The New York Islanders are currently several years deep into their rebuilding process, but seven months from now, the team fully intends on securing one of eight playoff spots in the National Hockey League's Eastern Conference.
At the Islanders Media Day on Tuesday, Sept. 21, Anton Newspapers was invited to an on-ice practice and locker room session with the team during training camp, and the energy surrounding the team mirrored its playoffs-or-bust mentality.
Forward Matt Moulson, a 30-goal scorer for the Islanders during his first season with the team in 2009-2010, noted the team had made significant strides last year and is ready to take the next step as an organization.
Brian Lang, of Hicksville, recently contributed to the For the Love of the Game (FLG) lacrosse program during the summer. The Massapequa-based FLG Boys 2015 Lacrosse Team had a successful record, winning four out of six tournaments. Several tournaments were held at the seventh-grade level and others at the eighth-grade level, and while the increase in age level was harder, it helped prepare the 23 players for better competition. As the season progressed, the team developed a much greater intellect for the game. During the season and while attending the FLG one-week summer camp, lifelong friendships were ultimately built.
Team try-outs for boys 2015, 2016 and 2017 teams will take place on Sunday, Oct. 3 at Cold Spring Harbor High School. Try-outs are one day only so please complete the online registration form on the "Welcome Page" of the FLG website www. 4theloveofthe game.org.
Junior midfielder Courtney Breen, a Hicksville resident, was recently named the Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) Women's Soccer Player of the Week.
Breen was recently named the Most Valuable Player of the Hofstra Invitational after leading the Pride to a 3-1 win over Rhode Island and a 4-1 win over Fordham. She assisted on the game-winning goal in the second half of the Rhode Island win, then scored twice in the second half of the Fordham victory for her first career two-goal game.
"Courtney has become a big-time player. She plays with such tremendous composure on the ball that she brings a sense of calm and confidence to the entire team. She consistently makes good decisions, and gives us a big lift on both ends of the field. She's been a huge part of our success so far this season," said Simon Riddiough, head coach.
On Aug. 28 the Underdogs and Ricky's G's held the 2nd annual Ricky Greene Memorial Softball Game and Fundraiser on what would have been Ricky's 25th birthday. This year they were raising money for a scholarship in Ricky's name that is given to a Hicksville High School student who excels in theater. Friends, family and fans gathered around field D while trying their luck on over fifty raffles and scratch-off prizes. They enjoyed the music of DJ Jimmy Montana and were greeted by special guest Long Island Ducks mascot, Quackerjack. For the second year in a row the teams split the doubleheader with Ricky's G's taking the first game 20-18 and the Underdogs taking game two by a score of 26-7. Robert Greci (Underdogs) and Sean Greene (Ricky's G's) took home game MVP honors as voted on by the players. A special thank you to all that came out to help us fundraise over $3,800 for the scholarship.
Hicksville Community Tennis 2010 Long Island Regional Championship team, Hicksville Smash, traveled to Schenectady to represent the Long Island Region at the 2010 United States Tennis Association (USTA) Eastern Summer Sectional Championship.
Coached by Steven Abbondondelo and captained by David Engelhardt, the team of Anthony Pastecchi, Scott Jackson, Domenick Evangelista, Danielle LaPierre, Jennifer Carnovale, and Danielle Byrnes, finished a close second in the 18 and under division to Sports Plex BNCTA from Buffalo.
Team member Danielle Lapierre was honored with one of two Sportsmanship Awards presented in their division.
The USTA Eastern Section hosted a party for participants at the completion of match play on Saturday.
A special thanks to all the parents for their continued support.
The Hicksville Heat summer recreational baseball team had a remarkable season winning all six of the games they played. The team competed in the Garden City Travel League for ages 13-15. They defeated rival teams from Garden City, New Hyde Park, Mineola, Malverne and Williston Park. The members of the team were Paul Brohan, Kevin Cashman, Chris Castaldo, Ross Castaldo, Andrew Haszto, Kyle Krauch, Patrick Lavin, Sydney Mojica, Matt Pagan, Matthew Prusak, Bryan Sarnelli, Anthony Stama, Daniel Sheehan, Corey Syracuse, David Vidad and Eric Werenberg. Richard Castaldo and assistants Charlie Sheehan, Glen Werneberg and Ron Stama coached the team.
St. Ignatius Basketball announced that registration for the 2010-2011 basketball season continues through Sept. 30. Instructional leagues for kindergarten through first-grade and second and third-grade are now forming and will start the weekend after Thanksgiving. Travel boy's teams are also forming for fourth through eighth-grades, with league play set to start in November.
Join the growing St Ignatius CYO program. Coaches are welcome and needed at every level. For more information, visit us at www.stignatiouscyo.org.
On Saturday, Aug. 7, Mastermind Unit (MMU) partnered with the Michael Magro Foundation, a Hicksville organization dedicated to safeguarding and enhancing the lives of pediatric cancer patients and their families, to translate an 18-team soccer tournament into a mega-charity event that raised close to $10,000 to benefit the Foundation and its mission on behalf of children with cancer.
The sudden spike in soccer interest generated by the World Cup games made the Mastermind Unit's Third Annual Soccer for a Cause Tournament an obvious crowd-pleaser. A non-profit group empowering individuals to take a leadership role in their community, MMU members are challenged to leverage their skills by creating new ideas, helping others and serving as catalysts for change.
The 13- and 14-year-old Cardinal Baseball teams competed in a split squad game on July 30 at historic Doubleday Field in Cooperstown. The boys prepared for the trip all spring, participating in numerous fundraisers and raffles throughout the year so as to maximize their experience.
In addition to playing on the field, a field where hundreds of Major League players and future Hall of Famers also played, the trip included a tour of the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum.
Training camp for the 11-year-old Hicksville Crusaders is now in full swing. Marty Ketelsen is beginning his seventh year as head coach for this group of Crusaders. Once again Peter Capel, Kevin McPartland, Rob McBride, Steve Delaney and Tom Fleming have returned as assistant coaches to help Ketelsen with the team.
During the first few weeks, the focus will be on conditioning. In this way, the boys will be well prepared for the vigors of what they are about to face. As the team gets further into training, the emphasis will be on techniques: blocking, tackling as well as running and passing plays will be the order of the day.

