In this monthly column, Defense Daily highlights individuals from across the government, industry and academia whose efforts contribute daily to national defense, from the program managers to the human resource leaders, to the engineers and logistics officers, to defense entrepreneurs.
Brian Morrison is vice president and general manager of the Cyber Systems line of business for General Dynamics Mission Systems. He joined General Dynamics in 2012 and Mission Systems specifically in 2018. Before moving to General Dynamics, Morrison served in the Department of Defense as deputy assistant secretary of defense as the chief legislative strategist and liaison for matters with the House of Representatives. Before joining DoD, he was deputy staff director and general counsel with the House's Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence.
How did you get involved in the defense industry or community?
I was a practicing lawyer on September 11, and I called a recruiter the very next day. I joined the reserves shortly after. That led me not just to Iraq in uniform, but also drove my civilian career to the Central Intelligence Agency, the House of Representatives Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, and the Office of the Secretary of Defense.
After about a decade in government, I left my job as a Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense to join General Dynamics. I chose GD because it seemed to me that it had the same devotion to mission and dedication to our warfighters that I found in the government. Many things about industry are different, but at GD I've found that mission and customer focus to be in many ways the same.
How do you work to be a mentor yourself to younger counterparts?
I think the single most important part of being a mentor is blindingly obvious: you've got to show up. That means being available, being a part of the regular experience of someone, familiar with their challenges, strengths and opportunities. I think too often we think of mentoring as something that can be done with a 30-minute quarterly check-in. It would be easier if it worked that way, but I just don't believe it does. Mentoring, like almost anything worth doing, takes time and effort.
Substantively, I really try to instill in people the value of servant leadership. I was trained in this company that my number one internal job was to remove the obstacles to the success of the larger team.
What does it mean to be successful in your career field?
It's pretty simple. Success is when we hear back from a customer that a mission was a success, or a system is up and running, and that our work helped make it happen.
If we help our customers achieve their missions, lots of other things that look like success become possible: investments in people and unbelievably cool technologies, growth in the business, new opportunities and mission spaces. Those things are success, to be sure, but they follow from driving excellence for our customers.
What are some of the under-appreciated positions in the defense field, the unsung heroes or essential cogs in the machine that help the job get done with less recognition?
I've learned a lot about this in the last couple of years. In the past, our supply chain team ordered parts, the parts showed up on time, and our manufacturing team built our products according to a schedule. Of course, in the last two years, that entire simple process has broken down, and revealed itself to be not that simple. Parts are hard to come by, lead times are long, and the manufacturing process is disrupted. We've been able to protect our customers' missions by herculean efforts to bring in parts and surge our manufacturing efforts when we were clear to build. The result of this has been that something that might have historically been silent and underappreciated is now very much appreciated.
In a similar vein, through COVID we have seen our customers, particularly in the Intelligence Community, struggle with staffing, just like industry. As a result, we've really come to appreciate the pressures faced by our customers' contracts, finance, security and accreditation staff. Again, what once was silent and underappreciated is now very much appreciated.
How can the industry improve in promoting these individuals and building them up?
On the manufacturing and supply chain front, part of it is about giving them a seat at the table, including at the earliest stages of development. It's much easier to design for supply chain and for manufacturability than it is to address those things later. Of course, part of it is simply appreciating how hard those jobs are and how much they matter.
With regard to helping the unsung functions at our customers, we've got to work to find innovative and less labor-intensive ways to negotiate and enter into contracts Without sacrificing security, we need to find ways for us to bear more of the certification and accreditation burdens.
How has the culture changed around diversity within your career?
I think people understand today that diversity is an imperative, not a bonus. There is a significant amount of empirical evidence that shows that diverse teams perform better at driving innovation. To me, that means that if we improve the diversity of our teams, we improve our performance for our customers, and consequently improve our customers' mission success. As we compete in a very tight labor market, we've also found that diversity helps us in that competition – both in terms of attracting new employees who want to be on a diverse team, but also in opening up the talent pool to groups that have historically not been well-represented in the defense industry. Finally, our ability to do significant jobs from remote or partially remote environments has allowed us to appeal to other groups that might not have considered our work in the past.
What is your advice for new entrants to the defense/military community?
Certainly, you've got to be in it for the mission. Any job has hard days, and if you're not motivated by something bigger than your career or your paycheck, you're going to struggle with motivation on those hard days, and it's too easy to jump to a more lucrative industry, without the complications of security clearances and SCIFs.
I also encourage people to spend some time in government. There's a richness of understanding that comes from working on both the customer side and the industry side. For anyone working on the industry side, I can't emphasize enough the importance of getting out to customer locations and seeing how our technology impacts their missions. It makes the technology better, helps the missions and it is motivating.
What do you see as the future of your sector in national defense?
The notion of battles waged by nation-states with conventional weapons and overt armies is an antiquated one. Tomorrow's battles will be silent, without attribution, or often even knowledge that an attack has taken place. The notion of a fixed battlespace is gone – cyber warfare can and does go on in essentially any "place." Even the notion of what constitutes a combatant is changing – platforms that were once designed around human operators are increasingly envisioned as remotely operated or autonomous. That networking and automation vastly increases the cyber threat surface.
For the cyber security market, that means robust, military-grade cyber security products that can be easily customized for a mission and rapidly integrated into a platform with minimal effort. For the encryption market, I think we'll see a marked trend toward adaptable encryption platforms and products, at higher and higher speeds. I also anticipate that the trend we've seen away from "good enough" commercial encryption back to purpose-built, hardened crypto.
All of that will require investment. I know the national security establishment has come to grips with the notion that our adversaries see cyber warfare as a way to erode our long military supremacy. I think the next decade will reflect that, with an unprecedented number of new military cyber security and encryption products coming to the missions.

Copil, the world number 93, stunned second seed Alexander Zverev of Germany 6-3 6-7 (6) 6-4 in the day's other semi-final.
It was the landmark 99th career title for Federer, and leaves him one title away from 100, and also from hitting double digits at the Swiss Indoors Basel.
Federer, 37, spent nearly 90 minutes less on court Saturday than Copil, who has had to come through six matches to reach his second career ATP final.
Before this event, Copil never had beaten a top 10 opponent in six tries.
The 37-year-old is second on the all-time singles titles list, trailing only Jimmy Connors who won 109 times.
"I was trying to win one or two matches here just to stay there but now, being in the final, it's an unbelievable achievement for me".
"I made a promise to my fans to say a few words in French as well so here we are", he said in French.
Despite the win, Federer will be displeased with himself for dropping his own serve on five occasions, including three times in the second set.
"I was hoping to serve well, get some free points".
The second set produced five breaks of serve - only two to Federer - before Simon struck the victor.
This was Federer's 18th consecutive winning match at a tournament where he is unbeaten since 2013 and is an eight time victor.

