The Domestic Intelligence Imperative
Something is wrong when sharing requires breaking the law
By Michael Tanji
Driven to desperation by restrictive information sharing rules, and concerned about the terrorist threat to their homes and loved ones, at least five American intelligence officers established a domestic espionage ring. The target of their actions: the federal government. The beneficiary of their actions: Los Angeles. How has it come to this, that otherwise patriotic and loyal citizens feel compelled to work against their government in order to serve and protect their communities?
Testimony by former Gunnery Sgt. Gary Maziarz, who received a 26 month prison sentence for his cooperation with federal prosecutors, revealed that his colleagues in the reserve military intelligence community were using their occasional access to national-level intelligence on terrorism to support their day jobs: countering terrorism at the local government level. One member of the ring works in the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department and the other in the LAPD. Maziarz, then an intelligence analyst at Camp Pendleton, was invaluable to the ring because of his ability to regularly access national intelligence databases and pass a steady stream of information to his accomplices on terrorism suspects in the LA area.
There is no shortage of press reports about the intelligence community's efforts to improve information sharing amongst its various components as well as state and local security organizations. Improved information sharing was a goal of intelligence reform legislation and a variety of policy, procedure and technology efforts within the community are trying to make sharing more efficient and effective. It has not been reported what efforts if any the spy ring might have taken to work within the system to get terrorism intelligence held by national agencies down to the city-level. However, it is likely that seasoned intelligence professionals (at least two members of the spy ring were Colonels) at least tried to work through official channels.We are left to assume that an honest effort was made, but that the results were less than optimal.
The importance of sharing intelligence information both horizontally among peers and vertically among those working different levels of the same intelligence problem cannot be overstated. No one agency has the complete picture of what is going on in the world. Masters of the big-picture are often woefully ignorant of details on the ground; those working the nitty-gritty of problem often toil in ignorance over what role their work plays in the larger scheme of things. The members of this spy ring, and many others like them, stand astride both worlds and realize how vast these gaps are. They understand how useful national resources can be once turned on foreign infiltrators and domestic traitors, but their actions have likely set back the cause of sharing more than it might have helped it.
All of our intelligence capabilities are employed for naught if the information they produce does not get into the hands of those who can best use it. Under the compartmentalization system in the foreign intelligence environment (the practice of keeping discrete parts of a larger effort separate so that only a few people had the full picture of any given program) you could be assured that those operating at the highest levels were making the most informed decisions. Any appearance of inaction or confusion about a strategic move was merely the result of security-enforced ignorance. That this nation has never had a domestic intelligence capability means that our national security leadership is ill-equipped to operate in the domain. Consequently, we cannot assume with any confidence that the lack of sharing is the result of a conscious decision to keep certain people out of the loop. The odds are better that information is not getting to the right place because a) the person that has it does not know the entirety of those who should receive it or b) those that need it have no way of knowing what to ask for or if it even exists.
Most of these problems could be solved or at least alleviated with the establishment of a true, independent domestic intelligence agency. Such an agency could operate with new, effective and legally acceptable policies and procedures to ensure that we can monitor those we need to and avoid infringing the rights of innocents. A new agency would also establish a new culture that is more attuned to the domestic mission and not encumbered by the foreign-intelligence mindset that is used to holding everyone – even sister agencies – at arm's length.
Having a single place to go for information about the domestic threat would greatly simplify and speed information sharing efforts. Currently a major metro police department like Los Angeles might have separate relationships with the CIA, DEA, FBI, NSA, DHS, and various Pentagon elements. Each agency has its own policy and procedure for sharing information, communications channels, delivery mechanisms and security restrictions. Data may also be delivered in formats that are incompatible with local databases or analytical software, adding an additional layer of complexity; lengthening the time analysts need to make sense of the information they are provided, and shortening the time officers can respond to threats.
A single domestic agency is also likely to mean a more open environment in which goals and strategies can be discussed and disagreement arbitrated. Having a single forum for addressing these issues can only help improve understanding between largely incompatible cultures of intelligence and law enforcement. Cops have to understand that one arrest now could mean missing out on the chance to make ten arrests later; spooks have to appreciate the tactile, personal and deadly operating environment in which cops operate.
A dedicated domestic intelligence capability is a necessity that is long overdue. If things hold true to form we are likely to suffer another attack on the homeland before the widespread realization sets in that bloated and ill-conceived measures like the Department of Homeland Security are not the answer to our domestic security woes. A domestic intelligence capability is a hard sell, but the threats are real and the risks of not having such a capability exceedingly high. That we lack the political will to attempt to solve this problem before it is too late speaks more ill of those who chose not to change the system, than of those who felt compelled to break it.

