TopSpin New York 2016
For the sixth year in a row, MKTG was proud to produce another successful TopSpin Charity Ping Pong event last night at NY's Metropolitan Pavilion as part of our MKTG4GOOD initiative. TopSpin raises awareness and provides funds for exceptional nonprofits that provide educational opportunities for under-served youth.
Over 1000 revelers enjoyed bites from some of the city's top restaurants, themed cocktails and took home some insane goods from the ever-popular silent auctions…all the while cheering on celebrities, athletes and industry executives as they as they battled at the tables to take home the coveted TopSpin trophy and bragging rights.
Celebrity guests included US Women's National Soccer Team star Megan Rapinoe, Buster Skrine, Marcus Williams, Dexter McDougle and Darryl Roberts from the NY Jets, Guillermo Hernangomez, Kyle O'Quinn, John Wallace, John Starks and Larry Johnson, WNBA stars Stefanie Dolson, Sue Bird and Deveraux Peters and Ibtihaj Muhammad, musician Kevin Jonas and the American sabre fencer and member of the United States fencing team best known for being the first Muslim American woman to wear a hijab while competing for the United States in the Olympics.

Mahalo MKTG! Rewards Winner Rick Gonzalez's Hawaiian Adventures
The MKTG Rewards program is designed for MKTG employees to recognize and nominate fellow team members each quarter for their outstanding work at MKTG. At the end of the year, quarterly nominees become eligible to win an all-expenses paid international or domestic experience. 2015's winners were announced in June, and lucky recipients have spent the remainder of 2016 taking advantage of this wonderful opportunity.
Rick Gonzalez is MKTG New York's Operations Manager and spends the majority of his workday actively running around the office ensuring that everything is running smoothly. So, it's no surprise that when he was one of this year's MKTG Rewards winners for a domestic trip anywhere in the US, he picked a ten day Hawaiian adventure where he would be doing anything but sitting around. While most travelers associate The Aloha State with beachbums and honeymooners, Rick avoided the cliches and made the most of historical experiences and venturing to the extreme depths – land and sea – of the Island's dynamically volatile geography. From mile-long waterfalls to fiery lava pits to underwater exploration, Rick soaked in these amazing vistas via helicopter, submarine, Camaro SS Convertible, or more traditionally, by foot! Rick curated his trip to blend cultural curiosity and luxe living, ending each day with a priceless sunset at the Hotel Renew in Waikiki and Hapuna Beach Prince Hotel in Kona.
MKTG: What was the feeling when you were chosen as a MKTG Rewards winner?
RG: That was an unbelievable moment for me, I was in such disbelief. I am and will always be so grateful for the staff's acknowledgement. That was a day I will never forget.
How do Hawaiian beaches compare to other beach destinations you have visited?
RG: The beaches in Hawaii are pristine with remarkably large waves and rich turquoise waters. It's so easy to be swept away by the beauty of the water itself.
What was the most surprising or unexpected moment from your trip?

MKTG Atlanta Women's Leadership Group Hosts Interactive Career Day
MKTG's Women's Leadership Group Atlanta chapter ended their year's roster of events hosting an inspiring career day with 60 5th grade girls from local Birney Elementary School. MKTG Atlanta has been partnering with Birney for over seven years, conducting reading/math groups, sponsoring their field day and much more. So, it made perfect sense to host young ladies from the school as part of a final 2016 Women's Leadership initiative.
The session kicked off with a conversational multimedia presentation exploring MKTG's work and providing an industry overview. A tour of the office followed, leading up to the day's final destination- the warehouse. Five interactive stations were set up demonstrating how MKTG activates sponsorships on behalf of our clients. To get a small idea of the fun they had, the girls rotated to each of the following stations experiencing…
Photo ops! The students learned about photo ops while enjoying the Wyndham photo station with a green screen- which printed out their photo.
Prizes! The OtterBox Plinko board was tons of fun as the girls slid a dummy phone through the Plinko board to try to win a prize.
Design production! The girls created their own socks at our heat press station where they selected one of the three designs and watched one of our HQ ladies create their product.
Ring toss! Testing their tossing skills, we had three of the large Wells Fargo horses serve as a ring toss (with hula hoops).
Virtual Reality! This station was by far the most fun. The girls were able to put on a VR headset, plus hand controllers- bringing an office setting to life by trying tasks like making coffee, putting an ink cartridge in a printer, opening filing cabinets, etc.
After a yummy pizza lunch, the girls had tons of comments like "What subjects do you take in school to do this kind of job?", "I didn't know jobs like this even existed!" and the most important- "Thanks for a great day!" Returning to Birney with a swag bag full of event premiums from various programs, MKTG's Women's Leadership Group was proud to close 2016 sharing such a fun, enlightening experience supporting local youth.

