The Montecristo War
James Suckling
From the Print Edition:
cigar case, Summer 93
Members of Spain's political elite might be in for a surprise the next time they ask for the humidor at one of their preferred Madrid restaurants such as the Paradis, just around the corner from the Spanish Parliament. Montecristo, one of politicians' favorite smokes and the largest selling Cuban cigar brand in Spain, may be removed from the market if relations between the Spanish tobacco monopoly and the Cuban cigar marketing organization deteriorate further.
As of mid-March, Spain's Tabacalera and Cuba's Cubatabaco were holding a series of confidential meetings to discuss the future of Montecristo and a slew of other brands, including H. Upmann, Por Larrañaga, Partagas, Ramon Allones and La Gloria Cubana. In September 1991 Tabacalera bought the world rights--excluding Cuba, the United States and the Dominican Republic--for $10 million from Cuban Cigar Brands, a partnership formed by American tobacco giant Consolidated Cigar and Spain's Internacional Cifuentes. Court cases in Spain and France have, in effect, supported Tabacalera's ownership of the brands, leaving its relationship with Cubatabaco tenuous at best.
It's become a battle for Montecristo. Both Cubatabaco and Tabacalera know that nothing else sells like the prestigious brand with its unique brown band and yellow, gold and red decorated box. The stakes are high. Montecristo is Cuba's largest selling export cigar, with annual sales of 30 to 35 million cigars, or about half of the total exports of Cuban cigars. European retail sales of Montecristo were over $200 million last year. In 1991, the Spanish smoked more than 20 million Montecristos, accounting for 70 percent of the Cuban cigar market in Spain. During the same year, Montecristo comprised about 50 percent of the French market, or nearly six million cigars. Meanwhile, the British puffed away on two million "Monties" during the same period, while the Swiss took another one million.
Many of the cigars in the Montecristo range are the benchmarks for their respective sizes and shapes. "Montecristo is considered a reference point for all Cuban cigars," says Bruno Vuaille, a director with the French tobacco monopoly SEITA. "For Frenchmen, it is the first Cuban cigar they ask for." For example, Montecristo No. 4, a petite corona that measures 5 inches long by 42 ring gauge or 42/64 of an inch thick, is the world's most popular Cuban cigar, with annual sales of about 20 million. Other textbook Montecristo vitolas, or shapes, include the No. 2, the thick pyramid-shaped 6 inch by 52 cigar; the No. 1, the 6 1/2 inch by 42 lonsdale; and the No. 5, a short 4 inch by 42 cigar. (See accompanying story for production information.)
Although it has won court cases in Switzerland and Portugal, Cubatabaco is incensed over losing control of Montecristo in its two key markets, especially with financial damages now being accessed in both; in France alone they could total well above $100 million. To make things worse, last year's French court of appeals decision also banned the sale of Montecristos in France, sending Frenchmen across the border to Belgium, Switzerland, Spain and Britain in search of their favorite cigar. The sales of Cuban cigars in France have been cut in half. Moreover, the decision prohibits the French monopoly from producing its 100 percent Havana leaf cigarillo, the Mini-Montecristo, which had annual sales of more than 15 million.
"We can replace the sales of Montecristo with other brands, but it won't happen overnight," notes Vuaille of SEITA, who is now promoting its Mini-Quai d'Orsay cigarillo to replace the Mini-Montecristo. "For another two or three years, we are going to miss a lot in the Cuban cigar business. We can only hope that there is a solution to this whole thing."
What that solution will be remains to be seen, and Cubatabaco now refuses to comment on the situation. However, sources close to the upper echelon of Cubatabaco say the negotiations have been in a stalemate. "It was always understood that Tabacalera would sell the brands to Cubatabaco after it took control of them," confides one source. "Cubatabaco was happy to pay the same price for the brands. However, after gaining the ownership of the brands, Tabacalera wanted to become the European distributor for them. The Cubans are very upset."
Alfonso Gota Losada, Secretary to the board of Tabacalera, explains that when the company's board of directors approved the trademark purchase, it did not specify any future sale. He says that one of the main reasons for buying the brand was to avoid getting into a jam like their French counterparts. If Tabacalera was not the brand owner today, Montecristo probably would have been removed from the market by now, unless Cuban Cigar Brands had agreed otherwise. Now with the brands firmly in hand and the court decisions in Spain and France assuring its ownership in those markets, Tabacalera believes that it can come to an agreement with the Cubans. "We have the trademarks, but we don't have the cigars," Gota clarifies. "They have the cigars but can't sell them because we have the trademarks. We're condemned to understand each other. Tabacalera does not want a confrontation with Cubatabaco. We want them to recognize that we're the owners of the trademark. We're aware that they have the labor, the raw materials and the [cigar making] tradition."
The Cubans are not going to be easily won over. "We are dealing with the problem at the moment," maintained Francisco Padron, Director of Cubatabaco, during an interview last November. "Some things are more complicated than they seem .... If we cannot solve our problem with Tabacalera, we are going to launch a new brand name as a substitute for Montecristo. We would then withdraw the brand [Montecristo] from Spain. No problem."
Cubatabaco had been considering two replacement brands for Montecristo, Behike and Cubatabaco, but its agents vetoed the names during meetings in February. "These were ridiculous names," said one agent. "How could they think that these names could replace Montecristo?"

