RICH FRANKLIN V. TRAVIS LUTTER (MIDDLEWEIGHTS – 185 lbs)
Franklin is the man who won't go away in UFC's middleweight division. He can't compete with the champ Anderson Silva (two KO losses) but no one else in the division can beat him.
Lutter tried to play up the angle that Franklin was afraid to fight anymore. The problem there is you have to back up your words and be in shape.
After a first round spent mostly on the mat with top control, Lutter was completely gassed in the second. He got blasted by a Franklin left kick to his head. Lutter was rocked and never regained his equillibrium. A woozy Lutter was a sitting duck for the next two minutes before Franklin dropped him for good.
Lutter (9-5, 2-3 UFC) has been a villian of sort for UFC fans since he failed to make weight before his title challenge against Anderson Silva at UFC 67. At the time, you had to question his dedication to the craft if you're not prepped for a huge title shot. Franklin knew that.
"We trained to defend the takedown. But I got a little complacent," said the former UFC middleweight champ Franklin (25-3, 10-2 UFC). "I knew the way he would shoot. Everytime he shot, I wanted him to pay for it. He's known for his lack of conditioning so I wanted to wear him down."
Lutter didn't get off the mat for several minutes. When he did he actually stumbled into Franklin as the referee was set to raise his hand. Lutter could barely find the exit to leave the cage. Franklin, from Cincinnati, is still a huge fan favorite. He was the only American that the Canadian crowd backed from the get-go.
"They booed everyone else who wasn't Canadian," Franklin commented about his thoughts before he came for Friday's weigh-in. "I was praying, please don't boo me too. But you guys are great."
NATE QUARRY V. KALIB STARNES (MIDDLEWEIGHTS – 185 lbs)
This one was as ugly as the Bernard Hopkins-Joe Calzaghe boxing match.
Starnes was thinking defense all the way. Quarry chased him for 15 minutes, the Canadian crowd turned on Starnes, a native of British Columbia, booing him throughout the fight. They also showered him with boos in the post-fight everytime his face was shown on the screen. Starnes clearly didn't get it laughing at the crowd and egging it on to boo more.
Quarry, normally a class act, lost his cool with 30 seconds left in the fight. "The Rock" started mock running in the cage and then actually starting fighting with one arm. Starnes (8-3-1, 2-3 UFC) would not take the bait and continued backing away.
"I didn't mean to disrespect him or his camp," said Quarry. "It's tough to land a shot when someone is moving backwards the whole fight."
Starnes' fighting spirit has been called into question in the past. He reached the UFC through an appearance on TUF 3. He got a bad rap during the show when he quit a fight because of a rib injury.
Quarry (16-2, 5-1 UFC) got off the cleaner shots. He won. Apparently, Starnes irked the judges as well. One judge scored every round 10-8!!
QUARRY OVER STARNES by UNANIMOUS DECISION (30-24, 30-26 and 30-27)
MICHAEL BISPING V. CHARLES MCCARTHY (MIDDLEWEIGHTS – 185 lbs)
Bisping, the 205 champ from season three of UFC's reality show The Ultimate Fighter, was making his debut at 185. His opponent called him a marketing creation and the most overrated fighter in the UFC.
"Chainsaw" Charles talks a good game but his strategy of covering up when Bisping attacked was a miserable failure.
Bisping (16-1, 5-1 UFC) dominated the stand-up over the first 2+ minutes and then got slammed by McCarthy. McCarthy (10-5, 1-2 UFC) worked an armbar and came close to success before Bisping escaped with 1:02 left in the round.
"I know his game. I know how defend it," said Bisping. "I just thought to myself this isn't the gameplan"
From there McCarthy backed up against the cage, covered up and let Bisping get off 23 unanswered knees and punches. McCarthy was covering up but No. 23 sent him to the canvas where Bisping bombed another 14 punches. The round ended but McCarthy couldn't get off the ground.
Bisping, a crowd favorite, was jacked about his first victory at 185 in UFC, "This is my natural weight. I'm excited to see what I can do. I've established myself tonight. I want to fight the best guys out there."
BISPING OVER MCCARTHY by TKO (Strikes) 5:00 OF THE FIRST ROUND
MARK BOCEK V. MAC DANZIG (LIGHTWEIGHTS – 155 lbs)
What a great debut for Danzig, the champ from The Ultimate Fighter 6. Bocek, is one of the rare brazilian jiu-jitsu black belts in UFC, but Danzig allowed himself to get caught in a dangerous submission position.
Danzig used his stand-up to dominate rounds two and three. He landed a huge right knee in the second that lifted Bocek off the ground and then onto his back. Danzig pummeled Bocek from top position for the next 4 ½ minutes. Bocek's left eye blew up and was spurting blood heading to the final round.
In the final stanza, Bocek looked slow and couldn't avoid getting peppered by the faster, fresher Danzig. Danzig scored a takedown with 1:38 left in the fight and Bocek gave up his back. Danzig slapped on a rear naked choke, Bocek quickly tapped.
"That was exhausting. He's a really tough guy," said Danzig. "People know how tough he is, this was a very serious fight for me. I couldn't stop his shot (in the first). But I cant let myself lose. No matter how tired I was, I wasn't going to let it happen."
DANZIG OVER BOCEK by SUBMISSION (Rear Naked Choke) at 3:48 of THIRD ROUND
JASON MACDONALD V. JOE DOERKSEN (MIDDLEWEIGHTS – 185 lbs)
These guys hate each other and it showed in the cage. Both were caught in outrageous submissions but refused to tap. MacDonald, who beat Doerksen in 2005, survived the worst of it to close out the first round and then sprang to action in the second.
MacDonald (21-9, 4-2 UFC) got off to a quick start jumping into a guillotine choke just 10 seconds into the second. Doerksen survived for close to 90 seconds in the choke and would not tap. Doerksen (39-12, 1-5 UFC) stayed calm and eventually freed himself into side control. He worked a kimura to perfection. MacDonald's shoulder looked like it could be shredded at any moment. He nearly tapped with 2:35 left and actually yelled out in pain. MacDonald withstood the pain and made it to the second.
MacDonald scored a hard takedown 43 seconds into the round. He then unloaded seven straight brutal elbows to the side of Doerksen's head. The bloodied Doerksen was out cold on elbow No. 5 and MacDonald actually stopped for a second thinking referee Steve Mazzagatti would step in. He didn't so MacDonald landed two more punches to the defenseless Doerksen before the stoppage. "He was going to rip my arm off," said the Edmonton native MacDonald about Doerksen's dominant position in the opening round. "You have to hang in there and pull it out when it counts. Joe and I had some bad blood. He's been a sore loser (after the first meeting) and made some excuses. I wanted to do it in dramatic and dominating fashion." MACDONALD OVER DOERKSEN by TKO (Strikes) AT :56 OF THE SECOND ROUND
ALAN BELCHER V. JASON DAY (MIDDLEWEIGHTS – 185 lbs)
Day exploded onto the UFC scene with a stoppage victory against the highly regarded Belcher (12-5, 3-3 UFC). Day, from Alberta, was dangerous on the ground and the feet. Belcher scored a takedown 59 seconds into the fight but Day smoothly slipped his left leg behind Belcher's head. He then pounded Belcher from bottom with 28 punches and elbows.
The fight got back to the feet and Day (17-5, 1-0 UFC) pounced on Belcher landing two brutal standing elbows that stunned the American. Belcher backtracked to the cage and Day unloaded 25 unanswered punches before the fight was stopped.
DAY OVER BELCHER by TKO (Strikes) AT 3:58 OF THE FIRST ROUND
DEMEIN MAIA V. ED HERMAN (MIDDLEWEIGHTS – 185 lbs)
Wrestler versus brazilian jiu-jitsu, the bjj expert wins. Herman and Maia scrambled all over the cage for nearly eight minutes. Herman made a crucial mistake from the top allowing Maia to shift his hips out of a butterfly guard and slap on a triangle choke. Herman then did himself in by trying to flip out of it and landed on his back.
It was a devastating position. Maia (8-0, 2-0 UFC) was on top with the triangle choke, all his weight bearing down on Herman (14-4, 3-3 UFC) and he got off seven flush punches to Herman's head as he was put to sleep.
MAIA OVER HERMAN by SUBMISSION (Triangle Choke) AT 2:27 OF THE SECOND ROUND
RICH CLEMENTI V. SAM STOUT (LIGHTWEIGHTS – 155 lbs)
This was a tough one to score. Clementi wanted to get the fight to the ground while Stout is the much more effective striker. Stout, an Ontario native, didn't get off enough shots to win on the scorecards and never landed a fight changing strike.
Stout was tentative after a first round where he spent nearly four minutes on his back. One judge actually scored that first round 10-8 in favor of Clementi.
CLEMENTI OVER STOUT by SPLIT DECISION (29-27, 29-28 and 28-29)
Velasquez, a former Arizona State wrestler, won this one easily but not in the fashion expected. The 25-year old Mexican-American showed good hands in dropping Morris less than 15 seconds into the fight.
From there Morris was brutalized on the ground. He was mounted several times and continually gave up his back. It was clear Velasquez (3-0, 1-0 UFC) wasn't comfortable with the submission game. A rear-naked choke was there to be had, instead Velasquez let Morris rise to his feet where he landed a solid combo and then got the stoppage.
VELASQUEZ OVER MORRIS by TKO (STRIKES) AT 2:10 OF THE FIRST ROUND
KUNIYOSHI HIRONAKA V. JONATHAN GOULET (WELTERWEIGHTS – 170 lbs)
This was a solid stand-up battle. Goulet was in huge trouble at the end of the first round but recovered and got the best of things in the second to finish Hironaka with a solid left-right combo, just over two minutes into the round.
Hironaka (11-5, 1-3 UFC) looked like he was on the way to his second UFC win when he floored Goulet with a big left with 1:01 remaining in the opening round. The Japanese fighter had top control with several mounts over the next 60 seconds but couldn't get referee Dan Miragliotta to stop the fight.
Hironaka fought recklessly in the second holding his hands at his waist. The fight turned on a big right from Goulet at the 1:46 mark of the second. Hironaka got on his horse actually running from Goulet. When the French-Canadian got in front of him the winning combo was landed.
GOULET OVER HIRONAKA by TKO (Strikes) AT 2:07 OF THE SECOND ROUND