A Day in the Life: Heikal Aliakber, MKTG NY
MKTG's "A Day in the Life" series has spanned the US talking to our amazing colleagues. In this profile, we circle back to MKTG HQ in New York City and chat with native New Yorker Heikal Aliakber. Heikal works in Client Services on the R.J. Reynolds account, managing four mobile tours that conduct consumer engagement activity at music festivals, bars, clubs and retail locations. His days are full on- involving everything from working with major promoters to source/contract events, routing Brand Ambassadors to different locations based on strategic needs and managing on-site at client activations – from communications, creative ideation and sometimes rolling up his sleeves and hitting things with sledgehammers (seriously).
When back home in NYC, Heikel maneuvers his hometown with a nonplussed sense of know-how only true New Yorker's can encompass – a skill that tourists must definitely gaze at with wonderment.
MKTG: What time do you wake up on a typical work day?
HA: This is highly dependent on where I'm waking up.
What's the first thing you do when you wake up? Do you have a routine?
HA: I'm the world's worst morning person. Seriously. I could go to bed the following night, knowing that the next day will be the best day in recorded history, and I will still wake up and shake my fist in the air while yelling incoherently (like Grandpa Simpson). I feel like my brain doesn't wake up until about 10AM, and that only happens if I do the following:
1) put food in my stomach prior to trying to actually get things done
2) shower (which may or may not serve as a platform for me to warm up my vocal cords so that I don't grunt on the first few phone calls of the day
3) catch up on current events and anything that transpired over the period of time I was asleep. In our business, knowledge is power (but also, FOMO is real).
Your day cannot be properly started without ______…
HA: A huge bowl of oatmeal.
How do you commute to work, and do you enjoy your commute? Details please!
HA: I was born and raised in Queens, so dealing with NYC public transit isn't anything new to me. I'm constantly traveling between Queens, Manhattan and Staten Island (where my fiancée currently lives), so suffice it to say, commuting is a major part of my life. Whether I enjoy it or not depends on the characters I meet. The dude who blasts relaxing string quartet music through a boombox on the Staten Island ferry, while doing his morning yoga routine? I'm cool with that. The dude that carries two live, noisy chickens in a puppy crate onto the E train at rush hour, while man-spreading against the pole that I'm trying to cling to? NOPE.
Does your day have a soundtrack? If so, what's on your playlist that is a daily obsession or gives you that stroke of genius?
HA: My typical day oscillates between rap, reggae, international music, heavy metal, movie scores and slow jams. My current obsessions? "Amazing" – Spit Syndicate (Australian rap group), "Picture Perfect" – Culture Shock (hip hop/bhangra group), "No Leaf Clover" – Metallica, "Sing About Me, I'm Dying of Thirst" – Kendrick Lamar, "Made You Look (Remix)" – Nas ft. Ludacris and "Time" – Hans Zimmer.
Do you listen to podcasts? If so, which ones?
HA: Anything NPR-related I find to be gold. But I also enjoy listening to The Joe Rogan Experience, and Anna Faris is Unqualified is charming.
Name your top five apps and why.
1) Venmo – because I'm always leaving my wallet somewhere
2) Delta – checking in early is a nervous tick of mine
3) Netflix – because I hate doing cardio, and watching new series "The Get Down" while slaving away on a
treadmill is the only thing getting me through it currently
4) Spotify – perfect for tuning out the chicken-carrying denizens of the NYC public transit system
5) News – to get my daily dose of what's real in this world
What are some restaurants or spots near your office that make your day- from a lunch place that knows your 'usual' to a beautiful park- what locales do you live by?
HA: The fish tacos at Belle Reve are fantastic. But, I'm a Queens kid at heart, so most of the places I know aren't local to the office, and are more often than not hole-in-the-wall establishments.
What after-work activity makes your week complete?
HA: I like picking heavy things up and putting them back down.

Owner reviews: MC Volna-3 80 mm f/ 2.8
- Slightly soft wide open, VG for portraits, razor sharp from f4;
- pseudo 3-D image;
- nice bokeh;
- no vignetting in FF and crop ));
- build quality, very smooth focus, well-defined movement of aperture ring;
- lightweight.
- Low contrast in backlight (in spite of MC, need hood);
- colors tend to red and brownish.
It is my favorite lens, I use it with MF and croped Sony SLT A55V also. This is versatile lens, not for portraits only, I use stiching software for landscapes, it is excellent sharp at infinity. I found the sharpness to be excellent on my Kiev 60 MF and my Sony A55V croped digital. It can easy produces a pseudo 3D effect in close and middle distances. I like its smooth bokeh.
If you have the opportunity to pickup this lens used don't pass it up.

