Air Force advisor gives tips for working with private sector
Thursday - 12/30/2010, 2:01am EST
(This show originally aired November 18, 2010.)
December 30, 2010 -- Are federal agencies and, particularly, the armed services using the expertise that's in the private sector in the most effective way? Not always.
This week on Federal Security Spotlight host Tom Temin talks to Riley Repko, the senior advisor for cybersecurity to the Deputy Chief of Staff for Operations and Requirements at the Air Force.
Using his experience in the private sector, Repko proposes a whole new model for how large and small companies can transfer knowledge to the government in a way that's equitable to everyone but also speeds the insertion of new technology.

Landmine blasts point to Maoists, says CPI(M)
KOLKATA/NEW DELHI: There was sporadic violence again in the Nandigram area of West Bengal on Wednesday. It involved activists of the Trinamool Congress-backed Bhumi Ucched Pratirdoh (Resistance against Land Eviction) Committee and the Communist Party of India (Marxist). The State Government said some of those who had left their villages following violence had started returning.
The death toll in the violence on Tuesday that had spilled over from the previous night had risen to four, Home Secretary Prasad Ranjan Ray said. He mentioned reports of one more death.
But Trinamool Congress chief Mamata Banerjee claimed that 22 persons had died and that several bodies had been thrown into the Haldi river. There were reports of houses being set on fire and bomb-throwing between rival groups.
Roadblocks were set up in parts of Kolkata and in the districts following a call by the Trinamool Congress for a stir, leading to disruptions.
Governor Gopalkrishna Gandhi called Mr. Ray and Director- General of Police A.B. Vohra to the Raj Bhavan. He was told of steps being taken to tackle the violence.
"There was no major violence in Nandigram during the day and many have started returning to their homes, though there are others still unable to do so," Mr. Ray said later. Three days of violence has resulted in a fresh exodus, and nearly 2,000 people are still away from their villages.
Mr. Ray had no information about the arrival of Central forces for deployment, as sought by Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee who spoke to Union Home Minister Shivraj Patil.
The Left Front leadership renewed its call to re-initiate the peace process through discussions between political parties. Left Front Committee Chairman and CPI(M) State Committee Secretary Biman Bose hoped "that peace could return in the area through a negotiated settlement."
Veteran leader Jyoti Basu said the Left Front had asked the Chief Minister to put off the deployment of central forces given the situation. If required, he would call Ms. Banerjee "one hundred times" for talks to explore ways to restore normality.
In New Delhi, the CPI(M) expressed concern at the recurrence of violence in Nandigram, and said the West Bengal Government should ensure the induction of the Central security forces to restore normality and peace.
In a statement, the party Polit Bureau said an alliance of political forces had occupied the area and physically driven out all those who were identified with the Left.
"Under the guise of the Bhumi Ucched Pratirodh Samiti, the Trinamool Congress and some other forces have combined to maintain their sway in the area. In order to achieve their aims they have ganged up with the Maoists who have brought in armed squads from outside West Bengal," it alleged.
The Maoists' role, the Polit Bureau said, has been exposed by the landmine blasts that took place on Tuesday.

President Obama will use the backdrop of a White House science fair Tuesday to highlight a nationwide shortage of math and science teachers and unveil a plan to invest $100 million to help train 100,000 new educators over the next decade.
Under his proposal, Obama will ask Congress for $80 million to support new Department of Education grants for colleges that provide innovative teacher-training programs. The president also is set to announce a $22 million commitment from private companies that will support the effort, according to White House officials.

