Testosterone trouble
Science | Doctors raise caution on the growth of treatment for "low T"
"I have low testosterone—there, I said it," says a middle-aged male actor, moments before driving off in a blue convertible with a lovely female companion. "When I started losing energy and becoming moody, that's when I had an honest conversation with my doctor." Next we see a bottle of AndroGel, a prescription gel that will boost testosterone levels once rubbed on a man's shoulders.
The commercial is part of a surge in advertisements and sales for testosterone replacement therapy. Ad spending for drugs like AndroGel catapulted to $107 million in 2012, up from $14 million the year before. Since 2001, testosterone prescriptions have tripled among men over 40, as more ask their doctors to treat "low T," an age-related loss of testosterone marked by fatigue, low libido, or a depressed mood.
But some doctors think testosterone treatment is becoming a fad: Men hoping to boost their energy, muscle mass, or love life effortlessly are getting prescriptions, often without bothering to confirm their deficiency with a blood test. A June study found that a quarter of men taking testosterone replacement therapy had never received a blood test, even though professional guidelines recommend them.
Safety warnings for AndroGel note that children who have skin-to-skin exposure to the gel may experience signs of puberty. In men, the gel may lower sperm count, increase prostate cancer risk, and cause blood clots, sleep apnea, or enlarged breasts. It's not yet clear what the long-term health effects might be, making the treatment's growing popularity cause for concern.
Monkey Business
Capping off a series of moves to shrink the role of chimpanzees in medical research, U.S. officials in June proposed listing captive chimps as an endangered species. Although wild chimps have been protected by the Endangered Species Act since 1990, an exception gives chimp owners in the United States—including researchers—more liberty with their pets or patients, as the case may be. The Fish and Wildlife Service wants to remove that exception.
The change, if adopted, would mean scientists who want to conduct medical tests with chimps in a way that might "harm" or "harass" them (like taking biopsies, injecting them with drugs, or infecting them with viruses) would need a federal license to do so.
Animal welfare groups, including the Jane Goodall Institute and the Humane Society of the United States, have long lobbied for such protections. In 2011 the federal government announced it would no longer fund any but the most necessary chimp research, and in January a federal committee recommended retiring about 450 government-supported chimps from research facilities. —D.J.D.
Black gold rush
Daily crude oil production in the United States rose by a record 1 million barrels per day last year, thanks to hydraulic fracturing technology that is driving a drilling boom. An annual BP analysis reported 2012 production grew by 14 percent—beating out every other country's rate of growth. Previously, the biggest surge in U.S. oil occurred in 1967, when output rose by 640,000 barrels per day. The United States remains the world's third largest oil producer, behind Saudi Arabia and Russia, but some experts predict it could gain first place by 2020. —D.J.D.

BANGALORE: Narendra Modi used his only campaign in Karnataka to renew his attack on Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi, thereby minimising references to a BJP government widely regarded as unpopular.
Modi, who is projecting himself as a PM aspirant, spoke about the troubled history of the Gujarat BJP and how it was returned to power more than a decade ago despite internal troubles. Modi quickly pivoted to assailing Gandhi, repeatedly calling him a son of privilege, born with a silver spoon.

Hezbollah vows to respond to recent Israeli airstrike
Newscast Media DAMASCUS—Hezbollah pledged Wednesday to respond to an Israeli
airstrike earlier this week that targeted a base on the Lebanon-Syria border in the
group's first official confirmation of the attack.
"This Israeli aggression will not stand without a response from the resistance,"
Hezbollah said in a statement, according to the Daily Star.
"The resistance will choose the right time and place as well as the appropriate
response method," the group warned.
The statement said there were no casualties in Monday night's air raid, adding that
the attack had inflicted "some" damage to a Hezbollah base near the Bekaa Valley
border town of Janta.
The statement denied reports that a Hezbollah-bound weapons shipments from Syria
had been the target.
"Reports by some media outlets that artillery or missile bases have been targeted or
that [Hezbollah] fighters [were killed] are baseless," the group said.
A report published Wednesday in the Israeli daily Haaretz said Israeli defense officials
are preparing for Hezbollah to target senior Israeli figures in retaliation for Monday's
attack. The report, citing Israeli sources, said Hezbollah was not expected to react
immediately and that Israeli military leaders were preparing accordingly.
Meanwhile, Lebanese President Michel Sleiman asked Foreign Minister Gebran Bassil to
file a complaint with the UN Security Council over Israel's latest attack.

Your daily dose of true beauty advice…
Paul tells us in 1 Timothy 6:6 that "godliness with contentment is great gain." What do we gain? We gain a sense of calmness, quietude, a certain independence from our circumstances that will guard our hearts from coveting anything more or anything else.
Contentment allows us to abandon our will and cheerfully embrace God's will. Contentment means that our emotions are not ruled by our environment. We gain peace of mind no matter what our circumstances (Philippians 4:11-13). Personal communion with God is the garden in which godliness with contentment grows because God is so worth having. As it sprouts, we learn more and more how to abandon our own will and embrace our Father's. And that is great gain.
Contentment opens up for us the experience of Hebrews 13:5: "Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, 'Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.'"
God's presence is enough. No more nail biting, no more chafing, no more restless nights. You see, our real need is not more things, but God himself.

