Session Chair: Mr. Mike Garcia, AEA IPT Chief Technologist
Discussions in this topic area will layout Navy, Marine Corp, Air Force and Army current and future Science & Technology (S&T) developments in Enabling Capabilities that are designed to maintain superior spectrum maneuverability and manipulation while maintaining tactical situation awareness.
CDR Bryan Braswell
Adversaries are exploring and utilizing commercial by-products to develop adaptive and agility technology that will outpace our conventionally cued Electronic Attack (EA). This topic area will discuss new Real-time learning and predictive software algorithms that could provide collective knowledge sharing and autonomous asset management. This new technology is designed to impact adversary decision processes and deny their ability to form an accurate tactical picture.

0800 – 1145 Session 3: Coordinated/Distributed/Network-Enabled Systems Examples
Session Chair: Mr. Steve McNamara, Technical Director, Joint Electronic Warfare Center
Topics in this area will explore distributive technologies supporting spatially and temporally diverse responsiveness to dense and complex threat environments. Of particular interest are technologies that will support EW layering, integration of hard-kill/soft-kill, EW effectiveness, multi-geometry combinatorial techniques, and net-enabled heterogeneous EW architecture and Battle Management. Technologies should be designed to ensure blue force interoperability and provide multiple-point EW to overwhelm adversarial system-of-systems.

Re: Are these BH or should I be concerned?
I think if at any point you are concerned, you should call your doctor. You shouldn't notice less movement at all, even at the very end. The movement changes but he should still move just as much.
Make sure you're getting enough water, and eating small frequent meals to keep your body fueled, and just take it easy. I know easier said than done, with my last baby I had nearly 4 weeks of prodromal labor and it sounds like maybe that might be what you are experiencing. Basically it isn't braxton hicks but your body isn't dilating with each contraction either. It's really important to helping your body get ready though and also positioning the baby if they aren't already facing your spine.

Wow. I think those were the words that left everyone's mouth when Roger Goodell said E.J. Manuel. This surprise pick may change the Buffalo franchise for the next ten years. His mechanics are solid, his accuracy is good(although there's still room for improvement), and his ability to scramble out of the pocket and run is a huge bonus for any team. Manuel gives Buffalo that dual threat option that they never had in the past with Ryan Fitzpatrick.
Although it was believed that the Bills were going to pursue Ryan Nassib because of Marrone's influence, but he chose Manuel over Nassib AND Geo Smith. Manuel, who sounded ecstatic to be a Buffalo Bill in his post-pick interview, will have a tough career ahead of him with Buffalo, although he may turn tis team around.

Vain to get a second plastic surgery procedure?
- Rob A
- 5 years ago
I had a nose job 30years ago and I actually flet like a freak afterwards because I became an outcast with people but I felt better about myself. I have huge ears too that I want to get corrected but I am really apprehensive about having this done too because of family and friends reactions. Is it weird to have more than one thing done? Vain or not vain?
Comments (4)
Do it! Like Ub4me said do what makes you happy!(: if people truly care about you they'll learn to like your new features. I support you 100%! Good luck(:
Tell people to mind their business. Even if you are doing it for vanity - it's your business.
I agree! My son has ears that protrude and I would support the surgery for him if it would make HIM feel better.
my thinking is that vain, or not, do what makes you happy. since the surgery you got before made you feel better, good chance the ear surgery would give you similar positive feeling. good luck rob!

Who is that? Why, it's legendary musician Pete Townshend hanging out with the NYPL's own Paul Holdengraber in our historic 42nd Street building last night. Pete was here to discuss his new book Who Am I? (check it out of the Library here) as part of our LIVE from the NYPL series. He said many amazing things - here's just a small example: when asked to describe his life in seven words last night, Pete said, "I run a store. I have customers." Gotta love it. He also performed a little bit (video to come, fans). Do you love programming like this? Become a Friend of the Library (for as little as $40 a year!) and get discounts on tickets, advanced sales, etc.

How much fun was this! I'd love to have dinner with these two.
Do you borrow e-books from your library?
12% of readers of e-books borrowed an e-book from the library in the past year. But a majority of Americans do not know that this service is provided by their local library.
- 62% of Americans ages 16+ (& 58% of library card holders) don't know if their library lends e-books.
- 58% of Americans ages 16+ have a library card; 69% say the library is important to their family and them
- 32% of e-book borrowers say the selection at their library is good, 18% say it's very good, & 16% say it's excellent
We've got tons more on libraries, publishers, and e-books in our brand new report today, including info on where people discover and get their books, how book-borrowing habits are changing, and why some people don't borrow e-books from libraries.

