Did the U.S. Withdraw from Iraq Too Soon? >
U.S. Withdrawal Came at Exactly the Right Time
The withdrawal demonstrated to the people of Iraq and their neighbors that democracy works
January 23, 2012
The U.S. withdrawal from Iraq at the end of 2011 came at exactly the right time. It will have benefits for us and for the Iraqis.
The U.S. benefits fall into four areas.
[Iran Could Strike US in Afghanistan, Iraq.]
First, by ending its military mission in Iraq, the U.S. will be able to reduce total defense spending, which in real terms is higher than at any time since World War II. Ending the war in Iraq will save close to $100 billion a year. This will be an important step in dealing with our massive fiscal debt, which Admiral Mike Mullen, the recently departed chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, argued is the greatest threat to our national security.
Second, by living up to the agreement that President Bush signed in December 2008, the U.S. will enhance its standing in the Arab and Muslim world. By keeping our word we will undermine the narrative promulgated by groups like al Qaeda that we are an imperialist occupying power, like the Europeans who previously wreaked such havoc in the Muslim world.
Third, it will relieve the strain on our ground forces, who have been deployed numerous times since 9/11; this will allow them to have sufficient time at home to get their lives together and develop the skills needed for dealing with future threats.
[With Leaner Military, a New Focus on China.]
Fourth, the withdrawal will help us in the coming negotiations with the Taliban on ending the war in Afghanistan. If we pressured the Iraqis to allow us to undo our agreement with that country, it would have been difficult for Afghans to trust any agreement we might make with them.
The Iraqis will also reap the benefits. First, had we forced Maliki to renegotiate the 2008 agreement, his governing coalition would have fallen apart. Maliki would have lost the support of radical cleric Moqtada al-Sadr, and likely lost his majority hold in the parliament.
Second, the withdrawal demonstrated to the people of Iraq and their neighbors that democracy works. Even if Maliki wanted us to stay, he knew that the parliament would not have approved it as long as the American troops had immunity from prosecution.
[See a collection of political cartoons on Iran.]
Third, our military departure will give the Iraqis the incentive to make the political and economic compromises necessary to create a viable state that balances the interests of the Shiites, Sunnis, and Kurds.
Whether they will do that or not is up to them. We have done all that we can and all that we should.

Climate South East is not a traditional green organisation, insists coordinator Kristen Guida. Rather than seek ways to reduce carbon emissions, which is the focus of innumerable environmental projects, CSE wants to help businesses adapt to the challenges of climate change.
"It started about 12 years ago," she says. "A lot of organisations were starting to deal with environmental issues and carbon reduction and there was a lot of evidence coming to light that even if we stopped all carbon emissions immediately there would still be some climate change because of past emissions built into the system."
In the South East, various interested groups commissioned a report to find out what those impacts might be for sectors such as business, tourism and biodiversity.
Kristen says: "It was about trying to think, 'Now we've started to do some of the damage, how would that affect us?' – things like increased storminess, heatwaves, warmer winters, wetter summers."
From that initial report, Climate South East was formed and over the years has continued to focus on supporting organisations to understand what the potential impacts of climate change are for them and helping them to work out ways of addressing them, such as the combined impacts of hotter summers and water scarcity on tourism, or a decrease in food security and broken supply chains for catering businesses. For the past three years, the organisation was funded by Defra, thanks to a national requirement for all local authorities to look at adaptation to climate change. However, the Coalition Government scrapped the necessity for any kind of local adaptation plan. Kristen says it is a great frustration, since many authorities had recognised that climate risk planning isn't an additional bonus but an important part of long-term decision and policy making.
She says: "There had been a lot of progress made over the past three years but then the work just stopped. It's been a bit of scramble to make sure we can collect the good stuff and that it's not lost.
It's a big challenge. A lot of local authority officers say they had a great programme but have no justification for working on it now because budget cuts have meant so much scaling back."
Since the change, CSE has linked up with other regional climate partnerships to form a national group, Climate UK, in an effort to keep alive a lot of the knowledge gained .
While the adaptation agenda is different to the more commonly known efforts at mitigation, there are undeniably links between the two, and planning for adaptation is as vital as emission reduction.
Kristen says: "It's unbelievably important that we don't think of it as giving up. Anyone who takes climate change seriously knows it's absolutely urgent we reduce emissions but because of the damage already done we have to adapt. The people who will be most vulnerable are already the people most vulnerable in society."
Ultimately, it comes down to the great British pastime of talking about weather and how it's going to change.
"We already aren't prepared for the weather we do have," Kristen says. "Snow and floods are a problem, the 2003 heatwave killed between 30,000 and 70,000 people in Europe. We need to look to the future and realise we have to live with the consequences of any decision we make now for a very long time."

