SIBENIK, CROATIA – Rutgers rising junior Cappie Pondexter (Chicago, IL) scored two points and handed out three assists as the U.S. defeated South Korea, 95-46, in pool play at the FIBA World Championship for Young Women July 26 in Sibenik, Croatia.
Pondexter, a 5-9 guard and one of the Americans' co-captains, played 14 minutes and shot 1-of-4 from the floor. The American's jumped out to a 30-10 in the opening stages of the second quarter and never looked back. USA shot 54.2 percent from the floor and held a 51-11 advantage on the glass.
The Americans (2-0), the champion of the FIBA Americas Region, will next play Brazil July 27 at 4:30 in the third of five pool-play games. The medal rounds begin Aug. 1, culminating in the gold-medal game Aug. 3. All times are local to Croatia, and are five hours earlier than the Eastern Time Zone.
The most experienced member of this year's American team, Pondexter is spending her fourth consecutive summer as a member of the USA Basketball squad. As a co-captain and the team's starting point guard last year, she helped lead the U.S. to the gold medal at the 2002 World Championship For Young Women Qualifying Tournament in Ribeirao Preto, Brazil. She led the tournament with 6.5 assists per game, adding 8.8 points, 2.5 rebounds and 2.5 steals per contest. She won a bronze medal as a member of the 2001 U.S. Junior National Team which competed at the FIBA World Junior Championships in Prague, Czech Republic. Following her junior season at John Marshall High School, Pondexter was named to the 2000 U.S. Junior World Championship Qualifying Team, helping the Americans win a gold medal in Mardelplata, Argentina.
Pondexter led Rutgers with 18.3 points and 4.9 assists per game during her rookie campaign, adding 5.1 rebounds per contest to rank second for the Scarlet Knights. An honorable-mention Associated Press and Kodak/WBCA All-American as well as the 2003 BIG EAST Rookie of the Year, she also was the first rookie in conference history to earn a spot on the All-BIG EAST First Team. One of 12 finalists for the Nancy Lieberman Award, which honors the top point guard in Division I women's basketball, Pondexter also was a member of the BIG EAST All-Tournament Team.
The Scarlet Knights, led by Pondexter, engineered the most dramatic turnaround in Division I this past season, improving from 9-20 in 2001-2002 to 21-8 and a trip to the 2003 NCAA Tournament's second round.

Workers Comp Corner: Scared by things that go bump on the jobOctober 21,2013Its that time of year.
Ghosts seem to appear around every corner. Witches on broomsticks fly thought the night sky. Haunted houses and hayrides fill the countryside. Its time for all of those things that make Halloween in Vermont, a fun fright-fest every year.
During Halloween people expect to be surprised, spooked or scared. However, in everyday business, people dont like surprises. Business owners dont like to be spooked. Yet, there is one aspect of workers compensation that frightens employers no matter what time of year it is.
The company receives a call from its insurance broker. When the call is done, the business owner is white as a ghost. This was the call where the company is told that workers compensation premiums have gone up. That is never a good call, especially when the cost is much more than anticipated. The business wonders why this has happened and struggles to determine how to make up the difference in the annual budget projections.
There are a number of steps an employer can take to avoid this situation.
A company must be proactive and look ahead. All businesses should know the date of the insurance renewal. Once they know that date the company can work backwards from that point and put a plan in place.
The business should create a plan with the information potential insurance carriers will review before setting the premium. This will include some basic information on the business.
The company must know the total payroll for the business. That is a key figure for the calculation of premium. The company should also do their best to forecast whether it is expected that there will be an increase or decrease in workers over the coming year. An increase in workers will mean a larger payroll and therefore a higher premium. A lower payroll will mean a decrease in premium dollars.
The business should know what the classification is that is used for the employees. This is another important piece of information as every classification has a different rate. That rate corresponds with the actuarial determination of how likely it is for a person in that class of workers to get hurt and how severe injuries are likely to be. For instance, the premium for a clerical workers workers compensation insurance may be 30 cents on every $100 of payroll, while a landscaper premium may be $4.56 for every $100 of payroll. The companys insurance agent can assist in determining both the classification of the employees at the company and the current rate for the classification code.
