[First published February 14, 205] When I fist started my studies of war and peace as an undergraduate in 1956 there was no peace studies or peace research generally identified as such. There were well known scientists and scholars working on war, international conflict, and peace (I will let war stand for all three related interests), however, such as Lewis Fry Richardson, Quincy Wright, Karl Deutsch, and Harold Guetzkow. In the early 1960s, their work and that of others began to form a critical mass that researches soon identified as peace research (or peace science). I was one of those that promoted this by my MA thesis, Ph.D. dissertation, and subsequent publications on the causes and conditions of war and violence. The idea was to apply to the study of war the scientific method that had been so successful in physics and medicine, conjoined with solid scholarship.
Peace research is now a concentrated field of study, with such excellent researchers and scholars as Bruce Russett, Nils Petter Gleditsch, and J. David Singer, and such rigorous journals as the Journal of conflict Resolution and the Journal of Peace Research. Much of our understanding of war causation and conditions have come out of peace research, as has the modern conception and empirical substantiation of the democratic peace. My web site is a peace research one.
However, peace is a political term, and a favorite among those on the far left. Now, I want to be careful here not to use too broad a brush. There are peace studies organizations, programs, and departments that are doing very good peace research. But they are in a small minority. Of peace studies as whole, however, it has attracted many of the anti-war, peacenik, and leftists who see peace as a flag in the struggle for ideological supremacy, or don't know any better. Thus, much of what comes out of this group displays ignorance, and deep misunderstanding of war and international relations; or are diatribes and propaganda, largely against the United States. You know the mantras—American imperialism, war for oil, or murder of millions (Johan Galtung, a major organizer and entrepreneur of such peace studies has claimed that the U.S. has murdered six million); inequality the cause of war; capitalist hegemony; 9/11 was terrorists getting even; and so on.
Now, the peace studies industry has overshadowed peace research, as shown by the link below, and few outside of the field know the difference. This is too bad, but what I suppose one should expect, given that peace studies is imbedded in the left-wing academic culture. And I believe it will remain that way until American universities, as least, return to true academic freedom and political diversity of thought.

"Peace Studies' War Against America" (4/30/03) By Greg Yardley
"Peace studies is hardly a mainstream course of study in America, but it just might be the latest academic fad. Over two hundred and fifty colleges and universities in North America offer 'Peace Studies' programs; many allow students to obtain complete graduate or undergraduate 'Peace Studies' degrees. If trends continue, more are on their way. That's unfortunate – from the first major study of Peace Studies programs, a cutting pamphlet by human rights activist Caroline Cox and conservative philosopher Roger Scruton, these programs have been condemned as incoherent, incapable of being a serious topic of study, and loaded with political bias. . . .
"Unfortunately, these Peace Studies courses are nothing more than the academic bastion of the 'blame America first' crowd. America is presented as the aggressor in the Cold War, as a society founded on militarism, colonialism, and oppression, and as a society that sustains itself through racism, sexism, and class conflict.

Conan Nolan, of NBC Los Angeles shot some video as he was racing across the Des Moines Convention Center on Jan, 3, during the Iowa Caucus tabulations.
As he made his mad dash, however, he stumbled upon Google's presence at the event.
Google set up a massive Hangout, complete with laptops, fancy banners and displays, food, and beanbag chairs.
U.S. & World
Google has been making a solid push to show off their new social network. The TV commercials and celebs popping up have helped grow their numbers impressively since they launched last summer.
There seems to be a clear bond growing between G+ and news organizations, as people start to figure out what to do with the service. It's interesting to see Google having such a large presence amongst the other journalists at the event.
Check out Nolan's video below:

|Device: Cryo-Touch III Device
|Not Applicable
Over 100 million patients in the United States suffer from chronic pain. Chronic pain conditions are often debilitating, taking a toll on a patient's physical and mental welfare. Though a variety of pain management techniques currently exist, the most common nonsurgical options provide slow-acting and/or short-term relief. Medication, often in the form of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and opioids, comes with an array of side effects such as nausea and vomiting. Medication also presents the possibility of more serious effects such as increased risk of heart attack and stroke, and tolerance or dependency issues. Surgical strategies tend to be reserved for more severe cases and are limited by the risks and complications typically associated with surgery including bleeding, bruising, scarring, and infection. A nonsurgical, minimally invasive, long-lasting approach to chronic pain management is desirable.
Myoscience, Inc. (Redwood City, CA) has developed a pain management device - the Cryo-Touch III - for a novel, minimally invasive procedure using focused cold therapy to target sensory nerve tissue and offer long-lasting pain relief through cryoanalgesia. The device operates on the well-established cryobiology principle that localized exposure to controlled, moderately, low temperature conditions can alter tissue function. The therapy treats nerves via a probe in the form of an assembly of small diameter needles, creating a highly localized, low temperature treatment zone around the probe. This focused cold therapy creates a conduction block that prevents nerve signaling. Prior studies of the Cryo-Touch, Cryo-Touch II, Cryo-Touch III (a.k.a. PCP 1.0) devices have provided preliminary evidence of effectiveness on motor nerves and have been shown to be safe with no serious device-related adverse events.
Though studies have proven efficacious in targeting motor nerves, the device's effect on sensory nerves has yet to be investigated in the clinical setting. The goal of the study described herein is to evaluate the degree and duration of effect of the Cryo-Touch III in reducing chronic pain by targeting sensory nerves.

