First lady Michelle Obama marked the one-year anniversary of Joining Forces on Wednesday. In an event at the White House, Mrs. Obama hailed the support she and Dr. Biden received when they called upon the country to support military and its families — only one percent of the population.
"Not a single person that we've talked to, that we have approached, has told us that they could not help -- not a single person," Obama said. "We've asked; they said yes."
The first lady even mentioned how people have gone beyond the minimum by doing more than initially planned.
"We'll present something, and [people] double it. They want to do even more. They just keep figuring out how to get more and more people involved," she said.

The mission no doubt failed because Barry required that the Seals call a lawyer before they can take a step. Step with the left foot, call a lawyer for permission first. Call a lawyer on the second step too. Were the Seals allowed more than 5 bullets? Enquiring minds want to know.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took a week – interviewed at McAfee in March 2008.Interview Details
After talking to the recruiter, and going through the usual "skills checklist" and "small talk" (personality assessment?), a phone interview (by the hiring manager) was conducted. The interview was mainly technical.
After that, a series of interviews was booked (all during the course of one day). First, there was a C++ test (to be solved by developing software on a stand-alone computer), followed by a 1:1 with the hiring manager (of a technical background), then a 1:1 with the director for the division (the hiring manager's manager).Interview Questions
Negotiation DetailsAs I already had an offer from another company at the time of the interviews, McAfee moved forward quite quickly, and made an offer on the next day, quoting they weren't interested in a "bidding war" with the other company.Accepted OfferPositive ExperienceAverage Interview

I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 4 days – interviewed at McAfee in August 2014.Interview Details
It consisted five rounds :
Round 1 : Wrirten test on basics of Java, C and Data Structures. It was damn easy. 20 questions in 30 minutes. I guess those could be solved in less than 15 minutes. Questions were based on array declaration, simple questions on stacks, queues, linked lists, BSTs and arrays.
Round 2: Out of 60, 24 were selected this round. It was technical interview. Questions asked were :
1. Write node structure of linked list in C?
2. Write a C program to detect loop in a linked list?
3. Write a program to reverse a linked list? 4. Write a program to reverse a linked list which contains a loop? Header node would be node where loop started.
I answered them all in one go. Interviewer was happy with my confidence and appraised me.
Round 3 : 12 were selected for this round. Again it was a technical interview. Questions asked were :
1. You have four identical looking tablets. Two are for cold and two are for fever. You have to take one fever and one cold tablet. Overdose may kill you. All tablets lie in same category container.
2. How to delete a node in a linked list pointer to which is given?
3. Swap even and odd bits in a 32 bit integer.
4. Implement queue using two stacks.
5. You have 25 horses and 5 lanes. 5 horses can race at a time. Minimum no. of races required to find top three horses.
6. How will you detect that two numbers on addition will overflow integer range?
Interviewers were a Sardarji and one other friendly guy. They greeted me and motivated me very well.
Round 4 : Only 7 were selected for this round. Again interviewer was friendly and told me various things about McAfee and their Gurgaon Wing.
1. How would you find median of two sorted arrays and its optimized solution?
I did that and he said "Cool". Actually, I don't know why they were asking so easy questions.
Then we had a long discussion on Over flow in adding two numbers and I suggested him a way and persuaded him successfully that my method was best.Interview Questions

