Well you can tell that this place is very old. The water pressure in the shower was so low it took me forever to wash the shampoo out of my hair. The coffee pot didn't have the carafe. But the worst part was on our day of check out. I was standing in the room only in my underwear combing out my hair when the MALE housekeeper just opened up the room. We still had 30 minutes til check out, my air conditioner was on so I'm sure you could hear it from outside. No knock or nothing! Just opened the door as if the room was empty! When I yelled at him he quickly exited and said sorry. When I complained at the front desk she said well maybe he thought you had already left? Not a good enough excuse if you ask me. It wasn't even 11am yet! We will not stay here again. We came down for a funeral so it was last minute.

A few months back, I took my dog to her groomer and as I left her to get a blueberry facial (I know, I can't believe my dog gets blueberry facials either) and a bath, I warned the groomer that she'd been licking her paw nonstop for a few days and it might be a bit sensitive. The groomer, who last time I checked had 10 dogs living under her roof—10!—mentioned that the licking could be an indication of pain and asked me if I'd ever tried pet acupuncture. I hadn't, and if the suggestion had come from anyone else, I might've brushed it off as total nonsense. But this lady knows her dogs, so my interest was piqued.
Luckily, my dog's paw-licking was a thing of the past, post-blueberry-filled bath (I guess a spa day was treatment enough), but my curiosity about pet acupuncture was still alive and well. Then, last week, I spotted an article on Slate slamming the practice of pet acupuncture, which made me even more curious about the controversial treatment. Intrigued, we decided to delve into a topic we rarely explore here on Be Well Philly: pet health.
We spoke with Philly-based animal acupuncturist and licensed veterinarian Christina Fuoco of Whole Animal Gym, who boasts some of the Philadelphia Zoo's animals as patients, to get the lowdown on how the heck pet acupuncture works and how our furry friends can benefit from it.

The Long Career Launch Program (the "Program") is designed to make it financially possible for recent graduates of The University of Texas School of Law to obtain legal work experience in unpaid internships while they are awaiting bar results and looking for permanent employment. Graduates who are selected to participate in the Spring 2015 Program will receive a stipend to support work in an unpaid legal internship with a government agency or a 501(c)(3) public interest organization. Internships with judicial courts are not eligible. The Spring 2015 Program is generously funded by a grant from the Joe R. and Teresa Lozano Long Foundation.
For more information, please contact Nicole Simmons, Director of Public Service Programs, at 512-232-1160 or email@example.com, or Denyse Demel, Government Career Counselor, at 512-232-1162 or email@example.com.
As an agency or organization that would not normally hire unlicensed attorneys or may not have the resources to pay interns, the Long Career Launch Program is a way to obtain much-needed legal assistance from outstanding Texas Law graduates. The Program increases access to justice in the community and promotes public service work among our graduates. Response from past participating host organizations has been overwhelmingly favorable as nearly 150 government agencies and public interest organizations have participated in the Program since its inception in 2008.
The Spring 2015 Long Career Launch Program is open to December 2014 J.D. graduates of Texas Law who will be taking the February 2015 bar exam. It is open only to those who have not yet secured offers of employment; it is not open to those who have secured jobs but have deferred start dates.
Graduates who are interested in participating in the Program secure an internship with an eligible organization, identify their supervising attorney at that organization, and then apply for a place in the Program. If selected, graduates complete the necessary paperwork and begin their internships. The number of applicants accepted into the Program depends on available funding; we expect selections to be competitive.
Sponsored interns are required to work a minimum of 300 hours to be completed during the period between the February bar exam and the publication of bar results in May. The internship must begin no earlier than March 2 and no later than March 13, and end no later than May 8, 2015. Because it is our hope that Program recipients will simultaneously conduct a job search for long-term employment, this will allow them up to 10 weeks to complete the 300 hours.
Since graduates will be seeking long-term employment, it is possible that an intern may find a permanent position and need to leave during the projected tenure of the internship. In such an instance, we encourage the intern and host organization to put in place a mutually agreeable transition plan. Although we don't expect an intern's job search process to materially interfere with his or her business-day work, we ask for flexibility to accommodate a possible job interview or minor job search-related interruption.
If you are interested in sponsoring an intern as part of the Long Career Launch Program, you may immediately begin posting a position on the Career Services Office's online Job Bank on Symplicity. We encourage you to post positions no later than Monday, January 5, 2015, with an application deadline of no later than Tuesday, January 20, 2015. As a potential host organization, you will have the opportunity to screen applicants before offering an internship. In addition, you may host multiple applicants.
Please refer to the sample LCLP job posting (PDF). Please note that graduates have until Tuesday, January 27, 2015 to apply to the Program.
We hope you will take advantage of this opportunity to connect with some of the finest law students in the country seeking to work for the public good.

