Is it Too Early to Be Talking About Mobile World Congress?
Last month, a colleague stopped me and said, "Kit, it's only November. Isn't it too early to be discussing Mobile World Congress?" My answer, as you might have guessed, was an emphatic "no!"
This will be my 11th Mobile World Congress (MWC) and, for those of us actively engaged in the mobile space, it is the event of the year. It brings over 60,000 members of the mobility community—vendors, service providers, analysts and the media—all under the same roof for four full days to innovate, collaborate and shape the future of the industry.
It's fitting that the theme of this year's show is "Redefining Mobile," because that's exactly what Cisco is doing. At MWC 2011, we launched our M.O.VE framework, designed to help mobile operators monetize and optimize the Mobile Internet while enhancing the video experience. Customers told us that their conversations with Cisco were among the most useful meetings they had that week. We heard over and over again that Cisco is offering the right solutions at the right time.
This year, Cisco's Mobile Internet solutions will continue to M.O.VE service providers' networks. We're architecting the next generation Internet to be more mobile, more visual, more virtual and more simple. As mobile data access becomes increasingly critical to how we live, work, play, and learn, Cisco is partnering with global mobile operators to address these opportunities and challenges. To that end, we're accelerating our enhancements of intelligent packet core, RAN, and Wi-Fi solutions.
As in the past, Cisco's senior leadership team – including John Chambers – will once again be in Barcelona for the show. We've expanded our presence so that we can tell Cisco's end-to-end mobility story and have the strategic conversations that are needed with you—our customers and partners.
I've been in the mobility industry for 15 years and I get excited for MWC every year. Where else does every conversation and every new idea have the potential to change the way we live our lives?
I'm eager to meet with as many of our customers and partners as I can. To schedule a meeting with me or other members of the Cisco team, please contact your Cisco account manager. See you in Barcelona!
Also, look out for Andy Capener's blog, "Cisco Ready for Mobile World Congress 2012–First Look at Our Demo Plans" this Thursday!
In an effort to keep conversations fresh, Cisco Blogs closes comments after 60 days. Please visit the Cisco Blogs hub page for the latest content.

Nearly 70 vehicles involved in chain reaction crashes along interstate
Nearly 70 vehicles were involved in crashes on Interstate 41 in Washington County Wisconsin on Monday, a Wisconsin State Patrol sergeant told WISN 12 News.
One of the five or six separate crashes in the southbound lanes involved 46 vehicles. Another involved a school bus. Minor injuries were reported.
The interstate from State Highway 144 to State Highway 60 was closed for a good portion of the day, stranding some commuters for hours.
In the northbound lanes, three separate chain reaction crashes ensnared more than 20 vehicles, including up to a dozen tractor-trailers and 10 to 12 passenger cars.
In Sheboygan County, a crash closed State Highway 23 near Interstate 43. Commuters were urged to avoid the area if possible. Those already in the area are asked to be patient and be mindful of emergency vehicles.

Last week my colleagues and I attended the National Retail Federation (NRF) 102nd Annual Convention & Expo in New York. We walked the expo floor and met with many of our customers, prospects and partners – we had a number of great conversations. The most popular topics of discussion for us and our customers were Internet Retailer's "Top 1000" and "Hot 100," lists that highlight the vendors to the top retailers in the country.
Rackspace is the No. 1 hosting provider to top 1,000 retailers in the US, according to Internet Retailer's newsletter "Introducing the Top Vendors to the Top 1,000." Rackspace is also the top hosting provider for Internet Retailer's Hot 100. According to Internet Retailer, we support 11 of the hottest ecommerce sites in the US, more than any other hosting provider! We are leading in this market, and our customers and partners turn to us when they need a trusted hosting partner.
So what does Rackspace have that puts it atop these two significant lists?
Our customers told us one thing that sets us apart is our broad product portfolio, which includes dedicated hosting, public cloud, private cloud and hybrid cloud. Our product portfolio gives our customers the flexibility to chose the right solution for any given business problem.
Our customers also value that we back our product portfolio with word-class services and support. Rackspace provides Fanatical Support – from help making strategic decisions to debugging production issues. Our solution architects share best practices around performance optimization and security; Rackspace Advisory Services helps our customers experience a seamless journey to the cloud; and Rackspace Critical Application Services guarantees 100 percent production platform uptime, provided a recommended architecture is deployed.
Rackspace has alliances with many customers and partners within the ecommerce and retail ecosystems and we have proven experience in advising on and hosting infrastructure that runs ecommerce applications like Magento, Oracle Commerce, hybris and IBM Websphere Commerce. Our network of partnerships with ecommerce platforms, integrators and members of the ecommerce ecosystem makes it easy to get end-to-end support for overall solutions that include multiple products from various vendors.
Our customers added that with Rackspace they feel they are in good hands and have signed on with a true hosting leader, which was validated when Gartner positioned Rackspace as a leader in its Magic Quadrant for Managed Hosting based on the completeness of our vision and our ability to execute.
Finally our customers said they experience high availability and faster page load times for their online stores, which eventually translates into higher customer loyalty and higher conversion rates.
Greg Selkoe, CEO of Karmaloop.com, a Rackspace customer that ranks No. 138 on Internet Retailer's 2012 Top 1,000 web retailers, said, "The hosting company holds our heart in their hands. They can shut it down any time if they make any mistake. We need to know that our heart surgeon is the best in the world and the person is going to keep us running and healthy all the time. We feel very confident with Rackspace Hosting in giving our heart – our entire online store – in their hands."
As a part of our focused effort for ecommerce solutions in 2013, we plan to launch Rackspace Solutions for eCommerce this week. As part of the launch, we will release four new reference architectures for ecommerce solutions. Stay tuned for a series of blog posts that will provide more information about these new reference architectures.
We look forward to becoming your trusted hosting provider, and we wish you all a happy and successful 2013.

Hi all,
Just moved into the area a month ago (losing all my tennis buddies on the east side) and I'm craving for some regular tennis! I'm about a 4.0 but probably leaning towards a 3.5 now having not played for some time. I'm down for some simple rallying or playing a set -- I'm fine either way.
Please let me know if you're interested in hitting sometime. My schedule typically allows for evenings on weekdays and mornings over the weekend. If it helps, the Barrington Recreation Center courts on 333 S. Barrington Ave. are most convenient but I'm definitely open to learning about and meeting at other courts in the area.

Sure I can. Be warned I'm probably quite rusty having not played for months but I'm really looking forward to getting back in the game. Send me an email and we could find a day and time that works.
[edit: please share private info via PM or Friend Request]
i'm in mar vista, stoner park is about half way between us if your available sometime. i'm a 4.0/4.5 looking for some matches. feel free to email or text
[edit: please share private info via PM or Friend Request]
Thanks for the reply. Will do!
Hi there,
I'm a 4.0 singles player. Are you available to rally this Sunday at 10:00am? Best way to contact me is by mobile as I rarely check this site. :)
I live in Culver City and play at Stoner Park, Mar Vista, or Penmar.
Let me know!
Hi Rhonda! Likewise -- I rarely check this site. I'm feeling more like a 3.5 so if that doesn't bother you, let's meet sometime for a rally. I'll send a text.
Hi. I'm a 3.5 and live close to Rancho Park courts, Mar Vista courts, etc. Want to hit?

