...Kim’s information ranges in quality from outdated to laughably incorrect. For example, the M4 carbine is now being fielded to most deploying units, and is not in any way “a specialty weapon mainly issued to elite operators in Special Forces units.” In fact, many SF units are now being issued the HK416. I have personally seen the difference between a well-maintained weapon and a poorly maintained one. In short, the former works. Soldiers who expect to clean their weapon once a week, or only after firing, are begging for disaster...
First Walker. Her images are special because they are intimate and iconic at the same time. She takes what is momentary and makes it indelible. TIME's White House photographer from 1984 to 2000, she trained her eye on America's First Families, from Presidents Gerald Ford to Bill Clinton, even before joining the magazine.

...need to be more than “Lucky,” their hopefully-titled fifth studio album, to shoot back to the top of the charts. The alt-rock trio lays down eleven solid tracks, but “Lucky” isn’t particularly special coming from a band which has produced fantastic material in the past. One of the three or so songs which manages to stand out is the opening number, “See These Bones.” A ringing guitar part and frontman Matthew Caws’ bright, clear voice start...
