MacArthur seemed to rule Japan like a Tokugawa-era shogun, but in fact Washington had decided upon basic occupation policies beforehand. Moreover, SCAP worked through existing parliamentary institutions and the bureaucracy. General Order Number One assigned the task of demobilizing the armed forces to the Japanese themselves, which they completed in two months. As in Germany, trials punished war criminals, but more significant was the purge of 200,000 military, government, and business leaders who had supported the war. Under SCAP's pressure, the Japanese government abolished the Ministries of War, Navy, and Home Affairs. But MacArthur and his staff were not about to let the Japanese determine the nature and scope of subsequent reform. Japanese leaders prepared a draft providing for modest revisions in the Meiji constitution, for example, but U.S. officials instantly rejected it, formulating a new document and permitting only cursory changes. Effective in May 1947, it swept away all vestiges of elitism, militarism, and authoritarianism.
Five areas of reform would bring fundamental and permanent changes in Japan's economic, political, and social system. First, in October 1946, SCAP forced the Diet (the legislature) to pass a plan for sweeping land redistribution that sought to eliminate large landowners and foster the emergence of yeoman farmers who would be the "bulwark of democracy." Under its provisions, 2.3 million landowners were forced to sell their land to the government at undervalued prices, often for the equivalent of a carton of cigarettes. By 1950, about 4.75 million tenants had bought roughly 5 million acres of land on generous credit terms and at very low prices. Huge demand for food and raw materials in postwar Japan, especially after the Korean War began in June 1950, resulted in rising prices that spurred production, creating an independent, prosperous, and conservative farmer class.
A second thrust of reform established labor unions, again to encourage democratic tendencies. The Trade Union Law of December 1945 made staging strikes legal and mandated joint collective bargaining. Two years later, another law set minimum standards for working hours, safety provisions, and accident compensation. Japanese unions were a startling success. By 1948, there were 6.5 million members comprising about half the workforce. Labor leaders acted with increasing assertiveness to control occupation policies that contributed to a growing pattern of violence and acts of sabotage when U.S. officials would not cooperate. Beginning in 1948, SCAP, in cooperation with Japanese leaders, took strong steps to limit labor's power, gaining passage of a new law aimed at restraining the unions and implementing a new purge of communist leaders.
Third, the United States wanted to eliminate the zaibatsu (financial cliques), believing that Japanese megafirms in banking, shipping, international trade, and heavy industry had been willing partners with the military in leading Japan to war. SCAP implemented reforms requiring the sale of zaibatsu stock and the dissolution of holding companies, expecting that a more equitable division of wealth and economic power would foster democratization. Freezing the assets of zaibatsu families, SCAP purged family members and top executives from management with prohibitions against resuming work with the same firms. Fears of economic stagnation and growing complaints from U.S. business and financial leaders about alleged socialist schemes caused SCAP to abandon plans to break up remaining monopolistic companies.
Education was the fourth area of reform, with the objective of encouraging individualism and creating a genuinely egalitarian society. SCAP abolished educational practices aimed at molding students into willing servants of the state, especially the teaching of morals and history courses that indoctrinated youths to embrace extreme nationalism. Many old-guard teachers were purged after SCAP investigated prewar activities. Militarist propaganda as well as references to Shintoism disappeared from new textbooks in an effort to foster democracy and civil rights. No longer were students confined to prewar channels of vocational, normal, technical, or university training. Insufficient teachers and funds limited the reach of wider educational opportunities, however.
Finally, a new constitution assigned sovereignty to the people, while the emperor became the symbol of the state. Citizens at least twenty years of age had the right to vote for members of the Diet without regard to gender, income, or social status. Primary power resided in the lower house, which controlled the budget and ratified treaties. It could override the decisions of the upper House of Councilors. The lower house elected a prime minister, who named cabinet members. The cabinet selected and voters confirmed justices of a supreme court with the power to determine the constitutionality of legislation and name judges to sit on lower courts. Thirty-one articles guaranteed an assortment of "fundamental human rights," among them respect as individuals, freedom of thought, education, sexual equality, and "minimum standards of wholesome and cultural living."
Some reforms were abandoned after the U.S. occupation ended in May 1952, but the Japanese constitution survived without major alterations despite periodic conservative attempts at revision. Those on the Left and the Right acknowledged especially the benefits of Article 9 outlawing war, despite disagreement on how to interpret it. But SCAP's reforms delayed economic recovery. Widespread destitution forced the United States to provide more than $2 billion in food, fuel, and medicine to prevent mass starvation and disease. The termination of war reparations payments in 1949 and the Dodge Plan brought economic stabilization before recovery turned into prosperity in response to the Korean War. During that conflict, the Cold War partnership between the United States and Japan became concrete in 1951 with the Japanese Peace Treaty and the United States–Japan Security Treaty.

