CPM project management is a technique that allows the project manager to effectively plan a large and complex project from start to finish. By performing a critical path analysis, the project manager lays out which activities are "critical" and need to be completed before any other activities on the project can begin.
Operations management refers to the sector of a company's management that observes a business' operations and makes changes in design where necessary. The goal of the operations manager is to make the production of goods and services both efficient and effective. These managers come up with ways to use the least possible resources to make the best quality product while striving to meet the customer's expectations and requirements. Operations management is all about overseeing the process of the conversion of raw materials into the finished product or service. If you want your business to function as smoothly as possible, then you should consider implementing an operations management division.
Operations management oversees the system of operations within a company. Operations refers to the conversion of inputs such as labor, capital, and materials into goods and services. For this conversion to take place, many decisions must be made, including what to produce, how, where, and in what facility, how to train employees, how to raise the quality of a product, and how to lower expenses and improve productivity. Having an operations management team to make or, at the very least, supervise all these decisions can help create a more organized, united system of operations. Operations management ensures that no one department is working independently of another, and that all operating decisions are made cooperatively.
A sizeable portion of operations management is forecasting. Forecasting requires a manager to gauge future opportunities and make judgment calls that will help a company be more productive and streamlined with its operations. These forecasts can be qualitative or quantitative. John Kamauff's "Manager's Guide to Operations Management" describes the latter as involving a specific, quantifiable decision. Quantitative forecasts are not simply "yes, order the inventory" but "order 1,000 units." An organization can benefit from these judgment calls and from having them be issued by an operations manager who, by virtue of his or her post, has access to the entire system of operations.
Competitive Advantage
Operations management workers have a hand in all the factors that influence a consumer's buying decision, from product type to employee training. They are therefore in an ideal place to adjust the operating process as needed to maintain a competitive edge. Operations managers remain aware of new companies entering the market and can address their own company's system in response.
Financial and Risk Management
Operations management includes financial and risk management within its scope. Operations managers may oversee an organization's quarterly or annual budget, create financial reports, and monitor cash flow. They may also communicate with legal counsel and attend to any legal problems the company may face, as well as handle insurance policies. This broad reach allows them to ensure the company's efficiency and effectiveness.
Complex Analysis
Business operations involve a complex array of overlapping processes. Useful advice takes into account the size of the business, the industry in which the business operates, and management's deviation from best practices recognized as standards for similar companies. Written advice without direct assessment of the existing management structure can lead a business astray.
Unique Business Culture
Every business has a unique personality and a company culture that impacts the overall style of management. Often, a company's perceived culture is one of its greatest intangible assets that attracts talent and generates a reputation as a great place to work. Any operational advice affecting management can have an unanticipated negative impact on the company's work atmosphere, particularly when the advice is provided outside of a direct evaluation.
Interior Processes
A company's operational structure is the arterial network that supplies the body of the business with what it needs to function. While it can be helpful to use outside operational tools from a theoretical standpoint, it is as important to customize the advice for the business as it is for a person to obtain a correct diagnosis from a doctor before self-medicating.
Disgruntled Employees
Anything that impacts the way employees work has the potential to disrupt their sense of accomplishment and satisfaction with their jobs. Using a static document to evaluate systems can create concern over retroactive performance standards and unrealistic expectations. It is often advisable to involve employees in the change process from the beginning and make the design of the tools to be used an interactive activity.
Inadequate Capacity
In business, case studies analyzing decisions made by individual companies drive the development of models, standards, and accepted practices. Based on this input, templates and guides present advice that is in line with normal scenarios. Every business has its own unique set of circumstances, however, and such tools are only useful if there is someone on staff who understands the reasoning behind the tool and can customize it to meet the company's particular needs. Small companies sometimes lack the expertise to put these tools to the best use.
How Much is an Operations Manager?
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the mean annual wage for operations managers was $107,970 in May 2008, with a range from $45,410 to $37,020. Operations management is earned as a degree in most educational institutions.
Training Costs and Employment
Training costs for an operations manager may be small at first. The fact that operations managers are trained through educational programs helps reduce the cost of training initially. However, additional training for new operations, such as a department of business and finance, may be required. Continued education may also be something your company would want to support by sending the operations manager back to school for a higher level of education. Costs vary for schooling depending on the institution.
Operations management oversees the inner workings of your company's production of goods and services. This small sector of management adds a greater level of organization to your business' production capacity and can increase its efficiency and effectiveness. An operations manager's keen insight into the way your company works allows him to make accurate forecasts of the materials necessary for production. Equally valuable is an operations manager's insight into your competition and their productive capacity. Every business is unique and has its own culture and particular processes. When searching for an operations manager, make sure that he fits your business' needs and tendencies. Though they do not come cheap, operations managers can end up saving you a lot more money in the long run.
Operations management is an area in the field of management. It focuses on overseeing, redesigning, and designing business operations for a particular business. An operations manager ensures that business operations are running smoothly and makes sure that the business is spending less while making more.
Operations management also focuses on meeting customer requirements. If you are starting a business, it may be wise to hire an operations manager, at least when you are new to the business. The operations manager is important because they work to shape your business into an effective and well-managed machine. This individual can also make tactical decisions and helps carry out strategies for growth in size and profit.
Operations management is most commonly found in development, production, and manufacturing. Individuals who have gone through the programs for operations management should be versed in general management, production systems, maintenance programs and management, production control, labor relations, and more, as they will be intertwined with most aspects of your business.
When looking for an operations manager, it is important to find someone with people skills, knowledge of the various systems you will be using, and someone with a creative outlook. These individuals are often able to provide positive insight to your business while it grows.