With his 30 minute prime time advertisement running tonight on TV, Barack Obama most certainly showcases the big time advantage he has over John McCain when it comes to money in this year's Presidential race.
"You can see it in terms of the amount of money spent on the TV, on the air war," says political analyst James Thurber, who teaches about campaigns at American University in Washington, D.C.
"It's 4:1 in Virginia, 7:1 in Colorado. It's making a difference."
When Obama raised $66 million in August, it was a big deal.
But then he raised $150 million in September.
Now he's buying up advertising time on radio and TV in states that are unlikely to go to the Democrats, like Montana. But that has forced Republicans to put up ads of their own, worried that Obama's money might be moving the race towards the Blue team.
McCain meanwhile stuck with his promise to accept limited public financing which Obama had originally said he would do too.
That has limited McCain, even with extra money added in by the Republican National Committee and outside groups, leaving McCain at a disadvantage.
Not only has it allowed Obama to put more ads up on TV and radio, but he can also hire more people to run more offices in more states.
"The ground game in my opinion is going to make a significant difference in the competitive states that were won by Bush last time," said Thurber.
And for now, Obama has more paid staffers and volunteers than McCain, all part of Howard Dean's much maligned 50 state strategy.
Will it work? Well, it sure doesn't hurt.

Huma Abedin, the wife of Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-N.Y.), has for years drawn notice in Washington. In a town that demands conservative conformity, she has been seen as a high-powered professional with exotic beauty and a closet full of Prada suits and heels.
Now, with her husband's admission of sexually explicit Internet and phone exchanges with several women, Abedin, 35, joins a more pedestrian group — the wives of wayward and powerful husbands. And her dilemma may be even greater than previously thought after the New York Times reported late Wednesday that the senior State Department aide is pregnant with the couple's first child.

On the first Sunday of July the Orthodox Church celebrates the Synaxis of All Saints who shined brightly in Crete. Crete, throughout its history, has been blessed by God to have had many holy Christian personalities that were either born there or taught there.
Christianity in Crete begins with the arrival of the Apostle Titus, the first bishop of Crete ordained by St. Paul, together with the Apostle Paul, around 62 or 63 AD.

A Very Vintage Day Out
My friend Haeme and I went down to Very Vintage Day Out on Sunday 14th April at the Alexander Park show grounds in Auckland. The event was created and set up so that people of all things vintage could come together and well, celebrate it.
Patrons were able to mingle amongst other people walking around in elaborate costumes and full regalia, and were treated to workshops on make-up and hair (imagine dressing up as your favourite old school Hollywood starlet!), live music, quirky accessories and hats, and of course, a large selection of vintage clothes. If you want to embrace your inner rockabilly, then this is the place for you.
I snapped a few pictures of some very lovely ladies decked out in beautiful late '50s dresses, which definitely was the overall feel to the day. There were even some men wondering around dressed in old military uniforms (which made for great photo opportunities).
One of the highlights of the day for me was meeting the gorgeous Rose Jackson and Claire Gormly. Both women own vintage styling companies; Rose owns Decadia (Auckland) and Claire, The Vanity Case (Wellington).
Below: Rose Jackson creates a vintage make-up look on a client.
I thought it was so cool how these women are expects in styling from the 40s and 50s and that you could hire them to style a hens night or a party or something. Such an awesome idea. For more info on vintage styling contact Rose in Auckland at firstname.lastname@example.com and Claire in Wellington at www.thevanitycase.co.nz
I would have to say that my absolute favourite part of the event was the selection of vintage clothes (but hey, I may be a little biased seeing they are my forte). There were some very amazing (and unique) stalls, and great lingerie and designer pieces which you definitely don't see every day.
On the other hand, I thought the lack of food stalls was a bit of a let-down, as well as the general setting and size of the event, but considering this was the first year of the VVDO, it could only get bigger and better from here.