Flash exfoliation microZone® (3 sessions for the price of 2)
|£90.00 £40.00
All microZone® treatments include a free Dermalogica Face Mapping® session.
Our Face Mapping® skin analysis takes all the guesswork out of getting results. Your Dermalogica Skin Therapist will diagnose your skin's concerns and prescribe a no-nonsense home care and treatment regimen to deliver your optimum skin health in your 14 unique zones. A professional consultation that reveals your skin's past, present… and healthiest future.
At the core of the Dermalogica philosophy is the belief that skin is constantly evolving. A trained and qualified skin therapist is needed to read skin's changing conditions and recommend a professional skin system to accommodate them. "Dermalogica is not based on old-fashioned skin typing, but on allowing the skin therapist to design a personalised system for each client, considering skin's daily condition and individual concerns. We don't believe that skin is either dry, oily or normal," explains Dermalogica founder Jane Wurwand. "Skin conditions are constantly changing due to a variety of factors, namely age, environment, hormones, and ethnicity. So it is out of date to label a skin dry for the rest of its life or even the rest of the month!" The notion of skin "types" is a thing of the past. As a result, the treatment or home care regimen that a client receives in February will likely be very different from the recommended for the same client in May. Combining the latest in skin analysis techniques with the proven results of Chinese Diagnosis, Dermalogica's revolutionary Face Mapping® skin analysis procedure provides the therapist with an objective view of the skin's condition, as well as an indication of the underlying health issues that might be affecting it.
Developed by The International Dermal Institute exclusively for Dermalogica, Face Mapping® allows a skin therapist to examine and analyse the client's skin in approximately 15 minutes. And it is literally an investment of a few minutes which can "save a client's skin," according to Wurwand. "Many women still select their skin care products the way they shop for makeup," comments Wurwand. "This is a mistake. They may buy a cleanser or a moisturiser because they like the fragrance, which is generally artificial, or because they like the packaging, which is of course, pure marketing! Face Mapping® was created to provide consumers with brand-neutral facts about the condition of their skin. Ideally, these facts will guide their purchases intelligently, regardless of what brand they choose."
Rather than analysing the skin in general terms, Face Mapping® is based upon the division of the face, neck and chest area into fourteen zones, each with its own set of unique problems and needs. The zones allow the therapist to examine, observe and make notations pertaining to every inch of the face (even behind the ears, where shampoo, cleansers or other product may accumulate, causing irritation!). The analysis integrates a visual exam under high magnification, tactile exam to locate hot areas (indicating congestion), milia forming beneath the skin but not yet visible, oily and dry spots and so on. A continual dialogue is held between the client and the skin care therapist on what is being looked for and what is found. The record allows both therapist and client to observe and respond effectively to changes in condition and to select the appropriate treatments and home use products. Only by covering the skin inch by inch can a true analysis of the skin's condition be obtained and a customised treatment and home care regime be prescribed.

Rigging Care & Maintenance
A lot of sailors feel that if their rig is at the cutting edge of technology, then it's a "sealed for life" system. Don't be fooled! Having a high-tech rigging system on your boat doesn't mean that it will look after itself. The whole rig needs to be inspected regularly, since very fine tolerances are involved and many of the lightweight materials used to improve a boat's performance are deceptively brittle.
Standing Rigging
Hauling your boat out of the water for the winter provides the perfect opportunity for inspecting standing rigging. The stays, shrouds, terminals and turnbuckles bear the total load of the mast and are under considerable strain at all times. It is suggested that the rig be inspected once a year to avoid a possible failure the following season. This can range from minor gear failure, which is inconvenient, to a dismasting, which can be dangerous. Normally, there will be warning signs before failure occurs. These take many forms, including broken wires, heavy stains or corrosion, or small cracks in the fittings. Unstepping the mast obviously helps greatly in the inspection process, but it's not absolutely necessary. Using a bosun's chair is another option, making sure that enough very experienced help is on the deck if you intend to do your own climbing. Also, always make sure that you use good line with ratings many times in excess of the load to lift yourself, a similar backup line and a harness that you can fasten to the mast and other safe holds every time you stop. Be very careful not to drop any tools or other gear when you are up. Not only will this likely damage the boat, it could severely injure someone on deck if they are hit. Warn people on deck about standing directly under you. If you are at all unsure of what to look for, your gear, or how to do it, we recommend that you call in a professional surveyor or rigger to do the inspection for you.
Unstepping the Mast
Unstepping the mast requires proper care and preparation in order to avoid unnecessary damage to hardware. If your boat is trailered, frequent unstepping is going to be needed. Set up a system of regular and safe procedures. If the mast is light enough and if it is safe to do so, hold it upright by hand while releasing the shrouds and stays. This avoids kinking, bending, crushing, nicking, or any other damage before the mast is lowered. It's a good idea to make up some small pads of carpet with pieces of shock cord to wrap around the mast before securing the halyards and running rigging. This helps prevent additional wear and tear, as well as keeps some tension in the rig to stop any flapping while trailering.
Never use wire or adhesive tape to secure anything! Wire can cut through rope and permanently mark metal fittings, while tape will leave most of its adhesive behind. Twine or rope is your best bet. The best place to store standing rigging is in a dry basement or attic, protected from the elements. Just make sure that everything is rinsed off with freshwater before it is stored. It may sound obvious, but check all running lights, wiring, and plugs and fitting before restepping the mast. After all, it's much easier to check these things while on the ground, rather than trying it swinging about in the breeze. Remember to always look for electric lines that your mast or boat may touch. Never assume that an electric line is insulated. Take extreme caution here, fatalities may result if you don't.
Many boats will require qualified professional help and even a crane to unstep a mast. Because of potential damage and danger to you and others, always err on the side of caution. Get qualified professional help if there's any question.
What to Look For
Even if you don't unstep your mast, you should still inspect your rigging. The turnbuckles and chainplates have to be angled in such a way that they are in a direct line with the shrouds and stays. If this is not the case, the chainplate can bend slightly, causing metal fatigue that could eventually lead to failure. Cracking and distortion on the deck around the chainplate could be caused by misalignment with the shrouds and turnbuckles. Alternatively, it could be evidence of a deck leak. If this is the case, it needs to be dealt with immediately, since water leaking around the chainplates normally enters the deck's core, leading to structural problems. If the leaking chainplate is attached to a wooden bulkhead beneath the deck, then the structural repercussions can be severe. Water seeping into the wood will ultimately cause rot, weakening the bulkhead to such an extent that it is no longer able to support the chainplate and, consequently, the heavy demands of the rig. Look for dark areas in the wood, delamination and a dull sound when the bulkhead is tapped. Consult a repair specialist if you suspect a problem. Also, water down in areas such as this, where there isn't oxygen, can cause crevice corrosion in stainless.
Caring for Stainless Steel
The best thing for stainless steel fittings is to make sure that they're always clean. When you're hosing down the decks after a day's sail, wash the rigging as well. Using a water-soluble detergent and a mixer nozzle makes the operation simple, and will help to clean areas under the standing rigging. If there are any unusual stains or corrosion spots, you should inspect them before, during, and after cleaning. They should come out with polishing. Use a soft cloth; under no circumstances should you use steel wool, since it leaves minute particles of metal embedded in the rigging which rust. Avoid all other abrasive scrubbing pads as well. If a heavy stain or rust spot cannot be removed by using a cloth and polish, replace the item immediately. If you're unsure of any suspicious corrosion, stress fractures or cracks in the terminals, contact a rigger immediately. If it's cracked, a fitting should be replaced immediately, before it fails and causes severe damage and, worse, hurts someone! For protection from chafing and snagging, use commercial spreader boots and turnbuckle covers. Again, unless you know what to look for, get a qualified professional to look. Rigging failure can be disastrous.
Plastic-coated cables, while they're a good idea, require special care. These wire lines with a hard coating of white vinyl are commonly used for lifelines. The cables are designed to be durable when exposed to saltwater. The better brands also feature ultraviolet stabilizers to prevent solar degradation. Despite this, they still require cleaning. You should never use chemical cleaners unless you are absolutely sure that they won't react with the plastic coating. Kerosene is also a bad idea, since it dilutes and spreads stains rather than removing them. Look for rust seeping through the coating. This is probably an indicator of crevice corrosion down inside. And this could result in the line parting, with someone going overboard.
Running Rigging
As with the modern high-tech standing rigging that is now the norm, today's running rigging systems often breed complacency. This is potentially dangerous. You should not forget that halyards, sheets, guys and vangs and other gear are often under tremendous pressure. They are subjected to extreme loads and used in applications where cyclic loading is necessary. For these reasons it is very important to inspect them regularly and to replace them if they look suspect. When trailering your boat, make sure that all of your lines are neatly coiled and secured against the high winds you'll create as you move down the highway. You should realize that whenever two different materials are joined, such as a wire-to-rope splice, there is a potential weakness. It is therefore necessary to inspect these splices whenever the opportunity arises. Try not to put your running rigging away soaking wet.
Blocks should also be looked at regularly. Look for slow-running sheaves, shackle elongation, rust, metal stretching and stress cracks in the metal or plastic cheeks. Cleaning your block thoroughly will prevent most problems. As with your running rigging, avoid leaving your blocks damp with saltwater. Using lubricants such as Teflon or dry silicone will help to keep dirt out of the mechanical workings. Note that tropical sailing conditions require more conscientious maintenance than the colder climates.
And Finally . . .
Following these basic maintenance guidelines should mean that your sailing is exciting for all the right reasons. Nobody likes gear failure and these suggestions are not a guarantee that it will be avoided. However, it should keep the chances of failure to a minimum, as well as helping your rig perform to its full potential. Happy sailing!

