Part 2: DoD finds clear benefits in aftermath of Goldwater-Nichols
Thursday - 12/8/2011, 5:30am EST
When Congress overhauled the Pentagon's organizational structure with the Goldwater-Nichols Act 25 years ago, even its strongest backers weren't sure how well it would work in the real world. But within just a few years, the benefits were clear.
The more than four-year effort to overhaul the Pentagon's management structure didn't come with any help from the Pentagon itself. The Joint Chiefs fought the effort every step of the way, accusing Congressional reformers of being unpatriotic and telling them their bill would do severe harm to the military.
But once the reforms were passed and signed by the President, the vitriolic resistance seemed to melt away almost immediately, according to officials who were responsible for passing the bill and implementing its provisions.
Former Congressman Ike Skelton (AP)
"They saluted, they knew we meant business, and each of the services really worked hard to implement it," said former Congressman Ike Skelton, who pressed for the reforms beginning in 1982 and left office in January after serving as chairman of the Armed Services Committee. "I really have to give them credit."
One possible reason for the change in tone — by June of 1987, all of the military service chiefs who had fought the reforms and whose power was reduced by Goldwater-Nichols, had their terms expire and were replaced.
"They didn't know about the power their predecessors had that we had taken away from them," Skelton said. "They were now the head of a service that provided warriors to a combatant commander wherever they may be. Prior to that, the Joint Chiefs had a lot to say about how things were conducted during a conflict. We took that and streamlined it under the chairman."
New reporting structure to the President
Goldwater-Nichols overhauled the Joint Chiefs not just by reducing the influence of the individual military services, but by making the chairman the principal military advisor to the President. That got rid of the consensus-based decision process that critics said yielded "least common denominator" military advice. It also strengthened the role of combatant commanders, then known as "CINCs," and instilled a culture of jointness between the military services through personnel reforms. Follow-on legislation in 1987 also mandated the instruction of joint doctrine to military service members at war colleges.
James Locher, the former Senate Armed Services staffer whose defense reorganization report laid much of the foundation for Goldwater-Nichols, went on to teach some of those courses. Within a few years of Goldwater-Nichols' passage, the idea of jointness already was becoming second-nature to young officers, he said.
"Goldwater-Nichols did the broad strokes on moving to jointness," he said. "But there was lots of innovation inside the Department of Defense. When people kind of understood what was possible, they developed ideas that took this way beyond what anybody could have imagined in 1986.
And just five years after the passage of the act, the reforms in military organization saw their first major real-world test. Operation Desert Storm gave the military its first large-scale wartime experience with a greatly strengthened combatant commander, Gen. Norman Schwarzkopf, and a Chairman of the Joint Chiefs as principal military advisor, Gen. Colin Powell.
"He had come to understand the importance of these particular changes," Locher said. "For the nation, we were quite fortunate that such a skillful chairman came in at such a pivotal moment. Gen. Powell implemented the ideas fully and we started seeing the benefits of some of the provisions."

Benefits quickly became clear
In 1992, Gen. David Jones, a former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, found himself before the House Armed Services Committee. Ten years earlier, his testimony before that same committee lit the fuse for the congressional drive to reform the Pentagon. This time, he was being called to examine the outcome of Desert Storm. Jones said he was happy to be able to talk about military success instead of failure.

"Clearly, this was a textbook operation," he said at the 1992 hearing. "If I rated the before-and-after of Goldwater-Nichols as to how we planned and operated and integrated, before, we were about a three. We're at about a seven now."
Jones said without Goldwater-Nichols, Gen. Schwarzkopf, who earned fame as the commander of the swift military campaign, might never have been the leader of Central Command. Before the reform, joint duty assignments weren't where the military services sent their best and brightest officers. Rather, those jobs were seen as career killers.
Locher said Schwarzkopf and Desert Storm helped to build the importance of those joint assignments in the military services and in the minds of their respective officer corps.
"Officers knew after that that career advancement would be enhanced by going into joint positions and they began to build a joint culture," he said. "So the implementation of Goldwater-Nichols was a lot smoother that you might have imagined. That's in part because of key leaders on the military side of the Pentagon."
Not everything went as planned
But 25 years after Goldwater-Nichols, some reforms haven't work as well as its drafters may have hoped.
"The procurement reform pieces are still very much a work in progress," said Rudy deLeon, who served as a deputy secretary of Defense in the Clinton administration.
He also worked for the House Armed Services Committee during the passage and implementation of Goldwater-Nichols. "The act created the position of the undersecretary for acquisition, technology and logistics, and we've had some outstanding people move into that job. But there's a lot more to do," deLeon said.
At the time Congress passed Goldwater-Nichols, DoD procurement scandals were in the headlines far more than the topic of Defense organization. In the mid-1980s, the Pentagon came under scrutiny for buying $600 toilet seats and $400 hammers. The bill that ended up passing in 1986 incorporated some of the procurement reform remedies recommended by the presidential Packard Commission.
"They wanted to move procurement programs to someone who would manage them full time," deLeon said. "Prior to that, the military services would manage the procurements and the Pentagon would really only get involved in the research and development phase."
Rudy deLeon, former deputy secretary of Defense (AP)
But DeLeon said DoD still hasn't managed to get its arms around the contracting process, the requirements process and the budgeting process. Nonetheless, he said he thinks Goldwater-Nichols can provide a guidepost to future national security reform.
"Congress is searching on why Goldwater-Nichols was so successful, and you can see them struggling with those issues when they created the Director of National Intelligence and the Department of Homeland Security," DeLeon said. "I think there are a lot of models in Goldwater-Nichols that other agencies can learn."
Locher agreed. After working in the Senate and in the Pentagon, he went on to found the Project on National Security Reform. The group produced a report recommending a Goldwater-Nichols type approach to the rest of the federal government, at least where national security is concerned.
"Our agencies are strapped for resources, and they're not prepared for the challenges of the 21st century," Locher said. "But, they need to be able to work together and that's going to take some major changes in our federal government organization. It's going to take a transformation."
A model for other agencies?
Locher said the national security system of 2011 is plagued by two problems: complexity and speed of change. While businesses have tackled those problems by setting up horizontal organizational structures, federal agencies are as vertically oriented as ever, he said.
"We have been dominated by the departments since 1947, and the integrating mechanisms — the National Security Council and its subgroups — are weak by comparison. In the Defense Department, we have the Joint Staff; we have the combatant commands; we have joint task forces and even more subordinate commands that know how to work jointly today," Locher said. "In the rest of our government, we'll need the same kinds of changes."
Locher also said many agencies have national security missions but they aren't treated that way. He said in too many people's minds, the national security community still is only made up of the military, diplomats and the intelligence community.
"But in today's world, national security is the economy, it's health, it's trade, and those elements all need to be integrated into the national security system. So there are major changes ahead for our government," he said.
Locher said he's not calling for a massive government reorganization. Agency structures can stay as they are, but he thinks the government needs strong integrating forces to bring the full capabilities of agencies together to quickly solve big challenges.
He said in many recent cases, it's failed to do so: Hurricane Katrina, reconstruction missions in Iraq and Afghanistan, and even the Arab Spring are some of the examples he cites.
And, as in Goldwater-Nichols, employees need to be encouraged and rewarded for working jointly across organizational charts, Locher said.
Skelton agreed. In 2010, together with Rep. Geoff Davis (R-Ky.), he tried to pass a Goldwater-Nichols approach to civilian agencies. The bill got nowhere.
Skelton said prospects for passage of a bold effort like Goldwater-Nichols or his 2010 bill are a lot dimmer in 2011 than they were in 1986.
"It would be a double major challenge to get everybody in line today," Skelton said. "We had Republicans and Democrats on both sides of the Capitol on board back in 1986. The big thing about this is you've got to change the culture, you've got to change the way you do business every day. Goldwater-Nichols did that for the military and I think someday we'll do that for the rest of the government."