The business must also, well in advance of the renewal date, work collaboratively with its insurance agent to determine how the insurance companies will view the claims experience of the company. This usually involves an analysis of the number of workers compensation claims a company has incurred over the past three years and a review of the severity of those claims. If a company has an average experience, that is expressed as with a number one. If a company has more claims than average, then the number will be higher than the number one. If a company has more severe claims than the average company in its classification, then the number will also be great than the number one. If a company has fewer claims, or less severe claims, the number will be less than one. A company that has a higher claims experience pays more for their insurance then a company that has a lesser claims experience. This is arguably the only time that a business owner wants to strive to be below average.
A company that works collaboratively with its broker has the information at hand to avoid being spooked or scared when the bill shows up, whether the invoice is delivered by a ghostly ghoul, or a witch on a broomstick.

Windies star blasts legend Viv
Denesh Ramdin made his second Test hundred against England at Edgbaston in the thirst Test, but did not celebrate in the usual style.
Instead of raising his bat or pumping his fist, Ramdin yanked a piece of paper out of his pocket and shook it meaningfully towards the commentary boxes.
"YEH VIV TALK NAH," it said. The scrawled note appeared to be aimed at criticism made by the great West Indian Viv Richards who had remarked after the second Test at Trent Bridge that Ramdin's career had deteriorated markedly.
Ramdin's ability to respond when
riled rather proved Richards' point about under-achievement.
It followed Kevin Pietersen's criticism of TV commentator Nick Knight on Twitter, which resulted in KP being fined by England.

When it comes to the U.S. Defense Department's Joint Information Environment (JIE), it's best to toss out old thinking about information technology programs.
"The JIE is not a program," David DeVries, deputy chief information officer for information enterprise, Defense Department, stressed. DeVries oversees the effort to tie together the vast information technology resources of the military, providing crucial information to warfighters "at the point where they need it."
DeVries delivered the opening keynote address at the AFCEA SOLUTIONS Series-George Mason University Symposium, "Critical Issues in C4I."
The JIE, he said, encompasses work going on simultaneously in the realms of data center consolidation, identity and access management, and mobile. In the area of mobile, DeVries told the conference that part of making the JIE work is realizing that such devices must be managed, and policies must be set to maximize their value to the warfighters.
The SOLUTIONS conference also is set to explore big data, cloud computing, interoperability, information technology acquisition reform and mobility management. The conference continues through tomorrow at George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia.
Unmanned vehicles may become joint platforms as new software allows operators using a standard control system to use craft employed by different services. So, an Army squad deep in the battlefield may be able to use data accessed directly from a Navy unmanned aerial vehicle to bring an Air Force strike to bear against enemy forces.
The same approach used to test and implement the Army's single largest networking system is laying the groundwork for extending the network down to the individual soldier. As laboratory tests and field exercises validate the interoperability of separate elements in a network, system conflicts are giving way to greater commonality among different elements.
This effort has borne fruit in the evolution of the Warfighter Information Network–Tactical (WIN–T). The last fielding of WIN–T Increment 1 took place in August 2012, and WIN–T Increment 2 is taking the final steps toward deployment. Meanwhile, WIN–T Increment 3 is beginning to take shape.
As these increments progress toward full implementation, their test efforts are helping leaven out other capabilities. Greater interoperability testing of individual elements in a fully networked environment is allowing engineers to extend interoperable functions farther down the chain of command and into the hands of individual warfighters.
Col. Edward J. Swanson, USA, project manager WIN–T (PM WIN–T), explains that WIN–T Increment 1 provides a static networking capability for forces in the field. While it does not work on the move, soldiers can establish WIN–T linkage at the quick halt—they simply pull their vehicle off the road to a dead stop and immediately begin communications without a complicated setup. Newer WIN–T Increment 1 systems incorporate Joint Network Node Ka-band satellite connectivity, and its capabilities are deployed down to the battalion level. Col. Swanson describes WIN–T Increment 1 as "the backbone of the tactical network today."
