As Flyers pack up for offseason, they praise Scott Gordon whose future is uncertain
Dave Isaac
NHL Writer
VOORHEES — One by one the Flyers met with general manager Chuck Fletcher before leaving for another early offseason.
For the 44th straight time, there will be no parade down Broad St. with the Stanley Cup and, considering the current landscape of pro sports in Philadelphia, the Flyers have yet another hole to climb out of.
One of the ways they hoped they could start their way out was to hire three-time Stanley Cup champion Joel Quenneville as coach, something they also tried to do in December. Several reports have Quenneville joining the Florida Panthers as soon as Monday, although according to The Athletic, the Flyers remain involved. Chicago Blackhawks general manager Stan Bowman, who fired Quenneville in November, told reporters Sunday that he granted multiple teams permission to negotiate with Quenneville.
If the Flyers lose out on one of their big targets, the players interviewed Sunday are all for the interim coach they ended the season with sticking around.
Scott Gordon replaced Dave Hakstol in mid-December and went on to bring a 25-22-4 record the rest of the way. It was soiled a bit by a five-game losing streak to end the season once the Flyers were eliminated from playoff contention.
"I'll be honest, Gordo did a great job this year," Jake Voracek said. "He came in, gave us new life, he gave us the new ideas. He's a really good coach. I don't know what's gonna happen. Obviously that's a question for Chuck, but a lot of players had a lot of fun under him. That hole was too big for us to make up, but he's got a tremendous amount of respect from the players and I think that's really important. What kind of coach we need, I don't know. Coaches give you the structure and the ideas but we as players have to go out and execute it and sometimes you have to feel for a game that sometimes you have to change something, shake up something because the game is going a certain way. Sometimes the coaches have to let you play. I really enjoyed Gordo as a coach and we'll see what's gonna happen."
It was clear that the second time around was a little different for Gordon, who had one previous stint in the NHL coaching the New York Islanders from 2008-2010 as a head coach.
He was an assistant with the Toronto Maple Leafs for three seasons and was hired to coach the Lehigh Valley Phantoms in the summer of 2015 before he was called up for another shot this season. He told the team after Saturday's season finale that they helped restored his desire to be an NHL head coach.
"My experience on Long Island wasn't a great one, so much so that I didn't really think too much about coaching in the NHL," Gordon said. "If it happened, great, but I wasn't losing any sleep over it. As I told the players after the game (Saturday), coming in here and dealing with the character of the players, not just as players but as people, reinvigorated that desire to play in the NHL. That being said, I'll do what job is asked of me and I won't think twice about it."
Gordon gave several young players, like Travis Sanheim, Oskar Lindblom and Phil Myers, more responsibility in the NHL because he had coached them in the American Hockey League. He made adjustments both to the system and within the game that helped the Flyers get close to a playoff spot.
Still, the Flyers were their own worst enemy. They had yet another slow start to the season in terms of wins and losses and even within the games they couldn't start on time. Fifty times in 82 games they allowed the first goal and on 32 occasions, they allowed the second goal, too.
"I think Gordo's been good at trying to emphasize those little details but at the end of the day it's on the players to take responsibilities for the decisions and what they do out there," Sean Couturier said.
"I think he's done a great job coming in and helping us to get out of the hole that we were in," Ivan Provorov added. "He tweaked a few things, changed the system a little bit and help us to go on that winning streak we went on from the middle of January to whenever it went and contend for the playoffs. It's not easy to do. It's really hard to do. I think he did a great job."
Gordon and Fletcher are both scheduled to meet with the media Monday, but there may not be a finality to the situation.
When Gordon spoke postgame Saturday night, his line of "I'll do what job is asked of me," was a curious one. He signed a multi-year extension last March, so the Flyers still have him on an active contract no matter what they choose to do behind the NHL bench next season.
Would they ask him to go back to the Phantoms? His players hope he stays in the big league.
"I was with him from my start of pro in Lehigh and we both got called up the same day," rookie goalie Carter Hart said. "He's done a really good job of handling the day-to-day with us and with the situation he was given. For him to come in and excel the way he did really speaks a lot of words to who he is as a coach and as a person. Other guys really respect him and really like playing for him."

No, this is not a tutorial !
That was pretty interesting to be honest, but I couldn't understand a word from what that bald dude was saying.
All those Vice docs are petty interesting. Who was the member from BHW?
There is two possible reasons: 1. British english 2. his jaw is messed up because of his "work"
This is just about identity theft? Didn't the guy also get caught.. so technically he didn't get away with stealing? I'm confused. Thanks either way, it was fascinating! But I will stick to my job as a VC, I like it better and wouldn't make a very good criminal to be honest.
I met him in real life at the Internet Retailing expo..
Methods were very simply tbh.. but he got away with it because the policing was so lacks about internet fraud back then.
Its crazy how lax stores are/were when it comes to issuing credit.
not when you realize that they want you to go into debt.
several years ago a bank called me and offered me a gold credit card... with a $100,000. limit.
Btw the site at 4:15 was "World Blackhat" not "Blackhat World" Google it, two different sites.

Der Orden der Gärtnerinnen (Ordine delle Giardiniere) war ein Geheimbund, der sich in Form von Logen (Vendite, eig. Märkte, Verkäufe) organisierte. Er wurde 1820 in Neapel und Anfang 1821 in Mailand gegründet, agierte aber auch in anderen Orten Italiens, wie Capua oder Spoleto, und war als Teil der politischen Bewegung anzusehen, die als Carbonari bekannt wurde.

Die weiblichen Mitglieder des Adels, die sich der Bewegung anschlossen, die sich der Einigung Italiens verschrieben hatte, wurden als "belle giardiniere" (schöne Gärtnerinnen) benannt. Sie bezeichneten sich selbst aber nach dem Carbonari-Vorbild als "cugine giardiniere". Sie gaben sich vielfach die Namen von Blumen. Nach außen gaben sie sich den Anschein, sich in Gärten zu treffen, um sich über Gartenarbeit zu unterhalten. Die Anfängerinnen wurden als "giardiniere apprendenti" bezeichnet, die Fortgeschrittenen als "giardiniere maestre". Wer nicht zur Carboneria gehörte, wurde als "pagano" (Heide) bezeichnet.

