WASHINGTON • The four-star general who headed U.S. Africa Command used military vehicles to shuttle his wife on shopping trips and to a spa and billed the government for a refueling stop overnight in Bermuda, where the couple stayed in a $750 suite, a Defense Department investigation has found.
A 99-page report alleges excessive unauthorized spending and travel costs for Gen. William "Kip" Ward, including lengthy stays at lavish hotels for Ward, his wife and his staff members, and the use of five-vehicle motorcades when he traveled to Washington.
|Join the Discussion
|Post a Comment
It also said that Ward and his wife, Joyce, accepted dinner and Broadway show tickets from a government contractor during a trip on which he went backstage to meet actor Denzel Washington and they and several staff members spent two nights at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel.
The allegations, coming after a 17-month investigation, deliver an embarrassing blow to the Army and to Ward, who had claimed a place in history as the military's first commander of U.S. Africa Command.
"We conclude Gen. Ward engaged in multiple forms of misconduct related to official and unofficial travel," the inspector general's report said. "He conducted official travel for primarily personal reasons and misused" military aircraft. It said he also misused his position and his staff's time and received reimbursement for travel expenses that far exceeded the approved daily military rate without approval.
Ward, who is facing possible demotion for his activities, also could be forced to repay the government. The report said that there is an additional review going on to determine reimbursement for unofficial travel and daily travel costs that exceeded approved levels. It is not clear whether he could face criminal charges.
In comments throughout the report, Ward defended the spending, saying his wife performed official duties on all the trips. But investigators, who pored over emails, calendar entries and other documents, disagreed. Ward also said he was unaware that the person who gave him dinner and theater tickets in New York was a defense contractor.
Ward said the Bermuda layover was necessary as a "crew stop" and blamed his staff for making the decision to stay there rather than flying on to Stuttgart, Germany-based Africa Command.
The report by the Defense Department's inspector general was obtained Friday by The Associated Press.
A prominent complaint in the report concerned Ward and his wife's use of staff to run personal errands, traveling in government-rented cars.
One alleged incident involved Joyce Ward asking a staff member to go buy her a bag of "dark chocolate Snickers" bars, saying the general would provide "a couple of dollars" for it. Another time, staff drove her to a spa appointment and on other occasions they were asked to pick up books, gifts, sports tickets and baby items, the report said.
U.S. officials said Ward was warned several times by staff that his activities were wrong, to no avail. Instead, he appeared to reject their concerns and find ways to get around them.
In one case, Ward's request to use military aircraft for a personal trip was denied, so he abruptly changed the trip to an official one, adding a quick meeting, and went anyway, the report said.
During one 11-day trip to Washington, Ward spent one day visiting wounded soldiers, had a 90-minute meeting on another day and a State Department meeting on a third day but billed the Pentagon more than $129,000 to cover the daily hotel and other costs for him, his wife and 13 civilian and military staff, investigators found.
The report concluded he did no other official business during that trip.
Investigators said Ward often extended his overseas trips — particularly those to the U.S. — for personal reasons, resulting in "exponential" increases in costs.
Although the report includes responses from Ward to a number of the allegations, investigators often found records and statements that contradicted his explanations. At one point, Ward defended the Bermuda layover, saying that it came up on short notice, which is why his security team had to stay there longer.
The report found records showing that the layover had been planned for at least four days in advance.
A common theme running through the report was Ward's insistence that his wife travel with him at government cost, even though it was often not authorized and she performed few official duties. It said he also routinely stayed in high-priced suites in luxury hotels rather than in standard rooms or less expensive locales.
And his staff — which can include advance and security teams — often traveled days prior to his arrival, including on the Bermuda stop, and stayed after he departed, according to the report. The cost of rooms in Bermuda for Ward and his staff came to more than $10,000, not including meals, transportation or other costs.