A military exercise designed to refine and improve the way coalition partners share vital information will, for the first time, include the network that is supporting troops in Afghanistan. Scheduled to take place in Poland next month, the event will feature military command and control communications experts from NATO, partner organizations and nations who share the goal of rigorously testing communications interoperability among coalition members. But one of the largest of those partners, the United States, is not taking a leading role in one of the newest, and most challenging areas, cybersecurity.
The Coalition Warrior Interoperability Exploration, Experimentation and Examination Exercise (CWIX) is held annually by NATO's Military Committee and overseen by NATO's office of Allied Command Transformation (ACT) based in Norfolk, Virginia. This year's exercise will take place June 3 to 20, with its primary execution site at the Joint Forces Training Center in Bydgosczc, Poland.
Moving forward through sequester, next fiscal year's evaluations include new contracts and contacts.
As the U.S. Army prepares its network of the future, it plans to make some changes to the way it approaches working with government and private partners. The moves will increase interoperability downrange while attempting to shorten the ever-frustrating acquisition cycle that keeps the military behind the curve in implementing cutting-edge technologies.
Soldiers are starting to lay the groundwork for, and intend on inviting, airmen and Marines to participate in Network Integration Evaluations (NIEs) 14.1 and 14.2, scheduled for fall 2013 and spring 2014 respectively. They also are preparing to expand live, virtual and constructive (LVC) features, which will facilitate bringing in the new participants, because they may be able to exercise from remote locations. In a previous iteration, the Army had one of its own brigades carry out its parts through a simulation. Brig. Gen. Randal Dragon, USA, commanding general of the Army's Brigade Modernization Command, explains that planners are shooting to find the LVC balance in 14.1 that will help them understand what they need to do to accommodate the joint network in 14.2. "We're still in very, very early preliminary design stages," he states. Before connecting a major joint, coalition or interagency partner to the network, the Army has to determine how to reduce risks and costs. Officials are attempting to find the right mix to enable the joint requirements while maintaining the momentum of systems of evaluation.
Coalition interoperability has received a good deal of focus during the past few years. The Afghan Mission Network (AMN) has given many hope that a repeatable solution for coalition operations could be developed that would allow rapid deployment of a coalition-compatible network for future conflicts. The Future Mission Network (FMN) is envisioned to allow coalition partners to plug into a standards-compliant network with the functionality and security needed to support complex operations.
Recently, in discussions on the U.S. Defense Department initiative to develop a common operating environment referred to as the Joint Information Environment, or JIE, I began to consider whether the creation of such a common environment for the department would help move toward agile and effective coalition information sharing, or would put more distance between the U.S. military and its partners.
The conclusion I have reached is that the JIE could help or hinder coalition efforts, depending on how the JIE architecture is coordinated and whether it is kept on a path parallel to the FMN. It is important to remember that coalition information sharing today is more than just how the United States works with its foreign allies. Anywhere on the mission spectrum, the Defense Department must work with a wide range of U.S. federal agencies, industry partners and, sometimes, state, local and tribal agencies, as well as with international partners.
This means the legacy architectures, direction and needs of this extremely diverse set of players must be considered at every step of the development of the JIE. And, it is imperative to keep the development of the JIE and the development of the FMN coordinated every step of the way. Failure to do this will make it more difficult, not easier, to work with interagency partners and coalition partners.
Northrop Grumman Systems Corp., Carson, Calif., was awarded a $12,443,001 modification, to a previously awarded cost-plus-incentive-fee contract , for a four-month extension of services in support of Counter Rocket Artillery Mortar Command and Control System. The cumulative total face value of this contract is now $156,052,528. The Army Contracting Command, Redstone Arsenal, Ala., is the contracting activity.
Future conflicts likely will be fought in degraded information technology environments, which will require the U.S. Navy to develop and exploit new capabilities to continue to operate in contested cyberspace. Technologies such as a flexible information grid, assured timing services and directed energy weapons must be part of the naval information system arsenal if the sea service is to maintain information dominance through the year 2028.
