The Inspire Me project is helping young people with a learning disability through the difficult transition to adulthood
Shane is 21 (see below) and has a learning disability, but it has only just been diagnosed. It takes Shane longer to understand things than other people and he struggles with managing his money. Luckily, his family supports him.
Many other young people like Shane are not so lucky. Transition to adulthood is a difficult time for everyone, but it can be even harder for those with a learning disability. And most don't receive enough support.
A recent survey by the Local Government Education and Children's Services Research Programme found that relatively few young people with special educational needs, learning difficulties or disabilities are properly prepared for adult life. There is limited support to help them achieve independence and access services.
A new project, run by Mencap and ENABLE Scotland, aims to plug this gap. Inspire Me, funded by The Co-operative, focuses on giving young people with a learning disability, aged 16 to 25, the chance to change their future.
The project is built around six workshops – volunteering, preparation for the world of work, managing my money, action planning and goal setting, citizenship and community and confidence and motivation. These are run by regioanl youth coordinators across the UK, supported by volunteers, for groups of around eight to ten young people with a learning disability – usually in schools, colleges or youth clubs. Project support staff with a learning disability were also recruited to support the project alongside the regional youth coordinators.
"We wanted to make sure the workshops were engaging, rather than lecturing," explains Inspire Me programme manager Asha Vijendran. "Each has a session plan with objectives, but the regional youth co-ordinator can adapt it depending on the group."
After the workshops, there are various options. "Some young people just come for one workshop. For others, it's more of a journey," says Asha. The youth workers support them to go in whatever direction they choose, via Mencap services, if appropriate.
Those that need extra support or have a specific goal can be allocated a volunteer progression mentor. In London, for example, a volunteer helped a young person join a gym – they now go together. The young people also have the chance to become a young ambassador for Mencap.
Making a difference
Those who complete the citizenship and community workshop can get involved in a community impact project. "The projects are led by the young people," explained regional youth co-ordinator Nithee Kotecha. "For example, some of the young people attend a community centre, but they thought it looked dull, so we decided to plant some shrubs."
"The young people say: 'I normally receive support from someone. It's rare that I make a difference,'" adds Asha.
I contacted mencap regarding inspire me workshop a couple of weeks ago.I am a 20yr old man with learning difficulties. Someone called me but I was on the bus and unable to take down any details. I will be grateful if someone can contact me back please. Thank you.

Republican presidential hopeful Ron Paul is most distinguishable, on the debate stage alongside fellow GOP contenders, for his opposition to the U.S. wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, and now Libya. The Texas Congressman advocates the withdraw of U.S. troops from not only Afghanistan and Iraq, but also elsewhere in the world, such as Germany, Japan, and South Korea.
A new exhibit at the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History reveals a bias against two icons of Americans: Christopher Columbus and Thomas Jefferson. The "Race: Are We So Different?" display — developed by the American Anthropological Association — takes what the museum's website calls "an unprecedented look at race and racism in the United States."
Against the backdrop of price inflation reaching six percent, the unemployment rate touching five percent, the increasingly large holdings by foreign governments of dollars (that at the time were convertible into gold upon demand) and his desperate need to get reelected, in August, 1971 President Nixon conferred with his economic advisers about how to solve the inflation problem without taking any blame for it.
The Berlin Wall, Hiding ShameWritten by Jack Kenny
On June 15, 1961, Walter Ulbricht, the communist ruler of East Germany (known officially as the German Democratic Republic) held a press conference in East Berlin to promote a cause he had long advocated: the signing of a treaty between the Soviet Union and Ulbricht's German Democratic Republic (GDR) so that the East German government would control all land and air routes to Berlin, which would then be, in Ulbricht's terms, a "Free City." As Frederick Taylor noted in The Berlin Wall: A World Divided, 1961-1989, Ulbricht's aides "went out of their way to invite the Western press corps."
Jackie Onassis, the widow of President John F. Kennedy, believed Vice President Lyndon Johnson and a "cabal of Texas tycoons" plotted and carried out the assassination of her philandering husband, London's Daily Mail reports.

Rotterdam in the picture - 175 years of photography in Rotterdam
Tough, brutal, dynamic, modern: Rotterdam knows no fear!
For no fewer than 175 years, the way in which the city has been recurrently renovated, revamped and altered, in a persistent process of construction, demolition, reconstruction and expansion, has been carefully and lovingly depicted. High-rise, space, water and wind have consistently determined the atmosphere in this multicultural, international city that longs to become a metropolis. In the past 175 years, the process of change has led to many exceptional photographic assignments, photos and photo series.

The fine folks over at Moo have this fun design challenge up. They've asked folks to send in their designs for a business card for the Greek god Zeus.
Here's my entry. Not only does it allow me to practice design in a fun way - it allows me to work with a photo of Liam Neeson! Huzzah!
My concept is simple enough, I work with the letter Z and the visual of lightening. His name and title are kept clean and direct. I omitted his contact information (Mount Olympus) since he's omnipotent and a god, so in theory he should be able to just zoom to you without a formal request.

Cataracts Defined
What is a Cataract?
Cataract is the term used to describe a clouding of the natural lens of the eye. A clouded lens can be compared to a window that is frosted or "fogged" with steam. When the lens becomes cloudy, the light reaching the retina is blurred and distorted, and your vision is affected. This clouded lens is called a cataract, and it must be removed before vision can be restored. Cataracts are not cancerous. They can be treated with a surgical procedure that has become a fairly common procedure in the United States.
Types of Cataracts
The two most common types of cataracts are: the cortical cataract and a posterior subcapsular cataract. Depending on the type of cataract, a patient will experience different vision problems, but the most common cataract symptoms include:
- Blurring vision
- Sensitivity to light or glare
- Double vision in one eye
- Poor night vision
- Needing brighter light to read
- Experiencing fading or yellowing of colors.

