Hey Dougie,
What are your thoughts on Magic Man Malignaggi VS Amir Khan fight this Saturday? I got Malignaggi winning a UD. I'm still suspect on Khan, he was knocked out by Breidis Prescott in 2008 who has now lost his last 2 fights, he beat an ancient Marco Antonio Barrera, and beat Andreas Kotelnik and Dmitry Salita (who?) in his last 2 fights. This is a step-up for Khan and I don't think he has what it takes to pass the test. We'll see.
I'm taking the younger and fresher Vicious Victor Ortiz by TKO in Rd. 9 on the undercard; but I would most definitely not take Nate Campbell lightly. He just might be a sleeping giant with something to prove against the 2008 Prospect of the Year. Thanks Dougie. — Saul
The Ortiz-Campbell fight is a tough call (and because of that I'm really looking forward to the fight). Both guys are in need of a statement but I have to imagine that Campbell is the more desperate of the two. He doesn't have youth on his side, which is probably why I'm going with Ortiz by decision. Well, youth and size are my main reasons for picking Vic.
Ortiz is huge. I look at him a natural welterweight who is young enough to make 140 pounds. I look at Campbell as a natural lightweight who is too old to make 135 pounds.
I agree that Malignaggi is Khan's toughest test (although Kotelnik was just as accomplished as the New Yorker, the Ukrainian lacks the Magic Man's athleticism), but I think Khan will pass it. Maybe not with flying colors, but I think the young man's talent is near off the charts. And he's put the work in with Roach to properly harness that wicked combination of speed and power. Malignaggi is used to being the faster man in the ring. That won't be the case tomorrow night. I think Khan will beat Malignaggi to the punch, hurt him more than once, and outmaneuver him at times to clinch a unanimous decision. I'm not saying Malignaggi won't have his moments but I don't think he has the power or puts on the kind of pressure needed to take Khan out.
I wish I could watch Katsidis-Mitchell live on TV, too. Katsidis epitomizes the term "ring warrior." I think he'll keep his interim title with a late stoppage or by close, bloody decision tomorrow.
Hey Dougie, What's good?
Many of Khan's critics point to the KO loss against Prescott but do you think that like Pacquiao (who'd been KO'd before he met Roach) the theories of a questionable chin can be disregarded eventually?
If Khan gets by Malinaggi I'd like to see him fight Ortiz vs Campbell winner on the Bradley card (who should fight either Alexander or Berto). That will set up a huge bout for the light welterweight championship.
Katsidis KO – This is SPARTA! There is going to be war in London's East End but eventually Katsidis will land one of his Tysonesque shots which will turn the lights out for Mitchell.
Ortiz KO – Campbell's had a helluva long lay-off. He'll be gassed after 3 or 4 rounds.
Who you picking? — Akhil, UK
Inactivity isn't good for fighters, young or old, but it takes an extra toll on the reflexes of the aged. I think Ortiz was smart to take that February tune up. He got in close to 10 rounds of stick-and-move practice and is now two fights removed from the Maidana beating, which should help his confidence. I think he'll box patiently and pick his shots while stepping around Campbell. I don't expect Ortiz to fight Campbell the way Juan Diaz, or even Tim Bradley, did. My guess is that he wants to go the distance, which isn't to say that he won't hurt Campbell. Ortiz's left hand hits like a sledgehammer.
I think Katsidis will gradually grind down Mitchell, who is a decent boxer.
If Khan beats Malingaggi and Ortiz beats Campbell I think Khan-Ortiz is the fight the folks at Golden Boy want next. However, Khan's trainer Freddie Roach, who does have influence, would rather his young stud take on Marcos Maidana in his next bout. I won't complain about either matchup. Both Ortiz and Maidana are dangerous outings for Khan because of their punching power.
Regarding Khan's chin, I don't think it's world-class and I don't think it will ever be. He was dropped by light punchers and smaller older fighters before Prescott caught him with that mean left hook. I've seen him wobbled more than once in sparring sessions with heavy handed dudes. However, just because he's not Jake LaMotta in the chin department doesn't mean he won't have an excellent career. Fortunately, Khan has the physical tools and body dimensions to protect his chin. All he has to do is tuck that chin, work behind that long, fast jab of his and move his feet when necessary. Honestly, the only time Khan gets caught is when he gets too aggressive for his own good.
Malignaggi's main chance to clip Khan will be when the young beltholder gets macho or tries to take him out. If Khan sticks and moves from a distance, Malignaggi is going to have a frustrating night. However, both Roach and Khan have said that Malignaggi is getting knocked out, so maybe he'll get a clean shot at that suspect chin.
Hey Dougie, it's been a while since I've written in but I still read you three times a week and I admire the consistent quality and production of your work. Keep it up.
Amir Khan is not the real deal. Maidana, Alexander, and Bradley all put his ass on the canvas. Kaizer Mabuza puts him on the canvas. Juan Urango, Kendall Holt, Victor Ortiz, even Junior Witter…same result. Kid has good movement and hand speed, punches in combinations, decent defense, and does a good job of going into the ring with a plan and executing it. But he doesn't know how to BATTLE. Forget the weak chin for a second, I'm not convinced that he's got the character to deal the rough stuff or any kind of heavy adversity. Remember Manny Pacquiao's fight against Agapito Sanchez? No way Khan survives a night like that. Paulie won't expose him in what I expect to be a matchup of two guys dancing, feinting, and mostly punching each other in the gloves in an outside-of-the-pocket borefest, but his next opponent will.
David Haye's been mighty quiet recently, hasn't he? Haye-Tomasz Adamek is the HW fight I want to see more than any other, and for the sake of their health and their loved ones, I hope neither steps into the ring with Wladimir any time soon…
Kevin Mitchell vs. Michael Katsidis – who you got? Truly a coin toss in my mind and a classic "sh_t or get off the pot" moment for the popular you Brit. I hope he's up for the challenge, because in this reader's mind the Brits are going to be searching for their new 'face of boxing' around this time next year, when their two current weak chinned stars will have been exposed. — Jeremy
I got two words for you: Tyson Fury! (Just kidding)
I've got Katsidis in a typically good fight. Mitchell, who is a big lightweight, will outbox the Aussie and have his moments but I think the Greek warrior WILLS his way to victory.
Brits should fret, though. Froch will be back in the win column soon (either that or a fight of the year loss to King Abe), Nathan Cleverly will continue to develop and the two current stars of the UK — Haye and Khan — will provide the world some excellent high profile fights.
Haye vs. Adamek is the heavyweight fight I want to see most, too. I favor Adamek, but I wouldn't be shocked if Haye pulled that one out with his hand speed, unorthodox punching angles and lateral movement. I agree that Champ Wladdy would punish both former cruiserweight champs.
I think eventually Khan's shaky whiskers will cost him, but not until he faces the truly elite fighters of the 140- and 147-pound divisions. I believe his athletic ability and a stick-and-move style will serve him well against a lot of hard-hitters and fellow talents. And when it comes time for him to stand his ground and scrap, I think he'll surprise a lot of fans. From what I've seen at the Wild Card, Khan's got a lion's heart. It doesn't always serve him. I've seen him rocked by Abdulai Amidu while going toe to toe with the hard-punching Ghanaian, but I've also seen Amidu wobbled by Khan.
I realize gym wars are not the same thing as a prize fight, so who knows what we'll see when a top-level fighter forces Khan to fight rather than box? But I'm going to give the young man the benefit of the doubt until then.
Thanks for the kinds words at the start of your email.
What up Doug,
Anyway I feel PacMan has a great chance to land that right on Mayweather and hopefully he can throw that left hook at the same time as Money and we can get a great fight (or spectacular knockout). By having a few months to reflect on this whole issue of blood testing it doesn't seem the 14 days Mayweather offered is wrong. I never read on how long it takes Manny to recoup from a blood test. Does anyone know? If they can't make the fight how many people do you think would love to see Manny give Margarito a good old fashion ass whoopin for playin dirty! — Rio
A lot of people would like to see Margarito get his ass whupped, but most of those folks also become physically ill when they think about the money the Mexican mauler will make with such a fight.
I have no idea how long it take Pacquiao to recoup from having his blood taken and if there was any information on this subject floating around in cyber space I certainly wouldn't waste my time reading it.
I'm also not going to waste my time analyzing and pontificating on a fight that probably won't happen because of all the millionaire jerks involved.
If Mayweather-Pacquiao is made, great. I think Pacquiao poses stylistic problems for Mayweather and vice versa. It might be a compelling fight. But if the chief players get into negotiations and begin to fight over various issues again — blood testing, purse split, fight site, etc. — don't expect me to cover that s__t. It's not fair to real fight fans and all the boxers who are training their hearts out in preparation for bouts that will actually take place this year.
Pacquiao and Mayweather are the two best boxers of this generation and it would be a shame if they didn't fight, but if both retired tomorrow the sport would continue and it will eventually thrive once the new generation of fighters come of age (which will be soon).
Sorry Doug I had to write you again so soon. Can't resist 🙂
Floyd Mayweather Sr. was interviewed on radio, he was asked what he can say about his son fighting Sergio Martinez (a lefty):
Ohhhh ohhhhhh that's the real reason why he doesn't want his son to fight Pacquiao.
Now I am finally convinced why the steroid accusation came out:
Have you seen these old pictures of Pacquiao training? Saw some of it in the website where pachuggers and floydiots try to box each other to death, I hope you like it.
— Junx
Those old photos of the teenage Pacquiao are great.
I finally agree with Floyd Sr. on something. I also think his son has problems with southpaws. But I don't think that's why the old man made the steroid allegations. I think his ridiculous pride was hurt when Pacquiao smashed Ricky Hatton, who he was training, and did a better job of beating the Hitman and Oscar De La Hoya than his son did. I also think Pacquiao's speed and power at the higher weight classes freaks him out. He doesn't think it's possible, naturally — especially from some little Asian dude.
More than a few fans and American boxing writers share his suspicion. I'm not one of them. I think both Manny and Floyd are clean athletes, which is one of the reasons their impasse on drug testing is so f___ed up.
By the way, Mayweather fighting Sergio Martinez at middleweight or 154 pounds is BAD idea for the self-proclaimed G.O.A.T. He'd be better off fighting Paul Williams.
Dougie. Short and sweet, no time for pleasantries.
Margarito being lined up to fight Manny = What the fuck is that all about??!?!
The guy doesn't deserve the chance and from a fans perspective he was absolutely battered by Mosley not so long ago, what the f__k does that do for Manny's legacy?!?! Absolutely nothing.
If people are willing to say "forgive and forget" then are these people also willing to forgive convicted rapists (or other scums of society)? The guy was fighting with concrete in his gloves and has done chuffing nothing to suggest he's sorry for what happened.
This would be an absolute shambles for the sport, I for one hope Bob Arum simple f___s off if he's going to keep Manny aboard the gravy train rather than match him up against serious legit challenges… But god bloody forbid they fight under different promotional companies! And all the while we're being told to "f__k ourselves" over the shambolic treatment to us over Gamboa & JuanMa!
Apologies for the profanities, I'm just a tad bit angry at the very mention that this is even being mentioned. — Geoff, London
Even though I'm giving Margarito the benefit of the doubt on his knowledge of the attempted hand-wrap loading, I agree that he doesn't deserve a shot at Pacquiao and that a victory over the Mexican pressure fighter would do very little to enhance the Filipino icon's boxing legacy at this stage of their careers.
But you know the deal. Arum doesn't care what you or I think. He's thinking about selling tickets at Cowboys Stadium in Texas. Period.
If you want to send a message to the grumpy old man of boxing simply boycott the pay-per-view show of Pacquiao-Margarito if that fight is made. Hell, boycott all of Margarito's fights.
And do me a favor and give a little bit of hell to my fellow boxing writers who refuse to call Arum on s__t. Tell them it's OK to criticize major promoters other than Golden Boy Promotions once in a while.
Hey Doug,
Now that Lennox Lewis is done with HBO, I know who I want to take his spot. I think he's a world-class super middleweight (I expect him to get crushed in his next fight, but as of now I think he should be undefeate), but can Carl Froch please retire now and take over for Lennox? I can't think of a boxer I've ever enjoyed more on the other side of a microphone, and I'm not very new to the game. Can you? — Todd
Froch is one of the best interviews and boxer-analysts in the sport. He breaks things down in meticulous fashion like a lawyer but he tells it like it is and he's funny. The Cobra would make an excellent broadcaster but HBO won't hire a fighter who's never appeared on their network. Plus, Froch is not well-known or accomplished enough their boxer-commentator position, which has been held by legends like Sugar Ray Leonard, George Foreman, and Roy Jones Jr.
To be honest I'd love to see Leonard return to HBO's mic. I don't care if he's "old school," he's RAY damn it! I wouldn't mind Jones back on the B.A.D. air, either. I always enjoyed Roy's commentary, even when he was cheering for his friends.
I hear what you're saying about the correlation between fighters who lose and the sudden inability to make their usual weight. Hey, fighters need excuses. We all know this. If it was weight, then it would be the trainer, or the conditioning coach, or whoever. Few fighters are just going to admit they got beat by the better man, so they need to change something. Pavlik's changing his weight class, which at his height and age is probably an OK move (even though he probably would have stayed at 160 pound for at least one more fight had he beat Martinez).
I'm looking forward to watching Pavlik bump heads with super middleweights. How about Pavlik vs. Librado Andrade while we wait for the Super Six to play itself out?

