On Columbus Day… What Can Ellis Island Teach Us About Ebola?
How we treat others matters. Today, banks and schools and government organizations are shut down for Columbus Day—a national holiday that has grown controversial. After all, Christopher Columbus was an important figure in history, but did not treat others well. Today, many are instead encouraging the celebration of Indigenous Peoples Day rather than Columbus Day.
Whether you are observing Indigenous Peoples Day, Columbus Day, a day off, or another Monday, today is different. We mark this day in the middle of an Ebola scare here in the United States, and an Ebola epidemic in Africa.
Ebola is testing our country. It is testing our medical capabilities and the confidence we have in our healthcare system to contain the spread of a deadly and contagious disease. But, it is also testing our values—our compassion and our concern for the dignity of all. It is testing how we treat others.
Dallas, Texas, is where this country's first Ebola patient, Thomas Duncan, was hospitalized. Dallas County Judge Clay Lewis Jenkins was determined to respect the dignity and well-being of Mr. Duncan's family, when Mr. Duncan was diagnosed, when he was treated, and when he died.
While many of us watched with concern and fear for what Mr. Duncan's diagnosis meant for the health of all Americans, Judge Jenkins made it a priority to show Mr. Duncan's family that their dignity mattered. On NBC last week, he said that he intends to see to it that Mr. Duncan's family is treated just like he would want his family to be treated if he were the one in the hospital. He made it clear that he is not throwing caution to the wind, but acknowledging that even while a family is sequestered, they should be treated well and with humanity.
Judge Jenkins is a mensch. He is striving to do right by the public but is finding every possible way to ensure that it doesn't come at the expense of others.
When I consider how I would react in a situation where in order to address the needs of many I may have to cut the liberties of few, I can't say that I would be as determined to consider the dignity of a few. I could only hope that I would, because though it took us some time to get there and though the process is ongoing, ultimately that is what our country was founded upon: the belief that everyone's rights are important and that the rights of a few need to be protected from being trampled over by the majority.
It is also a Jewish value—recognizing that even when it is difficult, it is important to treat everyone the way we would seek to be treated. Perhaps it is these values that have led me to imagine immigration officials taking the temperatures of any person from Africa and being subjected to an intense screening process before entering our country. As I picture this, I remember the many stories of Jewish immigrants who arrived at Ellis Island during the time of a Cholera scare. After traveling hundreds of miles in a crowded steamship, they had to have a "clean bill of health" before being allowed into this country. They could be scrutinized by one doctor after another, subjected to police intimidation, and unfairly treated. As the MyJewishLearning.com article states: "Currency exchange rates and prices of railroad tickets and food were inflated; bribes were demanded; rudeness and cruelty were rampant," until in 1902, when "a new commissioner of immigration instituted drastic reforms, heralded by signs everywhere demanding 'kindness and consideration'."
Now, at JFK we are incorporating Ebola screenings for passengers arriving from West Africa. There is the risk of ostracizing and marginalizing people. While I continue to hope for the safety of everyone in our country, and the world who is faced with the threat of this awful disease, I also hope for dignity. I admire the efforts of people like Judge Jenkins. I hope that screenings and examinations that take place are done in a way that honors the dignity of all people and reflects the highest standards of "kindness and consideration."

Yom Kippur: We Atone; We Are At One
On Yom Kippur, we atone; on Yom Kippur, may we be at one.
From South to North, East to West, Jews will seek forgiveness and re-commit communally to doing better in the year ahead. As an organization, we too re-commit to an even better year ahead. May we always be good partners, always strive to meet the needs of those we serve, and be part of building a better world.
On this Day of Atonement, we wish all who are fasting a fast that is both easy and meaningful. G'mar chatima tovah.

