Gambling on the defense budget's "double whammy": How to avoid strip poker
- By Thomas E. RicksThomas E. Ricks covered the U.S. military for the Washington Post from 2000 through 2008. He can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Though smaller defense budgets are now as certain as death and taxes, the real question is "just how bad is it going to be?" According to Clark Murdock, who spoke at a recent panel hosted at CSIS, fewer dollars is only half the issue. The more significant, though less discussed, problem is how "weak" defense dollars have become due to internal cost growth. This "double whammy" of fewer and weaker dollars will make cuts feel twice as bad as they look on paper.
Current Operations and Maintenance (O&M) costs are projected to consume 80 percent of the budget by 2021, and the entire budget by 2039. Even though total force size increased only 3 percent over the last decade, personnel costs increased 90 percent. These projections are clearly unsustainable, but since the Defense Department can't do without people or operations, what should it do?
Mr. Murdock recommends re-conceptualizing the defense budgeting structure and sticking to it by asking "how much is affordable" instead of "how much is enough." The budget should have two major categories. The first category, "Institutional Support," should not exceed 30 percent of the total budget and would cover training, recruiting, facilities, and administration of the force. The other 70 percent should be allotted to the "Operational Force" that would directly support military operations for combatant commanders. Within the Operational Force allotment, 35-50 percent should be spent on common core capabilities (considered the musts), and the other 20-35 percent should be spent on strategic investment (considered the coulds).
Time will tell if the upcoming Quadrennial Defense Review adopts these recommendations, but the panel at CSIS brought to light two excellent points that can help minimize the gamble on this double whammy.
First, strategy development needs to become an iterative process. As it stands now, combatant commanders take strategic guidance and establish force requirements based on cost assumptions, but when their assumptions price out too high, we do not adjust strategy to make it affordable and determine where to accept more risk.
Second, military personnel compensation reform can't garner congressional support because the focus is mainly on cuts to current compensation. Todd Harrison of CSBA provided the freshest perspective I've seen by referring to his report on maximizing value from the entire military compensation system. Instead of just cutting, we need to adjust compensation to areas of cost-effective value to service members. Military personnel value certain benefits more than others, but not all benefits have the same relative government cost for perceived value. By measuring value and cost (as he did in his report) and spending accordingly, the Defense Department can still attract high quality personnel without consuming the entire budget.
As the next defense secretary confronts a lower top-line budget, with or without sequestration, internal cost growth must be addressed. Now may be the best time to re-conceptualize how defense dollars are allocated. Success in this process will create a sustainable budgeting structure that supports an affordable national security strategy executed by a high quality and well-compensated military force of all-volunteer Americans.

No. 4: How Richly Is the Company's Stock Valued?
It's wonderful to find a company whose earnings are growing exponentially. But the other side of the equation is the value the market pays for that growth and the prospect of future growth. There are several basic methods of determining a company's valuation: Price to earnings, price to sales, etc. These numbers can be easily found on Yahoo! and a slew of other Web sites. While price-to-earnings multiples, or P/E multiples, aren't the perfect gauge, investors need to consider how much they are paying for a stock.
No. 5: Who Are the Company's Competitors?
Companies don't operate in a vacuum. For every Coke, there's a Pepsi -- and a host of other competitors as well. The companies are constantly trying to take business from one another. Investors should know where their companies stack up: Does this company have the biggest market share in its industry? Is it a small but growing niche player in a competitive industry? Is it an industry dominated by one company or is it a fragmented industry where even the biggest player controls less than 10% of the market -- such as in the supermarket business? Also, investors should increasingly pay attention to foreign competition, where lower-cost competition can put pressure on profit margins.
No. 6: Who Runs the Company?
Unlike professional money managers, individual investors don't have the ability to drop by a company's headquarters and chat up the management before making an investment decision. However, that doesn't mean there aren't plenty of ways to find out about the leadership. Any company worth its salt will have a Web site that lists the senior managers, how long they have been with the company, their background and the company's history. If the company's executive suite has a rotating door, that may not reflect positively on the company's stability. Beyond the company line on the executive suite, investors should research articles about the executives -- often, trade publications from any given industry are useful in digging into a company.
Must Read: The 25 Best Companies to Work For
No. 7: How Clean Is the Company's Balance Sheet?
Serious-minded long-term investors need to be able to read over a company's balance sheet. Is the company saddled with a huge amount of debt compared with how much it earns? Checking out a company's earnings alone doesn't tell you if the company has borrowed to the moon to achieve those earnings. It's also useful to see how much the company is spending on research and development, how large its inventory levels are (if they are growing from last year, that may mean business is slowing down). This brings us to question No. 8.

