The usual context of the word "initiative" is typified by the phrase "take the initiative" meaning to lead the way and I feel that we must be more assertive in our efforts if we are to be taken seriously by both our clients, which I take to be people who are currently "enjoying" less than ideal access to the World Wide Web, and our audience which is those connected either through personal authorship of or the provision of tools for the purpose of placing content on the Web. The attached speech was given by Judy Heumann at the Microsoft campus in connection with the "Accessibility Summit" sponsored by MS recently. The tone of it is what I have been trying to urge on our output: not exactly a threat but a firm resolve to change how these things are done. The famous "bottom line" invoked to excuse non-compliance with clear regulations requiring accessible software must be shown to include the certainty that people who deliberately avoid providing accessibility will one day be sitting in the same chairs that the "leaders" of the tobacco industry used when facing a congressional committee. The various WAI working groups should always be operating from strength that is not *just* morally and ethically sound, but also advising vendors, many of whom are members of the Consortium, that the actions we are recommending are actually requirements and what we are "negotiating" is the "how" not the "if" of accessible software for accessing the Web. At WWW6 I asked Chuck if the disability manager had to approve of software before it was released he said that that not only was not happening but likely would not. This is changing at MicroSoft and will be a prevalent procedure. Therefore we must concentrate on: what comprises accessibility; how to provide it; how to tell if it has been provided. We are better off not to enter into any discussion of why to provide it in any sense other than what Ms. Heumann brings out in the attachment. Her tone is not that of a beggar seeking a handout but of a representative of an entire nation explaining in remarkable detail, right down to keystrokes, what's been wrong and suggestions on how to fix it. I don't believe we should show any less initiative than she does. -- Love. ACCESSIBILITY IS RIGHT - NOT PRIVILEGE http://dicomp.pair.com

Date: Sun, 1 Mar 1998 21:04:45 -0500 From: email@example.com> ------- Hello All---Debbie Nicholas here. This is rather long, but worth the read. Judy Heurmann is an awesome advocate who is considerably disabled physically, yet obviously a brilliant and motivating speaker. At the Microsoft accessibility summit last week, a keynote speech was given by Judy Heumann, Assistant Secretary for Special Education and Rehabilitative Services at the U.S. Department of Education. Although not a transcript of the delivered speech, here is a copy of her prepared remarks. ---------- REMARKS OF JUDITH E. HEUMANN MICROSOFT SUMMIT ON DISABILITY THURSDAY, February 19, 1998 REDMOND, WASHINGTON Thank you and good afternoon. It is wonderful to be here in the other Washington, a beautiful state, for this exciting conference. When an organization of the size and influence of Microsoft holds an all-day meeting on accessibility, I know we're on the right track. I want to express my appreciation for all of you attending "Accessibility Day," and I want to convey special thanks to Jim Allchin's Personal and Business Systems Group, and to Gregg Lowney and the Accessibility and Disabilities Group for hosting this meeting. Thank you also too Gary Moulton, for all of your hard work in putting this conference together. So, who is this group called the disabled, and why are we here today? Let me begin by telling you a little about who I am, and through that I hope you get a better understanding of why the issue of accessible technology is so important to disabled individuals like me. I am the Assistant Secretary for the Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services (OSERS), a principal program office in the U.S. Department of Education. OSERS administers the statutes that provide special education and vocational rehabilitation services to disabled children, youth, and adults, and it conducts research in disability-related topic areas needing further study. You just heard from Dr. Gregg Vanderheiden, who heads up one of our research centers, and he has worked very closely with Microsoft to develop the accessibility features that you provided for Windows 3.1 and that are now built into the Windows 95 Control Panel. There are some 49 million of us out there with disabilities, and I believe part of my job is to promote our rights. Whether people are blind or deaf or physically disabled, I want to be able to assure them that as technology advances and as our society becomes more technology-dependent, they will not be left behind. Let me tell you, I am not a doomsayer by nature, but if we don't build accessibility in up front, we will lose flexibility down the road. If we don't consider the needs of all Americans, we will harm many Americans. I want all of you to understand that we must design our products of tomorrow by considering the users of today, and some of those users are disabled, including me. More will be developing disabilities as they age, including most of you if you live long enough. So this is not just about legalities -- it's about thinking smart for the future. You know, there is an image, a stereotype, if you will, of who we the disabled are -- people who need to be taken care of, dependent poor souls -- and where we belong -- in institutions, at home with the blinds drawn. Well, I'm here to tell you in my experience and the experience of the Disability Rights Movement, disabled people want to be a part of it all. We are joiners. We are active, productive citizens -- when given the chance. We want to be as self-sufficient as possible and own our own homes, send our children to college, worship, vote and work. That means that we don't want to be left out when you're designing software or hardware, or testing products, or doing marketing surveys. What you do here is as important to us as it is to any other customer you have. And I can assure you, that not only do the President, Vice President and the rest of the U.S. government care about accessible technology, but there are laws which have had very bipartisan support to assure technology is accessible in any equipment purchased by the government or by businesses contracting with it. Over the last 100 years, we have experienced the rise of the Disability Rights Movement, and with it the creation of federal legislation protecting the civil rights of disabled Americans. # # # Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 states that it is illegal for any federal agency or grantee, such as a public university, or any other institution or activity that receives federal funding to discriminate against anyone "solely by reason of . . . disability." Thus, these agencies and grantees who use technology such as Microsoft's, must make sure that this technology is accessible so that employees with disabilities are not denied opportunities based on their disabilities. As the disability community grew and coalesced, it demanded equal access to employment, housing, public buildings, transportation and telecommunications -- the right to participate fully in American society. This groundswell then birthed the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990. The