About US
DoD SENIOR PROFESSIONAL WOMEN'S ASSOCIATION
The DoD Senior Professional Women's Association (SPWA) objectives are to expand opportunities for professional development, training and education for all DoD employees and to increase the number of women in mid- and senior-level positions in the DoD.
The Association was formed in 1977 to represent the interests of senior professional women and provide a networking venue for women in the midst of a significant DoD reorganization and anticipated reduction-in-force. Since that time, membership has expanded to include members from most DoD Components – OSD, the Defense Agencies and Field Operating Agencies as well as the Military Services.
In its endeavors to promote the advancement of women and support their participation in policy and decision-making at all levels of DoD, the SPWA has served as a forum for DoD professionals to meet and discuss issues relevant to their current work, their careers and their daily lives. The main venue for exchange is the SPWA monthly luncheon, at which senior Department officials and other prominent professionals speak to members and guests. Luncheon sessions are geared to increasing awareness of Defense policies, emphasizing professional development, promoting healthy life styles, and providing strategies for successfully managing family and financial responsibilities.
Membership is open to current and retired DoD civilians GS-12 and higher; current and retired military members grades E-7, WO-2, and O-3 and above; and contractors serving DoD in a senior role.

I am an Herbalist, Energy Healer and Naturopath; I started The Healing Path to treat conditions that seem to slip through the cracks of allopathic medicine like Fibromyalgia; Epstein Barr as well as Autoimmune Disorders such as Alopecia Areata; Lupus; Arthritis and Crohn's Disease.
I had Alopecia Totalis from 1984 until I cured myself in 1995 with an herbal tincture [extract] I developed called Endocrine Strengthener.
My herbal tinctures are all original formulas; thoughtfully handcrafted and imbued with Healing Energy. It is my belief that herbs possess an innate intelligence that communicates with the body?s inner wisdom allowing it to achieve health, balance and wellbeing. I have created a system so that the layperson can have healing energy at their disposal anytime they choose.

CBS posted a statement on the official "Jericho" bulletin board and said that they will wrap up the story line they left hanging when they canceled the show. Nina Tassler, CBS Entertainment president, said: "We truly appreciate the commitment you made to the series, and we are humbled by your disappointment. In the coming weeks, we hope to develop a way to provide closure to the compelling drama that was the Jericho story. We have read your e-mails over the past few days and have been touched by the depth and passion with which you have expressed your disappointment," Tassler wrote. "Please know that canceling a television series is a very difficult decision. Hundreds of people at the network, the production company and the incredibly talented creative team worked very hard to build and serve the community for this show - - both on-air and online. It is a show we loved, too. Thank you for supporting Jericho with such passion."
Hulk and the Avengers
Zak Penn spoke to MTV and said here: "Of course he's going to be green. I always felt about Ferrigno and the makeup was a much more naturalistic version of the Hulk. And that's what we're trying to go back to. His skin will appear more real. In the first movie he was so green. He's not going to be bright green. It's not going to have the split screen and all that stuff because it's more like a real thriller, man on the run, fugitive style movie. Avengers' is definitely going to happen; the idea was always to do a crossover with multiple superheroes. I'm waiting to let 'Iron Man' and 'Hulk' come out because those are two characters that could appear in it. I used to think that movie would be impossible to make but now I feel like it's not."
Sean McNamara will direct the live action/CGI feature "Robosapien" for Avi Arad and Steven Paul's Crystal Sky Pictures. Based on the robot toy, the script is by Arad and Max Botkin. The film has a budget of $25 million-$30 million, and starts production in November in the United States.
Kane & Lynch
Lionsgate wants Jieho Lee to direct the feature version of the videogame "Kane & Lynch: Dead Men" from Eidos Interactive. Centering on Mercenary Kane and medicated psychopath Lynch meeting while being transported to death row. The pair team to seek revenge on a shadowy organization for which Kane once worked. Two different scripts are being written, one by Kyle Ward and the other by Bob DeRosa.
Brodie's Law
Darclight is producing a feature film version of the graphic novel "Brodie's Law," by Daley Osiyemi & David Bircham. The tale is of Jack Brodie, an East end gangster, expert thief and professional killer, who gains the ability to steal his victims' souls and take on their appearance, memories and feelings. Kirsten Elms adapted the script and Renny Harlin will direct.

Infinity Express
Cecil W. McCall loved his Uncle Shelby. When the old man disappeared and was presumed dead, it affected him greatly. Then came the package, his uncle's legacy. In the package were Time Bands: devices that promised to take the wearer back in time. But Uncle Shelby hadn't left much in the way of instructions. So when McCall accidentally set them off, he was thrown back into the Victorian era, without much preparation. Being a comic and a trivia expert wasn't a lot of help, but being a history nut was. When he saw he was in the England of Jack The Ripper he knew what he had to do. With the aid of Arthur Conan Doyle & the Real Sherlock Holmes, he sets out to catch the Ripper, find his Uncle and go home. On the way he meets Adam Worth (The Real Professor Moriarty), Dr. Treves & The Elephant Man, Bram Stoker, Gilbert & Sullivan, Gaston Leroux, William Brodie, Rasputin and the Real Dracula.
He also runs into a time-traveling salesman,
Time Police and the forerunners of the Mafia.
And that is only the beginning . . .

