Qualify for Veterans Benefits by Correcting in Your Military Record
If an error in your military record makes you ineligible for a veterans benefit, then fix the error and qualify for the veterans benefits you deserve. Perhaps DD Form 214 doesn't include all of your active-duty service or maybe it's missing a critical medal, such as the Purple Heart. If you fix such errors, you may qualify for a benefit you didn't qualify before.
When you're getting ready to leave the military, one of the final out-processing actions you accomplish is to sit down with a military personnel clerk and go over your DD Form 214 in detail. You're supposed to make sure everything is correct before you sign it.
However, we all know how that goes. You've got a thousand things on your mind, and you're in the middle of going to about 2 million out-processing appointments. It's easy to miss something, especially if you're not thinking about possible veterans benefits in the future.
Each service has its own Board for Correction of Military Records (BCMR) that handles the correction of records. The Navy establishes the board for sailors and Marines. Board members are high-ranking civilian employees of the service and are assigned to the board by the secretary of the service. Board members are assigned to three-person panels that decide the cases.
Grounds for requesting a change to your military service record
To apply for a change of your military record, you must convince the board that the information in your record is in error or that it has resulted in an injustice.
In error is pretty obvious. It simply means the information in your record isn't correct. For example, you performed 26 months of active duty, but your record shows you performed only 20 months.
An example of an injustice would be if there were a letter of reprimand or a negative performance report in your record that was written by a military supervisor who clearly was out to get you.
You should submit your request within three years of discovering, or reasonably could have discovered, the error or injustice. The boards review the merits of untimely applications. If the board finds your case to be meritorious, it can waive the timeliness in the interest of justice. You shouldn't assume, however, that a waiver will be granted.
Required paperwork for changing your military service record
You submit your request by using DD Form 149, Application for Correction of Military Record. This form is available from VA regional offices and online at the Department of Defense's Information Management Division. Mail the completed application to the appropriate board address listed on the second page of the form.
You should be very careful when you complete this form. Attach copies of statements or records that are relevant to your case. For example, if your DD Form 214 includes an error concerning your active-duty service time, you'd want to submit copies of your military orders placing you on active duty.
Your own statement is important. Begin with item 9 of DD Form 149 and continue to item 17, if necessary. You may also put your statement on plain paper and attach it to the form. Limit your statement to no more than 25 pages. Explain what happened and why it is an error or injustice in simple, direct terms.
Normally, the best evidence is statements from people who have direct knowledge of or involvement with the situation. For example, you can submit statements from people in your rating chain if you're contesting a performance report. Another example would be a statement from the person who counseled you if you are alleging improper counseling.
The board will correct your military record only if you can prove that you're the victim of error or injustice. This decision is made solely on the evidence you provide. You can't simply include witnesses' names. The board won't contact them. You need to obtain and provide the statements yourself.
Advisory opinions on your military service record
After your application is received, one or more offices within your military service (Judge Advocate General's office, military hospital, personnel center, and so on) will prepare an advisory opinion on your case. The advisory opinion is sent to the board with your case file. If the advisory opinion recommends denial of your request, the board will send it to you for comment.
The advisory opinion is only a recommendation. The board actually makes the decision in your case.
You have 30 days to submit your comments on the advisory opinion. You may request an additional 30 days if you need it. The board usually grants reasonable requests for additional time.
It may be unnecessary for you to comment on the advisory opinion. If you have nothing further to say, don't bother to respond. Failure to comment on an advisory opinion doesn't mean you agree, nor does it prevent a full and fair consideration of your application.
If the board denies your request, there is no appeal, except if you decide to sue the Department of Defense in federal court. However, if you provide newly discovered relevant evidence that you didn't know about when you filed your original application, the board may agree to reconsider your case.

I hope I got your meaning right. This is what I'd do:
Start by using the usual "remaster" utility?
In the main menu it's under:
Menu -> Configs -> Remaster Puppy (the wording might be slightly different from one Puppy to the next).
The various software(s) your folders contain will be "remixed" in a regular single sfs and then made up into an iso file if you like.

I use the method that Flash showed us:
Boot with the Puppy DVD you wish to clone, then,
Go to Menu>Multimedia>BurnIso2cd
Then, put a new DVD in the burner, and burn the fresh DVD with the ISO used to make your original disc.
Now, with the freshly burned DVD still in the drive, click on the Save icon on your desktop. Puppy will then burn all of your save folders into one new save folder on the new disc. When it is used for booting, you will have exactly the same Puppy system running with all of your saved files, etc.
Take out the new DVD, put in another blank DVD, and repeat the above steps as many times as you like.

Subject description: clone vs remaster
hi fresnofred
Cloning via the swap-disc method is fine for personal use.
If you plan to redistribute your pup, it may be better to remaster (this usually takes out all your personal info with remaster2 and leaves all added packages in the new iso as a 'fresh' pup). You
want to 'preset' some configs, so examine the given /tmp/root and modify if desired. Make it generic hardware-wise since you'll probably have a variety of machines being redistributed to. Give it a test run on another computer to see if it works as expected..
hth & good luck remastering

Post subject: Remaster has presented troublesome issues in its use in PUPs
This problem (and it is a problem) arises from no clear directions for generating an ISO from your running system.
Don't get me wrong, as several of the community members have made good contributions, but, our problems exist in a clear definition/steps/guides/documentation of what we will start with (including how the system is booted) to what steps are necessary for a "recreation" of Puppy into an all-inclusive DVD.
Running the "remaster" tool (as I reported in another thread before) does NOT recreate the system via the 20-30 screens that emerge as you try to "guess" the steps to take from one screen to another.
Further, I truly understand that the creator of some of the tools have taken into account the options they provide, but, this tool use is built on their experience versus requesting user input for a remaster tool.
I must say, that I have not used all the tools that are present in Puppyland, but, for the couple I have, I have NOT had any initial success in OOTB use of the tools.
Further, in the layout of the tool(s) I have used, I undrestand why so many have had trouble in their use.
I propose that someone in the community stop generating this unforgiving wizard approach and adopt a forms approach. An example of a forms approach is what BarryK and Shinobar have done with FirstRUN. Here they present the user with all of the questions positioned in a logical form. The user answers all appropriate questions and clicks a single button to have the total process complete applicable processing to user satisfaction.
Maybe others who have developed forms based applications understand the advantage of such an approach. This is why software development progressed from the DOS-based one question at a time wizard to the Windows-based forms approach in the Microsoft and Apple world.
Not being a Linux developer, I could be speaking out of turn, because the development tools that Puppy is standardize on may be the reason why developers in Puppy have little options except to only develop DOS-like approach in the Remaster tool we have.
I wish I could offer some clear crisp direction to this, but each time I think I've got it, I find how wrong I was.
I do have a document showing the 20-odd screens using a remaster tool in one of the distros. But, in reviewing what I thought was a good ISO, I find that SAMBA will not start in the remaster ISO, where is operates properly in the original DVD with its Save-Session. This is just one bad example of several others I have done of which some I've written about.
We need a user friendly document AND we need a simple user approach.
Example: Since many have asked in the past about remastering a running system, why not have a single screen which says If you want REMASTER to recreate your running system as it stands, simple put in the DVD or point me to the ISO, and I will generate your system with ALL OF ITS FILES into a single ISO for you....takes about 30 minutes!" <=== How about that for a Remaster of a running system?
I really don't want to give up on a simple idea for something that (for obvious reason) is complicated. But, I view that if the running system has everything (all necessary files, applications, subsystems, and system needs) why must the remaster tool presented be so unforgiving and so "un-intuitive".
If anyone knows of such a simple Puppy tool, please, please share it with the rest of us. Further, if someone has a "Please read this if you want to remaster" which has good clear steps for us to follow, please share that too. For me, a guide or a clear form, either can be extremely useful. If we have a form somewhere, I will volunteer to collaborate and write a simple guide

