Shai's Answers
What's an easy, eco-friendly habit that could help families save money?
Shai SmithReduce waste and reuse as often as possible! Getting rid of anything disposable would be a great first step, and was one of the first big steps my household made. First, we got rid of paper towels, napkins, plates, and silverware - we use cloth everything, and all of our cleaning cloths are made from repurposed old t-shirts! Most of our household uses family cloth instead of toilet paper as well, but that's not something I enforce as I don't want to leave a bad vibe regarding eco-friendliness on an unwilling husband or children. After getting rid of the obvious, start looking for other things you can stop wasting. For example, purchase an eco-friendly water bottle and refill it with your choice of beverage instead of buying it in small plastic bottles . Use Pinterest and your own creative juices to reuse or perk up old household items instead of purchasing new ones. The key, in our house, is to not buy as much stuff that can be tossed and don't toss as much stuff that can be reused. We reduce and reuse just about everything we can get our hands on!
What's the best way to introduce someone you're dating to your children?
Shai SmithLike the previous blogger, I made it as casual as possible - she knew mommy had a friend, and I talked about him ever so often. When they finally met, it was during a shopping trip. We needed groceries, and he came along for the experience. I felt like it was a good idea to introduce him to a bit of our normal daily life (he had a toddler and a preschooler, but my daughter was in 1st grade and my son was an infant), and it also took the pressure off of her to perform. Several weeks later, we introduced our children through a playground play-date. They had a blast but, again, they didn't feel pressured to play with each other as there were many different things for each of them to do. They wound up grouping together on their own rather than being stuck together. Whatever we did worked - we're married now and our blended family of six gets along great!
What's on your bucket list of things to do with your kids this summer?
Shai SmithAbsolutely, without a doubt, bubbles, sprinklers, and sidewalk chalk. Their grandparents live close by, so we see them all the time and will continue to do so throughout the break. But, getting 'back to the basics' and having good, dirty fun means a lot to us.
What's a great theme you've done for your child's birthday? Please share a link with a photo.
Shai SmithMy son's very first birthday had a 'rainbow colors' theme. Without using actual rainbows, we simply decorated everything that would hold still with a different color of the rainbow, and then made rainbow-colored foods. We had gluten and diary-free rainbow cake in a jar, rainbow layered fudge, rainbow layered jello and yogurt, picture frames painted all seven colors of the rainbow and filled with pictures of him over the last year. It was very simple, and cheap, but looked really put together! http://www.thevagabondstudio.com/2012/03/ninja-in-training-is-turning-one.html
At what age did you (or would you) give your child a cell phone? (Please include any contracts or conditions you gave your child with this use)
Shai SmithI am a divorced mom, and would love to give my 8 year old one of the simple 'kid' cell-phones if I felt she was responsible enough to take care of it. They only have few programmable buttons - mom, dad, 911, etc. I think these would be useful for kids to be able to get in touch with either parent in a split-home situation. Other than that, my child can have a cell phone when two things happen: 1) She has to be responsible enough to keep up with it and 2) She has to have a need for it. For example, an after-school practice that doesn't always end at the same time. Or, an after-school job from which I would need to pick her up. I received my first cell phone at 15, when I started my first job, so I could call my parents and let them know when to pick me up (I closed a restaurant, which could take anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour). I plan to follow something similar with my kids.
Would you let your child dye his or her hair?
Shai SmithI believe this is an absolute personal decision based upon the parent's feelings regarding hair dye as well as the relationship and maturity of the child - not to mention the reasoning for the child wanting to dye his or her hair in the first place. If a child is brunette and wants to be blonde and beautiful, for example, I would personally make them wait until they are 14 or 15 - changing yourself to 'be beautiful' is never really acceptable. At such a young age, we should be helping our children learn that they are beautiful and to find the positive aspects of themselves rather than helping them change them. As an eco-friendly mom, I'm also fairly against using chemicals on my child's head. I say 'fairly' because I actually do dye my hair (back to it's former bright shade, as it grows in a darker auburn now) and I am not a 'do as I say, not as I do' type of person. That being said, if the child simply wants to dye their hair for the fun of it - spirit day or bright streaks for the summer, etc. - there are many healthy stains available that can be used in place of hair dye. My daughter went through a phase where she loved pink so much she even wanted pink hair, so I allowed her to have a pink streak on each side of her face. The 'dye' was natural, but lasted 6-8 weeks, and was in a location where it could either be seen or covered up. She was ecstatic - her hair matched everything she owned. It was done just for the fun of it. We also naturally lightened her hair this summer using honey and lemon while she was out in the sun. It took her natural shade of dark blonde and brought out her already natural streaks a bit, much like the sun itself can do if you don't mind being in the sun too much. I pick my battles. Hair is not a battle I'm willing to fight - she can have her hair cut how she likes and I'm accepting of her wanting to play around with the color. So long as she does it in a safe, fun way and not to make herself 'pretty', and doesn't use nasty chemicals in the process, I'm fairly approving.
What are you most looking forward to as a mom in 2013? Please include a link to a picture if it's relevant.
Shai SmithMy daughter and I brought the New Year in by watching fireworks over the ocean in Tybee Island, Georgia. It was spectacular, and celebrating with her overwhelmed me so much that i decided to make 2013 a year of celebration. My family and I shall celebrate everything: Potty training (hopefully), good grades, successes in my business...and then little things like happy songs on the radio, first somersaults, and random dancing in the living room together. We're alive - we have every reason to be happy and celebrating life itself.