The nutcracker has the most powerful avian memory so far identified. Native to the large Rocky Mountains in North America and the Grand Canyon, it lives on pine nuts that are edible for only a few weeks in September. Therefore, it stores them for later consumption. The distance between the pine trees and the storage site may sometimes be as much as 20 km (12.4 miles). It buries the nuts by placing them in the hard soil in a single movement; sometimes it leaves a stone on top as a marker. Over the course of three hectic weeks, the nutcracker collects nuts constantly. As it flies, it remembers the land's contours, the trees it has visited, and the rock faces, all of which it adds to its mental map.
The nutcracker has to remember where it has buried 100,000 nuts along a portion of the Grand Canyon that measures hundreds of kilometers throughout this short but productive period. This is how it survives for the rest of the year. During winter, it has to remember the markers like a photograph, because the snow changes the landscape and renders the markers invisible. Nevertheless, it manages to locate 90% of the buried 100,000 pine nuts. (http://en.wikipedia.org/
It is impossible for a bird to know that the food it needs will not be available after a certain period of time and that it has to collect and hide enough to survive. How did it learn how much food to collect at which time, where to store it, and how to find all of the 100,000 pine nuts again under the snow? Yet it does all of these things flawlessly, for like all other living entities, it acts according to Allah's inspiration. Only the supervision and assistance of its Creator and the One Who inspires it to do certain things enables it to find its stored food, which has become invisible, without difficulty.
This amazing creation of Allah, Who observes all created entities and showers unlimited, boundless, and unknowable mercy upon them at all times, is plain for all to see. The details exhibited in such a tiny bird once again reveals His Might and greatness in the finest manner possible.
How many creatures do not carry their provision with them? Allah provides for them, and He will for you. He is the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing. (Surat al-'Ankabut, 60)2016-08-20 18:06:00

Erick Erickson gives graphic response to Greta Van Susteren
Fox News contributer and RedState editor Erick Erickson took a graphic shot at Fox News host Greta Van Susteren on Monday evening after she criticized his characterization of Texas gubernatorial candidate Wendy Davis.
In a post on RedState, Erickson thanked Van Susteren for bringing attention to Davis and the issue of abortion before calling the gubernatorial candidate "a one issue wonder heralded by the press because she is a high priestess of the secular religion's sacred sacrament — slaughtering children on the altar of Moloch."
"That Greta Van Susteren is offended by me, thinks me creepy and a jerk, and thinks I should not be listened to is of no harm or consequence to me," he wrote. "I applaud her willingness to give greater exposure to my tweets because it causes more people to dig into Wendy Davis. And the more they dig the more they find her only issue is abortion. Single issue candidates whose only issue is abortion do not do well."
Then he offered this graphic paragraph about what he thinks Davis believes:
Wendy Davis believes it is perfectly acceptable to crack open a child's skull, inject her cranium with saline, vacuum out her brains, then tear her limb from limb unstitching her from her mother's womb even though a minute, an hour, a day, a week, or a month later she could survive outside the womb. Wendy Davis has staked her career on the right to chop a child to bits, no matter how viable the child is. The media prefers to ignore that to which Wendy Davis staked her career. They'd prefer to focus on her, as Vogue described her, "Barbie looks" and pink sneakers.
So, there's that. Van Susteren has yet to respond directly to Erickson, only noting on Tuesday that she's trending on Yahoo "just for calling out some guy." Since criticizing Erickson, she's turned her attention to criticizing Davis for not pushing back against supporters who had a blog post that reads, "Stand with Texas Women Rally in Austin." Where's the harm in that? Van Susteren believes the word "stand" is "covertly referencing that her opponent — Attorney General [Greg] Abbott — is in wheel chair."
The evidence for that is, shall we say, sparse.

Apple's Chinese supply chain will produce the company's largest iPhone next month, according to reports.
The Chinese supply chain will be creating two models, an iPhone with a 4.7-inch display and another with a 5.5-inch screen to ship in September, according to Bloomberg News. The larger display is part of a growing trend of larger devices, especially those in China where 40 percent of mobile devices have 5-inch displays or larger.
Apple's "chief weapon" is its popular iPhone and it needs a hit with the latest version and hopes are being pinned on the larger iPhone. Apple declined to comment on the new report.
The new iPhones are also reportedly more round and thinner than previous models, and the new specs make the production more complex. Apple is reportedly creating new iPhone designs with rounded glass and new sensors.
The new iPhone will be widely anticipated. Apple hopes it will be a financial success and others, mainly its rivals, will wait to see if it will be a failure for the tech company.

In this interview with W.R. Mitchell (WRM), Marie Hartley (MH) and Joan Ingilby (JI) reminisce about life in the Dales from the 1920s onwards. Marie Hartley describes the use of backcans to milk cows outdoors.
Marie Hartley became interested in the Yorkshire Dales when she went on walking holidays in the 1920s with Ella Pontefract. Later they would visit with their caravan, taking a week or two to travel across the Dales. During these trips they would collect items which can now be seen in the Dales Countryside Museum.

Thanks hone,
i think i finally understand what you have done and meant.
but i'm still not sure how much sense it makes to examine a grid, from which is known that there are multiple solutions, by using UR-elimination, which is only valid if the grid has a unique solution.
it seems to me you have created a new variation of Str8ts, with the additional rule that UR-elimination is allowed, no matter if its justified from the original rules or not.

