The second edition describes a three-step workflow to help users create photorealistic renderings.
COLUMBIA, Md., – Nemetschek Vectorworks has published an updated training guide for users of Vectorworks software. Remarkable Renderworks: An Introduction to the Basics, Second Edition helps readers develop renderings of their computer-modeled designs, but it also lets them gain proficiency in the Renderworks application. Powered by the CINEMA 4D render engine, Renderworks is a useful rendering plug-in for Vectorworks software. The tutorial's author is an architect and experienced Vectorworks user Daniel Jansenson, who also wrote the book's first edition.
Through an exercised-based format, Remarkable Renderworks readers will learn how easy it is to create renderings simply by setting lighting controls and adding map textures and backgrounds – all from within one single application.
Jansenson says the new tutorial describes a three-step workflow that, "if followed systematically, can use Renderworks' powerful, photorealistic capabilities to create beautiful, even artistic images easily and consistently." The new book also describes methods to use light reflecting from the sky to illuminate a scene, supplemented by the new Heliodon tool that replicates the sun's light.
"The latest version of Renderworks has greatly increased the quality and realism of renderings, in a way that is easily accessible to the average user," says Jansenson. "The important thing to remember is that a step-by-step approach can often quickly yield highly pleasing images, especially when the lighting and rendering tools are carefully adjusted, all of which is now more easily possible than ever before."
Remarkable Renderworks, Second Edition is part of Nemetschek Vectorworks' self-paced training options. The guide retails for $75 USD, and is designed for people who like to learn on their own and at their own pace. For more information or to purchase this tutorial, please visit www.nemetschek.net/training/guides.php.

Nonalcoholic steatosis is a liver pathology characterized by fat accumulation and severe metabolic alterations involving early mitochondrial impairment and late hepatocyte cell death. However, mitochondrial dysfunction mechanisms remain elusive. Using four models of nonalcoholic steatosis, i.e., livers from patients with fatty liver disease, ob/ob mice, mice fed a high-fat diet, and in vitro models of lipotoxicity, we show that outer mitochondrial membrane permeability is altered and identified a posttranslational modification of voltage-dependent anion channel (VDAC), a membrane channel and NADH oxidase, as a cause of early mitochondrial dysfunction. Thus, in nonalcoholic steatosis VDAC exhibits reduced threonine phosphorylation, which increases the influx of water and calcium into mitochondria, sensitizes the organelle to matrix swelling, depolarization, and cytochrome c release without inducing cell death. This also amplifies VDAC enzymatic and channel activities regulation by calcium and modifies its interaction with proteic partners. Moreover, lipid accumulation triggers a rapid lack of VDAC phosphorylation by glycogen synthase kinase 3 (GSK3). Pharmacological and genetic manipulations proved GSK3 to be responsible for VDAC phosphorylation in normal cells. Notably, VDAC phosphorylation level correlated with steatosis severity in patients. Conclusion: VDAC acts as an early sensor of lipid toxicity and its GSK3-mediated phosphorylation status controls outer mitochondrial membrane permeabilization in hepatosteatosis. (HEPATOLOGY 2013)

The notion that China's currency, the renminbi (RMB), is on a long-term path of appreciation appears in question after its sharp decline since February. We think that the setback is only temporary—and that the currency will resume its climb in a few months.
Is Asian Turbulence a Win for China?
While this week's sell-off in Asian currency and bond markets does not, as yet, amount to a crisis in our view, it is obviously cause for concern. At this stage, we think two outcomes are likely: one is that central banks and supranational funding agencies will work together to avert a full-blown crisis; the other is that China will emerge with its power and prestige as a regional financial powerhouse considerably enhanced. (more…)
China Comes Closer to Convergence
An announcement in late July by the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) may prove to be a milestone we look back on as the trigger for the next step in the evolution of the offshore renminbi bond market. Effectively, the People's Bank of China (PBOC) has underwritten liquidity in the offshore renminbi. (more…)
China's Uncertainties Won't Stop Renminbi's Rise
Recent data releases and the transition to new political leadership have created some uncertainty about China's short-term economic outlook. While positive growth surprises are unlikely in 2013, we still think nothing can stop the long-term appreciation of China's currency, the renminbi (RMB). (more…)
Five Reasons Why We Think the Renminbi is Still a Buy
The renminbi (RMB) has strengthened significantly in recent years. We don't think it will continue to appreciate at the same pace, and in the very short term we may see two-way volatility in the exchange rate. But we are still positive on the currency, especially in the medium term. Here are five reasons why. (more…)
Stronger Renminbi Is Key to Chinese Rebalancing
China's recent move to widen the renminbi's trading band is unlikely to impact the near-term path of the currency, but we believe it represents another important step forward in the country's financial liberalization. Below, my colleague Anthony Chan explains how a more flexible—and stronger—currency is a vital component of policymakers' efforts to rebalance China's export-dependent economy. (more…)
The Chinese Currency's Great Leap Forward
China is set to overtake the US as the world's largest economy in less than a decade, but its currency, the renminbi, still accounts for just a tiny fraction of global trade settlement. While there's a long way to go before it's viable as a global reserve currency, we think that the renminbi will challenge the US dollar's dominance in the Asia-Pacific region sooner than many expect. (more…)
China's Currency: Still Heading Up
The prospect of currency gains has long been a key attraction for investors seeking exposure to Chinese assets. But this week, The People's Bank of China said China's currency, the renminbi, was now close to its "equilibrium value." We think the currency's appreciation is far from over, as my colleague Anthony Chan explains below.

