TORONTO — Carries, passes out of the backfield, the odd receiver route, making people miss — all qualities any successful running game owns.
In Toronto Argonauts training camp, there is a simple mandate for the handful of running backs vying for the starting spot come Week 1: Protect Ricky Ray.
There is no doubt that the reining East Division Most Outstanding Player is the Boatmen's meal ticket and head coach Scott Milanovich makes no reservations about that fact.
The key to the Argos success is keeping Ray healthy and keeping him off the ground. This is what makes the running back spot in Toronto so unique. Block and protect first, get your touches second.
"It's very hard in our league to go eighty, hundred yards without any sort of big play and that's the hard thing about our tailback," Milanovich told CFL.ca this week. "We want a guy who can make a guy miss and is great in the open field, but he still has to have enough courage and strength to protect Ricky. So those guys can be hard to find."
Even prized rookie, Anthony Coombs — who the Argos traded up for and selected third overall in the Draft — sounds like a veteran when asked about protecting Ray.
"If you don't keep him (Ray) clean you won't see the field, no matter how talented you are as a running back."
Coombs had high praise for the three-time Grey Cup champion quarterback.
"Ricky is our offence, without him we are a totally different team. He's a veteran and probably the best quarterback in the league."
How valuable is Ray to the Argos?
In games where Ray has played most of the game, the Argos are 14-8 (.636) and when he's injured or missed a game the Argos are 7-7 (.500) during his two seasons in Toronto.
The only returning running back from last year's Argos roster, Curtis Steele, was blunt about the running backs priorities in camp, when asked about protecting the Argos pivot.
"It's very important, in a matter of fact it's our number one job," he said.
Another Argo newcomer, Jeremiah Johnson, spoke about the crucial part of any running back in the Argos scheme is to protect their most valuable asset under centre.
"Like coach said, you have a potential hall of famer back there; we want to keep his jersey clean, keep him up right at the end of the play and we want to keep him throwing those dimes. That's our number one, first and foremost keep that man up and clean."
If any of these running backs don't take protecting Ricky Ray seriously, no matter how many yards they rush for, Milanovich has no problem in sitting or cutting the player.
Look no further than Cory Boyd.
During the 2012 season, Boyd was on a tear to begin the season. After six games he was the league's rushing leader; accumulating 447 yards and averaged 5.5 yards per carry, however he wasn't an efficient enough blocker in the backfield.
Milanovich made it very clear that it was one of the main reasons the Double Blue released the star tailback mid-season.
It caused a stir at the time and questions were raised – rarely do you see a team cut the league rushing leader in the middle of the season, but this paved the way for Chad Kackert to take the carries and help protect Ricky.
Amongst the questioning period of cutting Boyd, it seemed to work as well as put all backs on notice.
Not many people questioned Jim Barker or Milanovich as they went on to win the 100th Grey Cup at home in Toronto.
In the midst of one of a heated running back competition with the sudden retirement of Kackert, Steve Slaton put it in perspective.
"If you can't protect the quarterback then you're not going to be on the field. "
Whoever emerges as the starting running back for the Argos this season, one thing is guaranteed, they'll be the best blocking back on the roster.

By Nishad Pai Vaidya
Gautam Gambhir and Virender Sehwag, the once feared opening partners, find their cricketing career at crossroads. Both men have lost their Test spots, with Sehwag losing his one-day berth as well. During India's rise to the summit of the Test rankings and their build-up to the 2011 World Cup, such a scenario would have been unimaginable as they often laid solid platforms. However, their fight and skills are now under test as they chart out a comeback — the 2013 Indian Premier League (IPL) being their first shot at redemption.
The IPL will not help them get back into the Test side, but a good performance here could do wonders to their confidence. Gambhir has already stated that the tournament isn't a comeback platform, but its importance cannot be understated. It certainly provides a platform and there is more visibility when compared to other domestic tournaments. Shane Watson's brilliant performance in the inaugural edition fast-tracked his comeback into the Australian one-day team and he hasn't looked back since.
Sehwag will come into IPL season six with less pressure on his shoulders. Mahela Jayawardene has taken over the reins of captaincy and that allows the Delhi dasher more freedom. Knowing Sehwag's typical uncomplicated mindset, the responsibility wouldn't have affected his batting as such. But, with that gone, there is always a sense of a lighter load.
IPL 2013 will help Sehwag plot a comeback into the Indian one-day side. His last T20 International was during the ICC World T20 2012 and his last One-Day International was against Pakistan in December. India's first assignment after the IPL is the tri-nation tournament in the West Indies and Sehwag should target that. If he can replicate his form of IPL 2012, he would be a serious contender for a berth for that tour.
Back-spasms have ruled Sehwag out of the first game and Delhi have to wait for him to enter the field of play.
Gambhir is still in the mix for the one-dayers, but needs to rediscover his fluency and form. In the last few ODIs, he has gotten off to starts, but failed to convert them into significant scores. During the IPL 2012, he unleashed a previously unknown side to his batting. The usually stable but attacking Gambhir shifted gears and was more aggressive. He combined that streak with his ability to stay in the middle to anchor numerous innings for Kolkata. His efforts were a major factor in Kolkata's title triumph.
Coming into the latest season, Gambhir will continue to carry that air of dependability around him. Kolkata have good batsmen to back him, but Gambhir is their trump-card up front. The pressure on him may be a little more this time with the expectations sky high after the last success. In the past, he has always thrived under pressure and has the temperament to get through. Indian fans would hope the tentative prods outside the off are a thing of the past and that he plays with his natural flourish.
The Indian selectors have sent a clear message in the recent past — perform or perish. Gambhir and Sehwag are tested performers and cannot be written off. It is imperative that they get the runs in the IPL, a performance that would tell the selectors that they mean business.

