Smyth disappointed, gracious over Canadian decisionby Todd Kimberley / NHL.com
"Am I disappointed? Yes, I'm disappointed. I would love to play for my country. It brings chills to my spine as I say it. I have a great deal of pride in putting on the Canadian jersey, and I hope to for many more years."
-- Ryan Smyth
Los Angeles Kings left winger Ryan Smyth, known as "Captain Canada" for his extensive international resume, was left off the 23-man Canadian roster for the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Games Wednesday.
Smyth had gone on a scoring tear to begin the 2009-10 NHL season, with 9 goals among 23 points in his first 22 games with Los Angeles -- sparking hope that he would play in his third Olympics despite his age (33) and Hockey Canada's clear intentions to get younger in 2010.
But a rib injury incurred Nov. 16 at Florida kept Smyth out of action for nearly six weeks -- he returned to action Dec. 26 at Phoenix -- and all but KO'ed his hopes.
Smyth must have been crushed by the news, but was extremely gracious talking to reporters Wednesday morning in Calgary.
"Getting off to the start I had, it might have given me a chance, but there's so many great players," he said. "It was even an honor to be one of 46 here in Calgary here at the Olympic orientation camp (in August).
"Being a part of it in '02 and '06, I've had a tremendous experience in the past, and I've enjoyed every moment of it."
In addition to his two Olympic experiences, including 2002 gold in Utah, Smyth heeded Canada's call at six straight World Championships from 2000 through '05, winning two global titles and sporting the "C" in five of those tournaments.
Smyth has played more career international games for Canada (78) than any other player from the Great White North.
"Am I disappointed? Yes, I'm disappointed. I would love to play for my country," Smyth told reporters. "It brings chills to my spine as I say it. I have a great deal of pride in putting on the Canadian jersey, and I hope to for many more years."
Said Kings coach Terry Murray on Wednesday morning: "I'm sure he's very disappointed. He was looking forward to playing one more time with the Canadian Olympic team, especially in Vancouver where he spends his summers now. He was the first player here with the television on and listening very closely to the announcement. It's been a tough morning for him.
"And there's no question that the injury he went through must have had some kind of an impact on the decision. There're a lot of players in the game, and whenever you're not visible for that length of time, you can fall out of sight very quickly."
The former Oiler, Islander and Av knows there's a possibility that the Canadian roster may change over the next six weeks due to injury. But the veteran of 1,025 NHL regular-season and playoff games wasn't about to wish that on anyone -- and seemed to be at peace with his fate.
"I believe they picked the 23 guys for a reason, and I know there's a lot of hockey between now and then, but you've just got to go out and play and carry forth," Smyth said. "If an accident happens, it happens, but you can't think about that.
"These guys are going to represent our country with pride, and I'll be their No. 1 fan."

Hughes vs Serra
I'm not the biggest fan of Matt Serra, actually, I think he's his own biggest fan. Can anyone tell me if this interview is serious or not?
The comments are disturbing, LMAO
1 Attachment(s)
Yes, the interview is serious, and looks perfectly normal to me.
The comments? Meh, typical trolling for a reaction.
What comment? He wants to fight hughes again? Did I miss something...
Sent from my Desire HD using VerticalSports.Com App
This will probably get more views in the UFC section.
... And away!!!!
Serra has expressed a desire to fight Hughes ever since Hughes was a coach and Serra won the TUF for a chance to fight GSP. That was probably the last TUF series I watched each week. I think Hughes would have destroyed him at the time but it would probably be a good fight now, I would watch it...
Somehow I completely forgot about that fight!
Hughes got a decision right??
I guess he might not have destroyed Serra after all....
Sucks getting old..
I was never very big on either. I haven't been watching UFC live for THAT long but I've seen all of their old fights and I just never got the same excitment. Guess it was the kind of thing you had to watch live on a Friday night or something.
I personally think Serra is a much over-rated fighter. A 7-7 record in the UFC is hardly legendary. I think he should just retire and stick to teaching. Matt Hughes deserves a legendary opponent as his last....Serra is not a great choice.
Besides, he is way out of shape and would never make weight. Holy Cannoli, that boy must be eating good.

So I've been immensely narcissistic on my march toward a silver tag badge, and I've been checking the stats page incessantly. In my looking, I found that the number of answers that the stats page says I have in a tag does not equal the number of answers that the tag says I have in said tag.
For example, take a look at my profile and note that for the
sql tag, I have 153 answers. If you were to click it, you'd see that the 153 number is correct, as far as the search is concerned. But, the stats page shows only 129. I should note that I've never asked a question on SO, so all posts are answers.

Title of Thesis
A Comparison of the Effectiveness of use of Transmitter Knowledge
and inductive inquiry models on Students Academic Achievement
Author(s)Qaisara Parveen
AbstractThe study was
designed to explore the comparative effectiveness of transmitter of
knowledge model and inductive inquiry model on students' academic
achievement. The main objectives of the study were to expose each of
the two experimental groups to the transmitter of knowledge model
and inductive inquiry model respectively and to compare the
effectiveness of these models in the teaching of Pakistan Studies.
The pretest posttest control group experimental design was chosen
for the experiment. It was hypothesized that there would be
significant difference between mean achievement scores of the two
experimental groups and a control group on the posttest. The
population of the study consisted of all the students of 10th class
studying in the Government High Schools located in Rawalpindi city.
The sample of the study consisted of 90 students of 10th class
studying in Govt. High School DAV College Road, Rawalpindi. They
were divided into three groups, each group consisted of 30 students.
These groups were formed through matching on the basis of their
pretest scores. One of these groups was randomly chosen as control
group and other two as experimental groups. The independent variable
in the study was model of teaching and the dependent variable was
the academic achievement of students. The dependent variable was
measured through a self constructed 50-item achievement test that
was used both as a pretest as well as a posttest. The experimental
groups were exposed to the treatment of teaching models while the
control group was provided with conventional teaching. The material
used for teaching the experimental groups consisted of the lesson
plans prepared in the light of each teaching model according to
Hunter's seven planning steps. After the treatment of eight weeks
duration, the obtained data was analyzed by using the statistical
techniques such as mean, standard deviation, coefficient of
variation, simple analysis of variance Scheffe test and Tuckey's
test in order to find out whether the difference in the mean
achievement score of the comparison groups was statistically
significant. The level of significance used in the study was .05.
The main results of the study confirmed the research hypotheses. It
was, therefore, concluded that students taught through inductive
inquiry model showed superior achievement than those students taught
through transmitter of knowledge model and through conventional
teaching. The study results are in line with previous studies
conducted by Schaffer's (1989) Farrell and Hesketh's (2000) but the
results do not support the results of Nagata (1995), Rose and Fong
(1997), Kalia (2005), Nina Panjunan (2007), Patrick and Elizabeth
Though results of present study need further confirmation, it is
recommended that inductive inquiry model may tentatively be used by
teachers of social studies while teaching the subject to secondary
classes. Therefore, in future studies a blend of models may be used
because there is no single model which is exclusively best for
teaching all the subjects at all levels to all students.

