How to write a dumb law
The easiest way to write a dumb law is to pass a bill uninformed by certifiable data.
Following the Dec. 14 massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., newly sworn in to Congress, issued his first media release of the new year in the course of which he vowed to fight "to strengthen Connecticut's economy" and "grow jobs in science, technology, manufacturing and defense."

A free hors d'ouevre of fried squid, not fried spider as it would appear, is served. I was reluctant to try it, but it was pleasantly tasty and crunchy and tasted nothing like a spider. Ha Ha Ha. The margaritas and pina coladas were very tasty. The entrees were delicious, from the seafood burrito to the shrimp fajitas. We were told by a local to ask for mango salsa, and when we did a waiter ran out of the building. To our surprise, he graciously brought the salsa from a competing restaurant.
This restaurant is full of suprises even to the end where they bring complimentary kahlua and creams for dessert.

Ernie's is easy to recognize by all the tomatoes painted on the building and the big smiling tomato pointing the way to the entrance. Once inside, the first things you will notice are the tomatoes, many of them flying. There are tomatoes on the ceiling, on the walls, on the bar, and on the tables; there is even a boulder-sized tomato with windows and a door (I never investigated what was inside.)
I was immediately seated by a window facing the street, given chips, salsa and a menu. The menu is extensive offering many appetizers, four kinds of soup, and five distinct salads to start. Pastas, seafood, BBQ, Mexican food, pizza, grilled steaks and combination plates are offered as entrees. My drink was served by an extremely perky waiter who pointed out the house specialties on the menu and told me how things were prepared. I chose the fried green tomato appetizer for 27 pesos (US$2.70) and the cilantro fish filet for 78 pesos (US$7.80). Entrees range from 42 pesos for the spaghetti Tomato to 145 pesos for shrimp dishes.
My fried green tomatoes were served, looking pretty on lettuce and sprinkled with parmesan. After a bite, I decided to take a picture of them. Two waiters came running over screaming at a third and tried to take my camera away. The other waiter came over with a giant tomato and slammed it on my head! It turns out it was a tomato hat and they wanted to take my picture for me. Being camera shy, I declined. They shuffled off shaking their heads; I'm sure thinking anyone who would take a picture of tomatoes would want a picture of one on their head. The tomatoes were OK but not as tasty as they looked.
My fish filet came to the table also looking pretty; I waited for the staff to be busy somewhere else before I took a picture! The fish was covered in a creamy cilantro sauce and was served with rice and vegetables. Everything was good; nothing was great. I shyly took a few pictures of the restaurant and asked for my bill.
Although the food was not special, I enjoyed my lunch. I was alone, the view of the street and the tomato décor kept me entertained. The service was attentive and friendly (tomato-hat episode aside) and the air-conditioning worked well. The place is cheerful and worth a visit.
Ernie Tomato's is open daily from noon to midnight and accepts Visa, MasterCard, and American Express. It is on the east side of Av. Loaiza, near Hotel Los Sábalos and across the street from Anthonys Restaurant.

Check the CHANGELOG for details about what's changed.
The main change in this version is that I've replaced DropbearSSH with OpenSSH. This should solve the many problems people were having with SSH connections timing out. If you have an existing DropbearSSH installation, this version will detect that and let you uninstall and reinstall with OpenSSH.
Another big change is that I now just use lockdownd patching for activation on all firmware versions (1.0, 1.0.1, 1.0.2, and 1.1.1). This makes your phone factory activated and you can freely swap SIM cards without having to reactivate. It also makes it so that activating does not re-jail your phone (a big request).
Other than that, ringtone customization still doesn't work yet. I've read all of the documentation about how to hack install ringtones, but it seems like a complicated process at this point. Hopefully someone will figure out an easier way.

When Will Cold Reach New York to Philly, DC?Residents of the Northeast will get their first taste of winter on Wednesday
Wednesday, Oct. 23, 2013
(AP Photo/Nam Y. Huh)
Residents of the Northeast will get the first taste of winter later this week as cold air pushes east of the Appalachians.
Noticeably cooler air will settle in across the I-95 corridor, from Boston to Philadelphia, by Wednesday and remain in place into the weekend.
Car owners will want to allow for some extra time in the morning to de-ice their car due to the potential for frost.
Folks still hanging onto outdoor flowers and vegetable plants may want to take preventative measures due to the frost potential.
This will be the coldest air of the season so far, with daytime highs limited to the mid-50s and overnight temperatures dipping into the 30s, possibly even touching the upper 20s in normally cooler spots.
In addition to the already unseasonably low temperatures, a light breeze during the afternoon will make temperatures feel even cooler.
Wallets to Take a Hit as Winter Fuel Bills Rise This Season
Snow to Expand Across the Great Lakes, Appalachians
AccuWeather.com Forecast Temperature Maps
These lower temperatures will also settle in just in time for the first two games of the World Series which are to be held in Boston Wednesday night and Thursday night.
This push of cold air will also allow some snow to make an appearance in western parts of Pennsylvania and New York.
Although a few spots in the central Appalachians will get their first snowflakes of the season, no snow is expected to reach the I-95 corridor.

McWilliams has a bright future
Seeing that Mc Williams of Mississippi State ran a 2:02 half last weekend, on top of her good 1500 times, it seems that the US has a great wealth of talent in the pipeline for the women's middle and longer distances. It should be quite a race in the 1500 at the NCAA's, and the 800 as well. With all the great recruiting talent at Stanford, it is good to see other individuals coming through without a corporate hoard to contend with every day. Some good talent probably sinks from the constant pressure.
Re: McWilliams has a bright future
no one cares about mid-distance races and long races or McWilliams who ever that is
Re: McWilliams has a bright future
If you read the interview of McWilliams on fastwomen you'll see that she is still a novice and will hopefully be getting MUCH better in the next few years . . . she runs very, very low mileage.
Re: McWilliams has a bright future
High mileage is not always the Key for everyone. I'm not surprised.