Alan Wake Reconsidered
I said that this year I would try and stretch myself a bit as a writer, and that's always a fraught endeavor when you're doing it on someone else's dime in front off a big audience. Fortunately, The Escapist came through as it always has in my career and gave me space to do a close, critical reading of Alan Wake in order to provide a revisionist view of the game.
It's the kind of thing that sounded awesome as I was pitching it and playing through the game for a second time, but was easy to start doubting once I began working on it. By the time I sent back my final draft, I was convinced that the response was going to be a collective eye-roll. I liked my analysis, and I thought it was pretty damned sound, but I know there are a lot of people who resist reading deeply into videogames, especially ones as flawed as Alan Wake.
Fortunately, the article got an incredibly warm reception both from the audience at The Escapist and my acquaintances on Twitter. No piece I've written this year has given me as much satisfaction, with several people writing to express how thoroughly my article changed their view of the game. There is not much more that I can ask of my work.
While I stuck pretty close to what is actually in the game, and I can readily defend just about every claim that I make in the article, I will admit that my interpretation still owes a great deal to my own experiences. I have written several times over the last year about the difficulty of balancing my emotional investment in my work with other aspects of my life, and how sometimes work seems to be crowding out the other things I love. Approaching Alan Wake with those fears weighing on my mind, it was not hard for me to make the connection between the game's plot and the conflicts I face as someone doing what I love for a living, dependent on steady stream of decent ideas and good words, and the pain I feel when they seem to dry up.
A few people raised their eyebrows at the connection I drew between the savior figure in Alan Wake, Thomas Zane, and Bioshock. I think the use of an old, porthole-covered diving bell is too heavily associated with Bioshock to be accidental, but I will readily grant that once again my own experiences inform my analysis here.
2007 changed everything for me, and Bioshock was a major part of that. It was the first time I really heard the kind of serious, intelligent discussion of videogames that I had long wanted to have, and Bioshock was the topic of discussion that year (as it has remained, in many ways). Bioshock didn't sequester itself from intellectual life the way so many games do. It was in dialogue with the books I read in college on history and political theory, and critics were receptive to that. There have been other games that could make you think, other games that didn't flinch from asking harder questions or engaging with their historical moment, but Bioshock was the first time that the stars aligned and serious critical discussion of a videogame entered the mainstream.
I don't think it's a coincidence that Alan Wake started production in 2005, Bioshock came out in 2007, and the character in the game has not been able to accomplish anything in two years. The game itself did not come out until 2010, and it's not hard to imagine that 2007 might have been the year when the Alan Wake project finally started to gather some momentum after lengthy delays and creative struggles. And from my own experience, I can see where Bioshock might have played a role in the story.
Anyway, I hope you go and read the piece. This kind of analysis isn't something I've done much, but I had an absolute blast with it.

Women today are an economic powerhouse. 98% of them are sole or joint decision-makers on daily banking, and 84% are fully or partially responsible for the family investment portfolio.* And women are increasingly single, living longer and in line to inherit wealth. Despite these strides, women often have different financial needs, circumstances and opportunities than men, which makes it especially important to start planning early and carefully. Consider these four key factors:
Yet these differences don't need to be obstacles. Simply taking these things into consideration when planning for your future can help set you on the right path.
No matter what your goals are—if you want to provide a college education for your children, start a business or just enjoy a rewarding retirement— we can help. Please contact us today to discuss how we can help you grow more than wealth.
Did you know that despite women playing a critical role in managing and transferring family wealth only 22% of women have a full wealth-transfer plan in place? At RBC Wealth Management, we recently undertook an extensive study of high net worth women to examine how they build their financial knowledge, manage their inheritance, prepare their financial affairs, and transfer their wealth to the next generation.

CLEMSON, S.C. --- The Lees-McRae cycling team saw four student-athletes earn top-five finishes over the weekend at the Clemson RR Course in Clemson, S.C.
The Saturday morning road race consisted of laps of a 20.8 mile loop with several miles of climbing, some sections over 20%, and included a kilometer uphill finish.
In Men B, Cody Phillips (Altadena, Calif.) and Gunnar Bergey (Ledrach, Pa.) were in a four-man breakaway that held off the pack that saw Phillips attack late to solo in for the win. Bergey was approximately one minute behind while Jose Avila (Miami, Fla.) won the pack sprint from the main chase group.
In Women A, junior Katherine Shields (Salisbury, N.C.) was in a four-woman break after the first lap. Shields and Brevard's Allison Arensman were side-by-side in the final 500 meters, but Shields attacked with 200 meters to go and held Arensman off for the victory.
In Men A, Furman's Charlie Hough won an intense race in the final 200 meter sprint. LMC's Matthew Zimmer (DeWitt, Iowa) finished fourth, trailing only a couple of minutes while the field of over 30 riders was shattered into pieces. Many of the Man A riders dropped out due to the difficulty of the course and being so far back from the leaders.
"This race loop is perfectly suited for many of our riders due to the long sustained climbs. Cody and all the B riders had excellent races, and Katherine's attack in the final 200 meters to win was exciting to see. She beat an outstanding rider in Arensman, which will boost her confidence for future races," praised Director of Cycling Tim Hall. " Matt did a great job grinding it out in the Men A race among guys who are more pure climbers, so that's a great sign seeing him race so well."
The Team Time Trial (TTT) was an out-and-back course totaling 6.6 miles. LMC fielded a Men A and Women A team. The difficulty in the TTT was the start time was just over an hour after having finished the road race, so quite a few riders throughout the conference did not start due to fatigue.
On the men's side, Avila, Zimmer, Bergy and Phillips finished third with a time of 17:13, 43 seconds behind Brevard, who won the event. Shields, Paige Robertson (Oakland, Calif.) and Hailey Sarausky (Littleton, N.H.) finished second with a time of 22:37 for the women.
"We originally planned two men teams, but the guys were shattered after the road race. We even altered our normal TTT starting lineup that included three B riders to race with Zimmer our A rider. This worked out best because the B riders had a little more rest ahead of the TTT," said Hall. "For this to be our first TTT of the season I feel both the men and women performed superbly, and as the season moves forward I know they'll get faster and more efficient."
The Bobcats performed well despite rainy and slick conditions on Sunday. In the Men B, Phillips attacked with four laps to go and formed a two-man break with Cumberland's Luke Caldwell. Both stayed away as Phillips attacked on the final lap to ride in solo for the victory. Caldwell grabbed second while Samuel Dobrozsi (Loveland, Ohio) finished third.
Shields finished third in the Women's A race.
"Overall it was a fantastic first weekend to our season. It's nice to get some victories under our belt despite being shorthanded without a full road team available. I was especially thrilled to see our Men B team have a great weekend because we need their strength on our elite A team as soon as possible," said Hall.
"We lack some depth, but there are 4 or 5 B riders on the cusp of an upgrade. Once they move up it will provide our elite team more tactical cards to play. Only half our elite women competed this weekend too, so when we have our full squad of 6 women that will make a huge difference as well."
LMC returns to action this weekend in Cullowhee, N.C.

