Colonel Richard M. Bridges: Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen. Today we are here for an on-the-record briefing outlining the Department of Defense's plans to integrate the reserve components into the Department's response to incidents involving weapons of mass destruction. Joining us to help explain the program announced earlier today by Secretary Cohen will be Assistant Secretary of Defense for Reserve Affairs, Deborah R. Lee, who will be followed by the acting Secretary of the Army, Robert M. Walker. Following their opening remarks, you will receive an outline of the program from Brigadier General Roger C. Schultz, who is the deputy director of military support, deputy chief of staff for operations.
Ms. Lee.
Assistant Secretary Lee: Thank you, Colonel Bridges. And good afternoon one and all.
As the Colonel said, we are here today to unveil what we believe to be a very important initiative regarding our nation's ability to respond to the possibility of terrorists' use of weapons of mass destruction right here on U.S. soil.
As Secretary Cohen said just a few hours ago in a presentation before the National Press Club, these deadly weapons of terror constitute a growing threat worldwide. The end of the Cold War, the break up of the Soviet Union and the increasing global nature of our economy have made it easier for terrorists and criminal networks to possibly acquire such weapons and so that's why we feel we must prepare to deal with the consequences of the possibility of such an attack involving chemical, biological or radiation weapons should that attack occur here at home.
Now, the steps that we are beginning today, specifically the announcement of a new plan to use our Guard and Reserve forces in this fight as well as the establishment of a Guard and Reserve consequence management program integration office will advance our overall capabilities to support local, state and federal civil authorities in the event a WMD, weapons of mass destruction, type of incident should one day occur.
As you know, DoD has been a player in this realm for some time. We have been very heavily involved in implementing what is called the Nunn-Lugar-Domenici city training program, which is working to train local first responders in 120 of our nation's largest cities. We're training local fire, police and emergency medical personnel on how to deal with what could be catastrophic effects of a weapons of mass destruction incident. Now, this program, we think, is getting good results, but we feel that we can do more. So the program that we are unveiling today involving our Guard and Reserve forces is designed to complement these on-going Nunn-Lugar-Domenici efforts.
Secretary Cohen has made it quite clear that he wants the Guard and Reserve forces, our part time military forces, front and center when it comes to DoD's response to terrorist attacks or the possibility of such attacks here at home. Why the Guard and Reserve? Because they live and they work in all of our communities. They know the lay of the land. They have established links to the fire, police and emergency medical personnel who are always the first responders when something occurs here at home.
All Guard and Reserve forces already have significant capabilities to support state governments in all types of disaster response. And indeed, our National Guard in particular has a long history of such service. The goal now is to take that baseline, to take those capabilities and then adapt them to the requirements of consequence management for weapons of mass destruction. Our Guard and Reserve forces, consequently, will soon receive additional training and equipment to prepare for this new mission.
Now, I want to stress that this is not a DoD mission alone and it is certainly not a Guard and Reserve mission alone. But rather, what we're talking about is the use of DoD assets to support local, state and federal civil authorities. During any such incident, DoD, again, would be in a support role, not the lead role. Rather, the Federal Emergency Management Agency would retain its lead federal agency response position under such a scenario.
Now, this is a very, very big and important job. Should the unthinkable occur and should a weapon of mass destruction actually be used, responders, be they local, state or federal, will confront very unique and very daunting challenges. Survivors of an incident will need medical assistance. It will need to be immediate and it will likely need to be massive. Survivors will need information on where and how to get help. Specialists will have to identify the nature of an attack and restrict access to hazardous areas. Others will need to come in and decontaminate those areas. And rescue and medical personnel will need to perform their missions without themselves also becoming casualties. So like I said, it's a very big job.
Here's how we propose to do it. At its core, the plan foresees the initial establishment of ten rapid assessment and detection teams. These teams will be comprised of 22 highly trained, full time National Guard personnel. And each of the teams will be tasked with a rapid response mission. They're designed to arrive quickly on the scene of an incident and they will be able to help local first responders identify the nature of an attack and call in as follow-on forces the right kinds of support. These teams are designed to form the tip of our national military support and response spear. Complementing and supporting these teams will be specially trained and equipped decontamination and reconnaissance units which will be drawn from existing Guard and Reserve force structure currently located across the United States.
Now, we've budgeted almost $50 million dollars in the FY '99 budget to begin this program of training and equipping and standing up these teams around the country. They will report through the Director of Military Support, up to one-half of who's staff will soon be comprised of personnel from the Guard and Reserve world.
This plan, I will tell you, has been a very collaborative effort between our active, Guard, Reserve and civilian leadership. And indeed, under Secretary Cohen's leadership, I just want to note the presence here today of Ambassador Holmes, our Assistant Secretary for Special Operations and Low Intensity Conflict. He is the keeper of the Nunn-Lugar-Domenici program here in DoD. We also have General Baca, our Chief of the National Guard, General Helmly, Chief of the Army Reserve, we have General Davis, the vice Chief of the National Guard Bureau, General Soriano, the Director of DOMS, and many others. Again, this has been a very, very collaborative effort and all of these individuals participated in the Tiger Team that helped to develop this concept for using the Guard and Reserve for this mission.
And so now, if I may, I'd like to turn the podium over to the chair of this effort, the chair of the Tiger Team, acting Secretary of the Army, Mike Walker.
Secretary Walker: Thank you very much, Debbie.
I keep on my desk a jagged piece of glass which the FBI gave me from the childcare center in the Murrow Federal Building in Oklahoma City. I keep it there as a reminder of what can happen in America. One hundred and sixty eight people died that day in Oklahoma City. But 5,000 would have died if that bomb had been a chemical weapon. So that is what we faced with the potential of weapons of mass destruction.
As you know, the Secretary of Defense has named the Army for a number of years to be the executive agent for military support to civil authorities. That has traditionally focused on the assisting the lead federal agency, FEMA, in responding to forest fires and floods and hurricanes and earthquakes and the like. When Congress passed the Nunn-Lugar-Domenici program, as Debbie mentioned, to train up to 120 cities in responding to domestic terrorism from weapons of mass destruction, the Secretary named the Army to be the executive agent for that program to proceed with the training.
And then last fall, he asked us to look at the potential of improving the ability of the Guard and Reserve to assist in responding to weapons of mass destruction. I established a Tiger Team, as Debbie indicated, under the direction of Brigadier General Roger Schultz, who is the Deputy Adjutant General from Iowa and is currently serving as the Deputy Director of Military Support in the Army Operations Center. General Schultz pulled together elements from all of the services, from all the Reserve components and from OSD. And he also carefully coordinated the preparation of the report with our interagency partners and especially our lead at FEMA. In addition, he carefully consulted and the Tiger Team carefully consulted with state and local officials to find out what they needed most as we put this effort together.
Now I will call on Roger Schultz in just a moment. But let me say that this is a very serious subject. The experts tell us that it's their view that it's not if, but when a weapon of mass destruction will be used in this country. So it is very important that the American people believe that their government's at every level are doing everything possible to prepare for that potential. We believe that the program that Secretary Cohen announced today is a step in that direction.
And General Schultz, if you come and explain to the folks.
General Schultz: Thank you Secretary Walker, members of the press, good afternoon.
Secretary Cohen's announcement earlier today regarding the nation's preparedness for weapons of mass destruction response underscores the Department of Defense interest in improving our ability to respond to these attacks. And I'm going to talk for just a minute about the detail that Ms. Lee and Secretary Walker have already introduced. And as I do, I'll provide, then, the detail that we anticipate the Guard and Reserve becoming a part of in terms of our overall response efforts.