Oh, sorry. I may have got this confused with another thread. I thought you were talking about making a multiboot cd, with a choice of more than one distro on it.

For those of you who read yesterday's article, you know what a mess our food supply has become.
In the last eight years, the Food and Drug Administration, charged with safeguarding the health of our nation's 300 million eaters, has not only seen its budget decline but has also seen its staffing levels fall behind its workload.
From 2003 to 2006, the number of food safety inspections conducted by the agency dropped by 47 percent, leading its own Science Board, chaired by Barbara McNeil, M.D., Ph.D., head of the Department of Health Policy at Harvard Medical School and a radiologist at the Brigham and Women's in Boston, to declare that the agency could "no longer fulfill its mission without substantial and sustained additional appropriations."
In "an alarming report," the New York Times stated that the FDA had also declared that "American lives at risk" and that the FDA lacks resources and "can no longer ensure the safety of the food supply."
And I thought all I had to worry about was the declining stock market and sick kids.
As I dug into additional research from organizations like the Cato Institute, the Environmental Working Group and the Royal Society of Chemistry, I learned that a lot of the scientific data highlighted in the press has been funded by the food industry and propagated by groups with legitimate sounding names like the American Council on Science and Health. I also learned that in the last ten years, our food supply had been chemically engineered in order to enhance product shelf life, productivity and profitability of food corporations.
But if you want to learn what the USDA has to say about all of this, I invite you to join us tomorrow here at www.drgreene.com to learn more!

I am not sure how appropriate this question is for MO. If it is not, I apologize in advance but I could not resist asking it and if by any chance I get some interesting answers, it will for sure be very useful to keep my students excited about mathematics and physics as September arrives.
We all know very well that $\pi$ (the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter in Euclidean space) is irrational and even transcendental. These are some of the famous results in all mathematics.
So I was wondering what will go wrong if $\pi$ was just an integer number?
Are there important theorems that are based on the fact that it is actually irrational and/or transcendental?

David92682 necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 141 diseños de 25 diseñadores freelance.
My name is David Pedersen, I am involved with commercial and residential property development.
The "sell2me" concept is a new way of buying and leasing residential and commercial property. We are changing the way people will be thinking about Real Estate.
This will be a fresh new approach and as such we are looking for a clean clever design the makes people think about who we are and what we have to offer.
Our company is new and we are looking at taking our innovative way of dealing with Real Estate to a global market who is ready for change. Were doing this because we want to put the control of the real estate transaction and searching function back in the hands of the buyers not in the hands of real estate brokers.
Our Target audience is people from all walks of life who need a roof over their head (I think that is every body) and have access to a computer and the web. We all have a shelter need whether you are renting/leasing accommodation or you want to own it.
People want to be engaged in the process of buying/renting a home, they want the market to come to them and show them what is available, currently people who are looking for property have to actively go out and look. People who are selling/leasing sit back and let the brokers do the work.
We want to give the power back to the buyers let them control the process.
- Needs to be fresh
- Warm and inviting but still trustworthy. People need to feel that they are welcome and are in good hands, and are not going to find our business complicated. Trust is a big part of the real estate transaction market.
- Want to portray credibility. Real Estate will be most peoples single biggest transaction in their lives, they need to know that when they come to us we are not a fly by night business.
- Because we are a startup need to be in step with current trends. Modern, Modern, Modern.... this is innovative business therefore lets have an innovative logo.
- Incorporate the words "Where the market comes to you" as our byline.
- No gimmicks.

"Teaching history and teaching students how to be historians is interwoven."
Ken Slepyan wants his students to become historians, not just experts on the most prominent names and dates of history. He believes that will make them more self-aware and better contributors to society.
For Slepyan, becoming a historian starts with empathy. "Good historians can put themselves in other people's shoes," he says.
But as a historian of World War II, he knows how difficult that can be. "I have to be able to see through the eyes of the Nazi leadership. I need to be able to figure out how Stalin would see the war. That's not easy.
"Seeing through multiple perspectives is important not because one agrees or sympathizes with these positions but because without it, it is very difficult to understand historical protagonists and the reasons why they did what they did. I emphasize to students that understanding is not the same as justifying."
This ability to see multiple perspectives is a skill that all students—and all citizens—need to develop, regardless of their major or their ultimate profession.
"In the real world, it's critical to see different points of view. Not to agree with them or to justify them, but to see from other people's perspectives so we can collaborate and solve problems."
Historians also need to be able to evaluate and judge what makes credible evidence. To teach that skill, Slepyan directs his students' attention inward, to understand who they are.
"Historians must be reflective about who they are in the world and how that shapes how they see history," Slepyan says. So he asks his historians-in-training, "Are you interpreting evidence in a particular way because of a certain social, racial, gender, or religious background?"
Slepyan argues that a historian's ability to evaluate evidence directly correlates with how history is documented.
"Evidence usually comes from written sources. In the course of history only a select group could write, narrowing the information we have to privileged, white, male property owners. Think about how many people are not represented by this. That's the history we've lost. Students quickly understand the limitations of the evidence we have."
To address this gap, Slepyan teaches students how to uncover undocumented or restricted historical information. Documents such as baptism records, church registries, and wills give information on family size and property ownership, which can help describe the life experience of marginalized populations.
Slepyan has a knack for uncovering untold stories. When researching his book Stalin's Guerillas about the Soviet partisan movement in WWII, he arrived in the former Soviet Union just after the 1991 coup. Because of his fortuitous timing, he was one of the first historians with unlimited access to formerly restricted archives.
Slepyan uses his research as "fuel" for the classroom. "I am very happy to be at an institution where I can focus on teaching," he says. His enthusiasm for learning is contagious. "When I'm excited, they're excited."
Away from campus, "history is in the house." Slepyan and his wife, Karen Petrone, chair of the University of Kentucky history department, love to talk about history over dinner, much to their daughters' dismay. Slepyan makes it up to them by being the best soccer dad he can, chauffeuring them to their games. A former marathoner, Slepyan still averages 30 miles a week on the trails.

