When a veteran started offering traditional remarks at a military flag-folding ceremony, several uniformed airmen assaulted him, dragging him out of the room because his remarks mentioned God. Now First Liberty Institute lawyers representing retired Senior Master Sergeant Oscar Rodriguez are demanding that the U.S. Air Force apologize and punish those responsible or face a federal civil-rights lawsuit.
For countless years, service members have given the "flag-folding speech" at military and civic events, including retirement ceremonies. Traditionally, this speech explains the colors, symbols, and history of the flag.
The flag-folding speech also contains several religious references, including, "Let us pray that God will reflect with admiration the willingness of one nation in her attempts to rid the world of tyranny, oppression, and misery. It is this one nation under God that we call, with honor, the United States of America."
The speech closes with, "God bless our flag. God bless our troops. God bless America."
In 2005, the Pentagon changed the speech to remove all references to the divine, substituting additional historical facts such as Neil Armstrong's planting of an American flag on the moon in 1969. But many service members prefer the traditional speech and desire that version given at their own retirement celebrations.
Rodriguez retired from the Air Force in 2013 after 33 years of service to his nation. He has a clear and distinctive voice and is frequently asked to deliver the flag-folding speech at retirement ceremonies.
On April 3, 2016, Master Sergeant Charles Roberson was retiring from active duty. Roberson had heard Rodriguez give his stirring rendition of the traditional flag-folding speech and asked Rodriguez if he would give that speech at Roberson's retirement celebration at Travis Air Force Base where Roberson served in the 749th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron.
According to a demand letter sent by First Liberty Institute on Monday, when the squadron's commanding officer, Lieutenant Colonel Michael Sovitsky, learned that Rodriguez would give the traditional speech mentioning God, he expressed his opposition and allegedly tried to block it. As Roberson explained in a video interview seen for the first time on Breitbart News, Roberson asked Rodriguez to press forward.
When the event went forward as planned, another video first obtained by Breitbart News — the one of the retirement ceremony itself — shows Rodriguez taking his position and beginning his flag-folding speech. Four uniformed airmen surround him, forcibly seize him, and roughly drag him out of the room, as he continues shouting out his speech over the heads of his assailants.
The service members were not military police and had no lawful authority to arrest or detain any person, especially a private citizen like Rodriguez. Air Force personnel then expelled Rodriguez from the base entirely.
Rodriguez then retained First Liberty Institute — the largest law firm in the United States exclusively dedicated to protecting religious liberty — as his legal counsel. First Liberty is representing Rodriguez entirely free of charge.
"It was one of the most humiliating experiences of my life," Rodriguez says. "To have the Air Force assault me and drag me out of a retirement ceremony simply because my speech included the word 'God' is something I never expected from our military."
"Mr. Rodriguez has a constitutional right to free speech and religious expression, even on a military base," added Mike Berry, director of military affairs for First Liberty. "The military broke the law and abused its power. We expect the Air Force to hold those responsible accountable, and allow Mr. Rodriguez to continue honoring the flag and other veterans who have sacrificed for our country."
On Sunday, First Liberty sent a letter to the U.S. Air Force and the commander of Travis Air Force Base, demanding that the Air Force: (1) issue a formal written apology to Rodriguez, (2) an admission that Air Force personnel violated his civil rights, (3) a written promise that Rodriguez is welcome to return to the base and engage in legally protected speech, and (4) "Punitive action against those determined to be responsible for violating Mr. Rodriguez's constitutional rights."
The letter also lists the various federal laws and provisions of the U.S. Constitution that the airmen — acting as government agents — allegedly violated by their actions, including the First Amendment, Fourth Amendment, and Fifth Amendment of the Bill of Rights. First Liberty Institute is giving the Air Force seven days to meet these demands and apologize to Rodriguez, or these lawyers will file a federal civil-rights lawsuit in U.S. district court to seek justice for this 33-year Air Force veteran.
First Liberty Institute has set up a website showing the videos and legal documents. First Liberty has also set up a separate website, www.standwithoscar.com, where Americans can sign a letter expressing their support.
Speaking exclusively with Breitbart News over the weekend, Berry further added, "Americans should be outraged at seeing uniformed military personnel drag away a decorated veteran who is honoring his friend, simply because he invoked God's blessing with traditional remarks."
"The Constitution condemns such authoritarian censorship," he declared.

America's Most Biblically-Hostile U. S. President
Posted on August 19, 2015 by mariomurilloministries
When one observes President Obama's unwillingness to accommodate America's four-century long religious conscience protection through his attempts to require Catholics to go against their own doctrines and beliefs, one is tempted to say that he is anti-Catholic. But that characterization would not be correct. Although he has recently singled out Catholics, he has equally targeted traditional Protestant beliefs over the past four years. So since he has attacked Catholics and Protestants, one is tempted to say that he is anti-Christian. But that, too, would be inaccurate. He has been equally disrespectful in his appalling treatment of religious Jews in general and Israel in particular. So perhaps the most accurate description of his antipathy toward Catholics, Protestants, religious Jews, and the Jewish nation would be to characterize him as anti-Biblical. And then when his hostility toward Biblical people of faith is contrasted with his preferential treatment of Muslims and Muslim nations, it further strengthens the accuracy of the anti-Biblical descriptor. In fact, there have been numerous clearly documented times when his pro-Islam positions have been the cause of his anti-Biblical actions.Listed below in chronological order are (1) numerous records of his attacks on Biblical persons or organizations; (2) examples of the hostility toward Biblical faith that have become evident in the past three years in the Obama-led military; (3) a listing of his open attacks on Biblical values; and finally (4) a listing of numerous incidents of his preferential deference for Islam's activities and positions, including letting his Islamic advisors guide and influence his hostility toward people of Biblical faith.1. Acts of hostility toward people of Biblical faith:
June 2013 – The Obama Department of Justice defunds a Young Marines chapter in Louisiana because their oath mentioned God, and another youth program because it permits a voluntary student-led prayer. [1]

