Chuck Hagel, who earned a pair of Purple Hearts as a grunt in Vietnam, all but earned a third on Thursday during his confirmation hearing before the Senate Armed Services Committee.
He came away from seven hours of testimony politically bloodied, but seemingly not mortally wounded — yet. Nonetheless, the presumed defense secretary did himself no favors Thursday.
While many in the national-security community have endorsed Hagel's nomination, some GOP lawmakers have argued that he is too soft on Iran, anti-Israel, and too eager to cut the U.S. nuclear arsenal. Hagel denied the charges, but he did stumble, and many of his answers seemed tentative. He said, most notably, that the Obama Administration endorses "containment" of Iran's nuclear ambitions, when it actually embraces "prevention."
The consensus among congressional aides late Thursday was that Hagel will likely win committee support, largely along party lines, and also ultimately confirmation from the full Senate. But their mood was less certain late Thursday than it was on Wednesday.
(MORE: Can Chuck Hagel Overcome?)
The most dispiriting element of the day was the focus on Hagel's past policy views. Whatever they may have been, a defense secretary doesn't make policy – he carries out the President's orders. And the emphasis on the past wasted time that could better have been spent on the not-inconsiderable challenges the Pentagon faces in the future. It seemed that Hagel was chaff for committee Republicans, whose real target was the commander-in-chief.
Part of the hearing seemed to take place in an alternate universe, where Democrats spoke in favor of the nomination of the former Republican senator from Nebraska, while his GOP comrades voiced their opposition. Senator Jim Inhofe of Oklahoma, the new ranking Republican on the committee, said he would oppose Hagel because "he would be a staunch advocate for the continuation of the misguided policies of the President's first term" – as if Obama's re-election, and the national mood it reflected, counted for squat.
For those too young to have witnessed the real thing, the Vietnam War replayed during the hearing, pitting sitting Senator John McCain, R-Ariz., against Hagel, who had served as a co-chairman of McCain's failed 2000 presidential bid.
But this time, instead of the soldier fragging the officer, as often happened in Vietnam, the officer fragged the soldier. It was the ultimate in friendly fire: a hotshot Navy pilot trying to doom the nomination of an Army grunt who served at just about the same time in Vietnam.
(PHOTOS: Legacy in Leaves: The Vietnam War Remembered)
Hagel famously said in 2006 that the then-impending "surge" of 30,000 additional U.S. troops into Iraq "represents the most dangerous foreign policy blunder in this country since Vietnam." The reinforcements, of course, ended up calming Iraq, and – with help from the Sunni "Sons of Iraq" movement – pushed Iraq away from the brink of civil war.
McCain has never forgiven his former friend's words. Thursday morning, he finally had Hagel in his crosshairs. He pulled the trigger relentlessly:
McCain: Do you stand by that — those comments, Senator Hagel?
Hagel: Well, Senator, I stand by them because I made them. And —
McCain: You stand by — were you right?
Hagel: Well –
McCain: Were you correct in your assessment?
Hagel: Well, I would defer to the judgment of history to sort that out, but I'll —
McCain: I think — we — committee deserves your judgment as to whether you were right or wrong about the surge.
Hagel: I'll explain why I made those comments, and I believe I had, but —
McCain: I want to know if you were right or wrong. That's a direct question. I expect a direct answer.
Hagel: The surge assisted in the objective. But if we review the record a little bit —
McCain: Will you please answer the question? Were you correct or incorrect when you said that the surge would be the most dangerous foreign policy blunder in this country since Vietnam? Were you correct or incorrect?
Hagel: My —
McCain: Yes or no?
Hagel: My reference to the surge being both dangerous —
McCain: Are you going to answer the question, Senator Hagel? The question is, were you right or wrong? That's a pretty straightforward question.
Hagel: Well —
McCain: I will — I would like to answer whether you were right or wrong, and then you are free to elaborate.
Hagel: Well, I'm not going to give you a yes or no answer on a lot of things today.
It wasn't clear whether Hagel upset McCain because Hagel had labeled the surge a disaster, Vietnam a disaster – or both. But it didn't make much difference.
More important was the Hagel team's apparent inability to prepare for McCain's all-but-inevitable question, and to outfit their man with something better than verbal hillbilly armor to respond to it.
(MORE: John McCain To Chuck Hagel: I Told You So)
It was these kinds of issues – the plain-spoken Hagel having his words repeatedly read back to him by Republican senators, eager to cast every passage in the most dire light – that took its toll over the long day of questioning. Many of Hagel's answers were halting, and wrapped in the hindsight of someone acknowledging he wished he had said things differently.
He spoke, truth be told, not like an officer (or a senator), but like a soldier. Yes, he once said that there was no reason for Israel to "keep Palestinians caged up like animals," he conceded to Republican Senator Mike Lee of Utah, after the lawmaker recited a Hagel quote. "If I had an opportunity to edit that, like many things I've said," Hagel added, "I would like to go back and change the words."
It's part of the grunt's lingo: you say what you feel. Only officers and senators speak for the record. Hagel, if he makes it, would be the first Vietnam veteran ever to run the Pentagon. He'd also be one of the few enlisted men to hold the post; James Forrestal (1947-49) and William Perry (1994-97) both served short stints as non-officers in the U.S. military before going on to run the Defense Department.
It was a strange hearing, given the firepower backing Hagel. He had been introduced by two former giants of the Senate – and the armed services committee — Democrat Sam Nunn of Georgia, and Republican John Warner of Virginia. His nomination has been endorsed by a who's-who of national-security heavyweights, including Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, former defense secretary Robert Gates, and GOP stalwarts including Colin Powell and Brent Scowcroft.
But the ack-ack of GOP opposition seemed to rattle the White House, as well as the nominee. Some of the Republican fire had hit its target.