Photographer's Note
Our photography tour hadended. All had left, except me and Shrinivas. We spent almost entire day going through the little gulleys of the town, meeting many people discussing and then ruminating on many ideas. As a training and of course potential photography opportunity we walked up the stoopa hill in Leh. It was pretty comfortable to start with I was in a basic fleece layer over just a Tee. Met two weirdo looking photographers with long peligroso curley hair and equally badd beard with abundant clothes and big fat tummys barely going up the stairs one at a time. They were more interested in trying their gymnastic abilities than taking photos I thought. Well...I am a smartypants..lightweight, less loaded more fit. I thought again.I quickly moved up, but after the first half the weather had taken a large turn and the same people with lot of warm clothes looked more fortunate..err smart. Somehow I reached in that chilly wind that was blowing hard. First thing we decided ..was to have the tea. I sat inside this hillside restaurant and started enjoying the warmth of the Sun through the window and the view from high. By the time the tea arrived the wind out side had lifted the sand over the valley floors and now has taken a form of a sand storm. With wide eyes we watched it travel across the valley for some time, and during it, I saw the bright clouds coming down trying to kiss the peaks of the dry bald mountains and moving from peaks to peaks as the winds pushed them further. Within moments I was outside the cafe, with my 5D and 24-70mm lens. The chill felt through the light fleece and my ski mask liner seemed to be ignored by my senses, as I immersed myself into capturing this extraordinary Himalayan phenomenon. I was also struggling to find the right window of time and light. The dark shadows were quickly touching the feet of the monasteries from below. The bright clouds looked as intimidated as could be. But, In the end, like this Namgyal monastery, only one thought remained. HOLD ON... HOLD ON A LITTLE LONGER. THIS TOO WILL SUBSIDE. AND WHEN IT VANISHES YOU STILL WILL REMAIN..STRONGER THAN BEFORE...

I still can't help thinking that the strangest and least talked about piece of this whole puzzle is the Whitney Duncan connection. I have posted about this before, but to recap, Whitney Duncan posts a 2 part video on youtube some time before Holly's abduction called Right Road Now, and its all about how great Whitney Duncan is, and it includes family interviews and a tour of scott's hill elementary school. Whitney tells all about how her Mom and Her Aunt(Karen Bono) are teachers at the school. Now Whitney, like her or not is just the sort of Women I would picture having obcessed fans/stalkers. Almost exactly one month before Holly was abducted, I think either March 12th or March 17th Whitney tweets a picture of her holding her new handgun she had just bought. Why would you do that unless you want everyone to know you are armed. My conclusion to that is that Whitney felt threated. It a to much of a coincidence for me to ignore.
So IMO this video opens easy access to her family, leads directly to the Bobo's and Holly. We see this kind of thing all the time in Hollywood, take for example Audrina Patridge, or Paris Hilton, or a whole list of others that have had there houses burgaled and been threatened. There is just a certian element of society that is attracted by this kind of thing..and its easy to imagine that they would watch Whitney's video, google scott's hill elementary, go there, follow some of the teachers home hoping to be lead right to Whitney Duncan's house, but instead end up at Holly Bobo's house. I can't help but think that this could happen so easily. I won't trust the whole world knowing where my Mom worked if I was even a semi-famous good looking women.
Again, no proof, just strikes me funny.
To expand on the theory that some of Hollys items were placed by the perp so they could be found: I believe the perp would have done this in order to create a façade of an event which did not actually happen. I believe it is very possible Holly was fatally harmed on her own property. If that is the case, then the perp wanted to make the crime look like an abduction by placing Hollys items at various locations so as to create a false exit path. In all likelihood, Holly could be very close to home.
Yes, I know, the theory above is throwing out the eyewitness testimony.
How can I reconcile that?
1) Hes lying.
2) Hes mistaken.
I know many of you dont believe that this theory is a likely possibility. Im not saying the above theory is what happened. I am only bringing to light another possibility, thats it.
The above theory is based on some facts:
1) Some of Hollys items were found at various locations (fact).
2) The eyewitness was initially mistaken about the identity of camo man (fact).
3) Hollys blood was found on the premises (fact). This does indicate an injury (was it fatal?).
I guess people take things differently or have different interpretations. I see ZERO connection between Whitney Duncan and Holly's disappearance.
I had never even heard of WD before all this and even with her being on Survivor I rarely if ever hear/heard her name mentioned. Whether you like Paris Hilton or not, WD is certainly not in the same league as she is as far as name recognition and recognizability.
Most obsessed types know all about the focus of their attention. They would know where Whitney lived. These people dont usually appear out of the blue and usually are known to the person that they are stalking. Intially they may not seem dangerous or threatening. They also probably don't just switch their focus from person to person, ie. they are madly fixated on Whitney and then skip over to her cousin which NO ONE outside of their area would have ever heard of.
The fact that WD posted a picture of herself with guns is to me meaningless... this is THE SOUTH and EVERYONE, male and female HAS GUNS. They are a status symbol too. You got your truck, your rims, your guns... I think I have seen photos of Holly, Clint, and Drew all with some sort of gun or weapon (hunting related).
I think one of the reasons to you dont hear much about and from WD is she is not involved other than being somewhat distantly related to Holly. She can't say anthing... its not like she lived in Holly's house. She wasn't a witness to anything. She seemingly has no first hand knowledge of anything.
My stalker came into contact with me at work and followed my sister and I home when he found out where we lived from one of the taxis we regularly took late at nite. Nothing real complicated there looking back at it.

Distantly related??? Aren't they first cousins?? Their moms are sisters, unless I'm mistaken. First cousins are pretty close kin where I come from.

IMO you can put WD in any social catagory you want but the fact is that here is her video:

Can you honestly tell me that there is zero chance of this Lady attracting the attention of a stalker? I disagree, and it really bothers me that she made it so easy to find her family..Coincidence?

