http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/presidential-weekly-address-11-20-2010 1/50



Today, I¶d like to speak with you about an issue that is fundamental to America¶s nationalsecurity: the need for the Senate to approve the New START Treaty this year.

This Treaty is rooted in a practice that dates back to Ronald Reagan. The idea is simple ± as thetwo nations with over 90 percent of the world¶s nuclear weapons, the United States and Russia

have a responsibility to work together to reduce our arsenals. And to ensure that our nationalsecurity is protected, the United States has an interest in tracking Russia¶s nuclear arsenalthrough a verification effort that puts U.S. inspectors on the ground. As President Reagan saidwhen he signed a nuclear arms treaty with the Soviet Union in 1987, ³Trust, but verify.´

That is precisely what the New START Treaty does. After nearly a full year of negotiations, wecompleted an agreement earlier this year that cuts by a third the number of long-range nuclear weapons and delivery vehicles that the United States and Russia can deploy, while ensuring thatAmerica retains a strong nuclear deterrent, and can put inspectors back on the ground in Russia.

The Treaty also helped us reset our relations with Russia, which led to concrete benefits. For

instance, Russia has been indispensable to our efforts to enforce strong sanctions on Iran, tosecure loose nuclear material from terrorists, and to equip our troops in Afghanistan.

All of this will be put to risk if the Senate does not pass the New START Treaty.

Without ratification this year, the United States will have no inspectors on the ground, and noability to verify Russian nuclear activities. So those who would block this treaty are breakingPresident Reagan¶s rule ± they want to trust, but not verify.

Without ratification, we put at risk the coalition that we have built to put pressure on Iran, andthe transit route through Russia that we use to equip our troops in Afghanistan. And without

ratification, we risk undoing decades of American leadership on nuclear security, and decades of bipartisanship on this issue. Our security and our position in the world are at stake.

Indeed, since the Reagan years, every President has pursued a negotiated, verified, armsreduction treaty. And every time that these treaties have been reviewed by the Senate, they have passed with over 85 votes. Bipartisan support for New START could not be stronger. It has beenendorsed by Republicans from the Reagan Administration and both Bush Administrations ± including Colin Powell, George Shultz, Jim Baker, and Henry Kissinger. And it was approved bythe Senate Foreign Relations Committee by a strong bipartisan vote of 14-4.

Over the last several months, several questions have been asked about New START, and we

have answered every single one. Some have asked whether it will limit our missile defense ± itwill not. Some, including Senator Jon Kyl, have asked that we modernize our nuclear infrastructure for the 21st century ± we are doing so, and plan to invest at least $85 billion in thateffort over the next ten years ± a significant increase from the Bush Administration.

Finally, some make no argument against the Treaty ± they just ask for more time. But remember this: it has already been 11 months since we¶ve had inspectors in Russia, and every day that goes by without ratification is a day that we lose confidence in our understanding of Russia¶s nuclear



weapons. If the Senate doesn¶t act this year ± after six months, 18 hearings, and nearly athousand questions answered ± it would have to start over from scratch in January.

The choice is clear: a failure to ratify New START would be a dangerous gamble with America¶snational security, setting back our understanding of Russia¶s nuclear weapons, as well as our

leadership in the world. That is not what the American people sent us to Washington to do.

There is enough gridlock, enough bickering. If there is one issue that should unite us ± asRepublicans and Democrats ± it should be our national security.

Some things are bigger than politics. As Republican Dick Lugar said the other day, ³EverySenator has an obligation in the national security interest to take a stand, to do his or her duty.´

Senator Lugar is right. And if the Senate passes this treaty, it will not be an achievement for Democrats or Republicans ± it will be a win for America.

Thanks.

always were and where?

Idea, a conception or abstraction. The natureof ideas²how real they are and how theyget their meaning²is a fundamentalquestion of philosophy.

Plato and numerous other classical authors attested to the military value of armies made up of lovers. When Epaminondas fell in battle at Mantineia, his youthful lover died beside him. Oneof his earlier boy lovers, Kaphisodoros, became the most formidable Theban warrior of his

era. Xenophon¶s reference to the valor displayed by Episthenes exempliKNes the passion of

seasoned Thebans of the 370s for impressing young men with their prowess. Among theSpartans, it was common for lovers to be in battle together, but unlike the Thebans, suchpairings of individuals were not integral to their military organization. Instead, the Spartanspracticed a deliberate transference of authority from fathers or families to groups of o lder males, who were in turn responsible for younger men, adolescents, and boys.

Without ratification this year, the United States will have no inspectors on the ground, and noability to verify Russian nuclear activities.

So those who would block this treaty are breaking President Reagan¶s rule ± they want to trust, but not verify.

Without ratification, we put at risk the coalition that we have built to put pressure on Iran, and

the transit route through Russia that we use to equip our troops in Afghanistan.

And without ratification, we risk undoing decades of American leadership on nuclear security,and decades of bipartisanship on this issue. Our security and our position in the world are atstake.

The prevailing opinion today is that both Athens andSparta were exceptional city-states, both in size and in

government.17 It is also admitted that the Spartan way of

life was an exception in the Classical Age,18 whereas far

more poleis, especially democratically governed poleis,seem to have been like Athens. In spite of which,when the question comes up about the relation betweenstate and society, many still stick to the older view, that inGreece there was no such thing as a private sphere over against a public sphere, and that the polis was a type of society in which everything was determined politically and

there was no personal freedom.19

Rigid determinism abolishes the idea of human freedom²the assumption of free choice thatunderlies every move we make, every word we speak,every thought we think. It abolishes the idea of human

responsibility, since it is manifestly unfair to reward or punish people for actions that are by definition beyondtheir control. No one can live consistently by anydeterministic creed. The Marxist states prove thisthemselves by their extreme susceptibility to the cult of leadership.

This area included seven flattoppedhills that curved outward toward the Tiber River.The most northerly hills were the Quirinal, Viminal,Esquiline, and Caelian. Between these hills and theTiber River stood the steep Palatine Hill and the evensteeper Capitoline Hill. To the south of these stood theAventine Hill. A broad, swampy area between thePalatine and Capitoline hills was agriculturallyunproductive until the area was drained centurieslater.

Thus, for example, Mithra, according to Tertulianus,introduced the custom of blessing by laying thehands on the head or the brow of those to whom hewished to insure rosperity, and he also adoptedamong his mysteries a practice resembling the

breaking of the bread in the Eucharist. So far as the blessing by the laying on of hands is concerned,Mithra especially used it in giving courage to the

men whom he sent out as soldiers to war.

IS WYSIWUG?

Vestal Virgins were responsible for keeping the fire of Vesta burning at all times. If the fire were to go out, it would beconsidered a warning that some great evil would befall Romeand its people. These young women, chosen from prestigiousRoman families, enjoyed all the privileges afforded todiplomats and wealthy Romans. For the privilege of tendingthe fire of Vesta, the young women vowed to remain chastefor thirty years, after which they could leave the cloister andget married. The penalty for breaking their vows, however,

was to be buried alive.

I'm 14 years old and a virgin. When I explore myself or masturbate I

find that I can fit at least 3 fingers inside myself without much

discomf ort. I haven't had sex and yet it f eels like I'm stretched out or

something. Could this mean that I really am just loose? I mean I've

been fingered by my boyfriend bef ore but never anything else.