"The latest tyres also generate more grip from the rear, which tends to provoke more understeer and also enhances the possibilities for overtaking."
:S Would someone mind explaining to me how?? This will have the exact opposite effect on over-taking! When you are in the dirty air of someone, you normally find the car is understeery because there is less air pushing against the car!
In 2009, wider front tyres - more oversteery cars, the cars stayed closer together and overtaking was possible (no DRS and only 2 teams using KERS really). 2010.... narrower front tyres.... how many passes did we see in comparison to 2009?
The only reason the races this year have been interesting has been due to un-predictability and "additional help" i.e. tyre degredation - "falling off the cliff" - this made stratagies more open which lead to some interesting racing e.g. battles of people on new and old tyres - they were running their own race so you didn't know what was going to happen until th

Learning to Live Free
Society says that we should all sit in a building, and learn the same way as other children. When our kids don't learn the way others do, they get labeled with ADD/ADHD. We're told that school provides socializing, and gets you ready for the real world according to the public school system.
We are supposed to work a 9-5 until we retire, and it doesn't matter if we like the job. That's just what we do. People will tell you to live your dreams, but you can only pursue them as long as you stay in the limits that the rest of society has set.
We're taught from a very early age that you do as your told. Our choices are limited if we have any at all.
As an adult it can be hard to break out of the box. We're so used to being told what to do, and what's an acceptable way to live.
But what happens when you decide to take a chance? What happens when you start making your own choices, and you don't worry about living the "acceptable" way?
You start living a free life. You become a free thinker.
- What if you fail?
- What if you are more successful than you ever imagined?
- What if you'rerejected?
- What if you help someone else discover how to live free?
- What if you conquer that obstacle that your friends or family said you never would?
- What if your life is so full of joy, happiness, and laughter?
- What if you have a new outlook on life?
- What if you learn to truly live in the moment?
- What if you look back on your life and have no regrets?
- What if you actually enjoy your work because your doing what you love?
- What if you start living the life you want, and not the life someone expects you to live?
The more I learn and embrace this Radical Unschooling lifestyle, the more I enjoy it. The further away I get from that box I kept myself in.
Jill Scott says it all.

Real Housewives of Atlanta
Phaedra Parks and Apollo Nida Talk Kenya Moore on the "Date From Hell"
Both Kenya Moore and Apollo Nida have finally laid all of their cards out on the table about what really happened between the two Real Housewives of Atlanta stars. As we saw on tonight's all-new episode (November 24), there seems to be some confusion as to whether the two had an inappropriate interaction off-screen in L.A., and Apollo's wife Phaedra Parks is ready to get to the bottom of it.
Kenya seems to have changed her story a bit since the Season 5 reunion, as she insisted to Kandi Burruss early on in the episode that the texts she exchanged with Apollo were not sexual at all. Kenya showed her said texts, and though Kandi did rightfully call her out for referring to Apollo as "babe" — not cool, Kenya — they appear to be fairly harmless. Hm.
Kandi then met up with Phaedra for a froyo date, where she relayed her conversation with Kenya. She explained that Kenya said she hadn't seen Apollo in-person, but Phaedra knows that Apollo and Kenya saw each other at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel in L.A.
We finally end the episode with what Andy Cohen recently referred to as "one of the most tense scenes that I've ever seen on the Atlanta Housewives": Phaedra and Apollo's "date from hell," as Phaedra dubbed it.
"Kenya said that nothing happened in L.A., and that you were basically lying — that she never saw you," Phaedra said to Apollo.
Apollo then explained to Phaedra that he and Kenya had been at the same party in L.A. before he returned to his hotel room at the Beverly Wilshire. He said that she was also there, though he wasn't sure whether she followed him or not.
"And then she propositioned you, yes or no?" Phaedra straight out asked him.
"She didn't just come at me and say 'Hey Apollo, let's f—,'" Apollo stated. "You know when a female is basically open. She wanted to have sex in L.A. I chose not to. I left and went to another hotel. Real simple."
Well, that settles that, we guess. There still seems to be something that's not being said, but we're not sure we'll ever get the whole truth of this situation. Hopefully, Apollo and Phaedra can put this saga behind them for the sake of the adorable Mr. President and Ayden.
Whose story do you believe? Tell us in the comments below.

My shift at work is going to be changing soon and this means more time with my daughter and less time with her in daycare. I am going to be working in the afternoon/evening and my wife will have her normal banker's hours. Since there is about a two hour overlap between when I need to leave and when my wife gets off work she will be in daycare those few hours.
My idea was to have her ride with me to daycare since it is on the way and then haul the empty trailer/seat/etc with me the rest of the way to work and back
I have read on sites like consumer reports that two-wheeled trailers are not good for riding on roads because their width presents a hazard and can be clipped by cars. Also, I used to pull my niece in one of these years ago and they have decent amount of rolling resistance even when unloaded (maybe some different tires could help?) and 12 miles pulling one of these can't be fun.
I liked the idea of a rear mounted bike seat...but the horizontal top tube might be a problem. I have only seen people use these with stepthrough beach cruisers and accustomed to bringing my leg over the back of the bike.
I did find this trailer but unfortunately, my 14 month old little girl is only 33.5" tall and this trailer states that it is for kids over 38"
My other option, and one I do not want to use, is to drive her to daycare, drive home, and then ride to work.
Are there other options to look at?

Thanks in advance for any help you guys might be able to provide.
I've got a completely working Zimbra box set up in my domain. The intention is to use it to host internal e-mail, and I've set the domain to be domain.local. The outside world sends e-mail to this company's pop server at domain.com.
Sorry if that's a bit confusing, but let me try to diagram it out:
1) Internal users get a firstname.lastname@example.com address. Most internal users also have a email@example.com address. Please don't ask me why they want it like this...
2) Internal users then configure their Zimbra account, let's say firstname.lastname@example.com, to pull mail from their external account, email@example.com. This pulls mail fine.
3) I've tried to set that account to send from firstname.lastname@example.com but that field is grayed out, fixed at firstname.lastname@example.com (unless I add the domain, but that would cause other problems...see below).
4) So when I send to an external account, let's say a Gmail account, the "From" field still shows "email@example.com" but I've set the "Reply to" field to "firstname.lastname@example.com".
When I send from email@example.com to firstname.lastname@example.com it works fine.
When I send from email@example.com to firstname.lastname@example.com it works fine.
When I send from firstname.lastname@example.com to email@example.com it kicks back with a message from the mail server at domain.com saying that the domain could not be resolved...of course it can't be resolved because domain.local is only local, not in the cloud.
I've contacted the webhost for domain.com and they tell me that they can't add an MX record for domain.local to simply resolve to. They also told me that they can't add it to a white list of some sort.
So, my question comes down to this: How do I set Zimbra to enable email@example.com to send as email@example.com WITHOUT adding domain.com to the Zimbra server's domain list?
The reason I can't add it to the server's domain list is because there are external users who will need to be able to access their mail, and if I add it to the Zimbra server's domain list it will keep the mail internal and it will never go outside the office.
Please, any suggestions? This wouldn't be a problem if I could set the "From" field without having to add the domain. Zimbra should have the ability to send from a particular account - Outlook has this. For example, if I have firstname.lastname@example.com and I add email@example.com, I should be able to send from (as) email@example.com, since I've already authenticated to Gmail for that account!
Thanks again,

