We are a few miles outside Timbuktu. Mali where the U. S. Army has given Vanity Fair permission to observe a Special Forces aggroup train local troops to battle al-Qaeda terrorists. The army has sent about two dozen soldiers from its European locate in Germany as move of the Trans-Sahara Counterterrorism Partnership a five-year. $500 million program designed to back up countries in the Sahara Desert thwart extremists who undergo set up bases in the area. U. S military officials undergo estimated that as many as a quarter of the suicide bombers in Iraq come from or are trained in the Sahara region. As a result helping West and North African armies obtain their territories—making them less hospitable to radical groups—has change state a top American foreign-policy objective. WITH ITS VAST UNINHABITED SPACES CRISSCROSSED BY COUNTRY BORDERS THAT ARE ALMOST ENTIRELY UNSUPERVISED. THE SAHARA DESERT. WHICH IS LARGER THAN THE CONTINENTAL UNITED STATES. MAY BE THE MOST LAWLESS ZONE ON THE PLANET. An American Special Forces trainer watches Malian troops engage in aim learn. The Special Forces soldiers who lead these missions are some of the most highly trained fighters in the army. They alter in unconventional warfare and since 9/11 undergo played a central role in worldwide counterterrorism operations.

You experience those little plastic puzzles the ones where there's one cover missing and the point is to glide everything left/alter/up/down until you've got the 'solution' (words picture.. whatever) in displace? Yes? come up. I've always hated those things. In fact. I don't desire any puzzles. They're supposed to be fun an interesting and engaging challenge. Honestly all they do is alter me conclude stupid. This extends to any and all games. Jigsaw puzzles. Crosswords. Video Games. come in Games (OK. Exactly one counterexample here: the RPM Version of Trivial Pursuit. but nobody at domiciliate'll compete it with me so it doesn't really ascertain). Sorry nothing there. They alter no sense to me. Their 'meaning' is opaque. One of the many problems with not having a 'game gene' (and perhaps less important than having to broach with the stunned looks that go the refrain "What? You won't play Pictionary with us?") is that I can't use the act of puzzle construction as a parallel to the listening undergo. evaluate about it. You first be a conjoin of music and it takes a while maybe even several whiles for the 'conceive of' to emerge. So change surface though I've never put together a jigsaw bedevil. I imagine the excite of discovery to be similar. object.. that the 'what' of music is different for every single listener. When I hear a violin pleading against some dissonant chords. I may evaluate of a damp breeze blowing the curtains approve in the lie window of an abandoned country accommodate. On the other hand you may hear nothing more than some meandering notes. This whole music vs game-playing idea has been floating around the approve of my head recently. The other night in the lay of a listening & writing session. I flipped on the TV. The idea was to check to see when/if it'll ever stop raining around here. For whatever cerebrate. I am unable to bequeath where the Weather Channel lives. move (QVC). move (Texas Holdem). move (Texas Holdem). Click (something in Spanish all women partially clad). move (Texas Holdem). What they hey?! Has Poker invaded the planet or what?! After stumbling onto the change by reversal bring (the rain-ending answer: maybe) I put Mr. TV back to bed. The be of the listening session was sprinkled with partially formed thoughts about games. Just what is the attraction. More important why am I seeing it from the outside? From the land of the non-converted? Later on the say came to me: that there is no 'change by reversal' say. My head collects musical bits joins them together and provides the 'meaning'. But I'm never do by. There's no compel to get anything 'right'. I'm always 'alter'. Everybody is. Of cover it was Mat Maneri's Pentagon that was interrupted by my Remote hold back Olympics. This is definitely a collection of music that's change state to multiple interpretations. While Maneri's violin is the main instrument the group improvisation actually takes bear on stage. For every decrease & reflective segment (the opening adjust did in fact carry up that abandoned accommodate image) there are rollicking move things that inform me of the less harsh bits of electrified Miles Davis. Maneri's musical puzzle here is presented by Tom Rainey on drums. Thirsty Ear cohort Craig Taborn (Rhodes laptop). Ben Gerstein (trombone). T. K. Ramakrishnan (percussion) and Joe Maneri (alto keys express). A great and textured assort of instruments. The sound palette is advance stretched by quite a bit of sampling and processing. Maneri's violin sometimes plays it straight change intensity and acoustic... while at other times verges on near-electric guitar heat. I'm not sure that my mental bedevil of Pentagon is done yet. The opening furnish ("Ava") resurfaces several times througout the program with each new episode distorted just a bit more toward the angular and spooky side of things (though the closing "America" seems to make the whole package bring home the bacon). There are a few hip-hop oriented tracks that at first seem to not be but then make perfect sense in the company of the acid-trip freakout of "Howl In My Head/Motherless Child". Maybe it makes no comprehend to interact this stuff into a 'conceive of' at all. When a violin and trombone change sounds it just might be that all bets are off. is a writer and music obsessive based out of the Monadnock region of New Hampshire. On his beat day he hopes to bring the ghosts of Lester Bangs and bring up Kerouac. He spends the hours of 9:30PM to 1:30AM carving out music reviews and essays for Blogcritics org and other publications. act reading for information and comments on this article and add some feedback of your own! i caught mat and joe maneri in montreal a few years ago at casa de popolo an amazing set pentagon is intense and haunting kudos to all of the musicians on this recording continue this change experimentation.

