And they're at it again …

*Pic: The Town Hall in Ross, with the old Ross School in the distance, where in between lies the old School oval ~ see the plan below.
Ross is frequently referred to by politicians as one of the best heritage places to visit and experience in Tasmania.
Why would politicians set out to destroy the heritage values of Ross?
The Northern Midlands Council are seeking to sell the old School Oval next to the Town Hall in Ross.
This information came to light in the minutes of the Ross Local District Committee, a special committee of the Council, where we can read ~
Meeting of the Ross Local District Committee
http://www.northernmidlands.tas.gov.au/files/Minutes_Ross_Local_District_Committee/2016-12-07__RLDC_Minutes_.pdf
8.19 Ross School Oval ~
Council have requested feedback on a proposal to subdivide and sell the Ross Oval now the Ross Town Square has been purchased.
A motion in reply was moved ~
The Ross Local District Committee does not support the development or disposal of the former Ross School oval.
Carried unanimously.
Normally, the minutes of the Ross Local District Committee would be published with the agenda for the next Council meeting, but though the minutes for the special committees of other towns were included with the last agenda, the minutes for the Ross Local District Committee were not included, leading to the assumption that a meeting was not held ~
Northern Midlands Council Minutes
http://www.northernmidlands.tas.gov.au/files/2016_Minutes/2016-12-12_Minutes_open_council.pdf
Two weeks after their last meeting, the minutes of the Ross Local District Committee finally appeared on the Council website, unapproved by the Council meeting, and any motions in those minutes not considered by the Councillors.
With Councillors being left in the dark about the motion from the Ross Local District Committee opposing the sale of the old School Oval, we can now but wonder how far the Council has progressed the old School Oval toward being sold.
WHY THE OLD ROSS SCHOOL OVAL MATTERS
Located next to the Ross Town Hall, the Oval is used by many residents of Ross, and visitors to the town, which can include a rally of vintage cars, or a dog event.
Meetings held in the Town Hall, frequently overflow onto the Oval, where children can run around and play.
There are many other activities that could happen on the Old School oval, which will be history, if this public land is sold and developed.
The public loss and private development of the Oval would have a dramatic impact on the heritage values of this historic town.
Though the old sandstone schoolhouse has been sold, it is heritage listed and the oval maintains a heritage environment between the Town Hall and the old school.
BACKGROUND TO THE PROPOSED SALE OF THE OVAL
As described in the Committee minutes, the Northern Midlands Council purchased a large area of land in Ross on Church Street, next to the Man O'Ross Hotel, to develop a new town park.
Consultants were engaged and consultation held with the community, which included the future of the old School Oval and how the area would be planned, but at no point was the prospect of selling the oval raised.
The old Ross School closed in 1999 and was subsequently given to the people of Ross by the Tasmanian government, including the oval, via the Northern Midlands Council.
The old school could have been used for community purposes, such as art classes, and the old tennis court could have seen a tennis club formed, with the surrounding grounds developed into a community park, with activities flowing onto the oval and toward the Town Hall.
None of this happened.
The Tasmanian Wool Centre was granted a lease on the building and held this for many years, but did nothing with the building.
When I inspected the building in 2007, it was neglected and deteriorating, with a wood fire full of dead bees.
The neglect of the old school continued, until the year arrived when the Council could legally sell the gift from the Tasmanian government to the people of Ross.
When I inspected the old school in 2014, the neglect had clearly continued into serious deterioration and the wood fire was still full of dead bees.
No effort had been made to tidy the building up for sale.
At auction the building was handed in, but eventually sold and is now privately owned.
A QUESTIONABLE ACQUISITION
Why would the Northern Midlands Council buy more land in Ross, when they already owned the old School Oval, located next to the Town Hall and the public toilets in Ross?
A KEY PROBLEM FOR ROSS
In 2012 Pitt & Sherry prepared development plans for five towns in the Northern Midlands, but Ross was not included ~
http://www.northernmidlands.tas.gov.au/Page/Page.aspx?Page_Id=351
As a consequence, there has been no clear vision for the development and future of Ross to guide community, development and tourism related decisions.
On Boxing Day a petition will be launched, to save our old School Oval for community use.
When politicians are back from the festive break, they can be asked to examine this whole sorry affair with a gift to the people of Ross by the Tasmanian Government, which could have become quite a wonderful asset.
Questions will need to be asked, such as why the Tasmanian Wool Centre held a lease on the building and allowed the property of the people to fall into disrepair, until the Council could legally sell the old Ross School?
Why did the Northern Midlands Council buy more land in Ross for a park, when they already owned the old School Oval?
Why are the Northern Midlands Council now seeking to sell the old School Oval?
Why were the minutes of the Ross Local District Committee not included with the last Council agenda, including a critical motion on the old School Oval?
It is a well-known developer tactic to float a development proposal right on Christmas.
Why is the Northern Midlands Council secretly floating a development proposal, with the sale of the old School Oval, right on Christmas?
• Kim Peart in Comments: A petition to Save Our Old School Oval was launched on Boxing Day and is available for anyone to sign at ~ 39 Church Street, Ross ~ "We humbly call upon the Mayor and Councillors of the Northern Midlands Council to keep the old School Oval in Ross in public hands, as a recreation ground next to the Town Hall and public toilets in Ross, where members of the Ross community and visitors to Ross can enjoy the public open space, and where events are held from time to time." We will have the petition on the old School Oval on New Years Day ~ Sunday 1 January 2017 ~ so come join us and bring a picnic lunch. A soap box will be available for anyone wishing to make a speech …