1994-12-13 Miguel Angel Gonzalez w rtd 5 Calvin Grove, Tingley Coliseum, Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA - WBC
From Barry Hugman's History of Championship Boxing
1994-12-13 Miguel Angel Gonzalez w rtd 5 Calvin Grove, Tingley Coliseum, Alberquerque, New Mexico, USA - WBC. Referee: Joe Cortez. Moving up a weight class to challenge Gonzalez (134½), the veteran Grove (133½) soon found that he didn't have the power or the speed to operate at this level. Forced to trade punches as Gonzalez closed him down, Grove just couldn't hurt the champion and in the third he was penalised a point after the former was cut over left eye following a head clash. With Gonzalez accelerating through the fourth, cracking in solid hooks to head and body, the retreating Grove had his nose broken and experiencing breathing difficulties he was retired on his stool at the end of the fifth.

I have a category for events which is set up to display posts in reverse order so that the most upcoming events show first. I've already figured out how to display future posts, but now my concern is how to not show posts from the past on the home page once the events have already gone by?
For instance, there are a list of events, the top one being on August 25th. August 25th passes and that event/post will remain there but I want it to disappear so that the most upcoming event is always displayed first.
Any suggestions?
I would simply delete the events once they occur but I'd like to keep all of them for viewing on the category page. For this I'd simply like to create something to use in the events category loop I've made on the home page.

Originally written on NBA 24/7 365 | Last updated 2/11/13
Did you know Jeremy Lin has a dunk mix on Youtube? Neither did I. With a duration of a minute and 25 seconds, I'd say it's surprisingly long… but it goes all the way back to his collegiate career and is mostly composed of clips from summer league games and layup lines. Only one actual NBA dunk is included — the one he threw down against the Wizards during the height of Linsanity — and none of the jams are at all contested. What I'm getting at here is that Jeremy Lin almost never dunks, and when he does he's usually clear of any defender. So when he blocked a shot by Aaron Brooks, took the ball coast to coast, and threw one down over Francisco Garcia last night… it was like the mother of all sneaky dunks. Upon seeing this for the first time, I immediately began to consider some of the other great sneaky dunks of recent years. The first jam that came to mind was this one by Sasha Vujacic. Coincidentally, as you may have noticed, it was also over Francisco Garcia. Dunked on by Sasha Vujacic and Jeremy Lin? Damn, 'Cisco. Damn.

