Homeland Defense: DOD Can Enhance Efforts to Identify Capabilities to Support Civil Authorities during Disasters
GAO-10-386: Published: Mar 30, 2010. Publicly Released: Apr 29, 2010.
In addition to its primary mission of warfighting, the Department of Defense (DOD) plays an important role in civil support.

In praise of the A272
The A272 winds along the South Downs through towns such as Petersfield, Petworth and Midhurst. Beautiful views, and interesting places to stop and wander.
Gill Tinker
The A272 proceeds calmly due west from the heart of Sussex into Wiltshire, where some fairly recent renaming has it disappearing at an insignificant T-junction – but it is a lovely road. Don't just take our word for it – find if you can the coffee-table book by Pieter Boogaart A272 – An Ode to a Road (Pallas Athene). It is not just full of gorgeous scenery: there are gems about local "things-to-see", and it still can lead you to visit out-of-the-way places.
Jenny Franklin
The A272 from Hadlow Down to Winchester and beyond (preceded by the A265 from Hawkhurst, Kent) is a road I have frequented through all seasons and all hours of the day and night, visiting my three children and their families, notably for emergency baby-sitting. They just happen to live within a few miles of this road: Horsham, Meonstoke in Hampshire, and Winchester. The art of enjoying this route is to travel at obscure times when traffic is very light! Then it is "my road".
Ursula O'Connor
Welsh wizards
I grew up next to the A5. In my late teens, every Friday night involved taking the A5 from Wolverhampton to Snowdonia and back in the small hours on Monday morning. At 3am with a full moon shining on the rocks and no traffic it was just magic.
Fred Kay
Try living near the A5 on a summer Sunday when the 1,000th (or more) motorcyclist has gone by, accelerating out of the bends which make it such a nice road, and filling the echo chamber of the Dee Valley with a reverberating screech from the shifting gears. The past decade has seen a 10-fold increase in noisy motorcycle traffic: time for the Welsh government to allow only electric bikes on its roads.
"Grumpy Old Green"
The best road in Britain is undoubtedly the A4069 between Upper Brynamman and Llangadog. It passes the little village of Bethlehem, and if your heart doesn't skip a beat at the scenery and the view then you are probably dead.
Colin Elsbury
Best of the rest
The A39 to Minehead over Exmoor is spectacular.
Mark Watson
The A6, a big beast like the A5, desolate and magnificent as it heads over Shap Fell in Cumbria, never fails to punish the hopeful cyclist.
Tom Hall
It has to be the A57 (the Snake Pass, across the Pennines): beautiful hillsides, running streams and idyllic villages.
Stuart Fenwick
Sorry you are not including B-roads: is there anywhere more evocative than the B6318 Military Road in the shade of Hadrian's Wall, and the place names? Walbottle, Heddon on the Wall, Halton Shields, Chester, Temple of Mithras, Housesteads, Vindolanda, Once Brewed, Greenhead, Gilsland, Birdoswald, Kirkcambeck, Lyneholmeford, Sleetbeck, Langholm. Drove east to west at dusk, and west to east just before dawn.

Mar 28, 2012, 03.53 PM | Source: CNBC-TV18
HP Ranina, corporate tax lawyer spoke to CNBC-TV18 about the contours of applicability of GAAR.
HP Ranina (more)
Corporate Tax Lawyer, | Capital Expertise: Tax
Below is the edited transcript of the interview. Also watch the accompanying video.
Q: We hear that the P-notes themselves are not getting targeted, but more importantly there will be several tests applied, one of the four test must be satisfied for the GAAR to apply, your reactions?
A: I am glad that they are clarifying this matter and that P-notes or participatory notes are not going to be targeted. I think it will certainly help to stabilize the market in the short run.
Q: The four tests have been mentioned and one of these four must be satisfied for GAAR to get applicable. Does it give you a sense that it will become applicable to a large number of cases because even one out of the four, if it is satisfied, the tax department can go ahead with anti-avoidance rules?
A: Yes, you are absolutely right. This will certainly create a lot of problems, for example in the case of companies set up in Mauritius, even if they just have a tax residency certificate that will not be accepted, they will have to prove that that company had some commercial substance, they are carrying on some activity, genuine bonafide activity and therefore, once the test is not satisfied, they will invoke the GAAR. Of course, that will happen from 1st April 2012, it will not happen in this week, but from next year, and that also it will happen only after the Finance Bill is passed and approved by the President of India, which would be happening in the third week of May. So from that day onwards, they will immediately start saying that you are not satisfying the condition of commercial substance in respect of your property, in respect of the company which you have, and therefore we will not give you the benefit of tax exemption of the treaty.
Q: The onus was so far on the FII to prove that the entity created was not primarily for tax saving purposes. The language that our team here is using is the I-T Department will also have to prove commercial purpose test, bona fide purpose test and misuse and abuse test. Do you think this is sort of passing on the onus now to the I-T Department to prove that the entity is not only for tax saving purposes?
A: Yes that will, but that doesn't give any benefit because the income tax officer will simply say 'I am not convinced that you are having any commercial substance in Mauritius, say you don't have so many employees, you are not doing any other work, you are just operating from a lawyer's office and therefore I am convinced that there is no commercial substance and therefore I am invoking GAAR.'
Q: So your sense is that a lot of investments out of Mauritius will not be able to hide under the DTAA and will become taxable you think?
A: Yes, it would mean that. In fact, it doesn't help the FIIs at all. It only empowers the Income Tax Department to take their stand, even if they satisfy on one issue, they will invoke GAAR and that is why what I said yesterday, most companies will now shift to Singapore because that is where there is some stringency in the laws, they issue a tax residency certificate only if you show that you are some employee, you are doing some other activity, maybe trading activity or any other activity then they issue the TRC. So a lot of FIIs are now planning to shift there, that's my sense.
Q: How much will FII investments be disturbed?
A: A lot of investments could come under a tax net if they still continue to operate from Mauritius because that is where the difficulties will arise. Unless they now change their position, they do some other activity in Mauritius as well and not just operate from a lawyer's office. So maybe they can also change, then those companies which want to retain the Mauritian tax benefit will now start some other substantial activity because as I said, GAAR will come into effect only from sometime in May once the finance bill is passed. Therefore they have couple of months to set their things in order. It all depends on how they reorganize themselves and to what extent they are still interested in taking advantage of the Indo-Mauritian tax treaty.
Q: There is also news coming in that the government will try and classify the P-note as a separate asset class altogether. Do you think direct investments that the FIIs have through a structure that's been created only for tax saving purposes could be hit, so does the focus now shift to direct FIIs and entities created for tax saving purposes and alleviates the P-note pressure?
A: Yes, it will now shift entirely to FII direct investments and P-notes obviously will be out of the tax, that will be for a time being, but we still have to wait and watch, things are pretty fluid at this point of time. We never know when the government may take a different view. So currently of course that clarification is helpful as far as P-notes are concerned.

