Brooke Burke: naked mom
Dancing with the Stars hottie dishes
Season 12 of DWTS starts up March 21. The cast will be revealed during the Feb. 28 episode of The Bachelor on ABC.
Brooke Burke believes she can do it all - and by the looks of it, she can: Juggle a career and four kids, that is. The onetime Maxim cover girl had two (Neriah, 10 and Sierra, 8) with her first husband, plastic surgeon Garth Fisher, and two with former Baywatch star David Charvet (Rain, 3 and Shaya, 2). In her book, The Naked Mom (New American Library), the Dancing with the Stars co-host, 39, lets us in on some of her top family secrets.
Why did you decide to write the book?
I do a blog for Modern Mom and one of the questions that came to me often was about balance. I realized it isn't about balance. That's virtually impossible. It's about taking it day by day. I wanted to share my experiences, my challenges, what I've learned, what I've screwed up and to do it in a very honest and vulnerable way. Maybe it can inspire other moms to give themselves a break and know that it's never going to be perfect.
What's your biggest challenge with raising four kids?
Probably sleep deprivation. I remember having two and three was easy. But four rocked my world. I feel like I haven't slept for a decade and that's really hard on a woman. It affects everything, your memory, your sex drive, your energy, your metabolism. It's a demon.
You say your relationship with your fiancé is good.
David's great. We're figuring out that we're just as important as everybody else in the family. We have a deep love and a lot of chemistry and passion. It takes a lot of work but it works.
What's the best advice you can give to a harried mom?
Take comfort in that all moms are going through the same thing. If you can't find a half hour or 45 minutes a couple days of week for yourself, you're in trouble. You need it to relieve stress, you need it to accomplish your own goals.
What's the worst mistake a mother can make?
What happens is many women lose themselves when they start raising a family. It's an ongoing challenge. But you need to take care of your relationship with your partner, too.
How is working for "Dancing with the Stars"?
It's a glamorous job. I get to leave my house in sweats and dress up as a princess at night and make it home by bedtime. A dream gig.

"a very clean hotel"
"Staff was friendly, rooms were a great size, and very clean. wanted to use the pool but it was being filled so it was too cold, maybe they should drain the pool mid week so its good for Friday night guests.Also a good idea to bring your own ear phones as the elipticals & treadmills have their own t.v. attached to them."

"I believe I may have left a hair brush in my room. Aluminum frame with black brissles. Could you advise me if the item was noticed by the housekeeping staff and turned in. Thanks. The only annoying thing I noticed was that when the air conditioning unit cycled on and off, it was very noisy."

Playa Health: The Importance of Buffers
By Dale Bolton • Apr 28, 2014
Research indicates that a buffer surrounding a playa lake, consisting typically of native grasses and forbs, prevents migration of upland topsoil and farm chemicals into lowland wetlands such as playa lakes and rainwater basins.
The buffers are important to rangeland playas, but are vital when playas are situated in fields under crop production.
Part four of a five-part Playa Country series on playas. It originally aired February 26, 2013 and was repeated April 29, 2014.