Majesty of the Seas Cruise Review by cokelbl: First but not last cruise
Overall Member Rating
First but not last cruise
Destination: Bahamas
Embarkation: Miami
We just returned from a 4 night cruise on Majesty of the Seas. I was a little skeptical at first. I wasn't sure cruising was going to be for me. But by the last night in Key West I didn't want it to end. The staff was great. We worked with Garreth at the excursions desk and he helped us figure out exactly when and where to do all the things we wanted to do on the islands. He gave us the extra information we needed to make the right decisions. Maxine was our stateroom attendant and she was fabulous. Our room always looked great and she always had warm greeting for us in the hallway.
The excursions made the trip. We went to Blue Lagoon the first day in Nassau. The boat trip over was worth the price of the excursion all by itself. We sat on the beach, relaxed, and had a great lunch on the island. The next day we were in Coco Cay and that was my favorite day. We rented Cabanettes. They were way down on the quiet side of the island. We had our own bar right there, the More water was gorgeous, I couldn't have asked for more. And finally in Key West we went para-sailing and on the Conch Train. I was sad when we boarded the ship in Key West because it was all coming to an end.
I would say the only thing that wasn't great on the cruise was the food. There is a lot of it but it's average at best. It's all prepared ahead of time and kept warm. It's fine, but just don't go expecting high quality. Except for Johnny Rockets. You have to pay extra but the food is cooked when you order it and it's great.
I can't wait to go back. Less

