Mascom unveils signature centre
INNOVATIONS| July 6, 2012, 11:33 a.m.
By John Churu, Gaborone, Botswana
Mascom Wireless Botswana has unveiled its technologically advanced Innovation Centre (MIC) which is its signature structure in the country to date.
During an interview with Biztechafrica, Bonolo Gababotse, Mascom's Chief Technical Officer, said contrary to previous media reports, the centre is not going to be the headquarters for Mascom.
"This massive three storey infrastructure here is the new data centre for Mascom Wireless, which doubles up as the organisation's technical hub as well," he told Biztechafrica.
According to world ICT infrastructure rankings, this latest Mascom Innovation Centre has been awarded a tier 3 rating, meaning, the building has received a class two rating. Gababotse said there are 4 tier ratings, with tier 4 being the topmost while tier 1 is the least.
The centre has been built constructed at a "very secure environment, with most of the structures having followed rigorous environmental friendliness requirement," added Gababotse who also doubled as the tour guide around the complex.
The tower itself is was designed in such a way that it is an aesthetical embodiment of its surroundings, he says, thus making it environmentally friendly.
In addition, the shape of the tower is one of its kind in Africa and has moved away from the traditional palm-tree-look of the previous Mascom towers.
Since 1988 Mascom Wireless, Botswana's leading telecommunications provider, has established a formidable history of innovation and customer service that is well-known and recognized throughout the country.
Providing the widest coverage in Botswana, Mascom reaches over 95% of the population, with a subscriber base of over 1.59 Million customers.
Mascom customers will be glad to hear that breakdowns in network transmission owing to power outages will be a thing of the past, because the new centre has taken care of all the technological glitches that might dent network operations.
On standby are two diesel generators with a 14 000 litre capacity each to provide backup 24 hours a day.
According to Barbara Tshipana, Mascom Wireless' public relations and communications officer, the Mascom Innovation Center is a first of its kind in Botswana.
She says it includes several features that set it apart.
These, she says, include the following:
* it is an over USD25 million facility comprising a three-storey state of the art and highly modern design,
* a 54 metres high, 3 legged, very unique and iconic transmission telecommunications tower, and
* a building designed conscious of the environment with technologically advanced equipment installations

NATO investigates deadly Afghanistan copter crash
Washington: As the US mourned the death of its
30 soldiers, including Navy SEALs from the broader unit that
killed Osama bin Laden, in a chopper crash in Afghanistan, a
probe has been launched to determine the exact cause of the
incident that led to the biggest single loss for American
troops in the decade-long war.
"No words describe the sorrow we feel in the wake of this
tragic loss" of 38 lives -- 30 US troops, seven Afghan
commandos and an interpreter, General John R Allen,
International Security Assistant Force Commander (ISAF), said
in a statement from Kabul.
Following the crash yesterday, the Afghan Taliban claimed
that its militants shot down the helicopter in Wardak province
of Afghanistan, according to SITE intelligence.
Among those killed in the deadliest attack on the foreign
troops were 25 US special operations forces troops, including
22 Navy SEALS from the same group which was involved in the
covert US military operation to kill al-Qaeda leader Osama bin
Laden in May this year. But none of the SEAL members, who died
yesterday, were personally involved in the Osama operation.
Besides, five more US soldiers, seven Afghan troops and an
interpreter died in the crash of the helicopter during an
anti-Taliban operation.
"All of those killed in this operation were true heroes
who had already given so much in the defence of freedom,"
Allen said.
An investigation is underway to determine the exact cause
of the crash, the ISAF statement said.
"This tragic incident, once again reminds us of the
tremendous sacrifices the brave soldiers of our two countries
are making every day alongside each other to bring peace and
security to our nations and to make the world a safer place
for all of us," Afghan Ambassador to the US, Eklil Hakimi,
Senate Majority Leader, Harry Reid, said: "Their
sacrifice will not be in vain. Every single day, our men and
women in uniform put their lives at risk to defend our nation
and make the world a safer place."
The tragedy "is a sobering reminder of their selfless
commitment to our nation," he said.
"This tragedy is felt by all Americans, and especially by
our men and women in uniform, who continue to do more than
their fair share to keep America safe," said Senator John
Senator Joe Lieberman mourned the loss of "the brave
heroes in Afghanistan who have paid the ultimate sacrifice so
that we may be safe and free."
"The American patriots who we lost today were among the
very best of our best, and they were fighting in a just and
necessary war. They served with extraordinary courage and
talent, dedicating their lives to our nation."