Creating a Group Fitness Advisory Board
If you're a group exercise director/coordinator and programming is your main task, then you know that scheduling classes is a daunting duty. Pleasing the ever-demanding member can be frustrating and exhausting.
I've learned that most members are very willing to provide you with suggestions on how to "improve" your class schedule. As the director of a large facility, I often found my suggestion box overflowing. Members were leaving me anonymous and sometimes critical notes. Talking to every member was impossible. I needed an express line to members. Doug Steinly, the general manager, suggested putting together an advisory board or panel of members who could provide feedback for group exercise.
To begin the task of assembling an advisory board, you need to select a date for the board meeting, explain what the board is, describe how it will improve the lines of communication, and ask members to participate.
Once you have volunteers, don't expect everyone to show up. You need to keep the excitement going by calling to remind everyone who signed up the date of the first meeting.
During the first meeting, you should introduce all the members to each other and select a secretary. Explain the purpose of the advisory board and what you will require of participants. Then you need to prepare a mission statement.
The mission statement of our club's group exercise advisory board and its participants is to:
Act as the liaisons between the group fitness director and other health club members.
Provide the group exercise director with requests, suggestions, complaints.
Represent themselves as members of the board.
Promote all aspects of group fitness and pass along pertinent information.
After your mission statement is created, you should discuss new business and general information. Make sure your board members understand all rules and procedures of the facility and go over them in detail.
Then you need to dissect your group exercise schedule. Board members need to know why you can't schedule certain times or instructors.
Getting the Word In and Out
Use your board for information. Ask about school schedules and kindergarten drop-off times, special holidays, early dismissals, etc. I have a teenager on the board who can tell me what teens want and put up signs in the high school for a fun hip-hop class.
Older board members are imperative, too. Thanks to some of my older board members, I now know why not to put the word "senior" on any schedule. (Older adults don't like to be called "seniors." So on our class schedule, we use a little red heart to mark programs suitable for new exercisers, people over age 50 and those with arthritis.)
While you use your board to get information, you should also use the board to spread information. Make sure all board members know the details about promotions and upcoming events so they can disseminate the club's activities. You should also discuss all schedule changes with them before they take place. This way, problems, issues and questions can be addressed before they occur.
Here's an example of how our board helped us address a problem. The numbers for our 6 a.m. Aqua Class had dropped dramatically in September. To find out why, I asked my board members. One member, an avid aquatics exerciser, said the temperature of the pool was too cold and was preventing older members from taking the 6 a.m. classes. I was able to discuss the issue with the aquatics director and the pool temperature was raised two degrees. The problem was addressed, researched and solved.
Provide Privileges
Members may like to voice their opinions, but they may require incentives to dedicate time to an advisory board. Therefore, participants should be entitled to special privileges. Allow board members to call in advance to reserve equipment for classes (e.g., indoor cycles) and automatically give them spots for special programs and classes. You can also give them a 10 percent discount off of pro shop items or give them a discount on their membership price.
No matter what the incentive, the key to a successful group advisory board depends on two things: keeping your board members informed and following through on the board's suggestions. If the members feel you aren't taking their advice to heart, they will lose interest and drop off the board. But if you take the time to listen, you might be surprised at what an awesome group exercise schedule you can create.

|Costumes for Boys
This homemade costume for boys entered our 2011 Halloween Costume Contest.
A word from Stephanie, the 'Chucky' costume creator:
My son Braydon is wearing the costume of Chucky. I wanted to be different. Every other 2 yr old is a cute puppy, cowboy, disney character, etc. I wanted to go with the scary Halloween theme, so I came up with the idea of Chucky. I bought the clothes and a second hand store. I did his make-up and I used color hairspray for his hair! Enjoy!

It Is All About BTC, LTC, ETH, ZEC mining as well as other alternative crypto currencies
We are hearing information from different sources that AMD may have more serious issues with supplying enough of its Radeon RX 500 series of GPUs on the market for the next couple of months. It is not all about the increased demand from crypto miners as it seems that that the company may be experiencing some other issues that are causing it to not be able to produce enough GPUs to cover the demand. Looking at Ethereum's hashrate and difficulty data however does not yet show a significant slowdown in growth, but the reason for that could easily be the move of existing mining power from other crypto coins to ETH.
With AMD GPUs hard to get for a while now miners are looking for alternatives that are good for Ethereum mining and while Nvidia GPUs are generally more expensive, there are some that are interesting for ETH mining. We are talking about the GTX 1070 that can do 25 MHS stock and 30 MHS or even a bit more after some memory overclocking and it can do it with a reduced TDP. As a result some miners have started looking at GTX 1070 as a solution to use for new mining rigs, again it might be more expensive, but with the high profitability mining now with a more expensive GPU than waiting to possibly secure some cheaper AMD cards in some days or even weeks…
Other more powerful GPUs from Nvidia are not so great for mining Ethereum due to the use of GDDR5X video memory instead of GDDR5 that is found on the GTX 1070. The GDDR5X memory is faster in terms of clock speed and offers more bandwidth, but apparently uses less aggressive timings and as a result is not much faster than the "slower" GDDR5 memory. As a result if you are looking at GTX 1080 or GTX 1080 Ti for Ethereum mining their price/performance ratio is really not attractive at all as far as Ethereum mining goes. Nvidia on the other hand is faster on ZEC and many other algorithms, but then again people are currently crazy about ETH. So do your math and think about it and don't overthrow the GTX 1070 as a good option for Ethereum mining.

Looks like I'm going to be GM'ing next; are there any issues we need to talk about first?
I've looked at the things PT mentioned after her round and I think with regard to the sleeping pill debate, it might be a good idea to leave it unlimited use, but have a "no doing it to the same person twice (or more than twice?) in a row" rule--like frighten (and unlike discombob), it's a "phase before" action and thus more difficult to stop, but it's also a day action, so it's more difficult to track even than frighten is. If you're getting tricked every night, it's going to be easier to get some allies to help you track down and put a stop to that than it is getting sleeping pill'd each day (and neither is any fun )