Heat Loss
Hot water temperature drops en route from the water heater to the fixture or appliance. How much heat is lost depends on the length of the hot water pipe and the air temperature surrounding the pipe. If the pipe runs through an unheated crawlspace or basement or along an exterior wall, the hot water temperature drop can be significant, especially in winter. The solution here is to insulate the hot water pipes. Also consider a hot water recirculating system for distant fixtures.

Asa Peregrine is my favorite, too. I like the combination of a Biblical and non-Biblical name that yet have a similar, Pilgrim-era sort of feeling. The sound and look are good, too--the longer, more rarefied Peregrine nicely balances the shorter, earthier Asa.
Asa Hawthorne might be my second choice. It has everything I like about the Peregrine combo except that the rhythm is less ideal--the accents and syllable counts of Asa and Hawthorne are the same.
The others are all nice, but these are by far my favorites."He telleth the number of the stars; He calleth them all by their names."

Classical Liberalism in the Age of Obama
LUNCH 11:30 a.m., LECTURE 12:00 p.m.
The election of Barack Obama was historic. But what does his administration portend for classical liberalism? Senator Obama campaigned for higher taxes on the wealthy. His administration enacted a $787 billion economic stimulus. It has also increased federal spending and budget deficits.
Professor Tibor Machan will address these issues and others in his Athenaeum talk.
A former editor of the libertarian magazine, Reason, and a graduate of Claremont McKenna College, Professor Machan is a scholar and author of dozens of books on individual rights, libertarianism, and ethics. He is professor emeritus in the department of philosophy at Auburn University, and holds the R. C. Hoiles Chair of Business Ethics and Free Enterprise at the Argyros School of Business & Economics at Chapman University in Orange, California. Professor Machan is a research fellow at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University, an adjunct faculty member of the Ludwig von Mises Institute, and an adjunct scholar at the Cato Institute.
Tibor Machan's visit to CMC is sponsored by the Salvatori Center for the Study of Individual Freedom in the Modern World.
Silhouette/Shadow: A Film by GAO XINGJIAN
Directors: Gao Xingjian, Alain Melka, Jean-Louis Darmyn
Gao Xingjian, China's only Nobel Laureate, is renowned for his novel Soul Mountain (1989 tr. 1999). But Gao's art reaches into different media; an exile living in Paris, he continues to paint and to write and produce numerous plays. Recently he has written and directed a film, La Silhouette sinon l'hombre or, in English, Shadow (2006). Filmed in Marseille, Shadow is, in Gao's words, a "cinepoem," a multi-layered narrative, experimental film based visually upon the imagery evoked in his free verse poem, The Way of the Wandering Bird (L'Errance de L'oisea). The work juxtaposes the luxurious ease that a bird enjoys when soaring high up in the sky with the pure fragility of life and the omnipresence of nature. What lies at the crux of the film is the contents and philosophy of this poem. In addition the film focuses on a plot drawn from Gao's life during the filming, the rehearsals of Gao's theater productions, The Man Who Questions Death (2007) and Snow in August (2000). The film is neither documentary (autobiography) nor fiction, but a unique genre of its own. Its plot is haunting and simple: A man takes a walk in the city. Very soon, memories and imaginings emerge and he enters into a pure creative state, conjuring glimpses of an unfinished life. Situated between life and death, there are scenes of human relations, men and women, the individual and the group, childhood nostalgia and war. . .The solitary artist, who is always seeking the meaning of emptiness and looking for an indefinite space, leads the audience on a subtle and powerful journey. The Gould Center for Humanistic Studies is pleased to present the American premier of this remarkable film.
Because of his health, Gao will not be traveling from Paris for this event.
Goa Xingjian
Translated from the French by Ned Burgess and Fiona Sze-Lorrain
If you are a bird
No more than a bird
With the wind's first breath
You fly away
With an eye round and wide
You observe through darkness this sacral place below
Beyond the swamp of misfortune
Wandering through the night
You listen to the whispering air and a beating heart
Aimless yet at ease
Free from choices, you circle or soar ahead
With no obligation to return
Why revisit such hidden scrupules
Worries, constraints, and rancour
You shed the burden of the past
Liberty is now at your wingtips
Hovering, you spiral as you desire
You dive then skim across the sky
This heavy old land starts to shift
Beginning to move and follow you
First like an undulating cloth
Then like a wall swelling
Perspective, an illusory obsession, disappear
So many unexpected marvels in a row
In one broad stroke
You penetrate fog and clouds
Welcoming the glimmer of the first daylight
Gliding above the moving mountains
Then over a lake in a miraculous spiral
This is how your spirit voyages
Between desert and sea, at the meeting of day and night
An immense eye leads you towards the unknown
From near to far dissolves to infinity
What you desire to see yet dare not imagine
Blurred beyond perception
Suddenly you will reach
In a dazzling luminosity
Emptiness as much as plenitude
Merges eternity with its instant
Within a transparency of time
From shadows and cracks
A forgotten haze now leaks
All that you have never had—as ephemeral as unforeseen
Yet the slightest distraction leaves you blind
And you fall back into darkness
Knowing too well you are not a bird