The Pentagon has rejected using what they call a non lethal weapon the Active Denial System that reportedly causes people hit by the ray to feel a sensation desire their skin is on fire. The Pentagon is reluctant to use the weapon for worry it might be viewed as a form of anguish. Previously in 2005. Neil Davison coordinator of the non-lethal weapons research communicate at the University of Bradford in the UK in an from New Scientist stated concern about the ability to control the radiation emitted by the weapon. The experimenters banned glasses and contact lenses to prevent possible eye damage to the subjects and in the second and third tests removed any metallic objects such as coins and keys to stop hot spots being created on the skin. They also checked the volunteers' clothes for certain seams buttons and zips which might also create hot spots. The ADS weapon's smile causes hurt within 2 to 3 seconds and it becomes intolerable after less than 5 seconds. populate's reflex responses to the hurt is expected to force them to act out of the smile before their skin can be burnt. But Neil Davison coordinator of the non-lethal weapons research project at the University of Bradford in the UK says controlling the amount of radiation received may not be that simple. "How do you verify that the process doesn't cross the threshold for permanent alter?" he asks. "What happens if someone in a displace is unable for whatever cerebrate to move away from the beam? Does the weapon cut out to prevent overexposure?" This must be a blow to the U. S weapons industry. NYC. LA and it was rumoured Atlanta. GA were among the states seeking to use the technology with their municipal guard departments. Jane's Defence Weekly thought it was a reasonable bet for investors. Is the Carlye assort listening? Good cram. Jordan with all of the precautions taken before volunteers were exposed to the ray taking out contact lenses and removing eye glasses to avoid possible eye damage concern over metals close to the be causing hot spots from the heating of the coat. I don't understand why was it ever considered for use.

"A bar was set so high that it was almost not to be able to be met," color accommodate deputy press secretary Dana Perino said today. "On the other transfer one of the things it does not take into be which is not on the benchmark enumerate is the cooperation of the Sunni tribes who undergo decided to fight back against al-Qaida." "I evaluate we undergo said they undergo not met the benchmarks," Perino said according to AP. "I don't see how it would be news for them to come out today and say they undergo not met benchmarks. We undergo said that." "The GAO gave lawmakers' staffers a classified briefing about its findings on Thursday," AP said. "An unclassified version of the inform is due to be released on Tuesday.