And we're talking about a support role that Ms. Lee has already introduced. And at the center of this chart at the top, you'll notice we use the word "support." And then in the center of the chart down just a little bit, you'll also notice we talk about the Guard and Reserve and our role of supporting our nation's response disasters, to domestic emergencies. And so the theme of our work is integrating the Guard and Reserve, the theme of our work is a support mission that Ms. Lee has already introduced initially here.
The next chart talks about some of the detail regarding our recent history in terms of where the Tiger Team that's already been mentioned has been. This past November, we assembled a group of experts to look at the military requirements to support a response to weapons of mass destruction attack. And so we looked at the military functions, you'll see at the top, and outlined, then, the integration that's already mentioned briefly. And for certain, we talked about the program definition, the tasks that obviously would fall out of that mission statement in terms of the detail that we in the military, the Defense Department, in this case, the Guard and Reserve, might be asked to perform. So we looked at the interagency strategic plans and we looked at the other requirements that the Guard and Reserve could be tasked to accomplish.
Next chart.
I want to get into just a little bit of the detail that Ms. Lee talked about regarding our chain of command. Secretary Walker, of course, is in our chain of command in terms of our day to day responsibility. But I would like to point out that our relationship with Secretary Cohen at the top left of the chart in relationship with the Secretary of the Army, General Soriano has already been introduced, but the program office that we're announcing today, the lower left-hand corner of this chart really is what we're establishing and what we're announcing. And in terms of implementation, the program office detail is found on the right-hand side of this chart. But the implementation, yes, recognizes an interagency response obligation. Interagency to us, our federal partners, the FEMA, FBI, the Public Health Service, the Veterans Administration are the kinds of agencies that we feel we have an interest and an obligation to be a part of in terms of response.
And as you work down the list, as it relates to the Defense Department's ability to respond, we find ourselves today, not prepared. And I'll talk about that in just a little more detail. Not prepared with the likes of the description of the missions that we may be asked to react to. And so, you'll hear today our concept, our plan on how that program comes together.
The more important piece on this chart, I think, really deals with the task, train and equip our Reserve component response elements, and that's found in the right-hand side of the chart where we talk about shaping and focusing the Guard and Reserve training efforts and equipping the Guard and Reserve units to respond to a WMD-like attack. And so, you'll find that to be a significant part or our concept in our overall interest.
One of the things we found in our study is that we need to practice more with our interagency partners. Working with the state government, working with the local government, and also then, the federal partners here. And so, we say it's not just establishing a program where we go out and train the military, it's establishing a program where we exercise with the state responders, the local responders and the federal government. So as we talk here about coordinating the procedures, the office we're announcing today begins to coordinate those activities overall and that's the detail that I'll provide here as we continue with the briefing. So this is the program we're standing up. This is the office that will be in existence here from this day forward relating to overall, coordinating the consequence management program activities.
As we talk about an overall response graphic, what we recognize on this chart is that we possibly could have local responders and state responders and federal responders reacting to the same incident.
Notice in the lower left-hand graphic, the arrow talks about an incident commander. And it's our recognition, in the case of the Defense Department, that we support a local incident commander. So our idea is that a fire chief remains in charge and that's what you see in the bottom part of the graphic there, and that throughout the mission, the fire chief would remain an incident command kind of responsibility.
And recognize that as the state response comes together, this is the governor's authority to bring the National Guard and other state resources to bear, that they too would have a chain of command. And as well, the federal responders would then come in with the other task force that are follow-on force in nature that would also have their own separate chain of command. So our challenge is to bring together these three response activities into a weapon of mass destruction response.
What's this all mean? What we're saying is that a weapon of mass destruction attack is different in the sense that the state forces could be overwhelmed earlier than ever before and as well, we may need to call in the federal assets. So it brings to bear, perhaps, a reaction time that we have never before anticipated in terms of Guard and Reserve reacting to day-to-day mission requirements.
The federal response plan that is outlined on this chart really is an example of how we, for a local incident commander in the top left corner of the chart, then bring the DoD resources to the scene of a local incident. And I want to talk through this just briefly.
The state coordinating officer is the person that responders to the governor of the various states and territories. And so beyond the control of a local commander perhaps being overwhelmed on the scene fairly early, we would have a state response force coming together. And we recognize that the federal activity needs to be coordinated, in this case, by the FEMA or the Federal Emergency Management Agency, through the numbers of agencies and the support functions that you see on the chart here. What we really want to do, though, is make available DoD resources to the local incident commander. And that's what's happening here in terms of this graphic.
So there is a defense coordinating officer in the lower left corner of the chart that coordinates or brings to bear those defense activities and isolates the requirements that the Defense Department may have a requirement for. But what we really do is send the resources to the response task force. And the next chart is going to give us a graphic on what that looks like.
So again, we're responding with a request from a local incident commander and the person says I need these kinds of activities and of course, reinforcing the point that I made earlier, that we, DoD, are not as prepared as we need to be a weapons of mass destruction response. We have limited capabilities, in fact, and this chart shows that from the command and control, where you'll see at the top, we have a commander. Command and control activity exists today. And the 1st Army in Atlanta and the 5th Army in San Antonio, Texas. But what we look at is capability shaded in green and you can see, we have coordinating officers, emergency preparedness liaison officers that exist today.
Lower left corner talks, then, about our current capabilities. Explosive ordnance disposal, laboratories and the tech escort unit. The Marines have the CBIRF model many have talked about for some time. That represents today's DoD capability for response to WMD-like attacks.
So what we have on the rest of the chart, then, shaded in white are those capabilities that we need to shape. We need to focus. We need to equip. And the Guard and Reserve units represent these areas or these functions today. And that's our task. That's the program that we're announcing today is to take these activities and these type support requirements and put them together in terms of a response activity.
Challenge? This chart shows the challenge that we have about us. And I want to talk for just a minute about the three blocks shaded in yellow. Because Ms. Lee pointed out the activities for the fiscal year '99 program and the shaded yellow blocks are what we'll talk about here for just a couple minutes.
So the teams that we are talking about are rapid assessment teams and we've already heard about at least ten teams being fielded in fiscal year '99. The team missions, you can see, and a couple of key words that I need to point out here. One is rapid deployment. One is early-on assessment of a given incident. What kind of agent are we dealing with, where's the cloud or the plume that's perhaps been used on a given incident site and perhaps where are those in danger, where do we need to secure, where do we evacuate from or perhaps, where do we keep people from entering. And so, all of those missions come together here in terms of this assessment element being a part of that overall command and control activity. I say all of this. We still are responding to a local incident commander's request. We, the Department of Defense, are responding to a local incident commander's request. And you can see some of the other activities. This chart breaks down the team in terms of just the response like activities on the right-hand side as it relates to the organization of those response teams. And I'll explain just a little bit of that later.
So we have the assessment elements. Then these are the two remaining elements that we're going to stand up in fiscal year '99, are broken down into reconnaissance and detection. You can see both the missions for the recon and decontamination and also then the units employed. We plan to have 68 of the recon units -- 68 of the decontamination units and 27 of the recon units during the first year of the program.
So we're really talking about a multi-year program here. As you look generally at some of the task activity, it's not going to clearly be accomplished in the first year. And this chart, then, outlines our multi-year approach to the overall concept that we're announcing today as it relates to the commitment that was being presented earlier in the National Press Club.