A vomiting bug sweeping through Britain, Europe and the United States could infect about half a million Australians this winter, warn scientists who identified the new strain.
The norovirus variant known as Sydney 2012 was identified last March by the University of New South Wales (UNSW) and the Prince of Wales Hospital in Sydney.
The virus has become the dominant strain in the UK, infecting about 1.2 million Britons and resulting in dozens of hospital ward closures, the nation's Health Protection Agency said last week.
It has also been detected in the US, New Zealand, Europe and Japan and is suspected to be behind the recent gastroenteritis outbreaks aboard several cruise ships.
The virus was only responsible for about a quarter of the gastroenteritis infections in NSW last year, but about 75 per cent in Adelaide, said Professor Peter White from the UNSW science faculty.
Prof White, who led the team that identified Sydney 2012, estimated the virus could infect more than 400,000 Australians this winter to become the dominant strain.
He said the strain was no more virulent or contagious than any other norovirus, but it had mutated to evade the immune system.
"It changes its coating slightly so it is not recognised by the immune system," Prof White told AAP.
The virus is a combination of two strains originating in Holland and Japan in about 2007, he said.
There are about 40 different strains of norovirus but only one type known as G11.4 causes epidemics and pandemics.
Prof White said the virus would likely hit child and aged-care facilities and hospitals hardest and could result in ward closures.
The virus causes vomiting and diarrhoea for one to three days but can be fatal for vulnerable groups, including the elderly.
Prof White said infected people should wait 48 hours after symptoms subside before returning to work, school or childcare to prevent the spread of the disease.

SRAM Red 22 Quarq Power Meter - BB30
SRAM and Quarq have once again put their best technologies forward to create the new Red 22 Quarq Power Meter - BB30 cransket. The original 2012 joining of the masterminds resulted in the Red crankset seamlessly pairing with Quarq's top-end power meter, which is why both revered manufacturers once again decided to combine their forces for the new power system. The finished product is a precise combination of accurate power data and the most advanced crankset technology that's been proven, and continually put to the test, by the best cyclists in the world.
SRAM's first generation Red crankset used a foam core, with a carbon structure wrapped around it, to meet SRAM's ambitions for drivetrain performance and weight. And while the stiff crank arms provided excellent response under load, one complaint that came from a handful of ProTour riders was that the front shifts occasionally lacked sufficient precision and crispness. SRAM's team of R&D experts set out to solve this gripe, and the changes that you'll find on the Red 22 Crankset directly correlate to improved shifting. As such, the new SRAM Red 22 crankset has gone away from that first-generation foam-core formula, and it now has a significantly more substantial arm shape with a true hollow cross section. Because of this larger carbon-optimizing structure, SRAM was able to use less material, effectively reducing weight without negatively affecting stiffness. This also allowed SRAM to rotate the spider in order to take advantage of the large, flex-fighting crank arm.
The Red Exogram chainrings have also received extensive reworking to boost front shifting, specifically focusing on integration with the rotating, Yaw-caged Red front derailleur. Coined X Glide R, these chainrings are machined from 5mm thick 7075-T6 aluminum and now have been carefully tuned to accommodate the 11-speed drivetrain. SRAM used extensive computer-aided finite element analysis to optimize stiffness first, followed by shift ramp profiles. Then they set out to eliminate any unnecessary material without affecting the structure. SRAM placed the new shift pins to correlate with your cadence and cut the ramps into a profile that works seamlessly with the new Red front derailleur.
SRAM chose to stick with the 130mm bolt circle diameter standard, ensuring compatibility with aftermarket chainrings, but it also arranged the spider to position a mounting bolt on the backside of the crank arm. By integrating a mounting location within the existing carbon structure, SRAM was able to reduce weight and deflection from shifting -- effectively enhancing the accuracy, speed, and quality of front shifts. This reduces the number of spider arms to four and gives the cranks a sleek, air-splitting profile. And this is also where Quarq comes into the mix.
This Quarq Power Meter system was specifically designed to be integrated with the new SRAM Red 22 group set. Similar to the 2012 system, Quarq's Power Balance technology displays the ratio of power generated between the drive and non-drive crankarms. This function seeks to improve rider form and efficiency, as you're now able to measure uneven distributions of force in your pedal stroke. Red also features the new Omnical power measurement that makes digital measurement and accuracy independent of the chainrings. This allows you to swap rings without impeding the overall accuracy of the system. Our favorite feature is the ability to change the system battery yourself. Unlike SRM PowerMeter systems that require you to mail in your crankset for battery swap-outs, the Red Power Meter features a tool-less user replacement system as well as a predicted 300+ hours of ride time per battery. This means more time in the saddle and no need for backup cranksets. The Red Power Meter is also extremely accurate, operating on the powerful ANT+ wireless system with an expressed accuracy of +/- 1.5%.The Red 22 Quarq Power Meter - BB30 uses integrated electronics with minimal interconnections. This means that the new Red system is completely waterproof. The Red Power Meter System is also compatible with various training software such as Training Peaks WKO+, Training Peaks, Golden Cheetah, and Strava. The Red Power Meter operates wirelessly with ANT+, and is offered as a standalone item.
The Red 22 BB30 Crankset comes in 170, 172.5, 175, and 177mm lengths, and both 53/39t and 50/34t chainring configurations are available.

