By Gen. George W. Casey, Jr.October 27, 2010
General Casey: Thank you dear (Mrs. Casey) for that "warm" introduction. If you speak following your two bosses, I am not sure there's anything left to say. (Laughter). It's great to be here with you. This is our third Family Forum. What I'd like to do today is talk to you broadly about the context that I receive over the years so that you have a context about what's going on with Family programs. And, I'll talk to you a little bit about what you're hearing about the budget. Then, we will have our third annual vote on how we're doing on the Army Family Covenant. Some of you may remember last year, I'll say the thing and you'll go "boo" (gesturing to a low point), "ehhh" (gesturing to a mid point) or "yay" (gesturing to a high point). And it can be accompanied by thumbs up or thumbs down. We'll do that at the end to get your sense because I am not going to stand up here and tell you all the great things we've done with the Army Family Covenant. I need to understand how it's impacting on your life.
So where does this begin' I am an Army brat. I've been a member of the Army family for 62 years. And I know some of you are saying, "you don't look a day over 70." But, as I was growing up, we moved around with the Army. Some of you may have seen the movie, We Were Soldiers Once and Young where they had the family of five kids in the big Country Squire station wagon driving across the country. That was the Casey's. My mom's motto while we went through all of that was, "make the best of it." Make the best of it - that was it. It was not hey Mom; this doesn't have sheets on it. Make the best of it; then have a nice day.
And what became clear to Sheila and I as we traveled around the Army when we first got here was, one, the stress that families were under. And, this was back in April of 2007. And two, everything we were asking of families. We couldn't just keep asking families to "make the best of it." We had to do more. We immediately made it our mission to put family support assistance - paid family support assistance - a priority. We doubled the amount of money that we're putting toward Soldier and Family programs...doubled it. Just like that; 1.7 billion dollars. We intend to sustain that - and we will sustain that - over the course of the programs for five years. We are committed to delivering. Let me put that in perspective for you. I was flying someplace and watching CNN. Remember the big floods they had in Nashville' They were saying the whole town flooded with probably 175,000 to 200,000 people in Nashville. And, they said estimates are that it is going to take 1.1 billion dollars to repair this whole city. So 1.7 billion dollars is a pretty good chunk of change and we are committed to keeping the family programs.
Now I need some help here. Because any time you double the amount of money you put towards something, you get things done fast, but you don't necessarily get them done efficiently. We recognize there are some efficiencies that we've gained in the family program - not to be put somewhere else in the Army - but to put into better family programs. We started doing that. The feedback I was getting was, "here it comes, as soon as the money got tight, they pulled the plug." So I said stop. I said leave it alone for a couple of years. But I need some help on feedback on programs that you think are redundant and we could stop doing this, and put money into the programs that we really need. So I would ask you to think about that as we go forward.
Now, a little bit about the future. I think you know that since 2007, we have been working very hard to get ourselves back into a better position. I call it "Get ourselves back in balance." What we meant by that is: a position where we are actually deploying at a sustainable level. And we think in the near term that a sustainable level is two years at home between deployments. And in the long term, three years at home between deployments for the active forces, four years and five years respectively for the Guard and Reserves. We did a study last year that told us what we intuitively knew, that it takes 24-36 months to recover from a one year combat deployment. It just does. Even though some of us have big chests, there is no "S" on it. Everybody needs that time to recover. And when you turn faster than that, as we have been doing, the cumulative effects build up faster. And so, we have been working very hard to get us to the point where we have at least two years at home. And I can tell you, with the growth of the Army, which we actually finished last year.
It was originally not going to be finished until 2012. We started out at forums like this and I would tell folks, "when we get bigger, we won't have to deploy as much - and it's going to be done by 2012." And they'd look at me like you're looking at me. With Secretary Gates' help, we accelerated that to 2010 and actually got it done by 2009. But even as we were finishing, it was clear that because we had so many Soldiers that were temporary non-deployable, in broad transition units, running towards transition units, or already deployed outside of their units we were still having difficulty manning units fully to go to Iraq or Afghanistan. So, Secretary Gates allowed us to grow another by another 22,000 Soldiers. And that's had a huge impact on our ability to increase the time home.