Getting to Know Yom Kippur
Confession: I'm still kind of a Yom Kippur rookie.
Yom Kippur has always been a mystery to me. I am from a household of two Jewish parents, but we were not an observant family. The most we did for the High Holidays was having my grandparents over for dinner. I knew Rosh Hashanah was the Jewish New Year, but I did not understand that there was an entire Jewish calendar, and my parents never even approached the subject of Yom Kippur.
Growing up, I always knew I was Jewish, but I didn't really understand what that meant. I started to learn more about Judaism when I was in college. I sought out the Jewish community and met great friends and also learned a lot about being Jewish. Now, I am living in Jackson, Mississippi, working for a Jewish organization, figuring out my own Jewish observance and traditions—and still trying to figure out Yom Kippur.
Yom Kippur gets a bad rap. We go from indulging in delicious food on Rosh Hashanah to fasting on Yom Kippur—kind of a downer. We go from celebrating to apologizing, from "Happy New Year" to "here's everything we did wrong last year." So this year, I wanted to try to figure out what Yom Kippur really means, but mostly, what it really means to me.
So I took a survey. I went around the office at the ISJL asking my fellow Education and Community Engagement Fellows to explain the point of Yom Kippur. The best answer I got was that it marks a period of transition. Like the secular New Year, people make resolutions and promises about how they will do better in the coming year. However, Yom Kippur is not only about looking forward to a bright future; it is also about reflecting on your past.
We spend 10 days in flux and get to think about big questions like:
- "What could I have done better this past year?"
- "Am I where I want to be in life?"
- "How have I changed during this past year?"
It is a time to check in with yourself, to not only make sure that you are doing what makes you happy, but also that you are doing good in the world.
- When was your last random act of kindness?
- When was the last time you volunteered?
- How are you going to give back in the coming year?
I find the best way to grow as a person is by giving back to the communities that have helped me along my own path. Before taking on this new perspective, I had a hard time understanding a holiday where we were supposed to think about all of the bad things we've done over the year and feel sorry about them. Now, I am excited to think about Yom Kippur as a time for personal reflection. I am going to sit down and make some goals for the next year, but also reflect on all that I learned, accomplished, and struggled with in 5774.
As of now, I've started to think about Yom Kippur like a Yoga class. At the beginning of each class, you set your intention, and I want to go through 5775 intentionally. I will think about what has changed me in the past year, and how that has helped me grow. I will think about how I can contribute to my community on both local and global scales. I will use these reflections to make a plan for how I would like to continue to grow in the future. Maybe this will become my tradition, or maybe my relationship with Yom Kippur will continue to evolve—either way, I'm already starting to understand it a bit better.

Desert days.
... doing that whole, it's terrible, we both know but we won't make a thing of it. I look over to Jed as I'm just pushing my bones around trying to find the meat and he's polishing off his last mouthful. Later in the car he tells me how great the Lunch was. "Are you being sarcastic? Did we eat at different restaurants?" "No, it really was great, the meat was so tender and no fat" "Right, so I just got all the fat!" "I'm glad I know now and not then, I wouldn't have wanted to share it!" ...

... although untethered, they had remained in the one spot because one of their front limbs was tied in a flexed position.
It was such a beautiful setting for breakfast - sitting at the table in the dunes with the rays of the rising sun. Chris was thrilled to get his boiled egg. The camel ride back was also fun (my seat this morning was more comfortable than yesterday) though it did start to get warm ...
Deserts in the Middle of the Mountains

Apparently the left side was the men's bathroom. Anyway this woman kept yelling at me, while everyone (including me just laughed). Uh chill out lady … you need better signs. (I actually did find a sign over the doorway when I walked out, but I failed to see it when I walked in .... Oh ...
One hump or two
... where we picked up the camels is nearly deserted except for three or four hotels.
Many of the hotels that we have stopped at along our travels appear to be under construction or new. In some cases this is a good thing as they have modern bathrooms. I am not sure if this is a sign of the economy or more the increase in tourism.
Anyway, back to camels, we dropped our bags at one of the hotels ...