Harvard took a 3-0 lead in the first inning of a 7-4 win over UC Riverside Friday (Gil Talbot).
RIVERSIDE, Calif. – The Harvard softball team (4-2) got its 2011 spring break trip started in fine style, downing tournament host UC Riverside (5-15), 7-4, in the Crimson's first game at the UC Riverside tournament. It represents Harvard's second-straight victory after taking down Providence last weekend in Boca Raton, Fla.
Reigning Ivy League Player of the Week Ellen Macadam helped Harvard out to a fast start with a single to center to lead off the game and Ashley Heritage followed with a bunt single. After moving to third on a Whitney Shaw fly out, Macadam came home with Harvard's first run when Heritage swiped second base. Rookie catcher Allison Scott drove in Heritage with an RBI single and Jane Alexander made it 3-0 in the first, plating Kasey Lange with a single to right field.
Rachel Brown, Ivy League Pitcher of the Week for the first week of the season, held the Riverside hitters in check through the first four innings, holding the hosts to three hits and fanning two batters as well. In the top of the fourth, Lange led off with a double to center field and Harvard proceeded to load the bases on another single by Scott. Mari Zumbro stepped up and drove a single to center, plating Lange and Stephanie Regan to stake Harvard to a 5-0 lead after five full innings.
Two more runs came in for Harvard in the top of the sixth as Shaw drove in Heritage with an RBI double to center and Shelbi Olson popped a single up the middle to plate Kassy Shiotani with Harvard's seventh run. Riverside got on the board in the bottom half of the inning, scoring two runs on just one hit and added two more in the bottom of the seventh which proved to be not enough to overtake the Crimson.
Heritage turned in a 3 for 4 day at the plate, scoring a pair of runs and swiping two bases while Lange and Scott collected a pair of hits each. Brown improved to 4-0 on the season with six innings of work, scattering five hits and conceding two runs while fanning five batters. Laura Ricciardone picked up a strikeout in her one inning of work in the circle.
Harvard is back in action tomorrow as it faces St. Louis and North Dakota at 12 p.m. and 2:30 p.m., respectively (Eastern Standard time) at Day 2 of the UCR Tournament.

1986 Accounting Hall of Fame Induction
Robert N. Anthony
Presented by: Robert M. Trueblood Professor Yuji Ijiri Carnegie-Mellon University
Written by: Professor Thomas J. Burns The Ohio State University
Born into a close family that might have been painted by a Rockwell, a family directly descended from those who came over on the Mayflower, he is a private person-possibly because he skipped several grades while his brothers did not, although close to him in age.
He is remembered as a boy not so much for playing the saxaphone or even as the owner of a $20 Model-T who could change drivers at full throttle, but as a boy scout who developed a lifelong passion for mountain climbing and skiing, and as an avid reader of books with one forefinger turning the pages and the other scooped peanut butter out of a jar.
A New Englander of steadfast integrity, he is a friend of greatest loyalty to many, including a number of institutions such as his New Hampshire hometown, Waterville Valley, where he has been the town auditor for a decade; the U.S. Defense Department for which he served in two wars, the last one as Comptroller; his alma maters, Colby College and the Harvard Business School, each of which he has served with the utmost distinction for 50 years; the National Association of Accountants for whom he is a guru; and the American Accounting Association for whom he has been president.
A student who has burnished bright the memory of his mentor, Ross Graham Walker, he is now truly memorable to his own students even if he could never remember their names. But how could students forget a teacher who explained the elusive concept of depreciation by burning a candle?
His considerable competency in word processing has led to publications which stem, he claims, from being a poor boy required to take touch typing.

The NBA wants to bring fans closer to the action. The league announced Thursday that one game each week would broadcasted in virtual reality.
This makes the NBA the first professional sports league to offer this option, working with NextVR to produce games in the regular season. In order to watch games in this format, fans will need a subscription to NBA League Pass and a Samsung VR headset.
The broadcasts will offer multiple camera angles, instant replays, graphics and commentators exclusive to VR.
U.S. & World
This also points to the international following that the NBA has, NBA vice president of global media distribution Jeff Marsillo said to USA Today.
"We broadcast our games in over 210 countries now, and these are passionate fans," he said. "But for most of them, they're not able to attend a game in person, let alone sit courtside."
The multiyear commitment deal with NextVR will change that.
A free trial of this experience is offered on Oct. 29 for the Sacramento Kings vs San Antonio Spurs game.

