Not only can meditation help with stress, it may even boost your immune system and reduce inflammation. In fact, research has found that people who have been in a structured mindfulness program actually had fewer sick days compared to those who didn't meditate. Even when you're sick, meditation may actually help you feel better (and happier) in spite of lingering symptoms. And although meditation doesn't seem to help the elderly to the same extent, it can still help some.
Not sure how to get started or how to advance your practice? Check out HPRC's "A mindfulness meditation primer" and the MP3 audio files linked there.
Mindfulness meditation is a mind-body practice that focuses on awareness and acceptance of the present moment. It's a great tool to sharpen your concentration, deal with tough emotions such as anxiety and stress, and even give you physical benefits such as lowered blood pressure. Not sure how to do it? HPRC's "A mindfulness meditation primer" describes what mindfulness meditation is and how to go about it, with an mp3 audio that takes you through five minutes of guided practice to get you started.
Mindfulness can help you feel better equipped to handle difficult emotions. It's a process geared to help you tune into emotional experiences rather than try to escape from them. People can feel overcome by depression, anxiety, PTSD, addiction, or other mental health problems, which, ironically, can be exacerbated by trying to forget the cause. For example, a Warfighter afflicted with PTSD often relives difficult events through dreams, flashbacks, or unwanted memories, because he/she desperately wants to avoid experiencing those events. To illustrate this idea, right now, try NOT to think of weapons. You probably thought about them that much more.
Practicing mindfulness mediation means focusing on whatever you are experiencing in the present moment. It can be a structured meditation activity, but because mindfulness is about being present, you can purposefully engage in mindfulness anytime, anywhere. A common meditative approach is to focus on a physical experience such as your breathing, noticing where your attention wanders, and gently guiding it back to your breath; it allows you to experience sadness, anger, fear, and other unpleasant emotions, letting them pass without clinging to the idea of making them go away."
If you have ever "white-knuckled" your way through an amusement park ride (or ridden in a car with a driver you didn't trust), you may remember thinking, "When will this be over? Please let it be over…" This shows that focusing on how long something lasts can make it feel like an eternity. By engaging in mindfulness, you will feel less threatened by certain emotions, and you will be less likely to engage in problematic forms of escape (such as drinking, drugs, or simply spacing out).
When people experience difficult emotions, they often cope by engaging the language center of the brain, using words internally to wrestle with the experience. But when people have difficulty re-evaluating why they feel the way they do, this leads to a circular internal debate (such as "I shouldn't feel this way, but I do, but I shouldn't…"), which can be pointless and can actually cause more distress. Emotions can be dealt with not just through words but also by tapping into their physical elements (noticing how you feel in your body). When people engage in regular mindfulness practice, the parts of their brains tuned into physical sensations are activated while they experience hard emotions. And people who regularly have this part of their brain activated tend to be more emotionally steady.
Unfortunately, it's difficult to escape unwanted emotions. And more problems will probably pop up as you try to escape. But if you're willing to face hard emotions, letting them come and go like waves on a beach, then mindfulness practice can help you have a different experience. Tune in to HPRC for more mindfulness resources, and take advantage of the fact that mindfulness is everywhere now, whether part of your martial arts or yoga class or filling the self-help shelves of your local bookstore. Become more mindful, and you can feel better equipped to handle tough emotions; your mind and body will engage them more productively.
Pain is a sensation of both the body and the mind—and it's within your power to use strategies such as meditation to control the mental aspect to decrease the physical sensation of pain. Meditation can teach you to have a focused, calm mind, and rhythmic breathing. It may sound easy, but it requires practice. The payoffs can be improved well-being, reduced pain, and relaxation. Want to know more? Check out HPRC's new Pain Management section, where you can find strategies such as meditation that you can use on your own or with the help of a healthcare provider.
Researchers have long been interested in meditation and its potential benefits. A recent study found that regular meditation practice of 20 minutes a day has a lasting effect on how your brain processes emotions. This suggests that meditation could potentially help your brain handle stress, anxiety, and depression, and possibly other feelings. For those individuals dealing with relocation, deployment after-effects, chronic stress overload, recent family changes, or new training assignments, having a strategy to improve your resilience and help process the expected extra doses of emotions can be helpful.
For more information on meditation, visit the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine's meditation page. HPRC will be adding a new section on Mind-Body Strategies in the near future that will give you more resources, too—so check back for that.
When you're in pain, any relief is welcome. The good news is that researchers have found pain can be managed and alleviated, to a degree, by employing strategies that have you put your focus elsewhere. Meditation is one such strategy. A recent small study examined the experience of pain from fourteen experienced meditators and fourteen inexperienced participants. It turns out that the old adage is true: Practice makes perfect. The experienced meditators experienced pain to a lesser degree and got used to the pain more quickly. They also registered less anxiety than the unpracticed participants. The message? Practicing meditation regularly may improve how your brain handles pain.
For more information see the write-up on the University of Wisconsin's news page or the research article.

Meditation has been suggested as a possible strategy to benefit those with TBI, but currently there is not enough research on the ability of those affected by TBI to meditate or to benefit from meditation, and the few published studies report different results, so its effectiveness remains unknown. For more information, read HPRC's Overview, and for an even more in-depth analysis of the research, read our Research Summary on the topic.
A recent American Psychological Association press release focused on the overall effectiveness of brain training programs as explored in a review of research that appeared in the Journal of Developmental Psychology. It turns out that not only are these exercises ineffective for treating cognitive disorders such as ADHD, but their effectiveness on improving brain function and intelligence in healthy adults and children is minimal. In fact, the effects weren't comprehensive and didn't last long.
If you're looking to increase cognitive performance, mindfulness training such as meditation may be a good bet. Although mindfulness meditation is a relatively young field of study, so far studies indicate that regular practice has a positive effect on memory, attention, and mood regulation.
It's no news that stress can take a toll on your life and can affect your relationships—which may already be under a strain from repeated deployments and combat exposure. But unmanaged stress doesn't affect only you; it can create a ripple effect in families, which is why learning to effectively manage stress is so important. Deep breathing, mindfulness, meditation, guided imagery, and body scanning are just a few strategies that can help you relax, manage your stress, and help you live your life better—and everyone in the family can learn and benefit from them.

Digilog LA (Latin America), which started operations in 2008, was originally tasked to devise a process capable of identifying and weeding-out both fake applications and tenants alike. Following a six month trial, of the 1,500 cases evaluated using AVS (Advanced Validation Solution), there was only 1 case considered bad against the regular rate of 300, a staggering drop from the usual 20% claim rate to only 0.066%.
Following these staggering resul…
RCIB Managing Director Mike Joseph commented "Having been a customer of Digilog and witnessing the successful integration of their solution into RCIB and the significant improvements it has made to our fraud detection, it was a natural progression for us to take a stake in their business, enabling us to work closer together to further develop the product for the insurance industry and beyond".
RCIB's Tony Martin has joined the Digilog UK board an…
Selecter t/as Only Young Drivers (OYD) have worked in partnership with Digilog for over five years now using the Advanced Validation Screening (AVS) process to screen motor insurance applications for 17-25 year olds. Trained agents use the Digilog process and AVS techniques to assess a drivers attitude towards driving and offer highly competitive car insurance to responsible young drivers.
Assessing a policyholders attitude towards driving through the Digilog AVS Process has resulted in an overall reduction in claims for insurers and an improved loss ratio. This has helped Selecter to develop successful partnerships with several large UK insurers and create a unique proposition in the very challenging area of insurance for young drivers. The Digilog OYD approach also provides a viable alternative to 'telematics' by assessing the policyholders attitude towards driving before a policy is issued.
It has been an exciting five years and we look forward to a long and successful future using the Digilog AVS process to provide young drivers with competitive car insurance.
Leading UK Insurance Broker 'Right Choice' have begun using Digilog's 'Advanced Interviewing Techniques' and 'Voice Risk Analysis Software' in conjunction with their own in house risk assessment methods to screen insurance applications.
RCIB have experienced rapid growth within the motor insurance sector and have embraced the latest advanced methods to develop their business into the industry powerhouse it is today.