Shouldn't my hymen be intact? My friend told me that the heavier

your period flow is how wideset you are *downthere*. What could

she mean by that? I'm so confused and embarrassed that I don't

know better. Please help.

(February 2009) An estimated 100 million to 140 million girls and women worldwide have undergone f emale genital mutilation/cutting (FGM/C) and more than

3 million girls are at risk f or cutting each year on the African continent alone. FGM/C is generally perf ormed on girls between ages 4 and 12, although it is

practiced in some cultures as early as a f ew days after birth or as late as just prior tomarriage. FGM/C poses serious physical and mental health risks f or women

and young girls. According to a 2006 WHO study, FGM/C can be linked to increased complications in childbirth and even maternal deaths. Other side eff ects

include severe pain, hemorrhage, tetanus, inf ection, inf ertility, cysts and abscesses, urinary incontinence, and psychological and sexual problems. Since the

early 1990s, FGM/C has gained recognition as a health andhuman rights issue.



President Reagan said when he signed a nuclear arms treaty with the Soviet Union in 1987,³Trust, but verify.´


The Treaty also helped us reset our relations with Russia, which led to concrete benefits. For instance, Russia has been indispensable to our efforts to enforce strong sanctions on Iran, tosecure loose nuclear material from terrorists, and to equip our troops in Afghanistan.

There were seven legendary rulers, or kings, of Rome:The first king, Romulus, instituted the Senate; the secondking, Numa Pompilius, established priesthoods; the thirdking, Tullus Hostilius, expanded Rome¶s influence andglory through war; and the fourth king, Ancus Marcius,established procedures for declaring war. The remainingkings included the fifth, Tarquinius Priscus; the sixth,

Servius Tullius; and the seventh, Tarquinius Superbus.11

To judge from our sources, most poleis were

split into two rival poleis,2 one of the rich, who supported

oligarchy, and one of the poor, who preferred democracy.3

The rival parties could also be di·erent ethnic groups livingside by side in the same polis, a situation typical of poleis

founded by colonists from several di·erent city-states.4 Or

the community could be polarised around two rival groups

of rich contending for power.5 In all those cases

the purpose of both groups was to control and, if

necessary, reform the institutions of the city.6

When the mountain had been gained, and our men were advancing up,

the Boii and Tulingi, who with about 15,000 men closed the enemy's

line of march and served as a guard to their rear, having assailed our

men on the exposed flank as they advanced [prepared] to surround

them; upon seeing which, the Helvetii who had betaken themselves to

the mountain, began to press on again and renew the battle. The

Romans having faced about, advanced to the attack in two divisions;

the first and second line, to withstand those who had been def eated

and driven off the field; the third to receive those who were just

arriving.

Oengus was asleep one night when he saw something like a

young girl coming towards the head of his bed, and she was the

most beautiful woman in Eriu. He made to take her hand and

draw her to his bed, but, as he welcomed her, she vanished

suddenly, and he did not know who had taken her from him. He

remained in bed until the morning , but he was troubled in his

mind: the form he had seen but not spoken to was making him ill.

No food entered his mouth that day. He waited until evening,

and then he saw a timpn in her hand, the sweetest ever, and

she played for him until he fell asleep. Thus he was all night, and

It is possible that it was our ancestors who,several thousand years before the Christian era,

inhabited Scandinavia, in the stone age.

Learned investigations have in every case

proved as most probable and reasonable that

people of the bronze age, both before and after

the year 1000 B.C., belonged to the same race

as the Northmen of the iron age, so that our heathen era stretches over a space of at least

two thousand years.

A queue is like the checkout line at the supermarket where the first customer isat the front of the line, the second customer is next in line, and so on until youreach the last customer who is at the back of the line. Customers check out of the supermarket in the order they arrive in the line. That is, the first customer isthe first one to check out. This is referred to as first in, first out (fifo).





Without ratification, we put at risk the coalition that we have built to put pressure on Iran, andthe transit route through Russia that we use to equip our troops in Afghanistan. And withoutratification, we risk undoing decades of American leadership on nuclear security, and decades of bipartisanship on this issue. Our security and our position in the world are at stake.

Democracy does not eliminate emotion from politics;sometimes it fosters demagoguery; but it is confident that, athe greatest of democratic leaders put it, you cannot fool al

the people all of the time. It measures leadership by results retires those who overreach or falter or fail.

The African native thinks that the world and everything in it

must be obedient to sorcerers, magicians who have the power of commanding the elements. This belief is bound up withanother - the continuing existence of the soul after death.

Magicians are able to call on souls to aid their powers. Thesouls of the dead often transmigrate into the bodies of animals, or may even be reincarnated in plants, when the

natives think themselves bound to such by a close link of kinship. Thus the Zulus refrain from killing certain species of snakes which they think are the spirits of their relatives.

Thus the grove, and the land in whichit is situated, exist after the flames of Ragnarok are extinguished. Was it

thought that the grove after theregeneration was to continue in thelower world and there stand

uninhabited, abandoned, desolate, andwithout a purpose in thefuture existence of gods, men, and

things?

A child below the age of seven was called aninfans, a ³non-speaker.´ Later children were collectively known as liberi , a reference, perhaps, to the fact that

they were ³free´ of responsibility. Life began for a Roman infant when his father symbolically acknowledged paternity by picking up the child laid at his feet.Soon thereafter, the baby was placed under the protection of his paterfamilias

and his household gods and given both a name and abulla.



Indeed, since the Reagan years, every President has pursued a negotiated, verified, armsreduction treaty.



Over the last several months, several questions have been asked about New START, and wehave answered every single one. Some have asked whether it will limit our missile defense ± it

will not. Some, including Senator Jon Kyl, have asked that we modernize our nuclear infrastructure for the 21st century ± we are doing so, and plan to invest at least $85 billion in thateffort over the next ten years ± a significant increase from the Bush Administration.

Bodies were not burned, but were placed in raised mounds in a tightly closed stone

setting or in chests of hollowed trunks of oaks. Later, however, the burning of bodies

became more

and more common;

ashes were preserved in stone vessels or most often in clayurns within the mounds; many times use was made of old mounds from the

stone age.

And that broken by such engagements and calamities, although they

had f ormerly been very powerful in Gaul, both from their own valor

and from the Roman people's hospitality and friendship, they were

now compelled to give the chief nobles of their state, as hostages to

the Sequani, and to bind their state by an oath, that they would

neither demand hostages in return, nor supplicate aid from the

Roman people, nor refuse to be f orever under their sway and empire.

Considerable parts of the Roman empire were settled by the Teutons or governed by their swords. The Franks were on the point of entering theChristian Church, and behind them the Alamannians andLongobardians. Their myths and sagas were reconstructed so far as theycould be adapted to the new forms and ideas, and if they, more or lesstransformed, ssumed the garb of a Christian legend, then this guiseenabled them to travel to the utmost limits of Christendom;

At the beginning of the Christian era, the Danes,

Norwegians, and Swedes constituted but one tribe,

speaking the same language, Urn.or disk, Primitive

Norse.



Finally, some make no argument against the Treaty ± they just ask for more time. But remember this: it has already been 11 months since we¶ve had inspectors in Russia, and every day that goes by without ratification is a day that we lose confidence in our understanding of Russia¶s nuclear

weapons. If the Senate doesn¶t act this year ± after six months, 18 hearings, and nearly athousand questions answered ± it would have to start over from scratch in January.

