The United States Joint Forces Command (USJFC) is currently evaluating Unisys Stealth technology at the Joint Transformation Command for Intelligence (JTC-I) in Suffolk, Virginia.
"Unisys Stealth Solution for Network lets an organization set up "communities of interest" through a group policy using Microsoft Active Directory, with session-specific encryption keys scrambling data that can only be decrypted by those belonging to each group. Stealth works to "bit-split" data into multiple packets and re-assemble it to authorized users, which alone can decrypt it."
A Unisys press release further states that USJFCOM will be testing "cryptographic bit-splitting" as a way to converge DoD Global Information Grid networks operating at different security levels into a single network infrastructure.
"This technology can address a longstanding challenge for the Department of Defense and other government agencies: how to simplify their networks without sacrificing security, while delivering significant cost savings," said Jim Geiger, managing partner, Department of Defense, Unisys Federal Systems. "Unisys will draw upon its extensive experience with the Unisys Stealth Solution for Networks to support the Joint Forces Command and the Joint Transformation Command for Intelligence in this pioneering effort to promote secure data and information sharing among various communities within the DoD. This solution is now the double-encryption security mechanism protecting the Unisys Secure Cloud solution."
December 2008 post I described cryptographic bit splitting as a new approach for securing information. Its advantages include: Enhanced security from moving shares of the data to different locations on one or more data depositories or storage devices (different logical, physical or geographical locations
My company, Dataline LLC, is also leveraging this technology during the Trident Warrior '10 fall lab experimentation period. As I posted in US Navy Experiment With Secure Cloud Computing, the Secure Cloud Computing experiment has been designed to explore the use of a commercial Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) platform as a viable means of supporting a specified subset of US Navy mission requirements for global connectivity, server failover and application access. Goals for the experiment include:
- Demonstrating the establishment and use of trusted communication paths on a global public computing infrastructure; and
- Demonstrating dynamic, mission driven, provisioning of information via trusted communication paths on a global public computing infrastructure
>I'll keep you posted on the outcome of both DoD activities.

With many Americans striving to build their skills to get jobs in a rapidly changing economy, the workforce development field has seen a significant increase in sector strategies, which focus on the specific skills that employers need and address the real-world challenges facing low-income workers. Maureen Conway and Robert P. Giloth deliver a robust volume featuring perspectives from prominent nonprofit and philanthropy leaders, academics and researchers to capture how sector-based workforce development, in industries ranging from health to construction, has evolved over 30 years — and how it can continue to grow and inform future investments and policy decisions. The book offers lessons for policymakers, philanthropic investors, researchers and local leaders interested in policies and practices that support strong businesses while helping struggling Americans connect to good jobs.
Connecting People to Work features case studies of organizations implementing sector-based workforce development strategies in the health care, construction, manufacturing and restaurant industries, and highlights how policy and economic changes and new practices among education and training institutions are affecting workforce development efforts. It also includes evaluation results and a review of major sector-financing strategies.
The book discusses the need for these workforce strategies at a time when many people are out of work or underemployed and face a labor market that is difficult to navigate. Too many workers today earn too little to make ends meet, and they often lack the time or resources to participate in local education programs that may or may not help them find work. Many low-wage workers often need additional support as they go through training, an approach generally adopted by sector strategies.
The results chronicled in the book make clear that such strategies can help create viable opportunities for more Americans to gain the skills they need to achieve greater financial stability.

