Chat with Nigel Collins
Nigel Collins (R) will be working ESPN's "Friday Night Fights."
Welcome to SportsNation! On Friday, we'll have former Ring Magazine editor-in-chief Nigel Collins stopping by to chat about this weekend's fights.
After nearly 30 years with Ring, Collins now works with ESPN's "Friday Night Fights" crew. This week's main event is Adonis Stevenson vs. Noe Gonzalez in a 12-round, super middleweight bout (9 p.m. ET, ESPN2/ESPN3.com).
Collins can be found Tweeting during the fight: @ESPNFNF.
Send your questions now and join Collins Friday at 2:30 p.m. ET!

Buzzmaster (2:34 PM)
Nigel is here!
Greg (VA)
Best division right now?
Nigel Collins (2:35 PM)
There are a couple of them. The Junior Welterweight division. Easily the worst is the heavyweights. Now a lot of the guys in the lighter divisions moved up to the junior welterweight division. The featherweight is coming on as well.
Paul (Denver)
what does Adonis need to do to win tonight?
Nigel Collins (2:36 PM)
Well, this is sort of simplistic, but he needs to land his big punches. He's in ther with a guy who's a big puncher. The only time Adonis lost, he lost to a journeyman. He has to land his bombs before the other guy lands his.
Nigel Collins (2:36 PM)
In a fight between big punchers, the guy with the best chin usually wins.
Carl (CO)
with today's training and dieting, do you think a heavyweight from years gone by could compete with today's fighter?
Nigel Collins (2:37 PM)
Yes. Especially with the cream of the crop. Joe Louis fought some big guys and knocked them cold. The Klitchskos are big guys. Mike Tyson wasn't that big. That's not that long ago. The most important thing is knowing how to fight. The best from any era could compete today.
Ryan (San Diego)
How do you like Tweeting during fights?
Nigel Collins (2:37 PM)
I enjoy it because it puts me in close contact with the boxing fans and we can exchange ideas. The instant back and forth is a lot of fun.
Kevin (CT)
Noe....does he had a chance?
Nigel Collins (2:38 PM)
He does have a chance, because I think he's on a 14 fight winning streak. It's been a long time since he lost and I think Adonis' chin is not the best. But I'd still put my money on Adonis. It should be a fun fight.
Alan (TX)
Will we ever see Pacquiao-Mayweather?
Nigel Collins (2:39 PM)
I think the shelf life on that fight has expired. I don't think that's a bad thing. I don't think it would be a good fight. Just because you're the two best fighters in the world, doesn't mean it will be a good fight. I have a feeling that Mayweather would do the normal thing, back up and pop a shot. They're both a little past their peak.
Will (LA)
Who are some of the more overrated boxers in your mind?
Nigel Collins (2:40 PM)
That's a tough one.....Tyson Fury. Great name. He's getting a lot of publicity.
Larry (DC)
Nigel, it's not like Pacman and Floyd are two young chickens and they can afford to wait...by the time they fight will we even care? And if we care, will we get anywhere near the kind of fight we will hype it to be?
Nigel Collins (2:41 PM)
I think that it's too late for it to be a great fight. Frankly, I'm bored of hearing about it.
Jeff (RI)
Will we see an American heavyweight do well in the next 10 years?
Nigel Collins (2:42 PM)
Yes. The Klitschko's aren't going to fight forever. Vitali is 40 and he's got a political career ahead of them. Wladimir is 35. What they do they do well, it's just not very exciting.
Evan (FL)
Does Stevenson's experience help him tonight?
Nigel Collins (2:42 PM)
I think even though he's had fewer fights, he's fought better opposition. He's been fighting better fighters since his lost. He's had been fighters than Gonzalez has.
Peter (DE)
How do you like doing TV now as opposed to magazine work?
Nigel Collins (2:43 PM)
TV work is always fun. It's sort of a sink or swim situation, whereas you can always go back and rewrite your story. TV pushes you to be on your toes.
Xavior Williams (Highland Sprins, Va)
Do you think Mayweather and Pacquio will ever fight and do think Mayweather is the one to blame for them not fighting yet?
Nigel Collins (2:44 PM)
I think the two promoters are to blame, equally. Both of them can generate huge amounts of money fighting other people. The jackpot they can get from fighting other people are huge. Fighters don't think that way, but promoters do.
Sam (Boston)
Best pound for pound fighte rin your mind?
Nigel Collins (2:45 PM)
It changes after every fight Pacquiao and Mayweather have. Right now it's Mayweather, but if he doesn't look good the next time out and Pacquiao does, it will change. You're only as good as your last fight.
Nick (DE)
What are your predictions for this weekends three cards?
Nigel Collins (2:47 PM)
Jermain Taylor gets another easy win. But I think he's in trouble when he fights a real opponent. I think Abner is a special fighter. Morel is a good boxer, he's hard to fight against, but I don't see that spart of greatness. But I do in Abner. He's someone we'll enjoy for a while.
Dave (NJ)
What fights are you looking forward to?
Nigel Collins (2:49 PM)
I'm looking forward to the rematch of Berto and Ortiz because the first fight was really a great fight. I'm interested in Hopkins and Dawson. Does Bernard have one great performance left? It's very intriguing, though might not be a great fight. I'm looking forward to the Pacquiao-Bradley fight. It will be more competitive than Mayweather and Cotto.

