On 9/11 I lived in suburb of Denver,CO. I had no ties to New York or Washington DC. However, I did have a good friend and co-worker from my department visiting New York. She went to a training seminar and was on the 106th floor of Tower 1 when the plane hit. My boss, who used to live in New York said she lost 7 close friends that she knew of; her husband lost a lot more. My aunt lived through the LA riots with nothing more than a broken windshield and shaken nerves. I had several friends from high school living in New Orleans when Katrina hit, though luckily none of them were hurt. I've lived in the Denver area for 15 years and I had dozens of coworkers with children in Columbine High School the day that place became famous and I currently live 5 miles from the theater in Aurora, CO where a recent mass murder took place. Believing you cannot be affected simply because you are not currently an obvious target always seemed childishly naive to me. The Boy Scout motto is "Be Prepared". I cannot think of any way one's life could be bettered by doing otherwise. nip

Sony was entrusted with something they needed to keep secure. They failed. If I give money to a bank and some guy is able to take that money by kicking in the back door, then yes, the robber should go to jail, but the bank deserves blame too for not sufficiently securing what they were entrusted with. nip

A regulation soccer field is 100x70 yards or 91440x64008mm. That's a total of 5852891520mm^2. The soccer fields FTA are 4.65mm^2 (including the goals, they aren't rectangular). They are 1/1,258,686,348 the size of a regular soccer field. Nano (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nano-) means 1 billionth. These soccer fields are slightly less than 1 billionth the size of a normal soccer field and are therefore "Nano-Soccer Fields".
