The Long Lead Parts Procurement Starts
The U.S. Air Force has awarded Lockheed Martin two fixed-price contracts totaling $120 million to procure long lead parts for the fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth next generation Global Positioning System satellites, known as GPS III.
The GPS III program will affordably replace aging GPS satellites while improving capability to meet the evolving demands of military, commercial and civilian users. GPS III satellites will deliver better accuracy and improved anti-jamming power while enhancing the spacecraft?s design life and adding a new civil signal designed to be interoperable with international global navigation satellite systems.
Incorporating lessons learned from previous GPS programs, the Air Force initiated a ?back-to-basics? acquisition approach for GPS III. The strategy emphasizes early investments in rigorous systems engineering, industry-leading parts standards, and the development of a full-size GPS III satellite prototype to significantly reduce risk, improve production predictability, increase mission assurance and lower overall program costs. These investments early in the GPS III program are designed to prevent the types of engineering issues discovered on other programs late in the manufacturing process or even on orbit.
Lockheed Martin is currently under contract for production of the first four GPS III satellites, and will now begin advanced procurement of long-lead components for the fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth satellites. The Air Force plans to purchase as many as 32 GPS III satellites. The GPS III team is led by the Global Positioning Systems Directorate at the U.S. Air Force Space and Missile Systems Center.

Broadband Joins The Rotary World
ViaSat Inc. has demonstrated a high-performance Ka-band satellite communication system that delivers beyond line-of-sight (BLOS) broadband for rotary wing aircraft.
This advanced system provided sustained data rates of 4Mbps from the helicopter to a ground station and 8Mbps to the helicopter despite very high shock and vibration and the inherent repetitive signal blockage from rotating blades.
While previous ?through the blade? demonstrations have proved the underlying patented and patent-pending technology, this flight test at Patuxent River, Maryland used a Sikorsky H-3 helicopter.
Flight conditions encompassed rigorous maneuvers, including severe banking and operation through several rotor orientations while running data-intensive applications. During multiple tests, operators were able to simultaneously run five VoIP calls, three VTCs from air to ground, and streaming videos from the Internet to the aircraft. All applications ran without packet loss or video dropout. This new system builds on proven ViaSat mobile Ku- and Ka- technologies using a modified waveform optimized for efficient through-the-blade broadband communications. The system can be used on manned and unmanned rotary wing platforms and provides communications regardless of the number of blades, blade size, number of rotors, or their orientation on the airframe.

Defending CENTCOM Critical MILSATCOM Links
More than 22,000 miles away, spinning silently through the vacuum of space, is one of the most critical components to air, space and cyberspace superiority today; a satellite.
The mission to defend and protect the operability of that satellite rests a little closer to home, at the U.S. Air Forces Central Command Combined Air and Space Operations Center within the Combat Operations Division?s Space Cell.
?We have five priority missions we support,? said Capt. Brandon Davenport, the Space Cell chief. ?Theater missile warning, personnel recovery support, satellite communications, GPS constellation health and modeling, as well as battle space characterization.?
One of the biggest threats to satellite communications and GPS missions is its vulnerability to electromagnetic interference, or EMI, which causes the signal to be ?jammed.?
Jamming, at its most basic level, is denying a satellite the ability to communicate by overwhelming it with energy where it would expect to see the friendly signal. This is basically like someone using a bullhorn to drown out someone else?s conversation.
This type of occurrence can be intentional, in which case it is considered hostile, or accidental. The most common causes of accidental EMI are easily found and remedied. Hostile jamming, however, can require a more creative solution.
?To assure minimal operational impact, our communicators systematically work through actions to quickly restore the services affected.? said Lt. Col. Jason Knight, the Director of Space Force?s assigned space weapons officer. ?If the EMI is determined to be intentional, we engage up the chain and through other governmental agencies to apply non-lethal, or lethal, national instruments of power in order to quickly restore services and resolve the problem.?
EMI resolution would not be possible without cross-Combatant Command and cross-agency collaboration between space and cyber professionals, or one of the most technical aspects of the space cell?s mission, geolocation of a hostile jamming signal.
?Our focus is to track down a jamming signal with high-confidence and say ?it?s this guy?,? Knight said. ?By combining our cyber and space expertise at the operational and tactical levels we are better able to attribute and identify sources of interference, and eliminate intentional denial of SATCOM by our adversaries.?
Because the satellite transmission spreads out as it travels toward Earth at the speed of light, each satellite covers an area approximately one-third of the planet?s surface from its perch far into outer space.
This allows for overlap between several satellites and grants U.S. forces the flexibility to shift to another satellite if necessary to complete the mission.
The linchpin in this whole process is Operation Silent Sentry, run by the 379th Expeditionary Operations Squadron. The Silent Sentry team?s mission is to monitor hundreds of satellite transmissions every week using the Rapid Attack Identification Detection Reporting System and help detect and locate signals that do not belong on U.S. satellites, such as a jammer.
?The Silent Sentry antennas and our satellites represent two known locations and the jammer a third, unknown location,? Davenport said. ?Because we start knowing two out of three points, and have both frequency and time values available to us, we can use algebra to figure out a line running north south as well as a line running east and west of possible locations. Where those lines cross, we?ll find the offending transmitter.?
Though the technology does not yet exist to prevent jamming, the available actions that the U.S. military and its allies may take can be swift and decisive.
?Most emitters that put our systems at risk can be identified by our teams,? Davenport said. ?During combat, an adversary could technically jam our satellite signals, but we can recover fairly quickly, attribute the source of interference and respond accordingly.?