Heineken Cup Pool 6: Edinburgh beat Perpignan to stay alive
Last Updated: 12/01/14 5:47pm
David Denton was delighted with Edinburgh's performance as a great defensive display helped them on their way to a 27-16 victory over Perpignan.
Edinburgh preserved their slender hopes of remaining involved in Europe with a 27-16 win over Perpignan in Pool 6 of the Heineken Cup.
However, the absence of a four-try bonus point means that even an Amlin Challenge Cup spot is highly unlikely.
The Scottish outfit had tries from Tom Brown, Cornell Du Preez and Dougie Fife plus a 12-point contribution from skipper Greig Laidlaw, while Maxime Delonca touched down for Perpignan and Wales international James Hook - deployed at full-back on this occasion - landed three penalties and a conversion.
Edinburgh had the better of the opening exchanges without threatening the Perpignan line and reverted to the trusty boot of Laidlaw to open the scoring, the scrum-half slotting a straightforward penalty after the visitors failed to roll away after the tackle.
The hosts extended their lead five minutes later when Tom Brown pounced as the ball squirted out at the breakdown and sprinted in, leaving Laidlaw a simple conversion to hoist the tally into double figures.
Perpignan had not yet visited the home 22, but they opened their account when Hook booted a penalty from 35 metres. And they appeared to have rumbled over for a try after a close range lineout but the referee ruled out the score after consulting the television official.
A spell of sustained pressure eventually by the French outfit ended when Willem Nel hit Dan Leo with a thumping tackle and drove the Perpignan flanker backwards, but the momentum remained with the visitors and a late tackle by Jack Cuthbert handed Hook a simple three points.
From the restart, Edinburgh won a penalty but Laidlaw was off target with a poorly struck effort.
However, he atoned for that miss shortly before the break, stroking over his next attempt to see the home side into a 13-6 lead at half-time.
The visitors resumed strongly and the hosts were fortunate to escape without conceding after a Laidlaw clearance was charged down. However, the score eventually came courtesy of Hook, who hammered over a long-range penalty.
Perpignan failed to build on that score and Edinburgh were soon back on the offensive. The visitors lost hooker Guilhem Guirado to the sin bin and the hosts took immediate advantage of their numerical advantage, Fife feeding Du Preez who crashed through the final tackle to touch down.
Laidlaw's sweetly struck touchline conversion took the score to 20-9 with half an hour to play.
And the third try came shortly afterwards when Carl Bezuidenhout chipped ahead, Du Preez followed up with the lightest of touches and Fife profited from a fumble by Wandile Mjekevu to pick up and dive over. Laidlaw again added the extras.
That score in the 57th minutes sparked the chase for the bonus-point try. However, the hosts allowed their opponents to regain the initiative and a series of attacks culminated in a try for Delonca, with Hook adding the conversion from wide on the left.
With five minutes to play, home coach Alan Solomons had his final throw of the dice when he emptied his bench in pursuit of the fourth try but his efforts were to no avail.

ANN ARBOR, Mich., Dec. 15 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- One day Gisele Bigras was a college student finishing up another year of school. The next day, she was a cancer patient faced with having one of her fingers removed.
The diagnosis: epithelioid sarcoma in her middle finger. Bigras, 19, was in a state of shock and panic. But music brought her back.
"Music has always played a huge part in my life. Music therapy helped me focus on something else other than the traumatic events of the cancer diagnosis, and just forget for an hour or so, to just go into a different world for a little bit," Bigras says.
Bigras is one of many patients at the
"We find that patients are trying to cope with many things. They're trying to keep it all together, and sometimes if you give them a safe environment and permission to let go, a lot can come out through that," says Megan Gunnell, a music therapist at the U-M Comprehensive Cancer Center.
Music therapy can be as straightforward as listening to recorded or live music. It could mean playing a guitar, piano or even just shaking a tambourine. It could mean writing songs or discussing the meaning behind lyrics.
For Gisele Bigras, music therapy turned into an opportunity to write and record her own song. The song, "Back on the Ground," covers three stages: the happiness before cancer, the chaos of diagnosis and the realization afterward that she could move on.
"Listening to it helps me realize I'm coming out of this. Everything's fine and I can move on from here," Bigras says.

I think my major issue with this is that people go to university to learn to become the person they are, they find their own views. If we start banning things because people are discomforted by them, it's a slippery slope to only having one accepted viewpoint. I haven't seen the movie, but I highly doubt it's "The Birth of a Nation: Part Two". I think if you don't like something, by all means speak out against it and say why you find it wrong. I draw the line when it comes to surpressing what you dislike. As far as the safety issue goes, I find it to be overblown. Racist assholes are going to be racist assholes, this movie is not going to change that for better or worse. Especially on a progressive campus like U of M.