Sequencing Projects Offer Renewed Hope for Cancer Researchers
Sequencing Projects Offer Renewed Hope for Cancer Researchers
Cancer is a formidable illness. The World Health Organization predicts that it may overtake heart disease as the number one killer of humans by 2010. Despite this grim forecast, there is renewed hope in the cancer research community from early results of cancer genome sequencing projects targeting brain, lung and leukemia that have provided the most comprehensive look yet of the genetic glitches responsible for these deadly diseases.
Cancer is a genetic disease; it is caused by mistakes accumulated in genes over a person's lifetime. These mistakes, or mutations, disrupt healthy cells turning them into tumor cells that can quickly grow out of control. Researchers, equipped with sequencing technologies and new analytic tools only recently up to the task, are now able to sequence a long list of suspected genes and even entire genomes of cancerous tissue and compare it to healthy tissue to reveal mistakes in the DNA. Researchers believe this information can be exploited to design new and improved diagnostics and treatments for many cancers.
In the last six months, projects supported in part by the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI) have published landmark papers detailing the genetic landscapes of the most common forms of brain cancer (glioblastoma) from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA), in partnership with the National Cancer Institute, and lung cancer (lung adenocarcinoma) from the Tumor Sequencing Project. Furthermore, a research team led by the Genome Sequencing Center at Washington University in St. Louis, one of NHGRI's major sequencing centers, made a major breakthrough by using next-generation sequencing technologies to sequence the entire genome of a cancer patient. The patient had died of acute myeloid leukemia (AML).
These studies confirmed many genetic mutations already known to play a role in cancer. More importantly, they also identified a number of human genes that no one previously suspected would be involved in each of the deadly cancers.
One particularly exciting finding with the potential for rapid clinical impact centers on glioblastoma (GBM) and the MGMT gene. Physicians already know that GBM patients whose tumors have an inactivated, or methylated, MGMT gene respond better to temozolomide, an alkylating chemotherapy drug. By integrating methylation and sequencing data with clinical information about sample donors, the TCGA multi-dimensional analysis found that in patients with MGMT methylation, alkylating therapy may lead to mutations in genes that are essential for DNA repair, commonly known as mismatch repair genes. Such mutations then lead to the subsequent emergence of recurrent tumors that contain an unusually high number of DNA mutations, and that may be resistant to chemotherapy treatment.
If follow-up studies confirm such a mechanism, researchers say first- or second-line treatments for such GBM patients may involve therapies designed to target the results of combined loss of MGMT and mismatch-repair deficiency. The new findings also may help clinical researchers figure out the best ways to combine alkylating chemotherapy drugs with the next generation of targeted therapeutics. After identifying the many complex genetic mutations, each of the project teams proceeded to examine their impact on biological pathways to determine those most crucial in each cancer. A biological pathway is usually defined as a series of chemical actions within a cell that are mediated by enzymes in some sequence of chemical reactions that convert one biological molecule into another. Enzyme production and function are controlled by genes, whether the enzyme is made from protein or RNA, the chemical cousin of DNA.
Biological pathways also can be viewed more broadly as any network of interconnected chemical reactions carried out by any number of biological components in the human body, including individual genes, molecules, cells and entire organs. When something goes wrong in a biological pathway, it can lead to a disease.
While there are many genetic mutations involved in cancer, possibly thousands of mutations in hundreds of genes, researchers have found that cancer's genetic complexity can be reduced by looking at the affected biological pathways. For drug developers, this could be good news. Rather than targeting dozens of genes, cancer treatments could instead focus on fewer biological pathways. Imagine a hockey goalie attempting to block multiple shots going into the net. If the goalie skates out to block each individual shot, chances are the other shots will go in. Instead, the goalie could feasibly block more shots by standing at the critical spot in front of the net where all the shots were bound to intersect. While no cancer drugs have been developed to date that focus exclusively on pathways, this promising strategy is now being pursued by researchers.
Knowing which pathways are disrupted in each tumor subtype will result in customized treatments in the future for cancer patients, says Brad Ozenberger, Ph.D., a member of the TCGA project team. For instance, three interconnected pathways were found to be disrupted in the brain tumors, suggesting a combination of drugs targeting all three pathways may present a successful treatment strategy for some patients.
The pathway research also revealed some commonality among different cancers that could open the door to treatments already being used for other cancers. For example, chemotherapy drugs known to inhibit the kinase insert domain receptor (KDR), such as sorafenib and sunitinib which are used to treat kidney cancers, might be tested in the relatively small percentage of lung adenocarcinoma patients whose tumors have mutations that activate the KDR gene.
It will now fall to laboratory scientists to turn this important information into new life-saving therapies and diagnostics for cancer. For example, researchers in NHGRI's Division of Intramural Research (DIR) have already started actively looking at biological pathways involved in many cancers to uncover clues that might contribute to the development of new diagnostics and therapies for improving patient survival.
For example, Yardena Samuels, Ph.D., an investigator in DIR's Cancer Genetics Branch, is using DNA sequencing technologies and whole-genome genotyping to identify novel mutations in gene families that regulate signal transduction (a type of biological pathway) in a deadly type of skin cancer, late-stage cutaneous melanoma. Once novel mutations are identified, the Samuels' lab evaluates the functional, biochemical and clinical aspects of the most highly mutated gene members. The ultimate goal is to provide doctors at the NIH Clinical Center with information they can use to tailor therapy to an individual cancer patient's genetic profile.
Dr. Samuels's work examines cancer on a smaller scale than TCGA, but has uncovered important and complementary clues. She also believes that her research would benefit from a cancer sequencing project targeting a large number of melanoma tumors, potentially uncovering even more information that could be turned into the next breakthrough treatment.
As genome sequencing and other technology costs decline and analytical tools improve, more and more cancer genomes will be studied to provide valuable data to scientists like Dr. Samuels. In fact, Dr. Ozenberger predicts that cancer genome projects will soon shift to sequencing whole genomes similar to the AML cancer patient's genome, rather than being limited to just targeting individual genes. Researchers believe as they sequence additional cancer genomes they'll find that various cancers share common genetic characteristics - knowledge that will improve the ability of researchers and doctors to more efficiently diagnose and treat cancer in the future.
In addition to brain cancer, the TCGA is also studying ovarian and squamous cell lung cancer. TCGA plans to expand the pilot project to provide genomes of more than 20 different cancers beginning in 2009.
In addition, the International Cancer Genome Consortium recently announced at least eight cancer genome projects being undertaken by its members including pancreatic, stomach, liver and breast cancers.
More information is available about TCGA at The Cancer Genome Atlas.