He shot to fame by spotting a wrong replay during IPL4 which resulted in Sachin Tendulkar's dismissal. His insights on the game have come in for high praise from cerebral former cricketers. He has also participated on live TV talk-shows on cricket. Nishad can be followed on Twitter at http://twitter.com/nishad_

The King History ForgotTrivia brain teasers have some element of trivia in them, but they are not just pure trivia questions.Who was this ruler of bygone ages?
Who was this monarch of old? Why is he absent from history's pages? Why of him is so little told? His little daughter had music skill. He was a man of jolly mirth; His amphitheater topped a hill, But we'd know little of his worth, Except...! Someone wrote a bit of rhyme That gave him immortality.

All are beautiful Andy, that Recluse is stunning!!
I'm real excited about a few of the knives in this batch. Some new models, and some regulars that really came out fine.
First up is the new Camp Knife. Its got a 7" blade, and a 5.5" handle. They're made from 01 steel thats 5/32" thick and 2" wide. Full height convex grinds are thin demons. These have tapered tangs. One has stabalized Ash crotch with natural canvas liner, pins and bullseye filler, and the other is a base price model with natural canvas micarta and black pins and bullseye. These two are available. I will have to make a sheath for them. Leather will cost, micarta will be more affordable. $350 for the micarta knife, and $375 for the stabalized Ash beauty.
Also, the first of the bigger Choppers is ready. Its got Shadetree burlap and black pins and bullseye filler. Its 2" wide, 15" long, 5.5" handle, 5/32" thick 01 steel. This one may, or may not be sold.
Check out this pretty Recluse. 5/32" thick 01 and tapered tang.

Spf on those then. Thanks guys.
Andy Roy
I think the hunter and ladyfinger are mine Now I will have to wait for shipping, it takes at least 2 weeks to get past customs into Canada.
Great to see you. Have you done any work with the materials you bought at BS? Why not post pics of your work here?!
Andy Roy
I know you don't take orders so.... got any more hunters coming up?
Any 14" machetes coming up? Preferably in wood handles?
Grate looking knives. Was that the whole batch or just a few?
The only one I have finished and still here is this one. And yes I need a better Camera, this one sucks.
The knife is 9 1/2" total 5 1/8' blade 3 1/16 thick with black g-10 and stainless pins.
How is this looking for knife #4?
P.S. what wood is on that Recluse?

The Future
41 comments:
The future is bright we can see light at the end of the tunnel! I believe that Barack Obama is definitely what this country needs. I've followed his great words and he is going to turn this turmoil around.
We the people reviewed all the applications and elected the best person for the job. We have seen history in the making and it's because of us that it occurred. I'll leave you with some thoughts I had today!
"Time is too slow for those who wait, Too short for those who sleep but for those who rejoice, time is eternity!" Let us rejoice in our day in history.I've just watched the inaugaration and just after got a text from my 23 yr old son in London, it said.... 'We now have a new President' And were British
I think that says it all that if both my sons are seeing President Obama as a good thing then there is hope in the world.
I think it was President Roosevelt said ( but could have been another one!) the only thing we fear is fear itself.
Go America Go
xxI just watched the inaguaration and have CNN on as background to my day...
I am so excited to have a new fresh force in the White House. Obama has an energy that uplifts the soul. It is amazing how I feel like I know him and Michelle...just goes to show that he has really beleives we are all connected, we are all one!I have to echo the comments of others. I feel emotional and hopeful, and grateful today. I'm glad to be alive to witness this piece of history today. The future feels bright!
As a side note, I love the photo! anyone know where it was taken? I live near Ithaca, NY, where the Dalai Llama has his US home base.http://www.namgyal.org/
Happy Inauguration Day to all!your pictures ARE beautiful. they're full of grace, style, and iwannabethereness.
your posts ARE positive. trust me, where i live three bullet holes in your doorway and not a scratch on your body is considered a good day. i love coming here.
here's hoping that all that UP just keeps on comin'
oh, and just in case, i am SO glad we've turned a political corner.
even if Barack Obama turns out to be the worst President we'll ever have, today is a great day!
don't ask me why - - - i may go on a rant.
ok, . . .
the last eight years were brutal.
to paraphrase: the last eight years have left me depressed, paranoid, and suicidal, luckily i live in New York City.
oh, congratulations on the recognition of your work.
bye. :-)couldn't agree more with your admirable sentiments. congratulations on blogs of note.
masterymistery at cosmic rapture- AnonymousJanuary 20, 2009 at 1:05 PM
what is wrong with you multiculturalists, you think this racist negriod is going to solve all your problems? Our forefathers did not want a multicultural society! That is why the minorities didn't have the right to vote!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDelete I'm enjoying your blog. Don't feel any pressure - just write as you always have. I admire your photography and your ability to share your life through blogging. Today was an awesome day. Everybody at work stopped for an hour and huddled around one computer in a stuffy cubicle to watch the Inaugaration. There were cheers, gasps, lots of clapping and even some dancing! GREAT DAY!
ReplyDeleteDoreen,a day to rejoice indeed.
Byrd, i love that story and i told it a few times, love the Roosevelt quote!
Momo,what a day.
Diana, Happy I.D. to you too,yes, to us all!
ok Geli, just get better and we'll go up together.

