NOTE: The 520 bridge will close in both directions at 8:00 p.m. on Saturday (after the UW-Colorado game).
By Gregg Bell
UW Director of Writing
SEATTLE - Before Steve Sarkisian got fully back into another game week preparing his Huskies for Colorado, he fondly remembered what he still calls the most unique experience of my life.
"There is no manual to get ready for an interview with Al Davis," Washington's 37-year-old coach said of his three different interviews over 11 days in early 2007 with the former assistant coach, coach, AFL commissioner and Oakland Raiders owner. "You cover everything from A to Z in an interview. But you never go A to Z.
"It might go Q. Then K. Then A. Then X. Then L. It's all over the place. And I think that's what makes him unique. I think he had a unique way of seeing who you are as a person."
Sarkisian was speaking Monday, two days after the 82-year-old Davis passed away in Oakland. The Raiders' long-time managing general partner was a football pioneer and innovator for the last half century, starting in the old American Football League.
Sarkisian said - and sources with the Raiders confirmed on Monday - that Davis offered Sarkisian, then the 32-year-old offensive coordinator at USC, Oakland's head job in January 2007. Sarkisian declined that offer, and five days later Davis made Lane Kiffin the Raiders' coach.
"The most unique experience of my life," Sarkisian said of his series of interviews with Davis, who was essentially his own general manager and team president. Davis had final say on all things the Raiders did, including the players they signed and drafted, essentially until his passing.
"And I really appreciated that interview, because I found out a lot about myself and what was important. But also, you prepare even harder, for whatever reason," Sarkisian said. "You knew you were going to sit in front of Al Davis for six, eight hours, however long that would be. Not to demean anyone else, but it was Al Davis. So you wanted to put your best foot forward. And I appreciated just his presence and him allowing me to do that."
Sarkisian said one of his sessions lasted up to eight hours. It included X's and O's work for "hours, hours" at a dry-erase board.
Despite all his preparations, the young mind didn't anticipate the all-encompassing Davis asking him one question in particular: "What would be the pregame meal?"
"Quite honestly," Sarkisian said with a chuckle Monday. "And that was one of the first ones.
"But I came up with a pretty good answer: Chicken parm."
Sarkisian is among a select few current college head coaches to interview with Davis for the Raiders' head-coaching job. Others are Bobby Petrino at Arkansas and Kiffin, who is now leading USC after a brief stint in Oakland.
Sarkisian had been the quarterbacks coach at USC before Davis hired him in 2004 to have the same title with the Raiders under new head man Norv Turner.
It was a challenging, almost thankless task. Turner and his staff had just replaced that of Bill Callahan, who had gone down hard in what essentially became a 4-12 season and a player mutiny in 2003, months after the Raiders were routed by Tampa Bay in the Super Bowl. Oakland's veterans were still drifting. Rich Gannon was entering what would be his final NFL season as the Raiders' starter, two seasons removed from being the NFL's MVP. He was seven years older than his new quarterbacks coach, about whom Gannon knew little, if anything.
Gannon lasted just three games before he sustained a neck injury that effectively ended his career. Kerry Collins, then just a few months younger than Sarkisian, took over. It was, like Sarkisian, his first season in Oakland, and he threw 20 interceptions in 13 games. The Raiders went 5-11.
Looking back now, it's little wonder Sarkisian stayed in Oakland for just one season. Pete Carroll hired him back to USC to be the Trojans' offensive coordinator from 2005 until Sarkisian came to the Huskies as a first-time head man in January 2009.
He's found a thriving home here in Seattle, going 16-14 leading a UW program that finished 0-12 weeks before he arrived. He's one of a half dozen major college coaches in the last half century to lead a team to a bowl win within two seasons of being winless.
And he got the Huskies off to 4-1 start, their best since 2006, and 2-0 in the Pac-12 North entering Saturday's return from a bye week against Colorado (1-5, 0-2). Kickoff is at 12:30 p.m. at Husky Stadium (ROOT Sports television, the Washington IMG College radio network and here on GoHuskies.com with another live game chat and streaming audio).
Sarkisian was born and raised in the Los Angeles area, at the time when Davis had fought the NFL, moved the Raiders from Oakland to Los Angeles and won a Super Bowl. As a kid in suburban Torrance, 20 minutes from the Raiders' practice facility in El Segundo, Sarkisian was a fan of Marcus Allen, Bo Jackson, Jay Schroeder, Howie Long, Lyle Alzado - "I could go on and on," he said.
So he did a lot of soul searching before he turned down Davis in 2007.
"Sure. Sure. Being a head coach in the National Football League, there are only 32 of them in the world. In a lot of ways, that's the pinnacle of our profession," Sarkisian said. "So when you have to make those tough decisions, you have to look at them all individually and take the face off of it, and take the jerseys off of it.
"When the opportunity came, I had to try to remove the emotion of I-get-to-go-coach-the-Oakland-Raiders to, `Is this the best thing for myself, for my family and for our careers as we move forward?'
"And I just didn't feel like it was the right time to be taking that job."
The Huskies are sure glad of that.
QUICK HITS: QB Keith Price smiled - what else is new? - upon his return from his bye week of rest and declared his previous knees feel as good as they have all season. The ankle he sprained while throwing three touchdown passes against Utah Oct. 1 is not fully healed, but he and Sarkisian say the sophomore with 17 TD throws through five games will start again Saturday. Price ran the first-team offense through a hour-plus practice, and the coach thought it was as well as the quarterback has moved all season. ... Sarkisian said WR Kasen Williams will be limited much of this week by the ankle he sprained at Utah, and that it is iffy whether the freshman will play against Colorado. ... TB Jesse Callier (hamstring) and OLB John Timu also practiced and should be ready Saturday. Timu was the clear starter before he got hurt in a scary collision against California Sept. 24. Now he's likely to rotate with Jamaal Kearse, who has made big plays while filling in for Timu.