Frak Yeah!
The scene probably requires a little bit of set-up, but I'm not going to bother -- other than to say that it involves a surprising and drastic measure taken during an astonishing rescue mission.
This one is basically for my own benefit and the benefit of all the fans of this spectacular show.
Watch and be amazed.

Chez, I have to agree with you here. The "Galactica in freefall" scene was totally badass! BG's probably my fave fictional TV show out there right now. The parallels they draw to current events (or what least what could be current events) is pretty amazing.
BTW, my likely fave show hands down as of late has to be by your (former?) co-worker Keith Olberrmann. The man is truly "an angry prophet denouncing the hypocrisy of our times."
Finally, when are you bringing Midweek Metal back? If Justin can do it with sexy, this should be of little effort...

Our new initiative to help more dogs find loving homes.
Join our community of over 1 million dog lovers.
Filed Under: Adult
Browse More Articles
When people think of a working dog, they usually think of a Labrador Retriever or German Shepherd. But strange as it may sound, Shih Tzus are now in high demand as working dogs for the hearing impaired.
Hearing (or signal) dogs help people who are completely or partially deaf. Their main responsibility is to alert their owners of any important sounds in the home, workplace, and public area around them. Hearing dogs are trained to react to everyday sounds such as a doorbell ringing or alarm clock, as well as fire alarms and police sirens.
Not only do hearing dogs help people physically, they also help them gain the confidence to live an active and independent life.
What makes the Shih Tzu an ideal hearing dog?
Although Shih Tzus are well suited for the hearing dog job, there is one small drawback. Any owner of a Shih Tzu has to have the patience to groom him. As a long-haired dog, the breed needs to be groomed on a regular basis.
At PEDIGREE® Brand, everything we do is for the love of dogs, from the dog food we make to the dog adoption drive we support.

'It's that time of year, the leaves are falling from the trees, it gets dark at 4pm.... Which means winter is coming and it's going to get cold. Before you get too down remember there are still things to look forward to. There are holidays, food, snow days, parties, more food, dessert, leftovers, (maybe) not having to move a car during snow emergencies…. And of course there is awesomest part of bike winter: Winter Beards!"

As our Olympians may well appreciate later in the year, the only thing better than winning a gold medal is winning a gold medal with a bit of history attached to it. The biggest stage is the best place to rewrite the record books so, at this week's annual jump-racing championshipfest in Gloucestershire, step forward Big Buck's.
The nine-year-old gelding is odds-on to set a unique mark at the Cheltenham Festival and equal a record winning streak that has lasted for 59 years. Yet this is a horse with none of the popular acclaim of his Paul Nicholls stablemate Kauto Star, a Desert Orchid or a Red Rum; he has not yet leapt the fence that divides his sport from a wider public.
He is one of the best and classiest jumpers ever to have leapt an obstacle, and is peerless in his own specialist sphere. But there's the rub. Big Buck's is not a steeplechaser,with all that job's implied boldness and glamour. He's a hurdler, plying his trade over three-foot-six of flattenable, gorse-packed timber panels rather than four-foot-six of close-packed, unyielding birch. And even among hurdlers he's not one of the perceived elite, those who skim over the minimum distance of two miles. Big Buck's operates over the long distances that are jump racing's least fashionable division.
But he has made being a marathon man sexy. On ratings, which can be used to assess horses of different talents and eras, he is currently the best hurdler in training, better even than the two-mile king Hurricane Fly, due to defend his Champion Hurdle crown on Tuesday and himself judged the best of his ilk since the magnificent Istabraq.
On Thursday Big Buck's, unbeaten in his past 15 races, will go for an unprecedented fourth Ladbrokes World Hurdle, the Grade One stayer's crown. Victory would also enable him to equal the record sequence for a jumper set by Sir Ken, the last of whose 16 serial successes came with the second of his three Champion Hurdles, at the 1953 Festival.
The first step of Big Buck's road to immortality was almost accidental; he reverted to hurdles as a confidence-booster after a clumsy series of efforts over fences. And since he started his winning run in January 2009 he has galloped relentlessly into the hearts of those closest to him and of regular racegoers alike.
At Nicholls' Somerset base Big Buck's is regarded with the same awe and respect accorded to Kauto Star. "He perhaps doesn't get the credit outside the sport that he deserves," said the trainer, "but we're very privileged to have a horse like him, and we know it. Every season I've kept thinking something will come out of the woodwork and give him a real fright, but he just keeps beating them all. What he has done already is quite remarkable; four World Hurdles and equalling that record would be phenomenal."
For his trainer, Big Buck's is a challenge. His ability is beyond doubt, but his personality would keep a convention of psychiatrists happy. He hates being alone, he paces incessantly round his stable, has a tantrum if he is not first of the Manor Farm inmates to be fed in the morning and, as he does not always put it all in on the training gallops, is tricky to bring to peak fitness. "Whatever it takes," added Nicholls, "we'll indulge him."
In his races, Big Buck's is no longer the recidivist he once appeared to be, but can still toy with his supporters' faith with an indolent style and the finishing burst that has to be delivered as late as possible. But for rider Ruby Walsh, whose velvet-fisted horseman's style suits the quirky gelding perfectly, what we see is not what he gets. "Stayers are not supposed to be able to quicken and win on the bridle like he does," he said, "that's why they have to be stayers. But this one has got such an engine, just pricks his ears and goes. He doesn't do flashy, but he'll keep running for you."
For the owner, Andy Stewart, and his family, particularly son Paul during his recovery from a serious spinal injury, Big Buck's has become an inspiration. "Going back over hurdles with the horse after he's been chasing was a bit of a bonkers idea hatched by a mad genius [Nicholls]," said Stewart, "but it doesn't look so bonkers now. It is all a bit of a nervous responsibility and he's bound to be beaten sometime. But win, lose or draw on Thursday, he'll always be special."
Big Buck's cost the wealthy City man a reputed €£400,000 to headhunt as a youngster from France, has earned more than £1 million and will be chasing a purse of £260,000 on Thursday, part of the £3.3 million available this week for 28 contests over four days. Big bucks, yes. But this horse is beyond figures. Big Buck's, priceless.
One pick a day
Tuesday Scotsirish (Willie Mullins) Glenfarclas Cross-Country Chase
One of the classiest recruits to the specialist discipline in recent years. Twice a winner at Punchestown this term and not his fault to be taken out, with victory in sight, by an errant rival on his firsttry at Cheltenham. Compensation awaits.
Wednesday Vendor (Alan King) Fred Winter Juvenile Handicap Hurdle
Showed encouraging potential and an excellent attitude on his winning British debut, rallying determinedly after losing all momentum with a slip at the last hurdle. Can show he has also slipped under the handicapper's radar.
Thursday Sonofvic (Paul Nicholls) Pertemps Final
Two for two over hurdles as a novice and has been redirected back to the smaller obstacles after failing to take to fences this season. But has enough of an engine to have run Grands Crus to two lengths on his chasing debut.
Friday Boston Bob (Willie Mullins) Albert Bartlett Novices' Hurdle
Could not have been more impressive in winning a Grade One on his second hurdles run, then carrying his penalty to victory next time. His target has yet to be confirmed but banker material wherever he turns up.