The choice is clear: a failure to ratify New START would be a dangerous gamble withAmerica¶s national security, setting back our understanding of Russia¶s nuclear weapons, as wellas our leadership in the world. That is not what the American people sent us to Washington to

do.

Unless there was some aid in Caesar and the Roman people, the Gauls must all do the same thing that the Helvetii have

done, [viz.] emigrate from their country, and seek another dwelling place, other settlements remote from the Germans,

and try whatever f ortune may fall to their lot. If these things were to be disclosed to Ariovistus, [Divitiacus adds] that he

doubts not that he would inflict the most severe punishment on all the hostages who are in his possession, [and says]

that Caesar could, either by his own influence and by that of his army, or by his late victory, or by name of the Roman

people, intimidate him, so as to prevent a greater number of Germans being brought over the Rhine, and could protect

all Gaul from the outrages of Ariovistus.

A latifundium is term that is made up of two Latin root words.Latus is a Latin adjective meaning ³wide´ and fundus is a noun

that means ³base,´ ³bottom´ or ³foundation.´ And so a big farmwas literally something with a wide or expansive base or ground.

Programmers use arrays to store values that arereferenced by a stack. As you¶ll recall from Chapter 3,an array consists of a series of array elements, each of which is similar in concept to a variable. The stack contains the index of the array element that is at the topof the stack.

This Treaty is rooted in a practice that dates back to Ronald Reagan. The idea is simple ± as the

two nations with over 90 percent of the world¶s nuclear weapons, the United States and Russiahave a responsibility to work together to reduce our arsenals.

At the simplest level, a battle is any clash between organized forces of combatants.

So contends the thesis of historical determinism. Tolstoy¶s great novel War and Peace offers a famousstatement of the case.Why, Tolstoy asked, did millions of men in the Napoleonic Wars, denying their human feelings and their common sense, move back and forth across Europe slaughtering their fellows?

³The war,´ Tolstoy answered, ³was bound to happen simply because it was bound to happen.´ All prior history determined it. As for leaders, they, Tolstoy said, ³are but the labels that serve to give a name to anend and, like labels, they have the least possible connection with the event.´ The greater the leader, ³the

more conspicuous the inevitability and the predestination of every act he commits.´ The leader, saidTolstoy, is ³the slave of history.´

The majority of slaves worked in agriculture and industry. The nature of their workvaried enormously. In farming, for example, one slave might perform the lowest type

of drudgery, actually pulling a plow through a fi eld, while another was privileged toserve as overseer with power over all the farm slaves.In industry, at one end of the spectrum were slaves who performed the dangerouswork of a miner or a quarryman while others produced fi nely fashioned sculptures

or frescoes. Slaves also served on the staff s of political, religious, and militaryleaders, as personal attendants, curriers, and secretaries. Th e navy depended onslaves as oarsmen. Forced to endure diffi cult and dangerous conditions, galley

slaves who rowed below decks were crucial to the success of the Roman navy.Public slaves were the property of the government and kept the city in good workingorder. They cleaned and repaired the streets, sewers, buildings, bridges, and

aqueducts.

Following the death of Khadija in 621, Muhammad married elevenother women. Tradition relates that he and his followers were invitedto the town of Yathrib by Jewish and Christian tribes after they were

no longer welcome in Mecca. In 622, the first year of the Muslimcalendar, they set out on the Hijra, the emigration to Yathrib, later renamed Medina, meaning "the city" where Muhammad concluded atreaty with the tribes of Medina. A large number of Medinans, knownas the Ansar (helpers), were attracted to Muhammad's cause.

According to several sources, early versions of Islamic practiceincluded Jewish practices such as the fast of Yom Kippur andprayer to Jerusalem, perhaps influenced by the Jews of Medina.These were eventually dropped, and the direction of prayer wasturned to Mecca.

God can do all the things man is forbidden to do - such as kill people, perform miracles to gratify his will, control without anyapparent responsibility, etc. If man needs such a god andrecognizes that god, then he is worshipping an entity that ahuman being invented. Therefore, HE IS WORSHIPPING BY PROXY THE MAN T HAT

INVENTED GOD. Is it not more sensible to worship a god that he,himself, has created, in accordance with his own emotional needs

± one that best represents the very carnal and physical being that

has the idea-power to invent a god in the fir st pl ace?

Searches for a planet beyond Neptune were begunin the early twentieth century after someastronomers claimed that such an object wasresponsible for causing perturbations in the orbit of Neptune ±just as Uranus¶ orbit is perturbed by

Neptune itself.



And to ensure that our national security is protected, the United States has an interest in trackingRussia¶s nuclear arsenal through a verification effort that puts U.S. inspectors on the ground. AsPresident Reagan said when he signed a nuclear arms treaty with the Soviet Union in 1987,³Trust, but verify.´

A few months later, Hahn and Strassman published a paper about their experiment in the prestigious German science journal Die Naturwissenschaft.They did not know that Germany's leading scientific publisher had obtained acopy of the manuscript before publication and slipped it to a Britishintelligence agent. In London, the copy was read by an alarmed group of physicists the British government had recruited for scientific intelligence work;they immediately recommended that Britain begin working on a weapon thatwould harness the power of fission. In Moscow, the Soviet Union's leadingnuclear physicist, Igor Kurchatov, read the Hahn-Strassman article withgrowing excitement. A few hours later, he personally recommended to JosephStalin that work begin at once on a Soviet fission bomb.

But this proportion must in every nation be regulated by two differentcircumstances; first, by the skill, dexterity, and judgment with which its labour isgenerally applied; and, secondly, by the proportion between the number of thosewho are emplo yed in useful labour, and that of those who are not so employed.

Whatever be the soil, climate, or extent of territory of any particular nation, theabundance or scantiness of its annual supply must, in that particular situation,

depend upon those two circumstances.

After the execution of Louis XVI., for whose life Paine pleaded so

earnestly, -- while in England he was denounced as an accomplice

in the deed, -- he devoted himself to the preparation of a

Constitution, and also to gathering up his religious compositions andadding to them. This manuscript I suppose to have been prepared

in what was variously known as White's Hotel or Philadelphia

House, in Paris, No. 7 Passage des Petits Peres. This compilation

of early and fresh manuscripts (if my theory be correct) was

labelled, "The Age of Reason," and given for translation to

Francois Lanthenas in March 1793. It is entered, in Qudrard (La

France Literaire) under the year 1793, but with the title "L'Age

de la Raison" instead of that which it bore in 1794, "Le Siecle de

la Raison." The latter, printed "Au Burcau de l'imprimerie, rue du

Theatre-Francais, No. 4," is said to be by "Thomas Paine, Citoyen





The great majority of those who told and wrote aboutJesus did so as his devoted admirers, some even ashis worshipers. But others, including Josephus himself,as well as the Roman senator Tacitus, writing c. 115C.E., mention Jesus and his followers with hostility or contempt.10Yet nearly all of these, advocates andadversaries alike, placed Jesus of Nazareth and themovement he started within the context of ³the recenttroubles in Judea. ́

The Second Crusade (11471149) had accomplished almost

nothing. Bernard of Clairvaux bore the brunt of the criticism. His

overenthusiastic promotion of the crusade made him sensitive to

its failure. As a result, he and later preachers began to put more

emphasis on the spiritual preparation of the crusaders. They

argued that failure showed that the crusaders needed to make

themselves more worthy of divine aid. Still, failure did not dampen

ardor for the crusade.

