"The future of the fitness industry will increasingly depend on a highly interactive, personalized experience for today's connected fitness enthusiast," said Brent Brooks, vice president of Networked Fitness at Precor. "For consumers who expect to access their entertainment, information and personal preferences no matter where they are, Preva Personal Accounts is a natural extension of their active lifestyle because they can access their workout profile, choose their favorite workouts and track their progress toward meeting their fitness goals."
Two trends are combining to drive increased demand for networked fitness solutions. First, more people worldwide are adding exercise to their daily routines to combat age- and lifestyle-related health risks and live longer, healthier lives. Second, these same people are increasingly using the internet to interact with each other and access digital content as part of the "connected" experience they now want in multiple aspects of their lives.
Given these dual trends, fitness facility operators need better, more cost-effective ways to differentiate their facility, attract and retain members by offering a connected fitness experience, and better manage their fitness equipment for maximum profitability.
Preva—including the new Personal Accounts feature—satisfies both needs:
Preva is backed by the strength and innovation of Precor, the industry leader in networked fitness solutions. Precor was the first fitness equipment manufacturer to launch capacitive touchscreens, bringing the fitness industry up to par with other interactive technologies. In 2010, the company unveiled its P80 console, which serves as the user interface for Preva.
The launch of Personal Accounts is the latest enhancements to Preva—all of which are designed to deliver a state-of-the-art fitness experience for exercisers and a competitive edge for fitness facility operators:
All Preva features—including Personal Accounts—are automatically included with P80 consoles. As new features are launched, each P80 console will receive software updates remotely over the internet, eliminating any upgrade or troubleshooting efforts by the fitness facility. When networked, there are no ongoing subscription fees for fitness facility operators or members.
Precor has already begun early adopter trials of Preva Personal Accounts at several fitness facilities, and the response has been overwhelmingly positive.
"Our members love the new Preva features," said Preston Crouser, general manager of Magnuson Athletic Club in Seattle, Washington. "They tell me how much they love tracking their weekly progress, and how motivating it is to achieve their reward badges. We are really happy to work with Precor, it's more like a partnership -- you can't go wrong, good relationship and quality product".
"Precor has spent several years developing a deep understanding of how exercisers want to work out and what they need to achieve their fitness goals," continued Brooks. "Our design philosophy of "fitness is foremost" guides everything we do, and we expect Preva to become the industry standard for delivering the personalized fitness experience consumers crave and the competitive advantage fitness facility operators demand."
Exercisers can sign up for Preva Personal Accounts at any networked fitness facility worldwide with the latest software installed on their Precor 880 cardio line fitness equipment. For more information about Preva, please visit www.preva.com.

The Detroit Tigers are headed to the World Series for the first time since 2006, seeking their first championship since 1984.
The Tigers swept the New York Yankees on Thursday in a 8-1 Game 4 win in the teams' best-of-seven American League Championship Series to advance to the World Series. Game 4 originally was scheduled for Wednesday night, but threats of inclement weather postponed the start time until 4:07 p.m. Thursday.
The World Series begins Oct. 24 in a best-of-seven series against the winner of the National League Championship Series, currently under way between the St. Louis Cardinals and San Francisco Giants. The National League team will have home-field advantage in the series because the American League lost the 2012 MLB All-Star Game.
Games 3, 4 and 5 will be at Comerica Park in Detroit, while Games 1, 2, 6 and 7 will be on the road.
Fox will nationally televise each game of the World Series. Local viewers can tune in via WJBK-TV, Fox 2 Detroit.
Tickets for the World Series games in Detroit went on sale Wednesday.
The World Series berth is manager Jim Leyland's second with the Tigers since leading the team to the Fall Classic in his first season with the team in 2006. The team advanced last year to the American League Championship Series, but lost to the Texas Rangers in six games.
The Tigers, who rallied late in the season to clinch the American League Central Division title and an automatic playoff berth, defeated the Oakland Athletics in five games in a best-of-five American League Division Series.

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) -- The Carolina Hurricanes have called up goalie Mike Murphy from their AHL affiliate in Charlotte to replace the injured Brian Boucher.
The team announced the move Tuesday, about 11 hours before its game at Calgary.
The Hurricanes say Boucher suffered a lower body injury during practice Monday in Calgary, but did not elaborate on the injury.
Boucher is 0-4-1 in seven games as Cam Ward's backup.
The 22-year-old Murphy was recalled for the first time. He is 9-5 with a 2.44 goals-against average in 15 games in Charlotte.

25 Million left for 3 starting Pitchers
by, 11-30-2012 at 11:47 PM (1794 Views)
After the trading Span the other day we now have 70 million or so in commitments for next year. That should leave around 25 million to sign 3 pitchers. Since the Twins have announed they are unlikely to trade for a pitcher at this point. They can really only look through FA at this point for next season. The Twins have talked to 20 plus pitchers this offseason to guage what it would take to sign them and their interest level in comming to Minnesota. Several more pitchers are now on the market as Lannan, Pelfry, Jurgens, and Karstens were non tendered today.
There are several ways to divy up the money and get starting pitching. the Question is whats the best formula for achieving that? there are several pitchers on the market that is going to get anywhere from 10-16 million or possibly more. Some one like Sanchez, Jackson, Dempster, or Haren is only a possiblity if we sign one of the bargain pitchers like the ones listed above or others including Pavano, Liriano, Villanueva, Bedard, Milwood, Lowe, and more or do we focus more on the midlevel SP Marcum, Myers, Blanton, McCarthy, Saunders, and so on, or we could sign one from each group or go the Twins way and see if we can get this done for 15 milion or less. I really hope we get one from each group as a 50 million (or large) contract would cause a lot of excitement in Minnesota. And if we were to get (1 from top tier and 1 form the middle tier) Dempster and Myers or even(2 from middle tier) Blanton and Myers for example, I would be fine with Karsten or Jurgens as our 3rd starting pitcher. What configurations of high dollar and low dollar pitchers do you feel comfortable with? Try not to spend more than 25 million per season. The closer to being between 15 and 20 million you can get the more realistic your guesses will be.
There are lots of options as I count at least 40 FA starting Pitchers on www.MLBtraderumors.com we only need 3 of them. Also with that last statement I wanted to point out there there are tons of options out there. So we have time to be competetive for next year.

