Understanding Temperament (Mike Tyson and Cus D'Amato)
In my last entry, I mentioned that I've learned many valuable lessons in the gym that wouldn't make sense on paper. I say this as both an athlete and perhaps more importantly as a trainer. There are times when it makes sense to go against the grain and do things that others may not understand. Success as a trainer depends on much more than your understanding of anatomy and kinesiology. The ideal solution to individual needs cannot always be calculated scientifically or determined mathematically. Often times, the temperament of the athlete will dictate the ideal approach.
As a boxing trainer, I look up to the legendary Cus D'Amato as perhaps the greatest example of this concept. Cus is most known for his work with Mike Tyson, but he was also instrumental in the development of other Hall of Fame fighters such as Jose Torres and Floyd Patterson. Cus was truly a student of the game and understood the inner workings of a fighter's mind. He was the polar opposite of the clipboard trainers who have become so common today. Cus had brilliant insights into the sport and a deep understanding about the psychology of fear and discipline.
When Cus developed an athlete, he wasn't focused solely on physical attributes. He did as much for the mind as he did for the body. There is no better example of physical and mental development than that of a young Mike Tyson. Tyson came to Cus D'Amato as a youngster who lacked discipline and was mentally unstable. He was far from the dominant force that he became as a young heavyweight.
Mike Tyson did not become the youngest heavyweight champion by accident. Everything that Cus did with Tyson was done for a reason. There was a method to his madness. Ironically, many of today's keyboard gurus who have never trained anyone often criticize the workouts and regimen that Tyson performed. For instance, the internet is filled with discussions about Tyson's routine as a youngster. Many question why he trained 7 days a week, or why he performed hundreds of repetitions of calisthenics. Others ask why he ran at such an early hour in the morning. Countless pencil pushers have stated that such frequent and intense work could lead to overtraining and was everything but optimal.
Cus D'Amato knew better however. He knew what he had in Tyson. Yes, he was naturally strong, but Tyson was also mentally fragile. You can see an example of this in the video below. You'll see how he was plagued by fear and insecurities.
Cus knew of Tyson's deficiencies and tailored the training accordingly. He had to turn Tyson into a conditioning machine for reasons that go far beyond the physical. For example, Cus stated the following in regards to a fighter's development:
I get them in excellent condition… Knowing how the mind is and the tricks it plays on a person and how an individual will always look to avoid a confrontation with something that is intimidating, I remove all possible excuses they're going to have before they get in there. By getting them in excellent condition, they can't say when they get tired that they're not in shape.
Cus also knew of the trouble that Tyson had been in as a youngster. Mike Tyson was far from a saint when he was taken in by Cus D'Amato. Tyson had been in and out of trouble his entire life. As a result, it is no surprise that Cus kept Tyson busy throughout the day. The last thing that you want a troubled teen to do is wander off on his own. Instead, you keep him busy even if it means having him do more work than it makes sense to do. Cus wasn't just building Tyson's body. He was developing mental toughness in someone who didn't have it. He was developing discipline in a fighter who was young and reckless.
It was the discipline and knowledge that Cus gave Tyson that led to his success as a young pro. Sure, there will always be debates about the specifics of Tyson's training and perhaps even exaggerated tales, but there is no denying that he worked extremely hard for several hours each day. And Tyson's Spartan-like regimen continued as a young pro as is evident in the video below.
As for the success of Cus D'Amato's methods, it is undeniable how Tyson's career slowly fell apart when Cus died and after the firing of Kevin Rooney (who had been tutored by Cus). Once Tyson lost the discipline that Cus worked so carefully to construct, the physical force that Tyson was slowly came crashing down.
In summary, the development of an athlete often entails much more than the regimen you see on paper. To be a successful trainer, you must communicate with your athletes. You need to know what makes them tick. You need to know what distracts them and what has hampered them before. Don't just focus on physical development, but also understand the significance of the athlete's temperament. Analyze each athlete as the unique individual that he or she is. What works for one may not work for another.
Boxing is a sport of self-control. You must understand fear so you can manipulate it. Fear is like fire. You can make it work for you: it can warm you in the winter, cook your food when you're hungry, give you light when you are in the dark, and produce energy. Let it go out of control and it can hurt you, even kill you. Fear is a friend of exceptional people. – Cus D'Amato

Tyson and Patterson both were loaded with insecurities. Remember reading that Floyd showed up with a "getaway" disguise to wear before the Liston fight. Completely opposite in the ring, however, except for maybe the peek-a-boo type of style they acquired from being trained by Cus D'Amato. I do question the "numbers" that are thrown around regarding Tyson's daily routine of dips, pushups, pull-ups and situps. You have to wonder how much strength you would have left in the arms and shoulders after working the bags, sparring, etc., to perform an outrageous amount of not only pushups, but dips and pullups too. Personally, I can't see the reason why a fighter would even bother knocking out a 1,000 or so standard pushups a day. Angelo Dundee has stated that while he was with Ali, that Ali never performed pushups, much less pullups and dips. Ali preferred woodchopping to add upper body strength and stamina. Woodchopping would seem more sport specific than pushups or pullups IMO, but each individual is indeed different.

