Defense budgets are being cut as governments rein in spending. As a consequence, the role of armed forces in Europe is changing - with less emphasis on large-scale expeditionary operations and greater focus on smaller contingencies and capacity building. This shift in emphasis of mission is reflected in a major restructuring across all elements of military capability while investment in new battle winning capabilities such as iSTAR continues. As well as structural changes to uniformed organizations and an increased emphasis on reserves, defense is looking urgently to remove the high frictional costs within its operational and corporate support processes, including property, finance, HR, support chain, commercial models and defense acquisition. Finally, there is renewed impetus on homeland security and resilience capabilities with particular emphasis on cyber and intelligence.
The aerospace and defense industry is having to adapt to meet the challenges within this new environment and an increasingly globalized defense and security market. In a shrinking market, international collaboration and global defense platforms are key. The industry faces a constantly changing regulatory environment, ever-developing technologies and new approaches to contracting, including an increased desire for it to take on and manage greater risk. At the same time, defense customers expect ever quicker responses to evolving threats through accelerated procurements to satisfy urgent operational requirements.
Our responsiveness and flexibility keeps our business and technology services in high demand. We have many consultants with over ten years of defense experience both in and out of uniform. In addition, we draw on extensive experience in other parallel sectors to maintain innovation and focus on best practice. Our key area of focus is transformation, including performance management, information management, IT Strategy (C4ISR), defense logistics and supply chain and operational processes. We aim to enable improved decision-making and increased operational effectiveness while delivering gains in economy and performance.
Applying new structures and management systems to improve the normal time efficiency of the defense organization and thus improving crisis time effectiveness.
BearingPoint Logistics Strategy & Optimization helps the defense industry redefine its logistics networks in order to increase flexibility and/or agility.
Here's how your function relates to what we offer.
We have a strong teaming ethos, working in joint teams with clients to achieve better results. We bring deep understanding of the business environment and external trends to help our clients design and deliver the required results. Our consultants combine a deep knowledge and experience of the defense sector with technical know-how and an ability to draw from our extensive knowledge pool to create solutions with real business value. We offer a real commitment to our clients to deliver excellence together.

Esquire: He's Not High – Inside Barney Frank's Plan to Legalize Marijuana
While Congress debates health care, handles the economic downturn, and the quagmire in Afghanistan, Congressman Barney Frank is eyeing America's draconian pot policies. Read Esquire's exclusive interview.
By: John H. Richardson, Esquire Magazine
To my shame, I started my interview with Congressman Barney Frank about the legalization of marijuana by apologizing to my subject. "I know you guys have a lot on your plate these days, so I'm sorry to be calling you about something kind of trivial…"Then I did a rapid midcourse correction. "But it's not trivial, because people go to jail over it."
"That's exactly right," Frank said.
We were talking about the Personal Use of Marijuana by Responsible Adults Act of 2009, Frank's latest attempt to bring sanity to the federal marijuana laws. Currently, pot is classified as a Schedule I Controlled Dangerous Substance under federal law, which makes it worse than morphine, cocaine, amphetamine, and PCP. Possession of a single joint carries a penalty of $1,000 and a year in prison – a charge faced by about 800,000 American citizens every year. This is the government whose judgment on war and economics we are supposed to respect.
So I started the interview over.
ESQUIRE: Could you tell me why you're doing it at this time? Everybody says you guys have got so much to handle right now.
BARNEY FRANK: Announcing that the government should mind its own business on marijuana is really not that hard. There's not a lot of complexity here. We should stop treating people as criminals because they smoke marijuana. The problem is the political will.
ESQ: That's my second question. There's already been a lot of change in the country. Thirteen states have decriminalized pot. What's holding up Congress?
BF: This is a case where there's cultural lag on the part of my colleagues. If you ask them privately, they don't think it's a terrible thing. But they're afraid of being portrayed as soft on drugs. And by the way, the argument is, nobody ever gets arrested for it. But we have this outrageous case in New York where a cop jammed a baton up a guy's ass when he caught him smoking marijuana.
ESQ: You're kidding.
BF: Actually, I've just been corrected by my partner – it was a radio he jammed up the guy's ass, not his baton.
ESQ: Small radio, I hope.
BF: By the way, the bill is bi-partisan: I've got two Democrats and two Republicans.
ESQ: Who are the Republicans?
BF: Ron Paul. And Dana Rohrabacher from California.
ESQ: Isn't Rohrabacher pretty hard-right?
BF: He's a very conservative guy, but with a libertarian streak.
ESQ: That libertarian streak will help you out once in a while. And who's against it?
BF: Well, Mark Souder from Indiana, who's very much a proponent of the drug war.
ESQ: When you talk to Souder about it, what does he say?
BF: You don't waste your time on people with whom you completely disagree.
ESQ: Okay.
BF: Here's one thing I would say – there's a great intellectual flaw at work here. People say, "Oh, you want the government to approve of smoking marijuana." And the answer is, no, there should be a small number of things that the government makes illegal, but the great bulk of human activity ought to be none of the government's business. People can make their own choices.
ESQ: What about the "public-square" argument that we need to keep prostitutes off the streets and pot-smokers on the run in order to promote a higher level of morality and civic order?
BF: One, I don't think it's immoral to smoke cigarettes or drink alcohol, even though they may make you sick. Morality to me is the way you treat other people, not the way you treat yourself. John Stuart Mill's On Liberty makes a great deal of sense in that regard. I wish more people read him.
ESQ: My father forced me to read On Liberty when I was fourteen years old. I still haven't recovered.
BF: He deals very thoughtfully with some of the objections.
ESQ: Then let me ask you from the other side: Why is the bill so modest? You explicitly say you're not going to overturn state laws.
BF: Because I think it's important, when you're confronting political opinions this way, to make it easier for people. This isn't for drug dealers. Although I do think there's a logic that once you've allowed people to smoke, you're going to go beyond that.
ESQ: So how far do you really want to go? Decriminalize completely? Tax it, like they're talking about out in California?
BF: I don't think that's a debate I should get into right now.
ESQ: So you want to be a cautious centrist, waiting for the country to come around?
BF: [pause] You think this is centrist?
ESQ: [laughs] Okay, sorry.
BF: I must say, I don't have a lot of sympathy with people on the left who say, "Oh, I'm not going to settle for some small step, I'm going to take the big step." I'm doing something I think could be passable. I believe the results of modest beginnings will encourage people to go further. And if the people who disagree with me are right, it won't go further.
ESQ: Realistically, do you think it's going to pass?
BF: Not this year, no.
ESQ: How long do you think it will take?
BF: There's no point in my guessing. Why would I want to guess? We'll have a rational discussion, and we'll see where it goes from there.
While We're Here, One Final Hit on the Topic
Meanwhile, in the wacky world of Republicans who love liberty almost as much as they love prisons, an Illinois congressman named Mark Kirk has proposed a competing law to make selling "this new potent marijuana" punishable by $1 million in fines and 25 years in prison. Apparently Kirk is talking about something called "kush," which I cannot personally evaluate since I am A) not currently a pot-smoker, and B) too crippled by college bills to afford anything that costs $600 an ounce. But for those old-fashioned reality-based types who care about scientific evidence, here's what the guys in white lab coats say