ADA provides that no qualified individual with a disability shall, by reason of such disability, be excluded from participation in or be denied the benefits of the services, programs, or activities of a public entity or be discriminated against by it. Any of these entities who purchased inaccessible software and other technology could be in violation of Section 504 and/or the ADA if inaccessible technology prohibits their disabled employees or customers from participating in that entity's activities. All this came to pass because disabled people needed to be empowered, needed to get actively involved in the world around them, taking their cues from other groups also fighting for equality of opportunity. And so, when several leading organizations representing the interests of people who are blind wrote in the fall of '97 to your chairman, Bill Gates, they echoed what all people with disabilities want, and that's simply what other customers already have: full access to all software features of Microsoft products. The fact that you are here today to listen and learn about how this wish by the disabled community has been often advanced and sometimes impeded by your company, encourages me about the future of accessibility at Microsoft. As Gregg so poignantly illustrated in his presentation, it is likely that as we age, at some point in our lives, many of you who are not disabled will become so through accidents, strokes, disease and other trauma, and those of us who already have a disability will acquire new ones. Disability, then, is part of the human condition. And we must plan the future with it in mind, because the future we make for each other is the future we ultimately make for ourselves as well. At this point, I would like to introduce all of you to Joe Tozzi, the Director of the Department of Education's Assistive Technology Team, and Terri Youngblood, the Department's full-time assistive technology consultant. They came out here with me as evidence of the fact that accessibility is not a province of my office alone, but represents a full commitment by the entire Department. Joe heads up a full-time Assistive Technology Team whose job it is to ensure that any software in use within the Department is useable by its customers and employees with disabilities. I want to be very clear about this -- we are beginning to enforce Federal laws which mandate accessibility, and are requiring that all of our grantees purchase technology that is accessible to everyone. Also, in order to ensure that the Department is meeting its accessibility obligations under Section 504 on all fronts, we have hired a Section 504 Coordinator to oversee the Department's compliance with the broad requirements of this statute. I am pleased to introduce to you Jennifer Mechem, who also flew out with us to lend her support and share her experiences with you. I understand that Jenni will be participating in the meetings to be held tomorrow between the advocacy groups and the product development teams. In addition, the Department has issued very specific accessibility requirements for any software developed under contract for the Department. These requirements will ensure that any software developed for us will be accessible to our disabled employees and customers. I am pleased to say that other Federal and state agencies are looking closely at these guidelines, and that recent Congressional activity suggests that new legislation will establish more stringent functional requirements for Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. For those of you unfamiliar with this statute, Section 508 mandates that Federal agencies purchase information technology that is accessible to and useable by its disabled employees. Certain State entities also must comply with Section 508, and I know that those entities that work with disabled individuals are taking a very hard look at their Section 508 compliance and software purchasing at the State-level. The point is, the importance of accessibility to technology will only grow over time both from a legal perspective and a moral one. More and more decisions on what to buy will be based on asking, "Is it accessible?" In fact, last March a number of us met with staff from the Lotus Development Corporation and informed them that we would absolutely not use the Lotus Notes Client for Department-wide collaboration until the company makes it accessible. And of course, that same high standard will be applied to Microsoft products as well, some of which, such as Outlook 97 and MS Access, also have serious accessibility problems. As you can see, this collective movement toward requiring a high level of accessibility throughout the Department is fast becoming a reality for all of us, but is not limited to the Department's internal operations. In October of last year, Secretary of Education Richard Riley signed a ground-breaking "Dear Colleague" letter, which, along with a technical assistance package on access to technology, was sent to every single school district throughout the country. The Secretary has made it quite clear to school systems their responsibility under several Federal statutes to provide technology-access. This material stresses the necessity of considering access issues as an early and integral part of technology procurement. Insisting upon accessible technology in schools is not only a great idea -- it's a legal requirement under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). This discussion makes me think about Stephen Hawking, one of the most brilliant scientists, and one of the most severely disabled individuals of our time. As you may know, Stephen Hawking has Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, a condition which has left him pretty much unable to speak or move without assistance. Through the efforts of a team of designers at Intel's mobile products group, he has constant access to the Internet, a voice synthesizer and infrared remote control of doors, lights and his personal entertainment center. Well, Stephen Hawking became disabled later in life, and I have to wonder, if he was in our school system today with his level of disability, would he receive the technology he needed to allow the potential of his genius to shine forth as it does today? I have to wonder if Microsoft and other companies who supply educational software and hardware to local school systems would have the right tools on hand to help him overcome his functional limitations and become one of the greatest scientists of this century. # # # Stephen Hawking is of course a dramatic example of the increasing correlation between the ability to use a computer and the ability to learn and work. Those who have access to computers will have a much greater chance of working and supporting themselves and their families as contributing taxpayers; those who don't will simply be left behind, a prospect unacceptable to the disability movement. Almost 70 percent of working-age adults with disabilities are still unemployed or under-employed. The reasons for this are many and involve a myriad of complex issues surrounding the physical, social, and attitudinal barriers that still exist in our society. But one thing is clear -- given the right tools, disabled individuals can learn and work in equal measure alongside their non-disabled peers, fully contributing to all aspects of societal life. With each passing day, computers and related equipment continue to