"Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." Matthew 6:34
There are two days that most people worry about: Yesterday and Tomorrow. Jesus tells us that those are the two day we should actually worry the least about. We worry about yesterday – the mistakes we've made and what we wish we could do over. The truth is that there is nothing we can do to change our yesterdays. So our worrying is wasted. We also worry about tomorrow – the problems it may bring and the challenges we may face. Again we cannot control our tomorrows. Tomorrow is always a day away and out of our grasp. So again our worrying is wasted.
Jesus doesn't want us wasting our time worrying about anything. Jesus wants us to be free to live our lives in the present moment. With each new day we make decisions about our life. With each new day we can set our course, set off in any direction or alter our course, if need be. We most likely will make our share of mistakes. And we will still have concerns. Each new day brings all the concerns we can handle. Our concerns become unbearable when we add our concern for yesterday and tomorrow onto today.
Jesus calls us to live one day at a time. He knew that much of our worry is out of our control. Jesus wants us to understand that God gives us today. And as we live our lives seeking Him, we are in a safe place. Jesus promises that our heavenly Father will provide us with everything we need not everything we might want.
When I'm tempted to worry about any of life's concerns, I find that it helps to remind myself of the many times I've given in to worry and how things never came to pass as I had feared – which is most of the time.
So today make it one of your promises to live just one day at a time. And when you find yourself tempted to worry remind yourself of Jesus' words in Matthew 6:32-33: "Your heavenly Father knows all your needs, and He will give you all you need from day to day if you live for Him and make the Kingdom of God your primary concern."
Let us pray: There are times Lord that I find myself worrying about my yesterdays or tomorrows and missing the joy of the moment. Lord I want to live just one day at a time. I want to seek to become all You are calling me to become today. I want to live a full and joy filled life today. I know I can't do this on my own – I must rely on You – on Your Son Jesus to walk with me in the power of Your Mighty Holy Spirit. So Lord I free myself of my worries by trusting in the Name that is above every Name – Jesus. Amen.

I was happy to see this little reminder from the Dalai Lama this morning as different paths and judgment are topics that come up in both my professional and personal life pretty often.
Speaking from experience, when someone is on a completely different path from us in life, we sometimes judge them for not doing things our way. Why? Well, because that means we may have to question ourselves, "well wait, is my way right?"
Hopefully the answer to your own inquiry of this question is, "Absolutely, this is right … for me." And when it is, remember, you don't have to add further validation to "your way" by discounting the alternative paths those around us are taking (Yes, I have done this before – that ugly judgement thing – and it doesn't make you feel very good).
I try to do this everyday, but today, I am going to seriously practice not judging (even the little unnecessary judgments of a random person you see at Target/crossing the street/of the person in the car next to you) and see what happens. Just like I knew my workout would make feel good yesterday, I have a feeling this will feel pretty good too.
Who knows, maybe no coffee, no judgement and a daily shot of wheatgrass is the path to enlightenment. Let's see.

Moebius Adventures provides us with our Small Press Week roundup! Thanks to them, and to everyone who participated!
I know several of us would like to do another Small Press Week soon, say, possibly on a week where the RPG Bloggers Network doesn't catch fire and nearly implode? Seriously, though, I think we can do much better next time for participation, and I know I'll be looking to cover some new ground as well. I really hope everyone enjoyed what we had, and hopefully we can keep it up. After all, we don't need a Small Press Week to write about small press...

Somebody may even love it because of them, but for me, talent changes are the worst thing they ever did to Wow. Period. Regarding rest, in Cata some changes, like to hunter, were to best possible, for the first time I have enjoyed to level my hunter not just for sake of having all classes maxed out. To druid changes were most hated in general would say.
But changes to talen tree are big no-no. The single most fun thing in any game is to get some candy after every new level. Not after 15, for some this could mean few months of gameplay at higher levels. Pure mess.

MUHLENBERG COUNTY, Ky. (8/11/14) — First Kentucky Bank recently donated eight of its 'retired' computer CPUs and accessories to the ARK Christian Academy in Greenville.
"From time to time when we upgrade our computer systems, it leaves us with a surplus of gently-used equipment," said Dean Rowe, Pennyrile Region Executive for First Kentucky Bank. "We're so pleased that these computers will live on to assist in the education of the kids at the ARK Christian Academy. What's remarkable is that we didn't have any monitors to go along with our units, but out-of-the-blue the school received a corresponding donation of monitors from another benefactor. It's amazing to see the hand of God at work in our community."

Comments about Sorel Flurry TP (Boys' Toddler-Youth):
Well the boots are for my grandson who is 7.
I chose the boots since they had an inner liner which would
keep his feet warmer. The liner is made of a thick, warm
material which seems to keep his feet very warm and insulated.
The liner fits snug in the boot so it
seemed easier to put his foot in the liner and then put your
foot in the boot. The boot is pretty high up which is great
if you get crazy amounts of snow. The tread seems to be
good for real icy spots. We just got them so
no snow storms here yet. THANK GOODNESS.
The price was very reasonable as they seem very durable.

For engineers interested in having impact through the market, MIT has many resources.
MIT students can take any other MIT course--including management courses in Course 15 (Sloan School of Management). You may learn about anything from finance to patent law to organizational management. Taking Sloan courses is also a great way to meet business partners to enter MIT's $100K Entrepreneurship Competition. It is also a great way to fulfill a minor requirement.

