If your life is anything like mine, you find it's a struggle to not lose yourself in the shuffle of family, job and getting through every day.
Further, the holiday season is all about everyone else.
And that's fine. I'm all about giving; it's what bring me joy.
Side note: I do need to do a better job of giving my family present ideas, however. The annual, "I don't need anything" line has resulted in the culmination of a collection of "Cadillac" kitchen utensils and gadgets. Where my dear husband finds $30 pancake turners, I'll never know! I won't get started on the new cheese grater.... I'm quite certain it has the potential to remove siding from a house, if one were so inclined!
Now that the tinsel has settled, it's time to relax, re-group and re-focus. Some of that focusing is going to be directed specifically at yours truly. I caught my reflection passing the foyer mirror yesterday and emitted one of those horrified, little screams. Okay....it was more than just a little scream.

Bryanna Clark Grogan's Vegan Feast Kitchen/ 21st Century Table: The kitchen journal of a vegan food writer.. I'm on Facebook and Twitter (see links in sidebar at right).
Thursday, July 22, 2010
The pattypan squash are blooming-- can't wait for the little beauties!
DH does most of the gardening-- 99% of it-- around here, but neither of us is really into gardening. But you can't live in the country and not grow something in the summer! So here is a picture essay of our conventional garden and our deck garden. It's really producing now! So nice to have fresh greens and herbs, and there is is absolutely nothing like your own home-grown tomatoes! (And our island market and market gardens can provide the rest for us!)
The Conventional Garden:
Lettuce, chard and kale
The tomatoes in the garden, surrounded by chicken wire to keep the cats from digging!
Chard up close
A pattypan blossom peeking out
A volunteer nasturtium cuddling up to a lettuce
BTW, in the front of the house, I have sage and a big rosemary bush, but I forgot to take pics!
The Deck Garden: (We always grow basil and cherry tomatoes on the back because it gets nice and hot, but this year we also have Italian parsley and we used some old dresser drawers to grow mesclun, baby spinach and more lettuce. I can go out and snip off some salad without getting my feet dirty! Evidently, if you cut lettuce about an inch above the soil, it will grow back! And I'm told you can do the same with spinach.)
I never had any luck with ordinary parsley, but the Italian parsley is doing wonderfully!
Dresser-drawer lettuce planter!
Dresser-drawer spinach-- so tender, and so clean when you snip it off!
Spinach and lettuce growing in drawers
Basil on the deck
Black cherry tomatoes-- so good!
The Harvest:
Fresh basil
Lettuce in the colander and spinach in the bag-- picked this morning!
Lettuce DH picked on Tuesday-- we save organic greens boxes and layer the cleaned, spun greens in them between pieces of paper toweling-- they keep quite well that way.
Fresh arugula in the spinner
My favorite lettuce spinner-- the Oxo Good Grips. It spins so well, it has a "brake" on it!
The Eating:
Lunch yesterday-- a "chef's salad" of fresh butter lettuce topped with Soy Curls sautéed in a little olive oil with some homemade bacon salt (no bacon in it!- here's my recipe), toasted pecans, and some strawberries and blueberries, with my Fig Balsamic Vinaigrette (low-fat). Yum!
Lunch today was a piece of leftover homemade pizza with this salad of fresh butter lettuce and arugula with marinated artichokes and some homemade bean salad.
Boy, don't we vegans suffer (not!)?

I love your last line: "boy don't we vegans suffer...not!" Story of my life, I feel I tell that to somebody almost daily!
Oh and I love the dresser drawer planters. I wonder if its too late to plant lettuce...hmmm...

Lovely garden Bryanna...this spring we are determined to get our own veggies planted on Serendipity Farm despite our predicament with our rock infested soil. Your photos are very encouraging and show that you have to think smarter NOT harder about where and how to plant...dresser drawers are a great idea and we are just going to have to make raised beds for our requirements.

If you have found yourself in the (un)fortunate position of having to use LinkedIn's shareArticle API to share a URL, you may notice that there is around zero articles detailing exactly how to utilize the API correctly. Even LinkedIn doesn't have an official developer support page which details exactly how to use their shareArticle API.
Too Long, Didn't Read:
Use proper meta tags and image combinations and just give LinkedIn the url parameter to their shareArticle API
Lucky for you I recently had to deal with this horribly under-documented share functionality at work and am going to outline exactly what to do to get it working!
Theoretically the shareArticle API should work like this, and actually this is how you want to use it:
You may notice that if you try this with your webpage, LinkedIn doesn't gather all the correct information about your page, or possibly it doesn't gather any information about your page except for its title and url. Where is the thumbnail? And where is the description? Lucky for you there's no documentation describing how you can get LinkedIn to pull that information save for a couple forum postings...that have no helpful information. But the shareArticle API also allows you to pass some GET params to the shareArticle API - to trick you, you see, into doing it the wrong way. For example, you can specify title, description, source and a couple other things (ooh this looks like it solves our problem!):
Except...that if you try sending that URL to LinkedIn and your url-encoded URL is longer than approx. 700 characters, the LinkedIn script throws a Javascript error on IE6&7 on Windows XP, only! Because this is a Javascript error on the LinkedIn side, you have zero control over how it can be fixed, and if you are dealing with a dynamic length description or title, or source url, constructing this URL can be extremely problematic.
Ignore LinkedIn's red-herring extra GET parameters, and just specify the url GET parameter. This will cause LinkedIn to ping back on your URL and look for these tags (title, meta description, img...):
  <title>The Title!</title> <meta name="description" content="This is the description of your linkedIn Article!">
If you're having trouble getting the images to work because your page is so cluttered, you can setup your page to skim the browser user-agent and look for 'LinkedInBot', and display an altered form of the webpage for LinkedIn specifically.