It's never good when a party committee is denounced by a member of its own party. But that's what happened Wednesday, when the Senate campaign of GOP Rep. Tom Cotton of Arkansas denounced as "bizarre and offensive" an attack from the National Republican Senatorial Committee on the religious faith of Sen. Mark Pryor, D-Ark.
Pryor, widely believed to be the nation's most vulnerable incumbent Democrat, launched a television ad on Wednesday clutching a Bible and calling it "my compass, my North Star."
NRSC Communications Director Brad Dayspring, known across Washington for his aggressive style, wrote a blog post about some of Pyror's past comments about the Bible, including a statement last year that it "is really not a rule book for political issues."
"So is the Bible Mark Pryor's compass, providing the 'comfort and guidance to do what's best for Arkansas?' Or is it really not a good rule book for political issues and decisions made in the Senate? Guess it depends on which Mark Pryor that you ask," Dayspring wrote.
Predictably, Pryor's campaign objected. More interestingly, so too did Cotton's campaign team.
"That is an incredibly bizarre and offensive email from the NRSC's press secretary," Cotton spokesman David Ray said in an email. "We should all agree that America is better off when all our public officials in both parties have the humility to seek guidance from God."
It's relatively rare for a candidate to openly rebuke his own party committee. But Dayspring's quick sharp tongue and quick retorts have already caused some headaches for the NRSC. Earlier this year, he said Kentucky Democratic Senate candidate Alison Lundergan Grimes was an "empty dress." Democrats have pounced on the remark and used it to build the case that Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and the GOP campaign are "sexist."
After Cotton's denunciation, Dayspring said in an email, "Tom Cotton is a good man who puts Arkansas first."

Hillary Clinton hopes that television ratings for the candidates' acceptance speeches at their respective conventions aren't foreshadowing of similar results at the polls in November. Preliminary results from the networks and cable channels show that 34.9 million people tuned in for Donald Trump's acceptance speech while 33.3 million watched Clinton accept the Democratic nomination. However, it is still possible that the numbers are closer than these ratings suggest: the numbers don't include ratings from PBS or CSPAN, which tend to attract more Democratic viewers.

