|This is a truly impressive
This is a truly impressive amoungt of wrongness in two comments. Your "pile" of evidence:
Harbaugh considers Smith an entrenched starter and has nothing but glowing priase for him.
Entrenched starter, yes. He's a senior. He said even more positive things about Isaac. It is also talk.
Nobody has produced better than Smith in meaningful situations, including several 5-star recruits (Isaac, Green, even Peppers. Compare Isaac's production at USC with his production against any Top 100 defense while at UM.)
Absurd to cite Green in any situation other than incredibly overrated players. Meanwhile Drake Johnson rushed for 5 YPC to Smith's 4.2 last year. Houma was 4.4. Isaac 6.8. Peppers 4.0. Collectively, those guys combine to average 5.0 YPC on barely fewer carries than Smith got.
Advanced stats indicate it's the OL that is to blame for the run game struggles (not the RBs).
"Advanced stats" in these categories are nothing more than handwaving attempts to turn play by play into something meaningful. They're better than nothing, but far worse than evaluations that actually grade individual plays.
The NFL still has little interest in Michigan's 3 returning senior starters on the OL. When was that ever true of guys with this many starts under their belts?
That's yet to be determined; Glasgow was not on the radar at this time and was a third round pick. Meanwhile Cole graded as one of the best run blockers in the country last year. The other guys weren't great but they were mostly okay. Many solid college OL don't get drafted high. Last year's line was okay, not great.
True freshman OL have played, every year. Position changes have happened, every offseason. Michigan's recent OL personnel is high turnover, low talent, and learning-as-they-go.
There were no freshmen on last year's line; position switching is going to happen every year on most teams.
Multiple RBs floundered behind Brady Hoke OLs and went on to look quite good on other teams. [Wheatley didn't fix this, indicating the always-dubious Fred Jackson theory was bunk. The OL is the simpler answer.]
I thought there was nothing to fix? If Smith's vision is awesome and it's all the OL's fault then the Fred Jackson thing holds water.
Believe PFF, Harbaugh, and logic. For a board that likes to cite Occam's razor you'd think Smith-doubting would be behind us.
I know you like to think you're a contrarian genius but your aguments are almost always in this vein of nebulous handwaving at people who actually do the work.

The formation of the Big Ten came at an unfortunate time but it's correlation, not causation. Going forward the Big Ten is going to be very good. With NoDak, ridiculous. And the Big Ten comes with cachet--and TV exposure--the NCHC cannot match.

We'll probably never know conclusively who wrote and released Stuxnet. Consensus points to the United States and Israel, in an alleged attempt to damage the Iranian nuclear program at the Bushehr nuclear power plant. Previously, Iranian officials asserted that the malware had not caused any damage to its nuclear program.
Now, if a recent Reuters story is accurate, an Iranian military commander accuses Siemens of helping in the creation of Stuxnet:
Gholamreza Jalali, head of Iran's civilian defense, said the Stuxnet virus aimed at Iran's atomic program was the work of its two biggest foes and that the German company must take some of the blame.
Siemens declined to comment.
"The investigations show the source of the Stuxnet virus originated in America and the Zionist regime," Jalali was quoted as saying.
Jalali said Iran should hold Siemens responsible for the fact that its control systems used to operate complicated factory machinery--known as Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA)--had been hit by the worm.
Siemens declined to comment.
"The investigations show the source of the Stuxnet virus originated in America and the Zionist regime," Jalali was quoted as saying.
Jalali said Iran should hold Siemens responsible for the fact that its control systems used to operate complicated factory machinery--known as Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA)--had been hit by the worm.
I doubt Siemens had anything to do with the direct creation of the Stuxnet worm. And I certainly haven't read or seen any evidence that would point to this possibility being so. Most likely, whoever designed the worm--to the degree they needed or wanted assurance that it would work as designed--had the finances to purchase equipment that mirrored the equipment at Bushehr and designed the worm and payload accordingly.
If Siemens did play a role in the development of Stuxnet, it was probably a passive one: they provided the necessary software so that vulnerabilities could be uncovered. Or, perhaps they had their software evaluated at Idaho National Labs and--totally unknown to them--the U.S. took that opportunity to discover and pocket a number of zero days.
Additionally, not only is Iran talking about holding Siemens responsible, but a couple of months ago the Iranian Deputy chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff said the country would take "pre-emptive" strikes against the powers it believes launched the attack.
How well would the U.S. fair in an attack on the power grid? Probably not very well if a recent Ponemon Institute survey is to be believed. In its survey, it found that three-quarters of energy companies and utilities experienced one or more data breaches in the past 12 months. Additionally, 69% of those surveyed believe another data breach is very likely to occur within the next year.
Let's hope they're wrong.
The cybersecurity profession struggles to retain women (figures range from 10 to 20 percent). It's particularly worrisome for an industry with a rapidly growing number of vacant positions.
So why does the shortage of women continue to be worse in security than in other IT sectors? How can men in infosec be better allies for women; and how can women be better allies for one another? What is the industry doing to fix the problem -- what's working, and what isn't?
Is this really a problem at all? Are the low numbers simply an indication that women do not want to be in cybersecurity, and is it possible that more women will never want to be in cybersecurity? How many women would we need to see in the industry to declare success?