Thank you for your interest in A Snapshot of Australia's Digital Future to 2050 report.
A world-first, the report reveals information and communications technology (ICT) enhanced with ubiquitous high-speed broadband is becoming Australia's new utility – as historic and game changing as electricity or telephony.
Written by Phil Ruthven, Founder and Chairman, IBISWorld, and commissioned by IBM, the report looks ahead of existing research to examine how Australia can harness this new utility to transform our lives, our cities and the way we interact.
The report rates all Australia's industry classes (509) against the impact of the new utility. Ruthven and his extended Industry Impact Panel assessed the prospects of the 509 classes of industry in the Australian economy over the next 40-50 years.
The report predicts that 46 per cent of Australia's current industry revenue will substantially benefit from the new utility: 23 per cent of the nation's revenue, will not function without this new utility, and a further 23 per cent of industry revenue will use it to drive step-changes in their business. 15 industry classes are likely to demise if they do not reinvent themselves to embrace the digital future; and some may simply be unable to do so.
The report finds by 2050, this new utility will generate around $1 trillion in revenue for Australia – almost eight times the $131 billion it generates today. Also, Australia will no longer be known for its dependency on the export of natural resources over the next half century. It will become known as much an exporter of services such as tourism, business services, health and education services. The export of tourism alone could match the 2012 mineral exports totalling around $175 billion by 2030.
Find out how these findings will help you and your organisation prepare for the digital future.

Glasses are sold out! Unfortunately, I won't be making more anytime soon. but you can buy my design and have it cut yourself and make any changes you'd like! I recommend making them for a whole group, it is far to expensive to just get 1-2 cut. If you buy the plans I have no problem with people selling these the same as I was.
I will release plans for Simon's star glasses soon. I just have to clean up the plans.

New York is a bustling metropolis of epic proportions and epitomises American culture. Want it bigger and better? You got it! Stay in a stylish and modern penthouse or loft with views of the city skyline, or perhaps a boho chic apartment downtown. And if shopping's your bag, the retail experience here is like no other in the world. From sleek department stores, such as Bloomingdale's and Macy's, to eclectic flea markets and dusty back-street bookstores, you'll be spoilt for choice.
After a day spent shopping in the city, the choice of places to eat out is, as you'd expect, vast. Choose a relaxed diner for a classic burger, fries and a shake or sample some seasonal and locally sourced food at a vegan restaurant. If you're too busy to stop, grab a bite from a gourmet food truck selling sensational soul food or an iconic hot dog with mustard and ketchup. For a extravagant, michelin-star dining experience, head to Williamsburg. Or for a taste of little Italy, dine out in Belmont. In fact, in New York you can find just about any cuisine in the world done well. Very well.
There is so much to see and do in New York you'll understand why it's often called 'the city that never sleeps'. One of the best ways to learn more about the major attractions, such as the Statue of Liberty and the Empire State Building and Times Square is to join a guided tour. There are some more specialist tours too, such as the Sex and the City tour and the Sopranos tour where you can visit some of the locations in the shows. Don't forget to get a ticket to a Broadway show while you're there, it's an experience not to be missed. From classic shows like Chicago to the thrilling Cirque du Soleil, these sensational shows are some of the best in the world. To get your culture fix, start by visiting the Metropolitan Museum of Art which is home to more than two million works of art spanning five thousand years.

Rookie Nneka Ogwumike scored a career-high 30 points and had 11 rebounds to help the Sparks beat the Chicago Sky 87-77 on Thursday night at Staples Center.
DeLisha Milton-Jones added 19 points for the Sparks. Coming off a 1-4 trip, the Sparks improved to 13-1 at home and 21-10 overall. They moved two games ahead of San Antonio for second place in the Western Conference with four games remaining. The top two teams get home-court advantage in the playoffs.
Ogwumike scored 16 points in the second half and helped turn away a late Chicago rally.
"She was super," Sparks coach Carol Ross said. "She kept battling in the paint. She created a lot of plays just by being aggressive. She was clearly the sparkiest of Sparks tonight."
Swin Cash scored 19 of her 23 points in the second half for Chicago, and Epiphanny Prince had 19. The Sky (12-18) fell a game behind New York for the fourth and final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. Sky center Sylvia Fowles, an Olympian and the WNBA's second-leading rebounder, missed her third straight game because of a strained calf.
Ogwumike gave the Sparks a 12-point lead when she put back a missed shot with 3:20 remaining, but Chicago put together a 10-2 run to trim the Sparks' lead to 81-77 on Cash's 3-pointer with 51.2 seconds to go.
The teams exchanged turnovers and Chicago committed two fouls. Kristi Toliver made a free throw, and Ogwumike took an inbound pass from Milton-Jones for an uncontested layup with 28.9 seconds left as the Sparks held on for their seventh consecutive win at home.
The Sparks managed to win despite a rough night for leading scorer Toliver, who was 0 for 5 from the field and finished with six points.
"We just came off a 1-4 road trip," Ogwumike said. "We knew this game was essential, and also learning from the win was really important, too.
"I think pushing the ball was working well for us, and playing outside of ourselves, because a lot of times we're kind of stagnant and we don't play past the first option. I think by moving the ball . that really added to our success tonight."
Cash had a 14-point third quarter as Chicago closed to 61-57. Prince scored six in the third, including a long jumper and a pair of free throws.
Chicago was coming off a win against first-place Minnesota.
"We're in the playoff race and this one hurts," Cash said.
Ogwumike scored 14 and Milton-Jones added 11 to lead the Sparks a 44-35 halftime lead.
Chicago coach Pokey Chatman acknowledged that her team has to play a different way without Fowles inside to defend against players like Ogwumike.
"She's a tremendous player," Chatman said of Ogwumike. "She has those volleyball hops. She runs the floor. She gets 10 from the (free-throw) line. She gets six on the putbacks. She gets four because she gets up over somebody. She's not a rookie anymore."
The Sky shot 35 percent in the first half, including 0 for 8 from 3-point range, and Cash was held to one basket, a layup before the buzzer.
Ogwumike and Milton-Jones combined for 17 of the Sparks' 27 first-quarter points. Ogwumike began her night with a three-point play and scored an uncontested layup for a 22-10 lead.

Shane Prince close to realizing NHL dream
Before anything else you have to love this anecdote told by Prince's father:
When his father, Dan, worked B-shift hours from 3 to 11 p.m., Shane would often wait up.
Late-night ice awaited at Scottsville Ice Arena.
"He'd have his bag packed and be waiting at the door when I got home so we could go skate," Dan remembers. "There'd be times I'd get home and his bag would be there and he'd be in bed, so I'd try to sneak into bed.
"But he'd hear me and come flying out of his room, 'Aren't we going to the rink?'"
Those late night skates have paid off as Prince is set to go quickly in day 2 if he doesn't get snatched late in the first round.
"He's going to go somewhere in the first 40 to 45 guys," said Kevin Devine, director of amateur scouting for the Buffalo Sabres.
The story goes on to offer insight as to what puts Prince in that esteemed pack of players.
He's strong for his size, as he proved during the NHL scouting combine earlier this month when the top 100 prospects convened in Toronto.
In the bench press, only five players were able to lift the 150 pounds more times than Prince in the allotted time. He did 11 reps. The best was 13. He was 10th in pushups, and in the top 10 in upper-body push strength, upper-body pull strength and hand-eye coordination.
"He's not the tallest guy but he's got a solid frame," Devine said. "He doesn't have any fear going into the corners first."
He's always been fearless and always been able to dipsy-doodle with the puck, even as a kid.
"His puck skills, his hands and puck-handling, were as good as anyone and better than nearly everyone," Montagna said. "He could do things with the puck that 99.9 percent of the others couldn't do."
That hasn't changed. If you want proof, just look at his 63 assists this season. Only three other OHL players set up more goals.
"I've always liked to have the puck on my stick," said Prince, who graduated from Spencerport High School in 2010. "I enjoy setting up plays."