Casa Consulado is absolutely beautiful and in the perfect, convenient location. Our family of 5 had a wonderful time and enjoyed everything Granada had to offer. GPS was very helpful and arranged for a great driver Julio to drive us to all the sites. I would definitely stay here again, the best house in Granada!
Four of us stayed at Casa Consulada for 5 nights. We took the option of hiring the recommended cook, Ivania, for breakfast and a couple of extra meals left in the refrigerator. The owner and the rental agency in Granada, GPS, were both very helpful prior to our arrival with information about the house and suggestions of things to do. While in Granada GPS was accommodating and easily accessible. The house itself was spectacular. Beds were all comfortable. The sitting areas and kitchen all contributed to a relaxed atmosphere, so much so that we could have been totally content to stay in the house for our entire visit, however the city of Granada called to us. We will return to the same property when we visit again.
We went to Granada for a wedding with a group of 80 or so. This is not our first time but this house made it the best time. Other people from the group rented other houses. Casa Yula, Casa Agua Luna, Casa La Sirena, just to name a few. There were a total of 14 houses rented within our group and we visited all of them. All the houses are decent and have their own charm but none are comparable to Casa Consulado. Everyone agreed that we had the best house! I would compare this house to a tranquil spa like retreat. It was breezy so the AC was barely needed. The view from the top deck is one of a kind in Granada and breathtaking. It is close to everything so it was very convenient. The sunsets from the top deck were a nightly attraction. I think the pictures on this site do not do it justice.
my family and me spent 4 days in this great house to celebrate my birthday. the organisation was perfect, we arrived late but a nice guy was waiting for us to show us everything.
the rooms are in perfect conditions, the kitchen is fully equipped and the pool is amazing. the housecleaning also worked perfect and so he had a perfect stay in this house.
the only thing i would change is a better internetaccess, it just works good in the masterbedroom groundfloor - but to be honest my family enjoyed that because of this i could not work all the time.
Our experience at Casa Consulado far exceeded our expectations. The house is beautiful, spacious and perfectly located. We walked everywhere with no problem. Isabel is a gem!!!! My parents arrived a day early and Vanessa at GPS took care of all the details so that they could get into the house a day early. I highly recommend Pierre at Nica Adventures. Their group is excellent for any travel needs that you may have!! We plan on going back to this lovely home with in a year!!!
Granada is a wonderful city to visit but you will be hard pressed to leave this incredible home and step outside. I had to write this review while still sitting in the stunning courtyard. Every consideration has gone into it. The luxurious beds and bathrooms are obvious, but the wonderful details are so appreciated. Containers to keep your food safe and fresh, eight or ten ways to make your morning coffee. There was even delicious coffee waiting for us. I would love to meet the owners, they truly know how to live and they treat their guests accordingly. Isbella, the housekeeper, is simply wonderful. She even left this laptop for our convenience. Thank you for making our Nicaraguan experience so special and memorable. It is obvious that the owners love their home here and spend time in it. We appreciate them sharing it with us.This has been a exceptional time and we are grateful for having the opportunity to enjoy such a special home. Absolutely book this. You will be so glad you did. Mucho Gracias!!!

By James Slater: Manchester warrior John Murray, 31-1(18) admits he was surprised when he got the call telling him he had the next shot at WBA lightweight Champ Brandon Rios; but the teak-tough 26-year-old promises he will absolutely make the most of his Dec. 3rd chance.
Murray, coming off a stoppage loss to fellow Brit Kevin Mitchell (in a thriller), is confident he will shock the odds when he gets in there with the unbeaten Rios.
Very kindly taking the time to speak with me today, the former British and European lightweight champ had the following things to say:
James Slater: Its great to be able to speak with you, John. Obviously everyones talking about this huge fight you have coming up with Brandon Rios. Its still quite a while away, but how has training been going so far for December 3rd?
John Murray: Its been going really well. Obviously Ive changed trainers; I split with Joe Gallagher - but the training couldnt have gone any better. Im really enthusiastic and Im working on certain things in the gym. There were a lot of fighters at Joes gym, and even though we all work hard, he was so busy switching from fighter to fighter, certain technical things got left undone maybe. You know, Joe is a very busy man; with so many fighters to concentrate on. But now, at my new gym, I have one-on-one attention. I feel Im improving and this is the best Ive felt for a long time.
J.S: A lot of people seem to think Brandon Rios will be the next big thing. Do you rate him as highly, as the best lightweight out there - or do you think there may be a bit of hype attached to him?
J.M: I think he is ranked number-one; now that [Juan Manuel] Marquez has moved up. So yeah, he is regarded as the best. But style-wise, I think hes perfect for me. I think this fight will be a cracking fight while it lasts. Im so excited for this fight; I want to prove that I am world class.
J.S: Were you surprised when this fight came up, seeing as you did lose to Kevin Mitchell?
J.M: Yes, I was very surprised. I thought Id be [left] in boxing wonderland, and have to go back to the drawing board - I didnt know what Frank [Warren] would have for me. But I was back in the gym straight away, and Id done five weeks in the gym when I found out about the [Rios] fight. As I say, I think this fight is perfect for me. Thursday I will start sparring and this fight has got my juices going. I feel like Ive come out a winner [from the Mitchell defeat], in that Ive changed trainers, got a new start and now this big world title chance. That loss has done a lot for me. If it wasnt for that loss Id still have the same attitude. But now Ive learnt; I cant just go in and take shots. Ive got to pace myself. As I say, Im working on things in the gym.
J.S: Is Rios as good as they say then? I know hes a fighter you had on your radar even before the Mitchell fight was signed.
J.M: Hes very good, no doubt. Hes stopped his last ten, he hits hard and he puts his shots together. But he is a bit untested, as hes yet to go 12-rounds. All I know is, Ill prepare myself to be the very best I can be. I truly believe I can beat Rios. Ive seen him over the years, on SKY and on You Tube, and I know what hes all about. Im so ready to go out there and shock everyone by winning this.
J.S: He has said he admires your style, in that you will give him a war. Do you feel this fight will be about who is toughest, as opposed to who is the better boxer? Will this be a battle of the toughest in your opinion?
J.M: Yeah. Well see who is the toughest. We both know what were about, we both out-tough our opponents. Ive always come out on top in those type of fights apart from the last one, and Ive always dreamt of having those Gatti-Ward, Barrera-Morales- type fights. Ive always given the fans exciting fight and I cant see why this one will be any different. Ill be in tip-top shape for this fight.
J.S: Do you feel Rios may be underestimating you? He has already spoken of moving up to face guys like Marcos Maidana?
J.M: Possibly, but hed be very unwise to do so. Hell pay the price on the night if he has, because hell be shocked at how strong I am and how willing I am. Ill be in his face all night long!
J.S: And youve fought in America before, so thats no issue for you?
J.M: Not at all. My careers been leading up to this fight; this type of chance. Ive gone to the U.S before and Ive had a practice run by fighting there. Now that Im used to it, it will stand me in good stead for this fight; it wont be anything new. Like I said, Im ultra-confident for this fight. I know Im a massive underdog, but I tell you, Ill be worth every penny if you have a bet! Im so sure Im going to pull this off. I have no prediction, other than to say Ill got for him. If a KO comes it comes, but Ill be ready to fight 12 very hard rounds to win this.
J.S: Best of luck for the fight, John. It will go out on BoxNation?
J.M: Thats right.
J.S: Youll score a great British away win - up there with Honeyghan-Curry, etc - if you can do this! Fingers crossed youll be bringing the WBA lightweight title home with you!
J.M: Thanks a lot mate.

