From the Inside Flap
Appalled by the punishment of her rebellious friend Nazrah, youngest and most petulant wife of Prince Bawad of Wasabia, Florence Farfarletti decides to draw a line in the sand. As Deputy to the deputy assistant secretary for Near East Affairs, Florence invents a far-reaching, wide-ranging plan for female emancipation in that part of the world.
The U.S. government, of course, tells her to forget it. Publicly, that is. Privately, she's enlisted in a top-secret mission to impose equal rights for the sexes on the small emirate of Matar (pronounced "Mutter"), the "Switzerland of the Persian Gulf." Her crack team: a CIA killer, a snappy PR man, and a brilliant but frustrated gay bureaucrat. Her weapon: TV shows.
The lineup on TV Matar includes "A Thousand and One Mornings, a daytime talk show that features self-defense tips to be used against boyfriends during Ramadan; an addictive soap opera featuring strangely familiar members of the Matar royal family; and a sitcom about an inept but ruthless squad of religious police, pitched as ""Friends from Hell."
The result: the first deadly car bombs in the country since 1936, a fatwa against the station's entire staff, a struggle for control of the kingdom, and, of course, interference from the French. And that's only the beginning.
A merciless dismantling of both American ineptitude andArabic intolerance, "Florence of Arabia is Christopher Buckley's funniest and most serious novel yet, a biting satire of how U.S. good intentions can cause the Shiite to hit the fan.

I won't cover the plot points because I don't want to spoil the surprise. Suffice it that I laughed out loud when I saw the title in the "New Releases" section at B&N, read the first couple of chapters, bought it, and read it in an evening - laughing most of the way (there are some sad parts, but there are more outrageously funny ones.)
A character in the book, referred to as Uncle Sam, sums up the situation that has been created well into the book quite neatly when he opines: "As I recall, the mission was to empower Arab women and bring about some kind of stability in the Middle East. There were those who said, 'Are you out of your mind?' Others said, 'We've tried everything else, why not give it a shot? What harm can it do??" Ha! And how did it all turn out? With a coup detat - and how appropriate to use the French term for it - against the only stable country in the region. Not only did it not work, but it brought about the further enslavement of two point five million Arab women, along with the empwerment of a psychotic race-car driver, to say nothing of a whopping increase in Wasabi oil prices that may well determine the outcome of the next presidential election. And did I mention France getting naval bases in the Gulf?
And that's far from the end of the story.
It's a fun ride and done so very well. Hop on and enjoy the trip.
This may be Buckley's best work yet. While I read it for the laughs, this novel is both informative and persuasive on the political circumstances of the middle east. Moreso than any editorial or talking head, this book demonstrates both the madness of the sheiks and playboy princes of the middle east, not to mention the mullahs, but also the futility of western intervention.
In the final analysis, this book may stand alongside Gulliver's Travels in the annals of great satire.
Brilliant, and I can't wait for Buckley's next work.

Who Runs this Show?
You think you run your life? You think you're in charge of your perfect suburban life? What forces influence you, and the outcomes you hope for? In Florence of Arabia, the Christopher Buckley critiques the forces of patriarchy, media, feminism, U.S. Foreign policy/government, power, and religion. Unfortunately, while doing so he offers no real solutions, but grim realities.
Buckley refers to these topics usually indirectly, but at other times directly through his characters. Patriarchy is prevalent in Florence of Arabia. It covers the state department, CIA, FBI, the governments of Matar and Wasabi, and even Florence's "A Team." All of the people who rank higher than Florence are all male. All of them. The only other significant female character (the Sheik) is portrayed as strong, but constantly persecuted by her husband who rules Matar. At the very beginning of the story we learn of Nazrah and her inability to drive. Why? Because she was prohibited from doing so. "Wasabi women were not permitted to drive." Not only was she not allowed to drive, but she was not the prince's only wife. All throughout the novel we hear that every person in middle eastern thrones has many women to choose from. One of the most interesting moments in the novel however is when Florence rejects the orders of the mysterious "Uncle Sam," and goes it on her own. When she does so all funding and protection stops. The minute anything becomes fundamentally her idea no one stands with her. Even Bobby (who makes love to her more than once in the book) constantly curses at her for her ideas, and desires.
Florence's desires are commonly called into question when her ideas have the ability to reach others.Read more ›
The excellent narration on the audio version added even more to the enjoyment, as the reader had a voice for every character and there was never any doubt who was speaking.
An excellent read or listen, not to be missed by those who appreciate political humor and satire.

