Obamas Unseemly End-Zone Dance (JEWISH PRESS OP-ED) By: Rabbi Shmuley Boteach 05/09/12)
Source: http://www.jewishpress.com/indepth/opinions/obamas-unseemly-end-zone-dance/2012/05/09/?hpcr
JEWISH PRESS Articles-Index-Top
What a difference a year makes. Last year I praised President Obama for not wanting to spike the football by releasing gruesome death photos of Osama bin Laden. But this year, forget spiking the football the president is doing an end-zone dance.
The Bible says that when someone incurs the death penalty and his body is hanged on a tree as an example to others, he still must be buried the same day. Were not to desecrate the body of even the most vicious killer because God created humans in His image. So America had no need to put out pictures of bin Laden missing a part of his cranium. The president last year stood by this and it was impressive.
And Proverbs 24 expressly forbids celebrating the death of our enemies. Do not rejoice when your enemy falls and let not your heart be glad when he stumbles. We fight bad guys like bin Laden because we have an obligation to protect the innocent by resisting the wicked. But we dont gloat in it. War should never be about winning glory but protecting innocent life.
The obligation to protect the weak and punish their butchers is famously conveyed in Leviticus 19: Do not stand idly by the blood of your neighbor, and again in Psalm 82, Rescue the weak and needy; Deliver them out of the hand of the wicked.
Osama bin Laden was evil personified. We had a moral obligation to abhor him, as the Bible makes clear in Amos: Hate the evil and love the good. But while feelings of revulsion were justified, feelings of elation at his demise were not. This too President Obama understood last year and I praised him for it.
But all that has changed with his current victory dance.
Were in an election year. I get it. But that doesnt mean our morals should change. What was particularly strange was the presidents inviting NBC TV into the Situation Room, which had never before been penetrated by network cameras. There he spoke about how tough his decision had been to send in the SEALs to get bin Laden.
I am a huge fan of the mostly moral foreign policy of George W. Bush which largely held tyrants accountable for slaughtering their people. I contrast this with Obamas lack of response after Ahmadinejad killed his own people; his leading from behind on Libya (even though in the end he did the right thing); his lack of leadership in the Arab Spring; and his failure to do much of anything in Syria.
But even Bush stumbled when he prematurely plastered Mission Accomplished on an aircraft carrier in May 2003. The same was true when Bush used words like dead or alive about bin Laden. The pursuit of glory in battle nearly always ends badly.
The American way is not to gloat in war. It was summed up by Colin Powell in a brilliant speech at the MTV Global Discussion in February 2002: Far from being the Great Satan, I would say that we are the Great Protector. We have sent men and women from the armed forces of the United States to other parts of the world throughout the past century to put down oppression. We defeated Fascism. We defeated Communism. We saved Europe in World War I and World War II . And when all those conflicts were over, what did we do? Did we stay and conquer? No . We built them up. We gave them democratic systems which they have embraced totally to their soul. And did we ask for any land? No, the only land we ever asked for was enough land to bury our dead. And that is the kind of nation we are.
This uniquely humble American ethos stems largely from Judeo- Christian ethics. We Jews have suffered more than most. But we stubbornly refuse to celebrate the demise of our enemies or any military triumph. King David is Judaisms most famous warrior. Yet Davids request to build the Holy Temple was expressly denied by God because he had taken life, even in the defense of life: But God said to me, You shall not build a house for My name, because you have been a man of war and have shed blood (1 Chronicles 28).
Indeed, the great king was celebrated by generations of Jews not for dispatching enemy combatants but for his beautiful Psalms accompanied by harp and lyre.
Chanukah celebrates the miraculous military victory of the Maccabees over the Assyrian Greeks in the second century BCE. But it was the miracle of the lights of the menorah the Jews chose to emphasize rather than the necessary slaughter of enemy soldiers in self-defense.
Even on Passover, as we recite the Ten Plagues that culminated in the killing of the Egyptian firstborn, we pour wine out of our glasses so as not to revel in the demise of our enemies. The prophet Ezekiel expressed it best. As I live, says the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but that the wicked turn from their ways and live.

Wale creates song for Robert Griffin III documentary
Wale is lending his talents to Washington Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin The Third.
The rapper recorded a song called "No Pain No Gain" for an upcoming documentary about the football star called "RG-3: The Will to Win."
Wale tells HipHopWired.com that on the track he did his best to "speak for" Griffin. While creating the song, the rapper says he tried to "get inside of Robert's mind," and to imagine what he would rap about.
Wale also explains that getting involved with the documentary was a "no-brainer" because he's a "big supporter" of Griffin and "what he stands for."
The rapper - who first started following Griffin's career while he was still in college - says he never thought his hometown team would draft RGIII.
"RGIII: The Will To Win" will air on August 27th on ESPN.

Visit the Bureau of Meteorology website for an up-to-date weather forecast.
In good weather
Don't forget to be sun smart and pack some sunscreen and hats. If you forget, our Zoo shops carry a variety of hats and sunscreens. Also remember to bring a camera, as the Zoo has some breathtaking views of Sydney Harbour – learn why they call Taronga the "Zoo with the View"!
In wet weather
Pack an umbrella and don't let wet weather spoil your day. If you forget, don't worry, as our Zoo shops carry a range of wet-weather gear, including Taronga Zoo-branded ponchos and umbrellas.
Our elephants love to swim while it's raining, and be sure to explore the indoor sights, such as Australia's Nightlife, the new Tasmanian Devil exhibit and the Platypus House.
Some of Taronga's animals thrive in the rain, so be sure to visit the Rainforest Aviary and Great Southern Oceans!
In high wind
Our Sky Safari may not operate during high winds for safety reasons, but be sure to catch the QBE Free Flight Bird Show as many of the stars delight in the extra lift of fresh winds!
On very hot days
Some animals may be less active as they look for shade, but be sure to visit the female elephants and calves which often swim beneath the waterfall or wallow in the mud as they cool off!
Animals are most active early in the morning, so avoid the crowds by coming to the Zoo as it opens to catch the animals when they are energetic after their morning feeds.

