Cyber information sharing bill gets new life in House
Thursday - 2/14/2013, 9:45am EST
Although last year's efforts to pass cybersecurity legislation in Congress were repeatedly stymied by gridlock, the top Republican and Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee say 2013's a whole new ball game.
Reps. Mike Rogers (R-Mich.) and Dutch Ruppersberger (D-Md.), the chairman and ranking member of the Intelligence Committee, respectively, cosponsored one of several cybersecurity bills in the last Congress, the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act (CISPA). It cleared the House, but died in the Senate in the midst of a White House veto threat.
But Rogers said he and Ruppersberger now have mended fences with the White House. Addressing the Center for Strategic and International Studies Wednesday, Rogers praised the President for issuing an executive order this week to strengthen cybersecurity, a step he said would advance the cause of the legislation. He said it also was a good thing that the President brought up the topic during the State of the Union address.
"He also acknowledged we need to pass a bill in Congress, another very good thing. It's a tone change, and we're wildly accepting of that change," he said. "And the executive order, we think, takes a little bit of the pressure off of the Senate's insistence on creating [cybersecurity] rules, regulations and standards for private infrastructure. All of that combined, I think, increases our opportunity to get a cyber information sharing bill that we all believe is important."
And Ruppersberger said the Intelligence Committee and the White House now are actively discussing the way forward in Congress — a contrast to the environment surrounding last year's veto threat, which the Maryland Democrat described, at the time, as a "kick to the solar plexus."
"We had some issues with the White House last time, and we still don't agree on everything. But what we do agree on is that we're going to work together," he said. "Our intelligence staff and the White House staff are working together now. We had a commitment again today from the White House. They will work with us because they know how serious this is."
A more narrowly tailored bill
Rogers and Ruppersberger reintroduced CISPA Wednesday in a form they say is more narrowly tailored and that should solve the previous privacy concerns the White House and civil liberties groups expressed last year.
As opposed to the more overarching cybersecurity overhaul the Senate considered in the last Congress, the House Intelligence Committee bill focuses only on information sharing. The government's intelligence community would be ordered to come up with a secure way of sharing classified cyber threat signatures with Internet service providers and other private sector companies. Those companies, in turn, could voluntarily share threat signatures with the government and would receive liability protection from any lawsuits that could otherwise arise from transmitting proprietary data.
But Rogers said that protection would not be a blank check to violate customer privacy. Companies, he said, would only be able to send to the government information about bona fide cyber threats, not the actual content of email messages, Facebook posts or tweets.
"If this was about content, none of this would work," he said. "We're not worried about content. It has to be about trying to find malicious code that's embedded in an email or whatever, but that's not the content. But in order to doubly make sure agencies are following the law, we've said the inspector general must, every year, do an audit and then report to us on how they've used the information, what kind of information they got, if they got it wrong, how they rectified it and properly destroyed the information, and make sure it's not collected on government servers, which we thought was important."
Limited use of information
In addition to oversight and an annual report by the Intelligence Community Inspector General, the revised bill would clamp down on the government's use of any information it gets from private companies under the program. Last year's bill, for example, would have let prosecutors use that shared information in child pornography investigations or matters relating more broadly to "national security" investigations. This year's edition says agencies can only use the information they get from the private sector for "cybersecurity purposes."
Nonetheless, the new bill drew criticism from at least one civil liberties group. The Constitution Project issued a statement saying it could still be used to authorize domestic spying and hand over personal information to government agencies.
"The safeguards for privacy rights and civil liberties contained in this cybersecurity bill are woefully inadequate," said Sharon Bradford Franklin, the organization's senior policy counsel. "While the goal of protecting our nation's networks from cyber attacks is a laudable one, Congress must also address the very real threat this legislation poses to Americans' privacy rights and civil liberties."

TROY — Troy High School varsity boys basketball coach Tim Miller will serve a self-imposed two-game suspension this weekend as a result of an incident at a Jan. 25 Troy Junior Basketball game, the school announced on Thursday.
Assistant coaches Mark Evilsizor and Brett Kopp will take over the Trojans for tonight's Greater Western Ohio Conference North Division matchup at Sidney and Saturday's home game against inter-county rival Miami East.
In an offical statement, Miller said the sanctions stem from his reaction to an on-the-court incident that involved his son during a game at VanCleve Elementary School.
"On Saturday, Jan. 25, while attending my son's Troy Jr. Basketball game against Tipp, I used extremely poor judgement in reaction to a situation that involved my son during the course of the game," Miller said. "My behavior that afternoon was uncalled for, out of character and well beyond the spirit of interscholastic athletics, and goes against the expectations that I instill in my own players and coaches as the head boys basketball coach at Troy High School.
"As a result, I have chosen to suspend myself as the head coach for the Troy High School boys basketball games with Sidney on Friday, Feb. 7 and Miami East on Saturday, Feb. 8. It is my desire to use this as a teachable moment."
Prior to becoming head coach, Miller was a long-time assistant at Troy, working with three different head coaches dating back to the 1990s.
Miller has enjoyed success as the Troy High School coach during an up-and-down tenure. In the 2010-11 season, the Trojans went 16-7 and won a Division I sectional championship, reaching the district title game for the first time since 2005, before Miller was coach. And in the 2011-12 season, Troy won its first GWOC North title, going 10-0 in division play and 17-7 overall en route to its second straight sectional title and district final berth.
The Trojans went 6-17 last season and are currently 3-13 heading into tonight's game.

CARSON, Calif. -- The LA Galaxy wrapped up their preparations for Sunday's regular season opener against the Chicago Fire with a lively training session on Saturday morning.
After a successful preseason that saw the club go 5-1-1, Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena believes that his club is itching for the season to start.
"We're looking forward to the game," said Arena. "We've certainly had enough of preseason at this point. We've been together five weeks so it's time to play the games that count…We're prepared. We have to deal with the ring ceremony beforehand so we have to be good and focused and have the right kind of concentration. We have to understand that it is part of the day, and rightfully so, and then get on with the business of getting ready for kick off."
They'll open the season against a Chicago side that is coming off a successful season in 2012 that saw the Fire get knocked out by the eventual Eastern Conference Champion Houston Dynamo in a Knockout Round match. If the Fire are to return to the postseason, it will be in large part due to an organized back four that is headlined by 2012 Rookie of the Year centerback Austin Berry.
"They're a disciplined team with their block of six in defending," said Galaxy forward Mike Magee. "You got to be patient. They're not going to come out of their block of six so you have to be patient. We have to pass well and if we get a chance early then we have to finish it so we can make them lose their shape."