Best way to fill nail holes in oak desk that I'm refinishing?
I've stripped off the old finish and need to fill several nail holes that someone put in this otherwise nice old oak teacher's desk. I've tested a couple of different wood filler brands but when I put a walnut colored stain on a test piece of oak, the filler turns darker than the surrounding wood. What is the best way to make these holes disappear? Thanks for your help...
Look for a product called Stain Putty, made by the Bix Company. I get mine at HD or Ace Hardware. It is usually in the stain/filler area. It comes in a 6 oz. plastic tub, white with a brown top. It is a powder. To make putty, simply mix thepowder with stain being used on the wood. The putty will be a bit darker when wet, but lightens when dry.
You add the filler after the wood is stained, let dry and recheck. Sometimes it shrinks just a bit. Add to level and apply finish.
I prefer a diffrent approach. I'm not a fan of the wood fillers etc.. Often they are to pourus and don't handle the stain well.
Stain your piece and then get a "colored crayon" you can get basic colors from the local paint store or depot type of store. Once you get the correct match, rub the crayon into he hole, once you get it flush to the surface use a cotton t-shirt to flatten it out. The friction will soften the crayon and smooth it out.
Do it a little touch up after with your stain and a tiny brush, paint in some grain so it doesn't look like a filled hole.
I hope this helps.
Filled holes should ALWAYS be darker, not lighter. There is, however, another method that really hides the filled nailed holes. And that is to power sand a piece of wood that is the same species of wood you are filling. Take the sawdust and mix it with Duco cement and fill the holes. It really hides the holes very well once it's sanded and stained.
Very often folks get too much glue in the sawdust mix---which prevents stain from working---and makes filler lighter.
I've been filling nail holes with Stain Putty for a long time. I usually call the client to find the filled holes when the job is done. They might find one or two if they look very, very closely. I am sitting at a desk I built with oak ply and oak bullnosed edge banding. It has a bookcase upper section. I stained it with MinWax Golden Oak stain, then mixed a batch of Stain Putty with the same stain---out of the same can---and filled the 16 gauge nail holes---yes, that size is too big, but it was all I had.
That was five years ago---I look at the bookcase upright----8" from my face---and have to get closer to see the filled holes. They are literally not visible from two feet away. Purty good match.
Again I ask WHY ?
Norm will tell ya the sky is yellow if your paying him to.
Why would I want my nail holes to stand out and be obvious.
I can make almost any wood touch up disapear. It's my job and I'm good at it.
I respectfully 100% disagree with Norm and Co.about making the nail holes darker.
Besides I'm almost never using a nail on an exterior surface.
It has been my experience that if a really good match---like with the Stain Putty---is not possible---like trying the color sticks/sawdust and glue/---making the filler lighter is less eye catching. I did several hundred feet of pine crown molding, stained dark walnut. The home owner specificially mentioned he wanted no conditioner---he wanted the color differences from the stain to show. And with even good stain grade pine, there was a LOT of difference.
It was in a room with 7' ceilings and a soffit for HVAC in the center the length of the room that was 10" below the ceiling.
I used a 16 gauge nailer and had a lot of nail holes to fill. I made up two batches of Stain Putty----one with the dark walnut stain and another with pecan stain. The dark walnut Stain Putty was a perfect match for the darker areas---but would have stood out like a sore thumb on the lighter areas. The pecan was a bit lighter than the light areas and was a fdair match---the HO could not see the filled holes----and he is a professional painter---has owned his own company for 30 years.
Here is the way I would do it...
Finish the desk, leaving the nail holes.
Get some filler for pre-finshed hardwood floors (organic based) - two colors: one lighter and one darker. Mix it to a close match to your stained piece, but slightly darker. Fill the holes, they should be close to invisible.
Thanks everyone for your comments.
After my initial attempt with the wood filler, I tried "Stain Putty", mixed with the stain that I used for the desk (dark brown). It matched very well the darkest grain area of the oak but I felt it was still too dark to fill the holes à some of them are about a 3/16" diameter.
The guy at my local wood/hardware store recommended a product called "Color Putty". From what I understand, it doesn't dry hard enough to sand but will accept a clear finish coat. It comes in several colors which can be mixed. My holes are all on the sides of the desk so I thought this would work OK. I bought two of the jars that match closely the dark and light of the oak. At this point I've got my desk stained with two coats of clear finish on it. Any opinions on using "Color Putty"?
Thanks again for your help...
If the holes are in an area that will not see any real use (sides are a good example) mix up some putty to a good match.
If the holes still stand out you can use markers to add some grain to match the surrounding wood, than apply another coat of clear finish to protect the repair job.
In my shop we make our stains from pigment,so when it comes time to do touch up etc.. I can create the needed color but in a thicker consistancy than the original stain. This will give me a perfect color match as well as the abiltiy to paint in the grain which also helps to hide the nail hole.
Another trick is to get yourself a set of colored pencils,they work great for touch ups.
Remember ,that often your touch up work will need to be done in layers.It's to hard to do all at once. Get the base color,spray a little clear over the area ,let it dry and then apply your next layer of color. repeat the process until you've reached your desired color match.
I'm trying to find a way to fill nail holes in Timbertech PVC decking. I'm laying two shades of gray. Have intricate design which prohibits hidden nailing. Thinking of trying the crayon hint but wondering if it will hold up to outdoor weathering.
When you fill a nail hole, put another nail in the hole, then push a strip of tape down so the nail is sticking up and when you remove the nail you will have a strip of tape with a nail hole. This way you don't have a big messy smear of wood filler that creates a halo of filler impregnagted wood.
You'll see what I mean if you don't do this.

