Whilst I understand in a way why Tyson Fury did what he did as he has managed to generate quite a bit of hype for himself after his recent calling out of Cain Velasquez.
What baffles me though is why loads of Pro MMA fighters are sending challenges out to Tyson Fury in response to that? Even guys at lighter weights!
I appreciate everyone having an opinion on the subject matter but they are all just fueling his ego.
What he said was stupid, now everyone wants to try and get their 5 minutes of fame off the back of it and make challenges etc. He talks crap, I have just ignored it as I know it's all garbage and what he is trying to do.
Don't be suckered in as the sacrificial lamb!

Learning To Complain
28 November 2012
Learning To Complain
A group of specialised complaint handling organisations has developed resources for teaching the language of complaint to new speakers of English. The resources are available free online for anyone to use.
The group has previously worked together to produce www.complaintline.org.nz, an online directory to help people identify the right place to make a complaint. The organisations' research suggests people from minority groups are under-represented as complainants. People who speak languages other than English, or are not confident readers, are less likely to use specialised complaint handling services.
The resources are being sent to community organisations to use in language classes or by home tutors. Anyone can download the sheets from www.complaintline.org.nz.
The language of complaint resources cover four topics:
• It's OK to
• Complaints about goods or services
• Writing to complain
• Where to get more help with resolving a complaint
Several of the complaint handling organisations that developed the resources will be speaking about their work at the Consumer Affairs Consumer Rights Day in Tauranga today and will launch the group initiative.

CEO and chairman, Bashas' Family of Stores
Describe your very first job and what lessons you learned from it.
I was 11 years old and it was summer vacation. My mom was making a cake and needed something for it, so she sent me to our family store on my bicycle to pick it up. When I got there, my Uncle Ike thought it was time I had a job, so he told me to go home, take my mother the ingredients for the cake, and come back and start sweeping the store. I pedaled home, horrified, and told my mother the crazy idea my uncle had. She agreed with my uncle! So I went back to the store, grabbed the broom, and I've never stopped working. What I learned from that experience is that a family business really is no respecter of age. It's something that's in your blood.

Dr. Debbie Cohen-Stein, a kidney specialist at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, spent two weeks in Gondar, Ethiopia, late last year to treat one of the last waves of Falash Mura to emigrate to the Jewish state.
Dr. Debbie Cohen-Stein, a kidney specialist at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, has seen her share of rural poverty.
As a medical student at the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, the South African native worked in clinics in poor, black townships. But nothing prepared her for what she saw when she entered the Jewish Agency for Israel's compound in Gondar, Ethiopia, said the 47-year-old mother of four.
The Wynnewood resident spent two weeks there late last year to treat one of the last waves of Falash Mura — Ethiopians who are descendants from converts to Christianity but have returned to Judaism — to emigrate to the Jewish state.
The Jews there, she said, didn't have shoes, lived 10 to 12 people per room and were malnourished.
"A lot of them had never seen a doctor," she said. "This is the most rural place you can imagine. There is no paved road. There is no economy there. There is no infrastructure."
She marveled that the Jewish Agency, working closely with the American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee, was able to get any food or medical care to the compound at all, given its remoteness and distance from the capital.
"They were doing the best they could do," she said. "It was incredible that the Jewish Agency went in there and didn't abandon these people."
The Jewish Agency announced in June that it would be ending aliyah from Ethiopia with two flights carrying about 400 people at the end of August. It also announced it would close the Gondar compound, ending a nearly 30-year effort to bring the Jews of Ethiopia to Israel.
Some of the better known phases, such as Operation Moses in 1984 and Operation Solomon in 1991, brought an estimated tens of thousands of Ethiopians to Israel. Since the late 1990s, thousands of Falash Mura have gained intermittent permission. In the last three years, about 200 Falash Mura each month have immigrated to Israel.
Cohen-Stein was in the eastern African country while on sabbatical from Penn, volunteering through the nonprofit group Jewish Healthcare International. The organization sends doctors to communities in need, both Jewish and non-Jewish, throughout the world.
Her team saw about 400 people who had already been approved to emigrate and assigned to a flight. While there, she also gave lectures in treating hypertension at a nearby hospital and medical school.
She found that many of the patients had untreated maladies: poor eyesight, malaria, tuberculosis and advanced cancer. Few had problems that are typical in Western societies like diabetes or high blood preassure, she said.
The doctors' role, she said, was not to delay the individuals from making aliyah — unless they had a highly communicable disease. Rather, it was to let officials and doctors at various absorption centers in Israel know what to expect and to begin treatment immediately.
She said she's continually amazed that Israel will accept immigrants — many of them older and ill — who won't bring any immediate benefit to the country's economy. But she said that from what she could see, she was confident that the children would adapt quickly, and the number of examples of Ethiopians who moved to Israel as teenagers or young adults and found great success is reassuring.
From a Jewish perspective, the physician said, she was moved by the hundreds of people who prayed in the compound's synagogue three times a day. A day school parent who travels to Israel frequently, Cohen-Stein said she'd never before seen such religious fervor or Jewish pride.
The Jewish presence in Gondar is a huge anchor of the economy there, she said, and many non-Jews are somehow employed in the operation.
"Once they pull out," she said "it is going to affect the general population because it is such a poor place."

Fox News' Forecast Comes From Farmers' Almanac, The "Ouija Board Of Weather"
Fox Uses Dubious Cold Weather Prediction To Cast Doubt On Climate Change
Blog ››› ››› SHAUNA THEEL
Fox News seized on a cold winter forecast from the Farmers' Almanac to mock global warming. But meteorologists say the periodical, whose prediction has been hyped by many in the media, is "like the Ouija board of weather."
Fox News, along with some other conservative media outlets, used the publication's prediction to cast doubt on global warming:
Even if the publication's predictions were accurate, it would do nothing to contradict the long-term trend of warmer global temperatures, including warmer winters in the U.S.:
Yet more remarkable than Fox's annual mockery of global warming is that its source essentially gives out the horoscopes of the weather world. Farmers' Almanac broadcasts vague predictions based on a "secret formula" of "tides, astronomical events" and other factors known only to their pseudonymous weatherman Caleb Weatherbee. It then declares itself correct 80 percent of the time -- apparently based on its readers' assessments, as the outlet has not done any actual analysis. Due to this, a Fox News meteorologist previously said she was "weary" of Almanac forecasts.
Yet now the channel is hyping a prediction that The Washington Post Chief Meteorologist Jason Samenow called "outrageous" and "baseless," concluding that "only a fool would take them seriously."
What's worse is that Fox News is not alone: The Associated Press, in a widely reprinted article, broadcast the same weather predictions from the Farmers' Almanac, noting that "[m]odern scientists don't put much stock in" the Farmers' Alamanac's methods, but then credulously repeating its claim that it is "correct about 80 percent of the time." Additionally, in a seeming violation of their own stylebook, AP referred to "Caleb Weatherbee" without explicitly stating that this is a pseudonym.