I encourage anyone who reads this to contact Mark Kirk and tell him what you think. I think they need another reminder…
What does Paul Krugman think of legalization? Milton Friedman, now deceased Noble Prize winner, favored cannabis legalization.
Mr. Frank has my full support. It is only a matter of time now for the truth and scientific fact to expose those who profiteer at the expense of our civil right and liberty. When that day comes we should hold no quarter and be no less aggressive in demanding just compensation for their willful and criminal abuse of our constitution and our founding father's wisdom. We have been given no quarter, only lies and propaganda. At what point in time do we the people believe in our government again? When they are truthful, fair,equal and just. No political or religious group has the right to dictate to me what I should believe or have a right to vote on. It is my will that will never be swayed from the truth. That is where our strength check mates their greed and desire to hold power unjustly over our fellow citizens. I am ready for this snowball to avalanche over this corrupt system. (added by Mobile using Mippin)
Well …here we are,we've stripped down all of prohibitionist reasons for keeping cannabis illegal. Given them no room to move in and it comes down to this….Money and power. The last two things keeping a draconian law intact. Who has whos hands in whos pockets,who is using their political power to keep the taxes flowing into the whos who pockets.
Well… WHO GIVES A HOOT!
If money and power are all thats keeping this crappy law intact..well …that says alot about those keeping cannabis illegal.
Hypocritical power mongers…thats what it says.
I urge members of Congress to pass two bills (neither of which deals with marijuana directly).
1) State and Government Agencies (Police, DEA, ONDCP, etc.) can not in any way or form lobby political employees. *** I just thought that politicians being lobbied with tax payer dollars is kind of ridiculous.
2) Pharmaceutical Corporations must stop and can not advertise their products to the public. This means the end of television and newspaper/magazine articles for pills.
UNTIL THESE ARE PASSED… marijuana will never be legal.
(I posted this on the previous blog)
Rick/tenn activist @ 114:
Wow rick! I think thats the first time I've seen you so verbal! I feel like that always! What do these pricks care bout us. Long as they keep us under boot, they could care less. FFS you see states that cant make thier budget and what do they do first? They start cutting the poor and education. NOT thier pet projects,not their 6 figure incomes or entitlements…the poor. Tell us to tighten our belts while they let theirs out a notch.How much of a raise did our leaders give themselves this last time? 17% ? Dont hear that on mainstream media do we?
Something thats bothering me is some of the laws they have or are slipping passed everyone. Obama said no taxes on those that make 250k or less? Well thats funny, they change some wording then introduce a bill called cap and trade,other wise known as a tax on everyone for everything they buy. But they refuse to tax cannabis? WTF is going on in this country?
I believe in our fight here,but, I see our leaders moving us toward total ban on all things deemed bad for us,alcohol and tobacco included. I see our laws becoming tighter and stricter via laws we know nothing about. How many times of late have laws been signed that nobody even read?How many of the masses REALLY had a say or agreed to these bils and laws? I dont like to sound biblical, I question things of that nature as much as I do every thing else around me,but if there is an end coming many of the things happening sure point to it.
There are many countries around the world that are laughing…LAUGHING at us here in the US. They see how our leaders are driving us into the ground,they see how our leaders self importance is ruining this great land.They and our enemies dont need to attack us,we are detroying ourselves. Our leaders ,I feel ,Dont think their 'RULE' can end. It can…swiftly.
Where do we go from here? One day at a time til the truth is revealed, for the lust for greed and power will surely take this country there.
I must sign off now…
Barney Frank has my full support. Smalls steps towards progress – small – but still a step forward.
Keep up the good fight everyone!
[…] here to see the original: Esquire: He's Not High – Inside Barney Frank's Plan to Legalize Marijuana Share and […]
3 Cliff…May I refer you to 114 Simple Marijuana Bust Leads to Government Banning Free Speach. I hope that does it for you.
I Think we should pass a bill to make Kirk rename himself to Klingon!
Behind closed doors other congressmen dont hav a problem with it? Well that shitty they feel that way but dont do shit about it.
It's all about getting votes isn't it folks? Barney Frank is tapping into 60% of American voters who favor marijuana legalization, that's a smart move politically.
The point that Barney makes that the government has too much say in what we choose for ourselves is a profound statement and rightfully so. What kind of defense is that against being busted for MJ? I think we have a long road to travel on MJ issues. I'm not being sarcastic when I say, I believe the end of the world will come first before Americans legalize MJ.
Hahahaha. Frank's such a bad ass. His feelings on the passing of the bill are a little disheartening, but his passion and realistic view on it (One step at a time) is equally encouraging.
We may have won so many people who get refused medical will now be able o treat themselves if passed. Now let's hope it passes within the fiscal year
Hell yeah Mr Frank I wish u were our govnr here in iowa but time is everything,n its coming
Mr. Frank is exactlly the kind of politician we should all be supporting in his efforts to bring back our freedoms. His statement about what people choose to do should not be the governments business is absolutely correct. Everything he said in this interveiw was right on the mark. I will be contacting his office to see what I can do to help. I hope ypu will all do the same. Mr. Frank, Mr. Paul and Mr. Webb all deserve our thanks and any help we can provide them. Thanks NORML for a great and inspiring article.
more people die a year from cigarettes and alcohol than have ever died from marijuana so y not legalize it because cigarettes and alcohol are legal and kill people all the time..and marijuana has not harmed anyone and is illegal…..something is wrong with that picture right
This dude also sponsered hr 875 witch is any herb smokers worst nightmare . He only seeks votes. GET YOUR HAND OUT MY POCKET!!!!!
ok here is what confuses me when norml and mpp called for a boycott kellogs for dropping their sponsership of phelps kellogs consumer rating droped severly.why not just say if the marijuana laws don't change don't plan on being re-elected
It's good to see some positive posts. I was getting a headache reading the last page
by posts i mean on the main page.
hes got my support
Can we clone this guy and replace the representatives that still advocate putting more of us in jail? For simply feeling we should have freedom of choice!!
Legalize it.
Support this bill and write your rep.'s
We are so used to slamming the opposition, we sometimes get carried away. If you think we anti-prohibs have it tough trying to make a point…can you imagine how tough it is for him to "STAND UP" in the middle of all those ??????? and fight for whta's right. Let's give him, at least credit for doing so, even if he has alterior motives. Remember…he is a politician. If he fucks up…we can always reconsider our vote. For our sake, let's hope he doesn't…and
…is sincere. He has my vote. But remember too…we voters can be very fickle.
Ron Paul 2008……..
Gary Johnson 2012.
..maybe by 2137….after 200 years of prohibition, will anything change. Just not in our lifetime. Sorry, truth hurts.
"BF: I must say, I don't have a lot of sympathy with people on the left who say, 'Oh, I'm not going to settle for some small step, I'm going to take the big step.' I'm doing something I think could be passable. I believe the results of modest beginnings will encourage people to go further. And if the people who disagree with me are right, it won't go further."
What is he talking about here? What qualifies as a modest beginning? What does he mean, "And if the people who disagree with me are right, it won't go further."
This is not an issue that is available to social progress or ending poverty or any such massive kind of change requiring epochs of confrontation. All it takes is a few things done right the first time. The whole "medical marijuana" thing has done nothing but make things worse.
