COLUMBUS, Ga. John Turner has been immersed in the whitewater project over fifteen years. Turner is an executive with the W.C. Bradley Company in Columbus and is the chairman of the River Restoration Committee.
Turner is quick to deflect credit for the whitewater concept. He says the original idea was brought up in the 70's by local outdoorsman Neal Wickham and his sidekick Joe Smith. Turner says, "They were the first to really recognize that hidden behind these dams had to be some pretty powerful rapids."
In the late 1990's Rick McLaughlin visited Columbus. He was one of the designers of the Olympic whitewater course on the Ocoee River in Tennessee. He and fellow designer John Anderson were impressed with what they saw here.
Turner recalls they were standing on the Columbus Riverwalk overlooking the Chattahoochee River and turned to each other and said, "The Olympics should have been here."
Turner says the duo recognized the whitewater potential locked behind the Eagle and Phenix and City Mills dams. They also loved the fact that the river flows between two cities with all the amenities needed to host a world class event. Adds Turner, "They were also the first to help us understand that these dams had really served their purpose."
In light of what McLaughlin and Anderson had to say, Turner says, "As a community I'm not sure we ever really had a choice but to do this project."
It's been just over a year since the Eagle and Phenix dam was breached, giving folks in our area their first glimpse of the whitewater to come. The results have not been disappointing for Turner. "Some of the experts have come and experienced these rapids since the dam was blown and have used words like…you can't go anywhere south of West Virginia and experience this kind of whitewater."
The wave shaper that was embedded in the river to create a continuous wave has not been a disappointment either. Turner says, "We felt like we wouldn't live up to the promise of the project if we didn't have one truly reliable and spectacular feature…the kind of place where you could host a world championship of kayaking."
Folks with the whitewater project have wondered whether a surfer would be able to navigate the continuous wave. Several weeks ago someone did just that!

TAMPA — Bucs WR/KR Micheal Spurlock on Wednesday was named the NFC's special teams player of the week, but the honor barely made a ripple at One Buc Place.
"We had the big knock on us for not returning (a kickoff for a touchdown)," coach Raheem Morris said. "Now I think we have three in the last (three years). It's almost becoming like we expect it now."
That's because the return game has been, arguably, the only phase in which the Bucs have excelled. In two of their three wins, they have scored on special teams.
That despite injuries taking a major toll.
Spurlock, whose 77-yard punt return with 2:25 left against the Saints tied the score, joins Clifton Smith (83-yard kickoff return in Week 9) and Sammie Stroughter (97-yard kickoff return for a score in Week 6) — both lost for the season — in winning the special teams honor. The Bucs are the first club to have three returners honored in the same season.
"I told them (Wednesday) morning … 'Different faces, same results,' " Morris said.
That speaks to a culture in which special teams are emphasized and to the consistency of coordinator Rich Bisaccia, now in his eighth season (but reportedly soon to be heading to the University of Tennessee).
Special teams are something even starters have been willing to participate in. LB Geno Hayes blocked a punt against Green Bay, allowing CB Ronde Barber to scoop up the ball and score.
"I know our guys like it," Morris said. "I know we probably have the only 34-year old (playing special teams). I know Ronde likes to go out there. I know we have the only left tackle (Donald Penn) rushing field goals; the starting left guard (Jeremy Zuttah), the starting right tackle (Jeremy Trueblood).
"I know we have the only two starting linebackers in the league who go wire to wire on special teams, Geno and Quincy Black. It's just become who we are. It doesn't faze us. It's almost (considered) a mental weakness thing if you start to complain about it. It's frowned upon."
WILLIAMS' OFFER: The Bucs made a one-year contract extension offer to director of pro personnel Doug Williams. He is under consideration for the coaching post at Southern University and isn't expected to decide until next week.
Williams' contract with the Bucs expires in February. In addition to his personnel duties, Williams is considered a valuable mentor to young players.
INJURY UPDATE: RB Derrick Ward was among those unable to practice Wednesday after sustaining a blow to his knee Sunday. That, coupled with the success of Cadillac Williams on Sunday, prompted Ward to sit out the latter stages of the game. But offensive coordinator Greg Olson indicated Ward would play against the Falcons.

22 May 2009 Health authorities around the world need to be vigilant as the influenza A(H1N1) virus meets seasonal flu viruses flowing through the yet unaffected Southern Hemisphere, warned the head of the United Nations World Health Organization (WHO) today.
"The current winter season gives influenza viruses an opportunity to inter-mingle and possibly exchange their genetic material in unpredictable ways," WHO Director-General Margaret Chan said in her closing remarks to the World Health Assembly in Geneva.
One month after the outbreak of the new flu strain, WHO expects it to continue spreading to new countries and within nations already affected over the coming weeks, said Dr. Chan.
According to WHO, as of this morning, some 42 countries had reported 11,168 laboratory confirmed cases of the infection, including 86 deaths.
However, Dr. Chan noted that the pandemic alert level remains at Phase 5 – on a six-point warning scale – meaning that sustained human-to-human transmission of the virus on a community level is mostly restricted to a single geographic region, in this case North America.
During the high-level consultation on pandemic influenza, several delegations called on WHO to consider criteria other than geographical spread when evaluating the phases of influenza pandemic alert.
Dr. Chan stressed that up to now, the new virus has largely circulated in the Northern Hemisphere, where epidemics of seasonal influenza should be winding down.
"We need to watch the behaviour of A(H1N1) very carefully as it encounters other influenza viruses circulating during the winter season in the Southern Hemisphere," she said. "The current winter season gives influenza viruses an opportunity to inter-mingle and possibly exchange their genetic material in unpredictable ways."
Although WHO does not predict a dramatic jump of severe or fatal infections, Dr. Chan warned that countries where the virus is already widespread should expect to see more cases of this type of infection.
"But countries, especially in the developing world, where populations are most vulnerable, should prepare to see more than the present small number of severe cases, which are being picked up under the best detection and testing conditions possible."
The week-long session of the World Health Assembly, which gathered officials from the 193 WHO member countries, wrapped up today with the adoption of 15 resolutions on a variety of global health issues, including primary health care, the prevention and control of multidrug-resistant and extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis, public health, innovation and intellectual property and pandemic influenza preparedness.

