Today's location is just south of runway 9 blast pad at Miami international Airport
If you can really call it an expedition, was rather fun. The first xkcdian to show is gimmickless, followed by the rest(no-one cares about second). It started out with greetings and handshakes followed by a bare-knuckles brawl for supremacy of the hill!!! and the victor was... well, we don't remember but it was an epic battle involving a chicken suit man, a train, a cruse ship, and a fictional nazi plane. after a few photo opportunitys we set of to the nerby wendys for milkshakes and conversation. We disscused many things ranging from quadratic equations to ring tones.

Please, I need help as soon as possible. My boyfriend's ex-girlfriend is trying to tell us that she's pregnant. She is legitimately crazy and I don't know if she is telling the truth or if she is just using this to try and get him back. She sent us a picture of two negative pregnancy tests, then one positive one. I have been doing some reading and I read that if the test is left to soak, to could eventually show a positive result. I suspect this, but I need information from women who know. Please help us. We are both scared and not ready for something as big as this...

The people and the State (800 - 450 BC)
In 2010 the Groningen Institute of Archaeology (GIA) received funding of the Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research (NWO) to elaborate their research on the Iron Age settlement of Crustumerium. The aim of this website is to provide you with information on this project called "The People and the State. Material culture, social structure and political centralization in central Italy (800 - 450 BC)".
The settlement of Crustumerium is located on a volcanic hill plateau along the ancient Via Salaria in the east Tiber Valley, about 15km north of Rome (central Italy). The ancient site has been abandoned in antiquity and, despite its frequent occurrence in historical sources, it was lost for centuries. Its location was re-established by archaeological field surveys in the 1970's (Quilici, Quilici-Gigli 1980). Since then, the site and its surroundings have been the subject of many research initiatives under supervision of Dr. Francesco di Gennaro of the Soprintendenza Speciale per i Beni Archeologici di Roma (SSBAR). The settlement plateau and part of its surroundings have even been turned into an archaeological park by the Italian state. As a result the area has escaped the devastating effects of urbanization, making Crustumerium a unique site for archaeological study. The Groningen team started working at Crustumerium in July 2006 under the direction of Prof. Dr. Peter Attema and Dr. Albert Nijboer. The objective was to examine the burial grounds and create a learning environment for students of the GIA by participating in the SSBAR excavations of the Monte del Bufalo burial ground. In 2008 Sarah Willemsen MA was appointed to a PhD position to prepare a dissertation based on the results of the GIA excavations at Monte Del Bufalo. In 2010 Prof. Attema and Dr. Nijboer initiated the research project "The People and the State" to intensify the studies of the burial grounds, settlement and territory of Crustumerium. To this end Dr. Barbara Belelli Marchesini was appointed as a post-Doc researcher, enabling her to write a synthesis on the burial grounds. Jorn Seubers MA obtained a PhD position that focusses on the actual settlement and its territory. This website aims at presenting information on the archaeology of Crustumerium and the on-going research of the GIA at this site.

The Long-term Development of per-capita Consumption of Individual Socio-economic Categories of Households in Croatia up to 1985

The first preliminary results of the author's research on »Tendencies until now ol change in the structure of per capita consumption and its influence on the structure of production and anticipated development until 1985« which was done under the auspices of a scientific-research project on »An Inquiry into the Stan dard of Living of the Population«, by the Institute of Economics of Zagreb University in 1970, are discussed in this article. The long-term development of per capita consumption of individual socio- -economic categories of households in Croatia was made on the basis of regression analysis of preliminary results of a questionnaire on personal expenditure of the population in 1968. For a long-term prognosis of the personal consumption of individual socio- -economic categories of households the lower and higher variants of a unit of growth of personal consumption was taken. For this, the author took into consideration that long-term development up to 1985 will mediate the differences in personal consumption between individual socio-economic categories of the population. Due to anticipated differences in the unit of growth of total personal consumption in individual socio-economic categories of households, the growth of individual groups of individual consumption will be varied and is at the same time expressed differently in the structure of change in per capita consumption over a long-term period. In all socio-economic categories of households, the total personal consumption is approaching a relative decrease in the share for subsistence and a relative increase in the share of durable goods and services. Of course, the intensity of these changes varies so that in 1985 there will be even more significant differences in the structure of per capita consumption among individual socio-economic categories of households. An even higher level of economic development, that is, of the standard of living, is necessaiy in order to diminish the differences even more. A decrease in the differences in the standard of living among individual socio-economic categories of the population contributes generally to stabilization in the economic and demographic structure, that is, to an increase in economic growth and in the standard of living. Prognoses of spending for food per capita and of the provision of durable goods and automobiles also point to a growth m personal consumption and a decrease in the differences in personal consumption ' of individual socio-economic categories of households in the long-term period until 1985. These long-term prognoses of personal consumption, although they are of a very rough character, can usefully serve as an orientation to the development of production, for social direction of consumption and for the planning of the national economy as a whole. For this reason it is important that this research be continued.

Coronation Street star Alan Halsall, who plays Tyrone Dobbs on the popular show, has said that he feels uncomfortable at award ceremonies.
The actor, who has been nominated for four gongs at this year's Soap Awards in the Best Storyline, Best Episode, Best On-screen Partnership and Best Actor categories, has said he would rather go and have a pint at these events.
This year viewers saw Tyrone become a victim of physical abuse at the hands of his partner Kirsty Soames.
Speaking to the Mirror about the controversial storyline, Alan said: "A story like that is what every actor dreams of.
"Domestic violence that way round was so new to the UK audience. You want to get it right because it's never been done before.
"Everywhere I went it was, 'You need to leave Kirsty and get with Fiz. You need to tell someone she's hitting you'. It got an amazing reaction."
Despite not being a fan of attending the events, Alan did admit that he feels honoured to be up for so many awards, saying: "I don't think I've got my head around it just yet because it's been a brilliant story and I've loved every single minute of doing it.
"And to get nominated in a few categories, I'm thrilled. The main one being a public vote means a lot - at least people have appreciated the story. I'm over the moon."
The 2013 British Soap Awards air on Sunday (May 19) at 8pm on ITV.

