DHS secretary reevaluating deportation priorities
WASHINGTON (AP) — Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson said Wednesday he's re-evaluating the Obama administration's deportation priorities to make certain they're focused on national security, public safety and border security, amid growing pressure from the Latino community and President Barack Obama's fellow Democrats.
Johnson spoke Wednesday after a closed-door meeting with members of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, which has been pressuring the administration to scale back the high number of deportations since Obama took office. The number now stands near 2 million.
Activists contend many people are deported who pose no threat, have little or no criminal record, and are being sent away even if they have entrenched families in the U.S.
With comprehensive immigration legislation stalled in the House, activists are increasingly looking to Obama for a solution. The president announced last month that Johnson would be conducting a review to see if deportation practices can be more humane.
That review is now under way. Johnson gave no hint of a timetable or ultimate conclusions in his brief remarks to reporters Wednesday, but he did indicate he's learning of issues with the current system, which the Obama administration has defended.
"I have heard a number of cases that lead me to want to reevaluate our priorities to make sure we're getting this right, and that's what I'm doing right now," said Johnson.
"I am dedicated and committed to ensuring that our removal priorities are focused on threats to national security, public safety and border security."
Earlier in his administration Obama granted deportation relief to certain immigrants brought here illegally as children, and the Congressional Hispanic Caucus wants the president to expand that to other low-risk groups, such as parents of children who are U.S. citizens because they were born in this country.
Activists have been fasting on the National Mall and outside the White House to bring attention to the issue.

After our cheap, quick-hit, easy looks at each bracket, the gang at Storming The Floor take considerably closer looks, game-by-game. Here's the South Regional preview, with the Midwest coming later today.
#1 Memphis vs. #16 Texas-Arlington.
• UTA Mavericks are making their first trip to the NCAA tournament.
• Mavs got here by playing schools named Schriener, Hardin Simmons, and Texas-Permian Basin.
• Memphis has gone 8-1 against other teams who made the Dance.
The Pick: Memphis
#2 Texas vs. #15 Austin Peay.
• Longhorns have beaten top-seeded tourney teams Tennessee, UCLA, and Kansas this season.
• One of the teams they lost to, Michigan State, is in this bracket. WEVENGE!!!
• Peay is loaded with upperclassmen, and led by wily coach Dave Loos (18 years at AP). The Govs ran up 82 points against bracket-mate Memphis this season, but yielded 104 on the other end.
The Pick: Texas
#3 Stanford vs. #14 Cornell.
• Cornell drew the first NCAA bid this season by going 14-0 in the Ivy League.
• The Big Red have their own giant in seven-foot St. Bonaventure transfer Jeff Foote, but they drew a school that puts both 7' Lopez brothers on the floor at the same time.
• Neither team scores in bunches, so this could be like watching a Teddy Bear climb a Tree for forty minutes.
The Pick: Stanford.
#4 Pittsburgh vs. #13 Oral Roberts.
• Pitt began the season on an eleven-game winning streak. If they can finish it the same way (five and counting as of today), they'll have a snazzy new trophy for their case.
• The Panthers tore through three ranked and higher-seeded teams to take the Big East tournament auto-bid.
• Oral Roberts hasn't fared too well against power-conference teams this season, losing to tournament-bound Texas A&M, Arkansas, and Texas in the early season.
The Pick: Pitt.
#5 Michigan State vs. #12 Temple.
• The Spartans are an enigma this season. They scored just 36 points at Iowa in January, then hung 103 on Indiana in March. Lord knows which team shows up.
• Everybody knows Drew Neitzel, but sophomore Raymar Morgan is Michigan State's most prolific scorer (14 ppg) and rebounder (6.3 rpg).
• It's Christmas time in Philly, as local hero Dionte Christmas has racked up a 20-point-plus scoring average this year and can bomb from deep. But the gifts are also coming from another local, Mark Tyndale, who dishes out 4.2 assists per game.
The Pick: Temple
#6 Marquette vs. #11 Kentucky.
• Freshman sensation Patrick Patterson was averaging over 35 minutes per game for the Wildcats before suffering a stress fracture that has shelved him for the postseason.
• Marquette's tallest player is Ousmane Barro, a 6'10" Senegalese who averages 5 points per game, just over one block per game, and has five fouls to give.
• Kentucky head coach Billy Gillispie hasn't had to remove a flaming bag of dog poop from his front porch since February's blowout loss to Vanderbilt. So that's nice.
The Pick: Marquette
#7 Miami vs. #10 St. Mary's.
• Hurricane fans are really hoping we won't have to see that (FL) thing any more, since Miami (OH) didn't make it to the tournament.
• Aussie Patrick Mills gets all the press, but St. Mary's is loaded, with Diamon Simpson scoring (13 ppg) and rebounding (9 rpg), Omar Samhan clogging the lane, and Todd Golden playing the role of annoying white jump-shooter.
• Picked to finish last in the ACC this year, Miami instead knocked off tournament teams Duke and Clemson en route to a 22-win season.
The Pick: St. Mary's
#8 Mississippi State vs. #9 Oregon.
• Why I'm Warming Up to Oregon: I have my reasons.
• Tyler Hansbrough's younger brother Ben plays for the Bulldogs. Isn't that cute?
• Mississippi State's tenacious rebounding is, well, Bulldog-esque. Jamont Gordon, Charles Rhodes, and Jarvis Varnado have each notched double-figure rebounding games this season.
The Pick: Mississippi State
Round of 32: Memphis gets past the Bulldogs. Temple succumbs to Pitt. Stanford dominates inside to get past Marquette. Texas handles St. Mary's.
Sweet 16: Pitt continues to surprise by taking down Memphis. Texas ekes out enough offense against Stanford's elite D to move on.
Regional Final: Texas vs. Pitt, with the Longhorns heading to the Final Four, where they party like it's 2003.
Regional MOP: D.J. Augustin.