You can see here the activities, the detailed plan, the program office that we're announcing today will accomplish the items in the top left corner of this chart. And in terms of fielding the assessment teams and the recon teams and the decontamination teams, it takes two years to accomplish those activities.
Long term, we are here to say that we have a commitment to sustaining the skills. You'll see that in our plan in terms of the detail, it terms of the rest of the activity as it isolates task, train and equip responders. And so our program today is perhaps the first step of a journey that begins to use and capitalize on the Guard and Reserve being considered for weapons of mass destruction response.
I do want to take time for questions. And I want to introduce Lt. Col. Jay Steinmetz, who will be with us here for questions and answers. He's the person that's actually going to head up the new program office and so, I've asked him to simply come up and be a part of the questions and answers.
Q: Can you tell us, because I'm sure local communities want to know, where are these ten first teams going to be located?
A: We have outlined on this chart the ten federal emergency management area regions. We'll put a team in each of these regions and we are considering a list of criteria that factors in the likes of the population centers and a number of other factors. The local military training centers of excellence that are available. And so we've worked --
Q: Already FEMA sites?
A: Yes, these are ten FEMA regions that exist today. And we will place one of our assessment teams in each of the regions.
Q: But where in the regions?
A: Well, that's the model we're working through right now. We're working the scenarios that will be finished in April of this year. So, it'll actually be May before we identify the actual communities that will receive these teams.
Q: I was curious how you came up with such a jaw breaking name, Consequence Management Program Integration Office.
A: Consequence Management is a FEMA lead responsibility from a Presidential decision directive. And of course, in a supporting role the Department of Defense has, Consequence Management is the more likely of the task that we will receive here for this mission. And so, that's where the name came from. It came from a Presidential decision directive and that's the office that will be coordinating the activity.
Q: You talk about ten teams, but then you break down your FY program and you've got 65 decon and 28 recon --
A: What we are -- do you have the one that talks about the organization?
When we talk about ten teams, that structure that's new to the force. The rest of the teams that we're organizing are found in the Guard and Reserve today. And so as we talk about these type capabilities, these are elements that are stationed across the Guard and Reserve units that exist today that need some training, need some focus on their task and need some equipment. And so what we're showing here are both an active Guard and Reserve kind of capability ultimately trained and equipped. Explosive ordnance would be Air Force, Army. The laboratories, Army and Navy, for example. Tech escort is an Army capability. But the Guard and Reserve units make up the rest of those blocks in white. They're in our structure today, but not trained and equipped like they need to be.
Q: The problem you have with Guard and Reserve personnel is they have real jobs, most of them, and they do other things which might not make them available for instant mobilization. And yet, these people, you're talking about being able to be on the scene within hours, I would imagine. Isn't that a complication?
A: Yes, it is. And the Guard and Reserve respond today with similar kinds of mission, in particular the Guard where perhaps we have short notice mission requirements. And our reaction yet today is less than four hours as it relates to mission kinds of reactions. So I'm just talking about response time that the Guard is currently experiencing. Now as it relates to how quick is soon enough, the quicker the better are what first responders tell us. And so, you're question is can we get there in time. And the answer is our plan is to start with ten teams and then simply test that model or validate the response concept and develop from there.
Q: Those rapid teams, those are full time people, right? Or no?
A: The teams that are announced today, yes, have a full time staff, a full time contingent and a traditional member contingent. Their 22 members are the full time spaces and there are an additional 22 members for traditional. So it would be a 44 member platoon if you just took the model and applied it to a given mission.
Q: What would the threshold be for sending one of these teams out? We've had a couple of incidents in the last year. We had the one in Las Vegas just recently. I doubt that gets to your threshold because nothing happens. Or we had the thing in Washington where there was sort of a mysterious package that could have been a biological agent. That doesn't ring your bells, I guess, probably.
A: They absolutely do. They ring our bells. In fact, the team that we sent from Dugway, Utah, to Las Vegas was approved through our office. That chain of command that I talked about on an earlier chart that had our relationship with the Secretary of Defense, has Mr. Walker in the approval process. And yes, we have to approve those teams responding to a mission, in this case, the FBI lead. So it absolutely rings our bell. And it turned out that the agent was not what was announced initially.
Q: But that Dugway team is a regular Army team, is it not?
A: Yes, that's a regular Army team as part of the tech escort unit.
Q: I assume that they would still get the first call in most of these cases unless there was an individual case or is that not true?
A: I think in terms of the decision making in terms of who gets the first call is where the teams are located and the response time that simply would be applied to get there, I do believe. And so we've gone through an analysis of just the question you're asking. How quick can I get there? And so the regional teams are a start point for us.
Q: As I understand, you have Dugway people and on the East Coast, you have Fort Deitrich or something. Would this be sort of decentralize it to more places so you can get there faster?
A: The tech escort unit really exists in three locations today, so they've already been decentralized some. What we have potentially in the case of weapons of mass destruction attack is we just simply may not have the forces in the right places. And so the Guard and Reserve begin to sure up that response capability, that potential. And they're stationed across the country today. And so it places a response potential that's closer to the sites, that potentially that could be attacked.
Q: What actual evidence do you have that the threat is increasing?
A: The FBI actually has the lead on the domestic threat. And of course, one of the things that we're preparing for is an item that Secretary Walker talked about. And that is we may, in fact, be attacked. And so if you look at terrorist activity worldwide, we are simply preparing for a mission that may come, may arrive. And so we do, obviously, listen to the FBI on a routine basis, a frequent basis, so that we get an update on the threat assessment as the activities occur. And so we clearly monitor the threat in terms of how much of the threat and the activity really -- the FBI has release authority on that kind of information.
Q: Are you saying that the FBI has concrete evidence of an increasing threat of this type of an attack in the United States?
A: I really don't -- I just simply can't describe the threat in terms of the lead agency because they have to react to that kind of question. We're saying the likelihood is changing, that we may have an attack in the continental United States, the likelihood. And so we're preparing for that question, might there be one. We're preparing for perhaps a mission that most hope never takes place.
Q: What's the additional cost once you get geared up of running this outfit per year?
A: First year cost, as Ms. Lee pointed out, was $49 million dollars. That's the start up, the equipment and the training. And so we anticipate that to be kind of an annual cost as we go into the program.
Q: $49 million a year indefinitely?
A: And I say that, we're developing next year's budgets right now, and so it's obviously a program we have to defend and justify as we go through the budget review process.
Q: But that's an annual amount, not just a start up --
A: Yes.
Q: Let me ask you something to clear something up. These ten teams would Army National Guard teams, right? But draw on other National Guard units?
A: Right. And we talk about this chart. These kinds of elements, these capabilities are found in the Guard and Reserve today, these elements. And so if they're Guard units, they can be called by the governors and are routinely called today.
Q: These would be Army National Guard.
A: Army or Air National Guard. It actually could be both because both the Army and Air National Guard respond to the governors in the states and territories today. And so the immediate force are National Guard. The assessments. These elements, perhaps found in the Guard, could be called by governors. There are Reserve capabilities here that could be authorized for response by the President.
Q: But the ten teams that you're forming will be both Army and National Guard.
A: Army and Air National Guard teams. Which gives us that accessibility. That's where the governors' authority to call their subordinate units to come to bear, which allows for a quicker response.
Q: Back to the budget, what pot of money will this come out of as you get rolling? Would it be out of the Secretary's emergency fund or each service would have to kick in? Or, where is the money going to come from?
A: Secretary of Defense Cohen has announced a commitment of multi- year kinds of dollars to the program. And so what we're realizing in terms of first year costs are a part of that overall commitment. And so, this is all DoD money that he's applied to the mission.
Q: It's OSD money we're talking about, not service money.
A: That's correct.
Q: Thank you very much.

