Salvation Army Today, September 13!

This week's Salvation Army Today video – brought to you by The Salvation Army Southern Territory – looks back at the 9/11 terrorist attacks, features our rebuilding efforts…
We blogged about The Salvation Army World Service Office's (SAWSO) presence at the 19th annual International Aids Conference in Washington, DC. The event brings together 25,000 leaders, experts…
While participating in the mission trip in the Turks and Caicos Islands, we were able to visit a government-sponsored school called New Beginnings, a place for students whose parents cannot afford private school and for teens who are troubled. Among the students are girls who are either pregnant or have already become mothers, and Haitian-born kids who live on the island and are rejected.
It's unlikely that you've ever heard of the Solid Rock Club of Alexandria, VA. The intimate club of 25 men in recovery at The Salvation Army's Adult Rehabilitation Center (ARC) is no secret, but the humble work they've accomplished over the years serving others seems to be in hiding!
I discovered the group's existence after stumbling upon an article featuring their good work on The Salvation Army's Southern Spirit Online site (thanks Southern Territory!).
Before joining The Salvation Army as an Officer, Major Evelyn Chavez worked as a Triage Medical Assistant. Her experience provided her with the proper training to deal with stress and trauma – fitting for the life-changing situations she's been faced with since joining The Salvation Army.
And she's seen it all.
Major Chavez provided care at Columbine high school in the late 90's following the shootings. She served as Incident Commander for survivors of Hurricane Katrina, and, most recently worked as a Chaplain in Port au Prince following the earthquake in Haiti.
But she'll never forget Ground Zero. After the 9/11 attacks, Major Chavez worked tirelessly for two straight weeks in a Salvation Army tent at Ground Zero treating victims.
She sees every opportunity to serve as a blessing from God, a way to serve Him better. What an Amazing Example!
Thanks to the Salvation Army Western Territory's blog Expect Change, her journal entries from that time have been recorded. Every day of this week Expect Change will be posting a journal entry from Major Chavez's time at Ground Zero, chronicling the conversations, the scenes, and the personal moments that we'd otherwise not know about.

