Polo Is A Family Affair For Simon Garber Of Yellow Cab/SLS JETS Polo Team
WELLINGTON, Fla., Jan. 22, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The names are familiar throughout the polo world and etched on numerous trophies in the U.S., England and Argentina – Pieres, Heguy, Merlos, and Gracida, to name a few of the legendary polo families.
International businessman and Yellow Cab/SLS JETS Polo Team patron Simon V. Garber is creating his own family legacy in South Florida. Garber is playing in three polo leagues with his sons at Gulfstream Polo Club in Lake Worth, Florida.
A father-and-sons team in not uncommon in Argentina, home to best polo players in the world, but it is rare in the United States.
Garber is the largest taxicab operator in the United States, with more than 3,000 in nine cities, including New York, Chicago and New Orleans. During the week, he concentrates on numerous business ventures throughout the U.S., South America and Europe. But during the weekend, it's polo, polo, polo."Taking time out of my busy schedule to play polo with my sons is worth it," said the 47-year-old Garber, who splits time between New York City and Palm Beach County. "This is important in many ways for us as a family. There is an amazing energy between us on and off the field. It is something we all enjoy. I believe we are creating a legacy, a tradition that I hope will continue for a long time." In the 4-goal league, Garber will be joined by all three of his sons – 20-year-old Shaun Francis Garber, who attends Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton, and 18-year-old Jeffrey Lawrence Garber, a freshman at Tulane in New Orleans, and the youngest, 14-year-old Tyler, a high school freshman in Manhattan. "Polo is all about families being together and I can't think of anything else I would rather do with my sons," said Simon Garber. "The game of polo is more than winning and losing. There is a lot of tradition, a lot of sportsmanship and a real sense of family." With his business moving along smoothly, Garber and his family spend most weekends during the winter polo season in the Wellington area, the winter equestrian capital of the world. "We talk strategy, and we talk horses," said Simon Garber, who emigrated from Odessa, Russia to the U.S. with his parents in 1977. "It's a special feeling and it's a lifestyle that we all enjoy."

LANSING, Mich. (AP) — The ex-boyfriend of a Lansing woman has been convicted in the slaying and torture of her 2-year-old son.
The Lansing State Journal reports that an Ingham County Circuit Court jury found 25-year-old Marcus Hill guilty Friday of felony murder, torture and first-degree child abuse in the death of Brandon Kemp.
A jury convicted Brandon's mother, Mercedes Kemp, in March of second-degree murder, torture and child abuse. She is serving 25 to 50 years in prison.
Hill was Mercedes Kemp's live-in boyfriend when Brandon died in April 2012. A pathologist testified that the boy's lungs were bruised and his liver split in two.
Hill faces life in prison when sentenced.

The Rev. Jerry Johnston's First Family Church is facing foreclosure. The Kansas City Star reported today that Regions Bank wants the Overland Park megachurch to pay more than $14 million in mortgage and other costs or the bank will foreclose on the property, sell it and use the proceeds to pay off the church's debt.
The church issued a statement on its website blaming the foreclosure on the economy and citing a Wall Street Journal report about similar instances at churches across the country.
"Your church leadership, pastors, elders, deacons, and ministry leaders
have been praying and in a spirit of unity," the statement said. "We are
confident to resolve this situation while all ministries and worship
services continue as scheduled on our campus."
Here are the highlights of the statement:
* FFC remains proactive with the lender in working out a successful financial debt restructuring that will bridge the challenges of the current situation.The Star reports that foreclosure could take anywhere from four to six months; the bank sent a letter to the church in September seeking payment.
* The bank filing was something the Church was expecting, as it is standard Administrative Process required of lenders while working to restructure the debt.
* FFC has demonstrated by internal financial management that it has the capacity to enter into a restructuring with Regions that will repay this debt in full. We are confident that a resolution will be accomplished.
* This development toward First Family Church by Regions is consistent with the Bank's actions since they accelerated the mortgage maturity from 30 years to 5 years recently forcing this situation even while First Family Church was current in its obligations. We recognize banks today are under immense pressure by federal regulators. These are uncertain economic times.
* While FFC continues negotiations with Regions Bank, the mission, ministries, worship services, and Conquest Initiatives will continue without interruption on our campus. We will resolve this matter to the satisfaction of the bank and First Family Church.
* Please continue to pray and rest assured your Elder Board is working diligently to resolve this matter. Church members are encouraged to contact the Elders and Chief Financial Officer of First Family Church at the church office with any questions.