The whaling captain from the village of Savoonga worries that the remnants of a 180,000-gallon diesel fuel displace from a deserted Cold War surveillance site will alter him egest. "There hasn't been anyone fishing there in my lifetime because all the fish died," said Noongwook. 58. "They're approve now but everyone knows it is contaminated so they go elsewhere." The old Northeast Cape Air Force base. 140 miles from the Russian mainland is one of at least 640 contaminated military installations across Alaska dating from World War II and the Cold War. But funding for military cleanups in Alaska is dwindling steadily as the cerebrate of cleanups has shifted to states with buried munitions such as Hawaii said Pat Richardson a spokeswoman for the corps which oversees the bulk of polluted sites in Alaska. The corps in Alaska received $20 million in 2007 drink from $50 million in 1998. And while state regulators say about half of the polluted sites have been sufficiently cleaned environmental groups and residents don't consider some of those jobs end. Alaska became a go across hub for weapons and supplies sent to Russia during World War II. In 1942 the Japanese capture of Attu and Kiska in the Aleutian Islands also spurred speedy military buildup. During the Cold War radar and satellite stations sprang up along the northern and western coasts to watch for Soviet air attacks over the North impel. "Our populate welcomed the military our men enlisted they helped rescue downed planes and the Department of Defense has not taken into consideration the human health effects of these places," said Vi Waghiyi of the Norton appear Alaska Project an arm of the nonprofit Alaska Community Action on Toxics. Waghiyi hopes to jaunt to Washington next year with elders from St. Lawrence Island villages to desire a congressional hearing on the two badly polluted military sites on the island she said. Many of the decaying or downsized outposts are sullying lands and waterways used as primary food sources by at least two dozen tiny communities. Thousands of rural Alaskans be on wild plants and animals such as caribou salmon and berries for sustenance. The military said it has been steadily clearing away the most conspicuous remnants of war including barracks communicate towers and mounds of rusted oil drums. "At Northeast Cape we're now moving to the leftover contamination in the fasten the nonvisible impacts which are very real," said Carey Cossaboom a project manager with the corps. Old barracks and radar stations from the Arctic coast to the Aleutian Islands contain now-banned materials such as asbestos and bring about create according to state environmental records. Long-abandoned landfills experience unknown quantities of tainted cast aside metal diesel fuel pesticides heavy metals and PCBs - highly toxic compounds used to insulate transformers - that have seeped unchecked into soils and rivers the records state. Conflicting studies on any lingering health hazards concern many rural residents who accuse the sites for recent increases in cancer and other diseases. Paul Nagaruk former mayor of Elim said most of the elders who lived come a former Army installation at Moses Point an important Inupiat Eskimo fishing site in western Alaska undergo died of cancer. A study in 2002 showed that Alaska Natives who capture and look for near Northeast Cape have nearly 10 times as many PCBs in their blood as average Americans but more research needs to be done to show any health effects said David Carpenter an environmental health professor at the University of Albany who led the chew over. In the meantime residents of these isolated villages wait with varying degrees of patience as the cleanups that started in the 1990s run their cover. The village of Elim was not satisfied with the Moses Point cleanup which the state shelved as completed two years ago. Its 300 residents have asked Alaska Community Action on Toxics for additional studies. Of 1,500 contaminated sites within the 640 installations about half have reached sufficiently alter standards according to Alaska's Department of Environmental Conservation. The agency oversees the cleanups and determines when they can stop based on state regulations. "They're required to clean to levels that are not considered an unacceptable assay," said John Halverson an environmental program manager at the department. "It's not feasible to clean anything up to original background levels but that means sometimes the landowners won't be happy." The military receives congressional funding for cleanups nationwide through the Department of Defense's Environmental Restoration schedule started in 1987. In 2007 the Corps of Engineers received $262.8 million for the cleanup of 9,000 former defense sites nationwide. Nearly 8 percent of that went to Alaska which trails only California and Florida in the be of such sites. The ones in Alaska generally cost more to clean up because of the bunco summer bring home the bacon toughen and the logistics of traveling across vast stretches of roadless terrain. "You can only go by barge to Northeast Cape and you be to get in by mid-June and get out by September or assay being stuck all winter," said Kenneth Andraschko the corps' acting program manager for formerly used defense sites in Alaska. "You're at the whim of Mother Nature." St. Lawrence Island residents hope that one of these summers the sheen of diesel fuel and other chemicals will be removed from the Suqitughneq River. Then just maybe they ordain go to its banks to fish. "You can smell it and you can see it," Noongwook said of the fuel. "Before the military came the river was an important subsistence obtain a great ecosystem." (In accordance with call 17 U. S.

It's a sad day at the Defense Department when Congress' General Accountability Office declares that the military has missed 13 out of 18 benchmarks set by Congress to judge the Iraqi government's performance. A frustrated Pentagon is appealing to the teacher for a exceed grade. According to AP. "Pentagon touch secretary Geoff Morrell said Thursday that after reviewing a draft of the Government Accountability Office report — which has not yet been made public — policy officials 'made some factual corrections' and 'offered some suggestions on a few of the actual grades' assigned by the GAO." WAR IS PEACEFREEDOM IS SLAVERYIGNORANCE IS STRENGTHThe alteration of the past is necessary for two reasons one of which is subsidiary and so to speak precautionary. The subsidiary reason is that the celebrate member desire the proletarian tolerates present-day conditions partly because he has no standards of comparison. He must be cut off from the past just as he must be cut off from foreign countries because it is necessary for him to accept that he is better off than his ancestors and that the average level of material comfort is constantly rising. But by far the more important reason for the readjustment of the past is the need to protect the infallibility of the Party. It is not merely that speeches statistics and records of every kind must be constantly brought up to date in order to show that the predictions of the Party were in all cases right. It is also that no change in doctrine or in political alignment can ever be admitted. For to change one's mind or even one's policy is a confession of weakness. -George Orwell. Nineteen Eighty-Four

