En español | One of the latest challenges for 50-plus workers is figuring out how to work effectively and happily for a boss who is younger.
Many of us these days already do, or we will. As more boomers push back retirement dates, and working part time in retirement becomes a pillar of retirement plans, this generational swing dance is taking place in small and large businesses across the country.
A September 2012 survey by the jobs website CareerBuilder found that one-third of U.S. employees reported working for someone younger. Fifteen percent said their boss was at least 10 years younger.
Sign up for the AARP Money Newsletter
While most workers said it wasn't difficult to work for a younger boss, differences in work styles and communication often cropped up. The truth is that even if your boss is razor sharp and has the chops to lead, it's tough not to chafe when taking orders from someone who's the same age as your kids.
Here are 10 ways to help you deal with the age difference.
1. Manage your attitude
Keep in mind that you were once that brash young boss or rising star, full of clever ideas and new ways of doing things. So listen carefully to what the boss has to say and respect the title and position. "Go out of your way to show your willingness to try new approaches," says Beverly Jones, an executive career coach with Clearways Consulting in Washington, D.C.
According to the CareerBuilder survey, some employees complained that their younger bosses acted as if they knew more than older workers when they didn't. That may be true in some cases, but don't be so certain that you know more. You don't want to come across as a know-it-all. So quiet the condescending tone in your voice. How you treat someone, even subliminally, generally is reflected back at you.
Beware of developing a repetitive negative thought, like: "What does he know? He's got no experience," Jones says. "Reframe your thinking, and regularly repeat a positive reminder to yourself, like: 'He's the boss. I'll figure out what he wants and needs, and I'll give it to him.' "
Then, too, try to see it from your boss' perspective. While you're fretting that your expertise isn't valued, your supervisor, in fact, may be bristling that you're acting like a parent or mentor, and not giving the proper credit for his or her education and experience.
2. Talk about the elephant in the room
Younger bosses may wonder if you will have a tough time reporting to someone their age. They're concerned that you're set in your ways, not willing to try new approaches to doing things, not up to snuff with technology, and possibly you don't have the grit to do the job. Tell them you realize that they may have these concerns, but explain why they shouldn't worry. Better yet, show them.
"Get social," Jones says. "You may not feel like hanging out with younger coworkers, but do it anyway, at least sometimes. Connecting at casual events can help you build vital relationships and it will keep you in the information loop." If it's appropriate for your position, stay engaged on social networks such as LinkedIn industry groups, Google+ or Twitter by posting interesting articles. You could forward an article to your boss that you think is cutting edge with a note that you ran across it via one of your social media platforms.
3. Concentrate on what you have to offer
"I think it's important for the more experienced worker to try to focus on what he or she offers the employer rather than overly focusing on the age concern," says Miriam Salpeter, a job search consultant at Keppie Careers and author of a new free e-book: 5 Mistakes Job Seekers Make and How to Avoid Them. "Consider your experience an asset and pay attention to how well you're prepared to do the job. For example, your maturity and experience helps you solve problems more quickly." Volunteer to mentor younger workers or be mentored by younger colleagues in areas where your boss may show some concern about your prowess.

To TTL or Not to TTL Webinar
Off-camera flash done two ways. Find out which style might work best for you!
When adding light to your portraits, it's clear that off-camera flash produces the most natural and beautiful results. The question that remains is how to best control the flash. Should you use your camera's TTL metering system or is it best to take control and go full manual?
In this video Webinar presented by PocketWizard, guest photographer Rick Sammon joins host Joe Brady as they do an environmental portrait shoot using both methods. Rick is a master at making TTL off-camera flash easy and effective while Joe prefers full manual control for consistency and repeatability.
Which style is best for you?
Join us for this friendly battle between Rick and Joe as they each show their process for controlling off-camera flash for environmental portraits. Take advantage of the live chat as Rick and Joe will take your questions and discuss the features and benefits of each style. You may choose one side or the other, or perhaps even combine both – but whichever way you decide, this will be a fun and informative presentation!

I'm not familiar with Slackware & Co. but it seems there's a tools similar to apt i.e.
slapt-get which can be use from command line:
slapt-get --search package_name
slapt-get --install package_name
Here there is some information: http://software.jaos.org/git/slapt-get/plain/FAQ.html
Otherwise you can download the .deb or .rpm file from LibreOffice website and convert it with deb2tgz or rpm2tgz, and finally use installpkg:
installpkg package.tgz
Or check in http://slackbuilds.org/ there may be Libreoffice.

