An Post, Ireland's national postage service, has issued a stamp to commemorate the centenary of the Irish Volunteer Force.
The 60c stamp features a group of Irish Volunteers from Waterford by A.H. Poole Studio Photographers, and was shared by the National Library of Ireland.
In the six years of their short existence the Irish Volunteer Force helped shape the course of Irish history and left behind a legacy that lives on to this day. The Irish Volunteers were formed to defend the application of the Home Rule Bill to the whole of Ireland.
However, with the outbreak of World War I, the implementation of Home Rule was deferred. This led to a split in the Irish Volunteers. The majority formed the National Volunteers and went to Europe to help Britain in its war effort, believing this was the best way of achieving Home Rule.
The remaining Irish Volunteers, led by Eoin MacNeill stayed in Ireland. It now contained many Irish Republican Brotherhood members who were intent on striking against Britain while it was distracted by the war. MacNeill opposed a rebellion, but was tricked into supporting their plans. The rising took place at Easter 1916, but was a failure. In the aftermath, the Irish Volunteers were forced underground where they reorganized. In the War of Independence which began in 1919, the Irish Volunteers became known as the Irish Republican Army.

CDR Process Could Be Enhanced
HEHS-94-212R: Published: Jul 29, 1994. Publicly Released: Jul 29, 1994.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-4800
Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed the Social Security Administration's (SSA) new process for conducting continuing disability reviews (CDR). GAO found that: (1) SSA could reliably base its decisions on when to conduct full medical examinations on beneficiary self-reported data in combination with other key SSA information; (2) SSA has taken steps to assess the reliability of its self-reported data and plans to improve the use of computerized beneficiary data to better predict medical improvement and benefit terminations; (3) SSA believes that the mailer process has enabled it to make the CDR process more efficient and cost-effective; (4) the mailer process is substantially less costly than the full medical CDR process; (5) SSA has not completed the number of CDR required by law; (6) SSA needs to increase the number of mailers it sends to Disability Insurance (DI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) beneficiaries and adjust its priorities for determining which beneficiaries should receive mailers; (7) as SSA gains experience with the mailer process and improves its ability to accurately identify beneficiaries showing medical improvement, it should do more full medical CDR on those beneficiaries who need them; and (8) SSA could save taxpayers significant amounts each year and preserve the program's integrity by removing those beneficiaries who most likely have improved or are no longer disabled.

RECIPE: Don't want Easter dinner to get too far away. . .
I read through all the ham dinner sides. They all sound wonderful, and I certainly won't wait until I serve a ham to try them.
I wondered why no one posted this super-easy favorite:
1-2 bunches fresh asparagus
Good Seasons dry Italian dressing mix w/ these changes:
No water
Use red wine vinegar
Use EVOO
Add honey mustard to taste
Add minced garlic
After washing and breaking asparagus, arrange spears on a large plate in wagon-wheel fashion. Drizzle dressing over asparagus. Microwave for 3 minutes on high, more or less, depending in your oven and desired crispness.
3 questions:
1. How much red wine vinegar?
2. What is EVOO? How much EVOO?
3. I am guessing that the Good seasons dry italian dressing is mixed with the red wine vinegar and the EVOO? along with the honey mustard and minced garlic, and then sprinkled on the asparagus?
Apologies for vagueness. I guess I should've said "to taste" for all the ingredients. I totally winged it according to my own sweet/sour preference. I used a Good Seasons bottle to put ALL ingredients in, shook it up, and drizzled it on the asparagus.