From D Weddings Fall-Winter 2012
You know that movie plotline about a guy and a girl meeting on vacation, falling in love, and living happily ever after? Turns out, it can actually happen. Though they're from Texas and New York, respectively, Ashley Gibbs and Matthew Lopez met while on a May vacation in Miami. Just two months later, Ashley had her first visit to see Matthew in New York. Then in August, it was Matthew's turn to see Big D, and by September, he had decided to make the move to Texas to be with her. "When you know, you know," says Ashley. The couple wed on May 5, 2012, exactly three years after first meeting on the beach.

Hailed as "Ye Most Auncient Towne," in Connecticut, historic Wethersfield is charming enough to make residents and visitors alike forget that they are living in the 21st century. Founded in 1633, this beautiful town is home to a variety of distinctive and lovely historic structures, vintage streets, and quaint public spaces. Wethersfield is home to more than 26,000 people and is located just five miles from the employment hub of Hartford. Wethersfield's population has remained stable for years, as the historic town is built to capacity and enjoys a lively city layout. Quaint shops, narrow streets, old buildings and a bright community spirit make Wethersfield a great place to live. Those searching for Wethersfield apartments for rent will delight in the unique nature of Connecticut's oldest town.
Given that its history is a large part of Wethersfield's appeal, residents here enjoy a strong connection to the city's past. In 1634, adventurers from Watertown, Mass., discovered the deep bend in the Connecticut River. Here, they developed a pattern of trade with local Native American tribes and began to build a commerce-driven settlement. The town grew throughout the next decade and was named Wethersfield upon its incorporation.
Today, Wethersfield's historic nature is pivotal to the its success. A vibrant tourism industry helps support the town's many locally owned restaurants, shops, boutiques and businesses. Those searching for apartments in Wethersfield will be pleased to discover that despite its high desirability, the town's cost of living index is only 108, which is just 8 percent higher than the national average. Though the town remains suburban in nature, nearly 20 percent of residents live and work within the city, while many commute into Wethersfield from other nearby cities. As a result, the town's population only experiences a minimal change during working hours. This keeps businesses thriving and streets bustling, allowing residents to enjoy a high quality of life.
Because of its thriving tourism industry, Wethersfield is home to a variety of attractions. Visitors flock to the town's many historic buildings, many of which are operated by the Wethersfield Historical Society. Some of these must-sees include Hurlbut-Dunham House, Cove Warehouse, Captain James Francis House, Buttolph-Williams House, Old Academy Library and Webb-Deane-Stevens Museum. The community also enjoys the Taste of Wethersfield event, which offers numerous delicious dining options from the town's many local cooks and culinary artisans.

Millions of dogs and cats are put to sleep in animal shelters across the United States each year.
But imagine if you could save some of them with just a couple clicks of your mouse? Thanks to social media, it's not as farfetched as you may think.
It's hard to believe a tail-wagging, yellow Lab named "Splash" was once on death row in an animal shelter.
With the clock ticking, the rescue group "Lucky Lab" posted his picture on its Facebook site in hopes of finding him a home ASAP. One thousand miles away, Peter Christmas and Janet Belsky fell in love with the lab.
"He was an older dog that's hard to adopt and we kinda figured that he was not going to have a very good shot at getting adopted," Christmas said.
Janet soon typed this response on the Facebook post: "With a name like Splash he belongs here on the lake. We would love to take him."