News: India to supply 500 MW power ...
Political: Cabinet decisions ...
Sports: New Zealand beat Sri Lanka by 22 runs ...
dailynews ONLINE
Major General Udaya Perera
Insurgency has its causes and reasons but not terrorism. In the early
stages of the conflict there were many insurgent groups and all of them
except one chose democracy to serve its people. That one is the LTTE
which transformed itself from insurgency into terrorism.
According to David Rapport, an expert on terrorism, man has
experienced four waves of terrorism to date. The first being the start
of Terrorism in the early 19th Century by way of anarchist terrorism and
thereafter followed by the second and third waves of colonial and anti
colonial, new left wave and the fourth being religious and ethnic wave.
Sri Lanka is the only country in the world that defeated the last two
waves and bravely faced the second.
An IDP child at a welfare center. File Photo
No nation, no army can defeat terrorism without the support of its
population. Sri Lanka, I must say, was able to defeat LTTE because of
the unreserved support it received from all citizens living on Sri
Lankan soil, in particular, the Tamils. Without the support of all
communities living on Sri Lankan soil, this miraculous victory would
never have been a reality.
It is now time to reconcile and develop the nation. Every word we
utter, every action we take should help to develop the country and not
dent the progress in any manner. I must emphasize and admit the fact
that we need the unreserved support of the Diaspora to accelerate this
process. It is with this in mind, in our hour of need that we thought it
appropriate to enlighten you from the media and our beloved friends
whose roots begin from Sri Lanka to obtain your fullest support in the
reconstruction process of Sri Lanka devastated by a three decade war.
To begin with, there had been four peace initiatives since 1985;
first under President, JR Jayewardene with the mediation of the Indian
Government, second under President R. Premadasa, third under President
Chandrika Bandaranaike Kumaratunga with the facilitation of the
Norwegian Government and the fourth initiated by former Prime Minister
Ranil Wickremasinghe with the facilitation of the Norwegian Government
again, which, was re-commenced by the present President Mahinda
All four initiatives stopped abruptly due to the LTTE unilaterally
pulling out from the peace initiatives. It is a sad reminder that all
the chief architects or their closest relatives were either killed or
their lives were attempted by the LTTE.
The chief architect of the first peace talks Gamini Dissanayake from
the Sri Lankan side and the former Indian Prime Minister Sri Rajiv
Gandhi from the Indian side were both assassinated by suicide bombers.
The chief architect of the second peace talks President, Ranasinghe
Premadasa was also assassinated by the LTTE on May 1, the very
particular day dedicated to workers by the world community.
The chief architect of the third President Chandrika Bandaranaike
Kumaratunga's life was attempted and she escaped miraculously but lost
an eye.
Then the life of own brother of President Mahinda Rajapaksa; the
chief architect of the fourth peace talks was also attempted by the
This is not all, there had been 94 assassinations of political
leadership by the LTTE in Sri Lanka and out of them sadly, the majority
are Tamils. This include the assassination of Foreign Minister Lakshman
The life of Minister Douglas Devenada was attempted 13 times. They
also did not spare the clergy of all religions and innocent civilians of
all ethnic groups.
Although three attempts of peace talks failed to bring the LTTE to
the mainstream politics, all the other insurgent groups were brought
into the main stream politics through negotiations.
Another significant achievement in conflict resolution through
negotiations was the establishment of Provincial Councils through the
13th Amendment of the Constitution thereby devolving power to provinces.
Though this is a huge burden to the exchequer in a country so small
as Sri Lanka, it was introduced to share power and give due recognition
to all communities. While people of seven provinces enjoyed devolution
of power, people of the other two; the North and East to whose benefit
and request the power was devolved, were not allowed to reap the
benefits by the LTTE.
The 2002 peace talks were initiated with a ceasefire agreement signed
between the Prime Minister Sri Lanka and the leader of the LTTE on
February 22, 2002.
It was given a fresh start after a lapse of time by the present
President Mahinda Rajapaksa until he was forced to realize that fruitful
results will not be achieved through this process.
There were as many as 10,000 ceasefire violations by the LTTE until
it was officially terminated in January 2008 after realizing that
negotiations never worked with terrorists.
The Government and the Security Forces turned a blind eye to all
those violations for the sake of peace. However, on July 28, 2006, the
LTTE closed the sluice gate of Mavil Aru depriving water to 5,800
families with 25,486 members and 4,500 acres of paddy.
Sri Lankan villages are based on three main pillars; place of
worship; it can be a Temple, kovil, mosqe or a church; school and
irrigation tank. All three pillars are important and sacred to
A Hindu Kovil is built on the embankment, close to the sluice gate of
every tank. That is to say only the god has the discretion and liberty
to control water.
Therefore, depriving water so sacred to them was a very sensitive
issue not only to those who were deprived but to all Sri Lankans. Thus
the Government did what any other democratically elected Government
would have done.
The military was tasked to open the sluice gate and restore water
supply after all efforts through Norwegian facilitators to open the
gates failed. The humanitarian military operation was a success and the
water supply was restored by August 8, 2006.
Thereafter, the Government continued its humanitarian military effort
and cleared the entire Eastern Province by July 2007. Before commencing
the military operation, the Government laid down rules of engagement to
the Security Forces, the foremost being zero casualties of civilians.