Primary Examiner-Manuel A. Antonakas Attorney, Agent, or Firm-Clarence A. O'Brien. Harvey B. Jacobson [57] ABSTRACT An elongated strip of a plurality of end to end connected elongated strip segments separated by weakened transverse zones of the strip and with each segment comprising a low profile envelope of flexible rupturable material having a lubricating fluid sealed therein. The segments include outer side surfaces provided with an adhesive coating and may be adhcsively secured, either in strips each comprising a plurality of strip segments or as individual segments spaced longitudinally along and circumferentially about a cable to be pulled through a conduit, whereby as the envelopes of lubricant move through zones of heavy friction between the cable and the inner conduit surfaces the envelopes will be ruptured by the increased pressure of lubricant therein as the envelopes are flattened and the lubricant will be expressed from the envelopes to lubricate both the cable and conduit inner surfaces in the zones of heavy friction between the cable and the conduit.
6 Claims. 6 Drawing Figures PAIENIED 3.858.687
sum 10F 2 METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR LUBRICATING CONDUCTORS BEING PULLED THROUGH CONDUITS In the electrical construction and utility fields eonductors are lubricated to reduce strain, tension and heat buildup as they are pulled into and through conduits. Excessive strain. tension and heat buildup can destroy the insulating properties of the sheath of the cable and possible cause the conductor of the cable to break. As a result. lubrication fluids are conventionally applied to the outer surfaces of the cable as it is being pulled into a conduit. In the past. such lubrication has been effected by hand coating the cable as it is pulled into the conduit. Although this manner of lubricating the conduit is effective. it is extremely inefficient, wasteful and a messy method of applying lubrication. A considerable amount of the lubricant slips or falls away during the application and does not reach the area of actual need. which area may include portions of the conduit having bends and angles formed therein. Due to the messy mode of hand application of lubrication to the cable. it is an unpalatable task and often circumvented by the contractor installing the conductor or cable. Therefore. hidden electrical hazards sometimes result.
In addition to the problems of actual lubrication. the present accepted work methods are extremely uncomfortable for the man in the field who must physically scoop up a handful of lubricant compound and literally massage it on the conductor or cable being drawn into the conduit. This creates a potential health hazard due to contact dermatitis by continued exposure. It is also a considerable annoyance to work with such lubricant in cold weather. Further. when pulling conductors at high ambient temperatures. many lubricants liquefy completely and are therefore substantially lost before a lubricated portion of the cable reaches a bend or angle in the associated conduit.
It is accordingly the main object of this invention to provide a method and apparatus of effectively lubricating cables and conductors as various portions thereof reach zones of high frictional resistance while being pulled through a conduit or other outer casing.
Another object of this invention is to provide an apparatus for lubricating cables constructed in a manner whereby the lubricant to be applied to the cables may be readily and conveniently packaged and stored prior to use.
Another object of this invention is to provide an apparatus for lubricating cables which will allow lubricant to be applied to cables and conductors in a manner without the workman applying the lubricant eaposing himself to the lubricant.
Yet another object of this invention is to provide a method and apparatus of effectively lubricating cables to be pulled through outer casings, without encountering any difficulties as a result of handling cables of different lengths or different diameters.
A final object of this invention to be specifically enumerated herein is to provide a method and apparatus for lubricating cables to be pulled through conduits and which will conform to conventional forms of manufacture. be of simple construction and easy to use so as to provide a lubricant apparatus and method which will be economically feasible. long lasting and relatively trouble free.
These together with other objects and advantages which will become subsequently apparent reside in the details of construction and operation as more fully hereinafter described and claimed. reference being had to the accompanying drawings forming a part hereof. wherein like numerals refer to like parts throughout.
FIG. I is a perspective view of a strip segment of the apparatus by which lubricant may be applied to the outer surfaces of cables or conductors to be pulled through conduits or other outer casings and with the protective sheath covering the adhesive side of the segment partially peeled away from the segment;
FIG. 2 is a fragmentary perspective view of a cable with two of the lubricating strip segments applied thereto;
FIG. 3 is a fragmentary sectional view taken substantially upon a plane passing along the longitudinal centerline of an outer casing through which the cable section illustrated in FIG. 2 is being pulled and with one ofthe lubricant package segments in a flattened condition with the lubricant having been expressed therefrom;
FIG. 4 is a longitudinal sectional view similar to FIG. 3 but illustrating the manner in which lubricant may be expressed from both of the segments applied to the cable as the cable is pulled through a tortuous portion of the conduit or other outer housing;
FIG. 5 is a perspective view of a strip section of a plurality of lubricating package segments; and
FIG. 6 is a perspective view of another cable section having a strip of lubricant package segments wound thercabout in a helical path.
Referring now more specifically to the drawings and to FIG. 5 in particular. a strip structure is referred to in general by the reference numeral I0 and comprises a plurality of end to end connected elongated strip segments I2 separated by transversely extending weakened zones I4 of the strip l0. The weakened zones l4 are defined by perforated zones of the strip I0.
Each ofthe segments I2 comprises a closed envelope including superposed sheets or sides I6 and I8 sealingly ioined together along corresponding marginal portions 20 in any convenient manner. The sheets I6 and I8 are constructed of a flexible rupturable material and each sheet 16 includes a low profile bulbous portion 22 spaced inwardly of the corresponding marginal portions 20. A supply of suitable fluid lubricant 23 is contained within each envelope defining segment I2 and the outer surface of the sheet I8 is provided with an adhesive coating 24 covered by means of u protective cover sheet 26 which is readily removable from the adhesive coating 24.
With attention now invited to FIG. 3 of the drawings. there may be seen an outer conduit or other casing 28 through which a cable 30 is being pulled. The cable 30 includes an outer insulation material 32 and a plurality of inner conductors 34. Of course. cables of other types may also be pulled through the conduit 28. A pair of segments I2 have been adhesiveiy secured to the conduit 30 as best shown in FIG. 2 of the drawings and as may be seen from FIG. 3 ofthe drawings the lengthwise extending segment I2 has been ruptured by heavy friction with the interior wall surfaces of the casing 28 and the lubricant 23 has been expressed therefrom. Of course. the transversely extending segment I2 illustrated in FIG. 3 has not yet been ruptured.
As the cable is drawn into the conduit 28, individual segments 12 may be torn from the strip 10 and the cover sheets 26 may be removed from the segments 12 in order that the latter may be readily adhesively secured to the outer surfaces of the cable 30.