What is your opinion on same sex marriage?
I'm interested in hearing different opinions from different people around the world.
If you have a strong view. Please share :)
Linda Taylor
Sep 4 2013: I think gay people should be allowed to marry.
- +4
Why should straight people be the only ones who have to suffer?
~Dolly Parton
Sep 4 2013: thanks for your comment!Sep 4 2013: That's an interesting perspective Linda!!! LOL:>)Sep 4 2013: A marriage license is just a scrap of paper from the government. It is as worthless as all other government issued paper. It is the feelings that two people have for each other that are the important thing. Those cannot be changed by paperwork and will continue regardless of the feelings of others. If we are to keep couples of any persuassion from living together as if they are married then we must monitor every bedroom in the world to make sure they aren't put to "improper" use. I doubt the morals and the sanity of anyone who would want that job.
edward long
Sep 4 2013: 1) "All government issued paper is worthless."-- Driver's license; birth and death certificate; social security card; registration of doctors, lawyers, contractors, counsellors, dieticians, child care workers, etc. you say get rid of them all? That is hard to take seriously. 2) "We cannot monitor every bedroom so let's normalize homosexual marriage."-- Why would that philosophy/logic not be applied to any unacceptable behavior? We cannot monitor every piece of merchandise on American store shelves so let's normalize shoplifting. That is hard to take seriously. If there are any sound reasons to normalize homosexual marriage I don't think your two will be among them.
- +1
Sep 4 2013: I do not believe in government licensing of professions. We should all do our own due diligence when dealing with such people. I'm just as dead or just as alive whether the government certifies it or not. Social Security is involuntary and will pay the people back less than what they put into it. It is only of value to the government that is stealing the difference.
We do not monitor every item on every shelf because the cost of the occassional theft is less than the cost of doing the monitoring. The cost of monitoring everyone's bedroom is not only financially prohibitive but would deprive everyone of something more precious, the right to privacy. The damage done would far out weigh the benefit.
edward long
Sep 4 2013: You think I should be allowed to fly an airplane over crowded cities even though I am "self-taught" and have no formal training, qualifications, experience, or certification? You also think the reason to normalize homosexual marriage is because it would be too costly to enforce its prohibition? We know from centuries of experience how little it costs to enforce a ban on homosexual marriage.Sep 4 2013: The real fight on same sex marriage is not about the man / man or woman / woman union .... it is about medical dangers, insurance, and benefit entitlements.
- +1
Religions catch the blunt of the "war" on same sex marriage ... that is because they are the easy and obvious target. The big money and the real war on the legality is insurance, medical, and political. It is interesting that historically the socialist / communist countries do not tolerate homosexuality in any form .... however in the USA the liberal forum of legalizing all forms of sexual unions is supported. That begs the question ... when the Socialization of America is complete will these acts be tolerated? My guess is no.
You have asked one of the most liberal sites on the web about a liberal standard. Sodomy laws were repealed in 2003 by a ruling of the SCOTUS. However, it is still illegal in San Francisco to either give or receive oral sex. Now that is funny. I found that under silly laws listed under San Francisco.
So in conclusion .... we should stop the argument of same sex marriage and debate the real issue surrounding it because that is where billions of dollars are at risk as well as lives and political futures.
Renee ... this has been discussed many times ... why do you revisit it now?
Sep 4 2013: Robert,
Perhaps the question of same sex marriage continues to be revisited because some folks still have issues with it? Just a thought:>)
Sep 4 2013: Granted many people have issues with it ..... I was just interested in after all of the press on this issue what was the need to do it again .... There is not much ground left to cover so I was wondering what was the "specific" we could address.
Sep 4 2013: I wholeheartedly agree with you Robert.....not much ground left to cover. It seems like a basic human right for people to be able to choose their life partner. It also seems like discrimination for others to decide what is right and what is wrong with adults choosing their partners.
However, there are still places where same sex marriage is not allowed, and there are still groups which discriminate, so perhaps it still needs to be discussed.Sep 4 2013: As I originally stated perhaps the billion dollar issues surrounding same sex subjects should be the focus .... this has become political and emotional .... it really boils down to money and health issues.
Sep 4 2013: I guess we see it a little differently Robert. I have lots of friends in same sex partnerships, and they like having the right to choose and marry their life partner. Many of them have lived happily with their chosen partner for many years.
I am proud to live in one of the first states to allow civil unions, and same sex marriage. So these loving couples can be officially recognized and have the same rights under the law as other people have.Sep 4 2013: I agree ... I still do not think that is the major objections ...
1. Homosexual domestic violence among men alone dwarfs 500 to one the 1,317 hate crimes nationwide last year allegedly motivated, by disapproval of homosexuality, the FBI reported.
2. The Medical Institute of Sexual Health reports "homosexual men are at significantly increased risk of HIV/AIDS, hepatitis, anal cancer, gonorrhea, and gastrointestinal infections as a result of their sexual practices." While "women who have sex with women are at significantly higher risk of bacterial, breast cancer and ovarian cancer than are heterosexual women."
3. The Center for Disease Control reports men involved in homosexuality are 860 percent more likely to contract sexually transmitted disease, partially because they "have large numbers of anonymous partners, which can result in rapid, extensive transmission of STD's...threatening national HIV infection prevention efforts."
4. Oxford University's International Journal of Epidemiology reports "life expectancy at age 20 for gay and bisexual men is eight to 20 years less than for all men. If the same pattern of mortality continues, we estimate that nearly half of gay and bisexual men currently aged 20 will not reach their 65th birthday."
These types of reports are what scares the insurance and medical professions. It is also alarming to employers who will see sick leave and missed work days. The costs associated with any medical treatments in the areas mentioned above are off the chart. This has rewrite the actuarial charts for death payments. As profits go down the costs will always go up.
I also have friends who are in a same sex relationship .... they are good people. My lady friends wife just passed of cancer. I have been to their home often and love them both. The fight they had was never about the couple .... but rather rights and benefits.
We are on the same side ... just that I say the real war is about money.
Thanks .....
Sep 4 2013: Robert,
What is your point? I do not perceive a "war" Robert, and I totally agree with Scott...
"other peoples' relationships are none of my business. love is good. more of it is good. live and let live"
Robert, The question is..."What is your opinion on same sex marriage?"Sep 4 2013: In a world where millions of babies/children have no parents and there are couples who would want to adopt these homeless infants and kids... Some couples who cannot produce their own, but can be parent anyways. Some of which understand how it is to be a minority and segregated who really can make a stronger, smarter and braver child for the future...
Seems like my opinion doesn't matter when something good for the rest of the world can happen.
Simply - I believe your question shouldn't have to be asked. It should already be known any LGBT person should be equal to anyone 'straight' - and this type of discrimination towards sexual orientation proves how little people care about 1. history, 2. biology and 3. individual rights (morality).
My opinion is there should no longer be an opinion. Plenty more important topics to worry about, and if religious beliefs get in the way - that is when campaigning (non-violently) should take place to the leaders of said religion, not the followers.
Sep 4 2013: Fair enough.
But we all still have opinions and its good to share them around i believe.
I'm not disagreeing with anyone here. I'm just listening.
Sep 4 2013: Perhaps, somewhat, this question is innately offensive to me now, the more and more I study and think about diversity-issues.
The more I realize how factors of age, gender and race can cause more harm to society than worrying about sexual preferences... I realize two things 1. gay-marriage is just another hot topic (necessary, but now pop-cultured) and 2. a lot of religious orientation effects the decision of LGBT-marriage within a society and culture.
WE, right now, are playing into 1. which makes it just trendy and an interesting topic to find opinions on. BUT, 2. is perhaps where more stress and emphasis should be focused.
What religions are against homosexuality? Why? What exactly is wrong with it in that theological construct? Is there wiggle room? Are there exceptions? What about human history, were there religions that championed free-sex?
We all do have opinions, sometimes that is not enough!
Sep 4 2013: You have a good point Nicholas. I respect that and i am listening.Sep 4 2013: Hi Nicholas......nice to see you again:>)
Simply put, I think/feel it is a human right to be able to choose our partner, and you're right Nicholas, that if some folks think it's not ok, they probably are not aware of history, biology or human rights.
I'm wondering if you have checked out any of the other discussions on this topic? There are quite a few:>)Sep 5 2013: I am for same-sex marriage. Before stating my reasons and thought process, I am heterosexual and live in the US (in a state that I *think* bans gay marriage or something like that).
I view marriage as a definite and physical (there's a license or something right) bond between two people who love each other and are dedicated to each other (right after typing two I thought, "Hmmm... what's wrong with more?", but then decided to think about that for another time or discussion (which I will most likely make, so look out!)). I think homosexuals (unless anyone objects, I will now use "gays" (BTW for me, gays contains men and women) instead of homosexuals just for avoidance of carpal tunnel syndrome) can love each other and be dedicated to each other, so naturally I don't see what's wrong with them marrying.
A common or at least recent argument I've heard against gay marriage was that marriage is a passage to heaven or something along those lines. Now, I can see how someone might think gay affection and/or sex (someone should clarify for me) is not right or moral, but that is for a different debate. Marriage, as far as I know, is a *man-made* (asterisks means bolded; don't like using caps) institution. I believe basic morals are universal and timeless and therefore the way to get to heaven (I have problems w/ some people's ideas of heaven, but again different debate) will be the same throughout any place and any time. Just a quick example, pornography wouldn't be a sin, but fantasizing, lusting, or seeing something erotic would be the wrong aspect of pornography (again just example, not emphasizing a personal opinion). Since marriage hasn't been around forever or since the dawn of humanity (again personal belief, but prolly pretty accurate), it can't be on the timeless "rubric" of getting into heaven, or for me, something that could be used immorally.
Hopefully this comment wasn't too fragmented, but I've got some homeowrk so I'll reread it another time. Please ask for
Sep 5 2013: thank youSep 4 2013: other peoples' relationships are none of my business.
love is good. more of it is good. live and let live.Sep 4 2013: I have no problem with it.
The thing that used to bother me was when gay couples adopt children, and those children bore the brunt of the stigma attached to having two dads or two mums - a potential source of harrassment, bullying and/or isolation in the school playground.
It doesn't bother me now because I think the stigma and assumptions are disappearing quite quickly as parents generally are becoming more aware and tolerant. Also because I realised that in being bothered about it, I was actually in my own small way perpetuating the stigma myself.
Sep 4 2013: I'd go as far as saying that they should be readily allowed to adopt children.
The reason is that the alternative is that those children would otherwise end up in foster homes for all of their lives, which I see as worse than living in a semi-normal family.
Babies might get snatched up by adopting couples in no time, but for older children, there is never any shortage of orphans that no one wants to take in.
Heterosexual couples should still be given priority over those, but after those are done with their pickings, there is never shortage of surplus.
Nadav Tropp
Sep 4 2013: If they want to marry each other, let them. Why should I care, one way or the other?
- +1
Live and let live. They're not harming me in any way, so I see no reason to stop them.
In fact, if anything, I should care to allow them, simply because once you start stripping one minority's rights, its not long before other minorities start getting the same treatment, and civil liberties are hurt for the lot of the populace.
Sep 4 2013: I agree very much.Sep 5 2013: Part II
clarification or ask questions or refute or criticize. Thanks! Since we don't have much time, just PM me!Sep 4 2013: Depends on what one's definition of marriage is ?
:-)Sep 4 2013: Licensing is used far more often to prevent people from joining professions than it is to insure the quality of the professionals.
If I so choose I can go buy an airplane right now and attempt to fly it. It is unlikely that anyone would stop me if I was even a little clever about it. The lack of a slip of paper would not stop me nor is it likely to stop anyone else. If someone is foolish enough to fly a plane without knowing how they are certainly foolish enough to violate licensing laws.
The cost of prohibition is not the only issue but it is the main one from the perspective of practicallity. If there is harm in homosexuality then the homosexuals are only hurting themselves and it is no business of mine. If you feel that it offends God then you also know that God can deal with it without your help.Sep 4 2013: I think it's acceptable. On what basis would it not be? Some people say it might lead to the legalization of incestuous marriages. Nowadays I'm wondering what would be wrong with an incestuous marriage, I can't see any problem, what do you think, Renee?
Sep 4 2013: Thanks for sharing.
I think its silly, the way people think of these ideas that having same sex couples marry is going to cause major problems. Because opposite sex marriage can probable cause all of the same problems these people are thinking of.
It is acceptable.Sep 4 2013: Why not respect everyone's opinion? Marriage has a religious context to most people, but something like it is important to same-sex couples. Traditional marriage is marriage. Call this other relationship a same-sex union or whatever. This is called compromise. Why should people care otherwise?
Sep 4 2013: Very good words.
Thank you!