Cabin review: F19058 Ocean View Stateroom
I was on the 9th floor in the middle of the ship. The room was small, but that's what I expected on a ship. It wasn't too small. We had plenty of room to move around. I loved the location of our room because it was an easy walk up and down stairs to the public locations on the ship like the pool, dining room, windjammer, etc... The elevators take forever so it was nice to be able to just take the stairs. And it was nice to be close to Windjammers when we wanted to go grab and drink and a snack. We were also just down the hall from the fitness center which made my husband happy. He used it everyday. I would try to find a room in this location again next time.Read All Ocean View Stateroom (F1) Reviews >>

When pigs fly - Remember when farmers stored hay loose in the hay mow, and the barn roof was extended on one end? A hay car ran the length of the barn and was attached to the ridge roof, and giant forks were used to haul hay up and into the hay mow. A team of horses at the opposite end of the barn was needed to pull the hay up and into the barn.
My father, Wes Stuart, was a farmer in northwest Ohio. A neighbor, Hub Conn, had asked my dad to help butcher a hog that was so big he could not handle it alone.
So, Dad and my brother, Owen, showed up one cold winter morning to help. Hub was ready for the butchering. He had a barrel of boiling water set up. Hogs were dipped in boiling water to loosen hair, then scraped as part of butchering.
A barrel was set up right below the hay mow window where they killed and bled the hog. The hog was trussed and attached to the hay car rope. A team of horses was ready to go at the other end of the barn. Hub's wife, Mary, was in charge of the horses.
Hub called to Mary, and she said, 'Giddy up.' The horses pulled forward, the pig was raised over the barrel, Mary backed up the team, and the hog was lowered into the water. My brother thought, 'Wow, this is a great way to raise and lower a hog.' It was a lot easier than struggling with a rope and tackle over a tree line.
When the hog was ready to be pulled out of the water, Hub yelled to Mary, and Mary pulled the team forward. That was a problem! The hog was wedged in the barrel, so the barrel and the hog rose off the ground. So, Dad and Hub found some two-by-fours and started banging on the barrel to release the hog.
This was a cold winter day, and the horses were jittery. The loud banging frightened the team, and they took off.
The hog, barrel and all, flew to the top of the barn and went through the hay loft, slammed into the far wall, broke through the wall and landed on the ground. My brother, who was a teenager at the time, was rolling on the ground, laughing. My father scolded Owen, and ordered him to stop laughing. Dad saw only a catastrophe: the broken hay car, a hole in the barn, and the runaway horses with broken harnesses. Dad knew that if this story was told, all the local farmers would torment Hub about his 'flying pig.' My dad, who died many years ago, never told this account of butchering. My brother never told the story until many years after the death of Hub.
It's 50 years later, and I only recently heard Owen tell the story. I wanted to share it.
CAPPER'S memories
- I remember growing up with CAPPER'S WEEKLY. It found its way into our mailbox every Friday. I never once, in those days, dreamed I would still be here and be able to enjoy reading CAPPER'S.
One of those years - either 1928 (when I graduated from eighth grade) or 1932 (when I graduated from high school) - I sent in the winning last line to a Gillette Razor Co. jingle.
I remember Mama telling me that she didn't know how it would be possible to pay for my class pictures, which cost $10. But about the same time payment was due, I received payment for my 'last line.' A check for $10!
I still have a small scrapbook of poems by Lyla Meyers (from the 1950s) and others that I clipped from CAPPER'S WEEKLY, long before I married in 1937. That was my kind of poetry. I don't care for the ones that don't rhyme. But I don't suppose most modern moms would care to chop wood to heat the stove to cook dinner, as I did in the early '30s. For me, cutting wood was the fun part.
CAPPER'S, keep up the good work. I've been around for 93 of your 125 years and hope to be around for a few more.
May God bless you and yours, now and always.
Mommo and Poppo - After reading the article about grandparents' names ('Nana, Gramps, Pa? Grandparent name choices are infinite,' November 2006), I thought I'd tell you about our names.
When our second grandchild came along and was old enough to start talking, my husband and I would talk to him about Grandma and Grandpa. In his childish way, he could not say the two big words. He invariably came out with 'Mommo' and 'Poppo.' So, we have carried that on ever since. All of our grandchildren, great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren still call us Mommo and Poppo.
Poppo passed away in May 2003, but his name is on his tombstone, along with mine: John 'Poppo' W. Partridge and Myrtle 'Mommo' Y. Partridge. We will take those names to the end of time.
Holding his daughter for the first time
- Long ago, I poked a sign in our front lawn to support a Marine member in our family. He had been deployed to Fallujah, Iraq. 'Support Our Troops' the letters spelled, and there was an impression of the American flag in red, white and blue.
The sign has endured wailing winds and the fierce beating of the rain. Each time the lawn was mowed, the sign was tossed aside for a while, but it was always replaced in the yard again, the wires a bit more bent.
I vowed that the sign, regardless of its condition, would remain in the yard until the Marines returned to the United States. The time came when the men returned to their base. The sign came down, but only for a short while. The brave men were deployed for a second time.
Several months later, the Marines returned to the United States again. It was a special moment when our Marine could hold his 3-month-old daughter for the first time.

Athena ....Steve Groh worked hand in hand with Shirley to get the boss of his girlfriend fired. Groh told Shirley to handle the investigation ... Which all of Shirleys reports turned out to be works of fiction .... And the parks board blamed Groh fir giving them bad advice on open meeting laws at a public meeting..... Dale & doughtery are like pigs in a poke .... Dale will live in the Sheriffs office

Commissioners actions are unfortunate for the taxpayers of Jefferson County. They had a chance to professionalize the Sheriffs Office by appointing an indivudual with substantial law enforcement training and experience. The majority of those qualified from a law enforcement perspective have been eliminated. During the election, anyone can run and become Sheriff. But when the Commission must appoint someone to oversee that Office to protect us since this is not an election, it is their duty not to be political and appoint the best qualified law enforcement official and manager. They failed us taxpayers again with their politics.