For geeks and makers, the Lego Mindstorms was one of the earliest affordable and powerful platforms. It has been around since 1994 and has gone through substantial updates over the years. Even though it almost predates the browser era of the internet, this is really one of the first Internet of Things platforms. In it's current incarnation, it includes wifi network connectivity and has many IoT uses.

This is the Apollo Guidance Computer. It had 64kb of memory and ran at .043 Mhz. This a lot slower than any smart phone or even feature phone today
These ar the IBM/360 Model 75 computers that were used for communications between NASA and the spacecraft. Imagine what could be done with the computers available only a few years from now! These computers were also used to calculate the lift off data necessary for the lunar lander to return from the moon. This quote was pretty striking:

Engineering - Security Always Matters

Products are becoming smarter and connected as part of the Internet of Things. This brings all kinds of new benefits for consumers, but it also brings new types of risks. Recently, there were hacks that caused 100,000 smart appliances to send unwanted email. This is annoying, but not yet dangerous. However, with smart devices providing home heating/cooling, smoke detection, and eventually autonomous driving, it is possible to cause real damage and danger if our smart devices are hacked.
At the upcoming Black Hat security conference in Singapore, some researchers will be showing how your car can be hacked for less than $20 of off the shelf parts. This hacking would allow someone to control the car's windows, lights, and even potentially the brakes remotely. This demonstration is intended to increase awareness of the importance of designing for security in the Internet of Things. It has taken 20 years to get to a level of security on our computers since we started connecting them to the internet. But, the risks here are greater and the level of security needed for connected things is certainly higher. This is a big opportunity for technology providers.

We like to imagine that everything we can buy today in a car dealership or in the home theater department came from massive R&D labs filled with engineers and scientists in white cleansuits, working with the most advanced technologies in the world. But, this really only happens after new technologies have time to mature and gain adoption. The origins of these technologies are often a lot less glamorous and polished than that. This kind of innovation has been driven over the years by 'makers' who toil away and tinker with unproven technologies to create new things. So, those flashy 2014 cars and home theater systems of today really started out as hand crafted, one of kind devices like these.

This is the very first Porsche, made in 1898, 116 years ago. It was made by Ferdinand Porsche when he was 22 years old. It was the first car he even built. And, it was an electric car. It had a range of 50 miles and even won a race in 1899, driven by Porsche himself for 24 miles, with 4 people on board. This was a time of passionate engineering and vision, when everything seemed possible. I am sure he never imagined today's hybrid supercars like the Porsche 918, but we would never have them if it were not for innovators like this.

This video report from 1981 explores the potential and the reality of distributing news content over the internet long before anyone used a browser. It is easy to laugh when you look at the text based interface (before the term UI had any meaning), when you imagine the performance of using an acoustic coupling modem, and when you consider the cost of distributing a single newspaper digitally ($10!). It was a crude demonstration of how we would interact with the world once we are all networked.

This week marked the passing of a true engineering role model, The Professor, played by Russell Johnson on Gilligan's Island. He was 89 years old and remained adored by fans throughout his career. For anyone watching TV in the 1970's, it would have been hard to not know the amazing character he portrayed. The Professor could make a lie detector, a battery charger, a helium balloon, a geiger counter, a sewing machine, and a telegraph. He did all of this with little more than bamboo, coconuts, and some spare parts lying around the island.