If you think you need to be a Master Chef to make a group of parents and children eager to dig into their food, think again.
Photo gallery
There's not much that compares with the satisfaction of preparing a good home-cooked meal, especially when you know it's about to be enjoyed by the families of seriously ill children being treated at local hospitals and other medical facilities. Just ask the young alumni who recently volunteered to cook for the more than 100 residents of the Ronald McDonald House of Long Island.
"My fellow alumni and I greatly enjoyed the opportunity to cook for the families," said Elisa Douglas '05C, Assistant Director, Alumni Relations. "As we cooked, many residents watched in anticipation of the meal that was to come. They were so happy to partake of the brunch that we worked together as a team to prepare."
Serving the needs of others in real and practical ways has always been at the heart of St. John's University's unique Vincentian mission. Students are immersed in the importance of a commitment to service throughout their time on campus, and so it is not surprising that, even after graduation, many alumni continue to make it an important part of their lives.
For the recent graduates who stood behind the stoves of Ronald McDonald House, this service opportunity allowed them to add a generous helping of love as the special ingredient to an already tasty brunch.
"As a group, we reflected on what a difference a home-cooked meal and welcoming presence can make for others," noted Douglas. "It was a very humbling experience for us to realize how much people can help each other with even the smallest measure of kindness."
There are over 131 Ronald McDonald Houses throughout the United States and another 30 in countries around the world. They offer comfortable living accommodations for families who wish to remain close to their children while they are undergoing intensive medical care for serious, often life-threatening conditions.

Could a Congressman Richard Tisei help bring sanity to his party in Washington?

Matthew Mitchell is a senior research fellow at the Mercatus Center at George Mason University. He blogs about economics at www.NeighborhoodEffects.com.
Since taking office, President Barack Obama has decried the untoward power and influence of "special interests" 208 times. He's not alone. President Ronald Reagan complained about them 151 times and President Harry Truman 110 times. In fact, every president since Herbert Hoover has warned of the dangerous mix of special interests and politics.
But the problem with special interests is that they are only easy to spot when they're not your own. In his 2012 State of the Union, for example, Obama called for an economy in which "everyone plays by the same set of rules." But moments later—and without a hint of irony—the president proudly recounted his administration's rescue of a single firm: General Motors.
According to Bureau of Labor Statistics data, from the beginning of 2009 to the end of 2011, more than 4 million U.S. firms shuttered their doors. The vast majority received no government bailout. How many of the owners and employees of these failed businesses feel that GM had to play by the same set of rules as they did?
[See a collection of political cartoons on the economy.]
Democrats, of course, do not have a monopoly on hypocrisy. Though most Republicans are quick to criticize the president for Solyndra, many are just as quick to protect their own special interests—such as the aerospace industry—from the Budget Control Act's defense cuts. (Never mind that 202 Republicans voted for the measure last August and praised its spirit of "shared sacrifice.")
When governments bestow privileges to particular firms or industries, it is not simply unfair—it is destructive. In a new study for the Mercatus Center at George Mason University, I explore the problems inherent in special interest politics. The record shows that when governments grant privileges to particular firms or industries, the well-heeled and well-connected tend to benefit at the expense of the modest and unknown. Moreover, government-granted privileges misallocate resources, hamper economic growth, foster corruption, and ultimately undermine the legitimacy of both the government and the private sector.
[See a collection of political cartoons on Congress.]
To make matters worse, as the Brookings Institution's Jonathan Rauch describes in Government's End, each of us is a member of some special interest group or another. And each of us, in our own way, benefits from some privilege. "The problem," in his words, "is us."
But this problem may also be part of the solution. Each of us stands to gain if we give up our own privilege in exchange for others giving up theirs. I'll forgo my mortgage interest deduction if it means that farmers forgo their subsidies, health insurers give up their favored tax treatment, and film production companies go without their tax credits. We all stand to gain if we all stop trying to live at one another's expense.
But there is nothing to gain—indeed there is much to lose—if we keep pretending that special interest politics is only a problem when we are talking about someone else's interest.