Madalyn Murray O'Hair
Posted by Yorkshire on 2012/12/15
She's the Bitch that took God out of School and nothing has been the same since. And this was over her son having to pray at Poly HS in Baltimore. Remember it well. She moved to Texas, went missing, found dead much later. And I think her son became a minister. Now today we had another PREYING at school, but it was of children. I wonder if each school shooting, the heat is turned up higher at her current residence.
Saw Obama comment on this. And honestly, I didn't think he was going to get through his comments without breaking down. He did wipe away a tear or two. It was tough for him to handle. I will praise him for his words.
It happened in 1963 along with all the other things that altered the course of America and more or less derailed the core fabric of the country. To me, it was the start of the long slow descent we're in now. What was commonplace in 1962 has been peeled back slowly to the point of what was normal life then, is now looked at as you could do that then. This woman was a starting point of all normal nuclear families complain of today. That is if normal nuclear families still exist anymore.
From Wikipedia: Madalyn Murray O'Hair (April 13, 1919 – September 29, 1995) was an American atheist activist. She was the founder of the organization American Atheists and served as its president from 1963 to 1986. One of her sons, Jon Garth Murray, was the president of the organization from 1986 to 1995, while she remained de facto president during these nine years. She is best known for the Murray v. Curlett lawsuit, which led to a landmark Supreme Court ruling ending official Bible-reading in American public schools in 1963. This came one year after the Supreme Court prohibited officially sponsored prayer in schools in Engel v. Vitale. O'Hair later founded American Atheists and became so controversial that in 1964 Life magazine referred to her as "the most hated woman in America".[1][2]
In 1995 she was kidnapped, murdered, and her body mutilated, along with her son Jon Murray and granddaughter Robin Murray O'Hair, by former American Atheist office manager David Roland Waters.

Whether you're getting tired of London's devotion to print or not, you have to admit - the loyalty is admirable. After all, we kick-started this print-mania that's taken over fashion land and damn it if we go teetotal now! One other factor that helps elevate designers like Peter Pilotto above others: they're simply so much better at it than the rest. While other cities try to catch-up, London - and Peter Pilotto - use print dreamily and abundantly.
"The look of the season is comprised of a multidimensional collage of disparate visual elements" say the Pilotto show notes. #LFW

The Japanese invasion got to Paris on Tuesday evening as Anthony Vaccarello showed his take on the season's sharp asymmetrical layering. It was something that suited his aesthetic well – you might even say it's what he's been doing all along – but despite the somewhat minimalist austerity that defines the look in question, Vaccarello managed to bring it to its raciest level so far.

Eden selected dried green lentils, North Dakota family organically grown in mineral rich, vital soil. A small round legume that is staple food around the world. Common in Middle Eastern and Indian dishes as dal. Ideal for soups, stew, paté, curry, salad, and with any whole grain. Versatile, quick cooking, delicious, and very nourishing. An excellent source of fiber, iron, and manganese, and a good source of protein, thiamin B1, folate B9, magnesium, and zinc. pareve
Eden Green Lentils are selected at the farm through our dedicated network of USA organic family farmers. The growers' constant care and vital organic soil produce the world's most appealing and nutritious food.
Eden offers a large selection of food in bulk sizes for food service professionals and families. Eden Green Lentils in a 25 pound bag is an excellent value for health conscious chefs who appreciate quality, nutrition, safety and superb flavor.
Lentils Lens culinaris are a legume, not a bean. They are small 'lens' or disc shaped. Native to the Middle East lentils have been an important staple food for over 8,000 years and are mentioned in the Book of Genesis where Esau sells his birthright to Jacob for a thick bowl of lentil soup. Lentils come in many colors, ours are the finest quality bright green when dry.
Lentils are an excellent source of dietary fiber providing 44 percent daily value per serving. They are also rich in thiamin (B1), and folate (B9), providing 48 percent daily value per serving. Lentils have an excellent amino acid profile that is comparable to that of soybeans. They are also a source of complex carbohydrate, and essential fatty acids (EFAs) when cooked, according to the USDA Nutrient Database.
An excellent source of iron and manganese, and a good source of protein, thiamin B1, folate B9, magnesium, and zinc. According to the FDA, "Low fat diets rich in fruits and vegetables (foods that are low in fat and may contain dietary fiber, Vitamin A, or Vitamin C) may reduce the risk of some types of cancer, a disease associated with many factors," and "Diets low in sodium may reduce the risk of hypertension or high blood pressure, a disease with many factors." Eden Green Lentils are fat and cholesterol free, rich in dietary fiber, and naturally sodium free.
Studies show beans contain a wealth of antioxidants similar to those in fruits and berries. "Beans are really loaded with antioxidant compounds," said Clifford Beninger, Ph.D., an environmental biologist and former researcher for the USDA's Bean Research Unit. "We didn't know how potent they were until now. In general darker colored seed coats were associated with higher levels of flavonoids, and therefore higher antioxidant activity." Researchers tested the antioxidant activity of flavonoids found in 12 common varieties of dry beans. They found one class of compounds in particular, anthocyanins, were the most active antioxidants in beans. These findings add antioxidant activity to a growing list of healthy compounds found in beans and legumes. The study was published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry.
Lentils are excellent as a soup, spread or side dish. They will stay fresh for several years if stored properly in a dark, cool, dry area, however we recommend using them within two years of purchase. To prepare lentils rinse thoroughly and strain, then add fresh water to cover them by 2 inches. Bring to a boil, add your favorite vegetables and spices, reduce heat, cover and simmer for about one hour. Season with Eden Sea Salt or shoyu soy sauce when almost done. Lentils are not generally recommended for pressure cooking (due to their small size they tend to clog the vent). Great cooked with brown rice, in salads, grain burgers and for lentil paté.

The 2018 Mazda3 Release Date
2018 Mazda3 Exterior : The 2018 Mazda3 Release Date
Read our most comprehensive review of the 2018 Mazda3 standard features, trim levels, and available options. The 2018 Mazda3 makes its strongest case in performance for luxury compact buyers' attentions.
These days they leaves no stone unturned, yet the 2018 Mazda3 is still its rock. The automaker seemingly makes a model for every imaginable mood, and the 2018 Mazda3 starting to feel tired to us. A handful of package shuffles and new paint colors await shoppers for 2018, but largely this car hasn't changed for a couple years. A new version of the 2018 Mazda3 isn't far off, which means that this version is fully baked.
The 2018 Mazda3 has a classic exterior shape, but its interior is starting to feel aged. The exterior of the 2018 Mazda3 and a standard tuxedo will look good in 10 years. The sedan's lines are still attractive, helped by its classic profile and rear-wheel-drive tendencies. Its shapely hood and kidney-shaped grille are they hallmarks, and help future-proof it against a new generation of the 2018 Mazda3 that's surely coming soon.
There are multiple body styles to consider with the 2018 Mazda3, including a wagon and tall-riding sedan. We think most buyers will opt for the four-door sedan, which manages to be expressive without being flashy.
The window line gradually walks up to the trunk, which helps lower the nose and give the 2018 Mazda3 an aggressive attitude.
Here is required clue on 2018 mazda3 gt. We have the excellent substance for 2018 mazda3 gt. Check it out for yourself! You can discover The 2018 Mazda3 Release Date guide and see the latest 2018 Mazda3 Exterior in here.