Worth Repeating
An advanced satellite payload for Cospas-Sarsat, the global search-and-rescue system, is to be developed by Canada?s COM DEV International Ltd.
The contract for the first phase of the Medium Earth Orbit Search and Rescue project was issued by Canada?s Department of Public Works and Government Services and is worth about $4.6 million.
The Cospas-Sarsat system was established in the 1970s by Canada, the United States, France and Russia and became operational in 1982.
Under the contract, COM DEV will develop a fully integrated prototype MEOSAR repeater, which will provide enhanced and more rapid detection of emergency distress signals anywhere in the world from an orbit altitude of more than 16 miles.
The repeaters will be used on the next generation constellation of Global Positioning Satellites. COM DEV began the development of its MEOSAR technology in 2008 under through a Canadian Space Agency project.

The COMCEPT Concept
The DGA?Defense French Procurement Agency?late last year awarded ACTIA SODIELEC and its partner ASTRIUM SERVICES a contract for the realization of the COMCEPT Network and Ground Segment.
With this SATCOM system, French military forces will access high throughput transmissions in Ka-band, using the new Athena-Fidus satellite that will be launched in early 2014.
Within this new contract, ACTIA SODIELEC will develop, manufacture, and test COMCEPT cornerstone User Satcom Terminals: High Data Rate Terminal (HDR), Theater & Metropolitan Terminal (TMT) and Small Deployable Terminal (SDT). Design of these terminals will be compatible both with commercial and Governmental Ka-band.