The project failed to provide any economic benefit, state officials said, whereas the 824 projects accepted into the program apparently did meet that requirement. Nearly $58 million of the total $715.9 million in state grants awarded yesterday went to developments in New York City. [more]

The Official Online RBS 6 Nations Store is open. The store has everything you need to get behind your team during the RBS 6 Nations, plus the store is now fully stocked with a much wider range of rugby merchandise.
Head coach Warren Gatland described Warburton's performance as 'brilliant', citing his departure as a key reason for the defeat but he will now have to reshuffle his back row with Ireland's Sean O'Brien and Wales' Justin Tipuric the leading candidates for the vacant No.7 jersey.
"It is incredibly disappointing to be ruled out of the tour through injury as we head to Sydney for the deciding match," said Warburton, who missed the first two games of the tour with a knee problem.
"I wish the team all the best and hope I can play some part in the build up this week. I am confident that the boys can finish the job off and secure the series win."
With Paul O'Connell, captain of the 2009 tour, ruled out of the series after fracturing his arm in the first Test, Warburton's absence depletes the Lions' leadership ranks further.
Dan Lydiate was captain of the midweek side last Tuesday but Brian O'Driscoll, who has led the side seven times but just once in a Test in 2005, is the favourite without O'Connell or Warburton.

"We were driving up to the Open House family weekend for Camp Shane (a weight loss camp) and I remember my mother saying, 'I hope we find it, I do not want to be late.' I remember saying to myself, 'I hope we never find it.' Little did I know however, Camp Shane would be my home away from home for the next ten summers and now my career of choice," says Jenn. She feels Camp Shane has definitely shaped her into the person she is today: incredibly outgoing, funny, and compassionate. "Today, I am at a place where I MUST lose weight. I am the Assistant Director for the most esteemed weight loss camp in the country. I am embarrassed, I am doing everything in my power to deviate from the question, 'Where are you working?' 'What are you doing with your life?'" says Jenn. "I want to be proud of me, I want for the first time to be able to look at someone and they look at me for who I am on the inside and outside. I want people to want to have a conversation with me because they find me to be interesting. I want this for me, and for no one else."

Rose bushes are stolen a second time from Greater Pines Chapel Missionary Baptist Church
ALBANY, GA -- Someone didn't just stop to smell these roses; they stole them.
Just before a funeral, members of Greater Pines Chapel Missionary Baptist Church on South Jefferson Street noticed some empty spots in their landscaping. They say some of their double knockout roses were stolen.
"And I followed the dirt trail in front of that empty house and it stopped. I walked all the way to the other block but I didn't see any more dirt," says Jimmie Mathis, who helps with landscaping at the church as well as their Sunday School. "They just took a shovel and picking them up."
Mathis says when somebody takes something from the church, they are not just taking from the church but from the Lord.
"It's an awful thing for somebody to steal from the Lord's house," says Deacon Ricardo Sisney.
Sisney says he believes thieves are selling the church's double knock out roses to nearby residents.
"The time and the way it is, we don't know what reason they do it. It might have been because they want to eat, they wanted to buy drugs, we don't' know," says Mathis.
The church did file a police report for the $200 worth of rose bushes that were stolen, and this is not the first time they have. It was just a few months ago that more of the church's double knockout roses were stolen.
"We're just trying to prevent anything like this from happening not just to this church but to any other church around," says Sisney.
Until the thieves are caught, church members say they're praying for them.
Sisney says he hopes anyone who knows who may be stealing their roses or people who bought the roses not knowing that they were stolen contact local police or the church.
He says there is a camera that looks over their parking lot, but thieves are dodging it. Sisney says he plans to put up more cameras around his church.

Sorry, but a security system which is too complex for anyone except distributors with dedicated security hackers to configure (and probably too complex for anyone to configure *safely*; how many bugs are there in that policy again?) is from any practical point of view nearly useless.

I remember having to go through a LOT of systems in the mid/late 1990's where almost everything had been chmod'd 666 or 777 because something hadnt worked and that was the fix to get whatever was broken working.
Not saying that selinux isnt too complicated.. but my feeling of deja-vu is strong.
Posted Apr 22, 2006 22:00 UTC (Sat) by nix (subscriber, #2304) [Link]
Complexity is the enemy of security, and having used it for a while I'm fairly sure that SELinux is way over there on the `too complex' axis.