"Ross is frequently referred to by politicians as one of the best heritage places to visit and experience in Tasmania. Why would politicians set out to destroy the heritage values of Ross"?
Because they can; that's why. And if they do sacrifice to the gods of Capital yet another place of beauty it is our fault. It is our fault for letting these vandals ruin our state, nation and world sacrificed on the alter of greed. And like it like it not everywhere the vandals are in charge and everyday we fail to stop their advance is a day we wont get back.
We love Ross with an enduring passion and have settled here with a view to coming decades, pursuing arts, science, and developing a small farm.
We were shocked to find the planning in Ross was sitting on ice that was melting away.
The mooted sale of the old Ross School oval is the latest blow in a series of strikes that are doing great damage to Ross as a visitor destination, which impacts on employment in the town and the health of the local economy.
Previously we have seen the Council allow ~
a housing development on Rural zoned land, beyond the urban growth boundary, on a small lot next the the Old Military Burial Ground, where Daniel Herbert is buried, the carver of the Ross Bridge,
a sandstone house demolished, which could have been restored, located in the historic precinct of the village,
the old Ross School subdivided from the oval and sold,
a failure to include the highly visual southern parts of Ross in the Interim Planning Scheme 2013 as a Scenic Management Area, and
the failure to have a Development Plan made for Ross in 2012, when they were made for five other towns in the Northern Midlands ~
http://www.northernmidlands.tas.gov.au/Page/Page.aspx?Page_Id=351#sthash.iKvpBMG6.dpuf
We must now wonder why a Development Plan was not made for Ross, which plays a mighty significant role in Tasmania's tourist economy, and could become even more vital in the future.
With many coastal locations succumbing to sea level rise in coming decades, inland heritage will be more vital to Tasmania, and may see the population of Ross increase, as people move from the coast and the rising sea.
If a development plan had been made for Ross in 2012, as it should have been, including extensive community consultation and scrutiny of all past studies, could the Ross School have been sold, as the community became aware of it's potential for community, for arts, for recreation, for sport and as a tourist asset for visitors to be able to visit and discover the history of the school.
That would be so much fun.
Considering how the Council were looking to sell the school as early as 2007, which can be seen in documents, could a Development Plan for Ross have been avoided, as it could have interfered with the sale of the school?
Before any further planning catastrophes strike Ross, that missing Development Plan should be the number one priority for Ross, to provide a vision for the future of the town, for the community, for culture, for heritage, for tourism, and for the town's economy.
There is an old house in Ross, near the Post Office, privately owned, but slowly crumbling.
What if the owner applies to demolish?
This house could be restored.
If Ross had a strong vision document, a Development Plan, that old house may be saved, because there is a vision for Ross.
With a strong vision for Ross, the Council may declare that the Old School oval can never ever be sold, because it is too vital to the community and for tourism in Ross.
With a strong vision for Ross, and should the old Ross School ever be for sale, the need may be seen to buy it back for the benefit of the community and for tourism.
Ross did not need a new expensive big shiny park next to the pub, because it already had a natural town park around the old Ross School and next to the Town Hall.
Why was the old Ross School ever sold?
Is it now time to invest in a vision for Ross?
Is it now time to invest in a Development Plan, to guide better planning outcomes in Ross?
A Notice in the window of the general store in Ross reads as follows ~
Attention Residents of Ross
I have had notification from the Northern Midlands Council that they are aware of the concern in Ross regarding the item on the last Ross Local District Committee Agenda about the sale of the Ross School Oval.
Councillors requested the District Committee be asked the question regarding the possible sale. There has been no decision by Council to sell the oval. The position of the Ross Local District Committee was clear (unanimously opposed to the sale) and will be taken into consideration by Council if the issue is considered further.
Any enquiries can be directed to the General Manager, Mr Des Jennings or Mrs Amanda Bond at Northern Midlands Council. (63977303).
Christine Robinson, Chairperson, Ross Local District Committee, 31st December 2016
It is assuring to see that no decision has been made to sell the old Ross School oval.
The notice reveals that the matter has been discussed by Councillors, so the prospect of selling the old School oval is clearly a matter burning away in the minds of the Council.
When I read ~ "if the issue is considered further" ~ there is no assurance that the matter of sale will not arise again, and again, and again, until the time is ripe to secure a sale.
The need to sell may rise again when the new town park in Ross is half finished, and there is a need for funds to complete the work.
It's just too bad that the Council had already owned land perfectly suitable for a town park, with the old Ross School and oval, next to the Town Hall and public amenities, with many old trees.
Why the old Ross School, a gift to the people of Ross, was subdivided from the oval and sold, and not made a town park, is a total mystery.
When the Council could not get funding for a big shiny with a sandstone project in the old Ross School, the only item burning away in the minds of the Council was to sell, not how the gift could best serve the people of Ross.
Now a new big shiny is about to happening in Ross, with the town park next to the pub.
What was wrong with the old Ross School and oval as a town park?
Even the old School oval by itself is large enough for a town park, and is located next to one of the hot attractions of Ross, with the 42nd Parallel exhibition by the Town Hall.
Why more land had to be purchased in Ross for a new big shiny, and who came up with the idea of buying more land, is another grand mystery in Ross.
What Ross really needed was a development plan, to privide a vision for development in Ross, which was made for five other Northern Midlands towns in 2012, but not for Ross.
In a vision vacuum in Ross, new big shinies glitter, while gifts to the people get sold, and a question mark hangs over the fate and future of the old Ross School oval.
Jennifer Bolton
Re: 9 ~ If there is no plan to sell the Ross School Oval that is great but why was the Ross Local District Committee asked to provide feedback on a proposal to subdivide and sell the Ross Oval. Obviously someone had a plan to sell.
It would help if there were more details made available to the people of Ross about what actually gets presented to the Ross Local District Committee.
For starters, the agenda for upcoming meetings should be published ahead of time to allow residents of Ross the opportunity to make submissions to the Committee and attend the meetings if they wish.
The agenda should be accompanied by any supporting documentation that the Committee has access to. This is how the Northern Midlands Council meetings are managed. The Ross Local District Committee is a special committee of council so its meetings should be conducted in the same way.
The Northern Midlands Council claims the local district committees for each town are a mechanism for consultation with the residents. In that case every document seen by the committees and every issue discussed should be communicated to the rest of the community as soon as possible.
If this cannot be done, what is the point of having a town committee? It is not the opinion of the committee that is important, it is the opinion of the people that matters.
Re: 9 ~ Talking about the horses mouth, it was on the Council website that we read the Christmas cracker ~ "Council have requested feedback on a proposal to subdivide and sell the Ross Oval now the Ross Town Square has been purchased."
If there are no plans by the Council to sell the old School oval, why does that statement exist, direct from the horse?
The most damning aspect of this whole game of chess in Ross, is that the old Ross School and oval were a gift to the Ross community by the Tasmanian government, providing a ready-made park at minimal expense, and options for a tennis club, art classes, history meetings, an art gallery and much more.
Were the people of Ross ever asked if they wanted this amazing asset sold off, even if it had been neglected by the Tasmanian Wool Centre over the years of their lease of it?
There has been too much high-handed ~ We know what is good for you ~ in Ross.
Were the people of Ross asked if they wanted more land purchased for a new park in Ross, when the old School oval was already owned?
I wrote to all Northern Midlands Councillors, twice, in 2014 when still living in Queensland, urging them not to sell the old School, because I could see what an amazing community asset it could become.
What was the Ross Local District Committee doing when the sale of the old Ross School was being pushed by the Council, and then another push to buy more land in Ross to replace the ready-made town park option that has now been sold off (the old Ross School)?
Now the next move comes into play, clearly stated in the last minutes of the Council's Special Committee in Ross.
If there is no substance in those words, they would not have been uttered or published.
No conspiracy theory is needed, when we can read what the Council horse has whinnied.
What we need now is a clear statement to the people of Ross from Mayor David Downie, our elected leader in the Northern Midlands.
I have it from the horses mouth (Northern Midlands Council) that there is NO plan to sell the Ross School Oval. If anyone has further queries then contact General Manager Des Jennings or Amanda Bond at council.
The new toilets will replace the old.
There is no conspiracy. The Ross Local District Committee minutes were not deliberately held back.
It occurs to me that when the Council was granted permission by the Tasmanian government to sell the old Ross School, the oval was still part of the property.
The school buildings were then subdivided from the oval and sold.
The Council may therefore already have permission to sell the oval, so if they decide to do this, it could happen pretty swiftly, especially if there is a developer in the wings waiting to pounce on this prime piece of real estate in the heart of Ross.
Now everyone in Ross is in a buzz with the new town park, the crunch could come when the funds must be found to pay for it, so the appeal of the new big shiny may win.
It is so shocking that the Ross community has had a gift from the State government taken away for no good reason, with the sale of the old Ross School.
What a fantastic community venue this could have been, with the oval and next to the Town Hall.
Have we been tricked into accepting the new town park, and only now learn about the price.
After all, what need was there to buy more land in Ross, when we already had the old School oval?
Who stands to gain from all these strange moves around the chess board of Ross?
Should we expect the public toilets to be demolished to make way for a road to the new development, whatever that may be?
Should we expect the new toilets, designed and approved, to now be built in the new town park?
Was this always the secret plan?
We will be on the old School oval on New Year's Day from 11am with the petition, and would like to hear what people think about this Council sprung development.
What a wonderful Christmas present and New Year's gift this is, not, from the Northern Midlands Council.
candy hurren
It would be such a shame if we lose this oval apart from all the fun memories, but why do you have to have it sold to have maybe more buildings on it and take away our recreation oval, we have game days on it and picnics, so do many other people and not to mention the car clubs and the ross marathon to mention a couple of groups. If the councel are worried about the cost of mowing, alot of us will get together and maintain it. Why did the councel ask all the Ross residents what they would like on the oval as part of the development of the village green, I think we have been decieved. Please leave it alone.
Philip Lowe
This sounds as though it would make a good TVS screenplay with Henry Lawson writing the script.I love sleepy old Ross.
I've had good times and quiet times there and look forward to seeing it again,without any uptight ,obscene over developments.
A petition to Save Our Old School Oval was launched on Boxing Day and is available for anyone to sign at ~ 39 Church Street, Ross ~
"We humbly call upon the Mayor and Councillors of the Northern Midlands Council to keep the old School Oval in Ross in public hands, as a recreation ground next to the Town Hall and public toilets in Ross, where members of the Ross community and visitors to Ross can enjoy the public open space, and where events are held from time to time."
We will have the petition on the old School Oval on New Years Day ~ Sunday 1 January 2017 ~ so come join us and bring a picnic lunch.
A soap box will be available for anyone wishing to make a speech.
I will be there with a canvas making an oil painting of the old Ross School.
We can consider events that people may plan for the coming year, and book the old Ross School oval week after week for community uses.
There will be a fire festival in Ross on Saturday 1 July ~ the Midgard Fire Festival ~ to include the burning of a Viking ship.
The Viking ship will be displayed on the old Ross School oval during the day, and anyone wishing to participate and add to the Viking theme are welcome along to participate.
Follow the Midgard Fire Festival ~

