The Farewell
The Farewell is an account of the final days of the poet, playwright, and theater director, Bertolt Brecht (played by Josef Bierbichler). It recounts a single day of his vacation miles outside of Berlin where he prepared, alongside his reviser, wife, daughter, and mistresses, for the new theater season. The interests of everyone present clash on several matters, most importantly Brecht's health, which was in rapid decline. His wife Helene/Helli (Monica Bleibtreu) stands by as others dote on him. Many, including Kathe (Jeanette Hain), a young actress who seems to be his latest muse and mistress, take priority over his own wife and daughter, Barbara, in terms of attention. Also present on the estate for the vacation is Wolfgang Harich and his wife Isot. Harich is a political reformer who openly shares his wife with Brecht. To complete the picture is Elizabeth, his reviser, and Ruth, an old mistress past middle age who is now an alcoholic and an emotional wreck over the fact that Brecht no longer takes interest in her.
On the morning of their last day of vacation a Stasi officer comes calling and wishes to speak with Brecht's wife in private. He asks if the Harichs are present in their company, and once this has been confirmed, he informs Helli that by sundown they plan to arrest their friends for high treason, no doubt due to Wolfgang's radical activities. The officer asks that everyone on the estate clear out by six o'clock that evening and gives her a number to call and a signal to recite when it's safe for them to take action. He also asks her to not inform the Harichs of the arrest or their conversation, and in doing so, she will keep herself and Brecht out of danger.
La Haine
"It's not the fall that kills, but the way you land."
—Hubert's philosophical metaphor of falling is emotionally applied to survival in the projects in 1995's La Haine.
Murderous Maids
As stated in the previous review of Sister My Sister, Murderous Maids is a biopic on the Papin sisters. I listed the flaws of the former, and surprisingly found few to no flaws in this production. Alluding to the various interpretations of the sisters' lives, this film is more complete due to the fact that it goes into their childhood and background as maids, beginning with the convent where they were raised and educated. There's a hefty age difference between the two, and Christine is shattered when her mother informs her that her father, who's away at war, raped their older sister Emilia, who later became a nun. When the young Christine, who is also very religious, expresses her desire to also be a nun, her mother revolts out of spite, telling the child she would be a servant like her.
While Lea (Julie-Marie Paramentier) was still in school the adult Christine (Sylvie Testud) slaved away in various households as her mother collected most of the earnings and found her new positions. When Lea became a teenager her mother put her to work as well, and Christine's protests to this were due to the fact that she wanted a better life for her and because Lea informed her that the men in the current house she worked at took certain liberties with her and their mother. When their mother informs them that she plans to find work for them in the same household, the two are very pleased. They learn how the place works and do a splendid job until the volatile Christine ruins it and they're back at square one. She's forced to split from her sister, who she has a sexual attachment to, and finds work alone in a wonderful estate with a fairly nice woman and her adult daughter.
Day for Night
"We meet, we work together, we love each other, and then...pfft...as soon as we grasp something, it's gone."
— The aging actress Severine's (played by Italian starlet Valentia Cortese) astute lament on the intangible nature of filmmaking resounds the yearning romance of all art in Francois Truffaut's 1973 film, Day for Night.
Elevator to the Gallows
Combining the splendid black and white photography of Henri Decaë, the magnetic force of Jeanne Moreau, and a superb jazz score by Miles Davis, Louis Malle's directorial debut is incomparable in terms of mood and style.
The film was poorly received by critics but has since been deemed a masterpiece, both in terms of direction and pre-new wave modernity. The score by Miles Davis, accompanied with then unknown players and bop drummer Kenny Clarke, would fuel Davis to take on certain conventions within jazz—most notably, the kind heard through his album Kind of Blue that followed two years after the film's release. Decaë's work would also become prominent in the works of several new wave directors, specifically Truffaut and Chabrol. Perhaps the most interesting quality to the film is the fact that it is a rarity from Malle. It marks the first and only time that the director tried his hand at noir, or worked so tightly in the confines of a genre. As it goes with films like Riffifi and Le Cercle Rouge, the criminal aspects of it are somewhat downplayed by a wonderful cast and outstanding photography.
The last decades haven't been that great for real-life political radicalism, but in the movies it's been extraordinary: Baader Meinhof Complex, Munich, Che, the cartoonish Eight Miles High, and now, Olivier Assayas's extraordinary bio Carlos (epic is an understatement). Not since the glory days of The Battle of Algiers, State Of Siege, and Z have political terror cells been so damn entertaining. Even more thanV for Vendetta, Carlos is one of the giddiest pro-terrorism flicks ever made. Originally made for French television, the five-hour-plus Carlos has been released in theaters at different lengths; but The Criterion Collection DVD includes the three episodes, at their original length, spread over three discs (with a fourth disc containing an excellent French documentary that helps to fill in the holes). Carlos is so dense with history and international period detail that seeing those above-mentioned films (which have a number of crossover characters and references in Carlos) definitely helps make the film easier to follow. But that's not to say you have to be a history major to appreciate Carlos; it's so riveting and Carlos, the character, is so fascinating that just committing to it proves amazingly rewarding.