Critical Review by Christine Watson
SOURCE: A review of The Passion of Women, in West Coast Review of Books, Vol. 16, No. 1, January, 1991, pp. 31-2.
In the following review of The Passion of Women, Watson focuses on how multiple narrators and a clear prose style effectively contribute to the mystery and suspense of the story.
The main character in this witty, provocative novel [The Passion of Women] is a man who appears only briefly onstage. The story of his life is told to us indirectly, by the eight women who loved and were left by this man, and by the end of the book we feel we know him as well as any of them.
Which is to say, we probably don't really know him at all.
We first see this mysterious figure through the eyes of Emma, a young woman kidnapped on her wedding night by an escaped convict named Vincent. He's described next by Belinda, a prostitute who hides and falls in love with Tony, a man on the run who tells her he was shot by a bride he'd kidnapped. Still later, he appears as Frédéric, the lover of Frou-Frou, a starlet whose acting is outclassed by her skill as a manicurist.
In these, and in his five other appearances, several things about this mystery man appear constant. He is on the run from the law; he has been convicted of a crime he claims never to have committed; and he is, first and foremost, a dreamer and a lover of women. As a boy, he fantasized that he had gone back through time, searching for a way to save Joan of Arc. As a man, he seems to live out his fantasies, running from one woman to the next and recreating himself with every one. And dogging his heels wherever he goes is General Malignaud, who knows the truth about his conviction and will stop at nothing to track him down.
This novel is a kaleidoscope, always shifting, always drawing the reader into a new view. There is love here (in a wide assortment of guises) but there is also hate, fear, amusement, passion and virtually every other sort of emotion. Just as we think we have a grip on who this man is and what is going on, Japrisot deftly changes focus again, and we realize we are no closer to understanding than we were at the beginning. With his smooth prose and his careful construction, he draws us into his story as surely as his mystery man draws these women into his life. Read The Passion of Women, and experience its seductive charms yourself.

I teach a class at the University of Washington, and in that class I have the students create a few Entity Relationship Diagrams (ERDs). I'm still looking for a decent tool to do that, since the only ones I know that do a good job are WAY too expensive. Visio is about the best I've found for them, and one of the students sent me a link he found for learning and using Visio – very nice. Thanks, Rod!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1BYt3wmkgXE&feature=related By the way, Visio Team – it's a crime that I have to install all of Enterprise Architect just to get an ERD tool. Break it out of there into it's own SKU!
For an inexpensive modeling tool look at ModelRight (http://www.modelright.com). IMHO, it is much better than Visio for ERD. It is missing some of the features of the expensive high-end solutions but it is also missing their high-end price tag. There is also a free community edition that may offer enough for you class.

Originally written on Mets360.com | Last updated 4/22/13
It's the time of the year when everybody seeks out the guy who seems to be struggling the most, says he sucks, and then calls for him to be traded. The culprit this year: Ike Davis. Coming into Sunday's matchup with the Nationals, Davis owned a .161/.254/.321 slash line and was striking out in 28.6% of his plate appearances. Pretty ugly numbers, especially when you consider his slow start last season. This has lead to articles, such as Matt Meyers' at ESPN New York, claiming Davis as the poor man's Carlos Pena, and many comments on this site as well as others saying that he has been a disappointment, a chronically slow starter, not a part of the future, and needs to go. This kind of talk is silly and needs to stop. Now. Other than being a complete overreaction to a whopping two weeks worth of games played, it completely ignores the other factors that have hindered Davis' production. For exhibit A, I present his 36-game sample in 2011. Slow starter? I think not. A .302/.383/....

Prenatal Vitamin Forgetfulness
Preston Matthew 10.9.13 | 1:38am | 8lbs 4.5oz | 21in | Cesarian birth

Z&B, est. 2006.
♥Princess Belle, 3/08,
♥Lightning McQueen, 9/09,
♥ Mike Wazowski, 10/13,
♥Rainbow Coming 09/15!
I stopped taking mine a couple of months ago. I did take them religiously in the beginning. I eat a well rounded, home-cooked from scratch diet so I'm not too worried about that.
The pills make me gag, I rather keep lunch in rather than out lol.
I put an alarm on my phone to remind me to take them at the same time every day.
You are not alone! (I obvs. needed the reminder in the first place). I think if you eat healthy at this point you prob don't need to be worried. I am esp. concerned about iron. Also want to make sure I get enough calcium and omega 3.
Me+DH = DS (1) + DD (4)
I was constantly forgetting in my first and beginning of my second trimester, but have gotten better. I keep them out where I make my lunch and take them right after I finish now. Maybe that will help! :) Good luck!

