Afghanistan: A View from the Ground opens with some surprising things she found including a children's circus, women drivers, women studying Taekwando and basketball with male instructors and more. Scenes and stories from Kabul City, Herat and Bamiyan city and province (where the Buddhas were blown up) give one a feel for life in these different places. Again, the presentation will share the stories of women Peggy met, this time including refugees, business women, parliamentarians, Afghan expats who've returned, a defense lawyer and youth among others. There will also be updates on a few of the women interviewed previously. Maps and aerial shots give one a sense of place and geography. This presentation is an eye-opening and stereotype-breaking introduction to the current situation in Afghanistan. One hour and half hour formats available
Gathering Strength: Conversations with Afghan Women focuses on women in the book of the same name. Each of the women presented brings to light some of the issues Afghan women (and men) face. Peggy shares background information on some of the women that is not printed. Available in 20 minute, half hour and one hour formats
Human Rights in Afghanistan shares the stories of women as they relate to various women's and human rights issues. Peggy shares interviews with a women's defense lawyer, women prisoners, human rights professionals and parliamentarians among others.

This presentation can be given in either half hour, 45 minute or one hour formats.
Patience, Persistence, Perspective and not Just a Little Pluck is a show that chronicles Peggy's journey creating and carrying out the Afghan Women's Project.

But while the new governors dismantle Daala's draconian regime, forces still loyal to the deposed official are mobilizing a counterstrike.

text: German artist Katrin Korfmann sure has an eye for colour. Flying high above the Hindu ritual known as Holi, Korfmann captured the famous event that sees thousands of people throw coloured powder and perfumes at each other. The images (Red, Yellow and Purple) change in hue as the festival goes on – different powders, different colours. What a beautiful way to welcome spring.

Will wordpress.com allow users to put up (text)ads any time soon?
I would even be willing to pay a annual fee for wordpress.com allowing to add ads.
Or does such a thing already exists (not the vip accounts!).
WordPress.com is an easy way to start blogging. Get a blog, check out our features, read the latest announcements, choose from great themes, or learn about the team behind it.
Need help? Check out our Support site, then
Will wordpress.com allow users to put up (text)ads any time soon?
I would even be willing to pay a annual fee for wordpress.com allowing to add ads.
Or does such a thing already exists (not the vip accounts!).
Until it is announced in the official wordpress.com blog, I don't think any of us will ever know for sure ;)
I think you can do this, if you are a VIP blog and you get VIP status by paying more, etc.
You can. That costs several hundred dollars to set up and I think $250 per month.
I really wouldn't hold my breath on the ad upgrade being available any time soon.
If you have a WP blog on an independent host, however, you can put any ads you want on there. I met a guy who makes $300,000 a year from his blog. But he is absolutely the stereotypical greedy asshole type, so beware of your company in that environment.
today i was thinking about the ads on blogs and how ppl can make money out of it
this is not possible on wp?? well as i see from your replies it's not unless we pay to have it:S
so bad
well, my first blog is on wp so i don't know about other blogs, but is it possible to add ads without paying on other blogs (blogger, blogspot..)???
You can do it on blogger/blogspot. In fact, blogger/blogspot is owned by Google, so adding AdSense there should be pretty easy.
Blogger and blogspot are the same thing, and yes, you can have ads on them. It's possible on an independently-hosted WordPress blog as well.
As a blogger who makes a living from advertising, however, I will tell you that unless you're getting over 500 pageviews a day it is probably not really worth it. And this is just my aesthetic opinion but Google Adsense immediately tells the world you're penny ante and cheap.
how must does the independently hosted wp blog cost?? is it the one at 30$/year??
my blog started like 4 days ago and am having around 100visitor/day
so if i can make it more popular to get more visitors , it would be interesting to have ads that can make me make money
It depends who you get to host it.
is't wordpress who host our blog if we pay a certain sum of money/year?
i thought we can pay like 30$/year and they give us a domain name without wp in it and host it for us
or are those 2 different things?
if you have wordpress.com as your host, even with your own domain, you cannot have ads. You have to have a separate host and then download and install the wordpress software in order to have ads.
Google ads are useless unless you get thousands of visitors a day. Most make more money by seeking out individual sponsors.
Getting a domain name or ANY other upgrade doesn't allow you to run ads. The only upgrade that allows you to run ads is the VIP upgrade which costs thousands of dollars a year.