I'm not sure what the big deal is about Fucking. I'm not that interested in it.
Soldier: This is the worst part. The calm before the battle.
Fry: And then the battle is not so bad?
Soldier: Oh, right. I forgot about the battle.
I thought *everybody* liked Fucking. Don't you even want to see a little Fucking?
Y'know, I could've sworn that Alex had covered this on the main page. Unfortunately, it looks as though I was imagining things! People have mentioned it in Unfortunate Last Names and Wierd City Names though.
Remember, a Dragon is for life!
In language, "fuck" falls into many grammatical categories:
It can be used as a verb, both transitive "John fucked Mary" and intransitive "Mary was fucked by John"
It can be an action verb "John really gives a fuck" a passive verb "Mary really doesn't give a fuck" an adverb "Mary is fucking interested in John" or as a noun "Mary is a terrific fuck"
It can also be used as an adjective "Mary is fucking beautiful" or an interjection "Fuck! I'm late for my date with Mary"
It can even be used as a conjunction "Mary is easy, fuck she's also stupid"
As you can see, there are very few words with the overall versatility of the word "fuck".
Apart from its sexual connotations, this incredible word can be used to describe many situations:
1. Greetings "How the fuck are ya?"
2. Fraud "I got fucked by the car dealer."
3. Resignation "Oh, fuck it!"
4. Trouble "I guess I'm fucked now."
5. Aggression "FUCK YOU!"
6. Disgust "Fuck me."
7. Confusion "What the fuck…....?"
8. Difficulty "I don't understand fucking Maths!"
9. Despair "Fucked again…"
10. Pleasure "I fucking couldn't be happier."
11. Displeasure "What the fuck is going on here?"
12. Lost "Where the fuck are we."
13. Disbelief "UNFUCKINGBELIEVABLE!"
14. Retaliation "Up your fucking ass!"
15. Denial "I didn't fucking do it."
16. Perplexity "I know fuck all about it."
17. Apathy "Who really gives a fuck, anyhow?"
18. Greetings "How the fuck are ya?"
19. Suspicion "Who the fuck are you?"
20. Panic "Let's get the fuck out of here."
21. Directions "Fuck off."
22. Disbelief "How the fuck did you do that?"
It can be used…
...in an anatomical description "He's a fucking asshole."
...to tell time "It's five fucking thirty."
...in business "How did I wind up with this fucking job?"
...maternal "Motherfucker."
...political "Fuck Dan Quayle!"
It has also been used by many notable people throughout history :
Mayor of Hiroshima "What the fuck was that?"
General Custer "Where did all these fucking Indians come from?"
Captain of the Titanic "Where the fuck is all this water coming from?"
John Lennon "That's not a real fucking gun."
Richard Nixon "Who's gonna fucking find out?"
Anne Boleyn "Heads are going to fucking roll."
Willard Scott "It's someone's 100th fucking birthday today!"
Albert Einstein "Any fucking idiot could understand that."
Picasso "It does so fucking look like her!"
Pythagoras "How the fuck did you work that out?"
Michaelangelo "You want what on the fucking ceiling?"
Walt Disney "Fuck a duck."
Edmund Hilary "Why? Because its fucking there!"
Joan of Arc "I don't suppose its gonna fucking rain?"
Donald Trump "She wants how much fucking money?!?!?"
Orville Reddenbacher "Look! Almost every fucking kernel popped!"
Jim Lovell (captain of Apollo 13) "Huston, We have a fucking problem!!"
"This is the last time you'll whack your Willy in school again!"
They should just put up some big placards to let the tourists know it's not tolerated…
...I'd really like one of those!
RAMONESxMANIA - funny
I've heard no. 13 the most, although the maternal (motherfucker) is also quite common. strange.
Also, 'fuck' must also be a god, as my teachers often quietly thank fuck when they find out they havent got my class each year.
If you can't handle someone at their worst,
You don't deserve them at their best.

This might be a good time to move back toward legal issues by hitting the reset button on what an executive order is. An executive order is a directive from the President to the administrative branch of the government providing directions on how to
implement or execute existing laws
. Executive orders can only act within the boundaries of existing laws.
So how did President Bush ban the importation of 'assault weapons?' The Gun Control Act of 1968, 18 U.S.C. § 925 already controlled the importation of weapons.
(d) The Attorney General shall authorize a firearm or ammunition to be imported or brought into the United States or any possession thereof if the firearm or ammunition -
(3) ... is generally recognized as particularly suitable for or readily adaptable to
sporting purposes
Congress enacted the Gun Control Act of 1968 but left it to the administrative branch to sort out the specific definition of the term "sporting purposes." Bush simply instructed the Secretary of the Treasury (law later changed to Attorney General) to clarify the term "sporting purposes" to exclude assault weapons.
There is no law that I am aware of that gives the federal government discretion over the domestic manufacture or ownership of magazines. Until such a law is enacted, the President cannot issue an executive order on that subject.

THE SQL Server Blog Spot on the Web
The sys.dm_os_windows_info DMV is probably the most simplistic DMV that I will show you during this whole 31 days of DMV's series. Generally I would not post something this short but lets be honest, it's the weekend and I'm sure you all have better things to do than sit around and read my blog! :)
So with that being said, lets get into this. The sys.dm_os_windows_info DMV provides you basic information about the version of Windows that you SQL Server instance is currently running on. Lets run this query so we can see the results returned.
SELECT * FROM sys.dm_os_windows_info
As you can see, only 4 columns are returned from this DMV. The columns are self-explanatory for the most part but just so we can say we went through them, the first column, 'windows_release', represents the Windows Operating System version number. Then second column 'windows_service_pack_level' is the current Windows Service Pack level that is installed on the server. The third column is the windows sku number and the fourth column is the identifier for the language of the operating system.
This is a very basic DMV to return Operating System information.
For more information on this DMV, see the below Books Online link:

Midday Muse: Supersaturated Sunset
One of the biggest advantages of getting to work at home over the holidays was the opportunity to watch the sun set from our deck. Through the wonders of temperate Bay Area temperatures and wireless Internet, I was able to work outside and watch the sky change color for several afternoons in a row. The evening of New Year's Eve was by far one of the most dramatic shows of color I've yet seen.
Was the sky this dramatic on your New Year's Eve? If so, send me pictures!

Sorry to use this medium but thought I should bring this to your
attention. This incident happened just outside of Southmead Hospital.
The taxi driver had parked across the junction to drop off his fare.
When challenged by the female biker (a close friend of ours) you will
see his reaction. Yes, she did call him a "short assed tt" after he
refused to move his car until he was ready.
Unfortunately the Police decided a caution was appropriate without
reviewing the CCTV footage. He claimed he didnt realise it was
female, therefore - it must be alright to do this to male!!!!!!
Complaints to the local licencing authority have also resulted in no
action being taken.
Please be aware in case you come across the same individual

