- IDF considers releasing its official history of 1973 war (Ha'aretz) A two-volume, 744-page official Israel Defense Forces history of the Yom Kippur War, completed nearly a decade ago but not shown to anyone other than staff college graduates and the most senor officers - and the senior officers mentioned in it, or their relatives if officers have died - might yet be published in the coming months. The assumption in the General Staff is that the report was shelved to satisfy various politicians, most specifically Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, whose performance as a reserve general, commanding a corps in the Sinai, is described in terms that infuriated him when he read a draft of the report and commented on it |

- Back in body, if not in mind After ten days of being (over)fed by relatives and others, I'm now on the salad and soup routine for a while. While I did my best to ignore the news, particularly politics and technology, a couple of items did soak through: Once Ahnuld announced, all I had to do was mention being from California to be immediately asked "what's going on out there", and spend 10-15 minutes explaining budget and energy crises, Davis, and so forth. Score a high level of interest, but apparently little confidence that the media are delivering useful information. Since this is the 'silly season' of August writ large, that's likely correct. |

- Or Major Bonehead. Either one will work. Yesterday, I was using our riding mower on one of our drainage ditches. It was twilight, so it was hard to make out objects in the grass. I was almost done with this one ditch when I saw a 20+ foot length of 1/8 inch steel cable jumbled up right in front of the mower. |

- Yes, that header is a gross overstatement, but no sooner did Biden bow out than the blogs started crackling with conjecture about the last big open question that we know of: Will General Wesley Clark run? And if he does, will it tear the Democratic race wide open, or is he too unknown, too inexperienced arriving way too late in the race? DailyKos posed the Clark question and a fascinating discussion erupted in the comments section. Check them out. |

- Scaled Composites is favourite to win the X-Prize with its combination craft SpaceShipOne and White Knight. White Knight is to carry SS1 to a sufficiently high altitude where the two separte and SS1 continues into Space. In a milestone test last week SpaceShipOne (SS1) completed its first unpowered free flight after being carried aloft attached underneath White Knight and released at 14,300 meters and a speed of 195 kmph. According to a report on Scaled's web site, SS1 glided for 19 minutes, testing the vehicle's performance over 60% of the planned subsonic flight envelope, before making a runway landing at Mojave Airport in California. The vehicle's performance compared well to simulator tests. |
