I just completed a six state poker trip. I flew out to Minneapolis and drove west on (what I had planned as) a six day poker road trip to visit poker rooms in North Dakota, Montana, Wyoming, and South Dakota—four of the nine remaining states in which I had never played poker. I'd gone online to read up on what they spread and where they spread it—and frankly, I wasn't terribly encouraged. None of those four states had legal public poker rooms that spread no limit hold'em— and there surely was no stud. So I had planned on a relatively bland diet of low limit and low spread limit hold'em. As it turned out, however, the experience was far from bland. It included what I now consider to be the best place in the world to play poker.
My first port of call was the Dakota Magic Casino in the southeastern corner of North Dakota—about a three hour drive northwest out of Minneapolis.
Dakota Magic is a relatively large circular casino that dominates the small town of Hankinson, ND. They have a hotel and convention center attached to the casino, and an 18 hole golf course nearby. The casino has within it a five-table poker room. The room itself is relatively plain, with standard cushioned chairs, well used (but not ratty) felt, cards, and chips, excellent dealers and a very attentive floor person.
When I was there on a Saturday night, they were spreading three games: $2-10 hold'em, $2-10 dealer's choice (Omaha-8 or hold'em) and $5-20 hold'em with a full kill. They rake 10% up to a $5 maximum with an additional $1 coming out for the bad beat. The room also hosts daily tournaments and occasionally hosts bigger events.
The clientele are almost exclusively regulars and locals. Of the 30 or so folks playing when I was there, maybe two or three were under 50. There were many retirees. My table had a few deeppocketed players as well—including a very successful farmer and the gentlemen who is the owner of the largest goose farm in the Americas.
Curiously, however, I'm finding that no matter how remote the poker room, there are still many players who really know how to play this game. Here I was in this barely populated section of North Dakota—and four of the guys at my table had played in the World Series of Poker—and two of them had cashed!
The game was fun; the players were engaging, friendly, and one was as garrulous as I. A few of them were filled with gamble— making the session highly profitable. It also didn't hurt that I was hit by the deck—starting on my very first hand. When I sat down in the big blind, I was dealt Qd Td. Eight players called me, and I checked my option. The flop was KJ9—giving me the nut straight. I bet the maximum, $20, and was called by three people. An Ace hit on the turn, I bet, got called by two people, and got called again when I bet and was called on the river. Up a couple of hundred dollars in three minutes… Can I play this game, or what?
The night continued with great conversation, good hands, and some loose opponents. I left up a few hundred dollars. I had a delicious steak for dinner, and then, after checking in, quickly fell asleep in a hotel room that was larger and more nicely appointed than I expected—a step above the standard rooms of the chain motels I normally stay in.
All in all, this was a great poker destination—with an excellently run small poker room, affable and affluent opponents, fine dining, and a most comfortable hotel room in which to say. Great poker at the Dakota Magic Casino—who knew?!

Ireland's recent history is a story of hopes dashed. Hope is now being stoked again, not least by those with the most interest in being positive: the Irish government and European lenders.
For Europe, Ireland is the poster child for austerity and must, just must, be recovering. Some positive jobs figures, showing the first growth in employment since 2008 (on which more later) have prompted what passes for elation in the depression-hit island.
European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso led the cheering this week on a visit to Dublin, saying Ireland's economy "is turning the corner".
It shows that the programmes can work. It shows that there can be light at the end of the tunnel.
When there's a determination we can achieve results. This is a message that's valid for Ireland and other countries that are going through reforms.
Of course, he wants to believe this. Europe desperately needs a success story to set against the anti-austerity vote in Italy, yet more gloom in Greece and a worsening economic outlook for the eurozone.
But the bond markets agree, and have done for months. Irish 8-year yields (its benchmark) stand at 3.7 per cent, lower than Spain and Italy. The country has successfully returned to bond markets, and hopes to bring in a 10-year benchmark before the end of June. Even the inconclusive Italian elections prompted only a slight wobble.
So, have the markets become too optimistic? Below is a rather longer than usual read on Ireland and the wider eurozone issues. Read more

Then the partially cooked mixture is spread into the bottom of a 9 X 13 inch baking dish. I used a crockery dish, but glass would work well too.
Low-Sugar Pumpkin and Apple Crumble with Cranberries
(Makes about 8 servings, recipe adapted from Pumpkin and Apple Crumble at Nami Nami.)
1 lb. butternut squash (or pumpkin) cubes (just over 4 cups cut squash cubes)
4 apples, chopped (I used 2 gala apples and 2 granny smith)
2 tsp. butter (or margarine)
1/3 cup Stevia-in-the-Raw Granulated Sweetener (or sweetener of your choice; use sugar if you prefer and don't care about the low-sugar part)
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp. pumpkin pie spice (or use a bit more cinnamon)
1/4 cup dried cranberries (optional, these are relatively high in sugar so leave them out if you want to reduce the sugar)
Crumble Topping Ingredients:
1/4 cup white whole wheat flour (or use regular white flour)
1/4 cup almond meal
1 cup rolled oats (use regular or quick-cooking oatmeal, but not instant or extra-thick)
1/2 cup Stevia-in-the-Raw Granulated Sweetener (or sweetener of your choice)
3-4 T butter (put butter in the freezer when you start the recipe)
While mixture cooks, combine flour, almond meal, oatmeal, and 1/2 cup sweetener in a plastic bowl. Remove butter from freezer and using the large side of a metal grater, grate pieces of butter until you have 3-4 T, as measured by the markings on the side of the butter wrapper. (I used somewhere between 3 and 4 T of butter.) Then use a pastry blender or fork to combine the mixture until the butter is well distributed and the mixture looks crumbly.
Preheat oven to 400F (200C). Pour cooked squash/apple mixture into the bottom of a 9 X 13 inch casserole dish. (I recommend using a crockery or glass casserole dish, if you only have a metal pan, I would spray it with non-stick spray.) Sprinkle the crumble mixture over the top of apple/squash mixture in an even layer. Bake 30 minutes, or until the mixture is slightly bubbling and lightly browned on top. Serve hot. (Of course if you're not dieting this would be great with whipped cream or ice cream on top.)

Quote:10. CREATE A THREATENING PRESENCE: DETERRENCE STRATEGIESThe best way to fight off an aggressor is to keep them from attacking you in the first place. Build up a reputation: You're a little crazy. Fighting you is not worth it. Uncertainty is sometimes better than overt threat: If your opponents are never sure what messing with you will cost, they will not want to find out.
Quote:11. TRADE SPACE FOR TIME: THE NONENGAGEMENT STRATEGYRetreat in the face of a strong enemy is a sign not of weakness but of strength. By resisting the temptation to respond to an aggressor, you buy yourself valuable time - time to recover, to think, to gain perspective. Sometimes you can accomplish most by doing nothing.
Quote:I like the non-engagement tactic. Melt away, beyond Hadrian's Wall, and let the cold work it's magic on Roman feet.(BTW...did they ever find those 'missing' legions? )
Quote:PART IV - OFFENSIVE WARFARE12. LOSE BATTLES BUT WIN THE WAR: GRAND STRATEGYGrand strategy is the art of looking beyond the battle and calculating ahead. It requires that you focus on your ultimate goal and plot to reach it. Let others get caught up in the twists and turns of the battle, relishing their little victories.