By Andrew Both
GREENSBORO, North Carolina, Aug 15 (Reuters) - Former world number two Sergio Garcia says he fully understands why the European Tour is having trouble keeping pace with the richer U.S. circuit, but he does not blame his home tour's leadership.
Some players on the European Tour have become frustrated at what they see as its failure to make the most of its potential, while the eurozone's financial turmoil has led to gaps on the calendar and less prize money than on the PGA Tour.
"We all know how many problems Europe is going through," Spaniard Garcia told Reuters after launching his title defence with a five-under-par 65 in the opening round of the Wyndham Championship on Thursday.
"Obviously we would love to see it growing more but I'm sure (chief executive) George (O'Grady) and his whole team are doing the best they can to make the tour as strong as they can.
"I'm sure it's not their choice to have the situation we have (but) I think the tour is still in good strength and should be okay."
Garcia's comments came in the wake of remarks made recently by fellow European heavyweight Paul Casey, who expressed his own frustration with the European Tour.
"I agree with those people who think we have an unbelievable product, but we are so far from maximising what we have, and we need to freshen things up," said Englishman Casey, who sits on the European Tour's tournament player committee.
"It needs some new energy. This is the time for change as it's a great opportunity we're missing."
Only a few years ago, the European Tour seemed destined to challenge the PGA Tour for prize money as it expanded aggressively around the world, particularly into Asia and the United Arab Emirates.
But its purses remain significantly less, on average, than those available on the PGA Tour, and its fields are considerably weaker, except for a handful of events.
Further compounding the issue, most of Europe's top players, including Garcia and Casey, tend to play more often in the United States than on their 'home' tour.
That disparity led to speculation earlier this week that the PGA Tour might try to take over the European Tour, although both tours have refuted the suggestion.
"Certain news reports have indicated that the PGA Tour has made an offer to acquire the European Tour," PGA Tour commissioner Tim Finchem said in a statement. "Those reports are inaccurate.
"However, as I have stated publicly on several occasions, the integration of professional golf can create additional value for our players, sponsors and fans."
Keith Waters, chief operating officer of the European Tour, said: "The golf market in Europe is significantly smaller than in the United States, hence the European Tour's expansive policies throughout the world over the past 16 years, which includes co-operation with the U.S. PGA Tour in the World Golf Championships arena."

Breaking News
The Green Lantern has been rebooted -- he's young again, and he's gay.
DC Comics just announced which character is coming out of the closet, and it's Alan Scott, aka the Green Lantern.
In his prior life, Green Lantern -- on Earth 2 (in an alternate universe) -- was married with 2 superhero kids. But now he's come back as an unmarried, media mogul who we're sure throws amazing Hollywood parties. He's also a Type-A. Sound like anyone you've heard of???
But here's the thing ... we smell tokenism. Fictional fact is there are more than 7,200 Green Lanterns in DC's comic book world -- so adding ONE gay lantern, in an alternate universe no less, suddenly seems less impressive.
Fun fact: The Green Lantern's Achilles' Heel is wood.
When news broke that a comic book hero would be re-introduced as gay, the organization One Million Moms released a statement saying, "Why do adult gay men need comic superheroes as role models? They don't but do want to indoctrinate impressionable young minds by placing these gay characters on pedestals in a positive light."
In response to that, GLAAD tells TMZ, "The idea that a comic book character will make young people gay is as outlandish as saying it will give them a green power ring and the ability to fly. Even more outlandish is the idea that there are 'one million moms' who believe this hate group's anti-gay nonsense. From Christian churches to sports fields, to now even fictional comic book worlds, our culture overwhelmingly supports gay and lesbian Americans and that's what anti-gay groups like this are working against."

I haven't noticed the ability to do that in the BIOS. Clearly some chipsets could allow you to disable the interrupt since it originates outside to the processor itself, though it has been some time since I've looked at doing that. > However, you will lose most thermal management (including > over-temperature protection) and some chipsets require SMM to work > around hardware bugs.

It is a lot more frequent than that, and a lot longer than that, at least on most modern systems I've worked with. As for the daemons, remember that with a proper scheduler, you will switch straight from an incoming network interrupt to a high priority process that is expecting the incoming packet, and that even works correctly on some (but not all) Linux kernels. A user process cannot take priority over other tasks, at least not without someone being quite deliberate about it. -- Perry E. Metzger perry at piermont.com

- FA Cup
Mansfield cup dream 'stolen' by Suarez
This season, the FA Cup is live on ESPN all the way to the final at Wembley. Click for details on how to subscribe
Mansfield chief executive Carolyn Radford said that she felt as if an FA Cup replay had been "stolen" from her club by Luis Suarez's controversial goal for Liverpool.
Suarez came on as a substitute to score the decisive second goal in his side's 2-1 third-round victory at the One Call Stadium on Sunday, but clearly handled the ball before finishing.
Manager Brendan Rodgers defended the Uruguay international after the match by stating that the handball was unintentional.
But Radford felt that Blue Square Bet Premier side Mansfield, who went into the game 93 league places below their opponents in the football pyramid, were hard done by.
She said: "I've absolutely enjoyed the day but I have to say it is a little bit like it's been stolen from us. "Whether it's deliberate or not, I really do feel that it should be sorted out.
"We are a very good side and we put up a sterling effort. We are very proud of ourselves and it's very unfortunate that referees and officials can't pick up these things.
"It should be clarified and sorted out as soon as possible because obviously it wasn't in our favour and we should be going through to a replay at least."
Mansfield manager Paul Cox and his players were reluctant to criticise Suarez, suggesting that they would have taken such a goal had they scored in similar circumstances.
Striker Matt Green, who scored Mansfield's consolation goal, said: "Goalscorers don't care how it goes in the net. I'm not saying that's the right way to put it in the net. But you claim anything as a striker.
"If it had been at the other end, I think I'd have taken it. But it's gutting to be put out of the FA Cup by something like that against such a big club."
Rodgers, meanwhile, insisted that Suarez had done nothing wrong. He said: "I'm not sure what people want Luis to do in that situation. It's not up to him. The ball has hit him. It's nothing deliberate. That's the job of the officials to make the decision as to whether it's deliberate or not.
"But he's got thick skin. He's had it throughout his career and life in this country as a football player.
"I think people are starting to talk about the ability the boy has. We're talking more and more about that, because he's a brilliant talent."

FOX Business: Capitalism Lives Here
After jumping in a knee-jerk reaction to more Fed easing, the markets pulled back close to the unchanged line as traders considered the effectiveness of the move.

