The Federal Law Enforcement Training Center (FLETC) serves as an interagency law enforcement training organization for 90 United States government federal law enforcement agencies.[1]
The FLETC is headquartered at the former Naval Air Station Glynco in the Glynco area of unincorporated Glynn County, Georgia, near the port city of Brunswick, Georgia, and about halfway between Savannah, Georgia, and Jacksonville, Florida.[2] In addition to Glynco, FLETC operates two other residential training sites in Artesia, New Mexico, and Charleston, South Carolina. FLETC also operates an in-service re-qualification training facility in Cheltenham, Maryland, for use by agencies with large concentrations of personnel in the Washington, D.C., area. The FLETC has oversight and program management responsibilities for the International Law Enforcement Academies (ILEA) in Gaborone, Botswana, and Bangkok, Thailand. FLETC also supports training at ILEAs in Hungary and El Salvador.
Studies conducted in the late 1960s revealed an urgent need for high-quality, cost-effective training by a cadre of professional instructors using modern training facilities and standardized course content. Congress responded by authorizing funds for planning and constructing the Consolidated Federal Law Enforcement Training Center (CFLETC). In 1970, the CFLETC was established as a bureau of the Department of the Treasury (Treasury Order #217) and began training operations in temporary facilities in Washington, D.C.[3]
The permanent location of the training center was originally planned for the Washington, D.C., area. However, a three-year construction delay resulted in Congress requesting that surplus federal installations be surveyed to determine if one could serve as the permanent site. In May 1975, after an extensive review of existing facilities, the former Naval Air Station Glynco was selected. In the summer of 1975, the newly renamed Federal Law Enforcement Training Center (FLETC) relocated from Washington, D.C., and began training in September of that year at Glynco, Georgia. Glynco is the headquarters site and main campus for the FLETC and houses the senior leadership of the organization.[3]
On March 1, 2003, FLETC formally transferred from the Treasury Department to the newly created Department of Homeland Security (DHS), along with some 22 other federal agencies and entities. The move reflected the centrality of the FLETC's mission in support of the unified homeland security effort, which was expanded following the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001.
The mission of the FLETC is "We train those who protect our homeland." FLETC serves as an interagency law enforcement training organization for 89 Federal agencies (aka Partner Organizations). The FLETC also provides training to state, local, campus, tribal, and international law enforcement agencies. Through the Rural Policing Institute (RPI) and the Office of State and Local Training, the FLETC provides tuition-free and low-cost training to state, local, campus and tribal law enforcement agencies.
Both independently and by means of cooperative research and development agreements with the military and cooperative agreements with the entertainment industry, leading technology companies and academic institutions, the FLETC conducts research to identify methods for offering training that is more effective.
The FLETC's parent agency, the Department of Homeland Security, supervises its administrative and financial activities.
As an interagency training organization, FLETC has professionals from diverse backgrounds to serve on its faculty and staff. Approximately one-third of the instructor staff are permanent FLETC employees. The remainder are federal officers and investigators on short-term assignment from their parent organizations. Partner Organizations have input regarding training issues and functional aspects of the Center. Agencies take part in curriculum review and development conferences and help develop policies and directives.

Lettris is a curious tetris-clone game where all the bricks have the same square shape but different content. Each square carries a letter. To make squares disappear and save space for other squares you have to assemble English words (left, right, up, down) from the falling squares.
Boggle gives you 3 minutes to find as many words (3 letters or more) as you can in a grid of 16 letters. You can also try the grid of 16 letters. Letters must be adjacent and longer words score better. See if you can get into the grid Hall of Fame !

The Orange County Register
625 N. Grand Avenue
Santa Ana, CA 92701
California's taxable sales continued their strong rebound, increasing an estimated 8% in the third quarter compared to the same period in 2010, says the State Board of Equalization.
That increase comes on the heels of a 9% increase in the second quarter.
The California sales tax rolled back one percentage point on July 1. In most Orange County cities, the sales and use tax rate is now 7.25%.
The July through September 2011 numbers are unofficial and based on cash receipts. The state takes much longer to process official numbers. The board is only now releasing official data for the third quarter of 2010, with taxable sales up 5% to $121.3 billion.
In Orange County, taxable sales for the third quarter of 2010 rose 4.6% to $12.1 billion, the board says. The taxable sales increase was 4.4% for all of Southern California for the third quarter of 2010.
The types of products generating the biggest increase in taxable sales in the third quarter of 2010 were:
Note that many sales of the last four categories are not subject to sales tax.