Set and Forget iPhone Messages with Future-Text
If you're like me, it's guaranteed that you will forget to send those "Happy Birthday" text messages that folks swear they can do without, but crack an ever-so-slight smile when they get them. The Future-Text app for iPhone lets you schedule text messages so you can "set it and forget it"
Similar to scheduling an calendar appointment on your device, Future-Text lets users schedule just one message for the future or send the same message over and over by entering how many times the text should be repeated and the end date. A message is pretty simple to set up: Choose the recipient, the date when the message should be sent or start, how many times it should be sent, and when the message should stop (if applicable). Then you compose your message just like any other text, and select "add" to queue it for later.
Once messages are scheduled, users can view them in the messages list and delete them if they're no longer needed. With the free (lite) version, messages can be scheduled for only 30 days into the future, while the full version lets users schedule messages whenever, and offers a companion web version to manage messages online.
The only thing that bugs me is that after a message is scheduled, it's scheduled. If the message is no longer valid, there are no edit options, you can only delete the message and start over. Changing the date, frequency, end date or actual message is worth another $0.50 added the $1.99 price of the full version.
On the flip-side, the app does sends you a push notification to remind you of a pending message. There you can tweak the actual message, but I would prefer to edit the message whenever, and have the option to let the app send the message on my behalf automatically, versus physically tapping "send" every time in order to complete the process.
But that's my opinion - Download Future-Text for iPhone and let me know what you think.

Scott's-Bell 47 (Booth 5309) has contracted IAC Ltd. (Booth 5727) to manufacture new composite main rotor blades for the Model 47. The proposed main rotor blades will use a specially selected airfoil for enhanced performance and will be produced using up-to-date composite materials design and manufacturing technologies.
According to Scott's-Bell 47, the new rotor blades will allow for increased hover performance while decreasing fuel burn. Damage tolerance and fatigue testing will be performed in hopes of extending the blade's service life past the current Bell Helicopter-designed 5,000 hours. Development of the new composite blade came about in response to operator demand, says Scott Churchill, president and owner of Scott's-Bell 47.
"[It] was clear that this is the right choice rather than continuing to manufacture the existing metal blades," said Churchill. The new blades will be available for operators in late 2013, notes Neil Marshall, general manager of Scott's-Bell 47.

Facebook, after repeatedly trying to incorporate applications into the social network, has decided to just create standalone apps to compete with startups, according to a report.
When faced with competition, Facebook would often buy the startup, such as Instagram, but when Snapchat refused Mark Zuckerberg's $3 billion offer, perhaps that was when Facebook realized it had to innovate quickly or lose relevance. Facebook did have a similar app it created in 12 days, Poke, but it failed to catch on or make the tiniest dent in Snapchat's marketshare, according to TechCrunch.
So, maybe because Facebook realized it had to act rather than just copy, Facebook has been buzzing about several of its new apps, namely Messenger and Paper, according to Bloomberg BusinessWeek. Paper is set to launch next week. From the report:
If Facebook is the Internet's social newspaper, Paper strives to be its magazine: photos, friend updates, and shared articles show up in an image-heavy, uncluttered way. The stories are picked and ordered based largely on how much they are shared and "liked" on Facebook, with a team of human editors ensuring that the content comes from the right sources.
Facebook's Messenger app was relaunched in November, and has 430 million users already, TechCrunch reported. The app which essentially lets users message each other photos, video and texts, appeals to the mobile generation and has been the first success out of Facebook Creative Labs.
While Facebook doesn't always have to create winning apps, its scattershot approach at creating standalone apps is helping to improve its mobile numbers and increase its relevance in the world.

