AOL Jumps on Patch Pullback, Gannet Falls, Pogue Says Goodbye: Media Roundup
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- AOL was jumping Monday as investors embraced the media company's decision to pare down its money-losing, much maligned locally-focused news operation, Patch.com.
AOL was gaining 3% to $34.97 in mid-day trading after a company-wide memo announced that Patch would only retain staff covering the "very best towns with the highest traffic and revenue" in its top 14 markets, regions that include New York City, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Boston.
"They've made this pledge and have had it high on their priority list to at least make Patch neutral, break even," said Robert Peck, Sun Trust Robinson managing director and Internet analyst in a phone interview. "Patch will ultimately be a smaller platform than it was originally intended to be. I like that their scaling it back but it raises the bigger question whether ultimately is it worth keeping alive at all even on a neutral basis."
Peck rates AOL shares as "neutral," explaining that the company's efforts to expand into video in hopes of boosting advertising revenue has yet to play.
Patch employs reporters to cover local news events such as school-board meetings, town governments and community happenings as a means to sell advertising space to businesses that historically have shied away from the Internet. AOL has thrown more than $300 million into developing Web sites for small towns and neighborhoods that may be under-covered. Though the AOL division that includes Patch more than doubled its revenue in the third quarter, Patch's costs have weighed on profits.
AOL Chief Executive Tim Armstrong, who helped found Patch, had pledged to make the news operation profitable in the fourth quarter. In August, during a phone call with Patch's roughly 1,000 employees in which he fired the company's creative director, Armstrong announced that 400 Patch sites out of total of about 900 would be closed.
The AOL memo came from AOL executive Bud Rosenthal who took over as Patch's director in August, replacing former editor-in-chief Steven Kalin.
"Thee is the issue of founder-conflict with Patch and Tim, but I think he's been pretty upfront for a while now that he knows that he has to run the company for the AOL shareholders. i don't think that will sway his opinion here, which is why he has already agreed to make it smaller so that it's not bleeding cash for the company."
Rosenthal said AOL continues to negotiate with potential partners to keep some Patch offices open, even those not in a major media market. Armstrong in August first mentioned that AOL was in talks with other media groups to share or takeover certain Patch Web sites.
TheStreet's Jim Cramer also recently championed AOL saying on CNBC on Oct. 18 saying that the company "has come a long way from being a mere dial-up Internet provider."
(GCI) is eagerly transitioning into a television broadcaster but in the meantime, the McLean, Virginia-based company's earnings will be weighed down by the realities of the newspaper business.
Shares of Gannet were losing 4.4% to $26.28 after the publisher of <i>USA Today</i> said advertising at its newspaper fell 5.9% in the three months ended Sept. 30 to $520.2 million. Overall revenue in publishing dropped 3.6% to $858 million. Excluding major events in 2012 led by the Olympics, broadcast revenue for the quarter rose 14% over the year-ago quarter to $203 million.
Future earnings will include the television stations acquired during the quarter when Gannett purchased Belo, the Dallas-based media company for $2.215 billion including debt.
New York Times (NYT), owner of the newspaper by the same name, was slipping 0.4% to $13.44 as Yahoo! (YHOO) announced the hiring of the newspaper's well-regarded technology columnist David Pogue. Yahoo! CEO Marissa Mayer hired Pogue to lead a "major expansion of consumer tech coverage" at the online media company. In July, Nate Silver, the statistics guru who easily outshined other more established polling operators during the 2012 presidential election, left the newspaper to join Wal Disney's ESPN, bringing his popular FiveThirtyEight blog with him.