The old saying ~ Use it or lose it ~ may ring all too true in this instance.
Re: 3 ~ When was the Ross entrance statement proposal presented to the people of Ross to contribute ideas and suggestions, which a consultant could then hammer into a plan, to again be presented to the people of Ross for their verdict?
There is a sculptor in Ross who could have been engaged in the project, who made those amazing carvings next to the Red Bridge in Campbell Town.
A Special Committee of Council (the Ross Local District Committee), where the membership is selected by Council officers, is not the people of Ross.
The "consensus" of a special selected committee, where the Council pushes an idea until the Special Committee agrees to it, is not consultation with the people of Ross.
We can read in Council minutes where they decided to make entrance statements for the towns.
Why was any discussion on this limited to the Special Committee?
After the Council had a consultant draw up a design, the first that the people of Ross knew about the matter was with a formal development application.
Done deal then, and with no real consultation.
This got worse when the entrance statement for Ross was advertised as an "entrance sign".
A flat stone "entrance sign" decided in secret, the idea of some consultant, is hardly a "consensus" achieved through consultation with the people of Ross.
If people like the new flat stone "entrance signs", fine, but a flat wall like this will ever remind me of a place for ashes.
Why is Ross the only town in the Northern Midlands referred to as a "retirement community"?
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust?
Ross is a town with exciting potential, but in the Council's Interim Planning Scheme 2013, the best vision for Ross is to "stabilise" the population.
More democracy and vision is needed for Ross, along with that missing Development Plan, made for 5 other Northern Midlands towns in 2012.
Fiona Doe
I beg to differ on the 'consultation' of the Entrance Statement for Ross.
When I was on the local district committee, it was already a discussion item and had been for MANY years. Several designs were submitted and debated. Council DID wait for Ross to come to a consensus, but that was tricky to achieve. They also came up with a design, and as it turns out it was (in my opinion) clean and simple and unfussy. I like it.
Dr Buck Emberg
To me the answer is a politics question and do not expect our politicians to look any further than their next election…Twas the same in Canada and the USA. We need to copy the Scandinavian pollies who seem to understand what "Long Look" means.
It is a long way from the seat of power of the Northern Midlands Council in Longford to their southern most town of Ross, so is that part of the problem?
In the Northern Midlands Interim Planning Scheme 2013 we can read ~ "Ross will continue to be supported as a heritage based tourist centre, retirement community and local service centre to stabilise its population and protect its heritage significance by ensuring its viability as a community." (page A-12)
Ross is the only town in the Northern Midlands referred to as a "retirement community".
Is Ross as a town condemned as a place where people go in the twilight of life, so no serious planning is needed?
When the Council decided to add entrance statements to towns, they had a design made for Ross by a consultant, without community consultation on the matter.
Their chosen design was taken to the Ross Local District Committee who eventually accepted it.
A retiring Council officer informed me that the Council plan was taken back to the Committee, until the Committee approved it.
The Council views consultation with the Ross Local District Committee as a form of consultation with the Ross Community.
The Committee rarely communicates anything to the community.
If the Council had invited members of the community to contribute ideas for the design, which could then be drawn up by a consultant, an entrance statement that reflected the spirit of Ross could have been created.
When the Ross Committee approved design was advertised as a development, it was described as an "entrance sign" for Ross.
I consulted with members of the community and proposed a proper entrance statement, which can be seen here, along with the consultant's design ~
http://visionross.discussion.community/post/entrance-statement-for-ross-8144705
The Council could at that stage have stepped back from their dictatorial position and asked members of the Ross community to contribute design ideas, which could then be included in a proper entrance statement for Ross.
No way could this happen, as the Council had already paid for a consultant.
The matter was debated at a Council meeting, and the Councillors ignored democracy and ran with a consultant-designed entrance sign for Ross.
That decision is now being built at the northern and southern entrances to Ross.
Forgive me for wondering if this strange stone wall design is where the ashes go when people in the Ross "retirement community" pass on.
My experience with the "entrance sign" for Ross shows how the decision-making process may play out with the old School Oval.
I live in hope that the good people of Ross will find the collective boot of life and kick democracy back alive in Ross.
Ross is a living town and needs a living plan for a dynamic future.