Sexual assault is an unfortunate reality on this campus and on campuses nationwide. At Miami, a variety of programs are aimed at increasing awareness of sexual assault and supporting students who report sexual assaults. Unfortunately, many students are unaware that the overwhelming threat of sexual assault is not from strangers, but from individuals they know or have just met. This summary is designed to provide a basic guide to university resources regarding sexual assault.
How severe is the problem?
The 2007 U.S. Department of Justice National Crime Victimization Study shows that 248,300 rapes were reported in the U.S. during that year—a statistic suggesting that every two minutes, someone is sexually assaulted in the U.S. Futhermore, sexual assaults are vastly underreported; it is estimated that only 5 to 40 percent of rapes are reported (Rape and Sexual Assault: Reporting to Police and Medical Attention; Bureau of Justice Statistics, 2000).
A 2004 study conducted at 119 colleges found that one in 20 college women reported being raped during the school year and almost 75 percent of victims said they were intoxicated when the assault occurred. The study was conducted by researchers at the Harvard School of Public Health Alcohol Study, Saint Joseph's University, and the University of Arizona.
National statistics vary, but officials agree that most college women know their attackers and that most attacks go unreported.
A 2000 U.S. Department of Justice study on the sexual victimization of college women reports that 2.8 percent of those surveyed were the victims of rape or attempted rape per academic year and about 90 percent knew their attackers. On a campus of 10,000 women, that's 280 rapes or attempted rapes each academic year. However, the study further found that less than 5 percent of sexual assaults are reported to police.
Miami provides complete information on crime statistics for all campuses as well as the City of Oxford. When reviewing statistics, remember that many more sexual assaults occur here and elsewhere than are reported.
What can I do to reduce my risk of being sexually assaulted?
Educating yourself about the problem is a good first step! Programs established to promote awareness among men and women regarding sexual assault include the following:
- Women Against Violence and Sexual Assault (WAVES)*—This student organization began during the 2007–2008 school year to promote awareness and education about issues surrounding sexual violence.
- Men Against Rape and Sexual Assault (MARS)*—This program began during the 2001–2002 school year to address rape as a men's issue. Male students meet in small, all-male groups to discuss how men can make a difference.
- Summer Orientation Programming—In Summer 2001, a program for parents and students addressing sexual assault among college students was incorporated into orientation for first-year students. Stressing the fact that most sexual assaults on campus involve acquaintances, the program includes information on what constitutes consent and facilitates discussion of risk reduction and prevention. The student segment includes a skit portraying the dynamics involved in acquaintance rape situations.
- Nighttime Door to Door—This service provides a safe escort for students. An escort can be obtained from 6 p.m. to 2 a.m. Monday through Wednesday and until 4 a.m. the rest of the week. Call 529-2277.
- Miami Police Victim Services—Website information includes answers to questions commonly asked by sexual assault survivors.
- Rape, Abuse, and Incest National Network—This resource provides support for sexual assault victims and their loved ones through two hotlines: 800-656-HOPE and online.rainn.org.
*Any student, staff, or faculty member can request an educational/interactive program by calling 529-1870.
What if I'm sexually assaulted or know someone who is?
- Seek medical help. Your physical health should be your first priority. McCullough-Hyde Memorial Hospital in Oxford has specially trained sexual assault nurse examiners. Victims are not billed for services. Survivors of sexual assault at Miami are also strongly encouraged to report it to police. Even if you don't know whether you want to prosecute, reporting will ensure the collection of evidence and the documentation of facts while they are still fresh in your mind.
- Check out police resources. The Miami and Oxford Police have adopted a list of promises to survivors of sexual assault, including a pledge to treat every victim with respect and sensitivity and a pledge to take every case seriously and to investigate it thoroughly. Police also promise to assist victims as they navigate the legal system.
- Find support through the Butler County Rape Crisis Program. A service of the Community Counseling and Crisis Center, this program provides confidential immediate and long-term support for sexual assault victims.
- Contact the victim advocate on campus. The coordinator of Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Programs can offer support and inform you of available options. Call 529-1870.
- Seek counseling. Counseling is available 24 hours a day by calling the Butler County Rape Crisis hotline at (513) 381-5610 or tollfree, 877-889-5610.
- Students may also seek assistance from Miami's Student Counseling Service by calling 529-4634. On-call counselors can be reached at any time through the university police dispatcher.
- Report the crime. Although victims are encouraged to pursue a criminal case, those who choose not to can still file a report with the Office of Ethics and Student Conflict Resolution (if the accused is a student). In either case, the reports are included in the university's crime statistics. Cases may be pursued simultaneously in criminal court and by the Office of Ethics and Student Conflict Resolution.
- Know Miami protocol. Pick up a copy of the brochure, "Important Information for Miami Students About Sexual Assault Programs and Services," available from any of the offices listed at the end of this publication. Working with the Women's Center, the Student Counseling Service, and Miami Police, the Office of Ethics and Student Conflict Resolution established protocol for working with sexual assault victims. It ensures that victims' medical needs are taken care of, that victims know what support services are available and that they are provided with information about various ways charges can be pursued (civil, criminal, campus judicial system).
What are the differences between campus disciplinary and criminal proceeding?
Both Miami's code of conduct and the criminal system operate under the assumption that an accused is innocent until proven guilty. However, the standard of proof in disciplinary proceedings is "preponderance of evidence," a less stringent one than "proof beyond a reasonable doubt," which is required for criminal proceedings. Preponderance of evidence requires that the facts establish the likelihood that the offense was committed by the accused person, while certainty must be established to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
What happens to charges of sexual assault that are handled in the university's judicial system?
Outcomes range from dismissal from the university to a finding of not responsible. For example, in a recent academic year, the university judicial system dealt with four alleged sexual misconduct violations. Two accused students were dismissed from the university; one was suspended, and the other was found not responsible. Criminal charges were pursued in two of the cases, but the grand jury did not return an indictment.
College disciplinary systems are not meant to be a substitute for the courts. They are a method for enforcing standards of behavior—standards that are often higher than those required by criminal law. Students who choose to pursue internal disciplinary action are informed of and urged to also seek redress via criminal proceedings. Criminal charges and internal disciplinary proceedings can occur simultaneously.