In Episode One we meet Ilich Ramírez Sánchez, AKA Carlos (Edgar Ramirez), a young Venezuelan man who claims to be a Marxist committed to the anti-imperialism and pro-Palestinian causes (though not always pro Arab). We get no back story; the film opens with Carlos already established in political terrorist circles. He's no modern day religious zealot; he seems to just be a fearless, hunky, suave playboy who is socially connected to every radical group from Europe to the Middle East. While seducing a woman he plays with his guns and has her orally pleasure a grenade while telling her "weapons are an extension of my body." He smokes and drinks; at first the operatives above him treat him like a kid, but as his criminal star rises they begin to fear him. He's a would-be assassin, with more than nine lives under his belt. But unlike The Jackal in The Day of the Jackal he's not in it for the money; he's clumsy and his plots are not as well planned out. Though Carlos and his comrades kill a lot of people in many countries they often get killed a lot themselves. Many women come and go throughout his life; some join his struggle, while others are just lovers. Episode One ends on a suspenseful note as Carlos and a makeshift little international militant group are preparing to attack OPEC headquarters in Vienna.
It's not an overstatement to say that Jean-Luc Godard's noiry, crime-romance Breathless (À bout de souffle) may be one of the most important films of a very important film era—a game changer. For the film critic turned filmmaker, Breathless Godard's first feature and it helped to define an exciting new cinema movement that was brewing among young cinephiles in France now known as The French New Wave. With its hand-held photography, jump cutting, improvised script, and natural lighting, it carefully broke many rules of formal cinema. Inspired by American crime films, mostly the B-movies that that generation of the French critics came to appreciate long before their American counterparts, it romanticized the underworld, without the moral lessons of so many similar American movies. The film also gives a shout-out to Jean-Pierre Melville's Bob Le Flambeur, another film inspired by American Noirs. Playing the film's lead, a small-time crook with a death wish, Breathless put actor Jean-Paul Belmondo on the map. His gripping and charismatic performance reeks of his influences, most notably Humphrey Bogart and Marlon Brando. Like so many filmmakers to come, from Martin Scorsese to Quentin Tarantino (who both cite Breathless as a major influence), Godard's work, and Breathless in particular, was a tribute to the movies that came before that the director admired.
After Michael (Belmondo) steals a car and then shoots a cop, he finds himself on the run. Still always playing it cool, he hides out in Paris with an American girl, Patricia (Jean Seberg), a New York Herald Tribune street vendor. Like the best of French couples they smoke a lot of cigarettes, have sex, and talk philosophically about themselves. She is in love with him, but he is selfish and utterly self-obsessed, as he makes Bogart-like faces in a mirror always trying to perfect his gangster persona. She knows he's bad news but maybe that's what makes her even more devoted. She may be a naive waif, but she's also college bound; she's not a simpleton like Sissy Spacek in Badlands, she just wants a classic bad-boy lover. Her love and her own need to survive eventually lead her to rat him out to the cops. In a long famous death scene he is shot and killed before falling breathless.
Who Wants to Kill Jessie?
Who Wants to Kill Jessie? is an underrated gem from a Czech New Wave director that hardly anybody has heard of. It plays on the conventions of comic strips, the mystery of dreams, and communist efforts in Czechoslovakia—with mad scientists who represent brainwashing.
Ruzenka (Dana Medricka) and Jindrich (Jiri Sovak) are a married couple who are both scientists. Each is trying to come up with an invention that will lead them to a Nobel Prize, and both are fairly eccentric. Ruzenka is in the medical field and has found a formula that she's named "KR VI" that can take undesirable qualities about dreams and replace them with pleasant ones. Jindrich is an engineer trying to find a way to increase production in his otherwise incompetent firm.
Songs from the Second Floor
This film is one in which everyone is a spectator, being human is extremely difficult, and the viewer is given a looking-glass into the sordid lives of characters who function in a gray existence.
Many compare the film to Swedish Opera, but for me it is like a blend of performance art and visual poetry that takes everyday life and heightens your awareness of its many disappointments to the point that it is both painful and funny.
Loves of a Blonde
New Wave filmmakers are given credit for the way that contemporary cinema has developed. French and Italian directors in the '60s were, and still are, given the most attention abroad for their work, but there are many films from Iran, East Asia and Czechoslovakia that are lesser-known gems. Milos Forman's filmography consists of many acclaimed films, including One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest and Amadeus, but Loves of a Blonde marks the beginning of his worldwide popularity and his first Academy Award nomination. When the film premiered at the New York Film Festival, it was considered to be as endearing and classic as Truffaut's The 400 Blows, which had its premier a few years earlier. The prevailing formalistic approach to filmmaking is absent here; the film is simple, realistic, and shot in real-time.
The story takes place in Zruc, a desolate Czech town adjusting to Communist rule. The war has rendered the female to male ratio 16 to one, and women of all ages are more or less forced into factory labor making shoes and textiles. The factory manager is sympathetic to the changing times and their needs, and he's concerned about the town's fate. Like a doting father, he worries about the hundreds of girls under his employ and approaches an army officer for help. He asks him to bring a regiment of soldiers into town in order to cure the longings of the young ladies.