Last year we gave you a heads-up about the poor quality of NBA League Pass Broadband, the NBA's shady auto-renew system for its online video offering, and the league's non-existent customer service. Has the league finally gotten its act together for this season's edition? After several weeks of attempting to use the service, we can conclusively answer: nope.
It's slightly improved
To its credit, the NBA has attempted to respond to the criticisms in past years. For the first time, viewers can choose between home or away broadcast feeds, and national broadcasts are no longer blacked out in the archive. The national games in particular are a huge deal, because even if you can't watch them live, the national games have many of the best matchups, and being blacked out in perpetuity was just the dumbest thing.
But it still sucks
The biggest knock against LPBB is that, often, it simply doesn't work. In fact, LPBB has somehow managed to get worse at letting subscribers watch games live, in both availability and reliability.
The web-based player's streams regularly freeze and require reloading. This happens particularly often when watching in picture-in-picture mode, but with regularity no matter what you're doing. The player itself continues to lack even basic functions MLB.tv and NHL GameCenter have had for years. Both of those services have the ability to navigate through a game to find particular plays; LPBB has a slider that will fling you off some random amount of time into the past or present—or more likely just freeze your feed and force you to reload. (It's even more infuriating when the skip-back-10-seconds button does this, and it does, constantly.) And don't get us started on why the entire navigation bar goes away when you bring up the Games interface.
The permanent blackouts of your local market remain. This means that, despite paying for the NBA's service, you're still unable to watch your home team play live if you don't have cable or satellite—at which point, you would would likely not have League Pass Broadband. This remains insane, as LPBB is conceived in large part for fans who don't have cable but want to watch the NBA. Blacking out every game from the team (or teams, if you live in a market with more than one) most users want to see is idiotic. And even if you have cable, and just want an archive of your home team's games, you'll have to torrent them or buy a fleet of TiVos and record them yourself.
Unlike MLB, the NHL, and MLS, the NBA separates broadband from mobile. This is a very special brand of stupid. It means, if you do not have cable, but want to be able to watch NBA games on both your computer and your phone, even on Wi-Fi, you've got to buy both packages separately... which add up to $5 less than buying the TV package that includes all three.
All this, and somehow the NBA has the nerve to raise the price for LPBB. For the Premium full-season package you'll pay $200, up from $180 last year. Oh, and if you select the "Five Easy Installments" plan, it's $225, because fuck you. (The price for the five-team package is $140/$155.)
Oh, and it just straight up doesn't work correctly (or at all) on a bunch of devices it's supposed to work with. Part of this is because, quietly, League Pass suggests you shouldn't use LPBB with wireless-only devices. (This probably implies inferior caching technology on their end, but that's another story.) For you, this means common devices like Apple TV and Roku (and, um, laptops that aren't plugged into Ethernet) will suffer many, many frozen streams. That is, if the streams work at all. Many users of the Roku set-top box who expected the product to "work" as it has in previous years found the following message upon attempting to log into the service this season:
I own four Roku boxes, and all four are incompatible with the new version of NBA Game Time. (MLB, NHL, and MLS packages continue to be rock-solid on Roku.) Maybe that's for the best, as Roku forums are flooded with complaints about this season's edition, and attempting to watch live games last year mostly resulted in things like this:
On the other hand, the NBA has added a PS3 app. It's fairly spartan and violates pretty much every UI guideline from Sony, but it works.
Wait, no, it doesn't. Either broadcasts look like this:
Or—somehow even more often than with other devices—it just won't load at all. I have yet to successfully watch an entire live game this season on the PS3. Apple TV users have been tweeting at us all season about issues on that platform, too, which isn't surprising given how many problems plagued that app in previous years.
So don't buy it—unless you just have to
The thing is, it doesn't have to be this way. In fact, there's a better solution already on the market for the NBA. International NBA League Pass Broadband is a separate product offered by a separate company, and most of the above has never applied to it. We'd suggest the NBA/Turner cut ties with their current system, and move everyone to the international brand.
Or you could go the other way and just get the TV package. For a few pennies more, you can subscribe to the televised version of NBA League Pass and get the broadband and mobile versions along with it. Unless you're a cable-cutter, there's zero reason to buy NBA League Pass Broadband on its own; you're missing out on the mobile package, after all. If you are a cable cutter and want to watch the NBA, though? Well, you're screwed. You may as well just jump on a pirated stream, because while the quality will suck, it'll probably be more reliable than the LPBB feed. Whatever you do, you should let League Pass know you're not happy about it.