With attention now invited more specifically to P16. 4 ofthe drawings. it may be seen that both the segments 12 may be ruptured so that the lubricant 23 is expressed therefrom as the cable 30 is pulled through a tortuous portion of the conduit 12. Further. as may be seen from FIG. 6 of the drawings. a section of the strip 10 may be wound about the cable 30 in a helical path at longitudinally spaced points along the cable 30.
in any event. the segments 12 may be readily handled and applied to the cable 30 as well as stored and shipped to a point of use. Still further. any desired lubricants may be contained within the segments 12 and may even include additives which may be detected from the exterior of the conduit 12 so that additional segments specifically positioned on the cable 30 may be applied to latter portionspulled into the conduit 28 in order to ensure lubrication of the interior of problematical zones thereof.
The envelopes or pouches 12 are to be manufactured of any compatible plastic. fibre. paper. resin impregnated fibre or paper. cloth. natural or synthetic foam of any film or laminated film that might by desirable or required for the application. being compatible with both the conductor insulation and the contained lubricant. The selection of the film or laminate is not to be a restrictive one in order to achieve the desired tensile strength and rupture properties as the type of film andlor structure of the laminate would be contingent upon the anticipated use ofthe pouch. where a light duty application might require one type of film. a heavy duty application would require a stronger or laminated film.
in design. the protective sheet or backing 26 is provided with a "tab 26' or an area larger than the surface it is protecting. This is intended to give the user a comfortable grip on the backing in its removal without resorting to the use of a knife. screwdriver or any other implement in order to remove the backing.
Further. the user could. by wrapping several small conductors. use the pouch as a band. tape or "tie" to secure the several small conductors. keeping them togctber. while pulling and lubricating them at one time. thereby creating an easier. simpler method for this type of pulling installation.
Also. through the use of the pouch lubricant. the problem of pulling a conductor through flooded or partially water-filled conduits can be overcome. As many existing conduits normally collect water. present means of lubrication are inefficient. as the collected water washes off the applied lubricant when the conductor passes through the water. leaving little or no lubricant on the conductor when it reaches the points of stress. Through the use of the pouch lubricant. the pouches will pass through a submerged area without loss of compound and will rupture only when reaching the point of stress and at that point. releasing the contained lubricant.
For efficient distribution of the lubricant. pouches varying in structural thicknesses could be applied. Similarly. it would be possible to create a "piggy-back" effect. using two or more bag pouches. either manufactured in multiples or manually placed on each other. This consideration is presented as pouches of different tensile strengths could be used. creating an effect of one rupturing prior to the second for more efficient lubrication.
in addition to the above described pouch. it is noted that a pouch could be constructed with a pre-weakcned area. which would offer a controlled release of the lubricant when such application warrants. The pouch could also be made with an exterior film. perforated and protected by a removable sheet. removed prior to use to release the lubricant in this manner rather than awaiting stress to rupture. prior to release.
The pouch also could contain natural or synthetic foam or fibrous material. which in turn would act as a "wipe" with the lubricant impregnated in some types of applications.
In such cases. it would be possible to rely on the stress to rupture the pouch or the design could be varied to have the foam structure coated with a selfadhering film which would be applied in the accepted manner to the conductor. with a face cover that could be stripped off. exposing the impregnated pad. prior to entering the conduit and lubricating the conduit wall as it is pulled along.
As an alternate method of using the pouch lubricant. rather than adhering the pouch to the conductor. the user could adhere the pouch to a glove (made of natural or synthetic material). and then grasp the conductor in the gloved hand to lubricate the conductor. Alternately. the pouch could be placed in a perforated pocket in the palm of the glove. thereby releasing the lubricant through the perforated pocket onto the conductor. in a similar concept. the glove could be made with a double palm and the user could inject the palm area with the lubricant. rcseal the palm pouch and lubricate the conductor in the usual manner.
it is noted that this method of lubrication need not be limited to electrical wire and cubic installations into conduits. but would also find favor in other areas of application such as bridge building. where steel cables must be lubricated during installation and other applications where there is a problem of delivery of the lubricunt to an area of stress. generally inaccessible during installation.
The described pouches. being hermetically sealed. present a preferred packaging container as the contained lubricant will not dry out in storage. This prevents a problem associated with presently packaged compounds. Economies will be effected through the use of the pouch as only a sulTicient number of pouches would be used for a given installation and this would result in a "no waste or loss status.
The foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the invention. Further. since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art. it is not desired to limit the invention to the exact construction and operation shown and described. and accordingly all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to. falling within the scope of the invention.
What is claimed as new is as follows:
I. The method of lubricating a cable as it is pulled through a curved portion of an extended length conduit section spaced from the opposite ends of said section. said method comprising the step of attaching low profile envelopes of flexible and rupturable material having lubricant disposed therein to the outer surface of the cable at points spaced longitudinally therealong and circumferentially thereabout and thereafter pulling the cable through the conduit, whereby as the envelopes of lubricant move through zones of heavy friction between the cable and inner conduit surfacs, such as said curved portion of said conduit, the envelopes will be ruptured by the increased pressure of lubricant therein and the lubricant will be expressed from the envelopes to lubricate both the cable and conduit inner surface in said zones of heavy friction.
2. The method of claim 1 wherein said method ineludes the step of adhesively securingsaid envelopes to said cable.
3. In combination with an extended length cable to be pulled through an extended length conduit section including at least one curved portion intermediate its opposite ends. a plurality of closed generally flat envelopes of flexible rupturable material, said envelopes being at least partially filled with lubricant, said envelopes being spaced along and about said cable and adhesively secured thereto.
4. The combination of claim 3 wherein each of said envelopes comprises a pair of opposite side sheets of said rupturable material including corresponding peripherally extending marginal portions sealingly secured together. one of said side sheets ofcach envelope being substantially planar. the other side sheet of each envelope defining a low profile bulbous portion inwardly ofthe marginal portion thereof in which said lubricant is disposed.
5. The combination of claim 3 wherein each of said envelopes is of a length greater than its width.
6. The combination of claim 3 wherein each envelope comprises a single segment ofa long strip ofa plurality ofend to end connected elongated segments separated by weakened transverse zones of said strip.