1) Add them to your /etc/selinux/targeted/src/policy/domains/misc/local.te 2) then "make load" in the /etc/selinux/targeted/src/policy dir to load your new policy 3) file a bugzilla report with the new rules and why.
you'll need the policy sources installed

When you're talking iptables this would be using the LOG target with a rate limit, then adding approriate iptables rules for the good traffic - then setting OUTPUT to DROP by default...
Any whitelist based (read: reject by default, the only reliable approach to system security) system will need to learn what acceptable behaviour is. AppArmor needs this kind of "training", too. Except that AFAIK they have a tool do that mostly automatically, whereas the SELinux reference policy is hand-written to make sure that only needed permissions are granted. SELinux policy files are already very complete, they contain information for hundreds (literally, I just counted 197 policy modules) different services. And no, "ls" is not a service, it doesn't have a policy of it's own... we're talking large, mostly networking applications here.
However, not all features in all services have already been whitelisted. I guess you might not even want to whitelist all of them (thats why there are tuneables/booleans in SELinux). And every now and then you'll be using a local extension.
For example, my OpenVPN server does update the DNS server and it has a status file, which is then read by munin for statistics.
For obvious reasons, OpenVPN *by default* was not allowed to update my DNS or even write it's state file. Nor was munin allowed to read the status file (which has no common location, this is all my own scriptwork)

NFL offseason: Where are your ex-Arizona Wildcats?
Friday, June 18th, 2010NFL teams have been holding minicamps and other offseason training activities, so let's take a look at where former Arizona Wildcats stand as everyone gears up for the start of training camp in late July:
Mike Bell, RB, Philadelphia
Earned a Super Ring with New Orleans last season — leading the Saints in carries during the regular season (172 for 654 yards) — before signing a one-year free-agent deal with the Eagles worth $1.7 million. He is expected to back up second-year pro LeSean McCoy and be a more powerful change of pace.
Lance Briggs, LB, Chicago
The five-time Pro Bowl pick will be going for his seventh consecutive 100-tackle season as he welcomes back Brian Urlacher to the Bears' linebacker corps this season. He's a popular teammate and popular in the Windy City … hey, how else do you get chosen to be a judge at Chicago's version of Playboy's 50th Anniversary Party.
Eben Britton, OT, Jacksonville
A 2009 second-round pick, Britton started 15 games at right tackle last season and looks to be a fixture on the Jags' offensive line, along with fellow second-year pro Eugene Monroe at left tackle.
Copeland Bryan, DE, Detroit
He was signed by the Lions last year after being cut from Buffalo at the end of training camp. He played in five games for Detroit, starting one, making five tackles, including one sack.
Antoine Cason, CB, San Diego
The Chargers traded Antonio Cromartie, so they expect Cason, who has been a nickel back, to take over as a starting cornerback. Kevin Acee of the San Diego Union-Tribune blogged recently that Cason "is having an excellent offseason. He is always on the ball, is blanketing receivers, knows what he's doing. Of course, he hasn't been going against Vincent Jackson or Malcom Floyd (until recently) or even Legedu Naanee." For sure, check out this great story from Acee in April, talking about how Cason spent several weeks training in Tucson with a UA assistant track coach.
Lionel Dotson, DE, Miami
Was on the Dolphins' roster all of last season, but was mostly inactive on game days, appearing in two games. The 2008 seventh-round pick again will be fighting for a roster spot in training camp.
Nick Folk, PK, New York Jets
Folk was super in his first two seasons with the Dallas Cowboys, making 46 of 53 field goal attempts and earning Pro Bowl honors as a rookie in 2007. But he had hip surgery after the 2008 season, struggling to regain his form. The Cowboys cut him in December, and then Folk signed with the Jets in February.
Chris Gronkowski, FB, Dallas
He is versatile as a blocker and pass-catcher, willing to do the blue-collar work. Coach Wade Phillips told DallasCowboys.com, "We'll see when we get the pads on, but he looks good so far."
Rob Gronkowski, TE, Patriots
The second-round rookie is helping to remake the position in New England, which also drafted Florida's Aaron Hernandez in the fourth round. While Hernandez is considered more of a pure pass-catcher, Gronkowski has all-around tight end skills and, according to Patriots.com, made the play of the day at a recent full-squad scrimmage on a pass from Tom Brady.
Chris Henry, RB, Houston
He was the 50th overall pick in the 2007, drafted by Tennessee because of his excellent workout at the scouting combine rather than his production on the field. Henry got little use in his first two years, and the Titans released him early last season. He landed with the Houston Texans, but did not have a carry. He's competing for a roster spot this summer.
Chris Jennings, RB, Cleveland
Jennings has been a nice success story, walking-on to Arizona as a junior college transfer and becoming productive in the running and passing games. Undrafted, he was playing in the Canadian Football League last season when the Browns called, and Jennings was able to stick with the team, rushing 63 times for 220 yards. He'll be facing a roster crunch at running back in training camp.
Michael Johnson, FS, N.Y. Giants
He won a Super Bowl ring with the Giants in the 2007 season and became a starter in 2008, but neither he nor the team's secondary was stellar in 2009. Considering the Giants signed ex-Cardinals safety Antrel Rolle to a five-year, $37 million contract, have youngster Kenny Phillips and veteran Deon Grant, and used a third-round pick on LSU safety Chad Jones … Johnson's days in New York might be numbered.
Spencer Larsen, FB, Denver
The former All-Pac-10 linebacker was a two-way player for his first two seasons in Denver, famously starting at fullback and at linebacker as a rookie. Now, he will be exclusively an offensive player … and you can be sure he'll do it with a great attitude. "Football is football," he told reporters earlier this month. "A lot of it is the same techniques. Linebackers have a different personality but to me it is all football. By doing this, I can still be a special teams member and it is something I care about."