My final design is this sea urchin chair.
This chair has many very peculiar spines. In my concept, black and white can be any colors. So the black spines can be in all the colors. The seat's shape like a ball which has been cut out another smaller ball.
At first, I thought about wood to be the material. But wood cannot make the spines look a little chaos. And I also would like to give expression to the hard of spines. So I decided to use metal to make this chair.
My first model chair was made of hard paper. My second model's seat was this. It is a hard metal to change shapes. So Steve and my classmate helped me. You can see that it's heavy .
Then I cut some metal-silks and inset them below the metal-plate.
After lunch, I found the seat was too small so that the truth chair must very big. So I made the seat a little bigger because there had some legs may fall down.
Then I borrowed some thinner metal-silks to make spines
Finally, I finished it. These are the photos with some double sides tape.
By the way,I think the shadow is perfect.

Property is one of the safest investments anyone can make. Bricks and mortar. A roof over your head. Solid and tangible. In most markets, property is surging ahead for good reason - interest rates are low and new stock is plentiful.
Two notable cities that look like having a stellar year in 2015 are Manchester - England's second city - and Los Angeles in California. Here is my outlook of some markets around the world to help you start your search.
United Kingdom: Even with an election pending, property is on the up - gains are the biggest in the G7. London offers the best capital gains (over 22% in some areas in 2014) and Manchester, the UK's second city, is also recording double digit growth - with no end in sight. Outlook: POSITIVE
Click here for London properties or Manchester
Philippines: A mass of new projects are currently under construction, including a mega casino project, although problems with oversupply may arise, Manila is still a solid buy and prices are increasing. Excellent rental yields too. Outlook: POSITIVE
USA: Uncle Sam is back on his feet, property-wise, and the market has started to accelerate. California is the hottest place for property investors looking at the USA in 2015 - who wouldn't want a piece of Hollywood or a sliver of Silicon Valley? Outlook: POSITIVE
Thailand: While the junta has put back any hope of elections until 2016, the property market is still growing at a good clip. Fears of oversupply appear to be unfounded, and Bangkok and Phuket are still tops. Outlook: POSITIVE
Australia: Low interest rates - forecast to be cut again soon - will keep property buoyant in 2015. Cheaper square foot prices make the Gold Coast and Brisbane attractive. Sydney and Melbourne are set to grow at lower levels than 2014. Outlook: POSITIVE
Indonesia: A new president, a new surge in property prices. While rental yields may not be quite as good as they used to, capital gains are looking promising, with gains of over 10% predicted for Jakarta in 2015. Bali is set to continue its 10% per year increase. Outlook: POSITIVE

During a recent trip to San Francisco, we finally dined at the much raved about Burma Superstar. One dish we knew to try was the Tea Leaf Salad. According to their website they actually go to Burma to get the tea leaves (Lahpet) for their salad.
I got home and craved this salad. I figured it would be easy enough to find the fermented tea leaves - they are common in Burmese cuisine and Lahpet is traditionally eaten during ceremonies and celebrations. Well, I thought wrong. After researching and reading articles online I discovered that Lahpet is not easily found in the US, if at all. There are trade embargoes that prevent imports from Burma. Great.
Further I saw some older news articles about the tea leaves being tainted with Auramine O, a chemical dye not fit for human consumption. SCARY! But I decided to chance it when I found an online retailer in the UK that would ship the Burmese fermented tea leaves to the US! I spent $40 on two small packages, most of which was for the shipping charges. Ugh. What a waste. These were disgusting. Musty, yellowish almost rotten flavored tea leaves. Yes, I tried them, and tossed both bags.
Feeling disappointed, I decided to challenge myself and try to make "fermented" tea leaves. I figured, how hard could it be? After a few trials and errors, I came up with something good! I do worry that I may have forgotten what Burma Superstar's version of this salad tasted like. But I feel happy about what I've created.
Let me know what you think of this one... I'll likely refine it after another trip to SF!

One of my favorite books is Feel The Fear and Do It Anyway . It taught me that when we push outside of our comfort zone we will inevitably experience fear which, rather than being a bad sign, is actually positive as it indicates we are growing and advancing. The trick is to feel the fear and do it anyway! When I first sat down to do a life audit it was a very scary experience. For the first time I was confronting the reality of my life rather than doing anything I could to deny what a state it was in. In order for my life audit to be effective I had to brutally honest, I had to face what I feared the most – I had to accept that my life in need of a renovation.
But then something amazing happened, I started thinking about what I wanted my life to look like and I began to see the limitless possibilities in front of me. If, like me, you are hesitant to do a life audit take heart – the aim is not to dwell in self-pity but to envisage your life afresh, for without knowing where you are, you can't move forward to where you want to be.