I identify with Tyson because like him I have psychological fragility due to early childhood traumas. A wise mentor can make or break anyone. I think that's how it works for top level football teams as I know a guy who ayed and his brother too and he brother is an announcer for a top college team (they won championship in last 5years). He says that a good coach understands his players and knows what it takes to motivate encourage and inspire his people. I see how this guy dominates strength and conditioning well into his late 40s and handles people with an admirable grace in business transactions.
My main point-
More should be written and ideas given on how to lead handle and inspire oneself and others psychologically as this transposes to every area of life-athletics, business, community,etc.As always Ross I admire the blog and your intelligent and practical fashion you reason with. It's ways refreshing for me to and a highlight of my day to stop by and read. God bless you my friend.
sean fagan March 6th, 2014 2:58 pm
outstanding article Ross, really loved this article – seems to me, like Cus, you also got a deep understanding of the psychological challenges of a boxer's mind. Great stuff Ross.
Tim March 6th, 2014 7:01 pm
Thanks, Ross. It's always great to see the greats training. The affect Cus had on a young Mike was obviously HUGE, and has been well documented. I realize that your article was about Cus, but I don't want us to forget about Teddy Atlas. Nearly every time I see a video of a young Tyson in training, Teddy is right there by his side. In this particular video of Mike, Teddy seems acutely aware of his young boxer's psychological needs, and seems to respond magnificently.
DoomRater March 7th, 2014 8:38 am
And to think all it took to prove your point was two videos highlighting Cus himself. Maybe some of those pencil pushers could take a lesson from how you do your research and listen to the wisdom of trainers of this caliber.

Wow. Fantastic article. About 30 things just clicked for me.
dmitry March 7th, 2014 4:29 pm
it is an honor to read this entry. I cannot stop my self to write down a little comments for both cus and mike.
: 15 fights at the year 1985 = win
: but it was sad that cus passed awayas always thank you ross.
Brian March 8th, 2014 6:04 am
Your blog is very good Ross. I love how an abused poor kid from the ghetto and a "washed up" but famous trainer came together to make history. Mike and Cus would make a great movie. A poor kid who needed a solid mentor and Father figure and an old man who needed one last spark of inspiration to soar into the Sunset of his life. It's all remarkable.
It's really cool how you link and dig into the old school knowledge like the Sandow strength site. Old school boxing stories and knowledge shared with us like Bert Sugars insights, the 180″s bare knuckle chutes who brawled for hours, Sugar Ray Robinson, etc. would all make good future posts. I think as a trainer athlete and author you're wisely trying to integrate the best knowledge and show your readership how to maximize their potential through learning about he process from others.
You might want to check out Richard Bandlers books- he created Nlp. I read in a book of his how guys who were imprisoned mimicked aging the keyboards and came out playing an actual piano with virtuosity. A premise of Bandlers thought is the best of the best have their brains at a certain place and mentally map out the World- what their actual potential is, their own limitations, how others perceive them, beliefs about their talent and limitations, etc. Bandler was teaching we could all attain a higher level by learning to replicate successful people's thought processes and this wod aid in making success a reality. If we knew the inner workings of a virtuosos guitar player like Jimi Hendrix, Joe Satriani, Al Dimeola, or Mark Tremonti we could faster replicate and arrive at where they are at is the argument. The point is to improve our thought processes and me tap core internal beliefs to make us all happier, and more successful by living on a higher plane of existence as to how we view our true potential. -

The road to trustworthy systems
NICTA, Sydney, Australia
UNSW, Australia
Computer systems are routinely deployed in life- and mission- critical situations, yet their security, safety or dependability can in most cases not be assured to the degree warranted by the application. In other words, trusted computer systems are rarely really trustworthy.
We believe that this is highly unsatisfactory, and have embarked on a large research program aimed at bringing reality in line with expectations. In this paper we describe NICTA's research agenda for achieving true trustworthiness in systems. We report on what has been achieved to date, and what our plans are for the next 3-5 years.

CAO Concert Cigars
CAO Concert
The CAO Concert cigar is more than just an excuse to design some music-themed packaging from a company well-known for their imagination and style. It's a legit premium smoke crafted to the highest standards and with a blend that really sings. The name was chosen as an homage to Nashville, Tennessee, internationally known as Music City, and CAO's original hometown. To honor such a celebrated locale, an Ecuadoran Habano Rosado wrapper and a Connecticut Broadleaf binder were selected to front the ensemble of lush Honduran and Nicaraguan filler.
The initial bursts of flavor are toasted nuts and sweet spices, with dark coffee and creamy charred oak further into the vitola. The beginning strength of the cigar is medium but rises to medium-full near the end bringing along a good dose of nicotine. The Concert is a 90 rated cigar anyone can enjoy, particularly when sitting at an outside music venue and jamming out to a favorite band. Barring that, a nice deck or patio will suffice, just make sure the radio is going and you have a frosty glass of beer close by. We recommend a crisp malty lager, the type of beverage that also pairs well with cigars like the Pinar Del Rio Original Habano Sun Grown and CyB.

Villa Soravia - the summer house in the resort area of Millstatt, Austria has been completed. It is located at the southernmost point of the resort area of Millstatt, directly on the shores of the lake, Millstätter See. This site previously held a building that was an addition to an existing hotel with a nearly identical outline, as building regulations stipulated its basic preservation. This outline determines the outer appearance of the four-storey villa on the small plot of land. The design is based on a spa villa. Running to the second storey is a footbridge that covers the boat docks, which are integrated into the building. The footbridge acts as the villa's horizontal connection to the lake. The distinctively sloped tower, which cuts into the body of the building, holds the vertical development of the upper living levels.

What is actually happening is that the Vikes offensive line is finally beginning to play up to its preseason billing. Against the Lions it gave up only one sack and not many hurries, although still uncertain in blitz pickup. The Brad Johnson INT resulting in the 14 point swing that kept the game interesting until the end came when a blitzer blew through the right side untouched. Despite that, in the two games that the combo right tackle of Ryan Cook and Mike Rosenthal has replaced Marcus Johnson, both pass and run blocking have improved considerably on the right. Perhaps Cook will justify the reach the Vikes made for him in the second round, and it is fairly obvious that Mike Rosenthal is an improvement also. Last year he was a bust in pass blocking, but everything gets easier for the offensive lineman when his team is a threat to run the ball.
On defense, the Purple is still a tough act to watch. It is true that they stop the run well, but not so obvious that that is why their opponents immediately resort almost exclusively to the forward pass. In fact, the Vikes do not get enough pressure on the passer, and do not cover the short/medium passing attack very well. Opponents regularly gain great chunks of yardage against them with that one-dimensional offense. Fortunately, it is an offense prone to turnovers, so the Purple has given up many yards, but few points.
Cedric Griffin starting in place of Fred Smoot has been an improvement, if only because Griffin is the better tackler, and his coverage skills are bound to improve. And linebacking is a strength this year rather than glaring weakness, with the arrival of Ben Leber and the improved play of E.J. Henderson and Napo Harris. Hopefully the rumored imminent departure of the latter two is groundless.
It will be interesting to see if the Vikes can run the table and stay in the playoff hunt. If they actually are improving, as it might appear these last three weeks, they could do so. The smart money, however, will bet that their inconsistencies and tendency to turn the ball over and commit foolish penalties will end their season no better than 8-8.