Keywords: diamond, grain boundaries, fracture properties, electronic properties, simulation
Two modeling techniques used to characterize fracture behavior of polycrystalline diamond films are discussed. The first technique is a multiscale modeling method in which atomic level calculations on selected structures are combined with an analytic mesoscale model to obtain cleavage energies for symmetric <001> tilt grain boundaries (GBs) over the entire misorientation range. The second technique is large-scale atomistic simulation of the dynamics of failure in notched polycrystalline diamond samples under an applied load. Electronic characteristics of selected <001> symmetrical tilt GBs calculated with a semiempirical tight-binding Hamiltonian are also presented, and the possible role of graphitic defects on field emission from polycrystalline diamond is briefly discussed.

Not a lot of value here to be had to be honest with this game unless you bet on dig 1 map or mouz 2-0. Dig have a really small map pool and can pretty much only really play Mirage and Inferno. They are okay on train too. Mouz have a good map pool and I do think they will leave in Mirage as they will favour themselves to win it vs dig, but I hope they play it smart and remove one of the maps dig likes to play. As long as only 1 of those three maps comes out then this should be a pretty comfortable game for the mouz side and I would wait for the veto and then risk going 2-0 mouz depending on where we end up. If we do see Mirage or inferno then betting on then handicap for dig might be okay.

"A discounted LTC® franchise is a terrific business opportunity."
Monroe, CT (PRWEB) September 26, 2017
Lice Treatment Center®, one of the nation's leading franchises, reported that it just completed its annual round of opening day school lice check sessions. Scores of schools and camps now contract for LTC's Lice Insurance™ Programs which provide regularly scheduled lice checks throughout the year. LTC's certified professional technicians deliver all-natural lice removal services whenever infestations are discovered at the schools and camps.
Lice Treatment Center's co-founder, Liz Solovay stated, "This year, with the increased reports of "super lice" infestations from schools nationwide combined with the adoption of No Nit policies in many states, we are getting asked for help regularly from communities we currently can't service. The incidence of "super lice" infestations and adoption of No Nit policies that require the immediate dismissal of any and all children who have head lice, eggs and/or nits on their hair is causing a real problem in many states. In California, Texas, Florida, Arizona, Georgia, North Carolina, Louisiana and Illinois, specifically, requests for our lice removal services have more than tripled in 2017. This presents us and motivated entrepreneurs with incredible opportunities to both expand the footprint of our brand and help would-be business owners in those states enter a booming industry with skyrocketing demand and comparatively little competition.
"As a result", continued Solovay, "we are looking for several motivated entrepreneurs to join our team of successful LTC® franchisees. As an incentive, we will offer a significantly reduced franchise fee. Until now, the initial franchise fee for a Lice Treatment Center® franchise has been $25,000. Now, a valuable LTC® franchise can be purchased for only $12,500. We think it's a terrific business opportunity."
LTC®'s Medical Director and co-founder, Dr. Elin Cohen, a Harvard-educated pediatrician, developed LTC's comprehensive system and its full-line of all-natural non-toxic treatment and repellent products. And since 2005, LTC® has been a national leader in the field of lice education, treatment and offering on-site assistance for individuals, camps, schools, and other venues where head lice outbreaks occur. Ms Solovay went on to say, "As a Lice Treatment Center® franchisee, entrepreneurs not only have a profitable business opportunity they will also join a successful franchise network that provides their respective communities with professional, standardized lice treatment."

I also managed to get some pictures of a building that has fascinated me for some time. As vibrantly colored as it is, it seems to be shut down and no longer functioning as a space for artists. What a waste.
I think the quote on the rainbow colored house is wonderful:
Creation is first of all an act of destruction.
Pablo Picasso
I also finally got around to getting a shot of this mural on the side of a building called The Lafayette that I have enjoyed viewing over the years.

Picture Day Friday: Victorian Food Art
Thanks to Loretta Chase for bringing Edible Artistry to my attention.
A basket of flowers made in fruit-flavoured water ices
According to Ivan Day of Food History Jottings: "By the 1880s, this highly ornamental style of cuisine was being practiced by home cooks as well as professionals. Cookery schools like that of Mrs Agnes B. Marshall in Mortimer Street, London were not only teaching housewives and domestic cooks how to make these spectacular dishes, but also sold you the necessary moulds, cutters and other equipment."
Mrs. Marshall sounds like the Victorian version of Jamie Oliver or Rachael Ray, doesn't she?
Ivan Day is an independent social historian of food culture and also a professional chef and confectioner.


text: I think it's not a big secret the fact that I'm a big fan of British stunner Sam Webb and judging from his latest digitals at Select Model Management you'll certainly understand why I like him so much. Just take a look at these images, because he looks so good and this is pretty unfair, especially if you think that the pictures aren't digitally manipulated. He's certainly a lucky boy, because he's got fabulous looks, a strong confidence and a magnetic charisma.