Changing technologies
Defense contractors seek a skilled, engaged & diverse workforce
"The doors have been blown wide open! It's refreshing to see more young women excited about technical careers." � Kinda Eastwood, Pratt & Whitney
"I focus on long-term R&D, emerging technologies that are three, five and even ten years out." � Cantrell Simon, Textron Marine & Land Systems
By Dan Margherita
Contributing Editor
In a rapidly changing global environment, defense contractors are looking for a wide range of skills, from high tech to business savvy, to support their complex offerings. David Barrios, senior manager of recruiting at the Boeing Company (Chicago, IL), says, "Boeing products and services require an amazing array of technical, engineering and scientific skills. You name it and we have it here, from statistician to rocket scientist!
"We seek out and attract a skilled, motivated, diverse and engaged workforce to ensure we have a pipeline of talent and to meet our ongoing business requirements today and tomorrow. We also hire for critical skills to support our business in the near term."
Maria Schwartz, a recruiter for Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (JHUAPL, Laurel, MD), adds that "We work hard to ensure that we have the right programs and processes in place to attract and hire the best and the brightest. Although much of our time is spent finding engineers, scientists and analysts to work on current programs, we also strive to hire and develop a diverse knowledge base which will be critical for future programs."
At Raytheon Company (Waltham, MA), John Malanowski, HR VP, says, "We need talent that will drive new ideas and innovative solutions for our customers. The more diverse and inclusive our environment, the more creative and productive we continue to be."
Customer focus is also critical at Pratt & Whitney (East Hartford, CT), where Amy Liedke, HR operations manager, notes that "Diversity and inclusion are critical to our growth and prosperity and help to meet the needs of our global customer base."
Tolulope Fayanjuola: "revolutionary" software at GDEB
At General Dynamics Electric Boat (GDEB, Groton, CT), software engineer Tolu Fayanjuola is working on a project for electric control surface actuation, a new method that could revolutionize the way nuclear subs move.
"We're replacing the external hydraulic system with an electric actuator system," Fayanjuola explains. She is currently part of the team that's developing software to control the electric actuators that will move the sub's bow planes. The actuators are the interface between the controls inside the ship and the electric motors outside the ship that allow it to submerge and surface.
Current hydraulic systems are noisy, bulky and risk environmental contamination if their oil leaks. Using an electrical actuation system could eliminate all these concerns, Fayanjuola notes. GDEB predicts that the modifications could be ready for ships that the shipyard will begin constructing in 2014 to join the U.S. Navy fleet starting in 2019.
Fayanjuola has been at GDEB almost three years. She began her tech career as an intern for the city of Providence, RI. She was hired by the city's inspections and standards department to develop software, but "ended up working on day-to-day issues like fixing someone's printer. At Electric Boat it's a whole different atmosphere. The work is challenging, and I enjoy that."
Fayanjuola grew up in Providence, the daughter of parents who stressed education. "My father is a retired math teacher and my mother directs two federally-funded education programs," she says.
She's known since elementary school that she wanted a career in engineering. She earned her BS in CS and engineering from Bucknell University (Lewisburg, PA) in 2005 and expects to begin work on an MS in CS this year.
Her graduating class of fifty CS and engineering students at Bucknell included only four women. Still, Fayanjuola had support on multiple fronts. "The SWE and NSBE chapters were very active at Bucknell, and my associate dean, a woman, was very encouraging."
Fayanjuola is returning that support by participating in organizations that promote diversity at GDEB. She's currently secretary of the GDEB Black Engineering Council.
Moussa Koulbou: senior systems engineer at General Dynamics
Moussa Koulbou's family was driven from its home in Chad, Central Africa, by the civil wars of the 1970s and 80s. He lived in Africa, Asia and Europe before coming to the United States alone in 1996 with $200 in his pocket.
Today Koulbou is senior systems engineer with the national systems division of General Dynamics C4 Systems (Scottsdale, AZ). Koulbou and his team of seven engineers work on the mobile user objective system (MUOS) program for which Koulbou is integration and test lead.
MUOS is a third-generation DoD wireless communication system that will provide simultaneous voice, video and data communication using wideband code division multiple access (WCDMA). It accomplishes these cell-phone-like services with satellites acting as very tall "towers" to let warfighters on the ground communicate directly with each other and their commanders virtually anywhere in the world.
Before he was integration and test lead, Koulbou was air interface lead on the same project. "Just three years out of college and in charge of twenty engineers," he says with pride. "It was a leap of faith for the company but I had a good reception and good mentoring. They took my hand and walked me through everything I needed to know."
Koulbou got his BS in software engineering and CS from the University of Texas at Dallas in 2004 and immediately joined General Dynamics. This spring he completed his MBA from Arizona State University.
His interest in engineering grew from his childhood in Chad. "We couldn't buy any toys or games so we had to salvage whatever we could to make them." He dreamed of being an inventor, "But I knew that if I wanted to pursue engineering I would have to come to the United States."
Koulbou is a member of IEEE, the Project Management Institute (PMI, Newtown Square, PA) and the International Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE, San Diego, CA). He also works with Engineers without Borders (Phoenix, AZ).
He's the tenth of eighteen children and the first and so far the only engineer in the family.
Lynn Brown is a subject matter expert at LogiCore Corp
Lynn Brown, with more than twenty years experience in engineering analysis, recently joined LogiCore Corp (Huntsville, AL) as a logistics analyst supporting Program Executive Office (PEO) Aviation, which is the U.S. Army manager for the Apache helicopter, several other helicopters and unmanned aircraft systems.
LogiCore is a woman-owned business certified by the U.S. Small Business Administration as a small disadvantaged business. It was created in 2002 to provide technical services and solutions to the DoD and the federal government. Brown's team provides logistics program support to the U.S. Army.
"Logistics involves analyses to increase efficiency and effectiveness and reduce lifecycle cost at the same time," Brown explains. "Our role is to determine how to improve existing processes and procedures for a weapons system."
Brown has a 1986 BSEE and a 2007 MS in software engineering from the University of Alabama in her hometown of Huntsville. She continued learning at the Air Force Institute of Technology (AFIT, Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, OH). "They really opened my eyes beyond just the local area. It has enabled me to become a subject matter expert in software engineering, although when I got my BS back in '86 there was no software engineering!"
Before joining LogiCore, Brown worked as a contractor. She met Miranda Bouldin, president and CEO of LogiCore, at a Joint Integrated Air & Missile Defense (JIAMD) conference and was impressed with the company and its commitment to community involvement. She joined LogiCore last year.
Among other professional and community-oriented activities, Brown is a member of Executive Women International (EWI, Salt Lake City, UT), which brings together key people to promote member firms, enhance personal and professional development and encourage community involvement.
Robert Verastiqui: aerospace culture at Rockwell Collins
Born into a military family on an Air Force base in Mississippi, Robert Verastiqui saw much of Europe and Asia before returning to the U.S. at the age of fourteen. This year he's celebrating ten years with Rockwell Collins (Cedar Rapids, IA), where he's senior ME for the Navy E-6B program, working at the company's Richardson, TX facility.
The E-6B aircraft is used to conduct "take charge and move out" (TACAMO) and U.S. Strategic Command airborne command post missions, providing reliable and survivable communications between the U.S. president, the secretary of defense, the U.S. strategic National Command Authority (NCA) and strategic and non-strategic forces during times of crisis.
"Our team oversees modification and implementation of systems to the E-6B aircraft from creation through installation," explains Verastiqui. "We conduct structural analyses and thermal analyses as well as environmental testing. We also visit the various military installations where the planes are housed."
Verastiqui was always interested in math and science; a high school physics teacher turned him on to engineering. "He told us that science could explain why things happened the way they did," he remembers.
He started college in aerospace engineering but switched to ME. He got his BSME from the University of Texas in 1996 and later earned a 2007 MSME from Southern Methodist University (Dallas, TX).
He started as a drilling engineer for Shell Oil Co, but missed the involvement with military aircraft. Rockwell Collins offered a return to aerospace culture on the communications side. "When I came here in 2000, there were only about 300 employees at our Richardson facility. Today there are almost a thousand people here and diversity has really picked up."
Verastiqui is a member of Rockwell Collins' Latino Employee Network and also chapter president of the Rockwell Collins Leadership Association.
At Boeing, Jessie Juarez tracks risks and mitigates them
Jessie Juarez is a systems engineer at the Boeing Company. Working in Arlington, VA, she supports Boeing's chief engineers on the company's SBInet.
SBInet is a critical component of the Secure Border Initiative, a comprehensive plan by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to gain operational control of the U.S. border. It is designed to provide frontline personnel advantages in securing the nation's land borders through effective integration of current and next-gen technology, infrastructure, staffing and response platforms.
"We identify risks and mitigate them," Juarez explains. "My job is to track issues, write them up and create a plan to bring them to closure."
Juarez is Chinese-American, born in Binghamton, NY. Her father is an EE; "We were always tinkering with stuff and I asked him a lot of questions," she remembers.
Juarez got her BSEE from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (Troy, NY) in 1999. In 2006 she completed an MS in systems engineering from Virginia Polytechnic Institute.
"I had been doing software and hardware engineering, but after 9/11 I decided that I wanted to do something that would make a difference in people's lives," Juarez says.
"Boeing was doing exciting missile defense work in 2002 and they had the kinds of jobs I wanted."
On the SBInet team, Juarez finds that her educational background is helping to broaden her perspective. "Supporting Boeing's software engineering team puts me on a critical path to experience new areas of the business," she notes.
Juarez says she has embraced her diversity in her personal life and tried to share her culture with others. "It's never been a hindrance to me, but I'm not sure I would have noticed if it helped me," she says.