Die Gärtnerinnen agierten als Spioninnen, da sie Zugang zum österreichischen Militär hatten, dienten dem Austausch von Informationen und der politischen Debatte, beförderten Schriften und Post, versteckten Flüchtige.

Eine der bedeutendsten Angehörigen der Loge war Cristina Trivulzio di Belgiojoso, die in den 1830er Jahren nach Paris floh. In ihrem Salon fanden sich zahlreiche andere Revolutionäre ein, wie Niccolò Tommaseo, Vincenzo Gioberti oder Filippo Buonarroti. Auch Matilde (Métilde) Viscontini Dembowski (1790–1825), Stendhals unerfüllte Liebe, gehörte den Gärtnerinnen an.

Auch die Malerin und Autorin Bianca Milesi gehörte zu den Gärtnerinnen von Mailand (sie floh 1822 über die Schweiz nach Paris), ebenso wie Teresa Casati, die mit Federico Confalonieri verheiratet war, der als Hochverräter zum Tode verurteilt wurde.

In einem Schreiben Franz II., des österreichischen Kaisers, an den Leiter der Polizei- und Zensurhofstelle Josef von Sedlnitzky aus dem Jahr 1823 finden diese Frauen Erwähnung, ebenso wie die Witwen Teresa Agazzini, geborene Cobianchi, und Amalia Tirelli, geborene Cobianchi. Während die Giardiniere des Nordens wenig militant waren, wurden die des Südens als Teil einer militärischen Aufstandsbewegung inhaftiert, gefoltert und zu langjährigen Haftstrafen verurteilt. In den Staatsarchiven von Mailand, Neapel und Wien befinden sich die Prozessakten.

The Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI) is leading a 25 companies strong Indian trade and technology led business delegation to Kigali, Rwanda from 22nd – 25th August 2017, which also includes the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR).
The visit follows the recent successful launch of the India-Rwanda Innovation Growth Programme (IRIGP). The program was launched in February this year as part of the visit of the Hon'ble Vice President of India Shri Hamid Ansari to Rwanda. IRIGP is a first of its' kind initiative between the Department of Science and Technology (DST), Government of India; the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI) and the National Industrial Research and Development Agency (NIRDA), Government of the Republic of Rwanda. It aims to address the socio-economic needs of Rwanda by linking the Rwandan enterprises with cutting-edge Indian technologies and innovations; ultimately creating a mutually-beneficial ecosystem. Through a wide outreach campaign in India, IRIGP has received an enthusiastic response from over 200 Indian entrepreneurs willing and able to take their innovations global in wide-ranging focus sectors from agriculture, packaging & food processing to renewable energy & ICT.
The delegation visit this month is being supported by the Rwanda Development Board (RDB), Private Sector Foundation (PSF), National Industrial Research and Development Agency (NIRDA), Indian Embassy in Rwanda as well as other Chambers of Commerce & Trade Bodies in RwandaIndian technologies/innovations will be showcased at the 20th Rwanda International Trade Fair (RITF), a multi-sectoral trade event which is being organized by the Private Sector Federation (PSF) in partnership with the Ministry of Trade, Industry and East African Community Affairs (MINEACOM) at Gikondo Expo Grounds, Kigali, Rwanda from 22nd August – 6th September 2017.
Through their presence at RITF, the delegates seek to establish, build and develop contacts and business ideas with the local Rwandan counterparts. Additionally, over the course of the next few days, the delegation would also be participating in an India-Rwanda Business Forum, B2B meetings, interactions with senior government officials and industry visits.
The visit continues to strengthen the bilateral relationship between the two nations with a focus on the key pillars of science, technology, innovation and entrepreneurship.
Honourable Ms. Clare Akamanzi, CEO of Rwanda Development Board (RDB) and a Cabinet Member, inaugurated the India Rwanda Business Forum under the aegis of the India Rwanda Innovation Growth Programme (IRIGP) on 22 August 2017 at the Hotel Lemigo in Kigali. 25 delegates representing a variety of companies across sectors excelling in technology and innovation led businesses attended from India.
Ms. Akamanzi said she was confident of the validated Indian technologies, adding "if they work in India, they will work in Rwanda". Welcoming the delegation and the unique IRIGP, Akamanzi said Rwanda had a special partnership with India, and particularly thanked FICCI for having worked with the Rwanda government and Private Sector Federation over the years. She complimented the 12-month cyclic IRIGP and looked forward to the matched India-Rwanda enterprises creating impact development in Rwanda.
Dr. Joseph Mungarulire, Director General, National Industrial Research and Development Agency (NIRDA), Ministry of Industry, Trade and East African Community Affairs, welcomed the Indian delegates, Rwanda government representatives and Rwanda Private Sector Federation and its members at the inauguration. Dr. Mungarulire said, "IRIGP represented a unique program that could deliver impact development across sectors", adding the Program offers existing enterprises and start-ups the opportunity to acquire appropriate technologies for competitiveness and to scale.
Mr. Munish Gupta, Adviser of IRIGP, and among the founders of the Program, thanked the Government of Rwanda and CEO RDB for the deep involvement and rapid progress in the Program in just 6 months. Gupta said the first results of the Program will be delivered by December with the matched and skilled India-Rwanda enterprises.