Does Barney Frank think that the people who disagree with him about decriminalization might be right? Is that what he is talking about? If he is going to concede that, he should explain exactly where he thinks they might be right so that he can be set straight.
Barney Frank needs to demonstrate that as far cannabis is concerned, he is willing to take on some real responsibilities and not just look for attention.
Barney just said what I've been saying all along. This little step forward is not so little when you consider that it is a step that leads to other larger steps. Without this smaller step first, the larger steps will NEVER come to light. This small step un-locks and opens the door so to speak, a door that has been closed for decades. Once the door is opened, larger steps can be taken as we enter thru the opened door.
Don't put all your trust in Frank..
Barney Frank caught in a lie:
Abso-freaking-lutely Chris @19 , Thats what many of us are saying , If they dont change the laws, they wont get re-elected. Here is a saying we could use… re-legalize….re-elect, no legalize…no elect. Just a thought.
I completely support Mr. Frank's Bill. Make sure to email Kirk and tell him what u think I just did…
Barny Frank is actually an idiot. However even a broken clock is right twice a day. Keep the ball moving, even if these bills do not pass the pressure is getting cranked up on the people standing in the way of legalization.
WHAT A WISE, INTELIGENT,HONEST PERSON is doing in CONGRESS I will never know but GOD BLESS HIM. I AM A PROUD CHRISTIAN AND I FOLLOW THE BIBLES TEACHINGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's kinda a shame that Barney Frank is the one who is spearheading this movement in Congress. The guy is a complete scumbag. Back in the 90s, he was caught by law enforcement running a male child prostitution ring OUT OF HIS OWN HOME, but curiously he was never acquitted, the whole thing just went hush hush. His list of clients included many prominent people, so it is no surprise that this was swept under the rug.
On a brighter note, at least SOMEbody is getting the job done!
The reality is Mr. Frank was a key player in the destruction of the housing market with his insistence on the softening lending rules the ruined economy that followed…Yeah, "Rah-rah-rah legelize blah-blah-blah"
Becareful of who you wave a flag for and who you want to represent the cause, it may just further erode our argument. His credibilty is shit imho.
Thats like having Ted Kennedy represent the loosening of alcohol laws…bad idea.
We are gaining momentum and at this point don't have to ride the jock of any "official" that happens to agree with us. We must be selective and strategic to sway the majority.
As in, if Al Franken shows interest in the cause…RUN THE OTHER WAY!
Wake up people…..the good book says, all seed bearing herbs should be used for your food, and medicine, what would Washington, Jefferson, Franklin, have to say? Land of the FREE??? I'm sure they are rolling over in their graves!!!!!!!!!!
I agree with post 19.
We should organize a boycott of these officials letting them know that if they don't vote for the bill too not count on being re-elected.
We also need to make sure they understand; this isn't about stopping the drug war completely this is about keeping sick and pain stricken patients from living in agony. It's also about; getting the research done, that needs to be done, to most effectively treat illnesses using Medical Cannabis.
These politicians could be effectively prolonging the existence of some afflictions just by the fact that Medical Cannabis has been found, in ancient and modern studies, to treat a wide range of symptoms and to control inflammation better than most/or-all known agents.
That right there proves that real research needs to be done and that maybe the reason it's not being done has to do with someones pockets getting lined as long as we all stay sick… If that's true then there needs to be a big change in what's allowable in running this country because at this point it's like there's know oversight by the general public. All we can do is complain and open cases with the supreme court in hopes that someone will listen. If everyone we're trying to get to listen is being controlled by money and influence it's a sad day in this country.
I really wish Washington could have had is voice heard more clearly when he said the two party system would be the downfall of the country. I really wish the things he wanted written into the constitution that would have guaranteed the government's limits, to control what a citizen can and can't do; would have been put in… I wish the government would stop trying to mother people using the laws, and start focusing on running the country and the safety of the citizens. That doesn't mean you go as far as to tell them what they can and can't put in their own body, it means; You keep murderers and rapists off the streets, you start inner-city programs to give kids and teens something to do other then joining a gang, You actively teach teens the dangers of being in a gang, and help people that want to get off of drugs do so without locking them up when they ask for help, and making sure there are set places where the so called taboo behavior is okay. That would be like the red light district in Amsterdam. See the difference is, you don't have to allow the activity to spill into the streets or women in windows, you can set restrictions on what the area can look like, what ages are allowed in the areas without an adult and what is allowed behind closed doors.
You see there all afraid that allowing use would eventually mean everything would be okay, but even if it is, it was none of there business in the first place. The government isn't here to be mommy and daddy to everyone, it's here to keep the citizens safe from other citizens and hostile people outside the country, not keep citizens safe from themselves. If someone is only putting there self at risk and no one else, even unknowingly, then there is no reason to try to stop them from doing what they're doing unless they ask for help. If someone asks for help and you can and want to help then by all means help, but don't base the rights of the many on the actions of the few. Just because some idiot smokes too much weed and was doing it just to get high and then moves on too harder drugs, doesn't mean everyone else is going too. Things need to be looked at in more of a case by case outlook.
The people stopping this movement are keeping sick, tortured, and dieing patients from getting the alternative care they need.
There are a lot of patients in the USA that are getting sicker from the medications they're using, when they could move off of those medications and focus on alternative medicine.
There are so many cases of people that had medically documented visible issues that were treated just by using Medical Cannabis, and they just keep ignoring them.
We need to find a way to show them all these positive cases of people who were at their worst and then had their life turn around for the positive after getting off of toxic medications and onto Medical Cannabis. There are people that run large businesses that use MC just about every day and are perfectly capable to do their job.
These people in most cases are just trying to control symptoms not escape reality. They are coherent and most are actually more productive because their symptoms that usually give them so much trouble are controlled.
We need to get this out there and change the way the public views Medical Cannabis patients and Medical Cannabis in general. At this point every time Medical Cannabis is mentioned to a conservative mind; they picture wood stock then move the people off of the field and into the streets of a major city or town. I know it's stupid to you guys and myself because most of the off the wall stuff going on at woodstock was Heroine and strong-Opiate-painkiller driven (ie., Morphine).
One day that conservative view will be changed, but not until we prove to them that; that is just not the way we are. We need to prove: we're just normal citizens in a lot of pain and excess discomfort, that are looking for an alternative way out. We need to prove that: we plan to run legitimate businesses, that don't bring the quality of the neighborhood they're in down but, that actually fit in to the area they're in and are respectfully run.
We need to change ourselves so that we're more friendly and trusting like we used to be.
I'll end with this.

