LBSU women's soccer falls to No. 17 Santa Clara, 2-1, in NCAA Tournament
Nov. 10, 2012
SANTA CLARA, Calif. - The Long Beach State women's soccer team put up a fight but was unable to erase a first-half deficit as it fell to No. 17 Santa Clara, 2-1, in the first round of the 2012 NCAA Division I Women's Soccer Championship Saturday at Buck Shaw Stadium.
Senior Alex Balcer scored the 49ers' goal, while classmate Kelsey Wilson picked up her seventh assist of the season. Wilson closes out her two-year career tied for 10th among LBSU's all-time leaders with 11 helpers.
Long Beach State totaled seven shots and three corner kicks on the afternoon. Balcer and senior Nadia Link led the way with two shot attempts each.
Santa Clara (12-3-6), which is in the midst of its 23rd NCAA Tournament appearance, struck first as Meleana Shim found the back of the net in the 18th minute. Lauren Matheson then scored at the 37:01 mark to give the Broncos a 2-0 lead at intermission. The 49ers won the battle in shots (4-3), with three of their four attempts coming on frame in the first half.
Long Beach State (12-8-0) regrouped during the break and broke through at the 70:32 mark. After a foul was called, Wilson delivered a free kick into the middle of the box where Balcer headed it to the lower left corner for her third goal of the season.
The 49ers continued to put pressure up top but eventually ran out of time. They had an opportunity to tie the game in the 85th minute when Wilson sent a corner kick into a crowd of players, but Santa Clara goalkeeper, Andi Tostanoski, was able to punch the ball away from the goal and a Bronco defender then cleared it out of the box.
Tostanoski had five saves, while Santa Clara finished with 10 shots as Matheson and Dani Weatherholt each had three. The Broncos move on to face top-seeded Stanford in the second round next weekend.
Long Beach State was making its third-straight NCAA Tournament appearance and fourth overall. The seven 49er seniors - Alex Balcer, Shannon Bullock, Camille Berg, Nadia Link, Jordan Nelson, Jenny Soza and Kelsey Wilson - have had a lot to do with the program's recent success. They were all members of the record-breaking 2011 squad that won a Big West Tournament title and advanced to the NCAA Elite Eight, while Balcer, Bullock, Berg, Link and Soza also played a part in Long Beach State's 2010 Big West championship and NCAA appearance.
Link, who recently earned her second-consecutive Big West Offensive Player of the Year award, will leave the program as one of the most decorated players to ever don a Long Beach State uniform. A 2011 All-American and three-time first-team All-Big West selection, Link wrapped up her stellar four-year career ranked among the program's all-time greats as she tied for second in scoring (32 goals), tied for third in points (84) and finished fifth in assists (20).

Fine wisps of dust curl away from the disc of a distant galaxy, like smoke billowing from thousands of cosmic chimneys, a new Hubble Space Telescope image reveals. The dust may signal the existence of a few massive young stars within the galaxy, called NGC 5866, which has largely lost the ability to form new stars.
NGC 5866 lies 44 million light years from Earth in the constellation Draco, the Dragon. It is similar in size and mass to the Milky Way and, like our galaxy, has a thin disc of stars (seen edge on in the Hubble image).
But unlike the stars in the Milky Way's disc, those in NGC 5866 are not distributed in spiral arms. Instead, they are spread evenly throughout the disc, meaning NGC 5866 is classed as a lenticular galaxy.
Lenticular galaxies have lost most of their gas, allowing their existing stars to settle into an even distribution over time. But theorists are divided over why they lost the gas in the first place - some think they used it up to form stars, while others believe it was stripped away as the galaxies passed through hot gas in galaxy clusters.
Stirred up
But some lenticular galaxies have retained a little gas. This is thought to be coupled to a thin lane of dust, seen as a long, dark bar in the image of NGC 5866. However, ground-based telescopes could not resolve finer details within these dust lanes.
Now, the Hubble Space Telescope has imaged wisps of dust emanating from both sides of the dust lane in NGC 5866. Similar features in spiral galaxies are thought to be created by young massive stars, which stir up the gas and dust around them.
"So far as I can tell, this is the first time we've seen the delicate dust wisps poking out of the plane in [lenticular] galaxies," says William Keel, an astronomer at the University of Alabama who has studied the Hubble image. "It is consistent with what we know to interpret the wisps as tracers of energy input by a handful of massive stars."
This suggests the galaxy "continues a dribble of star formation, although not enough to clearly delineate spiral arms", Keel told New Scientist. This and similar galaxies with dust lanes will probably lose their remaining gas and dust over time, he says.
This image was taken by Hubble's Advanced Camera for Surveys in February 2006.

