Do you think being small makes your company immune to cyber threats? Quite the contrary; small and medium businesses are top targets for cybercriminals. A recent FireEye white paper highlights five reasons your small or midsize business is a prime target for cybercriminals: (1) your data is more valuable than you think, (2) cyber attacks offer low risk and high returns for cyber criminals, (3) you're an easier target, (4) many SMBs have their guards down, and (5) most SMB security tools are no match against today's attacks.

Committee report suggested minimal changes to Uganda's Anti-Homosexuality Bill

Hi everyone,
Recently had an email from my estate agent saying the following:
"Your landlady came in to see me as the drains were blocked at [address] and had to be cleared professionally. As it is split into 3 flats and one commercial property, she is requesting that the bill be split four ways with the tenants. This will incur a charge of £50 to yourself."
Now... I've never had a problem with the drains. Nobody told me the drains needed or were going to be unblocked. And now I'm presented with a bill for something I don't even know has actually happened.
Not sure where I stand here: but I would have thought they needed to inform me before the work occurs that this is happening and that i am in someway responsible?
Thanks in advance.

U.S. makes urgent appeal to NATO on Afghan training
By Adam Entous
ISTANBUL (Reuters) - U.S. Defence Secretary Robert Gates is pressing NATO allies to send up to 4,000 more trainers and mentors to prepare Afghanistan's army and police to begin taking over security next year, U.S. officials said Thursday.
The shortage of trainers and mentors has cast doubt on U.S. President Barack Obama's timetable for starting to hand over responsibility to Afghan forces so U.S. and allied troops can begin a gradual withdrawal from the country in July 2011.
"I call 2010 the year of maximum effort," said U.S. Ambassador to NATO Ivo Daalder.
"It is a year we are going to do everything we can so down the road we have to do less. ... The key here is the more we can accomplish in 2010 the more we can transition in 2011 and beyond, the more we can draw down," he told reporters.
Pentagon press secretary Geoff Morrell said Gates would appeal to NATO defence ministers meeting in Istanbul Thursday and Friday to "contribute their forces to this cause in as timely a manner as possible, just as we are."
Obama has ordered 30,000 additional U.S. troops to Afghanistan with the aim of containing a widening Taliban insurgency while building up the strength of Afghan forces.
"We are in the midst of an expedited surge in the United States. He will implore them to act as quickly as they can to get their forces into the fight because time is of the essence," Morrell told reporters.

Looking for info on handling under power...
As long as there is no current, slow is good.
If there is a strong current you must use enough power to remain in control of the boat. A center control point(center line cleat) is very handy. If you tie up the center of the boat to the dock, it won''t move much until you can get the fore and aft lines on. Also a rear spring line is very handy. This line runs from the outside end of the dock to the centerline point.
You come in under power, get the aft spring line on. As that line tightens it pulls you to the dock. If needed you can leave the motor in gear allowing you to go forward and get the bow line secured.
Looking for info on handling under power...
Alta, you may want to visit the website of Terry Forgie, the dockmaster of Cabbage Key, Florida, for the past 24 years. Terry has just produced a 60 minute video titled "Terry''s 20 Tips on Docking Your Boat"
One of the tips is on "warping", which is really helpful. You can also e-mail Terry with any specific questions and I''m sure he will respond. His website is www.boat-docking.com
Looking for info on handling under power...
I''m always surprised at how much better I dock when I''m going slowly. It gives me a chance to see exactly what the wind and current is doing to the boat, and gives the crew more time to get ready. I often go into reverse just to slow down after making my approaching turn. If the dock''s not really solid, ten fast-moving tons will pull their cleats out. I''ve also found that having a line secured midships, and throwing that first, allows the boat to be contolled better from the dock. It can be snubbed to slow the boat down, or pulled to bring her forward, as needed. Unless you''ve got a lot of room to approach parallel to the dock, throwing the bow line first often pulls the bow in. The stern then swings out and gets caught in the current, which pulls it further out.... As with everything, it improves with practice.
Looking for info on handling under power...
The last time I picked it up (over 6 months ago), I seem to recall that "Chapman Piloting: Seamanship & Small Boat Handling" had an extensive section on docking and handling under power. The "Annapolis Book of Seamanship" and Calder''s "The Cruising Handbook" also have good info.
Hope that helps.
Looking for info on handling under power...
Being new to sailng and having had my share of good (luck) dockings and not so good ones, I am always looking for more info on handling under power. To the salts Im sure this is pretty basic stuff, but there must be some cool tricks of the trade that I have yet to uncover. I bought the video "SAILBOAT HANDLING UNDER POWER" and found it lacking. For a little background, I have completed the ASA courses through 106 (unfortunately docking larger boats was glossed over in 106) and have taken out on 35s - 45s about 15 times with no major mishaps but I want to refine my approach - literally. Any help out there?