Accurate indoor positioning for location-based services and the intelligence that they provide.
Accurate indoor positioning for location-based services and the intelligence that they provide.
Using the Ruckus SmartCell Gateway 200 (SCG) as its foundation, Deep Blue Communications, a national managed Wi-Fi Service provider, has transformed its business model from a traditional value-added reseller into a full-fledged managed service provider. The company has selected and is the first to deploy the Ruckus SCG to deliver private cloud managed wireless LAN services to a range of customers in different vertical markets.
Designed specifically for carrier-class deployments, Ruckus SCG obviates the need for on-site WLAN controllers. With the SCG, Deep Blue which specializes in the hospitality, retail and public venue markets, is better able to serve multiple clients from a single platform with full active/active redundancy for maximum uptime.
Ruckus Smart Wi-Fi access points are shipped to customers for installation requiring little to no effort, once installed the access points automatically connect to the managed SCG and are dynamically configured with the requisite settings for each site. "The combination of simplified managed and streamlined deployment with the best Wi-Fi access points on site is a powerful combination that today is unmatched within the industry" Brian Espian, President and CEO of Deep Blue said.
With the goal of being one of the country's most connected cities, the City of San Francisco wanted to build and deliver a world-class Wi-Fi service along the World Famous Market Street Corridor, one of the most heavily foot-trafficked thoroughfares in the world.
The Smart Wi-Fi service would be based on world-class, patented W-Fi technology with the ability to not only deliver free and pervasive high speed public access, it would also serve as a foundation as a reliable wireless utility for future services. So the City of San Francisco turned to Ruckus Wireless.
The public-private partnership between San Francisco's Department of Technology and Ruckus teamed technical staff from the City and Ruckus to design, build, deploy and launch such a Wi-Fi service using three-stream, dual-band 802.11n Ruckus ZoneFlex 7782-S access points mounted on traffic poles along Market Street, with all the access points being managed centrally through redundant SmartCell Gateway (SCG) wireless LAN controllers.
With a reliable, pervasive and high-speed Smart Wi-Fi service now in place, now millions of residents, visitors and businesses can connect to essential online products and services, and the City has in place a scalable and reliable wireless infrastructure that it can easily expand and leverage to offer a myriad of electronic services that spur economic growth and more efficient City services.
International bakery, Le Pain Quotidien, decided it was time to give its customers a 21st century retail experience, given the increase in mobile device traffic that it was seeing.
The Brussels-based bakery's legacy system was unstable, often requiring staff to reset the system as more users tried to connect. It also didn't provide dynamic assignment of wireless traffic to the appropriate VLAN and couldn't be centrally managed.
What they needed was an industrial strength, PCI compliant Wi-Fi system that was not only easy to manage from a single point but would also provide an exceptional wireless experience with consistent performance to multiple user groups, especially as environmental conditions changed.
By leveraging Ruckus' Smart Wi-Fi, they have been able to streamline retail operations, improve business processes and speed up customer service, while delivering safe, fast, reliable online access to its patrons.
A global logistics and warehousing company with operations in over 150 locations across 34 countries, Katoen Natie needed an industrial strength WI-Fi system that could support its vast and constantly changing warehouse operations where reliable wireless was not negotiable.
Used for scanning and tracking inventory, back office applications and other business-critical operation, the WI-Fi system needed to be adaptable to the challenging RF environment delivering the strongest signal strength to a number of low-powered handheld devices. Kateon also needed the WI-Fi system to be easily extended into areas where Ethernet cabling wasn't always available. Finally, the WLAN system needed to be easy to use and deploy with centralized management.
After evaluating numerous WLAN options, Katoen has standardized on the Ruckus ZoneFlex system, having deployed 1,500 Smart Wi-Fi access points accross its warehouses worldwide. The rest is history.
When you have a 19,000-seat arena that is home to one of the nation's leading basketball teams, and plays host to world-class entertainers, and even plays host to the largest gathering of democrats in the United States, you're going to want to make sure that your Wi-Fi works, and that it works well.
The Time Warner Cable Arena in Charlotte, North Carolina needed to update its existing Aruba infrastructure with a network of more dependable APs with extended coverage.
When Ruckus was presented with the opportunity to design a Wi-Fi infrastructure at the TWC arena, the greatest challenge came in addressing the enormous capacity requirements in the main seating areas of the arena.
The usual approach to supporting high-density environments is to deploy a large number of APs, but that can be counter productive. High-density deployments are all about interference management, and a key design criteria is to mount the APs — to the greatest extent possible — in an area where RF energy can only propagate in the intended direction. BeamFlex adaptive antenna technology has proven to be of great value when coupled with proper site selection.
The road ahead for the TWC arena includes looking at compelling applications that can be enabled over broadband infrastructure — including options to advertise special services to fans, information on where to buy various food items/merchandise, or even buy tickets to future events — all things which can be handled wirelessly with a smartphone or tablet device.
Recently purchased by BSkyB for their vast Wi-Fi infrastructure, the Cloud is retrofitting thousands of indoor and outdoor hotspot locations with ZoneFlex™ dual-band 802.11n access points throughout the UK in myriad retail locations such as Caffé Nero, PizzaExpress, Pret A Manger and many others, for high-speed public Wi-Fi access. One of Europe's largest Wi-Fi operators, The Cloud offers Wi-Fi coverage across 12 European countries, in over 8,500 locations with 22,000 access points deployed in venues such as airports, hotels, and railway stations.
The Cloud is using smarter Wi-Fi that exploits patented adaptive array technology to offer more reliable and faster public access, managed wireless LAN and mobile data offload services. Throughout the City of London's Square Mile, The Cloud is replacing hundreds of BelAir outdoor access points with the the industry's most popular dual-band 802.11n outdoor access points, the Ruckus ZoneFlex 7762.