Bloom women beat Edinboro, 76-73, advance to PSAC final
BLOOMSBURG - For the second time in as many seasons, the Bloomsburg University women's basketball team is back in the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference title game. This time around, defending champion Edinboro is out of the way.
The Huskies placed four players in double figures Friday night, and received a big game from senior point guard Alyssa Flanagan as they dispatched Edinboro 76-73 in one of two semifinal games played at the Nelson Field House.
In the opener, Gannon's Nettie Blake hit a 12-foot turnaround bank shot at the buzzer to give the Golden Knights a 63-62 win over Millersville.
Bloomsburg (23-5), the PSAC East regular-season champion, will now host West champ Gannon (28-3) this evening at 7 for the overall PSAC championship and an automatic berth in the upcoming NCAA Division II Tournament.
The Huskies were 1-3 against Edinboro in PSAC playoff action prior to last night's game, including a 74-58 loss in last year's championship game. But Bloom took a 37-32 halftime lead Friday and held on down the stretch to capture their season-high eighth consecutive win.
Catherine Noack scored 16 points, Flanagan added 12 and Lauren Ellis and Kayla Oxenrider tallied 10 apiece to lead Bloomsburg's balanced attack.
Kiara Brown scored a game-high 22 points for the Fighting Scots (22-6).
Reserve forward Danielle Derr gave the Huskies a 67-65 lead after converting a three-point play with 5:37 remaining. The Huskies would not score another field goal the rest of the way, but salted the game away at the free throw line, connecting on 7-of-8 in the final 2:32. For the game, the Huskies went 20-for-23 at the line.
Edinboro grabbed its final lead (70-69) at the 2:52 mark on Brown's three-pointer. But two Flanagan free throws 20 seconds later put Bloomsburg in front to stay at 71-70.
Noack tacked on two more freebies with 1:31 left, and Flanagan went 1-for-2 to make it a four-point game (74-70) with 1:05 remaining.
The Fighting Scots got back to within a point (74-73) on a Lindsay Laurel three-point play with 56 seconds to play, but a missed Bobbi Baker layup was rebounded by Flanagan with 16 seconds left, and Bloom teammate Dana Wieller hit two free throws five seconds later to push the lead back to three. Edinboro missed a three-pointer at the buzzer that would have forced overtime.
Flanagan, a Freeland native and Hazleton Area graduate, grabbed a team-best eight rebounds, including several key boards in the closing minutes. She also dished out a game-high six assists, and went 6-for-8 from the charity stripe.
Hazleton Area grad Brianna Dudeck, Bloom's junior guard and sparkplug off the bench, did not play. She went scoreless in 15 minutes of action in Tuesday's playoff win over Kutztown. Her status for tonight's title game is unknown.
The Huskies are looking for just their second-ever PSAC championship. They last won the conference title in 1992, when they beat Edinboro.
Tip-off this evening is set for 7 o'clock at the Nelson Field House on Bloom's Upper Campus.