Post-war trauma endangers peacebuilding, economic growth: experts
By Alex Whiting
LONDON (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - Traumatized by his experiences as a child soldier in South Sudan, 14-year-old Peter decided to settle an argument with two other children by taking an AK-47 from the local military barracks to shoot them.
Peter, whose name has been changed to protect his identity, was one of nearly 1,800 children being reintegrated into their communities after their release earlier this year from the South Sudan Democratic Army Cobra Faction in eastern Jonglei state.
Some were withdrawn and unable to trust people around them. Some, like Peter - who was disarmed before he could open fire - were prone to aggressive outbursts.
Counselor Shaun Collins, who has recently returned to Britain after six months as a leader on the U.N. children's agency (UNICEF) program which helped release and reintegrate the children, decided to not to offer Peter formal therapy.
Short of time and resources, Collins thought it better to teach the boy techniques to help him calm down, and draw in community elders, family, social workers and his teacher to help him change his behavior.
"We had no formal post traumatic stress disorder(PTSD)-type services to work with this boy, so we worked with what we had," Collins said, referring to a condition that can affect people like Peter who have had traumatic experiences.
Eventually the boy calmed enough to reveal that while fighting his way out of an ambush, he killed several people and saw close friends die. He became both victim and perpetrator.
South Sudan has just a handful of mental health professionals to serve a population who have experienced decades of war. Continued...