"A person waiting is a person suffering," a doctor told me recently. "I never realized that -- until I became a patient myself. The difference between being a doctor and not being a doctor is the timing."
The word "patient" has two meanings - referring to a person with illness, or to waiting. Both meanings derive from the same Latin word - patientia - meaning, "to suffer."
But unfortunately, healthcare institutions, policies and providers often ignore this fact.
Patients pay the price every day.
"I went to see my doctor," a physician recently told me. "And he kept me waiting outside in the waiting room for 45 minutes! It drove me up the wall!"
"Have you ever kept patients waiting," I asked him.
"I don't know. I guess so. I never thought about it"
The fact that he didn't know surprised me, but is hardly unique. Doctors experience time very differently than patients, but usually don't realize that this discrepancy exists.
Recently, I interviewed a group of doctors who had become patients, and who repeatedly described their astonishment to suddenly experience time very differently.

LMI Aerospace Announces Second Quarter 2010 Results
Net sales for the second quarter of 2010 and 2009 for the Engineering Services segment were as follows:
|Three Months Ended June 30,
|% of Total
|% of Total
|($ in millions)
|Corporate and regional aircraft
|Large commercial aircraft
Net sales of Corporate and Regional Aircraft services grew by $1.1 million, driven by growth in support for the Mitsubishi Regional Jet and Bombardier. Net sales declined for large commercial aircraft as the design matured for the 747-8. These declines were partially offset by increases on the A350 and 787. Military sales were down $3.2 million, primarily due to reduced staffing on the Sikorsky CH-53 and the winding down of certain Lockheed programs.
Gross profit for the second quarter of 2010 was $13.2 million or 23.6 percent, compared to $13.4 million or 21.3 percent in the second quarter of 2009. The Aerostructures segment generated gross profit of $10.2 million or 26.7 percent of sales in the second quarter of 2010, up from $9.0 million or 22.3 percent of sales in the second quarter of 2009. This improvement in gross profit was primarily attributable to increased efficiency at our fabrication facilities. During the second quarter of 2009, production levels had dropped as the segment reduced inventory levels, resulting in shorter work weeks and inefficient production processes. The Engineering Services segment generated a gross profit of $3.1 million or 17.2 percent of sales in the quarter ended June 30, 2010, versus $4.4 million or 19.5 percent of net sales for the second quarter of 2009. This decline was attributable to the lower revenue levels providing less coverage of fixed costs and the establishment of a reserve for potential billing rate reductions on a recently completed contract.

U.S. teen skier Shiffrin wins Olympic slalom gold
|United States' Mikaela Shiffrin leaves after finishing the first run of the women's slalom at the Sochi 2014 Winter Olympics, Friday, Feb. 21, 2014, in Krasnaya Polyana, Russia.(AP Photo/Christophe Ena)
KRASNAYA POLYANA, Russia (AP) — Mikaela Shiffrin made Alpine skiing history Friday as the youngest ever winner of an Olympic slalom gold medal.
The 18-year-old American protected her lead from an impressive first run to win in 1 minute, 54 seconds. She finished 0.53 seconds faster than veteran Marlies Schild of Austria, one of Shiffrin's childhood favorites.
Kathrin Zettel of Austria took bronze, trailing 0.81 behind Shiffrin.
Shiffrin took the record for youngest Olympic slalom champion, male or female, from Paoletta Magoni of Italy, who won gold at the 1984 Sarajevo Games when she was 19.
Schriffin completed a full set of slalom honors — Olympic and world championship gold medals and a season-long World Cup discipline title — before her 19th birthday next month.

text: I'm just curious as to when everyone's kiddos stopped taking naps. Landon is 4 and it seems like he still needs that afternoon nap. If he doesn't get it, he's a miserable wreck. It's even causing issues with his afternoon pre-k class (his behavior and inability to listen). However, on his off days from pre-k, if he naps, he's up forever at night. It's like a crazy cycle we are in! When did your children stop taking naps??