Problem is making it look like we haven't just thrown a cloth on our ...

More than $87,000 worth of the virtual currency known as Bitcoin was stolen after online bandits penetrated servers belonging to Bitcoinica, prompting its operators to temporarily shutter the trading platform to contain the damage.
Friday's theft came after hackers accessed Bitcoinica's production servers and depleted its online wallet of 18,547 BTC, as individual Bitcoin units are called, company officials said in a blog post published on Friday. It said the heist affected only a small fraction of Bitcoinica's overall bitcoin deposits and that all withdrawal requests will be honored once the platform reopens.

Patrick Cockburn's new book looks at the legacy of recent wars, as well as at how convoluted ongoing conflicts in the Middle East truly are.
Having spent an estimated $1 trillion and having sacrificed the lives of 2,150 soldiers, the US finds itself increasingly consigned to observer status in Afghanistan.
SpeakOut is Truthout's treasure chest for bloggy, quirky, personally reflective, or especially activism-focused pieces. SpeakOut articles represent the perspectives of their authors, and not those of Truthout.
Last time I wrote about things that trouble me in my current home state of Florida, I received some pretty nasty responses. One person emailed that my criticism of some of the laws in the state was an affront to those who have served the U.S in foreign wars (I still don't see how, but never mind) and strongly suggested that I move to Russia or Saudi Arabia. But, eight years after my arrival, I am still here, and at the risk of receiving even more hateful responses, I am again compelled to offer a criticism of some of Florida's latest dandies.
The D.C. Council took a major step to decriminalizing marijuana in the nation's capital today by voting 11-1 in favor of a bill that would eliminate criminal penalties for the possession of one ounce or less of marijuana and treat possession as a civil offense. The D.C. Council takes a final vote on the bill in early March; it is expected to pass and to be signed into law by the mayor. It is viewed by both council members and advocates as a model for other jurisdictions looking to reduce racial disparities in the criminal justice system.
Each February we reflect upon black history and honor prominent black leaders who have made a positive contribution to American history. However, some prominent black leaders are consistently overlooked during this month of black reflection, despite their significant roles in American history. Marcus Garvey (1867-1940) is one such leader who is too often overlooked.
Taking advantage of the Super Bowl hype, Mother Jones magazine just released an article "Offensive Lines: How Bad Is Your NFL Team's Owner?" following up on its earlier "Is Your Team's Owner a Major League Asshole?" While Mother Jones's intention to decry the increasing inequality in contemporary American society is laudable, its attempted shaming of professional team owners as "evil-doers" may be a counterproductive distraction. More importantly, in blaming individuals for society's ills, MoJo loses an opportunity to engage in good journalism.
We denounce the cyanide based mining projects from Certej, Deva-Muncel, Băiţa Crăciunești, Brad, Rovina și Roșia Montană, projects that have destructive effects towards nature and humans and can only start with no regard of legal procedures. Only at Certej, in 16 years of operation 26.448 tons of sodium cyanide and 15.280 tons of copper sulphate would be used. Large-scale cyanide use does not bring prosperity to a community, only death and the impossibility to develop other economic activities. We denounce deeds that reek of corruption, conflict of interests and abuses of Nicolae Stanca, current director at Deva Gold. He has signed, in the name of the Romanian state, the associating documents between Minvest Deva and Gabriel Resources in 1997, then being employed by the controverted businessman Frank Timis.
After President Obama's latest State of the Union address, the media lit up. The most controversial thing he said? Not gun control, we have heard that all before. Not the war. What could have been so controversial that it out shined some of the hottest topics in the media today? Minimum Wage.
Why is this so controversial? Why wouldn't we want to give everyone who makes $7.25 an hour a pay raise to $9.00? The GOP is calling it crazy, but in reality it's not crazy at all. In fact, it makes complete sense from both a moral and a prudential standpoint.
As pro se defendants, we are probably naive about how the U.S. "justice" system works.
We understood from our charges that any alleged trespass must occur on private property.
We further understood that any alleged annoyance, any alleged disturbance, any alleged recklessness, construed as disorderly conduct, must occur on public property.
Squaring that circle, we've been thinking, would surely result in at least one of those charges being dropped.
WASHINGTON, D.C. – A court should overturn the Federal Election Commission's (FEC) dismissal of acomplaint about the secretive political spending group Crossroads Grassroots Political Strategies (GPS), watchdog groups said in a lawsuit filed (PDF) today against the commission in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia.
Barack Obama may as well have delivered his 5th State of the Union address to and for the Superstate Oceania, the fictional empire mired in perpetual war from George Orwell's 1984.
No, Obama did not come directly out and tell us that war is peace, freedom is slavery and ignorance is strength so much as he embodied those ideas in a nuanced, measured performance that inspired the political pundits like Chris Matthews to wax poetic like a Theatre critic praising an aging stage actor who was able to find the old magic one last time.