Talk Abstracts
Erran Li (Alcatel-Lucent)
Current cellular network design does not scale well with the exponential growth of mobile data. To allow the network to scale cost-effectively, a radically new design of the cellular network infrastructure is necessary. In this talk, I will present CellSDN, a software-defined cellular network architecture. Compared with SDN in data centers, the challenges of CellSDN are asymmetric edge, fine-grained policies and unplanned mobility. I will discuss our solutions and present evaluation results. This is joint work with Xin Jin, Laurent Venbever, and Jennifer Rexford at Princeton University.
Downclocking Wi-Fi Communication (SloMO)
Alex C. Snoeren (University of California San Diego)
As manufacturers continue to improve the energy efficiency of battery-powered wireless devices, Wi-Fi has become one of—if not the—most significant power draws. Hence, modern devices fastidiously manage their radios, shifting into low-power listening or sleep states whenever possible. The fundamental limitation with this approach, however, is that the radio is incapable of transmitting or receiving unless it is fully powered. Unfortunately, applications found on today's wireless devices often require frequent access to the channel.
We observe, however, that many of these same applications have relatively low bandwidth requirements. Leveraging the inherent sparsity in Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) modulation, we propose a transceiver design based on compressive sensing that allows WiFi devices to operate their radios at lower clock rates when receiving and transmitting at low bit rates, thus consuming less power. We have implemented our 802.11b-based design in a software radio platform, and show that it seamlessly interacts with existing WiFi deployments. Our prototype remains fully functional when the clock rate is reduced by a factor of five, potentially reducing power consumption by over 30%. Our current efforts focus on OFDM, where we have obtained a 50% clock rate reduction so far.
Challenges and Approaches in Practical MIMO Systems
Lili Qiu (University of Texas Austin)
MIMO is a significant breakthrough in wireless communication and promises a dramatic capacity increase. In this talk, I will present challenges in realizing MIMO gain in practice and give an overview of our research in addressing some of these challenges.
Clean-Slate Designs for Secure Wireless Systems
Yih-Chun Hu (University of Illinois Urbana Champaign)
Previous work in wireless network security has focused on a single attack, or more broadly, a single layer. As a result, even when secure protocols are designed at several layers, they may not intermix well, because one protocol's security definition may not meet the requirements of another protocol that sits on top of it in the network stack. In this work, we start with a clean-slate design bottom-up design, assuming a powerful, insider, cross-layer adversary, and show that under a set of reasonable axioms, near-optimal performance is possible over a sufficiently long period of time.
Ambient Backscatter: A New Direction in Ubiquitous Communication
Shyamnath Gollakota (University of Washington)
I will present the design of a communication system that enables two devices to communicate using ambient RF as the only source of power. Our approach leverages existing TV and cellular transmissions to eliminate the need for wires and batteries, thus enabling ubiquitous communication where devices can communicate among themselves at unprecedented scales and in locations that were previously inaccessible. To achieve this, we introduce ambient backscatter, a new communication primitive where devices communicate by backscattering ambient RF signals. Our design avoids the expensive process of generating radio waves; backscatter communication is orders of magnitude more power-efficient than traditional radio communication. Further, since it leverages the ambient RF signals that are already around us, it does not require a dedicated power infrastructure, as in traditional backscatter communication. To show the feasibility of our design, we prototype the devices on hardware and achieve information rates of 1 kbps over distances of 2.5 feet and 1.5 feet, while operating outdoors and indoors respectively.
Advances in mm-wave Networking
Thyaga Nandagopal (National Science Foundation)
Millimeter wave networking (30 Ghz - 300 GHz) have the potential to reimagine wireless networks and last-hop network access, by unleashing a wide spectrum of bandwidth, hitherto untapped. Recent developments in electronics, antenna design, communication theory and spectrum policy have begun to converge with interest from industry in this space. In this presentation, an overview of recent advances in this space as it applies to networking researchers will be given along with future research directions for the next three to five years.
Perceptions and Truth: A Mechanism Design Approach to Crowd-Sourcing Reputation
Mingyan Liu (University of Michigan)
We consider a networked system where distributed entities/individuals possess information about themselves and others, and reputations emerge as a way of assessing the quality of these individuals. Each individual is interested in obtaining accurate assessment of others while possibly maintaining a high reputation for itself. We examine a number of mechanisms aimed at incentivizing useful input from individual to collectively achieve higher system-wide accuracy. Applications include online recommendation systems and trust management in an ad hoc network.
Mobile Phone Sensing and its Applications
Cecilia Mascolo (University of Cambridge, U.K.)
Mobile phone sensing has emerged as a field of research in recent years: aspects related to energy and precision have been widely investigated. I will briefly report on our current research in using mobile sensing efficiently to monitor user behaviour in the context of human psychology studies. Our research now also focuses on the integration of mobile sensing in the next generation online social networks with a wide range of applications in recommendation and user profiling. I will present our findings and the challenges that this research is posing.
Towards Mobile Sensing of Attention and Distraction
Marco Gruteser (Rutgers University)
It has long been recognized that ubiquitous information access brings enormous benefits but also challenges our ability to focus. With mobile devices this is a particular serious concern for drivers, pedestrians, and other traffic participants. In this talk, I will discuss our work towards accurate tracking of user attention - from determining whether a mobile user is driving to tracking what a user is looking at. These techniques can be expected to enable mobile systems that help us better navigate distractions.
Creating a Single System Image out of Distributed, Heterogeneous Resources for Mobile Computing
Lin Zhong (Rice University)
Today's users own multiple mobile devices of various form factors; today's mobile devices have access to many cores of various types, internal and external. This creates a challenge to both end users and app developers. End users have to manage applications and services for each device separately; developers have to write an application for each device and synchronize them across multiple devices. We argue if a single system image can be built out of multiple mobile devices and distributed, heterogeneous resources available to them, this challenge can be solved. In this talk, we outline our recent efforts toward this goal.
Building a Distributed Computing Infrastructure with Heterogeneous Devices
Srikanth Krishnamurthy (University of California Riverside)
Today, there has been an explosion in terms of the number of smartphones and tablets that are being sold and used. Many of these devices have computing power that is comparable to PCs, but are left idle for prolonged periods. In addition, the notion of cloudlets wherein ISP provided APs have computing and storage is gaining traction. One can envision building a distributed computing infrastructure(s) using all of these platforms. However, the fact that a significant fraction of these devices are mobile raises a number of challenges in terms of harnessing their power. Three examples of these challenges include battery consumption, bandwidth heterogeneity and security. In our preliminary work reported in our paper in CoNEXT 2012, we addressed some of these challenges for a computing infrastructure built using just smartphones. In this talk, I will give a brief overview of that work, and discuss where such a computing infrastructure may find application and the challenges in practical realization and deployment.
Automatic Construction of Indoor Floor-plans (CrowdInside)
Moustafa A. Youssef (Egypt-Japan University of Science & Technology)
The existence of a worldwide indoor floor plans database can lead to significant growth in location-based applications, especially for indoor environments. In this work, we present CrowdInside: a crowdsourcing-based system for the automatic construction of buildings floor plans. CrowdInside leverages the smart phones sensors that are ubiquitously available with humans who use a building to automatically and transparently construct accurate motion traces. These accurate traces are generated based on a novel technique for reducing the errors in the inertial motion traces by using the points of interest in the indoor environment, such as elevators and stairs, for error resetting. The collected traces are then processed to detect the overall floorplan shape as well as higher level semantics such as detecting rooms and corridors shapes along with a variety of points of interest in the environment.
Exploiting Angle-of-Arrival Information for Highly Accurate and Responsive Indoor Localization
Kyle Jamieson (University College London)
Location systems are key to a rich experience for mobile users. When they roam outdoors, mobiles can usually count on a clear GPS signal for an accurate location, but indoors, GPS usually fades, and so up until recently, mobiles have had to rely mainly on rather coarse-grained signal strength readings for location. I will talk about the design and experimental evaluation of ArrayTrack, an indoor location system that uses Angle-of-Arrival information at access points to track wireless clients in real time as they roam about a building. Our results show that ArrayTrack can pinpoint 33 clients spread out over an indoor office environment to within a median 25 cm location accuracy
Cisco's Fog Computing Vision and its Applications to Mobility Systems
Douglas Chan (Advanced Architecture and Research, Cisco Systems)
Fog Computing extends the Cloud Computing paradigm to the edge of the network, thus enabling a new breed of applications and services. Defining characteristics of the Fog are: a) Low latency and location awareness; b) Wide-spread geographical distribution; c) Mobility; d) Very large number of nodes, e) Predominant role of wireless access, f) Strong presence of streaming and real time applications, g) Heterogeneity. Cisco believes the above characteristics make the Fog the appropriate platform for a number of critical Internet of Things (IoT) and mobility services and applications, namely, Connected Vehicle, Smart Grid , Smart Cities, and wireless sensors.