Without ratification, we put at risk the coalition that we have built to put pressure on Iran, andthe transit route through Russia that we use to equip our troops in Afghanistan. And withoutratification, we risk undoing decades of American leadership on nuclear security, and decades of bipartisanship on this issue. Our security and our position in the world are at stake.

I have left the text as it stands in the original, without alluding to thhypothesis recently started by Maxim Kovalevsky, according towhich the partition of the arable and meadow lands among themembers of the Mark was preceded by their being cultivated for

joint-account by a large patriarchal family community, embracingseveral generations (as exemplified by the still existing SouthSlavonian Zadruga), and that the partition, later on, took place whethe community had increased, so as to become too unwieldy for

joint-account management. Kovalevsky is probably quite right, butthe matter is still sub judice [under consideration].

The word value, it is to be observed, has twodifferent meanings, and sometimes expressesthe utility of some particular object, andsometimes the power of purchasing other goods which the possession of that object

conveys. The one may be called "value inuse"; the other, "value in exchange." Thethings which have the greatest value in usehave frequently little or no value in exchange;and, on the contrary, those which have thegreatest value in exchange have frequentlylittle or no value in use. Nothing is moreuseful than water: but it will purchase scarceanything; scarce anything can be had inexchange for it. A diamond, on the contrary,has scarce any value in use; but a very greatquantity of other goods may frequently

be had in exchange for it.

When Moses and Haroon went to P haroah and delivered t hismessage , he said: "Well, who is your Lord O Moses?"[49] Moses replied: "Our Lord is He Who has given a distinctiveform to all creatures and then rightly guided them."[50] P haroah asked: "What do you say about the condition of previous generations?"[51] Moses replied: "That knowledgeis with my Lord, duly recorded in a Book. He neither makes amistake nor does He forget."[52] He is the One Who hasmade the earth a cradle for you, traced the roads on it for youto walk on; and sends down water from the sky with whichWe produce pairs of various kinds of vegetation[53] - eatfrom these yourselves and pasture your cattle.

Indeed, since the Reagan years, every President has pursued a negotiated, verified, armsreduction treaty. And every time that these treaties have been reviewed by the Senate, they have passed with over 85 votes.

Bipartisan support for New START could not be stronger. It has been endorsed by Republicansfrom the Reagan Administration and both Bush Administrations ± including Colin Powell,George Shultz, Jim Baker, and Henry Kissinger. And it was approved by the Senate ForeignRelations Committee by a strong bipartisan vote of 14-4.

You would never vote for a person or issue you did not believe in, so why cast your ecclesiastical vote for a religionwhich is not consistent with your convictions? You have noright to complain about a political situation you have voted for or supported in any way - which includes sitting back andcomplacently agreeing with neighbors who approve the

situation, just because you are too lazy or cowardly to speak your mind. So it is with religious balloting. Even if you cannot be aggressively honest about your opinions because of unfavorable consequences from employers, communityleaders, etc., you can, at least, be honest with yourself. In the privacy of your own home and with close friends you must

support religion which has YOUR best interests at heart.

The ideas of Protestant Reformers like Martin Luther and Ulrich Zwingli spread through German cities andhe surrounding countryside quickly during the 1520s.

Outlawed by imperial edict, Luther¶s views continuedo attract significant support, particularly in the

empire¶s towns and among some of its most prominentnobility. Growing tension between Protestant andCatholic factions of towns and the nobility producedbrief, but vicious religious wars followed by attempts ateconciliation between both sides. In 1555, leaders

crafted a compromise between the two opposingeligious factions. Known as the Peace of Augsburg,his treaty stipulated that German rulers possessedhe power to sanction either Lutheranism or

Catholicism within their territories.

In Galileo¶s day, the teachings of the Greek philosophersAristotle and Ptolemy had held sway in the western worldfor some 1,600 years, helped in no small measure by beingthoroughly approved of by the Roman Catholic Church,then the pre-eminent European political power. Theseancient imaginings had created a Universe that was made of

objects whose nature was perfect and forever unchanging.Aristotle (384±322 BCE) had proposed a Universe withno fewer than 55 crystalline spheres, all rotating about amotionless, central Earth. All the five known planets, theMoon, the Sun, and the stars were supposed to be fastenedto these spheres, and they moved around Earth in perfectcircles. Galileo¶s observations could not be reconciled withthese ancient geocentric theories of the Universe andinstead supported the revolutionary heliocentricUniverse of Copernicus, in which the Sun was deemed to bethe center of the Solar System and only the Moon revolved

around Earth.

Over the last several months, several questions have been asked about New START, and wehave answered every single one. Some have asked whether it will limit our missile defense ± itwill not. Some, including Senator Jon Kyl, have asked that we modernize our nuclear infrastructure for the 21st century ± we are doing so, and plan to invest at least $85 billion in thateffort over the next ten years ± a significant increase from the Bush Administration.

Finally, some make no argument against the Treaty ± they just ask for more time. But remember this: it has already been 11 months since we¶ve had inspectors in Russia, and every day that goes

But in many important cases the exercise of a nature gives rise to a completechange: seeing, contemplating, and living. The complete/ incomplete distinctionis not important for the first part of (Chapters 1±5); and, as noted earlier (§1

above), its significance for Chapters 6±9 is disputed. It is easier for Aristotle toallow the distinction to lie in the background so long as the case of nature as anorigin is not the focus of attention. (iii) Aristotle¶s interest in Metaphy sics is

the distinction and the correlation between the potential and the actual. Thefact that potentiality is correlated with actuality is more immediately obvious in

the case of capacities and changes than in the case of natures. If I say thatsomething is capable, then grammar requires me to say what it is capable of ,and if I refer to a capacity, I am required to refer to it as a capacit y for such and

such (compare 8, 1049b12±17, and Commentary, Chapter 8, §3: this point

underpins Aristotle¶s argument that actuality is prior to potentiality in account).There is not the same grammatical pressure as regards talk of natures. I

can say that horses are natural organisms, and refer to their equinenature without specifying the complete and incomplete changeswhich stand to that nature as the actual to the potential.

Go to Pharoah and tell him: "We are the Messengers from the Lord of the Worlds.[16] You should sendwith us the Children of Israel."[17] When t hey went to P haroah and convey ed t he Message of Allah, hesaid: "Did we not cherish you when you were a child? Did you not stay several years of your life amongus?[18] Then you did what you did; you are so ungrateful!"[19] Moses replied: "I did that when I was amisguided youth.[20] I fled from you all because I feared you; but now my Lord has granted mewisdom and appointed me as one of His Messengers.[21] Is it a favor with which you taunt me, thatyou have enslaved the Children of Israel?"[22] Pharoah said: "Who is this Lord of the Worlds?"[23] Moses replied: "He is the Lord of the heavens and the earth and all that lies between them, if you reallycare to believe."[24] P haroah said to those around him, "Do you hear that?"[25] Moses continued: "Heis your Lord and the Lord of your forefathers."[26] P haroah interjected: "This Messenger of yours, whohas been sent to you, is crazy."[27] Moses continued:" He is the Lord of the east and west, and all thatlies between them. If you would only care and try to understand." [28] At t his, P haroah, w ho did not want to listen any more said: "If you serve any other god besides me, I shall have you thrown intoprison."[29] At t his, Moses said: "What if I show you a convincing sign?"[30] P haroah said: "Go ahead,show it if you are of the truthful."[31] Hearing t his, Moses threw down his staff, and thereupon itchanged into a veritable serpent.[32] Then he drew forth his hand and it became shining bright for thespectators.[33] 26:[10-33]

According to the folktale, Job withstands the testhe satan retreats, and ³the Lord restored thefortunes of Job . . . and he gave him twice asmuch as he had before´ (42:10).Here the satanterrifies and harms a person but, like the angel odeath, remains an angel, a member of theheavenly court, God¶s obedient servant.