Straight off the semi-successful joint release, The Co-Op, with DJ Envy, New York rapper Red Café is preparing 2008 as his official coming out party. On the first buzz single from his Konvict Muzik debut album, Red is all about his money on Paper Touchin'. Instead of recording just one version of the single, twelve regional versions were mixed, mastered and allowed to officially "touch paper." The possibility for national success can be credited to singer Latif (who recorded each version with different hooks) and producer Zukhan Bey, whose beat has an industrial feel that works in both the clubs and on the streets. Red Café will release The Shakedown sometime in 2008.

High Strangeness
UFO in Bay of Islands?
Peter de Graaf

The Northern Advocate
Mon, 07 Jan 2013 17:34 UTC
Mr Clarke went outside his Te Haumi home about 9.40pm to see if rain was coming. Instead he saw a pair of lights travelling slowly across a clear sky from south to north, starting in the direction of Opua and disappearing some three to five minutes later over the hill towards Russell.
They were travelling slowly enough that Mr Clarke was able to call his wife outside, who was equally gobsmacked.
The lights were bright and while it was hard to judge their height they did not appear to be higher than a regular aircraft.
The lights were not from a plane because there was no sound; nor did he believe it was a satellite, because there were two lights which at one stage moved closer together.
''I don't believe in little green men, and the strongest thing I'd had was a cup of tea. I'm just interested to know what they were,'' he said.
Anyone else who saw something unusual in the sky that night - or can offer an explanation - can email the Advocate at [email protected], phone (09) 4702 875 or leave a post on The Northern Advocate Facebook page.
In early December the Advocate received a flurry of calls about mysterious objects in the night sky. One explanation put forward by the Northland Astronomical Society was that the planet Jupiter was visible at the time and unusually bright, easily outshining the stars.
The object or objects Mr Clarke saw were not planets because they were travelling across the sky.