Incapable of running from anguish
That assails you endlessly
Like the merciless din of everyday life
Need not resist
You should at least find a haven
For the quietness of your soul, if you still have one
A space somewhere
An universe, neither paradise nor hell
To rest the weightlessness of your senses
Before nature claims them once more
So they may die in silence
But how can one reach this immaculate ground
And attain such serenity
At the end of a life so torn and worn
And have you ever seen an aging bird
Weak, pitiful or anxious
Who complains, who whines
Who betrays, who deceives
Not to speak of one who begs for survival
Although he, faced with agony, has prepared his refuge
Where he wits calmly for his life to end
This holy site, you find it nowhere
Known only to all the birds
Enjoying true freedom till the time arrives
To pay their last hommage
Computers and Mathematics: Problems and Prospects
There is no question that the recent advent of the modern computer has had a dramatic impact on what mathematicians do and on how they do it. However, there is increasing evidence that many apparently simple problems may in fact be forever beyond any conceivable computer attack. In this talk, Professor Ronald Lewis Graham will describe a variety of mathematical problems in which computers either have had, may have or will probably never have a significant role in their solutions.
Professor Graham is one of the world's best-known mathematicians, computer theorists, and technology visionaries. In math, he pioneered worst-case analysis in scheduling theory, online algorithms, quasi-randomness, and Ramsey Theory--a branch of pure math that states that complete disorder is impossible. Graham is in the Guinness Book of World Records for using the largest number ever used in a mathematical proof (so large, there isn't even a standard notation for it), now known as "Graham's number.". During his long career at AT&T Graham's work on "hard problems" in mathematics led him to focus on the complexity of routing millions of telephone calls. And his work on routing was influential in the early architecture of the Internet, as well as the vision of "anywhere/anytime access to the wireless Web" pursued by Cal-(IT)2.
Ronald Graham holds the Irwin and Joan Jacobs Endowed Chair in Computer and Information Science at the University of California- San Diego (UCSD) and is Chief Scientist of the California Institute for Telecommunications and Information Technology. He joined the UCSD faculty in 1999, after a 37-year career with AT&T. Graham received his Ph.D. in mathematics from U.C. Berkeley in 1962. From 1962-95, he was director of information sciences at (AT&T) Bell Labs, and from 1996-99 Chief Scientist of AT&T Labs. Graham is the Treasurer of the National Academy of Sciences, a Fellow of American Academy of Arts and Sciences, a Fellow of the Association of Computing Machinery, and a past President of both the American Mathematical Society, and the Mathematical Association of America. He has won numerous awards in the field of mathematics, including the Polya Prize in Combinatorics and the Steele Prize for Lifetime Achievement awarded in 2003 by the American Mathematical Society.
Responding to the Needs of Women in Prison
There are currently over 115,000 women in the United States prison system. Over 11,500 of these women are incarcerated here in California, comprising 10% of the national total. For the last two decades, the number of women incarcerated nationally has grown at a rate nearly double that for men. These bleak figures beg the question: Have women become that much more dangerous, or is the real problem with our criminal justice system?
Despite this reality, California Institution for Women (CIW) Warden Dawn Davison is perseverant in her efforts at reform. Warden Davison will be speaking at the Athenaeum about the unique issues incarcerated women face, and the programs at CIW that specifically address women's needs. Warden Davison's thoughts are paramount to gender responsive issues, with emphasis placed on education, life and workplace skills, the maintenance of family and community relationships, successful reintegration into society and breaking the intergenerational cycle of incarceration. This forward thinking has been instrumental as CIW looks forward to opening the first baby nursery at a female correctional facility in California, later this year. Her hallmark of rehabilitation occurred on March 8, 2008, when CIW graduated its first "on campus" college class, through Chaffey College, with a candidate class of 13 Associate of Arts degrees in Liberal Arts.
Dawn S. Davison began her career with the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation in 1986 at the California Institution for Women (CIW), serving as Personnel Supervisor and Staff Services Analyst. In 1994, she was promoted to Business Manager at Calipatria State Prison, where she remained until 1997. She served as an Associate Warden at Los Angeles County State Prison from 1997 to 2000 and at the California Rehabilitation Center, Norco, from 2000 to 2002. Dawn returned to CIW in 2002 to take the position of Chief Deputy Warden. In 2004, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger appointed her as Warden of CIW.
Ms. Davison earned a Bachelor of Science degree from Loyola Marymount University in 1978 and a Masters of Science degree in Counseling from California State University, Fullerton in 1982. She also attended Chaffey College in the 80's.
Warden Davison's visit is sponsored by the student outreach organization SOURCE, with generous support from the Kravis Leadership Institute. Advocacy bracelets will be available for purchase ($5) before and after the address.