Staff writer
Ralph and Phyllis Kreutziger of Marion returned late Saturday from an eight-day service trip to Baltimore, Md., as Red Cross volunteers. They served at an emergency shelter set up at the University of Maryland for victims of Hurricane Sandy.
They received the call shortly before noon Oct. 27 and by 5 p.m. were leaving Wichita on a plane ticket that was "one way only." They were committed for up to two weeks but did not know when they would return home.
They hastily packed and set out for Wichita. Before going to the airport, they stopped at the Red Cross headquarters in Wichita and picked up the necessary paperwork.
Their airfare and lodging was provided through the Red Cross. They stayed in a motel and worked at the shelter at night.
Wearing identification cards around their necks, the two were charged with preparing the shelter, a large gymnasium, for occupancy. They set up registration tables, and prepared cots, supplying each one with blankets. The cots were grouped into separate sections for men, women, families, and disabled people. A mobile trailer was on hand to handle pets.
Some people arrived at the shelter early the next Monday evening before the storm hit. Others arrived after their houses were damaged or they lost electricity. School had been canceled for the next day, and some college students who couldn't get home came to the shelter. There were no pets.
Phyllis Kreutziger was walking among the cots when the storm hit.
"When I was patrolling, it sounded ferocious outside and the gym doors were shaking," she said.
When they returned to their motel the next morning, there was no electricity and no running water. The motel provided light sticks for guests in hallways and rooms.
The Kreutzigers slept some and then returned to the shelter, where they served ready-to-eat meals and snacks and watched over the residents.
On the morning of Oct. 31, people began to leave. By noon, the shelter was closed.
At that point, Ralph and Phyllis switched to disaster assessment.
"We like to do that," Phyllis said. "We have done that in the past."
They are suited for the job. With his background in construction, Ralph is an expert at assessing and describing structural damage. Phyllis excels at putting it down on paper.
Equipped with a cell phone and report forms, they headed out to canvass several counties. They talked to people and filed reports. They saw a few trees down and some minor flooding.
"As luck would have it, there was not much damage in the area," Ralph said.
By Saturday, their job was complete. They were offered the choice to return home or to go to New York or New Jersey. If they went on, they would be required to commit to another two weeks. Because of commitments back home, they decided to come back to Marion, arriving late Saturday.
"It's neat to get to know a variety of people," Phyllis said. "It was a very good experience for us."
A history of volunteering
The Kreutzigers are no strangers to volunteer service. They have participated in six mission trips, and this was the seventh national disaster in which they have been involved.
They joined the Red Cross shortly after Hurricane Katrina hit in 2005. On a trip to Hutchinson, they dropped off a check at the Hutchinson American Red Cross office. In a departing statement, Ralph said, "Let us know if there is anything else we can do."
The couple was drafted on the spot. They underwent training in all facets of Red Cross service and then chose the one in which they were interested, service associates.
"This is really good for retired people," Ralph said.
The American Red Cross collected nearly $35 million in donations by Friday, and another $23 million was raised in a telethon Friday night. The Red Cross and other organizations were operating 123 emergency shelters and were helping to distribute 60 trailersful of relief supplies and an additional 80,000 blankets. The Red Cross was serving hot meals at fixed sites in New York and New Jersey.
Hurricane Sandy is projected to be the biggest Red Cross response in the U.S. in the past five years, with costs in the tens of millions of dollars.
To donate, visit http://www.redcross.org. Call 1 (800) 733-2767, or text the word REDCROSS to 90999 to make a $10 donation.

First ingredient is a named meat product
Insufficient meat content, low quality grains, controversial filler
The first ingredient in this food is a named meat ingredient, in meal form. It is the sole meat product in the food.
The remaining ingredients are of lower quality. Wheat is believed by many to be the leading cause of food allergies in dog food. In flour form (in dog food, commonly a byproduct of human food production) this is a grain fragment and primarily filler. As wheat shorts this consists of "fine particles of wheat bran, wheat germ, wheat flour, and the offal from the tail of the mill. This product must be obtained in the usual process of commercial milling and must contain not more than 7% crude fiber". In simpler terms, the floor sweepings from processing of wheat for flour and other products. Fat is the third ingredient, and we note that research at Purdue University has identified fat in the top four ingredients of dry food as a factor increasing the risk of bloat in large breed dogs. Smaller breeds are untested.
Corn is a further low quality grain that is difficult to digest and of limited value in dog food. It is also commonly associtated with food allergies. Corn gluten meal is that part of the commercial shelled corn that remains after the extraction of the larger portion of the starch, gluten, and term by the processes employed in the wet milling manufacture of corn starch or syrup. In plain English, the remains of corn after most of the nutritious bits have been removed.
Beet pulp is a controversial filler. It is a by-product, being dried residue from sugar beets which has been cleaned and extracted in the process of manufacturing sugar. It is a controversial ingredient in dog food, claimed by some manufacturers to be a good source of fibre, and derided by others as an ingredient added to slow down the transition of rancid animal fats and causing stress to kidney and liver in the process. We note that beet pulp is an ingredient that commonly causes problems for dogs, including allergies and ear infections, and prefer not to see it used in dog food. There are less controversial products around if additional fibre is required.
We note the food has added vitamins and minerals, but no information is given about these and may include synthetics.

By Scott Behrens and Ben Toews
Ben and I have been grinding away on slides and code in preparation of our talk at DefCon 20. Without letting all of the cats out of the bag, I wanted to take a second to provide a little more context into our talk and research before we present our new tools at the conference.
BBQSQL is a SQL injection framework specifically designed to be hyper fast, database agnostic, easy to setup, and easy to modify. The tool is extremely effective at exploiting a particular type of SQL injection flaw known as blind/semi-blind SQL injection. When doing application security assessments we often uncover SQL vulnerabilities that are difficult to exploit. While current tools have an enormous amount of capability, when you can't seem to get them to work you are out of luck. We frequently end up writing custom scripts to help aid in the tricky data extraction, but a lot of time is invested in developing, testing and debugging these scripts.
BBQSQL helps automate the process of exploiting tricky blind SQL injection. We developed a very easy UI to help you setup all the requirements for your particular vulnerability and provide real time configuration checking to make sure your data looks right. On top of being easy to use, it was designed using the event driven concurrency provided by Python's gevent. This allows BBQSQL to run much faster than existing single/multithreaded applications.
We will be going into greater detail on the benefits of this kind of concurrency during the talk. We also will talk a bit about character frequency analysis and some ways BBQSQL uses it to extract data faster. Will be doing a demo too to show you how to use the UI as well as import and export attack configs. Here are a few screenshots to get you excited!
If you come see the talk, we would love to hear your thoughts!