back to basics: pizza dough
Who doesn't love pizza? With a crunchy crust, gooey cheese, and all the toppings you want, who could resist?
It's like the Leonardo DiCaprio of food. And like Leo, it will likely never win an Oscar, but it still gets invited to the party.
One of the best things about pizza is that it is so incredibly versatile! You can make practically any kind of pizza you can dream of. Our go-to pizza is topped with caramelized onions, sauteed red peppers, mushrooms, garlic, spinach and chicken, finished off with feta, mozzarella, and cheddar cheese. But we also love greek, pepperoni, and we just tried making thai for the first time. It was the bomb!
This is our tasty recipe for homemade pizza crust. It takes a bit of time and work, but it is definitely worth it! The extra spices in the crust add a nice punch of flavour.
Homemade Pizza Dough
1/2 cup
water (not boiling, hot tap water is fine)
2 (.25 ounce) packages
active dry yeast
1/2 tablespoon sugar
6 cups
all-purpose flour
1 tbsp
1 1/2 tablespoons
white sugar
1 tsp garlic powder
2 tsp oregano
1/2 tsp thyme
1/4 cup
vegetable oil
1 1/2 cups warm water
1) In a medium size bowl dissolve sugar in the hot water, and then mix in yeast. Let this rise for 15 minutes.
2) In a large bowl, mix together all the dry ingredients.
3) Stir in the risen yeast, the warm water and the oil into the dry ingredients.
4) Mix well.
5) Turn out mixture onto a floured surface and knead until dough has a smooth texture. About 10 minutes.
6) Place in a greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let sit in a warm area for 1 hour.
7) Split dough in half, each will make a large pizza.
8) With a rolling pin, roll out pizza a bit larger than the pan you are using. I use
d a large round pizza pan (ours is 14 inches across), and a 10 x 15 square pan.
9) Once the dough has been rolled out, place over well greased pan (I used olive oil) and tuck in the edges to make a crust, poke holes in the crust with a knife or fork (this prevents crust bubbles).
10) Bake pizza at 350 for 20 minutes.
11) Add pizza sauce and desired ingredients.
12) Bake for another 8 minutes, or until the cheese has melted (sometimes we like to broil it).
This is a little sneak peek of what our thai pizza looks like!
Once your crust is cooked smother that baby with pizza sauce (or thai sauce!) and load up with yummy toppings. By cooking the crust ahead of time, you can keep an eye on how it is doing. You don't have to worry about a soggy crust under all your ingredients.
Then just pop it back in to heat up the toppings and melt your cheese. We like to broil it so it gets all bubbly and delicious!

The XKR-S is the most powerful production car ever built by Jaguar, squeezing out 550 hp from its 5.0-liter V8. The Jaguar XKR-S convertible will thus become the most powerful production Jaaaaaag convertible when it debuts at next week's L.A. Auto Show.
In coupe trim, the fanged Jag's a stand-out performer for the brand with a 0-to-60 mph time in the low 4.0-second range and a top speed of 186 mph. With the same powerplant and only a few extra pounds we'll make the extreme leap of guessing the roadster's performance will be similar.
We'll have the first official images of Jaguar's ultimate toupee tosser next week.

Dear Amy: My wife and I have been married for more than 25 years. During that time we have had our share of marital issues, mostly related to our finances.
Although we are very comfortable, my wife makes more money than I do, and it has always been a point of contention. I try to compensate by doing household and outside chores and projects, as well as helping our children, but it is never enough.
The other day I had a private conversation with my wife explaining that I was concerned that our poor relationship was affecting our children. Furthermore, I am concerned that it would affect their current and future relationships.
A day to two later we were having a birthday dinner for me, and I sent a text to our daughters asking if they would be coming to the house.
I got an angry text reply from one daughter, saying that my wife had told her that I said "she was ruined" and that I blamed her mother. Neither of which was true.
I have also overheard my wife making very derogatory and inappropriate comments to my other daughter.
I immediately suggested that we go to family counseling to discuss and resolve the situation. However, my wife refused and denied her statements. My daughter will not return my calls.
I just don't understand why my wife doesn't realize how damaging this is to our daughters and how it could affect their marriages down the road.
— Distraught
Dear Distraught: This interfamily bad mouthing diminishes your stature with your daughters, and from your description, diminishing you is your wife's specialty. You are correct that this negative family dynamic will affect your daughters' relationships down the road.
In order to be effective partners, you and your wife should pool your money to use for the benefit of the family — and not keep score. Some couples are able to peacefully run their households by keeping income and expenses separate, but this can create a serious power imbalance when the person who makes more money uses this to dominate the other.
You should definitely pursue counseling and invite your daughters to join you. If you can't repair this situation within your family, your wife might end up parting with some of her precious income through spousal support.
Dear Amy: Last year we bought a piece of property and will soon begin building a house on it. One of the things we love about the area is that it's secluded, quiet and peaceful. However, the construction process is anything but peaceful, and even though we don't have many neighbors, I'm afraid they will be impacted by our build.
I thought of baking some cookies and taking some to each of them, introducing ourselves, apologizing in advance for the hassle and giving them our phone numbers in case there are any problems (we won't be able to be up there daily).
Is this appropriate? With the prevalence of food allergies, have cookies become passe? I'm not good with this sort of thing, but we plan on staying in this house for a long time and want to start off on the right foot.
— New Neighbor
Dear Neighbor: I think cookies or brownies are a sweet idea (you could disclose the ingredients). I would only caution you that this exposes you somewhat to your neighbors' curiosity and point of view about what you're up to. In advance of this mission you should be prepared for the possibility of very detailed questions about your project.
My advice is to be somewhat vague about your plans and extremely vague about your whereabouts. The last thing you want to do is telegraph "We're not around" to people you don't know.
Dear Amy: Whoa, that letter from "Stressed Out" really hit home. Her husband had gutted their house years before and was not accepting help to finish the project. He also sometimes physically abused their son, who has ADHD.
I thought your suggestion that the husband might also have ADHD was insightful. My experience with an adult who was finally tested and diagnosed was life-changing.
— Reader and Fan
Dear Fan: Thank you for sharing your experience.