The two-day Wonsan International Friendship Air Festival was held at the recently restored Kalma Airport — already a military runway — finished a year ago to support tourism in the range around the eastern port city of Wonsan.
Considering Formation Of Exiled Government: Baloch Leader
The celebration was at that point booked before North Korea directed its fifth atomic test on September 9, activating global shock and dangers of still further endorses against the profoundly separated atomic outfitted nation.
The show commenced with an elevated presentation by a US Hughes MD-500 military helicopter — one of a number gained in the 1980s by utilizing a third nation to evade US trade limitations.
North Korea's flight industry was focused by arrangements in the UN Security Council determination breezed through after its fourth atomic test on January 6.
The arrangements counteract part states offering or supplying North Korea with avionics fuel, aeronautics gas or naptha-sort plane fuel or lamp oil sort plane fuel.
In any case, a late report by the Nautilus Institute for Security inferred that household supply of plane fuel was likely sufficient to keep aviation based armed forces airplane flying, particularly given their low yearly practice rate.
The Hughes helicopter was trailed by an augmented solo gymnastic showcase by the most exceptional flying machine in the North Korean aviation based armed forces — an early-display Soviet manufactured Mikoyan MiG-29 Fulcrum which made a few ear-part low disregards the group.
Whatever is left of the flying corps armada is to a great extent contained old-fashioned Chinese fabricated duplicates of the MiG-17, MiG-19 and MiG-21. Specialists say the low number of flying hours and preparing their pilots get exacerbates the aviation based armed forces' specialized deficiency contrasted with neighboring South Korea.
North Korean air terminals are for the most part high security zones, yet the Kalma landing area and encompassing runway were opened for the celebration to a few thousand neighborhood observers, outside media and a few hundred marginally over-energized aeronautics aficionados from 20 nations.
'Blooms of the sky'
A group highlight was an arrangement presentation of two Soviet-time MiG-21s steered by North Korea's initial two female plane military pilots.
The ladies, Jo Kum-Hyang and Rim Sol, shot to national popularity a year ago when pioneer Kim Jong-Un named them "blossoms of the sky" subsequent to watching one of their instructional meetings.
"Indeed, even a 100 percent he-man would think that its hard to do that," the show broadcaster shouted in English over the amplifier as the two pilots saved money their planes in a tight turn.
He then chided the group as they surged towards the runway to wave to Jo and Rim as they landed.
A few remote spectators noticed that the low goes by the MiG29 and later by a Sukhoi-25 contender would have been illegal at other worldwide air celebrations.
"You could never see that anyplace else on the planet. Controls keep any ignores or moves the group line," said Peter Terlouw, a Dutch avionics picture taker.
"In any case, for us, it's splendid!"
'Entirely supernatural'
And additionally the guaranteed military air ship shows, a noteworthy draw was the nearness of national bearer Air Koryo's vintage planes which work on some household courses.
"To get this near such old planes in a nation like North Korea is exceptionally uncommon," said Ashley Walker, 39, a British pilot situated in Hong Kong with Cathay Pacific.
"You won't discover working planes like these anyplace on the planet," he said, signaling to a twin turbo-prop Antonov A 24 sitting on the landing area.
"Present day non military personnel planes are so dull nowadays, yet these are entirely mysterious and truly take you back in time," Walker said.
Walker was one of 200 devotees conveyed to the show by British-based Juche Tours, with the guarantee of brief flights on a portion of the non military personnel planes, which additionally incorporated an Ilyushin-18 and Tupolev-134.
"It's clearly the way that it's in North Korea that makes it so extraordinary," said Canadian aficionado King Hui, 63.
"I've been here once before and photograph astute the message was dependably 'no-military, no-military', and now we're getting the opportunity to see this," Hui said.
Wonsan — a conventional diversion region — is as of now the center of a noteworthy tourism improvement arrangement pair with the adjacent Mount Kumgang locale.
Only 25 kilometers from Wonsan lies one of Kim Jong-Un's pet undertakings — the Masik Ski resort finished in 2013.
Mount Kumgang was initially created as a resort for South Korean guests yet Seoul stopped all excursions after a South Korean traveler was shot dead by a North Korean trooper when she strayed off the endorsed way.

chickodee Review
I really like this Bonsai Plant, it is very life like. The coloring is great and the details in the flowers blossoms, branch and roots really are done well. It is not silk, however. When ordering I thought the base might not look right, but it works. Again very nice...
- How did the color on site compare with the actual product? matched
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. very good
- How accurate was the on site description of the product? The "silk" is misleading, it is not silk at all.