Expecting Baby #2 - 1.16.16
I haven't taken prenatals since i was about 8 wks and started getting horribly sick. I even had the gummies and still couldn't handle them. I'd say ur fine, my dr says that i'm ok, so if ur taking them at all, ur doing better than i am!
Wife to Donnie (7/8/06) & SAHM to DSS Owen-10 yo, DS Levi-7 yo, DS Noah-6 yo, & our DD Cadence-15 mos!
Babies have been being born for millions of years before prenatals were invented (I am not saying they dont help, I try to take mine daily), but I do think we worry to much about such things. I think you should be okay, espcially this late in the game.

YIELD: Serves 2
In a large heavy skillet cook the bacon over the moderate heat, stirring, until it is crisp and transfer it to paper towels to drain. In the fat remaining in the skillet cook the garlic, stirring, until it is golden, add the kale and the water, and simmer the mixture, covered, for 10 minutes, or until the kale is wilted and tender. Simmer the mixture, uncovered, until most of the liquid is evaporated and stir in the bacon and salt and pepper to taste.

Great product! Great quality as usual and love the pattern. Goes well with the document boxes I got as well. January 6, 2015
Gorgeous and Functional! Well made, sturdy, and obviously lovely, these magazine files were exactly what I needed. They are a bit taller than I realized, and therefore didn't fit in the place I'd previously identified, but I actually love the size. June 5, 2014

Forgetting exactly how many minutes I'd been developing a roll of film for today I was reminded how I accidentally microwaved a left over sausage for too long and found out that sausages have the ability to explode. So far I'd say photography is a little more forgiving, but I never did like microwaves that much.
Personally I enjoy the photographic process as much as I enjoy the finished result, same with cooking. Explosions just make for surprise interestingness.

Toby Keith Trumpets 2013 Hammer Down Tour Dates
This summer, Toby Keith will lay down the hammer. The popular crooner has lined up 20 dates for his just-announced 2013 Hammer Down Tour, which will take off in June.
This summer, Toby Keith will lay down the hammer. The popular crooner has lined up 20 dates for his just-announced 2013 Hammer Down Tour, which will take off in June.
Toby Keith is a guy who knows how to take care of himself. The rugged 6'3" performer doesn't seem like one to back down from a fight, but when it comes to his personal security, evidently something has the star spooked enough to take steps to limit the people who have access to him. The 'I Like Girls That Drink Beer' singer has canceled all upcoming personal fan interactions at his concerts, citing his security.
Mirror, mirror on the wall, who are the highest paid country musicians of them all? That honor goes to country favorites Taylor Swift and Kenny Chesney. The superstars, along with Toby Keith, earned spots on the Forbes World's Highest-Paid Musicians of 2012 list. And you know that ain't a bad place to be.
Toby Keith serves up more than few drinks in his 'Hope on the Rocks' video -- he offers up slices of life as he plays bartender, listening to the life stories of regular people and lending a helping hand.
Toby Keith has offered up a second teaser for his upcoming 'Hope on the Rocks' music video -- a clip that is sure to tug at the heartstrings of those who can't resist a good old-fashioned sad country song.
Toby Keith's 'Hope on the Rocks' lyrics chipped away at the singer's mind for quite a while before he finally put them to paper last year. The tune is the latest single from Keith's album of the same name.
The long wait to see Toby Keith's 'Hope on the Rocks' video is just about over. But in case you are dying to learn more about the characters in the storied song, the country star has released a teaser video to introduce some of them to you.
Proud papa Toby Keith has welcomed his daughter, singer-songwriter Krystal Keith, into the fold as a recording artist on his Show Dog-Universal record label.
It shouldn't surprise anyone that when Toby Keith stopped by 'The Talk' on Tuesday (Nov. 14), his food focus was all about deep frying and alcohol. Of course, the country crooner carved out some time in his interview to chat about music, too.
The title track to Toby Keith's 'Hope on the Rocks' album shows the singer's genuine understanding of the nuanced relationships between bartenders and their regulars. But it's not just barkeeps that will relate to the ballad. Servers, liquor store clerks, the dry cleaner, radio DJs... anyone who provides a service and a set of open ears will appreciate his story.

