We The People, part of the Classroom Law Project, engages students of all ages in study of the institutions of American democracy, including the Bill of Rights and the U.S. Constitution. At the high school level, the program is called "Constitution Team."
The program culminates with the annual nationwide "We The People" competition. Nick was honored to judge Oregon's 2010 district competition this January. Six teams advanced to the state competition. Lincoln, winner at the state level, will represent Oregon at the national level this April.
Six Lincoln High School Constitution Team members have taken the program one step further, founding "Mission: Citizen," writes Kimberly Melton in the March 20 Oregonian. "They decided their training was just a preamble to the real world," she writes.
Last week, the program graduated its first participant when Laos native Chanhsouda Chanthakoun was naturalized as a U.S. citizen.
Said student Eugene Chung, "I think that the teaching is more rewarding than the learning."

Well they got the weather forecast right. Clear but chilly start to the day followed by higher temperatures and sunshine. We were getting 7.4 amps out of the solar panels until 3:45pm when the heavens opened and the hail crashed down beating a fierce pattern on the roof and punching holes in the canal. 15 minutes later it was raining! At least we are learning as this time we took Waiouru down to the water point just before lunch and filled the tank in bright sunshine!
The components for our automatic battery watering system have arrived from Brisbane, Australia. I continue to be bemused by the fact we have now purchased two items for the boat from Australia. If we'd realised we'd need them I'd have purchased the items before leaving and saved on postage!
There are four different components to the watering system.
Flow meter, end connector, battery caps(12) & floats and plastic tubing
There are two lengths of different diameter tubing. The larger diameter tubing connects the end connector to the flow meter whilst the smaller tubing links the battery caps to the flow meter.
End connector, flow meter, battery cap
The pressure is now on to drink the last of the Somerset cider so I can convert the 1 litre plastic container to a header tank! The plan is to fit the End Connector into a hole drilled/cut in the base of the plastic container. The Flow Meter has six small plastic beads inside it which obviously move around when distilled water is flowing to the battery caps. The Flow Meter has two output connections, each of which feeds six battery caps. The battery cap incorporate a float. When the level of the electrolyte in a cell drops the float will also drop allowing more distilled water to enter the cell. The floats are exactly the right height to ensure the electrolyte is maintained at the specified level. The cap also includes a vent which allows any gases in the cell to escape.
Time to start fitting the system……… Maybe tomorrow if the rain stops!

North to Cree Lake records true accounts of experiences in a land "where no tin cans, or bottles, or paper, or other man-made litter was to be found," and no "influx of tourists, or developers, or promoters, or sportsmen, or despoilers" had yet arrived.
From 1932 through the winter of 1939, the author and his brother, Ab, moved into Northern Saskatchewan to live where the Depression had little effect. They built several cabins, survived minus 70-degree temperatures, and lived off the land. They decided they could get what few supplies they needed by trapping, but they knew nothing about trapping. It was hoped that they could learn from experienced trappers, but they soon found that the men who knew the trade had no intentions of sharing their knowledge. Knowledge came through many trials and a lot of errors.
We have inherited a Hollywood-induced picture of the wilderness winter, but through the author's experiences, you get to share a lifestyle that had certainly changed little since Lewis and Clark. On the morning that the temperature dove 100-degrees below freezing, Karras described standing outside the cabin. When he exhaled, the moisture in his breath instantly froze in the air, creating a sound like a sheet of paper being slowly torn. You will find yourself being led on winter trapping trails, across frozen lakes, following caribou herds that had packed snow so hard that feet of snow could be traversed without the need of snowshoes. His accounts of wildlife encountered while walking the trap-lines gives great insight into the habits of wolves, deer, caribou, fox, bear, and others. As they build and use a dogsled team, you learn in detail what that entails. If you have read and enjoy books by Grey Fox, another wilderness writer, you'll enjoy this book.

Amid the resignation of Eric Shinseki as secretary of the Veterans Affairs Department Friday, mismanagement at the VA's network of hospitals and outpatient facilities has focused in part on months and months of wait times for veterans to see a doctor.
But even before the rollout of the Affordable Care Act to millions more patients with insurance coverage in what experts agree will worsen the doctor shortage, all Americans were waiting nearly three weeks to see a physician and in some markets a month or more.
A survey earlier this year by physician staffing and consulting firm Merritt
The longest wait to see a doctor was in Boston where the average wait was 45.5 days to schedule an appointment with a family physician, dermatologist, cardiologist, orthopedic surgeon or obstetrician/gynecologist. The survey came from a sampling late last year of nearly 1,400 medical offices across the country.
Though part of the problem comes as more Americans obtain health care benefits. It's also due to shortages in specific specialties like primary care doctors such as internists, pediatricians and family doctors that haven't been addressed effectively by policymakers.
Inside Obamacare: The Fix For America's Ailing Health Care System explores the ways the Affordable Care Act will affect your health care and is available for download now.
The survey showed that an average appointment for a family physician in the 15 metropolitan markets Merritt Hawkins evaluated took 19.5 days.
"As the example of Boston illustrates, access to health insurance does not always guarantee access to a physician," authors of the Merritt Hawkins report said. "In addition, the survey demonstrates that many if not most physicians in the 15 markets examined are not accepting Medicaid as a form of payment."
The report indicated that Congress needs to pay more attention to the physician shortage from enhanced payments to doctors to increased funds for doctors in training. The Medicare health insurance program for the elderly funds most residency programs and Congress hasn't increased funding for such doctor training in years.
"As millions of the previously uninsured obtain healthcare coverage through the ACA, ways will need to be found to ensure access to physicians through increases in the number of medical residency positions available nationwide, through the use of innovative staffing
models that redistribute some of the work previously handled by physicians to other clinicians, through equitable payments to physicians, through the use of online and mobile technology, and through other methods," the Merritt Hawkins report said.
Congress has seen the Merritt Hawkins report and it was part of a Senate hearing conducted by U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont in the last year. Here's a link to Sanders web page and his statements on the issue.
Wondering how Obamacare will affect the doctor shortage? ayour health care? The Forbes eBook Inside Obamacare: The Fix For America's Ailing Health Care System answers that question and more. Available now at Amazon and Apple.

