BREATH & SHADOW
"Steps"
Erin Lauridsen
The dance floor is alive and I am dazed. The music is loud enough to block out the subtle sounds that usually give shape to space, turning everyone into an amorphous and shifting landscape doused in bad eighties pop music. "This is great!" my three friends say, trying to describe the aged and the eccentric, the hip young graduate students next to the vintage novelists. We are undergraduates at a large industry conference for writers and we have been waiting all week to attend this party, speculating what might happen when the bitter rejected writers and the overworked and jaded publishers at this conference consume a few drinks. We were hoping for a brawl to break out over the role of reader response theory in graduate schools. What we find instead is the atmosphere of a high school dance with the enhancement of booze and a diverse crowd. Our voices are shoved back by all the sound. "Let's dance," they say. I fold up my white cane and am pulled onto the dance floor.
Dancing is an art of vision, of being able to express the mood and rhythm of music with the movements of your body. It is an art I have never mastered. I am weighted. I shift from foot to foot, move my hands a little. I know the rules for this space, observe my friends when they are impressed by an agile body claiming the floor with its moves or when they share space with another dancer, a visual exchange of attraction. It's too loud to tell who's where, so I take up as little space as possible. I can't derive the actual movements from the second hand descriptions of dancing I've been given so I minimize my movement to try to hide what I do not know. I am a solid among fluid bodies.
An eighty year old English professor has asked for Ray Charles and that sliding blues sound takes over the dance floor. I like this song, but I am stuck. Its rhythm says sex and circles, but I sway just a little while cycling my hands back and forth in my one dance move. This does not serve me well. My friend catches my hands, and I can feel that she is moving fast and with purpose. I try to copy her back and forth step. I want to bolt for the door, feeling as exposed as an adolescent by the wall during a slow dance. That's not a good feeling since I was most often just such an adolescent.
But on one January night of the late nineties, I danced like I had nothing to lose. Really, there wasn't much I could have lost.
My best friend and I had endured four intense days of seeing just where we didn't fit into the adolescent puzzle. This camp was supposed to be about building friendships between cultures. The Australian who exaggerated his accent to sound like Crocodile Dundee, the Spanish speakers from Peru who hovered shy and silent, and the loud girl from Dallas Texas who insisted she always had to sing along with the music in her headphones, all seemed to find more commonality than the two of us with long sticks and nonfunctioning eyes. We'd tried our best, rooming in separate cabins and striking up conversations with the other teens. But in the end, everything came down to a pat on the shoulder and being quickly herded back to the other of our kind.
Every 'in' group needs a fringe, and we were it. This was not a new experience, more like the essence of our entire adolescence, in four bitter days. We had spiraled from optimistic to hurt to angry to indifferent. Now it was the last night of Lion's Winter Camp, and there was nothing left to lose. We'd already heard the boys we liked kissing the girls we weren't through the cabin walls. We'd been politely situated in enough chairs outside of circles, enough tables to ourselves at breakfast and lunch to have any remaining delusions.
So as the music started, we began to dance, with each other sometimes, but mostly alone. To the beat of teeny-bopper tunes and grunge rock, we filled the empty space we'd been given. I jumped back and forth like a child, swinging my arms, waving my hands in the air. I screamed the edited swear words back into the songs, trying to resuscitate the teen aged rebellion that had faded inside me. It worked. This was my space. I would never see these people again. I didn't give a damn how ridiculous I appeared so with every leap and spin, I pushed them away. Somewhere in the fog of noise, they danced too, together, keeping the distance I gave them.
Tonight I can't dance like that because it is unity I want. The song switches back to the music that was made for dances like this and I sway, blank faced. Then one of my three friends grabs my hand and holds it up and out to the side, leading me along. "We're tangoing, sort of," she yells above the pulse.
"You can't tango to this," I answer, and I hear my other friend laugh. My face comes back to life in a smile, and for a moment, it doesn't matter that I can't figure out how to dance. It is enough to be pulled into the circle and heard, even in all this noise. Soon my friends have danced enough and I welcome the cold night air. The world resumes its normal shape, walls and traffic, our feet in step on the pavement.

Fairies, Fantasy, and Family Fun! That is what you will find at Moonlight and Magic in Minnesota on Saturday, April 21st, 2012. Moonlight and Magic is a holistic health, psychic and music festival being presented by one of Best American Psychics' very own.

Leigh has invited many well respected spiritual teachers, including two of her Best American Psychics colleagues. Maggie Chula will be presenting "Meeting Your Guide". This workshop will include a guided meditation that will assist you in reaching a proper state of mind, connecting with your guide, and learning how to ask and receive information. Jeanne Crescenzo's class, entitled "Introduction to Galactic Remembrance", covers connecting to your cosmic origins. So anyone that feels a "special" connection to the stars won't want to miss this one. Attendees can look forward to learning about power animals, shadow animals, animal spirit guides, and animal totems from two different teachers.

Several interesting psychics and intuitives will be on hand to give psychic readings. Leigh's effort to cater to all tastes is apparent, as her readers range from astrologers, mediums, and psychics to tarot readers and a faeriologist. There truly is something for everyone! Speaking of mediums, three of the best mediums from the Twin Cities will join the panel: Michael Mapes, Jeanne Crescenzo and Amy Purdes. The event also includes "Let Their Voice Be Heard, A Medium Gathering." This is just another of the special options available to attendees.
Those in the mood for a little shopping action won't be disappointed by the vendors offering their products and services. Jewelry, crystals, stones, and natural soaps are a few examples of merchandise available. Holistic health practitioners will be more than happy to share about their particular modality for those seeking alternative and complementary approaches to health. Moonlight and Magic guarantees a chance to open the mind and raise the vibration. With choices like psychic cooking and green space design, it has to be a good bet for a great day!
And, if that weren't enough, live music will be provided by Hanakia Zedek. Then, from 5:15 to 6:45 PM award winning singer/songwriter Gina Citoli will be presenting "A Cabaret of Consciousness". This lady has performed to standing ovations and rave reviews from New York's Battery Park. She promises to bring a message, give everyone something to think about, and entertain!