These were just a few of the findings presented in the Navy's Information Dominance Roadmap 2013-2028, which was released in late March. Presented by Rear Adm. William E. Leigher, USN, the Navy's director of warfighter integration, the report outlines the growing challenges facing the fleet and how the Navy must meet them.
The report divides information dominance challenges into three areas: assured command and control (C2), battlespace awareness and integrated fires. While the United States will continue to maintain supremacy in those areas, that supremacy is shrinking as more nations are closing the gap between U.S. capabilities and the ability to disrupt them.
Among the advanced capabilities the Navy will require toward the end of the next decade is assured electromagnetic spectrum access. Achieving this will entail fielding greater numbers of advanced line-of-sight communication systems; being able to monitor combat system operational status and adjust it using automated services; having a real-time spectrum operations capability that enables dynamic monitoring and control of spectrum emissions; and generating a common operational picture of the spectrum that is linked to electronic navigation charts and displays operational restrictions.
Looking past the alligators close to the boat, scientists prepare for the wars of tomorrow.
Distributed operations are the future of the U.S. Marine Corps, and its premier science and technology organization is laser focused on the capabilities to make such missions a success. Enabling communications for mobile troops across long distances is a priority as battles continue in Afghanistan while the focus shifts toward more maritime environments. Success will give lower echelons better access to command and control, enhancing the fight in any theater.
Brig. Gen. Mark R. Wise, USMC, commander of the Marine Corps Warfighting Laboratory (MCWL) and vice chief of naval research, explains that people usually think of modernizing a force as working on resources to be ready in five to 10 years, but efforts at the laboratory reach much further ahead. "We are influencing the very leading edge," he states. The research helps define what times to come should look like for Marines and what they will need to operate effectively. This aim at the future influences the requirements that influence modernization.
"The MCWL is very focused on distributed operations right now," Gen. Wise explains. Units in current conflicts already operate at great distances from other units or their own command and control (C2) elements. As operations shift to the Asia-Pacific, such distance problems are likely to increase. The MCWL is working on methods to sustain—through enhanced logistics—and command and control such a force. Researchers are exploring material and nonmaterial solutions to find the correct enabling capabilities.
After a special operations deployment, handling state-of-the-art communications technology tops the list.
Back from a nearly year-long deployment to Afghanistan, the 1st Marine Special Operations Battalion already is working to apply lessons learned to training for the next deployment. As the battalion prepares for its next mission, it is reflecting on what its Marines learned about how they train, how their equipment worked and how they will prepare themselves for the future.
While they are able to use some of the best electronic communications gear developed for the military, the Marines nonetheless are trying to learn how they can improve both their initial and follow-up training to get the most out of that equipment. They also are asking important questions about whether they have enough, and the right kinds, of equipment.
Chief Warrant Officer 2 (CWO2) Jason Reed, USMC, is a spectrum operations officer, G-6, and one of the members of the Marine battalion responsible for supporting the communications needs of Marines during the deployment. CWO2 Reed says one of the first things his bosses at the Marine Corps Forces Special Operations Command (MARSOC) headquarters wanted to know is what worked, what went well and, more importantly, what needed improvement based on the deployment. For CWO2 Reed, that meant one thing: training for combat service support personnel.
He explains that MARSOC recruits Marines who have already received training for more conventional duties. "They're radio operators, they're maintenance folks, they're cryptologists, they're data network operators," CWO2 Reed outlines. Upon arrival at MARSOC, however, the Marines receive a new level of training to support Special Operations, getting what he calls "a new baseline" in training.