The Wall Street Journal published an article this week about a growing trend among affluent families of teaching their children the importance of giving. Thankfully, "doing good" is not dependant on financial status!
There are always opportunities to pass along to the younger generation the value of helping others. The article suggests practical ideas applicable to any parent, like simply talking about the "good feeling" you get from giving, bringing children with you to volunteer and visit charities, or letting kids educate parents on causes they care about, rather than the other way around.
We believe philanthropy is a vital life lesson that you're never too young to learn. Here are just a few ways The Salvation Army can help your family put some of these suggestions into practice:
* Have your kids collect their old clothes and toys for giveaway and bring them with you to donate to a Salvation Army Family Thrift Store. Make the experience even more impactful by explaining how their gift will benefit people in need, and use the videos and resources at our website www.satruck.org to show them real life stories.
* Make volunteering a family event, such as serving meals together at a Salvation Army shelter or being bell ringers. Visit your local Salvation Army corps to learn how you can help address your community's specific needs.
* Empower children to donate financially. Have them fill out the online donation form for you or let them click the "Donate Now" button. Give them some change to put in the Christmas Red Kettle, or help them host their own online Red Kettle. You could even ask them if they'd like to put a percentage of their allowance toward supporting The Salvation Army.
* Find out what they're passionate about. The Salvation Army serves a vast range of needs that they can get involved with or learn more about on our website. Maybe they have a desire to help other kids or feel strongly about supporting disaster survivors – they could get started right away by sending a child in need to summer camp or donating to our disaster relief efforts.
* Make special occasions about 'others.' Start a family tradition to make a donation in your child's name on their birthday, purchase and give a toy at Christmas time for a child in need through Salvation Army Angel Tree, or serve a meal together at a Salvation Army shelter at Thanksgiving.
* Put your money where your mouth is. Offer to match a donation that your child makes. Set a long-term goal to work towards to give your child a greater sense of accomplishment and help your family work together as a team.
* Gear school and extra-curricular projects towards philanthropic causes. Programs such as Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts require participants to design and implement service projects. Many children and young adults have worked with The Salvation Army to complete their assignments and benefit their communities in the process.
It's National Volunteer Week, a time for us to recommit ourselves to serving others and celebrate those who generously give back!
Last year, 3,411,613 volunteers assisted The Salvation Army by working in our food programs, serving as Red Kettle bell ringers, assisting at-risk youth, rebuilding disaster sites, and more. Our volunteers are critical partners in helping us fulfill our promise to America of "Doing the Most Good."
As President Obama stated in his presidential proclamation, "…These everyday heroes make a real and lasting impact on the lives of millions of women and men across the globe."
We completely agree!
This week we will share on our blog how volunteers are getting involved with The Salvation Army across the US, as well as what we're doing to express our sincere appreciation for their support, so check back for updates.
If you would like to get involved with a Salvation Army near you, search for opportunities via www.volunteermatch.org. Many of our local units post opportunities on this website, and we'd love to have you join us.
FedEx has a long history of supporting survivors of natural disasters worldwide. They've even partnered with us during many of our local and international relief efforts.
We want to express our gratitude to them yet again, as FedEx has committed $1 million to support the Japan disaster relief work of several non-profit organizations, including $100,000 to The Salvation Army.
Their donation will come in the form of in-kind transportation, which will be a huge help to our work. It's usually extremely expensive and inefficient to ship materials long distance when they can be bought locally to the disaster site. But there are some things, such as technologies, medical supplies, specialized items, or scarce materials, that are not readily available and must be transported from afar.
The Salvation Army in Japan is working diligently at several sites assisting survivors. Besides blankets, they have not yet requested additional materials from our Salvation Army World Service Office (SAWSO) here in the United States. If and when they do express additional needs over the course of rebuilding, we are prepared to respond quickly.
We are extremely grateful to FedEx, whose donation will go a long way in supporting Japan recovery.
To learn more about FedEx disaster relief efforts, visit news.fedex.com or about.fedex.com.
Three Salvation Army teams in Japan have arrived and are serving at several disaster sites in Japan. The Japanese Government has recognized The Salvation Army's work and has given our teams permission to enter the disaster area and use access roads that are closed off to the public.
The first of the three teams went to Sendai, where about 1,000 meals were served to evacuees. Our mobile emergency canteen prepared hot meals and drinks to give out at the Sendai Salvation Army church.
Another team went to a relief office in the Mito area and unloaded bottles of water, biscuits, blankets, diapers and tissue boxes for distribution to evacuees.
The third team headed to an area where people had been evacuated from the vicinity around the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power station, but snow and shortage of petrol meant they had to divert to other areas to support evacuees.
Offers of support are pouring in from around the world. Two experienced emergency services workers have flown to Tokyo from The Salvation Army's International Headquarters in London to assist their Japanese colleagues. The BBC reports that volunteers from a British group which failed to obtain clearance to work in the affected areas 'donated their food and medical supplies to The Salvation Army working in the country'.
The Salvation Army's Korea Territory has arranged for the K-Water Corporation to provide 100,000 bottles of water to be sent to Japan – 30,000 bottles by the end of the week, followed by the rest within a short time – and the Korea Disaster Relief Association will be sending 5,000 first-aid kits. Salvationists in Korea are holding a month of prayer for the people of Japan.
In a touching show of solidarity 1,500 young Salvationists in Haiti – who themselves have recent experience of a devastating earthquake – made prayer for Japan a focus of their rally in Fond-des-Nègres on March 11-12.
As much as people like to bash social media, sites like Facebook and Twitter have played crucial roles during recent global events.
From serving as the one of the very few connections between earthquake-shaken Haiti and the outside world, to helping organize revolutionary protests in Egypt, social media is proving to the world stage that hey, maybe there's more to this than just letting virtual friends know the scoop on our relationship status.
There's a lot of good that can come from this stuff if we use it well.
A few New York interns appear to have already figured that out. As a part of their project "Unheard in New York," these interns gave four NYC homeless men their own prepaid cell phones and Twitter accounts with the purpose of helping them tell their stories. Every day Danny, Derrick, Albert and Carlos tweet about what it's like to live on the streets, the struggles they face, and how they came to be homeless. From once feeling like they didn't have a voice, they now have thousands of people following, talking with, and learning from them on Twitter.
If these tweets can give a voice to the homeless, what can your tweets do? How can your Facebook status become more than just the status quo? We want to hear your ideas for using social media to do good.
I'd like to suggest one way you can get started – connect with The Salvation Army online. We're on Facebook (The S alvation Army USA) and Twitter (@SalvationArmyUS). We share how we're serving people in need every day and opportunities for you to be a part of it.


