23 Meetup Groups match "Country Music" near Boston, MA
Country Music kicks ass! But it's really, really hard to find a place not only to hear Country, but also dance to it. This meetup gets people together who love listening to country music, love hanging out with friends and drinking beer (preferably out of mason jars), and who wanna dance to it! Line dancing may not have such a great vibe here in MA, but when you do it with a bunch of friends in a bar with lots of beer, it catches on and everyone has a great time.
We are a group dedicated to Country Line & partner dancing and Country music. We are hosted by The Brookline Event Center in Brookline, NH. They have one of the largest dance floors in the area. In addition to Country Line & partner dances we also have beginner & intermediate dance lessons. Our goal is to introduce new people into the fun of Country dancing.
There are no upcoming Meetups.

Mission Statement: Over the next few years, I would like to immerse myself in the learning and understanding all types of music: classical, baroque, folk, jazz, blues, rock, country, etc., to experience the process of lyric and song writing, and to learn to play instruments from cello to kazoo (I don't mean master, but to gain an introduction to a wide variety of instruments). I would like to find individuals, musicians or non-musicians, interested in joining or participating in this endeavor. P …
I designed Mood Dancing while I was listening to a structured dance class at the gym one day. I thought to myself - I'd love to DANCE - but my OWN way. I also love to dance to ALL DIFFERENT types of music. And this is how I came up with MOOD DANCING. We dance to: current dance hits, 2000's, 1990's, 1980's, 1970's, 1960's, 1950's, jazz, rhythm and blues, rock & roll, hip hop, reggae, glam, folk, country, psychedelic, punk, grunge, alternative, swing, disco ... the list goes on and on. Also - ther …
Sharing and promoting Line Dance along with its benefits for the mind and body. Low impact fun while creating fun and fitness. A great way to meet new friends that share the fun of dance. Anyone who has a desire to put a little fun into your life by dancing your worries away. Not just country music but covers all genres.
-Mission statement: It is my sincere hope this club will be a haven for those who have tried to find worthwhile people in all the usual places (clubs, bars, parties, conventions) and only came up empty. I want myself and the club members to truly take life back and live a sensible, humane, warm, compassionate, artful, and full life again in this country. I am forming this club largely as a reaction (and hopefully solution) to the declining quality of human interaction in the US. I have my the …
THIS IS YOUR INVITATION TO THE GREATER RI and SE-MA CONTRA DANCING!

Contra dance is a kind of social dance with live music where a caller teaches the figures. You don't need to come with a partner, and while there is a short lesson before each of our dances it's optional. Most people learn contra dancing by doing it. It looks like: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=beOFeIIk4KY You should wear comfortable clothes that you can move easily in. High heels don't work well. We'll have water but if you'd like to save cups bringing a water bottle is good.
If you enjoy Karaoke and live in or near Boston, then this is the Meetup for you. We generally get everyone together once a month for a fun evening of Karaoke. We have met at the Limelight in Boston and the Karaoke Courtside in Cambridge. We'll probably try some new places as well. No prior experience necessary. Just be ready to have a good time. We have a rather ecclectic group and the music will range from pop to rock to oldies to soul to alternative to rap to country. We welcome all types of …

European Folk music and Cultural History with Natasha Dukach. Beyond just exploring Pan-Slavic and Eastern European music for the sheer joy of it, I also want to push the perceived boundaries of national folk music. In Russia, Ukraine, and Hungary, growing conservative political factions are attempting to use their nation's musical heritage in a bid for a kind musical nationalism--each claiming the purity and superiority of their respective nation's musical traditions as a way of instilling cons …

Scotland's biggest city, Glasgow once was known as the British Empire's "second city." Today, it remains a competitive force in the worlds of business, finance, and gay frolic. Fast-talking, friendly Glaswegians are proud of their city and give a warm welcome to visitors.
Pride Glasgow takes place in July. A huge stage is set up in George Square, which sits next to Queen Street train station. Glasgay is an annual arts festival that runs from October to November. Venues throughout the city hosting shows, films, and exhibitions.
Getting here
Glasgow Airport is the main gateway into Scotland for transatlantic flights. The closest rail station to the airport is Paisley Gilmour Street, just one mile from the terminal, so easily reached by taxi or bus. Connect from here to Glasgow Central on one of eight SPT trains each hour (5/hr on Sundays) - also to Ayr and Clyde Coast destinations. Number 500 buses depart every 10 minutes, 24 hours a day, for a trip of 25 minutes (5 pounds) to Glasgow's two main rail stations – Central and Queen Street – and the main bus terminus - Buchanan Bus Station. For more options see the airport website above.
Prestwick Airport, 30 miles southwest of Glasgow, has some good connections as well.
To arrive by train see the websites of National Rail and ScotRail.
Getting around
Glasgow's streets are busy and vibrant, and walking along the charming River Clyde is one of the best ways to get to know the city. Bring along comfortable shoes, because you'll want to stroll. For subway, bus, ferry and other public transportation see STP, the Strathclyde Partnership for Transport.
Currency and Money
Scotland's currency is the British pound. ATMs are available in the downtown area.