Meanwhile, for centerback Omar Gonzalez, the focus will be on slowing their attack—particularly forward Sherjill MacDonald who scored four goals in 14 appearances for the Fire in 2012.
"He likes to sit on the line and threaten behind you so we have to be aware of where he is. If they bring Maicon Santos in then we have to be aware of his left foot," said Gonzalez. "They're going to be really confident and move the ball around, but like I've said in years past, it's about how we start the game and our mentality because if all those things are right then it's highly probable that we'll win the game."
A couple of notes...
*Tommy Meyer was back at training on Saturday and spoke to reporters to provide an update on his recovery. The second-year defender told reporters that he began running for the first time on Saturday as he concentrates on improving his fitness.
*Chandler Hoffman trained with the club for the first time on Saturday.
"The Galaxy formally announced the signings of SuperDraft selections Charlie Rugg and Greg Cochrane.
*The Galaxy will receive their championship rings prior to Sunday's game. More information on the rings can be found here.
CARSON, Calif. – When the LA Galaxy take the field against the Chicago Fire on Sunday, they'll have a new captain for the first time since the 2009 season as Robbie Keane takes over for Landon Donovan.
Keane's teammates admitted earlier in the week, however, that little change is expected with the Irishman taking possession of the armband for good. The 32-year-old forward has served as the club's vice-captain since the start of the 2012 season and he vows that he'll remain the same type of leader now that he is the face of the franchise.
"Listen, if I can help the franchise and help this team win games and win championships for me, that's important. Everything else will take care of itself," said Keane. "I'm not one of those people that goes home and really thinks too much [about] being on billboards and stuff like that. I've been playing for a long time and I know that it is all part of what you do. It's something that you just take it on board and that's it."
When asked to describe his leadership style, Keane admits that he'll bring plenty of his trademark candor to the role of Galaxy captain.
"It's about being a leader on the pitch and off the pitch. It's important to tell people if they're not doing the job and without being captain, I'm that person anyways. I like people around me to do better and be better. I only do it to help the team and help the players around me become better players," said Keane. "For me, the most important thing is that people respect you and look up to you. I'm not one of those these people that will go behind people's backs, if I've got something to say then I will say it straight to their face. If you don't like it, I don't really give a [expletive] to be honest with you.
"I've been in teams since I was 17 that had a lot of big players who gave me bollocks for a few years and it made me a lot stronger and the player that I am now," added Keane. "You learn [a lot from] these experienced players so if I can help the players then great."
One place that Keane will certainly help the Galaxy in 2013 will be on the scoresheet as he looks to repeat his impressive goal tally of 23 goals in 37 games across all competitions last season. Although Keane serves as the primary weapon in the Galaxy offense, the Irishman insists LA are not a one man show. And to prove his point, he looks back at the current situation at his previous club Tottenham Hotspur.
"People are talking about [Tottenham Hotspur left winger] Gareth Bale being a one-man team but even though he's on fire, he's got [good] players around him," said Keane. "I think for me, without the other teammates giving me the chances to score goals, I wouldn't be half the player that I am."
As a player and a captain, results take precedent for Keane, but the Irishman hopes that his blunt leadership pays dividends for his teammates.
"They have to get on board," said Keane. "You're not doing it to disrespect anybody, you're doing it to try and help them become better players and maybe in a few years when they look back at their time here, hopefully they can say that I did help them."
CARSON, Calif. – On Sunday, the LA Galaxy will celebrate winning their fourth MLS Cup title, but for all the team's success on and off the field, Galaxy President Chris Klein believes that greater days are ahead for the club.
At the unveiling of a new sport court for the Carson Boys and Girls Club, I caught up with Klein for a quick chat on the state of the club.
Check it out below...
LA GALAXY INSIDER: "Chris, what is the state of the team heading into the 2013 season?"
KLEIN: "I think the state of the team is very good. It's not perfect, obviously, we're still missing Landon, but I think that the preparation that the team has had has been as good as it can get. We have our home opener which we have to deal with then our focus turns to Champions League. Bruce has been very clear is our initial goal in 2013 is to start better than 2012, which seems simple, but it's something that the team and group is focused on."
LAGI: You mentioned the CONCACAF Champions League, just how important is that competition for the team as a brand and on the business side?
KLEIN: "It's important for us as the Galaxy. There's no brand or business issue, it's important for us. Our league and the Galaxy have to establish that we are the best league and the Galaxy has the best team in this region. And that includes being able to complete effectively against Mexican clubs, it's very simple. We have to establish that we can do that."
LAGI: You're heading into the first year without David Beckham. How does that change things for the club?
KLEIN: "I don't know that it changed things a lot. One thing that we realized that as great as an asset as David was, he helped us to realize what the Galaxy could become—a worldwide brand and something that people wanted to see. Now we've taken that torch and continued on. We're confident that the Galaxy's best days are ahead of us."
LAGI: Has there been any impact on business side from Beckham's absence?
KLEIN: "No, there hasn't. We've had very few people that have called in and said that they don't want to come to our games because David is not there. That's not a slight against David; it's more of a good thing for the Galaxy. People come out to see the Galaxy and to see us win. David was instrumental in helping us win two championships back to back and I think that is where his greatest contribution was."
LAGI: "Handing that the business side is your primary job now, what is the state of the organization on that front?"
KLEIN: "It's going very well. Last year, our season ticket holders increased almost 100 percent. We were not where we were supposed to be, but we're looking to add to that again this year. We have a different approach in terms of relating to the local community. Whether it is [community initiatives] or whether it's relating to the soccer community or whether it's getting people to come to our games. We want to create an atmosphere that looks and feels like a soccer game that you can see all over the world."
LAGI: "The club has been very aggressive on the marketing side with an outdoor marking campaign across Southern California. How has that impacted the club?
KLEIN: "It helped. Our intention was to be bold with our marketing. We shouldn't be shy about who we are and who we want to be and that starts at the top with our ownership group with Tim Leiweke and AEG. We've won two championships in a row and our expectation is to keep the level very, very high. We have great backing from our owner and I think that's where it starts. To be able to go out and market the way we do, to have the players that we have and to have the organization and staff that we have says something about our league and about the Galaxy."
LAGI: "Lastly, what is the discord like between the Galaxy and other organizations about marketing strategies? Do organizations regularly share info on what works in their market with other clubs?