BOSS Michael Cuffie reckons it will be like pre-season all over again when Christchurch finally return to action.
Priory have been hit hardest by the relentless bad weather which has wiped out chunks of the non-league programme since Christmas.
The Hurn Bridge outfit have not tasted competitive action since suffering a 3-0 defeat at Winchester City in the Wessex League Premier Division more than eight weeks ago on Saturday, December 14.
Since then, the club has seen some 13 home or away fixtures fall victim to sodden pitches and even the decision to switch their Russell-Cotes Cup quarter-final to opponents Gosport Borough's ground proved fruitless.
And with the rain set to stick around over the next few weeks, the situation could yet worsen for Christchurch, much to their manager's frustration.
"I have known anything like it," said Cuffie. "It is new to me and new to the club.
"It is such a shame because we had changed the system and one or two of the new signings had started to fit in quite well.
"There was a nice atmosphere building in the dressing room and so this has stifled us a little bit. I just hope we can keep that going because we were making real progress.
"Everyone is just itching to get back out there. The one bonus is that all of our players are physically fit with no injury concerns, but match fitness and sharpness might take some time.
"The first game back will be like pre-season all over again because eight weeks is as long as, if not longer than, the summer break.
"When we do play it will be a matter of battling through it and just trying to outscore the opposition."
Cuffie revealed that despite the weather, he had managed to put on training sessions for the squad on a regular basis.
He continued: "I have guys from as far away as Southampton who have been pulling out all the stops to make training.
"Everyone is conscious of the fact they aren't playing and all you can do is ask the players to keep themselves as fit as they can.
"Our hands have been tied. We have trained on most of the Saturdays but it has been difficult to find somewhere not waterlogged at the last minute.
"There are only so many places to go and so much you can do with the players. There is a massive difference between playing and training so it will be a tough test for the lads when we finally get a game on."
Priory's next scheduled fixture is a rearranged league match at home to Fawley on Wednesday.

Alfajores with Quinoa and Coffee Dulce de Leche
Pastry Chef and Fair Trade supporter Malika Ameen created this twist on the traditional Peruvian alfajores cookie in honor of our Mother's Day campaign. The dough recipe begins as a traditional recipe, and then I introduce cooked quinoa for a unique surprise. The little bits of quinoa give a hit of nuttiness to this crumbly confection. If you have time, try gently toasting the quinoa in a little oil or butter until it starts to pop before boiling it – you will love it even more!
Alfajores are typically served with coffee, but with this version, there is a delicious coffee dulce de leche filling. You'll get the whole experience with one bite of this unique treat.
Happy Baking!
Alfajores with Quinoa and Coffee Dulce de Leche
Yield: 2 dozen
For the cookies:
1- 2/3 cup cornstarch
1 -¼ cup all purpose flour
1-teaspoon baking powder

5 ounces unsalted butter (10 tablespoons), at room temperature
1-tablespoon Fair Trade Certified vanilla extract
½ -teaspoon coarse salt
4 egg yolks
½ cup confectioners sugar (optional)
In a small bowl sift together cornstarch, flour, baking powder and cinnamon. In a mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream butter and sugar until fluffy. Scrape sides of bowl, being sure to incorporate everything, and beat again for a few seconds. Add egg yolks one at a time and beat until fully incorporated. Add the vanilla extract and salt and mix. Add the dry ingredients and quinoa and mix on low speed being sure that everything is well incorporated. Transfer dough to a countertop and knead briefly bringing everything together. Divide dough into two equal discs and refrigerate for 1 hour or up to 24 hours. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Working with one piece at a time, roll dough to ¼ inch thickness. Using a 2-inch cookie cutter cut out cookies and transfer to a parchment lined baking sheets. The cookies should be spaced at least 1 inch apart. Reroll scraps and repeat. Bake cookies for 12-14 minutes until just golden. Let cookies cool. Flip half of the cookies and fill with 2 teaspoons of coffee dulce de leche filling. Top with remaining cookies. Sprinkle with powdered sugar before serving.
Coffee dulce de leche filling:
1-cup heavy cream
1-tablespoon ground Fair Trade Certified coffee
½ teaspoon(heaping) coarse salt
¼ cup + 2 tablespoons canned prepared dulce de leche
8 ounces Fair Trade Certified bittersweet chocolate, chopped, or chocolate chips
Place chocolate in a mixing bowl. In a small saucepan whisk together milk and coffee and bring to a boil. Turn off heat, cover and steep for 5 minutes. Whisk in dulce de leche until smooth and bring back to a full boil. Immediately pour mixture through a fine mesh strainer onto the chocolate. Let stand for 1 minute and whisk until smooth. Refrigerate for 1 hour or until firm.

Place the shiitake in a large soup pot and pour the boiling water on top. Cover and simmer until the mushrooms are soft, about 10 minutes. Remove the shiitake with a slotted spoon. Cut off and discard the stems, and slice the caps into slivers. Return the sliced shiitake to the pot. Add the reserved soybean liquid, ginger, and carrot. Bring to a boil, cover, and simmer for 5 minutes. Add the wakame flakes and soybeans and cook uncovered at a gentle boil for 1 more minute.
Meanwhile, ladle about 1/8 cup of the hot soup liquid into a cup or bowl and dissolve the miso in it. Just before serving, turn the heat to low, add the miso, stir and simmer, without boiling for 2 to 3 minutes. Dissolve and add more miso if desired.

Albrecht Durer Magnus artists' watercolour pencils provide artists with great versatility of expression when drawing, shading and painting in watercolours. High-quality materials, combined with over 250 years of experience, have resulted in watercolour pencils that produce unsurpassed watercolour effects and vibrancy. The coloured surface can be transformed with only a few fine or broad brush strokes to reveal the full and unique power of the colours. The soft, intense colour laydown is ideal for drawing over large areas. Depending on the paper being used, the pigments can be completely dissolved, and will then behave in the same way as classic watercolour paints. The paint becomes permanent when dry (does not require fixing), enabling other layers of colour to be superimposed without causing it to dissolve again. Being part of the WWF Global Forest & Trade Network, 95% of all wood used by the Faber-Castell Group is certified in line with the stringent requirements of the FSC. All Faber-Castell products have been certified non-toxic by a board-certified toxicologist and are safe to work with when used as intended. These watercolour pencils have an extra thick 5.3mm lead. There is maximum lightfastness (3***) across all 24 individual colours.

Students, please bring your student ID as it is now required for buy back. Please bring all CD's, DVD's, and Supplemental Materials purchased with your textbooks.
At the end of each semester, the Bookstore conducts Book Buy Back. Book Buy Back is a service to students who elect to use it. It is the Bookstore's opportunity to replenish inventory and the students' opportunity to turn some of their textbooks into cash. Many students take advantage of the Book Buy Back process while others opt to keep their books. This decision is left strictly up to the student.
Although the Bookstore attempts to Buy Back as many textbooks as possible, certain conditions exist that will eliminate a textbook from the Buy Back list. These conditions may include one or more of the following:
The instructor has discontinued use of the textbook for one or more reasons. In this instance, the textbook will no longer be used on campus.
The Bookstore is now overstocked. Due to current inventory levels, the Bookstore does not need to buy a particular textbook back.
The textbook is too ragged and in too poor condition to be re-sold.
The following items are
bought back:
Workbooks and Practice Sets; regardless of condition.
Lab Manuals; regardless of condition.
Study Guides; regardless of condition.
Paperback books other than textbooks. This includes optional textbooks and trade titles.
For those textbooks subject to Book Buy Back, the Bookstore offers one-half of the new price, regardless of whether the textbook was purchased new or used. Those textbooks not being bought back by the Bookstore may have wholesale value. Wholesale value is based upon national demand with the value determined by the wholesaler's representative who is present at the time of Book Buy Back.