Furman volleyball rallies to take five-game thriller over ETSU
Wednesday, October 15, 2003Johnson City, Tenn. (October 15, 2003) -- East Tennessee State's volleyball team held a 2-0 advantage over Furman in Southern Conference volleyball action Wednesday night, but the visiting Lady Paladins went on to win 20-30, 27-30, 39-37, 30-27, and 15-11 in a five-game thriller from Brooks Gym. ETSU, which falls to 4-16 on the season and 2-6 in league play, hit a torrid .452 in game one, while the Paladins were held to a .138 clip on 11 attack errors. Furman (12-12, 7-3 SoCon) hit much better in game two (.364); however, the Buccaneers escaped with the win and had the momentum going into the break. The lead changed hands nine different times in game three, but a kill by the Lady Paladins Ally Hock and an ETSU attack error gave Furman the eventual 39-37 victory. The win proved to be the turning point in the match as Furman posted come-from-behind heroics in game four and the decisive game five. Sophomore setter Kristi Robinson(Knoxville, Tenn.) tallied 71 assists, which was just two assists shy of breaking an ETSU record that has stood for 10 years. Freshman Kelsey Sherich (Ogallala, Neb.) also pitched in her fair share of offense with a team and career-high 23 kills. Defensively, ETSU out-blocked the Lady Paladins 11-9, as senior middle blocker Lissa Allen (Palm Bay, Fla.) was credited with six blocks. Allen also finished with 16 kills in match, followed by 15 kills from fellow senior Kate Steidle (Waynesboro, Va.) and 12 kills from Karen Freeburg (New Castle, Ind.). Freshman Natalie Pittenger (Gaston, Ind.) posted a team-high 16 digs. Furman boasted five separate players who finished with double figures in kills. Leading the way was Hock, who registered a double-double with a grand total of 24 kills and 11 digs, followed by 15 kills from Julia Fredrickson. Whiney Purser ended up with 14 kills, while Liz Hilliker and Caitlin White tallied 13 and 10 kills, respectively. Rosey Cashman ended the evening with a team-high 15 digs, and was one of three Lady Paladins to reach double figures in that category. Molly Rybak also recorded a double-double with 66 assists and 12 digs. East Tennessee State will have a few days to lick its wounds, but must be ready again on Sunday, Oct. 19, when Wofford comes into town. The match versus the Terriers is set to begin at 1 p.m. in Brooks Gym. Meanwhile, Furman continues its road stretch with an Oct. 18, match-up in Chattanooga.