HONOLULU—Marine researchers are facing a 15 March deadline for weighing in on how the National Science Foundation (NSF) should set priorities for U.S. ocean science over the next decade.
"Now is the time to speak up—we're looking for ideas," said oceanographer Shirley Pomponi, the co-chair of a blue ribbon panel charged with advising NSF on the issue, here on Tuesday at the 2014 Ocean Sciences Meeting. The priority-setting effort comes as U.S. ocean scientists voice increasing concerns about the future of their field, which is struggling to sustain a robust research fleet and adapt to stagnating funding.
To address such issues, last year NSF officials asked the panel, organized by the Ocean Studies Board of the National Research Council (NRC), to develop "a compelling research strategy for increased understanding of the oceans over the decade 2015-2025." NSF is one of the major funders of marine research; its oceans office has spent some $350 million annually over the past few years, and the agency has played a major role in building costly new ships, automated seafloor observatories, and networks of instrumented buoys and floats.
As money has gotten tighter, however, ocean researchers have sometimes disagreed about science and spending priorities. For example, some have argued for investing in robotic instruments rather than new ships.
The NRC panel hopes to help defuse such internal conflicts by developing a long-term consensus plan similar to those adopted by astronomers and physicists. Its Decadal Survey of Ocean Sciences, scheduled to be released in early 2015, is supposed to identify both high-priority research projects and the infrastructure needed to conduct them. And it will examine how NSF could work with other federal agencies, such as NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, to fund research.
To fuel its discussions, the panel—co-chaired by Pomponi and former U.S. Navy oceanographer David Titley of Pennsylvania State University—is first surveying researchers, asking them to identify three top research priorities within and outside of their disciplines, as well as three ideas for needed technology or infrastructure. The panel has set up a website to collect the responses and has so far gotten about 200, but would like to see more by the mid-March deadline.
The next step, Pomponi says, will be to whittle the suggestions down to a manageable number. "We're thinking no more than 10 priorities," she told an audience at the meeting. And she's hoping that a consensus will emerge: "We don't want this to be a food fight among the different disciplines of ocean sciences."

Work it, working girl!
Ashley Dupre, the infamous call girl who took down "Luv Gov" Eliot Spitzer, strutted her stuff on the catwalk during a green fashion show at Fashion Week yesterday.
The curvy brunette paraded down the runway during the Bahar Shahpar fashion show in a body-hugging high-waisted gray skirt, a matching clingy top and electric blue heels as part of the GreenShows, reported ecouterre.com.
"Everyone likes an underdog story, and everyone likes a comeback," the ex-hooker told the New York Post earlier this week. "I'm the poster child for redemption."
The former escort has been recording music, trying to get a record deal and working on a book, the paper reported.
"I didn't ask for it, but now that I have it, it's up to me to take advantage of this platform and do something amazing. I have a voice now," she told The Post.
As for fashion, it's not the first time the former street walker was spotted at the catwalk during Fashion Week. Designer Yigal Azrouel fumed when the ex-hooker was seated in the front row of his Fall/Winter 2009 runway show and fired his PR firm, People's Revolution.
"I didn't invite her, but I wasn't going to kick her out or turn her away. We know one another, we're friends," People's Revolution founder Kelly Cutrone told the New York Daily News last February.

I own a H1, but have only played a couple of times with the Mamiya.I felt that:- the viewfinder of the H1 was larger and brighter,- the Fuji lenses are really top notch in terms of sharpness, but then again the Mamiya lenses are said to be no slouch either,- the feel of the H1 is nice and it does have some neat features like built-in zone system spot metering, combined MLU and timer,...- the AF is fast and accurate.On the downside:- the battery life of the H1 is pretty short,- my body (with an old firmware) is pretty buggy, sometimes lenses or the viewfinder are not recognized,... the H2 is said to be better,- the H1 is heavy, and so are the lenses.All in all, the H1 is IMHO not the best camera for landscape work, which is probably why I hardly use mine anymore... until I get a digital back at some point of time. Regards,Bernard[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=61335\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
Thank you so much for your remarks, gentlemen. They have been quite helpful, since I don't know anyone shooting with either camera brand/format nor have I had any experience with them myself.At this point my plans are to pursue the Mamiya 645 AFD II or the original AFD. While the Hasselblad might have a brighter viewfinder (and more cache) the Mamiya will likely meet my (probably) occasional needs more practically and economically.[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=61379\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
It's a little ironic that people are talking about the choice being reduced to Mamiya v Hasselblad.Mamiya has announed some time ago that they sold off their camera business, so that's a big unknown.Secondly, Rollei is still in business and the 6008 AF is an impressive camera! Flash sync up to 1/1000 on fast lenses. Who else does that? Plus the various metering modes. Definitely worth a look.HiFrom a good source I heard that MF sales in 2002 ( 25,000), 2003 (12000) and 2004 (4500) WORLDWIDE! In that time period Contax and Bronica have gone. Hasselblad & Imacon are owned by a Chinese company. Jenopic buys Sinar. Pentax keeps stalling? Who knows maby MF will come back? I still believe the quality is better than 35D. Also about a year ago I was buying a Mamiya 150mm AFD lens off of Adorama for $ 450.00 USD a bargain for this quality of glass but market price used. We got into a discussion and I was asking him about the Canon 1Ds MKII .... the waiting list was 200 and they were selling 200 units/week!!! Think about that what was B&H doing etc etc. I still don't know what the worldwide sales for MF (2005). It is no wonder that Mamiya has been sold but at least they are affordable in a shrinking MF market. At the moment there are 4 players in MFD Hasselblad/Imacon, Sinar/Rollie/Jenoptic, Phase and Leaf. The only camera left is Mamiya not to be directly associated with a MFD Back company and how long will that last? Sony & Nikon have just announced 10mp under $1000.00 USD. Wedding photographers who used to use MF have basicly switched to 35D here in Australia. This is not like 20 years ago when MF was healthy, digital has changed that. I still love the format (MF) but most photographers are not using it anymore. Thaks Denis