The Cornell Daily Sun (https://cornellsun.com/2005/11/28/gannett-short-on-flu-vaccine/)
Gannett Short On Flu Vaccine
Along with plummeting temperatures and fierce winds, winter brings another visitor to the Cornell campus: influenza. Most years, the full damage potential of the influenza epidemic is alleviated by mass administrations of flu vaccine, reducing both the spread and the severity of the virus.
But this year, Gannett, along with many other health care providers in New York State and the United States, has received many fewer units of vaccine than expected.
"We were given about two-thirds of the amount we normally receive, the amount that we asked for," said Nianne Van Fleet, on-call counselor for Gannett. "Our primary provider experienced a major shortage that left many of its customers with much less vaccine than anticipated."
According to Sharon Dittman, associate director of community relations for Gannett, Gannett orders vaccine a full year in advance in order to give its providers time to analyze the expected strain of virus to hit in the following year. Last February, they ordered 8,500 doses of vaccine from two different providers, the larger of which, Chiron Corporation, notified Gannett on Nov. 14th that they would not be able to complete the remainder of Gannett's order. To date, Gannett has received only 6,100 doses of vaccine.
"For now, Gannett is trying to find new providers that have had no trouble delivering their orders," she said.
According to Gannett's official release about the shortage, there have not yet been serious repercussions because there have not been any serious reports of influenza. Currently, no cases of influenza have been brought to Gannett for treatment.
But it is still early in the flu season, and no provider has yet been found to complete the remainder of the vaccine order.
"Right now the best we can do is to administer vaccine to students at the highest risk for catching the virus," Van Fleet said. "We still have some doses left, but we will only give them to those who need them most."
According to the official website of the federal Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), those at high-risk include those 65 or older or between six and 23 months of age, pregnant women and adults and older children with chronic health conditions, notably metabolic diseases such as diabetes and AIDS.
While it may appear that the vast majority of these high-risk factors would not affect Cornell students and would therefore be of less concern, Gannett has purchased vaccine for the entire community, including all of Cornell's staff and faculty. Thus the vast majority of students are not being targeted for vaccination. Vaccination appointments will continue, but in a reduced state; many scheduled clinics have been canceled for students at low risk for developing complications due to influenza.
The shortage accompanies a much larger nationwide shortage that stems from a coupling of high demand with short-term production problems, said CDC Director Dr. Julie Gerberding. But she said that the flu season has started off with a whimper, and thus far in the season the missing vaccine has not caused a serious health problem among the population.
"We have less flu in the country this year than at the same time last year," she said.

Lynah Expansion Moves Forward
The rebirth of Lynah Rink took a step forward a week ago, as Cornell's plans for renovations of the ice hockey facility were granted preliminary approval by the City of Ithaca Planning and Development Board at a Nov. 22 meeting. "Everything's on track," said Cornell associate athletic director Stephen Erber. "This meeting was specifically for preliminary site plan approval. – At some time in December there's another meeting [for final approval]." The current agenda for the Lynah Rink expansion calls for roughly 19,500 square feet of new construction to be added to the facility, as well as renovations to 9,850 square feet of the existing building, all beginning in the spring of 2006 and wrapping up in the winter of 2006. The new additions will consist of locker rooms for the men's and women's teams, as well as visitor locker rooms, training rooms, coaches' offices, and about 464 new seats for spectators. The preliminary approval came on Cornell's second visit before the board. Bob Blakeney, an architect for Cornell Planning, Development, and Construction, gave a site plan review and sketch plan presentation at the Oct. 24 meeting. The central part of the proposal before the board was an addition on the south side of the rink at the concourse level, which would replace a parking lot currently used for handicapped parking, visitor parking, and Cornell Outdoor Education vehicles. This would consist mostly of new offices for coaching staff, as well as study and training rooms for players. Furthermore, Cornell is planning new construction under the west end of the south addition at rink level. Despite the unanimous vote for preliminary approval and the absence of any public opposition at the meeting, the board did have several concerns it felt needed to be addressed before the final approval could be given. A letter to the board from Ithaca Fire Commissioner Tom Parsons raised the issue of accessibility and safety for the fire department in the event of an emergency. In his letter, Parsons asked that the board withhold final approval until the Ithaca Fire Department and Cornell could address several procedural issues. Due to the fact that the IFD and Cornell had only been in contact for the first time four days before the board meeting, Parsons felt that more time to consider all the information and plans available was necessary. "The objection is nothing significant, it's a basic procedural issue," Parsons said. "The project is still progressing, I don't anticipate anything holding up final approval." Parsons contacted the board concerning the fire support system and fire detection in the one-story addition on the west end of the facility. Although every aspect of the proposed construction and renovation is in compliance with building and fire safety codes, Parsons felt that more time for communication between the University and the IFD would be essential to developing a final plan that would serve both parties best. "What we're proposing is in fact in compliance and does improve life safety," Blakeney said at the meeting. Blakeney pointed out that the new plans included a full sprinkler system and actually increased fire detection capabilities within the facility. Furthermore, all of the walkways leading to the building will be wide enough to accommodate fire vehicles, and the rink will have more exits than is required by code. The board also felt that the issue of parking needed to be given careful and thorough consideration before final approval. With the loss of the 25-space lot due to the new construction on the south side of the rink, the board was concerned about the cumulative impact on campus-wide parking and asked to be provided with further details from the University's transportation office concerning how the distribution of parking around the rink fit into the overall campus plan. The board will meet again in December with final approval for the Lynah Rink expansion on the agenda. The ultimate go-ahead will rest on review and approval of the drainage system for the rink, details about sidewalks, bike racks and other landscaping features, and review and resolution of fire safety issues. "It seems like all of these politics take the same route and same path and everybody's concerns need to be addressed, but everything's moving along," Erber said.