KLEIN: "Absolutely. We can all learn from other organizations. One of the great things about our league is that we're not too proud to ask for help. If we see something that we think works well, what do they say; imitation is the greatest form of flattery. We're okay to do that and we're also very open that if someone sees something that we're doing that makes sense to them, then we're happy to share that information with them."
What are your thoughts on Klein's comments?
Share them below.
Ahead of the LA Galaxy's MLS regular season opener against the Chicago Fire, Joe Tutino and Cobi Jones provided a preview of the match in the first edition of "View from Booth" of 2013.
Check it out below...
Jose Villarreal did not feature due to an ankle injury, but the U.S. Under-20's qualified for the final of the CONCACAF U-20 Championships on Friday with a 2-0 victory over Cuba. Waiting for the U.S. in the final on Sunday will be defending champion Mexico who defeated El Salvador 2-0.
Mario Rodriguez— a former Galaxy Academy member— and Santos Laguna starlet Daniel Cuevas scored three minutes apart as the U.S. blanked the Cubans. Galaxy Academy product and current UCLA defender Javan Torre got the start in central defense and played a full 90 minutes.
The U.S. will look to win the tournament for the first time ever against a vaunted Mexican side that boasts two American-born players including Mission Hills-native goalkeeper Richard Sanchez and Texas-born midfielder Uvaldo Luna.
CARSON, Calif -- Just days before the 2012 MLS Cup, the LA Galaxy Foundation working in tandem with AEG and MLS W.O.R.K.S. pledged to bring a new sport court to the Boys and Girls Club of Carson and two days ahead of the 2013, they delievered.
Galaxy President Chris Klein, Galaxy players Colin Clark, A.J. DeLaGarza, Todd Dunivant, and LA alumus Clint Mathis were hand as the new court was unveiled to the children of the Boys and Girls Club. Following the unveiling, Mathis led a brief soccer clinic for the members of the program.
As the Galaxy look to establish a greater foothold in the Southern California community, Klein believes that events like this are vital for the club.
"These are important for us for a number of reasons. This is the Boys and Girls Club of Carson, which is in our backyard. With the Galaxy Foundation and our club, it's important to invest in the local community around us," said Klein. "We want to give kids an opportunity to grow and have a chance and we feel that learning the sport of soccer is one way that they can do that. Our players are a great positive example of what can happen in a team sport so this is a great avenue for us to show that."
I was on hand for the event and provided a few photos of the presentation. Check that out below.

CARSON, Calif. – One of the larger predicaments facing the LA Galaxy this preseason has been deciding just who would get the start alongside Omar Gonzalez in central defense. Ahead of the season opener against the Chicago Fire, it seems that two options—Leonardo and A.J. DeLaGarza have risen to the top of the heap.
MLS Cup starter Tommy Meyer has been sidelined with a nagging left hamstring injury leaving Leonardo and DeLaGarza to earn minutes in central defense alongside the U.S. national team defender. Both have appeared solid, but Leonardo has impressed particularly after missing much of the last two seasons due to the after effects of knee surgery.
However, it is worth nothing that the last time all three were available for the preseason game –LA's victory over LIGA MX's Club Tijuana—it was Leonardo who got the start alongside the Brazilian.
When asked if it would be Leonardo starting against the Fire following Friday's training session, Bruce Arena quickly reiterated that DeLaGarza is another likely option.
"Or A.J.," the Galaxy boss sharply noted. "Omar and A.J. typically play together in the center, and they're very experienced players, probably been together the last seven, eight years [including time at the University of Maryland]. I think Leo, whenever he's come in and played with Omar or A.J., has done quite well."
DeLaGarza's partnership with Gonzalez, which has lasted since their days at the University of Maryland, is well documented, but Leonardo has had his own success when teaming up with Gonzalez. The pair made a pair of brief preseason appearances together against Tijuana and South Korean side Gangwon FC. Leonardo and Gonzalez also combined 12 times during the 2010 and 2011 seasons with the Galaxy going 6-2-4 in that time.
If Leonardo is the option on Sunday, however, Gonzalez believes that he has complete faith in Leonardo—especially after both recovered from major knee injuries in the past year.
"Leonardo – man, that's another story similar to mine, maybe a little worse than mine," said Gonzalez. "Two years to come back, and what a story that is. He's just been playing really well lately, he's been showing that he's fit, he's ready to step on the field, and everyone's more than happy to have him out there.
"I've only been paired up with him [during] a couple of [preseason] games here and there, but it was just the way it was before he got hurt," said Gonzalez. "[Leonardo's addition] adds a lot more depth, it gives you the opportunity to maybe rotate more guys, because everybody's a solid defender, everybody has quality. You can move A.J. to right back or keep him as center back. You just have a lot more options."
CARSON, Calif. – The LA Galaxy bolstered their attacking depth on Friday by acquiring Chandler Hoffman from the Philadelphia Union in exchange for a conditional selection in the 2014 MLS SuperDraft.
The 13th overall selection in the 2012 MLS SuperDraft out of UCLA, Hoffman made seven appearances for the Union in his only season for the club while being reduced to a reserve role. Although he struggled for time in Philadelphia, Hoffman was prolific for the Bruins as he scored 29 goals and 10 assists in his three years in Westwood.
Following training on Friday, Arena admitted that Hoffman should bolster the Galaxy's forward depth, but the Galaxy boss "doubts" he'll be on the bench come Sunday's season opener against the Chicago Fire.
"He's a good young player and we've known him from his UCLA days. He's a young promising player, but we need to get him into our team and see if we can move him along as a player," said head coach Bruce Arena. "We always look around for young promising players and he's a guy that we're familiar with. There's no given with anything, so it'll be interesting to see how he fits into our environment on a daily basis and hopefully, he's player that we can move him along well to help our team."
Hoffman's teammate at UCLA, LA third goalkeeper Brian Rowe believes that his college teammate could do big things at The Home Depot Center.
"It'll be great. He has a knack for the goal and he gets into good spots so with good players like Robbie [Keane], once Gyasi [Zardes] gets back, he'll be a good threat," said Rowe. "He considers L.A. to be his second home after going to UCLA and I think he'll be happy and motivated to do well.
"He's always one to stay late and put in the time to do work and improve himself. He's one that always wants to keep learning," Rowe added. "It'll be a good personality to have around the locker room."
Hoffman will become the fifth Galaxy forward under the age of 23—joining Jack McBean (18), Charlie Rugg (22), Jose Villarreal (19), and Gyasi Zardes (21) – but Arena doesn't believe that "stockpiling" is the right term for what LA's actions.