SATCOM Terminal Training Suite Upgraded
The Army recently began schoolhouse computer-based and simulated training upgrades for its advanced Secure Mobile Anti-Jam Reliable Tactical -- Terminal to evolve the previous legacy training system to accommodate various new system enhancements.
When commanders need protected, secure throughput for worldwide communications, they rely on the Secure Mobile Anti-Jam Reliable Tactical -- Terminal, or SMART-T.
This system makes it possible for Soldiers to extend the range of their network in such a manner that communications cannot be jammed, detected or intercepted. The Advanced Extremely High Frequency, or AEHF, SMART-Ts provide advanced capability to the force over legacy systems, including a four-fold increase in throughput and enhanced security features.
?Since all of the legacy SMART-T systems are currently being upgraded to the AEHF capability, these training upgrades are a vital step in ensuring that Soldiers and their units are getting the most out of these improved protected communication capabilities, and in the most efficient and cost-effective manner available,? said Lt. Col. Greg Coile, product manager for Satellite Communications, or PdM SATCOM, which manages SMART-T. PdM SATCOM is assigned to the Army?s Project Manager Warfighter Information Network-Tactical.
The United States Army Signal School and Fort Gordon, Georgia, training upgrades began in December 2012 after months of planning and scheduling critical events.
Major enhancements include the AEHF upgrades to the Satellite Simulator, or SATSIM, and Computer Based Training, or CBT, system, along with the addition of 12 new AEHF SMART-T systems, with the last of these systems being delivered in February.
The updated training began in mid-January with four Army classes and one Marine class, totaling 73 students. Over the next year, the three-week AEHF SMART-T course will be taught to 62 classes, with more than 1,000 Army students and 100 Air Force, Marines and civilians.
?These training enhancements increase efficiencies for both the Army and Marine Corps,? said Larry Raville, SMART-T project lead. ?If these Soldiers have an AEHF SMART-T fielded to their unit, they will have already had the Advanced EHF training, eliminating the need for delta training had they only been trained on the legacy system.?
With SMART-T, Soldiers at the brigade echelon and above can send text, data, voice and video communications beyond their area of operations without worrying that the information will fall into the hands of enemy forces.
SMART-T is part of the WIN-T architecture and is compatible with both WIN-T Increment 1 and Increment 2, which make up the Army?s tactical communications network backbone.
Similar to a home Internet connection, WIN-T Increment 1 provides high-speed, high-capacity voice, data and video communications to units on the battlefield, at-the-halt or at-the-quick-halt.
WIN-T Increment 2 provides this network to maneuver formations down to the company level while on the move. In May WIN-T Increment 2 will undergo its Follow-on Operational Test and Evaluation at Fort Bliss, Texas, and White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico. As part of the training improvements at Fort Gordon, the facility?s SATSIM was upgraded to accommodate the new AEHF SMART-T training.
The SATSIM provides constant simulated satellite access to allow training to be conducted year-round, without interruption or overloading the satellite in real-time.
Satellite time is a limited and costly resource. However, the simulator provides the same training benefits and replicates everything that Soldiers would normally see if they were logged onto a real satellite, thus decreasing satellite cost and dependency.
?Simulation is a big focus now because our forces can train in real-time without having to utilize valuable satellite resources,? said Mel Pointer, SMART-T logistics management specialist. ?Now instead of Soldiers logging on to the actual satellite for training, they can use the SATSIM, and that satellite resource can be more appropriately dedicated to an operational unit where it is most needed.?
The SMART-T CBT system was also upgraded to accommodate the AEHF capabilities. The CBT replicates a satellite and AEHF SMART-T working in tandem so Soldiers receive real-time, simulated training as if they were actually using the system.
In the past this server-based system was used to provide classroom training on the legacy SMART-T, but in January both the server and CBT classrooms were upgraded to accommodate the upgraded AEHF version of the system.
The number of classrooms and student capacity was also increased to four classrooms with 24 students per class, running two or three shifts.
Although it is not practical or cost efficient to have enough actual live AEHF SMART-Ts to put every Soldier on a terminal for hands-on experience for the entirety of the course, the SATSIM and CBT upgrades maximize the amount of training that can be conducted by minimizing the amount of hands-on training time needed.
Following the classroom training with the SATSIM and CBT, the SMART-T AEHF terminals themselves provide hands-on training through live practical exercises.
Since the Soldiers already had the simulated training, by the time they get to the hands-on training, they know how to operate the system.
?By having this updated SMART-T AEHF training available, Fort Gordon, the Training and Doctrine Command, and the Army are postured to absorb any type of Military Operational Specialty surge that might arise in the future and they will be well prepared to meet any increased training requirements,? Pointer said.

Four Days Of Flight Without Need Of Fuel
Boeing?s liquid hydrogen-powered Phantom Eye unmanned airborne system completed its second flight Feb. 25, demonstrating capabilities that will allow it to perform intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) missions for up to four days without refueling.
During the flight, at NASA?s Dryden Flight Research Center at Edwards Air Force Base, California, Phantom Eye climbed above an altitude of 8,000 feet and remained aloft for 66 minutes at a cruising speed of 62 knots before landing. The aircraft exceeded what it achieved last year during its first flight when it flew at an altitude of 4,080 feet and remained aloft for 28 minutes.
Boeing is self-funding development of the environmentally responsible Phantom Eye, which generates only water as a byproduct of its propulsion system.
Following the first flight, Boeing upgraded the aircraft?s software and hardware, including the landing gear. The upgrades paid off in the form of a picture-perfect landing.
The Phantom Eye demonstrator is capable of carrying a 450-pound payload while operating for up to four days at altitudes of up to 65,000 feet.