We rely on our cars to get us where we need to go safely. Vehicle recalls are in the news lately, and that may make you wonder whether your car is safe to drive. Learning about car recalls can help you make sense of the latest news, and know where to turn for more information.
There are two types of auto recalls: voluntary ones by the vehicle manufacturer and ones required by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). Recalls are usually issued to improve your car, but not all recalls are because of safety issues. For example, your car could be recalled because it consumes too much oil or the air conditioning doesn't work properly.
To find out if your car is subject to a recall:

Satan's Sly Game the False Religion of People-worship
What Happens when a Society Turns to Idolatry?
A few signs let us better understand the "religion" of worshipping people pervading a society. Of these, the most basic is the heedless behavior exhibited by those who forget the existence of Allah and that He is with them at every moment. Instead of seeking Allah's favor, a person who adopts such a pattern of behavior blindly does what others ask of him—even if it is contrary to religious morality—and will be prepared to suffer every humiliation and degradation.
For example, some behave in a way contrary to the teaching of the Qur'an because they want certain others to accept them and be taken into their group. Though they know their behavior is wrong, still they are willing to do every sort of disgraceful thing to get others to like them. As a result, they experience pangs of conscience in this life and will be repaid for their insincerity in the life to come.
Such people think they are ingratiated themselves with others, but Allah knows their real intentions. They forget Allah, but He sees them every moment and knows what they conceal in their hearts. And though other people may hold positive views about them, Allah knows their insincerity.
For example, a person may see that his boss's moral character is corrupt, that he treats the poor and needy unjustly and has made the kind of profit forbidden by Allah. Yet for the sake of a promotion, this employee pretends not to notice his boss's behavior. He tries his best to make his boss think he is a loyal, hard worker and so he turns a blind eye to actions that Allah has forbidden. But Allah sees him, and knows everything he thinks and everything he says. He does nothing to win Allah's favor, but all the things he does to curry the approval of others is written down in the Presence of Allah.
In fact, people with such errant beliefs, seeking to influence others in their own favor become like puppets. Others control their strings, and they carry out to the letter what is wanted of them, regardless of whether it is right or wrong, lawful or forbidden. In order to satisfy only a few worldly desires and selfish passions, they agree to become a part of a superstitious system that ignores Allah and cares nothing for earning His favor. They are ready to behave in ways that humiliate themselves and degrade their humanity; they live under others' control, without the human dignity that faith affords. As a result, they comprise a frightening group of people who are insincere, disrespectful and hypocritical towards others. They do not know what love really is and live only for their own gain. They lock themselves into a system where real friendship is absent and every relationship is based on profit. Within this system, have created with their own hands, they are—as Allah tells in Surat al-Isra'—lonely and helpless, far from the mercy and assistance of Allah.
Do not set up any other god together with Allah and so sit there reviled and forsaken. (Surat al-Isra', 22)
Why do they turn to the idolatry of worshipping people? Some of the basic reasons can be listed as follows:
They Forget Allah and Want to Earn the Favor of Others
People who set up other idols beside Allah ignore His existence and absolute control over the universe. As a result of their heedless attitude, they think themselves autonomous. They believe that they can do whatever they want, live the kind of lives they desire according to their own plans; think that they have all total free will and that no one can interfere with them. They are rebels who accept no authority. They disregard the facts that everything is under the eternal power of Allah and that they are servants. They don't understand that the whole universe has a fate that Allah has determined for it and that no creature can escape its pre-ordained fate. As a result, they live their lives trying to fulfill their desires and passions in this world and forget about earning the favor of Allah.
In feeling irresponsible, however, they are quite wrong. Even though they may disregard Allah's existence, He is always with them. He sees everything they do and knows their eagerness to please others instead of Him. For example, He sees their efforts to show affection towards others in order to win their affection in return; and He sees the pains they take to persuade others to like them. Allah tells in the Qur'an about the efforts of those to please others besides Him:
Some people set up equals to Allah, loving them as they should love Allah. But those who believe have greater love for Allah... (Surat al-Baqara, 165)
Such people work very hard to get the object of their affection to think that they really love and value him. But were they asked to show the same eagerness and determination towards Allah, they would refuse. For example, if asked to pray five times a day, they would most probably decline, making the excuse that they have little time to do this and cannot allot times for prayer in the course of a busy workday. They realize that if they did establish their prayers, none of their associates would appreciate them. In other words, according to his distorted view, fulfilling this act of worship would bring them no concrete benefits. Furthermore, they may be heedless only because they wouldn't want anyone to say that they have converted and turned to religion. As a result of such choices, they will earn the approbation and superficial love and appreciation of a handful of people. On the other hand, they do not realize that by not fulfilling an act of worship that Allah has required of all His servants, they have lost His eternal love and mercy.
For this reason, Allah warns His servants in the Qur'an against the danger of neglecting to seek His pleasure and trying to please other people instead. In the Qur'an Allah says that He has commanded human beings to purify themselves from all kinds of idolatry and to turn to Him in prayer:
Turning towards Him. Fear Him and establish prayer. Do not be among the idolaters. (Surat ar-Rum, 31)
They Fear People More Than They Do Allah
To be terrified of some power or event often gives a person the will to perform many things in the very best way. The intensity of this fear leads a person to make unexpectedly clear decisions even if he feels inadequate to face the threat.
People with deep, intense fear in their hearts will do anything they have to. For example, a hungry person with no money will do everything he can to accept a job offer. He will not miss the opportunity, but beforehand, will try to learn about the rules of the company and the kind of people who work there. At his interview, he will take pains not to make any mistakes and to present himself well. He will be very respectful towards the interviewers to make sure that his personality and experience make a good impression; and will be careful not to say anything that conflicts with this. He will not lose his train of thought or act inappropriately. His urgent fears and anxieties for the future keep him alert. He will do everything to convince the company officials that he is just the person they need.
On the job, another individual will be very afraid of getting caught doing something that the owner of the company frowns on. He won't be late for work, make personal phone calls or do other such things not acceptable in the company. He also warns other workers to be careful about these rules and regulations. As a worker, he is afraid of being called undisciplined or lax, because such negative opinions may result in material loss and stand in the way of a good life in this world. Discipline in work and appropriate behavior are of course important, but the error lies in acting appropriately only out of fear of others. Such good behavior, determined only by a situation will not last. A person who doesn't fear Allah will easily do all matter of things contrary to His discipline, if he assumes his so doing will not raise any eyebrows.
For this reason, the individual who behaves appropriately should never forget the important fact that the only power to be feared is Allah. It is He Who has created and controls the people and events that he gets excited about, fears and whose importance he exaggerates. In Allah's Sight, neither wealth nor power has any significance; all that is important is people's moral excellence and fear of Him. Moreover, people encounter only those events that are written in their destiny. If the man in our example was fated to take that job, no power apart from Allah's could change the course of events. No matter how many errors or mistakes he might make, that person is accepted for that job if Allah has determined it. But if his fate has been determined otherwise, he won't land that job, no matter what efforts he puts forth, because he cannot avoid the fate that Allah has determined for him.
Nothing occurs, either in the earth or in yourselves, without its being in a Book before We make it happen. That is something easy for Allah. (Surat al-Hadid, 22)
Always remember, this individual in our example may die before he can take that job. In that case, the worldly fears he has experienced all his life and the autonomy he has imputed to other people would have no further meaning. All his efforts will have been in vain. On the Day of Judgment, none of those whose opinions he valued so highly will be of any support to him. As a punishment for neglecting to win Allah's favor throughout his life and trying to please other people instead, he will spend not a thousand—not ten thousand, not a million or even a billion years, unless otherwise willed by Allah—but an eternity suffering the pangs of Hell. If he doesn't repent and ask Allah's forgiveness in his lifetime, for his sins and evil deeds Allah will condemn him to live in Hell for all eternity.
Our Prophet's (May Allah bless him and grant him peace) advice to the faithful further explains the importance of fear of Allah and repentance:
O Muadh, I give you instruction: Fear Allah while passing by each stone, tree, and heaps of earth. Make repentance anew after committing any sin. Repent secretly for secret sin and openly for open sin. (Imam Ghazzali, Ihya Ulum-Id-Din (The Book of Religious Learnings), Islamic Book Service, New Delhi, 2001, Volume II, p. 236)
So, when we think about these realities, we can more easily understand that the fear of Allah is much more important than all these other fears. In the Qur'an Allah speaks about this great reality in these words:
… So fear Allah. And know that you will be gathered back to Him. (Surat al-Baqara, 203)

