HANSCOM AIR FORCE BASE, Mass.
-- The Youth Employment Skills Program, or YES Program, is an on-base youth volunteer opportunity for Air Force dependents to earn money for college. The program is funded by the Air Force Aid Society and jointly administered by AFAS and Hanscom's Airman and Family Readiness Center.
The YES program, offered at select Air Force bases, offers active duty high school-aged dependents an opportunity to learn valuable work skills while having a positive impact on the base community.
"Students must be an Air Force active duty dependent son or daughter assigned to Hanscom Air Force Base," said Robert Rogers, 66th Force Support Squadron teen director. "Students must be enrolled in high school and attend full-time as a freshmen, sophomore, junior or senior. Summer periods are considered as part of the next higher grade level."
The YES Program allows all pre-certified and enrolled high school students the opportunity to "bank" volunteer dollar credits toward their post-secondary education or training at a rate of $4 per hour.
"Hours must be volunteered in an on-base position approved by the base youth director and AFAS headquarters as appropriate for the YES Program," said Linda Ambard, 66th Force Support Squadron Youth Center director.
In addition, the participating base Youth Center will "bank" base community credits at a rate of $2 for every hour volunteered per student, up to a maximum of $10,000 per program year.
The program year is defined as the 12-month period beginning June 1 through May 31.
Chapel-affiliated, thrift store, base retail operations, waitressing and Red Cross positions are excluded. Hours volunteered under a school program, community program or mandated community service program will not qualify as "banking" either student volunteer credits or base community credits under the YES Program.
"Hanscom has an opportunity to raise much-needed money for youth programs by signing up eligible teens in the YES Program," said Ambard. "That money comes back to the Youth Center to benefit a myriad of youth programs."
Students interested in the program must complete the AFAS YES Program enrollment application with a sponsoring active duty parent. Completed applications are submitted to the youth director for initial review and validation.
Once selected for a volunteer position, student and the sponsoring active duty parent must sign a written agreement stating that the student is a base volunteer, not a paid employee.
"Students are eligible to accumulate as many as 250 volunteer hours for a potential of $1,000 maximum throughout the four years of high school," said Rogers.
The AFAS will control check disbursal and verify credits earned per student and the participating base to ensure annual program maximums are not exceeded. A minimum of 25 volunteer hours, or $100 in credits, must be "banked" for any disbursement of funds.
Students must be enrolled at least part-time in an approved post-secondary institution and claim funds no later than one year from date of documented high school completion.
Students are only permitted to perform work up to eight hours per day. Credit will not be given for lunch, breaks or travel time.
For additional information on the YES Program, contact the Youth Center at 781-225-6043.

Centina Systems, a leading provider of service assurance and service quality management solutions for communications service providers (CSPs) worldwide, has announced that Columbia, Missouri-based Bluebird Network has deployed the NetOmnia™ Operations Assurance and Service Assurance solutions to manage their entire 6,000 mile network infrastructure for its connectivity offerings.
Bluebird provides Metro Ethernet, WAN Ethernet and private-line optical services in the Midwestern US, and operates the combined networks of Bluebird Media Network, Missouri Network Alliance (MNA), and Illinois Network Alliance (INA).
As the Ethernet service innovation escalates, and customers demand more in the way of Service Level Agreements (SLAs) and high-bandwidth service support, a consolidated view of the network and the ability to holistically monitor the customer experience becomes critical to maintaining customer satisfaction and market share.
Bluebird Network turned to NetOmnia™ to gain a 360-degree view into the customer network, in order to correlate its customers to specific circuits, and drill down into high-bandwidth services to understand which customers and services are being affected by issues in the network. The system also provides Bluebird the ability to troubleshoot problems quickly by suppressing symptomatic alarms and identifying the root cause of problems.
"Understanding where customer problems originate in the network is a critical aspect of providing the next generation of Internet services competitively. Enterprise communications are ever more bandwidth-intensive and complex thanks to the rise of cloud services, bring-your-own-device (BYOD) trends and more video-enabled applications," explained Michael C. Morey, President & CEO of Bluebird Network. "NetOmnia™ gave us a consolidated view of every device in Bluebird's network, along with the ability to drill down through service layers to pinpoint the cause of an issue, in real time."
NetOmnia™ Operations and Service Assurance offers carrier-class, next-generation fault management that deploys rapidly, improves network visibility and dramatically reduces the ongoing administration and maintenance.
"The ability to see outages in real-time and resolve the problems based on business priority should be at the heart of delivering any next-generation bandwidth offering," said Anand Gonuguntla, Co-Founder and CEO, Centina Systems. "NetOmnia offers a complete solution for bolstering customer satisfaction through thorough, end-to-end visibility of Ethernet circuits, leading to differentiating, world-class, yet cost-effective service management."