Max Payne is one of my all time favorite videogame characters. There was something about him that I found utterly mesmerizing. I finished both games a hundred times and never did they begin to feel tedious. I loved the games so much I named my dog after one of the characters (Mona). I have yet to play a game that was as well written, as poetic in nature. Sam Lake (the writer) is not involved in the production of the new Max Payne, and that has made me very, very nervous. My favorite pain-stricken leading man has been transformed into a porky, bold, homeless-looking man. When I first saw the screenshots of my Max I died a little. What have they done to him? To the man Lake created and molded into a compelling character? Why has Rockstar decided to destroy the image of Max Payne? What did Max ever do to them?
I think I would be more accepting of the transformation if Sam Lake was the one that had written it. I trust him, trust his creativity. He made Max and would know exactly how to further develop the character. But alas, it is not him, and I fear that the image of the legendary Max Payne will be forever ruined. Poor Max had to endure being portrayed incredibly badly in that joke of a movie. This game, when it will be released, might just kill him what is left of him.

K & M Center Story
In 1993 Dr. Karen Fried and Dr. Melissa Mullin were each beginning private practices in educational therapy, when a mutual friend introduced them.
Melissa and Karen's educational background and training blended together to offer the latest research in learning theory and practice, along with developmental learning theory and methodology. Together they offer a unique view on the remediation of learning differences, and began training educational specialists to work at their center.
Karen and Melissa's mission statement is to help students learn to their potential. That mission has not changed over the years. Each child that comes to the K & M Center is seen as an individual with his or her own learning style and unique talents. Each child has a treatment plan created just for him to address the areas that need remediation. Melissa and Karen work with parents and teachers to create a plan that will work for the child.
Having a Center allows Karen and Melissa the resources to invest time and resources to research and provide the latest research based programs in all areas of cognitive processing and academic skills. They continually look for, and acquire, programs that will benefit their students.
Helping children learn and do well in school, and life, is a rewarding career that continues to motivate Melissa and Karen to provide the best learning center possible.
Our People Make All The Difference!
Karen Fried holds a doctorate in psychology from Ryokan College. She received master's degrees in both Human Development and in Clinical Psychology, as well as a Certificate in Educational Therapy, from the College for Developmental Studies. A licensed MFT, she has practiced educational therapy and psychotherapy for over 15 years.
Melissa Mullin holds both a master's and doctoral degree in Education with an emphasis on Educational Psychology from UCLA. She has practiced as an Educational Psychologist for over 15 years.
In keeping with our philosophy of attending to the whole child–including cognitive, academic, social and emotional aspects–the K & M Center offers each student the unique benefit of developing a one-on-one alliance with a trusted Educational Specialist who is supportive, expertly trained, and professionally objective.