Mr. GRAMS. Madam President, I rise this morning to strongly oppose the amendment by my colleague and friend from Mississippi, Mr. Cochran, first for jurisdictional reasons, and most importantly because it is a seriously, I believe, flawed policy.
As chairman of the International Finance Subcommittee of the Senate Banking Committee, I object to the consideration of this matter, since it is within the jurisdiction of my subcommittee and the Committee on Banking. This is a very controversial issue and it should be heard and debated in the normal congressional process, by the proper committee of jurisdiction, not by a floor amendment with little opportunity for opponents to be heard. Many Members of this body may have already returned to their States and will not even have the opportunity to listen to the debate today.
The Senate has not had an opportunity to have a full debate on export controls in the last few years. Members need the benefit of time to fully analyze changes in an area that can have such a negative impact on U.S. companies and on U.S. jobs.
What really concerns me, Madam President, is that this amendment turns back the clock on technology. This amendment indicates it is directed at supercomputers, but computers at the 2,000-7,000 MTOPS level are not supercomputers, a point I will discuss later. The amendment reverses 2 years of effort to decontrol computers that are generally available. You will hear all sorts of talk today about how this amendment improves national security. But it does not. If the goal is to stop the sale of high performance computers to questionable end users in Russia, China, India, Pakistan, and Israel, it will stop the sale of United States computers to those end users--but it will not stop our allies from making those sales.
It is true that there are two companies currently under investigation for alleged sale without license to a questionable end user. Those investigations are still pending and should be pursued, so it seems premature to, in effect, have the Congress find them guilty. Let us let the process work. If they are guilty, they will be penalized. The U.S. companies selling computers abroad at this level are few; they are reputable and they do care about selling to questionable end users. The investigations have also had a positive effect in that they have encouraged companies to seek more validated licenses for uncertain end users. I disagree with my colleagues who believe businesses care only about the almighty dollar, and not national security.
This amendment will bring us back to the cold war days when export controls were required for computers sold in drug stores. A computer at 2,000 MTOPS, which is the level we would control, is a low-end work station which is widely available all over the world. We would establish unilateral controls on any computer over this capability. Our companies would have to obtain a validated license. Their competitors in other nations would not have that requirement. Therefore, European and Japanese companies would have a competitive edge in many, many computer sales in countries where it is important to establish a foothold as a reliable supplier to facilitate future sales. Licenses would be required for every sale above this limit, not just those to questionable end users. We want to expand markets in those countries, while protecting our national security interests, rather than handing them on a silver platter to our trading partners who will then be seen as reliable suppliers in the future.
I know the argument will be that it is not hard to get an export license and that there are statutory deadlines on agency review of license applications. I can give you quite a list of companies--many of them smaller companies--which have come close to shutting down due to export license delays, even in recent years. We cannot return to this uncertainty and bureaucratic maze. Even the larger companies will see their expenses increase as they will have to hire more high-priced attorneys to facilitate many of the licenses through the process. Export licenses to these countries do not get approved in a couple of months. Many of them take many months and earn the U.S. the designation as an unreliable supplier. While we are pursuing regulatory reform in many areas, what we are doing here is reimposing regulations we eliminated 2 years ago.
What is curious to me is an independent study commissioned in 1995 for the Departments of Commerce and Defense which determined that computers could be decontrolled to the 7,000 MTOPS level without a negative impact on national security. The Departments of State, Defense, Commerce, the intelligence agencies, and ACDA all signed off on this report, and the decontrol was made at that time to 7,000 MTOPS. The determination was made because the 2,000-7,000 range, again, Madam President, was widely available throughout the world.
But you have also heard that we are stopping the sale of supercomputers to tier 3 countries without a license. Again. Madam President, a 7,000 MTOPS computer is not a supercomputer. Supercomputers still need export licenses. I am told that the MTOPS for a supercomputer is in the 20,000 range and can go up to one million MTOPS--a far cry from 7,000.
Let's look at the level the amendment seeks to control--2,000 MTOPS. This is a low-level work station computer. By 1998, personal computers will reach this level. Also, the alpha chip available next year will be 1,000 MTOPS itself. So just two of those in a computer would qualify the computer for an export license. It is very difficult for me to justify that companies will have to jump through so many hoops just to sell fairly low-level computers. We are truly turning back the clock on technology.
I have previously made the point that we are stabbing ourselves in the foot, since computer companies in other countries do not have these controls, and therefore our efforts are futile to say the least. There are four European companies which sell computers in the 2,000-7,000 range as well as Japanese companies. We all know that they will be eager to make these sales.
What is really ironic is that the Chinese themselves have now produced a computer at the 13,000 MTOPS level. They have surpassed the 7,000 current limit the sponsor of this amendment is trying to roll back.
One argument I have heard is that Japan also requires validated licenses for its sales. Yes, that is true, but Japan's validated license system has always been a rubber stamp operation. The entire process takes 24 hours, if that. Ours can take months. And I can show you some unhappy constituents who can verify that.
Another question I have is whether it is good policy to codify export controls at certain levels rather than leaving them to regulation. Do we really want to be in a position to have to change the law each time we need to decontrol? Is the Congress really able to act as quickly and as often as needed to adjust to rapidly changing technology? I think not.
Madam President, I plan to send a second degree amendment to the amendment by my colleague from Mississippi and in a moment will ask for its immediate consideration.
But I again want to mention that this amendment would request the GAO to perform a study of the national security risks that would be involved with sales of computers in the 2,000-7,000 MTOPS range to military or nuclear end users in tier 3 countries. It would also analyze the foreign availability issue to determine whether controls at 2,000 MTOPS and above would make any sense.
Further, the amendment would require the Department of Commerce to publish in the Federal Register a list of end users which would require the filing of a validated license application, except when there is an administration finding that such publication would jeopardize sources and methods.
Madam President, this is a sincere compromise in my position as subcommittee chairman of the committee of jurisdiction over this issue, which will help us decide whether there is a need to recontrol at the 2,000 level. It is far too controversial to decide this question today, or by next Tuesday when we will vote.
I believe Commerce should be asked to publish this list and to further seek ways to work with computer companies to determine whether other end users are questionable in order to alleviate some of the uncertainty that is out there.
Madam President, let us not turn back the clock on technology. Let us make a rational national security decision that also take into account the best interests of our exporters--and the jobs that they represent.