UK government departments have a green light to use iPhones and other iOS 6 devices for handling sensitive emails. The move may encourage civil servants and ministers to toss their BlackBerries to the wind, provided they don't have to read anything that's more than mildly important.
For years RIM's BlackBerry handsets were the only mobile kit accredited for accessing sensitive information by the Communications-Electronics Security Group. CESG is a GCHQ branch tasked with shoring up computer defences in banks, power stations and other critical systems in Blighty.
But the long-term viability of RIM, which has suffered a steady decline in smartphone market share, and improvements in the security of the iPhone operating system iOS have prompted a rethink on the use of Cupertino's Jesus mobe in government.
In a statement, CESG explained that it updated its guidance on the suitability of iOS 6 devices (available for the iPhone 3GS onwards, and iPad 2 and later models) to support the handling of sensitive emails:
CESG is currently working on updates and enhancements to a number of our mobile security guidance documents. As part of this work CESG has published risk management guidance for iOS 6 devices for protecting sensitive emails - up to and including Impact Level 3 depending on local risk management decisions. The guidance is based on existing CESG security procedures for iOS, but includes updated guidance, additional technical controls and improvements to user guidelines to more effectively manage identified risks with mobile working
Government emails and documents are categorised into one of seven levels that describe the impact caused were the file to leak - from zero for no impact to six for severe. Level 3, now appropriate for accessing with iOS 6 devices, sits in the middle of this spectrum. Typically, information deemed protected, restricted, confidential, secret or top secret fall into levels 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6, respectively.
CESG recommends iPhones and iPads running the latest system of iOS are fortified with additional defences: network monitoring and protections need to be extended, and users should switch on security features bundled in iOS 6.
UK government departments use as many as 20,000 BlackBerry devices which are still considered secure - but the gap between RIM's and Apple's software is narrowing. iOS6 on its most restricted settings, perhaps enforced by third-party tools, is now considered a viable option for sensitive emails, at least.
Full device encryption; remote-wiping capabilities so data can be purged from lost or stolen devices; rock-solid separation of software into sandboxes; an operating system free of security holes; and locking down apps to prevent users from installing leaky apps are key features in any mobile OS to make it suitable for use in either government or large enterprises.
The government is also reportedly considering whether to open up the option of using smartphones running either Android or Windows mobile to handle sensitive information. This fits with the wider bring-your-own-device trend that IT managers in corporates have been grappling with for some months. Corporate security managers we've spoken to tend to accept the need to support email and calendar functions on users' own smartphones, tablets or laptops. Instant-messaging apps can sometimes fall into this category.
However corporates are far more reluctant when it comes to opening up sales, enterprise resource planning and supply-chain applications to phones they don't own.
Rik Ferguson, director of research at net security firm Trend Micro, told El Reg that the quality of the mobile device management features bundled with iOS is approaching the sophistication of security features build into BlackBerry's technology, which hasn't been updated for some months.
Although iOS started off as a consumer technology, it is now possible to turn off features such as iCloud backups which would be a concern for any enterprise worried about keeping control of sensitive information in its own hands. It's also possible to disable application like Siri and prevent the installation of new unapproved apps among other features explained in greater depth in a security guide from Apple here.
Trend Micro's audit of the security of mobile OS earlier this year found BlackBerry to be the most secure, followed by iOS, Windows Mobile and Android.
Android is moving towards offering enterprise-friendly security features but is further back on this path than iOS. For example, Android only recently supported full device encryption. "iOS is a tight ship and closed but with Android there's no uniformity," according to Ferguson.
Windows Phone is "unproven" while the multiplicity of different versions of Android mean that any government accreditation would be for a specific version of the OS on a specific smartphone, according to Ferguson. ®

Well, folks, it's that time of year again, time to dust off the New Year's Resolutions and plan for the coming year's work.
This year, I've resolved not to make any more resolutions. My to-do list is already quite full, thanks to my conversion to David Allen's organizational system. If you're wondering, I use OneNote as my base note-keeping device, but I'm having a problem finding a good calendaring system. In 2012, I used my standard annual pocketbook-sized calendar (a day planner) and experimented with coupling it with Google's online calendar. It didn't really work out as well as I had hoped, so for the coming year I'm trying something different. I'm keeping my day planner but moving up to the notebook size. I'm also using an office-oriented (i.e. no pictures) wall calendar with one month per page so that I can see everything that's going on each month and plan my days accordingly.
I put a lot of things on my calendars, from the standard family birthdays to mileage to all of the genealogy institutes and society meetings that are important to me, even if I don't plan to attend. Deadlines go in a different color and are underlined if they can't be revised or missed. All events go in my day planner in one to three places, depending upon the event. Institutes, for instance, are entered under Important Dates, the pertinent month-at-a-glance, and then on each day they're scheduled to be held. Finally, they're written onto the wall calendar. Again, I do this even if I'm not planning to attend a given institute, if for no other reason than so that I can keep up with some of the major comings and goings in the genealogy world.
Hopefully, this system will help me stay on track in 2013. I'm not a super organized person, but the older I get, the more things I have going on. All these calendars may seem like overkill, but if they keep me from missing something important, then that's good enough in my book.

