How Vulnerable is Sen. Dole?
Ask Democratic strategists about their chances of giving Sen. Elizabeth Dole (R-N.C.) a serious race in 2008 and you're likely to hear them say she is surprisingly vulnerable.
Ask their Republican counterparts and they'll respond that Dole remains an iconic figure in the Tarheel State and will cruise to a second term.
Who's right?
Well, both sides have released polls recently that seem to make their respective points.
A poll conducted by Jan van Lohuizen earlier this month and released today by Dole's campaign shows her in strong shape for reelection. Sixty-four percent of the sample viewed Dole favorably while just 26 percent saw her in an unfavorable light. Dole's job performance ratings were similarly solid -- 63 percent approved of the job she is doing, compared with just 25 percent who disapproved.
Compare those numbers to President Bush's 45 percent favorable/52 percent unfavorable rating in the poll and it seems to justify van Lohuizen's conclusion that Dole's strong showing is in spite of "a difficult national political environment focused on Iraq."
Van Lohuizen pointed out that Democrats, who have yet to put forward a candidate against Dole, have their own problems in the state. Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (N.Y.), the frontrunner for the 2008 Democratic presidential nomination, has a 43 percent favorable/53 percent unfavorable rating in the state and nearly nine-in-ten voters (87 percent) view the state government, which is controlled by Democrats, as corrupt.
Case closed? Not so fast.
The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee released a poll of its own late last month that painted a drastically different picture. In that survey, which was conducted by Garin-Hart-Yang, 49 percent of the sample rated Dole's performance as a senator as either "excellent" or "good" while 46 percent said it was "fair" or "poor." Asked whether they would vote to reelect Dole, 35 percent said they would while 23 percent said they would consider someone else and 23 percent said they would definitely vote for someone else.
Atmospherically, the DSCC survey painted a bleak picture for Republicans. Just 34 percent said Bush was doing and excellent/good job while 64 percent rated him as fair/poor. Twenty-two percent of the sample said the country was headed in the right direction while 68 percent said it was off on the wrong track.
While the polls paint differing picture of Dole's vulnerability, they both agree that the climate in which she is running is an extremely difficult one for her party. The difference between the two polls is that van Lohuizen's survey argues that Dole is largely immune to the toxic political atmosphere while the Democratic one postulates that she is being weighed down by it.
The problem for Democrats at the moment is that they have no serious candidate willing to step forward and challenge Dole. Lt. Gov. Beverly Perdue and state Treasurer Richard Moore are both running for governor in 2008 and don't seem interested in switching races in midstream.
Outgoing Gov. Mike Easley (D) hasn't expressed any interest -- publicly at least -- in taking on Dole. Asked about the Senate in a recent sitdown with Charlie Rose, Easley said: "I just don't want to live that way. I mean, if you're in the Senate, you're sitting around doing hearings all day long, having -- I'm not a good meeting person. I don't like sitting in meetings."
Well, then ...
So, if not Perdue, Moore or Easley, then who? Rep. Bobby Etheridge has repeatedly expressed interest in running for Senate, only to back away in favor of Erskine Bowles (D) in 2002 and 2004. Rep. Brad Miller, who won the 13th district in 2002, is also mentioned.
Dole could throw a wrench in all of these calculations by deciding not to seek a second term. Republican insiders insist she will run, but her age -- she will be 72 on Election Day 2008 -- and her less-than-stellar performance as chair of the National Republican Senatorial Committee in the 2006 cycle have kept the whispers alive.
Will Dole crack our top ten in this week's Senate Line? Make sure to check back Friday for the answer.

Eric Ruth offers a story today about eating cheaply.
Last night, I was out with a terrific group of friends (shout out to you all) and we ate at "Eat."
Well, that's what I always call Border Cafe, a Tex-Mex/Cajun eatery in Stanton, because of the large "Eat" sign out front. (Is there even a Border Cafe sign out front??)
The dining rooms were very busy last night – and there were about a dozen people waiting for tables when we arrived. When I opened the menu, I quickly realized why it was so jammed. Wow. I don't think there was any entree more than $18. In fact, most meals are in the $10 and under range.
The creamy guacamole ($3.95 a bowl), flecked with tomatoes, onion and cilantro and served with a basket of warm tortilla chips, was very fresh-tasting and quite good as were the slightly spicy catfish tacos. The catfish taco platter – two tacos on flour tortillas – also comes with a side of rice and black beans for $7.47. That's some seriously cheap eats.
However, I'm no fan of Border's margaritas which are syrupy sweet icky. (Someone also said they tasted watery.) No thanks. I'm spoiled. I had a wonderful, freshly-squeezed pineapple margarita recently at Distrito in Philadelphia and now there's no going back to poorly produced cocktails.
Get a bottled beer instead, or maybe a glass of wine, which come in tumblers, for under $7.
And, speaking of icky, Border's needs to give its ladies restroom a serious scrubbing.
I guess that's the price you pay for cheap….

The 14-year-old singer Willow Smith, daughter of Will Smith is talented, a fashion icon for most of the other girls at her age and is an ispiration for Marc Jacobs.
The first face of the Marc Jacobs campaign was Cher, while Willow Smith is the next one. Add to that the fact that she and her brther have already their own clothing line. The young singer has often made statements with her outfits at her shows and that's one of the reasons that lie behind Marc Jacobs' decision .
Moreover, the Red Hot Chili Peppers frontman Anthony Kiedis and his adorable son, Everly Bear are the latest to join the Marc Jacobs FW15 campaign showing the amazing relation between father and son, shot by David Sims.