When you think of charities, how often do you associate them with the American Humane Association? Well, if not, then you should.
The American Humane Association, or the AHA, takes time and action to help animals and their human companions on many fronts on a day-to-day basis. Some of their charitable acts include:
· Helping to bring Military Working Dogs, MWDs, home from war the same as the human soldiers. The AHA believes in not only ensuring their safe return, but repatriating them as veterans after they retire.
· 2014 Hero Dog Awards. The AHA puts on this annual benefit to recognize dogs of service and how they help their human companions. They even enlist human stars to help broadcast the great works so that the dogs get the necessary awareness that they deserve!
· Because of their charitable works, the AHA has been recognized as the "Top-Rated Charity" by CharityWatch from the American Institute of Philanthropy. They even won the gold participation level from GuideStar USA. The award is a leading symbol of transparency and accountability in the philanthropic world!
· A portion of the AHA is their Red Star® teams. The teams do a variety of things including participating in various adoption events like the recent Mega Adoption Event held in New Jersey and attended by the Red Star Northeast Response Team. These events tend to bring together a group of cute, cuddly, adoptable animals from several local shelters to gain recognition and attempt to get as many of them forever, loving homes as possible.
· Dr. Donald Hoenig, a renowned veterinarian, joined the AHA as their Chief Veterinary Advisor for their Humane Heartland™ program. Due to this, he and the AHA will bring a brighter future to at least one billion American farm animals.
· Pet Life Radio Show. This show helps promote animals and brings attention to various pet-related issues thanks to the participation of featured guests that draw audiences thanks to their famous backgrounds. Various individuals such as Lea Black of "The Real Housewives of Miami," Alison Eastwood, actress and famed animal advocate, Donald and Lisa Pliner, famous shoe designers and David Backes, NHL Hockey Star, have all had spots on the show. This awareness is positive and keeps attentions focused on animal issues that matter.

KXAN: Lance Armstrong Foundation President named hero
by Katherine McLane (LIVESTRONG Staff)
Just wanted everyone to be aware of one of our own being honored for his outstanding work. Doug was nominated by Lance as one of the Austin Business Journal's Health Care Heroes. This morning, he was chosen as the winner from a field of outstanding competition. Way to go, boss!
Lance Armstrong Found. Pres. named hero
AUSTIN, Texas – President and CEO of the Lance Armstrong Foundation, Doug Ulman, received the 'Health Care Hero' award from the Austin Business Journal's public health category.
Ulman won this award based on his contributions to health care in Central Texas.
In 2007, Ulman helped promote the constitutional amendment to create a Texas Cancer Prevention and Research Institute. Ulman also organized the LIVESTRONG Survivorship Notebook, a resource for cancer survivors in low-income or uninsured families.
"I am honored to be recognized the Austin Business Journal as a health care hero. The true heroes, in my opinion, are the people who live with cancer every day and fight the disease with all they've got," said Ulman.
13 Comments
Doug deserves this award to the extent that I almost want to ask, "What took them so long to give him this award?"
I have ordered and given out dozens of the LIVESTRONG Survivorship Notebooks and could fill a web page with stories I've been told about the positive impact these notebooks have had for cancer patients during their treatments.
I have an order for another 10 notebooks being shipped to my home as I type this comment.
Of course, I believe that every staff member at the Lance Armstrong Foundation deserves recognition and awards for the work they do.
I don't know anyone more deserving. Congratulations, Doug!
Doug – well deserved – congratulations!
Great news for great work!
Congratulations to Doug on the award! This is awesome news!
I told Doug at the Columbus LIVESTRONG summit that while most people think of Lance as their hero, first, I've always considered Doug my personal hero and inspiration during my own fight against cancer.
Not only because we are both soccer players, but because of the way he turned his cancer experience into having this huge impact on cancer warriors and survivors all around the world.
His enthusiasm about the LAF, the way he took the time to talk to so many people at the summit and the fact that he wasn't afraid to wear a yellow shirt at the summit inspire me on a daily basis.
This recognition is really well deserved! Thanks for everything you do, Doug.
Congratulations Doug!
An award well deserved!!
Great job Doug!! You are an inspiration to us all.
Congratulations Doug. This is a well deserved honor. Thanks for all the great work you do.
What a great honor!!! Congratulation
YOU ROCK Doug!!! An award well deserved…
I echo Henrike's post about Doug. I appreciated that Doug took the time(at the zoo) to personally talk to many of us and even posed for photos.
Doug, you have proven yourself very worthy of this award, not only at the Texas level, but nationally! Kudos.
I echo everyone's comments as well. I owe the creation of my own foundation to Mr. Doug Ulman. Met him in 2000 after my second bout with cancer, and wanted to follow in his footsteps. Congratulations Doug