text: So I found this pan at the thrift store similar to this: http://www.cookware.com/asp/show_detail.asp?sku=JWR1063&refid=FR280-JWR1063#ProdDetails except it has vege shaped cavities. Any suggestions on what kind of use I can put it too? One would think it would need to be a "low rise" item as it will be flipped over. Anything that crowns would have to be cut off before serving to show the shapes. Cornbread is the obvious answer (although not period) Thanks for the suggestions. Vitha

World of Tanks Sees 230,000 Years of Play Time in 2012 December 20, 2012Posted by Wilhelm Arcturus in entertainment, World of Tanks, World of Warplanes, World of Warships.

And the year isn't even done yet.
Wargaming.net sent out a press release about 2012 that included an info graphic with some statistics about World of Tanks. And, since I like that sort of thing, I thought I would pass it along.
Those are some nice round numbers, which means they are probably reasonable estimates, at least if you subscribe to the theory that the more precise a huge number is, the more likely it is to be bullshit. That particular theory arose from a study of United Nations statistics, where there appeared to a correlation between precision and simply making things up.
Interesting to see that the Soviet KV series of tanks is so popular in its various forms. And then there is the Type 59 in China, which is still for sale on their server still and is, of course, a Chinese tank. It is no longer an option in NA/EU.
As for next year, Wargaming.net has this to say:
Our key objectives for the year 2013 are many – deliver two new online free-to-play worlds, continued the expansion of World of Tanks with creative and passionate new content, and further reinforce our ties with our community," said Wargaming CEO Victor Kislyi. "We will also continue to explore new possibilities offered by the free-to-play MMO space to provide players with unique gaming experiences and unite as many people as possible in our free-to-play universe.
So World of Warplanes and World of Warships in 2013?
I suppose we shall see.
World of Warplanes Reveals Some American Planes December 20, 2011Posted by Wilhelm Arcturus in entertainment, World of Warplanes.

Wargaming.net's press release this morning, and they have a press release every week at a minimum, was all about World of Warplanes.
World of Warplanes Unveils USA Aircraft
Initial American Tech Tree Revealed
London, UK, Paris, FR and San Francisco, CA (20th December, 2011) — Wargaming.net, the award-winning videogame publisher and developer, is proud to introduce the initial tech tree of the American warbirds for its anticipated aerial action MMO World of Warplanes. The line of aircraft will be available with the game's release and will feature two warplane branches to explore.
Along with the American line, World of Warplanes, now in its Closed Alpha stage, will feature the German and Soviet tiers upon its release scheduled for 2012. The first iteration of the American tech tree will feature a line of light fighters together with the unique branch of carrier fighters not available for other nations. Among others, players will be able to test the famous models including the F4U Corsair, the F4F Wildcat, the P-51 Mustang, and the F-86A Sabre.
"We are proud to reveal the initial American tech tree," said Victor Kislyi, Wargaming.net CEO. "Throughout the course of WWII, the US planes proved to be extremely powerful and efficient machines, and we could not but include them into the primary stack of World of Warplanes nations."

About World of Warplanes
World of Warplanes is the flight combat MMO action game set in the Golden Age of military aviation. The game continues the armored warfare theme marked in the highly-acclaimed World of Tanks and will throw players into a never-ending tussle for air dominance.
World of Warplanes will allow players to build full-scale careers as virtual pilots offering machines from several key eras, from1930's biplanes to the Korean War jet fighters that led the way to modern air forces.
World of Warplanes will feature a wide range of warbirds, each of them unique in their effectiveness and behavior. Virtual pilots will choose from three main warplane classes – single-engine light fighters capable of engaging enemies in close dogfights, heavy fighters with their deadly straight attacks, and strafing aircrafts, the fearsome threat to ground targets.
Every plane will feature multiple variations of ammo types, engines, and other crucial modules, and their various combinations will allow players to pick the optimal configuration for the most effective behavior in combat.
The initial American tree looks a bit sparse.
Granted, the World of Tanks trees looked pretty sparse when they were initially announced as well. Now however, after a year of work, there are an amazing number of tanks in game. So I expect this will fill out as well.
I do have to wonder what a jet-powered P-51 will look like, and why they chose that.
Oddly, they included a set of pictures of the American P-39, which is not on the tree at the moment.
They did include some nice pictures of the Boeing P-12 as well, though I have never seen a picture of one painted as such. (I did see one at the USAF Museum once.) And this plane is on the tree and belongs there.
Given how much fun World of Tanks has ended up being, I am interested to see how World of Warplanes develops. I do wonder how they will deal with controls and if flight sticks and the like will become a serious differentiator among players.
World of Battleships Web Site Now Live! September 13, 2011Posted by Wilhelm Arcturus in entertainment, World of Warplanes, World of Warships.