Kick off your summer on the South Fork!
At the very tip of Long Island's southern fork, beyond the posh towns of the Hamptons, lies Montauk, which has long attracted families and fishermen. In recent years, it's gotten a bit more Hamptons-like with the opening of a few trendy hotels and bars (to the chagrin of some locals), but it still has plenty to keep everyone happy, from gorgeous dune-lined beaches to scenic seafood shacks. Here are six Montauk hotels to check out on your next East End visit.
Gurney's Montauk Resort, one of Montauk's classic resorts, recently received a head-to-toe makeover and is once again the social hub of town. Spend the day lounging on day beds right on the beach (lobster rolls for lunch are a must). In the evening, tuck into seared scallops at the hotel's Scarpetta Beach.
It doesn't get any hipper than The Surf Lodge, a chic, SoCal-inspired hotel on Fort Pond (use the loaner bikes to pedal to nearby Kirk Park Beach). The restaurant and outdoor deck are the place to be come sundown — the beach-party vibe continues well into the night. Check out its popular summer concert series.
You don't need a membership to stay at the 107-room Montauk Yacht Club, which sits on a private island in Lake Montauk. However, it does have its own marina, so you can arrive via boat if you so chose. The resort also has a private beach, two pools, tennis courts, and the Coast Kitchen restaurant. The hotel was recently purchased by Gurney's and will soon be renamed Gurney's Montauk Yacht Club Resort & Marina.
The 12-acre Tudor-style Montauk Manor, built in 1927, offers condo-style units with kitchens. While it's not on the beach, it does have an indoor and outdoor pool and tennis courts, plus a putting green (and free shuttles into town). It's a quiet, family-friend resort — if you need a little action, have a drink at nearby Navy Beach, a beachfront bar with gorgeous sunsets over Fort Pond Bay.
The Montauk Blue Hotel is just two blocks from town but sits right on the beach, so you'll get the best of both worlds. Start the day at Mr. John's Pancake House (the blueberry flapjacks are the bomb) on Main Street, then take a dip in the Atlantic. Save time to visit the Montauk Lighthouse, designated a National Historic Landmark in 2012.
Along a quiet stretch of Old Montauk Highway (between Napeague and Montauk) is Driftwood on the Ocean, which, as its name implies, sits on a private white-sand beach. Nearby is Hither Hills State Park, with hiking and biking trails, and the Lobster Roll, a beloved roadside seafood restaurant where scenes from Showtime's The Affair were filmed.

Q: Is it possible to refactor an ASP.NET application without access to the project files? Scenario: I have access to an already published ASP.NET application running on a remote web server.  The directory structure looks like this:

I do not have access to the project/solution files as far as I know.  Specifically, I cannot find specific C# code-behind files that I need to modify.
Is it possible to rebuild this project with minimal effort using only the published code?

A: A couple of clarifications:
To refactor something is to alter its internal structure without changing its external behavior.  You can access source code by using a decompiler, but it is often not worth investing a lot of time into because the decompiler has made formatting decisions that make most code difficult to read for humans (as it was already stripped down for machine only readability).
Refactoring is usually only done to either improve the performance or readability of the code, so you are starting at a loss if your goal is the latter.  My guess is you need to go in and tweak some functionality, in which case a decompiler is really the only way to go, but finding the source code and keeping good track of source code is probably a better bet.  When we deploy code to production we include a ReadMe.txt file with it indicating where to look for the source code.
Additionally, some asp.net files are not compiled into .dll's.  Typically .dlls only include files ending in .vb or .cs.  You'll still need to have access to and include non-compiled pages like .aspx and .ascx files, but these will also be on your server.
A good free alternative to .NET Reflector is to use Telerik's Just Decompile which has an option to recreate the .proj file from the compiled code.

A: You could use a de-compiler like .NET Reflector to decompile the dll's but that will only work if the code hasnt been obfuscated. Even then you might not be able to regenerate all of the files from the original solution.

Örebro, the sixth largest city in Sweden, is located on both sides of river Svartån. The river drains into lake Hjälmaren, in which Örebro Castle is built in the middle of the city. Örebro has a rich cultural life with theatres like the Hjalmar Bergman theatre, the Swedish chambers orchestra, as well as the Old and the New Theatre. In the seventies, Örebro had one of the first official gay clubs in Sweden, Gay House. Today, RFSL has a club in the city and drag show group Fashion Pack, has its base here.


Early warning, but a notice to anyone affected.
The announcement comes just under 6 months after the now-infamous hacking scandal that rocked Sony Entertainment on April 19th, where hackers obtained the personal information of over 70 million PlayStation Network users. The hacking event led to the prolonged downtime of the PlayStation 3's online capabilities while Sony completely restructured their database to prevent similar attacks in the future. While the numbers reported in this latest attack are a far smaller number, it may mean big things for the company financially: Sony Entertainment share values in the stock market have fallen since the attacks in April to a low of $18.25 per share, after reaching as high as $36.85 in February of this year.

the EARTHAVERSE
the ALTEREDVERSE
The Earthaverse focuses on the twin planet to our world, named Eartha. The Alteredverse focuses on our world and frequently features humanoids known as the Altered Ones. To read the Legend of how the universe featured in these books began, scroll down.
Earthaverse Books:
The Draev Guardians series
Alteredverse Books:
Beast of the Night
Overall Timeline:
Draev Guardians
(Books can easily be read out of order. This list is simply to show you how all of the books relate to one another. For example, Draev Guardians occurs on Eartha a little after Madness Solver occurs in our world.)
Long ago, humankind hated their weak physical capabilities. They saw how the animals, birds, and other creatures of the land lived so easily in their environments; with their wings they were able to travel anywhere, with their claws able to dig up anything, and with their strength able to hunt down any prey.
"Why have you given us such a pathetic form?" some of the humans cried out to Lord God. "We toil away, while an animal can do in a day what would take us weeks. We have no claws to help us plant our fields, no wings to help us travel from place to place, no strength of a bear to bring down a hunt with ease. Why have you made us so weak?"
God, in His great patience, heard their plea, and He sent down to Earth a special grove of trees bearing strange and colorful fruit. He told them that each tree's fruit would grant them a different gift, and so, they must choose wisely what it was they wished for and not complain about the results afterwards—for this was their own doing.
Now, the humans who had complained and were not satisfied with how God had made them, went to the trees, and each chose a fruit and then ate.
In that moment, their bodies were transformed: some subtly, others drastically. Humans who ate of the flight trees were given feathers and wings; those who ate of the earth trees were given claws and tools for digging and living underground; those who ate of the strength trees were given a wide variety of animal characteristics and heightened senses. And so, the elves, kitsune, goblins, vempars and dwarves and many more races were born (along with the many fables and folklore that would follow).
But when these transformed humans returned to the mainland and to their fellow humans, they were feared and shunned for their strange appearances. The humans named those who had eaten of the trees: the Altered Ones, and they separated themselves from them.
The Altered soon realized their mistake. For humankind was not as weak as they had once thought, but growing in intelligence and technology, and able to accomplish feats which no creature could. But it was too late, and the Altered could not change back.
As the years passed, humans populated the planet, and the Altered lagged behind, few in number. They were feared, banned from areas, and even hunted down.
But Earth had a twin world, and a secret portal that the Altered later discovered which led there. Many Altered fled to this twin planet, to Eartha, and there began anew, creating a world just for them where they could live in peace.
However, not all of the Altered left. Some, for various reasons, chose to remain behind on Earth. And this is where the Earthaverse and Alteredverse begin…
Earthaverse stories focus on the twin planet Eartha, such as the Draev Guardians series. While the Alteredverse stories take place in our world, such as Beast of the Night, and happen at different points in time.