A new campaign calling for Australia to be pokies free is causing waves and dividing many along the way.
Australia has a whopping 20 per cent of the world's poker machines with pubs, bars and casinos around the country offering them up for customers looking to have a crack and see how far their luck can take them.
Now though, siblings Anna and Tom Lawrence have set up Proudly Pokies Free and are working to "make it cool" for venues to function without pokies machines.
Gambling is a huge part of Australian culture, with 70 per cent of the nation participating in some form of gambling throughout the year – whether it's consistent everyday bets, or the occasional punt.
Statistics have shown that gambling can quickly turn to a problem though, with around 500,000 Australians addicted to gambling. This makes us the world's biggest gamblers with the majority of addictions stemming from the pokies.
Anna and Tom say they want to change this.
"Nobody else is doing what Australia is doing. When you look at the harm pokies cause, not just people addicted to them but the culture they create, it'd be insane not to question it," Tom told the Huffington Post.
"We've seen live music decimated in Sydney, increases in alcohol and substance abuse and domestic violence where poker machines are concentrated heavily. There are hundreds of suicides a year related to gambling, and so many gambling addicts have a problem with pokies."
But what about people who enjoy playing the playing the pokies, but aren't addicted?
While many are throwing support behind the campaign, others are saying this is similar to the lockout laws in Sydney, where they claim the majority are being punished for the actions of a few.
What are your thoughts? Should Australia get rid of all our pokies machines? Or do we just need to manage them better?

Everything in moderation, eg the decision by NSW government to ban Greyhound Racing was wrong as everyone needs an interest / recreation ie I believe it is better to well regulate an industry such as grehound racing or gambling. So as far as gambling is concerned, establish a limit and access to poker machines & supporting regulations.
The parallel ( should be leading ) debate is to have a government (bipartisan) panel that vets all legislation according to its social contribution. This would need to overide State Government indepence to say regulate gambling in their durisdictions.
An issue to takle is the foregone revenue for the States which would need to be compensated, perhaps a GST.
In summary lots of issues. -
It'll never happen as State Governments receive around 5c for every dollar that is foolishly
played into these dreadful machines. They are a blight on our society and have destroyed many, many marriages, initiated much domestic violence, forced people into bankruptcies
and been the root cause of countless suicides. Sadly, I speak from bitter experience.
Arguments that removing them would be a loss of our civil rights are just complete malarkey.
All forms of gambling have got totally out of control in this country … and now we are constantly being blitzed with the rotten gambling companies ads on both television and our computers. What hope is there for our kids and grandkids if this constant brainwashing is further allowed to permeate its evil into society ? Both sides of politics are completely spineless on this matter and I pray that someday they'll serious address the problem on a bipartisan basis. -

Subject | [jira] Updated: (HADOOP-6166) Improve PureJavaCrc32 |
Date | Fri, 14 Aug 2009 21:05:14 GMT |
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-6166?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ] Todd Lipcon updated HADOOP-6166: -------------------------------- Attachment: Rplots-nehalem64.pdf Rplots-laptop.pdf Rplots-nehalem32.pdf Looks like the benchmark has run long enough to get good data. Here are the benchmarks from TestPureJavaCrc32 run on three different test systems. nehalem32 is the same nehalem box (3MB L2 cache) running a 32-bit JVM. nehalem64 is that box with a 64-bit JVM. "laptop" is my MacBook Pro (Core 2 duo) running a 64-bit JVM. Each PDF has several pages: - The first graph shows performance over the whole byte range tested. You'll definitely have to zoom in to be able to see anything here, and even then it's not that useful. - The remaining graphs show the different algorithms' performance on different sizes (same as the tables people have been pasting into JIRA) I ran the whole benchmark suite 50+ times to generate the error bars. Hopefully they'll serve as a good visual indicator for where the differences are actually statistically significant. In summary, here's how I interpret the data: - For the 4-byte case, PureJavaCrc32 wins out on my laptop and the 32-bit JVM by a strong margin. On the 64-bit JVM it's within 5-10% of the rest (very little difference) - The 8-byte case is interesting - all of the 16_16* CRCs perform worse then the _8_8 CRCs. On the 32-bit JDK it's especially obvious (nearly a factor of two) - The 512-byte case (probably most common for DFS) - everyone is pretty much neck and neck. The 8_8d implementation wins significantly on nehalem64, and the 8_8b wins significantly on nehalem32. On my laptop they're all within the error bars except for 16_16 which is significantly worse - The 16MB case is the same as the 512-byte case, just more pronounced. 8_8d wins on 64-bit, 8_8b on 32-bit, both by about 10%. So, I think the next step here is to profile a couple of MR applications to see what sizes are most common. My personal opinion is that we should target the 64-bit Nehalem architecture and the 128-byte size range. This would point to the 8_8d implementation as the winner. > Improve PureJavaCrc32 > --------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-6166 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-6166 > Project: Hadoop Common > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: util > Reporter: Tsz Wo (Nicholas), SZE > Assignee: Tsz Wo (Nicholas), SZE > Attachments: c6166_20090722.patch, c6166_20090722_benchmark_32VM.txt, c6166_20090722_benchmark_64VM.txt, c6166_20090727.patch, c6166_20090728.patch, c6166_20090810.patch, c6166_20090811.patch, graph.r, graph.r, Rplots-laptop.pdf, Rplots-nehalem32.pdf, Rplots-nehalem64.pdf, Rplots.pdf, Rplots.pdf, Rplots.pdf > > > Got some ideas to improve CRC32 calculation. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online. | |