She belongs to several company affinity groups in the Potomac region, including Boeing Women in Leadership (BWIL) and the Boeing Asian-American Professional Association (BAAPA). They promote networking, professional development and social resources.
Senior recruiting manager David Barrios notes that Boeing "actively encourages people to cultivate their diversity. We have seven company-wide affinity groups that collectively have more than ninety local chapters."
Haley Kim looks for clean-cut answers at General Atomics Aeronautical Systems
"I enjoy getting clean-cut answers," says Haley Kim, ME, of General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, Inc (GA-ASI, Poway, CA). That, she says, is why she majored in ME in college. Haley works in GA-ASI's propulsion group of about twenty engineers and designers.
Their project is the Sky Warrior UAS, a multi-mission unmanned aircraft system for U.S. Army ops. It provides long-endurance intelligence surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) and tactical strike capability.
"The propulsion group handles issues related to the engine, fuel and cooling systems on planes," explains Kim. "We support manufacturing, overseas field deployments and ground and flight testing. Sky Warrior is pretty far along in production, so our role right now is mostly troubleshooting and handling unforeseen issues."
Kim calls herself an "Air Force brat." She is Polynesian, born on Guam, but went to school in California where she earned her BSME from the University of California (San Diego, CA) in 2005 and her MSME from Stanford University (Palo Alto, CA) in 2007.
"I started out in environmental studies but found it too opened-ended," Kim recalls. "I like ME for its cleancut answers: right or wrong."
There were very few women in her classes: only about ten percent. "I learned that men in groups work differently from women, and knowing that has helped me here at GA-ASI."
After graduation Kim spent a year at MWH Global, Inc (Broomfield, CO) as an engineering intern before moving to GA-ASI in 2005. "GA-ASI has a very strong military presence, and since I grew up in the Air Force I am very comfortable with that," she says.
Outside work Kim is involved in several professional and community groups. She's an industry advisor to Botball, an all-girls robotics team.
Cantrell Simon focuses on long-term R&D at Textron Marine & Land Systems
Cantrell Simon has been director of advanced special projects at Textron Marine & Land Systems (Slidell, LA) since 2008. "I focus on long-term R&D projects to fill the company's pipeline with new products; emerging technologies that are three, five and even ten years out."
Simon managed the model test program for the T-Craft, a science and technology project of the Office of Naval Research. He was responsible for an integrated product team to design, build and test scale models of a craft capable of transforming from catamaran to surface-effect ship to fully amphibious 240-plus-foot hovercraft.
"It has implications not only for defense but also for humanitarian relief efforts," Simon says. "If this ship had been available at the time of the Haiti earthquake, we could have delivered hundreds of tons of food and medicine exactly where it was needed, bypassing the unusable ports and the overcrowded airport." Textron plans to have a prototype ready soon and hopes to deliver a prototype demonstrator in 2014.
Simon was born and raised in New Orleans, LA. "My parents were practically illiterate," he recalls. "I had to read them the mail, pay the bills and stuff like that." He's the youngest of nine children and the only one to go to college.
For a while he considered a biomedical career, but switched to EE in college. He received his BSEE from Carnegie Mellon University (Pittsburgh, PA) in 1982.
Before Textron, Simon worked for OSR, Inc (Huntington Beach, CA) where he was an engineering consultant, and AAI Corp (Choctaw, MS), where he spent eight years as director of engineering before Textron acquired the company in 2007.
Amy Vaduthalakuzhy: "limitless opportunities" at Johns Hopkins APL
Amy Vaduthalakuzhy is new to the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (JHUAPL), where she's an associate staff member in the wireless communications technology group of the applied information sciences department (AISD).
APL is a not-for-profit division of JHU. Organized just a few months after the attack on Pearl Harbor, the lab solves complex research, engineering and analytical problems that present critical challenges to the U.S. It's working on more than 600 programs related to homeland security, national defense and space science.
Vaduthalakuzhy's wireless communications group includes some fifty engineers concentrating on a variety of communications issues facing the U.S. Navy. "We do so many different things," she says with enthusiasm. "Most of my work involves problem solving, creating simulations, analyzing results and drawing conclusions. A lot of what I do is lab work, including creating prototypes and demos."
She was born in India; her family came to Florida when she was in high school. She completed her BSEE from Georgia Tech in 2007, then went to the University of St. Andrews (St. Andrews, Scotland) on a fellowship for her 2008 MS in optoelectronics.
Vaduthalakuzhy is a member of the APL Young Professionals Network, one of many affinity groups and clubs at APL.
Christine Pollock, JHU/APL's employment manager, notes that the lab is an active participant in national and regional conferences and career fairs sponsored by SWE, NSBE and SHPE.
Alan Bermudez develops algorithms at Raytheon Company
Alan Bermudez is a senior physics engineer at Raytheon Company, working in the Dallas, TX office. "My job is to develop algorithms based on mathematical and physical models and apply creative solutions to complex problems," Bermudez explains. "We want to increase performance of our products and implement new features."
Bermudez has been with Raytheon for seven years. He holds top secret security clearances and is necessarily cautious when discussing his work. "Most of what I do is proprietary to Raytheon but I work on all types of defense applications," is about as far as he will go.
He grew up and went to school in McAllen, TX. "I was always a math and science person," he recalls. "In junior high I was bussed up to the high school to take advanced math courses and in high school I took college-level courses at the university."
He got his BSEE from the University of Texas-Pan American in 2003. In 2006 he completed an MSEE at Southern Methodist University (SMU, Dallas, TX). He hopes to complete a PhD in EE with a research focus on automatic target recognition and classification at SMU next year. "I'd like to be the CTO someday, and help decide what technologies we should invest in and grow."
Bermudez belongs to several professional associations and employee resource groups inside and outside Raytheon, including the Dallas/Fort Worth chapter of SHPE which he joined back in college, the Hispanic Organization for Leadership Advancement, the Raytheon Asian-Pacific Association, the Raytheon American Indian Network and the Raytheon Women's Network.
"Having all these different resource groups attracted me to Raytheon," Bermudez says. "They provide tremendous networking opportunities."
Kinda Eastwood: sidewall system responsibility at Pratt & Whitney
Kinda Eastwood came to Pratt & Whitney (East Hartford, CT), a United Technologies company, from the U.S. Air Force. She moved from being a customer of the company, as she was in the Air Force, to representing it to the Air Force as program manager for Pratt & Whitney's F-22 aircraft-mounted nozzle sidewall system. The system protects aircraft flight surfaces and fuselage from intense heat generated by Pratt & Whitney's F-119 engine.
"I now have cradle to grave responsibility for the Pratt & Whitney system, from design and manufacturing to field support," she notes with pride. "I'm involved in all the business processes including proposal management and negotiations, quality, production, delivery and field support. I am an advocate for our customers to Pratt & Whitney and also from our company back to the customer," she adds.
She doesn't have any direct reports, "so our team has to have a shared vision as to how our work is to be completed and supported," she says. "It's built on consensus."
Eastwood is from Oregon. She followed in the military service footsteps of her Navy father and Army brother, but she joined the Air Force because "They had more opportunities and better travel locations." The Air Force trained her as an aircraft engine mechanic, working on F-111, F-15 and F-16 jets.
While in the military she went to night school and community colleges, earning her BS in management from Park University (Parkville, MO) in 1996. Two years later she joined Pratt & Whitney after meeting with a company rep at a job fair.
"Up until the mid-1990s I was one of only a few Air Force women in the aircraft maintenance field. Today the doors have been blown wide open! It's refreshing to see more young women excited about technical careers," she says.
Eastwood helps that excitement along at P&W as a leader in the Pratt & Whitney women's council, one of several employee groups within the company.
Today she's still a maintenance officer in the Air Force Reserve. Speaking about her own career path, she says she has "a lot of runway left." She sees her future moving along a business path as well as a technical one. "Engineering isn't my only passion," she admits. "I like the business side of what I'm doing now."
Elizabeth Adams leads tech teams at ITT
"I work on some of the coolest things going, and I get to work with lots of smart people," says Elizabeth Adams, program manager at ITT Advanced Engineering Systems (Herndon, VA). She's the systems integration lab lead, working with the Joint IED Defeat Organization (JIEDDO).
"I don't really consider myself a technical person but I know how to lead technical teams," she says. "I view my job from the customer perspective, managing expectations from the executive to the developer level and seeing to it that our systems are in place to achieve our goals."
JIEDDO supports the Department of Defense, Adams explains. "Our work helps military personnel access seemingly disparate information and data sources to create actionable
intelligence information vital to JIEDDO's mission."
The systems integration lab is a branch within JIEDDO that develops and maintains a variety of systems in support of its mission to attack the network. Adams leads teams of more than 120 people including engineers, scientists, software developers, researchers and analysts. They are responsible for planning, developing and executing strategic, organizational and technology efforts within the systems integration lab and across the Joint IED Defeat Organization.
Adams is from St. Paul, MN. She worked for several years as an IT contractor for clients including Best Buy, Inc (Eden Prairie, MN), Sprint Nextel (Reston, VA) and Fannie Mae Inc (Washington, DC) before joining ITT in 2008. She earned a BS in business management through an adult education program at Bethel University (Minneapolis, MN) in 1999 and a graduate certificate in leadership from Johns Hopkins University (Baltimore, MD) in 2000.
"It's hard not to notice that I'm often the only woman in the room," Adams says, but she doesn't see it as either an advantage or a disadvantage. "The important thing is to show that you can execute and lead a team. Your skill sets have to match the job."
ITT, she reflects, "has a strong sense that diversity is not only important but necessary." Adams is a member of Women in Defense (WID), an affiliate of the National Defense Industrial Association (NDIA), both headquartered in Arlington, VA.