increase in importance as the "right tool" in moving toward a society that counts more and more upon its technological skills for its functioning. In trying to grasp just how critical access to technology is for disabled people at home, in school, and in the workplace, we like to say that for people without disabilities, technology makes things convenient, whereas for people with disabilities, it makes things possible. That brings with it an enormous responsibility because the reverse is also true. Inaccessible technology can make things absolutely impossible for disabled people, a prospect we must surely avoid. # # # As Chairman Gates mentioned earlier, there are major issues facing the disability community that involve Microsoft policy, software design, and the importance of creating an accessible environment so that no one is left out as we move into the next century. For individuals with significant hearing impairments, access to major software functionality is, at least for the present, generally not a problem, since interactions between computers and users mostly happen at the visual level. However, deaf individuals have always had a problem when sound-only error messages are utilized by software, or audio material is presented on the Web or in multi-media applications. As this reliance upon audio and multi-media information increases over time, this could present problems for individuals who are deaf. Recent developments within your organization are very encouraging in this area, especially the development of the Synchronized Accessible Media Interchange (SAMI), which will enable anyone who creates multimedia software titles and Web pages to provide closed-captioning for users who are deaf or hard-of-hearing. Using the synchronization features found in Dynamic HTML, SAMI provides a simple and extremely effective way of captioning or audio-describing web pages and other materials without disturbing the integrity of the initial files. As I understand it, SAMI is slated to be available sometime in the first half of 1998, and if any of you haven't seen it, I am sure it's on exhibit at this conference, and well worth checking out. For individuals with mobility impairments, alternative input devices, oversized track balls, and software features such as sticky keys, bounce keys, and other enhancements built into Windows 95 allow much more flexibility in performing input and manipulation tasks than they would otherwise have had. We are concerned, however, about the potential inaccessibility of future systems which could rely upon more complex interaction, e.g., gesticular input, small response times, or responses involving movements with very small error-tolerances. Computer-users with low vision need to be able to specify highly contrasting colors and very large fonts in order to read the screen. The font manipulation and screen magnification software solutions that are now available and under development should, though a long way from perfect, help to ameliorate this problem. Probably the area that has generated the most controversy in recent months involves the consistent accessibility of software applications to individuals who are totally blind, thus making this issue one of the most urgent we face, at least for the present. This means that every person who designs products and writes code needs to understand just how blind people interact with this marvel we call the computer. For example, how many of you fully grasp that the mouse is simply not a tool that a totally blind person will ever want to use? It is useless for someone who can't see what it is pointing to on the screen. The keyboard is thus the most comfortable and productive way known today for someone who is blind to input or manipulate data, making it critical for all of the controls within an application to be accessible through the keyboard, and for those controls to be displayed in a manner that is easily detected by the screen reading system. On the positive side, Microsoft, in May of last year, released the Active Accessibility software development kit to assist in remedying the problem of software access by the blind. As some of you know, Active Accessibility is an application programming interface that allows a software application (be it a word processor or browser) to describe its contents including all screen objects and controls to other applications, such as screen readers which read the screen out loud using artificial speech, or braille displays, which represent it in a tactile format. Active Accessibility is much more accurate than the standard-method screen readers used before this kit was developed, and the disability community saw the Active Accessibility kit as a real advance toward independence and full accessibility to software applications. Its inclusion in Internet Explorer three, and to a minimal degree in Office 97 were further indications that we were making some progress. But unfortunately, when the final version of Internet Explorer 4.0 was released this past October, the software did not contain Active Accessibility due to some last-minute decision-making and juggling of technology that prevented its inclusion. Well, needless to say, there were letters, e-mails a plenty, and a flurry of activity. The result of all this was that Microsoft finally released an accessible version of Internet Explorer (4.01) last month, with Active Accessibility included, though numerous blind people tell us that version 3.02 is still the preferred version as 4.01 still has some major accessibility bugs to be overcome. The concern still exists then, that if Active Accessibility is far enough down the feature chain that it can be dropped from a product like Internet Explorer at the last minute, what are the implications for any other product slated for release by Microsoft? Our bottom line is that until accessibility becomes a tier-one feature for every relevant team here at Microsoft, I share the belief of many in the disability community that there will always be cause for concern and job insecurity, especially given market pressure to constantly issue new and enhanced versions of software products in the shortest possible timeframe. Until accessibility is viewed with the same level of importance as properly functioning mouse or video drivers, there will always be that chance that, with shipping dates, feature wars, and other competitive pressures, disabled people could be left behind by one simple decision to leave out the coding necessary to make a product accessible. I know that your teams place a high priority on features that you deem as "Show Stoppers." I am hear today to tell all of you that inaccessibility is a "People Stopper," and that's something you mustn't forget. This is not about finger pointing or who's right or who's wrong. It's about jobs -- real people getting or losing real jobs. For example, because of the work you did in making Internet Explorer Three accessible, there is an Internet service provider in California who has actually hired blind people to do tech support for its customers. Think about it, these people can't see their screens, yet they are helping sighted people to learn to use the Net, and they can do it all because of your efforts. But the reverse is also true. There's a blind woman who was a prominent programmer for a large software company who literally lost her job because the development tools they began using were inaccessible. Another