The mortal remains of Bal Thackeray were consigned to flames on Sunday evening with thousands of mourners joining the Shiv Sena founder�s family in bidding a tearful farewell and Mumbai observing a virtual shutdown.
A sea of humanity, unprecedented in recent memory, descended on the streets leading from the Thackerays� Bandra residence Matoshree to Shivaji Park to catch a last glimpse of the Sena chief. It took the cortege nearly eight hours to cover the 10-km stretch.
Loud roars of �Parat ya parat ya Balasaheb parat ya (Come back, come back, Balasaheb come back)�, �Kon ala re, kon ala Shiv Senecha wagh ala (Who has come, who has come, Shiv Sena�s tiger has come)� and �Balasaheb amar rahe (long live Balasaheb)� rent the air as Uddhav, Thackeray�s youngest son and the Sena�s executive president, lit the pyre.
In attendance were political leaders and celebrities from across the board, from allies to rivals, film stars to captains of the industry. The government had allowed the funeral to take place at Shivaji Park � Mumbai�s first public funeral since Bal Gangadhar Tilak�s in 1920 � and accorded him a state funeral. A contingent of Mumbai Police gave a gun salute and buglers sounded the last post, a rare honour for somebody who never held any official position.
Long-time political rival and personal friend Sharad Pawar was there as were the BJP�s Nitin Gadkari, L K Advani, Sushma Swaraj, Arun Jaitley, Narendra Modi and Shivraj Singh Chauhan. Union ministers Praful Patel and Rajiv Shukla were also present. Governor K Sankaranarayanan and Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan placed wreathes on the Sena patriarch�s body.
Superstar Amitabh Bachchan, with whom Thackeray shared a long-standing bond, actor Nana Patekar, filmmakers Madhur Bhandarkar and Mahesh Manjrekar, industrialists Anil Ambani and Venugopal Dhoot and Zee�s Subhash Chandra reached Shivaji Park hours ahead of the funeral.
Ex-Sena leader Chhagan Bhujbal, who had got Thackeray arrested after becoming the NCP�s deputy chief minister, and Congress MP Sanjay Nirupam, who also broke away from the saffron party, were among those present.
Mumbai itself had turned into virtually a ghost city, with not a taxi or an autorickshaw in sight and markets, restaurants, cinema theatres and muliplexes remaining closed.
As the firebrand leader�s final journey began from Matoshree, Uddhav could not control emotions and broke down atop the flower-bedecked truck carrying among others his wife Rashmi and sons Tejas and Aditya, the �Yuva Sena� chief.
Conspicuous by his absence from the truck carrying a massive poster of Thackeray against the image of the tiger, the Sena�s symbol, was MNS boss Raj Thackeray, who chose to walk some distance with the mourners before leaving to take care of arrangements for the funeral at Shivaji Park.
As the procession inched towards Shiv Sena Bhavan, the party headquarters, tens of thousands of supporters and onlookers lined the streets, balconies and flyovers, with many clambering atop lamp posts and trees to get a glimpse. Many showered the mourners with flower petals.
The cortege made a brief halt at the headquarters, built by Thackeray in 1977, where his body was kept for top party leaders to pay homage. It was out of bounds for the common Sena workers.
The pyre was erected on a platform at the very place from where Thackeray addressed Sena workers during his famous Dussehra rallies and where he delivered his first speech to his rabble-rousing supporters after the launch of the party on June 19, 1966.
The doctors who made a failed attempt to save Thackeray�s life and who looked after him for years were the first to pay floral tributes to him when his body draped in the national flag and sporting a red Tilak and his trademark dark glasses was kept on a stage before the final rites were performed.
Thackeray�s servant Thapa stood along with Uddhav and Raj, Sena patriarch�s estranged son Jaidev and grandsons. Raj, who had walked out of Shiv Sena after Thackeray anointed Uddhav his successor in 2004, broke down when the pyre was lit.
Suffering from respiratory and pancreatic problems, Thackeray passed away on Saturday, losing a four-day battle for life.

Grouper get together Last night Betabeat ventured to Chez André at The Standard for a popup speakeasy for Grouper, an online "social club" that matches groups of friends up with each other for a night out on the town. The crowd appeared to be populated by the well-groomed facet of the technology sector–maybe it was heavy on the fintech and fashtech arenas?–with besuited bros and well-dressed ladies sipping drinks from the open bar and swaying along to Icona Pop.
In the crowd we spotted Kim Taylor of Bravo's foray into tech TV, Start-Ups: Silicon Valley. Ms. Taylor told us that she was recently accepted into Techstars' next class for her new edtech startup Ranku, and that she'd relocated to the West Village just this week. Digg general manager Jake Levine kept us company as we waited in the interminable line for the bar. Rap Genius's Tom Lehman and Dan Berger showed up, as did Google's Clarissa Striker, BuzzFeed's Hillary Reinsberg and Paperless Post's James Hirschfeld.
When they started handing out the glowsticks and Grouper sunglasses, we knew it was time to make our exit, so off into the torrential downpour it was.
Unleash the Beast Fans of Beast Zuckerberg rejoice: The animate dustmop is now the subject of his very own pack of Facebook stickers. TechCrunch writer Josh Constine, for one, is pretty psyched about this development: "Personally, I'm going to throw around Beast chasing his tail when a friend is being indecisive, and the puppy dog eyes when I need a favor. Please please pleeeease can I be your +1 to the sold-out concert?"
Call us when we can send messages via Facebook fox.
Doxxed Bad news for Snapchat sexters: with the new version of iOS, you won't be able to know if your Snapchat partner has screencapped your sexy snap or not. That didn't seem to bother BuzzFeed president Jon Steinberg, who apparently sent an inappropriate snap to Thrillist cofounder Ben Lerer:
Sadly, it doesn't appear that Mr. Lerer screencapped it.
Desperately seeking relevance Showing off honey-blond waves and facial skin that looks like it's treated with human stem cell lotion every morning, none other than Madonna Louise Veronica Ciccone Instagrammed a pic of herself, hands on hips, looking sassy. It wasn't just any Instagram, though, as this one bore a message: "On my way to VICE to strategize for launch of #secretproject! The Revolution is coming soon!"
What on earth could this mean? Well, Ms. Ciccone has been rapping about a "revolution" and "compassion" and "love" and other Chicken Soup words on her Insta for some time now. If VICE is getting involved, maybe this means Madge will be donning a bustier and driving around in a sketchy van, snarking on people's outfits? That would be great. But knowing VICE's new direction, and hers too, it's probably got more to do with a documentary to expose human rights violations in third-world countries. Which is acceptable, too.
Heads up to VICE, though: don't be the dicks who say Her Madgesty looks amazing "for her age." One person commented under the photo, "still beautiful!!", and that person is probably dead now.
Post-moRTem The epic shitstorm surrounding Alec Baldwin and his wife may have been caused by a technical glitch. Read: all involved are blaming Twitter.
After a MailOnline reporter wrote that Mr. Baldwin's wife, Hilaria, had tweeted during James Gandolfini's funeral service, the erstwhile Jack Donaghy freaked the fuck out, unleashing a homophobic string of obscenities aimed at reporter George Stark.
But the Baldwins assert that the original four offended tweets from Mrs. Baldwin, which covered issues like smoothies, Rachael Ray, the "circle of life" and wedding anniversaries, bore the wrong timestamps and it was ALL. TWITTER'S. FAULT.
Mrs. Baldwin swears she didn't send the tweets during the funeral and that a Twitter glitch caused them to bear the wrong timestamp, with each one marked three hours earlier than it was actually sent. MailOnline has released a statement accepting her assertions and calling the situation a "genuine misunderstanding caused by a baffling defect in the Twitter platform."
Let's repeat Mr. Baldwin's homophobic remarks lest anyone forget: he said that the Mail reporter who originally wrote the story, George Stark, was a "lying little fairy." Mr. Baldwin also said he'd like to place his foot inside Mr. Stark's butt, "but you'd dig it too much." Quite a vivid imagination you've got there, Alec.
Oh, Ohanian We're at a loss to explain the latest tribute to Alexis Ohanian, CEO of Reddit and would-be President of the Internet. He writes on his Facebook page: "Zach Weiner did a draw-off on /r/comics to promote his awesome new kickstarter campagin — somehow I got roped into it." The result, we warn you, cannot be unseen:
LOLvatics Walking hot mess Demi Lovato paid a visit to BuzzFeed headquarters this week, and their employees made damn sure you knew about it, too. A bevy of excited BuzzFeeders tweeted out pictures of Ms. Lovato's visit in preparation for, I guess, her album? Maybe it was for the new season of X Factor? Whatever. I do know they deemed her a "celebrity contributor," so hopefully the pay is better than for being a "community contributor." Regardless, we're excited to see her listicles of Simon Cowell's expressions.
Woz's wheels All that billionaire Steve Wozniak wants for this birthday is a Tesla Model S. He shied away from buying one earlier this year, which prompted the company's founder, Elon Musk, to write a pissy letter complaining that he was buying a "gas guzzler" and that he "wasn't a Silicon Valley boy." Way harsh, Tai! He isn't totally against getting a Tesla in the future, telling the Verge his wife might buy him one in August for his birthday. Maybe Zooey can take him for an inaugural spin?