PESHAWBESTOWN -- A late sprint, an early break-away.
Taylor Tolleson swept by a pair of Bissell riders at the final hill to win the fourth Priority Health Tour de Leelanau bicycling race on Sunday.
Anne Samplonius broke away from the pack early and rode to a two-minute victory in the women's race.
In his first Tour, Tolleson finished the race in a time of 4:15:09 with Ben Jacques-Maynes and Teddy King on either side. Competing for BMC Racing, Tolleson earned $3,200 for pushing past the Bissell riders on the ascent behind Eagle's Ridge in Peshawbestown.
"I pulled away just at the very end," Tolleson said.
"It's a full-on sprint once you hit the corner," runner-up Jacques-Maynes said. "When you unleash the legs, it's whoever has the most and that's Taylor here."
Samplonius, racing for Cheerwine, broke away 20 kilometers into the race and rode up front the rest of the way to take first in 2:58:05 and earn a $2,000 check.
"For me, (the finish) wasn't very stressful because I was out front by about two minutes," Samplonius said. "I could sit up and relax. I could crawl up that final hill, so it was fun."
Of course, Tolleson didn't have that luxury. But the BMC cyclist said he did enjoy the competition.
"It started out pretty quick and was really fast all day," he said. "It was a real good race, a real positive race. There were a lot of attacking, a lot of tactical stuff going on."
And coming up the last hill, Tolleson had enough of a kick to cross the finish line with a yell and both arms upraised.
"He's known to be a pretty good sprinter," said King, who crossed the line in 4:15:10. "I wouldn't say that it came as a surprise. He's a super-talented cyclist.
"Everyone's giving it everything they have the last 250 meters. If we did it three more times right now, maybe Ben would win, maybe I would win. You never know.
"That's not to take anything away from Tyler. He rode a great race."
Bissell had the 2007 men's champion while racing for Priority Health. And even with the sponsor change, Bissell showed it could put riders out front.
"Our team has had a good run here," Jacques-Maynes said. "The Bissell team wanted to race very aggressively and I think we succeeded in doing that. We had good representation all race.
"A couple more meters at the end would have put us on the top step, but we have to be happy with two spots on the podium."
Charles Dionne, racing for Successful Living, was fourth in 4:15:11 while Tolleson's teammate, Darren Lill, was fifth in 4:15:19.
Samplonius and her teammate, Leigh Hobson (3:00:19), took the top two spots in the women's race. And after the race, Samplonius gave her teammates all the credit for keeping her out front, especially with her unplanned break.
"The opportunity just happened," Samplonius said. "I went around the corner faster than the rest of the girls and I had a gap. I looked back and thought, 'Wow, I'm going to put the pressure on. The whole idea for our team was to make it super hard. We have a great sprinter in Laura VanGilder so I knew if I was caught, that I had a great team behind me and that they would take over.
"It wasn't really a move where I thought I was going to win, it was more of sacrificing myself for the team. It just worked out well and the girls behind me on my team covered everything."
"We have a really solid team and a lot of solid players," Hobson added. "That was comforting so we could take a lot of chances, be aggressive and ride your bike without worrying where you're supposed to finish."
Joanne Kiesanowski of Team Tibco placed third in 3:00:21 while VanGilder was fourth in 3:01:05. Tina Pic of Colavita/Sutter Home took fifth in 3:02:16.

The Associated Press
ALBANY, Ga. —
A group focused on fighting human rights violations against inmates has reached a settlement with three south Georgia judges it had accused of denying public access to proceedings in jail courtrooms.
The settlement agreement was filed Monday in federal court in Albany. It reflected an agreement between the Southern Center for Human Rights and three judges in the Cordele Judicial Circuit: Chief Superior Court Judge John Pridgen, Superior Court Judge T. Christopher Hughes and Superior Court Judge Robert Chasteen, Jr.
The suit was filed in June 2012 on behalf of people who were denied access to hearings.
The settlement says courtrooms will be open and that the public won't be subject to questioning or approval to enter. It also says that requiring a person who wants to enter a courtroom to prove their relationship to a defendant or making access conditional on the plea entered by the defendant violates the person's First Amendment right of access.
The settlement also says that signs on courtroom doors should clearly inform members of the public of their right to observe court hearings and that judges shouldn't use jail courtrooms for criminal proceedings except under certain limited circumstances.
Before filing the lawsuit, the Southern Center had been sending investigators and law students into courtrooms across the state to look into the issue of courtroom access.
Some people had been told that they will not be able to enter unless the family member they have come to see intends to enter a guilty plea, and some who had been allowed entry noticed multiple empty seats inside, even as people sat outside waiting to get in, the Southern Center said when the lawsuit was filed. That violated the public's constitutional right to attend hearings in criminal cases, the lawsuit claimed.