Witness the strands of the thread come together into a bleak picture of the future. Armani is counting on huge billboards of metrosexual nominal soccer star David Beckham to boost its underwear sales in America by more than $100 million. Dolce & Gabanna is using naked images to sell underwear, a strategy whose logic resides only in the mind of the fashion elite.
Both of these campaigns are aiming to sell tightie whities, mind you. It's not like Calvin Klein trotting out Marky Mark to sell us slightly more fashionable boxers, simply providing men with one more place to show off a brand name. No, these companies want our underwear shrunken, white, and easily dirtied, so as to necessitate replacement more often. And they're succeeding. Selfridge's in London said that sales of briefs more than doubled after the Beckham ads started running. If it can happen there, it can certainly happen in LA.
Not even regular brands like Jockey are safe havens. That downmarket, everyman company is trying to pass itself off as an upscale choice to the poor people of India, and is even rolling out a "super-premium range" of underwear in the near future. So at the same time luxury briefs are coming in, our own cheap underwear is raising its standards. There are few places left to hide.
The most terrifying front of this war is Australia, where men are already so far gone that they are expected to enthusiastically purchase the forthcoming Wonderbum,"designed to plump the behinds of 'all the flat-arsed men out there.'" Well. It may already be too late for Australia. Here, according to The Age, are some actual hot-selling products that the male population there buys, as it climbs Ayers Rock with a pet dingo or whatever:
We beg you: do not allow yourself to be mesmerized by the perceived sexiness of these products. Think of the men. Underwear is one of our final refuges from the rampaging gods of luxury. America is not David Beckham; America is Ralph Kramden. And nobody wants to see Ralph Kramden's jock, wonder or otherwise.

Defense, social media overbearing
How the rise of social media has changed NFL.
Every Wednesday until the Super Bowl, Brian Billick will write a weekly column looking in-depth at different aspects of the modern NFL and will discuss experiences and insights he gained while coaching and broadcasting.
By the halfway point of any NFL season, a dominant theme or narrative usually presents itself. It might be as obvious as the Patriots' total dominance in 2007, or as fleeting as the rise of the Wildcat offense in 2008.
This season is no different, and as I look back at the first half of 2012, a few themes emerge. One that is the most obvious this year has occurred off the field: it involves the confluence between the immense amount of interest in the game, and the explosion of media outlets (social and otherwise) focused on football. We've seen the explosion of new media in all walks of life, of course, but this is felt as acutely in the world of sports as anywhere. In short, the popularity of the National Football League is such that any story that is covered will be, almost by definition, over-covered.
Twenty-five years ago, you'd play a game on Sunday, listen to a postgame radio show, read about it the next day in the papers, and then get ready for the next week's game. The media coverage beyond that was sparse — injury updates, a feature on a star player, a few statistical notes. Today, there's more than that written about and discussed before the game even ends. Then, in the long week between games, all the ancillary forms of media — from blogs to Twitter blasts, wall-to-wall talk radio to 24-hour news networks — are there to slice, dice, dissect and deconstruct every last storyline. In sum, this is great: more football coverage for all of us who love football.
But because of this incessant coverage of the game and the voracious media beast that has to be fed, an obsessive myopia takes over, in which every single development is blown out of proportion. A week into the season, we were reading stories about the maturation of Tony Romo (who'd led the Cowboys to a road win over the Giants) and Cam Newton (who'd helped the Panthers stun the Saints). A month later, both quarterbacks were the focal points of the chorus of criticism of their respective teams.
Three weeks into the season, the Eagles were the cool veteran team that had won despite subpar performances. A month later, a large portion of pundits held the opinion that Nick Foles, a third-round draft choice who'd yet to take an NFL snap, ought to replace Michael Vick as quarterback of the Eagles. (As we saw Monday night at New Orleans, any quarterback in the league would get eaten alive behind the inept Eagles' offensive line.)
In late September, the Broncos were a flawed team and Peyton Manning was an aging quarterback well past his prime. In November, the Broncos are some people's choice to get the top seed in the AFC and Manning is getting MVP mentions.
The conventional wisdom over whether Robert Griffin III or Andrew Luck is the better rookie quarterback has changed three or four times since Kickoff Weekend.
If this was just people talking, it wouldn't make much difference. But the media narratives affect the teams and players and have to be contended with. Romo has become a flashpoint in Dallas; Newton has had to answer questions not only about his play on the field but also his demeanor in press briefings. And you can bet that Michael Vick will be facing questions all week about the tweets his brother Marcus sent out during the Eagles' Monday night loss to New Orleans (which Marcus Vick has already had to officially apologize for). The New York Jets have had plenty of problems this season, but the three-ring media circus accompanying the most celebrated back-up quarterback in America, Tim Tebow, has definitely been one of them.
Many teams have tried to limit the social media of their players, keeping players from tweeting their injury status. The NFL prohibits players from tweeting 90 minute prior to the game. But I believe that, going forward, teams are going to have to be far more savvy in how to manage and respond to social media. Silencing players isn't a solution; making them more sophisticated about the implications of their Twitter timelines and Facebook updates is.
Beyond the sound and fury of the modern media echo chamber, what have we truly learned this season about the game on the field? One thing is clear: Even in this age of 400-yard passing games, defenses still matter. Offenses always get most of the attention, and the competition committee makes sure they enjoy lots of built-in advantages, but even in an era where some quarterbacks are completing more than two-thirds of their passes, there are plenty of defenses that can often dictate the tempo of a game.
The Chicago Bears have taken the idea of turnovers to a whole new level. Led by Charles Tillman, the Bears are on pace to shatter the all-time record for scores off of takeways. The record of nine scores in a season is held by the 1961 San Diego Chargers. The Bears are currently at seven after just eight games. Once, when you played a defense like the Bears, you would make not turning over the ball your top priority. Now, you almost have to concede that they will get a takeaway; the new goal is to just not let them score with it.
Of the current teams that could make the playoffs several of them — Chicago, San Francisco, Miami, Minnesota, Seattle — are there primarily because of their defense. Conversely, there are some teams — the Packers, Broncos and Patriots — who will be in the playoff hunt primarily because of their explosive offenses.
The most balanced teams can control games on both sides of the ball, winning shootouts and stalemates alike. These teams — like the Texans, Giants and Falcons (and the Ravens, before their defense was decimated by injuries) — have the brightest future. Those are the teams that have the best chance to be playing football well into January.