Please support this bill. Help California and its people. Write to your Representatives PLEASE!
Barney Frank is a OWNED by the international banksters. If he can stop the Audit the Fed bill that has by partisan support and is co-sponsered by over 200 memebers of the house then he can get a decrim bill through, but apparentally he doesnt want to. This bill basically is all show. How many people get busted with less than 100 grams by the federdal govt each year ? Its very very low. Most possession charges are from state and local police, so his bill will do very little and wont effect almost any smokers. Frank and his bill are WEAK SAUCE !
First, to all you Barney Frank bashers: just what have you been doing with YOUR time?
Secondly, the most important comment here was one made by Plain and Simple:
1) State and Government Agencies (Police, DEA, ONDCP, etc.) can NOT be allowed to lobby political employees.
2) Pharmaceutical Corporations must be prohibited from advertising their products directly to the public.
I fully support eliminating these two practices. They hold prohibition in place, an are questionable at best.
The first puts children (and adults) at risk for pharmaceutical drug abuse, the second is arguably an unconstitutional conflict of interest.
To this list I would add immediate repeal of the seizure and forfeiture laws.
BF is a a complete fuck. this is the only issue he has common sense with.
Even though he is more progressive than many, Mr. Frank is still a politician, read his responses closely and you will see. Why is it that such an issue as this is not put to the popular vote? I remember in college my teacher told me that public health issues were delegated to the states by the Constitution. It seems to me that the Constitution is abused wholesale today, touted by the powers that be when it is convenient, and ignored when it contradicts their current agenda.
Gee! I thought everyone was on common ground. Vote yes on cannabis, or dig a political hole. PROHIBS have to know that though. Be verbally active to them. We can't turn our anger on ourselves.
The payola PROHIBS are getting from the pharma-beast is going to be 100% of nothing. Can't get it if they're not in office. I wouldn't think for a New York minute PROHIBS are unsophisticated enough to stand against an 85% of the voting public in favor of legalizing medicinal marijuana. There's some pissed-off puppies out there, and their vocabulary is containing more and more everyday, words like CIVIL WAR…REVOLT…and things you just never hear from law abidding citizens. Mr. & Mrs. PROHIBITIONIST… as the X'ers (born between 1960-1980…85 million of them…the largest voting block in the U.S.A.) say "DEAL WITH IT!"
I think we should start a national petition of citizens that want sanity brought back to Washington. When we've gotten all the signatures we can; we should go public with the numbers sending the petition to every major media outlet, and the house and senate as well. If we make it obvious that this isn't going away they may actually start listening.
So far the FBI/DEA have been taking matters into their own hands because they are allowed because of the classification of Cannabis, but Ugh said it best :
Quote[Ugh]: "I remember in college my teacher told me that public health issues were delegated to the states by the Constitution. It seems to me that the Constitution is abused wholesale today…"
Yes Ugh my US Gov. Teacher told us the same thing soon after Bush made the comments that He could Federally disregard California's Medicinal Cannabis laws because of Marijuana's classification under controlled substance laws. The FBI/DEA under control still by former administration advisers is continuing this anti-democratic escapade. That's why this law needs to pass so that the FBI/DEA can not use the current gray area against state law abiding citizens; just because they don't agree with the state laws.
Also we need to work out something to have better guidelines surrounding Co-ops and dispensaries because the places that are getting hit are the ones pushing the limits too far or not doing things that would keep them out of trouble in the first place.
Patients need safe access to there Medical Cannabis the FBI/DEA need to stop taking these places down unless they are trafficking Cannabis grown by these Mexican Cartels. If they are then make sure they know what they're doing is hurting our security and watch them for a while to make sure they don't buy off of known cartel brokers. The best way to keep the Cartels out of the Market is to let the US growers know that as long as they aren't selling on the street to non-patients; that they don't have anything to worry about. Also we should maybe start a grower registration program so that growers can be checked to make sure they don't have Cartel or Gang ties.
Just a thought..
Every time I see this guys Elmer Fudd face, or hear his Elmer Fudd voice, I am taken back a step or two, especially because I know his complete background, and it isn't one that I real in favor of. But…he is a soldier in this cause, and for that I consider the merit of his actions. Be verwy, verwy quiet…I'm hunting wabbit, aka marwywanna.
Booze will mess you up a lot more than pot. If the government legalized it and taxed it, we would have no deficit and quite a healthy country bank roll.