It is a flight attendant
And he questioned one of three
"By your chipper smile and charismatic voice
Now what for do you accost me?
The airlock doors swung wide open
And I am next to leave
The bags are got, I soon must jet
I hear the bag carousel weave and weave
But still he holds the passenger
There was a flight, said he
"Hey! If you've got a funny story,
Attendant! Come walk with me
The attendant speaks of a day past
Where the attendant lost his cool
A passenger was acting unruly
Truly seemed one great fool.
The attendant strolled the aisles
With the cart of goodies tall
Asking, "Would you like some nuts?"
For one man and the rest of all.
His day seemed to be going well
About as good as it could be
Some turbulence over Ohio
But blue, white skies to be seen
The attendant took his seat
When all his work was done
"What is that out on the wing?"
Is someone having a bit of fun!?
He peers through the porthole window
To catch a little glimpse
A strange figure runs from view
"Great… time to pass out the chips."
A customer in row two said,
"Hey, brah? I want a beer."
The attendant dawns a smile,
Trying hard to conceal the fear.
"What was that on the wing?"
The question panged his head.
He hands out the Coca-Cola.
While many passengers simply read.
"I must be going mad,"
The attendant quietly said.
He strolled off to the bathroom,
To cleanse his bowels instead.
He walked off to the stall,
Closed the door with a "clank."
"This job…. It's shearing out my soul
But, at least it's money in the bank."
The attendant cleans his hands
Suddenly—hears a strange sound
"Okay, what the fuck is going on."
He searches the source like a hound.
He peers down the sink,
And, boy, what does he see.
A little green demon scurries down
The attendant is scared as can be.
The flight is soon to land
They've passed the Great Lakes
The attendant wants to leave,
He'll do whatever it takes.
Some rough air as the liner falls
Through the open air
Some people suddenly awaken
Look out? The attendant doesn't dare.
"I thought this job was easy…"
The attendant solemnly thought
Customer service was impossible
When in his mind fears were wrought
As JetBlue Flight 1052
Descended to the ground,
The attendants brow was furrowed.
His face: it possessed a frown.
"If anything else goes wrong,
Today will be my last."
The future did not look rosy,
And certainly not the past.
The plane taxied to the terminal,
And a passenger got up too soon.
"Miss, could you please sit down?"
The phrase, it meant his doom.
She accosted him madly,
Trying to grab her bag.
"Miss, you're breaking the rules…."
The attendant was at wits end,
For a damned good reason.
He made his mind up now,
Because madness was in season.
He grabbed two cans of Coors,
For the jolly road.
He pulled the emergency exit,
And shouted with a goad:
"I quit, I quit, I quit.
I thought that you show know:
This flight has been the worst,
So, now, enjoy the show!"
He slid down the chute,
And ran from the terminal gate.
He sure had a blast,
But criminal charges soon await.
"Flight of the Drunken Airliner" is a parodic rendition of "Rime of the Ancient Mariner," using the trope of a forewarning tale, themes of travel, and questions of sanity. While my parody lacks much of the Romantic quality of Coleridge's original work, I've decided to use the generic plot as a skeletal structure to outline critiques of modern capitalism. The poem is intended to be a hybrid of antiquated and modern diction, with colloquial dialogue that punctuates the regular flow of poetic language and poetic rhyme pattern. I've used the same rhymed stanza format to tell the story, but, instead of being divided into parts, it is a simple long-form prose poem.
The narrative is a hybrid between the "Nightmare at 20,000 Feet" episode of Twilight Zone and the news story of JetBlue Flight 1052. By combining both fiction and fact, I expound on two stories which represent the anxieties of post-war capitalism. In the Twilight Zone episode, William Shatner's character Robert Wilson takes a flight where he experiences psychological trauma, and, in the JetBlue flight, flight attendant Steven Slater claims to face emotional abuse from a passenger, causing him to quit his job in a hilarious flare of commercial rebellion. By layering these two stories on top of one another, obscuring the differences between the two, I hope to represent the insanity of commercialism, technological fetishization, and the soul crushing nature of customer service work.
To some extent, I believe that humorizing the poem has done away with much of its historical, literary bite, but I'd argue that situating the poetry within a contemporary context is a useful act in and of itself. Where "Rime of the Ancient Mariner" is wholly a ghastly story of naturalistic revenge within the context of a moralistic tale, "Flight of the Drunken Airliner" is meant to be far less proselytizing. With the modernity of the rendition comes the indeterminacy of a moral lesson, and I hope that I've left enough for the reader to digest and make their mind up for themselves.

text: The housemates and I decided to take a trip for the weekend to Leah's house in North Carolina. It was the first time I have ever been to the Outer Banks, and the second time I have been to a beach that wasn't in New Jersey. The first time since I started working for Brigantine. It is such a beautiful place filled with wonder, ocean breeze, and plenty and plenty of sand. Sand in itself is a wonder, we have a love hate relationship. But it was nice to take a weekend off, for me to really finally say goodbye to the beach... though in all honesty (and I am a little biased...) Brigantine is a much better beach.