In this episode, Katie and Berin talk about American ethnocentrism. They discuss why Americans (and some others) think that the definition of success means making it big in the United States. They also cover the notion that money and fame are considered the definition of success, not happiness, contentment, or job satisfaction.
This is the first of TWO episodes this week! In the second episode, available only to Coffee-Level Patreon backers, we talk about Donald Trump, and what his presidency says about American culture, creativity and critical thinking.

The Magic Numbers are warmer and cosier than a cat asleep on a radiator. But behind the matching fringes, shuffling guitars and brother-sister harmonies, 'Forever Lost' also has a real beating heart.
For all this song's gentle melancholy, it's played hard enough to make words like 'wistful' seem flouncy and inadequate. It's just too confident to be twee. They even get away with stealing the Phil Spector bayon rhythm (the posh term for the dum-de dum dum bit in the bridges) and make it sound like it was their idea in the first place.
If the mark of a great record is that you can cry to it and dance to it, then this must be one.

Autism is a lifelong neurological disability that affects a person's ability to communicate, understand language, play and socially interact with others.
The first signs of autism usually appear as developmental delays before age three. Autism is classified as a developmental disability because it interferes with the typical rate and patterns of childhood development and adversely affects a child's educational performance. People with autism range from extremely high to relatively low functioning, causing it to be known as a "spectrum disorder".
Criteria for the diagnosis of an autistic impairment consist of:
- Impairment in social interaction
- Impairment in communication
- Restricted, repetitive, stereotyped patterns of behavior
- Onset prior to age three
We are an approved provider for the treatment of autism spectrum disorder, Asperger's syndrome and developemental delay.
We treat all childhood conditions requiring physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy.
Max Well offers a caring and supportive staff who actively listen to you and your child's concerns, helping your child achieve his/her maximal potential.
We instruct in an individualized home exercise program for optimal carryover and incorporate a mulit-dimensional approach to assist your child.
In 2012, Lt. Governor Brian Calley signed a bill requiring insurance companies to pay for the treatment of children with ASD up to 18 years of age. Max Well Therapy, LLC is committed to providing your child with the most current and effective treatments available.
Every child with autism is different. However, individuals with autism may exhibit several common characteristics.
It is important to remember that although the following are some common characteristics, no two people with autism experience the world or react to it in the same way.
- Poorly developed social skills and unusual play with toys
- Difficulty in using and understanding language
- Over or under sensitivity to sound, sight, taste, touch, or smell
- Repetitive behaviors such as spinning objects or rocking
- Certain behaviors exhibited to stimulate the senses, such as switching a light on and off, self-talk/repeating phrases over and over, or humming loudly
- Difficulty with changes to surrounding s or routines
- Very high levels of activity for long periods of time
- Uneven skill development or "splinter skills"; some skills are normal or superior for their age while others show significant delay
- Challenging behaviors such as aggression, self-injury or severe withdrawal
- Problems with attention and resistance to change

Several years ago, Scott Williams helped clean up a mess in Hope Mills.
Now, he's trying to clean up another.
Williams is asking for help to clear Gilmont Cemetery of weeds, dead branches and other debris. The privately owned cemetery is off South Main Street near downtown.
Williams, who lives in Holly Ridge in Onslow County, has a deeply personal reason for initiating the cleanup - his wife of 25 years, Vicky Lynn, died March 24 and is buried in Gilmont.
Visiting the cemetery made Williams realize the amount of work that needs to be done.
"I've uncovered (grave markers) that are completely grown over. You'd never know they were there," Williams said. "It just kind of got out of hand."
Williams grew up in Hope Mills and Fayetteville. His mother, Carlene Jackson, still lives in Fayetteville.
Williams met his future wife through his cousins. They started dating in 1984 and were married in 1988. They celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary on Valentine's Day.
The couple had three children. Joey is 20, Rachel is 16 and Jacob is 6.
Vicky enjoyed painting, doing crafts and fishing. She loved reading the Bible.
A few years ago, Vicky Lynn was diagnosed with breast cancer. She fought bravely against the disease, undergoing grueling chemotherapy and other treatments.
"She took the worst chemo they had," Williams said. "It tears your immune system apart."
Vicky beat the cancer. But she struggled with the follow-up medications she was prescribed.
One of the medications caused breathing problems, which proved fatal for Vicky.
"Her throat swelled up and her lungs shut down," Williams said. "It looked like she was trying to gasp for breath in her sleep."
The family was devastated by Vicky's loss. The funeral was held March 29.
Williams said he knew Gilmont Cemetery was in need of maintenance. Other family members are buried there, and Williams would drive by on his visits to town.
But Vicky's funeral made it clear to Williams that he needed to do something. He enlisted help in clearing overgrown brush and other debris from the cemetery.
"A lot of people throw trash and cigarettes out as they drive down Hope Mills Road," Williams said. "It's just a shame."
Williams said he would like to plant trees and shrubs in the cemetery.
Williams said the community has been helpful. Members of Manna Church have shown up to help, and he said town officials have pitched in.
Still, more help is needed. Williams said he goes out to the cemetery most Saturdays and would welcome any assistance. Volunteers can call Williams at 910-232-4604.
Williams, who is a landscaper, is no stranger to this kind of work.
From 2007 to 2009, Williams led crews that twice cleared the Hope Mills Lake bed of trees that had grown up after an earthen dam failed in 2003.
A new dam was completed, and the lake was refilled. However, that dam failed in 2010 and the lake is again empty, with new trees sprouting all the time.
"We might be in there a third time, the way it looks," Williams said. "It's growing back fast."
But for now, Williams is focused on the cemetery project. It's one way of dealing with the loss of his beloved companion of nearly 30 years.
"It's kind of one day at a time," Williams said. "It's been kind of overwhelming. All in all, we're hanging in there."