The purpose of screening is early diagnosis and treatment. Screening tests are administered to people without current symptoms, but who may be at high risk for certain diseases or conditions
Screening Guidelines
There are no specific guidelines available that recommend for or against regular skin screening. However, most organizations recommend monthly self skin exams. Look for any new moles, changes to current moles, or other unexplained changes in skin.
Skin self-exam—A visual check of your skin from head to toe. Tips for performing a skin self-exam include:
- Use a full-length mirror or hand-held mirror to check hard to spot places, such as between the buttocks or in the genital area.
- Do the exam in a well-lit room.
- Turn from front to back and left to right.
- Note the size, shape, color, and texture of all skin blemishes and moles.
- Check your fingernails, palms, and forearms.
- Check your feet, toenails, soles, and between the toes.
- Examine your scalp, separating the hair with a comb or a blow dryer.
If you notice any changes in your skin, contact your doctor right away.
Skin exam by your doctor—If you have any increased risk for developing melanoma, an annual skin examination by a dermatologist may be appropriate. Your eye doctor should also check the back of your eyes for possible melanomas as part of your routine examination.

Best Customer Service & Prices in the Industry
I've bought about 10 shirts from G2G Sport, and they're absolutely heads and shoulders above all other soccer jersey companies in the industry. If you're a collector, Mike has shirts from as long as a decade ago, and if you're looking for the latest jerseys, you'll get them at a discount - they're cheaper than the ones on Soccer.com and World Socc
er Shop (his website says some facilitated buying and shipping process allows him to get you this discount). Not only do you get a discount, you get free FedEx two-day shipping, whereas in the past I've waited for World Soccer Ship and Soccer.com for as little as two weeks and as long as two months. The people that work at G2G are an absolute gem, and you can call them without having any wait time and they'll see to it that you get the best jerseys for the best deals. I don't plan on buying my jerseys anywhere else except here, and that's not only because of the pricing and the quick and free shipping but also because of the customer service. Mike has been happy to take certain customized orders in the past and you really get a good sense that you're contributing in a relationship with someone who is just as passionate about soccer, rather than a huge corporation. If you need anything, they can do it. Trust me, I'm on my tenth shirt.

When Alabama was ravaged by tornadoes in April 2011, utility crews flocked to the area to help restore power. Such occurrences are not uncommon after natural disasters.
When Alabama was ravaged by tornadoes in April 2011, utility crews flocked to the area to help restore power. Such occurrences are not uncommon after natural disasters.
There was considerable grousing then about the slow nature of repairs in some areas, but you won't find many, if any, complaints in the small town of Fair Haven, N.J., where Alabama Power Co. crews spent several days. It seems they took their Southern hospitality north with them.
Workers from Alabama not only worked on power lines, but they also fixed things that New Jersey utility workers wouldn't, saving homeowners the expense and added time of getting an electrician out to do work before utilities could be reconnected. We're sure they didn't do anything remotely unsafe, but knowing how their state's residents felt after 2011 storms, the Alabama workers weren't going to let a little red tape get in their way.
Fair Haven officials and townspeople were more than happy with the performance of the Alabama workers, according to AL.com, which quoted Mayor Benjamin R. Lucarelli as saying, "In Alabama, they raise 'em right." We've known that for a long time, and we're glad it's not a secret.
When it comes to people making a good impression, Mary Margaret McCord has set the bar pretty high.
The Gadsden native was crowned Miss Alabama USA 2013 on Saturday night in Montgomery, besting 32 other competitors. McCord's victory is a testament to perseverance, as she has competed in the pageant twice before, coming close to winning each time. She was third runner-up her first try and then first runner-up last year.
McCord will spend the next few months making appearances around the state and will represent the state in the national Miss USA pageant in the summer. She's focused on preparing for the national event but also on being a good role model. No matter how she does in the national pageant, she's a winner in our book.