It's an arcane subject that is of concern mainly to financial institutions and retailers and one that rarely generates headlines. Last year, however, everything changed.
Our nation's credit unions are fundamental to the success of the communities and small businesses that built our country and made it the greatest in the world.
Montana Sen. Jon Tester keynotes the Political Breakfast; Katherine Marisic debuts as political director.
During the first five months of 2011, CUNA's political action committee received $502,266 in contributions toward its efforts to influence the outcome of political campaigns, and NAFCU's fundraising efforts netted $53,669, according to reports filed with the Federal Election Commission.
Trades report contributions to congressional lobbying efforts.
WASHINGTON — His predecessor had to lay people off and fight congressional efforts to dramatically increase the regulatory burden on credit unions.
Here's one of the articles that will appear in the next print edition of Credit Union Times.
Credit unions are hoping for relief from the courts and an improved rule from the Federal Reserve following the Senate defeat of an amendment that would have delayed the Federal Reserve's rule regulating debit interchange fees by up to a year.
New debit cap "is going to create a train wreck that will affect every consumer with a debit card," says CUNA President/CEO Bill Cheney.
After year-long battle between financial institutions and retailers, measure to delay interchange cap fails by six votes.

Bristol Rovers seal deals to keep four loan stars
Posted: January 28, 2012|
Bristol Rovers are extending the loan spells of four players – with boss Mark McGhee hoping to strengthen the squad further over the days ahead.
Central defenders Aaron Downes and Cian Bolger – and midfielder Andy Dorman – will be staying with the Pirates until the end of the season.
Goalkeeper Michael Poke will remain with the club for at least another month.
Downes has impressed during his first month's stay after signing from Chesterfield, while Leicester City youngster Bolger – who had an initial spell with Rovers last season and returned over the summer – will see out the whole campaign with the club.
Dorman joined from Crystal Palace in mid-November and has been a regular in the side ever since, while Poke was recruited from Brighton at the turn of the year after previous first-choice Scott Bevan suffered a calf injury and is having his stay extended by another four weeks.
McGhee, who goes into his first home game as Rovers' manager against Bradford today, admits he will have to carry out a reshuffle in the light of fresh injuries – although he will not reveal the players involved.
"We really are down to bare bones and I'm having to look at options of who can play where," he said. "We need to get through this little period until we can get one or two back who can give us strength in depth because we are at a minimum at the moment.
"We didn't have a lot of options last weekend – and this weekend we will be digging even deeper to make sure we can fill holes.
"We may have to improvise in terms of people playing in different positions."
McGhee is looking to bring in more new faces, although they may not arrive before Tuesday's transfer deadline.
"I've been looking at it all week, but any strengthening will be with the season in mind," he said.
"I won't be rushing into signings just for the sake of it and any that I do make will be loans, which we can still do after Tuesday.
"They will arrive when they arrive.
"I'm still learning about the squad in terms of who can cross over and have some utility value before I really understand exactly what I need, so I'm looking at lots of positions."
Despite a shortage of numbers, McGhee remains optimistic the side can continue the recent improvement which has seen them take seven points from the last nine.
"It's not all doom and gloom because I'm very excited and positive about the game," he said.
"Bradford have a man in charge now who eventually will get them out of this division – I know Phil Parkinson well.
"Like ourselves, they have ambitions to be in a higher division – but at the moment, they are in the same fight we are and it's going to be a tough game."
McGhee said he may not risk recalling skipper Matt Gill in midfield, who was on the bench last week and played 75 minutes of a midweek reserve game.
"Matt is closer, although I'm not convinced he's ready to start. I've discussed it with our physio Phil Kite and he is slightly nervous about the possibility of him getting a secondary injury. I will discuss it with Matt," said McGhee.
"We are under pressure because of numbers, but I am not going to play him and hurt him just because of that.
"I'd rather play someone else who is 100 per cent fit and give them an opportunity rather than risk him."