Germain Motor Company, Friends of Foster Children, and The Rotary Club of Naples have teamed up for the past 11 years to take children in the foster care system on a special holiday shopping program.
The "Child's Gift of Giving" holiday luncheon is hosted by a local Germain dealership and takes place on a Sunday in December. Children and volunteer mentors shop, purchase and wrap hundreds of presents for the families of more than 80 children in the foster care system selected by Friends of Foster Children. Friends of Foster Children, The Rotary Club of Naples and Germain Motor Company provide volunteer mentors to shop with the children. Germain Motor Company provides funding for the event.
Children must be between the ages of 7 and 18 years old. They are given $100 to shop for Christmas presents for their family and $25 to buy something for themselves. Each child is matched with a mentor. After each child purchases their gifts, they are transported in limousines to a Germain dealership to wrap presents and to have a holiday lunch. Wrapping paper and supplies are provided. "The children really enjoy this day and are so appreciative they would not otherwise be able to say thank you to the families that help them," says Dana Perkins, Marketing Director for Germain.

as an expert troll i must say it is the other way around. He's trolling us at this point, might as well make it entertaining vs waiting for the "big meltdown" that might not happen
Jay may have more skills in life, but if there are two of which we on TA are aware, his aptitude for unusual defecation and for trolling can't really be questioned at this point.