England host Brazil at Wembley tonight with the visitors having smashed in 22 goals and conceded just three in their last six games as Luiz Felipe Scholari's men go in search of the form that will land them a sixth World Cup crown on home soil in 2014.
Roy Hodgson has already confirmed that Ashley Cole will play, and in the process pick up his 100th international cap for the Three Lions, but Jermain Defoe and Daniel Sturridge have been ruled out up front through injury.
Hodgson has also said the Manchester United trio of Wayne Rooney, Tom Cleverly and Danny Welbeck will be used sparingly.
That could leave the hosts vulnerable against the likes of Neymar and the recently recalled Ronaldinho, who's audacious free-kick nearly ten years ago in the World Cup quarter-final between the sides knocked England out and still gives David Seaman nightmares to this day.
Only one of the last 14 friendlies between the two sides featured over 2.5 goals and England have only ever beaten Brazil three times in 23 meetings.
England have won just one of their last four games and that was against minnows San Marino.
Despite apparently impressive recent stats, Brazil have only had to play the likes of China, Iraq and Japan in their latest fixtures and have drawn (1-1 with Colombia) and lost 2-1 (Argentina) in their last two games.

This is a Phase II, randomized, open-label, multi-center study evaluating the efficacy and safety of lapatinib in combination with chemotherapy versus trastuzumab in combination with chemotherapy in women with HER2-positive and p95HER2-positive metastatic breast cancer (MBC). Eligible subjects will have newly diagnosed metastatic breast cancer (Stage IV) either as a primary diagnosis or as a recurrence following treatment of curative intent; not have received systemic or local treatment for MBC and have breast cancer that is positive for HER2 and p95HER2. The primary objective is to compare progression-free survival (PFS) of lapatinib plus chemotherapy versus trastuzumab plus chemotherapy as first-line treatment in subjects with MBC exhibiting concurrent HER2 overexpression (and/or gene amplification) and expression of carboxy-terminal fragments of HER2 (p95HER2). The secondary objectives are to evaluate overall survival, overall response rate, clinical benefit response rate and the safety as well as tolerability of lapatinib plus chemotherapy and trastuzumab plus chemotherapy.

It may be too early for some, but I like to plan and give myself time to think through all options.
I am trying to finalize plans for next year's (2015) early season rifle deer hunt that I am planning to do with my hunting buddy. I currently have narrowed my choices to units 36, 48 (48, 481, 56, 561), and 43 based on conversations I have had with game warden's, biologists, and others who have hunted these areas.
I don't have any experience in any of these units so I was hoping to put a feeler out and see if anyone from here that has been in these units (hunting or other reasons) felt like talking about these areas. Please feel free to post or PM me as I would love to hear about the area, what to expect in these areas, what your experience was, quality of deer you saw, other hunter or hiker impacts, and a bunch of other possible questions.

David Sorenson's book begins with the three major positions of the textual debate. With simplicity and clarity he explains the differences among the King James only position, the Critical Text position, and the Received Text position. From the very beginning he shows the distinction between the "King James Only" perspective and those who use the King James based on its textural reliability and the doctrine of preservation.
Sorenson then continues to explain the two streams of biblical text outlining the history of the Critical Text and the Received Text. He walks through the origin stories of these differing texts explaining that the Critical Text comes from the Alexandrian set of manuscripts originally found in Sinai and the Vatican, as opposed to the text that had come from Greece and had been traditionally received throughout Christianity for thousands of years; the Byzantine Manuscripts.
As Sorenson explains the history of both the Critical Text and the Received Text, it becomes very clear which one is more authoritative, pure, and doctrinally sound—the Received Text. Sorenson concludes his argument by convincing those with fundamental tendencies that since the core value of fundamentalism is separation from ungodly lifestyles, sins, and practices, we should separate from this ungodly text. He explains why the Critical Text is ungodly as he explains the history of the text, those who supported the text, and those who use the text. For Sorenson, the text issue is an issue of separation.
3 Great Strengths
This book has many strengths. First of all, the research was evident and exemplary. I was thankful to see each footnote and the extensive bibliography found in the back. Although this can be a very emotional issue, Sorenson approaches it in a rational, logical, and scriptural way, as he very clearly explains the position of the Received Text.
I also thought one of the great strengths of the book was the connection between the biblical doctrine of separation and the textual issue. The obvious acceptance of the Critical Text by liberal theologians, by apostate churches, and more recently, by the New Evangelical Movement should very clearly illustrate a problem with that text to those of fundamental doctrine .
The third great strength that I found is the focus on the text from which the King James Version was translated, not only the translation itself. There are so many times as a young minister that people will ask me why we are "King James only." And so many times I feel as if I am grouped in with those who clearly believe something different about the text than I do.
Personal Help
This book has allowed me the opportunity of understanding more clearly that it is the text that is the issue. One of the greatest practical uses of this book was at the end when the writer expresses the problems in the New American Standard Version, the New International Version, and the New King James Version. He demonstrates by showing the verses that have been changed, deleted, or completely omitted from the text and how each and every one of these directly change the doctrinal purity of the text.
This book helped me in my ministry in that now I have a book that can be read simply, yet has been thoroughly researched that I can give to any Christian in my church. They will not become confused over the issue, but enlightened and at the same time be reinforced in the doctrine of separation. I highly recommend this book.

