Defying common wisdom, most security challenges in the world today are not random, unrelated happenings. Rather, they are part of a conflict environment in which a burgeoning number of armed groups and other non-state actors, sometimes aided by authoritarian states, constitute the predominant and persistent sources of instability. Clear patterns can be seen in the global security environment and they will continue to threaten peace and security for at least the next quarter of a century. Dr. Roy Godson and Dr. Richard Shultz will discuss these patterns and highlight key findings and recommendations from a new report – Adapting America's Security Paradigm and Security Agenda. The report was produced with the assistance of senior security practitioners from democracies around the world under the auspices of the National Strategy Information Center. Godson and Shultz argue that the United States needs a set of tools and skills suited to the world as it is and as it is likely to evolve, not as it was.

For one woman this Christmas, she's growing her family by three. It's been an extra special Christmas this year for Charlotte Moore and her 3 sons.
"This is making me feel a little younger. I'm raising kids again," said Moore.
The 61-year old mother of five grown daughters adopted Qwaylin, J'siah, and Jason in November. Jason came to the home as Charlotte's foster son when he was just a few days old.
"I was going to take him home for a couple of days, and he's been here two years now."
She's the only mother he's ever known. Big brothers Qwaylin and J'siah moved in a few months later.
"I asked them, would it be alright for me to be their mom, and they said yes," explained Moore. "I went to my pastor, and he said Charlotte, if you feel that in your heart, then go for it,"
The Adopt America Network says right now in the United States 130,000 children are in foster care waiting for their forever families.
"What it means is that children have love, that they have someone to call Mommy, have someone to hold them, to be there when they're sick," explained Adoption Case Worker, Tyra Shellabarger
That's just the kind of mom Charlotte's daughter Christina remembers.
"Kinda sorta they can't do no wrong and we were always in trouble but they got a good mom. They got a really good mom," said Christina Moore.
Happy to have a full house again, Charlotte is proud of her boys.
"I believe they're gonna be good and intelligent kids because they make good grades," said their mother.
And this Christmas season there's just one lesson she hopes they learn.
"It's not about these gifts. It's about love and trying to do the right thing."
There are a couple of national websites to help you learn about adoption.
They include https://www.childwelfare.gov/adoption/adoptive/index.cfm and www.adoptuskids.org.Family 411: Holiday Adoptions