"I don't know if that's the right term. I hope that eventually, it becomes the right term for the description of these players," said Arena. "They haven't tasted a whole lot of success yet so we have to see. Hopefully down the road, they're going to be players who are very important for the Galaxy."
What are your thoughts on Hoffman's acquisition?
Share your thoughts below.
LOS ANGELES – Gyasi Zardes is still at least a month away from returning to the training ground, but the LA Galaxy Homegrown forward recently spoke to reporters to provide a progress report for his recovery.
The 21-year-old Homegrown signing underwent surgery in early February after cracking the fifth metatarsal in his left foot. On Wednesday, Zardes was spotted on crutches and a walking boot –which he has been wearing nearly three weeks – during LA's unveiling of their new second kit at The GRAMMY Museum at L.A. LIVE. There is currently no timeline for his return, but Zardes says he will undergo further X-rays in two weeks and hopes to return sometime in April.
Prior to his injury, Zardes appeared in two preseason games, but a sudden freak issue forced him to the sidelines.
"I came into camp and I felt fine, but on certain days, I felt a pain. In one practice, I felt a throbbing pain and I got it checked out, it turns out it was a hairline fracture and I didn't even know it," said Zardes. "I think it was the shoes that I was running in that had a bad arch…over time it got worse and worse. But at least, I still got to nip it in the bud before it got worse."
However, Zardes is doing what he can to keep his spirits up, particularly conversing with teammate Kenney Walker who endured a similar injury this preseason, albeit on his right foot, just prior to Zardes.
"I'm asking him for questions because he's a genius at it since he's went through everything I'm going through two weeks ahead of me," said Zardes. "I'm constantly asking him questions every time I see him."
Just when Zardes will return to the training ground remains to be seen, but the forward is keeping his spirits high.
"It really helps me look at the big picture because obviously, I'm a college kid and I'm anxious to get on the field, but this has helped me be mellow and stay humble," said Zardes. "It's a long season as they say…I'm thinking short term, but they're thinking long term."
CARSON, Calif -- LA Galaxy rookie Greg Cochrane has been one of the breakout stars of the preseason, but when the midfielder -- who tweeted on Thursday that he had signed a deal with the club -- was with the University of Louisville, he was known as much for his long flowing mane as his hustle play.
Prior to being drafted by the Galaxy with the 38th overall pick in the 2013 MLS SuperDraft, Cochrane chopped off his long hair for a good cause, donating 10 inches to the non-profit organization Locks of Love.
Check out my story on Cochrane's good deed and his development with the LA Galaxy here.

Hi Blessed Homemaker, you are not lazy, after that little accident of your DS and DD2, you still took the trouble to prepare dinner, if I were you I would have dinner at the hawker centre.
Hi Grace, I can have sandwich for 3 meals too! You made lovely focaccia, you should made your own! Nothing beats homemade bread :)
Hi tracieMoo, I love sandwich too...especially the bread. I wonder whether there is any bread recipes out there so that I can make my own subway bread?!
Hi Min, so far I have not heard of anyone who doesn't like luncheon meat ;)
Hi Pei Lin, I agree with you about the brand name!
There are several explanations of the origin of the name "SPAM", ranging from "Shoulder of Pork And haM"; "SPiced hAM", "Spiced Pork And haM", "Specially Processed Army Meat", "Specially Processed American Meats" and "SPAre hAM"; there are also some less-than-serious explanations, such as "Synthetically Produced Artificial Meat"; "Something Posing As Meat"; "Specially Processed Artificial Meat"; "Stuff, Pork and Ham"; and "Spare Parts Animal Meat". The current official is the acronym "Specially Processed Assorted Meat" because the SPAM Lite variety contains both pork and chicken meat. How interesting!
It really looks easy to prepare, and most importantly it looks yummy...make me think of Subway sandwich..heheReplyDelete
sounds so deliciousReplyDelete
good night
Great shot! Now I've another great menu to prepare for lunch/dinner for my family, besides your "sushi sandwich". My 2 kids love the later very much! The portions they eat are quite amazing! :DReplyDelete
Hi HHBReplyDelete
Your sandwhich looks actually like the one from Subway!!
My family love the Gardenia Focaccia loaf too, in fact 2 loaf is not sufficient for us :p
Like you, I am always think giving luncheon meat, ham, saugage to my boys make me a bad mummy. I try not to buy it too often and thankfully I am not a luncheon meat fan and I try to subsitute with Chicken / Egg Mayo or Tuna instead.
Please keep the post coming, you never fail to inspire me with your simple & nutritious meal
I love how you make the simplest food look so delicious! Thanks for sharing these great pictures!ReplyDelete
Spam or even just the good old Luncheon meat is always a trusty(albeit unhealthy) favourite for anything. I can't think of anyone who don't like it. Your sandwich is visually scrumptious and I tempted to double deck it with more Spam! haha...ReplyDelete

This is great that the Eggcorn Database now has a forum :) I just discovered one which in terms of pronunciation is nothing revolutionary for nonrhotic speakers (it seems like an 'exotic' eggcorn to me, a rhotic speaker, however), but I hadn't seen the spellings "floorless/flawless" mixed up until I read a post here.
What's interesting is that when I brought up the issue, the poster responded by claiming "floorless" and "flawless" are orthographically interchangeable in NZ where he/she's from. I know they'd be homophones there but I don't buy that standard spelling there allows for the two words to be interchangeable. However, I do find it to be an interesting eggcorn.

I am from New Zealand and have heard the two interchanged only in error, and that happening rarely.
I honestly do not see the words spelled interchangeably as a common thing. seems more liely poor spelling or vocabulary.
Pronunciation errors I can understand we Kiwis tend to to treat word such as beer/bear/bare or peer/pear/pier as homophones. It seesmt hat sometime during the evolution of our language from the original colonial settlers, the distinct slipped.
Now entered in the database.
"I have a friend who is a floorless dj and shares my love for breakbeat. (uk.music.breakbeat, Sep. 15, 1999)"
Do you think that this might have actually referred to the fact that the DJ is happy to spin without having a dance floor nearby? That the DJ is literally "floorless"?

Click here to see video of Rose Ledford describing Wednesday night's storms: http://bcove.me/5zv5iyou
Storm damage Wednesday night resulted in fallen trees across the Patterson Springs area.
Multiple small trees fell in front of Shelby Missionary Methodist Church on Earl Road.
"The preacher was preaching and we didn't hear nothing but rain," said Rose Ledford, church member.
After they saw the trees down through the windows, Ledford said she ran outside to check on the statue of Jesus.