Love The Look: Ewan's Down With Love
Ewan McGregor, Brandish fave and actor extraordinaire, has made it as this week's 'Love The Look' style icon. While not actually a look he created himself, McGregor's get-ups in the film 'Down With Love' were unbelievable. Mod suits, a Rat Pack-slick haircut, patent shoes and exotic skins; the look was one of excitement and interesting times. As the love story blossomed, each event was painted with the brilliant sartorial brush of McGregor's dapper-dandy. Who cares if the actual film was rubbish?

"Loved the cards...they are gorgeous and unique! However, the paper appears creamier on screen then it does in reality and I don't love that the envelopes are pure white, because my invitation suite was ecru. Nevertheless, I love the cards themselves and am happy overall with my purchase."
"I purchased this card for my bridal/personal shower thank yous and they were perfect! They were beautiful and the paper quality was great. Thank you, Wedding Paper Divas!"
"This is a simple design, classy, and fits in with our wedding theme. The quality was perfect when the cards arrived and delivery was even sooner than expected."
"My fiance and I LOVE these cards. We're outdoorsy people, and this really reflected our style. Plus the font matches our Antique Chic invites that we ordered from WPD. The printing is very clear, yet the card still have a soft romantic kind of feel."
"The dress is beautiful and has an airy feel to it. The paper is a nice weight and doesn't seem cheap or flimsy. The writting on the front is very clear and easy to read. Overall, I am extremely happy with the card. Now i just have to write them all."

From the time I was in law school, I've been frustrated about the lack of interaction between our criminal law and our mental health law, which allows for the mentally ill to avoid the treatment that will enable them to live within the societal norms we've established. Those who are on the borderline of functioning well must commit an "overt act" that proves they are a danger to themselves or others before we can force them to receive mental health treatment. Then they go to a state hospital, get "regulated" on their meds, get discharged and refuse treatment once they are free. Oftentimes, they don't commit an overt act until they commit a horrendous crime, such as the killing of innocent lives.
The biggest challenge, other than finding a way to legally require treatment of those who need it but refuse it, is to create a bridge between criminal law, which is designed to hold folks accountable and punish them for violation of criminal laws, and mental health law, which is designed to protect the mentally ill person and those who are potential victims of that person.
The criminal law provides many methods for enforcement after violations are proved beyond a reasonable doubt; a high standard indeed. Mental health law is designed to provide the mentally ill person the greatest freedom possible under the U.S. Constitution and case law, including the right to refuse the very treatment that would make them safe to live in our communities. As long as this gap exists between criminal law and mental health law, we will continue to have major problems.
Thank you for your consideration of these thoughts.

Ridley Fenix 2014 already available with Shimano Ultegra 11speed
For Shimano fans looking for a little extra
In the first months of this year the Ridley Fenix has proven itself in classics like the Tour of Flanders where Jürgen Roelandts (Lotto-Belisol) rode it to a third place. The frameset also got excellent reviews from magazines and websites. More than enough reasons to make the Fenix the first bike in our range and one of the first bikes in the world to come with the brand new Shimano Ultegra 11 speed. The bike is now available at Ridley dealers in Europe.
Ever since Shimano announced the 11speed groupset, a lot of Shimano fans have been on the lookout for bikes with the new Ultegra 11speed. Ridley is probably the first brand in the world to offer the groupset on a bike in their 2014 range. The mat black design of the 2014 Fenix with Ultegra 11speed is an adaptation of the shiny white design used by Lotto-Belisol during the spring classics.
Characteristic of the Fenix is its oversized sharp edge tubing which guarantees a high level of stiffness and is extremely strong and durable. The flat sections in the seat stays absorb road vibrations to give the rider a high amount of comfort and increased stability on rough roads. Ridley combines the Ultegra 11speed groupset with an exclusive Rotor 3DF crank that combines high stiffness with a low weight (about 185 grams lighter than the original Ultegra crank).