Grants Awarded for 33 Humanities Projects at Museums, Historical Organizations, and Libraries
The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) today announced that 33 projects at U.S. museums, historical organizations, and libraries will receive a total of $773,000 for consultation and planning grants to support the development of public humanities programming.
"Museums, historical organizations, and libraries bring the humanities to life for many Americans," said NEH Chairman Bruce Cole in announcing the awards. "Through the collaboration of scholars, curators, and exhibit designers, audiences will deepen their understanding of history and culture through excellent public programming in the humanities."
A complete list of the planning and consultation grants is available as PDF in the above box.
With consultation grants of up to $10,000 each, 18 institutions will work with scholars at the very earliest stages of a project on exhibitions, reinstallations or reinterpretations of permanent collections or historic sites, institutional interpretive planning, or other kinds of public humanities projects. For nine of the 18 institutions, the new consultation grant is their first NEH grant for public programming.
New NEH consultation grants will support projects such as these:
- The L.C. Bates Museum (Hinckley, Maine) will consult with scholars to plan public programs about a historic orphanage in the larger contexts of institutional child care since the late 19th century;
- North Carolina's Greensboro Historical Museum will define themes and preliminary design issues for a new permanent core exhibition about Greensboro to open during the city's bicentennial celebration in 2008;
- Friends of the Missouri State Archives (Jefferson City) will consult for a traveling exhibition and public programs exploring the unique nature of the Civil War in Missouri;
- Save Ellis Island (Gladstone, N.J.) will work to develop the first permanent exhibition interpreting the hospital complex on Ellis Island; and
- The Indiana State Library in Indianapolis will consult on establishing a traveling exhibition and statewide education programs examining World War I and its impact on the people of Indiana.
Planning grants offer museums, historical organizations, libraries, and other humanities-based institutions up to $40,000 each to support projects that require further preparations before being ready for full implementation. In most cases, a team of humanities scholars and programming advisers, representing a variety of perspectives, will work with an institution's staff to develop and refine key humanities themes of planned public programs, with examples such as these:
- The Bob Bullock Texas State History Museum in Austin will plan for a traveling exhibition and public programs exploring immigration and slave migration through Galveston, Texas, from 1845 to 1914;
- Ohio's Cincinnati Museum Center will continue development of two traveling exhibitions on the life and work of James Presley Ball, a 19th-century African American photographer, entrepreneur, and abolitionist; and
- The OASIS Institute (St. Louis, Mo.) will plan a national program of informal courses for older adults and a related website to examine the role of immigration in the history and culture of the United States.
NEH grants are awarded on a competitive basis. Throughout the year, humanities experts outside of the Endowment and members of the National Council on the Humanities consider all applications and advise NEH on the quality and significance of each proposed project. Additional information about the Endowment and its grant programs is available on the Internet at www.NEH.gov.

Robin Roberts was back on "Good Morning America" on Wednesday, notching a major milestone in her recovery from a rare blood disorder.
"I have been waiting 174 days to say this: 'Good morning, America,'" she said.
Roberts appeared at the desk beside her co-host George Stephanopoulos with short hair and a broad smile — and to warm welcomes from her on-air cohorts and others.
President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle shared a welcome-back, too.
"We've been thinking about you and praying for you and rooting for you every step of the way," the first lady said.
It has been five months to the day since Roberts underwent a blood marrow transfusion to treat her myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), with which she was diagnosed last year and which has been blamed on her breast cancer treatment five years earlier.
"I keep pinching myself and I realize this is real," Roberts said Wednesday. "Faith, family and friends have brought me to this moment, and I am so full of gratitude."

It's the fish tale that just won't die.
Sharknado, that ridiculous (and ridiculously awesome) cheese fest from the SyFy Network's churning chum bucket of quality TV, is getting the RiffTrax treatment when "RiffTrax Live: Sharknado" swims into nearly 650 theaters nationwide this July.
RiffTrax, for the uninitiated, is made up of the same crew who unleashed "Mystery Science Theater 3000" on the world: Michael J. Nelson, Kevin Murphy and Bill Corbett.
The Rifftrax format is simple:
- A movie is shown
- The RiffTrax team makes fun of it live
- Everyone in the audience hyperventilates because the funny is brought with a VENGEANCE.

Installing SQL Server 2012 SP1 CTP4 Experience
Posted by denglishbi on September 22, 2012
A standalone version of the SQL Server 2012 SP1 was released this week. It is not the final release, just a community technology preview (CTP4), but a release that we can test out none the less. The exciting part of this release to me are the enhancements that have been added to Power View. Here you will see the steps I went through to upgrade my evaluation virtual machine I have setup that is based on the Appendix B that comes with our book – Visualizing Data with Microsoft Power View.
First you will need to download the SQL Server 2012 SP1 CTP and you can do that from here – SQL Server 2012 SP1 CTP (there is even a full SQL 2012 slipstream version you can download as well that includes the service pack). You also might want to download some of the additional features that are provided with the feature pack and you can get that from here – Microsoft® SQL Server® 2012 SP1 Community Technology Preview Feature Pack.
Once you have the service pack downloaded you can run this on your machine and follow through the screenshots below.
I had one item that I needed to shutdown so that I could avoid a restart after I installed the service pack and that was related to IIS services (these are running because of SharePoint 2010).
So I had to stop the IIS Admin Service and the World Wide Wed Publishing Service.
I did a refresh check and I was good to go.