Wargaming.net, makers of World of Tanks and World of Warplanes, now has an official web site up for the third title in their "world" trilogy, World of Battleships.
As with the World of Warplanes site, there isn't much there yet. There is some artwork.
I am not sure how representative of the actual game the art is.
And there is a brief overview of the game.
The players have three main classes of ships at their disposal:
- Aircraft carriers that provide both naval and air support
- Battleships and heavy cruisers able to scarify the enemy with their looks alone
- Light destroyers with speed and agility as their strongest points
All the machines have their unique combination of firepower, speed, armor, and endurance. A pack of nimble destroyers will tire out their opponents, huge battleships can batter down any target with a couple of main caliber salvos, aircraft carriers are capable of covering the allies from air or routing an aircraft cell towards the enemy.
I guess that covers some of the questions I asked. Or maybe not. Carriers just add to the range question. And I wonder how carrier aircraft will be handled?
And then there are the trailers they posted earlier in the year, during Gamescom.
So a little bit of information, but a lot of questions are still unanswered.

Wargaming.net did an interview with MMO Crunch about World of Warplanes the other day. There isn't really much information in the interview. Wargaming.net didn't seem ready to talk about much of substance about the game at this point.
So, perhaps sensing that nothing substantial was going to get passed along, the interviewer decided to go for the "wouldn't this be totally cool" level of questions. And so this was asked:
This one's a long shot, but I need to ask it. When a plane is shot down, will the wreckage crash onto the battlefields in World of Tanks?
Now wouldn't that be cool? At least the first time it happened?
Wargaming.net agreed that it would be cool but, no, that won't be happening.

Wargaming.net had trailers for both World of Warplanes and World of Battleships at Gamescom.
Both are kind of pretty. Neither tell you much about the games in question.
I guess we will have to wait for a while longer to get an idea as to what Wargaming.net has in mind for these two projects.
With that sort of trailer I would guess we're at least a year away from seeing either title.

When Wargaming.net announced World of Warplanes to add to their World of Tanks offering, I wondered what else we would need.
A number of people said "Naval Warfare!"
And so you shall…
Wargaming.net Declares Naval Warfare
World of Battleships Weighs Anchor
London, UK, Paris, FR and San Francisco, CA (16th August, 2011) — Wargaming.net, the award-winning videogame publisher and developer, announces World of Battleships, a free-to-play naval action MMO based on epic sea battles of the 20th century that will complete the "World of" war trilogy.
Keeping with the best traditions of the series, World of Battleships will offer a straightforward interface, easy-to-use controls, and a common economic system that will allow players to distribute resources between the three games for the ultimate progress in each of them.
The large assortment of available warships will give various tactical opportunities, as all the machines have a unique combination of firepower, speed, armor, and endurance. Various naval maps with changing weather conditions will enrich the gameplay, and the realistic graphics will transport players into the epic battles that changed the course of human history.
Wargaming.net CEO Victor Kislyi states: "Humans always needed to conquer the elements — earth, water and air. With World of Tanks, World of Warplanes and World of Battleships we will offer players to conquer all, simultaneously."

The Djoser Step Pyramid at Saqq?ra, Egypt was constructed by Imhotep (Djoser's royal architect) c.2630 BC to a height of 62 m 204 ft. Updated 13/12/10: For many years, the Djoser Step Pyramid at Saqqara, Egypt, was considered to be the world's earliest pyramid, constructed by Pharaoh Djoser's royal architect, Imhotep, in approximately c.2630 BC. More recently, however, archaeologists have discovered that similar structures were being built at around the same time on the other side of the world. As early as 2700-2600 BC, an ancient city featuring up to 20 pyramids was constructed at Caral in the Supe Valley on the west coast of Peru. The early settlement is widely believed to be the first city in the Americas, although the difficulties in dating ancient monuments has made it impossible to say for certain whether its pyramids pre-date the one at Saqqara.