Katie Ledecky broke Janet Evans' 25-year-old meeting record to claim the women's 1500 metres freestyle at the U.S. National Championships on Saturday, and becoming the second fastest American of all time in the event.
Ledecky finished in 15:47.15 and was ahead of compatriot Kate Ziegler's 2007 world record of 15:42.54 through 800 metres before backing off, still beating second place getter Chloe Sutton by more than 20 seconds.
It was also the fastest time of the year and capped a great meeting, which doubled as selection trials for the Barcelona world championships from July 28-Aug.4, for Ledecky who also won the 400 and 800 freestyle titles.
"I was really happy with it," the 16-year-old told reporters. "It was a swim I was looking forward to all week. I just wanted to go out with a bang.
"I just wanted to swim a controlled swim, feel good and see what I could do and I'm looking forward to seeing what the U.S. can do in Barcelona."
Olympic champion Ryan Lochte claimed the men's 200 individual medley, also in the fastest time of the year at 1:55.44.
Lochte was ahead of world record pace but faded in the back half much to his disappointment.
"That's the story of this meet for me - going out fast and holding on for dear life," he said.
"I have four more weeks until worlds. Hopefully my legs won't be as tired."
Caitlyn Leverenz won the women's 200 IM.
Nathan Adrian won the men's 50 freestyle ahead of Anthony Ervin while the evergreen Natalie Coughlin won the women's 50 to qualify for her sixth world championships team.

Ingredient Testing: All ingredients are carefully inspected upon receipt, sampled, and held under quarantine until analytical testing is completed to confirm that they meet all specifications for purity, activity, and physical characteristics. All materials undergo thorough testing prior to release for manufacturing. Any material that does not meet all specifications is rejected. Natrol's reputation for having strict acceptance criteria and rejecting unsuitable materials is well known throughout the nutraceutical industry. In-Process Testing: During the manufacturing process, testing is also conducted to assure that each product conforms to the specifications established for it. Finished Product Testing: All manufactured products undergo final analytical testing to ensure their safety, purity, and activity levels. Final testing includes physical and chemical analyses and microbiological testing to guarantee each Natrol product meets all quality specifications. Sensitive analytical testing is also performed to ensure that their products are below the legal limit (California Proposition 65) for heavy metals (Lead, Cadmium, Arsenic, and Mercury). Document Control: All aspects of the quality program and test results are thoroughly documented. Traceability of every ingredient used in each of their products is an absolute requirement of their system. Record Retention: All production and testing records are maintained in safekeeping for several years. Regular Quality Audits: Natrol undergoes regular quality audits by its licensing and certifying agencies. Natrol also conduct internal audits of their procedures and processes to ensure compliance within their organization. Natrol's consumers can be assured of the safety and effectiveness of Natrol's products no matter where the raw materials originate because of the extensive testing and GMP quality procedures they maintain.

I recently read an article by what I would call a "power reader." He reads at least two hours per day, at least 100 books a year and often twice that many. Not surprisingly, he reads in all the obvious places: home, trains, planes, buses, public parks, as well as the not so obvious: during concerts and plays, waiting for people to emerge from comas, during a medical treatment. He reads mostly fiction.
He writes that he has figured out why he reads so much: he wants to be somewhere else. He considers his real world to be reasonably satisfactory but the world conjured up by books is a better one. He reads to escape to a more exciting, more rewarding world.
I read a lot too, but not that much. I read more fiction than nonfiction, but still a fair amount of nonfiction. As I think about it, I agree that fiction reading is often to escape to a different world, though I'm not so sure it is always more exciting or rewarding. My nonfiction reading seems to be more about an interest in a different time, place, or person, not necessarily that I want to be there….I want to know about it though.
Beyond that, I'm not going to overly analyze why I read. I just know I enjoy it. Why do you read?