Air Combat Command officials continue to take actions to slow, and within the near-term dramatically restrict, fiscal 2013 spending in light of pending sequestration and a projected $1.8 billion shortfall in overseas contingency funding.
"We are prioritizing our efforts to sustain force structure and preserve combat capability for the joint force," said Gen. Mike Hostage, commander of ACC.
Hostage previously directed ACC units to reduce discretionary spending to the maximum extent possible without affecting mission readiness. Spending for temporary duties, equipment purchases and facility sustainment, restoration and modernization programs are being aggressively scrutinized or deferred in order to minimize spending.
ACC units are currently executing the wing flying-hour program to maintain combat readiness, and will adjust as sequestration-driven specifics are available. Depending on the outcome of budget decisions, ACC may have to reduce flying operations for two-thirds of squadrons across the command by mid to late May. This includes fighters, non-nuclear bombers, command-and-control, personnel recovery, and intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance missions.
"Remaining as mission-ready as possible is our imperative, and priority for flying hours will go to units that are deployed or preparing to deploy and to formal training units that provide fully qualified aircrews," said Hostage.
If flying hours are drastically cut, aircrews will make heavy use of simulators and academic training to maintain basic skills, and maintainers will complete upgrade training and scheduled maintenance to the extent possible given availability of spare parts. While each weapon system is different, on average fighter pilots lose their currency to fly combat missions after 120 days of non-flying. It takes approximately 90 days to conduct training to return a fighter pilot to CMR status, and recovering from lost currencies would take approximately 6 to 12 months.
The two largest aircraft test and training ranges in the United States will also be affected under sequestration. The Nevada Test and Training Range, and the Utah TTR may close in early summer, which would further affect combat training and test-and-evaluation evaluation activities. ACC's aerial demonstration teams, which are used for recruiting and public awareness of the Air Force mission, are continuing their certification procedures for the 2013 season, but officials realize changes may be required under sequestration. Adjustments to the schedules will be announced as appropriate.
On Feb. 12, U.S. Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Mark A. Welsh III told the Senate Armed Services Committee that unprecedented budget factors have placed the nation's defense strategy in jeopardy.
"Sequestration threatens to carve crucial capability from America's Air Force, with alarming and immediate effects on people, readiness and infrastructure, and, eventually, on modernization," said Welsh. "If it occurs, it will significantly undermine your Air Force's readiness and responsiveness today."
Sequestration will have an effect through the remainder of fiscal year 2013 unless rescinded. The impact on ACC operations beyond fiscal 2013 will be determined when the fiscal year 2014 budget becomes more clearly defined.

Japan made it two wins from two in the Pacific Nations Cup after beating the United States 37-29 on Saturday, with Ayumu Goromaru kicking 17 points.
The full-back converted all four of Japan's tries and also sent over three penalties to help the Brave Blossoms claim a bonus-point victory.
Ryu Koliniasi Holani scored two tries while scrum-half Fumiaki Tanaka and winger Akihito Yamada scored a try apiece in reply to three tries from USA star Blaine Scully, with Cam Dolan adding another for the spirited home side.
Japan, who began their campaign with a win in Canada last week, now have nine points from two matches and host Italy next week in a friendly.

The Product Line Manager (PLM) is the primary point of contact for the operational unit, and the single point of accountability for any asset-related issue, system, or equipment.
NESUs are field-level commands of the Surface Forces Logistics Center (SFLC) and report to the Chief, Industrial Operations Division (IOD) within the SFLC. SFLC Product Line Managers (PLM) is the touch point for fleet support needs. In coordination with PLMs, the NESUs interact with cutters, Districts, Sectors and Units with surface assets as part of the overall depot level support scheme for cutters and boats CG-wide.
Industrial Service Activities (ISAs) are Coast Guard-owned locally-distributed providers of depot-level maintenance and repair for Civil Engineering and C4IT communities as well as Naval Engineering support. ISAs and detachments (ISDs) report directly to their local NESU and provide IOD-level visibility of their schedules and work assignments to ensure that the CG's limited core repair resources are centrally managed, locally controlled and efficiently & effectively applied in alignment with Coast Guard priorities. ISAs typically support cutter dockside availabilities, boat availabilities, buoy maintenance, casualty response, facilities repair and more.
SFLC Maintenance & Weapons Augmentation Activity (MWAs) is executed by the Maintenance Augmentation Teams (MATs) and Weapons Augmentation Teams (WATs), and reside within the NESUs or as detachments of the NESUs. Their primary responsibilities include cutter preventive and corrective maintenance.
Ready Today . . . Preparing for Tomorrow
The United States Coast Guard is a military, multimission, maritime service within the Department of Homeland Security and one of the nation's five armed services. Its core roles are to protect the public, the environment, and U.S. economic and security interests in any maritime region in which those interests may be at risk, including international waters and America's coasts, ports, and inland waterways.