Val, yesterday..great..so you were able to watch? will mail with news soon.
Thanks everyone!
xxx LoriI read an article this morning and it said "President Obama", even just reading that phrase made me happy! I read a great blog that has a European's look on this great time in our history. It's not just Americans that are feeling this happen around us, to us. The link is under my Inauguration Day post. It's a good one. Glad you were BON and it lead me to your great blog and outlook!
PS- I also LOVE the photo! I'm SO curious about Buddhism, but I'm embarassed to buy the "Buddhism for Dummies" book! Any suggestions for someone with a new interest?Lori, thank you so much for the welcome and the joining my own little (very little) group of smiley faces.
I think that- even when blogs explode and a sense of almost public forum takes hold- the personal and the people who really feel a connection with you will always win out.
In regards to your new president...
Here on the other side of the world its a great feeling to see the winds of change.
I have had quiet a few friends, and a few partners from the states and its always been a touchy point with Australian friends- comments such as 'oh I can't stand Americans... look what they're doing in Suchandsuch, they don't care about the rest of the world...'
Its great to feel this shift from the outside but also to feel that the American people are stretching, rubbing their eyes and saying, 'Oh hey we're part of a global community and we can use our power for good and peace!'
xxxGia, thanks for the comment!
Cam, thank you, i'll tell my husband, it's his pic(that's me in the front kayak!)
Reya, yes! yes! you have the right advice, and thanks, the paper came out on sun, Chuck came home a few hours before!
My frogs, thank you for the great comment. Buddhism...the first thing that comes to my mind is Pema Chodron. She is most clear in her thought and words. For me anyway. I suggest reading "When things fall apart". The title is not what it seems. Also "start where you are", you can find these and many more at shambhala.com.

Think one company can't make a difference? GE Real Estate begs to differ. In November, the Norwalk, Conn.-based firm launched a major initiative to green its entire apartment and commercial property portfolio. GE will evaluate its current holdings and invest in green retrofits and upgrades where it makes financial sense, as well as green its acquisitions going forward. The effort is bound to have a big impact—the firm generates more than $30 billion in annual transaction volume across 28 countries.
"We have been going green on an ad hoc basis for several years now," says Jonathan Kern, GE's global chief investment officer. "What is new and important for an organization of our size and scale is that we said it's not enough to do this on an ad hoc basis."
GE's green commitment includes a partnership with the Clinton Climate Initiative, a program launched in August 2006 by The Clinton Foundation to work with major cities and members of the business community to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in large urban areas.
The firm will focus on retrofitting buildings, since 90 percent of the company's portfolio consists of acquired assets. The green retrofits will include everything from swapping light bulbs to overhauling HVAC systems. "If you look at the world of real estate, we build 1 percent or 2 percent a year compared to what's already in place. So obviously, the opportunity is much, much greater for buildings that are in place," Kern says.
GE plans to share its findings to show that going green—while earning green—is possible.