The outlook for the Greek banking system has been changed to stable from negative, reflecting expectations of a return to growth of the domestic economy in 2014-15 after six years of contraction, Moody's Investors Service said in a new report.
The gradual economic recovery, coupled with Greek banks' recapitalisations and regained access to inter-bank and international capital markets, will further ease funding pressures and lead to a gradual recovery of pre-provision profitability in 2015, the rating agency said. In addition, the outlook also takes into account the expected deterioration in asset quality and capital metrics in 2014, although at a much reduced pace than before.
The rating agency considers that -- despite continued weak domestic demand in the wake of wage cuts and a still elevated unemployment rate -- the operating environment for Greek banks will gradually improve, signalling the re-emergence of more normalised financial metrics over the 12-18 month outlook horizon.
It said that the stable outlook is consistent with the stable outlook on most rated banks' deposit and debt ratings, as well as with the stable outlook on the sovereign rating.
Moody's forecasts gradual economic recovery -- with real GDP growth of 0.3% in 2014 and 1.2% in 2015 -- led by tourism and exports, as structural reforms are progressively transforming Greece into a more competitive export oriented economy from a consumer-led growth model. Despite still weak labour markets and demand, the rating agency considers that the current GDP growth path will create more sustainable business opportunities for banks, while the economies of scale resulting from the significant sector consolidation in 2012-13 will better position banks to benefit from efficiencies.
Moody's also expects funding pressures on banks to stabilise further, as dependence on central bank funding will continue to ease against the background economic recovery. Greek banks have been able to access both the interbank repo market, as well as the international capital markets, as evidenced by the recent senior debt issuance by two banks. Moody's also noted that banks' recapitalisation in June 2013 and the resulting access to the interbank repo market has reduced funding requirements from the European Central Bank and Emergency Liquidity Assistance from the Bank of Greece to 19% of total assets at end-December 2013 from 34.6% in December 2012. However, customer deposits will remain fragile and will take time to replenish the sizeable loss of deposits in the system since 2010.
Against this background, Moody's expects a gradual improvement in profitability in 2015 as banks' pre-provision income will progressively increase; however, banks will remain loss-making in 2014 because of the still elevated loan-loss provisions.
In addition, whilst Moody's notes the sustained slowdown in the formation of new non-performing loans, the rating agency predicts that reported NPLs will peak at 37% of gross loans at end-2014 or early 2015 from 31.7% as of December 2013, owing to the lagged effect of economic recovery. Moreover, loan-loss reserves are insufficient to cover expected losses, as NPLs have risen faster than provisions and banks' ability to foreclose on residential properties remains somewhat constrained.
The rating agency estimates around EUR 7.5 bln of further capital needs stemming from the banks' loan-book losses alone, provided there are no losses imposed on sovereign securities. This is broadly consistent with the EUR 6.4 bln estimated capital needs for banks under the "baseline" scenario announced by Bank of Greece in March.
Although that magnitude of capital would be within the Hellenic Financial Stability Fund's current buffer (of EUR 11.4 bln as of December 2013) to provide further support, the new capital is likely to be sourced largely from private investors, as demonstrated recently by the successful rights issues from two Greek banks.