The other big thing that obviously happened was the draw down in Iraq. Between those two things, we're able to look out at this time next year - when we start fiscal year 2012 - when units deploy, they should be able to expect two years at home for the active force, four years at home for the Guard and Reserves. (Applause). Now, since I know you are all veterans here, that's based on what we know today. It was interesting when my son was coming home, I said to Sheila and his wife, "look, he's going to be home the 4th or 5th of October." She said, "No, he's not. He's going to be home when he gets home." And they wouldn't accept anything other than, "I'm on the way home from the airport." But anyway, it's a huge difference from where we were in 2007 and a very necessary difference.
Now, the challenge I think we are all going to wrestle with here is: "Okay, we're going to be home for two years. What do we do now'" Candidly, a lot of folks I am sure have been not dealing with some things that they need to get at because they did not want to mess with it with only 12 months at home. Plus, we're going to have to continue to train to maintain our combat edge. I think hopefully we can be smart at that. The other thing we have to do is reconstitute ourselves. There are some things that we just haven't had time to do over the last seven years. We hear a lot of talk about getting young leaders to understand their way around garrisons back home. We have some training skills we have to recalibrate, some administrative skills we have to recalibrate, and all of those things will be going on.
Probably the most important thing we're focused on doing is building resilience for the long haul. And I think we all have to think about that as we start getting more and more time at home. Its been said already that we are in our tenth year of war. And the reality is this is likely to go on for a while longer. And so, we have to strengthen ourselves - Soldiers, families and civilians - to deal with the continuing impacts of the war. When you think about it: 4100 Soldiers have lost their lives; leaving more than 20,000 surviving family members; 28,000 have been wounded; 7500 of those seriously enough to require long term care. We can never forget the sacrifices of those folks, as we go forward here. We have every intention of following through on that as we go forward. I can tell you we will remain focused on families and Soldiers as we go forward into this next several years, and I don't think we'll treat it with just a sigh of relief, "Boy am I glad that's over." It's not. And we have to continue to sustain what we're doing and build on it.
Now, before I go, on to the assessment of the Army Family Covenant. A quick question: How many of the Family members here have gone online and taken the Comprehensive Soldier Fitness Assessment' Raise your hand. (show of hands) Okay. Thanks. How many of you have stayed online and done one of the modules that accompanied those' (show of hands) Okay, thank you. I'd encourage the rest of you, if you haven't taken it, to take it. It takes about 20 minutes and there's a special one for families and one for Soldiers. But it will give you an assessment of where your strengths lie in the five key areas of fitness: physical, emotional, social, spiritual and family. Those modules will help you build some strength in the areas that you're not as strong in. And you can do all that in the privacy of your own home. I'd encourage you to do that. Are there any Master Resilience Trainers in here' (show of hands) Great. Master Resilience Trainers are being trained across the Army - Soldiers, families and civilians - to help others understand the value and benefits of this program. Just so you know, over 830,000 people have taken this assessment online. I don't know that there's any other behavioral health survey that has ever had that level of participation. Right now, we have about 2200 Master Resilience Trainers trained, and about 500,000 of the modules have been taken. So we need to build a little momentum on this. I think the Master Resilience Trainers are key to helping us expand this. But I think that program, more than any other thing, can help give us some of the resilience and strength we are going to need for the years ahead.
