Ahmadinejad : Shoot me!
…Into Space
Ahmadinejad wants to be Iran's first astronaut
TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Monday that he's ready to take the risk of being the first Iranian astronaut sent into space as part of Iran's goal of a manned space flight.
"I'm ready to be the first Iranian to sacrifice myself for our country's scientists," the official IRNA news agency quoted him as saying in an address to space scientists in Tehran.
Space tourist Anousheh Ansari was the first Iranian to make a journey into space aboard a Soyuz TMA-9 capsule from Baikonur, Kazakhastan, in September 2006. The 40-year-old telecommunications entrepreneur paid a reported $20 million for a space station visit. Her journey became an inspiration to women in male-dominated Iran.
Iran sent a monkey into space last Monday, describing the launch a successful step toward Tehran's plan to send an astronaut into space within the next five to six years. The monkey named "Pishgam," which means pioneer in Farsi, reportedly traveled 120 kilometers (72 miles) and safely returned to Earth.
In 2010, Iran said it launched an Explorer rocket into space carrying a mouse, a turtle and worms.
Iran's space officials say Iran will launch a bigger rocket carrying a larger animal to obtain greater safety assurances before sending a man into space.
Defense Minister Ahmad Vahidi said Iran will soon send a satellite into space from its Imam Khomeini space center, which is still under construction.

I'd like to see him blast off with Link Hogthrob and Miss Piggy etc. Should be good for a few laughs at the expense of the friggin Iranians and their lousy excuse for a leader.

text: I just spent the last 4 days of a month long vacation in London. I spent three of those nights at the Savoy. It is undoubtedly one of the best drink venues I have ever been too. There is no attitude nor pretention with service. You feel very welcomed. I had Ole Blue Eyes in the Champagne Bar ( the Art Deco bar) and at 25 GPS it was great. A special Silver Jack Daniels, with a touch of Benedctine and a few squeezes of fresh orange burned with a match served on a coaster of an old 45 rpm record of an old Sinatra recording. after the 5 minute description of the drink from the bartender and his traveling Art Deco bar - it was fabulous!!!!

Focused on turning out base voters, President Barack Obama is being cheered at raucous rallies and spreading this message: Don't turn your back on the change happening in Washington.
He's expecting a double dose of cheer on Friday when he headlines a pair of rallies to boost two high-profile Democrats in tossup races: California Sen. Barbara Boxer and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid of Nevada.
"We are excited about these last 10 days" before the Nov. 2 election, Obama said Thursday night.
The president is on a four-day campaign swing and visiting states where Democratic Party strategists think he's the best person to help encourage core supporters — women, minorities, young people — to vote next month.
At every stop, Obama is reminding audiences of the passion they felt in 2008 when they helped elect him and is urging them to keep the feeling alive amid the weight of the worst economic downturn in a generation.
But the task of turning out voters is harder this time around. Turnout typically is lower in non-presidential election years, and the party in control of the White House traditionally loses seats in Congress in the off years.
The White House is also mindful of what's at stake should the GOP increase its ranks in Congress, or perhaps pick up the 40 seats the party needs to win back control of the House. More Republicans could translate into scant progress on the to-do list for the second half of Obama's presidency.
A crowd of 30,000 people was expected at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles on Friday, the third day of Obama's swing. He is scheduled to speak at a fundraiser for Boxer before addressing a Democratic rally at Alumni Park on campus alongside Boxer and gubernatorial candidate Jerry Brown.
Boxer is in a closely watched fight against Republican Carly Fiorina, the former Hewlett-Packard chief executive. And in a Democratic state where he remains popular, Obama has been generous with his support. He's on his third trip in recent months to help Boxer raise money, and he recently taped a radio ad for her.
From Los Angeles, Obama was flying to Las Vegas to boost Reid in his race against tea party-backed Sharron Angle. Reid is a top Republican target competing in the most closely watched Senate matchup this year.
Reid helped push Obama's economic recovery, health care and financial regulation bills through the Senate but he's paying the price as a result. He is unpopular in his home state, which is suffering economically and is plagued by the nation's highest rates of unemployment (14.4 percent) and home foreclosures.
Reid says Angle's conservative positions on Social Security, Medicare and other issues make her too "extreme" for Nevada and that they will help voters forget their economic problems long enough to send him back to the Senate.
The White House wasn't hiding its preference in the race.
Asked about Angle's recent comment to Hispanic high school students that they look more like Asians, White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said: "They are among some of the stranger comments that we've heard in an otherwise strange election."
Obama spent part of Thursday in Seattle, stumping with Sen. Patty Murray of Washington and courting women voters. Murray also is in a tight re-election fight.
Women traditionally lean toward Democrats but the latest Associated Press-GfK poll shows that, at a time of great economic angst, those who are likely to vote are now split about evenly between Democrats and Republicans.
Obama also addressed a 10,000-person rally for Murray at the University of Washington. He urged supporters not to let that angst lead them to give up too soon on the change he says is happening in Washington.
His voice hoarse from speechmaking, Obama said he knows it's hard for some people to be optimistic about the future when relatives can't find jobs after months of trying or when another foreclosure sign is hung down the street or when they see candidates putting sniping at each other in negative campaign ads.
"But I want, I want everybody to understand this," he said. "I want everybody to understand, you can't let it get to you. Don't ever let anybody tell you that this fight is not worth it. Don't let them tell you that you're not making a difference."
He flew to San Francisco afterward to attend fundraisers at two private homes. The events raised about $1.8 million for the Democratic Party, according to party officials.