Luckily I absolutely love it so I didn't mind sharing it as my 'F' choice - I did plan on doing Frankenstein as it's so close to Halloween but I went out my a meal with my family and didn't get back til' late! Excuses, excuses!
Anyway - hopefully I'll be a bit more creative next time (and less lazy!). Until then, here's some hilarious nail photos I found that describe me to the ground!
Ohhhh you know it made you smile! :)

The new MacBook Pro keyboards are quieter.
We've had a top-of-the-line 15-inch MacBook Pro review unit in hand for an hour or two, and in that time, that's the main thing I can tell you.
I'll give you a few more impressions, of course, but "pro" machines require quite a bit of testing to judge, and we intend to take our time with it. Is it fast? Of course it's fast: it has a six-core Intel i9 processor, 32GB of RAM, and 4TB of storage. As shipped, this machine would run for $6,699 (though $3,200 of that is the SSD).
We'll hold off a more in-depth review after we've spent the next week or two putting it through its paces. We're especially interested in performance editing 4K video, battery life, and overall speed doing intensive tasks.

Overview: These handlebars are constructed with seamless 0.120" wall 4130 chromoly tubes. Precision mitering and TIG welding finish off the bars for beauty and strength. Available smooth for custom and non H-D applications or dimpled to accept original equipment Harley-Davidson hand controls.
These bars look great on: Harley 48, Hugger, Superlow, Nightster and Yamaha Bolt; any bike with narrow forks and a standard length backbone.

I bought this for my Yamaha Roadstar Warrior to tighten up the width of my handlebars and for a more aggressive look. 11 Bolts off and on. Also fitted some Biltwell grips at the same time. Under an hour. No Cable adjustment needed (I might need to up my risers a couple inches). Now my RS Warrior has a Sport Bike type Handlebar, feels just like a crotch rocket. Took it back about 5 degrees and has a much better riding position in wind (I don't feel like a wind sock). Top notch quality and fit.

Great bars, fit with no issues on my Yamaha Bolt. Looks good with the narrow profile of the bike. A bit narrower than I expected but it looks and feels good.

I've just fitted these bars to a 2017 Sportster 48. First off, these bars are really good quality. Anyway regarding the fit, clutch cable - no problem, electrics - no problem, throttle cables - no problem Front brake line - just, or rather JUST. If these bars were 1/2" taller you would need to replace the brake line with a longer one. You will have to wrestle the reservoir and it's clamp into position but it will fit. You'll be left with around 1/2" slack in the line after fitting, slightly less on full left lock, but an acceptable amount. Don't forget to release the 'P' clamp on the rear right of the top yoke that guides the brake line to the union while wrestling ;) . Replacing the brake line while no big deal in itself, is a no no if you have ABS. This makes it a dealer job for which my dealership quoted £300 labour. American friends I'll let you do the maths on that!

Just slapped some Zed's on my forty-eight and they are sexy. Put them on some 2" risers, no issues with fit for cables and brake line. Great fit and feel, look damn good. Word of warning though, I have a 2014 48 and the bars would not fit without the risers. They hit the top of the tree.

Got these bars as a gift for my birthday. Put them on my 2015 Forty Eight no issues; Did not have to extend ANY wiring. Literally took about 20 minutes. Thanks for fast shipping, quality bars and the stickers!

The one bit of information I think people should be aware of is depending on how far you set these back you'll have mirror issues on a Sportster 48. I set mine by feel and then realized the mirrors wouldn't do much either on the top or bottom. So I had to push them forward more than I would prefer. I'm about 5'9" and am now considering a small rise so I can bring back the bars and make the mirrors useful.

These bar are cool and clean. I have a 95 883 standard with tracker style bars. I was worried that these bars wouldn't fit without needing new cables, I was almost right. Everything fit except for my brake line, it kind of fits but i think it's to tight. Getting the controls was a bit of a hassle for me [New to the motorcycle game] but i eventually got it all buttoned up. What I like is the riding position these bars offer. You can push them way forward for a straight arm lean over feel, bring them more upright for a looser straight arm up right feel, or bring them in a bit to relax the arm more. So however you like to ride these bars will do the trick.

Love my Biltwell Compact ZED bars. Excellent quality, easy to install and reasonably priced. Bolted them on to my '14 48 XL1200X in about an hour. When ordering called with a couple q's and the service was great! Highly recommend!
02/18/2014 11:53am
I picked these bars up from Biltwell's showroom, installed them that evening. The narrower than stock profile made for a little trial and error while re-mounting the controls and mirror but once they were on I was hyped. I'd recommend something other than a stock mirror with these bars, maybe a bar-end mirror as the stock ones will give you a clear shot of your shoulder or hip. But that's the price you pay for a rad looking front-end.

Got my bars in only 6 days! nicely made bars love the look of them on the bike. They feel great to ride with as we'll.

rad bars, not too hard to install either. Love the look and feel. my only reason for not giving them 5 stars is i feel like my black is fading a little... maybe its just me.
06/30/2012 08:45pm
Got the black Zeds 6-8 months ago,love em, put em on my 02' 883 hugger with 6.5" risers w/slight pullback due to my 4inchers allowing bars to dig in tank, glad it happened tho,gave me the right rise kept from modin the solid brake line and it just simply looks badass,minimal vibrations at 90 mph, thanx guys
Well this is embarrassing...something went wrong. A team of highly trained monkeys has been dispatched to deal with this situation. Please try and reload this page.

Emergency Lights in Generator Rooms
Q: In regards to emergency generator backup lights, I seek clarity how long does the battery have to last? I'm assuming that the battery should be able to be tested annually for 90 minutes like those inside my hospital.
A: Section 7.9.3 of the 2012 LSC is clear: All required battery powered emergency lights must be tested monthly for 30 seconds and annually for 90 minutes. The NFPA 110 requires a battery powered emergency light in the generator room, so it is a required light that needs monthly and annual testing.
The code requires the light to operate for 90 minutes.

Acinonyx jubatus
The cheetah has a slender, long-legged body with blunt semi-retractable claws. Its coat is tan with small, round, black spots, and the fur is coarse and short. The cheetah has a small head with high-set eyes. Black "tear marks," which run from the corner of its eyes down the sides of the nose to its mouth, keep the sun out of its eyes and aid in hunting. Adult body length 112-135 cm; tail length 66-84 cm; shoulder height 73+ cm; weight 34-54 kg. The male is slightly larger then the female.
Cheetahs thrive in areas with vast expanses of land where prey is abundant. Cheetahs have been found in a variety of habitats, including grasslands, savannahs, dense vegetation, and mountainous terrain. In Namibia 95 percent of cheetahs live on commercial farms. A cheetah's diet consists of small antelope, young of large antelope, warthog, hare, and game birds.
Reproduction / Social System
Sexual maturity occurs at 20-23 months. The gestation period is about 95 days, and the average litter size is 4-5 cubs. Cubs are smoky-grey in colour with long hair, called a mantle, running along their backs; they are up to 30 cm long and weigh 250-300 grams at birth. The mantle has several purposes: it is thought to camouflage the cub in dead grass, hiding it from predators, and to work as a mimicry defence, causing the cub to resemble a honey badger.
Range & Population
Once found throughout Asia and Africa, the species is now only scattered in Iran and various countries in sub-Saharan Africa. Home ranges in Namibia for males can be up to 1500 square km and for females, 1200-1500 square km. Only 12,500 cheetahs remain in 25 African countries, and 200 cats survive in Iran. Namibia has the world's largest number of cheetahs, yet over + 3,000 remain the wild.
Protected species in Namibia. Endangered under the United States Endangered Species Act. Listed on CITES Appendix I. (Convention on the International Trade in Endangered Species.)
Cheetahs are wild animals. Capture of wild cheetahs threaten the survival of the species in two ways. First, the removal of individuals reduces the species' genetic diversity in the wild. And secondly, cheetahs do not breed well in captivity. The Asian cheetah is nearly extinct because of its capture for private use. Special dietary requirements, special needs, and unpredictable behaviour make this a poor pet. Wild instincts remain intact even with tamed and captive raised animals.