I live in Utah and I am working with a program called Brain Works (http://www.braintutoringutah.com) for my 11 year old son. His IQ was tested about 5 years ago and came back VIQ 129, PIQ 129, PBQ 110, FSIQ 142 and GLX 116. This put his IQ in the 97th percentile, but his processing speed in the 75th percentile. He has ALWAYS hated school. It takes him longer to take tests and solve problems. Getting him to do homework is a nightmare!! I knew he wasn't reaching his full potential and I was thrilled when I found the Brain Works program. We have only been doing the program for 8 weeks and I already see an improvement in his patience and impulsivity. It is a struggle to get him to practice three times a week, but I keep at it because I know it will benefit him greatly in the future.
I noticed your site is often looking for new tools and resources to help children, so I thought I would send this info your way. I am also hoping that you know of someone in So. Cal that might have a similar program. I have several friends who think their children would benefit from such a program, but I have no idea where to refer them. Are you aware of anything in So. Cal. that is similar to Brain Works?
Thanks for your time!!!!
I came across your site while looking for information on learning disabilities involving impaired cognitive processing speed and high verbal reasoning functions. It is both joyful and sad to read through this site. Joyful, because there's so much information and resources available to parents, teachers and students about learning disabilities nowadays. I"m also very glad to see the push in actually developing weak areas and teaching compensation technique instead of automatically falling back on lowered curriculum and accommodations.
But also sad because as an adult in their mid 30's who was a child to working class, non English speaking immigrants, and attended public school in south Florida in the 80's and 90's when special education basically meant dumping ground for students who did not fit into the average mold and dumbed down curriculum that did even bother to meet any of the college entry requirements, I did not have the access to the information, resources or advocacy that your clients have nowadays. It is hard to keep myself from imaging how different my life might have been if I had these back then.
I now struggle to find resources for my issues as an adult with a very modest income since insurance companies will only pay for these types of services for children, if at all and I'm low on the priority list for government vocational agencies for personals with disabilities. Even though though it mostly cater to students and young adults your site has provided me with a lot of valuable information. Keep up the good work on this site.
Kind Regards,
Hello, We live in College Station, TX. I have a 12 year old, rising 7th grader that has been diagnosed with slow processing and low working memory due to ADD. Finding help for him can be overwhelming. Do you have any resources or colleagues you might be able to connect me with that provides similar support to kids with his specific disability? Thanks so much for your help.

Fixed-Price - Expert ($$$) - Est. Budget: $500 - PostedSkills: iOS Development iPad App Development iPhone App Development Mobile App Testing
Hello, I run a business selling neckties. I am looking for someone to create an app for iOS that links to my current website. The concept behind my brand is that a QR code (or something equivalent) will be printed onto the back of each tie. When a QR code is first scanned (if a customer purchases a tie or is given a tie as a gift), that QR code is assigned to that specific customer . Every time the customer gets a friend to download the app and scan the QR code, a pre-written private message will appear and disappear (like Snapchat.) Each scan of the QR code will also be tracked and once the customer is able to get 100 people to download the app, scan the QR code and read the private message, he/she will receive a gift. The app should also have a shopping functionality within the app and not linked to the current website. I've been told this is a simple project and wanted to know if your company can help me develop such an app? I would like the job completed in 5 weeks at a maximum budget of $500 USD. This budget is non-negotiable so please do not respond if you have a higher fee. This will save both of us from wasting time. Please let me know if you have any questions and send links to apps you've previously created. I will share my website and mock-ups with serious applicants. Thank you