T.O. Could Be Done For Good
T.O., T.O., T.O. – the sporting news has been overflowing with the name. But this time the situation surrounding unemployed receiver Terrell Owens is deserving of the media circus it has attracted. This isn't just another T.O. story. This is huge. HUGE. Clear your head. Find your happy place. This is the biggest thing to happen in sports in a long while. Sporting pillars are being shaken. On the heels of arbitrator Richard Bloch's decision to uphold the Eagles' original suspension of Terrell Owens, a single question is ringing in sports fans' ears everywhere: how can it be that the best receiver in football is out of a job? By all measures, this is wrong, insane, pathetic, impossible – take your pick. Over the past year, Owens has proven himself to be the filthiest of rats, the lowest of the low and the best receiver in football. His story is simple: he does – and says – whatever he wants, whenever he wants to. And in his spare time, he catches touchdowns. You can accuse him of being selfish, obnoxious and cocky, but one thing you can't accuse him of is being a phony. His behavior has been consistent, and the Eagles and Andy Reid got exactly what they asked for when they stole him away from the Ravens last offseason. No one cried over T.O.'s 20 touchdowns. Not a single tear was shed while the team watched Owens collect 124 receptions for a combined 1,963 yards over the past season and a half. But once the cordial Dr. Jekyll transformed into Mr. Hyde, the Eagles started finger-pointing and playing the blame game. But why? They got precisely what they asked for. Any culpability should be placed directly on Philly's shoulders. But now that the curtain has come down on T.O. Part II, I cannot help but wonder what the next act in this saga will bring. Where will he go? What team, or coach, can handle him? And the $64,000 question: will he ever play in the NFL again? I know it sounds absurd. I know. Many believe there's no way a guy with that much athletic talent and on-field upside can be turned away because he doesn't know the meaning of the word "tact." But if we slow this avalanche of drama down, there are a few good reasons that T.O.'s next job interview could result in a resounding "NO." Owens is 31 and not getting any younger. So he has little motivation to play for a team in the process of rebuilding. The man is looking to win now. But, as enamored as he is with himself, by position, T.O. is a complementary player. Without a talented and smart quarterback, T.O.'s ability means squat. There is no way he is going to sign on to play for a team, regardless of its record, if somebody like Kyle Orton is calling the plays and taking the snaps. Given these prerequisites – a team with realistic Super Bowl aspirations and a receiver-friendly, pass-first quarterback and offensive system – No. 81's options are somewhat limited. Now, I will agree his ability is indisputable. He is the best receiver in football. But as every NFL owner will agree, statistics may be dazzling, but mean nothing if they don't translate into rings and trophies. And so far, although T.O. has collected 101 touchdowns and appeared in five Pro-Bowls, he has never won a championship – a credential sorely lacking on his resume. And how many head coaches and GMs look at T.O. right now and think they can control him? Take Bill Parcells, the archetype of a strong-armed coach who has complete power over his team. He preaches teamwork and discipline. He knows how to measure statistics versus the intangible baggage that comes with many players (spotlight Keyshawn Johnson). That being said, if Parcells' calculations leave T.O. out on the street, I can't foresee any other coach feeling man enough to step up to the challenge. The most restraint Owens has shown in the past 18 months is refraining from outright calling Andy Reid a "girly man." He doesn't know the meaning of teamwork and has no idea what it means to be a supportive teammate (spotlight Donovan McNabb, Hugh Douglas, Jeff Garcia, and probably every pee-wee athlete ever to play on his team). A coach cannot rationalize introducing a player onto a cohesive, playoff-contending team with all this in mind. Can you imagine a quarterback with any pride accepting T.O. onto his team after T.O.'s public denouncements of the last two QBs he's teamed with? He'd be like Adam Banks joining the Mighty Ducks, except this isn't a Disney movie, and there isn't much chance of a happy ending. The situation is complicated. Owens' desire is to play for a winning team. But will a winning team want him? There are some playoff-contending teams right now who are a big-play receiver away from realistically making a run at landing a spot in Detroit (Cowboys, Broncos, Falcons, and Bucs to name a few) but will they take the risk that the Eagles took? They might see T.O. as that critical missing spark, but those same teams could just as easily view him as a cancer. It's hard to imagine that after the Eagles experience, a coach would ever again place the ticking time bomb that is Terrell Eldorad (Eldorad??) Owens in the middle of his locker room, and risk jeopardizing team chemistry and morale (which have been shown to be as vital as having a receiver who can make the big play). If his on-the-field actions are a secondary consideration to his off-the-field antics, then the chance of him being signed to a team in the near future seems improbable. In early 2005, Philadelphia Magazine ran an article in which the author wrote: "Terrell Owens rescued Philadelphia. He brought glamour and glitz and an electrifying jolt of good vibrations to the city." Hmmmm. Just talk to Andy Reid and Jeffrey Lurie now and see what they have to say about the matter. Good luck on finals. Ben Kopelman is a Sun Staff Writer. 2 Legit 2 Quit will appear every other Tuesday this semester.Archived article by Ben Kopelman