The Believers: A Documentary Film by Todd Holland
CMC Alumna Beth Burkhart '94 co-produced the documentary film, The Believers (2006), which follows Transcendence, the world's first transgender gospel choir — it will leave you thinking differently about gender and faith. The Believers follows the journey of the choir and its members from its inception until winning an Outmusic Award in 2004. The Believers is currently broadcast on LOGO, distributed to universities, libraries and churches, and was named by Video Librarian as one of the top documentary films in 2007. Variety praised the film as an "engaging documentary," with an "upbeat, instrumental tenor." Beth Burkhart will attend the screening to talk about how the film came about and its subsequent impact.
Beth Burkhart is a marketer and filmmaker with a passion for social justice. From 1999-2008 Beth worked in brand management at The Clorox Company, and has recently spent time traveling in South America and Southeast Asia.
Beth has served on the SFLGBT Community Center board of directors since 2006 and is presently the board co-chair. She earned her MBA from UCLA's Anderson Graduate School of Management in 1999, her B.A. in Economics and International Relations from Claremont McKenna College in 1994. She grew up in Phoenix, Arizona and lives in San Francisco.
Beth's talk is sponsored by the CMC Diversity Committee.
2009 Henry R. Kravis Prize in Leadership
History of the Afghan Institute of Learning
LUNCH 11:30 a.m., LECTURE 12:00 p.m.
Claremont McKenna College and the Kravis Leadership Institute recently announced the selection of Sakena Yacoobi, founder of the Afghan Institute of Learning, to receive the fourth annual Henry R. Kravis Prize in Leadership. The Kravis Prize, which carries a $250,000 award designated to the honoree's organization, recognizes extraordinary leadership in the nonprofit sector. Dr. Yacoobi was selected for her outstanding record providing an estimated 350,000 women and children with access to education and health care each year.
Sakena Yacoobi has spent the last 28 years providing education, training, and health care services to women and children in Afghanistan and Pakistan. One of her enduring contributions is focusing attention on the issue and importance of girls' education in Afghanistan.
Dr. Yacoobi's achievements demonstrate significant courage and persistence in the face of extensive obstacles to educating girls and women in Afghanistan. During the Taliban's rule, for example, the education of girls was prohibited. Dr. Yacoobi and the staff of AIL took great risks in operating 80 underground home schools for 3,000 girls during the 1990s.
Born in Herat, Afghanistan, Dr. Yacoobi came to the United States in the 1970s and received her education at U.S. universities. In 1990, she left a successful career as a professor and consultant in the U.S. and returned to Afghanistan during the Taliban's rule to work with her native people. Dr. Yacoobi founded the Afghan Institute of Learning (AIL) in 1995 while working in Afghan refugee camps in Pakistan. AIL's first program initiative was to establish learning centers in the refugee camps in response to the women's requests for educational opportunities for themselves and their children.
AIL currently operates 41 women's learning/education centers, five health centers, and three mobile health clinics. Since 1996, the learning/education centers have trained over 15,000 teachers and health education training to more than 500,000 women. In 2003, AIL founded Gawher Shad University in response to the lack of post-secondary education opportunities for Afghan women. To date, 179 students have graduated and 182 are currently enrolled.
Seventy percent of AIL's 450 staff members are Afghan women. Under Dr. Yacoobi's leadership, AIL has become one of the largest nonprofit organizations in Afghanistan and currently serves more than 350,000 women and children each year. Her innovative approaches to education and community involvement serve as a model in the sector, and AIL actively assists in building the capacity of other organizations and entities. The concept of women's learning centers and AIL's interactive teaching methods have been replicated by many nonprofit organizations in Afghanistan as well as by government and educational institutions. AIL also provides training and technical assistance to small, local Afghan community-based organizations to help build the capacity of Afghanistan's civil society sector and increase the enrollment of female students.
Dinner Theater
Don't Drink the Water by Woody Allen
The Athenaeum is pleased to once again feature CMC's own student-run theater group, Under the Lights (UTL). Each spring, UTL presents a dinner theater show in the Athenaeum.
This year, the students will perform Woody Allen's comedy, Don't Drink the Water (1966). In an Eastern European communist country, a family of tourists runs into the American embassy, chased closely by police who suspect them of spying. The family has taken pictures of what they thought was a cultural landmark but was actually a restricted government area! The American ambassador is gone and has left his bumbling son in charge. The son quickly turns the situation into an international crisis. Now if they ever want to return home, the family must find a way to escape the embassy without the communist police noticing. "Don't Drink the Water" is a zany and hilarious farce with classic Woody Allen wit.
The play stars Naomi Bagdonas'09, Solon Christensen-Szalanski'10, Daniel Feblowitz (Pomona '11), Cecily Keppel (HMC '11), Zeben Kopchat'12, Lindsay Mandel '09, Max Menke (Pitzer '10), David Pezzola'09, Amanda Sardis '09, Daniela Spencer'12, Divya Vishwanath '11, Katherine Wernet '11, and Edward Zaki'11.