HERE are e-mails send from one Toni MILBORNE.Shirley fired Mike six days into his term took Mark Renners job gave to Brunswick who still has mark do the job because he's not smart enough to. Then he proceeded to Earl.all done because they didn't take his crap he did to people. These are actual e-mails we have from Milborne. information to slander Michael on the front page of the spirit was hand delivered by prosecuting attorneys office an gone over in great detail with the sheriff to make sure. He's hand puppet at the time was S.Groh. Who does this to another person but for revenge. Same thing was done to Mr. Barr milborne helped Shirley. all because these people stood up to the little punk. So those of you who judge Earl MIKE, Mark, Tim Barr and you can add Joe Wendell to the list no your facts.Hopefully it will be published.

Let me give you those e-mails people, your little buddy shirley fired michael Dodson, and said Ralph said he could do it. He said I don't have to give him a due process hearing. Well guess what we are all entitled to due process. Shirley just got his RIGHT and he's still not in jail. If any of you got your rights taken away how would you feel,or is that only for criminals like shirley? Who's going to speak for great SHIRLEY now. Go ahead justify it, are you Americans or do you not belive everyone has a right to be heard?

TO SIGN OF NUT-Don't you dare put Earl name anywhere close to that evil monster shirley. He certainly did almost beat that low life and most of all at least he ran for the office he did'nt want it given to him. Where do the others fall in whats your excuse for that? DID Brunswick work there for 25 years EARL did. Was Brunswick ever a chief by vote no, he was acting CHIEF. Get your stories straight!!!!!

As far as for bring back Ballenger and Dodson the hard working Deputies do support that idea; except for Shirley's three little friends that are still working there like Flechter,Harrison,Tiong thats because these three dont work hard and were forced to work when Ballenger and Dodson were supervisers in the Department. These two were rail roaded because they refused to play the political games. Ballenger made the written complaint against Shirley for urinating in the mans hat and would not drop it when threaten by department heads and Dodson stood up for several Deputies when they were illegaly past over for promotions and would not drop cases against Shirley's son.

Hear it is people Mr. Groh was forced out of the criminal side of the prosecutors office for not being able to perform the job good enough he also was turn down for the Chiefs job at Shepherd University this past year. No he does not need the money they have more than enough. Dougherty and the Boobers are very good friends why do you think ED Boober got a job that was not posted with the school system after he was done as Sheriff.So who do you think will be Dougherty's Chief Deputy its all a setup by the Democratic Party heads. Mr. Brunswick along with Manager J Jones go to Shirley's house atleast once a week to keep him informed of whats going on. Look at Shirley's face book page and you will see friends like Mrs. Brunswick, Mrs. Noland, Mr. Manual and several other county officials and dont forget the C commissioner that has gone to his house to check on him with her husband.This is still a small county you cant hide anything if people just look without blinders on.

In West Virginia, the sheriff of a given county performs two distinct duties. They are the chief law-enforcement officers in the county, although much of this duty is handled by their chief deputies. They are also responsible for the collection of any taxes due to the county. While many sheriffs have a background in professional law enforcement, others are politicians or other local notables. West Virginia sheriffs are limited to two consecutive four-year terms. This is from Wikipedia--but I learned this in WVA History.

With as long as this is taking and as much as it will cost, we may as well of had a special election to let the residents of Jefferson county elect a new sheriff properly.

Dougherty has 19+ years in at the VA. He's not going to resign, he's going to retire. Small thing but it says a lot about credibility. It's a two man race.

People you forget the sheriff's office in WV is the treasurer's office--the sheriff collects the taxes. It is not just a law enforcement position!

Here's an interesting take on higher education from a longtime edupreneur and leading voice in the postsecondary learning space. Burck Smith, CEO of Straighterline (billing themselves as "the shortest distance between you and your college degree"), discusses rising costs of college, student and taxpayer debt in a lucid argument for an innovative solution to it all. Shifting from the old paradigm and moving into a new model, Burck talks technology, learning and keeping it all practical. It's a subtle shift, but for the vested leaders walking the centuries-old hallowed halls of higher ed to hear such blasphemous talk of offerings such as those that StraighterLine provides—well, this just may be disruptive technology at its strongest.

Last month, we brought you an interview with Brazilian director José Padilha (Elite Squad, Elite Squad 2) who is set to helm Robocop's return to the big-screen. Amongst other things, Padilha spoke about how his version of the story will differ from the 1987 original which starred Peter Weller, and was directed by Paul Verhoeven.
During a recent interview with Crave, Padilha was asked what he plans to do with a studio budget:
"Spend it. [Laughs] Listen, I always try to make the best film I can. If I can have one year to shoot a film, I want one year to shoot a film. If it's not possible, I'll try to make as best as I can in the timeframe that I have. I don't know exactly, because I've never done a movie with a huge budget, but I do know that the producers in this film, the studio are filmmakers. It's the people from Spyglass, Jon Glickman, Roger [Birnbaum] and Adam [Rosenberg]. They make films. They are not only studio execs. They are producers too. So they know how to make a film and it's very good for me because it's pragmatic. Once you give me the budget, whatever the budget is, the most important thing to me is that the money spent goes towards the screen. That's what counts. If I have a beautiful five star trailer, that doesn't change anything on the screen. It's better to have more film, more footage, more takes. It's that that concerns me and the guys that are making Robocop are very wise this way so it's cool."
The director was also asked whether or not he wants to redesign Robocop and ED-209:
"That I can't tell otherwise I'm going to give the movie away. We are already doing that, working on the designs so I do already know stuff. Listen, the design has to match the script. You don't design something out of the blue. You design something that makes sense inside the dramatic universe that you are exploring. So that's what we're doing."
RoboCop is slated to hit theaters in 2013.

National progress is the sum of individual industry, energy, and uprightness, as national decay is of individual idleness, selfishness, and vice.
S. Smiles
Contributed by: Zaady
Progress in every age results only from the fact that there are some men and women who refuse to believe that what they knew to be right cannot be done.

Usually, terrible things that are done with the excuse that progress requires them are not really progress at all, but just terrible things.