This is the official guide to passing the two MySQL certification tests for MySQL 5, the long-awaited major revision of MySQL. The number of MySQL certification exams taken has doubled in the last six months.
Certcities.com lists the MySQL certification as one of the top 10 certifications to grow in 2005. MySQL professionals need a way to distinguish themselves from the vast majority of database administrators and developers. With more than 4 million active installations, MySQL is the world's most popular open-source database. Known for its speed, reliability and case of use, MySQL has become a low-cost alternative to expensive database systems such as Oracle, IBM and Microsoft. MySQL AB has aggressively improved the feature set of MySQL with MySQL 5, making it more suitable for enterprise-level applications and uses. The MySQL certification tests, available at over 3,000 PearsonVUE testing centers, is a key component of this enterprise growth strategy, establishing a base level of skills for database users, administrators and programmers.
The MySQL Core Certification is aimed at the database user who wants proof of his or her abilities in such fundamental areas as SQL, data entry and maintenance, and data extraction. The MySQL Professional Certification test is designed for the advanced user who wants to prove his or her knowledge in such areas as database management, installation, security, disaster prevention and optimization. Both tests are thoroughly covered in the MySQL 5.0 Certification Study Guide . Written by Paul DuBois, the leading author of books on MySQL topics, and reviewed for technical accuracy by MySQL AB, this book is the fastest, most reliable way for MySQL users, developers, and administrators to prepare for either of the MySQL tests.
Paul DuBois is the leading author of books on MySQL topics. His book, entitled MySQL, is widely considered the definitive work on MySQL. He is a developer for MySQL AB, where he edits and maintains the official English-language documentation for MySQL. Stefan Hinz is leads the MySQL documentation team, is a MySQL trainer and consultant, and the German translator of the MySQL Reference Manual. He is also the translator of Paul's MySQL Cookbook (O'Reilly and Associates) and translator and author of MySQL-related German books. Stefan passed the MySQL Certification exam before he joined MySQL AB.
Amazon.com で最も参考になったカスタマーレビュー (beta)
The book was written by Paul DuBois, certainly the top author of MySQL related books. Paul's style is very readable and the book provides extensive coverage of the exam material.
In fact, the book is so extensive because it was written not only by Paul, but by Carsten Pedersen, certification manager at MySQL AB. The book was written by the people who created the exam, and it shows. I can tell you right now that if you read the certification study guide and know its content, you will pass the certification exam. There is not a question on the exam that is not covered by this study guide.
The exercises are good, though not always formatted the same as what you will encounter on the actual exam. Doing the exercises should reveal how well you understand a given topic in the guide.
Here's an overview of what the book covers:
* MySQL and MySQL AB
* MySQL Software
* Using MySQL Client Programs
* Data Definition Language
* The SELECT Statement
* Basic SQL
* Update Statements
* Joins
* Importing and Exporting Data
* MySQL Architecture
* MySQL Installation and Configuration
* Security Issues
* Optimizing for Query Speed
* MyISAM Tables
* InnoDB Tables

Finally, here is the best part about the MySQL Certification Study Guide: it's free. In the back of the guide is a voucher code for 25% off the cost of a certification exam, or roughly the price of the book. If you are serious about taking the MySQL Certification exams, you can't go wrong with this book.
The book does a fairly good job of covering both exam tracks (DBD & DBA) from what I've seen thus far and is laid out in a practical way for those preparing for the exam. This book is not intended as a reference, though some new admins may choose to use it like that.
Post-exam follow-up:
The certification study guide did a good job of helping me pass the exams the first time through. Primary goal - accomplished. If you plan to attend the MySQL 5.0 DBA class, I got a copy of my own in the class so I wound up with an extra (so I keep one at work and one at home). Combine this with the on-line resources available and the value of this book increases.
I do find myself recommending this book to other developers and administrators to learn how to improve their MySQL skills, but I don't recommend it as a reference. It accomplishes its purpose well, however, I think it could have been better by having more of the information we need after the exam is over. This is not a manual for MySQL and clearly does not stand on its own for that purpose. If your goal is to get certified as a DBD or DBA, this book will likely help. If your goal is to use this book as your only manual for MySQL, this is not the best investment of resources to that end.
o Helped me pass the MySQL DBA exam first-time with very thorough study and having taken the MySQL 5 DBA class.
o PDF files for exam prep materials and a full PDF of the book itself
o Has some nice query optimization explanations in it.
o Provides nice resources for those who are upgrading their skills from MySQL 3.x, 4.x.
o Does not cover MySQL Cluster.
o CD did not contain software that helped me take practice exams.
o Resource not intended to be used as a full reference of MySQL.
o Many of the prep questions were given before the material to answer the questions were presented.
Note: I would increase my rating of this book to four stars, but Amazon won't let me change the rating in my review.
I attempted to escalate this issue but was told by VUE that it is Amazon's fault for including the wrong voucher number. The code is clearly printed by the book publisher, not Amazon, so this is just very poor finger pointing by VUE trying to blame Amazon.
The book is worth every penny despite the false advertising related to the voucher.
UPDATE: I contacted the publisher and got a quick response. The publisher is working on fixing VUE's screw-up, so hopefully this will be resolved soon.
I did buy this book not because I want to be certified, but because I wanted to have detailed information about MySQL version 5 and all the new functionality it has. I am certainly not disappointed.
There are useful examples for every subject covered and the book is much more readable than the online MySQL manual.
This is not a book for beginners or a book about designing a relational database. If you want to learn SQL or database design you should look elsewhere.
I also liked the style very much. It's very proffesional but not too dry and reading is not boring.
There are a few glitches here and there (table of content is off, the CD ROM didn't work well), but they are not really impacting your study.
Overall, I liked it very much and I wish more vendors would adopt that format and style.
And, by the way, I passed both exams at the first try using this book only (well, I've been working with MySQL a bit in the past, but I clearly had holes in my knowledge before).
So I highly recommend this book as a perfect MySQL certification guide and general reference.