Since I know a lot more about real estate than I do investing in stocks, I decided it was a great time to take advantage of the local housing market by using my Individual Retirement Account to invest in a rental home.
Currently inventory is high in Walla Walla County, with over 600 properties for sale. Interest rates are still at a record low, less than 4 percent for 30 year fixed mortgages and less than 3 percent for 15 year loans.
And sellers are eager to sell. According to the Walla Walla Multiple Listing Service, people who have sold their homes in the past two years have cut almost 4 percent on average off their original listed price.
According to the Washington Center for Real Estate Research, the median home price in Walla Walla County for 2003 was $130,000. In 2012 it's $179,000, which is a 37 percent overall increase despite a fall-off in prices in the wake of the 2008 national housing mortgage crisis. And since that decline, local prices have been inching back up to the $193,000 median high of 2007.
Compared to the unpredictability in the financial markets and concerns the Fed is going to hold down savings and bond interest rates for a few more years, diversifying your retirement account with real estate has become a good hedge against the cyclical changes in the stock market, economy and bank and government-based investments.
"... (R)eal estate investments hold the potential to protect against the loss of principal while generating better than market-rate returns through income production and capital gains," writes "Leverage Your IRA" author Matt Allen. And, he adds, both income and capital gains can flow back to IRAs as tax-deferred or tax-free, in the case of a Roth IRA.
If you have an IRA, all you have to do is roll it into a self-directed IRA. Employees who leave a company that sponsored a 401(k) plan can roll their money into a self-directed IRA, too.
A self-directed IRA allows the owner to move her own investments into just about anything "within" the IRA, not "cashed out." For example, you can invest in real estate in any state or country, raw land, rental and commercial properties, condos, mobile homes, boat slips, machinery, livestock, start a new business, buy mortgage notes, loan money earning interest, tax liens and tax deeds, joint ventures, LLCs, mortgages, franchises, and more.
All of these have to be handled strictly as investments through a company that specializes in self-directed IRAs and cannot be used personally, which means that anything bought with your IRA is owned by your IRA, not by you personally. You also cannot loan money to or be in a transaction with a parent or child, but you can be with a sibling or other friend or relative.
There are only three items that the IRS prohibits owners of self-directed IRAs from investing in: collectibles (stamps, coins, art, antiques, gems, and metals), insurance contracts and investments in shares of an S corporation. IRS defines S corporations as those "that elect to pass corporate income, losses, deductions and credit through to their shareholders for federal tax purposes.
Congress created IRA arrangements in 1974 that allowed owners to self-direct "nontraditional" assets. In traditional IRAs, taxes are deferred until the money is taken out of the account at retirement.
In contrast, Roth IRAs, which were created in 1998, allow the owner to pay the taxes in the year the account is opened, then grow the account tax free for the life of the account as long as it has been open at least five years. In 2001, 401(k)s were created for self-employed individuals; Roth 401(k)s were added in 2006.
So when I took the plunge a year ago to use my IRA money in something other than the stock market, I chose an IRA custodian who allows real estate investing with an IRA. Then I moved some of my Roth IRA retirement money into a self-directed IRA, went house hunting and bought a house below market value that needed updates.
Location was a key factor in choosing the house. Buying the worst house on the block is still a wise move for investors. Buying when everyone else is resting for the winter is also a good move.
The house I bought had two bedrooms with one bathroom and a full, unfinished basement. I hired a contractor to create a basement with three bedrooms, another full bathroom and a utility room with kitchenette.
All the money that I used to buy and renovate the house came out of my self-directed IRA. Although I don't pay federal taxes on the appreciation of the IRA through rental income or house value, I do pay taxes to the Washington Department of Revenue for rental income.
Using your self-directed IRA is a great way to take advantage of an appreciating local real estate market where rental rates are very high.
As always, the keys to success are to know the rules, consult with experts and take your time to understand and evaluate what you are doing.