this is a really cool piece of equiptment for my bike. kind of expensive but worth every penny. no more stalling out. EVER. no more feathering the clutch. I never have to touch the clutch lever while riding if I don't want to. you can idle in gear with your hands off the bars and it will move if you apply the throttle if not it will idle. BUT even if you leave it in gear the machine acts like it is in neutral, so don't park on a hill and make sure your machine is strapped down good. also you lose the ability to bump start it, but hey ive got electric start so who cares! awesome awesome awesomeRead All Reviews

Douglas in NC
Real happy with this set-up on my 2011 YZ450. Makes the trail riding so much better with this bike. I had to increase the idle and used the stiff engagment springs. Have not noticed any fade yet on two hour ride. I liked the ease of installation. The CORE might be a good idea if you are moto crossing or an elite level rider because you get back the two clutch plates you remove. I am an A level woods rider and it seems to work just fine for me. I do change my oil every 4 hours since these bike use the engine oil in the transmission.Read All Reviews

On September 25th prepare yourself to relive all the mystery, mystique and drama as Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment unleashes American Horror Story: The Complete First Season to Blu-ray for the first time. Created by Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk (Nip/Tuck, Glee), FX's Golden Globe-winning supernatural thriller centers on a troubled family that moves into a house plagued by forces human - and otherwise.
When Ben and Vivien Harmon (Dylan McDermott, In the Line of Fire, and Connie Britton, Friday Night Lights) uproot themselves and their daughter (Taissa Farmiga, Higher Ground) from Boston to Los Angeles, they do so in the hopes that the move will help heal some deep psychological scars. What they don't count on is their new home, a gothic mansion with a beyond-twisted history that slowly - and frighteningly - pervades its way into the Harmons' lives.
As the mayhem escalates, the family tries to uncover the root of the house's evils, and how a mysterious burn victim (Denis O'Hare, Milk), a teenage loner (Evan Peters, Kick-Ass), and their abrasive next-door neighbor (Jessica Lange, Big Fish) fit into the puzzle.
The series also features an impressive supporting and guest cast roster that includes Frances Conroy (Stone), Kate Mara (Shooter), Zachary Quinto (Star Trek), Morris Chestnut (Under Siege 2: Dark Territory), Sarah Paulson (Martha Marcy May Marlene), Mena Suvari (American Beauty), Eric Stonestreet (Modern Family), W. Earl Brown (Deadwood), and Charles S. Dutton (Alien³).
Fox's three-disc Blu-ray set presents Season Three in its 1.78:1 broadcast aspect ratio with 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio tracks.
The set also contains the following supplements:
- Commentary on the pilot episode by Ryan Murphy
- The Murder House presented by Eternal Darkness Tours of Hollywood
- Behind-the-scenes featurettes:
- * Behind the Fright: The Making of American Horror Story
- * On the Set of American Horror Story Season One
- * Overture to Horror: Creating the Title Sequence
- * Out of the Shadows: Meet the House Ghosts

State House Bureau
(Continued from page 1)
Likewise, the Maine bill is likely to be opposed and potentially vetoed by Gov. Paul LePage. LePage has not taken a position on the bill, but his Republican counterparts in the House were unanimous in voting against it Wednesday.
Rep. Kenneth Fredette, R-Newport, the House minority leader, said the Maine bill would "hurt the people it was designed to help." Republicans also want to help the poor, he said, but are focused on growing the economy. If successful, he said, wages would increase for everyone.
Fredette said the indexing element of the bill is also troubling because it would put wage increases on "autopilot."
"That's not governing," he said.
Rep. Gay Grant, D-Gardiner, disagreed. She said she expects a veto by LePage, but says lawmakers should support the modest increase in the bill.
Democrats say raising the wage makes moral and economic sense.
Grant said it was important to "stand with working people" who are working more than one job and struggling to keep up with the rising cost of living.
Rep. Paul Gilbert, D-Jay, agreed, saying the bill wouldn't solve the poverty problem but would "give these workers some help."
Democrats and labor unions are the chief proponents for raising the minimum wage, arguing that it would help working-class Americans and stimulate the economy.
The liberal Economic Policy Institute recently projected that increasing the minimum wage to $9.50 an hour would result in $60 billion of new household spending in two years.
However, some economists have argued that raising the minimum wage during an economic recession will stunt business growth.
David Neumark, an economics professor at the University of California-Irvine, wrote in a 2009 column in The Wall Street Journal that increasing minimum wages actually reduces employment for young, low-skilled earners.
Those workers are "struggling to find a toehold in the labor market," and raising the minimum wage makes it harder for employers to hire them, Neumark wrote.
Clough, of the National Federation of Independent Business, also criticized the vote.
"This proposal is completely divorced from economic reality," he said. "How can small businesses absorb a substantial increase in their labor costs? They can't reduce their taxes. They can't reduce the cost of health care. They can't reduce their fixed expenses."
Raising the minimum wage appears to have support in national opinion polls. A USA TODAY/Pew Research Center poll conducted in early March found that 71 percent of Americans support Obama's plan to raise the minimum wage.
The Maine Department of Labor could not provide state-level data for the 20,000 people who earned minimum wage in 2011. However, federal data shows that minimum wage earners were concentrated in low-skill occupations that typically receive tips. Most earners were young, worked part time and had limited educational attainment.
According to federal statistics on minimum wage earners:
The Maine minimum wage bill faces additional votes in the House and Senate, and if passed, then goes to the governor.