What's the deal with my Heart Rate?
Home › Triathlon Forum › Triathlon Discussions › What's the deal with my Heart Rate?
This topic contains 5 replies, has 5 voices, and was last updated by hamlet_cat 5 years ago.
April 10, 2011 at 1:41 pm #17180
Two weeks ago what started out I thought as allergies turned into a full fledge cold in both my head and chest. The first week was all in my head so I took a 3 days off then ran and biked over the weekend. I had read that working out with a cold is OK as long as the symptoms were above the neck. The second week the damn thing took hold in y chest and I was down and out from Weds-Sun, but never had a fever. So after taking another 9 whole days off I ran on Thurs, biked on Friday, and then yesterday ran a 10K race I had committed to with my daughter and her boyfriend. BTW, I'm 50 years old, and training for White Lake Half Iron which is in 4 weeks, and my training has been going well up until now.
So here's the deal… my run Thursday, I just trying to get back into it after being sick, was on a route I run often and my HR was much higher than normal at a much reduced pace. Usually average low 140's at 8:30 pace, and avg 151 at 9:06 pace. On Friday I did a 28 mile bike ride again not trying to force the pace. I average 18.4 mph with an avg HR of 161 which was a ton higher than normal. A couple weeks ago I rode 50 miles at the same average speed with an avg HR of 134. Then yesterday I ran the 10K race at 7:49 pace and my avg HR was 167, again much higher than I have ever recorded. In fact my max HR was 186. I've been tested twice in a lab environment and my max HR was tested to be 178.
Any thoughts on what's going on? Did my illness mess with my HR? Am I trying to do too much too fast? I've even considered that my HRM is throwing out bogus numbers. I've been using a HRM for 3 years and have never experienced this before.
Thanks for your comments, AceApril 10, 2011 at 3:17 pm #169318
Yes, your sickness, time off, and maybe still being sick/repairing is why you HR was/is high. You should see things "normalize" within the next few days/a week (if you truly are better).April 10, 2011 at 11:47 pm #169322
I wouldn't put a lot of stock in the max numbers unless it held on to that number for a few minutes. For 4 years my max HR on the bike was 180. Now it recorded over 200 in 3 different rides. Each ride it was a steep peak to get there, then it came back down, which tell me the HR monitor screwed up.
As for the avg HR being higher, being sick, change in temp outside (warmer now), and not sleeping as well (due to being sick) can all make that go up.April 10, 2011 at 11:53 pm #169324
While you may feel better enough to run, your system may still be suffering the effects of being ill. +1 to VJ…you made need some more time to recover.April 11, 2011 at 11:21 am #169329
Thanks for the feedback guys. Long bike ride yesterday and things appear to be a bit more normal.April 11, 2011 at 8:26 pm #169360
Yes, illness does affect HR and also, overtraining can cause your immune system to crash. You have to be careful how you manage these things. You might be ok as long as you watch the intensity. Just keep an eye on it.

StubHub Partners With IMG College, Paciolan And Nebraska Athletics As Official Fan-to-Fan Ticket Marketplace
Nebraska Cornhuskers events. StubHub will be the Official Fan-to-Fan Ticket Marketplace of Nebraska Athletics. Backed by StubHub's FanProtect Guarantee, each ticket transaction will be between fans and managed by StubHub. The new online ticket marketplace partnership was negotiated by IMG College, the multimedia rights partner for Nebraska Athletics, along with StubHub. "As the ticket marketplace continues to evolve, we are pleased to join with the leaders in the industry for this additional service at Nebraska," said University of Nebraska Director of Athletics, Shawn Eichorst. "StubHub and Paciolan are able to provide a safe, guaranteed secondary marketplace for our fans to buy and sell tickets, which will better protect our fans from counterfeit ticket issues at our venues."StubHub and Paciolan collaborate on many collegiate partnerships; bringing StubHub's NCAA integration total to 26, and University of Nebraska will mark StubHub's fifth Big Ten integrated partnership. Thanks to Paciolan's leading software integration, whenever a fan purchases tickets online, they re-issue a completely new barcode, cancelling the old barcode and marking a seamless exchange of tickets. Combined with StubHub's FanProtect Guarantee, this product integration presents Huskers fans with complete protection from fraud and a stress-free purchasing process. "We are thrilled to expand our successful partnerships with Paciolan and IMG and deliver the StubHub service to Nebraska fans," said Greg Ivry, Business Development Director at StubHub. "We look forward to providing Huskers fans with more choice, flexibility, and security when they purchase tickets on the secondary market." Kicking off the 2013 athletic season, StubHub marketing assets will be highly visible across football and basketball properties for the university, including radio assets for football, in venue digital signs at Memorial Stadium, courtside at Bob Devaney Sports Center and Pinnacle Bank Arena, in-game features, and prominent online placements on huskers.com, amongst other assets. "We are very excited to partner with StubHub to offer Nebraska fans an integrated ticket resale solution," said Dave Butler, CEO of Paciolan. "Not only does this allow Nebraska fans to conveniently buy great seats and receive them digitally, but it also provides an added benefit for Cornhusker season ticket holders which is a great retention incentive."

Topic: Mini Heroes / Bug Report
Using a template of any type when there is one in your inventory and one in your storage will result in BOTH templates of that type to be used. Im assuming it takes 1 from both available storages which is…bad, I'm not even sure if this can be avoided by having 2 or more of the template in one storage as opposed to split between the two because I have had all of my templates consumed due to this glitch a few times. Once refreshing one of the two templates appears back in my inventory, but again when i have tried to use one it has used a second ._. is this just a graphical bug?

I speak English, Swedish and Finnish + a little bit of Russian, so feel free to talk to me! c:
I'm 16yo girl from Finland. I am currently a student in Sixth form, starting my second year this autumn! I've had this DA account since 2011 or 2010, but recently I deleted most of my older works, even though I left some of my own favourite pieces there for myself to remember and for you guys to know hoe I have developed!
I draw mostly horses - I used to draw a LOT of cats, dogs and anthros (yeah, it was kind of a big thing back then ...) - but nowadays I concentrate on horses and people. I draw with three different programs; mainly I use Krita and sometimes I also use Gimp and FireAlpaca. I draw mainly with Wacom Bamboo-tablet and sometimes I use mouse - I drew over 10 years only with a mouse, so I try to keep my skills active!
I am a big fan of japanese culture (language - not that much) and as somebody might guess, I also really like anime and manga. I am not that big fan of gaming and I mostly play Kingdom Hearts. I also like Disney's (and non-Disney's) animated films.
My music preference is a huge mess. I like korean pop (For example, SHINee and Teen Top) and pop in general. I do not have that much favourite artists or bands but I pretty much listen to anything that sounds nice and had good lyrics :U
I cosplay sometimes and I have cats. If you want to know something, go ahead and ask!