I have seen unfavorable postings in the past regarding NS 83820 > cards, but our results are even worse than expected. I did some extremely rough tests with a GB of data and dd+netcat over tcp (probably really inaccurate :), but with 4000 byte MTU (jumbo frames) was able to get 70MB/s (560Mbps) between 2 NS83820-based cards on two Tyan Tiger 2460s w/dual 1.333GHz Tbirds (when I was testing the boards with Tbirds to see if they would work at all -- which they did, for the month I had that test setup running :) One card was a 32 bit addtron the other was a 64 bit puredata card in a 64 bit slot on the 2460. It was in transferring from the puredata to the addtron that I got 70MB/s (560Mbps). The addtron was not nearly as good at sending out data as the puredata and I only achieved about 25MB/s (200Mbps) to the puredata. (I didnt have 2 puredatas to play with unfortunately at the time). Addtrons seem to be the worst of the 83820 based cards. I have a few 32 and 64 bit ARKs (they are the *EXACT* same design as the Dlink 82830 cards, down to the same exact component model numbers), and had some DLinks, SMC and puredatas that were on loan to me from Ben LaHaise at redhat, who is behind the NS83820 driver. (I lent him my crappy addtrons so he could tell me whats wrong with them :) Didnt get to run as many tests as I wanted however (now I have only my own ARKs and a few addtrons Im going to return soon). Ill see if I can get Ben to run some Netpipe stats for me/us that I can post to the list later. Interestingly enough, with some massively large help from Phil (the intermezzo guy), I got the addtron card driver supplied by addtron to finally compile (Phil grumbled about 'using compilation standards from 10 years ago' as he tackled nasty makefiles and a nest of incorrectly reference kernel headers and lots of missing symbol problems that were beyond me). The addtron driver actually ran faster for the addtron cards in receiving, which is how I got the 70MB/s figure - with the NS83820 driver I was getting only 56MB/s. Ben LaHaise said "Oh, I know why that is!" but didnt elaborate - "I'll be fixing that soon". Hope he finds the time for all us beowulfers. :) One problem that Ben LaHaise mentioned was that the 2460 "is missing a pulldown resistor on some boards, so some cards wont function correctly in a 32 bit or 64 bit slot". Not sure if he was referring to 64 bit card in 32 slot or 32 in 64 slot. (I'll get more details on this from him.) Dont know if he's played with the Tyan Tiger 2466MPX board yet though to see if it also has this problem. I will try to get out netpipe and run some tests to see how fast things run on the ARKs in different slots (32/33 or 64/66 on the 2466 boards we got around). I seem to recall the ARKs, with 1500 mtu, getting about 30MB/s (240Mbps) but about 50+ (400Mbps) with jumbo frames (mtu 4000). I'll really have to get some omre solid numbers out of netpipe to be sure. Oh - to avoid any switch latency problems and the like, I had the cards plugged directly into one another with regular cables (since GBE doenst have a 'cross over cable' concept). /kc -- Ken Chase, math at velocet.ca * Velocet Communications Inc. * Toronto, CANADA

Lord of the Wind 2016 - Day 1
Situated on the western coastline of the crystal-blue waters of the Bay of Palms, where the sapphire Sea of Cortez meets desert and mountains, Los Barriles hosts one of the most exciting events in Baja Peninsula and the biggest kitesurfing event in Mexico – The Lord of the Wind. The World-class competition and stunning location, make this a "must do" event.
The East Cape of Baja is renowned worldwide for its warm waters, consistent winds and great beaches – attracting a host of top riders intending to add their name to the list of champions winning this iconic event.
Lord of the Wind is a sensational season opener, which sets the pegging for the year ahead, and forces even the world's top riders to raise their game to hold any hope of securing a podium finish.
One of the world's best riders, and reigning Lord of the Wind Champion, Julien Kerneur of France has returned to defend his title and inevitably will offer up some of the most high octane racing action around.
To add even more fuel to the fire, female front-runner and local hero Cynthia Brown is in the line-up and plans to knock-out a strong performance to retain her Lady of the wind title.
The event is also the International Kiteboarding Association Kite Foil North American Championship, so the Kite Hydrofoil course featured some fierce competition too, as all athletes tried to establish themselves on race day 1.
After a superb opening day of races, riders enjoyed some rest and soaked up the laid-back atmosphere and warm hospitality shoreside. We'll be back with more action from the thrilling world of kite surfing - so stay with us!

Ravens linebacker Paul Kruger frequently wears his jersey tight and pulled up high, presumably because it makes it harder for opposing offensive linemen to grab it. But now that habit has proved costly for Kruger.
The NFL has fined Kruger $5,000 for violating the league's uniform rules with the way he's wearing his jersey, which exposes the back flap of his shoulder pads. Kruger said he was surprised that the fine letter came without anyone ever telling him that there was anything wrong with the way he wears his jersey.
"I'm going to appeal it," Kruger told the Baltimore Sun. "I didn't even get a warning about it. They just fined me."
Kruger committed a more serious violation of the NFL's rules on Sunday when he picked up a roughing the passer penalty for a hit on Steelers quarterback Charlie Batch, setting up the Steelers in field goal range. Kruger said the NFL hasn't told him whether he'll be fined for that hit.

Every group of Clones is going to have a field Commander I'm guessing... That's also my only logical conclusion on what the actual title "Commander" means. It's a rank unique to Star Wars as Commanders aren't usually marching in with the men in Earth combat terms, not like Cody did anyway, so I've been grappling with the title "Commander" being used in the Clone military for a long time now (Since AOTC).
Fox cannot possibly be second in command in my mind. Sergeants don't run the show unless everyone's dead, so if Appo is a legion Commander ("Field Commander", whatever), I believe Fox must be at the least a Captain (by the generally accepted EU guide to Clone ranks). Sergeants just don't lead large groups like that unless they work their way to a higher rank due to casualties within the ranks, field promotion for exemplary work, etc...
I figure there's not much structure for troopers other than they have a Sergeant of perhaps varying degrees, but the build up to the rank of Sergeant (IMO) is non-existant and till you gain that higher level below officers you are just a "Trooper". It simplifies things at least.
With the color coding done away with between the early war and the late war, I figure some means of identification of rank was conceived otherwise.
Some lower ranks within a Clone Legion (I'm guessing Legions are the largest single military grouping in the Star Wars Galaxy) maybe are allowed to adjust their armor by the whims of their CO or Jedi General? Perhaps all Clones are allowed to modify their gear even, further setting them apart from others? Lots of room for debate and thought there.
To me the cold/mountain gear is the "Snow"Trooper gear and I don't buy there actually being "Snow"Troopers that are ready at a moment's notice to drop onto icy planets... just in case. It's easier in my mind to assume that Stormtroopers have clothes for cold weather assaults, and that the Standard Trooper armor is used for other climates and the pack is modular to be adapted with the appropriate gear for the appropriate world.
The Pauldron then is a FAST means of identifying ranking individuals on the field. The Orange Pauldron isn't indicative of any specific rank, and could indicate anything from a Lieutenant up to a General in armor even. The other colors are a little more believable though for what they were listed, and there's lotsa EU designs I dig too.