In a small Ugandan village, Kato wakes early to start the long, barefoot trek beyond his village and along fields dotted with cattle and guarded by soldiers. His destination is the village well, where he will pump a day's supply of water into two jerry cans. Like every day, Kato lets the water splash over his hot, tired feet before carrying his heavy load back home, where his chores await him. But this is no ordinary day. The aid-worker's truck has come to the village square, and in the back is a gift so special, the little boy rushes home to look for something to repay the aid-worker. Alma Fullerton's spare, lilting prose tells a deceptively simple story of one day in a little boy's life. But as Karen Patkau's striking illustrations reveal, in a place ravaged by a generation of civil war and drought, a village well brings life, a gift of shoes is a cause for celebration, and a simple flower becomes an eloquent symbol of peace and gratitude.


I decided to divide Valencia into two parts because it might end up being too long as one blog post.
Sunday was beach time and I honestly cannot remember the last time I went to beach. Oh it felt so good just breathing in the fresh air of the water and the sand underneath my feet. It was a good day to go out because it was not too hot. We all sat down on the sand and soaked up the sun.
It was time for lunch and I heard Valencia has the best paella, which I have tried and tested. I have had paella before and I did not like it. But the Valencia paella absolutely changed my mind. It reminded me of one of my favorite African dishes, jollies rice. It is rice in a sauce, that tastes like tomato sauce. It was just freshly made and the seasoning was so tasty. The Valencia paella I had, had chicken and rabbit I believe and it comes in the pan it was cooked in. I have to say so far this is the best meal I have had. If you find yourself in Valencia you have to get the paella.
← Falling in love with Valencia!

DRs ensure we're Ghana have goals
Posted on January 20, 2013 by James in Africa Cup of Nations 2013 // 0 Comments
by Alex Queiros and James Bennett GHANA VS DR CONGO For the first time in AFCON history, the first two matches were goalless draws. Adding to that, the matches were dismal, which meant that hopes were really high on the first of Sunday's matches, Ghana vs DR Congo. Both teams are known for their offensive capabilities, with goalscoring superstars spread around Africa and the rest of the world, and thankfully we were blessed with goals aplenty in this match. They huffed and puffed until the ball went in The first half was lively, with both teams creating chances. The first real opportunity came from Lomana LuaLua, who fired a shot at goal, which was saved by Fatau Dauda and scraped the crossbar. DR Congo then began controlling the match and making the best of Ghana's leaky defense, Trésor Mputu had a shot goal over the bar in another clearcut opportunity. Against the run of play, Ghana tried to fight back with Albert Adomah taking a shot which didn't bother Kidiaba. At the 28th minute mark, Asamoah Gyan had the best chance of the match until that point. After a beautiful, defense ripping pass from Derek Boateng, Gyan found himself one on one with Kidiaba, only to take a weak shot which trickled wide of the goal. It was Gyan however that began the play that would open the scoreline in this match and indeed, the whole AFCON. A brilliant one-two move with left back Kwandwo Asamoah, who was unselfish and squared it to Emmanuel Agyemang-Badu, who just had to tap it in and give Ghana the lead at half-time.
Easier said than done
The second half began as exciting, if not more, than the first, with Adomah forcing Kidiaba to a save just a couple of minutes in. At the 49th, Wakaso Mubarak with a corner and Kwadwo Asamoah with a strong downward header at the far post beat the Congolese keeper to make it 2-0 and secure some security for Ghana, or so they thought.
Just four minutes later, a superb play from Cédric Makiadi, who gives the ball to skipper Trésor Mputu and with a classy finish gives DR Congo its first goal in an AFCON since 2006 and relaunches the match.
Ghana's defense reacted badly to the goal, showing weaknesses once more on a couple of occasions, culminating with Jerry Akaminko tugging the shirt of Dieumerci Mbokani and referee Daniel Bennett signalling for a penalty. Mbokani himself converted the kick, igniting the Congolese fans' spirits and giving Kidiaba an excuse to make his famous bottom-bouncing celebration.
Afterwards, the game became open, with both keepers having to work hard to keep the score equalized. DR Congo had a couple of scares near the end of the match, first with Kidiaba landing awkwardly after a brilliant save from a freekick, a consequence of his bad positioning, and in the final minute of the game, Gyan had a brilliant header, saved by DR Congo's Mr.T just before it crossed the line.
Man of the match: Trésor Mputu
The 27-year-old TP Mazembe man showed why he is one of Africa's best players, commanding DR Congo's offensive manoeuvres and demonstrating exactly why the Leopards are the dark horses of this competition, culminating in a wonderfully executed goal.
Video Highlight
MALI VS NIGER