I've freelanced for a decade. Been a musician for three and a half. The two have combined a couple of times with two podcast jingle commissions. But mostly I write for the web.
Rewind to 1978/9. Caught the punk/new wave bug. Got my first electric guitar at 16. Formed my first band, Khartomb, at 18. A John Peel Session, a minor cult single and a few gigs later and in 86 (when indie music really came of age) the dream fizzled out.
But if music's in your blood it stays there. Since 86 I've recorded solo stuff on my Tascam 4-track and my Mac. Worked with several singers. Formed another band in the mid-90s (Heart of Voh, if you must know)… Coulda. Woulda. Shoulda.
Nine months later… We've got an 11-song set of old, re-worked and new songs. Had an interview on Brooklyn internet radio station, Newtown Radio in July (DJ Harris Smith played our single on NYC station East Village Radio several years ago). We're planning a recording studio session. Gigs are a serious possibility too.
Initially via Facebook and Email. Now regular Thursday lunchtime telephone catch ups to arrange rehearsals and discuss next steps.
I tried and failed to work with other singers in the last 2 years. Hopeless.
Yet Caroline and I have produced new material ("Really good", said Harris Smith, Newtown Radio) like nobody's business. What that chemistry is, is hard to pinpoint. But any creative person knows when you find it. Or rediscover it.
We both still loved music. We'd both carried on producing our own material before we got back together. But joining forces has rekindled that passion for new music and amplified it to the same decibel level of the mid-80s.
Rehearsals. No mean feat as Caroline's up in Lincolnshire and only occasionally in Hertfordshire (I'm in Beds). There's scope for some online collaboration but you can't beat face-to-face.
Promotion. Self-promoting music nowadays means managing Twitter, Facebook, Bandcamp, Youtube, E-newsletters, PRSforMusic registrations. The latter especially if you're doing live performances. Next is a website (which I've worked on this weekend). And I'm booked onto a Guardian Masterclass about Self-releasing music on Sept 23.
It's heaps to do. But with the drive and belief in your project you find the time, and energy to keep it all ticking.
Eg I was on a short break in Somerset recently. But managed to remix a new Khartomb track "Cabbages and Kings" on my laptop. Emailed it to Caroline for 'sign off'. Uploaded to Bandcamp and posted on Facebook & Twitter. A laptop and a so-so wi-fi connection (and that energy) was all I needed.
Ironically both Caroline and I are incredibly 'time poor'. We didn't appreciate how much spare time we had in our student and early work years. But this realisation helps to make our rehearsals ultra productive.
And OK, Khartomb is my side project. But the more I've immersed myself into the band, the more it's dawned on me that, if it could be, it would be my main project.
Why? Probably cos I get the biggest buzz from creating songs. Partly cos I love the process of creating new songs from a melody or guitar riff. And partly cos music touches people on a deeper and more emotional level than possibly any other art form.
I don't have any illusions or delusions about making a living from music in 2014. It's way way harder than it was for 'Khartomb Mark I'. It's super easy to get your stuff online but there's buckets of background noise. Getting noticed is an enormous challenge.
Despite all the pitfalls, Khartomb prevails. Seeking that next milestone: recording studio session, national radio airplay, licensing deal (film/TV soundtrack), live performance(s), a viral moment. (maybe). OK, we've done several of those before but not in this decade and the desire to succeed is still there.
I think with any side project us creatives need a perfect storm of (that) desire, energy, planning and positive reinforcement courtesy of friends, colleagues, supporters and especially fans to keep on keeping on.
He is also a member of our mini-hubs.

What Are the Side Effects of Taking DGL?
When people use large amounts for more than four weeks, side effects of consuming deglycyrrhized licorice include high blood pressure, low potassium levels, weakness, paralysis and sometimes brain damage, states WebMD. Licorice is likely safe for consumption in foods and possibly safe when consumed for short periods of time.
Additional side effects of deglycyrrhized licorice include headache, tiredness, and water and sodium retention, according to WebMD. Women may also experience the absence of a menstrual period, while men may experience loss of sexual interest and function.
These side effects vary depending on the health of the individual. People with heart disease, kidney disease or high blood pressure may be at risk for increased symptoms, WebMD explains. For example, since deglycyrrhized licorice can raise blood pressure, individuals who already have high blood pressure should not consume large amounts of DGL. As little as 5 grams of deglycyrrhized licorice per day can worsen health problems in people who have heart disease, kidney disease or high blood pressure.
Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should not consume deglycyrrhized licorice, states WebMD. In women who are pregnant, taking deglycyrrhized licorice by mouth may increase the risk of early delivery. High consumption, about 250 grams per week, may cause a miscarriage or early delivery. Additionally, as of 2015, the safety of consuming licorice during breastfeeding is unknown.

Pascal Leclaire
Pascal Leclaire calls it a career
By Mike HalfordNov 13, 2012, 10:48 AM EDT
Former Columbus Blue Jackets and Ottawa Senators goalie Pascal Leclaire has announced his retirement at the age of 30.
Leclaire, taken eighth overall by Columbus at the 2001 NHL Entry Draft, cited a recurring hip injury as the reason for hanging up his skates.
That an injury ended his career isn't all that surprising — Leclaire dealt with health issues throughout his seven years in the NHL…
— 2006-07: Missed over 40 games with a knee injury.
— 2008-09: Missed over 40 games with an ankle injury.
–2009-10: Missed over 20 games with a concussion and broken jaw.
— 2010-11: Missed over 40 games with the aforementioned hip injury.
Leclaire also had three surgeries performed last season — which he sat out entirely — to try and correct the hip issue, but to no avail.
It's a sad ending to a once promising career. Leclaire appeared destined for good things when, in 2007-08, he finished second in the NHL with nine shutouts, seventh in GAA (2.25) and 11th in save percentage (.919).
That season also marked the first time Columbus eclipsed the 80-point plateau in franchise history.
Leclaire was traded to Ottawa at the 2009 trade deadline and briefly held the Sens starting gig. The highlight of his time in the Canadian capital came during an opening-round playoff loss to Pittsburgh in 2010 — Leclaire was brilliant in Ottawa's triple-OT Game 5 win, stopping 56 of 59 shots, finishing as the game's first star.

Jaroslav Halak blanks Habs in return to Montreal
By James O'BrienJan 10, 2012, 10:40 PM EDT
For a goalie with a rather bland style, Jaroslav Halak sure has a flair for the dramatic.
Surely Montreal Canadiens fans must have seen flashes of the goalie who helped them claw their way to the 2010 Eastern Conference finals tonight, as he helped the St. Louis Blues shut out his former team 3-0.
This video is no longer available. Click here to watch more NBC Sports videos!
Halak didn't exactly a break much of a sweat as he needed just 19 saves in the game, but at least he had highlight moments like that breakaway stop on Tomas Plekanec. Carey Price helped Habs fans get over Halak's departure with a superior season in 2010-11 and it was probably even to start off this year, but Lou Korac points out Halak's dramatic improvement with Ken Hitchcock in charge:
In Hitchcock's most recent coaching stint, both Pascal Leclaire and Steve Mason put together single-season runs that helped them make a ton of money that some might argue they didn't really deserve.*
Halak already received a big payday thanks to his enthralling playoff run, but he might just earn those big bucks with Hitchcock watching from the bench – even if every night isn't as exciting as this Tuesday in Montreal.
* – People tend to forget that Leclaire notched nine shutouts the season (2007-08) before Mason won the Calder Trophy with 10 of his own.

Pascal Leclaire's ailing hip leaves him longing for a NHL job this summer
By Joe YerdonAug 31, 2011, 12:13 AM EDT
We've seen most free agent goalies find their way this summer save for a pair of guys. Marty Turco and Pascal Leclaire are the two NHL-experienced guys we haven't seen land a new job around the league and while a guy like Ray Emery gets a shot to win a spot with the Blackhawks, both Turco and Leclaire are left wondering what's going on.
While Turco's case is a bit more curious given that he's healthy and able to play, Leclaire's free agency is a bit more perilous. Leclaire's season came to an end last year thanks to an injured hip and while injuries are nothing new in his career this time around it's keeping him from staying involved in the NHL.
Ken Warren of the Ottawa Citizen catches up with Leclaire and finds out that his surgically repaired hip isn't responding the way he'd like it to.
A free agent offer in July from an NHL team — he won't say which one — fell through when he couldn't pass the medical tests. Considering the small world that is the NHL, it didn't take long for the word to spread.
"It's frustrating, but it will be much more frustrating when (training camps) get started," Leclaire said Tuesday, following an informal scrimmage with some of his former Senators teammates and other NHL players who call Ottawa home.
"There has been some progress [with his hip], but it's not good enough to play at the NHL level," he said. "The league is too good to try and go at 80 per cent … I don't even know if I'm 80 per cent."
Seeing Leclaire deal with this problem while another guy like Ray Emery continues his comeback from a degenerative hip condition that saw a radical surgery get him back on the ice makes for a bizarre coincidence for the former Senators goalies. Making it even harder for Leclaire is seeing that he had an offer to play but wasn't healthy enough to get the deal done. At his age (29 years-old) and his status as a former first round pick of the Blue Jackets (8th overall in 2001) makes it a bit sadder to see his career essentially wind up in a stand-still.
That said, it's not as if his career is over it's just that his chances of earning an NHL team's confidence in him take another hit thanks to his struggle in coming back from this latest setback. His injury history in the NHL is extensive from his time both in Columbus and Ottawa and with how slow his rehab is taking him now, a team will need to be in a tough spot to rely on him as an NHL-level guy again. You certainly can't view him as a potential starter without proof he can handle the workload and wanting him to be a backup is tough because if he gets hurt again his team would be back at square one.
For now, Leclaire will just have to stick to it and keep trying to get back to 100%. If he can do that, he'll find a way back in the league. If not, his story might end up being an unfortunate one.