^ If you like Magpul under Costa and Haley, know that both have now gone their separate ways from Magpul - so, essentially, you've got triple the opportunity to get their good instruction (i.e. Magpul and their individual respective schools). :smile:
I've wanted to shoot Magpul since I saw those awesome DVDs, but for me, my work as well as family schedules makes it, for the time being, rather impossible for me to get too far away from home. Magpul remains on my "bucket list," of-course, but it's going to be a couple of years before I can get to them, unless they by-luck come to my area.
Fortunately, that's exactly what happened with Costa: he will be instructing two sets of pistol courses in my area this summer, and yep, I'm going to take full advantage of it. :smile:
I find that what DRM's Fist-Fire grip really helps with is controlling recoil during rapid-fire strings. In a dozen-shot+ rapid-fire string, my shots were tighter than anyone else's, in a 9-person class just a couple of nights ago (I'm not saying this to brag - believe you me, I screwed something up, and I'll get to that in a moment, I just wanted you to know where I saw the most improvement), and in all honesty, my rapid fire strings have never been better than after DRM shared his techniques with us here.
Since you're still dropping shots rapid-fire, it's very likely that, as you've self-diagnosed, that you're losing trigger control when you're pressing speed. But based on my experience with DRM's Wrist Lock ("power of the pinky," really!), I think you're also perhaps reverting to a less-"locked" position as you press for increased speed, so trouble-shoot that, too. In either case, now that you've found your failure-point, slow yourself back down again, get it right, and punch right through that failure point. :smile:
Also, think about paying for some private or semi-private tutor time, in terms of basic marksmanship. I know that, for me, I could either spend a few hours and a couple of hundred rounds to troubleshoot myself, or I can pay something like $40 to $80, for 2 to 4 hours of semi-private instruction, and get much more out of it.
A few nights ago, I attended a local school's "semi-private tutored shoots." Commence FireARMs Academy out of Cleveland routinely hosts its "Shoot With Instructors" and "Advance Shoot With Instructors" classes. I've attended several of these sessions before - a great way to spend 4 hours on a weeknight. I still maintain to my locals that it's the best buy for the money - $40 per session, and the ammo count is usually low (stressing quality over quantity).
During the first hour, the basic "Shoot with Instructors" session - which is ostensibly designed to take absolute beginners and get them comfortable with their pistols. Yet, it also accommodates more advanced shooters, to help them improve - I figured out that me fighting my natural point-of-aim was what was throwing my shots off to the 3 (about a half-inch off the bull, at 7 yards).
Over the last couple of months, it had probably been a combination of my reaction/support-hand thumb steering the gun during recoil (I favor the modern "both thumbs forward" grip, with my support/reaction thumb resting against the top surface of the takedown lever on my XDms, as the index point on the frame - yes, I'm right-handed) as well, but I thought that I had that worked out on my last (solo) range session, so when it manifested again last night, even after I'd taken specific steps to insure that I wasn't creating the problem, well, I was pretty concerned. Thanks to the coaching of two of their instructors, Chris and Kip, we figured out that it was my trying to fight my natural point-of-aim that's actually causing me troubles.
So, what, exactly, was the problem?
I was trying to get more squared-up to the target, to, in effect, make my body "more isosceles."
Unfortunately, that's not where my natural point-of-aim hits: each person's musculoskeletal setup is a little different from another's, and mine just happens to be set up, with my cross-dominance, so that my right foot is a bit farther back, in a neutral stance, than otherwise "proper." In referencing D.R. Middlebrooks's "The Evolution of Grip/Stance" YouTube segment, my lower body rotation lands somewhere between the reverse-Weaver and reverse-Chapman.
And yes, while I agree with the top coaches/trainers in that it's the upper body that matters most, the problem is that if/when I take that more instinctive shot (Chris noted that I shot better if I "announced" prior to shooting - in this particular school, we are instructed to yell "Stop, I have a gun!" as the announcement, and this gets me a good second to get my sights perfectly aligned, when shooting from a static, stationary setting; the announcement slows me down just enough that I can get a "perfect" sight-picture), the miscued natural point-of-aim means that I end up, like Middlebrooks points out, fighting myself to deliver the surgical shot.
Now, could I have figured this out by myself?
But it would have taken me several range sessions and many more dollars, in terms of ammo consumed (for this class session, we used only 35 to 40 rounds of ammo).
The fundamentals of pistol marksmanship is what everything else builds on, you've got to be sure that you've got this part of the equation absolutely and totally right, before you can progress.
In getting back to the OP.....
I completely agree that "stress inoculation" is a necessary component of training, and that it is a very necessary component of being a concealed-carrier who will be able to properly function under-pressure, and survive - win - the encounter.
Certainly, this does not, at all, mean that I do not agree with kelcarry's post above. I can't agree with him more: I really think that for the average person - for someone who is not forced by occupation to face the ugly side of humanity and to deal with violence - the best thing to do is to simply practice avoidance and awareness.
Nevertheless, this does not obviate the need to train towards a higher standard.
In the spirit of this thread, I'll share a recent training "failure" I experienced.
The above mentioned class was followed immediately with their "Advance Shoot with the Instructors" mini-seminar. We move forward of the line, adding movement and, for those who desire it, drawing from-concealment. I've attended two of these sessions previously, and have picked up good tips; at the low cost, I figured "why not," and decided to make a night out of the two classes (the SWI class prior, and this ASWI class following).
Attending this session probably saved my life.
For as much as my lessons at Three Tango Firearms Academy, another local school, corrected me from dropping shots after a reload, last night, Chief Instructor Keith Campbell and Instructor Ryan brought to-light the fact that I am relying too much on the capacity (moments before, I'd been cheering: "Yeah, 19+1, baby!" ) of my XDm9 Compact.
In having run either with the gun topped-off or with shorter/less-round-count drills, I simply don't have that much experience reloading, and while my full-sized gun disguises that nicely since it virtually always drops free its mags, when it's my Compact, the meat of my palms can temporarily weld the magazine extension to the frame, causing the magazine to not drop free. That created a whole bunch of problems for me, for the execution of the reload.
The magazine hanging in the well really caught me off. I had not experienced the phenomenon nearly this much before. I really think that since my support hand has gone to the Fist-Fire Wrist Lock, it's somehow stressing the magazine-extension interface with the bottom of the grip (of my Compact, my carry) a little more (i.e. that my pinky is leveraging the magazine so hard), and that along with the meat at the heel of my gun-hand palm, is allowing for a temporary "weld" that gets more solid as I fire more rounds. It virtually never presents itself when I dry-practice reloads, and I'm now trying to find a way to simulate it.
I think that had this been a problem when I shot my carry in an intermediate-level class last summer that I would have noticed, since that class was very rigorous, in terms of manipulations.
Certainly, the fact that for the vast majority of last year, I shot my full-sized pistol exclusively (17K+ rounds versus 8K rounds; full-size vs. carry, respectively), and that virtually always drops free its mags, it may have made me weaker on the reload than someone who is a single-stack operator. This is definitely a failure that I'm glad I encountered in a training atmosphere!
Needless to say, that's something that I will be working on, *A LOT.*
Since I have something like 12 range magazines for the gun, I think I will down-load the pistol from now on, so that I can get in more magazine-change practice.
In reviewing things, I think I will go to the Fist-Fire "practical" reload, and make that my "usual." I am still on the slow-motion muscle-training portion of my drills, currently, and I think I can achieve certainty as well as good speed in using my support hand to punch the mag-release, sweep the mag out of the well, and access my spare in one single motion. To-note, this is not just a competition practice: TDI and Paul Gomez also advocate this two-handed reload method, actively ripping out the spent magazine from the gun's magwell (although TDI, in at least the one video I saw, did not instruct the student to utilize their support/reaction-hand thumb to drive the magazine release button).
Comparing the material between DRM's Fist-Fire DVDs as well as that of Magpul's "The Art of the Dynamic Handgun," where Costa's remediation of the non-clearing magazines (striking it out with the fresh magazine) - in terms of speed, I think that Middlebrooks's proactive method is both quicker and smoother, and will also adapt well to clearance of double-feed malfunctions. This change in my techniques should also allow me to consolidate to a single set of motor skills rather than require actual brain processing power under stress.
Oh, and speaking of malfunction remediation:
To show you how much I relied on the XDm's capacity, during one of the exercises where the Chief Instructor purposely "mind fingered" me, the first time I dropped the striker and the gun didn't go off, I automatically assumed that it was dry, and ripped out the magazine. I was so lucky that my instincts had been right - otherwise, Keith said that he'd have put his boot up my ass, had he seen even a single good round left in the mag. But that was embarrassing, still, because I know how to run malfunctions - at one point this last year, I had a bruise on my support hand that matched, perfectly, the base-plate of my magazine: I'd done so many malfunction drills that day.
Nevertheless, that's a training scar that I need to overcome. I'm currently examining and self-debating the various techniques that I've learned, to see if they really mesh with "reality," or if they are somehow playing more into my range/class/training, instead. There are techniques which I suspect that while they may help me do better - or even excel - in a class setting, they're actually going to be more of a liability, "in reality."
I'm trying to work towards reality. :smile:

Turkey is engaged in a struggle between religious and secular forces not only for the soul of its society, but over who will control its institutions of power. Yusuf Kanli, writing in the Turkish Daily News, confronts the issue as to which side will win. He quotes Professor Serif Mardin who recently posed the question as to whether the imam or the teacher will capture the minds of the Turkish people. Professor Mardin suggests there is a vast counter movement on the part of Turkish religious leaders who seek to extend their control over every aspect of society. Many Turkish religious figures look towards Iran as the model for what should occur in their own society since that nation's control by religious leaders is total in its scope.
Yusuf Kanli argues, "thus the struggle between the imam and the teacher or between relligious conservatism and secular democratic republic is not yet won by either for the time being, though it is clear that the republic is trying to resist a grand siege." We in nations like America are bewildered over attempts to prevent females from wearing a headscarf at the university because our secular society is strong enough to allow such behavior without threatening our secular foundations as a society, but Turkey is closer to a situation in which forces of religion are seeking complete control and the headscarf is merely a symbol of that effort.
Many Turks are discussing a recent TV talk show in which two girls attacked their nation's founder, Attaturk, who they claimed had set back the right for religion in their country and proclaimed they preferred Iran's religious leader, the Ayatollah Khamenei. They said the goal of religion in Turkey is to take control over every facet of society including the imposition of sharia law. These comments shocked secular forces in Turkey.
The reality of modern Turkey is there are more mosques than schools an more imams than teachers. Can Turkey retain its secular foundation in the face of such figures?

BROOKFIELD, Conn. — While fellow Connecticut B.A.S.S. Nation anglers were fishing a tournament July 14 at Candlewood Lake, Paul Mayo was launching his boat to get married.
The Milford Black Bass club member had permission from his bride-to-be, Tiffany, to fish the tournament that day because it was scheduled to end before their wedding.
"She is very supportive of my fishing," Mayo said. I decided it would be better if I didn't (fish the tournament). I could have gotten away with it, but I would have been pretty tired during the wedding." So Mayo launched his boat and cruised over to the dock at Candlewood Inn, where the wedding took place.
The wedding was the culmination of a unique partnership. Mayo said he and Tiffany compete on the North East Bass Association team trail, and he estimates they fish 30 to 40 days per year together. While fishing in a Connecticut Bassmen mixed open tournament last year, Paul surprised Tiffany by dropping down on one knee and proposing to her in the boat. Tiffany had a hard time fishing afterward. "She was taking pictures and calling people," said Paul. "We both actually caught fish after that, though."
During the wedding, their dog, Enzo, served as the ring bearer. "He fishes with us all the time, too," said Paul. "He loves going fishing. If you ask him if he wants to go fishing, he gets all fired up."
The wedding reception had a fishing theme, with all the tables named after lakes and rivers the couple has fished together, such as Lake Lillinonah, Candlewood and Champlain.
After the wedding, they went on their honeymoon to Lake Winnipesaukee where, of course, they spent a little time fishing.

First off... if that's a C cup, that's the most impressive C cup that I've ever seen in my entire life. And I know plenty of chicks with implants.
Now that that's been said, here's Heidi Montag showing the results of even more plastic surgery, although the results are decidedly different than the ones she had back in 2010, when she first revealed all the work she had done - a whopping 10 separate surgeries completed in one day.
Montag's first couple of surgeries refined her nose and took her natural set of A cup breasts to a C cup, back in 2007. "The Hills" star later underwent the massive surgical overhaul a few years later, only to dismiss the doctor who completed them, especially after he had the fatal car accident on a California highway where it was revealed he crashed while typing in a Tweet.
Probably what's nicest to see is the formerly frowny Montag resplendent in smiles, even if you understand that it's for the images taken of the new boobs. I don't hate the girl, I think she was one of the unfortunate side effects of the reality television boon.