Defense Secretary Leon Panetta is expected to make a decision on Ward's fate before the end of the month.Next Page >

Freedom is at Hand0 Comment Published by Dave January 30th, 20013 in File Formats
Technology is changing fast. Ten years ago, desktop computers for home use were considered frivolous and unnecessary as there are abundant internet cafes in Bratislava, Slovakia's capital. Today, it's unthinkable if you don't have any type of device that has internet access, email and any form of instant messaging. Being landlocked in Central Europe, communication is paramount in daily living here.
Thankfully, technology is slowly shifting and changing to mobile smartphones and other handheld devices. As you can very well imagine, we depended on open source software for the longest time as authentic Microsoft and Apple products come at a hefty price on top of shipping. Because of this, Slovakia has become one of the biggest supporters of Linux software. After smartphones were first available at the Polus City Center in Bratislava, hope finally sprung thinking that one day, we would be free from the clutches of Microsoft forever. It's also encouraging to know that phones running on Android platforms have underlying Linux programming and also operate on a free market for its apps. Integration of programs to smartphones became a necessity even among online giants like partypoker sk. Poker is very popular here and various parts of Europe. Since casino memberships can be quite expensive and tedious to actually visit, the online poker community thrived in Slovakia. Apart from promotions and referral programs, the site also gives a seat for the biggest poker tournament in all of Europe, the World Poker Tour and the World Series of Poker. It's good to know that our love for the game of poker survived after the economy took off in 2007. Unemployment was at its all time high during the 1990's and poker was our constant companion.
With less people investing in bulky desktop PC's and expensive laptops, smartphones became an all-in-one equipment in these modern times. While most of our beloved PC games remain trapped in their current platform, we hope that similar high end games would be developed one day for hand held devices. I have no qualms in abandoning my PC if not for the obscene amount of time I spent on my MMORPG's and FPS games. In any case, our hopes are pinned on the smartphone programmers who are constantly coming up with new ways of integrating games with high graphics and are relatively cheaper than the PC games selection on the app market.
We all knew it was coming and I'm glad that I will live to see freedom from the OS giants of our time. One day when people look back on this, I sincerely hope that the people who worked so hard in making sure open source enterprise survived will get a formal recognition in our digital history books. With all our love from Bratislava.
PDF in MS Office1 Comment Published by Dave June 4th, 2006 in File Formats
From Microsoft Monitor (an excellent blog covering the Redmond giant's activities):
There is going to be quite a bit to blog about today, with respect to Microsoft. First up, Wall Street Journal reports that closed-door discussions have broken down between Adobe and Microsoft over PDF. Microsoft had planned to incorporate PDF in Office 2007. I haven't confirmed anything with Microsoft, but the story suggests that Microsoft would remove the PDF feature–at least in Europe and quite possibly everywhere.
Quick recap: Microsoft alleges that after four months of discussions to use PDF in Office 2007, Adobe has demanded its technology's removal. Microsoft claims that Adobe wanted Microsoft to separately offer PDF and charge for it.
A good time to point out to all that OpenOffice.org offers PDF export right now.
Scribus: Open Source Desktop Publishing2 Comments Published by Dave June 4th, 2006 in DTP
Desktop publishing packages are a big help when you want to produce a document that is a little too complicated for a word processing package. A newsletter, or school newspaper, for example. Maybe a poster. Anything which mixes your text with a large amount of graphical content is bound to be better handled in a dedicated DTP package than a word processor.
A number of Windows PCs are supplied with Microsoft's effort in this field, Publisher, and while there are some superior entry level DTP apps out there (Serif's PagePlus springs to mind), most people would baulk at shelling out cash on something they already have for free.
Linux users at this point will be jumping up and down, screaming "Scribus!", and quite rightly so. It's an excellent, fully-featured DTP package, and what's more it's free.
Well, Scribus is also available for Windows (and for Mac, for that matter). It's in beta, but is perfectly stable for home use. All you need is to download a couple of files, install them, and give it a go!