Discussion in 'NFL Zone' started by Risen Star, Jan 14, 2013.
No idea, it could very well go to Wilson. This year is definitely a closer race than previous years.
Opinions do not equal Facts.
Wonder why you did not throw out the RBs to support your opinions. Why did you not mention that all of the RBs in a colts uniform combined did not put up the numbers of one Lynch or one Morris.
Morris and Lynch were the number 2 and 3 rushing RBs in the nfl only below Adrian Peterson.
Morris with 1600+
Lynch with 1500+
Now you add all of the RBs totals (that is 4 RBs and one FB) and you still are only at 1378 rushing yards.
It is amazing what a young QB can do how and how much it helps the passing game when they have a reliable running back to hand the ball off to.
One other thing...Morris made a name for himself at RB with a stellar showing. Lynch already had a name for himself due to his career.
Unless someone watches the colts a great deal or goes and looks it up...most will not even know the name of the leading RB for the colts.
So...opinions do not equal facts.
I did mention his team's lack of a running game, it doesn't explain away his inconsistent decision making from the pocket. The best you can say about that is he possibly may not had as a low a completion percentage and as many interceptions if he didn't have to throw as often. But we don't know that, because it didn't happen, and you can't base rookie of the year off a woulda, coulda, shoulda argument.
I'm not saying Luck isn't a good quarterback. He is good, and IMO, he's going to be an all-pro one day. But I can't take my opinion of what he will be in the future and award him rookie of the year when two other players outperformed him.
1. Why does anyone care what mel kiper says anyway?
2. Luck had no running game. He was asked to throw the ball downfield without play action. He had to run a full blown nfl playbook. He had no defense so he had to pass the ball a lot. No competition for roty imo.
3. I trust bill polian on claibornes performance more than mel kiper...
Nobody had the turnover of the Colts. At one point over 40 of the 60 or so players on their roster and PS weren't there a year ago.
Luck was surrounded by rookies and ran a big boy offense. He got hit more than any QB in football. No rookie QB was asked to do more.
They were 1-15 before him. 11-5 this year. Not with the 1st ranked rushing game in the league. The 22nd ranked. There just isn't a comparison of which QB has done more this year.
The best part of this is the gap will only increase from here. He's head and shoulders better than that athlete in Washington. It's an absolute insult to compare him to Luck.
how about we take into consideration
1) passes attempted by each (in conjunction with interceptions)
2) running game
Because he forgot more than you know.
There are many people on this forum that were following ( and becoming fans of) RG3 long before most Redskin fans had ever even heard his name.
And there were people on this forum who thought he was a vastly overrated pro prospect long before the Redskins made the trade up to get him.
That's right.
The point was that he was making it out to be a Cowboy vs Redskin agenda thing and, in this case, it is not.
I certainly believe that was so, especially since he's a Texas boy. I didn't hear about him until 2010, and wasn't impressed enough to want my team to draft him until late in 2011.
I am not saying everyone here is biased against him, not at all. I've seen quite a few with an open opinion of his rookie year and have shouted down the know-nothings that don't even understand how his offense works. In fact, I've found more knowledgeable and honest members here than at the Giants and Eagles boards I frequent. Which is why I post here so often.
This is the problem stats, they dont tell the whole story. I dont think he will win it, but Luck deserves to be the MVP. Take RBIII or Wilson off their teams and they could still win 8 games with those running games and defenses, the Colts would be lucky to win 4 games without Luck.
Jenkins and Zietler.
but this is all after the fact!!!
no one could have predicted that!!!
oh wait...
many people did
I think there are a number of reasons RW is more deserving than RG3 or Luck. I don't think anyone can dispute that if you include playoffs RW had the best season without much debate. People love to talk about how much help Russell had in Seattle, but IMO he had the least talented overall receiving core. Sidney Rice hasn't been impressive since moving to Seattle and Golden Tate doesn't scare anyone. The guy improved every single game and SHREDDED the niners at the end of the season, which was the most impressive win by a rookie IMO. In Atlanta he carried the team on his back to a near upset without much help at all from the running game.
Luck won a lot of games, which is nice, but look at the teams he beat. Other than winning against GB and the Texans at home (and the texans were not playing good ball at that point) none of his victories are very impressive.
He threw for a lot of yards but he also threw the ball 627 times yet threw fewer TDs and more Ints than Wilson. You are not going to convince me that Russell couldn't have put up similar numbers if he was allowed to chuck it around like that. (RW threw the ball 393 times). Like I said earlier Luck has the most potential of all these guys but you don't award people based off potential. Not to mention who really got pumped up to play the colts this season? They got to play the underdog role all year with low expectations for the team.
Interestingly, RG3 and RW both threw the ball 393 times in the regular season. Both had running games with similar levels of success. RW had 6 more Tds and one more Int. RG3 threw for 200 more yards. Russell Wilson won 1 more game than RG3 in the regular season. In my opinion the redskins offense seemed less open than seattle's, especially as the season progressed and RW was let of his leash in Seattle. It seemed many of RG3's successful throws were quick passes with a lot of YAC. I think by the time the playoffs rolled around RW grew a lot more that RG3. Just watch the Seatle-Was playoff game, RG3 was staring down his primary target practically every time he threw.
I suspect RG3 will win the award, but I think RW is most deserving.
If you want to leave stats out of it, let's look at what RGIII did for the Redskins, and the whole DC area (minus the few Cowboys fans). I think everyone, Skins and Cowboys fans alike, will agree that the Skins had fallen to Cleveland like proportions of epic failure. The Skins haven't had a qb since, well, a long time. When was the last time the Colts franchise was in the playoffs? Seattle? How many times for each.
I also wonder, don't know, who in the Colts played the bigger role in the team's inspiration for Pagano's health, I tend to give that credit to Arians, because Luck doesn't inspire me whenever I hear him, and my only in person experience with him was at Fedex in the preseason. Griffin sat and signed autographs for ever and a day, Luck when he went in before and after the game completely ignored the Colts fans that were cheering to him, even some other Colts stopped and signed autographs for their fans.
I really would understand if RW wins it, I don't think he had the impact (non-stats) as RGIII, but he was a classy leader, who played the underdog role to perfection.
I think that's a fair assessment. I don't know about RGIII in the playoff game, I would have to see it again, but clearly after he tweaked his knee, his performance went to 0.
None of that means that Claiborne is a bad player or a bad pick.
I don't have a problem with you choosing Wilson. But in comparing Wilson to Griffin later in the season, you have to remember Griffin's injury hindered him in those last three games. Griffin did NOT stare at his target every time he threw, but he did do so much more in that game than I'd seen him do all season.
And there are still people on this forum that won't let results get in the way of their preconceptions.
RGIII led the league in yards per pass attempt and yards per rush. He has the highest passer rating among rookies in ... ever? Wilson gave it a good run at the end, but ROTY is an easy choice.