K's Citrus Land box was waiting for us when we arrived home. I love getting these little boxes in the mail for him filled with an assortment of things.
This month he received:
Charley Harper ABC's book by Ammo Books is beautifully drawn. There was even a picture on the inside of the box to color thanks to Ammo Books.
City Planner Blocks from Hape toys I am sure K will love to toss these and maybe one day use them to build but for now it is not within his abilities but Citrus Lane goes by their birth date and I did not think of making his match his actual abilities.
Playful Wash form Episencial. The Shampoo and Body Cleanser smell of oranges. Cannot wait to smell the little man after his next bath!!
Super Toddler Bar in Mixed Berry Crunch from Happy Family, I guess M will be getting a snack tomorrow in her backpack.
The Mommy Treat this month is Julep Nail Color in Gabrielle. The polish is a purple color. May end up being one of the girls as purple is not a color I usually would use.

- Mean Diurnal IOP Change From Baseline at Month 3 [ Time Frame: Baseline (Day 1), Month 3 ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Mean Diurnal IOP Change from Baseline at Month 3 (ie, the subject IOP change from baseline averaged over the 9 AM and + 2 h time points at Month 3) was measured by Goldmann applanation tonometry. The study drug was instilled approximately 15 minutes after conducting the 9AM IOP measurement. One eye from each subject was chosen as the study eye, and only data for the study eye were used for the efficacy analysis. A higher IOP can be a greater risk factor for developing glaucoma or glaucoma progression (leading to optic nerve damage).

Google Chrome v32 - Pages Unresponsive
When using Todoist in the last couple of days, I have consistently found that Chrome is issuing a popup after a few seconds on opening the Windows desktop application (ie default browswer - Chrome) that the Todoist page is unresponsive. This gives me the option to "Kill pages" or "Wait".
If I hit wait, it ultimately pops up again. And killing the pages obviously doesn't help usability.
I believe I am able to ignore this and keep using it, but it is getting annoying.
For future reference, is there an option to change the browser that Todoist uses for the Windows desktop application?
All responses
Hi Adriaan,
The desktop app currently (though will change) uses IE to connect to Todoist, so it should not be dealing with Chrome at all.
So clarify, your at Todoist.com and it becomes unresponsive, and you get the Kill or Wait message, or that message pops up on some other website, because you tried to open the desktop app?
I suggest clearing the cache for Chrome, as with your other issue, there may be something going on with your installation of Chrome. Let me know if anything gets resolved after doing so.
OK - I now realise what I had done. This also relates to my other thread (http://todoist.com/Support/showQuestion/8736/) in respect to Chrome.
I had previously used Google Chromes ability to create an application shortcut for the Todoist page (Menu > Tools > Create app...) and had this on my taskbar. I mistook this for the Todoist Windows application - my bad.
I have gotten rid of my Chrome application shortcut and now using the Windows app - and it behaves as expected.