Salesforce chief gave Steve Jobs "App Store" trademark as token of appreciationSalsesforce chief executive Marc Benioff revealed this week that he handed over his firm's App Store trademark to Apple as a way of thanking co-founder Steve Jobs for personal insight and support over the years.
In an interview with Bloomberg, Benioff said he has on multiple occasions turned to Jobs for professional guidance, specifically recounting a particular event from 2003 when he took members of his executive team to see the iconic Apple leader. The feedback received during that meeting motivated Benioff to focus on building an ecosystem for Salesforces fantastic enterprise application, which is how Jobs described it.
That ecosystem became an app store itself known as the Salesforce App Exchange. However, its creators had originally registered the "App Store" URL and trademarked the phrase, before deciding to settle on App Exchange instead.
Benioff was in the audience in 2008 when Jobs introduced Apple's own App Store to analysts and members of the media. At the end of the presentation, he walked up to Jobs and told him: Im gonna [sic] give you the trademark and the URL because of the help you gave me in 2003.
He has probably given me more help and more advice than just about anybody," Benioff said of Jobs. "And when I get in trouble and I kinda [sic] get lost in my own vision, Ive been fortunate to be able to go and see him and hes been willing to show me the future a couple times.
When asked about Apples future without Jobs, Benioff said he believes that the company can stay on top for quite some time even after losing the best CEO in the world, which is what he considers Jobs to be.
Apples App Store concept became a critical component of Apples mobile ecosystem. The digital download store offers a large inventory of free and paid applications which can be installed and run on iOS devices such as iPhone, iPod touch and iPad. As of May 2011 Apple approved over 500,000 apps, which have been downloaded over 15 billion times by over 200 million iOS users.
The Cupertino-based company's competitors have also embarked on similar initiatives as part of their smartphone environments. Google owns the second most popular application store, the Android Market, and companies like Microsoft, Nokia, RIM and Amazon operate the Windows Phone Marketplace, the Ovi Store, the BlackBerry App World and the Appstore, respectively.
The latter, an online application distribution system for Android devices, sparked tensions between Apple and Amazon due to the similarities between the names of these two digital stores.
Microsoft has also voiced concerns against the App Store trademark for being too generic. The software maker has filed objections to the mark in both in the USA and European Union, where it was backed by various handset makers including HTC, Nokia, or Sony Ericsson.

How much should you spend on an engagement ring?
The short answer is this: Whatever you, personally, can afford.
Google that question, though, and you'll get answers all over the board.
One article I read suggested three month's salary. That's a lot of money if you ask me. The two-month salary recommendation? That came from an advertisement for De Beers, the international diamond megalith.
On average, U.S. couples spent $5,431 on engagement rings in 2012, according to a survey conducted by XO Group, the owner of popular wedding websites TheKnot.com and WeddingChannel.com.
So, what's the "right" answer for a ring? Read more…

Radio Heartland Live Holiday Concerts
Radio Heartland celebrated the 2009 holiday season with the help of some friends. This year we recorded live holiday concerts from three local musical acts and presented them on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.
First, our friends Neal and Leandra held their annual holiday show at the Cedar Cultural Center on Friday, December 11th in front of a sold-out house. Their show featured special guest Dan Schwartz and Radio Heartland also celebrated it's first anniversary at the Cedar that night.
Second, we recorded the Steele Family Singers' 25th anniversary show at the Fitzgerald Theater on December 5th. Fred, J.D., Jevetta, Jearlyn and Billy were joined by their mother, sister Janice and other family members on stage.
And finally, Peter Ostroushko's annual Heartland Holiday show also recorded at the Fitzgerald. Peter's guests were daughter Anna, singers Ruth MacKenzie and Natalie Nowitzki, and the Heartland Band with Dan Chouinard, Gordy Knutson, Dirk Freymuth and Joel Sayles. Local playwright and storyteller Kevin Kling also was featured.

The event was a preview to the 2011 Major League Soccer SuperDraft, which is being held at the Baltimore Convention Center January 13 and 14. Six top 2011 MLS SuperDraft prospects pose at the amphitheater, photo by Jose Argueta/MLS (Photo above). It is often said that dolphins are as smart as humans, so the soccer pundits at Major League Soccer asked the National Aquarium if one the dolphins would be able to predict the top pick of their 2011 draft. Six top SuperDraft prospects, as selected by MLSsoccer.com, were invited to the Aquarium on Wednesday afternoon. They toured the exhibits and enjoyed a dolphin show, and then asked Chesapeake, one of the Aquarium's 9 Atlantic bottlenose dolphins, to predict which one of them would be chosen as the first round pick. To help Chesapeake with her prediction, each prospect kicked a soccer ball with their name written on it into the pool. She was then asked by her trainer to select one of the balls and bring it back to the center of the pool. Chesapeake interacts with soccer balls and other toys every day, so she was excited to play along! The ball she chose, which became her prediction, belonged to A.J. Soares, a University of California defender from Solana Beach, California. Unfortunately, A.J. was not the first pick in today's draft, nor were any of the other players who visited the Aquarium. A.J. was, however, the first of the six players who visited the Aquarium to be drafted. Turns out that Chesapeake made a great prediction! Trainer Allison Ginsburg retrieves soccer ball from Chesapeake, Photo by Jose Argueta/MLS All of the soccer stars were impressed with the strength and agility of our dolphins. They even admitted that the dolphins can juggle soccer balls on their noses much better then they can! The event was hosted by former MLS defender and current MLS Soccer editor-in-chief, Greg Lalas.

I spent last weekend sitting on the porch at my parent's new shore house and it reminded me that when life gets a little crazy, a couple hours by the ocean is the best remedy. And is there anything more heart-warming and charming than beach cottages? I could drive around shore towns all day looking at salt-swept shingle style homes (and is the reason Coastal Living is such a visual feast for me). Being a New Englander born and bred, I will forever have a love for nautically inspired summer style. So why not combine the two? I saw this beachy front door and thought "I want to wear that!"…. so….

The Outfit:
1. (25% off today!) // 2. // 3. // 4. // 5. // 6. // 7. // 8. // 9.
As an alternative to a heavier denim jacket, this new chambray blazer from Two Penny Blue (of which I'm a part of) is a darling, preppy alternative! The best part? The monogram underneath the collar on the back! And don't forget, for every jacket bought on the site a school uniform is donated to a girl in need in Africa (click here to read more)– it's an awesome way to give back a little.