Golden Valley, MN Smashburger now open
Stopped in at 11:15. Line was 20 deep. Thought I'd stick it out. Saw a burger go by. Left in disgust. Had Chipotle next door.
re: getgot211
re: princebaal
re: Fibber McGee
I'm not saying it's terrible...obviously I didn't eat anything there.
If you want a comparison, I would guess Culver's is your spot. I happen to hate Culver's burgers with a passion. I personally think it's an absolute shame to take ground beef and destroy its flavor and texture by flattening it and griddling it until there's a uniform layer of dark brown char across the whole patty. Bonus points for serving it on a dry, mealy bun that you try to salvage by dousing in butter.
I'm not qualified to say what Smashburgers taste like, but I saw burgers going by and at diners' tables that were thin, small and charred across the whole patty with buns and condiments that didn't look appetizing.
I walked in hoping for the best since I already knew from reading here what the place was all about. I'm sure I'll try one some day. But it just didn't look like good food.
re: MSPD
Not a fan of Culver's, either. At least, their burgers. princebaal had some rather scathing things to say about them in another post, though.
We getting inundated by Sonics here the last few months. I'd hate to think the trend of poor to mediocre chains oversaturating markets is going to continue.
re: Fibber McGee
The good news is, just because the poor to mediocre chains come here, doesn't mean we have to patronize them! Sure, it's fine to try them and keep an open mind (because you just never know when you'll find something amazingly delicious).
But, if the chain burgers disappoint you, you can keep right on enjoying the burgers at 112 Eatery, Craftsman, Meritage, Vincent, Town Talk Diner, The Nook, Blue Door Pub, Matt's, (and so on, I'm sure I missed many...) even Burger Jones, which is a chain, but, at least, a local chain...
re: The Dairy Queen
We don't have any of those in Ohio.
But seriously, you're right. However, when a chain, poor, mediocre or good, expands as rapidly as Smashburger is planning to, it certainly could hurt the local places by increasing competition among other things I don't think I need to go into as so many have talked about that before on these boards.
re: The Dairy Queen
Burger Jones is not a chain. There is only one. They may be a chain wannabe but that is to be seen yet. Parasole hasn't exactly turned all their restaurants into chains and what they have they haven't exactly saturated the country or region they way you would expect a chain to do.
re: Davydd
re: The Dairy Queen
re: soupkitten
re: The Dairy Queen
woo-hoo! for sure! and earmuffs and a snowshovel! and frozen custard and battered walleye and a bahn mi and a reusable green mug (from target) of peace coffee and a mock duck taco and pierogies and a bucket of booya! and some blackberry schnapps and a DQ blizzard. :) okay the octopus is actually a hexapus by now. pulling a little red wagon full of penguin butts for distribution at the doorsteps of out-of-state chains such as: smashburger, starbucks, 5 guys, TJ's, california pizza kitchen. . .
oh yeah, i'm punchy! dooooood!
re: soupkitten
re: Fibber McGee
I was curious and tried it for the first time today.
Underwhelmed is an understatement.
> At 2 PM there was a line that took about 10 minutes (which is just fine if you are going to get something very special).
> The 5 minute wait on a take out order was actually 10 minutes. They also have no accommodations for those wanting to take out.
> The fries were over-salted, lukewarm and hard -- not crispy on the outside and tender in the middle. I'd guess they'd been sitting around for a while. I have had better fries at McDonalds.
> The containers weren't labeled. That doesn't sound like a big deal, but when you get a burger with a lot of toppings, it's messy to disassemble it to figure out which one is which and then have to put it back together again.
> What's with the lack of Spicy Baja burger here in Minnesota?
I asked for it and was told that it's only served in California and Colorado -- that you're serving the Twin Cities burger here. For that matter, we don't even warrant a pepper-jack cheese or chipotle bun option??? Don't tell me, let me guess: you bought into the hype that no one here likes heat, right? That generalization is about as outdated and untrue as that whole "Minnesota Nice" thing. Not so much on either of them. The order taker suggested a "spicy mustard". I passed.
> I now know why its called a "smash" burger. The patty was smashed and charred in grease. It came completely unsalted.
It is my first and likely last visit. If I was an investor, I'd stay away from this place
re: mpls3467
I had sent them feedback and the Smashburger Rep. addressed it in a classy manner:
"Thank you for taking the time to write regarding your first Smashburger experience! I am glad to hear your burger was good and you enjoyed it. I apologize that your fries were not as tasty as the burger! It sounds like you had your order to go? We do try to cook our fries fresh for each order, so that even when you take them home they will still be hot and crisp. It is also our standard practice to write the name of each burger on each box so that you do not have to try to figure that out on your own. It seems that practice may have been missed on your order and apologize for that as well.
I am from MN, and I have been working to get the Baja burger on the menu here. It was not taken off because we Minnesota folks would not like it; but more because the Twin City burger was added and some ingredients were eliminated to make room for it. I do know there is consideration being given to get it added back to the menu- stay tuned.
In the meantime, I would love to send you a couple of certificates for you to use the next time you are in. If you could respond with your address, I will get them in the mail to you this week.
Thanks again for your time and patronage.
Brian A Beers "
I went today out of curiosity. First off, the place is a fast food burger place but it is definitely way better than the McDonalds ilk, a cut above Culver's and similar to Five Guys in focusing primarily on the burger. It is no gourmet burger and it is almost half the price of Burger Jones. It is better than the Matt's Bar Jucy Lucy in quality and presentation.
In the City Pages review...
by Rachel Hutton, I would say she was right on with her rankings. I've had burgers from all but the American Burger Bar in St. Paul. Given taste, price, service and presentation it could be ranked first among Sonic, Five Guys, American Burger Bar, and Burger Jones. Burger Jones was a cut above but also, as I said, almost double the price. If all you wanted was a quick burger for lunch it is fine, more than fine.
As MSPD mentioned going to Chipotle there were quite a few impatient people that made that same decision while I was there. I'm sure Chipotle was happy. This Chipotle didn't have the lines like the Nicollet Mall Chipotle. The wait started right at the entrance door but went surprisingly fast. Unlike Five Guys where you have to listen for your call out number and pick up, Smashburger gives you a number sign to put at your table to wait and they deliver your burger basket. That little difference alone makes them better service wise.
Attached are photos of the Twin Cities Smashburger without fries and the Classic Smashburger with fries. Fries were good, BTW.
My post about the burgers at the Hilltop location was kind of lost in the Burger Jones thread, so I'll repost it here, where it makes a lot more sense:
The first (Hilltop) Smashburger has been open for a couple of weeks now. I tried it for the first time today. (Full disclosure: I had a coupon for a free burger, so I didn't pay for mine.)
Overall, it was a pretty good burger. Best burger I've ever had? No, but way better than most, and for 5 bucks, you shouldn't be expecting the 112 burger. I really liked the garlic rosemary french fries - some of the better fries I've had in a while, although a bit too greasy for my liking.
In the end, Smashburger (and Five Guys, which I haven't been to, but will assume is quite similar) will do for the burger what Chipotle has done for the burrito. If your burgers are usually from McDonalds or Applebees (Taco Bell or Don Pablos) this will be a major step up for you. The service is fast and friendly, the place feels trendy, and the food is better than average at a price that won't break the bank.
That's a recipe for success with the masses, and they deserve every bit of that success. I doubt I'll go back, because I'd rather not visit any chain or franchise. That said, I don't think it is bad to have a place like this raising the bar for everyone else. You're going to have a hard time throwing a frozen Sysco patty on the grill and getting away with it if there's a Smashburger nearby.