Predictions for the EPL
- Rafa Benítez, the sweet Spaniard everyone loves to hate, will be fired as Liverpool manager sometime after the first of the year, when it becomes obvious even to the Americans running the club that his system and the players he's chosen will not win anything. You're lucky you're at Liverpool, Rafa. Roman Abramovich would have gotten rid of you years ago. The really unforgivable thing is your system is boring, boring, boring.
- The bookmakers have got it right. Chelsea will win the league, but if and only if Drogba remains healthy.
- Wayne Rooney will finally have a 20-goal season. Even so, Man U will be forced to find a proven goal scorer from abroad, because Berbatov, even though he has exquisite touch and is working his ass off this year, can't seem to find the net. Where is Robbie Keane when you need him? Oh I know. Back at Tottenham.
- Clint Dempsey, though an oddly awkward looking American footballer, will continue his scoring ways, perhaps with a team other than Fulham.
- Everton will finish in the bottom half of the table. Anyone who saw them play the U.S. All-Stars will know why. By the way, so will Aston Villa.
- There is a 99.9 percent probability that Burnley F.C. will go down. It's sad, of course, but even Hull and Stoke can crush them. Nevertheless, or perhaps because of this, Burnley's chairman, Barry Kilby, will be voted sweetest old guy in England.
- Not a single English referee will be suspended this year for gross negligence, even more than a few of them will be guilty of it.

This upper body workout combines high-rep, low-weight exercises with low(er)-rep, high(er) weight exercises for a taste of both endurance and strength (the two aren't mutually exclusive). While I think the upper body moves you do in barre and spin classes with the 2-lb weights are challenging, I also think you need to be doing some form of strength training with heavier weights as well. And that could look like a lot of things! It might mean super heavy olympic lifting, but it also might mean dumbbells, kettlebells, med balls and even bodyweight exercises (push ups, pull ups, etc.).
If you need to do 100 reps of something to feel fatigued, that's an exercise in muscular endurance and you're definitely achieving a burn-out, but it's not as effective at building strength. Any time Joe and I do a spin class together, for example, he dies during the arm song with the 2-lb weights and high rep numbers and has to drop his arms several times (sorry, calling you out, Joe!! haha) while I bang through it fairly easily. Does that mean I'm stronger than Joe? LOLLOLLOL
No. Not even close.
So for this workout, you'll use a set of light weights for a series of small, high-rep exercises, and once the burnout is achieved, you'll switch to heavier weights to target the same muscle group.
Endurance + Strength Arm Workout (Biceps + Triceps)
Equipment I Used:
- Light hand weights (2-5lbs) — I'm using 2 lbs, which was PLENTY heavy for the triceps section but I probably could have done 3-4 lbs for the biceps. If you have access to multiple hand weights, go a pound or two heavier for the bis than tris.
- Medium-heavy dumbbells (8-20lbs) — I'm using a pair of 10-lb dumbbells. My upper body isn't very strong so I'm setting the suggested weight on these pretty wide.
Explanations of the exercises below the pictorial.
Biceps – ENDURANCE
LIGHT WEIGHTS | 20 seconds each x3 without rest
- Biceps Curl (elbows lifted) | Keeping the elbows lifted at armpit-shoulder height, curl the weights into your shoulders and then extend the arms back out straight. Keep these quick but tight–really squeeze as you curl in and out. With the elbows lifted like this, you'll feel your shoulders burn a bit as well. Expect the first round of these to feel fairly easy (it'll build by the end of the three minutes, I promise!).
- Biceps Extended Pulse | Hold the arms extended at chest height, palms up, soft bend to the elbows. Pulse the arms up an inch or two and down.
- Biceps Extended Circle Taps | Arms still extended, palms up, soft bend to elbows, squeeze the weights and hit them together forming a small circle with the weights (hit high, hit low). Really slam the things together to ensure you're squeezing your arms tight.
Biceps – STRENGTH
HEAVY WEIGHTS | 30 seconds work / 10 seconds rest x9 (three times through the exercises)
- Biceps Curls | Start standing, one dumbbell in each hand, arms down by your sides with the palms facing in. From here, curl the weights up to your shoulders, rotating as you curl so that palms face your body at the top of the curl. If you need to modify, do one at a time.
- Hammer Curls | Same as above except no rotation: palms face in towards each other the entire range of motion.
- Circle Curls | Start standing holding a weight in each hand, palms facing front. From this starting position, curl the weights up and over to the right in a circular shape. At the top of the contraction, weights will be up at your chest (12 o'clock if we're thinking of the motion as hands on a clock. From there, slowly lower the weights down and over the left, ending back in your starting position. Every time your hands reach this point (6 o'clock), you'll switch directions so that the next circular curl is up and over to the left, down and over to the right. Forearms should stay parallel to each other as you do this; elbows stay locked in tight by your bottom ribs.
Triceps – ENDURANCE
LIGHT WEIGHTS | 20 seconds each x3 without rest
For all three of these exercises, you're standing with your torso hinged forward (flat back, butt back, knees slightly bent). Arms are extended behind you.
- Straight Arm Lifts (palms up) | Keeping the arms straight and as high behind you as you can, pulse them up and down.
- Triceps Taps (palms up) | Keeping the arms lifted behind you (higher than your back), hit them together squeezing your arms in towards each other.
- Bend-Stretch (palms in) | Rotate your thumbs down, palms facing each other. From here softly bend the elbows and then squeeze the arms straight again (bend and stretch). You really need to squeeze the arms as straight as possible–you'll feel a big burn from this tiny pulsing movement.
Triceps – STRENGTH
HEAVY WEIGHTS | 30 seconds work / 10 seconds rest x9 (three times through the exercises)
- Overhead Triceps Extension | Start with a dumbbell in each hand, arms overhead, palms facing in and dumbbells held together (press them into each other). From this starting position, bend the elbows as you lower your hands and weights behind your head. Contract the triceps to then extend the weights back up overhead to starting position. As you do this exercises, hold the upper arms in towards the side of your head; elbows shouldn't bow out to the sides in a diamond shape. To modify, just use one weight in both hands.
- Triceps Kickbacks | Hinge your torso forward and row your elbows back–this is your starting position. From here, kick your weights back, straightening the arms behind you. Bend at the elbows to return to starting position. To modify, alternate arms.
- Single-Weight Lifts | Essentially the same movement from the endurance section but using a heavy weight. Hold a dumbbell behind your back with one end in each hand. Leaning forward with your torso (flat back) start with the weight resting on your bum and lift it a few inches up into the air before tapping it back down.
- Lustrous High Rise leggings by KORAL ACTIVEWEAR c/o Shopbop | These have a great faux leather look and you can totally wear them outside workouts, too–I love 'em!
- New Balance x J.Crew tank c/o NB | The collaboration between NB and J. Crew produced some seriously cute gear–have you guys seen the collection??
- Champion Absolute sports bra | This is a good inexpensive medium-support bra that I find myself wearing all the time for low(er) impact workouts and lounging around the apartment.
I filmed this workout yesterday and my arms are definitely feeling it this morning (holy biceps)! Let me know what you think in the comments if you give it a try. And don't forget to subscribe to my YouTube channel. I really enjoyed this format and am thinking of doing another like it focusing on shoulders–thoughts? 🙂

