...While the intersection of two sonar-equipped nuclear submarines in a vast ocean may seem an unlikely event even without communication, there are environmental anomalies in the Atlantic that make a collision more likely, according to Ferguson. Submarines on a deterrent mission, for instance, tend to congregate in places where they are unlikely to be found by other submarines and spy planes. "There are oceanographic factors in which you can be on either side of an ocean front where the temperature is slightly different on your side than the others," says Ferguson. "Where the gulf stream comes across the Atlantic...
...dedicated herself to all aspects of it--playing, organizing tournaments, establishing rules and more. While my fellow players and I do not have it as hard as Betty did in an era when women's sports were barely a blip on the radar, we have derived our own mission from the work of Betty and the other incredible first women of golf.

The lantern is comprised of two projectors with identical film strips shown out of sync by one or more frames...
...natural to question whether a return to violence might not be as swift. Major General Andy Salmon, the commander of the multinational forces in the region, believes that widespread optimism - among Basrawis as well as their soon-to-depart overlords - is justified and itself a force for change. His mission, he says, has been "to protect that optimism, shape it and build it. I am confident Basra is not going to go back to the previous darkness...