How do you build a great user research lab? Start with user needs

When GDS moved to our new offices, we needed to rebuild our user research lab. We started with the needs of the people who use the lab.
We've set up a user research panel for GOV.UK and we're looking to expand it to the rest of government.
Hello, I'm a user researcher on the GOV.UK Notify team. For the past couple of months I have been doing research with developers to see how easy it is to integrate Notify with their services, and streaming the sessions back …
A few months ago, we wrote about the user research panel we're building for GOV.UK. Since then, a lot of work has been done: we built the panel, the alpha service assessment has been passed, and we're now going into private …
We've been working on a project to build a user research panel for the GOV.UK user research team.
I've been working with GDS for several years now. I've researched, negotiated, procured and delivered several services for GDS, including a user research lab, an A/V library pilot and – currently in progress – a user research panel.
We produce a lot of video At GDS, we produce at least 200 hours of user research video per month. If participants give their permission, we record their user research sessions in our GDS user research lab, in external labs …
If you're thinking about building a user research lab, here are some important things you should think about and do. And it's not about tech.
When we built our user research lab, we avoided putting white work surfaces in the research space as much as possible. This is because white surfaces glare.
We had a couple issues with the sound in our lab's research studio - the space in which we research with users - which we've dramatically improved. In this post, I'll share what was causing those problems and how we fixed them.

Water explorers is a fantastic global programme that helps raise awareness of water conservation in schools. The comprehensive resources are child friendly and engaging and the children love completing challenges and seeing their points add up as they do so. As a teacher all the resources are provided for you which makes the programme very easy to implement in the classroom and the Water Explorers team are always there to offer help and advice. My class have gained so much from participating in this programme aside from a deeper understanding of conservation issues: teamwork, leadership and the confidence to present their work to others are just some of the many benefits I have seen. The programme links well with the Green Schools theme of Water and it has been a very beneficial programme for our school this year. I would highly recommend the Water Explorers programme for other schools!
Sharon Murphy- Teacher – Scoil Bhríde, Cork.
Since our school signed up to the Water Explorer programme, it really has been an education – for all of us. We found ways to reduce our water footprint at school, and pupils have also spread that knowledge far and wide into their homes and the local community. As part of the programme, pupils get to go online and watch their progress. It increases their awareness of this global issue We would really encourage other schools in the area to get involved and to become Water Explorers!
Paula Mc Dermott- Teacher- Scoil Éanna, Monaghan.
Not only have we found ways to reduce our water footprint at school, but pupils have also spread that knowledge far and wide into their homes and the local community.

Many feel that the painting of their pets reflect them as owners - if their pet is an original, sought-after colour, then they are a successful owner, and their neopets must be the best looked after in all Neopia. But is that true? Do your pets go hungry because you are too busy saving to feed them? Or are you just broke after buying that multimillion-neopoint faerie paintbrush from the Hidden Tower?
Another reason is the massive sense of achievement painting a pet brings. I myself once saved for over a year to paint a Gnorbu cloud - and I felt so immensely proud of myself once he was done. And yes, my pet was happy. And yes, I felt good that I had been able to muster up enough self-discipline not to just go running to the bakery and fill up on cakes. But my other pets suffered. I was so busy running around, trying to please one, that they had, I'll admit, been forgotten slightly. I felt so guilty afterward, that I booked the whole lot of them into the NeoLodge, and I was living on ten neopoints a week for months afterwards.
Furthermore, I cannot describe my frustration when my sister managed to adopt a cloud Gnorbu just weeks later. Don't get me wrong - I believe that adopting a homeless pet is one of the greatest things a Neopian owner can do, but I was so mad. There I was, still financially recovering from buying a two hundred thousand points paint brush, and she had gone and picked an identical pet up like he was an egg dish from the giant omelette. You may be thinking; "Two hundred thousand? That's nothing!!" But as a Neopian who doesn't dabble in the stock market or gamble on Poogles too often, it took me ages to save up using old fashioned gaming.
Neopians break their backs to paint their Skeith Darigan, only for Boochi to pay a visit, and where their ferocious, man-eating pet used to be, lies an adorable baby with a bow around his neck. Now if one point four million neopoints worth of colour can be zapped away so instantly and carelessly, I'd rather not take the risk. I would be heartbroken to know that all my effort had been for, let's face it, nothing.
In the pound, pets that are blue are overlooked in favour of a fire one, and owners spend hours trawling through endless lists of "normal" pets to find that special one, who they somehow feel is more worthy of their love. I just can't understand how people can justify themselves in thinking that just because a pet is painted that they deserve a chance more than another. I believe that the craze with wanting your pet to be such a fantastic colour has gone too far – it has reached a point where Neopians don't care where they got the pet from, as long as, on the Neoboards, they can show off that they have that Faerie Zafara everybody is so jealous of.
I'd be willing to bet my (admittedly not large) bank account that under a quarter of owners with four painted pets earned each and every one of them – created them, or adopted them when they were an original colour, and then worked as hard as they could to buy that paintbrush they wanted. Many pets who are just "acquired" from the pound often end up right back where they started, because although they may be a pea Chia and, let's face it, a pretty cool pet, it's hard to find a link with a pet who you haven't created or worked hard to paint – so they'll either end up rotting away on a side account, all alone, or staring Dr. Death in the face once more.
Paintbrushes are becoming so expensive these days that the regular Neopian on the street is struggling to keep up – who can earn 1,500,000 by playing Usuki Frenzy? There are people who remember the "good old days" when even the most sought-after paint brushes averaged at under 100k, but the trend has swept Neopia and people have gone rainbow-crazy. Even our petpets must be painted, to make our pets happy and proud of their friends. So does that mean we work so hard to make ourselves so happy and proud of our pets? Do we strive for so long because we feel we cannot possibly be proud of a green Yurble?
I feel as though I am judged for being a Neopian citizen whose pets aren't painted – people visit my lookup and automatically assume I'm a "newbie" or that I'm not that devoted to my pets. Well I'd like to take this opportunity to set the record straight – I love my pets, and they are always happy, well fed and loved – regardless of their colour.
Finally, although I can sit here and moan about the ridiculous nature of paint brushes until the Kaus come home, I still did it. And I probably will do it again. I'm saving my neopoints once more, and for what? I have no idea. But it is likely in a few months time my Kacheek or Bori will no longer be what they are now. Or maybe my "plain old" Kau or "boring" Usul will be not so boring. And I will continue to strive to paint my pets in an attempt to answer my question posed at the start - is it worth it? Maybe I'm looking for what it appears so many of you have found - the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, because right now – I just can't see it.
This is my first submission, so any constructive criticism would be gladly accepted!!