The key to our future relates directly to our ability to use science, technology, engineering, and math the four STEM subjects, to solve problems. Solving problems will create the jobs of tomorrow.
We are putting together a collection of favorite STEM-related resources from Thinkfinity. What are your favorite Thinkfinity resources when teaching science, technology, engineering, and math?
One of my favorite resources is Power Up! I like it because it reaches out to kids at a young age (grades 3-5) and gets them thinking about the future of their world. It comes complete with the full Science Netlinks Lesson plus a student e-sheet, student worksheet, teacher worksheet and all the supplementals needed (readings, extensions, activities etc)
The second thing I like about the Power Up lesson is that you can follow it up or extend with the Power Up interactive/lesson designed for 6-8 grades. The interactive is fun and engaging and asks students to put to use what they've learned.
The one I like the best and got the most action when I presented at the Smithsonian Institute was "Invention at Play." There are many interactives at this site but I like the "Tinker Ball Exploration." Here is the URL: http://www.inventionatplay.org/playhouse_tinker.html
Exploratory play is about asking questions: "What happens when I do this?" "What if I did it this way?"
Experimenting with materials and pushing their limits encourages us to consider a wide range of possibilities when problem solving. Playing around with objects and ideas helps us see that there maybe more then one solution.
I teach at a very affluent middle school in Scottsdale, Arizona, and the biggest problem I find with these students is that they want to be spoon fed and can't solve a problem. I have taught for 40 years, 31 of them in the elementary grades in Chicago, and when it comes to problem solving my students from the south side of Chicago were great! They had to problem solve most of the their lives, and knew how to do it.
This looks like a great site. I will be trying it out in the Media Center.
My favorite STEM related Verizon Thinkfinity resources come from the ScienceNetLinks site. The Science Updates provide a great assortment of STEM podcasts for all grade levels. The ScienceNetLinks websites are diverse and offer interdisciplinary sites for the seamless integration of science and math. Not all students learn in the same way so I also value the diversity of the sites to allow our teachers to find the right site for use with multiple levels of differentiated student abilities.
When you visit the SNL Tool Index, look for one of my MOST favorite SNL Interactives which is "All Systems are GO!!" Have you visited this SNL Interactive?? Listen for the familiar voice of a famous state governor!! These interactive science tools are great for challenging students....be sure to visit "Gravity Launch" and "Zap" while you are exploring the Tool Index.
I am big fan of the podcasts, too! I love the fact that we can be supporting literacy initiatives through STEM content - as the transcripts of the podcasts are provided so that vocab can be previewed, and work can be done to support extension with the materials provided by AAAS.
Another favorite of mine is from ArtsEdge - I used to teach Earth Science to 8th graders, and the meterology unit was always interesting to them, but I wanted them to think more deeply about all of the implications of our day to day weather - The Artsedge Look Listen Learn - Stormy Weather is a powerful intro tool - it can have kids really visualize weather - and the impact through the arts.
Planet Size Comparison: http://www.sciencenetlinks.com/interactives/messenger/psc/PlanetSize.html
"A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words," and what a cool way to show the difference between the size of the planets! This is an excellent resource for our visual learners, who make up about 70% of our learners.
This tool, created by Science NetLinks, features an animation in which students can find out how Mercury "sizes up" to Earth or any other planet. At the top of the screen, students can choose what planets they want to compare. At the bottom of the screen, students can see the dimensions for each planet as well as how they compare in size. While this page links to the overview for the tool for grades 6-8, you can access reviews for additional grades and benchmarks using the navigation tools at the top of the overview.
Kingston, thanks for sharing this link in your response. My 2.5 year old was on my lap when I clicked on it and we enjoyed comparing the planets together.
One of my favorite resources that supports STEM is from Science NetLinks and is called, Make a Mission, http://www.sciencenetlinks.com/messenger/mission.htm. I love it because it is based on NASA's space mission to explore Mercury using the spacecraft MESSENGER. The students have 6 goals to accomplish so they need to load the spacecraft with instruments that will accomplish all of goals. There are many choices and some instruments accomplish more goals however they cost more money. The students have to accomplish all their goals before they run out of money. There are 3 levels so students can challenge themselves.
It's terrific to see Science NetLinks resources being listed!
I have to agree with "slancaster"...Gravity Launch is still one of my favorite interactives and if you need a little help getting to level 5, the answers can be found in the lesson.
A newer favorite resource is our podcast with with Jean Craighead George (author of Julie of the Wolves, The Wolves are Back, or My Side of the Mountain...just a few.) I was lucky enough to meet her for this podcast and she's truly amazing. Check out the full lesson, Jean Craighead George: Unsentimental Naturalist.
Science NetLinks, Project Director
Gravity Launch was so popular with my high school students that they stayed after school to get to level 5. The competition was fierce! I guess that shows no matter the age, we all like a challenge. Another favorite interactive I like to use in my trainings with teachers is the Lunar Cycle http://www.sciencenetlinks.com/interactives/moon/moon_challenge/moon_challenge.html. It helps teachers experience a great science resource while challenging them to get the moon phases completed correctly. Again it is amazing to see their intense focus and determination.
I am currently teaching a summer robotics & technology camp. We are using the LEGO Mindstorms education kits to build and program robots. I don't know who is having the most fun, me or my students! There are many opportunities for inquiry and problem solving while having a lot of fun.
Are you aware that ScienceNetLinks provides trainers and teachers the cross-curricular materials for STEM? Check it out! Benchmarks 2 and 9 for ScienceNetLinks covers math and science in one lesson all the way through K-12. When selecting a Lesson, Tool, note the benchmark marked 2 or 9 you are getting a double whammy!
Check out eFGI (Dream up the Future) http://teachers.egfi-k12.org/ This site has lesson plans and activities for all grade levels that are matched to standards and are "doable" in a regular classroom without spending next year's budget. Prepare to amazed that so many great resources are available in one site.
I like the cross curricular applications of many of the lessons. Plus they are visually appealing.
I like all the interactive geoboard activities.
The variety of lesson plans that are available. It makes choosing that much more enjoyable.
I love the Illuminations Fractions. It will be a great tool for teaching not only fractions, but decimals, percent and even Mixed Numbers. I can't wait to use this in my classroom next week.
I love the read.write.think site! Lots of good ideas to use in my instruction. The science netlinks is a neat site too. I like the videos that went with some of the lessons I looked at.
I enjoyed equivalent fraction. This makes finding equivalent fraction very visual. The kids can actually see how the fractions are equivalent while creating their own fractions. Fractions is such a hard concept to understand for most elementary students.
I like the read, write, and think resource. Structured well and I can adapt it to pre k to get the students ready for kindergarten.
I highly recommend reading a blog post in the group Thinkfinity in Virginia. The owner of that group, Jean Weller, has put together a wonderful list of resources related to STEM lessons that come mostly from Thinkfinity.
STEM Careers: Explore the Cool Stuff!
I'm a big fan of Rolling Robots in Southern California. They have a STEM resource guide for students of their robotics workshops.
Check them out here: http://rollingrobots.com/STEM-education-projects
I'm getting ready to present Thinkfinity at the NSTA STEM Forum and Expo next month in Atlantic City- this post (and the responses) are a big help as I look for STEM resources for elementary school teachers.
Have you heard about Expedition Earth and Beyond?
This is a NASA project that uses astronaut photography to help students study the geologic features of the Earth.
You can find this whole program with a teacher and a student guide on the web type in Expedition Earth and Beyond. It seamlessly integrates mathematics and science with several launch pad activies as well!