Assessing the bottom of the barrel: Which remaining unrestricted free agents are worth a look?
By James O'BrienAug 27, 2011, 9:00 AM EDT
With September training camps just a few weeks away, the game of musical chairs is almost over for the remaining unrestricted free agents out there. Granted, there might be future opportunities during the 2011-12 season itself, but that's probably not a very appetizing possibility for the guys who are hoping to pull in another NHL contract.
To be fair, there aren't a lot of no-brainers left. Some might argue that there are none. That being said, if NHL general managers are willing to keep their expectations in order, there are still a few players out there who could help their teams or might at least be worth a shot.
With that in mind, here are a few of the more interesting free agents looking for work. This list is wholly subjective, so if you want a full view of everyone available, click here. If you notice a glaring omission, then it might come down to your own personal taste about a given hockey player. It's probably worth noting that there are only a couple players whose lack of employment surprises me, though.
Let's start with the guys who might not make a huge splash, but can do dirty work.
John Madden – This guy might be the most deserving of an NHL job. Sure, he's getting up there in years at 38, but he shouldn't come at a high cost and has three Stanley Cup victories (two with New Jersey, one with Chicago) on his resume.
More important than the Cups – to me, at least – is his versatility. He won't knock your socks off with his offensive output (25 points in 2010-11; 23 in both 09-10 and 08-09), but he can be a moderate threat on the PK and plays a lot of the tough minutes that can open doors for your star players. I wondered if he really dropped off the map that badly in Minnesota, but he was their top forward when it came to shorthanded time per game (2:27 minutes) and only missed six games last season.
Any number of contenders could use a player like Madden if he's OK with signing a cheapish deal. Mike Grier brings some similar strengths to the table, but I'd take Madden over Grier at this point.
Paul Mara – He's a limited player no doubt, but there are certain defensemen I like to refer to as "inning eaters." Mara might not be sublimely talented – and worse yet, he's injury prone – but teams with thinner defense corps would benefit from his size and experience. And while it might feel like it happened ages ago, Mara does have two 40+ point seasons to his name.
Cory Stillman – It's a slight bit surprising that the familiarity-centric Carolina Hurricanes didn't bring Stillman back after he scored a solid 16 points in 21 games after the team reacquired him last season.
J.P. Dumont – Sure, he's on the decline, but why not give the six-time 20+ goal scorer a chance if he's willing to sign a cheap deal?
More talented players with more troubling flaws
Bryan McCabe – Anything bad someone could say about McCabe has already been covered with extra buckets of vitriol by Toronto Maple Leafs writers and fans. Still, he can run a power play well and isn't afraid to get physical when he's not committing terrible turnovers.
Sergei Samsonov – Offensively talented, but not enough to camouflage his issues in other areas on the ice. That being said, he seems to do well when he knows it's time to prove himself; he scored a solid 14 points in the 20 games he spent with the Florida Panthers after being traded.
Chris Campoli – A lot like a younger Bryan McCabe, only if you replaced the hits with superior skating ability. I'm not a huge fan of Campoli, but it seems like someone should give him a shot, right? Maybe?
Fascinating gambles
Pascal Leclaire – Almost certainly a flash in the pan at this point, but seems worthy of at least a two-way contract if Brian Elliott can earn one of his own.
Steve Bernier – Remember when people referred to Jonathan Bernier as Steve's younger brother? Chances are good that Steve will be a footnote in Jonathan's career when it's all over instead.
Other noteworthy names: Marty Turco, Kyle Wellwood, Mike Modano and more.
Feel free to mention any UFAs who might be worth a small gamble for prospective NHL teams.

Best of the rest update: The remaining top free agents on the market
By Joe YerdonJul 24, 2011, 6:39 PM EDT
We're over three weeks removed from the start of free agency and the signing season was quick to start and now heads into its slower days as teams rosters have filled out. While some teams have yet to get to the salary floor, the big money deals are all but over with and finding that key depth contributor to perhaps lead to a Stanley Cup run next summer can be tricky.
As it is, there's a host of guys with famous names still out on the market and with recent salary buyouts and arbitration rejection there's a few more interesting names out there for teams to sniff around at. By interesting we mean guys you know and might even ask, "He's still playing?" about.
Without further ado, here's the free agent hit-list as it stands according to the wise guys at CapGeek.
At forward you have recent buyout victims Chris Drury and J.P. Dumont. Drury's days with the Rangers are over with and as an experienced third or fourth line center he could be useful for a team in need. Perhaps a team like Ottawa or Phoenix could stand to have a guy like him to help provide depth and leadership to the host of youth on both rosters.
If veteran centers are your thing, there's also Mike Modano and Kris Draper who spent last year in Detroit, Todd White who spent time with the Rangers, and John Madden who played in Minnesota last year.
Dumont could bring some solid big-body depth to a team in need along the wings. He was able to do reasonably well there for Nashville over the last few seasons, but last year was a bad one for him with reduced ice time and just 11 goals.
Other wingers with some name recognition and perhaps a little bit to bring to the table include Sergei Samsonov, Alex Kovalev, Cory Stillman, and Ethan Moreau. If you want pure offense and potentially frustrating production there's always Nikolay Zherdev whose 16 goals in 56 games with the Flyers last year showed that he's still able to get it done in the NHL after a year in the KHL.
Teemu Selanne is still, technically, an unrestricted free agent the word out there is that if he doesn't sign with the Anaheim Ducks again, he's going to hang it up for good. Here's to hoping we see Selanne back in black and orange for one more season.
At defense, the recently let go Chris Campoli heads the list of available and useful players there. The Blackhawks and Campoli went to arbitration early so the Blackhawks could refuse his arbitration victory and set him free. With older options like Bryan McCabe, Scott Hannan, Steve Staios, Steve Eminger, Craig Rivet, and Brent Sopel out there on the market, a team in need of another experienced defenseman has some options available to them.
A team like the New York Islanders that needs to reach the salary floor and has a need for more experience on the blue line could go dipping into the pool here but don't expect Campoli to be their possible target, they've been there before with him. Besides, the Isles are busy with a reclamation story of a different kind.
With goalies, the availability list is short and the market may be impossible to get through. After Detroit signed Ty Conklin to be their backup goalie once again, for guys that are still out there they'll have a hard time finding work. That means for Pascal Leclaire, Marty Turco, and Ray Emery landing an immediate NHL job may not happen. Waiting around for injuries to happen elsewhere across the league will help potentially lead to ironic headlines in the future. For Turco, it could mean an earlier start to a television career.
The pickings are slim, but there's help to be had for some teams out there. The key will be to not make a signing end up being too foolish to make it work.

One Medical is expanding into primary care business into San Diego County, its ninth metropolitan market, the company announced Tuesday.
Early next year, San-Francisco-based One Medical will open three new offices for patients in the Southern California county.
As part of the launch, One Medical will be partnering with UC San Diego Health to coordinate and streamline primary and specialty care for consumers and employers in the community.
The announcement comes as providers and payers are looking for less-costly, easy-to-access options for patients.
Companies like One Medical offer patients same-day appointments and virtual care options. Members in San Diego will have 24/7 access to One Medical providers and staff through its app-based video visits, messaging and voice options.
"The relationship with One Medical complements our larger strategy of helping the community get timely, convenient access to primary and specialty care resources close to home," Patty Maysent, CEO of UC San Diego Health, said in a statement.
In a 2017 Advisory Board Company survey, 57% of hospital leaders said their chief concern was improving patient access to outpatient settings. Their next major concern was reducing costs. This comes as hospitals are facing shrinking volumes and rising expenses.
Primary care clinics are one option. According to a PricewaterhouseCoopers' Health Research Institute report, there are more than 3,000 retail clinics in operation nationwide, and one in three consumers has used one.
With San Diego, One Medical's footprint covers nine major U.S. markets. The others are Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, New York, Phoenix, San Francisco, Seattle and Washington, D.C.
A year ago, One Medical named Amir Rubin, former executive vice president and divisional CEO at UnitedHealth's Optum, to be the company's CEO. Rubin served as president and CEO of Stanford Health Care from 2011 to 2016.