Quick Jabs: Pacquiao-Marquez V, Golden Boy's generosity, 50 Cent's future; more
Some quick jabs...
• While some have called for Manny Pacquiao to retire following his brutal sixth-round knockout loss to Juan Manuel Marquez last Saturday -- most notably his wife, Jinkee, and mother, Dionisia -- don't expect Pacquiao to walk away. I spoke with several fighters this week, including former stablemate Amir Khan and Filipino-American Nonito Donaire, who don't believe they saw signs of a fighter in serious decline. No, Pacquiao is no longer the dominant fighter who tore a path through the 140- and 147-divisions for the last four years. But he is still a top-10 pound-for-pound guy who can beat most in his weight class and be competitive against all. So look for Pacquiao-Marquez V sometime next year, and if Pacquiao wins, expect a sixth installment of this historic rivalry, too.
• Any future meetings between Pacquiao and Marquez need random blood and urine testing. Both Pacquiao and Marquez have fought under suspicion of performance-enhancing drug use, with Marquez's chiseled frame being credited to admitted PED peddler Angel Heredia the latest reason to raise questions. USADA or VADA testing isn't perfect, but it's significantly better than Nevada -- or any state, really -- which only does urine tests.
• Reports persist that the rematch between Seth Mitchell and Johnathan Banks will likely be Feb. 16, likely on HBO. But Banks's promoter, Tom Loeffler, told SI.com that while Golden Boy had exercised the rematch clause for Mitchell, there was nothing official to report, other than Golden Boy CEO Richard Schaefer insisting that HBO will buy it.
• Please, Golden Boy: Don't subject us to Bernard Hopkins-Nathan Cleverly. Hopkins-Tavoris Cloud is a much better fight.
• Here's hoping Bryant Jennings gets a shot at a bigger fight in 2013. Lost amid the bedlam of Saturday in Marquez's win over Pacquiao was the performance of Jennings, who knocked out Bowie Tupou on Saturday night on NBC Sports Network. It was Jennings's fifth win of 2012. Jennings is supremely athletic, and against Tupou showed an ability to get off the deck -- a third-round knockdown which, while not officially scored a knockdown, certainly was. He finished strong, dropping Tupou with a vicious uppercut in the fifth round. Jennings has been chasing 2008 Olympic bronze medalist Deontay Wilder; that's not a bad undercard fight for HBO or Showtime to pick up.
• Nice gesture by Golden Boy, which is offering a special before Saturday's card headlined by Amir Khan and Carlos Molina in Los Angeles. The company will be sponsoring a toy drive and, in order to help get fans into the holiday spirit, will give two tickets to the Khan-Molina fight to anyone who donates an unwrapped, unopened toy with a value of $20 or more (two tickets per toy, per person while supplies last). Fans in Southern California can donate toys on Thursday in the lobby of the Golden Boy building, 626 Wilshire Blvd. Los Angeles.
• Here's hoping Ricky Burns -- whose Dec. 15 fight was scrubbed after Jose Ocampo withdrew -- goes directly into a showdown with Adrien Broner early next year. That's a tremendous fight, maybe the best in the 135-pound division.
• Got to say, hip hop mogul 50 Cent brought a palpable presence to fight week in Las Vegas. Fifty will need plenty of help learning the promotion business, but if he keeps aligning himself with Top Rank, he is going to bring an added dimension to major shows.
• Top Rank's show headlined by Pacquiao and Marquez sold 15,403 tickets for a live gate of $10.88 million. According to the Nevada State Athletic commission, 908 tickets were given away and no tickets – none -- were unsold.
• On this week's SI Boxing Podcast: Former junior welterweight titleholder Amir Khan and super bantamweight titleholder Nonito Donaire drop by. Check it out on SI.com on Friday.

Bunge selected as Mines Faculty Senate Distinguished Lecturer
GOLDEN, Colo., DATE, 2011 – Dr. Annette Bunge, professor emeritus of chemical engineering at Colorado School of Mines, was chosen by her peers as the 2010 Faculty Senate Distinguished Lecturer.
Bunge's lecture, "Changing Times, Changing Mines: Reflections on the Evolution of Mines and its Faculty by a Female Professor Studying Human Skin," will be presented at 4 p.m. on March 23 in Metals Hall in the Green Center, 924 16th St., on the Mines campus.
Dr. Bunge joined the Mines faculty in 1981. She continues to work on research and as a mentor to graduate students, postdoctoral fellows and faculty. Dr. Bunge's academic career has been characterized by transitions. She was the only female student in all of her undergraduate chemical engineering classes at the University of Oklahoma (1972-1975) and at the State University of New York (1975-1976), where she graduated summa cum laude. She was among the first few females to receive a Ph.D. in chemical engineering at Berkeley. At Mines she was the first female professor in the Chemical Engineering Department, and the first female assistant professor at the school to achieve the rank of professor.
In research Dr. Bunge adapted to changing scientific needs by moving from her doctoral work on enhanced oil recovery to her focus for most of the last 25 years: absorption of chemicals into human skin. She was the principal investigator on the first research contracts to Mines from the National Institutes of Health and the Food and Drug Administration. She organized and currently directs the Center for Environmental Risk Assessment at Mines.
Dr. Bunge has B.S. and Ph.D. degrees in chemical engineering from the State University of New York at Buffalo and the University of California, Berkeley, respectively. She has been principal investigator or a significant contributor on research projects totaling more than $10 million. She has published more than 60 refereed papers, 20 book chapters and 130 conference proceedings, and she has given invited lectures at international conferences in Europe, Australia and South America.
The Faculty Senate Distinguished Lecturer Award, established in 1990, gives Mines faculty the opportunity to annually recognize one of their outstanding colleagues. They select a lecturer admired and respected as an educator, as well as a person known for having stimulating ideas to convey and an ability to communicate those ideas effectively.

A fire broke out in a Redlands apartment complex Sunday night, but no one was injured.
The fire was reported about 7:15 p.m. in the 10 block of Kansas Street, according to a Redlands Fire Department news release.
At that time most Redlands Fire Department personnel was dispatched to the fatal bus collision on Highway 38, so firefighters from Loma Linda - who cover the city under a mutual aid agreement - were the first to arrive and start fighting the fire, officials said.
Redlands Firefighters, along with Colton and Grand Terrace firefighters, later arrived to battle the flames.
The fire was knocked down within 15 minutes and contained within 30 minutes, officials said. Crews remained on scene for about two hours.
It originated in the exterior wall of a downstairs apartment, according to the news release. Flames traveled up the wall to the deck patio as well as the patio covering the apartment above.
The cause of the fire, which displaced residents in both apartments, is under investigation.
Officials estimate about $40,000 in damage to the property.

Our mission is to prepare physical therapy residents for advanced specialty practice. The program cultivates high level neurologic physical therapists who integrate the teacher-scholar model into their clinical practice. Through neurologic clinical experiences under the mentorship of master clinicians, along with didactic learning experiences in neurology including both teaching and research, the program develops advanced physical therapy practitioners who care for the whole patient, embodying the spirit of cura personalis.
Residents start the year-long program the 1st Monday of July. They are employed by the Zablocki VA Hospital, and therefore need to be a US citizen. Residents treat their neurologic patient caseload ~30 hrs/wk, rotating through acute inpatient rehab, spinal cord rehab, and outpatient neurology, as well as some outside experiences in pediatrics and traumatic brain injury. Residents are also involved in mentoring sessions with expert clinicians 2-4 hrs/wk, didactic coursework 2 hrs a week, monthly and bimonthly specialty clinics, as well as research involvement and a variety of teaching opportunities at Marquette University throughout the year. Our program became an APTA accredited Neurologic Residency Program in July 2010. Residents who successfully complete the program are eligible to apply to sit for the NCS exam.
We participate in the RF-PTCAS universal application service for residency and fellowship programs, which starts each new year's residency application cycle in October. For details and timely updates go to APTA's website http://www.abptrfe.org/RFPTCAS/ApplicantWebsite/
Contact the Department of Physical Therapy office at (414) 288-7161 with any questions or visit our FAQ.
The residency will always begin the first Monday of July.