This set of new screenshots from within Bohemia Interactive's Arma 3 paints a very pretty picture, one filled with detailed sign textures and sexy lighting. The images were unearthed by the community as part of an ongoing augmented reality game, according to the fan site ArmaHolic.
They've got more over there, and I've got to admit that it looks pretty great—though not as good as some (and that's the last time I'm going to link to that video, I swear). Entry for the Arma 3 public alpha begins on March 5.

Tuesday's news that Steve Ballmer's record $2-billion bid to purchase the Clippers became official is just the latest development in the saga the started in April. What began with a recording of Donald Sterling and a female companion last fall spiraled into a public spectacle that NBA Commissioner Adam Silver called an "unprecedented" crisis for the league. It ended — maybe — with the sale of the franchise that Donald Sterling previously insisted he'd never surrender.
Sept. 12, 2013: V. Stiviano uses her iPhone to record a heated discussion with Donald Sterling at her home in which he makes inflammatory comments about African Americans.
April 9: Stiviano texts the recording to an unnamed Clippers employee. One of Stiviano's text messages in the exchange reads, "Let the games began [sic]." Team President Andy Roeser is notified of the recording and informs Sterling.
Between April 9-25: After Roeser discusses the matter with Sterling, Roeser requests the employee erase the recording and associated text messages from their phone, according to the NBA investigation.
April 23: A TMZ reporter contacts the Clippers for comment about the Sterling recording.
April 24: Clippers chief spokesman Seth Burton suggests Roeser contact the NBA about the recording, the NBA investigation claimed. Roeser is said not to contact the league.
April 25: TMZ publishes the tape late in the day.
April 26: A Clippers employee told tells the investigator retained by the NBA that the employee spent much of the day in a San Francisco hotel room with Donald and Shelly Sterling. Both take an active role in "reviewing and revising" a statement released later that day questioning the recording's veracity.
April 26: Two hours after the statement's release, the NBA's investigator interviews Donald Sterling by telephone.
April 26: In response to the recording, Clippers Coach Doc Rivers says, "I think the biggest statement we can make as men — not as black men, as men — is to stick together and show how strong we are as a group, not splinter, not walk."
April 27: During a news conference in Malaysia, President Obama calls Sterling's comments on the recording "incredibly offensive."
April 28: More than a dozen Clippers sponsors suspend or cancel their relationship with the franchise.
April 28: Stiviano is interviewed by the investigator in Los Angeles.
April 28: Through attorney Bob Platt, Donald Sterling declines an in-person interview with the investigator.
April 28: Roeser is interviewed by the investigator at the Clippers' facility.
April 28: In a telephone interview with the investigator, Shelly Sterling confirms her husband's voice on the recording.
April 29: NBA Commissioner Adam Silver bans Sterling for life, fines him $2.5 million and announces plans to pursue termination of his ownership.
April 30: In a telephone conversation, Donald Sterling tells Silver that he understood the need for the penalties but that "there's nothing in the recording that's bad."
May 2: Before Stiviano's interview with ABC's Barbara Walters, Sterling asks Stiviano to lie to the NBA about the recording and say she altered it, the league's investigation said.
From May 5-15: Twenty Clippers employees are interviewed in person and by telephone as part of the NBA investigation.
May 6: Roeser, part of the franchise since 1984, is placed on indefinite leave by Silver.
May 8: In a statement, Shelly Sterling says she wants to keep her 50% stake in the Clippers for life, but welcomes a new owner to replace her husband.
May 10: Dick Parsons, former Citigroup and Time Warner chairman, is named interim chief executive of Clippers.
May 11: Shelly Sterling tells ABC's Walters that she plans to divorce her husband and has no intention of surrendering her stake in the Clippers.
May 12: Donald Sterling apologizes for his recorded comments, but criticizes Magic Johnson and the community involvement of African Americans in a televised interview with CNN's Anderson Cooper.
May 13: In an interview on the "Today" show, Shelly Sterling says she believes her husband has dementia.
May 15: The Clippers' season ends with a 104-98 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder in Game 6 of the Western Conference semifinals.
May 19: The NBA files formal charges against Donald Sterling to start the process to terminate ownership of the team. The franchise is jointly owned by both Sterlings through the Sterling Family Trust; the league's documents make clear it wants an entirely new ownership group. The league's report disputes that the Sterlings are "estranged." A June 3 hearing in New York is set for league owners to vote on termination.
May 19: The NBA rejects a request by Donald Sterling's attorneys to delay the termination proceedings three months.
May 19: Donald Sterling is examined by Dr. Meril Sue Platzer at his home in Beverly Hills.
May 20: Silver says at a news conference, "We know we're doing the right thing and I know I have the owners behind me."
May 22: Donald Sterling signs letter authorizing Shelly Sterling to negotiate sale of Clippers.
May 22: Dr. J. Edward Spar examines Donald Sterling.
May 23: Changing strategy, the Sterlings plan to shift full ownership of the Clippers to Shelly Sterling, who would pursue a sale. Such a move needs the NBA's approval. In a statement, the NBA says it plans to proceed with the June 3 hearing.