okay i edited your post because its p much never a good idea to post your email on a forum where anyone, and I do mean anyone, can see it.
The forums login system is case sensitive so if you even put a capital where it should be a lowercase letter or vice versa it won't let you in.
Seems to have fixed, don't know if Rio did it, but it seems to have worked..
psy, no I don't make mistakes like that when it comes to typing email.. for password I just paste it so it won't have that problem.
Edit: by the by, I can just log in cause I have my laptop now, and it doesn't work sometimes, and sometimes it does.
Guess Rio didn't fix it after all.

Char Valley edges USC in WPIAL girls' playoffs
Jordan Serio tries to get past Kristina Coyne during WPIAL Quad-A playoff action. Serio fired in a game-high 20 points but that was not enough as Chartiers Valley scored a 55-52 victory over Upper St. Clair. The Lady Colts advance to play Mt. Lebanon in the semifinals set for Feb. 26.
By definition, playoff means one thing among combatants. One team wins. One team loses. Regardless of the effort, the winner advances and the loser sadly may end its season.
Such was the case when Chartiers Valley edged Upper St. Clair, 55-52, in a WPIAL Quad-A quarterfinal contest played at Canon-McMillan.
"They battled," said USC floor boss Ernie Koontz.
After the loss he told his girls how much he cared about them. "I told them I loved them. They did a tremendous job. They've come a long way since we started back in December."
While USC (12-11) must wait and see how the WPIAL finals play out to see if their season continues, the Lady Colts made sure they qualified for the PIAA tournament by winning. Five teams qualify from the WPIAL for the state playoffs at the Quad-A level.
CV clinched his spot in the semifinals, in part to a strong showing in the second half, particularly in the third quarter. That was when the Colts opened up one of its biggest leads, 45-33. CV and USC were tied, 11-11, after the first frame and 24-24 at intermission.
"There was no big half-time speech," explained CV head coach Spencer Stefko. "It was just players making plays. It was a bunch of seniors not wanting to play their last game and a bunch of younger kids making sure that that didn't happen."
Sophomore Alexa Golden scored all 12 of her points in the second half. Senior Kassidy O'Keefe fired in eight of her 11 points in the third stanza while junior Jenna Devinney supplied a big 3-pointer in the third period that made the score 45-33 and a pair of free throws with 10.3 seconds to play that afforded CV a 54-49 lead.
Senior Mariah Wells led the Colts with 16 points, 14 of which occurred in the first half.
In addition to providing solid defense, Kristina Coyne pitched in with eight markers. Her free throw with .8 to play sewed up the victory.
Jordan Serio led all scorers. The USC point guard pumped in 20 points. Her 3-point play with under 50 seconds to play and her 3-point field goal with three seconds remaining pulled the Panthers within two points on each occasion.
Elayna Kaylor followed Serio with 18 points. She buried three shots from beyond the arc. Madison Serio accounted for two more treys by the Panthers, who finished with seven, 3-pointers. Back from a shoulder injury, Constance Raftis finished with six points.
CV, which improved to 18-6, will play top-seeded Mt. Lebanon (22-2) in the semifinals set for Tuesday, Feb. 26 at a site and time to be determined. It will be the third meeting between the two clubs. Lebo won both confrontations, 48-45, and 49-40.
Lebo defeated Fox Chapel, 45-42, in its quarterfinal match. Alex Ventrone (14), Christine Ehland (13) and Margie McCaffrey (11) all finished in double digits for the Blue Devils.
"We've been so focused on USC," said Stefko. "So we want to enjoy this one. But obviously, they have beaten us twice and we've got to figure out how to beat them. They are a well-coached team that plays defense very well."
So does Bethel Park and the Lady Hawks used that asset to beat Penn-Trafford, 43-34, and advance to the other Quad-A semifinal, a match-up against Gateway, which toppled the No. 3 seed, North Allegheny, 50-43, in its quarterfinal fray.
Megan Marecic fired in 22 points while Samantha Simpson followed with 10 tallies for the Lady Hawks, who are 21-3 overall.

HUSD board gives nod to McLaughlin
Appointed interim superintendent with 3-2 vote
HESPERIA • The Hesperia Unified School District Board of Trustees appointed David McLaughlin as the new interim superintendent at a special board meeting Tuesday night.
The vote was 3-2, with board member Cody Gregg, Ella "Lee" Rogers and Hardy Black voting in his favor.
"David has been with the district for 25 years," said Rogers, the board president. "He is well attuned with all the inner working of the district and he has the financial aspects down pat."
Rogers spoke highly of McLaughlin's personality, saying he is a "calming person" who is also "respected a great deal."
McLaughlin, who according to Rogers was born and raised in the High Desert, has served the district as the assistant superintendent of business services. He will temporarily fill the vacancy left by former superintendent Mark McKinney.
The need for a new superintendent came after the board voted 3-2 to remove McKinney without cause in December.
McKinney, who was moved to the role of vice principal at Hesperia High School, has a multi-year contract and will continue to collect the pay and benefits of his previous duties.

