Transition Assistance
The Transitio
n Assistance Program (TAP) offers separating or retiring personnel an individual transition plan to ease re-entry into civilian life. Consider beginning transition planning at least one year prior to retirement or separation. A&FRC provides TAP workshops and pre-separation counseling. TAP is designed to provide necessary tools to effectively transition from the military to the civilian community. The pre-separation counseling checklist (DD Form 2648) is a mandatory briefing for all separating/retiring service members and must be accomplished at least 90 days prior to the individual's separation/retirement to facilitate out-processing. Also, based on Vow to Hire Heroes Act, TAP has changed from a 3.5-day optional program to a 5-day program with mandatory requirements. It is highly recommended that both pre-separation counseling and TAP be accomplished one year prior to retirement and/or separation.
Mandatory pre-separation counseling and TAP are two separate requirements. Members attending TAP are automatically signed up for pre-separation counseling and will receive counseling the morning before TAP begins at 8:00 a.m. The TAP workshop begins at 9:30 a.m. after pre-separation counseling has been completed. Depending on circumstance, members may receive pre-separation counseling on a walk in basis prior to attending TAP. Members must complete pre-separation counseling before attending TAP.
The 2016 TAP schedule is available by
clicking this link.
"E" Sponsorship Program
Taking care of newly assigned and soon-to-be assigned members as a sponsor is one of the most important roles you can have as a military member.

E-Sponsorship Training is your first source for sponsorship needs. Resources for training and post-training tools and information are available through this online resource: "E" Sponsorship Application & Training:

Back in 2012, singer/songwriter Ally Burnett sued recording artists Carly Rae Jepsen and Owl City's Adam Young for copyright infringement, claiming that their collaborative effort from 2012, "Good Time," was a direct rip-off of Burnett's tune "Ah, It's a Love Song."
On Jan, 31, TMZ reported that although there hasn't been a final determination in the lawsuit just yet, the nonprofit arm of music publishing giant BMI has placed the royalties from "Good Time" into an escrow account until the lawsuit is settled.
Funds placed into that escrow account total $804,156.
While those monies are in escrow, Jepsen and Young won't be able to tap into any of their "Good Time" royalties until the lawsuit is settled.
"Good Time" hit No. 8 on the Billboard Hot 100 back in 2012. Burnett's Wikipedia page indicates "she is best known for suing Carly Rae Jepsen and Owl City for their song 'Good Time.'" ~ The Huffington Post
In exchange for BMI's involvement, Burnett will reportedly be dropping the lawsuit against Jepsen and Young until a final determination has been made as to whether or not there was copyright infringement on their parts.
For more on the copyright infringement allegations over "Good Time" and "Ah, It's a Love Song," see the video accompanying this article.
You can compare "Good Time" to "Ah, It's a Love Song," to reach your own conclusion.

TED is the nonprofit organization that has been devoted to "Ideas Worth Spreading" for more than two decades. Throughout the years, the organization has grown to be a recognized source of inspiration and innovation, supporting world-changing ideas through a variety of programs.
Now, for the first time, TED and Skype have partnered together to enable worldwide experiences and conversations that extend to all corners of the globe.
Back in March, Skype and TED brought together voices from around the world in a spectacular live performance on stage at TED 2013. With Skype's technology, Eric Whitacre transformed his virtual choir into the first live choir, where 30 singers from 28 countries joined their voices together in one powerful performance.
Most recently at the TED Global conference in Edinburgh, Skype was a part of the TED Found in Translation Sessions that were based in The Open Translation Project Lounge. These interactive sessions connected TEDGlobal Speakers, Sessions Hosts, Fellows, attendees and TED Translators. Many of the sessions took speakers straight from the main stage via Skype to a global audience, where viewers could learn and explore the impact and meaning of powerful topics.
From killer robots to internet memes, be sure to take a look at the TED Found in Translation Sessions and stay tuned for the next TED conference:

College Hockey:Vailants Avenge Loss to Elmira
Temesy Continues Tear
RYE, N.Y. — Manhattanville avenged its shutout road loss of 10 days ago with its first-ever home ice victory over Elmira.
In the 7-3 victory, the Valiants (6-2) pulled away from the Soaring Eagles (4-3) with a 4-1 lead by the 10:57 mark of the second period. Senior Jessica Temesy scored the fourth goal, the eventual game-winner, when she collected the rebound of a Jessica Zimmerman slapshot from the left faceoff circle.
Temesy's five goals in the last three games have invigorated the team offense. She had previously been playing defense due to team injuries.
"I feel more comfortable at forward," Temesy said. "I feel like our lines are clicking really well."
The Valiants came out flying in the first period, although they trailed briefly when Elmira's Catherine Shears cashed in a powerplay goal at 11:18 of the first period. Aggressive forechecking by Cory Alcorn and Jesse Garner was rewarded when Garner stuffed her own rebound past Elmira's Cara McGurry to tie the score 1-1.
Manhattanville senior Jami Grasby gave the Valiants a lasting lead and some insurance as she continued her torrid scoring pace, following her hat trick Sunday. Grasby netted her first past Elmira goalie Cara McGurry on a feed from Dani Poupart for the 2-1 lead in the final minute of the first period, shortly after Elmira finished killing off three penalties.
"We broke it out nice," Grasby said. "Nice pass from Poupi off the boards, brought it in and shot it top left, just above [McGurry's] shoulder."
"Jami Grasby is the heart and soul of our teamwhen she is playing well the team is playing well," said Manhattanville coach Nicole Kirnan. "I was very happy the way we came out in the first period We built off the solid first We wanted this game, this is what we have been focusing on since we played two weeks ago."
Elmira seemed flat after their weekend visit to Middlebury and playing on the vast (200×95) Kenyon Arena ice surface.
"With a young team change is very tough," said Elmira coach Paul Nemetz-Carlson. "The more important thing was the level of confidence and comfort Manhattanville had in their own rink. Today we ended up in traffic, they clogged the middle really well, they created their own space really well."
Elmira has now dropped three of four through a brutal schedule, including D-I RPI and No. 1 Middlebury.
"I think highs and lows were a big part of this, how to emotionally respond to them is something we need to learn," he said. "This was the great thing of playing three games against top 10 teams in four days. We found out we need to be a little more mentally tough and we found out playing college hockey is hard."
Manhattanville next travels north to play Bowdoin (2-0-0) in Brunswick, Maine at 1 p.m on Sunday for a game Kirnan said will be huge.
"We're really excited about going to play Bowdoin," Jessica Temesy added. "I think we're playing really well right now, it is a great time to challenge ourselves and show them what we have."

The joke Gervais wanted to tell
Ricky Gervais shares a laugh with Conan O'Brien while Angelina Jolie confesses spending two months with Johnny Depp was too hard to pass up.PT0M0S http://www.theage.com.au/action/externalEmbeddedPlayer?id=d-19xec 620 349 January 20, 2011
Her Golden Globe-nominated film The Tourist was panned by critics, but Angelina Jolie says a two-month shoot in Italy with the "extraordinary" Johnny Depp was hard to turn down.
"I got to spend two months in Venice filming, which nobody gets to do, with a co-star who's so much fun and so lovely - it's hard to say no to," Jolie told radio host Kyle Sandilands yesterday.
"[Depp] is one of those artists that feels like he's from another time. He's an extraordinary painter, he's a great musician, he's a great actor - he's a renaissance man in the greatest way.
Golden Globes red carpet 2011
Angelina Jolie and husband Brad Pitt arrive at the Golden Globes. The actress was later mocked by host Ricky Gervais. Photo: Getty
"[And] he is one of the most real people you will ever meet."
Jolie was the butt of jokes made by Golden Globes host Ricky Gervais on Monday, which earned him the ire of many critics in Hollywood.
The actress was sat in the audience as the British comic rubbished the film, quipping: "It seems like everything this year was three dimensional – except for the characters in The Tourist.
"I feel bad about that joke because I'm jumping on the bandwagon because I haven't even seen The Tourist ... [but] who has?"
He also joked that the only reason Jolie was nominated for a Golden Globe was because the organisers "accepted bribes".
Jolie said her partner Brad Pitt and brood of six adoptive and biological children joined her on The Tourist shoot, and credited them with keeping her grounded.
"We make a point to stay together as a family, because this town ... you've got to, you've got to make the effort," Jolie said.
"We take turns working, so everybody packed up and moved to Venice."
She may have enjoyed filming The Tourist, but Jolie said she also relished her recent role as a director on an as-yet-untitled love story set during the Bosnian war of the 1990s.
"I loved shining the spotlight on someone else and I loved watching the other actors and actresses work, and just sitting there behind the monitor," Jolie said of the film, which is due to be released later this year.
"I hope I can do it again."
Jolie also took the time to proffer some advice to Sandilands's absent co-host, new mum Jackie O, congratulating her on the recent birth of her daughter Catalina (Kitty) Mae Henderson.
"Just to enjoy every minute of it, because it goes so fast," she warned.
"It is the best time in your life, and strap them to you and sleep in the same bed with them ... and just love every second. Congratulations Jackie."