Ethiopia: HIV prevention services for those most at risk
More than 100 million condoms will be distributed annually to sex workers, men who have sex with men and other groups vulnerable to HIV as part of a new five-year programme to be run by the Ethiopian government and the US President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR).
Dubbed MULU, the Amharic word for comprehensive, the US$70 million programme - implemented by the NGOs Population Services International and World Learning - will also target day labourers in the booming construction industry, migrant workers and their partners. "Over the five-year life of MULU prevention, 100 million free condoms per year will be distributed, 2 million counselling and testing sessions will be conducted, and half a million sexually transmitted infection cases will be treated," said Donald Booth, US Ambassador to Ethiopia, launching the programme on 31 May 2012 in the capital, Addis Ababa.
"This programme is going to focus on
getting services for people who practice high-risk behaviours such as having multiple sex partners concurrently," Renee DeMarco, a senior technical advisor to HIV/AIDS Prevention and Social Services at the US Agency for International Development (USAID)-Ethiopia, told IRIN/PlusNews.
Ethiopia has a relatively low national HIV prevalence of 1.5 percent, but a 2011 Demographic and Health Survey puts the rate in urban areas at 5.2 percent, significantly higher than the 0.8 percent generally found in rural areas. Residents of Addis Ababa say the number of sex workers has gone up in recent years, as the city has grown. One of its poorest areas, Autobis Tera, hosts a large number of commercial sex workers, who stand at the gates of their tiny houses every evening waiting for clients. "It's a life - a hard one," said Betty*, who struggles to pay her 400 birr (about $23) rent each month. "On good days I make 20-30 birr [$1.10-$1.70], but those days are very few."
Every cent is precious, and Betty says even the cost of a condom factors into her negotiations with clients. "Some clients come with their own condoms, which is good, but most don't," she said. "Some demand a certain type of condom. I tell them, 'Go buy and bring it yourself'. It is two or three birr for a condom... that buys a breakfast."
The new programme aims to ensure people like Betty use a condom with all their clients. It will also facilitate HIV prevention services for men who have sex with men, who have until now been left out of the country's HIV prevention plans. "We know anal intercourse is the most dangerous way in which you can contract HIV, or spread HIV... persons who are engaging in that behaviour, we want to make sure they get services," said USAID's DeMarco.
"We are very much committed to working with healthcare providers so that they are sensitive to this issue. When their clients come and they have complaints, we want the healthcare providers equipped to provide the services in a way that is responsive to the clients."
The Ethiopian government says the new programme will contribute to its goal to halve the number of new HIV infections and quadruple the distribution of condoms by 2015.