Its the repos. Just do "apt-get install tftpd".
hi guys,
what happened to tftpd ?
was it dropped off from BT5 for good or I'm I missing someting?
I used to use tftp to save/load config files to all my juniper/cisco boxes,and varios L2/L3 gear - many times BT4 with tftp was a lifesaver!
is there any chance to get tftp back [yeah I know I can install it on my own or perhaps take the tftpd from BT4 and so on...but - would be great if some things are left intact and consistent]
many thanks
rootless rooter

We are incredibly proud to have two Osprey Athletes who are among the youngest National Caliber mountain bike racers in the world: the Yackle Brothers. But what makes them outstanding is not just their abilities on the bike, but also their incredible work ethic and mentality toward the world. As young individuals who work hard on their sport, they also take a considerable amount of time to contribute to community service, and that's something that we can all learn from (especially during the holiday season) and resolve to do more of. Yackle Brothers Team Director Kevin E. Yackle tells us a little bit more about what the boys have been working on lately:
"Over the Team's race seasons we've accumulated a whole lot of swag that we wanted to find a good home for, so we had an idea to visit a kids hospital to brighten the lives of the kids and give these items away. In September, we contacted Angie McEvers, Child Life Director at Children's Hospital of Renown Hospitals, Reno Nevada. We arranged a visit for November 13 to give a talk and visit child patients. Next, we contacted our Sponsors to inform them of our plans. Though we already had sufficient swag and promotional items from a few sponsors (FSA, Jamis, Yakima, Osprey) some donated additional items. We had two great visits! On November 13th, we raffled just a portion of the promotional items that were Sponsor provided, due to a unusually low patient population.
Mrs. McEvers was delighted to have our Team come provide support to the Kids and it went so well she invited us back for the Children's Hospital Christmas Party on December 9th.
Well, yesterday we attended that event. It was another great experience for our Team and the Hospital. We were blessed to have the opportunity to be involved! We were joined by a few Athletes from the University of Nevada, Reno. A few hundred Hospital patrons, families and children enjoyed the 2 hour program Mrs. McEvers organized.
On Novermber 13th, we gave a talk about our Team's history, showed a video about our Team and spoke about the road to achieve our accomplishments. We set an example, gave inspiration and motivation to kids to get involved in athletics/bicycling. We encouraged the kids to "shoot for the stars" and achieve their dreams. We toured the facility. We meet with Kids who were too sick to leave their rooms. We passed out swag gifts to give encouragement and held a raffle for a Osprey Pack, Light & Motion Bike Light, Ergon Grips and a Jamis Bike jersey.
On December 9th, we prepared a sign board with Team information, sponsor logo and event happenings. Displayed our Race Bikes and components in Feedback Sports stands. Set up a Sign Board. Played a Team video. Showed our Team portfolio. Laid out our 5 groups Raffle Prizes. The boys mingled the room talking to patient kids and families. They passed out small items of sponsor swag. Mrs. McEvers was a very gracious host. She introduced our Team to the audience and invited them to come see and talk with us at our table. She brought Jake and Nye on stage and introduced them and recognized their awesome accomplishment in sport. She invited them up 5 separate times to for them to describe the items in the raffle prize and them present it to the winner. Jake and Nye did a great job as they mention each item with its Brand name. Each of sponsors generous donation was well highlighted.
As expected, I was extremely proud of how the Boys professionally handled this opportunity to be at this Event helping out the Community, Hospital, Children, Team and their Sponsors.
We enjoyed our involvement with the Hospital and will be endeavoring to make this a reoccurring activity.Thanks to our Sponsors for your involvement and assistance with Yackle Brothers Racing efforts to make a difference in our Community!"

Abby Speicher is a dedicated student, one of the top young entrepreneurs at Westminster College.
Last Thursday, it was that same entrepreneurial spirit that led her to skip class for the afternoon. She attended a party instead the launch party for her company, Daakye.
"I had two classes that I didn't go to today so I could take care of the event," Speicher said, "but my teachers were so understanding. They were giving extra credit for students who attended the party. They've been so helpful and incredible."
Westminster's Center for Entrepreneurship helped organize the event. The International Business major's startup is both business and benefaction, a social enterprise that buys handmade purses and wallets in Ghana and sells them in the United States for a profit. A portion of the sales help fund educational fees for local children in Ghana.
Speicher witnessed the struggles in the country firsthand on a trip with her father five years ago. Then 16, Speicher learned to appreciate the culture, the kindness and the curiosity of the children in Christian Village, a city of around 3,000 people.
She spoke about meeting Stephan Danzo, a man who earned $80 a month and spent $68 on school fees alone. Taking a cue from Tom's Shoes , Speicher felt she could make a difference. Danzo now works for her company.
"We wanted a cause that would help children in the long-term, not just a quick fix," Speicher said.
In the language Akan-Twi, Daakye literally means "future." Speicher hopes that her efforts will help provide a brighter one for the Ghana children she now considers her family. Every purse sold pays for one child's education for a week.
Linda Muir, the director of the Center for Entrepreneurship at Westminster, believes Speicher's future is a bright one as well.
"One thing I love about Abby is she's a true humanitarian. She always tells me 'Linda, I'm for the people,'" Muir said. "Even though she's an entrepreneur, she also has a passion to help people. I see her as someone who will always succeed and give back through her success."
On the same day, Speicher launched the company's website, www.daakye.com. Visitors can see profiles of the children, learn more about the mission, and become part of the movement by making a purchase or hosting a purse party.
"It's all about reaching different groups of people," Speicher said. "At my high school, everyone has on the purse. Now, let's try and get everyone at Westminster to have on the purse and watch it grow from there."
Twitter: @sltribSouth
At a glance
As a freshman, Abby Speicher pitched Daakye at Westminster's annual business plan competition. She was the only freshman to make the Top 10, a contest dominated by MBA students.
Speicher's future goals for Daakye are to sell more than 600 purses by Christmas 2012 and 6,000 purses by May 2013. She hopes to sell 15,000 by Christmas of 2013.
The items, from totes to cross-body purses, sell between $15 and $25 online.