HOW TO STAY PROSPEROUS & FREE IN THE 21st CENTURY Americans have always understood that that this nation is unique among nations in the long march of human history, and as we speed into the next century, we seem to be at a crossroads. We are worried that with so many things out of whack; the traditions and institutions that made America great are under attack, standards continue to be lowered, so many minds seem clouded by the fog of liberalism. So let's stay positive; the personal freedoms we still enjoy; the widespread prosperity and bounty unimaginable in any other time and place; the innovations and progress in medicine, technology, communication, science, business, and more; the standard of living never before attained by so many among a nation's citizens...we wonder, will it last? The questions remain. What will ensure that America continues? Can our culture be reclaimed? How can we stay free in the next century? While people of other countries have been restricted m to pursue prosperity, bounded only by the limits of his or her imagination. Besides, only a conservative would ask how we can STAY prosperous and free in the 21st century. A liberal would whine that only a few are prosperous--the evil rich who have somehow gotten rich off the backs of the poor. Liberals don't notice, or understand freedom. They see victims; the oppressed, the downtrodden, and the have-nots. America has had the original ideas of self-government and self-reliance; for which we must thank our Founding Fathers.
Rush Limbaugh (1951 -)
"Even though it will disappoint many of you, the evidence is that you have a very bright future." This is how I finished my presentation at American University, eliciting a few chuckles from the audience. On a more serious note, I asked the students to consider a radical proposition: Economic growth and technological progress are not enemies of the environment but are perhaps its best friends, since they allow us to reduce humanity's footprint on the natural world. High tech agriculture boosts farm productivity, which means a cheaper food supply and more land spared for nature. Better sewage treatment means that our rivers and streams can run freer of pollutants. Catalytic converters on cars and better filters on power-plant smokestacks have greatly reduced smog, smoke and soot in the air. But only rich societies can afford to pay for these. In the end, the best environmental program of all is the promotion of prosperity.
Ronald Bailey
Progress in America has resulted from the freedom of the individual to venture for himself and to assure the gains and take all the losses as they come.

If you notice phrases, ideas, and anecdotes that closely resemble those that appear elsewhere in my writing, it's not a matter of sloppy editing. I'm repeating myself. I'm reshuffling words in the hope that just once I might say something exactly right. And I'm still wrestling with dilemmas that are not easily resolved or easily dismissed. I run at them again and again because I am not finished with them. Any may never be. Work-in- progress on a life-in-progress is what my writing is about. And some progress in the work is enough to keep it going on.

Stray dog winds her way up to Lhasa
2 yo girl with tenacity overcomes altitude sickness, high mountains, steep terrains, UV radiation, and thin air on Qinghai-Tibet plateau. It is something.

Xiao Sa at destinaion, the Potala Palace in Lhasa
Xiao Sa playing with hostel owner's pets, a kitty and two bunnies
Call her a canine with a dogged determination to keep running, wherever the road may lead.
The homeless dog, known as Xiao Sa, has been following a team of cyclists for 24 days along 1,833 kilometers of highway from Kangding, Sichuan province, to Lhasa in Tibet.
Nobody knows where the white dog came from or how long she has been straying on highway G318. Netizens call her the "dog with determination" and the micro blog "Go Go Xiao Sa" recording her life has attracted more than 37,000 followers in two weeks.
A picture of Xiao Sa in the arms of a young man in front of the Potala Palace on Thursday night drew more than 4,000 comments congratulating the small dog and expressing dreams of going to Lhasa.
The young man in the picture is Zhang Heng, 22, a student in Wuhan, Hubei province. As his graduation trip, he decided to face the challenge of riding to Lhasa alone. On the way he met a lonely dog. "She was lying, tired, on the street around Yajiang, Sichuan province," he said. "So we fed her, and then she followed our team.
They thought she was following for fun, but found she insisted on sticking around them day and night. "We felt she might want to come along with us, so we decided to bring her along to the end."
A week later, Zhang and his buddies opened a micro blog account for her.
"We thought the dog was encouraging us, and wanted others to know its story," he said.
They created the name Xiao Sa by combining xiao meaning "little" with the last syllable of Lhasa.
During their journey, Xiao Sa, Zhang and his team covered more than 1,700 kilometers and climbed 10 mountains higher than 4,000 meters.
Xiao Sa just ran up the mountains or along dirt roads. "Many people stopped cycling in some sections, then took the bus, but the dog made it," he said.
Zhang put the dog on the back of the bike when the team was riding downhill. "The speed can reach 70 kilometers per hour, impossible for the dog to catch us." Many other people cycling this road had learned of the dog.
"I've heard about her from other friends who rode to Lhasa on the road before I met her," said Wang Penghao, 24, from Jiuzhaigou, Sichuan province. "They told me to take care of her if I saw her, and give her some food and water like they did."
"She followed us for three days, running behind our team but sometimes leading us. She's very smart and knows the route, because she never got lost even when we passed through mountains."
After following Wang, the dog lagged behind and met another cyclist, Wang Zi, on May 4. "She may be the first dog who ran to Lhasa along this route," said Wang Zi, who was followed by the dog one day. "I have a special feeling about her, especially when I found she was never lost, waited for us at milestones on the road, and ran all the time, making me feel that she never feels tired," he said. Wang Zi will continue to the foot of Qomolangma, known as Mount Everest in the West, after he arrives in Lhasa. "If possible, I would like to take the dog with me, taking her to see a more splendid scene."
Zhang Heng, who accompanied Xiao Sa for 20 days, called her "a buddy and a friend". "I would like to take the dog home and take care of her. She has been a stray on the road for a long time. She needs a home."

I amended my wp_posts table as it was still pointing towards locahost when looking for my images.
I made progress in the sense that the images now appear in my media library (they were just broken thumbnails before) but for some reason they still don't display on the website.
Can anyone give me any advice on how to correct this?
From doing a bit of research it may be a case of search and replace but i'm not sure what or where to search!

(Page 1 of 2)
It was a journey he had made countless times over the years and involved a full day of walking. His leg was still stiff from the early hours before dawn, where the air carried a chill that promised of the winter to come. As he walked he brought his fist down rhythmically onto his thigh in an attempt to work some heat into the muscle. It would get worse, he knew, as the season turned, and he would soon need to rely on the salves to walk till nightfall. Not a day went by without some sort of reminder of the end of his military career, dying in a ditch with his leg near cleaved in two, but some days were worse than others.
As he walked down main avenues and twisted alleyways, Wards mind turned to the city itself, as it was often known to do in his silent patrol. He had called it home and walked its streets for fifteen years, learning its layout and secrets. He had arrived only a year before the Teshi trade agreements were signed, when the small dockside town was suddenly thrust into the center of an economic trade route. He had observed the frantic construction, the grand increases in scale, the sudden influx of wealth, and all they did to transform Kent into the sprawling, fashionable, despicable city it was today.
Even now the sheer scale of Kent still surprised Ward. When he first began his employment with the City Watch he was assigned a beat that could be completed in an hour. He knew every building, most of the residents, and was well known himself. The town had a singular sense of identity and form. In the intervening years however, whole suburbs began to distinguish themselves from each other both in appearance and inhabitants. Individual segregation between classes shifted to whole areas; poverty became pronounced in some parts of the city while wealth naturally gravitated towards others. Certain races and nationalities established their own distinct neighbourhoods that closely resembled their ancestral homelands, and old blood wars continued in the streets.
It bothered Ward that there were whole neighbourhoods where he was not welcome, and even areas where he shouldn't walk for fear of death, simply on account of his place of birth or the lord that he served. The community that once held Kent together was gone, and in its place was a boiling pot of cultures, religions and ideals, fought over banquet tables and in the dark alleys. The sense of identity was lost and Ward felt he was losing his connection to the heart of the city.
He slowly climbed the stone steps of Tower Hill and paused at the top to observe the view to the north.