Jackie Fortus, The Marcus Group, Inc.
Immediate Release – December 13, 2011
HACKENSACK, NJ – Gilda's Club Northern New Jersey recently hosted a free cancer support and resource fair where more than 20 local and national organizations presented a range of information to individuals touched by cancer.

ofcmetz wrote:I would use the Total Bond Market and Total Stock Market index funds in the 401K. I don't think the European Stock Index is a good international substitute as it's too concentrated. Instead, I would open up a ROTH IRA at Vanguard and use the Total International Stock Index there.
rdlaner wrote:One more question I have is regarding my remaining student loan debt. Is it advisable to use some or most or all of the $15k I have available to paying that off? Since it has been advised not to invest that in a taxable account, it's not likely that I can make a greater return on that money than the interest I am paying on my loans.
What suggestions would be made with this?
First question: given this scenario, is it still to wise to invest in stocks within a 401(k)?
Given that I am 28 years old, I would like to have stocks make up a larger portion of my early portfolio. Given the limited selection of funds in my employers 401(k), this is the allocation I am considering:
Vanguard Inflation-Protected Securities: 5%
Vanguard Total Bond MarketIndex: 20%
Vanguard REIT Index: 10%
Vanguard Total Stock Market Index: 45%
Vanguard European Stock Index: 20%
From what I have researched, most of these funds seem fairly worthwhile. The one I am most unsure about, however, is the Vanguard European Stock Index. It, however, is the only low cost international stock fund that I can choose with this 401(k).
Second question: Does this asset allocation look reasonable and is VEURX a worthwhile component for international diversification?
Last question, give my the information that I have briefly outlined, are there any suggestions on a wiser plan for investing?
rdlaner wrote:Thanks xram, Twins Fan, and Taylor.
I think all your advice resounds very well with me. I think I will adopt a mixed approach with the $15k: pay down some of the high interest student loans, throw a little into the emergency fund, and then put the rest into a Roth IRA.
Taylor, since you suggested opening the the Roth IRA's, what sort of asset allocation would you recommend? Would it be a straight forward 3 fund portfolio:
Total Stock Market
Total Bond
Total International Stock?
Or, would you suggest something different for this specific situation. Since I suspect that I may end up using some of these funds for a house down payment in the undetermined future, I am more inclined to weigh this account towards bonds and securities. What do you think?
Thanks again! This has been most helpful.
rdlaner wrote:It states that I can withdraw earnings from the Roth prior to 5 years and avoid the 10% penalty, however, I will have to pay taxes on the withdrawn earnings.
Can someone verify this? I haven't been able to confirm this in the IRS documentation, so I'm hoping to get as many sets of eyes on this as possible.