NEW DELHI (AP) — Police in India's capital used tear gas and water cannons for a second day Sunday in a high-security zone to break up protests by thousands of people demonstrating against the gang rape and beating of a 23-year-old student on a bus.
Police chased angry protesters with batons some of whom fought pitched battles with steel rods and rocks as they tried to get past steel barricades and a wall created by hundreds of policemen to reach the president's mansion to present their demands. "We want justice," they shouted.
Television footage showed that some protesters were injured in the clashes.
The protesters made bonfires and damaged cars and police vehicles.
Police blamed the violence on hooligans. "A peaceful protest by people has been taken over by hooligans," Dharmendra Kumar, a senior police officer, told reporters. He urged people to go home to help police deal with the trouble makers.
The demonstrations continued Sunday despite Home Minister Sushilkumar Shinde promising to consider their main demand for death penalties for all six suspects who have been arrested by police following the Dec. 16 attack.
Shinde said Saturday night that the government was taking steps to better ensure the safety of women.
A group of protesters met Sonia Gandhi, the governing Congress party chief, and her son and lawmaker Rahul Gandhi, on Sunday and demanded a speedy trial of the suspects.

WASHINGTON: Someone shoots a cruise missile at you. How far away would you like to stop it: over 200 miles out or less than 35? If you answered "over 200," congratulations, you're thinking like the US Navy, which has spent billions of dollars over decades to develop ever more sophisticated anti-missile defenses.

47 Seconds From Hell: A Challenge To Navy DoctrineBy Sydney J. Freedberg Jr.
WASHINGTON: Raytheon's Next Generation Jammer underwent its first test flights at the Naval Air Weapons Station China Lake as the electronic warfare association's annual conference got underway in October. The tests were performed to judge whether the system could successfully jam and disrupt enemy threat radars. This marks the first tests of the pod itself, the AESA… Keep reading →
Navy Forges New EW Strategy: Electromagnetic Maneuver WarfareBy Sydney J. Freedberg Jr.
WASHINGTON: The Navy is crafting a battle plan to retake control of the electromagnetic spectrum, which the Pentagon's chief of research says we've lost. First of all, if adversaries can exploit rapid advances in commercial electronics to run circles around America's multi-billion dollar arsenal, our slow-moving procurement process needs to be more open to civilian innovation.… Keep reading →
US Can't 'Stick Our Heads In The Sand' On Space Threats: Gen. SheltonBy Sydney J. Freedberg Jr.
WASHINGTON: Watch the skies. While they're far from falling, the head of Air Force Space Command said today, the heavens aren't the "peaceful sanctuary" they once were, either. Nothing short of a nuclear missile could pull the plug on a satellite constellation as robust as the Global Positioning System (GPS), Gen. William Shelton said, semi-reassuringly.… Keep reading →
Army Electronic Warfare Goes On The Offensive: New Tech Awaits ApprovalBy Sydney J. Freedberg Jr.
WASHINGTON: Today, somewhere inside the Pentagon, senior Army officers will likely recommend development of new radio-jamming equipment for the post-Afghan War world. After a decade desperately playing defense against radio-detonated IEDs — and, before that, a decade of neglect in the 1990s — Army electronic warfare is taking the offensive again.
With their eyes on future adversaries more technologically sophisticated than the Taliban, commanders want new capabilities to shut down enemy electronic networks and protect their own. It's a challenge intimately interwoven with but distinct from the higher-profile field of cyber warfare. Hackers infiltrate enemy networks to steal data and infiltrate viruses, while jammers simply shut them down — though that distinction gets blurred by new techniques such as "protocol attacks" that scramble digital radios.