I have been responding to aircraft accidents and mishaps my entire career, and I have seen some of the amazing ways aircraft hazards can sneak up on you and challenge you to think outside the box. Have you heard that once an aircraft is on the ground, it's no different from a structure fire? I don't agree; I have been a part of multiple rotary wing and fixed wing aircraft crashes for military and civilian aircraft. In that time, only three have actually crashed on the airfield. Why is that important? Because mutual-aid partners of aircraft rescue and firefighting (ARFF) response organizations typically arrive first and apply the same strategy and tactics that normally woul…Read More

|Photo Credit: Andrew van der Vlies
2012 Flaherty-Dunnan First Novel Prize shortlisted author read and discussed his new book, Fallen Land.
About Fallen Land
Following the critical acclaim for his debut, Patrick Flanery's Fallen Land is his astonishing break-out novel; a nail-biting story powered by a fierce anger at the utter failure of the American dream, and the greatest fears that lurk in every one of us.
Poplar Farm has been in Louise's family for generations, inherited by her sharecropping forebear from a white landowner after a lynching. Now, the farm has been carved up, the trees torn down; a mini-massacre replicating the destruction of lives and societies taking place all over America. Architect of this destruction is Paul Krovik, a property developer soon driven insane by the failure of his dream. Julia and Nathaniel arrive from Boston with their son, Copley, and buy up Paul's signature home in a foreclosure sale. They move into the half-finished subdivision and settle in to their brave new world. Yet violence lies just beneath the surface of this land, and simmers deep within Nathaniel. The great trees bear witness, Louise lives on in her beleaguered farmhouse, and as reality shifts, and the edges of what is right and wrong blur and are lost, Copley becomes convinced that someone is living in the house with them.
Patrick Flanery is the author of Absolution, which was long-listed for the Guardian First Book Award and short-listed for the Center for Fiction's Flaherty-Dunnan First Novel Prize and the Royal Society of Literature Ondaatje Prize. Born in California, and raised in Omaha, he received his doctorate from Oxford. His latest book, Fallen Land, is due out from Riverhead in paperback this fall. Flanery lives in London.

The Kopp-Etchells Effect
Named after British and American soldier who died in Helman province, Afghanistan, this weird halo-like effect has been spotted around the rotor-blades of military helicopters. It is a result of static electricity that occurs when the CH-47s fly though dust storms.

We are finally getting back on track here after the holiday break with our daughter. 🙂
And with that, we want to share some of our inspiration with you!
Whenever we are designing a new rug for the shop, we pull out our "archives"… a huge blue binder full of photos, sketches, and notes from the last 30+ years of weaving here at Weaving Southwest.
Not only are these designs some of Rachel Brown's, but also the weavers we have had over the years, including Kimberly Hamill, Margaret Hermann, Roxanne Rane and Jodi Tucker (to name a few). Many of these designs have been woven over and over, incorporating different colors and playing around with different aspects of the design.
The images aren't the best, as they are photos of photos (taken up to 30 years ago) and for most pieces, we don't know the original sizes.
But, we thought you might like to see a glimpse into what happens behind the scenes here… and maybe these will add some inspiration to your next piece! 🙂
I am so excited to share this piece with you!
Over the years, Hélène has become one of my favorite tapestry artists… and she uses our yarns!
Maybe it's the images she weaves. Maybe it's her color choices. Maybe it is because I got to know her and her approach to her style of weaving when she was in one of my classes (that was a bit intimidating, teaching a certified French tapestry weaver Southwestern-style techniques, lol, but we had a wonderful time!). But, there is something about her work that sticks with me.
Every time she emails me a picture of a finished piece I am, well, blown away! And, for some reason, for months following, images of her work just keep popping into my mind. 🙂
I hope you enjoy this piece as much as I do. I'm going to try to dig up a few more photos of her work to share with you soon.
The image for this piece comes from a bestiary of the 12th century.
You can find Hélène on Facebook by clicking here.
We missed a couple Doses this week. Sorry about that! Our kiddo has a school break and has kinda consumed all our time. 🙂
This piece is the last I am going to share from this series (I don't have good photos of the rest). You can click here, here, here and here to see more from this series.
This was the largest of them all! And quite a challenge as I had loom issues for the center panel and then needed to match up the ojos in the outer panels to the stripes in the center panel. Honestly, I didn't think it was going to work… but it did! I trusted my math and, for the most part, it worked out!
You will notice a little bit of puckering in the center panel (this is because of the loom issues). The client didn't mind and just wanted this piece right away. We hope the rug "settles into itself", as pieces tend to once they are off the loom for a bit. But, if not, I will be blocking it someday soon to get rid of the puckers (as the weaver, they drive me crazy, lol, but the clients didn't mind at all!).
I hope you have a wonderful day filled with family and friends!
This is another piece I wove for my last custom job. You can click here, here and here to see the other pieces in this series.
This design is based on our Arrowhead Moki design.