Longer jail sentence for man who raped child
The Northern Territory Court of Criminal Appeal has increased the jail sentence of a man convicted of sexually assaulting a child.
In the Supreme Court last year, the man was sentenced to eight years in prison, with a non-parole period of five years, for raping a three-year-old girl at Tennant Creek in 2011.
The Director of Public Prosecutions appealed the sentence, saying it was manifestly inadequate.
The Court of Criminal Appeal heard the 23-year-old man had a history of abusing children.
Psychologists' reports found he had "an alarming lack of insight into his offending".
Justices Dean Mildren, Jenny Blockland and Judith Kelly this week allowed the appeal and increased the man's sentence to 11 years.
He will be eligible for parole in eight years.

Frederic Marlett Bell-Smith
Canadian (born in England), 1846–1923
Rocky Mountain Scene, 1898
oil on paperboard
20.4 x 27.1 cm
Collection of the Winnipeg Art Gallery; Gift of Mr. and Mrs. Walter Jones in memory of her uncle, Mr. Michael Pelechaty
Painting, Canadian Historical (1800-1910)
After studying art in London, England, Frederick Bell-Smith settled with his family in Montreal in 1867. Initially employed by photography studios and as an art instructor, by the mid-1880s Bell-Smith was making a living in Ontario from the sale of his work. Enterprising and ambitious, he was a founding member of several Canadian artist groups. He was equally adept with oil and watercolour, and in representing a variety of subjects including portraits and cityscapes. In 1895 he was granted a private studio sitting from Queen Victoria and returned to London, later travelling to Paris for further study the following year. Bell-Smith is perhaps best known for his photographically inspired paintings of various western Canadian natural landmarks, including the Selkirk mountain range in British Columbia, which he painted while travelling on the Canadian Pacific Railway in the 1880s and 1890s.

Ovulation Science, the Electrolyte Method and Ovacue
Patented method -- Proven results
In studies overseen by the National Institutes of Health, Ovacue products using Zetek's patented Electrolyte Method? have been shown to predict ovulation with 98% accuracy.
You need advance notice
Release of the ovum or egg is called ovulation. Once the egg is released from the ovary and matures in the fallopian tubes, it will survive and be able to be fertilized for a very short time, at most about 24 hours and as a little as 8 hours. The other half of the conception process is the spermatozoa (sperm). Healthy sperm can fertilize an egg for about 48 hours or more after their deposit in the woman. Sperm requires up to 24 hours to reach the egg.
It takes a woman's body several days to prepare for ovulation. This process is managed by complex interaction of hormones. About a week before ovulation, a threshold of increasing amounts of the hormone estrogen is reached. At this time, one ovum is selected from among the many available in either of the two ovaries. This one ovum begins to grow and the uterus begins to be prepared to receive a possibly fertilized egg.
At the same time, other hormones are changing the amounts of minerals like sodium and potassium (electrolytes) that are kept or discarded by the body. This is what produces the Cue Peak , a high point in the Cue salivary readings of electrolytes.
Why salivary electrolyte readings are better than urine LH
A few days after the Cue Peak, the luteinizing hormone (LH) in the blood increases and decreases very sharply over a period of 24 hours (the LH peak). LH is the hormone that triggers the release of the ovum from the ovary. The egg is released within 24 hours after the LH is at its highest in the blood.
Some time (as much as 12 hours) after the peak of LH in the blood, LH is also present in the urine. It is this increasing concentration of urine LH that can be detected by the different brands of urine-based ovulation predictors . Prediction using this method depends on the exact relationships between the time of the highest blood LH, the time the urine stick begins to see the LH, and the time of the measurement. At best, the time between the urine signal and actual ovulation cannot be more than 24 hours in advance. At worst, it is seen only after ovulation has already occurred, offering no chance of conception for the current cycle.

(ABC News) -- The only minority on the all-female jury that voted to acquit George Zimmerman said today that Zimmerman "got away with murder" for killing Trayvon Martin and feels she owes an apology Martin's parents.
"You can't put the man in jail even though in our hearts we felt he was guilty," said the woman who was identified only as Juror B29 during the trial. "But we had to grab our hearts and put it aside and look at the evidence."
She said the jury was following Florida law and the evidence, she said, did not prove murder.
Watch More of the Interview Thursday on "World News" at 6:30 p.m. ET and on "Nightline" at 12:35 a.m. ET, and then on Friday on "Good Morning America" at 7 a.m. ET
The court had sealed the jurors' identities during the trial and still hasn't lifted the order, but Juror B29 edged out of the shadows in an exclusive interview with "Good Morning America" anchor Robin Roberts. She allowed her face to be shown, but -- concerned for her safety -- used only a first name of Maddy.
The nursing assistant and mother of eight children was selected as a juror five months after she had moved to Seminole County, Fla., from Chicago.
Despite the prosecution's claim the Zimmerman profiled Martin because he was black, Maddy said the case was never about race to her, although she didn't want to speak for her fellow jurors.
But her feelings about Zimmerman's actions are clear.
"George Zimmerman got away with murder, but you can't get away from God. And at the end of the day, he's going to have a lot of questions and answers he has to deal with," Maddy said. "[But] the law couldn't prove it."
When the jury of six women—five of them mothers—began deliberations, Maddy said she favored convicting Zimmerman of second degree murder, which could have put him in prison for the rest of his life. The jury was also allowed to consider manslaughter, a lesser charge.
"I was the juror that was going to give them the hung jury. I fought to the end," she said.
However, on the second day of deliberations, after spending nine hours discussing the evidence, Maddy said she realized there wasn't enough proof to convict Zimmerman of murder or manslaughter under Florida law.
Zimmerman concedes he shot and killed Martin in Sanford on Feb. 26, 2012, but maintains he fired in self-defense.
"That's where I felt confused, where if a person kills someone, then you get charged for it," Maddy said. "But as the law was read to me, if you have no proof that he killed him intentionally, you can't say he's guilty."
When asked by Roberts whether the case should have gone to trial, Maddy said, "I don't think so."
"I felt like this was a publicity stunt. This whole court service thing to me was publicity," she said.
As a mother, Maddy said she has had trouble adjusting to life after the verdict, and has wrestled with whether she made the right decision.
"I felt like I let a lot of people down, and I'm thinking to myself, 'Did I go the right way? Did I go the wrong way?'" she said.
"As much as we were trying to find this man guilty…they give you a booklet that basically tells you the truth, and the truth is that there was nothing that we could do about it," she said. "I feel the verdict was already told."
Maddy said she has sympathy for Martin's parents and believes she, too, would continue the crusade for justice if this had happened to her son.
She said she believes she owes Trayvon Martin's parents an apology because she feels "like I let them down."
"It's hard for me to sleep, it's hard for me to eat because I feel I was forcefully included in Trayvon Martin's death. And as I carry him on my back, I'm hurting as much Trayvon's Martin's mother because there's no way that any mother should feel that pain," she said.
Maddy is the second juror to speak in a televised interview, and the first to show her face.