All Allyson and her friends want is a peaceful, grown-up evening of dinner and conversation ... a long-needed moms' night out.

MOMS' NIGHT OUT is an endearing true-to-life family comedy that celebrates the beautiful mess called parenting.
If you are a pastor, MOPS leader, church leader, ministry leader, blogger, or business leader, secure your seats today. This is a night you will not want to miss.

Gray, Schorsch, Sternlicht Sweep Top Executive of the Year Awards
By Suzann D. Silverman, Editorial Director
With The Blackstone Group continuing to make headlines with its fast pace of acquisitions, perhaps it is no surprise that global head of real estate Jonathan Gray once again led the list of CPE Executives of the Year. In fact, Gray received two top honors in the longstanding, peer-voted competition this year: Not only was he selected for the top award for the third year in a row, he was named Investor of the Year, as well.
Also noteworthy was the fact that the same three executives took the top two categories, with the honorable mention accolades for both of those awards going to Nicholas Schorsch, chairman & CEO, American Realty Capital, and Barry Sternlicht, chairman & CEO, Starwood Capital Group.
The only other executive to receive two first-place awards was Jeff Hines. Also a repeat winner, the president & CEO of Hines this year was named both Developer of the Year and Office Property Executive of the Year. Last year, Hines won honorable mention in the Executive of the Year and Sustainability Executive of the Year categories.
Lauralee Martin also won two honorable mentions: In a vote that took place shortly before her move from CEO of the Americas for Jones Lang LaSalle Inc. to CEO of HCP, Martin won honors in both the Service Executive of the Year and Female Leader of the Year categories.
Two executives moved up the ranks in their categories this year: Both Robert Merck and T. Wilson Eglin won honorable mentions last year and first place this year, Merck as Financier of the Year and Eglin as Net Lease Executive of the Year.
Recognized this year for Lifetime Achievement was Stephen Ross, chairman of The Related Cos. Noted for his numerous iconic master-planned developments as well as extensive efforts in affordable housing and philanthropy, Ross now has underway yet another groundbreaking project: the redevelopment of the railyards on Manhattan's West Side into the huge Hudson Yards mixed-use complex. Meanwhile, Toby Bozzuto, president of The Bozzuto Group, took home honors as this year's Rising Leader.
The awards, now in their 17th year, are unique as a peer-voted program among commercial real estate executives. First-place and honorable mention positions are determined by members of the distinguished CPE 100 leadership advisory board, which vote on a ballot put together by the CPE editorial team.
The winners, whose accomplishments are detailed in CPE's December 2013 issue, are as follows:

I have a fairly basic PHP/mySQL database. Actually I'm just talking about the scripts (there are 3), there's no data in the database, so I don't care about that. I need to convert my PHP scripts to work with MsSQL instead of mySQL. I can't find any references for this. Does someone know where I can find a basic conversion chart (wishful thinking). Like I said this is a small project with only a few sql queries, but I can't find any literature on this. Please help.
NOTE: To be more specific I need to know the differences in the way you connect to the database, write the actual queries, and name the columbs in the database. Thanks.

I went to see NYCB again on Saturday, and was treated to another performance of Balanchine's Le Tombeau de Couperin, which is a vehicle for the company's very young, very hungry corps de ballet. I saw this piece for the first time a couple of weeks ago (on the same program as Episodes), and I enjoyed it just as much. It's Balanchine's architectural sensibility at its finest--marvelously kaleidoscopic patterns emerge and dissolve constantly, as the eight men and eight women constantly rearran

It's been nearly 15 years since the cult classic about Calgary's +15 walkways, waydowntown, was shot entirely in the city. The Gary Burns comedy, sort of a Canadian, poor man's Office Space, mocks Calgary's corporate culture. The film follows four co-workers who have bet a months salary on who can last the longest without going outside – using the +15s to navigate mostly between home, work, and the mall. It stars Fab Filippo, Don McKellar, Marya Delver, and Gordon Currie. The film is pretty surreal, from strange dream sequences, to the characters clothing changing colours mid-scene. Of course, it's all part of their bet unravelling – it's not fun to stay inside for 28 days, especially if you're breathing in food court smells day in and day out.
In the last ten or so years, a lot has changed downtown (not just the questionable 90s fashion on display), especially in some of the film's familiar locations. It's fun as a lifelong Calgarian to rewatch, and pick out how many spots you can recognize. Some of the films easter eggs are definitely rewarding to those who pick up on them – the flick opens with a voice over from C-JAY92 djs, and in one scene you can see people smoking in the short lived "smokers closets" at TD Centre.
I've picked out a couple of screenshots from the film, and I've got a $20 gift card to The Core Shopping Centre for whoever can name the most locations. Send your entries to me at firstname.lastname@example.com by January 18 to give it a shot. Subject: WAYDOWNTOWN. Good luck!