Digilog UK are proud to announce that a leading Motor Insurance Broker specialising in Taxi Insurance has begun using Digilog's AVS Process for screening motor insurance applications.
Taxi Insurance is regarded as a high risk area of motor insurance that presents a significant risk of losses from a minority of policyholders. Digilog's AVS process will help to bring benefits by reducing the risk posed by these minority of policyholders and improve results to the Insurer. This helps to benefit the majority of genuine customers by potential future premium reductions and increased capacity for the Broker. The objective of Digilog's AVS process is to quickly identify genuine insurance applications by accurately assessing risk, while 'weeding out' undesirable customers who can either be refused insurance or have their premium priced according to risk.
This represents the latest in a line of Insurance Brokers and Intermediaries to begin using Digilog's AVS process and is further evidence of the substantial benefits that AVS can bring to the underwriting arena.

Target-date mutual funds are fast becoming the most popular investment inside a 401(k) plan. But such target-date funds, or TDFs, aren't getting much love these days.
Indeed, at least one critic is blasting such funds for charging high fees. "I like target date funds but am concerned about current offerings being packaged for profit, rather than the good of the beneficiary," says Ronald Surz, president of Target Date Solutions, a pension and investing-management consulting firm.
(Watch Surz's webinar on the risks and rewards of target-date funds. And read the recent MarketWatch RetireMentor column "Target date funds drive up 401(k) fees.")
What's more, 401(k) fiduciaries—those folks charged with overseeing the funds in your 401(k) plan—apparently don't know what their target-date funds really hold and could benefit from improved transparency, according to a just-released paper. That paper is Raising the Bar on Target Date Due Diligence, a collaboration between Manning & Napier, an investment-management firm, and Strategic Insight, a company that provides clients with mutual-fund industry research.
Given the negative press about TDFs of late, we asked experts what you might consider if you have designs on investing in TDFs in your 401(k), or if you already own such funds. Here's what they had to say.
The luck of the draw
The sad reality about the TDFs is this: You likely don't have much say in the matter of fees. You might have a say in whether you invest in such funds. And you might have a say in how much you invest in such funds. But how much you pay in fees is a function, in large part, of which series of TDFs your employer chooses to offer you in your 401(k).
So, if you're lucky, your TDFs will come from those firms that tend to charge less. And if you're unlucky, your TDFs will come from those firms that tend to charge more. Those that tend to charge less than the average include, according to Morningstar, the Vanguard Target Retirement Series, where the asset-weighted expense ratio is 0.15%; Fidelity Freedom Index Series (0.19%); the TIAA-CREF Lifecycle Index Series (0.23%); Fidelity Freedom K Series (0.57%); and the TIAA-CREF Lifecycle Series (0.6%).
And those TDFs that tend to charge more than the average include the Legg Mason Target Retirement Series (1.47%); Franklin Templeton Retirement Series (1.36%); State Farm Lifepath Series (1.27%); and Invesco Balanced-Risk Retirement Series (1.19%).
For what it's worth, Morningstar reports that TDF fees are (thankfully) falling. The asset-weighted average expense ratio was 0.91% in 2012, down from 0.99% in 2011 and 1.04% in 2008. "We definitely recommend lower-fee TDFs, all other things being equal," said Josh Charlson, a funds-of-funds strategist at Morningstar. "Having lower fees provides an edge over time."
For his part, Surz recommends investing in low-cost TDFs from Vanguard, Fidelity, and T. Rowe Price, the latter of which has as an asset-weighted expense ratio of 0.79%. That makes T. Rowe Price the 11th least expensive of the 39 TDF series that Morningstar tracks. (Those three firms, by the way, control three-fourths of TDF assets, which now stand at $500 billion, according to Morningstar.)
"You can't be faulted for choosing one of the big three, because that's who everyone else is choosing," Surz said. "Common practice is good fiduciary practice."
If your employer doesn't offer low-cost TDFs, experts suggest you write to those charged with managing your employer's 401(k), the fiduciaries and the investment committee. Ask them to justify why they are using high-cost TDFs, and request that they consider adding low-cost TDFs to the investment menu. Consider asking your co-workers to write, as well. After all, not only is there safety in numbers, there's power.
"It would be worth raising that issue, especially if the (TDF) they have is on the more expensive side," said Charlson.
If you can't get your plan sponsor to add a low-cost TDF, Charlson said, you have to weigh the benefits of a high-cost TDF against creating a portfolio of potentially lower-cost funds that might be available in your plan. With a TDF, even a high-cost TDF, you get diversification, automatic rebalancing, and what's called a glide path. The glide path refers to how TDFs tend to reduce the percentage invested in equities the closer the fund gets to its target date, which presumably correlates with the year in which you might retire.
When building your portfolio, you are typically left to rebalancing on your own and managing your own glide path. Charlson speculated that if you have an expensive TDF in your plan, it's quite likely that other actively managed funds in your plan are expensive relative to industry averages as well. "So the best option would be to assemble a portfolio of index funds if those are available to you," Charlson said.

The third phase of Diet Doc's medically supervised diet plans encourage patients in Phoenix to continue their healthy eating plans filled with lots of lean meats, fruits and vegetables. During this stage, patients will remain in a state of ketosis wherein their body will burn excess fat at fuel and the patient will be able to lose weight fast. Incorporating natural weight loss supplements at this stage of the program will also increase the rate that the patient is able to lose weight fast because Diet Doc's supplements and diet pills are specially formulated to block sugar absorption and increase thyroid function to increase fat metabolism.
The final stage of Diet Doc's medically supervised diet plans are often referred to as the maintenance phase because clients were able to successfully able to lose weight fast and are now sustaining their natural weight loss. Patients will have worked closely with Diet Doc's certified nutritionists, learning the importance of consuming healthy foods like fruits and vegetables, to encourage natural weight loss and possibly increase their lifespan. During the maintenance phase, patients are encouraged to continuing consuming fruits and vegetables to maintain their weight for the future.
Diet Doc's medically supervised diet plans have successfully helped thousands of patients achieve their natural weight loss goals and are committed to helping many more during their own journey to a healthier, happier life. Whether or not eating more fruits and vegetables contribute to a longer life, Diet Doc understands that including these foods in medically supervised diet plans does leads to significant fat loss and helps to create a healthier figure.