Mr. GRAMS. So, Madam President, I send my second-degree amendment to the desk, and ask for the yeas and nays on the amendment.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will report the amendment.
The bill clerk read as follows:
The Senator from Minnesota [Mr. Grams] proposes an amendment numbered 422 to amendment No. 420.
Mr. GRAMS. Madam President, I ask unanimous consent that further reading of the amendment be dispensed with.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
The amendment is as follows:
In lieu of the matter proposed to be inserted, insert the following:
(a) In General: The Comptroller General of the United States shall conduct a study of the national security risks relating to the sale of computers with composite theoretical performance of between 2,000 and 7,000 million theoretical operations per second to end-users in Tier 3 countries. The study shall also analyze any foreign availability of computers described in the preceding sentence and the impact of such sales on United States exporters.
(b) Publication of End-User List: The Secretary of Commerce shall publish in the Federal Register a list of military and nuclear end-users of the computers described in subsection (a), except any end-user with respect to whom there is an administrative finding that such publication would jeopardize the user's sources and methods.
(c) End-User Assistance to Exporters: The Secretary of Commerce shall establish a procedure by which exporters may seek information on questionable end-users.
(d) Definition of Tier 3 Country: For purposes of this section, the term `Tier 3 country' has the meaning given such term in section 740.7 of title 15, Code of Federal Regulations.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there a sufficient second for the Senator's request for a rollcall vote?
There is a sufficient second.
The yeas and nays were ordered.
Mr. COCHRAN addressed the Chair.
The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Enzi). The Senator from Mississippi is recognized.
Mr. COCHRAN. Mr. President, I have listened carefully to the comments of my good friend from Minnesota in support of his second-degree amendment. I must say that the language of the amendment is appealing in some respects, particularly the suggestion that the General Accounting Office ought to be asked to conduct a review of this situation and the apparent risk to our national security caused by the export policies of this administration with respect to the sale of supercomputers and its technology to foreign purchasers.
There is some question in my mind about the efficacy of the last part of the amendment particularly, because in our hearings in the Governmental Affairs Committee the administration officials talked about the fact that the reason they did not publish and make available a list of end users or potential purchasers of these computers at this time was because of diplomatic considerations and the questions about whether it puts in jeopardy our intelligence-gathering capabilities and a number of other issues that concerned them enough so that they do not now make available this list even privately to exporters of supercomputers.
So to require them to publish it in the Federal Register and to make it available to the general public is probably something that ought to be reconsidered and not approved by the Senate. They should not be compelled to do that. It seems to me that the reasons they gave in our hearing for not doing it even privately was enough and sufficient in my mind to raise questions about whether we should compel them to do it publicly.
But looking back at the earlier complaints and the comments from my friend about the Cochran-Durbin amendment, let me say that this is not an effort on our part to roll back regulatory policy with respect to military end users.
It is an effort to change the procedures and to put the onus and the responsibility for determining whether a sale is permissible or consistent with national security concerns on the administration rather than on the sellers of the computers.
Computer companies do not have the capacity to make determinations on their own about the use to which the computers they are selling in the international market will be put, or the relationships between prospective purchasers and governments, particularly in the case of China or Russia. The U.S. Government, though, has the capacity, through its contacts worldwide, to do a much more reliable and accurate job of assessing whether or not someone would be a purchaser who would use these computers to enhance the lethalness of nuclear weapons or missile technology to put our own citizens at risk, the lives of Americans at risk, in a way that they would not otherwise be, but for the sale of our computer technology.
So it is for that reason and that reason alone not to prevent the sale to legitimate purchasers who will use it for civilian or other appropriate purposes. It is in those situations where there is very real concern based on knowledge that we have about the potential harmful use--harmful to our own interests--that we ought to have the power, we ought to have the process reserved to the Federal Government to prohibit that sale in those selected situations.
Right now the policy of our Government is to prohibit the sale of this category of computers if it is for the purpose of being used for a military use or sold to a military organization. It is prohibited under current law, under current regulations. So the suggestion that the Senator makes that we are imposing new restraint on trade in this amendment is not true insofar as it concerns the sales for military purposes.
Current policy simply says to the exporters, if you know it is going to be used by a military organization, you cannot sell it--2,000 to 7,000 MTOPS speed computers cannot be sold under current U.S. law and under current regulations. So this amendment that we are offering does not impose a new definition that restrains the sale of computers. It simply says that the Commerce Department is going to give you the OK. Once you tell us who you will sell it to, they will tell you whether it is permissible or not. That is all we are saying.
The current policy is it is up to the exporter to decide whether this is a military end use or an end user. If they sell it to someone they knew was a military end user, they violate the law right now. The problem is a lot of exporters, the people in the business of manufacturing and marketing supercomputers, do not have the capacity to make this determination.
Also, there are motivations that are different. They are in the business of making money. They are in the business of selling as many as they can. The stockholders of these companies want to see sales go up, and so when there is a close question--we are not questioning anybody's motives here today--but where there is a close question and you really do not know for sure, the temptation is to go on and make the sale, particularly if there is really no hard evidence there.
Now, there have already been those cases where there is enough evidence that people have sold computers to end users who are military organizations or who are involved in nuclear weapons programs, that they are now under investigations by a Federal grand jury. This is serious business. That could have been prohibited, maybe, if you had the Commerce Department saying, `OK, it is fine, go ahead and make this sale. Here is your license.' Then the civilian marketer is off the hook. The Commerce Department makes the decision. That is the issue.
Do we leave it up to the honor system that has been developed by the Clinton administration, which is not working--46, we thought it was 46, but it turned out to be 47 as a result of the hearing we held of new information of these computers that are in the hands of Chinese entities and we do not know what they are being used for. Or if our Government knows, they cannot tell us in a public hearing session. We have to go behind closed doors to find out what they really know.
From what we can talk about right now, we know that this policy ought to be changed, and for the business of `this is not the right place, this is not the right time,' and the jurisdictional question--well, the Commerce Department has jurisdiction over commerce issues, the Banking Committee has some jurisdiction, our Governmental Affairs Committee has jurisdiction over compliance with nonproliferation treaty provisions. We are constantly monitoring the question of proliferation of weapons of mass destruction in our committee, and we came upon this information through the exercise of our oversight responsibilities.
It is a matter of some urgency, in our view, that this matter be addressed, and we think the U.S. Senate will agree with that. I think we have suggested a very modest but a very necessary first step in the process of reform of our policies over exporting computers. This administration came into office having made a promise to the computer industry that they were going to make some dramatic changes in the rules so that they
could sell more computers in the international marketplace. That is fine. That is fine. But they have adopted a policy that is not working. It is not working to protect our national security interests, which is important. It is working in that it has helped sell a lot more computers and a lot of people have gotten rich under this new policy. I do not have a problem with that. No complaints are being made about that. But it was supposed to be a policy that both enhanced our ability to compete in the international computer market but at the same time protected our national security interests. It worked on the one hand, but it has failed on the other.
We now see the Atomic Energy Minister in Russia, whose name is Mikhailov, bragging in a public forum about the new supercomputer technology they have bought from the United States that is 10 times more powerful and sophisticated than anything they have had before. This agency is in the business of modernizing the nuclear weapons that the Russians have.
We have this Nunn-Lugar builddown program supposedly trying to dismantle these weapons of mass destruction, and we are very actively involved with the Russians in that regard. But at the same time, to be selling them the technology to make the weapons, they are more accurate, more lethal, capable of destroying potential adversaries like the United States, it seems we are working at cross-purposes with ourselves. We are trying to work to keep down the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, and here we are, in this instance, contributing to the proliferation of more lethal nuclear weapon systems. Certainly that is true in the case of Russia and China. We know that. We know that.
So what do we do about it? Nothing? Have some hearings? Have the GAO spend another year looking at things? We agree GAO ought to look at this. We are asking them to do that, too. They have already begun some work at our request. I agree with the Senator that we need to do more, but to just say the Senate should not act on this suggestion, this is a modest first step. It is not a suggestion for comprehensive reform at this time. We need more information. We need to do more work to decide on the details of a comprehensive, workable policy than is on the books now and administered by our Commerce Department.
So, but for the provisions of the amendment offered by the Senator that I have suggested caused me some concern, I would like to be able to support the amendment so that we could then go on and vote to approve the amendment as amended, but I cannot do that at this point. I hope the Senate will not agree to the amendment.
I know under the announcement that was made earlier today on behalf of the majority leader, there will be no votes on amendments today. They will be set aside and we will come to them later. So there will not be a vote today. Knowing that there will not be, I will not push the issue any further, except to suggest to the Senate that this is an issue that ought to be debated, considered carefully, and we ought to vote for this amendment that I have offered with the cosponsorship of Senator Durbin.
Incidentally, I asked the other day, after we had described the amendment, that Senator Abraham be added as a cosponsor. I have now been asked to seek unanimous consent that Senator Lugar be added as a cosponsor. I make that request at this time, Mr. President.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
[Page: S6024]
Mr. THURMOND. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that Janice Nielsen, a legislative fellow with Senator Craig's office, be granted floor privileges during debate on S. 936, the Defense Authorization Act.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
Mr. GRAMS. Mr. President, I want to say I appreciate the remarks of my colleague from Mississippi, Senator Cochran. We hope to be able to work with him over the weekend and hope to come to an agreement and compromise with him by next week. Like he said, hopefully we can vote on this at that time.
I yield the floor.
Mr. THURMOND. I suggest the absence of a quorum.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will call the roll.
The assistant legislative clerk proceeded to call.
Mr. GRAMM. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that we may move from this quorum call into morning business for 20 minutes.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection to calling off the quorum?
Mr. LEVIN. I object.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. Objection is heard.
The clerk will continue to call the roll.
The bill clerk continued the call of the roll.
Mr. GRAMM. Mr. President, making two separate requests, I ask unanimous consent that the order for the quorum call be rescinded.
The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Frist). Without objection, it is so ordered.
Mr. GRAMM. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that I can proceed for 20 minutes as in morning business.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
Mr. INHOFE. Will the Senator yield for a unanimous-consent request?
Mr. LEVIN. Reserving the right to object, would the Senator add to that, that following morning business that we go back into an automatic quorum call?
Mr. GRAMM. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that following my speech, if it ever begins, that we go back into the quorum call, and I also ask unanimous consent that, without losing the floor, I might yield to Senator Inhofe so that he might get a staff member on the floor.
The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.