Well I dropped 1kg (2lbs) this week and while it is no earth shaker it is much better than putting it on.
I'm glad the weather has cooled slightly, as I am getting tired of salad everyday.
WIll have a search around the site and look for some meals that don't require lettuce!!
I hope everyone comes and visits my page, I hope to update some of the pictures soon, I can't wait to post another one of me looking alot lighter and not so earnest.
Thank you to all who have commented on the page and to everyone in my teams.
See you all soon.
This is the first day of respectable weather to do some things. It has been extremely hot here the past week, topping with 39degrees in the shade on one day. I have had to do some mowing, thank goodness for the sit on mower, I'd expire if I had to mow 2 acres with the hand mower. I had to put one of my goats (Kali) (see picture) to sleep last week, she became very weak in the back legs and was getting very distressed at not being able to stand up, very sad day but the right thing to do. Fluffy is the only goat left and is getting very spoilt. This is the first week I have not had to take someone to the hospital or doctor, I am living it up. See you all soon.
My first Blog entry, if anyone is reading this forgive me if something is wrong or odd looking (apart from my picture!!)
I have only had my computer for16months so I'm still learning to navigate around all the different webpages.
I am still figuring out what to do with all the Sparkpeople bits and pieces but I think that this is the best thing I have seen on the net so far.
My picture at the moment was taken Christmas day after we had Christmas lunch, I'm looking a little harried and tired after running around all morning. I will lose weight, of that I am determined and hopefully next Christmas will see me looking a little less than I am at the moment.

Destiny Tours, in Toledo, Ohio failed to gain the proper federal permission to carry out interstate business.
An Ohio bus company has been ordered to cease interstate operations following the discovery that the company failed to obtain operating authority from the federal government. Destiny Tours, a tour bus company based in Toledo, Ohio, was investigated for its interstate operations.
"We are going to continue to use every tool we have to ensure bus companies comply with federal regulations," said U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood, in a department release. "Bus companies that attempt to dodge safety regulations by not properly registering have no place on our nation's roadways."
The Department of Transportation's Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration found that Destiny Tours crossed state lines for unauthorized commercial purposes.
"FMCSA regulations exist for one reason: to protect the traveling public," said FMCSA Administrator Anne S. Ferro, on the DOT website. "Company owners are required to know the safety regulations. If they willfully fail to adhere, they will be shut down on the spot."

- Changing the research university business model
- New delivery models will mean a repurposing of the physical plant and issues with space utilization

@ModestFan93 What kind of poor response is that? Lmao, you might want to look into what you're saying.
"Fighters come and go"? Those have always been up to the point of Brawl "clones", characters Sakurai did not feel added to the game. Mewtwo however was not such a character and was PLANNED to be in Brawl as indicated by the data files. It was due to time constraints that he was not added in NOT due to what Gamefreak had said. Funny you mention Gamefreak proprietary rights as it is a second party developer.... meaning Nintendo OWNS Gamefreak, Gamefreak can't legitimately block Nintendo from using what they own nor have they tried. What you said was completely false and made up.
As for Project M there's really no need for me to say a thing to you. You are quite clearly not a part of the community nor have you paid attention to anything within the community. Project M is the favoured Smash game to be competitively played now and one of the most distinctive characters offered by the game is Mewtwo. He is after all was the most hyped character during the reveal and a good reason why many decided to look at the game.
Thanks for your response but it has added absolutely nothing. Actually my advice to you is to know what you're saying before you try and share your "thoughts".

Introducing Veraval
Cluttered and chaotic, Veraval is one of India's major fishing ports; its busy harbour is full of bustle and boat building. It was also the major seaport for Mecca pilgrims before the rise of Surat. The main reason to come here now is to visit the Temple of Somnath, 6km southeast; while the town of Somnath is a nicer place to stay, Veraval is more convenient to public transport.

On the whole, if I had to give up one or the other - it would probably be the Mamiya system! Don't get me wrong, it's a great camera, very versatile, but compared to the Yaschica it feels like an albatross around the neck, and having the backs and lenses just means I CARRY most of that stuff too. When I'm just strolling around and think I might want a camera I take the Yashica (or 35mm depending on mood and potential subject.) The Yashica always gets admiring looks and compliments too, while non-photographers usually think the Mamiya is some kind of big digital camera.
There are other, more reliable, systems around that have interchangeable backs. I'd look around at those and wait until you could afford both.