Think what that will mean in Winona. A short list of institutions that rely on the gifts of big donors are the Shakespeare and Beethoven Festivals, the Marine Art Museum, Historical Society, Community Memorial Hospital, St. Marys University, to an ever greater extent WSU, and dont forget, all the churches. Based on the list of stimulus recipients I do not hold out the slightest hope that the President will spend that money more wisely than those whose energy and creativity generated it in the first place.
Part of Obamas shabby rationale for this snatch and grab from the charities is that it is unfair that the bus driver should not be able to deduct as much of his donations as the $200,000 earner, (setting aside the high probability that the bus drivers will be much less.) Fine. Let the bus driver deduct 35%, even though his tax rate is the 28%. I believe that he, too, will spend the money more wisely than the federal government. But to intimate that you are dispensing justice to the bus driver by soaking the big giver is to say that he will benefit from his church, hospital, or kids college getting along on roughly 7% less in big donations.
Obamas remark to the effect that if a donation is truly charitable, tax ramifications shouldnt be the determining factor, reveals either a naiveté or cynicism which is frightening to observe in the leader of the free world. Rich people do not save money through charitable giving, by manipulating the tax code. They can put $65 in their pockets and give the government the remaining $35 out of $100, or give the total $100 to charity. It is far more expensive to give than to take the income and pay the tax. Changing the limit down to 28% makes it 7% more expensive to give, which is the same as taxing it 7%, and everyone knows that the effect a tax has on a given activity is to make it scarcer.

I recently installed a new aftermarket stereo in my 1999 Volkswagen Beetle. I was kind of forced into getting a new radio because I took my car in to a shop to diagnose a battery drain and they ended up cracking my factory radio when they pulled it out.
I have no real experience working with cars, and the install definitely took a lot longer than expected, but I think this is a task that most people can handle. My install was complicated by the fact that the shop that diagnosed my battery drain also removed the fuse to the radio (fuse 42, fyi) and didn't tell me about it.
I ordered most of the parts I needed off of Amazon.
The stereo I bought was the Sony Xplod CDXGT55UIW. It has both USB connectivity with iPhone support and an AUX port for connecting anything else. It definitely beats the tape deck in my old radio.
Here's the full list of items I needed:
Scosche Dt2B Radio Removal Tool (Euro Din)
This is needed to remove my factory radio. See this YouTube video for details on how to use it. Some of the reviews said they were flimsy, but I didn't have a problem with them.
Metra 70-1784 Radio Wiring Harness for Audi 88-99/Volkswagen 80-Up
This harness connects to the wiring harness that will come with your aftermarket stereo. It allows you to simply connect the color coded wires together. The Metra harness comes with the wires already stripped, so that is a nice plus.
Metra VW/Audi/European Vehicle Antenna Adapter (40-VW53) (40-VW53)
This is an adapter for the radio antenna. It is easy to just plug in.
American International VW-K1008 Single DIN Installation Dash Kit You will want a dash kit for the install so it will sit flush with the dash and fill in the space around the stereo. If you don't care what your car / radio looks like, then you can skip it. I picked this dash kit because I didn't like the look of the Metro one on amazon. I ordered it from Sonic Electronix for $7.99.
Posi-Products™ Car Stereo Connector Kit
This item is optional. They are little wire connectors that really speed up the install. Instead of soldering or shrink wrapping wires together, you simply twist the two wires together and screw these caps on and you get a tight / sealed connection. Check out the link above to Crutchfield, they have super fast shipping.
In addition to those mentioned above, I needed a couple tools : a star screwdriver (for two bolts that you have to take out to use the dash mount kit), pliers (could probably get away without if you buy the Posi connectors), and a razor blade (I used for stripping wires).
For installation instructions, there is already a great how-to over on the New Beetle forums. It was very helpful with my install and includes step-by-step and photos.
A couple things I have to add to it that I learned: - The hardest part of the install was fitting all the wires and antenna adapter back in along with the radio. I ended up pushing the harness and wires as far down into the dash hole as possible. It is tricky, but not impossible (kind of felt that way at first!)
After I connected all the wires and plugged everything in, I put the key in the ignition and tried to power it on…nothing happened. I really didn't know how to troubleshoot it and burned a lot of time trying to figure out why it wasn't working. I figured I must have wired something incorrectly. As I said earlier, check your fuses. Mine had been removed and as soon as I popped in a fuse to position 42, it powered right up. Here is the New Beetle Fuse Diagram to reference.
I have a CD changer that is located in my trunk. I just ignored it in my install as I don't plan on using it. It is the blue plug.
If you have a Windows Phone, you can't play music via USB but you can charge your phone. An android phone shouldn't be a problem as they allow mounting as usb. I bought a 8gb micro USB flash drive to put music on and just leave it in all the time. It is small enough that it won't get bumped into and the face plate can be removed with it in.
Overall it took me a few hours to install this since I had issues and lack car skills. If everything went as planned, I would say it would have taken an hour or so. Feel free to ask any questions. I'm no expert but I am happy to answer easy questions :) Good luck!
Here is the final result:

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) designed the PQRS to improve the quality of care for Medicare beneficiaries by tracking practice patterns. Since 2007, quality reporting has been voluntary for services furnished to Medicare Part B Fee-for-Service (FFS) beneficiaries. The ACA made participation in Medicare's PQRS program mandatory beginning in 2015.
Audiologists and speech-language pathologists (SLPs) participate when they are enrolled as Medicare Part B providers through private or group practices that submit claims on the CMS 1500 Health Insurance Claim Form, electronically or on paper.
Audiologists can report on three quality measures. SLPs can report on two PQRS quality measures. These measures are reportable via the CMS 1500 claim form with Medicare directed codes. For more information, see Reporting Audiology Quality Measures: A Step-by-Step Guide and Physician Quality Reporting System for Speech-Language Pathologists.
For reporting years 2012 through 2014, audiologists and SLPs can earn an incentive payment equal to 0.5% of allowed charges. However, providers who are not successfully participating in PQRS by 2013 will have their 2015 Medicare reimbursement decreased by 1.5%. In 2016, the payment decrease will be 2%.