ORLEANS CO. - Ah, spring! Time for robins, green grass, warmer weather and - mud.
The severity of mud season this year seems to be dependent on where you go. Some motorists are finding themselves up to their hubs in mud and needing tows while others are making the pass with ease.
"We certainly have our share of muddy back roads this season, that's for sure," said Charleston Selectman Dean Bennett. However, he wouldn'tgo so far as to say it's any worse than previous years. "It just came a little earlier."
DERBY – Approximately 100 people turned out for the Public Service Board (PSB) hearing on the proposed Derby Line Wind Farm, held Monday evening at the Derby Elementary School.
Comments were mixed between those who support the project and those who oppose it. But opponents dominated the time and provided much of the testimony. The comment period lasted more than two hours.
Encore Redevelopment of Burlington is seeking two Certificates of Public good from the PSB to build a 400-plus-foot turbine on Grandview Farm and another one at Smugglers Hill Farm.
ALBANY - Fire destroyed a building on Pitkin Road in Albany Saturday night.
The Albany Fire Department responded to a mobile home fire and found the structure fully engulfed. They were unable to save any portion of the building, which was primarily used for storage and wasn't occupied.
No one was at the property at the time of the fire and no injuries were reported.
Later, investigators determined the fire was intentionally set and it as been ruled an arson.
NEWPORT CITY – Nicholas Woodard, 21, of Coventry, has been charged with sexual assault following a sexual encounter with a woman in the bathroom of a local bar. The woman, who was described by one witness as being about 50 years of age and whose name was withheld by police, told police that she had been raped by a man named "Chris" at Griff's Pub and that the rape had been video taped by other people in the bar.
Woodard pleaded not guilty to the charge; Judge Robert Bent held Woodard on $25,000 bail Tuesday.
ST. JOHNSBURY, VT - Police are not confirming that the body of a woman found near the Comerford Dam Road in Barnet belongs to that of missing St. Johnsbury Academy physics teacher and basketball coach Melissa Jenkins until a positive identification can be made. In the meantime, the body has been sent to Burlington for an autopsy.
Although police are calling the death suspicious, they are releasing very few details, Major Ed Ledo said yesterday evening.
NEWPORT, VT - The "Art Post: Positive Images of Support by Our Vermont Art Students," has opened at the MAC Center for the Arts, Newport, with almost 1,500 postcards created by students in the North Country School District.
LYNDON – Sorry Kermit, but it's easy to be green.Â
Forty-five exhibitors proved that fact at the NEK Energy Expo held at Lyndon State College Saturday. The Northeastern Vermont Development Association sponsored the fourth annual event. Exhibits included hybrid and electric cars, biomass burn trailers, a solar contractor and everything else that's environmentally friendly.Â
Renewable energy and energy conservation is very important. As Lorna Higgs, project manager for NVDA pointed out, fuel oil prices continue to rise and most energy experts believe that will continue.Â
NEWPORT – The Green Mountain Farm to School (GMFS) program is taking to the roads this summer with a mobile unit allowing for easy access to locally grown, affordable foods.
This project comes through support from Senator Bernie Sanders and the USDA Farmers' Market Promotion Program.
In October, Sanders announced two grants totaling $165,555 for the Green Mountain Farm Direct and the Northeast Organic Farming Association to expand access to locally-produced food for Vermont seniors, low-income families and others.

The 25-20, 25-17, 25-18 victory was the third straight by NSU in conference play and the eighth overall in nine matches. It improves the Lady Demons' record to 11-5 overall and 3-1 in Southland Conference play while MSU drops to 3-12, 0-4.
Northwestern will play Southland preseason favorites Central Arkansas and Oral Roberts at home in Prather Coliseum next week, beginning Thursday at 7 against UCA.
The Lady Demons needed only 1:19 to post their sweep of the Cowgirls.
"I thought we passed really well today," said Lady Demon co-head coach Hugh Hernesman. "Our serve receive was very good, which allowed us to run a lot of options.
"If you look at how our middles scored, Vanessa hitting .500 and Glynna hitting .700, those are very good numbers. When we can pass well enough to get them the ball it gives our outsides a lot of good looks."
O'Connell had her third double-figure kill performance of the week with a match-high 11. DiFrancesco was second on the team with 10 kills and also recorded nine digs.
Mackenzie Neely added nine kills, two service aces and four blocks.
Emily Sweet led everyone in the match with 37 assists.
Defensively, Keelie Arneson dug up 10 balls while also tacking on five assists and three aces.
A kill by O'Connell gave the Lady Demons a 1-0 lead to start the match. An NSU service error allowed McNeese to take control for a few points. DiFrancesco batted down a kill at the 3-1 mark and sparked a 6-0 run for the Lady Demons.
The Cowgirls were able to trim their deficit to two after a 5-0 run put the score at 15-13.
Northwestern State fought back and was able to maintain momentum through the rest of the game, winning 25-20.
The Lady Demons dominated in the second set, trailing only once at the 1-0 mark. A series of MSU attack errors gave NSU an early 4-1 lead.
McNeese attempted regain the lead, coming within one at 9-8, but could not manage as Northwestern State answered with a 4-0 run.
A 5-0 streak near the end of the set all but sealed the deal for NSU as the score read 22-14. The Lady Demons took the set 25-17.
The Cowgirls kept it close early in the third set with three ties and two lead changes before the five points mark.
NSU pulled away with a 10-3 run, resulting in a 16-8 Lady Demon lead.
McNeese was not able to make a comeback and Northwestern State won the set 25-18.
"We have two very strong opponents next week with Central Arkansas and Oral Roberts," said Hernesman. "We are excited to be back in our gym, where the crowd was great at our last two home matches so we are hoping for that to continue."
After next Thursday's home match against UCA, the Lady Demons play host to Oral Roberts on Saturday afternoon.