Archangels Continue Satellite Control Legacy
Alpha Company at Fort Detrick began its existence as the first Satellite Operation Center in 1982.
Since then, the Archangels (Alpha) have led the 53rd Signal Battalion (Satellite Control) in several technological advancements to better serve the United States Military in the ever-increasing need for satellite communications.
With the launch of the Wideband Global Satellite 5, Alpha Company is now preparing to make the next move in advancing satellite communications to soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines around the world.
WGS is the latest military communication satellite, with the first launching in 2007.
The WGS constellation continues to mature and Alpha Company will be taking on the newest mission.
Although this is not the first WGS in orbit, it will be a first for the 59 soldiers, one Department of Army civilian and 11 contractors who make up the Archangels.
?We continually endeavor to provide seamless communications to our users, and Alpha has created a yearlong training plan to ensure mission accomplishment with WGS,? said Capt. Mark Anderson, company commander.
?The Archangels have worked with a legacy satellite constellation known as the Defense Satellite Communication System for more than 30 years, and the move to WGS requires training on new equipment and most importantly?experience. Alpha Company has drawn from multiple resources to ensure our satellite controllers are prepared for this mission.
?We have the benefit of five geographically dispersed sister companies and other agencies to support our train-up. Our Sister Companies around the world are able to share a wealth of knowledge about this new system, but we are fortunate to have one of our sister companies, Bravo Company, located an hour down the road at Fort Meade, Maryland.?
According to Anderson their location allows Alpha Company to conduct new mission training by bringing WGS experienced soldiers here, as well as sending soldiers to the Bravo location. In addition to this new mission training, he said, the ability to learn from subject matter experts on new equipment and positions has proved invaluable.
?All of our satellite control equipment training is conducted on site, and takes up to six months for Soldiers to achieve their initial certification. This type of mission has no room for error, so training is a constant at Alpha Company.?
In addition to new mission training, Alpha Company has been able to work with multiple organizations to change their site configuration to utilize a WGS.?This has created the ability for our satellite controllers to experience a ?crawl, walk, run? training plan. This is the first time this site re-configuration has ever been attempted, and has proven to be a success. The ability to look at a different WGS before taking on our new mission has created a real world WGS operating environment at the Alpha Company site.?
This opportunity allows the company to test and validate new standard operating procedures, as well as give the satellite controllers real world experience, while having another operations center sit in the ?back-up? seat to coach Alpha Company along.
The 53rd Signal Battalion?s goal of providing the best customer support possible does not stop, no matter what systems they use. ?Alpha Company?s new WGS mission is no exception making our long range planning and execution so important,? Anderson said.
?This train-up utilizing organizations and agencies around the world will ultimately ensure the Warfighter has all the satellite resources needed to fulfill their mission for years to come.?

Police are investigating what caused a bus carrying a college women's lacrosse team to veer off the Pennsylvania Turnpike and crash into a tree, killing a pregnant coach, her unborn child and the driver.
Players and coaches from Seton Hill University, near Pittsburgh, were among 23 people aboard when the bus crashed Saturday morning. The team was headed to an afternoon game at Millersville University, about 50 miles from the crash site in central Pennsylvania.
Head coach Kristina Quigley, 30, of Greensburg died of her injuries at a hospital, Cumberland County authorities said. Quigley was about six months pregnant and her unborn son didn't survive. The bus driver, Anthony Guaetta, 61, of Johnstown, died at the scene.
Two victims flown to Penn State Hershey Medical Center remained there Sunday, but no information was released about their identities or conditions. A woman was in satisfactory condition at another hospital and was expected to be discharged later Sunday. All others aboard the bus were taken to hospitals as a precaution, but almost all were treated and released.
Police couldn't immediately say what had caused the crash. The front side of the bus, which was towed from the scene Saturday night, was shorn away, and the vehicle came to rest upright about 70 yards from the highway at the bottom of a grassy slope.
Both Saturday's game and a Sunday home game were canceled after the crash, and Seton Hill, a Catholic liberal arts school of about 2,500 students, said a memorial Mass was planned for Sunday night on campus. The school is also offering grief counseling to students.
Duquesne University women's lacrosse coach Mike Scerbo remembered Quigley as a warm, outgoing person who immediately impressed him when he hired her to be an assistant during the 2008 season.
Quigley, a Duquesne alum, spent just one season under Scerbo before moving to South Carolina to start Erskine College's NCAA Division II program.
"In that time, I really saw how much passion she had to be a coach, and how much she enjoyed working with the kids," Scerbo said. "She was a teacher, and she wanted to help kids grow and learn, not just about the sport, but about life."
She spent three years at Erskine before taking the top job at Seton Hill for the 2012 season. She stayed in touch with Scerbo, often seeking his guidance and showing up at the Duquesne alumni game.
"She was a very happy person, very passionate about life, about her players, about her job and most importantly about her family," Scerbo said.
Quigley, a native of Baltimore, was married and had a young son, Gavin, the school said.
The bus operator, Mlaker Charter & Tours, of Davidsville, Pa., is up-to-date on its inspections, which include bus and driver safety checks, said Jennifer Kocher, a spokeswoman for the state Public Utility Commission, which regulates bus companies.
The agency's motor safety inspectors could think of no accidents or violations involving the company that would raise a red flag, she said, though complete safety records were not available Saturday.
On Tuesday, another bus carrying college lacrosse players from a Vermont team was hit by a sports car that spun out of control on a wet highway in upstate New York, sending the bus toppling onto its side, police said. One person in the car died.