1st World Library, Jan 1, 2005 - Fiction - 300 pages
Purchase one of 1st World Library's Classic Books and help support our free internet library of downloadable eBooks. Visit us online at www.1stWorldLibrary.ORG - - No one who had ever seen Catherine Morland in her infancy would have supposed her born to be an heroine. Her situation in life, the character of her father and mother, her own person and disposition, were all equally against her. Her father was a clergyman, without being neglected, or poor, and a very respec-table man, though his name was Richard - and he had never been handsome. He had a considerable indepen-dence besides two good livings - and he was not in the least addicted to locking up his daughters. Her mother was a woman of useful plain sense, with a good temper, and, what is more remarkable, with a good constitution. She had three sons before Catherine was born; and instead of dying in bringing the latter into the world, as anybody might expect, she still lived on - lived to have six children more - to see them growing up around her, and to enjoy excellent health herself. A family of ten children will be always called a fine family, where there are heads and arms and legs enough for the number; but the Morlands had little other right to the word, for they were in general very plain, and Catherine, for many years of her life, as plain as any. She had a thin awkward figure, a sallow skin without colour, dark lank hair, and strong features - so much for her person; and not less unpropitious for heroism seemed her mind.

Any ideas?

ARLINGTON – Patrick Mahomes rolled left, and then came back to his right.
The Texas Tech freshman quarterback tried desperately to find anyone open, backpeddled and then was taken down hard to the turf – a short throw away from completing a stunning comeback against Baylor.
However, Mahomes couldn't find anyone open in the end zone on the two-point conversion attempt and the Red Raiders lost to the Bears 48-46 at AT&T Stadium on Saturday.
FREEPORT, Bahamas – Texas Tech redshirt sophomore Ivonne CookTaylor scored 12 points and three more Lady Raiders tacked on 10 points apiece, but Purdue shot 48 percent from the field and forced 23 turnovers to take a 69-53 win over Tech on Friday in the opening round at the Junkanoo Jam.
The Dallas Mornings News' Kate Hairpoulos broke down Baylor and Texas Tech and predicted a 56-21 score, yes in favor of Baylor. Her four keys to the game were
1. Can't miss Oakman.
2. Baylor defines game control
3. Flags and turnovers
4. At AT&T to stay.
This is what she had to say on flags and turnovers: Texas Tech and Baylor are the two most penalized teams in the Big 12. The Red Raiders have 101 penalties for 945 yards in 11 games, an average of 85.9 yards per game.
So, few think Texas Tech can hang with Baylor and the Bears need to really lay it on thick to increase thier chances of making the playoff. The Linemakers (The Sporting News), ad this to say about the game:
This week the ESPN Big 12 blog picked out Tevin Madison as a key player to watch, saying:
"Texas Tech CB Tevin Madison: The true freshman has quietly had a really solid debut season (six pass breakups, 49 tackles, one INT) and will be put to the test by Baylor in a week when top corner Justis Nelson (concussion) is questionable and might also have to play some safety. No matter which Bears receivers he gets matched up against, Madison and fellow rookie Nigel Bethel II have to hold their own. No question Bryce Petty will try to pick on them."