It's fair to say that this wasn't the glamour tie of the day. Much of the talk before and during the game centred around which versions of the names of the Nigerien players was acceptable (Wikipedia won for this report) rather than the action. But eventually after a(nother) staccato start, it developed into a tense conclusion, both sides have good chances to win it. Inevitably, it was the best player on the pitch who decided his side's opener once again.
A slow start
The opening exchanges in the first half were as expected. Mali, whose attack was led by Bordeaux's Cheick Diabate and supported by the two Diarras on the flanks (Sigamary on the right and Cheick Fantamady on the left), looked the more dangerous. Niger banked on counter-attacking, and did get the occasional chance. But it looked more likely that a goal would come from a goalkeeping error, as both Niger's Kassaly Daouda and Mali's Mamadou Samassa optimistically lunged Superman-style at corners, only to completely miss them.
The match became increasingly bitty and disjointed as the physicality of the game led to a few stoppages and free kicks. The main half-chances fell to the favourites, particularly both Diarras, but Niger were holding firm, forcing Les Aigles to shoot from distance or tight angles – they had Diabate under control, which was enough to shut them down for now due to the absence of usual strike partner Modibo Maiga of West Ham. With half time arriving, it seemed like another 0-0 draw might be on the cards.
Mali step it up in the second half
Mali coach Patrice Carteron decided to shake up his attacking options at half time with Rennes' Fantamady Diarra making way for Mamadou Samassa (the other one) of Chievo. He nearly made an immediate impact, shooting wide just 5 minutes into the half. Moments later, captain Seydou Keita forced a fine save from Daouda with his speciality, a beautifully-placed effort from just outside the box, as Mali stepped up the pressure on the underdogs. But they continued to hold firm, and forced a scramble from keeper Samassa after Kalilou Traore gave the ball away to Niger striker Modibo Sidibe in midfield, leading to a rapid counter-attack.
It was becoming clear that Niger would need an error like that to snatch a goal, while Mali continued to pressurise their defence. Samassa again threatened with a jinking run inside, only to ripple the net from the wrong side. At the other end, Niger's captain and talisman Moussa Maazou, so long isolated on the wing, got a free header in the box from a corner, only to see it fly over the bar – a reminder for Mali that they had not sealed this.
It was a warning that only Keita seemed to heed, though. The former Barcelona man tried another long-ranger, this time hitting the bar with Daouda well-beaten. Mahamane Traore was next to come close, heading over from the edge of the 6-yard box while Diabate was in a great position just behind. But it was looking like wastefulness could cost them, not least when Maazou found himself free in the box with the ball at his feet. However, the Etoile du Sahel striker would scuff his shot into the ground and it landed easily in the arms of Samassa. It would be their biggest chance. Moments later he would be ruing it even more.
A goalkeeping error decides it
It was now the 83rd minute. Mali had pushed Niger back into their penalty area once again. Diabate had a shot blocked on the left side box, before it found its way to the right flank. The cross should have been easy for Daouda to deal with. But he was under pressure, and the shakiness he had demonstrated earlier in the came returned. He fumbled, and unfortunately for him, he fumbled it straight to Keita, who slipped it between the lunges of the Niger defenders into the unguarded net. Another crucial late goal by Keita, who also scored the equaliser in the famous 4-4 opener against Angola in 2010.
Keita: Mali's saviour once again
So heartbreak for Niger, who couldn't muster anything in the remaining minutes. They had defended well for 83 minutes, but as had been hinted earlier, a goalkeeping error ultimately cost them their first Cup of Nations point. But on chances created, Mali deserved the win, even if they didn't show much attacking fortitude until the second half. While on the basis of this showing they may struggle to qualify for the quarter-finals, let alone challenge for the title, we have seen how teams develop over tournaments as the pressure increaese – if they can be more clinical going forward, they could progress. For Niger, it looks bleak – defensively strong, but they created very little and wasted the good chances that they had. It's difficult to see where they can pick up points from here – their best chance theoretically comes next against DR Congo, but they looked impressive today.
Man of the Match: Seydou Keita
With Diabate misfiring and the Diarras creating little from the flanks, it was up to Mali's most decorated player to drive the team on from an increasingly-advanced role. He single-handedly created the team's two best chances – his own long-range efforts – before eventually scoring the winner. Mali's chances of getting out of the group look increasingly likely to be resting on the Dalian Aerbin midfielder's shoulders, but he also has a wise old head on those shoulders.