March Madness and your iPhone or iPad
It's that time of year again. You know, the time when inconveniences like work, family and the need to eat and sleep all get in the way of what you really want to do — watch college basketball. Fortunately, technology is here to help.
The Unofficial Apple Weblog has a rundown of a few apps that will help you watch games and monitor your bracket from your iPad or iPhone. It overlaps with this similar list from TechHive, linked to from Macuser.
They're all fine. I had much better luck using CBS's March Madness Live app to watch last night's First Four games than I remember having last year, which was a nice experience. Hopefully it will hold up when the games get better and more people are watching. And don't forget — you don't always need an app to follow the tournament. The NCAA website offers streams for all devices, including your desktop rig.
Sadly, Simple Bracket (last year's Kickstarter project to build a simple tool for filling in your bracket on an iPhone and measuring it against others') is skipping this year's tournament — a decision that angered some backers. So for better or worse, this year will be my first experience using pooltracker.com.

With $1 million prize money up for grabs, pit strategy and winning at least one of the early race segments may be the deciding factor towards capturing the checkered flag in this year's NASCAR Sprint All-Star Race.
The field will consist of race winners in 2011 and 2012, active Sprint Cup champions and All-Star Race winners from 2002 to 2011, and the top two finishers in Saturday's Sprint Showdown warm-up. A 23rd and final spot will be awarded to one driver selected via fan voting. The fan favorite, as of today, seems to be Dale Earnhardt Jr.
This year, race officials have added a 5th race segment to make things more interesting. The last race segment will be a 10-lap sprint preceded by a mandatory pit stop.
Saturday schedule (EDT):
7:30 PM – Sprint Showdown which is two segments of 20 laps each; top two finishers transfer to All-Star Race
Approximately 9 PM – Sprint All-Star Race which is 5 race segments consisting of four 20-lap segments and a 10-lap shootout.
Advantage goes to the four segment winners because they get to line up at the front of the field coming to pit lane for the final pit stop before the final shootout (which is mandatory).
"It's just going to be how everybody sets themselves up for that last pit stop," said Steve Addington, crew chief for Tony Stewart. "The big key is going to be that segment win, so you can be at the front."

TV Tonight: Phenomenon
Saying NBC has put a bit of effort into promoting Phenomenon would be like saying Pushing Daisies is "a bit cute" or Dr. House is "a bit cranky." I'm hoping that the show's premiere tonight means my viewing of other NBC shows will no longer be interrupted by a Phenomenon ad covering up the bottom quarter of the screen.
The show, hosted by Uri Geller and Criss Angel, is essentially a cross between a magic show and American Idol. Ten mentalists and mystifiers will demonstrate their talents each week on a panel of celebrity guests (including the girls from The Girls Next Door and Raven Symone), and viewers at home will choose which contestants stay and which go home.
Most of you said a show like this wouldn't be up your alley, so I'm wondering if NBC made a big mistake in making this a show where the viewers choose a winner. Do people at home really care about picking "the next great mentalist"? On the other hand, some of the magical, mystical tricks Phenomenon has promised probably look pretty cool. To watch a preview for the show and let me know if you'll be tuning in, just

Hi Mummas,
The title pretty much says it all.
My husband and I will be meeting with midwives for the first time.
I have looked through all the lists of questions, and now I suppose its about figuring out exactly what I am looking for in their answers.
So I wanted to see what YOU look for in YOUR midwives.
Hearing other preferences should help me figure out my own a little more finely!
TIA Mummas!!
Happy Vegetarian Gal and Techie Man- Newly Wed!!! Expecting "Albi" Christmas 2012
Looking forward to
Have you read Navelgazing Midwife's blog? She has a list of questions she thinks you should ask on her blog, but I don't know what the title of that particular entry was. It shouldn't be too hard to find though. :)
Personally, I'm very interested in their education and experience, and I don't think it's something you should feel bad asking about. I also want to know what she'll do in different situations. For instance, what about a breech birth? I won't go into my exact personal preferences, because that will just start a debate that's irrelevant to this discussion, but I do NOT want a midwife to tell me she will attend a breech birth under every circumstance, for every woman. For me, I feel more comfortable with a midwife who is slightly conservative, but not overly so (all in my estimation of things, of course - what I think is "conservative" might seem radical to someone else, and vice versa). I think you really ought to consider what things you think a midwife should risk a woman out for, because if the woman you're talking to says she does not risk out for those things, it might be an indicator that she practices in a way that you consider risky, and you might not be comfortable with other things she does either. On the other hand, you might find that she's more conservative than you like, which could mean she'd risk you out over something you don't think should be a big concern.
I want to know that she's going to come when I think I need her. Personally, I am not impressed by stories that involve a woman calling her midwife and asking her to come, only to have the midwife tell her that she (the laboring woman) doesn't sound like she really needs anyone yet, so the midwife is not coming yet. Now, I did call my midwife when my labor first started, but it was up to me whether or not she came - I told her I didn't need anyone yet, not the other way around. I would be very upset if someone told me I didn't need them yet. That's just me though. I feel like if I believe I need her, she should come. I know other people feel differently. You should consider how you feel about that.
It's the late here and my brain is getting foggy, but that's what I immediately thought of. :)
I like to just chat and see how we mesh together.
I usually e-mail a list of technical questions first and then have a meeting to see how we get along.
I like to know how much autonomy they feel comfortable giving me.
Are they comfortable with my choices of little to no tests?
Are they comfortable being as hands off as possible during labour and delivery?
Are they comfortable with me or my DH catching?
I also try to ask open ended questions so that I can get answers in their own words and not just yes or no answers.
I also like to know what hospital they transfer to if they need to transfer.
Also, under what circumstances do they feel a transfer is necessary.
oh, and do they like pets (cause we have a dog). :)
I found it most helpful to have a detailed list of questions I wanted the answers to (2 pages long), but then also to ask open-ended questions. Rather than asking for each specific detail of their practice, ask what their birth philosophy is. Ask how a typical birth might go with them. Ask the broader questions, and let them talk. Ask about their favorite birth, or their scariest birth. You'll get answers to a lot of your questions, and also get a better feel for the MWs. When you get to the end of your conversation, look over your list of questions and see which ones haven't been answered yet - ask just those at that point. I've found that most of my questions get answered just during conversation, so I wind up asking maybe 4 or 5 questions, usually about cost/billing/etc.
For me the big questions I had to have answers to were what their requirements were for testing, and whether I could avoid the GTT and the GBS screening. I've interviewed over a dozen MWs between 3 pgs and only 1 ever expressed that she required the testing. As for training/education, some of that is going to depend on your location and the requirements for practice. Here I know by the letters behind their name what their training is, so it's not as necessary for me to ask those questions, that would be different in an area where MWs are not regulated. But it can be helpful to ask how they got into MW.
Mostly I recommend that mamas listen to their bodies during these interviews. Are you comfortable and relaxed with this woman? Are you tense and feeling distracted by something she's doing? Are you feeling uncomfortable in her presence? Are you feeling like you could ask/tell her anything, or are you wondering how much is safe to tell? Can you make/maintain eye contact? These are very important clues to whether or not you can work well together. Don't hire a MW you're not totally comfortable with. Don't hire one that you couldn't tell anything, or ask anything. It is no reflection on you or on her if your personalities don't work well together. I've interviewed partners where I felt completely comfortable with 1 of the MWs and not at all with the other. That's not a good fit, since you can't predict who will be on call when you go into labor.
With DS I hired an older MW, one who had a bit of a grandmotherly feel to her. And then I discovered that I couldn't stand up to her because of my own authority issues. So this time around I hired someone closer to my own age. Someone who is still an authority figure, but not someone I would have difficulty standing up to just because of her age/experience. So be aware of your own personality issues also.
If you are concerned about breech or twins, ask the question. If they will attend it, ask about their experience with it (you don't want an inexperienced MW for either one). Around here there are maybe 2 MWs who will attend a breech, and we have a LOT of MWs around here. It's just so rare anymore that most will never see it. But many MWs will volunteer info about turning breech babies with this question, and that's also important.
Ask about referrals. Is she comfortable working with other professionals? My MW with DS didn't give me a referral to a chiro or an IBCLC when she should have. This time I got a list of them upfront from this MW (her standard practice). Not being able/willing to work with other professionals or refer to others who may be able to help you better is a big red flag to me. No one person can do it all.
Ask about labor support. Around here that is not the role of the MW. If you need labor support, you have to hire a doula or find a friend to do it. I didn't know that with DS, and that was an important detail. I was in labor 5 days, and the MWs only showed up for the last 20-ish hours of it. And my DH was not much help by that point (exhausted). I *really* needed a doula, so this time I'll have one.
If you have insurance, ask if she works with insurance. All the MWs I interviewed will bill the insurance company through a billing service after the fact. But you're still responsible for the $$ up front - this is an important distinction for some people. Around here none of them will pursue the insurance company, that's on you. But they're more than happy to do the paperwork. I also got a list of questions to call and ask the insurance company so I could know what to expect as far as reimbursement.