LOS ANGELES — Decked out in a sharp business suit, Ronda Rousey looked to be all business on Tuesday.
But the Ultimate Fighting Championship's women's bantamweight champion and archrival Miesha Tate, as per usual with the adversaries, got personal as the UFC's World Tour 2013 touched down in Los Angeles in front of a gathering of media and fans on Tuesday morning at Club Nokia.
"How is it not a rivalry?" said Rousey (7-0), the Glendale Fighting Club-trained champ who will face off once more with Tate (13-4) on Dec. 28 at UFC 168 in Las Vegas live on pay-per-view. "I have everything that she wants in life."
The centerpiece, of course, as to what Tate wants and Rousey does not want to relinquish is the UFC title, which Rousey will defend for the second time after she was crowned champion before successfully defending her belt on Feb. 23 against Liz Carmouche at UFC 157 in the organization's first-ever women's fight. Rousey previously bested Tate on March 3, 2012 to wrestle away the Strikeforce women's bantamweight strap.
"She has a lot of things that I want, but that's not what makes it a rivalry for me," said Tate, who was on the receiving end of a Rousey middle finger on two occasions on stage Tuesday. "It's really more of a personal thing."
Tuesday was the second day of the five-day, 11-city UFC World Tour, which is no doubt the organization's most ambitious media tour ever, serving to build up four pay-per-views that will conclude the calendar year.
It began Monday with stops in Las Vegas and the Bay Area and will continue through New York, Montreal, Houston, Sweden, Dallas, Chicago, London and Rio de Janeiro. Tuesday's L.A. stop and Wednesday's New York presser at the Beacon Theatre are the only two featuring the entire eight-fighter cavalcade. After Wednesday, Rousey and Tate will conclude their tour on Friday in Chicago.
In addition to Tate and Rousey, heavyweight champion Cain Velasquez, light heavyweight titlist Jon Jones and welterweight kingpin Georges St. Pierre were on hand, along with their respective opponents, Junior dos Santos, Alexander Gustafsson and Johny Hendricks.
"This is a special time. We've never had this many huge, great fights to end the year," said UFC President Dana White of the impetus for the tour. "It was a unique opportunity, something we've never done before."
Rousey and Tate are no strangers to harsh words fueling the build-up to their fight, as the aforementioned Strikeforce showdown was marked by plenty of contentious talk. For Tate, at least, therein lie the roots of a rivalry that, for all intents and purposes, has only grown stronger.
"It's the level of disrespect that I feel like I've always felt and that's what makes it personal," Tate said. "I've faced a lot of people, I would say everyone, but Ronda, that I don't have any beef with.
"She just has a way of irritating me and I think vice versa, so I think that's where the rivalry thing comes in."
Further fueling the rivalry fire was the recently concluded tapings for the upcoming season of "The Ultimate Fighter," in which Rousey and Tate were opposing coaches. After six straight weeks of seeing each other on a daily basis, the heated rivals are now engaging on a tour in which they must interact yet again.
Hence, when White was asked what it was like having a quartet of future opponents engaging with each other, he said there was no reason to keep anybody apart except for one set of combatants.
"Just Ronda and Miesha," White said.
Roughly 15 minutes into Tuesday's press conference, with many in the crowd yelling for reporters to, "Ask Ronda a question," the former two-time United States Olympian fielded her first question as to how the two interact around each other.
"We've been involved with each other long enough where we kind of have a rhythm of how we deal with each other," Rousey said. "She mostly just doesn't look me in the eye or talk to me, a lot of the time. Which I like to relate to Mike Tyson's speech about seeing the chink in the armor when you won't look an opponent in the eye. That's pretty much how it goes all the time."
"Like I said, just these two," White interjected amid the crowd's oohs and ahhs.
Added Jones: "What do you got to say about that Miesha?"
"That's not what happened backstage," Tate replied.
As the rivalry has been a watershed moment in the growth of women's mixed martial arts, aiding mightily in bringing it to its current high, one question came to be as to whether, years down the road, the rivalry would be put to the side, enabling the combatants to focus on history rather than histrionics.
"I highly doubt it," Tate said.
Following the media's questions, White had a microphone passed around for fan questions. The first to ask Rousey a question was a little girl wondering if the champion would look to end her bout with Tate just as she did their first — and every other MMA fight she's had — by applying her signature armbar.
"If I see it, if it happens to be there, then I'll go for it. I like to see everything ... not just focus on one thing," said Rousey, an Olympic bronze medalist in judo who's used the armbar to submit all seven of her opponents inside of the first round. "I keep my mind open and if it's there, I try it."
One final question was for Tate, who was asked why she wouldn't look Rousey in the eye.
"I'll look her in the eyes right now," Tate said. "Where you at Ronda?"
As Tate looked down the two tables, Rousey met her stare with a middle finger.
It was the first of two occasions on the day in which Rousey would toss the bird in her opponent's direction, the next coming after they posed for a staredown.
While Rousey and Tate were at odds as usual, the former was one of the last fighters remaining, along with Hendricks, signing autographs and posing for pictures before she was finally whisked away by UFC personnel.
Following the whirlwind world tour, Rousey is set to leave for filming of "The Expendables 3," where she said she'll have many of her camp members so as not to impede her training.
Along the way, "The Ultimate Fighter 18" is set to premiere on Sept. 4 on Fox Sports 1, serving to further build up the anticipation for Rousey and Tate's Dec. 28 showdown.
Until then, there's likely to be plenty more middle fingers and smack talk tossed about.
Said White of Rousey: "She's not afraid to tell you what she thinks and she's not afraid to tell you what she thinks of Tate."

Royals hang on vs. Texas, hold onto slim division lead
KANSAS CITY -- Right when the Royals needed them, the fearsome threesome of their bullpen came through.
Kelvin Herrera, Wade Davis and Greg Holland were at their best as they delivered a victory to Kansas City and starter Yordano Ventura over the Texas Rangers, 4-3, on Monday night.View Full Game Coverage
KANSAS CITY -- Right when the Royals needed them, the fearsome threesome of their bullpen came through.
Kelvin Herrera, Wade Davis and Greg Holland were at their best as they delivered a victory to Kansas City and starter Yordano Ventura over the Texas Rangers, 4-3, on Monday night.View Full Game Coverage
Salvador Perez did most of the offensive heavy work with three RBIs as he belted three hits including a two-run homer and a double.
The Royals felt like they needed this one after a three-game dry spell and one very wet suspended game. The win enabled them to keep a half-game lead over Detroit in the American League Central.
"You're always happy to bounce back," manager Ned Yost said. "I wish I didn't have to use Herrera, Wade and Holly. But all three of them came up today and even before we ask them, they said, 'We're good to go.'"
The back end of the bullpen has been worked hard of late. Herrera and Davis each have appeared in five of the last seven games, Holland in five of the last six.
"We're grinding it out. We'll just keep grinding," Davis said. "On a game like this you have to go out there and pitch -- it's a one-run game."
That's not the way it started out. The Royals gave Ventura a four-run cushion by the fourth inning against right-hander Colby Lewis.
• First inning: Alex Gordon singled and scored on Perez's double to right center.
• Third inning: Gordon walked and Perez homered into the left-field bullpen.
• Fourth inning: Newcomer Carlos Peguero doubled and scored on Mike Moustakas' opposite-field single.
Oddly enough, Yost packed his lineup with left-handed hitters against Lewis, but it was the right-handed Perez who did the most damage. Perez saw Lewis for the first time 10 days ago and went 0-for-3.
"I faced him in Texas and I tried to stay in my approach, let the ball come in to me and put a good swing on the ball," Perez said.
Lewis was perturbed about the pitch he gave Perez for the home run.
"I think I could of hit that 2-0 fastball out that Perez hit," Lewis said. "It's right over the middle, 2-0. I'd be geared up for a 2-0 heater too."
The homer was Perez's 16th this season and, on the current homestand, he's 12-for-34 (.353) with seven RBIs.
Ventura, who missed a start with a sore back, had no physical problems in his 6 1/3 innings as he won his 11th game.
"I felt good, I had a good rhythm getting through the hitters until the last couple of innings. I was very happy to be back and pitch well enough to win," he said.
"I felt as good as I did before. The days of rest were obviously very good for me, for my arm as well as my back."
Ventura gave up a run in the sixth and then ran into more trouble in the seventh.
Three hits -- Adam Rosales' double and singles by Tomas Telis and Michael Choice, with an error mixed in -- gave the Rangers two runs in the seventh and the Royals' lead was one run.
That was 99 pitches and enough for Ventura.
"I gave him every pitch I could give him," Yost said. "I'm not going to let him load the bases in a one-run game and then bring in Kelvin."
Herrera faced Leonys Martin, who hit a bouncer back toward the mound that Herrera almost, but not quite, deflected with his glove. The ball got through to shortstop Alcides Escobar, who started a swift and smooth inning-ending double play.
"He's a great defender," Herrera said. "I got that ground ball and put it in the right hands."
Davis whizzed through a perfect eighth, aided by a diving stop by Moustaksas at third base -- and now has 27 2/3 consecutive scoreless innings. (Herrera is right behind him with 26 1/3.)
So in came Holland, just off his unpleasant, two-run 10th inning in Sunday night's suspended game with Cleveland. He'd made 27 tough pitches, too, and the Royals wanted to give him a break but he told them he was OK.
"It's a fine line. If you can go, you can go, but you've also got to be smart about it," Holland said.
Obviously he was just fine. He struck out two batters, got a ground ball and his 41st save was in his back pocket.
And just in time. Rain began to fall as the Royals wrapped up their 75th victory.
"That's three outstanding arms," said Rangers manager Ron Washington. "Might be three of the best arms in baseball, I don't know."