Only issue I have(and this for all storage facilities)for those of who store vehicles there we need at least one electrical outlet to plug our trickle chargers to keep our batteries charged. Otherwise we drain the batteries to the point of having to replace them every couple of years. As well as we tend to lose some of are modified computer settings.(This mostly applies to more modern cars, but if classics are up graded it can happen to them also.) Have no problem paying a little extra to prevent a major headache down the road.Jeffrey from Schaumburg, IL

You may have seen it live. You more than likely have seen the highlight. The play happened during a Sunday-night game in 2007 between NFC East rivals in early November. One play stood out above the rest in a lopsided win for Dallas at Philadelphia. Cowboys TE Jason Witten caught a pass over the middle and was sandwiched between two Eagles defenders. Not only did the former Tennessee Volunteer star not go down, but he emerged without a very important piece of equipment, his helmet. Witten took off downfield, looking over both shoulders while trying his best not to be taken down from behind. Fortunately for the Eagles, someone did catch up to him, but only after Witten had gained 53 yards.
"I'm sure that's a play that I will be remembered for, for a long time. From a football standpoint, that's the way the game is supposed to be played. Just because you take a hit, that doesn't give you an excuse to go down. Just keep on running," the 6-6, 263-pound six-time Pro Bowler said. " I hope that play showed the passion and integrity and respect that I have for the game."
It's that kind of modesty and drive that helped Jason Witten earn Pro Football Weekly's 2010 Arthur S. Arkush Humanitarian Award. Witten joins former teammate Roy L. Williams, who won in 2006, as a member of what is now a 12-member club. The Cowboys, meanwhile, join the Bills, Chiefs and Titans as teams that have multiple award recipients.
"I think it speaks volumes to what this organization is all about. There is so much more than wins and losses that go into making this franchise what it is," Witten said. "I really think that they embrace their role in the community. Our community relations director, Emily Robbins, our P.R. director, Rich Dalrymple, do a great job of bringing us along. Taking advantage of what we have, and trying to give back."
The feeling of pride Witten has for the Cowboys is definitely mutual.
"It's been a joy to have the opportunity to work with Jason and his wife, Michelle," Robbins said. "Along the way, I've seen firsthand Jason's unique ability to connect with one child or a group of kids and make each of them walk away feeling special. Most think he's just like the guy next door — someone who hasn't been affected by his on-field success or status with the Dallas Cowboys. And you know what? They are absolutely right.
"But he is much, much more to so many that he has touched with his volunteerism and SCORE Foundation. Long after his days of playing football are complete, Jason will still be the guy volunteering, still making a difference in the community, still saying, 'Yeah, I'll do that one, too!' "
As Robbins pointed out, Witten and his wife launched a foundation that includes the SCOREkeepers program (SCORE stands for Support, Community, Overcome, Rebuild, Educate).
According to Witten's Web site, the SCOREkeepers program is a "unique initiative placing full-time, trained male mentors in battered women's shelters throughout Texas. The mentors seek to demonstrate positive male behavior to the children living in these shelters in an effort to break the cycle of violence that plagues families affected by abuse."
Co-director Ryan Altizer said the foundation implemented a new program that he and Witten are very excited about. It's called "Coaching Boys into Men." Witten and his foundation reached out to the coaches of male athletes at four high schools in the Arlington, Texas, area.
Coaches are taught "how to interact with their student-athletes about the rights and wrongs of dating and interacting with women," Altizer explained. The coaches went through the learning process in the spring and will be implementing the program in the fall as students return to school.
In addition to "Coaching Boys into Men," Witten and his foundation have held annual football camps and charity bowling events as well as a yearly Christmas party.
"A ton of his Cowboy teammates and their wives or girlfriends help put this thing on," Altizer said regarding the Christmas party. "The looks on the faces of these kids as they get to meet these guys and get to play games with them, and get special gifts that they wouldn't get otherwise. It's a true testament to not only Jason, but his teammates as well."
In June, Witten held his eighth annual free football camp in his hometown of Elizabethton, Tenn. QB Tony Romo has helped Witten with the camp in the past.
"I've been amazed by all that Jason has given back to the community," Romo said. "It started when we were rookies. He was always volunteering for this or for that, way before he started his foundation. It proved to me that it's for real with him — he is not doing something because it's what he should do but rather what he wants to do to make a difference in the lives of others.
"Like at his football camp that I went to, there are over 1,000 kids there and he is totally into it — very present and happy to be spending time with those kids."
Cowboys head coach Wade Phillips agrees with his Pro Bowl quarterback.
"As I've gotten to know Jason over the last few years, I've been just as impressed with his off-the-field contributions as his play on the field," said Phillips. "He is the total package. A heck of a football player, an incredible husband and father and a guy that is genuinely dedicated to his community efforts whether through his own foundation or something our team or league has going on. You can't ask for more from a person — he already gives all he's got."
When asked about his thoughts on winning an award for the contributions he makes off the field, he deflected it the same way he deflected those two Eagle defenders back in 2007.
"I believe the integrity you have to play with and the kind of person you have to be and realize that part of our responsibility is to provide for the unfortunate situations that some of these kids have," Witten said.
Witten plans to continue his volunteer work even after his career comes to an end.
"Hopefully you're building a strong enough foundation where it will continue to grow to the point where when you're done playing, it doesn't need that name, or it doesn't need those things to continue to grow," he said. "It's obviously something that is extremely important to my family and me. I'm very hopeful that it continues going long after I'm done playing."
True words from a man who makes things happen, whether it's with a helmet or without one.