Support to restore Excel 2013 PowerPivot files in Tabular SSAS
SQL Saturday #149 is coming up next:)
SharePoint 2010 will not support the Power View that is in Excel 2013 files.
I noticed that my PowerPivot was not working yet, so need to run the PowerPivot Configuration Tool.
New version detected, time to upgrade.
Run the upgrade process.
After this is done we go back in and test out PowerPivot again
Now it works just fine. The one thing I noticed is that it doesn't appear to be working with the Excel 2013 PowerPivot files though.
Maybe these will not work in SharePoint 2010, not quite sure yet, will need to look into this more.
For more information on the new features available in the updated version of Power View check out some of these references:
- Power View meet Microsoft Excel 2013
- Power View meet Microsoft Excel 2013 Part 2
- Learn More about Power View in Excel 2013 Preview
- Sean Boon's Blog (great series on Olympic data)
Here are some more links for information on the SP1 updates:
This service pack also includes performance improvements with slicers and filters with PowerPivot and Tabular SSAS as well as I demoed here in this post and video – Excel PowerPivot SQL 2012 vs. Excel 2013 Performance Demo.
Now we just need to wait for the final release and hopefully that will be coming out in a couple of months now, should be very soon. Enjoy!

That's great news! I assume that means that when this rolls out we can use it in Sharepoint 2010 with Powerview so that we can use templates as you mentioned on another blog. It sounds like this would be available before Sharepoint 2013. It also sounds like we don't have to be using Excel 2013, is that correct? We are currently piloting SQLServer 2012 BI features in Sharepoint 2010 but would like the added features. If we had to wait for Sharepoint 2013 and Excel 2013 we probably wouldn't be able to start on that until the end of next year. I hoping the CTP3 or CTP4 will enable us to use templates, etc with PowerView some time in the first half of the year. Does that sound realistic?

When I installed SP1 CTP4 job with processing in-memory model became slowly in 2 times. Do You have this issue ?
November 7, 2012 at 8:05 am
Great experience, Thank you.
There are new aggregations in powerview ? (like cumulative value for exemple ?)
Thanks in advance for you response.
November 15, 2012 at 4:44 pm
Thank you for sharing the article on installation. Also found a good sample video here:
November 27, 2012 at 6:25 pm
Great article. Quick question, to access the new powerview features in sharepoint 2010 do we just need to upgrade our sharepoint SQL server instance (hosting reporting services) to sp1 or do we need to any upgrades within sharepoint also?
November 28, 2012 at 4:56 am
We've installed SQL Server 2012 SP1 on all our instances (SharePoint 2010 SP1), however the new powerview features (kpi, heirarchies etc) are no showing when we open the powerview app when pointing to the tabular model. Is there anything else we need to do to activate these features? The powerview version is still showing as 11.0.2…, yet the SQL Server the reporting services app exists on is definitely 11.0.3.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Is there any news about when this will be released (approximate time frame)?

Bob Gates Against the World
Defense Secretary Robert Gates has again made headlines with a proposal to slow the growth of the Pentagon's budget -- already higher than at any point since World War II -- by cutting overhead, waste and a top-heavy command structure.
The proposed shuttering of Joint Forces Command (Jif-Com) has elicited most of the press attention today, and prompted an impassioned plea from Virginia politicians, including Gov. Bob McDonnell, that the command remain open. Unhelpfully for Gov. McDonnell, outgoing Jif-Com head James Mattis (who will assume the title of CENTCOM), reportedly supports Gates's decision.
But this isn't the first time that opportunistic politicians have latched onto defense spending as a way to sprinkle economic benefits to their constituents, and at the expense of the rest of us. (In the same vein, Gates reportedly repeated his pledge to kill the entire DoD appropriation if it includes the unwanted C-17 and the alternate engine for the Joint Strike Fighter that some members of Congress continue to push.)
Leaving aside the predictable political wailings, the reforms that Gates proposed are neither revolutionary, nor particularly controversial to most objective observers. Politico's Gordon Lubold and Jen DiMascio in their ever-helpful Morning Defense newsletter point out that "The cuts seemed to take several pages out of the Defense Business Board task force led by [Arnold] Punaro that recently recommended many of the same trims." (For more on that report, see here.)
The true object of Gates latest round of economizing is to forestall calls for deeper cuts by a public frustrated by the high costs and dubious benefits of our military's exertions over the years. Gates explained:
"What we need is modest, sustainable growth over a prolonged period of time that allows us to make sensible investment decisions and not have these giant increases and giant decreases that make efficiency and doing acquisition in a sensible way almost impossible." (my emphasis)
But Gates either misapprehends or mischaracterizes the true source of the problem. U.S. military spending has grown for 13 years, 86 percent in inflation-adjusted dollars from 1998 to 2011. Claiming that uncertainty over future military spending impedes effective planning and creates waste ignores that relative certainty over ever-rising defense budgets has enabled the very waste and mismanagement that Gates now proposes to cure.
Gates also succumbs to (or, worse, propagates) the sort of threat inflation that has afflicted U.S. foreign policy for decades, and about which Ben Friedman and John Mueller have written much. Gates claims that the U.S. military needs to grow because the world is becoming "more dangerous." More dangerous than what? The notion that a few hundred al Qaeda ragamuffins and their Taliban allies poses a greater threat to Americans than a nuclear-armed Soviet Union is absurd on its face, and yet we spend more on our military today than at the height of the Cold War.
This threat inflation distorts our strategic planning, and does more harm to our long-term security than too many high paid civilians in the Pentagon. Although Pentagon waste and excessive overhead is a problem, it isn't the problem. The fact that we have too many flag officers doesn't explain why the United States spends more on its military than every other country in the world. Rather, it is our overly ambitious foreign policy that needlessly wastes U.S. taxpayer resources around the world in quixotic enterprises to rebuild failed states, reform sclerotic political systems, hunt after terrorists, and otherwise defend other countries who should defend themselves.
Cuts in military spending -- real cuts, not merely slowing the rate of growth -- would impose some short-term pain on an overburdened military that has been used and misused by our political class since the end of the Cold War. A better solution would be to adopt a more restrained grand strategy, one dedicated to defending our security and advancing our interests, but that forced other countries to play a larger role in doing the same. Restraint would allow for a much smaller -- and less expensive -- U.S. military, and would result in no diminution of American security.
The Washington establishment is unlikely to embrace such a strategy any time soon, however, because it would impose some real constraints on both the military and on Congress, the latter of which continues to use the Pentagon's budget as a vehicle for dispensing pork under the guise of making Americans safer.
Unhappily for Gates, but especially for our troops, cuts in military spending are likely to come without an attendant change in how our military is used.