(Anthem Art and Culture), by Gary Morris (Editor), Bert Cardullo (Introduction), Jonathan Rosenbaum (Foreword). London and New York: Anthem Press, 2009.
David Hudson, IFC.com
1. In Alien,an incredulous Ripley asks Ash's dismembered head if he admires the alien. Ash replies that he does, and then he offers an apt description of antagonists in general: He says the alien is admirable because it is "a survivor, unclouded by conscience, remorse, and delusions of morality." What could be more frightening from a human perspective?
2. Dr. Hannibal Lecter is one such exception. Might his uniqueness still have adaptive significance? Early in The Silence of the Lambs, Dr. Chilton tells Agent Starling that the man in the cell next to Lecter's died after he swallowed his own tongue. The tongue is of course an important language-shaping organ, but that it is also intended to symbolize the power of language to "inflict costs" is suggested by a further detail: Shortly before the man's death, another inmate reported that he heard Lecter "whispering." The implication is that Lecter killed the inmate with language. In The Mating Mind, Geoffrey Miller argues that the brain is also a sexual organ and that its most sophisticated products (literature, music, art, etc.) are like a peacock's tail insofar as they indicate fitness. Thus, while it is true we fear Lecter's physical power, we likely also fear his intelligence: Being out-thought is often an antecedent to being killed.
3. I do not wish to resurrect stereotypes of the shark as a bloodthirsty killer of humans. Obviously, great white and other sharks have been known to kill humans, but I wonder if our fear of them doesn't actually stem from our prehuman history, that is, before life emerged from the ocean and became terrestrial.
4. If we can have too little time to gather information, we can have too much time, as well. A shot that is held in excess of the time needed to detect a threat creates apprehension by delimiting possible responses, specifically the impulse to flee.
5. In fairness to Cantor and Oliver, the reason they do not pursue this line of inquiry is because the purpose of their essay is to advance a "conditioning explanation" that outlines the elements of "what may be considered the essence of the horror film." But how can we talk about the essence of the horror film without also talking about the essence of the animals watching them? And then there is the curious use of the adjective even, as if Cantor and Oliver were surprised by Hebb's finding that one of our closest relatives, the chimpanzee, shares our fears.
6. An interesting parallel to Buss' argument is the scene in Jaws when Quint and Hooper compare their scars and share the stories of how they got them. In their essay "Scars for War: Evaluating Alternative Signaling Explanations for Cross-cultural Variance in Ritual Costs," Sosis, Kress, and Boster "show that whether wars are fought within cultural groups or against other cultural groups is an important determinant of whether or not male rites result in permanent visible marks, such as ritual scars. We argue that costly male rites signal commitment and promote solidarity among males who must organize for warfare" (234). Thus, scars might help to communicate fitness by signaling to others (males and females alike) that the bearer has withstood "environmental stressors."
7. Fear responses are also affected by such factors as age, gender, and physiology.
8. Townspeople referred to Camp Crystal Lake, the setting of Friday the 13th, as Camp Blood.