text: Music Box A Night Out In New Orleans' New Bohemia By editor • Jun 13, 2012 I'm spending June in New Orleans, digging into the soft wet earth of American music. A week in, I feel like I've barely begun to explore. The minute I try to say what draws me to New Orleans music, I realize that the core of it is always changing. It's not just the variety, though I love that in the first few days here, I caught classic blues on Frenchmen Street, a wild bounce night downtown, my longtime favorite Susan Cowsill singing Dusty Springfield covers in the Garden District, and a brass band on the corner in the French Quarter.

When Mayor Adrian Fenty named Cathy Lanier chief of police shortly after his inauguration in January 2007, the surprise resonated through the city. She was young (then only 39) and she was a woman, only the third ever picked to serve as top cop of a major U.S. city. She was white, in a majority black force in a predominantly black city. And she was also quite possibly the first police chief in the country to have been a 14-year-old pregnant high school dropout.
Surprising Personal History
Lanier talks openly about her background, answering questions in a rapid-fire staccato. This is not a woman who relaxes easily: Sitting on the edge of a couch in her office, her body is tense and her hand remains curled around her BlackBerry. Her fingernails are French-manicured acrylics. "Nails and hair are the only things that allow me to keep my femininity in a job that's very unfeminine," she says. Shortly after her appointment the Washington Post's Style section remarked on her hair—in a ponytail—not something her immediate predecessor had to deal with, she notes. "I mean, I love Chief Ramsey to death, but no one ever accused him of being a looker," she says.
Growing up in the blue-collar suburb of Tuxedo, Maryland, in Prince Georges County, Lanier played soccer, softball and basketball, and later joined the majorettes; her mother had also been a twirler. "She was a beauty queen," Lanier says. "She had one boyfriend, married the jerk, and that was it." Lanier's father, Walter, a deputy fire chief who died in 1984, moved out when she was two. "I wanted to be like my mom, a secretary," Lanier says, recalling how Helen would practice shorthand by taking dictation from TV shows and pop songs like "These Boots Are Made for Walkin' ." Helen worked two jobs while raising Lanier and her two older brothers. "We lived on welfare for nine years," Lanier says. "My mother had nothing, but we kids had everything we needed." (Lanier's oldest brother, Walter Jr., recently retired as a fire captain in Prince Georges County; Mike is a police detective in Greenbelt, Maryland.) "My mother had a hell of a time raising me," Lanier admits. "If she said, 'You can't go out the door,' I'd go out the window."
At 14, Lanier became pregnant by a 24-year-old man, and her mother took an unusual approach to the question of abortion. First, she sat the girl down with a cousin who was a nurse and had her explain the options. Then Helen told her daughter, "This decision is going to affect you for the rest of your life. You're the only one who can make it." Now Lanier says, "To this day I couldn't tell you what my mom's preference was. If she'd said, 'Have an abortion,' or 'Put it up for adoption'—or had even let me see that was what she wanted—and I had [done that], it always would have been her fault. So her response, in my opinion, was the best a parent could do."