Thousands of people undergo organ transplant surgery each year and get a second chance to lead healthy lives. While there are risks involved in any surgery, those who undergo an organ transplant also face the possibility that their immune system will reject their new organ and that they will always be at a higher risk for infections. Fortunately, medical research has come a long way and now offers those in need of a new organ an even greater chance of successful recovery.
How the Immune System Works
The immune system is a complex biological system in the human body. It is made up of cells, tissues, and organs that work constantly to deal with infectious and other foreign materials, such as allergens or tumors, that may be harmful to the body. These materials carry antigens. The immune system is able to recognize the difference between cells that belong and those that do not by learning to identify protein markers (antigens) that are found on cell and infection surfaces. In people, the antigens or markers that identify your immune system are referred to as the human leukocyte antigen (HLA). Antigens that are recognized as unfriendly invaders stimulate an immune response to destroy them.
The immune system is made up of several types of white blood cells, also called leukocytes, which each have their own function. White blood cells are made up of:
The Immune System and Organ Transplant
Some people may have diseases that lead to organ failure, or they may have suffered an injury that would require an organ transplant. Major organs that may be transplanted include:
While many organ transplants are successful, there is still a chance that the recipient's immune system will reject the transplanted organ. Before a patient can have an organ transplant, they will take a blood test that will allow doctors to perform tissue typing. This lets doctors check the compatibility between donor and recipient tissues by comparing HLA markers.
Because everyone's HLA markers are different, with the exception of identical twins, matches are made as close as possible. Without a close match, the organ will be rejected, and T cells will begin their attack. There are 3 types of organ rejection:
- Hyperacute rejection—Rare, but can occur within minutes of a transplant.
- Acute rejection—Can occur a few weeks after a transplant, but the greatest risk is within the first 6 months after the transplant.
- Chronic rejection—Can occur months after a transplant. The cause is unknown, but it may be linked to non-adherence to antirejection medications
What to Expect After an Organ Transplant
Regardless of how well-matched a donor and recipient are, the recipient's body will still try to reject the new organ since it is made completely of foreign cells. Fortunately, there are ways for patients and doctors to work together to prevent rejection or infection. While treatments and health care will vary depending on the organ transplanted and the patient, most recovery programs will involve similar care.
Healthcare After Organ Transplant Surgery
After an organ transplant, patients will continue to work with their healthcare team, who will monitor their recovery. They will also work together to develop medication dosages and lifestyle plans that will keep patients healthy for the rest of their lives.
To prevent rejection, immunosuppressant drugs will be given to decrease the body's normal immune response. These drugs will need to be taken for the rest of the patient's life. Since these drugs reduce the immune system's ability to fight infections, a combination of antiviral, antifungal, and antibiotic medications may also be prescribed.
Medications may have a number of side effects, such as headache, nausea, and weight gain. They may also cause problems such as high blood pressure or high cholesterol.
There is also an increased risk of cancer as a result of suppressing the immune system. However, the risk of cancer may vary depending on different factors, such as which medications are chosen, age, or whether there is a family history of cancer.
After an organ transplant, patients will also continue to undergo many tests to ensure that there is no infection and that the organ is not being rejected. Tests vary depending on the specific organ, but can include blood tests, imaging tests like X-rays, or biopsies.
While each patient's circumstances and recovery time will be different, discussing a diet and exercise program with your healthcare team is a wise decision. Patients should learn about creating a balanced diet for themselves, which may also help with other side effects of transplant surgery and medications, such as high cholesterol.
Exercise, which may be minimal to start, is also recommended to help the body return to a healthy state and may also help with weight gain caused by taking immunosuppressant drugs.
Additional Health Concerns
Some women worry about becoming pregnant after an organ transplant. While there are risks involved, particularly during the first year after surgery when the risk of rejection is highest, many women have successfully had children after a transplant. Any plans to get pregnant should be discussed with your healthcare team.
Substance Use
Those who plan to receive organ transplants are required to stop smoking or using other drugs and alcohol in order to stay on the waiting list for an organ transplant. After surgery, some may find it hard to avoid old habits. Therefore, it is important for these individuals to find a support system, whether it's family or a support group, to ensure that they stay healthy.
With proper care, the body will have a better chance of accepting the new organ, as well as avoiding possible infections after the transplant.

Karen Klein is a YouTube star, and not in a good way.
But she's going to cry all the way to the bank thanks to crowdfunding site Indiegogo.
A campaign to send her on vacation has raised almost a quarter of a million dollars in less than 24 hours. And its still going strong. The goal was $5,000.
Klein is a 68-year-old that became a national phenom earlier this week when a YouTube video of her being bullied went viral. She works as a bus monitor for Athena Middle School in Greece, New York. Four kids on the bus taunted her so badly they made her cry.
The video made national news and "Max S" saw it. He's used Indiegogo to raise funds for other heart wrenching situations. In less than 24 hours more than 14,000 people have participated in this campaign, donating more than $305,000 so far.
Now that's a silver lining.

Watch These Pinata Parties Gone Wrong — Daily Distraction
[onescreen item="4993956"]
Ah, the piñata. A marvelous party item, until everything goes wrong.
Some people might wonder how this tradition has lasted so long. In this day and age, do we still insist that a party is only complete when someone takes a bat or club or some other sort of smashing device and whacks a decorative hanging item stuffed with candy so hard that it explodes with candy? Clearly, anyone who questions that tradition has it all wrong, as these clips demonstrably prove.

text: Breadcrumb Home Scott Suttell Blog Editor's Choice February 07, 2013 01:30 AM A look at how Shaker Heights High students took on the SAT Scott Suttell Managing Editor Tweet Share Share Email More Print Some quick hits for the day: A charming New York Times slideshow features interviews with students at Shaker Heights High School conducted on Jan. 25 — a big day, because it was the day before they took the SAT. The kids, as you might expect, display a mix of confidence, nerves and befuddlement. Here of some of the responses I enjoyed this most: Elana Ross, 15 "I get really nervous before tests. Like my stomach drops and I get all tense. One test in particular I took in math, where I got really nervous and was looking at the test and I was like, 'I don't remember how to do any of this!'" Linda Fan, 17 ''I have a superstition where I can't wear any jewelry on a test day. I always wear my rattiest T-shirts and sweat pants. When I was in fifth grade, I was in a science competition, and I was wearing a couple bracelets and a necklace, and I got last place. So I just stopped wearing anything fancy for tests.'' Aryanna Jones, 15 ''For the most part I'm excited, I feel ready. I'm taking an 11th-grade math class in the 10th grade. My strong points are factoring binomials, stuff like that. Probably my weakest area is rotating conics, because it's a lot of different steps, and if I mess up one part, then I'll have the whole question wrong.'' Sasha Rae-Grant, 16 ''On the PSAT I felt pretty good, but I didn't get quite the score I wanted. I kept spacing out. That's a problem for me with standardized tests. I try to get myself as relaxed as possible before a test. I'm a Brony — a teenage fan of 'My Little Pony.' I sometimes watch the episodes before a test because the friendliness is relaxing.'' Ben Robertson, 15 ''I'm usually better at taking tests than I am at doing homework, because taking tests is sort of knowledge-based, and I guess doing homework is, like, diligent. You have to remember every single day, and sometimes I forget. It's very hard to forget to take a test because you go to take the test.'' Cleveland lands at No. 14 on Central Connecticut State University's annual list of America's 50 most-literate cities. The study, conducted by university president John Miller, is based on data that includes the number of bookstores, library resources, newspaper circulation, Internet resources and educational levels. USA Today notes that for the digital age, the survey expands the definition of reading by counting online book orders, e-book readers and page views on local newspaper websites. Cleveland's standout quality is library resources, which includes holdings, circulation and staff. It ranks first in that category. "Cleveland may be a Rust Belt city, but it continues to invest in its libraries," Mr. Miller tells USA Today. Among other Ohio cities, Cincinnati is No. 12, Columbus is No. 32 and Toledo is No. 44. The No. 1 city is Washington, D.C. Forbes for the last 30 years or so has asked top investment pros to name one stock they think is most likely to outpace the market for the next 12 months. In this year's installment of the feature, one of the stock pickers — David Fingold, portfolio manager at Dynamic Funds, selects Parker Hannifin Corp., a producer of fluid power products, as his 2013 standout due to its strong record of growth, profitability and cash generation. "He feels it will benefit from an improving industrial economy including aerospace, hydraulics, filtration, pneumatics and process control," Forbes says. "(Parker) is a dividend play, increasing its annual dividend paid to shareholders for 56 consecutive years." The Great Lakes are a little parched. The Associated Press notes that Lake Huron and Lake Michigan "have hit their lowest water levels ever recorded," and lakes Erie, Ontario and Superior are "well below average," according to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. This is the result of "more than a decade of below-normal rain and snowfall and higher temperatures that boost evaporation," according to the AP. The low water "has caused heavy economic losses by forcing cargo ships to carry lighter loads, leaving boat docks high and dry, and damaging fish-spawning areas," the AP notes. It says the Army Corps' report comes as shippers plead with Congress for more money to dredge ever-shallower harbors and channels. Shippers, the AP says, "are taxed to support a harbor maintenance fund, but only about half of the revenue is spent on dredging." (The rest is diverted to the Treasury for other purposes. Legislation to change that policy is pending before Congress.) "Plunging water levels are beyond anyone's control, but the dredging crisis is man-made," James Weakley, president of the Cleveland-based Lake Carriers' Association, tells the AP.