I was recently contacted by a Reuters reporter who assumed that, because I am an evangelical pastoring in the midwest, I would agree with a new evangelical political initiative attempting to broker a deal between the liberals and conservatives – a "moral" way to handle the powder keg of America's Trojan Horse called illegal immigration. It was described by the reporter as the "I was a stranger and you took me in" initiative. The "I was a stranger …" initiative takes its mantra from the famous text of Matthew 25:35, quoting the authoritative words of Jesus Christ. My response to Reuters News was probably not what they expected.
There is a great deal of accelerated emotions involved in this particular debate, which are not necessarily helpful when addressing an issue of legality, crime, and moral prosecution. The knee-jerk reaction of well-intended souls, who operate almost exclusively in an environment of church government (where the art of human reconciliation is the ultimate driving objective and communication skills are paramount), does not translate very well in a sphere of civil government (where the art of retribution is the ultimate driving objective in order to administer proper justice through punishments). Reconciliatory thinkers are wonderful, valuable, precious people. They are capable of literally "saving the whole world" with what is often promoted to be "good news". They want to give everyone a sincere and loving hug, but please understand they are quite possibly the most dangerous people on earth when errantly put in charge of a maximum-security prison system (or anything that has to do with crime and punishment – law-making – or becoming the next American President).
Advertisement-content continues below
In contrast with reconciliatory thinkers, retributive thinkers are wonderful, valuable, precious people, too. They are literally capable of "protecting the world" with what is often misconstrued as "bad news". Alas, their "Go to jail!" command is very necessary and valuable to society. They can also be the very most disastrous people on earth if they are mistakenly asked to develop a curriculum for training airline stewardesses, concierge etiquette, or running the help-desk at the Department of Transportation licensing bureau…but I digress.
It is my charge that the "I was a stranger and you took me in" initiative is an aberrant attempt of reconciliatory thinkers to solve a criminal problem they seem uniquely unqualified to solve. Are they sincere? Yes. Are they compassionate and well-meaning? I have no doubt. Are they noble and reputable church-leaders in their own right? Sure. Is their premise built upon sound biblical doctrine anchored by divine authority? ABSOLUTELY NOT. They are misguided – in layers.
Here's the link to what is clearly a misleading commercial provided to me by the interviewing reporter. Once you have viewed this commercial and have seen the reading of a Bible passage by various ministers from many backgrounds known and unknown, you will be better equipped to consider what follows in this writing. My thoughts are based upon what I was able to sleuth out about the group, beginning with the most obvious problem – their inappropriate and misleading use of the passage being read when applied to the subject of crime (more on that in a moment).

Rising Star Rules and Regulations

Three overarching recommendations are presented below to address these needs.
Rehabilitation draws from a wide variety of disciplines—it is truly a multidisciplinary activity. Rehabilitation science and engineering is the body of knowledge that exists at the confluence of these disciplines—drawing from, and contributing to each. The continued development of a common knowledge base in rehabilitation science and engineering will be important to future research that can benefit people with disabling conditions.
At this point in the evolution of the science there is a sufficient knowledge base and level of research to justify the recognition of a new field of study. Such recognition would facilitate accelerations in multidisciplinary education, training, and research, all of which would combine to advance the field of rehabilitation science and engineering and more effectively address the needs of people with disabling conditions. For these reasons, the first overarching recommendation focuses on establishing rehabilitation science and engineering as a recognized field of study, as follows.
Overarching Recommendation 1. Rehabilitation science and engineering should be more widely recognized and accepted as an academic and scientific field of study. As such, the field should receive greater financial support, serve as the basis for developing new opportunities in multidisciplinary research and education, and ultimately improve the health and quality of life of people with disabling conditions. This new field should be consistent with the model of the enabling-disabling process that is defined and described in this report.
Several chapters of this report provide specific recommendations for future research in rehabilitation science and engineering. In addition, Appendix A contains suggested research priorities from various professional associations.
Many topics and areas require investigation, and identifying priorities is not simple. The process cannot be based on prevalence alone or simply on cost. Moreover, the entire field has critical ecumenical needs such as creating a common terminology and taxonomy, agreeing on a model, and quantifying functional limitations and disability. Because of this, setting specific priority research topics may not be as important for this committee as setting general priorities for the field.