A wasp is any insect of the order Hymenoptera and suborder Apocrita that is neither a bee nor ant. The suborder Symphyta, known commonly as sawflies, differ from members of Apocrita by having a broader connection between the mesosoma and metasoma. In addition to this, Symphyta larvae are mostly herbivorous and "caterpillarlike", whereas those of Apocrita are largely predatory or "parasitic" (technically known as parasitoid).
The most familiar wasps belong to Aculeata, a division of Apocrita, whose ovipositors are adapted into a venomous stinger, though a great many species do not sting. Aculeata also contains ants and bees, and many wasps are commonly mistaken for bees, and vice-versa. In a similar respect, insects called "velvet ants" (the family Mutillidae) are technically wasps.
A much narrower and simpler but popular definition of the term wasp is any member of the aculeate family Vespidae, which includes (among others) the genera known in North America as yellowjackets (Vespula and Dolichovespula) and hornets (Vespa); in many countries outside of the Western Hemisphere, the vernacular usage of wasp is even further restricted to apply strictly to yellowjackets (e.g., the "common wasp").
Wasps are critically important in natural biocontrol. Almost every pest insect species has at least one wasp species that is a predator or parasite upon it. Parasitic wasps are also increasingly used in agricultural pest control as they have little impact on crops. Wasps also constitute an important part of the food chain.
In wasps, as in other Hymenoptera, sexes are significantly genetically different. Females have a diploid (2n) number of chromosomes and come about from fertilized eggs. Males, in contrast, have a haploid (n) number of chromosomes and develop from an unfertilized egg. Wasps store sperm inside their body and control its release for each individual egg as it is laid; if a female wishes to produce a male egg, she simply lays the egg without fertilizing it. Therefore, under most conditions in most species, wasps have complete voluntary control over the sex of their offspring.
Anatomically, there is a great deal of variation between different species of wasp. Like all insects, wasps have a hard exoskeleton covering their 3 main body parts. These parts are known as the head, metasoma and mesosoma. Wasps also have a constricted region joining the first and second segments of the abdomen (the first segment is part of the mesosoma, the second is part of the metasoma) known as the petiole. Like all insects, wasps have 3 sets of 2 legs. In addition to their compound eyes, wasps also have several simple eyes known as ocelli. These are typically arranged in a triangular formation just forward of an area of the head known as the vertex.
It is possible to distinguish between certain wasp species genders based on the number of divisions on their antennae. Male Yellowjacket wasps for example have 13 divisions per antenna, while females have 12. Males can in some cases be differentiated from females by virtue of the fact that the upper region of the male's mesosoma (called the tergum) consists of an additional terga. The total number of terga is typically 6. The difference between sterile female worker wasps and queens also varies between species but generally the queen is noticeably larger than both males and other females.
Wasps can be differentiated from bees as bees have a flattened hind basitarsus. Unlike bees, wasps generally lack plumose hairs. They vary in the number and size of hairs they have between species.
Generally wasps are parasites or parasitoids as larvae, and feed only on nectar as adults. Many wasps are predatory, using other insects (often paralyzed) as food for their larvae. A few social wasps are omnivorous, feeding on a variety of fallen fruit, nectar, and carrion. Some of these social wasps, such as yellowjackets, may scavenge for dead insects to provide for their young. In many social species the larvae provide sweet secretions that are fed to the adults.
In parasitic species, the first meals are almost always provided by the animal that the adult wasp used as a host for its young. Adult male wasps sometimes visit flowers to obtain nectar to feed on in much the same manner as honey bees. Occasionally, some species, such as yellowjackets, invade honey bee nests and steal honey and/or brood.
With most species, adult parasitic wasps themselves do not take any nutrients from their prey, and, much like bees, butterflies, and moths, those that do feed as adults typically derive all of their nutrition from nectar. Parasitic wasps are typically parasitoids, and extremely diverse in habits, many laying their eggs in inert stages of their host (egg or pupa), or sometimes paralyzing their prey by injecting it with venom through their ovipositor. They then insert one or more eggs into the host or deposit them upon the host externally. The host remains alive until the parasitoid larvae are mature, usually dying either when the parasitoids pupate, or when they emerge as adults.
The type of nest produced by wasps can depend on the species and location. Many social wasps produce paper pulp nests on trees, in attics, holes in the ground or other such sheltered areas with access to the outdoors. By contrast solitary wasps are generally parasitic or predatory and only the latter build nests at all. Unlike honey bees, wasps have no wax producing glands. Many instead create a paper-like substance primarily from wood pulp. Wood fibers are gathered locally from weathered wood, softened by chewing and mixing with saliva. The pulp is then used to make combs with cells for brood rearing. More commonly, nests are simply burrows excavated in a substrate (usually the soil, but also plant stems), or, if constructed, they are constructed from mud.
The nesting habits of solitary wasps are more diverse than those of social wasps. Mud daubers and pollen wasps construct mud cells in sheltered places typically on the side of walls. Potter wasps similarly build vase-like nests from mud, often with multiple cells, attached to the twigs of trees or against walls. Most other predatory wasps burrow into soil or into plant stems, and a few do not build nests at all and prefer naturally occurring cavities, such as small holes in wood. A single egg is laid in each cell, which is sealed thereafter, so there is no interaction between the larvae and the adults, unlike in social wasps. In some species, male eggs are selectively placed on smaller prey, leading to males being generally smaller than females.
Wasps do not reproduce via mating flights like bees. Instead social wasps reproduce between a fertile queen and male wasp; in some cases queens may be fertilized by the sperm of several males. After successfully mating, the male's sperm cells are stored in a tightly packed ball inside the queen. The sperm cells are kept stored in a dormant state until they are needed the following spring. At a certain time of the year (often around autumn), the bulk of the wasp colony dies away, leaving only the young mated queens alive. During this time they leave the nest and find a suitable area to hibernate for the winter.
By this time the nest size has expanded considerably and now numbers between several hundred and several thousand wasps. Towards the end of the summer, the queen begins to run out of stored sperm to fertilize more eggs. These eggs develop into fertile males and fertile female queens. The male drones then fly out of the nest and find a mate thus perpetuating the wasp reproductive cycle. In most species of social wasp the young queens mate in the vicinity of their home nest and do not travel like their male counterparts do. The young queens will then leave the colony to hibernate for the winter once the other worker wasps and founder queen have started to die off. After successfully mating with a young queen, the male drones die off as well. Generally, young queens and drones from the same nest do not mate with each other; this ensures more genetic variation within wasp populations, especially considering that all members of the colony are theoretically the direct genetic descendants of the founder queen and a single male drone. In practice, however, colonies can sometimes consist of the offspring of several male drones. Wasp queens generally (but not always) create new nests each year, probably because the weak construction of most nests render them uninhabitable after the winter.
Unlike most honey bee queens, wasp queens typically live for only one year (although exceptions are possible). Also, contrary to popular belief queen wasps do not organize their colony or have any raised status and hierarchical power within the social structure. They are more simply the reproductive element of the colony and the initial builder of the nest in those species which construct nests.

Tilting face smartens up watches
Mounting a smartwatch screen on a pair of gamepad motion sensors lets users pan, twist and tilt the screen to navigate content, instead of nudging tiny on-screen icons. "Smartwatches are very capable devices but interacting with them is terrible," says Gierad Laput of Carnegie Mellon University, who unveiled the device at the computer human interaction conference in Toronto, Canada, this week. To show how much better it is for fiddly applications, his team used the watch to play the first-person shooter Doom.
"I don't know how much people would pay for a broken E.T. game, but as a piece of history, it has a different value" Film director Zak Penn talks to Reuters after his documentary team unearthed a stash of the Atari game, E.T., in a landfill site in New Mexico. The 1982 game, created to cash in on the film, is considered one of the worst ever and the landfill, which may contain thousands of copies, has gained cult status
Brazil sets standard for online freedom
Brazil's internet now has its own bill of rights. On 23 April, the country's president, Dilma Rousseff, signed the Marco Civil da Internet that sets out guidelines for freedom of expression, net neutrality and data privacy for the country's 100 million internet users. The move has been praised by internet activists including World Wide Web inventor Tim Berners-Lee, who said it "reflects the internet as it should be".
Denmark's duplicate made in Minecraft
Art imitates life. Danish government workers have recreated their country in its entirety inside the video game Minecraft. Using public environmental data, they were able to automatically map out individual roads, buildings, lakes and even lamp posts. The employees say they hope it will pique children's interest in high-tech mapping projects but anyone can log on to the server and explore the blocky world.

Incredibly Convenient Way to Order FoodFoodler is a great way to order food from a variety of restaurants. I've found that the selection around Boston is quite good, and I can usually find something that appeals to me. Foodler allows its users to search within a cuisine or genre of food and having a history of orders is a great way to quickly redo favorites. The point system is also nice -- avid Foodler users will quickly rack up points for free meals. Can't say no to that.