In my previous blog posting, http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/blogs/page/ambler?entry=strategies_for_distributed_agile_teams , I overviewed several strategies for improving your effectiveness at geographically distributed development (GDD). Those strategies were fairly generic and directly applicable to both traditional and agile development teams. In this posting I focus on strategies which are more agile in nature, although they could also be applied to more traditional approaches as well. These strategies are:
1. Get the whole team together at the beginning of the project. Your goals are to build rapport amongst the team, to get to know the people that you're working with to facilitate communication later on, and to better understand the situation on the ground. The implication is that you will need to fly some people around, increasing your initial expenses, an investment that many organizations balk at. The reality is that you will eventually end up paying for travel anyway, either because you actually flew people around or because your communication costs are higher throughout the project. In short, don't be penny wise and pound foolish.
2. Organize your team around the system architecture. The most effective way to organize a distributed team is around the architecture of the system that you are building, not around the job functions of the people involved. In other words, if your team is in Toronto, Rome, and Bangalore then each subteam should be responsible for one or more subsystems. It would be a mistake to organize the teams around job function, for example to have the architects and analysts in Toronto, the developers in Rome, and the testers in Bangalore because this structure would require significantly more documentation and other forms of communication to coordinate the teams, increasing both cost and risk. As I mentioned in my previous blog posting you will need to invest in some initial architecture envisioning at the beginning of a project to identify the subsystems and their public interfaces, and that to do that you'll also need to do some initial requirements envisioning to drive this architecture effort. I suggest that you take an Agile Model Driven Development (AMDD) approach to this to enable you to gain the value from modeling without the costs and risks associated with up-front comprehensive modeling and documentation that get many traditional project teams in trouble.
3. Have "daily stand-up meetings". A common practice on co-located agile teams is to have daily stand-up meetings where people share the status of what they did yesterday, what they intend to do today, and whether they're running into any problems. These short meetings enable team coordination. Distributed teams can do this as well, the people in a given geographical location can hold local stand-up meetings and then representatives from each location can hold a shared meeting to coordinate the subteams. Whereas local stand-up meetings are held first thing in the morning, distributed daily stand-up meetings may need to be held at unusual times so as to include people at distant locations.
4. Have Ambassadors. Ambassadors are people who travel between sites, often technically senior people or senior business experts, to share information between the subteams. Getting the team together at the beginning of the project sets the foundation for communication, but without continual investment in maintaining effective collaboration between teams you run the risk of your subteams deviating from the overall strategy. These are typically short engagements, a week or two in length, because of the pressures it puts on the people doing the actual traveling. The implication is that you'll have several people flying between sites at any given time on a reasonable rotation schedule. Because you'll have some people flying around, your local team rooms should accommodate visitors by having one or more desks available for them to use when they're visiting.
5. Have Boundary Spanners. A boundary spanner is someone who is located on site who focuses on enabling communication between subteams as well as within their subteam. On large distributed teams you'll find that you have three flavors of boundary spanners – team leaders who take on project management responsibilities on the subteam, product owners who are responsible for representing the business within the subteam, and architecture owners responsible for technical direction on the team. These boundary spanners will work closely with their peers, having regular coordination meetings across all subteams as well as impromptu one-on-one meetings to deal with specific issues between individual subteams.
6. Ensure that the global team gets the credit it deserves. In both offshoring and nearshoring environments it's common to see small teams in North America or Europe driving the efforts of significantly larger teams in another country. Yet, at the end of the project it always seems as if the smaller team, often because they work for the direct customer, gets the lion's share of the credit – unless of course the project failed, then the subcontracting team often seems to get virtually all of the "credit". This clearly isn't fair, and it clearly doesn't promote effective teamwork between the subteams in the future.
7. Take a lean approach to development governance. As I've written in the past, effective governance is based on enablement and collaboration instead of the traditional approaches of management and control. Good governance measures progress through regular delivery of working software, not through status reports or delivery of detailed specifications. Good governance is based on the idea of having a living process which changes to reflect lessons learned as your project progresses. In a previous blog posting at http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/blogs/page/ambler?entry=lean_development_governance I've discussed lean development governance in greater detail.
The strategies that I've described are clearly nothing more than common sense, something that can be said of all agile strategies. Sadly, as Mark Twain lamented, common sense isn't very common in practice.[Read More]