Will Apple, Facebook, Google or Mondo swallow the banks?
Traditional banks need to radically change their digital skillsets and structure says Axelle Sznajer, head of European fintech at global executive search firm Egon Zehnder.
Digital tanks are firmly on the lawn of the financial sector and the recent launch of Apple Pay should erase any lingering doubt over their urgent need for a dramatic response. The general public could be forgiven for thinking most banks and financial services providers are tinkering while the likes of Apple, Facebook, Google or even Alibaba move aggressively into this space.
We have discussed this with financial services companies around the world, recently publishing the findings in a paper which concludes that the time for incremental change has passed and a different approach to talent and transformational leadership is needed to address this market disruption. When you think that, in 2013 alone, Starbucks took in $4bn (£2.57bn) in customer deposits through its loyalty card, it's not hard to see why and it is not about protecting against future threats, it's already happened.
Most of today's incumbent financial services players are reacting to this revolution. The challenges – and opportunities – are immense, yet few senior leaders realise how profoundly their business needs to truly change in an increasingly connected world. Every bank has a 'digital strategy' that they feel unique but until they fundamentally change the customer engagement and experience, that differentiation will not protect them against powerful disruptive players.
On the plus side, today's financial industry is still largely trusted to be the gatekeeper of valuable insights on what we consume and how we transact. Potentially, this presents an extraordinary opportunity to re-define the nature of banking and financial relationships with consumers. But, to achieve this, banks will need an entire different digital skillset and organisational structure.
A power shift
Given this context, I was recently asked what the future banks will look like. I certainly have no crystal ball but if I may suggest a different question: how will consumers fulfil their financial needs in the future?
It is not about providing better products but realising that customers have choices and are becoming more sophisticated in their demands and expectation of how their needs are fulfilled. The digital revolution is not about technology or enhancing existing propositions but about moving from a product-centric mentality to a consumer-demanding service approach at scale. This requires banks to rethink their entire business model with a fundamentally different corporate engagement and a change in skill set and focus.
Digital talent is key
Without the right people in place to transform the business, banks will not be successful in making the shift. Talent across the whole customer engagement value chain – from product design to branches to Boardrooms – will determine which firms succeed. A fierce battle for a scarce digital talent pool is already well underway with financial services firms competing not only with each other but also with disrupting start-ups seeking to overturn the established order and companies from other, less regulated, industries undergoing similar shifts. Fortunately, re-defining the future of financial services is the kind of challenge which appeals to many digital executives. How you attract, develop and retain talent is going to be the ultimate measure of success.
We're often asked for advice on what constitutes 'digital talent' and how to identify and develop digital leaders as well as – importantly – what existing leaders can do to help digital transformation succeed.
As much as experience is coveted, the reality is that no one has done this level of transformation at scale before. While competencies provide an important inventory of a candidate's current capabilities, I suggest looking less at experience and competencies and much more at an individual's potential to succeed in the face of this fluid and complex digital power shift.
There are wonderful disruptive visionaries out there but I would strongly advocate not losing sight of those who have true execution capabilities and the DNA to call to action. Lean execution is paramount with the ability to cut across silos. Often, this means that organisations must be brave and look at talent outside of the sector to bring best practices and a different way of thinking and making decisions.
Sweeping organisational change
But finding the right individuals is only part of the story. It is crucial to have unwavering support from the very top of the business, both at executive committee and board level, to drive this change. This sounds obvious but few are truly willing to do what it takes as it often translate into organisational change and results in reshaping roles and accountabilities. This is a long-term journey that will face resistance and most certainly require cannibalisation of certain existing businesses, allow experiments to fail and suspend traditional measures of success, such as ROI.
This amounts to asking the existing leadership of banks and financial services companies to embrace a fundamental shift in how they run their businesses. Executing on this imperative may be one of the biggest challenges of all.

We had a great time in Sevilla! The city is wonderfull, sunny, full of life and with many things to do and see.
The appartement is located very well, you can walk to the centre and in Macarena
it is very nice staying too...
The landlord, Germàn, gave us a warm welcome and was very helpfull with finding a parking place.
We enjoyed our stay and we can certainly recommand thuis appartement!
We loved this apartment! It was spacious, very clean and check in process was smooth and friendly! The big surprise was this apartment's amazing location! We were steps away from the bridge (foot friendly) which lead right into the historic city center. We loved that this apartment was in the Triana district, famous for beautiful, affordable pottery....I highly recommend the large pottery store which you can see from the balcony of the living room. Yougurt shop directly underneath apartment was great for our kids each night. Recycle stations were super close which we appreciated! There is a lovely market to the left with delicious croissants and lots of fresh fruit....little advice for Americans who are used to pinching the fruit...don't do it here....just admire the display and let the shopkeeper choose the fruit for you from behind the counter. We got snapped at : ) Be advised to bring your OWN shampoo, soap, blowdryer. This was probably the only downside. We traveled by air, so we weren't carrying shampoos, etc and had to buy low quality supplies at the dime store. Otherwise perfect stay!
Thank you for the fantastic apartment in the wonderful city of Seville!
Those looking for a place to relax for a day or two on a hectic tour of the region, will love this place. An amazing place with very friendly hosts. Don't miss out on the best Sangria ever made at the local pub just around the corner!
Terrible value for money, even discounted. The apartment itself is ok, the marble floor is kind of fun, but it's not very comfy and it lacks plenty of little things that make a place homely (no internet, no coffee machine, no kettle...). It is a lot smaller than indicated, that is the 145 square metres include the terrace, which has a nice view but is quite windy. It is indeed well located, the neighbourhood is very charming and it's directly opposite the Casa Cuesta, a fantastic place to eat in the evening.
The service is absolutely terrible, after having anounced our arrival time 2 days in advance, we called an hour earlier while on the road and got told we would have to wait an hour because the host couldn't make it to the apartment in time. We had our 4-month old baby with us so it was pretty much out of the question. Fortunately the cleaning lady could wait for us in the apartment and give us a key. Thumbs up for the cleaning lady, she was very nice and helpful!
So we never met our host, which might have been for the best as I was quite pissed of.
Big and quiet apartment, so close to the city center.
Great place to stay in Sevilla and a lovely host (Eva). The roof terrace is a nice extra asset. Lots of great local bars and restaurants in the area. Definitely recommended.
Great location. Small, but perfectly formed and well equipped. Quiet despite central location. Terrace made all the difference.
Хорошая квартира, отличное расположение, приятный район. Огорчило отсутствие электрического чайника, греть воду для чая и кофе в кастрюле не очень приятно. В остальном всё понравилось. Спасибо!
Fick en ljus,fräsch och mycket trevlig lägenhet med härlig havsutsikt i västerläge som hade alla behövliga facitileter. Nära till stranden, restauranger,affärer och den underbara Park de la Paloma. Inom promenadavstånd fanns tillgång till buss och tågförbindelser men också för bilburen perfekt med fri bilparkering. Thank´s for a lovley four weeks.