text: International Psychoanalytical Association Financial Procedures and Policies: Reimbursement Reimbursement Claims 1. Requests for reimbursement accompanied by appropriate documentation should be submitted to the Finance Director. The Budget Holder is responsible for assuring that claims for activities of that cost centre fall within the applicable budget. Forms 2. Any member or Budget Holder claiming reimbursement for expenses incurred on behalf of the IPA should use the official claim forms which is are attached to this document as appendix 1. Committee and Working Group members should submit their individual claim forms with supporting documentation to the Budget Holder for approval of the request. The approved claim form should then be forwarded to the Finance Director. Alternatively the claimant can submit the claim direct to the Finance Director and the chair can email to the Finance Director their approval of the claim. Budget Holders and members should keep a copy of the claim form for their own records. Central Office aims to dispatch reimbursements within ten working days of receipt. Claims may be submitted by post, e.mail or fax but claimants should note that it can take time for claims to reach the UK by post and for mail then to reach their banks and be processed by them. Documentation 3. Evidence supporting each reimbursement request should be submitted with the claim form, or payment will not be made. To protect against mishaps in the mail, Committee members are asked to keep copies of supporting documents. These include airline ticket receipts, hotel statements, taxi receipts and any other receipts or credit card transaction copies. Allowable reimbursables: Meetings 4. The per diem allowable depends on the location and is determined by a world-wide schedule originated by the United States Internal Revenue Service which serves as a guideline for many organisations. A per diem is payable when a day of travel is required to reach the venue of a meeting, and for days when a person is required to be at the venue in order to attend a meeting. Only Apex Economy or comparable inexpensive fares can be reimbursed. First Class or Business Class fares do not qualify for IPA reimbursement, without exceptional and prior approval of the Executive Committee. Travel planning for more than three months in advance may be required to obtain reimbursable Apex Economy fares. No reimbursement for airfares is paid when an IPA Member attends a meeting which is being held in conjunction with a Congress, or any other meeting which an IPA Member would have attended anyway at her/his own expense, or funded by another organisation. However, when a Board meeting is held in conjunction with a regional or Constituent Organisation meeting, Board members from that region may claim expenses on a comparable basis with all other Board members. Hotel accommodation will be reimbursed for the night before a meeting and the night after if 1 necessary, any additional nights will not be reimbursed unless previously agreed by the Treasurer. Allowable reimbursables: Secretarial 5. The IPA does not contract with secretaries external to the Central Office. But in a few cases, approved in advance by the Executive Committee, the B&FC may approve such expenses within certain constraints. These include compensation only for the hours of service itself and not compensation for holidays, vacation periods, sick pay, bonus pay, severance pay, or any other emoluments. Invoices to claim such reimbursement must specify the hours of work, the hourly compensation rate, and the nature of the work delivered. 6. The IPA will repay expenses to officers for secretarial assistance on the following general basis: a. The President will be allowed a full time secretary; the Secretary General a half time secretary; and the Treasurer a quarter time secretary. b. The IPA should not contract secretaries but request officers to contract them with the IPA refunding the costs. The IPA may indemnify the officers as necessary against any unforeseen circumstances. c. Exceptions to these three principles may only be allowed at the discretion of the Treasurer, unless the Treasurer is seeking the exception, in which case it will be referred to the Secretary General. Allowable reimbursables: Conference Calls Various companies are used for conference calls. Participants dial into conference calls using free-phone numbers. Please contact the Central Office for details on how to arrange conference calls. If a Chair prefers to use another conference company they may do so with prior approval from the Treasurer of the costs involved. Broomhills will reimburse all such pre approved costs of a conference call submitted as a claim with a copy of the bill. Where possible it is suggested that Skype is used for smaller conference calls. Allowable reimbursables: Executive Committee at IPA Congresses 7. In recognition that certain members of the Executive Committee are required to attend many administrative meetings during Congresses and have little or no time to attend the official Congress meetings, the IPA funds the hotel room costs of the President, Secretary General and Treasurer throughout the period of the Congress. In addition, the IPA waives the Congress registration fees of those eligible for this provision. This provision applies equally to the President-Elect, Secretary General-Designate or Treasurer-Elect at the Congress during which they are to take up office as President, Secretary General or Treasurer. The IPA does not pay for these Executive Committee members' transportation to and from or during the Congress, tickets for the Congress farewell party, or subsistence costs during the days of the Congress itself. 2 Allowable reimbursables: Editor of the News Magazine (and e- Newsletter) 8. The News Magazine Editor may be invited to attend the Board meeting at IPA expense only when Board meetings are held in his/her own IPA Region. The Editor may be invited to attend Board meetings not held in his/her own IPA Region but not at IPA expense. Reimbursement Restrictions 9. Hotels: In order to obtain meeting room space at no or reasonable cost that otherwise would be expensive, the IPA books a block of rooms for Board members for summer and winter administrative meetings. Therefore hotel reimbursement will be made only for those members staying in the designated hotel. Those members who choose to stay elsewhere will not be reimbursed for lodging. Reservations at the meeting hotel are made by individual members who are notified well in advance of the locale and other related matters. 10. No reimbursement should be claimed for accommodation where a member has stayed free of charge on IPA business. 11. Honorary Officers of the Board shall not be entitled to claim any expenses from the IPA for attendance at Board meetings, with the exception of those occasions requiring their presence related to a specific need to report to the Board in person on a specific task assigned in writing by the President or by the Board. Reimbursement Choices 12. Assuming that a trip involves reimbursable travel expenses, there are two possible ways open to claim reimbursement for hotel and meal costs. The choice of either one must be made, as a combination of the two is not reimbursable. The choices are as follows: a. select the per diem for that meeting in that city, available from the Finance Director, send in the receipts for the actual hotel and meal costs. . There is a cap or maximum amount allowable using this method, set in advance and available from the Finance Director. Timing 13. Reimbursement claims should be submitted within six weeks of the date the expense was incurred. The IPA is required to close all accounts for the calendar year four weeks after the end of the year. All claims for the prior year must be received no later than 31st January. Any claim received after this time will not be honoured as the books of account for that year will be closed. Paragraph 11 approved by the Executive Council in December 1998 Paragraph 6 added November 2004 Board approval of recommendation from the B&FCttee Addition to paragraph 4 to allow Board members to be reimbursed airfares when travelling to a Board meeting held in conjunction with a regional or Constituent Organisation meeting held in the same region, Board approval January 2006 3 4 5