visually-impaired man with an MBA is now folding film for a living because he couldn't compete for a high level customer service job even though he was eminently qualified. The software the company was using to handle customer inquiries, again, was inaccessible. Another blind database designer lost his job because at least as of right now, there is not a Windows-base database package available that is accessible enough to allow for the competitive employment of blind programmers. I could go on and on, giving both positive and negative examples of how software accessibility has affected people with disabilities. The bottom line is, there are still way too many negative stories, and while we can tout the positive ones, we need more of them. # # # We want to ensure that compliance with Active Accessibility, the use of standard classes and controls where possible, and other accessibility tools, become tier-one features in all text-based Microsoft products. We know that Active Accessibility is not currently supported among all product managers. This is a real problem, because until it, or another standard, is consistently adopted by all development teams, screen-reading companies will be constantly shooting at a moving target. If each development team provides its own accessibility solution, or worse, none at all, the end user won't stand a chance in counting upon accessibility in the marketplace. We must ensure that mainstay application programs that disabled people really need to use on the job are fully accessible -- it's as simple as that. One sure way to help integrate accessibility into the fabric of Microsoft activity is to include accessibility as a standard part of usability testing. It would be extremely useful to build accessibility into that whole process and repeat it throughout the design, prototyping, and development stages of a product. In a related matter, I know that hand-held computers, though not prevalent right now, will probably be flooding the marketplace in the next few years. Therefore, we absolutely must ensure that research and development into making Windows C-E, the operating system that drives them, accessible to all disabled people. It's not unrealistic to imagine a time in the not-too-distant future when employability will depend as much upon access to C-E-based computers running applications as it now depends upon access to software running on desktop PCs. Here, too, a corporate-wide policy of accessibility as a tier-one feature, with top-level support and allocation of resources, is absolutely critical to success in this area. I know that another concern which has been raised in the disability community is that Microsoft's developer tools do not at present facilitate the development of third-party applications that are accessible through inclusion of Active Accessibility, keyboard equivalents and other accessibility features. This is of very great concern since numerous inaccessible applications are thus being produced unnecessarily by third-party developers. We recently hired a contractor to develop a database application for my office, to be used by a discrete group of individuals, which from time to time will include blind individuals. The contractor used MS Access as its database development tool, insisting that its libraries contained standard Windows classes and controls, thus enabling it to be used in conjunction with screen-readers. We were all pretty surprised to find that this was not the case. Our blind users had a number of problems with this application. For example, after tabbing to a list box of names, they were not able to use their arrow keys to move among the choices or the enter key to select them. In these list boxes, one must click first with the mouse to activate the selection process, and even then, the screen-reader could not read the choices, reporting that a custom class was being used. So we have to look hard at this whole issue of development tools. I know from Mr. Gates' comments that Microsoft plans to continue to strengthen the accessibility provisions of the Windows logo program. How wonderful it would be to make compliance and support of Active Accessibility and other access features a requirement for any application seeking authentication as Windows-compliant. Just think how far-reaching the effect of such a requirement would be: any text-based application, regardless of its producer, would have to meet accessibility criteria if it were to use the "Designed for Windows" logo. I know that Microsoft is moving in that direction, and I encourage and applaud you for this effort which will have a profound effect upon the whole software industry if successfully implemented. I would also encourage Microsoft to explore some creative mechanisms that would further assist vendors of adaptive technology such as screen-reader developers in quickly obtaining and implementing releases of Microsoft accessibility products. Finding ways of improving the relationships with assistive technology vendors would help to address such issues as obtaining copies of the latest accessibility code and engaging in dialogue on implementation strategies and design problems. Lastly, I want to commend Mr. Gates and all of you for your efforts in ensuring that disabled people have a voice in the direction that the development of accessibility policy takes. I am pleased that Microsoft is setting up a panel of people that represent all major groups that work with or represent the disabled end-user, so that all voices are heard in the process, and key ideas and critical input and best practices are provided to product-development staff on a consistent basis, especially in the early stages of conceiving ideas for new products. This early involvement could eliminate the need for costly retrofitting of software for accessibility which can occur when such considerations are not taken into account up front. # # # I would like to close by again contemplating the life of Stephen Hawking. As Intel vice-president Stephen Nachtsheim points out, Stephen is probably the most connected man in the world, and the envy of his colleagues. What he really wants to do is what we all want, and that is to be connected all the time, with instant access to people and information. My impression is that he is a man who does what he wants and tries to be minimally inconvenienced by his disability, so he uses all the technology he can to overcome a problem. So here we have this great man, Stephen Hawking, who has said he perceives his significant disability as mild, due in no small part to some really great technology designed by some even greater people. Well, there are a lot of Stephen Hawkings and Judy Heumanns out there -- some of us are blind, others are deaf, others, like Stephen, can't manipulate a keyboard or a mouse. Wouldn't it be great if each time one of us used a Microsoft product, we could agree with Stephen Hawking that, because of the given product, our functional limitation would be reduced to something that is, as he has said, "an inconvenience but which one can live with and get around." What an endorsement of technology by him, and what a challenge for each of you -- great accessible technology designed by talented people. We all await your efforts. Thank you again for inviting me to talk with you today. ---------- End of DocumentReceived on Wednesday, 25 March 1998 18:38:26 UTC

Kardashian Competition: Which Sister Has The Sexiest Cleavage?