Homers in the gloamin' lead to loss for OPRF softball
3-1 lead in seventh washed out by two dingers
|Share on Facebook
|Share on Twitter
It was the late-inning long balls that decided Wednesday evening's softball game between OPRF and Riverside-Brookfield.
The Huskies fell to the Bulldogs 4-3 as RB (10-4) put three runs on the board in the seventh inning, via home runs.
"It was our best comeback of the year," said Bulldogs head coach John Vermillion. "Our team has the capability to hit the long ball, and we just tried to hit line drives get base runners."
With the Huskies up 3-1 to start the seventh inning, Bulldogs junior Ashlee Haugh got things started with a solo shot to left field to bring her team within one. After junior Anibelle Gardiner popped out to OPRF first baseman Jenna Rouse, senior Tierney Duffy singled to left center. With two outs, Becky Mantel hit a pop-up in foul territory that slipped through Rouse's glove to keep the inning alive. The next pitch she sent over the fence, scoring the game winner.
"I was telling myself: 'Down and hard, you have to get this, look for the (pitch) that you like,' and I found it," said Mantel. "I was focused, I really wanted it. I knew I had to execute and get the run in."
Things looked promising for the Huskies (9-6) in the sixth inning as they took a 2-1 lead on an RBI single off the bat of Rouse to score junior second baseman Samantha Davidson, who had led the inning off with a single. With one on and two outs, senior outfielder Caitlin Bell reached on an error by Duffy to knock in junior shortstop Valerie Cundari and give the Huskies a 3-1 lead. Despite the big inning, OPRF still couldn't overcome their troubles of leaving runners on base. The team stranded a total of nine runners in the game.
"We left a lot of runners on base in critical situations," said Huskies head coach Mel Kolbusz. "(The Bulldogs) won the game, and we helped them out. We have to be better with finishing games and not making so many mistakes."
Rouse went 2-for-3 with an RBI for the Huskies, while Bell was 1-for-2 with an RBI. Junior outfielder Dana Alcock finished 2-for-3 with an RBI groundout to Duffy in the first inning to put the Huskies on the board.
Mantel went 1-for-3 with two RBI for the Bulldogs, while senior Kelly Rusen went 1-for-3 with an RBI double in the fifth inning to knock in Haugh, who led the frame off with a single. Haugh was 2-for-3, and her home run was the key to the seventh inning comeback, according to Mantel.
"It gave us good momentum to know that we're still in the game," she said. "To know that we can still get it done, that we are the Bulldogs and we will come out and we're ready. We needed that momentum and when Ashlee hit that home run it got us riled up and ready to go."

In Search of Beethoven
Ludwig Van Beethoven
Open iTunes to preview, buy and download this film.
About the Film
In Search of Beethoven offers a comprehensive documentary about the life and works of the great composer. Over 65 performances by the world's finest musicians were recorded and 100 interviews conducted in the making of this beautifully crafted film. It delves beneath the mythical image of the tortured, cantankerous genius to search for the real Ludwig van Beethoven. Juliet Stevenson narrates this documentary account of the life of composer Ludwig von Beethoven, covering all the major highlights from his birth in 1770 through his death in 1827. Writer-director Phil Grabsky opts for an impressionistic approach, building much of the film around the basic foundational material of interviews and studio performances of the great man's work by artists including Ronald Brautigam, Emanuel Ax, and The Mahler Chamber Orchestra. Grabsky also offsets Stevenson's traditional chronicle of Beethoven's life with letters from the composer, read by David Dawson, that unveil an intense and almost belligerent side to the musical giant, leavened with offbeat humour.
Customer Reviews
Extraordinary film.
Five star!
Good documentary
If you're interested in what made Beethoven great, and how his composing and his life story are intertwined then this is a great documentary. Its long, but I never really got bored at all. I certainly appreciate his greatness and his music more for watching this.

This picture was taken February 18, 2012 @ Buena Vista Off Leash Park.
To get to Buena Vista, go to Storyland Valley Zoo and instead of turning right into the Zoo make a left. Follow the road down and take your first left into the parking lot. Walk your dog into the open area. The Google map is not correct, so just go by my directions. I will be set up at the picnic table inside the park.
We will be starting our walk at 2:00 p.m. sharp, so please give yourselves lots of time as parking is at a premium at this park. There is also parking behind the Zoo and street parking across from the Zoo, but then it will take another 10 minutes walking time to get to where we are meeting up.
If you get lost or are going to be late, call me on my cell. I'll only have it on for the walk. [780 690-5256].
As a reminder, if you bring treats for your dog, please do not feed them to other dogs as they may have allergies to certain things. And please give your dog treats away from the other dogs as it's unfair for one dog to get and the others not. Thanks.
Looking forward to seeing you and your pooch(es) on Sunday, March 23rd at 2:00 p.m. to walk the walk; talk the talk and bark the bark!