Louise, you are exactly the type of breeder Capt. Von Stephanitz would be proud of. I like very few GSDs these days, but you have bred some very worthy dogs, especially that rock solid, super sound Ursus son you have (who appears to be a good producer of real quality). That young sable puppy out of him has as nice a shoulder as I've seen in a long time and a very short iron back with near perfect proportions and solid bone. I know that you have done a great job breeding and hand raising your puppies. Your GSDs have the type of rock solid normal GSD temperament the Captain preferred and demanded. You have bred and raised some stand up, rock solid GSDs that are naturally protective and courageous without being prey obsessed maniacs. GSD enthusiasts who want to do quality breeding should strive to be like you.
There is no way any commercial breeding factory could ever duplicate what it has taken you so many years of careful selective breeding and training to produce. And there are a substantial nyumber of other small breeders like you in North America, Germany and Europe and elsewhere that run small home-based quality breeding programs like you.

commissioned reviews by the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) and the National Academy of Public Administration (NAPA) to address the questions raised by the OMB. This is the report of the NAS review; the NAPA study will be the subject of a separate report.
The Committee on Smithsonian Scientific Research was charged to provide specific recommendations and a rationale with criteria on what parts of the Smithsonian's research portfolio should continue to be exempt from priority setting through competitive peer-reviewed grant programs because of uniqueness or special contributions. The charge to the Committee called for a review of the scientific research centers that report to the Smithsonian's Under Secretary for Science—the National Museum of Natural History, the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory, the National Zoological Park, the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute, the Smithsonian Center for Materials Research and Education, and the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center. The Committee was also charged to consider the effects on the Smithsonian, the research centers, and the relevant scientific fields of re-allocating the current federal support to a competitive process. Finally, the Committee was asked to make recommendations on how any Smithsonian science programs that continued to receive direct federal appropriations should be regularly evaluated and compared with other research in the relevant fields. The Committee was not asked to review the funding of SI research centers that report to the Smithsonian's Under Secretary for American Museums and National Programs.
To respond to its charge, the Committee examined the research programs and the funding structure at the six Smithsonian scientific research centers. It also considered possible consequences of removing direct federal appropriations to the Smithsonian science programs and reallocating the funds to open competition.
In carrying out its review, the Committee established a framework of criteria to be applied to its review of the Smithsonian research centers in the execution of its task. The Committee considered
The nature of the Smithsonian as a scientific institution.
How uniqueness and special contribution apply to each of the six science centers covered by the study. In the context of this study, uniqueness and special contribution may have many meanings that refer to special attributes associated with a particular research center.
How opening some of or all the support now given to each of the centers to a competitive process would affect the science involved.
How the centers might be evaluated regularly to ensure that the quality of their science is maintained if any of the six are deemed to be unique and to warrant continuation of the current system of support.

The U.S. Education Department denied South Carolina's request to further appeal a $36 million penalty for not spending enough on special education during the economic downturn, meaning the cut could continue indefinitely.
U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan dismissed the case in a six-page order sent to state officials.
South Carolina schools chief Mick Zais said Monday he's left with no choice but to pursue solutions through the courts and Congress.

Opening reception: Wednesday, Sept. 30, 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. Music by SNHU Student Ensemble
Chris Bartlett Iraqi Detainee, Amman, Jordan, March 2006, B&W film, silver print, 20 x 24 inches.
What is in a face? Portraiture provides the artist an opportunity to reveal a detailed description of the sitter which ultimately gives way to the complexity of their character and of the relationship between artist and sitter. Chris Bartlett, a fashion still life photographer, and Daniel Heyman, painter/printmaker, have created portraits of similar subjects, some of which include detainees from Abu Ghraib, that reflect the sensitivity and mastery of their respective skills and by extension illuminate the vulnerability and courage of their subjects.
Also included is a selection of Heyman's portraits of African-American fathers living in Philadelphia.
Bartlett has worked for some of the top names in fashion photography, including Mike Reinhardt, Bert Stern and Richard Avedon. His approach to stills is greatly influenced by his experience as a fashion photographer: creating a mood, telling a story, manipulating the light to produce compositionally strong, technically solid images that still feel loose and stand apart from the standard "still" fare. His work has been inVogue, British Vogue, Teen Vogue, Men's Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, Town & Country, InStyle, and Outside.
Heyman recently received a $60,000 Pew Foundation Fellowship Award. His work appears in numerous collections, including the Baltimore Museum of Art, the Hood Museum of Art at Dartmouth College, the Library of Congress and the Yale University Art Gallery. He received his A.B. from Dartmouth College and his M.F.A. from the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia.

05/25/2012 – The Aquinas College Men's 4x800 Meter Relay team comprised of Nick Thelen, Grant Gunneson, Dustin Heiler and Caleb Teachout won the 4x800 Meter Relay at the NAIA Outdoor Track and Field Championships in Marion, Indiana. In school record fashion (7:27.97), the Saints recorded Aquinas College's first ever National Championship in a relay event. The foursome combined to cut nearly nine seconds off the previous school record which was recorded at the 2010 Outdoor Championships when the Saints finished in fourth place. The Saints missed a national championships record by a little over a second.
The Saints also saw great performances from the Men's & Women's 4x100 Meter Relays. Both squads advanced on time to tomorrow's final. The men recorded the third fastest time in school history and the fastest time since 2001 (40.92). The foursome of Blake Garvey, Ryan Parminter, Jake Sanders and Rumeal McKinney will compete at 2:50 in tomorrow's final. The foursome of Madison Koenig, Samantha DeStefano, Dana Kolnitys and Joordn Hall ran a 47.33 -- the fourth fastest time in school history. The women's final will be competed at 2:40 p.m. tomorrow.
Ryan Helminiak narrowly missed All-American honors as he cleared 6-6 and placed 9th in the High Jump, while Erika Heston placed 16th in the 100 meter hurdles with a time a 15.19.
Final day action starts at 6 a.m. with Emily Sandula competing in the women's marathon and concludes with Emily Smith in the discus.