Its Day Two at Old Trafford. Varun Aaron is about to start a new spell. From the top of his run-up he sees Virat Kohli, on the captains instructions, move from gully to leg-slip. The pacer doesnt like the change and objects. Dhoni overrules. Kohli moves to leg-slip and Varun is ready to bowl again.
Ravindra Jadeja is about to start a new spell. He is ready to bowl over the wicket. Dhoni asks him to go around the stumps. Almost robotically, Jadeja switches sides. No dialogue, no objection.
India skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni is doing all the thinking on field these days. Bowlers bowl to his plan and stick to the angles that are true to fields set for them. Most times in this series, all the big ideas (not always effective) have emerged from the behind the stumps.
Unlike in the past, Dhoni, in this England series, cant be blamed for switching off or letting things drift. That allegation can now be transferred to the bowlers in the side. From a distance, certainly not a vantage point to gauge the huddle talk, it seems the bowlers shouldnt be blamed. They are merely listening and, subsequently, following instructions. Thinking, or being imaginative, is the captains prerogative.
The first hint of Dhonis new assertive approach came after the Lords win last month. While experiencing the high of winning an away Test, the usually tight-lipped skipper let down his guard. At a media conference, he spoke (and really spoke in this case) about his crucial on-field interaction with a team-mate the days hero Ishant Sharma. It threw light on the how India ideates these days, specifically how the short ball came into play and how Ishant got four wickets by aiming at the rib cage of the England batsman.
Its difficult to convince him (Ishant). When he came to bowl I told him bowl short and he turned the other way. I set the field for him so that he doesnt even think of bowling up, said Dhoni, after Indias historic win last month. The strategy was to give Ishant a field so he is forced to bowl the length that I want him to bowl.
Buoyed by Lords success, Dhoni has continued to set fields for his bowlers and has forced them to stick to the line he wants. Since the plan hasnt worked, the on-field conversations havent again surfaced in press briefings. Its highly