Q: How do I prevent the next checkbox in a CheckedListBox control from being unchecked when the previous checkbox is removed? I'm working on a .NET Windows Forms application. I have an event handler procedure for the CheckedListBox control that's supposed to remove a checkBox from the list if it is unchecked. I got that part working, but the problem is that the next checkBox, which is supposed to be checked, automationally becomes unchecked when I do that.
I have tried 'manually' removing all elements from the CheckedListBox and adding them again, making sure they are checked, but the next checkbox remains unchecked.
This is very frustrating.
Is there something wrong with my code or is this a bug?
    private void checkedListBox_ItemCheck(object sender, ItemCheckEventArgs e)
    {
        if (e.CurrentValue == CheckState.Checked)
        {
            checkedListBox.Items.RemoveAt(e.Index);
        }
    }

A: I found a way to solve the problem. It's a bit of a hack, but it works.
I just provided a MouseUp event handler procedure and inside it looped through the checkedListBox's Items, setting unchecked items to checked.

Su Hanshan silhouette appeared. Bai Yi, wearing a long hair fluttering about, his hand holding the Divine Blade Extreme Night, seemingly slowly, but in fact, its speed was extremely fast.
Su Hanshan spoke a sentence, disappeared with the conversation patiently.
The hand is suddenly waved, causing a monstrous Lightning rumbled out, the Lightning instantly transformed into a huge light screen, with a hong sound, it descended from the sky, landed directly in front of Wang Mu and the others in front of him!
Wang Mu's figure suddenly stopped, The lightning screen as they felt a terrifying sense of danger.
A Dragon God Realm Peak began, Wang Mu nodded, then took out a Spirit Ring, a loud bang shattered, turned into mist, wrapped around his body.
He had directly charged into the lightning screen!
When Wang Mu collided with the lightning barrier, causing a shocking explosion rang out, the lightning screen, the boundless Lightning turned into a pillar, lightning struck Wang Mu's body.
At this moment, Wang Mu's mist directly destroyed, but there is a white Armor appeared, Clearly, it was a Middle Grade Sacred Spirit Grade Defense Equipment.
He was the Armor wrapped around him, still didn't retreat, but charged forward.
But the Lightning Power is too powerful, Wang Mu's face changed, Fresh Blood sprayed out continuously, in the end, clenched his teeth and took out a piece of God's Stone, swallowing it.
This is a swallow, the boundless Lightning struck Wang Mu's body, but didn't let him suffer any damage.
Wang Mu's figure, charge, had just passed through the lightning screen!
He didn't turn his head, his expression is gloomy, he flew straight ahead.
Actually Wang Mu had originally not intended to use God's Stone, After all, even if he is in the Space Ring within, only these ten God's Stone, he had to prepare for the final battle to open it to use.
However, if did not use God's Stone's words, Clearly, even the Sacred Spirit Grade' Armor, it would stop Lightning's Attack.
Would swallow a billion Spirit Stone, Su Hanshan once again saw Wang Mu's personality is vicious and decisive.
In Wang Mu through the lightning screen, when the six Dragon God Realm Peak's Wang Family, it was already the Su Hanshan surrounding them.
"Don't seek death, If I wanted to kill you, but with a flip of his hand." Su Hanshan's cold face.
Wu spoke, the six people all had a solemn expression, eyes filled with deep fear.
Su Hanshan had instantly caused Wang severely injured him, and then borrowing Wang Mu's Spear, General Wang Cheng to kill them, They were all clearly saw that Su Hanshan wasn't boasting.
However, they were people of the Wang Family, the Wang Family's order, we must protect Prince, Even if he were to really fight, he would still have to do it!
Seeing six people surrounding him, Su Hanshan frowned, suddenly shouted.
His main target was not the six of them, not even Wang Mu, but Wang Mu Space Ring in the Map Bone.
Su Hanshan took a step forward, and Heavenly Dragon Nine took the third step is executed, his figure immediately disappeared.
The six of them couldn't find Su Hanshan's figure, looked at each other in dismay, but at the time, he had a relaxed feeling.
Su Hanshan, facing them as if he was facing a ferocious desolate beast, Even though Su Hanshan handsome, his body looked like a scholar in a thin and weak, but the indescribably terrifying pressure, was always surrounded by the six people's hearts.
Six people had the same thought.
And Su Hanshan here, the nine steps of the third step, causing his speed to increase by a countless number of figures appeared and disappeared, it was just a breath of time, he found that was in at the fleeing Wang Mu.
Sense Su Hanshan's arrival, Wang Mu's face changed, was gnashing his teeth in anger.
"Persistent bastards!" Wang Mu shouted in his heart.
At this moment, another huge lightning screen appeared in Wang Mu in front.
Two close, Wang Mu wanted to stop could no longer, and his figure in the Armor's protection in, directly colliding with the lightning barrier.
A mouthful of Fresh Blood spewed out, However, Wang Mu did not hesitate, With the flip of his hand, the third time took out God's Stone and swallowed it.
Have God's Stone's existence, the lightning screen, This Su Hanshan, it couldn't hurt him at all!
Wang Mu remained silent, his expression ugly.
He had just been through the lightning curtain, But in front of him, and there was a fourth.
Wang Mu's pupils contracted, and didn't dare to believe it.
Wang Mu took out the fourth time God's Stone and swallowed it.
However, he had just swallowed it, before passing through the four lightning screen, the fifth lightning screen, once again appeared.
The sixth, seventh and eighth... said... ten!
Looked at that covered the heavens and the earth, it seemed as if it was a wall blocked the lightning screen, Wang Mu is completely stunned on Earth.
He had a total of ten God's Stone, it had to be used in this place?
Moreover, even if it is used, with Su Hanshan's strength, he would have to survive!
"What do you want to do!" Wang Mu suddenly shouted.
"Map Bone, and your body all things, all of them to me." Su Hanshan said indifferently.
Su Hanshan's gaze grew cold, This Wang Mu, up until now, was still unwilling to give up, Su Hanshan had completely lost his patience, He raised his hand, a long blade.
Rumbled. The Saber Light soared out, headed straight for Wang Mu struck over.
Wang Mu, at this moment, there were only two options, One was to resist Saber Light, a lightning curtain barge in.
But regardless of what to choose, would need God's Stone!
Originally Wang Mu felt ten God's Stone, it was already sufficient for him to use it, But now... it seems... a hundred, it would not be enough!
In anger, Wang Mu was the first five God's Stone swallowed, choosing to barge in lightning screen.
Until the ten lightning screen, Wang Mu would be the one to swallow God's Stone, forcibly rushed over!


1.	Scan the market, viable sources of reference are people who have recorded, social media and fellow musicians. Compare different studio charges and your budget.
2.	Checkout engineer/producer profiles, their past projects and the musicians they have worked with. There are many people out there who'll gladly produce your music (for a fee of-course) but you need to do your homework as to who fits the bill.
3.	Checkout the studio in person, the condition of the equipment and audition the engineers. Also ask to hear samples of their previous work.
4.	Take your demo tape (irrespective of recording quality) with you to the studio and play it for the producer.
5.	Rehearse well: After finalizing a studio and recording dates, rehearse well, all the intro, rhythm parts and solos etc. prior to stepping in for recording. This includes ensuring that your gear is in good shape. And also try to be very punctual. Studio time can be expensive, thus utilize time efficiently.
6.	Get some rest prior to the recording, studio sessions can be demanding and exhaustive work requiring concentration, thus last minute partying is out.
7.	Don't panic if you messed up in a session, pinpoint your mistakes and do a second take, if there are multiple songs and you're having difficulty in getting it right then move another song or take a short breather. If you are unsatisfied with a take then do it again, better to be safe than sorry.
8.	Most important of all remember to enjoy the experience and have fun. Your feel, attitude and groove will reflect in the final product.

