The sheer number of blogs and Web sites, and the viral spread of information on the Internet, makes gathering specific measures of effectiveness difficult, Barber said, but she gains confidence from subjective measures like MNF-I also constructing a YouTube page, or other federal government agencies inquiring about how to approach new media on their end.<...> Barber expressed confidence, however, in the department’s posturing via new media advances and its readiness to adapt as necessary to continue best serving its primary audiences.
Apparently there's some engaging still to be had
At this point, nothing surprises me anymore.
Sometimes the big machine grinds slowly, but at least it's grinding. I think they're beginning to "get it."
HELEN - A camping trip to Low Gap Camp Grounds near Helen turned into a harrowing experience for Chris Everhart and his three sons when they tangled with a 300-pound black bear.But it proved fatal for the bear.
The bear had taken the Everharts' cooler and was heading back to the woods when 6-year-old Logan hurled a shovel at it.
Fearing what might happen next, the Norcross father and ex-Marine grabbed the closest thing he could find _ a log.
"(I) threw it at it and it happened to hit the bear in the head," Chris Everhart said. "I thought it just knocked it out but it actually ended up killing the bear."The man was given a ticket for failing to secure his camp site, said Ken Riddleberger, a region supervisor for game management with the Georgia Department of Natural Resources.
Now I really cannot comment much on this story because it might seem unfavorable to the Marine who didn't secure his camp, however one cannot deny his good aim, but then, he's a Marine.
BTW, someone please inform the press, that once a Marine always a Marine, NOT an EX-Marine, unless his name is Murtha.

Over the past several days I've noticed troops moving from their tents to the latrines and back again. This seems to happen at all hours, day and night. Not sure exactly what's going on, but I'll remain vigilant and inform the home office immediately upon discovery.
Cheers,

Photo exhibits, kidnapping, tribal anger, and wheat harvest results - all found here.
Maybe someone should be holding OpSec classes for journos?
This from the Telegraph about a potentially serious OpSec violation by the BBC... What were they thinking?????
See that post two down? I should have also credited the Dawn Patrol at Mudville, which has been all over this, too.
And I can't even use the excuse that YouTube is blocked at work because I'm on leave this week.
Mea culpa, mea maxima culpa. I think I'll just sit over here quietly in the corner for a few minutes...
Earlier this year, the Australian Navy showed how to handle Iranian Revolutionary Guardsmen in the NAG:
The Defence Department has confirmed a report Iranian naval forces in the Persian Gulf tried to capture an Australian navy boarding team but were repelled in the face of machine guns and "highly colourful language".The Brits should have followed the Aussie example.
According to the BBC, the incident took place before Iranian Revolutionary Guards seized 15 British sailors and marines in March, setting off a tense two-week diplomatic stand-off that might have been avoided if Britain had learned from the Australian encounter...
...Quoting a "military source", BBC security correspondent Frank Gardner reports Iranian forces made a concerted attempt to seize a boarding party from the Royal Australian Navy and that the Australians "were having none of it".
"The BBC has been told the Australians re-boarded the vessel they had just searched," Gardner reports, "aimed their machine guns at the approaching Iranians, and warned them to back off, using what was said to be 'highly colourful language'.
"The Iranians withdrew, and the Australians were reportedly lifted off the ship by one of their own helicopters."