Three keys for Red Sox vs. Rays in ALDS
Going deep into starts crucial for rotation; lineup must wear out opposition
BOSTON -- The baseball-crazed city of Boston felt a little lost when Fenway Park was shut down for business the last three postseasons. So you can expect a certifiable buzz in the air when the Red Sox open their American League Division Series against the Tampa Bay Rays on Friday (3 p.m. ET, TBS) at Fenway Park.
As exhilarating as the regular season was for the Red Sox, who reeled off 97 wins for their first division title since 2007, they know that the postseason is a whole new chapter.
"We're real excited," said Jonny Gomes. "One hundred sixty-two games and six months is not even an appetizer for what is about to happen."
In the postseason, every pitch becomes magnified. Every situation becomes important.
Here are three keys for the Red Sox to win this best-of-five series against a division foe.
Starters go deep, hand off to Koji
Red Sox pitching coach Juan Nieves doesn't tell his starters to give them six or seven quality innings. He challenges them to try to go eight. Though that doesn't always happen, it is a goal to reach for.
All season long, Boston has been at its best when the starting pitcher can go as deep as possible, shortening the bridge to dominant closer Koji Uehara. If the Red Sox have a question mark going into this series, it is their setup crew.
From Jon Lester to John Lackey to Clay Buchholz to Jake Peavy, the Red Sox have battle-tested veterans who enjoy the big moments. Now, Uehara will try to prove he can handle October as well as he did April-September.
Grind out Rays starters
Unlike Uehara, Tampa Bay closer Fernando Rodney hasn't had a dominant season. Therefore, the earlier the Red Sox can get to the Rays' starting pitchers, the more it weakens them.
All year long, the Red Sox have been relentless at the plate, not depending on any one here. Instead, they've gotten contributions throughout the starting nine and the bench. If the lineup can stay balanced, the Rays will be forced to pitch to Dustin Pedroia, David Ortiz and Mike Napoli instead of working around them.
The need for speed
Back in 2008, when these teams last met in the postseason, the Rays could run all over the place. The Red Sox? They'd sit back and wait for the three-run homer.
But manager John Farrell promised an aggressive -- but smart -- running attack on the day he was hired and his team has lived up to it.
The Sox have stolen 123 bases this season while getting caught just 19 times. Jacoby Ellsbury is coming off a compression fracture in his right foot, so it will be interesting to see if he can still have the same impact on the bases. Shane Victorino and Dustin Pedroia are also threats to steal.
Farrell will also send surprising runners in motion, as evidenced by four steals each from Jarrod Saltalamacchia and Ortiz.

Lamont, Malloy exchange barbs after debate
ROCKY HILL -- Ned Lamont and Dannel Malloy engaged in a mostly civil debate on Tuesday, but indicated that their aggressive advertisements would stay on the air in the run-up to the Aug. 10 Democratic gubernatorial primary.
Lamont, speaking to reporters afterward, offered to pull his attack ads if Malloy does the same.
While both men offer similar proposals to solve many of the state's problems, from the possibility of new highway tolls to promoting state industry, Malloy left the door open for higher income taxes for the wealthy.
Lamont opposed raising taxes before major savings are accomplished through spending reductions.
After the hour-long, head-to-head event, each candidate hurled barbs at the other while meeting with reporters in the studio at WFSB Channel 3, the state CBS affiliate.
Malloy, the former 14-year Stamford mayor, used both his opening and closing remarks to attack Lamont's business record and the sale of a residential unit of his cable-television operation that resulted in layoffs.
"He downsized his company by 70 percent," said Malloy, who is positioning himself as an experienced big-city mayor who is a better bet than Lamont's CEO experience.
"I don't think the principles that he talks about applying to government are going to work," Malloy told reporters, referring again to Lamont's sell-off of a division. "You can't cancel businesses, you can't close nursing homes. You can't do some of the things that he has proposed to do in so many different ways."
Malloy said Lamont "had some great one-liners, just like every CEO does. They get to do that sort of thing. This is real government. This is real people's lives."
Lamont, a Greenwich businessman who is ahead in the polls a week from the primary despite Malloy being endorsed by the party's May nomination convention, said Malloy's attack ads about alleged layoffs of his employees are false. Lamont said that he worked hard to find other jobs for former employees.
"He knows it's not true," Lamont said as he left the podium. Overall, Lamont described the debate as a good airing of the issues, until Malloy, using the last two minutes, went on the attack.
"I am different," Lamont said. "I'm somebody who is not afraid to go up to Hartford and challenge the old-boy network. I'm somebody who has started a business and created jobs. Dan has a very different type of experience. I think the people of Connecticut are going to say what is the No. 1 problem confronting the state and who has the best experience to confront it."
Lamont's TV commercials have included attacks on Malloy's use of city contractors to make improvements on his home in Stamford's Shippan neighborhood, for which Malloy was cleared by state prosecutors more than four years ago.
"That's TV, but the point is, if I was governor of the state of Connecticut, would I have a state contractor working on my home? No," Lamont said in answer to a reporter's question. "Would I be collecting money from people doing business with my state? No. For me, it's not a question of legality. For me it's a question of right and wrong."
Lamont said he would remove his attack ads from TV if Malloy does the same. "I told him at the last debate `let's take down these ads' and he said `I'll get back to you.' I still say let's take down these ads. Let's end on a positive note."
Lamont conceded that Malloy, who is participating in the state's voluntary public-financing program, made an impact, but called on reporters to hold Malloy accountable.
"Each and every one of you know that I took care of my employees, and when we sold off the division, I did everything I could to make sure each and every one of those guys kept the same job at the same terms and conditions," Lamont said. "I'm good friends with these people right now. I can respond to each and every one of these attacks on TV if you want, but I need the press, to say, `Look. I've looked at the charge, and here's my analysis.' "