Toxic Spikes is the first thing I set up. And if I get lucky, I get someone who tries to set up DD on my lead (forretress, who is ****ing king) and after I set up all my hazards (full TS + Stealth Rock) and he hits me, Red Card makes all his work useless - and I can also hit EQ on the guy next in his team (and if that doesn't work, I have two more back up tactics to get rid of the mother****ers).
I think Excadrill shouldn't be banned for two very basic reasons:
-It's so ****ing easy to counter it's not even funny. I mean it, even with air balloon, everything is super effective against it except the Latis with Dragon Pulse + Psyshock, but really, normally teams have at least one bulky/fast water or fire type. Or a fighter.

David Dhawan's "Chashme Baddoor(2013)", a remake of 1981 film of the same name, has not only got thumbs up from the critics, but it has also managed to mint Rs.11.45 crore in the first two days of its release.
Trade analyst Taran Adarsh tweeted: "'Chashme Baddoor' is off to a super start in India. North India and Mumbai circuits leading. Even mass-dominated belt very good!"
Said to be made at a budget of Rs.17 crore, the funny drama has been produced by Viacom 18 Motion Pictures. What worked in the favour of the movie is that the director revamped the script and set the story of "Chashme Baddoor" in Goa focusing on the current lot of youngsters and their life style.
The film collected Rs.5.18 crore on Friday and Rs.6.27 crore on Saturday, making the total to Rs.11.45 crore.
The original, produced by Gul Anand and directed by Sai Paranjpye, revolved around three students living in Delhi - Siddharth (Farooque Sheikh), Omi (Rakesh Bedi) and Jai (Ravi Baswani) - and what happens when they meet Neha (Deepti Naval).
Dhawan's "Chashme Baddoor(2013)" features Ali Zafar, Taapsee Pannu, Siddharth, Divyendu Sharma, Rishi Kapoor, Anupam Kher and Lilette Dubey.
The Sai Parnajpye-directed "Chashme Buddoor" was recently restored and released with the new "Chashme Baddoor" on Friday.

KENNEWICK — The federal government is recommending a phased start to treatment of radioactive waste now held in underground tanks at the Hanford Nuclear Reservation in Washington.
The U.S. Department of Energy, in a report released Tuesday, proposes starting to treat some of Hanford's 56 million gallons of waste for disposal as soon as possible, while work continues to resolve technical issues at the vitrification plant's Pretreatment and High Level Waste Facilities.
Treatment would include sending some low-activity radioactive waste directly to the plant's Low Activity Waste Facility to be prepared for disposal, bypassing the Pretreatment Facility, which was planned to separate tank waste into low-activity and high-level streams for separate treatment.
The treated low-activity waste then would go to a Hanford landfill.
The department also suggests retrieving up to 1.4 million gallons of waste, from up to 11 underground single-shell tanks, that may be transuranic waste, which is typically contaminated with plutonium. The waste then would go to the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant in New Mexico.
In June, the federal government notified state officials that it is at serious risk of missing two cleanup deadlines at Hanford, the nation's most contaminated nuclear site. Gov. Jay Inslee has said the state would work to meet federal cleanup commitments.

Investors finally find good news on unemployment
NEW YORK The economy's most vexing problem, unemployment, is showing the first signs of easing. And Wall Street is celebrating.
Major stock indexes jumped more than 1 percent Friday after the government said the nation's unemployment rate unexpectedly fell in July for the first time in 15 months and that employers cut fewer jobs. Bond prices fell, driving yields higher as investors left the safety of Treasurys.
The Labor Department report handed investors the best evidence yet that the economy could be climbing out of the recession. Analysts widely consider unemployment the biggest obstacle to a recovery in the economy, which is driven by consumer spending.
The surprise figures injected new life in a monthlong rally and provided validation for traders who have been betting since March that the economy is healing. The Dow Jones industrial average rose 114 points to cap its fourth straight weekly gain. The Dow is at its highest level since early November.
The government said employers shed 247,000 jobs in July, the fewest in a year. Economists had expected 320,000 lost jobs. The unemployment rate dropped to 9.4 percent from 9.5 percent in June, rather than rising to 9.6 percent as forecast.
"It really gave the market the proof that it needed to see," said Burt White, chief investment officer at LPL Financial in Boston.
The report is often the most anticipated bit of economic news each month on Wall Street and nervousness about what it would reveal held stocks to modest moves most of the week. The exception came Monday when Ford Motor Co. said its monthly sales rose for the first time in nearly two years because the government's cash for clunkers program was drawing customers. That, and good news about manufacturing, construction and banking, sent the Standard & Poor's 500 index over 1,000 for the first time in nine months.
With the pop Friday, the S&P 500 index is up 14.9 percent in only four weeks and 49.4 percent from a 12-year low in early March.
Still, some analysts say the gains have come too quickly and question whether an economic rebound can ever live up to the expectations investors are now setting.
"We've run very fast, very quickly," said Marc Harris, co-head of global research for RBC Capital Markets in New York. "I think we're due to take a breath."
The Dow rose 113.81, or 1.2 percent, to 9,370.07. The broader S&P 500 index gained 13.40, or 1.3 percent, to 1,010.48, while the Nasdaq composite index rose 27.09, or 1.4 percent, to 2,000.25.
About 2,300 stocks rose on the New York Stock Exchange, while about 700 fell. Consolidated volume rose to 7 billion shares from 6.8 billion Thursday.
For the week, the Dow added 2.2 percent, the S&P 500 index rose 2.3 percent and the Nasdaq rose 1.1 percent.
Meanwhile, bond prices fell as the jobs reading limited demand for the safety of government debt. The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note, which moves opposite its price, rose to 3.86 percent from 3.76 percent late Thursday.
Financial and retail stocks rallied Friday along with the broader market.
Insurer American International Group Inc. posted its first quarterly profit since 2007. The insurance giant, which is now majority owned by the government, rose $4.61, or 20.5 percent, to $27.14.
The jump in retail stocks came a day after many posted lackluster July sales. A drop in unemployment could make consumers feel more confident about making purchases, which could help the recovery along. Their spending accounts for more than two-thirds of U.S. economic activity. Macy's Inc. rose 98 cents, or 6.5 percent, to $15.99.
Analysts say some of the market's recent gains are tied to short-covering, in which investors have to buy stock after having earlier sold borrowed shares in a bet they would fall.