Absolutely wonderful performance
To the Editor:
I cannot possibly come up with enough adequate compliments to express my feelings regarding Telstar's recent performance of "Guys and Dolls." In short, it was absolutely wonderful. Not only was it wonderful to see so many young community members sharing their fabulous talents, but also to see so many others supporting such a tremendous endeavor.
From those involved in directing the acting, music, choreography, to set design, refreshments, tickets, promotion, and providing general overall moral support — I won't even begin to mention names as I wouldn't want to leave anyone out, but hopefully you all realize who you are and take pride in what you accomplished!
Audiences have the luxury of experiencing the end result, but I don't know how often they truly realize and appreciate just how much goes into the preparation of such an event.
Witnessing something like this makes my heart smile, laugh, even cry, but at least with joy in knowing there are so many young gifted people willing to share their talents, and that there are so many others giving precious time and effort encouraging those young people to let themselves shine.
Thanks so much to all of you involved, for such extraordinary entertainment! Jewel Clark

Costa Rica ag tour open to public
Ten-day trip to study food production, agricultural diversity, more
Tuesday, September 11, 2012
Explore agricultural activities of Costa Rica with Parkland agriculture students during a 10-day Study Abroad opportunity this December.
Parkland's supervised Study Abroad program, "Study in Costa Rica," will take place Dec. 11-20. Designed for students seeking field experience in international agriculture, the tour offers visits to tropical crops; cocoa, coffee, banana, and pineapple plantations; dairy farms; vegetable and flower farms; beef cattle farms; and more. Participants gain firsthand knowledge of agriculture's role in international food production/trade as well as a greater understanding of how cultural and economic diversity influences agriculture.
"The impact this trip has had on previous attendees has been tremendous," Study Abroad coordinator Don Bergfield said, recalling a recent meeting with a former agriculture student who now works for Archer Daniels Midland Co. "[The student] told me that the Costa Rica trip was one of the most important factors in landing him the grain merchandising internship at ADM's Hutchison, Kansas, plant," Bergfield said.
Trip participants must be 18 and older; have a valid passport; demonstrate college-level reading, writing and math skills; and provide proof of insurance. The site tour, as it is part of a course, will include fieldwork, lectures, and opportunities to explore.
The program fee of $1,900 includes roundtrip airfare, room, meals, tours, and ground transportation. A $300 deposit, along with a completed application, is due by Oct. 5. Space is limited.
Residents needing more information or who wish to apply for this exciting adventure should contact Don Bergfield, Study Abroad coordinator for Business and Agri-Industries, at 217/351-2406 or