My D5100 is not being recognized by the View software (latest update) installed on my PC. I've only had it a month or so, and it initially would sync and transfer photos but suddenly won't transfer files and the camera does not show up in the source device window in the update portion of the utility. Any suggestions on troubleshooting this would be helpful.Thanks!
More than likely there's something wrong in your USB subsystem, so that the software doesn't even know that the camera is there. The first thing I'd do is reboot. The second thing is to look carefully in the system viewer to see if the camera is even in the device tree. If it is, then it's time to go looking at the software. I seriously doubt the problem is in the camera, unless there's something physically wrong with the cable.And by the way, most of us use USB card readers, rather than plugging the camera itself in.

The term "legal separation" has no court-enforceable meaning in Massachusetts. You could file for a "Complaint for Separate Support", which allows for the basic terms of a divorce but you remain married to your spouse. Many parties do this if there are religious reasons for not going through a divorce as one example. A divorce will completely sever the relationship between you and your ex-spouse, and will allow for the allocation of your assets, etc. While there is no way to predict what...

Generally, chapater 208 s. 30 does NOT apply to vacations and, in fact, most agreements specifically authorize allowing people to go on vacations with their chidlren so long as an itinerary is given and the non-traveling parent has a way to contact the children. You should advise her of this in writing presuming that language is in your agreement and, if not, you should contact an attorney to get some assistance because you may need to go to court quickly for permission.

I would agree with the other answers you have received, but you can also ask the Court for a pretrial advance distribution of the assets in your estate if you have enough of them. Generally, a Court will allow you to do this if the other side has spent money without permission (before the divorce) or if you will need money for attorney's fees or experts. However, you should definitely consult with an attorney before taking these steps.

This is a question that is very fact and judge dependent. The judge has the authority to preserve the marital assets so if you are not paying the mortgage on your home and are facing foreclosure, you could be required to sell the house. However, many judges take the position that the marital home should not be sold on the basis of a motion unless there is a danger to the house being lost in foreclosure or there is a risk of damage to the marital estate. You should definitely hire an attorney...

I completely agree with Attorney Lewis' answer. You should bring any documentation you have regarding the value of the piano and how you obtained it. Also, the length of your marriage may help you finally prove ownership in the end. You may want to consult with an attorney to assist you through the mediation process.

Presuming that you filed a paternity complaint (or a complaint for custody/support/visitation) in the Probate & Family Court, the Court does not have jurisdiction to deal with the division of property under the paternity statutes. Had you been married, the Court would have the authority to deal with the division of your assets, but in a paternity case, there is no statutory authority to do so. You will need to file a Petition to Partition. This can be done either in the Land Court or in the...

Realistically, you should be able to produce the copies of the screen shots to make sure that the payments have been received. The DOR system will not allow you to make voluntary payments for child related expenses as you are suggesting. Therefore, a screen shot showing the money was sent via electronic transfer to his account may be the best you can get. Be sure to bring everything with you to your contempt hearing and be sure all of the numbers match up.

Yes, you do still have to pay child support. The only way to avoid paying child support at all is to surrender your parental rights, which has wide ranging effects. If you have surrendered your legal custody rights, you still have an obligation to support your child. You should definitely contact an attorney to assist you in this matter.

I would agree completely with the prior response. Unless there is some danger to your child, a court will not likely put any restrictions on who you are with or any contact between your child and any new partner. Although this is fact specific, I would strongly suggest pushing back on this and see what happens; there is nothing to be gained by giving in at this point. You may want to consider a limitation for overnight visits for a short period; however, this is very fact specific. I would...