ReMARKable Palate #245: The Mystique of Mastic
This week, I catch up with my old friend Aliza Green, author of many cookbooks and culinary reference books such as the Field Guides to Meat, Seafood, Herbs & Spices, Starting with Ingredients, and many more. Today she's here to talk about mastic, an unusual ingredient to North Americans, but with a storied history and exotic allure, which finds its way into special dishes in many Mediterranean cultures.

text: Friday, September 07, 2012 APTA Develops Patient FAQs to Ease Concerns Over CMS Therapy Cap Letter APTA has learned that a letter issued by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) about the therapy cap has caused some beneficiaries to panic and cancel appointments. CMS recently began issuing letters to Medicare beneficiaries who have received $1,700 or more in outpatient therapy services in calendar 2012. The letter informs beneficiaries that if services are furnished above the therapy cap of $1,880 in 2012, and the requirements for an exception are not met, then the beneficiary would be financially responsibility for these services. To help ease beneficiaries' concerns, APTA has developed a frequently-asked-questions (FAQs) document that physical therapists can download and distribute to patients. Additionally, the document can be accessed by patients directly from APTA's Move Forward consumer website.

On the Realization of Citizen's Abidance by Law
The realization of citizen's abidance by law depends on the establishment of legal norm and public's acceptance on them. The setup of legal norm is the premise for citizen's abidance by law. Legal norm should have the quality of conscience law, especially must contain the spirit of tolerance in modern society so that to create legal environment. Citizen's acceptance on legal norm is necessary condition for the realization of abidance by law which must be originated by the concept of contract and the theoretical logic of keeping promise. It has to make interest as mental requirement, treat fairness and justice as internal quality, and rely on citizens that have legal consciousness.
Key words: Citizen's abidance by law; Legal norm; Ethics of abidance by law

Join the weekly Classic Castle set review discussion. Please post your opinions on the set play ability, piece selection, design, etc. Which sets stand up to our catapult of critique and which ones crumble in shame!
This week's set is G678 Knight's Kingdom Chess Set.
Knight's Kingdom Chess Set was released in 2005 for Knight's Kingdom II. This game has 32 chess pieces and 24 armed minifigures, the most for any castle set. Figures exclusive to this set include the rooks, knights, and good and evil queens.
There are atleast three board variations of this set. The first production run had versions with 4x4 black and white plates glued to a white 32x32 baseplate. Some versions were only partially glued or not glued at all. While making the second production run, LEGO had a shortage of 4x4 plates. Four 2x2 white plates were substituted for each white 4x4 plate. Two 2x4 black plates were substituted for each 4x4 black plate.

Why you should add Patagonia to your Indie/RTW tripPatagonia is a region in the far south of South America in both Argentina and Chile. Visitors to Patagonia will be met with some of the best and most dramatic landscapes in the world.
- If you're a lover of the outdoors, then Patagonia is no doubt on your list of must-see destinations in the world.
- Like hiking? Torres del Paine in Chile is one of the top destinations in the world for hikers, trekkers, and climbers. El Chalten in Argentina has blown up in the past decade, and the surrounding areas make for some of the best hiking and climbing in the region.
- Global warming is happening, and nearly every single glacier in the world is retreating. But if you visit Perito Moreno Glacier, outside of El Calafate, Argentina, you can see one of the only glaciers in the world that is still growing.
- Head to the "end of the world" in Ushuaia, Argentina, the home base for trips to Antarctica.
- Wildlife viewing at its finest in Peninsula Valdes in Argentina. See whales, sea lions, dolphins and walk with penguins.
- Once you're exhausted from all the outdoor activities, explore the Paleontology Museum, which showcases life-sized dinosaur exhibits and nearly 2000 fossil remains.
- See some of the most barren landscapes in the entire world. Patagonia is a huge area, and just staring out the window to the endless expanse of land and sky, with clouds going forever, is something that all lovers of nature should experience at least once in their lives.
Indie travel tips for Patagonia
- The weather in Patagonia is a fickle bitch, with much of region inaccessible during much of the year. Going during summer (December-February) is your best bet for good weather.
- Keep in mind that if you do go during the summer months (and high season), booking ahead is essential. We're all about turning up and figuring it out once you're there, but for Patagonia, it's smarter to plan ahead.
- While the buses in both Argentina and Chile are a step above the rest of the continent, unfortunately the further south you get, the more expensive, and less comfortable, they get.
- Prices in Patagonia are higher than the rest of the respective countries, so plan ahead for your budget. Getting by on less than $50USD per day can be difficult.
- That being said, if you do have your own camping gear and move slowly, that per day price can be lower.

I covered this a while ago, but the concept has finally seen the light of day, check out the sleepbox. It is designed to be a short term hotel room of sorts, allowing travelers to take some time to catch a nap or relax in a clean, comfortable and safe environment.
In mid-August 2011, the first Sleepbox was installed at the Aeroexpress terminal of Sheremetyevo International Airport, Moscow, Russia. It represents the base version made of MDF with a natural ash-tree veneer. This Sleepbox attracted such a great deal of interest from passengers and big companies that chances are first commercially operated boxes will be installed at airports and in the city by the end of this year.