Plane overshoots runway at Kalibo airport
MANILA, Philippines (UPDATE) - A plane carrying more than 140 people overshot a runway at an airport serving one of the Philippines' most popular tourist destinations, although no-one was injured, aviation officials said.
The Airphil Express Airbus A320 plane from Manila went off the runway after landing at Kalibo airport on the central island of Panay, civil aviation authority spokeswoman Floramel Joy Fongsong told Agence France-Presse.
"The plane overshot the runway by 60 meters (200 feet)," Fongsong said.
The Kalibo airport, which is used as a gateway to the nearby island of Boracay, was temporarily closed until the plane was towed out, she told AFP, adding that no one was hurt in the incident.
The plane was carrying 138 passengers, including about 10 Chinese and South Korean tourists, said Airphil Express senior vice-president Freddie Herrera.
The plane, which is less than a year old, was not damaged, he added.
The cause of the incident is still being investigated, the airline and aviation authorities said.
Airphil Express, originally called Air Philippines, is a sister company of national flag-carrier Philippine Airlines, offering budget, no-frills flights.

Several minutes after No. 2 Oregon had wrapped up a 59-14 win over Tennessee on Saturday in Autzen Stadium, UO coach Mark Helfrich finally got a chance to check out the stat sheet.
It didn't take him long to digest the numbers, or offer an assessment.
"I'll take that," Helfrich said during his postgame press conference, drawing laughter from the room.
The Ducks dismantled the Volunteers to the tune of 687 yards of offense, and held the Vols to 316. Tennessee entered the day tied for first nationally with nine takeaways, but Oregon made it through a third straight game without a turnover.
Oregon wore down the traditional SEC power on both lines of scrimmages, and was faster in the open field. The Ducks came into the day as four-touchdown favorites, yet won by seven.
And yet, there were nits to be picked, by those so inclined. Oregon had eight penalties, one that negated a long kickoff return to open the game and another that took a touchdown off the board. The Ducks missed a field goal, and were slow to establish a rhythm offensively.
"It's not going to be perfect," Helfrich said. "We're not going to win 107-0 every time, with no issues of any kind. I thought our guys did a great job of responding to moderate issues, and kept playing."
On the one hand, it's understandable the Ducks might be exasperated by such criticism, after improving to 3-0 by an aggregate score of 184-27. On the other hand, Oregon is No. 2 in the nation, and being assessed for its potential as a national championship contender, not just any old Pac-12 team.
"We don't get frustrated," UO quarterback Marcus Mariota said. "We understand that sometimes we'll get slowed up a little bit. But once we find a rhythm, we're pretty good."
This week the Ducks have a bye. They'll practice on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, looking to tighten up certain issues but also to get their regulars some much-deserved rest, and to get young players more practice reps.
Among the ongoing factors to watch, Helfrich said, is the kicking game. Alejandro Maldonado missed an early 37-yard attempt Saturday, while freshman Matt Wogan connected from 38, and also had three touchbacks on his six kickoffs.
There are issues to address, yes. But the Ducks won't be consumed by them, after showing far more to be encouraged by than disappointed with through three games.
"We're going to make a few mistakes," Helfrich said. "It's how you react to those mistakes that's going to define you in the long term."