Vanessa Hudgens Pics: Doing Drugs at Coachella?by Free Britney at . Comments
Vanessa Hudgens at the center of another photo scandal? Incredible!
The actress ditched her usual squeaky clean image in favor of hippie chic on the first day of the Coachella Festival, but it's not her fashion that has people talking.
The young star was spotted enjoying some food, then was seen sampling a strange white substance from a pouch. Check out the Vanessa Hudgens pictures here:
The photos shown above are definitely her, and definitely show Vanessa Hudgens licking a white substance off her finger at Coachella in Indio, Calif.
We know what it looks like ... but she says it's not what it looks like.
A rep for the Sucker Punch starlet told E! News that the stuff was actually melted white chocolate. Right. Because everybody samples that out of a bag.
Eh, we'll give her the benefit of the doubt here. After having nude pics leaked about 12 times in the past few years, she could use it, don't you think?
On a side note, she was there with rumored BF Josh Hutcherson!
[Photo: PacificCoastNewsOnline.com]
Nice Sara!! LOL
I would be too :)
maybe she's thinking about zach when she licks her fiuger lol
she may or may not be using drugs this photo is proof of nothing
real-wishes dot com where wishe3s become reality
i was at coachella & the weather was hot it was like 80 something dregrees. She might be eating a white chocolate candy bar that melted in her purse or something
Drugs, chocolate, whatever. What's really shocking are her Chewbacca-like hair extensions. Urrhg!
There's a big difference between melted white chocolate and coke. I don't think she'd be running around sampling coke in public, she must know better than that. Everyone is always watching.
If that's powder, how is it staying on her finger at the angle she's holding it? It looks innocent to me.
It cant be drugs, if it was than she wouldnt be sitting outside eating it in front of paparazzi and other people. Im telling u guys, its just some kind of candy or chocolate, there is such a thing as powder candy.
seriously what is you guys deal? Why can't any celebrities do anything without being critisized? I love Vannessa Hudgens and I don't think she would do something like that, plus maybe it's that lick-a-stick stuff?
Its drugs people HELLO!!! How many of ya'll caRry frosting or crap like that in ur purse. Give me a break and get off the drugs!!!