TOKYO, Oct. 24 (UPI) — A spokesman for Olympus said the Japanese camera and medical equipment company was unaware the FBI was investigating its 2008 purchase of Gyrus Group.
Olympus is well known as a producer of digital cameras, but the bulk of its revenues comes from its more obscure medical equipment business, The New York Times reported Monday.
In 2008, it took over British firm Gyrus Group with advisement from two Japanese bankers, Hajime Sagawa and Akio Nakagawa, who set up their firm Axes America with an office in Stamford, Conn., and one in the Graybar Building near the Grand Central Terminal in New York City.
The Times describes the bankers as unassuming, unexciting, knock-about finance professionals who were just about to close up shop — with Nakagawa about to retire — when an old connection came to fruition.
One or more members of the board at Olympus hired Axes to consult on the deal and, when it was done, the two bankers, who earned a mediocre living from a Wall Street point of view, were suddenly very wealthy.
The firm received 5 percent of the deal's $2 billion value, but were then remarkably given "a mixture of cash, share options and warrants," a PricwaterhouseCoopers report on the deal said.
They ended up with fees amounting to $687 million or about 30 times the average fee for that kind of work, the Times said.
Normally, a firm would expect a fee of 1 percent of the deal. The fee in this case amounted to 36 percent of the value of the deal.
"This is such an extraordinary deviation from normal fees … . No one would have entered into this transaction if they were showing good business judgment," said Jeffrey Manns, an associate professor at George Washington University Law School and an expert in securities law.
Olympus is now in chaos. It fired Chief Executive Officer Michael Woodford, who said he was close to exposing the incredible fee.
On Friday, the firm said its payments were "appropriate," but also said it would begin an investigation of its mergers using an independent team.

Problem with booting up pc and occasional crashes
I've had a couple of problems (may be the same problem?) develop on my windows 7 pc
Started with occasional freezes which always seemed to be when I used Chrome. This developed into crashes were I'd get flickering cyan magenta etc bars on some of the screen, again mainly with chrome but then also with other programs. Once this got bad enough (ie several times a day) I did some maintenance - cleared up the registry and defragged it, checked the disk with no problems, removed most of the programs I was no longer using and cleared a lot of crud off the disk. This made the problem drastically improve, the number of crashes dropped right off. In fact it's not crashed for a couple of days
More annoying I've also started having problems booting up. I would get a black slightly flickering screen when I turned everything on. I can hear all the windows boot up sounds ok. Up until a few days ago if I booted it up again everything was then fine and windows started ok. And if I had to do a reboot during the day that was fine too. It was only happening when I booted the pc up first thing in the morning (unfortunately I can't keep it running all the time). However it now takes several boot ups to get working. Sometimes unplugging the monitor from the back of the pc seems to help or that might just be coincidence. This problem hasn't got better with trying things with the pc.
Unfortunately I've no system restore points before all this started happening. I had wondered about doing a windows repair and / or restore but I though I would see if anyone had any other advice first

Windows 7 ultimate 64-bit
Well; if you have the original windows 7 disc; i would try booting off of that disc and doing a repair if it will let you. Also, before doing a repair off the disc; i would click start, programs, accessories, system tools, then right click on command prompt and select run as administrator. Then type sfc /scannow to let the system scan for any system structure violations which can affect the way windows functions.