New Products
SMD power inductors for high temperatures
The new types, which have dimensions of 6.9 x 7.2 x 4.5 mm3, offer rated inductance values ranging from 1 µH to 470 µH. Types are available for rated currents of 0.43 A to 8.9 A, based on a 10 percent drop in initial inductance, and their DC resistance ranges from 9.6 mΩ to 1.42 Ω. Mass production was launched in May 2012.
Power inductors are key components for the power supply circuits of the growing number of electronic control units (ECU) in today's cars. With temperatures that can range from -40 °C to +150 °C the operating conditions in the engine compartment of cars are especially harsh. In order to maintain the high reliability and efficiency of the SMD power inductors over this entire temperature range, TDK used its leading materials technology to develop a new material with excellent heat resistance. As a result the CLF7045-D series is highly suitable for use as choke coils in the DC-DC converters of engine control modules and similar applications. Other application areas include ABS, airbag, and headlight systems.
In addition, an automated process was adopted for the coil windings and connecting lines of the CLF7045-D series, which results in a high-quality baseless, solderless design.

Avoiding chaffe when collecting seeds
pippi21(Z7 Silver Spring, Md.)July 4, 2012
What is the secret to avoiding some chaffe when I collect flower seeds? I have been putting the seeds in a fine strainer but sometimes it is difficult to pick out and avoid getting some in the seeds. I tried a pr. of tweezers but they didn't work so great..
Maybe somebody else has a better and easier idea for this tedious task that they'd like to share.

The all-new seventh-generation Volkswagen Golf hasn't even launched here in the United States, but over in Geneva, we're already getting our first glimpse at the hotter GTI hatchback. The fancy new Mk VII Golf is already off to a healthy start with positive reviews in Europe, and we have no doubt that this next GTI will work hard to regain its title as king of the hot hatches.

My Niece has raised a deer
This is Emily. She was found by my niece's husband on their farm in N VA on their farm abandoned by her mother. My niece raised her first by feeding her formula with a dropper and progressed to a bottle. Emily now is an outside pet and hangs out with other deer on the property. She comes to my niece's house once a day for her bottle. We call her the baba girl (I don't know how to spell that) She is a wonderful gift and a wonderful experience to see, to behold a beautiful creature God has allowed us to befriend. Emily will come up to us and lick our faces. She is so precious. Just wanted to share.
How beautiful, every little detail is beautiful. We literally live with deer in our area too - I can say that now that we have a deer fence around our back where the roses are. But they are all over and last week on my walk, on the long coast road I walked behind a buck with a big rack for some time until I caught up and we walked side by side then he lagged back and walked behind me until I knew his journey would end a little further ahead where where I knew there was a harem waiting for him....and there was.LOL! - that time of the year.
Pauline - Vancouver Island
That is sooooo precious! Not pleasant - but one thing that worries me is that it may pick up ticks that carry lyme disease and expose your niece. Can you throw some flea powder on it just to be safe? :)
It's adorable, what is it about baby animals that make them so cute?! I raised a baby raccoon once, it was just like a pet monkey.
Kate, I thought I'd posted! Ok, truly about the sweetest thing I've EVER seen with that kitty! Thank you, oh my goodness.
Lynnis, I rescued a baby raccoon, too, whose mom had been hit by a car. She saw me checking the garden late the next day and cried for me immediately. After shots and dewormer from an underground vet [it's illegal here to not turn them over for destruction - rabies law] she even rode around on my dog's back, lol :) I miss that terrifying shrieking of her wanting a bottle!

Minnesota lands a point guard as Nate Mason verbally commits
Oct 25, 2013, 9:53 PM EDT
With three of their expected perimeter contributors entering the 2013-14 season being seniors, the Minnesota Golden Gophers were in need of a point guard as head coach Richard Pitino looks to begin a successful run in the Twin Cities. While many held out hope that the program would be able to reel in highly regarded floor general Tyus Jones, the chances of that happening look to be slim (and that's been the case for some time now, with many expecting Jones to be a "package deal" with big man Jahlil Okafor).
Friday afternoon the program received some good news, as 5-foot-10 point guard Nate Mason announced his decision to attend the Big Ten school. Mason is Minnesota's second commitment in the 2014 class, joining power forward Josh Martin.
According to Scout.com Mason picked Minnesota over Virginia and Kansas State. Mason's a native of Georgia, but he currently attends Montrose Christian Academy in Maryland. Last season as a junior at Shiloh HS in Snellville, Ga., Mason helped lead the team to a 23-8 record and his ability to put points on the board has led to some comparing him to former College of Charleston guard Andrew Goudelock.
With Minnesota losing Maverick Ahanmisi, Austin Hollins and FIU transfer Malik Smith at the end of the 2013-14 season, Mason's ability to make things happen will be a welcome addition to the program. And with forward Reid Travis taking his official visit to Minnesota this weekend, Golden Gopher fans are hoping for more good news on the recruiting trail this weekend.
Here are some highlights of Mason in action.