The Rangers selected 6-1, 190-pound left winger J.T. Miller from the U.S. developmental team with the 15th overall pick in the first round of the draft.
He is going to college next season and probably a long way from the NHL.
Miller scored 11 goals and 26 assists in 48 games for the USA Under-18 team, and added 4-9-13 to lead the team at the World U-18 championships.
Click here for Miller's bio page on the Rangers' web site.
Some quotes from Miller moments after being picked, from Blueshirts United.
Here are some remarks from Gordie Clark, from Steve Zipay's Blue Notes blog:
At 15, Clark, the team's director of player personnel said, "there was no one (on the board) that had all the qualities that JT had. There could be someone who will score more goals, there could be somebody that's going to be a faster skater, but if you want to put size with skating with character with grit with work ethic with playmaking ability and scoring ability, no one had all those qualities in their game. He had them all."
Here is some Central Scouting info on Miller, and some video.
Here is TSN's pre-draft scouting report on Miller (and others).
Here is one college hockey blog's rundown on Miller.
Here is one from the Blue Seat Blog, more recently.
Miller is committed to attend North Dakota.
Prior to making the pick the Rangers honored fallen enforcer Derek Boogaard. His brother, Aaron, was brought to the podium to make the selection, and received a loud standing ovation.
The official announcement from the Rangers:
U.S. National Development Team forward chosen 15th overall
New York, June 24, 2011 – New York Rangers President and General Manager Glen Sather announced today that the club has selected forward J.T. Miller with the 15th overall pick in the 2011 NHL Entry Draft.
Miller, 18, led Team USA in scoring with 13 points in six tournament contests en route to capturing the gold medal at the 2011 IIHF U-18 World Junior Championship in Germany. He tied for third among all tournament skaters in points, fourth in assists (nine), sixth in goals (four), and seventh with a plus-eight rating. Miller was selected by tournament coaches as Team USA's top player during the elite tournament after leading Team USA in points and assists, and finishing second on the team in goals and plus/minus rating.
The East Palestine, Ohio native skated in 48 games with the U.S. National Under-18 Team (USHL) last season, registering 11 goals and 26 assists for 37 points, along with 80 penalty minutes. Miller established USHL career-highs in games played, assists, points, and penalty minutes, and ranked third on the team in points, and second in assists and penalty minutes. He also established career-highs with two shorthanded goals and three game-winning goals, and notched a USA U-18 career best, two power play goals. His two shorthanded goals tied for the team lead, while his three game-winning goals tied for fourth on the club.
Internationally, Miller registered three goals and eight assists for 11 points in eight contests at the Four Nations Cup in Sundsvall, Sweden and the Five Nations Tournament in Hradec Kralove, Czech Republic. He notched two goals and three assists for five points in four games at the 2010 Four Nations Cup from November 10-14. In addition, Miller tallied six points (one goal, five assists) in four games at the 2011 Five Nations Tournament from February 7-13. He led all tournament skaters with five assists, and ranked seventh in scoring with six points.
The 6-1, 200-pounder has appeared in 95 career games over two seasons with the U.S. National Development Team (USHL), registering 26 goals and 42 assists for 68 points, along with 159 penalty minutes. Miller entered the 2011 NHL Entry Draft as the third-highest ranked U.S.-born skater and 23rd overall among North American skaters in the final Central Scouting Rankings.

Johnson City, Tn. - The Brevard College Cycling team opened up the season on September 6th and 7th at
The first race of the weekend was the downhill event that featured a course well suited to our team. The track featured jumps, rock gardens, and drops that challenged the riders all the way down.
Johanne Tuttle led the team with a win in the women's event, with Julia Tellman following close behind in 4th. Dan Ennis held it down for the men, placing 2nd against some of the best riders in the country. Danny Cesare placed 8th. Tuttle also raced well in the dual Slalom event, placing 3rd. Tellman placed 9th in her first attempt at the discipline.
The men were both put out disappointingly early in their events, as both of them crashed during their runs. Cesare and Ennis placed 5th and 6th respectively.
Moving onto the endurance cross country event, the team had some mixed results. The women raced strong, and surprisingly it was gravity specialist Tuttle that led the results in 3rd. Tellman had a solid race, placing 4th just behind her teammate. On the men's side, it was once again a gravity specialist leading the charge with Ennis getting a very solid 8th place finish. He was followed by Matt St. Marie, Matt Wells, and Tristan Cowie in 9th, 10th, and 11th respectively and Tim Reinhart in 21st. Cowie had a very disappointing race after a hard crash took him out of contention for the win.
In the Men's and Women's B classes, Trey Compton placed 14th followed by James Chaput in 18th. Liz Walker was forced to abandon her race. The final event of the weekend was the short track that saw Tellman earn a 5th place finish, and Tuttle a 10th in the women's event. The men finished with Cowie on top in 5th followed by Wells in 9th, St. Marie in 10th, Ennis in 15th and Reinhart in 28th. The Men's and Women's B races saw
The BC cycling team is back in action as they host their first collegiate event next weekend, September 13-14.

Elop Was Second Choice as Nokia CEO
HELSINKI—Stephen Elop wasn't Nokia Corp.'s first pick as chief executive three years ago, the man many credit with having fueled the company's rise—only to later preside over its decline—says in a memoir released Thursday in Finland.
Jorma Ollila, a well-known Finn who is now nonexecutive chairman of Royal Dutch Shell PLC, was Nokia chairman when Mr. Elop was snatched from Microsoft Corp.'s executive ranks to join the once-dominant handset maker. By the time Mr. Elop arrived, Nokia had fallen behind Apple Inc. and Samsung Electronics Co. in the quickly emerging smartphone market.
In his book, Mr. Ollila—who as chairman in 2010 led the search for a new CEO—describes how he flew to the U.S. that year to interview five potential candidates with suitable backgrounds over the course of three days. After the interviews, Mr. Ollila's primary choice "was the No. 2 man at a well-known American technology company."
Mr. Ollila doesn't name the executive but says the candidate was in his 50s and withdrew himself from the selection process due to personal reasons. That left Mr. Ollila and Nokia's board with the younger Mr. Elop, who impressed them as "a good salesman and a decisive corporate executive," Mr. Ollila writes.
A Nokia spokeswoman declined to comment on behalf of Mr. Elop. The new book—published only in Finnish and titled "Mahdoton Menestys," or "An Impossible Success"—is published as people familiar with the matter say Mr. Elop is a candidate to become Microsoft's next CEO, following the planned retirement of Steve Ballmer.
Last month, Mr. Elop announced the $7 billion sale of Nokia's handset business to Microsoft. He is no longer chief executive of Nokia and is in the process of returning to Microsoft to head up the U.S. software giant's device business.
Under Mr. Elop, Nokia's market share continued to erode and financial losses mounted. In addition to selling assets, he cut thousands of jobs and made major organizational and operational changes, including changing the way Nokia developed its smartphones.
Mr. Ollila served as Nokia's CEO from 1992 to 2006 and as chairman from 1999 to 2012. He played a pivotal role in the Finnish company's rise to be one of most valuable and admired companies in the world.
He has kept a low profile regarding Nokia since leaving the board more than a year ago. In general, he has been supportive of Mr. Elop in his public comments.
In the new book, Mr. Ollila said he was impressed with Mr. Elop's experience in the software industry and his "Finnish-style directness."
However, Mr. Ollila says he also had doubts.
He wondered whether Canadian-born Mr. Elop, now 49, was too much of an American-style corporate executive for the Finnish company. Nokia had cultivated a low-key corporate culture that, for example, was not particularly good at celebrating success, Mr. Ollila writes.
Mr. Ollila also wondered whether Mr. Elop would be sufficiently product-oriented, "because we needed someone who could deliver Steve Jobs-caliber performances."
Mr. Elop took over his new job in September 2010. He officially stepped down in September 2013.
Mr. Elop's tenure marked the advent of the Nokia Lumia smartphones that exclusively run Microsoft Windows Phone software. Nokia will launch its first tablet device next week, according to people familiar with the plan.
Mr. Ollila's book is heavily focused on the rise of the company and ends with Mr. Elop's appointment. Mr. Ollila doesn't discuss in the book the pivotal mobile-operating-system alliance that Nokia and Microsoft struck in 2011, in which Nokia adopted Windows Phone.
This was Mr. Elop's signature strategic move designed to stem the accelerating decline of Nokia's handset business. It also helped cut enormous development costs and reduce the need for some of the software-development activities that previously dominated much of the corporate culture.
Switching over to Windows Phone meant ditching Nokia's in-house Symbian platform. But Windows mobile software has only a sliver of a smartphone-operating-system market dominated by Apple and Google Inc., and this has contributed to muted demand for the Lumia.
While Mr. Ollila doesn't discuss these events in his book, in an interview published Thursday in Finland's largest newspaper, he said Nokia's partnership with Microsoft was a mistake.
"We were not successful in using Microsoft's operating system to create competitive products, or an alternative to the two dominant companies in the field," Mr. Ollila is quoted saying in Helsingin Sanomat.