Still plenty of retards out there, I guess.
dupe-n. One who is easily deceived or used,– v. To make a dupe of
Retard — 1. (noun) sometimes offensive : a person who is slow or limited in intellectual or emotional development or academic progress
2. A person who disagrees with Griff
You know, Griffy baby, for someone who got thrown out of here not to far back, you certainly have a lot of nerve. Why don't you layoff the pejorative s*** and try being an adult for a change?
"Retard — 1. (noun) sometimes offensive : a person who is slow or limited in intellectual or emotional development or academic progress"
I rest my case.
Feeling a little defensive there, ghl?
Reminds me of the televised acceptance speech night of his election. There were a lot of people there, but only the very middle of the crowd was chanting, cheering, and clearly enjoying themselves. The rest of the crowd appeared perplexed and perhaps just there for the free food and drink.
Don't turn your back on the change happening in Washington.
Some other things come to mind.
Don't pay attention to the lack of change in your pocket.
Don't pay attention to the lack of change in your neighborhood.
Don't pay attention to the lack of change in foreign policy.
Don't pay attention to the lack of change on Wall Street.
Don't pay attention to the lack on change in banking.
Don't pay attention to the lack of change in trade.
Don't pay attention to the 21 percent increase in Federal spending and the record deficit.
Don't pay attention to your falling property values.
Don't pay attention to the average Federal bureaucrat making nearly double what the average American makes.
"But I want, I want everybody to understand this," he said. "I want everybody to understand, you can't let it get to you. Don't ever let anybody tell you that this fight is not worth it. Don't let them tell you that you're not making a difference."
Yes you are making a huge difference. You're wiping out the middle class, making our children debt slaves, expanding the War on Terror into a third world war, and turning our nation into a Police State ruled by fear. Heckava job Barry!
Damn, there was free food and drink? Sorry I missed it.
Spot-on Woody! Nicely expressed too. : )

Let's go PC on this. Developmental Delayed or Disabled is the term now acceptable.
Benny Hinn draws large crowds also. Plenty of sheep to shear and they keep on coming back. Give me that old time religion and politics.
Wonder how many at the faux rallies were union guys/gals "required" to show up but whose heart is just not in it. Haul a sign, smile and get that Italian buffet down at the local after the show.
I have a client that's a big-wig at the VA. We were talking about the upcoming election, and he said he didn't really care about the policies of our representative up for a third term; his lawn was filled with signs of support and he was planning on voting for him simply because ge didn't want to "train" a new guy.