April 2011 – For the first time in American history, Obama urges passage of a non-discrimination law that does not contain hiring protections for religious groups, forcing religious organizations to hire according to federal mandates without regard to the dictates of their own faith, thus eliminating conscience protection in hiring. [10]
February 2011 – Although he filled posts in the State Department, for more than two years Obama did not fill the post of religious freedom ambassador, an official that works against religious persecution across the world; he filled it only after heavy pressure from the public and from Congress. [11]
January 2011 – After a federal law was passed to transfer a WWI Memorial in the Mojave Desert to private ownership, the U. S. Supreme Court ruled that the cross in the memorial could continue to stand, but the Obama administration refused to allow the land to be transferred as required by law, and refused to allow the cross to be re-erected as ordered by the Court. [12]
November 2010 – Obama misquotes the National Motto, saying it is "E pluribus unum" rather than "In God We Trust" as established by federal law. [13]

April 2008 – Obama speaks disrespectfully of Christians, saying they "cling to guns or religion" and have an "antipathy to people who aren't like them." [19]
2. Acts of hostility from the Obama-led military toward people of Biblical faith:
December 2013 – A naval facility required that two nativity scenes — scenes depicting the event that caused Christmas to be declared a national federal holiday — be removed from the base dining hall and be confined to the base chapel, thus disallowing the open public acknowledgment of this national federal holiday. [20]
December 2013 – An Air Force base that allowed various public displays ordered the removal of one simply because it contained religious content. [21]

October 2013 – Catholic priests hired to serve as military chaplains are prohibited from performing Mass services at base chapels during the government financial shutdown.

August 2013 – A Department of Defense military training manual teaches soldiers that people who talk about "individual liberties, states' rights, and how to make the world a better place" are "extremists."

July 2013 – When an Air Force sergeant with years of military service questioned a same-sex marriage ceremony performed at the Air Force Academy's chapel, he received a letter of reprimand telling him that if he disagreed, he needed to get out of the military.

July 2013 – An Air Force chaplain who posted a website article on the importance of faith and the origin of the phrase "There are no atheists in foxholes" was officially ordered to remove his post because some were offended by the use of that famous World War II phrase. [29]
June 2013 – The U. S. Air Force, in consultation with the Pentagon, removed an inspirational painting that for years has been hanging at Mountain Home Air Force Base because its title was "Blessed Are The Peacemakers" — a phrase from Matthew 5:9 in the Bible. [30]
June 2013 – The Obama administration "strongly objects" to a Defense Authorization amendment to protect the constitutionally-guaranteed religious rights of soldiers and chaplains, claiming that it would have an "adverse effect on good order, discipline, morale, and mission accomplishment." [31]

It stated: "On the eighth day, God looked down on His creation and said, 'I need someone who will take care of the Airmen.' So God created a First Sergeant." Because the video mentioned the word "God," the Air Force required that it be taken down. [32]
June 2013 – An Army Master Sergeant is reprimanded, threatened with judicial action, and given a bad efficiency report, being told he was "no longer a team player," because he voiced his support of traditional marriage at his own promotion party. [33]
May 2013 – The Pentagon announces that "Air Force members are free to express their personal religious beliefs as long as it does not make others uncomfortable. "Proselytizing (inducing someone to convert to one's faith) goes over that line," [34] affirming if a sharing of faith makes someone feel uncomfortable that it could be a court-marital offense [35] — the military equivalent of a civil felony.
May 2013 – An Air Force officer was actually made to remove a personal Bible from his own desk because it "might" appear that he was condoning the particular religion to which he belonged. [36]
April 2013 – Officials briefing U.S. Army soldiers placed "Evangelical Christianity" and "Catholicism" in a list that also included Al-Qaeda, Muslim Brotherhood, and Hamas as examples of "religious extremism."[37]

April 2013 – The Air Force creates a "religious tolerance" policy but consults only a militant atheist group to do so — a group whose leader has described military personnel who are religious as 'spiritual rapists' and 'human monsters' [39] and who also says that soldiers who proselytize are guilty of treason and sedition and should be punished to hold back a "tidal wave of fundamentalists."

August 2011 – The Air Force stops teaching the Just War theory to officers in California because the course is taught by chaplains and is based on a philosophy introduced by St. Augustine in the third century AD – a theory long taught by civilized nations across the world (except now, America). [53]
June 2011 – The Department of Veterans Affairs forbids references to God and Jesus during burial ceremonies at Houston National Cemetery. [54]

August 2013 – Non-profit charitable hospitals, especially faith-based ones, will face large fines or lose their tax-exempt status if they don't comply with new strangling paperwork requirements related to giving free treatment to poor clients who do not have Obamacare insurance coverage. [56] Ironically, the first hospital in America was founded as a charitable institution in 1751 by Benjamin Franklin, and its logo was the Good Samaritan, with Luke 10:35 inscribed below him: "Take care of him, and I will repay thee," being designed specifically to offer free medical care to the poor. [57] Benjamin Franklin's hospital would likely be fined unless he placed more resources and funds into paperwork rather than helping the poor under the new faith-hostile policy of the Obama administration.
August 2013 – USAID, a federal government agency, shut down a conference in South Korea the night before it was scheduled to take place because some of the presentations were not pro-abortion but instead presented information on abortion complications, including the problems of "preterm births, mental health issues, and maternal mortality" among women giving birth who had previous abortions. [58]
June 2013 – The Obama Administration finalizes requirements that under the Obamacare insurance program, employers must make available abortion-causing drugs, regardless of the religious conscience objections of many employers and even despite the directive of several federal courts to protect the religious conscience of employers. [59]