Rihanna unloaded on the editor of a popular Dutch magazine this week -- furious over an article that referred to her as a "N**gaB*tch."
In the original article that ran in "Jackie" magazine -- editor Eva Hoeke approved copy that read, "Rihanna, the good girl gone bad, is the ultimate n**gab*tch and displays that gladly."
Rihanna was PISSED -- and responded with a Twitter message to Hoeke which read, "I hope u can read english, because your magazine is a poor representation of the evolution of human rights!"
She added, "I find you disrespectful, and rather desperate!! You ran out of legit, civilized information to print! There are 1000's of Dutch girls who would love to be recognized for their contributions to your country, you could have given them an article. Instead, u paid to print one degrading an entire race!"
Hoeke has since resigned from her position -- and the magazine says she has been "taunted and threatened" after referring to the slur as a "joke" in what's being considered a half-assed apology.
The magazine has invited Rihanna to talk things out with them for an article in the next issue. Don't hold your breath, Jackie.
This is coming from someone who proudly wears a necklace with the work c**t on it and even in a church! I am not condoning what Chris Brown did to her at all but in some respects I am wondering if she may have been an instigator in this matter. If you want to be treated with respect you have to respect yourself and she has clearly shown she does not!
why is this a debate on who can use the word where and when? This is no different that any other profane name we may call out friends. I may joking call my friend stupid and I may refer to her as a b*tch in jest. But let a stranger call her a stupid b*tch (or better yet let a magazine publi***** for the world to see) and see if she takes it kindly. I don't believe anyone would. I have never heard those two terms put together and I would take offense if a stranger called me either. If you don't know when it's appropriate to say it, it means you never have cause to do so and shouldn't say it at all. It may be unfair for one set of ppl to be able to say it and others can't, but for all the unfairness and injustice in the world this is what you're complaining about? This word, no matter the race of the person using it, can cause a problem. If you don't have a problem defending your right to use it wherever, whenever, no matter the cost, then go ahead; otherwise, agree that it's not worth the trouble.
What Rihanna chooses to call herself or wear is her own right. It does not justifying anyone calling her anything. Think what you want, say what you want, but understand that words like actions have unforeseen consequences.
Rihanna is offended? This is the woman who walks around wearing a necklace that reads "c*nt". She is a lowlife, undeserving, and absolutely useless.
Can you see them calling Aretha Franklin, Beyonce, or Janet Jackson a N****B****? No. But Rihanna, christina aguilera, Lil Kim, Ke$ha, Tila Tequila, and the entire franchise of the Real house wives are all eligible for the title of N****B****es. You see it has little to do with the color of your skin, and more to do with how you behave and carry yourself.
Please. If a black "rapper" had said this and it would be no big deal. But some white gingerbread Dutch woman says it--in jest--and Rihanna goes all "ghetto" on her. Black people and their self-appointed spokesmen like Rihanna need to get a sense of humor, and a life. Bullies like Rihanna are evidence of why too much self-esteem can be a bad thing.
All these comments about her necklace and ppl saying it's rightly deserved for her to be called this because of it and how she dresses.Geez, in your world, are they still giving out scarlet letters for adulterers too or stoning women for any display of indecency? What about those reading the magazine that are offended by it? Are they n**gab**ches too?
I dont think the issue is whether this person is black or white using the N word, its the fact that there is no personal relationship. Its no different from girls calling their friends B****. If you are close with a person and you choose to go around calling each other that, then its ok. However, you wouldnt address someone you didnt know personally like that unless you are intentionally trying to offend them.
Her pic makes her look vulgar.
Rihanna didn't deserve that, regardless of how she presents herself, nobody does. I'm just so appalled by the blatant unprofessionalism displayed by the mag! Like, really? You thought that'd be okay with the world? Nevermind completely alienating Rihanna herself. I will say, however, that Rihanna's tweet about the racist guy she encountered in Portugal was equally tacky & unnecessary. Additionally, I'm amazed at the comments here; many of you are hiding behind your computers, joyfully cosigning the use of "N****a B***H" in a MAGAZINE, but how many would dare say that to someone's face. DIDN'T THINK SO.
Why do people treat the N word like its a friggin' privilege? Those who are mad that X or Y "gets" to say it, needs to ask themselves why they want to say it so bad? Well,it's not that they don't- they just don't say it where they think its unacceptable! So... I guess the real question is, where do we get a big ol' time machine so we can go back and call black people N's to their faces and say what we feel and its still socially acceptable?
Shame on TMZ for putting the words racist and degrading in quotes as if it weren't.
For all the retards on here. Black ppl can say the word *****. Okay? It's our word to say. Stop saying that we can't choose when it's acceptable. Yes we can! We were called it and are still called that for no other reason than for being black. We took it and made it our own as we do EVERYTHING. That is what you ppl hate. That you can't treat us anyway you like. Stop saying we can't say that word. We can and we do and yes we do get offended when you ppl say it. Racist bastards!
well eva has quit the job though... the power of the internet.
greetz from Amsterdam (Netherlands)
How much you wanna bet she has played the Slave/Massa game during sex...oh come on...you know this dirty girl has been called N***er plenty of times in the sack.
Sorry, but this double standard is here to stay. I don't care what you hear on the streets. No magazine should say those things. What chain Rihanna chooses to wear isn't anyone's business. She's a celebrity. It's her job to stay relevant. If you can remember the design or her necklace, then she is doing her job well. Now she gets to slam the magazine and get more publicity. Good job Rihana.
This coming from a girl who flaunts a necklace around her neck with the word "C*nt?" That's got to be the most derrogaty word you can call a woman and here she's squawkin' about being called a ***** bitch? Give me a freakin' break!!!!