Around the end of October they(someone making a refrence to the magazines he bought) called my boyfriend on the phone and wanted to know if he wanted "fraud protection" and they would take the money out of his checking acct (which they said the acct we have on file). My boyfriend was furious they had even kept his number on file and told them to destroy it immediately.
On Nov.15th, mysteriously, someone in Grants Pass,Oregon went to a Wells Fargo branch there filled out a withdraw slip and took $400 out of our checking acct. They even made a fake Alaska driver license. (We live in Alaska). Is there anyone else out there who has had their checking acct tampered with after buying magazines from theses folks???? It seems like they wait a good amount of time so maybe you forget.

Form a new local OWW group!
You have read about One World Week and are really interested in putting on an event...fantastic!
But there's just one thing...you can't seem to find anybody else who shares the same commitment to development issues.
Where have all the people gone?
Do not despair, we can help!
Almost everywhere in the country there are people to be found, who share your same values and concerns, ready and able to help you make a start.
See our Ten Top Tips page for more advice on how to organise an event.
Who should I contact?
Contact the OWW head office - we will try to put you in touch with your nearest OWW group or regional co-ordinator.
Contact your nearest Development Education Centre (DEC). The 'Think Global' website has a full list of these. Click here to view the list.
What is a DEC?
DECs specialise in raising awareness about development issues, and may be able to point you in the direction of individuals and / or groups who are active in local community work and may be interested in being part of OWW.
Ask your local council or library if they have a list of representatives from various ethnic groups and organisations.
Contact churches in your local area to find out whether there are any existing Justice and Peace groups or other groups dealing with global issues; they might be interested in getting involved.
How to contact new people and bring them into your planning committee or event? These notes: "Practical Suggestions for bringing new people into OWW", a PowerPoint, "Introducing OWW" and a letter, "Inviting people to participate in a OWW event" are based on a case study with Portsmouth One World Week, which you can adapt to your own circumstances.
Prepare a poster / leaflet in which you explain that you are looking for people to organise a OWW event with.
In your publicity and displays looking for new OWW organisers, be clear, concise and as catchy as possible. Select a good image to capture people's attention.
Download the OWW logo and the annual theme image from the website, to add to your leaflet.
Consider putting different locally spoken languages on your publicity.
Advertise as widely as possible: local libraries, community centres, gyms, churches, schools, local colleges etc. (always ask permission before placing advertisements on notice boards, as it may not be allowed).
Where will you hold your meetings and events?
Think about where your meetings and events will be held. It can be quite intimidating for people to go somewhere where they wouldn't normally go, so think about taking your events to different places in your area.
Organise a preliminary meeting with all the people you hope to involve, to agree on a joint agenda.
Specific interest groups will be interested in particular themes, Traidcraft in fair trade issues, for example. If you wish your event to take a particular slant, it could be useful to get in contact with an organisation which shares in this. You could invite a member of an awareness-raising or aid organisation along to a meeting. Ask if they could publicise your One World Week events in their newsletter or website.
Be patient!
Remember, good relationships take time to grow. Involving new people can be a slow process but is as important a part of one-world building as what happens during the week itself.