Stanley, Inc. (NYSE:SXE.DL)
The Company provides information technology services and solutions to U.S. defense and federal civilian government agencies.
Investors need to look forward when making decisions, not backwards. The market has already priced in Stanley's impressive results for this quarter, but has failed to see that there will likely be limitations to the company's growth going forward. With a P/E ratio of 27.6, the market is treating this like a high growth stock. Yet, looming on the horizon is an Obama government that will be looking to decrease defense spending in order to help pay for the government's recent handouts, as well as health care and other promises. So far this year, Stanley has received 71% of its revenue from the Department of Defense. This does not bode well for a company that has a high growth rate priced into its stock.

Parents, raise your hand if you've been there — it's late August, and your daughter comes to you and says [pick one…or more]:
- •"My clothes are all wrong"
- •"I hate my hair"
- •"These shoes are stupid"
- •"My jeans are too [tight, loose, flared, skinny, etc.]. Nobody else is wearing these."
You get the idea. These complaints are often followed by a declaration that this school year Will. Be. Different.
What's going on?
A reader asked me recently why her daughter gets so worked up about her hair and clothes before school starts each year — to her I offered my sympathy, and this guess:
It's about much more than hair and clothes.
Adolescence is a tricky time for most kids and few things produce as much anxiety as appearance. After all, it's the packaging they show to the peer group and to some degree, it advertises who they are – or at least who they think they are. The new school year, with its fresh, "clean slate" feeling, is an opportunity for an advertising do-over. It's a way to project a whole new persona.
You can see it in the freshman girls, with their short skirts, heavy black eyeliner and self-conscious checking of any reflective surface: "I'm not a baby anymore," the appearance tries to scream. "Look at me!"

ST. LOUIS PARK, Minn. (AP) — With many guessing about her 2016 plans, Former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton is delivering a speech to a Minnesota audience.
Clinton was scheduled to speak Sunday evening at Beth El Synagogue in St. Louis Park as part of its national speaker series. The event is sold out.
Clinton left her post as President Barack Obama's chief diplomat earlier this year. She has been giving speeches around the country, leading some to speculate she is building toward a second campaign for president.
Then a U.S. senator representing New York, Clinton ran for president in 2008.

Some numbers have no additive inverses. Can someone prove that a number can have at most 1 additive inverse?
closed as unclear what you're asking by Jonas Meyer, mez, Claude Leibovici, Jyrki Lahtonen, 5xum Jul 29 at 6:35
Please clarify your specific problem or add additional details to highlight exactly what you need. As it's currently written, it's hard to tell exactly what you're asking. See the How to Ask page for help clarifying this question.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
For an example of a commutative magma in which an element has more than one inverse, consider $M=\{0,a,b,c\}$ with the following addition table: $$\begin{array}{c||cccc} + & 0 & a & b & c\\ \hline 0 & 0 & a & b & c\\ a & a & b & 0 & 0\\ b & b & 0 & c & a\\ c & c & 0 & a & a \end{array}$$ Then $a$ has two additive inverses ($b$ and $c$); the reason the "usual" proof does not work any more is that $c+(a+b)\neq (c+a)+b$, since the operation is not associative.
Associativity is necessary; commutativity can be avoided if you specify that the two inverses act on "different sides" (e.g., $ab=1$ and $ca=1$). It is possible for an element to have two distinct inverses on the same side and no inverse on the other side even in the presence of associativity. For example, if $X$ is an infinite set, and $f\colon X\to X$ is a one-to-one function that is not onto, then $f$ will have many left inverses under composition (in fact, infinitely many), but no right inverses.
Suppose a number $a$ has two additive inverses $b$ and $b^\prime$. $$ \begin{align*} b &= b + 0\\ &= b + (a + b^\prime)\\ &= (b + a) + b^\prime\\ &= 0 + b^\prime\\ &= b^\prime \end{align*} $$
Therefore, $b$ and $b^\prime$ were really the same number after all.
Can you specify the setting more? Are you talking about rings, groups, or fields?
A simple naive go at your question without any more specificity would be, assume $a$ and $a'$ are additive inverses of $b$, then $a=a + 0 = a+(b+a')=(a+b)+a'=0+a'=a'$ so $a'=a$.