Women want a bigger voice in government | Majirox News
Japan has a poor record when it comes to women?s rights, ranking 101 out of 135 according to some statistics. A new political party founded as the result of a Facebook message is looking to change that, and to improve the lot of other disadvantaged groups as well as that of women in Japan.
TOKYO (majirox news) ? A new Japanese political party started as the result of a single Facebook comment held there first press conference in Tokyo. It already has more than 2,000 members, and the numbers are still rising. The All-Japan Obachan Party is aiming to change the role of women in politics and in everyday life.
?The members of both parties are almost all men wearing dark grey suits and discussing sensitive diplomatic problems concerning Senkaku Islands or changing the constitution of Japan without women?s opinions,? said Tomoko Satome, a doctor at Shiomidai Hospital in Kanagawa Prefecture, at a recent press conference in Tokyo.
Prime Minister Shinzo Abe claims that he wants to increase the role of women in Japanese society. The new party points to his cabinet, which contains only two women, and disputes his claim.
?But it is a very gender biased society made by a male dominant society,? Satome said. ?Our situation is the same as the 1960s when I was born so we must act it change it, from the bottom to top, the top to bottom.?
According to the World Economic Forum, Japan fares badly when compared to other nations in terms of gender equality rated 101 out of 135. The new party wants to redress this: better rights, job opportunities, equal pay, and adequate levels of child care for women wanting to work.
Hiroko Inokuma, an associate professor at Tokyo City University, said at the press conference, ?I?m really surprised seeing women talk about politics, they spoke out and messaged about it. I believe this is the first time, and our activities brought this out wider and wider, and men can?t avoid our opinions in the future.?
The All-Japan Obachan Party fears that the traditionally minded ruling Liberal Democratic Party will promote old-style cultural values where women stay at home, stay quiet, and men work.
Hiromi Taguchi, a 26-year-old secretary, said, ?Japanese women need to participate in politics. We are way too quiet, and need to speak out on all of our country?s problems and policies, not just gender issues.?
In addition to campaigning for women?s rights, the members of the party wish to draw attention to other groups within Japanese society that they see as being disadvantaged.
This new party has helped to raise women?s issues in the country. However, what they really want, they say, is more representation in government and in the prime minister?s cabinet.

Prince delivers funk-filled finale at SXSW
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) ? How did Prince close out South by Southwest Music Festival's weeklong showcase of rock n' roll?
By naturally throwing a totally different kind of party: a grooving, brass band-backed funk fest that stretched to 3 a.m. and outlasted many fans lucky enough to get inside the exclusive show that also featured A Tribe Called Quest.
As Justin Timberlake and the Smashing Pumpkins headlined other SXSW wrap-ups nearby, Prince prevailed as the toughest ticket Saturday night by performing for only 300 people in his first appearance at the annual music festival that drew 2,200 bands and artists this year.
Prince towered over them all ? but his concert at the tiny La Zona Rosa club that sits on the fringe of the SXSW mayhem was no grandiose spectacle. He performed for 2? hours on a spartan stage behind a giant video board. He contentedly played bandleader instead of superstar, often disappearing backstage for stretches as the band jammed.
"They called our people and said they wanted some funk in Austin," said Prince, before belting out the last bars of a gentle rendition of "Purple Rain."
A 12-piece brass band joined the latest incarnation of Prince's New Power Generation for a run of hits like "1999" and "Cool" that jammed with a soulful backbone. The show began with the band making a Mardi Gras-style march onto the stage, only to have their horn blasts drowned out by shrieks upon fans sighting Prince in a magenta, high-collared shirt and snug black blazer.
Organizers warned the crowd three times before the show that taking pictures was forbidden. Fans who flaunted the rule were scolded by security or told to scram. Even simply using a cellphone was banned at the concert thrown by phone-maker Samsung, though promoters worked the crowd beforehand, offering customers fresh phone batteries or device test-drives.
Prince never played guitar during the set. Nor did he perform his new single "Screwdriver" that debuted earlier this year, opting instead for funk covers: Curtis Mayfield's "We're a Winner" and Michael Jackson's "Don't Stop Until You Get Enough" among them as the night dragged on and weary fans made their way to the exits early.
"Don't make me hurt you. You know how many hits I got?" Prince said during the first of several pseudo-set closers, before launching into another encore.
Green Day, Dave Grohl, Vampire Weekend, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and Natalie Maines of the Dixie Chicks also starred at SXSW this week.