Highlight package from FAU football's 2-16 Spring Game.
When the Florida Atlantic Owls took the field as the first FAU football team in 2001, they were led onto the field by legendary coach Howard Schnellenberger. The Owls' first season wasn't too much of a success – FAU's first football team finished its inaugural season at 4-5 – but it didn't take long for Howard Schnellenberger to march the FAU Owls down a winning road.
FAU football posted its first winning record in 2003. That was the year the Florida Atlantic Owls reached the quarterfinals of the NCAA Division I-AA playoffs. Howard Schnellenberger wasn't satisfied with being a successful I-AA program, though. The year after that big run, FAU football began the transition process to the Bowl Championship Series.
Florida Atlantic football entered the Sun Belt Conference, winning the conference title in 2007, their second year of full-fledged Division I-A competition. By virtue of winning the Sun Belt Conference title, the Florida Atlantic Owls also nabbed their first bid. The Owls made the most of it as Howard Schnellenberger guided the FAU football team to a 44-27 victory over Memphis in the New Orleans Bowl.
FAU earned its second bowl bid the following season and kept its bowl record unblemished by defeating Central Michigan 24-21 in the Motor City Bowl.
Florida Atlantic football will attempt to build on its already impressive record during this season. As always, check with Owl Access to see how the Florida Atlantic Owls do.