The guys who got Osama bin Laden need boxing lessons. According to a contract solicitation issued Feb. 1, the Naval Special Warfare Development Group — that's SEAL Team 6, to us civilians — wants former special-operations types and other flying fists to school them in "combative training."
Who'd have thunk the gang that got bin Laden would have to go outside their own tight circle to study pugilism? "Naval Special Warfare Development Group (NSWDG) personnel conduct advanced research and development of tactics for use by Naval Special Warfare Forces," it reads. "In order to successfully conduct this mission, they must be trained and prepared to conduct a diverse range of combat skills."
(PHOTOS: Navy SEALs in Action)
You can get aches just by reading:
Course instruction shall include all aspects of military combatives, shall be operationally focused, and shall be conducted with and without full kit using NSWDG crawl, walk, run combative training methodology. Techniques shall comply with NSWDG standard operating procedures, rules of engagement, use-of-force continuum, and deadly force restrictions and guidelines. Course of instruction shall incorporate the tactical employment of Combatives techniques while teaching students how to adapt to different scenarios and specific needs.
The contract will last for seven months, starting next month, and there's an option to extend it for an additional year. It'll require at least one instructor for each group of up to 30 SEALs. Private individual lessons — it's not explained whether these are for slow SEALs or specially trained SEALs — also are part of the deal. ("Private session training will be arranged when needed through the command combative training point of contact," the solicitation says.)
(PHOTOS: Special Ops: A Photo History)
The techniques to be taught are slated to include:
— Close-quarter striking techniques to include punches, parries (blocks) and counterstrikes.
— Sound training techniques to include focus mitt and bag training.
— Advanced application to include boxing combinations, footwork and balance and self-defense.
— Combative training shall include close-quarter striking techniques, close-quarter hand-to-hand combat fighting and defensive counterstrike techniques.
— Combative training shall provide techniques and procedures based on current and real-world scenarios.
— Combat training shall work effectively with NSWDG-provided equipment (i.e., headgear and boxing ring) and shall be applicable in confined spaces or shipboard environment. Government-furnished Special Operations Forces (SOF) related Personal Protection Equipment and weapons will be implemented during training, as well.
— At the conclusion of each course of instruction, the student experience and practical levels of capabilities will be increased in the following areas to the greatest extent possible under the time provided: footwork, balance, blocks, punches, counterpunches and clinch work, offensive and defensive boxing techniques and multiple-opponent strategies. Initial student experience will vary from three (3) to fifteen (15) years of related training.
(VIDEO: 10 Questions with American Sniper Chris Kyle)
With students boasting up to 15 years' training, the teachers had better be pretty skilled. The winning contractor will meet the following requirements:
— Instructor(s) shall be nationally or internationally recognized at world-level competitions such as the Junior Olympics, the International Military Sports Council and the National USA boxing golden gloves.
— Instructor(s) shall possess an established background in employing and incorporating Western Boxing techniques into tactical military scenarios to include, but not limited to, Close Quarter Battle (CQB), Military Operations on Urban Terrain (MOUT) and Visit, Board, Search and Seizure (VBSS). Instructor(s) shall have verifiable experience training various military groups.
— Primary Instructor shall have a minimum of five (5) years of SOF experience; minimum 10 years experience in teaching beginner through advanced students; recognition nationally and militarily as a boxing expert.
— Contractor shall have prior experience in the development and delivery of a combative-skills course to Special Operations Forces (SOF).
The lessons will take place at the SEALs' East Coast outpost at Virginia Beach, Va. Given all the tough requirements, SEALs — and would-be SEALs — will be hearted to know that the training should occur only during "normal working hours" from 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Pass the ice packs, please.

Chicago Doctor Gives Back to Those Who Need It Most
Remembering where you come from nowadays seems like it's just a saying. With ambitions of a family, wealth and better health, most of those living in low-income neighborhoods move away and rarely have time to give back. But a Chicago doctor decided to do something different.
Dr. Fred Richardson returned to the neighborhood where he grew up to specifically provide care to those who need it most: his old neighbors.
Dr. Richardson was raised in Englewood, a low-income area on Chicago's South Side with once one of the highest unemployment and crime rates in the Midwest. After finishing medical school, for the past 25 years, Richardson's given back by making house calls in some of the city's most dangerous neighborhoods so residents can get proper medical support.
Though house calls may seem a little bit old-fashioned in these days of selfies, online appointments and doctors skyping, Richardson says that sometimes it's the only way his patients can receive support.
"These old guys can't get out," he told the "Today" show, explaining that some of his patients are unable to leave their homes for care. "Medicare will pay for a home visit — actually will reimburse better than [for] an office visit."
And his patients love the down-to-earth, personable care that sometimes lacks in a big, busy, corporate hospital setting.
"One of the things I enjoy the most about having a doctor like Dr. Fred is that he's a good listener," Alberta Bowles, one of his house call patients told the Chicago Tribune. "You can talk to him. He does not rush you to do anything and he never dismisses anything you say."
Fred was the only African American in his medical class, and he received a great measure of negative feedback.
"I was told many times, 'Your grades aren't high enough to do this," Richardson told one class. "They said I would never do it."However, he proved that he could. That's why Richardson, who works six days a week, and is on call 24 hours a day, also finds time to empower future generations. Several nights a week, in his office, he mentors minority medical students who are struggling free of charge. To date he has helped 50 students become successful doctors! His daughter Jessica is one of those doctors.
Giving back isn't just something that sounds good to Dr. Fred, it's a way of life.

Q: Markov chain involving gerrymandering in Pennsylvania I am currently working on a project that involves analyzing the 18 districts of Pennsylvania and using the results of the 2018 House of Representatives Congressional Election.
I understand that transition matrices for Markov chains must be square; however, I am not sure how to do this as I currently have an $18 \times 3$ matrix ( 18 districts, 3 parties (Republican, Democrat, Independent)).
We're going to build a Markov chain $X_t$ whose state space is the partitions for some real state and whose initial state $X_0$ is some totally random partition. let $f(X_t)$ denote the
number of R seats for partition $X_t$. then:
$$ \frac{1}{1000}(f(X_1) + \ldots + f(X_{1000}))$$
would be our sense of what is a fair number of $R$ seats for that state. then see where our model's version of fairness lies in the efficiency gap graph.