Q: How to pass variables to IN clause of MySQL query in pandas.read_sql_query? I am writing a generic function to query a database where I want to use *args to get values. Here's the function
def get_latest_value(col_name, *args):
    query = "select * from latest_value where {column} in (%s)"
    query = query.format(**dict(column=col_name))
    results = pd.read_sql_query(query, engine, params = [args])
    return(results)

However, when I run this, I get this error:
ProgrammingError: (MySQLdb._exceptions.ProgrammingError) not all arguments converted during bytes formatting
[SQL: select * from latest_value where amfi_code in (%s)]
[parameters: (100370, 100371)]
(Background on this error at: http://sqlalche.me/e/f405)

I even tried converting the *args to a list before passing it, but that didn't help either.
Not able to figure out how to pass the values in *args to the IN clause. Any help is appreciated.
Also, is using string concatenation for column name this ways safe from sql injection attacks?
Update:
I changed the code as follows:
def get_latest_value(col_name, *args):
    query = "select * from latest_value where {column} in (%s)"
    query = query.format(**dict(column=col_name))
    conditions = ", ".join(map(str, args))
    results = pd.read_sql_query(query, engine, params = [conditions])
    return(results)

I don't get an error now, but I only get the results for the first value in args.

A: I could not figure out exactly what, but I figured that sqlalchemy has a problem dealing with this scenario. It can be solved by using psycopg2 instead.
I wrote the code as follows
conn = psycopg2.connect(user='', host='', password='', database='')

query = "select * from latest_value where {column} = any(%s)"
query = query.format(**dict(column=col_name))
results = pd.read_sql_query(query, conn, params=(args,))

Note the change in the query. Instead of using in (%s), I have used =any(%s) as seen in the psycopg2 documentation.
Also note that for the above to work, args needs to be a Python list, not a tuple.

On the dark and bright sides to vengeance: Cognitive, behavioral and affective consequences of aggression
written by Markus Denzler, Petra Markel & Jens Förster
General action and inaction goals: Definitions & effects
written by Melanie B. Tannenbaum, Justin Hepler & Dolores Albarracin
edited by Clare Jonas
In the present article it is argued that aggression or more specifically, taking revenge has contrary to previous research findings not only negative (i.e., aggression increasing) but also positive (i.e., aggression reducing) consequences. Whereas aggressive thoughts and aggressive behavior might be reduced by taking revenge, negative feelings most likely increase. Thus, a fine-grained analysis of the consequences of revenge is warranted.
In September 2004, Ameneh Bahrami turned down a marriage proposal of Majid Movahedi – not for the first time. This rejection had severe consequences for Ameneh: One evening Majid ambushed her and poured sulfuric acid into her face. Her face, her eyes, her lips and her tongue were burned. Ameneh´s face is now disfigured and she is blind in both eyes. Upon a plea from Ameneh, the perpetrator Majid was sentenced to the same punishment: He will be blinded in both eyes from acid drops – most likely by Ameneh herself, who asked for the right to carry out the punishment herself. Many interesting psychological questions arise from this case as well: Would Ameneh feel better after she dropped acid into the eyes of Majid? Would it help her to think less of him and of harming him, and ultimately help her overcoming this traumatic event? In the following, we will address these questions from a psychological point of view, which boil down to the more general issue of whether taking revenge is beneficial or harmful for the avenger: Does it feel good to take revenge? Does it reduce aggression in general?
We assume that the effects of aggression are not inevitably good or bad as suggested by traditional views on aggression. The notion of Catharsis, the idea that aggressing reduces aggression in the future, has a long history in Philosophy and (Social)-Psychology alike. In Philosophy, already Aristotle claimed that typically negative feelings expressed in a drama cause the audience to re-experience these feelings: this leads to a vicarious expression of their emotion and therefore to a reduction of this emotion in the audience. In Psychology, Lorenz (1974), for example, assumed in his instinct model that organisms constantly build up aggressive energy. Since the organism cannot endlessly accumulate aggressive energy it needs to be released at some point. After the energy has been released – typically through an aggressive act – subsequent aggression is less likely to occur. Consequently, any aggressive act (such as taking revenge) is cathartic and can reduce subsequent aggression and might, in this sense, be beneficial. Thus, from this point of view, aggression is inevitable and moreover necessary at some point to restore psychological balance. In sharp contrast, the General Aggression Model (GAM, Anderson & Bushman. 2002), one of the most prominent current models on aggression in (Social)-Psychology, assumes that aggression is not inevitable. More specifically, aggression occurs through an interplay of situational and personality factors. These, however, do not necessarily lead to aggression. If aggression nevertheless occurs, it fosters inevitably subsequent aggression through, among other mechanisms, increasing negative affect and activating thoughts related to aggression. Thus, according to this model, aggressing increases future aggression.
We suggest that a fine-grained analysis of aggression is needed to account for this complex phenomenon. In the following, we will attempt such an analysis. We will look at different psychological variables known to influence aggression: cognition, affect, and behavior. Contrary to past and current reasoning about aggression, we claim that aggression can either increase or decrease future aggression. We will argue that revenge has different effects on cognition, affect, and behavior. Whereas hostile affect increases, aggressive thoughts and even aggressive behavior can be reduced upon taking revenge. We will apply our analysis to the example of Ameneh Bahrami to illustrate – admittedly in a speculative manner – how different psychological processes might be differently affected by taking revenge.
We will begin our analysis with cognitions related to aggression; more specifically, with aggressive thoughts that are activated in memory. It is known that thoughts are one determinant of behavior (see Bargh, Chen, & Burrows, 1996; Dijksterhuis & Bargh, 2001). Aggressive thoughts that are activated in memory typically lead to behavior that is congruent with the activated concepts. To give an example, reading of the recent heavyweight championship prize fight and thereby reading and thinking of aggression, can increase the likelihood of aggressive acts (see Phillips, 1983).

Q: IBus Avro is not working on Ubuntu 18.04 I've installed Avro in my ubuntu 18.04. Then it works fine. But recently it is not working. Like by pressing Super + space, I can change the language but although I select Bangla it appears English alphabets.
I've checked all settings in Language support and it seems that there is no change happens.
How can I again make it workable?
This question may seem duplicate to this question but, in this case, the Avro installation is absolutely fine and it was working for a time then suddenly it stopped working. That time although i on the IBus Avro the Bangla fonts was not coming.