Staffs who attended us during our check was very rude, bed linen are very dirty and promised to change but she did not arranged and we have to collect linen from counter and do it ourselves, toilets are so messy and dirty, no locker available for traveler to lock their belonging, will never stay there again.
I have spoken to the staff member who dealt with your booking. She gave you a lamp for your room as a light was low and she gave you this from her own bedroom. You said the sheets were not clean but they were, however she changed all 8 beds for you anyway as this is what you asked. Then you came to say she had not changed them but she did and they were all clean so we changed the linen 3 times for you! The toilets are cleaned twice a day and only messy if someone makes a mess of them.

CAMP DWYER, Afghanistan – Black, brown, green, gray and tan. Those are the colors of the belt levels of the Marine Corps Martial Arts Program that a 'user' can earn.
Red is a color reserved for a Marine who has the extreme discipline and dedication required to earn the right to become an instructor trainer. Hours, days and weeks are spent under grueling training conditions to earn the red tab these Marines display on their belts.
Four red instructor tabs represent the experience and discipline of U.S. Marine Gunnery Sgt. Jason Rossman, the company gunnery sergeant of Charlie Company, 3rd Assault Amphibious Battalion, currently attached to Combat Logistics Battalion 1.
Rossman, a 4th degree black belt MCMAP instructor and 37-year-old native of Grand Junction, Colo., began his martial arts journey in the Corps in 2001 at Marine Corps Base Hawaii in Kaneohe Bay.
"My platoon sergeant was a first degree martial arts instructor at the time," said Rossman. "He was really for the program…he was the reason I really got into it."
In 2002, Rossman attended the martial arts instructor trainer course at the Marine Corps Martial Arts Center for Excellence, or MACE, in Quantico, Va. After receiving his first red tab, Rossman then returned to Hawaii as a MCMAP instructor trainer for division schools.
Rossman received a phone call from the MACE in 2003, and in February of the following year, he checked in to the Corps' martial arts center as an instructor trainer. He served as an instructor, training Marines sent to Quantico to become instructors, and new Marine officers going through The Basic School. He also held the MCMAP curriculum developer billet during his time at the MACE.
"We had an 'A' team and 'B' team," said Rossman. "One team would stay in Quantico to teach the course, while the other would be out teaching Marines or developing the martial arts or self-defense program of another country."
"I've been to Rio De Janeiro, Columbia, Panama and other countries to help them with their martial arts program," he added.
Since becoming an instructor, Rossman has trained over 10,000 Marines in MCMAP. It's clear that the success of his student is what drives him.
"When they see your belt, a lot of people label you as a 'ninja'," said Rossman. "It's funny because the only thing that damn belt does is hold my pants up."
One of his more notable students is former Marine Capt. Brian Stann, whom Rossman trained for his first three professional fights. Stann is now a professional mixed martial arts competitor in the Ultimate Fighting Championship circuit, who at point point held the World Extreme Cagefighting Light Heavyweight Championship title.
During this deployment, which began in October, Rossman has grown and developed the skills of hundreds of Marines in the program.
He teaches Marines wherever padded mats are available, including a 10 by 15 foot training area, not more than a few paces away from his office. The training mats are partially torn and patched with duct tape, while training equipment such as plastic knives and striking pads are scarce and well used. Though the training conditions are near Spartan-like, it doesn't stop Rossman from his passion of teaching and spreading the wealth of knowledge and experience he has accumulated over the years.
"A lot of the Marines are enthusiastic about the program," said Rossman. "We have Marines who would get off their 12 hour shifts from work, and go work on their skills at 10, maybe 11 p.m., with the lights shining on the mats."
"I can see that they're getting out, being active and not being home-bodies and just going back to their cans [living quarters] and doing nothing at the end of the night," explained Rossman. "It's pretty motivating and I hope I contributed to that.."
He graduated 17 instructors during a grueling 6-week course in February.
"I'm really proud of the instructors I graduated," said Rossman. "Most of the instructors I had were sergeants, and I know they're going to carry the program and do the right thing."
"Gunny Rossman pushes each Marine past their physical barrier to test their mental stability and to create a stronger warrior," said Cpl. Jaymie Ahumada, a company clerk and logistics vehicle operator with Headquarters and Support Company. CLB-1 and 21-year-old native of Denver. Ahumada is one of the MCMAP instructors that recently graduated under Rossman's tutelage.
"He goes above and beyond to help every Marine succeed in what they are trying to accomplish," added Ahumada. "He embodies the mental, physical and character disciplines of MCMAP."
Aside from teaching the MCMAP curriculum, Rossman also goes out of his way to teach other martial arts, such as kickboxing, jiu-jitsu, eskrima and kali.
"At the MACE, we used to have martial artists come through and give us demonstrations of their martial arts," said Rossman. "I picked up on some of what they were showing us and started training on them on my own time."
"A lot of what I teach is weapons based tactics," said Rossman. "I really like eskrima and kali, which are both Filipino martial arts…the moves are designed to be short, and to the point, which can be an advantage for Marines especially when they're in full body armor."
As the end for his deployment gets ever closer, Rossman plans to continue teaching and pushing Marines to achieve excellence, not only in MCMAP but in their careers as well.
Rossman has been selected for promotion to the rank of first sergeant. As he continues through his successful Marine Corps career, Rossman will continue to promote and grow Marine Corps Martial Arts wherever he travels.
"I'm going to push the program no matter where I go," explained Rossman. "It doesn't matter what degree I am, whether I'm a first sergeant or if I move to sergeant major, I'll always be in the trenches with my Marines, doing martial arts and combat conditioning and getting thrown to the ground, just as hard as them."
Editor's note: Combat Logistics Battalion 1, Marine Logistics Group 1 (Forward), is currently operating in direct support of Regimental Combat Team 5, 1st Marine Division (Forward), which works in partnership with the Afghan National Security Forces and the Government of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan to conduct counterinsurgency operations. The unit is dedicated to securing the Afghan people, defeating insurgent forces and enabling ANSF assumption of security responsibilities within its area of operations in order to support the expansion of stability, development and legitimate governance.