text: Raging Hypocrisy Alert: Politico's Jonathan Martin Defends Use of 'Cracker' by John Nolte 3 Feb 2012 post a comment Share This: So if I understand how this works, we currently live in a media world where "Juan" is racist, where "food stamps" is racist, where pointing out that a president who enjoys basketball enjoys basketball is racist. But "cracker"? Why, that's not improper in the least. ----- Well, I guess it's okay to use the slur "cracker" for the for the same reason it's okay to use the N-word. Some in the black community use the N-word and some in Florida use the word "cracker." Oh, wait; it's not okay to use the N-word. Anyway, what does logic have to do with the mainstream media justifying and rationalizing anything they do? But justify and rationalize Jonathan Martin did when he called in to Newsbusters to justify and rationalize his use of the word "cracker." You can read the whole thing here, but this is my all-time favorite part: Let's face it, you were on MSNBC where virtually every criticism of Barack Obama they report as being somehow racist." "Totally agree that there is now a culture in the sort of political media universe on both sides where there is this sort of outrage industry that has been created where both sides monitor the other and try to find examples of offensive comments that can be seized upon and stirred up entirely for political gain where you have this, again, faux indignation, but it's really just posing as indignation," he said. "It's all about political point scoring, and I think it absolutely takes place now on both sides." He elaborated, "It's the same goal, and it's to try to catch the other side in saying something that is going to be received as offensive or outrageous or politically damaging or what have you. That's the game, okay? But keep me out of it, alright?" "Keep me out of it." That's rich coming from a guy who investigated a private citizen after that private citizen had the temerity to ask then-candidate Obama a question that created a political problem for The Teleprompter-less One. And isn't it interesting how Martin has all this time on his hands to articulate a case against what he sees as a cynical game of racial gotcha when it's him in the cross-hairs, but as a POLITICAL reporter he's apparently too busy to put the same effort into exposing and deconstructing this game when it's played by others... against conservatives. I guess that when Obama's supporters and the MSM and Politico itself engages in racial gotcha to stifle debate, Martin doesn't see that as worthy of a story, something that should be exposed for what it is. Moreover, Martin's obviously not so principled against this tactic that he isn't willing to appear on MSNBC, the very network that patented and never stops engaging in this tactic. But when he thinks it's happening to him, you can expect a phone call! If Martin doesn't want to write about how Politico's pals at MSNBC and Media Matters (click those links for the full story) have made a cottage industry out of racial gotchas, you'd think that his principled opposition to such things would at least put a stop to it in the predominantly Caucasian Politico newsroom. You'd think that before Martin called up NewsBusters, he'd take a moment to... Clean. Up. His. Own. Backyard. Martin's got all kinds of time to dig up 15 year-old nothingburgers about Herman Cain and then participate in and encourage a feeding frenzy around them that even left-wing media watchdogs said went too far. He's got all kinds of time to defend himself from rules written by his own occupation and publication. But where's the deconstruction of all this "political point scoring" when Politico engages in it, when the left and their allies in the MSM relentlessly engage in it? There isn't any; in fact, it's just the opposite. Politico amplifies and makes news and aids and abets this racial demagoguery as much as anyone. Jonathan Martin made some pretty persuasive arguments for why it's okay for him to use the word "cracker," but it appears as though he's saving that defense only for himself. He's too busy doing the real reporter-ing needed to investigate private citizens and take down GOP candidates. Living by the sword is one thing. Dying by the sword is another. But whining about the sword is simply pathetic.