sat 02 feb 2008 18:05:00 logan gate e3b
a day late
18.05 u, gate e3b logan. ajw was shooting product shots for me yesterday in danbury. i decided to stay here one extra day because i didn't like how the weather was shaping up. so last night aj came to jazztown (i got my wish!) and we had dinner at the bar, and slept in room 3146 which is on the other side from where i usually stay. then today she drove me to beacon hill. while sitting around the apt we talked about houses. buing a disused building and making it into a house. like an old bank or a mill or municipal bldg. kinda the same thing pani has been talking about doing in ireland. then we napped then went for a "bleu" cheese burger at "the hill" pub, then said goodbye and i gave her a squeeze of the right buttock and took a taxi to logan.
the political campaign in america is in full swing. it could end up mccain versus hillary clinton, which would mean a military man gets to be president as soon as hillary self-destructs. that is unless barack obama beats hillary, much to be decided in a day of primary elections (voorverkiezingen) this coming tuesday.
the "superbowl" happens tomorrow in phoenix, but also seems to be happening all over america. mayor menino in boston applying special security precautions especially in areas of town with a lot of students.
for some reason i can't seem to dial out on my mobile tonight, can't sms either.
18.38 u. now on board NW38 expecting "pushback" at 19.05. i changed my seat to 28j because i prefer to be near a window. i left a few pants / shirts at aj's flat. might as well have some clothes on both sides of the atlantic, then my luggage can be lighter.
total length of flight 5543km/3444mi. expected duration 6.04h.
19.30/01.30 u. captain sez expect arrival 07.20 on sunday 03 feb. now i'm high enough to have forgotten to be afraid of going up. i am bored of course so i want food. even though i've already had too much to eat today. on video screen, movies about in-seat exercises. 3256km travelled out of 5543.
05.35 u. 4332 km. slowly approaching coast of ireland. taking a more southerly route than i remember from last time.
06.10 u. video map sez we are just passing south of cork. but still over the sea, no landfall over ireland.
06.45 u. just passed north of oxford, england. still pitch black outside of course, i can't see a bloody thing. 5350 km travelled of 5543.
06.51 u. i see a warm colored thin crescent moon just over horizon to the south.
07.08 u. now i can see the dutch coast approaching, swaths of electric light, then faintest dawn streaks of orangish pink. now the air gets louder and my ears press in.
07.20 u. touchdown woo hoo thank god.

New to Knitting!
Seven years after retirement and I was
! So in November 2011, I picked up a pair of knitting needles and began knitting squares which consisted of 'knit, rip apart', again and again! Being a perfectionist, I was determined to be able to knit without obvious errors and I'm quite near that point. Or I should say that I am now able to recognize errors much more quickly and am able to 'save' the project.
In February 2012, my grandson begged me to make him a hat. (Up to this point I had not actually 'made' anything). But I knitted a square, sewed up the back, made a pom pom and I finally had a hat!
Since then, I've probably knitted 25 hats and my progress has been amazing. No fancy stitches....but I have fun with stripes. My knitting supplies consist of lots of circular needles and bulky yarn which I prefer over that skinny little yarn I call string.
So I just wanted to say "Hello" to those reading this forum and I would be happy to hear from you and how you got into this obsession!
Have a GREAT DAY!

Boater recounts stormy ride on Sebago LakeUPDATED 5:43 PM EDT Jul 08, 2014
Thomas O'Brien shares what he went through last week when his pontoon boat was almost swamped by the waves on Sebago Lake during severe weather.Video Transcript
"it looked pretty bad in that video. It was actually a little worse earlier, but everybody stayed calm, everybody listened to me and we got through it" A MAN FROM FLORIDA LEARNS HIS LESSON -- THE WEATHER IN MAINE CAN CHANGE IN MINUTES. YOU MIGHT REMEMBER IT FROM LAST WEEK,, HE SHOT THIS VIDEO OF THE VERY STORMY CONDITIONS THAT SWIFTLY MOVED IN ON SEBAGO LAKE. WHILE THAT MAN AND HIS PASSANGERS GOT LUCKY, IT'S A REMINDER THAT CONDITIONS ON THE WATER CAN BE DANGEROUS -- EVEN DEADLY. WMTW NEWS 8'S JIM KEITHLEY IS LIVE ALONG THE CAUSEWAY IN NAPLES TONIGHT... WITH HIS STORY AND SAFETY TIPS FROM THE WARDEN SERVICE. YOU TALK TO ANY AVID BOATER - AND THEY'LL ALL TELL YOU MAINE LAKES CAN GET AS HARSH AS THE OCEAN DURING A STORM, WITH WHITE CAPS AND ALL. TOM O'BRIEN FROM ST. AUGUSTINE, FLORIDA - KNOWS THE OCEAN AND THE LAKES BUT LAST TUESDAY HE BATTLED A MAINE THUNDERSTORM, THAT ALMOST ENDED IN TRAGEDY. "The weather came on us really quickly, very quick, I mean like in a snap, in a snap." TOM O'BRIEN RE- LIVING LAST WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON - HE AND SIX FAMILY MEMBERS ON A 25 FOOT PONTOON BOAT ON SEBAGO LAKE - THEY WERE IN A COVE AREA NEAR FRYE'S LEAP, WHEN A STORM ROLLED THROUGH. "If I had turned and went to shore, the boat would have rolled, I'm 100 percent positive of that so you had to stay either with the waves to you or the waves behind you and kind of surf the boat on the waves and deal with them as the waves come down that's what I was doing and I picked the closest possibility to shore without rolling the boat." HE GOT EVERYBODY IN THE BACK OF THE BOAT, HE STAYED CALM. AND MANAGED TO RIDE OUT THE STORM AND EVENTUALLY MANEUVERING THE BOAT TO SHORE. MANEUVERING THE BOAT TO SHORE. "Sebago Lake can be the ocean." TODAY EDDIE GUTIERREZ AND AND HIS FAMILY HEADED IN EARLY AFTER CLOUDS ROLLED IN, HE KNOWS ALL ABOUT MAINE WEATHER AND WHAT IT CAN MEAN ON THE LAKE. "Have you been out there when you get the thunder boom, it's a lot different than being on land. It's gets your attention real quick, it's like I need to go home get to safety you know what I'm saying?" AND NOW FLORIDIAN - TOM O'BRIEN KNOWS THAT MOTHER NATURE IN MAINE - ISN'T SOMEONE TO MESS WITH. "Looking at it now it scare me more than it did while I was there. I really wasn't scared, I was more concerned for the passengers, now I look at and go what was I crazy? What happened here? It just came on so fast." THE MAINE WARDEN SERVICE SAYS THE TOP THREE THINGS BOATERS SHOULD DO - MONITOR THE WEATHER REPORTS, HAVE SAFETY DEVICES, INCLUDING CELL PHONES AND RADIOS ON BOARD AND KNOW YOUR LIMITATIONS. O'BRIEN SAYS HE DID LEARN A LESSON WHEN IT COME TO BOATING IN MAINE? "I got the Weather Channel on my phone for this area." O'BRIEN SAID HE'S ALREADY BEEN BACK OUT ON THE BOAT - AND THE WARDEN SERVICE TELLS ME SEBAGO IS THE SECOND LARGEST LAKE IN MAINE, BEHIND MOOSEHEAD AND IT'S PRETTY BIG - 47 SQUARE MILES... AND DEPENDING ON WHERE YOU ARE WHEN THE WEATHER HITS - YOU COULD BE SEVERAL MILES FROM SHORE. WE'RE LIVE IN