We dated...for only 6 months!
And then we got engaged...on my 22nd birthday!
And on June 24, 2006 we said "I Do!"
The next day we were off on our honeymoon to Hawaii!
We bought our first house...
And we bought and moved into our second house!
We've been lucky enough to travel...to St. Thomas...
...and to Europe (among other places, including 13 states)!
In April '09, we became a family of three...
...and just 9 days ago, we became a family of four!
I'd say we have accomplished quite a lot over the last six years as a married couple! I can't wait to see what the future holds for us. Happy 6th Anniversary to us!

Safe Drive Stay Alive
Safe Drive Stay Alive is celebrating its 12th year in 2017 and has performed to over 200,000 young people since its first performances in 2005. Safe Drive Stay Alive has become a firm fixture in the education calendar and year 12 students from John Madejski Academy attend each year. The Safe Drive Stay Alive presentation is aimed at new and pre-drivers in an emotive and hard-hitting way, influencing behaviour and attitude on the roads. On 7th November our new intake of year 12 students attended the presentation at the Hexagon in Reading and listened to the real life stories of the Police, Paramedics, Firemen and Doctors and how they have dealt with road traffic accidents involving young people. They also heard the difficult but powerful story of a mother who lost her daughter in a car accident and the story of a young woman who has is now disabled due to having an accident while driving her car too fast.
We hope that all our students will take on board the messages given in the performance and are safe on the roads as they are start on their journey as drivers.

The Cuteness of Baby Jude

Two concerts in ONE WEEK
Last week I had the opportunity to go last minute to two shows, one at a coffee shop in downtown Tampa called Buddy Brew, and one at The Venue in Bartow.
The first I found out about very last minute and was headlined by a Canadian band called Lauren Mann and the Fairly Odd Folk. The second was a show that my friend David was opening for a girl named Kourtney Rea.
I really enjoyed both shows and got to do some video for the second. I love music and concerts are one of my favorite things ever, and I especially enjoy finding new music!
Here are some of the pics!
Lauren Mann and the Fairly Odd Folk
This is actually Joel Davis of Fistful and Ascend the Hill.
And from David's show, other performers included Anthony Lunetta, Steven Stanley, and Kourtney Rea.