do cohesive gel implants look and feel more natural than saline. do they feel as heavy as saline does? also, is one safer than the other?
What Are the Differences Between Cohesive Gel and Saline Implants?
Doctor Answers 5
What Are the Differences Between Cohesive Gel and Saline Implants?
The saline and gel implants feel differently outside the body and if you have very little soft tissue covering the implant, you might tell the difference between the saline and gel implants once they are inserted. I think if you have a C cup breast with good amounts of soft tissue under the skin and you go to a D cup with an implant, it would be hard to tell the difference between saline and silicone. If however you are very thin and go from an A cup to a C cup, you would be able to tell the difference. In that case the gel implant will feel a lot more natural.

Gel and Saline Implants
If you can hold a sample of each implant, the silicone one will feel like soft tissue, and the saline one will feel more like a water balloon. If you then lay them on a tabletop, the difference witll be less, and this simulates the implants sitting on the chest wall. The implants are covered with an amount of breast (and muscle) tissue, making the difference still less.
But the silicone implants will still feel more natural than saline. The difference will be greater in a small breasted woman with large implants, that let's say a patient with a natural C-cup who has a smaller implant.
Silicone advantages include:
- more natural overall feel
- less likely to see or feel ripples, or folds in the implant
Saline advantages include:
- smaller incision, and more choice of incision, as these are inserted while empty and are then filled. The gels are all pre-filled.
- less expensive.
In terms of leak, the rates seem to be similar. A leak is obvious with saline, as the implants will deflate, usually quickly. With silicone, leaks are usually not apparent, because the silicone is not absorbed like saline and usually stays in place, contained by the capsule that has formed around the implant.
Most surgeons and patients prefer the silicone implants, and their usage has increased steadily since they reappeared on the general market a few years ago.
Thanks for your question, best wishes.
Differences between implants
There are a few basic differences between saline and silicone implants.
1. silicone feels more natural, or what you think a breast should feel like
2. silicone ripples less
3. It is harder to detect a leak with a silicone implant because often there is no change in the outward appearance - the rupture rates of saline and silicone implants are very similar, and both very low.
For these reasons, silicone tends to be the preferred implant by most plastic surgeons and patients.

Saline or Silicone Breasts Implants?
Thank you for the question.
The type of breast implant used during breast augmentation surgery may be a factor in determining the final outcome of the procedure, especially if the patient does not have significant covering breast or adipose tissue. For example, some surgeons feel that silicone implants have a more natural look and feel than saline implants because silicone gel has a texture that is similar to breast tissue. Each patient differs in the amount of breast tissue that they have. If a patient has enough breast tissue to cover the implant, the final result will be similar when comparing saline implants versus silicone gel implants. If a patient has very low body fat and/or very little breast tissue, the silicone gel implants may provide a more "natural" result.
On the other hand, saline implants have some advantages over silicone implants. Silicone implant ruptures are harder to detect. When saline implants rupture, they deflate and the results are seen almost immediately. When silicone implants rupture, the breast often looks and feels the same because the silicone gel may leak into the breast implant capsule area without a visible difference externally ( "silent leak"). Therefore, patients may need an MRI to diagnose a silicone gel rupture. Saline implants are also less expensive than the silicone gel implants.
Other differences involve how the breast implants are filled. Saline implants are filled after they're implanted, so saline implants require a smaller incision than prefilled silicone breast implants. On May 10, 2000, the FDA granted approval of saline-filled breast implants manufactured by Mentor Corporation and McGhan ( Allergan) Medical.

Cohesive gel is SILICONE, SALINE is (water). Depending on how much breast tissue you start with is how your breast is determined whether saline or silicone would be best for you. There is not one implant that is better than the other. You need to read about the Pro's and Con's to Saline & Silicone so you can make an informed decision.