ThinkFree Office2 Comments Published by Dave May 4th, 2006 in Uncategorized, Office software
Over on the Office Evolution blog, Marc Orchant writes about a very interesting office package, ThinkFree Office. Orchant points out what makes ThinkFree different:
ThinkFree's strategy differs from pure-play online offerings. They offer three different local versions of their software that work in concert with the online version of their suite which provides word processing, spreadsheet, and presentation applications that look and work very much like their counterparts in Microsoft's suite. Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux platforms are supported. A desktop version (the Download Edition) of the suite is available for $49.95. More interesting is the Portable Edition ($49.95) for U3 flash devices which allows you to carry the suite with you for use on any computer. This mobile version, combined with the online service present one of the more compelling alternatives, in the truest sense of the word, to Microsoft Office and it's current PC-centric work model. An iPod version specifically for creating, viewing, and displaying presentations, ThinkFree Show ($29.95) is also available.
Providing both an online and desktop based solution is certainly an innovative approach - offering the speed and reliability of the desktop with the accessibility and opportunities for collaboration that online applications provide.
Some light relief3 Comments Published by John May 3rd, 2006 in Operating Systems
Witty series of short movies explaining various reasons for buying an Apple Mac. Not recommended for Windows users unless they've been retrofitted with a sense of humour. The movies are clearly inspired by Umberto Eco's celebrated essay arguing that the PC was a Protestant machine whereas the Mac was undoubtedly a Catholic one.
Queries, questions and help0 Comments Published by Dave May 3rd, 2006 in Site Manual
We've been putting in some work behind the scenes to make the site more useful for visitors.
One of the issues that has come to light is that people would like a place to put forward queries, questions and cries for help; as well as an area to share best practice and other tips.
So, we have created a set of forums. Please feel free to post on any topics on which you have a view, or about which you have a question. If you have previously registered with the blog then we're afraid you will still have to register on the forum.
There has also been a change of look as well as an uprade to the latest release of WordPress. Hopefully these changes will make Living Without Microsoft a better experience for its users.
Browser Comparison1 Comment Published by Dave May 2nd, 2006 in Browsers
If you want to see what the various web browsers have to offer, why not check out the list on Wikipedia?
There is masses of information on there, giving you a chance to make a really informed choice.
LWM Guide3 Comments Published by Dave April 25th, 2006 in Features
A new feature has been added to the site, namely Living Without Microsoft: A Guide for Windows Users. This will be the first of many, offering more in depth articles for those wishing to make the switch from Microsoft software.
If you have any comments or additions for the article, leave them in the comments here!
The AJAX Office4 Comments Published by Dave April 25th, 2006 in Office software
ajaxLaunch is a site notifying us all about the latest releases in the range of online office applications which are the brainchild of Michael Robertson, the chap who brought us all Linspire - a Windows-user friendly linux distro.
So far we have had ajaxWrite, a word-processor; ajaxSketch a drawing package aimed at diagramming and flow charts; ajaxXLS, a spreadsheet; and ajaxTunes, a music player. Also included on the site is eyespot, which is an online video editor.
ajaxLaunch will announce a new package each week though, so it is well worth keeping an eye on.
These are intended as direct competitors to MS Office, and indeed other desktop based Office suites, rather than trying to outdo the likes of the excellent Writely or IRows. That is to say that the files that these programs produce are saved on your desktop or network - not online. This means that one of the principle benefits of online working - the ability to collaborate with others on a document - is missing; and also that you have to carry your USB key around with you still.
Will the average PC run Vista?0 Comments Published by John April 19th, 2006 in Operating Systems
I guess nobody outside of Microsoft knows, but this quote from a column by the well-known commentator John Dvorak is interesting:
Researchers are reporting that as many as half of the business-owned PCs in operation now may not be capable of running Microsoft Vista.
Bill Gates and piracy3 Comments Published by Quentin February 6th, 2006 in Uncategorized
Bill Gates is predicting that software piracy in Asia will be largely under control in ten years' time.