A maiden Lancashire hundred for overseas star Shivnarine Chanderpaul helped his new team-mates recover from a worrying start at the Rose Bowl
The 35 year-old prolific West Indian dug the Red Rose out of a hole at 41-3 in the morning session of this LV= County Championship match against Hampshire after Glen Chapple had won the toss and elected to bat.
Chanderpaul was given vital support from Steven Croft and Luke Sutton, with whom he shared partnerships of 78 and 77 for the fourth and sixth wickets respectively.
But he was not able to see Lancashire through to close because he edged captain Dominic Cork behind to wicketkeeper Michael Bates for 118 in the 91st over of the day.
Lancs closed on 262-8 after 96 overs, and Sajid Mahmood and Simon Kerrigan will resume tomorrow morning.
"From where we were to where we are, we've done well," said Chanderpaul. "It's always great to score runs. The last couple of times I've come down here, I haven't scored any.
"I got the 92 runs against Durham last week, so I had to work a little bit harder to get those extra eight. There was pressure because the pitch was doing a bit and they were bowling well."
Cork, left arm spinner Danny Briggs and David Balcombe all took two wickets apiece for the Division One strugglers, with Briggs' impressive display no doubt giving heart to Lancashire's spin duo of Gary Keedy and Kerrigan.
Briggs bowled Croft for 41 off 86 balls and had Gareth Cross, playing in place of Stephen Moore, caught behind by Bates during the afternoon session.
Things were not looking good for Lancashire when Tom Smith, opening the batting in place of dislocated shoulder victim Moore, Paul Horton and Mark Chilton all edged behind to the keeper orr slips inside the first 21 overs of the match.
Smith edged left arm seamer James Tomlinson behind to wicketkeeper Michael Bates to leave the score at 4-1 in the eighth. Horton hit two fours and a six in 21 off 49 balls before he edged Balcombe to Neil Mckenzie at second slip, the South African taking the catch one handed high above his head, to reduce Lancs to 35-2 in the 18th. Chilton was then also caught behind off the bowling of Sean Ervine in the 21st with 41 runs on the board.
Chanderpaul and Croft took their side up to and beyond three figures with their alliance either side of lunch, Croft hitting six boundaries in his innings before he fell to England under 19s spinner Briggs to leave the score at 119-4 after 47. Cross fell trying to cut shortly afterwards.
Sutton then joined Chanderpaul – the pair also shared a century stand at Durham last week – to further aid the recovery, recording the first batting bonus point in the process.
Sutton was the sixth wicket to go when he slashed Balcombe to James Vince at first slip with 204 on the board in the 78th. And Chanderpaul reached his ton off 180 balls with a clipped four off his hip off the bowling of Balcombe.
Chapple had been bowled off a Cork no ball, but it did not cost the hosts because the Red Rose skipper, having recovered from a back injury suffered at Chelmsford on Tuesday, edged the next ball to Vince at first to give Hampshire their seventh wicket. And Cork had Chanderpaul, who hit 16 boundaries, caught behind to leave the score at 249-8 in the 91st over.
Mahmood clipped Tomlinson for six over wide long on to bring up the 250 – and get off the mark.
Chanderpaul added: "If we can get up to 300, we give ourselves a good chance. The pitch is a little slow."

Absolutely LOVE the food at this restaurant. However a couple of 'small' things irked me about the one in Brandon (Providence Rd). They do in one way honor veterans with a few photographs on the 'exit wall' of some of our "Favorite Sons/Daughters" of the area but I rather embarrassingly found out later on that my wife was quite unsuccessful in getting them to put up a picture of Yours Truly in uniform on said wall. I also understand that they even have a "vet's day" but my fellow vets now tell me it is wayyy too crowded that day for all the vets around here Most vets like me would just prefer a simple "veteran's discount" rather than be "tied down" to a single crowded day and time. I have to mention that I have a problem with the A/C in the place because if you are not seated in the right areas you stay warmer than the food! Still I love the food and service and prices so much that I pray this place NEVER goes out of business!
ewww.. – Thought I'd write just because this is the worst restaurant I've ever been to in Tampa, and possibly anywhere. The chocolate cake wasn't even good (!)
great buffet – I was introduced to this place by my freind, Spin. He would rave about the sweet tea, mac and cheese, BANANA pudding, etc. So, one day he took me there for lunch and it was good. The food is so filling, so I was only able to make one trip to the buffet. Spin, on the other hand, made a THOUSAND trips and had several refills of sweet tea. This was always our special lunch place. Now that Spin is on a diet, I will have to drag my buddy Dave there one day. I know he will love the food. WHO HOO!!!!!!!

Winds are expected to remain elevated and gusty at times across the Permian Basin until the front approaches around 12Z. A strong low level jet will bring low level wind shear to MAF, HOB and INK terminals overnight. Though some low cloudiness is expected behind the front, low ceilings are presently expected to remain east of MAF. Winds will veer to east and northeast across the region Thursday afternoon and evening. By 06Z, low clouds may push into the region from the east, affecting MAF and FST by 06Z.