Enough clowning around, it's time to make a decision. The three Kardashians — Kourtney, Kim, and Khloe — and their Jenner half-sisters — Kendall and Kylie — all proudly and consistently flaunt their ample cleavage, but which sister do you think has the sexiest curves?
The Kardashians have many claims to fame — the reality show(s), Kim's 72-day marriage, baby North, Kendall Jenner's modeling career — but one thing all five sisters can hang their hats on is… their amazing cleavage!
Which Kardashian Has The Sexiest Cleavage?
[hl_youtube src="http://youtu.be/kmzCSFKE9dU" link="http://youtu.be/kmzCSFKE9dU" text="Kim Kardashian's Sexiest Selfies"]
Curves are the Kardashian family heirloom. But who represents the family best?
You could argue the eldest sister, Kourtney, who has become a tad more conservative about showing off, even though she's got nothing to be timid about. Anytime Kourt is spotted in a bathing suit or on a red carpet, we're rendered speechless, for two big reasons.
Khloe and Kim are the real show-offs of the trio, though Kim has a lot more to actually show off. And the 33-year-old has become even more of a cleavage-flaunter since giving birth in June. From the wow-worthy selfies like the one Kim posted with Riccardo Tisci on Oct. 1 to her almost-racy low-cut outfits like the white bustier top she wore to her birthday party on Oct. 25, Kim has been putting her curves on display front and center, and we've had zero complaints.
Kardashian Cleavage: Kendall & Kylie Jenner
Compared to Kimmy, do the half-sisters even stand a chance? Kendall shows a ton of skin (including her nipples!), but cleavage isn't really her thing.
Kylie Jenner on the other hand may actually have a shot at winning this competition. At 16, Kylie is starting young, but she's definitely shown promise. With selfie shots like the ones from her Grecian vacation or the one of her in a sheer white top that showed off ample amounts of cleavage, it's clear Kylie is taking after her older sisters. And pulling it off quite well!
But we can't give the award to a rookie. And we can't kid ourselves either — no matter how many cleavage pics we look at, we keep coming back to Kim. Her post-baby push really solidified her first-place position.
Do you agree, HollywoodLifers? Vote and let us know!

Medical Director The London Sports Injury Clinic 108 Harley Street
Hamstring injuries are a common injury in sports especially if participating in activities that require sprinting, such as track, basketball and football. Usually referred to simply as the hamstring, it is the group of three muscles and bordering tendons at the back of the thigh and knee: the semitendionsus, semimembranosus, and biceps femoris.
Medical Director The London Sports Injury Clinic 108 Harley Street
The rectus femoris muscle is one of four quadriceps muscle and is composed of fibers appropriate for rapid forceful activity. Its characteristics may explain why this muscle is particularly vulnerable to eccentric stress forces and injured in forceful movements such as when starting to sprint or kicking a ball.

Space technology and the next DCI
by Taylor Dinerman
|Not even the best spy satellite can get inside the mind of a terrorist or a dictator. Neither the Keyholes nor the Lacrosses can see through a roof or into a cave.
A very rough guess is that the US spends about $15 billion a year on space-based intelligence gathering. This includes the classic optical intelligence satellites, such as the KH-12 series; radar satellites, commonly referred to as the Lacrosse series, owned and operated by the National Reconnaissance Office, under what is now called the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA); signal intelligence and electronic intelligence satellites controlled by the NSA and DIA; and the space-based communications networks that feed the data from these satellites to the analysts and users on Earth. The replacement cost of this array is probably in the $100 to $200 billion range. The value of the trained personnel involved in running this system is incalculable.