Post subject: Post-FA 1st round with explanations (suggestions wellcome)
I tried to be very realistic, considering team needs, free agency and combine performances. Feel free to critique it, but please provide reasons as to why you disagree, so I can make changes. Also provide an alternative player (available) that you would like me to pick instead for your team.
I'm not considering trades, as they are impossible to predict, although I'm suggesting possibilities. I will add more rounds after the feedback.
1. Texans - Reggie Bush (RB, USC). No brainer. Jets might try to trade with the texans, to take Bush themselves or to take Leinart. If that happens, the Texans would take D'Brick at 4th.
2. Saints - Jay Cutler (QB, Vanderbilt). Surprise!. Reports are that new coach Payton is in love with Cutler after watching him at the combine, and have him rated higher than Leinart and Young. Truth is, Cutler has more upside than Leinart, and Young is not
the kind of QB that Payton likes. Maybe the saints will get a veteran QB to start the season and then let Cutler take over. Another interesting trade might happen here with the Jets, so the Jets can take Leinart here and then the Saints grab Cutler at 4th. I know people will bash me from doing this pick but it could be possible.
3. Titans - Matt Leinart (QB, USC). They consider drafting Young, and McNair has a little fight with Norm Chow, but Chow is the winner at the end. Young has a great upside but also has a great risk. Leinart is a much safer choice. He can take over McNair
in the middle of the season. Anyway, it's McNair last dance in Tennessee.
FA update: Titans are rumoured to be intered in Dante Culpepper. It might be a smokescreen, but if it happens then the Titans would take DBrick.
4. Jets - D'Brickashaw Ferguson (OT, Virginia). Unable to trade for Bush or Leinart, they make the safe pick. D'Brick will anchor their line for the next decade.
5. Packers - Mario Williams (DE, NCST). They are rebuilding, and SuperMario can have an impact similar to Julius Pepper. Hawk is tempting here, but an elite DE is better than an elite LB.
6. 49rs - Vernon Davis (TE, Maryland). Probably not the position the 49rs need most, but Davis showed huge at the combine, and some regard him as the best player in this draft and to change the standards of the position. I know some 49rs fans would like to take Hawk, but they have a great investment in Alex Smith, and they need to provide him with some weapons, just like Davis.
7. Raiders - Vince Young (QB, Texas). Finally, Young is drafted. If somebody is willing to take huge risks that is Al Davis. Davis can't wait to see how Young and Moss look together. Also, Moss' presence (needing a CB and Safety to cover him) will allow Young
to find running holes easier. Maybe Collins can stay for 1 year, so Young can work on his mechanics and learn how to read NFL defenses.
8. Bills - Haloti Ngata (DT, Oregon). DT is the Bills biggest need and they grab the best of the draft.
9. Lions - AJ Hawk (LB, Ohio State). Marinelli wants players with attitude, and Hawk will be his leader in the defense. If somehow Vernon Davis is still available, Martz would lobby hard to get him.
10. Cardinals Winston Justice (OT, USC). After getting Edge, they will need to open holes for him. Justice has great upside, although he played RT in college. Taking Huff to revamp the secondary is also another chance.
11. Rams - Michael Huff (FS, Texas). The Rams lost Archuleta, so they need to address the secondary. Huff surpassed Jimmy Williams as the best DB.
12. Browns - Manny Lawson (DE/OLB, NCST). After the combine, Lawson is regarded as the best DE/OLB to fit in a 3-4 system and that's exactly what the Browns need.
13. Ravens Broderick Bunkley (DT, Florida St). They need to address the spots of DE and DT after losing Weaver and Kemo in free agency. They also need help on the o-line. This is a difficult pick to predict. It seems the O-line class is stronger in the draft, so they take the second best DT here. Some scouts even like Bunkley better than Ngata.
14. Eagles Chad Greenway (OLB, Iowa). The eagles have a shaky o-line, but Greenway is very good at this point. If they get Arrington on FA, then the pick will be for the o-line.
15. Falcons Jimmy Williams (FS, Virginia Tech). After Huff, Williams is the next best available DB. Ko Simpson is the other chance here.
16. Dolphins Tye Hill (CB, Clemson). After Madisons departure, they need to take a good young CB. Hill seems the best of this years class. Taking an OT like McNeill is also a chance here.
17. Vikings Ernie Sims (OLB, Florida St.). Sims is a great playmakers on the defensive side, and will provide great help to the Vikings. After singing Chester Taylor they no longer need a RB.
18. Cowboys - Marcus McNeill (OT, Auburn). They need help on the line. McNeill is a mauler to help on the running game.
19. Chargers - Ko Simpson (FS, South Carolina). They can improve their secondary with Simpson, the chargers will be very happy that he slipped a little.
20. Chiefs - Antonio Cromartie (CB, Florida St.). After their CB departures, they need to adress that area.
21. Patriots - Lendale White (RB, USC). Dillon is getting old, and White fits well in their system: a big and strong RB. Maroney could also be the pick here.
22. Broncos Santonio Holmes (WR, Ohio State). The eagles need to load on WR to be competitive again. But they also need They take the best of this class. The first WR will be taken here, by the broncos. Who it is will depend on who they think fits better their scheme.
23. Bucs Eric Winston (OT, Miami). The bucs need help at both LT and RT, and take the best OT available.
24. Bengals (Darnell Bing, SS, USC). Marvin Lewis will take Bing and improve his secondary. USC is great providing safeties to the NFL and Lewis knows that.
25. Giants Bobby Carpenter (OLB, Ohio St.). The giants need linebackers. Carpenters stock has dropped because of his injuries, but he really is a steal in this point.
26. Bears Leonard Pope (TE, Georgia). Grossman needs more targets, and Pope will be a good safety valve.
27. Panthers - Demeco Ryans (OLB, Alabama). Demeco is too good to pass up in this point for they. He is a steal this late.
28. Jaguars DAngelo Williams (RB, Memphis). Taylor is always a play away from being injured. They need a RB they can trust. DAngelo is a steal being taken this late.
29. Broncos - Mathias Kiwanuka (DE, Boston College). His stock has dropped, and the Broncos will be very happy to find this steal. Tamba Hali could also go here.
30. Colts Laurence Maroney (RB, Minnesota). They still get a top RB without trading up. They are very pleased that Maroney is here for them, he will fill the void left by Edges departure.
31. Seahawks - Max Jean Gilles (OG, Georgia). It seems they will lose Hutchinson in FA. So they draft a replacement.
32. Steelers - Chad Jackson (WR, Florida). More than anything they need another WR. Jackson had a good combine and is fast just like Randle El was.
Go Bucs !!