Over in Great Britain, Tony Blair is taking a lot of heat because those weapons were the primary reason for our unpopular invasion. Over here in "love it or leave it" America, you don't hear a lot about it. Colin Powell cites plagiarized intelligence reports (which Britain later admitted) and forged documents (that no one claims to know the origin of) and yet no seems to care.
So we're going after Saddam for the weapons but we couldn't find them. Eh, maybe we were going after him for his role in 9/11.
It was clear that they were playing games with the UN Inspectors. It's also clear from what we are finding that they had an active program to develop or research WMDs.
The fact that they may have been busy destroying
It was clear that they were playing games with the UN Inspectors.
You don't invade a country because they're playing parliamentary games.
Certainly, if Iraq had no WMD, they could have fully cooperated with the UN Inspectors and made a mockery of the US and probably gotten the sanctions lifted in no time.
I'd love to see how the US would react to UN weapons inspectors and what sort of reception they'd get (and, of course, our subcequent invasion of ourself based on their shoddy treatment). Just th
The US didn't lose a war where one of the conditions of Armistice was full accounting and destruction of their Weapons of Mass Destruction. Iraq signed on to conditions of inspections in 1992, thus no sovereignty was being violated. We were just enforcing the terms of that Armistice.
No matter how hard you try to spin it, George W. Bush is not Saddam Hussein, Weapons of Mass Destruction in the hands of the US are not the same as in the hands of Iraq.
When that "paperwork" are the conditions of an unconditional surrender, you'd better fill it out properly or be prepared to pay the consequences.
They clearly didn't destroy them like the UN told them to. The UN told them to destroy them and provide a full accounting for them.
We didn't invade a country because they were playing "parliamentary games" (what that means in this context I couldn't guess). We invaded them because they failed to live up to the conditions of armistice that they agreed to after Gulf War I. This included full, complete verifiable destruction of WMD which the UNSCOM inspectors actually identified and renouncing all territorial claims to Kuwait (Iraq instead reasserted it's claims to Kuwait).
Resolution 1441 was just their last chance to live up to their commitments and the allies determined that it was just more of the same old games.
UN Security Council members like Russia and France clearly had no intention of enforcing the Gulf War I Armistice, with their Billions invested in Saddam's continued existence. Those two even clamoured for lifting of all sanctions in 1999.
Sometimes, you just have to do the right thing no matter the diplomatic opposition. I think this is one of those times.
Lost in all this is the mysery of the Iraqi people. Saddam literally starved them to death and was allowed to blame us for it, enflaming the Arab street. The best of both worlds for Saddam and the worst for us. And, you anti-war types just don't seem to care a bit.
I'd love to see how the US would react to UN weapons inspectors and what sort of reception they'd get (and, of course, our subcequent invasion of ourself based on their shoddy treatment).
The US didn't lose a war where one of the conditions of Armistice was full accounting and destruction of their Weapons of Mass Destruction.
You miss the point. You put forth Iraq playing games with UN inspectors as an admission of guilt. Consider the hypothectical situation of UN weapon inspectors in the US. Yo
When Resolution 1441 required 'full, immediate and proactive disarmament' and a full accounting for weapons that previous UN inspectors had identified and they play games, that is not an admission of guilt, that is, in itself, a violation.
I think you miss the point our insisting on the language of Resolution 1441 requiring "full, immediate and proactive disarmament". You see, inspections have never worked

Matthew Wade starred in his one-day international debut for Australia, helping the side to a 66-run win over India in the home side's first ODI of 2012.
Wade was again prolific with the bat and hammered out a team-high 69 runs, the sixth highest total for a first gamer in Australian history.
India started well, dismissing David Warner (6), Ricky Ponting (2) and Michael Clarke (10) early and leaving the score at 3-49. It may have looked bleak at that point but Wade steadied his bat and smashed a six and four off the 11th over before rain broke up play for over three hours.
After the break Wade and Michael Hussey (45) batted Australia into a good position before David Hussey smashed 61 off just 30 balls to leave the team in a perfect position after 32 overs.
India didn't come close to match that total and were dismissed for 151. Mitchell Starc bowled well, taking two wickets in his first two overs to halt the Indian advance and another debutant, Clint McKay, took two wickets from his first four balls and finished with 4-20.
Starc made sure Indian legend Sachin Tendulkar would not claim his 100th international century, leaving the batsman out off a specactular diving catch from Ricky Ponting.
Wade played his first games for Australia last week in the Twenty20 international and was the man of the match in Sydney last week. He replaced long-time veteran Brad Haddin who may now struggle to make it back into the side if the much younger Wade keeps up his brilliant form.

NASA has high hopes for troubled rocket
NASA is on the verge of signing up for a reusable rocket developed by a private company that filed for bankruptcy last year.
The contract between NASA and Kistler Aerospace Corporation could eventually allow Kistler's K-1 rocket to ferry food and experiments to and from the International Space Station.
If the deal went ahead, the rocket may be launched from Woomera in South Australia.
This latest contract, which was announced last month but has yet to be signed, would give the company a chance to get out of financial trouble. The contract is a modification of an earlier one, on which Kistler failed to deliver.
"In the wake of our loss of Space Shuttle Columbia and our sudden new problem with keeping the Space Station resupplied without a space shuttle at least for the next year or two, Kistler reapproached NASA," NASA's Australian representative, Neal Newman told ABC Science Online
The new contract would cap the amount NASA paid to Kistler at US$227 million for data collected from the launches. And NASA would not give Kistler the go-ahead to launch until the company was out of the red.
"Kistler is taking on all the risk," Newman said. "Kistler is on the hook to resolve the money and do all this and we are simply going to be a customer. If they were to come through and deliver what they say they can, we'll be buying data."
Newman said NASA was keen to see things resolved "as soon as possible".
"We need to have a decision, if not a capability, by early 2007 to have something other than the Space Shuttle helping us with the space station," said Newman. "We do have a very legitimate need to have alternative means to the space station so we wish them certainly lots of luck."
Kistler has told NASA it can have the first rocket off the ground within 18 months of being given the go-ahead.
Launch site
Kistler expects the rocket to be launched from Woomera, where a sod-turning ceremony took place as far back as 1998 to mark the proposed project.
But Andrew Eastick, from a state development agency, the Northern Regional Development Board, is sceptical.
"It would be fantastic if Woomera could be used for that purpose. It's crying out for activity." Eastick told ABC Science Online. "But the Kistler idea has been around as a promise for five to six years. People are very sceptical and I think the only thing that would convince them is bricks and mortar."
According to the publication Space News, bankruptcy court documents show Kistler has already spent more than US$550 million since 1993 on the rocket and needs another $500 million to complete it.
According to an article on the online news service space.com, environmentalists have criticised the suitability of another possible K-1 launch site in Nevada.
The article cites a rocket expert, Marshall Kaplan, chairman of Satellite on Demand Inc of Potomac, Maryland as saying that as the K-1 rocket was unmanned, it presented greater safety concerns than the Space Shuttle.
He said Australian launches would be used to prove how safe the rockets were on re-entry because Australia was less heavily populated than the U.S.
But NASA's Newman said Kistler would be responsible for getting regulatory clearance for launches wherever they took place.
"We're [NASA's] buying data. It's their responsibility to deliver a launch vehicle that's able to meet all local or national regulations."
Kistler was unavailable for comment.