Strategies for Distributed Agile Teams Part 1

A common misunderstanding about agile software development is that it's only for co-located teams. Things are definitely easier for co-located teams, and as I found with both the Dr. Dobb's 2007 and 2008 Agile Adoption surveys (www.ambysoft.com/surveys/) co-located agile teams appear to have a higher success rate than distributed teams, Having said that, many organizations are in fact succeeding at distributed agile development.Modified on by ScottAmbler
I'd like to share some strategies that I'm seeing work in practice, and in this blog posting summarizes generic strategies for distributed teams whether or not they're agile. These strategies are:1. Do some up front planning. Distributed development is higher risk than co-located development, and one way to address that risk is to think things through. That doesn't mean that you need to create a monolithic, 1000+ task Gantt chart, but it does mean that you should identify your major dependencies and milestone dates. Effective teams do this planning with the distributed developers actively involved (they are part of the team after all), they strive to consider all associated costs, and in particular they don't overlook the low probability/high impact risks which often prove to be project killers.
2. Organize the team effectively. Once of the practices of Lean Development Governance (https://www14.software.ibm.com/webapp/iwm/web/preLogin.do?lang=en_US&source=swg-ldg) is to organize your team structure around either your architecture or the lines of business (LOB) supported by the programme that you're working on. Ideally each sub-team should be responsible for one or more subsystems or modules, something that can be difficult if some of your team works alone from home, to reduce the amount of information sharing and collaboration required between disparate teams. In other words, maximize the responsibilities of the "offshore" team(s) as much as possible. A very common mistake is to organize the subteams around job specialties – for example the architects are in Toronto, the developers in Mumbai, and the testers in Singapore – because to support this team structure you have to create a phenomenal amount of documentation to support communication between the teams.
3. Do some up front modeling. The implication of organizing your team around the architecture (or LOB) is that you also need to do a bit of architecture envisioning up front. Your architecture efforts should provide guidance regarding the shared infrastructure as well as critical development conventions such as coding guidelines and data naming conventions. Architecture envisioning is also a good idea for co-located agile teams too. See http://www.agilemodeling.com/essays/initialArchitectureModeling.htm for strategies to get the benefits of architecture modeling without the costs of needless documentation.
4. Recognize that communication is critical. GDD puts many barriers to communication in place, increasing overall project risk. To overcome these risks you will first need to be aware of them and act accordingly, and second, you'll need to write more documentation than you would likely prefer. The risks associated with long-distance communication include cultural differences, time-zone differences, and the challenges with written documentation (which is the least effective way to communicate information). I make it a habit of asking open-ended questions so that I can determine whether or not the other people understand the topic under conversation. Particularly I will never ask a yes/no style of question because the simple answer of yes can mean a range of things depending on the culture. It may mean "Yes, I heard you", "Yes, I understand what you're saying", or "Yes, I understand and agree with you". When you're dealing with people at other locations it's good practice to ask them to summarize the conversation in writing, in particular to identify key action items and ownership of them, to ensure that everyone agrees with what was discussed. A good approach is to have the team lead on other end to do the summary so that they own it going forward.
5. Put a good technical infrastructure in place. Automate, automate, automate. In a GDD environment you need to work with collaborative multi-site tools such as ClearCase, ClearQuest, and Jazz Rational Team Concert (www.jazz.net) which enable you to share and evolve your work products (i.e. test scripts, code, documents) effectively.
In my next posting I'll describe a collection of agile-specific strategies for distributed software development teams.[Read More]

Two Boulder police officers are the subject of both an internal investigation by the police department and a criminal investigation by Colorado Parks and Wildlife after they shot a large bull elk in Mapleton Hill but apparently did not report it to anyone.
According to Boulder police, one officer shot the animal while on patrol, and another officer who was off-duty took it home for the meat.
Boulder police officials initially denied reports from neighbors that the animal was shot late Tuesday night, but after seeing pictures of the dead elk provided to the Daily Camera by neighbors, they looked into the matter.
Officials said the officer told investigators the elk appeared injured, with a limp and some of its antlers broken off. The elk was killed in a yard at Ninth Street and Mapleton Avenue with a single shot from a shotgun, police said. The incident happened around 11 p.m. Tuesday.
Neighbors told the Camera that officers told them they planned to put down the elk because of reports it had been behaving aggressively and not to be alarmed if they heard a gunshot. One woman said she saw the animal a few hours before it was killed, and it was not limping.
Boulder police chief Mark Beckner said he would refrain from commenting on the officers' actions until the investigation is complete, but he did say that not filing a report of the incident and not calling someone in to pick up the elk would "not be standard protocol at all."
"We're very concerned," he said.
Boulder police officers are supposed to file a report whenever they discharge their weapon, no matter the circumstances. They typically work with Colorado Parks and Wildlife to determine whether an animal needs to be put down, officials said, and would notify dispatchers before they shot an animal. Officers also are supposed to notify Parks and Wildlife when they take down large animals.
Boulder police spokeswoman Kim Kobel said it is not standard practice for officers to take home meat from animals that are put down in the course of duty.
Colorado Parks and Wildlife took possession early Thursday of what remains of the large elk, which frequented the area along Mapleton Avenue between Ninth and 11th streets, spokeswoman Jennifer Churchill said. Churchill said she could not say whether wildlife officers took possession of the head and antlers, but she said they took "everything" that remained and that officials would do as much of a necropsy as possible.
On Wednesday, Churchill said the department was concerned because the elk was a "large game animal and a trophy animal." On Thursday, she said she could not discuss the case further because it is an "active investigation." However, she said it would focus on the "wildlife perspective" and whether any laws around taking of large game were violated.
Samson's Law, passed in 1998 after a well-known bull elk in Estes Park was killed by a poacher who was fined just a few hundred dollars, adds substantial fines for the killing of trophy animals. The killing of a bull elk with six-point antlers or larger can carry a fine of up to $10,000, on top of the other criminal penalties for violating hunting rules.
In addition, hunting is never allowed within city limits.
Beckner also apologized Thursday for Boulder police initially denying any involvement in the shooting.
"To our knowledge at that time we didn't know we were involved, and I want to apologize," he said at an afternoon news conference.
Boulder police have not identified the officers involved in the shooting, but a neighbor Thursday provided the Camera with a photograph of an officer posing with the slain elk. His jacket bears the name "S. Carter," and officer Sam Carter was on duty that night, according to city records.
Kobel said Boulder police would not identify the officers because the case is a personnel matter. Churchill said Parks and Wildlife will not identify the officers until the investigation is complete.
Beckner said the officer who shot the elk was not on duty Thursday, but he has not been placed on leave.
Cmdr. Rick Brough of the Boulder County Sheriff's Office confirmed that at least one on-duty deputy was also at the scene. Brough said once the Sheriff's Office became aware of the incident, supervisors requested the deputy write a report about it.
Brough said it appears the deputy may have helped load the elk into the truck, but the Sheriff's Office will wait to review the deputy's report once it is filed to determine whether a personnel investigation will be necessary.
A uniformed deputy can be seen in the background of one of the photos of the elk provided to the Camera.
Roger Koenig lives at the corner of Ninth and Mapleton and provided several pictures of the aftermath of the elk's death to the Camera. He said he found it curious that after the police officer killed the elk and a sheriff's deputy arrived on the scene, a third man showed up in a pickup truck to remove it, as opposed to a wildlife officer with a better-suited flatbed truck.
Koenig said it took the three men nearly an hour and a half to load the animal — which they estimated to weigh between 700 and 800 pounds — into the pickup truck, and even then part of its rear quarters were hanging over the open end of the bed. He said the men talked about needing a roadkill tag for the animal so it could be driven out of the area.
The elk appears to be the same one that reportedly trapped a mail carrier on a porch in the area last week and was photographed by a Camera photographer later that evening.
Neighbors said the elk continued to frequent the area along Mapleton between Ninth and 11th streets and behaved aggressively toward passersby, some of whom approached the elk to take pictures of it.
Other neighbors said it had been a frequent visitor for several years and had not been aggressive in the past. There was a memorial for the elk Thursday morning, with residents laying pine boughs along the streets it frequented.
JoOnna Silberman, who lives in the 300 block of Spruce Street, said she saw the animal a few hours before it was killed, and it was not limping.
"I can't imagine that in the few short hours between when I saw him and the time this officer said he was injured, that he became that injured," said Silberman, who noted that if a car hit the elk, the car would almost certainly have been damaged. "Why wouldn't you call Division of Wildlife? The whole thing is suspicious."
Kobel said the officers involved were identified by talking with other officers on that shift, and they are cooperating with investigators.
Boulder County District Attorney Stan Garnett said he is monitoring the case and awaiting the results of the investigation by Parks and Wildlife to determine if any criminal violations occurred.
Tom Mikesell, president of the Colorado Outfitters Association, which represents outfitters, many of whom work with and supply hunters, said he couldn't speculate about the specific incident in Boulder, but the circumstances raise a lot of questions.
The state closely regulates the disposal of meat and body parts from animals that are killed outside of the regular hunting season, even in car accidents, in part to avoid a gray market in meat and trophies of questionable origin.
For example, people need permits to take home meat from roadkill, and people cannot harvest antlers as trophies from roadkill.
"The division needs to be looking into whether there were any laws violated," Mikesell said.