TUALATIN, Ore. — The Trail Blazers appeared for exit interviews, listened to feedback from management and announced their summer plans for the offseason on this continent or another.
On Thursday afternoon, as scheduled flights promised to take players to their desired destinations as well as extricate them from the historically wretched conclusion to the season, general manager Neil Olshey also revealed his plans while envisioning an active summer on the horizon.
"We're going to be incredibly aggressive over the next two months in building the roster," Olshey said. "We're going to get deeper. This roster isn't talented enough. We're not talented enough. We don't have a deep enough talent base and that's what we need to rebuild."
With $11.6 million in cap room, four draft picks and other player-asset tools at his disposal, Olshey indicted that the team will focus on landing a starting center who can help defend the rim. So, the first step in this process began early as the team waived veteran forward/center Jared Jeffries.
Jeffries, 31, played one season in Portland and had not appeared in a game since March 10. If the Blazers had not renounced the rights to Jeffries, then soon the team would have been on the hook to owe him more than $1.5 million in a guaranteed contract for the 2013-2014 season. Instead, the Blazers opted to waive Jeffries to clear salary cap space.
"Like we told Jared, we'll look into it at the end of the summer. If we have a need (and) he doesn't have a job, it's something we can discuss," Olshey said about the prospects of re-signing Jeffries, a locker room favorite. "But right now, where this organization is going, we need every ounce of cap room we can get to create the best roster possible."
In creating this roster, even the sacrifice of a likeable guy like Jeffries must be necessary in order to make significant strides in building depth from the 6th to the 10th spots.
The Trail Blazers (33-49) started with an unknown rookie point guard and holes throughout the roster but still somehow sparked the season with a cache of wins over playoff-bound teams.
As Damian Lillard (19.0 points and 6.5 assists per game) emerged as the point guard that the franchise has desperately coveted, the team ascended to the Western Conference playoff picture.
Also, with early-season wins over the Lakers, Knicks, Rockets and Spurs, the Blazers peaked at five games over the .500 mark by mid January. However, the team fell out of contention in March, rested injured starters Wesley Matthews and Nicolas Batum near the end and descended to such low depths that Terry Stotts concluded the season by coaching five rookies on the floor as the team lost its 13th straight game.
Near the completion of the worst losing streak in 41 years, owner Paul Allen sat up from his front-row baseline seat on Wednesday night and exited the Rose Garden one last time with Olshey.
"'Just promise me we're going to be more competitive next year,'" Olshey said, recalling Allen's words.
Olshey's response: "We are."
"The guys who are playing last night are competing their tails off and they just didn't have enough to get it done night in and night out in this league over these last 15 games when we were shorthanded," Olshey told the assembled media at the Blazers' practice facility. "My commitment to Paul and to Terry is to make this the most competitive team possible in terms of talent and there's nobody I trust more than Terry. Once he gets the right pieces in place, we are going to see a huge jump in terms of wins and losses."
Besides waiving Jeffries, the Blazers could soon wave goodbye to at least three other players. The likely candidates — free agents J.J. Hickson, Luke Babbitt and Nolan Smith — all voiced ambiguous or downright skeptical views on their returns to Rip City.
On Thursday, Hickson responded to inquiries with: "why not come back?" However, the previous night Hickson told The Columbian that he was looking forward to "having the opportunity to get better and make someone else's team better."
Hickson, who carries a cap hold of $8 million, played as an undersized starting center on a team that ranked last in the league in defending the interior (47.4 points allowed in the paint).
Babbitt, the third-year forward, discussed a possible return to the Blazers but the team already carries three players with guaranteed contracts at his position (LaMarcus Aldridge, Victor Claver and Joel Freeland).
"It's always an open door. Obviously not the greatest chance in the world that I'll be back but it's not a closed door either," Babbitt said. "So I haven't even talked to my agent about it. I haven't really had any conversations about next year. The season just ended one day ago. I'm sure I'll know more in the next couple weeks."
Finally, Smith, the former 2011 first-round draft pick, ended his media session by hugging several reporters. Smith had chatted with Olshey and came to the conclusion that his brief time as a Blazer was over.
"(The Blazers) have a path that they want to go down. It's pretty obvious that I'm not on it right now," Smith said. "I'll have chances to go continue to show what I can do for a team and a situation that better suits my game."

I just can't see that CF is all that strong . How is a fiberous plastic going to be as strong or stronger than steel or aluminum..heh. I don't even think i would go with titanium as a frame material,it's far more expensive than steel & not even as strong!

Titanium is not stronger than steel, nor is it lighter than aluminum. The benefit of titanium is that per weight it is stronger than both aluminum and steel. Comparing the Elastic Modulus (For our purposes, Stifness) of the three materials All numbers in 10^6 PSI :Alumnium- 9.9 to 10.3 :Steel- 29.5 to 30 :Titanium- 15 to 16. This shows that titanium is roughly 50% stronger than aluminum, but only half as strong as steel.Originally Posted by bruiser2

Many commonly available steels - 4340, for instance - are often stronger than the commonly available titaniums - 6Al4V or 3Al2.5V. On a strength/weight ratio the 4340's are also very better than 6Al4V.Originally Posted by bruiser2

We all know that the strength of a structure is more defined by its shape and design rather than simply the material used to make it up. While CF has a good strength to weight ratio, it is an anisotropic material and this strength is biased along a certain axis. To achieve a multiaxis strength, CF plies are laid multidirectionally across several layers. However, the real "strength" behind CF is the ability for the designer and manufacturer to create intricate shapes which might be impossible or cost-prohibitive to do otherwise with a metal. It is this shape that provides strength, stiffness/flexibility and other real-world attributes to the structure. In the cycling world, too much emphasis seems to be put on the lightweight aspects of CF and not enough is said about its design versatility.

Kate Middleton and Prince William Visit Family in Princess Diana's Memory
This past Saturday marked the anniversary of that chilling day, 16 years ago, when Princess Diana was the victim of a fatal car crash that ripped her from her children. Since that tragic day, Prince William has been especially conscious of how he keeps his beloved late mother's memory alive. In recognition of the anniversary of Diana's heartbreaking death, William and Kate Middleton, along with their 6-week-old baby boy, Prince George, flew to visit Lady Sarah McCorquodale, Diana's eldest sister.
According to the Calgary Herald, Britain's Daily Express reports that the royal family of three "were seen boarding a helicopter at Belton Woods country club near Grantham, Lincs — just six miles from the farmhouse in Stoke Rochford where Lady Sarah, 58, lives with her husband Neil, a farmer and former Guards officer."
Lady Sarah and Princess Diana reportedly had a strong relationship, despite the fact that the sisters both dated Prince Charles (Sarah before Diana, obviously). Lady Sarah and younger sister Lady Jane Fellowes were the ones who flew to Paris with Prince Charles to bring Diana's body back after the fatal crash in 1997 that killed both her and her boyfriend, Dodi Fayed, as well as their chauffeur as they attempted to elude paparazzi. William was only 15 years old at the time.
Prince William is said to have spent his childhood with his brother Harry playing with Lady Sarah's children, their cousins. Keeping the family ties strong, the visit with Prince George was undoubtedly very emotional, but joyful, giving Lady Sarah the chance to meet her great nephew for the first time and reflect upon how her late sister lives on in the beautiful royal baby.