NASA White Sands Test Facility (WSTF)
P.O. Box 20
Las Cruces, NM 88004
url: http://www.nasa.gov/centers/wstf/home/index.html
About the White Sands Test Facility
NASA White Sands Test Facility (WSTF) has been an important part of the space program since 1963. Originally WSTF was known as the Apollo site, because it was established to support the development of the Apollo Spacecraft propulsion and power systems. The first rocket engine was tested at WSTF on Sept. 22, 1964. In 1967, the laboratories were expanded to enable extensive testing of the materials and components related to emerging spacecraft propulsion and power technology and crew safety, especially in the wake of the tragic flash fire during Apollo 1 launch pad test that took the lives of three astronauts. On July 20, 1969, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin landed on the Moon using the propulsion systems tested and qualified for human spaceflight at WSTF. Today, WSTF is a preeminent resource for testing and evaluating potentially hazardous materials, space flight components, and rocket propulsion systems. The laboratory services at WSTF are available to NASA, the Department of Defense, other federal agencies, universities, and commercial industry.
The U.S. Army's White Sands Missile Range also adjoins the mountain range, creating a federally protected corridor of public safety and limited access. The controlled remote property and moderate desert climate are an ideal setting for year-round testing.
WSTF has supported every U.S. human space flight from Apollo to the Shuttle Program and is preparing to support propulsion systems and materials and components testing for the Constellation Program. WSTF also operates a shuttle landing training facility, White Sands Space Harbor (WSSH), where laser-leveled runways help prepare shuttle astronauts for final approaches and landings. The site's runways, navigational aids, and control facilities continuously stand ready as a backup shuttle landing site. As it returned from its third orbital test flight, Space Shuttle Columbia landed at White Sands Space Harbor on March 30, 1982.;
Over the ensuing years, numerous full-scale propulsion systems for the Apollo Service Propulsion and Lunar Modules, Space Shuttle Orbiter, the International Space Station, as well as commercial and military upper stages and planetary exploration spacecraft, have been developed and qualified through exhaustive simulated mission duty cycle testing. WSTF is also evaluating upgraded or redesigned shuttle orbiter components to extend service life, enhance performance, and improve mission safety. WSTF is formally certified to perform precision cleaning and depot-level refurbishment of shuttle orbital maneuvering engines, reaction control system thrusters, and several other flight-critical propulsion system components.
WSTF was again prepared in 2003 after the Columbia disaster on February 1, when NASA requested immediate testing in support of NASA's monumental Return to Flight effort. Within weeks, WSTF engineered a Low Velocity Test Facility to begin testing the effects of ice impacts on shuttle thermal tiles. WSTF provided additional Return to Flight support by resolving fuel valve seal extrusion concerns, evaluating the impact penetration sensor system, processing shuttle reaction control subsystem thrusters, and testing other flight essential materials.
The scientific investigation of explosion phenomena at WSTF is aimed at improving safety at launch facilities and other areas where hazardous materials are used. Using ultra high-speed instrumentation to measure the effects of exploding liquid and solid propellants, we can more precisely define safety and structural requirements for new and existing launch facilities.
As a center of technical excellence in the fields of high-pressure oxygen systems and materials and rocket propellant safety, WSTF offers functional and performance evaluation tests; hazards/failure analyses of materials, components, and complete systems; system design evaluation and recommendations; and safety training courses and manuals.
Although WSTF is primarily responsible for supporting NASA programs, in recent years the facility has taken on the additional mission of helping industrial firms to design, test, and operate hazardous systems. A variety of tests and laboratory research and development are requested each year by all NASA Centers, the Department of Defense, other government agencies, and private industry.
Because private industry assistance is furnished on a cost-reimbursable basis, NASA is able to provide, at little or no cost to the government, a service that enhances national safety and benefits individual companies in more efficient designs and better product performance. Industry gets a bargain, too, because the cost of the service is typically modest in comparison with what it would take for the company to generate the data on its own. For example, WSTF test facilities are among the most extensive in the nation for space-simulated vacuum firings of solid and liquid rocket propulsion systems. Many companies simply do not have their own facilities, and advanced technology frequently creates a need for testing that is beyond the company's in-house capability. In addition, the professional personnel at WSTF provide the technical expertise and support necessary to manage cost-effective, timely, and accurate testing and evaluation of materials, components, and propulsion systems.
The expertise of WSTF employees has promoted a safety culture that exemplifies the values established by government and industry standards. White Sands Test Facility has received recognition as a five-star Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Voluntary Protection Program (VPP) site. WSTF was the first of the NASA sites to be certified in ISO 9001 and 14001 due to employee dedication to safety and adherence to standards.

or centuries, thousands of albatrosses have lived on the desolate islands that comprise the Midway Atoll. Beautiful in flight, but ungainly in their movement on land, the albatrosses were called "gooney birds" by the men stationed on the islands during World War II. The birds soiled the runways, clogged the engines of departing aircraft, and were always, always underfoot. Today, the shadows of their huge wings still dapple the glassy sea as they glide towards the islands to nest. They still perch on the airport runways and the old ammunition magazines and gun batteries, but they no longer need to do daily battle with America's armed forces for possession of the islands.
Inhabited by humans for less than a century, Midway dominated world news for a brief time in the early summer of 1942. These tiny islands were the focus of a brutal struggle between the Japanese Imperial Navy and the United States Pacific Fleet. The U.S. victory here ended Japan's seemingly unstoppable advance across the Pacific and began a U.S. offensive that would end three years later at the doorstep of the Home Islands.