A question of taste
It's simple: you either have it, or you don't. Kipp goes to Jumeirah's Festival of Taste to see who's got it.
November 10, 2008 2:04 by kippreport
As with all events in Dubai, the opening ceremony for the Festival of Taste, 'All in Good Taste' was consumed by emirate's famed over-the-top factor. The women were overdressed, the buffet was massive, and when the celebrity chefs came in, they came in Dubai-style: in abras.
And that's when the circus began. As the chefs walked up the stairs leading to Al Qasr's Arboretum restaurant, they were accompanied by hostesses dressed in gowns that looked suspiciously like the nylon wedding dresses we would've dressed our Barbies in back in the mid-1980s.
But that wasn't what made us cringe. It was the screaming, the whooping and the frantic picture taking that made us question the crowd's taste.
Here's the deal: the Festival of Taste is a reputable event that Jumeirah started back in 2006. It was meant to bring together people who have a genuine appreciation for good food and wine, and to strengthen the hotel group's relationship with its best customers. But what happened last night had little to do with taste. The band was cheesy, the presenter reminded us of a game show host, and the buffet was almost exactly the same spread served during the Al Qasr brunch. For AED600, guests deserved more.
But we're not knocking the festival altogether. The Festival of Taste, which has brought chefs such as Michel Roux and Jean-Christophe Novelli to Dubai, is just one of the events that attract tourists to the Dubai, which is good news to all residents who have invested in the emirate. And while it may not always live up to its name and provide 'tasteful' entertainment – or be organized tastefully – it's one of the many gimmicks that set Dubai apart from the rest of the emirates and the GCC.
On a different note, however, we noticed something a little disconcerting. As we walked through the restaurants, we noted that only one Emirati man was present; and there wasn't a single Emirati lady. Why?

LONDON — Britain's Takeover Panel on Dec. 30 granted Cadbury P.L.C. an extra three days to publish its 2009 results, extending the deadline to Jan. 15, 2010, from Jan. 12. The trading results are expected to be a key factor in Cadbury's defense against Kraft Foods Inc.'s hostile bid for the London-based confectionery maker.
Kraft Foods originally made a hostile bid for Cadbury in mid-December after its original bid was rejected by Cadbury.
Kraft is offering Cadbury shareholders 300 pence in cash and 0.2589 new Kraft shares for each Cadbury share. Overall, this gives Cadbury a value of 713 pence per share and an entire issued shared capital of £9.8 billion ($16.5 billion), which compares with a value of 745 pence, or £10.2 billion, at the time of the original offer in September. The lower overall value of the offer is due to the lower value of Kraft shares.

At the moment, I'm labeling features on my drawing with stations/offsets, but this question really applies to all label settings - is there any way to restrict the label text to be in all caps? I know I can just type in the station/offset labels manually but I'd like to be able to use the automatic-updating functionality of AutoCAD 3D.
Go into the label style, highlight your text and right click. This will give you options to change case in the label style which should work for any labels using that style. See Attached.