Wolverine Pride: The M Den Debuts on Columbia Street in The District Detroit
An Ann Arbor staple has opened its doors on Columbia Street, giving Detroiters easy access to showcase their Wolverine pride. The M Den, official merchandise retailer for the University of Michigan, officially opened its first Detroit location along the emerging shopping and dining destination in The District Detroit in November.
The expansive 4,000-square-foot shop features the same great merchandise found at its other locations throughout Ann Arbor and southeast Michigan. That includes apparel for men, women and children and a variety of gifts and souvenirs, such as Yost Ice Arena hockey pucks, coffee mugs and puzzles. The shop even sells University-branded steak sauce and seasoning by Hot Sauce Harry's.
The shop opened with a tailored twist by way of its offerings. Scott Hirth, president and co-owner of The M Den, said the Detroit location features apparel that gives sports fans an opportunity to show their Detroit and Wolverine pride simultaneously. These items include graffiti-style sweatshirts by up-and-coming apparel brand Valiant, and t-shirts featuring the Detroit Tigers' Old English "D" and the word "Detroit" stylized in the University's official Victors font.
The shop's high-end line, The Victors Collection, boasts its own separate entrance. Items include licensed apparel, golf supplies and accessories by noted brands such as Nike, Vineyard Vines, Brooks Brothers, Emerson Street Clothing, HAIL, johnnie-O, and even Austrian wine glass manufacturer Riedel.
Hirth and his business partners began exploring a potential Detroit location after taking over the family-owned business in 2013. Last year, Hirth and Olympia Development of Michigan announced plans to open the retail chain's first Detroit location in the Central Business District.
"We wanted to do a couple of things: serve our customers on the east side of the metropolitan Detroit area and be a part of the great renaissance taking place in the city," Hirth said. "The Ilitch organization offered us an opportunity to do that, and we couldn't be happier."
The new shop will benefit the University's sports programs and increase the school's footprint in downtown Detroit, where it originally opened 201 years ago. Visit The M Den online at www.mden.com, on Twitter and Facebook at @TheMDen, and on Instagram at @them_den.

For query molecules it is possible to define the number of Hydrogen atoms needed to have in the target structure. Either define it explicitly by adding the Hydrogen atoms to the specified atoms or implicitly by setting implicit hydrogen count. If the implicit hydrogen count is specified then it is stored in the atom and not calculated from the valence any more.

5 NFL Rookies Looking Like Busts so Far
Thomas ConroyCorrespondent IOctober 5, 2012
CommentsComment Bubble Icon
After months of dissecting and speculating on how each rookie would play in the NFL, the first-quarter grades of the 2012 season have been posted.
Not every rookie can be elusive on the gridiron like Washington Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III, or have the composure of Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck in the pocket.
Here are the five rookies looking like busts through the first quarter of the 2012 season.
Seattle Seahawks, DE, Bruce Irvin
The surprise of last April's NFL draft has been third-round selection Russell Wilson, who came out of nowhere to become the Seattle Seahawks starting quarterback.
Their first-round pick, defensive end Bruce Irvin, has been a colossal bust, as he's been a non-factor on the football field. Yes, Irvin has 2.5 sacks on the season, but he recorded two solo sacks against the Green Bay Packers and provided very little pressure on the quarterback in the other three games.
The Seahawks wanted to improve their pass rush last offseason by drafting a defensive lineman who could rattle the quarterback in the pocket. Irvin is explosive off the ball, but he doesn't have the strength to go through a physical offensive lineman.
New York Jets, WR, Stephen Hill
New York Jets wide receiver Stephen Hill is a classic example of an athlete that moved up in the NFL draft because of his combine workout.
Hill has the ideal build (6'4", 215 lbs) and speed (4.36 in the 40-yard dash) to become a top option in an explosive passing game. Unfortunately, he has too many on-field mental lapses to be productive, as Hill doesn't run crisp pass routes or separate himself from a defender to become a viable target downfield. He hasn't caught a pass since the season opener against the Buffalo Bills.
The Jets desperately need a wideout who can make plays, especially after losing Santonio Holmes for the season.
San Diego Chargers, OLB, Melvin Ingram
NFL teams were cautious to draft San Diego Chargers outside linebacker Melvin Ingram in last April's draft because he was considered to be a tweener.
Scouts feel Ingram is too small to be a full-time defensive end in a 4-3 defense and not experienced enough to cover receivers in a 3-4 defense.
In the offseason, the Chargers wanted to upgrade their pass rush, and they selected Ingram hoping he would have an immediate impact on their defense. Unfortunately, Ingram can't supplant veteran Jarret Johnson from the starting lineup.
Yes, Ingram is very athletic, but his pass-rushing skills have been non-existent in the first quarter of the season.
Cincinnati Bengals, CB, Dre Kirkpatrick
It has been a disastrous start to Dre Kirkpatrick's professional career, as he still experiencing tendinitis in his surgically-repaired knee. In fact, Kirkpatrick wasn't cleared to practice with the team until late in training camp.
Bengal fans cannot expect much of an impact from him, as it will take Kirkpatrick the entire season to fully understand the defensive playbook.
The Bengals desperately need him in the lineup; their secondary play has been the weakest link of the team this year.
But first, Kirkpatrick must get healthy and back on the field.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers, RB, Doug Martin
Coming into training camp, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers considered Doug Martin to be one of the best all-purpose backs coming out of college, as he could run, block and catch the football.
The regular season hasn't been kind to Martin, who has shown no explosiveness running into the line of scrimmage. He has trouble breaking tackles and struggles to maintain his block against blitzing defenders on obvious passing downs.
Martin averages 3.5 yards-per-carry, but he has become an after-thought in an already over-crowded backfield. Martin hasn't shown to be the difference-maker the Bucs were expecting when they drafted him in the first-round last April.


The Shelley Memorial Award of the Poetry Society of America, was established by the will of Mary P. Sears, and named after the poet Percy Bysshe Shelley. The prize is given to a living American poet selected with reference to genius and need, and is currently worth (2014) between $6,000 and $9,000. The selection is made by a jury of three poets: one each appointed by the presidents of Radcliffe and Berkeley, and the third by the Board of Governors of the Society.

I have a high end gaming PC, I played Xonotic on max settings in the past with like 200+ FPS. And then randomly one day I start up Xonotic and it is extrememly choppy, almost unplayable. Says constant 160+ FPS on the bottom right, but it is crazy choppy. I have no idea what happened.
Xonotic is the only game this has occurred on. I run other high end games flawlessly. So I know there's something wrong with this specific game.
If this only happens through Steam, what are the differences between running in Steam and running outside of Steam? Is it the same executable being run? Why do you need to run via Steam?


The Jay Haide Modele artistique à l'ancienne family of instruments was developed over many years of collaboration between violin makers Jay Ifshin and Haide Lin, who studied the varnish techniques of master European luthiers.
The distinctive appearance of these instruments is achieved by artful shading and antiquing of the specially formulated varnish to give each instrument the patina of age, so desired by both musicians and connoisseurs.
This Guadagnini model aims to reproduce features and nuances of original models of these instruments, with meticulous attention to scroll and f-hole carving, top and back archings, and wear-patterns of the varnish.
The instruments have a remarkably mature, rich sound for their price range. The Johnson String set-up includes precisely fitted high quality ebony pegs, a select ebony fingerboard planed for proper scoop, a Despiau "Superieur" bridge, your choice of the lightweight Wittner tailpiece with four built-in fine tuners or an ebony tailpiece with the single "E" string tuner, and Dominant A, D and G strings, with a Gold Label E string.