Is Danny Gokey the next American Idol?
Audition City:
Home town:
Judges Audition:
Top 36:
I want to vote so what is Danny Gokey's voting number?
Danny Donkey in the top spot? Maybe, if he went into the courtroom and could convince them that "jesus took the wheel."
Don't worry breath. When you are on your last breath... you wished that you have listened to Danny's christian music and that you have let Jesus take the wheel off from you...Hope you have a blessed day my friend.
gokey has been singing up-tempo music A LOT lately.
i think those are not his best choices.
he should pick a slow, emotional song because he could showcase his range better through songs that are stripped down.
oh also, dont dance and do the crazy hand-movements!! it was painful to watch
I think Danny is amazing, you can feel every word he sings, you can feel his pain, and the love he has. He doesn't have to speak a word about his wife and he hasn't since the begining, you can just see his eyes and tell what he is thinking and feeling. To me that makes him so remarkable. He has the sexiest voice and to be honest if I heard Adam on the radio I would change it, I mean he is amazing he is so talented to watch, but just to listen to. Naaa I would rather all day any day listen to Danny. I am voting for you and I so hope you win. He is my next Chris Daughtry. :)
danny the funny one ! you must win win win win !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Danny's voice is so unique. He is a true talent and to all of you out there bringing up his story; I believe he has not mentioned anything about his story since before Hollywood week. Adam is very good but lets face it he sings like girl, with that said he is very entertaining. But in the end Danny has the better voice and I suggest you all lay off his story. It is more painful then you could ever imagine and it seems like you guys are the ones that keep bringing it up. GO DANNY and ADAM!!!
Danny, you do have talent. To me you are bound for Christian music, where I will never hear from you again.
No matter who the person is that wins there will always be people there to knock them down. This is a Singing compation for a next up and comming star, People forget these people are only human and make misstakes listen to bad advice at times and are just trying to find thier way, I think Danny is a verry good singer and yes his personality helps him along, but lets face it who wants to have another Talor Hicks on our hands. Lets face it that was all our own doing. He should have never won. As for Adam I think he is more set for Broadway he is too over the top for me and i don't think he is in the right kind of singing compation he over sings and over kills alot of his songs with screaming that makes him a love/hate contestent but I would not be upset to see him go home. I would be upset to loose Danny and NOT because he lost his wife.
He can speak about the death of his wife because he is a strong individual. He is very touching in his songs and you can see his emotion in the songs... and especially the song what hurts the most-that was straight up for his wife....He is being strong you dont know how he is behind closed doors...he might be a mess so quit judging when you dont know ANYTHING about anybody...people handle things differently and im sure his wife would be EXTREMELY proud of him and everything he is doing. He lost the love of his life...let danny be danny maybe singing helps him to be stong. GO DANNY.
Okay, so I am just wondering when all of these "judges" on here (who are LUDICROUS btw).....tried out for American Idol?
The bottom line is: If you don't like someone, don't vote for them. Many of you are talking about Danny and his wife. See, here is the thing. Are you aware that there is a "Sophias Heart" foundation and it is completely non-profit? So much for a "user" and a "milker" huh? He started that foundation to honor his wifes memory.
Just about everyone on the show has a sob story of some kind. Lil and her tornado and 3 kids, Scott and his lack of eyesight, Adam and his failure on Broadway, Last Years Josiah living in a car. Give me a break people. You need to check out that plank hanging out of your own eye, before pointing out the specks of sawdust in others. I'm just sayin'.
Danny is going to win, hands down!
Danny is amazing, God has blessed him so much.
Just shows how faithful God is even when you lose the love of your l ife! =D
Go Danny!
hi! i think this my best single so i wish he's the winner of this year. so go Danny!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i agree with you. the only ones i want to see in the end are Danny, Allison, and Anoop maybe Kris too. Megans gotta go..that dance...WTF... scott he's not bad i just dont think he's that good...Matt..im sorry i cant stand that thing on his face..he is not cute and just a justin timberlake wanna be...ugh... lil rounds is good but im not too sure yet...and kris proves alot last night...excpet when he sings he makes funny expressions. Those are just my opinon though.. I think this season is a GREAT one
oh yea and Adam how could i forget the one that screams when he sings... yea maybe he's got it but what is he going to REALLY sing when he gets out...pop..r&B..rock... i mean really... hes original but this is not drama class..
When people finally realise how fake Danny really is? His story about loosing wife is definitely touching. However, how can a guy, who "really" loves his wife speak about her death after only 6 weeks later (during the first auditions) without a tear in his eye. It just shows how manipulative the whole story is. His family a friends with his late wife's picture in hands during the show - another confirmation of scrupulous plans. Although I think that he is good singer, I can't wait to see him go from this competition. My votes would definitely go to Matt, Alison or Adam, who showed not only great voices and individuality, but sincere and true personality too. They don't need any "touching story" to get them through. Any of those three will be great winner of this year's show.
Ditto! Danny since beginning was much more into his boyfriend than his wife. I cannot believe that people question Adam's sexuality and not Danny's! I personally care less, but he should certainly step out of his closet and let himself free...he would be happier rather than hiding it! Also, no offense, but Danny also reminds me of a clumsy dancing seal....I am a huge animal lover, but I just think that he is too comical in his performances. He seems to have that one trick (one ponnie trick) and all of his songs sound so same..... NO WAY someone can even compare him to Adam! Adam has outperformed everyone in this competition long time ago. It is one incredibly amazing performance after another! GO ADAM!
you think he's fake?
you think he's using that story to get more votes?
he told his story to be inspirational and to help explain his emotions through the songs he sings.. not to get more votes.
he's an amazing singer, with tons of talent, and i'm sure his wife wanted him to live his life and continue on becoming a singer.
and he did shed a tear. but even if he didn't that doesn't automatically mean that he doesn't care about his wife's death.
jeeez don't judge unless you actually go through what he's going through.
yeah thats true we have to vote for danny even i cant vote because i am here in the Philippines but i am to supported Danny gokey..! have a nice day.
No offense Lauren, but I can't believe that his intention was being inspirational. Anyway, what I wanted to say is that I have much more respect and appreciation for contestants that fight in this competition only with what this competition is about - with the power of their voice and entertainment rather than bringing up moving stories from their lives. I am sure that each person has a smaller or bigger story to tell, the life is not easy for all of us, but it is up to each person whether they use this for his / her advantage or not. Again, my respect to those, who can do without it and fight FAIR.
Yeah well everyone seems to have a sob story if you haven't noticed..
Megan and Alexis being young moms, Lil's story, Scott with his eyesight, etc.
Everyone laid out their life stories, so you can't act like Danny is the only one.
i like all...
Guys! If not the story about his wife he'd be nothing but another white guy trying to sing like a black guy and doing it all wrong. His voice is okay buy he is no Marvin Gaye.
OMG! Danny is sooooooo DORKY....and what a yawner!!!
how the heck is he trying to sing like a black guy?
Ok....am I the only one that thinks that Megan is corny and ridiculous?? I liked her at first, but when she did that dumb little dance of hers, she looked like a 5 yr old singing at a pageant! I don't think she is all THAT but she sure acts like she thinks she is!! It's almost like she EXPECTS to get through!
THANK YOU!! . I can not stand Megan . And im like you, at first i was like hmm okay, i kinda like this girl . but then she sings "rocking Robbin???!!!" Like its american idol and its pretty serious!! . and last weeks performance when Simon said she was in trouble. the next day (voting off day) when ryan was going to annouce who was going to the bottom 3 shes doing a little dance like she just knows she is going to go trough . I want her leave!! i hate her!!
Danny Gokey and Adam Lambert ROCK!!! My prediction: they will be the final two.
Adam has such range and a comfortableness on the stage....he owns the stage...he is bigger than the stage. His vocals are amazing!!! I can't stop watching him...he is a star already...very exciting for him and his family. I don't care that they say he's a bit dramatic from his stage experience...he's a triple threat...I would go see him in a theatre or a concert. Any show of his would be worth seeing.
And, Danny...what can you say about Danny other than what everyone feels...he touches the soul of everyone who hears him. He is beautiful inside and out. He has a very distinctive soul sound...he has a raspy sexy voice....his musical talent is unbelievable. He hits it out of the park every time. And, I loved his dancing in addition to his vocals on PYT....it was real! I couldn't take my eyes off of him. He had my undivided attention during that performance. He's just the best and quite possibly 2009's winner. Can't wait for his CD.
My best to the sexy young men of Idol...go Danny..keep rockin Adam. The lambergokie train will be driving right into the finals.
I don't think so, Imo Adam will win and danny will be the runner up!
Danny must not win this competition!
He's an ok singer, but please - star quality, no way, and without the sob-story he'd be nothing.
I hate the way they always have to use the 'story' to pick these people, and he is pretty unlikeable otherwise.
I agree. Without the sob story...ok voice, but no star quality...At least david cook kept the story about his brother out of the media. He didn't want it to be 'about' his brother. Unlike Danny, who has milked the death of his wife since the audition...
Danny didn't milk anything...the producers "produce" the show. Don't show such disrespect for his loss.
disgusted w/ you is right, danny made it to the top 8 because of his talent not because he wanted people to like him because of his loss. show some respect dude!?!?! how would u feel if it were you?