We basketball fans know how tough the Pacers have been the past few seasons and especially good this season. Is Larry Bird impressed? Nope. lol Love that old Celtic. He says he sometimes thinks the players on the Pacers roster are NOT 100% committed to their jobs.
P.S. Andrew Bynum looked pretty good out there, huh?
Yeah, I read that he was "disappointed" with his team and he wanted to get head coach Frank Vogel to be more aggressive in speaking to players who aren't performing up to their standards. Bird wanted Vogel to do things like restricting players' minutes, benching them, or doing whatever it took to motivate them back to performing at a higher level. Yikes. Sounds to me like there's trouble brewing in Defense Land.
I bet the loss of Danny Granger really messed up the Pacers' team chemistry. It would seem mentally jarring for the players to have someone of Danny's caliber, who had been the heart and soul of the Pacers franchise for many years, to be so cold bloodedly traded at the deadline like that.
Andrew Bynum did indeed look good in his first game back. I wonder if he'll be able to play this well consistently for the Pacers.
Right. Bird comes from an era in which players played for the love of the game NOT the money (which was A LOT less than today's numbers). The players from that era played to WIN. Winning is an addiction that these young boys don't know of today because they want large contracts and shoe deals before they want a championship ... they don't even think about the hall of fame IMO. It doesn't help that Danny was kind of a leading voice and veteran of some sorts - they are good, but a lot of people forget the Pacers are YOUNG. They still have a lot to learn ... sort of like the Thunder a couple of years ago..
It'll be interesting to see how they respond to the public lashing from the great..

Two candidates are employees of the Elections Division of the secretary of state's office. The other is an employee of the board.
The State Board of Election Commissioners said that it will interview three state employees for its director position with a goal of having someone in the post by Feb. 1.
Two candidates are employees of the Elections Division of the secretary of state's office. The other is an employee of the board.
Board members met in executive session for about two hours Friday to consider more than 60 submitted applications from people in a range of professions including lawyers, prison employees, teachers and retail workers.
Board attorney Tim Humphries said after the meeting that the candidates from the secretary of state's office are Interim Director of Elections Rob Hammons and Assistant Director of Elections Kerry Baldwin. Justin Clay, educational services manager for the board, is the third finalist.
Director Susie Stormes retired Dec. 31 after working at the commission for 17 years. She became director in 2000. Stormes' salary was $83,637.
Deputy Director Karen Skarda is serving as the board's interim director. She did not submit an application to become director.
The board, created in 1969, is responsible for training election officials and monitoring compliance with election laws.
The seven-member board consists of the secretary of state, two members appointed by the governor, one member each appointed by the chairman of the Democratic and Republican parties, one chosen by the president pro tempore of the Senate and one picked by the House speaker.
Sen. Bryan King, R-Berryville, has said he plans to support legislation changing the makeup of the board and its staff.
King has accused board employees of ignoring problems and complaints about the state's elections, most recently for not acting quickly in response to allegations of voter fraud in 2011.
Hammons, of Conway, was named interim director of the Elections Division in November and had been an election coordinator with the office since 2003. He worked as a project coordinator for the State Board of Election Commissioners from 1999 until 2003. He has a bachelor's degree in criminal justice administration and sociology from the University of Mississippi, according to his resume.
Baldwin, of Cabot, has been assistant director of elections since May 2011. She has previously worked as a lobbyist, finance director and election-day coordinator for the Republican Party of Arkansas and legislative assistant to Gov. Mike Huckabee. She has a bachelor's degree in art history from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, according to her resume.
Clay, of Little Rock, has been educational services manager with the board since August 2011. He worked in voter registration in the secretary of state's office from 2005 to 2011. He has a bachelor's degree in marketing management from the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, according to his resume.