The Sociologically Examined Life: Pieces of the Conversation
McGraw-Hill, 2005 - Social Science - 250 pages
In this lively introductory text, analyses of everyday conversations and experiences are used to inspire students to think sociologically about society and about themselves as social actors. New features for this edition include dialogue boxes where the author responds to students questions in response to previous editions, as well as updated 'related readings' sections directing students to the latest research. Readers are shown how to pay attention to the social world in a sociological way, and how to see the connections between their lives, the lives of others, and the patterns of behaviour that make up society. By interweaving examples looking at race, class, and gender, the book illustrates how power and privilege affect people's experiences and life chances, and how sociological thinking is crucial for effectively pursuing social change. At the end of each chapter, a situation or conundrum is presented with three questions for classroom discussion and writing assignments.

Top of Mind: Cybercrime–This Time It's Personal
The axiom "Quality, not quantity" has been adopted by everyone from stock pickers to those trying to successfully navigate the online dating scene. Now cybercriminals are also putting this philosophy to practice.
The fundamental shift away from mass spam attacks to more targeted threats with potentially bigger payoffs is top of mind to me. This trend is detailed in a new report by Cisco's Security Intelligence Operation (SIO).
Specifically on the issue of spam, Cisco's research reveals that mass spam volumes dropped from 300 billion daily spam messages to 40 billion between June 2010 and June 2011. Although 40 billion is still a huge number, signifying that spam is still an issue, the trend that's most alarming is the threefold increase in spearphishing and the fourfold increase in personalized scams and malicious attacks such as malware.
This increase comes at a huge cost. Worldwide these targeted attacks take a $1.29 billion annual toll on organizations. But while they impact an entire corporation, these attacks start small—with specific individuals or groups. Typically these focused attacks rely on malware or Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs) to get at the data they want over time. For example, an attack that Cisco SIO identified earlier this year involved a message sent to senior executives at a large corporation. The message was sent by an unknown party through a legitimate but compromised server in Australia. An embedded URL was hosted on a legitimate but compromised law blog. When clicked, the user's browser was directed to a previously unknown copy of the Phoenix exploit kit that installs the Zeus Trojan on the victim's computer.
Another example of a targeted attack is the infamous Stuxnet worm, which had the potential to severely disrupt industrial computing systems and reportedly damaged Iran's nuclear program. Stuxnet and other variants that are likely to surface are particularly dangerous because they can traverse non-networked systems, even endangering systems unconnected to networks or the Internet.
Keep in mind that even with a more focused attack on, let's say, a dozen executives at Company ACME (rather than the more traditional mass spam attack), cybercriminals need to reel in only one target to score big. The average payoff per victim can be 40 times that of a mass attack if that victim, for example, has access to corporate banking accounts.
In addition, the reputation cost of an attack can result in a loss of business and shareholder value. According to Cisco SIO research, organizations estimate the reputation cost per infected user is $1,900, or 6.4 times that of the direct monetary loss.
I'm proud that Cisco has taken an aggressive, proactive approach to dealing with these more targeted attacks by using real-time threat intelligence from SIO, the world's largest cloud-based security ecosystem. The system leverages SensorBase data from almost one million live data feeds from deployed Cisco email, web, firewall, and intrusion prevention solutions. Then Cisco SIO weighs and processes the data, automatically categorizing threats and creating rules based on more than 200 parameters. Security researchers also collect and supply information about security events that have the potential for widespread impact on networks, applications, and devices. Rules are dynamically delivered to deployed Cisco security devices every three to five minutes. The Cisco SIO team also publishes security best practice recommendations and tactical guidance for thwarting threats.
No system is foolproof, but in a world of increasingly targeted attacks, savvy CIOs and security buyers should make real-time, comprehensive solutions top of mind.
In an effort to keep conversations fresh, Cisco Blogs closes comments after 60 days. Please visit the Cisco Blogs hub page for the latest content.

Subscribe To Ennio Morricone Says He Is Not Feuding With Quentin Tarantino Updates
I've already subscribed
Last week, movie fans were polarized over reports that landmark movie composer Ennio Morricone was insulting Quentin Tarantino to a class of media studies students in Italy. Morricone, whose work can be heard in such iconic films as The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly and Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds, had said he would never work with the outrageous auteur again, and had been offered the chance with Django Unchained, but turned it down because he says, "[Tarantino] places music in his films without coherence….you can't do anything with someone like that."
Some of you felt Morricone was out of line with these comments, considering Tarantino is generally praised for his genre-bending use of music. Others decided that with as many decades as he has in the business, it must be Tarantino who is at fault. Well, this hubbub has gotten back to the 84-year-old composer, and he says it's neither. In fact, he claims he was taken out of context. In a statement to EW, he writes:
"What I read about my statements on Quentin Tarantino is a partial writing of my thoughts which has deprived the true meaning of what I said, isolating a part from the rest. In this way my statement sounds shocking, penalizing me and bothering me a lot.
It should be noted, the excerpts we covered last week were translated from Italy's news sources by THR, so it is possible that something got lost between the classroom Q&A to the Italian press to translation.
This statement speaks to every point of his seemingly incendiary claims. He is pleased that Tarantino included "Ancora Qui," in Django Unchained. The pair have different musical styles, so Morricone felt—even though he is a icon in the spaghetti western genre—that he was not fit for Tarantino's vision of Django Unchained. The short two months he had to score Inglourious Basterds was not Tarantino's fault, but rather a limitation of Morricone's own busy schedule. And yes, ultimately, he found Django Unchained too bloody, but that—he insists—is not a criticism of the film, but a reflection of his own personal tastes.
So, it was all a misunderstanding. In fact, the meeting in Rome that Morricone mentioned was actually a special event where Morricone awarded Tarantino a lifetime achievement award. Now we can all go back to liking Morricone's music and Tarantino's movies without feeling torn.