If it weren't so real, so tragic, and such a critical wake-up call, it could be a sick joke: Ricky Lannetti, 21 years old and tough as a truck tire, was killed by a pimple on his butt.
He'd noticed the little welt last fall, when he was dressing for football practice at Lycoming College in Williamsport, Pennsylvania. It was right under the back strap of his jock and getting a little raw, but he sure as hell wasn't going to ask the trainers to look at a pimple, not while other guys were waiting to have real injuries wrapped and taped.
Besides, apart from that, he felt great. As a senior and a starting wide receiver for Lycoming, Lannetti was having the best season of his life: He set a school record with 16 catches in a game, then the following week broke the record for catches in a season. The next Saturday, he snagged five balls as the Warriors won in overtime to advance in the playoffs. The next Saturday, he was dead.
The MRSA "Superbug"
What was found in Lannetti's blood was a "superbug," an especially aggressive type of bacterial infection called MRSA. Until recently, few family doctors had ever seen methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, and even fewer people had died of it. But over the past year, it has spread so quickly—and mutated into such frighteningly powerful strains—that even paramedics now know it by its phonetic nickname: "Mersa."
"Two years ago, it was completely unheard of," says Greg Moran, M.D., an infectious-disease specialist at the UCLA school of medicine. His E.R. has seen an "amazing" increase in MRSA cases. "Of the people who come in with skin infections, 64 percent have MRSA," he says. "It's remarkable how fast it's become one of the most common things we see."
Recent estimates by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) place the number of people hospitalized with MRSA annually at approximately 100,000. "The majority of the infected seem to be men," says Dr. Moran, "although no one knows why. It's such a new thing, there's not a whole lot of published information out there." So little is known about this sudden surge in MRSA cases that Dr. Moran is leading a nationwide study of skin infections seen in emergency rooms. Until then, he says, "we're learning on the fly."
Spreading Infections
Just 10 years ago, chronically ill patients in hospital settings accounted for most MRSA infections. Kidney-dialysis patients, burn victims, and HIV-AIDS sufferers were among the high-risk groups, because their immune systems were weak and they took such heavy doses of strong antibiotics that their bodies became veritable petri dishes for the growth of superbugs. And even if they weren't growing their own germs, these patients often had bedsores that allowed bacteria to worm their way in.
But now, MRSA is turning up most among the people who'd least expect to get it: young, healthy men who are often in very good shape. Last year, several members of the Miami Dolphins, including star linebacker Junior Seau and kickoff-return ace Charlie Rogers, were infected with MRSA. Seau and Rogers had to be hospitalized, as did Tampa Bay Buccaneer Kenyatta Walker and the Cleveland Browns' Ben Taylor, who needed an emergency operation to beat the infection.
It's not just pro athletes who've been hit: Five members of a fencing team in Colorado were also stricken, as were two high-school wrestlers in Indiana, 10 college football players in Pennsylvania, and two more in California. Although no quantitative studies have broken down the MRSA outbreak by gender, the CDC has found that the majority of new infections are among young men who share some kind of skin-to-skin contact, such as through sports. Outbreaks have also been reported among military recruits (235 cases were diagnosed at one basic-training site in the South), gay men, police cadets, and prisoners. All those men recovered, but many needed hospitalization and heavy antibiotics.
"You don't even need direct contact to become infected," points out Barry Kreiswirth, Ph.D., the director of the Public Health Research Institute Tuberculosis Center. "Staph has been spread in locker rooms by towel snapping. If he's got turf burn on his leg and you've got the bacteria on the towel, he can become infected."
And the more MRSA spreads, the more aggressive it seems to become. Not long ago, a person infected with staph would show up in a doctor's office with nothing worse than an abscess.
But by 1999, MRSA had killed four otherwise healthy children in North Dakota and Minnesota. By December 2003, it was strong enough to kill Ricky Lannetti.