My niece Hana, shown here, represents the fourth generation in my family to sit in the "Spirit of 1776," my grandmother's suffrage campaign wagon. It was a tradition in my family to be photographed in the wagon, and it was also a way of passing the torch of story to the next generation. Few summers passed without my mother gathering up us kids, marching us over to my grandfather's house. He opened the garage door, dragged out grandmother Edna's suffrage campaign wagon, and my mother took our photos. Of course it took me many years to get to the point where I was ready to pass the torch to the next generation, and it takes many forms. In this podcast, I'm being interviewed about my grandmother by Marzia Dessi, a student at Northern New Mexico College, during February 2011. Marzia's interested in our history, the woman's suffrage movement, and how the past relates to young women today. Listen in!

OSTRAVA, Czech Republic (AP) — Tomas Berdych and Radek Stepanek won the doubles for the defending champion Czech Republic to take a 2-1 lead over the Netherlands in the Davis Cup first round on Saturday.
Czechs lead Netherlands 2-1 in Davis Cup
The Czechs defeated Robin Haase and Jean-Julien Rojer 7-5, 1-6, 7-6 (2), 7-6 (4) in almost four hours on an indoor hard court at CEZ Arena to improve to a 15-1 record in the cup doubles.
The Dutch were trailing 2-0 in the fourth set before coming back and saving three break points at 5-5 after Haase double-faulted twice but the home pair converted their second match point in the tiebreaker with Haase sending a volley too long.
"It was the toughest game we have played," Berdych said. "It was extremely hard for us. They were excellent."
It was the first defeat in the cup doubles for Haase and Rojer following four victories.
"We had our chances but our opponents were unbelievable," Stepanek said "We had to fight till the end."
The Czechs, seeking their third straight Davis Cup title, are one win away from the quarterfinals while the Dutch must win both reverse singles on Sunday to reach the quarters for the first time since 2005.
On Sunday, Berdych plays Haase then Stepanek faces Igor Sijsling.

WeightlessNineteen with a nervous stomach and a dry mouth. I keep myself occupied by reading the drink menu over and over until I can taste the alcohol in my mouth. But, no, that's not really alcohol. That's just the acetone on my breath because I haven't eaten all day. Yesterday morning, as I conjured up an image of you based on scant descriptions, I decided that my thighs were too wide for your supposed party boy preferences. That is why I am sitting here dressed in black, stomach growling, reading about a martini that I probably won't even order when you finally arrive. A friend on my right keeps calling me Morticia and I suddenly feel like one of those shabby women at funerals that wear frumpy navy dresses with lace collars. I should probably leave before you see me.

It isn't smiles and potlucks,
It isn't worship in a coffee shop,
Or studying theology at college,
It isn't charity events,
Or traveling the world,
A Christian heart is a broken,
It's a crushed soul and a mourning,
Over sin, over self-hatred, over forgiveness,
It's healing and a heart overflowing,
Feeling suffocated by a grace you can never deserve,
It's a weeping in the night,
Whispered prayers in the dark,
It's a constant falling on your knees,
A constant dying to self,
It's a total surrender,
A complete abandon,
It's insanity and inconceivable,
It's perfection and simple,
It's silence and a still, small voice,
It's joy and shouts from the rooftops,
It's a struggle and a wrestle,
A war of constant battles,
Of your God fighting against sin,
And your sin against God,
It's overcoming your failures,
You only lose if you give up,
It's giving up control and a need to understand,
And knowing you never had control or knowledge at all,
It's not telling
Chapter 1: Ominous SignsShe was dreaming of ravens again. Sometimes they would sit on the branches of a dead tree as it snowed, cawing in sharp, crisp voices that faded upon waking. At other times there would be just one, on top of a human skull. It was a long time since she'd seen a raven, let alone heard its caw. Her mind took her back to her childhood of warm, motherly hands and a proud smile on her father's face. They faded away into nothingness and she was cold, lonely and scared. It made her toss and turn in her bed, but it wasn't enough to wake her up. She was having more and more trouble telling the difference between dreams and memories.Chapter 1: Ominous Signs4 months ago in General Fiction More Like This