Welcome to PWInsider.com's live coverage of the 2008 TNA Slammiversary PPV from Southaven, MS, right outside of Memphis. TNA played up the Memphis angle with shots of the city and an Elvis impersonator interspersed with TNA footage, pushing the top matches and the wedding later tonight.
TNA set off a ton of pyro to open the show as Mike Tenay and Don West welcomed everyone to the event.
TNA X-Division champion Petey Williams (with Scott Steiner & Rocka Khan) vs. Kaz
Williams is wearing protective gear over his face while Kaz's arm is taped up. They locked up with Williams grabbing a go-behind and wrenching Kaz's arm. Kaz reversed and took control. The dueling chants started almost immediately. Kaz ducked a clothesline and hit a high cross bodyblock for a two count. They go into a series of reversals with two counts. Williams avoided the Wace of the Future but Kaz escaped a Canadian Destroyer attempt. Williams backed out of the ring and was checked out by Scott Steiner.
Kaz took control on Williams with several kicks including a spinkick. It's obvious that Kaz is trying to protect Williams' injuries. They end up outside the ring. Khan distracted Kaz, allowing Williams to come off the apron with a tornado DDT on the floor. He tossed Kaz back into the ring and continued the assault with kicks. Williams whips Kaz into the turnbuckles and Kaz runs into the buckles.
Williams hit a jawbreaker and a spinkick. He charges Kaz in the corner but Kaz turns it into a sunset flip attempt for a two count. Kaz is knocked to the floor. Williams dove over the ropes onto Kaz's shoulders, snapping him into a hurancanrana on the floor. He tosses Kaz back into the ring, then drills him over his knees with a backbreaker for another two count.
Williams suplex Kaz, then ties up Kaz with a submission attempt. Kaz begins to mount a comeback. He and Williams go back and forth until Kaz nailed a kick. They get to their feet and Kaz begins laying in forearms and punches. He nails Williams with a running back elbow, then hits a Kryptonite Krunch for a two count.
Williams missed a charge in the corner and Kaz drilled him with a slingshot into a DDT. Williams rolls out of the ring onto the apron to regain his bearings. Kaz catches him diving back into the ring for another two count. Williams uses a drop toe hold to snap Kaz's neck across the center ropes. Williams snatches him up with a side Russian leg sweep.
Kaz missed a spinkick but was hit with a knee strike to the face. Williams nails Kaz with a flapjack but Kaz kicked up at two. Williams went to the top rope but Kaz dropkicked him.
Kaz called for the Flux Capacitor. He went for it and Williams fought him off with a series of elbows. Williams teased a Canadian Destroyer but Kaz escaped. He went for the Capacitor again but Williams was knocked to the floor. Williams returned to the ring. Kaz went for a backslide, but Williams turned it into a Destroyer attempt. Kaz reversed and hot another Kryptonite Krunch for a two count.
Rocka Khan got into the ring in front of the referee but was kicked by Kaz. As the referee dealt with her, Scott Steiner tossed Williams a pipe and he struck Kaz with it. Williams rolled Kaz over but Kaz, now busted open, got his shoulder up at the last second. Kaz is bleeding a ton.
Williams went for another Destroyer but was rolled up for a two count. Williams turned it into a Sharpshooter but Kaz forced his way up. It was the Wrestlemania 13 Austin-Bret spot, right down to a closeup of Kaz's bloody face fighting through the pain. Kaz fought off Williams. He went to climb to the top but Scott Steiner tried to attack him. He fought Steiner off.
Williams finally caught Kaz with the Destroyer and pinned him to retain the title.
Your winner and still X-Division champion, Petey Williams!
All three continued to beat Kaz after the bell and threw the referee out of the ring. Steiner told Kaz that he was in the wrong place at the wrong time. Steiner said he wanted to know where his title rematch was and wanted to know why he wasn't wrestling tonight. He said TNA was scared to have him as champion. He told Kaz that he was going to make sure Kaz didn't get to have his TNA title shot on Thursday and continued beating him.
Abyss' music played and he came out, complete with pyro, dressed in white mental ward garb with "Parks" on the back and a new grey mask. I thought his last name was Mitchell because Rev. Jim was his father? Abyss hit the ring and challenged Steiner. Steiner shoved Williams into Abyss, who nailed him with the Black Hole Slam. Steiner attacked him but got the Black Hole Slam as well. Rocka Khan made it a trifecta.
The opener was solid but I don't think it was anything over the top great. Still, it was good. It really felt like they were being careful due to Williams' injury, which is understandable. The Abyss return didn't really explain his new direction or give us any clues in what TNA has planned for him, beyond a new costume and mask.
Mike Tenay and Don West began running down the crowd. Mickie Knuckle's TNA ring name is "Moose." I know they want to own the name, but sheesh, that is awful.
Eric Young showed up and said he found Elvis and the "King is on his way." West said he's been dead for 30 years. Young said he looks great and thanked West for believing in him. They showed an empty chair in the front row with a sign that read, "Reserved for Elvis."
They went to a video feature on Kevin Nash, saying his lust for money overpowers his sense of loyalty. The jokes just write themselves.
Jeremy Borash interviewed Nash backstage about his role as the enforcer in the main event. Nash said that the business is about money, not about who the best wrestler is. Nash said he guesses he and Joe are friends, but he sees Joe more as an investment. He said that if Joe loses, Nash loses but if Joe wins, Nash cashes out.
They aired a video feature on the Knockouts.
We saw the first of what will apparently be a series of historic scenes from Memphis, this time Graceland. Well, I'd rather see this than the usual backstage soap opera. Hopefully they show some cool wrestling sites, like the Mid-South Coliseum.
The Beautiful People & Moose vs. Gail Kim & Roxxi & ODB
The babyfaces tripled on Moose early. The story was that Angelina Love and Venvet Sky abandoned her early. They tried to walk out but Kim and ODB jumped them in the aisle.
It settled down into Moose vs. Roxxi. Moose used a flapjack after Angelina distracted her. Angelina tagged in and worked over Roxxi. Moose tagged in and kneed her in the gut. She nailed a TKO on Roxxi for a two count. Sky tagged in and locked on an Octopus, biting Roxxi's hand as she was trapped in the submission.
RoxxI fought her way out and finally tagged Kim in. Kim unloaded with a series of elbows and forearms on Sky. She clotheslined Love off the apron, then nailed Moose as well. Kim came off the top with a flying bodypress for a two count on Sky. Kim rebounded off the ropes, but was tripped by Love, who then attacked Kim's "bad knee" which they claimed earlier had a strained MCL.
Sky began working over the knee, while Kim tried to fight back and even rolled her up at one point. Love tagged in and they worked over Kim. They continued to kick at her knee, pulling down her kneepad to insure it was exposed. Love draped the leg over the bottom rope, then dropped all her weight across it. She then wrapped Kim's leg around the ropes to stretch it. Kim tried to fight her way to a tag, but Love cut her off.
She locked on a single leg Boston Crab. Kim grabbed for the ropes, but Moose and Velvet pulled the rope away from her. Love dragged Kim into the center of the ring. Love tagged in Moose. She grabbed Kim's leg and pulled it up, slamming her knee into the mat. Moose locked on an Oriental Torture Device. ODB broke the move, saving Kim.
Moose wrapped Kim's bad knee around her head, torquing it. Kim got to the ropes but Moose wouldn't let go. Kim finally kicked her off and tagged ODB. ODB hit the ring and cleaned house on Moose and the Beautiful People. Moose charged her in the corner but was caught with an elbow. ODB came off the ropes with a Thesz Press for a two count.
All six brawled in the ring. Kim and Love brawl to the floor. Roxxi and Sky went out of the ring as well. ODB hit an Oklahoma Stampede on Moose for the clean pinfall.
Your winners, Gail Kim & ODB & Roxxi!
A fun six man tag. I don't think this was at the level of some of the blowaway matches the Knockouts have had of late but there was nothing wrong with it.
They aired a video feature on Rhino.
Lauren interviewed Rhino about the King of the Mountain match. Rhino said the last year was the most difficult year of his life, professionally and personally. He said that he realized he had issues that effected him at home and on the road. He said making peace with Christian helped him progress as a person, because sometimes you have to let go and move on. Rhino said winning tonight will give him the confidence he needs. He promised that his second chance started tonight.
They aired a video feature on LAX vs. Team 3D.
TNA Tag Team champs LAX (with Salinas & Hector Guerrero) vs. Team 3D.
Hernandez and Devon opened the bout. Hernandez nailed a shoulderblock while rebounding off the ropes. LAX worked over Devon in the corner and Homicide covered him for a two count. Devon raked Homicide's face and tagged in Brother Ray.
Ray powered Homicide into the corner and called him a "small, small, small, small little man." Homicide ducked under a punch and nailed a hiptoss. Ray came back with a snapmare takeover. The fans chanted for tables.
Ray slammed Homicide, who escaped and nailed an armdrag. He raked Homicide's eyes but Homicide came back. He went for a monkey flip but Homicide couldn't get him over. Ray slapped Homicide, who returned the favor with a dropkick off the ropes. Hernandez tagged in with a flying shoulderblock.
Team 3D ended up on the floor, where Hernandez hit a dive on Devon followed by a Homicide tope con hilo on Ray. Homicide tossed Ray back into the ring for a two count. Homicide went to the top rope but Devon shoved him off the floor. Salinas and Guerrero checked on Homicide, but Ray kicked them away, then whipped Homicide into the guard rail.
Homicide was tossed back into the ring, where Devon choked Homicide against the ropes. Devon hit a back elbow as Homicide rebounded off the ropes. Devon peppered Homicide with right hands in the corner. Ray cranked on Homicide's neck, but Homicide fought his way back. Homicide came off the ropes but was caught with a sideslam.
Devon tagged in and slammed Homicidie. He went for the top rope headbutt but Homicide escaped. Hernandez made the hot tag in, but the referee was distracted by Ray and didn't see it. Ray whipped Homicide into the corner and 3D continued the assault. Devon placed Homicide on top for a superplex but Homicide bit him on the ear, then hit a jawbreaker off the ropes.
Hernandez finally got the hot tag in and cleaned house on 3D. He backdropped them both, then clotheslined Ray. Hernandez held Devon up for a high vertical suplex, then splashed Ray in the corner. Homicide hit a high cross body off the ropes on Ray but Devon made the save at the two count.
Homicide is tossed out of the ring and 3D worked over Hernandez. 3D goes for the Wazzup headbutt, but Homicide tossed Devon off the corner. Hernandez held Ray for Salinas to do the wazzup but Johnny Devine hit the ring with a Singapore Cane. Guerrero pulled Devine out of the ring and caned him. Salinas hit the headbutt but didn't get the pop you'd think for that spot.
3D took control again as Devon worked over Homicide in the corner. Hernandez went under Devon and had him on his shoulders. Homicide came off the top with the gringo cutter. LAX took out Ray and went for the pin but Devon pulled the referee out of the ring. Homicide went after Devon but was slammed into the guard rail.
3D worked over Hernandez and called for the 3D but Homicide came out of nowhere and rolled up Ray for the clean pinfall.
Your winners and still TNA Tag Team champions, LAX!
Another solid match. This was put together more like an old school babyface vs. heel tag match as opposed to an all out brawl and was fine for what it was designed to be.
They aired a Robert Roode video.
Jeremy Borash interviewed Robert Roode. Roode said one of the hardest things for him is to prove that he isn't a rookie but a worthy main eventer. Roode said that he looks around and sees the stars in the locker room that haven't just done the talking but have proven themselves. Roode said that tonight he was going to prove to everyone that he's the very best. TNA is doing a good job building the main event tonight.