Clearwater Receives $400,000 Grant
January 19, 2012
Clearwater Receives $400,000 from New York State for Kingston Home Port Project
Awarded Grant for an Education and Boatbuilding Center at the Hudson River Maritime Museum
New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation has awarded a $400,000 grant to help cover the cost of Hudson River Sloop Clearwater and Hudson River Maritime Museum's joint project for the Kingston Home Port and Education Center to be built on the Rondout Creek. Governor Andrew Cuomo announced the grants in December as part of a new economic development initiative that adds up to $67 million for 61 Mid-Hudson Valley projects.
The grant will be matched with money through a joint fundraising effort of the two organizations, through private donations, and a $125,000 grant secured by state Assemblyman Kevin Cahill, D-Kingston. Architectural services and $200,000 worth of timber are being donated by Allan Shope, Clearwater board president.
The 4,500-square-foot, two story timber frame boatbuilding barn will be constructed on the west end of the Hudson River Maritime Museum property. The facility will offer environmental education programming, public green infrastructure trainings, community boat building, maritime history lectures, and exhibitions. The new Home Port facility will also play a key role in enhancing the environment, quality of life, and support economic vitality of the Kingston community by creating a draw for Hudson Valley tourism and attracting visitors to the Kingston waterfront.
"We are grateful to New York State (Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation)," said Jeff Rumpf, Clearwater's executive director, "We are very excited about the new Home Port in Kingston; not only will it provide a permanent winter home for the sloop, Clearwater, something she has never had in her 40 years on the Hudson, it will also serve as headquarters for Hudson Valley Green Infrastructure, Green Cities, and position our water economy to grow!"
"The structure will be built by local craftsmen using mainly local materials and we are planning a barn-raising event for the fall. This building really looks toward the future— and it's designed to withstand the periodic floods that affect the Rondout," said John C. Weeks, Hudson River Maritime Museum board member and chair for the Barn Building Committee. "Both organizations are grateful to the Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation, and to Assemblyman Cahill for making this wonderful project possible. It will benefit all New Yorkers lucky enough to visit the site, but it will especially benefit the people of the Hudson Valley."
"The partnership between Clearwater and the Hudson River Maritime Museum is going to make a big difference on the Kingston waterfront," said Kate Mitchell, Hudson River Maritime Museum's executive director, "This project gives us the opportunity to better serve the local community. In addition, we've got plans to make this a year-round destination, to draw people in for the cultural and heritage experience they can have here summer or winter. This is just the beginning of really good things."
The Kingston city Planning Board voted unanimously in December for the building proposal. An old fashioned barn-raising involving community members is planned for Fall 2012. Click here to learn more about the Kingston Home Port.
For more information about Clearwater's OPRHP grant award, please contact Eileen Newman, Grants and Major Gifts Coordinator, Hudson River Sloop Clearwater, by Email, or call 845-265-8080, ext.7160.
About the Kingston Home Port Project
Hudson River Sloop Clearwater, Inc., and the Hudson River Maritime Museum have entered into a partnership to provide the sloop Clearwater with a winter port for critical winter maintenance and restoration, to build an upriver environmental education center, and to advance the burgeoning tourism industry in the Hudson Valley region.
The Kingston Home Port will allow better upriver access for Clearwater programming, in addition to acting as a woodshop for the sloop Clearwater as she winters for 6 months out of the year and undergoes critical maintenance and repairs.
The facility will also allow both organizations to increase programming capacity, offering the public environmental education programming and hands-on demonstrations of the maritime history instruction and boat building, community-based special events, and green infrastructure training initiatives for river communities. Additionally, the facility will provide the local rowing club and the Kingston High School Rowing Team much needed storage space.
By bringing New York State history to life through boat building workshops and weaving together elements of Kingston's maritime, industrial, and cultural history, the project is line with the Hudson River Valley's Heritage Area Management Plan's mission "to recognize, preserve, protect, and interpret the nationally significant cultural and natural resources of the Hudson River Valley for the benefit of the nation." This highly visible and accessible venue will make the creek a year round destination support the continued successful economic redevelopment of this historic waterfront, known as a venue for community festivals, concerts, and large scale events, such as "River Day" and "Burning of Kingston".
Perhaps most importantly, the project will spur renewed interest in the sustainable and proper redevelopment of the site and will ideally become part of a larger park system, encompassing the entire Lower Tidal Portion of the Rondout Creek and Kingston Bay.
To combine Clearwater's youth-oriented programming and its sloop with Hudson River Maritime Museum's artifact-rich resources creates a partnership that will celebrate the history of the Hudson Valley and provide vibrant and exciting programs for people of all ages, but particularly for the people who live and work in New York State.
About Clearwater
Clearwater's mission is to preserve and protect the Hudson River, its tributaries and related bodies of water. Clearwater conducts innovative environmental programs, advocacy and celebrations in order to inspire and energize the next generation of environmental leaders. Clearwater's concerts, sloop education programs and environmental advocacy programs have inspired, educated and activated millions of people for over 40 years. Founded in 1969 by music legend and environmental activist Pete Seeger, the organization began with the launch of sloop Clearwater—a majestic replica of the sloops that sailed the Hudson in the 18th and 19th centuries. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the 106-foot-long tall ship is among the first vessels in the U.S. to conduct science-based environmental education aboard a sailing ship, creating the template by which environmental education programs are conducted around the world today. Since the launch of Clearwater, America's Environmental Flagship, more than half a million young people and hundreds of thousands of adults have experienced their first real look at an estuary's ecosystem aboard the sloop.