It has become an article of faith that American students need more education to make it in today's knowledge-based global economy. In school districts throughout the county, that has translated to a message that all students today must aim for college. But has the "college for all" mantra gone too far? That's the conclusion of a new report that's making big waves nationally throughout education and skill-training circles.
Pathways to Prosperity, a report issued last week by Harvard's Graduate School of Education, says a one-size-fits-all focus on college for all students has been a disaster, with many students wasting time and money in pursuit of degrees they never obtain. Meanwhile, the college mantra has crowded out discussion of paths to a wide range of careers in growing fields such as health care that require post-high school training but far less schooling than a four-year degree program or even a two-year associate's degree granted by community colleges. "A narrowly defined 'college for all' goal – one that does not include a much stronger focus on career-oriented programs that lead to occupational credentials – seems doomed to fail," says the report.
The report lauds President Obama for calibrating his remarks on education just right. In his 2009 State of the Union address, Obama implored every American to "commit to at least one year or more of higher education or career training." With that, says the report, "the president is acknowledging that the 'college for all' rhetoric that has been so much a part of the current education reform movement needs to be significantly broadened to become a 'post high-school credential for all.'"
"If we persist with the illusion that everyone is going to college, then we're cheating those kids who aren't going," Harvard Professor Ron Ferguson told the Christian Science Monitor. "A majority of the workforce does not have a college degree, and a majority of the things those people do are going to continue not requiring a college degree," said Ferguson, one of the leaders of the Pathways project.
The report is sure to set off debate between those endorsing the report and urban education leaders and advocates who worry that low-income kids will be steered prematurely toward non-college career tracks. Today's Globe reports on proposals for new charter schools submitted by some of Boston's high-performing charter operators. Classrooms at the Edward Brooke Charter School in Roslindale are decorated with banners promoting each class's college graduation year.
But that kind of relentless college focus is, unfortunately, far more the exception in high-poverty schools than the rule, say some critics of the report. "Nobody who spends much time in America's high schools could possibly argue that they are focused on college for all, or ever have been," Kati Haycock, president of The Education Trust, a Washington, DC-based think tank, told the Associated Press in reaction to the report. "Most schools still resist that idea, instead continuing long-standing, unfair practices of sorting and selecting like an educational caste system - directing countless young people, especially low-income students and students of color, away from college-prep courses and from seeing themselves as 'college material.'"

The company grew from a national provider of lighting to a global innovator in parallel with the economic and cultural development of the United States as a whole. Keywords provide navigation through thousands of scanned pages that describe and depict everyday appliances, pioneering machines, and the people who built them and used them. Spanning the years from 1892—when the term "Lighting" directs a reader to GE's development of an elevated electric railway for the Chicago World's Fair—to 2011, when the term "Electricity" highlights how GE technology now provides a quarter of the world's electricity, these reports provide a compelling view into GE's history of building, moving, powering, and curing.

This photo released by the Kenya Presidency shows the collapsed upper car park of the Westgate Mall in Nairobi, Kenya Thursday, Sept. 26, 2013. Working near bodies crushed by rubble in a bullet-scarred, scorched mall, FBI agents continued fingerprint, DNA and ballistic analysis to help determine the identities and nationalities of victims and al-Shabab gunmen who attacked the shopping center, killing more than 60 people. (AP Photo/Kenya Presidency)
NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) — A top Kenyan government official says investigators have recovered a vehicle believed to have been used by the terrorists who attacked Nairobi's Westgate Mall.
The official said Friday investigators are tracing the car's ownership after it was retrieved outside the mall. He said there may be other vehicles used by the attackers, but gave no more details.
The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not allowed to reveal such details while the investigation is ongoing.
Kenyan police have given little information since Saturday's attack that killed more than 67 people.
FBI agents —along with investigators from Britain, Canada and Germany —have been dispatched to investigate the crime scene. There have been no details on what the international team has found so far in the bullet-scarred, scorched mall.

These invites are misleading. I expected to be able to print them out at home, but just as the other reviewers mentioned, the ink smeared. Plus, they don't come with printing instructions nor were there any online. Plan B: I printed on nice card stock and glued them onto the invites to put the nice border to use. I did like the shiny red on the inner flaps of the envelopes, and in the end, they came out alright. My daughter liked them.
I agree with Babs! Worst Ever… I tried printing, Laser, Ink Jet, even Photo Ink… and Handwritten; Sharpie, Ball Point, and Gel pen – Nothing will stick to this slick surface! Wish I had seen her review before I bought these useless invitations.