Please, no discussion on why I'm not gonna shoot .38 or +p or +p+ for self defence. I've been lurking here for some time and read all the recent threads about it.
What I'm trying to find is what's the best .357 round in a 2.25 inch barrel. Flash is a very small consideration while noise isn't important to me at all. I'm looking for good terminal bullet characteristics (deformation, penetration and ft-lb of force).

CCW permit holder for Idaho, Utah, Pennsylvania, Maine and New Hampshire. I can carry in your country but not my own.
I've got a 340 that I carry all the time as my main gun and I've been through the entire range of considerations for it from .38 vs. .357 to just how hot to go.
Lots of .357 to choose from. I've shot it all from the very hot Double Tap stuff down to mild reloads in .357.
I could handle it all. But getting back on target was easier with the lighter stuff. No real reason to go with super hot stuff and a lot of reasons not to.
.357 offers an advantage over even .38+p. You do pay a price for it. But I think it is worth it, if you don't go too heavy with a little snub.
No earthly reason to go heavier in rounds than the mid-range .357 stuff IMO. Nothing to be gained and everything to loose IMO. You can get over the 12" of gel the FBI wants with about .66 on the mushroom. That's as wide as a .357 mushroom is going to get no matter how fast you move it or what gr. weight you choose. More speed (and recoil) will just drive it a couple inches deeper even with the super hot stuff (if the mushroom holds together properly). You don't need or even want deeper penetration according to experts.
125gr. stuff in a midrange load will do everything you need to do with a .357 snub.
I settled on the 125 gr.DPX stuff for carry. I considered and tried them all and this is the one that is most consistent at the speed deliverable and desireable with the snub. Costs a little more. but you only have to shoot a little to get dialed in and then go to a sub for practice. Shoot a couple of expensive rounds every month or so just because and save you money IMO. I've got a reload from Mastercast that matches it's recoil, noise and POI pretty well and is cheaper for practice.

Can Less be More
A Look at Corbon
The Remington Gold saber 125gr is a midrange load and great for snubs. Low flash, good expansion and mild recoil. Most of the people I know that actually use .357 in their snubs use this load. I have also fired the Winchester 145gr Silvertip in the snubs. I had a chance to fire some and was impressed that a heavy bullet shot pretty mild.

Gold Dot (short barrel) 135 gr HP.
Hi I have a .357 snub a Ruger SP101 and use either Remington golden saber 125grain loads or Federal 158grain hydra shocks. I find the recoil a bit more with the 158's but both are manageable out of this gun with double taps easily accomplished. like others have said gold dots,corbons and any other quality self defense load you can't go wrong with pick a few and see what works best for you and your gun.
Check out the "Tactical Short Barrel, Low Flash, Reduced Recoil .357 Magnum" from Buffalo Bore Ammunition.

And the women come out to cut up what remains,

And go to your God like a soldier.

From what I've seen in pictures and read in ballistic tests I like the Federal HST the best.

I have a S&W Model 19, 4" barrel. A full-power .357 load is a PITA to shoot, IMO. It has too much noise, too much flash and too much recoil.
I can accurately double-tap with a .45, but that .357 is a bear and is not a good choice for accurate, controllable personal defense.

I shoot the speer short barrel 135 gr out of the 2 1/4 sp101. No issues I can see.
The 135gn bullet does shoot low however.
I love the federal HST's. Carry them in my 9mm and 45.
I have not seen the 357's. I think I would switch if they make a short barrel high velocity(relative) round

Just wanted to pick your brains, ladies. I am currently pregnant with #2. This was unplanned, since I was supposed to undergo IVF this next month. Either my husband has super-semen, or I ovulated unusually early. Anyways, I have a couple minor clotting factors and a luteal phase defect (low progesterone), along with a remarkably low AMH. All of these things together make me the ideal IVF candidate, which is why I flipped out when I saw my positive pregnancy test. We just moved the area, and I have a new RE, and everything! I called them right away and insisted upon a beta and progesterone. I would have been about 3w3d at that time.
2/3/12 Hcg 35 Progesterone 7 (was put on crinone gel)
2/6/12 (4w) Hcg 154 Progesterone 25
2/8/12 (4w2d)Hcg 204
2/10/12 (4w4d)Hcg 280
I thought things were doomed at this point, and the RE asked me to come in the following Monday for another draw and an u/s to rule out ectopic . After this conversation, I made the decision to start baby aspirin, since this RE had decided I didn't need to treat the minor clotting factors prior to this (last pregnancy, with our son, I was on lovenox for 12 wks, then baby aspirin until 25 wks). I figured that it does no harm to the embryo, and at least I won't regret not trying everything within my power.
2/13/12 (5w) Hcg 708 u/s reveals small gestational sac!
I really thought we weren't going to see anything, and that my numbers would continue to be crap. I was floored, but there wasn't any other explanation for the jump other than the intervention of baby aspirin. I told the RE, and he said I could remain on it.
2/15/12 (5w2d) Hcg 1578!
My big question now is, since there was the slag period during that one period of time, does that slow the development of the embryo? I'm going in tomorrow for an u/s at what would be 6w2d to see if they can see a heartbeat, but am concerned that they won't be able to see one at this point due to that delay. I don't want to make any premature decisions.
Anybody have any similar stories or feedback?