Is there such a thing as gender-neutral baby clothes? A young woman has been trying to buy gifts for friends, and everything is either pink or blue, filled with ruffles or images of sporting goods. Are there any alternatives?
Dear Miriam,
Is there such a thing as gender-neutral baby clothes? I'm trying to buy gifts for friends who are expecting, and everything is either pink or blue, covered with ruffles or covered with phrases like, "Mommy's tough guy." I'm years away from having kids myself, but it freaks me out to think that kids have such gendered expectations put on them from birth.
Seeing Green
Dear Green,
When I found out my second child was going to be a boy, I went through all my daughter's clothes to pull out the gender neutral ones. I ended up with a pair of gray pants, a sleeper with owls on it, several white onesies and an orange shirt I later realized had a pink bow on it. It would not be paranoid to suggest that all children's clothing designers got together and made some sort of pact dictating how our children should dress. The exception is newborn clothes where, if you are brazen enough not to find out the sex of your child in advance, you're allowed to prepare for the birth anyway by purchasing yellow or green clothes.
Boys' clothes tend to be more muted, and girls' clothes are often brightly colored to the point of being blinding. Girls get pink, purple and glitter, while boys get a whole lot of navy blue and brown. The gender distinctions go beyond just colors, too. From my very unscientific exploration of this subject, it seems as though the animals featured on clothes are divided by gender, too. Girls' clothes have cats, birds and bunnies. Boys' clothes have whales, tigers and dinosaurs. Ducks, being yellow, and frogs, being green, are prominently featured on newborn gender-neutral items. Butterfly = girls, caterpiller = boys. Monkeys, dogs and teddy bears get equal representation, but some have bows in their hair. Girls' clothes feature cupcakes, boys' feature monsters. Girls get balloons, boy get trucks.
You can, of course, ignore these societal pressures and dress your kid (or your friends' kids) however you want, but it's way more complicated than that. My daughter, when wearing her robot tee shirt, gets mistaken for a boy, but the correction gets laughed off with a tomboy label. When I accidentally left the house with my son covered in a pink blanket, the reactions were much more accusatory and bordering on ridicule.
Another factor seems to be that the more afforadable, more readily available clothes follow these gender "rules" very diligently, maybe even define the rules, while harder-to-find, more expensive brands break the rules a bit more. One brand that I especially like is Zutano, which has a whole gender neutral section on its website. The stuff is adorable, but it's certainly beyond the Carter's price point. (Full-price Carter's, by the way, is not actually so cheap, but you should never pay full-price, since TJMaxx, Marshall's, Burlington, etc, always have an extensive selection.) If finding gender-neutral clothing is a priority for you, though, and especially if you're giving one or two items as a gift instead of furnishing a kid's wardrobe for an entire childhood, some diligent shopping or googling will yield some good options. Just look for the green teddy bear riding a truck while eating a cupcake.
Be well,

Jill Abramson fired from the Times: Was it about money and sexism - or management style?
On Tuesday, Jill Abramson was executive editor of The New York Times, 33 months into her tenure as the first woman to run the Times newsroom in the paper's 161-year history.
Less than a day later, Abramson, 60, is no longer even an employee of the Times, having been fired with little warning by Publisher Arthur Sulzberger Jr. for reasons he vaguely described as an effort to "improve some aspects of the management of the newsroom."
In remarks at the Times's Midtown Manhattan headquarters to hundreds of shocked editors, reporters and other employees, including Times Co. chief executive Mark Thompson—but not Abramson—Sulzberger named managing editor Dean Baquet, 57, as her successor, effective immediately.
Baquet's appointment is at least as historic as Abramson's was: He is the first African American to serve as top editor of the nation's most influential news outlet.
"The mood overall seemed like shock, really. I think we were all kind of blindsided," said a Times insider who attended Sulzberger's surprise announcement, adding that people inside the paper were asking the same questions as those outside: Why? and Why now?
Abramson—who didn't return a phone call seeking comment--clearly intended to hold the job for another five years, until she reached the mandatory retirement age of 65. "They're gonna have to take me out feet first," she told this reporter for a Newsweek magazine profile, "or chop off my head."
It seems the latter has occurred. Thus a corporate guillotine ended a stellar career at the Times, which Abramson joined in 1997, serving as Washington bureau chief and managing editor after two decades at such publications as Time magazine, The American Lawyer, and The Wall Street Journal.
Apparently Abramson had no reason to believe her job was in jeopardy until this past weekend, when Sulzberger began talking to her about making a change.
Only nine months ago, Sulzberger invited Newsweek to breakfast with chief executive Thompson in order to show conspicuous support for Abramson, who had been the subject of a negative story in Politico that asserted that her editorship was already a failure, and that her abrasive manner had alienated so many Timesemployees that she was "on the verge of losing the support of the newsroom."
Insisting that Abramson was an editor who "has got leadership" in her portfolio of talents, Sulzberger declared then: "Let's agree that all of us are human, and all of us have our faults and our flaws. And when you're looking for someone to be a leader, one of the things you're looking for is self-awareness. Not to suggest you're looking for perfection, because you're not going to find that, but for someone who says, 'Well, yeah, I can be that way; I'm focused on it; I recognize it.' "