A: PA has many D voters packed in its cities which will cause your R-seat distribution not to be Gaussian, but skewed. So you might want to look at both the mean and median seat values. It would be great if you could post your results, or a link, when done. (a histogram of #R seats)


Within most of the companies there are two views about how the technology should be used.
Marketing is always looking for ways to attract people to get potential customers involved in Companies' activities. Sometimes they would do anything to make the Web site visitors rise, even if this doesn't translate into sales. There is a little desperation in their actions. Many times this translates into SPAM, and exposure to other attacks.
On the other hand the IT infrastructure will always try to secure as much as possible forgetting that tightening up too much will make the customer go away.
It takes a good collaboration between the Marketing and the IT department to insure the best balance between a secure IT environment and the maximum interaction with your potential clients.
It also takes well trained personnel and the training need to be interdisciplinary. For instance Marketing need Technology knowledge and IT need Marketing knowledge.
Following I will present some of the frequent mistakes I encountered in my experience as an IT administrator. I will underline the misconception behind some of these mistakes and show what can be done to correct them.
A common mistake of Marketing is to publish email addresses on Internet. The misconception is that people are not comfortable to use forms and they will run away from a contact form because it involves more effort in order to contact someone within the company.
This is a partial true. This depends on the way your company makes business and on the product you sell. If you sell an inexpensive product and the main goal is to expedite the process then make a contact address public could be a way. This is the easiest and the most convenient way of making yourself available, (after phone). If you sell an expensive product/service, a contact address for support then you should go with Web Contact Forms.
Using a Web Contact Form is the most secure and easy way to maintain email communication. You can publish the link of this form on any website, Social Networking site, or Web profile.
If you are not using Web-forms the amount of SPAM once you publish your email address on Internet is exponential; once your email gets discovered by spider bots is going to be used more and more.
Your contact email address doesn't have to be published on Internet. Whoever is looking to get in contact with your company will take the time to fill in a form and a CAPTCHA field. Or they can call; you should publish your phone numbers on the Web.
Or even better setup a chat page on your website and have an option so that you client can request a phone call. Most of the times a company will get better deals for Long Distance calls than a consumer.
On the Social Media profiles use contact forms and links to your website's contact form instead of publishing an email address.
Social Media pages are very popular and they are crawled more often than other content types. Any email address published will be discovered very quickly by spider-bots.
Publish an image of your email address and not the email address html coded. This will prevent bots to discover your email addresses while providing users a public email address.
If this is still not acceptable and you want the email address to be a clickable email link, be prepared to change the public email address on a regular basis.
When you change a public email address, set up automatic reply on the old ones and keep the account active for a while. The automatic reply message should point to the newest email address.
Automatic SPAM software will not know that the email has changed and a legitimate sender will get the reply with the newest email address.
The automatic reply should also mention the website page that contains the newest contact information. (Let's say you changed three email addresses within a week, a client who added you in their Address Book a week ago will have to send three emails to reach you.
The email addresses should be rather complex than intuitive, see this article for explanations:Preventing Domain Name Spam.
Create and maintain a list with all of the Web Pages and Social media sites accounts that use the public email address. This way you won't forget to make the change everywhere when you need to update the contact info.
Another common mistake is to mix up personal communication with business communication.
The reasoning behind this is that: "I am going to give the address only to friends so it's safe". Nothing more wrong, there is always one of your friends that will get hacked, personal computers are more prone to be infected and your address will get used and distributed to SPAM lists. See here a more detailed explanation: Ho to prevent Spam.
Do not use a personal business email address to create online accounts even if they are business related. Use generic accounts that you afford to change at any time.
Implement SPF – see this article.
Train your users and implement written policies about the email usage within the company.
Use different domain names for web presence and for daily correspondence.
If you are a system administrator you can look at various corporate targeted solutions to reduce spam.
Server Based Antispam Software, Antispam Appliances (Gateway based Anti-Spam), Hosted antispam filtering.
A few solutions no necessarily the best: are Google Postini, Barracuda Networks, MailFoundry, IronPort, Spamassassin, SPAMD (BSD), Trend Micro, GFI MailEssentials, MailMarshal, Symantec Brightmail, and Roaring Penguins' CanIt Pro.
Remember is always better to prevent than to fix.

German Chancellor and Christian Democratic Union (CDU) leader Angela Merkel heard harsh criticism from her party on Friday for the compromises underpinning a final coalition agreement with the Christian Social Union (CSU) and German Social Democrats (SPD).
Paul Ziemiak, leader of the CDU youth organization, publicly demanded a sign of renewal in response to the outcome of talks.
"We simply demand the inclusion of younger individuals, young politicians, in the federal government and party leadership," Ziemiak told the radio station "Deutschlandfunk".
He added that he expected clarity from Merkel on personnel changes in the party and governing cabinet by the date of the CDU party conference on Feb. 26.
Speaking to "BILD" as well, the CDU foreign policy speaker Norbert Roettgen complained that the party had been "structurally weakened" and would consequently "lose influence".
Similarly, CDU parliamentarian Christian von Stetten described the distribution of ministries as a "political mistake." His party colleague Michael von Abercron went even further in asserting that Merkel's authority had been "shattered in the party, as well as in the government".
Ziemiak urged his party to start thinking seriously about an eventual successor to Merkel. Due to the loss of the finance ministry to the SPD, in particular, tensions were "brewing everywhere" in the CDU and would only become worse without internal renewal.
Despite only wining 20.5 percent of the vote in national elections in September, the SPD has negotiated the right to nominate six ministerial posts in a re-launch of the "grand coalition", including prestigious departments such as Finance, Foreign Affairs and Labor/Social Policy.
The CDU, which won the largest share of votes with 26.8 percent, is only set to receive five ministries, aside from the chancellorship itself. Notably, Merkel's party also ceded the influential interior ministry to its conservative sister party CSU (6.2 percent voter share, three ministers in total).
However, Ziemiak emphasized that not all ministerial posts in the next government were already officially-designated. "We need more young faces in the government, if we want to speak about the future of Germany," he argued.
The CDU leadership will vote on the coalition agreement at the specially-convened conference, although their approval is widely seen as a mere formality.