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's skyhook has been captured in bronze for future generations of basketball fans.
Staples Center unveiled a nearly 16-foot-tall statue of the top scorer in NBA history Friday night, immortalizing Jabbar's famed hook shot alongside statues of fellow Los Angeles Lakers greats Magic Johnson and Jerry West.
The 65-year-old Abdul-Jabbar pronounced himself humbled and grateful during a ceremony attended by numerous NBA greats ranging from Johnson and West to Pat Riley and Elgin Baylor _ and even Lakers superfan Jack Nicholson.
"Having lived my life and had the experiences I've had, I can understand now what a man like Lou Gehrig means when he considers himself the luckiest man on the face of the earth," Abdul-Jabbar said.
Abdul-Jabbar is depicted in his signature goggles, wristbands and the standard 1980s short-shorts below his No. 33 jersey. The 7-foot-2 center pulled a braided cord to drop a curtain revealing the statue to hundreds of cheering fans, who gathered under threatening clouds for the ceremony.
"I'm glad we got here before the pigeons got to it," Abdul-Jabbar said with a smile.
By any measure, Abdul-Jabbar is among the most significant figures in basketball history. His 38,387 points are the most in NBA history, and he spent two decades in the league with the Milwaukee Bucks and the Lakers, winning a record six MVP awards while setting records at the time for games played, total minutes, field goals, blocked shots, defensive rebounds and fouls.
The former Lew Alcindor arrived at UCLA in 1965 from his native New York City's Power Memorial High School. He won three NCAA titles with coach John Wooden, who received special mention while Abdul-Jabbar thanked the biggest figures in his basketball life.
"You never understand how important these people are until they're not with you," Abdul-Jabbar said. "With coach Wooden, I understood immediately."
The No. 1 pick in the 1969 draft won an NBA title with Oscar Robertson and the Bucks, who traded him to Los Angeles in 1975. The Lakers didn't break through until Johnson arrived in 1979, immediately teaming up for the first of five championships in nine seasons with the advent of Showtime.
"Thank you for taking us on a ride with you," Johnson said. "It was all because of your great leadership."
Riley recalled his first conversation with Abdul-Jabbar after he became the Lakers' coach.
"He said, `Pat, you won't have to worry about me,'" Riley said. "He was great, and he has been there for us his whole career. He was our protector, and he was the one who carried us."
Abdul-Jabbar did much of his scoring with the famed shot depicted in his statue _ including the basket with which he passed Wilt Chamberlain to become the NBA's career scoring leader on April 5, 1984, in Las Vegas. Former Milwaukee radio play-by-play announcer Eddie Doucette attended the statue unveiling and recounted the night he coined the term "skyhook" while Abdul-Jabbar played for the Bucks.
Abdul-Jabbar also received praise from several speakers for his humanitarian work and dedication to education in his post-basketball life. He also has written books and worked on documentary films.

Anatomy of game-changer: 4th-and-16 connection defied odds in several ways
How likely was the Tajh Boyd-to-Nuk-Hopkins fourth-and-16 connection?
Football Study Hall recently did a breakdown of fourth down conversion attempts in college football last season, which only made up 322 of over 16,000 plays.
Just 27 teams attempted the fourth-down pass down by a touchdown or less.
Only 12 of the passes were of 15-plus yards.
And just four were completed – one, Clemson's, out of the Pistol formation.
Down 24-22, the Tigers started the would-be game-winning drive at their own 20 – Boyd targeted his top receiver twice for incompletions and then LSU's Sam Montgomery brought him down for a six-yard sack on third down.
Clemson timeout.
Hopkins had hauled in eight catches for 146 yards with two touchdowns already – he, LSU and most of the 68,027 on hand at the Georgia Dome had a feeling the Daniel product had another one coming his way.
"I knew I had it," said Hopkins. "I knew Tajh was either going to come to me or Brandon Ford. I looked at the film and Adam Humphries was running down the field wide-open so I was like, 'Dang, he was really coming (my) way from the get-go.'
"I knew I had to make a play."
And it didn't go to plan either.
"(LSU safety) Eric Reid was in the middle of the field," Hopkins said, "and it was a crossing route between me and Brandon Ford to kinda isolate the safety and the corner. I was supposed to break-in actually, but Eric Reid played the play great so I kinda made an adjustment to go around and Tajh threw it off his back foot."
But first, Boyd had to have time – Bayou Bengals linebacker Lamin Barrow blew past Tigers right guard Tyler Shatley on a blitz, but Rod McDowell, who lined-up behind Boyd in the Pistol, chipped Barrow to give his QB just enough time to throw.
"I was hoping he didn't throw it flat," Hopkins continued, "because I adjusted my route to go upfield and he put the ball in the air and I saw a glimpse of it. I didn't the see the ball all the way through because Eric was on top of me.
"I was just kinda hoping and timed my slide and it fell right in there. Couldn't ask for a more perfect ball."
The rest is history, as he went on to catch two more passes for 20 yards and draw a crucial pass interference call, before a Humphries' reception set the Tigers up inside the red zone for Chandler Catanzaro's 37-yard game-winner.
In Football Study Hall's research, four predictable factors were involved in fourth-down passes in 2012 – two trends of which Clemson bucked though.
Teams were mostly trailing, time and field position played a major part, completion percentages were lower than average and the majority operated out of the shotgun.
76 percent of fourth down passes came out of the shotgun, while Clemson's formation of choice (Pistol) accounted for 11 of 151 (7.3 percent).
Just 49.7 percent of all passes on fourth down were completed – 33.3 percent of 15-plus yard attempts – and only 43.7 percent resulted in conversions.

Rhinos rookies Andrew Hoxie, left, and Jamie Franks chat with fan Tom Crowley of Rochester at Canandaigua National Bank on Alexander Street last week.
- Filed Under
When the Rochester Rhinos were born in 1996, they were a soccer phenomenon - at least in North America.
They drew big crowds to Frontier Field, had charismatic players who fans knew and by 1998 and '99 when they started winning championships, people called them to form partnerships.
But as the years went on and their focus narrowed on building their own stadium, they stopped doing the little things to stay entrenched in Rochester's soccer community. Team officials estimate that in the late 1990s players and mascot, "Rex the Rhino," made more than 120 appearances annually. ...

The Kayak Chronicles ©
by Darren Caffery
June 2000
The paddling gang for this trip included my buddy Tom, my cousin Christopher and his friend Garrett. We launched from Shelter Cove in Toms River even though it required some sweet talking from me and the boys. The young & perky little lifeguard informed us there's an ordinance against launching kayaks from the beach when it's open to swimmers and wanted to make us pack up our kayaks and gear and launch from somewhere else. We were smooth though, and after a few minutes of assuring her we would launch far away from the bathers, were paddling away on the tides of the Barnegat Bay.
With the wind, sun and strength on our side, we paddled toward the eastern shore, with the Lavallette water tower as our guide.
We paddled a nice leisurely pace as we made our two mile trek across the open waters of the Barnegat Bay.
With no time constraints for the day, we stopped our kayaks at a number of places on the bay and just floated, enjoying every ray of sunshine that the day provided. We weren't in any real rush to get to our destination. The joy was in the journey.
In an attempt to cool off a bit, Garrett and Christopher decided to get out of their kayaks and take a swim but they soon found the water was rather shallow so they just simply waded next to their kayaks for a while. After a quick "cool off" they returned to their kayaks and continued to paddle across the bay.
On the way, while Christopher began practicing his transcendental paddling technique. (an ancient aquatic meditational practice) Tom, with his cooler strapped to the back of his yak, decided he couldn't wait any longer for lunch, and went into high speed paddling.
When we arrived at the beach at Lavallette we simply relaxed some more, had lunch and enjoyed the beautiful Summer day at the Jersey Shore. We later walked into town for some cold refreshing ice cream at the local ice cream parlor. After we finished our ice cream we launched back into the bay and made our way back to Shelter Cove.
This was one of those lazy days of Summer.