Ezra Patchett's raw and playful style commissioning him to shoot editorials & covers for world renowned surf and skates titles.
After a successful stint shooting professionally in Australia, Patchett moved to London where he was quickly snapped up by magazines such as British Elle, Marie Claire UK, Vogue Spain, Vogue Mexico and Vogue Italy. This lead him onto New York working with brands like Nordstrom, Ralph Lauren, H&M, Tory Burch, Selfridges and Tommy Hilfiger.
Patchett most enjoys the opportunity to travel and collaborate with the best in his field, striving to create new, fresh images that appeal and inspire a greater audience.
Currently traveling between New York, Los Angeles, London and Europe, Patchett rarely misses an opportunity to go back to his roots and fit in a little surf and skate time where ever possible too.

George Lucas has yet to work in the new 3-D technology that is sweeping Hollywood, but the director told Access Hollywood that the success and achievements of "Avatar" could help bring "Star Wars" into the third dimension.
"I liked it. I make movies like that, [so], I can appreciate what [James Cameron] went through to do it," George Lucas told Access Hollywood at the HBO Golden Globes party on Sunday.
"[I'm] happy it's so successful, and worked very well in 3-D," he continued. "Haven't been a big fan of 3-D, but that movie definitely improves in (the field of) 3-D."
George was so impressed with the movie's technology – which took home the trophy for Best Motion Picture – Drama at the 2010 Globes – that he thinks it could help pave the way for creating 3-D versions of his "Star Wars" movies.
"We've been looking for years and years and years of trying to take 'Star Wars' and put it in 3-D," George explained to Access. "But, [the] technology hasn't been there. We've been struggling with it, but I think this will be a new impetus to make that happen."
First up, George is writing and producing "Red Tails," about the Tuskegee Airmen, the first African-American pilots to fly in a combat squadron during World War II.

Liberty receives the runner-up trophy at the 2013 CCSA Women's Swimming & Diving Championships.
Liberty claimed its second consecutive conference runner-up finish, placing second at the 2013 CCSA Women's Swimming & Diving Championships, held at Georgia's Gabrielsen Natatorium in Athens, Ga. The Lady Flames finished second, scoring 609 points, after registering 538.5 points in 2012. Florida Gulf Coast earned its fifth CCSA title in a row with 712 points. Georgia Southern (482.5 points) placed third, followed by College of Charleston (353.5), Gardner-Webb (349) and North Florida (330.5) in fourth through sixth place, respectively.

Kendall Hough placed fifth for the 200 backstroke, clocking a season-best 2:01.73. Liberty won the 400 freestyle relay in a conference-record time of 3:20.23. Brye Ravettine, Chloe Thomas, Cori Gary and Meghan Babcock swam on the winning relay on Saturday. Hannah Wakeley placed fourth in the 1,650 free, clocking a program-record 17:06.07. She also broke Liberty's 1000 freestyle record in the process, swimming her first 1000 in 10:21.99. Hannah Wakeley won the B final of the 200 fly, posting a personal-best 2:04.48, while Ranndi Grubbs' 2:06.85 gave her 13th overall. Hough placed 15th overall in the 100 freestyle, in 52.82, while Sarah McCorkle (52.82) finished 16th. Liberty qualified a program-best 15 swimmers for Saturday's finals, with 11 in A finals and four in B finals. During the morning session, Liberty broke four program records in prelims. Duff broke her own program record to place second in 200 back qualifying, at 1:59.96. Kendall Hough swam a season-best 2:02.45 to earn the fifth seed.