VIA Rail shouldn't give up freedom of movement in name of security: Editorial
Via Rail's proposals to block possible terror attacks risk causing big headaches for travellers without enhancing security.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
If Via Rail is trying to diminish its popularity, then its proposal for strict passenger security checks is a sure way to do it. What's the next step in the fight against possible acts of terrorism – force TTC customers to get their shoes x-rayed before riding the Red Rocket? After all, terrorists have shown they can attack almost anywhere.
In the scramble to appear security-conscious after the recent arrests in a suspected plot to derail a train, Via is considering extra scrutiny that risks making train travel more similar to the post 9/11 complications of boarding an airplane. The horror.
In its haste, Via seems to be ignoring the rather obvious fact that the alleged plot involved the detonation of train tracks – an apparent outside job that would not require a terrorist on board. If logic prevails, then Via security should investigate suspicious folks wandering around railway infrastructure instead.
The two men arrested in the plot last April are said to have planned to derail a train that started its journey under Amtrak in New York City and crossed into Via territory in Ontario. The alleged plot was uncovered in its planning stages by the RCMP.
Clearly, the possibility of terrorist threats exist. Authorities must take action to prevent them. But they must be careful to strike a delicate balance, one that that protects against over-reaction.
The proposed security measures, brought to light by a Canadian Press access to information request, include mandatory identification checks on all passengers, forcing commuters to get to the station early in order to wait, as weary airline travelers do, in those endless security lines. Amtrak, for its part, carries out occasional identification checks when passengers are onboard.
While Via obviously wants to show it values riders' lives (although not their lifestyle, given its cancellation of beloved small-town routes) these anti-terrorism suggestions are, quite simply, overkill.
The proposals would curtail freedom of movement and impede timely train departures. Via should be improving its service to build healthy ridership levels instead of allowing terror threats to create so many travel delays that commuters return to their cars. Certainly, as drivers they'd be at greater risk of death by automobile accident than random terrorist attacks. For every ill-conceived action, there's a consequence.
While there's nothing wrong with Via's suggestions of expanding staff training or its current use of sniffer dogs to examine luggage and train stations in larger centres, the timeliness of the system must not collapse under perceived terror threats.
The freedom to get on a train, without the added burden of lengthy security checks, is one small joy that need not be sacrificed. Don't let fear of terrorism take that away, too.

My caps lock key is disabled so I dont press it by accident
Never use it. Even when typing whole sentences, I try to type with all my fingers (not the proper way though, just taught myself) so its pretty easy just to hold shift with my pinky and type.
fun fact: always the right shift too. I guess its because I'm right handed, I never use the left shift.
Posted 26 March 2013 - 13:36
I've never dreamed of the right shift, in fact I don't think i've ever used it and im right handed. My left hand never leaves the keyboard lol

Only time I use caps lock is in the rare instance of needing to type an entire sentence in caps. Otherwise, it's left shift all the way, even though I'm right handed.. hmmm.
Caps lock is pretty much useless these days for most people--save, say, entering data on a spreadsheet or something. I think for every legitimate need for it, there are approximately 7.5 million instances of it accidentally having been pressed and causing someone to mistype their password too many times >.<

Two women who were not believed as teenagers have 25 years later seen the man who sexually offended against them go to jail.
Anthony Allan Griffiths, 70, was jailed for two years and two months at his sentencing in the Christchurch District Court yesterday.
He had pleaded guilty to charges of indecently assaulting the two girls by touching them when they were aged 14 and 15 years old and sexually violating one of them.
Both women read victim-impact statements in court.
One of the women told of Griffith's laughing in her face when she complained and was not believed.
"Today I feel vindicated and strong after being called a liar," she told the court.
The women spoke of anxiety issues and post-traumatic stress disorder since the offending.
Defence counsel Mark Callaghan urged that a home-detention sentence be imposed, but Judge David Saunders said there was criticism of the home-detention address.
The judge noted that Griffiths shook his head in disbelief at times during the sentencing as the events were described.
He said Griffiths was showing by his body language that he did not accept the account of what had happened.
The victims had been vulnerable and the harm had been obvious.
He reduced the jail sentence because of Griffiths' age and health issues, but he said: "Your body language and reaction today still suggests there is little remorse about this offending in your mind."