Steamboat Springs Their older counterparts have played more soccer, but the Steamboat Springs Under 10 girls and boys teams proved they have the skills as well, earning trips to today's finals in the Steamboat Mountain Soccer Tournament.
The boys will fight for the title at 9 a.m. at the high school field. Steamboat United went 3-0 during pool play, defeating Trebol White, 5-1, and two teams from Casper, Wyo., 3-1 and 3-2.
Steamboat's representatives in the U10 girls division, the Steamboat Fury, will follow the boys at 10:30 a.m. at the high school. They went 1-1-1 in pool play but came up with a victory in their final game to secure a trip to the finals.
Not to be outdone, the U18 girls Steamboat team defeated the Riverside Renegades, 2-0, to advance to today's finals as well. They will play at 9 a.m. at Ski Town 2.
The Fury dropped their opening game against the Laramie Blizzard, 1-4, but tied their second and won their third to advance to today's game.
Friday and Saturday marked a busy day in pool play on almost all of the town's soccer fields as 131 teams played in the 18th annual Steamboat Mountain Soccer Tournament. Steamboat Springs had 11 teams in the tournament six on the girls' side and five on the boys' side.
Steamboat's U16 representative in the girls bracket, the Steamboat Speed, is regarded as one of the better teams in town and in the state. As a premier U14 team, they were bumped up two age divisions to meet tournament entrance criteria.
The difference between junior high soccer and high school soccer showed as the girls were exposed to faster more physical play against the three teams they faced, going 0-2-1 in pool play.
Coaches Christi Ruppe and Danny Tebbenkamp said the girls were upset they didn't win a game, particularly their final one against the Colorado Edge of Arvada, but all summer long they have been facing strong competition as the incoming freshmen prepare for high school soccer.
"They improved through the whole tournament," Ruppe said.
Both coaches thought the Speed's first game, a 2-1 loss to Rush Azzure, was technically their best. In the second, the coaches said they ran into a talented, quick group of Blue Angles from Hawaii and lost 0-4. The third against the Edge ended in a 2-2 tie.
In other local action, Steamboat's U11 boys, the Steamboat Stampede, finished 2-1 in pool play, scoring a combined 11 goals while giving up four. The Steamboat Blowdown, a boys U12 team, went 0-3 in pool play. The U13 boys, the Steamboat Bombers, went 1-3, dropping their Saturday games while winning their opening game, 5-1, over the Tosa Terror. Steamboat's U16 boys team went 1-2.
On the girls' side, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, a U11 team, went 0-2-1. The Steamboat Cyclones, the U12 team, went 0-3. The U13 team called the Steamboat Strikers went 0-3 as well. Steamboat's U18 team went 1-1 in pool play, dropping a 4-1 contest against RC United from Riverside and beating the Caser Blades U17, 3-2.
Lightning delayed a number of games Saturday afternoon, but lights at several of Steamboat's fields, a rarity in most tournaments, enabled games to continue into the evening.
Rainfall, heavy at times, left spectators scrambling for umbrellas and blankets but didn't seem to damper the spirits of the players who welcomed the relief from the unseasonably warm temperatures this summer.
Soccer fans, local and out-of-towners, are encouraged to stay for today's finals and semifinals, beginning at 8 a.m. and continuing through the afternoon on most of the soccer fields in town.

I have said it numerous times to numerous people that I think Jimmy Fallon is probably the unfunniest man in America. Not that he isn't a nice guy, just that humor isn't his thing. Did you watch his monologue last night? I cringed after every piss poor joke. You need better writers and to switch up your delivery.
The reason my TV was turned onto NBC at that hour was I heard that Anna Kournikova was going to play Fallon at beer pong. So as they ponged, the end result pretty much sums up what I think of the comedian. Total fail.
Although he has pretty much proved me wrong at every stage of his career. Maybe I am the total fail.

Senator Hillary Clinton gave a speech on energy policy at the National Press Club earlier this week, and in stark comparison to President Bush's speech on energy policy at Limerick yesterday, had little to say about nuclear energy:
Nuclear is now very much in the news as a potential power source because of its lack of contribution to global warming. If you look at nuclear energy, which currently provides 20 percent of our energy with virtually no emission of greenhouse gases, we do have to take a serious look, but there remain very serious questions about nuclear power and our ability to manage it in a world with suicidal terrorists.Needless to say, we believe the industry has answers to many of these questions already. A good place to start would be a speech our CEO Skip Bowman gave at MIT earlier this year that directly addressed questions on safety, cost and waste. As for the industry's relationship with the NRC, a speech Skip gave at the agency's RIC conference in 2005 is a good place to start, while the keynote he gave at NEA 2006 also addresses several regulatory issues relating to the agency's future workload.
So I have real concerns, specifically about a plant in my state near where I live, Indian Point, which has had a number of problems, and more generally with the capacity and quality of the oversight provided by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
So we need to resolve problems with the NRC, as well as questions of cost, safety, proliferation and waste, before we go forward with nuclear power.
For a look at the security issue, be sure to read the testimony NEI Senior Vice President and Chief Nuclear Officer Marv Fertel submitted to the House Government Reform Subcommittee on National Security, Emerging Threats and International Relations.