Andrew Gilligan continues to beat his drum on the unsuitability of Lutfur Rahman for the post of Mayor of Tower Hamlets drawing this time on reports that Roshonara Choudhry, the woman found guilty of the attempted murder of Stephen Timms MP yesterday, was 'self-radicalised' listening to online lectures by Anwar Al-Awlaki.
Gilligan writes,"Some of the latest coverage has noted that Awlaki "lived in London" for a time – but with only one exception, yesterday's Sun, the media has steered surprisingly clear of his close links with that well-known home of tolerance and moderation, the East London Mosque, and those self-proclaimed "democratic Muslims," the Islamic Forum of Europe (IFE), who control the mosque."
It's a bit of a stretch for the rational mind to lump the lot together and conclude that "There could be no clearer illustration of why the East London Mosque and the IFE should be beyond the pale of democratic politics. Yet these are the people who provided backing for the man who is now mayor of Tower Hamlets, Lutfur Rahman," as Gilligan does, but let's indulge him for a minute.
His argument appears to rest on the following:
- Awlaki spoke via video link at a conference held at the London Muslim Centre in 2009 but which was hosted by another organisation which hired out the premises for the occasion.
- Awlaki gave a sermon in person at the East London Mosque on December 26, 2003
- Azad Ali of Islamic Forum Europe has expressed admiration for Awlaki in the past.
The actions of Roshonara Choudhry in lunging at her local MP, Stephen Timms, during a surgery meeting and the claim that her radicalization was the product of Awlaki's online lectures therefore, Gilligan argues, stands as proof of the dangerous subversive elements at play in the London Muslim Centre, East London Mosque and Islamic Forum Europe.
ELM/LMC have been here once before in terms of accusations of "radicalism" (read: terrorism sympathisers) leveled against the institutions when newspapers reported on Umar Farouk Abdulmuttalab having visited the centre on three occasions, presumably for the daily prayers.
At the time, ELM/LMC secured an apology from the Sunday Express, reproduced below:
"Our article of December 27, 2009 "Jet bomb ordered by 9/11 spiritual leader" stated that Anwar al Awlaki, the Yemen based cleric said to have inspired the failed plot to blow up a plane bound for Detroit, had spoken at the "radical" East London Mosque (ELM).
"We would like to make clear that ELM works tirelessly to promote religious and social tolerance and to oppose violent extremism in all its forms. ELM tells us that it was not aware of any credible allegation of violent extremism against Anwar al Awlaki prior to the single occasion on which he spoke at the London Muslim Centre (LMC) at an event organised by an external organisation. ELM does not promote or support Anwar al Awlaki. ELM would not now permit Anwar al Awlaki to speak at ELM or the LMC."
The fact that individual Muslim speakers, like Awlaki, have gone to advocate more strident views than they have previously articulated and that their audiences have not traveled with them, has not stopped particular lobbies (the Centre for Social Cohesion and Policy Exchange are two Osama Saeed, a previous target on the same subject, mentions) from slinging this mud unearthed from lectures and blogposts of yesteryear.
Saeed on Rolled up Trousers is right to have observed that "It's one of the sad hazards of being Muslim that agreeing with someone at one point in time will come back and bite you years later, and even after it is clear that the subject in question has changed his views."
The blowback Saeed refers to concerns one of his own blogs on Anwar Al-Awlaki (link broken) and the latter's journey to radicalization following his incarceration in Yemen in 2006 for 18 months before being released without charge. The BBC in its profile of Awlaki states:
"Since his release, Mr Awlaki's message has been overtly supportive of violence, railing against the US-led invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq, and the killing of Muslims in covert operations in Pakistan and Yemen."
A view shared by Moazzem Begg on Cageprisoners who writes:
"A cursory look at Awlaki's pre-incarceration lectures would clearly show just why he became so popular. He was not a radical preacher of hate by any stretch of the imagination. Whilst teaching Islamic principles in an erudite and articulate way he neither shied away from talking about the Islamic concept of jihad (in military terms) nor from condemning the September 11 attacks and terrorism in general."
Useful to note that the CfSC and PX tradition of establishing questionable causal relationships and shoddy research continues in the blog postings of Gilligan and the tenuous links he attempts to establish between Awlaki, Choudhry, the ELM/LMC and IFE and the mayoral election of Lutfur Rahman.

By Nitro and All Change
We commissioned three pairs of poets and composers to work with different community groups and to write and compose a new piece that was performed live and then filmed and broadcast live online via our website. We worked with a wonderful local (to Islington, where we are) community arts company called All Change – look them up online and see what they're getting up to.
We chose some of the best artists around: Alex Wilson, Robert Mitchell, Arun Ghosh, Yemisi Blake, HKB FiNN and Zena Edwards.
Our community groups covered a wide range of experiences and type: from day centres for the elderly to refugee groups and young people's projects. The diversity of the community groups was reflected in the work produced.
A LIVE STREAM of the performance took place from this page, just below! We increased audience numbers 100% this way. Viewers could also comment about the show via our live chat room.

Charlotte tops UTSA on Alumni Night
The sun disappeared over the tree line adjacent to Transamerica Field as the Charlotte 49ers women's soccer team (7-4, 2-1) played host to the Roadrunners from the University of Texas at San Antonio (2-9-1, 1-1-1).
It was Alumni Night in the Queen City as the 49ers welcomed back about thirty former players for the game, including former standout Hailey Beam who had her jersey retired at halftime.
The first half of the game saw little action from both sides as only seven total shots were attempted – four for the 49ers and three for the Roadrunners. The only corner of the half was attempted by Maddie Kiebel for the 49ers.
The second half saw a little more pace, especially for the 49ers. Freshman Rebecca Beatty was able to get the 49ers on the board with her first career goal coming in the 63rd minute of action.
Charlotte kept up the intensity as Amanda Jones was able to catch the Roadrunner keeper, Bubba Makela, out of position and sent one to the back of the net from 40-yards out in the 71st minute to give the 49ers a two-goal advantage.
The two goals were all that was needed as the 49ers hung on for the 2-0 victory.
Annika McHenry saw her second start of the season in goal for the 49ers as Alex Kubrick is still sidelined due to an injury. McHenry and the 49er defense held UTSA to only seven shots on the night with only four of them on target.
After the game, Head Coach John Cullen had some words on the team's performance.
"I feel like we've got three great goalkeepers. We're very blessed as a program to have that quality of keepers," said Cullen.
"Annika stepped in tonight. She knew the importance of being solid and what we need in that position."
The 49ers will try to string together a couple wins in conference play with their next match coming at Transamerica Field against Middle Tennessee State. The game is scheduled for Sunday, Oct. 6 at 1 p.m.