My Reviews
Great snack
Posted by khessel on Jul 26, 2012
Macadamia nuts are very expensive in South Korea, so I like ordering them from iHerb. I really love chocolate covered Macadamia nuts, but I prefer to make my own using 85% cocoa organic dark chocolate. I used a recipe by Mark Sisson, author of "The Primal Blueprint" to make dark chocolate bars with these macadamia nuts , sprinkled with some Celtic sea salt. Delicious! I know chocolate is not really "primal", but organic chocolate (85% cocoa preferred) is one of the indulgences Mark Sisson mentioned he allows himself in his book.
Great product
Posted by khessel on Jul 25, 2012
I was so happy to see that iherb has Brazil nuts in stock. I have not been able to find them here in South Korea yet. I will definitely buy them again.
Great for Pregnant Women
I bought this product because I had pretty bad morning sickness in the first trimester of my pregnancy. I simply could not tolerate the taste of fluoridated toothpaste. (This also made me wonder how wise it is to use toothpaste with fluoride in it, since I was sensitive to many toxins). This toothpaste worked wonderfully. I will probably continue to use it in the future as well.
O.K. for Castor Oil
Posted by khessel on Aug 17, 2012
Not really sure about the rave reviews about the effects of this on skin. I read that it is supposed to even out skin tone, and it didn't really seem to work. It is good as a moisturizer.
Bragg products are great
Posted by khessel on Aug 16, 2012
This is great on salads. I am sad to see it has been discontinued. :(
Nice scent
Posted by khessel on Aug 10, 2012
I purchased this product with the Avalon Organics Lemon Shampoo. It smells lovely. I would buy it again.
Good source of B6
Posted by khessel on Aug 11, 2012
Brewer's yeast was one of the recommended as a supplement during the 1st trimester of pregnancy in a book I read, "Real Food for Mother and Baby", by Nina Plank. (Of course according to the label, you must consult a physician if you are pregnant before taking this product).
Great Product
I have tried a few of the other "Avalon Organics" shampoos, but this one is my favorite. I love the smell. I have used Paul Mitchell's "Tea Tree" shampoo before, and it made my scalp tingle. I did not have that problem with this shampoo. I have purchased this product a few times already, and I plan on ordering it in the future.
Great Product
This is a great compliment to the Avalon Organic Tea Tree Mint Shampoo. I have tried a few of the other Avalon Conditioners, but this one is my favorite.
Great product
Posted by khessel on Apr 30, 2016
I purchased this product to get rid of a UTI and it worked like a charm. It's better than drinking cranberry juice because most brands contain sugar, which can actually aggravate an infection.
Great Product
Posted by khessel on Aug 23, 2012
I was glad to find this product on iHerb, I can't find this spice here in South Korea. I also love that it is organic.
Great taste
Posted by khessel on Aug 29, 2012
I purchased this product because I had read somewhere that it can help alleviate morning sickness. Nothing helped me with morning sickness except for magnesium oil. However, I do like the taste of this tea, and I plan on drinking it every day starting with week 32 of my pregnancy to help make my labor go more smoothly.