Droege, Tennant, Maultsby receive President's Medal from IU
INDIANAPOLIS -- Indiana University President Michael A. McRobbie presented the President's Medal for Excellence to three professors Oct. 8 at the university's Academic Excellence Dinner.
Those receiving medals were Anthony Droege, professor emeritus of art at Indiana University South Bend; Phillip Tennant, who retired in June from IUPUI's Herron School of Art and Design; and Portia Maultsby, professor of folklore and ethnomusicology in IU Bloomington's College of Arts and Sciences.
The highest honor an IU president can bestow, the President's Medal for Excellence recognizes, among other criteria, distinction in public service, service to IU, and extraordinary merit and achievement in the arts, humanities, sciences, education and industry. The medal itself is a reproduction in silver of the symbolic jewel of office worn by IU's president at ceremonial occasions.
"At Indiana University, we recognize that the disciplines that comprise the arts and humanities remain central to our ability to discover, collaborate, create and innovate, and we will continue to invest in and support them," McRobbie said. "These three Indiana University faculty members, Portia Maultsby, Phillip Tenant and Tony Droege, who are from three different IU campuses, exemplify IU's continued strength and excellence in the arts and humanities. They have each reached the pinnacle of academic achievement in their widely different fields, and they have also been recognized by their peers around the world for their tireless dedication and tremendous contributions to their disciplines.
"We are extremely pleased to recognize and honor their outstanding intellectual achievements, their commitment to excellence in every endeavor they have pursued and their tireless dedication to enriching the life of the university."
Droege retired in 2008 after 37 years on IU South Bend's faculty, where he served as chair of the Fine Art Department from 1982 to 1990. He received his Bachelor of Arts from Penn State and his Master of Arts and Master of Fine Arts from the University of Iowa. He earned his master's degree from the University of Iowa and taught at Murray State University in Kentucky before Harold Zisla hired him to teach painting at IU South Bend in 1971.
Primarily known for his large oil paintings, Droege also works in watercolor and a variety of drawing media. In recent years he has made serious explorations in landscape and still life.
Maultsby, who has been at IU Bloomington since 1971, is the Laura Boulton Professor of Folklore and Ethnomusicology. She received her Ph.D. in ethnomusicology and her master's degree in musicology from the University of Wisconsin in Madison and a bachelor's degree in piano, theory and composition from Mount St. Scholastica College in Atchison, Kan.
Her research interests include popular music, the music industry, African American music and musical aesthetics and transnationalism. She is also director of the Archives of African American Music and Culture.
Maultsby received an award in 2011 from the National Association for the Study and Performance of African American Music, and serves as an advisory board member for the Institute for Popular Music at the New York-based University of Rochester. She has served as researcher or advisor for various video and radio documentaries for the National Afro-American Museum, PBS, Radio Smithsonian and NPR, among others. She also founded and conducted the Indiana University Soul Revue, a touring student ensemble.
Tennant was recruited to the Herron School of Art and Design in 1974 to launch a woodworking program for art majors. It began as a small struggling program in the basement of the old Herron Museum building on 16th Street in Indianapolis. Under his watch, the program tripled the number of students and broadened its curriculum. In 2008, Herron launched new MFA degrees and has attained national prominence among the top furniture design programs.
Before joining the Herron School, Tennant earned his degree from Alfred University in New York and studied under master woodworker and furniture designer Wendell Castle.
Tennant's creative activities and scholarly work have been focused on designing contemporary fine art furniture and the exploration of material and process. His work has been exhibited nationally and featured in various publications, including Fine Woodworking, American Craft Magazine and Furniture Studio. He also conducts many workshops as a visiting artist and has received numerous public and private commissions.

Tonight I cooked pork chops in one of my favorite ways: Cinnamon apple pork chops! YUM!
Peel and de-core and slice 2-4 granny smith apples.
Cook 4-5 pork chops in butter or oil, about 7-8 minutes on each side until they are cooked all the way through.
Meanwhile, in a separate pan, heat a few tablespoons of butter. Add about 1.5 tablespoons of brown sugar and .5 to 1 tablespoons of cinnamon and mix together. Cook the apple slices about 5 minutes or until tender. Put them on top of the pork chops and voila! YUM!
Please share your best recipe this week!

Reforms focus, corporate topline will keep India growth story intact
Reforms focus, corporate topline will keep India growth story intact
Sonjoy Chatterjee, Goldman Sachs
30h Jun 2016 |Source: Economic Times
- On reforms: In the corporate sector, it's visible through the winners, who are the survivors, versus those who are struggling to make the cut in this revised business paradigm shift. It is unfolding as we speak and a great deal more will take place in the next few years. The shift is visible across the whole spectrum of financial sector reform, such as the bankruptcy law and the push by the RBI governor to tackle the bad loan issue head on--basically the decision to call a spade a spade. These reforms are linked to the same overall governance shift that is being driven by the Prime Minister and the finance minister. This period of change will no doubt be marked by some amount of challenge, any transition always is... but in the end, the banks will ride this through and our financial and corporate sectors will come out much stronger and in a better place than we are in now. The shift will set the theme for a very robust growth trajectory for our country.
- View Rajan's departure: his departure announcement has created some uncertainty around the policy stance on liquidity and interest rates, asset quality and lending structure. At the end of the day though, overall impact will be limited as India's current macroeconomic fundamentals stand better than most of the emerging markets. The growth story will continue to remain intact with the government's unwavering focus on reforms and improvement in the top line of corporates suggesting a better operating environment.
- Overall, as a firm, do you remain very bullish on India? Across our businesses, whether it is corporate finance (mergers and acquisitions and equity capital markets), equities brokerage and our principal investing arms -which include Goldman Sachs's merchant banking division, special situations and principal strategic investments group, who invest in fintech startups -weare very, very active. Of all the Asian countries, India is one of the markets where we have and continue to be most active, when it comes to investing. As a whole we have invested approximately $2.5 billion of capital in India since 2008.
- As an investor in Indian equities, we also continue to be very active through our global funds. Our India-specific investing fund in equities has an approximate AUM (assets under management) of $1.7 billion. About two years ago, it used to hover around $200 million. That is again a function of how much India has changed in the eyes of global investors who ask us to manage their capital.
- Implications of Brexit for India? As a region and specific to India, the fundamental linkage between Asia and the UK or Europe is moderate. While these linkages are moderate, our equity strategists believe there could be short-term market impact from negative sentiment and risk aversion. We could also likely see a generally negative impact from FX. That having been said, Brexit is a historic event, but not a systemic one.

