This week, the EU announced it was investigating Microsoft because the company apparently didn't comply with the rules surrounding that ridiculous browser choice dialog monstrosity. The company quickly admitted fault, and announced it would extend the browser choice dialog for another 15 months. In summary, there was a bug in the detection software that caused the browser choice dialog to not be shipped to new PCs with Windows 7 SP1.
In the wake of this error and ensuing EU investigation, the boys and girls up in Brussels decided to, for good measure, also investigate the issues surrounding browsers in Windows 8. The EU will investigate Google's and Mozilla's claims that Internet Explorer 10 has access to special APIs, while third party browsers do not. In addition, the EU will also dive into the issue of Windows RT being locked down from third party desktop browsers.
I'm actually not happy with this investigation - it focusses on entirely the wrong subject. It is, in fact, far too specific. What we need is an investigation into restricted computers in general, and whether or not it's healthy for competition that companies like Apple and Microsoft get full control over what software we do and do not run on our devices - not because of technical limitations, but because of conscious, artificial limitations put in place specifically to hinder competition. Just look at how you can't even change default email applications in iOS.
I hope that, one day, we reach a point where every device comes with a developer switch we can flick to enable full ownership of our devices. That would be a far worthier cause for the EU to fight for than annoying browser choice dialogs. They're fighting symptoms here, not the root cause.

Leading Evangelical Pastor Sees Hope for Bernie and Ruth Madoff
In an emotionally charged and deeply personal interview with CBS's "60 Minutes," Ruth Madoff admitted that on Christmas Eve 2008, she and her husband, Bernie, tried to end it all.
"I said, 'I just can't go on anymore,'" Mrs. Madoff told CBS News. The Madoffs ingested a bunch of pills in their New York City penthouse, but awoke the next morning still alive, and relieved.
Although the Madoffs' difficulties were largely of their own making (the suicide attempt occurred just weeks after Mr. Madoff admitted to a Ponzi scheme that cost investors an estimated $20 billion), does the Christian faith have any hope to offer in situations like these?
Pastor Don Wilkerson, co-founder and former pastor of Times Square Church in New York City and co-founder and current president of Teen Challenge, Brooklyn, believes it does.
In an interview with The Christian Post, Wilkerson said that hitting rock bottom can actually be an opportunity for faith.
"When a person gets down that low, that's a time to cry out to God," Wilkerson told CP. "God certainly sees people at their lowest depths. It's really in despair that we learn to cry out."
With over 50 years as a pastor, including working with men and women coming out of drug addiction and self-destructive compulsions, Wilkerson has had extensive experience counseling people with suicidal thoughts. He said Christians who encounter people with such tendencies should take the situation seriously.
"Suicide is really a cry for help– it's the ultimate cry for help," Wilkerson told CP. "No one should ever take it lightly."
In fact, suicide has already stricken the Madoff family. The couple's son, Mark, committed suicide last year, 14 months after an unsuccessful attempt to take his life by swallowing pills, according to a book by his widow, titled The End of Normal: A Wife's Anguish, A Widow's New Life.
But Wilkerson believes there is still hope for Mr. and Mrs. Madoff. He cited David Berkowitz, the Son of Sam serial killer, as an example of a criminal who came to faith in Christ – in prison. It's possible that Mr. Madoff, serving a 150-year sentence, is already experiencing a change of heart.
On Thursday morning, Barbara Walters reported on ABC's "Good Morning America" that she had an interview with Mr. Madoff at the North Carolina prison where he is incarcerated. According to Walters, Mr. Madoff said, "I feel safer here (in prison) than outside … I lived the last 20 years of my life in fear. Now, I have no fear because I'm no longer in control."
Wilkerson encourages Christians to minister to those who may be suicidal. He says believers can look for an "opportunity to offer prayer for them, say, 'What can I do for you?' I don't know whether the Madoffs had anybody who could minister to them in that situation."
And that's exactly what Wilkerson hopes for Mrs. Madoff.
"I hope his wife finds somebody she can talk to," Wilkerson told CP. "To me, she appears to be a victim."

Johan Santana pitches tonight for the split at Washington. After last night's game, Jerry Manuel said his expectations for Santana were to go 170 pitches. He was joking, but after sending out seven relievers last night you had to wonder if there wasn't a grain of truth to what he was saying.
We all know about how Santana has been shortchanged by his teammates this season, both in run support and bullpen help.
He really does need to get at least into the eighth inning tonight. Nine would be even better.
Luis Ayala closed last night. It's probably a good assumption to think the same tonight.

On July 17, 1972, in a historic first, the first two women were enrolled the FBI Training Academy at Quantico, Virginia.
"It wasn't something that I had been planning to do or I thought was going to happen at the time," recalls Joanne Pierce Misko, a former Catholic nun.
Growing up as a daughter and sister of police officers, Misko was no stranger to law enforcement. After she finished college she entered the convent of the Sisters of Mercy in Buffalo, New York where she taught middle and high school students for a decade. However at the end of her twenties, she decided to follow a new career path.
"I met an FBI agent who came to our school doing recruiting, and I talked to him, and that's how I eventually got involved in applying to the Bureau," said Misko, now 71.
"I was looking for something to do after leaving the convent and this was an opportunity that presented itself," she said during an interview at her home in Arizona.
In 1970, Misko joined the FBI as a researcher at the Training Academy. Two years later, Acting FBI Director L. Patrick Gray opened the special agent position to females and her supervisor asked if she was interested.
"Absolutely I would be interested," Misko, who was 31 at the time, recalls telling her boss.
Once her supervisor explained all the pros and cons of entering the camp, she was not deterred.
"I said, 'Okay. I still want to do it.'"
In the academy, Misko shared a room with a 25-year-old Marine named Susan Roley Malone. The two women helped each other through the intensive 14 week physical training regime.
"There were 45 of us in the class at that time, two women, and 43 guys."
"Just two of us were in the same boat, so to speak," she said. "So you're there for each other."
Once she had finished training as a new special agent, Misko had hoped she would get placed in Miami but drew St Louis instead.
"It was an assignment and I was going to be a special agent," the rookie remembered. "It's a new adventure, right?"
In St Louis she was assigned to a white-collar crime squad for her first ten months. She still vividly remembers her first case.
"We went out to get the guy and he found out that we were looking for him and he called back into the office; he was incensed that a woman was being sent out to get him, you know, that he wasn't worthy of a guy."
"He had to have a woman go after him. Then he comes back in to surrender and tries to pass his cousin off as himself. We got the fugitive, but he didn't like having a woman going after him, kind of thing."
"In St. Louis, they just let me be an agent and do my work like everybody else," Misko said. "That's the way you prove yourself - by doing the job you were sent to do."
Then in 1973 she was sent to Wounded Knee, South Dakota where she pulled 12-hour days for almost two months during the American Indian Movement siege.
"At the time it's going on you don't think about it," she said. "But afterwards, when you go back, you think, 'My God, what could have happened?'"
The former nun was later appointed to the Pittsburgh Division, where she met her husband Michael Misko.
She went on to become the one of the first female supervisors at FBI Headquarters, where she headed up the unit for new agent applications.
"This was one of the most rewarding things that I did. I brought people in and took them through the testing process and then the interview process and through the physical tests that they had to go through. And you felt so great when they were able to succeed and actually received an appointment as a special agent. So that was a really rewarding thing that I did."
After working as an agent for 22 years, she retired from the FBI in 1994. She later worked as an audit investigator for a major bank. She remains close to many of her agents still today.
"The hardest thing about leaving the Bureau is leaving the people," she said. "The FBI is a family and you get very, very close and you feel part of an organization and part of that group. It was a privilege, really, and it was a wonderful career."