Plugging The Holes in Biotech Food Safety

FDA Needs Authority To Assure Safety Of GE Foods, Says Report
January 7, 2003
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) lacks both the authority and the information to adequately evaluate the safety of genetically engineered (GE) foods, according to the nonprofit Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI). A new report from the group says that while the few GE food crops now on the market appear to be safe, the FDA is ill-equipped to assure the safety of future foods that will be engineered in increasingly complex ways.
Currently, biotechnology companies are encouragedbut not requiredto submit safety-testing data to the FDA for its review. CSPIs examination of 14 such submissions obtained under the Freedom of Information Act found that companies sometimes refused FDA requests for more information. Monsanto, CIBA-Geigy (now Syngenta), and Dow AgroSciences, for instance, each declined to provide requested scientific data to the FDA about strains of genetically engineered insect-resistant corn.
The voluntary notification process by which the FDA reviews safety data for new crops allows biotechnology companies to safely ignore FDA requests for more information, said Doug Gurian-Sherman, science director of CSPIs biotechnology project and the reports author. Without a legally mandated approval process, the FDA can only review whatever data that a company lets it review.
The report also found technical shortcomings in the safety data provided by biotech companies, as well as some obvious errors that the FDA failed to detect. Submissions from Exelixis (formerly Agitrope) about GE delayed-ripening tomatoes and cantaloupe, for example, contained erroneous and unsupported conclusions that went unremarked upon by the FDA. The CSPI report also found that one GE developer used inadequate methodology to test for allergens, and that others failed to evaluate toxicants and anti-nutrients. Errors like those might have been caught by observers outside the government, says Gurian-Sherman, had the process not been secret.
The first recommendation in the CSPI report is to replace the voluntary notification system with a mandatory pre-market approval system that requires biotechnology companies to submit much more detailed testing information and obtain FDA approval before marketing the product. Legislation that would do exactly that was introduced last fall by Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL), who is expected to reintroduce the bill this year.
Even without legislation, says CSPI, the FDA can take steps to give consumers greater confidence that the GE foods the agency reviews are safe. Most basically, the FDA should develop detailed safety testing guidelines for biotech developers.
We found that biotech companies werent always performing the right tests to look for potentially dangerous compounds, including allergens, and that there was a great deal of unevenness among different developers submissions, said Gurian-Sherman. But the FDA isnt giving companies enough guidance about what tests companies should conduct, or how much data companies should provide.
GE crops have the potential to provide enormous benefits to both consumers and the environment, according to CSPIs report. But the group warns that the technologys life span would be short if dangerous biotech products were to show up on supermarket shelves.
The public willand shouldonly have confidence in GE foods if the government formally approves them as safe after a thorough and transparent review, said Gurian-Sherman. The biotech industry itself should be clamoring for that kind of a process.
On Tuesday, Gurian-Sherman will present CSPIs concerns at a meeting of a committee of the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) that is reviewing some of the food-safety aspects of GE crops. I hope the NAS committee will provide the FDA and industry with specific advice on the kinds of tests that should be done, Gurian-Sherman said.

Caraun Reid Earns First-Team All-America Honor For Second Straight Year
Senior defensive lineman Caraun Reid, who will be competing in the 2014 Senior Bowl next month, became Princeton's first two-time First-Team All-America honoree in 20 years when he was named to the 2013 All-America team by The Sports Network.
Reid, a finalist for the Ivy League Defensive Player of the Year, was a co-captain who led Princeton to its first Ivy League championship since 2006 this past season.
A returning All-America, Reid led the league in sacks in Ivy games (5.5), and he finished second to teammate Jason Ray in tackles for loss in Ivy games (9.0). A three-time first-team All-Ivy League honoree, Reid overcame double- and triple-teams all season to become one of the league's most disruptive forces on the line.
He had a team-best five quarterback hurries, and he recorded his first career interception in the victory over Cornell. Reid had at least one tackle for loss in seven of the team's final nine games, and he helped Princeton rank among the Ivy's top two in both total defense and rushing defense.
He ended his career in brilliant fashion, recording four tackles for loss and three sacks in the season finale at Dartmouth. He is the fourth player in Princeton history to be named to the All-Ivy first team three times, and the first since Matt Evans (1996-98).
Reid is the first Princeton player to earn first-team All-America honors twice since all-time rushing leader Keith Elias, who was named All-America in both 1992 and 1993.
Since 1950, only six Princeton players have earned back-to-back First-Team All-America honors: Dick Kazmaier (1950-1951); Frank McPhee (1951-1952); Cosmo Iacavazzi (1963-1964); Stanislaw Maliszewski (1964-1965); Keith Elias (1992-1993) and Reid (2012-2013).

Thank you for your question. The aerator should unscrew by hand. It may help to use a flat rubber jar opener to grip the aerator.
Best regards,
I want to replace Water filter Model 210. What do you recommend?
I have purchased a trailer that had a 211 series water filter. Since they are discontinued, what models will replace them?
I just bought a Delta 1977-DST faucet for filtered water but it has 3/8" tube ending and my filter system has 1/4" push in tubes.
Is Delta Pur water faucet filter - under the sink - model 210 & 211 series available to purchas
Just had a Delta Kitchen Faucet Model 21902 installed. I need to hook up a water filter system. How do I do that...the tip can not be removed?.
We do not offer an adapter that will allow a water filter to be attached to the spout on this particular faucet. You may want to look at under the counter filtration options.
Removing the aerator and flushing the faucet should clear up the scream. This is usually caused by debris trapped in the faucet.
Flow has slowed to a trickle with green light flashing.
I have a Delta Kitchen Lewiston model 11926-SS-DST. Which faucet mounted water filtration systems can I use?
simply pur series 211
We recommend soaking a towel in a 50/50 solution of vinegar and water and wrapping the towel around the end of the spout. This should soak in and help break up the mineral deposits allowing the aerator to be removed. Then soak the aerator in the same solution to get it clean.