WINTER PARK, Fla. – Saint Leo freshman Matheus Assis has been named Sunshine State Conference Men's Swimmer of the Week presented by VALIC, it was announced Monday by SSC Commissioner Jay Jones.
Assis, a freshman from Paraiba, Brazil, tallied three wins despite his team's 130-74 setback at Nova Southeastern. Assis finished first in the 50-yard freestyle with a time of 21.17, the fastest posted by an SSC swimmer so far this season.
He also participated in a pair of winning performances via the 400 medley and 200 freestyle relay teams. The 400 Medley squad posted a time of 3:28.81, while the 200 Freestyle team set a new program record with a mark of 1:24.08. Both of those relay marks rank second among Division II times turned in so far this season.
Through two weeks, men's swimming has earned two conference awards, as well as a National Swimmer of the Week award. Seven Saint Leo student-athletes have been named SSC Player of the Week this fall.
The Lions will resume action Saturday, October 27, when they travel to Winter Park, Fla. to challenge Rollins. The dual is set to begin at 1 p.m. from the Alfond Swimming Pool.

Highlights from Mr. Adnan Oktar's interview on 01 November 2012
Islam will reign across the world. Those who sit and criticize it are wasting their time. Because one moral system will reign in the time of the system of the Mahdi. The moral values of the Qur'an will reign. What will become of Christians? The blessed one will reign over them with the original of the Gospels, and over Jews with the original of the Torah, by Allah's leave. There will be love and affection for all. Buddhists, atheists, communists and everyone will all be treated as first-class citizens. There will be complete democracy and complete freedom. There will be music, too, and painting, and science and art. The bigots ask; "Why do you not talk about the Masons in terms of hatred? Why do you not want them to be killed?" What did our Prophet (saas) do with the pagans of Mecca? Were there no Buddhists at that time? Yes, there were. Were there no Masons? Yes, there were. There were fire-worshipers and everything. He treated Christians, Jews and everyone with love and affection? But what is your mentality? Let us kill and slaughter. But there is always love and affection in the spirit of the system of the Mahdi.
To love is so delightful. A most delightful pleasure. But doubt and suspicion are horrible. They are very troublesome. They are as horrible as hell, may Allah forbid. For example, not to trust a person is most distressing. It is most troubling if someone is a liar, for instance, really repellent. The person has no identity. He has flesh and bone in his face, but there is no person there. You are talking with something else, something like a djinn. It could be anything. A liar is most horrible. At least you should say, "I do not wish to tell you." But what is the point of lying? But an honest person is a wonderful thing. A trustworthy person is lovely. It is excellent to value someone. It is excellent for someone to regard himself as valuable. And that happens through the moral values of the Qur'an, insha'Allah.
(About the damage caused in the USA by Hurricane Sandy )
If people look closely, it is a sign that Jesus the Messiah (pbuh) has come. They pretend not to realize. It is also in the Gospels. Jesus the Messiah (pbuh) says, "Before my coming great signs will begin, you will begin to see major events. Earthquakes will intensify." He says there will be a rise in hurricanes and phenomena like that. "This is a sign of my coming," he says. They may not take an interest, but that makes no difference. Destiny is moving ahead very fast.

Rain & Lightning
Pull date:
Wed, 11/09/2011
Whenever it has rained within 24 hours (even if it is bright & sunny out), please check our website for the latest field status. The FIELD STATUS link is in the left column, under QUICK LINKS on our website's home page. You may also subscribe to receive the field updates via text message to your mobile phone.
Please check before leaving for the fields. A field open in the morning can be closed in the afternoon due to rain, or a wet field closed in the morning may dry out and be opened later in the day. The field report is displayed by the City of Santa Monica. However, the fields may be closed by SM AYSO for other reasons, such as lightning or poor air quality.
Artificial turf fields are rarely closed for rain. If your field is open but you choose to cancel a practice, please notify the region's Scheduler. Other teams may want to utilize your space or City field staff may be diverted to other facilities.
Lightning is often a judgment call on the field. Practice Chaperones should be on the look out for lightning during practices and advise coaches to cancel the practice if they see lightning. On game day, that responsibility falls with the referee. Please keep our kids safe and err on the side of caution. For guidance on Lightning, please refer to the Environmental Hazards section of the "Guidance for Referees & Coaches" manual, which is a downloadable PDF posted under the INFO & FAQ tab - Rules & Guidelines page.
The above announcement is reproduced from the Rain & Lightning Procedures page, under Fields & Safety - Info/FAQ tab.

TIME: Heroes Of The Environment 2009
Oil flares are dotted around the delta area, used to burn off the oils' natural flammable gasses and along
with the oil come the added bonusses of explosions, leaks, and general environmental devastation.
I mixed up a few techniques for the piece, hand painting and airbrushing most of the background for a
dirtier, scummy graffiti feel and rendered Nnimmo in a more rounded, cleaner digital finish. I also wanted to show Nnimmo's

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 11/6/2013 (1534 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
DEAR MISS LONELYHEARTS: I'm kind of in shock. My wife and I went down to open our remote little cabin, and you'll never guess what we found. There was evidence of a man and a woman living there over the winter. We were shocked. They didn't do anything to ruin the cabin, In fact, they improved it and cleaned it, even washing cupboards before they went on their way. Everything is fixed and gleaming. We have way more firewood nicely stacked with a makeshift roof over it. Our closest neighbour said he never saw anything, but he's 15 minutes away by car and doesn't always tell the truth. We don't know whether to be shocked or feel blessed. Were they ghosts or squatters? We didn't lock the doors because we have nothing of value and it could be a lifesaver to someone lost in the bush. I guess they found the door open and felt welcome to come in. We don't know how to feel. Should we start locking the cabin? -- Trusting Souls, Lake Country
Dear Trusting: Your letter makes me smile. Maybe there's a law of the bush, like marine law on the ocean, but I don't know of it. There's no need to feel afraid of these people returning in the warm seasons. You certainly don't owe it to anybody to leave the door unlocked next winter as this is 2013 and they knew they shouldn't be staying the season. This is one of those lovely mysteries of life you and your wife can muse over, if you're the easy-going type. If not, you can call the police. But if you really feel kindly disposed towards sharing your little cabin with these people, you can leave the door open again, and say nothing.
Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: My wife has horrendous long scratchy toenails, which she thinks are funny. She gets a kick out of "accidently" scratching me in bed. I think it's gross and tell her so loudly, but she laughs like a hyena. It completely destroys the mood for love and she couldn't care less. Sometimes I think she's trying to get out of having sex with me, but I'm scared to ask her that for fear of the answer. We don't have a lot else going for us as a couple anymore, as I got a big education and career the last seven years and she's still in the beauty business and not doing much. -- Unhappy Camper, Winnipeg
Dear Camper: It's not about the scratchy toenails, it's about the scratchy relationship. You two need to get into couples counselling and figure this relationship out, before there are any babies on the scene. You look down your nose at your wife over the imbalance in education and sophistication and she knows it. In return, she's showing disrespect for you and a deep-down desire to hurt you with her "silly" toenail attacks. That, plus a lack of interest in sex and intimacy, spells trouble.
Questions or comments? Please email firstname.lastname@example.com or send letters c/o Miss Lonelyhearts, 1355 Mountain Ave. Winnipeg R2X 3B6

The focus of this research brief, by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is to highlight the early findings from a three-year study aimed to examine the overlap between bullying and sexual violence victimization and perpetration in five middle schools in a Midwest state. The first two waves of the study have shown that bullying perpetration and homophobic teasing were significant predictors of sexual harassment perpetration over time.