CINDY'S LAMENT Lyrics
Artist: Rod Stewart
Album: Rod Stewart Album
(Rod Stewart)
Listen here
You don't have to love me always Cindy
You don't need to see me every day of the week
You don't have to notice my brand new shoes
But please, please say hello some time
You know I've tried to impress you Cindy
I even lent ya my library book
I guess you forgot, good God you soon forgot it woman
I don't mind but please say hello some time
And your mother she can't stand my face
And your brother keeps me from your door
But I'll stay around yes I'll stay around honey
I'll even watch over your garden fence
I've watched your friends Cindy laugh in my face
But I won't apologize for the way that I am
If only they knew baby, yes if only they knew
that you've already spent one night with me honey

With data volumes growing exponentially and legacy data management architectures reaching their limitations, CIOs are exploring ways to harness emerging technologies like predictive analytics, machine learning, and cognitive computing to transform the way their companies manage and leverage information.
Consumer products companies collect massive amounts of highly detailed information about individual consumers that cybercriminals would love to get their hands on. CIOs who make a priority of protecting this information may help their companies gain an advantage in an industry that has only just begun to address cyber risk.
Deloitte LLP CEO Cathy Engelbert shares some perspectives on top-of-mind issues for senior executives, including the threats and opportunities posed by disruptive technologies, the talent crunch, and cyber risks. She also discusses the influence of innovation in professional services and the importance and value of a diverse workforce.
Some companies are looking to leapfrog their competition by acquiring smaller, nimbler companies that have developed valuable proprietary technology. But often, very little information is available to help assess a target's technology environment prior to placing an initial bid. CIOs can help their organizations ferret out IT value and assess the risks of the deal.
Cultivating your personal digital brand is no mere act of vanity. It is more important than ever for executives to manage their online reputation. Deloitte LLP CMO Diana O'Brien shares her perspectives on the necessity to cultivate your online brand, social media as a personal brand-building tool, and what's she learned about how to remain true to herself online.
The internet of things has the potential to reshape mobility, but doing so will require organizations to cultivate the foresight and courage to change traditional ways of thinking. Toyota executive Sandy Lobenstein, an avowed "car guy," shares his company's vision for the future of IoT and compelling implications for the automobile industry.
The vast majority of parents polled for Deloitte's 2016 Back-to-School Survey say they will spend at least as much on school supplies, clothing, and electronics for their children as they did last year. But these savvy consumers are likely to approach their back-to-school missions as surgical strikes—using online research to score the best deals in stores or purchasing online for convenient in-store pickup or free shipping.
Organizations looking to initiate or expand data analytics programs express difficulty finding the data scientists they need on their rosters. But professionals with these skills are more readily available than we're led to believe, says data analytics guru Tom Davenport.
CIOs in high-performing companies tend to be valued more by their companies, leading them to enjoy greater credibility and influence, according to new research from Deloitte's CIO Program. But applying the lessons learned from these CIOs requires fulfilling prerequisites first. In this article, the second in a two-part series, the fundamentals of prioritizing like a high-performing company CIO are examined.
As CIOs confront the challenges of near-constant change inside and outside their organizations, they can glean insights from the ways in which peers in market-leading companies are shaping their roles. New research from Deloitte's CIO program reveals that CIOs in high-performing companies do things differently. They prioritize performance and growth, relationships, talent, customers and cybersecurity—and they are rewarded with more budget, budget control, and strategic input.

The programmatic ecosystem has evolved significantly over the past several years, and personalized retargeting as one of many programmatic solutions has become more and more prevalent. Today, it is obvious that using a single retargeter is not always optimal. In fact, running two to three retargeting campaigns with different providers can bring much better results without any additional cost. Here's why it works.