Elkhorn — Jeremy C. Dees sat in an orange jail jumpsuit with a neck brace hunched at a table in an arraignment room in the Walworth County Correctional Center. He was visible only to those in court Friday via closed-circuit television.
With the Dorwin family watching in the courtroom, Dees was charged with homicide by negligent operation of a vehicle and two counts of reckless driving causing injury.
The charges are a result of a Nov. 16 crash that killed 9-year-old Eastview Elementary School student Carter Dorwin and injured his mother, Nicole, and brother, Bradley.
The court appearance lasted just a few minutes, with Judge Robert Kennedy reading the charges. Kennedy also informed a quiet Dees of his rights to obtain an attorney. Dees has been in Walworth County Jail since Sunday, Nov. 28, and is being held on a $250,000 bond. Dees is expected in court again on Dec. 10, at 1 p.m.
The homicide count is a felony and, if convicted, Dees may be fined not more than $25,000 or imprisoned not more than 10 years. The misdemeanor charges carry each between a $300 and $2,000 fine and between 30 days and a year in prison.
According to the complaint, Dees was on his way back to his home in Elkhorn after going to church in Lake Geneva that morning. It was about 7 a.m. and the Dorwins were on their way to school in Lake Geneva.
Dees' green Jeep was on Highway H leaving the city of Lake Geneva limits at an estimated 75 to 80 mph, according to a witness in the complaint. The witness also stated Dees' vehicle left the roadway onto the shoulder and then continued on Highway H.
Nicole Dorwin said Dees' vehicle was completely driving in her lane and was swerving. She said the oncoming vehicle was traveling west toward her and crossed the center line before swerving back. She said it crossed again and kept heading toward her.
At that time, Dorwin said she tried to move out of the way by pulling her vehicle off the roadway as far as she could and stopping. But, Dees struck the rear of Dorwin's vehicle, where Carter was sitting. The collision plunged the vehicles into the marsh off Highway H near Park Street.
Upon arrival at the accident, the police met with Nicole, who was with Bradley. According to the criminal complaint, she told police "her other son was in the vehicle still and that he was dead."
Dees told police after he went to the church, he was returning to Elkhorn, but he did not remember anything until he awoke in the hospital.
After the hearing was over, the Dorwin family and their friends met privately for about 15 minutes with Walworth County District Attorney Phil Koss. Following the hearing and meeting, Koss said he would not comment on the case.
Following the accident, police initially stated that "alcohol may have been a factor." However, a blood test after the crash showed there was no alcohol in Dees. Police say at the scene, Dees "blew a .03 percent" on the breath test and that "he had crossed over the center line at a high rate of speed" which typically are "good indicators" that alcohol may have been a factor. Results from a drug screen on Dees is still pending.
He has three prior drunken driving convictions, the last one being May 5, 2008. In 2009, he was convicted of a disorderly conduct charge in Marathon County. He also has ben found guilty of other alcohol- and drug-related charges and battery.

Johan Galtung
I start with two basic assumptions. First, any peaceful world order has to take into account all four types of power: military, economic, cultural, and political. One cannot build peace on only one or two of them. Any power type can be transformed, even softened--but not disregarded. Power is with us forever. Second, states, even nation-states, will be around for a long time. There is something stabilizing in territorial contiguity and temporal continuity, combined with some degree of cultural sharing. In addition there is the simple fact that nation-states do provide; the state often is l'etat-providence.
The world may be anarchic and risky as a multistate system, but states often provide internal security, alleviate misery, guarantee a minimum of freedom, and equip people with at least one source of identity: the nation-state itself. Although war as an institution is an increasing failure, the nation-state is not, however related the two may be. The nation-state is simply too successful, and will be around for the foreseeable future.
Hence the argument here is not to dismantle nation-states, but to modify their aggressiveness. The short-term problem is not how to abolish states but how to weaken them, soften them, and then weave them together by interlinking them in an equitable manner, so that it becomes structurally difficult for them to engage in war or warlike processes. The question is how to convert this general formula into concrete peace in the inter-state system.
Table 15.1 incorporates much of the thinking in this important arena. A peaceful world presupposes regulation of power so as to obtain peace. War is power abuse. The study of power coincides with the study of

"I was trying to go to detox and my insurance wasn't covering it," Rachel McDuffie said. Now she is receiving outpatient treatment at Conifer Park.
McDuffie has a two-year-old son and has been battling opiate addiction for a short time. She was also fighting her health insurance to help pay for her treatment. She lost and switched to Medicaid.
"Pretty frustrating you know, especially I have a son and we have two different insurance (providers)," McDuffie said.
Conifer Park's Michelle Collings says working with insurance companies is a constant battle.
"Basically what they're saying is people with that experience of opiate withdrawal are not going to die. So it's not medically necessary," Collings said.
On Monday, New York's Democratic Governor Andrew Cuomo signed a law that would mandate all insurance companies to cover opiate-related treatments, including inpatient and outpatient clinics, as well as suboxone and methadone.
While patients at Conifer Park are elated about the changes in policy a lot of insurance companies across New York wanted some changes of their own before this legislation came into place.
A spokesperson for the New York Health Plan Association says a working group to look into the law will help insurers adapt. They want to see a grading system for clinics and they also say rate payers could eventually see an increase to cover this mandate.
The law takes effect April 2015, but there's an important rule regarding deadlines. Insurance will only cover opiate treatments if the policy has been renewed or started after April 2015.

Reggie Love Obama 'body man' played 'spades' with Obama during Osama raid
Reggie Love aka Obama's 'body man' has revealed the truth. That 'photo' of Obama and his lackeys watching the Osama bin Laden raid? BS. Instead, lazy Obama decided to play cards (spades) with his body man Reggie Love during the Osama Bin Laden raid because Obama 'can't watch this entire thing.' As we've seen over the past 4 1/2 years with all the vacations, concerts, White House parties and golf outings, working is hard for Obama. So when Obama says he got Bin Laden, it's a lie. Obama really got some of Reggie's love. BTW, since Obama didn't bother watch the Bin Laden raid, who handled it? Valerie Jarrett?

In the July 18 interview, which took place during a lunch hosted by UCLA's Luskin School of Public Affairs, Love talked about life with the president, including the historic moment more than two years ago when bin Laden was killed.
Describing it as a "very long day," Love said most people were in the Situation Room but Obama came to the private dining room to play cards with Love, White House photographer Pete Souza and staffer Marvin Nicholson.
"[President Obama] was like, 'I'm not, I'm not going to be down there, I can't watch this entire thing'," Love said. "We must have played 15 hands-15 games of Spades."