Leaked images show student protesters locked up in tiny, dark cell
In Gabon's capital Libreville, a group of striking university students has been kept locked up in a cell by the military police since Monday. A few of them were briefly released, which allowed them to disseminate photos and videos taken with a mobile phone they had managed to hide. These images show the students cramped together in a dirty, windowless space the size of a closet.
On June 11, a group of students taking part in a strike at Omar Bongo University held a rally to explain
their grievances
to their fellow students. When the police tried to intervene, 21 of the students lined up before them and gave themselves up. They were
taken into custody
by officers from the military police unit the Direction Générale des Recherches (DGR), and have since been sitting in their dreary cell, waiting to see a prosecutor. Two of them, including our Observer, were freed Wednesday; the rest remain locked up.
The photos they took of themselves in captivity have been circulating on Facebook since Wednesday, infuriating many Gabonese Web users. FRANCE 24 contacted Father Ondo Mintsa, a leading figure of Gabonese civil society, to get his reaction. He said these photos cast light on the government's "dictatorial methods" and claimed the students that remain in the cell had been "tortured" by DGR officers after these images appeared on the Internet.
[France 24 has tried to reach the DGR as well as the Gabonese Defence Ministry. We will publish their response to these accusations once we receive a reply.]
Students at Omar Bongo University launched their strike in response to reforms enacted in 2010 which continue to cause
. They are notably asking that the age cut-off for scholarships, now 27, be scrapped. Since January, protesting students and police have repeatedly clashed. The situation has become so tense that last month, the university's director asked for riot troops to be sent in.
This video was filmed inside the cell.

"There was faeces and urine on the cell's walls. Even criminals do not deserve to be kept there"
Edvine Ballack Obama, 22, is a student at Omar Bongo University. He is one of the 21 strikers who were arrested on Monday. He was released on Wednesday afternoon.
When we arrived at the DGR station, they asked us to undress. At first, I refused, so they slapped me and punched me in the ear. We tried to tell them this sort of treatment was against the constitution, but they just slapped us some more. Then, they took us to this tiny, dark cell. There was faeces and urine on the walls, as well as tons of mosquitoes. Even criminals do not deserve to be kept there.
Two of the students were asthmatic. And because there was no window in the cell, there was no air. They managed to negotiate with the DRG officers to let them out at night. So they were allowed to go back to the campus to sleep at night, but were forced to come back in the morning and spend the day in the cell with us. On the second day, we gave them photographs we had taken with our mobile phones so that they could put them on the Internet and inform people about our situation.
"They asked us: 'What ethnicity are you? Who is behind your group?"
The officers interrogated us individually. Each time, they asked the same questions: "What ethnicity are you?" "Who is behind your group?" They wanted to know if our ethnicity was Fang, because they think we are backed by André Mba Obame [an opposition figure who lost the presidential election in 2009. He is Fang, which is the largest ethnicity in Gabon, and which those in power link to the opposition]. We replied that we were just fighting for students' rights. They also asked us to sign a statement saying we were putting an end to our protest. None of us signed it.
"Ever since they let me go, the military police officers have been calling me non-stop on my mobile phone"
Tuesday afternoon, I started feeling really awful. I couldn't breathe, and the disgusting smells made me faint. [Another student was freed a few hours before; according to Edvine, he was having trouble breathing, too.] The others banged on the cell door so that someone would come. The officers took me out of the cell, but then just left me on the ground for nearly an hour. After that, I was taken to an infirmary, where they gave me an intravenous drip for an hour. They then took me back to the cell. Then on Wednesday afternoon, the officers freed me, saying I should go seek medical treatment. However, I don't have any money to go to the hospital, so I just went back to campus.
Ever since they let me go, the officers have been calling me non-stop on my mobile phone. They leave me messages asking me to come back to the cell. They must be scared that I'm talking about they did to us. I'm not answering my phone, but I'm afraid that they'll come find me at the university.
A sign in front of the Libreville courthouse reads, "Free the Students".