How to deal with Copyright Claims on photos?
I don't know where I should seek out help for this one, but I'm trying here first.
So, I got an email two days ago from a woman that said:
--- Quote ---You have posted copyrighted photos of my home and business. Remove all of them at once.
They are posted here, and may be posted in other places on your site:
*Link to photo album* (now removed)
*signed with her name*
--- End quote ---
Pretty rude if you ask me. She makes it seem like I hid in her bushes, took pictures of her home and am plastering them all over the internet. That is not the case....
Now, the images in question...they are images of a movie filming location. Which happens apparently to be her own home which she rents out a lot to production companies to film there. The film was from the 80s, but as far as I understand she has rented it out NUMEROUS times.
The property, contact info, address, and photos are all on this California Film Commission website. The site has a disclaimer, which honestly, I don't know if I noticed when I reposted the photos, but I reused the images from the Film Commission website on my website two years ago almost to the day according to my FTP program. These images are also on this womans own personal site for the property, and at least 1-2 other fan sites (my competition, who she also ended up giving an interview to a few years back). The SAME exact photos.
We are just a little fan site, we get $ "gifts" to keep the site running for hosting fees and domain name fees. I do have google ads up and I do have amazon affiliate links - lets be honest, what site doesn't these days? But I don't make much at all from it and it all goes back into the site. I've had this website for 18 years, and have never had any copyright issues. Due to some evidence, I believe that the competition who interviewed this woman basically showed her that I had the images up and she's putting up a stink. He's doing the same sort of thing to other sites too. His site isn't even a year old, but he does have "connections" and is using them well to get on everyone's good side.
Quite frankly, fan sites pretty much run on copyrighted material. The movie site I run has two movie companies invovled and I know over the years I've dealt with both companies just emailing back and forth about random things dealing with the movie series. They've never once told me to remove any of their content from my site. I also have various images from tons of different magazines on my site. If this guy wants to keep reporting me, soon I'll have no site that I've devoted 18yrs of my life to. I also make sure to list my source on EVERY piece of material I use when I can. I started running this @ age 13 so, back then I wasn't as careful.
The disclaimer on the California Film Commission website states:
--- Quote ---DISCLAIMER: The above search results are for the sole purpose of research for the user. The images may be copyrighted by individuals and cannot be used without permission. The user has no authority to reproduce these images in anyway outside of the sole use of research
--- End quote ---
I take this to mean I can legally use these images as my site is for the preservation and research of a movie franchise. Am I wrong?
Going back to the matter at hand, now what should I do? Remove the images? Write her back asking for poof that she holds the copyrights to those images? I don't have $ to be sued for silly on location photos, but its the principal of the matter here. These images are on various other sites, and its ok, but not for my site? Sounds very fishy to me. I'm a fan site that has no lawyers working for me lol. So I can only provide my own response in return, but I want to do the right legal thing here.
Out of respect for the claim I've hidden the photos from site (they are still uploaded but PW protected so only I may see them, as to not lose stats and descriptions of them) and there is a message to users that there is a copyright claim in progress and the album will be reopend in 14 days pending the status of the claim. I was then going to email her today telling her that she has 14 days to prove with documentation that she in fact has a copyright to the photos.
So, does anyone know anything about this sort of stuff?
The disclaimer states that the original owner of the pictures can hold copyright, and apparently, he/she does.
So, if said person asks you to remove the picture because he/she made those pictures, then yes: you do have to remove them.
It usually would be done by a DMCA way of filing it though.

Then what is the purpose of saying "The user has no authority to reproduce these images in anyway outside of the sole use of research"?
I have now been told by another source, that my competition was asked to remove the photos after the woman got phone calls from fans of the movie series. Its not MY fault that she posts photos of her home which is her business on other sites WITH her email address, home address, and phone number. So, it sounds to me, like she doesn't wish to be associated at all with this specific movie but doesn't mind being associated with other movies. Not that she really owns the images (maybe she does, I have no idea). If I had a site about something else that was filmed there it would be ok. Just not a horror movie from the 80s. I'm assuming if I remove the photos, and leave the links to her site and the CA Film Commission website that she'll ask for those links to be removed, which I believe legally she can't ask me to do.
I don't mind taking the photos down, but not without proof. I won't be bullied for no reason. How would *I* go about checking if she has the copyright to these images? No where on her personal site does it say they are not to be reproduced. Aren't I within my right to keep the photos on the site till she proves that they are hers with some sort of documentation?
If I wrote to her telling her that I temporary took them down for 14 days, pending proof of said Copyright, would I get into legal trouble? For now all it is is some person claiming they hold the copyright. I could write to anyone claiming I owned the copyright to something too, but that doesn't make it legal.
Do you "own" the copyright to anything you take a photograph of without going down to an office and getting a written notice that you own a copyright to that? I mean, I really have no idea how this works.
Assuming this is in the USA then just go to the library of congress and look for the copyright. On the other hand any picture taken is automatically copyrighted to the Photographer. She may not even be the one who took the pics. Unless she employed the phoyographer. Then the rights do belong to her fully. It is legal to post most any picture you take,,, or modify.
So just shop the image a bit. That will really burn her up and it is pretty much legal. Unfortunatly I dont think this falls under reasearch.
"The user" means you... Not the copyright owner. You are the user of the website that has that disclaimer...
So, you violated the disclaimer :P

A small update...
Looking for some feedback to help with the skin detail and finishing.