Pentagon Trying to Avoid Across-the-Board Cuts
The Pentagon is offering new clues on how it plans to meet a White House goal of trimming the military budget by $400 billion over the next decade as it winds down the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Speaking at an investment conference Wednesday in New York, Deputy Defense Secretary William Lynn said the department would avoid "across the board cuts" to military spending, and had launched a process that would identify "where the nation is willing to accept risk" when it comes to investing in new weaponry.
The goal of that process, Mr. Lynn said in prepared remarks, was "to manage the slowdown in defense spending without disrupting the capabilities of the world's most effective military force."
In April, President Barack Obama proposed cutting $400 billion in projected security spending by 2023, part of a larger effort to rein in federal deficits. The move, which caught retiring Defense Secretary Robert Gates off guard, may pave the way for a broader re-evaluation of military strategy. The Pentagon recently launched a comprehensive review of the U.S. roles and missions around the globe.
Already, Pentagon leaders have identified areas where they want to preserve investment. Mr. Lynn said the Defense Department needed to "continue incubating" technology for stealthy, long-range bombers, pilotless aircraft and cyber warfare.
Mr. Lynn's remarks also seem aimed at reassuring a defense industry that is anxious whether the recent killing of Osama bin Laden in Pakistan—and the expected exit of Mr. Gates at the end of June—might accelerate defense cuts. He said there would be "no second last supper," an allusion to a famous dinner meeting at the Pentagon in 1993, when the department's senior leadership told defense companies they would have to consolidate to survive the post-Cold War downturn in defense spending.
But, Mr. Lynn added, the department is taking on a "sector-by-sector and tier-by-tier review of the defense industrial base," with the aim of encouraging long-term investors. "Think Warren Buffett, not Gordon Gekko," he said.
The speech comes as the defense budget faces growing pressure from several quarters, including Republicans who are traditionally hawkish on military spending.
Michael Herson, president of American Defense International, a defense-industry lobbying firm, said earlier in the day that the killing of the al Qaeda founder was "definitely going to have an impact on the debate" in Washington over military spending and the U.S. involvement in Afghanistan. "The problem with the situation in Afghanistan is we don't have a way to define success," he said. "In order for the administration to counter that, they have to make it clear what the mission is."
The House Armed Services Committee this week is marking up the president's $671 billion defense spending request for fiscal 2012. In a statement ahead of the full committee markup, Rep. Howard "Buck" McKeon (R., Calif.), the chairman of the committee and a defender of robust defense budgets, said the committee would "scrutinize the Defense Department's budget and identify inefficiencies to invest those savings into higher national security priorities."
The Defense Department's recommendations for trimming costs are likely to be incorporated in the fiscal 2013 budget request, which will be revealed early next year.

Psy made headlines when he told MTV News he was "ending" his signature smash "Gangnam Style" on New Year's Eve … though it appears that retirement talk may have been a tad premature.
Because "Gangnam" is getting another go 'round, thanks to the folks at Republic Records, who have just announced the Remix Style EP … and it's being released digitally on Tuesday (March 5).
The EP features remixes by Diplo and Afrojack, not to mention that much-discussed collaboration with 2 Chainz, which now also features a verse from Tyga. According to Republic, the reworked versions take the song "straight to the dance floor with propulsive production and uncontainable club energy," which is good, because we definitely didn't hear "Gangnam" in every club on the planet last year.
Meanwhile, Psy continues to prep the follow-up to "Gangnam Style," and he's determined to go it alone, eschewing the expected collabos to prove that he's more than a one-hit wonder, as he explained to MTV News earlier this year.
"I don't think I'll be doing any collaborations until my new track is done, and it's not done yet, but I'm thinking of doing it by myself, so I can prove I can do it one more time," he said. "And I'm working hard on it, because I've got to be good with the track and the video, and I've got to be able to perform it on the stage."
Can you take more "Gangnam Style?" Let us know in the comments below!

State of the Rockies Photo Displayed at DIA
Traveling through Denver International Airport this summer? If you're going out of Terminal A, be on the lookout for a photo taken by Steve Weaver, CC's technical director of geology.
The image, which appears on this year's State of the Rockies Report Card and poster, is of a herd of grazing bison with the Crestone Peaks in the background, taken on the Medano Ranch in the San Luis Valley. It will be on display at DIA until July, when it will move to the Colorado State Capitol Building for three months. Because the photo is in a terminal, it can only be viewed by passengers who have cleared security.
The image also was hanging in the Lincoln Center in Fort Collins as part of the Artists' Association of Northern Colorado (AANC) 19th National Art Exhibition and Sale. It was one of 130 works selected out of a total of 800 entries.

Why I Was Late to Class: Too Much Volcanic Ash
Colorado College's drama in London class is experiencing more drama than might be indicated by the syllabus.
CC has 18 students enrolled in Andrew Manley's Drama 330 course titled "Drama Away – London," which runs April 19 through May 12. Many students, however, were late for the start of class, stranded across the United States and Europe by the volcanic ash that disrupted air traffic throughout northern Europe.
Manley says the students are scheduled to see 20 performances – mostly plays, but some dance – while studying in London. He arrived a week before the students, and has been busy trying to exchange tickets for later performances, in hopes that the students will eventually make it to class.
And it looks as though they will. By Monday, April 26, all the students but one were expected to be in London, with the last student arriving on April 27, and only one student dropping the course.
"It isn't the end of the world," Manley said via cell phone from London. "There are worse things than cramming in a lot of great theater."
One of his biggest concerns was that some students may not arrive in time to see "Jerusalem," a new comic play that is billed as "wildly original." Their playbill also includes the "Pirates of Penzance," "Enron," "Spymonkey's Moby Dick," and several Shakespeare plays.
"People have been really, really good about working with me, and have been willing to exchange the tickets we have for other days. They realize this is a natural disaster," Manley said.
Manley's hope that all the students would arrive in London by the second week of the Block seems to have been granted. And it looks like most of the students will have had plenty of experience in drama by then.