Win7 x 6 PC's
If you've used Registry Cleaners on Windows 7 besides CCleaner then you've probably ruined the OS. There's nothing worse for it than this scamware.
The most important thing you can do to assure good performance is have a perfect install as compiled in Clean Reinstall - Factory OEM Windows 7 on adequate tested hardware. The tutorial will familarize you with the tools and methods which work best for Windows 7 based on tens of thousands of installs we've helped with here since beta.
If you'd like to go over the present install, then work through these Troubleshooting Steps for Windows 7 which will also help optimize and familarize you with the tools and methods which work best. AVG is not recommended by anyone here since it bloated up and never slimmed back down again.

The Texas A&M Aggies could be in some big trouble with under 12 minutes remaining in their game against Auburn, after quarterback Johnny Manziel got injured during a scramble. Manziel came down directly on his throwing shoulder and had to make his way to the sidelines.
Here is a GIF of the play where Manziel was initially injured, via GIFD Sports:
After making his way to the sideline, Manziel made an attempt to throw the ball and see how his shoulder was feeling, but he stopped himself from making the throw and told the coaching staff that he was unable to throw.
Manziel then made his way to the locker room for further evaluation.
Check out Manziel attempting to warm up on the sideline before shutting himself down:
UPDATE: Manziel returned after a trip to the locker room.

text: I have been taking a salsa class at a local community college for about three months now. It's fun, social and pretty good exercise. I am in Level 2, and when you get up to Level 4, you have to teach the class a salsa move at some point in the semester. Occasionally we have students who we've never seen much go into the circle to teach us a move. Tonight there was a guy who we've never really seen, and he gets into the middle of the circle with a girl, and says,"Okay, so this move I'm going to teach, it's really good, so you might want to take out your cell phones to record it." My partner and I look at each other with a puzzled look on our face but anticipate this "great move." The student then says,"With this one, you must have the right moment and the right time," as he gets down on one knee and asks his girlfriend standing in front of him, to marry him. She, of course, says yes, and they have a long, sweet embrace while everyone in the class cheers and screams. All of us girls collectively swoon and say, "AWWWW, OH MY GOD!" It's hard to not be affected viscerally by this type of raw love and such a special moment in these strangers' lives. He then said,"We met in this class four years ago and here we are now. You all are like our family." I don't know these two, but I'm honored to be witness to this moment. These moments reaffirm my faith in love, and my faith that I will meet the person I'm meant to be with. Let's just hope he dances salsa.

Rate my $2500 Build
Hey guys, I'm going to be building a PC next year in January when Sandy Bridge comes out. This will be my first every PC I build so I'd like some thoughts on it and how I can improve it. This machine will be used for gaming, music production and a lot of HD Video editing. The parts are in AUD by the way.
Case: Antec 1200 - $214
Card Reader: Any card reader - $20
CPU: i7 2600k - around $400
GPU: AMD 6970 - around $500
Hard Drive 1: Samsung F4 2TB - $100
Hard Drive 2: Samsung F4 2TB - $100
HDTV Tuner - Leadtek Dual Tuner - $50
Memory - 8GB G Skill Ripjaws (1600Mhz) - $160
Motherboard - Gigabyte Sandybridge Model - around $230
Optical Drive - LiteOn Bluray Writer - $120
PSU - Corsair TX-850 - $178
Sound Card - Asus Xonar Essence STX - $190
OS - Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit - $130
Obviously the 6970 and i7 2600k aren't out yet so I'll be buying them in January. Overall though, for mainly gaming and professional media editing, how does this PC look? Is there anything I should change?

Why wait for the Sandy Bridge? New technology could and probably will be unstable at least for the first 3-6 months. Also, you could get a 4tb drive instead of the 2*2tb drives currently suggested to save space.

Yes, I am proven wrong by the i7 series.
Seeing as the development for the Sandy Bridge architecture began way back in 2005 it will have had approximately 6 years time to have imperfections ironed out.
Nevertheless, it will be insanely expensive at the time of release, just as the i7 was, and 3-6 months later it will become affordable.

Windows XP, Windows 7 Ultimate x64
I see money is not an issue
If that is the case, I would add two things:
1. another SSD - to create a RAID for OS installation (OS on SSD = fast; OS on SSD RAID = EXTREMLY fast)
2. OS - I would choose Windows 7 Ultimate x64 or Professional x64. Home editions of MS OS's tend to be too cut-off or limited (just compare XP Home and XP Professional), so saving a few bucks in this category can backfire at you later, specially if you are planning a machine for professional usage.