As my strength grows weaker by the hour
At midnight blooms a paper flower

Performing the ritual fire dance

That they stood no chance
By dawn the bloom will die
And a single tear I will cry

But I cannot shake this feeling
That, my soul, this is stealing
For none will reach this place

Source: Woodley won't hold out
Despite unhappiness with his current contract, Pittsburgh Steelers Pro Bowl linebacker LaMarr Woodley will show up on time for training camp when players are due to report on Friday, a source told ESPN.com.
AFC North blog
ESPN.com's Jamison Hensley writes about all things AFC North in his division blog.
The Steelers recently decided they will not renegotiate Woodley's deal before the start of the 2010 season. After recording 25 sacks the past two seasons, Woodley will make $550,000 in the final year of his rookie contract.
Pittsburgh traditionally does not negotiate contracts during the season, which means talks are not expected to resume until 2011 when Woodley is due to become a free agent.
If Woodley, 25, has another strong season, keeping him in Pittsburgh could be expensive. Linebacker Elvis Dumervil of the Denver Broncos recently set a new bar for pass rushers by signing a $61.5 million extension that reportedly includes $43.168 million in guarantees.
A franchise tag for Woodley also is a possibility if it remains within the new collective bargaining agreement next season.

Vincent R. Stewart, Lieutenant General, U.S. Marine Corps was promoted into the position of Director of the Defense Intelligence Agency. General Stewart represents the first time we have a true cyber warrior at the helm of the DIA. On February 3, 2015, Lt. General Stewart delivered his first Worldwide Threat Assessment to the Senate Armed Services Committee. So what did our new DIA Cyber Warrior leader have to say about Cyber threats?
By most objective measures, 2014 was not a good year for the Department of Homeland Security. As we enter 2015, I sense there is a slight bit of subjective optimism that, under the leadership of DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson, things are getting better. Here are the opportunities (and potential challenges) for the Department in 2015.
Twelve years ago last week, President Bush signed the act creating the Department of Homeland Security. It came into formal existence on March 1, 2003. Anniversaries are days to reflect on broader issues, and it is a good time to reflect on what has occurred since DHS was created – and what that means for the Department's current and future missions and challenges.

The U.S. federal government's acquisition rules and buying practices have a direct impact upon major segments of the U.S. and global marketplaces. Cybersecurity Executive Order 13636 and Presidential Policy Directive 21 both recognize that the federal acquisition process must be addressed as part of the overall federal strategy for enhancing cybersecurity. It is time to harmonize the cyber acquisition regulations.
Increasing adoption of cyber insurance products and frequent cyber-related initiatives across the insurance and risk world has been incredibly positive. Yet, many companies that are not consumer-facing are struggling with the insurability of their increased exposure. The insurance industry needs to embrace this evolving reality.
The oddly named cyber vulnerability, Heartbleed, is everywhere in the tech news. Even non-tech security types recognize the seriousness of this issue. What is the bumper sticker version of Heartbleed, and what does it teach us? While the Open Source aspects of the Internet yield incredible innovations, they also open up vulnerabilities.
"Balkanization" is a splitting into many opposed factions closely located in one area. It ain't good to be Balkanized, but that is what is happening to the Internet, and there is nothing Washington can do about it. The Obama Administration's move to let go of U.S. government control over the naming rights of Internet sites is being viewed as the latest in a long line of U.S. withdrawals from control of the Internet.
As a new DHS Secretary takes the helm, Security Debrief contributors came together for the First Chris Battle Homeland Security Colloquium. In the spirit of the late Chris Battle's vision for debate and discussion on pressing homeland security matters, contributors weighed a series of important questions about DHS' future.
The House Homeland Security Committee did something yesterday it has not done in the past several years, for anyone: it came out in full force for DHS Secretary Jeh Johnson's maiden appearance before the committee. It was a positive performance by the Secretary, who showed himself adept at answering questions, even as his lawyer's instincts kept him from falling into political traps.