Today's Markets
As of 3:20 p.m. ET, the Dow Jones Industrial Average climbed 15.7 points, or 0.12%, to 13267, the S&P 500 gained 3.7 points, or 0.26%, to 1432 and the Nasdaq Composite dipped 2.3 points, or 0.08%, to 3020.
The Federal Reserve said it will extend its long-term Treasury purchase program after it ends. Initially, the purchases will come at a pace of $45 billion per month. The central bank will also continue purchasing mortgage-backed securities at a clip of $40 billion per month. It also said it will keep short-term interest rates at historic lows as long as the unemployment rate remains above 6.5%. This is the first time the Fed has used an economic instead of date-based trigger in determining policy.
Later in the day, the Fed is set to release its economic forecasts and Chairman Bernanke will hold a press conference.
On the eurozone front, Greece successfully completed a bond buyback process in which it purchased 31.9 billion euro worth of its debt at 33.8 cents to the euro. The move is important for two reasons. First, it helps reduce the country's enormous debt burden. Second, and perhaps more importantly, it likely paves the way for the release of the next aid tranche from international lenders that is critical in staving off a default on Greek debt.
Still, not everything was positive in the eurozone. Industrial output there tumbled 1.4% in October from the month before, compared to expectations of no change.
On the corporate front, DuPont (NYSE:DD) unveiled a $1 billion share repurchase program and said its adjusted 2012 earnings will likely come at the "high range" of its forecast. Shares of the Dow component jumped on the news.
3M (NYSE:MMM) reaffirmed its 2012 outlook at said it expects to earn between $6.70 to $6.95 a share in 2013. Wall Street is expecting 2013 earnings of $6.85 a share.
Meanwhile, the Labor Department said U.S. import prices fell 0.9% in November from October, a bigger drop than the 0.5% expected. Export prices fell 0.7%. Economists were expecting export prices to remain unchanged from October.
Energy futures were broadly higher. The benchmark crude oil contract rose 65 cents, or 0.76%, to $86.44 a barrel. Wholesale New York Harbor gasoline rallied 1% to $2.638 a gallon. In metals, gold tacked on $6.80, or 0.4%, to $1,717 a troy ounce.
Foreign Markets
The Euro Stoxx 50 climbed 0.24% to 2630, the English FTSE 100 rose 0.28% to 5942 and the German DAX gained 0.38% to 7618.
In Asia, the Japanese Nikkei 225 edged up by 9581 and the Chinese Hang Seng jumped 0.8% to 22503.

ADAP Advocacy Association Launches Directory
September 8, 2014
Healthcare of this generation is all about giving the patients the power to choose instead of waiting to be assigned. ADAP Advocacy Association launched a brand new ADAP Directory in an effort to help patients get access to information and resources so that they can keep on living healthy, productive lives. Brandon Macsata, CEO of the ADAP Advocacy Association, says this directory gives the patients control. "The ADAP Directory puts patients in the driver's seat by linking them to the relevant information about all 56 ADAPs, as well as useful resources and tools."
Artist Luke James Discusses the Importance of Health and Love
May 6, 2014
Health messages can sometimes fall on deaf ears. But when an artist sends the message, it can add some serious bump to it and makes a better impression on an audience. At a recent event at The Park on Fourteenth, Grammy-nominated R&B artist Luke James performed songs about love. The event was a fundraiser for the Reed For Hope Foundation, a non-profit organization that raises funds for HIV/AIDS awareness. RFHF teamed up with OraSure Technologies to present selected events that spotlight the importance of knowing your HIV status and getting tested. When it was time to host an event in DC, RFHF founder and CEO Robi Reed tapped Mr. James to come perform some of his hits. After his performance, Luke humbly answered questions about health and HIV among young people in an exclusive interview.
Three Things You Still Need to Know About Sexually Transmitted Diseases
April 18, 2014
April is Sexually Transmitted Disease Awareness month. Many awareness months come and go but this one is particularly interesting because even though most sexually transmitted diseases aren't fatal they tend to add a cloud over the heads of many people due to stigma and ignorance. You don't have to contract one. But if you do, life can still be good. Here are three things you need to know.
How Technology Decreases the Stigma Surrounding STDs
March 7, 2014
Mitchell Kapor once said "Getting information off the Internet is like drinking from a fire hydrant." When you want to know more about a topic, there are so many user-friendly options. There was a time when sexually transmitted diseases were mysterious to the general public. People would discover something unusual on their body, get a diagnosis and medication from a physician, and then go home with just a pamphlet or two about their "disease." There wasn't much concern about whether or not the patient had follow up questions or wanted to talk to someone who had been through the same experience. Most of all, their diagnosis was kept uber quiet for fear of isolation.
Safer Sex Advice From Dr. Rachael Ross
January 21, 2014
Safer sex is everything. It really is. And in the age where people are unknowingly being infected with STDs and HIV, safer sex is the only thing. To prove my point I have enlisted the help of a "sexpert" to explain how safer sex eases the mind and makes intimacy ten times more fun. Enter Dr. Rachael Ross. I call her Ross the Sex Boss in my mind because of her no holds barred, Sistah girl delivery of sexual health education. She's very blunt and direct and that's just what you need in health education. You may have seen her on the television show The Doctors giving advice about a number of health topics (she has a medical degree from Meharry Medical College). She is also a frequent panelist for the Ora Quick "Life. As We Know It" discussion series. Now she is giving advice on this Examiner's page about how to think differently about sex, protection, and how to make life more interesting in the bedroom.
Dating Websites for People Living With STDs: Are They Worth It?
December 19, 2013
So you hear health experts say all the time that knowing your status and disclosure are a few of the best ways to help stop the spread of HIV and other STDs. OK. You get that. What they don't address is how to overcome challenges that may come with having "the talk" with partners.
Three Ways Nelson Mandela Fought AIDS
December 6, 2013
Did you know that Nelson Mandela was, at first, very quiet about AIDS? Yes, Nelson Mandela. The same man who spent 27 years in prison for essentially fighting for justice for the oppressed. But he turned things around as great leaders are known to do. He became a well-known advocate for AIDS causes. Today, as we mourn the passing of Nelson Mandela, the uber advocate, this Examiner reflects on three major ways he waged an international war against AIDS.
Magic Johnson and Friends Discuss Life and HIV
November 25, 2013
Basketball legend and entrepreneur Earvin "Magic" Johnson collaborated with OraSure Technologies and the Reed For Hope Foundation on Tuesday to present "life. as we know it," a forum about HIV and healthy relationships within the African-American community. The panelists included Magic Johnson, reality television star Lala Anthony, author Demetria Lucas, Reverend Touré Roberts from One Church in Los Angeles, and sexologist Rachael Ross, M.D.. The lively and colorful dialog took place at the famed Apollo Theater in Harlem, New York (yes I know this is a D.C. blog. Stay with me on this one). While discussions happen all the time and all over the place, there where four notable points that were brought to the forefront. I call these the takeaways.
How People With HIV Can Use the Affordable Care Act Website
November 5, 2013
A new web portal has just launched to help people with HIV navigate through the new healthcare law. Obamacare and You is an on-line resource dedicated to the specific needs of people with HIV and AIDS looking for health care coverage. Supported by Gilead Sciences, Inc., the site is presented as a part of the Greater Than AIDS initiative in conjunction with Kaiser Family Foundation and the Black AIDS Institute.
Michael Douglas, HPV, and Throat Cancer
June 3, 2013
So Michael Douglas got throat cancer from performing oral sex. Or not. Or maybe. It's debateable right now. The first report revealed that his battle with throat cancer nearly three years ago spurred from possible exposure to human papilloma virus (HPV). He stated in an interview with the Guardian that oral sex caused throat cancer. More recent reports claim that the 68 year-old actor did not say that oral sex caused his cancer specifically but was a potential cause of it. Semantics aside, the mere mention of HPV, cancer, and a famous movie star in the same sentence causesthe media circuit to light up and presents a time for a teachable moment. Now before everyone freaks out and temporarily swears off oral sex, let's examine what HPV is and how it relates to throat cancer.