Its great to see so much color so early in the season!ReplyDelete
I am sure it's going to be interesting for you to do all the new faces as the season goes on. It will definitely be interesting for us to see the finished project.
Man, that was a great game. We all know there will be some disappointing games throughout this season. So, let's just bask in all that is good with the Mets so far.ReplyDelete
And Joe, thanks for not going with the whole "Mighty Joe Young" theme. I know it's bound to be used some time in the season. I suspect some people (Daily News...cough, cough) will use it as a crutch all season...lol
Thanks. Maybe after all this I can get a job writing headlines for the NY Post. LOL!ReplyDelete

Cycling bonanza at Colchester Young Children's Festival
Cycling bonanza at Colchester Young Children's Festival
We were inundated by children, eager to do skids and turns on the grass, and then we gently cajoled mums and dads to join them.
Possibly one of the most rewarding things you can do is to get a child to ride a bike by themselves for the first time, so the highlight was the constant stream of young children whose mums asked if we could help them cycle without stabilisers. In the space of a couple of hours, a dozen or so had progressed far enough to start getting their balance ready to pedal unaided.
Even more fantastic, we managed to help four young children to cycle unaided for the very first time. You should have seen the picture of thrilled youngsters – there was no stopping them!
We use a well-tried approach, i.e. encouraging children to scoot on balance bikes - basically that means taking the pedals off - on a slight slope until they gain the natural balance of the bike. Once a child grows more confident, it is almost inevitable that they'll put their feet on the pedals and get going. But don't forget to keep with them until they've learned how to stop!
I didn't have the confidence to take the stabilisers off my son's bike, but you got Toby riding a bike unaided for the first time. We're definitely going home to try some more cycling."
Linda Jamieson
Old Heath
It was a fantastic day and even the rain that came as we were packing away couldn't dampen the spirits and the feeling of elation.
We're always there to help people to cycle. You can contact me on 01206 506412 or by email for any advice and help.

To keep ahead of the game, you need to be bold and think big. It's a massively changing landscape – in marketing, as well as in health and cancer – and people's expectation of brands is very different. They want to engage.
When Macmillan rebranded in 2006, it was quite a significant change in the charity sector.
Judy Beard was in charge of marketing and comms at the time of the rebrand and I was deputy director of comms. Since 2007, I have been director and have led a brilliant team that has embedded the change and driven an ambitious brand strategy that has seen enormous success for Macmillan.
We were ranked 27th in public awareness of charities before the rebrand and are now fourth. We came first in the Third Sector Charity Brand Index 2013 as well as You Gov's best charity brand 2013. Most importantly, awareness of and engagement with us by people affected by cancer has grown enormously.
Never rest on your laurels or wait for others to catch up. Our rebrand was applauded but we never sat back – in fact, we've just refreshed our brand again.
It's important that what I do makes a difference. Passion for a cause is more important to me than career progression. And it's vital to have a balance between work and the rest of my world.
Most importantly, I wouldn't have got to where I am without surrounding myself with inspiring and creative experts. Keep talking to your peers inside and outside of your own sector. I keep learning every day and I simply love what I do.