Man, I wish I had the space you guys do in my Kitchen.We just did a remodel a couple years ago and are still working on the finishing touches. Mainly the trim under the cabinets since the floor just got finished a few months ago. We replaced the cabinets and tore down a pantry that was built in the middle on the kitchen. It's only purpose was a cold air return for one bedroom upstairs. Moved that into a wall instead and got rid of the hideous pantry. Because of our space issues I had to keep the fridge where it is and the range but I added an island with some much needed counter space. Amazing how quickly the island now gets filled up with Junk.I have been looking at led lights recently and have come across this company. http://www.elementalled.com/They have some decent prices on dimmable leds. I bought some from Lowes because I didn't tear into the walls to put in any wiring for under cabinet lights and have some cabinets that don't connect and just have a few setup. Good luck!
Decided that it would be good to get some cement countertops under my belt before doing a nice one for our kitchen, so I'll be doing a new top and some reconfiguration of my outdoor bbq table/bar.

If you do it yourself it can be a huge savings and look amazing. This old house has done a few and they have a show on doing them your self. I'd check them out.
I have another suggestion. Spend some time with your wife talking about what you despise about the current kitchen. We had a counter which was square and I always had to step around it coming in from the garage. While the cabinet guy was measuring I mentioned how much I hated the corner and asked if we could make it a 45 angled cabinet. He of course said sure and we did and I am so glad we did. My wife and I had never discussed it and luckily I brought it up. That simple change makes it so much easier to enter from the garage without the corner in the way.
Phillam, is there any way you could move fridge to the wall close to sink. and then make the wall were fridge is a pantry area. Having sink fridge stove all the kitchen triangle will make the kitchen more user friendly.
Uplighting is good if you have some space between the ceiling and the cabinet. If it isn't at least a foot I would not bother with it. If the cabinets have a crown moulding the easiest thing to put up would the the strip LED I linked to earlier in the thread. They can just lay on top of the cabinet. Ours were sized to be the length of the sides and front of the cabinets. We didn't have a gang of cabinets since everything was stand alone or different heights. (Of course we have no uplighting where the cabinets go to the ceiling.)

The 23rd annual Beach Sweep/River Sweep is scheduled for 9 a.m.-noon on Saturday, and the town of Bluffton is recruiting volunteers for a May River cleanup.
The town sponsored cleanup will be based at Oyster Factory Park in Old Town by the river. Supplies, snacks and water will be provided.
"Each year thousands of people participate in the sweep, South Carolina's largest one-day litter cleanup of beaches, marshes and waterways.
"The town of Bluffton is proud to again participate in this annual event by organizing a cleanup based at the Oyster Factory Park, located at the end of Wharf Street in Bluffton. All necessary supplies are provided," said Kim Jones, town natural resources manager. "All you need to bring is a friend."
Also, she said "While this is a cleanup geared toward the shoreline and streets, boaters and kayakers are welcomed."
The S.C. Sea Grant Consortium and S.C. Department of Natural Resources organize the statewide event, which is held in conjunction with the Ocean Conservancy's International Coastal Cleanup.
Anyone can participate – individuals, families, schools, youth groups, civic and conservation clubs or businesses.
Last year in South Carolina, more than 4,700 volunteers removed 24 tons of debris. In its 22-year history, 1,072 tons of litter has been collected.
For more information, contact Jones at 706-4593 or by email at email@example.com. For a list of other coastal site captains and cleanup locations, visit www.scseagrant.org.

Stephen Curry is a well-deserved All Star starter, but the last thing he needs right now is another game. Jordan Crawford and MarShon Brooks were supposed to help the Warriors buy some rest for their starters. So far, there's no evidence that they've helped Mark Jackson reduce his dependency on number 30. The Timberwolves should provide an easier match-up than the Pacers, and a perfect opportunity for the bench to demonstrate that they can get the starters some much-needed rest.
After a relatively healthy stretch of their season, the Warriors' aches and pains are starting to mount again. Both Bogut and Lee are nursing injuries from earlier in the week. Iguodala has looked limited at times (and may still be on a minute cap, averaging only 31.7 in January — well under his pre-injury 37.5 in November). But the impact of injuries to any of those three pales in comparison to what an injury to Curry would do to the team's chances. Curry's minutes per game continue to rise (35.9 in November, 39.2 in December, 39.5 in January). Some injuries are pure luck and cannot be avoided, but others can arise in the second half of the season as players' bodies start to wear down. As the Warriors start their second half push, getting a bench capable of at least treading water has never been more important.
As always, drop your thoughts below.

A random check of Find a Grave this last weekend revealed an obituary for the recent death of Brenda May (Hegwer) Hass. Brenda was one of the great-grandchildren of Charles Herman Hegwer and Margaret Lavina Richardson, making us second cousins.
Brenda and I never met or even made contact, which somehow makes me additionally saddened to hear of her passing. Our fathers were cousins and I know they met as children and had at least some contact by mail thirty-some years ago, before my father died.
My thoughts are with Brenda's large and loving family.