I want to crack my WEP
I have a card like this:
I run BT4 at VirtualBox on Vista. I selected my card like this:
I did /etc/init.d/networking start and I can ping google (my host os is connected).
I managed to mount CD, copy and extract 2009_0302_RT2870_Linux_STA_v126.96.36.199.tar.bz2
Do I have to copile it? All I've done is
cp RT2870STA.dat /etc/Wireless/RT2870STA/RT2870STA.dat
iwconfig returns
iwpriv returns
airmon-ng start ra0 returns
now's the problem
I doesn't show any networks while my windows adapter shows many.
What did I miss or did wrong? Did copying install driver? Do I have to compile it to make it work?
Do I have to bridge connections with my host os to crack wep ?
I wonder how you can get some AP. Because in VM i cant launch the card in monitor mode airmon-ng not sew it but i can see in usd devices my card. Maybe you try in network connections in VM use the bridge options at place of the NAT.
personally if i was going to go and play with wep "been there done that in '06" i wouldn't start networking in bt4. I'd also make sure that i don't have dhclient running because it wants your cards in managed mode, and sometimes it can block airmon-ng's ability to put cards in monitor mode. Its easier just to ifconfig interface up. airmon-ng start interface. or..if you want to really make it easy..use gerix wifi cracker...but you won't learn anything.
bt4newbuser only way you can do that stuff is if you connect to your usb wifi adapter in vmware and enable it, search the forums you man and the answers you will find

CHENGDU, China – Today Qatar Airways further expanded its operations in China with the launch of scheduled flights to Chengdu, the airline's sixth destination to China.
Flight QR884 arrived at Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport to an impressive water salute, following its non-stop journey from the airline's operational hub in Doha, capital of the State of Qatar. All passengers and operating crew of the maiden flight received a warm welcome from the airport officials.
The new thrice weekly flights now join Qatar Airways' five other Chinese gateways - Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Hong Kong and Chongqing – for a total of 41 flights per week.
Qatar Airways' maiden flight to Chengdu receives a warm welcome at the city's international airport earlier today
"Qatar Airways saw an immense potential to operate in Chengdu, which is set to play a critical role in the next wave of economic development in Western China," said Qatar Airways Chief Executive Officer, Akbar Al Baker.
"It's hardly a surprise, therefore, that nearly half of the world's Fortune 500 companies have opened offices in the city, and that Chengdu is aiming to become China's fastest growing aviation hub."
The new Chengdu flights represent the significance of China's growing economy in the worldwide context. Significant industries in Chengdu include: electronics and information; machinery, particularly automotive and aerospace parts; medicine; food and tobacco processing; metallurgy; and petroleum.
"Qatar Airways is delighted to launch our latest gateway in China," continued Al Baker. "The opening of Chengdu shows our commitment to a vibrant and flourishing economy in the country's next key economic and transportation hub. We remember fondly in 2011 when we launched Chongqing, offering the first non-stop route from Western China to the Middle East. We are extremely honoured to have another opportunity to contribute to this thriving region yet again."
Chengdu becomes the 130th destination in the Qatar Airways global network, and now adds to over 15% of the airline's routes which fly across Asia.
The Chengdu route is operated with an Airbus A330 in a two-class configuration of up to 248 seats in Economy and 36 in Business Class. The aircraft features seatback TV screens providing all passengers in both cabins with the next generation interactive onboard entertainment system – a choice of more than 900 audio and video on demand options.
Added Al Baker: "2013 has been a fantastic year for Qatar Airways and today we expand to eight new routes since this January. Over the next few years, we will increase our global footprint, providing greater travel options for business and leisure passengers, taking them to key business markets, holiday hotspots and underserved regions around the world."
Flight schedules, between Chengdu and Doha, are as follows:
DOHA – CHENGDU: 3-times-a-week, effective September 3, 2013
Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays
QR884 Depart Doha at 0200 hrs Arrive Chengdu at 1430 hrs
CHENGDU– DOHA: 3-times-a-week, effective September 3, 2013
Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays
QR885 Depart Chengdu at 0100 hrs Arrive Doha at 0350 hrs
Qatar Airways has seen rapid growth in just 16 years of operations, currently flying a modern fleet of 129 aircraft to 130 key business and leisure destinations worldwide.
Qatar Airways has so far launched eight destinations this year – Gassim (Saudi Arabia), Najaf (Iraq), Phnom Penh (Cambodia), Chicago (USA), Salalah (Oman), Basra (Iraq), Sulaymaniyah (Iraq) and Chengdu, China.
Over the next few months, the network will expand with the addition of further destinations – Addis Ababa, Ethiopia (September 18), Ta'if, Saudi Arabia (October 2), Clark International Airport, Philippines (October 27) and Philadelphia, USA (April 2, 2014).
Notes to Editors:
Qatar Airways was presented with three honours at the annual Skytrax 2013 World Airline Awards held during the Paris Air Show at Le Bourget, France in June. The airline was awarded World's Best Business Class, World's Best Business Class Lounge and, for the second consecutive year, Best Airline Staff Service in the Middle East. The airline has also been named Best Airline in the Middle East for the seventh year in a row, and its Premium Terminal at Doha International Airport named Best Premium Service Airport for the third consecutive year in 2013. Qatar Airways has also twice been recipient of the prestigious Skytrax Airline of the Year Award in 2011 and 2012.
Skytrax is the only global independent passenger survey monitoring airline standards and is considered the ultimate benchmark for excellence in the airline industry.
Qatar Airways currently has orders worth over US$50 billion for more than 250 aircraft, including Boeing 787s, 777s, Airbus A350s, A380s and A320 family of aircraft. Qatar Airways will become the first of the major Gulf carriers to join a global alliance having been invited into the oneworld group. For more information, visit www.qatarairways.com