Whether it's a screaming match with the boss, an accidental "Reply All" or a glaring mistake on a company-wide presentation, workplace blunders happen, but when they do it's how you remedy the situation that determines how it impacts your career.
Continue Reading Below
We've all been there, says Rosemary Haefner, vice president of human resources for CareerBuilder.com. "Bad habits and innocent things can blow out of proportion easily."
When a mistake happens, experts say it is important to fess up quickly and work to fix the problem. To get back on the right path, admit that some things need to change, which may mean working harder to double check work or apologizing for inappropriate behavior, says Haefner. "If you want to enjoy a majority of your time at work, it's important to do these things."
You Got Caught Gossiping….
Gossiping about a coworker can ruin the office dynamic especially if you're venting and it gets back to the person, says Haefner. "You have to have an honest conversation with that person and figure out a solution."
Experts suggest asking a third-party to mediate to help clear the air and keep the discussion focused and productive.
Gossip is part of every work environment and if you have to vent, make sure you trust the person you are talking to and try to focus on finding a solution to the problem, recommends Haefner.
You Offended a Client…
You may not realize your gaffe until the client complains to your supervisors, but it's important to fess up right away and apologize.
If your boss is brought into the situation, Heather Huhman, Glassdoor career and workplace expert recommends apologizing to your boss and working to create a game plan to fix the situation.
"As much as you impress your boss, you have to impress your clients," says Huhman. Apologize to the client and explain how you and your boss plan to move forward with their relationship. If necessary, she also recommends fixing the situation internally by apologizing to coworkers.
You Were Offended by a Unprofessional Colleague…
If someone interrupts or discredits colleagues at a client meeting, he or she probably doesn't realize it, say Huhman. It's up to the person who's offended to have a conversation with the perpetrator.
Talk to your coworker in private and explain how this behavior impacts your work. Don't let emotion drive the conversation, keep the talk focused on concrete facts and how the behavior affects the group, says Huhman.
You Had an Emotional Outburst…
Rants and tears in the office can affect your chances for advancement, according to Amanda Augustine, job search expert at TheLadders. It's important to know your emotional triggers and remove yourself from situations that can lead to an outburst.
Never allow personal issues to impact your work performance and attitude in the office. "You're doing your workplace a disservice by bringing your personal issues to work—whether it's health related or issues with any personal relationships," says Huhman. It's also not appropriate to discuss personal problems with colleagues unless your work environment is open and transparent about those issues.
"Instead of crying on a couch or in the cafeteria, if you have personal problems, know when you need to request a day off to take care of problems," says Augustine.
No matter how bad things get at home or in the office, it is never appropriate to blow up at work, says Augustine. When you feel on the verge of breakdown, walk away and refocus yourself.
"Try to figure what went wrong, why it got to a boiling point and how you can approach that person with a cooler head," says Huhman.
If an outburst or loud argument goes down in front of coworkers, Haefner recommends addressing the bad behavior right away. "There has to be a negotiation—if no one talks about it, it's not a good situation."
Experts recommend sitting down with the other person in a private setting to review what happened and resolve the issue. "These situations aren't about who's right and who's wrong. If you were wrong, point out your faults and mistakes—it's one of the best things you can do in the situation," says Huhman. Stick to the facts during the sit down and don't let emotions steer the conversation.
Once the situation is resolved, move on and don't let it interfere with workflow. "If other people ask, you want to tell them that you were having a discussion and it was resolved," says Augustine.
"You may or may not get over it, just be aware of where those hotspots are," says Haefner. She suggests being mindful of people's personalities and knowing that you have to communicate, but that you won't always get along with everyone.
You Made a Mistake in a Presentation…
When you've made a mistake on a client presentation, own up to the mistake, advises Huhman. "Admit fault—suggest a way to fix the situation and a solution to avoid it in the future."
If you're in the middle of the presentation when you spot a mistake, figuring out whether it's worth bringing up—spelling errors may not be as egregious as writing 100% instead of 10%. "If you sent out a company-wide message that gave out the wrong information, you'll need to re-send the message and highlight the fix. It doesn't hurt to address this with your boss later and apologize."
Turn mistakes into learning experiences to avoid recurrences. "Repeating a mistake is the worst blunder you can make in the workplace," says Huhman. It can show lack of attention to detail and reflect poorly on the quality of your work. "It will look like you don't want to be there and some managers may start looking for your replacement."
"If your boss makes the mistake, you do need to bring it up but in a tactful way," says Huhman. Don't place blame but instead point out the error and why it needs to be corrected. If possible, outline a plan to avoid this in the future, even if that means taking on more work. This could be a great way to manage up and propel your career. "Anytime you can make your boss look like a hero, you then become your boss's hero," says Huhman.