And so the Latina Staff Health Challenge comes to a close, but my personal one is far from over. Throughout these 90 days I saw how it was possible to gain weight if I kept on top of things and then how easily I lost it if I so much as skimped on a meal. The frustrations came in when after gaining several pounds within the first few weeks, I lost a couple just as fast. I had to banish my scale to underneath the bed when I saw how much importance I was giving those numbers. That constant up and down affected my motivation to keep trying.

Over the course of a rough 2008, I lost an alarming 10 pounds. Not much to some, but when you're already treading through underweight territory, it can be downright dangerous.
My wake up call finally came late last summer, the morning after I'd weighed myself in at 76 pounds. I nearly blacked out in the middle of the street on my way to work and spent the rest of the day in the hospital. As bad as my immediate diagnosis was (a scary combo of starvation, dehydration and exhaustion that lowered my blood pressure), I had a tougher pill to swallow several weeks later.

I might have gotten off to a rocky start, but since seeing some results I've gotten on track. For starters, I've been eating breakfast before I walk out the door in the morning instead of four hours after I wake up. Nutritionist Christina Persaud said that not only was I missing out on chances to pack in extra calories to my diet, but that I was also messing around with my metabolism by having my first meal so late. And she was right. I'd often get a headache during my commute and get to work ravenous and cranky: an awesome recipe for inattentiveness.

I'm unbelievably impatient and will quickly lose interest if I don't see results right away. Previous attempts to gain weight by eating greasy burger after greasy burger were always short-lived because I wouldn't gain a pound. I've since learned that eating just one big meal and slacking off for the rest of the day was not going to cut it.
Well I'm thrilled to say that I've already seen the numbers go up on my scale! I'd leveled off at 80 pounds since November and in the past four weeks I've gained—drum roll please—five pounds!

Big Dog throws a cinder block 17 ft.
March 5, 2013
BigDog handles heavy objects. The goal is to use the strength of the legs and torso to help power motions of the arm. This sort of dynamic, whole-body approach to manipulation is used routinely by human athletes and will enhance the performance of advanced robots.
Boston Dynamics is developing the control and actuation techniques needed for dynamic manipulation. The cinderblock weighs about 35 lbs and… read more

Korset: Linux security thanks to static analysis
Coworkers at the University of Tel Aviv have presented a prototype for a new host-based intrusion detection system (HIDS) for Linux. Named Korset, it uses static code analysis and promises zero failures.
A host-based intrusion system (HIDS) models an application's behavior and if the behavior deviates from the model, it sends an alarm. Earlier methods of intrusion detection depended either on static data derived from machine learning or on program policies created by developers. In the views of Professor Avishai Wool and kernel developer Ohad Ben-Cohen, the first method is susceptible to false positives and the second one costly.
Instead, Wool and Ben-Cohen use a behavioral model automated through static analysis of source code and object files resulting in control flow graphs (CFGs). Since most attacks are accompanied by system calls, the CFGs limit themselves to these calls and document the legitimate pattern for each application. If a program deviates from the pattern, the kernel ends the process.
Korset consists of two parts: a static analyzer in user space and a runtime monitoring agent in the kernel. The analyzer is drawn into the program's build process and creates a CFG for each executable, object data and library. The Korset runtime monitor is built into the kernel. Once a detected program runs, the agent monitors any resulting system calls and compares them with those of the CFG model.
Wool's and Ben-Cohen's report to the Ottawa Linux Symposium 2008 (PDF) includes further details about their work, as does their presentation at the Black Hat US 2008 conference.
A Korset prototype download is available under GPLv3 terms. The developers designate the implementation as pre-alpha software not yet ready for use, but proof-of-concept.
Won't protect apps that include an interpreter.
If you apply this technique to an app that embeds an interpreter (mod_python, say), and programs written in the interpreted language can make system calls, then wouldn't the Korset analysis conclude that any sequence of system calls that any script could make was legitimate? That might well be "any arbitrary sequence", leaving Korset with no illegitimate sequences by which to recognize infiltration.
Now, if Korset could analyze the script itself, not the interpreter, then you might get more information. But languages like Python and Ruby are so dynamic that static analysis can't usually tell you much, unless you restrict the language.
Not all that useful
I watched a video of their Blackhat presentation, and while It sounds like a good idea when demo-ed on the simple apps the present, this HIDS does very little to protect against larger pieces of software where all an attacker needs to do is figure out where in the CFG their shellcode is running,and then get to a point where they can make the sysycalls they want (e.g. execve) and then write shellcode that makes all the relevant syscalls, which may not even increase shellcode size drastically as it could just be a loop through a set of integers which uses each char as a value for eax, where the other arguments are (currently) irrelevant, as long as the app doesn't crash.