Hi Glen,
Can you possibly identify this tiny little spider for me? I found it on my deck in Brentwood Bay on Vancouver Island in BC. I have 2 pics, at first I thought I was looking at an ant, the way it was walking, then on further inspection discovered that it had a 8 legs and rather large palps for it's size. It has 2 white oval shaped spots on it's abdomen. I have not seen anything like it before. The second pic shows it's size as it is on my husband's finger.

Hi Glen,
How have you been lately? Here are two neat little arachnids I found recently. I think one is an Ant Mimicking Spider with some legs missing. The other, I guess, is a Crab Spider of some kind. I've seen this little brown/orange kind a lot lately. I have posted a lengthy video containing good footage of the Crab Spider here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=APPbZMTrFRs.

Man In Hospital After Queensland Crime Rampage
Queensland Police used a mobile phone's GPS to track a man who allegedly embarked on a crime rampage in which he shot at a man southeast of Brisbane.
The 30-year-old man remains in hospital after police allege he stole cars, broke into homes and fired a shot at a man trying to stop him in the early hours of Saturday in Redland Bay.
The man's crime spree started in Mount Gravatt East where a Toyota Prado was stolen and driven to Redland Bay, police say.
A 33-year-old man who noticed the car was damaged and tried to assist the driver was then threatened with a gun, while the assailant kicked down the door of a nearby house and assaulted a 56-year-old man for not handing over his keys.
Police have arrested a man after he allegedly broke into several houses, fired shots and stole vehicles in Redlands and Moreton Bay overnight. https://t.co/03PxkyNd19— Queensland Police (@QldPolice) October 29, 2017
A male neighbour, 43, followed the man and was allegedly shot at before stopping his chase, with the accused almost hitting a group of four on the road, police said.
A police helicopter tracked the car using a mobile phone inside, before it crashed and rolled in Caboolture.
It's alleged the driver stole another car and drove towards Bribie Island before spikes flattened his tyres and he escaped on foot.
He was arrested inside a home he had broken into in Bellara and taken to hospital with leg injuries from a police dog during his arrest.