Windows 7 Ultimate x64
What about a monitor? With a new build I would certainly consider a bigger and better monitor...considering you look at the monitor all the time.
Doing a raid ssd for th os is pretty pointless. You need random io..not raw throughput. The benefits of going to raid from a single ssd would be minute.
|My System Specs

How about using two SSDs in hardware raid 0 and installing the OS on them? Only an extra $140, so that wouldn't be too much trouble.
You could get windows 7 home premium as an OEM version if you buy it at the same time as you get your parts which would save you a lot. Netplus sells windows 7 home premium x64 for $108 as an OEM.
You could save a bit by going for a 750W psu instead of an 850W. There is no need for 850W just yet.

Hey, it's been a pretty good year for food books! Among the hundreds of new cookbooks, essay collections, and food memoirs that we read, here's a handful that really stood out:
It's been a long two years since Julie & Julia gave gastronomes their moment of Hollywood glory, and since then, we've had to make do with scraps of reality TV and the occasional documentary.

Many people rely on their IRAs and 401(k) plans to help them pay for their retirement years - and for good reason, because IRAs and 401(k)s are excellent retirement-savings vehicles. But once you reach the point where you are contributing the maximum amount to your IRA and 401(k) each year, what else can you do to build resources for retirement? You might want to consider annuities and cash value insurance.

You may have heard that "real estate is always a good investment." However, that's a "blanket" statement and not terribly useful. In fact, it raises many questions: Does real estate really go up in value all the time? What type of real estate should I invest in? What percentage of my portfolio should be devoted to real estate? Once you know these answers, you'll be in a much better position to decide if, and how, you should incorporate real estate into your investment picture.

Like most people, you probably gravitate toward things that you're familiar with and that you like. If you enjoy classical music, your shelves may be full of Beethoven and Ravel. If you love pasta, your cupboards may be bulging with spaghetti and ravioli.

(pen/tablet) Error in MS office after reinstalling Windows 7
I have a HP touchsmart tm2 tablet laptop. I recently reinstalled Windows 7 after which I installed all the drivers from HP support website. The Wacom pen and touchscreen work with everything except MS Office 2010 (Onenote, powerpoint, word)
When I open Onenote I get this error message...
imgur: the simple image sharer
This didn't happen with any of the programs before the reinstall they all worked perfectly fine.
I've tried uninstalling MS Office and then reinstalling the drivers and then reinstalling MS office but that still doesn't work.
I've tried installing MS Office 2007 as well but that didn't work either.
Another thing is that when I go into control panel to calibrate the screen, I get an error for that as well.