Pick of the Week - Adam & Eve/DDB, John Lewis
campaignlive.co.uk, Thursday, 15 November 2012 08:00AM
Jeremy Lee picks John Lewis' "the journey" by Adam & Eve/DDB:
"Christmas time - as Cliff Richard sang - is a time for giving, a time for getting. And the snowman in this ad goes to admirable efforts to get a pair of gloves, a hat and a scarf for his snowlady friend. There are a lot of schmaltzy retailer ads at the moment, but John Lewis manages to avoid cheap sentiment in favour of something quite charming." The ad was created by Frank Ginger and Shay Reading, and directed by Dougal Wilson through Blink.

Recently, I did an oral examination on a Chihuahua named Taco Larry, whose teeth had been cleaned in our clinic eight months earlier. I looked at Larry's owner with a pained expression on my face. "Again?" he asked. I nodded. He stammered, "But … my other dog has never had his teeth cleaned, and his are fine!"
The amount of dental maintenance required to keep a pet healthy varies among individuals and also among breeds. Know that your pet's mouth, just like your pet, is unique, and resign yourself to providing the care that mouth needs. Ask your veterinarian for guidance on the specific needs of your pet.
Even though daily tooth brushings simply don't seem to get done in my house, I don't give up the dream. I recommit regularly to making it a routine. But even if that dream is never realized, even if I fall short of brushing those handsome little teeth a few times per week, I am always going to aspire to daily brushing. Because no matter how hectic our lives are, effort directed at making our pets healthier and happier is never wasted.
Don't know where to start with brushing? Learn about brushing your dog's teeth and cat's teeth, as well as more about the effects of periodontal disease.
Now you and Mrs. Griffith know the shameful truth: I am a veterinarian who does not regularly brush my pet's teeth. If you don't either, you're not alone. Let's at least agree that dental health is important and commit to doing the best we can for our pets. We owe it to those who don't have thumbs for holding their own toothbrushes.

While technology changes on a regular basis, IT teams have had a standard approach to administration. In recent years, however, there has been a drastic shift in data center administration. One of the biggest shifts is the adoption of private and public clouds. In part two of this series, we will examine public cloud architectures.
From small businesses to major organizations, companies are moving to cloud architectures to meet a variety of different application needs, such as CRM and email. According to IDC, worldwide spending on public IT cloud services is expected to be more than $107 billion in 2017. They believe the next phase of cloud adoption will focus on being more user and solution driven in order to continue to drive growth and innovation across all industries that depend on IT. Public cloud services are generally used for servers, storage, and backup infrastructure. Ultimately, public cloud infrastructure is about cost, scalability and flexibility.
Cloud service providers are working to expand their capabilities to offer a wide range of hosted IT options from co-location to self-service public cloud Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) and Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS). According to cloud storage solution provider, Coraid, customers of cloud services have become more savvy to the potential and pitfalls of going to the cloud and expect to achieve lower total cost of ownership, scalability and flexibility by deploying to the cloud. As a result, companies like Coraid are working hard to expand their capabilities and transform their businesses to respond to cloud customers' needs.
In order to make cloud solutions attractive to businesses that are unsure about the technology, service providers need to prove that the infrastructure is easy to manage, flexible, offers scalability based on a specific business need, and quite possibly most important of all, offers high performance for the price. They need to get IT onboard with the idea first. While many may think this should be easy, this may actually prove more difficult than expected. IT may feel they may lose control of their data and server management. In reality, IT departments are gaining a technology partner. By partnering with a cloud provider, the on-site IT department is freed up to deal with other enterprise-level projects.
Quite possibly one of the most important positives to a public cloud is the location independence it provides. Public cloud services are provided via an Internet connection which ensures the data is available no matter where the client is physically located. It is this level of flexibility that IT teams will appreciate in case of an emergency or other unexpected event. Some companies actually utilize a mix of public and private clouds; a private cloud will protect very sensitive data (financial, etc.) and utilizing a public cloud architecture for less sensitive data. For example, Amazon Web Services runs on a public cloud.
Ultimately, deciding on whether a public or private cloud is right for a specific organization requires careful thought and research. The third-party selected for implementation should be utilized as a source for expert information on which solution makes the most sense for that specific business.
Software-driven innovation is becoming a primary approach to how businesses create and deliver new value to customers. A survey of 400 business and IT executives by the IBM Institute for Business Value showed businesses that are more effective at software delivery are also more profitable than their peers nearly 70 percent of the time (1). DevOps provides a way for businesses to remain competitive, applying lean and agile principles to software development to speed the delivery of software that ...