[60]
December 2012 – Despite having campaigned to recognize Jerusalem as Israel's capital, President Obama once again suspends the provisions of the Jerusalem Embassy Act of 1995 which requires the United States to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and to move the American Embassy there. [61]
July 2012 – The Pentagon, for the first time, allows service members to wear their uniforms while marching in a parade – specifically, a gay pride parade in San Diego. [62]

September 2011 – The Pentagon directs that military chaplains may perform same-sex marriages at military facilities in violation of the federal Defense of Marriage Act. [64]

July 2009 – The Obama administration illegally extends federal benefits to same-sex partners of Foreign Service and Executive Branch employees, in direction violation of the federal Defense of Marriage Act.[72]
May 2009 – The White House budget eliminates all funding for abstinence-only education and replaces it with "comprehensive" sexual education, repeatedly proven to increase teen pregnancies and abortions. [73] He continues the deletion in subsequent budgets. [74]
May 2009 – Obama officials assemble a terrorism dictionary calling pro-life advocates violent and charging that they use racism in their "criminal" activities. [75]
March 2009 – The Obama administration shut out pro-life groups from attending a White House-sponsored health care summit. [76]
March 2009 – Obama orders taxpayer funding of embryonic stem cell research. [77]
March 2009 – Obama gave $50 million for the UNFPA, the UN population agency that promotes abortion and works closely with Chinese population control officials who use forced abortions and involuntary sterilizations. [78]
January 2009 – Obama lifts restrictions on U.S. government funding for groups that provide abortion services or counseling abroad, forcing taxpayers to fund pro-abortion groups that either promote or perform abortions in other nations. [79]
January 2009 – President Obama's nominee for deputy secretary of state asserts that American taxpayers are required to pay for abortions and that limits on abortion funding are unconstitutional. [80]
4. Acts of preferentialism for Islam:
February 2012 – The Obama administration makes effulgent apologies for Korans being burned by the U. S. military, [81] but when Bibles were burned by the military, numerous reasons were offered why it was the right thing to do. [82]

April 2010 – Christian leader Franklin Graham is disinvited from the Pentagon's National Day of Prayer Event because of complaints from the Muslim community. [86]
April 2010 – The Obama administration requires rewriting of government documents and a change in administration vocabulary to remove terms that are deemed offensive to Muslims, including jihad, jihadists, terrorists, radical Islamic, etc. [87]
May 2009 – While Obama does not host any National Day of Prayer event at the White House, he does host White House Iftar dinners in honor of Ramadan. [88]
2010 – While every White House traditionally issues hundreds of official proclamations and statements on numerous occasions, this White House avoids traditional Biblical holidays and events but regularly recognizes major Muslim holidays, as evidenced by its 2010 statements on Ramadan, Eid-ul-Fitr, Hajj, and Eid-ul-Adha. [89]
Many of these actions are literally unprecedented – this is the first time they have happened in four centuries of American history. The hostility of President Obama toward Biblical faith and values is without equal from any previous American president.

America's Most Biblically-Hostile U. S. PresidentWhen one observes President Obama's unwillingness to accommodate America's four-century long religious conscience protection through his attempts to require Catholics to go against their own doctrines and beliefs, one is tempted to say that he is anti-Catholic. But that characterization would not be correct. Although he has recently singled out Catholics, he has equally targeted traditional Protestant beliefs over the past four years. So since he has attacked Catholics and Protestants, one is tempted to say that he is anti-Christian. But that, too, would be inaccurate. He has been equally disrespectful in his appalling treatment of religious Jews in general and Israel in particular. So perhaps the most accurate description of his antipathy toward Catholics, Protestants, religious Jews, and the Jewish nation would be to characterize him as anti-Biblical. And then when his hostility toward Biblical people of faith is contrasted with his preferential treatment of Muslims and Muslim nations, it further strengthens the accuracy of the anti-Biblical descriptor. In fact, there have been numerous clearly documented times when his pro-Islam positions have been the cause of his anti-Biblical actions.Listed below in chronological order are (1) numerous records of his attacks on Biblical persons or organizations; (2) examples of the hostility toward Biblical faith that have become evident in the past three years in the Obama-led military; (3) a listing of his open attacks on Biblical values; and finally (4) a listing of numerous incidents of his preferential deference for Islam's activities and positions, including letting his Islamic advisors guide and influence his hostility toward people of Biblical faith.1. Acts of hostility toward people of Biblical faith:

Ultimate outrage: On same day. Obama blaming sequester cuts education money for soldiers. Money going to educating children of illegal immigrants.
Army suspends tuition assistance program for troops
Empty classrooms like this one on Kleber Kaserne, Germany, may be the new norm as the Army has suspended its tuition assistance program, citing fiscal challenges. The Army's announcement follows a similar message affecting the Marine Corps.