I hope that you are all well.
English is not my first language, sorry for the mispellings!
Have a nice reading :)
Faith was sitting in her bed, looking happy but exhausted. All the tensions due to her pain were gone, though she felt as if she had cross hell. Her breathe was only calming down, and her eyes could tell that she was craving for sleep, but nothing could have erase the smile on her face. Jem was smiling back at her, his right hand keeping Faith close, while he was supporting his daughter with the other arm. Una, who had find refuge in a corner after the birth, eager to give some privacy to the young couple, was looking at the scene with a relieved expression. She would have gladly escape in the kitchen, but Faith's look had been so imploring that the young girl hadn't thought a bit more about leaving her sister.
"Go tell them, I am sure that they're all anxious to hear the news, downstairs" Faith smiled towards Jem.
"I'm going, but I'll leave her here, I'm afraid that if I take her with me, they will all choke her by their excitation, she is safer with you" The young man replied, looking as happy as his young wife, though a bit more anxious. "You're sure you don't want me to stay? Let me check again .."
"Jem, I was a nurse, during the war, remember?" Faith cringed. "Besides, Una is with me, I am safe, and so is our daughter, don't worry".
"Alright, but right after I tell them, we'll check on your pulse" The young man said, before giving her their daughter and kissing his wife forehead. Then, turning to Una : "Are you sure you don't mind ...".
He did not finished his answer, but the young girl understood, and smiled back. Reassured by this silent answer, Jem nodded, and after a last glance towards his wife and daughter, he went out, closing the door behind him. Faith sunk into the pillows, wedged in her back, and sighed deeply as she closed her eyes. Una came closer, before anxiously asking "Do you need something? I can go and ask some water if you like".
Faith opened her eyes and looked at her sister, before smiling and answering "No, don't worry, it's just ... Delivering a baby is not a piece of cake, if you pass me the expression. Please, do sit down, here, on the bed, like when we were children" she added, as her voice broke a bit.
"Faith, is everything alright?" Una asked, sitting as she was told.
"When I lose my waters, I couldn't help but repeat to mysellf 'No, it can't be, please, it can't be, it's too soon', and I was so scared to lose her. But now, now that she is safe, I feel so tired, and still afraid" The young woman whispered. "Don't get me wrong, I am happy, but gosh, Una, I am so scared, I don't even know where to begin".
This confession surprised Una. Even in the hardest moments of her life, even when they thought that the worst had happen to Jem, Faith would never have tell the fear she felt. Even during the birth, Faith was the one who kept making jokes, between two contractions, while Jem would be both anxious and excited, though fully concentrate on the labor. But now, Faith's eyes were full of worries, full of questions, full of fear. Una pressed her sister's hand : "I am sure it will be fine, Faith. You will be a wonderful mother, and .."
"How can I be, when our mother left before I could learn from her? I know we have Rosemary, and I love her, really I do, but it's not the same. Last night, just before I went into labor, I couldn't help but think about her. And I am lost, Una, I don't know where to begin. I know I will give everything to my daughter, but I don't want to be the perfect mother, I know I can't be, you know me ..."
"And that is exactly why I trust you, Faith" Una whispered, keeping her sister's hand in hers. "Don't worry, everything will be alright. You were a kind of mother to Carl and I before, and you did brilliantly. You'll do brilliantly again, Faith, I promise".
Tears were rolling on Faith's cheeks, though she was trying to hide them. Crying never had been her cup of tea, and she hated when her emotions took over. How many times during her pregnancy she had faced those moments. And now it was starting again. She pressed back her sister hand, trying to smile and to recover from this moment. "You are so kind Una. I wouldn't have been able to do it without you". She felt a bit remorseful, remembering Una's scared look when she had asked her to stay during the birth.
"I'm quite sure of the contrary" The young girl blushed, embarrassed. "I wasn't of any help, I only hold your hand, everyone could have done that"
Faith shook her head, smiling. "No Una, you didn't just hold my hand. But if you want to speak about it, only you could be brave enough to bare it, and my screams. Can you imagine Jerry doing it? He would have passed out at the first contraction, even before, and Jem would have been force to reanimate him, and I would have give birth alone, can you imagine the picture?" She said laughing, feeling a bit better, quickly joined by her sister. They suddenly heard some clamor downstairs, and Faith smiled, before turning back to Una : "Do you want to hold her?" Now that her hormones and fear were letting her a bit of rest, she was regaining her old self.
"I'm not sure .." Una replied, feeling her anxiety rising back.
"Don't worry, I'm here, and she don't risk anything, I trust you" Faith said, before giving her the little girl, who had fall asleep. "See? She did not wake up, she feel safe with you".
Una, on her side, was not feeling safe at all, but then, looking at the little girl who was quietly resting, she started to relax. Faith smiled again. "You are wonderful, Una".
"In this case, this apply more to you" Her sister answered. "I am not the one who gave birth, three weeks before term."
Faith said nothing for a moment, looking thoughtfully at her sister and daughter. She was about to say something, something she wanted to discuss with Una, but footsteps echoed in the stairs, and the door was opened by Jem. He was holding a tray, on which Faith saw some flowers, an enormous piece of chocolate cake, and cup of tea. She kept silent, and her attention turned to the scene.
"It's from everybody downstairs, I said that you were fine, but Susan looked in the same way that she did, years ago, when I swore at church, so I choose to surrender and take the cake and the tea. I am sure she could have shoot me if she had been able to, or chase me like she did to Whiskers-on-the-moon. Anyway, they all send their love, and they'll come back tomorrow to see you and the baby" Jem announced, putting it on a table close to the bed. "They wanted to come and greet you today, but I knew you were tired, and I didn't wanted them to frighten her" He added, as Una was giving him his daughter back. "How are you feeling?"
"Better" Was the answer, as the young woman was looking to her sister, knowingly.
If he did not understood what these words and glances were referring to, Jem felt that he had forgotten something and, turning toward his sister in law, he said with a deep gratitude "Una, you were amazing during the birth, really, thank you for everything. You look a bit pale, though, are you feeling alright?"
She nodded, smiling shyly. Her sister did not say anything, but something crossed her mind, and she couldn't help but ask herself what her sister's life would be like if Walter hadn't been killed in action during the war. It was just a thought, but it moved her a bit. She knew her sister, and she knew that she was still grieving this loss, years after. On impulse, she pressed her sister's hand again, like when they were children and Faith wanted to comfort her sister after a bad dream, or a bad day. Una recognized this way, and looked a bit surprised, but she did not moved her hand. Jem, occupied to examine his daughter's health, did not remarked anything.
It was nothing, really, but on that moment, Faith promised to herself that, in one way or another, she would help her sister to come back to life. She just needed time to find a solution. Jem's voice interrupted her thoughts, causing her to burst out of laughter : "Faith, I really need to check your pulse, you know it's important. Why are you laughing, it's serious, Faith! Come on, give me your wrist".
Thank you for reading, please, let me know what you think about it :)
And take care of yourself!
Have a nice day/night :)