Dear teachers,
Could I use this phrase "Cure & Secure" like a word-play in the description of a company which scans websites, detects viruses and removes malware from them. Or do you use this phrase only when you are speaking about health.
Thank you!
Yes and no.
So?..) Like a slogan? Website protection services.... We cure and secure!

I'd like to settle this once and for all about UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones.
I don't know if what he did on Instagram was or wasn't him. At best, it's all weird. At worst, he's a horrible homophobe worthy of every bit of scorn we can possibly heap on him. What the truth is, I don't know, but I'd like to talk more about the nature of Jones' criticism and where it's likely headed.
But let that not serve as a distraction too much as there are three UFC events in ten days. Up first, The Ultimate Fighter: Nations followed by the next season of The Ultimate Fighter. I'm not one for animosity raising a bout's appeal (although it certainly works for the profile), but I am somewhat more intrigued this time around as it relates to Tim Kennedy and Michael Bisping.
Then Saturday is the next installment on FOX. I'm not sure how well it will do in the ratings, but it's a pretty sensational card...except for the fact that Rafael dos Anjos vs. Khabib Nurmagomedov is on the prelims instead of the main card. What an unbelievable bummer that is.
There's a lot going on, so join me today to discuss all of this and more. In terms of today's chat, anything is up for discussion, but I will lead with this and it all kicks off at 1 p.m. ET.
As is customary, I'll post the video window here as the event draws near and I'll answer any questions you may have if you post them in the comments section below. Be sure that you click the 'rec' button for those comments/questions you believe most deserve a response.
Be sure to link this page and use the hashtag #chatwrappers on Twitter or even Facebook when you're watching this to let everyone know you're taking part is this activity of ours.
Talk with you all at 1 p.m. ET.

Precepts Bible Study
The goal of a Precepts study is to establish you in God's word using the Bible as the primary text. Study and fellowship are integrated into one wonderfully vibrant, thriving study group. Questions: Contact Karyn Pearson
More Information
Isaiah is the crown jewel of Old Testament prophets, a book that strikes awe in the heart of its reader. Prophecies from Isaiah are mentioned in twenty-two places in the Gospels, Acts, and Romans. The words of Isaiah were often found on the lips of the Christ, the Messiah whom the prophet Isaiah foretold. If Jesus, God incarnate, honored this grand and glorious book so highly, then you and I ought to do the same.
This coming year in Precept we will study the entire book of Isaiah using two workbooks. Isaiah Part 1 is entitled "The Word of the Holy One to Israel, the Remnant, and the Nations . . . and the Promise of the Child to Be Born." It includes 14 lessons which cover Isaiah Chapters 1 – 39. In Part 1, we'll meet the Holy One of Israel, and learn how He deals with those who claim Him as God but don't honor Him as God in the way that they live. We'll discover the destiny of nations, and the future of all mankind, including ours. Isaiah Part 2 is entitled "Comfort My People." It includes 9 lessons which cover Chapters 40 – 66. In Part 2 we learn that the Lord told Isaiah to speak kind words to Israel. He wanted to comfort His people with the promise of great restoration for them. We too can learn to take comfort in the promises of God as we face the uncertainty of the days ahead.
Meets: Three (3) Thursdays per month, 9:15 to 11:30 AM in the basement classroom (SC01) of Ginger Creek Community Church from September 2014 through May 2015, beginning September 11th. The first hour of class time is workbook discussion and the second hour is DVD teaching by Kay or David Arthur.