Rap Genius
Fully recharged and inspired by his eye-opening first trip to Mecca, the 2011 uprisings in the Middle East, and the world wide Occupy movements, Brother Ali is prepared to unveil his fourth full-length offering Mourning in America and Dreaming in Color. Created during a self-imposed two-month exile in Seattle and helmed by platinum-selling producer Jake One (50 Cent, T.I., Wiz Khalifa), the album presents a scathing yet honest critique of America and its many flaws while simultaneously presenting a hopeful outlook of its possibilities. Preceded by the release of free music downloads with accompanying music videos such as "Shine On," "Writer's Block," and "Not A Day Goes By," Mourning in America and Dreaming in Color is the pièce de résistance.
In an age of hip-hop where the paradigm of swag over substance reigns supreme, few emcees are willing to use their platform to tackle the hot-button topics and pressing social maladies of our time - but it's apparent that Minneapolis-based hip-hop artist Brother Ali is one of those few. Over the course of 14 tracks with assists from esteemed author/ professor Dr. Cornel West, revered Southern hip-hop icon Bun B, and Def Poetry Jam poet Amir Sulaiman, the album brazenly holds a mirror to the idiosyncrasies of American life while simultaneously painting a vibrant portrait of its wondrous potential. Actualizing hip-hop's full range of motion as a gage for the times, Mourning In America and Dreaming In Color asserts itself as the definitive soundtrack of a disenchanted, disenfranchised, and wildly optimistic citizenry during a landmark period in American history. In a moment of artistic preemptive strike, Brother Ali recognized this prime opportunity to examine and address the underpinnings of the burgeoning stance of mass opposition:
"This is not just a new album, but a new chapter. There's a kind of democratic reawakening in people at this point in time. I was really looking to take these topics and really hit them hard. To try to open ears and hearts and invite people to take some action and feel empowered. To be engaged and take some agency and responsibility for what's going on in the world."
Melding the zeitgeist of classic works such as Ice Cube's critical 1991 album Death Certificate and Marvin Gaye's 1971 sociopolitical opus What's Goin' On with his keen observations on topics such as race, the Occupy movement, and the hypocrisy of war, Brother Ali has crafted a fresh lyrical approach and dynamic new sound - the result is a stunning collection of hard-hitting lyrics and beats.
The state of the union address commences with "Letter To My Countrymen," a spirited appeal to fellow Americans with a tailor made guest vocal from Cornel West. Brother Ali speaks on the institution of poverty on "Only Life I Know" while the quasi-autobiographical "Stop The Press" addresses his albinism, the death of his father, and his remarkable yet challenging journey through hip-hop. "Mourning In America," in part the album's title track, offers a brutally honest look at America's convoluted and hypocritical relationship to murder. Featuring a searing verse from poet Amir Sulaiman, "Gather Round" is a battle cry to the masses to take an ardent interest in the social ills plaguing society. Brother Ali puts underemployment and hyper consumerism in the face of socioeconomic turmoil on blast on "Work Everyday." "Need A Knot," featuring the voice of Bun B, finds Brother Ali skillfully veiling a series of odd jobs in analogies of illegal hustles. "Namesake" is the seldom-told tale of a pre-fame Muhammad Ali – one of America's most dynamic personas whom Brother Ali is also named after. The set ends with the outro "Singing This Song," a track that showcases another one of Brother Ali's passions – speaking engagements. The song features highlights of Ali's riveting public address at a mass demonstration demanding justice for Trayvon Martin.
Mourning in America and Dreaming in Color, in all its sonic and lyrical glory, promises to be both the voice of a burgeoning new critical American consciousness and the beacon of hope for those that hold fast to its ideals and potential.