Pamela Anderson Gets Roasted...and Realizes She Wore a See-Through Shirt to Her Party
I've watched the Comedy Central Roast of Pamela Anderson: Uncensored DVD about a dozen times. And I just keep laughing. Lisa Lampanelli, with Pamela Anderson just sitting feet away, went on a tirade that had me on the floor with its obscenity (Albert wrote about that here). And where else can you see Andy Dick get bitch-slapped all across the room while Jimmy Kimmel looks nervous, Adam Carolla gets dinged, and Sarah Silverman looks ready to jump off the couch.
Of course there were the Tommy Lee jokes. (One of them: I'm not saying Pamela Anderson's p***y is big, but I heard her children just walked out of there.). One of my favorites from the show (besides Pam's shirt) was Nick DiPaolo, who did some cringe humor while Courtney Love screamed and squirmed and Pam laughed along.
I'm going to watch that video a lot more. It's definitely worth a look (or two or three). Check out the Comedy Central Roast of Pamela Anderson media player...you can get snippets of the show (but only if you're over 18 kids). I gotta watch that thing again. Too funny.

VONORE, Tenn. (AP) — Dave Hickman couldn't believe his eyes as he stumbled across the shocking find in a secluded patch of woods near Boston, Ind., on Sept. 22, 1955.
Even all these years later, Hickman — now a 73-year-old resident of Vonore — chokes back the emotions as he recounts the haunting discovery that saved a life, spawned a mystery and forged an unlikely bond.
The 14-year-old Hickman and his grandfather, Clay Smith, were wrapping up a hunting trip when they discovered an infant.
They turned the infant over to officials, who then gave her to the Wayne County Welfare Department. The caretakers there named her Roseann Wayne.
About a year later, Hickman saw her for what he thought was the final time when social workers brought Roseann by his school to say goodbye.
However, nearly 60 years later, he's reconnected with her and they're scheduled to meet in May.

The Academy recently submitted comments to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services on its proposal for design of the Essential Health Benefits Package.

Snoop Dogg Denied Access To Australia
August 28th, 2008 | Author: Danielle Harling
For yet another time, rapper Snoop Dogg may possibly be denied entry into another country, this time the Long Beach native has the Immigration Department in Australia a little skeptical.
After initially giving Snoop Dogg's provisional approval on his visa, the Immigration Department in Australia decided that they would instead conduct a full character assessment to see if Snoop would be allowed entry into the country.
According to a spokesperson for the Immigration Department, the full character assessment was a result of public concern.
"Mr. Broadus has not been granted a visa, there are further steps required beyond character assessment before a visa is granted. The department has now decided to do a full assessment of the character of Mr. Broadus," a department spokesperson said. "Community complaints have no effect on the grant or otherwise of a visa. Each application is assessed individually on its merits."

In 2007, Snoop Dogg's visa request to enter the United Kingdom was denied by officials because of an incident with Snoop and his entourage that happened the previous year at Heathrow Airport in London.

Soo getting everything ready for miss Braelyn. I am going to start off breastfeeding or pumping, if that doesn't work I want a back up plan obviously as little miss needs to eat. Carsyn had severe sensitivities and had to go on Nutramigen. I haven't asked the pedi yet but was wondering what experienced mommies thought. I've used Gerber at first with Carsyn and so far have only used enfamil now. He has recently switched back to just soy now. If bfing doesn't work would I try a milk based first or go straight to soy?