A Coral Springs woman was arrested Tuesday after allegedly attacking her boyfriend when he refused to have sex with her.
Inez Nunez, 18, was arrested on a domestic battery charge around 2:30 p.m. at their home in the 5700 block of West 47th Court, police said.
(Excerpt) Read more at sun-sentinel.com ...
The way I'm going with this one is that the boyfriend is a major league wimp. He calls his girlfriend ugly, she pushes and slaps him, and he calls the police. Maybe he should be wearing the dress in this relationship.
Did the boyfriend have a headache? Or, maybe it was his time of the month...
When you gotta have it, you gotta have it.
Maybe he should be wearing the dress in this relationship.Maybe that's why he withheld sex, because she wouldn't lend him one of her dresses.
If I was the boy's father I kick his butt for pulling this stunt.
This is why women need to have Laz's number on speed dial...so situations like this can be avoided.
Domestic battery costs you the right to own a firearm. How is a scuffle between a boyfriend and a girlfriend domestic battery. Simple battery perhaps. Another gun grabber ploy?
I took a look at her picture. Enough said.
Looks like a white Hispanic to me.
In Florida, that makes her doubly guilty.
Maybe, maybe not...at the worst could be plea bargained down to a miss-is-meaner.
Come on, it's not like she's Chelsea Clinton. Rush Limbaugh said she looked like a dog. When he said that, my dog went out and shot himself.
Time served, send her to the judge's chambers for a spanking.
More evidence is required.
For about three shots of tequila, the entire case might have been avoided.
Why'd you ping Laz, anyway?
Continued without a finding until I can see more evidence. And by evidence I mean pictures of her rack.
This woman is the POSTER-GIRL for the old saying: "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned."
It's called controlling the narrative, and he did the smart thing. Being on record as the one who initiated the call about HER hitting HIM, it becomes harder for her to file false assault charges against him. She was trying to provoke him into retaliating so that she could get him arrested and thrown in jail.
If he's smart, he'll dump her immediately.
Well, so far the story hasn't hit The Smoking Gun website's always-busy "Florida" documents page. But when it does, they will likely provide dispositive evidence, one way or the other.
Sounds like that law discriminates against three or more people that are either cohabitating or in a relationship. The polygamists should sue.
this is a photo of the new utility infielder for the Miami Marlins, right?
I say deferred adjudication, house bondage.
In the head. With a shotgun. Twice. ;)
I don't know- 50 pounds from now she will be guilty but with the proper clothing and makeup i bet she could be quite not-guilty
Not a flattering picture, perhaps. We may yet require a better view of the subject with which to make an informed decision regarding her culpability.
I'd say not guilty. Wait; I just did....
Just remember, no matter how beautiful a woman may be - if she is single it is because some guy got tired of putting up with her crap.
As my mom said to me once, "son all women are crazy, you just need to choose the level you can live with"
Asymetrical face. Jury is still out.
Well said.
I know first hand and I'll leave it at that. :-)
hee hee - yes I will withold verdict until then too, unless the caboose is very not guilty
and after the spankings... the Aural Sects!
I'll go out on a limb and suggest that one will probably find a pair of apple bottom jeans in this tart's wardrobe. Muffin top or no muffin top.
she wanted to have sex at 2:30 in the afternoon. Not Guilty.
Im not impressed, maybe in a couple of years or beers.
There is something else your friend is not mentioning. I know people who are on depression meds and no one is taking away their guns.
I would bet he mentioned to someone he was thinking about taking his life or something along that line.

Special Agent in Charge (SAC) Brian D. Lamkin, FBI Atlanta, requests the public's assistance in identifying and locating the individuals responsible for the November 29 armed robbery of a Loomis armored car courier, which occurred at the Wells Fargo Bank, 3520 Centerville Highway, Snellville, Georgia.
On Monday, November 29, 2010, at approximately 9:00 a.m., a courier for a Loomis Armored Car was robbed at gunpoint while servicing an ATM at the Wells Fargo Bank, located at 3520 Centerville Highway, Snellville, Georgia.
The courier was approached from behind by a single robber who placed a semi automatic handgun to the courier's head. The robber departed the area with an undisclosed amount of money and was seen getting into the back seat of a light blue or silver vehicle, described as being possibly a Buick, Oldsmobile, or Jaguar.
The robber is described as being a black male, late 20's in age, 5'5" to 5'11" in height, medium build, wearing a black hooded sweatshirt and a black cap.
FBI agents are comparing the details of the above robbery to other similar Metro Atlanta area robberies, which include the following:
A September 14, 2010 robbery of a Garda Armored courier while at the Bank of America, located at 1775 Howell Mill Road, Atlanta, Georgia. Two black males approached the courier while he was servicing an ATM at that location. Both robbers were brandishing semi-automatic handguns. During that robbery, the courier was forced to the ground and his sidearm was taken by the robbers.
An October 7, 2010, 1:00 p.m. robbery of a Dunbar Armored courier, which occurred inside of a Mex-America Latino store, located at 641 South Marietta Parkway, Marietta, Georgia In that robbery, two black males, one with long black dreadlocks, waited inside of the above store for the courier to arrive. Upon arrival, the two robbers confronted the courier with handguns.
A November 11, 2010, robbery of a Dunbar Armored courier while at the Bank of America, located at 1500 Buford Highway, Buford, Georgia. In that robbery, the courier was robbed while servicing an ATM at that location. The courier was approached from behind by two black male suspects brandishing handguns.One of the robbers was described as having a gold upper tooth. The robbers were seen departing that robbery in a blue Chevrolet Tahoe, recovered shortly after the robbery and determined to have been reported stolen in Atlanta.
Anyone with information regarding this matter should contact the Atlanta office FBI at tel. (404) 679-9000.