Frank Bridge
Frank Bridge (26 February 1879 – 10 January 1941) was an English composer, violist and conductor.
Bridge was born in Brighton and studied at the Royal College of Music in London from 1899 to 1903 under Charles Villiers Stanford and others. He played the viola in a number of string quartets, most notably the English String Quartet (along with Marjorie Hayward), and conducted, sometimes deputising for Henry Wood, before devoting himself to composition, receiving the patronage of Elizabeth Sprague Coolidge.
Bridge had strong pacifist convictions, and he was deeply disturbed by the First World War, after which his compositions, beginning in 1921–24 with the Piano Sonata, were marked by a radical change in musical language (Payne, Hindmarsh, and Foreman 2001).[clarification needed] In 1915 he wrote his Lament (for Catherine, aged 9 "Lusitania" 1915), for string orchestra, as a memorial to the sinking of the RMS Lusitania (Cerabona 2014). The piece was premiered by the New Queen's Hall Orchestra, conducted by the composer, on 15 September, at the 1915 Proms, as part of a programme of "Popular Italian music", the rest of which was conducted by Henry Wood (Anon. 1915; Anon. 2014).
Bridge was frustrated that his later works were largely ignored while his earlier "Edwardian" works continued to receive attention (Hindmarsh 1980).
Bridge is mostly remembered for privately tutoring Benjamin Britten, who later championed his teacher's music and paid homage to him in the Variations on a Theme of Frank Bridge (1937), based on a theme from the second of Bridge's Three Idylls for String Quartet (1906). Britten was Bridge's only composition pupil (Template:Hatnb,[page needed]); nonetheless, Britten spoke very highly of his teaching, saying famously in 1963 that he still felt he "hadn't come up to the technical standards" that Bridge had set him (Mitchell 1991,[page needed]). When Britten left for the United States with Peter Pears in 1939, Bridge handed Britten his Giussani viola and wished him 'bon voyage and bon retour'; Bridge died in 1941 without ever seeing Britten again (Kildea 2013, 149).
Among Bridge's works are the orchestral suite The Sea (1910–11), Oration (1930) for cello and orchestra (recorded in 1976 by Julian Lloyd Webber) and the opera The Christmas Rose (premiered 1932), but he is perhaps most highly regarded today for his chamber music.[citation needed] His early works are in a late-Romantic idiom, but later pieces such as the Third (1926) and Fourth (1937) String Quartets are harmonically advanced and very distinctive, showing the influence of the Second Viennese School (Payne, Hindmarsh, and Foreman 2001). His works also show harmonic influences by Maurice Ravel[citation needed] and, distantly, Alexander Scriabin (Payne, Foreman, and Bishop 1976, 32). One of his most characteristic harmonies is the Bridge chord,[citation needed] for instance C minor and D major sounding at the same time, very poignant in There Is a Willow Grows Aslant a Brook and the Piano Sonata (1921–24). He wrote this work to the memory of Ernest Farrar.
Other frequently performed works are the Adagio in E for organ, Rosemary for piano, and the masterful Cello Sonata in D minor (1913–17). The Scherzetto for cello and piano was rediscovered in the library of London's Royal College of Music by the cellist Julian Lloyd Webber.[citation needed]
Although not an organist himself, and not personally associated with music of the English Church, his short pieces for organ have been among the most-performed of all his output (Hindmarsh 1980).

Hart could be the hero of a romantic novel, but on the other hand, it's short, straightforward, and strong sounding. The most famous bearer of the name was tragic poet Hart (born Harold) Crane, but it also has musical cred via Lorenz Hart, of the classic Rodgers & Hart songwriting duo and a literary tie to playwright Moss Hart.
Hart would make an interesting middle name choice--with heart.

Appearances can be deceptive, as these spy pictures prove. At first glance they appear to show a long-wheelbase Range Rover Evoque - a car that could quite feasibly slot into the gap between the Evoque and the new Range Rover Sport - but what you're actually looking at is a mule for the next Freelander, due in 2015.
The first giveaway is the strange lump near where the fuel filler cap should be - a telltale sign that the car underneath doesn't quite fit the body on top.
The second is the front end, where the shape and size of the grille and two lower air intakes don't match up with the Evoque's nose.
Both the Freelander and the Evoque use the same scalable steel platform, hence why this stretched version of the Evoque is perfect to disguise a Freelander prototype.
Land Rover is about to enter a phase of unprecedented expansion to cash in on the booming SUV market worldwide. So, for the next Freelander rather than just one model there will be three - a spacious five-seater (pictured here), an even longer wheelbase seven-seater and a baby Freelander, which will be the same size as the Evoque.
But it's not just the Freelander range that's set to grow, as Land Rover wants to introduce around 16 separate models over the next eight years. This includes three Range Rover models, three Evoques, two Discoverys and as many as five versions of the new Defender, which is due in 2015.
As far as I can judge in view of its camoflage it looks well balanced and street impressive!
Will be great on the Sloan Street, Kö in Dusseldorf, Champs in Paris or Promenade des Anglais in Nice!
There it will certainly impress and be a certain cut above the other run of the mill cars the not so lucky drive!
Certainly a one up on the Cayennes and Mercedes SUVs which are nothing special to either look at or long term drive!
Well done guys at Rover Jaguar! You are doing a great job
I think the disguise means that it will not look like this, i.e. a longer Evoque, so not sure it's possible to tell whether it's a balanced design yet...
I hope it doesnt look like this, otherwise it might just as well be a LWB Evoque. Besides it's a Land Rover and therefore it needs to look like one, not a trinket Range Rover at twice the price.
Surely the model shown above is not a new Freelander but the Range Rover Evoque XL? Freelander badged as Land Rover looking near identical to Evoque badged as Range Rover. Come on AE - that doesn't make sense!
A roomy Evoque?
The Range Rover Evoque influence is obvious. That's not a bad thing to be honest. Minus the slanted roof-line and Ms Becham influenced interior its not bad looking for a genuine off-roader.
I saw this yesterday near Nottingham on the M1 it is very low and long for a freelancer so maybe an évoque xl is possibly hidden here