Click Workspace
Northampton, MA
Hi. I'm a lifelong entrepreneur. As a young child I used to sell chile, pine cones, and one-cup coffee brewers out of my Red Flyer wagon. In Elementary school I started a door-to-door bread baking business with my brother and we were booming until we forgot to add salt one day. Never underestimate the power of salt. In junior high school and I had quite a racket going selling contraband chewing gum and hard candy to other students until I got shut down by the principal.
I'm a journalist who has written for The New York Times Magazine, National Geographic, Wired, Popular Science, Popular Mechanics and several other national magazines. In 2006 I left media and founded One Day University, which we billed as the ultimate day of college. We brought together the best professors, from the best schools, to give their best lecture (everything from Shakespeare to the Science of Happiness and Nuclear Proliferation in Iran). The Learning Annex purchased One Day U in 2008.
Today I have a small business creating and producing live events and webinars for a wide range of clients including Hearst Communications, Russell Reynolds, Kenexa, and many others.
I've got a great wife and three young children, two boys who are eight and six, and a daughter who is four. Most of my free time is spent with them. I wish I could remember what I used to do with all my free time, because I know I had it before I had children. I love to grill meat outside, read books to my kids, and have an embarrassing addiction to The Amazing Race on CBS.
Click Workspace is a co-working site and business incubator in Western Massachusetts. Northampton, Massachusetts. Situated just 100 miles from Boston and 150 from New York this community is home to a thriving community technologists, game developers, web developers, graphic designers. Yet the area lacks a focal point for this community of entrepreneurs. In fact, most of these businesses operate out of extra rooms and basements.
Our goal is to create an environment where these entrepreneurs gather to work, share ideas, and create businesses. We want to make this area a center of entrepreneurship, creating a vibrant alternative to Boston and New York, but also providing access to innovation capital in those markets and other innovation hubs.
We do this by providing physical space, but also through a series of workshops, and networking events.
Our customers are the entrepreneurs in the region, and what we're most proud of is providing a place where they can work, socialize, and be inspired by each other.
The purpose of the loan is to help us with start-up costs associated with expanding to a larger space. Some of these costs include security deposits, technology improvements and furniture.
The loan will drive revenue by allowing us to expand from a 1500-sq. ft. facility into a much larger space. We are essentially at full capacity at the moment.
The loan will enable us to move.

I'm currently working on a prebuilt application running on weblogic.
The application consist in NAME_APPLICATION.jar that must be deployed on weblogic.
My problem is that I can't analyze anything for the simple reason that the jar DOES NOT CONTAIN ANY .JAVA OR .CLASS FILE
The jar just contain the following files:
- APPLICATION_1.0.sources
- APPLICATION_1.0.space
- APPLICATION.ws
- GET_SOMETHING.ds
- GET_SOMETHING.service
I really don't understand it. Where is the application ? How weblogic knows the logic (forgive me the pun) of the app? How to edit the application and where is the source files?
It's the first time that I see such Jar file, it's probably because I'm a weblogic beginner
I'm currently working on a prebuilt application running on weblogic.
These are resources that must be available on the classpath for the application to find them and access them. I am guessing that the documentation tells you to deploy it as a shared library.
If they are binary files (not text files that you could try reading with a text editor), then whatever application needs them obviously knows their format and how to read them.

TOURS, France – At this Tour de France, it is Marcel Kittel and no longer Mark Cavendish who looks like the fastest man on two wheels.
Everything was primed on Thursday for Cavendish to win a 25th Tour stage in his illustrious career. His beefy teammate from Belgium, Gert Steegmans, did his job to perfection, guiding Cavendish into position for the final sprint to the line in Tours in the Loire Valley. But Cavendish simply wasn't quick enough. Kittel overtook him just before the line.
"He was just simply faster," Cavendish conceded. "I can go back and look over and over again. I don't think (I) or the team could have done anything different. He was just simply better, you know?"
It would be foolish and premature to suggest the Cavendish era at the Tour is ending. He is by far the most successful stage winner still active.
Two of the riders with more stage wins – Bernard Hinault (28) and Eddy Merckx (34) – are long retired. The third, Andre Leducq (25), died in 1980. Cavendish came to this Tour with 23; the number is written in green on the black bike he rode Thursday.
He won his 24th last week in Marseille and still could get to 25 at this Tour and match Leducq's total. The last stage, especially, on the Champs-Elysees in Paris almost always offers a golden opportunity for sprinters. Cavendish is unbeaten on those cobblestones since 2009.
The 136-mile Stage 12 produced no change atop the overall standings. Chris Froome still has a lead of more than three minutes over his main rivals, who hope to make up time on climbs up Mont Ventoux on Sunday and in the Alps next week.