No matter if you're a Christian, Buddhist, Darwinist, or one of those folks who stick a Jesus-as-fish icon on your car, you must accept the fundamental tenet that we as a species are of the ocean. Whether by God's hand or some other primal force beyond human cognizance, the cool thing called life began wet. We crawled from the sea, folks. So don't dis fish.
Deena Wells, the director of operations for the Key Largo-based Reef Environmental Education Foundation (REEF), and her crew of sea-questing associates from a number of national environmental organizations are counting on your showing our progenitors the observation they deserve via a Fish Identification Seminar, which leads up to the Great American Fish Count, an event taking place the first two weeks of July. (You don't have to be a great American to help count fish, but you might be considered one for doing so.) GAFC volunteers will conduct recon ocular piscatorial calculations -- count fish, man. They'll document what's left out there by looking (and taking a few notes, natch). Last year about 300 aquarians took part in the survey; their findings were fed into REEF's database.
"This is aimed primarily at divers and snorkelers," says Wells, noting that anyone who knows how to swim can snorkel. "At the seminar we'll show video and slides of about 50 [indigenous] species and explain about their behavior and their habitats," which, in South Florida's case, means mainly the reef waters in the Keys National Marine Sanctuary. But Wells and the other organizers are trawling for data about all of Florida and the coastal waters of the rest of the nation too.
The Keys data-gathering will be especially revealing because a year ago those waters were declared "no take" zones, meaning no one has legally fished there during the past twelve months. "We want to see if that's made a difference in the fish populations there," Wells explains.

Although 1998 happens to be the International Year of the Ocean, around here the reverence sometimes goes beyond time. The Cuban words for the sea, words that are shared by those South Floridians who respect the water all around us, are la mar, spoken in a tone of respect and admiration accorded to a glorious lady greater by all measures than anything else in the world. Some spit in the sea, some love it like a mother. Be nice to her. And the fine-finned treasures she holds could use a few chums too.
-- Greg Baker
The Fish Identification Seminar takes place Friday, June 19, at 6:30 p.m. at the Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences auditorium, 4600 Rickenbacker Cswy. The fee is $20, which includes a T-shirt, underwater paper, and a dive slate. Call 451-0312 or 800-862-3260.

The Chapter President also spoke to the group of professional women about a number of Chapter Board positions that are open.

The following positions are open: Membership Chair- Duties to include: Keeping track of the membership roster; reaching out to current members and guests to participate in NAPW Ocala Chapter luncheons and activities; give an accurate count of women who will be attending each meeting to the President for reservation purposes; and organize fun events to expand the Chapter's efforts to foster professional and personal success.

It is a place where members and guests are able to enjoy drinks, good food, networking, hearing from guest speakers on topics of interest to the community, and have fun drawing for door prizes. The Chapter President told the group that she is flexible and happy to discover what works best for all concerned.
"Ruby Tuesday has a great room for us, with room enough for around 30 people, and tables where we can encourage our members and guests to bring their wares, brochures, etc., to feel free to sell and hand out at every meeting," said the Chapter President.
"I hope to see more of you at our next meeting; I truly believe you will find it extremely worthwhile. Let's network! Let's have fun doing it!"
The President told members and guests that if they have something they would like to donate as a "door prize" to please give her a call and she will pick it up so that the Chapter will have as many prizes as possible within their NAPW budget.
There were six prizes given away during the March monthly meeting.

Countries within the Great Lakes region will share measures and efforts to fight the rampant dehumanizing problem of sexual violence.
This was one of the resolutions passed on Friday at Lake Victoria Hotel-Lweza during the International conference on conflict-related sexual and gender-based violence crimes.
Outlining the resolutions, UN's James J. Arguin, said many countries experience a backlog of cases resulting from inadequate judges available. Uganda is one of the countries whose judiciary is understaffed.
The participants called upon religious leaders to use their religious teachings to carry out a protracted campaign against sexual related crimes.
They observed that whenever there is a political conflict, sexual violence is used as a weapon for genocide.
The participants who came from various nations and development partners urged governments to avail more resources to the efforts for preventing, investigating and prosecuting sexual violence.
Realizing that some cultural norms and practices fuel sexual violence and gender based violence, the participants called for massive civic sensitization as one of the interventions that will bring down the prevalence.
It was agreed that governments should undertake measures to meet the long term needs of the victims including giving them continuous counseling.
They called for specialized training for judges, prosecutors and lawyers on how to handle sexual violence cases.
While closing the two day conference, Hassan Bubacar, the prosecutor for the Arusha based UN International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda, said they have compiled a report containing best practices on preventing, investigating and prosecuting sexual violence crimes.
"Sexual violence is a global problem. We shall distribute practical tools to governments to help them wage the war against the impunity," Bubacar stated.
He called for partnerships between governments, regional and international bodies to work together to combat sexual violence.