5 p.m. Saturday, April 28, at Larry Edmunds Bookshop, 6644 Hollywood Blvd.
Noir historians Alain Silver and James Ursini will discuss and sign their book "Film Noir: The Directors" (Limelight Editions, $24.99).
A number of authors have contributed to this work and there are chapters on: Robert Aldrich, John Brahm, Jules Dassin, André de Toth, Edward Dmytryk, John Farrow, Felix Feist, Sam Fuller, Henry Hathaway, Alfred Hitchcock, John Huston, Fritz Lang, Joseph H. Lewis, Joseph Losey, Ida Lupino, Anthony Mann, Max Ophuls, Gerd Oswald, Otto Preminger, Nicholas Ray, Don Siegel, Robert Siodmak, Jacques Tourneur, Edgar G. Ulmer, Raoul Walsh, Orson Welles, Billy Wilder and Robert Wise. The book also features more than 500 photographs.
Given the inclusion of Ophuls ("Letter from an Unknown Woman"), it seems really odd that Howard Hawks, Richard Fleischer and Stanley Kubrick were excluded. That's one for the Q&A with the authors.
6:30 p.m. Saturday, April 28, at the Egyptian Theatre, 6712 Hollywood Blvd.
Actress Julie Adams who will sign "Reflections from the Black Lagoon" (Hollywood Adventures, $29.95) in the lobby prior to that evening's Noir City Hollywood double bill of "Slaughter on Tenth Avenue" (in which she stars) and "Edge of the City." There will be a Q&A with Adams, 85, between the films.
6 -11 p.m. Monday, April 30, at Musso & Frank Grill, 6667 Hollywood Blvd.
The Los Angeles Visionaries Association and Esotouric Tours are hosting a literary salon featuring author John Buntin and his 2009 book, "L.A. Noir: The Struggle for the Soul of America's Most Seductive City" (Price varies by format, starting at about $10).
Buntin's book interweaves two stories, that of gangster Mickey Cohen and police chief William Parker. Tickets to the salon are $100 and include a three-course meal. TNT is developing a new series based on this book.
Additionally, I just got my review copy of "Mickey Cohen: The Life and Crimes of L.A.'s Most Notorious Mobster" by Tere Tereba (ECW Press, $16.95). Looking forward to reading this and interviewing the author.