Cleveland, Mississippi schools, justice department to argue desegregation case
OXFORD — A federal judge will hear arguments Dec. 11 in Oxford on proposals to desegregate two schools in the Cleveland School District.
In May, the school district filed a proposal with the federal court to desegregate the East Side High School and D.M. Smith Middle School.
The school system wanted to introduce magnet programs at both schools to help attract white students from Cleveland High School and Margaret Green Jr. High School.
Magnet schools have a specific theme or mission that drives their curriculum, such as fine arts or science. Magnet schools still must be racially balanced.
In September, the Department of Justice objected to the plan. It claims the district's proposal would "not integrate East Side and D.M. Smith as a whole, but ... create insular magnet programs in each school that meet specified demographic targets," U.S. Atty. Felicia C. Adams wrote in the objection.
U.S. Dist. Judge Glen H. Davidson will hear arguments in Oxford.
The government wants Davidson to order the school district to devise a new plan that "ensures East Side and D.M. Smith will be fully integrated by the beginning of the 2013-2014 school year."
The desegregation case dates back to 1965, when plaintiffs sued the Bolivar County school system, including Cleveland, to end white-only and black-only schools.
The school system has been under the federal courts oversight ever since.
In 1989, the U.S. Department of Justice alleged that the Cleveland School District was still segregated.
In 1992, the district and government agreed that a magnet school program should be implemented at the junior high level to eliminate the "continuing racial identifiability of both Margaret Green Junior High and Eastwood Junior High (D.M. Smith)."
In 1995, the district was ordered to submit a plan to establish a high school level magnet program.
The government has been conducting a periodic review of the school system since 2006.
In 2011, the school district petitioned the court to remove it from federal oversight.

Scary Monsters and Stinky Fruit: The New Blender Open Movie Project
Are you an artist or a 3D specialist? If so you can apply for a job at Blender. The project will begin work on its latest open source movie in September. The film title: Durian.
With a June 10 application deadline and previous Blender experience required, anyone interested should contact Ton Roosendaal for one of the 4 to 6 jobs available. Those that make the team will receive travel expenses, housing in Amsterdam, (shared apartment with own room), and a compensation fee that is modest but more than enough to cover normal living costs.
Following Elephant and Big Buck Bunny, Durian (aka "stinky fruit" because of its pungent odor) will be the third open source film created with Blender. The fantasy plot will involve scary monsters and a female lead. The project is financed from pre-sales of DVDs and donations.

1998 Ford Contour SVT 4dr Sedan
this car is sweet. I make excuses to
go drive my car now. I worked for BMW
and thhis car has performance that
compares with the 325 and better than
a 318. I highly reccomend this car.
Read the full review
This car gave me 185,228 miles of
devoted service before passing into the
automotive afterworld. Every mile was
a pure pleasure, whether on the road or
on the track. Great for long trips,
aggressive driving, racing, and the
daily commute. I could not ask for
anything more of a car.
Access is great, even if the rear is a
little tight. My 90+ year old grandma
always commented how easy the car was
to enter/exit.

I bought this 1998 SVT Contuor in 2003
after always wanting one. This car does
not dissapoint. It is certainly a
drivers car. Not the fastest at drags,
but it will outdo most anything when it
comes to finesse and balance. I am
impressed there are no rattles or
shakes at 60K miles. Surprisingly
solid. I would recommend buying one
used over many of the new sports sedans
of today.

This car is awesome, i have been that
person who has been bad talking ford
for over five years now. But once i
saw this car i fell in love. For the
price one can't go wrong. The
interior has every creature comfort.
Everything feels solid, and the
performance is out of this world, very
un FORD like.

I purchased this car from car max. It
shuts itself off when I am driving it.
Ford won't fix it or even admit that it
has a problem. I even wrote to Ford
twice and they blew me off. The check
engine light comes on all the time for
no reason. I just ignore it, now. It
does NOT come on when the car shuts
itself off. The Ford dealer implied
that since I am female, I don't know
how to drive standard shift cars. I
have been driving standard shift for 30
years. I can't think of one good thing
to say about this car. I'm going back
to Honda
Read the full review
I bought this car new in 1998 and
still can't find anything new I like
better. It is the best shifting car
I've ever driven. The engine and
exhaust make noises under throttle
that have you smiling ear to ear.I
will mention the car's one flaw, the
differential is not strong enough to
take the horsepower and torque. I had
to replace mine and I went with an
aftermarket torsion type differential
and the car is even more fun to drive.
I recommend this as a fun and
practical everyday car. There is
nothing like just taking it for a good
drive on a twisty road.