Indian Shares End Lower on Profit-Taking
MUMBAI--Indian shares ended lower Thursday, a day after they rose to their highest level in more than three months, as investors took profits in some recent gainers including Reliance Industries EQRELIANCE 0.95 % and private lenders.
The Bombay Stock Exchange's S&P BSE Sensex dropped 51.14 points, or 0.3%, to close at 19939.04 points. On the National Stock Exchange, the 50-stock Nifty index ended 19.15 points, or 0.3%, lower at 6050.15.
The Sensex and the Nifty rose 9.4% and 10.1%, respectively, in the past one month. The gains have come on the back of continued buying by foreign investors, who are preferring India over other emerging markets on hopes a recent fall in oil and gold prices will benefit India's economy and its markets.
The positive sentiment has also been buoyed by the central bank's decision last week to cut interest rates. Several top companies have also reported better-than-expected earnings for the January-March quarter.
Out of the Sensex's 30 constituent companies, 14 have reported results for the January-March period.
In a note to clients, Deutsche Bank DB -3.88 % said these companies' combined net profit was 5.4% above its estimate. But their combined revenue has missed its expectation by 4.3%.
Reliance Industries fell 1.3% to 818.10 rupees after rising about 3.5% in the previous three sessions.
Investors took profits in mortgage lender Housing Development Finance after the stock hit a record high Wednesday--it ended 0.7% down at 879.60 rupees Thursday.
HDFC Bank HDB 0.67 % lost 1.0% to close at 689.95 rupees.
State Bank of India, SBKJY 0.00 % the country's largest lender by assets, ended 1.8% higher at 2,294.35 rupees, lifted by investor interest in state-run banks after Punjab National Bank EQPNB -0.44 % and Union Bank of India EQUNIONBANK -1.30 % reported strong results and an improvement in their asset quality for the January-March quarter.
State-run banks have been taking measures to bring down their non-performing assets. They have also been asked by the government to speed up the recovery of bad loans.
Punjab National Bank ended 4.6% up at 785.45 rupees, while Union Bank of India rose 1.4% to close at 242.60 rupees.
Indian government bond prices built on Wednesday's steep gains as dealers expect the central bank to continue to buy back bonds to ease a cash shortage in the banking system.
On Thursday, Governor Duvvuri Subbarao said the central bank will buy back bonds and take other measures if banks face any shortage of cash.
The yield on the benchmark 8.15% 2022 bond was quoted at 7.60% at 1132 GMT, down from Wednesday's close of 7.69%.
Traders are watching for cues from data on March industrial output and April consumer price, due on Friday.

Wine Maker Notes
Aromas of blackberry, cola and licorice with toasted oak and vanilla highlights fill out the bouquet of this wine. The taste is of full dark bold fruit including plum, dark cherry and blueberry. The tannin structure completes the mid palate and leads to a lush yet subtle finish. This makes the wine enjoyable now, and should also age well for years to come.

Practical Task Scheduling Deployment

One of the best things about the UNIX environment (aside from being stable and efficient) is the vast array of software tools available to help you do your job. Traditionally, a UNIX tool does only one thing, but does that one thing very well. For example, grep is very easy to use and can search vast amounts of data quickly. The find tool can find a particular file or files based on all kinds of criteria. It's pretty easy to string these tools together to build even more powerful tools, such as a tool that finds all of the .log files in the /home directory and searches each one for a particular entry. This erector-set mentality allows UNIX system administrators to seem to always have the right tool for the job.
Cron traditionally has been considered another such a tool for job scheduling, but is it enough? This webinar considers that very question. The first part builds on a previous Geek Guide, Beyond Cron, and briefly describes how to know when it might be time to consider upgrading your job scheduling infrastructure. The second part presents an actual planning and implementation framework.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

At the moment, we are in the process of doing our final testing on the VS SDK 2005-09 Community Tech Preview. This is the last task for our August sprint, and our sprint review is tomorrow, planning for the next sprint will occur on Thursday, and the next sprint will begin on Friday.
We were not able to complete the C++ Tool Window Reference Sample, but we are including it in the release to provide a preview, as most of the functionality is present. However, the actual code for this sample is prototype code, and should not be copied. We are going to need to replace the use of the VB ListView ActiveX control with something else, as it was just discovered that it does not fully support Active Accessiblity (i.e. it can access the control and the column header for the report view, but not the list items), so that part of the sample will need to be re-written. The ISelectionContainer implementation is also extermely rough and needs to be partially factored up into VSL as one or more re-usable classes.
The C++ Package Reference Samples and the C++ Menus and Commands Reference Samples are in good shape though, and we'll also provide the C++ Service Provider Reference Sample with the VS SDK 2005-10 CTP, as well as completing the C++ Tool Window Reference Sample.