2010 State of the Rockies Report Card Now Available Online
Photo by Steve Weaver
The 2010 Colorado College State of the Rockies Report Card, which is dedicated to agriculture in the Rockies, is now available online. Currently in its seventh year, the annual State of the Rockies Report Card, a research project of Colorado College students and faculty, tackles complex and pressing regional issues that often have greater ramifications for the entire nation. The 132-page Report Card delves deep into the region's agricultural history, land and water use, demographics, production, finance, and organization, providing a "foodprint" of Rockies' agriculture. Kudos to this year's student researchers:
* Patrick Creeden '10, researched threats to ranching, ways to preserve ranchland, and open space
* Zoe Wick '10, researched demographics in agriculture, American Indians, women operators in agriculture, and migrant farm labor
* Katherine Sherwood '10, researched land in agriculture, organics and the new food economy, and the Big Thompson water project
* Emil Dimantchev '11, researched the financial side of agriculture, subsidy allocation, and alternative agricultural enterprises
* Jayash Paudel '10, researched farm organization and alternative agricultural enterprises
* Russell Clarke '10, researched agricultural production, particularly bison, dairy, and beef production
During 2009-10, Colorado College also hosted a related series of State of the Rockies Food and Agriculture panels and speakers as part of the college's outreach activities and efforts to strengthen its engagement in the region.

Six Faculty Members Approved for Tenure, Promotion
Six Colorado College faculty members have been approved for tenure and promotion to associate professor. They are:
David Brown, mathematics. Brown joined Colorado College in 2004. He earned a B.A. in liberal arts from St. John's College in Santa Fe, N.M., in 1992 and a Ph.D. in applied mathematics from the University of California, Davis, in 2001. Brown is a mathematical biologist, using mathematical models to investigate biological phenomena. His research is in population biology and ecology, with a recent foray into bacterial genetics. In his dissertation work, he studied stochastic (i.e. incorporating chance) models of the spatial spread of plant diseases. As a postdoctoral candidate, he studied the interactions between global climate change, soil food webs, and nutrient fluxes.
Emily Chan, psychology. Chan joined Colorado College in 2004. She earned a B.A. in psychology from Princeton University in 1997 and a
Ph.D. from the University of Michigan in 2002. Chan's research interests include social psychology; interpersonal perception and self-presentation; prejudice and stereotyping; conflict and negotiation; judgment and decision making; evolutionary psychology; and cross-cultural social psychology.
Gail Murphy-Geiss, sociology. Murphy-Geiss joined Colorado College in 2004. She has a B.A. from Westminster College in Pennsylvania, a master's of divinity from Boston University and a Ph.D. from the University of Denver and Iliff School of Theology. Her doctoral work in religion and social change culminated in a dissertation on family values among mainline Protestants. She teaches in the areas of gender, religion and family, and research methods. Her most recent research projects focus on sexual harassment in the United Methodist Church and women arrested for domestic violence. She also is interested in religion in relation to social institutions, especially law (civil religion and globalization; secularization; Supreme Court decisions on the "separation" of church and state and their social roots/consequences), church-sect-cult development, and new religious movements. Within the sociology of family, she is interested in changing family structures and domestic violence.
Andrew Price-Smith, political science. Price-Smith joined Colorado College in 2005. He has a B.A. from Queen's University in Ontario, an M.A. from the University of Western Ontario, and a Ph.D. in political science from the University of Toronto, where he also served as founding director of the Project on Health and Global Affairs at the Munk Center for International Studies. Before coming to Colorado College, Price-Smith taught in the government and environmental sciences departments at the University of South Florida. He is a specialist in international health and development and biosecurity issues and the author of "The Health of Nations," which was short-listed for the Grawemeyer Award, and "Contagion and Chaos: Disease, Ecology, and National Security in the Era of Globalization."
Wade Roberts, sociology. Roberts joined Colorado College in 2004. He holds a B.A. from Minnesota State University, and an M.A. and Ph.D. from the University of Arizona. He currently teaches courses in political and environmental sociology, the sociology of health and medicine, and quantitative research methods. He also teaches a field-based course on development in Sierra Leone, where he is conducting a case study to examine both the institutional origins of state failure and the present organization of development efforts in a failed state context. That research builds on his continuing cross-national research on the institutional determinants of economic and social development. Roberts is particularly interested in the broad-based impacts of national family planning programs for a variety of development outcomes, and remains engaged in an ongoing project on the politics of institutional design of the U.S. welfare state, examining privatization reform efforts of Social Security and Medicare.
John Williams, history. Williams joined Colorado College in 2004. He earned a B.A. from Indiana University in history and East Asian languages and literature in 1990, an M.A. from Harvard University in East Asian regional studies in 1993, and a Ph.D. in history from the University of California, Berkeley, in 2005. His dissertation, titled "Fraud and Inquest in Jiangnan: The Politics of Examination in Early Qing China," studied the political culture of Qing China using a civil service examination scandal as a point of departure for examining the relationship between ethnic tension, social mobility, and corruption in the early 18th-century. His research interests include 18th-century Qing political culture; Manchu aristocratic politics; the Yongzheng succession; popular religion and peasant militias in 20th-century China; and China, the Columbian exchange, and the Pacific Rim.

Tutt Librarian Steve Lawson Profiled in Library Journal
Steve Lawson, humanities librarian at Tutt Library, was featured in Library Journal, one of the major trade magazines for librarians.
Each year the magazine runs a feature called "Movers and Shakers," in which it profiles about 50 peer-nominated librarians who have been doing interesting things. This year, Lawson was profiled along with his friend Josh Neff, a librarian at Johnson County Library in Kansas. The two started the Library Society of the World (LSW), which Lawson calls "a sometimes-jokey, sometimes-serious association of librarians." LSW serves as a way for librarians to join a supportive personal and professional network online. The group has a running chat session on the FriendFeed social networking site and has raised money for the Louisville Free Public Library, which was flooded last year. Lawson and Neff also initiated the Shovers & Makers awards, a parody of the Library Journal's Movers & Shakers. The Library Journal profile of Lawson (and Neff) can be viewed at:

KRCC's Andrea Chalfin Wins Award for 'Mise en Place' Series
Andrea Chalfin, news director for KRCC, Colorado College's NPR-member radio station, won second place from the Colorado Broadcaster's Association for "Mise en Place" in the "Best Mini-Documentary or Series" category.
"Mise en Place" is a monthly series based on "Colorado Proud," which comes from the Colorado Department of Agriculture and highlights a Colorado agricultural product. Chalfin or one of KRCC News freelancers typically visits a farmer and a chef for each one, though there have been variations, including speaking with a CSU-Pueblo professor about the historical significance of squash in the region. The show also provides recipes online, one from the Colorado Department of Agriculture and one from the chef who is interviewed.