In memory of Ron Pruitt
I was only trying to discuss facts surrounding actual events that happened in the community in which the abduction took place. I wasn't trying to bash anyone. I apoligize.
I hope all hunters and outdoor enthusiasts will take note of their surroundings this season, as we head into colder weather. Maybe it would be a good idea to start another poster campaign surrounding the Parsons/Darden area in places where outdoor and hunting supplies are sold? Can't hurt to remind people to be alert for changes in ground surfaces, bodies of water, interest hunting dogs and wild animals may take in certain areas, etc.
I think the thing is, is that Whitney Duncan's personal and professional life choices have no place when investigating Holly's abduction.
This is an extended family that is very close to one another- as many families are- and there is no reason to pass any kind of judgement on any of them, except to extend our sympathy to them for the loss of Holly under extremely traumatic circumstances. And to do our best to try and sleuth victim-friendly leads, that might help bring Holly home to her family.
Holly is out there somewhere. Let's redirect, and see if we can't think out of the box as to where she might be.
Been thinking about the different approach families take in these tragic cases - some are very outspoken and in the media, some are very quite and remain out the spotlight. I'm curious if in the recent cases of this year; has this made any difference?
The more self-aware I become, the less sense any of this makes

Distancing (click to read)
I took the poster's point as being that perhaps WD was the intended victim, not a suspect or POI. Most families of missing persons do not include a celebrity who have videos on the internet and since this case seems to point away from the more-usual type of perp, i.e. boyfriend or husband, we have no idea what could be important. JMO
Just my opinion, of course.
That is exactly my point, I can't understand why nobody wants to talk about this..I mean litterally, celebrity stalking happenes all the time. I think it could be a legitimate motive to this crime. I shouldn't have ventured an opinion about anyones personal or professional choices, I get that, it won't happen again..but I think the evidence points to this as something within the realm of possiblity. This is a part of the country where people don't even lock there doors at night, and all of a sudden, bang, Holly Bobo is gone and the headline for months is "Country Singer Whitney Duncan's cousin abducted". What changed, the 20th annual coon hunt? Everyone says think out of the box
Yes, I understand that. And this is not directed at you, cluciano- just jumping off.
I meant that I don't think mods want us passing moral judgement on the way family and friends of victims live their lives- they are victims as well by nature of the loss of their cousin, their friend, their sister, their daughter, their aunts and uncles, etc. We have no reason to criticize WD for how she has handled this terrible crime.
I can certainly see how someone being in the 'limelight' so to speak may invite interest into an individual or a family, friends, connections etc. But all sorts of people from all walks of life put videos up on youTube all the time. To judge Whitney for this, or for the media appearances she (or any other victim(s) in this circumstance) seems very judgemental to me- and not very productive in finding out what has happened to Holly and where she is.
Maybe if we want to sleuth that avenue, we could look at public venues that Holly may have attended with Whitney, places where she may have encountered a stalker- or anything like that.
But Whitney, the Bobo family and extended family, and the local community doesn't need to be judged for their personality, or life and/or career choices. Imvhoo, of course.
snipped respectfully:
I keep coming back to just how little we really have been told in this case. We have a very small timeline of events of that fateful morning. But, we have not been told anything about the days, weeks, months leading up to it. What took place in her life, places she visited, friends she met with, interaction with others. These are all the things LE must have done the gumshoe work of figuring out by now...
I wonder how "political" the decisions being made are at this point - political in the sense that there must be some who feel letting more info out to the public might help solve this case, while whomever is in charge wants to keep everything secret...
The more self-aware I become, the less sense any of this makes
Rule-of-Three (click to read)
Three-No Cases (click to read)]
Red Flags When Spouse Goes Missing (click to read)
Distancing (click to read)
It would be helpful to know what Holly did even the day before she vanished...which we don't, and as far as I know, have no way of learning.
Also, WD was not just a person posting a video, she was, locally at least, a celebrity with name recognition, apparently and resmebles Holly in many ways, JMO.
Just my opinion, of course.
I think it is POSSIBLE that Holly was mistaken for Whitney, that's all. Aapparently one of the videos she posted had info about thier homes, etc...or that Holly encountered someone who was after WD and decided to go through Holly to get to her...just an option that cannot be dismissed with what we know.
Just my opinion, of course.
I can see how someone may have been drawn to Holly through her close affiliation with Whitney- and it is so easy to 'find' someone these days- you don't have to put yourself on youTube to make that possible, that's for sure.
That's why I suggested we look at venues where Whitney and Holly may have connected prior to Holly's abduction. A list of public performances, shows, auditions, recordings, tapings, etc that Holly may have attended? Holiday functions, parties- anything. And locations of those?
These are all things we can sleuth out, I think.
My original thought was that maybe someone was at the Bobo residence because they where looking for WD, ie they knew that the Mom of WD was a teacher at Scotts hill, and somehow followed KB home on mistake..and then after waiting for KB and husband to leave, started to snoop the Bobo residence thinking it was the Duncan house, and had an unexcepted encounter with HB..its just a though. I have seen the in pictures that there is a sign on the Bobo's mailbox that says "the Bobo's"..but that may not mean anything, its possible it wasn't seen.
At the initial press conference, can anyone explain why the Sheriff was crying? Because at that point the public is being told Holly is missing, not deceased. So what up w/ the Sheriff? Is he just very emotional, or does he know (or believe) something we don't?