(NASHVILLE SKYLINE is a column by CMT/CMT.com Editorial Director Chet Flippo.)
It's always encouraging
when a worthy singer-songwriter who's been laboring in the relative wilderness for years suddenly gets attention by a much
wider audience.
In this case, it's a housewife and mother of five who lives in a small town near Boston. She's married
to a plumber and has been touring and gigging on weekends in the family van.
Lori McKenna has Faith Hill to thank for
getting her a breakthrough to a new audience. The trail to Hill, though, wound through singer-songwriter Mary Gauthier, who
passed along McKenna's songs to the late Harlan Howard's widow -- song publisher Melanie Howard -- who got the songs to Hill.
The latter decided at the last minute to include three McKenna songs on her new CD, Fireflies. "If You Ask," "Stealing
Kisses" and the title song were frequently singled out for praise in reviews of the album.
And now Hill's record label,
Warner Bros. Nashville, has decided to release McKenna's new CD Bittertown. And it's very worthwhile.
had been writing songs since her early teens and singing around the house but did not begin performing in public until age
27, when her family's encouragement spurred her to try singing at open mike nights around Boston. The response heartened her,
and she self-released her debut CD, Paper Wings & Halo, in March 1998. It became a Boston-area favorite, and she
appeared at Lilith Fair and the Newport Folk Festival in 1999.
Then a small label released her Pieces of Me
(which included "Fireflies") in 2001, and she followed with The Kitchen Tapes in 2003. She literally recorded the latter
by herself in her kitchen, accompanied only by her guitar, complete with ringing phones and the drone of a TV.
new Bittertown is her first with full band backing (with Buddy Miller on backing vocals on "Bible Song"), and it's
an impressive major label debut. Her songs encompass a painterly world of small-town dimensions that's populated by people
with bigger aspirations but with a realistic sense of the limitations they face. The mythical Bittertown is every American
town that's facing a dead end because of failing economics, because of job losses, because of local businesses closing down,
jobs being outsourced outside the U.S. The people's lives are limited and determined by forces outside their control. It's
about how those forces shape their own personal families and relationships and jobs. In other words, it's about working class
people who are living the end of the American Dream.
"Bible Song" is an anthemic expression of unspoken voices from
the exurbs, tales of the walking dead, of those chained to poverty. The story is as bleak as it is expressive: "They marry
young in these parts/They work the factories/So I ran as fast as I could/Through the tall grass and the midnight woods/So
nobody would sing some Bible song over me."
Also covered by Sara Evans on her new CD, Real Fine Place, "Bible
Song" has deservedly gotten wide attention for its plain-spokenness. In her liner notes to Real Fine Place, Evans wrote
about "Bible Song" thusly: "I see the most depressing town that you've ever been to, where there's only one thing to do, and
that's go to work at the factory, get married and have kids. This girl was so afraid that she was going to die there. 'Sing
a Bible song over me' obviously means her funeral. She just wasn't going to put up with that life, and so she ran. Lori McKenna
is very cool. She writes really differently ... very abstract. The song means something to her, but you have to interpret
it in your own way and figure out your own way to relate to it."
The song "One Man" especially encapsulates the suburban
sprawl overtaking the landscape and what it means for an individual and the resultant family. She conjures up an entire world
in a few lines: "They're building up big houses/Back behind the school/Where we used to drink our beer on Friday nights/And
pretend that we were lovers in your car/We can't afford to live there/So we drive on past their marble and glass/Hoping that
this blue collar town of ours/Won't ever lose its balls."
Her musical world is not entirely stark. "One Kiss Goodnight"
is relatively happy. In "Mr. Sunshine," McKenna finds solace even in the midst of "hard times" and "gray skies." "Stealing
Kisses" captures the lost years of lost love that turn to ash. "Monday Afternoon" begins with a first line that presages a
damn good country song: "It's Monday afternoon and I am drinking again." The song "The Ledge" assumes that ledges are for
jumping off: "Once you're up on the ledge/There's only one way down/So I'll keep you up there/Where you're safe and sound."
It's tempting to quote all her lyrics, as evocative as they are. This album amounts to a master class in songwriting.
an urgent vocal delivery full of rich vibrato and a full load of messages, McKenna is a striking new country music voice.
Her clear, frank alto voice is not perfect -- thankfully -- but is riveting, and she is clearly worth serious attention.
her Kitchen Tapes album, McKenna wrote, "The recordings are far from perfect, but they were never meant to be. I'd
like to think that their imperfections add to their beauty, and I hope you will, too." Amen to that.

The Joy of the SaintsFATHER GEORGE W. RUTLER
The culminating evidence of sanctity is a joy that is not of this world.
The culminating evidence of sanctity is a joy that is not of this world. Saints always suffer in various ways as a consequence of their heroic virtue, which pits them against the "wickedness and snares of the Devil," but there is no such thing as a sad saint. The saints are proof of the existence of God and his mercy by their very lives, which are testimonies greater even than miracles or the logic of natural theology. On Divine Mercy Sunday, the Church rejoices and publicly recognizes by infallible decree the holiness of Saint John XXIII and Saint John Paul II. These are the first popes to be canonized since St. Pius X, who died in 1914 and was enrolled in the calendar of saints in 1954.
Every saint is different in personality and in ways of serving the Lord, and for that reason certain ones will strike a sympathetic chord more readily than others. Some would have been easy to live with, and others decidedly difficult, but failure to rejoice in their sanctity is a judgment against us rather than against them. There is a line no less perceptive for having been mistakenly attributed to Plato: "We can easily forgive the child who is afraid of the dark, but the real tragedy is the adult who is afraid of the light." Sanctifying grace enables the Light of Christ to shine not on, but through souls. "It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me" (Galatians 2:20).
The Paschal candle having been lit, the joy of Easter continues, and as it does the Divine Mercy gives us new saints to help us through the valleys and hills of our days on earth. The motto of St. John XXIII was Oboedientia et Pax and that of St. John Paul II was Totus Tuus. Obedience to Christ brings peace, and if we give all we are to his mother, we will be able to rejoice with the saints.