Beaumaris Yacht Club was the venue for the 2014 Victorian State Championship where 26 Pacers and 5 Pacer Pursuits enjoyed a warm but varied range of wind conditions from the Saturday to the Monday of the March long weekend.
Results from the 2013-14 National Championships are available in PDF format.

The 2013 Victorian Championship was an extraordinary event for many reasons. Parkdale Yacht Club proved to be family friendly, extremely well organised and a class act. The weather was hot, the wind fickle and somehow Parkdale managed to conduct all 6 scheduled races which were fair to all competitors without a single protest or gripe. Given the forecast many of us were concerned that we would not even get 4 races in to make a series.

AP Sports Writer
STANFORD, Calif. (AP) -- Chiney Ogwumike scored a career-high 36 points, Mikaela Ruef grabbed a career-best 14 rebounds, and No. 3 Stanford pulled Hall of Fame coach Tara VanDerveer closer to the 900-win club with a 86-51 victory over Cal Poly on Friday night.
Amber Orrange added six points and four assists and Ogwumike also had 11 rebounds and three assists as the Cardinal bounced back from a 76-57 loss at top-ranked and defending champion Connecticut on Monday to win their home opener at Maples Pavilion.
VanDerveer, in her 28th season at Stanford and 35th coaching overall, moved within four victories of becoming the fifth women's basketball coach to reach 900 wins.
The Cardinal (2-1) overcame a slow start to shoot 66.7 percent in the first half -- 18 for 27 -- and 57.1 percent for the game.

So I was wondering if someone were to get out the Vizkopa Guildmage , Exquisite Blood and extort it with something, is there any way to stop it?
Only Skullcrack .
yeah that would do it.
then you do the life drain combo again, when they dont have skullcrack next turn. exquisite blood becomes 4$ card after the orzhov guildmage is printed. xD
infinite life gain, infinite damge. You can be THAT guy in standard. Pumped I traded for a foil Exquisite Blood recently.
i bought them when I thought it was cool to gain life from creatures attacking... :[But my playset of 4$ cards for .50ct each was pretty nifty. On another note, i miss Sanguine Bond , but like that orzhov guildmage is an activatable one.