uation and to resolve the issues. At this meeting in which Giap apparently
played a large role, the party called for "a decisive blow" to "force
the U.S. to accept military defeat."33
Within a few months, the Communist forces launched the first phase
of their 1967-68 Winter-Spring Campaign. In a reverse of their usual
tactics, the North Vietnamese mounted mass assaults lasting over a period
of several days instead of attempting to disengage quickly. During September
and early October, the Marine outpost at Con Thien in the eastern DMZ
sector came under both infantry attack and artillery bombardment. Firing
from positions north of the 17th Parallel, enemy gunners employed artillery
pieces up to 152 millimeters. Repulsed at Con Thien, the North Vietnamese
then tried to overrun the district capital of Loc Ninh near the Cambodian
border in Binh Long Province north of Saigon along Route 13.
Again forced to pull back after several days of fighting and suffering
extensive losses, the enemy then struck in the Central Highlands at
Dak To near the junction of the Cambodian, Laotian, and South Vietnamese
borders. After 22 days of bloody combat in November, the North Vietnamese
forces withdrew after once more taking staggering casualties.34
By the end of December, 1967, the enemy appeared to be ready to make
a fresh assault in northwestern South Vietnam at Khe Sanh. Following
a period of relative calm since the battles earlier that spring near
this isolated Marine base, American intelligence picked up reports of
North Vietnamese troop movements in the sector. Although experiencing
only limited combat activity at Khe Sanh in December, one Marine company
commander declared that he could "smell" the enemy out there.35
To MACV, the North Vietnamese strategy appeared clear. It was an attempt
to draw the allied forces into remote areas where the enemy had the
advantage and then move to a "mobile War of Decision."36 To Lieutenant
General Krulak at FMFPac, the enemy's intent was also apparent. Quoting
General Giap, he later wrote: "The primary emphasis [is] to draw American
units into remote areas and thereby facilitate control of the population
of the lowlands." According to Krulak, the people were the final objective.37
Focus on the North
The increasing pressure by the North Vietnamese Army in late 1967
continued the pattern of large-unit operations in the border regions
of South Vietnam that had characterized the war, especially in the north,
since 1966. With the first incursion of enemy regulars in the summer
of that year, III MAF shifted forces north. Forced to fill the gap left
in southern I Corps, MACV in April 1967 reinforced the Marines in I
Corps with the Army's Task Force Oregon, which later, became the Americal
Division. After this-northward deployment, the DMZ sector and Khe Sanh
became the focus of allied concern.38
Given the emphasis on the northern battlefield, the Marines at the
direction of General Westmoreland in April 1967 began the erection of
the strong point obstacle system (SPOS) along the DMZ to prevent North
Vietnamese infiltration. Dubbed the "McNamara Line," after the U.S.
Secretary of Defense Robert S. McNamara, this so-called "barrier" was
to consist of three parts: (l) a linear-manned obstacle system in the
eastern DMZ sector extending some 34 kilometers to the sea and consisting
of barbed wire, a 600-meter-wide cleared trace, minefields, and electronic
and acoustic sensors; (2) a series of strong points to the Laotian border
built along obvious avenues of approach from the north with Khe Sanh
as the western anchor; and (3) in Laos, the seeding of suspected infiltration
routes with sensors monitored and supported by aircraft. Strong enemy
opposition and shortages of men and material slowed the progress of
the SPOS. By mid-September the 3d Marine Division had only completed
the clearing of the trace from Con Thien to Gio Linh, a distance of
13 kilometers. Faced with mounting casualties, General Westmoreland
approved a modification to his original plans. In essence, the division
was to halt all construction of the trace until "after the tactical
situation had stabilized," and continue only with the work on the strong
points and base areas. By the end of 1967, the Marines had completed
work on the four strong points and all but two of the base areas. In
the western sector of the barrier, only the base at Khe Sanh existed.39
With the 3d Marine Division tied down in fixed positions along the
eastern DMZ and at Khe Sanh, manpower considerations became an overriding
concern for both III MAF and MACV. Earlier in the year, during the spring,
General Westmoreland had requested an increase in his authorized strength.
Asking for a minimum of 80,000 more men (his optimum figure being nearly
200,000), he planned to reinforce the Marines in I Corps with at least

Google, Microsoft and Facebook are among eight leading cloud and tech firms calling for sweeping reform in how US intelligence agencies gather data in bulk and restrict the ability of service providers to inform their customers on the extent and nature of government requests for such data, according to an open letter published by the group today.
Eight cloud service providers – Apple, AOL, Facebook, Google, LinkedIn, Microsoft, Twitter and Yahoo have published an open letter addressed to the US president and members of Congress calling on the US government to stop bulk data gathering for intelligence purposes.
The move follows a summer of leaks detailing the extent of the NSA's digital intelligence gathering techniques, methods that continue to draw rebuke from consumers and service providers. Most of the companies involved are among those to have called for more transparency over the nature and extent of government requests for data immediately following the leaks.
Instead, the government should codify limitations on its ability to compel service providers to disclose user data, limit surveillance to "specific, known users," and allow service providers more transparency over government demands for user information.
"It's time for reform and we urge the US government to lead the way," Page added.
The tech companies are calling for governments around the world to adopt a charter of principles which include limiting governments' ability to collect user information, improving oversight and accountability through a clear legal framework and the scrutiny of independent courts, increase transparency around government requests for data, and avoid adopting legal frameworks that conflict between countries.
The group also said governments, in responding to the surveillance revelations should not require service providers to build out infrastructure within a country's borders just to be able to operate locally, a concept leaders in Germany and Brazil have openly flirted with.
The latest move by the cloud companies is perhaps the most united, detailed articulation of the need for reform since details of the NSA's bulk data gathering techniques were leaked earlier this year. But while these companies place most of the blame squarely on governments and largely seek public sector reform, some say service providers also need to assess how their own data retention practices play an important role in the broader reform process.
"This very public display of unity is essentially an acknowledgement from these large internet companies that the public has begun to lose trust in them, and as a result in the internet as a whole," said Rafael Laguna, chief executive officer of Open-Xchange, a cloud-based collaboration service provider.
"Charity begins at home, and the first step to rebuilding trust in an open internet is to address their own data retention policies before pointing the finger elsewhere," Laguna said.
"Too often the likes of Facebook and Google run such a monopoly that they define the terms in which the web is experienced – but even they recognise that this isn't completely unshakeable; if people lose faith in their services and move to alternatives, revenues will take a big hit," he added.