A cold front will blow into the area late tonight/early Thursday with a gusty north wind. PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 239 PM CDT Wed Apr 16 2014/ DISCUSSION... A lee surface trough is intensifying ahead of a broad and weak upper level trough late this afternoon. The upper level trough will track across the plains tonight and Thursday and drive a dry cold front south through the forecast area Thursday morning. High temperatures will cool a few degrees behind this front Thursday to slightly below normal values most areas. Deep southwesterly flow aloft will quickly develop by Friday and continue Saturday ahead of and along a southern stream upper level storm system. This trough and associated significant lead shortwave will be close enough by Friday night for mention of a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms across southeast New Mexico and extreme west Texas west of the Pecos River. By Saturday the upper level trough/low is expected to be across Arizona and New Mexico. Large scale lift will increase significantly by early in the day as heights fall in conjunction with an approaching upper level speed max. Scattered showers and thunderstorms are expected to develop across western sections Saturday morning and slowly advance eastward Saturday afternoon and evening toward the Permian Basin and lower Trans Pecos region as the upper system approaches. Continued the mention of a chance of showers and thunderstorms most areas Saturday and Saturday evening. At this time do not think there will be significant severe weather outbreak due to less than impressive instability with a retreating surface high still in the picture with a broad upper trough. (no well defined dryline). Moist southeasterly low level flow will keep temperatures a little below normal as well. The upper level system will weaken and pass by to the north Sunday and allow a surface trough to move east toward the eastern Permian Basin Sunday afternoon and evening. Kept the slight chance of thunderstorm going across the extreme eastern Basin along and east of the surface trough with temperatures warming to above normal values. Next Monday and Tuesday look dry and warm behind this system with an upper level ridge over the forecast area. This ridge is forecast to move east later Tuesday and could set up the Permian Basin for the possibility of dryline thunderstorms next Wednesday with southwesterly flow aloft in place. FIRE WEATHER... Southwest 20 foot winds of 20 to 30 mph sustained will prevail in the Guadalupe Mountains this afternoon and evening. Since RHs around 5 percent will persist there, the Red Flag Warning will remain in effect. Indications are 20 foot winds will continue well into the night over the Guadalupe Mountains, so will extend the RFW until 17/09Z. Warmer temperatures are prevailing along and west of the Pecos River this afternoon, with temps a few degrees cooler over the Permian Basin. A tight surface pressure gradient is encompassing the Permian Basin, hence 20 foot wind speeds are 15 to 20 mph sustained in many locations there, but only 10 to 15 mph over the Upper Trans Pecos and locations further west and southwest. The gusty southerly winds over the Permian Basin are beginning to bring in a little low level moisture, which is keeping RH/s near 15 percent or higher, with RHs of 5 to 10 percent further west. A few locations in the central and northern Permian Basin could reach critical levels, but the duration is not expected to be long enough for a Red Flag Warning. 20 foot winds will stay gusty through the evening over the Permian Basin, but cooling temperatures and increasing moisture will allow RHs to rise through the evening and night. Recovery will be poor along and west of a Maljamar to Big Bend line, with good or better further east. A cold front will move south into the area Thursday. Minimum afternoon RHs will generally stay above 15 percent over all but Brewster and Presidio counties. Although 20 foot wind speeds may rise to around 20 mph sustained late Thursday afternoon and early evening in these areas, the duration does not appear to be long enough for critical fire weather conditions. Fire weather concerns will not be as great Friday and through the weekend as low level moisture will spread over the region, and there will be a chance of a wetting rain, especially Friday night through Saturday night. && .MAF WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...

Leading Mobile Intelligence Provider Brings SaaS Flexibility and Economy to Mobile Network Operators Worldwide with iQ xPlore SmartStart, a Quick-to-Deploy, Proven Device-Centric Big Data Analytics Solution
SUNNYVALE, Calif., Feb. 20, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Carrier iQ, a pioneer in mobile intelligence, today announced the worldwide availability of iQ xPlore SmartStart™. iQ xPlore SmartStart provides mobile network operators (MNOs) with a no-hassle path to understanding the customers' experience using device-sourced big data analytics. Powered by Carrier iQ's Mobile Service Intelligence Platform, iQ xPlore SmartStart helps operators better understand Wi-Fi usage, reduce roaming costs, optimize application portfolio, and deliver better network coverage and performance.
(Logo - http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20140220/NY69027LOGO )
MNOs typically have access to data from inside their networks, as well as some user-generated information, but they have little insight on what is happening on the device itself. Only device-sourced metrics can give them a true view of the performance of a device to help resolve device support issues and improve their subscribers' experience.
Existing solutions in the market use network probes or drive testing. These methods provide incomplete information about the true customer experience. As subscribers have come to expect flawless network coverage and good performance indoors, outdoors, and at any time of the day, iQ xPlore SmartStart helps MNOs deliver a better experience, by providing insights from the point of experience – the mobile device itself.
iQ xPlore SmartStart helps MNOs:
iQ xPlore SmartStart is offered as a SaaS product. The simple, subscription-based pricing model enables MNOs to rapidly deploy the solution and to quickly derive meaningful insights.
"Over the past few years, operators worldwide have consistently shared with us their interest for outside-in big data analytics," said Ben Bergeret, VP Products, Carrier iQ. "For many of them, however, the cost of a full-fledged solution is perceived as an issue. This is why we created iQ xPlore SmartStart. It delivers mobile intelligence value at an affordable cost to most," added Bergeret. "With iQ xPlore SmartStart, MNOs worldwide can reap the benefits of device-sourced analytics quickly, and without the financial exposure."
Schedule a demonstration of iQ xPlore SmartStart at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain from February 24-27, 2014 at the Carrier iQ stand in Hall 1 Booth C36.