Public Opinion and Public Policy
A fundamental principle of democratic government is that policy will be a function of opinion. There are accordingly large and growing bodies of literature focused on whether and the extent to which there is an opinion-policy connection. Do governments respond to, and do policies reflect, public opinion? Does the public respond to changes in policy? These are critical questions for those interested in the structure and value of public opinion, and in the nature and quality of representative democracy as well.
This course focuses on the reciprocal links between public opinion and public policy. The ten lectures fall into four themes: (1) we review normative and empirical political theory dealing with the role of public opinion in representative democracy; (2) we explore different approaches to empirically connecting public opinion to legislative behavior and/or policy outcomes; (3) we examine the extent to which public opinion is responsive and well-informed; (4) we review two of the (many) ways in which the strength of opinion-policy links may vary — across political institutions, and across individuals with varying levels of income. In a final class, students (as well as the instructor) have the option of presenting a research proposal for discussion by the class.
The course is intended to provide students with some of the critical tools — both theoretical and empirical — to understand and engage in research on public opinion and policy.
Course leader
Associate Professor Stuart N. Soroka
Target group
PhD students, postgraduate students
Course aim
To provide PhD research training at the highest level.
Fee info
NOK 3200: The tuition fee cover parts of the required reading material, lunch every course day, as well as some social arrangements.

Disposal of Medications
Medicines play an important role in treating certain conditions and diseases, but they must be taken with care. Unused portions of these medicines must be disposed of properly to avoid harm. Almost all medicines can be thrown away in the household trash after mixing them with some unpalatable substance (e.g., coffee grounds) and sealing them in a container.
However, certain medicines may be especially harmful and, in some cases, fatal in a single dose if they are used by someone other than the person the medicine was prescribed for.

the spirit you gave Saint Augustine.
Filled with this spirit,
may we thirst for you alone as the fountain of wisdom
and seek you as the source of eternal love.
We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever.

( www.rupeedesk.in )
Corporate earnings and outcome of the US Federal Open Market Committee's monetary
policy meeting will lend direction to domestic share indices next week, but on Monday
indices are set to witness a gap-up opening as China announced a cut in interest rates.
After Indian market hours, China announced that it had cut its one-year lending rate and
one-year deposit rate by 25 basis points, and reduced its reserve requirement ratio by 50
basis points to boost the economy.
Major European indices extended their intraday gains on the news and were up over 1-
3%. A near 1% rise in Dow futures indicates that the US market will also open on a
strong note later yesterday. Apart from these markets, prices of base metals on the
London Metal Exchange also advanced following China's move, which may boost stocks
of domestic metal and mining companies on Monday.
Yesterday, the Bank Nifty ended up 1.3% at 17934.05 points. Whether the gains in
indices sustain over the week will depend on corporate earnings and outcome of US
FOMC's monetary policy meeting on Wednesday. Given the earnings-heavy week and
expiry of the October derivatives series, also expect some volatility in the domestic
Rollovers will be closely watched this time around as the lot size for the Nifty is higher in
the November derivatives series. In August, the NSE had announced a revision of the lot
size of the CNX Nifty to 75 from 25 starting from the November contract.
Broadly, Nifty is seen moving in the 8200-8400 point range next week. Expect the index
to face stiff resistance between 8350 and 8400 points. Yesterday, share indices ended up
but off the two-month high it hit intraday on weakness in some telecommunication
companies' shares and select index heavyweights. The Nifty closed up 43.75 points or
0.5% at 8295.45 points and the Sensex ended up 183.15 points or 0.7% at 27470.81
In the coming week, Bharti Airtel, Housing Development Finance Corp, Lupin, Maruti
Suzuki India, Ambuja Cements, Dr Reddy's Laboratories, YES Bank, ICICI Bank, ITC,
Kotak Mahindra Bank and ICICI Bank will detail Jul-Sep earnings. On Monday, Asian
Paints may open down 2-3% as the company's Jul-Sep earnings, released after markethours yesterday, fell short of analysts' estimates.

So hows everyone going out there! Its been so so hot here and then so so cold! I've given up looking at the weather! When its warm I get out side to the waiting work and paint my little heart out and when it gets too cold out there I've been bringing it inside! That's commitment for ya!!
It's the summer holidays here in Australia so I've got my kidlets home, there sure have been some tense times as I've got a ten then nine and seven year old boys. Most of the time they get along reasonably well but when they decide to have a blow up I'm sure whoever is up in space right now can hear it! Its the physical side of the arguments that I get upset about : (
I've also had the chance these holidays to analyze the behavior of my youngest son, who I must say challenges me several times daily! There is some behavior which I just can't understand, like simple lies? He has a terrible habit of pulling clothes out of his draws and then just leaving them all over his room instead of trying to fold them up again and put them back where he found them so as a result he has been forbidden from going into his draws because I'm so sick and tired of the super mess!
Today was a classic example of the lying game. We went out this morning and it was cold so he did the right thing and asked me to get a jumper out of his draw for him which I did and then praised him for asking politely. When we had been home for some time I noticed that he had taken his jumper off so I asked him if he had folded the jumper up and put it on his bed or back into the draw? He told me that he had folded it onto his bed. Well tonight when I was putting him to bed I found the said jumper hidden behind the curtains!! I asked him about it an he just grinned and shrugged! I said to him that telling me a lie earlier was really disappointing and how was I to trust him if he continues to keep telling little lies? Not sure how much of it made any difference to him?
I'm sure I'm not the only mother out there who deals with this sort of stuff!
Lots of projects happening around my little home! I've got a couple of room makeover posts coming up which talk about decorating and keeping up with your personal style when you live in rental accommodation and live on a budget.
I'm completely addicted to Pinterest! So I'm going to leave you with a couple of my latest pins!
Well that's me for another day, I've got a list a mile long to work through but I'm taking regular tea breaks to enjoy the sun a bit now that its shining again!

