Ya'll know I'm a news junkie...I came across an article in Wired about a new Gov't search engine....
( http://usgovsearch.northernlight.com/ )

Its not supposed to be free, but cuz of interdepartmental disputes, they have to figure out a price, so until June 1 it is free.

I feel like a kid in a candy shop! Or an adult at a free gun show :).

Here is the "Wired" article:

If the govt gives it to you and its free it is because they want a data base of WHO is looking for WHAT.
Or am I a nutcase?

Actually, my understanding is that the fee is not for content its for the ease of finding stuff.

Anyway, I'm sure they already know about me and what I'm interested in and what I'm capable of. I suspect if I diappeared off the Net, then they'd get concerned about what I'm up to ;)

DC,

I went there looking for the field manuals that the infantry is given, because there has been talk about them here.

I could not find anything before my wife gave me the "It's time to dedicate time to me" look.

Can you help?

Thanks.

A search using:

crime rate in England

yeilded this gem;

"
Title: Many crime rates in England pass those in U.S.

Summary: Since 1981, crime rates for most major offenses have become much higher in England than in the United States, while the risk of being punished has become much greater here, according to the Justice Department. A department study released this week says that a person committing a serious crime other than murder in the United States rape, robbery, assault, burglary or motor-vehicle theft "is generally more likely than one in England to be caught and convicted."

So much for the "If gun control doesn't work, then explain why the crime rate in England is so low"argument.

UBB keeps messing up the URL for links (links are 4 lines long)

1)"Military Training Manuals".....65 docs and special function
2)"US Army Training Manuals"...22 docs
3)"US Army weapons training manuals"...1668 docs and special function

UN objectivity questioned

Summary:
WITH a bit of investigative journalism the item headed, Be
Wary Over US Gun Lobby (The Post, Dec 17), could have been
more enlightening. The item dealt with one of a series of United
Nations "workshops" on gun control and was apparently
addressed by globe- trotting New Zealand anti-gun activist
Philip Alpers. The report failed to mention that these workshops
are primarily aimed at legitimising the anti-gun sentiments of a
group of politicians and activists who each have their own
reasons for campaigning against civilian ownership of firearms.
Workshops are being held in locations where the anti-gun spin
doctors believe they will have the most impact and the majority
of those who attended the Brazil workshop appear to have had
their expenses paid by Japan (a country with a debatable record
in human rights). The meeting was apparently chaired by
Canada, a country with a Government trying to make new gun
control laws work, with little success but great costs

And this:


Developments in mutual cooperation, coordination and
assistance between the U.S. and other countries in international
tax enforcement

Summary:
This article discusses developments and trends in mutual
cooperation, coordination, and assistance between US and other
countries in international tax enforcement. Interaction between
tax and non-tax enforcement will grow, especially because the
same prohibitions on exchanging tax information do not apply
to non-tax information, thereby providing a potent weapon with
which tax authorities can obtain information. In this context, tax
counsel must be creative to serve their clients by providing
timely information, working with legislators, regulators and
non-governmental organizations to help shape proper
international tax policy.
 
Yo, DC! What a great gag line!

"Japan has a 'debatable' record on human rights" indeed! I thought my sides would split!