Cost Justification
Making a Case for Color in Large Format Digital Print
We�ve been in the printing industry for many years, and it still amazes us that there is no standard methodology for generating return on investment (ROI), or a value justification for the capital equipment, which becomes the lifeblood of the industry.
We are particularly concerned because digital print shops are different from traditional offset shops. Many are relatively new companies, not familiar with deriving value from expensive assets. These providers represent the two- to three-man shops purchasing larger roll-fed and/or sheet-fed, flatbed digital devices and associated finishing equipment. More than ever, buying the right equipment can mean the difference between success and financial failure.
A Vendor�s ViewThe sales force for a prominent digital printer company recently stumbled through an ROI definition. This team included brand new members to those with 30 years of experience. With all of their collective academic and industry knowledge, getting them to agree on how to measure ROI for one of the products didn�t come easily. It�s no wonder, then, why digital print providers have a hard time determining how to value a new addition to their equipment base.
A newcomer volunteered to develop a cost justification/ROI plan as part of his entry into the sales of the wide format oriented digital printing workflow component. From the group, he solicited details on the system regarding performance, as well as information about the volume of jobs that might be produced. He also spoke with customers about productivity enhancements through their new purchase.
The result was a very comprehensive, yet almost meaningless spreadsheet that the faint of heart or the typical customer would never understand or utilize. The company�s CEO indicated tactfully that the model looked comprehensive, but needed to be simplified.
Input from the more experienced members of the team was quite interesting. One of the senior sales people suggested, "I have typically built ROI models based on the cost of doing the task today versus what it would cost using the system that I was selling."
A second senior employee responded, "This stuff seems a bit complicated for me. Here�s what I would do. Produce an ROI spreadsheet designed for the first time buyer, as they are the vast majority of the sales we close. I�d make it simple enough so the prospect can take it home, run the numbers in the comfort of his office, and come to his own conclusions." This employee added that they would, "build it around five things�elimination of the cost of the prior method of accomplishing the same results; elimination of the uncertainty of having differing labor styles affect the results and their cost; gaining back the floor space taken by the prior methodology; reduction of lead time to get a job finished and delivered; and the ability to profitably take very short run orders."
These ideas were more comprehensive than the first comment, but they really didn�t change the idea of the first suggestion. They both took the easy way out. Yes, it should be very easy to justify a product that has real value as suggested. Their ideas make sense and most prospects are probably happy with such suggestions. Most sales people do it a similar way; this simplicity promotes sales. But, is that really all that should be in a cost justification?
The neophyte sales person had the right basic idea, but the wrong method of presentation. He was concerned with understanding all of the issues that might affect the decision to buy, based upon customer needs and product strengths. He covered what the more seasoned salespeople suggested, but also covered specific product competitive advantages that added to the product�s value and decreased its true costs.
He missed some important issues that go beyond simple product and process comparisons. We refer to such methodology as lifetime cost modeling, requiring us to look at a myriad of other issues such as competitive products, life cycle times, workflow, productivity, and more. The neophyte missed another facet�unique issues that affect how one buyer should look at ROI, including alternate uses for money and other business models for the company.
Sales vs. CostNaturally, an experienced sales person will try to do the simplest job. Not because he is trying to be deceptive, but because he believes the customer will understand it better. We can also look at this as a kind of sales justification vs. cost justification. Sales justification uses data to show that spending money saves money. A cost justification recognizes that the money could be used in other ways, and does not just compare buying with not buying.
Cost justification can hardly be based on history. In many cases, the sale of a new digital printer is to a company that has never used the equipment before. True justification for those moving into uncharted territory should be based on comparing the product to competitive alternatives. Other factors include speed in relation to volume, service, training, reliability, and connectivity. The product should match the customer�s real life usage, the market it will sell to, anticipated volume, and the capabilities of the customer.
Items to ConsiderThe issues to consider when determining ROI and a purchase are vast. We�ve outlined a handful to think about.
Business: Is this product the best use of your money? Would it be more important to buy something else that might have an even higher payback?
Product: How does the product fit into the current/projected workload?
Product Performance: What about reliability? The wait for service outside of a major city may be excessive, and purchasing more reliable equipment can be justified, even at a higher cost.
Lifetime Cost: What is the life expectancy for the unit, as well as the cost to maintain the unit over time?
Competitive Product Cycle: Some products get significant changes every few years, while others change less rapidly, or can be updated. An older product may also be obsolete sooner.
Product Breadth: Consider added features that give you more products to offer and ways to make money.
Business Performance: What about connectivity? Does the product stand alone or fit within current workflow?
Vendor: What is the particular vendor�s financial position, size, experience, scope of technical support, as compared to the competition?
Geographic: Can the business model hold up with competition? Does it give you a competitive advantage?
In ConclusionThere�s a lot to this so-called simple matter of cost justification. No matter how we�d like it, it may not be as simple as showing that alternative costs are reduced.