Beloved Disciple by Beth More
Explore with Beth Moore, the life of the apostle John. Having been with Jesus all the years of His ministry, John witnessed miracles, saw displays of power, and experienced more love than he could fathom. In his three letters John left a legacy of divine love to ignite the passion of future believers. And while exiled on Patmos, John recorded His risen Lord's glorious revelation of victory and hope.
More Information
Beloved Disciple by Beth Moore
Every disciple and early follower of Christ left a legacy for future believers. John's legacy was love. Perhaps like no other disciple, John understood that relationship is the point. Every command of Christ and call to obedience is to enhance relationship and place the recipient in a posture the Giver can bless. This study is about finding our way to the heart of Jesus and reclining so closely that our pulse begins to throb in tandem, loving what He loves and hating what He hates

The Nova Scotia and federal governments are spending $4 million on repairs and upgrades to social housing units in Nova Scotia.
About $2.5 million will go to repair and replace deteriorated roofs, windows, doors and siding, upgrade older heating systems, and improve public-area flooring.
About $1 million will be spent on improvements, such as replacing sprinklers, ensuring buildings continue to meet fire regulations and upgrading fire alarms.
Another $500,000 will be used to upgrade public corridors, exterior walkways and parking areas.
"Housing is not just an investment in the bricks and mortar of a building," Community Services Minister Joanne Bernard said in a release. "First and foremost, it is an investment in our people. Government is committed to improving life for Nova Scotia's most vulnerable citizens."
The work is expected to get underway soon.
"These renovations are a positive example of how savings from the Canada-Nova Scotia Social Housing Agreement can be reinvested to ensure that housing developments continue to be viable and affordable for years to come," Cumberland-Colchester-Musquodoboit Valley MP Scott Armstrong said in the release.
The federal-provincial social housing agreement allows provincial governments to reinvest accumulated funds into existing social housing. In November, Bernard announced Housing Nova Scotia would invest its $61.8-million carry-over on renovations and upgrades.
Housing Nova Scotia and the province's five regional housing authorities identified the Phase 1 projects based on need. A breakdown of spending by region can be found at http://novascotia.ca/coms/investment-in-social-housing/.

Anse Crawen Review
This ½-mi (¾-km) stretch of white sand is secluded and was known for nude sunbathing, but don't plan on shedding your suit, because now it's against the law. Topless is still okay. To reach it, go past the resort Bois Joli and continue straight until you see the beach. It's a narrow beach, somewhat rocky, but still appealing. Although it's busy in high season, the fact that it is a stretch to get here means that in low-season you might be all alone. Amenities: none. Best for: solitude; partiers; swimming; walking.

Moves and Boundaries
This is a very exciting week in our family!
Even though our daughter, Aubrey, has been married a year and has lived 10 hours away from us during that time, I get excited for their next chapter!
They'll very soon only be 4 hours from us!
We're thankful that we've been able to see them as often as we have; especially since our precious grandson has entered into our lives.
The topic of boundaries has been discussed and we full-heartedly agree (but even if we didn't, it's the way that it would have to be anyway).
We want to respect our daughter and her husband's space and time.
No unexpected of short-notice visits. We'd probably wait to be invited.
My husband and I love the way our family boundaries work.
Both his and my family live almost 9 hours away.
They visit us. We visit them.
I can surely say that the time between visits is sometimes too long, but we do have a busy household!
Since we've become Grandparents, we see what our parents see when they look at our children and long to see them more.
It makes us appreciate their roles and hearts.
I found such a great article about In-Law Boundaries.
These are wonderful tips for me as a mom, mother-in-law, and daughter-in-law!
Our adult children want us to be a part of their lives!
They love their parents!
They are also learning their way as independent adults.
Living out their marriage takes adjustment that only the two of them can work through.
They're learning a new town, diving deeper into their roles as husband and wife, starting a new college "career", making new friends, and establishing their new home.
We, as parents, will definitely be available if help or guidance is needed, but only at their request.
If there's ever anything that we see that is a legitimate concern (not a difference of preference alone), I believe that we have the floor to address things lovingly.
…and at the same time, if they choose not to accept what we share, we move on! (As a personal rule, I'm trying to learn not to be easily offended.)
We get to know our children as they grow into adulthood, marry, have babies and navigate this life!
Enjoy the journey that God has blessed us with, make the most of every moment.
We choose love, compassion, companionship, to allow each other to grow, to show grace, and understanding.
Family is such a beautiful gift! Thank You, Lord for ours!