AFI Fest 2003: Quality International Films Invade Hollywood
by Jonny Leahan
The AFI Los Angeles International Film Festival, held at the sleek ArcLight Hollywood Theaters from November 6-16, completed another successful turn as L.A.'s longest-running fest, reporting record attendance for its 134 films representing 42 countries. AFI Fest 2003, which boasted 26 world premieres and 24 North American premieres, struck a chord with festival-goers as it managed to combine strong international programming with well-run events in a highly organized environment.
The festival opened with the North American premiere of the British film "Calendar Girls," directed by Nigel Cole, starring Helen Mirren and Julie Walters. The pair play Chris and Annie, respectively, two best friends living in the Yorkshire Dales who are forced to cope with the death of Annie's husband from leukemia. Based on a true story, Chris rallies support from members of her local Women's Institute, convincing them to pose nude for a fundraising calendar, and a fascinating and funny tale unfolds as the middle-aged gals deal with their unexpected time in the spotlight.
Desperately trying to avoid the spotlight is Michael Caine's character in "The Statement," which had its world premiere at the festival to mixed reviews. Canadian director Norman Jewison ("Moonstruck," "The Thomas Crown Affair") is working with admittedly difficult material as he tells the story of Pierre Brossard, a man never brought to trial for the war crimes he committed in his youth. Although Caine is excellent as Brossard, the film occasionally suffers from poor pacing and forced tension, making it a political thriller that never really quite thrills.
Real-life politics seem to work better, at least in the case of "The Fog of War," Errol Morris' documentary about Robert S. McNamara, who served as Kennedy's Secretary of Defense in the '60s but remained a player on the world stage. Structured as 11 lessons from his life, this unsettling but compelling film effortlessly weaves together countless hours of interviews with rare footage, and even includes taped conversations between McNamara and Presidents Kennedy and Johnson.
Another noteworthy documentary was Paul Kell's world premiere of "Five Sides of a Coin," which tells the story of hip-hip through the eyes of those who lived it -- including Run DMC, Mix Master Mike, Jurassic 5, and Kool Keith -- culling clips from vast amounts of material. "Whittling 76 hours of footage down to 70 minutes was the greatest challenge," Kell told indieWIRE. "If I could sit down and watch the film and not feel uncomfortable with anything, then I knew that it was done. It took me over two years of editing to get to that point."
Apparently, the meticulous editing was worth the effort, as the film screened to an enthusiastic crowd. Kell seemed thrilled with the results, not just from his screening but of AFI Fest as a whole. "I don't think I've had as much fun at a festival before," he said, "and that is because of the people who made it possible. Everyone on the staff went all out to make sure it was as good as it could have been, and they should be extremely proud of what they accomplished."
The festival did especially well programming the international shorts section. With four programs in competition, a total of 36 carefully chosen films were screened, including David Vadiveloo's "Bush Bikes." The fanciful Australian short explores the inventive world of Aboriginal kids and their homemade bikes, fashioned out of all manner of found objects, as they find ways to get around the Outback in style.
Another engaging short was Philip Zlotorynski's "Walkentalk," which tells the story of a guy so obsessed with Christopher Walken that he can only communicate using lines from Walken's films. Doing a dead-on imitation of the actor, Neil Hopkins quickly won over the audience in what could otherwise have been an annoying exercise in Walken movie trivia.
In Rocky Morton's comedy "The M Word," a five-minute short from the U.K., two ambitious executives hammer out the terms of their relationship using every business phrase in the book. In their case, however, it seems that "merger" is the only word they can muster as they agree to spend their lives together in holy matrimony.
It was the German short entitled "Fragile," however, which garnered the most attention in this category. Directed by Sikander Goldau, the 20-minute mini-masterpiece tells the story of a woman visiting her loved ones to say goodbye. Festival-goers seemed to agree, since "Fragile" won the AFI Fest audience award for best short film.
The audience award for best documentary went to "Double Dare," directed by Amanda Micheli, while the audience award for best feature film went to "In America," directed by Jim Sheridan. The grand jury prize for international short was given to "Deep Silence," directed by Gustavo Loza, with an honorable mention going to "American Made," directed by Sharat Raju. The grand jury prize in the international documentary competition was awarded to "Beah: A Black Woman Speaks," directed by Lisa Gay Hamilton, while the grand jury prize for international feature went to "Old, New, Borrowed and Blue," directed by Natasha Arthy.
One of the most compelling aspects of AFI Fest was the Made in Germany section, which showcased 10 features from some of the most progressive voices in German cinema today. Even Tomy Wigand's award-winning family film "The Flying Classroom" showed true vision with its captivating story of a troublemaker named Jonathan. After being expelled from eight boarding schools, Jonathan finds his latest roommates in their secret hiding place, an old railway car, where they discover a mysterious script for a play. When they decide to put on their own misguided version of the play for the school's Christmas show, they set off a troublesome series of events that connects the formerly divided Germany and their teacher with the play's original author.
The biggest stir, however, was caused in the Latin Cinema section -- by Rodrigo Bellott's "Sexual Dependency," which had people literally fighting to get into the screenings. When the first two sold out, turning away more than a hundred people, the festival added a third screening that was oversold as well. The film skillfully weaves together five story lines, taking place in both Bolivia and the U.S., while being told in two languages. As if that weren't complex enough, the entire production uses a split-screen format, perfectly symbolizing the duality -- cultural, sexual, and moral -- that engulfs the characters' lives.
"I think the biggest challenge in getting the film made was finding any production company or financiers that would believe in a project with things that up to this point everybody thought were liabilities," Bellott told indieWIRE. "It's a split screen movie... there is the language barrier... then the no name actors. Even independent producers seemed to think that the only way to get people to see a movie is if there is some recognizable face."
With the success of the movie overseas, those faces are becoming more recognizable every day, and now it seems as though Bellott and his cast will have a repeat performance on U.S. territory. "In the three days after the screenings we have distributors fighting over the film, so I'm more than happy with the response," said Bellott. "It's amazing, and I think AFI Fest has a treasured spot in my heart right now."
The festival closed with an equally strong selection, the world premiere of "Monster," directed by Patty Jenkins. The film chronicles the unsettling story of prostitute and serial killer Aileen Wuornos (played to disturbing perfection by Charlize Theron) who was executed last year in Florida for murdering several of her johns. When the suicidal Aileen meets Selby Ward, a troubled lesbian played by Christina Ricci, they fall in some sort of love. With her desire to kill men escalating, the police eventually close in on Aileen, and Selby is forced to betray the woman she loves in order to save herself.
Despite the dark subject matter of the closing night film, the party that followed was anything but depressing. Held at the historic Henry Ford Theater on Hollywood Boulevard, celebrities and industry folk alike enjoyed cocktails and music while celebrating the close of another festival. AFI Fest has truly come into its own, and has grown into an important showcase for both international cinema and independent film in a town that can always use a little more outside influence.

Daytime manpower to answer calls may be the one weakness for Lauderdale County volunteer fire departments.
At a work session of the board of supervisors Monday, fire coordinator Clarence Butler said the solution may be hiring some paid employees to man the firehouses during daylight hours.
"Of course, we already know that manpower during the daytime is very, very low. We are going to have to look at the possibility of hiring some people for daytime response," Butler said.
Butler suggested the paid firefighters could work from 8:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. five days a week when the manpower shortage is most acute. The supervisors are considering the proposal.

The money behind March Madness is massive. Just how massive is up for debate.
Last March, approximately $289 million was bet on basketball, both pro and college, at Nevada sports books. Nevada Gaming Commission does not track wagers on college basketball separately, but, for some perspective of the NCAA Tournament's impact, the $289 million bet on basketball last March nearly doubled ($156 million) what was bet on hoops last February.
Most industry experts expect the overall handle bet on this year's NCAA Tournament to exceed the record $98.8 million that was wagered legally on the Super Bowl in Nevada. That's still only a fraction of what will be on the line worldwide when the Big Dance tips off.
Pregame.com's RJ Bell, according to the Associated Press, estimates that $12 billion is expected to be wagered globally on the NCAA Tournament.
Bell says his global estimate is based on the Nevada Gaming Commission's numbers, which he then extrapolates "based on the consensus assumptions from my network of experts." Bell attempts to quantify how much of the money bet on basketball in March and early April in Nevada is on the NCAA Tournament. He also tries to gauge how much is wagered in bracket pools and with underground bookies and offshore sports books. It's a daunting task with minimal verified data to apply.
Bell acknowledges some "nuances" to his formula. But, really, there have to be some big assumptions made when attempting to put a dollar figure on a global industry that includes a significant unregulated market. Underground bookies don't readily hand over their financial records. Neither do most of the countless offshore sports books that illegally serve U.S. bettors.
Still, Bell believes his estimate helps educate the mainstream media about the enormity of the sports betting industry.
"In a perfect world, we'd have transparent, certified data on worldwide sports betting handle. Unfortunately, we are far from that," Bell said in an email to The Linemakers on Sporting News. "So we in the industry have a choice between calculating our best estimate, or not talking about the world outside of Nevada – which by many accounts is more than 100 times bigger than Nevada alone.
"I feel as if sports betting would be done a disservice if 99 percent of sports betting were ignored by the mainstream media. Specifically, such worldwide estimates are the only way for the media to understand the true size and significance of sports betting."
Critics say it's impossible to prove or disprove the accuracy of Bell's estimate. Todd Fuhrman, a former sports book analyst at Caesars Palace with a degree in international economics from Wesleyan University, says he doesn't attempt to quantify the worldwide betting handle on any event.
"I think it's important to recognize there's a ton of gambling not only on the NCAA Tournament but other sports that takes place outside of Nevada," said Fuhrman, currently an analyst for DonBest.com. "The danger's in extrapolating figures without key drivers outside of the (Gaming Control Board's) concrete monthly figures is creating an environment where the integrity of all data points regarding race and sports moving forward can be drawn into question."
Bell tweeted Monday night that LVH SuperBook executive director Jay Kornegay estimates betting handle on the NCAA Tournament will be 30 percent more than what was bet on the Super Bowl. Bell then tweeted an estimate from veteran Vegas bookmaker Jimmy Vaccaro saying that worldwide handle on the tournament is 200 times greater than Nevada's.
He followed by posting: "Using those expert estimates: worldwide March Madness handle around $26 billion (I feel conservative with my $12B estimate!)"
But the $14 billion difference between Bell's and the Vegas bookmakers' estimates show just how difficult it is to put an accurate dollar figure on how much is bet worldwide.
The vast majority of the amount wagered on the NCAA Tournament, of course, comes from the U.S. European interest in college basketball is minimal.
"To be fair and honest, it will be very small," Alex Donahue, a spokesperson for UK sports book Ladbrokes, told The Linemakers in an email. "The Super Bowl is still the only 'big ticket' American sport over here for UK bettors."
The Linemakers did communicate with a representative of one of the most well-known offshore sports books active in the U.S. market. The representative said the total amount wagered on the NCAA Tournament is in the "10's of millions" but indicated that it is less than what is bet in Nevada. He added the book handles about the same amount it does on the Super Bowl during the first full four days of the tournament.
One thing is for sure, there's plenty of money behind the Madness.