Josh LeRibeus among the half-dozen Redskins guards getting 'cross-trained' at center, as an insurance policy.
Who stood out at Washington's second offseason practice session of the week.
The Redskins hope that the intensified approach translates to increased success in the run game, where they have excelled the last three seasons, and in the pass protection department, one of their greater weaknesses.
Life changed last week for second-year Redskins guard Spencer Long, but he's trying not to think of it in that way.
The Redskins are back on the field, and Wednesday's practice session is open to reporters. Here are some of the things we'll be looking at.
The Redskins' offseason continues to roll along. We're still roughly two months away from training camp, but there's plenty of action going on with today's start of the offseason practices.
Redskins Coach Jay Gruden likes way the rookie guard feasts on criticism.
Redskins mailbag: Rookies who impressed, why Robert Griffin III and the 2012 offense aren't coming back, and why La'el Collins wasn't drafted
In today's mailbag, we discuss how the rookies looked on the field, take a long, hard look at Robert Griffin III and the offense, and answer a few other questions.
Washington has not addressed right tackle, right guard, outside linebacker or free safety in free agency. But coach Jay Gruden said each of those voids could be filled by a current Redskin.
The guard who helped the Seahawks nearly repeat as Super Bowl champions might not be a prize in free agency. Here's a closer look.

Not "in addition to that". You should only use the memory-mb configuration. Giving 15GB to NodeManger itself will eat into the total memory available for containers.

[IMAGE]Baltimore-Red-Line-2.jpg[/IMAGE]The Maryland Transit Administration's (MTA) Baltimore Red Line has received the FTA approval to move forward and enter the engineering phase, according to state officials.
Formally known as "preliminary engineering," the phase includes preparation of more detailed plans, schedules and cost estimates as well as completion of final environmental studies.The FTA review of the Red Line proposal focused on the project's ridership and benefits as well as the state's financial commitment and technical capacity to build and operate the project.The proposed Red Line is a 14.5-mile, east-west transit line connecting the areas of Woodlawn, Edmondson Village, West Baltimore, downtown Baltimore, Inner Harbor East, Fells Point, Canton and the Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center Campus. When constructed, the Red Line will run mostly in dedicated surface rights of way with tunnels under Cooks Lane, downtown and Fells Point. The Red Line, expected to be completed in 2020, will carry 57,000 riders per day in 2030 and cost approximately $1.8 billion in Year 2010 dollars. Accounting for inflation, the cost is approximately $2.2 billion. The current ridership forecast is slightly down from the prior forecast of 60,000 riders per day based on input from the FTA.In addition to preparing various required management and conceptual plans, the MTA has launched a public involvement initiative centered around the 20 proposed stations. More than 250 citizen volunteers are participating on 17 Station Area Advisory Committees.
The committees are providing input on both how the Red Line can support their vision for the future of their communities as well as design options such as the location of station platforms and safe pedestrian access. The committee members presented their preliminary finding at open houses held along the corridor in May. The MTA also is preparing detailed criteria that will shape the design work. In collaboration with Baltimore City, a hallmark of the project is a high standard for "green" design for elements such as landscaping and storm water management, alternative energy, lighting, use of recycled materials and accommodation for bicycles.Preliminary engineering is expected to take approximately two years and is followed by final design, during which plans are finalized and put out to bid. The Maryland Department of Transportation's capital budget includes funding for the preliminary engineering, final design phases and right-of-way phases, and construction funding will be addressed by 2015 when it is first needed.
Assuming state and federal funding is available and following the award of contracts and construction, the Red Line is expected to be completed around 2020. Information prepared during preliminary engineering forms the basis of FTA's decision to fund a project which typically occurs during final design.Maryland's rapid transit expansion initiatives also include the Purple Line and Corridor Cities Transitway, both located in Montgomery and Prince George's counties. The Purple Line is at a similar level of development, and is expected to receive approval to advance to preliminary engineering later this summer. MTA is nearing completion of planning work for the Corridor Cities Transitway, and preparation of materials for FTA review will start later this year.METRO Extra: To read about MTA's new interactive voice response system for its paratransit service, click here.
Cincinnati Bell will pay $340,000 per year for 10 years under the agreement.
The $900,000 in funds will be used to hire contractors to specifically participate in FTA's oversight efforts in an effort to eventually transfer that knowledge and expertise to the new Metrorail Safety Commission.
Extending from Farmingdale to Ronkonkoma, the track will dramatically reduce delays on the LIRR and enable more off peak service in both directions by adding 13 miles of parallel track.
Board chair Jay Schenirer said last week that the agency needs to prove that it really is providing a cleaner, friendlier and safer service before major sponsors are likely to sign on.