Move over Snooki, J-Woww, and The Situation. The Jersey Shore has a new spectacle and it doesn't involve orange skin or hair bumps.
In the heart of Morey's Piers in Wildwood, New Jersey, is the tallest Ferris wheel on the East Coast. But this Ferris wheel is different than most. This Ferris wheel is also a new, hot brunch spot. Visitors to the Jersey Shore now have the option of dining 160 feet above sea level. The "Ferris Wheel Breakfast," has been called a "picnic in the sky."
Four guests can fit  per gondola and the 45-minute brunch averages at $40 per person. A little pricier than you were hoping? Keep in mind that the brunch is adorned with high-end china, white linen tablecloths, and food prepared by a well-known executive chef, Walter Jurusz. In an interview with AOL, Jurusz described the most popular item on the menu:
Since we're at the Jersey Shore, the number one item so far is the shrimp and lobster omelet.
Other items on the menu include smoked salmon scrambled eggs, freshly made Belgian waffles, the Jersey tomato BLT with fried egg, and the steak and egg scramble.
Jack Morey, son of Morey's Piers founder, explained the reason behind Breakfast in the Sky:
It's the beach. It's the ocean. It's the dolphins leaping. When you start reminding yourself why people came here in the first place, how do we ingrain that into our business better?
And people love the idea. Reservations began on June 1st and, so far, there have been anniversary and birthday celebrations, in addition to families visiting the Jersey Shore, hoping to see spectacular views of the beachfront below.

Aromatherapy is the art and science of using essential oils for mental and physical healing. Through inhalation and various forms of application, these highly-concentrated plant essences work on all systems of the body. They aid in respiration, digestion, elimination and detoxification and have anti-spasmodic, anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties. The oils are extracted from wild or cultivated plants, some are organic. The sense of smell is the most highly developed sense. The largest portion of your brain is associated with it.

Exactly what I expected. Wish the color of the jacket was coser to the original. Looking forward to wearing my belle costume with my beast!
[1 of 2 customers found this review helpful]
I bought this costume for an event I planned at work. It was the best costume there (I won a contest) Very comfortable, authentic looking, and its Beauty and the Beast you can't go wrong! It runs very large, I would say I have an "average" body type and the Medium/Large was a bit generous. Also, out of the package it was a bit wrinkly, but I used my fabric steamer on it and it looked awesome. I wore this for 8 hours straight and I was fine (minus the boots, those were hurting, but they don't come with the costume so its irrelevant) :) All in all I would say it is totally worth the price. Plus the furry hat is sooo warm I will definitely use it this winter!!! JUST BUY IT!!!

The costume itself was nice comfortable material. It was a nice good fit but one size too large because you were out of small. Once i started making my adjustments it was obvious the sleeves were different lengths and maybe not something i would have noticed right away since the costume was too large for me to begin with. I understand that these costumes are made very quickly by whoever, but we arent talking small details, this was a big thing to not notice. Either way i guess its better to have more material than not enough. I do love your costumes spirit and remain my go to halloween store