Our unelected central planners don't appear to have the faintest clue what's really going on.
In this clip from The Macro Show, Hedgeye CEO Keith McCullough briefly explains how he's positioning his portfolio during this period of central bank-fueled market confusion.
(Don't worry. We don't bite)

Editor's Note: Below is a complimentary Early Look written by Hedgeye CEO Keith McCullough on 8/8/16 discussing why U.S. growth will continue to slow. It's particularly prescient given the less-than-stellar August U.S. jobs report released a few weeks later. Click here to get the Early Look delivered in your inbox weekday mornings.
"If you want to be the best, you have to do things other people aren't willing to do."
-Michael Phelps
I don't know about you, but I absolutely love watching the Olympics. As a boy (pre internet), I used to write down every medal for every country, comparing my totals to what I could find on TV. I got used to penciling in American Gold. #MaryLouRetton!
Now my 8 year-old son Jack keeps score for me on Google. After Michael Phelps won a record setting 19th Gold last night (I was in bed), that took the American medal count to 12 vs. China and Australia at 8 and 6, respectively.
I am Canadian. We're in 18th place with 1 Silver and 1 Bronze. But somehow we beat USA's Men's Volleyball Team in straight sets yesterday. That was a golden moment for Team Canada. Yes, since we don't win many golds, we're in it for the moments!
Back to the Global Macro Grind…
Gold itself got hammered on it, but in what seemed like a golden jobs report moment for American Goldilocks last week, both the SP500 and Nasdaq closed at all-time highs of 2182 and 5221, respectively.
I wrote those down too.
Since I'm short the Nasdaq in Real-Time Alerts right now, that sucked (for me). That said, memories can be short. If you were shorting the all-time highs in most things US Equities in July/August of last year, you were feeling golden come the February 2016 low.
What is American Goldilocks?
- Forget the 2-3-4%, we need GDP of 1% (but definitely not 0%)
- Earnings to "beat" beaten down expectations (and still be negative y/y)
- A Dovish Fed that pretends to be hawkish so they can go back to dovish
- The "but, but… the labor market is good" political narrative
- Stocks and Bonds near their highs for the YTD, at the same time
Yep. Don't worry. We're all in the 1% now.
And since our predictive tracking algo for US GDP is around 1% for Q3, why can't this continue? Especially if the next jobs report goes from "good" to bad again, bonds (and stocks that look like bonds) are going straight back up.
From a US stock market perspective, here's what I wrote down for last week:
- SP500 +0.4% last week to +6.8% YTD
- Nasdaq +1.1% last week to +4.3% YTD
- Financials (XLF) +1.6% last week to 0.8% YTD
- Tech (XLK) +1.3% last week to +9.9% YTD
- Consumer Discretionary (XLY) -0.1% last week to +4.4% YTD
- Utilities (XLU) -2.7% last week to +17.2% YTD
In other words, it was mostly a hopeful move higher in US interest rates that drove the Sector Style Factor performance last week. Since most macro tourists don't do the rate of change thing, they saw a "good" jobs report as great. Bond Yields rose on that.
The US Treasury 10yr Yield was +14 basis points on the week to 1.59%. That drove the Financials out of the red, temporarily, for 2016. And it slapped a big correction on the biggest macro gold medal winners YTD (Utilities, Gold, etc.).
The other big thing that continues to manifest is a #StrongDollar move. That's something we didn't have wrong last week:
- US Dollar Index +0.7% last week and +2.6% in the last 3 months
- EUR/USD down -0.8% last week and -2.8% in the last 3 months
- British Pound -1.2% last week and -9.7% in the last 3 months
I'm using the last 3 months for our FX view as that's when we started getting louder on both Gold and the US Dollar winning the Currency War. A big part of this view has been complimented by our Q3 Macro Theme of #EuropeImploding. While the goldilocks narrative is fun for all things American right now, both the UK and Europe are heading into a protracted recession.
I know, I know. #StrongDollar, Strong Gold (+5.2% in the last 3 months) isn't exactly a panacea for all things "earnings"… Then again, we need to get to Q3 #EarningsSlowing before we see how sweet American Goldilocks is looking come The Fall.
With the pace of non-farm payroll growth slowing to a new cycle low of 1.72% year-over-year in JUL (vs. +2.1% JUL 2015), the probability continues to rise that jobs growth slows to 0%. And 0% isn't 1%. That won't even be in contention for bronze.
Our immediate-term Global Macro Risk Ranges are now:
UST 10yr Yield 1.45-1.60%
Gold 1315-1385
Best of luck out there this week,
Keith R. McCullough
Chief Executive Officer
Takeaway: Lower oil prices means less babies being born in Texas.
Editor's Note: This is an excerpt from a recent research note by Hedgeye analyst Josh Steiner. Email firstname.lastname@example.com for info on how you can subscribe to our institutional research.
Birth rates at the national level declined to -6.2% Y/Y...
...while those in Texas and Houston decelerated even more.
Texas saw birth rates fall in August to -8% Y/Y while Houston declined to -13.6% Y/Y. Those are the fastest rates of decline at the national, Texas and Houston levels since the Great Recession.
Takeaway: A freeze now would just throw a lifeline to US shale.
Editor's Note: OPEC will meet informally on September 26-28 on the sidelines of the International Energy Forum in Algeria spurring speculation that a production freeze may be under consideration to stabilize prices. The following is an excerpt from an in-depth client note sent this morning. To see the full note and all five reasons not to expect an OPEC production freeze later this month, please contact email@example.com.
1. For Saudi Arabia, it's too soon for a production freeze. The market is still oversupplied with record crude inventories. Therefore, in the Saudi's view, more cap-ex cuts and production declines are needed to bring the market into balance, otherwise the last two years of pain - costing the Saudi's about $100 billion a year - were for naught.
In 2014 when the Saudi's declined to intervene with production cuts to limit the price slide, the market share strategy was launched. Saudi Arabia realizes they are no longer the only actors affecting oil markets, especially in light of surging US shale production. If the Saudi's cut production to stabilize prices, they lose market share.
The strategy called for a period of low prices that would force production declines in high cost production (shale & off-shore mega projects). After one year, the Saudi's, and most everyone else for that matter, were surprised at the resiliency of US shale. So the Saudi's were determined to ride out another year of low prices to starve non-OPEC production. What followed were cap-ex cuts two years in a row and a steady decline in US production. According to the IEA, global cap-ex cuts since 2015 are now at $330 billion, and Wood Mackenzie further estimates cap-ex cuts in global upstream of nearly $1 trillion out to 2020. Meanwhile, US production has steadily declined about one million b/d from a high of 9.5 million b/d n April 2015.
But crude stocks are still at record levels – a stark reality that is putting a damper on the market-is-balancing party. The most recent EIA data for the week ending September 9 reported crude stocks were at 510.8 million barrels - up 55 million barrels this year and 100 million barrels above the five-year average.
The Saudi market share strategy has worked. The IEA said this week that Saudi Arabia has ousted the US as the world's top producer. So the last thing the Saudi's want to do now is to put the brakes on a strategy that is working for them. A production freeze that boost prices will only encourage more US production.
As we have seen this summer, price signals near $50 have slowed declining production. Just this week, the IEA changed its previous forecast that the market was balancing at year-end and now says non-OPEC production will rise in the first half of 2017. Rising non-OPEC production is anti-freeze to the Saudi's. Another nail in the coffin of a production freeze later this month.
So a freeze now would just throw a lifeline to US shale. In our view it is still too soon for any change in OPEC production policy. Saudi Arabia is more nervous about oil at $50 than $40 because they know it keeps US shale alive. The barometer for any new change in OPEC production policy is declining US production, and Saudi Arabia wants to see more of it.