Pardonne-Moi
Posted in: Constitutional Law
In one of the latest DJT dramas, we learn that the President reportedly believes he has the power to pardon himself for any federal crimes he might have committed (during and prior to his presidency). Legal commentators have their hands full analyzing Trump's other suspect exercises of and plans for the pardon power-for close relatives and for people from whom he anticipates his brand of loyalty (a.k.a. Omerta). But the question of self-pardon seems to stand alone. The power to pardon people for their crimes almost necessarily assumes that the pardoner and the one to be pardoned (the "pardonee") are two separate individuals. In this column, I discuss why and what the implications are.
The Assumption Embedded in Any Pardon Power
The power to pardon people for criminal actions carries potential risks. Our criminal justice system (federal, in this case) operates as a means of protecting people from crime and of giving voice to the community's outrage when one of its members violates the interests of others by committing a criminal offense. Among its various functions, the criminal justice system satisfies what appears to be a very widely shared desire to exact revenge against someone who has wronged you or your community, however defined. A system of private retribution and vigilantism, which emerges in the absence of a formal and relatively reliable justice system, could undermine the orderly functioning of society, as the author of The Better Angels of Our Nature, Steven Pinker, effectively demonstrates regarding honor-oriented cultures in various parts of the world and the southern United States. The more honor-oriented a culture, the more private violence one finds (much of which is an excessive or erroneous response to other violence). When the government replaces the victims' family, the process becomes more accurate and proportionate. The most violent parts of our country as well as of the globe tend to be places where individuals and families have refused to fully surrender their retributive impulses to the government.
Even when we have a functioning criminal justice system, there will be people who take it upon themselves to punish those who have hurt them. But if the system consistently fails victims, then many more will take back the delegated role. It is accordingly crucial that the government perform its justice-seeking effectively. If it does not do so, then the adage "no justice, no peace" will prove an accurate prediction. If the criminal justice system were to suddenly stop investigating, prosecuting, and punishing people who have violated the rules of the social order, then the consequences could be dire.
Occasionally, of course, the government (or the head of the executive branch) can extend a pardon to a particular individual or group of individuals. The reasons for doing so include political rapprochement; a change in character or behavior by the pardonee that makes what was originally a fair sentence now seem excessive; and the recognition that even at the time of the offense the pardonee acted in response to life experiences that not one of us could say would have left us capable of directing our own conduct down the straight and narrow. To illustrate the last category, let me describe the life of a woman whose circumstances should provoke the kind of mercy and empathy that properly characterizes a legitimate use of the pardon power.
The Trump administration earlier this year resumed federal executions after a nearly two-decade hiatus. More recently, the pace of these executions has stepped up, as the sand in the Trump presidential hourglass runs down. One of the people awaiting death at the hands of the federal government is Lisa Montgomery, the only woman facing federal execution. Convicted of murder, Montgomery committed an ugly crime, strangling a young pregnant woman with whom Montgomery had initiated a false friendship on social media. Montgomery also removed the fetus from the woman's body, perhaps in the hopes of keeping it herself. Yet a brief look at Montgomery's background might lead one to grant her a pardon, notwithstanding her horrifying offense. Various members of her family abused her repeatedly, brutally, sexually, and relentlessly during her childhood and beyond, when she married only to find herself abused again.
The extremity, violence, and frequency of the abuse Montgomery suffered might lead us to say that we simply do not know what we or those we currently trust would do if subjected to the kind of prolonged torture that she experienced. We might see our way to pardoning this woman because her life has been so utterly wretched that she may be entitled to the compassion and mercy that has never before graced her life.
Pardoning, Empathy, and a Theory of Mind
When the government pardons a person who has committed a crime, it expresses empathy for that individual, a sense of being able to feel the other individual's pain. In punishing people who hurt others, the government also expresses empathy but for the victims of crime rather than for its perpetrators. Most of the time, the criminal justice system facilitates the second kind of empathy, particularly with the ascendence of the victims' rights movement and corresponding developments. To exercise the pardon power, a government official should ideally be able to feel the pain of both victims and perpetrators and thereby determine whether mercy is appropriate in a particular case.
The centrality of these emotional capacities does not bode well for President Trump's wise exercise of the pardon power. According to nearly every mental health professional who has written on the subject, President Trump suffers from Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD). In truth, one need not have a degree in counseling or psychology to come to this conclusion.
To have NPD is, among other things, to be incapable of feeling empathy. A person with NPD cannot feel for either the victims or the perpetrators of crime. President Trump's complete lack of empathy has been on display on many occasions, including when he attacked a gold star family who had lost their son, when he insulted John McCain because he [Trump] "like[s] people who weren't captured," a remark that may have led McCain to ask his family not to admit the President of the United States to McCain's funeral, and Trump's imitation and mockery of Dr. Christine Blasey Ford, who had testified about Brett Kavanaugh's alleged attempt to rape her when both were in high school. People with NPD like winners, not losers, and the victims of crime and sometimes its perpetrators are or will have been on the losing end of some of life's battles. A person with NPD also tends to focus almost entirely on how everything affects him or her rather than others. Figuring out whether a particular defendant should receive a pardon would seem to call upon the very skills that people with NPD lack. That may be why President Trump has so far handed out pardons to people who displayed loyalty to him (like Mike Flynn), while apparently considering additional pardons to members of his immediate family. To Trump, the pardon power is like a key to the bakery: why not take as many cinnamon buns and muffins as you can? No one would likely imagine that any pardoning decision he makes will have anything to do with tempering justice with mercy.
Self-Pardon
If the pardon power rests on a foundation of empathy (or least the capacity to empathize), it implicitly assumes that we have before us more than one person, the one who pardons (the pardoner) and the one who receives the pardon (the pardonee). The criminal law has come to reflect an approximation of the principle, most famously articulated by John Stuart Mill, that the people should be entitled to do what they want so long as they do not harm others. In general, it punishes actions by one person that have an impact on at least one other person, sometimes many. Suicide is no longer a crime precisely because the person who kills himself has not deprived another person of her life, though the government reserves the authority to stop people from killing themselves, on the theory that a person who kills himself is evidencing a symptom of severe mental illness. To the extent that most crime contemplates a(nother) victim, the pardoner can place himself in the shoes of the/one of the victims and figure out whether forgiveness is warranted.
If we had many crimes that people committed against themselves, then it would make a lot of sense to recognize a self-pardon power because whether we could or could not forgive ourselves would be a relevant dimension of whether we deserved a pardon. But as it stands, we do not have many such offenses, and consulting oneself about whether one can find it in one's heart to extend forgiveness to oneself, seems wholly alien to the ingredients of crime, punishment, and the exercise of the pardon power. If self-condemnation is not part of the criminal law (notwithstanding the very different practice of plea-bargaining), then self-forgiveness should not be either.
If President Trump pardons himself for whatever offenses he has committed up until the point at which he grants the pardon, does that mean he has forgiven himself? No. A person with NPD, like a person with anti-social personality disorder (ASPD), does not walk around excoriating himself for his actions. In all likelihood, President Trump, like his ASPD brethren (who lack both empathy and a functioning conscience) feels nothing when he repeatedly and egregiously violates the norms of a civilized democracy. If one never felt much or any guilt to begin with, it doesn't mean anything to say one has forgiven oneself. A self-pardon violates the premises of pardons and, in the case of President Trump, exposes the extent to which pardons were meant for Presidents whose emotional brains (limbic system) are far less damaged than that of our lame duck. The problem with self-pardoning is that the only person who would dare to use it is one who should not be exercising the pardon power at all.