Scott State Park Dedication
Where can I float or canoe on public streams in Kansas?
Most streams and rivers in Kansas are privately owned, requiring permission to access. The three navigable rivers — the Arkansas, Missouri, and Kansas — are open to the public, but one must have permission to access the rivers through private land. KDWP maintains a number of public access points to these rivers, as well as rivers that run through KDWP-managed wildlife areas. View the Rivers and Streams Access page for more information.

When you are using Internet Explorer on a Windows 2000 or later client and browsing to a Web site where the host header name is different from the NetBIOS name of the computer, Integrated Authentication may fail with an HTTP error 401.1, error 401.2, or error 401.3.
Note Internet Explorer clients that are using Windows NT 4 or Windows 95 or Windows 98 will not fail. Also, other authentication schemes will work.
Microsoft ASP.NET users may see an error message that is similar to the following:
Server Error in '<application name>' Application.
Login failed for user 'NT AUTHORITY\ANONYMOUS LOGON'.
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request.
Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.
Exception Details: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Login failed for user 'NT AUTHORITY\ANONYMOUS LOGON'.
During Kerberos authentication, a domain controller that is running Windows 2000 or Windows Server 2003 grants tickets based on the Server Principle Name (SPN) of the Internet Information Services (IIS) Web server. If the host header (Web site name) being requested differs from the NetBIOS name of the IIS 5.0 computer, Kerberos authentication will fail, causing 401.3 errors on the client.
Clients using Windows NT 4 or Windows 95 or Windows 98 succeed because they do not natively support Kerberos and thus use Windows NT Challenge/Response (NTLM) authentication.
A fresh install of Internet Information Services 5.0 with Integrated Authentication enabled will attempt to authenticate clients with Kerberos first. If a client does not support Kerberos, IIS will send that client an "Authenticate: NTLM" header, forcing it to authenticate using Windows NT Challenge/Response.

Excerpt from original article: (http://www.microsoft.com/smallbusiness/issues/technology/business_software/the_benefits_of_volume_licensing_discounts_and_more.mspx) by Jeff Wuorio
There are precious few slam dunks in the world of running a small business. But volume licensing of software products is one of the notable, if misunderstood, exceptions. In a universe where cost control and options are often few and far between, volume licensing offers a hard-to-beat combination of dollars saved and flexibility.
"Once small-business owners really come to understand what volume licensing is, it just makes all the sense in the world," says Eric Ligman, business development manager for Microsoft's small-business segment. The rub is in knowing precisely what volume licensing really means, says Ligman, who acknowledges that the term is not clearly understood among many. Volume licensing can be likened to bulk discount acquisitions, only the "bulk" isn't necessarily required. Rather than purchasing necessary software on an as-needed, retail basis, acquiring through volume licensing allows you to obtain licenses in the quantities you need — from as few as five to as many as several thousand.Some benefits:1) Cost savings2) License safety3) Easier Installation and management4) Better training and education5) Greater flexibility6) Greater protectionCommon misconceptions:1) "I'm too small" - Companies with as few as 2 PCs are already participating in MS Volume Licensing Programs!2) "It's an obligation" - Nope3) "The software software is different/limited" - Quite the opposite! Volume License software gives you MORE than Retail Box.4) "There is a difficult purchasing procedure" - No way!For full text version, read this article in it's entirety in the Microsoft Small Business Center: http://www.microsoft.com/smallbusiness/issues/technology/business_software/the_benefits_of_volume_licensing_discounts_and_more.mspxTo view an online replay of the "Understanding MS Licensing To Save Money" webinar presented by Eric Ligman: http://www.placeware.com/cc/lmevents/view?id=msft120904el&pw=XTZD26For additional money-saving tips on Volume Licensing, check out the MS Small Biz Shared Documents section of the Small Business Community site: http://www.mssmallbiz.com Thank you and have a wonderful day,Eric LigmanSmall Business Development Manager – U.S. Central Region