To add clutter to the confusion, there are many books and info and occasionally misinformation you can find in the libraries, music shops and on the web. The most frustrating factor is that numerous of these…
There numerous techniques to be a great singer. Most singing teachers in fact invent their personal singing system and methodology to teach their singing students. Every strategy and singing technique will normally incorporate vocal workout routines, singing tactics, abilities and ideas.
To add clutter to the confusion, there are a lot of books and info and sometimes misinformation you can locate in the libraries, music shops and on the world wide web. Dig up additional info on my ultralite nutrition by browsing our cogent wiki. The most frustrating factor is that several of these products and books come with contradictory data.
With this abundance of data, you could be studying singing techniques that conflict with each other and this could be really detrimental to your singing help system and occasionally the damage done may possibly be irreversible. My mom learned about lane sebring by searching books in the library. A lot of exciting singing careers were destroyed since of understanding incorrect singing techniques.
Take a appear at babies. They are breathing naturally with their diaphragm and they can throw their potent voices across the space when they cry to get your discover. How can they project their voice so naturally?
This is due to the fact nature has supplied us with the all-natural vocal mechanism to sing well and powerfully. It is when we adopt negative vocal habits as we grew older that the organic potential to be a excellent singer is lost and wants to be rekindled by good and correct vocal workout routines and singing ideas.
One challenge to very good singing is to combine a straightforward yet strong singing strategy with robust emotions. This wonderful human resources manager article has a few unique lessons for the meaning behind this thing. Strong emotions can break down a voice that is not educated with solid singing capabilities and tactics as a foundation. My father learned about lane sebring patriot power greens information by browsing books in the library. Excellent singing approach is the foundation to build the emotional aspect of singing.
For instance, if you pour out all your emotions in a song, you will know that anything does not sound correct in the singing sound you made. Pay focus to your inner feelings and you will know what sounds proper or wrong.
Profitable singing requires not only the will and potential to express your feelings in a song, but also the appropriate singing approach and capabilities. Considering that emotions are channeled by way of your singing help program, your technique should be fully developed for the emotion to come by means of powerfully and convincingly.
So to be a great singer, you must construct your voice and the support technique that make that voice. With a very good mastery of your voice mechanism, your own singing style and interpretation of songs will be a lot a lot more enhanced. You do not have to be concerned about sounding like a copy of other good singers when you perform.
Yes, there are born voices, but there are no born artists. Every single and each and every singer should develop his/her personal individual skills to be an outstanding artist. It is not just how very good a singing voice you have. It is what you can do with your individual vocal resources that is the crux of a great singer.
So acquiring introduced to a good singing teacher to assist you to hone your singing capabilities to perfection is needed if you want to be a excellent singer..

Phil just so happens to be the Chef de Cuisines at the world renowned Thomas Kellar restaurant located in Yountville, Bouchon. Kind of makes a culinary student a little nervous when cooking a side item for this crowd. As the host, Phil knocked out the turkey. The thighs were rolled into roasts, connected to the legs, and stuffed with truffles. Ridiculously good dark meat. By the way, check out the chest on that bird. I like white meat.