Check out these bargain stocks
Downsizing may be appealing, but consider these first
Join the NASDAQ Community today and get free, instant access to portfolios, stock ratings, real-time alerts, and more!
Last week I wrote about food stocks and offered a list of the
companies I like (see
'Pass the Ketchup!': Why Food Stocks Should Not
Be Overlooked
The thesis on food stocks is simple: Aggregate demand never
diminishes. This doesn't mean there's no risk in food and beverage
companies. There's plenty. Remember, highflier
Green Mountain Coffee Roasters
) is trading at about half of its August 2011 peak. But companies
with proven management teams, strong balance sheets, and a large
portfolio of products can enjoy twin growth drivers: grabbing share
from their less nimble brethren
capitalizing on growing organic demand.
Still, I understand, picking individual stocks can be unnerving for
some. My solution:
PowerShares Dynamic Food & Beverage ETF
(NYSEARCA:PBJ), which has been on a tear over the past three years
returning on average 16.18% versus the
Spider S&P 500 ETF
(NYSEARCA:SPY) whose average total return was a respectable, but
nonetheless much lower total return of 12.54% (to March 30). Over
the past 12 months, PBJ has delivered a spectacular 20.42% versus
SPY's 10.5%, or about half of the total return of PBJ.
As an ETF, PBJ delivers the standard benefits: diversification and
low costs (though with an expense ratio of 0.63% PBJ is more
expensive than many other
; by comparison, the expense ratio of SPY is 0.09%).
I would posit that PBJ may offer an extra layer of protection
against downside risk versus individual equities. That is, while
individual stocks contain portfolios of products -
Hershey Co
), for instance has 67
with possibly hundreds of individual products - PBJ increases this
by an order of magnitude, by combining the product portfolios of
some of the largest brand curators in the world. Below the top
holdings of PBJ:
After a run like this, is PBJ too frothy to get in? I would say no.
Reasons: First, Warren Buffett's acquisition of
) announcement on February 14 of this year has lifted the P/E
ratios of almost all food and food-related companies. Once Mr.
Buffett put his money where his mouth is by paying a premium for
HNZ, investors bid up the shares of other food companies. For
instance on February 13, 2013,
General Mills
) had a P/E ratio of about 14.7x, while today it's just over 17x.
Similarly, Hershey had a multiple of about 22.3x while today it's
approximately 24.5x. In both cases, the "Buffett Premium" (as I
like to call it) is about two points. As these multiples are
applied to the earnings stream, I think it will continue to reward
investors, who like Buffett, also put their money where their
mouths are.

Hi, I'm newly pregnant with my first child. I have a condition that effects my vulva called lichen sclerosis. It basically involves a lot of tearing and I have constant narrowing of my vagina.Ā I keep it controlled with potent steroid creams which cannot be used during pregnancy. I'm almost 14 weeks and I will be using a less potent steroid starting next week. Some people have it diminish during pregnancy and so far, mine has flared.
I have read horror stories of lichen sclerosis patients who have delivered naturally only to end up needing reconstructive surgery on their vagina due to severe lacerations. On the flip side, I've heard of those who delivery naturally, they actually end up 'cured' because of all the stretching that occurs.
Basically I'm TERRIFIED and would much rather have a planned c/section rather than a vaginal birth resulting in the need for me having to have a different planned surgery. I discussed my concern with my OB who said 'she thinks I'll be ok.' I'm going to my specialist at a local university in 2 weeks and I'm hoping I can get her to recommend a c/section.
In the mean time, is there anyway I can push to have this done electively?
Thanks, I'd appreciate any advice on this situation!!

Enge is new president at Carlsbad-based seller of sports products
An Active Network executive has left to take over as president at Carlsbad-based Sklz, a leader in performance-training products and instructional material.
Brian Enge, 43, spent the past three years as vice president at event management and registration software company Active Network, where he was responsible for consumer products.
Before that, the former professional soccer player for the Wichita Wings logged 15 years building and manufacturing on the product side of the sports apparel industry, which included leadership positions at running shoe company Saucony, and outdoor and ski apparel brand Schoffel North American. Enge also served five years as CEO of Zoot Sports, a triathlon clothing company in Vista.
"We couldn't ask for a more ideal fit," Sklz CEO John Sarkisian said about Enge, who started in the job Monday. "Brian not only has an outstanding track record as a senior manager within the industry, he has always been an exceptionally driven and accomplished athlete. He fully understands the mindset behind training to improve your athleticism and abilities, and that's what Sklz is all about."
Sklz, established in 2002, is the flagship brand of Pro Performance Sports and sells training gear for baseball, softball, golf, soccer, football and lacrosse. Its weighted vests, golf gloves, training bats, pitch machines and other products can be found at sporting goods retailers and specialty merchants around the world.
Enge said he is excited to return to his roots. Thanks to his time at Active, he brings with him a deeper understanding of the technology side of the sports industry, he said, which is going to be a critical part of his strategy at Sklz. He wants to deliver more than a physical product. "I wanted to understand how to speak to athletes through different mediums, and Active really speaks and builds relationships to athletes through technology," he said.
He predicts that information delivery is going to be one of the most important components to athletic gear of the future, and a key area for growth. Athletes want to know how they are doing, how their performance compares to their personal records and how it compares to others' performance.
That's why activity trackers like the Nike FuelBand and the FitBit are so popular, he said, but the potential goes beyond wristbands.
His goal will be to find ways to incorporate technology into making better athletes, whether it's by providing them with a better experience or providing them with more information.

I almost took out this lady while heading high speed down a winding curvy descent just now. She looks up at me for a second, and then decides to RUN into the street with her head down. At this point, I'm like...fuk...this lady is wilin' out cause she def doesn't see how fast I'm approaching her, so I veer left into the oncoming lane cause there is no traffic on the way, and this oblivious woman is STILL running...I'm saying out loud....no, no, no, no...cause I wanted her to chill out, and stop acting like a squirrel jumping into the road and darting everywhere. She continues running and almost runs into me, as I buzz by her along the far left side curb. As I pass by her and continue along.. yelling out to her to "pay attention". I'm glad I didn't hit her because she def would have caught the worst of it.
This is why people get hit by cars a lot of the time....running into the street and not looking. She would have been much better off at least looking at me while she was trying to avoid me, or simply stopping or walking slowly so that I could easily judge where she was going. But no!...she wants to do the stupidest thing possible...dart around with her head down...not cool.