Marines halt new enrollments in tuition assistance programs; other services could follow
Student vets furious over tuition assistance cuts
Stars and Stripes' sequestration coverage
A view of the entrance to the Kleber Kaserne education center at Kaiserslautern, Germany. The Army has suspended its tuition assistance program, citing fiscal challenges. The Army's announcement follows a similar message affecting the Marine Corps.
WIESBADEN, Germany — The Army announced Friday it is suspending its tuition assistance program for soldiers newly enrolling in classes due to sequestration and other budgetary pressures.
"This suspension is necessary given the significant budget execution challenges caused by the combined effects of a possible year-long continuing resolution and sequestration," Paul Prince, an army personnel spokesman at the Pentagon, wrote in an email to Stars and Stripes. "The Army understands the impacts of this action and will re-evaluate should the budgetary situation improve."
The Army's announcement follows a similar move by the Marine Corps.
The Army's tuition assistance program was available for troops to complete a high school diploma, certificate program or college or master's degree. Under the program, the Army paid 100 percent of the tuition and authorized fees charged by a school up to established limits of $250 per semester hour or credit hour or up to $4,500 per fiscal year.
"The Secretary of the Army has approved the suspension of Tuition Assistance effective 5 p.m. (Eastern Time) on March 8, 2013. Soldiers will no longer be permitted to submit new requests for Tuition Assistance," read a statement posted Friday on the GoArmyEd.com website. "However, Soldiers currently enrolled in courses approved for Tuition Assistance are not affected, and will be allowed to complete current course enrollment(s).
"This change in the Army Tuition Assistance program applies to all Soldiers, including the Army National Guard and Army Reserves," the statement read.
Student Veterans of America on Friday blasted the decision, saying the move could hurt troops' post military careers and leave them in debt.
"It is utterly unacceptable that the first casualties of Congress' inability to act are education benefits for servicemembers," Michael Dakduk, executive director of SVA, said in a statement. "The decisions of the U.S. Marine Corps and the U.S. Army set a dangerous precedent that educating our nation's servicemembers and veterans is an expendable option."
Prior to the official announcement, messages about the suspension were circulating on various Facebook pages and on University of Maryland University College Europe's webpage.
Frustrations were evident on GoArmyEd's Facebook page on Friday.
"Wouldn't one think that GoArmyEd would have sent a mass e-mail to everyone enrolled instead of a few people here and there? I haven't gotten anything from my chain of command, GoArmyEd, or my school!," read one post.
Others expressed concern about remaining college requirements or how the suspension will affect the enlisted promotion system, where civilian education is valued and rewarded.
Sgt. 1st Class Vido Barina with the 66th Military Intelligence Brigade in Wiesbaden, Germany, said taking away tuition assistance is the wrong move.
"Every commercial, every brochure, has money for college written all over it … recruiting us into the Army and then taking away one of the main reasons we joined is a bit hypocritical," said Barina, who added that as an 11-year Army veteran, it's his junior troops he is concerned about. "There are so many things that cost a lot of money and don't need to take place that are not getting the ax."
Although tuition assistance is being suspended, soldiers can continue to access their GI Bill benefits or use other funding sources, such as grants and scholarships or state tuition assistance for Army National Guard soldiers.
Sgt. Daniel Phillips, with the 66th MI Brigade, said he was hoping to save the GI Bill to pass on to his kids, adding that paying for classes out of his own pocket isn't a realistic option.
"(Tuition Assistance) is something I've been utilizing my whole Army career to help me stand out from my peers and benefit my family," Phillips said. "I had a degree plan set up and this is going to be a huge setback."
Prince advised that soldiers contact their local education centers with questions and to get updates. Army officials say that updated information will also be posted to http://www.goarmyed.com.

Air Force joins Army, Marines in cutting tuition assistance
An airman speaks with a Grand Canyon University representative at an education fair at Vandenberg Air Force Base, Calif., Aug. 16, 2012.
U.S. AIR FORCE, FLICKR
By Charlie Reed and Jennifer H. Svan
Servicemembers and civilians take a test in Moriaki Kanai's Elementary Japanese class at the University of Maryland College at Yokota Air Base, Japan, September of 2006.
CHRISTOPHER B. STOLTZ / S&S
The Air Force has joined the Marines and the Army in dropping tuition assistance due to sweeping federal budget cuts.
Word of the decision began reaching airmen in the Pacific on Tuesday morning. During a commander's call at Yokota Air Base, 374th Airlift Wing commander Col. Mark August told airmen that applications for tuition assistance submitted after March 12 likely would be rejected by the Air Force.
"I suggest you call and see where your application's at," he said.
Because the Air Force is also strictly limiting TDY, professional education at the service's Non-Commissioned Officer Academy and Squadron Officer School, would also be limited, he said.
Commanders would likely have to limit and prioritize airmen scheduled to attend those schools, August said.
At Ramstein Air Base in Germany, phones at the education center were busy Tuesday morning with callers ranging from the distressed to those in disbelief asking: "What do you mean, I can't apply?"
"It has been probably one of the craziest mornings of my career," said Keith Davis, the chief of education and training at Ramstein, who fielded some of those phone calls. "It has been unbelievable."
The official message that the Air Force was suspending all new requests for tuition assistance effective immediately, came out "stateside time yesterday," Davis said Tuesday.
"We pushed an email out this morning from the education center," informing airmen of the change, Davis said.
By the time airmen woke up Tuesday morning in Germany, they were shut out from submitting new requests for tuition assistance through the Air Force Portal. A message on the application site says in red letters: "Air Force Military Tuition Assistance Currently Not Available."
Capt. Nicholas Plante, an Air Force spokesman at the Pentagon, said Tuesday that Secretary of the Air Force Michael Donley made the decision at about 5 p.m. Washington time Monday to suspend military tuition assistance. The service's education offices were promptly notified, and the Air Force planned to put out a statement Tuesday on its web site, www.af.mil, Plante said.
Sequestration, he said, is having "devastating effects" on readiness, mobilization and the workforce. "We have to make difficult choices to preserve those types of things."
Plante said the suspension applies to all components, including the Air Force Reserve and Air National Guard on extended active duty orders.
Last week, the Army and the Marines announced similar moves and the Navy was expected also to announce changes to its tuition assistance program.
As of Monday, airmen are not permitted to submit new requests for tuition assistance, Plante said. Airmen currently enrolled in approved courses are not affected, he said and are allowed to complete them. Applications from airmen submitted before the suspension but not yet approved will be processed normally, Plante said. The Air Force will evaluate the program in coming months, he said.
The Air Force has been providing $250 per semester credit hour and up to $4,500 a year to airmen pursuing associate's, bachelor's and master's degrees. The Air Force does not charge for professional education courses.
At Ramstein, about 1,600 students are currently taking advantage of tuition assistance benefits, according to Davis. About 70 requests are pending approval. To date this fiscal year, the base's education office has issued about $4 million in tuition assistance benefits.
"The advice is not to go away from education" but to still take advantage of other education benefits that are available, such as the G.I. Bill, Plante said. The cuts do not affect the G.I. Bill.
Yokota commander August told airmen who are concerned about how the cuts in education would affect their promotion prospects that review boards would factor in the education cuts.
A petition created March 8 — the day the Army announced its cuts — on the 'We the People' section of WhiteHouse.gov already has more than 27,000 signatures. It urges President Barack Obama to reinstate tuition assistance through an executive order. A petition must reach 100,000 signatures within 30 days to receive a response from the White House, according to its website.