Ottawa: Need rec for dinner
- c
- chestnutnd Jan 11, 2009 12:55 PM
Los Angeles Hound will be in Ottawa for our nephews wedding and will be going out to dinner with several adults on Friday. I'm looking for any type of cuisine, with quality food being the first criteria. Anything from top notch wood burning pizza to moderately high end french or "locovore" cooking would be great. It's all about the quality of what is on the plate. Thanks in advance for your opinions.
Dress warm! It's going to be very, very cold during the next few days.
The first restaurant in Ottawa to try is Beckta (really high end). Also in the downtown core, in an area called the Byward market is Navarra (Basque). It's very new and has received some rave reviews but I haven't been personally. Also in this area are Domus, Murray Street and Sweetgrass. This latter is my favourite - an aboriginal bistro.
If you have a car, I reccomend the Wellington Gastropub, west of the downtown core or Les Fougeres, across the river in Quebec in Chelsea.
Good websites to research restos are Capital Dining (restaurant critic from the Ottawa Citizen), Omnivores Ottawa (blog by Ottawa Citizen food writer) and Ottawa Foodies.
re: ceebee1
Agree with your recommendations ceebee1.
Beckta is very good and the Wellington Gastropub was a recommendation to me from owner Stephen Beckta.
On a visit last year Murray Street was recommended to me by my server at Stella and the bartender at Murray Street suggested I try Navarra.
All good as is nearby Domus if we are talking about Murray Street locations.
There's some fine Italian and Chinese cooking on Somerset. Also, Le Cordon Blue has a dining room that is a major bargain and v. good. Oh and seriously, you're gonna need some heavy duty outer wear. It's not joke Ott is majorly cold in the winer.
re: Splendid Wine Snob
Without a shadow of a doubt..."Les Fougeres in Chelsea" ...a short drive from downtown...
Wear your woolies!! Ottawa in the Winter is the pits!!
Try Farbs,
opened back in November. Locavore joint.
i was there on opening night for dinner it was very tasty.
I would also consider the new Black Cat Bistro. They've got an interesting menu and it's relatively affordable. Everything we had was delicious!
I second all of the above, esp. the Black Cat - one of my favourites. A'Roma, across the street from Beckta on Nepean, does creative and yummy tapas. I've also heard very good things about the Fraser Cafe on Beechwood Ave. - i.e. a very small place with an excellent and perfectly executed menu - though I've not been myself.
Cafe 104 in the Glebe is a nice little wine bar for a snack and a tipple in the afternoon.
re: HelloClarice
Thanks for the tip: we will be coming from Montreal next week and after reading this thread, we made reservations at L'Atelier, and we'll probably try Navarra and another place for luncheons. I'll come back to hand in my review LOL
Many thanks to my Northern friends. I knew I could rely on such prompt and gracious replies. I'll forward the boards suggestions to my sister and look forward to what sounds like a cold weekend. I don't want to rub this in, but it is 69F ( About 20C ) outside at 9PM. On the other hand, you have that crisp clean air and wonderful green foliage (in the summer) that we can only dream about. Thanks again.

Life imitates art, literally: Classic paintings, statues and murals take on a new dimension as real people dress and pose to recreate original masterpieces—a trick popularized by vaudeville artiste Lolita Perine at the first festival in 1932. A professional orchestra, a narrator, intricate sets and theatrical lighting help bring the works to life at the Festival of Arts in Laguna Beach (650 Laguna Canyon Rd). This year's theme, "The Art Detective," unravels riddles of crime, passion and discovery.

Greenhill & Co. (GHL:US), the advisory firm that's expanding in Brazil and Australia, said third-quarter profit fell 79 percent, missing analysts' estimates, as revenue from advising clients plummeted.
Net income slid to $1.8 million, or 6 cents a share, from $8.59 million, or 28 cents, a year earlier, the New York-based firm said today in a statement. The average estimate (GHL:US) of eight analysts surveyed by Bloomberg was for earnings of 12 cents.
Chief Executive Officer Scott Bok, 54, said this month that an "anemic economic recovery" and regulations in industries including financial services have tempered merger-and-acquisition activity. While global deal volume rose in the third quarter, it was supported by a few so-called mega deals of more than $100 billion, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Takeovers below $5 billion fell, the data show.
"Consistent with the view we have expressed all year, 2013 is turning out to be another relatively quiet one in terms of global transaction activity," Bok said today in the statement.
Advisory revenue dropped 35 percent to $47 million from a year earlier even as those fees climbed 11 percent to $211.5 million in the first nine months of the year from the same period in 2012.
Greenhill rose 1.7 percent to $47.88 at 4 p.m. in New York. The shares have dropped 7.9 percent this year, compared with the 30 percent jump in the Russell 2000 Index of small companies.