Let the official start of grilling season commence! Memorial Day weekend may be known as the unofficial beginning of Summer (and the day you can start wearing all of your white clothes), but it's also the unofficial start date for grilling season. While a backyard barbecue is a great way to get family and friends together, bringing wee ones near an open flame is just plain dangerous.
Before barring tots from the area altogether, consider one of these play-grilling options — they may not produce the perfect char on your food, but they'll certainly have kids aspiring to become pit masters!

Dyna-King Kingfisher Vise Bought this as a travel vise to tuck in my checked luggage. Pros: 1. Cam locking jaws (just like the Barracuda). 2. Lots of weight on the pedestal base model. 3. Solidly built, good aesthetics. 4. $80. Cons: 1. Rotary, but can't keep the shank on axis the way you can with others like the Barracuda or the Renzetti. This is overcome if you can tie on a hook that is pointing on the same axis as the vise pointing up at about 30 degrees. 2. On the rotary function the tension control is attained by use of an allen wrench (that didn't come with the vise). The tension is a bit much even with the tension piece almost all the way out. Any recommendations on how to loosen this up (before I call Ron Abbey)? 3. Great vise for tying my bonefish patterns, but anything more than a 1/0 or 2/0 hook and I think it might be over-powered. I bought this vise after selling my Barracuda because of portability and space. I have a Renzetti Master that stays at home for tying here. Unfortunately, there's only one fly shop here on Oahu and they didn't carry this vise, so after self-debating for about 2 months I went ahead and bought it. For the rest of you folk who live in places where it's starting to thaw, I'd tie on a few flies on this vise before buying it. Take care all, Mitch |

Roughriders edge Bulldogs, 1-0
Division II District Soccer at Celina
CELINA - A very stingy defense and a well-placed boot by Kelly Heitkamp helped the St. Marys Roughriders advance to Saturday's Division II district final.
Heitkamp scored a goal off a 35-yard boot with 35 1/2 minutes left to play in the match and St. Marys' defense kept Celina from getting the equalizer for a 1-0 win over the Bulldogs at Celina Soccer Stadium on Wednesday night.
The Roughriders (13-1-4) will face Bath, who upset Western Buckeye League champ Shawnee 6-2, at Elida on Saturday with a 2 p.m. start for a berth to the regionals. The Bulldogs end a successful campaign at 12-2-4.
"This means a lot," said St. Marys' coach Paul Dingledine. "They (Celina) don't lose on this field very often. Like Kelly said, to come in here and shut them out (the first time St. Marys has shut out Celina) on their own field is huge for us."
For the first 40 minutes, it appeared that the second St. Marys-Celina girls' soccer matchup was a carbon copy of the first one. In the first meeting, St. Marys scored early in the second half, only to have Celina come back and get the tie with less than two minutes left.
Round two in the Grand Lake rivalry looked to be headed to overtime after a scoreless first half of play. Celina peppered Roughriders' keeper Paige Dicus with five shots in the first half, while holding St. Marys to just two shots, both saved by Elizabeth Laffin.
"Both teams played hard. I think they were evenly matched," said Celina's coach Cal Freeman. "They played hard, we played hard."
As the second half began, St. Marys was looking for a spark and Heitkamp proved to be the catalyst.
Despite being nearly out-of-bounds, Heitkamp kept the ball in play and escaped a Celina defender to get an open look at the goal. From 35 yards out, Heitkamp lofted a deep fly toward the goal that, she later admitted was more of a crossing pass. Laffin was unable to get a good read on it and the ball landed in the back of the net with 35:42 on the clock for a 1-0 Roughriders' lead.
"It picked us up tremendously," said Dingledine. "She said it was a cross, but I've seen so many goals scored this year (like that). She put it in the direction of the goal."
Freeman, who has seen his team stymied by similar goals late this season, could only watch in disbelief.
"You've seen the goal. It is what it is," said Freeman. "Goalie didn't get back in time, went over the top of her. It's the unfortunate part of the game, depending on which side of the field you're on."
Celina tried five shots on goal in the second half, with Dicus needing to make saves on four of them.
If the wind wasn't out of Celina's sails after the goal, the loss of Alex Parker to a knee injury with 12:43 to go, which required her to be carried off the field by stretcher, all but sealed the Bulldogs' fate.
"It kind of lets the wind out of the sails," said Freeman. "The girls tried to pick it up, but there's that pit in the stomach that when you lose one of your best players, (especially) one that was controlling that area (midfield) of the field. They were crying. It's hard, that emotional surge that is there, to be able to refocus that and put it on the field rather than be caught in the emotion. It's tough."
"Kristen Vehorn and Jamie James took charge. They just said 'We're not going to let it happen again.'," said Dingledine of preventing a tying score by Celina. "...They took charge and let the girls know that no matter what it takes, get the job done."

Carville: If Hillary Gave Obama One Of Her Balls, 'He'd Have Two'
Carville presumably made the quip at a Christian Science Monitor breakfast where he was speaking this morning. But he's actually made a similar point before.
Speaking to Newsweek back during the 2008 campaign, in an article about Obama's relative political toughness compared to Clinton, Carville said: "If she gave him one of her cojones, they'd both have two."
(Politico also wrote about Memoli's tweet.)