The Law You Don't Want To Break - Abundance And Prosperity

What is abundance and prosperity for you? Is it the bed fellow of the man that speeds by in his luxury car? You look at their jet setting lifestyle and you think, why do all the breaks happen to them and not to me? I can tell you right now it's because of what you just said. That is having a poor man mindset. You will find in this article how changing the way you think can change your life. A good life is not only for the select few, it's for you.
Let us define abundance. Abundance is an overflowing fullness of supply in every area in our lives. When you are amply supplied with more than you need, you are indeed prosperous. Do not ever think this is reserved only for the elite and intelligent because it's not. If you desire it and are willing to do what it takes; then you too can have a life that overflows.
Did you ever stop to consider that despite its 'age', the universe continues to grow in proportions incalculable to man's sophisticated tools? How about nature with the constant evolution of its plant and animal species? This is the law of abundance at work. Even if resources seem to be running out, there is always, always more than there is lack.
Your mind determines the fate of your prosperity. Remember, the world keeps churning out vast resources of wealth and you have to make it your occupation to realize this. Your perspective will either help you or fail you here. If you see all the things you do not have and look at the world as a limited center for riches--then you may never move out of your state in life. Conversely, if you choose to think positive no matter what and open yourself up for opportunities available in the world; then you can soon take your place with the great ones on earth.
What energy are you drawing to yourself? If there is a lack in your life, investigate the preexisting thoughts you have regarding that matter. If you think every virus that there ever was will be coming to get you; surprise, you will be sick a lot of times. This doesn't mean throw away your doctor's card if you are actually sick-positive thinking (emphasis on the latter word) and reasonable prudence is a wise way to live. Make a choice to focus on good things and do your best to work out whatever else that needs to be done.
The thoughts you have are more than insubstantial daydreams that you engage in to pass time. It is powerful and highly charged. Think about prayer. This act involves your heart, mind and spirit to bring to pass your life's desires. The law of abundance operates by receiving these 'vibrations' from your inner man to the physical world, commanding the manifestation to appear. Use this tool to your advantage and you will discover the results will prove it true.
Remember, your needs and desires are valid and it is part of being alive. The good news is provision has already been made for you. There is only a decision you need to make today: go on your life like the rest of the world; or dare to aim for abundance and prosperity and live a full life because of it. It's not that hard really, choose the latter and you will never regret it.

Ronda Rousey and winner of Miesha Tate/Cat Zingano to coach coed version of ?The Ultimate Fighter?
During the broadcast of UFC 158, UFC president Dana White announced that women's bantamweight champ Ronda Rousey and the winner of an upcoming bout between Cat Zingano and Miesha Tate will coach on the next season of "The Ultimate Fighter." The new UFC division made its debut just weeks ago at UFC 157, and this will be the first time women act as coaches on the show that helped launch the UFC to the company it is today.
White said the show will feature both male and female bantamweights who are trying to win a UFC contract. They will train together and live together in a house in Las Vegas. Tryouts for bantamweight hopefuls will take place on April 15 in Las Vegas.
The longtime staple of the UFC had faltered in ratings in recent seasons. However, the season currently airing, coached by UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones and his upcoming opponent Chael Sonnen, has injected new life into the show.
Adding women to the mix for the first time should continue to boost ratings. If Tate wins her Apr. 13 bout against Zingano, it will add bad blood between the coaches. Tate and Rousey fought for the Strikeforce bantamweight belt last March, and had plenty of animosity with each other before the bout.
But Rousey will be a draw no matter who she coaches against. She is known for her outspoken personality, and drew a ton of interest for her UFC debut in late February.

New study points to the aggressive potential of small kidney tumors, advocates treatment
Mar. 16, 2013 ? Small kidney tumours have an aggressive potential and should be treated, according to a the results of a large multicentre study presented at the 28th Annual EAU Congress in Milan.
"Many clinicians regard small renal cell cancer as having a benign biologic behavior and non-operative surveillance protocols are often being used in patients with small renal tumours," write the authors in the findings. "The aim of this large retrospective multi-centre study was to evaluate the prevalence of locally advanced growth and distant metastases in patients with small renal cell carcinomas following surgery."
The investigation included 2197 patients with RCC of 4 cm or smaller in maximal tumour diameter and complete patient and tumour specific characteristics from six centers in Germany between 1990 and 2011.
The risk of presenting nodal disease or distant metastasis increased insignificantly with rising tumour diameter. After a mean follow-up of more than 5 years, the tumour-associated death rates were 6.5, 7.6, and 8.4 % in the ? 2 cm, 2-3 cm, and 3-4 cm tumour diameter subgroups, respectively. Kaplan-Meier 5-year cancer specific survival (CSS) rates did not differ significantly: 93.3, 92.1, and 92.8 %.
Patients with no lymphatic or distant metastasis at the time of diagnosis or surgery had a 5-year cancer specific death rate of 5.8 %. 5-year cancer related death rate was significantly higher among the 75 patients with nodal or distant involvement at the time of surgery (p<0.001).
In conclusion, the authors stress that lymph node and distant metastases occur even in small RCCs: "These results have significant implications since the rate of patients diagnosed with small renal masses is increasing and non-operative surveillance protocols are currently being used in patients with small renal tumour."