ANOTHER three people have been arrested over violent clashes between Burnley FC and Sheffield Wednesday fans last month.
Detectives released a gallery of 22 men suspected of storming Burnley Miners Club after the clubs met in the Championship on January 18.
Three men, all from the Burnley area, aged 23, 35 and 50, have been arrested by Lancashire Police on suspicion of violent disorder and bailed pending further inquiries.
Seventeen men, mainly from Burnley and Pendle, aged from 17 to 52, have so far been detained in relation to the violence directed at Sheffield fans in their 50s and 60s who were guests at the Plumbe Street venue.
Detectives have worked closely with Miners staff and the football club as part of their inquiry and anyone recognising any of the remaining men, who are pictured on our website www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk, is asked to contact Det Sgt Steven Acres at Burnley CID on 01282 472083 or on the police non-emergency number 101.

"There is grave uncertainty in the international security environment," said Gen. Raymond T. Odierno, Chief of Staff United States Army, at an address to the House Armed Services Committee on Sept. 18, just hours before the al-Qaida linked Somali terror group al-Shabaab attacked shoppers at an upscale mall in Kenya's capital – targeting non-Muslims – including American expatriates. Sixty-two were killed and 175 were injured – including five American citizens.
While President Barack Obama claims that al-Qaida has been "decimated," the general is aware that there are affiliates in Somalia, Yemen, Nigeria and in Iraq – all posing serious threats to our security. Odierno recognizes that the Army must be prepared to fight these affiliates. The general decried the "magnitude and the speed" of the budgetary reductions and the further diminishing of Army end strength. And in his speech to the House members he cautioned that although we have always drawn down military forces at the close of every war, this time "we are drawing down our Army before the war is over."
Odierno knows the dangerous ramifications of the budget-driven separation of large numbers of high quality combat veterans – the junior officers who bore the majority of the burden of multiple deployments. In 2014, the Army will begin to convene boards to separate up to one-third of the captains from year groups 2007, 2008 and 2009 – many of them were my classmates at West Point. The classes of 2007 to 2009 have lost 11 graduates to the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. They were the best and the brightest. This announcement of a "blind board" review process to remove loyal officers that stayed on active duty past their initial contract dishonors the sense of duty, sacrifice and dedication to country that these leaders shoulder.
Unlike the conventional warfare of the World War II era, the recent Middle East campaigns were fought and led at the junior officer level in the small communities and tribes of Iraq and Afghanistan. These soldiers understand – better than anyone – the challenges of counter insurgency operations. They met these challenges by spending time in the culture – learning strategies "on the job." Many of them shared their "best practices" and taught these tactics to superiors – who are well aware that no one understands the conditions on the ground better than lieutenants and captains. As these aforementioned groups progress into higher leadership positions in the officer ranks, their skill sets and experiences are vital to continued mission readiness.
Last year, Tim Kane, an Air Force Academy graduate, published "Bleeding Talent." He focuses on the country's need to retain officers. Conducting a survey of 250 West Point graduates from the classes of 1989, 1991, 1995, 2000, 2001 and 2004, Kane assessed the current practices of personnel management. Seventy-eight percent of the active duty officers polled stated that the current exit rate of the military's best young officers is harming national security. Expediting this rate through the proposed separation of officers puts the nation at risk.
Kane has proposed a solution for talent loss in which officers who are separated from service would be eligible to apply to rejoin at a lateral or higher rank. In the past, officers turned civilians have been prohibited from doing so in the current rigidity of our Army. The most successful of private sector consulting firms actually encourage this type of practice for their employees – knowing that the experiences, knowledge and relationships gained externally will aid the organization through this "boomerang" effect.
For now though, those who will be returned to civilian life are the same soldiers who have already sacrificed so much of their lives – including the well-being of their families. Many of them sacrificed even more. Having spent much of their young adult lives serving their country, they are now confronted with the ingratitude of an administration that regards them as expendable – and a citizenry still at risk.
Jonathan Hendershott is a 2007 graduate of West Point and a former army captain. He served in Iraq with the 101st Airborne Division in 2009. He now resides in New York City.

The Cable Car
Throughout the United States in the late 19th Century, larger cities such as Washington D.C., Kansas City, and Los Angeles all had large-scale cable car operations similar to that of San Francisco's still being operated today. Chicago boasted having the world's largest. In Boston, two cable car lines had been projected and were on the drawing board. One line was to have traveled through the South End and Robxury along Washington Street. The other would start at Bowdoin Square, proceed down Cambridge Street, across the West Boston Bridge to Main Street, onto Massachusetts Avenue in Cambridge and into Harvard Square.
The West End Company management took into consideration the high costs of cablecar construction, its maintenance, and New England winters, and was somewhat reluctant to commit to the tremendous ongoing expenses cablecar operation required. As a last resort, they journeyed to Richmond, Virginia to study yet another new technology, electrification, recently undertaken by the Union Passenger Railway Company. The rest would become transportation history.

MORE floral tributes have appeared along Sedbergh Road, Kendal, close to where the body of tragic Helena Farrell was found.
Dozens more notes, mementos, flowers and teddies have appeared at the spot, by the Castle Green Hotel, joining the hundreds already laid over the weekend by well-wishers.
The 15-year-old's body was found in woodland behind the hotel at around 10pm on Friday night.
Now the stretch of road close to the hotel has become a place for locals to mourn the popular teen, with tributes from friends and strangers alike.
Tealights and candles were also lit at the site following her death, burning in the shape of a letter 'H' and a heart.
Hundreds of tributes also poured in for Helena online.
A YouTube tribute video featuring photographs of the youngster made by friends has attracted more than 57,000 views.
A special Facebook page set up in her memory has been joined by nearly 3,000 users.
ABOVE: Tribute videos posted on YouTube by Helena's friends.
The moving photographic montage shows the talented teenager with fellow pupils, playing the guitar, relaxing at the beach, larking about in a toy car and enjoying spectacular mountain scenery with friends.
A person posting on YouTube as Mr Endada said of the video: "This beautiful girl is my daughter Helena, and she was the light of my life."
He went on: "My family is totally ripped apart. Thanks to those who made this collage video and to all those who have made such beautiful comments about her and for send kind thoughts to us, her heartbroken family Mum, Dad and brother Declan."
Another post underneath the video read: "A great video about a great girl she was one of a kind, sporty, musical and dramatic. She will be greatly missed RIP Helena."
The video was one of four put together and added to the website.
Heartfelt messages were also posted on Twitter and Facebook, with friend Dan Cafferty saying: "One smile, can start a friendship. One person, can change your life. Rest in peace Helena Farrell. Gone but never ever forgotten."
Chris Brown wrote: "Many memories from primary, and such a nice person! You will never be forgotten and always in our hearts! R.I.P Helena Farrell."
And Edan Carr said: "Helena Farrell that last KFC I had with you was so good! I'm honoured to have spent the day with you! And honestly so proud to call you one of my best friends and I will always have your smile and voice in my head!"
Helena, a pupil at Kirkbie Kendal School, was a member of the Westmorland Youth Orchestra and the Amabile Choir.
She appeared in her school's production of We Will Rock You last year, and was celebrated by the Gazette for achieving a distinction in her grade seven cello and a merit in her grade six singing exams on the same day.
Helena leaves behind parents, Maria and Enda Farrell, and brother, Declan, 14.
Tributes can be left to Helena below.

We've tentatively identified this toad as Bufo xeros, the Subdesert Toad. Our identification was visual and based on written descriptions of the toad's call but, as always, we are happy to be corrected. These toads were numerous and very vocal through the night and in the early morning at Terjit Oasis in the Mauritanian Sahara.