Taylor Traenkle, a junior at Division Avenue High School recently received the MVP award for the Nassau County Varsity Hockey League Association.
Traenkle, who plays no. 9 for the Levittown Ice Falcons, led the way averaging 2.8 points a game with a total of 25 goals and 23 assists in just 17 games.
Right off of Sea Cliff Ave. in Glen Cove, next door to the Sea Cliff train station, is the Robbie Wagner Tournament Training Center, a facility where children and adults alike have been coming to learn tennis skills for more than a decade, with several prodigies having gone pro. The center will host a Level 3 USTA Eastern Challenger this weekend, from July 25-27.
Tennis professional Scott Axler of Huntington runs all of the big junior tennis tournaments out of the facility, about 25 a year, including four national USTA events.
"The main thing in a level 3, is you want the kids to have a great experience," says Axler. "We want them to have a positive experience; tennis should be fun. The tournament provides a good practice and the kids who get better move up."
Runners and walkers from Levittown and all over Long Island and beyond are invited to join in the fun on one of the most unusual 5 Kilometer courses on Long Island at the Saturday, August 9th Lynn, Gartner, Dunne & Covello Sands Point Sprint.
The Run presents the Long Island running community with an opportunity to traverse a unique combination of paved paths and runner-friendly woodland trails at the Sands Point Preserve.

Immature love says: I love you because I need you. Mature love says: I need you because I love you.
Progress is impossible without change, and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything.
To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.
The greatest happiness you can have is knowing that you do not necessarily require happiness.
Happiness is the only sanction of life; where happiness fails, existence remains a mad and lamentable experience.
If there be any truer measure of a man than by what he does, it must be by what he gives.

Business Partnering
As the pressure to reduce costs and demonstrate real added value in critical functions such as HR, Finance and IS grows, functional leaders have increasingly turned their attention to building the capability of their "business partners" and the organisation in which they work. These partners (increasingly, "players" who contribute to the leadership of the business) have to understand business challenges, make the business case for key investments and be skilled at intervening to add measurable value. In some cases this role shift is a "bridge too far" and business partner capability needs to be seen as an organisation development challenge, not solely a management development one.
Here are a few examples of organisation critical challenges that we have worked alongside our clients to tackle:
- Establishing a new Organisation & People planning process aligned with the business plan to make HR Directors accountable for their added value contributions
- Assessing business partner capabilities across a population of FD's and creating a change road map to deliver the required shifts in behaviour and performance
- Working with an IT leadership team to develop the role and contributions of business unit IT Directors
- Developing the HR business partners role and capability across a global corporation
We work as expert guides with our clients to:
- Review and assess current business partner capability
- Create the functional change agenda, plans and priorities
- Design and facilitate development programmes and conferences
- Design and implement new functional planning and control processes
- Coach functional leaders on their role and behaviour to achieve specific performance or change goals
- Advise on functional changes, review progress and measure impact
The result of our work with functional leaders in this area is sustainable change in business partner capability to drive performance and deliver strategic change.

Cringely Predicts IBM Will Shed 78% of US Employees By 2015

Third Position writes "Cringely with more predictions about IBM: 'The direct impetus for this column is IBM's internal plan to grow earnings-per-share (EPS) to $20 by 2015. The primary method for accomplishing this feat, according to the plan, will be by reducing U.S. employee head count by 78 percent in that time frame.' So far, Cringely's pronouncements about IBM have been approximately true, even if he missed the exact numbers and timeframes. Is he right this time?"

Mr. Speaker, let us all salute Neil Armstrong, Ed Aldrin and Mike Collins and pray for a safe splashdown in the Pacific on Thursday. But let us also say a prayer for Roger Chaffee, Gus Grissom and Ed White and pay tribute to them for the heroic contributions they made so that Eagle might land on the moon and return to planet earth.
Statement by Representative Gerald R. Ford regarding the Apollo 11 space flight, placed in the body of the Congressional Record of Tuesday, July 22, 1969.
Let us all salute Neil Armstrong, Ed Aldrin, Mike Collins, Roger Chaffee, Gus Grissom and Ed White.

Apollo 11 - This Week in History
Tomorrow is the 44th anniversary of the Apollo 11 lunar landing. On July 20, 1969, Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin became the first men to walk on the moon.
Soon after their historic steps, they received a phone call from President Nixon in the Oval Office. To celebrate the occasion, we're teaming up with the NASA History Office to tweet out the lunar call between the President and astronauts.
Tomorrow, July 20, at 12pm ET, follow #LunarCall on Twitter. @OurPresidents and @NASAHistory will be playing the parts of President Nixon and Astronauts Armstrong and Aldrin.

For the Apollo 11 space flight, President Nixon's speechwriter William Safire composed this statement on July 18, 1969. It was to be used in the event the astronauts were stranded on the Moon and could not return to Earth.
Neil Armstrong later said, "The unknowns were rampant" and "there were just a thousand things to worry about."
Fortunately, the speech as was never used, and this Saturday will be the 44th anniversary of the Apollo 11 lunar landing. After astronauts Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin walked on the moon, President Nixon phoned them for "an interplanetary conversation."
On July 20, The Presidential Libraries and NASA's History Office are celebrating the Apollo 11 anniversary by tweeting out the lunar phone call between the President and astronauts. We'll be tweeting from @OurPresidents and @NASAHistory.