In yet another 'sensational' development, a veteran Telugu producer who produced movies with Superstars Krishna and Rajnikanth announced a 'stunning' news for fans. Veteran producer U Suryanarayana Babu who produced many movies with Krishna and 'young' Mahesh confirmed that he is moving pawns to make a new-age movie with the present Superstars of Southern film industries.
Apparently, Suryanarayana Babu is having a close rapport with Rajni from his hey days and then he produced Mahesh's childhood movies like Sankaravam and Bajar Rowdy as he happens to be Superstar Krishna's relative. Recently this discontinued producer met Rajnikanth at 'Lingaa' shooting spot in Ramoji Film City to wish him formally. Excited meeting his early career's producer, Rajni asked him to venture into production again and asked him to come up with a script like 'Annadammula Savaal' such that he would act in it. That led to the seed of probable Rajni-Mahesh film, a 'superstar' multi-starrer.
Surprisingly, Mahesh expressed interest to work with Rajni and now the hunt for script is on. Currently busy with 'Lingaa', Rajni has another commitment with Eros Films as he is said to be repaying the loss incurred by 'Kochadaiyan'. And now that Mahesh is also busy with Koratala Siva's movie, we could expect this 'superstar' multi-starrer in 2015.

"Architecture historian Siegfried Giedion called Aalto's interior designs architectural chamber music. To extend the metaphor, Aalto's furniture is music for solo piano: warm, intimate, modestly scaled. It is also extremely functional, extremely comfortable, beautiful to see, pleasing to touch, and conceived with the supreme intelligence and sensitivity that characterizes all of this great architect's work. This abundantly illustrated book provides thorough documentation of Aalto's furniture, from his early Art Nouveau-like pieces to his late tours de force, and includes the collaborations with his wife, Aino. Various pieces are studied in terms of their technological and philosophical aspects."--"House Beautiful"
Reseña del editor:A book devoted to the furniture of the noted Finnish architect Alvar Aalto (1898-1976) is long overdue. Aalto's furniture designs are a superb example of the uncompromising spirit that has managed to overcome the boundaries of style and taste, fashion and social class. Many of his creations--some approaching their first half century--are now in greater demand than ever before and are among the outstanding examples of 20th-century furniture.The nearly 300 illustrations in this book, many in full color, document Aalto's furniture from his first known work to the latest bentwood variations by Artek Studio. Aalto's own working sketches are reproduced on tracing paper. The text opens with a preface by Juhani Pallasmaa. Igor Herler then discusses Aalto's early furniture and interior designs, including some that were previously unknown. Goran Schildt studies the evolution of Aalto's "trademark," the bentwood furniture; and Marja-Liisa Parko writes on Aalto's relation with Artek and some technical aspects of production. Elissa Aalto, Aalto's wife and partner, and Marja-Riitta Norri conclude with an essay on his fixed interior design work as an organic extension of his designs for standard furniture in a number of building types.The book also includes excerpts from Aalto's articles on interior and furniture design, a chronology of his mass-produced furniture, and a selection of Artek's standard models."Alvar Aalto Furniture" was originally published by the Museum of Finnish Architecture in Helsinki in conjunction with an exhibition devoted to Aalto's furniture and glass that has since traveled widely in the United States.