"They're Back!"
The students are back and our newest simulation labs are ready to go! As we are digging into the new semester it's fun to look back at some of the simulation projects we've tackled. This past summer was especially busy with the new labs getting finished, MNA's Crisis Resource Management simulations happening, and Maine Medical's ER residents running through 12 new scenarios created by Dr. Chris Bowe. One simulation in particular created quite a stir on campus.
Here is a link to a news story about that case.
Writing and presenting
We are proud of our Nurse Anesthesia faculty as they have truly taken simulation education to the next level in the past year. UNE's MNA students are getting a 5 to 1 faculty to student training experience in our labs working with the METI HPS simulation system and using state of the art anesthesia equipment. Recently Nina Turcato and Cliff Roberson were published in the August 2008 AANA Journal where they shared their findings about simulation based education for Nurse Anesthetists. Here is the article in full- simulation-based-education-aana-article-une
Cynthia Morris-Associate Professor of Simulation Education-is taking a very interesting course at the Mayo Clinic Multidisciplinary Simulation Center called Instructor Development: Simulation-Based Education Design and Debriefing.
I will be speaking at the annual Society for Simulation in Healthcare meeting this year. As part of the Operations Track I'll address IT needs and focus on streaming audio and video on a gigabit network. Here's the Ops Track Agenda-imsh-ops-track-2009vtd
New labs up and running…
The Nursing Program christened our new simlabs and we all really enjoyed working in our new environment. While we are still awaiting a few smaller installs and the 2 way mirror, the technology is in place and working marvelously. Both SimMan and SimBaby are functioning and the new assessment/skills training/debrief room is a wonderful new addition to our program. Check out the newest pictures!
That's just some of what's happening folks. Tune in next month for the continuing adventures!

ID on the Designer: "But that same empirical data does [not] inform us whether the intelligence that designed the flagellum is Yahweh, Allah, Buddha, Yoda, or some other type of intelligent agency."
From an article in Evolution News & Views:
posted on the Discovery Institute's web site by Casey Luskin Longer paper on the same subject at:
Editorial Comment: We continue to advise people that the Intelligent Design movement, whether the American variety promoted by the Discovery Institute or the English variety named Truth in Science promoted by Professor Andy Mackintosh, is not Christian. Christians should have no reluctance in accepting Romans 1:20 which bluntly states the nature of the Creator is clearly seen in His creation, and understood by all that has been made, so men have no excuse.

"Game changer" is a term you hear often when people talk about how technology has changed their industry.
Confucius taught the future business administrators of China's emperors and ruling elite. As I read his sayings, I realized I was in fact reading a business book. Topics were recognizably modern business topics and certain individuals in his text consistently spoke in particular ways and on particular themes. One sounds like a finance director, another like a marketing director and so on.
It was a short step, then, to adapt the text to the modern business idiom, yet still retain 98 percent of the original Confucian sayings in their English translation.
Say it again, Confucius
"He who is a good manager does not need to make way for the teacher!"
"Clever talk and a domineering manner have little to do with being a good manager."
A seller's sales plan is the company plan divided by the number of salesmen divided by
52 weeks in the year or 13 periods of four weeks.
If a seller doesn't have a sales plan he doesn't know what he is doing. If his manager doesn't know the plan, he can give no guidance.
To plan well, a seller must know the time cycle and type of calls for each category of customer and the number of calls to convert a new order.
The sales plan is the agreement reached between the seller and his manager. It should detail what each requires of the other in support.
Too low sales targets encourage laziness, too high hopelessness. A seller needs a target he can reach and surpass with good effort & reward.
The seller must decide whether to sell big orders or more small orders. His incentive scheme will encourage him to do it the simplest way.
If you have a monthly sales target, achieve it monthly. Don't kid yourself you can take the orders next month.
Philip Lund most recent book, "Keynotes for Compelling Sellers,"is designedto rejuvenate the professional seller after a hard day in the field. Lund's frontline sales experience over 40 years covers a huge market area from office products (Xerox top salesman 1966/67), to engineered products such as truck washing machines, vehicle recovery systems and stainless steel drainage, to financial services and credit cards, to outsourced services and management consultancy.

For years, business schools and professional consultants have turned to Sun Tzu's 2,500-year-old Chinese text for its invaluable commentary on such topics as leadership, strategy, organization, competition and cooperation. Now the wisdom of Sun Tzu's The Art of War is made accessible to the modern audience. Not simply a new translation, this is the first book to provide a clear, easy-to-follow interpretation of the classic document. The Art of War for Executives reveals the brilliance of Sun Tzu - and shows how to win on the battlefield of modern business. The tone and insight of the original classic remain, while incorporating the ideas of contemporary business philosophers like Peters, Drucker and Bennis.

No Brady vs. Manning XVII this postseason. Now it's Brady vs. Luck IV.
Translation: After 16 matchups with Peyton Manning, Tom Brady will face Andrew Luck for the fourth time when the star quarterbacks lead the New England Patriots and Indianapolis Colts on Sunday night.
At stake in this budding rivalry is a spot in Super Bowl XLIX (that's 49) — one year after Manning's Broncos beat Brady's Patriots in last season's AFC championship game.
The steadily rising Luck is more of a puzzle than Manning even though the Patriots are 3-0 against the third-year veteran with every win by more than 20 points.
Still, their lack of experience against him — and his growth as a quarterback — could mean extra time for defenders in the film room and on the practice field getting ready for the strong-armed Luck and the Colts (13-5).
After a bye, the Patriots went to Indianapolis and beat the Colts 42-20 on Nov. 16. Luck threw for 303 yards, two touchdowns and one interception.
Luck was a rookie when he first faced Brady on Nov. 18, 2012. And he played like one in New England's 59-24 win.
He threw three interceptions with two returned for touchdowns covering 87 and 59 yards. He also lost a fumble one play before Brady hit Rob Gronkowski with a 34-yard touchdown pass.
"They're good enough," Luck said after the game. "They don't need those gifts."
In his next game against the Patriots, he threw four interceptions in a 43-22 AFC divisional playoff loss last season, one week before Manning and Denver eliminated New England.
"The NFL is a very competitive league," Brady said Monday during his weekly appearance on WEEI radio. "Peyton is an incredible player. Andrew Luck's a great player. We've got one of the great young quarterbacks coming into our stadium, so we've got to be able to figure out a way to slow those guys down."
The Patriots did that well enough to beat Manning 11 times in Brady's career.
Now they'll try to go 4-0 against Luck.
"It's the National Football League. It's the playoffs," Patricia said. "Every game is very difficult."

Cardinal Roger Mahony, retired archbishop of Los Angeles and longtime advocate of comprehensive immigration reform, is frustrated with the lack of action from Congress on the issue and hopes that today's young people will bring about a change. "They get it. They're the ones who will make this happen," he told a group of Catholic college and university leaders on Jan. 30 in Washington during the three-day conference of the Association of Catholic Colleges and Universities. The cardinal lamented the failed effort to pass the Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors, or Dream Act, in 2010 that would have helped children of undocumented immigrants work toward legal status and get a college education.