Managing reverse lookup zones
Updated: January 21, 2005
Applies To: Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2003 R2, Windows Server 2003 with SP1, Windows Server 2003 with SP2
Managing reverse lookup zones
When adding reverse lookup zones, you can simplify the process of adding pointer (PTR) resource records to these zones by:
Using the Update associated pointer (PTR) record option when manually adding host (A) resource records to forward lookup zones.
Deploying DHCP servers and enabling DHCP-DNS integration features to help manage and update reverse lookup zones for legacy clients.
Installing Windows XP as the standard operating system in your organization for deploying new client hardware.
With Windows XP on your client computers, either the client or its Windows Server 2003 DHCP server can be enabled to perform pointer (PTR) resource record registration for the client when its IP address is obtained and configured.
Subnetted reverse lookup zones
Default subnet masks (which have either a value of 0 or 255 used in each of the four octets of the masked value) are assumed by the DNS when configuring a new reverse lookup zone. If necessary, you can use custom subnetting to adjust the subnet mask value to a nondefault length.
Subnetted reverse lookup zones are supported when using the Advanced view setting available through Microsoft Management Console (MMC) and the DNS. This allows you to add and configure a reverse lookup for an IP network address that uses nondefault subnet mask lengths, such as 255.255.248.0, which has a nondefault subnet value of 248 in the third octet.
For more information, see Using the Windows Deployment and Resource Kits.
Subnetted reverse lookup zones are further described in RFC 2317, "Classless IN-ADDR.ARPA delegation." For more information on RFCs or how to obtain them, see TCP/IP RFCs.
PTR resource records created automatically when adding an A resource record to a zone will be deleted automatically if the corresponding A resource record is deleted.

I am glad that the TSA is doing their job. However, I don't think this woman is strong enough to really hijack a plane with her walker and I still really feel the TSA needs to be focusing on people with strong hands.

Trimble Navigation Limited has reported that net income attributable to the company for the fourth quarter of 2012 was $33.19 million, or $0.26 per diluted share, compared to $29.4 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2011. For the first quarter of 2013, the company expects revenue between $575 million and $580 million with GAAP EPS of $0.41 to $0.43 and non-GAAP earnings per share of $0.74 to $0.76.
Total revenues for the fourth quarter of 2012 were $515.52 million, compared to $435.17 million for the fourth quarter of 2011.Net income attributable to the company for fiscal 2012 was $191.06 million, or $1.49 per diluted share, compared to $150.75 million, or $1.20 per diluted share, for fiscal 2011.Total revenues for fiscal 2012 were $2.04 billion, compared to $1.64 billion for fiscal 2011."Our quarterly results were consistent with our expectations in an environment that remains volatile. In the US we saw a clear improvement in commercial and residential construction markets which was offset by a general tendency late in the year to defer investment decisions pending better clarity on the outcome of government budget actions," said Steven Berglund, Trimble's president and CEO. "Conditions in Europe remained difficult while most other regions continued to be comparatively healthy. Our outlook for 2013 remains that of healthy growth although it is conditioned upon the state of volatility in the US and Europe."