The yeast can float around while it's fermenting, but most will be at the bottom. When you put it in the fridge, everything with drop to the bottom.
View Instructable »There's not much you can do. If you use a small saw you still need a drill for the initial hole. Can you try to borrow a drill or a dremel?
View Instructable »Once you refrigerate it, all the yeast will drop to the bottom. It makes it easy to move the cider to a new container. Most of the bubbling will have stopped. My recipe is semi-sweet even after sitting in the fridge for a year. If you let them ferment longer than 3 weeks, then it will get dryer as the yeast eat the sugar. Taste it in 3 weeks or earlier, if it tastes good, you're done. If the sweetness is good but it tastes a little bitter or has an off flavor, that's when you need to let it age in the fridge. Fill up a 2 liter bottle and stick it in the back of the fridge and forget about it.
View Instructable »Yes, when it's done, keep it refrigerated. I refrigerate the cider and rack to a new container when the yeast drops out. There's still going to be some yeast in there and they will be a little active in the fridge. I've noticed that after I let the cider age 6 months to a year, the yeast that's left over actually carbonates it nicely. I've never bottled it in glass, if you do, you want some yeast in there for carbonation. If you force carbonate, you don't need the yeast but they won't hurt anything. It'll be an extra step to get rid of them.Good Luck.

When the U.S. plays England on Saturday, it will be one of the most anticipated matches of the tournament.
When: 4:30 a.m. PT. Where: Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium (Port Elizabeth)
TV: ESPN, ESPN Deportes and Univision (KMEX/Channel 34), 4:30 a.m.; ESPN Classic, delayed, 3 p.m.
Players to watch: Park Ji Sung is a legitimate star, capable of doing just about anything, and that's what the Koreans expect from him. Greece will rely heavily on midfielder leader Georgios Karagounas to reduce Park's effectiveness and on Teofanis Gekas to provide offense.
The scoop: A meeting of opposites in one of the most crucial games of the first stage: The winner likely is taking a big step toward the knockout phase, and the loser is all but finished. A draw helps neither. The Koreans are a quick, skilled, dynamic group who can mesmerize when their on their game; they've usually found the World Cup a level beyond them. The Taegeuk Warriors have won only once on the big stage outside Korea, beating embattled Togo four years ago. Greece won the 2004 European Championship, impressing only with their grit and tenacity, and its greatest achievement since is qualifying for this World Cup. To Piratiko ("The Pirate Ship") is all about defensive organization and suffocating opposing attacks, but German coach "King Otto" Rehhagel has the best collection of attacking talent the nation has known.
History: South Korea has advanced from the first stage only once in seven World Cup appearances, at home in 2002. Greece was outscored, 10-0, with three losses in its only World Cup, back in 1994.
Prediction: South Korea 1, Greece 0
When: 7 a.m. PT. Where: Ellis Park/Coca-Cola Park (Johannesburg)
TV: ESPN, ESPN Deportes and Univision (KMEX/Channel 34), 7 a.m.; ESPN Classic, delayed, 5 p.m.
Players to watch: Lionel Messi -- and you'll get no argument from anyone anywhere -- is the most thrilling player on the planet, and if he can approximate here what he does at Barcelona, Argentina has a real title shot. More important: Midfield general Javier Mascherano, the Albiceleste's captain and perhaps the world's top central midfielder. Nigeria needs the best of Obafemi Martins, who scores goals at a nice clip but is woefully inconsistent.
The scoop: There seem few doubts that Diego Maradona is nuts and plenty of doubt that he's a genius, at least off the field. So there's three possibilities for this Argentine team: Win in spite of him, lose because of him, or show that, yes, he's a real genius. The first option seems likeliest, at least for awhile: Argentina has so much more talent than everyone else in Group B, and it ought to get its third World Cup win over Nigeria in as many meetings (1994, 2002). Messi gets most of the attention, but there's several top-level strikers, with perhaps Diego Milito, the hero of Inter Milan's UEFA Champions League triumph, and Gonzalo Higuain, who scored 27 goals for Real Madrid, in the best form. Nigeria is reeling: John Obi Mikel's attempt to return from a knee injury failed at the end, and its most experienced defenders -- Joseph Yobo and Danny Shittu -- saw little action this season.
History: Brazil's Mario Zagallo and Germany's Franz Beckenbauer are the only men to win World Cups as both a player and coach. Argentina's Diego Maradona could become the third.
Prediction: Argentina 2, Nigeria 1
When: 11:30 a.m. PT. Where: Royal Bafokeng Sports Palace (Phokeng, near Rustenburg)
TV: ABC (KABC/Channel 7), ESPN Deportes and Univision (KMEX/Channel 34), 11:30 a.m.; ESPN Classic, delayed, 7 p.m.; ESPN2, delayed, midnight.
Players to watch: Wayne Rooney might be the best finisher in the world, and it's all about attitude with him. Preventing service to him is vital, although it's hardly enough: Midfielders Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard are accomplished scorers. Landon Donovan and Clint Dempsey are the big names for the Yanks, but their success probably will have more to do with goalkeeper Tim Howard, one of the best netminders in the English Premier League, and central defender Oguchi Onyewu, who apparently is ready to go 90 minutes for the first time since his October knee injury.
The scoop: No matchup in this World Cup has been more hyped than this one, and there seem plenty of parallels with the Americans' games in 1994 against Colombia and 2002 against Portugal. Both of those teams were considered strong contenders; both lost to the U.S. This England side is better than either of them, especially in attack, and if defense is (as it appears) the Yanks' biggest weakness, this could be really ugly. But they've always played better as underdogs, and they certainly believe they can compete with and even beat England. The big question marks for the U.S. concern the frontline (Jozy Altidore is a likely starter, despite a sore ankle; there are several options to partner him) and the backline (is everyone healthy? Can everyone avoid costly errors?), and the answers will largely determine how competitive this game will be.
History: England skipped the first three World Cups, finding the idea that somebody would question its supremacy most insulting. So when the Three Lions finally agreed to play in 1950, they headed to Brazil confident of returning home with the trophy. Their second opponent, on June 29 in Belo Horizonte, was a U.S. team made up of semiprofessionals and immigrants. The Americans' 1-0 triumph, on Haitian forward Joe Gaetjens' first-half goal, is the greatest upset in soccer history.
Note: Two, of many, viewing parties worth noting: The Galaxy will again be at the ESPN Zone at L.A. Live, with Cobi Jones on hand. And the American Outlaws supporters group's L.A. chapter will be watching at Capitol City on Cahuenga (between Sunset and Hollywood boulevards) in Hollywood.
Prediction: England 3, United States 1