For the 49ers, they already have Eric Johnson TE, but it's also hard to pas on a talent like that
For the lions, they have lehman, holmes, bailey at LB, Hawk is good but if he goes there he won't make as much an impact as somewhere else.
For the panthers, o-line should be better with the addition of Hartwig, they have invested alot in Wharton at LT so i don't think they would be getting an OT. A OG is not worth that high of a pick, so they will probably go with a LB. WR and TE and S are their other needs now but their arn't any WR going that high or S, so maybe also a TE.

You dont take the 2nd or 3rd best Qb when the best one is still on the board. If they want Cutler they trade down and get extra picks.

i voted average on this mock good effort but a couple things dont make sense to me
first of all no way the saints pick cutler over matt leinhart
I personally love jay cutler and feel he has the best Potential in the draft
but if i am the saints i need a starter right now and matt leinhart is the man
he is the number 2 pick right now
the cards can trade down and get winston justice i love the pick but not the greatest value at 10
especially with huff on the board actually no way in h!!! they pass on huff

GSA Signs Memorandum of Understanding with Small Business Administration
MOU to Further Increase Government Contracts with Women-Owned Businesses
March 25, 1999
Contact: April Kaufman (202) 501-1231
WASHINGTON, DC -- Joining forces with the Federal government's leading advocate for America's small businesses, the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) is leveraging its role as the government's provider of office space, supplies, services, and telecommunications to increase federal contracts with women-owned businesses.
In a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), GSA and the Small Business Administration (SBA) agreed to work together "to support the requirements of FASA," the Federal Acquisition Streamlining Act of 1994. This landmark legislation established President Clinto''s government-wide goal of awarding 5% of each agency's contract dollars to women entrepreneurs.
Dietra Ford, Associate Administrator for the Office of Enterprise Development, announced the MOU this morning at Access to Success in the 21st Century, a panel discussion GSA hosted about current initiatives to enhance federal procurement opportunities for women.
The Office of Enterprise Development, whose goal is to increase the participation of small, minority-, and women-owned businesses in Federal procurement, has implemented many policy and program initiatives to help GSA meet and exceed President Clinton's 5% goal.
"As a result of the innovative people and programs at GSA, we have made great progress toward the President's goal of awarding 5% of GSA's contract dollars to women-owned businesses," said Ford. "This Administration's commitment to small, minority- and women-owned businesses has led to many initiatives, like this Memorandum of Understanding between GSA and SBA, that really benefit America's 8 million women business owners."
GSA's procurements with women-owned businesses increased from $97 million in 1992 to $261 million in 1998. Over the past fiscal year alone, business with women-owned small businesses has more than doubled.
The MOU lays out and expands GSA's plans for further increasing contracts with women-owned businesses, for example:
* Appoint women's business advocates in GSA's Public Buildings Service, Federal Technology Service, and Federal Supply Service. Advocates will be a direct liaison between each service and the women-owned business community and work to ensure consideration of women-owned businesses for all procurement opportunities
* Insitute 25 "enterprise days," at least two in each of GSA's 11 regions, for women business owners to meet with agency representatives and discuss procurement opportunities and how to do business with GSA.
* Develop a mentor-prot�g� program to facilitate and enhance the viability of women-owned businesses in GSA's contracting process.
The MOU was signed by GSA Administrator David J. Barram, SBA Administrator Aida Alvarez, GSA Associate Administrator for Enterprise Development Dietra Ford, and SBA Associate Administrator for Government Contracting Judith Roussel.

US Watchdog: Surveillance by NSA is illegal, must end
(NEWSER) – President Obama's proposed NSA reformsaren't nearly enough, says an independent federal agency that serves as a privacy watchdog. In fact, the Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board thinks the NSA's surveillance is illegal and should be shut down, the New York Times reports. The board takes particular aim at the legal underpinnings of the surveillance, Section 215 of the Patriot Act. The government maintains that the law gives the NSA a green light to collect all phone records in the US, but the board disagrees. The law requires that such records be relevant to an investigation, and it's impossible that the billions obtained daily could be used for a single investigation "without redefining that word in a manner that is circular, unlimited in scope," concludes the report, per the Washington Post.

Welcome to FreeMD, a site that offers free virtual symptom checker that can help you determine if you need to head to the emergency room or schedule a trip to your family doctor. While it may feel like a real doctor visit, you should not use it to replace regular medical care.
If you have any questions about how you should be using this site, I suggest checking out the About section. There you'll find what the site is all about and access to the different FAQ's that they have written up for the site.
When you arrive at the site you will find the navigational tabs: Home, Symptom Checkup, Injury Checkup, Disease Checkup, Women's Checkup, Pregnancy Checkup, Baby Checkup, and Men's Checkup. Below that you'll find a symptom search engine, and beneath that you'll find specific system checkers: Is it the Flu?, Is it a Migraine?, Abdominal Pain?, Chest Pain?, and Heartburn? If you scroll down further you'll find the sections: The Doctor is In and Did You Know? Each of those sections have links under them to pertinent and interesting information.
The symptom checker is very thorough. You'll answer a set of questions like: Did you take your temperature? Click yes if you did, and then provide what the temperature was. Answer each question that comes up, and then you'll be taken to the results page where you will be given a list of what might be wrong with you, where you should go to get treated (home, doctor's office, or emergency room), and an option to e-mail this report to your physician.
I think this site is an amazing tool to help you decide whether you need to head straight to the emergency room or schedule an appointment with your doctor. I also think it would be extremely useful to new parents who are going through their first pregnancy, or running into those first scary times that their child is sick.