Alumni Gift Launches New Center for Intercultural Leadership
By Kristina Lizardy-Hajbi, interim director of the office of minority and international students
The office of minority and international students is pleased to share some wonderful news! Construction will begin this summer on the Ellis U. Butler Jr. Center for Intercultural Leadership (the current working title), which will be located in the ground level of the Lennox/Glass House.
Butler was an African American student who graduated from Colorado College in 1940. This past year, he passed away, leaving $150,000 to Colorado College. In 1982, when Butler's wife, Ora Brandon Butler, died, he began giving an annual gift to the college in her name. With that gift, he wrote a moving letter highlighting "certain unpleasant experiences I went through as a negro student" while at CC; but he went on to say that he not only survived, but thrived. It was through his reflective comparisons of his "unpleasant experiences" at Colorado College with the "soul-killing racial discrimination" his wife experienced in her native state of Louisiana, that he seemed able to reconcile his own experiences, cast them in a new light and see his circumstances as challenging, but not nearly as challenging as what his wife had endured. In a very real sense, Ellis Butler and his relationship with CC moved to a place of gratitude and forgiveness. His generous gifts throughout the years were certainly indicative of the high esteem in which he still held his alma mater.
Construction is scheduled to begin July 1 and will hopefully be completed in September. The current Student Cultural Center, which has served the needs of students over the years, will be re-designated back to the college in the interests of overall space considerations; its specific use is yet to be determined. While the current structure has served an important role over the past several years, it is currently not the most optimal space in which to host cultural programming for large groups, support student technology needs, or serve as an academic/classroom space. The newly constructed facility will accomplish this, and much more, as it offers:
- A larger, more expansive area to hold greater numbers of people for large meetings and events but also can be divided when necessary for smaller meeting spaces.
- Ideal study spaces—small, intimate corners for individuals or groups of students.
- Creation of a "smart" classroom that automatically increases the usage of the building.
- A kitchen that is twice the size of the current Student Cultural Center kitchen, providing increased counter space and a dining room table for meetings.
- A "bar" area that will be converted into student computing portals.
- Several unused corners and spaces for additional storage, allowing greater management of and access to student organization supplies and materials.
- ADA accessibility through the construction of an architecturally non-invasive lift, thus ensuring complete accessibility for all students and campus members.
- Access to the center through a separate entrance on the north side, eliminating safety issues for residents and designating the center as a public campus space.
Naming this space after Ellis Butler, in a very appropriate way, honors the presence and experience of all minority students—past, present, and future—at Colorado College. We are excited to bring you this wonderful news and hope that you will visit the new center once it is completed. During Homecoming Weekend, we hope to host a large celebration and ribbon-cutting ceremony for current students and alumni, so please watch for details.

LPH is going above and beyond including SAT and SAIC numbers. This is huge imo. This stock is going to pull an ASIA and go sky high above 3 bucks in the next 6 months. This company apparently cares about its long term stockholders by demonstrating core values such as transparency. Very good sign of things to come.
Don't get ahead of yourself here. Breaking and holding 1.34 (50, 200 day moving average) is first thing. Would be happy with that.

Secrets of Success
Regardless: O Holy Night (December 5, 2010)
Monday, November 26, 2012
Now, before I get into the actual blog, I'm just going to go ahead and point out how I don't think things straight. I actually thought I was going to write this out on my phone. I was going to use the WordPress mobile site on my cracked Windows Mobile phone.
Not going to happen. I would have better luck getting a post up using a chisel and a stone tablet.
But I digress.
The other night (Friday), I went to the Barlow Girl Christmas concert. Now, it was one of those nights where every. single. thing that was said was something that has been on my heart/mind during the past few weeks/days. I cried more during that concert than I have during the entire calendar year.
One of the things that really stuck out to me was Becca Barlow's speech on her favorite Christmas song as a child: "What Child is This?" Now, I started crying during the middle of her speech, so I wasn't really listening to the whole thing… but she talked about how she wasn't really sure why she loved the song so much until she got a little older. (This is the point where I started crying… she probably started talking about love and feeling unworthy, s that would explain it).
The weird thing about that happened a little later.
Now, I don't think I have a favorite childhood Christmas song. If I had to pick, it would probably be Sandi Patti's "The Gift Goes On" or Evie Tornquist's "Come on Ring those Bells." Favorite traditional song? Not a clue. (Though I did have a favorite movie: Veggietales: The Toy that Saved Christmas…I cried when I watched it the other day.)
I think at one point, I fell in love with "Away in a Manger," but that was probably because I was one of three who got picked to sing the last verse at a Christmas concert at church (I was probably somewhere between the ages of 10 and 12).
Over the past few years, I have fallen in love with "Oh Holy Night." I have no clue why I fell in love with it. I just assumed it had to do with the music itself. It's the one song I challenge myself to record a decent version for my Youtube channel every year. Thing is, I don't typically fall in love with songs for the music. There has to be something within the lyrics.
So, I was definitely pleased when that song was played at the concert. Then, somewhere during the song, Alyssa brought attention to one line in the song:
"'Til He appeared, and the soul felt its worth."
Remember how I said I started crying when Becca started talking about love and feeling unworthy, etc? That's because one of the biggest struggles in my life is accepting my worth/value in Christ. The moment Alyssa pointed out that line, I knew why I loved the song so much. I fell in love with the song right when my struggles with that area really progressed.
Just out of curiosity, I decided to take a look at the full lyrics of the song (I only really know the first verse).
"Chains He shall break
for the slave is our brother
and in His name
all oppression shall cease"
I'm not even sure what to say about that one. There's just something about those lines that speaks to my heart in a way that I can't wrap my mind around. All I know is that it's part of the reason I love the song so much, but I can't find the words to explain why… at least not in a way that will express how it makes me feel.