Comparative Costs of Upper GI series and Endoscopy
A complete upper GI X-ray study with barium (esophagus, stomach, with "follow through" including upper intestine) costs $272; Medicare allows $155 in a relatively high cost region (Philadelphia and suburban area).
An EGD or upper GI endoscopy is anywhere from three to six times as costly. This site quotes an average $1988, another URL quotes $1065, with almost half these charges including cost of anesthesia which is used in over 98% of patients. However, a breakdown of charges by geographical areas and including use of hospital endoscopy suites is difficult to obtain.
The Big Picture
Many obvious questions arise in the area of invasive imaging of the gastrointestinal tract when non-invasive X-ray studies are available, cheaper, and in 95% of cases superior, and without risk. The problem of audacious overuse of upper EGD is not limited to the U.S., since in Europe upper endoscopy is just as prevalent. Certainly upper GI endoscopy is a crucial method in the diagnosis of some gastrointestinal conditions, but in view of the problem of complications, even death, should it be an almost routine procedure in imaging the upper GI tract, when the much less costly upper GI study with barium, a procedure virtually without risk or complication, is available in every radiology department?
This is a question to be asked every physician who orders EGD and every insurer or HMO who pays for it. Certainly, I do not argue the need for EGD in cases of foreign body, upper GI bleeding, or the presence of ominous findings on the upper GI study. But if the upper GI were done first, 9.5 million or more of 10 million yearly EGD's could be avoided with a savings to the health care system of $12 billion to $18 billion, not to mention tens of thousands of complications, and the saving of several hundred lives.
If there is any question about risk and complications of EGD, if you are asked to undergo the procedure, make sure you ask if an X-ray study could be substituted. Also read the informed consent which reveals all.
Why EGD has virtually replaced the upper GI barium in imaging patients with gastrointestinal complaints is a complicated question with economic overtones and a "politically correct" consensus driven by specialty groups. In the meantime, perhaps we can liken the inappropriate use of invasive studies for routine problems as a form of diagnostic seduction. Better yet, how about technological exuberance or invasive imperialism?

Hells Angel member pleads guilty to lesser charges in Nevada casino shootout
RENO, Nev. – A member of the Hells Angels motorcycle gang has accepted a plea deal just as he and the member of a rival gang were about to go to trial on murder charges stemming from a September 2011 shootout at a Nevada casino.
Cesar Villagrana pleaded guilty Monday in Washoe District Court to one count of battery with a deadly weapon and one count of challenge to fight with a deadly weapon.
He faces up to 15 years in prison at sentencing.
Villagrana is accused of shooting a Vagos member in the leg the same night the president of the Hells Angels San Jose chapter was shot dead at a Sparks casino.
Jury selection is to begin later Monday for the man accused of killing Jeffrey Pettigrew, Vagos leader Ernesto Gonzalez of San Francisco.

CARE's work to bring education to the most marginalized
Naomi, Our Champion Mother
Naomi, Our Champion Mother
Naomi lives in central Malawi. Here we say women like Naomi are born with a "man's heart." She overcame much adversity in her life and uses that horrible situation to inspire others around her.
Born in Zimbabwe as Elle Tina, she was the third of seven children. At 15, Naomi was raped and became pregnant with her son, Wally. She later changed her name to Naomi, inspired by Naomi in the Bible who also faced troubles but overcame them through courage.
Naomi has lived up to her namesake. She returned to secondary school soon after Wally's birth, despite being mocked by her school mates for being a teen mother. Even teachers teased her and said she should not be at school but married at home. However, this only made her stronger and she vowed to work hard and pass the final secondary exams to get her high school diploma. Naomi was doing well at school; unlike other students, her experience was coupled with having to raise a young child. She eventually had to quit school because her father could no longer afford to send her and she thought her bright future was over. Like so many girls in Malawi, Naomi's father sent only his sons to school.
Soon after, she succumbed to the village pressure to marry; she had two more children and adopted two of her nieces. This new life was an unhappy one and after several years she decided to end the marriage. It was difficult being a single mother to five children but Naomi explains "life always has challenges but it is what you make of those challenges; you have to face everything as it comes."
When CARE Malawi launched the Join My Village project in 2009 with an aim of encouraging girls to remain in school, Naomi was one of the first women to get involved. Throughout her life, Naomi has been an ambassador of goodwill. She has been a mentor to many families in her community, volunteering to teach young people about child protection. She attributes her own rape to poor knowledge by men. Naomi was a "Mzati" in the first year of the project, which is a leadership position that plays an important role in monitoring project activities.
She also served as the Chairwoman of her Village Savings and Loan Association (VSLA). In her second year of working with the project, she was elected as a Village Agent. Village Agents manage VSLAs, ensure they comply with the correct methodology and manage any issues or disputes. Naomi uses her role to also meet and spend time with new villages on community development issues, such as educating them about girls' education and HIV.
Naomi says the program has shown her community a "hidden treasure" through VSLAs. Rather than simply offering handouts, it gives the community knowledge and tools to assist themselves, uncovering their own "treasures" within.
"Now we can help ourselves, many feel like they have a job to do and that is to look for money which they can save. This is better than cash in hand," she says. While jumping on her push bike, heading for her voluntary work as a Village Agent, Naomi says everyone has benefited financially, socially and educationally.
Not every woman can be strong and do all this work. But a champion mother like Naomi Chibwe can. She was born with passion and is a leader in her own right. When asked why she does the work she does – despite her own challenges – she replies, "I love my community and especially the girls, I don't want them to end up like me."
But we think any girl that ends up like Naomi is a champ!