"If this becomes the worst loss in Avs history, my blog might get some more hits tomorrow."
It was not to be. The Avs lost 7-2 in a game that meant nothing to them. It should mean something to Tony Granato, who should, but won't be fired at the end of the season, but Tony, don't let me tell you what kind of emotion to show during a game.
Granato did talk about Wojtek Wolski, though.
Per Adrian Dater:
The first few games, we created something we thought was pretty special, at center. But his play leveled off pretty fast. He shows signs of brilliance, and then the consistency that we need out of a top-line center, he hasn't given us for the last, probably, month. It's something that he's capable of; he's still young, he's still got a lot to learn in different ways. But it's certainly something that we need as an organization, is for him to be (good, consistent, better). It's something that we have a lot riding on, with him. He's a big part of our team and we need him to be a consistent player, similar to the status that Paul has given us. Paul has only been here a few years, but Paul is consistent. He plays to an elite level all the time. Sometimes Woolly is a superstar, and other times it takes a while, or there's a few games where he's not at that level. I still think that he has to be a top-line center for us."
Now, don't freak out if my hockey instincts are off, but isn't it up to the head coach and assistant coach(es) to develop young players and make sure they play consistent hockey?
Jibbles has a chart that rivals those of James Mirtle.From Jibbles,
Even more important than the nhumbers, is that it's supposed to be the assistants job to build confidence in players and be the "good cop" to the head coaches "bad cop". Wolski, Svatos, Budaj, Liles and Hensick all seem to have had their confidence shattered at some point in the Granato era. Some of that is probably due to the overlapping of the Quenneville era, but it's Granato's job to build confidence too, and he's clearly failing in that regard.
With eight or so games left in the season, Granato is talking about consistency on a team that has been consistently inconsistent. It's annoying. It's sickening. I'm fed up.
But I'm a blogger in Philly. I don't pay to go to the games.
The Pepsi Center looks empty, by the way.
Maybe it's the inconsistency.
Lets hire some new coaches to make sure that the inconsistency is no longer consistent.

Tuesday afternoon, astronomers thought they saw a powerful explosion in the nearby Andromeda galaxy.
The Internet went wild with speculation about what it could be: Had two superdense neutron stars collided? Did a supermassive star explode?
"When I got up this morning and turned on my phone, I had a lot of emails and my Twitter feed was burning," says Phil Evans, an astronomer at the University of Leicester in Britain.
Evans is on a small team of intergalactic storm chasers. Their job is to spot gamma ray bursts, blasts of light from far-off violent explosions. These bursts are by far the most powerful explosions in the universe.
"During its entire normal lifetime, our sun will give off less energy than a gamma ray burst will in a few handfuls of seconds," Evans says.
The bursts are brief. So to catch them, astronomers have built a special satellite that scans the sky. When it thinks it sees a burst, it swivels to take a closer look.
It also sends a text alert to the astronomers' phones. There's a team on call, 24-7. The astronomers have a telephone conference and issue a report to other astronomers, telling them where in the sky to look for follow-up observations.
Yesterday afternoon's alert was particularly exciting because the Andromeda galaxy is relatively nearby. Normally gamma ray bursts are a lot farther away, so this would be a rare opportunity to study one up close.
Unfortunately, it wasn't a gamma ray burst that had been detected Tuesday. A software glitch had prevented some of the data from reaching the ground. It turned out to be a false alarm.
"In a sense we're to blame for putting something out there that wasn't true, but that's actually part of what the job involves at times," Evans says.
In the rapid-response world of gamma ray chasers, there's bound to be a few false alarms.
From NPR News, this is ALL THINGS CONSIDERED. I'm Melissa Block.
And I'm Robert Siegel. These days, news spreads faster than ever because of social media, and sometimes that reporting gets ahead of itself. That's what happened last night, when rumors began circulating of a massive explosion in outer space. NPR's Geoff Brumfiel has the story.
GEOFF BRUMFIEL, BYLINE: Yesterday, astronomers around the world got an urgent text message on their cell phones - something was happening in the next galaxy over. The astronomers talked. They issued a report. Then social media picked up on it.
PHIL EVANS: When I got up this morning and turned on my phone, I had a lot of emails, and my Twitter feed was burning.
BRUMFIEL: Phil Evans is an astronomer at the University of Leicester in the U.K. Twitter was abuzz with rumors that it was a gamma-ray burst, and gamma-ray bursts are the most powerful explosions in the universe.
EVANS: The total amount of energy given off by a gamma-ray burst in a few seconds is the equivalent of what you would get - are you ready? - hang on - one, two, three, four - from eating one-hundred-billion-billion-billion-billion packets of crisps.
BRUMFIEL: (Eating potato chips) That's more packets of potato chips than there are stars in the universe. But seriously, these things are huge.
EVANS: During its entire normal lifetime, our sun will give off less energy than a gamma-ray burst gives off in a few handfuls of seconds.
BRUMFIEL: These bursts come when giant stars explode and die. And they are very brief. To catch them, astronomers have had to turn into intergalactic storm chasers. They've built a special satellite that scans the sky. When it thinks it sees a burst...
EVANS: The whole spacecraft will automatically and very rapidly rotate round to point at the gamma-ray burst.
BRUMFIEL: It also sent that automated text alert to the astronomers that run it. The alert yesterday was exciting because the Andromeda Galaxy is right next door. So this would be a rare opportunity to study one up close. Unfortunately, it was a false alarm. A software glitch delayed the arrival of critical data.
EVANS: So in a sense we're to blame for putting something out there that wasn't true. But when you have things like gamma-ray bursts, where you have to react very, very quickly, you can't wait to get all of the full data.
BRUMFIEL: They'll keep looking. And by the way, if you're worried one of these massive explosions might fry the earth, don't.
EVANS: Compared to all the innovative ways humans have of killing themselves, you know, gamma-ray bursts are not something we need to worry about.
BRUMFIEL: Phew. Geoff Brumfiel. NPR News. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