WASHINGTON — The US Air Force awarded Sikorsky and Lockheed Martin a $1.3 billion contract Thursday for the Combat Rescue Helicopter program.
The deal for 112 Sikorsky Black Hawks, outfitted with Lockheed mission equipment, brings to a close a more than decade-long Air Force quest to purchase a replacement for its HH-60G combat search-and-rescue helicopters. The Sikorsky-Lockheed team was the only bidder in the competition.
The contract could be worth as much as $7.9 billion, the Air Force said in a statement. The contract awarded Thursday includes funding for the first four aircraft.
Speaking at a Defense Writers Group breakfast last week, Air Force Secretary Deborah Lee James called the Sikorsky-Lockheed proposal "technically in good shape and was quite a bit below the cost analysis that the Pentagon felt was appropriate. So it appeared to be a very good deal for the taxpayer from a cost perspective."
Gen. Mark Welsh, the Air Force chief of staff, in a statement said: "We are committed to ensuring our airmen are equipped to rescue America's warriors whenever and wherever necessary. This contract secures that mission for many years to come."
The aircraft will be built by Sikorsky in Connecticut and Lockheed will install the mission systems in upstate New York.
"We are honored that the Air Force has selected Sikorsky to develop and build the new Combat Rescue Helicopter," Sikorsky President Mick Maurer said in a statement. "Since 1943, Sikorsky has proudly provided the combat rescue helicopter platform to enable the Air Force to perform one of its most important and sacred missions — bringing our downed service members home safely. I'm tremendously pleased that we will continue to do so for years to come."
"The Combat Rescue Helicopter program will equip service men and women with modernized mission systems and special equipment for the combat rescue mission, which is essential to sustaining the United States Air Force's core service function of personnel recovery," Dale Bennett, executive vice president of Lockheed Martin's Mission Systems and Training, said in a statement. "We are proud to expand our long-standing relationship with the US Air Force and Sikorsky, providing a new aircraft system capable of performing the vital personnel recovery missions, including combat rescue and casualty evacuation."
The contract award is a huge political win for Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and the entire Connecticut congressional delegation, who pressured the Pentagon to allocate funding for the program despite spending cuts across the Pentagon budget.
"These new combat rescue helicopters will play a major role in ensuring that our troops can be evacuated safely from whatever dangerous situation they face, and I am proud that this incredible new aircraft will be produced right here in the Southern Tier," Schumer said in a statement. "This contract is another major win for Tioga County and the entire Southern Tier economy, and I will keep fighting to bring more federal contracts to New York so that we can continue to create good-paying, high-skilled jobs."
While the award is considered a win for the combat search-and-rescue community, it has been criticized by defense companies who have argued the requirements were written for a Black Hawk, hence preventing them from competing.
Decision Making
When James became the Air Force Secretary in December, the service's 2015 budget proposal was all but finalized, except for one big-ticket program: the Combat Rescue Helicopter.
The program had been star-crossed. Over a more than 15-year period, the Air Force unsuccessfully tried to acquire new machines to replace battle-worn HH-60G Pave Hawks. A 2006 deal to buy Boeing Chinooks fell apart due to mistakes made when the Air Force evaluated bids.
Since then, the program was delayed, mainly due to internal Pentagon squabbling. Air Force officials debated the mission requirements and whether the effort should be combined with a separate Air Force helicopter program. Air Force Special Operations Command tried to take over the mission from Air Combat Command, while other services questioned the need for the entire combat search-and-rescue mission.
When all of those issues were finally put to bed, the one-time No. 2 Air Force acquisition priority completely fell off the list. By 2013, the Air Force budget had tightened and sequestration hit the Pentagon.
"[T]he Combat Rescue Helicopter was literally teetering on the brink; would this be included going forward or would it not," James said at a June 18 Defense Writers Group breakfast in Washington.
In January, Congress added hundreds of millions of dollars in the 2014 defense appropriations budget for the program.
"We had the need, we had a proposal on the table, which was a good buy for the taxpayer, we had seed money from the Congress … these were the various factors," James said. "Of course, there was more money that would have to be found and we would have to make tradeoffs in the out years."
Then just days before the Pentagon released it 2015 budget proposal, James took a trip to Moody Air Force Base in southern Georgia, where she visited an Air Force rescue wing.
"I saw the helicopters, I talked to the team on the ground and in the air," she said. "When I came back from that trip, that is when it all solidified in my mind."
The Air Force combat search-and-rescue aircraft and airmen have been continuously deployed since the US went to war in Afghanistan in 2001. Since there are so few aircraft — fewer than 100 that are flyable — the units have been on constant rotations.
Instead of performing their core mission of rescuing downed pilots behind enemy lines, they performed medical evacuation, rescuing wounded US, Afghan and coalition soldiers on the battlefield. But unlike the Army medevac helos, the Air Force Pave Hawks are armed with machine guns, allowing the crews to perform rescue missions in hostile situations.
The crews of pilots and pararescuemen, known as PJs, live by the motto "That Others May Live."
"It's a very sacred mission and the airmen were extremely impressive," James said.
In the end, the program was funded in the Pentagon's 2015 budget proposal. On March 4, just before Maj. Gen. Jim Martin, the US Air Force budget director, walked into the Pentagon briefing room on March 4, an aide slipped him a note.
The paper said that if a reporter asked about the Combat Rescue Helicopter program, say that James just made the decision to keep the program alive. ■

It's this type of pattern (N-to-1 is much worse than 1-to-N) that kills scalability in large config and developpers know that.