"I ran out here to see it and make sure he was OK," she said. "The trees didn't even touch him. That's how I knew God was protecting us. It missed the church and it missed Jesus."
One tree in the back of the church broke in half and fell on the parking lot, but missed all of the parked cars.
'We just heard a thump'
A tree fell on a house just down the street at 1326 Earl Road. The family was not at home at the time. Tim Scism, owner of the house, said the damage was minimal.
Stella and Richard Pugh's house on Joe's Lake Road also had a tree fall on it.
"We were just in the house looking out the window, and we happened to see the building that covered our lawnmower flying away," said Stella Pugh.
They ran to the back of the house to watch the building, and that's when the tree fell.
"We just heard a thump," said Richard Pugh. "I was at the back door watching my building blow over the fence."
The tree hit their wiring and knocked out their power, but didn't cause much damage otherwise.
"It didn't even break a window or a window screen," said Richard Pugh.
Stella Pugh said her son was driving by and saw the tree fall.
"It all happened so fast," she said. "It took away my shade tree."
Overall damage
Trees were the only thing brought down by Wednesday's storm, according to Cleveland County Emergency Management Director Dewey Cook.
"I heard some of the departments go out for trees in the road and trees on some power lines," said Cook.
At the peak of the storm, Duke Energy reported fewer than 100 outages.
According to Cook, all area streams are within their banks and the storm did not result in flooding. If more rain continues though, flooding could become a problem.
"As saturated as the ground is, the rain's not going to sink in," he said. "It's going to run off all over the place."

Rory Kockott's match winning Top 14 final performance has not been enough to warrant inclusion in the Bok squad. Instead Stormers Louis Schreuder is the latest No 9 to join the Boks.
Schreuder replaces injured Francois Hougaard, who has been ruled out of the current quadrangular series because of a knee injury.
Schreuder is the fourth scrumhalf to be selected for the Boks this month after starting scrumhalf Jano Vermaak got injured and was replaced by Cheetahs Piet van Zyl.
Ulster-based Ruan Pienaar will start against Scotland on Saturday.
Schreuder this season played as understudy to Nic Groom and Dewaldt Duvenhage at the Stormers but in the last month was the first choice Stormers halfback.
Kockott was sensational for Castres in the 19-14 Top 14 final win against Toulon in Paris and was the consistently good for the French club.
What do you think. Has Heyneke got this one right or does Kockott deserve to be ranked higher than the four scrumhalves already selected?

The Codger versus the Whippersnapper: Prospects for the 2008 Election
The presidential election of 2008 pits Senator John McCain, portrayed by his critics as a grumpy "white-haired dude," against Senator Barack Obama, seen by his critics as "inexperienced, naïve, and arrogant" - McCain the "Codger" versus Obama the "Whippersnapper." What are the real strengths and weaknesses of each candidate? What will be their best strategies and what are the pitfalls most important for them to avoid? In a year that has already held many surprises, how much of the 2008 election will be framed by circumstances outside of the control of either candidate? In this freshman class talk, CMC's Professor Andrew E. Busch will explore these questions and more as he discusses the prospects and historical context for the 2008 election.
Andrew E. Busch is Professor of Government and Associate Dean of the Faculty at Claremont McKenna College. He has authored or co-authored ten books on American government and politics, including most recently The Constitution on the Campaign Trail: The Surprising Political Career of America's Founding Document (2007), Reagan's Victory: The 1980 Elections and the Rise of the Right (2005), and Red Over Blue: The 2004 Elections and American Politics (with James W. Ceaser) (2005). He is currently at work with James W. Ceaser and John J. Pitney on a book on the 2008 elections. Professor Busch received his B.A. from the University of Colorado and his M.A. and Ph.D. from the University of Virginia. He taught for 12 years at the University of Denver before joining the CMC faculty in 2004.
Everyone at the Marian Miner Cook Athenaeum looks forward to welcoming members of the class of 2012 on this special occasion. Freshmen are automatically signed up for the dinner. If you are unable attend please email email@example.com or call ext. 18244 to cancel. The 5:30 p.m. reception at the Flamson Plaza fountain will be followed by a served dinner at 6:00 p.m.
Politics and the Presidency
In his acceptance speech for re-election in 2004, President Bush thanked Karl Rove as simply "the architect." Mr. Rove has known George W. Bush since he delivered a set of keys to him as chairman of the College Republicans in Washington, D.C. and Mr. Bush was a student at Harvard Business School.
Rove has advised the President on all of his political campaigns, beginning with his 1978 failed run for Congress. He started the direct-mail business "Rove and Company" in Austin, Texas in 1981. In the 1980s and 1990s, his business worked for the election of a number of Texas Republican candidates, including the Senate elections of Phil Gramm and Kay Bailey Hutchinson, and gubernatorial election of Bill Clements; all of these elections were noteworthy because voters had not elected Republican candidates to statewide office since Reconstruction until the 1980s. In 1993 he counseled George W. Bush to run for Governor against the popular Democratic incumbent Ann Richards. Mr. Bush won in 1994 and again in 1998, and Karl Rove was the architect of his 2000 and 2004 Presidential campaigns. In the White House, he was the Deputy Chief of Staff and Senior Advisor to President Bush from 2000-2007.
In the 2002 midterm elections and the 2004 reelection of President Bush, Rove made the decision to make the War on Terror a central issue of the ultimately successful campaigns for Bush and Republicans in Congress. In 2005, President Bush also made him an assistant to the President in addition to being deputy Chief of Staff and Senior Advisor, reflecting his importance in the Bush Administration. Currently, he is a contributor to Fox News.
Karl Rove's visit to campus is sponsored by the Pacesetters Fund and the Res Publica Society. Dinner seating in the Athenaeum is limited to the CMC community on a first-come basis. There will be an additional sign up on the reservation page for CMC persons only to attend the talk in the Athenaeum, also on a first-come basis. If you are already in the dinner, you do not need to sign up again, as this is for those CMC people who did not get into the dinner and wish to hear Karl Rove in the Athenaeum. General public viewing of the talk will be available in McKenna Auditorium.