Workers in Canada are protected both in terms of basic employment rights as well as safe work practices. Legislation at both the federal and provincial levels offers protection for employees. Each province or territory has its own legislation. For example, the Employment Standards Act (ESA) sets out minimum standards for Ontario work places. The Occupational Health & Safety Act sets out the legislation for safe work places across Canada. Each province and territory, as well as the federal government, has its own legislation for protecting workers against health and safety hazards in the workplace. The final area of workers' rights in Canada is covered by human rights legislation and is designed to protect individuals from discrimination.
These are minimum standards established by law that define and guarantee rights in the workplace. Areas covered include hours of work & overtime pay, minimum wage, pay, vacation time & vacation pay, public holidays, coffee & meal breaks, pregnancy leave & parental leave, personal emergency leave, family medical leave, termination notice & termination pay. Details on each of these items can be found here for both Canada and Ontario.
Legislation is in place to protect workers from unhealthy and unsafe working environments and conditions. It allows workers the right to refuse work that they feel is potentially hazardous to themselves or to coworkers. The law does require the employee report this situation to the employer or supervisor who then would be responsible for investigating. Benefits are also available for workers who are injured or become sick on the job. Details can be found here for both Canada and Ontario.
Job applicants cannot be discriminated against because of race, religion, ethnic origin, skin colour, gender, age, marital status, disability, or sexual orientation. The law also protects individuals from harassment by employers or co-workers. Individuals are encouraged to speak to employers to resolve discrimination or harassment issues. If not successfully resolved, employees are encouraged to seek assistance from their union or from the provincial or federal human rights commission. Details can be found here for both Canada and Ontario.
Should you have questions or concerns regarding your employment rights, it is important that you know that employees cannot be punished for claiming their rights. Seek help from The Ministry of Labour as soon as possible and fill out the appropriate claims form.

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Indian Energy, in partnership with the Western Area Power Administration (WAPA), is hosting a free webinar titled "Steps Toward Your Tribal Community Energy Future" on Wednesday, February 28, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Mountain Time.
Sovereign tribal nations across the United States have recognized the important economic value of developing and implementing community energy plans. The community energy planning process helps tribal members establish short- and long-range energy and economic development goals, and identify challenges and opportunities for meeting current and future energy needs in an economically, socially, and environmentally sustainable fashion.
In this webinar, tribal leaders and community members will learn how to develop a community energy plan, including an overview of the five-step project development process developed by DOE's National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) for the Office of Indian Energy. Attendees will learn the importance of using an inclusive planning process with tribal community participation to gain support for and ownership of all aspects of the plan. Speakers will describe barriers likely to be encountered during the planning process, provide tips on how to overcome those barriers, and identify tools and resources that can help tribes establish an energy plan based on developing natural resources with maximum local control and ownership.
The webinar will begin with introductions from Randy Manion of WAPA and Lizana Pierce of the Office of Indian Energy. Sean Esterly of NREL will then share information on the community energy planning process, followed by tribal case studies from representatives of the Southern Ute Tribe, Ho-Chunk, Inc., and the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes on how their communities have developed and implemented energy plans to advance their tribes' energy and economic development goals.
There is no charge to attend, but registration is required. Register now for this webinar, and learn more about the 2018 Tribal Sovereignty and Self-Determination through Community Energy Development webinar series.

lcc [ option | file ]...
lcc is an ANSI C compiler for a variety of platforms.
Arguments whose names end with '.c' (plus '.C' under Windows) are taken to be C source programs; they are preprocessed, compiled, and each object program is left on the file whose name is that of the source with '.o' (UNIX) or '.obj' (Windows) substituted for the extension. Arguments whose names end with '.i' are treated similarly, except they are not preprocessed. In the same way, arguments ending with '.s' (plus '.S', '.asm', and '.ASM', under Windows) are taken to be assembly source programs and are assembled, producing an object file. If there are no arguments, lcc summarizes its options on the standard error.
lcc deletes an object file if and only if exactly one source file is mentioned and no other file (source, object, library) or -l option is mentioned.
If the environment variable LCCINPUTS is set, lcc assumes it gives a semicolon- or colon-separated list of directories in which to look for source and object files whose names do not begin with '/'. These directories are also added to the list of directories searched for libraries. If LCCINPUTS is defined, it must contain '.' in order for the current directory to be searched for input files.
lcc uses ANSI standard header files (see 'FILES' below). Include files not found in the ANSI header files are taken from the normal default include areas, which usually includes /usr/include. Under Windows, if the environment variable include is defined, it gives a semicolon-separated list of directories in which to search for header files.
lcc interprets the following options; unrecognized options are taken as loader options (see ld(1) ) unless -c, -S, or -E precedes them. Except for -l, all options are processed before any of the files and apply to all of the files. Applicable options are passed to each compilation phase in the order given.
Other arguments are taken to be either loader option arguments, or Ccompatible object programs, typically produced by an earlier lcc run, or perhaps libraries of C-compatible routines. Duplicate object files are ignored. These programs, together with the results of any compilations specified, are loaded (in the order given) to produce an executable program with name a.out (UNIX) or a.exe (Windows).
lcc assigns the most frequently referenced scalar parameters and locals to registers whenever possible. For each block, explicit register declarations are obeyed first; remaining registers are assigned to automatic locals if they are 'referenced' at least 3 times. Each top-level occurrence of an identifier counts as 1 reference. Occurrences in a loop, either of the then/else arms of an if statement, or a case in a switch statement each count, respectively, as 10, 1/2, or 1/10 references. These values are adjusted accordingly for nested control structures. -Wf-a causes lcc to read a prof.out file from a previous execution and to use the data therein to compute reference counts (see -b).
lcc is a cross compiler; -Wf-target=target/os causes lcc to generate code for target running the operating system denoted by os. The supported target/os combinations may include
For -Wf-target=symbolic, the option -Wf-html causes the text rendition to be emitted as HTML.
lcc accepts the C programming language as described in the ANSI standard. If lcc is used with the GNU C preprocessor, the -Wp-trigraphs option is required to enable trigraph sequences.
Plain int bit fields are signed. Bit fields are aligned like unsigned integers but are otherwise laid out as by most standard C compilers. Some compilers, such as the GNU C compiler, may choose other, incompatible layouts.
Likewise, calling conventions are intended to be compatible with the host C compiler, except possibly for passing and returning structures. Specifically, lcc passes and returns structures like host ANSI C compilers on most targets, but some older host C compilers use different conventions. Consequently, calls to/from such functions compiled with older C compilers may not work. Calling a function that returns a structure without declaring it as such violates the ANSI standard and may cause a fault.
The file names listed below are typical, but vary among installations; installation-dependent variants can be displayed by running lcc with the -v option.
lcc predefines the macro __LCC__ on all systems. It may also predefine some installation-dependent symbols; option -v exposes them.