- INTERPOL Warsaw
Member since :
7 September 1923
The mandate of the Polish National Police is: To serve and protect the people of Poland and to maintain public order and security.
- Protect people's health, life and property;
- Ensure public safety and law and order;
- Create and organize "community policing" and crime prevention activities;
- Detect and investigate crime and arrest the suspected perpetrators;
- Ensure security in public spaces;
- Co-operate with police forces across the world.
Part of the Ministry of Interior, the Polish National Police is a uniformed and armed force made up of criminal, patrol and support services.
With the strength of almost 100,000 men and women, there are 16 regional police headquarters, a Metropolitan police headquarters (which also acts as a regional headquarters), 329 district headquarters and 2,072 police stations in Poland.
There is an International Police Cooperation Bureau within the National Police headquarters, which in turn acts as the INTERPOL National Central Bureau (NCB) for Poland.
INTERPOL Warsaw
The INTERPOL National Central Bureau for Poland is an essential national platform linking the Polish police with international law enforcement for the exchange of criminal information and for carrying out international police investigations.
As part of a strategy to boost national security and prevent criminal activity in Poland, INTERPOL Warsaw recently integrated INTERPOL's databases into the Polish police network called PSTD, thus giving police across the country instant and automated access to INTERPOL's global databases. This gives them critical data on wanted persons, vehicles and stolen and lost travel documents (SLTD) in a matter of seconds. With this new capacity, Poland police officers in the field can quickly determine if a person is a potential threat to national security.

As noted in Federal Investigations Notice 00-03, OPM implemented the first phase of the Fingerprint Transaction System (FTS) on November 29, 1999. On that date we began to submit all of our fingerprint searches electronically to the Criminal Justice Information Services Division (CJIS) of the FBI. This was accomplished by OPM scanning all HardCard fingerprints at the Federal Investigations Processing Center (FIPC) in Boyers, PA and converting them into electronic images. The fingerprint images and the subject's demographic data are then sent electronically via a wide area network (WAN) to CJIS. The search results, and an arrest record (if one exists), are sent back through the WAN to the OPM FTS.
The second phase of our FTS is to allow our customer agencies to send electronic fingerprint submissions to OPM. The FTS is designed to accept electronic submissions from any FBI-approved LiveScan unit configured for electronic transmission to OPM. The attachment to this FIN outlines the requirements necessary to electronically submit to the FTS. The attachment may be shared with any FBI-approved vendor that you select to electronically submit to the FTS.
We are eager to work with our customers to enable electronic submissions to the FTS. If you have any questions about our FTS and how to electronically submit fingerprints, please contact the Program Services Office on 724-794-5612.

Posted: April 7, 2011
On April 7, 2010, we joined numerous agencies across the federal government in publishing our first-ever Open Government Plan. In it, we laid out specific milestones for increasing transparency, participation and collaboration at Social Security.
We have worked actively throughout the past year, carrying out key open government activities, including three Flagship Initiatives and other efforts to make Open Government (OG) more sustainable at Social Security. We've also taken steps to engage the public and other stakeholders and constituencies, to foster the use of the data we've released, and gain insight from them on new data needs. We'll continue these efforts as we move forward to carry out our plan.
Here's a timeline of just some of our achievements so far:
We head into the second year of our OG plan with some clear lessons from the first:
We've posted our Open Government Plan 2.0 update, which reflects our continuing commitment to the principles of openness and accountability. This refreshed plan includes additional input we received from Open Government stakeholders, the public and our employees; summarizes the progress we have made in implementing Open Government principles at our agency; and outlines additional commitments we expect to meet in the next two years.
Under certain circumstances, Social Security can provide a speaker to discuss our programs, benefits, and services. We provide speakers free of charge, and they are generally available during business hours only. Please note that we are not able to fulfill all requests.
If you are visually impaired or having other troubles using our engagements, please email us at firstname.lastname@example.com
The Social Security Administration is committed to creating an open and transparent government through the following initiatives:

Eva Longoria
After relatively brief appearances on The Young and the Restless and L.A. Dragnet (the modern remake of the classic drama), Eva scored big as sexy Gabrielle Solis on ABC's Desperate Housewives. The prime-time soap opera-style series rocketed to the top of the ratings, and those who had never seen Eva before began taking notice. A "hot new face" according to USA Today, Variety and TV Guide, Longoria is one of the finest women to have made it to the top in 2004.
AppealEva Longoria had us with one gaze from her big hazelnut eyes and a smile from her delicate mouth. It doesn't help that her legs -- perfectly bronzed, of course -- are to die for, and that she has a body that makes her role as a former model believable (OK, except for her 5'3" frame).
Her openness about her sexuality only makes her that much more desirable. With her long, dark hair, model-like face and curvaceous body, Eva Longoria is one wildfire we'd like to put out. She possesses the sexy features typical of Latin women, including an appreciation for wild sex. Eva has the figure and attitude to flaunt herself like a Playboy model, and so far, she has done just that.
SuccessEva Longoria's first big breakthrough came in 2001, when she was cast as Isabella Brana Williams on The Young and the Restless. After two years on the daytime soap opera, she took on the role of Detective Gloria Duran on L.A. Dragnet, opposite Ed O'Neill. In 2004, Eva starred as an eccentric psychic in the made-for-TV movie The Dead Will Tell, costaring Anne Heche.
Only after Eva Longoria put a slight twist to the stereotypical character of "sexy Latina" for ABC's Desperate Housewives did she really emerge as a star. As former runway model turned miserable wife Gabrielle Solis, Eva puts on a great show, mowing the lawn in lingerie and carrying on an affair with her 17-year-old gardener. As the drama received higher and higher ratings since its October 2004 debut, Eva received more and more media attention.
Some of this press was due to her recent divorce with General Hospital star Tyler Christopher and subsequent public appearances with former 'N Sync star JC Chasez. And as her romantic life took more of a public turn with hubby Tony Parker and Desperate Housewives continued to do well, Eva Longoria remained in the spotlight.
Eva Longoria BiographyBorn on March 15, 1975, in Corpus Christi, Texas, Eva Jacqueline Longoria is the youngest of four sisters. As surprising as this may seem, Eva was considered the "ugly duckling" of her family -- her siblings would tease her because she was the only one with dark eyes, dark hair and dark skin.
Growing up on a ranch in the southeastern Texas city, Eva Longoria was drawn to acting but kept up her studies throughout high school. Following graduation, she attended Texas A&M University-Kingsville and earned her Bachelor's in kinesiology.
eva longoria is miss corpus christiAs a college grad, Eva Longoria had intentions of pursuing a career in science, but her lingering feelings for the performing arts did not dissipate. As a result, she entered a talent contest that led her to Los Angeles. Once there, "Miss Corpus Christi 1998" -- an ugly duckling no more -- was spotted by a theatrical agent who signed her immediately.
Eva Longoria settled in L.A. and tried her hand at acting. Her agent got her an audition for the comedic play What the Rabbi Saw, which she nailed. After a string of performances in this show, she landed a guest appearance on Beverly Hills, 90210 in 2000.
eva in the young & the restlessStill trying to make it, Eva Longoria got her first big break in 2001. She landed a spot on the long-running soap opera The Young and the Restless as Isabella Brana Williams. During her two years on the show, Eva won an ALMA (American Latino Media Arts) Award for Outstanding Actress in a Daytime Drama.
eva longoria does hot tamales liveWith the Y&R exposure serving as a boost, Eva Longoria's career took off, albeit to a bumpy start. She starred in the film Snitch'd in 2003, a bomb about two rival gangs in Santa Ana, California. This was merely a hiccup on her resume, however, especially after Eva starred in and coproduced the hit live show Hot Tamales Live: Spicy, Hot and Hilarious. The variety show, which also aired on pay-per-view, was a hit.
Meanwhile, on the personal front, Eva Longoria married fellow soap opera star Tyler Christopher (of General Hospital fame) in 2002. During their brief marriage (they divorced in 2004), Eva's career reached new heights. In 2003, she landed the role of Detective Gloria Duran in Dick Wolf's L.A. Dragnet. Unfortunately, the show was short-lived, but its cancellation opened the door to bigger and better things.
eva longoria in desperate housewivesThough the future was unclear when Eva Longoria first auditioned for Desperate Housewives, her success was clear when the show debuted on ABC in October 2004. The scandalous prime-time satire about the scandal-laced lives of a group of sexy ladies in the suburbs attracted audiences immediately, and costarred Marcia Cross, Teri Hatcher, Nicollette Sheridan, Felicity Huffman, Brenda Strong, James Denton, Andrea Bowen, Joy Lauren, Shawn Pyfrom, Kathryn Joosten, and Dana Delany.
The careers of stars like Teri Hatcher and Nicollette Sheridan were resurrected, but it was Eva Longoria who took center stage as the hottest of all the housewives. During the show's first successful season in 2004, Eva Longoria divorced Tyler Christopher and hooked up with former 'N Sync star JC Chasez. As attention focused on Eva and her love life, publications began heaping on the praise: TV Guide and USA Today hyped her as a "hot new face of fall 2004," Maxim listed her as part of its "Hot 100" for 2004, and People en Espanol named her one of its "25 Most Beautiful People."
eva longoria in harsh timesEva Longoria also starred as a psychic in the 2004 made-for-TV movie The Dead Will Tell, and was cast as the lead in the 2004 film Carlita's Secret. And in 2006, Eva Longoria starred in Harsh Times with Christian Bale.
eva longoria is named no. 29 in 2008 top 99The following year, Eva Longoria became the face of Bebe Sport while also working for L'Oreal and Hanes. She also married NBA superstar Tony Parker. And with Desperate Housewives still going strong in 2008, Eva Longoria landed the No. 29 spot on AskMen.com's Most Desirable Women of 2008 list.
In November of 2010, Eva Longoria announced that she and Tony Parker would divorce.

Analyst: iPad Mini 2013 Shipments to Leave New iPad/iPad 2 in the Dust
Tiffany Kaiser
December 14, 2012 2:30 PM

Sender E-mail
(Source: gawkerassets.com)
Apple's iPad mini will make up about half of Apple's total iPad shipments in 2013
The fact that Apple's iPad is predicted to steal much of the tablet market share next year is no surprise; however, the fact that
the iPad mini
may outpace the iPad 2 and the new iPad is certainly interesting.
According to DisplaySearch, which is a global market research and consulting firm, Apple's iPad mini will make up about half of Apple's total iPad shipments in 2013.
Apple expects to ship a total of 100 million iPads in 2013. Out of that total, DisplaySearch predicts that the iPad mini will account for about 50 million of those shipments while the new iPad and the iPad 2 will ship about 40 million and 10 million respectively.
DisplaySearch further predicts that there will be a total of 170 million tablet shipments in 2013 (from all tablet makers, not just Apple). If Apple were to achieve the 100 million shipments, it would have about 60 percent of the market share.
For 2012, despite being released in October, the iPad mini is holding its own concerning sales. In Q3, Apple shipped 1.6 million, and for Q4, the tech giant is asking panel makers to ship over 12 million.
This is an interesting prediction, considering many saw the
iPad mini as being far too expensive
for a 7-inch tablet (starts at $329) when so many others in the 7-inch arena typically start at $199 (i.e., Google Nexus 7 and Kindle Fire HD).
The iPad mini was unveiled in late October of this year. It sports a 7.85-inch display, a
1024x768 resolution, dual-core A5 processor, 16GB/32GB/64GB storage options for $329/$429/$529 respectively, a lightning connector and LTE capabilities for an extra $130 to those sticker prices.

Miley Cyrus says she's #1 on Maxim Hot 100
Listen to Miley Cyrus on iHeartRadio
Miley Cyrus may have been ahead of herself on Saturday when she took to Twitter to drop a big piece of news. The singer thanked fans for making her this year's number one on Maxim's Hot 100 - but the gratitude was a bit premature, since the magazine has yet to reveal their annual list.
Didn't know this was coming out yet! I'm so happy to be #1 on Maxims HOT 100! #myfanskickass #dreamsdocometrue twitter.com/MileyCyrus/sta…— Miley Ray Cyrus (@MileyCyrus) May 4, 2013
Miley actually posted a photo with her announcement that appeared to be taken from the yet-to-be-released Maxim photo shoot. In the photo, the 20-year-old poses in a gold one-piece that matches her platinum blonde pixie. It follows a number of racy fashion spreads from Miley, most recently in V magazine and Elle UK.
The post was also her first one from social media site Instagram, which she joined over the weekend because she said she took the day off and was "bored."