Imaginary friends - the best!
As most of us know, its that time of year: PCS Orders! We've been here for 3 years, so we knew something was going to come down. Of course it was - I'm getting established here, I may have the opportunity to work in a family support position... so yeah, time to move! It's a joy and a heartbreak of military life - we get to see new places, but we tear up our lives to do it. Chief would rather do another individual assignment downrange and let me stay here, with a good support structure and we honestly didn't think that would be a hard thing!
The Branch Manager [off stage right -hissing, booing from the audience] had other plans. First this fort, then that one. one close to the family! OK, lets go... what do you mean that's been pulled, it was on the table last night? oh, ok, the other one is in the middle of nowhere and not much decent housing off post... wait.. wait.... Nope - there's a short notice IA downrange...
Wound in and around this insanity - is a family issue that I'm not going to discuss- it's not mine to do so, but it's hard on everyone in the family, causing stress and worry. Add in Chief being sick, deadlines and family strife - it was just a stew of emotion, stress, lack of sleep and migraine.
Throughout all this, my online friends were there. I got emails, if they saw me on gmail chat or on FB chat, they were there. One afternoon, in the middle of the worst of the uncertainty and stress a knock on the door ushered in a vase of sunshine yellow tulips, from an online friend - sending me her love and support. They let me rant, let me talk it through, kicked me in the butt to get off it, go outside, take a walk and clear my head. **today, the mailbox had a funny looking package in it.. Yarnlove from another knitting "imaginary friend" who knows how to make me smile.
For everyone who says that online relationships aren't "real"... I'll beg to differ! Yesterday, after many years of emails, blogging and commenting on each other's blog - I met with an online friend in person while she's here for a conference. It was marvelous, we knew so much about each other already and I felt entirely comfortable sitting and talking with her, she brought another blogger with her...and again it was so much fun meeting with a person who writes online.
Looking at the destruction of Japan, reading the pain that another online friend is going through because of a recent casualty - my own problems seem minor now. Plans are firm now, the uncertainty is gone. I'm a planner, uncertainty makes me nervous and stresses me, I'm not good at "just let it all roll". My friends helped me through it. I couldn't be more grateful. I hope I can be there for them when they need it - I better be, because that's what a friend is, what a friend does.
6 comments:
Hugs to you! Uncertainty is truly the worst side of this life.
And you are so right- online friends can be THE BEST. I love what technology has done for the military family. Most of the time, it's a true 21st century blessing. Good luck, and more hugs, too.
- kimba said...
I wish there was a thumbs-up option for blogs! Since there isn't, let me just tell you that this post is wonderful. You hit the nail on the head - online friends are awesome.
- Natalia said...
I'm so glad I got to tag along yesterday! Meeting you two was fantastic, so nice to know there are "others" out there in MilLand.
I'd love to meet up in August/September when I'm back from training and before we PCS to Lewis. I'll definitely be in touch. Have a great summer!
- Slightly_Rifted said...
I'm sorry that the military always has to do the whole drama thing around orders.
I'm also sorry about the family issues that cropped up.
I am glad, however, that your "imaginary friends" are there for you. I am always there for you.
I am so very glad we got to "meet" this weekend. I feel like we have known each other for forever. You are an amazing woman and I am happy to count you as my friend!
- Jennifer said...
I've "met" some extraordinary women online, and I am forever grateful.
I look forward to the day we finally meet in person! The beer is on me.
- Just a Girl in a Port said...
Some of my best friends live in my computer. :)

Former Panther gets chance with Titans
FORMER Penrith forward Chris Grevsmuhl will be handed a second chance at an NRL career, after the Titans signed him to a two-year deal.
Grevsmuhl will officially join the Gold Coast this week, after he was released from his Panthers contract at the end of last year due to personal issues.
The club confirmed the signing today and revealed they had been working with the 24-year-old in recent weeks to set up an appropriate support network around him.
Coach Neil Henry said in a statement that Townsville-born Grevsmuhl deserved a chance to resurrect his NRL career.
"Chris has obviously had some personal issues that he has had to deal with over the last few months and as a club we've taken our time to work with him to get the best results for everyone," Henry said.
"Whilst we know the talents Chris has on the field, we will continue to assist him in all areas of his life, both on and off the field."
The signing is a major boost for the Titans who are in the middle of an injury crisis.