Embrace Your Inner Furry: Microsoft Patents 'Fringe Interests' Dating Service

Moves are afoot to make New Zealand food products safer to eat, and making food regulations easier and cheaper to meet for manufacturers and producers.
The Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry and the Ministry of Health are making good progress on a project to streamline the country's food safety regulations, making them less complex and yet more thorough.
Currently the safety of food production is covered by three different Acts, making for a complex and costly set of requirements for many producers and processors. Those costs are inevitably passed on to the end consumer.
Under existing regulations, the Ministry of Health regulates the producers of food for domestic consumption through the Food Act and the Food Hygiene Regulations. Dairy producers have to comply with the Dairy Industry Act, and the processors of meat products must meet the requirements of the Animal Products Act. The latter two pieces of legislation are administered by the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry.
MAF's Food Assurance Authority Group Director, Andrew McKenzie, says this means food producers who manufacture for both the domestic and export markets, and who use dairy and meat products have to comply with three different pieces of legislation. It's a system Mr McKenzie says is inefficient and undoubtedly results in higher costs to the consumer.
Government is moving towards a single integrated food administration system for New Zealand and the project to harmonise MAF and Ministry of Health regimes was initiated as an interim measure while final decisions are made on future structures.
It is recognised that New Zealand's food safety programme has to meet a number of challenges. The risk of food borne illness is one. The programme must also ensure that the contribution made to the country's economic well-being by food exports is protected. We currently export approximately 11 billion dollars of food and food related products each year. And New Zealand's growing tourism industry relies on our reputation for excellent and safe food.
The change will see a move to a new philosophy in food safety. Instead of the old 'big brother' system of command and control through prescriptive requirements, all food businesses will have to adopt a risk-management approach.
Andrew McKenzie says this means the Government will set appropriate outcome based standards and industry will take full responsibility for producing safe food under risk management plans. These plans identify areas where risks happen in production, and set out ways to manage those risks. Independent verification will ensure industries have abided by their plans.
The move to harmonise food safety is being undertaken by a project team whose aim is to have all food premises in the country using risk management plans. "Their plan will ensure all of the key risks in production are addressed," says Mr McKenzie.
In the short term, the team is addressing the issues of how to best consult and communicate with people involved or affected by food risk management decisions; creating a risk management framework and systems for the approval of people, systems and facilities in the industry.
Mr McKenzie says the hard work will ultimately result in a credible New Zealand food safety regime, which will provide even better protection for consumers of New Zealand food.

I've been doing Eclipse RCP development for the past 2 months as part of my day job (nope, Swing is not dead, it just so happens the customer is an Eclipse shop), and while we used Eclipse 3.x initially we switched to Eclipse 4.x in recent weeks. Now, everyone following Eclipse knows that in the last 3 years there's been a big change when migrating from Eclipse 3.x to Eclipse 4.x, mainly due to a full overhaul in the platform's design. As someone staying in the periphery of the Eclipse community I couldn't help but to notice some similarities between Eclipse 4.x and Griffon. Serendipity stroke during Øredev as I met with Lars Vogel (@vogella) during one of the breaks. We chatted for a while about our respective frameworks just to discover how similar in spirit and features they are. The following is a list of such features, and I'm just scratching the surface.

Home > Research > Executive Education
The Executive Education Program at Harvard Kennedy School brings together experienced professionals, a world-class faculty and a dynamic curriculum to address some of the most perplexing issues in governance and leadership today. CID affiliated Faculty play a critical role in these programs by disseminating their research findings thereby exposing leaders to cutting-edge solutions to some of the most challenging development problems.
Below is a list of courses that are led by CID-affiliated faculty:
Leading Economic Growth
(co-chaired by Ricardo Hausmann, Lant Pritchett, Matt Andrews)
This program offers a new approach to economic growth that focuses on expanding a country's set of productive capabilities and expressing them in a more diverse and complex set of products. Contrary to a commonly held belief, as countries become more developed, their citizens and firms specialize, but the national, regional, and metropolitan economies actually diversify. The opportunities for diversification are strongly affected by the initial set of productive capabilities, which makes each situation different. This Executive Education Program provides participants with critical tools to identify new activities that can most easily be developed successfully in a specific economy.
Cutting Edge in Development Thinking
(Co-chaired by Ricardo Hausmann, Lant Pritchett, Matt Andrews)
The world of development practice only gets more complex. The diversity of country experiences—from completely failed states like Somalia to the emerging African economies to the economically thriving but chaotic South Asia states to middle income but stagnating Latin America—gets broader. At the same time the evolution of development paradigms never seems to catch up to the pressing challenges of the here and now. This five day course is meant to provide an overview of what is at the cutting edge of development thinking and research on a number (though not all) of topics and how that can be incorporated into the strategic and tactical decisions of senior officials leading development institutions.
Leaders in Development(Co-chaired by Matt Andrews)
Increasingly, leaders encounter arenas in which authority to respond to problems is more diffuse, the issues they are called upon to deal with are more complex, and the imperative to incorporate knowledge and participation is greater. This program is designed for leaders in public affairs whose responsibilities place them at the center of these issues. During the program, participants sharpen problem solving, analytic, and strategic action skills and consider new ways to strengthen representative politics and open markets, and manage the challenges of globalization.
Public Financial Management(Chaired by Matt Andrews)
Every country around the world has embraced public financial management reforms over the last two decades, but many simply have not met expectations. This Executive Education program offers a rigorous, evidence-based approach to public financial management. The program is intended to bring together officials in charge of implementing reforms in their countries with leading experts from multilateral organizations to examine the challenges associated with successful systemic reform.