Perhaps because he had seen so much death and bloodshed Black Elk developed a grim sense of humor. Two of his stories illustrate this. One story involved a Lakota man named Watanye, who was known for his severely chapped lips. Watanye was determined not to laugh because it was so painful. So the roughneck Lakota boys, including Black Elk, tried all the more to make Watanye laugh. But without success. One day Watanye let young Black Elk go spear-fishing with him. In his boyish enthusiasm Black Elk launched his spear—and himself!—into the stream. When he surfaced he saw Watanye doubled over in laughter but also grunting in pain. Watanye had to avoid Black Elk after that. 'Because every time Watanye saw me he had to laugh,' recalled Black Elk with some satisfaction. Another grimly humorous story Black Elk told involved a prolonged skirmish with white soldiers. It was not unheard of for a Lakota, if he had battled for many hours or even days, to just sit down and eat right in the middle of the fight. This time Black Elk sat down with fellow warrior Red Crow to eat dried meat or jerky. A bullet struck between them, kicking dirt over their food. They calmly continued to eat their fill. 'If I had been killed there that moment I would have at least died with food in my mouth,' Black Elk joked later.

It is hard to criticize one who suffered as much death and sorrow as Black Elk. Besides, Black Elk left little evidence that he was irritable or petty, as some of the greatest heroes were at weak moments. And he had no notion that he would become an icon for the Native American, however false an icon crafted by the poet John Neihardt. For Black Elk was not a defeated Lakota without hope. In fact, after the Wounded Knee massacre he struggled the remaining 60 years of his life—staying active even semi-blind and crippled—to help his Lakotas, first as a medicine man and then as a Christian catechist. Yet he was flawed. At 12 he had a very great vision that obligated him to help the Lakotas preserve their old ways. Black Elk admitted later, "I had been appointed by my vision to be intercessor for my people with the spirit powers...if I had done this probably we would have been as we were before [the white men came]. At this time, when I had these things in my mind, I was abroad with strange people..." Abroad? Yes, Black Elk in 1886, although an accepted holy man of great promise among the Lakota, chose to leave the Lakota and travel with the Buffalo Bill Wild West Show. He went to New York City, then Europe, to see the ways of the world. He did not return to his people until 1889. "Before I went, he said, "some of my people were looking well, but when I got back they all looked pitiful." Had he missed his appointed moment to help his people? Black Elk agonized over that question the rest of his life...

Black Elk had a colossal vision in 1872 at the age of nine. He was unconscious for 12 days. The Thunder-beings in his vision seemed to entrust him with no less a task than saving the Lakota nation. But it was not solely a peaceful mission (as falsely depicted by poet John Neihardt in Black Elk Speaks). By the year 1900 Black Elk was supposed to have used the 'soldier weed' to exterminate all enemies. A touch of the rare herb, whose identity the Thunder-beings revealed to Black Elk in his vision, caused instant death. In a later vision he was told 'all enemies should be killed without pity like dogs'. But by 1900 Black Elk had resisted the temptation to use the soldier weed against the whites. Wholesale destruction, even of the whites, was unthinkable. He simply could not fulfill the vision. For this he felt great guilt. He consoled himself by practicing native healing, called 'yuwipi' but he was more and more disillusioned and dejected. Much of yuwipi, though often effective in healing, was made theatrical through tricks. 'Yuwipi is just like a magician trying to fool people,' Black Elk admitted to daughter Lucy later. Besides that, he had nearly blinded himself experimenting with gunpowder for his yuwipi. Moreover, his yuwipi had not saved his father in 1889, his son William in 1897 or his wife Katie. When she died in 1903 Black Elk was about 40, a Lakota medicine man of some repute. But in his heart he was a miserable failure. He couldn't save the helpless ones in his own family, let alone the Lakota nation...