The airline's AN-124-100 aircraft operated all of the flights from Port Moresby Airport to the PNG LNG Project's newly-constructed Komo Airfield. The aircraft carried equipment for the project's Hides Gas Conditioning Plant in the highlands of Papua New Guinea.
With each component averaging 60 t in weight, including unique and oversized shipments requiring individual handling solutions, Volga-Dnepr's engineers created a special loading process to carefully place the pieces of equipment into the cargo hold. Additional work was conducted by the airline to minimize the empty weight of the AN-124-100 aircraft, tooling and packaging equipment to maximize the opportunities offered by the freighter's cargo capacity.
For these flights, special loading equipment was developed and manufactured by Volga-Dnepr, and a special trailer was leased to simplify the loading and offloading of cargo, reducing the need to use cranes. Volga-Dnepr also developed solutions to ensure the appropriate maintenance of aircraft at Port Moresby airport during the project.

Inside an Atlanta Industrial Loft
With a raw industrial space as her canvas, Atlanta painter and stylist Thea Beasley spent two decades shaping her most personal masterpiece: a study in the power of a pale palette.
By Marisa Fox
Creative Space
Occasionally, Beasley disrupts the creamy color scheme with hits of black and gray. "Those darker shades bring attitude," she says. "They give white a high heel and make it pop." But it wasn't until she spread milky paint on the floors that Beasley realized the hue's true power: "It made the entire place glow."
In this photo: A 1970s task lamp sheds light on a corner of the library, where Beasley pins inspirational images on a 5' x 9' corkboard. The stools were carved by Senufo tribesmen in Africa. The floors are painted Ultra Pure White by Behr.

The true story of how Texas congressman Charlie Wilson (Tom Hanks) secretly helped to bring about the end of the Cold War. With the assistance of disgruntled CIA agent Gust Avrakotos (Philip Seymour Hoffman) and wealthy Houston socialite Joanne Herring (Julia Roberts), Wilson secured the funding to arm the Afghanistan rebels in their fight against the Russians in the 1980s. "Charlie Wilson's War" is a mildly entertaining and interesting look at events that ultimately changed history. Based on the book by George Crile, this wry political commentary is at its best when Tom Hanks and Philip Seymour Hoffman share screen time. Extremely well-acted, but it is another fine Hanks performance that is eclipsed by Hoffman - who easily grabbed a supporting actor nomination. When the two stars aren't together on screen, the movie slows down considerably. The supporting players add little to the landscape. While it's great to have Julia Roberts back, her radiant moments amount to nothing more than an extended cameo. The enchanting Amy Adams also gets too small a role as personal assistant to the boozing womanizer Wilson, who was surrounded by beautiful women in and out of the office (earning the film its "R" rating). Director Mike Nichols gets the most out of Aaron Sorkin's witty screenplay, which is reminiscent of "The West Wing" (created by Sorkin). But this is not quite "Graduate" work for Nichols.

Evaluation Services
Anita M. Baker, Ed.D. Making program evaluation accessible to all.
Why Evaluation Services?
Evaluation has increasingly been recognized as an important part of organizational work. But access to training about and performance of evaluation, and sustaining enhanced evaluation capacity is often challenging. This is especially true for Nonprofit organizations where resources are stretched thin.
Evaluation Services is a multi-faceted approach I use to support the evaluation-related work of others in Nonprofit and Philanthropic organizations. My goal is to help organizations use evaluation – by serving as an independent external evaluator, as an evaluation partner undertaking participatory evaluation, as a trainer, and/or as an advisor/coach for learning and completion of actual evaluation projects.