The Secretariat's assessment of a Contracting Party's compliance with the Energy Community acquis goes beyond the mere adoption of primary legislation. In many cases, it is the adoption of secondary legislation that ensures actual implementation. As a newcomer to the Energy Community having acceded only in 2017, the majority of deadlines for the transposition of legal acts still lie ahead.
This page displays the national energy legislation that Georgia has adopted to comply with its Treaty obligations. For each key provision of the Energy Community acquis, the tables below provide the corresponding reference to the national legal act transposing that key provision if adopted and provides other relevant details, such as the state of play of compliance.

A serial shoplifter – with 75 previous offences under his belt – has been jailed for carrying out 18 thefts across Biggleswade and Sandy.
Ryan Collins, 22, carried out the string of thefts over a three-month period starting on February 7 this year.
On that occasion, Collins stole £45 worth of meat from the Co-op. The following day he went on to steal perfume from Boots and a charity box belonging to Subway.
After a day off, Collins' spree resumed on February 10 when he stole a drill worth nearly £90 from Homebase.
He also sneaked into a shop staff room the same day and stole a purse containing nearly £160 cash, as well as cigarettes and a lighter.
Other thefts across the Biggleswade and Sandy area included stealing alcohol, chocolate and a coffee mug.
One charge which Collins pleaded not guilty to was stealing a woman's handbag in Iceland in Market Square, Biggleswade, on May 6.
At a trial at Luton Magistrates' Court yesterday, Iceland manager Reece Merchant said: "I heard a commotion going on and people shouting, one of the till girls was shouting 'help'.
"I saw Ryan Collins, He had a wig on, I could clearly see his face. He's very well-known across Biggleswade."
The offender, described as having "long, Bob Marley-like" hair by the son of victim, was pursued by members of the public and the bag was returned to the owner with all contents in it.
Asked whether he had worn a disguise, Collins said: "It's not something I've ever thought of, I've not got a wig.
"I know that was not me, I don't know what [Merchant's] reason was for saying that. I've seen the CCTV and I know that man wasn't me."
At the conclusion of the trial, magistrates found Collins not guilty of the offence.
Collins' defence stated he had suffered from heroin addiction since the age of 13 and was trying to change his lifestyle. He apparently plans to leave the area and vows not to return to Biggleswade.
For the 18 other offences, Collins was given a 12 month prison sentence with a £100 victim surcharge. He will serve half the sentence before being released on licence.

It was raining and I had planned to go in the garden for an hour or so and wander around looking for unsuspecting animals or insects to offer to my camera sensor (it needs a lot of feeding you know).
So I waited indoors until the clouds had passed, and only then did I venture out. I didn't go far from the back door, not wishing to get my feet wet, but I spotted Sammy almost immediately and I think he spotted me too as he quickly adopted evasive manoeuvres.
I got a couple of shots from the back and one from the side as I rather liked the smart suit he was wearing, he's a bit of a trend setter in snail circles. But what I really wanted were the eyes. So I crept round to the front and got down low. I was so quick, he didn't have a chance, I focussed manually on the end of one of the stalks, and my camera gave that satisfying clicking sound it makes when it has found a tasty morsel.
So if it's true that the eyes are the mirror of the soul, then we can now see straight into the soul of the snail. It's kind of obvious when you look at the photo below... snails really do possess a soul, and what's more, you can tell that his soul is looking directly into yours.
Although the clouds had parted, it was still pretty dull out so I chose a reasonably high shutter speed of ISO 320 - fast enough to allow some leeway in my other settings but not so fast as to introduce too much digital noise.
With an F-number of 5.6, and a macro lens of focal length 100mm, I've successfully lost virtually everything in a blur except for Sammy's eyes, the most important part of the image. And a shutter speed of 1/200 second was quick enough to freeze the movement of even the fastest snail.

Correlation hint for SAPEVENTQUEUE values in SAP-Web protocol scripts
Replaying SAP-Web protocol scripts for SAP Web Dynpro ABAP applications may be difficult due to the nature of the dynamically calculated SAPEVENTQUEUE values used by this application. While not all SAP Web Dynpro ABAP business processes present correlation difficulties in some cases the manual correlation of SAPEVENTQUEUE values can be challenging due to the way these values are calculated.
SAP has introduced a parameter ('sap-wd-stableids=X') in patch SAPKB70106 that can be added to the URL of a SAP Web Dynpro ABAP application to enable stable IDs for a SAP Web Dynpro ABAP application. When this parameter is used, the Web Dynpro framework will generate stable IDs for most application scenarios and this workaround will help to make script development easier.
However even if this parameter is used there are still some business processes where stable IDs will not be used. This workaround needs a minimum of patch SAPKB70106 to be installed and it is not guaranteed to work in every situation. The patch is available from the SAP support site.

Album Review: Sing Pray Love Vol.1: Sing-Kelly Price
The release of Kelly "I'm Booked" Price's album damn near slipped past us, but luckily we discovered it had been released. After Kelly's self titled last album, she had a lot to live up to with this new release. We can play her last album from beginning to end without skipping a track. Judging from the title of this album there will be more installments to follow. This installment doesn't disappoint!
Kelly opens the album with the soul-stirring, Sing Pray Love Interlude, she took us to church with this interlude. She then slides into the lead single, It's My Time, which is an uptempo empowerment anthem that we love. The mid-temp0, Back 2 Love,features American Idol Ruben Studdard. Kelly and Ruben's voices compliment each other on this track we like this one, but it is not a favorite of ours. The 14th, is a ballad on which Kelly sings about the night before leaving a bad relationship, we don't hate it, but it is not our favorite.
Think Again(Shep's Sermon) is another slow jam, we absolutely love. When Kelly sings, "I'd rather be alone than sometimes smiling…" she took us in! This is one of our favorites off the album. Last Night, is another slow one on which Kelly has second thoughts about hurtful things she said to her man, and Kelly is begging and belting on this song. This is another one of our favorites. On the next track Kelly does something that we normally don't encourage. What? You ask, she covers Chaka Khan's Through The Fire, and we must say that she did a great job. It is hard to cover a Chaka Khan song, but if anybody should do it, we would choose Kelly!
Neva Been Scared, is a midtempo, we like it but it is not one of our favorites. Conversations with HER features Algebra Blessett, and if you didn't know we love Algebra! This song gives us Friend of Mind for 2014, both Kelly and Algebra shine on this song. This song is probably one of our favorites from the album, and the ending is EPIC, we won't give it away. Our Love, is another uptempo, we really didn't like this one too much. On, Metamorphosis, Kelly gives us a Nancy Wilson/Ella Fitzgerald kinda feel with this jazzy song, about changing and growing. We love this song, and it was a great way to close out the album.
Kelly Price always manages to deliver a solid body of work, she rarely lets us down when it come to her albums, and this one is no different. Her last album, Kelly, was a tough act to follow, but she did good with this album. Kelly is an artist that sings from her soul, and you can feel her pain and joy through her songs. If you're not giving your audience goose bumps when you sing you're not doing your job! If your songs don't make people say,"yes I can relate," you're not doing your job! If your songs don't make people feel good or get people through rough patches in life you're not doing your job! Kelly did her job with this album!
Final Rating 4/5
Whut say you?