Comedian Anderson still hurting from diving mishap
Comedian Louie Anderson says he's been in pain all week from a recent diving mishap during a taping of the ABC celebrity diving show "Splash."
Associated Press
Comedian Louie Anderson says he's been in pain all week from a recent diving mishap during a taping of the ABC celebrity diving show "Splash."
Anderson, who weighs more than 400 pounds, was trying to do a flip from the 5-meter board when he slammed into the water, landing on his face and chest.
"If I were lying down right now, you would have to help me up," the 60-year-old Anderson said Wednesday. "It's been almost a week and it still hurts almost as much."
Anderson, who skipped diving practice Tuesday night to take the stage in Sioux Falls, S.D., for a show benefiting the Brennan Rock & Roll Academy, said he asked the "Splash" staff after the accident if he was suffering internal bleeding or damage but was told no.
"They said, `That's your abs. You've never worked them,'" Anderson joked. "The last time I worked them was when I was struggling to get out of my mother. That was it, and I haven't worked them since."
The American version of "Splash," a surprise hit that originated in Europe, has Olympic gold medalist Greg Louganis coaching a diverse cast of celebrities that includes Detroit Lions lineman Ndamukong Suh, 2012 Miss Alabama Katherine Webb, basketball great Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and former Baywatch star Nicole Eggert.
Anderson said he's not alone coming away with some bumps and bruises.
"Ndamukong Suh hit his nose. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar sprained his neck," he said. "Nicole was up on a handstand and she slammed her chest and stomach into the 5-meter board and then fell into the water - and then, two hours later, had to do the dive on TV."
Anderson, who just learned how to swim five years ago, said he decided to give the show a try after producers showed him a clip of the Netherlands version. He said it's the most exciting thing he's ever done.
"I'm at 23 feet, diving into 17 feet of water. I'm over 400 pounds," he said. "Who doesn't want to see that? I do. I'm always shocked that I can do it."
The stand-up comedian said he's glad the show is catching on with viewers.
"I didn't have any idea if it would be a hit or not," he said. "I was either going to be inspirational or a laughingstock. So I'm lucky that some people thought I did a good job."
Anderson said he's having a lot of fun, but he's also trying to win.
"I know people don't think I have a chance, but that's how I think," he said. "Why do it if you don't do it great?"

I had just learned to read and write so it was all very exciting...

Dating on the Hill
Fifty-two and newly divorced. Sounds like the symptoms for something fatal. I moved to Cathedral Hill and started going to Nina's Coffee Café for daily dialysis.

Get com- fortable with being alone."
The Vagabonds of Children's Hospital
I wake up from a deeply sedated sleep; I am scared. I don't understand my surroundings, nor how I arrived here. I search for a glimpse of familiarity, the eyes of my loving mother, my adoring father's warm hands. There they are. They tell me they have not left my side in two days. I have given everyone quite a scare. Bacterial tracheitis killed numerous children in 1980. I was among the first in the state to survive. As a mother now, I can almost understand the terror that my parents felt those first forty-eight hours.
Our Lady of Peace High School 1952-56
In 1952 I became an O.L.P. girl by default.

It was a financial decision. Grudgingly, I joined the 190 girls who made up the second graduating class at O.L.P., which quickly had been dubbed the "Old Ladies Prison" by the boys at Cretin.

Finally! Mother Nature has been hiding her rain since June 16, with only one slight, quick scattered shower since. High temps have combined to cause the area to be designated a drought area and there has been a burn ban in effect for weeks. But today, about 10 minutes ago (at this 2:13 p.m. posting), the skies darkened up and she let loose her fury of rain, causing quick puddles and flash flooding in areas around Marshall County. Check back for more weather details as they become available.

Amazon.comThe Fiskars 8-inch shrub rake features a nearly-unbreakable rake head made from virgin resin, and extra-wide tines. The unit's tines exhibit a gentle curve that rakes shrubs easily while not disturbing grass or ground cover, and the narrow 8-inch head allows you to easily rake between and around shrubs and plants. The sturdy aluminum shaft is lightweight for ease of use, and is also teardrop-shaped for ergonomic comfort.

The Meaning of Life"Life is hard, very hard, but as they say "shit happens" its all about dealing with it and pushing through to the good."
"Everything will be alright in the end"
Why is it that people always say such things when they arent always true?
I think its because the truth is depressing. No one really KNOWS what happens in life. No one can say how things will turn out. But if you go through life expecting only the bad stuff to happen then things wont work out, things wont be ok, ever. At least saying stuff like "everything will be alright" allows people to believe it. As long as you believe in something and never give up then you have a fighting chance at happiness.
No one knows the reason we live, no one knows why we exist, all we know is how to live and thats all we need to know.
Its like religion, no one KNOWS that there is a God but most people believe in him/her anyway. Everyone has their own views and beliefs about it but they still believe in him/her. Thats the connection to life. No one