The Breakfast of Politicos: A New Way to Get the News
Tom Bevan is co-founder and Executive Editor of RealClearPolitics. New York Times columnist David Brooks writes that "RealClearPolitics is the first web site I check every morning. It's an invaluable tool for anybody interested in politics or public affairs." Mr. Bevan and John McIntyre left the corporate world to create Real Clear Politics with the notion that a non-partisan website was needed "for people like us… people who live and breathe politics and the major issues of the day." By 7 a.m., Bevan, McIntyre, and their staff have gone through countless publications looking for the best stories, commentary and polls from all different political viewpoints. Real Clear Politics has made it easier for anyone to become a political commentator. In 2004, the Real Clear Politics' polls had every state in the Electoral College correct except for Wisconsin. Every month, over a million unique users view Real Clear Politics. In addition to its political coverage, Bevan's organization has also launched sites dedicated to sports, business and foreign affairs.
In addition to writing features and a popular blog for RealClearPolitics, Tom Bevan spent two years as an opinion columnist for the Chicago Sun-Times. His work has also appeared in The New York Sun and The Arizona Republic. He has also shared his vast political knowledge as a political analyst on a number of national radio and television shows including Fox News Channels' Hannity & Colmes, CNBC's Kudlow & Company, the BBC's Worldview, and C-Span's Washington Journal.
Literature YA! Engaging a New Generation of Readers
Claudia Guadalupe Martinez first began exploring some of the core themes in her debut young adult novel, The Smell of Old Lady Perfume (2008), in a CMC Creative Journalism class taught by visiting professor Ruben Martinez. Several years and 248 pages later, Booklist says that readers will find the book's portrayal of "family, its nicely realized setting, and its artful exploration of the problems of assimilation to be both engaging and heartfelt." It is essentially a story of two borders - the one between two countries and the one between childhood and adolescence.
Martinez grew up in El Paso, Texas, just a stone's throw from the Mexican border. At CMC she was awarded a McNair Scholarship and served as Editor-in-Chief of The Claremont Colleges Collage newspaper. Her first appearance on the Athenaeum stage was with The Immaculate Conception of Virginia Manchado - a play she wrote, directed and produced as part of her senior thesis on "Chicana Theater."
In 2002, Martinez moved to Chicago to become one of the city's youngest non-profit executives, heading up a community non-profit at the age of 24. Most currently, Martinez serves as Director of Operations and Development at the Chicago Foundation for Education - an organization dedicated to improving the educational experiences of public school children.
Her debut novel, published by award-winning Cinco Puntos Press, has been recommended by the Assembly on Literature for Adolescents (ALAN). It's also been featured in the Kirkus Big Book Guide 2008 and as a summer must-read by Hispanic Magazine.
In her Athenaeum presentation, Claudia will read from her new novel and talk about the importance of writing the Latino experience for a young audience. According to U.S. Census Bureau estimates, Latinos now account for about one in four children younger than 5 in the United States. In ten years a quarter of the 10 to 14 year-olds living in the U.S. will be Hispanic (that statistic is closer to half in California). Yet, according to the Cooperative Children's Book Center at the School of Education at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, only about 2% of the 5,000 children's books published in the U.S. annually are by or about Latinos.
Claudia Martinez is the keynote speaker for the Claremont Colleges celebration of Latino Heritage Month and her visit is jointly sponsored by the Athenaeum and Chicano/Latino Student Affairs Center.
Israel and the Question of Global Anti-Semitism
Born in Jerusalem to east-European Zionist immigrants, Amos Oz, Israel's best-known novelist, spent more than thirty years living and working at the Hulda kibbutz in central Israel before moving to his present home in Arad, on the border of the Judean and Negev Deserts. Oz's service in the Israeli defense forces involved him in border skirmishes with Syria, assignment with a tank unit during the Six-Day War, and action in Golan Heights during the Yom Kippur War. In 1961, following studies in philosophy and literature at Hebrew University, he began writing ceaselessly, first contributing articles to the kibbutz newsletter and the newspaper Davar, and eventually publishing nearly a book per year, beginning with his first collection of stories Where the Jackals Howl (1965) and his first novel, Elsewhere, Perhaps (1966). Besides the 20 or so books he has written in Hebrew, Oz has published extensively in English, his fiction and non-fiction — predominantly on politics and literature — having appeared in New Yorker, the New York Review of Books, and numerous other publications.
Long identified for his advocacy of a two-state solution that would effect a secure division of Israel and Palestine, Oz has for more than 40 years — at least since the Six-Day War of 1967, when national exaltation over Israel's victory virtually quashed any discussion of compromise on the West Bank and Gaza — withstood attacks from the press, government, and professional peers. As David Remnick explained, "Oz is rebuked because he continues to criticize both the Israeli and the Palestinian leaderships rather than see the situation as a version of the French disaster in Algeria."
For his literary output, which, besides his novels, includes more than 450 articles and essays, Oz has received several of the world most prestigious awards and citations, including the Israel Prize for Literature in 1998 (the 50th anniversary of Israel's independence), the Goethe Prize in 2005, and the Heinrich Heine Prize in 2008. His works have been translated into more than 30 languages.
Amos Oz's presentation is sponsored by the Family of Benjamin Z. Gould Center for Humanistic Studies.
The Economy and Merchants of Safavid Iran: Views from the Khyber Pass
LUNCH 11:45 a.m. LECTURE 12:30 p.m.
Under the Safavid Dynasty (1501-1722) and the Mughal Empire (1526-1739/1858), Iran and South Asia were incorporated into the early modern world economy, which saw merchants and commodities crossing regional and imperial boundaries. Stephen Dale's presentation at the Athenaeum will explore the economic and commercial history of Safavid Iran, in particular its exchanges with South Asia. Dale has traveled extensively in Iran and studies the contemporary Mughal Empire. He spent much time in Iran as a graduate student and new assistant professor - visiting four different times over one decade - usually on the way to or from India. He never failed to be struck with the extraordinary physical, economic and cultural characteristics of the two contiguous regions, which were also so intimately connected by trade and cultural exchange. From this "outsider's perspective" – the perspective of someone who comes to Iranian studies from India – Dale brings together the histories of the Safavid and Mughal dynasties, offering views of the contrasts and linkages between early modern Iran and South Asia. Dale's presentation will focus on Iran, outlining the fundamental structural facts that explain the nature and strength of the Iranian economy and its merchants, particularly as compared with the Mughal economy and its merchant classes.
Professor Dale specializes in and teaches courses on the history of the eastern Islamic world, specifically India, Afghanistan, Iran, and Central Asia at Ohio State University. He has conducted research on one of the oldest Muslim communities in the Indian subcontinent, the Mappilas of Malabar or Kerala in southwestern India, and on Indian merchants who conducted trade in Iran, Central Asia, and Russia in the early modern era. His publications include Indian Merchants and Eurasian Trade, 1600-1750 (Cambridge, 2002) and The Garden of Eight Paradises: Babur and the Culture of Empire in Central Asia, Afghanistan, and India (Brill, 2004). Dale's talk, "The Economy and Merchants of Safavid Iran: Views from the Khyber Pass," is the keynote address for a Mellon conference on "The Trade and Traffic of Persia" to be held at the Claremont Colleges on September 19-September 20, 2008.