Open Source Debate
Last month we published an article by Eric Raymond on Netscape's decision to release the source code for their web browser. A lot has happened since Eric's article, and that lot is what I wish to talk about this month.
As part of Eric's article, he introduced a new phrase for talking about software such as Netscape Navigator as well as other software where the source code is freely available. The phrase is Open Source.
The idea for a new name and the choice of that name has been an ongoing debate and, at this writing, continues. The confusion is associated with the term Free Software. Free has many different meanings. In particular, free can refer to price or to freedom. While freedom is the issue that we are attempting to address, there has continued to be confusion.
Rather than attempting to define what we mean by free, the introduction of a new term seemed in order. With the new term comes the opportunity to define it.
Bruce Perens (of Software in the Public Interest) and I decided that a web site with a repository of information on Open Source was the best approach. That web site is at http://www.opensource.org/ and includes the definition of Open Source and extensive resources to get others on the Open Source bandwagon.
By the time you read this magazine, the source code for Netscape Communicator 5.0 Standard Edition should be available. Netscape announced they would release this code on March 31, 1998.
Netscape released a preliminary version of their license agreement (Netscape Public License) for public comment. That comment period ran through March 11.
Netscape put the proposed license on the Web along with a FAQ and annotations. The ongoing saga of this license is available on the Web at http://www.mozilla.org/. I'm not a lawyer but what I see of the license makes sense. It isn't a GPL and it isn't a BSD license, but that is because neither makes sense for Netscape.
One thing in the license I found interesting is they have elected to keep the name Netscape for branded products and allow the use of Mozilla for derived works. This makes sense to me. When I was talking to Eric Raymond before he met with Netscape, I brought up the concern that a bad port or modification of a Netscape product could reflect poorly on all Netscape products. The decision to use a different name offers the needed freedom, yet allows the consumer to differentiate between a Netscape product and a derived product.
Netscape is not the only commercial vendor in the Open Source camp; there are others.
One hardware vendor who got into this camp before it even existed is Cyclades. Cyclades was the first communications board manufacturer to embrace Linux. They have always made the source code available for their drivers and their sales growth in the Linux and BSD markets has supported their decision to release source code for their drivers.
Another long-term vendor in this community is Cygnus Solutions. They offer commercial support for open source software and continue to grow and evolve with the community.
Of course, all the Linux vendors are there by default as well as the Apache web server and the Perl programming language. Vendors who elect to get involved with these products become part of the Open source vendor base.
I have already mentioned the Open Source and Mozilla web sites. As always, we put late-breaking Linux news up on the Linux Resources web site, http://www.linuxresources.com/.

Blown out RHI glue
I know it's not a sailboat... but some of you sailors must have had rhib problems at some point right?
Boat: 12' center console Aquapro RHIB
Motor: 25hp honda 4 stroke
Year: 2001
Construction: PVC tubes, Aluminum Hull
Problem: Glue failure at transom-tube joints
I bought it used for cheap a couple years ago and have had lots of fun with it, should I:
a. Try to clean that glue off (googone??) and reglue with "Colle Klebstoff Glue - Groupe ZODIAC 2"?
b. Try to get it professionally redone (I'm cheap tho...)?
c. Pull the Honda off the back and try to put it on a little whaler or similar (tough retrofit...lots of $$$)?
all input appreciated. I'm going back to scrubbing the deck on the real boat....
Your first source of info should be the Aquapro website dealing with repairs, but since they have no technical information at all I'd use deal with their people.
You need to know exactly what it's made of and how it was glued and follow the specific recommendations for fixing it. They specify that they sell tubes made of hydropolymer and hypalon.
I couldn't find anything on what they call hypopolymer assuming yours are not Hypalon.
Ya, that's true, I should def give them a call. I talked to a dealer (not sure if he was officially affiliated with them, just that he sold their stuff) back when I lived in San Fran. He told me PVC construction and sold me this Colle Klebstoff glue...
I'll call them up on Monday and see what they officially suggest.
Thanks man.
If they can't give you a good solution, there's always 5200. :)

