The TCP06 conference in Canada showcased the impressive progress in the study of fundamental physics using trapped charged particles. The combination of overview articles by leaders in the field and detailed reports on recent research results will without doubt make these proceedings an extremely useful reference for researchers within the community, but also for those who study similar physics with different techniques, or use trapping methods for different purposes.

The U.S. Army's policy for assigning female soldiers is significantly more challenging to implement in the era of persistent warfare. The problem is that the Army policy needs to be revised because the more recent Office of the Secretary of Defense women's assignment rule, the challenges in 21st century security environment, and the adaptations in tactics and force structure make the existing policy open to interpretation by commanders and open to public criticism. Thus, the primary research question is: How should the Army Policy for the Assignment of Female Soldiers be revised in order to address the modern battlefield? Four areas were studied. First, the current Army policy was examined in order to determine potential gaps between lower and higher policies. Next, the researcher studied the system of assignment to verify that women were place according to the policy understanding. The third area of study focused on identifying unique characteristics of the irregular battlefield including specific differences in the security environment. Finally, the researcher determined how the environment caused the Army to adapt to the dangers. The researcher applied the information gathered to each section of the potential gaps identified in the assignment policy and made recommendations for potential revisions to policy and training.

While most treatments of biblical metaphor examine individual metaphors in isolation, Sarah J. Dille presents a model for interpretation based on their interaction with one another. Using Lakoff and Johnson's category of "metaphoric coherence," she argues that when nonconsistent or contradictory metaphors appear together in a literary unit, the areas of overlap (coherence) are highlighted in each. Using the images of father and mother in Deutero-Isaiah as a starting point, she explores how these images interact with others: for example, the divine warrior, the redeeming kinsman, the artisan of clay, or the husband. The juxtaposition of diverse metaphors (common in Hebrew prophetic literature) highlights common "entailments," enabling the reader to see aspects of the image which would be overlooked or invisible if read in isolation. Dille argues that any metaphor for God can only be understood if it is read or heard in interaction with others within a particular cultural context.