text: Well I am starting to work on updating "Naves". I am trying to track down the source. I mentioned earlier that I found a copy of naves.zip at http://aibi.gospelcom.net/downloads/naves.zip. But bf.org no longer has any e-texts posted. I searched the Internet and all references to naves was to one or the other of these. I took a close look at it and also at the naves module (using mod2imp). The one at gospelcom.net looks to be an older copy (has the phone for the Bible Foundation BBS while the module has the website address). There are some other differences. While I have not gone over it line by line, it appears that the Sword module has additions and corrections. I have sent bf.org an e-mail requesting the zip, if they still have it. I also called Mark Fuller, whose name is on the module. He did the scanning and preparation of the text. But he does not have a copy of it, nor of any of the other works that he did (Youngs, Websters, ...) He had given them all to bf.org. He also gave me the names and addresses of some people at Bible Foundation, if I need to contact them. This brings up an interesting issue. I get the impression that Sword modules are a transformation of an original electronic text. In the case of Naves, the transformation is slightly lossy in that it throws away some markup. I think that it is important to preserve the source from which the modules are created. I would like to suggest that going forward that we try to do this for new modules. At least for those in the public domain.

The latest installment in our series mapping the class divides in America's cities and metros.
This is the seventh of a series of posts that explore the class divides across America's largest cities and metros. Using data from the American Community Survey, each explores the geography of class within a large city and metro area. For a detailed description of methodology, see the first post in the series.
The map above shows the geography of class for the city of Dallas, Texas; the map below charts the pattern for the entire metro area, which includes Fort Worth, Plano, Arlington, and Denton. The creative class lives in the areas that are shaded in purple, the red areas are primarily service class, and the blue are working class. Each colored space on the map is a Census tract, a small area within a city or county that can be even smaller than a neighborhood.
The creative class, which includes people who work in science and technology, business and management, arts, culture media and entertainment, law and healthcare professions, makes up 34.3 percent of the metro's workers, who average $73,016 in wages and salaries.
As the maps show, the creative class is quite concentrated across the city and metro. There are 471 tracts (36.4 percent) with more than 40 percent creative class, 267 (20.6 percent) with more than 50 percent creative class, 37 (2.9 percent) with more than two-thirds creative class, and 11 (0.8 percent) where the creative class makes up more than three-quarters of all residents.
The class divide in the city of Dallas largely follows a north-south axis demarcated by Interstate 30 and the impressive steel and glass skyline of Dallas's downtown core. The map shows the band of purple radiating out of downtown and spreading out in the north of the city, while the south is a sea of red (service class districts) with spots of blue (working class locations). There is also a lesser east/west divide runs along the Trinity River just south of downtown, separating the working and service class neighborhoods to the west of the river from the creative class to the east.
There are significant developments afoot in the city, according to Michael Seman, a doctoral candidate at the University of Texas at Arlington's School of Urban and Public Affairs and occasional Cities contributor, to spur redevelopment and address these class divides. Seaman, who reviewed early versions of these maps, points out that Dallas's Oak Cliff is a transitioning neighborhood that only shows up as a sliver of purple, but is gaining residents from members of the region's budding creative core of artists, writers, and musicians. Adjacent to Oak Cliff, just south of downtown and straddling service class (red) and working class (blue) neighborhoods, the "massive culinary-based Trinity Groves redevelopment project" is moving from planning stage to reality, notes Seman, who consulted on the project. A mixed-use redevelopment project encompassing roughly 80 acres, it features a restaurant incubator, microbreweries, specialty epicurean shops, culinary education programs, and a plethora of restaurants, which are designed to "appeal to members of the creative class residing both in the city and the region," Seman says.
These two areas represent the budding concentration of the creative class in the city south of the downtown core. Public and private interests are actively involved with and monitoring the progress of these neighborhoods, Seman notes, keeping track on how their transition from working and service class to creative class plays out in terms of economic health, community development, and social justice.
Much the same story is playing out in nearby Fort Worth, which is similarly divided on a north south axis by Interstate 30 and its downtown towers. Among a sea of red and blue south of Interstate 30, shades of purple represent areas of the "Near Southside," where young writers, artists, and musicians are renovating old bungalows, Seman adds.
It is important to keep in mind that these islands of rebirth are only part of a patchwork quilt of neighborhoods with varying degrees of health that extend both east and west and south for miles. The hopscotch landscape also includes depressing swaths of deteriorating strip mall suburbia and blighted urban inertia, with all the unkempt apartment buildings, overgrown lots, and crumbling sidewalks; fast food restaurants, auto body repair shops, quick loan places, and convenience stores that illustrate the city's class divide, he notes.
But to tell the real story of class polarization in Dallas and Fort Worth, you need to look at the entire metropolitan region (see the map to the right, click for larger image). The largest metro in the South, the fourth largest metro in the U.S., the so-called Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex is the economic and cultural hub of North Texas. Its Gross Metropolitan Product in 2011 was more than $400 billion [PDF], the sixth largest in the nation and about the 10th largest in the world.
As can clearly be seen in the second map (above), the metro's class divides are pronounced. Again, we see the north-south divide, with the creative class radiating out of downtown Dallas into the northern suburbs of Plano and Denton and west to the artistic and creative community of Fort Worth and Arlington where the University of Texas at Arlington is located. The creative class forms a wide but reasonably tight circle in the region's core, surrounded by a sea of red (service class) with spots of blue (working class) locations.
The next metro map is interactive: Click on a tract to see its percentages for each of the three major classes.
The table below shows the top 10 creative class locations (defined as Census tracts with more than 500 people) in the metro. The creative class makes up more than 75 percent of residents in each of them — more than twice the metro average of 34.3 percent.