I cover defense and national security.
Norman Schwarzkop looked like a general. A 6-foot-3 bear of a man who seemed like he could tear a David Petraeus in half.
More than that, Schwarzkopf fought like a general, or at least the way Americans want their generals to fight. He led the sweeping "Hail Mary" outflanking maneuver that routed Saddam Hussein's forces in the First Persian Gulf War of 1991. As a battalion commander in Vietnam. he walked into a minefield to save one of his wounded men.
Schwarzkopf died yesterday at age 78, and thus passed what is probably the last of the Great American Generals. I don't mean "great" in the military sense. It's hard to judge Schwarzkopf's record in the First Gulf War. We know now that the Iraqi military, worn out by an eight-year bloodbath of a war against Iran was a hollow shell that was already demoralized by relentless Coalition air strikes before the first American ground troops attacked. Yet at the time we didn't know that for sure, there were fears that Saddam would use chemical or biological weapons, and there were lingering doubts that the American military – after the Vietnam debacle and the "hollow army" of the 1970s – was up to the ask. Victory is always obvious in hindsight.
No, when I say Schwarzkopf was the last great general, I mean that he was the last general that seemed to have personality, force of convictions, grit and a focus on getting the job done rather than advancing his career. It has been America's misfortune that the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan were led by a succession of mediocre generals. Odierno, Franks, Sanchez…does anyone even remember their names anymore? Even Petraeus proved to have feet of clay (perhaps James Mattis was the most Schwarzkopf-esque].
Big physiques and fiery tempers don't guarantee victory, or else Mussolini's generals would have won World War II. Nor do we know how Schwarzkopf would have fared as commander in Afghanistan. It is hard to demonstrate Patton-esque brilliance in a long, grinding war of counterinsurgency, and it was Schwarzkopf's good fortune to fight a conventional war in Iraq I instead of a guerrilla war in Iraq II. The future of war is probably going to be small, high-tech conflicts, not battles between 500,000-strong armies.
Nonetheless, I suspect that Schwarzkopf would have looked at our Iraq and Afghanistan strategies and told his bosses, this isn't going to work. Straight talk from a hard-charging commander. That's the sort of general America yearns for.
What pious nonsense!
A real "hero," who presided over an assault on a defenseless country and former ally in a cynical power-play in time for the '92 election, who shot on retreating Iraqis, who never had skin in the game…. BARF
If you're talking about the July invasion of Kuwait, the State Dept cables prove that U.S. Ambassador in Iraq April Glaspie supported Saddam (I quote her: the US 'had no opinion' on Iraq's intentions with regard to Kuwait). It wasn't until August, when Bush needed a war and Iraq wasn't a sufficient "puppet-regime" that Herr Blackhead's criminal invasion was required to promote the unipolar world order.
And, needless to say, this was all about oil. I don't recall the name of the general dispatched to Rwanda to maintain stability there. If you're a "national security" correspondent and haven't even read some Smedley Butler, why should we waste our time?