Online radio aggregator, Radionomy, has acquired both Winamp and Shoutcast from AOL. A source close to TechCrunch has said that Radionomy paid somewhere between $5 million and $10 million.
The deal included a 12% stake in Radionomy for AOL, too. AOL purchased Nullsoft, the creator of Winamp and Shoutcast, for $80 million back in 1999. So to sell them for close to 10% of that must hurt. Acquiring Winamp and Shoutcast is a boon for Radionomy, as it will make them one of the bigger competitors in the online radio business.

Remember back when PSY's "Gangnam Style" made him the first artist to reach 1 billion views on Youtube? Well, now he's the first artist to reach TWO billion views on Youtube, with the K-pop king's viral video officially crossing the two billion mark earlier today.
To celebrate the good news, PSY has announced that the music video for his next single "Hangover" will officially premiere on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on June 8, followed by the song's digital release the following day.
The "Hangover" music video apparently stars Snoop Dogg, as well as K-pop star G-Dragon from boy band BIGBANG, so it should be just as much fun as PSY's last few videos.
Although "Gangnam Style" follow-up "Gentleman" didn't match the viral success of its predecessor, it still broke a handful of Youtube records and has been viewed 690 million times to date, proving that PSY still has a lot of strength as a viral artist.

Measurement and Interview Error
Return to Data Cleaning
Mistakes originating in the question, from
measurement, or from incorrect questionnaire responses are difficult to detect unless they
are out of range. This is similar to the situation for coding errors. They may be readily apparent as outliers when the researcher