Six out of the top 10 creative class tracts are located in affluent suburbs of Plano, Frisco, and Irving. Two additional tracts in equally affluent Highland Park, an incorporated city embedded within Dallas's boundaries, have a look and feel that is decidedly suburban. Seman notes that this northerly bias "is not shocking after taking into account a history of companies and population marching northward from Dallas proper to new homes in neighboring Collin County, which witnessed a 462 percent explosion in population between 1980-2011. Add into the mix the fact that Irving is third in the nation in the number of technology start-ups per capita — following only Silicon Valley stalwarts Fremont and San Jose — and a clearer picture emerges of a regional 'giant sucking sound' favoring the northern suburbs and edge cities over the south."
The metro's largest class of workers toil in routine jobs in food service and preparation, retail sales, clerical and administrative positions and the like. The service class represents 44.2 percent of the region's workers, and some of the fastest growing job categories. Service workers in the metro average $29,441 in wages and salaries, 40.3 percent of what the region's creative class workers earn. There are 248 (19.2 percent) tracts where more than half the households are service class.

|Metro Average
*Includes Census Tracts with more than 500 people
As the maps show, the service class is largely pushed to the periphery of the region at the outskirts of the metro's creative class core. The table above lists the top 10 locations with the greatest concentrations of service class workers. In each of them, more than 60 percent of residents toil in low-wage, low-skill service class jobs. These tracts are spread across the region — with four in Fort Worth, three in Dallas, two in Denton, and one in Lewisville.
Though two of the top service class tracts are in Denton, this is mostly due to the presence of the University of North Texas and Texas Woman's University in the city, which support a wide variety of service class employment opportunities. Seman, who has studied Denton and its music scene extensively, notes that Denton is also "a magnet of sorts for members of the intellectual and bohemian creative core" and that "local officials are formally addressing how to attract and retain the broader creative class." In addition to the city's storied music scene, he offers the Innovation Greenhouse and the Murphy Center for Entrepreneurship at the University of North Texas, the Create Denton online networking space, various new advertising and tech companies, and the 35 Denton music festival as a sampling of recent additions to the city's creative economy. All of this, he says, is helping position Denton as an "emerging Austin" of the DFW metro and "not so much a hinterland sliding into service class despair."

The working class include workers in factory jobs as well as transportation and construction. It comprises 21.5 percent of the metro's workers, who average $34,699 in wages and salaries. There are just 52 tracts (4 percent) where more than half the households belong to the working class. In contrast, 270 tracts (20.9 percent) are less than 10 percent working class; in 92 (7.1 percent) of tracts, they number less than five percent.
The maps above show the clusters of blue mainly to the south but also in the northeastern corner of the region. The top working class tracts have considerable concentrations of blue-collar workers, ranging from 58 to 76 percent. The most concentrated working class neighborhoods are mostly to the south of Dallas, Fort Worth, and Garland.
"It is important to think of the DFW region as geographically expansive with a robust, integrated economy," Seman says. At the same time, both the city of Dallas and the larger metro region are indelibly marked by long-standing divides. While issues of race are currently being addressed, the polarization previously set in motion continues to widen along class lines.
Steps are being taken to address these divides. Mayor Mike Rawlings of Dallas established GrowSouth, an aggressively implemented holistic economic development plan targeting the city's southern neighborhoods, to address issues of infrastructure, education, culture, urban design, community engagement, and regional marketing. "Mayor Rawlings' initiative is not only the right prescription for Dallas, but for the greater metro region as well," Seman comments. "Metropolitan regions are like living organisms," he adds. "If one part is unhealthy, it will eventually affect the entire body. The increasing separation of classes in the DFW region may hamper its underlying economic dynamism, potentially disrupting social and political stability as well."
I'll have much more to say about this in future posts, as I continue to track this new geography of class. Next week: Houston.