Lackland Air Force Base instructor Staff Sgt. Kwinton Estacio was acquitted of sexually assaulting a basic training graduate, but was sentenced to 12 months in prison after pleading guilty to lesser charges earlier in the week.
A Joint Base San Antonio spokesperson said along with the 1-year sentence, Staff Sgt. Kwinton Estacio would be reduced to the lowest enlisted rank, E-1, and receive a bad conduct discharge.
Estacio plead guilty to the lesser charge of wrongful sexual contact after a military judge ruled Tuesday there isn't enough evidence to support a sexual assault charge.
Military prosecutors have investigated more than a dozen instructors at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio and charged six.

i want to know what is the best pseudo-random number generation algorithm for passwords? for example my scenario is I have to generate 5K pseudo-random bits from a user-supplied password(6 character).what are possible options and which one do you recommend?
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Cryptography Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for software developers, mathematicians and others interested in cryptography. It's 100% free, no registration required.
Scrypt is the best function for key-stretching we have. With such a bad password, you'll need all the stretching you can get, so make sure to use a large work parameter and a fast implementation.
But you should really consider using a stronger password. 10 random characters are much better than only 6.

We love anything that makes our lives easier, which is why we bow down to philosophy®purity made simple™. The award-winning, one-step daily facial cleanser removes makeup, cleanses, tones and lightly hydrates the skin. Really, what more could you ask for?
Love this facial cleanser! It is light, smells amazing, and doesn't dry out my face too much. I got a sample with a purchase and immediately bought the full size once the sample was gone.
I have sensitive skin, plus I use prescription acne cream. It keeps my skin clear (which is great), but it also dries me out. I wanted to try this cleanser since it's supposed to be good for those with sensitive skin and not too drying. Well it didn't work for me! I ended up with dry, red skin, especially around my eyes. It was painful to put lotion on my face! I recommend buying a small amount of this cleanser if you have sensitivity issues, because it seems to affect people with sensitive skin differently.
I have only used this cleanser a few days, but it has accomplished removing all of my makeup and made my skin feel so clean. I normally have to use two separate products...one to remove makeup and one to deep cleanse, and this one does both. Two thumbs up!
I've never gotten as clean without using a wash cloth as I do with this stuff. I love the simplicity of this stuff. The smell is nice and not over powering!! Works wonders!!
I have really sensitive skin, and this is the only face wash I have found that does not cause my skin to break out, dry out, or become an oil slick. It's perfect.
Simple and easy to use. Smells nice. Always leaves my face feeling clean fresh. Never harsh on my sensitive skin.
I tried "purity" in college at the age of 20 and it really did nothing for my breakout-prone, combo oily skin. Fast-forward 10 years, and I decide to give the product another try, mainly because of the positive reviews!
And I am definitely on board! I use this product twice a day, once in the morning, then at night in the shower with my Clairsonic (DEFINITE RECOMMENDATION! I feel I could almost use any facial cleanser with this brush and my skin would still be amazing!)
Here is the breakdown of my current skin:
Combination normal/dry
Few breakouts, usually in the hormonal zone
Issues before "purity"-dull, lack of vibrance, areas of flaky dryness. All issues were completely solved with this product (again in combo with the clairsonic)
I have tried many many cleansers, systems, multi-step programs, including: Proactive (way too harsh), clinique 3 step (also too harsh, and really did nothing for my skin), the Clairsonic cleanser (love this, but hard to find, similar to purity)
After washing with purity, I feel like I have completed 3 steps in one. I no longer have to spend 10 minutes removing my makeup first, then wash, and then tone. It is all-in-one for my busy lifestyle!
(I do follow up with a Caudalie serum and elixir that I love!)
Really liked this face wash. Fantastic smell, removed make-up just OK- sometimes I'm lazy and don't use makeup remover first so I like a cleanser that is more foamy and removes all make up. This wasn't that for me, but I still really liked it.
From my own personal experience I have been through many cleansers from Neutrogena to Korean branded cleansers and I have not found one that works as well as this does. I do not wear make up therefore I can't review on the power of its make up removal but as far as cleaning my skin this is my all time favorite. The main reason why I cling to this cleanser is because the way my skin feels afterwards. Many cleansers on the market do the job of cleansing, don't get me wrong, but to leave the skin hydrated is a bonus you get with this product. The secret is the meadowfoam seed oil so your skin is comfortable and not dry or tight. The smell is pleasant and is not overly perfumed so day and night this cleanser is my go-to for my first step in skincare.
This is definitely the best facial wash. Does not dry out skin and gets off even waterproof mascara with no problem

If you really love her, give her the full fist! Pornstars get fingered and fucked all the time by big dicks and gangbang participants. If you get the chance to have sex with a pornstar, you want to make a great first impression, and the best way to do that is by fisting her all the way up to your wrist! When a sexy girl can wrap her pussy or asshole around your forearm like a flesh bracelet, she knows you really care about her complete sexual satisfaction. Wearing her fuckholes like an opera glove and wiggling all five fingers to make her mouth move like she was a XXX hand puppet gives you both a sense of sexual connection that is impossible to match any other way.
PornTube.com has hundreds of fisting films in an exclusive free porn tube collection that includes full length HD videos in amazing close up clarity so you can see every fold of vaginal flesh stretch as she takes a deep fisting and works a huge orgasm out of her vagina. Even the biggest pussy feels extra tight when you working your up some elbow speed, so be sure to use a lot of extra lube or spit because as soon as she cums, she will be hoping you have the energy to fist her all over again with your other hand!