This is a discussion on How important is it to carry a spare magazine? within the Concealed Carry Issues & Discussions forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; I just carry my spare mag (G19) in my front left pocket. It felt bulky for a month or so, but now I never notice ...
I just carry my spare mag (G19) in my front left pocket. It felt bulky for a month or so, but now I never notice it.
I've tried IWB mag holders, but never found one that worked for me.
You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You are able to say to yourself, "I have lived through this horror. I can take the next thing that comes along." . . . You must do the thing you think you cannot do. Eleanor Roosevelt
During my daily routine, If I'm carrying a single stack (6-7rnds) I'll carry 2 spare mags on my person. If I'm carrying a double stack (15-17rnds) I usually don't carry a spare on me. Though I always carry 2 spare mags for whatever I'm carrying, in my bag, which is never more than a few feet away from me.
If I have to go somewhere that I feel I'll have to be condition Orange I'll carry a doublestack with 2 spares on me.
Bullets forward, in a low cut polymer pouch, so that I can grab it between my thumb, middle and ring finger, with my index finger along the front of the mag, it makes it natural to "point" and guide the mag into the magwell.
How important is it to carry a spare magazine?
In my opinion it is just as important as carrying the gun in the first place.
Any gun can malfunction. With semi-auto pistols, it is frequently a magazine issue with a malfunction occurs.
In a gunfight, I don't want to be the one killed for the lack of ability to shoot back.
That means, if I run out of bullets, I want the ability to insert more bullets. If my gun fails, I want the ability to rip out a possible bad magazine and insert a completely fresh one.
I will point out to you that everyone who spouts off facts and figures and probabilities and such dribble for not needing to carry a spare reload, all have one thing in common. They have likely never been involved in an actual gunfight. So take it for what it's worth.
Of the 6 or 7 people I have know who have actually been in a gunfight, not one has ever said, they wished they had a smaller caliber gun, or less ammo.
Semper Fi

I don't think it's worth having code changes because of this one. In fact, using contenteditable in form fields is a very uncommon practice. So, let's wait for some one coming with this need from the real world.
Additionally, this issue also impacts <input> elements.
Even when considering the fix needed, I would make it inside the protectReadOnly and unprotectReadyOnly functions directly, instead of bringing overhead to processor.

It is such an honor to be mentioned in a book, and especially this one! Paul Clifford has recently released an ebook called Tweeting Church: Good News in Only 140 Characters. I was able to meet Paul while he was writing this book, and so he wrote a section about me since we have such common goals and ideas relating to churches and social media! This book is a very detailed look at how churches and ministries can be effective on Twitter. The Amazon book description:
We live in a time marked by change. Electronic communications enable any message to reach virtually any person in virtually any part of the world. In this world, how can something originally written so long ago compete? Is the message that was originally called "Good News" still as relevant in the age of electrons as it was in the time of papyrus?
In the follow-up to his successful book Podcasting Church, Paul Clifford seeks to answer these questions and more:
What is Twitter?
What kind of account should you have?
How can you regularly tweet without repeating yourself?
How do you keep spammers at bay?
How can you reach people that need to hear Christ's message?
This is a book for every Christian interested in spreading Christ's message of hope and forgiveness, in an age increasingly marked by distraction and background noise, needs to read. This is an opportunity that the Church can't pass up to communicate its message.