Miranda Lambert believes Blake Shelton deserves CMA Entertainer title
Listen to Miranda Lambert on iHeartRadio | Listen to Blake Shelton on iHeartRadio
Miranda Lambert says husband Blake Shelton has certainly lived up to his CMA Entertainer of the Year title.
At the 47th annual Country Music Association Awards, which are coming up this week, Shelton could take the CMA's top prize for a second consecutive year. And Lambert tells "CMT Hot 20 Countdown" it'd be easy to justify giving it to him. She says Blake "really deserves to be in the spotlight right now," explaining that he's "making country music look great now on national television every week" through NBC's "The Voice."
Shelton and Lambert are each nominated in several categories heading into the event, including Male and Female Vocalist of the Year - which the country couple has made his-and-hers awards for the last three years.
Miranda says "all this great stuff's been happening" for her and Blake, but she hasn't really "been able to enjoy it" because there's "so much other stuff going on." Miranda adds that she's considering Googling herself to see just what she's accomplished recently.
The 47th annual CMA Awards will air live on ABC on Wednesday.

I like the zucchini to still have a tiny bit of crispness, and broilers can vary, so you may have to make this a couple of times to get the timing just right for your own taste. Luckily this delicious zucchini coated with melted Parmesan is so delicious that you won't mind experimenting, and if you have any kids in the house I promise they will gobble up the experiments!
(Parmesan Encrusted Zucchini was updated with better photos and improved instructions, September 2014.)
Parmesan Encrusted Zucchini
4 medium zucchini, about 8-10 inches long
olive oil, for misting zucchini (and for mixing with butter if desired)
1 tsp. Italian Herb Blend (or your favorite seasoning blend)
1-2 T butter, melted
3/4 cup coarsely grated Parmesan cheese, more or less to taste
Preheat the broiler and adjust the rack so your pan will be about 6 inches away from the heat. Spray a large baking sheet with olive oil or non-stick spray.
Wash zucchini skins and pat dry, cut off stem and blossom end of each zucchini, and cut zucchini into lengthwise strips; then cut away the inner seedy white part of each piece. Cut the zucchini pieces into strips about 3 inches long.
Arrange zucchini on broiler pan in rows, close together, skin side down. Mist or brush the zucchin with a tiny amount of olive oil and season the zucchini with the Italian Herb Blend (or your favorite seasoning blend). Broil zucchini about 6 minutes, or until it's starting to feel barely tender when you pierce it with a fork. (If your broiler is powerful I'd start checking after about 4 minutes. Remember the zucchini will cook more when you melt the cheese.)
When the zucchini is barely tender, remove the pan from under the broiler, brush zucchini with melted butter (or whatever combination of butter and olive oil you're using, and sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the zucchini, trying to get most of the zucchini covered.
Put zucchini under broiler and cook until cheese is completely melted and well-browned, about 6-8 minutes, or a little more or less, depending on how hot your broiler is and how close the pan is to the heat source. Serve hot or warm. There won't be any leftovers, so you don't need to worry about whether this will keep in the refrigerator.
South Beach Diet / Low-Carb Diet Suggestions:
This would be considered a "once in a while treat" for any phase of the South Beach Diet, due to the amount of saturated fat in the cheese (and butter if you're using), although zucchini is very low in calories, carbs, and fat. New studies about weight loss are showing that fat (even saturated fat) is not that much of a concern, so I probably wouldn't worry too much about the butter and cheese. It would also be great for most other low-carb diet plans.

I'm a member of a communal species. So are you. That's why you're reading this column. And that's why I got a call and an email after last week's article on bumblebees. "Wait!" a woman from Hamden said. "You wrote about underground nests. What about beehives?"
Honeybees are the ones you see gathering pollen on white clover blossoms and many other flowers. They're the ones that make hives together and store honey. A bumblebee is much bigger and furrier than a honeybee. They make their colonies down in the soil. These are only two of the 20,000 different species of bees in the world. Each kind has its own habits.
I'm human, so I'm in the habit of communicating with others. I am on the phone, email, Facebook, at meetings, or chatting with my family every day. I live in a colony of houses around Malley's Pond. (Some of my readers live in apartment "hives.") Our kids are educated in communally agreed-upon skills by special workers whose job is to care for the young. It begins to sound like life in a honeybee hive, doesn't it?
Like us, honeybees talk constantly. They use body language in their famous dances, telling their roommates exactly where to find nectar nearby. We all use body language, too, from the police officer directing traffic at the corner, to the teenager strutting past a pretty girl.
Honeybees also communicate with smell and taste. So do we, by perfuming our bodies with musky scents or citrusy, smell-assaults from Axe, or by painstakingly removing and covering all of our human scents. We even add another layer of communication as we choose what clothes to wear.
Life in our message-saturated world can get to be too much, sometimes. We yearn for a break from TV, the Internet, the phone and texts. How long could you stand silence, though? Could you live forever as a hermit? Not if you're reading this. Not if you're human. Some kinds of bees do lead solitary lives. Some live alone for entire generations.
Ninety-nine percent of all those 20,000 species of bees are solitary. There are probably some nesting -- alone -- near you. Look for them in packed dirt or sand, on a roadside or path, a beach, pond or river's edge. These females, having mated, dig a hole about the diameter of a pencil and lay an egg in it. Then they tuck in a "care package" of pollen by the egg, bury it and leave.
Down in the hole, the egg hatches into a larvae alone. He or she dines on the food nearby, pupates and digs its way out, unaided. It finds a mate -- briefly -- and repeats the cycle.
There are so many solitary bees that some have varied widely from the simplest life cycle. Most solitaries lay many eggs in the tunnel, each with its own private room and pollen packet. They emerge in the spring, feed on pussy willow, and go to ground again.
One odd species has a generation of females underground who fly off and dig another tunnel to lay eggs without ever being mated. All of this brood are males, who simply wait around for mom to lay another batch, all of whom emerge as females. These fatherless brothers and sisters mate with each other. The females dig their way out of the ground and fly away to start the crazy cycle again.
I can identify with the colonial honeybees a lot more easily than with the strange solitary bees. I saw both this week, and I just had to tell you about them. After all, I'm human.