Gamemoir continues its look at bad game writing with an examination of Peter Dinklage's performance in the Destiny alpha.
Last week's post about game writing went up seemingly moments before Peter Dinklage went viral and gave us this year's "I took an arrow to the knee":
It's a hollow, dead reading of a ridiculous line of dialogue, and the internet exploded almost as quickly as it did with Luigi's Death Stare. Polygon's Ben Kuchera went to town on Dinklage's performance, saying in part:
…I hate to say that it sounds like someone was there just to cash a paycheck, but whatever tools Dinklage needed to provide a first-class performance, whether that be source material or motivation, were lacking. His voice-overs are now one of the weakest parts of the game…
I should say right up front that I didn't actually play the Destiny alpha, so I'm only going by the reactions of pretty much everybody on my twitter feed, almost all of whom howled in derision and posted YouTube clips and changed their names to some variation on "Moon Wizard". That being said, while I can certainly hear for myself how flat his line readings are, I can't help but feel that it isn't completely Mr. Dinklage's fault. Indeed, I'm not entirely sure that any of it is his fault.
Firstly, this was an alpha.
Despite the increasing numbers of Early Access games on Steam in recent months, the vast majority of alphas are hidden far from public view – especially for games on this kind of scale and budget – primarily because they're many months away from being anything near a finished product. I suspect that Bungie and Sony made this public primarily to capitalize on post-E3 momentum and to give fans something to see and experience for themselves. This was not a beta server stress test; this was a highly polished demo of something that's very much still a work in progress. As such, it seems absolutely insane to think that any voiceover work could be considered final. To be fair to Ben Kuchera, he does say as much:
It couldn't have been an easy performance to give. Dinklage is playing an artificial intelligence with no body, so there is no way for him to physically act the role, and we have no idea if he was able to even see the scenes he was discussing when he recorded the lines. Doing voice-over work cold, without great source material or being able to act out the scene or use other actors for reference, is brutally difficult to do well, even for talented individuals.
I will absolutely guarantee that, even without having heard the very loud feedback, Bungie and Mr. Dinklage will do their best to right all the perceived wrongs when they go back and re-record the final script. (And the fact that they've already gone ahead and turned this quote into a T-shirt makes me hopeful that they're on the case.)
Secondly, let's also note (as Kuchera did in that second quote) that Mr. Dinklage is not portraying a person; he's portraying a floating spherical robot (which looked a lot like 343 Guilty Spark to my untrained eye).
So even if we put aside the very real possibility that the VO in the alpha is simply a quickly recorded temporary track that was never going to be included in the final product, it would be helpful to remember that even the most famous fictional AIs (HAL in "2001"; C-3P0 and R2-D2; Ian Holm as Ash in the first "Alien") aren't known for their emotional depth and range.
Thirdly, and most importantly: that is a terrible line of dialogue, and there isn't an actor alive who could make it any less terrible. I used to be an actor, actually, and so I speak from experience here: there's only so much you can do with a bad script. Sure, Dinklage read that line flat – but what the hell else was he going to do? How can you emote with a line that dumb? I submit that if he'd actually tried, that line would sound even more ridiculous than it already does. Kuchera closes his piece with the following:
It's terrible to begin a journey that's clearly meant to evoke a sense of adventure and grandeur in the player with a disembodied voice that clearly has given up on conveying any kind of emotion. This is the alpha, so there's plenty of time[ ] for the lines to be re-recorded, or replaced or improved through some kind of post-processing effect, but for now they actively weaken a game the Polygon staff has been enjoying. Something went wrong when Peter Dinklage is the worst part of your game, but there it is. Working around a well-known actor's schedule can't be easy, but the game does so many things well to give you a sense of place; it would be a waste if that was lost due to the poor performance of a single person.
I submit that the larger worry here isn't Dinklage's performance; it's the state of the script. VO dialogue can be recorded a lot quicker than it can be written – especially in the hands of a capable actor – and if Destiny is as big as it's claimed to be, that's a lot of dialogue. It should also be noted that as great as Bungie's Halo games are, we don't really remember them for their dialogue. The script is serviceable, but not poetic; and in any event, the original trilogy's story was a bit convoluted for me, and always took a back seat to the action. (And no, I didn't read the books. But even if I did, I'm not talking about the books here.) Additionally, even if we acknowledge that there's a rich fiction in the Halo games – which I'd only do in comparison to other big-budge first-person shooters – the games convey that fiction in many ways beyond dialogue.
Sure, Keith David was pretty good – but he's pretty good in everything he does, and maybe it's because I'm not a Halo superfan, but I don't really recall his performance all that well – or, really, anyone's performance in any of the Halo games besides David Cross as a random soldier in Halo 2, specifically because it was so weird to hear his voice in that context. This is a roundabout way of saying that Bungie – great as their games have been – does not have a particularly strong track record when it comes to good scripts. And so the pressure to right Destiny's wrongs in this alpha is not necessarily solely on Peter Dinklage's shoulders – it's on the people who are giving him his lines. If you're going to hire an actor as great as Dinklage, you had damned well better give him something worthwhile to say.

Notes: For the first show of the Holiday Run, the stage was decorated with flowers and sculptures. During the encore, parts of the set began to grow and sprout leaves. This stage setup was used for this show only, and disappeared for the rest of the run. Before Sleep, Fish's drum kit was moved to allow the crew to roll out a small mini-stage with a scaled-down drum set and a baby grand piano. Trey and Mike sat on stools and both played acoustic guitars. This acoustic set-up was used for Sleep, Albuquerque, and Driver. During the Wolfman's jam, three people in inchworm-like costumes came on stage and danced for the rest of the set. Bowie included a tease of the theme from The Godfather.
This show was part of the "1998 NYE Run."