At first, it was seen as a "delusional" idea for development • The critics never relented, and the man at the helm of the project, Brig. Gen. Dr. Danny Gold wasn't sure if he would get funding • At last, thanks to his daring spirit and tenacity, and to an A-list team, all the critics are now eating their words.
"Brig. Gen. (res.) Dr. Danny Gold went against Defense Ministry directive 20.02 when he decided in August 2005 to develop the anti-missile defense system Iron Dome, to set a timetable for this development and ordered a 'telescopic acceleration' of the project … [these steps], which are not under the authority of the Administration for the Development of Weapons and Technological Infrastructure but rather, were, in this instance, under the authority of the IDF chief of general staff, the defense minister and the government of Israel." This excerpt was written by former State Comptroller Micha Lindenstrauss in a report he submitted in 2009.
This comptroller's report sparked an avalanche of negative responses in the media, the most memorable of which was an angry analysis that ran in Haaretz under the headline "Iron Dome: a foreseeable failure."
The article featured the following paragraph: "in fact, the entire inception of Iron Dome was done in sin, because one cog in the Administration for the Development of Weapons and Technological Infrastructure, Brig. Gen. Dr. Danny Gold, took it upon himself to assume the responsibilities of the IDF chief of staff, the defense minister and the government of the State of Israel, before the project was approved in the proper channels. In other words, desk job Gold decided on his own with complete disregard for the IDF chief of staff, the defense minister and the entire government."
With the hindsight we have today, in light of Iron Dome's resounding success during the recent Operation Pillar of Defense, these words read almost like a call for a commendation. And indeed, two months ago, the long-awaited and well deserved gratitude finally arrived when the team of Iron Dome developers, headed by Danny Gold, won the Israel Defense Prize.
The success of Iron Dome can be attributed to a long list of individuals, but it is precisely the harsh criticism that was hurled at him that singles out Danny Gold as someone who deserves the title of "the man who gave us Iron Dome." He thought up the idea and initiated the project that ultimately yielded this victorious and sophisticated defense system.
Obviously he was not alone, and there is a large group of engineers and developers and security officials and employees of the Israel Air Force and the IDF, who are equally worthy of the glory. Each one contributed his or her best to the successful completion of the project.
And we mustn't forget the political echelon — especially former Defense Minister Amir Peretz who pushed for the approval of the project against the grain in the defense establishment. But Gold was singled out by the state comptroller and by the media as the "culprit" in the inception of the project, and precisely for that reason he deserves public recognition today.
Q: Dr. Gold, is that what you did? Did you assume the authority of the IDF chief of staff, the defense minister and the prime minister?
"No. I had a disagreement with the state comptroller on that point. He didn't agree with my opinion, but to this day I believe that I did the right thing. It is true that I didn't wait for all the bureaucratic processes that would have taken years, but I did exactly what I should have done within my authority as the head of research and development. That means that I started working."
Q: Was it this shortcut that enabled you to complete the development of the system and to make it operational by 2010?
"I don't think it was a shortcut, it was a bringing together of basic research and development and the start of full development — that was my disagreement with the comptroller. Combining all the developments and ideas into a finished product — that was essential, and it certainly shortened the time frame."
In fact, this is the Archimedean point that can be used to explain how Gold had the nerve to order the development of the system ostensibly before the project was approved by the proper authorities.
In the development process there are two stages that are relevant to our discussion: research and development and development and implementation. In the first stage all the different aspects of the system are formulated, mainly theoretically, and based on the result, assuming that it is satisfactory to the client (the Defense Ministry in this case), the product can be physically developed and ultimately manufactured.
Gold said, not in so many worlds, that development is development and thus justified unifying the two stages into one. In other words, he simultaneously initiated both the theoretical and the practical stages, which allowed him to save a lot of time. "It is a gray area," Gold says today. "I couldn't convince the comptroller, but we treated his criticism with the utmost respect. He was doing his job."
Q: Aren't you angry at those people who tried to sabotage the project? Those who tried to trip you up?
"I am completely not angry. It only made the process more challenging and more interesting. People worked on the development like mad men, truly day and night, and the comptrollers and critics, like the pair of old guys in the Muppet Show, sat on the sidelines and criticized. It never really bothered us."
Like running 15 start-up companies
Brig. Gen. (res.) Gold is 51 years old, married with two children and has a double Ph.D. in electrical engineering and business. He has served in a wide array of positions in electronics, armament, electronic warfare and more in both the Israel Air Force and the Administration for the Development of Weapons and Technological Infrastructure. Among other jobs, he was a senior project head in the Defense Ministry before he was appointed head of research and development.
In 2004, then-Deputy Chief of Staff Dan Halutz established an inter-corps team to examine the handling of high trajectory weapons, in all respects. Gold was appointed to head that team. "I saw the gaps," he says. "That is when I had the idea of intercepting missiles. It was completely delusional back then, and I didn't expect to get any funding for the development, but I decided, we will build an interceptor, no matter what."
Within the Administration for the Development of Weapons and Technological Infrastructure, Gold assembled an inter-corps team of experts from every discipline who approached the various defense industries looking for ideas for a missile interception system. That was in 2005. "We came up with 24 ideas, and we rejected all of them," he says. "In our estimation, none of them would have worked in the long run. Among the rejected ideas were laser systems and rapid-fire guns that were later used as arguments against the administration's decision to develop Iron Dome."