Interview with Ben Day
Submitted by 303admin on
This month 303Cycling is interviewing Ben Day, pro cyclist and current cycling coach with Day by Day Cycle Coaching. Ben's one of those "been there done that" having raced in many big events over the globe, even the World Championships. This interview not only exposes who Ben Day is but also a little about coaching. For those who have never had a coach and are still trying to reach higher goals you should strongly consider finding a Colorado Cycling Coach because they can make a huge difference! Coaching isn't just for racers, its for anyone who wants higher results on the bike because sometimes that doesn't always mean more hours on the saddle... read on.
[303Cycling] You are from Australia, what got you to drop roots in Boulder Colorado?
I was born in Australia and never left the country until 2001. That year I ventured off for Italy and I subsequently spent the next six years in Europe, racing some of the biggest races in the world. I have been fortunate to race in 4 World Championships (10th in 2003) and one Commonwealth Games representing my country, but my two ultimate goals are left unfulfilled – racing the Tour and the Olympics. In 2007, I needed a change from the Euro scene – as a foreigner there, you have to be something pretty special to have good support and I was sick of being jerked around. I came to the US to race for Navigators and it was great to work in a more modern environment. We had a good race calendar and I really enjoyed racing in the US and in Europe. Before moving to the US, I spoke to my Australian cycling friends to ask where they recommended I live. I ended up with a choice between Boulder and San Diego….I like the idea of the mountains and training at altitude and I chose Boulder. Now I realize how lucky I am to be able to live in what is one of my favorite cities in the world. It certainly is an enigma and a place that is unique. Last year I purchased a condo in North Boulder and I am looking forward to spending a lot of time here.
[303Cycling] What are the benefits of training in Boulder?
Everyone immediately thinks of the altitude benefits when considering training in Boulder. It is a well documented fact that the oxygen starved air of high altitudes places additional stresses on your body which is forced to adapt by becoming more efficient in the uptake of oxygen into the muscles. But what I think a lot of people don't take into consideration is that this lack of O2 has a down-side. That your muscles are quicker to fatigue. Hence, you essentially can't train with same power for the same amount of time as what you would do at sea-level. Yes, it is a benefit to train at altitude, but if your training is not considered correctly, I think you can actually go backwards up here.
Altitude aside, the environs of Boulder are very inducive to a healthy lifestyle. With more sunny days than California, a city full of people who love the outdoors, a plethora of good, healthy eating and bucket load of cyclists to find inspiration, to me, Boulder is cycling's mecca!
[303Cycling] What are the fundamental mistakes amateur cyclist make?
The hardest thing to introduce to an amateur cyclist is to find what their balance between overtraining and undertraining. It is a fact that there are more overtrained athletes in this world and what I like to remind amateur cyclists, at least the ones who have full time jobs and families, that cycling is something that they have to love and be passionate about in order to continue. No one wants to do something that becomes a chore to them.
I notice also that a lot of athletes, professionals and amateurs, underestimate the importance of base training in the beginning of the season. It is imperative to consistent performance, progression and health. You may get sick in July because you were training with too much intensity in February. Base training is really the foundation to your whole season and once it's established, the body becomes capable of handling so much more stress.
[303Cycling] What advice would you give a new cyclist interested in doing something like Triple Bypass
For a cyclist tackling something like the Triple Bypass for the first time, what is most important in the lead up is a steady consistent progression of training. First, recognize your goals and keep this in mind each week as you slowly ride longer and with a little more intensity. A good guide is to increase the mileage by up to 10% each week. Include climbing in your training with a progression to the length of these climbs. With two weeks to go, you should be in a position to replicate portions of the ride. In the final week, rest up a little more than usual as the body's physiological adaptations to training requires two weeks to take place – there is no point in trying to jam something in to make up for lost time. Eat well the final days before the ride with plenty of carbs and be well prepared, body and bike, on the start line. Go out there, push yourself, achieve your goals and congratulate yourself with a pat on the back and a cold beer!
[303Cycling] Why should someone consider having a coach?
I have worked with and without coaches throughout my cycling career. On occasion, certain methods have worked for me for a period of time, and others have not. What a coach can bring to an athlete is firstly a relationship in which the coach wants to do the best thing for that athlete, by having another perspective of what is going on with their training and life influences – who hasn't gone out and overtrained before? A good coach will also bring a structured program to the client, with steady progression towards season and career goals, creating motivation and purpose to every day, every week and every month of training.
Cycling is a sport where people want to push the limits of what they are capable of, whether it be win a race, complete the Triple Bypass, or climb up to Brainard Lake, and there is no easy way to get fitter. But there is always a smarter, more efficient way to achieve lofty goals. A coach can be there to share these goals with you, to advise you, to give you motivation and to learn with you the subtleties of your unique body's response to training.

Dallas Ranks Among Smelliest Cities on the Planet
That's according to GQ. And "scent critic" Chandler Burr means "smelliest" in the best possible way: Cities, like people, have their own smell, their own body odors and perfumes that take on personalities. Dallas is one of the strangest scents I have ever encountered. Highways of strip malls and gas stations and exit signs. Insanely […]Read More