If you're a waterfowl hunter, you need to go. If you're a birder, you need to go. Tomorrow and Sunday are the only two days for the annual Saginaw Bay Waterfowl Festival at Bay City State Recreation Area.
The Department of Natural Resources will host the 19th annual Saginaw Bay Waterfowl Festival. Festival activities focus on getting families outdoors to appreciate Michigan's Waterfowl Legacy – wondrous waterfowl and the unique wetland habitat upon which they depend. The festival runs 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday and 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday.
Visitors are invited to experience a wide range of activities, displays and programs, all focused on Michigan's world-class waterfowl resources, the sport of waterfowl hunting and wetland conservation. The event is co-sponsored by the Frank N. Andersen Foundation, Michigan Duck Hunters Association, the Friends of Bay City State Recreation Area, Ducks Unlimited, Frank's Great Outdoors and Cabela's. Last year more than 10,000 visitors attended.
The festival's main events include:
The Michigan Duck Stamp Competition
This event showcases the entries in the 2015 MDHA Duck Stamp Contest, which is open to all artists. This will be the only opportunity for the public to view all entries for the 2015 duck stamp. The Michigan Duck Stamp Program began 39 years ago to raise money for wetland habitat restoration and habitat acquisition for waterfowl. A portion of every waterfowl stamp and print purchased goes toward Michigan wetland habitat restoration.
Waterfowl Calling Championships
The Michigan Goose Calling Competition and the Michigan Championship Duck Calling Contest are two of the festival's popular events. The calling competitions include master and novice divisions. There also will be a Junior Duck Calling Competition and a Junior Goose Calling Contest for youth ages 16 and younger. The festival also will host (Saturday) a Team Duck Calling Contest, designed for teams of two hunters using working field calls. The Saginaw Cabela's Outpost also will offer youth and adult calling classes.
Hunting and Outdoor Recreation Expo
Over 100 exhibitors will be involved in the Hunting and Outdoor Recreation Expo, providing waterfowl enthusiasts with hunting, archery, camping, boating, wildlife-watching and habitat-enhancement products and wares. The expo includes a special Wildlife Art and Craft Show with fine art originals, prints, photos, carvings and crafts, all inspired by the wonder and beauty of nature.
Dog Fun Hunt Trial
Attendees can bring their retrievers to participate in the Dog Fun Hunt Trial, where they can also learn tips from trainers on dog handling or find a new hunting buddy in "Puppy Alley." The event also offers a free opportunity for sporting dog breeders to bring out their puppies to introduce them to potential owners.
Cabela's Quack-Athlon
One of the increasingly popular festival events offers an opportunity for adults to mentor young hunters in a three-person team (one adult, two youth) competition. The "Quack-Athlon" is a contest of skill and timing in three events: canoeing, air-rifle marksmanship and duck identification.
Special Exhibits
Featured displays will include those by 2014 Michigan duck stamp artist Chris Smith, wildlife carver Calvin McLeod, taxidermist Gary Ebel and wildlife photographer Tim Kaufman. Visitors also will be able to enter their own wildlife carvings and wildlife photographs and participate in judging the Wildlife Carving Show entries and the Wildlife Photography Contest entries.
For more details on these activities and information for exhibitors, visit www.michigan.gov/saginawbayvc; stop by the Saginaw Bay Visitor Center, located within Bay City State Recreation Area at 3582 State Park Drive in Bay City; or call 989-667-0717.

I tried downloading several videos last night on Chrome but most of them are downloaded incompletely.
Is there a software that reads the flv or ogg files and downloads the rest of the file from the specified url?
Downloading several GBs all over again gains me nothing, just adds to Global warming.
Also, what is a good download manager for Ubuntu. How can I have it take over some bulk downloads from Chrome?

IN-FLIGHT TURBULENCE: AN ARTICULATED THOUGHTS IN SIMULATED SITUATIONS (ATSS) INVESTIGATION OF AIR TRAVELERS' EXPERIENCES by Marat V.