Wilmer Cabrera Named Head Coach of U.S. Under-17 Men's National Team
CHICAGO (October 25, 2007) — U.S. Soccer President Sunil Gulati has named Wilmer Cabrera, a two-time World Cup veteran from Colombia, as head coach of the U.S. Under-17 Men's National Team. Cabrera, 40, will oversee U.S. Soccer's U-17 Residency Program from Bradenton, Fla., where 40 of the country's elite players reside year-round and train in a professional environment to help them develop and become talented players that climb the ladder in the men's national program.
Gulati also announced that U.S. Under-20 Men's National Team head coach Thomas Rongen's contract has been extended through the 2009 FIFA Under-20 World Cup cycle.
"Wilmer is going to be a great addition to all of our player development initiatives," said Gulati. "He has played at the highest level of the sport and will bring a unique perspective to our programs. He has been very involved in our youth national teams across the past year, and has done the work at the grassroots since relocating to the United States that make him an ideal candidate."
Cabrera, who earned his USSF A Coaching License in 2005, has been a member of the U.S. Under-18 Men's National Team staff since January of 2007, serving as an assistant coach under Bob Jenkins. He has been a part of a number of camps, including trips to Mexico, Portugal and Japan earlier this year.
"I know the system, and I know our youth programs very well," said Cabrera. "And this is a beautiful challenge for me and a great responsibility. I am very much looking forward to contributing to the developmental environment that is growing in the United States for youth players."
The former Colombian international is a veteran of two FIFA World Cups, being named to the roster in 1990 and playing in three matches in France in 1998. The defender earned a total of 48 caps during nine years with the national team, missing out on the 1994 World Cup in the USA because of an injury. He also represented Colombia at two FIFA U-20 World Cups (1985 in the Soviet Union and 1987 in Chile), starting all three games for the team in the 1987 tournament after being selected to the 1985 roster at age 17.
Cabrera has coached at the U-17/18 level at the prestigious B/W Gottschee in Ridgewood, N.Y., one of 62 clubs chosen as an inaugural member of the U.S. Soccer Development Academy, since 2005.
Cabrera began his professional career at Santa Fe de Bogatá in Colombia in 1985 at age 17. He went on to play professionally for 18 years in Colombia, Argentina and Costa Rica, highlighted by eight years with Colombia's América de Cali. He was also a founding member of Chico Futbol Club in the mid-1990s, serving as the team's first coach and helping guide them to promotion to the first division after just two years.
In 2003, Cabrera moved to the United States and played for two years with the United Soccer League's Long Island Rough Riders. He also worked in an administrative role at Major League Soccer, contributing to the growth of the sport through his position as Manager of Fan Development. In that role, he served as the spokesperson for MLS Futbolito and Verano MLS, two programs aimed at grassroots development of soccer in the United States.
In his international career, Cabrera played against the United States in four official games, appearing as a sub on April 22, 1990, and July 31, 1992, both 1-0 victories for Colombia. He also started and played the full 90 minutes against the U.S. in a 0-0 draw on June 25, 1995, a memorable game that concluded the 1995 Nike U.S. Cup. He also went the distance in a 4-1 win for Colombia at the 1995 Copa America that denied the U.S. a third-place finish.
Rongen led the Under-20 team in their exciting quarterfinal run in 2007 World Cup in Canada. He was also at the helm in the 2003 tournament where the U.S. finished in fifth place.
"I am excited to be continuing with the Under-20 team," said Rongen. "I want to thank the Federation for the opportunity to build on the success we have had in the past few years, and I look forward to moving on with the promising young players who will be working toward the 2009 U-20 World Cup."
Rongen will begin the two-year cycle by leading an Under-18 team in the Limoges Tournament in France in late October. The 2009 FIFA Under-20 World Cup will be held in Egypt.
"Having Thomas back on board and having Wilmer join our Youth National Team staff is great for our program," said U.S. Men's National Team head coach Bob Bradley. "It is very clear in the appointments that have been made this week that the focus within our Youth National Teams is about player development. It is important for us moving forward to continue to connect all of our programs, from the Development Academy through to the U.S. National Team."
The U.S. Under-17 Men's National Team is the only team in the world to have qualified for every World Cup at that age level, earning one fourth-place and two fifth-place finishes in five World Cup cycles since the launch of the U-17 Residency Program in 1999.
Since the establishment of U-17 Residency almost nine years ago, the program has seen remarkable success in connecting players through U.S. Soccer's National Team program and on to the full team. Of the 60 players capped by Bradley in 2007, 12 have been a part of the Under-17 Residency Program, a strong reflection of the programs development. Five players from the U-17 Residency Program (Landon Donovan, DaMarcus Beasley, Oguchi Onyewu, Bobby Convey and Eddie Johnson) participated in the 2006 FIFA World Cup.

You can't bottle the true make up of a man
For years the beauty industry has stayed afloat off the back of female insecurity. Blemishes, wrinkles, bags under the eyes, there's always a product to purchase. And now men are being encouraged to do the same.
From 'moisturising aftershave' to 'Urban Camouflage concealer', it's all very metro-macho. Unsurprisingly, make-up for men seems to be taking off in the land of the plastic fantastic - the United States. According to an American study, the amount of money spent on facial skincare products for men grew 11 percent from 2010 compared to 2011.
Sure, the packaging is more cigar box than bath-bomb princess, and it's never directly referred to as 'make-up,' but sales of men's toiletries are expected to hit $3.2 billion USD by 2016. Products beyond the standard aftershaves, shampoos and deodorants are an increasingly large percentage of this figure.
As the labels say, these new products are all about 'power,' and 'coverage'. But does this strategy actually work on Australian men?
Most Aussie guys pride themselves on bravado and 'sun-kissed' skin, but they're no strangers to a bit of pampering either. Thousands of them take medication like Roacutane to avoid acne-pockmarks, and even more spend money going to the hairdresser. Sites like BeautyMate.com.au makes money packaging moisturisers with endearing labels like the 'Big Boy Pack,' and 'Good on You Shampoo.' But makeup? Surely Aussie men are too proud for that.
Most women I know wear make-up because it's expected and it makes them look good. It highlights the nice things and covers the bad. So why are men who have been told for decades that all they need to do is spray deodorant to get laid, suddenly reaching for the foundation bottle?
Maybe it's because we're a generation obsessed with ourselves, trying all the while to look our very best. But who said a polished, immaculately smelling man is best? It's no secret that 'rugged' is a term of endearment when directed at guys. I'd go so far as to list 'stubble' a desirable characteristic.
One thing's for sure, if men do make the choice to dabble in concealer or de-wrinkle their face, the reaction if you're found out ain't pretty. Mark Zuckerberg was crucified for wearing make up during a video filmed before Facebook's public launch. Apparently he was trying to hide the circles around his eyes.
You'd hope that the wheels of paranoia which have convinced women for decades they need altering haven't caught up to men. Gender roles are fluent and I'm all for equality, but 'cake-face' isn't a term Australian men should aspire to.