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_Wikipedia:
"It has also been noted that, despite the perception of Wikipedia as a "shining example of Web democracy" "a small number of people are running the show."[64] Despite the need for some form of control in an open system, this "doesn't explain the kind of territorialismÑthe authorial domination by 1 percent of contributorsÑon the site's pages." ......... "Among the allegations of administrator abuse, one often finds claims that the administrators have become a clique whose goals or viewpoints set them apart from ordinary users. An article on The Register, dated 4 December 2007 and entitled "Secret mailing list rocks Wikipedia", alleged the use of a private mailing list to coordinate administrative actions.[68]"
The U.S. Copyright Act, Sect. 101 et seq., the U. S. Statute on Tort, the International Berne Convention on Copyright Protection, and other U. S. and international laws against unintentional or fraudulent plagiarism, support:
# CIVIL PROCEEDINGS to secure financial compensation for the unintentional copying of even a small part of copyrighted publications (e.g., ''copying a few words out of a book containing 200,000 words''); and
# CRIMINAL PROCEEDINGS when the plagiarism has been an intentional premeditated fraud, as well as for other deceptions damaging to society, such as the premeditated suppression of the existence of major inconsistencies in physical theories when fully known to the authors-editors-publishers.
July 18, 1999
In the absence of immediate corrective measures to OUR satisfaction, we shall sue in civil and-or criminal court all authors, editors, and publishers who have in the past, or continue in the future to plagiarize, either in part or in full, the following PARAMETRIC DEFORMATION OF LIE THEORY, AND OF HEISENBERG EQUATION in their infinitesimal and finite versions
(A, B) = pAB - qBA = m(AB - BA) + n (AB + BA),
idA/dT = (A, H) = pAH - qHA,
A(t) = exp(itqH)A(0)exp(-itpH),
without: A) quoting; B) outlining; and C) identifying in full the first origination of the above deformations in Santilli's Ph. D. studies of 1967 published in the copyrighted Refs. [1,2,3] (see Ref. [1], Eq. (8) p. 573 for the very first (p,q)-deformation of the Lie product - evidence for a prior formulation is solicited).
It should be noted that, prior to releasing Ref. [1] for publication, Santilli (a physicist) spent one full year in European mathematics libraries to identify the prior literature on the abstract algebra with his product (A,B), which he did success in tracing to the notion of Lie-admissibility formulated in the 1940's by the famous American mathematician A. A. Albert (although without realization of the product). Such a serious dedication to quote prior references, and Albert notion of Lie-admissibility have been suppressed by authors-editors-publishers in the widespread literature in deformations, by ignoring numerous calls to scientific honesty, thus leaving no other recourse than that at Law.
In particular, the first known (p,q)- deformation of the SU(2)-spin algebra was presented by Santilli at the 1980 Clausthal meeting in differential geometry and published in the copyrighted Ref. [11] plagiarized by countless individuals without any quotation of its first origination, as well as with the vulgar suppression of Albert's paternity of the underlying algebra (the first thing taught in graduate school is to identify the algebra of the brackets of the time evolution as necessary to do serious research, which is routinely done for quantum formulations, but systematically suppressed for deformations, evidently for personal gains, an unethical posture that will be duly treated in the sole remaining manner, the Federal Court).
In the absence of immediate corrective measures to OUR satisfaction, we shall sue in civil and-or criminal court all authors, editors, and publishers who have in the past, or continue in the future to plagiarize in part or in full the following OPERATOR DEFORMATION (ISOTOPY) OF
LIE'S THEORY including, but not limiting to the isotopies of the basic unit, associative product, enveloping associative algebras, Lie algebras, Lie groups, Lie symmetries, etc.,
I* = 1/T = I^+ /not = 1,
AoB = ATB, I*oA = Ao*I = A,
[A, B]* = AoB - BoA = ATB - BTA,
A(w) = exp(iwXT)A(0)exp(-iwTX), X = X+,
today internationally known as the "Lie-Santilli isotheory", as originally presented in the copyrighted publications [4,5,7] and then studied in a large variety of independent works, e.g., Refs. [38,57,58,70].
It should be noted that, prior to releasing his first volume with Springer-Verlag when at MIT in 1977 and at Harvard University in 1978, Santilli spent one full year in the Cantabridgean libraries to identify the entire history of the inerrability conditions for the existence of a Lagrangian or a Hamiltonian, which he traced all the way to Helmholtz. Such a commitment to prior references is nowadays generally absent in scientific works, where the prior literature structurally related to the work at hand is vulgarly suppressed by numerous author under the support by editors and publishers, in evident disrespect of ethics and science, thus leaving no other recourse than that at Law. In the final analysis, if we do not quote our predecessors, how can anybody, in turn, possibly expect to be quoted ?
In the absence of immediate corrective measures to OUR satisfaction, we shall sue in civil and-or criminal court all authors, editors, and publishers who have in the past, or continue in the future to plagiarize in part or in full the following broader BIMODULAR OPERATOR DEFORMATIONS (GENOTOPY) OF
LIE' THEORY, including, but not limiting to the genotopies of the unit, associative product, universal associative algebras, Lie algebras, Lie groups, Lie symmetries, etc.
A (x_R) B = ASB, A (x_L) B = ARB (A, B) = A (x_L) B - B (x_R) A = ARB - BSA,

# 7-M: lawsuits will be filed without notice against anybody who denies without rigorous disproof:
1) the "direct universality" of hadronic mechanics, that is, its capability of representing all infinitely possible, nonlinear, nonlocal and nonunitary generalizations of quantum mechanics (universality), directly in the frame of the observer without any need of the transformation theory (direct universality);
2) hadronic mechanics as the only known invariant and consistent formulation of nonlinear, nonlocal and nonunitary theories;
3) the abstract identity of quantum and hadronic mechanics, the latter one merely providing a broader realization of established, abstract, quantum axioms, as a consequence of which hadronic mechanics verifies established laws (Pauli's exclusion principle, Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, causality, etc.).
# 7-N: plagiarize any of the various applications and experimental verifications of hadronic mechanics, such as:
# Fronteau-Santilli-Teller Arenas formulation of a credible statistics , that with an intrinsic irreversible structure [9];

# Mignani-Santilli isotopies of quark theories, with all conventional quantum numbers, the first known exact confinement of isoquarks (but not of quarks....) with an identically null probability of tunnel effects (because the internal Myung-Santilli iso-Hilbert and the external Hilbert spaces are incoherent), and a convergent (sic) perturbative series under strong interactions (because in all associative product A*B = ATB, |T| < 1, thus turning all conventionally divergent series into strongly convergent generalized forms), as originally published in [24] (Mignani's first proof of isomorphism between the isotopic symmetry with the Lie-Santilli isoproduct ATB - BTA, |T| > 0, and conventional SU(3) symmetry with product AB - BA), [33] (Mignani-Santilli first construction of the isorepresentation of the isotopic SU(3) algebras), [53] (Santilli's explicit construction of the isoquark theory with Kalnay's Lie-admissible quantization of Nambu's mechanics).
# Santilli's first achievement via hadronic mechanics of an exact, numerical and invariant representation of ALL characteristics of the neutron as a hadronic bound state of a proton and electron totally compressed in its hyperdense interior, according to Rutherford's original conception, as first published in the copyrighted Refs.