Beating Tax Cheats Key To Italy's Recovery Plan
ROME (AP) â¿¿ Good plumbers may be worth their weight in gold, but when one was spotted zipping around in a bright red Ferrari, Italian tax police were fast on his trail.
Stamping out entrenched tax evasion is crucial to Premier Mario Monti's quest to keep Italy from succumbing to the European debt crisis, and it is critical to fellow eurozone members in more dire straits, such as Greece and Spain â¿¿ which are also notorious for making cheating the taxman a way of life.
Indeed, Greece's international rescue creditors have been pressing Greece for two years to reform its ailing tax system, citing poor collection as a key factor keeping the country mired in crisis. In Spain, where tax fraud is rampant, as much as ⿬90 billion ($115 billion) is lost each year to tax fraud -- the equivalent of the country's national debt, according to Spain's main tax inspectors union.
To succeed in Italy, authorities will have to catch the legions of self-employed and small business owners who brazenly lie about their earnings, like the plumber in the eastern town of Pescara, who socked away undeclared income in 30 bank accounts, or a successful pastry shop owner in Calabria, who on his tax return claimed he was earning next to crumbs. And those are the less sophisticated schemers. Tax police officials say that wealthy Italians, their companies and foreigners who make their money in Italy are increasingly trying to avoid taxes by using such strategies as falsely declaring that their base of operations or residence is abroad. Another daunting challenge is the so-called "submerged" economy, a term embracing Italians who declare only a fraction or nothing at all of their earnings -- and dentists, lawyers, doctors and other big-earning professionals are frequently among the worst offenders. Tax evasion of all types in Italy every year totals about euros 240 billion ($300 billion), or 15 percent of the country's gross domestic product of ⿬1.6 trillion ($2 trillion), tax police estimate. The massive amount amounts to more than a third of Italy's yearly total receipts from tax ⿿ euros 676 billion ($860 billion), according to 2011 figures from Eurostat.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Boyfriend arrested for East Hampton woman's murder
By Brenda Sullivan
East Hampton CT Police issued a press release today (Jan. 28, 2013) reporting that the boyfriend of slain East Hampton woman Jini Barnum – 38-year-old Anthony L. Garofalo – has been arrested and charged with murder, first-degree strangulation and tampering with physical evidence.
Police state that Garofalo was arraigned at Superior Court in Middletown, CT and held on a $1 million bond.
His case was continued.
Garofalo reported Barnum missing on July 29, 2012 and made a plea on a local news cast for help locating her.
He told police that Barnum, who had given birth to a daughter only six weeks prior, had walked away from the apartment they shared after they had a fight and had not returned.
Barnum's remains were discovered by a woman walking her dog in a wooded area in Glastonbury, CT beside a hiking trail on Sept. 9, 2012.
The CT Medical Examiner determined that the cause of death was strangulation.
Shortly after Barnum was reported as a missing person, police arrested Garofalo for violating terms of his parole. Garofalo is a convicted sex offender. He has been in jail since August. According to a report published in www.newsgather.com, he served eight years in prison for beating and raping a deaf woman he met at a bar, in 2002. (See related links for full story.)
Fox News reported on its 10 p.m. newscast tonight (Jan. 28) that police have a letter Garofalo allegedly wrote to a friend, while incarcerated for the parole violation, in which he writes that he expected to be held until Barnum's body was found and so, he hoped someone would find her soon – implying he knew she was dead and where her body was located.
WFSB Channel 3 (CT) also reported tonight that Garofalo was familiar with the wooded area where Barnum was found, and that Barnum's wallet was found floating in the Salmon River in East Haddam. (See related links for full story.)
The East Hampton Police press release states that today's arrest is the result of an investigation involving several agencies, including:
Glastonbury Police, Connecticut Department of Criminal Justice, Connecticut State Police – K-9 Search and Rescue Team, Connecticut State Police – Major Crime Squad, Connecticut Department of Correction and Parole, Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection Police, Middletown Police Dive Team and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Quick note on the Swedish Olympic roster which was just announced. Lidstrom, Kronwall, Zetterberg, and Holmstrom have been named to the team. Noticeable snub? Mikael Samuelsson. According to @sportsnetmurph (host for Canucks' broadcasts), his reply to that was:
"I'll probably regret saying this, but they can go fuck themselves."
Right wings who were picked over Samuelsson were Daniel Alfredsson (injured), Loui Eriksson, and Frederik Modin.