WILMINGTON — On Saturday night, the Bruins announced shortly before their game at San Jose that Justin Florek would be going back to Providence, making room for Shawn Thornton as the enforcer returned from his 15-game suspension.
Logically, Florek was the easy pick as the odd man out. The role he would've been asked to play was as a 13th forward and Florek doesn't require to pass through waivers to go to and from the AHL.
By comparison, Jordan Caron, now the 13th forward once again, would have to go to waivers and could've been picked by any team willing to pay the 23-year-old former first-round pick's minimum salary.
Why lose a player to a rival team when the replacement is going to be a spare part anyway?
Not that it stopped many fans (and some in the media) from criticizing the move, those who have decided Caron, the No. 25 overall selection four years ago, is not worthy of breathing air as a Boston Bruin any longer.
Caron has one point this season, a goal in the second game of the season. He has 26 points in 111 career games, numbers far below what scouts projected for the Quebec native.
On Monday, Claude Julien was asked how he felt Caron was playing before being forced out of the lineup for a back injury, an ailment that still has him at less than 100 percent. The coach took the opportunity to defend his much-maligned winger.
"I said it before, that's a guy that's bounced around, from line to line, from right to left, from left to right," Julien said. "At one point you have some compassion for a guy like that who never gets to be on a steady line like that from the outside. It's pretty easy to want to criticize him, but I think you need guys like that sometimes in your roster to go wherever you tell them to go. He hasn't been a guy that's maybe generated a ton offensively, but he's done his job along the walls, he's been pretty reliable. He's done exactly what needs to be done as far as that's concerned.
"As far as his stats, not impressive, but you have to understand what he goes through and what I appreciate from him is he always has a positive attitude — you're going to play here, you're going to play there, you're going to move up here, you're going to kill penalties, the next night you're not. Whatever is needed, he's always been ready to do the job."
To expand on some of Julien's points:

Your Product Demo Sucks Because It's Focused on Your Product
"There will be haters. There will be doubters. And then there will be you proving them wrong."
This is how Robert Falcone thinks about product demos because he's lived it firsthand. As a co-founder of his own startup, and now working closely with customers at marketing software maker Monetate, he's given hundreds of product demos. For a while, many were not successful, but he's used that experience to his advantage.
"I thought it was just as easy as telling people what the product was and what it did," says Falcone. "But then I'd finish and people would either be confused or just politely say, 'Thank you,' and we'd never hear from them again."
After getting this response time and time again, he was determined to crack the product demo code. If clarity meant conversions, how could he change his delivery to give people clarity the first time around? To find the answer, he continued to pitch and demo, A/B test, observe and repeat. The lessons he gleaned are collected in his new book "Just F*cking Demo," which recently hit Amazon's list of hot new releases.
In this exclusive interview, Falcone shares the structure of a winning product demo and the tactics he's discovered to convince people that they need your product in just one conversation.