The law in Massachusetts changed on this in March so that any change - no matter how small - is sufficient to trigger a change in child support if the amount of child support would change. Bonus money should count but only if, as, and when it is received. You should definitely contact an attorney to explain your rights to you.

WNY hospitality industry targets Canadian visitors
- James Fink
- Buffalo Business First Reporter- Buffalo Business First
- Email | Twitter
Visit Buffalo Niagara is looking to the Great White North to bring more green into the regional economy.
The former Buffalo Niagara Convention & Visitors Bureau is using a hefty portion of its 2012 sales and marketing budget to attract more Canadians across the Niagara River to local hotels and destinations.
Canadians are already a significant part of the region's visitor base, but local tourism officials think that can grow. Canadians account for approximately 37 percent of outbound passengers at Buffalo Niagara International Airport and a whopping 70 percent at Niagara Falls International Airport.
On most weekends, Canadians represent nearly 50 percent of shoppers at Walden Galleria and 60 percent at Fashion Outlets of Niagara Falls.
The Buffalo Sabres said Canadian fans constitute 15 percent of the season ticket base. Ditto for the Buffalo Bills, who shifted one home game each season to Toronto's Rogers Centre.
Strong statistics, but they could get stronger with a marketing push in Southern Ontario, said Dottie Gallagher-Cohen, president and CEO of Visit Buffalo Niagara.
"We've already gotten some real traction from the Canadian market, but look for us to hit Canada and hit it very hard. It is that important of a market to us," she said.
As part of the strategy, representatives of her agency and some key stakeholders are attending tourism-based trade shows in Toronto to promote Western New York. The Canadian push has been greenlighted by the agency's board of directors and will be implemented in coming months.
"Our approach will be very tactical," she said.
Tapping the Southern Ontario marketplace is nothing new. Over the years, a number of marketing campaigns have targeted Southern Ontario with varying degrees of success.
"This needs to be more permanent," Gallagher-Cohen said.
Visit Buffalo Niagara's new strategy comes at a time when information compiled by the Binational Economic and Tourism Alliance shows that local cross-border travel is down. There are a number of reasons – chief among them is the lack of regional marketing initiatives in both countries.
Arlene White, alliance executive director, said it's a good idea to aggressively promote the region in Southern Ontario.
"I believe – and we've got three studies to back it up – that one of the reasons less Americans are going into Canada and vice versa is the lack of local marketing," she said.
According to White, strong marketing efforts by the Buffalo Sabres and the visitors bureau helped with last winter's successful World Juniors hockey competition and championship series. It attracted more than 330,000 fans to the 31 games played at Niagara University's Dwyer Arena or First Niagara Center. Sixty-five percent were from Canada, mostly Southern Ontario.
"That was nice, but you can't have these individual 'voices in the wilderness' initiatives," she said. "You really need a more comprehensive program."
Gary Praetzel agrees. He is dean of NU's College of Hospitality and Tourism Management and chairman of Visit Buffalo Niagara. The timing is right to be more aggressive in marketing Western New York to Southern Ontario, he said.
Praetzel pointed to the strong Canadian dollar, which is at its strongest level in more than a decade. Also, concerns have subsided about border-crossing documentation, as required by the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative.
With the National Trust for Historic Preservation annual conference starting in Buffalo Oct. 19, he said the region is poised to market itself as a cultural destination to Canadians rather than just a place to shop or watch Sabres and Bills games.
"Re-educating Canadians about who we are and what we have to offer is a smart strategy," Praetzel said. "We don't have to sell them on shopping, the Bills and Sabres; they already know about that. But do they know about the Albright-Knox Art Gallery or the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra? Canada is the perfect market to tap, and it's right on our doorstep."
Drew Cerza, meanwhile, is founder of the National Buffalo Chicken Wing Festival and marketing committee chair of Visit Buffalo Niagara. He said experience tells him that Canadians will come to Buffalo if they are enticed.
"They will come for more than just sports and shopping, but they have to know what's going on here," Cerza said. "The thing about Buffalo is that if we market it correctly, we can have that lucrative Southern Ontario market to ourselves."
Mary Roberts, executive director of Martin House Restoration Corp., said she is ready to welcome more Canadian visitors to the Central Park landmark Martin House campus. Canadians account for as much as 12 percent of the 25,000 annual visitors to the Frank Lloyd Wright-designed complex. A new marketing campaign could boost that number, she said.
"We are the largest metropolitan area to Canada. We should be constantly marketing ourselves to there," Roberts said. "It doesn't matter what your business is – visitors from Toronto and Southern Ontario are absolutely critical."