So, this Monday's Guilty Pleasure is Rob Lowe who is aging marvelously and still totally good looking.
Look for a Tuesday Tip, but then a break on Wednesday since that is our travel day down to Washington, D.C. for the conference. I'll be snapping away from pictures for you on Wednesday and will try and get them posted for you on Thursday!

Lockheed Martin's Paveway II Plus Laser Guided Bomb Successful in Series of Flight Tests
ARCHBALD, PA, 03/24/2010 -- Lockheed Martin's [NYSE: LMT] Paveway II Plus Laser Guided Bomb successfully completed a series of six flight tests March 3 at Eglin Air Force Base, FL. The Paveway II Plus LGB uses an enhanced laser guidance package, significantly improving precision when compared to existing Paveway II LGBs.
The Paveway II Plus systems were launched from altitudes ranging from 10,000 to 30,000 feet against a 24' x 24' billboard target angled at 45 degrees. Two GBU-10s and four GBU-12s equipped with MAU-209C/B computer control groups were released from a pair of F-16D Viper aircraft from Eglin's 40th Flight Test Squadron. Each successfully initiated laser acquisition at the expected time and guided to the intended target.
"These tests demonstrated both the precision performance and consistency of the Paveway II Plus system," said Joe Serra, senior manager for Precision Guided Systems at Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control. "Our team took on the challenge presented by these tests and the system performed flawlessly. The new computer control group performed exactly as designed and guided the weapons to their targets with pinpoint accuracy."
Lockheed Martin is a qualified provider of the Paveway II LGB, of all three variants of the Paveway II MK-80 series LGBs, and is the sole provider of the Paveway II Enhanced Laser Guided Training Round and Dual Mode Laser Guided Bomb.
Paveway II LGB guidance kits improve weapon accuracy and reduce risk to U.S. and allied ground forces by converting gravity weapons into precision-guided munitions. Each kit consists of a computer control group, which is the front-end guidance system, plus an air foil group which adds stability fins on the back of each weapon.
Lockheed Martin's LGB kits can be carried on U.S. Air Force, U.S. Navy and most international aircraft platforms currently authorized to carry and release LGBs. Kits are fully compatible and interoperable with existing Paveway II LGB logistics infrastructure, equipment, procedures and aircrew operations.
Lockheed Martin has delivered more than 55,000 LGB kits to the U.S. Air Force, U.S. Navy and international customers. Laser-guided bombs have been used successfully in Operation Iraqi Freedom and current overseas contingency operations.
Headquartered in Bethesda, Md., Lockheed Martin is a global security company that employs about 140,000 people worldwide and is principally engaged in the research, design, development, manufacture, integration and sustainment of advanced technology systems, products and services. The Corporation reported 2009 sales of $45.2 billion.