And that is how Iron Dome was born: "We assembled a combination that was based on experience and cumulative know-how behind Rafael missile technology," Gold explains, referring to Rafael Advanced Defense Systems Ltd. "In one meeting, the entire team decided what kind of performance was required, what the costs would be, the ranges, the salvos, everything in one meeting. Then we approached Rafael and asked them to be the primary manufacturer of the system. We suggested the Israel Aerospace Industries as a secondary manufacturer for the radar system and another company, which was little known at the time, called mPrest, to build the controls and to provide data analysis. And we were on our way."
Q: Where did you get funding for the project?
"We had a general development budget which was earmarked for many projects, and I took a serious chunk out of that and used it to jump-start the development. Rafael, to their credit, matched the sum. I assured them that within a year or two I would get the big money for them, and in the meantime we could develop the technology.
"Meanwhile, we prepared an alternative funding plan, with the help of civilian investors. These were investors we had successfully cooperated with on other projects. We didn't reveal what the product was. We only told them 'put a few tens of millions of dollars aside. If we need the money, we will contact you.' In the end we didn't need to use their money. In 2007 we finally got the main development budget, and only after many arguments between the defense minister and the defense establishment. The official development contract with Rafael was signed, and the contract included two full batteries and an impressive amount of interception missiles. The system was a go. When we reached the manufacturing stage, we got funding from the U.S.
"The development parameters and the characteristics of the system were irregular in every way. The time frame was set at three years — a fifth of the customary time frame in such complex weaponry, which is usually estimated at 15 years; the costs were a tenth of the customary sum required for the development of similar systems; the performance was in any type of weather, in the face a range of projectiles, a variety of ranges, elimination of the threat in the air, ability to handle a multi-projectile salvo and regional, not pinpoint, protection."
These were extravagant goals, but the administration didn't stop there. "We added more and more demands, because the threats were advancing," Gold says. "It was like running 15 serious start-up companies at the same time, all of which have to work in harmony with one another and be successful in record time."
The team that spearheaded this project was extremely small — three or four people and a lieutenant colonel. "We worked in a way that was contrary to all the project management textbooks," Gold smiles. "Everything was irregular. What was especially irregular was that we didn't compromise in selecting our engineers. We picked the best in the entire country, without a second thought. We had 70-year-old missile experts working alongside 25-year-old engineers fresh out of college, working shoulder to shoulder without any hierarchy. The one who is right is the one who decides."
Q: Is that the secret to Iron Dome's success?
"When you're dealing with the best of the best, there is no limit to what you can achieve. This is a groundbreaking product: you can call it cellular protection. It protects civilians. It creates a protected area and anything that tries to infiltrate that area is destroyed.
Q: In your mind, what are Iron Dome's main advantages?
"Alongside the unique contribution to saving human lives and the fact that it only intercepts projectiles headed for a defined protected area, it also gives the political and defense establishments the freedom to plan tactical and strategic maneuvers. It gives the IDF breathing room in its offensives, as the civilians are protected by a safety net. It is much easier when there aren't any casualties on the homefront. The system also saves the cost of economic damage both by preventing physical destruction and by preventing the economy from being paralyzed. For Israel, this is the first line of defense against the main threat we face — the missile threat."
Intercepting the criticism
The criticism against the Iron Dome system, heard even today despite its proven successes during Operation Pillar of Defense, revolve around the question of why alternative technologies were not considered, like the laser-based system (Nautilus, Sky-Guard) or the rapid-fire gun (Vulcan Phalanx).
Among other things, it was argued that the cost of a laser beam is far lower than that of a Tamir missile, which the Iron Dome system fires to intercept incoming projectiles ($2,000 dollars vs. more than $50,000). The laser is more readily available and there is no fear that the system will run out of ammunition. Furthermore, a laser is not limited by range, and more.
Dr. Gold explains that "we studied all these systems, and we rejected all of them. It wasn't just my team, it was also the Yaakov Nagel committee which was appointed by Shmuel Keren, the director of the Administration for the Development of Weapons and Technological Infrastructure, to re-examine our decisions. The committee reached the same conclusions, that Iron Dome was the best solution."
"On the laser issue, even though we are involved in quite a few projects involving lasers, like defense systems for passenger planes, we are also currently developing a very powerful laser, but the world, and we, are not there yet. We will be ready to begin full development in seven or eight years. And even then, it will always be Iron Dome's little brother. Whatever Iron Dome tells the laser to do, it will do. They can potentially work together, but the dome is in the lead. There is also a matter of quantity: 13-15 Iron Dome batteries can provide protection to the entire country, and if you use a laser you need far more batteries."
"Specifically, the Nautilus, which was initiated by President Shimon Peres in collaboration with the Americans, is a technology demonstrator. The Nautilus system demonstrated the capability of intercepting shells and mortars with less than 100% success, and the system is huge, like a soccer field. After the demonstration, the development of the system was halted, in the U.S. too. We also looked at the Sky-Guard (also laser-based) system. It wasn't a good fit for us, neither in terms of performance nor of cost."
"Laser systems have several inherent problems that make them ideal as complementary systems, but not as primary defense. For example: a laser cannot penetrate clouds, so it is rendered ineffective in wintery weather. The laser can't handle rapid salvos, and it provides pinpoint protection — it can't protect a wide area."
Q: You never had any doubts?
"No. I never had any doubts. Ever since 2004, the need burned in me. And if the drive was so powerful, I knew that there was no possibility that we would fail. As early as the first test runs, the Iron Dome system already intercepted all the missiles fired at it.
Q: Have you visited one of the batteries during an active operation?
"No. I haven't visited. I didn't want to get in the way."