GhostDawg - Unregistered July 04, 2012 5:18 PM It will be interesting to find out exactly what happened. Reports say the car came to a stop and as mechanics went to attend the car is sped off at around 30-40mph into the truck. Terrible to hear she lost her right eye, but glad she's alive and in stable condition. All the best wishes to her and her family.
billox - Unregistered July 04, 2012 5:18 PM Stay strong and get well soon, it was a shame her fisrt ride in F1 ended like this.All the best
richard July 04, 2012 5:19 PM oli. the loss of an eye WILL mean the end of her racing career, alas. you need to have 20/20 vision but lenses are now allowed. to compare her with zanardi is not right. zanardi had leg injuries and bmw created a car for him with hand controls. unfortunately marias injuries are more than just the loss of an eye. she also has a fractured skull and possibly brain damage. so we must still continue to pray for her, and hope that she will have a full and happy life. Reply Report abuse
Ralf - Unregistered July 04, 2012 5:28 PM This I not the news wanted to hear... All the best to Maria and her family in this difficult time and for the future!
rxracer July 04, 2012 5:39 PM "the loss of an eye is not the end of her racing career"Sadly, it is. It's not so much about 20/20 vision (which regards what a person can see at 20 feet), but rather depth perception. The human brain requires both eyes in order to determine depth. And racing of any sort, let alone F1, absolutely requires depth perception.On the positive side, she's alive. It may seem small comfort to a racer, but they're strong people. And I believe she will eventually come to terms with it. Here's hoping the prognosis doesn't get worse. Reply Report abuse
Simon Callaghan July 04, 2012 6:33 PM Last Edited 974 days ago Wow Andrew. That's the kinda sentiment we all want to hear. I'm at a loss for words. Such awful news. Let's hope as people say and this is the worst of it. Reply Report abuse
Carl Hall - Unregistered July 04, 2012 6:45 PM SHAKEN - why is this worse because its a female driver? it was a freak accident... which don't care who they affect. th3 fact she's a woman will actually have zero bearing on what happened yesterday... and its a sad reflection of the f1 media that this is the primary description... as if its a huge shock that a woman can drive a car.My thoughts are with Maria and her family. I hope she manages to quickly get away from critical and get home to recover soon.

Rated 5 out of 5 by momnan30 from Perfect Wall Hanging For All Ages! I've been looking for the perfect wall hanging for our grandchildren's playroom for our house and I've found it! This canvas map of the United States feels more like fine linen and arrived in perfect condition. The illustrations and lettering are crisp and will make a great learning tool for the little ones. I would recommend it for anyone though, not only as children's room decor, but just a great piece of wall art.

Disney Magic Review
Pros and Cons
Pros: there are plenty of connecting cabins that fit three up to seven; soft drinks at meals and beverage stations are complimentary; for adults, each ship has a piano bar/jazz.
Cons: Mickey's Pool splash play area is available for youngsters who wear swim diapers; although a Disney cruise isn't all Disney all the time, it can get tiring if you aren't really into the atmosphere; there's no library on board.

13 years into the long war, what have we learned, relearned, mastered, forgotten, and retained for future use? What have we learned about ourselves, the nature of our latest enemy, and the role of our nation? What have those who have served learned about their nation, their world, and themselves?
Iraq, Afghanistan, the Islamic State, and the ever changing global national security ecosystem, where are we now, and where are we going?
Our guest for the full hour to discuss this and more will be returning guest John Nagl, LTC US Army (Ret.) D.Phl, using his most recent book Knife Fights: A Memoir of Modern War in Theory and Practice as the starting point for our discussion.
Dr. Nagl is the Ninth Headmaster of The Haverford School. Prior to assuming responsibility for the School in July 2013, he was the inaugural Minerva Research Professor at the U.S. Naval Academy. He was previously the President of the Center for a New American Security. He graduated from the United States Military Academy Class in 1988 and served as an armor officer for 20 years. Dr. Nagl taught at West Point and Georgetown University, and served as a Military Assistant to two Deputy Secretaries of Defense. He earned his Master of the Military Arts and Sciences Degree from the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College and his doctorate from Oxford University as a Rhodes Scholar.
Dr. Nagl is the author of Learning to Eat Soup with a Knife: Counterinsurgency Lessons from Malaya and Vietnam and was on the team that produced the U.S. Army/Marine Corps Counterinsurgency Field Manual.