Susan J. Elliott
The people of Karakalpakstan, along with those of the entire Aral Sea region, are facing a multitude of health problems corresponding to the drying of the Aral Sea and accompanying ecological problems. This research examines the contribution of the environmental disaster and other mediating variables on the psychosocial health of people in Karakalpakstan, about which no other data are available at present. Four research objectives are addressed within a cross-sectional research design using descriptive and logistic regression analysis: 1) to determine people's perceptions (health and environmental) associated with the environmental disaster; 2) to examine the links between health and environment made by individuals; 3) to determine the prevalence of psychosocial impacts amongst local residents; and, 4) to investigate the determinants of psychosocial impacts. As part of M6decins Sans Frontieres' (MSF) operational research program, and with the assistance of local Universities, and local health care workers, an interview survey was carried out on a random sample of individuals (n=881) in three communities in Karakalpakstan. Results show that much of the study population is concerned about the environment and is experiencing high levels of emotional distress. Also, low levels of self-perceived health were reported in the three study communities, and health problems were commonly perceived as being associated with environmental problems. Further, results for a series of site specific analysis revealed that outcome measures can be successfully explained by a combination of external and mediating factors including individual's location of residence, gender, age, social network characteristics and perceptions of the environmental situation. These results have added to our understanding of the severity and nature of risk perceptions and psychosocial impacts associated with a long term, multi-sourced environmental disaster in a developing world context. Furthermore, these findings have demonstrated that strategies aimed at addressing and alleviating psychosocial impacts need to be specific to the characteristics of the populations most affected.

DIY homeowners, thinking of selling your home this Spring? Consider these two findings:
1. The California Association of Realtors found that more 70% of first-time home sellers consider selling "for sale by owner;" and
2. During 4Q2011, over 20,000 MLS real estate listings expired or were canceled across Massachusetts. Those failed listings represent $250 million in lost fees to Realtors OR potential savings for DIY home buyers & sellers.
Want to save money by selling your home for sale by owner or FSBO? Read http://bit.ly/EXPloreWinWin and join us for this interactive slideshow: FSBOs on Steroids
This 1.5 hour presentation included more than 150 slides featuring "best of breed" web sites DIY home sellers can use to sell their homes "for sale by owner" or with the assistance of a new generation of fee-for-service real estate professionals who are willing to offer their services "a la carte."
The slideshow is divided into 15 segments and you can preview the first online:
FSBOs on Steroids: Step 1 of 15
Consumer advocate and fee-for-service pioneer, Bill Wendel founded the first real estate cybercafe in the world in 1995. A graduate of Harvard & MIT's city planning program, Bill is the only member of his family of original who is NOT a college professor. Instead, Wendel's challenged his passion for new technology into his passion: developing strategies and discovering "best of breed" money-saving sites to help DIY real estate consumers, both homebuyers and sellers, save money -- an estimated $30 billion dollars annually by industry critics. His company, The Real Estate Cafe, offers a money-saving menu of services and their 100% commission rebate has been featured in the Wall Street Journal. Wendel is currently a guest blogger / real estate content partner for the Boston Globe's new hyperlocal site: http://Local.Boston.com
You can listen to Wendel describe his mission in this low-key, 80 second video which showcases a classroom session and screenshorts from the course http://bit.ly/RECafeVideo

KE$HA has again ditched the pounds of makeup and glitter—and this time for a photo shoot with Glamour magazine.
Have you ever seen Ke$ha looking so clean? No? Well, take a look:
Ke$ha rarely ever reveals what she really looks like underneath the glitter makeup, the neon face paint, and the metallic blue lipstick… but when she does, she ends up looking quite nice.
After getting treated to a serious scrub down by Glamour's beauty experts, the "Your Love Is My Drug" singer did an interview with the magazine and, true to form, gave a few kooky answers.
When asked if she worries about going out without makeup for fear of being photographed with a bare face, Ke$ha responds:
"My makeup is usually left over from the night before. I'm not really worried about the photographs because if I tell my fans not to give a f–k about the haters, then I have to practice what I preach. I embrace the imperfections and celebrate them."
However, despite her willingness to sport a more natural look when she's not performing, Ke$ha says she has no plans of eventually getting rid of her wild glitter makeup and body paint. She says:
"The body paint stays. It's my favorite thing to do. Sometimes I have parties at my house in Nashville and it's clothing-optional, and we just body-paint each other and run around, and I have a giant bed. I'm very much in touch with that side of myself."
And who are her style icons?
"I would love to embody the attitude of Iggy Pop or Keith Richards: a ballsy mentality. Stylistically, I love Vivienne Westwood—those capes! I'm obsessed."