I went to the post office the other day. Parked next to a car covered in Rangers stickers. Then the guy came out of the post office, and he had this giant Rangers tattoo on his forearm.
And if I needed reminding about how passionate Rangers fans can be, well, this sure was it (I didn't really need to be reminded).
Fast forward to last night. I met with my sports editor (Rangers fan) and he said that we are going to try to maintain a better presence with the Rangers this season. I don't know what, exactly that means, and neither does he. But we're going to try to be at more games, more practices. We can't travel with the team like the good old days, when the economy was booming and I even flew to the preseason games that the New York papers skipped.
We can't even cover every home game with the staff we have left, and the business in the state it is, and the direction we're trying to go.
But we're going to try to do more.
This place might get a facelift. We're going to do some experimenting with stepping up the Twitter stuff, and maybe Facebook — the only reason we didn't do more of those things in the past was that, well, we weren't with the team enough.
So we'll see. So bear with us. Also, if you know of any potential new Boneheads out there, feel free to recruit them. The more traffic, obviously, the more I'll be able to do for you guys.
So Larry Brooks tweeted that Ruslan Fedotenko, one of Torts' faves from Tampa, is going to get a tryout. I guess it can't hurt … unless he comes to camp, works his tail off just to earn a spot, then levels off and eats minutes that should be going to young players. I don't think the Rangers really need another third-liner, do you? On the other hand, I am of the belief that it does no good to anybody to have top prospects playing third and fourth-line minutes. They're better off playing 20 minutes a night in Hartford.
Thirty-two days until the Opener.
And this is where it starts to get fun, because 32 is one of those magical numbers.
32: Jim Brown, O.J. Simpson, Sandy Koufax, Dr. J., Magic Johnson, the late Elston Howard.
32: Matteau, Matteau, Matteau!

Cancer Genetics
Genetic Testing
Nine members of my father`s family i.e. himself, brothers and sisters have died of cancers all before reaching sixty. These have included mouth, spine, hodgkinsons. My sister died aged 59 of a brain tumor 6 weeks after being diagnosed with cancer all over. Would it be a good idea for me to be tested? Thanks.
Considering the number of cancers in your family, I think a genetics evaluation would be a good idea. At this appointment you will meet with a genetic counselor who will want to get more information about your family including the ages of all your relatives (parents, aunts and uncles, cousins, grandparents and maybe other relatives who have had cancer). You will want to get information on relatives with and without cancer, the ages at which people were diagnosed with cancer and the locations of their cancers, and other information about possible other environmental factors that might increase cancer risk.
The genetic counselor will then discuss whether the pattern of cancers in the family matches any of the known cancer syndromes, and who in the family might be the best person with whom to start testing. This may be another member of your family who has already had cancer. Sometimes there is no genetic testing available, but the genetic counselor will discuss what kind of screening is recommended based on the cancers in the family, or there may be a research study that you can join. While this may not tell you exactly what is causing the cancers in the family, it may improve your chances for early detection.
To locate a genetic counselor in your area you can contact your primary care physician or you can go to the website for the National Society of Genetic Counselors (NSGC.org) and follow the instructions under "Locate a Genetic Counselor."

How The New York Times Perpetuates Falsehood That Obama Is Gutting Medicare
Blog ››› ››› MELODY JOHNSON
A New York Times article failed to report the truth behind Mitt Romney's and Paul Ryan's false claim that President Obama has stolen $716 billion from Medicare.
The Times reported that a Romney ad claimed that "Obama has cut $716 billion from Medicare." While the article included a statement from Obama contesting Romney's charge, it included no attempt to ascertain whether Romney's charge was true or false.
The truth is Obama's Affordable Care Act included hundreds of billions of dollars of Medicare savings, but those savings are actually reductions to future growth in Medicare, not cuts in current spending levels. And those savings do not cut any Medicare benefits.
But none of these facts made it into the Times article:
In recent days, Mr. Romney has been trying to change that political dynamic. The Republicans released a television commercial on Tuesday asserting that the Romney-Ryan Medicare plan was better for older Americans.
"Obama has cut $716 billion from Medicare," the ad says. "Why? To pay for Obamacare. So now the money you paid for your guaranteed health care is going to a massive new government program that's not for you."
Mr. Ryan sounded similar themes, campaigning Wednesday in Oxford, Ohio, on the campus of his alma mater, Miami University.
"Look at your paycheck," Mr. Ryan told an enthusiastic crowd of more than 1,000, including much of the current membership of his former fraternity. "Look at the line that shows your payroll taxes. They are supposed to go to two programs, Social Security and Medicare, period. Now because of President Obama they're also going to pay for Obamacare."
"It's not right, he knows it, he can't defend it," Mr. Ryan said.
Mr. Obama was quick to make the case on Wednesday that the spending reductions would not reduce any benefits. "This is something I've got to point out here, because they're just throwing stuff against the wall to see what sticks," Mr. Obama said derisively, before going into his own claim that the Republican proposal would leave Americans 65 and over with only the voucher option. Actually, the newest iteration of Mr. Ryan's plan would offer the choice of staying in the traditional program or getting a subsidy to buy private insurance.
By contrast, the Associated Press and Los Angeles Times both informed their readers that the Romney-Ryan claims are completely untrue.
The AP article reported that Obama's Medicare savings "were not directly aimed at Medicare's 48 million beneficiaries," but instead lowered the reimbursements that Medicare will pay to hospitals, insurers and others. The AP article also noted that Obama's savings extends the life of Medicare, while Romney's promise to repeal the savings "would move the program's insolvency eight years closer."
And the AP reported that outside experts say that Romney's promise to repeal the Medicare savings "could force deeper cuts, and sooner" to Medicare.
The Los Angeles Times also correctly noted that "Obama's $716 billion in cuts in the projected growth of Medicare have no direct effect on the benefits that patients receive."

FrameMaker and WORD: Convert Graphics via Smart Paste
You can easily import a Word document into unstructured FrameMaker format by simply opening the Word file in FrameMaker. One shortcoming is that the graphics embedded in Word will come over as embedded graphics in FrameMaker; this makes your files larger and you cannot edit the graphics. The Smart Paste command in structured FrameMaker may be used to swiftly convert selected Word graphics into referenced graphics. In this brief video, Adobe Product Evangelist, Maxwell Hoffmann (@maxwellhoffmann) shows you the simple steps to accomplish this. You are actually just using a temporary DITA Topic files as a placeholder to allow the file conversion to take place via smart paste. Try it; it's easy!

Russell Crowe Gossip
Russell Crowe gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
Motivation with Ryan and Russell
AKM-GSI/ Splash
Ryan Gosling cracked a smile yesterday on the set of The Nice Guys in Atlanta. He's shooting the movie with Russell Crowe, seen here earlier in the week, looking as he always does – no nonsense. I've interviewed Crowe and he was lovely – at least to me – but I was terrified. Full Story
Darren Aronofsky's Biblical epic
I know it's a real movie. We have trailers—proof!—that it's a real movie. But the idea of Darren Aronofsky making a movie about Noah and the Ark seems like a parody. Like a fake movie from an SNL bit, like the Wes Anderson horror movie Full Story
George wants to be friends with Leo but not Russell Crowe
Donato Sardella/ Getty
George Clooney called out Leonardo DiCaprio in ESQUIRE for having bullsh-t friends. Click here for a refresher from yesterday. His publicist wants to clarify now however that George wasn't commenting on Leo's posse. Rather, it was just about basketball. Full Story
Russell & Danielle together again?
GoldenEye / London Entertainment/ Splash
Russell Crowe and wife Danielle Spencer were said to be estranged. There were all kinds of rumours about her hooking up with dancing people and him hooking up with Billy Joel's ex and Samantha Barks and even Dita Von Teese. He denied everything and insisted that his work schedule was taking him away from his family. Full Story
Rebel Wilson's slippers and Russell Crowe
If you weren't able to read Sarah's excellent piece on why she's not feeling Melissa McCarthy earlier this week - because our site has been a dick, sorry -- click here. Sarah notes the difference between McCarthy and Rebel Wilson: "fat girl go boom" isn't Wilson's fallback. Full Story
Russell Crowe says this is not happening
M. Tagala/ Splash
Russell Crowe, 48, keeps tweeting at his Les Miserables co-star Samantha Barks not Banks, 22. And they work out together. So an Australian magazine ran with the story that they're together now. But he tweeted at her that they're not. @SamanthaBarks Full Story
Nicole, Keith, and Russell
Grey Wasp/ Blue Wasp/ Splash
I love these pictures. Nicole Kidman arrived in Sydney today with daughters Sunday and Faith. Evidently she was on the same flight as Russell Crowe as they exited the airport together, each carrying one of the girls, and if you didn't know about gossip and celebrities, you'd think they were the parents, only Keith Urban was there to meet them and, well, you can see that happy reunion below.