Johnny Burke, (3 October 1908 — 25 February 1964), was an lyricist, widely regarded as one of the finest writers of popular songs in America between the 1920s and 1950s. He was born in Antioch, California. When still young, the family moved to Chicago, where Johnny's father founded a construction business. As a youth, he studied the piano, and had some drama studies also. He attended the University of Wisconsin, where he played piano in the orchestra. After graduating he joined the Chicago office of the Irving Berlin Publishing Company in 1926, as a pianist and song salesman.
Irving Berlin, Inc. transferred Johnny to their New York city office where he began to write lyrics in collaboration with composer Harold Spina. In 1932, they wrote "Shadows On The Swanee", followed in 1933 by "Annie Doesn't Live Here Anymore", their first big hit, for the Guy Lombardo Orchestra. In 1934, they wrote "You're Not The Only Oyster In The Stew" which was a novelty hit for Fats Waller, as was "My Very Good Friend, the Milkman". They wrote many songs that were played by leading bands of the day, including those led by Ben Pollack, Paul Whiteman and Ozzie Nelson.
1936 saw the end of the Burke - Spina partnership, as Johnny left for Hollywood. His first partner was Arthur Johnston, he then worked with Jimmy Monaco, but he was to make his mark in collaboration with Jimmy van Heusen.
The team of Burke and Van Heusen turned out some of the great hit tunes of the late 1930's and throughout the 1940's. Johnny was the only major composer to spend his entire career with just one studio, Paramount Pictures. His primary function as a lyricist was working on Bing Crosby films. Of the 41 films on which Johnny worked, 25 starred Bing Crosby, 17 songs from which were substantial hits, including "Pennies From Heaven", "I've Got a Pocketful of Dreams", "Only Forever", "Moonlight Becomes You" and "Sunday, Monday and Always".
Among the landmarks of Johnny Burke's songwriting career were:
In the 1950's, Burke wrote the lyrics for Scatterbrain, with music by Frankie Masters and Keene-Bean and What's New with Bob Haggart (1914-1998). In 1955, Burke added lyrics to a tune by "cool" jazz pianist Errol Garner entitled Misty.
The 1956 film, The Vagabond King was Johnny Burke's last Hollywood work. Eight years later, he died at age 55.
Johnny Burke was inducted into the Songwriters' Hall of Fame in 1970

More than 50 years after the discovery of the double helix, its profit potential remains unrealized. —David Ewing Duncan Martin Krzywinski
This just in: Illumina C.E.O. Jay Flatley has the "sprinting" gene, a cluster of DNA that is associated with professional athletes and Olympic track stars, those human beings whose muscles twitch fast instead of slow. Flatley, a stocky 55-year-old industrial engineer, chuckles at this discovery.
On the other hand, he lacks a fairly common gene variant linked to Type 2 diabetes. That's good news, he says, zooming in on a virtual human body that's now floating on his computer screen. He clicks on the figure's leg, and up pops a page describing the gene for restless legs syndrome, a malady that causes some people to flail around at night, resulting in sleeplessness. The webpage includes graphics, descriptions, and links to studies and references, including PubMed, an online health science library. "This site will tell me if I have a gene for obesity," he says, "or whether my earwax is wet or dry. I'm not kidding."
My fast but fantastic voyage through the inner Flatley comes during a visit to his company's San Diego headquarters, where he has allowed me to peek at an early version of the site being developed by a Silicon Valley startup, 23andMe, which is named after the number of paired chromosomes in every human. In stealth mode until a launch planned for later this year, 23andMe is using Illumina's powerful gene-reading chips to build a company that is among several hoping to cash in on personalized genomics—the tailoring of an individual's health care and lifestyle based on DNA and biomarkers.
When 23andMe goes live, customers will be asked to spit into short plastic tubes or to swab cells from inside their cheeks and mail in the sample. 23andMe will then analyze the data in relation to reams of information about ailments, treatments, diet, and ancestry and compare the results with those of thousands of others who have been tested for genes associated with diseases and other traits.