Here's the kicker – of the 263 basis points in share gain for e-commerce, 177bps of it came over the past 12 months. That sentence might be worth rereading. It's huge, and I can assure you that no self-respecting brick & mortar CEO is taking about that. Those that are probably are on their way our [case in point – HBI's CEO has 16 days left on the job. Macy's has 108]. Those guys know the drill.

Caught in a (Real) Security Bind
RealNetworks finds itself at the mercy of an exploit writer who refuses to share details of a gaping hole in the widely deployed RealPlayer software.More than a month ago, on Dec. 16, 2007, a Russian security research firm released an exploit for a zero-day vulnerability in RealNetworks' RealPlayer software into a subscription-only exploit package. The vulnerability, which still exists in the most up-to-date version of the cross-platform media player, is still unpatched because RealNetworks has been unable to get data on the bug from the creator of the exploit. Gleg, one of a handful of legitimate companies that create and sell information on software flaws and exploits, has released of video of the exploit in action as a tease of its availability but, despite repeated pleas from high-level officials at RealNetworks and the Carnegie Mellon Software Engineering Institute CERT/CC (Computer Emergency Response Team), has refused to share details on the bug.
"We're just hoping we can get the information to investigate and determine if it's legitimate," says RealNetworks Vice President Jeff Chasen. "We've repeatedly asked Gleg to share basic details [of the vulnerability] to help us get it fixed but they said they needed more time. We've done all we can to track down this issue."
Without access to the information, Chasen says it's impossible to figure out if there's something to fix and because of the severity of Gleg's claim, the company is nervous that the information might leak out to the general public and put millions of its customers at risk.
The Gleg exploit is legitimate and described as "very serious" by an IT administrator with access to the company's VulnDisco exploit pack. "Basically, you play a corrupted song file in RealPlayer, you're owned. It's that serious," he said, requesting anonymity for confidentiality reasons.
To read more about the zero-day exploit in the RealPlayer software, click here
Gleg founder Evgeny Legerov confirmed his company's refusal to share the RealPlayer exploit details, arguing that he needs "exclusivity" for a few months to help his customers understand the level of risk they face.
"We tried to work with vendors in the past and and received a very negative experience," Legerov said in an instant messaging exchange with eWEEK. "So right now, the answer is no, we're not sharing [with RealNetworks]. We need an exclusive time period to protect our customers."
Legerov said his customers pay for access to exploits to do things like study bad programming practice, create IDS (intrusion detection system) signatures and scan networks to look for holes that hackers can use to attack networks.