Nanuet Sculptra reviews
89% of Nanuet reviewers said Sculptra was worth it
"61, Year Old Female - Englewood..."
I went to see Dr Rappaport because I have acne scarf on my face and I want to see what can be done to remove then, instead he start telling me that I need injections to fill my cheeks, which some how I end up saying yes, and also they dont explain that much of what not to do after the treatment, I have to call the office to find out what to do with some products Dr told me use in which he... more
"Cosmetic Procedures - Brooklyn, NY"
Long time patient of the extremely intelligent and deeply caring Dr. Irene Gladstein. First time I stepped into her office... I felt total competence. We discussed carefully what was best for me. Dr. Irene Gladstein was amazing. She is very professional and caring. My results are always so fantastic! I totally recommend her and urge anybody to visit Dr.Gladstein. Her staff is so... more
"Sculptra - Cortlandt Manor, NY"
Excellent plastic surgeon. Trust his judgment. He is conservative in his approach and never pushes a patient into procedures they don't need. Goes out of his way to ensure that his patient/client is happy with their results. I highly recommend him and would definitely return. Great result with Sculptra. Do need to touch up though at least yearly for best results. Not sure of the total... more
"Magical Injections from Tatiana Khrom"
Tatiana is not only a dermatologist, she's an artist. She only underline's the beauty that's already there. You could never tell that anything was done on your face, which is very important to me as a working model. I can trust her, and only her, to alter my appearance because she is the artist, a sculptor with a perfect sense of natural beauty. The face gets a little bit swollen after, but... more
"She's Excellent, and my Results Were..."
I am 37 years old, and have noticed drooping skin around my chin and jaw area in the last few years. I was recomended by a friend to visit Dr. Gladstein, so I came in for a free consultation. First of all, her office is just stunning, and I did not mind the 15 minute wait time, as I was just admiring the decor. When taken in, I was thoroughly explained my options with no pressure or sense of... more
"Sculptra Treatment Was Amazing -..."
I am a long term patient and huge fan of Dr. Kopelman. Recently, we used Sculptra to fill out facial hollows and wrinkles. As with everything he does, Dr. Kopelman exercised extreme care in how he explained, planned for, and performed the procedure. It was painless and, as always, easy, as Dr. Kopelman creates a relaxed atmosphere and is careful to continually check in to make sure his... more
"Dr. Yael Halaas - Manhattan, NY"
From the moment I walked into her office, the staff was genuine and professional...Dr Halaas herself was able to walk me through the procedure and answer my questions and concerns without me feeling that she was rushed....I can not speak highly enough of her and her staff. I will certainly recommend her to those who suffer from the same syndrome as I more
"Highly Recommended - Manhattan, NY"
Dr. Eviatar has performed Sculptra injections 2-3 times before, at 1-2 years intervals. This treatment has truly worked. He tried Radiesse before, but it was less durable/effective. I like the fact that he has experience with a range of products, so you can find exactly what works for you. Last time he was teaching a new doctor as he was injecting me and he talked her through the process. I... more
"It's a Risk to Stay Looking Younger...."
I have used Sculptra several times over the past 10 years. I have had great results and prefer to have an injection that helps to redevelop the collagen in my face. I also like the fact that it lasts longer than a filler "per se." The lumps come if you don't massage your face for the 3 days they suggest you do in order not to get the lumps...I don't know about you folks that complain - but you... more
"Could Not Be Happier. Love the..."
I started with laser for removal of sun damage and moved on to Sculptra to balance out my face.The gradual results are terrific.With no down time it was a great choice . more
"Makes me look great - Great..."
I met Dr. S through my work several years ago. Seeing the wonderful results his patients' enjoyed - I became a patient too. I have received Botox in his Manhattan office several times as well as other fillers, had a "Slup-lift about two yeats ago (which still looks great) and a course of sculptura treatments. His staff is knowledgeable and caring and make you feel at ease. He always... more
"Sculptra Amazing - No Plastic..."
I always thought I would have a face lift at 50, but after consulting with Dr Emily Altman I decided another route, Sculptra. This facial injectable replaces collagen that is lost through aging and gives you back a more youthful looking you. I chose the Sculptra procedure for two reasons, first it was non-invasive procedure that took about an hour from start to finish at the doctor's... more
"Sculptra - Side Effect? Swollen..."
I went back to my same doc who has performed lips and botox and frown line fillers on me 4x before. I have never had any side effects or complications. as a gift, he offered sculptra in my cheek areas to help "balance out my face".He did my right side apple of my cheek area, and there was no side effects - no swelling or bruising. then he started my left and all was ok. went back to... more
"Don't Trust This Stuff - It's Not..."
This product disfigured me, caused lumps, constant inflammation causing pain and distorted appearance, made me physically ill (it is a synthetic) and consequently had very negative effects on my life. AND, my doctor was a NYC "trainer" for Sculptra. So, it's NOT about finding the right injector, it's about finding an injector that cares enough about you and your health to... more
"I Had Good Results with Sculptra"
I tried other fillers over the years and while several gave me good results initially, eventually I was always disapionted because those did not last very long. I have done Sculptra several times. Several years ago, I had 5 treatments. Then, recently, three years after those first treatments, I had another two treatments to get back the volume I had lost over the three years. i did not think... more
"Sculptra Promises To Work Where..."
I'm a 38-year-old healthy male. Approximately 3 years ago I started noticing fat loss in the periorbital area, making me look tired and drawn. About 2 years ago I decided to do something about it, and started with hyluronic-acid products: Restylane, then Juvaderm. My experience with both was unsatisfactory: they were applied so superficially that I'm yet to have had a single... more
In 2003 I had severe facial lipoatrophy caused by HIV medications and I needed 6 Sculptra (at that time called New-Fill) treatments to fill the holes in my cheeks and temples. Since then all I've needed to maintain the good results I got are yearly touch-ups. It's been 5 years since my original treatments and I've never had a problem with bruising, infections or lumps under the skin. I will... more
"Sculptra by an Expert is the Best..."
Sculptra is absolutely the most effective and natural looking method for fixing facial lipoatrophy. I have tried almost every other filler; Restylane, Perlane, Juvederm, etc. and none of them provides the amazing results of Scupltra. Two caveats – you MUST use a doctor who SPECIALIZES i more
"Marginal Results, Maximum Cost"
I had moderate HIV facial wasting along with parentheses around my mouth that are genetic. I spent over $6000 in total and saw marginal results that didnt last. The Dr. kept saying "you need more". The procedure itself is torturous, and afterwards that day, you are supposed to massage your face like 4 times. It is a nightmare. Your face will look puffy and better for a couple of... more