Lesson Plan
A Daily DEAR Program: Drop Everything, and Read!
|3 – 5
|Lesson Plan Type
|Recurring Lesson
|Estimated Time
|One 30-minute session daily
|Lesson Author
Blacksburg, Virginia
A daily DEAR program (Drop Everything and Read) provides students with much more than a just-sit-there-and-read experience. It gives the teacher a structured time to touch base with each student over a period of time, assess progress, and target instruction. Even more important, it gives students time to read what they want to read, share what they've read, and receive the support they need for further reading explorations and reflections. Daily reading sessions last between twenty and thirty minutes and are followed by fifteen minutes in which students can write in their reading response logs. When a student completes a book, he or she conferences with the teacher to discuss the book and share his or her reading log. PAL book talk sessions with adult volunteers follow. Volunteers spent less than ten minutes discussing the book with the student and follow up with a brief note of encouragement.
Questions to Use in Book Chats: This printable sheet provides a set of questions that can be used during student-teacher or student-volunteer conferences, after independent reading sessions.
Deb Foertsch, who's reading program inspired this lesson, says her ideas are based on these beliefs about literacy instruction and learning: Students learn best
- in a community of learners;
- in a safe environment;
- when reading, writing, speaking, and listening occur across the curriculum;
- when literacy instruction blends demonstration and explanation, guided and independent practice, teacher and student support, individual pursuits, student choices, and teacher direction; and
- when learning is student-centered, with hands, minds, and hearts engaged.
This lesson draws on all these beliefs as part of a daily reading program where students select their own readings and share their reactions to the texts with others in the learning community.