|We examined whether enhancing the standard pre-takeoff announcement with supplemental information that explains the basics of turbulence and the aircraft s ability to safely withstand it will favorably affect air travelers reactions to a severely turbulent flight. With help of the Articulated Thoughts in Simulated Situations (ATSS) paradigm, participants boarded a plane as passengers, heard either a standard or enhanced pre-flight announcement, experienced either an uneventful or a very turbulent flight, and then landed safely. Compared to the calm, the turbulent flight resulted in greater articulations of anxiety, negative outcome expectancies, pleas for God s help, appeals for explanation, and relief about landing, all regardless of the announcement type, the passengers pre-existing fear of flying (QAF), their state anxiety (STAI-S) at the time of boarding or the extent of their past air travels.; Land-based transportation and not airplanes was the most preferred means of travel. Additionally, neither the number of previous flights nor the pre-existing fear of flying was instrumental in the passengers' ATSS responses to turbulence. The latter, however, significantly correlated with several variables. While decisions to fly in the future significantly depended on satisfaction with the most recent flight, the latter was exclusively a function of the in-the-moment (ATSS) cognitive reactions to turbulence and not of any questionnaire-based variables. That is, it wasn't just encountering turbulence but the passengers' particular cognitive reactions to it that was a decisive factor. Specifically, greater articulated anxiety and negative outcome expectancies during the turbulent flight led to reduction in satisfaction with it and, consequently, the diminished likelihood of flying again. Therefore, it appears that any efforts to improve the passengers' experience, particularly if turbulence is forecast, should focus specifically on alleviation of their anxious thoughts and negative outcome expectancies. We conclude that such informational enhancement will likely be most effective if delivered during the actual turbulent encounter and not before the flight. The think-aloud data gathered via the ATSS seemed to be more informative than those of either questionnaires (QAF and STAI-S). We thus encourage continued utilization of the paradigm in this line of research as a reliable and practical alternative to other approaches.

In the lead up to the US-Africa Leaders' Summit, taking place from 4 to 6 August, all eyes are on the future of the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA). South Africa currently qualifies trade preferences under the Act, along with 38 other African states. But just what is the Act, why is it important, and what is the current state of trade between the US and Africa?
What is AGOA?
The African Growth and Opportunity Act is a US-Africa trade deal that has been in effect since 2001. It grants duty free access to the US market for qualifying African states, without requiring any market opening in return. AGOA expires on the 30th of September 2015, and its renewal is currently being debated before the US Congress.
Which countries qualify for AGOA?
The 43 countries of sub-Saharan Africa are eligible for AGOA preferences, provided they meet certain conditions. These conditions include a commitment to the rule of law, a market-based economy, and internationally recognised workers rights, as well as a pledge to work towards eliminating barriers to trade and investment with the United States. Four countries have failed to meet these conditions and have lost AGOA preferences - the DRC, Guinea-Bissau, Mali, and Swaziland.
Does South Africa benefit from AGOA?
Yes. South Africa is eligible for AGOA market access, which is estimated to contribute 62,395 jobs to the South African economy.
How comprehensive is AGOA?
The United States categorises their imports into 10,500 tariff lines. 3800 of these lines have no tariffs for all countries, 3400 have no tariffs for developing countries, and an additional 1800 have no tariffs under AGOA. A non-LDC AGOA-eligible country like South Africa would thus qualify for duty-free access into the US market on 9000 tariff lines.
Has AGOA increased trade with the United States?
Exports from the AGOA group to the United States have increased 78% since 2001, and imports into AGOA countries from the US have increased 239% over the same period. It is unclear what portion of this growth is driven by AGOA, as high African growth rates and the export of commodities and energy products have also had a large impact. AGOA runs a significant trade surplus with the United States.
Source: All data used in the graphs in this article has been sourced from trademap.org
AGOA's exports to the United States initially grew faster than exports from the rest of the world, however they have recovered more slowly after the global financial crisis of 2008.
Which AGOA countries export most to the United States?
The three largest AGOA exporters are Nigeria, Angola and South Africa - however Nigeria and Angola primarily export oil. If energy exports are removed, South Africa is by far the largest export partner for the US, followed by Kenya, Lesotho and Mauritius.
While overall trade is high, the distribution of trade amongst AGOA countries is unequal. Half of AGOA-eligible countries export less than $1 million to the United States.
What do AGOA countries sell to the United States?
AGOA's exports to the United States are dominated by energy and commodities. Mineral fuels, oils, and distillation products make up 68% of US imports from AGOA, and this figure rises to 88% if South Africa's exports are removed. Some manufactured goods - particular clothing and others textiles - have been growing fast, but remain small compared to commodity exports.
South Africa's trade with the US does not follow this pattern, and include the export of a large quantity of high-end manufactured goods, particularly vehicles and their component parts.
How does the AGOA group's trade with the US compare to other partners?
During AGOA's lifetime, the United States has been overtaken by China as a destination for exports from AGOA countries, and has fallen further behind the European Union in the aftermath of the financial crisis.

SimTown is an educational simulation game that is geared more toward children. It was published in 1995 by Maxis, and is similar to the SimCity game. You are to build a town from the ground up and make it and its citizens prosper.
You begin the game with a piece of land with absolutely nothing on it. You will need to position homes, businesses, and other buildings on the land. The graphics are cute, with the buildings being made out of unusual materials.