In "Know of What You Speak", we saw how you can improve your career success by understanding your business environment and properly using the terminology.
The more you know, the better your chance of success.
But the converse is also true.
For many – especially younger workers – this is a bigger problem. Here is why.
You Must Impress to Get Ahead
People want to impress others. Interviewers, bosses, colleagues, customers, dates, friends.
And it is completely natural. You need to impress if you want to succeed in life.
But there is a fine line between impressing and losing all credibility.
Talking the Talk
I do not know a lot. When I talk with my brother-in-law about building a home or repairing my boat, I have no real clue. My dentist can say pretty much anything about teeth and I take it as the truth. And if my car dealer tells me I need to replace something, I lack the knowledge to challenge him.
So if you are speaking with someone that does not know a technical area, talking the talk may be good enough to impress.
But I do know finance, accounting, and general business management. Which is fortunate, because that is how I make my money.
And if you try to talk the talk, but cannot walk the walk, you look look like a buffoon when dealing with me in these fields.
This drives me crazy (or angry or bored depending on the situation). While my feelings may not matter to you, it also very much annoys hiring managers and bosses.
Why is This a Problem for Hiring Managers and Bosses?
It boils down to trust.
If I speak with you – interview, business meeting, general discussion, etc. – and I realize that you do not really know of what you speak, then you lose all credibility. That means I cannot trust what you are telling me. And that translates into concern.
Having to Guess What You Know Is Annoying
If we work together, I need to spend more time monitoring your work.
If you are a business associate – lawyer, accountant, banker, etc. – I cannot trust your input. Not a major problem as I would quickly change advisors or partners.
In an interview, I now need to test you on your assertions to see how little you do actually know. That annoys me and you lose points in the interview.
A few years ago I interviewed a finalist for a trustee position. The position required someone experienced in Canadian Immigration Trusts. Not overly complex stuff, but there are a few nuances. Anyway, this individual knew the terminology and sounded good, but something seemed off. So I told this person how glad that he was well-versed in Immigration Trusts as I had a tricky case that week. Could he advise me on resolving my issues?
He immediately got that deer in the headlights look. No practical advice was forthcoming. The interview ended shortly thereafter.
What Else Do You Not Know?
What I know you do not know also impacts things that I do not know. Follow me?
The trust candidate above claimed to have significant experience with Canadian Immigration Trusts. But the candidate clearly knew not of what he spoke. That was because I was very knowledgeable in this area.
What about French cooking, crochet, or Asian art? I have no expertise in these fields. But even if this trust candidate claimed experience in these areas, why would I believe him? If he lied to me in one area, why would he not lie in another?
Losing credibility in one subject causes a loss of credibility in other areas. Even if you are being honest. That is just the way it goes.
Why is This a Problem for You?
Obviously, if you are interviewing for a job you will not get it.
But there are more issues.
To be successful in your career, co-workers need to trust your abilities. If you become known for talking, rather than execution, others will not want you on their projects, in their units, etc.
It is very difficult to have a good career if co-workers and supervisors do not trust you.
I am happy chatting with people about business, investing, and so on. Most people who are strong in certain subjects like to pass on their knowledge to those who want to learn. But we get mentally tired and annoyed listening to people who are full of crap. Or try to sound as if they know more than they do.
If it is someone that I like, I usually tell them they are full of crap and not to waste my time talking nonsense. My snake-oil selling nephew falls into this category. But for most people I just smile and do not bother to correct them. Just get the conversation over as quickly as possible and get back to productive issues.
Most executives I know feel the same way.
So if you are a one of the above sorts, you may walk out of the interview, business meeting, chance encounter at a social event, etc., very positive about your interaction.
"Send me your resume. If we have any openings you'd be a great fit." No, no openings forthcoming. There seldom are for talkers.
"You sure know what you are talking about. You have a great future in the business." Not with us, but hopefully with our competition.
That kind of thing. You end up with false hope.
What I Prefer
I would much rather speak with someone who is a human sponge. Who downplays his own knowledge on a subject.
Someone who speaks in plain language and does not try to use every technical term he can think of just to impress me.
A person who asks questions on items that he does not understand. Not someone who just nods his head and says, "That's exactly my thoughts."
Do not worry about coming across as dumb. People that listen, absorb information, and ask insightful questions are highly valued in the business world.

"The chargesheet was prepared by a committee constituted by the Congress high command and all the charges would be probed and taken to logical ends," he told reporters on the completion of one year in office. (Agencies) Latest News from Himachal Pradesh News Desk
He said that enquiry into the phone tapping case was nearing completion and a challan would be filed in the court shortly while investigations in other cases are progressing well.
Expressing surprise over BJP's reaction on enquiries ordered by his government, he said that initiation does not mean that the person is guilty.
He added that former chief minister PK Dhumal and other leaders were making baseless allegations to boost the sagging morale of rank and file of the BJP.
The Chief Minister also said that this would not work and the government would remain undeterred by 'the threats and pressures' and go ahead with the enquiries to ensure the guilty is punished.
Alleging that the earlier BJP governments headed by PK Dhumal has hounded him during both the tenures and false (Kattha and CD) cases were instituted against him and both the times he was acquitted by the court.
"I faced cases which were purely a vendetta and there was no chargesheet. But allegations against Dhumal government are based on chargesheet submitted to Congress, to the President of India. All the concerned leaders should face the enquiry and prove themselves not guilty," he added.
He said that Dhumal and other BJP leaders were frustrated as the enquiries into their alleged acts of omission and commission are progressing but the government is committed to the policy of 'zero tolerance towards corruption'.
Referring to an enquiry into the land purchased by Prashant Bhushan, Singh said that he did not want to 'pre-judge' the issue as the normal process of enquiry is on and the facts are being verified.
He also said that the government would take necessary measures to regulate sports bodies in the interest of sportspersons.
On whether any minister has offered to quit the ministry to take up party work in the run up to the forthcoming Lok Sabha polls, he said, "No minister has expressed desire to serve in the organization."
"The chargesheet was prepared by a committee constituted by the Congress high command and all the charges would be probed and taken to logical ends," he told reporters on the completion of one year in office.