84-year-old man rescued from flooded Brooksville home
BROOKSVILLE, Fla. - Troy Fielder was home alone Sunday night because his wife was in the hospital.
His neighbor, Michael Fitzgerald, tells ABC Action News that the 84-year-old man has lived at 4370 Broad Street for 50 years.
When water started to make its way into the home, Fielder was unable to get out.
Two boys, Josh Sanchez and Luis Santana, happened to see flooded vehicles and noticed movement inside a house.
It turned out to be Fielder.
Sanchez and Santana waded into the water and rescued the older man.
Fielder reportedly suffered some minor cuts on one of his feet, but was otherwise okay.
He said he's never seen flooding like this before.

SMITHTON — When the Smithton boys basketball team opened practice on Wednesday they ran. Then they kept running.
Trip after trip, up and down the floor, the Tigers worked on fast breaks, half the squad in gold practice jerseys pushing the ball up the court in one direction, half the squad in black pushing the ball the other way, often getting from one baseline to the other basket with three passes and no dribbles.
It's something Smithton has been doing since the first day of practice.
"The running obviously isn't fun but once you start to put it all down into scrimmage, it begins to make sense as to what we're trying to get at," said senior Tyler Gerke. "Then it becomes fun and you don't think about running any more."
The running in practice means the Tigers do a lot more running in games.
"We have a lot of guys that are in condition and we're able to get up and down the floor," said senior Dane Apsher. "We have a lot more depth than I think people realize. Whenever one guy gets tired we're able to send another guy out there and he'll play hard and we just keep sending the numbers out there."
Last year's Tigers averaged 50.76 points per game, and that included scoring 81 points in a win over La Monte and 67 and 69 in losses to Windsor and Green Ridge. The 2012-13 Tigers topped 60 points in a game four times. So far this season, 60 is the fewest points they've scored in a game, that coming in their loss in the semifinal of the Tipton Tournament against Macks Creek. The Tigers of 2013-14 average 73.6 points per game and reached the 80 point mark in wins over Concordia and Climax Springs. In that game against Climax Springs, the Tigers scored 29 points in the fourth quarter. Last year Cole Camp and Windsor held them to fewer points in an entire game.
"Getting up and down gives us lots of opportunities to score and I think that's going to help us the entire year," said senior Preston McMullen. "We'll press teams to get them to their bench and I think that's where we get our advantage."
The pace the Tigers are setting is completely different from what they were trying to do a year ago. Last year the focus was on working the ball into the paint and taking care of it. This year Smithton will pull down a rebound and immediately look to run.
"We had to do something," said coach Rich Pond. "We won five games last year. What we were doing wasn't working. At the end of the year last year we had a couple of games, like one game in the conference tournament, we only shot the ball 29 times for the whole game and we had 34 turnovers. We need to shoot the ball more. Even if you shoot 20 percent for the game, you're going to score more points if you shoot 60 times than 30 times."
Helping push the tempo is the Tigers' defense.
"We press most of the game as much as we can if we're not in foul trouble," Pond said.
"We've been able to push teams' tempo and make them run," Gerke said. "We don't let them control us."
The Tigers closed the 2012-13 season 5-20, the fifth win coming on Feb. 1 over Lincoln in the Kaysinger Conference Tournament. This season the fifth win also came against Lincoln, but it came on Dec. 10.
The sense that things were about to turn around for the Tigers came with the first two wins of the season, beating Concordia 88-84 and Pilot Grove 78-72.
"Those were wins where we would have crumbled last year in those situations," Apsher said. "But late in the game we didn't panic and we were able to convert late in the game and make our free throws and get a defensive stop whenever we needed to. I feel like that set the tone for what we've been able to do this year and gave us a positive mental state that when it comes down to the last few possessions, we know how to handle that situation now."
The Tigers did not graduate any players from last years' team and came into this season with a core of six seniors.
"They're just more focused," Pond said. "They know it's their last chance."
That group of Apsher, McMullen, Gerke, Damien Hendricks, Zack Smith and Beau Kratzner has played together since elementary school.
"The chemistry has built up," McMullen said. "We're playing as a team this year, a well-oiled machine instead of individually."
For those seniors, the up-tempo game is a return to what they were doing in elementary school.
"Through junior high and our starting years in high school we went away from that," McMullen said. "Going back to that, I think it's worked a lot. With our depth this year, running up and down helps a lot."
A big part of the success has been Smithton's depth, with Apsher averaging a double-double and getting plenty of scoring help from his teammates. In a win Monday over Windsor, Apsher scored 28 points, with Hendricks and McMullen each chipping in 12. Last week against Lincoln it was 20 points from Apsher, 12 from Hendricks and 11 each from McMullen and Jeff Bell. Against Jamestown in the third place game of the Tipton Tournament, Apsher's 19 points were supplemented by 11 each from McMullen and Hendricks. The depth means sometimes Pond will play 10 or 12 players in a game, and practice is designed to get them ready.
"We've been able to get after each other with the different numbers of players we have," Gerke said. "It just seems like we can get more accomplished in practice compared to when we just had our starters and our JV."
Pond said he is seeing more competitiveness in practices this year than he was last season.
"You ramp it up in practice and it carries over into games," he said.
So far it's carried over to a 6-1 record and a new attitude in Smithton.
"It's a lot more fun when you're winning ballgames than when we struggle," Apsher said. "We've been more of a family than a bunch of individuals. The chemistry has been clicking and it's translated to wins and wins translates to fun."
For Apsher, it literally is a family since his younger brother Drew is a freshman on this year's team.
"My freshman year I played with my older brother Dirk and so now I get the experience of being the older brother playing," Dane said. "It's nice because I see lots of good things from him. Occasionally he makes a freshman mistake, but he doesn't show it most of the time. He's got the range, he's not afraid to shoot it, he's got the ability to get to the basket and he sees the court really well. He's fun to play with."
"He pushes the older guys to be better," Pond said. "You never want to get beat by a freshman. He's been doing a great job. He plays AAU ball in the summer so he's come along and he shoots the ball really well too."
Smithton hopes to continue the winning form at Fayette at 8 p.m. today.