India's services sector grew at its strongest pace in three months during December, as company order books filled at the quickest rate since last February, a survey showed on Friday.
Services, ranging from banks to restaurants, make up nearly 60 percent of India's economic output and a recovery brightens the outlook for Asia's third-largest economy. The sector has been the lone bright spot in an otherwise slowing economy.
The HSBC services Purchasing Managers' Index, a survey of around 400 companies, rose to 55.6 in December from November's 52.1. The 50 mark separates growth from contraction and the index has held above that level for over a year now.
(Watch Now: Indian Rupee to Hit 'Sweet Spot' in 2013: Pro)
"The service sector provided some holiday cheer with activity fully recovering after two months of deceleration, led by a sharp rise in new business," said Leif Eskesen, economist at HSBC.
The new business sub-index jumped to 57.1 in December from 54.9 in the previous month.
While there is strong overseas demand for Indian services, the big questions remain about major export markets. The U.S. economy will remain sluggish in 2013, underscoring a very fragile world economic outlook, according to a Reuters poll.
Firms were still optimistic about the year ahead, although the business expectations sub-index nudged lower in December from the previous month.
The Indian economy grew 5.3 percent from a year earlier in the quarter to September, extending a slowdown that began at the start of this year. It is now headed for its weakest full year growth in a decade.
The survey showed both input and output prices rose at a slower pace during the month. That should take some steam off the headline inflation rate, which at 7.24 percent in November is well above the Reserve Bank of India's commonly perceived 5 percent comfort level.
(Read More: Watch Out, Asia. Inflation Is Coming )
"Inflation readings, meanwhile, eased a bit. With growth showing signs of recovery and inflation still elevated, the case for a policy rate cut is not yet convincing," Eskesen added. "However, the RBI has clearly teed up for rate cuts in January-March."
The central bank has held interest rates steady since April, citing high price pressures, even as financial markets and the government have clamoured for rate cuts. But after the RBI's meeting last month and in October, it said it was likely to ease policy rates in the January-March quarter, as inflation pressures are expected to ease.
A majority of economists polled by Reuters last month expect a total of 50 basis points of cuts in the benchmark repo rate by March, citing weak growth and a generally declining inflation trend.
A PMI survey released on Wednesday showed India's manufacturing activity surged to a six-month high in December, boosted by strong factory output and a spike in new orders.

Durie signed a contract extension with Toronto on Monday that will keep him with the Argos through the 2016 season. The 2013 campaign was a banner one for Durie but it ended bitterly Nov. 17 in the East Division final at Rogers Centre at the hands of the arch-rival Hamilton Tiger-Cats.
And visions of Hamilton players celebrating a Grey Cup berth on Toronto's home field remains a bitter pill for Durie to swallow.
"Any losses are always bitter against Hamilton," Durie said. "Losing in the East final was tough because we worked so hard throughout the year.
"We faced a lot of adversity, a lot of injuries, a lot of ups and downs and some tough road games and to end that way just left a bad taste in your mouth. It sticks in my mind just to motivate me to continue to strive for perfection, to take away the little mental errors and to be better and more functional for my team and to produce for my team."
After winning the '12 Grey Cup at Rogers Centre, Toronto finished atop the East Division standings with an 11-7 record. But Hamilton dashed the Argos' hopes of repeating at CFL champions with a 36-24 road victory in the conference final.
Unfortunately for Hamilton, its season ended with a 45-23 Grey Cup loss to the Saskatchewan Roughriders at Mosaic Stadium.
Durie, who'll reportedly earn around $140,000 annually under terms of his new deal, enjoyed a standout 2013 campaign. The five-foot-10, 199-pound Durie led the CFL with a career-high 92 catches for 986 yards (also a career best) and three touchdowns.
Durie signed with Toronto as an undrafted free agent in 2007.
"We believe Andre Durie is one of the most talented players in our league, and he's Canadian," Argos GM Jim Barker said in a statement. "He has been a very productive member of our offence and a strong contributor on special teams.
"Andre has proven to be a valuable member of the Toronto community and we're excited to keep him at home to continue his work on and off the field."
Durie, who played running back during his university career at York, has registered 272 catches for 3,150 yards and 13 TDs with Toronto. His seamless transition from tailback to slotback is even more remarkable considering Durie suffered a horrific leg injury in '05 with the Lions that not only threatened his football career but had many questioning whether he'd walk normally again.
"I'm not going to sit here and lie, there was definitely a lot of doubt," Durie said. "It was the people around me who supported me and believed in me and gave me the strength to continue and believe different.
"Without them I wouldn't have the mindset to keep going. I'm so glad and fortunate to have all my loved ones around me. I never would've imagined to be in this position back in '05 when the injury happened. It's remarkable and I can't thank the organization enough for giving me the opportunity to live out my dream to be a professional football player and to have made it this far."
Durie says he's especially grateful to Barker, who returned to Toronto as the club's head coach in 2010 before adding the GM duties prior to the 2011 campaign. In 2012, Barker hired Scott Milanovich as Argos head coach to concentrate full-time on his duties as general manager.
"Coach Barker has literally taken me under his wing since he got here," Durie said. "He's been able to provide me with so much guidance and knowledge to get better as a player and person."
Durie said there was no question in his mind that he wanted to remain in Toronto. Should he see his current deal through — after all, CFL contracts aren't guaranteed — Durie will be 35 and have achieved the rare distinction of spending his entire 10-year career with his home-town team.
However, Durie isn't about to say he has signed his final CFL contract.
"You never know," he said. "My body feels great, I still feel at the top of my game and I'm playing good football.
"I don't really like to look that far ahead into the future, I just take things as they come. I'll see how it is year to year."