Dene says:
Most straight guys I knew in Sydney were all dressed "Gayer" than my gay friends - the stereotyoes etc are all being perpuated by feral bogans who genuinely still believe burping in public is sexy!
Melbourne - where i was born, now live, - is more neutral but getting just as bad!
So many here have said that the pretty biys dont get the girls? Of course they don,t - Women don't want the nice clean guys! ??? Yeh right..
Kim says:
I'd personally like it if more men started wearing makeup. I loathe the gender stereotypes we all corner ourselves into. Enough with the "women should do this" and "men should do that", already. People - and genders - can not be generalised so easily.
I want to live in a culture where either - makeup or no makeup - are considered to be OK, and people are free to make a decision for themselves without fear of being judged either way.
Sandrine says:
Truly, all I can see coming is another "you're not good enough" marketing campaign to promote product.
There seems too, to be a push to rid the world of anything less than perfection. It keeps everyone's shoulder to the wheel and the money circulating.
Budz says:
Guys that straighten their hair, now that crap I just don't get! Seriously? What's wrong with you people?
Soos says:
@ Emma says:10:58am | 27/06/12
Dont overestimate a womans intelligence when it comes to looks. We are pretty stupid in that department…
...and anyone else who chooses to use the royal "we"...
please speak for just yourself!
renold says:
Don't need any of that stuff, blessed with good skin and good looks. Have no need to shave the hair of my chest either…who came up with that crap actually?
One tiny flaw in my good looks, I'm slowly gaining a bit more face…but apparently that's sexy, well thats my excuse anyway and I wont be going to Asley and Martin
Pricey says:
Hartz I like where you are going,
I work with a guy who I am sure has started to wear make up to work. I have worked with him six months and come 4 in the afternoon he usually rocks a decent beard. Nowadays the females in the office have noticed his 'flawless skin tone and kind eyes' I started paying attention and even I can notice sublte changes. I brought this up with him and he denied it quickly. I figure if he wants to do it then at least be proud of it.
The only success I see is that now he has a lot of female 'Friends' but he still complains about striking out. So what has he really achieved?
I am successful with Soap, shampoo and cologne.. and until that changes why do I need revitiliasing moisture enriched skin toner. Well played to the genius marketers who managed to lull a whole swag of people into thinking they need all these products for a better life.
prosperity says:
It's amazing. Depending on the context, gays are either a minuscule percentage of all men, or they are some huge percentage of the male population who can underwrite millions of dollars in a consumer category.
Lucas says:
I am a man that wears moisturises every day. My father died of skin cancer and it was recommended to me by my doctor, but it is the sunscreen that is the important bit. But normal sunscreen smells bad, so SPF30 moisturiser it is
andrew says:
i'd always just relied on shower gel,deoderant and toothpaste as my only cosmetic products until i started getting dermatitis over the last few years. I'm now allergic to soap and have to use soap-free wash like dermeze or QV, also if i don't moisturise a couple of times a day my hands will dry out to the point where they will crack and start bleeding. I seem to be allergic to some degree to most moisturisers including sorbolene cream (my GP was very surprised when i told him this) so after trying most of my girlfriend's selection i found that for about $3 a bottle AVON hand and nail cream does the trick.
Other than that i shave most days at my girl's request as she doesn't like her face being scratched by stubble, Previously it was generally every second or third day - or the day before i went back to work if i was on annual leave.
Katie says:
My fiance and I went to buy him some aftershave the other day.
We had no idea what we were looking at. Apparently, the days where a bottle of aftershave is just labelled 'aftershave' is gone! It's all 'rehydration cream' or 'epic moisturising balm' and the like.
In the end we went with one of two we found that was labelled 'aftershave'. At least we knew what the heck it was.
Note: Female cosmetics confuse me as well, but at least they usually label them as what they are!
Ally says:
Nothing wrong with men's face care products - cleansers, scrubs and moisturisers are all great and more men should use them to look after their skin.
But unless you're a clown, men's make up is a big fat no for me. I used to work with a guy we all swore wore mascara and foundation and it was just a huge turnoff. Most women do not want a man that's prettier than them.
SKA says:
Most of my friends and colleagues are masters of the natural 'make-up" styling - which means their eyelashes might look a little longer and their skin a little clearer when they are wearing it but they are still 100% recognisable and attractive wearing none at all. I do know two people who "cake it on" - they are both very pretty without makeup and I can't understand why they haven't realised that they looking shocking when they plaster foundation on themselves (actually, in the case of one, orange bronzer… nothing worse than someone with ultra fair skin with an overlay of orange bronzer all over).
I like to wear make-up at work and when going out, partly because I work in a company where I am expected to and partly because it gives me a confidence boost - if guys want to wear a bit of foundation to hide acne like women do, as long as they don't smother themselves in it, I figure they can do what they want. Whenever I have break-outs, I am glad for foundation and I used to feel sorry for men that they couldn't hide theirs if they wanted.
Hartz says:
My friend Ben is one of these guys - I'm almost sure he wears make up everyday, his hair is immaculate. He loves sipping wine spritzers while watching the tennis. Then he went and got a girlfriend and freaked us all out… apparently our assumption that he played for the other team was incorrect and he just grew up in a privileged environment where being a metro was encouraged… we love him but I hope it doesn't become the norm through out society..!!
Hartz says:
HAHA - The Aussie male is dying and the metro sexual wine sipping collar poppers are proliferating. I never thought i'd see the day…!! Judging by my wifes response I'm not sure it will attract women the way they think it will… Maybe my wife is old fashioned but I think a "blokey" fella will always be the alpha dog and never short of a girl or two. I know the first of my friends to show up wearing make up will be teased mercilessly.. In a good natured aussie blike kinda way ; )
Emma says:
Hmm I guess it is a bit unfair that we expect men to be naturally hot. We want a flat stomach but we dont like the idea of men spending every day in the gym kissing their abs and posing infront of the mirror. We want full hair but we dont want them to fuss over it. It should be "naturally" full and always a hint untidy. We like to watch them play rugby or do manual labour but they shouldnt stink afterwards but smell manly sexy.
But as a side note: Not many women I know cake makeup on their faces every day. A little bit of mascara maybe and some lipstick. But no war paint just to go to the supermarket. The rule is "Your make up is perfect when noone can see you used make up".
Craig says:
Frankly I despise make-up on women as well.
Anyone who believes they need to conceal or highlight their features to look good is suffering from a self-esteem issue which will cripple them in life.
Why aren't more women in boardrooms? Why do women consistently earn less than men? Why are women considered chattel in some parts of the world?
An inferiority complex that has been culturally embedded and is sustained through impractical clothing, uncomfortable hair removal and a hatred of natural female faces and bodies is one of the stronger underlying causes that isn't being addressed.
Sure we all like to have beautiful women around - but that's a chain used to bind women into slavery, a cultural artifact. What is beauty? What is 'looking good'?
It doesn't come out of a bottle, and never has.
While women demean and torture themselves how can they expect the men in their lives to treat them any differently?