Josh Powell to undergo psychosexual evaluation; 2 boys will remain with grandparents
, File photo
TACOMA, Wash. — A judge on Wednesday ordered Josh Powell to undergo a psychosexual evaluation, which includes a polygraph test.
The order came during a hearing about the custody status of his two young boys.
Pierce County Superior Court Judge Kathryn Nelson also ordered that for now, his children will remain in the custody of his in-laws, the parents of missing Utah mother Susan Cox Powell. She disappeared more than two years ago from her West Valley home.
Wednesday's hearing was the first review hearing since the two young children, ages 4 and 7, were placed with Chuck and Judy Cox last fall. During the hearing, the judge was informed that a doctor who completed a psychological evaluation on Josh Powell said he believes Powell has made improvements in his life.
"There are a lot of positives regarding Mr. Powell," Nelson said, noting that he no longer lived in his father's house and had been cooperative with all the visitation requirements.
But the judge recommended that the children remain with their maternal grandparents.
Part of her decision was based on the doctor's recommendation that Powell undergo a psychosexual evaluation because of some images found on one of Powell's computers when West Valley police served a search warrant on his Utah home in 2009.
A psychosexual evaluation looks at whether a person is a risk to commit sexual misconduct in the future. The evaluation is based on several factors, including sexual history and family history. Prosecutors said a lie detector test will be part of the evaluation.
Attorneys said the images are part of an ongoing criminal investigation in Utah. No one in court described what the images contained, partly because no one in the courtroom Wednesday had apparently seen them.
Jeff Bassett, Powell's attorney, questioned the validity of the images and noted there wasn't any concrete proof that they even belonged to his client.
"Utah has some disc with some allegedly questionable images on it," he said.
Bassett accused Utah investigators of "playing puppet master with the state of Washington" by dangling an alleged piece of evidence in front of the court to keep Powell's children away from him, even though no one had seen such evidence.
"Why haven't they arrested my client? It certainly would be an extraditable offense," he said of the disputed images.
Later, Bassett conceded the images might be in "bad taste," but said he does not believe they are illegal.
John Long, with the Washington Attorney General's Office, admitted that the issue of the evidence in Utah is "frustrating for all of us." But he said the recommendation for the psychosexual evaluation isn't without merit.
"It's not a fishing expedition. This is based on some information that has been provided by a criminal investigation," he said, noting it was "clear" the images could be linked to Josh Powell.
"We need to look at this as a whole, not one piece of this," he said.
Nelson agreed with the prosecutor, noting that the child dependency case started with child pornography allegations against Steven Powell, Josh's father. She said it would be best to cover all bases and have Josh Powell undergo an evaluation in light of the new evidence.
"I see no reason to disturb the current placement that is going so well for these children," the judge said.
West Valley police released a statement Wednesday saying its officers are aware of the custody dispute in Washington. Detectives investigating Susan Powell's disappearance "discovered information specifically related to their children's welfare. This information was provided to authorities in the state of Washington."

USA Today published an article in its March 11 edition spotlighting the current popularity of '80s metal and the renewed media interest in a musical subculture many thought was extinct prior to the recent Rhode Island nightclub blaze in which nearly 100 people died. According to author Clara Frenk, "bands such as POISON, DEF LEPPARD and GREAT WHITE may not be heard on the radio or seen on MTV the way they used to be, but that doesn't mean the musicians or their fans packed it in when their beloved era faded." Read the whole article here.

Complaint filed over science edNovember 20,2012
ALBANY, Vt. A group of parents in a Vermont school district has filed a complaint with the state Education Department saying their children arent getting a proper education in science.
The parents of a combined third- and fourth-grade class at the Albany Community School say a teacher who formerly taught fourth-grade English and social studies was told to teach science, too.
The parents said the teacher told them at an open house that she feels overwhelmed with her additional duties.
The Caledonian-Record reported that Principal Jill Chaffee wrote to parents that there are no financial resources in the current budget to hire additional staffing. She said the middle school science teacher will help primary grade teachers enhance the science program.MORE IN Vermont NewsCLEVELAND In an appeal to anxious voters, Donald Trump pledged Thursday night that safety will...

The end of the Soviet Union was not inevitable, says Norman StoneHistorians in the News
Ten years before President Ronald Reagan stood in Berlin to demand,"Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!" communism's demise was in no way assured. Decades of proxy wars saw communist and capitalist powers bargaining and competing for footholds around the world. British historian and former Oxford University professor Norman Stone's book The Atlantic and Its Enemies: A History of the Cold War begins just as World War II allies become Cold War competitors. He follows the successes and failures on both sides of the Iron Curtain until communism finally falls, along with the Berlin Wall. Stone, who lives in Oxford and Istanbul, recently talked with U.S. News about the Cold War and its lessons for today. Excerpts:
Why did you decide to write this now?
If you were writing in the 1990s, you could write the most awful romantic guff about the emergence of free nations. The formula for bringing capitalism and free markets to the ex-Communist countries didn't go as planned, so that perspective saved me from writing a lot of cheesy propaganda.
What surprised you in writing about the Cold War period?
I was impressed by the resilience of the Anglo-American world, its propensity for change.