The Marine Corps has been looking into a new Infantry Automatic Rifle. According to the Marine Corps Times, after evaluating designs from Heckler and Koch, Colt, and FN, the Marines selected the H&K entry, which is based on the HK 416. The IAR is designed to use the same 30-round magazines that the M4 and M16 rifles use. It is intended to replace the squad automatic weapon (SAW) at the squad and platoon level.
While it is lighter than the SAW, there is a concern among some about the loss of firepower. A 30-round magazine for a squad automatic weapon might have made sense when the rifles were akin to a bolt-action M1903 with five rounds or an M1 Garand with eight rounds, but does it make sense when the M4 carbines or M16 rifles also have 30-round magazines?
Vigilant border agents seized over $1.6 million in counterfeit toys at some border checkpoints. Have terrorists joined the multi-billion dollar counterfeit industry as implied on dhs.gov?
The crew of USCGC Dolphin (WPB 87354) has racked up yet another bust in the War on Drugs. In this case, the crew of the cutter seized 630 pounds of weed from an 18-foot boat. This bust comes less than three months after this same cutter seized over 1400 pounds of pot from other drug smugglers. WAY TO GO DOLPHIN!!!
Another disgusting intelligence hole needs to be plugged. According to a report in the New York Post, a second spy scandal has occurred at Gitmo. It seems that the Muslim Brotherhood was able to get some people in as interpreters, who proceeded to coach detainees on how to claim abuse and may have omitted details from their notes and reports, among other pro-jihadi activities. It is time to get answers as to why the DOD has not only allowed pro-jihadi personnel in such a sensitive environment, but also to explain why it has not been able to develop more trustworthy linguists in the eight years since the 9/11 attacks.
Believe it or not, a lot of advancements to help troops on the front do not involve high technology or a new breakthrough – be it unmanned aerial vehicles, packbots, or smart bombs. In some cases, it could be something so simple it might not seem like much. Improving the magazines the troops use in their M4s and M16s is one recent breakthrough from the United States Army's Program Executive Office–Soldier. It is estimated that these new magazines will cut the rate of stoppages due to magazine malfunctions by over 50 percent.
The Navy Safety Center recently issued a press release for naval personnel, but is something that should be remembered by everyone who exercises their right to keep and bear arms. The Navy and Marines suffered 39 firearms-related mishaps in fiscal year 2008, which is 39 too many. For more information on firearms safety, go to http://www.nrainstructors.org/searchcourse.aspx to find NRA-certified instructors who can provide basic training in firearms safety.
The MC-12W Liberty, a reconnaissance plane based on the C-12, recently hit 1,000 missions in a little over five months in Iraq with the 362nd Expeditionary Reconnaissance Squadron. During those five months, the 362nd has aided in the capture of 12 high-ranking terrorists and three weapons caches. More impressively (and most importantly), Coalition forces have suffered no casualties while the 362nd has been providing overwatch. WELL DONE, AIRMEN! HERE'S TO 1,000 MORE SUCCESSFUL MISSIONS!
The Center for Army Lessons Learned has released a new manual for Agribusiness Development Teams in Afghanistan. These teams have been helping Afghan farmers rebuild after years of war devastated the Afghan agricultural sector. The ADT program is an initiative of the National Guard Bureau and is designed to revitalize the agricultural sector of the Afghan economy by utilizing the farming skills of National Guard Soldiers and Airmen. This is a program that could be as important as whacking the Taliban – because if Afghans can make a living from farming, then the Taliban will have a harder time hiring.
In the wake of the announcement by the Obama administration that it will be moving terrorists currently held at Guantanamo Bay to the Thomson Correctional Center in Illinois, SOF was among media outlets taking part in a conference call held by KeepAmericaSafe.com, which outlined the risks in bringing those terrorists to American soil.
Liz Cheney, a board member of KeepAmericaSafe.com, said "It really is just the latest piece of evidence that this administration is dedicated to turning back the clock, to returning the days of the pre-9/11 mentality when we treated terrorism like a crime and when we believed that law enforcement was the answer. It's a dangerous and indefensible
Debra Burlingame, the sister of "Chip" Burlingame, the pilot of American Airlines flight 77, which was flown into the Pentagon, added, "Richard Reid was touted by Attorney General Holder as an example of how we can safely hold people in maximum—terrorists in maximum security prisons. It's very important to know that Richard Reid didn't simply complain about these special administrative measures that restricted his phone calls, outside visits, mail privilege, and access to news and the media itself. He engaged in a 58-day hunger strike. … It was only after that 58-day hunger strike that the suit was dropped or that the suit—the opposition to the suit was dropped and the special administrative measures were lifted."
Former federal prosecutor Andrew McCarthy, who prosecuted Omar Abdel-Rahman, the blind sheikh whose followers plotted terrorist attacks in New York City, pointed out, "Congress is the master of the jurisdiction of the federal court and can stop that tomorrow by divesting jurisdiction in the federal courts of people who are enemy combatants for purposes of war crimes trials during and in connection with this war."

Wound, ostomy, and continence nursing has always played a critical role in acute care settings. Now, WOC nursing is becoming increasingly valuable as health care switches from acute care to the outpatient setting and as home health and long-term care mushroom. As the population ages and as care moves to home health and long-term settings, the demand for nurses with this specialized training is growing.
WOC (formerly Enterostomal Therapy) nurses provide acute and long-term support to more than one million patients who undergo ostomy surgeries each year. They also play an essential role in managing urinary incontinence among the 13 million Americans with this condition. They are particularly skilled at managing complex cases in frail elderly patients.
Nurses with specialized training in wound care are increasingly valuable within the acute, long-term and home care settings for their ability to treat pressure ulcers, surgical incisions, draining and traumatic wounds, and tubes and fistulas.
The University of Virginia School of Nursing offers WOC training within its master's degree programs or as a stand-alone certificate program for those with a MSN degree. WOC nursing incorporates principles and practices that promote, maintain, and restore health for persons with wounds, ostomies, and continence problems throughout their lives. WOC nurses specialize in the care of individuals with disorders of the gastrointestinal tract, genitourinary, and integumentary systems.
The curriculum builds on both the theoretical knowledge and clinical experience of the master's prepared nurse.
The School of Nursing offers three WOC courses annually (two didactic courses and a practicum). The certificate program can be completed within 12 months. The two WOC didactic courses meet on Thursday afternoons in the fall and spring semesters. The practicum is in the summer session. Any MSN student pursuing a CNS or ACNP may choose to focus on WOC as their area of specialization.
Note: Students in the post-master's certificate programs at the University of Virginia are ineligible for scholarship assistance or student loans. University aid is restricted to those who are enrolled in degree programs (MSN, DNP, PhD, etc).
Program Director: Catherine Ratliff, PhD, RN, CWOCN, GNP
Students complete 160 clinical hours in GNUR 6383 in the summer session. Clinical hours are completed at the UVA Medical Center.
Students are qualified to sit for the Wound, Ostomy, and Continence Nursing certification from the Wound, Ostomy, and Continence Nursing Certification Board. The WOCN is the only certification in wound care recognized by the American Nurses Association (ANA).
Admission Requirements
Admission to the School of Nursing is competitive and based on evaluation of all portions of the application. To be considered for the certificate program, applicants must submit a completed application and:
Application deadline: November 1 for fall entry