Today marks the 239th Birthday of the United States Marine Corps. In remembering the day when Captain Samuel Nicholas walked into a Philadelphia bar, looking for the "bravest men" of that city, Marines all over the world will hear the Birthday Message first circulated by Major General John Lejeune in 1921. Lejeune's name is far more than just the name of another military base; he and his career are legend in the Marine Corps. He rose through the ranks, serving all over the world. When he reached Europe at the United States entry into The Great War, Black Jack Pershing recognized his leadership and gave the "Marines' Marine" command of the whole of the 2nd Army Division. He became the 13th Commandant of the Corps after the war and to this day is known as the "the greatest of all Leathernecks."
Yet it almost never happened. Today a discussion of military talent management has come to life, something that happens on a fairly regular cycle in American military history. Almost 125 years ago, the future of a young Midshipman Lejeune was at the whim of a bureaucracy that cared very little for his personal interests or where he and his peers thought his talents might lay.
The System
In 1890 Midshipman John Lejeune, known among his friends by his nickname "Gabe," and his Naval Academy roommate Ed Beach returned to Annapolis after spending two years at sea. In those days Midshipmen completed the course of instruction at the Academy but then had to serve in the Fleet for two years before they were commissioned. At sea they learned the basics of life and leadership aboard ship and began earning their qualifications and standing the bridge watches that would serve as the foundations of their careers.
The two young men also returned to the banks of the Severn River unsure that they would even receive a commission. There were a finite number of officer billets in the Navy and Marine Corps. Because promotion was seniority based, not every Midshipman could receive a commission unless there were enough officers who retired. If enough officers left the service everyone would move up the seniority lists and spots would open up at the bottom for the new Ensigns and Second Lieutenants.
Lejeune had wanted to be a United States Marine since he entered prep school at LSU. He finished at Annapolis in the top of his class and assumed that his standing would give him the ability to select the service of his choice. Returning to Annapolis Lejeune discovered that he had made the cut to receive a commission. But he also learned that the Academic Board, which was responsible for making service assignment recommendations, had assigned him to become an engineer in the Navy. His grades in the engineering courses were the best in his class.
Begging the Bureau
Lejeune decided to go to Washington to make his case to the Bureau of Navigation. His roommate Ed Beach agreed to go along with him to provide moral support and later related the story in his memoir. They were able to get a meeting scheduled with Commodore F.M. Ramsey, who led the Bureau and knew of the two young men because his previous position was Superintendent at the Academy.
The two Midshipmen arrived in Washington and Lejeune overcame an attack of nerves and went to the meeting with Beach at his side. He explained to the head of the Bureau that he had always wanted to be a Marine, and that because of how hard he worked and his class standing his preferences should count for something. Ramsey was the final decision maker and would approve the recommendations of the Academic Board. He was the only man who could change Lejeune's fate. He refused. The Navy needed good engineers and he agreed with the Academy's recommendation. The only way he would even consider changing his mind was if the Commandant of the Marine Corps requested Lejeune by name.
There was a glimmer of hope, but Lejeune didn't put much stock in it. He led Beach toward the Commandant's office in order to try to see him. They actually found Commandant McCawley (improperly called Remy by Beach in his recounting of the story) at a quiet moment in the office and were able to see him. However, he refused Lejeune's entreaty to make a "by name request" for him to commission as a Second Lieutenant. The Commandant told him that the Corps would take whomever they were assigned and make no special deals.
A Desperate Ploy
Gabe had one last idea. He dragged Beach back toward Ramsey's office at the Bureau. They were able to maneuver themselves into another audience, but Ramsey again refused to change his mind. Likely frustrated, he repeated that if the Commandant personally asked for Lejeune, then he could become a Marine. In the last moment of the brief meeting Lejeune asked his former Superintendent why? Why wouldn't he allow him to become a Marine?
"Because, Mr. Lejeune, I am well aware of your splendid and promising mentality. Frankly, you have altogether too much brains to be lost in the Marine Corps!"
With that, Lejeune rushed out the office and headed back for the Commandant's spaces at a run. Beach struggled to keep up, wondering what the hell was going on. But Lejeune had a new confidence about him. The two Midshipmen burst back into the Commandant's office and interrupted a meeting with a group of officers on the headquarters staff. Before they could be reprimanded and removed from the room Lejeune shouted out:
"Commodore Ramsey says that the reason he will not recommend me to be a second lieutenant is that I have altogether too much brains for the Marine Corps!"
Ed Beach wrote "Lejeune won, then and there. The Marine Corps went into action," and the request for Gabe to become a Marine was cut and sent to the Bureau of Navigation. The history books show there was still more maneuvering to be done, including meetings with Senator Russell Gibson and the intervention of the Secretary of the Navy. John Lejeune was commissioned as a Second Lieutenant instead of an Ensign. The rest, as they say, is history.
Another Year, Facing the Future
For more than two centuries the Marine Corps, and the rest of our armed forces, have been facing the challenges of talent management and administrative efficiency right alongside the combat stories that we read about in most of our history books. The so-called "needs of the service," bureaucratic infighting, and service rivalry have a long tradition in how our military service members are selected, promoted, and mentored. But the story of Gabe Lejeune's quest to become a United States Marine reminds us that sometimes the service is wrong, and sometimes we have to figure out our own "innovative" ways to work the system.
So Happy Birthday Marines. And to all the men and women in uniform who want to follow in Gabe Lejeune's footsteps, by working both inside and outside the lifelines, to take their career into their own hands: Hoorah. Keep up the good fight.

o Rising unemployment among veterans
o Long wait times for government positions
o Salary cuts
o Shifting regional focus from Middle East to small wars, Africa, Asia, Russia, etc.
o An educational pipeline mismatched to the government job market
o Need for a wider on ramp and off ramp between public and private career options
o Contracts are being steered to small businesses who lack the depth of expertise and the infrastructure to meet government requirements
o Companies are trying to scale up to meet government demands while slimming down on brick and mortar costs (through 1099 independent contractor hires)
o Failing to meet quotas for hiring small businesses
o Eager to harness a fee-for-service model to manage costs and eliminate overhead
o Need cross pollination of public and private work experience for the future of publicprivate partnerships to keep pace with innovation
o The tool will be similar to other freelance marketplaces currently available such as oDesk- Elance, Guru, Freelancer, Fiverr, and others. However, this marketplace will be tailored to the US national security sector which has many special legal and professional requirements.
o The marketplace will help both small and large businesses scale to manage indirect labor costs, meet contractual government requirements, and also, broadly, give the government the ability to tap a global market of talent for emergent needs. The government is always looking for a "bench" of talent without having to carry the huge overhead of unused experts.
o This also gives unemployed veterans including wounded warriors a way to serve as consultant from home, as part time support for important work.