13.10.08 By Armstrong Okobia - With a main event that reads the Ghost vs. the Executioner, we may need to put a rating PG on this. On the other hand, we could be exempted as its Halloween season. But is this fight trick or treat? This fight is treat, why? History has shown that fights like this are usually good. Fights that come about because others cant be made have the tendency to surprise us. How many times have we not seen a late substitute come in and make a fight, better than the original one..
Pavlik couldnt find anyone to fight. I wonder why? Would you put your fighter against a freakish built middleweight with the punching power of a LHW? I thought not, so apart from mandatories, no major name wants to step into the ring with this ghost unless his name is Casper the friendly ghost.
In comes B-Hop. You have to admire this man whether you are fan or not. There has got to be this crazy death wish of a thing within him that makes him step to the plate when he doesnt need to. Some say its pure guts, others say its in the Philly water.
I think we can expect a good fight because both guys futures are dependent on the outcome. For Pavlik, it could solidify him as a major money draw and could coheres those into fighting him who originally had not wanted to simply because the chips on the table are just too much to fold on. For B-Hop, its icing on an already glamorous hall of fame career. Also deep down B-Hop wants to beat Kelly to be able to taunt Taylor and his fans. Dont know what that will prove, but I guess for B-Hop it means something and thats enough for him.
Crazy as it may sound, the outcome of this fight will depend on Pavlik. If he can increase the pressure and keep it on B-hop for the entire bout, he is bound to win. Calzghe laid down the blue print. Pressure up, output up equals a win against the aging Executioner. But hold on there is a catch. B-Hop is the master of taking away a fighters main weapon and watching him crumble in the process. We have seen it so many times. The fighter enters this state of fighters shock and is hypnotised into fighting differently, which is usually at a slower pace, which accommodates for B-Hops style which he has adopted later in his career simply because he also realises he cant fight consistently for 12 rounds long. The strange thing is that every fighter knows this, but once they enter the ring and face him, the same story pans out. With the exception of Calzaghe of course.
So Kelly what will it be? Will you fight your fight and focus on putting pressure on the older man and making him fight at a high output, or will you be suckered into a slow tempo counter punching chess match youre bound to lose? In any event we will all be tuned in to see if there is any such thing as the boogie man.