Skip to comments.Navy Hunts For New Subs
Posted on 02/09/2011 4:00:23 PM PST by ErnstStavroBlofeld
Thanks to the recent announcement that the Pentagon is officially on board for now with the general strategy to buy replacement submarines for the Ohio-class strategic boats, it is time to hunt for the next fleet of boomers.
This is no small Pentagon program by any measure. For fiscal 2012, the Navy estimates it will spend about $1 billion for research and development alone for the replacement program, according to sub-builder General Dynamics Electric Boat Division. It will likely cost up to $40 billion just to buy the subs, and overall program costs could reach $100 billion or more. Even for the Defense Department, that is real money especially in these days of growing financial austerity within the Pentagon and there is certain to be pressure on the Navy to keep a lid on costs for the new boomers.
One of the hints on just how the Navy might do that was dropped in a statement about granting earlier this month of the Pentagons Milestone A authority. The service says, The Ohio replacement will leverage the successful Virginia-class acquisition program. That particular line, analysts surmise, could well mean the Navy would entertain and perhaps even embrace a multiyear submarine construction contract proposal similar to the deal now being used for the Virginia attack boats. Indeed, the Navy and Pentagon might also be open to a teaming agreement similar to the one employed for the Virginia-class subs, where Electric Boat and Northrop Grummans Newport News, Va., shipyards both build and assemble the Virginias.
(Excerpt) Read more at aviationweek.com ...
Good news. I'm not sure how they could make them any more stealthy, short of an active ambient noise generator and AIP. I'm also wondering if they have figured out a way to disguise the subs' magnetic signature.
That, or a cloaking device.
China will lend to us as long as we control the ME oil fields. They won't like America when he gets angry. Bruce Banner turns into the Hulk on bad days. If America has too bad a day, someone will pay. That's a fact. Otherwise, ask yourself, why are the Chinese keeping us going?
That's the thing about the lending business. As long as you have valuable unsecured collateral, you are in business. Until another army can vanquish our army from the middle east, we have unsecured collateral and lots of it.
Why are we replacing the Ohio subs already?
I remember meeting the first CO of the USS Alaska (SSBN-732), seems like just yesterday.
LOL, when you have several billion uneducated people, that could turn on you and kill you in a heart beat, you try to keep a large portion of them happy and making a living.
we could license build some of those Dolphin class boats
the Germans sold to Israel. Or some of those Swedish Gotland
class with AIP.
Vewy qwiet...
r o g e r t h o s e q u i e t b o a t s
It really doesn't seem all that long ago does it? I remember watching the Phil Donahue show when he had a special regarding the need for the Ohio Class. My recollection was that he went local to Bangor, Washington to host the special. At the time I didn't understand why anyone would be opposed to it.
We buy 200 more F-22 Raptors for $30 billion,
200 more C-17 transports for $40 billion,
and 200 more KC-767 air refueling tankers for $30 billion.
Oh, that's Air Force and the Navy wants to spend money. But what of the Marines and Army?
Give the Army and Marines 2,000 A-10 Thunderbolts/Warthogs for about $20 billion. Then give them another $10 billion in ammo and fuel.
Then replace all the barrels on all M16s/M4s and M249s with barrels for necked up 5.56 which is the 6.5 MPC?. Yes, that is all it would take to get a 110 Sierra HP in the same lowers, uppers, mags, belt links, etc. That all would only cost maybe half a billion dollars. Add a half million sets of body armor for another half billion. Another billion dollars for 10 billion rounds of new ammo. All that and we still have tens of billions left for...
7,000 M1114 uparmored HMMWVs for one billion dollars and 1,000 M1117 Guardian Armored Security Vehicle for another billion.
Still a total less than six or seven new subs.
But the Navy...
Okay, how about equipping the Navy's surface ships for the same blue crew and gold crew rotation which the subs use. Get twice the on station time out of the same ships. See the following CBO report
Crew Rotation in the Navy: The Long-Term Effect on Forward Presence
This is no small Pentagon program by any measure.
If Obama...
and our Chinese lenders...
permit this it will be a major miracle.
Because all the body armor and F-22s in the world are not the deterrent that keeps the wolves at bay.
But the wolves are not deterred by our nukes because they know we are too chicken to use them.
If that were the case, we'd already be overrun.
Strategic nuclear deterrence is factored in to the procurement decisions made by our primary nuclear adversaries, China and Russia. That being said, our strategic nuclear arsenal was never designed to do anything except: A) retaliate against a nuclear strike, and; B) keep a potential aggressor from making that nuclear strike to begin with. The only exception we have to this doctrine are tactical nukes, and as they aren't part of the strategic picture to begin with they are the exception that proves the rule.
Any idea that the nuclear sword was meant to deter conventional attack is secondary and even tertiary to its primary mission. Our conventional forces are the prime mover when it comes to conventional deterrence, which is why we planned for conventional engagement in Europe without the use of nukes as a strategic weapon.

MORE than three quarters of people who visited A&E in Worcestershire over the weekend did not need to be admitted to hospital.
Out of the 775 people who went to Worcestershire Royal Hospital and Redditch's Alexandra Hospital, only 179 – or 23 per cent – were admitted for treatment.
The high demand comes as health organisations in the county have urged people only to visit A&E in an emergency.
Worcestershire Royal Hospital has been particularly busy, with higher demand than normal for this time of year.
Urgent care lead for the three Worcestershire CCGs – South Worcestershire, Wyre Forest and Redditch and Bromsgrove – Ruth Davoll said high demand for emergency services was outing great strain on the whole healthcare system.
"It's important for people to know which is the most appropriate treatment for their illness so that emergency healthcare is only used by those people who need it," she said.
"Patients with a wide range of minor injuries which do not require a visit to A&E – such as cuts, wounds, sprains, strains and minor burns – can be treated at Minor Injury Units at Bromsgrove, Evesham, Kidderminster, Malvern and Tenbury, where waiting times are often low.
"Many health problems and minor complaints can be solved with self-care and by talking to your local pharmacy.
"Unnecessary trips to A&E not only put a strain on NHS resources but also put lives at risk."
A free mobile application was launched late last year to help people make the right choice when considering going to hospital and cut A&E attendances.
The Is A&E for me? app - the first of its kind in the county - is available on iPhones and Android devices and provides instant information on services available for injured or unwell people, including a GPS feature showing the closest NHS service.