Buyer Power in Conglomerate Acquisitions

Tulane University - Department of Finance
July 2014
We examine buyer power as a source of value creation in conglomerate acquisitions. We find that an increase in buyer power is positively related to the combined wealth effect of merging firms and negatively related to both the wealth effect of supplier firms and acquirer rival firms. We document post-acquisition decreases in both output prices for supplier industries and cogs-to-sales for merging firms. Our results cannot be explained by asset complementarities between merging firms, pre-acquisition declining trends in output prices in supplier industries, or negative demand shocks in acquiring firm industries. Overall, our evidence supports buyer power in conglomerate acquisitions.

Community Sanitation Overview:
The City of Marshall services almost 100 percent of the 108 housing units with water and wastewater lines. However, water is hauled to the health clinic and Head Start building. A few older housing units could not be hooked up to water and wastewater lines, either. Water is drawn from three wells; one is the primary well and two are back-up wells that are periodically used. The water treatment plant has a storage tank and supplies water as needed.
RUBA Status & Activities This Qtr:
On February 12, RUBA staff traveled to Marshall to conduct a utility management assessment. The city manages a piped water/wastewater utility that services almost 100 percent of the town. The city has not been RUBA compliant for several quarters due to not meeting the requirements for some of the essential indicators. In order to receive additional funding for capital projects and improvements the city needs to regain RUBA compliance. During the on-site visit, RUBA staff met with the mayor, who performs managerial duties, as well as the city clerk/bookkeeper, gathering necessary supporting documentation. This documentation pertained to specific essential and sustainable indicators in the areas of finance, accounting, taxes, personnel, organizational management, and utility operations. During the visit, the operator was not available. While at the city office, RUBA staff learned that the two computers that have QuickBooks installed are not networked. Also, the current printer/fax/scanner is not functional. While on-site, RUBA staff went over the current budget and made suggestions on how to amend it in order to ensure that it is balanced and realistic.
RUBA Activities for the Coming Qtr:
RUBA staff will continue to assist the city in its efforts to satisfy deficient utility management indicators.
Essential Indicators:
13 of 27
Sustainable Indicators:
7 of 27
Total Score:
20 of 54
Essential Indicators
All revenues and expenses for the utility are listed in the utility budget.
The utility has adopted a balanced realistic budget.
Monthly financial reports are prepared and submitted to the policy making board.
The utility is current in paying all water/wastewater electric bills.
The utility has on hand a year's adequate fuel supply or it has a financial plan to purchase an adequate supply.
The utility is receiving revenues (user fees or other sources) sufficient to cover operating expenses.
Sustainable Indicators
The utility is receiving revenues (user fees or other sources sufficient to cover operating expenses and Repair & Replacement (R) costs.
YTD revenues are at a level equal to or above those budgeted.
YTD expenditures are at a level equal to or below those budgeted.
A monthly manager's report is prepared.
Budget amendments are completed and adopted as necessary.
Finances Comments
The City of Marshall has a fiscal year starting on July 1 and ending on June 30. The FY14 budget was adopted on June 28, 2013 by non-code ordinance 13-03. The FY14 budget was amended on February 26, 2014 by non-code ordinance 14-01. The water/wastewater utility revenue is projected to be $100,000, and expenditures $80,456; therefore, the water/wastewater utility is balanced. Because monthly financial reports have not been submitted to the governing body since February 2013, it is not possible to track budget performance. On February 19, 2014, Alaska Village Electric Cooperative communicated that the City of Marshall is not current in paying its electric bills. The Mayor said that in the fall of 2013, the city received 12,500 gallons of heating fuel; this gives the utility a one-year supply. The city also has a credit with NorthStar Gas. The city does not have a repair and replacement fund established. Since the city does not have current monthly financial reports, year-to-date revenues and expenditures cannot be determined. Monthly manager's reports are verbally given to the council. Historically, manager's reports have been recorded in the meeting minutes. However, the last meeting minutes provided to RUBA staff are from March 2013. The policy making body meets the second Wednesday of each month and budget amendments are adopted as necessary.
Accounting Systems
Essential Indicators
The utility has adopted a collection policy and actively follows it.
The utility bills customers on a regular basis.
An accounts receivable system is in place which tracks customers and reports past due accounts and amounts.
An accounts payable system is in place.
The payroll system correctly calculates payroll and keeps records.
A cash receipt system is in place that records incoming money and how it was spent.
The utility has a cash disbursement system that records how money was spent.
Sustainable Indicators
A chart of accounts is used that identifies categories in a reasonable, usable manner.
Monthly bank reconciliations have been completed for all utility accounts.
The utility has a purchasing system that requires approval prior to purchase, and the approval process compares proposed purchases to budgeted amounts.
Accounting Systems Comments
The City of Marshall has adopted a collection policy and included it in Section 4.04.060 of its municipal code. Residential customers are billed $60 a month unless, they are an elder; elders (65 and older) are only charged $30 a month. Commercial units are charged $120 a month and the school is charged $3,000 a month. Statements are sent to customers on the first of the month. An Excel spreadsheet is used to track customer accounts and the past due amounts. Currently, the spreadsheet only has about 90 percent of the customers listed. The city is planning on conducting a survey to update customer accounts. Some residential units have had tenants move out and new tenants move in and begin receiving service without signing a contract or making payments. The city does not have a complete list of vendors that money is owed to. Payroll is recorded on a ledger which includes all council members and administrative staff. This ledger is then entered into QuickBooks. All incoming money is recorded in a receipt book and entered into QuickBooks. All cash disbursements are done by purchase order and then also entered into QuickBooks. The city does not have a chart of accounts. Monthly bank reconciliations have not been completed for all utility accounts. The mayor can approve purchase up to $500. Purchases above $500 require council approval.

The third and fourth quarters of 2013 have not been filed. On March 11, 2014, the state Department of Labor verified that the City of Marshall is current on their Employment Security Contributions account.