It's surprise music day. Less than 12 hours after Beyonce suddenly released an entire album no one knew was in the works, 17-year-old "Royals" superstar Lorde has dropped a previously unreleased track called "No Better." Idolator reports that the song was originally intended for her hit album Pure Heroine, but ended up being cut, which led to its release as a one-off single earlier today.
The song is unmistakably Lorde, with a pronounced line that serves as a kind of backbone for the singer's rhythmic vocals. It's a catchy, breezy track that would have been right at home on Pure Heroine, but it stands alone just fine. But if a recent interview with Billboard is any indication, we'll be getting some truly new Lorde songs in the near future. "I've been writing, but I haven't really had time to hit the studio as of yet," said Lorde. "That'll be the end of this year, or next year."

The first list shows the average annual pay for all employees within each of the market's 22 major sectors. The second list shows the area's 100 highest-paying individual occupations, again based on average annual pay.
If a given occupation is among the 100 top-paying jobs in America, its title will be highlighted. Click on the link to see a detailed breakdown of its overall wage structure.
Each sector and occupation is followed by its six-digit BLS code in brackets. All sector and occupation titles are the bureau's official designations.

Arizona Cardinals
Arizona Cardinals select QB Logan Thomas in 4th round of NFL Draft
The Arizona Cardinals and head coach Bruce Arians have finally drafted a quarterback.
The Cardinals selected former Virginia Tech signal-caller Logan Thomas with the No. 120 overall pick, making him the sixth quarterback taken in the draft.
"I had a pretty good idea I had a chance to go to the Cardinals, and really it's what I was hoping," Thomas said on a conference call with the media after his selection.
"It just felt right from the very beginning."
Thomas, a 6-foot-6, 260-pounder, is off the charts athletically and physically, but his on-field performance has been somewhat lacking.
He tossed 16 touchdowns and 13 interceptions as a senior, completing 56.5 percent of his passes. Thomas is the seventh quarterback drafted out of Virgina Tech, and the first since Michael Vick in 2001.
Thomas, out of Arians' alma mater, underwent a workout with the Cardinals on campus earlier this offseason. Thomas fits the Arians profile of big-bodied, strong-armed, athletic quarterbacks.
"For me, I couldn't have gone into a better situation," Thomas said.
Thomas created some NFL Draft buzz after his sophomore season, in which he completed almost 60 percent of his passes with 19 touchdowns and 10 interceptions, but his growth seemed to stall from there.
"What being a quarterback comes down to is throwing an accurate ball," Thomas said. "This offseason I could really go refine some things. I feel really good about it and I'm excited to take some steps."