About one thousand people died from Hurricane Katrina. Our national government was scalded for its response (while the state or local governments were given a pass). The media convinces the public that our national government is evil and does not care about it citizens (especially African-Americans). We really need to think about what information the media is feeding us. Would you or the media prefer to live in Myanmar or China? Think of their government's response to its citizens after a devastating cyclone and earthquake hit those countries and killed nearly 200 thousand people. Thousands died in the aftermath from disease because of their government's incompetent response. Their governments also failed to take in humanitarian support from the United Nations and other countries that could have saved thousands of lives. The next time the media tries to fill our brains with propaganda; it will serve us well to think of the big picture so as not to be easily influenced by their agenda. The media wants you to believe our government is failing its citizens and will not report stories fairly. This is especially true if they have personal vendetta against the President. I am sure the medias response would be different had this occurred under Obama's watch. If we look at the big picture, we are extremely lucky to be living in this country and nobody should forget that.
Rebuilding New Orleans is problematic at best. Is it wise to rebuild a city that is below sea level that will be hit by another hurricane in the future? No, it makes absolutely no sense because another disaster is waiting to happen. Secondly, the wide range of scandals and fraud that have cost the government billions of dollars has exasperated the slow rebuilding rate. It is somewhat ironic that most of the fraud and scandals are associated with New Orleans. The Mississippi Gulf shoreline took a direct hit from Katrina. However, New Orleans, obtained most of the damage because the levies broke. They were only designed to withstand a category three hurricane. It should not come as a surprise that the levies could not withstand the water surge since they got hit with a category four hurricane. The Mississippi coast got hit with the highest winds, and there was significant damage. However, Mississippi got cleaned up with very little scandals and fraud. Mississippi certainly had its issues during the clean up effort, but it did not get the press that New Orleans received. Granted it should have been cleaned up faster, since New Orleans had much more damage. Also, the potential for fraud and scandal is higher in New Orleans since they received most of the funding. But we should not have to make excuses for New Orleans and their handling of the clean up effort.
Even before the Katrina scandal, Louisiana seemed to have a scandal in the news every six months. Their police force had been labeled as the nations most corrupt, and one of their House of Representative members, William Jefferson, is currently being investigated for racketeering and fraud. In fact, newly elected governor Bobby Jindal's main objective is to clean up Louisiana's image from corruptions and scandals. The amount of scandal and fraud from Katrina should not surprise anyone since there is a pattern and trend of corruption in the region.
The federal government certainly made many mistakes and is accountable for allowing the fraud and scandals. However, the people of Louisiana and the local government have done more to slow the progress of repairing New Orleans since they are primarily responsible for the scandals and fraud. After all, it did not happen in Mississippi. Twelve months following Katrina, Mayor Nagin visited his city of New Orleans two times from his Houston, Texas home. President Bush visited eight times. Nagin is the Mayor of this city, and it is his job to be there and help with the reconstruction. Instead, Nagin sat in his nice Houston, Texas home, and every time he got a chance to speak, he criticized the federal government. To make things worse, he generally followed his federal government criticism with a racist and insensitive remark to help further divide his city and the country. He is another example of a poor minority leader, yet he was still re-elected shortly after Katrina.

We just finished our statistics course this Friday by completing a take-home exam. I have to admit that this course was challenging for various reasons but it really does all come together at the end. I was impressed that I could apply the different techniques and models that we hard learned during class to a particular case study to make informed decisions. Sometimes we just need to continue through a course, even if we don't understand everything fully, and trust that it really all will come together in the end.
But even though I'm happy to see it all come together, I'm always happy that it's over! I think we're going to celebrate with a Steak and Stats night (minus the Stats). Cheers!

Day Forty-Three: Bleep
"Kakashi?" Sakura called out, still laying on his back as he carried her. Kakashi only hummed his acknowledgement, saving his breath since he'd been running for a while already today.
"How did you know that I knew when the deal would take place?" The question almost made him trip on his on feet. She what?
"Y-You know when?" The girl on his back remained silent for a while. So long, in fact, that he started getting nervous.
It wasn't that long before she slipped right off him and her fist met with the ground, shattering it all around them save for the spot where she stood. The jonin groaned as he landed on his chest, having tripped on one of the protruding pieces before he could see it
"You mean you didn't know?!" The chuunin shouted behind him, wheezing to catch her breath after.
"You gave the scroll... to... Koroku without..." Before she could finish her sentence, she dropped to her knees, struggling to breathe.
"Sakura, you were about to be killed." The jonin started as he got to his feet and turned to her. "I didn't have a choice."
"I can't believe you." She whispered as he hauled her on his back once more, ignoring the weak kicks and punches she delivered. "How could you?!"
"After I went through all that to get the info..." She growled as she leaned her head against his shoulder, her movements dying down. "You could have ruined it all."
Her voice was growing weaker and weaker with each word. The Copy Nin had to admit, he couldn't recall a time where he had been called so many times. Where did she even get such a diverse cussing vocabulary? Sweet Sakura certainly had her surprises.
"Sakura..." His baritone voice warned after a little while. "You can scream at me all you want once we're back home, but please save your breath for now. You're about to pass out." He was quite relieved when she didn't even bother replying.
"I already told you, Sakura..." He whispered, half hoping that she wouldn't be able to hear him. "I... I love you. I couldn't bear losing you."
"But what if that had cost the lives of our comrades, instead?" He heard her say, making guilt rise as a heavy lump in his chest. "What if my life had cost that of dozens of Leaf nin? They're as important to others as I am to you..."
He didn't know what to say. He'd been aware of it when he made the decision, yet he hadn't cared. To see Sakura on the verge of death had been too much, enough for him to accept giving up everything he cared for, just for her.
"I'm sorry, Sakura..." The jonin sighed, unable to find better words. "I just couldn't watch you die. Even if in the end it was selfish, I would do it all over again if it meant I could have you with me."