Being that I'm a less is more person, I'm continually looking for the right metaphor to integrate in my writing as a short cut to understanding.
That's what metaphors do — relate something your audiences don't know or understand to something they are familiar with. It's one of the most reliable techniques there is (as long as you know your audiences well enough to be confident that they'll get it — the same criterion goes for using humor in your communications).
Metaphors are a simple and proven way to build connection with your target audiences. And they frequently deliver a bonus — many metaphors are highly-visual and greatly enliven plain vanilla content to make it much more memorable.
Here's a great metaphor model shared by Mary Beth Lambert, a participant in the recent Total Focus Marketing Plan Workshop held in Seattle. Mary Beth participated on behalf of The WashBoard.org, the program she markets for the Washington Scholarship Coalition.
A program name like that raises so many questions: It is related to clean laundry, highly-developed abs or what? But Mary Beth clarified The WashBoard.org's focus and impact in a second with this metaphor: "It's the E-Harmony for scholarship students."
This metaphor enables us to immediately understand that the program makes matches between students seeking scholarships and scholarship providers. The imagery is still fresh in my mind!
What metaphors have you used that generated an "aha?" And which ones have fallen flat, and why? Please share your metaphor experiences here.

Event detail
Sick Plant Clinic
Special Event | January 4 – December 5, 2020 the first Saturday of the month every month with exceptions | 9 a.m.-12 p.m. | UC Botanical Garden
Join the Garden for our monthly Sick Plant Clinic and find out which diseases ail your plants. Entomologists are also available to identify the pests that are living in your plants too! Please cover plants and disease samples in containers or bags before entering the Garden.

When he walked through the doors of the clinic, Oakland resident Bob Rogers was unaware that his Himalayan cypresses' days were numbered.
Though he'd already received a diagnosis of a beetle infestation from another plant expert, Rogers decided to bring bark and leaf samples up to the monthly sick plant clinic at the UC Berkeley Botanical Garden for a second opinion.
With microscopes and a stack of gardening and insect books for support, the plant experts took a close look at the sample and photos Rogers brought with him.
The prognosis was bleak. While the two 80-year-old trees in Rogers' backyard were indeed suffering from longhorn beetles, they were a symptom of the trees' waning health, not the cause. The panel of five plant experts told him there was little he could do, as his trees' life spans had likely been cut short living outside their native habitat.
Bay Area residents have brought their ailing plants to the sick plant clinic for more than 30 years now for diagnosis by a team of volunteer plant pathologists and entomologists from UC Berkeley and regional parks groups as well as private plant consultants.

The Tizen open-source operating system has been made available as an Alpha-stage release in an attempt to garner interest from developers looking for alternatives to Android, iOS, and other platforms. The new OS is targeted at smart TVs, netbooks, and in-vehicle information systems.
Although classed as an "extremely early release" and therefore not suitable for production environments, Tizen's team has provided operating system source code, including middleware, basic UI, and menu interfaces. In addition to a Tizen SDK preview, there is also a web IDE, an emulator, web API documentation, and supporting Toolchain.
Despite its small fish in big pond status, Tizen has enjoyed backing from Intel, Samsung, and other vendors. Intel's interest is arguably the most curious connection here after the company dropped its support for the MeeGo operating system. The Linux-based platform includes an HTML5 application framework and additional cross-device "user experience" functionality in its interface.
The current Alpha preview is intended for developers to review and provide feedback on Tizen through a general mailing list (for community facing queries) and an application developer mailing list (for questions or feedback about development for applications that will run on top of Tizen using the Tizen SDK and APIs).
The Tizen project resides within the Linux Foundation and is governed by a technical steering group. Tizen-based devices have been discussed for release as early as mid-2012. A group called the Tizen Association has been formed to guide the industry role of Tizen, including gathering of requirements, identification and facilitation of service models, as well as overall industry marketing and education.