And it is great advice, because it does. Only, it's advice which is almost impossible to follow, as the frequency with which you're offered it goes some way to proving. I got married to my lovely lady of ten years, Lindsey, last week and it already seems like an age ago. The entire day was like an incredibly rich, vivid dream. Even looking at the pictures now feels like we're peering in on an event we weren't part of.
People you know are at every turn, smiling, shaking your hand, kissing your cheek, wishing you well and taking photos. Professional photographers follow you down the street 'papping' you as you make your way to church. Your friends and family throw small bits of multicoloured paper at you which end up in your mouth, lodged in your ears and down the front of your trousers. Beautiful, old cars await your arrival, champagne on ice. Red carpets guide you into a building where everyone continues to congratulate you and erupt with applause as you enter the room and head to your table for something to eat. And, to cap it all off, your best mate unearths all manner of embarrassing stories from the past and uses props for maximum impact.
It is, in a word, overwhelming.
Satisfyingly, things went a bit wrong, too. In the church, Lindsey momentarily forgot which hand was her left – twice – and the vicar dropped my ring… twice (and no, that is not a euphemism – something you have to squeeze in whenever the word 'ring' is used). At the reception, the photographer ushered us all out to what looked like a beautiful flat piece of grass only for us to find that it had an 80% incline, thus proving particularly treacherous for the older guests and what technically amounted to a request for death-defying stunt work for the ladies in high heels.
My speech was interrupted by one of our pageboys farting just as I mentioned his mum's name and my big moment in the spotlight also suffered a dramatic loss of structure when we discovered the presents for everyone had seemingly been hidden in random locations throughout the room by the hotel staff.
Our toastmaster also disappeared. That's understandable – he was a busy man, but choosing the moment after I requested we cut the cake to perform his Houdini act was slightly inconvenient.
My dad, who kindly agreed to make an appearance as Elton John, quite rightly made an enormous song and dance (literally) about my new wife playing the part of Kiki Dee and joining him for Don't Go Breaking My Heart. Unfortunately, in all the excitement, he forgot to introduce me on piano. I'm not at all complaining as I wasn't particularly keen on drawing attention to myself, but this did mean I had to sidle onto the stage and sit down at the keys looking a bit like an unwanted, forgotten band member. This must have been particularly surprising for those who didn't know I played and I wouldn't blame them for thinking I was either lost, preparing for an ill-judged joke or monumentally drunk (or possibly all three).
But you know what? I wouldn't change any of it for the world. I just wish someone could have hit the pause button halfway through.

Atlanta Falcons WR Julio Jones could very well miss time with a hip injury he suffered in the team's 43-37 loss to the Green Bay Packers on Monday Night Football.
Jones set a franchise record with 259 receiving yards and also became the Falcons' all-time leader in receiving yards in a season with 1,428 this year, but missed the final critical moments of the game after suffering a hip injury. He currently holds the NFL lead for receiving yards.
"It was very tough," Jones said, via ESPN.com. "Last year, I missed the majority of the season with a broken foot. And that came back into my mind when I wasn't able to go back out there with my teammates and fight with them at the end of the game. I'll be OK. I just have to get treatment this week, and we'll go from there."
Jones broke the franchise single-season receiving record of 1,389 held by current teammate Roddy White since 2010 – and in only 13 games. He is the only Falcons WR in team history to average over 100 yards per game over an entire season.