League of Women Voters national president to speak in Memphis
Elisabeth MacNamara, national president of the League of Women Voters, will speak about threats to voting rights at an open meeting of the organization's local chapter on Monday.
The discussion was prompted by the Supreme Court's decision in June to eliminate sections of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, according to a statement released by the organization Wednesday.
"Within just 24 hours of the Supreme Court's ruling against the VRA, five states moved forward with discriminatory voting measures, including states in which the League of Women Voters has previously succeeded in blocking voter restrictions," wrote spokeswoman Judith Davis.
The meeting is set for 6 p.m. Monday at the Benjamin L. Hooks Central Library and is open to the public.

The General Services Administration launched a centralized, uniform guide to help agencies wring additional savings from their expanding portfolios of mobile services and devices.
GSA quietly posted a new Mobile Lifecycle & Expense Management (ML&EM) resource online on March 31. The site provides resources federal agencies can use in their search for wireless solutions, including a list of service providers that meet ML&EM requirements, various pathways through governmentwide acquisition contracts and other strategically valuable information.
In an April 17 blog post, Mary Davie, assistant commissioner of GSA's Office of Integrated Technology Services, said the solutions gathered under the ML&EM program can reduce agency mobile costs up to 25 percent initially and another 8 percent to 10 percent as agencies hone their mobile use. The larger the agency's mobile footprint, the larger the efficiencies and cost savings the solutions can bring, she added.
The nuts and bolts of GSA's new mobile purchasing agreement
GSA unveils plan to help agencies manage mobile
GSA has long taken this approach for both wireline and mobile assets with its Telecommunications Expense Management Services, and Jon Johnson, program manager of GSA's Managed Mobility Program, told FCW that ML&EM is intended to do the same in a more mobile-centric way. The new initiative complements the agency's growing stable of wireless management and procurement options, which include the Managed Mobility Program and the blanket purchase agreements issued a year ago under the Federal Strategic Sourcing Initiative.
Johnson said ML&EM can help agencies decide on the appropriate wireless services plan, optimize existing rates, identify inventory and billing errors, improve security and manage agency-issued devices.
He added that agencies also have the choice of using the tools before or after they buy services from providers.