Before I get yelled at for trying something so reckless, let me tell you that I wouldn't do this in real life and it's an academic question.
Suppose I'm writing a library and I want my object to be able to make up methods as they are needed.
For example if you wanted to call a
.slice() method, and I didn't have one then the
window.onerror handler would fire it for me
Anyway I played around with this here
window.onerror = function(e) {
var method = /'(.*)'$/.exec(e)[1];
console.log(method); // slice
return Array.prototype[method].call(this, arguments); // not even almost gonna work
var myLib = function(a, b, c) {
if (this == window) return new myLib(a, b, c);
this[1] = a; this[2] = b; this[3] = c;
return this;
var obj = myLib(1,2,3);
Also (maybe I should start a new question) can I change my constructor to take an unspecified amount of args?
var myLib = function(a, b, c) {
if (this == window) return new myLib.apply(/* what goes here? */, arguments);
this[1] = a; this[2] = b; this[3] = c;
return this;
BTW I know I can load my objects with
['slice', 'push', '...'].forEach(function() { myLib.prototype[this] = [][this]; });
That's not what I'm looking for

ID and Help (again)
thwebbMay 30, 2012
I bought this orchid a few weeks ago. Can anyone identify it?
It is already starting to show some small signs of distress--small tears in the leaves, new leaf growth seems to have dried up, and the tips of the leaves are brown and dried out.
It is potted in moss, but the moss is unlike the kind I have for my Phalaenopsis--it is more brittle and dries out far more quickly. It is dry within about a day of watering, maybe two.
I have had this one on the same water cycles as the Phal's, which get drenched once a week. Should I up the watering? It is in a south facing window--plenty of light but no direct sunlight.