I had a discussion with a recruiter recently that made me wish I could visually represent programming skills. In trying to explain how skills relate, what are the important properties of those skills? Would a tagging model work (i.e. "Design Pattern," "Programming Language," "IDE," or "VCS")? Are they really hierarchical?
Clarification: The real problem I see is communicating the level of granularity among skill sets. For instance saying someone "knows Java" is a uselessly broad term in describing what someone can DO. However saying they know how to write web services with the Java Programming language is a bit better. To go even further, saying they know Spring as a tool under all that is probably specific enough.
What should we call those levels of granularity?
What are the relationships between the terms we use? i.e. Framework to Language, Tool to Language, Framework to Solution(like web services), etc.

Mental Health Links Faith and Spirituality
SAMHSA's National Mental Health Information Center has published a useful list of organizations and other online resources related to mental health and spirituality.
Combating Stigma: Mental Illness in a Jewish World
A plea from within the Jewish community to embrace differences and change perceptions of mental illness.
Oases of Peace
Episcopal churches and schools in Annapolis, MD are partnering with the TKF Foundation to create open spaces that become sacred places based on the conviction that nature is a healing and unifying force.
The Episcopal Church has a long history of outreach to the healing communities in the area, most notably in its sponsorship and support of St. Luke's House for those recovering from mental illness.
Partnering Faith Communities and Public Health on Crisis Team
The Waco-McLennan County Public Health District is forming a team of volunteers to tend to people's psychological and spiritual needs after major disasters. The idea dates back to 2005, when Hurricane Katrina and Hurricane Rita struck. When activated, the team will counsel, pray with and perform psychological assessments on disaster victims.
When A Friend Commits Suicide
After losing a loved one to suicide, Ruth Guggenheim remained respectful of Jewish tradition and its strong stance against suicide, but noted that rabbis no longer generally apply strict interpretations in suicide matters.
"The rabbis of the Torah didn't realize then that it was about mental health," she said. "When the Torah was addressing the concept, [suicide] wasn't recognized as an illness. So we've all become more human in our outlook. It comes down to chemical imbalance, and it's instigated by what a person is going through psychologically."

Let Your Jones Act Lawyer Argue for Your Right to Compensation
When you need a Jones Act lawyer, you need experience and skill. Your Jones Act lawyer is your voice in the courtroom – someone to argue for your right to compensation. After an injury, your employer might try to convince you to settle without an attorney present. This is a mistake and one that you should avoid. Never sign any papers or make any agreements without consulting with a Jones Act lawyer first. This is your future at stake – you need the best attorney you can get to fight for your rights and get you the money you deserve for your injuries.
Jones Act Lawyer Helps Louisiana Seaman with Multiple Injuries
H. Tillman, a Louisiana seaman, was recently involved in a case that required the help of a Jones Act lawyer. Mr. Tillman was working aboard a vessel as a deckhand. Given the task of retrieving a line, Mr. Tillman wasted no time in trying to complete his job. However, the seas were quite rough on this day and as Mr. Tillman struggled with the heavy, wet line, he lost his balance. He fell overboard into the rough seas. After about ten minutes in the water, Mr. Tillman was rescued. He suffered various injuries from the fall, including a dislocated shoulder and a broken arm. Mr. Tillman contacted a Jones Act lawyer for help with his case.
The Jones Act lawyer filed a claim against the employer. It was a clear case of negligence and an unsafe working environment. Mr. Tillman should not have been retrieving the heavy line alone. He should have had mechanical assistance or, at the very least, another deckhand to help. The employer provided neither of these things and that negligence led to the fall and injuries. Mr. Tillman's Jones Act lawyer was able to negotiate a settlement of $600,000 for medical expenses and lost wages.
You Have the Right to a Jones Act Lawyer
If you have ever been injured after falling overboard, contact a Jones Act lawyer for advice. You have the right to seek compensation for any work-related injuries. Even if your employer tries to convince you otherwise, always seek the advice of a qualified attorney. Your Jones Act lawyer will help you file your claim and get the money you deserve for your lost wages and medical expenses.