I had owned my SVT Contour (1998
coreador red) for nearly 4 years,
having bought it used in 1999. Sadly,
the car went up in flames about a week
ago. In a fire possibly related to
leaking power steering fluid, this
thing lit up like a roman candle;
fortunately no one was hurt. Anyway,
with the exception of the above noted
issue, these cars are fairly reliable,
and of course are blessed with amazing

Title says it all
Read the full review
In reading other reviews of the
Contour, it becomes evident that the
owners of higher level Contours (SVT
and SE/SE sport) are far more pleased
with their cars. For me, the SVT was an
obvious choice due to its ground
effects with wire mesh, standard
leather seats, strictly 5-speed
transmission, and last but definitely
not least, the amazing sound that this
car lets out. Sometimes I find myself
turning the radio off to listen to my
exhaust. Once the car hits 3500 RPM's,
you can hear and feel the power that
the Duratec 2.5 High Output produces.
Read the full review
Forget what you think you know about
the Ford Contour. The Contour SVT
rivals BMW 3 Series in handling, and I
personally have blown a few away
through the twisty curves. An
understated outward appearance makes it
even more fun!

Cancer survivor blessed with life
WORTHINGTON — Darin Rehnelt looks at every day as though it is a gift. He's generous with his smiles and laughter, quick to share a joke and finds humor in some of the greatest struggles life has dealt him.
It took an almost terminal bout with cancer 16 years ago for him to improve upon what had already been a jovial outlook on life.

Comments about 'Search resumes for 2 men in Midvale triple homicide'
One victim described as good father with bad habits

Omar Jarman is my uncle thru marriage. Everything my Uncle Steve said, I back
up 100%. He was a really good man who had demons he just could not beat. I
never knew that side of him, but the side I did know was the one that made me
feel like part of the family after I married his niece. I'm going to miss
I also want to say I have no anger towards Mr. Fresques. He needs to be brought to justice, but I'm sad for his downward path as well and hope he is treaded fairly by a court of law. I just wish both him and my uncle had made better choices in life so that they could both have avoided this tragedy.
R.I.P. Uncle Omar.

Menomonee Falls — The Menomonee Falls Village Board last week unanimously voted to not have a primary election Feb. 18 for Seats No. 1 and No. 2, opting instead to put all the candidates on the April 1 ballot.
The board chose to only have an April election in an effort to save money.
There are three seats open on the Village Board. Michael McDonald, Katie Kress and Chris Rolenc are in the running for Seat No. 1. This seat is currently held by Sharon Ellis, who did not file for re-election.
Kevel Anderson, Timothy Newman and Chris Smolik are running for Seat No. 2. This seat is currently vacant as it was held by James Jeskewitz, who died in November. Joseph Helm was the only person to file for Seat No. 3, which currently belongs to Dennis Farrell. Farrell did not file candidacy.
The cost of a primary election was estimated to be $30,000, Menomonee Falls Village Manager Mark Fitzgerald said. The board, he said, decided they don't want to pay that cost, and instead opted to put everyone's name on the April 1 ballot.
The Falls board had three days after the nomination papers were due to decide if they are going to have a primary. The deadline to file was 5 p.m. Jan. 7.

"Small card with soft colors—perfect. Text easy to customize and to place. Wanted an 'I Wish for You...' Card for baby shower, and this fit the bill perfectly."
"I absolutely love these cards--my very favorite thank you cards to use. The high paper quality, contemporary design, and accent color (I chose orange), along with my name (only placed my first name after the words "thank you" on the card) make it special. I love the self-addressed envelopes that match it (I think it's such a nice touch to have personalized envelopes as well). I ordered both the cards and envelopes a second time, and will continue to order more as I run out. Great value!"
"I used this little card as an insert with the invitation. I needed to add directions (quite extensive) on one side & the other side was used for where to mail "parent tips" & "baby wishes". Customer service was outstanding on helping me do this! I highly recommend tiny prints!"
"I love the quality of the paper on this card. I also love that it gets my daughter involved in writing the thank you cards. I actually got mine printed without a name so that it could be even more personalized and so that my daughter can practice writing her name even more. I highly recommend this cute card!"
"I love this Thank You card! A simple thank you, a name and small photo....all done so perfectly! Another great product from Tiny Prints!! My favorite place to shop for all my special occasions!!!"