Peru's Stocks, Bonds Fall as Humala Faces Fujimori in Runoff
Peru's benchmark stock index fell to a three-week low and dollar bonds tumbled on concern former renegade army colonel Ollanta Humala will win a presidential runoff in June and expand government control of the economy.
The Lima General index sank 3.1 percent, extending its drop this year to 12 percent and making it the world's second-worst performer after Egypt among 90 indexes tracked by Bloomberg. Peru's dollar bonds due in 2025 dropped, sending yields up 3 basis points to 5.43 percent, Bloomberg data showed. The sol weakened 0.1 percent to 2.8025 per dollar.
Humala, a one-time ally of Hugo Chavez who has distanced himself from Venezuela's president, won 31.2 percent of the first-round vote yesterday with 85 percent of ballots counted. Congresswoman Keiko Fujimori, daughter of the imprisoned former president Alberto Fujimori, finished second with 23.2 percent. The candidates have equal odds of winning the next round, Alejandro Arreaza, an analyst at Barclays Plc, said in a report.
"Humala's chances of becoming Peru's next president are now higher than what the market is pricing," Arreaza said in the report. "Voters seem to be looking for a candidate who represents change rather than continuity. In this sense, the more moderate sounding Humala has become more attractive to voters in the center."
Barclays suggests selling the sol and buying credit default swaps to bet that the country's credit quality will deteriorate.
The cost of protecting Peru's debt against non-payment for five years with credit-default swaps rose 5 basis points to 135 today, according to data compiled by CMA in New York.
Market Losses
The Andean nation's stocks, bonds and currency tumbled over the past month as Humala's surge in opinion polls raised concern that his presidency may jeopardize $50 billion of mining, energy and infrastructure investment. Humala, 48, has proposed raising royalty fees on mining and gas production and drawing up a new constitution. He also pledged to renegotiate a free-trade deal with the U.S. signed by President Alan Garcia.
"It's difficult to get away from the thought that Humala is more left-winged than anyone else in the election," Jeremy Brewin, who helps oversee about $3 billion of emerging-market assets at Aviva in London, said in an interview. "He perhaps leans more towards re-negotiating the things that we got used to. I am sure we are not the only people who are structurally underweight Peru."
Former Finance Minister Pedro Pablo Kuczynski came in third yesterday with 19.4 percent support, while ex-President Alejandro Toledo won 15.2 percent.
Economic Growth
Peru, the world's second-largest producer of copper, grew 8.8 percent last year. The government expects the investment in the mining industry and in infrastructure will help fuel 6.5 percent economic growth over the next five years.
Maple Energy Plc, the oil and natural gas producer with operations in Peru, fell 7.4 percent in Lima. Empresa Siderurgica del Peru SAA, a unit of Gerdau SA, Latin America's largest steelmaker, retreated 4 percent.
Chilean stocks with exposure to Peru also declined.
Parque Arauco SA, a department store operator, sank 1 percent in Santiago, while Ripley Corp SA, another retailer, fell 0.3 percent. Ripley gets almost 30 percent of revenue from Peruvian operations, while Parque Arauco gets more than 15 percent, Chilean financial services firm Banco Penta said.
Both Humala and Fujimori are polarizing figures in Peru, though each has strong support in the Andean highlands where poverty affects 77 percent of the population in some areas.
Army Uprising
Like Chavez, who as a paratrooper led a failed coup, Humala in 2000 led 50 soldiers who seized and occupied for a week one of Phoenix-based Southern Copper Corp.'s mines to protest corruption that beset Fujimori's government. His brother, Antauro Humala, is serving a 25-year prison sentence for killing four policemen during the takeover of the southern highland town of Andahuaylas in 2005, in an attempt to force Toledo to resign.
Humala has downplayed his ties to Chavez and is muting the anti-capitalist rhetoric used in 2006. Humala won the first round of balloting in 2006 with 31 percent only to lose by five percentage points to Garcia in a runoff.
Last night, at a victory rally in Lima, Humala vowed to seek national unity as president, telling supporters that "Peru wants change without shocks to bring about a big redistribution of the country's wealth."
Fujimori, 35, surrounded herself by her father's former aides including running mate Jaime Yoshiyama, who served as his Minister of the Presidency. The jailed Fujimori is credited by supporters with laying the foundations of Peru's economic boom by slashing inflation from 7,650 percent to 3.5 percent.
25 Years
He also closed Congress in 1992 and saw his grip on power tumble after his intelligence chief, Vladimiro Montesinos, was caught on videotape in 2000 bribing opposition lawmakers.
In 2009, after returning from exile, Fujimori was convicted and sentenced to 25 years in prison for ordering a paramilitary squad to kill a group of suspected Marxist rebel sympathizers.
Keiko Fujimori was elected to Congress in 2006 with more votes than any other candidate. She met her American husband, Mark Villanella, while obtaining an MBA at Columbia University in New York.
Last night, she thanked her father and tried to reassure Peruvians there will be no return to authoritarian rule.
"We must look to the future, not to the past," she said as supporters chanted "Chino, Chino, Chino," her father's popular nickname. "We're going to work with absolute respect for democracy, the rule of law, freedom of expression and the press."
Fujimori Support
While a Fujimori presidency may revive the trauma of her father's decade-long rule, the losing candidates are likely to rally behind her before the June 5 runoff vote to prevent Humala from jeopardizing the fastest economic growth in Latin America over the past five years, said Michael Shifter, president of the Inter-American Dialogue.
"She's not a real recipe for stability, but given the choice, there will be more resistance from the business community to Humala," said Shifter, who hosted Humala at an event in Washington last year.
Peru's sol has declined 1.2 percent against the U.S. dollar since March 20, when Humala began gaining in the polls, making it the worst performer among 25 emerging-market currencies tracked by Bloomberg.
"The uncertainty ahead of the runoff will lead to some further selloff of Peruvian assets," said Kevin Daly, who helps manage $6 billion in emerging market funds at Aberdeen Asset Management Plc in London.
Garcia's Record
Garcia, 61, whose five-year mandate expires July 28, is banned by Peru's constitution from seeking re-election. During his term, Peru created 2.5 million jobs and had its first-ever investment-grade ratings from Moody's Investors Service, Standard & Poor's and Fitch Ratings.
Whoever is elected president may face gridlock in Congress. Humala's Nationalist Party won about 39 of the 130 seats in Peru's unicameral legislature, compared with 31 for Fujimori's "2011 Force" and 23 for Toledo's "Possible Peru" movement, according to exit polls.