1. Implementation Status Overview
Describe how sample initiatives are transforming agency operations
As reported last year, the Department launched the Performance-Based Data Management Initiative (PBDMI) that provides a central data repository of performance information for Federal grant programs. The Department is now collecting information from the state and local education agency partners via an integrated web-based system that reports timely data on student achievement and educational outcomes. Next year, the Department will report on the results of performance data collected, and the reduced reporting burden to our partners. By improved analysis of educational results data, all concerned are better able to identify performance trends that impact budget and policy decisions. Implementation of this system reinforced the commitment by the Department to shift emphasis from compliance with procedural requirements to a focus on actual student achievement. Additionally, the PBDMI will promote the redirection of state and local resources from responding to collection requests to addressing core mission objectives.
The Department continues to offer and enhance FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid) on the Web, which offers electronic financial aid applications to the public. This benefits both students and schools and enables the government to lower processing costs. Students receive a response in four days, instead of three to four weeks when the same application is filed manually. Applicants have to make fewer corrections because the FAFSA on the Web application has built-in error checks, which helps students "apply right" the first time and reduces data duplication. By using on-line edits, we have been able to reduce resubmits and on-line exceptions from an average of eight percent of all applicants to less than one-half of one percent. We calculate the student aid report (SAR) and determine the student's expected family contribution. We send those reports electronically to schools and they bundle a total aid package from all their resources to custom fit each student. Applicants can apply for a pin to use in electronic identification. We currently mail this pin to their mailing address to meet privacy considerations. We look forward to the opportunity to send the pin to the applicant electronically when federal privacy and security practices permit.
Explain how your agency maintains an ongoing dialogue with interested parties to find innovative ways to use IT
The Department has had an on-line customer satisfaction survey available on ED.gov since November 1996. Among other things, customers have an opportunity to tell us what kinds of new services they would like ED to offer. Over the years, ED has implemented many of the suggestions, including a new on-line tour of the site to help users navigate the site and an eService Center, which provides enhanced customer service to the public for frequently asked questions (FAQ) while increasing the efficiency of responding to customer inquiries.
Federal Student Aid (FSA) continues to annually host thousands of financial aid professionals from across the nation at conferences and events designed to promote dialogue on IT updates, industry best practices, recent developments and process improvements. Additionally, FSA constituencies can access any one of several websites developed and maintained by FSA to receive real-time information on issues impacting student aid.
Identify other agency partners who collaborate on the initiative
Partners with the PBDM Initiative involve the state and local education agencies, and FSA expands that partnership to include colleges, universities, and other post-secondary institutions. The Department continues to focus on-line services to customers, expanding public access to grants, loans, and research information through improvements in electronic transactions.
Identify improved performance by tracking performance measures support agency objectives, strategic goals and statutory mandates
As part of our strategic objectives, we track burden hours associated with our information collections. Through the use of consolidated PBDMI collection process, we will continue to reduce burden hours, therefore meeting our annual performance objectives as required by the Government Performance and Results Act.
Quantify the cost savings and cost avoidance created by implementing the initiative (e.g. reduction and elimination of investments), and describe the methodology used to determine savings
Cost savings resulting from the PBDMI is with the states because they can redirect their resources more efficiently. For example, the PBDMI reduces amount of time spent on gathering and reporting duplicative data and preparing collections.
100% of the Department's Title IV loan programs provide online capability. In addition to the fact that the eligibility application (FAFSA) is available online, students and parents can also complete and sign loan applications/promissory notes online.
Explain how your agency ensures availability of government information and services is not diminished by those without access to the Internet
The Information Resource Center (IRC) is the home of 1-800-USA-LEARN (1-800-872-5327), the telephone number for information on the Department of Education's major education improvement priorities (e.g., reading, family involvement, technology). Services provided by the IRC include not only information about the Department's programs and agenda, but also the ability to register for satellite events and directory assistance for the Department. The IRC provides referrals to department specialists or other experts, and answers frequently asked questions. The local number in Washington, DC is 202-401-2000, and Spanish speakers are available on TTY: 1-800-437-0833.
Another popular phone contact is 1-800-4FED-AID (both English and Spanish lines).
The Education Publications Center (ED Pubs) is the Departments' one-stop center for access to ED Information products, including publications, videos, brochures, posters, and other mailings. Use the ED Pubs online or call 1-877-4ED PUBS (English and Spanish)
In addition to phone and publication media, the Department has entered into a pilot with HUD. ED recently executed an interagency agreement with the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to participate in their successful Kiosk Project. HUD has placed 106 kiosks in grocery stores, malls, shopping centers, libraries and city halls in areas serving low-income, minority audiences that do not have Internet access. ED content will provide users with information on how to get free publications and answers to questions about other ED programs. All information will have Spanish versions and all phone numbers have Spanish-speaking staff to assist. The new information is expected to be available in January 2005.
2. Summary of implementation of specific privacy provisions of Section 2008
a. The reporting of each instance where persistent tracking technology is used, to include need for persistent tracking technology, safeguards for information collected, and contact/privacy policy notification.
ED.gov is the primary entry point for the Department's internet services and products, and does not use persistent cookies. (Federal Student Aid, EDCAPS and National Center for Education Statistics represent separate business functions, and may use persistent tracking technology.)
ED Principal Offices (as cited above) may choose to use persistent tracking technology in cases where it can increase the agency's ability to deliver its services, primarily by increasing convenience for institutional partners in mission delivery, by increasing family awareness of financing for college, or by enabling electronic filing for college student aid. The first two instances involve web sites that are personally customizable by public users on a voluntary basis; i.e., information is available whether or not the user signs up. The third instance requires persistent tracking in the same way that filing a tax return online does; persistent tracking is necessary if the person wants to file online (a paper option exists for the person who does not want to be tracked electronically).
All ED web sites are protected in accordance with FISMA, and the data that are collected are protected in accordance with the Privacy Act of 1974, the E-Government Act of 2002, and OMB privacy guidance.
ED has no information that says the Principal Offices are not complying with OMB guidance on persistent tracking. The Office of the Chief Information Officer is planning to validate that persistent tracking and machine-readable privacy policies have been implemented in 2005.
b. A readable agency privacy policy machine or an explanation of why it is not readable.
In February, 2004, the CIO's web development services team implemented P3P on ED.gov and related servers and notified Federal Student Aid, Office of the CFO, and the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) of this requirement for servers and web sites that they maintain. NCES has implemented P3P on its website, but it is not known whether the other two offices have completed implementation. The upcoming validation will gather this information.
c. The contact information of individuals appointed by the head of the Executive Department to serve as the agency's principal contact for information technology/web matters and the individual primarily responsible for privacy.