The University of Southampton is a "red-brick" British public university located in the city of Southampton, England. The origins of the university can be dated back to the founding of the Hartley Institution in 1862 by Henry Robertson Hartley. In 1902 the Institution developed into the Hartley University College, with degrees awarded by the University of London. On 29 April 1952, HM Queen Elizabeth II, granted a Royal Charter to give the University of Southampton full university status. This was the first Royal Charter granted by HM Queen Elizabeth II on her accession to the throne. The university is a member of the Russell Group of research universities and the Worldwide Universities Network. It currently has over 17,000 undergraduate and 7,000 postgraduate students, making it the largest university by higher education students in the South East region. The main campus is located in the Highfield area of Southampton. Four other campuses are located throughout the city alongside the School of Art based in nearby Winchester. The university has a strong emphasis on research, having one of the highest proportions of income derived from research activities in Britain. Southampton is highly regarded as a centre for educational excellence, ranking nationally as a top 20 university in various tables, and regularly rated in the top 10 of the National Student Survey.

Ordered a pair for each of my children (one green and one blue) and they love wearing them. They are nice and lightweight and super cute! Glad I got them 30% off because I could not find them that highly discounted anywhere else online.

The Bulldogs knew what they were up against, and for six innings, matched well with Amory and their ace pitcher, Will Cox. The Panthers eventually broke away in the seventh, scoring the lone run of the game to give them a 1-0 advantage in the third round series with a 1-0 win.
"That was a well-played game that neither team deserved to lose, really and truly," NAHS head coach John Walker said. "Both pitchers were phenomenal. We got the pitches we needed out of Tyler (Basil) and he gave us a chance to win. They made a couple plays and that was the difference in the ball game."
Basil pitched six innings, getting the 'Dawgs out of several tough jams, the biggest in the sixth inning. The senior loaded the bases on two walks and a single with no outs, then struck out two and the defense made a play at home plate to keep the game scoreless. Basil finished with eight strikeouts, allowing four hits.
"I think you saw a different guy tonight, the one that was very similar to last year," Walker said. "He was really, really good, and he had three pitches working for him. He was kind of shaky in the beginning, but in those middle innings, he was phenomenal. He gave us a chance to win."
Amory opened the seventh placing two on base off an error and walk, and at that point, Basil was replaced by Easton Hall for the remainder of the game. After choosing to intentionally walk John Randle to load the bases, Chandler Riggs brought in the game-winning run with his single.
Offensively, the Bulldogs' were stifled by Cox, as they we held to only three hits, two of which came in the first inning that placed a runner in scoring position. Cox pitched the complete game, finishing with 11 strikeouts.
"We've seen some really good arms this year, but what's great about him is that he has three pitches that he throws very well, and in high school you don't see a lot of tight sliders like that," Walker said. "We knew he had it, and there's not way you can prepare for it until you see it. He did a good job."
The Bulldogs now look to today's game two at home, and for Walker, the obvious choice on the mound will be Tyler Beaty, who helped give the 'Dawgs a game three win against Lewisburg on Monday.
"He's a seven inning, 100 pitch guy, and if we went with him tonight, that would put him with about 300 pitches in a week, and I didn't feel real good about doing that on short rest," Walker said. "I expect him to be pretty good tomorrow and give us a chance to win, and I expect it out of their guy, too. We're going to give them our best shot, and I think Tyler Beaty is our best shot."
Today's game is slated for a 1 p.m. start at Legion Field.

Love it!
I have recently purchased some of the Shepherds hooks for my wedding decor business. I love these items, they look fabulous lining the aisle for a ceremony, or at other locations throughout the room for added decor. The lanterns are a great look for the outdoor, rustic themed weddings, or the kissing balls can add a bit of tradition and elegance. Very sturdy and love the different heights available.

Keo.co.za brings you the news from the Currie Cup.
Cheetahs change two
Naka Drotske has opted to start Riaan Smit at fullback and WP Nel at prop against the Pumas.
Nel replaces Kobus Calldo while Smit comes in for Hennie Daniller. Daniller is being rested after playing every Currie Cup game to date.
Cheetahs – 15 Riaan Smit, 14 Philip Snyman, 13 Robert Ebersohn, 12 Meyer Bosman, 11 Jongi Nokwe, 10 Louis Strydom, 9 Tewis de Bruyn, 8 Ashley Johnson, 7 Philip Van der Walt, 6 Hendro Scholtz, 5 David de Villiers, 4 Francois Uys, 3 WP Nel , 2 Adriaan Strauss (c), 1 Coenie Oosthuizen.
Subs: 16 Skipper Badenhorst, 17 Kobus Calldo, 18 Izak van der Westhuizen, 19 Kabamba Floors, 20 Tertius Carse, 21 Sias Ebersohn, 22 Corné Uys.
Basson's a Bull
Bjorn Basson has signed a new deal with the Bulls which starts from 1 November.
The Springbok wing was committed to Griquas and the Cheetahs until the end of 2011 but the Bulls paid a transfer fee to get the player released from his contract. Griquas CEO Arni van Rooyen confirmed the move on Tuesday but refused to reveal the amount paid for the player.
Botha ready to rumble
Gary Botha has recovered from a head knock and will be available for the Bulls this weekend.
The Bulls skipper as well as lock Fudge Mabeta have been cleared for the game against the Leopards. Flank Deon Stegmann will undergo a fitness test on Tuesday, and could well feature in Potchefstroom.
Province lose Liebenberg
Tiaan Liebenberg will play no further part in the Currie Cup.
The WP hooker injured his ankle against the Cheetahs three weeks ago and coach Allister Coetzee is not expecting him back any time soon. Liebenberg's injury was supposed to sideline him for six weeks, but WP management have confirmed he won't be fit for the play-offs.
Back-up flyhalf Lionel Cronje missed last week's game with a hamstring problem, and won't be risked against Griquas this Friday.
Black players don't want quotas
Sarpa chief executive Piet Heymans says Saru should consider changes to its competition structures to ensure that promising black players don't disappear between U21 and senior level.
'The players' position is that they want equal opportunities. If they are good enough, they want to play. No player wants to be viewed as a quota player and everybody wants to be there on merit. Black players are not in favour of quotas. Their plea is for equal playing opportunities and game time,' said Heymans.
'Saru should be creative with the competition structures and see if there is a way of making the transition from junior to senior level easier. The bigger provinces should also be more willing to loan players they aren't using to smaller provinces. It is happening already, but the system can be utilised even better.'
The Vodacom Cup will still be played next year, but an age limit may be applied from 2012 onwards. One possibility is to make it an U23 competition, while there is also a school of thought that it should make way for a super club competition.
Heymans said it is wrong for Saru to criticise the provinces without doing something about it.
'As governing body of rugby, Saru have the ability to do something about the [transformation] issue. The question is just whether the leadership is strong enough to really do something about it.'
WP's timing spot on
Allister Coetzee believes Western Province are building momentum at the perfect time.
Province suffered a mid-season slump when they lost three consecutive matches against the Sharks, Cheetahs and Lions.
However, with three rounds remaining before the play-offs, WP have won their last two games against the Leopards (59-17) and Pumas (62-10) comfortably and displayed the kind of form they had during their six-match winning streak at the start of the season. They are currently second on the log with 38 points.
'Things are coming together nicely for us and it is especially important at this time of the season,' said Coetzee. 'This is the period when you want to be playing well and putting good performances together.
'We face three tough games now [against Griquas, the Bulls and Sharks] before hopefully we go into the play-offs, so this is the time when we need to step up our performance.'