Prior to the use of protease inhibitors, one of the greatest fears of a person living with HIV/AIDS was having the "look" of a person with HIV-associated wasting.
Loss of lean body mass and fat causes this skeletal appearance. Even in the era of HAART, HIV-associated wasting still occurs and has a significant effect on quality of life, illness and death.
The fact that wasting is not talked about much, not recognized or even monitored may be due to the focus placed on the body shape or metabolic (elevated blood fats, insulin resistance) changes occurring today. Wasting still occurs and to properly manage it, early detection and frequent monitoring is necessary.
A Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis (BIA) test is one tool to estimate body composition and monitor for wasting.
|BIA tests take less than three minutes to perform and are painless.
Body Composition
Part of a person's body weight is comprised of bone, water, muscle, organs, blood and other materials and is referred to as lean body mass or fat-free mass. The rest of a person's body weight is fat.
A specific part of the lean body mass plays a crucial role in fighting infections and the day-to-day chores the body must perform to keep functioning. This part is called body cell mass and includes skeletal muscle, organs, other cells and fluid. A minimal amount of body cell mass must be maintained by the body to support its day-to-day activities plus fight infection. Loss of body cell mass is wasting.
Here are some commonly asked questions about HIV-associated wasting:
Are scales that give body fat percentage useful?
Scale weight alone is not an adequate indicator of internal health. When someone loses, gains or even maintains weight, the composition of that weight needs to be frequently assessed and monitored.
If weight gain or weight loss has occurred, was it in fat or body cell mass? And if weight has remained stable, has the makeup of that weight changed internally?
Frequent monitoring with a BIA test can provide answers to these questions. Other machines on the market may only give weight and fat percentage and not provide the body cell mass component. Not to downplay the need to monitor fat stores and at the same time satisfy everyone's curiosity, the body cell mass is the component associated with wasting and survival.
How can I keep and increase body cell mass?
Adequate intake of calories from protein, carbohydrates and fats, plus adequate fluid, are part the solution. Viral suppression, exercise, hormonal regulation and absence of opportunistic infections are also needed to maintain and increase body cell mass. If you are experiencing loss of appetite or side effects that interfere with food intake, speak to your doctor and dietitian for suggestions. Not eating enough leads to weight loss and can further compromise your health.
Do BIA tests hurt?
No, the test is painless. A person lies on a massage table and electrodes are placed on his or her hands, wrists, feet and ankles. The test requires less than three minutes to perform. No blood is drawn for a BIA test.
Where can I get a test?
Some doctors are doing BIA tests. That way, your test results get put into your medical chart to help direct the course of your medical care. AIDS Project Los Angeles offers a Preserve Lean Body Mass Class with BIA workshop twice each month. During this workshop, measurements of the waist, mid-arm, chest, plus a tricep skinfold measurement, are taken to track changes associated with body shape. A BIA test should be done more than once to monitor any changes over time. Clients are urged to return and repeat the test every four months.
If you are interested in attending the class and having a BIA test or any other classes, please call Janelle L'Heureux, M.S., R.D., at (213) 201-1556 or Marcy Fenton, M.S., R.D., at (213) 201-1611.

Helen Hunt talks to Jeremy Kay about playing a sex surrogate in The Sessions.
Helen Hunt admits it did not take long to commit to the role of sex surrogate Cheryl in The Sessions. "There are so few good parts for woman," says the 1998 Oscar winner for As Good As It Gets, "and this jumped out at me."
She had not met the film's star John Hawkes before they started shooting the true story of the late 38-year-old polio victim Mark O'Brien, who hires a sex surrogate to lose his virginity.
"It was perfect because the fact is we didn't know each other so it felt real," says Hunt of the palpable awkwardness in the scene where Cheryl and O'Brien first encounter each other in a hotel.
Hunt confesses she felt anxious about the on-screen nudity but adds, "I am an actor and I am thinking about the scene. We did no rehearsal and no reading. I asked where the cameras would be so I didn't have to worry about that and then we began, so most of the homework I did before the cameras rolled."
Speaking of homework Hunt boned up on her subject and got to know Cheryl Cohen Greene — the actual surrogate, now in her 60s — upon whom her character is based.
"I spoke to her several times. I don't have high expectations because it's often not helpful to talk to real people, but more than ever before I devoured everything she said.
"She talked about her work with great enthusiasm, as if she were talking to her granddaughter. She was very fond of Mark. It was really lovely to be around her."
Hunt will receive the Spotlight Award on January 5 at the Palm Springs International Film Festival. Previous winners include Amy Adams and Jessica Chastain, who both went on to receive Academy Award nominations in the year they received the award.