Mail bug reports along with the shortest preprocessed program that exposes them and the details reported by lcc's -v option to email@example.com. The WWW page at URL http://www.cs.princeton.edu/software/lcc/ includes detailed instructions for reporting bugs.
The ANSI standard headers conform to the specifications in the Standard, which may be too restrictive for some applications, but necessary for portability. Functions given in the ANSI headers may be missing from some local C libraries (e.g., wide-character functions) or may not correspond exactly to the local versions; for example, the ANSI standard stdio.h specifies that printf, fprintf, and sprintf return the number of characters written to the file or array, but some existing libraries don't implement this convention.
On the MIPS and SPARC, old-style variadic functions must use varargs.h from MIPS or Sun. New-style is recommended.
With -b, files compiled without -b may cause bprint to print erroneous call graphs. For example, if f calls g calls h and f and h are compiled with -b, but g is not, bprint will report that f called h. The total number of calls is correct, however.

Samuel T. Gontkovsky, PsyD, joins Fielding Graduate University as the new director of the Neuropsychology Postdoctoral Certificate Program
Gontkovsky brings more than 15 years of professional experience in clinical practice, research, teaching, and administration to his new position at Fielding. He has published more than 75 professional articles, books, book chapters, and book reviews and has given more than 125 presentations at local, state, national, and international conferences.
Gontkovsky serves as a reviewer for numerous journals and professional organizations in the areas of psychology, neuropsychology, medicine, health, and rehabilitation. He is the former president of the Mississippi Psychological Association and former chair of the Education and Training Committee of Division 12 of the American Psychological Association. Gontkovsky presently serves on the Continuing Education Committee of Division 22 of the American Psychological Association and the Ethics Committee of the Nebraska Psychological Association.
-What are your main responsibilities in this position as director of the Neuropsychology Postdoctoral Program here at Fielding (for those that are not familiar with this program/position)?
As listed in my formal job description, principle responsibilities include recruitment, orientation of new students, budget management, program advising, and program oversight.
-What is it about Fielding that interested you the most to apply for this position?
I have had very favorable experiences in the past with individuals affiliated with the Fielding Neuropsychology Program. One of my first supervisors in neuropsychology was also a Fielding faculty member at the time. I have a colleague/friend who completed the Neuropsychology Postdoctoral Certificate at Fielding and spoke very highly of the program. I also hired a Fielding Neuropsychology Postdoctoral Certificate graduate in my prior position as head of the Department of Psychology at The Nebraska Medical Center, and I was very pleased with his work.
-What brought you to the Palo Alto/SF area from –(where were you before?)
I had been in Omaha, Nebraska for about 3½ years prior to coming to California and was the head of the Department of Psychology as well as the Pain Management Program at The Nebraska Medical Center. For several years, I have been looking to move to California. When I was offered the opportunity by Home Care Assistance, a private company based in Palo Alto, to develop a new non-pharmacological intervention program for individuals with cognitive impairment, I jumped at the chance. The approach, known as the Dementia Therapeutics Method, is based on the scientific literature and utilizes cognitive training/rehabilitation, sensory stimulation, social stimulation, dietary changes, physical exercise, stress management strategies, and recreational activities in an effort to slow the decline of progressive brain diseases/disorders and delay onset of new symptoms in areas of the brain which have not yet been affected.
- You are quite a prolific writer and presenter (numerous journals and professional organizations in the areas of psychology, neuropsychology, medicine, health, and rehabilitation), what are some of your most recent publications and presentations? What are you currently working on?
Below are my five most recent publications, two presently in press.
Killebrew, A. E., Smith, M. L., Nevels, R. M., Weiss, N. H., & Gontkovsky, S. T. (in press). Pregnancy among African American adolescent females in the southeastern United States: A review of the literature and an examination of the associations between peer substance use before sex, peer number of children, and parental influence and substance use before sex and history of pregnancy. Journal of Child and Adolescent Substance Abuse.
Nevels, R. M., Williams, B. E., & Gontkovsky, S. T. (in press). Paroxetine—the antidepressant from hell? Probably not, but caution required. Psychopharmacology Bulletin.
Gontkovsky, S. T. (2012). Auditory/verbal learning and memory deficits among individuals with traumatic spinal cord injuries may be attributable to undocumented traumatic brain injuries. Functional Neurology, Rehabilitation, and Ergonomics, 2(1), 9-16.
Ryan, J. J., Gontkovsky, S. T., Kreiner, D. S., & Tree, H. A. (2012). Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Fourth Edition performance in relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis. Journal of Clinical and Experimental Neuropsychology, 34(6), 571-579.

My current ongoing research projects are looking at accurate identification of the neuropsychological deficits associated with multiple sclerosis, the influence of cognition on the ability of individuals with multiple sclerosis to maintain employment, the differential sensitivity of neurocognitive screening instruments in assessing individuals undergoing inpatient rehabilitation, and the under-recognized drug interactions that may occur with methylphenidate.

I am working diligently at marketing right now and hoping to increase enrollment in the Neuropsychology Postdoctoral Certificate Program. As I said, I have had great experiences with individuals who have completed the program, and I think many more people could benefit from the training if they only knew about it.
School of Psychology acting dean, Kristine Jacquin, PhD, commented, "The School of Psychology is pleased to have Dr. Gontkovsky join our esteemed faculty as director of the neuropsychology postdoctoral program. Gontkovsky brings valuable experience and training to this position and I am confident he will enhance this already stellar program."

Josh McDonald
Joshua McDonald is no stranger to a good fight. He grew up most of his life with a single mom who fought everyday to provide for them; many times working 2 jobs just to make ends meet. In September 2006, he watched his mom fight again as she had 12 brain tumors removed and 30 rounds of radiation. But at the age of 28, Josh never imagined he would be fighting for his own life. Josh joined NAA back in December and has attended every sales meeting and info meeting.
The day after meeting with one of the founders during his trip to Dallas 2 weeks ago, Josh was on his way to an appointment when his breathing became labored. Rushing home to use his breathing treatment he had for his occasional asthma attacks, he quickly realized this was much bigger. Josh yelled for someone to call 911.
The last thing he remembers was grabbing the EMT in the ambulance by the shirt and telling him " You gotta do something…I'm not gonna make it". Josh prayed for his 5 month old son Beckham and passed out. He woke up 2 days later in ICU after an acute asthma attack caused by an untreated cold almost cost him his life and Beckham his daddy.
This whole experience has given Josh a renewed sense of purpose in his life and passion for his business; he also believes it is not a coincidence he had just written his own life insurance policy the day before his attack! Even more remarkable was that next Tuesday, just 3 days after being released from the hospital, Josh attended the Roberts/Patton Group sales meeting with applications in hand!
The Patton & Roberts Agency is proud to have Joshua McDonald as a valuable part of the team.

"The genius of The 4:1 Rule is that you don't have to count calories or points, measure portions, go hungry, or stress about always having to control your appetite! You actually get to eat MORE food! The catch? You have to choose the right food. And yet, you still get to indulge a little!"
The old, tired weight loss advice to eat less and exercise more sounds great in theory, and may work short-term – however, in real-world practice, because of the laws of physics and human nature, it has failed miserably. And there are very specific reasons for that, which are not rocket science. Attend TLC University to learn more.