Personnel System Comments
Marshall's workers' compensation insurance is through the Alaska Municipal League Joint Insurance Association for the period July 1, 2013 through to July 1, 2014. Proof of coverage is posted in the city office. The City of Marshall has a 40-page employee handbook that contains its personnel policy. The handbook was prepared by Alaska Municipal League Joint Insurance Association and is dated March 5, 2003. The ordinance adopting the handbook was not provided. However, the administrator refers to the handbook for all personnel related questions. The administrator also stated that the city is updating the personnel policy, changing some holidays and one employee's job title. The utility has written job descriptions for all positions. Copies were provided for the city clerk, alternate city clerk, bookkeeper, water treatment plant operator, landfill operator, and garbage truck driver. The utility has not adopted a written evaluation process, or a written hiring process; however, an unwritten hiring process is known and followed. According to this process, a vacant position is first posted for two to four weeks. Then a four council member hiring committee conducts interviews and checks references. The city personnel folders do not include I-9s, job applications, and letters of acceptance for every employee. Personnel folders that were shown contained W2s, timesheets, and copies of identification. The city has a 90-day probationary period with an evaluation at the end that is historically known, but this is not written policy. On-the-job training and additional training opportunities are provided as necessary. In December 2013, the bookkeeper attended a RUBA-sponsored QuickBooks training.
Organizational Management
Essential Indicators
The entity that owns the utility is known; the entity that will operate the utility is set.
The policy making body is active in policy making of the utility.
The policy making body enforces utility policy.
The utility has an adequately trained manager.
The utility has an adequately trained bookkeeper.
The utility has an adequately trained operator or operators.
The utility has adopted the necessary ordinances (or rules and regulations) necessary to give it the authority to operate.
Sustainable Indicators
The utility has adopted an organizational chart that reflects the current structure.
The policy making body meets as required.
The utility complies with the open meeting act for all meetings.
Organizational Management Comments
The City of Marshall owns the utility and the city council is the policy making body. The utility policy is not currently being enforced. When enforcement is performed, it is done by the operator going out and shutting off water to customers who have not paid. The operator has not responded to the mayor's contact attempts for a few months. During the two days that RUBA staff was in Marshall, the mayor made multiple phone calls to the operator and left messages. However, the operator did not respond. The mayor has been performing managerial duties since November 2012. The bookkeeper was hired in November 2013, has attended QuickBooks training, and is pursuing additional training. The operator has five and a half years' experience. However, all three of the operators' certifications (Water Distribution Provisional, Small Water System Treated, and Water Treatment Provisional) have not been renewed. The city's system type/class also has higher requirements than the operators have previously been able to obtain. The water treatment system is designated Class 1 and the water distribution system Class 2. The city has adopted ordinances that give it the authority to operate, in particular, the authority to turn customers' water off. The utility does not have an organizational chart. The policy making body meets the second Wednesday of each month. The city clerk posts meeting notices in the city office, the local store, and the post office, five days in advance.
Operation of Utility
Essential Indicators
The utility operator(s) are actively working towards necessary certification.
The utility has a preventative maintenance plan developed for the existing sanitation facilities.
Sustainable Indicators
The manager receives a monthly O&M report from the utility operator and routinely "spot checks" the facilities to see that the maintenance items are being completed.
The utility has a safety manual and holds safety meetings.
Utility facilities have not suffered any major problems/outages due to management issues that are unresolved.
The utility is operating at the level of service that was proposed.
The operator provides status reports to the manager on a routine basis.
The utility has completed and distributed its "Consumer Confidence Report".
The utility is not on the "Significant Non-Complier" (SNC) list.
The utility maintains an inventory control list.
The utility maintains a critical spare parts list.
Operation of Utility Comments
The operators' certifications have expired and have not attended necessary trainings, despite having been instructed to do so by the mayor. RUBA staff and the mayor went to the water treatment plant but could not get inside the building; therefore, it could not be determined if the utility has a preventative maintenance plan. Monthly operation and maintenance reports are not being conducted. The mayor cannot get into the building to spot check the facility. The utility does not have a safety manual or hold regular safety meetings. Several of the arctic boxes are not working. This has caused a disruption in service to the affected customers. It is the operator's responsibility to maintain the arctic boxes. This has caused the utility to operate below the level of service that was originally proposed. A Consumer Confidence Report (CCR) has not been posted. The city is not on the Significant Non-Complier (SNC) list dated January 2014. Since entry to the water treatment plant could not be gained, it could not be determined if the utility has an inventory control or critical spare parts list.

The Government is looking for new jobs for the Defence Force as the mission in Afghanistan draws to a close.
The last contingent of personnel to serve in Afghanistan landed back in the country yesterday. Just 27 staff, due back in May, remain in the Bamiyan Province.
But now the Government has to keep almost 9000 full time soldiers, sailors and airmen interested in the job and needs to find some replacement action overseas.
It is focusing on bolstering the number of Kiwis in the United Nations Peace Keeping Corps, beyond the current 15 troops.
"We've always had a very involved role with peace keeping and we're actually doing a review at the moment to see where that might take us in the future," Defence Minister Jonathan Coleman told TV ONE's Q A.
"But the UN have indicated that there will be increasing demand for peace keeping deployments."
And the new Army chief, Major General Dave Gawn, has already got some hotspots in his sights.
"There is certainly a significant area of concern in the Middle East and across the Levant into Africa and I think if we look at that area in particular there is certainly a lot of work in the future that the international community have to do," he told Q A.
Labour is also keen to see New Zealand push for more peace keeping roles.
"There's much that we could be doing as part of the United Nations not to exhaust our people but to get them the chance to use their skills in the field on something that is to the benefit of humanity," Defence spokesperson Phil Goff said.
New Zealand's bid for a seat on the UN's Security Council in 2015 is also proving a good incentive for the Government to pursue peace keeping opportunities.
If its intentions are to be taken seriously it will need to commit more than just its fair share of troops to international missions.
However, former associate Defence Minister and serving reservist, Heather Roy, is urging the Government not to lose sight of the military's main role.
"The challenges are going to be maintaining those combat roles and those operational roles," she said.
"It might be peace keeping but we still need to train people to be able to cope in those combat situations."
The Government's review of its UN commitments should be completed by the end of May.

Senate begins work on massive farm bill
WASHINGTON The Senate has begun laying the groundwork on a massive farm bill that would cut spending while also creating new subsidies for farmers.
The legislation the Senate Agriculture Committee is considering Tuesday makes concessions to Southern rice and peanut farmers, thanks to a new top Republican on the committee, Mississippi Sen. Thad Cochran. The bill eliminates $5 billion in annual subsidies called direct payments that are important to those Southern farmers but makes it easier for them to receive alternate subsidies if prices dip.
The Senate bill calls for a total of roughly $2.4 billion a year in cuts, while a House version to be considered Wednesday would save $4 billion out of about $100 billion annually. Those cuts include more than $600 million in yearly savings from across-the-board cuts that took effect this year.
Much of the savings in the House and Senate bills comes from eliminating the direct payments, which aren't tied to production or crop prices. Part of that savings would go toward deficit reduction, but the rest of the money would create new programs and raise subsidies for some crops while business is booming in the agricultural sector.
Republican Sen. Pat Roberts of Kansas, the top Republican on the committee in the last session of Congress, criticized the higher subsidies for Southern farmers, which are essentially a lower threshold for rice and peanut subsidies to kick in. Roberts said the new policy could guarantee that those farmers profits are average or above average.
"I simply don't know how to justify a program that pays producers more than the cost of production and essentially becomes nothing more than another income transfer program, not a risk management tool," Roberts said.
Under the House bill, authored by Rep. Frank Lucas, R-Okla., those subsidies for rice and peanut farmers could kick in even sooner. These "target price" programs allow farmers to receive subsidies if prices fall below a certain threshold.
The bill includes generous protections for other crops as well. Both bills would boost federally subsidized crop insurance and create a new program that covers smaller losses on planted crops before crop insurance kicks in, favoring Midwestern corn and soybean farmers who use crop insurance most often.
Sen. Debbie Stabenow, D-Mich., chairwoman of the Senate Agriculture Committee, said all of the changes are meant to make farm programs more efficient.
"Instead of subsidies that pay out every year even in good times, the bill creates risk management tools that support farmers when they are negatively impacted by weather disaster or market events beyond their control," she said.
House and Senate bills are further apart on domestic food aid. The Senate bill would cut $400 million out of almost $80 billion spent annually on food stamps, now known as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP. In an effort to appease conservatives, the House bill would cut $2 billion annually from the program and rewrite policy that allows some people who already receive benefits to automatically receive food stamps.
Balancing the cutbacks important to conservatives with maintaining the generous safety net that farmers have relied on for decades will be key to getting the bill passed before current farm programs expire Sept. 30.