TNA (Total Nonstop Action) Impact Wrestling announced they are bringing one of their flagship pay-per-view events back to the Dallas/Ft. Worth wrestling fans. Slammiversary XII will take place Sunday, June 15 in Arlington, Texas live from the College Park Center at the University of Texas at Arlington. Slammiversary X was held at the same location in June 2012, in which the main event was Sting versus Bobby Roode for the TNA World Heavyweight Championship. It was Impact Wrestling's largest domestically attended pay per view at the time.
Tickets for this huge event will go on sale starting March 28 at 10a.m. at the College Park center box office. Tickets can also be purchased by phone at 817-272-9595 or online at utatickets.com. Impact Wrestling is just coming off the Lockdown pay per view in Miami, Florida which broke the record for attendance from Slammiversary X.
Impact Wrestling boasts such stars as the current TNA world heavyweight champion, Magnus, Samoa Joe, Kurt Angle, EC3 (Ethan Carter III), Gail Kim, Jeff Hardy, and former WWE star, MVP. The current storyline centers around MVP resting control of the company, away from TNA president Dixie Carter, after a victory by his team at the Lockdown pay per view. Many wrestling fans are wondering if the icon Sting will appear at the pay per view. Sting has main evented 3 of the past 4 Slammiversary's. Many have speculated that Sting will sign a contract to end his career with World Wrestling Entertainment. Dixie Carter addressed the rumor recently, "haven't heard anything about that for real" said the TNA president. "Wish Sting would get back on team Dixie. We have a great, long successful history together." Impact Wrestling airs every Thursday night at 9/8c on Spike TV

RSA Finds Laser-Focused Phishing Attacks Targeting Pre-Determined Victims
A new phishing kit was recently discovered and analyzed by EMC's RSA Security division in which a specific group of victims was targeted for credentials theft. Assigning each address on the list a unique identifier, a user clicking the malicious link was first validated and then redirected to a phishing webpage if he made the list.
Users not on the list were redirected to a 404 webpage. The "laser precision phishing" campaign is a significant evolution in the way phishing campaigns behave, because it takes longer to detect, report, and blacklist malicious webpages if "unwanted" users only see a 404 webpage.
"Much like many high-profile nighttime hotspots—if your name is not on the list, you're staying out!" said Limor Kessem, cybercrime and online fraud communications specialist at RSA. "Keeping out uninvited guests also means avoiding security companies and prompt takedowns of such attacks."
After harvesting credentials from a targeted victim, the bouncer kit keeps redirecting users to another hijacked page. Although the phishing campaign contained a list of around 3000 victims, the attacks were carried out against financial institutions in Australia, Malaysia, and South Africa.
"The targeted were a mixed bag of webmail users, corporate addresses, and even some bank employees – which indicates that it was likely an aggregation of a few spam lists or data breach collections," Kessem said in the same report. "These kits, used to target corporate email recipients, can easily be used as part of spear phishing campaigns to gain a foothold for a looming APT-style attack."
Since most phishing attacks prey on unpatched open source CMS-based websites, RSA warns webmasters to be up to date with the latest security issues.

Installing guest OS in qemu-kvm via aqemu
Rich Shepard <rshepard <at> appl-ecosys.com>
To add topographic maps to my Garmin Oregon GPS receiver I need a machine running windows. Since I've not used any Microsoft since '97 I bought a win7/home, sp1, 64-bit cdrom and want to install it in a virtual machine on my portalbe. Seems to me there are 3 steps involved: 1) install and configure the VM; 2) install the guest OS in the VM; 3) run the guest OS. For step 1 I've built the SlackBuilds.org qemu-kvm and aqemu and installed them on my portable. Running aqemu allows me to set up a VM. This seems to be done correctly as there's an .img file in /root/.aqemu/. The aqemu menu/icon for 'Start' appears to be how step 3 is accomplished since selecting this action brings up a message box that 'no boot device found.' What I cannot find on the aqemu pages or with my Google searches is how to install the guest OS from the optical drive into the VM. Please provide pointers on how this works as I've not used a VM since I gave up on VMware Workstation a half-dozen years ago. Thanks, Rich

College Hockey:DeMichiel back with RIT as women's assistant coach
Former Rochester Institute of Technology goaltender Jared DeMichiel has joined the RIT women's hockey staff as a new assistant coach.
"Jared is a great addition to our program and coaching staff," said RIT head coach Scott McDonald in a news release. "I was (an assistant coach) on the men's staff when Jared was recruited to RIT, and have remained good friends with him over the years. Jared was a tireless worker and a great character guy to have in the locker room as a player and I know this will translate to him becoming a great coach."
DeMichiel, who graduated from RIT in 2010, played goal for the Tigers from 2006-10, and is the school's all-time leader with 41 wins and seven shutouts at the Division I level. He played in 66 career games, finishing 41-19-2 with a 2.48 goals against average and a .909 save percentage.