Indiana Hoosiers
Hoge: Big Ten Tournament Predictions
Adam Hoge gives his predictions for this weekend's Big Ten Tournament.
Hoge: Big Ten Tournament Preview And Analysis
A look at what's at stake for all 12 Big Ten teams as well as a look at the best matchups and other analysis.
Hoosiers Top Spartans For 3rd Win Vs. Top 5 Team
Cody Zeller scored 18 points and Victor Oladipo added 13, leading No. 18 Indiana past No. 5 Michigan State 70-55 on Tuesday night, its third victory over a top five team this season.
No. 23 Indiana Tops Struggling Minnesota 69-50
Christian Watford rediscovered his shooting stroke with 12 points for 23rd-ranked Indiana, and the Hoosiers blew out sputtering Minnesota 69-50 on Sunday.
No. 18 Hoosiers Hold Off Northwestern 71-66
Cody Zeller kept Indiana in the game Wednesday night. Verdell Jones' late charge proved to be the difference.
No. 23 Michigan Beats No. 20 Indiana 68-56
Trey Burke scored 18 points, and No. 23 Michigan raced to a 20-point first-half lead before holding on for a 68-56 victory over No. 20 Indiana on Wednesday night.
Top QB Kiel Picks Notre Dame In Stunning Switch
Kiel was originally committed to Indiana, but backed out that commitment earlier this fall. He committed to LSU Dec. 27, but that didn't last long.
Smith Goes Wild With 28 In Buckeyes' 80-63 Win
Lenzelle Smith Jr. more than doubled his career high with 28 on Sunday to lead No. 5 Ohio State to a surprisingly easy 80-63 victory over seventh-ranked Indiana.
Hoge: Week 13 Big Ten Football Report
In one division, the Big Ten is getting exactly what it wanted when it added Nebraska and split the conference in two divisions to create a conference championship game.
Hoge: Week 13 Big Ten Bowl Projections
The Big Ten might be out of the national title hunt, but the conference still benefitted from this weekend's BCS craziness.
Hoge: Week 12 Big Ten Football Report
Nebraska and Michigan are still in the hunt for the Big Ten title, but Saturday's clash in Ann Arbor also has a BCS twist.
Hoge: Week 11 Big Ten Football Report
There are some good ones this weekend and Penn State-Nebraska was going to be a big game even before all these horrible allegations came out.
Hoge: Week 10 Big Ten Football Report
Here's a crazy, but true thought: Iowa could still play in the inaugural Big Ten Championship Game.
Wildcats Set Records In 59-38 Rout At Indiana
The Wildcats scored on nine of their first 10 possessions, piled up 616 total yards and ended a five-game losing streak with a 59-38 rout of Indiana that looked even easier than the score indicated.
Hoge: Week 9 Big Ten Football Report
While the Badgers will once against lace them up under the lights Saturday — this time at Ohio State — it's the Spartans that are playing in the game of the week.
Hoge: Week 8 Big Ten Football Report
Full preview and predictions of this week's Big Ten action.
Wisch: Illini Perfect, But Not Zook
I didn't watch the Illinois football game last weekend. Turns out, though, I wasn't the only one. Because, apparently, Ron Zook didn't see much of it, either.
Hoge: Week 7 Big Ten Football Report
The Illini host Ohio State in a game they should win. If they lose, I think a lot of concerns about this team will be realized. But how much stock can we put into a win?
No. 19 Illini Beats Indiana 41-20 With Big Plays
Illinois' Nathan Scheelhaase and A.J. Jenkins made Indiana pay for its mistakes Saturday.
Hoge: Week 5 Big Ten Football Report
The Cornhuskers head to Madison and face the defending conference champs in the biggest game of the week — not just in the Big Ten, but nationally.

Suggested Participants
Gathering and Centering 2 minutes Light the chalice or candle. Turn to "Prophets" by Clinton Lee Scott, reading 565 in Singing the Living Tradition, and invite everyone to read responsively with you.
Focusing 2 minutes Review the goals of the workshop and the workshop process with the group. Invite participants to discuss and agree upon the group's guidelines for openness and sharing. Say something like, There is much potential for open sharing throughout this program. On many occasions we will invite participants to share what may be intimate material. Therefore, it is important that people speak only when they are comfortable; it is always okay to pass if people choose not to share. By establishing a norm of respect for each other and our expression within the group, we want to ensure safety and right relations for all participants.
Engage participants in discussing the value of respect and confidentiality in a group and the destructive effects of sarcasm and put-downs. Print your group's guidelines for openness and sharing on newsprint, and post it as a reminder for each session.
Reflecting 10 minutes Divide the group into three parts: firstborns, middlers (with at least one older and one younger sibling), and youngests.
Place the firstborns and youngests at opposite ends of the room; place middlers in the middle of the room. Ask only-child participants to join the firstborns.
Ask each group is asked to draw up a list of ten traits as follows:
Exploring 25 minutes Ask firstborns to share their admiration list. Then ask the youngests to do likewise. Ask youngests to share their dislike list, followed by the firstborns. Next ask middlers to evaluate each list. Ask only what they learned about having an older sibling.
Ask the whole group to discuss the following questions:
Closing 5 minutes Read aloud and quietly ponder the following quotations:
Our siblings push buttons that cast us in roles we felt sure we had let go of long ago—the baby, the peacekeeper, the caretaker, the avoider...It doesn't seem to matter how much time has elapsed or how far we've traveled. —Jane Mersky Leder
Our siblings. They resemble us just enough to make all their differences confusing, and no matter what we choose to make of this, we are cast in relation to them our whole lives long. —Susan Scarf Merrell
If we are not our brother's keeper, at least let us not be his executioner. —Marlon Brando
Having a sister is like having a best friend you can't get rid of. You know whatever you do, they'll still be there. —Amy Li
Big sisters are the crabgrass in the lawn of life. —Charles M. Schultz
Extinguish the chalice or candle.
If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the seriousness of the situation. —Anonymous
When in doubt, don't just do something, stand there. — Murray Bowen
A sailor of uncertain destination cannot discern a good from an ill wind. —Seneca
Gathering and Centering 5 minutes Light the chalice or candle. Turn to "Prophets" by Clinton Lee Scott, reading 565 in Singing the Living Tradition, and invite everyone to read responsively with you.
Focusing 5 minutes Review the goals of the workshop and the workshop process with the group. Invite participants to discuss and agree upon the group's guidelines for openness and sharing. Say something like, There is much potential for open sharing throughout this program. On many occasions we will invite participants to share what may be intimate material. Therefore, it is important that people speak only when they are comfortable; it is always okay to pass if people choose not to share. By establishing a norm of respect for each other and our expression within the group, we want to ensure safety and right relations for all participants.
Reflecting and Exploring 65 minutes Remind participants that the essay discusses the interlocking, mutually influencing dynamics of an "emotional field." Tell them that as with a gravitational field, the characteristic dynamics of the field shape personal behavior far more than the inherent nature or traits of a given member. Their position in the field, more than their intention, will determine much of their action as a leader.
Explain that in this exercise, participants will have opportunity both to observe and to experience how the "togetherness force" of the relational field governs their actions and can be at odds with their "self force" ambitions.
Form a circle of seven to twelve people. Ensure that there are at least two observers remaining outside the circle. With larger groups, repeat the exercise as necessary so all can both participate and observe.
Ask the group to form a circle facing inward. Then ask each person to choose two others as partners without indicating who they have chosen. Each participant's goal is to move so that they create an equilateral triangle with their chosen two people.
Begin the game. For five minutes (or as an equilibrium has been established, which rarely happens), each participant should try to find their proper place in relation to their partners, taking care not to give signals as to whom they have chosen. The circle will move and break apart in unpredictable ways. Ask observers to speculate as to which three people constitute a partnership and to listen to others' comments as the group tries to work things out.
After equilibrium has been established or the time has run out, stop the game. Ask people to share aloud from wherever they end up. Pose the following questions to those in the circle:
Ask observers outside the circle the following questions:
Repeat the exercise for five minutes to allow observers a chance to be in the circle. The same rules apply. After the second round, ask these questions:
Form groups of three and distribute Handout 3, The Seven Laws of an Emotional Triangle, and Handout 4, Letter to the Minister. Have one member of each group read the letter aloud.
Open an unstructured conversation with these questions:
Integrating 35 minutes
The essay discusses how important it is for congregational leaders to have clear heads and to be well differentiated. It further argues that leadership is an emotional process by which leaders concentrate on self-regulation: "Leadership as self-differentiation suggests that the leader's job is to be connected to but not defined by the emotional field of her family or congregation."
Ask participants to count off by five. Separate them into smaller groups so that all of the ones are in one group, the twos in another, etc. Once organized, direct their attention to the quotations you have prepared on newsprint.
Ask group members to create a list of at least five ways that church leaders (such as the minister, chair of the board, board members, and president) can:
Call the groups together and ask for one act of leader differentiation from each group. Ask the group to name common themes or trends and then to discuss this concluding question: How would a clearer mission or vision statement or covenant of right relations empower leaders?
Ask each person to write on an index card one thing they will practice from this workshop to strengthen their ability to be a congregational leader. Collect the cards, either to present all suggestions to the group at a future meeting or to mail back to each participant three months later.
Closing 10 minutes
Ask everyone to form a circle and join hands. Then say, In this moment, we experience the self force in our unique inward and outward expression. We know also the togetherness force in our desire to be intimately connected. Like PushMePullYou, we are deeply connected. Our goal here has been to introduce some shared ways of thinking that will empower us to be better leaders. As you go on your way today, remember these words:
Sing together "For All That Is Our Life," hymn 128 in Singing the Living Tradition.