Compassion Over Killing
|Paul Shapiro
|Cruelty to animals in agriculture
|Key people
|Erica Meier
Compassion Over Killing (COK) is a nonprofit animal protection organization based in Washington, D.C., founded by Paul Shapiro and currently led by Erica Meier. Formed in 1995, COK's primary campaigns are to advocate against factory farms and promote vegetarian eating. While it welcomes those who are interested in animal welfare who eat meat, the group encourages a transition to a plant-based diet, even if gradual or part-time.[1]
Activities and campaigns[edit]
COK's activities and campaigns include:
- Distribution of vegetarian dietary starter guides.
- Manufacturing and distributing pro-vegetarian commercials on television.
- Direct street canvassing and distribution of organization position materials.
- Protesting in front of restaurants.
- Distribution of vegetarian restaurant guides.
- Writing letters and op-ed to local newspapers.
- Restaurant outreach program advocating for restaurants to serve vegan food.
In 2005, egg producers dropped an "Animal Care Certified" label from their products after Compassion Over Killing filed a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission for false advertising on the part of the egg companies.[2] Compassion Over Killing said that the egg label implied that the care of the animals had met a certain standard of animal conditions, which the egg producers had not; the National Advertising Review Board agreed that the label was deceptive.[2] The FTC complaint was dropped when the egg industry agreed to exchange the label in favor of one stating, "United Egg Producers Certified".[2]
The organization has since launched successful campaigns urging Morningstar Farms, Boca, and LightLife to use fewer eggs in their products.
At the 2009 Taking Action for Animals conference hosted by the Humane Society of the United States, Erica Meier introduced Compassion Over Killing's new campaign to urge Dunkin' Donuts to remove animal products from its donuts. Compassion Over Killing had already started a campaign for Dunkin' Donuts to stock soy milk in its shops,[3] which the company did in certain regions.
US VegWeek: As of 2014, COK has completed their sixth VegWeek. VegWeek is a campaign where people make a pledge to participate in the pro-veg movement for one week. In 2014 over 6,000 people participated, including federal, state, and local representatives, celebrities, and community members. [4]
Compassion Over Killing has also conducted multiple undercover investigations on the conditions of animals raised for food in the U.S.
The group conducted an investigation into the living conditions at Maryland henhouses, documenting corpses found in group cages and rescuing some of the hens found in the worst conditions.[1] One of the farms documented, owned by ISE America, housed more than 800,000 hens.[5] Following a tipoff about substandard conditions at the farm, COK requested permission to visit the farm before proceeding with an undercover investigation.[5]
The egg industry said that conditions found in photos and videos produced by COK did not give an accurate view and it was illegal for Compassion Over Killing to remove the hens.[1] The spokesperson for the owner of the farm in question said that the conditions found at the farm were "normal industry practices."[6] While one of the farms asserted that the video footage was not taken at its farm, Compassion Over Killing had filmed its GPS location as well as mail addressed to the farm in question.[7]
In early 2006, a Compassion Over Killing investigation inside a Pennsylvania egg farm led to criminal charges of 35 counts of animal cruelty against the owner and manager of the farm, the first case of its kind.[8] Although, charges were pressed by a local animal control officer after viewing a video provided by COK, the owner and manager of the farm were eventually acquitted in 2007. [9]
In 2013, a COK activist was arrested (although charges were eventually dropped) in Colorado for filming alleged cattle abuse at the Quanah Cattle Company and failing to report the abuse "in a timely manner." COK executive director Erica Meier stated this is a "shoot-the-messenger strategy aimed at detracting attention away from the crimes of those who actually abused animals."[10]
How COK Encourages Community Involvement[edit]
There are many ways people can help the efforts of COK in their communities.
- Leafletting: One of the simplest ways COK encourages people to get involved is by sharing pro-veg literature in communities. COK provides free literature to be distributed throughout communities.
- Organizing a Feed-In: A feed-in is a way to expose communities to free vegan food samples. Hosting feed-ins help others learn about vegan recipes.
- Restaurant Outreach: Reaching out to restaurants in one's community and encouraging them to offer vegan options is another way COK encourages involvement. COK considers this strategy help to the success of the business, but also to the people participating in the pro-veg movement. [11]

Dallas Mavericks

Jason Terry flashes back to Golden State
By Tim MacMahon
DALLAS – The Mavs have had more lopsided playoff losses in recent years – thanks to a 10-0 run in garbage time – but Thursday night's 95-79 whipping by the Thunder made Jason Terry flash back to 2007.
"[Expletive], Golden State. Golden State, [expletive]," Terry said when asked whether he'd ever been through anything like this game, using a couple of different colorful words to express his frustration. "We had no rhythm and just couldn't figure it out."
It's as bad as Terry as felt after a playoff game since the 111-86 rout that sealed the eighth-seeded Warriors upset over the 67-win Mavericks.
"You've got to take your hat off to them," Terry said. "They came out and played a hell of a game tonight, kicked our ass in every facet of the game."