When London last hosted the Olympics in 1948, the Games lacked nearly all the trappings of the mega-event they have since become.
Organizers reused existing venues, such as an old velodrome that had housed aerial defense balloons during the war. It lacked lighting, however, so officials turned on car headlights to see the finish of evening bike races.
Boxing and swimming took place in the same Wembley arena. The swimmers competed during the first week, then a boxing ring was built atop the pool, with no time to drain it.
As London hosts a big-budget modern Games this summer, nostalgia can be heard here for the simpler spirit of '48, one focused more on sport, and without the blown-out public budgets and corporations cashing in on stardom.
"These really were the people's Olympics. There was no element of corporate branding and sponsorship. People traveled around in buses," says Iain Sinclair, a noted east London author. "It's now become so grossly swollen and supporting such a mass of people who view themselves as entitled [to] VIP lanes."
Mr. Sinclair says the Olympics have turned into "an excuse for ripping up tranches of the [host] city and remaking it, and then half of it having to be abandoned later."
While London 2012 can be seen as a slight correction to the massive Beijing Games four years ago, the choice of London over Paris as host suggests the Olympic Committee still loves to see cities spend big and build more.
"It's a bit disturbing London was given the Olympics," says David Wallechinsky, president-elect of the International Society of Olympic Historians. "Paris already had existing venues."
That said, there's a pattern in the run-up to most Games – even London '48 – of complaining about the spending and disruptions, he adds.
"There was a lot of grumbling that we just came out of a devastating war … and we're holding a big celebration three years later," he says. "The day the Olympics begin, all this will fall by the wayside."
The bare-bones '48 Games cost £750,000, or roughly £21.3 million in today's currency (about $33.1 million), and no public money was used. The Parliament's estimate of the price to the public of the 2012 Games hovers at £11 billion ($17 billion).
The organizers in 1948 economized out of necessity, given that most skilled labor was rebuilding other parts of London and materials were rationed. The Games' small profit was made mostly on ticket sales.
There was no Athletes' Village, nor special road lanes for VIPs. After winning gold in the 800 meters, American runner Mal Whitfield, still in his tracksuit, took the train back to team headquarters at nearby Uxbridge air base. He never mentioned his win to an elderly lady on the train who asked if he was an Olympic athlete.
"He was too shy to say anything," says Martin Rogan, coauthor of "Britain and the Olympic Games."
Compared with Londoners today, Londoners back then enjoyed amazing access to athletes and events – but at the cost of very few people getting a chance to see the Games.
TV would change all that, and the '48 Games saw the first broadcasts. Over the decades, the broadcasters would inject big money and bigger ambitions into the Games.
"I consider TV coverage overwhelmingly a positive development," says Mr. Wallechinsky, "even though there were some negative things – corporate entities became so powerful. There's only so many people who can fit into the stadium; but when you can have billions around the world watch it, I think that's a good thing."
Most journalists got the news out via a 1948 version of Twitter. US reporters in the press box wrote out short cables, putting each in a can and sending it down a pipe to a waiting Boy Scout. The boy biked the message from the stadium to the media center, where it was relayed by telegraph to a London office, then transmitted via Morse code to the United States.
The BBC had planned to televise only an hour a day of the Games at first, but expanded it to six hours with live broadcasts. So popular were the live broadcasts from Wembley that they helped expand London television ownership from 30,000 to 80,000 sets within a year.
"The communications then and now is probably the biggest single difference," says Mr. Rogan. "That's what has created what we got now. We have to live with that; we can't unpick that."
The massive TV audience attracted not only corporations but terrorists. After athletes were taken hostage at the 1972 Munich Olympics, security hardened in ways that make the low budget and informality of 1948 unimaginable.
But despite all the hoopla around today's Games, Rogan argues people can still glimpse Olympic ideals in the athletes.
"These are values that are worth fighting for," says Rogan, "and that's the only reason the concept has survived."

Writing for Salon, J. Robert Lennon, one of my favorite living novelists, recently said, "Most contemporary literary fiction is terrible: mannered, conservative and obvious."
My first thought was, "I hope he's not talking about me." Once I realized the odds of J. Robert Lennon having read my novel were vanishingly small, my second thought was, "What the heck is he talking about?"
I'm actually very surprised by Lennon's attitude. He's an excellent, inventive writer. His "Familiar" is the story of a woman who is dislocated from one version of her life into another, all the while remembering all the details of the life she left behind. It's a disturbing and affecting piece of work. His previous novel, "Castle," is one of a handful of books that left me too scared to fall asleep.
Lennon thinks fiction writing has become too popular. "Too many people are doing it, and most of them are bound to be bad at it," he writes.
He's not wrong about the seeming popularity of writing literary fiction. There are now 148 full-residency graduate programs in creative writing that draw something like 3,000 to 4,000 applicants per year. You'd think with so many people interested in writing literary fiction, there'd be more people buying and reading it.
There's a certain irony to Lennon's charges, given that he is both the product of (University of Montana) and a teacher within a graduate program in creative writing (Cornell). It's a bit rich for a guy so steeped in the system to complain about the pernicious effects of its insularity.
It's pretty undeniable that some not very good books get written and that some of these even go on to get published.
In a way, Lennon is seeking an explanation for "Sturgeon's Law," a theory developed by science fiction writer Theodore Sturgeon who had grown weary of defending his chosen genre against critics who picked on its most hackneyed examples to tar the entire enterprise. Sturgeon observed that 90 percent of anything is "crap," regardless of category. In other words, it's like watching only the Chicago Cubs and deciding that all baseball teams are terrible.
But even if 90 percent of what's available is crap (debatable), that still leaves more than enough non-crap our there for our reading pleasure. I can't say I've ever had any trouble finding good books. In my weekly recommendations the problem is always having too many possibilities.
Lennon's attitude is not entirely foreign to me. For an assignment during graduate school, I wrote a kind of manifesto, in which I declared everything that was "wrong" with contemporary literature. It had phrases like "intellectual masturbation," "solipsistic navel gazing" and "creatively bankrupt." I named names and quoted at length from those I perceived as the offenders — and I enjoyed doing it.
Some years later, I ran across the paper in the midst of some dusty files, and as I re-read it, I felt the shame creep through me. It was a petulant screed from a failed and resentment-filled writing student. I'd thought taking on my betters might hoist me to their level.
The opposite was true. Not until I learned that it's more important to champion the good, rather than condemn the bad, would I start to write from a place of possibility and joy. I'm surprised that a writer like J. Robert Lennon, someone who has achieved more than I could ever hope for myself, holds these attitudes.
I'm glad that I outgrew them.

James Carville: 90% of Dems Want Hillary Clinton
(NEW YORK) -- Outgoing Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's decision about whether to run for president in 2016 will be key to the makeup of the Democratic and Republican fields in 2016, ABC News political analyst Matthew Dowd said Sunday on ABC News' "This Week."
And James Carville – former strategist for President Bill Clinton – said Democrats are relishing the possibility that she'll enter the race.
"I think that, whether or not other Democrats run, it's all going to pivot off of her. And even the Republicans to a degree are going to pivot off what she does." Dowd said.
With Clinton's popularity across the board surging in the four years after her first run for the presidency, Carville says that the consensus among Democrats is that Hillary Clinton would give the party its best chance to win.
"I don't know what she's going to do, but I do know this: The Democrats want her to run. And I don't just mean a lot of Democrats. I mean a whole lot of Democrats, like 90 percent across the country," Carville said. "We just want to win. We think she's the best person and shut it down. And that's across the board."
But Republican political adviser – and Carville's wife- Mary Matalin said it's unlikely the Secretary of State would be able to clear the field.
"I wish she would run. But it defies human nature to think that Democrats, even though they are redistributionist and utopians, would not be competitive, that [Virginia Senator Mark] Warner or all these other Democrats who've been waiting in the wings are going to have a dynasty, since Democrats are always complaining about these dynasties, they're going to have another Clinton step up, and everyone's going to go, yeah, step back? I don't think so," Matalin said.