Nice job! I really like your character!
Thanks Babineau
Another concept sculpt. Still needs to be posed.
C & C always welcome.
If anyone could give me some insight into a good workflow for sculpting the sash/sarong that would be really appreciated.
wow man. This last one has a weird, androgenous vibe that's just creepy as hell! THe whole thumbless bit just adds to the weird! Loving it. Crit wise the cloth is definitely the weakest link. I find that
using standard brush with a tight alpha and lazy mouse + Gravity on works fairly well for cloth folds. Also, there are some brushes by a user named Sewly (just search sewly brush here or google) that
work very well, but not sure if they work with the newer releases of zb.
Hey Wayniac,
thanks for the positive feedback and tips.
I will give your brush ideas a go.
Thanks again.
this is a really strong character design. Nice work
Thanks Stephen
Its great to hear that kind of feedback.
Here are some quick speed sculpts/ progress and thumbnail developments using the liquify and warp tools in PS.
C & C as always is super welcome.

I noticed this a couple of days ago but got busy with work and forgot to respond to it.
I think its very interesting and highly suggestive, much like a Georgia O' Keef painting.
Are you going to color it?
I don't know what I'm doing but I'm doing it anyway.

Spurs notebook: Spurs' pickup game with kids highlight of trip
Though Wednesday's matchup against Minnesota in Mexico City was postponed due to unsafe playing conditions, the Spurs were at least able to get in one game during their ill-fated trip south of the border.

What's wrong with the Spurs' offense? Tim Duncan

The Spurs haven't lost since a Nov. 2 setback in Portland. They share the best record in the league with the Indiana Pacers, who are also in action on Wednesday.

And when to begin?
Instead of agonizing over it, we decided to begin today, right in the middle of it, (or, to be all high-falutin' about it, and say like the Romans used to say,—in medias res).
So, what we've got here is a literary educational platform called STORIED. Check it out here: www.readstoried.com if you like. And the reason we went to the trouble of creating a whole platform in the first place is that there's not a whole lot of reading going on in schools (and probably even less of it happening when school's out). So, being writers, (and readers) we wanted to change that.
The last thing we wanted, though, was to do something about the low reading and test-performance levels in schools by making something boring and bureaucratic. We set out to make reading fun, engaging and relevant to teenagers, and to give them (or you, if you're reading this and you're a teenager) an improved chance of doing better on the P-SAT / ACT and beyond. *And without the stress of cramming.*
So we chose contextual learning as our method: you read stories in which the SAT words appear organically. Listen along to the audio versions of the stories, click on the underlined words if you want, check out the enhanced flashcards, hear the words pronounced (a hundred times if you want; even the intonation of the recordings helps you understand what each word means). After a while, you'll notice that you know more words than before. Test yourself to see if that's actually true. In 2-3 months you'll know all the words you need to know to ace the verbal sections of the test you're taking.
Here are some tech specs for STORIED:
Works on any device with a Web browser (desktop, laptop, netbook, tablet, smartphone, eReader, etc). iOS version (for iPod Touch, iPhone and iPad) is available here. The stories are written by talented young writers and feature clickable SAT-level words, enhanced flash cards, self-testing, illustrations you'll be blown away by (just get a load of some of them here) and audio recorded by professional actors (Broadway, TV, radio—the works). We strive to have something for everyone, so, counting fairy tales, sci-fi, noir and others, as well as satire and urban poetry, we've got the popular genres and vernaculars covered, offering something uniquely familiar to you. Yes, we mean you.
Registered users can keep track of how they are doing on those extra-difficult words—you know, like, say, impecunious or perspicacious—and rate their favorite stories. The catalog of stories is ever-expanding, and new features, such as objective testing, leveling-up and comprehensive performance analytics are coming soon. A middle-school / TOEFL collection of stories is also underway.
OK, OK, since you've read this far—as a reward—here is illustration 2 of 5 by the insanely talented Devon Doss for a 5-chapter noir story, Falcon, The Maltese, coming soon to Collection III at readstoried.com:
If you'd like to see more original illustrations, check out our Facebook page or, better yet, go to STORIED itself (you can even log in instantaneously via the self-same Facebook).

I have Programming Ruby, The Pragmatic Programmers' Guide, Second Edition which covers Ruby 1.8. It has been several years since I have programmed in Ruby, but I'd like to refresh my memory and bring my knowledge current.
With most programming languages, I've found that I can skip books that only concern a single version bump. Yet, Ruby is a young language and I understand there may have been significant changes in 1.9.
Although I already have the second edition, is it worthwhile to buy the third edition for Ruby 1.9? Are the differences that vast, or will it be simple enough to catch up to 1.9 with the online docs?