The Raiders dropped to 0-2 for the 2012 pre-season after losing to the Arizona Cardinals 31-27.
Most observers thought that the 2012 Oakland offense would hit the ground running and it would be the defense that would take time to gel and excel with the new schemes brought in by head coach Dennis Allen and defensive coordinator Jason Tarver.
However through two pre-season games the defense for the Raiders has looked very good and the offense has yet to score a touchdown.
The offense had two big opportunities to do so – the first on their second drive in the mid first quarter. QB Carson Palmer threw up a pass to rookie WR Rod Streater that he wasn't able to come down with but there was a call of pass interference on the play and the Raiders were given First & Goal at the 1 yard line. They were unable to convert in 3 attempts.
In the second, the Raiders 1st team offense again made it down to the goal line – about 3 yards out – and again was unable to advance in multiple downs. The team settled for fieldgoals by Sebastian Janikowski and he tacked another 46 yarder as well, all in the 1st half. Most of the starters played the entire first half which was the amount of time Allen had scheduled for them to play.
Darren McFadden had some rough running, initially, but showed good burst on a run of 22 yards and he added a reception that went for 17. When he was playing the team was clearly funneling through him and he looked like the most explosive player on the offense by far.
After McFadden left, rookie Rod Streater stood out for the second straight week – he made big play after big play and ended the night with 7 receptions for 43 yards.
It's good for the Raiders that Streater is stepping up because they may be without speedster Jacoby Ford for a time. Ford suffered a foot injury and missed the rest of the game. Ford missed mulitple games with a foot injury in 2011.
Also injured in the game were RB Mike Goodson (chest) and QB Matt Leinart (finger, non throwing hand).
Before getting injured, Goodson was having a nightmare night having two fumbles plus a third lost ball that ended up being ruled down by contact.
The first team defense looked good for the second straight game. After allowing Arizona to drive on them fairly easily on the first posession of the game the defense stiffened and showed good pass rush and run defense. They also sacked starting QB Kevin Kolb for a safety and generally harrassed him all evening.
Special teams had a terrible game – the Raiders special teams consistently gave up yardage on returns while failing to block well for their own returns. They also allowed a blocked punt and a blocked PAT.
S&B report:
Darren McFadden – looks to be fully healthy and when healthy he is dynamic
Rod Streater – the undrafted free agent rookie looks like he's the best receiver on the field with Denarius Moore out.
Chimdi Chekwa – the second year corner has not received the press that fellow CB DeMarcus Van Dyke has in camp but he outshown DVD with an interception and generally tight coverage all day.
Carl Ihenacho – the former practice squader made some solid plays in run coverage and one great play as a pass rusher where he showed a shoulder dip move reminiscent of Kam Wimbley. He hit the QB and forced a fumble that was recovered for a Raiders TD.
Mike Goodson – in his first game back he fumbled 2 times, did not have any great runs and then left with an injury.
Special Teams coach Flemming – his unit played about as poorly as possible. He will have a rough week of meetings.
Starting Offensive Line – the line showed inconsistent push in the run game and Carson Palmer was harrassed in the pocket all night. The line has potential but still needs to put everything together. Today's performance was unacceptable by a seasoned line that has high expectations.

'Red Tails' Poster Is as Action-Packed as Any Blockbuster
It's hard to know what to make of the upcoming war drama Red Tails.
Director Anthony Hemingway helmed the zombie-Halloween episode of Community and a bunch of CSIs. The writing team is made up of Aaron McGruder, creator of The Boondocks, and John Ridley, who penned Undercover Brother and was a writer for The Fresh Prince of Bel Air. The poster below does suggest some serious business, though. The story recounts the Tuskegee Airmen: a group of African American military aviators who flew during WWII.

Taylor Swift highest paid young celebrity
Singer Taylor Swift edged out teen heart-throb Justin Bieber as the highest-earning celebrity under 30, taking in $57 million (Dh209 million), as women dominated the top spots on a list released by Forbes.com on Thursday.
Bieber, who brought in an estimated $55 million, was the only male among the top five earners, who included Rihanna at No 3 with $53 million, followed by Lady Gaga and Katy Perry.
"We are seeing a convergence of these talented women who know how to work the system," said Dorothy Pomerantz, the Los Angeles bureau chief for Forbes.
"The things they have in common, obviously they write great hits, are strong personalities. That really helps them from a publicity point of view. They connect with their fans," she added.
Kristen Stewart, who was the highest paid actress last year with an estimated $34.5 million in earnings, captured the No 7 spot and was the only actress in the top 10.
Stewart, a lead player in the The Twilight Saga films, also had a hit with Snow White and the Huntsman and is considered one of Hollywood's up-and-coming stars.
Her co-star in the Twilight films and real-life boyfriend, Robert Pattinson, came in at No 10 with earnings of $26.5 million.
"Twilight has done wonderful things for these kids' bank accounts," said Pomerantz, adding that they are now making $12 million per film in the franchise. "What will be telling is how they do post-Twilight."
To compile the list Forbes analysed album and concert sales, movie earnings, profit participation, advertising work and endorsements between May 2011 and May 2012. Managers, lawyers, agents and other insiders were also consulted.

WATCH: Occupy Iowa Caucus video by Anonymous
The Des Moines Register reports:
A group "that has caught the attention of the FBI and taken credit for hacking into military and corporate websites has now claimed responsibility for creating a video that urges its supporters to shut down the Iowa caucuses."
Local authorities say they are aware of the video, are preparing for possible action by the group and are in contact with the presidential campaigns about the issue.
The group is believed to have no centralized operational leadership and is separate from the Occupy Des Moines participants.