Candy Cane Chocolate Peanut Butter Oreo Truffles
Heard of AA meetings? Well, I think there should be a new one… OO.
Oreo Obsession. I know I'd have to go to those meetings and I'm hoping I won't be alone! 😉 Who's going to accompany me?
Ever since that magical day when Oreos finally hit the shelves in the UK (more about that here), I've been a member of OO. Who wouldn't be? Those sandwiched chocolate crisp cookies and the sweet vanilla cream are like a party in your mouth.
It was a no brainer that I wanted to use Oreos in my truffles. And peanut butter! I wanted that festive touch too. The candy canes and the peppermint extract dealt with that issue. And smothered in luxurious dark chocolate too. Who could say no?
The candy cane chocolate Oreo truffles also make a great gift idea too when perfectly presented in mini cupcake liners and in a cellophane bag completed in a festive ribbon and gift tag. 😀
Candy Cane Chocolate Oreo Truffles Recipe
Prep Time: 10 mins
Cook Time: 3-5 mins
Yield: 12-24 truffles
- 150g (½ cup + 2tbsp) cream cheese
- 1 pack (approx. 150g/6oz) Oreo cookies
- 1-1½ cups dark chocolate, chopped or chocolate chips
- ½-1 tsp peppermint extract
- (optional) 3 tbsp peanut butter
- 2 candy canes, crushed
- Blend the cream cheese with the Oreo cookies in a food processor until thoroughly mixed
- Add the peanut butter (if using) and the peppermint extract to taste and mix thoroughly. Place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to 2 hours until the cookies absorb the cream cheese, peanut butter and peppermint extract and to harden up.
- Scoop balls no larger than 1 tbsp in width and roll placing on a silicone baking mat or parchment paper. Place in the freezer for 3-5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, melt the chocolate in the microwave in 30 second increments, stirring after each one, until the chocolate has melted and is smooth.
- Dip the cookie balls into the melted chocolate covering the entire cookie ball, allow excess chocolate to drip before placing on parchment paper.
- Immediately sprinkle the crushed candy canes into each truffle immediately after dipping to adhere.
- Allow to set and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
The yield purely depends on size.

Almost everyone stuck in a cubicle dreams of starting his own business. Of course, starting a company while employed by another one can be tricky. Amongst thousands of books on pursuing your dreams and entrepreneurism, Ben Arment's 'Dream Year: Make the Leap from a Job You Hate to a Life You Love' stands out above the crowd. Here's some of Ben's unique blend of insight, practical advice and inspiration.
- It will be scary, but you should leave your office career to launch your own company, "We are motivated by two conflicting fears in life: the fear of failure and the fear of insignificance."
- Lack of time isn't a valid excuse. "The truth is, you don't have extra time to pursue your dream. No one does. We have to remove time from some other endeavor … sacrifice is painful but necessary."
- You'll need monetary help. "Don't let rainmaking deter you …. Once you taste the sweet victory of a positive response, you'll not only become more comfortable [with it], you might even enjoy it."
- Be ready to lose sleep. "Work in the margins of your life—the late nights and early mornings—to make it a full-time reality …this is your one chance to break free from the cubicle."