Around the time Job was written (c. 550 B.C.E.),however, other biblical writers invoked the satan

to account for division within Israel.12



by without ratification is a day that we lose confidence in our understanding of Russia¶s nuclear weapons. If the Senate doesn¶t act this year ± after six months, 18 hearings, and nearly athousand questions answered ± it would have to start over from scratch in January.

In the progress of industry, commercial nations have found it convenient to coin several different metals intomoney; gold for larger payments, silver for purchases of moderate value, and copper, or some other coarse metal,for those of still smaller consideration. They have always, however, considered one of those metals as morepeculiarly the measure of value than any of the other two; and this preference seems ge nerally to have been givento the metal which they happened first to make use of as the instrument of commerce. Having once begun to use itas their standard, which they must have done when they had no other money, they have generally continued to doso even when the necessity was not the same. The Romans are said to have had nothing but copper money tillwithin five years before the first Punic war, when they first began to coin silver. Copper, therefore, appears to havecontinued always the measure of value in that republic. At Rome all accounts appear to have been kept, and thevalue of all estates to have been computed either in asses or in sestertii. The as was always the denomination of acopper coin. The word sestertius signifies two asses and a half. Though the sestertius, therefore, was originally asilver coin, its value was estimated in copper. At Rome, one who owed a great deal of money was said to have agreat deal of other people's copper. The northern nations who established themselves upon the ruins of the Romanempire, seem to have had silver money from the first beginning of their settlements, and not to have known either gold or copper coins for several ages thereafter. There were silver coins in England in the time of the Saxons; butthere was little gold coined till the time of Edward III nor any copper till that of James I of Great Britain. InEngland, therefore, and for the same reason, I believe, in all other modern nations of Europe, all accounts are kept,and the value of all goods and of all estates is generally computed in silver: and when we mean to express theamount of a person's fortune, we seldom mention the number of guineas, but the number of pounds sterling whichwe suppose would be given for it.

The much-reduced kingdom of Jerusalem, with its new

capital at Acre, was left in the hands of Henry of

Champagne, who had married Isabella I. Guy of Lusignan was

compensated with Cyprus, which Richard had seized from

its Greek ruler during the Third Crusade. The island would

remain under the rule of the Lusignan family until 1489 and

was one of the last Christian outposts in the East when it

was conquered by the Ottoman Turks in 1573.

But before there was argumentation, there was action. Im Anf ang war die That . [from Goethe's F aust : "In thebeginning was the deed."] And human action had solved thedifficulty long before human ingenuity invented it. The proof of the pudding is in the eating. From the moment we turn toour own use these objects, according to the qualities weperceive in them, we put to an infallible test the correctnessor otherwise of our sense-perception. If these perceptionshave been wrong, then our estimate of the use to which anobject can be turned must also be wrong, and our attemptmust fail. But, if we succeed in accomplishing our aim, if wefind that the object does agree with our idea of it, and does

answer the purpose we intended it for, then that is proof positive that our perceptions of it and of itsqualities, so f ar , agree with reality outside ourselves.

Romans, as we have seen, lived in a class-conscious society, and libertini

were near the bottom. In spite of their newly acquired status as citizensand the legal protection this aff orded them, libertini endured many forms

of social prejudice. Th ose who worked hard and earned enough money to

insure a comfortable life for themselves and for their children were oftenlooked down upon by more established citizens as greedy opportunists.Why did the Romans willingly grant freedom and the right of citizenship to

so many former slaves? Surely many slaves were manumitted because of a genuine sense of gratitude or aff ection on the part of their owners, or asa reward for exceptional service, or even as an incentive to ensure the

coo eration of other slaves.

Construction was fairly straightforward. First, thick gauge grip tape was added around the edges of both

lenses. Next, two tubes were made from thin card ± one for the objective (the main tube) and a smaller onefor the eyepiece drawtube; the card was simply rolled around the lenses and secured in place on the outer edge with Scotch tape. Obviously, the length and width of the tubing will vary with the focal length of thelenses chosen; our telescope tubing was made from a single sheet of A4-sized card. An attractive design based on the original colors of Galileo¶s telescope was used as the print for the exterior of the card; notethat to improve the quality of the telescopic view, the interior of the tubing should ideally be colored matt

black.

ALL other things partake in a portion of everything, while Nous is infinite and self-ruled, and is mixed with nothing, but is alone, itse

itself. For if it were not by itself, but were mixed with anything else, it would partake in all things if it weremixed with any; f or in

everything there is a portion of everything, as has been said by me in what goes bef ore, and the things mixed with it would hinder it

that it would have power over nothing in the same way that it has now being alone by itself. For it is the thinnest of all things and th

purest, and it has all knowledge about everything and the greatest strength; and Nous has power over all things, both greater and

smaller, that have <soul>. And Nous had power over thewhole revolution, so that it began to revolve in thebeginning. And it began

revolve first from a small beginning; but the revolution now extends over a larger space, and will extend over a larger still. And all th

things that aremingled together and separated off and distinguished are all known by Nous. And Nous set in order all things that we

to be, and all things that were and are not now and that are, and this revolution in which now revolve the stars and the sun and the

moon, and the air and the aether that are separated off. And this revolution caused the separatingoff, and the rare is separated off

from thedense, thewarm from the cold, the light from the dark, and the dry from themoist. And there aremany portions in many

things. But no thing is altogether separated off nor distinguished from anything else except Nous. And all Nous is alike, both the grea

and the smaller; while nothing else is like anything else, but each single thing is and was most manif estly those things of which it ha

most in it.

For men of firm disposition can fix their mind on the matter beforethem and overlook external disturbances. He therefore found out whisoldiers were on duty in the various towers. He learnt that in one placthe "Immortals" were on guard (this is the most select regiment of the Roman army) and in another the Varangians from Thule[*By some interpreted as the British Isles, by others as part of Scandinavia, particularly Thyland in Jutland.] (by these I meanthe [64] axe-bearing barbarians) and in yet another the Nemitzi[*Germans] (these too are a barbaric tribe who have beensubjects of the Roman Empire from of old); and he thereuponadvised Alexius not to make an offer to the Varangians or the

Immortals.

Strabo mentions the customs of Druids but says thatthe Romans put a stop to the practice of humansacrifice and the taking and collecting of heads. In48 A.D. the Roman Emperor Claudius I (who was, infact, born at Lyon, France) welcomed Gallic noblesinto the Roman Senate. However, at the same timehe suppressed Celtic priests and the Druidicreligion. He replaced native gods with their Romancounterparts and encouraged the population to

worship the emperor as a god himself.