A surgeon has noted that bariatric surgery can help to improve cholesterol levels among the obese.
Audun Sigurdsson, a bariatric surgeon at the Hospital Group, said that the treatment can "dramatically improve high cholesterol, lipids in the blood, high blood pressure and sleep apnoea".
He noted that the surgery will help patients to lose around 30 per cent of their extra weight which will help to start the correction process in terms of their health.
The comments follow a study conducted by the private health group which found that unhealthy and harmful lifestyles are responsible for the nation's increasing waistlines.
In fact, one in ten adults is now so obese that their GP considers their weight to be "a serious risk to their health", the researchers noted.
David Ross, chief executive of the Hospital Group, suggested surgery as one way of reversing the trend.
"Bariatric surgery can change a person's life for the better giving them back their health and also their confidence," he said.

In any discussion on cybersecurity, there's at least one elephant in the room: The U.S. faces serious threats to national security, and, despite warnings, seems to not be making much progress toward doing something about it.
Congress' failure to pass cybersecurity legislation this year was seen by many as a spectacular example of the government's inability to move beyond partisan bickering for the benefit of the country. More recently, the Defense Department has reportedly fallen behind on mandated plans for setting up oversight and streamlining acquisition of cyber capabilities.
Against a backdrop of constant cyber threat rhetoric, it would seem like the government has yet to take any real action on cybersecurity. There's no shortage of calls to action – so what's the holdup?
Insiders say there are a number of reasons. Among them:
At DOD, cyberspace is still a relatively new domain of warfare, which means there's a lot of ground to cover as U.S. Cyber Command, its service components and other cyber-focused organizations become fully operational.
Not everyone is a change agent
"The roles and responsibilities and overarching understanding are still evolving. You're talking about a lot of moving parts, with new command structure, new doctrine and a new rapid-response acquisition process – and trying to build that out to a functioning state that everyone understands," said former Army CIO/G6 Lt. Gen. Jeff Sorenson, now partner and vice president at A.T. Kearney. "They're still practicing on the football field. The actual execution is going to take a little time."
Along with the acquisition plans, DOD also is charged with establishing and implementing new cyber oversight; according to Defense News. Behind-the-scenes concerns about adding bureaucracy are another reason the plans are delayed. One former DOD official pointed out that's it's necessary to have the right kind of leadership in place to negotiate those complexities.
"There are more processes and bureaucracies in the government than ever before. The size of DOD has increased because of the Global War on Terror. There are more checks and balances than ever," said Gary Winkler, former Army Program Executive Officer–Enterprise Information Systems and now founder and CEO of Cyber Solutions. "Not everyone in the government is a change agent. Who is it going to be to work through the processes and bureaucracies? It's hard to find a champion to institute that kind of change."
Layers of bureaucracy
Unfortunately, that's an issue that goes far beyond the walls of the Pentagon. Across the government, layers of bureaucracy stand as a barrier between rhetoric and real action. It also contributes to a lack of true understanding of the cyber problem at hand, according to one cybersecurity expert.
"There is a lack of thought leadership," said Richard Bejtlich, chief security officer at Mandiant. "Cybersecurity is not like building a bridge, where all you have to worry about are weather, earthquakes and other things you can model for. Cybersecurity involves an intelligent adversary who will figure out a way to attack your bridge in a way you never considered."
Bejtlich noted that too often, officials from across government focus on the wrong goals – or worse, have no real goals at all – in cybersecurity, which contributes to the gridlock inhibiting real action.
"If you ask what the objective of a national cybersecurity plan may be, nobody has an explicit answer. There are a lot of plans for coming up with a standard and being rated against it, like FISMA, but it doesn't say anything about overall effect on security," Bejtlich said. "It's easier to say, 'Here's the standard, are you compliant?' But there's no one metric you can look at and say, 'Wow, this is getting worse every year.' There's no way to quantitatively measure risk. But in Washington, there's comfort with auditing against the standard."
That institutional approach often misses the mark on some of the most critical threats, hindering true progress in cybersecurity. It also sets up expectations that may be unreasonable or inaccurate, sources said.
"This is extraordinarily complex issue to deal with. The timeline by which [lawmakers] were expecting results – in some cases 180 days – that was probably a bit too far," Sorenson said.
While the lack of action is disconcerting and further incenses an American public fed up with partisan bickering, it doesn't necessarily mean national security is that much more threatened, sources suggested. Despite the legislative malaise, there is a flurry of action behind the scenes endeavoring to better secure U.S. interests in cyberspace.
"To say that we're at more risk because [the plans are delayed], I don't think is accurate. Every day people are working this issue, working to solve the vulnerabilities and working to make the network more hardened and capable. There is tremendous work being done on the inside that's not being publicized," Sorenson said.

Might be posible that the Chinese would like to help us SOLVE some of our cybersecurity problems. They could be more interested in us giving our money to them legitimately, rather than watching us get ripped off by our own folks and endin' up too broke to buy more Made-in-China stuff ...... well, SOME of 'em maybe...
Humans do the cyber-attacking in all social spaces: federal gov't, local gov't, businesses, organizations. Some activity is criminal, some terrorism, some just "for fun". Counterfeiting and theft are also parts. This problem requires a strategic approach, not tactical ... and most gov't Leaders are tacticians as they got to the top by learning how to weave their careers thru the bureaucracy by not making waves, keeping their heads down, figuring out the best way to take that next career move, etc. They are inside-the-box organizational players, not outside-the-box thinkers: capable of looking at many different pieces and recognizing potential whole pictures. To thwart cyber attackers we need thinkers, not players.
What about cyber-usability? The Govt is also all-to-slow in adopting new, better, more-efficient, safer technology. Blackberry's are still the latest-greatest .. but only in the Govt.
Bascially because of "decision by committee" and useless bureaucracy the nation is at extreme risk. Great quotes from Government bureaucrats explaining how difficult is it to do anything. Maybe someone could visit China and see how they did it. They are prepared to Cyber attack at will, totally criple the nation....end of days senario here...planes falling out of the sky, no power, no water, train derailments, military ships floating dead in the water...but China will be totally protected from our counter attacks as they simply unplug from the internet and move to their self contained infrastructure.
The elephant in the room here is that behind every cyber attack is an attacker. There is a human element to cybersecurity that seems to be ignored with the focus exclusively on bits and bytes. Threats come from outside the enterprise and inside the enterprise and until the human risk elements are integrated into cybersecurity we can only have a partial solution at best.