The study programme imparts general software engineering and management skills, as well as specialized skills in two major software application domains: enterprise systems and embedded real-time systems. The program is delivered jointly by Estonia's two largest universities: University of Tartu and Tallinn University of Technology. Students graduating from this program obtain degrees from both universities.
The international Master's programme with three main specialties - Cyber Security, Digital Forensics and Cryptography - provides students with core skills in wide aspects of the security of information systems and specialized skills in the chosen specialization. Students get a unique chance to study under high-level cyber security practitioners from Estonian banks, telecoms, law enforcement, CERT and the NATO Cooperative Cyber Defence Centre of Excellence.
The programme is taught jointly by the two largest public universities in Estonia. The Cyber Security and Digital Forensics studies are concentrated in Tallinn, while Cryptography specialization is concentrated in Tartu. Upon successful completion of the programme students will receive a joint degree signed by both universities - Tallinn University of Technology and University of Tartu.
Cyber Security
The public focus on the field of cyber security is growing around the world. Estonia is well known for its eagerness to put innovative IT solutions into everyday use. It is a pioneer in electronic identities and electronic voting and enthusiastically adopts mobile technology, online banking and electronic government services. However, with so many e-solutions and such extensive use of the internet, attention also needs to be turned to the security issue.
Digital Forensics
Digital forensics is a branch of forensic science encompassing the recovery and investigation of material found in digital devices, often in relation to computer crime. The area is becoming critical for both data security and law enforcement and is involved in a complicated interplay between surveillance and counter-surveillance issues.
Robotics and Computer Engineering is a 2-year Master's programme that trains highly qualified roboticists, computer and space engineers. The programme provides broad knowledge in the field of robotics, computer engineering or space technology. Graduates can work in enterprises or research and development centres connected to their field of study.
The University of Tartu researchers have developed a variety of innovative devices: robotics mannequin which allows people to choose clothes online that fit them; artificial muscle which is used in manufacturing articifical ilmbs and robots; underwater robot. These are just a few examples of intelligent materials and systems laboratory.
ESTCube-1 was the first Estonian satellite which was built by the students from the University of Tartu, Estonian Aviation Academy, Tallinn University of Technology and the University of Life Sciences.
The International Master's Programme in Software Engineering imparts general software engineering and management skills, as well as specialized skills in two major software application domains: enterprise systems and embedded real-time systems. The program is delivered jointly by Estonia's two largest universities: University of Tartu and Tallinn University of Technology. Students graduating from this program obtain degrees from both universities.
The Master's program starts with a core module where you will acquire general software engineering skills, covering both technical aspects (systems modeling and programming) but also management skills. You will then choose one of two specialization modules: enterprise software (at University of Tartu) or embedded & real-time software (at Tallinn University of Technology). A range of elective and free-choice courses will allow you to further specialize or to broaden your horizons.
During the second year, you will put your skills into use, first via an internship or an entrepreneurial project, and secondly via a research or engineering project leading to the defense of a Master's thesis.

Pics: Baby helper, Brandi, on her "last day" (we know we will have her back often if possible) with all three. Daddy making bottles (though not a complete day's worth)late at night so we don't have to scramble in the morning. Kendall and Clark having a first try in the booster high chairs. Emma in her chair. Super-helper, Erica, with Clark.
We couldn't imagine what our lives would be like at this time last year. We knew the babies were on their way, though we had just found out that there were three. I think we were probably still in shock right about now. This week, I took the babies (along with Brandi, the helper) to see Dr. Harris (our fertility specialist). We lucked out that she was in between patients, so she was able to come to the lobby and chat a few minutes. She remembers that the last time she saw us our eyes were as big as saucers and we were completely shocked.
Yes, I think that describes it. Shocked. Excited too, but shocked was definitely the primary emotion as we instantly realized that we would need a new vehicle in order to transport this many people at one time. Three cribs. Three car seats. Lots more diapers and bottles. What had we done?!?!?!
And here we are. Our little miracle munchkins are 6 months old. We managed to get to 34 weeks before they arrived and with no serious complications (except "stupid gestational diabetes"). The 3 weeks in the NICU seemed like an eternity, but in actuality, it wasn't too bad compared to what others had experienced. The babies were small, but still bigger than we had anticipated (certainly bigger than I thought I could hold in there). And today, they are growing like weeds.
We had two more vaccines last week and the unofficial weights were:
Kendall 14.6 lbs
Emma 13.2 lbs
Clark 14.4 lbs
Not bad at all. They are still gaining about 1.5 lbs each month and that is good. They are eating well, though we are still just doing formula. We are venturing back into "rice cereal land" this weekend. Hopefully it will go well and they will just love eating off of a spoon (the real purpose to feeding them food at this point is to get used to texture, taste, eating from a spoon, etc...not really for any nutritional benefit just yet). They have new booster/high chairs to adapt to as well. It won't be as cuddly as being fed by all of the sweet people who come and help feed them, but it's all a part of growing up. Once we can master rice cereal for a few days, we will move on to the real stuff and I will try my hand at making baby food.
Kendall is talking a little more each day. She has come up with a few noises that are really funny (and one not-so-funny whiny noise). She is so strong and really loves to roll around and look at things. We are trying to figure out a new seat for her as it looks like she's decided to try to escape from the bouncy seat. She remains a power-napper with very short naps throughout the day, rather than a nice long one. But she is sleeping well at night now that we have started swaddling her again.
Emma is rolly-polly (spelling?). She makes it very difficult to change her outfits or diapers because she wants to roll all over the changing table. She is MUCH better at hanging out on her own in an exersaucer (preferred location in front of the door so she can look outside) or a bouncy seat. She is a CRAZY kicker. It is a riot. She gets so worked up during a Baby Einstein video and almost kicks right out of her seat. She squeals and chatters quite a bit and loves to give you a big smile.
Clark finally found his feet this week also. He is a talker now and just loves to bounce in his jumpy seat. We are able to get him giggling quite easily and he always shares his big huge smile with everyone. He seems to be getting longer these days, as he keeps outgrowing his footie pajamas. He is still a big kicker also and loves to laugh at the babies in the Einstein videos.
We are so thankful to all of you who have helped us reach this important milestone in their lives. We are halfway through one of the toughest, but most amazing, years of our lives. We know that there are many more fun things and big changes, as well as challenging times to come in the next six months, but we look forward to celebrating their first birthday in January . We thank you for continuing to be so supportive through your love and prayers and help.