Pediatric Occupational Therapy Assistant: Job Description & Requirements
Learn about the education and preparation needed to become a pediatric occupational therapy assistant. Get a quick view of the requirements as well as details about degree programs, job duties and licensure to find out if this is the career for you.
Essential Information
A pediatric occupational therapy assistant works closely with certified occupational therapists (OTs) to help children improve their ability to complete day-to-day tasks. Prospective OT assistants must earn an associate's degree, and most states require that OT assistants be licensed prior to working with patients.
|Required Education
|Associate's degree
|Licensure and Certification
|License required in most states; certification is recommended
|Projected Job Growth (2012-2022)*
|43% for all OT assistants
|Average Salary (2013)*
|$55,250 for all OT assistants
Source: *U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics
Job Description
In general, children who receive occupational therapy are born with physical or mental impairments or were injured and need rehabilitative therapy to return to their normal level of daily function. Through monitored exercises and treatment plans, pediatric occupational therapy assistants work to help children improve in a variety of cognitive and physical areas.
Therapy assistants generally work in hospitals, rehabilitation centers, schools and occasionally in patients' homes. Working closely with certified pediatric occupational therapists, assistants teach children the correct way to perform movements, stretches or developmental exercises. Assistants also help manage patient records and insurance claims as well as develop therapy plans and goals for individual patients.
The minimum education requirement to become a pediatric occupational therapy assistant is an associate's degree. Prospective OT assistants should earn an Associate of Applied Science degree in Occupational Therapy or a related field.
Program Courses
Most pediatric occupational therapy assistant programs will require students to complete approximately two years of classes, and many programs also require students to complete an internship. Core classes include:
- Human anatomy and physiology
- Introduction to occupational therapy
- Dynamics of human motion
- Pediatric principles and techniques
- Medical terminology
After earning an associate's degree, pediatric occupational therapy assistants will need to get licensed before entering the workforce. Most states require that assistants be licensed, which can be achieved by passing a licensing exam. Some states require candidates to complete continuing education courses to maintain their license to practice as an occupational therapy assistant.
In general, certification requirements vary by state. Although it is not mandatory, taking the national board exam is strongly encouraged. Additionally, a passing score on the national certification exam satisfies the licensing requirements of some states.
Salary and Career Outlook
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) does not collect information on pediatric occupational therapy assistants specifically. However, its projection for the occupational therapy assistant profession overall is that employment will increase by 43% between 2012 and 2022, a far higher rate than the average for all professions. In 2013, the BLS listed an average annual salary of $55,250 for occupational therapy assistants in general.

Tuesday, October 8, 2002
A pickup truck ran into an excursion train on Sunday afternoon at the intersection of the tracks with Woodworth Road.
The front end of the vehicle driven by Thomas W. Durham, 21, of Parkdale was totalled.
The Mt. Hood Railroad cars, estimated to be carrying 70 passengers, were undamaged and no one aboard was injured, according to a report by the Hood River County Sheriff's Office.
Durham was also unharmed but his passenger, Marian McFall, 76, sustained a minor bump on her head and other contussions. She was transported via ambulance to Providence Hood River Memorial Hospital where she was treated and released.
Deputy Marc Smith, who investigated the accident, said the train was traveling about 14 miles an hour through the intersection when Durham struck it while moving at about 30 miles per hour.
There are no crossing guards at the junction and Durham reported to Smith that he did not hear the horn of the approaching train as he was pulling an empty horse trailer west on Woodworth with his 1994 Chevy three-quarter ton truck.
No charges were filed over the collision.