That Kind of Woman stars Sophia Loren as an Italian girl, Kay, who enjoys a brief wartime romance with American paratrooper Red (Tab Hunter). But Kay is already the property of a suave millionaire (George Sanders) known only as "The Man." When next we see her, Kay is living Hollywood's concept of the life of a kept woman: luxurious apartment, limitless wardrobe, and an ever-so-slightly repentant facial expression. When Red reenters her life, she forsakes her wanton lifestyle -- only to lose her newfound love to enemy bullets. Essentially a remake of the World War I war-horse The Shopworn Angel, That Kind of Woman relies solely on Sophia Loren for its emotional punch; Tab Hunter is, after all, Tab Hunter. Watch for fleeting appearances by John Fiedler as a GI and Bea Arthur as a WAC. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

On February 25, 2013, Herman Ziemann V, age 28, of Joppa, Maryland pled guilty in the Circuit Court for Harford County in front of Judge Stephen Waldron to one count of Driving Under the Influence of Controlled Dangerous Substances Causing Life Threatening Injury and one count of Driving on a Revoked License and Privilege. The charges related to an accident which occurred on Interstate 95 on June 28, 2011, which caused the victim, Rebecca Welsh, to require surgery to amputate both of her legs just below her knee.
Witnesses reported to police that Ziemann was traveling at a high rate of speed on the right shoulder of Interstate 95 when he lost control of the vehicle and crossed over three lanes and striking the rear passenger side of Ms. Welsh's vehicle with the front driver's side of the vehicle he was operating. Ziemann's blood kit results showed he had Clonazepam metabolites, Methadone, and Cocaine metabolites at the time of the accident.
On the Driving Under the Influence of Controlled Dangerous Substances charge, Ziemann received the maximum sentence of two years of incarceration in the Division of Corrections and a $3000 fine. On the second charge of Driving on a Revoked License, Ziemann received a one year sentence, all of which was suspended, with 5 years of supervised probation. Judge Waldron also ordered Ziemann to pay a $1000 fine on that charge, to complete 1000 of community work service and substance abuse evaluation and treatment as directed, and to submit to random urinalysis as conditions of his probation.
The victim was satisfied by the sentence under the circumstances, but wished that the statutes allowed for a higher sentence.
State's Attorney Joe Cassilly thanked Assistant State's Attorney Alison Healy and the Maryland State Police investigators for their efforts on this case.

Recently divorced and pushing fifty years old, Clyde was initially lured to Costa Rica after hearing about a hot Tica escort named Vanessa.
The first trip he shares with Vanessa, along the Pacific coast is one of the most exciting experiences of his life.
Soon Clyde is coming back again and again to Costa Rica, and gets involved in a more serious relationship.
Cluess Cylde is an especially good read because it rings true. His experiences, although exciting are not all roses and wine. Along with the mistakes there are many distractions and while Clyde is clearly falling for the women of Costa Rica, he still sees the red flags and warning signs.
Clyde soon makes all the usual mistakes. For example, observe the classic RFM (request for money).
"My love! I am so glad you can help me. You can send the money by Western Union in San Jose. My full name is Maria Gonzales Calderon and my cedula # is 444 55 5 5. I use the name Vanessa when I work as an escort. I really would love to get out of this business and find a good man, a man like you. But I am just dreaming. Western Union will give you a confirmation number and when you get it please email me the number so I can get the money. With all the problems, I really need at least $ 300 so we don't have to move out on the street. I hope you can get that to me soon. I promise to make it up to you when you come visit me again. I hope you come see me again soon, I really miss you. Big Kisses and hugs, Vanessa/ Maria"
O'Brien, Thomas Ray (2013-05-01). Clueless Clyde in Costa Rica (Kindle Locations 657-663). Lovecostaricastyle.com. Kindle Edition.
Written by a real expat with more than seven years in Costa Rica, Thomas Ray O' Brien paints a picture of a person we all know. Cluesless Clyde is that guy sitting across the bar or even looking back in the mirror.
The book is a must read for anyone who thinks they could fall in love in Costa Rica, or just wants to be entertained by the mess that expat gringos can make of their lives in Latin America.

I don't believe Marciano was better than Moore. The age difference cannot be exaggerated. Moore was a marvel, and he was beating big heavyweights (like Valdes), but against the buzzsaw, he was just too old to hold up. He timing was a bit off as he tired. I think had Marciano met a younger Moore things might have been different.
Your ****ysis is sound and it tells me that you know your stuff.
Moore was interviewed (SI, '55) before the fight and his strategy against Marciano relied on two things that he illustrated at length and that he practiced in the bout. The first was the
. He did not believe that Marciano was capable of dealing with the jab and argued that Ezzard did not employ it enough. Ezzard "pushed" his jab. Marciano was "very deliberate"... "Everything's deliberate, see one punch, then another. Charles didn't jab that man."
Moore said plainly that he will jab hell out of him.
...The problem here was that Rocky
the jab. Before fighting Walcott Marciano decided that he had no answer for it except to just take it. And he did. By the Moore fight, An adjustment was made... Marciano weaved very low and when Moore jabbed, he got the top of Marciano's head. Moore was hoping to knock him off balance with the jab but I think that this failed because Marciano fought in a crouch and leaned forward. Trauma to the face, yes, but he wasn't in the position to be knocked off balance. Marciano relied very, very much on leverage -whether he was giving or taking shots without losing balance.
Both Cheerful Norman (Moore's trainer) and Archie believed that Rocky survived as champion because he had not been subjected to the "cumulative destruction of of a series of good blows." So Moore was going to blast him with combinations... now in retrospect, this seems unwise but Moore was also convinced -absolutely convinced that he himself was stronger than any heavyweight. He said "Nobody's been stronger than me in there. He might be bigger and heavier, but he ain't no stronger."
Now if you see the first round, you see Moore jabbing and when Marciano bores and burrows in, Moore meets him and tests him. Meanwhile, Marciano does what Marciano does. He pounds in good investments. That sweet counter right in round 2 gave him false confidence. No one beats Rocky in a war of attrition. No one. It took Moore a while to calculate that he is taking too much and that he is not stronger than Rocco, but by that time, he was worn out. You can see him fight smarter at the end, but he was tired and when he got bulled to the ropes he didn't have the gas to spin out. He tried to rest there but was getting sledge-hammered too much.
What should Moore have done?
He should have employed a strategem based on what he saw on film -not on prideful assumptions
. What was plain to see, was that Rocky was enormously strong and was able to take monstrous punishment. He was indeed deliberate, and Moore had that right, but instead of meeting him and trying to hurt him, he should have put in his own investment -points. That would have rendered Rocky unable to do his usual investment of pounding meat nonstop. If Moore formed a strategy around angles, strong countering, and mobility (or simple pivots, since his legs were old), it would have been a different fight. The counter right confirmed this. When he stuck in straight shots and countered and then reset distance he was looking good. That was how he got the kd. Moore got that one while backing up! When Marciano was allowed to get close, the fight turned 100% against Moore.

You believe that, but Moore did not!
Moore criticized Charles for trying to counter Marciano's left hook. "How you goin' to counter that hook? Man got stubby little arms not longer than that..." Moore also believed that Marciano's best shot was exactly that -a left hook. I am inclined to agree with him here.
That was why Moore was moving to his left. Also, that is the proper way to go according to most. You're intention is to slip the right and counter. The man is more off balance after throwing a right and then a jab or a hook, so you capitalize on that.