Kim Kardashian has managed to stir up two controversies in less than 48 hours.
First, people were up in arms about her choice to use a surrogate for her third child with rapper husband, Kanye West.
And now, well...
We'll let you see for yourself.
If you're looking for Kim K's most scandalous development on Twitter, it's been pulled. (Don't worry, we got it anyway.)
via: Twitter
So what would be so upsetting for the scandal-obsessed media darling that she would actually SHY AWAY from controversy?
(Well, on Twitter at least…)
We'll give you a hint (not that you'd need it)...
It's a photo shoot…
(Stop us if you've heard this one…)
That ran a little risque.
Some people have given her their support, whereas others…don't.
Here's the pro-Kim side tweeting their support. Support of what, exactly, remains to be seen. It's a naked photo, but I guess that Kim supporters are a vocal lot.
Then there's the negative.
(Sure, that tweet reveals it's a naked photo shoot, but you knew that anyway.)
What makes the controversy a little tricky is that it came mere hours before she announced she's expecting her third kid via a surrogate.
I guess she was showing off her pregnancy-free body?
You be the judge when you see the pic on the next page.

When I worked in China Valley in the early 90s, there was Pollia in the collection. I worried about it because it spreads well by rhizomes and seeds prolifically. Well, almost 20 years later we do pull the occasional seedling but it doesn't seem to be the invasive problem that I had thought it might be. And it's beautiful.
A member of the commelinaceae, it grow to about .5m with glossy green more or less oblanceolate leaves; it looks a bit like a little ginger. The flowers aren't spectacular in late summer to fall, but the berries are, and the colony itself can be a very useful landscape element. I notice Annie's Annuals is listing it this year. For such an easy plant to propagate it's fairly uncommon in the trade.

KALABO Central member of parliament Chinga Miyutu says UPND is after his life.
Commenting on the party's decision to summon him and his Sinjembela counterpart Poniso Njeulu to appear before its disciplinary committee to answer allegations that he was causing divisions in the party and disrespectful to village headmen, Miyutu, who is sports deputy minister, said he was ready to expose UPND's schemes.
"That letter implies that those (UPND) people can kill me and I will tell them. Those people are targeting to kill me. All those allegations are lies; nothing like that happened. Those people can kill me; that's what I will tell them when I appear before them. I will go with people from Kalabo so that they confess the truth," Miyutu said in an interview.
Miyutu said from the time UPND began suspending its members serving in government, people had questioned their motive and style of management.
"I don't know what they are up to but it's clear they are aiming at my life. That's why they have come up with all these lies…because of their hatred, they have suspended all party officials who have not seen anything wrong in my appointment," Miyutu said.
Miyutu said there were people discrediting him because they thought he was too poor to become a member of parliament.
"If I knew politics was like this, I wouldn't have wasted my time to go into it. Now things are surfacing, lies and hatred. It's just that I am a poor man but I will find a lawyer and this case will be in court. I am in Kitwe now but after the COSAFA tournament, I will ask for permission from His Excellency the President to attend to their allegations," Miyutu said.
The UPND has summoned its members of parliament serving in government for disciplinary hearings.
According to a letter dated July 3, 2013 copied to party secretary general Winston Chibwe, UPND Western Province secretary Sishwashwa Mbinji said he had summoned Miyutu and Njeulu to appear before the disciplinary committee within 14 days to exculpate themselves against allegations levelled against them.
Mbinji said the provincial team that toured Kalabo district discovered that Miyutu used abusive language to both party members and the public.
"That you often referred to party officials that their reasoning is no different to that of your petty dog. In another evidence, you described the behaviour of some village headmen at Yuka as being like that of mating dogs," read the letter.
"That at one of your public meetings at Ndoka, you instructed two ward councillors who appeared at the meeting dressed in the UPND attire that they should remove their dress or leave the meeting and that they should never again appear dressed in party attire at any of your meetings in future…"