I created a transport request and released it. However, the cofile and datafile are not created in production server. It supposed to appear automatically once I released, but it is not created and I was not able to add this request in the production. May I know what might be the cause? Any setting that is wrong in my development server?
Ideally your central transport directory should be shared by the DEV and PRD servers.
Upon releasing, the data file and cofile should get created in this central transport directory under data and cofiles subdirs.
Check in STMS -> Systems overview -> display for the TMS directory for DEV and PRD systems.
The directory for both system is the same.
In which system you created this transport request. Make sure that transport request should not be created as local transport. Because in local transport no cofile and data file will be created.
Most probably this is a local request. How can I check the setting?
If your system it generating local transport requests then it means you have not configured trans port route. Please configure transport route.
Actually I'm not quite sure it is a local transport, I just suspected it. My version of SAP is netweaver 7.0, can I know how I can check it? I already configure the transport route but not sure it is correct. I only have development server (DEV) and production server(PRD), don't have QA server. It is possible to have a transport route without the delivery route? I will have two consolidation route, one for the transport of the existing configuration and one is for the transport of SAP object.
Go to Se01 and check your transport there. If it is local transport request then it will show you local transport request there. You can configure transport route for 2 system landscape as well.
How I know it is local request? Is there any indication that I can knw? Will it stated there local transport request?
It will be like this when you will check any transport in Se01
100 <SID> Client
Workbench Workbench request
Local Change Requests
Does it mean that if I don't see the word ' local change request', it is not local request? When I tried to add the request in PRD server, I get this message "Transport control program tp ended with error code 0247. Errors: addtobuffer has problems with data- and/or cofile". The detail errors - "An error occurred when executing a tp command.
Command: ADDTOBUFFER DEVK900008 PRD pf=
Return code: 0247
Error text: addtobuffer has problems with data- and/or cofile
Request: DEVK900008" . How can I rectify this error?
Did u tried the procedure given in the below link?
Also check the procedure given in the below link.
Actually both link that you provided, the method stated, I already tried before. It is still not working, so I wonder which part am I doing wrong.
If you have configured transport route properly then when you will release request then it will automatically come in your production queue (Since you have no quality system). If transport is not coming in production queue, it means there is problem with transport route configured.
Also, check whether data file or cofile exists in transport directory or not. If there are no files then it means it is a local transport request.

[T]hree of the main ideas [of the National Defense Strategy] are the need to deal with strategic uncertainty; the value of early measures, early action to prevent problems from becoming crises, or crises from becoming wars; and third, the importance of building partnership capacity so that we can work with other countries. (Transcript)
Douglas Feith
Under Secretary of Defense for Policy
The National Defense Strategy (NDS) and the National Military Strategy (NMS) were released to the public on Friday, March 18. The following points were made in a press briefing with Mr. Douglas Feith, under secretary of defense for policy, and Rear Adm. William Sullivan, vice director, strategy, plans and policy office.
The NDS and NMS:
- Outline how DoD supports the president's National Security Strategy.
- Lay the foundation and provide strategic context for the ongoing Quadrennial Defense Review.
The three main ideas of this National Defense Strategy include:
- The need to deal with strategic uncertainty.
- The understanding that early measures may resolve problems before they become crises and crises before they become wars.
- The importance of building partner capacity.
The NDS defines four strategic objectives:
1. Secure the United States from direct attack.
2. Secure strategic access and retain freedom of action for key regions.
3. Strengthen alliances and partnerships.
4. Establish security conditions conducive to favorable international order.
The National Military Strategy provides strategic guidance to the Armed Forces.
The NMS sets forth three military objectives:
1. Protect the United States against external attacks and
2. Prevent conflict and surprise attack.
3. Prevail against adversaries.
The US Army Field Band and Soldiers Chorus, and their Jazz Ambassadors, continue their spring tour throughout the Midwestern United States. Veterans recently returning from OIF and OEF, and local hometown Field Band performers are also honored during these performances. Click here to read the Spring and Summer schedule.
The Brass Ensemble of the Army's 10th Mountain Division Band and Colors from the New York City MEPS, will take part in the annual Medal of Honor Society National Dinner activities on March 22, at the New York Stock Exchange. Forty two MOH recipients have been invited to this event.

Location: Beneficial Insects Introduction Research
Project Number: 8010-22000-027-00
Start Date: Dec 20, 2010
End Date: Jul 01, 2015
1.1.a. We will conduct a series of a series of field experiments to determine the distance A. glabripennis are attracted to Acer mono (Painted Maple). Potted A. mono saplings will be systematically positioned at varying distances from adult beetle infested trees in ALB infestations. Adult beetles will be collected, uniquely marked and released onto infested trees at predetermined distances from the potted A. mono, which will then be checked daily and the marked beetles identified and counted, and referenced to the position of release as a measure of attractive distance (attractive radius). Effects of positioning A. mono within vs. adjacent to infested landscapes will be evaluated in closed canopy, patch/clumped and open canopy landscapes to optimize detection of ALB using A. mono sentinel trees and provide landscape-specific guidelines for implementation in the U.S., Canada and Europe. 1.1.b. We will conduct a series of field experiments to develop an artificial lure for detection of adult ALB. We will determine the relative attraction of ALB to: (1) traps baited with different formulations and dosages; (2) trap position within host trees; (3) trap position within landscapes; and (4) method of deployment. Choice experiments will be conducted using a randomized complete block design, and treatments within block will be rotated daily. Traps will be checked daily, number and gender of each beetle recorded, removed and preserved. In addition, we will conduct a series of field experiments to determine the distance at which adult A. glabripennis beetles are attracted to the optimized artificial lure (see approach outlined above for Acer mono). 1.2. We will conduct field studies of the process of population spread and host colonization in invasive ALB populations in North America and Europe. We will use dendrochronology methods to date signs of attack on infested trees within different landscapes of two ALB infestations (Toronto, Canada; Treviso, Italy), thereby providing the timeline of attack and emergence. We will use GPS methods of infested trees to provide the spatial scale of population spread. Collectively, this approach will allow us to reconstruct the process of population spread and to development of predictive spatiotemporal models of population spread and host colonization on which to base implementation of a wide range of adaptive management strategies for existing introductions, and for restricting establishment, proliferation and spread of future introductions. 2. We will combine the geographic distribution of epidemic ALB populations with that of mixed deciduous forests to predict the geographic and host range of ALB, specifically focusing on noninvasive populations within natural ecosystems in South Korea and China. We will conduct foreign exploration to identify natural enemies of ALB within natural ecosystems and evaluate host specificity and efficacy as biological control agents of ALB. 3. In natural forests, we will identify native woodborers and associated native natural enemies of maple, and evaluate the later as biocontrol agents of ALB. We will identify native natural enemies parasitizing ALB within infestations in the U.S.