text: Products Fidelity Launches Its First Global Equity Income Funds By Tara Cantore email@example.com | May 10, 2012 May 10, 2012 (PLANSPONSOR.com) - Fidelity Investments launched its first global equity income funds. The funds include the Fidelity Global Equity Income and Fidelity Advisor Global Equity Income Fund.Fidelity's equity income funds are designed to meet investors' growing demand for equity income strategies. Each fund seeks reasonable income and will consider the potential for capital appreciation. Fidelity Management & Research Company (FMRCo), the funds' manager, invests each fund's assets in securities issued anywhere in the world, including the U.S. FMRCo normally invests at least 80% of each fund's assets in equity securities and invests primarily in income-producing securities.

While it may not seem like the most upbeat position to have, funeral directors perform an extremely important service for those who are in grief. The funeral director is responsible for the completion of the funeral rites. This typically includes embalming the body, the cremation or burial of the deceased, and the arrangement of the funeral ceremony. The funeral director is also responsible for making the corpse look acceptable for public viewing; this may include dressing or applying makeup to the deceased.Read More...
For the most part, funeral directors work exclusively for one funeral home. Many times, these are family businesses and they may hire within the friend or family circle. Most funeral homes typically have multiple funeral directors on staff so that they can assist each other in getting the work done. The majority of the work that a funeral director accomplishes is done indoors, and most funeral homes have separate rooms for each step of the funeral rites process. For example, there is typically a chapel in which the service is performed, a room for the viewing, and a room for the preparation of the body. Hours can vary greatly for funeral directors depending on what funeral home they work for.
One of the key personality traits that a good funeral director will possess is compassion. This is a job that deals with a lot of grief and sorrow, and it is important that the funeral director work with the customer to make the process as simple as possible. Funeral directors are subject to their own individual licensing regulations in the United States. This typically includes the completion of a post-secondary education program (associate's degree), and passing a national board examination as well as a state board examination. Oftentimes, potential funeral directors need to serve an apprenticeship prior to certification. Many Mortuary Science majors find rewarding careers as funeral directors.

Potassium-Sparing Diuretics
This family of diuretics was invented to avoid the potassium loss common with loop and thiazide diuretics.Potassium-sparing diuretics include drugs such as amiloride hydrochloride (Midamor), spironolactone (Aldactone), and triamterene (Dyrenium), among others.
PotassiumPotassium-sparing diuretics cause the kidneys to hold potassium in the body. When you are taking these medications you generally should not take potassium supplements because your potassium levels might rise too high.Treatments that combine thiazide diuretics (which cause potassium loss) and potassium-sparing diuretics can affect potassium levels unpredictably. If you are taking such a combination medication, do not take potassium except on the advice of your physician.
Magnesium Preliminary evidence from animal studies suggests that the potassium-sparing diuretic amiloride might cause the body to retain magnesium also, along with potassium. 2 Therefore, taking magnesium supplements might conceivably present the risk of excessive magnesium levels.
Arginine Based on experience with intravenous arginine, it is possible that the use of high-dose oral arginine might alter potassium levels in the body, especially in people with severe liver disease. 1 This is a potential concern for individuals who take potassium-sparing diuretics.
White WillowThe herb white willow contains substances very similar to aspirin. On this basis, it might not be advisable to combine white willow with potassium-sparing diuretics.
Zinc The potassium-sparing diuretic amiloride was found to significantly reduce zinc excretion from the body. 3 This means that if you take zinc supplements at the same time as amiloride, zinc accumulation could occur. This could lead to toxic side effects. However, the potassium-sparing diuretic triamterene does not seem to cause this problem. 4

Bose® IE2 audio headphones
" Update: Reduced design rating due to ever-tangling cable. The cable is MADE with some type of built-in twisting/tangling design flaw. Just holding the headphones in my hand, the cable wants to twist and turn and due to its material, it's never fully "straightened out" like most other headphone cables. Due to this, it's become unusable. I've owned the original Bose IEs and now bought these..." --xx0xx
"I bought this as a gift to my sister on her birthday. She lent it to me for a while so that I can test it to see how it is like.