|United States v. Schwimmer by
|Supreme Court of the United States. It concerned a pacifist applicant for naturalization who in the interview declared not to be willing to "take up arms personally" in defense of the United States. Originally found unable by the District Court for the Northern District of Illinois to take the prescribed oath of allegiance, a decision reversed in appeal, the case was argued before the Supreme Court, which ruled against the applicant, and thus denied her the possibility of becoming a United States citizen. — Excerpted from United States v.

Some stories are good some not so but Haruki Murakami is a brilliant brilliant story teller. He can make mundane stories interesting and day to day incidents exciting. There is good build up without any let down. Amazing read.
Murakami's talents are well suited to the short story format. For the most part his work captures a profound but also gentle dislocation that I find quite comforting. There is, however, real terror lurking behind much of the quirkiness.
These stories are wonderful. Like koans. Between this and [b:Norwegian Wood|11297|Norwegian Wood|Haruki Murakami|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1166468809s/11297.jpg|2956680], Murakami has officially made it onto my list of favorite authors.
Most memorable one is Barn Burning, the one about sleep was also part of Murakami's other short story collection. Actually I could not finish the book, some 5-6 stories were remaining but I had to return the book.
Un paio di racconti mi sono piaciuti ma in generale mi hanno lasciato un po' così.... se pensati come schizzi possono andare. Lo stile è il suo e a me leggere Murakami piace sempre. Dance Dance Dance resta per me il miglior romanzo