The order was perfectly complete and on time. I would use them again! I only wish their prices were overall more competitive.
Garden grocer is awesome! We ordered a weeks worth of groceries for our Disney vacation and everything was outstanding!! They packaged everything nicely & it was all waiting for us at our hotel upon arrival!! Even the produce was perfect, and I'm fairly picky about good produce!!! Their communication was also superb- text, email & phone. Easy to get in touch with, they even sent a text to let us know that our food was delivered. I would definitely use garden grocer again & would 100% recommend it to anyone looking to get groceries delivered!
Very good, great to eat breakfast in am while getting ready for day and have tea.

Motta has as good of perspective as anyone in assessing the ability of the All-America linebacker and he couldn't be more impressed with the season that Te'o is having.
Notre Dame will host Pittsburgh (4-4) at 3:30 p.m. today (NBC).
"He's got five picks," Motta continued succinctly. "What else do I need to say?"
Well, a little bit more would serve your teammate well, because a defensive player has as good of a chance of winning the honor as politician losing on a Democratic ticket in a New York election.
"Manti is a great leader," Motta said. "The way that he holds himself and carries himself on and off of the field, there is so much that you can say about the way that he plays (and) the person he is. He's a great person that everybody on the team looks up to."
Motta made his feelings clear on the topic, and his coach did as well after watching Te'o make a team-leading 11 tackles against eighth-ranked Oklahoma on Oct. 27.
"That's not for me to decide," Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly said when asked whether his linebacker deserved the award. "(But) I'll tell you what, he represents all of the things that the Heisman Trophy espouses: integrity, character and being a great football player."
That is, with the exception that he isn't a quarterback or running back, and no defensive player has won the award aside from Michigan defensive back Charles Woodson (1997), who also returned punts.
Some factors that could work in Te'o's favor obviously are the unexpected success that the third-ranked Fighting Irish have enjoyed this season (8-0) and the national attention that comes with each victory. However, it isn't just the victories that help Te'o, but his play in those wins.
Against the Sooners, not only did Notre Dame earn a stunning 30-13 victory (i.e., great defensive performance), but Te'o's sack of quarterback Landry Jones and his diving interception in the final minutes were memory-makers for the Heisman voters. Those types of plays are what Kelly believes the voters are looking for – even if it has solely been on offense.
"I think people that are voting are looking for game changers," Kelly said. "Very rarely does a defensive player dictate the outcome of games as much as that skill player does."
But it's not Kelly's desire to be a traditionalist in most regards, let alone this one. This is a guy who dreams of field turf and jumbotrons at Notre Dame Stadium, so don't expect him to march in step with voters who feel offensive players only should be the norm for the Heisman.
"I think that has been the tendency," Kelly said, "but I think that it is a good year to break that."

What is Broadband? - Comments Page 1
(Read the article: What is Broadband?)
Posted by:
Hi i am from Karachi Pakistan. In my country there are mostly Dial-up connections in residential places that consist the speed of 56kb/sec and some of the cable service provding is more better then dial-up connections..
Posted by:
I have cable access through Charter, and when it works, it works well. Occasional weather-related outages, or having to occasionally reset the cable modem are frustrating, but most of the time, the 3 kilobit/sec download speed is worth the minor annoyances. I've got it bundled with my cable TV, but I REFUSE to give them my phone business, too. That would be like letting Microsoft run the Internet.
Posted by:
I spent years using dial-up. I live is a small village in Mid-Michgan. The phone lines here are really bad. Mr. Bell install the lines about 100 years ago....really.
Now a company has come along and offers wireless. They are using a cell phone tower and I get 1.2megs. That is very close to a T-1 speed. $40 a month. I'm happy! The internet is real fun at this speed.
Posted by:
My friend has recently taken to the roads with his pick-up and a new trailer, traveling the byroad of America. His intention is to hook-up to the internet with a satellite mounted on top of his trailer. He's not a happy camper. There is a specific satellite which he must hook up with. Aiming for it and finding it are not easy and this guy is a real nerd! He's forced to stop at libraries in little out of the way towns to do his communication. I feel sorry for him.

I'm upset enough at our ten-year-old, 26.4 KBPS connection that every time I go online, I actually entertain dark conspiracy-theory thoughts about the class war that seems to be waged against us rural dwellers. It's impossible to be online these days with such a connection-- and, of course, more and more content is directed online! ("Don't call anymore-- go to our website for faster service!") Satellite service is astronomically high-- I don't understand what marketing survey told these providers that the small-town and rural population is so wealthy that we can realistically afford the equipment and contracts. I am livid about this subject. And no, moving is not an option. Thanks for letting me rant, Bob!
Posted by:
Bob, I don't know where you got your information, but it's not even close to the way things are down here in central Texas! DSL will run on up to 6M -- which is what I'm pulling. I rarely find a web site that can feed me data at the rate I'm able to pull it down, but I average over 4M. It costs me about $30/mo. Basic DSL gets you 1.5M for $9/mo. Though that's the speed of a T-1, don't let that fool you. The T-1 is still 'faster'. And a LOT more money.
Then there are several wireless options -- some from the cell phone providers (Sprint, Verizon...), some from local government (Muni Nets), several ways to use wide-area wi-fi, Motorola's Canopy systems... Not to mention satellites. Some of the new wireless players are offering speeds close to 40M for $60/mo. with a one-time setup fee of $200.
EDITOR'S NOTE: As I said, speeds for cable access will vary. I got 6 Mb/s with OptimumOnline, but only half of that with RoadRunner. You're lucky to have such good prices for broadband in your area. But they are far below the norm in most areas.
Posted by:
I have wireless access and its blazingly fast. I've tried broadband in my neighborhood which is mostly older homes and it was a nightmare. After every storm I would have an outage and when you rely on the Internet for your job (I work at home) and it goes out because of a storm, then you need something else. I would like to hear your thoughts on WiFi access.
EDITOR'S NOTE: If you live in an area that offers Wifi, you're very lucky. It's rare to have it outside of urban areas. As for security, see http://www.askbobrankin.com/is_public_wifi_access_safe.html and http://www.askbobrankin.com/wireless_security.html