A: You may have run into a bug, which now has been fixed.
Avro Phonetic has recently been made available to Ubuntu users via an official package, which includes that bugfix.
To install it:
sudo apt install ibus-avro

Science, genetics, fate, free will, and alcoholism collide as Sarah and Lillian must decide if their marriage will survive Sarah's need to have a baby.
"…an intelligent and highly entertaining new play…made me laugh, and moved me close to tears…This is one of the few new plays I've seen in the past couple of years that I would like to see again".
Two generations of mothers and children collide when siblings who haven't seen each other for 40 years must be reunited. Adoption, abortion, and the ties that may, or may not, bind.
"Playwright Monica Bauer deserves her own blessing for the considerable virtues of her new play "Chosen Child," now in a disarmingly moving world premiere at Boston Playwrights' Theatre. Bauer brings remarkable feeling and intimacy to the exploration of the answers in a play at once both richly mysterious and smartly developed."
"Chosen Child" ... it's one of the most poignant, moving and worthwhile dramatic pieces I've seen in a while."
"Boston Playwrights' Theatre has a stunning "family" drama... Bauer cleverly engages the audience... Bauer's compassionate and novel take on the "family" play makes CHOSEN CHILD a must see this season."
"Chosen Child is among the best plays I've seen at Boston Playwrights' Theatre... Bauer has reworked and rewritten her very personal story into a compelling memory play which resonates (as she says) with anybody who ever had a mother."
Inspired by the history of the 1969 race riot in Omaha, Nebraska, when 14 year old Vivian Strong was shot and killed by a white cop, setting off one of the worst race riots of the 60's. Two teenage girls, one white, one black, struggle to discover their identities through music as a segregated town tenses for another long, hot summer.
"Monica Bauer's play about jazz and race, presented by Urban Stages, is a finely polished gem. Inspired by the playwright's youth in Omaha, Nebraska, it is a love song to jazz and its ability to unite people across color lines and also a sorrowful memoir of the time in the sixties when racism erupted into riotous violence."
"The subject of race relations in Omaha, circa 1969, is not pleasant. But deftly handled by author Monica Bauer, it becomes a revelation of who we were, and, to a degree, who we still are...packs an emotional wallop."
"Omaha's troubles may have been little known to most of us at the time, but the racial dynamics of the situation were not much different (from the Detroit riots)...Leah Smith directs a fine local cast in Monica Bauer's brilliant play."
"In this satirical piece, playwright Monica Bauer takes us on a dizzying journey...a whirl of straights, gays, crossdressers, Jews, Muslims, and Christians...a series of hilarious scenes and characters...the story moves nonstop. Bauer has a wild imagination, a unique style, and a way with language."

2017 Inductee, Dudley Duncan of Quest Swimming
"Dudley was such an influential coach for me because he really instilled the importance of technique, and developing the fundamentals of swimming. To this day, I use many of the drills I did with him for my own young swimmers. He also established the importance of overall fitness; he would lead us on runs and our dryland workouts, and more often than not, put us young swimmers to shame. Dudley was also incredibly good at establishing a bond between our swimmers and it was the first time I really understood what it meant to be a part of a team. He would organize activities for our senior group outside of the pool, and those were crucial to our team becoming incredibly close, and to this day, those are some of the best memories I have from my swimming career." - Rada Owen
2017 Inductee, Mark Schubert of Mission Viejo
"I met Mark Schubert for the first time when he became the Women's Head Coach at the University of Texas, where I was swimming. I had heard rumors about how he was a notoriously tough, distance coach. I thought, so why is he coming to one of the best sprint programs in the country. I am surely going to be in trouble. I soon found out that he wasn't just a great distance coach, he could actually coach sprinters as well! He encouraged me to keep a log book while I was swimming and write comments about my training/workouts. In doing this, it made me learn so much more about who I was and what I felt I needed as a sprinter. I truly became a student of the sport. Mark asked if I would ever consider coaching as a profession and the "bug" was placed. From that moment on, (and for almost 30 years now) that's what I've done. Mark has had such a great influence on me both as a swimmer and now as a coach, I truly owe a lot of thanks to him. I am so very proud to call him a close friend." - Leigh Ann Fetter-Witt
2016 Inductee, Bob Gillett
Legendary swimming coach Bob Gillett, passed away at his home in Arizona in February 2017. Coach Gillett was the ultimate innovator of dolphin kicking underwater on your side like a fish, a technique used by Olympic Champion, Misty Hyman.
Bob was more than just an innovator poolside, he had impact on our sport as a whole. More importantly, he was just a great guy. I will miss our talks. Thanks for your friendship and insights. Rest In Peace - Rich Rogers
It was such a blessing to have trained along side possibly one of the best coaches in the U.S. If it wasn't for him and his coaching skills I would never have made it as far as I did in the swimming world. RIP coach Gillett you will be missed. 👼 🙌 💙 - Erica Stock
One of the all-time greats and a very nice person who helped me tremendously. If you learned how to dolphin kick from me you learned it from him. - John Bradley
The world lost a great man. Bob Gillett was my swim coach through the most formative years of my athletic career. He was often cantankerous and misunderstood by some, but to those who knew him, he was an amazing and authentic person. He was a master coach, on the cutting edge of his sport. In the pool, and beyond, he was a visionary, a leader, an entrepreneur, an inventor, a father, a husband, and a mentor to many, many young athletes. He was one of the most influential people in my life. I'll never forget him and the the many lessons he taught me. His passion, his focus, his drive, and his long term vision have all impacted the person I am today. My heart and my thoughts are with his family; wife Kathy, and children Cheryl and Donny. He will be greatly missed by many, especially the thousands of young swimmers who got the privilege to suffer in his pool. You will always be in my heart and in my head pushing me to be better. Rest In peace, Coach. - Dan Querciagrossa
News from AZ Sports in Feb 2017 upon Coach's passing
Bob Gillett, best known for coaching 2000 Olympic swimming gold medalist Misty Hyman, died Saturday at his Arizona home.
Gillett was inducted into the International Swim Coaches Association Hall of Fame last year for a 50-year career that included working with swimmers who won 20 national and 50 junior national championships.
Gillett coached the Arizona Desert Fox swim team from 1971-2006, which operated out of his Arizona Sports Ranch after 1982. He also was CEO/coach of the Golden West Swim Club from 2006-11.
Hyman was coached by Gillett through 1997 when she graduated from Phoenix Shadow Mountain High School and moved on to college at Stanford. Gillett helped Hyman develop her underwater butterfly kick and extended underwater breakout that almost took her to the 1996 Olympics when she was 17. She made it to the 2000 Sydney Olympics, where she upset heavily favored Australian Susie O'Neill to win the 200-meter butterfly. Hyman now is an Arizona State assistant coach.
Cindy Tran, who was coached by Gillett, broke Natalie Coughlin's national 15-16 age group 100-yard backstroke record. In 2010, Tran broke the national high school record in the 100 back, becoming the first prep swimmer to break 52 seconds.
"When you think of the true innovators in the sport of swimming, Bob Gillett immediately comes to mind," said Chuck Wielgus, USA Swimming executive director. "He was constantly looking forward and creating new ways to help his swimmers improve. He was also always willing to share his knowledge with other coaches to help them work with their swimmers better. He will be missed by all in the swimming community.
"I still call Misty Hyman's incredible gold medal in Sydney one of the Olympics' most memorable moments. How Bob and Misty worked together to accomplish what most people thought couldn't happen was simply amazing."