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0679750533, Paperback)With the same deadpan mania and genius for dislocation that he brought to his internationally acclaimed novels A Wild Sheep Chase and Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World, Haruki Murakami makes this collection of stories a determined assault on the normal. A man sees his favorite elephant vanish into thin air; a newlywed couple suffers attacks of hunger that drive them to hold up a McDonald's in the middle of the night; and a young woman discovers that she has become irresistible to a little green monster who burrows up through her backyard.
By turns haunting and hilarious, The Elephant Vanishes is further proof of Murakami's ability to cross the border between separate realities -- and to come back bearing treasure.
(retrieved from Amazon Mon, 30 Sep 2013 13:34:44 -0400)
Contains seventeen short fiction stories by Haruki Murakami about people whose lives veer off the path of normalcy.

Anywhere you go in India, one thing you'll see a lot of, in addition to people, is dogs. Some estimates put India's roaming dog population at 35 million, but no one knows for sure. What we do know for certain is that with dogs' high fertility rates, and large amounts of edible waste available for scavenging, India's dog population will only continue to increase failing large-scale intervention. The increasing incidents of human-dog conflict in various parts of the country, resulting in occasional tragic consequences such as human rabies deaths and brutal dog culls, demand an immediate, aggressive response.
Although street dogs play a valuable ecological role as scavengers in societies in which waste management is not adequately developed, an over-abundance of roaming dogs can lead to problems. Their welfare is often poor. Nursing canine mothers in areas with a high human population density may bite passers-by while trying to defend their pups. When dogs challenge each other for dominance of turf, or during mating season, people may get bitten in the crossfire. Dogs that reside near meat shops or slaughterhouses may become aggressive in their efforts to protect their high-value, nutrition-rich food sources. And too many dogs in areas with high vehicular traffic can result in tragic accidents that injure both people and dogs. Finally, the rabies virus, fatal if contracted by humans, is transmitted largely through the bites of infected dogs. The scale of the problem is large, and the time to address it is now. The good news is that street dog populations can be managed in a humane and scientifically proven manner, and rabies can be eradicated.
India's free-roaming dog population can be successfully managed through ABC, or "animal birth control", a process by which dogs are surgically sterilized so they do not reproduce. At the time of surgery, the dogs are vaccinated against rabies. It is against the law to kill dogs in India. The only legal way to address the issues of an over-abundant dog population is through the implementation of ABC. In order to prevent further population growth and stop the spread of rabies, it is necessary to sterilize and vaccinate 70% of the dog population. If the goal is to decrease the population and eradicate rabies, then more than 70% of the dog population must be subject to the intervention. Dog population control will be achieved more quickly if female dogs are the focus of sterilization efforts.
Through rigorous implementation of ABC at a high standard and on a large scale throughout India, we can achieve the goal of decreasing the street dog population in a scientific manner and without cruelty. We can also eradicate rabies. These are our goals at ABC India.
It can be reasonably asked why, if the program has been in place for some time, it has not yet yielded better results. Historically, ABC has generally been taken up in India here and there as a small-scale animal welfare measure in order to prevent dog culls by the authorities, rather than as a serious animal population control and rabies eradication strategy. Although it is crucial when implementing ABC to adhere to the highest animal welfare standards, and although ABC contributes immeasurably to the welfare of dogs by reducing their suffering on a massive scale, to push the program ahead ABC should be viewed principally as dog population control, rather than as animal welfare.
Further, in order for dog sterilization and anti-rabies vaccination to be successful in eradicating rabies, reducing numbers of dogs, and decreasing the incidence of dog bite, it has to be implemented on a large scale and in a systematic and sustained manner. The public also has to be educated about how to avoid conflict with dogs, and what to do to prevent rabies infection should they happen to get bitten. For an assortment of reasons, from plain old politics to lack of resources, these conditions have not yet been adequately met in enough parts of India.