Great leaders can indeed have a massive impact on their organizations and people. Like true superheroes, they can turn a bigger purpose into reality, they never give up, show courage, have the ability to face fears and apply a strong cultural code of conduct. Some are even so powerful that the mere survival of their companies depends on them. When Steve Jobs left Apple in 1985, the company went into decline and he had to return to save it. Also, Howard Schultz and Michael Dell took up similar rescuing come-back roles years after having left Starbucks and Dell, respectively.

By regularly "checking-in" with employees, leaders create emotionally sound companies able to help drive organisational change.
You face countless decisions each day and must determine which to make on your own and when to involve others. This is true no matter what your role or level, whether you are CEO, a project leader, or a team member. How do you know when to involve others in decisions?

Last week I took to social media to ask the question "What do you value most about your company and your leader?" It wasn't a large sample, but big enough to get some diversity of thought. Take a look at some of the responses I got back.
Executives' ability to see themselves from the outside and others from the inside, plays an important role in effective team formation
Employing great talent for your business is a skill and certainly, not one that's developed overnight, but once you've hired them it can feel like you've hit the jackpot. The next step is making sure the talent you have wants to stay, and to do that, you need to grow your employees.
It's the tricky thing about blind spots: Everybody has them, but often we don't even know they exist until they cause a problem.

This article is long -- but both good. The author interviews Facebook VP of Online Operations, Dan Faul where Faul expresses his conviction about the necessity of great storytelling for leaders.
Not only does this article talk about what makes a great story, but it actually discusses 3 pivotal stories every leader needs to tell -- including a personal failure story.
Faul makes lots of great points, and shares both the why and the how storytelling has made such a huge difference for him. Right on!

Not being approachable could be your biggest leadership blind spot
Via Marc Wachtfogel, Ph.D.
donhornsby's curator insight, July 25, 9:30 AM
(From the article): If you're struggling with approachability because of persistent shyness or fear of appearing vulnerable, you can still overcome the hurdle breaking the practices down into smaller steps and setting incremental goals for yourself that include practicing with people outside of work--on a plane, in line at the store, or in your neighborhood. For example, a micro-step for number 1 might be making the first move with one person at one event. The easiest way to do this is to scan the room for anyone else who is standing alone. Being approachable doesn't mean changing your core personality, it's simply a way to ensure that more people have access to you and what you have to offer.
Becoming more approachable will have numerous benefits in your career. You'll gain access to more information faster and grow your network by being known as someone who is interesting and engaging. Awareness of the importance of being approachable is a starting point. Then, these six tips can help you build that awareness and the skills you need to sustain and invite future conversations around the office.
Most people want to work for a caring boss. Not only is it more enjoyable, it's good for your health, according to research by Stanford professor Jeffrey Pfeffer. Compassion is certainly a hallmark of leadership effectiveness. But can a leader care too much? Shelley Row, a professional engineer and former transportation executive believes that caring for one's employees, while admirable, does have its drawbacks. It can stunt your team members' professional and personal growth. Moreover, misplaced concern and worry can overload leaders.

Over a year ago
Surprised no one posted about it on here yet, guess i'll be the first. I'm so upset. Just because he's volunteering with the Humane Society to regain his position in the NFL means that we should overlook the fact that he fought, bred, electrocuted, and hung these innocent animals. I am reading a book about his dogs called "the Lost Dogs" by Jim Gorant if anyone wanted to read it.

I think it is possible to change. Many of us have a past that incorporated exploiting or hurting animals. Yes Vick did do wrong and I don't believe he should ever have any animal for a pet. However, if he does want to change his life around and start doing the right thing, it should definitely be encouraged. he should have consequences though.You must be logged in to reply to this topic.

It seems like everyone has forgotten about his crimes. My mother actually told me that she thinks he could have changed "with the right help." I don't believe that at all. It takes years to sort out the kinds of mental illnesses that would enable a person to torture animals in the way he did. Not to mention he supposedly now owns another dog.
I read "The Lost Dogs" by Jim Gorant, and it is probably now one of my favorite books. It's sad and shocking in parts, but I loved it. It has definitely reaffirmed my hate for Vick.
Due to walking so many at my local animal shelter, I have honestly fallen in love with pit bull-type breeds. They are so amazing and are definitely not the monsters they are portrayed as.