Hockey Transfer Eligible at UND in January 2013GRAND FORKS, N.D. (AP) — The University of North Dakota has added another MacMillan to its lineup.
By: Associated Press,
GRAND FORKS, N.D. (AP) — The University of North Dakota has added another MacMillan to its lineup.
UND head coach Dave Hakstol says forward Mitch McMillan has transferred from St. Cloud State and will begin practicing with the team. McMillan won't be eligible to compete until January 2013.
McMillan joins his younger brother, Mark, currently a freshman forward at UND.
Mitch MacMillan had five assists in 14 games this season with St. Cloud State. He had four goals and two assists in 28 games last year.
The older MacMillan will have two years of NCAA eligibility remaining when he resumes competition.
The brothers last played together in 2009-10 with Alberni Valley of the British Columbia Hockey League, when they were the team's top two scorers and combined for 173 points.

Imagine walking 50 miles across a hostile prairie just to make sure the mail goes through. That was among the regular duties for infantry soldiers at Fort Larned in the 1860's. The fort was among those constructed to protect commerce on the Santa Fe Trail. The trail was one of the most important trade routes in the United States, but hostilities with American Indians in the region made for dangerous travel in southwestern Kansas. Soldiers provided armed escort for mail stages and wagon trains. They participated in several small scale conflicts with tribes in the area, and when the Indian wars were ended, the fort served as a point of distribution for goods and supplies promised in the peace treaties.
The current fort has nine original buildings, which is what makes it really special. Most of the forts of that time were disassembled, but Fort Larned still has nearly all of its buildings. It was made a National Historic Site in 1964 and is run by the National Park Service.
The buildings are all nicely renovated and set up as they would have been during the time it was an active fort. There is little signage or interpretation in the buildings. So, you feel very much like you are walking through a 1860s Army installation. The supply room, the officers' quarters and hospital are all frozen in time as if they are just waiting for soldiers to return.
Our family enjoyed the live interpreters dressed in period clothing, who took time to explain the different rolls of the buildings, and what life would have been like at the fort. The "soldier" who greeted my sons in the enlisted barracks explained he was going to have to walk all the way to Fort Dodge to make sure the mail got delivered. He let them put on the heavy coat he was going to have to wear - even though it was a very hot day. The "blacksmith" patiently showed us how he made links on a chain or other supplies needed at the fort. One of the "officer's wives" invited us to play on an 1860s piano in her living room.
This was a fun family stop. It is very nicely done, and a lot of it is hands-on. You could spend an hour, or half a day depending on your level of interest. The fort also still basically sits in the middle of the prairie, giving a good picture of the kind of vast open spaces the Army was charged with protecting.
Fort Larned has special events larger numbers of reenactors on Memorial Day and Labor Day weekend in the summer. They also host October candlelight tours and a December Christmas celebration. For more information about visiting the fort go to www.nps.gov/fols.

Virginia Commonwealth makes some forward progress in the pigskin department.
For years, football has been little more than a punch line at Virginia Commonwealth University. The bookstore sells T-shirts boasting: "VCU Rams Football. Still Undefeated." When the topic came up under the former president, Eugene Trani, he dismissed the prospect of fielding a team out-of-hand. "He always said, 'Not on my watch,'" recalls Norwood T. Teague, the university's athletic director.
But the mood appears to be changing. After years of pressure from students and alumni, and the hiring of new president Michael Rao last year, there's renewed interest in exploring the possibility, Teague says.
"It's definitely possible," he says. "I'm sure in the near future we will probably undergo a study to look at it more in depth."

For a while now I have been thinking about reviewing short films on moviescramble. They are the ideal medium for aspiring film makers. It can be used as a show-reel for new talents and display new techniques and technologies. Within a limited time the short film has to be able to convey as much information as possible, be comprehensible and most of all entertaining. The first short film to be reviewed here is the 2012 animation short, The Chase.
In its thirteen-minute run time, The Chase tells the tale of a contract hit that goes wrong . The hit man is in place when he receives a call cancelling the job. The intended victim, a scary looking dude, is on to him and the hit man must make good his escape. A daring roof top jaunt ends badly with the hit man face to face with the scary dude. The dude has a briefcase in his hand. This has aroused the interest of two passing hoodlums who see a chance of some easy pickings. Violence ensues. Continue reading "The Chase" »