Ashton Chandler (art:i:curate): To those unfamiliar with Romanian contemporary art scene, can you describe it in a few sentences?
Simona Nastac: Romanian history and culture are defined by alternating interruptions and paradoxes. As historian Lucian Boia stressed in his controversial book Why Is Romania Different?, certain developments have never been realized, and since they have been frequently disrupted, this lack of cohesion has become the pattern of progression that led society to a chronic difficulty in fixing its identity and envisioning a future for itself. The contemporary art scene follows the same pattern, producing its own versatile history against the rapidly changing local landscape: artists act as managers who set up institutions and networks, as archivists of their own and other artists' projects, or as curators researching their context and establishing frameworks for diverse collective and personal narratives. More often than not they arrive at poetics via politics, putting their creativity at stake to generate new ways of representation and new modes of distributing the sensible. In so doing, they have shaped a resourceful scene that is inherently critical, engaged and suspicious of formulas and utopias, continuously re-inventing itself. To use Jean-Luc Nancy's household terms, I would say it is an inoperative community defined by the political nature of its resistance against ingrained power.
AC: Which particular artists exemplify Romanian contemporary art? Can you tell us about their work and how they are perceived internationally?
SN: The list may be surprisingly long, but I will select a few names that are recognised internationally.
Lia and Dan Perjovschi's distinct and highly personal approaches to art are deeply rooted in what Boris Groys named 'a life-in-the-project or a lifetime performance'. They began making art during the Communist era, and after 1989 have turned their art into a tool for recording history and for social critique. Dan creates 'temporary drawings made with permanent markers' that mix satire and comment on current political, social and cultural issues. Lia's installations, combining images, texts and objects, map vital notions of our existence – time, place, geopolitics, resistance, authority and hierarchy – reflecting on the incoherent nature of history and on the tension between life and documentation. Last year, the artists became recipients of the ECF Princess Margriet Award for the active role that their art has played in Romanian culture since the late 1980s.
Mircea Cantor is well-known for his minimal, poetical and metaphysical works that attempt to reflect and examine the modern world and its human contradictions. His work has been compared to that of Duchamp in his use of the readymade to expose the polysemantic nature of everyday objects. At the same time, Cantor shows an acute socio-political insight, with video works like Deeparture, I Decided Not To Save the World or The Landscape is Changing expressing finely tuned responsiveness to the most violent realities in today's changing world. The artist was awarded the prestigious Marcel Duchamp Prize in 2011.
Another key figure is Matei Bejenaru, who established the Periferic Biennial in Iasi in 1997. Drawing on his own experience of postcommunist transition, he examines how socio-political contexts inform everyday life and condition artistic practice. In 2007 he staged a public choreography of over 200 fellow nationals on the esplanade of Tate Modern, whilst his Travelling Guide for Romanians seeking to enter the UK illegally was presented at Level 2 Gallery. Songs for a Better Future, a modernist interpretation of proletarian choir music developed together with Will Dutta, premiered at the Drawing Room and Tate Modern in London in 2010 and last year Bejenaru became Kettle's Yard Associate Artist with the project On Beauty: Building a Darkroom.
Historical events, post-communism, religion and art history are Ciprian Muresan's means of questioning social mechanisms and the construction of individuality. Critical and iconoclastic, his video works, drawings and sculptures reflect a subterranean sense of disillusionment with Romanian society, its myths and archaic rituals, ironically balanced by the blind enthusiasm for imported forms without content. Monks is a video that caricatures copying Western art in schools, whilst Choose and Santa Claus speak about the clash between the old and the new and the confusion it creates at all levels of society. Muresan's work has been widely exhibited at New York's New Museum, Tate Modern and San Francisco's Museum of Modern Art amongst others.
Mona and Florin Vatamanu are seen as some of the most compelling interpreters of the post-communist condition, with a broad practice including film, photography, painting, performance and site-specific projects. Their works bring history into the present tense through performative re-enactment and symbolic repossession, as in Das Kapital, Vacaresti, and Dust, or reference architecture as a repository of both personal and collective memory as in Persepolis, The Trial, The Palace and Rosa Luxemburg Square. Vatamanu and Tudor have exhibited at ICA London, Institute for Contemporary Art Berlin, Kadist Art Foundation Paris, BAK Utrecht and Stroom Den Haag, The Hague among others.
Pavel Braila received international acclaim with his film Shoes for Europe, presented at documenta 11. The film shows in real-time the painstaking process of changing the Russian wheel gauges still used on Moldovan trains at the border with Romania. Another infamous work is the large-scale installation Barons' Hill that documents the homes of the leaders of the Roma in the city of Soroca, elaborate architectural fantasies that are widely present in Romania as well. The artist was born in Chisinau, Moldova, where he still resides, a small country located between Romania and Ukraine, which was part of Greater Romania during the interwar period. Last year he was awarded the Celeste Prize for video in Rome.
Of course, this is a subjective and brief selection, but there are many other influential artists who are shaping the scene, such as Adrian Ghenie, Victor Man, Serban Savu and Marius Bercea from the so-called 'Cluj school of painting', Anca Benera & Arnold Estefan, The Bureau of Melodramatic Research, Apparatus 22, Daniel Knorr, Stefan Constantinescu, Dan Acostioaei, Irina Botea, Vlad Nanca, Mircea Nicolae, Manuel Pelmus and Alexandra Pirici, etc.
AC: Can you explain the dynamic of the UAP (Artists' Union), the public institutions, and private initiatives which structure art in Romania today?
SN: Founded in 1950, UAP has branches and owns galleries throughout Romania. It is still a powerful professional body, but it needs fresh approaches and leaders in order to play the sophisticated game of contemporary art. Private initiatives are far better equipped to create critical discourse and portfolios of artists that can thrive in the current financial context. The Paintbrush Factory in Cluj, tranzit.ro in Bucharest, Iasi, Cluj and Sibiu, Club Electroputere in Craiova and Bucharest and Pavilion Unicredit are the most active, to name just a few. However, the state support for their programmes is minimal or non-existent and they may disappear anytime, as other key players did, such as Galeria Noua and The Centre for Visual Introspection in Bucharest. The Museum of Contemporary Art in Bucharest does not have enough funding either and it is quite a miracle that contemporary art is still being created when there is very little public or private money invested in research, production, management, outreach and development. These institutions map a quite a generous and vibrant territory, but they do not seem to have sufficient capacity to generate new ones.
AC: You previously curated a show called 'Romanian Pavilion' at the HotShoe that provided insight into the changes that occurred in Romania under communist president Nicolae Ceausescu. Can you explain that exhibition more in depth and tell us how you would curate an exhibition based on Romania's current political status?
SN: The exhibition brought together five video artists interested in Ceausescu's failed utopian social experiments and subsequent dehumanizing conditions, with an emphasis on built environment and private life. Modernist social housing was applied widely in Eastern Europe in the 1960s, with the totalitarian regimes building new cities for the 'new man' and (dis)placing people in flats that resembled prison blocks. The profoundly alienating consequences of this tabula rasa of the past have become evident after the 1990s, alongside the emergence of capitalism. The exhibition examined how video art reflects and manipulates private and collective recollection of these radical changes, offering at the same time an insight into how this reality portrayed facets of the medium. The exhibition was accompanied by a publication featuring interviews with the five exhibiting artists Dan Acostioaei, Sebastian Moldovan, Joanne Richardson, Mona Vatamanu and Florin Tudor. As for a new project based on Romania's current political status, I think that a revolutionary performance would be the most fitting approach.
AC: Can you describe the market for Romanian contemporary art right now? How does the Romanian contemporary art scene continue to evolve politically and culturally?
SN: Romanian art is doing fairly well on the international market and poorly at home. A just balance between the two would be ideal.

Despite being a feat seldom achieved by African contestants, given the various circumstances that hinder third world countries it's not entirely unheard since many a black girl have gone on to claim pageant titles around the world.
The re-vamp and re-direction of the Miss Uganda competitions caused quite a stir earlier this year as new figures such as Zari Hassan and Fabiola were enlisted, as well as the judges who mainly comprised of former Miss Uganda winners. The show also came under heavy scrutiny from the public when a video surfaced online depicting the judges berating the contestants.
Nonetheless, it seems former queens who also served as judges knew what they were doing and may have been able to unlock the true secret to being the world's best beauty pageant queen contrary to what critics had to say. "Quinn is a very passionate young lady. She will do extremely well. My team and I wish her nothing but the best." said Stella Nantumbwe, a judge and former Miss Uganda 2013.
"There is a certain story of a Daisy. Daisy was molested by her father at 12 years old. The father passed away and she had to go live with her grandfather, and the grandfather did the same thing. Now this girl gave birth – imagine giving birth to your grandfather's child! And this is happening a lot in Uganda," said the Ugandan representative, who managed to deliver her oratory under two minutes-the time allocated to each contestant to talk to the audience on the issues raised.
The last time a Ugandan made it beyond the first round in The Miss World contest was in 2001 when the title holder, Miss Victoria Nabunya made it to the semi-finals with 19 other girls out of 96 contestants. Miss Abenakyo's progress in securing a place among the 30 finalists at the pageant was a win for all Ugandans but most especially for those behind the annual Miss Uganda competitions.