Fluorescence could indicate health of corals
Melissa Roth
Branching and table-top corals of the genus Acropora dominate coral reef ecosystems such as those pictured here from the Indo-Pacific.
By Andrea Thompson, OurAmazingPlanet
Corals are well-known for the brilliant colors they sport, but less well-known is the light, or fluorescence, that most coral species give off. Monitoring the levels of this fluorescence could be an easier way for scientists to monitor the health of coral reefs around the world, a new study finds, as these reefs are subjected to stress from climate change and other factors.
Coral fluorescence, produced by special fluorescent proteins, is a relatively poorly understood phenomenon, but researchers think it could help protect the coral from damaging sunlight, or possibly other forms of stress.
Marine biologists at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego monitored the levels of fluorescence and fluorescent proteins in a common branching coral from the Indo-Pacific region called Acropora yongei as the coral was subjected to both cold and heat stress. These stresses both affect corals in nature, with cold snaps sometimes killing corals, and global warming heating up the oceans overall.
Fluorescence levels from the coral in the study declined rapidly in response to both types of stress, initially, but the outcomes of the two tests eventually differed. The coral was able to adapt to the cold temperatures and their fluorescence levels rebounded, but the heat stress caused the corals to bleach, or lose the symbiotic algae that provides corals with the bulk of their nutrition.
Under the heat stress conditions, the fluorescence levels declined at first as they did under the cold stress, but the coral couldn't adapt and the algae were expelled from the corals, study researcher Melissa Roth, now at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and UC Berkeley, told OurAmazingPlanet in an email. When the bleaching happened, there was actually a spike in fluorescence caused by the fact that the algae had previously been shading the fluorescence and now no longer were.
"This is the first study to quantify fluorescence before, during and after stress," said Scripps researcher Dimitri Deheyn in a statement.
The results show that fluorescence can be a good marker of the health of corals. In fact, it could be an easier, less invasive method of monitoring corals than those currently used, including analyzing corals collected from reefs back in labs. Fluorescence can be monitored without disturbing the coral and directly at the reef site, and could indicate that the coral is in poor health before it bleaches. [Video: Humans Hit the Oceans Hard]
Roth said that the coral the study tested, Acropora yongei, would be a good one to monitor in the field because branching corals like it are "very susceptible to bleaching."
"It would make sense to monitor the corals on the reef that are most sensitive as an indicator for the reef as a whole," Roth said.
The findings were detailed in the March 12 issue of the journal Scientific Reports.

The Relationship Dynamics of Male vs. Female Friendships - Atlanta ...
Female friendships are notoriously intense. They can be as passionate as the most all-consuming love affair, as close as a family bond, as supportive as the best therapist, but as toxic as the worst poison.
Katie Couric?s talk show this week featured an episode on the life-sustaining power of female friendship. Ask a woman, including Couric herself, about her current best friend, her childhood friend turned adversary, or the friend that she lost touch with long ago, and you will stir up obvious and deep emotions. And, yes, you may even quickly get some tears. (Go on, ask Oprah about Gayle and see what happens.)
During the episode, Couric?s friendship expert, Shasta Nelson, described the five types of friendship that all women need to create a ?meaningful circle: contact, common, confirmed, community, and committed friends. These relationships exist on a continuum for women from the most casual friends to the deepest, most committed bonds.
My friend Stephanie and I have started a blogging project called HerStories: Tales of Friendship, and we?ve been asking women to share with us their stories about a friend who has shaped their lives. When we tell women, either in person or through email, they have responded passionately, even if they didn?t want to express their stories in writing. They can tell you in vivid detail about all the friendships that have changed their lives. And they don?t need much coaxing. I could be wrong, but I don?t think men would have quite the same visceral response to expressing all the ways that a friend has changed them.
As most men would likely agree, I think, male friendship is not the same. But are male friendships just different, or are they somehow inferior?
It?s not just many wives? or girlfriends? imaginations that their male partners are baffled by the high-maintenance nature of female friendship. There?s a reason for this, according to male friendship expert Geoffrey Greif and the research for his book, Buddy System: Understanding Male Friendship. Because men may perceive women?s relationships to be ?needy,? they prefer relationships to be based on shared activity, rather than verbal or emotional expression. In short, men prefer to ?do stuff? together. And women talk, cry, listen, and share more.
If friendships are based on a few important things ? reciprocity, self-disclosure, and intimacy ? men seem to have a little more trouble with the emotional intimacy and sharing that are critical to developing and sustaining friendships over time.
I?m often puzzled after my husband has phone conversations with his friends ? or even goes away for an entire ski weekend ? and then I press him about his friend?s relationship with his wife or girlfriend or about how his friend is coping with a new challenge. He?ll often say that what I perceive to be the most critical issue to talk about didn?t even come up in hours of ?prolonged conversation or during the course of an entire weekend.
My friend and blogging partner Stephanie described the gendered nature of friendship succinctly. She said, ?When women get together with friends, it is to ?plug in.? We prefer connecting emotionally with one another. When men get together with friends, it is to ?unplug.? They enjoy each other?s companionship without necessarily plugging into one another?s feelings or lives.?
But all that intense intimacy and expression can prove to be too much. Women shouldn?t be so quick to judge the seeming lack of emotional depth in male friendships. Maybe they have the right idea after all.