Missing Code Challenge
Online identity management and single sign-on still doesn't work. Not well enough, anyway. OpenID is a good step forward. So are a bunch of other less familiar approaches. But we still haven't arrived.
For example, I've been a member of Blogger for the duration. That is, since long before Google bought the company. In the old days, making a comment on a Blogger blog was fairly easy. Now it's a lot more complicated. I'm sure that's mostly because comment spam is a gigantic problem, especially for a gigantic company like Google.
But still, from the human visitor's perspective, it's a mess. Here's a screen shot I took after failing for the Nth time to successfully post a comment on a Blogger blog:
For what it's (not) worth, I have a Blogger ID, a Google ID, several OpenIDs, some number of i-names, maybe some information cards (I'm not sure I actually have any yet, but I do think they're good to have), plus cookies from countless sites in my browser's jar, none of which seems to help with this.
I shouldn't complain, because I've been involved in the user-centric identity development community for many years, and have played an active role in helping various efforts (both competing and complementary) to move forward and get along with each other in the process.
But still, we ain't there. And I don't believe we'll get there until each of is known and/or trusted automatically by those with which (or whom) we have relationships. You know, like in the Real World.
For that to happen, we need to hack a way for the individual to drive the interaction. It isn't enough for identity to be "user-centric". In fact, it isn't enough to focus just on identity. After all, I don't need to identify myself when I walk into a grocery store and pay cash to buy stuff. In fact, the stores' "loyalty cards" are terrible systems that not only fail as identity cards, but require dual pricing for every item they "discount", while also slowing down the checkout line. It's as if some kind of digital identity disease has infected ordinary brick & mortar stores as well.
Real engagement needs to be user-driven. That means the individual should be fully empowered to engage with any person or service in the digital world on his or her own terms, in easy, consistent and well-understood ways that may or may not require identifying one's self.
We each need to be independent variables, not dependent ones. What makes me trustworthy to a service like Blogger shouldn't be code that lives entirely on Blogger's side, while all I've got is one among a zillion ID/password combinations, most of which I don't remember. I need to be trusted when I show up. Automatically.
Maybe the means for making this happen will live out in the cloud somewhere. Or in many places. (I can see a lot of potential business here, actually.) But none of it will work unless it starts with the individual. Each of us operating in the digital world needs tools for engagement that belong to us, are operated by us, and give us autonomy, capability and control.
If we get that, we can say goodbye to ugly stuff like the interface above — plus the massive market friction that comes from every vendor having its own silo'd ways of dealing with customers, including CRM (customer relationship management) systems that are controlling and inhuman beyond endurance.
Can we do that? Can we build tools that make individuals both independent of vendor control yet better able to engage with vendors? Can we fix the silo'd authentication problems that have plagued online markets from the beginning? I think we can. That's one reason why I started ProjectVRM at Harvard's Berkman Center.
But I don't know the answer yet, because we don't have the code. Some of us are working on it. You might see evidence by peeking through windows here, here, here, here, here and here — as well as in various corners of the identity community and via links in the blogroll here.
But it's still early. The challenge is still out there.
Is this an itch any of you programming folks feel like scratching — for your own good as well as the rest of the world's? If so, say so below. Or follow what we're doing at the VRM Workshop on Monday and Tuesday.

There is no (reasonably
There is no (reasonably permanent) software solution to raising lousy human beings - i.e. the kind that make necessary the likes of passwords, spy/mal-ware detectors, encryption, spam-guards, etc., etc., etc. (not to mention locks, walls, barbed-wired, prisons, weapons, police, armies....)
Human interaction
Even in human interaction an automatic recgoniation doesn't occur. At the very least I must look at a person to identify who that person is. You always have to have a sort of sign-in or verification process to know who someone is or isn't. I just don't see that going away.
Why do I need anything more than a complex passphrase? Or perhaps I could have an application that I sign into on my computer that provides recognition services to websites that need to know about me?
Say I sign into this hypothetical program and I go to buy something from an e-commerce site that I don't have an account with. When I go to this site, it requests my name and basic demographic information from the program that resides on my computer and I can choose to allow or deny this. Then I spend some time choosing some things that I'd like to buy, and proceed to the checkout. When I click some button that finalizes my order (yes, I'm really sure I want that frobbitz) the site requests my billing and shipping information, again I can allow or deny this request.
Alternatively, some sites just want to make sure you're you so they know how to store the information you give them. For example, del.icio.us might just want a cookie loaded into your browser session. Del.icio.us could make a request to this program that it present certain information when visiting the site, minimizing the amount of pain they'd have to undergo to support this sort of program.
This really wouldn't be prohibitively difficult to build.
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

If you already use virtualized infrastructure, you are well on your way to leveraging the power of the cloud. Virtualization offers the promise of limitless resources, but how do you manage that scalability when your DevOps team doesn't scale? In today's hypercompetitive markets, fast results can make a difference between leading the pack vs. obsolescence. Organizations need more benefits from cloud computing than just raw resources. They need agility, flexibility, convenience, ROI, and control.