dead roots on orchids
I just bought a bunch of really cheap orchids on Ebay. The roots on most were shriveled up. With misting , will they eventually regrow roots? I have grown very few orchids so I don't know their habits.
I wrote the vendor who hasn't responded just yet. The foliage looks fine
Hi Cj
They are mostly seedling cattleyas. The mature vanda roots look better. The roots looked like the plants have been sitting in a box for months.
Hi Pamela. Uh oh- yes they were from the Royal Orchid Club with exorbitant shipping charges.
I made a Royal Orchid Club purchase earlier this year of a mixed bag of Catts, a Dendrobium & 2 Phals hybrids, all bare root. After opening them "mostly dessicated looking very nearly dead root" would have been more apt a description. It can be tougher to tell what is a non-viable root on the Catts but the Phals were self explanatory even for me. I had read an earlier post about bare root plants here on this forum and soaked them all for a good hour in clean H2O and KLN before potting up. In spite of the horrifying initial appearance I should hasten to add that from March until now they have all survived and a few are doing slightly better than survival. This includes one particular Catt hybrid that arrived with very dessicated leaves & PB's that I very nearly pulled the plug on during the first few weeks of life support. As of today it looks generally bad and nearly leafless but has re-established it's root system and there or 2 new leads starting on the rhizome. More a credit to how amazing these plants are than any skill on my end. Virtually all the plants had to be nursed along while they re-established root systems. It was toughest on the Phals. Unfortunately I was foolishly optimistic and purchased a bellinia hybrid that remains in a sulk, but has at least grown some roots. The Den has re-established roots but has yet to send up any new growth.
I resorted to a sphag & bag type hospital for the worst off. The Catts generally proved to be very resilient & tough and I probably unwittingly timed my purchase so as to catch them as new growth was starting so they were going to be growing new roots anyway. It seems to me that along with the recent bout of Royal Orchid Club bashing there was an earlier thread I remember that talked about timing of purchases that are bare root, and it may have been in reference to this vendor as well.
In any event, I put a great deal more time and energy into these plants to keep them going than I have from any other plant purchases. I did get one other Cym hybrid from a different vendor that arrived bare root and it is struggling as well. Maybe it is just me and a general lack of skill with bare root plants, but in the future if I buy any bare root plants you can bet it will be timed to match the start of new growth on the plant. In my situation given the size of my typical order (smallish) I cannot say that I see much of an advantage to bare root purchases given my experience even factoring in the savings on shipping costs.
If you are inclined toward seedlings and looking for bargains you will be hard pressed to find as good a deal on happy thriving potted seedlings than those available from Ellen at Olympic Orchids. I have several shelves of plants from Olympic - and an order on the way. While most of her plants are established seedlings I have a couple of Miltonopsis that arrived in spike. I placed several orders very early this year and she watches the weather very closely refusing to ship if there was any risk of cold damage during the plants travels. During one particularly long and very cold period here and across the Midwest she ended up boarding a fair order for me and sent me a little note that 2 plants has started new leaves during the wait. I have not tried the Orchid finders service yet (there was yet another thread here about Olympic Orchids and Orchid finders a while ago which is how I became hooked) Then there is the freebies added to new orders and orders of over 5 plants. Since I just placed an order I can tell you that between species and hybrids there are better than 20 Cats to choose from priced b/w 4 & 10 bucks. I ordered 8 plants for 54.00 without shipping. (http://orchidfinders.com/) I have not been back to Royal Orchid club since.
If you are unfamiliar with the sphag and bag rescue strategy you can use the search function for Sphag and Bag, or try this link for the basics. Also there was a great thread recently on Phal rehabbing using a slightly different strategy.
Here is a link that might be useful: FAQ on Rotted Roots
I knew it! Don't buy from Royal Orchid Club. The cattleya I bought was dry and desiccated. It took forever for them to deliver it. It looked like it was packed in a dry box for a month. The plant was completely limp. I soaked it in water, but it never plumped up. All the roots were apparently dead. I sphag/bagged it but it ended up rotting. The plant was suppose to be blooming size, but it was at least two years from that. What a waste of time and money. Please read other horror stories on the Forum that specifically talks about Royal Orchid Club.
same thing here. Receive 4 tiny dry plants and they are almost died. Packed in 7.5"x5"x0.75" box. take 3 week for them to ship. and same as "All the roots were apparently dead. ". I am very very disappoint.

I want to create a loop that changes the image icon of a JButton with BufferedImages stored in an ArrayList. When I try, it simply sets it to the last image, while skipping all the rest. The relevant code is this:
private void playButtonActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {
for (int x = 0; x < myPhotos.size(); x++) {
try {
} catch (InterruptedException ex) {
Logger.getLogger(GUI.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
myPhotos is an array list of buffered images.
icon is an ImageIcon
displayButton is a JButton.
I'm thinking that the problem could be that a JButton's icon can only be set once, and I'm hoping that one of you is clever enough to know how to get around this.