When Trevin Wax wrote in Baptist Press News back in July 2011 that "the pro-life movement is winning," he likely had no idea that Time magazine would one day agree with him. With the cover of its current issue declaring that "40 Years Ago, Abortion Rights Activists Won an Epic Victory with Roe v. Wade, They've Been Losing Ever Since," Kate Pickert backs up the claim by noting that 24 states have adopted more than 90 new restrictions on abortions just since 2010, and then adds,
These laws make it harder every year to exercise a right heralded as a crowning achievement of the 20th century women's movement. In addition to North Dakota, three other states — South Dakota, Mississippi and Arkansas — have just one surgical-abortion clinic in operation. The number of abortion providers nationwide shrank from 2,908 in 1982 to 1,793 in 2008, the latest year for which data is available.
Getting an abortion in America is, in some places, harder today than at any point since it became a constitutionally protected right 40 years ago this month.
She laments the success of pro-life activists in getting parental notification laws adopted along with waiting periods and counseling before an abortion can be performed. Funding of abortion under Medicaid has been eliminated in 30 states, and the shift in sentiment from pro-choice to pro-life among citizens is accelerating. She notes a study by Gallup that shows just 41 percent of Americans now consider themselves to be pro-choice while 50 percent call themselves pro-life. This is a tectonic shift from just eight years ago when those numbers were reversed. She also noted that pro-life activists are now young, white, female, and persuasive. As Lisa Miller wrote at The Washington Post, there is a "new vitality [in] the anti-abortion [pro-life] movement … the most visible, entrepreneurial and passionate advocates for the rights of the unborn … are women. More to the point: They are youngish Christian working mothers with children at home."
She contrasts them with the older generation of pro-life activists who have faded from the scene:

Training Philosophy
From professional athletes competing for world championships to kids on local sports teams, CATZ helps elevate everyone's game.
Here is how CATZ helps:
CHAOS Training™
A field of sport is a field of chaos. It is dynamic and continually changing as the relative position of the offense and defense and ball or puck constantly moves. An athlete is required to adjust on the fly, reacting to visual cues and verbal cues. Great athletes not only react to this dynamic situation, but learn to anticipate where the play is going and beat their opponent to the ball. CATZ works to lessen the reaction time by training the athlete to respond quickly to movement and sound.
Developing Athleticism
Athleticism is a combination of strength, power, coordination, flexibility, balance, agility and reactive ability. The athlete will run faster, jump higher, kick harder, throw further, cut quicker and hit harder if these attributes are properly addressed. Only an experienced CATZ coach has the ability to deliver the elements that develop athleticism. The CATZ coach, and his/her commitment to the youth athletes in the facility, is what makes CATZ truly unique.
Train Like Sport™
At CATZ, "Train like sport" is an important concept, and everything we do is aimed at improving performance in the competitive arena. This means that the training must simulate what will actually happen while the athlete is playing. Simply put, exercises need to be dynamic with gravity, ground reaction and momentum playing a major role. We also must utilize full body movements in all three planes of motion and focus on task-oriented exercises. We must react and respond to visual and audible cues with accuracy and speed. If we include all of these variables, we know we have a good start on a training program that will translate into enhanced performance. This method has not only proven to be extremely effective but also fun, safe and exciting which helps to keep athletes motivated to train consistently.
Train Movement, Not Muscle
To be an athlete, one must not only play a sport but also learn to develop athleticism. This can be achieved through proper movement training. In fact, faulty movement patterns as a result of the stress of competition can lead to injury. CATZ athletes learn a foundation of proper movement patters that allow them to transition to a higher level of training and build upon a foundation of strength and power.
The CATZ Advantage
Custom Training Programs
CATZ creates customized programs appropriate for each athlete's age, skill-level and sport.
Individual Attention
Our low athlete to coach ratio allows us to work individually with each athlete.
Trained and Certified Coaches
Our coaches are certified strength and conditioning specialists who have undergone rigorous training in the CATZ methodology.
Effective and Safe Training
All programs emphasize injury prevention and performance enhancement.
Guaranteed Results
We GUARANTEE that you will be 100% satisfied with the results of your CATZ training program. If you are not completely satisfied, we will refund your money. No fine print, no gimmicks.
The Five Levels of CATZ
The Five Levels of CATZ encourage the development of the complete athlete.
Advancing through the five levels of CATZ requires athletes to improve their speed, strength and agility; demonstrate solid decision-making ability in an environment that mimics sport; display strong leadership skills; and show a commitment to community service.
Every CATZ athlete is given a gray level shirt when they begin the program. Athletes are tested at set intervals to measure their improvement. By attaining the gold, athletes have achieved the highest level of greatness at CATZ.

Counter-Strike : Global Offensive , Man its been what 12 years?
Anyways I would love to get a chance to play.
Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS: GO) will expand upon the team-based action gameplay that it pioneered when it was launched 12 years ago.
Update: Winners have been announced! Congrats to all the winners!
Posted by Henley on Feb 23rd, 2012
Hello Modders and Modies. As you know yesterday I hinted at being able to win yourself access to the newest CS:GO beta and today is the day you find out how. This is going to be a fairly simple contest to give 15 keys to our community, the other 5 keys will be given out to the some of the more active people within ModDB (as judged by staff).
To enter all you need to do is impress the staff by writing a simple limerick, poem or short story about why you should be in the Counter-Strike: Global Offensive beta and if that is too difficult counter-strike in general will also suffice. Post your entries in the comment section below. You can enter as many times as you like, and the most creative and original entries (extra points for funny entries) will win. You have two days to enter, and winners will be notified by personal message on ModDB. If you do not claim the reward within a day we will just give it too another entrant. Take note, if you submit your entries in any other way we will ignore it so don't bother.
Best of luck!
We have our winners! Check your inbox soon for your beta key.
Here is a gamer named Manatee
Who had only one last plee
He can't aim for shit
and constantly rage quits
But all he wants is one key
ModDB: This kinda sums up my experiences with counter-strike over the years.
The keys are few,
The crew is wise,
A contest of English,
The noobs demise.
To play Global Offense,
With a free beta key,
Would be so intense,
Where else, but ModDB.
ModDB: Love it, especially how you rhymed ModDB with something.
people who play CS try for headshots
some people may claim they use aimbots
nothing is sadderwhen people cry "hacker!"
when people just like to play a lot
ModDB: I am sure it was all just skill! Like your mad rhymes.
Awpers, Awpers, everywhere
Will they see me?
I don't care
In B tunnels?
At long A?
Well placed frag grenade,
And they ragdoll away
ModDB: AWPers more like no-skillers... HA. I'm funny.
Open the door
Get on the floor
Please give me a key because I'm poor
ModDB: Lets hope this funds your archaeology event.
Bullets ablazing
Newbies a hating
Aim bot Aim bot they cry
but I'm just amazing
The sniper they fear
A scoping i steer
as the bullet leaves the chamber
Not a head is left near
ModDB: I dunno about you guys but twinnuke's new album is hella-tight!
roses are red
violets are blue
i hope this will have a proper promod
ModDB: You and me both sister!
For the first time on ModDB,
The Devs tried to make a fool of me,
Wasting my time,
To come up with rhymes,
Just for a damn beta key.
ModDB: I'm sorry alright... I just wanted to be with the cool kids.
A key to this game, I desire
And proof of this fact, you require?
With one single move
My fervor I'll prove
By lighting my crotch hair on fire!
ModDB: I am afraid to ask for pictures to confirm this, but I love your commitment!
24/7 born and raised
on dust 2 is where i spent
most of my days
poppin' off headshots
no scopin' these fools
gettin' called haxxor
like it's preschool
when a couple of t's
who are up to no good
started causing trouble
down in packaged goods
got in one little knife fight
and the admin got scared
says you going to csgo beta
you belong in there
ModDB: Shit just got real....
In 2000 it first began,
To four different games it would span,
With great mods and fun,It became number one,
The Counter Strike franchise change man.
One of these glad men was I,
Who, for Counter Strike: GO, would die,
But without a beta key,
No GO for me :(,
I'll make sure that key is all mine.
ModDB: You sir are a poet for the ages!!!
My girlfriend cried "You must come to bed!"
"Quit CS and I'll give you great head!"
I cried "Dear I can't yet!"
"I really must plant this!"
Guess I'll have to whack it instead!
ModDB: I was tempted to not pick this one, I cannot deny it is clever though!
"Invalid CD Key", Steam?
I swear! I´ve got it from ModDb!
Was it a dream?
Where is my CS:GO beta key!!?
Well, I still need my fix!
So what will it be?
It´s back to 1.6...Or wait for Half-life Three?
Damn it.
ModDB: Wait! The first key I sent you didn't work? I'm sorry here is another...
Registered today
Now im itching to play
Saw this contest
That sparked my interest
Oh to kill again
On my steam engine
Missing the thrills
Of a Counter strike kill
To fill this void
you have been employed
Now all I seeis this beta key...
ModDB: Welcome to the family of mad rhymes and modders! Have a key...
Twas the night before the beta,
And all through the map,
Not a CT was stirring,
Except John J. Fap,
When the terrorists rushed in,
Weapons held high,
John J. pulled a pin,
And watched them fly,
With one terrorist left,
And no where to run,
John J. said,"Now ain't this fun?"
His weapon a blazing,
The terrorist's balls they were grazing,
In the end he saved the day,
Old John J.,
So wake up CTs,
Don't be AFK.
ModDB: Don't you be AFK accepting this key!
Congrats to the winners and thanks to all those who entered. So many entries!
Counter-Strike : Global Offensive , Man its been what 12 years?
Anyways I would love to get a chance to play.
Well, I've been playing cs since 1997.
I was an Argentinian top player on my country and I really want to test this game.
I Must have a key.
I Want to try it out again and turn on me in a new top player of Global Offensive
I'm sipping on a glass of Iced Tea.
Please, oh please, give me a key.
lots of effort was put into this poem
CT in gunfight
AWP greets his Kevlar head
Ragequit from server
Neither the T's or CT's to use as my muse
It was now upon me to detonate a lyrical fuse.
Time was running out, 42 seconds on the clock.
No time to plan another route, I'll just have to use my glock.
In all these other writtings each has someting to bring
But for my key I'd go back and save Martin Luther King!
CS 1.6 and CS Source were great
but I know which key I want to find in my crate
Because you see, the CS GO key and me, well it ought to be my soulmate.
wa-oh, wa-ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
wa-oh, wa-ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Thar she blows,
noob haxin up in bombsite a
I dont care because gaben makes me wet... ALL DAY!
...sorry all my poems are perverted
Sorry about the double post, but my lyrical piece was split up into 2 parts for some reason, anyways here it in its complete form.
At first I was afraid, I was petrified.
I thought I wouldn't have CS GO right there by my side,
But then Mod DB opened up its gates
and declared that there would a song debate!
So I began right away with my pen in hand
I started by writting to CT command.
Only to find out that I had been banned
Never to find out the terrorist's demand.
Neither the T's or CT's to use as my muse