Air Force officials are admitting it: The service is struggling with how it buys technology, and leaders are looking to outside options to bolster its IT buying power.
With complex processes, shrinking budgets and a shortage of in-house procurement skills, IT acquisition presents challenges that the Air Force is increasingly meeting by partnering with other Defense Department agencies and the private sector, Air Force leaders said on Feb. 11.
"I won't say [the DOD acquisition system] forces failure but it certainly doesn't encourage success, especially related to IT," said Lt. Gen. Charles Davis, military deputy in the Office of the Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for Acquisition, during a panel discussion at an AFCEA DC event in Arlington, Va. "There are so many players involved, so many who influence decisions, write policy [and] advise, and basically IT systems are not successful very easily."
At least part of the Air Force's solution involves relying on the Defense Information Systems Agency's shared services. The Air Force is following in the Army's footsteps and has partially migrated to DISA's enterprise email, with plans to continue. Air Force officials are also eyeing DISA's infrastructure-as-a-service offerings and turning to the Army IT Agency for other infrastructure needs.
"We're always looking for opportunities to increase operational efficiency," said Essye Miller, director of Air Force headquarters information management. "It just makes sense for us to rely on organizations like DISA and ITA and industry partners to provide that service because it gives me an opportunity to not only change processes and manage expectations and appetite, but to give it to the professionals who can do it a lot better than we can internally."
Officials also hope they can change the traditional way of thinking about IT acquisition and some of the processes that guide procurement.
"We want folks to look at the business process and look at the mission set, not only at the thing they were responsible for bringing to bear but at how we can do business better in a manner we can afford," Miller said. "It took a little bit, but I think we've been able to change that mindset. Everyone's so focused on infrastructure and support, which is great, [but] we have to focus on mission and business processes as well."
Additionally, the Air Force has added new oversight to IT acquisition with the establishment of an IT governance executive board led by CIO Lt. Gen. Michael Basla. DOD's deputy chief management officer, the Air Force's acquisition chief, and leaders from the Air Force Space Command and the Air Force financial management team also serve on the board.
"We don't have a very strong process for vetting, locking down and controlling requirements on large, complex IT systems," Davis said. "Unlike the councils we have that set requirements for an airplane or weapon, it's up to the senior leadership in acquisition or the CIO to establish a governance process to limit that constant churn on requirements. We have processes we're trying to put into place in terms of governance at a high level to at least look at some of these things before they become systems. We're just in the beginning stages, but I can tell you it's made recent progress."

Hi All:
I know there are only a few of us at this point with BFP, but, if you have one, what are your symptoms at this point?
Hi All:
I know there are only a few of us at this point with BFP, but, if you have one, what are your symptoms at this point?
I only have a few symptoms myself at this point:
~ slight cramping - off and on, nothing major and they don't last
~ tired
~ slightly tender breasts; not nearly as bad as I remember and it isn't constant
Exhaustion... I napped often with my first two too... Occasional nausea (like the beginning of motion sickness)... Cats sleeping on me (only time the sleep on me is when I'm preggers), very cuddly kids... And exhaustion
Sore breasts, more tired than usual...and that's about it. Otherwise I feel completely normal. Worries me a little actually. I just went to my doctor today so they could check my HCG levels...something about this pregnancy feels "off." I've had spotting on and off since the first day of my expected period (May 27th) and cramping...the cramping has gotten worse over the past few days- so I called my Doctor. I swear, if I didn't have a positive pregnancy test I would still be expecting A.F. We will see what happens. I feel nothing like I did with my last 3 pregnancies. :/
Oh and BLOAT! I am sooooo bloated. Yuck!
I have a LOT of cramping too. It moderate to severe at times. I had labs drawn yesterday and my HCG was 117, so we were reassured, but will see what it is tomorrow to see if the cramping is leading toward another m/c.
Im on 200mg of progesterone daily and that level was good so they didnt need to increase the dose.

Karl Lagerfeld Doesn't Work Hard

At least, he doesn't want you to think he does.

At the conclusion of his interview with the Independent, Karl had a simple request: "Please don't say I work hard. Nobody is forced to do this job and if they don't like it, they should do another one. If it's too much, do something else. But don't start doing it and then say, 'Aaaah, it's too much' ... Then, suddenly, they become artists. They are too weak. Too fragile. Non. We have to be tough. We cannot talk about our suffering. People buy dresses to be happy, not to hear about somebody who suffered over a piece of taffeta."