Wow. I had a strange night with lots of mixed emotions..
That guy I met at the meet up group had tickets for a health expo which was supposed to be part of a meet up group.. Well I get there and the expo was pretty good but it was actually in a country club where on WEd. nights they have a band and dancing and all of that kind of stuff. Well after the expo I went into the outdoor patio where the band was and I ran into a few bikers.. They looked pretty interesting and they were like hey you can hang out with us.. I was like okay and they seemed pretty refreshing and real as compared to the hoity toity people at the health fare and at the club. So I was hanging out with them and drinking and dancing with one guy here and there and talking and joking around with the rest of them.. There was one of them that was really cute .. A bit overweight and def. way younger than me but he was really nice and at one point I was surrounded by a bunch of bikers.. It was so much fun.; but I was keeping my eye on K because I think I fell in love at first sight.. Anyway; He was most likely looking for a one night stand because he kept saying it was his birthday . He actually didnt feel like a threat or anything and we were all just having a good time..
WEll towards the end of the night when everyone left he grabs me and starts yes making out with me and I was like OMG but I participated in it.So here we are like two teenage strangers making out int he parking lot.. I am assuming he wanted to have sex and at one point he walked me to where his motorcycle was and says so do you want to come over to my house? I was like oh; no I cant.. Anyway;; He says okay so do you want to go for a ride on the bike. I was like okay.. So he proceeds to put the helmet on me which I thought was so cute and then we take a motorcycle ride and it was so much fun.. I wasnt even afraid at that point like i thought i would be.You know when you feel safe with someone and yeah I felt very safe .. Anyway; He then asks me if I want to go to Atlantic City with him for a day because no one he knows wants to go. I said yeah I will go.. Anyway after the bike ride he lets me off where my car was and we kissed and said goodbye .. It was like one of those endings in a movie where it was fun but kinda sad like okay take care and I will probably never see you again..
Oh; I forgot to add that somewhere in the middle of this all he took a few pictures of all of us and I said to him send it to my facebook page so that people will know I hang out with bad biker boys.. So I wrote down on a card my email address and of course phone number and gave it to him. He took it and said do you always give out your information like this .? I said no never but I just felt like giving it to you because well cause i just did...
Of course I am hoping he calls and we go to Atlantic City but I highly doubt it.. Well I can dream right???
|Thu, 07-25-2013 - 3:14am
Wow Free, that is fantastic! What an exciting experience, im very happy for you! And i really do hope that you hear from him soon! Cool, well done !
|Thu, 07-25-2013 - 6:43am
So, K, the birthday guy and the biker guy are two different people or the same person? Either way, it sounds like you had fun. I love nights when you go into a situation not really expecting anything and you end up having a pretty eventful evening. Those are the best. Is the biker guy dating material or just fling material . . . You probably don't quite know him well enough to even start thinking about that stuff yet, huh? Hopefully, if it's meant to be, he'll call and eventually you will get that opportunity ;)
|Thu, 07-25-2013 - 8:41am
Ha ha
The biker guy and the Birthday guy are the same guy.. He was the one I really liked and went on the motorcycle with..
oh; I left out the part where we were drinking and stuff but we werent drunk or anything..
Gee I never really thought much about if he was dating material or fling or anything as he appeared to be a free spirit like me so he probably already forgot about me (LOL)
|Thu, 07-25-2013 - 10:59am
Well my 2nd exH was a biker. He pointed out that motorcycles are expensive so it's usually guys who have good jobs who have them (as you know in the north, you have to have a car too for the winter). I actually used to think it was fun to ride--my ex had been riding for years and was a very safe driver. I know a couple of guys from high school who have bikes and they aren't your typical biker dudes that you would think of at all--they are nice family men. So did you get any other info on him like what kind of work he does, etc? Since it was his birthday, you should have asked how old he was. It sounds like a very interesting night--esp. when you don't expect to meet someone and then you do. Hmmm, making out in the parking lot. lol Yeah, I'd do the same thing if I got the chance.
|Thu, 07-25-2013 - 11:13am
Hi Free..
I know you don't like me very much, but I just had to say, this is just WOW. FANTASTIC STUFF!! This is brilliant, this is living. It would be super great if he got in touch but even if he doesn't... that was SOME night you had.. Noone can take that away from you. I hope with all my heart that he emails/texts/whatever. Or just turns up at your place on his bike, in his leathers.
|Thu, 07-25-2013 - 11:45am
oh; You guys are so funny .,.
Oh; yes he told me he was turning 52 last night and he showed me his license but it was dark and I couldnt see much but I am assuming it was true..He also told me he was on vacation from work for a week and not sure what he did for a living but his bike looked awefully expensive.. He was pretty upfront and honest about alot of stuff but not sure it was an atmosphere in that exact moment for asking many questions.
All of these biker guys who looked mean and tough and all were the sweetest nicest men I have ever seen in a long time.. The rest of the crowd were snobby phony wanna bee rich people who go out to dance and have fun and meet up with their clicks. These guys were so refreshing and it just happens that this one K was just really nice and cute and very down to earth and sort of just a regular guy all the way around.. You know that type ?
well maybe that is where I belong these days with the bikers and the pirates.. I went to a pirate festival a few weeks ago and althought it wasnt real the actors who portrayed pirates were just fun lovable down to earth regular people.. Maybe someone is trying to tell me something because the world out there is becoming so snooty and snobby and hoity toity and all designer bags and fake nails and bad plastic surgery.. I sure want to be with the regular folk..
|Thu, 07-25-2013 - 5:13pm
I agree. Not a huge difference at all. I thought you meant he was 40 or something! There's something about a guy who will push you up against a car (or wall or bike) and make out with you!
|Thu, 07-25-2013 - 7:28pm
You know last night brought me back to my younger days when years ago men would kind of man handle you and that doesnt really seem to happen anymore. LOL.... These days it appears everyone is afraid to make a move or ask for a date or whatever.. I wonder why that is?? Everyone is afraid that someone wants something from them? That is the only thing I can figure out.
I notice most people are just afraid of the opposite sex at times.. or am I just imagining that?
I swear I am meeting people who are just plain old afraid of getting involved and that is too many to mention.so the odds go down for something meaningful...