This week we're counting down to our Thursday space program happening in partnership with NASA, The Smithsonian Air and Space Museum, and the Presidential Libraries of the National Archives.
On July 20, 1969, President Richard Nixon used this green telephone in the Oval Office to talk to the Apollo 11 astronauts while they were on the surface of the moon.
Now you can see this same phone on display in the National Archives in Washington, D.C. This morning at 11 a.m., we will host a ribbon cutting ceremony to officially open the display "Nixon and the U.S. Space Program," which will feature rarely seen documents, photographs, and artifacts that represent milestones in manned spaceflight during President Nixon's administration.
It's also the 100th anniversary of the birth of Richard Nixon. Stop by during this centennial year and learn about Nixon's support for the lunar program and his efforts to improve Cold War relations through a cooperative space exploration program.

Le Monocle was a well-know lesbian bar located in Montmartre section of Paris, France that was open from the 1920s thru the early 1940s.
During the 1920s, Paris gained a reputation for the variety of its nighttime options and for its free and easy attitude toward life in general. As a result, many gay and lesbian nightclubs opened and flourished. Among these was Le Monocle, which is credited with being one of the first, and certainly the most famous of lesbian nightclubs. It was opened by Lulu de Montparnasse in the Montmartre area, which at that time was the main gathering place for Parisian lesbians who were often seen at Montmartre's outdoor cafes or dancing at the Moulin Rouge. Le Monocle's scene was describe by Florence Tamagne as, "All the women there dressed as men, in Tuxedos, and wore their hair in a bob."
The name Le Monocle derived from a fad at the time where women who identified as lesbian would sport a monocle to indicate sexual preference. The writer Colette once obsevered the fad by describing women in the area as "often affecting a monocle and a white carnation in the buttonhole." (as seen in the photo above of Le Monocle)
I remember very clearly when the news about Matthew Shepard broke 13 years ago. I was a senior in college, 3 years into a wonderful relationship, and finally out to almost everyone in my life, and yet every time I went home to my extremely tiny southern town I feared what my openness would mean for my safety. Hearing about Matthew brought that fear into stark reality and I cried. I could not imagine then where we are today, both in the advancements that we have made and all the work that needs to be done.
Matthew's death was what triggered so many of my generation to get involved in advocacy and none of us should ever forget what happened that day in 1998.
Thirteen years ago tonight Matthew Shepard was lured to a rural road, tied up, crucifixion style, pistol whipped then left for dead, simply because he was gay. He wasn't found for nearly a day, still barely alive in the 30 degree weather, the only part of his face not covered by blood was where the tears had streamed down. The attack on Matthew, and his subsequent death a few days later, was a galvanizing moment for the gay community. It was one of only a handful of moments I can think of, in the twenty years that I've been out, that something changed in all of us, nationwide, at a much larger, meta level.
Within a day of hearing of the story I set up a Web site to help coordinate news about his attack. It was called Matthew Shepard Online Resources. The site, and its accompanying bulletin board, quickly became the main organizing point for our community and our allies, and for a good year it advocated for amending the US' already existing hate crimes law to include gender, disability and sexual orientation. The Republicans blocked legislation, and it wouldn't become law for another eleven years.
Noah Baron from the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism has a very nice post up about Matthew's attack and his legacy:
It is necessary to speak out - as Jews, as Americans, as human beings - against the ugliness that reared its head that October day 13 years ago. No person deserves to die the way Matthew Shepard did. No person should have to live in fear simply because of who they are. To speak out - to decry this violence, to oppose bigotry, to take a step closer to a better world - is not merely an option; it is a fundamental obligation. As it is written, "Do not stand idly by while your neighbor bleeds" (Leviticus 19:16).
It is not enough, then, to simply refrain from homophobia or refrain from violence. Rather, we must speak out, to stop the violence, to stanch the blood of our neighbors. Matthew Shepard was not simply a victim at the hands of his attackers; he was the victim at the hands a society that sent the message that who he was as a person was wrong. As Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel once said, "Few are guilty, but all are responsible." We are all responsible; every additional week that we do not work for justice, every day that passes in which we do not imbue in our children an ethic of acceptance and uprightness, every moment of our silence is an act of violence against our LGBT brothers and sisters.