But though North America is not yet so rich as England, itis much more thriving, and advancing with much greater

rapidity to the further acquisition of riches. The mostdecisive mark of the prosperity of any country is theincrease of the number of its inhabitants. In GreatBritain, and most other European countries, they are notsupposed to double in less than five hundred years. In theBritish colonies in North America, it has been found thatthey double in twenty or five-and-twenty years. Nor in the

present times is this increase principally owing to thecontinual importation of new inhabitants, but to the greatmultiplication of the species.Those who live to old age, it is said, frequently see therefrom fifty to a hundred, and sometimes many more,descendants from their own body. Labour is there so wellrewarded that a numerous family of children, instead of

being a burthen, is a source of opulence and prosperity to

the parents.

And to ensure that our national security is protected, the United States has an interest in trackingRussia¶s nuclear arsenal through a verification effort that puts U.S. inspectors on the ground.

If NASA had pretended to send the astronauts into a lunar night, the problem would have been worse, since the LEM

used only batteries for power, and batteries don't runspotlights very long. Leave your headlights on for a whilewhen your car is parked if you think I jest. And car headlights are birthday candles compared to seriousspotlights. So after spending a fortune (ours) to build that planetarium, theyfound it was unusable. Then they were reduced toobfuscating the brilliant stars and planets of space by havingthe astronauts pronounce them as dim and fuzzy, and theywere forced to maintain that lie down through the years.Today, a computer using enhancement and digitized graphicscould fool the world's greatest field astronomer.

The Book of Mormon states that after Jesus' ascen

he returned to earth and appeared on the American

continent. He personally handpicked and trained

twelve Nephite disciples, and commissioned them

minister unto the rest of the Nephites (3 Nephi 12:1,

12). It is clear that, according to the Book of Morm

these Twelve Disciples ministered among the Nep

in an ordained apostolic capacity (3 Ne. 18; 19; 27; 28

Moroni 2:2). ³In writing about the Book of Mormon

Prophet [Joseph Smith] said that it µtells us that ou

Savior made his appearance upon this continent af

his resurrection; that he planted the gospel here in

fullness, and richness, and power, and blessing; th

they had a postles, prophets, pastors, teachers, and

evangelists; the same order, the same priesthood, a

same ordinances, gifts, powers, and blessings as w

enjoyed on the eastern continent.¶

This trust responsibility also produced a legal obligation of f ederal

ADMINISTRATIVE AGENCIES to protect tribal interests when those

interests might be compromised by government action, such as the

side, the idea of trust responsibility gradually blossomed into massive

programs to assist indians in adjusting to the economic and political

institutions of the West.



That is precisely what the New START Treaty does. After nearly a full year of negotiations, wecompleted an agreement earlier this year that cuts by a third the number of long-range nuclear weapons and delivery vehicles that the United States and Russia can deploy, while ensuring thatAmerica retains a strong nuclear deterrent, and can put inspectors back on the ground inRussia.

But in Genesis speaks of the earth, animals, man and

woman. This rules out the possibility of the existence of

other worlds or living beings in the universe?

In my opinion this possibility exists. Astronomers believe

that the universe is made up of one hundred billion galaxies,

each of which consists of a hundred billion stars. Many of

these, or almost all, could have planets. How can we exclude

that lif e has developed elsewhere? There is a branch of

astronomy, astrobiology, which studies this aspect and that

has made much progress in recent years. By examining the

spectra of light coming from stars and planets, will soon be

able to identify elements of their atmospheres - the so-

called biomakers - and whether there are conditions f or the

emergence and development of lif e. After all, lif e f orms

could exist in theory even without oxygen or hydrogen.

It also ref ers to beings like ourselves or more advanced?

Possibly. So far we have no proof. But certainly in a

universe so big we cannot exclude this hypothesis.

And this would not be a problem f or our faith?

I think not. As there is a multiplicity of creatures on earth,

so there could be other beings, even intelligent, created by

God this does not contradict our faith because we can not

put limits on God's creative freedom to say it with St.

Francis, if we consider the earthly creatures as "brother"

Justice Rehnquist said, µµperhaps in no other area has the Court accorded such deference to Congress.¶¶ Furthermore, he said, courts have little competence in this area: µµThe complex, subtle, and professional decisions as to the composition, training, equipping, and control of a military force are essentially professional military judgments, sub ject always to civilian control of the Legislative and Executive branches.¶¶ The rest followed easily for Rehnquist: any future draft would be designed to produce combat troops; women were

ineligible for combat; therefore, women and men were µµnot similarly situated¶¶ and need not be treated equally.

I did want to announce a major decision I had made:

The United States would consider any nation that

harbored terrorists to be responsible f or the acts of

those terrorists. This new doctrine overturned the

approach of the past, which treated terrorist groups

as distinct from their sponsors. We had to f orce

nations to choose whether they would fight the

terrorists or share in their fate. And we had to wage

this war on the off ense, by attacking the terrorists

overseas bef ore they could attack us again at home.

How well these stories are told, the subtlety of the arguments and the

arguments of liberals are more often grounded in reason and fact. In

distilled f orm, though, the explanations of both the right and the left have

become mirror images of each other. They are stories of conspiracy, of

America being hijacked by an evil cabal. Like all good conspiracy theories,both tales contain just enough truth to satisfy those predisposed to believe

in them, without admitting any contradictions that might shake up those

assumptions. Their purpose is not to persuade the other side but to keep

their bases agitated and assured of the rightness of their respective

causes and lure just enough new adherents to beat the other side into

submission.

Over 200 years after the American Revolution,myth and folklore have long replaced historical

truth. To most Americans, the former is so muchmore enjoyable and convenient than the latter.Because of this fact, it is easy for today's political leaders to remake yesterday's politicalleaders. Sadly, our heritage is lost in the process,and ignorance reigns.

When the Spaniards devised large pontoon bridgesas a countermeasure to Stevin's flood weapon,he quickly came up with a counter-counterweapon,the world's first guided missile. In 1590 theSpaniards had constructed a huge pontoon bridgeover flooded land to besiege Antwerp. Working witha group of Italian naval engineers Maurice hadrecruited, Stevin supervised the construction of afloating time bomb²an ordinary merchant shipwhose hull was lined with bricks and packed withgunpowder and scrap iron.

The first person known to have described the "f emale prostate" inWestern

medical literature was Reinier De Graaf (1641-1673) in the year 1672. He

described it as a collection of functional glands and ducts surrounding the

f emale urethra. He said the glands and ducts produced a "pituitoserous

juice;" meaning it produces a thick mucous that is pale yellow or transparent

in color.He said the function of this fluid was to make "women more

libidinous with its pungency and saltiness and lubricates their sexual parts in

agreeable fashion during coitus." Despite his observation modernWestern

medicine did not fully accept the concept of a "f emale prostate" until 2001

when the Federative Committee on Anatomical Terminology agreed to use

this term in their next edition of Histology Terminology .

Finally, some make no argument against the Treaty ± they just ask for more time. But remember this: it has already been 11 months since we¶ve had inspectors in Russia, and every day that goes by without ratification is a day that we lose confidence in our understanding of Russia¶s nuclear weapons. If the Senate doesn¶t act this year ± after six months, 18 hearings, and nearly a

thousand questions answered ± it would have to start over from scratch in January.