Story highlights
- Prosecutor: The suspect shot TSA officer, went away, came back, shot officer again
- He wrote that he wanted to "instill fear" in TSA employees, FBI official says
- FBI: 5 people total were shot, including 3 TSA officers and a civilian
- The suspect is "unresponsive," hasn't answered questions, FBI official adds
The suspected Los Angeles International Airport gunman walked up to a security checkpoint, shot a TSA officer "at point-blank range," went up an escalator, then came back down to shoot his victim again, a federal prosecutor said Saturday.
That TSA officer, Gerardo Hernandez, died of his wounds.
The man who shot him, authorities say, is 23-year-old Paul Anthony Ciancia. A federal complaint was filed Saturday afternoon charging Ciancia with two felony offenses -- murder of a federal officer and commission of violence in an international airport, said U.S. Attorney Andre Birotte Jr..
If convicted, Ciancia would face life in prison without parole or the death penalty, according to the federal prosecutor. The U.S. attorney general would decide if a death sentence would be sought.
According to Birotte, the suspect walked up to a TSA checkpoint in Terminal 3 around 9:20 a.m., pulled a "Smith & Wesson .223-caliber M&P15 assault rifle out of his bag and filed multiple rounds" at the uniformed officer.
He walked away, went up an escalator, then came back down to fire more shots at Hernandez, Birotte said. The gunman then proceeded through the terminal -- hitting two other uniformed TSA officers and a civilian passenger with gunfire, said Birotte -- before he was shot and wounded himself by airport police.
By then, people were sprinting for their lives -- down escalators, out emergency exit doors, cramming into bathrooms and first-class lounges, anything to get out of the line of fire.
Two people suffered what FBI Special Agent in Charge David Bowdich called "evasion injuries," getting hurt as they were trying to avoid being shot.
Ciancia is being treated in a hospital after being shot himself by airport police, Bowdich said late Saturday afternoon.
"He is unresponsive," the FBI official added, "and we are unable to interview him, as of today."
'Conscious decision to kill ... TSA employees'
So how did he ended up handcuffed to a gurney, leaving behind five magazines of ammunition that Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti said "could have literally killed everyone in that terminal"?
Some clues have emerged -- including that authorities found he'd been carrying a rant that appeared to refer to the New World Order plus anti-government claims, a federal law enforcement official said Saturday.
It's not clear what gave rise to the references, and federal investigators have found no known links to known groups or anything in the suspect's background to explain them. The New World Order is generally considered to be a conspiracy theory in which people suspect a group of elites is conspiring to form an authoritarian, one-world government.
Bowdich, from the FBI, said the handwritten note indicated the suspect made "a conscious decision to kill multiple TSA employees."
"He addressed them (TSA officers) at one point in the letter," Bowdich said, "and stated that he wanted to 'instill fear into their traitorous minds.'"
In his diatribe, the gunman claimed the TSA treats Americans like terrorists even though all people aren't equally dangerous, a U.S. law enforcement official said.
And near the end of the note was a derogatory reference to Janet Napolitano, the former head of the Department of Homeland Security that includes TSA, according to the same official.
Another clue to the state of mind of Ciancia -- who was dropped off at the airport by a roommate who, investigators believe, didn't know about any shooting plot, the law enforcement official said -- came from his family. He lives in Los Angeles, but his family back in New Jersey were concerned about him, said Allen Cummings, chief of police in Pennsville, New Jersey.
Ciancia's family became concerned in recent days after he sent his brother and father "angry, rambling" texts venting about the government, living in Los Angeles and his unhappiness generally, an intelligence source said.
But despite the unsettling text, Ciancia's family was still surprised by Friday's events.
"They're upset," Cummings told reporters. "I mean this is a shock to them, it's a shock to our community."
Widow of victim: 'I am truly devastated'
Ciancia is being treated for his injuries at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center, according to an intelligence source. So, too, is one other person -- the hospital said Saturday one person is in critical condition and the other is in fair, without specifying their names, and noted another person was treated and released Friday.
Two other patients were transported to Harbor-UCLA Medical Center in Torrance, said David Klurad, a trauma surgeon there.
Klurad described one as a "middle-aged" person with minor injuries from being shot in the shoulder. The other had no signs of life when he arrived at the hospital, the surgeon said Friday.
It's presumed that fatality is Gerardo Hernandez, the lone person killed in the shooting according to authorities.
He's the first TSA officer to die in the line of duty since the agency was founded in 2001. The late officer was working as a travel document checker at the time, TSA workers' union and federal sources say.
Gannon said airport police quickly applied first aid to Hernandez, put him in a wheelchair, then rolled him to an ambulance.
"They were absolutely committed to trying to save a life," the police chief said. "Unfortunately, that didn't work out."
Gerardo Hernandez would have turned 40 next week. His widow described him as a "wonderful husband, father, brother, son and friend."
"I am truly devastated," his widow said.
The chaos also affected more than 165,000 passengers on hundreds of flights, as the airport shut down for hours. By early Saturday afternoon, all of it -- including Terminal 3 -- was reopened.
By then, security was out in force -- an "enhanced deployment" that included Los Angeles police department officers and air marshals in addition to airport police, according to Airport police Chief Patrick Gannon. Some were uniformed, others were undercover.
"For today and for the foreseeable future, we'll continue (to have) a very high profile at the curbs and anywhere in those ticketing areas and anywhere on our campuses," the chief said.
Questions about recent repositioning of airport police
The shooting has stirred questions about a recent repositioning of airport police officers around what is known as LAX.
Gannon explained Saturday that, in the past year, he decided to move officers from behind a TSA security checkpoint to in front of it, where they also took on "greater responsibilities" such as monitoring both the arrival and departure floors of the terminal.
"The threat ... at the airport does not exist behind security at that podium, the threat exists from the curbline on," Gannon said. "So ... we have our people stationed throughout the airport.
"That particular individual" -- he added, referring to the nearest police officer to the site of Friday's initial shooting -- "was just moved to the front part of the airport."
At the same time, Gannon acknowledged the trade-off of having the officers roam a larger area, rather than sit at a checkpoint.
"So are they going to be in the exact same (place), exactly where I'd hoped they would be? No," he said. "It didn't happen in this particular case."
Was there anything more behind the shift? A law enforcement source told CNN on Saturday that airport police officers had complained to their union about being "bored with the assignment" of being stationed behind the TSA checkpoint.
Concurrently, TSA management complained that airport police officers weren't paying attention -- sometimes perusing their phones, using iPads or reading books on the job -- according to the same source.
Then came "a fix" agreed to by TSA and airport police management, to keep officers in the public areas but position them in front of the checkpoints, including the one where Friday's shooting began. Part of the deal was that officers would never be more than two minutes from the checkpoint screening area, if needed, according to the law enforcement source.
While Gannon hasn't addressed the claims of "bored" and "distracted" officers, he said Saturday the FBI has indicated his officers "were 60 seconds behind the suspect." However it was decided where they'd be standing, he insisted the two were where they were supposed to be, and did what they were supposed to do.
"Our officers were deployed where they were supposed to be and performed heroically in this particular matter," Gannon said.
TSA Administrator John Pistole called the shooting "a significant event" that will prompt a review of security protocol with partner agencies.
Speaking Saturday from Los Angeles, Pistole said,"This gives us great concern, so we'll look at what our policies are."

Gavin DeGraw Hospitalized After Brutal Attack In NYC
Gavin was rushed to NYC's Bellevue Hospital, where he was treated for a broken nose. We're wishing him a fast recovery.
Though specific details are still unclear, 34-year-old rocker Gavin DeGraw was attacked late Aug. 7 in New York City's East Village. Gavin is "currently under observation" at Bellevue Hospital, according to a statement from his rep.
Gavin was listed in stable condition and treated for a broken nose, as well as multiple facial cuts. No information is known about his attackers — neither their identities, nor the number of people involved — but a spokesperson for the New York Police Department did confirm Gavin had just left a group of friends before the attack.
Gavin, whose 2004 hit "I Don't Wanna Be" served as the theme song for the long-running teen drama One Tree Hill, has plans to release his next album, Sweeter, on Sept. 20. We wish him a speedy recovery, and hope he can soon return to doing what he loves most.