The example that comes to mind is ex-Eagles, and current New York Jets quarterback Mike Vick. He was cast off by the National Football League after making horrible decisions and doing horrible things to dogs. Ex-Eagles and current Kansas City head coach Andy Reid, brought him in to Philadelphia with open arms, and gave him a second chance. Vick took the second chance, and made the most of it, he had a phenomenal year for the Eagles and strongly helped the organization, not to mention cleaned up his act. Vick is the kind of player that Chip Kelly would not have taken a chance on. Kelly would not have wanted to risk his locker room on this quarterback and his team most likely would have suffered for it. Mike Vick left Philadelphia in a very classy manner, and could not have been more gracious for the second chance that Reid and the city of brotherly love gave him.
Another example is San Francisco 49ers linebacker Aldon Smith. Smith is an all pro linebacker, and a franchise player with a large amount of talent. He also has been getting into trouble, most recently having claimed to have had a bomb in an airport. Smith is a perfect fit for the Eagles and would make our defense tremendously better. Obviously there would be no way to get Smith unless the 49ers cut him. If by some chance the 49ers decide they are fed up with Smith's off field behavior, and decide to cut him, the Eagles would not be interested. This is because even if Smith promised to change, and showed signs of growth, Chip Kelly wouldn't want him.
What's even worse is that even if Chip Kelly wanted him, he couldn't have him. By releasing DeSean Jackson, Chip Kelly has said that these kinds of players are not welcome here. If he then went out and signed or even drafted a player with off field issues, he would look like a hypocrite and a joke, and Philadelphia would be the laughing stock of the football world. I certainly hope Chip Kelly knows what he is doing, because it is too late to turn back now.

We're really feeling the Brooklyn duo, Beacon. On their new EP, For Now. The band dives deep into the exploration of the dark spaces under the surface of human relationships. The first single (featured above), "Feeling's Gone," is the perfect companion for the atmospheric wayfarer caught in reflection. All songs on the EP have a prominent theme of fractured love, particularly the distinction between love and lust, and what happens when the former falls away, leaving only the latter to fester: as lead singer Thomas Mullarney sings on third track "Pulse", "It's a long walk from lust to love… And if I get caught, it's not my fault."

Category: Parenting and Kids
- This is something I wrote for Parents Magazine. It never appeared online, so I did my best to get it on here.
The Collector
"Arlo, where are the batteries?"
"Arlo, where are Mommy's scarves? How about the Apple TV remote?"
"Arlo, did you put the fingernail clippers somewhere?"
"Daddy, do you know where my legos are?"
"No, Silas… ask your brother, he probably packed them somewhere."
You should know that Arlo is not our freelance organization expert. He's four years-old, and has recently taken a shine to wandering the house, collecting items (sometimes very important) and placing them in containers: grocery bags, boxes, suitcases, random drawers and cabinets, the subwoofer. If he were an adult with money and the freewill to purchase items, one might consider this youngster a hoarder, but I believe such status entails acquiring new stuff, not simply aggregating stuff one already has.
Primal Yelling
If you'd like to see human frustration in its most natural state, simply say "no" to a three-year-old. You can also adjust a "wall" of the "grocery store" he made out of Magna Tiles. Another option might be to move one of his Calico Critters 1/32nd of an inch in any direction. These are his dearest items, but merely being in the vicinity of his stuff will elicit Arlo's primal yell.
We could deal with the crying and occasional tantrum. But this new "angry monkey defending his territory" yelling—a rich dessert to the main course hissy fit—causes us to close the windows in September for fear that our neighborhood might think we're operating a tattoo parlor for children, or branding chickens.
My Worlds Collide
Silas (6) is a Power Rangers junkie. I'd like to send out my hearty thanks to Netflix for providing him and the rest of my family with the opportunity to watch all 1,000,000 episodes spanning three decades. The modern Power Rangers (the "Samurais") live in a Zen loft with a Sensei. They tease each other and experience various angsty teen things like zits and existentialism. It's 90210 if Brenda and the gang used huge Lego weapons and acrobatics to defeat saggy-skinned rubber monsters called "Nighlocks."
This fella's name is Marigomori and he's equal parts snake, eagle, armadillo, trash can, bungee cord, olive tree and auto parts warehouse.