Whether you're a marathon runner or just starting out, wearing the right sneakers is key before you hit the track.
Top runners' favorite shoes
Whether you're a marathon runner or just starting out, wearing the right sneakers is key before you hit the track.
We asked some of the best runners from the 2010 to 2012 Long Island Marathons for their top running shoe recommendations.
Dan and Shaun McGrath, speedy brothers from Lynbrook who are both past winners, said they prefer something lightweight but with enough support to run serious distances. Lindsey Block of Huntington's feet felt free as she finished before every other woman in 2012 in her non-constricting Brooks Green Silence shoes.
Check out their recommendations and the picks of other men and women who have been among the first to cross the finish line.

Mike Frizzell has been installed as the 41st president of the National Truck Equipment Association (NTEA)—an association supporting the $98.3 billion commercial-truck and transportation-equipment industry—during the association's 41st Annual Convention. The convention was held in conjunction with The Work Truck Show, March 2-4, 2005, in Indianapolis.
Frizzell is president of Royal Truck Body in Sacramento, Calif.
"What I like about Mike as president of the NTEA is his tenacity," said NTEA executive director Jim Carney. "He suffered many setbacks in his business and some personal misfortunes that would have defeated a lot of people. But it just made him stronger. He became more resolved with each reversal to push forward. His ability to bounce back and persevere can be a lesson to all of us."

My Favorite Canadian Wedding Photographers
Photography is an essential part of your life due to the ability to get special occasions. You really need to do all of your research, therefore that you do not finish up dropping, ruining your photos, or missing significant photograph opportunities. There are lots of tricks listed below to help you begin improved your images skills.
Be creative when creating your shots. Images is all about the visual effect of your own shots. When it is a mundane item in a messy background, opportunities are great that no-one will care to take a look your photograph. Do not risk it with your wedding party photography, go with Wedding Photography Toronto. They are committed to your portraits! Learn how to make a good photo, and then take those skills and apply them to your own creative thoughts. Make use of lines to draw the viewer's eye to the photograph. Outlines will help give a feeling of depth to a picture. If done correctly, the lines themselves can also be an interesting theme themselves. The application of outlines in pictures is a complicated matter, however the chief thing to consider is that they should pull you in, not push you apart.
Don't be scared to interrupt some images guidelines with your cam. Great pictures takes unique style, and you want to show the entire world a new see throughout your lens. Try to avoid the style of photos you will probably have noticed several occasions before. Check out an innovative fashion along with your skills, and strive exceptional approaches. A terrific photography idea is to keep your sensor as clean as possible. In Case your sensor is grimy, you will get a filthy picture. Having a clean sensor can save you a lot of time by not needing to clean up a photograph within an image editing software.
The real trick to taking good photographs is to always don't forget that lighting may be the main point. Think of lighting constantly. It doesn't matter what the source of the lighting is, however it's the elemental part of a photograph. Utilize sunlight, a streetlight, a limelight and even the computer screen to capture any light and make an excellent picture. Pictures of people are fantastic. Get permission first. When touring, seeing these pictures will cause you to really remember specific memories, though the individuals you took a picture of don't stand out if you take their photo. Attempt taking natural expressions and everyday clothes.
Do not attempt to be exceptional all the time. You will not lose your status as a good photographer should you take some timeless looking photos. Figure out how to earn the difference between what's art and what is not. Do not change your basic photos of your friends to make them appear arty. Do not forget to take photos of yourself. You can still create the backdrop and select how you need to use light as well as colours. Provide instructions to your pal and look at the preview before going pause. These pictures will likely be nice memories when you look back at them.
There's a lot of issues which make-up pictures, and whether for fun or career, you want to get all the info you are able to so you understand that you are making the best moves. There are many methods and methods that you should learn, in case you really need to make a name for yourself, also in the event that you're not using it to a greater level. Be discerning about the elements which you have in your picture. Move ahead and remove anything from the picture that doesn't fit there or makes the body seem unbalanced. Utilize panning pictures that keep your subject in emphasis but obscure the background if you-can't remove all unwelcome interruptions from your picture.
Simply take your camera on you as frequently as you could. You will never know when a wonderful chance for a photo will show itself. Maintain your camera out and ready in the event that you expect to use it – from time you receive your camera out of the bag, have the lens cap off, and adjust your settings, your chance is finished. Hold the camera around your neck. Of course, in case you are in a high crime area, or in case you don't want it to be evident that you are a visitor, you will need to become a little more discreet.
They'd put things on the papers soaked in gold nitrate and expose it to the sunlight. After some time the region covered under the item remained white while the remaining space turned black. Nonetheless, the picture formed was momentary, and so the system didn't last extended. Around the generations, the principles, the procedure and also the substance used in picture taking had several changes. After trying out different processes like Daguerre and calotype procedure, finally collodion, or the wet dish technique was universally-accepted. Take your pictures quickly. Taking more time to click a photo raises the chances that something may move, change or in different ways ruin your perfect photo op. It is best if you're able to take shots fast. PPPPP 743
Use a quite low ISO. An excellent ISO is around 200. By using this range of ISO can make your images appear dark in certain scenarios, but you can easily alter the contrast and light over a computer. If you are using a higher ISO, you're going to obtain a lot of noise on your picture, which makes editing harder. As you have seen, photography is merely an issue of getting the right camera, and making use of the proper strategies. Even though you cannot draw or color, you may shoot an image. After reading this post, at this point you understand only what it takes to take a fantastic picture, and you may turn photography into an artwork!