Ever since Jeremy Corbyn announced he was standing as a candidate in last year's leadership election, the smear stories have been relentless and increasingly shrill in their tone. 770 more words
The curious case of Dr. Ortner resurfaces today as I discover that I have been named as a potential murderer by Kevin Annett who states in a terrible show dated May 3rd, 2015. I say terrible because to listen to poor Lori being dragged into recounting just what happened at Brantford was painful and cringe-worthy. Kevin made a very deliberate attempt to insinuate that I somehow had something to do with the pre-eminent scientists death, while casually making reference to me as 'some woman' and my blog, "StopKevinAnnett.com". Listen at 30:00 minutes here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PvT-pEJFG6Y Here's what Kevin said: "after that happened, I contacted a guy called Dr. Don Ortner, he's a senior forensic pathologist, or was, before he died, um, at the Smithsonian Institute in Washington, and his specialty was, uh, analyzing, uh, um...from bone remains, cause of death. So he'd be exactly what we need because a lot of these kids were exposed to tuberculosis and died and that shows up in bone remains. Now I sent off that bone that Greg Olson had looked at to Don Ortner. I got two emails from him and I talked to him on the phone once, uh the first one was: "Uh, I haven't really looked at the bone, it looks like an animal to me." Second communication he said, "Well I've looked at it longer and frankly it could be either. It's too small to tell I'd have to come and look at more of these." And I said, "would you do that?", and he said "sure, I'd be willing to come up". Now that was in late January 2012, and he died of a heart attack in April. You can read into that whatever you like, uh, but what I found interesting was the usual smear, StopKevinAnnett.com and these other sites that just kinda smear us...About a couple of weeks before Don Ortner died, this woman, uh, whose always going on about what a horrible man I am, said, "And all that stuff he's claiming about Dr. Don Ortner, he's never going to testify about any of this stuff"....AND THEN HE'S DEAD. Now, you know I just found that interesting, it's almost as if she knew the guy was going to die because, well my personal theory is that these are government funded smear sites. And I think SOMETHING HAPPENED TO DON ORTNER, but that's just my personal opinion, I don't have any proof about that." Well of course this is just ridiculous, because unless I had a time machine and could go back to when Kevin (allegedly) made contact with Dr. Ortner...in fact to when Kevin conducted the dig....I suppose I could have boarded a plane to Washington, made an appointment to see Dr. Ortner and slip him the old Spy vs. Spy heart-attack cocktail in his coffee. That MUST be what happened to make Kevin draw such a well-educated conclusion such as this. Everyone who disagrees with him MUST be an agent (and a paid one at that). Strange that for a guy who boasts that he never has to pay income tax, he sure is jealous over the money those state paid agents make. In any case I decided to bring the matter to Kevin's attention, seeing as he has taken to making shit up as he goes along again about Dr. Ortner, and of course people like Andy Peacher who run this radio program feel he is in fine form. But I bet if I asked Lori how playing happy homemaker to the biggest joke in Truther History is going....I think the truth might finally be revealed. You see, a woman knows another womans' tone of voice and what that means and when you hear Lori answer the questions (at about 4 minutes into the show) being asked by her hubby Kevin, any woman in the world would know the sound that hatred makes. Of course, like most men, Kevin would miss the subtle cues of seething rage in her responses, her disgust and impatience with him. It was painfully obvious there was somewhere she would have rather have been than on that show that day....anything would be better than jumping through Kevin's hoops like a little circus dog. And, so, I sent my correspondence to her as well, hoping that there is a tipping point there somewhere where she will get fed up with his bullshit, come clean with all his lies and finally put an end to his long-con and kick him out of his 'undisclosed location' in the attic of her house. [caption id="attachment_1585" align="aligncenter" width="651"] Kevin Annett reporting from his 'Undisclosed' location in the attic of Lori's house.[/caption] Of course Kevin refused to answer any of my questions, or respond to any of the points I made. I really didn't expect any kind of intelligent answer and I as usual, I wasn't disappointed.

Bellevue police officers shot and killed a man they say confronted them with a large butcher knife early Thursday morning.
Bellevue police officers shot and killed a man they say confronted them with a large butcher knife early Thursday morning.
The 25-year-old Bellevue man apparently told a clerk at a Chevron station in the 1600 block of Bellevue Way Southeast to call 911 because he was taking the gas station hostage, said Bellevue police spokeswoman Carla Iafrate.
He refused to let two employees and two customers leave, but walked outside when police arrived around 2:35 a.m., she said.
The man advanced toward two officers as they came around the south side of the building — holding the knife up in an overhand grip and moving it as he pointed the blade at the officers, Iafrate said.

A third officer, who was closer to Bellevue Way, "could see him walking toward the officers as they came around the corner and yelled: 'He's got a knife — he's coming toward you,' " Iafrate said. "It all happened really fast."
The two officers fired their service weapons, killing the man, she said. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
One of the officers who fired is 31 and has been with Bellevue police for four years; the other is 27 and was hired two years ago, but previously worked for another law-enforcement agency, Iafrate said.
Both have been placed on administrative leave, which is routine after an officer-involved shooting.
A fourth officer was on the north side of the building at the time of the shooting, she said.
The King County Medical Examiner's Office is still trying to notify the man's family of his death, Iafrate said. She declined to say how many times the man was shot.
Mike Winters, the manager at the 24-hour gas station, said he turned surveillance video over to police.
Bernice Nurse, who lives on the other side of a greenbelt across Bellevue Way from the Chevron station, threw on sweats and sneakers Thursday morning and went into the station's convenience store to find out what had happened.
Her dogs started barking around 2:30 a.m., waking her up. Soon after, "I heard eight shots — boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, one right after another," said Nurse, who is retired.
"It was scary," she said. "I've never been that close to gunfire in my life."
The shots were so loud, "it was like it was right in my own backyard," Nurse said.
Hours later, Nurse said, her 16-year-old stepson called to tell her that Bellevue Way was still shut down and he had to detour around the scene to get to school. He watched as investigators loaded a body bag into a van.
The last officer-involved shooting in Bellevue was in July 2009, when 61-year-old John Pebles was killed by police responding to a domestic-violence call. Pebles had confronted the officers with a knife before the shooting in a gas station parking lot, police said.
Seattle Times staff reporter Susan Gilmore contributed to this report, which includes information from Times archives.