Look what I found!
During my kitchen cleaning duties, I happened on this joyous little six-pack. Needless to say, Mr G and I were scratching our heads as to how this six-pack of Coopers Sparkling Ale managed to find its way into our kitchen in Strasbourg. The penny finally dropped – it must have been the Beer Fairies! By Beer Fairies, the finger is pointed at two friends who recently came and visited – previously featured Princess Positive and Dr P. What confused me at first, is that I thought that Dr P must have carried this precious cargo all the way from the UK, as there is a very slim chance that one would find Coopers in Strasbourg – or so I thought! I think that with Princess P's keen sense of adventure and Dr P's special beer-radar abilities, they must have found it in a random beer shop, yet undiscovered by Mr G and I. None the less – it was an awesome surprise and the discovery of the six-pack inspired the cooking of some spice and lime cashew beer snacks to accompany a super cold Coopers – Cheers guys!
Spice and Lime Cashew Nuts
* Absence of quantities on the recipe is probably due to me enjoying an ice cold Coopers while preparing the cashew nuts.
salted cashew nuts
cayenne pepper
olive oil
sesame oil
Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a pan. Add the cumin, cayenne pepper and paprika and cook through for a couple of minutes until you can smell the spices.
Add the cashew nuts, and coat with the spice mixture. Once well coated and heated through, add a few drops of sesame oil and toss the nuts to ensure that they are well mixed.
Pour the nuts into a bowl and just before serving, squeeze the lime over the cashews to give them a bit of freshness. Enjoy with a cold – and in our case – Coopers Sparkling Ale!

Preventive Service Planning
This document applies only to the following language version(s):
Upgrading to DB2® Version 9.5 might require migration of your environment components. These components are DB2 servers, clients, database applications, and routines. Migrating these components requires an understanding of the DB2 database product migration concepts and the DB2 database products.
This roadmap will help you navigate through the available information and resources related to upgrading from DB2 Universal Database (DB2 UDB®) Version 8 or DB2 LUW Version 9.1 to DB2 Version 9.5
Your first point of reference to learn how to migrate each component of your DB2 environment and how to create a migration plan is the DB2 Migration guide. The content of this guide is available in the DB2 Information Center. The highest level topic is Migrating to DB2 Version 9.5.
Additional resources
| Prerequisites
|Ensure that you meet the operating system and hardware requirements for DB2 Version 9.5 described at Installation requirements for DB2 database products.
Review changes in Version 9.5 to existing functionality from previous releases that can impact your components migration:
If you are upgrading from DB2 UDB Version 8, review changes in Version 9.1 to existing functionality from previous releases that can also impact your component migration:
If you are upgrading from DB2 UDB Version 8.1 to DB2 Version 9.5, review also the DB2 UDB Version 8.2 upgrade considerations technote. In addition to the changes in upgrading to DB2 Version 9.5, you might need to address the changes and conversions that happen when you install DB2 UDB Version 8.2 (DB2 UDB Version 8.1 FixPak 7) or a higher level on a DB2 server that already has DB2 UDB Version 8.1 installed up to FixPak 6 level. You should consider upgrading to DB2 UDB Version 8.2 first.
Discontinue the use of functionality that is not supported in DB2 Version 9.5.
If you are upgrading from DB2 UDB Version 8, discontinue the use of functionality that is not supported since DB2 Version 9.1.
There is no utility to fall back to a previous release after migrating your DB2 servers. Refer to the Planning section for details.
Back to top
| Planning
Planning migration for your environment requires that you determine a strategy on how to approach the migration of your environment and create a migration plan that includes all of the process details.
Determine all of the migration process details for each component in your environment that you need to know to write your migration plan.
For each component, you must include in your migration plan:
Review APARs and known issues related to migration to DB2 Version 9.5 in the Troubleshooting section. If these issues impact the migration of your environment, add to your migration plans the actions on how to resolve them.
To fall back to a previous release after migrating your DB2 servers, add details to your migration plan about the tasks required to reverse a DB2 server migration. These details should include any steps required in the migration task that enables you to reverse the migration.
You should plan how to discontinue the use of deprecated functionality.
Consider migrating your DB2 servers, clients, database applications, and routines in a test environment to learn how to address any issues that may arise during the migration process and to evaluate the impact of changes introduced in DB2 Version 9.5. Also in a test environment, you can determine the length of time required to migrate your database to DB2 Version 9.5 and the disk space requirements that are essential in developing a migration plan and performing a successful migration of your environment.
Adopting new DB2 Version 9.5 functionality
Consider also adopitng new functionality in your migrated databases and database applications to enhance their functionality and improve their performance.
If you want to convert your Version 9.1 or Version 8 database to a Version 9.5 Unicode database, migration is not required because you need to re-create your database in Version 9.5 as a Unicode database.
Articles and white papers
If you are upgrading from DB2 UDB Version 8, review Articles and white papers in the DB2 Version 9.1 Migration Roadmap that can help you manage the changes between DB2 Version 9.1 and DB2 UDB Version 8 that also apply to your applications when you upgrade to DB2 Version 9.5.
Back to top
| Migrating
Follow the migration plan for your environment. The migration process for each component of your environment is described on the following topics in the DB2 Migration documentation:
The migration process for each component includes:

Popovers, America's version of Yorkshire pudding, are pastries that impressively rise up and over the pans they're baked in. They have a crisp exterior but a soft, pillowy inside, perfect for serving with a juicy slice of prime rib. All you need is a blender and a muffin pan to whip them up—no popover pan needed. These easy and versatile pastries can also be slathered with jam and served with your morning tea.
Game plan: If you don't have a 12-well muffin pan, you can use two 6-well muffin pans; just be sure to bake them side by side in the oven.
This recipe was featured as part of our story on hand-held meals you can make in a muffin pan.