Out to Space Year Six: the Intensity
This is post 6 of 9 in the series "Twelve Years of Out to Space"
It has been twelve years Out to Space was out first out to the world. Looking back in those years, there have been a lot of shifts. The cameras I used were ranged from a point-and-shoot camera, a DSLR camera, and to several incarnations of smartphones. I also have moved to different cities: from Sydney, back to Bangkok, and now in Washington DC. There are quite a number of stories I have put it out here through photos, photo essays, videos and so on. And most of all, it has been incredible documentation of my roller-coaster life. During these years, I have learned, and still am, about the craft, the cities I live in, and most of all, myself.

The previous year of Out to Space was a transition to study at College of Fine Arts. Most of the posts in the year six were still about the education that got very intense. It wasn't just the posts about the compulsory final project, but the subject I chose to do was also about the mental illness I had been dealing with—depression.
The school prepared us for the project in the second semester from the script development to preproduction. Then the final semester, we got to shoot the film and did the postproduction. But what I liked the most about it was that they forced us to report the progress on their student blog. It came handy for me (probably not for other students). And I published those posts later on this blog. It was the only and the most comprehensive behind-the-scene blog series I've done. There hasn't been a chance I'd do something like that again, sadly.
In between semesters, I took another workshop with Metro Screen, Live Streaming Multi-cam course. However, I didn't blog about making. Stil has more about it. It was a busy year.
Other than the posts about the school, there was hardly a motivation to go out the shoot photos and I was done with the dump series from the previous years as well as other photo subjects in the early years. And the blog started to fill in with automated weekly tweets.
2009 was also one of the toughest years of my life. I had no income and relied on the dole to live by. The study was really stressful. I had to work on the script about depression that I went to the deep dark place. It was the year that exposed that side of myself the most.

By the end of 2009, the hard work on the project paid off. I pushed the boundary in sound production. The final project finished with the bang and the mental condition slowly recovered. But it was also the end of the long and the first relationship.
By March 2010, I officially graduated but this space didn't seem to go anywhere. It might have needed a break. Looking back at how intense the year was. There were ambitious goals and they archived. What an exhausting learning curve!

What is a non-credit bearing short course?
A non-credit bearing short course is a type of learning programme for which no credits are awarded.
In order for the CTH programmes, which are OfQual registered qualifications in the United Kingdom, to be offered by training providers in South Africa, we have entered into an agreement with the CTH that facilitates the offering of each of the modules per qualification to be offered as stand-alone non-credit bearing short courses or short learning programmes. These will need to be marketed as such and learners will need to be advised that the short learning programme does not carry any credits towards a South African qualification.
For further details please email info@support.org.za for an ITH consultant to contact you.
The Chartered Institute of Tourism and Hospitality southern Africa (ITHSA) is the southern African representative of the CTH in the UK. The ITHSA provides a number of services on behalf of the CTH.

PhD position in evolutionary ecology – Trondheim Norway
Publiée le: 29 juin 2016
PhD position in evolutionary ecology: life history consequences of telomere variation
A PhD position is available at the Centre for Biodiversity Dynamics (CBD), Department of biology, NTNU. The appointment is for 3 years with the possibility of up to a 1-year extension if the candidate accepts teaching duties in agreement with the Department and the supervisor.
The scientific goal of the project is to acquire new knowledge about life history strategies specifically related to recent developments in pace-of-life theory, and this will involve inter-disciplinary research exploring functional physiology (telomere dynamics) as a mediator of adaptive trade-offs between life history traits in house sparrows.
Information about the department
The strategy of the Department of Biology is to understand biological processes of life to secure sustainable use of and conservation of the environment. The Department has academic and research activities in the following disciplines: cell- and molecular biology, systems biology, physiology, ethology, ecology, evolution, population genetics, marine biology, aquaculture, biodiversity and environmental toxicology. Further information is available at: http://www.ntnu.edu/biology.
This position will be hosted by the Centre for Biodiversity Dynamics, a Centre of Excellence in Science, more information about the Centre can be found at: http://www.ntnu.edu/cbd
The aim of the research in the announced PhD position will be to increase our understanding of the drivers of selective trade-offs between life history traits, which is itself a fundamental goal within evolutionary biology. The underlying principle is that since resources are limited then individuals have to optimally allocate any investment in growth versus survival versus reproduction. One trait that has been demonstrated to play a central role in mediating the trade-off between body size and lifespan in animals is the length of the chromosomal ends called telomeres. It has been established that telomere length at an early age is predictive of lifespan and that the length of the telomeres is reduced during the lifetime. Important sources of telomere loss are due to somatic cellular division and factors that increase the level of oxidative damage.
This project will focus on factors that influence variation in telomere length (such as heritability, and early growth rate) as well as how telomere dynamics relates to individual variation in fitness. The project will be based on empirical data from a study system of house sparrow populations in northern Norway. This include (1) an artificial selection experiment on body size, (2) long-term time series of variation in reproductive success and survival, and (3) a field study on the associations between early growth rate, oxidative damage, stress hormone and telomere lengths and how these influence future fitness.
This project will enable the candidate to investigate central questions related to the functional associations between telomere dynamics and physiological parameters and individual behaviour ("personality"), and how these are associated with trade-offs between life history traits such as growth rate, body size, reproduction and lifespan.
The successful candidate will be expected to have a longer visit (for instance 3 to 5 months) at our collaborating partner Professor Pat Monaghan's lab at the University of Glasgow during the PhD period.
The applicant must have an MSc (or equivalent) within the discipline(s) ecology, evolution or eco-physiology.
It is an advantage if the candidate has experience in molecular genetic analyses.
The applicant must also have substantial skills in applied statistics, including programming in R or similar languages.
Candidates should have strong organizational, written and oral communication skills, be creative, and be able to work both independently and as part of a collaborative team.
The regulations for PhD programs at NTNU state that a Master degree or equivalent with at least 5 years of studies and an average grade of A or B within a scale of A-E for passing grades (A best) for the two last years of the MSc is required and C or higher of the BSc.
Candidates from universities outside Norway are kindly requested to send a Diploma Supplement or a similar document, which describes in detail the study and grade system and the rights for further studies associated with the obtained degree: http://ec.europa.eu/education/tools/diploma-supplement_en.htm
The position requires spoken and written fluency in the English language.
The appointment of the PhD fellows will be made according to Norwegian guidelines for universities and university colleges and to the general regulations regarding university employees. Applicants must agree to participate in organized doctoral study programs within the period of the appointment and have to be qualified for the PhD-study.
NTNU's personnel policy objective is that the staff must reflect the composition of the population to the greatest possible extent.
The position as PhD is remunerated according to the Norwegian State salary scale. There is a 2% deduction for superannuation contribution.
Further information can be obtained from associate professor Thor Harald Ringsby, Centre for Biodiversity Dynamics (CBD), Department of Biology, NTNU, Tel. +47 735 96277 or +47 91897032, E-mail: [email protected]

Obama's Afghanistan timeline adheres to McChrystal assessment
The Afghanistan timeline President Obama outlined Tuesday calls for the 'surge' of 30,000 new troops to abate after only 18 months. That time frame is consistent with what Gen. Stanley McChrystal has called the 'decisive' period of the war.