Investigative Journalist and Novelist Daniel Alarcón Named Assistant Professor of Broadcast Journalism
June 25, 2014

New York, NY — Columbia Journalism School today announced that Daniel Alarcón, an accomplished investigative journalist and novelist, has been named Assistant Professor of Broadcast Journalism.
"We are thrilled that Daniel will join our broadcast faculty," said Academic Dean Bill Grueskin. "During this time of such great change in our profession, it is fitting that we bring someone with Daniel's creativity and innovative vision to our program."
Alarcón began working as a journalist in 2004, first in print for Latin American outlets such as Etiqueta Negra, and later for American and European publications including Harper's, The New York Times Magazine, El País, and Granta, where he was named a Contributing Editor in 2010. In 2012, he co-founded Radio Ambulante, a groundbreaking Spanish-language podcast, the first of its kind covering Latin America with long-form narrative radio journalism. Under his leadership, Radio Ambulante has reported stories from all over the region, and partnered with outlets like Public Radio International and BBC Mundo to reach audiences across the U.S. and worldwide.
"It's an honor," said Alarcón. "I am excited to work with Columbia Journalism students and help them approach their stories in creative ways. This, as I see it, is the essential work of a teacher. Journalism — whether in print or in sound — is about telling a story in the fairest, truest, and most compelling manner possible."
Alarcón's long-form journalism has included deeply reported pieces focusing mainly on Peru, the country where he was born, with topics ranging from the rise of the new nationalist left, the book piracy industry, and the emerging democracy inside Lima's most notorious prison, Lurigancho. This last piece, "All Politics is Local", was published in Harper's in 2012, and was a finalist for a National Magazine Award that year.
Alarcón began his career as a fiction writer. His first short story, "City of Clowns," appeared in The New Yorker in 2003, and HarperCollins published his first collection, War by Candlelight, two years later. His first novel, Lost City Radio, was published in 2007, named a Best Book of the Year by critics across the country, and eventually translated into more than a dozen languages. At Night We Walk in Circles, his most recent novel, was a finalist for the 2014 PEN/Faulkner Foundation Award.
Alarcón graduated from Columbia University in 1999 with a BA in Anthropology; he earned an MFA in Creative Writing from the University of Iowa in 2004. In 2012-13, Alarcón joined the University of California Berkeley's Graduate Journalism School as an Investigative Reporting Fellow.

CADIZ - The common word thrown around at most Harrison Central boys' basketball practices has been "compete."
That's will be the moniker for the 2013-14 Huskies, who begin their season at River View.
"Our competitiveness will definitely be a strength," said Huskies coach Justin Clifford, who is embarking on his fifth season at the helm.
"These kids have all competed well and they're doing it every day in practice."
While the competitive nature of the Huskies won't be questioned, there is a lack of experience to an extent.
Clifford had to a double take when he walked into practice for the first time earlier this month.
For the first time since he's been in charge of the program, Nick Pelegreen, Rashaen Mitchell and Fletcher Watt were not anywhere to be found. The backbone of the Huskies program has graduated after brilliant prep careers, including a senior season that resulted in a 16-8 record.
The Huskies will be a relatively deep club, playing no fewer than 10 guys most nights.
Harrison Central returns two starters from a club that was bounced in the sectional by Indian Creek.
Junior point guard Austin Kowalski (5-foot-9) will be the leader on both ends of the floor for the Huskies.
The other returning starter is junior Kalub Mitchell (5-10) who will be in the post.
He was a lock-down defender, which Clifford wants to continue, but he'll also need to take more shots.
Senior David Miser (6-3) will be another on the interior who will be looked upon for rebounding and scoring.
Senior Dalton Rutter (5-9), who Clifford thinks the sky is the limit for, is expected to have a big season. He's a solid ballhandler and a talented defender.
Senior Nate Olmstead (5-10) will be one of the top perimeter shooters for the Huskies.
Senior Cody Evans (5-10) is another adept perimeter shooter, who Clifford said "has never met a shot he didn't like."
Sophomore Dustin Redish (5-10) is another solid defender, but Clifford needs him to cut down on his aggressive to the point where he's not hampered by foul trouble.
Junior Cory Yoho (6-1), sophomore Brandon Mitchell (5-9) and Tison Johnson (5-9) will round out the varsity rotation. Sophomore Brice Walrath (6-3) is another who could work his way into the rotation.
Ticketed for junior varsity action are junior Josh Christian (5-9), sophomore Isaac Arnold (6-4).
A large freshman class working to get into the mix are: Zach Henry, Kyle Roberts, Jacob Barr, Bobby Taylor, Grant Sproull, Tyler Reddish and Hunter Sloan.
"I think we're going to be a fun team to watch," Clifford said. "I know our guys are going to compete well.
"Realistically, if you look at our schedule, I think we can compete with anyone. That doesn't mean we'll win them all or anything, but I think we can give ourselves a chance to win the basketball game."
The Huskies have made a few minor changes to the schedule. They've added home-and-home games with Beaver Local and Shadyside. They'll also play Weir once.
"It's a good schedule for us," Clifford said. "We want to play local schools that have good programs and we think we've done that with the teams we've added."
The one major change for the Huskies comes in the postseason. Harrison Central is in Division III after spending the last several seasons in Division II.
"We weren't really surprised when the numbers came out," Clifford said. "We're always on the border. We go from being one of the smallest Division II schools to being one of the biggest Division III schools.
"It really doesn't matter though because you're going to have to beat someone good regardless of what division you're playing in."