Methadone, how long to come off with suboxone
Guess I am switching from the methadone forum! We have contacted a suboxone doctor and have an appt to start tomorrow. We meant with this doctor and after reading all the posts here I had many red flags go up. We told the doctor he is taking about 60mg a week and has been for the last two months.
the doctor we are going to says 3 to 6 months and no more than a year. He did blood tests so we had to wait a week on them and he offered to give him methadone for the week to keep his withdraws down! I said no way but wished I would have asked for something else to get him through the week. (he didn't offer anything else)
I called 4 other doctors and two of them said they would not let him take sub for more than a month. It was for short term detox only.
My sons big question is this.
He has went over a month without taking methadone and felt no better than he did the first day so what good would it do to take sub for a month because he would still be going through the methadone withdraws after the month and the sub detox would be done. Does it work like that? We did not meet with the doctors that said short term and now he is set on going to the long term doctor saying it would be ridiculous to take it for a month and then go back to methadone withdraws.
Is he right? I have read detoxing from methadone will take 6 months minimum so how can suboxone be used short term and work?
Thank you for any information you can give us,

Another question! If he would do the month detox and say two weeks later (after the month detox) he still is in methadone withdraw can he do another 3 week to a month detox? I know several people have said they did it more than once but I didn't know how close together the detoxes were.
Thanks again!
Just saw this posting: Is she saying there are withdraws even with the suboxone even after 11 days? I will try to follow her thread and see what happened.

11th day - finally the w/d's seem to be settling. Thank Christ! they were so bad - as anyone who's done the methadone detox, stepped off onto subutext, will know...
the often mentioned 'in the bones', incredible bone-aches & muscles spasms - methadone really does seem to be one of the worst damn thing... & they're still giving it to thousand/miliions(?) - anyway, i wont go on...

Hello There,
I have to say that when I was addicted to methadone, before IV heroin use, the withdrawals from it were so much worse than heroin. Heroin is water soluble, and methadone is fat soluble so it stay in the body longer giving it a longer half life. I don't see why methadone withdrawals would accure after being on suboxone for more than two weeks!! you might still have some fatigue and insomnia, but suboxone will also give you withdrawals if taken off it to suddenly. I feel I need to be prescribed to the suboxone for how bad my heroin use/addiction was. It fights my cravings, and I have already started to think about it and using less and less after only a month and I was shooting at least half a gram or more a day. If he or she is still having cravings I would suggest staying on the suboxone. Methadone is horrible in my opinion, but if there is nothing else to help with the initial withdrawal i would use it rather than going cold turkey. i know in the long run my doctor will gradually taper off my sub dose and then we'll see how I feel. i still have big problems with insomnia and fatigue however. Not sure if any of this helps, but I tried right!
Thanks for listening/reading!!!