The Global Amphibian Crisis: The Scope and Scale of the Problem and Response
LUNCH 11:30 a.m. LECTURE 12:00 p.m.
During 2008, "Amphibian Ark" is leading zoos, botanical gardens, and aquariums in a globally-coordinated public awareness campaign "The Year of the Frog" (2008 is a leap year!). The current amphibian extinction crisis represents the greatest species conservation challenge in the history of humanity. To celebrate this year and to help raise awareness of the current status of these animals, The Joint Science Department and the Marian Miner Cook Athenaeum is pleased to offer a seminar by Dr. Joe Mendelson. Dr. Mendelson is Curator of Herpetology, Zoo Atlanta, and adjunct associate professor of biology, Utah State University.
Dr. Mendelson has been studying Neotropical amphibians and reptiles for 20 years, concentrating on those in Mexico, Guatemala, Panama, Ecuador, and Peru. Most of his work has involved systematics and taxonomy - including the discovery and description of about 35 new species of amphibians. Other research has included phylogenetic studies, field ecology, and conservation. The results of his work have been published in journals such as Science, Public Library of Science, Molecular Ecology, and Journal of Herpetology and featured in media outlets such as National Public Radio, National Geographic, Nature, New York Times, and CNN.
In recent years, as the scope and extent of global amphibian extinctions have come to light, Dr. Mendelson has redirected much of his energy into conservation programs to help save amphibians and understand the root causes of their declines, and to conceive and implement pro-active conservation programs. His professional transition included transferring from an academic appointment to a research and conservation position at a zoo.
"The 'Axis of Evil' and Beyond: U.S. Foreign Policy in a Complex and Dangerous World"
From the future of Iraq, to the U.S. presidential debates, to the air quality in Beijing, James Fallows leaves no stone unturned in his blogging and reporting as national correspondent for The Atlantic Monthly. Mr. Fallows goes outside the traditional topics of politics and economics. For example, he has written extensively about aviation and computer technology. In fact, Fallows spent six months working at Microsoft designing new software for writers.
James Fallows has worked for The Atlantic Monthly for over 25 years, and has lived and worked in Washington D.C., Seattle, Berkeley, Austin, Tokyo, Kuala Lumpur, Shanghai, and now Beijing. Fallows, the author of seven books, is a winner of the National Book Award for National Defense (1981), and was recently awarded the National Magazine Award for his Atlantic Monthly article about the consequences of victory in Iraq. His newest work, Postcards from Tomorrow Square: Reports from China, will be released in early 2009.
Fallows is also a well known editor and speechwriter. He edited The Washington Monthly, Texas Monthly and from 1996-1998, U.S. News & World Report. From 1977-1979, he served as President Carter's chief speechwriter. Fallows is the founding chairman of the New American Foundation, a foundation "that invests in new thinkers and new ideas to address the next generation of challenges facing the United States." A Southern California native, he attended Redlands High School. He received his undergraduate degree from Harvard and studied economics at Oxford University as a Rhodes Scholar.
The Wilsonian Imagination in the Middle East: The King-Crane Commission Report of 1919
At the Paris Peace Conference of 1919, the United States was in the unusual position of making peace in the Middle East without ever having declared war on the Ottoman Empire. Frustrated with Allied machinations and stalling, President Woodrow Wilson sent an American commission to the region to make recommendations. The co-chairs were Henry Churchill King, president of Oberlin College, and Charles Crane, a Wilson fundraiser and self-financed foreign policy entrepreneur. The commission was charged with determining the views of "the people" in creating post-Ottoman territories and institutions. Their report, presented in August 1919, called for sweeping reorganization of the region under American sponsorship.
While it has always been easy to deride the report as "unrealistic," it remains of interest to scholars of the Middle East and foreign policy because of its detailed attempt to implement Wilsonianism in a volatile and strategic part of the world. Its recommendations carried to their logical conclusions universalist democratic principles as well as a version of Progressivism clearly inspired by Protestant theology. The King-Crane Commission Report was not "realistic," and did not seek to be. Rather, it sought both to create and implement new rules of international relations that would inform American thinking about foreign policy long thereafter.
Leonard V. Smith is William F. Podlich Distinguished Fellow at Claremont McKenna College for the Fall Semester 2008, and is Frederick B. Artz Professor of History at Oberlin College. At CMC, he is teaching a new course entitled "International Relations Theory for Historians," and is embarking on a new research project on the Paris Peace Conference of 1919. His most recent book is The Embattled Self: French Soldiers' Testimony of the Great War (Cornell University Press, 2007). He is also the author of Between Mutiny and Obedience: The Case of the French Fifth Infantry Division during World War I (Princeton University Press, 1994), co-author of France and the Great War, 1914-1918 (Cambridge University Press, 2003), and co-editor of France at War: Vichy and the Historians (Berg, 2000). Smith has held fellowships from the Rockefeller Foundation, the National Endowment for the Humanities, and the National Humanities Center, and has been a visiting professor at the École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales, the Université de Paris-VII, and in the Associated Kyoto Program at Doshisha University in Kyoto, Japan.
Great Expectations: The Stock Market, the Washington Consensus, and the Promise of Prosperity in the Developing World
Peter Henry is the Konosuke Matsushita Professor of International Economics at the Stanford University Graduate School of Business and a leading expert on the effects of economic reforms in emerging market countries. His research uses the stock market to assess the impact of economic reforms on the lives of people in developing countries. A central premise of his work is that using the stock market to evaluate economic reforms can help to minimize ideological differences, thereby enabling policy makers to grapple objectively with some of the most important and controversial economic questions of our time: Is it possible to stabilize inflation without undermining economic growth? Should emerging nations permit capital to flow freely in and out of their economies? Does debt relief help or hurt developing countries? Professor Henry's Athenaeum lecture will focus on the importance of past and future economic reforms for raising standards of living in emerging market countries.
Professor Henry received his bachelor's degree in economics from the University of North Carolina and a Ph.D. in economics from MIT. He played on the varsity football team at UNC and was a finalist in the intramural slam dunk contest in 1991. He is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations, a Research Associate at the National Bureau of Economic Research, and leads the external economic advisory group of the presidential campaign of United States Senator Barack Obama. His research has been published in top economics and finance journals including the American Economic Review, Journal of Economic Literature, Journal of Finance, and the Journal of Financial Economics.