EASTON, Pa. – Freshman Grant Lamberton (Newark, Del./Salesianum) went 5-for-5, and Jeff Singer (Riverton, N.J./Gloucester C.C./Holy Cross) won his third straight start as Monmouth University baseball defeated Lafayette on Wednesday afternoon, 9-2. The Hawks improve to 12-19, while Lafayette falls to 11-23 on the year.
Singer worked six innings, allowing a run on six hits, walking nobody and striking out four. Singer worked his scoreless innings streak to 17 before allowing a run in the third. Adam Yunginger (Lancaster, Pa./Manheim Township) worked a scoreless seventh and struck out two, while Ricky Dennis (Warrington, Pa./Central Bucks South) struck out three in the eighth. Harry Paytas (Sea Girt, N.J./Wall) allowed a run in the ninth. Seven Lafayette pitchers combined to allow nine runs on 14 hits.
Lamberton went 5-for-5 with two runs scored and an RBI. Connor White (Wall, N.J./Wall) and Jon Guida (Martinsville, N.J./Bridgewater-Raritan) drove in two runs apiece and Chris Gaetano (Madison Township, Pa./Scranton Preparatory) scored twice. Jackson Kramer had two hits for Lafayette.
Monmouth got things started early, when Joe Bamford (Washington, N.J./Northampton C.C./Warren Hills Regional) beat out a single to shortstop and went to second on an errant pickoff throw. He moved to third on a ground out, and scored when Lafayette shortstop Andrew Landolfi booted Jake Gronsky (Danville, Pa./Danville Area)'s ground ball. Andrew Santamauro doubled with one down in the fifth for Lafayette, and after Kramer singled him to third, Alex Woinski lined a sacrifice fly to tie the game at three.
The rest of the afternoon proved to be all Monmouth, beginning with a three-run fourth. Craig Sweeney (Middletown, N.J./Middletown South) struck out for what should have been the second out, but the ball skipped away from the catcher, Austen Maggin, and Sweeney reached first. Lamberton singled to left, and Gaetano was hit by a pitch to fill the bases with two outs. White singled into the hole at shortstop, and Guida lined a two-run single to left to give the Hawks a 4-1 lead.
Gronsky ripped a one-out double that one-hopped the right center field fence with one out in the fifth, and Sweeney wasted no time depositing the first pitch he saw into left center for a run-scoring single. After working a perfect fourth, Singer allowed a leadoff base runner in the bottom of the fifth, but White promptly picked off Maggin to erase any threat.
The Hawks broke the game open in the seventh, scoring four in the inning. Sweeney and Danny Avella (Matawan, N.J./Christian Brothers Academy) walked to start things, and Lamberton put a run-scoring single into left. Gaetano followed by dropping a single into right to score a run, and White got another run across, reaching on an error. With Guida batting and one out, Gaetano sprinted home on a wild pitch to make it 9-1 Hawks.
The Leopards added a ninth inning run against Paytas, when Nick Murray was hit by a pitch and worked his way around the bases to score.
Monmouth returns to action at home on Friday, with a non-conference game at 3:00 p.m. at the MU Baseball Field against Temple.

Price reduced!
Seller is looking for quick closing!
Parrot Tales is back from a multiyear cruise on the East Coast of the US and the Caribbean. She is equipped with all the requirements for extended cruising and has been through many upgrades and additions in the recent past. Engine and generator both are low hours. The interior has the look of a new boat even after 30 years. Heavy duty upgrades to steering and rudder systems. Functional and heavy duty transom arch.
The Gulfstar 45 is a center cockpit design with a beautiful aft master queen cabin and v-berth forward. Known for their strength and durability, these Gulfstars are solid sailers and great cruisers. Never chartered. Needs to be on your short list!
The layout of Parrot Tales is a classic center cockpit design. The aft master cabin has a large centerline berth with a ensuite head and separate shower. The forward guest cabin is a Vee berth and has a connecting head/shower combination which also opens to the salon. The galley is port of the companionway and has a lot of counter space and storage cubbies. Access to the engine space is also under the cockpit in the galley area. The nav station is to starboard.
The salon has two settees and is divided by a folding table. The settees can be used a berths and the stbd settee actually pulls out to make a double.
Dual a/c units provide heat and cooling to the entire interior. Plus there are Hella 12V cabin fans throughout.
The U-shaped galley has a huge double stainless sink in a counter space under the companionway. The fridge has a large top opening access door in the counter and included freezer section. A 2 burner Galley Maid propane stove/oven complete the galley. For quick meals, a microwave is included.
The engine is located in a great location for access and maintenance under the cockpit and just forward of the aft cabin. It is a reliable Perkins 4-108 and was completely rebuilt in 2001. The rebuild included every replaceable part and a new Hurth transmission, More recently the engine motor mounts were ungraded and replaced in 2009, the heat exchanger was flushed and inspected in 2012, and new Stainless Steel exhaust riser was installed in 2010.
Parrot Tales has several redundant systems to provide power including a NexGen 3KW generator located forward in its own sound shield, a Prosine 3000 inverter, two separate battery charges for the house and start batteries, two 130 Watt solar panels with charge controller, and KISS wind generator. The shore power has been upgraded to handle up to 80 amps. In 2011, the engine alternator was upgraded to a Balmar 120A system.
The 12V system has dedicated batteries for the house, engine and genset. Shore power uses a single 50A cord that supplies 2 separate 110V busses.
On board there are full electronic systems for navigation and communication including Nexus Multi and Nexus Wind displays over the companionway hatch. At the helm is the Autopilot and Chartplotter.
At the nav station below, is a Icom IC M700TY single sideband, Standard Horizon VHF, connections for satellite phone and independent depth display.
There are redundant and separate antennae for most systems.
The highlight of the deck and cockpit is the heavy duty hard bimini and the aluminum transom arch/davits. The bimini has heavy duty stainless struts with canvas dodger, shade panels, and enclosures. The arch serves a dinghy davit, solar panel mount, and antennae mounts. Access ladder mounts at the side gates. Cockpit cushions and Sport-A-Seats compliment the cockpit.
There is also a foredeck shade awning that mounts forward of the mast and is supported by the spinnaker halyard.
The ground tackle is a new Rocna 73lb primary anchor on 200 ft of 3/8" chain. The secondary anchor is a 35lb Delta on 200 ft of chain/rope rode. And as backup anchor, there is a Fortress FX-37 in storage bag with 200 ft of chain/rope rode. There is also a custom anchor snubber/bridle with SS chain hook.
The windlass is a Lofrans 1200W with horizontal gypsyand foot controls that feed the rode directly into the chain locker below.
A life raft is located on the aft deck in a custom SS rack. Last inspection was April, 2015.
The sails and rig are relatively new as they were replaced and/or upgraded in the past 8 years. Main and genoa in 2007. Spinnaker and working jib in 2009. All standing rigging in 2007 and running rigging in 2011. Last year the spars were all stripped and repainted with Awlgrip.
Mainsail is a battened classic main with halyards accessed on the mast mounted winches. It is in a lazy bag with lazy jacks. The main sheet winch is located just aft of the helm for easy single handing.
The furling 130% genoa is controlled by oversized Lewmar 48 winches.
Included in the sail compliment is an asymmetrical spinnaker with sock and a smaller working 90% jib.
Just a few of the upgrades and changes that have been added to Parrot Tales that are not on the standard Hirsh 45 include:
All personal items not directly associated with the boat are excluded, including the clock, barometer, and bell. The 15 hp outboard is also excluded.