We benchmark best practices in technology-enabled business initiatives, delivering actionable insights that allow companies to make smart business decisions and match their needs with vendor solutions. Our research methodology relies on ongoing survey responses from tens of thousands of industry practitioners. Our thought leaders include a team of seasoned research analysts as well as outside contributors with subject matter expertise. As the first market research firm to "go open," we also aggregate thought leadership in the form of white papers, case studies and research reports from third-party sources, including solution providers — who, for their part, can create and maintain their own Vendor and Solution Showcases on Gleanster to help further educate the marketplace.
What we do is predicated on five guiding principles: specificity, brevity, clarity, objectivity and openness.
Our research focuses on technology-enabled business initiatives that require specialized solutions, capabilities and resources to successfully execute. When it comes to benchmarking best practices, we strive to go a mile deep.
Today's busy executives have neither the time nor inclination to wade through long, dense research reports in the hope of stumbling upon a few useful nuggets of insight. Our mantra is quality over quantity. Be concise. Cut to the chase. Cut out the fat.
We strive to present research findings in a clear, consistent, contextualized and compelling manner. Call it the 4 Cs. That means no convoluted acronyms to state the obvious. No charts with indecipherable X and Y axis labels. Our charts show the relative importance or usage of different elements in a simple, straightforward and intuitive way. The elements are then discussed reason-by-reason, metric-by-metric and challenge-by-challenge.
Industry pundits often bat around phrases like "pay for play" and "whitepapers for hire" to describe some of the existing business practices in IT market research. The sponsored research model, in particular, which allows vendors to place their logos on the cover of a research report — and, in some cases, influence the content that appears inside — is often perceived to compromise the integrity of the research. At Gleanster, integrity matters. We're committed to a business model that mitigates analyst bias and embraces research objectivity.
Actionable insights can come from any number of sources, not the least of which are industry practitioners with first-hand experience implementing technology-enabled business initiatives. That's why Gleanster uses a survey-based research methodology for identifying best practices. It's also why we aggregate real-world success stories, white papers, and even others' research reports in the Open Resource Library while enabling solution providers to create and maintain their own Vendor and Solution Showcases.
Founded in 2010, Gleanster is backed by two private equity investment partners: Synetro Capital, based in Chicago, Illinois, and 1in10 Ventures, based in the Silicon Valley, California. The company is headquartered in Evanston, Illinois.
As a proud member of the 1% for the Planet alliance, Gleanster is committed to donating at least 1% of annual sales revenue to nonprofit organizations focused on environmental sustainability.

Fueling vessels with LNG reduces emissions, offering an almost 100 percent reduction in particulate matter and sulfur oxides, at least an 80 percent reduction in nitrogen oxide, and about a 20 percent reduction in carbon dioxide.
Washington State Ferries is considering fueling its vessels with LNG and has partnered with DNV, which has experience with LNG-fueled ships and the infrastructure they demand. DNV announced the partnership Feb. 5.
Fueling vessels with LNG reduces emissions, offering an almost 100 percent reduction in particulate matter and sulfur oxides, at least an 80 percent reduction in nitrogen oxide, and about a 20 percent reduction in carbon dioxide, according to the announcement. It says DNV has taken the leading role in making LNG as a fuel safe and viable, with 35 of 37 LNG-fueled vessels in the world having been built to DNV's standards. Sixteen of them are car/passenger ferries.
"As the biggest ferry operator in the U.S. and the third biggest in the world, WSF can really lead the way for its industry. In DNV, we can now clearly see a tipping point when it comes to global interest in LNG fueled ships. Knowing that LNG as a fuel helps reduce emissions and costs, our team of researchers, engineers, and business analysts are looking forward to assist WSF and other companies with managing risks related to their LNG operations," said Kenneth Vareide, director of DNV's maritime operations in North America.
"I am pleased to have DNV aboard to assist Washington State Ferries in this important look at liquefied natural gas a possible fuel for the fleet and look forward to these next steps that WSF will take with DNV," said Washington State Department of Transportation Assistant Secretary David Moseley. "WSF burns more than 17 million gallons of ultra-low sulfur diesel each year, and it's our fastest-growing operating expense. LNG has the potential to significantly reduce emissions and the cost of fuel."
WSF's ferry fleet has 23 vessels, 10 routes, and 20 terminals. They transport 10 million vehicles and more than 22 million people annually.