HPRC Blog
Welcome to the HPRC Blog. We've got lots of information here, from quick tips to in-depth posts about detailed human performance optimization topics.
HPRC Fitness Arena: Physical Fitness
Recovery Care Coordinators (RCC) help wounded, ill, and injured service members, their caregivers, and their families navigate the recovery, rehabilitation, and reintegration process. They help ensure a smooth transition from a recovery and rehabilitation setting back into the civilian community or, in some instances, back to military duty. An RCC is the first point of contact within each of the military services' wounded warrior programs. RCCs are located at military treatment facilities and installations throughout the country and overseas. Referral to RCCs can come from the service member, a caregiver, a family member, medical personnel, or a wounded warrior program. For more information on the referral process (and for contact numbers), read this factsheet.
How do RCCs help support service members, their caregivers, and their families during what is often a difficult and stressful period in their lives? The RCC develops a comprehensive recovery plan (CRP) with the service member, caregivers, family members, and the recovery team to identify goals and resources needed to achieve those goals, such as assistive technology, education, employment, or housing.
The DoD Office of Warrior Care Policy is responsible for oversight, policy of the Recovery Coordination Program, and standardized training for all RCCs, but each military service branch implements its own Recovery Coordination Program in accordance with DoD policy. The terminology may differ with service (for example, advocate, care coalition, recovery care), but the mission and the standards are the same. Check out the following links for service-specific information:
The benefits of exercise in the postpartum period (six to eight weeks after delivery) include decreased physical, mental, and general fatigue, in addition to improved fitness and motivation. It may even reduce depression, as long as the exercise relieves stress rather than provokes it.
Some women who exercise during their pregnancy and immediately resume exercise after giving (vaginal) birth aren't at risk for post-partum complications (such as excessive or prolonged bleeding, uterine inversion, or infection). However, most women don't meet the recommendations for exercise during pregnancy, so when you do resume exercise, you should do so gradually.
You may be concerned that exercise could decrease your milk supply; however, exercising women who drink enough fluid (stay hydrated) and eat enough to meet their caloric needs continue to produce enough breast milk. Composition of breast milk remains the same with moderate exercise intensity, but vigorous exercise can cause lactic acid to appear in the milk, which could affect how well your baby accepts your milk. Consider nursing before participating in vigorous exercise.
Returning to physical activity after giving birth depends on the individual. Be sure to discuss your exercise habits and plans with your doctor before resuming your regular workout routine. Visit this web page from The American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists to learn more about exercise in the postpartum period. Stay healthy for you and your baby!
Service members and their families relocate a lot, and moving to a new home is hard enough without adding injury. Here are some tips on how to properly handle heavy objects such as moving boxes and furniture, and how to take care of yourself if you do sustain an injury:
- Wear less-restrictive clothing such as looser-fitting pants or workout clothes.
- Wear closed-toe shoes.
- Take breaks when necessary. Stretching and reassessing your mechanics can help you maintain proper posture when lifting. HPRC has tips on how to maintain flexibility and remove tension in your body.
- The U.S. Army has fact sheets on Lifting Techniques for handling heavy objects and How to Safely Perform Pushing and Pulling Tasks.
- Remember to keep your core tight, and use your leg muscles rather than your back to lift heavy objects.
The best way to prevent back injury is to strengthen your back and core muscles. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has suggestions and exercises to help build your back.
If you're sore from all the lifting or think you may have pulled something, you can treat the pain with ice and rest—and perhaps an over-the-counter pain reliever—for the first 48 hours. Follow NIH guidelines on how to further treat your back pain if it's acute. However, if the pain persists, consult your doctor to rule out a more serious back problem or injury before you do any more heavy lifting. If all seems well, consider core-strengthening exercises to support your back. Another option is a yoga class to relieve your pain, build your muscles, and return your back to normal function.
For more about how to protect your back, please visit HPRC's Injury Prevention Series. Good luck with your PCS!
Have you heard the terms "resilience" and "Total Force Fitness," but you're not quite sure what they mean or where they fit into the health and performance picture? Read on.
Your health is the foundation. The 2010 article "Why Total Force Fitness?" states, "nothing works without health." Health is not just physical and not just something to worry about when you're sick. Health is a combination of physical, mental, spiritual, and social well-being and includes practices that promote wellness in addition to those that help you recover from sickness or injury.
Resilience is next. Resilience is the ability to bounce back—or even better, forward—and thrive after experiencing hardship. It is not the ability to completely withstand hardship but rather the ability to come back from it and grow stronger through the experience.
Next is human performance optimization (HPO). Unlike resilience, which typically requires the experience of hardship, HPO involves performing at your best for whatever goal or mission you have (whether that is your PT test, a combat mission, or raising children). It goes beyond simply resisting challenges; it means functioning at a new optimal level to face new challenges.
Health, resilience, and optimal performance are the foundations of Total Force Fitness, which is defined in the "Physical Fitness" chapter of "Total Force Fitness for the 21st Century" (see link above) as a "state in which the individual, family, and organization can sustain optimal well-being and performance under all conditions." Being totally fit requires a holistic approach—that is, an approach that doesn't focus on just one aspect alone such as nutrition or physical fitness, but on multiple domains of fitness. It means attending to your mind (including psychological, behavioral, spiritual, and social components) and your body (including physical, nutritional, medical and environmental components). In order to achieve Total Force Fitness, these factors come together to enhance your resilience and/or performance.
This is where HPRC can help you on your quest for total fitness. By visiting each of our domains—Physical Fitness, Environments, Nutrition, Dietary Supplements, Family & Relationships, and Mind Tactics—you can get evidence-based information on a variety of holistic topics to help you achieve and sustain total fitness. But remember that total fitness is a life-long process that will ebb and flow. And it isn't just about you; your loved ones are an important piece of the picture, too.
For in-depth information, visit the Total Force Fitness Articles section of HPRC's website.