Blake Shelton Admits Christina Aguilera Brought Out His 'Voice'
Marina Galperina
Marina Galperina Published: November 2, 2011

Blake Shelton may be a superstar coach on NBC's hit music competition show 'The Voice,' but at a recent press conference we attended in Los Angeles, the singer admitted to initially being intimidated by that experience. As "a country guy stepping into this with these three" -- fellow coaches Cee Lo Green, Adam Levine and Christina Aguilera -- Blake admits he was "scared."
"They're worldwide stars; they're larger than life," Blake said. "I'm a country singer ... this country. Country singers are pretty much United States guys ... They don't know me in Australia, damnit, that's what I'm saying."
Blake also confessed to being worried about the "over-saturation of shows of this kind," explaining, "I signed on originally because of the others who were involved. I dragged my feet a little bit as far as making a commitment on whether or not I wanted to do this. Once I saw who the other three were, I was like, holy s---! I read about Christina Aguilera all the time! I know she's a big deal. These other people know what they're doing. This is not my world. I decided because I figured they all three would know something I don't know."
Blake's humility opened the door for some punchlines from Christina. "I'm going to tell your team that," she quipped, as those in the press conference erupted in laughter. "That's great!"
We're sure Blake's team -- plucked from "blind auditions," mentored, trained and pitted against the other teams and each other -- will do just fine. As for the country coach, he says the experience of mentoring up-and-comers and taking them on tour has been invaluable. "Having been a guy who's been doing this for many years, as far as radio and stuff, it's easy to get calloused and it's easy to forget what it was like to not have this ... It was a reminder. Somewhere along the way I forgot what it was like. It rejuvenated me and made me excited about what I do all over again."
Season two of 'The Voice' will premiere immediately following the Super Bowl on NBC, Feb. 5, 2012. Each team will now start with twelve instead of eight members for the superstars to mentor. As a special opening surprise, the four coaches will perform together -- a little secret that came out prematurely. "We shouldn't talk about what we're doing but it all came together so easily. We're like the weirdest, coolest band ever," Adam Levine hinted.
"When the four of us come on stage together, we have a truly kick-a-- opening performance this year," Christina added. "But I'm not allowed to say anything!"
"We've become extended family," said Cee-Lo Green. "It's a very sweet feeling, it's very genuine and honest and organic." And, apparently, rowdy, according to Christina, the lone lady in a gang of dudes: "You're in a guys' locker room all the time," she laments. "There's some raunchy things that go down. It takes a strong woman to hold her own among a bunch of rowdy guys."
And with that, the comedic tables turned, with Blake responding, "There's no reason we can't all talk about boobs."

Assessment of the peripheral arterial system Age is a major independent risk factor for the development of peripheral arterial disease (PAD). 27 Given that many older people with asymptomatic PAD have evidence of subclinical cardiovascular disease, lower limb arterial supply has been described as one of the 'vital signs' of an older person's health status,28 and footcare specialists are well placed to detect early signs of vascular disease in asymptomatic older people. 29 The classical early presentation of ischaemically induced pain is intermittent claudication, a tight, cramping pain in the calf region (or, less commonly, in the thigh, buttocks or foot) that occurs when walking and is relieved by rest.
Within wound grade there are four stages: clean wounds (stage A), non-ischaemic infected wounds (stage B), ischaemic noninfected wounds (stage C) and ischaemic infected wounds (stage D). 25 Management of wounds is discussed in Chapter 7. VASCULAR ASSESSMENT As outlined in Chapter 2, ageing is associated with significant changes in the structure and function of peripheral blood vessels, resulting in reduced function of both the peripheral arterial and venous systems. These changes commonly manifest in the foot and ankle, increasing the risk of arterial insufficiency, venous stasis and ulceration.

Q: MongoDB Grouping Query I'm working on a Meteor application and I have data for a weekly timetable of the format -
events:
    event:
       day: "Monday"
       time: "9am"
       location: "A"
    event:
       day: "Monday"
       time: "10am"
       location: "B"

There are numerous entries for each day. Can I run a query that will return an object of the format -
day: "Monday"
   events:
      event:
         time: "9am"
         location: "A"
      event:
         time: "10am"
         location: "B"

I could store the object in the second format but prefer the first for ease of deleting and updating individual events.
I also want to return them ordered by day of week if there's a nice way to do that.

A: To achieve the desired result, use the aggregation framework where the $group pipeline operator groups all the input documents and apply the accumulator expression $push to the group to get the events array.
Your pipeline would look like this:
var Events = new Mongo.Collection('events');
var pipeline = [
    {
        "$group": {
            "_id": "$day",
            "events": {
                "$push": {
                    "time": "$time"
                    "location": "$location"
                }
            }
        }
    },
    {
        "$project": {
            "_id": 0, "day": "$_id", "events": 1
        }
    }
];
var result = Events.aggregate(pipeline);
console.log(result)

You can add the meteorhacks:aggregate package to implement the aggregation in Meteor:
Add to your app with
meteor add meteorhacks:aggregate

Since this package exposes .aggregate method on Mongo.Collection instances, you can define a method that gets the aggregated result array. For example
if (Meteor.isServer) {
    var Events = new Mongo.Collection('events');
    Meteor.methods({
        getGroupedDailyEvents: function () {
            var pipeline = [
                {
                    "$group": {
                        "_id": "$day",
                        "events": {
                            "$push": {
                                "time": "$time"
                                "location": "$location"
                            }
                        }
                    }
                },
                {
                    "$project": {
                        "_id": 0, "day": "$_id", "events": 1
                    }
                }
            ];
            var result = Events.aggregate(pipeline);
            return result;
        }
    });
}

if (Meteor.isClient) {
    Meteor.call('getGroupedDailyEvents', logResult);

    function logResult(err, res) {
        console.log("Result: ", res)
    }
}

A: Several options:

*

*You can use an aggregation command but be warned, you will loose reactivity: it means that except when you reload your template, you will not get external updates. You would also need to use a package to add the aggregation command to Meteor in order to achieve that.

*My personal favorite: you don't need to aggregate (and loose reactivity) to achieve your data transformation. You can use a simple Collection.find() query and extend/reduce/modify it using a clever mix of cursor.Observe() and conditional modifications. Have a look at this answer, it did the trick for me (I needed a sum with black listing of some fields, but you can easily adapt it to your group/sorting case) : https://stackoverflow.com/a/30813050/3793161. Comment if you need more details on this

*If you plan to have several servers, be warned that each server will have to observe so it may lead to an unnecessary load. So my third solution is either use collection hooks or methods to update an additional field containing every event for each day/user (whatever you need).See @David Weldon answer about that here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/31190896/3793161. In you case, it would probably mean to re-think your database structure to fit your needs (i.e. adding more fields so you ca update them on insert.