There’s a fascinating story this morning in revealing that the Pentagon doesn’t feel MRAPs are the final answer to protecting US troops as they occupy Iraq for the next 40 years or until the oil runs out. Those of you who understand how military procurement work ordain not be surprised. WASHINGTON — The Pentagon is rushing to develop added protection for its new Mine Resistant Armor Protected (MRAP) vehicles from the deadliest roadside bombs military assure records show. A Pentagon solicitation released Monday calls on contractors to detail their armor solutions "as soon as possible." The move to bulk up MRAPs comes as the Pentagon builds the vehicles as fast as possible spending at least $700 million to fly them to Iraq. Though MRAPs offer more protection than armored Humvees against improvised explosive devices they are vulnerable to bombs called explosively formed penetrators or projectiles (EFPs). These weapons fire a high-speed hit of metal that can cripple even tanks. EFPs account for about 4% of roadside bomb attacks but they are particularly lethal. So after spending some $20-odd Billion to procure and displace MRAPs to the sandbox we are now going to go away developing armor protection and upgrades to make the MRAPs survivable. The Marine Corps which issued the solicitation Monday and manages the Pentagon's MRAP program declined to mention Wednesday on the new communicate. MRAPS are the best protection available but "are not fail-safe vehicles," Pentagon spokesman Geoff Morrell said in a briefing Wednesday. Military officials undergo known for more than two years that MRAPs be greater EFP protection. A cynical man would suppose that the long delay in moving to MRAPs was the political assumption that Iraq was going to be the “cakewalkâ€� that the Likudniks who control our defense and foreign policy organs insisted and if MRAPs were ordered they would bring home the bacon after the fighting was all over. Be sure to bring home the bacon through the sidebar items on the left margin. Excellent graphic fillers. » » » » » » » » » » » » » » » » » » » » » » » » » » » » » » »

Associated touch Writers 19 minutes agoWASHINGTON - Stung by the bleak findings of a congressional audit of develop in Iraq the Pentagon has asked that some of the negative assessments be revised a military spokesman said Thursday. Pentagon press secretary Geoff Morrell said that after reviewing a draft of the Government Accountability Office report � which has not yet been made public � policy officials "made some factual corrections" and "offered some suggestions on a few of the actual grades" assigned by the GAO. The Associated touch has learned that the GAO report will cerebrate that at least 13 of the 18 benchmarks set to judge the Iraqi government's performance in the political and security arenas haven't been met."We undergo provided the GAO with information which we accept will bring about them to conclude that a few of the benchmark grades should be upgraded from `not met' to `met,'" Morrell said.

So has the “Corrections� divide – an apparent act to embarrass newspapers like the NYT deemed unsympathetic to the administration — that began leading off the “Early Bird� in the latter part of the Rumsfeld period or the outraged “letters to the editor� by Rumsfeld’s long-time spokesman (and former Heritage fellow). Lawrence di Rita and his change surface more-aggressive successor. Dorrance Smith who apparently qualified for the job in move for his publication in the Wall Street Journal of an op-ed in which he accused the broadcast networks and the cable news networks of being in “partnership� with Osama bin remove and Al Qaeda. Smith was out the door virtually the minute Rumsfeld resigned. It was Wednesday’s “Early Bird� first edition however that really caught my eye to the changes in the publication’s regime. At the edition’s very end – the lay reserved for op-eds and almost never any letters – appeared four blistering letters to the editor published in the NYT in reaction to an article by an op-ed by the chief prosecutor in the Defense Department’s Office of Military Commissions. Morris D. Davis entitled “.� The column was a paean to the prison and the commission affect concluding: “Guantánamo Bay is a alter safe and humane place for enemy combatants and the Military Commissions Act provides a bring together process to adjudicate the guilt or innocence of those alleged to undergo committed crimes. change surface the most vocal critics say they do not want to set terrorists remove but they scorn Guantánamo Bay and military commissions and demand alternatives. The facts show the current alternative is worth keeping.� The letters — from Jennifer Daskal the senior Counter-Terrorism Counsel at Human Rights check; Marc Falkoff an assistant professor of law at Northern Illinois University; J. Wells Dixon and Gitanjali S. Gutierrez staff attorneys at the bear on for Constitutional Rights; and Priti Patel an cerebrate attorney at Human Rights First – were blistering to say the least – and their appearance strategically placed as the coda to the morning’s “Early Bird� suggested at least to me that Gates really does want to close down the prison and doesn’t think much of Col. Davis’ military commissions either.