The choice is clear: a failure to ratify New START would be a dangerous gamble withAmerica¶s national security, setting back our understanding of Russia¶s nuclear weapons, as well

as our leadership in the world. That is not what the American people sent us to Washington todo.

There is enough gridlock, enough bickering. If there is one issue that should unite us ± asRepublicans and Democrats ± it should be [the main gravity law of] our national security.

On Earth, all these skyscrapers are extremely heavy, but in empty

This Treaty is rooted in a practice that dates back to Ronald Reagan. The idea is simple ± as the

Analysts today are worried, for instance, that terrorists

might try to employ radiological dispersal devices or ³dirty bombs.´These weapons do not detonate with a fission reaction, but rather utilize conventional explosives todistribute radiological materials and contaminatea given area. Few deaths are likely to result from theeffects of a dirty bomb, but the consequences²interms of anxiety, clean-up, and the recognized abilityof a terrorist to conduct the very act itself² would likely be far reaching.

We the People of the United States, in Order toform a more perfect Union, establish Justice,insure domestic Tranquility, provide for thecommon defence, promote the general Welfare,and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselvesand our Posterity, do ordain and establish this

Constitution for the United States of America.

One of the benefits of the American Revolution, Benjamin Franklin oncequipped, was the right to ignore it.Preaching a doctrine of self-reliance, tolerance, and moral commitment, therevolutionaries were dedicated to the "pursuit of happiness," but knew moreabout what they were against (British tyranny) than what they were for (democratic civil rights and liberties). This strange dichotomy is examinedespecially well, and the effort to resolve it is made obvious, courtesy of decent,no-nonsense, prose, all the way to the end of the book-and the beginning of the American experiment.

The formula µµadvice and consent¶¶ is an ancient one. It

was used in British and American state papers and documents for over a

thousand years prior to 1787. The use of these words in the Constitution

was proposed by the Constitutional Convention¶s Committee on

Remaining Matters, to which both the TREATY POWER and the APPOINTING

POWER had been referred. The first proposal to associate the President and

the Senate in the exercise of those powers was made by ALEXANDER

HAMILTON, who wanted the Senate to act as a kind of PR IVY COUNCIL. In the debates over RATIFICATION OF THE CONSTITUTION opponents charged that the

provision violated the principle of SEPARATION OF POWERS. But in THE

FEDERALIST the practice was defended as an instance of CHECK S AND BALANCES

and a means of involving the states in the making of important national

policy.

Alexander died prematurely of disease in 323 b.c.e., but before hisdeath, he made what would turn out to be the greatest contribution toscience in history²the museion at Alexandria, the Egyptian city namedin his honor. Alexander's idea was to create the penultimate scientificresearch institute that would join Western and Eastern science in aneffort to solve all practical problems of running the new Greek Empire

and ensuring that it remained supreme over all possible competitors.Its mandate included engineering, navigation, astronomy, geography,road-building, determining land boundaries²and the machines of war.He chose a site on Egypt's northern coast, near the Nile River, for theinstitute, a junction of the trade routes of Asia, Africa, and Europe, and

therefore the virtual center of [what was] the[n] [the] civilized world.



two nations with over 90 percent of the world¶s nuclear weapons, the United States and Russiahave a responsibility to work together to reduce our arsenals.

And to ensure that our national security is protected, the United States has an interest in tracking

Russia¶s nuclear arsenal through a verification effort that puts U.S. inspectors on the ground. AsPresident Reagan said when he signed a nuclear arms treaty with the Soviet Union in 1987,³Trust, but verify.´

Political parties played a critical role in shaping thesedebates and formulating responses to the issues that mattered to themajority of Americans. Most Americans voted along strict party lines² most American white males, that is, as neither women nor AfricanAmericans had the right to vote. A person¶s political party was less a refl

ection of his support for a particular candidate and far more a reflectionof his family background, job, and position in society. Candidates for higher offi ce were selected by the political parties. Voters assumed that,if a particular candidate had been chosen as the representative of a particular political party, then he would thoroughly reflect that party¶s positions and attitudes.

Without ratification this year, the United States will have no inspectors on the ground, and noability to verify Russian nuclear activities. So those who would block this treaty are breaking

In recent years, the cost required to develop a software product has increasedsignificantly while the target hardware costs have decreased. Now a larger portion of money is expended in developing, using, and maintaining software. The trend incomputing costs is the complete dominance of software over hardware costs. Becauseof this, it is necessary that formal disciplines be established to increase the probabilitythat software is characterized by a high degree of correctness, maintainability, and

portability. In addition, these disciplines must promote practices that aid in theconsistent and orderly development of a software system within schedule and

budgetary constraints. To be effective, these disciplines must adopt standards whichchannel individual software efforts toward a common goal The push for standards inthe software development field has been met with various degrees of success. TheMicroprocessor Operating Systems Interfaces (MOSI) effort has experienced onlylimited success. As popular as the UNIX operating system has grown, the attempt todevelop a standard interface definition to allow portable application development hasonly recently begun to produce the results needed in this area. Unfortunately, verylittle effort has been expended to provide standards addressing the needs of the real-time community. Several organizations have addressed this need during the past

Iteration Statements

In C, and all other modern programming languages, iteration statements(also called loops) allow aset of instructions to be repeatedly executed until a certain condition isreached. This condition may be predetermined (as in the for loop) or open ended (as in the while anddo-while loops).The for Loop

The general design of the for loop is reflected in some form or another inall procedural programming languages. However, in C, it providesunexpected flexibility and power.The general form of the for statement is for (initialization; condition;

incr ement ) st atement ;The for loop allows many variations, but its most common form workslike this: The initialization is an assignment statement that is used to setthe loop control variable. The condition is a relational expression thatdetermines when the loop exits. The incr ement defines how the loopcontrol variable changes each time the loop is repeated. You must separatethese three major sections by semicolons. The for loop continues toexecute as long as the condition is true. Once the condition becomes false, program execution resumes on the statement following the for.

The Purposes of the United Nations are:

To maintain international peace and security,and to that end : to take effective collectivemeasures for the prevention and removal of threats to the peace, and for the suppression of acts of aggression or other breaches of the peace,and to bring about by peaceful means, and in conformitywith the principles of justice and internationallaw, adjustment or settlement of internationaldisputes or situations which might leadto a breach of the peace;2. To develop friendly relations among nations based on respect for the principle of equal rightsand self-determination of peoples, and to takeother appropriate measures to strengthen universal peace;3. To ach ieve international cooperation insolving international problems of an economic,social, cultural, or humanitarian character, and in promoting and encouraging respect for humanrights and for fundamental freedoms for all withoutdistinction as to race, sex, language, or religion;and4. To be a center for harmonizing the actionsof nations in the attainment of these common ends.



Finally, some make no argument against the Treaty ± they just ask for more time. But remember this: it has already been 11 months since we¶ve had inspectors in Russia, and every day that goes by without ratification is a day that we lose confidence in our understanding of Russia¶s nuclear weapons.

