...effectiveness of the Predator in war zones, however, has translated into stresses in an unlikely place: back home. The operational tempo puts intense pressure on the small group of men and women who deliver death from a distance. The 180-person Nellis unit runs 24 hours a day, seven days a week, with no holidays. The unit has logged more flight hours than any other squadron in the Air Force yet is only 65% staffed. Crew members are so tightly scheduled that when on duty, they have to ask permission to go to the bathroom and cannot leave their chairs...
...brief, frenetic bongo riff leads to the vocal theme-each of title's four words held for a full bar-accompanied by the bass drum working out (at a much slower tempo) the immortal boom, ba-doom intro to Fats Domino's 1957 "I'm Walkin'."

...rapper around. The soundtrack to 50’s new movie “Get Rich Or Die Tryin’” is the latest installment, no more and no less. The album pretty much has the same feel all the way through: mildly threatening drums, mid-tempo minor-key keyboards and the occasional generic ’70s funk loop. The good part of this is that the album has a unified feel, and one can get lost in the drone, which is, at times, pretty easy on the ears. The bad part is that...
Donato looks to retain last season’s up-tempo offense, and four of the last year’s top goal scorers—Ryan Maki, Jon Pelle, Charlie Johnson, and Kevin Du—return to an offense that was second in scoring in the ECAC last year...