As the Mishna tells us, "It is not our responsibility to finish the task, but we may not refrain from starting it." It may be that we will never eradicate homophobia - or Islamophobia, or transphobia, or anti-Semitism - in our lifetimes; the task itself often feels overwhelming. But that is no excuse, for silence is not an option.
Rudolf Brazda, believed last surviving gay concentration camp prisoner, dies at 98
By Associated Press,
BERLIN — Rudolf Brazda, believed to be the last surviving person who was sent to a Nazi concentration camp because of his homosexuality, has died, a German gay rights group said Thursday. He was 98.
The Berlin branch of the Lesbian and Gay Association, or LSVD, said that Brazda died on Wednesday. It didn't give details of the location or cause of death.
Brazda was sent to the Nazis' Buchenwald concentration camp in August 1942 and held there until its liberation by U.S. forces in 1945.
Nazi Germany declared homosexuality an aberration that threatened the German race, and convicted some 50,000 homosexuals as criminals. An estimated 10,000 to 15,000 gay men were deported to concentration camps, where few survived.
When a memorial to the Nazis' gay victims was unveiled in Berlin in 2008, the LSVD said the last ex-prisoner that it knew of had died three years earlier. But the group said it was then contacted by Brazda, who visited the memorial at its invitation and became an honorary member.
Brazda was born in 1913. He grew up in the eastern German town of Meuselwitz and repeatedly ran into trouble with Nazi authorities over his homosexuality before being sent to Buchenwald.
Brazda lived in the Alsace region of eastern France after World War II. Earlier this year, he was named a knight in the country's Legion of Honor.
Berlin's openly gay mayor, Klaus Wowereit, who met Brazda in 2008, said he learned with regret of his death.
"He is an example of how important the work of remembrance is for our future," Wowereit said. "Fewer and fewer people can give information about repression under the Nazi dictatorship authentically and from their own experience."
Why LGBT History Is Important by David Mixner
An enormous amount of energy went into Governor Jerry Brown's office in California surrounding legislation insisting that the LGBT community's struggle and history be included in text books and class room discussion. Happily, it was announced late Thursday that Brown had signed the FAIR Education Act (SB 48, Leno) into law. Congratulations to all involved in this great success, especially Senator Mark Leno, who authored the bill, and Governor Brown whose signature made the bill a reality.
A friend of mine today said he didn't understand why it was so important and shouldn't we just be included with everyone else. Well, he is right on the second point, we absolutely should be included with everyone else in the text books. And as to his first point, nothing could be more important.
There are many ways to kill people and one of the ways is to pretend that they never existed at all. Remove all traces of their journey and hope no one discovers their story. Often the issue of self-esteem among young LGBT citizens stems from the fact that they think our common denominator is just sexually based. They have no idea of their noble, proud and heroic traditions and actions of their pioneers.
LGBT history is filled with dramatic courage, dignity and determination and innovative and extraordinary leaders.
Unlike other communities that have struggled to preserve and create awareness about their history, we have seen systematic attempts to destroy and distort our journey. When we lost so many of our storytellers from AIDS, their surviving family members usually destroyed any trace that their family member was a LGBT citizen or had AIDS. Tens of thousands of stories of courage and heroism were lost. Boxes upon boxes of historical documents were burned. The shame of the families about their LGBT son or daughter made it even more difficult to keep our history intact.
In addition, we have organized groups now attempting to quash any positive role models, stories or epic struggles by this community. Some have linked us to Nazis and others insist we are nothing but pedophiles. Any positive portrayal of a community whose history is rich and full would threaten those lies.
If you feel like you have come out of nothing then you might feel you are nothing. If you think only sex is the basis of our journey then you will miss the remarkable stories that define this community as one of heroes, heroines and a very proud people.

Yesterday was the 42nd Anniversary of Stonewall. Let us not forget where it all began!
The riots following the June 28, 1969 police raid on New York City's Stonewall Inn did not start the discussion on gay rights, but it certainly became the catalyst for a national movement. When the mafia-owned bar that offered a safe place for gay men and lesbians to drink and dance was shut down as part of a citywide crackdown on homosexual life, Greenwich Village erupted into several days of riots. Violent police beat downs and open mocking of the authorities by the protesters escalated the neighborhood protest into a full-scale rally for acceptance and equality. Prior to the Stonewall riots the gay rights movement had been mostly underground; only two years later there were organized groups within every major city in America.
Stonewall's legacy lives on today. After the New York State Senate voted in favor of same sex marriage on Friday night, revelers from around the city congregated in front of the bar to celebrate.