TO HEAD AEROSPACE ASSOCIATIONA new job is literally waiting
in the wings for Marion Blakey when her term as FAA Administrator ends
next month. It was announced on Tuesday that Blakey will be the next
president and CEO of the Aerospace Industries Association, the trade
association representing the nation's manufacturers of aerospace
equipment. The appointment officially takes effect on Nov. 12. Blakey
succeeds the John Douglass, who has been president and CEO of AIA since
September 1998 and will remain with AIA through Dec. 31 to provide
counsel and ensure a smooth transition. More...
DISPUTES ARG/US ACCUSATIONSAs AVweb reported last
week, charter auditor ARG/US has taken online charter broker CharterX to
task for incorrect ARG/US audit ratings in some operator listings.
CharterX CEO Jim Betlyon said that charter operators are responsible for
the accuracy of their own information on the "online marketplace for the
buyers and sellers of air charter." This includes fleet types, staff and
charter audit ratings, he noted. In fact, the following disclaimer is
displayed on CharterX's Web pages: "ARG/US, Q-Star, IS-BAO and DoD
information supplied by the charter operator. CharterX makes no claims
as to the accuracy or veracity of this information." Betlyon said it
"sounds like ARG/US has more of an issue with operators," not CharterX.
TO UNVEIL MIDSIZE CONCEPT JET AT NBAA During an investor
conference call last Wednesday, Embraer President and CEO Frederico
Fleury Curado confirmed that his company will unveil a full-scale cabin
mock-up of a "concept aircraft" that would fill the gap between the
Phenom 300 light jet and super-midsize Legacy 600 at the NBAA Convention
later next month in Atlanta. Curado stressed that this is not an actual
aircraft program launch, but is instead "one of the last stages of
market analysis." At EAA AirVenture late last month, Embraer said it was
exploring two aircraft in this market segment a "mid-light" and
midsize jet based on the same platform. According to the U.S. Patent and
Trademark Office public database, Embraer has reserved the names Legacy
400 and 500, which could very well be the model names given to the two
planned aircraft. Curado said a launch decision for the midsize jets
"will be made sometime in the future, but not now." More...
SPEAKS ON FIRST COMMERCIAL 500 FLIGHTEclipse Aviation on
Monday told AVweb that "we are excited to see the aircraft being
used in the way we have always envisioned," referring to the first Part
135 charter flight of an Eclipse 500 last Friday. North American Jet
Charter flew two passengers round trip from Chicago to Baltimore on one
of the very light jets. Eclipse, which in 2005 won the Collier Trophy
for "the greatest achievement in aeronautics or astronautics in America"
for the small jet, congratulated North American Jet "for their historic
first commercial flight using the Eclipse 500," adding that the charter
operator "is the first of a large group of customers who will benefit
from this great aircraft." More...
DIRECTIVES WATCHGarmin GSM 85 servos are the target of a
notice of proposed rulemaking Airworthiness Directive that would require
you to inspect the GSM 85 servo gearbox for foreign object debris. If
debris is found, the unit would then go back to the manufacturer for
replacement. Jamming the gearbox could cause the aircraft's controls to
respond only to excessive manual force. Aircraft that may carry the GSM
85 include Cessna certain turbo-182 and 206 aircraft, Hawker Beechcraft
G36 and G58 models, Diamond DA40 and DA40F aircraft as well as Columbia
350 and 400 aircraft as well as Mooney M20M and M20R aircraft. Find more
information, here. The Mitsubishi MU-2 is the target of of an
Airworthiness Directive that requires a reduction in the maximum
deflection of the elevator nose-down trim to a 1-degree to 3-degree
range. Find the MU-2 AD, here. The Sikorsky S-92-A helicopter is the target
of an AD that requires borescope inspection of a specific part-numbered
tail rotor pitch change shaft and bearing assembly to prevent loss of
tailrotor control. Find it, here. More...
ENCOURAGES CVR USEThe FAA this month issued an Information
for Operators (InFO) to encourage use of cockpit voice recorders (CVRs)
during engine run-ups and certain ground functional tests. The idea here
is that if maintenance personnel experience an incident the CVR could be
used to preserve and explore audible disturbances and aid in any
subsequent investigation. The FAA says it has no intent to create a
regulation that would require operators to activate the CVR under
circumstances when a qualified crewmember has the intent of taking
flight. Similarly, the FAA says it will not require the CVR be made
accessible to the NTSB for "reasons other than post-incident or accident
investigation" in those instances when the aircraft is operating under
its own power and controlled by a qualified flight crewmember with the
intent of taking flight. More...
EXPECT MORE SECURITY REGS?NBAA warns that the TSA might this
year release new security programs in the form of "regulatory mandates
and advisory guidance" that target business aviation. The Department of
Homeland Security, along with the TSA, is reviewing new security
measures for general aviation, and GA security remains a top priority
for these security agencies, according to the association. NBAA and
other agencies will have an opportunity to provide feedback on any such
measures before they are finalized and aims to ensure that operators
receive ample notice to provide their own feedback before any rules
become final. More...
PICKS DOLANSKIAviall on Monday announced that Ed Dolanski,
formerly vice president of mission support for Raytheon's $4 billion
Network Centric Systems (NCS), will serve as senior vice president of
operations for Aviall. Dolanski has also served as vice president of
aftermarket businesses and customer support for Raytheon Aircraft.
Dolanski's new role at Aviall was previously held by Charley Kienzle,
who was promoted to senior vice president of business development and
Boeing integration for Aviall. "Both Ed and Charley have crucial roles,"
said Aviall President and COO Dan Kommenovich. Aviall markets and
distributes products for more than 225 manufacturers and offers
approximately one million catalog items from 39 service centers in North
America, Europe and Asia-Pacific. More...
AVIATION SELECTS HARRISONWynn Elliott will remain as
chairman and CEO of Elliott Aviation, but Mick Harrison will serve as
the company's new president and CEO. Harrison is the first non-family
member to hold the position in the company's 71-year history. He has
served as director of service facilities for all of Bombardier's
Canadair service centers and the authorized service facility program and
later transferred to Learjet Wichita, serving as regional vice president
when the Learjet and Challenger networks were combined. He holds a
commercial pilot certificate with instrument, multi-engine and glider

AVweb's "FBO of
the Week" ribbon goes to Medford Air Service at KMFR in Medford,
AVweb reader Jim Boeckl said the FBO staff took great
care of him after his airplane limped into their facility.
"Our engine broke flying near MFR, and we landed and taxied
to Medford Air Service trailing oil. We stepped out onto red carpet, and
soon found out that the engine needed overhauled. They put Champ in
their hangar for two months at no charge -- line manager Bobby Croll
said the FBO didn't want to benefit from our misfortune. The entire
staff was friendly and helpful, and the facility is immaculate. It is
clear Medford Air Service recognizes and promotes the miracle of flight,
even in its simplest form. This is not something I would have expected
from an executive flight center."