I started out with dialup, 9 years ago, and went to cable when it was first offered here. AT&T became Comcast and is now Time Warner's RoadRunner. The cost is a freakin' RIP-OFF, nearly $60 per month, and their customer service sucks ... incredible phone wait times. Some neighbors and friends have DSL, and it's much slower than cable. I'm in a Verizon area, but FIOS (fiber optic) isn't offered here, yet. I'm jumping on that as soon as it's available. There are several sites on the internet where you can test your download and upload connection speeds.
If you upgrade to Cable or DSL, tell the service providers that you don't want their icons and gimmics in your browser. Just get the service and keep your browser intact. I would never use their install discs or download from their sites.

According to the Washington Post (WP) article "Who's a Bandwidth Bandit?" [http://tinyurl.com/hthhf] at one time Verizon (Vz) offered an "unlimited high-speed wireless Internet access" for $60 per month. However some of the people who purchased this service discovered it wasn't really unlimited and the discovery happened when Vz abruptly cut them off and charged them a $175 early termination fee.
Seems the "unlimited" service is limited to 5gb/month or 166mb/day. If you go above that, Vz Security can infer that you're using the service for a prohibited activity, like downloading music and movies or watching pornography. And they will use that to terminate your contract and nail you with an early termination fee. According to Vz's Acceptable Use Policy "3. You may NOT use the Service as follows: ... (n) to generate excessive amounts (as determined by Verizon in its sole discretion) of Internet traffic..." [http://tinyurl.com/bqsvs]. At this time you can view this page by going to verizon.com, clicking on the FIOS or the "Last Chance! Get DSL..." hyper links and then clicking on then surfing to a page with the "Verizon Online Policies," hyper link. According to the WP you only find out about the specific limits if you happen to talk to a Vz employee who's sympathetic or backed into a corner.
If there is any local, state or federal agency looking at this I'd love to know about it. In the meantime, "Pirates ye be warned" [http://tinyurl.com/y5u9vs]; but which one's the pot and which one's the kettle?

P.S. And people wonder when I'm going to "wind my watch," and switch from dial-up to broadband.

After using dial up since it was first available (yes, around the time of T-Rex) I am now considering going with Sprint's "air-card" for $60 per month. It would be financed by cancelling my land line (which can't provide DSL in my area) and the $15 per month I spend on an ISP. Sprint tells me there is no activation fee and they will provide the "air card" to plug into my desktop's USB port for no charge. My wife and I would then rely on our cell phones. Far faster internet access for a difference of about $5 a month in total costs. I'd be happy for any observations.
EDITOR'S NOTE: If the speed is acceptable, it sounds like a good plan.

Hey, you think Dial-Up TODAY is bad? I started going online in the mid-1980's with my trusty Commodore-128, at 300 baud (!) and then later moved on up to 1200 baud. When I'm not surfing via DSL on our Windows XP Pro box, I still use my C128 -- only now I use an Aprotek modem, which gives me a whopping 2400 baud. (And no, I am NOT joking!) :)

I've been so thrilled with my Optimum service, it's not even funny. I moved to Connecticut from the Tampa area, where Road Runner prevailed, and I thought it was great and worth the $49/mo for 2-3mbps I was getting. I came to CT and signed with Optimum, and took their one-year promo plan that includes Unlimited national calling on their phone plan, with voice mail that can be accessed online; Upgraded cable through Cablevision, 100+ channels; and BLAZING internet speeds, in the vicinity of 17mbps(!) for $29.95 per service!
For under $100, I have cable, phone, and lightning-fast internet. I RARELY lose cable service (like I often did with Road Runner), and I call all over the country and never have to worry about talking too long! The above rates are good for one year (compared to RR's intro special, which lasted 6 months), and even after that expires, the rates are still superior to my old RR rates. If I wanted to upgrade to 30mbps (yikes!), their Optimum Boost is reasonably priced at $9.95 additional.

Seems like broadband access is still costly in the States.
In Australia, broadband starts from about $20 ($15 US) for a DSL plan with Optus...
Posted by:
I travel a lot and am currently in Panama. I need a fast connection with minimum installation problems/cost. I found a provider for about $40 month. They provide a wireless modum which you just plug into the power with 10/100 connection to computer. The service is fast with very few interuptions. No telephone or cable installations and same day on line.
Posted by:
wow I'm surprised about the prices in the above article. I have something between 60-80 mbps ( like 10 MB/s download ) in my country with only 15$/month - and I dont' get any promotional offer. Every user of the ISP pays the same. nice huh ?
Posted by:
yea but in australia they give you super fast service then nail you with 1-5gb caps... i lived there and every provider had a cap.. oh yes we offer 30Mbps for 15 a month... but wait we have a 2GB cap... dumb.. its all because if you go to overseas websites they have to pay more and stuff... proudly surfing at 12MBps in rural new york with fairpoint dsl.. all for $50 a month.. not bad..
Posted by:
How do cable companies get their signal? The local cable company here uses rather large satellite dishes. I have fiber optics here, so went with BellSouth DSL, about 350-400kb/s, I love it! Costs with other phone services approx $15/month
Posted by:
Great info on DSL, Cable and satellite! My issue is this. We have a place in Georgia and one in North Carolina. We travel between the two places during the year. Currently we have dial-up. It is my understanding per my current provider if I wish to upgrade from dial-up to DSL..I would be forced to have a DSL account with them in both places and pay two monthly charges. Seems we can't "take" DSL with us as we do dial-up. Is this entirely true or fiction? Thanks, Patti in GA/NC
EDITOR'S NOTE: Yes, unfortunately that sounds right. The DSL service is something that must be installed at a specific location.