So the question arises, is all this worth it? The limitations of space-based intelligence are well known. Not even the best spy satellite can get inside the mind of a terrorist or a dictator. Neither the Keyholes nor the Lacrosses can see through a roof or into a cave. More seriously, they failed to give the US firm and timely information on Saddam's WMD program. This is the most serious shortcoming, and one that the next DCI will have to spend a lot of time thinking through.
Why did our hyperspectral and other highly advanced measurement and signature intelligence (Masint) effort fail to accurately identify and detect the WMD in Iraq and elsewhere? There are rumors that these systems did, in fact, see what looked like convoys carrying WMD materials from Iraq to Syria in the weeks before the US invasion last year. So far, however, these are still just rumors. We can build spectrometers that can detect the chemical composition of a planet's atmosphere hundreds of light years away, so why can we not accurately determine the existence of nerve gas stockpiles from three or four hundred miles up?
There has been a lot of talk about the need to reform America's whole intelligence organization. In his book Fixing Intelligence, General Bill Odom, former head of the NSA, has proposed a complete revamping of the system along sensibly functional lines. Yet, the whole "craft of intelligence," as Alan Dulles called it is, in fact, a "uniquely human endeavor." This is especially true for the analysis and interpretation aspects. The great virtue of technical intelligence is that it reduces, if not eliminates, all of the biases, both large and small, that inevitably creep into the estimates. A decoded message may or may not be true, but the spectral signature of a tank is much harder to fake.
Conventional wisdom in Washington seems to accept the idea that the US has depended too much on technology and not enough on people to gather the secret intelligence without which any nation cannot operate in the modern world. It might be worthwhile to take a careful look at this assumption. What if the problem was a dysfunctional technology development effort? What if the sensors on today's NRO spacecraft were inferior to those that the scientists at NASA are about to put into orbit around Saturn? What if only a very few analysts at the CIA were scientifically literate enough to determine if the IR signature from a given factory indicated that it was no longer making pesticides and was now making nerve gas? What if the problem with the intelligence community was not enough technology rather than too much?
|For decades, NRO's own spacecraft did the "real" work. Today, an imagery analyst can use products from American, European, Israeli, Indian, Russian, or Japanese satellites.
Our enemies have a pretty good idea of the capabilities of our spy satellites and they must keep track of when they are overhead. This ability to hide when they know that they are being observed limits, but does not eliminate, the usefulness of these systems. The Clinton-era Future Intelligence Architecture program was intended to somewhat remedy this by building and launching enough satellites so that no place on earth would be safe from persistent space-based observation. The program is seriously behind schedule and has suffered reported cost overruns of more than 100%. Recent reports indicate that this program is now back on track or at least out of the intensive care ward.
To compensate somewhat, the Bush administration has been purchasing remote sensing imagery from commercial sources, including DigitalGlobe and Space Imaging. For the NGA and the rest of the intelligence community, this has been a painful revolution. For decades, they were used to having exclusive control over the operations of America's spy satellites, civilian satellites, such as Landsat, and the French Spot may occasionally have provided useful additional imagery, but NRO's own spacecraft did the "real" work. Today, an imagery analyst can use products from American, European, Israeli, Indian, Russian, or Japanese satellites.
While the quality and quantity of imagery available to the US intelligence community may be constantly improving, the next DCI should take a long hard look at the ways the data are interpreted. There are all too few highly trained and experienced personnel, but that has always been a problem. What may be more important is a lack of investment in new technology that can transform the digital pixels into reliable information that consistently defeats the deception efforts of America's adversaries.

Lakeport, CA
June 10, 2007
A new series began this year called the One O One. If you add the distances of a 1.86mi swim, 80.6 mi bike and 18.6 mi run, the total equals 101, clever, isn't it??? Not only are the distances unique (3/4 IM length) but the prize purse is one of a kind in our sport. I skipped out on the first race in Bradenton, Fl; but when I looked closely into the race, the June event in Lakeport, CA looked pretty appealing. After researching the course and the participant lists I decided to sign up. It's been about 2 years since my last IM and about 6 years since I've completed this 3/4 IM distance.
I should also mention that I have decided to terminate my quest for the 2008 Olympics. Briefly, my motivation was low to train for the specific races (ITU & World Cup) as were my funds to chase these races around the world. I was in debt after the 2004 Olympic Trials and with my wedding a few months away my goals have changed. I do not regret my decision as there is always the possibility of an Olympics in a different sport...
Race morning in Lakeport saw clear skies and a small participant field. It's also been a long time since I've raced a small race and it was great!! The race organization as well as the plethora of volunteers through out race day and the the entire weekend was absolutely superb!
I was a bit more nervous than usual probably due to the fact that this was a long race and I was a bit under-trained. I was out to race this race and not merely to finish (although that is always the first goal, no matter what!)