# the first exact-numerical representation of total nuclear magnetic moments [49,76] via extended, nonspherical and deformable nucleons represented via the generalized units;
# the prediction of the new, subnuclear, "hadronic energy" [47] via the stimulated decay of the neutron which is permitted when having Rutherford's original structure verifying hadronic mechanics, while strictly prohibited when the neutron constituents are the conjectural quark verifying quantum mechanics;
# the new method of recycling nuclear waste via the stimulated decay of its peripheral neutrons [62];
# the first nonlocal isotopic theory of the Bose-Einstein correlation [34] and its exact fit by Cardone and Mignani [60];
# Animalu's isosuperconductivity [50] with the first, credible, theoretical representation of ONE (rather than an ensemble of) Cooper pair in which the identical electrons have a strong mutual attraction overcoming the repulsive Coulomb force when in singlet coupling at sufficiently small distances to activate hadronic ,mechanics, as additionally studied in details in the copyrighted Ref. [54];
# the first explicit and concrete realization of hidden variables, generalization of Bell's inequalities, and all that via hadronic mechanics and the isoeigenvalue equations H*| > = H T | > = E | >, which are "hidden" in the abstract axioms of quantum mechanics because at the abstract level "H | >" and "H*| >" coincide, since they are both associative right modular [68,37;
# Santilli-Shillady hadronic chemistry [77], and related new isochemical model of molecular structure with a new strong force between pairs of valence electrons in singlet couplings (absent in quantum chemistry), which achieves for the first time a representation of binding energies, electric and magnetic moments exact to the seventh digit, and numerous other advances simply unthinkable for quantum chemistry;