Committee Opinion Number 696, April 2017
(Replaces Committee Opinion Number 474, February 2011)
ABSTRACT: The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists' Committee on Obstetric Practice acknowledges that the issue of nonobstetric surgery during pregnancy is an important concern for physicians who care for women. It is important for a physician to obtain an obstetric consultation before performing nonobstetric surgery and some invasive procedures (eg, cardiac catheterization or colonoscopy) because obstetricians are uniquely qualified to discuss aspects of maternal physiology and anatomy that may affect intraoperative maternal–fetal well-being. Ultimately, each case warrants a t...

Mines to break ground on privately funded $25 million classroom, laboratory facility
GOLDEN, Colo., Oct. 1, 2010 – The Colorado School of Mines community will break ground on Marquez Hall, an interdisciplinary teaching and research facility that will house the university's petroleum engineering department, at 4 p.m. Oct. 8, on the corner of 16th and Arapahoe streets in Golden.
The new facility will provide much-needed classroom space and will serve as a hub of energy-related research, education and outreach.
Tim Marquez, chief executive officer of Venoco Inc. and a 1980 Mines alumnus, and his wife, Bernie, contributed a $10 million challenge grant through the Timothy and Bernadette Marquez Foundation in 2005 laying the groundwork for the facility. Additional generous funding by corporations and individuals makes Marquez Hall the first building on the Mines campus funded entirely through private sources.
Features of Marquez Hall include:
- 60,000 square feet of customized classrooms and research and teaching labs
- Smart classrooms equipped with wireless networking and interactive audio-visual technology
- Classrooms and laboratories adaptable for conducting made-to-order professional education programs
- Capacity for increased faculty research activity and enrollment of up to 400 students
In 2007, Mines' student body voted to contribute a portion of their student fees to fund an additional 25,000 square foot annex to the facility.
Designed by the architectural firm Bohlin Cywinski and Jackson (known for designing the Pixar Studios headquarters in California and the Apple store on 5th Avenue in New York), the new building will be LEED certified for sustainability and energy efficiency.

China and India To Harvest Massive New Fuel Source: Crystal Methane

Sender E-mail
Here the methane hydrate trapped within the muddy sediment is showed fueling a golden flame. Methane hydrate resources are estimated to surpass coal, oil, and natural gas supplies combined.

Japan's Chikyu research drilling vessel is the largest research drilling vessel in the world.
(Source: Spiegel Online)
There are rich deposits of methane hydrates surrounding much of Asia.
(Source: Spiegel Online)
China, India and numerous other developing nations bet on new carbon fuel to complete their ascent to economic dominance
China may
just be a lot closer to writing
a ticket to free itself from foreign oil. Faced with an eventual power crisis when the nation's coal and oil resources run out,
the world's top CO
, is scrounging around looking for new energy sources -- be they "clean" or "dirty."
Chinese scientists with the Guangzhou Marine Geological Survey have made a major discovery which may provide a major source of
future fuel
. When dig a core sample out of the ocean floor in the deep waters of the South China Sea. The scientists were astonished when they held a small flame to the sample and it ignited, burning with a yellowish-red flame.
The leaders of the expedition Shengxiong Yang and Nengyou Wu realized were all smiles when they returned to port an announced their discovery -- a wealth of sea floor methane hydrate.
Methane hydrate is a flammable fuel, which consists of methane trapped within a crystal lattice of water. On the earth it forms in small quantities in permafrost and in substantial quantities on the deep sea floor, either on continental shelfs or in deep semi-enclosed seas (like the South China Sea). The methane hydrate discovered by the expedition was part of a 15 to 20 m layer of sediment which included a large amount of mud and silt. These soft sediments should allow for easily drilling, which is an encouraging sign to fossil fuel companies.
China, India, South Korea, Japan and Taiwan all are expressing a large interest in and financial commitment to developing a harvesting infrastructure for this promising resource. While the west has only expressed marginal interest in it, these Asian nations see it as an invaluable tool to pass their western competitors which they are
fast approaching
in terms of economic power.
China in particular has shown the largest desire for growth, each year upping its power consumption by an amount that approximately equals the total yearly power consumption for France. Despite its superpower status, China is legally treated by the Kyoto treating as a developing nation and is free to run rampant with carbon emissions, which some fear will
cause significant global warming damage
. China has pledged to try to reduce them and is apparently making
some initial steps
to back up its talk. China's Prime Minister, Wen Jiabao used the terms "pollution" and "environment" 48 times in his address to the National People's Congress this year and said that China refused to repeat the mistake of "polluting first and cleaning up later."
Despite its vocal promise of reform, China has showed no intention of slowing its accelerating fossil fuel consumption. China is thrilled about the prospect of using its neighboring sea's rich methane-hydrate resources. Fossil fuel prospecting companies are considering using drilling and heating pipes to melt the crystals and release the methane, which will be subsequently captured.
China is not alone in its zealousness for the fuel. Japan built the world's largest research drilling ship to aid in its prospecting chances and India has invested almost 300 million USD to begin a national program of methane prospecting and harvest. India has achieved a significant early success, discovering an extremely thick 132 m methane-hydrate containing layer of sediment has been found in the Krishna-Godavari Basin in the Indian Ocean.
German researchers have proposed a solution which may take away some of the environmental fears of harvesting this fuel source. When a certain amount of pressure is applied to the methane-hydrate's crystal lattice and it is exposed to carbon dioxide, the methane is freed and up to five CO
molecules take its place.
The Chinese and Indian governments have expressed wariness at the researcher's efforts though, as they see the process as potential attempt by the west to stifle and slow their growth by temporarily preventing them from exploiting this resource.
People must face that it is a reality that we live with every day that China and India are on a rampant and frantic pace of growth which affects our lives in many ways. From the possible eventual loss of economic world dominance by the U.S. and its ramifications to
quality of
massive manufacturing infrastructure
, these growing pains are effecting American lives more and more.