Chemistry Nobel Goes to Richard Heck, Ei-ichi Negishi and Akira Suzuki for Technique to Build Complex Molecules
The 2010 Nobel Prize in Chemistry goes to the University of Delaware's Richard Heck, Purdue's Ei-ichi Negishi and Hokkaido University's Akira Suzuki for their work in developing new ways to synthesize complex organic molecules by way of what are called palladium-catalyzed cross-couplings.
Two organic compounds that ordinarily would not readily react with other easily both bond to an atom of palladium. Carbon atoms on the two molecules, now in close proximity, bond to each other, forming a new compound.
Biochemist Lars Thelander at the announcement from the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences: "Palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling has made it possible to synthesize carbon based molecules, for example, new medicines, agricultural chemicals and organic compounds used in the electronics industry."
A prime example is discodermalide, produced naturally by a marine sponge, but in very small quantities. After it was found to have anti-tumor properties, large quantities were able to be made using palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling.

Transfer window closing on Benitez
Rafael Benitez has admitted he does not think Chelsea will give him any more money to spend before the transfer window closes.
Interim Blues boss Benitez confirmed last week he had told owner Roman Abramovich that his squad was not strong enough to cope with the unprecedented fixture pile-up facing them this season but he appears to have given up hope of being allowed to add to the January signing of Demba Ba before Thursday's transfer deadline.
Asked if he anticipated any movement in the final 48 hours of the window, he said: "I don't think so but my job is to improve my squad and manage the situation we have."
Abramovich and the board's reluctance to back Benitez in the transfer market will reinforce the view that he has become a dead man walking at Stamford Bridge just over two months after succeeding Roberto Di Matteo.
It is understood there is currently no prospect of him losing his job before his contract expires this summer but reports persist that the club are already actively discussing replacing him next season.
Benitez shrugged off the speculation, which has included Everton boss David Moyes being linked with his job.
"My position is exactly the same," he said, confirming he had held talks with technical director Michael Emenalo in the wake of Sunday's FA Cup fourth-round draw at Brentford.
"I was speaking about football with Michael Emenalo, as normal. I will try to do my job as well as I can, and try to do my best every game."

Today is Gordon Lightfoot's birthday. The guy is a wonderful songwriter, an old-fashioned carouser who is also an incurable romantic and a pensive kind of man's man.
I first saw Lightfoot perform live in 1970 at Dartmouth's Spaulding Auditorium in the Hopkins Center for the Arts just after he had jumped to Warner Brothers from United Artists and released Sit Down, Young Stranger (the album was later renamed If You Could Read My Mind in honor of the hit the album produced). It was a terrific show with his sidekick Red Shea on lead guitar and a fine bass player backing him. When we saw Lightfoot most recently at the State Theater in Minneapolis a few years ago, he had become something of a shadow of himself.
In 1999 Rhino issued a four-disc box set of Lightfoot's work that it titled Songbook. It covers roughly thirty years and eighty songs. When I went to the cashier to pay for it at the Electric Fetus in Minneapolis — a store that specializes in music way cooler than Lightfoot — the cashier started singing "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" to give me grief. He knew nothing!
The box set is a revelation. Lightfoot was still writing great songs into the '80s. Take a look at the first verse and chorus of "Shadows," a song with a haunting melody from his last Warner Brothers album:
Let me reach out love and touch you,
Let me hold you for awhile.
I've been all around the world —
Oh how I long to see you smile.
There's a shadow on the moon
And the waters here below
Do not shine the way they should
And I love you just in case you didn't know.
Let it go,
Let it happen like it happened once before.
It's a wicked wind
And it chills me to the bone
And if you do not believe me
Come and gaze upon the shadow at your door.
Or this classic story song from Lightfoot's heyday — "Ten Degrees and Getting Colder":
He was standin' by the highway with a sign that just said "Mother"
When he heard a driver comin' 'bout a half a mile away.
Then he held the sign up higher, where no decent soul could miss it.
It was ten degrees or colder down by Boulder dam that day.
He was raised up in Milwaukee — though he never was that famous.
He was just a road musician — to the taverns he would go
Singin' songs about the ramblin', the lovin' girls and gamblin'.
How the world fell on his shoulders back in Boulder I don't know.
It was out in Arizona that he heard the lady listenin'
To each word that he was sayin', to each line that he would write.
So he sat down by her table and they talked about the weather —
Ninety-eight point six and risin' down by Boulder dam that night.
And she told him she would take him for a ride
In the mornin' sun. Back in Boulder he had told her,
"I don't know when I had a better friend."
Now he's traded off his Martin [guitar], but his troubles are not over
For his feet are almost frozen and the sun is sinkin' low.
Won't you listen to me, brother? If you ever loved your mother
Please pull off on the shoulder if you're goin' Milwaukee way.
It's ten degrees and getting colder down by Boulder dam today.
In the booklet that comes with Songbook, Lightfoot annotates every song but one. Many of the songs are explained by reference to an affair that had ended or just begun. Of the eighty-some songs included on Songbook, the only one Lightfoot declined to comment on was "Shadows," but I think both parts of the characteristic explanation apply. It's a song about an old affair that he wants to start up again years later.
In the video below, Alison Krauss and Union Station are joined by guitar virtuoso and Lightfoot fan Tony Rice for a ravishing version of "Shadows." (For Rice's version of the song, backed by some of Nashville's finest musicians, check this.) This performance by Krauss beautifully adorns Lightfoot's reticence regarding the song and pays tribute to Rice as one of the sources of her own musical inspiration.

An Inside Look at Intel and Micron 25nm Flash Memory Production
Our storage guru took a stroll through a state of the art flash memory plant in Lehi, Utah. This plant, dubbed 'IM Flash Technologies', is jointly run by both Intel and Micron. Together they have announced the smallest production transistor process on the planet, and are now in volume production of this new 25nm flash memory. Allyn came back with some sweet pics, so check it out already!Intel and Micron have jointly announced a die shrink of their flash memory. What used to be so-called '2x nm' flash as a future stepping stone is now officially 25nm. This puts the joint effort significantly ahead of the competition in terms of die shrink and capacity. PCPer was invited along with a select group out to Lehi, Utah for an exclusive look at this new technology in the making.
If you look closely in this pic you'll see Troy Winslow of Intel and to the left, the goatee of Hot Hardware's Mathew Miranda.
A close up shot of the new 25nm flash. Each rectangular section is 2GB, adding up to 8GB on a single die!
Read on for several pages of fab tour awesomeness!