A Quick Note About Casual Stupidity
Internal auditors, when we are not careful, can come off a bit high-handed. That is, as we review and analyze and provide feedback on the operations of others, we can sometimes (not all times) sanctimoniously pass judgment on their actions.
Now, I hasten to add that this is not an affliction we exhibit with great regularity. (Yes, I know exceptions – but they are, indeed, exceptions.) But I venture to say that each of us, at one time or another, has fallen into the trap.
That is why it is good and humbling for us to recognize when we are on the other side of that story – to recognize when we casually step across the line without recognizing the transgression.
Case in point...
Last Wednesday I posted an image I had cobbled together. With no real thought about my actions, I blithely included the IIA logo.
For those unaware of the fact, the logo is a trademarked image – an image I had effectively stolen.
Don't worry, the IIA police did not come pounding down my door with battering rams and injunctions. No, realization dawned when someone asked permission to use the poster.
There followed the slap of hand against forehead and the quite articulate "D'oh!"
Go back and look at the post, and you will see a new image at the top – one that is not a trademark infringement.
And from this there is a message: No matter how much we talk about the "right things to do", we are not immune to casual stupidity.

When the professional golfers play there's usually a MetLife Blimp nearby. So, with the Wells Fargo Championship going on, NBC Charlotte's Sonja Gantt got the chance of a lifetime; she took a ride in a blimp—and our cameras went with her.
From the blimp photographers give you spectacular shots of all the action on the golf course.
Pilot Charlie Smith will be flying over the Wells Fargo Championship this weekend.
"It's one of the few aircraft that is able to fly this low…a combination of being this low to the ground and cruising at say 20- miles an hour we call it low and slow you can see all the details."
Smith is just one of eight people who are part of the crew that keeps the blimp running. They fly 11 months out of the year, as long as the winds are not faster than 20 miles per hour. And the blimp is never deflated because with 75 events a year there's no time for the three weeks it would require to inflate it.
And while the blimp program at MetLife is 25 years old, it's modern. The blimp has it's own Twitter account (@MetLifeBlimp). If it's in your area you can even request a fly-by.
After 10 years of flying, Smith said, "I'm still in love with it today as much as I was the first day it's a lot of fun to fly this really a unique feeling."

I've been intrigued by Crossfit for several years, but could never afford the cost. I like the idea of the shorter workouts, 1 hour or less. I've tried to do research and there are pros and cons. I would like to hear from anyone who was a power lifter, bodybuilder or just a weightlifter who has tried Crossfit. Is it worth the hype and the monetary cost?
Crossfit utilizes a lot of good training ideas but because there are so many boxes out there programs can vary significantly. Some are just metcon mills, whereas other programs can be really balanced.
To me the best ones, have a solid strength program blended in with metcons and endurance work. They don't burn you into the ground every day. Also, the good programs have coaches who will adjust the WODs to your needs beyond simple scaling.
CF Mainsite is a good place to get the flavor of CF metcons, but to the best of my knowledge most competitive CF Athletes work a lot of strength work with metcons added in.
With that, I'll say good boxes are worth the price especially if you don't have good gymnastic or olympic lifting skills. So I'd look at the coaches bios in your area, call and ask how they teach the oly lifts. Ask how they program strength.
If you want just general fitness, then just the short metcons may be adequate. But if your really want to build strength and superior fitness you'll probably need more.
I think the other big benefit is having a community behind you. Due to work, I lift either alone or at times when he can with my brother. I think having a box behind you would really push you. No one outlifts me when I train alone, and when I make a 5lb PR its great. But, I wonder how much faster I'd progress when my peers are beating me by 10lbs or doing Fran 10 seconds faster.
I give crossfit two thumbs up.
However, there a plenty of shitty boxes out there so do your research and find a good one.

I would make sure the gym you go to or you follow has a clue about programming!
I think the group setting in a box would work great for me. I try to do cf type workouts in my base gym, but find it difficult due to people hanging out in certain areas. I go there with a plan, but I always have to change it up or end up waiting to use the deadlier area or pull-up bars, etc.
If your goal is to get into great overall shape then I absolutely recommend it.

What are your goals? If they are to put on mass or build strength then I suggest you look elsewhere. If it is overall fitness then it should work well for you. I did it for a while and really enjoyed the Olympic lifting and playing around with bumpers but I got tired of the programming at the box I went to as they didn't match my goals.

Garrett Moser scored on a quarterback keeper from one yard out with 2:56 left to give Warrior Run a 21-14 win over Wyalusing on Friday as the Defenders picked up their second win in a row.
The Defenders (2-7) came back in late in the fourth quarter on a pass from Moser to Nick Rohm from the 35-yard line as Rohm stretched across the plain as he was being brought down for touchdown to tie the game at 14. Rohm finished the night with three catches for 61 yards and the score as he beat the Rams (1-8) defense.
Derek Keiser helped move the ball down the field in the game-winning drive, as he finished with 97 yards rushing including a touchdown in the first quarter. His partner in the backfield, Mark Blanchard gashed the defense for 178 yards on 24 carries.