On a recent afternoon at the Henderson, Nevada, headquarters of Zappos, America's leading online shoe retailer, Katrina Jadkowski, a member of the company's three-hundred-and-fifty-person Customer Loyalty Team, was on the phone with an elderly woman named Susie, from Aurora, Colorado, who wanted to exchange a pair of too-snug New Balance sneakers. "I just got back in town and I have an orthotics appointment," Susie said, sounding a bit anxious about this newfangled shopping experience.
Jadkowski, a British-born, divorced former showgirl whose colleagues have nicknamed her Hurricane, arranged to have a UPS return label printed and a replacement pair, size 5½ EE, shipped free, overnight. "That's just beautiful—I love this company!" Susie shouted.
Typing in the order rapidly, red flower decals on her fingernails, Jadkowski told Susie that it was Zappos's tenth anniversary and upgraded her to V.I.P. status—which pretty much any Zappos shopper can attain, merely by asking. (The URL of the V.I.P. site is intended to encourage the intimate act of bookmarking, since a Google search for "sensible black pumps" or "running shoes" will also turn up the company's competitors.) Male callers in particular seem to enjoy the upgrade, with its suggestion of velvet-roped back rooms. Susie, too, was pleased. "Oh, that's fabulous!" she said. "This is super."
The two women giggled conspiratorially for a few moments, and Jadkowski asked if there was anything else she could do.
"No," Susie said. "Oh, I'm tickled."
Jadkowski wished her a nice day and disconnected the call. "Sometimes you just need to let them natter on," she said, not unkindly.
The Customer Loyalty Team, or C.L.T., is the nerve center of Zappos, whose thirty-five-year-old C.E.O., Tony Hsieh, has earned a zealous following by imposing an ethos of live human connection on the chilly, anonymous bazaar of the Internet. He talks about being the architect of a movement to spread happiness, or "Zappiness," via three "C"s: clothing, customer service, and company culture.
"Eventually, we'll figure out a way of spreading that knowledge to the world in general, and that has nothing to do with selling shoes online," he told me after I visited the company over the summer.
Owning a large collection of shoes in various styles and colors has, in the past decade, gone from being considered a sign of ultimate imperial excess (Imelda Marcos) to a constitutional right of the average American woman, and Zappos is at least partly responsible. (So is "Sex and the City.") Hsieh (pronounced "shay") has changed the business so radically that, in July, Amazon.com, after trying to compete with Zappos by starting a shoe site called Endless.com, as if to sanction the new insatiability, announced plans to buy the company for ten million shares of stock (worth $790 million at press time) plus $40 million in cash. In an S.E.C. filing, Amazon vowed to leave Zappos's management structure intact.
"There're plenty of companies that don't grow, and that's fine for, like, your mom-and-pop corner store," Hsieh said to me two weeks later, over the phone from Minneapolis, where he was addressing General Mills. (He has become a coveted "get" on the motivational-speaker circuit.) "But, for me personally at Zappos, the company needs to grow in order for the movement to happen."
When he was asked how he and Amazon's C.E.O., Jeff Bezos, will share power in the new order, he said, "Yeah . . . we'll see."
At its most rarefied, shoe shopping still takes place in hushed, pastel-carpeted salons, with salesmen (they are usually men—one doesn't like to think too closely about why) staggering under stacks of boxes and kneeling down to insure the perfect fit before whisking away the charge plates of their waiting Cinderellas. Some people still consider pawing through the sale racks at Bloomingdale's or the fluorescent-lit aisles of the Designer Shoe Warehouse an enjoyable contact sport. But Zappos and its imitators—shoes.com, heels.com, and the Gap's inexplicably named piperlime.com—are shifting this public transaction into the comfort and privacy of customers' living rooms. There, thanks to Zappos's three-hundred-and-sixty-five-day return policy, we can all be Imelda Marcos, sifting through ceiling-high piles of boxes, and waiting in sweatpanted indolence for the UPS man to pick up our rejects.
Unlike most Web sites, including Amazon's, which seem to be operated by spectral forces rather than by human beings, Zappos prominently displays a toll-free customer-service phone number. There are no limits on call times, and the resulting sessions occasionally resemble protracted talk therapy. On July 5th, a twenty-two-year-old C.L.T. member named Britnee Brown, who has been with the company for a little more than a year, took a call that was a record five hours, twenty-five minutes, and thirty-one seconds long, from a woman on the East Coast interested in Masai Barefoot Technology shoes, which purport to mimic supposedly salubrious barefoot-on-the-beach walking with curved rubber platforms. "We started talking about her sister," Brown said. The call that set the previous record lasted more than four hours, with a woman afflicted by peripheral neuropathy who had trouble feeling her feet. "She told me childhood stories, things like that," Jennifer S., the operator who handled that one, said in a video posted on YouTube. Zappos has advertised sparingly thus far, preferring word of mouth, and (unlike most companies) encourages employees to let it all hang out on Twitter and Facebook.

That is true. Free game for folks with the issue.
I finally got some free time to really sit down and enjoy NBA 2K14 today...you can't really appreciate just how amazing this game is until you play it in person.
Its without a doubt one of the most beautiful video games I've ever seen of any kind.