GAO report cites government weaknesses, data leakage
Federal agencies continue to lack adequate access controls, encryption and risk assessments. Specialized security training was also weak, according to the report.
Weak security policies and practices in nearly all 24 major federal agencies in 2008 have resulted in exposing personally identifiable information of Americans, according to a new report from the Government Accountability Office (GAO).
To get security news and tips delivered to your inbox, click here to sign up for our free newsletter.
"An underlying reason for these weaknesses is that agencies have not fully implemented their information security programs," according to the GAO report, issued Monday. "As a result, agencies have limited assurance that controls are in place and operating as intended to protect their information resources, thereby leaving them vulnerable to attack or compromise."
Federal agencies have reported some progress, providing awareness training for employees and testing system contingency plans, the GAO said. Still, employees with significant security responsibilities are not getting enough security training and known vulnerabilities remain wide open.
The GAO conducts a periodic review of information security policies and procedures at federal agencies. Inspectors general review agency conformity to the Federal Information Security Management Act of 2002 (FISMA) and report their findings to Congress.
Federal cybersecurity:
Obama announces creation of cybersecurity coordinator position:
The president promised to treat critical infrastructure as a strategic national asset.
Group identifies top 20 security controls to thwart cyberattacks: Experts said the latest list could help government agencies address FISMA compliance by prioritizing cybersecurity initiatives to block the latest attack vectors.
Amit Yoran on DHS, federal cybersecurity: In this podcast, Amit Yoran, former cybersecurity czar at DHS and a veteran security pro, discusses the Obama admin's security priorities and why information sharing hasn't worked.
The number of security incidents reported by federal agencies to the United States Computer Emergency Readiness Team (US-CERT) rose over 200% over the past 3 years, increasing from 5,503 incidents reported in fiscal year 2006 to 16,843 incidents in fiscal year 2008.
Incidents continue in 2009, according to the report, as a wide range of issues have been reported to US-CERT involving data loss or theft, computer intrusions and privacy breaches. The three most prevalent types of incidents reported to US-CERT during fiscal years 2006 through 2008 were unauthorized access (gaining logical or physical access without permission to a federal agency's network, system, application, data or other resource), improper usage (violations of acceptable usage policies), and investigation (potentially malicious activity.)
Inadequate security policies played a large role in the incidents, according to the GAO. Twenty of the 24 agencies indicated that inadequate information security controls were either a material weakness or a significant deficiency. Inspectors general identified deficiencies in both financial and nonfinancial systems, including vulnerabilities in critical federal systems.
Agencies are also calling information security a "major management challenge," for their organization. The report cites ongoing weaknesses at the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Internal Revenue Service, the Los Alamos National Laboratory and the Department of Homeland Security. The agencies continue to struggle with inadequate access controls, configuration management issues to remove unauthorized software programs, segregation of duties, continuity of operations planning, and maintaining an adequate information security program.
For example, the SEC has not made progress on 16 vulnerabilities identified earlier this year. The agency hasn't been consistent in enforcing strong controls to authenticate users, and is not consistently encrypting network services or auditing its databases for unauthorized activity, the GAO said.
The GAO also took issue with The DHS U.S. Visitor and Immigrant Status Technology (US-VISIT) program, which continues to be plagued with ineffective security controls that could enable an unauthorized user to gain access and modify sensitive information.
Nearly half of information security control weaknesses pertained to access controls, according to the GAO review of reported incidents. Many agencies are also granting too many rights or permissions to users. In one agency, "1,100 users had access to mainframe system management utilities although such access was not necessarily required to perform their jobs." The permission gave them the ability to alter hardware configurations supporting the production environment.
Another agency gave a contractor full-system access, making the agency vulnerable to incidents on the contractor's network. Other agencies gave users of an application full access to its source code.
Inspectors general also identified a lack of specialized security training for personnel with critical IT responsibilities. The GAO tracked decreases in training over the last several years as agencies shifted focus on providing more general security awareness training to employees.
The latest GAO report also recommends stronger reporting instructions to give inspectors general a better view of contractor operations and specialized security training. It requests enhanced reporting instructions and urges the director of the Office of Management and Budget to take action on reviewing and approving agency information security programs.
Some progress is being made. In February, a group public and private sector security experts identified 20 security controls to help government agencies prioritize ways to address security deficiencies. The 20 important security controls provide specific audit guidelines used by the Federal government to ensure a minimum standard of security controls are in place for agency systems and their civilian contractors. Several agencies are currently pilot testing the guidelines.