EDIT Here are some thoughts on your comment:
If you stick to what you described in the question, you would need seven documents, one per day, with an events field where you put all the events. My second solution is good if you need to rework a collection structure before sending it. However, in your case, you just need an object week with 7 sub-objects matching the days of the week.
I advise you to possible approaches:

*

*use the aggregation in a method, as described by @chridam. Be warned that you will not be able to directly get a sorted array, as stated in mongo $group documentation

$group does not order its output documents

So you need to sort them (by day and by hour within each day) using, for example _.sortBy() before you return your method result. By the way, if you want to know what is going on in your method call, clientside, here is how you should write the call:
Meteor.call("getGroupedDailyEvents", userId, function(error, result){
    if(error){
        console.log("error", error);
    }
    if(result){
         //do whatever you need
    }
});

*

*Make the data sorting client-side. You are looking for an overkill solution because, afaik, you don't need to filter any data to keep it from the user, and you are going to send the data anyway (just with another structure). This is much easier to make a simple helper in your template like this:
Template.displaySchedule.helpers({

    "monday_events": function() {
        return _.sortBy (events.find({day:"Monday"}).fetch(), "time")
    },
    //add other days
);

It assumes the format of your time field is sortable this way. If not, you just need to create a function to sort them accordingly to their formats or change the original format into something better suited.
The rest (HTML) would just be to iterate on Monday events using a {{#each monday_events}}

Could these giant dinosaurs have lifted up their pictured prey?
COULD some of the biggest-ever dinosaur predators have paired up to carry their 1.9-tonne sauropod prey? Donald Henderson of the Royal Tyrrell Museum of Palaeontology in Alberta, Canada, set about finding out after seeing an artwork depicting two Carcharodontosaurus saharicus, theropod relatives of T. rex, carrying each end of a 10-meter-long sauropod in their 1.6-metre-long jaws.
His results? They could have balanced just fine, but their neck and jaw muscles would have been too weak for the feat. The pair could only have picked up 850 kilograms between them – about the mass of a large cow, but not a large sauropod (The Anatomical Record, doi.org/379).


Happy St. Patrick's Day! If you're like us, you're celebrating the Irish holiday with a spiked coffee drink that will keep you buzzed and wired all day long. Of course, we're talking about Irish Coffee.
Irish Coffee is one of the world's most popular drinks, but how did it become so popular? And where did it begin?
Irish Coffee was invented in Foynes, a small town in the west of Ireland. Foynes was an airbase near Limerick, and was the man airport for Flying Boats between America and Europe.
By 1940, the airport was handling many passengers from around the world, including top politicians and world leaders. And since weather conditions are notoriously bad in Western Ireland, it wasn't uncommon to find yourself turning your 30-minute layover into an overnight stay.
In 1943, Brendan O'Regan opened a restaurant opened and hired Joe Sheridan to be the chef. That winter, a Pan Am flying boat flight to New York turned back to Foynes due to bad weather. Sheridan was tasked with preparing hot food and drinks for the freezing passengers.
Sheridan decided to prepare something special to heat up the passengers — so he brewed dark, rich coffee, added in some Irish whiskey, a little brown sugar, and fresh whipped cream on top of each cup.
One passenger thanked him for the wonderful drink and asked if used Brazilian Coffee — to which Sheridan responded with "No, it was Irish Coffee!" Just like that, Irish Coffee was born and Joe Sheridan instantly became an international hero. I mean, coffee and whiskey?! Is there a better combination?
Irish Coffee was an instant hit — so much so that he made it a regular part of the menu in Foynes. And it became an international hit when Stanton Delaplane, a travel writer from San Francisco, brought the recipe back to America.
By 1945, the era of the Flying Boat was coming to an end and Foynes closed in order to make way for land planes. Shannon International Airport opened its doors, and Sheridan took his famous drink to the new airport there. He worked there until 1952, when the Buena Vista Cafe offered him a job in San Francisco. Sheridan is remembered in Shannon and the story of Irish Coffee is honored in the Foynes Flying Boat Museum.

The deteriorating political situation in Hong Kong threatens to severely muddy the financial gateway between East and West.
Alibaba Group, which listed in New York five years ago, may delay a planned Hong Kong float that was set to raise upwards of $20 billion as early as this month.
Per Reuters: "The listing was always expected to be a complex affair because of China's tight control of cross-border share trading, but Hong Kong's unrest has taken the complexity several notches higher."
The Hang Seng Index fell more than 10% between the beginning of August through this past Wednesday. It has since recovered slightly, bringing the monthly loss to 8.6%, but is now the only major developed market index in the red for 2019.
If the protesters succeed in maintaining, or even furthering, "one country, two systems" governance, then it likely would keep global capital flowing through Hong Kong.
But it's unclear how China can possibly allow that to happen without eroding its authoritarian bonafides on the Mainland, and almost any crackdown would be viewed as ripping down the legal fabric that made Hong Kong a financial powerhouse in the first place.