3. Summary of agency's progress to implement your information technology human resources strategy as described in Section 209.
Identify any specialized job activities necessary to perform the agency mission that have changed since last year's report
Last year's report identified a number of IT-related skills, briefly touching on the skill sets found in the IT Specialist job series. The IT Specialist series, modeled after to a great extent, skill sets identified in the Clinger-Cohen Competencies document. Recognizing that the federal government needs to approach the work differently and more efficiently, the Department believes that Project Management professionals must direct all IT-related projects. To that end, the Department launched in December 2004, its first IT Project Management Certification Program. The first session targets those individuals already managing large IT projects for the Department. The second session will include not only a repeat of the full curriculum, but also the course for project managers to complete the annual re-certification requirement.
Of equal importance with ensuring that highly qualified individuals lead IT related projects, focus is directed to identify skill sets related to enterprise architecture and broad-spectrum security expertise.
Explain how your IT training plan integrates into the overall agency training plan
As reported last year, the Department launched a self-assessment tool—Employee Skills Inventory System (ESIS) to aid in identifying individual competency development needs in the current workforce. The Department's Training and Development staff continually develop strategies designed to aid in closing existing competency gaps—on-line learning opportunities (GOLEARN at www.golearn.gov) as well as working with IT components to meet individual training needs (as with the development of the IT Project Management Certification Program).
Discuss how you have used the results of OPM's Training Report to successfully implement training programs to fulfill gaps in your IT workforce
The report provided a comprehensive summary of IT training programs available, as well as updates to the Clinger-Cohen Act core competencies. The report confirms the direction the Department took in the development of our on-site IT Project Management Certification Program.
4. Briefly describe the process your agency established for determining which information will be made available on the internet as described in Section 207.
Description of process ED established to determine which information will be made available on the Internet
The U.S. Department of Education (ED) developed this inventory of website content as required by Section 207(f)(2) of the E-Government Act of 2002. This inventory is intended to be comprehensive, and to represent website content from ED and all its offices.
Provide the priorities and schedules for making Government information available and accessible
In preparing this inventory, ED has reviewed information collected as part of the redesign process for ED.gov, including citizen comments via e-mail, a customer survey, and usability tests; current website statistics indicating usage of existing content; and related information developed through the Information Quality Guidelines process (per Section 515 of Public Law 106-554, known as the Data Quality Act).
|Explain how these priorities and schedules were available for public comment
|The draft inventory was posted on the ED.gov website on 12/3/2004 and the Department will receive comments through 12/15/04. A final inventory will be prepared and communicated to OMB on 12/17/04, as required by the E-Gov Act.
Identify the link where the priorities and schedules can be found on the Internet

Rio Grande Valley farmers have been blessed with a bounty of fall rains. This has been a boon to the citrus fruits, which are bound to grow bigger and sweeter in the next few months.
Since the recent rains, Donald Thompson of Weslaco, Texas, who manages 1,000 acres of citrus trees, is optimistic about this year's crop, which is just beginning to be harvested.
"I know the fruit will start picking up now," he says. "And we hold hopes for a better market than last year.
"South Texas should have a good piece of the market if we're not forced to compete pricewise with Florida growers who offer an inferior grapefruit." South Texas, with 30,000 acres in production, grows the dark red citrus that is far superior to that grown any place else.
But that's only the good news. "We're probably not going to have as much fruit as in the past," says Thompson. A farmer can't battle the 100 degree temperatures, the wind and, above all, the lack of water that the Valley has experienced this past summer.
"We've had to stretch our irrigation water out over six to seven weeks instead of three to four that we should be irrigating."
More bad news is what is in store for the future of the South Texas citrus industry without major rain or major Mexican water payback.
Unlike vegetable crops, citrus takes many years from planting to harvest. If the industry is lost, it won't recover soon and may not recover at all.
"They've got water over there," says Thompson, referring to Mexico. "But they have blocked the tributaries that are supposed to be feeding into the Rio Grande, and it seems that nothing we can do down here is going to make any difference."
Mexico is not going to give it up, he says.
It has been generally conceded that the Valley is the sacrificial lamb — compromised to keep Mexico friendly to the United States.
"The three to four billion dollars we're losing down here doesn't amount to much," says Thompson. Except when it comes to the people whose livelihood it takes away.
"The sad thing is that I don't want to pass my farming on to my children," says Thompson. It's just too chancy. If Mexico has no intentions of living up to the water treaty, paying the U.S. what it owes and continuing to pay the 350,000 acre feet per year it agreed to, then all of the Valley's agriculture will be doomed.
In the meantime, a farmer like Thompson does what he has to do. He battles the insects, controls the weeds, uses whatever water is available, and hires the pickers. "We're starting now and we ought to be harvesting the citrus through March."
As far as the 2002 crop goes, it looks like good quality fruit that will be savored throughout the country.

Women should receive the tetanus toxoid, reduced diphtheria toxoid, and acellular pertussis (Tdap) vaccine during every pregnancy -- regardless of vaccination history -- to help protect both themselves and their offspring, final CDC recommendations stated.
The idea is to enhance protection against pertussis, which has become more of a problem in recent years. The provisional numbers for 2012 -- 41,880 pertussis cases and 14 deaths in infants younger than 1 year -- have surpassed those from the last peak year of 2010.
The new recommendation, initially adopted by the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) in October, became final after acceptance by the CDC director and publication in the Feb. 22 issue of Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report.
In 2008, ACIP recommended that Tdap should be given shortly after women gave birth to provide a measure of protection against pertussis for newborns, who do not begin the childhood DTaP series until they are 2 months old and are thus unprotected. The rest of that five-dose series is administered at 4, 6, and 15 to 18 months, with the final dose given before the child enters school around age 4 to 6 years.
In 2011, the committee voted to recommend giving a single Tdap dose to pregnant women toward the end of pregnancy (after 20 weeks of gestation), as opposed to immediately after delivery. That decision was based on evidence that maternal anti-pertussis antibodies pass through the placenta to the developing fetus, as well as an analysis showing greater reductions in infant pertussis, hospitalizations, and deaths when the vaccine was given during and not after pregnancy. The recommendation applied only to women who had not received Tdap previously.
To clarify what should happen in subsequent pregnancies, ACIP in October voted to recommend giving Tdap during each pregnancy, regardless of previous receipt of the vaccine. The vaccine can be given at any time during pregnancy, according to the guidance, but preferentially from 27 to 36 weeks of gestation.
"New data indicate that maternal anti-pertussis antibodies are short-lived," wrote Jennifer Liang, DVM, of the CDC's Division of Bacterial Diseases, and colleagues in MMWR. "Therefore, Tdap vaccination in one pregnancy will not provide high levels of antibodies to protect newborns during subsequent pregnancies."
When considering the recommendation, ACIP members concluded that the interval between pregnancies for most women likely would be greater than the amount of time maternal anti-pertussis antibodies persist.
Available data suggested that receiving more than one Tdap dose would be safe. And, because women have about two children on average, very few women would require four or more doses, according to the authors.
"ACIP believes the potential benefit of preventing pertussis morbidity and mortality in infants outweighs the theoretical concerns of possible severe adverse events," they wrote.
The new guidance also provided information for vaccination in special situations:
- If a woman requires a tetanus and diphtheria booster during pregnancy, Tdap should be given.
- A tetanus toxoid-containing vaccine may be recommended for wound management in pregnant women if 5 or more years have elapsed since a previous tetanus and diphtheria toxoids (Td) booster. In that case, Tdap should be given.
- Pregnant women with an unknown or incomplete tetanus vaccination history should receive three vaccinations containing tetanus and reduced diphtheria toxoids. The recommended schedule is 0, 4 weeks, and 6 through 12 months, but Tdap should replace one dose of Td, preferably from 27 to 36 weeks of gestation.
Liang and colleagues noted that the CDC will continue to monitor the effectiveness and safety of Tdap vaccination in pregnant women.
The authors did not report any conflicts of interest.