The Public Accountant Looks at Internal Auditing
By RICHARD H. GROSSE Partner, Pittsburgh Office
Presented before the American Management Association Finance Orientation Seminar, New York--September 1957, and before a joint meeting of The Institute of Internal Auditors and the Pennsylvania Institute of Certified Public Accountants, Pittsburgh — October 1957
In my discussion today I should like to relate my experiences and observations in certain broad areas which affect the internal auditor and the public accountant by proposing these questions:
• What rôle does the internal auditor play in the public accountant's
• Why has there been an increasing significance of internal control?
• In what areas can we coordinate the procedures of internal auditor and
public accountant?
• What can we do to elevate the professional status of the internal
Although the public accountant is continually expanding his field and specializing more and more in taxation, management advisory services, operations research, etc., he still spends most of his time in making audits which will enable him to render a certificate with respect to financial statements
of business enterprises.
So before we have the public accountant look at the internal auditor suppose we have the internal auditor look at the public accountant and his "official" literature on the subject.
One of our well-known textbooks on auditing has this to say about internal auditors:
"In large well-organized concerns having a staff of internal auditors devoting their entire time to the examination of original records and related matters, the tests made by the professional auditor may be considerably curtailed. In such instances the professional auditor should review the scope of the work of the internal auditing staff, including any reports that may be prepared as a result of such work, and take into account in deciding upon the scope of his own

AMERICUS – Sophomore Jasmine McSwain posted her first double-double of the season by scoring 12 points and grabbing 12 rebounds in a losing effort as Georgia College defeated Georgia Southwestern, 69-58, on Saturday afternoon in the Storm Dome.
During the first half there was no clear leader in the game. Each team was splitting time in the lead. GSW achieved a lead of six points with four minutes left in the half; this was Southwestern's largest lead of the afternoon. The Lady 'Canes led 29-25 at the half.
McSwain did her best scoring in the second half, as she was 4-for-4 from the free throw line and connected 2 of 6 field goals and pulled down six defensive rebounds.
The Lady Bobcats were able to catch GSW with 17:50 to play and take the lead for good one possession later. GC's largest lead of the afternoon came in the final minute, ahead by 13. McSwain made two free throws to close the game out at 69-58.
Sophomore Danyelle Jones had a great scoring night with 15 points, this is her career high at GSW. She also contributed seven rebounds (another career high) and three assists. Shanedra Lockett and Tiara Thompson scored nine points, six rebounds, and one steal each. Lockett added four assists to her stats.
This was senior Ottishia Burden's first game back after her injury. Burden recorded four minutes of playing time and two points.
Freshman Sierra Barrino-Kennedy recorded her personal best with four blocks.
GC recorded two double-doubles for Thresia Elskamp and Keys, along with double-figure scoring from Enisha Donley and Brandi McKinney.
The Lady Hurricanes are now 4-3, 0-1 PBC this season. Georgia College improves to 6-0, 2-0 PBC. This is the 12th win for the Bobcats against the Lady 'Canes (12-4) since GSW joined the NCAA in 2006-07.
Southwestern will be on the road on Saturday, Dec. 14 playing Peach Belt Conference opponent Clayton State at 1:30 p.m.

Part of National Museums Liverpool
Also in this section…?
Victorian Life is a small display watercolours, prints, photographs and original Victorian dolls from National Museums Liverpool's collections. A newly acquired work, St John's Market by popular local artist Samuel Austin, is on show for the first time.
'St John's Market' by Samuel Austin
Images of shopping, leisure and play during the nineteenth century reveal both the romanticized ideals and harsh realities of everyday Victorian living, from the pastoral scenes created by Myles Birket Foster to depictions of the poor members of Victorian society by Scottish documentary photographer John Thomson.
Foster's sentimental pictures were popular among the Victorians, who liked their countryside scenes to be picturesque and populated by healthy, quaintly-dressed agricultural workers chewing corn. In an increasingly urban and industrial society these reminders of a simpler time must have proved irresistible to the Victorian city dwellers.
In contrast, Thomson portrayed the cabmen, flower-sellers and street musicians whose services often enhanced the leisure activities of the richer classes. However their own daily struggle for survival left them with neither the time nor the means to indulge in such pursuits themselves.
Misses, by Kate Greenaway (1846-1901). Watercolour, bodycolour and scraping out on paper, c.1879
Other works on show include watercolours by Kate Greenaway and Frederick Walker - both remembered for their literary illustrations. Greenaway was primarily children's author and illustrator. Her pictures usually featuring children in Regency-style costume and taking part in their own versions of adult social activities, such as the promenade. Her 'dressed up babies' appealed to the idealised Victorian notions of childhood and the books were immensely popular.
The display also features an etching by James (Abbott) McNeill Whistler combining two popular Victorian pastimes of boating and outdoor sketching. The famous American artist Whistler is widely acknowledged as a master in the medium of etching and visited Liverpool on many occasions to see his major patron, local ship owner Frederick Leyland. He also exhibited work at the Walker's annual autumn exhibitions in 1872 and 1891.