In an effort to be more accountable and transparent, Murray County's elected officials have signed off on an ethics policy that Sole Commissioner Brittany Pittman introduced.
The three-page policy covers the general character of elected officials, conflicts of interest, financial disclosures, gifts and favors, and discrimination and harassment, among other topics. It is signed by Pittman, Sheriff Gary Langford, Clerk of Court Donna Flood, Tax Commissioner Charlotte Keener, Probate Judge Dale Adams, Chief Magistrate L. Gale Buckner, part-time magistrate Chris Fowler, part-time magistrate Eric Hooker and Coroner Larry Ballew.
Pittman said she wrote the policy herself within weeks of taking office in January and had county attorney Greg Kinnamon review it. Officials signed off several weeks ago.
"It was high on the priority list when coming into office," Pittman said. "I think it's very important to set these standards of ethics with the elected officials. We're setting the bar. We want everything to be done with the utmost professionalism and ethical standards."
Pittman acknowledged the move was at least partly in response to allegations of several elected and government officials behaving unethically in recent years.
A Murray County Sheriff's Office deputy and his supervisor recently pleaded guilty in federal court to charges related to lying during a civil rights investigation following the false arrest of a woman who accused a Murray County judge of sexually soliciting her.
The judge, Bryant Cochran, denied the sexual accusations but admitted to pre-signing a handful of warrants. Though Cochran's attorney, Page Pate, said Cochran never planned to issue the warrants without a hearing, he admitted the behavior was unethical and resigned.
Officials are still investigating how far the alleged scandal reaches. Attorneys for the woman falsely arrested claim Cochran orchestrated a scheme to discredit her by having someone at a trailer park he owns plant meth on her vehicle, and they say he then asked around until he found police officers who would participate in the arrest. Pate says there's zero evidence that happened.
That wasn't the first time a high-ranking Murray County official resigned amid serious allegations. Former sole commissioner David Ridley stepped down following sexual harassment allegations by an employee, citing personal reasons. The lawsuit was eventually settled out of court for an undisclosed amount.
Langford, who defeated longtime incumbent Howard Ensley for the sheriff's post in November, said he hasn't heard much feedback — good or bad — from the public since officials signed off on the policy.
"I think they expected us all to live up to it, and that's what we're trying to do," he said.
Dalton City Administrator Ty Ross said the City Council in 2009 adopted an ethics ordinance due to the leadership of Mayor David Pennington and council members. It covers the usual topics of conflicts of interest and integrity in office, but it also provides an ethics board to listen to and review complaints.
Whitfield County Board of Commissioners Chairman Mike Babb said there is no written ethics policy for elected officials in the county beyond what's already in state law, but officials understand when they come in they're expected to do the right thing and that there will be consequences if they fail.
"All your elected officials basically serve at the (will) of the voters, so most of them try to stay straight in office," Babb said, adding, "To tell you the truth, the main thing that keeps people straight is the news media."
Policy excerpts
• "... Officials shall adhere to ethical standards that eliminate disappointment borne of dishonesty, conflicts of interest, unfairness or illegality. Preservation of public trust is critical for the preservation of democracy."
• "Treating others as you would have them to treat you is always a good ethical test."
• "Elected officials must not be involved in discussing or deciding any issue over which they have jurisdiction which will impact themselves or a family member, financially."
• "Elected officials are prohibited from receiving anything of value or any compensation other than their normal salary for any services rendered in connection with that person's duties with the county."
• "... Elected officials must disclose in writing to the county clerk all gifts, benefits or favors received from people with a financial interest in business before the county or which may come before the county that relate to professional or collegiate sports, athletic, entertainment activities or tickets or anything with a value of $75 or more ... All disclosures shall be kept for public record in the County Clerk's office."
• "No relative of an elected official may be hired in the department for which said official is elected."
• "Harassment of any sort ... is considered a violation of the Code of Ethics."

Radiation Prior to Surgery for Rectal Cancer
Another benefit of pre-operative treatment is that radiation may be able to change the surgical approach in those patients that would normally require a permanent colostomy. If the tumor can be shrunk with radiation and chemotherapy, it may be possible to avoid a permanent colostomy. Some patients may still need a temporary colostomy after pre-operative chemo-radiation because it slows the healing and is usually closed 4 to 6 months after surgery.
The down side to treating all patients with pre-operative radiation is that some will get treated with radiation unnecessarily. Because the tests used to evaluate the extent of the tumor (CT, ultrasound, MRI, etc.) are not perfect, some patients may get radiation who probably could have been treated with surgery only. This is the major reason post-op treatment may be favored , unless it is clear from the physical examination and radiology tests that the patient will require radiation therapy even after surgery.
There are a large number of institutions that do it each way, and it would be best to talk to a doctor that does post-op treatment routinely and ask him/her what their opinion is and why.
As a general rule, patients with a tumor not through the bowel wall and no involvement of lymph nodes do not need any treatment other than surgery. If the preoperative testing suggests it has broken through the bowel wall, is stuck to other tissues, or there are enlarged lymph nodes, then that patient may need radiation and chemotherapy. The latter group is routinely treat pre-operatively with chemotherapy and radiation before surgery followed by additional chemotherapy after surgery. The former group may be recommend to have surgery and if the physicians are unpleasantly surprised by the extent of the tumor then they may get chemotherapy and radiation after surgery.

TORONTO The blonde-haired sprite makes it seem so easy as she twirls around on the ice, twisting and turning this way and that, carving perfectly tight circles like some knife-wielding chef.
She looks like a figure skater. And that is what she used to be. But now, Barb Underhill is wearing hockey skates, a pair of oversized gloves, and gripping a stick that has been chopped down to fit her 4-foot-11 proportions.
Its Kenny Ryans, she says of the stick. It was the smallest one I could find.
The stick is just a prop. There are no pucks on the ice this morning. Just a fresh sheet of ice for Underhill, who was hired in April as the Toronto Maple Leafs power skating consultant, to show the new recruits at the organizations prospect development camp what can be possible with a little belief and a lot of hard work.
It might not happen right away This is just a taste, she says but the skating guru has a history of turning the flat-footed into the sure-footed. All she asks of her students is that they buy in, put in the work and not be afraid to look a bit foolish.