Researchers at the University of Tübingen have discovered a microscopic fungus which promotes growth in certain plants. "This fungus, native to Europe, is an organic fertilizer with the potential to increase yields of crops such as wheat and maize," says Sigisfredo Garnica of the Institute of Evolution and Ecology.
Dr. Garnica and Dr. Kai Riess discovered the Serendipita herbamans fungus in the roots of various plant species. Working with their colleagues at the Institute, Professor Franz Oberwinkler and Dr. Robert Bauer, they used molecular methods to establish that the tiny fungus was present in root cells. Vast numbers of fungi live in symbiosis with plants. Like animals, fungi cannot photosynthesize – they get all the products of photosynthesis from plants in the form of carbohydrates. In return, they are specialized in breaking down organic materials in the soil, releasing nutrients for their hosts to use. Only a few such symbiotic fungi are known to be cultivatable in the laboratory.

For many cyclists, the daily ride to and from work is the best – and sometimes only – riding opportunity of the day. So why not use it for training, too?
- 10 steps to becoming a fitter, faster, better cyclist
- 5 steps to recover faster from a hard ride
- What's the best bike for cycle commuting?
We're not suggesting you take risks on the road, but by mixing up the pace, effort and intensity of your ride, while keeping safety paramount, you can turn a commute into a great training session.
Riding through urban traffic is inevitably stop-start, so use this to your training advantage with high-intensity speed and power intervals. Don't ride through red lights - use them and other forced stops for trackstand practice and sprint starts.
All interval repetitions improve lactic acid tolerance and will recruit and train your fast-twitch, glycolytic muscle fibres – the ones that don't need oxygen from the lungs to function.
Raising your lactate threshold will help you go harder and further before lactate builds up in the muscles quicker than you can clear it and tiredness sets in. Fast twitch muscle fibres are not just for sprinting but also for when you're exhausted and digging deep on those big one-day challenge rides.
Here are five workouts you can do on your daily bicycle commute.
1. Sprint training
While interval 'reps' will increase your ability to rise to tough challenges, sprint repetitions increase flat-out speed. The difference is in the length of recovery between efforts – with the sprints you should leave between five and 20 minutes between bursts, whether that's a sprint up through the gears from the lights, or chasing down that fakenger on a singlespeed up ahead. But as intervals are a series of all-out efforts with short recovery periods in between, this could be a series of lights or junctions that you sprint away from.
2. Fartlek intervals
Alternatively, let the traffic and road conditions dictate the timing and duration of your sprints. Translating as 'speed play', the fartlek interval workout relies on randomly occurring and lasting efforts at about 80 percent of your maximum (where safe) and works your body's aerobic and anaerobic systems.
On a commute, this might mean sprinting away from lights or junctions, trying to keep up with traffic for 30 seconds before backing off and sitting up, or until the next red light or jam makes you stop. Repeat this in series of three to five sprints, varying the length of sprint and the length of recovery in between.
3. Cadence intervals
In any of the above sprint exercises, stop changing up the gears early as you speed up and add the extra pace with extra pedalling speed. Stay seated and concentrate on keeping your upper body stable to avoid rocking or bouncing.
Spin up to above 100rpm, or about 10 percent higher than your normal pedalling cadence. This workout improves your core strength, pedalling technique and cadence at all speeds. It'll improve your endurance and acceleration, too.
4. Big gear intervals
Pushing high-resistance gears for repeated intervals, even at lower speeds and on the flat, will build leg strength, but beware of how your manoeuvrability will be affected in traffic.
5. The Food Chain Number game
Be honest, no one likes being overtaken or 'dropped', and this is the origin of the Food Chain Number game. According to ChrisLS on the now 3061-page-long thread Silly Commuting Racing in the Commuting section of our forum, the FCN game is defined as this: "Dropping/pulling anyone higher in the Food Chain Number makes you stronger and more attractive. Getting dropped or trying and failing to keep up with anyone lower means your soul hires a kudos remover to lower your self worth."
The full ranking system is on the thread, from scooters at the top to shopping bikes with baskets at the bottom. There are also FCN adjusters which add shame or kudos points to your ranking such as being overtaken by a beard, or overtaking someone with aerobars or Lycra.