Slide Deck from Gene Dragotta and Sachin Agarwal's Cloud Expo Presentation: A Peek into the Future of Mobile-Enabled Health Care
While unprecedented technological advances have been made in healthcare in areas such as genomics, digital imaging and Health Information Systems, access to this information has not been easy for both the healthcare provider and the patient themselves. Regulatory compliance and controls, information lock-in in proprietary Electronic Health Record systems and security concerns have made it difficult to share data across health care providers.
The opportunities inherent in mobile technology are dramatically changing the way healthcare business gets done. Healthcare provider professionals are adopting mobile devices and tablets as an alternative to desktops/laptops and using mobile applications to augment gaps in existing patient management system capabilities. Developing mobile applications for the healthcare industry has some unique challenges, particularly protecting your backend data services while making them available to mobile application frameworks and SDKs.
Mobile applications utilize messaging patterns similar to the client/server and AJAX patterns, however unlike desktop clients, mobile devices have to minimize client side processing to maximize battery life and also keep network chatter to a basic minimum. This is achieved by using RESTful APIs with machine-readable formats like JSON. The availability, reliability and performance of these API-based services are critical to the successful deployment and operating of your application. Now add some healthcare domain requirements (encryption, security, etc.,) to this environment and there is a lot of work to do in addition to the actual coding of your mobile application. An API management system will simplify exposing and consuming backend healthcare services through a variety of different channels. To successfully implement an API, you will need a tool that will enable simple enforcement of API controls, continuous monitoring capabilities, performance management, and assurance of high availability.
An API management system will typically provide capabilities for creating and registering service as follows:
- Secure API Services
- Manage API Lifecycles
- Mediate and Virtualize Services
- Govern Access to Services
- Integrate Services and their Data
- Support Authentication and Authorization for all APIs and Services, including OAuth, OpenID, SAML, Kerberos, WS-Security, LDAP and XACML
- Support for all Major Security Standards, including WS*and WS-I
The focus of this article is to discuss how a unified API management and SOA governance platform can accelerate your organization's ability to deliver reliable, scalable and secure mobile applications for healthcare providers. First we will begin with the major technical challenges encountered when deploying healthcare-based mobile applications. Then we will discuss API management and governance platform expectations that can help you overcome these challenges such as the following:
- Data Encryption
- Access Control - Role and Application-based Access
- Integration / Orchestration of data from Multiple Provider Systems
- Mediation
- Quality of Service Control
- Usage Analytics / Event Management
Security - Encryption, Authentication and Authorization
A PKI facilitates users, applications and systems to exchange insecure data safely by encrypting it prior to transmission. Unlike traditional cryptography that uses private keys also known as symmetric cryptography, the public key infrastructure utilizes public key cryptography or asymmetric cryptography. This is used to authenticate a user or manage message encryption.
With asymmetrical cryptography, a public and private key are created simultaneously using the same algorithm (such as RSA) by the certificate authority. The private key is given to the requesting party and the public key is made publicly available (embedded within the certificate) in a location that all parties can access. The private key is used to decrypt text that has been encrypted with the public key. The certificate is used to authenticate the user.
Typically a PKI provides:
- A certificate authority (CA) who issues and verifies the digital certificate. A certificate includes the public key or information about the public key
- A registration authority (RA) acts as the verifier for the certificate authority before a digital certificate is issued to a requestor
- Persistent storage of the certificates and keys
- A certificate management system (creation, import, export, revocation, etc.)
In addition to authenticating with a validated digital certificate, using SAML, an SSO token, basic HTTP authentication, an X.509 certificate, an application token or a third-party IAM system are all popular approaches that can be used to securely connect your mobile application to back-end systems and data services residing with the HIE enterprise.
When health provider personnel authenticate themselves on systems that access patient health records; it's likely that different employees will require and qualify for various levels of data access based on their job description. For this reason, a role-based authentication / authorization framework is recommended. For example, the front office personnel may only have a need to see basic information such as patient demographics, insurance and medication information and a nurse might be required to have access to the entire patient's medical record. Having a framework for implementing role-based access will easily help filter and mask patient data attributes from un-authorized use.
Mediation and Service Orchestration
Where are your patient's medical records, how many sources of data needed to be aggregated, transformed and merged to assemble them, what formats of data do these sources of patient record fragments support etc.? Architects and developers typically face these questions when working with multiple systems both internally and externally to assemble a patient's holistic and contiguous health history or continuity of care document (HL7 CCD). Often developer are using integration engines such as Rhapsody, Mirth, etc., to transform HL7 messages, legacy EDI messages, database data, along with other source of patient information into in XML and usually exposed via a SOAP service.
Most mobile UX frameworks support some form of a model-view-controller runtime design pattern or at a minimum provide a way to perform an XMLHttpRequest to retrieve data. Whether using an MVC pattern or a lower-level URL request, REST is the preferred method (over SOAP) primarily for the simplicity of setting up the request. A SOAP service will return an XML document. When using a JavaScript-based framework such as Sencha Touch, using JSON for data objects is usually preferred. The mobile app framework's data store component prefers the use of a REST service and the data it returns to be in JSON format. With this approach, the integration engine is providing a SOAP/XML service, unless we re-write and convert the SOAP service to a REST service, the mobile application will need to mediate between the SOAP and REST protocols and XML and JSON object formats.
In addition to mediation, service orchestration and the creation of compound services are a common requirement for health care oriented mobile applications. As an example, in order to create a patient's HL7 CCD, patient data usually resides within multiple systems, data service requests (primitives) to these systems will need to be orchestrated to form the resulting CCD dataset. In some cases, data returned from some of the primitive service requests may require some transformation or may be used as input to a subsequent request. Encapsulating and abstracting multiple primitive requests and any associated logic into a single composite service operation will reduce overall mobile application implementation complexity and message traffic between the mobile device and the HIE data center.
Policy-based Governance Controls for API Services
In most cases, we probably want different licenses with different levels of service (and access) to the backend APIs that enable our mobile applications. The levels of service could be measured in throughput, the bandwidth consumed over time, concurrency and availability.
Within the realm of health care you might want to have some specific controls or governance policies regarding the use of the HIE's back-end system services or APIs. Below are some QoS and SLA examples.
- Allow APIs to be called no more than 10 times per minute per device
- Allow devices to consume no more than 100MB per hour
- Prevent devices from outside the trusted country list (user-defined)
- Allow devices with this IP address range x.x.x.x-x.x.x.x to access the service layer
- Prevent Denial-of-Service attacks with quota management and white/blacklisting
- Only allow certain APIs to be called by specific user roles
The back-end services within the HEI should be deployed within an infrastructure that can provide a similar level of API governance.
Usage Analytics
In order to understand how your HEI back-end service layer is performing and being utilized by its application consumers, the API management platform should provide access to real-time API usage statistics, API status and event and SLA violation monitoring. These analytics can be used for troubleshooting, performance tuning, threat detection and various usage reports.
Most enterprises utilize a dashboard and reporting system that ingests telemetry data from a variety of systems within the enterprise. Data from these systems are combined to create a complete picture of enterprise system activity. Therefore it may become important to have a capability that can export or publish API management system telemetry data to an enterprise activity monitoring system or reporting data warehouse.
Healthcare-focused mobile applications contain complex use cases and have strict operational requirements. Security models, message protocol mediation services, service usage statistic collection, data transformations and service orchestration functions are all features that can easily be added to your mobile application by leveraging and integrating an API management and governance system with your service oriented architecture.