A paradoxical fragrance
In their memory, the designer created a fragrance that unites the past and the future. It is a familiar yet innovative scent; energizing and fresh, sensual yet tenacious. It is a unique and dual creation that allures women and appeals to men. A blended vision by Mugler in every sense.
Beyond time
Cologne first originated with "miracle waters" produced between the 14th and 17th centuries. The healing powers of these waters, their production secrets and the covetousness that surrounded them constituted the stuff of legends and were the secrets to their reputation. Now they have served as a source of inspiration for Thierry Mugler.
The fragrance and its sensations
Mugler Cologne makes a bold impression through its freshness and its intoxicating alchemy. It reveals notes that are familiar yet unsettling, intense yet subtle, invigorating yet sensual. It is a source of emotions and sensations, which are guided by two principles.
- 1st sensation: Invigorating/Energizing A sensation of light and energizing green and citrus notes. For Thierry Mugler, these notes are reminiscent of a traditional Eau de Cologne, pure, simple, clean and fresh.
- 2nd sensation: Sensual/Sweet Simultaneously elegant and seductive. White musk reflects the natural scent of the skin, balancing the fragrance with sensual warmth.
The signature bottle
The bottle is an energizing green color with sleek curved lines and a futuristic seal. The Mugler Cologne bottle embodies the unique sensual freshness of its fragrance to perfection.

Benghazi review: 'Systemic failures'
"Systemic failures" and "management deficits" by top U.S. officials are to blame for an inadequate security situation at the U.S. consulate in Benghazi ahead of the attack that killed four Americans, according to an independent review of the September attacks released Tuesday night.
The Accountability Review Board for Benghazi also found that, despite lapses in judgment and management, no American official was guilty of neglect or dereliction of duty, and that blame for the attack rests "solely and completely with the terrorists."
Story Continued Below
The board's report laid out 29 specific recommendations to improve security for State Department personnel worldwide. In a letter to House and Senate oversight committees, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said her department has accepted every single recommendation.
The review board, led by Ambassador Thomas Pickering and former Joint Chiefs Chairman Admiral Mike Mullen, concluded that the deaths were the result of a planned terrorist attack, not a spontaneous riot, as initially reported.
"The Board concluded that there was no protest prior to the attacks, which were unanticipated in their scale and intensity," the report concludes.
But the report also finds that given the nature of the U.S. mission in Benghazi and the anniversary of the 2001 terrorist attacks on New York and Washington, that the State Department should have been better prepared to handle a serious security breach.
"The Board found that certain senior State Department officials within two bureaus demonstrated a lack of proactive leadership and management ability in their responses to security concerns posed by Special Mission Benghazi," the report concludes. "However, the Board did not find reasonable cause to determine that any individual U.S. government employee breached his or her duty."
The attack, which resulted in the first killing of an American ambassador in more than two decades, has become a major partisan battle over whether the administration of President Barack Obama did enough to protect American diplomats abroad.

UPDATE: WINNER to this contest is announced here.
George Bush left office with either the lowest popularity rating of any President in history, or at the very least, the second lowest. The last President to be so unpopular was Lyndon B. Johnson who presided over the Vietnam War.
We are at a loss to see what George did all that wrong. We know the war was a major flub, but it was one huge mistake, and obvious. But people blame George and the Bush administration for everything. Bubonic plague, athlete's foot, Sarah Palin, need we go on?
We don't see any genuine attacks on George that hold water. The deregulation attack on Bush is that he didn't do enough about deregulation enacted by his Democratic predecessors. Wow, what kind of attack is that?
So, we decided to let the liberals, and whomever else desires to have a go, to get a prize for telling us specifically what George Bush did wrong. The best answer as chosen by our staff will win a $15 Amazon Gift Certificate! All for stating your opinion.
Now, there are some rules.
1. No profanity. Profane language won't see the light of day. Your response will be deleted unceremoniously.
2. Use a few brain cells. Answers like, "Because he was an idiot" don't cut it, and while we may not filter them out, they won't win.
3. Decisions by our staff are final and the winner will be announced three weeks from the publication of this article.
4. Keep the topic relevant. Posts not related to the question will be deleted.
5. State the why. Answers that say because the economy sucks but then don't say how Bush was related to the economic problem will not be selected.
6. Have fun.
7. Entrants must be from the United States and provide a valid email address.
8. If you don't respond to claim your prize within 7 days of our announcement, we will offer it to the next best response.
9. Enter as often as you wish!
Hints On How To Win!!
1. Make your answer concise.

I am conducting a multiple indicator lgm with continuous variables. Three time points are modeled and the latent variable at each time-point is measured by three indicators. These indicators are item-parcels, i.e. the average of three items of a nine-item scale intended to measure the construct under consideration. Also, while the first two slope loadings are fixed at 0 and 1 in the lgm, the last loading is freely estimated. Furthermore, I estimate the model with the restriction of strict measurement invariance. This LGM fit the data very well (CFI = .996). Interestingly, the slope variance did not differ from zero, which is a surprise as this contradicts earlier research findings. However, when I compute a "manifest" form of the lgm (the nine items are averaged at each time point), I obtain a significant slope variance (the overall model fit is good: CFI = .994). Similar results emerge when I compute manifest lgms for each of the item parcels I had used in the multiple indicator lgm (p-values are: p = .04, p = .09, p = .12). This is confusing (for me, at least) and I was wondering whether you have ever had such a case, and whether I should interpret the manifest or the latent result? 2. What explains this pattern? Apparently, changing to multiple indicator lgms does not always yield smaller standard errors for growth parameters (as I thought); why did this not occur in my case?
Thanks in advance,

Multiple indicator growth modeling is described in the Topic 4 video and course handout on the website. One of the first steps is to fit a growth model for each indicator. If the indicators do not have the same shape, a multiple indicator growth model is not appropriate for the data. This may be the case for your data.