For press inquiries or to schedule an interview with the Attorney General please contact:
503-378-6002 or email@example.com
About Ellen F. Rosenblum
Attorney General Hardy Myers today announced that Daphne Singingtree of Eugene, executive director of the Oregon School of Midwifery (OSM), will significantly change the way in which she operates her school under an Assurance of Voluntary Compliance (AVC) filed today in Marion County Circuit Court. The agreement admits no law violation.
"Students from all over the United States and Canada paid up to $13,000 in advanced tuition to OSM without being told that only a small percentage of students ever graduate from the program," Myers said. "In addition, students were never told that the school's future accreditation was in question."
Department of Justice investigators, representing the financial fraud/consumer protection and charitable activities sections, found violations of both the Unlawful Trade Practices Act and the Oregon Nonprofit Laws.
Consumer Protection investigators found that Singingtree misrepresented the school's accreditation by the Midwifery Education Accreditation Council (MEAC) by describing the accreditation "imminent" when in truth the school was only pre-accredited. Ultimately, MEAC denied accreditation and the defendant is appealing the decision.
Of the dozens of enrolled students, Singingtree could name only two students as having successfully completed the program. The low graduation rate was caused in part by the school's inability to provide local opportunities for students to attend the 40 births necessary to graduate. In Oregon, students must pass the NARM examination and attend 50 births in order to be licensed as Direct Entry Midwives (DEM).
Investigation by the Charitable Activities staff found Singingtree's record keeping and accounting practices to be so inadequate that it was impossible to determine where the school's finances ended and the defendant's began. Records showed the school would pay the monthly balance on Singingtree's credit card and on several occasions, OSM also paid for her daughters' credit cards. Singingtree also is known as Daphne Duncan and Daphne Ward.
Oregon law requires charities to maintain three-member governing boards. The Oregon School of Midwifery only had two members, Singingtree and her ex-roommate, who had not spoken to her for at least two years but had given her a signed proxy to vote on his behalf.
Under the Assurance, Singingtree must comply with the consumer protection and charitable activities laws and provide full tuition refunds to students who were scheduled to complete their first year at OSM this summer. However, if OSM becomes fully accredited by MEAC by September 2002, these students will only received a refund calculated on a prorated basis.
Students, who have withdrawn from the program since January 1, 1998 and requested refunds, will receive payments on a prorated basis. Singingtree each year must dedicate seven percent of the school's gross revenue toward making the refunds.
Students, who do not receive a full refund by January 1, 2002, will be paid nine percent interest a year on the outstanding balance.
New students enrolling in OSM only must pay for the two-year academic portion of their training and not for the clinical training portion. Students will only pay one term's tuition in advance of the training.
OSM also must clearly and conspicuously display the school's detailed tuition refund policy in the student handbook along with the number of OSM students who are enrolled in the program, the number of students who have successfully completed the program, the length of time it actually took the graduating students to complete the program, the number of graduates who have successfully taken the North American Registry of Midwives (NARM) examination and those graduates who have been licensed as Direct Entry Midwives in Oregon. This information also must appear on the school's web sites.
Within the next 60 days, OSM must appoint three individuals unrelated to the Executive Director to serve on the Board of Directors. The Board will approve a job description and salary for the Executive Director position and be responsible for all future bookkeeping functions.
Consumers wanting more detailed information on the settlement may call the Attorney General's consumer hotline at (503) 378-4320 (Salem area only), (503) 229-5576 (Portland area only), toll-free at 1-877-877-9392 or the Justice Charitable Activities section at (503) 229-5725. Information is online at www.doj.state.or.us.
Students interested in midwifery training in Oregon may call the Oregon Board of Direct Entry Midwifery at (503) 378-8667, ext. 4321. The Board is online at www.hlo.state.or.us.