For older men, it's especially important to lead a healthy and physically active lifestyle since the risk for certain chronic diseases increases with age. Multiple studies have found that as little as 30 minutes a day of moderate- to vigorous-intensity exercise can significantly lower a man's risk for heart disease and related risk factors such as diabetes, high cholesterol, and high blood pressure. Age is also a significant risk factor for developing prostate and colorectal cancers, which makes prevention and risk-factor management even more important for older men.
Exercise has been linked to lower risk and rates of death for prostate, lung, and colorectal cancers, the three most common cancers experienced by men. So get out there! Take a brisk walk, go for a jog, swim, bike, play tennis, even certain heavy outdoor yard work is acceptable for this purpose. If you need more structure, try a gym—many fitness centers offer military discounts on memberships and personal training sessions. Some military facilities also offer group and family recreational activities. The important thing is to find an exercise routine that you enjoy. If it's not fun or motivating then it's not likely to become part of your lifestyle.
The benefits of an active lifestyle are numerous, but prevention is one goal to keep your regular exercise program on the right track. Be sure to consult with your physician before starting an exercise routine, especially if exercise is new for you. Living a healthy lifestyle and getting screened for health complications are important ways to maintain readiness, resilience and optimal performance.
The 2015 Warrior Games will be held June 19–28 at Marine Corps Base Quantico, Virginia. From 2010–2014, the Olympic Committee hosted the Warrior Games in Colorado Springs, Colorado. This year, DoD has taken over organizing the event.
The Warrior Games use adaptive sports and athletic reconditioning to help service members recover, rehabilitate, and reintegrate following injury. This year's games will feature almost 200 wounded, ill, and injured service members from the Air Force, Army, Marine Corps, Navy, and the British Armed Forces competing in eight different sporting events. Get more information and details about this year's exciting and extremely competitive event!
Individuals who practice Bikram (hot) yoga find themselves in a 104°F room for up to 90 minutes, performing various poses and breathing exercises. This intense form of yoga claims to improve flexibility, mental focus, strength, and overall fitness. Researchers have found that Bikram yogis exhibit lower stress levels, improved endurance, muscle strength, and balance after as few as 20 yoga sessions in 8 weeks. Some older adults who participated in Bikram yoga even experienced a decrease in body-fat and improved overall glucose tolerance.
Despite these potential benefits, there are also risks with doing yoga in such an extreme environment. During a Bikram yoga session, people's core temperature and heart rate can reach dangerous levels associated with heat illness. To reduce the risks, experts suggest sessions of 60 minutes or less, slightly lower room temperatures, and frequent water breaks. Instructors should remind their students to stay hydrated and replenish the water that they're losing through sweat. If your instructor discourages water breaks, you should find a new instructor.
If you're new to yoga, we recommend starting off with more traditional styles of yoga that do not involve high temperatures. Traditional styles and gentle yoga (including stretching with yoga) are also beneficial and safer for adults who may be less heat tolerant and/or are beginners.
Many people find Bikram yoga to be challenging and enjoyable, but it's important to be smart about this kind of workout.
If you limit carbohydrates and underfuel your body, your performance may suffer. Carbs feed the working muscles and help maintain blood sugar. In addition, carbs help you recover after a difficult workout or mission.
Underfueling by limiting carbohydrates can be intentional—when limiting calories, avoiding gluten, or losing weight. Or you may be limiting carbs unintentionally if you are unsure how many carbs to eat or if you're are skipping meals or snacks due to limited time or money. And female warriors are more susceptible to under-fueling.
So what type of carbs should you be eating? Properly fuel your body by filling your plate two-thirds to three-fourths with carbs such as fruit, vegetables, whole grains, beans, and dairy. Choose a variety of fruit and vegetables to maximize vitamins, minerals, and fiber. Whole-grain breads, grains, and pastas provide more performance-boosting nutrients than white-flour and refined versions. Low-fat dairy products contribute carbs along with protein and calcium.
Carbohydrate needs differ depending your activity, type of exercise, and intensity, and your calorie needs and may change from day to day. For more information on carbohydrate needs before, during, and after activities, see HPRC's An Athlete's Guide to Everyday Nutrient Timing.
Keep on eye on your weight and performance to help you determine if you're taking in too few carbs. If you're losing weight without trying or find yourself having trouble performing at your best, you may be underfueling. For more personalized recommendations on carbohydrate intake, visit a registered dietitian.
A staggering number of Americans (approximately 36 million) have hearing loss, and one-third of those probably could have been prevented. Hearing loss continues to be a safety hazard for Warfighters at home and in the field. So how do we combat this not-so-silent epidemic? Here are a few tips to help you protect your hearing.
- Wear a hearing protective device (HPD). HPDs should be worn for noise levels at or above 85dB. Not sure what 85dB really means? Check out this guide to occupational noise levels. Also check out "How Loud is Too Loud?," a graphic designed to inform Warfighters about how and when to choose the proper HPD for their jobs.
- Learn how to wear your HPD correctly. Even if you have the correct protection, it may not be effective if you're not wearing it correctly.
- Always have disposable HPDs handy. Disposable HPDs are lightweight and easily portable. Make them a part of your everyday gear.
For more information about how to protect yourself against or to seek help for hearing loss check out the DoD Hearing Center of Excellence website or make an appointment with your local hearing loss treatment center.
High-intensity exercise is no longer a new fitness fad, and your children can benefit from this type of exercise too. It's established as the most efficient way to improve overall fitness. And with this month's focus on military children's health, now is the time to teach yours good habits for the future.
This doesn't mean that you need to take your children to a trainer for high-intensity interval training. What it does mean is that they should be getting the type of exercise or play that makes them breathe hard and gets their heart thumping. Both traditional and high-intensity exercise improve fitness in children and teens. This can be useful if you find your children getting bored doing the same kind of exercise or play all the time.
Remember when encouraging your child or teen to be active to let them find the kinds of activities and play that are most enjoyable for them. If your child is a competitive athlete and/or being trained by a professional, keep an eye out for symptoms of overuse, overtraining, and other injuries. Developing kids can experience the same kinds of injuries as adults. Help your child stay fit and healthy, and keep your family ready and resilient.