"I have owned this car for 8 years after buying it as a certified used vehicle. Aside from normal wear, and a recent replacement of the catalytic converter (covered by warranty!!), the car has never failed me. Clutch still works great, never turned a break rotor, no electrical issues, ... just absolutely reliable! This car, with a short wheelbase, 5-speed manual and moon roof is a blast to drive on windy country roads. It hauls a lot when the seats are down, and I have been known to carry four bikes on top and two on the hatch. It looks great with a 17.5 ft kayak on top, too. This is the fourth Rabbit or Golf that I have owned in 20 yrs, and it really is the best."

"After driving and loving my 1986 VW Golf 4dr hatchback, manual transmission I decided that it was time for some air conditioning. So I went and found one as close to my 1st love as possible. Finally found one, 2005 VW Golf TDI 4dr hatchback, manual transmission. The only differance was that this one came with a sunroof, power everything and the color. Just as was expected, the mileage was the same. It will cost you just about a "1/2 pint" of gas/diesel to go any where. New, on the highway on a 12 gallon tank, I went 513 miles with the A/C blowing as fast and as cold as it would blow. City on that same tank, I went 445 miles. Very satisfied. After 8 years of driving, still very satisfied. Highway, is about 455 miles and city is 395 miles. I fill up about every 2-3 weeks depending on how much I drive. It now costs me about $43.00 to fill up, as compared to 8 years ago at about $28.00. The worst part about my car is that my interior is tan in color. With 8 years of driving and 2 kids, the interior could use a good steam cleaning. So for all of you who have had poor service from your VW, rest assured that every manufacturer has a "lemon" in the line up. Don't give up yet, there are definately great serving vehicles out there."

"There is something special about a Volkswagen, they drive like nothing else on the road. The handling of this car is no exception, it sticks to the road like glue and goes exactly where you point it. The Golf can be either sporty or economic and a little bit of both. I get about 30mpg on average with the 2.0L automatic, and other then some normal expected issues the car is very reliable. We've taken it on long trips with no issues. If I could afford a new one, I'd buy it... but even buying a used one has been a great experience."

"Purchased car new, covered 58,000 miles in 5 years, Handling very good, average 33 mpg overall, best was 42 mpg in hot weather. Rear brake pads wear out twice as fast as fronts there is no warning light for the rear pads, only the front. My model had cloth seats without a doubt the worst material ever (a static magnet for dust and cat hair) High sulphur diesel fuel presents a major problem of carbon build-up in the turbo, only recently can you buy low sulphur fuel here in USA. Strong engine the best ever traction in snow. Twice the car was towed into VW dealer because it wouldn't start in zero degees. Tires only 60% worn after 58,000 miles.

"I bought my Golf new and have put almost 90,000 miles on it in ten years of mixed city and highway driving. It has had very few problems along the way and always gets a clean bill of health at oil changes and tune-ups. Like other VWs I've owned, it came with far more standard features than comparably-priced Toyotas, Hondas, etc., with the additional benefit of being great fun to drive. It's peppy, goes from zero to 60 without even blinking, and handles like a much more expensive car. The fuel economy isn't great--I get about 23-24 miles in city driving and less than 30 on the highway--but it's acceptable. My only complaint is that the interior hasn't held up all that well: the straps on the hatch cover broke; the back seat no longer locks in the normal position; the knob for the side-view mirror adjustment broke long ago, so mirrors have to be adjusted manually. But those minor complaints aside, my Golf has been a joy to drive."

In the past few day I have been getting a lot of /++liker.profile_URL++ in my sites log files which is causing the 404 error. I can't find anything much in the way of help from google.

Whirlipede vs Garbodor!

Join Date:

This is actually a pretty hard decision honestly ;;. If you had asked me the same question a year ago, I would of instantly said Whirlipede but now that I think hard enough about it, I actually can't decide which one I like better out of the two. I used to hate Garbodor's design, I thought it was trashy (no puns intended :]) and just awful, but it's starting to grow on me actually! I think it;s adorable,those eyes and I know some people will say 'Oh it's uncreative and stupid!" but really, then again each generation has its flaws in design and creativity, so that's what I have to say.
For Whirlipede, personally I'm also rather fond of it, I recently started using Venipede and actually I must say it's a strong one! :D. I highly underestimated it and I was wrong for doing so ;;, also it's design is pretty cool. Although competitively I don't think it would be too good unless it held an Eviolite or something, even then it's still pretty bad. :(. Although in-game its wonderful! :3.
Aaand as for Garbodor competitively well, it's actually brilliant! I'm disagreeing with you Hikari, honestly Garbodor is great. It can set up Toxic Spikes,Spikes and lots more, also it learns some neat poison moves. Overall I think my vote goes to Garbodor this time!
pineapples are cool.

Willie's Bakery & Cafe: "Victoria's oldest bakery; fab breakfast" Victoria Restaurant Tip by Karlie85
Victoria Restaurants: 287 reviews and 327 photos
Willie's café and bakery is the oldest bakery in Victoria (1887), and also the home of a great little café. Dave and I went here on our last day in Victoria, a Sunday, for breakfast. The café was busy, but we only had to wait about 5 minutes for a table.
There are three sections to the café. The first section, when you walk in the door, has the bakery counter and some tables, the second section is an enclosed patio, and the third is an outdoor patio, which wasn't open. The first section is a little busier, a little more hustle-bustle, because there are people being served at tables and people walking up to the counter for take-away. We sat in the enclosed patio area, which was quieter and cozy.
Our server was a quite nice and upbeat young lady. One portion of the breakfast menu is only served until 11:30am (noon on the weekends) and another portion is served all day. There is quite a good selection, ranging from bacon and eggs and pancakes, to French toast, different kinds of eggs, and granola and yogurt. I ordered the "Two of Everything" , which included two eggs, two pancakes, two pieces of toast and meat (choice of two different kinds of sausage or bacon). I must say, the pancakes were the best pancakes I have ever had in my entire life. Anywhere. I am not exaggerating. I was finishing up writing some postcards at breakfast, and I literally wrote home about how delicious they were. Dave had the banana pecan French toast, which is banana loaf drizzled with pineapple and vanilla sauce and topped with banana slices. I had a few bites, and it was also absolutely scrumptious. All of the eggs Willie's uses are free run, and they were noticeably tastier than regular eggs.
We had a great experience at Willie's and would highly recommend it to anyone in Victoria.

Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma of the Breast
Dear OncoLink "Ask the Experts,"
I am in search of information concerning Adenoid Cystic Carcinoma of the Breast, and for some type of protocol. My friend has this cancer. I am wondering if the anti-angiogenesis drugs, that are newly approved, would be beneficial for treatment of this rare breast cancer?
Thank you,
James P. Stevenson, MD, Section Editor for the OncoLink Medical Oncology/Chemotherapy Menu, responds:
Adenoid cystic carcinoma of the breast is rare (accounts for < 0.1% of breast cancers). Women with solitary tumors that are surgically resectable have a favorable prognosis. Local recurrences in the breast are the most common recurrence, and should be surgically removed. The most common site of distant disease is the lung, and this can occur years after removal of the primary.
The only treatment for women with metastatic disease is chemotherapy, and the combination of cisplatin (or carboplatin), carboplatin, and etoposide (VP-16) has been the best studied.
It's unclear from your question whether your friend just had a local tumor removed or if she has metastases. If it was a tumor that was surgically removed, she should be followed closely with no further treatment. A yearly chest x-ray would be reasonable. For metastatic disease, chemotherapy should be started. There are no trials of anti-angiogenic agents alone for adenoid cystic carcinoma.
There are few (if any) chemotherapy trials for adenoid cystic carcinoma since it is uncommon. The only anti-angiogenic option would be a phase I trial but she should not consider this unless she has failed standard therapies.
Please have your friend discuss these options with her oncologist.

While Wheet a Bix or Wheetbix is a cereal I have grown up with all my life, my introduction to Bix in San Francisco was a revelation.
First up, it is a Jazz cabaret restaurant and aside from working a George Benson caberet gig at the Brisbane Hilton in 1990 as waiter, I hadn't really experienced cabaret dining. I am sure I am not alone. Aside from the yet to be visited Ronnie Scott's, I cannot name another caberet style restaurant in London.
On arrival, most of the tables were full and the band were in full swing when we arrived and had an aperitif at the bar. Our threesome we fortunate enough to have the booth on the balcony overlooking the stage which would was one of the most seductive settings I can ever recall. Fantastic but what about the food..........
The house Chardonnay was brilliant ! Just beautifully Californian.... bold, sassy ... a bit like the music really.
We all had the same starter/slider assortment of Croque Madame, Burger, Steak Tartare and Prawn Terrinne wrapped in Parma Ham. No rocket science but qood qualiy and fun. Main course was well made retro fun. I enjoyed a veal chop served on potato rosti with green beans and my wife enjoyed her table side prepared Steak Tartare.
The Bella Old Vine Zinfandel was superb, but we knew this as we had been to the vineyard days earlier on a tip off in the Sonoma Valley. In fact it is a shame we didn't more time to explore the wine list further as I am absolutely certain there were more hidden gems amongst it.
To finish off we shared a plate of chocolate brownies and homemade vanila ice cream which seemed the perfect way for our last meal in San Francisco.
The service was unassuming but equally effective and informative.... faultless. The band was really good and made me think why are we deprived of this fabulous entertainment in London. OK it wasn't George Benson but a fabulous evening where everything was equal.
When in San Francisco I will be back in Bix... for all that Jazz !

We traveled to PV and Costa Sur for our 4th or so trip to PV. I love this location just south of town, in the older resort "Romantic" neighborhood, and close in to old town and the beautiful River walk and Malecon. We wanted to stay in tis place South of town this time to get a better taste of the "Old Vallarta" of Hollywood legend, down near where Liz Taylor and Ricard Burton chose to purchase a home. This stretch of land is beautiful, scenic and steeped in history. Also is near a very cool little Mexican town called Boca de Tomatlan which is the gateway to a few small coastal towns to the South that are accessible only by boat... Las Animas, QueMixto, and Yelapa. It is where the jungle meets the sea and to us there is still something wild and untamed about it... yet soooo accessible and inviting! We ventured off the road and snorkeled Los Arcos on our own, from shore, easily and without a noisy "tour boat" atmosphere... an easy five to ten minute swim from the shore. We were greeted by and treated to our own personal welcome from a school of spotted rays, swimming in lazy circles on the ocean floor below us. Took a hike down the coast on a trail known by few and not yet exploited by tour companies... The "Costa Sur" was very nice, clean, extremely courteous and accomodating. There was a traditional Mexican wedding while we were there, with an excellent mariachi band, and colorful festivities, but not too overwhelming for all of us other guests... It was a delicious, colorful, and romantic place to stay for us, and the perfect location for the adventures we ad in mind and love to experience... Thank you Costa Sur, for your hospitality, service, and a wonderful "old world service" experience! :-)