The Daily Mail says Republic of Ireland striker Keane delivered his shock transfer demand after learning Liverpool had lodged a player-plus-cash bid for him on Friday.
The 28-year-old came out of a meeting at White Hart Lane having left club officials in little doubt about his eagerness to play for his boyhood idols. Anfield manager Rafa Benitez sees Keane as the ideal strike partner for Euro 2008 match-winner Fernando Torres and is prepared to part with Peter Crouch and around £5 million to make it happen.

|Feasibility and acceptability of a mother-daughter intervention to address disordered eating behavior among adolescent girls living with type 1 diabetes mellitus
|Schmitt, Terri Lynne
|University of Missouri--Kansas City
|Disordered eating behavior (DEB) is an important health problem among adolescent girls in the United States. DEB has been correlated with the subsequent development of clinically diagnosed eating disorders and with other psychological illnesses. Adolescent females with Type-1diabetes (T1DM) are at higher risk for DEB and have a two-fold higher incidence of disordered eating behavior (DEB) than their non-diabetic counterparts. Individuals with T1DM have the unique ability to omit insulin as a weight reduction strategy. DEB in T1DM adolescent females significantly increases the risk for premature nephropathy, neuropathy, retinopathy, and death. Despite strong evidence to support the association between DEB and negative health outcomes, little research has focused on interventions that lower the risk of DEB among adolescent girls with T1DM. The purpose of this study was to develop and test the feasibility and acceptability of a mother-daughter intervention to address three of the major risk factors for DEB: low self-esteem, poor body image, and maternal- daughter communication. Participants in this study were ten mother-daughter dyads for a total of 20 participants (n = 20). Intervention development was guided by feminist, cognitive behavioral, and current diabetic theoretical frameworks and input from a mother-daughter dyad with the daughter having T1DM. Data was collected from participants on intervention effectiveness and overall acceptability. Feasibility and acceptability of the intervention was high in both mothers and daughters. Positive gains noted by participants included increased knowledge of mother-daughter communication, self-esteem, and deciphering media messages. Participants' goals after intervention included improved communication at home, increased scrutiny of media messages, and improved diabetes care. A pre/post-test design was utilized to examine changes in depression, self-esteem, body image, mother-daughter relationship, and disordered eating risk from pre to post-intervention. Encouraging changes in the clinically desired direction were seen on body image and disordered eating risk post-intervention. The next step in this program of research is to refine the intervention and then conduct a controlled pilot study with a larger sample size.

Romantic Paper Bag Brooch
By: Maria Chatzi
We are adding the craft to your Craft Projects.
The project was added to your Craft Projects.
Click here to view your Craft Projects.
This Romantic Paper Bag Brooch from Maria Chatzi is a beautiful Mother's Day gift or a sweet treat for your Valentine. Made with a paper bag, crafts like this are environmentally friendly and a great way to reuse leftover crafting materials.
- 3 strips cut from a paper bag (all should be 2.4 inches wide and 10.2 inches long)
- White cotton lace ribbon with a pointed edge design, 9.4 inches long and 0.3–0.4 inches wide
- A small pink flat flower (any material will do) for the center – mine is synthetic, from a broken hair clip
- 6 small pink glass beads or faux rose agate chips
- Pink organza ribbon, 3 inches long and 0.3 inches wide
- A small rectangular piece of fabric to cover and secure your brooch pin
- Scissors
- Pencil
- Ruler
- Glue
- A brooch pin
- To start, crumple the paper bag strips with your hands, to give them texture and make them softer to work with. Spread them out one by one. Crumple and spread out once more.
- Fold one of the paper bag strips once in half, and then once more in half again. You should have a square shape (2.4 inches x 2.4 inches).
- Put a little glue on all folds you've made (on all sides of the square) to secure that it will stay together and become more sturdy. This will be the base for your Romantic Brooch. Leave it aside for a while, for the glue to dry.
- Now take the other 2 paper bag strips and glue one's end onto the end of the other strip (the ends should overlap 0.3 inches at this point), so as to create a longer paper bag strip. Wait till the glue is dry and the two ends are secured together.
- Start twisting this long paper bag strip lengthwise. Twist as tightly as possible till you've twisted to full length and then let go of the strip. It keeps its twisted shape but it's not as tight as before.
- Now here comes the harder part of this project: After marking (with your pencil) the center of your square brooch base, start curling your twisted paper strip from its one end. Put some glue on the mark you've just made on the paper bag square and hold your curled strip on it for a while till it sticks to the paper base. Make sure the glue has hardened and you've secured the beginning of your paper flower design before you proceed – this is VERY IMPORTANT.
- After the glue has dried completely, start rolling your twisted paper around this center you've created, so as to form a rosette flower. Remember to put a little glue all around, as you move in circles. When you reach the end, make sure you stick the end under the twisted paper so it doesn't show. Don't be afraid to press and shape this twisted rosette flower with your fingers.
- Turn your square shaped Paper Bag Brooch diagonally. Use your fingers to press down the central part of your paper bag rosette and glue your flat pink flower there.
- Take your cotton lace ribbon with the pointed edges and glue it around your rosette.
- When the glue has dried completely, make a small bow with your organza ribbon and glue it on the lower part of your Romantic Paper Bag Brooch, below the pink flower. Trim any organza in excess.
- Glue your pink glass beads around the rosette – three to the left and three to the right side. Wait for the glue to dry completely – VERY IMPORTANT at this point.
- Now turn your brooch to the back side and glue the brooch pin. When the glue has hardened, secure the pin even better by gluing the little rectangular piece of fabric on it and onto the brooch base too.
- Your Romantic Paper Bag Brooch is ready. Wear it and see how it becomes a conversation starter.