As The Lord Leads Our 2014-2015 Homeschool Year
Another year of changes and promises to myself and the kids to do and be better.
Another year that will be filled with more accomplishments; less failures.
There are things that are in my control because I have freedom to choose the better and best things.
I know that there will be days that I'll sit quietly and repeat this verse to my soul when I feel defeated, because I have reason to be joyful!
"Why are you cast down, my soul?
And why are you disquieted within me?
Hope in God; for I shall yet praise Him,
the help of my countenance and my God."Psalm 42:11 (NKJV)
And why are you disquieted within me?
Hope in God; for I shall yet praise Him,
the help of my countenance and my God."Psalm 42:11 (NKJV)
Those thoughts will most likely come when I dwell on the past years of home educating.
That's mainly the reason that I don't write about the "act" of educating my children.
I hadn't seen the successes academically like I'd like to.
That's mainly the reason that I don't write about the "act" of educating my children.
I hadn't seen the successes academically like I'd like to.
This time I will not allow myself to roll around in the past!
My attitude will be one of rejoicing the opportunity I have in educating our children at home!
I've started getting encouragement and a "You are more than capable" from a friend that shows the realness of academics and "do-ability".
Tricia, Hodgepodge, probably has no idea how much she's helped me see clearly.
Tricia, Hodgepodge, probably has no idea how much she's helped me see clearly.
My list has been made. The desire has been rekindled in me and I seek God daily for direction.
I'll fight the urge to give up or be overwhelmed.
With that said, I look forward to the coming year with great optimism and vision.
The list below is TOTALLY subject to change…and most likely will before we actually start our school year {affiliate links follow}.

Things that we use to do this will be our tools for successful living God's way!

The Better Together Conference
I'm so super excited about The Better Together M.O.M. Conference coming up this weekend!!
The dream that God placed in Stephanie Shott's heart is yielding much fruit because she was obedient to put hands and feet to His mission for His glory!!
The M.O.M. Initiative was birthed!
The M.O.M. Initiative is a revolution of women who are mobilized to experience Titus 2 in real life.
We are mothers on a mission to mentor other mothers
– changing the world one mom at a time.
I've got my mental packing list going on and I'm ready for the connection, fellowship and renewing in my spirit with the Better Together Conference!
Here's a little bit of what to expect at the conference from The M.O.M. Initiative page:
A fun, encouraging, challenging and inspiring conference for MOMS, MENTORS and MINISTRY LEADERS where you can find solid biblical teaching, enjoying connecting with and laughing with old and new friends, and leave empowered to fulfill your God-given calling and with the confidence of knowing you don't have to take your mom journey alone. Hey ladies… there is something at BETTER TOGETHER for women of all ages and all stages!
I'd love to share this experience with you in person! If you're on the fence about coming, lean more to the side that puts you at the conference!
I see this as sort of a before-back-to-school rejuvenation!
To have fresh perspective on the days ahead.
There will be 18 speakers and 40 breakout sessions. Surely one (or several) of these will speak directly to your current stage in life!
Visit the conference to get more specifics on the speakers, topics and mission.
See you soon!!!