Man sentenced for beer run with baby with drunk driver behind wheel
RELATED: See more crime news from the Fredericksburg region
MORE: Read more Stafford County news
A man who took an 8-month-old baby on a beer run with a drunk driver was convicted of a felony Thursday in Stafford Circuit Court.
Daniel C. Wildey, 20, of Stafford pleaded guilty to child neglect. He was sentenced to three years with all but time served suspended.
Prosecutor Tara Mooney said Wildey had already spent about five months in jail.
According to the evidence, Deputy Dominic Torrice was in the 600 block of Cambridge Street (U.S. 1) Nov. 30 when he saw a vehicle make an improper U–turn and head north.
Torrice stopped the car near Drew Middle School and found three adult males and an 8-month-old child inside it. The adults were intoxicated, Mooney said.
Wildey, a passenger in the car, drew attention to himself when the deputy saw him trying to hide two large beer cans. He was later charged after police learned he was supposed to be taking care of his fiancé's child while she was at work. The child was not harmed.
The driver was charged with and later convicted of driving while intoxicated. The third man was not charged.

text: US pension insurer runs record $34B deficit Share This: AP 11/16/2012 9:30:33 PM (AP) US pension insurer runs record $34B deficitWASHINGTONThe federal agency that insures pensions for more than 40 million Americans last year ran the widest deficit in its 38-year history.The Pension Benefit Guaranty Corp. says its deficit grew to $34 billion for the budget year that ended Sept. 30. That compares with a $26 billion shortfall in the previous year.Pension obligations grew by $12 billion to $119 billion last year. Assets used to cover those obligations increased by only $4 billion to $85 billion.The agency has now run deficits for 10 straight years. The gap has grown wider in recent years because the weak economy has triggered more corporate bankruptcies and failed pension plans.If the trend continues, the agency could struggle to pay benefits without an infusion of taxpayer funds.

TAMPA, Fla. – In 2013, a preliminary record number of 270 wild manatee deaths have been associated with an algae bloom known as red tide in Southwest Florida waters. Through extensive response efforts of The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission and its partners, 16 manatees overcome by the toxin were able to be rescued, clinging to life. Each was transported to the David A. Straz, Jr. Manatee Hospital at Tampa's Lowry Park Zoo for critical care,where all but one survived. The 15 red tide survivors will soon be returned to Florida waters, starting with two on June 13.
Among the first to go home will be "Cida," a 605-pound female who arrived March 22 from Placida Harbor. Cida will be the 176th manatee released after rehabilitation at the Zoo from a total of 320 treated, with 12 current patients. A second manatee known as "Gibb," a 1,058-pound male who received urgent care at the Zoo upon arrival on October 26, 2012 from Placida Harbor, will be released by staff at Sea World Orlando where he has been housed since March 6 to ensure the Zoo's manatee hospital facility had space to accommodate critical care patients.
The manatee hospital at the Zoo is the only critical care facility to treat manatees sick from red tide during this bloom. Of the 15 red tide survivors, 10 of those animals are currently housed onsite at the Zoo. Three others were previously transferred to Ellie Schiller Homosassa Springs Wildlife State Park and two to Sea World Orlando, where they will reside until release.
The Zoo has now taken in 320 manatees for critical care and rehabilitation since 1991 for a variety of severe illnesses and catastrophic injuries including boat strikes, cold stress, orphans, entanglement and red tide exposure. In 2012, Tampa's Lowry Park Zoo was honored with a "Significant Achievement in North American Conservation Award" for its work with manatees, presented by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA).