House approves lowering tuition for Colorado illegal immigrant students, bill goes to governor
Students to get in-state tuition rates
(Photo courtesy: Colorado State Legislature)
DENVER – A bill allowing lower tuition rates for illegal immigrant students received final approval from state House lawmakers Friday.
The bill passed 40-21 and will now proceed to Gov. John Hickenlooper, who is expected to sign the bill. Three Republicans joined with all the Democratic lawmakers to approve the bill.
Hickenlooper tweeted, "Undocumented kids will now have a fair and equitable way to pursue a higher education in CO. Well done."
The bill allows students who graduate from Colorado high schools to attend college at the in-state rate regardless of their immigration status.
Currently, students in the country illegally must pay the non-resident tuition rate, which can be more than three times higher than the in-state rate.
The proposal and similar bills have been debated at the Colorado Legislature for a decade. Both parties have voted to defeat the bills in the past. Republicans argued that a federal immigration overhaul needs to happen first.
The bill has some specific requirements: Students must graduate from a Colorado high school, they must have resided in Colorado for at least three consecutive years and they must sign an affidavit stating they are seeking citizenship.
Legislative analysts say the measure could affect some 500 students next school year.
In the past, many Republicans have said that the legislation raises an issue of fairness because illegal immigrants would be receiving a benefit that other students don't receive. But Democrats say the state has invested in the immigrants' education in state public schools and they should have the chance to attend college at an affordable rate.

Three deep in every position but with three players double jobbing, so 42 players total.
It's no wonder Ireland were playing in blue last saturday.
Great to see Fergus McFadden featuring but why is he covering only one position? Fergus can play anywhere.

Depth in irish rugby is clearly better than before and the strongest that i can remember.
Carberry and Byrne COULD become decent 10's (i think Byrne could turn out to be pretty good in a couple of years) but the fitness of Jonny Sextn is absolutely key to Ireland. Not only is he a top class player but there is no-one else who has consistently delivered at 10 at eurooean or international level.
With Sexton playing as well as he is I am sure he would have been Ireland's first choice 10, but from an ireland point of view, having another 2 years of paddy jackson's development for the world cup and pushing Sexton would have been ideal.
Carbery and Byrne are the next best options but neither has the experience nor quality (at least yet) at 10 that PJ has.
Losing Sexton would be a big blow to Ireland regardless butat least with PJ there it would have softened it to some extent.
Carbery will get a lot of heineken cup time over the next 2 months plus a couple of derbies.
Then it's up to Joe to give him some decent time in the 6N including as a starter in the Italy game, maybe?

Finding the depth chart hard to fathom?
Pity someone wouldn't deliver a depth charge to the FIRFUCs instead.
There is a lot of Rugby between now and the World Cup and the near certainty that at least 3 will pick up a reasonably serious injury .
And much as the press (southern ) love Carberry there are a number of factors which put ?s at the depth chart as written .
Firstly the World Cup squad is limited in number and therefore selection is based on the need for a23 selection rather than position only .
Secondly Joe because of the depth is unlikely to follow the example of previous coaches and expect the core of his squad to play in every game .
Thus in his selection may include a couple utility players .
not be selected on that basis but as a centre .
With his versatility, the return of Fergus McFadden from injury can't come soon enough.