DDoS attacks are a way to keep corrupt corporations honest, according to an anonymous member of DerpTrolling, who gives us an inside look at the self-proclaimed gods of the Internet.
The Social Security numbers, addresses, and telephone numbers of First Lady Michelle Obama, pop singer Beyonce, wrestler Hulk Hogan, and more are posted on a doxxing Web site.
When it comes to the internet, getting justice can be tricky — but taking matters into your own hands to mete out punishment should never be the answer.
There has been a massive internet brouhaha simmering away for the past month, building up and up. I had expected it to erupt by now, and in a way it has, but instead of simmering out, the anger just keeps building.

I've used one of these for ten years now, and whilst there are some slight differences in the design (namely the tuners), doesn't feel like a lot has fundamentally changed when putting it up against a new build version.
Mine has had quite a bit of abuse thrown at it, and the only major problems with it were all owner induced!
In terms of playability it sits well, with a very comfortable (for me) neck profile and size, and a good balance; though I'm starting to find that the string spacing is a touch too narrow under the left hand, but that's not the bass' problem it's a long term injury to the left hand which isn't going away that's causing me to trip over strings a little more often.
Whilst I look around now for basses that fit better in to my current situation, this is the only bass that isn't going to change in the rack as it's solid, dependable, comfortable and whilst not the best specified, most expensive of the current ones, or featured it's just an enjoyable bass to work with and I know I'd regret letting go of this one!

I am a guitar player converted to a bass player. I originally bought this guitar because the recognition it gets from bass players everywhere. I was also looking for a five string because I play with a guitarist that tends to drop tune regularly. The playability of this bass is fine. I also own a Music Man Bongo and as far as the physical setup goes the Fender is no better or worse than the Bongo.
Comparing the tone of the Bongo and this bass probably isn't fair, because they are at a completely different price point. But the pickups are very weak. When I started to inspect the build of this bass, I noticed that the alignment of the strings with the pole pieces of the pickups is really ridiculous. It almost looks like it has the wrong pickups installed. The picture shown of this bass on this ad is a good representation. The strings should be between the poles (centered) and they are not. I am curious how an engineer for a company of the size and reputation of Fender could turn out such a sloppy design. My first electric guitar was a Fender and it was awesome, but this one, not so much. I am now looking for pickups that will bring this thing to life, but because of the poor design, I am afraid that a blade design may be my only choice.

A five string Jazz Bass always has been my first love, and this bass is a perfect tool for stepping into the world of basslines. This Standard Jazz Bass V is totally a perfect choice for daily use, from your own bedroom, the cafe corner, until live at the stage. The tone itself is distinguishable, a timeless classic. Warm yet punchy when fingered, clear yet snappy when slapped. Not as great as its American brothers, but you will get so much for less bucks.

Aaron Behrens and The Midnight Stroll
Best known as the volatile frontman of groundbreaking electro duo Ghostland Observatory, Aaron Behrens embarks on his most surprising and creative excursion to date with the self-titled debut EP from Aaron Behrens & The Midnight Stroll. After almost a decade fronting Ghostland, Behrens found himself lost within EDM culture just as the genre he'd helped pioneer achieved its mainstream crescendo. In response, he reached for his acoustic guitar and penned a series of songs touched by his original inspirations glam, deep soul and classic FM radio pop. New songs like "Day and Night" and the slide guitar stomp of "Rising Sea" swap out the lasers and electronic bells and whistles, instead offering up an organic, dynamic, and intensely personal brand of contemporary rock 'n' roll.