How is the flow with the kinect? Going from game to tv to DVD?
Pretty smooth/quick. Although I can't seem to get it to understand me when I reference a bluray for some reason. I have to use the controller for that, but that's still very quick. You just hit the Xbox button, which seamlessly takes you to the dashboard without closing your game/tv/video, and then you pick whatever you want to do instead. It's great how it saves your place with games and movies.
Have you tried a Skype call? I Skype frequently with family and that feature sold me on picking it up early.
I've used it once. The other end was using a smartphone, but it worked pretty well. I'd like to try it with someone using another kinect at some point.
Currently, you can't snap a video skype connection to the side panel while doing something else, but I believe that's coming later. In the meantime, if you do something else it keeps the connection going through audio only.
I'm sort of pissed I still need my 360 because nba gametime and crunchyroll, two services I paid for, don't have apps on xbox one. Get your **** together, MS.
2013 Pacers Digest NBA 2K13 Champion (Xbox 360)
Yeah, I was disappointed when I found out NBA game time wasn't going to be a launch app. I hope that's up soon.
How are retailers going to compete when there are digital downloads? Will a new release be available at 12:01 release day for digital download? If so.. Who would ever go to GameStop again?
You could still see extras offered for in store versions I suppose.

You can't sell used digital downloads back to gamestop, nor can you buy them at a discount from the online marketplace.

You might want to keep experimenting with getting your 360 to work with the Xbox one. I read multiple times over the last few months that that's supposed to be able to work.
so...my NBA 2K14 won't work anymore. The menu won't respond to the controller. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling. Same problem.
2013 Pacers Digest NBA 2K13 Champion (Xbox 360)
My earlier troubles took me three fresh installs before it would work. That's the only thing I know to recommend.
I read a tip that if you press A exactly at the "17,000 hours" part of the intro, it works, and you'll be able to navigate the menus. Shockingly, it did.
2K says they have a patch coming this week that will address this.

finally played my first online team up...way easier to rebound, and the computer AI is much better on both ends of the floor.
The players feel so much heavier...not that that's a bad thing. A 7 footer shouldnt be able to move his feet or change directions very well.

Got it
Full kinect voice and gesture map
The install time is forever and a day my lord
I'm a big offline association guy and I must say... X1's version is AMAZING. Everything I'd ever want it to be. So in depth to the point if you have a bad rep with a team, they don't even answer your phone calls
I drafted this athletic C who is an absolute beast. He plays a lot like a young Shaq lol. I also love how coaching matters now and all the badges for personal. I fired Ty Corbin and hired a coach who is a teacher so my young roster would grow together. Just a lot of depth and the scary thing is they are just scratching the surface I can't imingine how good it will be in a few years. I hope they integrate euro league and the Dleague.
I use the user created draft class for a few years. Always like the real names to draft. But it's incredibly detailed.

Small grants-based programs (SGBP) like those led by IUCN National Committees of Netherlands and France or CARPE focal points of IUCN have proved their efficiency in answering environmental issues faced by the southern countries.
Local NGOs have more executive legitimacy than international NGOs.
Targeted to small-scaled NGOs, these programs help the civil society to emerge in a bottom-up process and to improve its structural organization while building its capacities for lobbying and improvement of national environmental policies.
Furthermore, small grants have proven to be cost effective in terms of biodiversity conservation and sustainable use and ultimately poverty alleviation.
With regard to a rising number of interesting proposals submitted by southern NGOs, it appears that available means are not sufficient to cover a relevant demand and priority needs from civil society organizations, especially considering current biodiversity conservation needs.
Therefore, this workshop aims at providing an overview of European cooperation towards southern countries civil society. More specifically, the purpose is to study the feasibility of strengthening the small grants programs within Europe, State Members and private sector.

Plus, volunteering is good for your health! Not only are you giving back to your community and helping others, but you are improving yourself at the same time. Volunteering can: help you develop new friendships, gain confidence and learn new skills, make professional contacts, and give you a sense of purpose and well-being.
We currently have over 20 different areas at Samaritan where volunteers are used on a daily basis. Some examples at the hospital are the Information Desk, Patient Registration, the Emergency Department, Storeroom, and the Gift Shop. At the Samaritan Keep Home and Samaritan Summit Village, volunteers assist with weekly outings, activities like baking and crafts and simple things like reading to a resident, or writing to a loved one on the resident's behalf.

Five former Longhorns have been selected to the 2013 NFL Pro Bowl, including Seattle Seahawks S Earl Thomas and Chicago Bears DT Henry Melton for the NFC, and Cleveland Browns PK Phil Dawson, Kansas City Chiefs RB Jamaal Charles and Chiefs LB Derrick Johnson for the AFC.
It marks the first time in UT history it will have five representatives after previously having four on three occasions, including 1957, 1968 and 2010. Texas has also had at least three players chosen in six of the last eight years.
It will be the second-straight appearance for Thomas and Johnson, and the second in the last three years for Charles, while Dawson and Melton will be making their first trips. Texas has now had 40 different Pro Bowlers representing 22 different teams in a total of 94 appearances.
In addition, it extends Texas' streak of consecutive years with at least one Pro Bowl player to 12, which is a school record. There have only been 11 years in Texas history without at least one.
The Pro Bowl will played on Sunday, Jan. 27, 2013, in Honolulu, and will air at 6 p.m. CT on NBC.

Great Salt Lake Nature Center hosts nature workshops, tours & activities.
FARMINGTON — Are you looking for something fun — and free — to do with your children on UEA weekend?
A trip to the Great Salt Lake Nature Center might be the answer.
On Oct. 1, 2009 the center will offer free nature workshops, tours and activities. The event runs from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
"We'll have plenty for people to do," says Justina Parsons-Bernstein, director of the Great Salt Lake Nature Center. "For example, you can investigate animal tracks and the places animals live, and identify creepy, crawly bugs. We'll also have fun crafts you can make, and we'll take you on tours to see birds."
Parsons-Bernstein says children must be accompanied by a parent or a guardian. "The weather will probably be chilly on Thursday, so make sure you dress in warm clothes," she says. "Hot cider and coffee will also be available to help warm you up."
The Great Salt Lake Nature Center is part of the Farmington Bay Waterfowl Management Area. The WMA is just west of Farmington.
For directions to the site or for more information, visit www.greatsaltlakenaturecenter.org. You can also call Parsons-Bernstein at (801) 589-2373.

I'm just a little lost on which version is better. I'm guessing the retail version would be better for upgrading but I was wondering what version would be best. I do have an iAtkos 10.5.7 disc lying around so I can do the booting from usb drive. Also could I use a memory card reader and a 8gb memory card or an external hard drive. Thanks if you could help me
Btw my specs are
Asus P7H55-M Pro mobo
an i3 530 processor with integrated GPU till I decide to get a gts 250
I'm pretty sure nothing else would be important other than that but if so I'll give it up to ya lol