A personal perspective on supporting war
October 1, 2012
By Ms. Cherish Washington (AMC)
REDSTONE ARESNAL, Ala. -- The U.S. Army Materiel Command during the 2000s was known for its efforts in supporting two wars, contingency operations and relocating nearly 11,000 employees.
Rudy Chavez, a specialist with nearly 25 years of AMC experience, currently assigned to the AMC Current Operations and Plans Division shares his perspective on the successes of AMC during a time of transition.
In the late 1990s to the 2000s, Chavez was assigned as the Chief of the AMC Operations Branch in Seckenhiem, Germany.
From there he deployed to the Balkans, Hungary, Bosnia, Croatia, Albania and Kosovo in support of numerous peace keeping operations, which included moving and recovering AMC assets and materiel to and from operations in the Balkans.
"AMC had a huge mission there, because U.S. Army Europe (USAREUR) needed equipment and AMC had it. The lesson learned in that mission was how to introduce equipment into units temporarily and set up a return process," explained Chavez.
During his deployment to Kuwait in March of 2002, he supported Operation Enduring Freedom missions.
"I was a part of the first elements supporting Operation Enduring freedom," Chavez said. "We took the AMC elements, force providers, the multimedia communication systems, materiel, equipment and with AMC personnel and provided it to the war fighter. We did it with a small element, because we didn't have the Army Field Support Brigades [or AFSBs] at that time."
Having a forward element, such as the Logistics Assistance Office and the Logistics Support elements, to support logistics and materiel distribution was a good idea, but it was made better with the creation of AFSBs.
"AMC has a huge mission that is necessary for the combatant commanders to understand AMC's capabilities," Chavez explained. "The combatant commanders don't want to go to a multi number of organizations to get the support. They should go to one and that one is AMC. That's why the AFSBs were created."
Chavez notes the creation of the AFSBs as one of his most memorable experiences.
Currently, there are seven AFSBs providing direct support to the war fighter in Afghanistan, Kuwait, Korea, Alaska, Hawaii, Germany, and locations in the United States.
"I was not only engaged on the implementation plan and getting it through the Department of Army to approve these brigades in 2005. I was also engaged in deploying and setting up the first AFSB in 2006, which was the 401st AFSB."
Another call for Chavez was in support of contingency operations.
Chavez, who was a part of a planning team, took the lead in the support of Hurricane Katrina relief efforts -- providing temporary life support, living space and movement of supplies.
Also in 2008, AMC was in the process of relocating its headquarters. Chavez served as the lead operator for AMC Forward Plans and Operations division, a position that assisted in transitioning roles, missions and functions to Redstone, Ala.
In January 2010, he deployed to serve in Operation Unified Response also known as Haiti earthquake relief efforts.
Soon after, Chavez volunteered for deployment to Kuwait as the Deputy Director of the Joint Program Office Mine Resistant Ambush Protected. The office was charged with the mission of providing MRAP vehicles to war fighters in Iraq, Afghanistan and Kuwait.
He credits AMC's success in supporting two wars, contingency operations, and conducting one of the largest relocations in Army history to the lessons learned by the personnel.
"For example, it was necessary to stage materiel ahead of time, like the Army Prepositioned Stock. And knowing there is going to be a lot of materiel you've got to recover is why the [Responsible Reset Task Force] R2TF was formed," explained Chavez. "AMC's footprint in the battlefield is not only parts and systems it's all the other logistics involved in it."
As the command's unofficial motto states, 'whenever, wherever our forces need it: AMC provides.'
Editors Note: This is part 11 of AMC's 50th anniversary series which will include insight from each decade and comments from people who worked with AMC throughout the years.

Just wondering how you all deal with it when you get rained on. How do you treat the bike afterwards to minimize it getting rusty.
Do you give it a full detail job, or just give it a couple bounces to knock the water off and oil the pivot points?
Just wondering how you all deal with it when you get rained on. How do you treat the bike afterwards to minimize it getting rusty.
Do you give it a full detail job, or just give it a couple bounces to knock the water off and oil the pivot points?
Never store the bike wet, always dry with towel and air compressor (be careful not to drive water into places you don't want it). Then lube. Wax the frame and fork every month or two during the summer or whenever the bike has needed major decontamination from road grime. The wipe on/wipe off poly waxes make this very quick and easy. I use a microfiber cloth to apply and remove the wax and the whole job takes maybe 10 minutes. Once in a while I get fussy and detail all the nooks and crannies, then it can take and hour and a couple of beers.
Lead, follow or get out of the way
The opposite of Myosmith. I just let it air dry, everything that will rust already has a layer of rust, i lube the chain and don't wipe off the excess. It 9 years old and spent most of that outside under a tarp, so it could use a major overhaul of the drivetrain.
Stop obsessing over it. It's not goingt o rust into oblivion from getting rained on. Wash the bike like you do a car when you think it needs it. Towel dry if you so desire.
Clean and lube the drivetrain when needed.
I've cut apart frames that look like they had serious rust and the depth is very minimal. People generally have a lot to learn about the strength and longevity of steel after all the propaganda from bike companies pushing alloy and plastic
My blog about rides, bikes and builds: ridesgoneby.blogspot.com
Paint on the outside, framesaver on the inside, grease on the threads, chainstay protector on the chainstay, oil on the chain.
Boeshield or Framesaver. Lube drivetrain. That's all.
My only steel bikes are single speeds and fixies so I just dont take them out if rain is expected. Thats the best opption if available but to agree with several others, your bike will not rust to oblivion, just wipe it down with with a towel nicely if you get it wet.
Im new at this and got some used bikes already pre-rusted. What i do is inspect for rust, sand it off using sandpaper i got at home depot the purpose, then apply first a primer coat then a top paint coat. (both Rustoleum auto paint that comes in spray cans but i spray it into a cup and use a brush.) I destroy the original finish but it had some rust anyway. I figure eventually i can get the frames powdercoated so all i am doing is preserving the frames in the meantime. I havent had any frames off the bikes yet so i havent used Framesaver. Since i am using a bike rack on car and also locking the bikes on streets, they are prone to new scratches so i just continue with my approach,the bikes original finish is already ruined anyway.
I ride carbon fiber so with the exception of the chain there is very little steel to rust
If the paint has chipped on the frame, I put some transparent nail polish on it.
I used an old chromoly steel racer as my everyday commuter bike in a damp, coastal town. The bike lived outdoors 24/7 and was regularly ridden along the seafront, even in storms, so splashed with sea spray.
I sprayed the inside of the tubes with WD40 as a rust preventor. Be careful if your bottom bracket bearings are exposed inside the tubes; Shimano cartridge BB units are safe.
I waxed the outside of the frame with turtle wax.
I greased all metal-metal contacts (inc crank/BB), packed the bearings full of grease, greased all threads and coated all exposed cables and bolt heads with wax.
Bike was rust-free after 2 years.
I live in Ottawa, Canada where there is sometimes an inch of salt on the roads in the winter. For me steel is not an option, also using a carbon drive with IGH. Rather have rust free design then maintain, but that's me ... I'm lazy.
My personal opinion, not for everyone.
I have a steel mountain bike that is almost 20 years old that I used to ride regularly in the rain. I've never done anything special to it, I never even clean it, and there are no signs of rust. The road frames I used to see rust out were actually from sweat from racers who were heavy sweaters. If you don't clean that off it will start eating away your top tube if there is any missing paint.
I wouldn't own a steel bike if only for all these reasons. No offense anyone.