Fast Response Not Necessarily the Best in Crimea →
Ukraine: NATO Should Block the Bosporus and Assure its Allies
by Felix F. Seidler. Felix is a fellow at the Institute for Security Policy, University of Kiel, Germany and runs the site Seidlers Sicherheitspolitik". This article was published there at first
The times for good-will diplomacy are over. In response, NATO should block the Bosporus for Russian warships. Putin wants to play great power politics? Okay, let's do it.
Ukrainian soldiers, left and unidentified gunmen, right, guard the gate of an infantry base in Privolnoye, Ukraine, Sunday, March 2, 2014. Hundreds of unidentified gunmen arrived outside Ukraine's infantry base in Privolnoye in its Crimea region. The convoy includes at least 13 troop vehicles each containing 30 soldiers and four armored vehicles with mounted machine guns. The vehicles — which have Russian license plates — have surrounded the base and are blocking Ukrainian soldiers from entering or leaving it. (Darko Vojinovic/AP)
Choose a hard line!
The last time the Alliance has been as relevant as today was 9/11 or maybe even pre-1991. After the German-French-Polish brokered deal in Kiev has effectively failed, EU is out of business. Moreover, Russia obviously does not take the EU serious. Hence, Europe needs to be backed up by American power. In short, we need NATO.
Good-will diplomacy and communiques about cooperation had their chance. They failed. Putin is pursuing a hard line and so should the West. Through NATO as a political alliance, the West should take a hard line on Russia. Putin has been part of the problem in Iran and Syria already and he never intended to become part of the solution. Therefore, it is time that the West stops giving a damn about Russian positions.
Moreover, the UN will not be useful for anything. How should it, if Russia effectively decides what to do!? Therefore, let's get down to business and do realpolitik as the Russians do.
Block the Bosporus!
Putin's aim is to have Sevastopol as a naval base in the Black Sea, so that Russia is able to deploy warships to the Mediterranean. Hence, to get a bargain chip, NATO should block the Bosporus for all Russian warships, no matter whether leaving or entering the Black Sea. The blockade should not apply on civilian vessels.
Supported by a NATO decision, Turkey should suspend execution of the Montreux Convention, which grants Russian warships access to the Bosporus. NATO's policy should be: As long as Russia intervenes in Ukraine, the Bosporus will be closed for Russia's navy. Effectively, without access to the Bosporus, Russia's Black Sea Fleet will be useless and its warships in the Mediterranean will face serious operational difficulties.
The Bosphorus marked by the red flash.
NATO should deploy one its Standing NATO Maritime Groups to Aegean Sea or to the Bosporus. Moreover, we need at least one US Navy vessels – maybe the USS Mount Whitney – around the theater to make clear that the blockade is absolutely serious. Thereafter, a simple deal could be: Russia leaves Ukraine and in return gets access through the Bosporus. Without that deal, Russia would keep a naval base in Sevastopol worth nothing.
Give Assurance to Eastern Europe
Given the West does not do anything and Russia takes the Crimea, it is likely that Ukraine's east is next. Our allies in Eastern Europe rightly worry about their security.
Personally, I have many doubts that Germany would be willing to defend the Baltic states in case of a Russian invasion. NATO/EU membership would not matter. Can you imagine Angela Merkel giving her approval to invoke NATO's Article 5, then asking the Bundestag to approve the case of defense ("Verteidigungsfall"), re-institute the draft (which we would have to do then) and to send the Bundeswehr up in the Baltic to fight the Russians out? I can hardly imagine.
In consequence, we have to renew the security guarantees for the Eastern European partners now and we have to do it with more than just words. This could mean to deploy additional fighters for NATO's Baltic Air Policing. James Stavridis has mentioned the NATO Response Force as an option, which could be, according to Stavridis, brought into "a higher state of alert". Moreover, SHAPE should develop contingency plans to respond to any assertive Russian behavior concerning NATO territory.
Please do not get me wrong. I do not want to make the case for the use of force. However, I want to make the case that NATO, by use of its military power, has to draw red lines and make clear to Putin that – this time – the red lines will be enforced.
Currently in the Mediterranean: the USS George H.W. Bush (CVN-77)
Will Germany loose its face?
For Germany, this crisis is a moment of truth. In January, the President of Germany Joachim Gauck, the Defense and the Foreign Ministers established high ambitions for a more proactive German foreign and security policy. The most challenging issue now is, if Germany can deliver, so that the stated new ambitions (at least partially) meet with reality. Foreign minister Steinmeier's negotiation efforts in Kiev were a sufficient try to meet the ambitions; however, more has not been delivered, yet.
By the way, where is Angela Merkel? Expressing "deep concern" on the phone to Putin will not have any impact. Given the world gets nothing else from Berlin but words, Germany risks to lose its face once again. Hence, Germany should be one of the leading nations in creating a response by NATO to Russia's aggression; including my proposed Bosporus blockade.
Russia is not the worst threat to NATO
Since 1992, NATO has been engaged in out-of-area and combat missions. This era was about to end anyway through the lack of political will, resources and money. However, through Ukraine, NATO's focus and relevance have settled back in Europe. We do not need NATO in Asia or Sub-Sahara Africa.
Instead, we are our worst own enemy. In principle, things look quite well: All NATO allies together remain superior to the rest of the world – economically, technologically, militarily, soft power. In practice, the West's performance has been very poor. In Syria, Russia, China, Iran and Assad have very successfully played cats and dogs with the West – resulting in the long to be impossible declared survival of Assad's regime. Even worse, Americans and Europeans let it happen that they became victim of Putin's divide and rule game, under use of the chess pawn Edward Snowden. However, NATO states could succeed together in Ukraine and elsewhere, but this depends on strategic foresight and – most important – on political will.
Despite all criticism, the Alliance continued to exist and through Russia's invasion of Ukraine, it will continue to do so. However, to make a difference, Western governments, in particular the US and Germany, need to wake up and start doing realpolitik.