In the absence of immediate corrective measures to OUR satisfaction, we shall sue in civil and-or criminal court all authors, editors, and publishers who have in the past, or continue in the future to plagiarize in part or in full SANTILLI'S ISOSPECIAL RELATIVITY, whether in its conceptual, mathematical, and physical foundations, or in any of its applications and experimental verifications in particle physics, nuclear physics, superconductivity, chemistry, biology, astrophysics, and cosmology, with particular reference, but not limited to the following main aspects:
# Santilli's first isotopies of the Minkowski spacetime with conventional metric m, achieved in the copyrighted paper [19] of 1983 with isospacetime interval
x^2 = x^i M_ij x^j = x^i (T_i^k m_ki) x^j =
x^1 b_1^2 x^1 + x^2 b_2^2 x^2 + x^3 b_3^2 x^3 - x^4 b_4^2 x^,
# Santilli's first isotopies of : the rotational symmetry [26]; the SU(2)-spin symmetry [41]; the Lorentz symmetry [19]; the Poincare' symmetry [42] and the spinorial covering of the Poincare' symmetry [51]; and the proof that for positive-definite isounits, all of them are isomorophic to the conventional symmetries.
# Santilli's systematic studies of the new isominkowskian geometry, initiated in [19], continued in [37], and recently presented in Ref. [71] via the unification of the Minkowskian and Riemannian geometries;
# The achievement of an axiomatically consistent operator formulation of gravity in the copyrighted Ref. [52], reached via the isotopic factorization of Riemannian metrics g(x) = T(x)m, and the embedding of the matrix T representing gravity in the UNIT of relativistic quantum mechanics, whose axioms are preserved(since | T | > 0), thus achieving the first known consistent operator form of gravity (since all interactions except gravity are regulated by the basic Poincare' symmetry);
# The achievement of the first known universal SYMMETRY (rather than covariance) for all possible Riemannian gravitational models which is isomorphic to the Poincare' symmetry, achieved via their identical reformulation in Minkowski-Santilli isospaces [42], which invariance is an evident NECESSARY pre-requisite for all credible grand unifications;
# The isotopies of Galilei's and the special relativity achieved in the copyrighted monographs [31] of 1991, then studies in the copyrighted monographs [37] of 1993, and all copyrighted papers quoted in this fair warning, where the copyrighted coverage is specially intended for the isotopies of the various basic axioms of said relativities (see Ref. [32] by Jannussis et al for the first application and examples of Santilli's isogalilean relativity,. and Ref. [36] by Mignani on the first application and verification of Santilli's isospecial relativity, followed by numerous others).
# The geometric unification of the special and general relativity for matter and antimatter, first reached in Ref. [37] with detailed geometric study in Ref. [76], which is another evident NECESSARY pre-requisite for any credible grand unification;
# Santilli's iso-grand-unification encompassing all known classical and operator interactions for matter and antimatter, reached in the copyrighted Ref. [66] via the embedding of gravity for matter in positive-definite generalized units of unified gauge theories, and the embedding of gravity for antimatter in negative-definite generalized units, resulting in the only known axiomatically consistent and invariant grand unification (see below for the inconsistencies of other generalizations), as entirely, uniquely and unambiguously characterized by the symmetry [Poincare'-Santilli isosymmetry for matter]x[isodual Poincare'-Santilli isosymmetry for antimatter];
# Santilli's isoselfdual cosmology [72], the first one characterized by a UNIVERSAL SYMMETRY (rather than local covariance), with intriguing features such as: equal amounts of matter and antimatter (as a limit case); identically null total characteristics of time, energy, and other physical quantities; lack of need for the "missing mass" because in the isoequivalence principle E = MC^2, the average value C = c/n for the universe is bigger than that of light in vacuum due to the bigger contributions from interior astrophysical problems (where the maximal causal speed is bigger than the speed of light in vacuum as per evidence indicated below); and other features, with natural geno-, and hyper-cosmologies, the latter one being the first to permit a credible inclusion of biological systems as required by the term "universe";
# Experimental verification by Cardone et al [35] of the validity of Santilli's isominkowskian geometry for the geometrization of the interior of hadrons, subsequently confirmed by Arestov and al. [75], with confirmation of the hypothesis of 1982 [16] of causal speeds in the interior of hadrons bigger than that of light in vacuum;
# Experimental verification by Mignani [36] of Santilli's isospecial relativity via its axiom of isodoppler's redshift that permits the exact numerical representation of the large difference in cosmological redshifts between certain quasars and galaxies when physically connected according to clear spectroscopic evidence. The interpretation is merely achieved via the invariant isotopic treatment of the DECREASE of the speed of light in the huge quasars chromospheres, as a result of which light exits said quasar chromospheres already redshifted in an amount much bigger than that exiting galaxies whose isolated stars have much smaller isodoppler effects;
# Experimental verification of the isospecial relativity via the sole known quantitative-numerical representation of the quasars internal red- and blue-shifts [55];
# and various other applications and verifications.
Individual authors, editors, and publishers, are informed that, CRIMINAL COMPLAINTS will be filed in the event of publication of generalized theories afflicted by catastrophic inconsistencies as identified in the copyrighted Refs. [15,43,44,45,62,64,65,77] under full prior awareness of the same and without immediate corrective measures.
We are here referring to another vulgar condition of our physics community whereby a number of (but certainly not all) authors-editors-publishers release papers on theories possessing a NONUNITARY TIME EVOLUTION, under their documented awareness that such a structure implies the following known inconsistencies [loc. cit.], yet with the premeditated deception of avoiding their quotation:
1) Nonunitary theories do not leave invariant the basic units of time, length, energy, etc., thus having no possible confrontation with experiments (no unit 1 is preserved under nonunitary transforms 1 -> 1' = U'U^+, UU+ not = 1);
2) Nonunitary theories do not contain observable quantities (because Hermiticity is not preserved by nonunitary transforms - Lopez lemma [45]), thus having no physical value of any known type;
3) Nonunitary theories have non-unique and non-invariant numerical predictions (because the conventional and special functions and transforms used in the data elaboration are both nonunique and noninvariant under nonunitary transforms);
4) Nonunitary theories violate causality (because there exist nonunitary transforms for which the effects precede the cause), and consequently violate other known basic laws;
5) Nonunitary theories grossly violate Galilei's and Einstein's relativities (because of their known strictly unitary character).
Fair warning should be given that ALL RIEMANNIAN FORMULATIONS OF GRAVITY HAVE BEEN PROVED TO BE EQUALLY AFFLICTED BY THE ABOVE CATASTROPHIC INCONSISTENCIES AT THE CLASSICAL AND OPERATOR LEVELS [61,74,79]. AS A RESULT, ALL GRAND UNIFICATION BASED ON THE RIEMANNIAN REPRESENTATION OF GRAVITY ARE CATASTROPHICALLY INCONSISTENT.
This can be easily seen by the fact that the map from the Minkowski metric m to any Riemannian metric g(x)
m -> g(x)= U(x)mU^+(x),
is necessarily NONCANONICAL at the classical level and necessarily NONUNITARY at the operator level. In the absence of a disproof published in refereed journals (rather than via idle talks in dirty academic corridors), catastrophic physical inconsistencies can be suppressed in publications, without immediate ciorrective actisons, only by physicists deserving criminal prosecutions. <[> Again, everybody is free to publish physics papers based on the Riemannian representation of gravity, provided that their catastrophic inconsistencies are either disproved or quoted. Anybody who disagrees with these minial rules of scientific ethics deserves to be sued.

There is little doubt that we are living during the most corrupt, dishonest and unethical times in the history of science. The Committee for Scientific Ethics and Accountability invites all scholars, administrators and businesspersons to join. Pre-requisites for acceptance in the Committee are evidence of activity in the field, that is, denunciation of corrupt behavior in academia. Please send us a note at the e-address below, and allow one week for response.

The short answer is YES! Non-command sponsored dependents are authorized to travel unaccompanied to/from their sponsor's OCONUS duty station. Documentation signed by the sponsor's commander verifying non-command sponsorship shall be presented to air terminal personnel, and shall be in the dependents' possession during travel. This letter is valid for one Cat-V round-trip to and from the sponsor's OCONUS PCS duty location. Space-A travel must be completed within ninety (90) days from the date the letter is issued or a new letter is required. Here is a sample Non-command Sponsor Letter.
NOTE: "Non-command sponsored" dependents MAY travel (from CONUS) Space-A in Category III if accompanied by their sponsor to and from the duty location and Category V if not accompanied by their sponsor. For travel to Korea, dependents are authorized one 30-day visit per 365-day period and extensions are not authorized. (Reference PASSENGER SERVICE UPDATE DTG: 261800Z OCT 01 para 1.A.4 and 1.B).