Sexual health is a significant part of everyone's life and it is extremely important for men to take good care of their nutritional needs in order to maximize their sexual activity, sexual desire as well as performance.
The health of a man's penis also plays a critical role in his overall general health and there are many types of herbs and vitamins a man can regularly consume to make sure that his reproductive organ is in top shape at all times. Let us look into some such specific herbs and vitamins.
Vitamin C
Regular consumption of vitamin C supplements or including food items rich in vitamin C in your diet can have significant benefits for your sexual health. Vitamin C is known to play a critical role in the growth and repairing of tissues throughout human body, including the penis. It is essential for production of collagen, a type of protein which creates blood vessels and skin, both of which are main constituents of the male penis.
Click here to discover how to treat Peyronie's disease properly
As noted by the University of Maryland Medical Centre, any man suffering from sexual issues such as premature ejaculation, erectile dysfunction etc must consume regular doses of vitamin C. The recommended dosage is 250 to 500 mg per day, to be consumed either once or twice every day.
Vitamin E
Consuming vitamin E on a regular basis can be a great boost for anyone's health, more importantly if the individual is suffering from Peyronie's disease (a condition characterized by a curve or bend in the penile shaft). The development of Peyronie's disease happens due to a plaque or scar tissue in the penile shaft. It can result in excruciating pain while having erection or achieving orgasm.
Vitamin E is known to help significantly in alleviating the symptoms associated with penile curvature or Peyronie's disease. However, as also recommended by the National Institute of Health Office of Dietary Supplements, one must not consume more than 1000 to 1500 IU of vitamin E per day. Excessive consumption of vitamin E can result in a condition wherein one can experience increased bleeding at the time of receiving a cut or suffering internal injuries.
Ginseng is a type of herbal ingredient that is easily available in all drugstores and is also commonly found in various ginseng supplements and ice tea. As per the National Institute of Health and National Centre for Complementary and Alternative Medicine, ginseng is a very important herb when it comes to treatment of erectile dysfunction and improvement of stamina.
Many studies have also indicated that regular consumption of ginseng plays a key role in enhancement of sexual desire and penile function. The recommended dosage of ginseng is 200 mg per day.
Ginkgo Biloba
This medicinal herb has been in use since a long time in the treatment of disorders related to blood circulation. Regular consumption of ginkgo biloba can enhance the penile health by improving the blood circulation into the male reproductive organ. It is known to play a significant role in the treatment of erectile dysfunction as well.
Read SizeGenetics review – most effective penile curvature remedy
Since there is no concrete scientific data available to support the regular use of ginkgo biloba in the enhancement of penis health, there is no particular recommended dosage for it. However, University of Maryland Medical Centre proposes that ginkgo biloba must be taken up to 240 mg every day for improvement in circulation of blood to the penis.

Seattle Night Out
Another annual Fauntleroy event occurs on the first Tuesday of August. On Tuesday, August 4, Fauntleroy neighbors will celebrate Seattle Night Out Against Crime with multiple block parties. Night Out is an annual event that celebrates community. See photos and other information on the FCA Seattle Night Out webpage. Register your block party and street closure on the SPD Night Out webpage.
Take our survey!
Your Fauntleroy Community Association wants to know what you think! Two years ago, the Fauntleroy Community Association (FCA) sent a survey to over 3,000 Fauntleroy residents. The purpose was to find out what matters to them most, so that the FCA Board could better focus on the community's concerns.
Since that survey, FCA has taken a number of actions to address issues that residents identified. This year, we are conducting a survey that probes deeper into some of the areas we asked about before, and into some new issues that have emerged more recently.

Description: Watching a slaves tits turn a dark shade of purple really puts a smile on my face. I greatly enjoy tying my naughty slave up before giving her a good whipping. Giving my slave a good electric stimulation tit torture session also makes me happy. I love to put electrodes on her nipples and send the juice flowing. I know that is hurting her, and making her squirm, and that brings a smile to my face. Electrified purple tits... too cool for words! I also like to whip them while they have their tits tied up and the blood flow stopped. It makes the torture that much more intense.

MRRA seeks ruling on tax status of Brunswick Landing tenant
BRUNSWICK — The Midcoast Regional Redevelopment Authority is taking legal action in a bid to end a two-year tax dispute with the town.
At issue is the tax status of 93,000 square feet of MRRA-owned property at Hanger 6 at the Brunswick Executive Airport, leased to Kestrel Aircraft Co.
In a lawsuit filed late last month at Cumberland County Superior Court in Portland, MRRA asks for a declaratory judgment on the case.
The purpose of the suit is to clarify whether Kestrel's operation at the municipal airport falls under the state's definition of "aeronautical purposes," entitling the company to an exemption from municipal taxation.
Attorneys from Brunswick and MRRA interpret the statute differently, creating the current impasse that has strained relations between the two sides.
"It's just an honest disagreement that we need someone to clarify," MRRA Executive Director Steve Levesque said.
If a judge finds for MRRA, Brunswick could be forced to repay MRRA almost $238,000 in taxes the agency paid on behalf of the aircraft company in the past two years. The town could also be required to declare the hanger space as tax-exempt for the duration of Kestrel's 20-year lease.
Despite the financial stakes, both sides are eager for a judge's ruling on whether the statute applies to Kestrel.
"This is going to clear up the issue once and for all," said Levesque, adding that a court judgement is preferable to bringing the case into a lengthy and expensive process before the state's Board of Appeals.
Last August, MRRA and the town assessor, Cathleen M. Donovan, asked the Brunswick Board of Assessment Review to indefinitely postpone its proceedings on MRRA's appeal of its tax status to avoid a decision that could take the case to the state level, Levesque noted.
Interim Town Manager John Eldridge said the town does not consider the suit adversarial, and agreed that a ruling may finally clear up the issue.
MRRA is arguing that state law exempts Kestrel from paying property taxes, because the space it leases at the municipal airport is used for "exclusively aeronautic purposes."
The company uses the space it leases from MRRA to research, design and construct a new composite-material passenger aircraft. A prototype airplane is being tested, but the company has not yet started commercial production.
The company's business, as well as the fact that it also employs certified aircraft mechanics and provides repair and maintenance services to the general public, firmly puts it within the state's definition of aeronautics, MRRA argues.
Brunswick's attorneys argue that Kestrel's focus on research and development, not full-time aircraft construction or maintenance, means it should not be given a tax exemption.
In contrast, Tempus Jets, the aircraft maintenance and refurbishment company that began leasing space in Hanger 6 last September, is considered exempt because its work clearly falls under the state's aeronautical definition, Assessor Cathleen Donovan said.
The town has until the end of the month to respond to the lawsuit. Levesque said he was optimistic that a decision could be reached in the case within a few months.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — Oil futures settled a bit higher Monday to reclaim $102-a-barrel level as news that President Barack Obama was going to meet with congressional leaders raised the likelihood of a debt-ceiling deal.
But pressure from the budget standoff in Washington that has partially shut down the government for 14 days and caused the Energy Information Administration's closure late last week, along with data showing a fall in China's September exports, kept a cap on oil's gains.
Crude oil for November delivery US:CLX3 tacked on 39 cents, or 0.4%, to settle at $102.41 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange after touching lows near $101.
"It looks like oil prices are trying to take a ride with a possible debt deal this afternoon, overriding the weak China trade data this morning, hoping instead that everything will take off on a possible debt solution," said Richard Hastings, a macro strategist at Global Hunter Securities.
Data Monday showed that exports from China, the world's second-biggest crude consumer, unexpectedly declined last month. In addition, China's consumer-price index rose 3.1% in September, accelerating from a 2.6% gain in August.
But in the U.S., Obama was scheduled to meet Monday at 3 p.m. Eastern with congressional leaders of both parties. After the Nymex oil trading session ended, the White House said that meeting was postponed to allow leaders in the Senate time to continue making progress toward a solution to raise the debt limit and reopen the government.
"Uncertainty over the U.S. political deadlock is heavily influencing the demand for crude oil," said Naeem Aslam, chief market analyst at AvaTrade, in emailed comments. "The politicians in Washington need to stop playing this rotten game with the markets and stop testing the exhaustion level of traders."
EIA shuts operations
The shutdown has caused the delay of many government-issued economic data and the oil market will have even less information to guide trading this week.
Following a "lapse in appropriations," an EIA spokesman said that as of the end of last Friday, the EIA ceased operations and furloughed EIA staff.
That means that the agency will not be issuing any reports, including the weekly petroleum supply update that would have been released on Wednesdays and the natural-gas supply data usually due Thursdays.
Without the government supply data, "for the trading market, the natural process will be to discover what makes the price move the most, the fastest, in response to what type of data event," said Hastings.
With or without the weekly EIA supply data, 'markets have a natural appetite for catalysts and they will sniff them out and trade them.'
"It might be data from private industry sources, or oil import news like China's earlier this morning Asia time," he said, "but the weekly rhythm of trading actions associated with EIA data events will naturally switch gears to discover less periodic news events.
"Markets have a natural appetite for catalysts and they will sniff them out and trade them," he added.