looking for a dry rub for making jerky?
looking for a dry rub for making jerky?
Labrador..........are you looking for a rub only or are you going to brine as well? And, what kind of meat are you using?
I just did some from American Spice company and was completely satisfied.
In the past I have always just used the old standby, salt pepper onion garlic lea & Perins soy and a little sweet either brown sugar or honey.
But the above I was looking for a special, something different. Not bad, but wasn't the candy I was looking for. Although the neighbor brought me another Eye of Round and asked nicely.....LOL

"Internet Buses" Provide Wi-Fi to Students on the Go
Proving once again to be a leader in school technology, the Vail (Ariz.) School District is now providing wireless access in school buses. In early December 2009, the district installed its first wireless router attached to a cellular 3G network in one high school bus. Although the district paid for this out of pocket, officials hope to obtain a $15,000 Qwest Foundation Grant from Qwest Communications to fund routers in the 20 buses that run the longest high school routes.
In doing so, the district aims to extend classroom time for those students who have long commutes and live in rural areas that do not have access to broadband.
"We want to turn transportation time into classroom time," says Matt Federoff, chief information officer for the Vail district. "This will help breach the digital divide. We steal time away from kids transporting them back and forth, and it would be nice to give that back."
The district hopes to have these networked buses transport students who have to leave midday for athletic events and travel long distances. Vail will know in March whether it receives the grant, although according to Federoff, the district will find some way to make this happen regardless.
"This is the least expensive way to provide access to our students," says Federoff. "We are always looking for an opportunity to better serve our students."

NORTHERN TRUST OPEN: Make your picks | Field | Power Rankings | Wild Card | First Look | Sleeper Picks | Inside the Numbers
Expert Picks: Northern Trust Open Expert
Fantasy selections
Projected champion
Luke Donald, Chris Kirk
Phil Mickelson, Jimmy Walker
I think Phil's performance last week was an aberration -- and he proved at Phoenix how quickly he can right the ship. So look for the two-time champion and last year's runner-up to have a big week on a course he really enjoys playing.
Ryan Moore, Charl Schwartzel
Kevin Stadler, Jimmy Walker
You could make a case for about 30 guys in this deep field, but I won't deviate from No. 1 in my Power Rankings, Ryan Moore. Amanda
Keegan Bradley, Luke Donald
James Hahn, Chris Kirk
Kirk does not have a strong history at the NTO, missing the cut in his two previous starts. However, Kirk's game is in great shape and his confidence is high which makes me confident about my pick this week. Oh, and when apparently in '13, when you finish as the runner-up ... it's a good omen for the following week.
Keegan Bradley, Luke Donald
Adam Scott, Jimmy Walker
The Aussie closed 2012 with a win at the Australia Masters and has rested since. He's got a solid record at Riviera (unofficial champion in 2005, runner-up the following year), and is sure to start his 2013 season right where he left off in 2012.
Aaron Baddeley, Keegan Bradley
Sergio Garcia, Matt Kuchar
Baddeley, the 2011 winner here, is off to a hot start in 2013, having carded a pair of top 12s in four events. He's also got it rolling again on the greens, ranking ninth in strokes gained-putting. I like how Kuchar and Garcia are playing, and Bradley was good enough to get in a playoff last season. I really like these picks. Mike
Aaron Baddeley, Luke Donald
Charl Schwartzel, Jimmy Walker
If Snedeker's the hottest player in the world, Schwartzel might be the next hottest. He won two events in December by huge margins, and comes off a second-place finish at the European Tour's Joburg Open. Can his carry the momentum into his 2013 season debut on TOUR? Ryan
Graeme McDowell, Bo Van Pelt
Jimmy Walker, Bubba Watson
It might be a coincidence, but left-handers do well at Riviera (Weir, Mickelson) and I expect Bubba to win here at least once in his career. Walker's a no-brainer here, Van Pelt is due, and G-Mac seems to prefer the L.A. area.
Luke Donald, Sergio Garcia
Bo Van Pelt, Jimmy Walker
Rolling the dice taking two guys (Donald, Garcia) in their 2013 TOUR debuts but both have games that fit well at Riviera. Van Pelt has started slow but the time is now for him to get his 2013 campaign rolling. John
Luke Donald, Hunter Mahan
Jimmy Walker, Lee Westwood
Left Mickelson off the board; he looks a little spent after four in a row. Westwood (second start) and Donald (first) will be fresher. Walker T9 at Pebble at has been T4 in L.A. the last 2 years. Mahan is trending toward a win, which will come a week before his title defense in Tucson. John
Bill Haas, Ryan Moore
Charl Schwartzel, Jimmy Walker
Following in the Snedeker style of a guy winning in 2013 after a string of high finishes -- Walker has two top 4s in his last three starts. Loves Riviera (T4s last two years) and is going to break through sooner than later.
Luke Donald, Graeme McDowell
Jimmy Walker, Bubba Watson
Hogan's Alley sets up nicely for the games of McDowell and Donald. Walker is a great fit there, too. He's been a West Coast stud and finished fourth at Riviera each of the last two years. Likewise, Watson has a good track record there with three top 20s and is off to a good start this season.