Personally, even without knowing the real meaning behind it, found it to be a very good flash. Especially during the closeups of the hands, I could tell you put alot of work into this. If you are trying to get across a message of questioning the purpose and quickness of life, you should definitely expand on this a little bit more, somehow. I think this flash has a lot of potential and with a little bit of creative thinking im sure you can make it great, even though I will give it full marks now anyway. Keep up the great work!
thanks so much! :D

The Oscars Turns Back On Geeks
This Year's Oscar's: Not One for the Geeks
With the end of the year a short four months away and February an even shorter six, there seems to be only one thing on everyone's mind: the 85th annual Academy Awards… but not really. However, with the year only just half over, people have already begun making their predictions of what film will win which award. It's odd reviewing the predictions of others, seeing how most are choosing Anna Karenina, Life of Pi, and Lincoln (films not only unreleased as of yet, but some not even out of production) as their Picture of the year. There are only two films already released that seem to dominate the prediction list: Moonrise Kingdom and Beasts of the Southern Wild, and these exist merely as alternates, not the stand above picks.
In years past, prediction lists (as well as the actual nominations) seemed to be riddled with interesting picks. Interesting, that is, for those avid movie-goers and film critics, who look at the structure and story of a film, rather than how much enjoyment they received from it. However for those who consider themselves "geeks", the picks seemed to be much more of an obvious choice. I speak of the nomination of District 9 for the 2009 Academy Awards, and even stranger films, like the Coen Brothers' oddity A Serious Man, nominated for Best Picture alongside District 9. However, this year, the predictions seem to be of a much more serious nature, showing Anna Karenina, The Great Gatsby, and Life of Pi as the front-runners (a very literary list). However, the most the geeks can hope for is Wes Anderson being the final winner to walk up on that stage for his quirkily wonderful Moonrise Kingdom and to see Quentin Tarantino in the small nominee box for Django Unchained.
There are bound to be name drops for Dark Knight Rises and The Avengers, possibly as nominees for some of the more obscure awards that no one really seems to care too much about, such as Outstanding Achievement in Special Effects or Sound, however, one of the films winning an award as such seems farfetched. The best us geeks can hope for are clips of Bane being the badass he was or Tony Stark eating Shwarma in the "Yearly Recap" video.
So the geeks will sit back and be disappointed by each Oscar winner, knowing that the Avengers, with it's wonderful blend of action, superheroes, and comedy was miles better than the story of a boy sitting in a boat with tiger that is nothing but depressing. In previous years, it would have been recommended for one to switch over to the MTV Movie Awards to see their favorites (and obviously superior) movies to win something, however, that moment won't come until the Twilight series is finally out of its lusty, pre-teen circulation. (After Breaking Dawn: Part 2, Twilight: The Musical! A play based on the movie based on the book based on a creepy wet dream. Look out Tony's, Kristen Stewart is here to ruin all of your days as well.)

ISO Range Problem 1D Mk3
Apr 5, 2011
I have happily shot 90k+ shots on my 1D Mk3 - but sports shots that stuck within the ISO 400 to 1600 range. At the weekend wanted to shoot at 100 ISO and discovered that I could not get below 200 ISO. Simple - it must be the custom settings. Changed CFN 1-3 to H and L - pressed Apply and tried again. But ISO range still limited to 200 - 3200. [and before the CFN 1-3 change I found that it was set to Disable!]
I guess that I am making some stupid mistake and there is some other setting I have missed - but have re-read the manual and searched the forums without spotting my error. Help!

Live! NJ Election Results
New Jersey voters headed to the polls Tuesday to vote in the first primary since redistricting eliminated one of the state's congressional districts. U.S. Rep. Bill Pascrell won a hard-fought battle of incumbents Tuesday, besting fellow congressman Steve Rothman in the Democratic primary in New Jersey's newly drawn 9th District. In the 10th District, Donald Payne Jr. was elected to the seat his father held for over 20 years.
Pascrell and Rothman ended up in a rare incumbent vs. incumbent campaign because districts were reconfigured this year and New Jersey is losing a seat. The winner is almost certain to prevail in November in the heavily Democratic district.
During his concession speech, Rothman said, "I don't believe I'll be running for public office ever again." He said he'll throw his support behind Rep. Pascrell and President Barack Obama this November.
The other watched race was in the 10th District, where the death of Newark's Donald Payne Sr. created a hotly contested race for his seat. His son, Donald Payne Jr. beat out five other candidates to win the seat and succeed his father.
In his victory speech, Payne told supporters he ran to continue the legacy of his father, the first black representative from New Jersey.

The Lightnin' Hopkins Style - Page 4
by Jim Burger
Bar 5 features another signature Lightnin' move that is pretty easy to master. You simply start with an A7 fingering and pick on the high string, then lift your finger from the 3rd fret of the 1st string and move it down a string and then back again. cho|x|0|2|2|2|3|A7|cho |cr| Bar 6 is simply picking on an A7 chord. Note the little sweep up on the open strings at the end of bar 6 again, the same little Lightnin' move that we used at the end of the intro!
In bar 8, we have one new little touch compared with bar 4. Since bar 9 of our progression will feature a B chord, we lead into it by working our way up the low part of the E blues scale (using some nice hammer-ons) towards a B note in the last 2 beats of the measure: seq|6_0|6_3|5_0|5_1|5_2|Low E blues|seq