My school is a historical black college surrounded with great people. I would choose Tuskegee because it has so much history.

Attending Tuskegee University, allowed me to broaden my views and perspective of life. I was able to face challenges and conquer them with no problem. Being away from home for the first time, allowed me to gain more maturity and wisdom. I became involved in various clubs, and was introduced to many activities I never thought I would be interested in. I became a tour guide for "The Oaks," home of Booker T. Washington, and a volunteer at the George Washington Carver Museum. I also went through woods with my professors, searching for streams to test the water for alkalinity, hardness, and pH, due to an internship I earned through out the school year. I met new people and created new bonds. I believe I enhanced my knowledge in the field of Chemistry, and I am ready to learn more of it so that I can be the best at anything I decide to do. I was invited to do an internship at Iowa State University under the Center for Biorenewable Chemicals, and I proudly accepted it. I finished my first year with a 4.0 grade point average. My first year of college was very successful, and I plan on many more successful years at Tuskegee University.

In the Lehigh Valley close to 2,000 people rely on Meals on Wheels for food but sequestration cuts could halt thousands of meals from being delivered.
Monday officials made a special delivery they hopes sways Washington.
Messages that are poignant
"Could not survive without meals on wheels."
"Meals on Wheels means I will always have something to eat."
And with purpose.
"If I didn't have meals on wheels I'd have to go to a senior living facility."
Personal stories penned on paper plates and read to us by Meals on Wheels of Lehigh County head Pamela Bechtel.
"We do this everyday. We know how important it is to our clients, but when you read words like that," she tearfully told us.
Close to 2,000 Lehigh Valley senior citizen clients rely on the agency, not only for lunch and dinner but also mail delivery, relief from the heat, or as 92-year-old Lydia Moser tells us a little conversation.
"Nice to have someone come out because I don't go out often," she said.
But $1.6 million federal cut resulted in the Government sequestration, could put the brakes on service for some. 7-thousand meals are in danger of being lost here in the Lehigh Valley.
"I'd don't know what I'd do without Meals on Wheels," Lydia read.
Cue the plates. They're part of the national "Don't Empty My Plate," campaign.
"Advocating for the rights of seniors who can' advocate for themselves," Meal on Wheels Northampton County head Joann Nenow said.
Call it the power of paper, as close to 400 hand written plates were delivered to Congressman Charlie Dent's office in South Whitehall Township.
The goal? Sway lawmakers to restore the funding.
"That is part of the challenge we need to be better at balancing this and making it more proportional," Dent said.
Dent does believe by the end of the year there will be a redistributing of the sequestration cuts.
Which could mean good news to agencies like Meals on Wheels.

'The Amazing Spider-Man' May Feature Huge Battle Scene With Lizards
An interesting detail from "The Amazing Spider-Man" has allegedly been revealed. BigFanBoy (via Slash Film) reports that the movie directed by Marc Webb will include a big battle scene that could be "quite memorable".
One of the primary important crew members reportedly spilled the beans that "many of the stunt actors in the film have been spending time in heavy make-up for hours on end because of a fight scene in the film where [SPOILER ALERT!] they're turning all the S.W.A.T. team guys into reptilian creatures." The site then speculates that it might be the work of The Lizard.
Rhys Ifans has been cast as a major villain and his character is reportedly Dr. Curt Connors aka The Lizard. Irrfan Khan is tapped to play another villain, Nels Van Adder, who becomes the Proto-Goblin in the comic books. Andrew Garfield takes the titular role with Emma Stone playing his love interest Gwen Stacy.
James Vanderbilt writes the script for the upcoming July 3, 2012 release. Marvel Executive producer Avi Arad recently claimed the new "Spider-Man" movie will still tie to Sam Raimi's original trilogy, saying "It's not a comeback. You have to look at it this way: Do you want to know more about The Amazing Spider-Man? This movie is going to tell stories that you didn't see in movies 1, 2, and 3."