[…] even perfectly-designed economic sanctions won't eject the Russians from Crimea, and what will be implemented in the coming days and weeks will be far from perfect. But the United States should impose sanctions anyway. The first thing to understand about sanctioning Russia over its incursion into the Crimea has nothing to do with the impact of the sanctions and everything to do with what is being demanded of Moscow. The United States wants Russia to withdraw military forces from a piece of territory they have long coveted. However much Russia has contravened international law over the past week, they've changed the facts on the ground. They control the Crimea, and public opinion in that autonomous republic is pretty Russo-friendly. The current status quo for Russia is that they control that territory. In world politics, there is no greater demand to ask of a government than to make de facto or de jure territorial concessions. The domestic and international ramifications of such a concession are massive — especially after force was used to occupy the territory. So recognize that the demand being attached to the sanctions is so large that success is extremely unlikely. The only case of economic coercion succeeding in a similar case in history was the 1956 Suez crisis. — Daniel W. Drezner, "Bringing the Pain – Can sanctions hurt Putin enough to make him give up Crimea?", Foreign Policy, 07.03.2013.
A Ukrainian navy sailor looks at the scuttled Russian ship from the Black Sea shore.
According to the Ukraine Defence Ministry spokesman Lieutenant-Colonel Alexei Mazepa, Russian sailors pulled the anti-submarine vessel Ochakov out of a naval junkyard and sank it in the straits that connect the Black Sea with a body of water known as Donuzlav lake. He said the act was intended to prevent Ukrainian navy ships from leaving a nearby base and going to sea (Source: Sergei L. Loiko, "Russia sinks ship to block Ukrainian navy entry to Black Sea", The Sydney Morning Herald, 07.03.2014).
giggig says:
Mr Putin's dishonesty knows no limits,no shame. He denies command over those men, blockading Ukrainian naval operations. Smashing in the Infantry base gate, stealing or extorting all firearms from Ukrainian Soldiers. Starve them out, to defect to Russia. Newt Gingrich said, he is a dictator and a thug. I cannot agree more, when I see what's going on between Putin, Iran and North Korea.
Closing Bosporus to Russia would be seen as an act of war and Putin's response precalculated (eg. Retorsion on Turkey). An act of war however is exactly, what he (Mr. Putin) has done so far. Especially if Mr. Putin was introducing these demonstrations in Kiew, as part of his war plan. Ukraine, at least the west of Ukraine, that is definitely now fighting for their freedom, must immediately join NATO, else they find themselves outgunned and outmanned. They would be forced to dislocate into Concentration Camps In Siberia and/or even North Korea.
Comes to think of Korea, this war has not concluded and was the aggression war of Stalin. Stalin denied also command of his pilots that where unidentifiable men in 1953 against the UN. UN was formed with 27 or more Nations, even Japan contributed with logistic. These Pilots spoke Russian, but could not use their radios to avoid their ID.
Closing Bosporus may trigger a major clash and break the ceasefire in Korea. Also in East Germany, no NATO bases have been established. Mr. Putin may be encouraged to do same procedures (Re-Possession) in Poland and the rest of the former Soviet Union. We and Japan need to arm up again. Engage in the ARM'S RACE, SIMULTANEOUSLY WITH THE BOSPORUS BLOCKADE. Gen Beetlove is NATO
surpreme Commander.Commander in Chief however Obama. We have seen in Libya and Syria, how Mr Putin is thumpnosing Obama. Looks like Mr. Putin would like to pull his expansion plans off before the US (and NATO) inaugurates the new president. Remember, waging war of aggression is an international war crime, Putin and his thugs in the Kremlin would have to capitulate at the end and held responsible for it.
Turkey may say NO to the blockade. Remember March 2003, 4th US Army planed to roll towards Iraq.T hey denied the passage. The 4th Army had to travel at sea, all the way through the Suez and come in from the South as well. Gibraltar must be closed for Russia and their possible allies (eg.NK, Iran and whoever, incl.China ), as Plan B.
The USS George H.W. Bush (CVN-77) anchors off the coast of Piraeus, Greece, 04.03.2014.
In the military sphere, these include ordering the Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe (SHAPE), led by U.S. Gen. Phil Breedlove, to conduct prudent planning and present options in response to the situation. While such planning should be left to the current commanders and military experts, some ideas to consider would include:
Increasing all intelligence-gathering functions through satellites, Predator unmanned vehicles, and especially cyber.
Using the NATO-Ukrainian Commission and existing military partnerships with the Ukrainian military to share information, intelligence, and situational awareness with authorities in Kiev.
Providing advice to Ukrainian armed forces to prepare and position themselves in the event of further conflict.
Developing NATO contingency plans to react to full-scale invasion of Ukraine and to a partial invasion likely of Crimea. NATO contingency planning can be cumbersome, but in Libya it moved quickly.
Assigning one of the NATO Joint Force Commands (either Naples, Italy, or Brunssum, Netherlands) into direct overwatch of the situation.
Standing up NATO crisis centers to full manning, especially at SHAPE and the relevant Joint Force Command.
Ensuring that the Land and Maritime Component Commands (Izmir, Turkey, and Northwood in the United Kingdom, respectively) are conducting prudent planning in their areas of expertise and feeding their analysis to the Joint Force Command.
Bringing the NATO Response Force, a 25,000-man sea, air, land, and special forces capability, to a higher state of alert.
Convening allies with cyber-capabilities (this is not a NATO specialty) to consider options — at a minimum to defend Ukraine if it is attacked in this domain (as Georgia was).
Sailing NATO maritime forces into the Black Sea and setting up contingency plans for their use.
— James Stavridis, 4-star Navy admiral, 15th Commander of USEUCOM, NATO's 16th SACEUR and 12th Dean of The Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University, "NATO Needs to Move Now on Crimea", Foreign Policy, 01.02.2014, links added by the Administrator.
Ukraine is not NATO. NATO is a defensive alliance. Hence, there can be no NATO action. If the US and/or whomever want to impose sanctions or take military action they will do it all by themselves.
Sorry V, but that's partially wrong. Yes, Ukraine is not a NATO member, but NATO is not "only" a defensive alliance. For example NATO's intervention into former Yugoslavia wasn't defensive nor under the terms of international law. Of course, the alliance has the possibility to adopt military measures against whoever it wants, if they are approved by NATO's member states (consensus decision-making). However, a such decision is unlikely at the moment.