Edgy Eddie
He's occasionally nervous and tense, looking around and fidgeting as you get on. Slightly on edge, he is sometimes unfocused
on the job at hand.
"I establish as much of a routine as possible with my nervous guy. Amazingly, he also seems to like it when I sing to him!"
Lara, Merchandising
Vitamin B1 plays a key role
in the proper functioning of nerve impulses. Horses deficient in B1 may act nervous and unfocused.
Magnesium, a macro-mineral, supports nerve and muscle function. If there is too little Magnesium in their diet, horses may be tense and nervous.
Wild Willy
He's over-reactive and excitable,
dancing in the
aisle and jigging to the ring.
A bundle of nerves and energy, he's always looking for a "monster" to spook at.
"I lead my pony around the ring first.
She looks at everything and I see if
it's going to be a good day or 'one of
those days.'"
Katie, Finance
Vitamin B1 and Magnesium are essential nutrients
that support the normal functioning of the nervous system (see above).
Tryptophan, an essential amino acid, supports the
production of serotonin,
a hormone that increases feelings of wellbeing and contentment, helping to
calm and soothe.
Moody Mindy
She's cranky and irritable, kicking
out and pinning her ears. Thanks
to her roller coaster of mood
you never know which attitude you're going to get.
"I pay attention to whether my
sensitive mare actually wants to be
groomed. When she's not into it, I
respect that and let her be dirty, and
she's much happier for it!"
Jessica, Marketing
Raspberry Leaf is an herb that helps relax and soothe
by supporting the regulation of smooth muscle tone
in the reproductive and GI tracts.
Chamomile & Passion Flower are herbs that can help rebalance the nervous system and support a
calm disposition.
Meet Trish and Jack
Breed: Thoroughbred
Age: 8
Discipline: Eventing
Owner: Trish MacDonald
My horse Jack was a typical off the track Thoroughbred – tense, nervous and tight-backed. I started him on SmartCalm and noticed a dramatic difference in his behavior. His back was softer and more supple, he didn't resent grooming and was happier overall. I was still having trouble with his spookiness and general lack of attention, so I switched him to SmartCalm Ultra. Since starting on the supplement, he has been able to concentrate and work through multiple distractions. He's still a playful Thoroughbred and can be a goofball, but now he's a trainable goofball!
Why Trish Uses SmartPaks
I love how organized our feed room is now that we use SmartPaks. It takes me much less time to mix grain and supplements than when I was using buckets. There's no more spilling and forgetting who gets what!

this shirt is so nice and soft! controls the funk rellly well too. seems to run a little loose...im 5'11" and 165 lbs and a med is a little loose but no big deal. buy it you wont regret it! only worn it in fall weather but it keeps me just right! not too hot not too cold
wore this on a backpacking trip in the eastern sierras for a week. comfort is second to none. feels great against ur skin and prevents chafe from pack straps. xlnt warmth beneathe a WM flash xr jacket w/ temps in the 20s. did not find the same warmth factor with a synthetic i brought along. hiked in it in the early mornings and slept with it. layers go on effortlessly, as it glides into jacket sleeves without bunching up. superb fit/construction. did i mention comfort??? seriously, it's rediculous how comfy this thing is. no stink after several days of continous use. whereas a synthetic will stink after one day of hard use, this thing took a licking and keep on stinkfree. need i say more?
If I wasn't a poor student and could live head to toe in icebreakers for the rest of my life, I would. And the kicker is, they would still fit as well and probably still smell alright when I was ninety. This shirt is just so well cut and warm while still breathing well. Merino wool is simply the best fabric out there and icebreakers are the industry standard. Absolutely amazing - if you don't already own any icebreakers gear, do your self a favour. And if you do, then my review is a waste of time for you as you already know what I am talking about. Bottom line, go for it.
Bought this layer to use in the winter and for biking and it works great wicks all moisture away and keeps you feeling warm as a base layer in the below zero winter bike rides. ( Fahrenheit) also it keeps the funk smell away all week. warm as a heavy sweater but can be worn under a tshirt Merino wool is the ultimate fiber. buy it you will not be disapointed
Can I tell you how fast delivery from Moosejaw is? I pressed the order button and my doorbell rang. Whoa. So this is a slick piece of work, and it gets lots of looks here in mega trendy Akron OH. They think Arsenio Hall is where the Lakers play and if you asked them about Icebreaker they would hand you a ball peen hammer. Sleeves are plenty long (I ordered a size bigger) and the two tone colors are really sharp. Soft enough to sleep in, not bad to work in either. The small collar doesn't irritate the skin after wearing it all day, and you won't smell up da joint if you decide to wear it more than one day in a row. This ones a keeper.
Wore this layered with the Icebreaker Altitude Zip while I trekked through Europe for a month (Dec to Jan). Kept me warm and I have no natural fluff on my body to help out on that but this did great! When the temp got into the 30's I got nippy. Doesn't itch and was quite comfortable. Never washed it and wore it into several smokey bars and barely a hint of smoke on it by the end of the trip. Totally worth the money when you like to pack light! Fashionable too!
This product has a very nice cut for someone with at least a semi-athletic build (no liposuction required). The wool is not quite as soft as synthetic materials, but it does not itch at all and doesn't pick up bad smells. The 260 weight is Icebreaker's warmest baselayer fabric, and is definitely midweight, probably somewhere between Capilene 2 and 3 in weight (if your only prior experience is with synthetic baselayers).
Icebreaker Men's Bodyfit 260 L/S Crewe is a great shirt for slightly colder days by itself or as a second layer if winter really hits you hard. It looks good even after several washes and the wool does not itch at all. I bought a men's shirt for me to have an icebreaker shirt with a more relaxed fit and I didn't regret it. The atomic-ink and seville/ charcoal colors look just fabulous.