WHITBY -- As the riding students participating in summer camp at Reidell Farms enjoy their lunch, staff is taking the time to work with the horses, especially the young foals.
"It's like with a human. You always want your baby to be around people so they have that interaction," says Brianna Simpson, a 15 year old who grew up down the street and is very comfortable with the animals on the farm.
She pets a particular foal who seems to adore the attention.
"He's the one if I go out in the field, he comes and sits on my lap," she says.
The family-owned-and-operated farm is run by Bill and Rose Reid, with the help of their two children Ammie and B.J. The award-winning farm offers more than just horse riding lessons -- it has crops, horse boarding and dog and cat grooming as well.
It's home to a variety of ponies and horses.
"We have a few foals and mares that go back to Northern Dancer," says owner Rose Reid.
Ms. Reid takes time to explain the teachings of Reidell Farms, the horsemanship method, that listening to the horse and paying attention to their body language is the best form of communicating and establishing a relationship with the horse. The students learn that horses are not just sporting equipment, and that riding a horse "encompasses how the horse feels, not just how the rider feels."
Next, Brianna hops onto her pony, Leah, for her first ride since the pony gave birth about a month beforehand.
"This pony, I'll have her forever," says Brianna. "When I have kids, they'll be riding her hopefully."
Brianna walks her beloved Leah over to the barn that's used for lessons. When she puts her helmet on and sits on Leah's back, it's as if the pair had gone for a ride yesterday.
As they trot around, the pony's foal follows closely behind.
Brianna calls out for one of the barn cats, Digit, but he must be camera shy because he's nowhere in sight.
Next, Ms. Reid decides she'd like to take Brewster, her stunning, 11-year-old half thoroughbred, half quarter horse, for a ride. So she climbs up on a wooden beam attached to a wall and calls him over.
"So many riders take a mounting block and chase the horse to get on," she says.
But not her. Brewster simply makes his way over to Ms. Reid and waits for her to get on.
"I gently get on his back the way I would want someone to get on my back," she explains.
Once on the horse, without a saddle or bridle, Ms. Reid is able to control Brewster by simple body positions. When she sits upright and alert, he starts to trot. She gently uses her legs to indicate a direction. When she's ready to stop, she relaxes her body and Brewster takes her cue.
"This kind of philosophy of horses is getting to the horse's mind before the body," she says.
The students, who do learn with a saddle and bridle, but with no bits in the horse's mouth, are now finished their lunch. They watch Ms. Reid in awe as she and Brewster demonstrate the great bond they've established with one another.
As the sun beats down onto the farm, there's a pretty good chance the students will go for a swim in the Reid family's pool.
Afterward, another group of students will come to the farm for their evening lessons.