Writer/director Steve Hudson patterned his debut feature, True North, after classic Greek tragedy. This bleak and despairing drama concerns the Skipper (Gary Lewis) and Sean (Martin Compston), a father and son from the U.K. who co-pilot a small fishing boat called Providence. Though the Skipper remains aboard, Sean inherits all financial responsibility from his dad. But times are hard and the catch so inadequate that it cannot sustain the men. Terrified of being regarded as a failure by his father, Sean devises a dangerous scheme: he and deckhand Riley (Peter Mullan) will illegally pull Chinese immigrants from the far side of the North Sea while the Skipper sleeps, collect money from the stowaways, hide them in the ship's hold, and deposit them in northern England. All goes according to plan until Sean realizes that they must locate some actual fish to mislead the British authorities. Meanwhile, the Chinese passengers begin to waste away below deck, while a storm and other unforeseen catastrophes threaten the lives and safety of everyone aboard. The picture subsequently builds to a devastating conclusion. Steven Robertson and Angel Li co-star.~ Nathan Southern, All Movie Guide
Director: Steve Hudson
Writer: Steve Hudson
Producer: David Collins, Eddie Dick, Benjamina Mirnik and Sonja Ewers
Cast: Martin Compston, Gary Lewis, Peter Mullan and Steven Robertson

The New England Aquarium's splashy new look
The New England Aquarium's splashy new look
Hundreds of tropical sea animals swim around below their former home, the New England Aquarium's Giant Ocean Tank, which is being remade.
The tank is being rebuilt as part of the aquarium's $17 million nine-month renovation.
Michael Weatherwax, Turner Construction project manager for the makeover, in "the attic" above the top of the tank.
Workers are still removing the old tank's 60 panels, each of which weighs anywhere from 600 to 1,500 pounds and is made of four layers of glass.
Before the tank is rebuilt, some of the concrete around the current windows will be cut away, improving the kids'-eye view.
Workers cart off a section of the old glass tank; on a good day, five are removed. The panels will be replaced with 52 clearer-than-glass acrylic panes.
It took about 24 hours over two days to drain the tank so its 800 animals could be moved safely and comfortably. (The rebuilt tank will house about 1,500.) Now scaffolding lines the walls and surrounds the base of the coral reef sculpture that was built for the tank in 1984. The old "corals" are being replaced along with the glass.
The aquarium's 2½-year-old Animal Care Center in Quincy has holding tanks for the new specimens destined for the tank, including this blacknose shark.
Elsewhere in Quincy are tanks for turtles the aquarium has rescued and quarantine tanks for sick fish and animals.
These all used to be tucked into nooks and crannies at the aquarium in Boston. Some of those spaces have been given over to new exhibits.
Where are the penguins during construction?
The Little Blues are still on display in Boston. But the larger flocks of Rockhoppers and Africans (in foreground) are spending the next months in a pool at the Quincy facility.

South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley has repaid about $10,000 for using state planes to attend news conferences and bill signings, after The Associated Press informed her of a rule against that.
COLUMBIA - South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley has repaid about $10,000 for using state planes to attend news conferences and bill signings, after The Associated Press informed her of a rule against that.
Haley's spokesman said her office was unaware legislators put a clause in the budget last year that added the restrictions. She returned $9,590 on Friday to the state Aeronautics Commission, which operates the state's two taxpayer-funded planes. The reimbursement covers flights taken across the state over seven days since last July.
During the trips, she ceremoniously signed five laws, including those creating the state Medal of Valor and drawing the new 7th congressional district anchored in Horry County. Three days of flights involved her promoting her ethics reform and tax-cut plans.
Spokesman Rob Godfrey called the trips "entirely staff oversight."
"In none of those cases did the governor use the state plane for anything unrelated to her official state duties, and she never has," he said.
Statewide officers and legislators can use the planes at no cost to them on a first-come, first-served basis, as long as the trips are official business. However, a rule first inserted into the 2011-12 budget, and kept in this year's, specifies that bill signings, press conferences and political functions don't count as official business.
The clause says the flights are ethics violations.
Haley said the purpose of her fly-around stops are to educate people on what she's pushing and why. She also said it makes sense to hold ceremonial bill signings in places that recognize those who pushed for the measure.
"This takes away my ability to get close to the people," she said. "When you look at time is money, now it will take me three hours to get to Myrtle Beach or Hilton Head, and I won't be able to hit as many spots as I do. I want to get the most out of my day. It calls into question, what do you want the role of your governor to be?"
The reimbursement represents a quarter of her state plane usage since she took office in January 2011.
According to flight logs and manifests, she was the most frequent flier among elected officials with free access to the planes, taking flights over 30 days, at a cost to the aeronautics agency of $39,590.
Legislators and statewide politicians other than the governor have taken a combined $70,380 worth of flights since January 2011.
By contrast, former Gov. Mark Sanford took $83,800 worth of flights over his last two years in office.
Flights authorized by legislators, the governor and other constitutional officers are absorbed as part of the agency's budget. Agencies and public colleges also can use the planes for official business, but they must pay by the hour: $850 for the King Air C90 and $1,250 for the King Air 350. The agency is barred from making a profit on the per-hour cost.
Rep. Boyd Brown, D-Winnsboro, is a frequent critic of the Republican governor, but he said he can't fault her for using state planes.
"I didn't know that proviso was in there," Brown said.
He took the plane to Chicago in July to meet with a biofuel company executive about locating in his district a possibility he said is still in the works. He defends legislative use of state planes as a way to promote South Carolina, noting the state's come a long way since the rampant abuses decades ago.
Former Democratic Sen. John Lindsay famously took a state plane to the Super Bowl in 1984.
In those days, the state owned 11 aircraft and employed 17 pilots. The agency now has one full-time and five contract pilots, said agency director Paul Werts.
Senators who sponsored the rule on plane usage for press conferences and bill signings say the issue predates Haley.
In 2010, Sanford agreed to pay $74,000 in ethics fines, the largest in state history, to resolve dozens of travel-related ethics charges, including personal use of state planes. Sanford was also known for bashing legislators in news conferences across the state.
"The intent of the plane is not to be used for political purposes but for the business of the state," said Sen. Vincent Sheheen, D-Camden, a co-sponsor of the budget clause. "We had seen some of our leaders spending more time trying to be in front of the camera than using it for state business. When politicians are being politicians, they ought to use their own campaign funds. They ought not to politic on the state's dollar."
Sheheen, who lost to Haley in 2010, said the co-sponsors believed the law needed to be very specific on what is considered official business.
Sen. Jake Knotts, R-West Columbia, said he believes officials should use the planes only to fly outside the state, for economic development or taking a group to Washington to meet with federal officials, for example. South Carolina is a small enough state that any town is within a two-to-three hours' drive from Columbia, he said.
"You can operate a car a lot cheaper than a plane," said Knotts, who said he co-sponsored the clause to save taxpayers money. Besides, he said, politicians can use email and social media these days to quickly get their message statewide.