A new and essentially non-commercial software application developer service called API Commons has been created this month with the intention of providing programmers with a means of engaging in copyright-free sharing of API specifications, interfaces, and data models. API Commons will also promote community-centric collaborative design of API specifications as part of its core remit.
This development could herald a new era for API interchange and exchange, an area that has been subject to difficulties due to the fact that many APIs work to do comparable or related and associated jobs so copyright issues have been thrown up — as in the case of Oracle vs Google and the firm's API patent dispute.
As Ben Kepes notes on Forbes, "Many APIs provide similar or related functionality but use slightly different interface patterns, conventions in data models, or otherwise differ in ways often not important for delivery of the API's functionality. This requires fresh code implementations for each and every new API by consumers. Reuse of existing API Interface specifications and data models is often a legal grey area since there is no clear means for organizations to signal that such specifications are copyright free and available for reuse."
Despite recent copyright victories, the reuse of API interfaces remain a legal grey area and reuse of interface patterns may result in legal risks.
API Commons is headed up by API guru and programming thought leader Kin Lane and Steven Willmott, CEO of API management vendor 3Scale. Willmot and Lane hope to eradicate concerns of this kind with their new service, which allows APIs to be hosted under a Creative Commons license on GitHub for any programmer to use. Equally, any programmer can post API materials to the service and declare them to be copyright free and reusable.
Software developers will also be able to exercise an option to fork their API development projects, which could prove interesting if and when one particular API becomes popular and/or enjoys widespread developer interest.
According to the API Commons website, "APIs are transforming the web in radical new ways and are clearly leading a great deal of innovation and value — hence rapid growth of the number of APIs is a very desirable thing. This rapid growth, however, brings potentially huge costs — namely the need to create client (and server) code for potentially hundreds of thousands or millions of unique, slightly different APIs. While there are some solutions to help reduce this cost (automated code generation, or more flexible intelligent client code), it's unlikely to make much of a dent in the overall problem in the short and mid term."
The group sets out its desire for wanting to put APIs "in the commons" on the basis of the following points:
- >
- To make it explicit when an API in whole or part could be reused
- Build up a valuable set of reusable API interface resources over time
- The most popular of which may in turn encourage shared development of shared client (or server) code
- Remove legal risk from API Interface design reuse

Eden Montmorency Dried Tart Cherries are from 'transitional to organic' orchards that are in the process of becoming certified organic while using organic methods without chemicals. Eden's cherries are grown near the east shore of northern Lake Michigan, an ideal and historic tree fruit producing area due to its seasonal lake effect. Almost a decade ago six families in this region asked Eden to help them convert their orchards to organic. These original orchards have now been managed organically for nine years and more orchards are being converted to organic each year.
Unlike most dried fruit, Eden Dried Montmorency Tart Cherries contain no added refined sugar and we use NO sulfites, chemical preservatives or additives of any kind.
Fresh harvested cherries are cooled overnight in circulating water, then pitted and 'quick frozen'. Through this process they are inspected repeatedly, both visually and by machine. The cherries are thawed and infused by immersing them in Eden Organic Apple Juice Concentrate that is circulated over them until they reach the right 'Brix' or sweetness. The infused cherries are rinsed, low heat dried, and then coated very lightly with a mist of Eden Organic Safflower Oil to keep them from clumping. The low heat drying is warm air circulated until they are dry enough to become shelf stable, requiring no refrigeration. Contains 1.4 milligrams of anthocyanins (antioxidants) per 45 gram serving. A healthy, sweet and pleasantly tart snack.
A good source of potassium, low sodium and fat free, Eden Dried Montmorency Tart Cherries promote cardiovascular health. According to the FDA, "Diets containing foods that are a good source of potassium and that are low in sodium may reduce the risk of high blood pressure and stroke." They are also a good source of fiber and beta carotene vitamin A. The FDA says, "Low fat diets rich in fruits and vegetables (foods that are low in fat and may contain dietary fiber, Vitamin A, or Vitamin C) may reduce the risk of some types of cancer, a disease associated with many factors." Eden Dried Montmorency Tart Cherries are a healthy, sweet and pleasantly tart snack.
The Montmorency cherry is traditionally known as the 'pie cherry' and the 'healing cherry'. Where this cherry variety has been grown for generations, the locals attest to its abilities. A study at Michigan State University found the antioxidants anthocyanins and their anlyon cyanidin compounds in the pigment of the Montmorency cherry. They also found kaempferol, isoqueritrin, and quercetin. Research conducted at Brunswick Laboratories in Massachusetts and the Hollings Cancer Institute at the Medical University of South Carolina found that Montmorency cherries contain ellagic acid, a naturally occurring plant phenolic. Other compounds of note found in Montmorency cherries are perillyl alcohol and melatonin. Dr. Russell Reiter, of the University of Texas Health Science Center, said "We were surprised at how much melatonin was in cherries, specifically the Montmorency variety." According to research melatonin is a most potent antioxidant, even more so than vitamins C, E and A; it is soluble in both fat and water and can enter cells that many vitamins cannot.

OpenMake Software has released Release Engineer, part of its Software Dynamic DevOps Suite. This product is described as an enterprise-scale application release automation (ARA) solution for complex multi-platform environments.
Formerly known as Deploy+, this product centralizes the management, configuration, and reuse of all "Release and Deploy elements" for developers. It enables users to define release standards that can be inherited and customized specifically for each project team.
It supports multi-tiered platforms with no reliance on any agent technology. It also boasts a domain structure for the sharing of release components and dependencies for reuse across teams. Developers will also note that this technology features roll forward logic for incremental release processing.
"An enterprise release automation solution requires a tool that is highly reusable, can support multiple platforms including both WebSphere and MS IIS, and allows the central teams to support more releases with less staff", explains Stephen King, CEO, OpenMake Software. "Release Engineer solves these problems delivering a domain-driven framework for sharing components and release modules coupled with an agentless technology that reduces the overhead associated with deploy solutions that require the management of hundreds, if not thousands, of end-point deploy agents."
Company CTO Steve Taylor says that OpenMake's management of his firm's product contributes at the application level, creating silos of information that cannot be shared.