Cut Copy, A-Trak and Flume will play the Palm Springs Festival.
The festival has found a growing audience, returning for a second act after its initial mid-June run. It will be held across three venues—The Hard Rock, The Saguaro Hotel and the Hacienda Cantina. Attendees will gain access to all of the poolside events, as well as after parties on Friday and Saturday. Transportation between venues will come via a free shuttle service.
Once again, the programming is focused on indie-leaning dance acts. Cut Copy and fellow Australians Jagwar Ma are scheduled to play live. In keeping with the antipodean bent, Flume will DJ, but the festival is also heavy on US acts, with A-Trak, Nosaj Thing and Chromeo among those scheduled to spin. Wooden Wisdom, the DJ duo of actor Elijah Wood and LA record collector Zach Cowie, will also make an appearance.

10-year Class Reunion
Back to the survey -- we took all the replies and typed them up individually, then had everything bound together in a spiral book, along with copies of things like the program from graduation, the Jr./Sr., a class roster, our Senior Prophecy list, a whatever-happened-to list, etc. We had also completed a short "favorites" survey the week we graduated, so we asked a lot of those same questions again and compared answers. Some of the answers my classmates wrote down were touching, and introspective, and told me a lot about them as people …. and a few were so funny I practically wet myself reading them. Of course, I wouldn't feel comfortable printing any of *their* answers, so you're stuck reading mine. That book is one of my favorite mementos of the entire weekend. Of course, considering the other memento I got was hives and diarrhea from the sheer nervousness and apprehension of seeing my old boyfriend again, you can understand why.
Here are the questions with my answers, just for fun. I do feel compelled to point out that this survey was done almost fifteen years ago --- BEFORE I had a computer (gasp, shock, outrage!) and BEFORE I had children. So my idea of "busy" and "fun" and "fulfilled" was way different than it is now. Not wrong …. Just different. Hope you enjoy reading!

My fantasy occupation: Lead tenor sax for Maynard Ferguson (Actually, this is still kind of true. Man, that guy could rock.)
If I knew I would not be caught, but I could make it happen, I would: Make all politicians and professional athletes give half their incomes to charity. (Um, not quite sure what kind of statement I was trying to make here …..)
My favorite high-school memories: 1) Band and Drill Team adventures, like the time I snagged Jimmy P's trombone slide with my pom-pom and flung it into the football stands during a half-time performance, 2) Sonic (see??? Even back then!!), hanging out at the well-house, and doing things like "stickering" Louis' car (another way of saying "getting drunk and being obnoxious without ever getting into serious trouble.) 3) Friends, guys, the places we went, the things we did, etc.

I set my VCR to record: Northern Exposure, Seinfield, and anything with DB Sweeney in it.
The one thing I like most about myself: My husband, even if he did get stuck in Alabama during this reunion.
The one thing I would most like to change about myself: My complete and utter lack of patience, and I want to change it NOW!!! (Hmmm. Some things never change.)
My pet peeve: When people sit behind me in the movie theater or on an airplane and kick the back of my seat. (Actually, this list is so long, I think the line-limit on a single Blogger post prohibits me from telling you all of them.)
My most prized possessions: My photo albums, scrapbooks, and family pictures
If I was told I only had 24 hours to live, I would: Quickly find another doctor
I am happiest when I'm: Eating chocolate-almond ice cream.
My biggest fear: Came true in the 1992 Presidential Election.
1984 Prophecy: Will be working in public relations for Adam Ant
Class Awards: Best Personality, Biggest Flirt, Most Talkative … (They drew a picture of me, facing a brick wall, with words coming out of my mouth ….. how rude!)
My Goal for the next ten years: (1984) Trying not to look almost 30
My Goal for the next ten years: (1994) To study a second language, take piano lessons, and decide what I want to be when I grow up! (Geez I'm a loser. I've done none of those things.)
Then we gave everyone the chance to write a personal summary about themselves since high school. Most people wrote a little about college, where they had lived, and if they had married, had kids, worked, etc. Honestly, I am a complete nosy-parker, so they were very interesting to me and I loved the chance to catch up with classmates this way.
Anyway, hopefully that might be helpful to some of you currently planning a reunion and looking for ideas. I just got a call tonight letting me know our reunion committee is having our first meeting to brainstorm for our reunion next summer ---- our 25th!
Holy cow, I'm old. Does anyone know how much Botox costs? Or lipo? Or transplanting my head onto Jessica Alba's body???

Thanks for posting that! Our reunion is August 2nd, so I don't have time to send it out, but we do have a web site set up, so I could post it on there. I has been interesting reading people's profiles and seeing their pictures. One and a half weeks to get ready!

I love your blog - and the questions made me think and remember. Got to ask, did you take your daughter to see Mama Mia? My sides ache with laughing and my best bud had to use her inhaler. If Meryl doesn't get an oscar there's no justice. Hope Blaine's scan was good. X

"festive".... bwaaa haa haaa... I'm sorry, but my imagination just takes over on that one! The rest of it is a lot better than I would do! I just missed my 30th (THIRTIETH) high school reunion, so I really have no room to laugh at anyone right about now. Shuffling away to drink some prune juice and look for some Depends...

I just stumbled across your blog from I have no idea where, but I am adding it to my favorites. You are hysterical. (and no older than I, ok just a weeee bit but not much....) Your post has me howling and visiting all those places in the 80s I was not so sure I wanted to see again!

So with your Kansas connection and DB Sweeny passion, did you watch Jericho when it was on TV? DB had an awesome role as a seriously bad dude and played it to the hilt. If you haven't seen it, it's worth tracking down the season one and two DVD sets. CBS was stupid and canned one of the most inventive and well-written shows around.
KC Masterpiece is pretty good, but if you ever get back up to KC, try a dive called Wyandot BBQ. It's one of those little, run-down places that probably changes the fry oil at every presidential election, which as you know, makes for AWESOME fries! The Mighty Hunter and I used to live in the Overland Park area--back when we had free time and money to eat out!

Love the answers and questions. My class is having their 25th and I can't make it...bummer. I refuse to miss our 30th. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.
We are alike in so many WEIRD ways!
I cant stand to step in anything wet with socks on and if I do I stop right there in my tracks with out taking another step to take them off. I dont like feet either. Especially when they touch me. Other peoples feet are just gross!