Under other circumstances, Ryan Braun would have a real chance to repeat as National League MVP given how well he performed in 2012.
Mr. Braun is a mere 0.4 games behind San Francisco's Buster Posey for the highest WAR (wins above replacement) in the NL. Using more traditional metrics, he's first in runs scored, second in hits, first in home runs, second in RBI, third in batting average, and first in OPS (on-base percentage plus slugging percentage).
But unlike fellow competitors for this year's award (including Mr. Posey, Andrew McCutchen of Pittsburgh, David Wright of the NY Mets, and Yadier Molina of St Louis), Mr. Braun is the one player that has to overcome the 2011 off-season shadows of a positive test for PEDs.
Though Mr. Braun won his appeal of the suspension in February 2012, he certainly did not see any short-run spikes in endorsements or licensing/merchandise revenue that may otherwise been earned…as is customary with first-time league MVPs with an otherwise clean-cut, good-looking image.
The Baseball Writers Association of America determine each league's MVP, and in 2012, their decisions are unique for different reasons.
In the American League, it is being billed as old school versus new school. Miguel Cabrera leads in all the traditional metrics and won the Triple Crown, but Mike Trout has the far superior WAR (wins above replacement) which Sabermetricians argue is the better gauge of overall productivity.
In the National League, however, their decision is unique because they may choose to ignore the best candidate in Mr. Braun because of his recent PED ties…even if they were overturned on what some might call a technicality.
Though I suspect that the BWAA would be less likely to discriminate against Mr. Braun with respect to MVP voting if he were to duplicate his efforts in 2013, there is no doubt that the BWAA would hold a one-year grudge against Braun at the very least.
After all, rightly or wrongly, the BWAA – who also determine who gets into baseball's Hall of Fame in Cooperstown – has demonstrated similar vitriol towards retired stars that otherwise would be no doubt Hall of Famers but for their ties to PEDs during baseball's so-called Steroids Era.

Ten Facts about Males and Eating Disorders*
- 25-40% of people with eating disorders are males (Hudson, 2007).
- As many men as women want to change their weight (Andersen, 2000).
- Men engage in eating-disordered behaviors nearly as often as women (Mond, 2013).
- Eating disorders assessment tests underscore males (Darcy, 2014).
- Additionally, prevalence of eating disorders in males is greater than estimated because men are often too stigmatized to seek treatment for "women's problems." (Cohn, 2013)
- Despite popular beliefs, eating disorders have never been "women's diseases," and professionals in the field are realizing this fact more and more (Cohn, 2014).
- The earliest case descriptions of anorexia nervosa by Richard Morton in 1690 included cases of a man and a woman (Andersen, 2014).
- Media objectification and sexualization of males is just as rampant as for females (Cohn, 2013).
- A high percentage of comorbid conditions exist for males in treatment, such as excessive exercise, poor body image, and issues with sexuality (Weltzin, 2014)
- Attention to gender dynamics is critical in the process of treatment (Bunnell, 2014).

Buy a building for my office.
by marlabt, Window Shopper
- Created: June 5, 2013, 3:16 pm
I have a small consulting business (about 10 years) in a building that is being sold and do not want to pay what they are asking for this building. I have found an interesting option. The building I have found has possible historic significance to this community in that it is one of the original township buildings built in 1880. It will take a little work on the inside (add a couple walls)to convert it to my needs and there is a cafe already in part of the building that would like to stay. Considering the amount of space I need, there is room to rent out the rest of the space. What are the best financing options?

program to find out if they offer any funding assistance. Then, check with a
mortgage lender.

Cold Called Message
This is the letter I wrote to Ms. Wade, a family friend and a Peace Corps Volunteer. I had to write her through Facebook because she has limited phone service and even more limited time.
Dear Ms.Wade,
I'm not sure if you remember me, but I am Ginnette Ilsley's daughter and Lorrie Ilsley's niece, Julia. I am currently working on a school project called Roadtrip Nation which involves discovering the direction you wish for your life to go in. I am hoping to join the Peace Corps one day, and I know that you are currently serving in Nicaragua.
One of the requirements of the project is to have an interview with an expert in the field you wish to work in. If it isn't too much trouble, I was wondering if you could very briefly (only a few sentences) answer the following questions:
1. Have you always known that you wanted to join the Peace Corps.?
2. How has your experience been thus far? What have you learned?
3. What is the hardest part of this experience?
4. How do you recommend a person prepare themselves for joining the Peace Corps?
5. What is one way you have changed through this process?
I understand completely if you do not have the time to complete this. I know you must be very busy! I hope you are having a wonderful experience.
Thank you,
Julia Ilsley

Google exec admits Honeycomb will be tablet only for time being.
Android 3.0 Honeycomb is undoubtedly going to give Apple's iOS a hell of a lot to think about when it lands on a slew of killer tablets in the next few months.
But the latest version of Google's open source OS, revealed in full at a San Francisco event yesterday, is still some way off heading to smartphones. That's according to Google's Hugo Barra, who admitted that plans to move cross platform were still sketchy.
Quizzed about when Honeycomb's features would be heading to Android blowers, Barra said, "We really don't know," he said. "That's a conversation we are just beginning to have right now internally with the team."
That will no doubt concern those who think Android, while surging ahead, is becoming fragmented beyond repair. Barra did say, though, that some Honeycomb skills will be heading to mobiles at some point. "A lot of the things we have created for Honeycomb will make their way back into phones as well–things like the visual themes, some of the thinking on notifications, for example."
That suggests that any mobile update will have a different code name, with Honeycomb reserved solely for slates. Is Google allowing its OS to become fragmented too easily? Or do you prefer its open platform? Tell us what you think on our Facebook and Twitter pages now.