Awbury Arboretum on Friday night was one of many venues set up throughout the city for stargazing as part of the ten day Philadelphia Science Festival.
A few dozen or so people showed up at the Arboretum in Germantown. Teenager Maya Anderson came to just hang out with her family and, as a choir student at Settlement Music School, sang impromptu from some of her repertoire. Katie Virtue, a meteorologist and volunteer with the Franklin Institute was on hand to guide visitors to the celestial sights. Some astronomy enthusiasts brought powerful telescopes and lines formed at these for viewing the four moons of Jupiter on this clear, cool spring night.

Born in Lock Haven, Pennsylvania, Sloan moved to Philadelphia as a boy. He attended Central High School but had to leave before graduation to help support his parents and sisters. In 1892 he began to work as an illustrator for the Philadelphia Inquirer and to attend the Spring Garden Institute. In the mid-1890s, Sloan moved to another newspaper, the Philadelphia Press, and attended evening classes at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. Through the academy and the pressrooms, Sloan got to know the men who would become his closest associates during his early career: Robert Henri, William Glackens, Everett Shinn, and George Luks. All of these friends had relocated to New York by the time Sloan brought his wife Dolly there to live in 1904. Supporting himself as a freelance illustrator, Sloan settled in Chelsea and began making etchings and paintings of the streets, shops, and parks of his neighborhood, and the working-class people who he encountered there. His subject matter won him little praise from critics steeped in the genteel tradition, and he and other painters committed to urban realism would eventually be called the Ashcan School. Sloan also painted portraits, nudes, and landscapes, especially after 1914, when he spent his summers away from the city. Sloan participated in, and helped to organize, ground-breaking exhibitions of modern art, including The Eight show at Macbeth Galleries in 1908, the 1910 Exhibition of Independent Artists, and the 1913 Armory Show. Sloan joined the Socialist Party and made powerful illustrations for socialist publications, most notably The Masses, in the teens. In 1912 he moved down to Greenwich Village and became part of the burgeoning art scene there. In 1914, Sloan began to spend his summers in Gloucester, Massachusetts, then a thriving artists' retreat. At the recommendation of Henri, in 1919, he spent his first summer in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Fascinated with the local culture and vibrant art scene, he eventually bought a house in Santa Fe and spent part of each year there. He learned about Native American art and helped to organize the 1931 Exposition of Indian Tribal Arts in New York, an ambitious exhibition that displayed Native American productions as fine art. In 1916, Sloan began teaching at the Art Students League, where he would serve as instructor and president, on and off, through 1938. His students included David Smith, Aaron Bohrod, and Jackson Pollock. In 1939 Sloan's teachings, compiled from notes taken by his student Helen Farr, were published as Gist of Art. As teaching became his primary means of support, he produced fewer illustrations. Although he was a respected artist and teacher, Sloan sold few works in his lifetime and only a handful before 1923. In 1943, Sloan's wife of more than forty years died. The following year, he married his student and longtime friend Helen Farr. Thanks to the generosity of Helen Farr Sloan (1911-2005), the Delaware Art Museum is home to the largest collection of art by Sloan, as well as the John Sloan Manuscript Collection, a treasure trove of archival materials.

In the federal express entry immigration system of Canada, tens of thousands of skilled workers are registered from various countries. All these applicants wait for each every express entry draw eagerly, hoping that they will get invitations for Canadian permanent residency, this time around from IRCC (Immigration Refugees and Citizenship Canada).
Though, the in last three draws, the CRS (Comprehensive Ranking System) score requirement from IRCC has been dropped slightly, however, the deduction was not enough to please tens of thousands of applicants, desperately waiting for their chance. Now, all eyes are on the upcoming, i.e. 1st express entry draw of the December 2019.
As per express entry pools status on November 23, 2019, more than 15,000 candidates are there in the EE pool with CRS score ranging between 451 and 1200. Now, with just two draws left this year (considering fortnightly draw opening trend), it is unlikely that the CRS score requirement come down below the mark of 451 this year. Though, you can expect the same to fall down to a considerable mark next year.

I would like to thank Visas Avenue for helping us out with Canada PR. When my husband first visited the office, they explained the step-by-step process which helped us in understanding things clearly.Special thanks to Ajay who was constantly keeping us posted with the documents that are necessary for the process.

Divyanshu Minawala
Visas Avenue proven to be good consultant when it's regarding processing my Canadian pr. To me they were professional and I'm completely satisfied with the accountability they have shown in my case and follow ups they did for me. Rajeshwari.V is my Case Manager for Canada and she did an excellent job in explaining me the whole process/ documents needed and how/where to get them. Finally i got my pr exactly on/before the expected processing time. I knew the whole process and yet I took help of visas avenue as I wanted professionals to fail-proof my application and make sure it cause no extra unnecessary delays and that's exactly what I got for them. Definitely recommended..!!
Mr. Lenin Reddy
Highly recommend them. This is not my first experience with them, but in fact have got my brother s, bhabhi s and two friend s applications already processed through them. The fees is quite reasonable and transparent and even for a straightforward case, I would recommend going with VA. Special shout out to Vaibhav and Samiksha for standing with me throughout the process. Thanks a ton, guys!""The best thing about Visa Avenues is that when they take up your application, they really get invested in the process. I started off with a 189/190 application but when the application conditions changed, VA advised me to go for 489. This is significant as they normally dont lodge 489 applications, but did it on my behalf as I was already a client. This willingness to go beyond what is strictly required is what I appreciate the most. Further, they are very diligent in going through the requirements and in dotting every i and ticking every t.
Javin Goyal
"Visa Avenues is a superb professional services available for immigration related consulting. They are super prompt, reliable, thorough and provide alternatives if required. My experience is based on working with Samiksha Lal, Vaibhav Saini and Shivangi Arora."