If you make changes to your garden or your landscaping, you might need to adjust your pop-up sprinkler heads. The good news is that this a really simple process. Most pop-up sprinkler heads are designed the same way and all you'll need to readjust are a pair of pliers and a regular screwdriver.
After watering your lawn, take a look at your lawn to see if there are any problem spots. Is water pooling in one area? That could be a drainage issue on your property, or it could mean that the sprinklers covering that area are delivering too much water. Does your lawn have a nice uniform color? Are there any spots that are "not quite as green?" That could mean you're not delivering enough water to those areas, requiring a different adjustment.
Once you've identified any potential problem spots, turn the water back on. You should be able to visually verify what's happening (too much water or not enough in the problem areas).
To adjust a sprinkler head, grip the sprayer head with a pair of pliers or a pull-up tool, and pull it up as far as it will go. Adjust the nozzle clockwise or counter-clockwise until it will fully cover the area you want watered. If the water spray is too much or too little, you can adjust the output screw on top of the sprinkler head with a screwdriver.
Check your results! Keep adjusting the pop-up heads until you have the water spraying exactly where you want it.
Spray pop-up sprinkler heads are inexpensive and easy to adjust once you get the hang of them. If you have any questions or need any replacement heads, contact Irrigation Outlet!

Daleville continues protocol on online schools' closure
Rebecca R. Bibbs
Rebecca Bibbs
DALEVILLE — Officials at Daleville Community Schools continue to wade through the closure protocols for two online schools for which it served as authorizer.
Daleville Superintendent Paul Garrison told the district's board of trustees Monday that the Indiana Virtual School still has $35,130 in its fund, and the Indiana Virtual Pathways Academy has more than $530,000 in its fund. Daleville Community School Corp., however, is drawing against the IVS funds to follow the state-mandated closure protocols.
"If we weren't the authorizer, we wouldn't have the expense," he said.
Garrison's update was part of a meeting of Daleville's Board of Finance, which is made up of school board members. Though the annual meeting to update members has been required for years, it was much longer than before because of the state's new reporting requirements.
Daleville revoked the virtual schools' charters in August.
According to an agreement reached between Daleville and the virtual schools' administration, the administration was supposed to implement the closure protocols. That includes gathering records of 15,000 students and sending them to the school districts of their last known legal address.
The virtual schools' last combined enrollment was about 7,200 students, but the records being transferred are for all who ever attended, even if they took only one class, Garrison said.
"Those records now are in the process of being transferred through safe digital means," he said.
Daleville staff is performing the protocol duties because the district refused to pay any more money to the virtual schools. The Indiana and federal departments of education each have initiated investigations into possible enrollment irregularities that may have led to overpayments to the schools.
Garrison said the status of those payments remains uncertain.

Very good that this has been going on, and much thanks for the report!What I am missing is an even wider alignment of movements! I recently hosted a U-Lab Hub in Brussels, where people from all sectors came together to learn more about Theory U. There you find a similar kind of resonance, although these people might not have heard about commons or maybe a bit about P2P. They are consultants, coaches and change agents within organisations. Similar kind of people you find in Art of Hosting, and many many more of these participatory approaches. Please read Otto Scharmer's last post in Huffington Post where he explains 7 principles he saw at work during the U-Lab, with over 25.000 participants. I think Michel that you can easily 'translate' them into P2P terms...I'm looking forward to the time we can work from the synergy of all!

Q: Chrome MBA 2013, causing audio cracking, all flash videos! I recently purchased a MBA 2013, 13 inch. Used it for a week; was great with Chrome. I suspect after I tried installing some Quicktime plugins to watch an Apple Keynote, my audio started going downhill from there. This resulted in using Safari for the last week, but I cant take it anymore. Need to fix Chrome back.
I've tried
- installing flash again,
- disabling/enabling different chrome://plugins

- install, reinstalling chrome using these long patch of commands
rm -r /Applications/Google\ Chrome.app/
rm -r ~/Library/Application\ Support/Google/Chrome/
rm ~/Library/Application\ Support/CrashReporter/Google\ Chrome*
rm ~/Library/Preferences/com.google.Chrome*
rm ~/Library/Preferences/Google\ Chrome*
rm -r ~/Library/Caches/com.google.Chrome*

rm ~/Library/Google/GoogleSoftwareUpdate/Actives/com.google.Chrome
rm ~/Library/Google/Google\ Chrome*
rm -r ~/Library/Speech/Speakable\ Items/Application\ Speakable\ Items/Google\ Chrome/

I am willing to do anything really, except re-install a fresh copy of Mountain Lion.
I thank everyone in advanced!

A: I'm having the same problem and I have spend several hours on the web trying to find an answer but it sounds like it's the new IOS for mac book problem, as the camera on Skype - not working and if you open Safari with google Chrome the screen will start to crashdown ..

One of the best bits of advice I was given at Capgemini revolved around the idea that you can't please all of the people all of the time.
It was the 70/30 rule of engagement. I am pretty sure that whoever told me it made it up, but it was a great rule of thumb that I have used many times over the years.
The rule says that when trying to engage a group you are always going to have around 30% who will not engage. 15% will have no interest and 15% will actively and deliberately choose to not engage (a bit like a Disruptor, no?).
Gamification is not a "one size fits all" type of solution and it is certainly not a solution that everyone will like. When doing anything like this you are trying to engage with as many people as possible, but that is almost certainly not everyone.
Don't put yourself under the sort of pressure that aiming for 100% engagement will create, it will send you to an early grave!