There was a topic of unisex names started just yesterday. We seriously don't need two going on at the same time.
Here's the one started yesterday: Favorite Unisex Names?** The opinions expressed above are not meant to be reflective of Nameberry as a whole but are my opinion and mine alone. **

I don't mind unisex names. I have a unisex name and I never got teased for having one. Some of these names I do like better for one gender, but only because I know a person or people of that gender with that name.
Avery- Girl
Jamie- Girl
Pat- Girl
Alex- Boy
Anderson- Boy
Casey- Both (I do like it a smidge better for a boy, but I know both and female Casey's)
Aaron/ Erin- Girl (Hehe, obviously because Erin is my name)
Riley- Boy
Cameron- Boy
Dylan- Boy
Taylor- Boy
Drew- Boy
Morgan- Boy (I hated this name for both genders until a friend of mine named her son Morgan. It fit him perfectly)
Spencer- Boy
Sam- Boy (Although I do have a female friend who goes by Sam and it fits her)
Bailey- Boy
Jordan- Adding this name in the list because it is also a unisex name. I like it better for a boy.My name is Erin. I am 21 years old and I have loved baby names since I was 10.
Girl names: Juliette Grace, Amelia Ruby, Felicity Kate (or Wren), Lydia Charlotte, Melody Hope, Stella Evangeline, Elena (?), Katrina Evelyn, Amira (?), Eliza Audrey
Boy names: Jonathan Rhys, Roman Isaiah, Jonah Alexander, Gabriel Jude, Chandler (?), Drew Maxwell, Julian Patrick, Leeland Jack, Phoenix Owen, Griffin Everett

I had the tables turned on me at DrupalCon Portland and got interviewed by Ray Saltini from Blink Reaction. He asked me some great questions about Drupal, and especially why you should come to Drupal community events like DrupalCon.
Acquia Cloud Engineer, Tim Hilliard, and I sat down at Acquia headquarters this spring to talk about ... what else? Drupal and helping people succeed with it.
I find Tim's job interesting. He is part of the client advisory team at Acquia, but isn't specialized in front-line client support. He describes his role as part of the onboarding team for the Acquia Cloud platform, as "support enablement," ... "Enabling Support to do a really stellar job is one of the things that I really love and I focus on."
Kevin Hankens, Acquia Engineer, discovered Drupal 5 when he was looking to build a highly personalized eCommerce visitor experience for his then-employer's website. I was fascinated to hear an origin story of the very beginnings of the sorts of digital experiences everyone is talking about today* (see below), 6 years later.
In our first "video podcast", I recently spoke with prominent PHP developer Michelangelo van Dam (aka @DragonBe) about PHP, its history, current trends toward convergence and compatibility, use in the enterprise, and where Drupal fits in the picture. This conversation is a follow-up to Michelangelo's guest blogpost on Acquia.com: "The power of PHP: The Swiss Army Knife of Digital".
Jeff Beeman, Acquia Professional Services consultant, talks about how far Drupal has come in the last 8 years, what it's like to be on a team of people specialised in joining other teams, and the satisfaction of making Drupal really sing when it counts.
This is the second part of a two-part conversation with Acquia's Chief Marketing Officer Tom Wentworth. In it we discuss Tom's understanding of data-driven marketing, the rise of the "Chief Digital Officer", and choosing a future friendly digital platform for your business.