The men and women pros had an in water start and a 5 minute lead on the amatuers. It was a wetsuit swim, but very quickly into the start I wish it wasn't as it got pretty warm as we swam the two loop course. I felt as though I couldn't quite get my rhythm together but managed to get in with a pack. I tried to keep it comfortable as I knew the swim was only the beginning of a long day. My time for the swim was 40:05 with a T1 time of 1:00.
I came out with a pack of men and women and was pretty quick upon exiting T1 as I eventually found out within a few miles of the bike course that I was in 3rd place. The bike was advertised as a flat course done three times. I don't know where these reports came from but it wasn't all that flat of a course. I'd actually call it rolling hills! It was a nice course although the roads were quite rough in spots and with each consecutive lap the wind began to increase. During the second lap, I noticed that the velcro that was holding my spare tubular had come loose and the tubular had slipped out of it's velcro grasp. I fiddled with it for about a minute and knew that I had lost some time on second place; but I couldn't afford to loose my spare, just in case.
These long races are always a learning experience no matter how many times you've raced. So, my learing experience during this race came on the second loop when I knew I needed to eat. I had started to feel sleepy during the ride. If I could, I would have stopped and taken a nap on the side of the road. It was the most bizzarre experience. I knew at that point that I needed food desperately if I was to hold onto third place. I missed food at a few aid stations and had eaten all of my gel that I had taped onto my bike. I was finally able to pick up my special needs bag as I rode through transition on my way to the third and final loop. I had a bit of trouble getting my goods out but eventually was able to. While digging around I was passed by a women. I tried to keep my eye on her for as long as I could, but my main concern was getting in the nutrition.
After eating and drinking I felt much better and was now focused once again to keep my mph as high as I could keep them...oh and not to get passed again!
I could tell that my cycling miles were not enough in the weeks leading up to this race. Note to self: Ride more in the months leading up to a long race!!
I came into T2 in fourth place after riding 80.6 miles in 3:51:23 (20.9 mph) and was glad to get off and start running. After my :43 transition, I was on a mission to run some girls down!
The only flat section of the run was in the beginning and it only lasted for a mile at the most. The rest of the run was either up hill or down hill! I kept a strong pace and at the only out and back section (maybe a mile each way) I was able to see how far ahead the women in front of me where. I didn't see first place who was minutes ahead of me, but I did see second and third place probably a minute ahead of me and as I made the turn around I saw fifth place like a bullet train out of control. How long could I hold Kim off??? Maybe a little over a minute. She eventually came up along side of me just long enough for each of us to say "good job" to one another and then she moved ahead. We were on a gradual up hill where you can see a good distance in front and there about :30 ahead was second and third place. I was now in fifth place, but that would only last for two left hand turns as I passed Karen Holloway and Heather Wurtele (Kim had ran into second at this point). I was now back in third place by mile 7 of the run. Now all I had to do was at least keep myself in this position for the second loop of 9 miles.
I should mention that as you complete the first loop of the run, the course takes you the outide of the transition area by the crowd of spectators before heading out on the undulating course. The mantra that I remember saying to myself for the remaining loop was "top 3 for me, top 3 for me!" Over and over I kept repeating this little saying until it was a constant hum in my mind. At the turn around I kept a watchful eye on who was behind me and how far away there where. But to my surprise I saw no one. I was safe for now. Towards the end of the run, even though I knew I was tired and I'm sure my pace had slipped, I had a renewed burst of energy as "Top 3 for me" was now a solid reality! I looked one last time as I rounded the last corner and saw no one...I had finished in 3rd place with a run time of 2:18:21 and an overall time of 6:51:31. I was approximately 12 minutes behind 1st place and 9 minutes ahead of fourth place!
I had forgotten how long these races lasted but I know what I do a half IM it will feel short...at least I hope!
After this fantastic race, the organzers and the volunteers I am contemplating on signing up for another 101.

Construction is known as one of the country's most dangerous industries to work for. Construction workers in Illinois face dangers from numerous sources, including electricity. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, 78 electricians were fatally injured on the job across the country in 2014, an increase by 14 from the previous year. In fact, 9 percent of fatal workplace injuries among contracted workers involved electricity in 2014.
Working near electricity or on electrical cables or wiring poses numerous risks in addition to fatal electrocution, states the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration. A worker may be severely burned by a high-voltage electrical shock. Electrical accidents may also present hazards in the form of arc flashes or blasts, fires and explosions.
Construction hazards involving electricity are most often caused by contact with energized sources or power lines, or by using cords improperly. For example, a worker may suffer a shock by working on a line that had not been de-energized as it should have been. An electrocution may also occur if a worker isn't taking proper grounding measures, such as wearing insulated boots or avoiding wet surfaces while working with live cables.
Some electricians work with hot wires, meaning they are intentionally left energized. A disastrous accident may occur if the worker doesn't utilize safety equipment or does not have the proper training to work with live electricity. Finally, electric shock is common when power tools are still in use after the cords have frayed or become damaged. To prevent an accident, these tools should be repaired or taken out of service.
Construction work requires employees to always be mindful of the dangers they face. This especially involves electricity.