Furthermore delivery was really quick, for my order arrived within two days (for I live in Singapore), to be honest I was expecting 3 to..." --kaixax555
" Summary: These require deep insertion. Once inserted they are neutral, extended and adaptable. They don't really have any sound signature that shines through recordings but instead adapts to what is being played. Great for the price. Very versatile. I bought these used from a fellow head-fier. Coming straight from the GR07, they sounded bright, dry, flat, grainy and..." --MoonYeol

When it comes to budget headphones from Asia, it's not an easy task because of an incredible amount of..." --twister6
" Intro GR07, Vsonic's statement in the IEM world. Featuring a Sony-licensed 11mm bio-cellulose driver, it was unlike anything out in the market. IEM's have come and gone, upon release many get hyped and overrated, but loose their sparkle over time. GR07 has proven to be able to withstand time, because it is simply a great product. At this time, despite the VC1000, GR07..." --Inks
"I've spent the past week auditioning these new VSD1S by VSonic. Before this I was listening extensively to my dual dynamics JVC FXT90's and my dual armature UE 700. For a single dynamic driver that is priced below $50.00, you get something tuned to compete with above $100.00 IEM's. Within a few hours, I realized that my VSD1S sounded as accurate and sonically equal to my dual FXT90! Though the..." --IEMagnet01
" The VSD1 is the latest in a rather long line of budget in ear monitors including the VC02, GR99, GR02 and others that promises high quality sound for around $50 or so. While I haven't had the opportunity to hear any of VSONIC's other budget offerings, I was quite impressed with the GR07 Bass Edition I purchased and reviewed some time ago. When the opportunity to review the VSD1..." --TheGame21x

Hoigaard's sold to Vail Resorts, which also bought Afton Alps
Century-old outdoor-equipment retailer Hoigaard's Inc. has been bought by Vail Resorts, the Colorado ski-resort company that that recently bought Afton Alps.
Vail Resorts Management Co. (NYSE: MTN) said in a news release Wednesday that its retail division — Specialty Sports Venture — bought Hoigaards, which has a 20,000-square-foot store in St. Louis Park.
Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Hoigaard's, which has been operating in the Twin Cities for 118 years, will retain its name and Todd Brewer will continue to be president of the brand. Vail noted that Brewer is married to a fourth-generation member of the Hoigaard family, and said a "majority of existing employees" will continue to work at Hoigaard's.
Broomfield, Colo.-based Vail Resorts bought Afton Alps, a ski area near Hastings, along with a Michigan resort for about $20 million in December. The company said last month it will spend nearly $10 million this summer for upgrades at Afton.
Speciality Sports Venture has more than 170 ski, snowboard, bike, golf and fly fishing shops throughout Colorado, northern California, Utah, Nevada and Wisconsin.

Once a fashion anachronism, the velvet shoe — also known as the Prince Albert slipper — has come into its own as a casualwear must-have. Matthew Chevallard and his team at Del Toro are partly to thank for that turn of events. Based in Miami, Del Toro turns out men's and women's velvet shoes featuring every design imaginable — from edgy-cool embroidered skulls and crossbones to metal studs, camouflage prints, red stars, and polka dots. If you still regard velvet shoes as something only your wealthy cigar-smoking uncle should wear, have no fear: Del Toro produces all the wingtips, sneakers, espadrilles and boots your heart could ever desire, in luxe suede and leather as well as reflective 3M and water-repellant Sunbrella. Every design reflects Chevallard's effortless fusion of NYC street style and Italian refinement.

Capt. Danelle Barrett
Assistant Chief of Staff for Command, Control, Communications, Computers and Combat Systems
Carrier Strike Group Two
Navy Department
Barrett is considered a far-seeing problem-solver who can work at the tactical and strategic levels.
She has led improvements in communications and information technology that go well beyond her carrier strike group and the Navy. For example, Barrett identified information assurance gaps in the Navy's staffing and training tools for afloat personnel that will result in improvements to the overall security of the Global Information Grid.
"She has the ability to be candidly frank with the facts in a way that plays as well up the chain of command as down it," said Robert Carey, the Navy Department's chief information officer. "At the same time, she keeps the mission focus upfront."