January 4th, 2011
Do you receive Disability Living Allowance?
The Broken of Britain is putting together a submission to the Public Consultation, with the support of our sister organisation Carer Watch , on DLA reform, closing on the 14th of February. The draft submission will be launched on TBofB and CW forums this Friday, 7th of January. It will remain open for discussion, criticism, editing and general tearing-apart until the 7th of February, giving a week for it to be edited before being sent off. Because TBofB and CW are user-led, we want everyone who logs into our forum to have their own say and advance their own arguments because this grassroots solidarity can only make us stronger.
For now, some tidying up is being carried out to make sure that the document is presentable and sensible. What is missing from the submission is proper user testimonies. I'd like to appeal to all readers for testimonies, which will, of course, remain anonymous in the end-document. We need: Read the full article…
+ One Month Before Heartbreak – a great success
January 16th, 2011
Carer Watch are fully supportive of our sister group The Broken of Britain's' blogswarm this weekend regarding the changes to Disability Living Allowance proposed by the government. Whilst we are primarily a carer campaigning group, many persons who live with disability are also members.
For disabled people and carers tied to the home, the World Wide Web is a great campaigning tool and we intend to continue using it as so. We have all found each other on the web so we decided to work alongside each other on issues that will affect our lives, and to make ourselves heard.
The blogswarm is an excellent initiative of Emma Crees, and full details of support given to date can be found here on One Month Before Heartbreak blog.
A master list is available and is being updated constantly.
It has most definitely been a weekend to remember – to witness many individuals, groups, bloggers all joining together to support One Month Before Heartbreak.
Face book and Twitter were inundated with posts/tweets and hash tags used included #ombh and #TboB.
The petition re DLA has been well supported too.

+ Kaliya Franklin speaks out about DLA reform
January 13th, 2011
While Millbank swarmed with student protestors and Mumsnet buzzed angrily about the reductions to child benefit, away from the glare of publicity, disabled people and carers mourned alone. The cuts to benefits and services affecting us really are a matter of life and death, so why the wider silence? Perhaps it's because the benefits to be slashed are poorly understood and after years of tabloid scrounger stories the assumption is that people who claim them are living a lifestyle choice of state-sponsored ease.

One Month Before Heartbreak ……..is taking place from 14th – 16th January 2011. This is a blog swarm (or blog carnival) style event somewhat similar to Blogging Against Disablism Day (BADD). A Blog swarm is where people come together to post on their own blogs about the same issue and then share the links on a master list.Drastic cuts have been announced in the UK to help reduce the monetary deficit. The proposed cuts appear to disproportionately target the more vulnerable members of society, including disabled people.

We, the undersigned, urge the Minister for Disabled People to recall the Public Consultation on Disability Living Allowance (DLA) reform, and to cease work on reform of this benefit, due to serious flaws in the consultation paper. As such, the consultation questions are deeply skewed and any answers will be likely to support wholesale reform. This is both unfair and unwise, and will cause hardship for many disabled people.

Dear Neil,
Within 7 days we have had the current government saying in the DLA consultation that it is too costly to sustain payments to disabled people of DLA, basically our lives are too costly to the state, and now the Independent Living Fund is to be scrapped by 2015 to save £330 million.
This is at the same time as local authority budgets are being slashed and care funding is being already cut drastically. Read the full article…