Is there any extension that keeps local copies of popular JavaScript libraries such as jQuery and Mootools, and does a trick under the hood to make websites use them instead of downloading these files over and over again from different domains? I've posted this question on the mozillaZine forums but got no reply.
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Super User is a question and answer site for computer enthusiasts and power users. It's 100% free, no registration required.
There are many versions of both of these libraries around. And just because a site references jquery.js, the file could contain anything. It could be an entirely different set of javascript.
It could also contain a standard copy of the jquery library, but with custom additions.
So in order for an extension to know whether it was safe to use the local copy rather than the one to be downloaded, it would have to first download it and compare it to the local copy.
This would make the extension useless...

Heading into Pride, they have more rights than ever
Elizabeth and Ashleigh Barraza registered as California domestic partners in February and now plan to marry in Washington state, where the Navy hospital corpsman was transferred aboard the carrier John C. Stennis.
The Pentagon said last month it will take six to 12 weeks to issue military ID cards to same-sex couples. Officials indicate that they are moving as quickly as possible to extend other benefits.
There's considerable money on the table. Married service members are eligible for free base housing, or a much higher living allowance if residing off base. Spouses get free military health care, access to low-cost base stores and help with job placement.
The Pentagon estimates that 5,600 same-sex couples include an active-duty service member, 3,400 include a reservist or National Guard member, and 8,000 include a military retiree.
Opponents, such as the Center for Military Readiness, say extending benefits to gay military spouses is an extra expense at a time of scarce resources.
The issue of openly accepting gays into the military was hotly debated in the run-up to the repeal of the 1993 "don't ask, don't tell" policy. Since then, there have been no major reports of dissent.
Retired Vice Adm. Peter Daly, chief executive of the U.S. Naval Institute, said the integration has "gone better than anyone even thought it would go." Before he retired in mid-2011, Daly oversaw creation of the Navy training program used to prepare troops for the new policy. "It's proceeded to be a nonissue throughout the Navy and the military," he said.
Daly said he's seen nothing that foreshadows problems even in off-duty family living. "The operational environment and the experience of the last couple of years tells us people accept this," he said.
But some would say the open service of gays and lesbians, and now their families, adds to a time of significant change, as 12 years of deployments to war zones end and the military faces financial austerity.
Pay and benefits are an issue to the Barrazas and McKinneys. So is whose name is listed as next of kin to be notified in case of accident or death.
These couples also say the little things count.
Ashleigh Barraza, a civilian, can't get on base to meet Elizabeth for lunch. She also can't meet her spouse on the pier when the ship returns home — unless a military friend grants her access.
They are looking forward to when things change.
"It's going to be a huge sigh of relief," Ashleigh said.

I want to add logging or tracing to my C# application but I don't want the overhead of formatting the string or calculating values to be logged if the log verbosity level is set so low that the message will not be logged.
In C++, you can use the preprocessor to define macros that will prevent code from being executed at all like this:
#define VLOG(level,expr) if (level >= g_log.verbosity) { g_log.output << expr; }
Used like this:
VLOG(5,"Expensive function call returns " << ExpensiveFunctionCall());
How do you do that in C#?
I've read the Microsoft docs explaining the Trace and Debug facilities here, and they claim that using #undef DEBUG and #undef TRACE removes all tracing and debugging code from the produced executable, but does it really remove the whole call? Meaning, if I write
it won't call my expensive function if I undefine TRACE? Or does make the call, then decide it won't trace anything?
Anyway, even if it does remove it, this is inferior to the C++ macro because I can't make that big ugly call look like my simple VLOG() call in C++ and still avoid evaluating parameters, can I? Nor can I avoid the overhead by defining the verbosity lower at runtime like I can in C++, right?