NFL player among 2 injured in Florida air balloon crash
A third passenger in the balloon was not injured.
Police responded to calls at around 10 a.m. about the basket of the hot air balloon crashing into the power lines while airborne.
The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating the crash with the help of Miami-Dade police, Detective Roy Rutland said.
Video from CNN affiliate WSVN showed the basket (where people stand) upright on a two-lane road, while the envelope (the balloon part) sat some distance nearby.
Stallworth suffered severe burns and is in stable condition at Miami's Kendall Regional Medical Center, said his attorney, Christopher Lyons.
The wide receiver was in the balloon with a female friend when the accident occurred, according to Lyons. The lawyer did not name the woman or detail her condition.
The third person was operating the balloon, according to local media reports.
The California native began his NFL career in 2002 with the New Orleans Saints and most recently played for the New England Patriots. His is currently a free agent.
Drew Rosenhaus, Stallworth's sports agent, said his client is "in good spirits."
"He was injured, but will be fine," said Rosenhaus, adding later that he hopes Stallworth is back playing "in a matter of weeks." "He will be able to resume his NFL career."
Beyond his on-field exploits -- from his time at the University of Tennessee to his years playing with the Saints, Patriots, Philadelphia Eagles, Cleveland Browns, Baltimore Ravens and Washington Redskins -- Stallworth is known for hitting and killing a construction worker crossing a street in Miami in 2009.
Under a plea agreement, Stallworth was sentenced to 30 days in jail for DUI manslaughter. He also reached an "amicable" settlement with the Reyes family, his lawyer, Lyons, said. The NFL also suspended him for one season.

Real estate: Habitat for Humanity plans Clovis homes | Clovis ...
Mar 15, 2013, 12:56pm
A Clovis subdivision where Habitat for Humanity Fresno County is building three houses will have 21 more homes in the future.
Housing officials from the city of Clovis and Fresno County shared the news during Habitat?s construction kick-off event last week at the Rialto Ranchos subdivision on Santa Ana Avenue.
The city and the county bought land on Santa Ana, between Peach and Villa avenues, over the last 10 years, said Andy Haussler, the city?s housing program manager. The land had old, decrepit homes on it that were built in the 1940s and 1950s, Haussler said.
Now, the neighborhood will get a new life.
?The chance for this neighborhood to have some new development and new homeowners is really a terrific boost to the whole area,? said Clovis Mayor Lynne Ashbeck.
Habitat will build the first three houses that range in size from 1,110 square feet to 1,248 square feet. No one has been chosen yet to build the remaining homes, Haussler said.
Tony Miranda, Habitat?s executive director, said the agency would like to build more homes in the development, but it?s too soon to tell whether that partnership will happen.
Parc Grove Commons in phase two
The Fresno Housing Authority is also getting ready to build affordable housing.
The authority has broken ground on the second phase of Parc Grove Commons, the 26-acre public housing development at Fresno Street and Clinton Avenue in central Fresno.
The plan is to build 148 one- to four-bedroom apartments with space for neighborhood gatherings and an 8,880-square-foot community building.
The first phase of Parc Grove Commons, which has 215 apartments, was completed in April 2011 with help from a $23.4 million donation from Wells Fargo bank and five other grants and private loans.
This time, Wells Fargo and the California Community Reinvestment Corporation, a multi-family affordable housing lender, are lending the authority $47 million to complete the second phase.
For more information about the new apartments, call (559) 222-3860.