Here it goes. In the tune of part of your world from the little mermaid, because if you are going to make a song about counter strike, its gotta be from a completely unfitting category.
I'm going T

Planting and rushing and owning cts
De_Dust 2 going T, ready to own
Look at this post
Its full of lols
Gimme the beta ill own all the trolls

Part of the test
There once was a peacemaker named Bode
His hand were swift, defusing the code
But when he was flattered
By unwholesome chatter
He blew both the bomb and his load
I will tell you a story about a boy who had a dream. This young boy doesn't know to much about this world. He had a lot of failures and of course a lot of victories.
One day he met very nice girl, love at first sight. They were really good pair, his dream seemed to be completed ,but he discovered that his girlfriend is cheating him.
His dream was complete destroyed. When he was thinking about this, he couldn't stop crying. Yea, this boy is me. When i saw this contest, i felt hope. Hope for key,this key which let me stop from crying and will let me have fun.
Buddy u r hax have gewd aimbot
Playin in the basement gonna have a big lan some day
Got chip dip on yo face
Big mistake
Now you gotta get off your ******.
Ode to a Grecian Bombsite:
Who are these rushing to the bombsite?
To lower tunnels, O insane terrorist,
Lead'st thou with flashbangs thrown with might,
And weapons out, screaming, totally ******?
What a poor little target, hidden on dust2
Forgot to smoke mid, thou know you come
On Skype, they call out you, the few,
And, despair! They rotate! So brave!
Footsteps; Thou cannot ne'er turn back
Thou should've chosen to save!
O those boxes! Y'all flashed each other!
AWP in the back of site; one shot,
With a single crack, a miss, but he has another
A collateral! Two fall in the same plot!
In spectate: They cry foul!
Only one left, but he can't clutch
The dead ask: Did they stack the site?
A CT yells across advice, but not too much
"Thou got aced, I aced thou" – get trowned!
Thou totally got clobbered by my might!
This is the worst negative-karma-fest in the history of ModDB! I went through all pages to give everyone a +1 to their Karma. It seems we have a few trolls on hear willing to waste their time just to down vote everyone, except themselves. Anyways, Great work so far people! +1 for effort.
thumbs down
I require a key
for I can no longer frag CT's
since I took a one-deag to the knee.
I'm a tem player and .... I'M BEAASSSSST !
roses are red violets are blue im still waiting for counter strike 2
i am not funny but i want a key =(
In a unrelenting addiction
a gamer finds himself excited
he knew it must be fiction
but he was soon delighted
He was longing to play Cs:Go
but the days when by slow
when steam told him "No"
steam was now his foe
Hope was beginning to wane
he wanted to yell "boom headshot!"
but the gamer was in pain
his insides began to rot
Then this glorious opputunity arose
and he had to do everything possible
in order to avoid varicose
and spare all those responsible
After this unpleasent excursion
the equivalent of being dragged by a horse
the gamer upgraded his version
of counter strike source
im not very good at ryming or spelling but can i have a key please ill pay in bacon strips?
I have been supporting valve since the day i was born.
Half-life was the first game i ever played, then Counter-Srike came.
A mod that brought me a full new level of amusement.
In that year i was sure i wanted to be part of Valve Family.
Developing games, innovating and make history like they did.
And when a boy ask me for be a beta tester i won't say no.
So here i am on moddb asking for a chance to be atleast one game beta tester.
Ps: CS I S2 love you!
Pss:Don't karma rape me
Or Chuck Norris will get you!
My name is Mitch
I'm a weak begging bitch
I play the Tribes Ascend Beta and Super Monday night Combat
So why not continue my quest of beta testing trying my chance at
Counter Strike Global offensive
My stance will be very defensive
I'm not the best at this First Person Shooter game
But My skills aren't really too lame
I will find bugs
I will report thugs
And Play this game like an average person
So please let me on
During a gaming session in the frontiers
a familiar sound had appears
before he recognizes the sound
before he could turnaround
he was trolled cheers
Terrorists are red,
Counter-Terrorists are blue,
Sign me up please,
Or just head-shot this fool.
My leg moved in front of me, then back. My other leg followed.
I was running. The floor was wet mud, broken up by rock and dirt.
Mud was oozing out of my steps, as I was moving through the dense forest. I do not know how I got here, although I knew what I had to do.
Many others were trailing behind me, desperately trying to get to my position. However, they were not chasing me.
I caught a glimpse of the target, taunting me. It wanted to be caught.
A symbol had appeared in my sight and the many others behind but, by now they were by my side and some in front. The purpose of this had entered a single thread.
We all followed.
I had arrived, close to first. Although as more enter, first is fading to the bottom.
I fell.
Onto a character.
A single character.
The character was a.
In counter strike GO,
I will try go pro,
But I'll have to camp,
Until my legs cramp,
To see my frags grow.
Please hook it up with a key
I've been playing since I was like three
I just want to thrive
and be part of a starting five
Counter Strike
Global Offensive
Yesterday I got a girlfriend
So I don`t care anymore.
I started playing CS:S only 2 weeks ago, every game I get shotted so many times that I can't even understand what the F is going on.
Gimme a beta key so you can laugh while you see me get stomped in cs:go too, funniest thing ever.
Im a good guy!
give me the
chance to show you for a
beta key! Or Ill
Accept my defeat, Accept and wel-
come after you
have found a proper suiter.
With a scout rifle >:)
I hunt many terrorist in source.
Sorry my english bad.
just read lines
2,4,6, and 8 to see
how I really feel.
No one is going to win
New game new graphics
for the same demographics
but match-making games
and raking with fame
will really bring traffic!
Once upon a time,
I wouldnt use a dime
into a single shotting arcade
I was afraid
To waste that time
but counter-strike
took all my dimes
For some good time
I think of yesterday
and I'd do it again,
Campaigns are a pain
but counter-strike is insane
On their knee
They asked for a key
With their eyes
They could see
It wasnt going to be free
They named
Every gods to be blessed
So they could rain
With their brains
The rhymes
For the game
Regardless of how you guys vote this
I promise that it is a true story.
I was linked to this site for this article,
and the chance to get in to GO early.
I realized I needed to comment,
So, I chose to sign up begrudgingly.
I went to create a username,
It's one that I use, quite typically
But it turned out my handle was taken,
and this came as a great surprise to me.
I looked at the thief's profile,
and there was my own name for all to see...
It seems I had already been here?
I then tried to log in, successfully!
Now it seems that instead of a poem
About why you should listen to my plea
I instead was left wondering how
I'd misplaced a part of my memory.
'Cause I don't think I'd ever been here
And the fact that I had was quite scary.
Now I've spent the last little while
in thought of past visits to Mod DB
Regardless my priorities won out
I no longer care.. just want that darn key.
Yea happened to me to like 5 months ago, now I check on moddb every days for new mods, cause without mods games are nothing, I just forget to login cause like I said I check every days and lazy I am , lazy I am I dont login unless I got to comment :D
Never gonna eat chicken
Never gonna puke a pen
Never gonna make dinner, for you!
This piece of song was made for all you hard core gamers out there! We love you!
There once was a man with a gun nudged in between his butt cheeks. He had a small line attached to the trigger that was also tied to his mouth. He would run everywhere backwards with tears rolling in his eyes, people would shreek and yell as he past.
"WHY?" ,they would shout
Deep down inside he knew if he told, everyone would die.
LOL @ The good old "Congratulation You Won" (100 000th visitor)
Even if its fake
its not a piece of cake
To be fun
Wished I really won.
In 2000 it first began,
To four different games it would span,
With great mods and fun,
It became number one,
The Counter Strike franchise change man.
One of these glad men was I,
Who, for Counter Strike: GO, would die,
But without a beta key,
No GO for me :(,
I'll make sure that key is all mine.
*Sing in your head*
In the land of the living
There's a key
In the land of the living
To open me
In the land of the living
I will search no more,
Cos it's you that I've been looking for.
Im a hard core valve fan, and I deserve the key.
Css is a super realistic game and I love that about it.
Perhaps you can give the key to a camping noob, or soem 12 year old kid.
Or you can give it to me, I wont leak this great game or play the noob
card. Ill be perfect i'm no pro and honestly that makes me the perfect
target. Please!!!!!
Roses are red
Violets are blue
Give me beta key
Or I will hurt you
XD I tried
What map am I on this time?
If chickens returned to cs_italy, I'd give Gabe Newell a shiny new dime
Oh good, I found out we're on de_dust 1
The map where flashes are so constantly thrown out it burns like the sun
Seriously, not grabbing body armor should be a crime
To the good staff at Moddb
I sincerely hope I don't get a beta key
I rather let a person who knows how to mod CS
Give input to Valve so we can add in some zombies