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE... DO NOT MESS WITH JESSICA ALBA'S BODY!!! IT IS FINE JUST HOW IT IS (or how it will be soon, considering she just gave birth...I assume it will be like it was a year ago before she got pregnant, in no time flat!)
Also, KC is for sure in my top 3 for restaurants I've eaten at!!!

The dynamic IP address assigned to my residential account has an incorrect geolocation over 50% of the time. This presents issues when trying to use any streaming service that relies on the geolocation to determine local content. I'm aware of how to release the IP address and restart the modem in hopes of getting a more accurate address, but this would need to be done every time the IP address changes. Is there any way to ensure that I receive a accurate location with my dynamically assigned geolocation?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Nope.. Geolocation does not exist on TWC, they removed it several years ago rather than keep up the database.. All IP's come up as located in Virginia , or wherever they were 5 years ago, many being hundreds of miles off.
TWC does not use any shortest or best path routing, it all gets funnelled down a "pipeline" to 4 or 5 exit points accross the country.
Some locations aren't bad, mines only 25 miles off
Wrong city, county.. Many customers are shown in the wrong states.
Your public IP will only change when you change your modem. Don't lose any sleep over geo-location not being accurate. It does make it harder for the bad guys to look you up and find your assets or family members.
Also suggest to your treaming provider that they add a screen to enter your ZIP Code like the unwanted ad spammers do. That's far more reliable than geo-location, especially when you are in TWC territory.

In grade five, I moved for the first time. My best friend and I cried. We exchanged addresses and promised to write. We exchanged numbers and promised to call.
I spoke to her once since then. Years later (2007), I looked her up on facebook and we caught up. We never went back to being best friends. I check in on her life through photos, but we lack the desire to stay in touch.
When I was in grade nine, I had another best friend. We immediately clicked. We disliked everyone, watched the same reruns, and had similar goals.
Within two years, she made different friends, and I don't really remember specifics. I was probably unhappy sharing my best friend, and we stopped speaking. I deleted her from social media, because I burn my bridges like a job.
Anyway, I've since seen her at my previous job, but I've changed and I treated her like any other customer: with a smile. I conveniently covered my name tag just in case she recognized me. I had (have) zero desire to rekindle a friendship.
These are examples of the first times I felt loss. I felt disconnected. I only tried to keep in touch with my neighbor, but even that proved futile. Sometimes you realize you're only friends with people because you see them every day.
Since then, I've had many people enter and leave my life—more than I care to count.
Few people have ever stung when they left, though. I can count them on one hand (and a plethora of wasted wishes).
My struggle has always been with fate—with timing.
My pastor said that hindsight is 20/20. You can't see what you're learning until you're past it. Sometimes not until you're way past it.
There's only been one friend that I ever missed. I'll never forget how angry I felt when the friendship imploded. "We were supposed to be friends forever."
How childish, right?
Long story short, she's in my life now, and I'm thankful.
All of my friendships have been replaced by different people. I wrote about this concept before, and everyone that meant something to me then (save for one) is still in my life.
I have a small addition to my list, but they are deeply respected, and I'm thankful for them.
I guess what I'm trying to say is that I shouldn't focus so hard on things I can't control. I can't control what mistakes someone else will make. I can't control whether someone will decide to enter or leave my life.
I grip so hard when I care. It's taken me so long to figure out what I want, so when I feel like something is jeopardizing that, I grip harder.
There's this quote I read, though (I love words), and it said something about the harder you hold on to something, the quicker it slips through your hands—like sand.
For example, my loving dog loves me. Mogli loves wrapping himself around me. He loves curling up at my neck. He loves falling asleep in my arms or across my stomach.
He loves doing it of his own accord.
There are times when I just want to hug him, though. I pull him closer, and he pulls away. No matter how hard I try, he doesn't want to be held.
Similarly, I can't hold on to something that doesn't want to be held. I learned this over ten years ago.
My point is: the things that are meant to be in my life will find a way.
I should trust the timing of my life.
There's almost a guarantee that what I currently want, I'll never have. There's also a guarantee that what I'll someday have will be infinitely better for me than anything I can fathom now (provided I keep working hard).
While a part of me laments over the things I can't have, another part of me rejoices.
The people I've replaced so far—people I thought (at the time) were okay people (yes, not great, just good enough) were replaced by amazing people.
I could list the people who matter to me most and they would knock anyone pre 2009 out of the park (save for one I met in 04—she's in the list). The people pre 2009 don't even exist anymore.
I may not always trust why things happen, but I do trust the timing of my life. I trust karma. I trust the universe. I trust God.
And I trust people.
I think you get what you put in, and it's not right away, and it's not always from the person you do it for, but you get back what you put in tenfold.
I just hope everyone realizes this, and lives their lives accordingly.
I would hate to hear bad news about someone that once mattered because of poor character or choices.