Pick Up The Word of God
27 Now He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God.
28 And we know that all things work together for the good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.
29 For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren.
30 Moreover who He predestined, these He also called; whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified.
31 What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?
32 He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?
33 Who shall bring a charge against God's elect? It is God who justifies.
34 Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us.
35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
36 As it is written: "For Your sake we are killed all day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter."
37 Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.
38 For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come,
39 nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Living With Sword and Coffee,
Romans 8:27-39 (NKJV)

Great house
The house is great. While it may be small in square footage, the living spaces are great sizes! Beds were very comfortable. The finished basement sleeps another 4 people! Very clean and well maintained. Yard is big and level- great for playing. The street is very small and quiet with hardly any thru traffic. Owners are very nice and easy to communicate with and very helpful! Right in the middle of all the beaches! Highly recommend.
Lovely House and Amazing Food
The Austin House is in a perfect location, within walking distance to trendy restaurants and boutiques on Thames, all the hustle and bustle of the waterfront, Easton Beach, and the Cliff Walk. I had a wonderful stay here and Robert could not have been a better host. He offered great tips on things to see and do in the area, and most importantly (for me personally), he was an amazing chef. He whipped up delicious and creative brunches (one example: french toast with beet mole and i think goat cheese) to serve to us out on the patio and also provided us with homemade snacks (which he brought up to our room). Robert and his son were great hosts, the house was beautiful, our room was very thoughtfully decorated, and we had a wonderful stay.

Joseph Thomas Nally '50, August 4, 1928 - June 30, 2014. He was born in Los Angeles, the second son of Catherine Byrne Nally and Patrick Aloysius Nally. Joe was fiercely loyal to his family and friends, was immensely proud of his country and of his Irish American heritage. Joe attended Mount Carmel High School in Los Angeles. Dedicated and determined, he was elected student body president and also played football, track, and baseball throughout. After being awarded "All-City" honors in both track and baseball, Joe was awarded a full scholarship to Santa Clara University. In the fall of 1946, Joe moved north and immediately began his "second career" as everyone's favorite Bronco. He was a proud member of the class of 1950. Joe played shortstop on the Bronco team, and following graduation he was drafted by the Yankee organization. After playing a season, Joe was called to serve his country in Korea as an Army First Lieutenant. A year later, he returned home, began his insurance career and married Teresa Bannan, to whom he remained devoted for the remainder of his life. Joe had a storied career in the insurance business that led to great success and enabled him to pursue his life's great passion: being a "man for others." Joe never turned down a plea for help, a person in need, or an organization in turmoil. The Carmelites at Santa Teresita, the Little Sisters of the Poor, Dolores Mission, The Doheny Foundation, Santa Clara University, Loyola Marymount University, Good Shepherd Center, Verbum Dei, Mayfield Senior School and Loyola High School are but a few examples of his continued support, largess and devotion. We will miss the twinkle in his eye, his unique sense of humor, his thoughtful and often repeated advice and his ever-present "ticky" lists. Joe is survived by his wife of 61 years, Terry Nally, his children and their spouses, Patrick Nally '78, J.D. '82, '82 and Mary Nally '78, Mary Ternan '83 and Ed Ternan '83, as well as his six grandchildren, Joseph Nally '10, Catherine Nally '12, and Daniel Nally, Edward, Teresa and Charles Ternan, two brothers-in-law and their families, and numerous nieces and nephews, all of whom will be forever grateful for Papa's love, humor and counsel.

The family moved to Los Altos in 1934 where Jim and his brothers and sisters worked on the apricot orchard, and tended to livestock. This gave Jim and family a work ethic which enabled the entire family to become reliable, responsible and successful. Jim graduated from St. Ignatius High School in S.F. and joined the Army Air Corps and as a 2nd Lt., Jim navigated B-17's during WWII. After the war, Jim attended Santa Clara University and after graduating was called back to service from 1950-53 to fight in Korea as a 1st Lt. and navigator. After his service, he went to work for Equitable and in a few years became district mgr. Later Jim became a real estate broker selling recreation property and then business opportunities. In 1974 Jim purchased Clarke's Charcoal Broiler and was still boss at 90 yrs. old. Jim had many passions and talents. He loved to play bridge, cribbage, boating, fishing and also loved taking his family camping and water skiing. Jim joined the Elks Lodge, Palo Alto and was a member since 1946, he also belonged to numerous clubs, and became Pres. of St. Joseph's Mens Club. Jim's faith in God was as strong as his will, and his success at everything he did. Jim was also instrumental in the beginning days of High School Sports Focus and hosted the show at his restaurant along with Channel 36. Jim was many things to many people and will be missed by his large family and many friends.