The global jihad landed in Linda Spence's e-mail inbox during the summer of 2003, in the form of a message urging her to verify her eBay account information. The 35-year-old New Jersey resident clicked on the link included in the message, which took her to a counterfeit eBay site where she unwittingly entered in personal financial information.
Ultimately, Spence's information wound up in the hands of a young man in the United Kingdom who investigators said was the brains behind a terrorist cell that sought to facilitate deadly bombing attacks against targets in the United States, Europe and the Middle East.
Investigators say Spence's stolen data made its way via the Internet black market for stolen identities to 21-year-old biochemistry student Tariq al-Daour, one of three U.K. residents who pleaded guilty this week to a terrorism charge of using the Internet to incite murder.
Much has been written about radical Islamic groups' use of the Internet to propagandize and recruit new members. The U.K. investigation, however, revealed a significant link between Islamic terrorist groups and cyber crime, and experts say security officials must do more to understand and confront cyber crime as part of any overall strategy for combatting terrorism.
Investigators in the United States and Britain say the trio used computer viruses and stolen credit card accounts to set up a network of communication forums and Web sites that hosted everything from tutorials on computer hacking and bomb-making to videos of beheadings and suicide bombing attacks in Iraq.
"In a sense, these guys were operating an online dating service for al-Qaeda," said Evan Kohlmann, a counterterrorism expert who runs GlobalTerrorAlert.com. "They were among a very small group of individuals who had successfully made the leap from ad hoc terror cell to something close to al-Qaeda simply by using the Internet."
Authorities said another member of the trio, 24-year-old law student Waseem Mughal, was found with a computer containing a 26-minute video in Arabic featuring instructions on preparing a suicide bomb vest, along with a recipe for improvised explosives.
The third and perhaps most well-known member of the group, Moroccan-born Younes Tsouli, 23, grew adept at setting up sites to host massive video files and other propaganda. Investigators said he eventually became the de facto administrator of the online jihadist forum Muntada al-Ansar al-Islami, at one time the main Internet public relations mouthpiece of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, Al Qaeda's former leader in Iraq.
The trio maintained their innocence throughout most of their trial over the past few months. This past week, however, all three changed their pleas to guilty. The men were sentenced Thursday to prison terms ranging from six-and-one-half to ten years.
"These three men, by their own admission, were encouraging others to become terrorists and murder innocent people," said Peter Clarke, head of Scotland Yard's Counter Terrorism Command. "This is the first successful prosecution for inciting murder using the Internet, showing yet again that terrorist networks are spanning the globe."
According to documents obtained by washingtonpost.com, the three men used stolen credit card numbers to make purchases at hundreds of online stores, armed with shopping lists of items that fellow jihadists might need in the field. Authorities also say the men laundered funds from stolen credit card accounts through more than a dozen online gambling Web sites.
washingtonpost.com received information about the U.K. case from two law enforcement officials involved in the investigation; both requested anonymity out of concern that speaking on the record might jeopardize ongoing investigations.
Following the Trail
Investigators zeroed in on the three U.K. residents in October 2005, following a tip from Bosnian authorities. Officials there had just arrested Mirsad Bektasevic, a 19-year-old Swedish national of Bosnian origin, and Abdul Cesur, a 21-year-old Danish man of Turkish heritage, as the two were preparing for a bomb attack on European soil. Bektasevic and Cesur were found in possession of nearly 44 pounds of plastic explosives. Also included among their possessions was a video of the two men in ski masks armed with improvised explosive devices.
Such a cache, if armed properly, would have had the potential to inflict massive casualties in a coordinated suicide bombing. In the July 2005 attacks against London's transport system that killed 52 people and injured more than 700, each of the four suicide bombers carried just 10 pounds of explosives concealed in backpacks.
The video seized by Bosnian police was a message from Bektasevic and Cesur meant to be seen after the two had conducted their attack. In it, they said they planned to attack sites in Europe to punish nations that had aided in the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq. The two were later convicted of plotting to blow up an unidentified European target and sentenced to more than 13 years in prison.
Police were able to draw a connection between the Bosnian duo and the U.K trio because Bektasevic had saved one of the men's phone numbers on his cell phone.
Later that month, British authorities raided Tsouli's basement apartment in West London. Tsouli was reportedly arrested while logged on to the Web site "youbombit.r8.org" using the online identity "IRH007."
It wasn't until weeks after his arrest that U.S. and U.K. police learned that Tsouli was the individual who until then was known to counterterrorism officials only as "Irhabi007." As Irhabi -- literally "terrorist" in Arabic -- Tsouli was thought to have hacked into dozens of Web sites. He then used the sites to host huge computer files, mostly videos of beheadings and suicide bombings filmed in Iraq. Irhabi007 also spent a great deal of time creating and disseminating tutorials on hacking and hiding one's identity online.
Investigators say Tsouli later began using stolen credit card numbers and identities to buy Web hosting services. According to data gathered by U.S. officials, Tsouli and his two associates used at least 72 stolen credit card accounts to register more than 180 Web site domains at 95 different Web hosting companies in the United States and Europe.
Rita Katz, director and co-founder of the SITE Institute, which gathers intelligence on jihadist activity by monitoring dozens of online forums, said the evidence unearthed from items seized from Tsouli's arrest revealed that he had helped to create an online network used by jihadist cells across the globe to exchange information, recruit members and plan attacks.
On Tsouli's laptop, authorities said they found a folder named "Washington" that contained short, video clips of the U.S. Capitol grounds, the World Bank building, a hazardous chemical response vehicle, and fuel tank storage facilities in the Washington metropolitan region. Also on the laptop were instant message chat logs and a PowerPoint presentation detailing how to construct a car bomb.
Five months later, U.S. investigators would arrest two men in the Atlanta area for allegedly working with Tsouli and others to produce the videos discovered on the laptop. In June 2006, Canadian authorities arrested 17 people and charged them with attempting to blow up targets in Canada. Katz, whose institute has worked with investigators in this and other Internet-related terrorism cases, said the two Americans and the members of the Canadian group had all communicated with one another on a jihadist Internet message board.
Masters of Cyber Crime
If Tsouli was the ideological leader of the group, al-Daour was the financier and logistics coordinator. On one computer seized from al-Daour's West London apartment, investigators say they found some 37,000 stolen credit card numbers. Alongside each credit card record was other information on the ID theft victims, such as the account holder's address, date of birth, credit balances and limits.
All told, investigators said al-Daour and his compatriots made more than $3.5 million in fraudulent charges using credit card accounts they stole via online phishing scams and the distribution of Trojan horses -- computer programs embedded in innocent-looking e-mail messages or Web sites that give criminals control over infected computers.
Authorities said both al-Daour and Mughal compiled shopping lists for items that fellow jihadists might need for their battle against the American and allied forces in Iraq, including global positioning satellite (GPS) devices, night-vision goggles, sleeping bags, telephones, survival knives and tents. Records show the men had purchased other operational resources, including hundreds of prepaid cell phones, and more than 250 airline tickets using 110 different credit cards at 46 airlines and travel agencies.
Al-Daour also allegedly laundered money through online gambling sites -- using accounts set up with stolen credit card numbers and victims' identities -- running up thousand-dollar tabs at sites like AbsolutePoker.com, BetFair.com, BetonBet.com, Canbet.com, Eurobet.com, NoblePoker.com and ParadisePoker.com, among others. All told, al-Daour and other members of the group conducted 350 transactions at 43 different online wagering sites, using more than 130 compromised credit card accounts. It didn't matter if they lost money on their wagering. Winnings were withdrawn and transferred to online bank accounts the men controlled.
Investigators in the United States and abroad spent hundreds of hours tracking the trio's financial activities across thousands of merchants in more than a dozen countries. But many of the details in this story about how the three U.K. residents financed their operation were never presented in court.
In May, the magistrate overseeing the trial, Justice Peter Openshaw, interrupted the proceedings with a statement that observers said stunned prosecutors for the Crown. "The trouble is I don't understand the language. I don't really understand what a Web site is."
Ultimately, the three men were convicted on the strength of evidence showing they had incited others to commit terrorist acts, rather than any evidence of cyber crimes. But one investigator who worked on the case said the story of how the three men funded their operations needed to be told because it serves as an indicator of methods other start-up terror cells either have already adopted or are likely to latch onto going forward.
"There is no law enforcement agency in the world that, if this wasn't a terrorism financing case, would follow up on this," one investigator said. "They just don't have the resources."
The Counter-Terrorism Challenge
Kohlmann said Irhabi and his alleged compatriots beginning in 2003 laid the groundwork for the Internet strategy that al-Qaeda and like-minded organizations would adopt over the next few years.
"Many Muslim men, a number of whom are living in the U.S. and the Middle East, see themselves at war with society and aspire to be part of a larger group," Kohlmann said. "It seems far-fetched that someone living in London who has never been to Iraq could suddenly become a key player, but Irahbi did. The power of the Internet means that people who don't ordinarily fit the terrorist profile can now be part and parcel of it."
Aaron Weisburd, who directs Internet Haganah, a Web forum dedicated to tracking pro-terrorist Web sites online, said cyber crime and credit card fraud have been a steady subplot underlying most of the terrorist-related sites he's tracked online since 2002.
In a recent analysis, Weisburd examined a number of Internet sites residing on a Web server also used to host a jihadist site. Weisburd said he found numerous counterfeit online banking sites, the sort typically set up by scam artists to steal personal and financial data from consumers.
"In short, the terrorist Web site was the most legitimate site on the server," Weisburd said. "In an age when people sign themselves up for the cause and make a good faith effort to try and kill people, credit card fraud and identity theft is a crime [terrorist sympathizers] can get into from the privacy of their own home. Pretty much wherever there are jihadists active online, you will also find guys engaged in online fraud."
Weisburd said credit card fraud and the cyber crime methods that facilitate it are ideally suited for upstart terror cells seeking funding. The Carbondale, Ill.-based activist said he also sees a great deal of overlap in membership between the Arabic-language online hacking forums and those of the online jihadist community.
"If they don't know how to get started in online fraud, these guys can find all kinds of support from people who will gladly teach them how to do it."
If Tsouli helped to pioneer a number of methods for the jihadist forums, jihadist groups have since moved their Internet operations further underground. Experts said most of the major forums have since consolidated their operations into small number of password-protected forums known as the Al Fajr Center.
"By keeping the number of primary source jihadist Web sites small, online ideologues and leaders of various jihadist groups can provide a seamless way to authenticate their communications, allowing forum participants to instantly tell the difference between official and fake communiques posted to the forums," Katz said.
Still, Katz said, Irhabi's legacy lives on. His hacking and anonymity tutorials are widely traded on jihadist forums, and variations on "Irhabi" -- such as Irhabi008 and Irhabi009 -- remain some of the most popular screen names on those sites.
Groups that monitor jihadist Web sites and chat rooms say most operate almost entirely using infrastructure and commercial services based in the United States. While some anti-terror groups advocate an aggressive dismantling of U.S. based jihadist networks, others say U.S. intelligence services need to do more to infiltrate and learn from them.
"We need to better understand who the primary actors are on these sites and chat rooms, as well as the nexus between where these people are in the cyber and physical world," said Frank J. Cillufo, director of the Homeland Security Policy Institute at The George Washington University. "Sure, people will say and do things in the cyber environment that they probably wouldn't do face-to-face, but the question is when does it morph from talk into action? We need to better understand the trigger points that move these participants from sympathizer to activist to indiscriminate violence."
In testimony submitted in February at a hearing in the House Armed Services Committee, the SITE Institute presented several recent case studies where jihadist forum participants or administrators transitioned from online activists to combatants fighting U.S. coalition force in Iraq and Afghanistan.
"U.S. authorities must continue to study the Internet as a vital battleground in the war on terror and undertake further efforts to combat jihadists on this front," Katz said. "Delving efficiently into the online world of jihadists will be one significant step in the war on terror."