Current Trainings
Leadership and Decision-Making:
The Me, The You, and The We
(Open Only to OVW Grantees)
Tuesday, September 30, 2014 from 10am to Noon (PDT)
You are a leader in creating a safer and healthier world that honors women, and you work in a context of increasing complexity, change and need for collaboration to get things done and have impact. Ask yourself:
- How many decisions are you responsible for on any given day?
- How do you balance the quickening pace of your work environment with making sure key team members or colleagues buy-in to the decisions that need to be made?
- Have you ever spent precious time and energy "selling" your decision to people who were critical to its implementation?
- Have you ever had to repair relationships with colleagues who had a stake in the decision and did not feel appropriately involved?
- Have you had colleagues sabotage your decisions because they didn't agree with the way you made your decision or the decision itself?
Decision-making is one of the most tangible expressions of power in organizational and community life. Power essentially comes down to "who decides" and "who gets to decide on who will decide."
Choosing wisely whom to involve in decision making is one of the most strategic actions you can take to harness the wisdom and buy-in of the people with whom you work, to deal with unproductive power dynamics, and to level the playing field.
The dilemma in engaging others is how to achieve the benefits of involvement while minimizing the risks? The key is to seek the maximum involvement appropriate to the situation.
In this webinar, you will:
- Understand and use a practical five option decision-making framework to facilitate strategic decision-making
- Conduct a stakeholder analysis to identify key stakeholders and their wins in order to maximally leverage their contributions and buy-in
- Understand and use a set of factors to consider to determine the maximum appropriate level of involvement of others in the decision-making process
- Apply the levels of involvement to a genuine work situation and explain their rationale for the level of involvement you chose
- Articulate the value in seeking maximum appropriate involvement rather than the minimum necessary involvement in a decision-making process

"I challenged Omar, Mike (Hall) and Regis at halftime and told them: 'You haven't scored yet. You guys have got to step up.' And we responded the way we should at home. I was very proud of the way we finished the game."
Related quotes
"Omar is a special player. He is able to score from a lot of different situations, and free kicks is one of them."
"Ron Hudson told me Omar was a real good-looking athlete with a lot of upside, but that he had some flaws in his throwing motion, ... So I got Omar on the phone and said, 'Who else is recruiting you?' He said, 'The only other visit I got is Buffalo.' "
"I chose him because he really knew how to box for real. Omar is so good that several times boxing trainers and managers were trying to actually sign him to a contact."
"You're sitting there having breakfast at the St. Regis with Scooter Aspen, buttering each other's toast, and somehow the name 'Valerie Flame' pops up in your notebook without you knowing how it got there! It's your handwriting, sure enough, but rack your brain much as you will, you just can't remember which little birdie tweeted that name into your ear."
"We don't have Omar anymore. We know Omar can throw a lot of touchdown passes. We don't know that about our quarterbacks now."

E) Language other than English
UC-approved high school courses
Two years, or equivalent to the 2nd level of high school instruction, of the same language other than English are required. (Three years/3rd level of high school instruction recommended). Courses should emphasize speaking and understanding, and include instruction in grammar, vocabulary, reading, composition and culture. American Sign Language and classical languages, such as Latin and Greek, are acceptable. Courses taken in the seventh and eighth grades may be used to fulfill part or all of this requirement if the high school accepts them as equivalent to its own courses.

In this case, Language 1 clears both years of the requirement.

The NG Utilities Summit Australia will bring together decision makers from across Australia and investors from neighboring regions to meet with top solution providers committed to maintaining Australia's competitive position in the utilities market.
Ian Verrender discusses the latest news from the ASX merger.
AUSTRALIAN clean energy investors are frustrated. They have the money, they have the clients, but they don't have many viable investment choices. One critical problem is the absence of a price signal such as a carbon tax that can make alternative energy sources viable. The other main problem is the early-stage nature of many of the clean energy stocks on the Australian market.