In November 1904 Black Elk was about 40 years old. He was a medicine man practicing 'yuwipi' on the Lakota reservation. He was respected but his heart was heavy. His father, brother, son William and wife Katie were dead. He had been unable to help them. He had experienced a great vision in his boyhood but had been unable to fulfill it. Yet he plodded on. When Lakota asked him for help he performed his yuwipi. Some of the Lakota had become Christians. Sam Kills Brave, the leader of the Manderson community in which Black Elk lived, was a Christian. Sam gently chided Black Elk, 'Become a Christian and give up the yuwipi. It is not right to do yuwipi.' One day Black Elk was called to perform yuwipi for a dying boy in Payabya. He had scarcely started in the tipi when he heard a horse and wagon rumble up and the Black Robe they called Ate Ptecela ('Short Father') rushed in. 'This boy is baptized,' grumbled the tiny Black Robe. 'Get out!' Black Elk—who fought at the Little Big Horn and Wounded Knee—was no one to trifle with. And he knew how to use spiritual power. But this time he felt utterly powerless. He left the tipi and sat down completely sapped. His power had been useless against the Black Robe. Nonexistent. He looked up as the Black Robe came out of the tipi. 'You come with me,' said the Black Robe in Lakota. Short Father had unerringly assessed Black Elk's spiritual vacuum. At the Holy Rosary mission priests instructed Black Elk. Just as he once absorbed the complex details of a vision with the Thunder-beings he now absorbed the complex theology of Christianity. On December 6, the feast day of St. Nicholas, he was baptized Nicholas Black Elk. Although for the rest of his life he would demonstrate certain sacred rituals of the Lakota he felt were fundamentally true he would never again practice yuwipi under any conditions. [sources: Raymond DeMallie, The Sixth Grandfather, Univ. of Nebraska Press, 1984; Michael Steltenkamp, Black Elk, Holy Man of the Oglala, Univ. of Oklahoma Press, 1993] ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> WHY IS BLACK ELK SO CONTROVERSIAL?
The undeniable facts are that from 1881 to 1904 Black Elk was an active, respected medicine man among the Lakota and that from 1904 to 1950 he was an active, respected catechist (or instructor) for Christianity among the Lakota. However, interpretations of his life vary widely. Here are several that have been proposed by scholars: 1. Black Elk believed only in his native Lakota religion; he practiced Christianity only to make money. 2. Black Elk totally rejected his native religion for Christianity. 3. Black Elk accepted the truths of both the Lakota religion and Christianity but regarded them separately. 4. Black Elk accepted the truths of both religions and developed a sophisticated framework in which Christianity became the fulfillment of his Lakota religion. In recent years the last hypothesis is gaining some acceptance. Black Elk was a profound religious thinker (far more profound than his elitist biographer John Neihardt). In spite of being nearly blind Black Elk had taught himself the written Lakota language. He not only read the Bible but felt obligated to have scholars (John Neihardt and Joseph Epes Brown) record the ancient, sacred beliefs of the Lakota. To learn Black Elk's actual testimony, avoid the doctored book Black Elk Speaks in favor of the more accurate The Sixth Grandfather. To get the flavor of the raging controversy, sample The Black Elk Reader (2000)—as supposed scholars fling misinformation, distorted facts and self-serving interpretations at each other. ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> The very summer (1930) John Neihardt discovered his supposedly defeated old man named Black Elk the author Mari Sandoz's friend Eleanor Hinman also met Black Elk and was stunned by what she called one of the most expressive faces she ever saw on any man: "For just that fraction of a second I saw 'Tashunkeh Witco,' [Crazy Horse] reflected in his cousin's face as in a mirror..." ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><> ><>

Personal defense situations rarely present themselves when you're using a comfortable ready position. Oftentimes, assailants must be engaged spontaneously when you may be sitting down in a restaurant, buckled into a car or laying on the ground.
Under many circumstances, its important to understand how to eliminate a threat from unusual positions. On this segment of Personal Defense TV, Richard Nance and Dave Spaulding explain how to engage targets from inferior positions.