DEF Innovation Competition: Better Financial Planning for Service Members

Thesis: Creating a catalyst for military members that drives them to engage in proper wealth management strategies early in their careers will result in increased career satisfaction and hence higher retention and recruiting rates.
Our military has a problem; members are not comfortable creating and executing personalized investment plans that can help them create long term wealth.
Often our members rely on too little information to make potentially life-altering decisions. If the government can find a way to unlock this wasted potential, the results could be significant for its members. The question we need to ask ourselves is why isn't this happening without intervention?
We submit that the answer can be traced to three facts:
- The financial services industry is incentivized to be confusing, resulting in less sophisticated users not investing, over/underinvesting and/or investing without a holistic plan.
- The financial industry's professional advice fee structures (typically 1% of assets being managed) are too costly for most peoples' financial needs and are set up to cut out lower net worth families, thereby exacerbating point 1.
- The government has only attempted to engage this issue from the retirement account (TSP) perspective, not the holistic strategy perspective.
The idea that a person can create value through very long term investing in a broad market based portfolio that reflect an individual's personal situation and risk tolerance is well known, however, this fact does not seem to equate to this strategy being well implemented. Why?
We believe the disconnect results from two factors.
- People tend to give up because of the perceived execution complexities.
- People take a segmented view on their portfolios and accept the simplicity of cookie cutter investment strategies (target date retirement funds) that result in under or over exposed positions. The misunderstood exposure results from these strategies' attempts to control costs by relying on bucketing dissimilar individuals based solely on retirement time horizon.
The fact is the investment world is simply too complex for the average person to feel confident that the decisions they are making are based on a complete understanding of the financial tools they are employing. The financial costs of misallocating short, medium and long term funds based on miscalculated or misunderstood short, medium, and long term cash flow requirements results in forced selling and emotional investing, which destroy enormous amounts of wealth accumulation potential.
So how can we help create the cost effective catalyst that gets people over the execution hump and provides individualized portfolio strategies without asking our members to become trained financial professionals?
We believe the answer lies in merging education and execution services via virtual meeting technology with trusted, proven financial institutional partnerships. We will create a process which will allow us to walk individuals through the setup and initial execution stages of their investment plan using a fiduciary relationship standard that gets them going down the correct wealth management path. We'll couple that with robust financial planning software that allows them to easily track goals, sets reminder, and provides easily understood instructions when it's time to make adjustments. By getting our people confidently through the uncomfortable stages where many give up, we'll add enormous potential value to our members' and the military.

The problem: "America doesn't know its military and the United States military doesn't know America"
-Adm. Mike Mullen, former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff
The American people have a fundamental misunderstanding of the military, and an unrealistic perception of the threats facing our nation because the voices of veterans, and others with real-world "boots on the ground" experience are underrepresented in the media. The mission of Blue Force Tracker is to fix that.
The solution: In the military there is a tool called "blue force tracking," which depicts with icons on a satellite image of the battlespace where every U.S. military unit is positioned. We want to give the American people something similar. Our intent is to help close the growing civilian-military divide by giving our audience an unbiased, unfiltered and realistic account of what the military does and the world in which it operates.
The mission of Blue Force Tracker is to report on and analyze issues related to U.S. national security, foreign affairs and veterans issues from a team of journalists with backgrounds in the military, intelligence services or diplomatic corps, as well as those who have unique first-hand knowledge of foreign regions where U.S. national interests are at stake. We aim to reach our audience with an innovative smartphone app and website, which matches the news consumption patterns of our target demographic—veterans of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and active duty military personnel.
Most of this target demographic is part of the millennial generation, who prefer accessing their news through mobile devices and web-based platforms. Media consumption is moving increasingly toward mobile platforms, and we want to capitalize on this trend. But we also aim to counter the parallel trend of decayed journalism standards.
Just because readers access their news on mobile devices doesn't mean that there isn't still a need, and an audience, for quality journalism. So, while we have put a lot of work into designing an innovative, userfriendly portal through which our audience can access our product, we also realize that quality content is the No. 1 way to grow an invested and loyal audience. To do that we leverage the unique, real-world experiences of our writers to educate Americans about the threats facing our country and provide a realistic account of the challenges facing the military—both abroad and in the transition back to civilian life.
Additionally, as our armed forces transition out of more than a decade of sustained combat operations, we need to hear from veterans and their families about their needs. The transition to civilian life is often a difficult one, and we need to hear that story from the people who are living it. Finally, Blue Force Tracker is a push back against the decline in the standards of worldwide journalism. We believe in well-written, profound, original content that educates the reader and has a societal benefit. We believe that quality journalism is just as important to the survival of a democracy as the armies guarding its borders.
But all these lofty goals cannot be accomplished unless we place our stories, and the unique opinions and analysis of our writers into the palms of the people who matter. So our overall challenge is developing content that breaks the mold while constantly evolving and experimenting with ways to deliver that content in a way that best matches the lifestyles and habits of our audience.
DEF Innovation Competition: Building a DoD Outpost in Silicon Valley