Mon Calamarian Rebel Navy Admiral, later promoted to the position of Commander-in-Chief of the New Republic.He was capturedwhen the Empire took over Calamari, and was presented to Grand Moff Tarkin as a personal slave.He followed Tarkin around

everywhere, all the while collecting information about the Imperial war machine, in hopes that he could escape and provide theknowledge to the Alliance.He gained limited knowledge about the Death Star in this fashion, enough to make him fear for the safeand future of the galaxy. When Tarkin decided to move to a permanent post on the Death Star, Ackbar was to be brought along whim. However, Tarkin's shuttle was attacked by an elite force whose goal was t o assassinate Tarkin. They failed only when an ImpStar Destroyer arrived to drive off the attackers, but they managed to rescue Ackbar in the attack. From that point on, Ackbar servthe Alliance faithfully, using his knowledge of Imperial doctrine wherever possible.He was in command at the Battle of Endor, guidithe space battle over the second Death Star and drawing fire from the ships that were to destroy space station's central power corFollowing the formation of the New Republic, Ackbar became one of the Republic's ruling members, until Councilor Fey'lya usedincriminating evidence against him in an effort to discredit Ackbar. When Fey'lya's plans were revealed, Ackbar was reinstated as aNew Republic dignitary. He was away from Calamari when the reborn Emperor Palpatine attacked the planet. Later, when he and were on a diplomatic mission toVortex, his shuttle was sabotaged, causing it to crash into, and destroy, the Cathedral of Winds. Twas part of Furgan's plan to bring down the New Republic from the inside, and severely degraded Ackbar's self-confidence.Hereturned to Calamari to help rebuild what was still unrepaired from the Emperor's attack, and was on the planet when Admiral Daachose to attack Calamari.He and Leia were able to rall y the minimal Calamarian defense, stalemating Daala's attack until help fromNew Republic arrived. Ackbar chose to remain on Calamari until Furgan attempted to finalize his plans by kidnapping baby Anakinon Anoth. He then left the planet and arri ved at Anoth in time to rescue baby Anakin. This demonstration of the Empire's desparatattempts to regain control of the galaxy helped to crystallize Ackbar's resolve, and brought him out of his self-imposed shell and backinto the New Republic's government.He remained a vital asset to the Republic throughout the Black Fleet Crisis and the negotiatiopeace with the Empire, but when Borsk Fey'lya was named the New Republic's Chief of State, Ackbar decided to retire from active

ANFO (or AN/FO, for ammonium nitrate / fuel oil) is a widely useexplosive mixture. The oil used is most often No. 2 fuel oil, or diesel

but sometimes kerosene, coal dust, or even molasses. Nitromethane isof the most effective fuels used in this sort of explosive.

It is by far the most widely used explosive in coal mining, quarrying,metal mining, and civil construction: it accounts for an estimated 80%the 6,000,000,000 pounds (2.7×109 kg) of explosive used annually in

North America[1]. It also sees service in improvised explosive deviceswhere it is also known as a fertilizer bomb.[2]

The Constitution of the United States, the brainchild of some of America¶s greatest leaders following the colonies¶War for Independence, has protected Americans¶ rights andliberties since it went into effect on June 21, 1788. Thedocument also has served as an inspiration to patriotseverywhere who wish to establish ³a wise and justGovernment,´ the goal delegate George Mason set for theframers gathered at the Constitutional Convention in 1787.

Winning Wars with the Mind First

Size can be unexpected in the solar system: Saturn·s moon Titan is larger than the planet Mercury,and Charon, Pluto·s moon, is almost as big as Pluto itself. The figure on page xii shows the numberof moons each planet has; large planets have far more than small planets, and every year scientistsdiscover new celestial bodies orbiting the gas giant planets. Many large bodies orbit in the asteroid belt, or the Kuiper belt, and many sizable asteroids cross the orbits of planets as they make their wayaround the Sun. Some planets· moons are unstable and will make new ring systems as they crash into

their hosts. Many moons, like Neptune·s giant Triton, orbit their planets backward (clockwise whenviewed from the North Pole, the opposite way that the planets orbit the Sun).Triton also has thecoldest surface temperature of any moon or planet, including Pluto, which is much farther from theSun.The solar system is made of bodies in a continuum of sizes and ages, and every rule has anexception.

It is important to note that many Whigs initiallyresisted joining the Republican Party. Illinoissenator Abraham Lincoln, elected as a WhigParty candidate in 1854, felt that the Republicanswere too radical. Other Whig supporters felt thatonly an established political party could hold thecountry together and keep slavery in check.

We can be unfair to Washington in another way by calling this collection of diariesuneven, mixed, or erratic. That is not his fault but ours, for it is we--his biographers,editors, and archivists--who have brought these items together since his death andgiven them a common label. It would surprise Washington as often as it does hisreaders to find between the same boards his "where and how" diaries, weather records, agricultural notations, tours of the North and South during his presidency,together with such documents as a travel journal published in 1754 under the title,The Jour nal of M a jor Geor ge Wa shington, Sent b y the Hon. Rober t Dinwiddie,

Esq;... Commander in Chief of Vir ginia , to the Command ant of the F r ench Forceson Ohio (Williamsburg, 1754).

Because of this shortcoming in the Ada programming language, software developers in research and

development and contractors for project managed systems, are mandated by technology to purchaseand utilize off-the-shelf third party kernel code. The contractor, and eventually the Government,

must pay a licensing fee for every copy of the kernel code used in an embedded system. The maindrawback to this development environment is that the Government does not own, nor has the right t o

modify code contained within the kernel. V&V te chniques in this situation are more difficult than if the complete source code were available. Responsibility for system failures due to faulty software is

yet another area to be resolved under this nvironment. The Guidance and Control Directorate begana software development effort to address these p roblems. A project to develop an experimental run-

tire kernel was begun that will eliminate the major drawbacks of the Ada programming language

mentioned above. The Real-Time Executive for Military Systems (RTEMS) provides fullcapabilities for management of tasks, interrupts, time, and multiple processors in addition to those

features typical of generic operating systems. The code is Government owned, so no licensing feesare necessary. The code was developed as a linkable and/or ROMable library with the Ada

programming language. Initially the library code was developed on the Motorola 68000 family of processors using the C programming language as the development l anguage. It has since been ported

to the Intel i80386 and Intel i80960 families. Other language interfaces and processor families ,including RISC,

he Motorola 680x0/m68k/68k/68K is a family of 32-bit CISC microprocessors. During the 1980s

nd early 1990s, they were popular in personal computers and workstations and were the

imary competitors of Intel's x86 microprocessors. They were most well-known as the

ocessors powering the early Apple Macintosh, the Commodore Amiga, the Sinclair QL, the

ari ST, SEGA Megadrive and several others. Although no modern desktop computers are based

n the 68k, derivative processors are still widely used in embedded applications. As of 1998, the

8K family was the best-selling 32-bit architecture in theworld. 79 million 68K chips were sold in

997, compared to about 75 million Pentium-based PCs.[1]

More common is a reorganization intended to promote efficiency or policyeffectiveness.74 This is usually seen in cases where a number of smaller organizations that operate in the same general policy area are combined so as (intheory) to improve policy integration, lower overhead costs, and eliminateduplication and overlap. These were the reasons (at least reportedly) thatPresident Richard M. Nixon established the Environmental Protection Agencyand that President Jimmy Carter created the Department of Energy. This samereasoning is sometimes heard in proposals to establish a cabinet-levelDepartment of Science.75