Today, it's been announced that Shakira, for the second tournament running, is releasing an official song for the upcoming World Cup in Brazil this summer.
Unless Shakira is just releasing this off her own back there must presumably be two official songs being cobbled together for Brazil 2014, as FIFA have already confirmed that Pitbull (feat. Jennifer Lopez) has been tasked with churning out another of his vapid, worthless nonsenses to accompany the tournament.
Gawd knows.
Anyway, following on from the runaway success of Shakira's Fozzie Bear-inspired 2010 anthem for South Africa, "Waka Waka", comes "La La La". Two songs, three consonants, one vowel.
The song is apparently a direct copy+paste job of a song which appears on Mrs Pique's eponymous new album called "Dare", but with the lyrics subtly changed to include some astoundingly corny football references.
"Hear the whistle, kick the ball…"?
Giddy Aunt Amelia.

BROSSARD, Quebec — Top NHL draft pick Aaron Ekblad suffered a concussion in Canada's world junior exhibition game against the Czech Republic and will miss the rest of summer development camp.
The 18-year-old defenseman was hit hard during Monday night's 6-2 win over the Czech Republic and left the game. Hockey Canada says Ekblad is expected to be ready for Florida Panthers training camp in September.
Panthers general manager Dale Tallon echoed those sentiments, saying "We will closely monitor Aaron's health for the remainder of the offseason and expect him to be ready for our rookie camp in mid-September."
Ekblad played last season with the OHL's Barrie Colts.

Mila Tamihana, described by a family member as a "beautiful little angel", was found severely injured in the driveway of a Cartmel Ave, Massey, home at 12.37pm yesterday.
She lived there with her parents, Camita Broughton and Chadaz Tamihana, and her four sisters.
Police said family members found Mila and took her to Waitakere Hospital.
Doctors tried to revive the toddler, but her condition deteriorated quickly and she died.
Police investigating Mila's death said it could take days to establish what happened.
Detective Sergeant Eugene Pickett said last night it was unclear why Mila was in the driveway, who hit her and with what vehicle.
"At this stage we're speaking with family and neighbours, some of whom are understandably too distressed to speak to us yet."
Mila's grandfather, Harry Tamihana, last night said the family were distraught.
"Mum is blaming herself for not looking, but we don't know what happened, the police are investigating ... With this shared driveway it is really hard to turn around."
Mr Tamihana said Mila's aunt had taken her off the driveway earlier in the day.
Mila was the youngest of five daughters, the oldest aged 8.
"Mila was such a burst of sunshine. She's such a big part of our family. I would get here and she had such a strong voice and would come running out and greet me."
Mr Tamihana said everyone should take extreme care with children in driveways and around cars.
"You can't be vigilant enough. She was the youngest of five and now there is just four."
Ms Broughton and Mr Tamihana share the Y-shaped driveway with a neighbour.
Police would not say where in the driveway Mila was found, or where they thought she was hit.
She could have been in her family's section, the neighbours' or the shared part of the drive.
Safekids director Ann Weaver said Mila's death was tragic. She said the only way to prevent further deaths was to keep pushing the safety message.
"When we run a big campaign and talk about this a lot, the statistics tend to decrease," she said.
"But when it's forgotten for a while, then it starts happening again. What we have to do is continue to keep this in the forefront of people's minds."
Each year, at least five children die as a result of being hit by cars in driveways, and a child is hospitalised with injuries each week.
Mila's parents were too distraught to speak about her death last night.
They were being supported by a police iwi liaison officer and Victim Support.
Ms Broughton's sister, Aleishah, posted a message on Facebook hours after Mila died.
"Rest in peace our beautiful little angel Mila," she wrote. "Aunty can't describe the pain and hurt we are all going through, especially your mummy and daddy and four sisters.
"Honey, God has called you home too soon ... I feel numb, in shock, upset ... Your cousins are going to miss you like crazy."
Aleishah Broughton posted a second message soon after, apparently taking exception to people making comments about her sister's care of Mila.
"My sister is the best mother out. You don't know the full story."
Neighbours did not know of the tragedy until police arrived.
Mrs Weaver said the "glorious" weather meant many people were leaving doors open, which increased the chance of tragedy.
"It's very easy for a child to run outside so quickly, without you realising they have disappeared."

PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. - The 10th-ranked Georgia men's golf team stands in 11th place heading into the final round of the Mercedes-Benz Collegiate Championships.
The Bulldogs opened the spring portion of their schedule Monday by firing scores of 16-over-par 302 and 2-under 286 in the opening rounds at Sawgrass Country Club (par-72, 6,895 yards) for a 588 total. Augusta State is leading the tournament at 10-under 566. The Bulldogs are tied for 11th with Duke.
The final round of the Mercedes-Benz Collegiate Championships will take place today.
Freshman Taylor Crosby, an Athens native making his Georgia debut, led the Bulldogs with a two-round total of 2-over 146 (75-71). Crosby is 10 shots behind tournament leader Dustin Bray of North Carolina (136).
Sophomore Ryan Hybl (76-71) and freshman Kevin Kisner (76-71) followed Crosby at 3-over 147, while freshman Richard Scott (75-73) carded a 4-over 148 and sophomore David Denham (76-73) checked in at 5-over 149.
Coach Chris Haack was pleased his team bounced back in the second round. The 2-under 286 was the second-lowest tally of the round in the 16-team field.
''I thought our guys showed a lot of pride in the second round,'' Haack said. ''It would have been easy to mail it in after we struggled in the first round, but they responded well and played a solid round.''

Hotel giants fall victim to spam attack on Google
Google has confirmed it is working to fix an attack on big brand hotels including Marriott and Hilton, which sees links to their websites redirected to a third party.
The search giant declined to make an official comment except to say it was aware of the issue.
Tnooz was contacted anonymously late-last week with information showing some hotel URLs had been compromised.
Google would not comment on how long it had known about the issue or how it had happened.
The apparently hijacked links, which list "roomstobook" as the website address under the property details, appear in Google+ Local which also serves results to Google Maps and in search.
The "roomstobook" link in turn directs users to hotel reservation site, Hotelswhiz.
A search for Roomstobook.net (one of the URLs used) redirects to the Hotelswhiz site, although it is not known if the apparent spam attack has anything to do with the hotel booking site.
Screenshots forwarded to Tnooz, show listings for big brands such as Hilton and Holiday Inn with the roomstobook (.net or .info) URL next to them.
The following screenshot, showing the roomstobook.info URL against Holiday Inn properties, was taken a few days ago:
A second screenshot taken today (15 January) shows that although the "roomstobook" address is still visible, there is also a "book at HolidayInn.com message".
NB: See this report from Search Engine Land for more detailed analysis.
NB2: Tnooz has attempted to contact Hotelswhiz for comment on the story.