When Hugh sings with Russell
Splash, Michael Carpenter/WENN
Russell Crowe has been performing with Alan Doyle in New York on the weekends and on Saturday night they were at Joe's Pub and this time Hugh Jackman was in the house so Russell asked him up on stage for The Confrontation and ...I actually might like this version better than the one in the movie. Full Story
Les Miserables: an underdog?
LEON NEAL/ Stuart Wilson/ Getty
The new issue of The Hollywood Reporter features Les Miserables -- its film history, the journey of this particular iteration under the direction of Tom Hooper, the production, and the cast. The story that's told, at least at the beginning of the article, Nate Silver reference notwithstanding, is that this was always a risk. Full Story
Everybody sings!
Duana left early this morning for a meeting and then I rushed off to the airport to come to New York so... We didn't get to watch this new Les Miserables trailer together holding hands! We didn't get to watch this new Les Miserables trailer together and cry! This time they all sing. Full Story
Les Miserables on Election Night
Two new tv spots were released yesterday for Les Miserables, my favourite movie of the year. I already know it will be. I know I will love it. There is no way I won't love it. The clips were broadcast across several networks during election coverage. Anyway, obviously, I cried during both. Full Story

Got this strange issue too ... gonna switch to KDE and see if it works thanks for the tip! driving me nuts!
Beginner so please have mercy.
When BT5 was released I immediately switched from BT4R2-KDE-VM-32 to BT5-GNOME-VM-32.
Happy with my choice I was until I wanted to learn wireless pentesting.
I bought myself an Alfa awus036h and can not get it working with either of the two mentioned above with ifconfig wlan0 up.
I get this error: SIOCSIFFLAGS: Unknown error 132
Searched it up and found alot having problems with this. It seems to be a VMware issue.
Following all the guides I could come across:
rfkill block all
rfkill unblock all
rmmod rtl8187
modprobe etc. etc. etc. and so on.
Same error.
But thought I would give it a go on the BT5-KDE-VM-32. And Voilá! Smooth as silk.
Dont even have to run the ifconfig wlan0 up, its up and running. =)
Now, all my work is on the GNOME and I can easily move it over, but it would be nice if anybody has any clue on whats going on..?
Btw, I also have a DLINK-DWA-160 and it works smooth with all three.
Please, any advice would be much appreciated.
Got this strange issue too ... gonna switch to KDE and see if it works thanks for the tip! driving me nuts!

HOUSTON - A major appliances store's employee has been accused of inappropriately touching an autistic boy inside the store.
Harris County sheriff's deputies said the incident happened in May at a Conn's on the North Freeway.
Court documents show a 15-year-old autistic boy went to the electronics and appliances chain with his family to buy a refrigerator.
While at the store the boy, who sources said has the mental capacity of a 6 year-old, asked his dad's permission to use the restroom.
The boy was using the restroom inside the store when employee Martin Maule walked in, stood beside him, then touched him inappropriately, investigators said.
According to deputies, Maule threatened the boy and told him not to tell anyone.
Records show the victim told detectives he didn't initially tell his family about what happened because he was too scared. But a day later the child told his parents, who in turn called deputies, investigators said.
Sources said detectives tried to interview Maule for three months, but he kept canceling. They said he denied any wrongdoing and denied even being at work that day.
According to court documents, cameras from inside the store allegedly show him going into the restroom just seconds after the boy.
Maule, who is being held on a $31,000 bond, has been officially charged with indecency with a child.
If convicted, he faces up to 10 years in prison.

Inas Fathy's transformation into a secret agent for the rebels began weeks before the first shots were fired in the Libyan uprising that erupted in February 2011. Inspired by the revolution in neighboring Tunisia, she clandestinely distributed anti-Qaddafi leaflets in Souq al-Juma, a working-class neighborhood of Tripoli. Then her resistance to the regime escalated. "I wanted to see that dog, Qaddafi, go down in defeat."
From This Story
Related Content
A 26-year-old freelance computer engineer, Fathy took heart from the missiles that fell almost daily on Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi's strongholds in Tripoli beginning March 19. Army barracks, TV stations, communications towers and Qaddafi's residential compound were pulverized by NATO bombs. Her house soon became a collection point for the Libyan version of meals-ready-to-eat, cooked by neighborhood women for fighters in both the western mountains and the city of Misrata. Kitchens across the neighborhood were requisitioned to prepare a nutritious provision, made from barley flour and vegetables, that could withstand high temperatures without spoiling. "You just add water and oil and eat it," Fathy told me. "We made about 6,000 pounds of it."
Fathy's house, located atop a hill, was surrounded by public buildings that Qaddafi's forces often used. She took photographs from her roof and persuaded a friend who worked for an information-technology company to provide detailed maps of the area; on those maps, Fathy indicated buildings where she had observed concentrations of military vehicles, weapons depots and troops. She dispatched the maps by courier to rebels based in Tunisia.
On a sultry July evening, the first night of Ramadan, Qaddafi's security forces came for her. They had been watching her, it turned out, for months. "This is the one who was on the roof," one of them said, before dragging her into a car. The abductors shoved her into a dingy basement at the home of a military intelligence officer, where they scrolled through the numbers and messages on her cellphone. Her tormentors slapped and punched her, and threatened to rape her. "How many rats are working with you?" demanded the boss, who, like Fathy, was a member of the Warfalla tribe, Libya's largest. He seemed to regard the fact that she was working against Qaddafi as a personal affront.
The men then pulled out a tape recorder and played back her voice. "They had recorded one of my calls, when I was telling a friend that Seif al-Islam [one of Qaddafi's sons] was in the neighborhood," recalls Fathy. "They had eavesdropped, and now they made me listen to it." One of them handed her a bowl of gruel. "This," he informed her, "will be your last meal."
The bloody eight-month campaign to overthrow Qaddafi was predominantly a men's war. But there was a vital second front, one dominated by Libya's women. Denied a role as combatants, women did everything but fight—and in a few instances, they even did that. They raised money for munitions and smuggled bullets past checkpoints. They tended injured fighters in makeshift hospitals. They spied on government troops and relayed their movements by code to the rebels. "The war could not have been won without women's support," Fatima Ghandour, a radio talk-show host, told me as we sat in the bare-bones studio of Radio Libya, one of dozens of independent media outlets that have arisen since Qaddafi's downfall.
Ironically, it was Qaddafi who first implanted a martial spirit in Libyan women. The dictator surrounded himself with a retinue of female bodyguards and, in 1978, ordered girls 15 years and older to undergo military training. Qaddafi dispatched male instructors to female-only high schools to teach young women how to drill, shoot and assemble weapons. The edict resulted in a major change in a highly traditional society in which schools were sex-segregated and in which the only option for women who aspired to a profession had been to enroll at a single-sex teaching college.
The mandated military training "broke the taboo [against mixing sexes]," says Amel Jerary, a Libyan who attended college in the United States and serves as the spokeswoman for the National Transitional Council, the government body that will rule Libya until elections for a Parliament are scheduled to take place in mid-2012. "Girls were suddenly allowed to go to university. There were male instructors anyway in high school, so [parents figured], 'Why not?'" Since then, Libyan gender roles have become less stratified, and women enjoy greater rights, at least on paper, than many of their counterparts in the Muslim world. Divorced women often retain custody of their children and ownership of their home, car and other assets; women have freedom to travel alone, and they dominate enrollment in medical and law schools.
Even so, until the war broke out, women generally were forced to keep a low profile. Married women who pursued careers were frowned upon. And Qaddafi's own predatory nature kept the ambitions of some in check. Amel Jerary had aspired to a political career during the Qaddafi years. But the risks, she says, were too great. "I just could not get involved in the government, because of the sexual corruption. The higher up you got, the more exposed you were to [Qaddafi], and the greater the fear." According to Asma Gargoum, who worked as director of foreign sales for a ceramic tile company near Misrata before the war, "If Qaddafi and his people saw a woman he liked, they might kidnap her, so we tried to stay in the shadows."
Now, having been denied a political voice in Libya's conservative, male-dominated society, the female veterans are determined to leverage their wartime activism and sacrifices into greater clout. They're forming private aid agencies, agitating for a role in the country's nascent political system and voicing demands in the newly liberated press. "Women want what is due to them," says Radio Libya's Ghandour.