Lyles: Why can't leaders be more like triathletes?
It is always fascinating to get a glimpse into one of the many subcultures people have created around the world. During this past month I've been exposed to a growing subculture that is both vibrant and fascinating. More than catching a glimpse, I was totally immersed on two separate occasions in an arena that reminded me that there are truly wondrous aspects of the human spirit we too easily forget if we focus only on the political problems of the day and those who create them.
Three weeks ago I attended the first-ever Lake Tahoe Ironman competition. It is arguably the toughest Ironman course in the world. Although the distances are the same as any other Ironman competition — a 2.4-mile swim, followed by a 112-mile bike ride, and finishing with a 26-mile run — because of both the altitude and the mountainous terrain to run and bike through, it takes about an hour longer to complete than most courses.
The swim started at 6:30 a.m. after a couple of inches of snow had fallen in the surrounding mountains the previous night. While awaiting the start, most of the athletes stood in the 60-degree water because it was warmer than the 32-degree air temperature. When they finished the marathon nine to 10 hours later, the temperature was in the mid-70s with the afternoon sun beating down in full force. More than 2,000 participants started the race. Less than 1,600 finished.
Then this past weekend I went to Kona for the World Ironman Championships. The times were faster in an environment that was the opposite of Lake Tahoe. The temperature hovered in the mid-80s, with not even a wisp of a breeze, and the humidity hovered around 80 percent. We were there to watch the female professional race comprised of the top 37 women out of the 300 elite professionals from around the world. They earn the right to compete by winning points through placing among the top handful of competitors at various races throughout the year. Those competing at Kona are thus the top 10 percent of triathletes in the world. Eight of the 37 did not finish because the grueling conditions. Once again, of the more than 2,000 overall event participants from around the world, several hundred did not finish. And these were the best in the world at every level, having had to qualify to participate.
We were there because our daughter-in-law, Elizabeth Lyles, decided to pursue a career as a professional triathlete last year at age 34 after having two kids. Many pros have successful careers without ever winning a race. But during her first year she won her first ever pro-level competition in Wisconsin while setting the course record for the marathon. Later she won a half Ironman at Boise, and finished fifth in the European Ironman Championships in Frankfurt in July, where she was the top American finisher. At Lake Tahoe she was again the top American finisher, with a podium finish behind three Europeans. She finished 16th at Kona and was sixth among American women.
It has been both inspiring and informative watching Liz pursue her dreams in this arena. But it has been equally as exciting to see the thousands of devoted followers of triathlon who embrace an amazing work ethic, tremendous respect for themselves and others, and work hard to breathe life into their passion. Wouldn't it be great if our elected representatives in Washington and Sacramento showed even a hint of this ethic, personal responsibility and respect for others?

Roundstone Apartment Rental Photos and Description
The visitors of the Ballynahinch domain, in the heart of Connemara, leave with the promise of coming back. The Old Manor overhangs the famous Ballynahinch Lake in a site steeped with history. At the origin, these lands were owned by the O'Flaherty Clan, Lords of Connaught. Famous personalities succeeded one another at the head of the domain like Grace O'Malley of the 15th century (The Pirate Queen of Connaught), Richard "Humanity Dick" Martin during the 18th century and Ranjitsinji Maharadjah at the beginning of the 19th century. At the beginning of the 18th century, a castle has been built by the Martins' on the Ballynahinch domain. Later, it was converted in barracks and became the domain employees' habitation during the Maharadjah era. Nowadays Restaured, the Old Manor offers the opportunity to rent a 4 stars three-floor apartment.
The spacious complex grouped around a yard offers a lake view, the Twelve Pins reliefs and forest.

FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) - Two female state workers have been fired after admitting to investigators that they had sex with a male prison inmate who was performing janitorial work at the Department of Housing, Buildings and Construction.
The Lexington Herald-Leader (http://bit.ly/KJ3ag0) reported on the investigation after obtaining documents through an Open Records Act request.
Scarlett Perry and Dawna King were fired earlier this month. According to state records, the illicit encounters sometimes happened in a janitorial closet during the employees' breaks.
The investigation began when the Franklin County Regional Jail intercepted a sexually graphic letter from the inmate to Perry.
The inmate's name was deleted from records because he is considered a victim of a possible crime.
A third Housing, Buildings and Construction Department employee, Benjamin Lawyer, was suspended for five days for failing to properly supervise the inmate and allowing him access to pornographic material that he viewed at work.
The reports also noted allegations that moonshine was repeatedly brought to the department and that department workers improperly sold copper fittings that plumbers used when taking exams.
The inspector general's office did not substantiate the moonshine allegations. It did make recommendations regarding the plumbing materials, including logging cash from the sales and documenting all purchases made with that cash.