I've Had Enough of Justin Bieber
They say that fame doesn't change your character, it reveals it. If that is true, we are learning that Justin Bieber is quite the little a-hole. While I am glad that my life at 19 was not lived out in front of the world, Bieber's actions exceed the kind of trouble most of us got in.

Editor, The Spotlight:
It seemed inevitable that the long brewing intra-party battle among town Democrats would spill into the public sphere. The difficult primary elections are over however, and the Bethlehem Democratic Committee is now an amalgamation of veteran as well as new talent and new ideas.
It is time for everyone to allow the dust to settle and to eschew any further infighting. It is time for graciousness and goodwill to emanate from all involved. A unified party will be a strengthened party. Let's all appreciate the dedicated community service that has come from so many over so many years and let's all work together to build an even better Bethlehem.

After reading countless letters promoting all the different recent primary candidates, I wonder about the writers. Besides advocating for their own candidate, I don't see many of them trying to improve the town's problems. For example, where are they on the current traffic situation, with the backups on CherryAve. from Kenwood to Delaware Aves., the insistence of people to turn left from Delaware to Kenwood going west, the absence of turning lanes at that intersection, the inability of drivers to access Bender Lane from Rt. 9W, and the condition of Kenwood, which is is now impassable during and after a heavy rain? Or how about the drinking water, which may be meeting standards, but tastes and smells unmistakably of chlorine? And how about the lack of sidewalks even in the new developments, which the town assured was going to change? Good government advocates --is the election of your candidate the end of the effort?

Flying from Tel Aviv
There are two major airports that provide flights from Tel Aviv. Sde Dov Airport facilitates mostly domestic flights. International flights through airberlin are handled by Tel Aviv Airport (TLV), which is also known as Ben Gurion Airport.
Tel Aviv Airport Information
Tel Aviv Airport is known for being one of the safest in the region. As it is a major international travel hub, it is equipped with over 100 check-in counters, four security check stations, and a shopping mall that is open to travelers and locals.
Passengers waiting for their flights can take the opportunity to sort out their banking needs, get a bite to eat, or visit cafés, clothing stores and many other retail outlets and restaurants.
Getting to the Airport in Tel Aviv
It is possible to take a train to Tel Aviv Airport, which arrives at terminal 3. If the train service is not available, you can also take a bus to Tel Aviv Airport aboard the Egged bus line. If you do not mind spending a little more, you can enjoy a fast and private ride by booking a taxi to Tel Aviv Airport.
Arriving in Munich
Find flight deals to Munich with airberlin and experience a city that welcomes the future while still remembering its past. Walk the streets among iconic historical buildings and charming local shops to get a taste of the city's inviting atmosphere.
First Time in Munich
Bicycle tours are a great way to get a feel for the city the first time you travel to Munich. Ride through winding medieval streets and sunny plazas, and admire the architecture that has stood there for centuries. Take a break along the way for refreshments at one of the cafes or beer gardens.
Your Munich
Many tourists book tickets to Munich to take part in Oktoberfest, the annual beer festival that runs between September and October. Oktoberfest offers carnival rides, ceremonial parades, and of course plenty of local brews to sample.
Making the Most of Your Munich Holiday
A city at the foot of the Alps, Munich is prone to rainfall and colder winters. The city stays cool from December through March, but will only see snowfall for a couple of weeks. Plan your flights to Munich between May and September to take advantage of the warmest months. You are likely to find cheap hotels in Munich in early spring.