1 What is Diving Experience?
We often hear the term 'experienced diver'. What does this actually mean?
Some people consider experience based on the number of dives in a log book. For others, it is the number and level of certification cards held. It might be defined by the challenge of the dives previously undertaken; the depth, the conditions, the equipment used. It could the relevance of prior dives in relation to the current dive.
Experience and training matter. After all, from our earliest encounter with scuba diving training, we are told: "dive within the limits of your training and experience".
It's much harder to define what experience we need to safely undertake a given dive.
What matters is the balance between training and experience. An imbalance between the two invariably creates weaknesses.
Too much of one and too little of the other often empowers inflated-confidence.
Whilst divers do vary in their individual capacity to learn and ingrain skills, for each diver, there is probably some unique 'golden ratio' between skill acquisition and skill application dives.
The learning really does only start once training finishes.
Too many certification cards and too little time underwater may be a significant predictor of unreliable skills. The individual has continually sought new skills but under-estimated the need to ingrain existing skills to an intuitive and autonomic function before progressing to new skills.
Too much time underwater and too little training can be indicative of a complacent attitude. This is primarily true when diving beyond the level of training, on the assumption that experience alone is sufficient.
The pace of experience development is less critical than getting the balance right. That, however, assumes that low-frequency diving is offset by conducting the necessary practice to prevent skill-fade.
Skills that aren't used will fade. Long abstentions from diving decrease skill performance drastically. The same is true of specific skills. Many diving skills are used on each dive; i.e. buoyancy control, awareness, basic equipment operation etc. But some skills are only used on rare occasions; i.e. air-sharing, freeflow regulator breathing, CESA, raising an incapacitated diver, rescue breathing etc.
An active diver might be actively gaining experience with routine diving skills, but diminishing their experience with contingency skills.
Do I need to make a case for the need to routinely practice those skills that aren't used frequently?
The concept of gaining "diving experience" is really very vague.
1. In-water time allowing repeated application of core skills learnt in formal training (ingraining).
2. In-water time allowing repeated application of contingency skills learnt in formal training (refreshing).
3. In-water time allowing development of more intuitive/instinctive equipment and protocol use (familiarizing).
A singular dive can contain greater, or lesser, elements of the above facets.
What we cannot do is effectively replicate the physical and psychological learning that occurs when emergencies and failures happen. Whilst 'scenarios' can be simulated in training, they never accurately reflect what we would learn in a real-life situation.
Given the infrequent and random occurrence of real-life emergencies, we do need to conduct a volume of diving to ensure that we have the opportunity to learn from our mistakes and from incidents that happen beyond our control.
Whilst we can say that experience acquisition is dependent on both the quality and number of dives conducted by an individual. How can we define quality experience? As we've seen, a singular dive might offer a quality experience in one aspect, but not necessarily in others.
A diver who practices in the pool every week might develop well in #1-3, but have little development of #4.
A diver who goes out and does infrequent challenging dives, but never does dedicated practice dives might develop #4, but have underlying weakness in #1-3.
A diver who focuses on #1, but ignores #2 will look good on routine dives, but expose significant weakness when emergencies occur.
Spending 6 hours in shallow water repeating skills?
Spending 120 minutes on a deep/hypoxic trimix dive?
Diving 2x a month on deep offshore wrecks?
Diving 8x a month in a quarry?
Neither example is 'right' or a 'wrong'. Either develop 'experience'. What we see is a bias in the facet of experienced being developed.
The term we look for is a 'well-rounded' experienced diver. A diver who commits to developing all of the experience facets needed to improve themselves.
Someone can only assess experience based on their own personal perspectives. Those perspectives are shaped by your individual experience, your learning capability, your diving history. It is very relative to the individual.
It's easier to gauge relative experience in a diver with less experience than yourself. However, relative comparisons against divers of equal or greater experience are problematic. This is a root factor identified in studies to support the 'Dunning-Kruger' effect.
Here is where the value of experienced instructors and mentors becomes realized. Instructors, in particular, are in a position to observe a myriad of student divers and learn more about the spectrum of competencies and capabilities. With experience, they can develop certain baselines and evaluations that can be extrapolated from one diver to another. This, of course, assumes that the instructor concerned also has personal expertise in the level of diving considered.
Stress presents when a diver cannot see a resolution to a harmful situation.
Panic presents when a diver accepts they are 'powerless' to save themselves.
This is true from an open water student to an elite cave explorer. What differs is the individual capacity to identify resolutions and/or the timescale before an individual accepts they are 'powerless' in a given situation.
Psychological Robustness. How quickly an individual 'gives up the fight'. A very complex component which involves both nature and nurture factors.
Experiential Reassurance. Have they solved the problem before, or can extrapolate a solution from past experience.
Training Reaction. Will/can they apply a corrective solution based upon the correct ingrained responses to given stimuli?
Psychological experience is perhaps the hardest element to assess. It's very hard to predict how an individual will respond to an emergency without having tested them.
In recreational scuba training, that testing is generally not advocated. If performed, it tends to be very artificial, carefully regulated and limited in scope. How comfortable is someone removing their mask? That's about the limit of it.
As training progresses to higher levels, like technical and cave diving, there is more tacit acceptance that psychological testing becomes important. Training drills and scenarios become more demanding and scary (albeit carefully controlled). Courses can be failed if student divers can't demonstrate a capacity for stress management. This remains, however, mostly limited to experiential reassurance and training reaction.
To test psychological robustness is beyond the scope of either recreational or technical diving training. This is the preserve of military diving, where gruelling evaluation selects only the minority with 'the right stuff'. It's simply an extrapolation, whereby those who don't give up under physical stress are expected to not give up when subjected to other forms of stress.


Time is a funny thing. It moves at a snail's pace when you're being paid by someone else to spend your time on their work, but it moves quickly when it's your time. What is the line from that song—days are long but years are short.
Minutes can be an eternity or a blink of an eye, too. It all depends on where you are in relation to the alarm.
For me, an hour close to the alarm sounding is napping with one eye open. I'm sure the alarm won't sound and I'll sleep through it, making me late for work. That did happen once. Only because the power went out and we don't rely on our phones to wake us up.
To make matters worse, I wake up at the same time whether or not I work that day. Without an alarm. It's my routine.
I just wish I could sleep through those slivers of time and actually be awoken by the alarm clock.
Ah, well. Maybe when I retire. Although I have it on good authority it takes years to break the routine.

That is why we retired people need a nap in the middle of the day. We wake two to three times in the night for various reasons, sometimes laying awake trying to figure out what woke us up, was it a sound, or my spouse making a noise, is he or she alright. So we get up to check and then we are awake for another hour or so.

Q: CMake find_library matching behavior? One specifies find_library(<var> name PATHS path1..pathn)
My question is how does find_library() match name to the library file (on Windows and Linux)?
For example, I am unable to have find_library() identify the MagicK and MagicK++ DLL files in the provided Windows binary installation of GraphicsMagicK:
The files is: CORE_RL_magick_.dll
Searching for the queries: magick or CORE_RL_magick does not work.

A: You might want to take a look at this documentation links:
http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/v2.8.10/cmake.html#command:find_library
http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/v2.8.10/cmake.html#variable:CMAKE_FIND_LIBRARY_PREFIXES
http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/v2.8.10/cmake.html#variable:CMAKE_FIND_LIBRARY_SUFFIXES
find_library may accept one or more library names. Those names get the value of CMAKE_FIND_LIBRARY_PREFIXES prepended and CMAKE_FIND_LIBRARY_SUFFIXES
 appended. This two variables should be set for each OS depending on how the librares are prefixed or suffixed there.
In your case I'd write for Windows
SET(CMAKE_FIND_LIBRARY_PREFIXES "")
SET(CMAKE_FIND_LIBRARY_SUFFIXES ".lib" ".dll")

and for Linux
SET(CMAKE_FIND_LIBRARY_PREFIXES "lib")
SET(CMAKE_FIND_LIBRARY_SUFFIXES ".so" ".a")

and then write
find_library(
    magick
    CORE_RL_magick_ (or NAMES if there are multiple names for the same library on different systems)

    PATHS
      path1
      path2
    ...
    (other options that are specified in documentation and would be usefull to you)
)

EDIT:
CMAKE_FIND_LIBRARY_PREFIXES and CMAKE_FIND_LIBRARY_SUFIXES are set automatically by project() command so calling it first and find_library() after that point is a better solution than setting the variables manually.

A: Why not use find_file() instead of find_library() if you want to find a .dll.

25 AUGUST 2011: WARNING "VERY IMPORTANT" Before submit an iPhone IMEI for Telenor Norway you need to be 100% SURE the phone is locked from Telenor. (and not another network, country). Why ? Because even if it's unfair the supplier will charge us (and we will charge you) even for Not Found in case of "Wrong Network" !!! The good news is you can always check with "iPhone Network Finder" what's the real name and country of the original network provider of your iPhone before order. If you're not sure, then use Network Finder to be sure because if you enter wrong "YOU WILL PAY THE FULL PRICE FOR HAVING NO RESULT AND YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO COMPLAINT ABOUT IT AS WE WRITE THIS ALERT"


The Oregon Supreme court engages with the citizens of the state of Oregon in many way to make the appellate process more relevant and meaningful to Oregonians. Part of that outreach includes hearing oral arguments in various high school and universities throughout the state. We are very excited that on September 13, at St. Mary's Academy, Presiding Judge Timothy Sercombe will preside over the panel hearing oral arguments. Justice W. Michael Gillette will visit classes prior to September 13 to preview the cases with students. We are grateful to Kent Roberts, Chairman of our Board of Directors, who was instrumental in bringing this opportunity to St. Mary's Academy.