Early adopters of IoT viewed it mainly as a different term for machine-to-machine connectivity or M2M. This is understandable since a prerequisite for any IoT solution is the ability to collect and aggregate device data, which is most often presented in a dashboard. The problem is that viewing data in a dashboard requires a human to interpret the results and take manual action, which doesn't scale to the needs of IoT.

Fallen Mo. trooper's benefits denied to life partner
Corporal Dennis Engelhard was with his partner for 15 years
ST. LOUIS, Mo. — The recent death of a Missouri Highway Patrol trooper is putting the rights of same sex couples in Missouri under a microscope. The long-time partner of Corporal Dennis Engelhard believes he should receive death benefits.
43 year old Kelly Glossip says he and Engelhard were together for nearly 15 years. Yet, he says he's being ignored when it comes to the agencies who normally reach out to the families of fallen law enforcement officers.
"He was my true love and he always referred to me as his one and only true love and the man of his dreams," Glossip said. "We were hopelessly in love with each other." Engelhard was killed on Christmas day while waiting with the driver of a disabled car for a tow truck. He got out of his vehicle and was hit by a passing SUV. It happened on Interstate 44 in Eureka.
Glossip now feels he's been left out in the cold when it comes to financial benefits normally paid to the families of officers killed in the line of duty. He says he has not been contacted by any of the groups that normally offer those benefits.

I recommend Dr. Tsan. He is very professional.Great doctor, acupuncturist, homeopath and hypnotist. Stop smoking hypnosis works very well. It helped me, my husband and my sister. Hi quality medical care at Dr. Tsan's medical center. My daughter was addicted to cocaine before we came to Dr. Tsan's medical center. After he talk to her for about 10 minutes she said that she likes him and she is absolutely confident that he can help her. Since that time she never sniffed cocaine again.. Victor Tsan, MD is our "family physician". Since I met him first time about 10 years ago, I brought my mom, my dad, my sister, my nice and my uncle to him. It's ashamed that health insurance does not cover alternative medicine treatments. It's pretty much expensive, but when we come to Dr. Tsan we are confident that the treatment will work and with no side effects.

I came to Philadelphia Hypnotherapy Clinic seeking for professional help for heroin addiction. My childhood was rough and since 14 years old, I used drugs. The addiction was so strong – I could not resist. A few times, I stopped and then started again. Rehab did not help at all. I could not wait to leave the facility and get my next IV. Thanks to Google, I found Dr. Tsan – hypnotherapist and medical doctor. After very first session, I felt much better and after 6 sessions, I lost any interest in drugs. I am clean now for more than a year. I have family, kids and I am happy that I met Dr. Tsan
Dr. Tsan is very experienced specialist. He is first of all medical doctor and only secondary holistic practitioner. That means, that he has strong medical background, he understands the medical problem from scientific point of view and then he uses his holistic approach to fix them. I'm his patient for more than 10 years and all I can say - He is great.