I've heard about Denman's brushes before, but I never actually considered a brush brand worthy of my interest.ReplyDelete
I recently got the Tangle Teezer and it works like a charm - this looks like it uses the same... technique, but with professional materials, if that makes any sense?
Kat B - Katience
I absolutely love Denman brushes, I've had one for years and years, probably since my teens and I need a new one but I just can't bare to be parted from it xxReplyDelete
Those are exactly the types of brushes I love to use! And that one is quite affordable as well.ReplyDelete

- Description:
- Doll Eye-genus Actaea Hardy Planting Zones- 4-9 Sun or Shade – Partial Shade Mature Height - 1-3" Mature Width- 12" Bloom Season – Late Spring (May-June) Gardener Status- Novice
Here's how your plants will look on arrival. All plants are dormant with no leaves or foliage.
The Baneberry plant, also known as bugbane or cohosh, is a flowering plant that is indigenous to the subtropical regions of Europe, Asia, and North America and belongs to the buttercup family. It is known as the "doll's eye" plant because its berries resemble eyeballs with deep purple pupils at the end. The leaves of the plant are compound and have flowering sections on the stems. It is an herbaceous perennial and can grow from 12 to 30 inches in height at maturity with a slightly higher spread in woodland regions with moist, nutrient-rich soil and some partial tree shade. The Baneberry is best suited for growing in USDA plant hardiness zones three to eight. The minimum weather the baneberry can handle is -40 degrees to 20 degrees Fahrenheit. After planting in late autumn and winter, the Baneberry yields white flower clusters during the May through June summer months. More specifically, Red Baneberry produces its berries during May in the first half of the summer while white berries sprout in June and the later summer months.
Additionally, a black variety exists with showier flowers and is thus a better choice for landscaping than either the red or white varieties. Once planted, care for the plant is minimal although it should regularly be watered in hot, dry weather. As a plant used in landscaping, one would be advised to plant carefully around wandering children as the berries themselves are poisonous and can lead to cardiac arrest. However, the roots of the plant have been used by Native Americans as an aid in menstrual cramping and menopausal discomfort. The plant's medium height makes it a great addition to the middle section of a perennial bed. The white berries have pinkish stems that allow the plant bed to pop and will garner more attention than the casual glance.
The Baneberry Plant is a perennial wildflower that will bloom in the summer months of July and August. The blooms are a spectacular white through summer. These give way to berries in the fall that will attract a variety of birds, squirrels, and other wildlife. This wildflower can also provide color from very early spring all the way through summer and into the autumn months. It is quite a hardy plant and very easy to grow.

As a lover of books, design books in particular, this site wasn't hard to fall in love with. But what caught my eye and what I found worth sharing was the way the site made use of a very literal visual—the bookshelf full of books. What sold me on it was the fact that they didn't beat the theme to death. Using a literal theme like this in a restrained way is far more effective than going overboard with it.

After six years away, Black Mountain return with what some might call their definitive album.
The rock canon has many anti-heroes, Black Mountain being the latest. In the past, Can's 'Tago Mago' established that the only rule in rock and roll is that there are no rules. Pink Floyd's prodigious output in the 70s showed us that architecture can be cool, while delinquent protometallers Black Sabbath demonstrated that you can make a lot from not that much. Now Black Mountain teach us that you don't have to be afraid of the past to move bravely into the future, defining what it is to be a classic rock band in the new millennium.
'IV' is an unapologetically ambitious record made by a group of musicians who are at the peak of their powers.

What I Made
Not the gift, just the wrapping. My true joy.
This is for a wedding in a lovely garden, but I wish I was taking this gift to a party on a yacht.

I bought sadie a shirt at old navy that looks just like that paper. if i put a yellow bow in her hair they would be twins.ReplyDelete
Around Christmas in 2007, we were staying the night at your parents' house, and your dad was giving us an update on what everyone in your family was up to. He mentioned that you had a seasonal job as a "wrapper," and said you were really good at it. This just proves his point. So beautiful.ReplyDelete
If I received a present wrapped as such I surely wouldn't open it, and I'd be happy as a mollusk. For future reference, Gudri needs no gift—just a well-wrapped empty box.ReplyDelete

ROME, Jan 26 (Reuters) - Lazio suffered a shock 1-0 home defeat by mid-table Chievo Verona on Saturday to miss the chance to put pressure on Serie A leaders Juventus.
Alberto Paloschi's goal 61 minutes into an uneventful match inflicted second-placed Lazio's first loss since early November and they remained on 43 points, five behind the champions. Chievo moved up a place to 11th on 28 points.
Striker Paloschi tapped home his seventh goal in 10 appearances this season after Bojan Jokic's shot crashed against the bar and fell at the striker's feet, dealing a huge blow to Lazio's title hopes.
Juventus take on struggling Genoa in Turin in Saturday's late game (1945 GMT) with Antonio Conte's side looking to extend their lead at the top of Serie A to eight points. (Reporting by Terry Daley, editing by Ed Osmond)