There is growing debate now over our nation's highest military honor.
After a fallen marine is posthumously denied the medal of honor for the second time.
After falling on a live grenade in Iraq and act that cost him his life.
But likely saved several fellow Marines.
Sargent Rafael.
Peralta was in Fallujah back in 2004 when an insurgent apparently -- -- live grenade in his direction.
A pro Peralta is said to have fallen on the grenade and while he likely saved several lives.
He would not make the trip home alive.
At the time then Defense Secretary Robert Gates determined that Peralta was already brain dead when he fell on that grenade.
And as such.
He decided to award.
Peralta posthumously with the navy cross that's one level down instead of the military's highest award the medal of honor.
And while Defense Secretary Leon Panetta recently agreed with that assessment one lawmaker and former combat marine says he has proof.
At Peralta deserves the highest honor and says he will not stop fighting for him.
Republican congressman Duncan Hunter of California is a member of the house armed services committee and is a former combat marine who served this country.
In Iraq and Afghanistan -- welcome.
I thank you for -- And thank you for your incredible services I read up on your background for -- came on today really impressive and and wonderful wanna I wanna I wanna ask you about.
It's fallen marine because it's so extraordinary to have.
This disparity between the Marines.
And a Navy SEALs who are saying he deserves the medal of honor.
And the Department of Defense brass.
First Robert Gates and now Leon Panetta saying no he doesn't what is what is the essence of the dispute.
-- -- -- -- The biggest dispute is this they say that that the the witnesses who saw this and there were seven Marines in this room -- actually saw him -- this grenade under his body.
Those those Marines give.
Differing testimony in this way -- and for -- say that he political under his chest with his right arm to -- say uses left -- one couldn't say which army used that.
But but that is their reasoning for denying the -- water in this case and there's a a couple of other reasons too it's hard for secretariat of defense to overturn precedent.
Set by the prior secretary of defense -- I think it it gets a little bit political too which is sad.
The the grounds for the medal of honor is it's it's very simple to I would eyewitnesses that's all you need just to.
And in the words of those Marines -- in that room.
And the fact that those Marines whose lives were saved by Rafael Peralta that that -- -- able to testify to this because they're alive now because of what he did.
That's enough for me and and here's the biggest problem too.
It's -- to have bureaucrats in DC doctors.
Whether they're military doctors were not.
Try and trying to make a call and a judgment on a on a combat situation.
People do things that are heroic.
While gravely injured all the time in combat -- -- one of those strange things about combat.
Somebody get shot so many times are still able able to save their friends or -- commit some.
Other active bravery so so that's that's the big dispute we.
Let me seem to be saying that before we get -- that it because it's its offer I see you're saying and mr.
Panetta basically had did almost almost had to defer to mr.
gates is determination but mr.
He went through a lot that he appointed a five member panel led by general George Casey the army chief of staff.
To review reports of the battle because they take this very seriously the medal of honor and as they should.
And he also that panel included medal of honor recipient a retired military neurosurgeon.
And two civilian forensic pathologists.
And based on there unanimous conclusion.
That mr.
Peralta is act action did not meet the standard of quote no margin of doubt or possibility of error.
In terms of deserving this this metal that's why Secretary Gates decided not to award.
That is -- direction you're actually right but none of those gentlemen were in the room.
Facing the combat that Ralston is again in his Marines -- you that's that's where you have a problem here in the would say about Secretary Gates under the Bush Administration.
Not a single medal of honor was given to -- living recipient.
Not a single one you had over 246.
Medals water given in Vietnam only ten have been given.
All posthumously.
Under the Bush Administration.
To living recipients now but only ten since 2001 since nine elevenths.
That's that's kind of the broader picture here Secretary Gates did not see one single action in Iraq or Afghanistan.
That warranted that the medal of -- to a -- a living person.
That's troublesome because we'll tell you from firsthand experience there there -- those acts of bravery and courage.
Were were being committed every single day so -- The Bush Administration again not a single living person got the -- water and and only a few given out posthumously and that that.
Panel that the -- -- -- that was on precedent they've got that has never been done before from the the metal water.
What -- what has always been taken that the Marines or the soldiers on the ground the eyewitnesses that are there and that combat an environment.
Being shot at it in in that crazy loud smoke filled room.
Those are who you look to for their assessment of what happened when you have.
Seven and yeah let me -- I guess I realized I you know that's pretty concludes in I'm not -- -- as I've decided -- science knows what that the Pentagon saying.
But but they say that the autopsy report that was conducted.
On the sergeant said he was already brain dead from friendly fire by the time he was killed by that grenade and -- He he he couldn't have made a conscious decision to smother their grenade because he's -- he darted in mortally wounded in the head.
By that that by the rifle.
Round and so they -- you know without disrespecting the sergeant anyway they say to get that -- You know to really risk your life to save others now I know that there was conflicting there were conflicting points on that because the eyewitnesses were saying.
He what it even after you got hit he reached over he pulled it into his body he tried to protect this fellow Marines.
But if there's any doubt is that the standard if there's some doubt and they don't award.
But but but they created the burden of -- in in this case -- -- -- they actually created it.
The doubt there was no doubt by the Marine Corps but I'm not -- or or anybody else right of the autopsy report.
Can't tell you what a person does under extreme duress.
After being shot in a combat situation and that's that's that's my point that's why this this panel is unprecedented and try to look at an autopsy report.
After that the body is already in.
In the actual ground that's that's not what should look to in these cases you look to the people they were in the room it's almost be because.
Men to do a lot of crazy stuff even after being shot in a combat environment for their buddies in their comrades.
This this happens all the time this is that this is not a strange thing to have somebody who's -- you wounded.
Still the still fight past their last breath because that's what they're doing at that point in time and and that's that's what you you cannot.
Pentagon panel with the actual combat eyewitness accounts -- we have a pro.
And our Marines are Marines who -- to what -- inordinately don't -- them apparently and then there's a new report as you please UN still look for a lot apologist.
Which says that his head -- not a prevented him from taking further action so I know the family's very disappointed nine other Marine Corps recommended the medal of honor the navy agreed.
And now his family has not accepted the navy cross they think he deserves more Doug and I thank you so much for coming out with his story.
Thank you very much.