Spartans running back Braxton Williams exploded for touchdowns of 65 and 48 yards and quarterback Dillon Draper added two rushing scores and one passing touchdown to key the rout.
"We had some explosive plays and some huge plays," Spring Creek coach Joel Jund said. "We had a good thing going."
The Spartans led wire-to-wire, scoring on a Draper run 2:26 into the game and never losing the lead from there. Spartans defensive end Chris Reyes recovered a fumble in the end zone from Sparks quarterback Mastor Sells to put Spring Creek up 16-0 before the game had gone four minutes.
Sparks put together a long possession on the following drive, and Sells plunged in for a one-yard rushing touchdown at the 2:35 mark of the first quarter. The Railroaders converted the extra point attempt to make the game 16-7, but that would be as close as Sparks would come on the evening.
Williams' 65-yard score and a 17-yard Payden Shafer receiving touchdown added to the Spring Creek lead, and the Spartans went into halftime up by a score of 30-7.
The second half was more of the same for the Spartans offense, as Braxton Williams rattled off a 48-yard run for another six points on the second play from scrimmage in the second half.
Dillon Draper earned his second rushing touchdown of the night ten minutes later following a blocked punt, putting the Spartans up 43-7.
Sparks threatened the Spring Creek red zone again, but fumbled once more. Thomas Covert added a 40-yard rushing touchdown to bring the score to 49-7 with eight minutes left in the game.
The Railroaders got the final score of the night with a touchdown with a minute left, but the following onside attempt went out of bounds, helping Spring Creek seal the 49-14 victory.
Jund said his team focused on avoiding turnovers during practice over the last week, and the Spartans responded by protecting the ball and creating several key turnovers themselves.
"Any time you can win the turnover battle, that's a big thing," Jund said.

Up For Bid
Originally published: 08.01.08 by Ruth King
Tips for re-thinking your pricing policy.
Should I raise my prices? The real question should be: What's going on in my company? To find the answer, look to your financial statements.
When you go through your financial statements and see that your company is earning less profit than it did in previous years, is not profitable, or a combination of both, the "Should I raise my prices?" question often pops into your head. The answer to that question: "It depends."
If your company was profitable last year and is showing decreasing profitability because of increasing gasoline prices, then raising your labor prices might not be the answer. Many contractors are now adding a fuel surcharge to each invoice and each job. Is that raising prices? Essentially, yes. However, it is raising prices in an area where people expect you to raise them— vehicle costs; not labor costs. With the fuel surcharge, most contractors have stated that they will decrease or eliminate the surcharge if gasoline prices decrease.
I've also seen contractors change manufacturers to decrease equipment pricing. With lower equipment pricing, they keep the sales price the same and their profits increase.
If your company was not profitable last year, then the question, "What's going on?" really applies. Raising prices might not be the answer. Increasing productivity, increasing sales closing rates, increasing marketing expenditures (in the right categories) might be the answer.
Increasing productivity requires that you first examine how productive your labor force is currently. Is each technician billing at least $600 per day ($150,000 per year)? If your technician's time sheet says he worked eight hours, did he bill eight hours to customers? Did he bill four? If he billed four or is not generating at least $600 per day on average, then you probably have a productivity problem. Proper dispatching, routing, and tickler files can help increase productivity. In the past I've written about tickler files— a copy of the invoices where a technician recommended repairs or maintenance that the customer chose not to have done at the time. These are a ready list of work when you don't have 40 hours of work for your technicians with incoming calls. Educating the customer about maintenance agreements, IAQ products, and other products that can help the customer will increase service-ticket revenues.
Were your installation crews on the job for eight hours? Did you get them out of the shop in less than 15 minutes? Did they stop at the donut store on the way to the job, have breakfast, and charge the job for it? Did they have one hour left on a job and quit rather than finishing it with one hour of overtime? Better they finish that day. It will take more time than one hour to finish the next day. These are quick ways to immediately increase productivity.
If your sales closing rate is less than 30%, it's time to take a sales class. HVACR Business columnist Tom Piscitelli has some good ones and has a proven track record in increasing sales and closing rates.
Continuous marketing is critical for lead generation — both service and installation. Even in the tough times you should continue marketing to your existing customers. Remind them why they need your services — to save money, decrease utility costs, etc.
If your field labor productivity is higher than 80%, your sales closing ratio is higher than 40% and you execute a continuous marketing plan, yet your financial statements are still showing lower profitability, then the answer to the question, "Should I raise my prices?" is probably yes. The next question: "How much?"
Some contractors I know raise their rates at the rate of inflation, at a minimum, each year. Their employees want raises. Their suppliers increase their pricing. They pass these increases along to the customer and justify those increases by continuing to provide high quality service/installation and communications.
From an installation standpoint, the "How much?" answer depends on the increases in your direct costs and overhead costs. For replacement pricing, when you use a net-profit-per-hour calculation, the pricing increases are easily calculated. Assuming that you want your net profit per hour to be consistent, add the overhead cost per hour, the total direct cost per hour, and the profit per hour you desire to arrive at the selling price per hour. The total price is the selling price per hour times the total number of hours for each job. This assumes that you accurately determine the number of hours for each job.