Reviewed by Andrea P. (age 9)
I like this book because I like mythology and this book puts mythology and the human world together. I also like this book because it has a lot of adventure and mystery. The book is so good it makes me get locked inside the story and I don't want to get out of the story. This book is not part of a series but the author has written other books. Anther book she has written is called Shadow of the Dragon.
I recommend this book to people who can read big books and like Mythology. I also recommend this book to people who have a lot of time because this book has many pages with many words. Lastly, I think this book is for fourth and fifth grade students.

WorldNetDaily Exclusive
Dig this: Media actually probed other candidates
Divulged personal documents on arrests, surgeries, colleges
President Obama
In the last 18 years, highly personal information has been published about presidential candidates, including divorce and alimony details, drunk driving arrest records, college grades, urinalysis results, prostate cancer surgery – even details about George W. Bush's hemorrhoid troubles.
The media have dredged up medical, military, college and detailed records for Republican and Democratic Party candidates in at least the last five elections. Candidates were subject to intense scrutiny of their health conditions, academic performance and military careers.
However, while such private information about other candidates was divulged, more than 440,000 concerned citizens still have yet to see President Obama present his elusive "long-form" birth certificate and several other documents that remain unreleased or otherwise blocked from the public eye.
As WND has reported, Obama has not released his long-form birth certificate, college transcripts, Harvard Law Review articles, scholarly articles from the University of Chicago, files from his years as an Illinois state senator, Illinois State Bar Association records or his adoption records.

postcards asking for the president's birth certificate documentation
Nearly every candidate since the 1992 election has released detailed medical records. However, Barack Obama, a relatively young candidate who was said to have been in "excellent health," refused to release his own. Instead, he simply provided a six-paragraph note from his physician briefly summarizing 21 years of doctor visits and health information.
While not comprehensive, the following is a list of publicly available documents and personal information the media published on Republican and Democrat candidates Sen. John McCain, George W. Bush, Sen. John Kerry, Al Gore, Bill Clinton and George H.W. Bush:
Sen. John McCain
Medical records: During his first presidential campaign in 1999, Sen. John McCain released 1,500 pages of medical and psychiatric records collected by the Navy. In 2008, McCain allowed reporters to spend three hours sifting through 1,200 pages of health records.
Birth certificate: A purported copy of Sen. McCain's long-form birth certificate was released as a result of Hollander v. McCain, a lawsuit challenging the natural born citizenship status of the then–presidential candidate. The Dallas Morning News also posted a short-form certificate.

Military records: The Navy released John McCain's military record after a Freedom of Information Act request from the Associated Press. The record lists McCain's medals and commendations, including a Silver Star Medal for resisting "extreme mental and physical cruelties" inflicted upon him after he was taken prisoner in October 1967 by the North Vietnamese.
Naval Academy: The records released to the Associated Press included details about McCain's years at the U.S. Naval Academy from 1954 to 1958. According to his own 1999 memoir, "Faith of My Fathers," he graduated 894th out of 899 in June 1958.
"My GPA earned me fifth-from-the-bottom-of-my-class status, but since that was in the Coolidge administration, it was a different measurement," McCain joked during a college appearance. "But I can assure you that by today's standards it would be barely passing."
Thesis: The New York Times released a copy of John McCain's 1974 thesis at the National War College. Titled "The Code of Conduct and the Vietnam Prisoners of War," it was written about a year after his release from a North Vietnamese prison camp.

Divorce: The Associated Press thoroughly examined records from Sen. John McCain's divorce from his first wife, Carol Shepp, a model from Philadelphia. The news agency listed a detailed summary of the settlement, revealing that McCain gave up two homes and agreed to pay $1,625 a month in alimony and child support. According to the report, he maintained insurance policies worth $64,000 with their children as beneficiaries, agreed to pay for their daughter's college education and paid $3,005 in joint debts. Carol McCain got the family's Audi, while McCain kept a Datsun 810 and personal belongings. McCain also agreed to provide insurance or pay for medical treatment for his ex-wife.
Passport: John McCain has not released his passport files, documents that contain sensitive personal information including place and date of birth, Social Security number, parent citizenship information, marital status and travel records. However, his files were improperly accessed along with then-Sens. Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton in early 2008.
McCain's office released a statement saying: "The U.S. government has a responsibility to respect the privacy of all Americans. It appears that privacy was breached and I expect a thorough review and a change in procedures as necessary to ensure the privacy of all passport files."
According to the State Department, passport files are protected by the Privacy Act of 1974, (5 USC 552(a)). Third-party requests for passport files must be accompanied with a notarized consent from the owner of the passport records, proof of guardianship, a death certificate or a court order signed by a judge of "competent jurisdiction requesting the Department of State to release passport records."
George W. Bush
Medical records: President George W. Bush allowed the media to view about 400 pages of personal medical information in 2000 and again in 2004.
Birth certificate: While the Texas State Library and Archives Commission lists a birth certificate for George W. Bush among its records, the document has not been posted online.

Military and personal records: The White House released Bush's complete military records in 2004. News reporters lined up at the White House press office as workers distributed copies of his files, the New York Times reported. Those documents included the following personal information:
- Bush had his tonsils removed when he was a young boy and suffered from appendicitis at the age of 10
- At 14, he had surgery to remove a cyst from his chest.
- When he applied for the National Guard, he had a hemorrhoid
- Bush had two "negligent collisions" in the month after he turned 16 in July 1962
- He was issued two speeding tickets in the summer of 1964 and was fined $10 each
- He was charged with a misdemeanor for a Yale prank in 1966, but it was later dropped
- Bush received a score of 25 on his January 1968 pilot aptitude test. A score of 95 percent is considered "officer quality."
- He obtained a secret security clearance during his service
George W. Bush's record of service in the National Guard, including payroll and personnel reports, flight records and photos, is available through the Department of Defense.
George W. Bush arrest record
Arrest record: The media also released copies of Bush's arrest record, including one 1976 incident in which he was charged for driving under the influence of alcohol when he was 30 years old. Reports included a summary of his DUI conviction from the Maine Department of Motor Vehicles.
College records: Bush's campaign posted a copy of his Yale transcript online. The Washington Post obtained his SAT scores and revealed that he earned a 1206 on the college admissions test. Bush's lowest grades were a 70 (of 100) in Sociology and a 71 in Economics, while his highest scores were in history and Japanese.