Canadian government won't step in to fix BlackBerry
Since BlackBerry employs a large number of Canadians, you might expect that Canada's government would hate to see the number of unemployed Canadians grow sharply. But Moore was adamant about where the responsibility to turn BlackBerry around lies, saying that "it's for them (BlackBerry) to engage the market and provide devices and services, platforms, content that the market will receive well." The country's industry minister had the understatement of the year when he said that the OEM was having a "hard time" with the BlackBerry 10 line.
BlackBerry's largest stockholder, Prem Watsa, announced his resignation from the BlackBerry board on August 12th which means that he could be involved in a plan to save the company. So far, there have been three BlackBerry 10 handsets released including the all-touch BlackBerry Z10, the QWERTY equipped BlackBerry Q10 and the so called entry-level BlackBerry Q5. While it has not yet been introduced, leaked photos have appeared of the BlackBerry Aristo Z30/A10, expected to be released in November. This will be the first 'Berry to offer a 5 inch screen and while CEO Heins said that he is excited about the device, it will face some heavy duty competition from phones like the Samsung Galaxy S4, HTC One, Sony Xperia Z, Nokia Lumia 1020, the Apple iPhone 5S and the LG G2.
At one time synonymous with the term smartphone, BlackBerry lost its way once the touchscreen Apple iPhone was introduced in 2007. BlackBerry's management at the time was cocky and in denial, leading to a downward spiral from which it has never recovered.

Interesting. As a prominent Canadian company, they should've expected a bail-out of some sort, but I guess the government knows what's up. Looking back into history, no government support when needed means imminent failure. This isn't happening for the first time either with Canadian companies.

If Blackberry themselves don't want to be fixed, how can the government help?
6. Droid_X_Doug (Posts: 5948; Member since: 22 Dec 2010)
More like why should the government help?
7. itsdeepak4u2000 (Posts: 2866; Member since: 03 Nov 2012)
They need to lower the prices of their devices, they are way to expensive, also I think that they should try for some Android or merge with other OSs.

Blackberry needs to change from inside, because now it's like trying to help a very sick person refusing medical attention or something like that...
8. Armor (Posts: 49; Member since: 06 Dec 2011)
Why would the government not help a major company? The US government bailed out General Motors or they would not be here today. Lots of jobs saved. Same goes for Blackberry!!
10. rossy (Posts: 1; Member since: 23 Aug 2013)
So the major company must be saved with taxpayers money but the small ones don't? What is the major company anyway? 1000 employees, 10,000, 100,000? The U.S. government lost money on the GM and Chrysler bail-out. It bailed out unions by putting putting them ahead of the line. Ahead of bond holders and preferred stock holders. When a company owes more than it can pay back, there is an established bankruptcy process with a judge managing the process of settling company's debts. GM and Chrysler would have gone through it like other companies did, and would have emerged leaner and not settled with debt. That process was just delayed by the bail out. No issues were solved. I am glad Canadian government lets the free-market and the company itself sort out its issues.
9. PhoneCritic (Posts: 375; Member since: 05 Oct 2011)
This is the point where I believe BB needs to think about getting out of the hardware business and becoming a services company offering BBM to other platforms. Time is running out and a quick decision needs to be made because competing Apps are gaining traction and will offer stiff competition to BBM when or if it arrives to iOS, Android and WP

Dear God,
I come to you today Lord, asking for financial help. I am in need of money to pay our bills, and money to provide food for our family. I know that you can provide all things, so God, I am asking you please, to pour out your blessings on my family, although, I know I am so undeserving.
Please forgive me of my sins, and I want to thank you for all the blessings you have already given me, and also for the blessings yet to come. I ask these things in Jesus' name I pray, Amen!