|Coach Shari: Finding Your Inner Hero
Coach Shari: Finding Your Inner Hero
In light of the Penn State scandal, our Coach Shari columnist discusses being mentally prepared for situations that test your integrity. What would you do?
By now, I'm sure everyone has gotten wind of what transpired at Penn State University. You can sense the seething anger in our country. The thought of so many young, vulnerable lives affected by one toxic individual in a position of power is disturbing, to say the least. On top of that, we're consumed with anger at the thought of people being witnesses to this horror and keeping quiet. We can't comprehend this silence, and we imagine that if we were witnesses, we would stand by and protect a child. Faced with a situation like this, what would you really do?
A couple of months ago on a Saturday, I was working out at my gym. By 10:30, almost all the treadmills and elliptical machines were in use. I was deeply engrossed in an episode of Bonanza and was halfway through my workout when I heard something going on in the background. I felt compelled to take off my headphones and listen.
As I scanned the front desk, I immediately noticed that no one was up there. My eyes followed the source of the noise in the gym until I stopped at a man and woman standing near the vacant front desk. The man was screaming at the woman, and she was begging him to stop and quiet down. I listened carefully to better understand what was going on between them. The more she asked him to quiet down, the louder and more aggressive he became.
I continued to watch for the next few seconds; she was sobbing and embarrassed as his voice got louder and his face got closer and closer to hers. As the altercation escalated, I listened to the words, "You are a horrible mother, a horrible wife! You are worthless, and I should get rid of you." With adrenaline racing through my body and the instinctive feeling that this man was out of control and about to get physical, I jumped off the elliptical and walked toward him. I wasn't thinking at this point — just reacting. What did I really think I was going to do? I walked over to him, getting as close as possible to his face while staring into his eyes. We glared at each other, and seconds later he walked out.
I ran to the woman to see how she was doing. I questioned whether it was safe for her to go home and gave her some options and phone numbers if she needed help. Crying, she insisted she was fine and thanked me for the help.
My point is this: Not one of the fifteen people in close range of the situation even acknowledged in any way that something dangerous was taking place. Each person pretended like it just wasn't happening. I'm sure everyone there was a very nice person who cared about others. If they had contemplated what they would do in a situation like this, they probably would have assumed that they would take action — at least to make a call on their cell phones. But that was not the case.
So, girlfriend, the next time you're put in this type of situation, what are YOU going to do? Will you stand by and pretend that you don't see it happening? Will you convince yourself that you shouldn't get involved? Will you rationalize the situation, like witnesses did at Penn State, feeling that there is too much at risk to protect someone else? My hope is that you will find your inner hero and do the right thing!

Summer PlansPosted by admin on March 26th, 2013
It's summer and vacation has started for the kids. I am still thinking of what activities or summer lessons they can do so they won't get bored at home. I also do not want to overdo it because I want them to rest after a long schoolyear. They need to fatten up too. They are going to a different school next year and would be out the whole day.
Kid 1 is going to compete for a Nationals Competition in a week so it has been taking much of his time. After that we would need to focus on finding the right high school for him. It all goes by too fast!
Kid 2 is staying at home. I feel she has gotten too thin so my project is to fatten her up. She would be celebrating her 7th birthday soon and she wants a party. I also want her to read more so reading a book a day is part of the plan.
Health is wealth
I have been doing an hour of brisk walking on the treadmill for close to two weeks now. I plan to keep it up until I lose a significant amount of weight. I want to try yoga too. I have yet to buy some yoga clothing at everythingyoga.com thought.
Job & Money
The husband and I are working double time to cover expenses from enrollment to birthday party to summer lessons. It never ends.

Setting up an NFS Server and Client on Debian Wheezy
Submitted by till (Contact Author) (Forums) on Sun, 2014-02-02 14:23. :: Debian | ISPConfig | Web Server | Apache
Setting up an NFS Server and Client on Debian Wheezy
Version 1.0
This guide explains how to set up an NFS server and an NFS client on Debian Wheezy. NFS stands for Network File System; through NFS, a client can access (read, write) a remote share on an NFS server as if it was on the local hard disk. In this Tutorial I will show you two different NFS exports, the export of a client directory that stores files as user nobody / nogroup without preserving filesystem permissions and a export of the /var/www directory which preserves permissions and ownerships of files, as required on a hosting server setup.
1 Preliminary Note
I'm using two Debian Wheezy systems here:
2 Installing NFS
On the NFS server we run:
apt-get install nfs-kernel-server nfs-common
Then we create the system startup links for the NFS server and start it:
On the client we can install NFS as follows (this is actually the same as on the server):
apt-get install nfs-common
3 Exporting Directories on the Server
I'd like to make the directories /home/client1 and /var/www accessible to the client to show the two different access modes of the nfs server. The directory /home/client1 is shared in standard mode, so all files written to this directory are stored as user nobody and group nogroup. For the directory /var/www I use the no_root_squash option which instructs the nfs server to preserve permissions and ownerships of the files. This is e.g. required when you like to export the /var/www directory of a webserver managed with ISPConfig 3
First, I'll create the /home/client1 directory
mkdir /home/client1
The /var/www directory exists most likely on your server. If not, then create it:
mkdir /var/www
Now we must modify /etc/exports where we "export" our NFS shares. We specify /home/client1 and /var/www as NFS shares and tell NFS to make accesses to /home/client1 as user nobody (to learn more about /etc/exports, its format and available options, take a look at
man 5 exports
vi /etc/exports
(The no_root_squash option makes that /var/www will be accessed as root.)
To apply the changes in /etc/exports, we restart the kernel nfs server
/etc/init.d/nfs-kernel-server restart
4 Mounting the NFS shares on the Client
First we create the directories where we want to mount the NFS shares, e.g.:
mkdir -p /mnt/nfs/home/client1
If the direcory /var/www exists already on your server, then stop apache, rename the directory and create a new empty directory as mountpoint
/etc/init.d/apache2 stop
Afterwards, we can mount them as follows:
mount 192.168.0.100:/home/client1 /mnt/nfs/home/client1
You should now see the two NFS shares in the outputs of
df -h
[root@client ~]# df -h
[root@client ~]# mount
5 Testing
On the client, you can now try to create test files on the NFS shares:
touch /mnt/nfs/home/client1/test.txt
Now go to the server and check if you can see both test files:
ls -l /home/client1/
[root@server ~]# ls -l /home/client1
ls -l /var/nfs
[root@server ~]# ls -l /var/www
(Please note the different ownerships of the test files: the /home/client1 NFS share gets accessed as nobody / nogroup and is owned by nobody / nogroup; the /var/www share gets accessed as root, therefore /var/www/test.txt is owned by user and group root.)
6 Mounting NFS Shares At Boot Time
Instead of mounting the NFS shares manually on the client, you could modify /etc/fstab so that the NFS shares get mounted automatically when the client boots.
Open /etc/fstab and append the following lines:
vi /etc/fstab
Instead of rw,sync,hard,intr you can use different mount options. To learn more about available options, take a look at
man nfs
To test if your modified /etc/fstab is working, unmount the shares and run mount -a:
umount /mnt/nfs/home/client1
You should now see the two NFS shares in the outputs of
df -h
[root@client ~]# df -h
[root@client ~]# mount
7 Credits
This Tutorial is based in the Centos NFS Server Tutorial from Falko Timme.