8chan may be gone from the Internet, but it lives on in yesterday's IPO filing for Cloudflare.
Cloudflare kicked the toxic message-board off its network after the El Paso massacre, in a pretty quick policy reversal that felt at least partially tied to the IPO plans.
In its S-1 filing, the company says that its decision to work with 8chan and, previously, a neo-Nazi website called The Daily Stormer, had caused certain potential customers to go elsewhere. Conversely, Cloudflare says that booting the sites also cost it some business:
"We received significant adverse feedback for these decisions from those concerned about our ability to pass judgment on our customers and the users of our platform, or to censor them by limiting their access to our product,and we are aware of potential customers who decided not to subscribe to our products because of this."
• If you're trying to slip a Form D filing past us media folks, now might be your moment. The SEC this week made a back-end change to its website that apparently included the following piece of code: molasses.xml.
The BFD
Oyak, the Turkish military's $18 billion pension fund, reached a preliminary agreement to buy British Steel out of bankruptcy. No financial terms were disclosed, but The Guardian reports that Oyak would pay £70 million for the business and commit to invest another £900 million to double production capacity.
Why it's the BFD: The deal could save nearly 5,000 jobs and the broader British steel-making industry, once the world's largest but since hollowed out by decades of financial pressures (the latest of which is Brexit).
Backstory: Private equity firm Greybull Capital bought British Steel in 2016 for just a single pound, but the company fell into liquidation this past May. Oyak already holds major stakes in Turkish steelmakers via its Ataer unit.
Bottom line: "EU steelmakers have been at odds with Turkey as they debate safeguards to protect themselves from the impact of U.S. trade tariffs. The tariffs have pushed surplus steel into Europe, especially from Turkey, which has overtaken China as the EU's biggest foreign steel supplier." — Reuters

Anthoine Hubert: Formula 1 pays tribute with minute's silence before Belgian GP

Formula 1 held a minute's silence in memory of Anthoine Hubert before Sunday's Belgian Grand Prix.
The Formula 2 driver, 22, died in a crash at the Spa-Francorchamps circuit.
Since a movie honouring the motorist was played at the monitor, f1 agents stumbled around one of his helmets.
Tributes continued throughout the race since fans were seen by lap 19 – .
And race winner Charles Leclerc dedicated his victory.
"This is to get Anthoine," he explained over group wireless after crossing the line. "Feels good, but hard to enjoy on a weekend in this way."
Earlier in the afternoon, the mother and brother of Hubert joined drivers out of F2 and Formula 3 to watch a moment's silence.
On Sunday morning the F1 Twitter account declared:"Today we race. We do this with the heaviest of hearts, also we carry Anthoine's memory throughout. Racing is our fantasy and our enthusiasm. We are defined by it. So we race for Anthoine. And now, and always, we honor him."
Hubert endured a Enormous impact at approximately 170mph at the Raidillon swerves from American Juan Manuel Correa's automobile.
His condition is stable, after operation, although correa is in intensive care. The 20-year-old suffered fractures to both his thighs and also a"slight spinal injury" in the accident and was taken to hospital by helicopter.
Governing body the FIA will start a complete investigation into the injury the way security features and the automobiles at the track behaved from the wreck and which will reevaluate its causes.
Hubert appears to have sustained two impacts – one with the hurdles on very top of Raidillon, and another if his car was struck broadside by that of Correa, whose auto subsequently turned upside down and skidded along the track onto its'halo' head-protection apparatus.
Following his injury, a report has been created in the event of F1 driver Jules Bianchi, who suffered fatal head injuries in an accident in the 2014 Japanese Grand Prix at Suzuka.
But there isn't any specific timeframe – that the FIA safety section will take some time to study all factors that are important before publishing its report, which will feed into the next actions in terms.

The brave Rottweiler is strong and true with a loving heart! The breed originated in Germany, where it was used to drive cattle and pull carts for farmers and butchers. That heritage is reflected in the Rottie's broad chest and muscular body. When he moves, he displays strength and stamina! But, when you look into his eyes, you see warm, dark-brown pools reflecting a mellow, intelligent, alert, and fearless expression.


SUiT is a band with Dutch and German members. European integration through rock? It seems the right place to start, as music conquers all borders and convictions. Two members studied at the Rock Academy of Tilburg and two at the Pop Academy of Mannheim. The four members met during an exchange program and started to work together. The Girl, The God, The Rush is SUiT's debut album. A lot of good is to be written on it as you'll find out by reading on.
While listening for the first time to SUiT I noticed a lot of similarities with the more serious or better, the less eclectic side of Franz Ferdinand. Suit is able to rock in the same kind of way while keeping the break on the whole time. The dancing without going wild sort of music the Scottish band is also so good at.
This was just my first impression as there is so much more going on on The Girl, The God, The Rush. It's the kind of album that takes the listener on a tour across different sorts of music and moods. SUiT is a band that mastered several musical styles and genres, without any qualms to play them all for us.
Another thing that is noticeable is the how the members of this band master their instruments. There is no hesitation in leaving holes and silences in the songs. This makes the individual instruments stand out. Everything is heard. There are no overdubs or extra instruments. Just guitar(s), bass, drums. When the second guitar comes in for a heavily distorted solo in 'Over The Next Hill', the first clean rhythm guitar drops away. It is not 100% so, true, but in the basis this song is this "clean".
SUiT has another boon. It can take the tempo off and remain interesting and so strongly convincing. In part that is in the voice. Alexander Braunbarth has this extremely pleasant rock voice. The vocal melodies are nearly all strong and convincing. The music is resourceful, involving some risks as too empty is often boring and that is what SUiT is not. Even the perhaps weakest song on the album '1Q84' (sorry, I liked the books better) still has its moments and stands its ground.
In general SuiT is a two guitar band. Both singer Brautbarth as Ivo Schot play the guitar, with Rutger Martens on bass and Stefan Wandel on drums. Next to writing songs with a lot of empty spaces there are several with the chugging rhythms of desert rock, while the rhythm playing of U2's The Edge clearly has been studied into the fine little details. All these, as such, fine details do lead me to the following comment.
In part the songs on this album seem to be the exams leading to the graduation from the respective academies. The influences of the originals are easily divined. (Write them in the comment section if you like.) For a first album that is fine of course. SuiT has clearly put its whole into it and graduated with flying colours. Simply because there is so much to enjoy on The Girl, The God, The Rush. The band dares to show itself and its proficiency by leaving a lot that could have been in here out. This album is a fine blueprint of where SUiT is at in 2018. If the band manages to set the next steps through touring more the follow up ought to be smashing.