Aluminum will corrode in some pretty nasty ways too given the right exposures. Rusting a frame up is a cosmetic concern only for the most part.
My blog about rides, bikes and builds: ridesgoneby.blogspot.com
It depends on what your goal is. If you want a bike that looks showroom new for years and years, that's going to take some work.
If it's just rain we're talking about and you're ok with a little surface rust on some unfinished parts, then I'd just ride it and not worry about it too much.
You can take a middle road though. I personally don't want to have to worry about cleaning and drying a bike every time I ride in the rain. On the other hand, I do like the idea that it could look nice should I decide to wash it.
So things like water bottle cage screws I replace with stainless steel versions that you can get at most hardware stores. I'll put a light coating of oil on any unfinished steel parts. The outside of the frame gets a coat of wax now and then. Any steel frame will get treated with "Frame Saver". Any dings or deep scratches you'll want to cover with nail polish (or something) which was already suggested.
Fenders will HELP keep the wet grit off your bike and drive train.
My "summer" bike is ridden rain or shine 8 months of the year. It's carbon/aluminum but even on the steel bits there is almost no rust at all. It's a different story for my winter bike which gets ridden in salty slop. I prefer to stay away from steel frames for winter but I've used them for many years without any of them falling apart.
One thing I have noticed is that the drivetrains on bikes that are ridden frequently seem to have less rust than those that are also exposed to moisture but aren't ridden as often.
+1 this. Any scratches get a layer of black nail polish and then some smoothly applied clear coat nail polish on top of that.
I've noticed some stuff that looks like alloy or stainless recently that shows small signs of rust which means they're poor quality metals. Not enough to get near pitting or worth worrying about. I think the important thing is to just be aware of it, monitor for it, and take care of it when you see it. (Dry off the spots it's likely to form in)
The most corroded frames I've seen recently have all been aluminum. A steel frame with a good powdercoat & plenty of frame saver inside the tubes is going to take a lot of abuse before there is even minor rust. My Cross-Check is parked outside in the rain & ridden in the rain constantly. After riding home in the rain I'll rinse it off in the driveway & then park it inside in front of a fan to dry.
This is a picture of a ship that has been on the Oregon coast for about 100 years.
Seeing the kind of damage that rust can do, I've resolved never to leave my bike exposed to daily soakings of salt water for 100 years. At least not without applying some kind of frame saver.
I leave my bikes out in the rain when I'm at work. I hang them up wet in the garage. I didn't use frame saver. Once every week or two I brush off the excess grime. When the chain starts to make noise I clean the drivetrain and lube the chain.
Also, this is a box of parts I removed from a 30-year old bike that somebody found in their uncle's barn and sold to me for $40.
I was able to break the chain with my bare hands.
This is the inside of the bottom bracket from that same bike.
Do you think they used frame saver?

Italian Pop Star Takes on U.S. Music Market
From 'Eva Contro Eva'
Web Extra
In-Studio Performance
Carmen Consoli's pop music combines Sicilian sounds with political commentary — making her a top-seller in Italy. Her CD, Eva Contro Eva, which debuted at No. 1 on Italian charts, has now been released in the U.S.
The last Italian pop song to have any considerable U.S. success was Domenico Modugno's "Volare," released almost 50 years ago. Consoli has just wrapped up a short U.S. tour, including a concert at the Kennedy Center.
It seems unlikely that Consoli's songs will ever rival the popularity of "Volare." But Consoli has something to offer not heard in that romantic ballad — her passion for politics.
"We know only too well that using our own minds is considered a threat by the establishment," says Consoli.