Well, they ought to be able to manage it by then, assuming, of course, that it turns out to be a desirable business goal to exclude so much of the world from your products. If so, then there may be many millions more people living without Microsoft!
This site is designed to help anyone who wishes to explore the possibility of living without Microsoft software. We aim to build a resource which will be informative, impartial and accessible to non-techies.

The area known today as Greenwood was largely developed from 1880 to the early 1940s. Most of the area was located on land that was owned by John Hobson, an early settler, farmer, and land speculator. When Hobson died in 1836, the circuit court divided his estate into 10 tracts, which were developed as large homesteads or estates. By the late 19th century many of those estates were further subdivided and developed into building lots that fit into the city's expanding street grid.
Evalina Hobson, John Hobson's daughter, received one of the tracts of property from her father's estate that still stands at 1001 Granada Avenue, the oldest remaining structure in the neighborhood, known today as 'Look away'.
The area consists of a broad range of architectural style including the Greek Revival, Queen Anne, Folk, Craftsman, Bungalow, American Four Square, and Tudor styles.

It's almost here! Yep, Black Friday! Can you believe it is almost November? I kick off every Christmas shopping season with a Black Friday & Christmas Savings Workshop and this year is no different! Reserve your spot in our Oklahoma City workshop (Tulsa is sold out) and learn how to cut your Christmas spending by 50-80%! Want a little teaser? Check out these 3 Ways to Maximize Your Black Friday Savings:
1. Strategize: Learn the coupon policies before you shop. Many stores will alter their policies for Black Friday specifically, this may include price matching, price adjustments and layaway. Investigate each store before you decide which one is best.
2. Leaked Ads: Find the deals early! You won't know what the deals are going to be until you check out the leaked Black Friday ads. No worries, we will post them here too. This way, you can plan your attack strategically and you'll be away ahead of the game.
3. Be a Stalker: Ok, not a 'real' stalker but be sure to visit your store a day or two ahead and find out where your items will be located. If you plan on lining up outside a store at 3am then you had better make sure you are on the right side of the store! Look around for inventory changes and ask employees so you don't miss the deal.
Of course, if you're not a Black Friday fan, no worries! We'll be posting deals like CRAZY on Black Friday, you can skip the lines and get them online!

I used to cut myself all the timewhen I was in my teens and early twenties. I am now middle aged (40ish) and I still at times will push a razor blade into the skin of my arms. It sucks to feel so bad inside that the only way to make it better is to feel pain on the outside.

Blogging Domino: Eating Locally
We weren't crazy about Domino's March issue, devoted to green living. And according to some comments on our home sites, many of you weren't either.
But we did enjoy reading Cynthia Kling's column on eating locally for two weeks, if only because she brazenly calls out Barbara Kingsolver (author of Animal, Vegetable, Miracle) in the introduction for being "cheaty."
Kling claims she can one-up Kingsolver, whose family added nonlocal items into their diet, by sticking to a two-week menu of food grown only in upstate New York, where she lives. Game on.
What we appreciated about the article is that Kling openly wrestles with common frustrations of eating locally. It can be expensive. It's tough to get everything at a farmers' market. It's time consuming, especially if your local resources are farther afield than the grocery store. Kling gets a hair too romantic about the whole idea at one point (her lactose-intolerant husband can drink Ronnybrook milk! It's a locavore miracle!), but she does give some good tips on shopping at farmer's markets. It's true that the earlier you arrive, the better your selection. And we should all be talking to the vendors, asking questions and learning about our food. That's something we definitely don't do often enough.
She also made an interesting point that eating locally is, essentially, elitist, but so are many practices or items that eventually trickle down to the masses. It's our job to advocate them and make them widespread.
In the end, Kling scales back to shopping at the farmers' market on the weekend and doing the best she can on the fly during the busy week — a realistic outcome, we think.