I love delivering good news. Last week, I had the honor of recapping the Administration's civil rights accomplishments to the National Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce's annual meeting in Las Vegas.
The chamber's annual meeting was sold out. I stopped in to talk to them about what a great week we had just had. It had started with President Obama signing the Executive Order that makes clear that Federal employees and Federal contractors can come to work each and every day without fear of discrimination based on their sexual orientation or gender identity.
The week ended with the release of OPM's update of the Title V discrimination regulations. These new rules make it crystal clear that discrimination on the basis of gender identity is a form of sex discrimination and is against the law.
I think about how far we've come. "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" has been repealed. We ended the legal defense of the Defense of Marriage Act. The Supreme Court ruled in United States vs. Windsor that the Federal government must recognize the legal marriages of same-sex couples. The President signed historic hate crimes legislation into law. The Affordable Care Act has expanded access to health coverage, and in the process we addressed LGBT health care disparities.
But this conversation is about more than policy fixes and court decisions and legislation. What we are witnessing is a sea change in the way the United States of America treats lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender Americans.
This is personal. This year we celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the Civil Rights Act of 1965. What we have done under this President is a defining civil rights accomplishment of this generation.
As director of OPM, I am so proud of the work that our employees do every day to make sure that our LGBT brothers and sisters are not denied access to health, retirement or life insurance benefits or the Family and Medical Leave Act simply because of who they are and who they love.
I know we have more work to do. As the President said in his proclamation declaring June LGBT Pride Month: "We celebrate victories that have affirmed freedom and fairness, and we recommit ourselves to completing the work that remains."
But we sure have made a great start!
We all think we're old hands when it comes to sitting in downtown D.C. traffic while a visiting dignitary or presidential motorcade needs to pass.
Take it from me. You haven't seen anything yet.
Dozens of motorcades will be going through the Federal city on Tuesday and Wednesday as the President hosts the United States-Africa Leaders Summit. This gathering is expected to be the largest event any U.S. President has ever held with the heads of state and government leaders from Africa.
Despite the closed streets, difficulty parking and traffic, the Federal government will remain open for business. I urge you to work with your supervisors and managers to come up with a plan that lets you get the job done with the least amount of hassle.
The good news is that we are prepared. Just like when a harsh winter storm, summer derecho or any other natural disaster hits, OPM has thought through how best to keep the government operating while keeping our Federal workforce family safe.
And one of our strongest tools is telework. Federal employees are teleworking at an all-time high. In the D.C. area, 70 percent of employees are telework eligible.
So I urge you to think about how best to handle this upcoming traffic situation. Whether you drive to work or take public transportation, you should allow extra time if you are coming into the District. You should also consider taking advantage of such flexibilities as Alternative Work Schedule, taking leave or, as I said, teleworking.
One thing I am sure of: Our world class Federal workforce will – as you always do – find a way to make sure we continue to provide excellent service to the American people.