6 Bands No One Noticed Broke Up

Category: Music Venues
Region: East End
The Rapture has returned, fully rested and inspired to a scene that it broke wide open with 2001's Out of the Races and Onto the Tracks. The band came along as a lively indie-dance band with a dour bent, just as electroclash was getting a footing in the clubs and twentysomethings were ready to dance again. The single "House of Jealous Lovers" has been called one of the most influential of the past decade, although its parent album, 2003's Echoes, doesn't quite get the love that it deserved, with some calling it a letdown. Same story with 2006's Pieces of the People We Love, which led to the band going on an extended hiatus of about four years. Luke Jenner joined a gospel church choir in his Brooklyn neighborhood, and bassist Mattie Safer left to pursue a DJ career. This past August the band released its first album in five years, In the Grace of Your Love, featuring 11 predictably gospel-tinged dance-floor anthems, and the band is now being welcomed back with open arms by the blogging world.

Randall Collins
|Randall Collins
|Randall Collins
|University of California, Berkeley, University of California, Berkeley, Stanford University, Harvard College
Randall Collins, Ph.D. (born 1941, Knoxville, Tennessee) is an Indian sociologist who is a Sociology professor at the University of Pennsylvania as well as a member of the Advisory Editors Council of the Social Evolution & History journal. He is a leading contemporary social theorist whose areas of expertise include the macro-historical sociology of political and economic change; micro-sociology, including face-to-face interaction; and the sociology of intellectuals and social conflict.[1] He is considered to be one of the leading non-Marxist conflict theorists in the United States.[2]
Early life[edit]
Collins spent a good deal of his early years in Europe where his father was part of the military intelligence during WWII and also a member of the state department. Collins attended a New England prep school, afterward studying at Harvard and University of California Berkeley, where he encountered the work of Herbert Blumer and Erving Goffman who were both professors at Berkeley at the time. He completed his Ph.D. in 1969 and has taught at numerous universities such as University of Virginia, the Universities of California Riverside and San Diego. He is a visiting professor at Chicago, Harvard, and Cambridge, as well as various schools in Europe, Japan and China. He currently teaches at the University of Pennsylvania.
Collins is a social scientist who views theory as essential to understanding the world. He says "The essence of science is precisely theory...a generalized and coherent body of ideas, which explain the range of variations in the empirical world in terms of general principles". This is Collins' way of examining the social world, emphasizing the role and interaction of larger social structures.[3]
Collins argues sex, smoking, and social stratification and much else in our social lives are driven by a common force: interaction rituals. Interaction Ritual Chains is a major work of sociological theory that attempts to develop a "radical microsociology." It proposes that successful rituals create symbols of group membership and pump up individuals with emotional energy, while failed rituals drain emotional energy. Each person flows from situation to situation, drawn to those interactions where their cultural capital gives them the best emotional energy payoff. Thinking, too, can be explained by the internalization of conversations within the flow of situations; individual selves are thoroughly and continually social, constructed from the outside in.
Collins has also argued that violent confrontation goes against human physiological hardwiring. It is the exception, not the rule—regardless of the underlying conditions or motivations. This is in opposition to explanations by social scientists that violence is easy under certain conditions, like poverty, racial or ideological hatreds, or family pathologies.
Fiction writing[edit]
Early in his academic career, Collins left academia on several occasions to write fiction. One of his novels is The Case of the Philosopher's Ring, featuring Sherlock Holmes.[4]

The Clean Air Act (CAA) provides a legal framework for promoting public health and public welfare2 by pursuing five major air quality goals (see Box 1). For the first goal, the CAA authorizes the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to set maximum allowable atmospheric concentrations of six major "criteria" pollutants by establishing National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). Individual states then develop state implementation plans (SIPs) that show how, with the assistance of national control programs, they will meet these standards. Such efforts, as well as those in pursuit of the other CAA goals, seek to regulate emissions from a variety of stationary and mobile sources through the nation's air quality management (AQM) system (see Figure ES-1). Since passage of the CAA Amendments of 1970, the nation has devoted significant efforts and resources to AQM, and substantial progress has been made.
The Committee on Air Quality Management was formed by the National Research Council to examine the role of science and technology in the implementation of the CAA and to recommend ways in which the scientific and technical foundations for AQM in the United States can be enhanced. Over a 2-year period, the committee heard briefings from experts
This Executive Summary provides a brief overview of the committee's findings and recommendations. The detailed Summary is presented after the Executive Summary.
Within the framework of the CAA, "welfare" refers to the viability of agriculture and ecosystems (such as forests and wildlands), the protection of materials (such as monuments and buildings), and the maintenance of visibility.