iYogi Scam Alerts: Beware of the Nigerian / 419 Scam
The Nigerian / 419 Fraud operates by taking a victim into confidence by presenting what appears to be an authentic opportunity to receive a large amount of money. This scam usually begins with an e-mail which appears to be written specifically for a single recipient, although it is actually sent out in bulk. The typical subject line of such e-mails can be "Your assistance is required", "the Microsoft lottery", "the MSN lottery" or something similar. The e-mail goes on to ask for personal information and documents such as bank account numbers, company letterheads and/or other confidential papers. Once you are hooked and revert with any documents, the game has started. The primary motive to ask for such documents is to convince you that the deal is on and is heading towards progress. Within a period of seven to ten days, perpetrators establish trust with the victim and eventually ask for more and more money giving vague but plausible reasons, like paying government fees or other issues. The more gullible the victim, the larger the sums of money that he or she will end up parting with.
What iYogi has to say:
"Nigerian / 419 scams have been duping people across the world out of their hard-earned money for over a decade and the scams continue to get more innovative with time," said Vishal Dhar, President, Marketing and co-founder of iYogi. "Before making any financial transactions based on e-mail communications from an unknown overseas company or individual, it is imperative that people and companies alike take basic precautions such as verifying bank accounts and checking the contact's background."
What are the different forms of Advance Fee Fraud:
- Transfer of Money from Over-Invoiced Contracts:About 90 percent of Nigerian / 419 Frauds involve over-invoiced contracts. This scam involves an offer to transfer a large amount of money into an overseas bank owned by a foreign company. All the documents shared by the party tend to come through over-invoiced contracts from a Nigerian company or one of the Nigerian Government Ministries. Once victims are convinced that it is a legitimate deal, they end up paying several transaction fees over months or even years, before realizing that they've been had.
- Contract Fraud (C.O.D. of Goods and Services) :This type of fraud mainly targets small businesses with little or no export experience. Here, the target is not an individual but a firm. The targeted company may receive an order from what appears to be a Nigerian company with a bank draft, asking for items to be shipped. The targeted firm may also be fooled into sending a sample with an introductory price to Nigeria. They ask for all the logical registration, import and other fees. Once the company is convinced about the transaction, they receive a letter describing that the Nigerian company has been awarded a lucrative contract from the Nigerian Government and urgently requiret a larger shipment. It is only after this shipment is sent that the small business realizes that the bank draft was fraudulent, the shipment is non-recoverable and that the Nigerian company does not exist.
- Sale of Crude Oil at Below Market Prices:Here, the victim is offered special crude oil allocations at lower than market rate. Just like any other scam, this one also demands registration or licensing fees to acquire crude oil below market price. Once the payment is made, the sellers disappear with the money.
- Purchase of Real Estate:As the name suggests, this fraud involves an offer to purchase real estate using the services of a well established real estate broker. Once a home is finalized, the broker or person acting as the owner of the house asks for a certain amount of money to close the deal. Once the money is given, both the broker and owner vanish.
- Threat Scam (Extortion): This is a relatively uncommon scam and involves sending a letter, fax or e-mail to a recipient explicitly threatening his or her life unless a specified sum of money is deposited in a certain bank. The perpetrators leave no evidence that such a fraud has been carried out and once deposited, the money cannot be traced.

Putting an end to a regulatory dispute, FMCG major Gillette India Ltd (GIL) today announced a fresh plan to meet Sebi's minimum public shareholding norms under which its US-based promoter Procter & Gamble and Poddar Group would sell part of their respective holdings.
While Procter & Gamble would sell 0.9 per cent stake, worth about Rs 66 crore at current market value, Poddar Group would also bring down their holding to below 5 per cent through part sale of equity, the company said in a statement.
"Subsequently, the process for termination of the shareholders agreement between the Poddar group and the P&G group shall be initiated, pursuant to which the Poddar Group will have no special rights in Gillette India other than that of a normal public shareholder," it added.
Further, S K Poddar and A Poddar will step down from the Gillette India board and on approval of the resolution passed by Gillette India shareholders in a general meeting or a postal ballot. The remaining shareholding of the Poddar Group shall be considered as public shareholding, the company said.
"SEBI has mentioned that they will not insist on P&G making an open offer as a result of the above mentioned events, in view of the intent behind the transaction, which is to comply with the minimum public shareholding requirements," it added.
SEBI has also imposed several restrictions and provided guidelines to the company to adhere to achieve the minimum public shareholding requirements.
"There shall be no acquisition of shares of Gillette India by Poddar Group for a period of one year from the date of declassification of Poddar group as public shareholder," SEBI said.
Commenting on the development, S K Poddar told reporters on the sidelines a press conference: "Once we complete the process, I will be declassified as promoter and left with little less than 5 per cent or 4.99 per cent in Gillette. I have done it in the interest of the company."
He added that the latest Sebi decision came after several rounds of discussion and it never a unilateral decision.
"We will call for an annual general meeting to inform the shareholders about the changes and all formalities should be over in two to two-and-half months time that is by September or October. There is discussion between me and P&G on a severance package," Poddar said.
Gillette India is jointly promoted by The Procter and Gamble Co and Poddar Group. Promoters hold 88.76 per cent