John Hollenhorst, Deseret News
YELLOW JACKET, Colo. — If you're worried about your family being wiped out in an apocalyptic disaster — and if you have a few million dollars to spare — Jerry McMullin has a deal for you.
McMullin is selling his house that he says was built to survive the worst that Mother Nature or humankind can dish out.
"It was built to withstand a very large pressure wave from a nuclear attack," said McMullin, who has drawn international attention because of his offer to sell the home for $11.5 million. It was quickly dubbed the "Doomsday House."
"I think someone else named it that," he said. "To me, it's just where I hang and where I work."
It might be a good time to buy: McMullin just slashed his asking price to a mere $5.9 million.
His highly secure dream house sits in the Four Corners area halfway between Monticello, Utah, and Cortez, Colo. McMullin said he moved to the rural community of Yellow Jacket because he was worried about natural disasters and terrorism.
"This is out of harm's way," he said, "because we're 300 miles from any major city."
McMullin's residence doesn't look like a house from the outside. It's a concrete, warehouse-style building sitting at the foot of a huge microwave tower. AT&T built the structures in 1964, he said, at a time when Cold War tensions were running high.
McMullin bought it shortly after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks and remodeled the interior to create a highly secure luxury home.
As he toured his house with a reporter, McMullin pointed with pride to his theater room.
"We designed it so that if there are disasters or whatever, when the rest of the world is melting, we can watch 'Leave It to Beaver' with our own electricity and our own projection equipment," he said.
Such comments, often delivered with a chuckle, suggest that McMullin doesn't take himself too seriously. But he definitely takes a serious view of world events.
McMullin said he is not particularly worried about nuclear war, but the potential for unrest in the cities is one of his major concerns. Earthquakes and hurricanes, too, are important considerations as McMullin scans the threat horizon.
McMullin said he is most concerned about — and best prepared for — terrorist attacks using chemical or biological weapons. He said the house can take such assaults handily. Occupants could survive inside for years, he said, without outside power or supplies.
"All that stuff's been taken care of," McMullin said. "It all goes into emergency lockdown, and (the house would be) sealed with big rubber and steel seals."
The house has filtration systems for its air and water supplies, as well as uninterruptible power largely generated by solar panels, he said.
McMullin apparently comes by his worries professionally: He used to run a firm that advised government agencies, schools and companies on security issues.
His general conversation is packed with ideas that suggest either a deeply paranoid mindset or, as he portrays it, a set of legitimate worries stoked by his company's access to inside information.
"A lot of times we would know things that were getting ready to go down before they went down," McMullin said, "only because we had our finger on the pulse."
He acknowledges a religious component to his analysis of world events.
"I also take a prophetic biblical approach," McMullin said. "And I throw that, along with what I see in intel, and I mix it together. And that's how I make my decisions and have for years."

Critical Infrastructure Protection:
Further Efforts Needed to Integrate Planning for and Response to Disruptions on Converged Voice and Data Networks
GAO-08-607: Published: Jun 26, 2008. Publicly Released: Jun 26, 2008.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:

(202) 512-3000
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Technological advances have led to an increasing convergence of previously separate networks used to transmit voice and data communications. While the benefits of this convergence are enormous, such interconnectivity also poses significant challenges to our nation's ability to respond to major disruptions. Two operations centers--managed by the Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) National Communications System and National Cyber Security Division--plan for and monitor disruptions on voice and data networks. In September 2007, a DHS expert task force made three recommendations toward establishing an integrated operations center that the department agreed to adopt. To determine the status of efforts to establish an integrated center, GAO reviewed documentation, interviewed relevant DHS and private sector officials, and reviewed laws and policies to identify DHS's responsibilities in addressing convergence.
DHS has taken the first of three steps toward integrating its centers that are responsible for planning for, monitoring, and responding to disruptions to the communications infrastructure, including voice and data networks, and the security of data and applications that use these networks. Specifically, in November 2007, it moved the operations center for communications infrastructure (NCC Watch) to office space adjacent to the center for data and applications (US-CERT). This close proximity allows the approximately 41 coordination center and 95 readiness team analysts to, among other things, readily collaborate on planned and ongoing activities. In addition, the centers have jointly acquired common software tools to identify and share physical, telecommunications, and cyber information related to performing their missions. For example, the centers use one of the tools to develop a joint "morning report" specifying their respective network security issues and problems, which is used by the analysts in coordinating responses to any resulting disruptions. While DHS has completed the first integration step, it has yet to implement the remaining two steps. Specifically, although called for in the task force's recommendations, the department has not organizationally merged the two centers or invited key private sector critical infrastructure officials to participate in the planning, monitoring, and other activities of the proposed joint operations center. A key factor contributing to DHS's lack of progress in implementing the latter two steps is that completing the integration has not been a top DHS priority. Instead, DHS officials stated that their efforts have been focused on other initiatives, most notably the President's recently announced cyber initiative, which is a federal governmentwide effort to manage the risks associated with the Internet's nonsecure external connections. Nevertheless, DHS officials stated that they are in the process of drafting a strategic plan to provide overall direction for the activities of the National Communications System and the National Cyber Security Division. However, the plan is in draft and has been so since mid-2007. In addition, DHS officials could not provide a date for when it would be finalized. Consequently, the department does not have a strategic plan or related guidance that provides overall direction in this area and has not developed specific tasks and milestones for achieving the two remaining integration steps. Until DHS completes the integration of the two centers, it risks being unable to efficiently plan for and respond to disruptions to communications infrastructure and the data and applications that travel on this infrastructure, increasing the probability that communications will be unavailable or limited in times of need.
Recommendations for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: In lieu of completing and using the strategic plan to outline the department's overall direction for the activities of the National Communications System (NCS) and the National Cyber Security Division (NCSD), including plans to integrate these organizations' watch centers, DHS did so in the department's September 2010 National Cyber Incident Response Plan. Specifically, in the plan, DHS (1)provides the rationale and purpose for merging NCS's national coordination center and NCSD's readiness team to form the National Cybersecurity and Communications Integration Center (NCCIC) and (2) describes NCCIC's strategic approach, including specifying assigned organizational roles and responsibilities and actions planned and underway to prepare for, respond to, and coordinate recovery from a cyber incident.
Recommendation: The Secretary of Homeland Security should direct the Assistant Secretary for Cyber Security and Communications to establish milestones for completing the development and implementation of the strategic plan for the National Cyber Security Division and the National Communications System.
Agency Affected: Department of Homeland Security
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: In response, DHS merged the national coordination center and readiness team to form an entity called the National Cybersecurity and Communications Integration Center (NCCIC). The new center, which DHS stood up in October 2009, functions as a coordinated watch and warning center that serves to improve national efforts to address threats and incidents affecting the nation's critical information technology and cyber infrastructure. In doing this, NCCIC is to integrate information from all partners (e.g. public and private, state and federal) in both the cyber and communications arenas to create and share common knowledge and coordinate response activities. To accomplish this latter task, DHS has key private sector officials from various critical infrastructure sectors participate in center operations.
Recommendation: The Secretary of Homeland Security should direct the Assistant Secretary for Cyber Security and Communications to define specific tasks and associated milestones for establishing the integrated operations center through merging National Coordination Center Watch and U.S. Computer Emergency Readiness Team and inviting and engaging key private sector critical infrastructure officials from additional sectors to participate in the operations of the new integrated center.