From acclaimed author Richard North Patterson comes a sweeping family drama of dark secrets and individual awakenings, set against the backdrop of the tumultuous summer of 1968.
America is in a state of turbulence, engulfed in civil unrest and uncertainty. Yet for Whitney Dane- spending the summer of her twenty-second year on Martha's Vineyard-life could not be safer, nor the future more certain.
Educated at Wheaton, soon to be married, and the youngest daughter of the all-American Dane family, Whitney has everything she has ever wanted, and is everything her all-powerful and doting father, Charles Dane, wants her to be.
But the Vineyard's still waters are disturbed by the appearance of Benjamin Blaine. An underprivileged, yet fiercely ambitious and charismatic figure, Blaine is a force of nature neither Whitney nor her family could have prepared for.
As Ben's presence begins to awaken independence within Whitney, it also brings deep-rooted family tensions to a dangerous head. And soon Whitney's set-in-stone future becomes far from satisfactory, and her picture-perfect family far from pretty.
About the Author
Richard North Patterson is the author of twenty bestselling novels, including Garden of Eden, Exile, Degree of Guilt, and Silent Witness. He has appeared on Good Morning America, Hardball, and The CBS Morning Show, and his articles on politics, literature, and law have been published inThe London Times, Wall Street Journal, USA Today, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, Boston Globe, San Francisco Chronicle, and San Jose Mercury News. He lives in Martha's Vineyard, Cabo San Lucas, and San Francisco with his wife, Dr. Nancy Clair.
Praise for Loss Of Innocence…
"Loss of Innocence, second of a projected trilogy, is the compelling account of a family's collapse amid multiple betrayals in the bloody year 1968. The book moves at high velocity, is grandly plotted with a crescendo of an ending. This is Richard North Patterson at the top of his game." —Ward Just, author of An Unfinished Season and Rodin's Debutante
"Like male novelists of the Nineteenth century, Richard North Patterson actually looks at the world through a woman's eyes. He tells us the story of a girl born into a derived identity, and her path toward who she is and what she wants. In one life of the 1960s, he symbolizes a movement that keeps changing all our lives." —Gloria Steinem, author of Revolution from Within
"Wealthy, WASPY and protected, Whitney Dane lives a life of privilege under the seemingly benevolent patriarchy of her powerful father. At the family summer home on Martha's Vineyard, political violence and anti-war protests seem far away. But in the course of the season, cracks open in her closest relationships, exposing rot and darkness within and linking Whitney to the larger issues of race, class and corruption that roil the country. Richard North Patterson has created a richly textured romance, deftly set amid the seismic social shifts of 1968." —Geraldine Brooks, author of Caleb's Crossing
"At a time when the '60s are often vilified, Richard North Patterson revisits that era in this terrific new novel and reminds us that it was a time of moral awakening. Set in 1968, Loss of Innocence tells the story of a young woman's discovery of the true meaning of freedom. Moving into new territory with this coming-of-age novel, Patterson is a great storyteller." —Carol Gilligan, author of Kyra and In Other Voices
"Loss of Innocence is a stunning tour de force by one of my favorite novelists. This coming-of-age story electrifies with the authenticity of the Sixties—the sex, politics, language, mores and music. And Martha's Vineyard, with its heartbreaking beauty, is the ideal setting for an engrossing drama of a so-called perfect family riven by its secrets. Richard North Patterson, always brilliant, is better than ever." —Linda Fairstein, author of The Deadhouse
"Loss of Innocence is an extraordinary novel—profound, emotionally involving and totally addictive. This may be Richard North Patterson's best work: surprising and different, yet with the same ability to penetrate the minds of others—especially women, which is a rare gift." —Stephen Fry, The Fry Chronicles
"Loss of Innocence will tell you more about the turbulent summer of 1968 than most history books will."—Providence Journal
"A snapshot of America at a pivotal moment in history, and a beautifully written coming-of-age novel." —Lady Antonia Fraser, author of The Six Wives of Henry VIII and Must You Go?
"A title that is dripping with summer diversions, youthful passion and ideals, class tensions, and familial disruptions makes for wonderful reading whatever the season." —Library Journal (starred)
"Set in the summer and fall of a pivotal year in American history, 1968 . . . Patterson's latest offers up an appealing family drama set against the backdrop of a radically tumultuous and influential time." —Kristine Huntley, Booklist
"Patterson's family drama thrives on the expected . . . Patterson writes a family saga of class and money, power and pretense, love and loyalty. Think The Thorn Birds or Rich Man, Poor Man among the Martha's Vineyard moneyed set." —Kirkus Reviews
"Mr. Patterson has crafted a richly-layered look at the loss of innocence not only among his characters but that which America lost as a nation." -Jack Shea, The Martha's Vineyard Times