Even though many other currencies are downgrading currently, gold traders have enjoyed experiencing gold value boost. Which means it's best for investing in, and it will come in handy if you need to sell it for profit really. Considering transacting in gold, you have to keep certain things at heart. The tips that follow shall help you find out the gold market.
Gold prices often change quickly, so know the existing value before you try to sell any. If you are looking to get gold sold, understand that various karat values are going separately to have to be weighed. A designer item, must not be sold as the item all together because it could possibly be worth a lot more than just the gold.
Research every gold buyer you are thinking about using and check around for an established buyer. Better Business Representatives can provide your details about issues made against an ongoing company and how those complaints were resolved. Once you get bids coming from multiple buyers, you might be in a position to get top price for the gold.
Once you purchase gold, it is critical to set a reasonably stringent timetable for delivery of that metal. To make sure timely delivery demand a verification on the shipping date. You need to be given the estimated particular date of delivery. Usually do not complete the order if you don't have this on paper.
Only buy yellow metal jewelry if it can be returned by you. It's feasible for a specific piece eventually ends up being improperly sized or just unappreciated by its receiver. If the receipt is had by you, they are able to trade in the piece for anything more with their liking easily.
Avoid sell to entities that aren't licensed by government to get gold. Although anybody could rip you off, the probabilities are slim whenever using a person who is licensed. There are of many buyers for gold, so usually do not believe that you must create a sale to the initial buyer that you meet.
Never neglect the basic idea of hunting in antique stores or flea markets to get gold. In case you have a discerning eye, it is possible to locate great pieces. Lots of people donate or sell at these shops for low prices because of being unacquainted with what they own. It is possible to take advantage of the seller's loss in the event that you research a little.
Know very well what you have. Not absolutely all pieces that look like gold are really worth their particular weight in gold. Sometimes other metals may be mixed into gold to create it stronger. This may make the purchase price a complete lot lower. Gold plated items can also be deceiving. If have no idea what you have, own it appraised before it is sold by you.
It is simple to test whether a gold little bit of jewelry is real with a simple magnet. If the item is real gold, the magnet shall not be drawn to it. The clasp of a bit is solid sometimes, the rest will undoubtedly be plated however. By using this technique shall help make sure your pieces are solid gold.
You can see why the marketplace for gold has continued to be so strong. Yellow metal grows in value, offering terrific returns. Be sure you follow these great precious metal trading ideas to take full advantage of the gold market. The advice is had by this article you need, but only when you utilize it.

Homeland Security:
Preliminary Information on Federal Actions to Address Challenges Faced by State and Local Information Fusion Centers
GAO-07-1241T: Published: Sep 27, 2007. Publicly Released: Sep 27, 2007.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-6510
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
In general, a fusion center is a collaborative effort to detect, prevent, investigate, and respond to criminal and terrorist activity. Recognizing that fusion centers are a mechanism for information sharing, the federal government--including the Program Manager for the Information Sharing Environment (PM-ISE), who has primary responsibility for governmentwide information sharing, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and the Department of Justice (DOJ)--is taking steps to partner with fusion centers. This testimony is based on GAO's draft report on state and local fusion centers. It addresses (1) the status and characteristics of the centers and (2) to what extent federal efforts help alleviate challenges fusion centers identified. In conducting this work GAO reviewed center-related documents and conducted interviews with officials from DHS, DOJ, and the PM-ISE, and semistructured interviews with 58 state and local fusion centers.
Most states and many local governments have established fusion centers to address gaps in information sharing. Fusion centers across the country vary in their stages of development--from operational to early in the planning stages. Officials in 43 of the centers GAO contacted described their centers as operational, and 34 of these centers had opened since January 2004. Law enforcement entities, such as state police or state bureaus of investigation, are the lead or managing agencies in the majority of the operational centers GAO contacted. However, the centers varied in their staff sizes and partnerships with other agencies. At least 34 of the 43 operational fusion centers we contacted reported that they had federal personnel assigned to their centers. Products disseminated and services provided vary. DHS and DOJ have several efforts under way that begin to address some of the challenges fusion center officials identified. DHS and DOJ have provided many fusion centers access to their information systems, but fusion center officials cited challenges accessing and managing multiple information systems. Both DHS and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) have provided security clearances for state and local personnel and set timeliness goals. However, officials cited challenges obtaining and using security clearances. Officials in 43 of the 58 fusion centers contacted reported facing challenges related to obtaining personnel, and officials in 54 fusion centers reported challenges with funding, some of which affected these centers' sustainability. They said that these issues made it difficult to plan for the future, and created concerns about the fusion centers' ability to sustain their capability for the long term. To support fusion centers, both DHS and FBI have assigned personnel to the centers. To help address funding issues, DHS has made several changes to address restrictions on the use of federal grant funds. These individual agency efforts help address some of the challenges with personnel and funding. However, the federal government has not clearly articulated the long-term role it expects to play in sustaining fusion centers. It is critical for center management to know whether to expect continued federal resources, such as personnel and grant funding, since the federal government, through an information sharing environment, expects to rely on a nationwide network of centers to facilitate information sharing with state and local governments. Finally, DHS, DOJ, and the PM-ISE have taken steps to develop guidance and provide technical assistance to fusion centers, for instance by issuing guidelines for establishing and operating centers. However, officials at 31 of the 58 centers said they had challenges training their personnel, and officials at 11 centers expressed a need for the federal government to establish standards for fusion center analyst training to help ensure that analysts have similar skills. DHS and DOJ have initiated a technical assistance program for fusion centers. They have also developed a set of baseline capabilities, but the document is in draft as of September.