Point of no returnMay 17,2014Recently two research teams, working independently and using different methods, reached an alarming conclusion: The West Antarctic ice sheet is doomed. The sheets slide into the ocean, and the resulting sharp rise in sea levels, will probably happen slowly. But its irreversible. Even if we took drastic action to limit global warming right now, this particular process of environmental change has reached a point of no return.
Meanwhile, Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida much of whose state is now fated to sink beneath the waves weighed in on climate change. Some readers may recall that in 2012, Rubio, asked how old he believed the Earth to be, replied Im not a scientist, man. This time, however, he confidently declared the overwhelming scientific consensus on climate change false, although in a later interview he was unable to cite any sources for his skepticism.
So why would the senator make such a statement? The answer is that like that ice sheet, his partys intellectual evolution (or maybe more accurately, its devolution) has reached a point of no return, in which allegiance to false doctrines has become a crucial badge of identity.
Ive been thinking a lot lately about the power of doctrines how support for a false dogma can become politically mandatory, and how overwhelming contrary evidence only makes such dogmas stronger and more extreme. For the most part, Ive been focusing on economic issues, but the same story applies with even greater force to climate.
To see how it works, consider a topic I know well: the recent history of inflation scares.
More than five years have passed since many conservatives started warning that the Federal Reserve, by taking action to contain the financial crisis and boost the economy, was setting the stage for runaway inflation. And, to be fair, that wasnt a crazy position to take in 2009; I could have told you it was wrong (and, in fact, I did), but you could see where it was coming from.
Over time, however, as the promised inflation kept failing to arrive, there should have come a point when the inflationistas conceded their error and moved on.
In fact, however, few did. Instead, they mostly doubled down on their predictions of doom, and some moved on to conspiracy theorizing, claiming that high inflation was already happening, but was being concealed by government officials.
Why the bad behavior? Nobody likes admitting to mistakes, and all of us even those of us who try not to sometimes engage in motivated reasoning, selectively citing facts to support our preconceptions.
But hard as it is to admit ones own errors, its much harder to admit that your entire political movement got it badly wrong. Inflation phobia has always been closely bound up with right-wing politics; to admit that this phobia was misguided would have meant conceding that one whole side of the political divide was fundamentally off base about how the economy works. So most of the inflationistas have responded to the failure of their prediction by becoming more, not less, extreme in their dogma, which will make it even harder for them ever to admit that they, and the political movement they serve, have been wrong all along.
The same kind of thing is clearly happening on the issue of global warming. There are, obviously, some fundamental factors underlying GOP climate skepticism: The influence of powerful vested interests (including, though by no means limited to, the Koch brothers), plus the partys hostility to any argument for government intervention. But there is clearly also some kind of cumulative process at work. As the evidence for a changing climate keeps accumulating, the Republican Partys commitment to denial just gets stronger.
Think of it this way: Once upon a time it was possible to take climate change seriously while remaining a Republican in good standing. Today, listening to climate scientists gets you excommunicated hence Rubios statement, which was effectively a partisan pledge of allegiance.
And truly crazy positions are becoming the norm. A decade ago, only the GOPs extremist fringe asserted that global warming was a hoax concocted by a vast global conspiracy of scientists (although even then that fringe included some powerful politicians). Today, such conspiracy theorizing is mainstream within the party, and rapidly becoming mandatory; witch hunts against scientists reporting evidence of warming have become standard operating procedure, and skepticism about climate science is turning into hostility toward science in general.
Its hard to see what could reverse this growing hostility to inconvenient science. As I said, the process of intellectual devolution seems to have reached a point of no return. And that scares me more than the news about that ice sheet.

Elton John receives invitation to royal wedding
Post your comment
Comments on this article are now closed.
Reader comments
Still waiting for mine.
Got mine….. Not
Why are they inviting a couple they do not know? Such a needless waste of money.
I hope the costs for the wedding and the security are coming out of William and Kate's own pockets? I jest – those parasites expect the taxpayer to fund this.
It's disgusting that these unelected royals expect the taxpayer to fund their wedding.
Personally I'd like to see them get married in a registry office.
It is so embarrassing that the UK has an unelected head of state and and unelected House of Lords and a hideously primitive method of electing the House of Commons.
It's time Britain moved into the 21st century – we can start by abolishing the monarchy after Lizzie's death and by replacing the House of Lords with a democratically elected upper house.
"Unexpectedly" invited??? Elton is like a fly on sh!t when it comes to the Windsors.
David, I've been espousing the abolition of the House of Lords for years including the disestablishment of the state cult, the C of E. As Peter Tatchell once said quite aptly after Elton John and his partner had their civil partnership contracted in the same venue as the Prince…"Prince Charles can get married twice, we can't get married once", or words to that effect.
I don't mind a royal wedding.
And it makes sense he doesn't know them but he knew their mum and played at her memorial. It was quit touching.
William was always close to his mum so I think it's natural to invite him.
I wouldn't take baby tho.
I'm looking forward to the royal wedding. I think it's nice that they have invited Elton and David because of the role Elton had in giving a focus to people's grief after Diana's death. The main things that people remember about the funeral are Diana's brother's speech and Elton's song. It's easy to be cynical but I think it will be much more fun to enter into the spirit of it and start organising street parties etc!