I want to share some good news. OPM has been recognized by the Small Business Administration with a rating of "A+" on its Small Business Scorecard for its success in contracting with small businesses. This is the first year OPM has received an "A+" score.
OPM's success is due in no small part to the hard work and dedication of the team in our Office of Small & Disadvantaged Business Utilization (OSDBU).
Nurturing small business growth has been a major priority for President Obama, and I share the President's view that small business is "the lifeblood of our economy." In his time in office, the President has signed 18 tax breaks to bolster business growth and 166,000 small businesses have gotten much-needed loans through community banks, state-run loan programs and the SBA.
OSDBU was created in March 2011 as part of the Small Business Act to ensure that small and disadvantaged businesses have the maximum opportunity to participate in the agency's contracting process. The primary responsibility of OSDBU is to make sure that small businesses are treated fairly and have an opportunity to compete for agency contracts and subcontracts.
In the past, that was not always the case. Up until 2012, OPM had made progress, but fell short of its small-business contracting goals. In 2013, OPM implemented a new, comprehensive small business reform strategy with one critical goal in mind: to increase small business competition and expand the use of small businesses on direct contract awards.
The strategy worked. The key was better accountability. We established clear lines of accountability from senior leadership to the contracting specialists. We defined a strategic and comprehensive strategy. That included taking an aggressive approach to redefining contract requirements to ensure small business could fairly participate. We established "smart contracts," directed towards small businesses. We also provided OPM's contracting staff with extensive training in small business and data quality.
OSDBU focused its outreach on organizing conferences, fairs and meetings to help small businesses understand purchasing requirements. It counseled small businesses on what OPM needed from its contractors. OSDBU also met with interested small business owners to discuss various ways to market their services, and how to respond to a "request for proposal and request for information."
OSDBU has repeatedly stressed the importance of tying performance measures for contracting officers to their success in creating opportunities for small business owners. Most importantly, people were held accountable for meeting OPM's goals for doing business with small and disadvantaged businesses.
I am very proud of OPM's A+ on the Small Business Scorecard. But I'm even more proud of all of the hard work OPM employees did to make it happen!
Putting yourself in someone else's shoes is a great way to really learn what they do every day, and how we can make their lives better. This week, I joined the President's "Day in the Life" effort. Throughout the summer, senior administrators are traveling the country speaking with -- and learning from -- the people we work for every day.
While in Los Angeles this past week, I had such fun spending time with two extraordinary individuals – Matthew Gonzales, a Federal employee at the U.S. Air Force Space and Missile Systems Center, and Megan Rodriguez, an Air Force veteran who works for the state of California as an employment assistant helping other veterans find jobs. Both are young Latinos driven by a passion for public service.
Matthew entered the Federal government as a Pathways intern, a program that brings the best young talent into government and sets them on the path to a Federal career. Matthew is now a civilian program manager at the space and missile center. He also co-led the first chapter of Young Government Leaders in Los Angeles.
Matthew shared something that really made an impression on me. At his job, there is always a lot going on and he is experiencing and doing many things for the first time. But, he said, with pride, while he is not always expected to know everything right away, he is always expected to learn. Matthew knows he has the support and tools that he needs to keep growing, and that is part of the reason why he believes the Federal government is a great place to start his career. That spirit of service is exactly what our nation needs. And I know that Matthew is one of hundreds of thousands of Federal employees with that same enthusiasm.
Megan has a passion for helping fellow veterans find jobs. While attending Mount St. Mary's College, she founded its Veterans Outreach Association and she has continued that work now that she has graduated. We discussed our shared passion for helping women veterans get Federal jobs, especially STEM jobs. She would be a great fit in the Federal government.
In Matthew and Megan, I saw so many positive qualities: passion, dedication, an overwhelming desire to help people, a call to service, and a truly hopeful vision of the future. These young professionals remind me what it was like to once walk in shoes similar to theirs. I know there are obstacles they face each day, but their commitment to public service makes me confident we will continue to have a diverse, talented, caring, and devoted Federal workforce. Their insights helped me understand firsthand what young Latinos are thinking and what we need to do to attract them to Federal service.
I was glad to be able to tell them that we are already working hard to increase the number of Federal employees from underrepresented communities and to support and develop them in their careers. They share my commitment that we have a workforce that truly represents the bright mosaic of the American family.
So really, we learned a lot from each other. If we take the time to stop, listen, and just for a moment, put ourselves in another's shoes, we'll keep learning. And that makes all the difference.
This Saturday, July 26, marks the 24th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act, a day for us to celebrate the tremendous contributions of people with disabilities to our country. From classrooms in Sacramento to buses in Denver to sidewalks here in the District of Columbia, this landmark legislation makes sure that Americans with disabilities are guaranteed full access and the same opportunities promised to all Americans.
On July 26, 2010, President Obama issued Executive Order 13548, Increasing Federal Employment of Individuals with Disabilities, to mark the historic 20th anniversary of the signing of the ADA. His order says that the Federal government, as the nation's largest employer, must become a model for the employment of individuals with disabilities.
We have made great progress toward fulfilling the President's vision. There are more people with disabilities in Federal service than at any time in the past 33 years. The talents, the experiences and the expertise of employees with disabilities are an indispensable part of the Federal workforce. At all levels and in every profession, the contributions of people with disabilities enrich the Federal government. Our nation is absolutely stronger because of their dedication and service.
Yet our work is not done. We must do more to recruit people with targeted disabilities. We must continue our efforts to hire and retain employees with disabilities at all levels of government -- from resume through retirement -- so that we have the strongest workforce possible.
To support Federal employees in this effort, OPM, in consultation with partner agencies, has launched an online course entitled, "A Roadmap to Success: Hiring, Retaining and Including People with Disabilities." The course, which will be available to agencies at no cost on HR University, provides basic information and resources to help employees and managers hire, retain and advance Federal workers with disabilities. In accordance with the Executive Order, this training will be required for human resources personnel and hiring managers.
Today, let all of us recommit to building an inclusive, vibrant and powerful workforce that reflects the bright mosaic of the American people we serve.

The U.S. Drought Monitor has reclassified the Dallas-Fort Worth area as being not in drought for the first time since July, making it the first major metropolitan area in Texas to emerge from the most severe one-year drought in state history.
While residents in those areas will likely no longer have any water restrictions, meteorologists and climatologists warn the situation remains precarious.
More than half the state in the weekly Drought Monitor map posted online Thursday remains in severe or exceptional stages of drought, and a drier-than-normal spring or hotter-than-usual summer could quickly tip wetter areas back into drought.