Living in a Washington D.C. apartment or rental, you might be forgiven for feeling awfully important. This is our country's capital after all. And if it's good enough for the President of the United States, it's got to be good enough for you! Old George Washington himself selected this lovely location along the Potomac River. So what are you waiting for? Grab a Washington D.C. apartment and start strolling between the monuments, motorcades, and other marks of political power.
Congress approved the creation of the District of Columbia in 1790. It was founded the next year, but building a city takes time. By 1871, Washington D.C. had enveloped the city of Alexandria, the port of Georgetown, and other areas under a unified government, not part of any state. When the Civil War broke out, the federal government grew, as did D.C. At that time, even with rampant expansion, the city still relied on dirt roads and lacked basic sanitation. By the end of the 19th century, the city was busy modernizing with municipal projects and motorized streetcars. Today, D.C. is jam packed with all three branches of government, foreign embassies, and a healthy serving of the nation's museums and monuments.
Washington D.C. is split into four quadrants, with the U.S. Capitol building at the center. Addresses will signify whether they're Northwest or Southeast, for example, so you know which direction to start off in. To begin exploring, check out the hot cuisine in Penn Quarter, go dancing in Adams Morgan, or find yourself a rowhouse to rent in Georgetown. Just watch out for traffic, as it can get fierce here.
Politics, naturally, is the main business of Washington D.C. Just under a third of the area's employees report for work with the federal government. That said, there are still plenty of jobs in other industries. Education, finance, public policy, and scientific research are all important sectors of the local economy. Four Fortune 500 companies are based in the District of Columbia-Fannie Mae, Danaher, Pepco Holdings, and the Washington Post.
If you're heading to D.C. in search of an education, you've made a wise choice. American University, George Washington University, Georgetown University, Howard University, the University of the District of Columbia-the list of excellent schools in the capital goes on and on. Plus, if you need to hit the books here, your closest research facility might just be the Library of Congress.
Because so many movers and shakers want to live near the nexus of power, rents in Washington D.C. come in on the high side. If you're looking for an apartment for rent in Washington D.C., expect to pay $2,637 a month on average for a two-bedroom apartment. Vacancy rates are as low in D.C. as rents are high. At the beginning of 2012, they were down to 3.8 percent, the third lowest in the entire country.
Have you heard of the White House? How about the Lincoln Memorial, the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, or Washington National Cathedral? Spin in a circle in Washington D.C. and you'll see a slew of white marble, exquisite architecture, and tributes to all sorts of American heroes. The National Mall is the place to protest, or celebrate, or mark major occasions. Visit the National Archives, the Smithsonian museums and galleries, or the National Gallery of Art.
D.C. fields teams in all four of America's most popular professional sports. You can watch the Washington Wizards, the Capitals, the Nationals, and the Redskins all play here. The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts is in Washington D.C. if you want to attend the ballet, the symphony, or the opera.
Washington D.C. keeps a steady hum of special events going year-round. There's the National Cherry Blossom Festival at the end of March, the Smithsonian Folklife Festival in June, the Library of Congress National Book Festival in September, and the National Tree Lighting ceremony in December. Naturally, there's no better place to celebrate Independence Day than in D.C. You'll also want to keep an eye on the newspapers. Many events here spring up in response to the good and bad happenings around the world.

A picture story of RAGBRAI 2007, the bicycle ride across Iowa that has perhaps 20,000 cyclists participating.
40,000 miles on my LiteSpeed frame since 2003 when I started cycling and when I retired. I direct the Chain Gang bike club--we ride weekly plus some weekend rides and a few special rides such as our planned 'Ride Utah' autumn of 2010. I live in Georgia but have bicycled in all but five states.