Comments about Capri Sandal:
I LOVE these sandals. I have had so many compliments on them. They are great dressy or casual and so comfortable. I have the toffee color and they match everything. I wore them with a nice dress to a wedding and danced all night with no foot pain. I took them on vacation to Puerto Rico and wore them non-stop to the beach, around town, on short hikes and pretty much everywhere.
At first I thought the sandal was expensive compared to similar styles by different companies. Once I wore these shoes, I realized they are worth every penny. They are made for comfort with attention to detail. I have terrible feet and need to wear orthopedic shoes or my feet start hurting. This is the first sandal (or cute shoe) that I have been able to wear for days without any foot pain. I love these shoes so much that I am getting rid of all my other sandals because this sandal does it all (and is WAY more comfortable).

It looks like theres still a bit of money to be made in the E.T. license, so long as you dont mind said money being made on filthy, recently unearthed copies of the propertys ill-fated Atari 2600 video game. The results of a recent auction featuring a collection of the games actually netted $37,000.
Atari is still making games believe it or not. Their latest offering is called Minimum and it's a third-person, 5-on-5 battle-arena game. Now I know that description sounds pretty lame and doesn't seem terribly interesting, but the truth is that the weapon customization, character customization and titan battles (yes there are titans) all help give the game a bit of an identity all its own.
Atari is bringing back an old classic and giving it the reboot treatment... again. After trying their hand at reviving the game back in 2008 with Alone in the Dark, Atari has decided that six years was enough time and space to create a bit of marketing separation from the last outing.
You're here about the free stuff and your main concern is whether or not a free game is worth the process of finding out how to get your hands on one of the Steam codes.
The long-rumored landfill of Atari's abysmal E.T. carts that helped lead toward the complete, crushing collapse of the home console entertainment arena in 1983, known mostly as the video game crash of '83, has been uncovered.
The planned remake of retro shooter Blood will not be happening after all. Monolith Productions founder Jace Hall revealed this week that Atari, the company that owns the rights to the game, has declined to continue the project.
Its a bittersweet day for fans of classic gaming as Ataris U.S. operations file for chapter 11 bankruptcy as the company seeks to separate from the structural financial encumbrances of their French parent holding company, Atari S.A., and secure independent capital for future growth, according to a statement provided by the company. So, Atari U.S. as we know it is going the way of the dodo but, like its fine feathered friend the Phoenix, the company hopes to rise from the ashes anew.
Special Forces: Team X is the upcoming third-person shooter from Micropose, Atari and Zombie Studios. It pits players against players in typical arena-based, hardcore shooting action with lots of guns, dogs, explosives, chainsaws and air strikes. If it sounds like some sort of hybrid of Team Fortress meets Gears of War meets Call of Duty, then you're not far off the mark.
Primal Rage II is one of those rare canceled video games that has earned an almost legendary status. It was slated to be the follow-up to a beloved fighting game that featured mammoth dinosaurs. Other than an article or two hyping the production of the game in the mid-90's, however, Primal Rage II basically disappeared from the face of the Earth. Now, nearly 20 years following its cancellation, we're finally able to see what the game would have looked like in a newly released video showing off actual gameplay.
An Atari classic has returned from the backlogs of history to entertain gamers once more as Warlords makes its way to the PlayStation Network.
A half-time tribute video has almost reached viral status due to being one of the most awesome half-time shows for a college football game. The choreography, the music, the timing, it's all pitch perfect. The near 10 minute video comes from Ohio State University's marching band during the game against Nebraska, in which they do a half-time show celebrating video games.
Video game publishing giant Atari is turning 40 and have recently kick started a years worth of celebrations with a Facebook giveaway sweepstakes. Theyve also released a couple of fund bits of multimedia taking a look back at the companys long history, which can be found following the break.
Atari will be revisiting the good old days of gaming with the recently announced Centipede: Origins, though likely will a heck of a lot more bells and whistles than the original arcade hit.
To celebrate Atari's 40th birthday, the publisher recently kicked off a competition tasking indie developers with putting their own spin on the classic Pong formula. The competition has finally been narrowed down to the semi-finalist level, with videos for each game now available for your viewing pleasure.
Back before video games had massive budgets that publishers complained about every other week, and back before video game advertisements consisted of well paced Hollywoood-style snippets, there were ads that were trying to be hip and cool by including rap music into the mix.