"Borneo Island in the Clouds" Borneo by MaryannPteo
Borneo Travel Guide: 83 reviews and 289 photos
Covering an area of roughly 287,000 square miles, Borneo is the third-largest island in the world. It is divided into four political regions: Kalimantan belongs to Indonesia; Sabah and Sarawak are part of Malaysia; a small remaining region comprises the sultanate of Brunei. Located southeast of the Malay Peninsula and southwest of the Philippines, Borneo is primarily mountainous, with dense areas of rain forest. The highest peak in Borneo, Mt. Kinabalu, stands at 13,455 ft. With a generally hot, wet climate, rain is more common than not, with some portions of Borneo receiving between 150 and 200 inches of rainfall annually.
Borneo is also the home of many national parks and an abundance of tropical wildlife and nature. Four of the most popular parks are Mulu National Park , Niah Cave, Bako National Park in Sarawak and Mount Kinabalu in Sabah.
Borneo remained isolated from the rest of the world. Located further from Indian trade routes than other parts of the Malay Peninsula, Borneo was less often the destination of traders and immigrants.
Many many years ago, emissaries of Spain and Portugal reached Borneo's shores. Soon after, the Dutch and British arrived, and it was these two nations that held power in Borneo from the 17th century into the modern era. In 1949, Indonesia became a foreign state, and in 1957, Malaysia gained its independence. Today, the population of Borneo consists of non-Muslim Dayaks and Islamic Malays, as well as Chinese and Europeans. The Ibans are the largest indigenous group in East Malaysia.
Sabah and Sarawak are multi-cultural states. Brunei is an independent country. Kalimantan, which is part of the Republic of Indonesia is the largest part of Borneo. Sarawak, Sabah, Brunei, and Kalimantan are inhabited by several different ethnic groups. Many interesting cultural festivals and celebrations are still celebrated throughout the year.
Borneo offers some of the most fantastic opportunities for divers. These include coral feefs, shipwreck drop off, unspoiled shallow reefs with a huge diversity of corals and the latest discovery in Miri is the Hatano reef Shipwreck MV Sri Gadong. Mountain climbing, golf, fishing, and rafting are well known too in the island of Borneo especially Sabah and Sarawak.
Once widespread throughout the forests of Asia, orangutans are now confined to just two islands, Sumatra and Borneo. There are two genetically distinct species: the Sumatran orangutan (Pongo abelii) and the Bornean orangutan (Pongo pygmaeus). The two species show slightly different physical characteristics. Sumatran orangutans have lighter hair and a longer beard than their Bornean relatives, and Sumatran males have narrower cheekpads. Both species are highly endangered due to habitat loss and poaching.
Orangutans breed more slowly than any other primate, with the female producing a baby on average only once every 7-8 years. Infants are dependent on their mothers for at least five years, learning about survival in the forest. Orangutans live for around 45 years in the wild, and a female will usually have no more than 3 offspring in her lifetime. This means that orangutan populations grow very slowly, and take a long time to recover from habitat disturbance and hunting.
Proboscis monkeys have large prominent noses. They have large bellies, and the color of upper bodies of the monkeys are generally in pale grayish-yellow to reddish brown. The fur on their upper back tends to be darker while the lower section of their body paler. Adult male have much larger nose than the female, the monkeys' nose will swell and turns red when the monkey is excited or angry. Proboscis monkeys are also known as the "Dutchman Monkey". Locals thought the monkeys and Kalimantan's farmer colonial rulers. In Malaysia they are called Örang Belanda" means Dutch nose monkeys
- Pros:Borneo still maintains the culture and nature of the people

Agencies of all sizes from across the country are implementing innovative programs to enhance police-community relations and better serve those that live, work, and visit their jurisdiction. Below are just a few examples of some of these ground-breaking programs. If you have a program you would like to share, please contact us at email@example.com.
Image courtesy of Apex, North Carolina, Police Department.
Safe Street Teams, Boston Police Department, Boston, Massachusetts
Boston Police Department (BPD) implemented Safe Street Teams throughout their jurisdiction. These teams consist of one sergeant and six police officers deployed in Boston's most violent hot spot areas, identified through crime mapping. BPD held a series of meetings with community leaders so that all stakeholder could provide input on the program design and implementation. Through community events and meetings, the Safe Street Teams are able to work together and solve problems that arise in their area.
Next-Generation School Resource Officer, Connecticut State Police
Connecticut State Police's (CSP) 'next-generation' school resource officer (SRO) program aims to build positive problem-solving relationships with the student body, their families and the faculty. The pilot is premised upon the community policing model whereby the trooper is an integral member of the school community, focusing on improved police and youth relationships and building a safer and more secure learning environment from the inside out. The pilot program strives to ensure a consistent response to incidents of student misbehavior, clarify the role of law enforcement in school disciplinary matters and reduce involvement of police and court agencies for misconduct at school and school-related events.
Operation Recess, Hopkins Police Department, Hopkins, Minnesota
Hopkins Police Department (HPD) created Operation Recess as a formal partnership between the elementary schools and the police department. Patrol officers spend one day a week at each of the elementary schools for three hours. Officers are not in uniform, and are there as rule enforcers, but as partners and supporters of the students. HPD officers are there to play and model cooperation problem-solving behavior.
CAUTION Program (Community Action Untied Team In Our Neighborhood), Michigan State Police
Michigan State Police (MSP) launched a pilot program that capitalizes on the strong faith community in Flint, Michigan. CAUTION is a partnership between the MSP and clergy of all faiths to create a two-way flow of information that fosters trust and improves public safety. Participating clergy, who receive training from the MSP, act as a quick response team to critical incidents to provide a calming influence at crime scenes and to act as a liaison between law enforcement officers and community members. CAUTION members utilize a 24/7 contact phone number to provide situational awareness to law enforcement and to pass on information useful in solving crimes and reducing the likelihood of civil unrest and retaliatory actions.
New Beginnings, Rhode Island State Police
Rhode Island State Police (RISP) launched an initiative to increase visibility in urban settings called New Beginnings. New Beginnings was created with the principal idea of sharing ideas between community members and law enforcement to facilitate a positive, open discussion. Troopers sustain this interaction by continually meeting with target communities to speak out against violence and praise positive contributions of individuals and groups toward the development of safer neighborhoods. Bridging the communication gap and developing respect in this way has ultimately improved community relations for RISP. This program proves to be an invaluable tool in reducing crime and allows the community to offer ideas and problem solving techniques that would otherwise remain unknown.