There was actually one thing in all the theology classes I had in college had in common, the one's taught by Jesuit priests: It's better for you to have an understanding of your faith with shreds of doubt than to adhere strongly to faith without understanding why.

I was baptized as Mormon, switched to Protestant and now I'm just somewhere in a pool of mixed religions. My ex was Catholic and I used to go to her Sunday masses as well. Rather than gluing myself to a certain branch of Christianity, I took it more of a learning process. I'm deeply bothered by fellow believers who can't comprehend the bible in their most fluent language. I also feel that some 'devout Christians' have never read the bible.
"Really? Give me a ref # to where it says that. I have it right here, tell me where you got that idea from? Your parents told you? Really?"
I'm not too concerned with details such as what God or the Savior did in the past or looks like. I'm more concerned about why the world is the way it is and what I am supposed to do as a human being in the general picture.
I never make prayers to demand for anything. I don't seek a physical Savior in the living world. There's no need to. If there was really a need, they'd be here.
My impression of God is like a parent with overwhelmingly superior insight and foresight. Just like how you feel badly treated by your parents when they actually love you and try to show you small amounts of pain so that you can become stronger. I feel God is the same but on a much higher level. So I don't expect any eternal peace in the living world. Then we'd be just spoiled protected brats that never gained anything while we were alive.
I am certainly not those "liberal christians' that just follow whatever is convenient to their existing lifestyle.

Hence, faith: The hope that you'd get there someday, even though there's more than a big chance you never will.
Atheists who sniff at the quest for "certainty" haven't really lived enough to know why it matters so much to all of us, regardless of creed, faith or religion.

I consider myself a Christian today, and I'm not a perfect Christian, but I get so angry about some Christians, especially some I see in America. I know there is a lot of good Christians all throughout America, some with views that I think they are definitely wrong on but they are still, overall, good Christians (that previous post doesn't suggest that, but I acknowledge that often), but yes, I'm very frustrated with some Christians. I mean, what kind of Christians was my ugly, extreme post directed towards? Christians who believe every gay person is vile and no good; that not one of them is a good person. That they are "abominations" and it is right to hate them. There are many Christians like that. I have gay relatives and each one of them and their spouses are good people. It is hurtful that millions of Christians would hate them, treat them like dirt, and wish death upon them just because of their sexual orientation. This is a big thing with my frustration for people I think are bad Christians. I understand that with your religion you oppose homosexuality. That is understandable. However, you aren't supposed to hate those people. An important thing for Christians is to "hate the sin but love the sinner".
Then there are also plenty of Christians in America that think all liberals are Godless heathens. That's a bother. Beyond this, there are plenty of Christians who are very unkind and intolerant to people like Buddhists, Hindus, and Muslims, among others (some of them hate all Muslims, even). Again, many of these Christians take an extreme view, thinking that their religions offer nothing good when in fact they share some of the greatest elements found in Christianity.
So yeah, my post was extreme. Sorry if it got on someone's nerves, but I'm angry. I'm sick of some Christians pointing the finger every which way, judging so many others, condemning so many others (things Christians aren't supposed to do), when they themselves are bad people. The Christians that I think are bad Christians ignore or oppose some of the most important teachings from Jesus himself. It is frustrating. Also, these people I deem as bad Christians are incredibly harmful to Christianity itself. Just think how the bad apples in Christianity, since just in the last decade alone, have driven away millions of people that could have become Christians or remained Christians. This is yet another thing that I'm frustrated with with certain Christians.

To an extent some people find consolation and comfort in the fact that they have a set path, or at least a potential one to take. Even if say the end result is itself unknown with no guarantees, getting there is enough to keep him occupied and satisfied until the end of one's life.
So now we feel how it's like for peace loving Muslim to see their religious brethren blow op Churches and Mosques.

You're totally right about peace loving Muslims a lot of them are ashamed of the extremists and see them as defiling the message of Mohammad. There was a good movie "The Message" that was done in 1977 that really paints the picture of Muslim beliefs. It's much different then what the extremists spout off for sure~

I'm a Muslim and I personally hate them for defiling the Words of Allah. The shouting of " Allah is Great" after beheading a captive is blasphemous and boils me to the bone... I want them dead!!! I once planned to become a soldier to "cleanse" my mother's birth place (Jolo) of such demons!!! I think its reasonable.