Re: Wine
The Contucci house on the main piazza in Montepulciano has a very tasty range of Vino Nobile and white wines available to sample and buy. The enoteca in Montalcino is remarkable, it sits inside the shell of a walled fortress and is an amazing place to have a sipple or three!

Canucks looking to deal Schneider
It's getting interesting. 2 sources say Corey Schneider is in play. 1st and a prospect part of asking price. Suspect Oilers in on talks.

Canucks still trying to trade Luongo
The Vancouver Canucks are still trying to trade goalie Roberto Luongo and seem confident they'll be able to do so in and around the NHL Draft.
Several teams have expressed an interest in Luongo, but the veteran netminder has a say in where he gets dealt to.
Sounds like official John Tortorella announcement as VAN head coach is tracking towards Tuesday.
— Bob McKenzie (@TSNBobMcKenzie) June 23, 2013
Roberto Luongo to Islanders? Bob McKenzie puts it out there
The Isles have young players they may be willing to deal and they sure could use a all-star caliber goalie to re-establish the franchise and give John Tavares someone to get excited about playing with. It's a club very much on the upswing and GM Garth Snow, having been one himself, knows that Luongo, who for all the media attention this past season in Vancouver, played great, could take them over the top. Naturally a stumbling lock would be Canucks GM Mike Gillis taking on Di Pietro and talking his boss, owner Francesco Aquilini , into buying him out.
Luongo mad after being hung out to dry in 3rd
Wow. Luongo off the ice, undressed, showered, and out of the arena in 12 mins. I believe you call that FUMING.
— Andi Petrillo (@andipHNIC) April 28, 2013
Canucks land Roy, now look for someone to play with Kesler
Having landed the centre they've needed to get their team to think attack — instead of cowering in fear and hoping to score a goal or two — the Vancouver Canucks now pursue a quality forward they hope will play with Ryan Kesler.
According to assistant GM Laurence Gilman, Roy slots in as a third line centre playing with Chris Higgins and Jannik Hansen and Kesler will centre the second line when he returns with Mason Raymond (if he's still here) and one would presume either Zack Kassian or new winger.
Roy to the Canucks
Canucks have acquired Derek Roy from stars for D Kevin Connauton and a 2nd rd pick.
Did Roberto Luongo refuse earlier deal with Maple Leafs?
Did Roberto Luongo give the thumbs down on a potential trade to the Maple Leafs last summer?
So says Sportsnet's Doug MacLean, who claims Luongo refused to waive his no-trade at the time in the hopes that a deal was in the works that would have reunited him with the Florida Panthers, the team he broke into the NHL with.
According to MacLean, a tentative off-season deal for Luongo was in place at the time between the Leafs and Canucks.
Do you think a Luongo for Bozak trade would be fair for both teams?
[yop_poll id="26″]
Is Leafs' Bozak headed to Vancouver for Luongo?
According to Vancouver Canucks assistant general manager Laurence Gilman, the Luongo trade chatter is becoming more than just web scuttlebutt.
"Mike is in discussions with multiple teams … Talks are beyond the tire-kicking stage," Gilman told the Vancouver media referring to Canucks general manager Mike Gillis.
Various reports from the left coast suggest Leafs centre Tyler Bozak is in the mix. Bozak will be an unrestricted free agent this summer.
The Leafs have been sniffing around the NHL's goalie market and have held talks with the Canucks regarding Roberto Luongo. While Vancouver has always coveted centre Tyler Bozak to help shore up the middle, it will be interesting to see if this deal can get done. Getting Luongo would help the Leafs stabilize their goaltending for the next six years.
Luongo to the Leafs still a possibility
Simple facts are these. Leafs have talked to VAN this week about Luongo. Leafs have some interest. Price has dropped. That's all for now.
— Damien Cox (@DamoSpin) March 29, 2013
Vancouver needs to bulk up at centre — and Roberto Luongo is the only ace up general manager's sleeve
This brings us back to Luongo. Years of suspect drafting and trading picks, by this regime and the one that preceded it, has left the Canucks without a bankroll of prospects from which to purchase help at the deadline.
They can't afford to trade Nicklas Jensen or Brendan Gaunce or Frank Corrado or this year's first-round pick. Who they can afford to lose is Luongo.

Tara is on a knife edge. She's focused not on her future with Danny but on her past. A trainee solicitor, Tara knows enough to put her corrupt former employer and his drug-baron client in prison for years. Till the case comes to court she needs sanctuary, and she prays this country refuge is it.
Danny and Tara are at the heart of a drama that's racing towards a deadly conclusion. Can the innocent emerge unscathed, or was Kirsty's murder only the beginning?

"High drama in the stables."
Good story lines with lots of twists.Two storys in one but easy to follow and all comes together in one twist at the end. John Francome is a very good alternative to Dick Francis. I will definatly read more of his novels.
"Well described characters, that you warm to even though their deeds are not always honourable."
Twists and turns and an unexpected ending. John Francome is as good, if not better, than ever!

Dragon's Dogma Trailer Features More Beast Battling
Written Wednesday, February 20, 2013 By Richard WalkerView author's profile
Capcom has released a new Japanese trailer for the upcoming release of Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen, the massive retail-only expansion that adds new monsters to slay and a brand new area called Bitterblack Isle, filled with fresh quests to take on.
In this latest video there's more beast-battling action, as your hero - which can be ported over from your original Dragon's Dogma save - and his/her pawns take on the likes of the Elder Ogre and a menagerie of other fearsome creatures, including dragons and oversized wolf-like rodent monsters.
Check out the latest trailer for a glimpse at some of the new beasts you'll have to cut down in Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen when it launches on April 23rd in North America and April 26th in Europe.

|how to centralize configuration accross multiple modules
|Tue, 05 Oct 2010 12:50:18 GMT
Hi I have a integration test with several sub-modules. Currently each one has its specific configuration. How can I centralise the configuration in 1 single place? I would like to have 1 single file per environment with: scrum1_team.properties frontend=st1_fe_server backend=st1_be_server ... scrum2_team.properties frontend=st2_fe_server backend=st2_be_server ... And have all modules to use the same file when they need to use some of the properties. I would like then to pass a parameter to the mvn command (eg. mvn -Denv=st1) and it would pick up the appropriate resource file depending on the environment. What would be the best way to implement something on these lines? regards Emerson

It was quiet and dark in here. I seach for a sound hopelessly. All I have now is you. Would you listen if I talked to you?
My name is Nyxstra Karina II, Empress of Fugu. I am the embodiment of the Yin-Yang.
"Empress!" She could just barely hear the Captain call out to her. The whirling storm kept her pinned down as the ship thrashed around helplessly in the water. "I'm coming over there!" Just then, another salty wave rolled over the ship and the Empress felt her vision grow dark.
It's been a long time since that happened. I'm sorry I had to bother you with it. My thoughts have been drifting off a little too much since I came here. I am awaiting something big, so I suppose it's all right. You're probably wondering why you can hear me. Well, I'm part Stelleyay, and I can communicate telepathicly.
The Empress stretched, then jerked up. "I'm alive!" She looked over, seeing Captain Artech laying on his side on the other end of the beach. "Captain!" She ran toward him, but stopped short. An officer, dressed in the red and white of Entemia stood before her.
I've been here only for a few days, but it feels like weeks. I wish you remembered me....
"What are you doing here?" The officer spoke with a gruff accent. "I...my ship crashed." Suddenly a grin spread over his face. "You are the Empress of Fugu!" He turned and yelled at his fellow soldiers. "I found her! Come over!" He grabbed his gun, hitting the Empress on her head to knock her out.
I'm sorry you have amnesia, Captain. I'm sorry we both have to die.