On another Domino food note, the article on eating raw offered some tasty, healthy eating recipes. The Blueprint Pudding, made from bananas, avocado, and dates and spread on manna bread along with almond butter, looked delicious. Has anyone tried it? You can get the recipe here.

It seems silly to claim you're one-upping Barbara Kingsolver when you're only doing your experiment for two weeks and not the full year. Go ahead, skip the coffee for two weeks.
the problem with eating locally in the past was that if there was a disaster in a certain area, then the people in that area would starve. the rich could afford to import food or leave! even now in war torn areas, food has to be airlifted in to rescue people. so in a sense it's kind of good that we have an international network for these kinds of things.

Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.
Attractive appearance displaying ruby glints. The bouquet is extremely delicate boasting black
fruit flavours, balsamic notes with a subtle touch of Havana cigar and mineral character (lead pencil). The wine seduces the palate with an evolving structure, revealing incredible freshness. The tannins are velvety and distinguished and leave an agreeable impression on the finish. A wine bursting with potential, which would benefit from a few years cellar-ageing.

The Ben Towne Center's leadership team, faculty and staff includes some of the world's top pediatric cancer researchers and scientists.
Dr. Michael Jensen is director of the Ben Towne Center for Childhood Cancer Research at Seattle Children's Research Institute and professor of hematology-oncology at the University of Washington School of Medicine. He is a member of the clinical division in the program in immunology at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center. Jensen holds the Janet and Jim Sinegal Endowed Chair in Pediatric Solid Tumor Research in honor of Korey Rose.
Jensen joined Seattle Children's in 2010 after spending 13 years at City of Hope, where he was director of the pediatric cancer program and co-leader of the cancer immunotherapeutics and tumor immunology department. At City of Hope, he conducted the first FDA-authorized trial of T-cell therapies for children with recurrent neuroblastoma.
Jensen was trained at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine and completed a fellowship in pediatric hematology-oncology at the University of Washington and Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center.
Read about the Jensen lab.
Dr. Leslie Kean is the Ben Towne Center's associate director. She joined the center in summer 2013 from Emory University.
Her research focuses on improving how animal models tolerate transplanted immune cells. This could ultimately improve the odds that immunotherapy, which uses transplanted T cells, is successful in pediatric patients.
Kean received her MD/PhD from Emory University and completed her postdoctoral research, residency and fellowship in pediatrics and pediatric hematology-oncology in at Emory University Hospitals and the Aflac Cancer Center and Blood Disorders Service at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta.
Dr. Courtney Crane is a principal investigator at the Ben Towne Center and an assistant professor at the University of Washington School of Medicine. Her lab is unraveling how cancer cells disarm immune cells, with the goal of finding ways to reprogram those immune cells so they can elude cancer's defenses.
Crane received her PhD from the University of Virginia and completed a research fellowship in the department of neurosurgery at the University of California, San Francisco.
Dr. Rebecca Gardner is an acting assistant professor in the Department of Pediatrics at the University of Washington, an attending physician at Seattle Children's Hospital and a principal investigator at the Ben Towne Center.
Her research focuses on developing immunotherapy trials for the treatment of pediatric leukemia and lymphoma. She is leading clinical trials of cancer immunotherapy treatment for children and young adults with relapsed acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Gardner's goal is to revolutionize how childhood cancer is treated, and reduce or eliminate the need for chemotherapy and radiation treatments that have debilitating, lifelong effects on cancer survivors.
She was trained at the University of Maryland School of Medicine and completed a fellowship in pediatric hematology-oncology at the University of Washington School of Medicine, Seattle Children's Hospital and Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center.
Seattle Children's provides healthcare without regard to race, color, religion (creed), sex, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, national origin (ancestry) or disability. Financial assistance for medically necessary services is based on family income and hospital resources and is provided to children under age 21 whose primary residence is in Washington, Alaska, Montana or Idaho.