The X-20 Dyna-Soar ("Dynamic Soarer") was a United States Air Force (USAF) program to develop a spaceplane that could be used for a variety of military missions, including reconnaissance, bombing, space rescue, satellite maintenance, and sabotage of enemy satellites. The program ran from 24 October 1957–10 December 1963, cost US$660 million, and was canceled just after spacecraft construction had begun.
Other spacecraft under development at the time, such as Mercury or Vostok, were based on space capsules which returned on ballistic re-entry profiles. Dyna-Soar was much more like the much later Space Shuttle: it could not only be boosted and travel to distant targets at the speed of an intercontinental ballistic missile, but it was designed to glide to earth like an airplane under the control of the pilot. It could land at an airfield, rather than simply falling to earth and landing with a parachute. Dyna-Soar could also reach earth orbit, like Mercury or Gemini.
This made Dyna-Soar far more advanced in concept than the other human spaceflight missions of the period. It had military missions other than simply placing one or two men into space. It is one of the great "what if" projects of early spaceflight. Data collected during the X-20 program would prove useful in designing the Space Shuttle. The much larger Shuttle would also be boosted into orbit by large rockets for launch, and the final design would also pick delta wings for controlled landings, but it (and a similar Soviet design, Buran) would not fly until decades after the X-20 cancellation.
Essentially, these rocket engines would place the vehicle onto an exoatmospheric intercontinental ballistic missile-like trajectory and then fall away. However, when the vehicle reentered the atmosphere, instead of fully reentering, bleeding off its speed and landing, the vehicle would use its wings and some of its speed to generate lift and bounce the vehicle back into space again. This would repeat until the speed was low enough that the pilot of the vehicle would need to pick a landing spot and glide the vehicle to a landing. This use of hypersonic atmospheric lift meant that the vehicle could greatly extend its range over a ballistic trajectory using the same engines.
Such boost-glide systems could potentially strike at targets anywhere in the world (so called "antipodal bombers") at hypersonic speeds, be very difficult to intercept, and the aircraft itself could be small and lightly armed, compared to a typical heavy bomber. In addition, a boost-glide aircraft may be recoverable, acting as a manned bomber, or as an unmanned non-recoverable missile.
Following World War II, many German scientists were taken to the United States by the Central Intelligence Agency's "Operation Paperclip". Among them was Dr. Walter Dornberger, the former head of Germany's wartime rocket program, who had detailed knowledge of the Silbervogel project. Working for Bell, he attempted to create interest in a boost-glide system in the USAF, and elsewhere. This resulted in the USAF requesting a number of feasibility and design studies — carried out by Bell, Boeing, Convair, Douglas, Martin, North American, Republic, and Lockheed — for boost-glide vehicles during the early 1950s:
On 24 October 1957, the USAF Air Research and Development Command issued a proposal for a "Hypersonic Glide Rocket Weapon System" (Weapons System 464L): Dyna Soar. The proposal drew together the existing boost-glide proposals, as the USAF believed a single vehicle could be designed to carry out all the bombing and reconnaissance tasks intended for the separate studies, and act as successor to the X-15 research program. The Dyna-Soar program was to be conducted in three stages: a research vehicle (Dyna-Soar I), a reconnaissance vehicle (Dyna-Soar II, previously Brass Bell), and a vehicle that would add strategic bombing capability (Dyna-Soar III, previously Robo). The first glide tests for Dyna-Soar I were expected to be carried out in 1963, followed by powered flights, reaching Mach 18, the following year. A robotic glide missile was to be deployed in 1968, with the fully operational weapons system (Dyna-Soar III) expected to be deployed by 1974.
In March 1958, nine U.S. aerospace companies tendered for the Dyna-Soar contract. Of these, the field was narrowed to proposals from Bell and Boeing. Even though Bell had the advantage of six years' worth of design studies, the contract for the spaceplane was awarded to Boeing in June 1959 (by which time their original design had changed markedly and now closely resembled what Bell had submitted). In late 1961, the Titan III was eventually finalized as the launch vehicle. The Dyna-Soar was to be launched from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, Florida.
In April 1960, seven astronauts were secretly chosen for the Dyna-Soar program. Neil Armstrong and Bill Dana left the program in the summer of 1962. On September 19, 1962, Albert Crews was added to the Dyna-Soar program and the names of the six Dyna-Soar astronauts were announced to the public:
By the end of 1962, Dyna-Soar had been designated "X-20", the booster (to be used in the Dyna Soar I drop-tests) successfully fired, and the USAF had held an "unveiling" ceremony for the X-20 in Las Vegas.
Many different boosters were proposed to launch Dyna-Soar into orbit. The original USAF proposal suggested LOX/JP-4, fluorine-ammonia, fluorine-hydrazine, or RMI (X-15) engines. Boeing, the principal contractor, favored an Atlas-Centaur combination, but eventually the Air Force stipulated a Titan, as suggested by failed competitor Martin. However, the Titan I would not be powerful enough to launch the five-tonne X-20 into orbit.
The Titan II and Titan III boosters could launch Dyna-Soar into Earth orbit, as could the Saturn C-1 (later renamed the Saturn I), and all were proposed with various upper-stage and booster combinations. While the Titan IIIC was eventually chosen to send Dyna-Soar into space, the vacillations over the launch system delayed the project as it complicated planning.
The original intention for Dyna-Soar, outlined in the Weapons System 464L proposal, called for a project combining aeronautical research with weapons system development. Many questioned whether the USAF should have a manned space program, when that was the primary domain of NASA. However, it was frequently emphasized by the Air Force that, unlike the NASA programs, Dyna-Soar allowed for controlled re-entry, and this was where the main effort in the X-20 program was placed. On 19 January 1963 the Secretary of Defense, Robert McNamara, directed the Air Force to undertake a study to determine whether Gemini or Dyna-Soar was the more feasible approach to a space-based weapon system. In the middle of March 1963, after receiving the study, Secretary McNamara "stated that the Air Force had been placing too much emphasis on controlled re-entry when it did not have any real objectives for orbital flight". This was seen as a reversal of the Secretary's earlier position on the Dyna-Soar program. Dyna-Soar was also an expensive program that would not launch a manned mission until the mid-1960s at the earliest. This high cost and questionable usefulness made it hard for the Air Force to justify the program. Eventually, the X-20 Dyna-Soar program was canceled on December 10 1963.
The X-20 was to have been replaced by the Manned Orbiting Laboratory, a spin-off of Gemini, which was also eventually canceled.
Due to the changing requirements, various forms of the Dyna-Soar were designed but with all variants sharing the same basic shape and layout. A single pilot sat at the front, while an equipment bay was situated behind. This bay contained either data-collection equipment, weapons, reconnaissance equipment, or (in the X-20X "shuttle space vehicle") a four-man mid-deck.
After the equipment bay was the transition-stage rocket engine, which was used to maneuver the craft in orbit or fired during launch as part of an abort. This trans-stage would be jettisoned before descent into the atmosphere. While falling through the atmosphere an opaque heat shield would protect the window at the front of the craft. This would then be jettisoned after aerobraking so the pilot could see, and safely land.
A drawing in Space/Aeronautics magazine from before the project's cancellation depicts the craft dipping down into the atmosphere, skimming the surface, to change its orbital inclination. It would then fire its rocket to resume orbit. This would be a unique ability for a spacecraft, for the laws of celestial mechanics mean it is much more difficult for a rocket to do this once in orbit. Hence the Dyna-Soar could have had a military capacity of being launched into one orbit and rendezvousing with a satellite even if the target were to expend all its propellant in changing its orbit. Acceleration forces on the pilot, however, would be severe.
Unlike the later Space Shuttle, Dyna-Soar did not have wheels on its undercarriage as it was thought the rubber would burn during re-entry. Instead Goodyear developed retractable wire-brush skis made of the same René 41 alloy as the airframe.

The land has been occupied since the Bronze Age — it features ancient burial mounds which have been dated to this period. It has been used as common land by many generations over the centuries — particularly for grazing, turf-cutting and, during the 16th and 17th centuries, for iron workings.
Witley Common again proved useful during the first and second World Wars when the land was used by the army as a training camp (Witley Camp) with up to 20,000 soldiers based there at one point. In the late 1940s, it was gradually restored to its pre-war condition.
Today it is managed by the National Trust, to provide a mixture of habitats for wildlife, with birch, oak and pine woodland, as well as open heathland. Birdlife includes nightjars and nightingales
Built and managed by the National Trust, the centre features a countryside exhibition. The Witley Centre often hosts school groups and children's holiday activities. The area is populated by many rare species and has a broad range of deciduous and evergreen varieties of trees. The area is a water catchment for the upper reaches of the River Wey.

Tunis — The Tunisian Union of Agriculture and Fisheries (UTAP), Monday, said in a press statement that it supported the decision taken by Prime Minister Hamadi Jebali to form a government of technocrats.
It is "a reasonable initiative whose implementation requires the combined efforts of all, away from overbidding and narrow partisan interests," added the statement.
"The political situation in the country needs to be eased during this period and heated conflicts and debates between political parties have to be avoided," it indicated
UTAP also noted "the deterioration of the economic indicators and uncertain outlooks which require establishing the foundations of economic revival and improving the performance of the government and the contribution of major organisations in the country."
It called "on the political class to overcome political and partisan conflicts and place the country's security and stability above any other consideration."