The Pearson Foundation aims to understand students' use and perception of mobile technology by asking them directly.
The Pearson Foundation Survey on Students and Tablets is one in a series of surveys to track students' use, acceptance, and preferences when using mobile technology. The survey, now in its second year, was conducted to gauge the opinions of college students and college-bound high school seniors regarding digital device ownership and purchase intent; perceptions toward tablets; tablet usage and features of interest; and preferences between digital or print formats when reading, studying, and doing other school-related activities.
The Second Annual Pearson Foundation Survey on Students and Tablets was conducted online in January 2012 by Harris Interactive, the survey identifies a number of interesting trends pertaining to students' use of tablets and mobile technology, including:
A summary of the results of the 2012 Pearson Foundation Survey on Students and Tablets can be found here.
The survey is part of the Pearson Foundation Survey series. Previous surveys have addressed early literacy, community college, literacy, philanthropy and, again in 2012, tablets usage.

The Greatest Films Never Made
- "Dune"
- "Dune" Back in 1974, movie director Alejandro Jodorowsky tried to make a film adaptation of Frank Herbert's beloved sci-fi novel known as "Dune," but the project ended up being dropped after two years.
- "Dune" David Lynch ended up making his own film based on the book, but a recently released documentary about Jodorowsky's project shows that his rendition of Dune would have been much, much more awe-inspiring and epic.
- "Napoleon"
- "Napoleon" Stanley Kubrick wanted to make a film about the great Napoleon after he finished working on "2001: A Space Odyssey," and though shooting for the film began in 1969, MGM cancelled it due to the massive amount of money it would cost, the poor reception of the Soviet version, and the fact that historical epics were out of style.
- "Napoleon" Forutnately, Steven Spielberg is working on a TV miniseries based on Kubrick's original screenplay, so at least Kubrick fans have that to feast on.
- "Blood Meridian"
- "Blood Meridian" An ultra-violent novel set in the 1800s west about a murderous adventure of an Apache slayer referred to as "the Kid" who shows no remorse for his amassed killings as he is payed to collect scalps.
- "Blood Meridian" Ridley Scott was heavily involved in developing a film adaptation before he dropped the project soon after, but it looks like James Franco is attempting to pick up said project, for he released a 32-minute test reel to receive rights to the project.
- "Megalopolis"
- "Megalopolis" A film about a utopian New York City which never finished because of timing. The casting and test shots were already under way when the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, happened.
- "Megalopolis" The director, Francis Ford Coppola, felt the film could not continue because of the correlation of the tragedy and the plot of the movie.
- "Night Skies"
- "Night Skies" Night Skies was supposed to be the sequel to "Close Encounters of the Third Kind," but never made it to filming. The ideas from "Night Skies" were later used to inspire several movies including "E.
- "Night Skies" T.," "Gremlins," "Signs," "War or the Worlds," "The Brother from Another Planet," and "Poltergeist."
- "Gladiator 2"
- "Gladiator 2" A second "Gladiator" film was first announced to be a prequel, then a sequel, and finally as a non-existant project. Later on in 2009, Nick Cave's, a screenwriter that Scott and Crowe asked to write on the film, script was revealed that revealed a truly questionable story in which Maximus would be reincarnated by the gods, protect the Christians in Rome, and then be transported to other periods in time like WWII, the Vietnam War, and as a general at the modern-day Pentagon.
- "Heart of Darkness"
- "Heart of Darkness" "Heart of Darkness" was projected to be Orson Welle's first film in 1940, but was abandoned because it ran over budget. "Heart of Darkness" was about a man who sees his own reflection in the window while sailing his boat down the river.
- "Heart of Darkness" The movie was replaced by "Citizen Kane," so Orson Welles and audiences still won in the end.
- "Superman Lives"
- "Superman Lives" "Superman Lives" was supposed to be based on the comic storyline of the death of Superman. Scheduled for production in the 1990s, the main villain was an alien supercomputer who kills Superman.
- "Superman Lives" Later in the movie, Superman is resurrected by the Eradicator. Nicholas Cage was suppose to star as Superman. Imagine that.