And there are Christian extremists today killing in the name of God. It is just more discrete. It comes from politicians who orchestra war and it also manifests in some (but I'm not saying all) of those that support the wars. There are the rarer cases of some Christians who are nut jobs that kill abortion clinic workers, but then you have this whole war on terror thing. Not that I don't think we shouldn't work to fight against terrorist organizations, but look at the hornet hive the Bush administration shook up. Bush played off of many Christians in America, making them think the war on terror is a war willed by God. They are the non-Christian heathens and we have to annihilate the enemy. Sounds like another version of the terrorists goals, no? Just swap out non-Christian heathens with non-Muslim infidels, and you get the same thing. And a lot of Christians in America don't care about the Afghan and Iraqi civilians who die because they are just "Muslim heathens".
For instance, when a marine went ballistic and killed Afghan civilians earlier this year, there was a number of online comments by some ignorant Americans that played off the massacre as no big deal (i.e. "So? He just killed Afghan people!"). I remember one lady just dehumanized the Afghan civilians, as the Afghan people (as she put it) were just "primitive cave dwellers one step away from the stone age" (I am paraphrasing).

I also don't know ASG What is it?
|2012-06-18, 20:59

Actually the ASGs here are far more inferior compared to those in the Middle East. CAlling themselves as extension of Al-Khaida is a joke, they can't even do suicide bombings, they're damned cowards! They're robbers, rapist, looters, bombers and insurgents.
Another thing is that they kill priest and humanitarian people who helps people. What the hell?! Islam forbids killing of medical personels or anyone who help other people in need (even priest).
I worked in a military hospital and a Muslim soldier said to me that he never have a second thought in killing an ASG. He said, " they're not worth to be captured alive."

Indeed, I remember that in the movie "The Message" a person who helps others no matter what it is can not be harmed even in the middle of a war zone. Do they even study the wisdom of Mohammad? I mean he is pretty clear in what he says.
Oh whoa, I suppose when someone does evil acts and has no remorse, that feeling is bound to emerge~

Mohammad's teaching is peace indeed. And hurting peaceful non-muslims (let alone killing them) is absolutely out of the questions. The excellent thing is, his teachings (from Allah) has balance between gaining as much as you can in this world and saving plenty for the afterlife. So, if you become a pious person in Islam, it doesn't mean that you must let go any of your possessions. Islam only ask you to not be so attached to the worldly things (coz you'll lose them eventually), but not forbid you from enjoying it. Yes, Islam does forbid things like drinking any kind of alcohol, eating pork and doing free/irresponsible sex. But you gotta admit, the world still has plenty to offer .
Oh yeah, I'm a muslim btw .

See, just like what you are talking about, that is all I was getting at in my rant I made recently (towards certain Christians). Some Christians I'm so mad with because, like I said, they ignore or oppose some of the best and most important teachings from Jesus himself.

When I read the Qur'an (It's actually my mothers) I found so many contradictions between what it was saying, and how the people were acting. You're definitely right about gaining things through spiritual means. The thing about the vices that people follow is they over indulge in them, and they don't even realize there is more to the world than those things. So they're so focused on it- It's sad~
Edit: Also to further help Urzu's point I was shown this once

In summary: It's easier to cherry pick something you don't know about. If you're gonna defend something, at least know what you're defending or you'll be a sheep in a herd. That or you'll grow into an idiot like that preacher who wanted to put all the homosexuals in an electrified fence. Dumbass.

To be fair to the fanatical believers out there, a couple of famous philosophers, namely Immanuel Kant and Soren Kierkegaard, that belief in God is justified precisely because it transcends the boundaries of reason itself. With this perspective in mind, I think that religious faith and scientific reasoning are largely incompatible, especially since one side stresses the value of belief despite the absence of evidence. Thus, finding a middle ground between the two would be difficult, if not impossible.
As for myself, I simply disagree with the idea of organized religions since religion and spirituality are personal in nature. They are manifestations of of one's own experiences and realizations. As such, introducing homogeneity to religious belief takes away the individuality from the experience. It becomes an exercise of conformism, rather than a journey for fulfillment and self-discovery.

After all, wherever and whenever you die, that guy up there does the judging. It may been good to expedite the course of judgment for such maddened people, but there is no end to them. As fellow human beings, why not give a chance? If you can of course.
The preacher is no doubt a dumbass.

Goodwill increases during new year
The holiday season is often a time of excess.
When the holidays are over, many people vow to rid themselves of those extra things, whether its clothing, unwanted gifts or out-of-date electronics.
The impending new year is one of the busiest times for Goodwill Industries, which sees donations increase across the state as residents adopt an "out with the old, in with the new" mentality.
The Goodwill on Lenoir-Rhyne Boulevard in Hickory received more than 150 donations Wednesday, which is twice the amount of donations the store receives on average.
Goodwill district manager Summer Hatley said the store receives more household items and toys during the new-year holiday. These donations, Hatley said, often come from people who want to clean out their homes to make room for Christmas gifts. Goodwill also receives more new items after Christmas when people donate unwanted gift items.
The items also increase in value this time of year. People are more likely to bring in larger-ticket items, Hatley said.
Another reason for Goodwill's seasonal increase in donations is donors' desire to increase their income tax deductions before tax season starts, said Goodwill marketing vice president Jaymie A. Eichorn.
Donations to Goodwill are tax-deductible, but the organization doesn't assign value to the donations. The valuation is left to the Internal Revenue Service, Eichorn said. To make the valuation process easier, Goodwill recently announced a partnership with CharityDeductions.com, which helps people value their donations and maximize their tax return.
"Whether you're donating because it's the season of giving or because you want to take advantage of the charitable deduction on your taxes, you'll be helping Goodwill to help people achieve economic independence and a better quality of life," said Jim Gibbons, president and CEO of Goodwill Industries International.
People who previously donated to Goodwill received a receipt of their donation from the store.
CharityDeductions.com provides a fair, market-value price for those donations based on the company's database from eBay.
"We're excited to partner with Goodwill," said David Anderson, founder of CharityDeductions.com. "Our services and goals are a natural complement for one another. It's our hope this partnership will encourage people to donate more, because they can claim higher values than they would have guessed, save more on their taxes and be able to substantiate the values used if they're audited."
This influx of seasonal donations is much appreciated by Goodwill staff.
"Donations are as critical now as ever," Eichorn said.
Goodwill's donations dropped in 2009 following the onset of the economic downturn.
"People weren't donating as much," Eichorn said. "They were trying to keep things longer."
Donations increased in the past year as the economy improved, but Hatley said a need always exists for people wanting to donate.
"We always have a huge need for donations," Hatley said, adding Catawba County has two Goodwill retail locations. "All donations go back to our mission."
Goodwill Industries International aims to provide employment opportunities and workforce development programs to help the unemployed find a job and gain independence.
There are 35 retail stores and 61 donation centers located throughout northwest North Carolina to accommodate the season's donors and shoppers.