What's happening with Bonnet Hill?
An update on the slow construction progress of the Channel Highway Safety Lane.
After years of lobbying, a petition by road users wanting uphill Safety Lanes resulted in 6000 signatures. The project started in 2013, with an initial 700 meters constructed from Browns River Bridge to the intersection of the Channel Highway and Proctors Road. A further 1.9 kms was completed in 2015/2016.
Work will start soon on constructing only 800 meters of the Channel Highway Safety Lane in 2016/2017. This leaves 1.5km to be constructed in 2018/2019. Six years to construct a 1.5 meter wide Safety Lane puts a new meaning to "things move slowly in Tasmania"!
The frustration of vehicle owners, whether cars, buses or trucks, regularly queueing up behind cyclists on the uphill grades, has resulted in many near misses when impatient drivers pull out over the double white lines. The real danger lies with cyclists competing with vehicles at the end of each safety lane section - there have been many near misses with cyclists taking evasive action onto the narrow verges.
Having to wait another two years for completion, particularly with the Hobart City Council finishing the Hobart to Taroona cycle lane by June 2017, is only going to increase bicycle volumes. Currently there is an average of 1800 cyclists using the Channel Highway weekly, and this is sure to increase with the completion of the HCC cycle lane. To entice people to "get on your bike" for getting to work or for pleasure particularly along the scenic Bonnet Hill safety lanes makes it imperative this project is completed by the end of 2017.
It's not in construction terms a large project by any stretch of imagination, remembering the base design was completed in 2009 and the same design engineering company is still involved in the current work, so any design or geotechnical issues should well and truly be resolved.
What's happening with the Bonnet Hill safety lanes? All road users are getting frustrated with the slow progress.


Harm and abuse comes in different forms. They include neglect, physical abuse, emotional abuse (including bullying), sexual abuse, and cyber abuse.
Physical abuse is the intentional or careless causing of physical harm. It can include punching, beating, shaking, biting, burning or otherwise physically hurting a child.
Emotional abuse involves continuing behaviour by adults towards children and between children. It can include verbal attacks, threats, rejection, isolation, belittling or name calling which erodes social competence or self-esteem over time. Exposure to chaotic, controlling or violent environments (including family violence) is also an indicator of emotional abuse.
Neglect is the failure to provide for a child's basic needs for food, shelter, supervision and physical and emotional care. This lack of care can negatively impact upon a child's overall development.
Sexual abuse occurs when someone uses their power, force or authority to involve a child in sexual activity. There are many forms of child sexual abuse. For more information see Child Wise, Wise Up To Sexual Abuse.
Cyber abuse is the use of cell phones, messaging, e-mail, social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter to harass, threaten or intimidate a child.

Bruce Bartlett explains why it's so difficult to balance the budget and why spending cuts alone can't accomplish the goal. The problem is entitlement spending – and both parties are to blame for not fixing the problem. It seems it won't get easier either as the population continues to age.
This means that it is impossible to get control of spending without cutting entitlement programs. Many Republicans agree, but they never make any serious effort to do so. On the contrary, they defend entitlements when Democrats suggest cutting them.
For the record I would want to cut most of those things from the federal budget but he begins his piece reminding us that we live in a democracy. Clearly it would be politically impossible to cut ALL or even most of those programs. This just continues to remind me of how many problems like this are caused by having expanded the power of Congress beyond (what I think was) the Constitution's original intent.


Although journalism was always a loose extension of establishment power, something has changed in recent years. Dissent tolerated when I joined a national newspaper in Britain in the 1960s has regressed to a metaphoric underground as liberal capitalism moves towards a form of corporate dictatorship.
This is a seismic shift, with journalists policing the new "groupthink", as Parry called it, dispensing its myths and distractions, pursuing its enemies.
One of the most telling chapters in Propaganda Blitzdescribes the smear campaigns mounted by journalists against dissenters, political mavericks and whistleblowers.
The Guardian's campaign against the WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange is the most disturbing. Assange, whose epic WikiLeaks disclosures brought fame, journalism prizes and largesse to The Guardian, was abandoned when he was no longer useful. He was then subjected to a vituperative – and cowardly — onslaught of a kind I have rarely known.

Q: Where does Windows 7 store documents saved in the temporary profile? I'm asking on behalf of a friend of mine.
Here's the situation:
My friend logged onto a Windows 7 install and ended up logging onto a temporary profile (he made it so it does this intentionally).  He used that Win7 install to attempt to move some files from an external hard drive to his Win7 install, however he forgot that he was using a temp profile.  He went to shut down, but in the middle of the shut down process realized that the documents he copied over to the profile on that Win7 install will be zapped once the shutdown was complete.  He let the shutdown go since he didn't want to jeopardize anything further.
He wants to know where this temporary profile is stored.  He's running a deletion recovery program and has not restarted into that Windows 7 install with the temp profile in case he ends up overwriting something, but he'd prefer to direct the program at a particular directory if possible.
Is this temporary profile stored in C:\Users or are the contents of the profile stored elsewhere?
Edit: To clarify, we know that the contents of the temp profile were deleted, but we want to know where the profile originally was so we can point our file deletion recovery program at it.

A: My Documents is a special folder, %userProfile%\Documents by default. It would be saved there if not redirected by some other method.
The profile TEMP that is created on logon disappears on logoff... But, you can try this:
http://community.spiceworks.com/topic/105605-recover-data-from-temp-profile

After logging in as administrator.
      Right click the folder, properties, security, advanced button, owner tab,
      select your  admin account your logged in as, Check Replace owner ..., and ok
      out of there.

Now you can change the security settings to include your admin account.

My guess is that will not work, and you could try using Recuva at C:\Users and see if it sees the C:\Users\TEMP directory.

A: The temporary profile's root folder is usually C:\Users\Temp, and it's deleted when the user logs off.

Home Entertainment Virgin River Season 4 is Official: Release Date and Plot Update
Virgin River Season 4 is Official: Release Date and Plot Update
Netflix will continue to offer Virgin River, the successful third season of the popular drama that premiered earlier this year and was renewed for two more seasons by the streaming behemoth. It's expected that Netflix will add the remaining eight episodes of "Virgin River" in the not-too-distant future.
After the third season raised more questions than it answered, perhaps season four will provide some much-needed finality when the show returns for its fourth season.
Season 3 showcased a fire, a hurricane, a burial, a blossoming relationship, and of course a divorce. Alexandra Breckenridge (Mel) is expecting a baby at the end of the series, but she has no idea who the father is! That's a bummer!
What Is the Release Date for Season 4 of The Real Housewives of Orange County?
The announcement was made following the third season's stunning record-breaking achievements. Unfortunately, there is no information on when the next seasons will be published. The next season of the hit series is due to premiere in July 2020.
Virgin River plot? What's the show about?
Mel Monroe, a midwife from the tiny California town of Virgin River, begins her love affair with Nick Carpenter in response to an ad for a midwife in Virgin River. Even though Mel believed Virgin River to be a location where she could let go of her past and move on, it turns out to be a fantastic place for her to unwind and discover a new love.
1. What's a "plot" in the world of The Virgin River Season 3 TV series? What really happened?
During the series' final moments, as Jack and Mel are together in peace for the last time, jack raises a significant issue in a rather dramatic way. Jack got down on one knee and asked Mel to marry him.
No! No! You might be wondering, "Is there any more of this narrative?" The answer is that the account continues. Jack continued that I'm scared of being alone and want to know if it's better to be unhappy or dead. They were more than friends, they were family. This is fantastic news for Jack, but it's not so good for Mel. She doesn't know who the father is, and if he's the one. Because of God Dammit! !, we didn't get to see Jack's reaction following the huge reveal. credits roll. It's probable that Mel didn't inform Jack about utilizing her late husband Mark's frozen embryos.
After returning to the Virgin River from South Carolina, Hope travels back to Las Vegas. However, she is caught up in a vehicle accident on her way to the funeral, leaving us with questions about her fate.