"Tacit qui consentire videtur" is the legal principle of "silence implies consent." When the law is silent on a matter, the law considers the matter legal since the law does not prohibit the action. In many respects this principle is applicable when it comes to the subject of assisted reproductive technology and the law. Many refer to it as the "wild west" precisely because there is so little regulation and, seemingly, anything goes. Examples range from cases like the "Octomom" from 2008 to the October 2017 surrogacy and custody case the US Supreme Court refused to hear. As a result, the assisted reproductive technology field is ripe with problems that are becoming more apparent with each passing year.
One such abuse could really be called a form of human gamete trafficking; specifically the exploitation of young women as farms for human eggs. Yet little is heard about this exploitation and, seemingly, many of the organizations that should be handling such topics are eerily quiet. Consider the following statement from the Center for Bioethics and Culture Network, "In addition, those seeking eggs often target young women at elite universities with high SAT scores, good looks, athletic and artistic talents, and preferred ethnic/racial backgrounds. When eggs are sought for stem cell research, the floodgates open to exploitation of low income and poor women, largely from communities of color. Competition for human eggs is a reality while awareness of or concern for the young women supplying them is generally nonexistent." In addition to this, one must also understand the coercion that is taking place as well. In some cases, as the Center for Bioethics and Culture Network further reports, a woman can receive anywhere from $5,000 to $100,000 per extraction. For those low-income women or those who owe college debt, this must seem like a goldmine, not only to mention that many women who have their own eggs harvested believe they are giving these eggs for altruistic reasons by helping an infertile couple.
This is a highly invasive process and there are many risks that can result. Firstly, it begins with the injection of hormones that cause superovulation. This is a process where the ovaries release many more eggs (it can be over a dozen) than the average one or two per month. This, of course, can put tremendous stress on the ovaries. According to the Center for Bioethics and Culture Network the known physical risks include "ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS), loss of fertility, ovarian torsion, blood clots, kidney disease, premature menopause, ovarian cysts, chronic pelvic pain, stroke, reproductive cancers, and in some cases, death." In essence, the egg provider might suffer from some serious consequences if she undergoes the process.
Not surprisingly, little information is given to women who need to know the risks of this procedure since there is a conflict of interest between the egg provider and the company that receives the eggs. Because of this dilemma one can see the moral need for informed consent legislation. Much like the abortion industry, it would seem that those in the assisted reproductive technology industry do not want to give women the necessary facts in order to give informed consent. Nor does it seem that a waiting period is mandatory for the women to consider the associated risks. This, of course, is a problem.
While, at bare minimum, women should be given information on the risks associated with the procedure, there should be other considerations within a proper informed consent bill as well. At present, Americans United for Life offers model legislation to address this dilemma called The Egg Provider Protection Act. If enacted, it would mandate that women be informed of all the known risks, the potential for eggs to be used for human cloning, and the potential her eggs may be used for destructive embryonic research. This bill is certainly a step toward a Culture of Life since it not only gives the women needed information, but it also gives her the knowledge that this industry is associated with the Culture of Death. With this knowledge, the woman will hopefully choose what is in favor for the Culture of Life.
While The Egg Provider Protection Act is a good first step, there are some notable absences within the bill. In addition to receiving the information listed above, women should also be informed about how it is possible that their biological children could be subject to selective reduction, an abortion procedure done in order to reduce the number of unborn children within a pregnant mother. There can be little doubt that some egg providers would have a moral problem with abortion. Furthermore, it would seem reasonable if the woman who is providing the eggs have a mandatory waiting period in order to properly digest the information she has been given. When it comes to informed consent and abortion, the waiting period is a necessary part of such legislation. And typically the minimum wait time is recommended to be at least 24 hours prior to the abortion procedure. This seems to be a reasonable amount of time as well for the egg provider considering that there are very clear risks and potential consequences she must face when undergoing this drawn out process.
But the fundamental question is this, how does such incremental legislation like The Egg Provider Protection Act help promote a Culture of Life? It clearly does not ban the providing of human eggs for assisted reproduction, nor does it ban in vitro fertilization or surrogacy. So how exactly will it accomplish such a task? While typically used to address the morality of incrementally passing legislation that chips away at the legality of abortion, the principle of incrementalism can also be used in this case as well. For the uninitiated, the principle may be found in St. Pope John Paul II's encyclical, Evangelium Vitae (no. 73). Firstly, it should be noted that as it was stated in the beginning of this article, when it comes to the legality of assisted reproduction there is little regulation. As a result, these sorts of actions can take place. In this particular instance the evil law that is in effect is the permissiveness because of the silence of the law. The law's tacit approval allows the evil to take place. But how is the harm limited? As explained above, the previously uninformed woman can now be informed and make a decision based upon all relevant facts. Furthermore, the law, as a great teacher, begins to show the need to treat women with dignity; that they are greater than the sum of their parts. As it stands now, women who are given little information are merely seen as a commodity that can be potentially harvested for wanted genetic material. But interestingly enough, it can also have the potential to show just how problematic the assisted reproductive technology industry is; that it is an industry associated with the Culture of Death in many ways. For many Christians, it can show just how important the conjugal act and the beginning of life should be within the confines of marriage as well.
It is this final point that is most intriguing. The assisted reproductive technology industry does much to exploit women beyond harvesting eggs. Surrogacy is also an issue where women are merely seen as "wombs for rent". At times they are forced to abort one or more of the children they are carrying because of the whims of the contractual parents without respect to what could happen to her physically, psychologically, or spiritually. Children become commodities as well in this industry. If they are not perfect, they can be destroyed. Or if the parents do not want them they can be abandoned to the surrogate. It is obvious that an industry which treats human beings as commodities is not a part of the Culture of Life. It is time to stop these travesties of justice and The Egg Provider Protection Act is great step forward.

As Good as Gone by Larry Watson
Calvin Sidey all but abandoned his family after his wife died, not being able to handle his grief and raising small children. Retreating to a solitary life on the range putting in fence posts and herding cattle, Calvin is content with his life as a loner. Decades later his son David needs him. He asks Calvin to come to the house and watch his grandchildren while David takes his wife to Missoula for an operation. Calvin, surprising both himself and David, agrees. Calvin thinks babysitting a teen and tween is going to be easy, but Calvin is not one to sit idly by when he sees trouble brewing. The problem is that Calvin is a relic of the west and his way of fixing problems isn't really acceptable in the modern age of the 1960s.
This book reminded me of a cross between Clint Eastwood as The Man With No Name and Clint Eastwood in El Camino. Strangely enough the picture of the grandfather in my head was not of Mr. Eastwood but a character actor I can't place no matter how hard I try. Calvin isn't exactly likeable, but he is relatable. You get under his skin and understand his actions, as much as you may not agree with the ways he attempts to solve his problems.
After reading and listening to a few lyrically written, and lengthy, books it was a shock to the system to read the spare no-nonsense writing style of this author. Don't get me wrong, this is great writing with some wonderful descriptions, but the author conveys Calvin, a man of very few words, even in the style and tone of the entire work. Western fans will find a modern tale worth reading in this one.