Secretary Michael Chertoff, head of the Department of Homeland Security, announced a set of final revisions to the controversial Real ID Act in a press conference this morning. It's not clear at this point how extensive those revisions truly are, but it is clear that DHS feels that the rules are now in their final form and that the period for discussion, revision, and dispute is now over.
"There comes a point in time where all the discussion and analysis has to stop. We are now six years away from 9/11. Simply kicking this problem further down the road is a time-tested Washington way of smothering a proposal with process," said Chertoff. "The time has come to bite the bullet." Or, as Jack Bauer might say (while in the midst of breaking half a dozen laws in the name of stopping an impending attack), "We're running out of time!"
Chertoff summarized the major features of the final rules as follows:
- People must provide documentation that proves who they are and that they're here in this country legally
- The DMV must verify that the documents they're being presented with are legit, and take steps to protect their own databases from misuse.
- Licenses must meet tamper-proof standards
- States have to work together to assure that individuals aren't able to obtain driver's from multiple states in an improper manner
Again, there's nothing really new here in big-picture terms, but a closer examination of the rules when they're published in the Federal Register may turn up some major concessions on the government's part.
Chertoff emphasized that DHS revised the rules in close consultation with the states in order to address concerns about implementation costs. "Contrary to what some people say, this is not just the federal government big-footing itself onto the states. We had a great deal of consultation [with the states]. So, this is very much the product of a lot of listening, and a lot of careful consideration."
Chertoff claims that as a result of some revisions to the rules, like allowing the states more flexibility in meeting Real ID's citizen identification and database access requirements, the cost to states has been cut by three quarters. He noted that the average cost for a Real ID-compliant license is now $8 per license.
It may not be a "national ID card," but it's still a matter of national security
While Chertoff was a pains to emphasize DHS's willingness to accommodate concerns from the states in formulating the final rules, he was equally insistent that DHS had given no quarter to the whining of civil libertarians and privacy advocates.
Chertoff first addressed privacy advocates by declaring, "We are not going to have a national database." Rather, Real ID will link databases together with a unified query service, in a manner that enables them to function as a de facto national database. (See the difference?)
"This is a great teaching moment on the challenges of really reconfiguring our society so that we can take reasonable steps to secure ourselves in a way that is nevertheless consistent with our civil liberties and our prosperity," Chertoff said in the Q&A session following the announcement.
Chertoff also hauled out a very large civil liberties strawman—that privacy advocates are "against all identification" and (by implication) don't care if "Mohammed Atta number two" gets on an airplane—and proceeded to absolutely beat it like a piñata throughout the course of the announcement and subsequent Q&A session.
The secretary repeatedly characterized opponents of Real ID as being in favor of weak forms of ID on the premise that more secure forms of ID will lead to a false sense of security.
(This is only half true. Opponents of Real ID are opposed to a reliance on positive identification as front-line security measure. As Bruce Schneier has argued, positive identification is not a good proxy for "intent to do harm," since very few suicide bombing recruits have a history of terrorism the way that criminals have a history of crime. Andrew McCarthy, a former federal anti-terror prosecutor and a figure who's firmly in the "democracy and national security are incompatible in an age of nuclear terrorism" camp, made much the same point about the difficulty of identifying terrorists in a speech that I reported on last year.)
At any rate, it's not at all clear to me how to square Chertoff's characterization of Real ID as an urgent matter of national security with DHS's past insistence that Real ID is not an attempt to make the driver's license a de facto national ID card, but perhaps a reader could enlighten me on this point.
Stopping illegals and ID thieves
Chertoff also took a hardline stance against illegal immigration and identity theft, citing both of these issues as almost on par with national security concerns in the implementation of the new rules.
The announcement's emphasis on ID theft and illegal immigration was prefigured in Chertoff's speech during an advisory council meeting yesterday, where the secretary stated that "false identification facilitates illegal immigration, which I'm hearing again and again as a very big concern for the American people. False identification facilitates identity theft."
Chertoff suggested in the Q&A that employers would flock to adopt Real ID as a method for screening potential employees to ensure that they are US residents. There are no laws currently on the books that force employers to use Real ID, but Chertoff made the case that a desire to be in compliance with existing employment law would create a "demand" for positive ID that Real ID would then meet for employers.
The secretary also repeatedly emphasized the importance of a reliable driver's license as an identity theft prevention measure. You might think that the federal government's repeated accidental exposures of citizens' data through security lapses would pose a larger threat to the security of our identities than fake IDs, but DHS's press release claims that fake driver's licenses were used in 35 percent of the ID theft cases that the Secret Service investigated between 2000 and 2006.
If your state doesn't comply, it'll be no fun to fly
Because the Real ID rules are all opt-in, states can still refuse to comply with the requirements. However, if your license is issued by a non-compliant state, then you can expect to have a hard time getting on an airplane.
"If a state were to opt out of this, then their license would no longer as a matter of law be accepted as as proper identification for getting on an airplane," said Chertoff. He later explained that people from states that opt out can still get on airplanes and into federal buildings by "bringing other documents that are satisfactory." Either that, or they'll have to go into secondary screening, which means a sit-down interview with an agent.