There's not really much of a verification process to claim listings. Also there's not much documentation on how to fix issues with Google's Hotel Finder. More security, verification, and documentation is definitely needed.
First ask google to remove it and then redo it back to where it should be, insted of ask them to fix that. Think smart
I've noticed that Google is losing control of listings more frequently over the past year. We've been battling an incorrect address on one of our hotel's Google+ listings for months now – A completely made-up address that Google can't seem to fix within their system. "Our technical team is working on it, we don't have an estimated completion date……" is the most helpful thing we've heard.

If anything, you should learn your mobile phone company isn't your friend when it comes to looking out for your financial interests. You're the one who has to make sure your bill is correct, and dispute anything on it you don't understand or think has been put on without your authorization. If you aren't proactive and scan your bill each month, you might be paying a lot more for your phone service than you should be.
T-Mobile strongly denied the FTC's allegations and placed blame on the third-party vendors for the charges. The practice in question is when third-party vendors charge a customer for something they unknowingly signed up for, or listed through other fraudulent means. The fees are often for such services as horoscope information, celebrity gossip and other similar services. When this happens, it's called "cramming" in mobile phone industry. Phone companies have a financial reason not to automatically take these charges off of customers' bills since the mobile phone company can earn as much as 40% of the fee as their cut.
The question is, what can you do to prevent these charges on your own mobile phone bill? The FTC offers a variety of tips to avoid being scammed in this way.
- If you never use third-party services, see if your mobile phone company offers a third-party block service. Many do at no cost, and this will help ensure these charges don't end up on your bill.
- Refrain from inputting your mobile phone number on any website that's not secure.
- If you begin noticing unsolicited text messages coming to you on your phone, this could be a sign a service is billing you for something you never signed up for. Pay special attention to your next bill to make sure there are no new charges on it.
- Look for small fees ($9.99 is the most common, but any fee under $10 which is easy to miss or overlook). Any fee you see on your bill you don't understand 100%, call your provider to inquire what that bill is for. Your carrier should be able to explain exactly what the charge is for and what company is making it. If it's from a third-party company you never signed up for, immediately dispute the charge to get it removed.
- When scanning your bill, look for generic sounding fees along the lines of "use fee," "member fee," or "subscription fee." On T-Mobile, the FTC complaint noted the charges were called "Usage Charges," so be on the lookout for something similar.
- If you feel that you have been a victim of cramming, contact the FTC either online or call 1-877-FTC-HELP (1-877-382-4357).

Toni Lydman was given a seat for the Ducks' home game Sunday against Colorado and Luca Sbisa was in the Staples Center press box Monday as a healthy scratch for their matchup against the Kings.
The Ducks have seven bona fide NHL defensemen and that is one too many for the lineup each night. It also means that Ben Lovejoy is playing well enough to stay in the rotation.
Lovejoy has certainly impressed Coach Bruce Boudreau since the Ducks acquired him from Pittsburgh on Feb. 6 in the early part of the club's most recent trip. The cost was a 2014 fifth-round draft pick.
"He's been good," Boudreau said. "He can skate. He's a right-handed shot that gives you something that we hadn't had before. When you're passing it up the boards to somebody on the right side, you're able to move it as a right-hander than a lefty.
"If you haven't played it, it's difficult sometimes. You're taking the puck on your backhand all the time. It gives us a little bit of help there. But he's been consistent. And he's fit right in well with the guys. I think he's done a real good job."
Lovejoy has stayed in the lineup even with Cam Fowler back after missing eight games because of a head injury. He is also logging significantly more playing time than with the Penguins, averaging 18 minutes a night.
In Pittsburgh, Lovejoy was the odd man out on the Penguins' blue-line mix with several promising prospects also knocking on the door. Now with the Ducks, the five-year veteran says "this has been a blast, just being part of things."
"I feel like my game is getting better," he said. "I've been playing more minutes than I've ever played before. I feel like it's really helped me to become comfortable out there. I feel like I'm contributing positively now."
Lovejoy's signature moment to date came in a recent victory over Columbus in which he stripped winger Derek Dorsett clean of the puck, which led to Bobby Ryan hitting Peter Holland in stride for a breakaway goal.
There have been some recent struggles as the New Hampshire native has been a minus-1 in each of the past three games. The main thing Lovejoy concerns himself with is fitting into a reworked defense corps that has largely played well.
"I really didn't want to mess things up," he said. "The guys in this room have figured out how to win hockey games. I wanted to be an asset and to be a part of that. To just help this team continue to get better."
Boudreau didn't want to call Lovejoy an upgrade over Jordan Hendry and Nate Guenin in that seventh defenseman role but it is clear the Ducks view him as more than an extra available body.
"We've liked Jordan Hendry and we really like Nate Guenin," Boudreau said. "But it's given it us added depth. When that happened, it gives you more options when everybody's healthy to play. That benefits us greatly."
The Ducks, who have five games in seven days this week, didn't practice Tuesday but recalled winger Emerson Etem from Norfolk of the American Hockey League while sending Holland back to the Admirals.
Etem, 20, played in eight games with the Ducks earlier this season and recorded his only two points in a 7-4 triumph over the Kings on Feb. 2.
In 45 games with the Admirals this season, Etem has 13 goals and three assists. The Long Beach native became the 13th Southern California-born and trained player to appear in an NHL game.
Holland, 22, was scratched in Monday's night 5-2 loss to the Kings. He has a goal in five games with the Ducks this season.

The pointer operators : & (reference) and * (dereference)
Pointers are one of the more complicated subjects for beginners in learning C, and it is possible to write the vast majority of Arduino sketches without ever encountering pointers. However for manipulating certain data structures, the use of pointers can simplify the code, and and knowledge of manipulating pointers is handy to have in one's toolkit.
Based on the reference originally written by Arduino Community, wiring.org.co and arduino.cc