Peter Henry's Athenaeum lecture is cosponsored by the Lowe Institute of Political Economy and the Athenaeum at Claremont McKenna College.

From the Director
Founding trustee Donald McKenna and former CMC President Jack Stark '57 are credited with bringing the Athenaeum to CMC. McKenna is famously quoted as saying that the Athenaeum should be an "anti-department". His idea was to have a place that would allow students to engage in informal intellectual pursuits not necessarily connected with the classroom.
I am convinced that even Donald McKenna would enjoy the intellectual smorgasbord of speakers and programs offered to the community in 2008-2009.
Many programs are organized into series focusing on specific themes, such as perspectives on the 2008 election, the media revolution, Israel at 60, self and society, life after CMC, critical topics in world history, faculty ideas in progress, and environmental concerns. We will also host poets, writers, and musicians.
I urge you to take advantage of the opportunity to enjoy a gourmet meal, visit with friends and professors, and meet our distinguished guests. To reserve a place for the dinner or lunch preceding each event, please go online www.claremontmckenna.edu/mmca and make your selection. Reservations are not needed to attend just the 6:45 p.m. presentation. Our staff works to create a refined dining experience and so we expect you to dress up a bit for dinner—no shorts, jeans, or T-shirts, please.
You are also invited to drop by Parents Library for the popular daily afternoon tea featuring Sid's homemade cookies and pastries. Tea is served Monday through Friday from 3:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Athenaeum Woolley fellows for this academic year are Aaron Champagne '10 and Luke Johnson '09. You will be seeing and hearing from them soon.

Ant is the predominant build environment for Java projects. Groovy is a leading Scripting language for the JVM. The good news is that you can use them together easily and with many benefits.
Existing Ant Users (Java Projects): If you are already familiar with using Ant with a traditional
build.xml file, then you can continue to do so with almost no changes. If you want you can begin to use the The groovy Ant Task to bring the full power of a scripting language to your build scripts.
Existing Ant Users (Groovy or mixed Groovy/Java Projects): If you wish to pre-compile your Groovy scripts as part of your build process (it can help catch syntactic errors earlier if you do) then you need to know about the Groovyc ant task. You will find it almost identical to the
javac task which you are probably already familiar with.
Existing Groovy Users: You probably want to consider how you can use AntBuilder to leverage the many available Ant tasks directly in your code using a DSL-style notation. You can leverage Ant Libraries in the same way.

When then Fairleigh Dickinson University freshman Sam Chelanga entered the 2006 indoor IC4A championships in need of an NCAA championship qualifying time for the 5,000m, he knew just who to ask for help: Liberty University distance star Josh McDougal. Chelanga approached McDougal before the race in hopes that they could trade laps and share the pace, ensuring a fast time. The response shocked him: McDougal wanted no part in trading laps; instead, he guaranteed Chelanga that if he simply stayed in his hip pocket he would nail his qualifier.
It worked out perfectly. McDougal clicked off 2:46 per kilometer through 4K before unleashing a 2:33 final kilometer to cross in 13:37. Chelanga hung on to run 13:46 – good enough to qualify for the indoor NCAA meet, where he finished fourth (beating McDougal in the process).
What McDougal couldn't have foreseen then was that the selfless gesture to aid Chelanga made such an impression that when Chelanga elected to transfer following his freshman year, tiny Liberty University, a Christian school in Lynchburg, Va., was atop the list.
Chelanga, whose demeanor is as unassuming as his slight 5-foot-7, 120-pound stature, sat out last year per NCAA transfer rules, and then burst onto the collegiate scene full of run, going undefeated this fall prior to finishing second in an epic duel to Oregon Olympian Galen Rupp at the 2008 NCAA cross country championships. Their subsequent duel was no less thrilling: At this winter's Tyson Invitational in Fayetteville, AR, Rupp and Chelanga recorded the top two 5,000m marks in NCAA history (13:18.12 and 13:19.79, respectively).
Chelanga's unreal ascent to the top of the all-time collegiate distance running ranks has been as serendipitous as his journey to Liberty. For with Chelanga, you can toss all the assumptions you have about Kenyan distance-running prowess, spare one telling attribute. Chelanga did not run miles to and from school as a child – he lived but a mile from school, and he didn't run at all as a high school student. He played – no lie – ping pong, preferring that to anything more strenuous. Only when the need arose to earn a collegiate scholarship to the U. S. did running come into the picture. Chelanga's brother (enter caveat) is 2:07 marathoner Joshua Chelanga; with Joshua's encouragement Sam joined the local training group and gave running a go.
Thus did Chelanga embark on a two-year apprenticeship with the local running crew of 25 or so neighborhood runners, led by none other than world champion Paul Tergat. The result of his novitiate was a stride so fluid that it belies the fact that such efficiency was gained at tremendous cost: two years of singular devotion to a task Chelanga succinctly describes as "the hardest thing I've ever done in my life."
The schedule varied little from week to week and featured a steady diet of running that included a fartlek, tempo run, and 18-mile long run. Though he struggled in those two years to consistently run twice a day, as was the norm for his training partners, in due time he gained enough endurance to beat a few people on training runs that, as is customary for Kenyans, usually began slowly and finished with the runners "really clicking."
As important, though not as tangible, as the gains Chelanga made in his physical constitution were the leaps he made mentally. For though he came to the U. S. having never run a formal race, he had in two years training with Tergat's crew gained skills some American harriers fail to garner in a lifetime.
"The most important thing about Kenyans is that they like to race," Chelanga says. "Even me, I'm a racer. . . . When we train at home, we throw a lot of surges in the middle of a workout or long run or tempo run; that just gets you prepared to attack at any time, any moment, if you want to. That's how Kenyans train. I see them doing that all the time. Americans just like things smooth."
McDougal, now a Liberty graduate assistant who is running professionally, reaped the benefits of Chelanga's approach from the moment he stepped on campus. For four years McDougal had largely trained solo, without peers to challenge him as he honed his approach of running 100-145 miles a week, largely in singles, with a heavy emphasis on threshold work.
While he'd always enjoyed progressively upping the pace through his weekly 45-to 50-minute threshold session until he was really flying towards the end, Chelanga's presence allowed him to take liberties with whatever effort he had planned and push himself to theretofore unseen heights by employing tactics Chelanga regularly practiced in Kenya.