Report: South Dakota Authorities Investigating Minnesota Priest
Wednesday, November 13, 2013
(St. Paul, MN) -- Reverend Clarence Vavra of Minnesota is reportedly under investigation on the Rosebud Indian Reservation in South Dakota for alleged sexual abuse of children. Minnesota Public Radio News cites supervisory special agent Grace Her Many Horses as saying police are looking for men who may have been abused by Vavra while he worked on the reservation in the 1970s. She adds they are seeking help from both the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis and the FBI. Vavra retired in 2003 from the priesthood and lives in New Prague, Minnesota.

I have made a map in which there is a pit. I own the first Unreal, so I naturally filled this pit with stone titans. I entered the map as a spectator and proceeded to watch body after body plummet in....AND KILL the huge monsters with impact hammers. Why did the titans just stand there and die?

What some may just consider an elementary school song-and-dance production may be more than what it seems.
An event being planned at Black Fox Elementary School that will allow fifth-graders to share the stories of important people throughout Tennessee's history has drawn the attention of several groups throughout the community who have one goal — to make it happen.
The school will be hosting a production called "Tennessee History Live," along with a student exhibit and a fundraising auction, this Friday night at 6, with doors opening at 5:30.
Teacher Pam Coleman said the event has been funded with some $2,000 in grants from the local Allied Arts Council.
Throughout the event, students will act, dance and do other things to portray historic figures from Tennessee, everyone from Elvis Presley to Myra Inman, the namesake of Cleveland's Inman Street. The audience will "meet" a dozen historic figures, ranging from a black woman who grew up in slavery and later became a successful doctor to a man who became the president of the United States.
As poignant as some of the characters' stories will be, Coleman said it is also worth noting the hours and hours students, teachers and volunteers have put into the event.
Teachers oversaw the students as they researched the people they will be portraying.
Sara Cross has visited the school on numerous occasions to assist the students with painting set pieces.
Many of the costumes were made at the school. School nurse Melinda Tripp has been doubling as a seamstress when she is not busy helping students who have gotten hurt or ill. Others were donated; the costume for Myra Inman is on loan from the Museum Center at Five Points.
Local dance instructor Paula Duff Garner has visited the school to teach the kids their moves, and dance practices have happened whenever and wherever possible, whether they be onstage or in a hallway.
Coleman said the production may sound like a frivolous effort, but it has been an experience that has taught the children both about themselves and about the people they are portraying.
"I found that kids really became more confident," Coleman said.
She said one of the male students taking part in the event had been known as the "class jock." He has since expanded his horizons and now says he enjoys things like dancing. One of the girls used to mumble her lines because she was too shy to speak, but she was able to memorize her lines and can now speak into a microphone with clarity.
Many students acting in the production said they enjoyed learning about their characters.
Fifth-grader Emma Holder, who will play Sarah Tucker Johnston, said it's been "kind of educational" and "a bit like time travel."
"I didn't really know about her," Holder said. "Whenever they [the audience members] leave, I want them to know more about her."
Classmate Michaela Bidon, who will play Nancy Ward, eagerly shared several of the facts the audience will learn about her character.
All of the students in the fifth-grade class have helped with the production in some capacity. Students have painted, danced, written lines and done other things to prepare.
Practices have been happening at least twice a week for the past couple of months and every day this week. The entire production has been "a huge learning experience" for everyone involved, she said. Even the grown-ups have had to learn things like how to stretch a dollar for what could have been an event costing more than $2,000.
Black Fox Elementary is just one local school that regularly holds theater productions to allow their students — and by extension, everyone else involved — to learn and show their appreciation for the arts at the same time.

The Debian team has announced that Debian 7.0 'wheezy' will include the Linux kernel 3.2.
According to Ben this is currently in unstable and will soon enter testing. The kernel team is open to backporting some features from later kernel versions, particularly to support newer hardware.
So what new feature to expect from it? The only featureset provided will be 'rt' (realtime), currently built for amd64 only. The team may add realtime support for other architectures if there is interest.

About 3 years ago, I was given a passiflora cutting. The person who gave it to me, didn't know its species and never had any fruits. I planted the cutting and for the first time in 3 years, it has finally given us some fruits. Some of them have just turned yellow. Is there a way to identify the species and figure out if the fruits are actually edible (besides eating it)? I searched through the posts in this forum, but couldn't figure it out. If they can help, here are some close-ups of the fruit and flower. Thanks in advance. |
Follow-Up Postings:
It looks like my Passiflora Caerulea. Yes, the fruits are edible. |
P. caerulea is edible, but most people don't like the taste. I've run into a few who do, and the only way to find out is by tasting it. I think it often makes empty/hollow fruits. If you don't see dark seeds enclosed in a red gelatinous material (the aril), then there is nothing to eat. |