Google rolled out a solution for the problem that multiple language sites started facing due to Panda filter. This key was in the form of 'hreflang' and 'canonical' tags. This is Google's way of telling site owners that they should use a regional subtag in their head tag for the website URL. This will help Google search crawlers to figure out the nature of content on each page and its relevance to a search performed. With these tags on websites, Google will comprehend that content on the site is truly intended for that region.
So how do the Hreflang and Canonical tags help?

"I don't know if people know I dislocated my pinkie finger. And [Tyreke] told me, 'You wanna go home or you wanna be here?' I want to be here. And he said, 'All right, then go tape it up and let's play. Let's go. We not stoppin' at no stores. Straight gas. That's what we do, just keep going.'"
This is our game.

This is the last year it will help to suck - next year (pending what we get for Gordon in a trade or *hopefully* what he gives us on the floor when healthy) we could be as good as a very fiesty 4, 5 or 6 seed. Very worst case we should be 7th or 8th if Demps does a solid job this offseason.
P.S. no huge games tonight for our draft standing but Phoenix and Sacto play so go Kings I suppose.

Can I just throw out my man from Toronto...Anthony Bennett! The best freshman in the country and IMO the most dominant player in college basketball right now. He is quickly rising up the boards and could very well end up being #1 pick. He is a clear PF... a rich mans Paul Millspa.
My Anthony Davis website: http://thebrow.uphero.com/
^^ Yah I dont think he fills any immediate needs for our team and with AD firmly locked in at PF there are other guys ...aka Alex Len.. that I have in front of him for us.
Just wanted to throw his name out because with Anthony Bennett(2013), Andrew Wiggins (2014), Trey Lyles (2015) Canada could produce back to back to back #1 picks and that is to go along with Tyler Ennis (top 5 recruit this year to syracuse), Kevin Pangos (Gonzaga), Myck Kobongo (Texas) and the abundance of canadians drafted in the last few years (Tristan Thompson, Corey Joseph, Andrew Nicholson, Robert Sacre, Kris Joseph etc.)

Huge night tomorrow - hopefully the Bees play hard and well yet lose again. Add to that a Cavs win over Toronto and voila - were in 2nd place!
We're doing good on our road to losses, I didn't mine us losing to the Blazers
New Orleans Pelicans-Seattle Seahawks-Atlanta Braves-Anaheim Ducks

This fits HunnyB/FlyGirl so well- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IyzTiSEfM00
Yeah it's important we lose as many as we can before Gordon comes back, because we'll probably be at least a .500 team as long as he is playing. That would probably bump us out of this abysmal Washington/Toronto group and up into the Orlando/Sacramento/Phoenix/Cleveland (now that Irving and Vara are back) group (picks 4-10).
I think there's no hope at a top 4 pick if EG10 really come back healthy. Best case would be 5-8.
ETA: I suppose if he plays very well there's the possibility of us trading him, but that seems counterproductive. He should be the cornerstone (no pun intended) of our rebuild.
people are acting like a Lebron type player is coming out this year... lol The difference between pick 3 and pick 5-8 doesn't appear to be that big at this point in the season.
I don't see all the Zeller hype. I get that he's got a nice offensive game but he's so skinny, he will be dominated on a nightly basis at the center position. I think he'll play PF in the NBA.
"Its important to us to bring in good people, people who can fit in the locker room and people you want to root and cheer for. People that want to win. Were trying to build for the long haul. -Dell Demps
Schwan has charted this every year and the stats bare it out. The odds of getting an A or B player dramatically decreases after the top 5 picks historically.

I learned a new German word today, "Waidmann", but I already knew the word "Jaegermeister", so I wondered what the difference between them is. When would a German use one over the other?
In the end both mean the same.
The usage of "Jägermeister" is obsolete. Nowadays when saying "Jägermeister" you usually refer to the alcoholic drink.
"Weidmann" or "Waidmann" is the technical term used by hunter and is also well known in "Weidmannsheil" and "Weidmannsdank", a greeting.
The informal term is just "Jäger"
They both mean the same thing, a hunter. According to Wikipedia, a Jägermeister was quite literally a master hunter.
Note, though, that today, under pretty much all circumstances, "Jägermeister" will be confused with the liqueur of the same name, and "Waidmann/Weidmann" is an outdated term that may not be understood at all except for the "Waidmanns Heil" ("good luck") expression.
Occupational titles change with the society that bestows them.
Jägermeister is an obsolete occupational title for a professional* hunter after a three year apprenticeship and an examination for a master craftsman's certificate (Meisterprüfung). It was current from around 1600 until the early 20th century. Today it is the name of a popular digestif (Kräuterlikör).
Waidmann – originally referring to anyone catching any kind of animal, later having the two more specific meanings "fisher" and "hunter" – is an even older occupational title, which was slowly displaced by "Jäger" from around 1600 onwards. It survives in popular folk songs and poetry when a romantic image of a huntsman is to be evoked, as well as in traditionalist hunter's lore.
Jagdmeister The job titles today are "Revierjäger", "Revierjagdmeister" (after a Meisterprüfung), Revieroberjäger (after 10 years as Jagdmeister) and Wildmeister (after 10 years as Oberjäger). [Source: http://www.revierjaeger.de/ernennungen]