December 21, 2014
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) - The college student who got a stinging brushback from Chelsea Clinton when he asked about the Monica Lewinsky scandal said Wednesday he's a Clinton supporter who was trying to get her to show "what makes Hillary so strong."
Evan Strange, a Butler University student who works on the school's newspaper, The Butler Collegian, said he had asked Chelsea Clinton her opinion "on the criticism of her mother that how she handled the Lewinsky scandal might be a sign of weakness and she might not be a strong enough candidate to be president."
It wasn't clear what aspect of the former first lady's actions he was referring to. Before she was fully aware of President Bill Clinton's relationship with Lewinsky, Hillary Rodham Clinton said allegations about her husband and the White House intern were manufactured by a "vast right-wing conspiracy."
Strange's question at Chelsea Clinton's appearance Tuesday at the school brought a stinging rebuke from Clinton's daughter. "Wow, you're the first person actually that's ever asked me that question in the, I don't know maybe, 70 college campuses I've now been to, and I do not think that is any of your business," Chelsea Clinton said during the campaign visit for her mother.
"I'm a supporter of Hillary. I love Hillary," Strange said Wednesday on CBS' "The Early Show." He said he asked the question because his friends "always bring up that scandal. It's not something I asked to cause trouble but to show those people what makes Hillary so strong."
He said that by brushing him off, Chelsea Clinton missed an opportunity to show her mother's strength.
"I was very surprised" at the rebuke, Strange said. "I can see where she'd get a little defensive because of the question and hearing Lewinsky over and over again, but I would like to hear her say something about Hillary rather than dismissing the question."

Economic dev't in Ethiopia very impressive: UK Ambassador
Addis Ababa, 21 July 2014 (WIC) - UK Ambassador to Ethiopia Greg Dorey said the consecutive economic development registered in Ethiopia over the past years is "very impressive".
In an exclusive interview with ENA, the Ambassador said the development in Ethiopia is "very impressive" and "potentially sustainable" as well if the government continues to take the right decisions.
"I think it is very impressive whether you take the government's figures or you take IMF figures ... in terms of GDP growth. That is very very impressive and its potentially sustainable growth as well if the government takes the right decisions on the economy then that growth can continue into the future."
The economic growth in Ethiopia has been accompanied by a huge social investment in human development.
The Ambassador appreciates the strides that have been taken in improving the health, education and social wellbeing of the people.
"Of course this has been accompanied by a huge social investment in human development which is equally important. And you can see the tremendous strides that have been taken in improving the health, education and social wellbeing of the people in Ethiopia really is very acknowledgeable; what has been done in a relatively small space of time."
"Ethiopia is still a poor country so that work needs to continue." he added.
"So I have to say everything is moving in the right direction; it just needs the right decision to be taken to continue those achievements."
He expressed hope that the economic growth in Ethiopia will continue to benefit the people through job creation and sustainable development.
The bilateral relation between Ethiopia and UK is 'very diverse, mutually beneficial and very good,' according to the Ambassador.
"Our bilateral development cooperation is the biggest such program in the world for Ethiopia it has been for some years and I expected to continue to be."
UK provides over 300 million pound sterling annually to Ethiopia in connection with development programs.
Trade and investment relationship is also taking off from a 'low base'. UK imports of goods from Ethiopia have grown by 48 percent from 48 million pound sterling in 2009 to 70 million pound sterling in 2013.
In the same period UK exports to Ethiopia have also grown by 29 percent from 77 million pound sterling to 99 million pound sterling.
Climate change is one of the areas where the two countries are working together.
The Ambassafor recognizes the efforts of the government to create a climate resilient green economy by 2025 and achieving a middle income status with zero carbon emissions.
Ambassador Dorey said the Climate Resilient Green Economy Policy of Ethiopia can be a model to other countries.
"It is an absolutely adorable policy. I could recommend it highly enough not just for Ethiopia but it's a model to other countries as well.'
The UK government is putting 45 million pound sterling into this area partly into creating or enhancing institutions which deal with climate change both public and private. (ENA)