What does it take to create a healthy work environment?
by Carolyn Dewa, Professor of Psychiatry at the University of Toronto and Head of CAMH's Centre for Research on Employment and Workplace Health
As an economist, I'm often asked questions about efficiency. As in: How do we do more with less?
But we often forget that we're not asking more of machines – we're asking more of people.
In our quest for efficiency, we can inadvertently create inefficiency by producing an environment ripe for burnout and high chronic stress. (See: What can we do to stop physician burnout in Canada?)
One clear way of increasing efficiency is to ensure that we have a physically and psychologically healthy work force. The first step towards this goal involves creating a healthy and well-equipped work environment.
A mountain of research (See: Healthy Work: Stress, Productivity, and the Reconstruction of Working Life; Fourth European Working Conditions Survey; Examination of factors associated with the mental health status of principals) tells us that feeling supported by co-workers and supervisors, finding meaning in our jobs, being trusted to finish our work and being accountable for reasonable deadlines all contribute to our mental health.
While we know these things to be true, the question remains – how do we do all this with limited time and resources?

Zeljko Kujundzic and the Early Years of the Kootenay School of the Arts
Curator: Jessica Demers
August 16 to November 9, 2014
Opening Reception: Friday, August 15, 7-9pm (Member's Preview at 6:30)
Image: Zeljko Kujundzic paints while students look on, Circa 1959, Touchstones Nelson Archives
It was 1960. Zeljko Kujundzic, a fifth generation artist from former Yugoslavia, was hired as the first principal of the newly formed Nelson School of Fine Arts' three-year diploma program. Over the next 4 years, Kujundzic would impart his rigorous European "studio method" of instruction in which teacher and student work together on commissioned projects, much like the Renaissance model of apprenticeship. Kujundzic emphasized the use of local materials, practical skills in a wide array of mediums and the study of literature and philosophy to enrich cultural depth. Students would learn to make their own art materials using locally sourced clay for sculpture, mineral pigments for mixing paints and metals for jewelery. The school began to attract a diverse cross section of students, from hippies and homemakers to young artists from across Canada and abroad, drawn in part by Kujundzic's reputation as well as the breadth of the courses offered.
Although he was only there for a relatively short period of time, his influence marked the beginnings not only of KSA, but perhaps also of Nelson's re-invention as the "Best Little Arts Town" in Canada. Join us for this retrospective exhibit that surveys Kujundzic's diverse artistic achievements, and traces the beginnings of the now iconic Kootenay School of the Arts.

Image: Doukhobor woman stands in front of burnt house, Circa 1950's, Touchstones Nelson Archives
The Sons of Freedom, a distinct group of Doukhobors based mainly in Krestova BC, gained worldwide attention during the early 1950's. They burned their own houses to demonstrate rejection of material wealth and private property, and marched naked as a form of spiritual cleansing and protest. When a public demonstration was planned, photographer Jane Sloan often showed up before the police. A trusted outsider, she was invited by the Sons of Freedom to document their cultural activities and protests, and her evocative photographs quickly spread throughout Canada and parts of Europe via newspapers and publications such as Life Magazine.
Selected from the larger Stevens Studio collection in the Touchstones Nelson Archives, the photographs in this exhibit document a compelling chapter in the history of the Sons of Freedom Doukhobors, as well as our community. Although much of the collection has been made available for viewing online (at http://www.flickr.com/photos/touchstonesnelson), this will be the first time the photographs have been exhibited publicly since they appeared in media outlets over six decades ago.

Chip, Chip, Cherrio../;I am from UK, yes same place as the pop band One Direction, and people always get things wrong. We do not say "Chip Chip Cherrio" when we leave. British people find that annoying when Americans over use it, at least I do.
We enjoy tea, I prefer coffee myself, and crumpets. Also fish and chips. (The chips are not actually chips though. They're french fries. Bummer, right?)