Software is increasingly becoming the defining mechanism by which the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marine Corps achieve tactical, operational, and strategic decision dominance. Previously the Department of Defense had achieved this ability through industry.
As software takes on increasingly prominent roles in the Department of Defense, we will need to establish closer relations with the industry that builds it, much like the Department of Defense built long-standing ties to the industrial base during the pre-War, inter-War, and post-War periods of the early 20th century. These close links will ensure that the DOD retains the ability to rapidly integrate cutting edge digital technologies into our operations, as well as influence their development at all stages.
One high-impact, low cost way to advance this goal is to establish a small joint detachment of hand-picked DOD personnel to operate primarily in Silicon Valley that would act as an intellectual "long-range reconnaissance squad".
This entity would consist of approximately 10 personnel nominated by a small group of senior officers and civilians (plus 1 support and 1 General or Flag Officer), stationed in the greater San Francisco Bay Area.
Their mission would be to help integrate the defense and software industries by achieving the following tasks:
a. Ensure continuity of action before, during, and after senior officer and civilian visits with entities in the non-Defense technology sector. Achieve this by acting as travel agent for senior officials before they depart (coordinating visits with local technology companies), local guide upon arrival, note-taker and action officer while engaged on the ground, and execution agent upon the senior's departure.
b. Identify early-stage ventures with potential DOD applicability and connect them with appropriate resources to utilize their technology for DOD purposes. Interface with DOD and service-centric early-stage and midstage venture capital firms, and liaison with entities such as DARPA, IARPA, US Army REF, CNO's Rapid Innovation Cell, and OSD RTTO.
c. Educate students, entrepreneurs, academics, and venture capitalists on DOD challenges and process with an eye towards changing attitudes towards the DOD. This would include conducting "presence missions" at regular events like SXSW, TECHCRUNCH DISRUPT, and even Burning Man.
My proposed first step is to send an exploratory detachment of 3-5 officers out to Silicon Valley for a one-month site survey mission that would result in a full proposal white-paper, to be submitted to the Joint Chiefs of Staff within 90 days of their return. Costs for such a survey are on the order of $6,000 per person, for one month.

The USS Ingraham (FFG-61) just completed her final successful sea and anchor detail as she transited in from the Pacific Ocean, through the Strait of Juan de Fuca, returning to her homeport in Everett, Washington. After being greeted with homecoming fanfare, she will prepare for a much less exciting event, her decommissioning ceremony. On November 12th, the flag will be lowered for the last time and in January she will be struck from the battleforce inventory.
The Ingraham is one of the very last Oliver Hazard Perry class frigates remaining in the fleet. These ships were known for their steadfast performance, executing critical missions around the globe. Much like Ingraham's last deployment to the waters of Central America, these ships have been stalwarts in the U.S. anti-drug efforts. Many are now lamenting the loss of this versatile class of ship, declaring that missions will go unfulfilled once the class has completely decommissioned next year. Demands are growing louder for a 'next generation surface combatant' to replace the frigates, bringing more firepower, survivability and offensive capability than the current littoral combat ships have to offer.
Yet we must be careful not to be too nostalgic when reviewing the capabilities of the frigates and demanding a better armed new surface combatant to fill their void. Certainly, the Navy needs a next generation surface combatant to fill the gaps that the workhorse guided missile destroyers cannot cover alone – there is simply no debating that our destroyer fleet is over-stretched. But, when it comes to covering the missions being carried out by frigates, we have ships that can perform at the same or higher levels – we just need to work on incorporating them.
Though it's been a while, I distinctly recall hours spent memorizing 'Ships and Aircraft' as part of the standard Naval Academy plebe professional knowledge requirements. Frigates were easy…there wasn't a lot to memorize in terms of armament. Especially since the removal of the Mk13 'one-armed bandit' missile launcher. The nickname we learned was 'missile sponge,' due to the lack of significant offensive and defensive weaponry. Even the Mk75 Oto Melara gun onboard could only be fired when the ship presented a stern aspect to the target due to firing cut-outs. The CRU/DES advocates would joke that frigates could only fire the sole remaining offensive weapon, a mere 3-inch gun, while running away. Aviators quipped that the only real weapon onboard was the embarked LAMPS helicopter.
But it didn't matter. Though I opted for the CRU/DES world, plenty of classmates went to frigates, where they became exceptional ship-handlers and learned how to conduct critical maritime security missions by thwarting drug-runners off our coasts and in the waters to the south, learning from the Coast Guard Law Enforcement Detachments (LEDETs) that often embarked. They pulled into ports around the globe with shallow draft requirements, to the envy of those of us on cruisers at the time. They operated with the nascent coastal navies of partners around the world and didn't tower over their counter-parts in terms of size or weaponry, making for more successful engagements.
These roles can all be filled exceptionally well by our newest generation of ships – the littoral combat ships, and even innovative platforms like Austal's Joint High Speed Vessel. While the LCS is not a perfect ship – far from it, but that's been covered rather extensively in the press – it can easily fill the niche role recently occupied by frigates. The speed, versatility and shallow draft of LCS make it well suited to coastal patrol missions and working with partnership navies. The Joint High Speed Vessel is an even more innovative platform, and the USNS Spearhead (JHSV-1) has demonstrated its worth on its maiden deployment this year. The MSC-run ship has operated in three different Fleet AORs, conducting missions with numerous partner nations and US Navy assets, proving its exceptional capabilities.
Maritime security missions will continue to be a critical aspect of the Navy's mission – just as they have for the past 239 years. Worth noting, however, is that most maritime security missions do not require high-end Aegis ships like the destroyers commonly filling the tasks today. It may be reassuring to have destroyers tasked to anti-piracy missions off the Horn of Africa (or, in the case of the Maersk Alabama incident, an entire Amphibious Readiness Group), but it isn't necessary. Instead, platforms like the LCS and JHSV are well-suited to conduct low end missions like countering piracy, illicit trafficking and weapons proliferation and can do so at a much lower cost than sending a Strike Group or a couple of destroyers. The security situation we will face demands a robust, well-trained maritime security force. Our CRU/DES platforms should be reserved for missions requiring their exceptional weapons and radar systems. With the projected build of thirty-two LCS and ten JHSV, these ships are well-poised to perform vital maritime security roles that the frigates will no longer be around to fulfill. There is no dispute that maritime security is – and will continue to be – a core mission, but we already have the right ships to ensure success while being cost-efficient.
We must be careful not to embellish the past and demand that the frigates' replacements have significant offensive and defensive capabilities. We need to be realistic when examining the missions needing to be fulfilled and let the void left by the frigates be filled by the newer, more innovative ships that are well-suited to the missions. The next generation surface combatant can be better utilized elsewhere.
Where do senior uniformed leaders draw the line between acknowledging the primacy of civilian leadership to make policy, and maintaining enough distance from the politics to retain their independence of the politics and the politicians?
Is there a point where someone can pass from being a "good soldier" to simply becoming a useful tool of ambitious politicians.
Our guest this Sunday to discuss this and more will be J.D. Gordon, CDR USN (Ret.) We will be using his latest article, "Obama's top military advisers: 'Useful idiots' or good military officers?" as a starting off point before broadening the discussion.
J. D. Gordon was a career Navy public affairs officer with 20 years of active duty service, and is the former Defense Department spokesman for the Western Hemisphere in the Office of the Secretary of Defense, serving under both Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and Secretary Robert Gates from 2005 to 2009.
Gordon also served as the Vice President, Communications and Chief Foreign Policy and National Security Adviser to former Republican Presidential Candidate Herman Cain's 2012 campaign. During the 2010 Congressional campaign cycle, Gordon arranged speaking events for former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin.
Recently, Gordon has also been a Senior Fellow and Communications Adviser to numerous think tanks and foundations, including Atlas Economic Research Foundation, Center for a Secure Free Society, Americas Forum, Atlantic Bridge, Center for Security Policy, Let Freedom Ring and the Liberty and; Freedom Foundation.
Gordon, a columnist to Fox News and The Washington Times since 2010, has regularly appeared as a national security and foreign policy commentator in television and radio outlets in English and Spanish languages.