SANFORD, Fla. - Family members and friends of two drowned boaters have launched a campaign to save lives by encouraging the use of life jackets.
Investigators said Jason Cobb and Charlie Jackson drowned in Lake Jesup in late Decemeber, after vanishing during a fishing trip. It's still unclear how the men ended up in the water.
Hundreds packed into The Barn in Sanford Friday night for a fundraiser to help the families pay for the men's funerals this week. Nearly $20,000 worth of raffle and silent auction items were donated to help the two families.
"My family walked in today and we were just overwhelmed with how many people donated to help us thru this hard time," said Amanda Goodwin, Cobb's sister.
For many of the people who came to the fundraiser, their friends' deaths sent a strong message about boating safety. In fact, the families took the pair's initials and came came up with the slogan "Jackets Can Continue Journeys."
Family and friends spent about a week searching the water, until authorities found their bodies and said the two men drowned. Even though friends said the pair spent most of their free time on the water, their two life jackets were found inside their boat.
"If they would have had them on, not guaranteed they would have been alive, but we wouldn't have been out searching for a week trying to find them," said Goodwin.
Their families hope to save lives with a simple message. They're reaching out to boaters and encouraging the use of inflatable life jackets that are less bulky than traditional life jackets, and inflate on contact with water.
Regardless the style of jacket, their message is to wear one.
"You have to have a life jacket per person in a boat and most people don't even wear them," said Goodwin. "If you're in the water, wear a life jacket."

TWO mums whose lives were 'turned upside down' when their daughters contracted meningitis B are hoping the government will agree to fund routine vaccinations against the disease.
Health secretary Jeremy Hunt is set to make a decision in the next few weeks, having received a petition carrying more than 36,000 names.
Blackburn mum Toni Burford, whose daughter Danielle was killed by the disease in 2009, collected 750 of those names on behalf of the Meningitis Now charity.
The 38-year-old, from Mill Hill, said: "It was the anniversary (of Danielle's death) on March 4 and we are just waiting for the decison on the vaccine now. But we're really hopeful that he'll give thego-ahead.
They are concerned about the money side of it but we think it's better all round if they can prevent children getting meningitis B in the first place, rather than having to treat people once they've got it, as often it's too late."
The campaign for the vaccine has also been supported by Laura Bell, from Burnley, whose daughter Jessica-Fay nearly died in 2007.
The St John's Primary School pupil was struck down with the deadly bug aged just 15 months.
And she had to have a life-saving blood transfusion in intensive care carried out at Pendlebury Children's Hospital in Manchester.
Laura, 26, said: "I know what it's like to have your life turned upside down by this disease and I don't want it to happen to anyone else.
"This vaccine could save two children's lives every week and that's why I am supporting Meningitis Now.
"And I am urging the government to save lives and bring in the vaccine now."
The UK has one of the highest meningitis B incidence rates in the world, affecting an average of 1,870 people each year over the last 10 years, most of whom were babies and children.
Meningitis Now has been campaigning to bing in the B vaccine since January last year and has the support of 134 MPs, including Jack Straw.
The charity's founder, Steve Dayman, said: "We are sending a clear message to the government – put babies and children's lives before cost and make the decision to introduce the meningitis B vaccine now."

Topic: A Novel Fundraiser for CC
Believers in the Beyond Written by CC Members
This will be a book with true stories of Member's loved ones who have passed but make visits home. There are many Believers today and I felt it was a good way to Memorialize our loved ones with all proceeds going to the CC Foundation for research, and if this takes off a very good way for PR.
We need a title and a formal Intro-any one, and I will keep tract of all suggestions. Any suggestions to help us are greatly appreciated.
Each Member will have their own Chapter. Start with a 40 line (no longer) Intro but as many pages you need for your Chapter. Example below. Your Intro will be followed by your stories of visits. IF you are a CC patient and feel things have happened to guide you we will also take your guidance stories. I do feel we should not talk too much of what our loved one went through but concentrate on the fact they have not left us. I know my stories are very light/almost funny on some.
Please email your Chapter to me and I know this will take some time which is good so we accumulate more stories. I am looking at perhaps March to put it together.
So far I have the following for sure: Andie (UK), Darla (WIS), Me, Mary Lloyd, Clare (Scotland), Kris J., Pamela K.,
Members I hope to hear from: Jennifer (Calgary), Gerardo (Ginger), Pam Cherbourg, Julia (UK), Lanny, Alla, Jee Young, Desiree . I know
there are more out there and I shall find you!!
In Memory of Salvatore D. Sardina In our hearts forever.
Teddy and I met at a Night Club for older Singles (he was 61 and I was 54). He asked me to dance and soon another man I was dating walked in so one dance is all we had. His Sister came up to me and said, "My brother thinks you're so cute, would you dance with him again?" I explained that I had started dating someone but thanked her. I dated the other man for 7 months and Teddy dated another woman for about the same length of time. We both broke our relationships and 4 months later re met in August, got engaged Christmas Eve and married in July! He was a short Sicilian and I was a short Jewish gal and it was 16 years of a glorious and amazing honeymoon! My daughter called us the wedding cake toppers! I always describe Teddy as a man's man and a woman's gentleman. Sadly, in our 11th year of marriage he was diagnosed with Cholangiocarcinoma (Bile Duct Cancer) a very rare monster of a Cancer. Teddy fought the best fight he could for 5 years having survived an aborted Whipple surgery, a double e coli infection, then the real deal Whipple plus the return of the Cancer twice. After radiation and Cyber Knife there was nothing more that could be done and he passed on December 6, 2010. When I feel down I say to myself, "shame on you, you had for 16 years what most people never have in a lifetime". That is the little trick but the biggest trick is that I am a Believer in the Beyond and keep a log of all Teddy's 'winks' and in 3 years have 94 visits. When I read my log I feel so much comfort as it reminds me that Teddy, as he promised, is watching over me. The following winks are some I have been gifted and I hope in reading them, you will come to love Teddy as much as I do and will see that believing brings a mountain of comfort.