One of the nation's premier diving instructors, Dr. Rick Schavone is now in his 35th season as Stanford's head diving coach. Taking a program that was an after thought when he first started in the 1970's, he has molded Stanford into one of the top all-around diving programs in the nation. A three-time NCAA Diving Coach of the Year (1992, 1993 and 2007), Schavone is also a seven-time recipient of the Pac-10 Diving Coach of the Year award (1995-men, 1995-women, 1997-women, 1999-women, 2000-women, 2007-women and 2008-women).
He will serving on Team USA's Olympic coaching staff at the 2012 Olympics after two of his divers earn their first Olympic nods. Kristian Ipsen won the 3-Meter synchro and Cassidy Krug won the individual 3-Meter. All three are making their first Olympic appearances.
Since 1982, Schavone has coached at least one top-16 (All-American) in all but one season on the women's side. He has also added All-Americans in 12 years on the men's side. He has also coached at least one Pac-10 champion in 17 years on the women's side and seven times on the men's side.
Schavone has coached NCAA champions in 2012 (Kristian Ipsen-three-meter), 2007 (Cassidy Krug-one and three meter), 2001 (Erin Sones-platform), 1995 (Eileen Richetti-platform), 1993 (Richetti-platform and three-meter), 1992 (Richetti-platform and three-meter) and NCAA runners-up in 2012 (Kristian Ipsen-one-meter), 2008 (Meg Hostage-platform), 1996 (Megan Gardner-platform), 1994 (Gardner-platform) and 1992 (Kristen Jensen-platform).
One of Schavone's biggest seasons to date came in 2006-07, as he was named both the Pac-10 and NCAA Diving Coach of the Year. He guided Krug to an undefeated championship season in 2007, as she swept the 1-meter and 3-meter boards at the Pac-10 Championships, NCAA Zone E Championships and NCAA Championships. Krug was also named NCAA and Pac-10 Diver of the Year. Schavone also coached Krug to first in the 3-meter at the 2007 U.S. summer senior nationals after a fourth-place effort in 2006 and a seventh-place showing on the 3-meter at the 2006 FINA Diving World Cup in China.
In addition to his work at Stanford, Schavone has served as the head coach for several United States diving teams. Top events he has coached include the 2006 FINA World Cup in China, competitions in Rome and Vienna with the U.S. National Team in 1999, the 1997 World University Games in Sicily, and the 1990 Goodwill Games. He has also headed the U.S. National Team at the 1993 World University Games, four World Age Group Championships (1984, `87, `88, `89) and the 1985 European Youth Championships in Aachen, Germany. Schavone is one of the few coaches nationwide who has coached at the last six U.S. Olympic trials - in 1988, 1992, 1996, 2000, 2004 and 2008. In the summer of 1995, he traveled with the U.S. National Team to China, and served as a coach at the World Cup in Atlanta. In 2007, he helped host the U.S. summer senior nationals at Stanford's Maas Family Diving Center.

The female reproductive system is complicated and affects many aspects of the growth development and aging. What is often forgotten is that societal pressures can affect how well women are able to deal with the changes that go on in their bodies.
Historically women had children at younger ages when their bodies were stronger. There were societal and family structures to help young mothers to carry and raise a child. In our more modern and individualistic society, women are having children later in life and waiting until they are more mature and financially capable of raising a child in a smaller family structure. This sometimes results in problems with fertility and increases in pregnancy issues. The popularity of of invitro-fertilization and other reproductive technologies is a result of these cultural shifts. There are specialized Traditional Chinese Medical practitioners who are trained and certified to be able to help women who are having difficulties with getting pregnant. These practitioners are trained to use ancient medical techniques to work with modern reproductive technologies.
One other lesser known aspect of cultural change is the dynamics of how the shift in maternal age affects puberty and menopause. The process of menopause and of puberty both involve major changes in the hormones and physical and emotional state of a woman. These are times of change, instability and uncertainty. It is helpful for anyone going through changes in life to have family who can help and be supportive. As women have children at later ages, their daughters are reaching puberty at the same time as the mothers are entering menopause. The result can be a strain on the mother daughter relationship.
Traditional Chinese medical practitioners are skilled in helping people transition through these challenges. Herbs and acupuncture can be helpful tools in addressing the issues that women face. Society is always changing. It is important to understand how societal pressures complicate the natural flow of life. Society will keep changing. Helping people adapt to the change starts with understanding the stresses and pressures that people face.

Golf is unlike most other sports, but I think all top level pro's in any sport have the same brain wired to not just beat the competition, but to destroy them. Back when I played the game a lot I was turned on to 2 books by Bob Rotella (1: Golf is Not a Game of Perfect,and 2: Golf is a Game of Confidence). I bet you've read both of them. If not, you'd find they are better than most "how to" golf books. I try to apply the key points from both books when I line up for a bike race (Book 1 Key Point: Train it then Trust it; Book 2 Key Point: 100% Confidence that You Will Succeed).

 The magic of thinking big - David Schwartz

 I recently re-read both books, and there are a lot of very essential thoughts in these books like in your article.

For instance when I don't stand on the start line with the first few athletes to take off, I know that something is not right. But when I am there with the lead group waiting for the "Gun", that is the time to make it happen.