Dear Dr. Muthen,
thanks for your reply and your advice. However, I believe that the indicators have approximately the same shape (although I am not sure if they are similar "enough"). The third (the other two loadings are fixed at 0 and 1) loading of the first indicator is .935, .952 for the second indicator and 1.007 for the third indicator. Is this OK or is the loading of the third indicator to high?
Thanks, Steffen

I would not fix the loadings of any indicator except the one that sets the metric of the factor. I think you might find the Topic 4 course video and handout on this topic helpful.

Because of its high melting point, ruthenium is not easily cast; its brittleness, even at white heat, makes it very difficult to roll or draw into wires. Thus, the industrial application of metallic ruthenium is restricted to use as an alloy for platinum and other metals of the platinum group. Processes for isolating it are an integral part of the metallurgical art that applies to all platinum metals. It serves the same function as iridium for the hardening of platinum and, in conjunction with rhodium, is used to harden palladium. Ruthenium-hardened alloys of platinum and palladium are superior to the pure metals in the manufacture of fine jewelry and of electrical contacts for wear resistance.
Ruthenium is found among the fission products of uranium and plutonium in nuclear reactors. Radioactive ruthenium-106 (one-year half-life) and its short-lived daughter rhodium-106 contribute an important fraction of the residual radiation in reactor fuels a year following their use. Recovery of the unused fissionable material is made difficult because of the radiation hazard and the chemical similarity between ruthenium and plutonium.
Natural ruthenium consists of a mixture of seven stable isotopes: ruthenium-96 (5.54 percent), ruthenium-98 (1.86 percent), ruthenium-99 (12.7 percent), ruthenium-100 (12.6 percent), ruthenium-101 (17.1 percent), ruthenium-102 (31.6 percent), and ruthenium-104 (18.6 percent). It has four allotropic forms. Ruthenium has a high resistance to chemical attack. Ruthenium is, with osmium, the most noble of the platinum metals; the metal does not tarnish in air at ordinary temperatures and resists attack by strong acids, even by aqua regia. Ruthenium is brought into soluble form by fusion with an alkaline oxidizing flux, such as sodium peroxide (Na2O2), especially if an oxidizing agent such as sodium chlorate is present. The green melt contains the perruthenate ion, RuO-4; on dissolving in water, an orange solution containing the stable ruthenate ion, RuO42-, usually results.
The −2 and 0 through +8 states are known, but +2, +3, +4, +6, and +8 are most important. In addition to carbonyl and organometallic compounds in the low oxidation states −2, 0, and +1, ruthenium forms compounds in every oxidation state from +2 to +8. Very volatile ruthenium tetroxide, RuO4, used in separating ruthenium from other heavy metals, contains the element in the +8 oxidation state. (Although ruthenium tetroxide, RuO4, has similar stability and volatility to osmium tetroxide, OsO4, it differs in that it cannot be formed from the elements.) The chemistries of ruthenium and osmium are generally similar. The higher oxidation states +6 and +8 are much more readily obtained than for iron, and there is an extensive chemistry of the tetroxides, oxohalides, and oxo anions. There is little, if any, evidence that simple aquo ions exist, and virtually all its aqueous solutions, whatever the anions present, may be considered to contain complexes. Numerous coordination complexes are known, including a unique series of nitrosyl (NO) complexes.

DURHAM � A North Carolina Highway Patrol trooper was recovering Tuesday after being shot during a traffic stop in Durham, and police have arrested a man who was wanted in Vermont.
Mikel Edward Brady, 23, of Durham was arrested Tuesday for assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill in the shooting of 42-year-old Trooper Michael Potts, Attorney General Roy Cooper said. Cooper's office said Brady had been wanted on a felony warrants from Vermont
Potts was shot four times with bullets piercing each hand, his right shoulder and the right side of his face, said Public Safety Secretary Kieran Shanahan. The 11-year patrol veteran had two surgeries and was in fair condition Tuesday, but Shanahan called Potts� survival a miracle.
Potts was shot after stopping a car because the driver was not wearing a seatbelt, Shanahan said.
Brady was charged in Vermont last fall with shooting deer out of season. He had been sentenced to 28 months in federal prison in December 2010, after stealing dynamite from a Vermont quarry. Brady also allegedly jumped bail while awaiting trial on state home invasion charges before being arrested in Mexico by U.S. marshals in 2009.