text: Illinois Licensure Testing System Tests for Spring/Summer-2014 Students with a composite score of 22 on the ACT with an English Writing score of 19 or 1030 on the SAT with a writing score of 450 may request a waiver in lieu of the new Test of Academic Proficiency (TAP). Details on obtaining this waiver are at the bottom of this webpage and changed as of Jan. 1, 2014. Test dates for the remaining 2013-14 academic year have been established as Feb. 8, 2014, April 12, 2014, June 7, 2014 and July 12, 2014. Late fees apply with six weeks of the test dates, so plan ahead. Note that some subject-matter tests can be taken at remote locations and at other times, namely for Subject-Matter Knowledge tests for Elementary/Middle Grades, English/Language Arts, and Mathematics. See below for the timetable as to when these tests are required for the Wheaton Teacher Education Program (WheTEP). You may register on line at the Illinois Licensure Testing Service >> or by phone (800) 239-8107. When do I take these tests? Note the sequence of these three tests for those seeking an Illinois Teaching License through Wheaton College. The TAP (Test of Academic Proficiency) or its ACT/SAT equivalent must be passed prior to acceptance into the Wheaton Teacher Education Program (WheTEP). The TAP is offered exclusively on line but only through designated test sites. The closest one to Wheaton is the Pearson Testing Center in Oakbrook, IL. The Subject-Matter Knowledge exam must be passed prior to student teaching. The Assessment of Professional Teaching must be passed prior to certification and is typically taken during one's final semester at Wheaton. Study guides >> are also available and recommended in preparation for each test. Waiver Information, Effective Jan. 1, 2014 Those qualifying for a waiver instead of the Test of Academic Proficiency (TAP) due to a composite ACT (22) and English Writing score of 19 or SAT (1030) score, including the writing subtest score of 450, must complete these two steps. Download these instructions and follow the four steps. The first step involves creating an account with the Educator Licensure Information System (ELIS). Click on Educator Access and then choose the left menu option to Sign Up Now. Your SSN will be required. Secondly, confirm your SAT or ACT score qualifies for the waiver. Step three requires you to contact ACT >> or SAT >> to request that your official score be sent to the Illinois State Board of Education, Licensure Division, 100 North First Street, S-306, Springfield, IL 62777. Be prepared for a nominal fee that is usually charged for sending an official score. Step four is to ensure the score report has been accepted.

Corrosion control pipe wrap tape is a surface protection tape that is characterized by resistance to sun, oil, acids, water, alkalis, and corrosive chemicals. Corrosion control tape is also used for electrical protection, they protect conduit coupling and pipe joints, and they are used for direct or overhead buried applications. Other tape characteristics are abrasion resistance and fungus resistance.
An example of such a tape is the Shurtape PW-100 Corrosion Control Pipe Wrap Tape. The tape is coated with a rubber adhesive. It is carried on a polyvinyl chloride (PVC) film backing. It has a thickness of 10 mils, its adhesion to stainless steel is 20 ounces per inch, its longitudinal tensile strength is 32 pounds per inch, and its dielectric strength is 1250 volts.
Another type of pipe tape is the self-fusing tape (like Nashua 386 Stretch & Seal). As the term suggests, this tape fuses to its own backing when wrapped tightly around an object like a pipe. When applying these tapes make sure they overlap back onto themselves since they only adheres to their own backing. FindTape.com is a good source for information and specifications about pipe tape, corrosion control tape, and self-fusing tape.
To find specific information about each type of tape, simply hove your pointer over the product image and click on the "Quick View" button. Compare product by clicking on the check box of two or more products then click the orange Compare Checked Products button. Use this information together with specifications for your piping to help you find the right tape for the job. Contact us if you need further assistance. We are happy to help in any way we can.

Obama Votes "Present" On Palestinian Funding
If there's one thing that Obama has done throughout his political career, it's avoiding hard choices (and avoiding responsibility for Bad Things along with Blamestorming, but that's a different story). More often than not he votes "present". When it comes to dealing with the aftermath of the vote at the United Nations granting the Palestinians non-member observer status Mr. Obama has done what he does best: vote present, or, as The Hill terms it, punts
The White House won't seek to punish the Palestinian Authority for this week's statehood vote at the United Nations, but did not vow to veto pending legislative proposals to cut off U.S. aid in retaliation.
The U.N. General Assembly voted 138-9 on Thursday to recognize the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) as a non-member observer state, over the strident objections of the United States and Israel. In response, the Senate is expected to vote next week on legislation placing new restrictions on the $600 million in annual U.S. aid to the Palestinian Authority.
Questions about repercussions are "better directed at the Congress than at us," State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said Friday. She said the State Department is still trying to release $495 million in pending funds for fiscal year 2012 that were held up following the Palestinians' failed effort last year to become a full member of the U.N.
This allows Obama to keep his hands clean over whatever legislation comes out of the Senate, which is looking to place huge restrictions on the support money the Palestinians receive. The legislation would cut the funds off if the Palestinians attempt to use the International Criminal Court to go after Israel. No matter which way the vote goes, Obama can stay above the fray, especially since a good chunk of the Democratic base supports the Palestinians and hates Israel.
I have an idea: instead of spending $600 million a year on a terrorist nation, why not spend it on, as Obama says, "nation building here at home"? Liberals were whining about the bridge that collapsed in New Jersey yesterday, and about how money needed to be spent on infrastructure (not like there wasn't a Stimulus program or something): that money could go a long way. Same if we cut of the funds to the United Nations.
"We will also continue to try to support the Palestinian Authority" Victoria Nuland said, "because this money supports their … ability to administer the territories, provide security, and take care of the needs of the Palestinian people, who we continue to believe need our support, need the international community's support."
Well, let the international community fund the terrorist "nation". Let them pay the bulk of the money to areas that produce virtually nothing by terrorists, suicide bombers, and missile launches against Israeli civilians. They actually do have some small amount of real products. Perhaps if the Palestinians spent their time developing their agricultural, soap, textiles, and other products instead of their terrorist activities real peace could be achieved.