- "A once great American airline now left with a fleet of aging deathtraps that they can no longer afford to repair or safety-check. Home of vinegary old hags and bitter fruit flight attendants."
- ―Description on the Liberty City National Exchange website.
FlyUS (stylised as flyUS and sometimes misspelled as FlyU6) is a prominent airline corporation featured in the HD Universe. It has purchasable stock actions on the Lcn-exchange.com website in Grand Theft Auto V.
FlyUS was founded in 1983, with the same era planes still in service. The flight attendants are described as old, cranky and miserable, and the air service is implied to be poor and uncomfortable, as a radio commercial describes "Sit back, relax and shut up". This could possibly be a stereotype of the behavior and attitude of American flight companies and its staff.
It is known to offer domestic, international and business flights.
It appears to be a parody of both US Airways (now merged with American Airlines) and United Airlines. The design of the logos also bear resemblances to that of FedEx and the British regional airline FlyBe.
A company named FlyUs does exist, however it is not a passenger airliner, and operates in the Netherlands and Belgium and Norway - yet, the real life FlyUs logo does bear a stunning resemblance to the GTA FlyUS logo.
Grand Theft Auto IV
In Grand Theft Auto IV, FlyUS appears to be the only airline serving Francis International Airport. While there are advertisements for other airlines, like AirSol and Adios Air, FlyUS is the only whose airplanes can be found. The airline fleet includes a large amount of planes based on the Boeing 747-300 and also some Shamal-like planes, seen parked around the airport with the FlyUS logo - although only the Jumbo jets are seen flying, and also taxiing onto the airport tarmac.
Additionally, multiple cars in the airport bearing the FlyUS logo can be found, such as the Feroci and the Perennial, as well as the Ripley and the Airtug. Some taxis and buses also bear FlyUS advertisements.
Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars
While no FlyUS planes are seen in the Chinatown Wars rendition of Francis International, FlyBoy, who supposedly is an employee of FlyUS, sends Huang Lee a spam mail claiming that the company has teamed up with the NOOSE, in order to give away free tickets to "rogue states" such as Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya and nearby countries with all expenses paid. Oddly, the company is misspelled as "FlyU6" in the e-mail.
In the last lines, he writes "When booking, please note that FlyU6 will not sell-on your private details to criminals, hackers, or terrorists (outside of the US)."
Grand Theft Auto V
In Grand Theft Auto V, FlyUS is one of the four international airlines serving Los Santos International Airport.
Despite, unlike Francis, not being the only airline predominant in Los Santos International, it still has a relevant presence: once again, the Airtug and the Ripley bear FlyUS logos, and there is also a hangar in the west vicinity of the airport bearing the logo of the airline. Advertisements for the company can be heard on the radio.
Unlike in GTA IV, the fleet includes controllable Shamals and Jets. FlyUS also owns some uncontrollable twinjets, which are seen transporting Michael De Santa to North Yankton in Bury the Hatchet and the multiplayer character to Los Santos in the introduction of Grand Theft Auto Online. After the events of Bury the Hatchet, a FlyUS ticket can be found on the desk in the hallway of the De Santa Residence, possibly being a backup or spare copy of the ticket Michael purchased to fly to Ludendorff.
Depsite the airline's description of using outdated aircraft, FlyUS in GTA V uses new Jets based on the more recent Boeing 747-400 and 747-8I.
Following the Legal Trouble mission, where Molly Schultz' panicked rampage across Los Santos International Airport causes extensive damage, FlyUS stock will decrease by approximately 50.2%. However it will more than rebound upon completion of Meltdown, whereby players can net an approximate 100.69% return on investment buy loading up on stock beforehand.
In Grand Theft Auto IV, the FlyUS livery is mostly light grey with a blue bottom, tailfin and engines, resembling the United Airlines 1993-2004 "Battleship Grey" livery.
The livery changes in Grand Theft Auto V. It is now a Eurowhite livery, with the bottom of the fuselage and the engines painted red - this is slightly similar to Scandinavian Airlines (SAS), however SAS doesn't have red-painted fuselage and blue winglets. It has "FlyUS" written on the sides like its GTA IV counterpart and the "US" on the aircraft fin. This appears to resemble a modern United Airlines livery.
The Shamal has almost the same livery, however it has blue painted engines and a red stripe over the body of the aircraft.
The wreck of a FlyUS plane can be found on an airplane graveyard in the Grand Senora Desert, bearing a similar livery to the one in GTA IV, with blue fuselage bottom, tailfin, and engines.
Known destinations
- Liberty City - Major presence in Francis International Airport.
- Los Santos - Major presence in Los Santos International Airport, seen in billboards.
- Vice City - Seen in billboards.
- Las Venturas - Seen advertised in billboards.
- North Yankton - Michael De Santa travels to Ludendorff on a FlyUS plane.
Incidents and accidents
While no FlyUS crashes are mentioned in Grand Theft Auto V, a sunken Jet can be found in the ocean, a few meters from the Paleto Bay shore, bearing a livery similar to the old grey and blue (the same version as found in the aircraft graveyard). The FlyUS logo is barely visible on the front piece of the aircraft. The lack of acumlated corals around the fuselage suggest it might have crashed in the sea not much before the events of the game.
Three submarine parts for the Death at Sea side mission can be found at the crash site.
Grand Theft Auto IV
Grand Theft Auto V
- There were five keychain viewfinders with pictures of Los Santos acquirable by pre-ordering Grand Theft Auto V from the American store Target, shaped similarly to jet engines, which feature a FlyUS logo on the side. They are now considerably rare and can only be found occasionally in eBay auctions.
- In GTA IV, cars owned by FlyUS bear 747s with the GTA V livery.