Remember, that's 5pm Sunday EST, after you've adjusted your clocks.
We like to benchmark successful civilian enterprises, and we like to emphasize that the best training is a technical training. Are those things in conflict?
The STEM bias towards officer education is long documented, defended, and argued – but on balance the pro-STEM argument holds the high ground in our Navy. Good people can argue both sides, but it is clear that the Mahanian ideal of the intellectual training of an officer has been out of favor for a very long time.
Is this technical bias simply a habit born or archaic assumptions towards intellectual development as out of touch with the needs of the 21st Century as Mad Men is toward gender roles in the workplace? Are the greatest challenges in our wardrooms, staffs, and intellectual debates 85% technical in nature? Are the challenges our nation and our military are facing that threaten our national security best addressed by people who made it through thermodynamics and mumble DiffyQ in their sleep?
Why would some of the most successful technical civilian organizations value a liberal arts education? Those with an extreme pro-STEM bias (CNO, I'm blogg'n to you) should take some times to digest what Elizabeth Segran over at FastCompany recently wrote on the topic,
So how exactly do the humanities translate into positive results for tech companies? Steve Yi, CEO of web advertising platform MediaAlpha, says that the liberal arts train students to thrive in subjectivity and ambiguity, a necessary skill in the tech world where few things are black and white. "In the dynamic environment of the technology sector, there is not typically one right answer when you make decisions," he says. "There are just different shades of how correct you might be," he says.
Yi says his interdisciplinary degree in East Asian Studies at Harvard taught him to see every issue from multiple perspectives: in college, he studied Asian literature in one class, then Asian politics or economics in the next. "It's awfully similar to viewing our organization and our marketplace from different points of view, quickly shifting gears from sales to technology to marketing," he says. "I need to synthesize these perspectives to decide where we need to go as a company."Danielle Sheer, a vice president at Carbonite, a cloud backup service, feels similarly. She studied existential philosophy at George Washington University, which sets her apart from her technically trained colleagues. She tells me that her academic background gives her an edge at a company where employees are trained to assume there is always a correct solution. "I don't believe there is one answer for anything," she tells me. "That makes me a very unusual member of the team. I always consider a plethora of different options and outcomes in every situation."
Look again at what the critical thinking skills a well rounded education gave Yi and Sheer, and ask yourself – are these skills we value and need?
If so, why do we actively discourage them?