Navy Bets On 'Baby Steps' To Improve Electronic Warfare; F-35 Jamming Not EnoughBy Sydney J. Freedberg Jr.
PENTAGON: While the Air Force and the Marines stake their future on a great leap forward to the stealthy F-35 Joint Strike Fighter, the Navy is taking what one officer called "baby steps" into the future: a careful, incremental upgrade of electronic warfare systems to jam enemy radar instead of just hiding from it. The fleet is moving, slowly but surely, from 1960s-vintage EA-6B Prowlers carrying 1970s-vintage jamming pods — complete with vacuum tubes — to supersonic EA-18G Growlers armed, as of 2020, with a digital Next-Generation Jammer.
Despite persistent rumors the Navy will cut back its F-35 purchase, the service remains officially committed to a carrier-launched version of the F-35, the F-35C. They're just not counting on the F-35 to penetrate increasingly sophisticated air defenses on its own. Keep reading →
[Corrected 9:35 pm with a note about the EC-130 Compass Call] Is stealth still America's silver bullet? Or are potential adversaries' radars getting too smart for US aircraft to keep hiding from them?
That's literally the trillion-dollar question, because the US military is investing massively in new stealth aircraft. At stake in this debate are not just budgets but America's continued ability to project power around the world. Keep reading →
Navy's Move To Growler 70% Complete; Build-Up Reflects Stealth DoubtsBy Sydney J. Freedberg Jr.
WHIDBEY ISLAND, WASHINGTON: "Every two weeks, we get another Growler," Cmdr. Christopher Middleton said at the Navy's electronic warfare hub here. The Navy target is to buy 114 EA-18G Growler aircraft. And it's those Growler aircraft that will be the cutting edge of future Naval strikes against future "anti-access area denial" defenses like those being built by China.
To break through such defenses, the Navy is very publicly working on a joint "AirSea Battle" concept with the Air Force, but the two services have taken starkly different approaches to defeating enemy radar. Keep reading →

You look at a list of new PC releases. The list is populated by arcane words and you sense strong magic at work behind the somehow familiar titles. To your surprise, the list asks you in an inaudible voice, "Do you like tactical battles with large fantasy armies, but don't know The Art of War and The Book of Five Rings by heart?" Curious, you answer "Yes."
The strange list then asks you another question. "Do you like to go on text adventures while a single narrator reads the stories out loud, using different voices to mimic different characters?" Amused, you answer "Yes."
"Then come play with me, my Lord," the list beckons. You install King Arthur II - The Role-playing Wargame. More than 25 hours later, you leave your computer wondering if you've received a buff or a penalty.
King Arthur: The Roleplaying Wargame was a really fun and interesting hybrid real-time strategy/turn-based strategy/role-playing game. It pulled a lot of good elements from these genres and it felt unique and it really stood out, but it did have some flaws: The AI was awful, combat was boring, and moving units around felt loose and sluggish. Sadly, this expansion is made up almost solely of mechanics that showcase the games weakest points.

We stayed 4 nights in this hotel in August 2011. The Hotel is only 3 years old and everything works well. The staff speak pretty good English. The rooms are stylish and extremely suitable for wheelchairs. The adjustable central air-conditioning works very well. Breakfast is an elaborate Italian affair with buns filled with chocolate in addition to the usual fare. There is an indoor pool with very pleasant 34 Celsius. This also has a Whirlpool. Outside is an enormous pool with nice 32 Celsius. Great for a day at the pool with a little concession stand for ice cream and drinks.
I was disappointed to find that despite a cost of 125 EUR per night they seem to think they need to charge extra for the Internet, pool towels and bath robes.