Final Sentencing in Madison Gunshop Burglary
Madison, Wis. - John W. Vaudreuil, United States Attorney for the Western District of Wisconsin, announced that Antonio Parker, 20, Chicago, was sentenced today by U.S. District Judge Barbara B. Crabb to 40 months in prison, without the possibility of parole, for stealing 20 firearms from Grampa's Gun Shop, 1374 Williamson Street, Madison, on March 13, 2010. Parker pleaded guilty to this charge on April 28, 2011.
The owner of Grampa's Gun Shop placed a 911 call on March 13 after co-defendant Darren Richardson and a juvenile accomplice forcibly entered his business and forced him into a bathroom. Richardson bound the owner's ankles and wrists with duct tape and made verbal threats. Another co-defendant, Daniel Barlow, acted as the getaway driver, with Parker in the car as a passenger. Parker used his cell phone to communicate with Richardson and the juvenile accomplice while they were in Grampa's. Parker and Richardson also took most of the stolen guns back to Chicago, with the exception of those that were given to co-defendants for their help.
One of the stolen firearms has been recovered in Minnesota and seven have been recovered in the Chicago area.
On December 28, 2011, Richardson was sentenced to 46 months in prison. On January 13, 2011, Barlow was sentenced to 40 months in prison. Three juvenile accomplices have been charged in Dane County Circuit Court.
The charge against Parker was the result of an investigation conducted by the Madison Police Department and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. The prosecution of the case has been handled by Assistant U.S. Attorney Rita M. Rumbelow.

Adam Sandler and Rob Schneider appear in 18 different movies together.
After breaking out together on Saturday Night Live from 1990 to 1994, these two bosom buddies have become somewhat of a dynamic duo in the realm of fairly good to unquestionably awful comedies. Rob is well-known for his silly cameos in many of Adam's films, and I would assume that Adam does the same thing when appearing in Rob's movies (there has yet to be a Rob Schneider flick that I've cared to watch). In fact, in the past fifteen years, Schneider has only starred sans Sandler in TWO movies that I have even heard of - The Adventures of Pinocchio and Muppets From Space!
I bet you'd forgotten about most of these, but the Sandler/Schneider filmography includes all 18 of these films: The Waterboy (1996), Big Daddy (1998), Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo (1999), Little Nicky (2000), The Animal (2001), Mr. Deeds (2002), Eight Crazy Nights (2002), The Hot Chick (2002), 50 First Dates (2004), The Longest Yard (2005), Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo (2005), Grandma's Boy (2006), The Benchwarmers (2006), Click (2006), I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry (2007), You Don't Mess With The Zohan (2008), Bedtime Stories (2008), Grown Ups (2010).

Fist pump
The fist pump is a celebratory gesture in which a fist is raised before the torso and subsequently drawn down and nearer to the body in a vigorous, swift motion. The fist pump is sometimes carried out in parts of the Western Hemisphere, Europe, and Japan (where it is known as guts pose) to denote enthusiasm, exuberance, or success and may be accompanied by a similarly energetic exclamation or vociferation. The gesture may be executed once or in a rapid series.
Though they are notably conspicuous in sporting activities (especially upon the attainment of a goal or score), fist pumps are present in a wide range of other activities.
Credited for starting the "fist pump" in a dance setting in 1999 was Dimitry Michann in an MTV music video.
Ray Slater, producer on the Bobby Bones Show, set a world record fist pumping for 17 hours and 15 minutes, beating the old record by 15 minutes set by James Peterson.
At University of Michigan events where The Victors is played, the crowd normally claps along to the words, except during the word "Hail" where the action is a fist pump.

Teenage kicks
There are bits of my portfolio life which I obviously can't talk about. For instance, the time when I helped Sir Martin Sorrell structure a complex 10-year reverse buy-out of a research facility in Pyongyang. (As it happened, it was just someoneтАЩs front room).
ItтАЩs a shame really, because some of the most interesting projects are out of bounds. In the TV world, I once advised Simon Cowell to start a TV show in which he just laughed at some mentally deficient people, but I don't know if he followed my advice.
But there are bits I can talk about. Like the breakfast hosted by Albion last Thursday to discuss Gen Y and ask the question тАУ тАЬIs this the end of youthful rebellion ?тАЭ
Jesus, I f*cking hope not. Is there nothing worth fighting against these days ?
That just makes me so angry.
It reminds me of when Adam Lury, the greatest planner who ever lived, used to say that there was no point in doing research groups in Birmingham. He said the people there never hated or loved anything, they just went "yea well it's allright, innit" about everything you put in front of them.
I hoped the same wasn't true of Gen Y.
The morning started brilliantly when we met Eliza Robeiro – a spectacularly self-possessed and eloquent 17-year-old. She talked about fighting knife crime – something she set up a charity organisation to deal with, at age 13. Get that. This young woman was doing something amazing to change the world for the better, at an age when the rest of us were just figuring out why sex was going to dominate our lives for the next 60 years …
We met Robin Klein, a serial entrepreneur, who works with a lot of Gen-Y-ers. Robin claimed to be from Gen X – but I reckon that like me he scrapes into the bottom of the "Baby Boomer" group. And while I'm not normally a fan of bottom-scraping, I do think Boomer is better than X; the Boomers changed stuff and set agendas. Sure they screwed up massively, on a global scale, in a way which has probably f*cked the planet for ever – but hey, anyone can make a mistake. And unlike Gen X, they weren't content just to get the mortgage paid and buy too many iPods.
We met Emi Gal, an immensely impressive 23-year-old winner of this year's Seedcamp, something which Albion takes a key interest in.
He talked about his attitude to failure. He told us of one company he'd set up which "went successfully bankrupt" – a good joke which the VC guy then picked up and said was absolutely crucial. Gen Y doesn't mind failing. In "the Valley" apparently, they say – Fail fast, fail often.
We met Mike Butcher, editor of Techcrunch, who told us the now familiar provocation that Facebook is тАЬthe people you used to knowтАЭ and Twitter is тАЬthe people you want to know in the futureтАЭ. I always want to add тАУ тАЬand Linked-in is the unemployed people you wish you didn't knowтАЭ.
He also told us that journalists need to "get off the stage and into the crowd".
Sadly he didn't take his own advice, since it would have been great if he'd mingled among us. We could have patted him on the back and offered him a sticky bun.
If I had to sum up Gen Y, I'd say that they are massively into collaboration and doing stuff without waiting for permission.
They're also into failing.
I like that a lot. Experimenting without having the paralyzing fear of failure is at the heart of all true creativity.
But for me the most poky thought came from Robin, the guy with the grey hair.
He said he was always looking for the next disruption. That nothing was interesting unless it disrupted the market. This is a guy who invests money in exactly that attitude and makes a fortune doing it.
That's a belief I'd like to see a lot more of in Gen Y.
Not just wanting to make money for its own sake – I hope they're smart enough to get beyond that.
But the idea that you have to be willing to upset the applecart.
More than that, actually. You have to be actively looking for applecarts to tip over.
Which is another way of saying what Marlon Brando said in that old filmа when someone asked him тАЬWhat are you rebelling against ?тАЭ
And he replied тАЬWhat have you got ?тАЭ