@sappenfieldm
President Obama's decision to set a timeline on the "surge" of 30,000 new US troops into Afghanistan is consistent with a vehement assertion from Gen. Stanley McChrystal, the top US commander in Afghanistan, in his battlefield assessment.
In urgent language, McChrystal stressed the importance of time in America's Afghan venture – suggesting that the next 12 months could well determine the success or failure of the mission.
The timeline Mr. Obama announced Tuesday night appears geared to providing McChrystal with as many boots on the ground in Afghanistan as soon as is logistically possible in an effort to turn the tide of the war.
The consistency between McChrystal's assertions and Obama's words Tuesday appears to provide a military rationale for the timeline, which has been criticized as a purely political ploy made with the 2012 elections in mind.
Obama's timeline involves deploying troops to Afghanistan as soon as next month, and then beginning to scale back the surge in July 2011. That timeline essentially gives the surge 12 months at full strength in Afghanistan at the earliest possible date.
In his assessment, leaked to the press in September, McChrystal wrote:
"We face both a short- and a long-term fight ... but I believe the short-term fight will be decisive," he wrote. "Failure to gain the initiative and reverse insurgent momentum in the near-term (next 12 months) – while Afghan security capacity matures – risks an outcome where defeating the insurgency is no longer possible."
Obama appeared to reference this idea directly Tuesday – using some of McChrystal's language almost verbatim – as he announced both the surge and the timeline.
"These are the resources that we need to seize the initiative, while building the Afghan capacity that can allow for a responsible transition of our forces out of Afghanistan," Obama said.
Backing McChrystal
The decision appears to mean that McChrystal's assertion that the "next 12 months" will be crucial is a fundamental tenet of US strategy going forward: Speed is of the essence, and the sooner America can get more troops to Afghanistan, the better.
Moreover, it also appears to sanction McChrystal's prediction that a robust US response can bring the insurgency to manageable levels by July 2011.
Under this scenario, tens of thousands of US troops would remain to deal with the remnant of the insurgency – McChrystal's "long-term fight" – since only the surge will begin to end in mid-2011, not the entire mission, which stands at 68,000 US troops today.
Moreover, it's clear that both Obama and McChrystal expect to have more capable Afghan security forces on line by 2011, which could lighten the burden on remaining US forces.
A senior administration official said Tuesday that the end of the surge does not mark the end of US involvement in Afghanistan.
The timeline signifies when the US and NATO "will begin to transfer our lead responsibility ... to Afghan counterparts," said the official, who gave the teleconference briefing on condition of anonymity.
The timeline does not, however, "specify the end of that transition process, nor will [Obama] specify the pace at which it will proceed," the official added. "Those variables – pace and end – will be dictated by conditions on the ground."

Sean Bean on 'Game of Thrones' Season 2: 'Bring Me Back'
By JJ Duncan -
Actor Sean Bean speaks during the 'Game of Thrones' panel at the HBO portion of the 2011 Winter TCA press tour held at the Langham Hotel on January 7, 2011 in Pasadena, California. (Getty Images)more pics » Sean Bean (Pacific Coast News) Game of Thrones, Season 2 is about to start filming while fans are still reeling from Sean Bean's leaving the show on account of his character, Ned Stark, losing his head. Fans had become comfortable with Sean as a leading man who acted as a voice of reason in the corrupt city of King's Landing, and he joked in a recent interview with New York magazine about how much he's going to miss working on the show.
When asked by the magazine whether he thought Ned could be written back in through some supernatural twist, Sean was enthusiastic.
"Maybe there's hope for Ned yet! They can do anything," he said. "Anything can happen. It's a very complex show. Very multilayered. And even the most absurd thing is believable. They're about to start up again, and I'm feeling a twinge of envy, because the saga gets to go on without me. I'm doing something else now, but sometimes I go, 'Aw, s---, bring me back.'"
On losing his head, Sean said it was strange holding his own dummy noggin in his hands. "It's a dummy of my head. I was holding it at one point, which was a really creepy feeling, to hold my head and look at it. It was very heavy, just like a proper head!"

Game of Thrones Spoiler - What About Drogo?
Sean also commented on Game of Thrones Season 2 speculation that his death (like say Dumbledore's in the Harry Potter series) will push the younger characters to do great things.
"You start with Ned Stark, Lord of Winterfell, who's strong when he's introduced and gets weaker and weaker as he goes along, physically and psychologically, because he's in this corrupt environment, in this real den of snakes, which gets him in the end, and someone else is going to have to take his place."
Another Game of Thrones player, Emilia Clarke, who plays Daenerys Targaryen, also opened up about her dragon-tastic ending in the first season's finale while speaking with MTV.
"You see the relationship that Dany has with her eggs, and you see that grow and grow and grow and kind of the intuitive connection she has with them, you see that develop really beautifully," she said. "And then the end is the end. That [was] pretty awesome too."
Clarke assured fans of the next season: "I get to play with some more dragons!"
With such exciting season-ending cliff-hangers the second Game of Thrones book is sure to see a surge in sales just so fans can find out what happens. What do you think? Will you read the book before the second season comes out? Take our poll here.

Here we report the fabrication of high-performance all-carbon temperature and infrared (IR) sensors with a solvent-free multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) trace as the sensing element and commercial graphite pencil trace as the electrical contact on recyclable and biodegradable cellulose filter paper without using any toxic materials or complex procedures. The temperature sensor shows a large negative temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR) in the range of −3100 ppm K−1 to −4900 ppm K−1, which is comparable to available commercial temperature sensors, and an activation energy of 34.85 meV. The IR sensor shows a high responsivity of 58.5 V W−1, which is greater than reported IR sensors with similar dimensions. A detailed study of the conduction mechanism in MWCNTs with temperature and the photo response with IR illumination was done and it was found that the conduction is due to thermally assisted hopping in band tails and the photo response is bolometric in nature. The successful fabrication of these sensors on cellulose filter paper with a comparable performance to existing components indicates that it is possible to fabricate high-performance electronics using low-cost, eco-friendly materials without the need for expensive clean-room processing techniques or harmful chemicals.