Signature Acoustics Elements Series C-12
" The C-12s are the first IEM from Indian company, Signature Acoustics. The C-12s use a hand-made wooden housing and a great looking wooden Y-split and slider. At around $60 (AUD) they are a budget IEM which is impressive given their hand-made and all wood design, but the sound is just a little way off from being something to get excited about.

SAN DIEGO, September 1, 2013 – It wasn't as if Joao Sousa of Portugal played that poorly against Novak Djokovic of Serbia. Djokovic is simply so good he can take apart even a skilled tennis player on the other side of the net.
It only took Djokovic 28 minutes to win the first set in his U.S. Open match against Sousa, 6-0. The friendly crowd in New York started cheering Sousa on to encourage him, roaring with every point won. He managed to win two games in the second set, and he broke Djokovic's serve in the third set. These were mere speed bumps. Djokovic cruised on to win in three straight sets, 6-0, 6-2, 6-2 in one hour and 41 minutes.

Sousa, age 24, will learn a lot from this drubbing. He didn't embarrass himself despite the score, and American fans should look forward to seeing this likable young player again.
After the match, Djokovic said "It's always a privilege to be in Arthur Ashe Stadium. Before you come out on the court in a night session, you feel an extreme responsibility to play well and entertain the crowd. Hopefully you all enjoyed it tonight.
"It's the biggest stadium we have in the sport, 23,000 seats. I don't even see the top of the stadium. But I can hear you very well … New York offers a unique vibe, especially in the night.," said Djokovic.
Djokovic moves on to play 43rd-ranked Marcel Granollers of Spain, who defeated the last American men's singles player in the field, Timothy Smyczek, 6-4, 4-6, 0-6, 6-3, 7-5. The audience did its best to cheer Smyczek on in the decisive final set, but Granollers played gritty point after point and simply wore him down. All 15 American men are out, the first time an American men's singles player has failed to make the Round of 16 in the tournament's history since it began in 1881.
Mikhail Youzhny of Russia defeated Tommy Haas of Germany in another entertaining and competitive match. Youzhny will now face Australian Lleyton Hewitt in a battle of 30-something veterans in the Round of 16.
In the final marquee matchups of Sunday evening, Li Na had little trouble defeating Jelena Jankovic in straight sets, 6-3, 6-0. She joked after the match she passed up her normal pre-match pasta for rice, and it must have made the difference.
Agnieszka Radwanska simply can't make it past the fourth round in New York. She suffered a 6-4, 6-4 loss to 24th-seeded Ekaterina Makarova of Russia. It was the fourth time since 2007 that Radwanska left Flushing Meadows in the fourth round.
Vying for a spot in the Round of 16 quarterfinals in games Monday: second seed Victoria Azarenka, surprise wild card Alison Riske of the U.S., Daniela Hantuchova of Slovakia, and Ana Ivanovic of Serbia. Three Italian ladies are still in it: Flavia Pennetta, Camila Giorgi, and Roberta Vinci. On the men's side, three Spanish players remain. Rafael Nadal will play Philipp Kohlschreiber of Germany; Roger Federer will play Tommy Robredo, and David Ferrer will play Janko Tipsarevic. Richard Gasquet of France and Milos Raonic will square off in a top ten match-up.