Tablet. Hotels for Global Nomads

Tablet Plus
The Bryant Park Hotel
40 West 40th Street, New York City, NY, USA
Neighborhood: Manhattan - Midtown West
Check availability as rates may vary for dates. Best rate guaranteed.
The American Radiator building is a strange and imposing landmark, a black-and-gold gothic skyscraper, towering above Bryant Park like something out of a comic book. How pleasantly surprising, then, to find that it houses a boutique hotel that is as sober and restrained as many of its competitors are loud and garish.
Restrained doesn't mean boring—just that the Bryant Park hotel eschews the kind of flashy showmanship that has become all too familiar in the boutique hotel world. The lobby, though decked out in rather unconventional black terra cotta and red leather, feels as serious as the building's facade, without too-clever furniture or whimsical sculptural statements, and the Cellar Bar is true to its roots as well, with vaulted ceilings and tilework reminiscent of nothing so much as a restored subway station.
All the architectural sobriety doesn't seem to be cramping the clientele's style, especially during fashion week, which turns the park into an exhibition hall and momentarily makes the Bryant Park Hotel the most desirable address in New York.
As for the accommodations, a complete renovation from the American Radiator days apparently meant the death of many an interior wall—the rooms today are spacious, especially for a midtown hotel, and boast loft-style hardwood floors. Views tend toward the extraordinary, looking over Bryant Park, and some rooms come with private terraces, not at all New York standard. Expect lush goose-down duvets and rich linens, and massive tubs and sinks in the travertine bathrooms.
The cachet-meter has risen another notch or two with the opening of the New York outpost of LA's painfully hip KOI sushi restaurant. Yet another reason for Bryant Park regulars to stop worrying about Soho and learn to love midtown.

Why did you decide to venture into jeans?
I love denim, and I wanted to give my customer another casual staple to add to her wardrobe. It was important to me that our jeans be premium-quality,Ābut at a price point that makes sense. We've alsoĀpartnered with Share Our Strength's No Kid Hungry Campaign. WithĀevery purchase from the collection, a child in need can receive up to 20 meals. What'sĀbetter than getting a new pair of great jeans and, making steps towards ending childhood hunger?
What inspired the collection?
All of the denim is named after different streets in New York, so I really had the NYC girl in mind. Shes the downtown girl who has a strong sense of style! Ā
Did you face any challenges doingĀdesigning jeans?
DesigningĀpremium denim at a competitive price can be tricky. I wanted to make sure that we didnt spare any expense on superior quality materials andĀor washes. Ā
What styling tips do you have for the piecesĀcollection?
The important thing with denim—and especially this line—is to make it your own! Pair the boyfriend shorts with a blazer,Āstatement jewelry, and wedges for a fun night out or dress down the paisley print shorts with aĀtee and sandals for the weekend. It's really all about embracing your personal style! Ā
Did you have any fashionable friends in mind when designing thisĀthe line?
When I started thinking of denim initially, I was just thinking of styles I liked. But I have to say, Im happy to see it looks so great on so many people!ĀI launched the line with a dinner with a few of my friends, andĀit was interesting to see the way people wore the jeans. Zosia Mamet picked one of my favorite styles from the line, the Bleecker skinny Jean in the paisley print. She wore it with aĀwhite silk top and leather vest and looked so cool! Dakota Johnson chose to style a pair of theĀJane skinny jeans in dark gray with a T-shirt and our Becky jacket. I loved her look, too!

In the papers, signed within the past several days, Jackson admitted using campaign contributions for personal items such as a $40,000 Rolex watch, furniture for his Washington home and travel expenses for a friend.
Those knowledgeable about the investigation said they think any remaining issues concern Jackson's wife, former Chicago Council Member Sandi Jackson, and whether she would be charged, WMAQ said.
Under the terms of the deal, Jackson pleaded guilty to one count of misusing campaign funds and a judge is to decide whether to sentence him to probation or up to five years in prison.
The plea agreement also requires Jackson to repay the government hundreds of thousands of dollars in campaign funds he converted to his personal use.
The only thing Jackson's father, the Rev. Jesse Jackson Sr., said about his son's case Thursday was that "it's painful," WBBM-TV, Chicago, reported.
The younger Jackson resigned from Congress before Thanksgiving amid a federal investigation into misuse of campaign funds and mental health issues. The former congressman had been diagnosed with bipolar disorder and was on medical leave from Congress since June.

Iris Dement Biography & News
Iris Dement Details
|Official site
About Iris Dement
It's often said that the best source material for songs comes from your life – your friends, your family and every day occurrences. And if that's the case, Iris DeMent won't run out of things to write about any time soon.
DeMent, the youngest of 14 children, was born in Arkansas, raised in California and grew up immersed in gospel and traditional country music. Though she didn't write her first song until age 25, her first release, "Infamous Angel," established her as a blooming tour de force in the industry. Her sophomore follow-up, "My Life," earned a Grammy nomination, as did her 1996 album, "The Way I Should."
Is there anything left to accomplish when a legend like Merle Haggard calls you, "The best singer I've ever heard"? There was for DeMent, whose songs like "Let The Mystery Be" and "Our Town" became ingrained in American culture, she simply kept plugging away. In 2004, she recorded an album of gospel songs called "Lifeline." Another highlight came six years later, when the Coen Brothers chose a song from that album, "Leaning on the Everlasting Arms," for the closing credits of a remake of the classic western "True Grit."
On October 2, 2012, DeMent released her first album of original songs in 16 years, "Sing the Delta." It was recorded in Nashville, with an all-star supporting cast that included Bryan Owings on drums, Dave Jacques on bass, Al Perkins on pedal steel and Reese Wynana on B3 organ. Jim Hoke and Steve Herman also sat in as horn players. The project, of course, was heralded by fans and critics alike.
DeCant will soon set off on a December tour of New Zealand and Australia. She'll return stateside in the new year, and has dates booked through May 2014.