The code would be shorter, and would most likely be easier to read and maintain (and extend), if you used an AoA for the matrix Entry widgets and another AoA (with a slightly different name) to hold the Entry widget values; these two tightly-related data structures could be configured in a loop (the following is not tested, but should be close to usable):
Note that you don't need to keep separate handles around for the three frame widgets, and by using the -textvariable attribute on the Entry widgets, you don't need all the "get()" method calls. Your solution subroutine can then be simpler too, using a loop (or map and join) to print out the matrix values, and using the "new_from_rows" method of Math::MatrixReal to initialize the matrix object.
update: changed from my $nrows=3 ... for my $row (1..$nrows)... -- I realized that for the sake of the Math::MatrixReal calls, the array elements really should start at 0 rather than 1.

ENCINITAS — Marisa Soltis Delgado grew up fulfilling the dream of many little girls of becoming a ballerina.
She began studying ballet at the age of 8 at the venerable Harkness Ballet in New York City. As a child she danced with the Royal Ballet at the Met for First Lady Nancy Reagan and Prince Charles. At 15 she became the youngest member of the Milwaukee Ballet. Delgado performed at Boston's famous Emerson Majestic Theatre for seven years while also dancing for Ballet Theatre of Boston. She was subsequently principal ballerina with the Fort Wayne Ballet where she met her future husband, principal male danseur Bernie Delgado.
Now Delgado is giving others the opportunity to fulfill the same dream by holding auditions for a "Little Women" workshop sponsored by her new Global Masterclass ballet program for pre-professional training. There are 25 to 30 openings for boys and girls between the ages of 10 to 23.
The workshop will consist of master classes and rehearsals.
It will begin Sept. 4 from noon to 3 p.m. at Dance Connection in Encinitas and continue every week until a holiday performance in November.
"Students will be participating in the process of this choreographic construction of a two-act world premier, created here in San Diego," she said. "Select dancers will be chosen to perform at the historic Orchard House Museum Centennial Celebration, May 2012 in Concord, Mass."
Orchard House is the site where Louisa May Alcott wrote the book "Little Women." It has been a museum since 1912.
"Professional guest artists will also appear in the production courtesy of Colorado Ballet, State Street Ballet in Santa Barbara and Princeton Ballet for the leading male roles," she said. "This is a wonderful opportunity for young dancers to work with seasoned professionals."
Delgado is also recruiting donors and volunteers to help with costumes, props and scenery.
Ten percent of ticket sales from the Encinitas performance of "Little Women" will be donated to the Preservation Foundation of the Orchard House.
"In this we help ensure that the home of one of our most famous women writers will live on for generations to come," she said.
Delgado was assistant director of Orange County's Ballet Pacifica, and a ballet instructor for 18 years for the Ballet Theatre of Boston, Ballet Pacifica and Walnut Hill School for the Arts in Natick, Mass. where her ballet students included her six-year-old daughter.
"I love ballet so much and watching my Mom teach class is really special to me," Giselle Delgado said.
In developing the business model for Global Masterclass, Delgado envisioned great master teachers from around the country traveling to Encinitas to guest teach.
"I can count 10 colleagues on my fingers right now that would come to Global Masterclass to benefit the dance community here," she said. "When you've been in a specialized profession for 30 years, there is a lot of education to share. We have a lot to give and a lot to teach!"
Currently, Delgado is accepting appointments for private coaching for pre-professional ballet dancers. Global Masterclass will also offer ballet technique, pointe, classical variations, pas de deux classes and adult ballet conditioning class taught by Bernie Delgado.
A special summer ballet intensive will be offered in August.
Delgado said a highlight of her career was meeting the late Dame Agnes de Mille at the age of 15, and going on to dance the soloist part of Americana ballet, "Rodeo," a role de Mille made famous in 1942.
"I had never been happier than dancing her steps in that ballet," she remembers. "I'd like to think of her as a guide to help me create my full-length ballet of 'Little Women.'"
As a young up-and-coming dancer, Delgado said she was nourished by worldly exposure and opportunity.
"That is why we are creating Global Masterclass," she said. "As a professional ballet dancer and teacher, one is in the wild current of success and failure at times, but courage and self-respect must always prevail. This is what we must teach the children, the next generation. This lesson pertains to all of life, not just ballet."