Hang tight!
Recipe by Judy Spence
"This has got to be the tastiest and the most moist cornbread I have ever made. It is the most requested thing I cook, so I am sharing it. Don't let the ingredients fool you. It's unbelievable."
Watch video tips and tricks
1 cup
butter, melted
1 cup
white sugar
1 (15 ounce) can
cream-style corn
1/2 (4 ounce) can
chopped green chile peppers, drained
1/2 cup
shredded Monterey Jack cheese
1/2 cup
shredded Cheddar cheese
1 cup
all-purpose flour
1 cup
yellow cornmeal
4 teaspoons
baking powder
1/4 teaspoon
We couldn't get enough of this cornbread. I just took it out of the oven 15 minutes ago and it is half gone! I cut down the butter to only 6 tablespoons and the sugar to 1/3 cup. I also added extra jalepenos and cheese and a dash of cayenne pepper. It turned out perfect - moist but not greasy and very flavorful.
This is the first review that I have written and unfortunately it has to be a negative one. I should have read the other reviews. Of course this was moist, it was the greasiest thing I have ever made and by just touching the bread, it stuck to my hands. This recipe includes way too much fat to be necessary...the butter is overboard and fat free cheese is okay...I also added corn niblets. I made this for the Fourth of July but ended up having to make another batch from BETTER HOMES & GARDENS COOKBOOK (excellent moist and firm recipe by the way!) the morning of the BBQ. this was a huge, disappointment. Especially since this is my first problem with a recipe on this site.

I followed this recipe to the "T" and it had WAY too much butter in it! it should of had at least half of what it called for. hubby said it was good but way too greasy and refused to eat the rest of that BIG pan so it got thrown away, so be careful about the butter it was way too greasy
This bread was fantastic. I read all the other reviews and decided to cut the butter in half. Also, instead of 1 cup of sugar, I added only 3/4 cups and it came out wonderfully. I served it with other Mexican food and this was a hit to all of my guests. It was even better then next day after all the flavors melded. This one can be made ahead. I am keeping it and passing it on. I had several people ask me for the recipe.
Oh my!!! Way too much butter.... A 1/2 cup of butter was sufficient and the bread was still moist. Added diced red peppers, 1/2 tsp onion powder and corn OFF the cob that had been grilled. To give the bread more complexity and a little more zip, use Pepperjack cheese in place of the Monterey Jack.
My husband loved this cornbread. I didn't have any cornmeal so I just used 2 boxes of Jiffy corn bread mix. I made the cornbread up like on the box and added the cheeses and chiles. Turned out great! Thanks for the recipe.
This is the best! I substituted the last four ingredients for Jiffy Brand cornbread mix and added a pinch of onion and garlic powders. Easy and VERY delicious.
This is the BEST cornbread recipie i've come across!!!...I made it for my friends at work and they couldn't get enough of it!!!!...If you like a sweet, but not TOO sweet corn bread that is oh so moist, THIS is it!!!!!

Grants Pass, Ore. -- Josephine County Sheriff Gil Gilbertson accuses commissioner Simon Hare of telling him he would transfer money away from the sheriff's department to convince voters to pass a public safety levy in 2012.
Commissioner Hare denied that and told NBC 5 News partner, the Grants Pass Daily Courier he doesn't recall that conversation, and doing that wouldn't even be possible.
According Gilbertson, Hare said he was going to take $500,000 from the sheriff's department and allocate the funds to the district attorney and juvenile justice, in an effort to convince voters to pass a public safety levy.
According to Rosemary Padgett, Josephine County's financial officer, what Gilbertson alleges isn't even possible, only the entire board of commissioners could do that.
Padgett says the county did move money back into the sheriff's department, but only after the public safety levy failed.
The war of words picked up steam last week, after the Grants Pass Daily Courier published a story about the allegations.
Gilbertson says he felt like their story questioned the accuracy of his statements, so he took action.
"I decided to pay for a polygraph, a lie detector test," Gilbertson said.
Gilbertson says he passed that test.
As both men come up for re-election next week, voters in Josephine County will also consider another public safety levy.

The large crane's primary wintering grounds – the grounds where they feed and hangout while escaping the bitter cold of the North – is along the Texas Gulf Coast in the Aransas Wildlife Refuge.
The Aransas Wildlife Refuge is located in parts of Aransas, Refugio and Calhoun counties and is about 115,000 acres. The refuge is overseen by the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service.
Wade Harrell, U.S. whooping crane recovery coordinator, on Friday, Feb. 8, said a survey was in the works, and new numbers would be available in a week or so.
However, the survey is only of the whooping cranes in the survey area – primarily the Aransas Wildlife Refuge. It does not cover birds outside the area.
Harrell said the whooping cranes have begun ranging to find new areas to winter in.
He mentioned Matagorda County, San Jose Island and Granger Lake northeast of Austin.
Ten whoopers were spotted and confirmed to be wintering at Granger Lake on Feb. 4.
"This is a response to resources," Harrell said.
The refuge's resources and area are probably maximized because of drought and the increasing number of the birds.
"This winter, we are still low on fresh water resources, and we are trying to mitigate," Harrell said.
Ground water from reworked water wells are being used to push fresh water into the habitat. The fresh water enhances the growth of the food whooping cranes feed on.
Harrell said the numbers of the flock will probably be similar to last winter's numbers.
"It may be a little higher," he said.
Last winter, the flock suffered from the drought and a lack of resources and had diminished to about 245 birds from 280 birds.
Harrell said, however, the health of the flock is better ensured because it is ranging for resources.
"It's a good sign for the health of the flock in the long run because they are using a lot larger range," he said.
"We continue to see the expansion of the wintering range. They are off-and-on spotted."
Harrell said the larger range will help the whooping crane survive during catastrophic occurrences such as hurricanes.
For now, the birds are readying to fly back to their nesting grounds.
"They will be leaving early to mid-March," Harrell said.
"It's not a mass migration. It's a trickle effect," he added.
And this time, some of the birds will be tracked with GPS bands.
"We marked 12 birds in the Aransas Wildlife Refuge. We'll learn a lot more about their life cycle, where they stop to rest; and they move a lot more during the winter than we knew," he said.
"This is a positive thing."
Harrell said the refuge is in its second year with tracking partners, including the Canadian Wildlife Service, Crane Trust, U.S. Geological Survey, Platte River Recovery Implementation Program and the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service.