Originally written on RedSoxLife | Last updated 11/30/11
The Sox are getting a lot of heat over the length of time it took them to pick a manager -- two months, for the record (and counting, we must add, since the deal is not done).It took the St. Louis Cardinals nine days to replace the most venerable manager in the game. So perhaps some criticism of the process is justified. (St. Louis also had more time to think about it beforehand.)The story will be spun as, "We wanted the right fit," "We had to have a group meeting and all agree," or some such. That is probably true, but I think there's another story here. The Sox wanted to drag their feet -- at the very least, they saw no harm in dragging their feet.When you consider what the Sox have spent, what happened in September, and their apparent willingness to scapegoat almost everybody at the end of the season (though no more, we hope), it's not surprising that management would stall. At a couple of points, they said all signings hinge on what happens with David Ortiz, but they have not ...

Nottingham Forest v Wigan, Reds player in the spotlight: Simon Cox
Posted: February 28, 2014|
Simon Cox: The striker has not scored in his last six appearances – but is actually in good form at the City Ground and will hope to maintain that if he can win his place back in the starting line-up tomorrow.
With Henri Lansbury and Andy Reid both missing through injury, the Reds are without two of their main sources of goals.
But Cox has scored three goals in his last three appearances at home – playing a significant role in wins over Watford and Yeovil.
Cox netted twice against the Hornets in a 4-2 success and also bagged a decisive goal to restore Forest's lead against the Glovers, as they put up strong resistance, before ultimately being beaten 3-1 at the City Ground.

The deal, which is expected to be closed by the end of the third quarter, was necessary as the required financial commitment outpaced the Vought Aircraft Industries' ability to participate in the programme, says chief executive Elmer Doty.
"It's a positive step, one of many positive signs that Boeing has learned a very expensive lesson about outsourcing too much development work," says Richard Aboulafia, vice-president analysis at Teal Group.
"It's also a good indicator that the 787 supply base is still in a state of flux."
The move raises Boeing's investment in Vought's share of the 787 to over $1 billion, after the $560 million acquisition is added to the $422 million in advance payments already provided to the first-tier aerostructures supplier.
Vought will remain as a supplier on the 787 programme at a significantly scaled-back component level.
Vought's statement of work on the 787 programme includes the two primary aft fuselage barrels (sections 47 and 48) while the tailcone (section 48-aft) is outsourced to Korean Air's aerospace division in Busan, South Korea.
Aboulafia believes that the Vought acquisition is more about "production plan damage control" rather than "ramping up deliveries to new heights".
Since 90% plus of the 787 is built by other contractors, focusing on a second line is a small part of any scheme to increase production," he adds.

Since Shannon, Goon, and I have pretty much cleaned out our closets of Mets jerseys (at least for now, we all know there will be more later), I was thinking where can we go from here. Easy answer – who doesn't love bobbleheads?
Today we have the third 50th Anniversary bobblehead – Keith Hernandez (do I really have to use his last name?). Very good likeness and I appreciate that they have him in a fielding pose.

My Tamron 100-300( Pentax fit) does this slowly but takes several minutes to zoom from 100 to 300 and only when I walk with it in the down position when hanging the strap on my shoulder. Not an issue in normal shooting position. It is annoying and extends the length of the lens enough to making carrying awkward but I cannot think of any easy way to prevent this and still retain the need to alter the zoom.
I think more expensive zooms have a lock which can be engaged and then disengaged for zooming but
it was a "extra" that the cheaper zooms didn't have.