Sen. John Kerry

Medical records: After initial reluctance, Sen. John Kerry allowed the Navy to release his full medical records in 2004.
College records: In June 2005, the Boston Globe divulged Kerry's transcript information from his undergraduate record at Yale. It revealed that Kerry had a cumulative grade average of 76 over four years in school. His freshman year average was 71 and his senior year average was 81.
Military records: During the 2004 election, Kerry posted his military records at his website. On May 20, 2005, he waived privacy restrictions and authorized release of his full military records.
Divorce records: John Kerry and Julia Stimson Thorne, Kerry's first wife, were separated in 1982 and divorced in July 25, 1988. The Associated Press revealed details from records of John and Julia's "no fault" divorce, citing generic grounds of "irretrievable breakdown of the marriage."
Al Gore

Medical records: In 1999, Al Gore released medical records revealing "mildly elevated" cholesterol levels and removal of skin cancer from his forehead in 1997. The records were compiled after a complete physical examination by several military physicians.
Military records: Gore enlisted in the Army in Newark, N.J., in August 1969. He was stationed in Fort Rucker as a public affairs officer. At the end of 1970, Gore went to Vietnam as a military journalist assigned to the 20th Engineer Brigade at Bien Hoa, 20 miles northeast of Saigon. He applied for discharge and exited the Army in May 1971. His discharge paperwork is not available online.
College records: The Washington Post obtained Al Gore's college transcripts and test scores from St. Albans high school, Vanderbilt University's divinity and law schools and Harvard University. It outlined his scores in a March 19, 2000, article titled, "Gore's grades belie image of studiousness." The newspaper revealed Gore earned a total of 1355 points of 1600 on the SAT college admissions test. Gore's lowest grade was a D in natural sciences. His high grades were an A in French and English, an A in visual and environmental studies and an A- in social relations.
WND was unable to find an online copy of Gore's 84-page senior thesis titled, "The Impact of Television on the Conduct of the Presidency, 1947-1969." However, the New York Times outlined his argument in a July 16 article.
Bill Clinton
Medical records: Former President Bill Clinton released only summaries of his annual physical examinations, including his cholesterol count, his pulse rate, his blood pressure and his hemoglobin and white blood cell and platelet count. According to the New York Times, then–White House spokesman Michael D. McCurry said he saw "no reason" not to disclose more information, "given the President's overall health."
College records: Clinton majored in international affairs at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C., and was awarded a Rhodes Scholarship to the University of Oxford in England. He received a law degree from Yale University in 1973, and entered politics in Arkansas. While his scores were presumably high, copies of his transcripts are not available online.

Passport: Bill Clinton did not release his passport files, documents that contain sensitive personal information including place and date of birth, Social Security number, parent citizenship information, marital status and travel records. However, his files were breached during an improper search by State Department officials in 1992.
Bob Dole

Medical records: In July 1995, presidential candidate Robert Dole released a detailed summary of his medical records. His doctor told the media that he had received serious wounds in World War II that paralyzed his right arm and led to the removal of one kidney. He also underwent surgery in 1991 for prostate cancer. He made all of his medical records public in 1996 and demanded that Bill Clinton do the same.
Military records: Dole's campaign released details about his military service in an entry titled, "World War II: Heroism and Tragedy" on its website. A retired Central Intelligence Agency officer scrutinized his war record in a profile published by The Nation in August 1996.
College records: The Robert J. Dole Institute of Politics houses Dole's official records, personal letters and other items relating to Dole's college years, his military service, and his legal career as Russell County, Kan., attorney and lawyer in private practice, memos, reports, newsletters, speeches, casework, statements, testimony, campaign and Republican Party records. Copies of Dole's official transcripts are not available online.
George H.W. Bush
Medical records: George H.W. Bush released medical records during his campaign and yearly during his presidency, revealing he had mild degenerative osteoarthritis in his hips, normal X-rays, EKG, urinalysis and blood work.
George H.W. Bush's college transcripts and military records are not available online.
There has been a great deal of debate about whether candidates should be required to release personal records, including medical documents, when they run for president. During the most recent election, Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., made the following statement about transparency:
"When you're running for president, everything should be public – including your full medical records. I believe in a right to privacy. But when you're running for president, which is such an important job, the need of the public to know supersedes it."
A video of Schumer's comment can be seen below:
'Transparency' in the Obama administration
While most candidates have not been asked to publicly display their long-form birth certificates before elections, the document received widespread publicity during the 2008 election when questions about natural born citizenship status of both major party candidates was called into question.
The Constitution, Article 2, Section 1,
states, "No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United
States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to
the Office of President."
In May 2008, the Senate unanimously declared McCain a natural born citizen, eligible to run for president. However, President Obama has still not provided simple, incontrovertible proof of his exact birthplace. That information would be included on his long-form, hospital-generated
birth certificate which Obama has steadfastly refused to release amid a
flurry of conflicting reports.
Some of the lawsuits question whether he was actually
born in Hawaii, as he insists. If he was born out of the country, Obama's
American mother, the suits contend, was too young at the time of his birth to
confer American citizenship to her son under the law at the time.
Other challenges have focused on Obama's citizenship
through his father, a Kenyan subject to the jurisdiction of the United Kingdom
at the time of his birth, thus making him a dual citizen. The cases contend the
framers of the Constitution excluded dual citizens from qualifying as natural
Complicating the situation is Obama's decision to spend
sums estimated in the hundreds of thousands of dollars to avoid releasing a
state birth certificate that would put to rest all of the questions.
The key question in the dispute also is being raised on billboards nationwide.
"Where's The Birth Certificate?" billboard in
The billboard campaign follows an ongoing petition
campaign launched several months ago by WND Editor and Chief Executive
Officer Joseph Farah.
They are intended to raise public awareness of the fact
that Obama has never released the standard "long-form" birth certificate that
would show which hospital he was born in, the attending physician and establish
that he truly was born in Hawaii, as his autobiography maintains.
Note: Members of the news media wishing to interview Joe Kovacs, Joseph Farah, Jerome
Corsi, Les Kinsolving, Chelsea Schilling or Bob Unruh on this issue, please contact WND.