How can ANYONE one blame Obama on correcting the ills and problems our country is in when BUSH MADE OUR COUNTRY AND ALMOST THE WHOLE WORLD A WELFARE ECONOMY! THINK ABOUT IT. Obama has the task of restoring the U.S. economy. Don't blame him or his color.
You must have studied economics under the golden prince's economic advisors including Riech.
I agree. The republicans won't even mention his name because they know it's true.Bush was truly horrible.
President Obama has been in office for six-months now. At what point in time does he take responsibility and you stop bashing former President Bush?
It takes from 6 months to a year to change bush's screwups. Bush owns the bad economy we had and it looks like obama owns the recent soaring stock market. Bush deserves a lifetime of bashing. Pure and simple.

New maps keep parishes together
Published: Friday, April 1, 2011 at 11:54 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, April 1, 2011 at 11:54 a.m.
BATON ROUGE — A House committee endorsed two maps Thursday that would keep Terrebonne and Lafourche parishes in the same congressional district.
One of the redistricting proposals, from Rep. Dee Richard of Thibodaux, was partly drafted by a Lafourche businessman and filed for the special session a few days ago.
The House and Governmental Affairs Committee and its Senate counterpart are leading the process of redrawing Louisiana's congressional voting-district boundaries.
The process occurs every 10 years to adjust for population changes reflected in the latest U.S. Census. Louisiana's population grew more slowly than most other states, so it will lose one of its seven congressional seats. That has triggered a heated battle over which areas will gain or lose voting strength and which incumbents will have to face each other in the 2012 congressional elections.
The House committee Thursday rejected legislation from Rep. Joe Harrison, R-Napoleonville, that would have tied the two parishes together in a new district running due north through Acadiana and into Rapides Parish. He referred to the district as the "sugar belt," since 80 percent of Louisiana cane crop is located there.
After his House Bill 8 was disposed of, Harrison reminded lawmakers that it will be 10 years before they have the opportunity to redraw political lines again.
"You have to live with it for the next 10 years," said Harrison, who had originally advocated for an all-coastal congressional district that keeps Terrebonne and Lafourche together.
That has been the main request of local residents, politicians and business groups throughout the process, an effort to give the area some clout in whatever congressional district it ends up in.
In the state Senate, lawmakers have thus far shown interest in bills that would split Terrebonne and Lafourche parishes and create two north Louisiana congressional districts that would jog vertically from the Arkansas state line to the outer reaches of Acadiana.
Such a setup would pit Congressman Charles Boustany, R-Lafayette, against Congressman Jeff Landry, R-New Iberia, who represents the Houma-Thibodaux area in the 3rd Congressional District.
The dark-horse plan by Richard and Ben Harang of Donnes Real Estate, chairman-elect of the Thibodaux Chamber of Commerce, also pits Boustany against Landry.
More jarring for local voters, however, might be the way the proposed district is outlined in House Bill 39. In short, Terrebonne and Lafourche parishes would be moved into a district anchored largely by Baton Rouge.
That means Congressman Bill Cassidy, R-Baton Rouge, would be running for re-election down the bayou as well.
The new local congressional district would pick up Jefferson Parish before snaking north through Assumption and Iberville, winding into West and East Baton Rouge parishes.
Richard said the plan was developed completely without outside political influences and built using only population numbers and the requirements set forth by the U.S. Department of Justice.
"We are not drafting this with any advice from any congressman, any other elected officials," Richard told his fellow committee members.
When the Senate and Governmental Affairs Committee took up congressional proposals this week and last, members of Louisiana's U.S. House delegation were frequent guests, most times advocating for two vertical north Louisiana districts.
And Senate President Joel Chaisson, D-Destrehan, whose district includes Thibodaux, has made it clear that main goals of redistricting are to protect incumbents and satisfy federal requirements to provide sufficient minority representation.
Harang told the House committee his personal experience with the Senate process has been unpleasant and served as inspiration for the plan he co-authored with Richard.
"If you want to learn how not to run a committee meeting, go across the hall," Harang said to a smattering of hearty laughter.
As proposed, the Richard-Harang map would include a 66 percent white population and a 27 percent African-American population in the area's congressional district.
Drake Pothier, president of the Houma-Terrebonne Chamber of Commerce, has been advocating a combined approach since the special session kicked off, at first handing out stickers displaying a "1" and most recently relying on his oratory skills.
"We have an easy ask," he told the House committee Thursday. "We're not trying to coordinate a bunch of parishes. We're just trying to coordinate two."
Speaking on behalf of several of the region's business and industrial groups, Pothier explained the "symbiotic relationship" shared between Terrebonne and Lafourche parishes, like the United Houma Nation tribe and the agreements between Nicholls State University and L.E. Fletcher Technical Community College. The House committee also adopted House Bill 6 by Rep. Erich E. Ponti, R-Baton Rouge, which was an early favorite of many lawmakers intimately involved with the ongoing negotiations.
It would keep Terrebonne and Lafourche together as well, only this time in a more easterly district through St. Bernard and Plaquemines parishes and as far north as St. Tammany. It's essentially the same district now represented by Congressman Steve Scalise, R-Metairie.
Ponti's bill likewise creates two north-south districts in north Louisiana, which are favored by Congressmen Rodney Alexander, R-Quitman, and John fleming, R-Shreveport.
"I tried to include what I thought were interests in common," said Ponti, another member of the House and Governmental Affairs Committee.
While Richard's bill passed by a vote of 11-8, Ponti enjoyed a wider margin at 15-4.
In keeping with the trend of approving only bills authored by members of the committee, Rep. George Gregory Cromer, R-Slidell, saw his House Bill 43 pass by just a single vote.
It calls for vertical districts in north Louisiana and splits Terrebonne and Lafourche parishes.
Terrebonne would be pulled into a western district that would stretch to the Texas line through Cameron and Calcasieu parishes. This new district would pit Boustany against Landry.
Lafourche, meanwhile, would be tugged north into a district anchored by the Baton Rouge region.
All three of the bills are expected to be debated on the House floor Monday. And every bill proposed so far could be tweaked before receiving final approval.