Ross Webber spent 46 years living a hermit-like existence on remote Puangiangi Island in the Marlborough Sounds.
Now aged 82, Ross has finally settled down in Torbay on Auckland's North Shore with wife Jean, who is 45 years his junior.
In 1957 the then 27-year-old Nelson native bought the narrow, hilly island which sits 45 minutes by boat from the nearest settlement of French Pass.
He cleared the scrub, built up a sheep farm and eventually - starting with a corrugated iron shed - built a two-bedroom house.
But in 2004, at the age of 73, he decided he was too old to be running the farm alone and put the island on the market.
After a multimillion-dollar sale that attracted national and international media interest, Webber flew to Auckland and boarded the Discovery, the first of three cruise ships he would sail on for a year.
He became a talking point among guests, with a documentary on his life on the island being screened at the on-board movie theatre.
"I visited 43 different countries. Some I didn't like very much, some I did."
Samoa was one destination that impressed him and after returning to Auckland, Webber flew back there to spend nearly a month on the Pacific island.
But a chance remark by the owner of a Nelson guest house where he was staying led him to romance and a new home.
The owner told him he should meet her cousin Jean in the Philippines.
"I'd spoken to Jean on the phone a few times. I went over, and we decided to get married."
They have been happy together ever since.
The couple returned to New Zealand in 2007 but, because of a protracted dispute over the sale of the island, were only able to buy their first home together about six months ago, in Torbay.
Webber said he might like to move back to Nelson but says Jean prefers Auckland.
"I've never liked it here, dreadful weather," Webber said.
He was finally able to resell the island in June this year to Wellington-based charitable trust Fauna Recovery New Zealand, which plans to turn it into a reserve.
Webber said he and Jean went back to the island once but it was a sad experience.
"It was very depressing to see it. It was all over-run, the fruit trees I had planted were dead. We couldn't get in [to the house] because it was all locked up."
These days Webber enjoys watching cricket and working in his garden. He has no regrets about leaving his island.
"I was too old to stay there. I needed a change."

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. — Virginia Senator Jim Webb appeared to question Mitt Romney's decision to serve his church instead going to war in Vietnam at an Obama campaign rally Thursday morning.
In discussing his own decorated service in the Marine Corps during Vietnam, the Democrat noted to thousands of Obama supporters that there were those who didn't serve, while delivering a biting critique of Romney's charge that that 47 percent of Americans are dependent on government — a figure which includes veterans.
"This was a time when every American male was eligible to be drafted," Webb recounted for the audience of 1969 — the year he served in Vietnam. "People made choices about how to deal with the draft. And about military service. I have never envied or resented any of the choices that were made as long as they were done according to the law. But those among us who stepped forward to face the harsh unknowns and the lifelong changes that come from combat, did so with the belief that their service would be honored. That our leaders would — in the phraseology of Abraham Lincoln — care for those who borne the battle and for their widows and for their children."
Speaking of the veterans getting help when they return home, Webb, who is not seeking re-election, issued a rebuke to Romney: "In receiving veterans benefits they are not takers — they are givers."

Offensive tackle Eric Winston is the new head of the players' union. He might be my favorite current player on Twitter, thanks to occasional actual insightful football comments. Let's hope he's as smart when it comes to labor issues. Winston played in Arizona a year ago and is currently a free agent.

What's the role of the president?
I'm assuming President is different to the role held by Ed Garvey, Gene Upshaw, DeMaurice Smith
DeMaurice Smith is the Executive Director, as were the predecessors you listed. The article says the President has to be an active player when elected.
The 2015 Saints were the worst defense we have ever measured, and Brandon Browner set a single-season record for penalties, so it's no surprise to see him at the bottom of the coverage tables.

Navy SEAL Jared Ogden spent a day training Mason. They went through demolition and sniper training, and during their lunch break, Mason led the SEALs on a mission that included detonating a real bomb and clearing three rooms in search of the Taliban leader.