What you've all been waiting for: the Third Annual Survey of the Army Family Covenant. Again, your answers are "yay", "ehhh", "boo". Ready' The first element of the Family Covenant is standardized family programs across installations. How are we doing' (Audience response). That's better than last year. So lets write this down - it's between an "ehhh" and a "yay"' Leaning more towards an "ehh". Alright everyone knows about Army OneSource' (Audience applauds) That sounds a little better. Family support systems' Everyone okay with that' (Audience applauds). Respite care for exceptional family members' (Audience responds). More to do there' Twenty four million dollars went towards that program. But, we have more to do there. Next, access to quality health care' (Mixed audience reaction). Slightly better than last year. Is it access or quality' (Audience responds). So there is more work to be done on access and quality of health care. Do you know many million people are seen in military healthcare facilities over the course of a year' Twenty million. Okay, number three: improving Soldier and Family housing' (Audience response). So housing, it is kind of "ehh" to "yay". Alright. Number four: ensuring excellence in schools, youth services and childcare' (Audience response).
Audience member: High schools closest to posts are the most run down. We have to live way away from posts to get our children in good schools with college prep and AP and beyond.
General Casey: As I go around I get a real mixed bag of the schools that are close to military installations. And I know we've been working very hard locally. We've put in over 140 school liaison officers. I think the problem gets down to funding. It's state funding. It's not military funding. We'll work very closely with state and local governments to try to keep pushing it up.
What about child care' (Audience responds). Boo. One thumbs up and boos. Just so you know, we put up about 128 child development centers and 24 youth centers with magnificent child care facilities. So, we'll put child care and youth services up as an "ehh" to "boo".
Okay, we can hardly wait for the last one: expanding education and employment opportunities for family members. (Audience applauds). Thank you. That's a pleasant surprise. I know there's been a lot of work going on there. Some of you may have seen they had to change MyCAA. That didn't make some people happy. But, as is the case with every entitlement, we have to be able to deliver on it once we put it out. The first program we put out there wasn't sustainable over the long haul. It's better to be consistent over a smaller portion of the population. We will keep working on this. As Sheila said, we think we've made progress, but you never stop. And your feedback is very important. I got some great feedback in Italy. I talked with some family members about the increased difficulty OCONUS for family members, particularly on the working side. The only way we can fix things is to keep shining a spotlight on it. You are our individual flashlights out there. So thank you very much.
I will tell you, as long as I am here - and I know Secretary McHugh is going to carry on after Sheila and I are gone - we will maintain our commitment to our Army Families. You are the strength that underpins us as strength to the Nation. Thank you very much.

How are Members Received?
We receive individuals into membership by one of three ways: baptism, profession of faith, and transfer of membership from another Christian congregation.
If you never have been baptized into the Christian faith, we can baptize you when you join the church. If you previously have been baptized, Chapelwood honors that. Those who have not received Christian Baptism may contact Tammy Heinrich.
Membership is a commitment to support the ministries of Chapelwood through your prayers, presence, gifts, service, and witness. It is also a commitment to walking along side of one another as we experience grace in worship, grow in grace in small groups and share grace in ministry.
The opportunity to join the church is extended at the end of every Sunday morning Sanctuary worship service. Please come forward during the last song. You will be given the vows of church membership and introduced to the congregation. Please allow about 20 minutes after the service for greeting the congregation, providing new member information, and photos.
If you are exploring membership, you can schedule a personal meeting with a member of the Connect Ministry Team before or after any Sunday worship service. We´ll be happy to answer any questions you may have, take you on a tour of the campus, and help you discover your pathway. To schedule a meeting, click here.

Skill Level Intermediate
Participating Media refers to the effect of light streaming through a medium such as dust, or fog, or some kind of cloud that's creating that wonderful effect of streaming rays of light coming in through a window. mental ray has a special setup that can allow you to create a very realistic volumetric light effect or Participating Media effect, and I am going to show you the basics of how to set that up. So we have our scene here which is our dining room, and we have a little skylight here.
I have added a simple directional light that is going to have the light coming through this window right here. I have also blocked off the windows. So I just have added some geometry here and applied just a regular Lambert shader to the geometry, because I just want to focus right now on the light coming through the skylight. I am not going to worry about these lights right now. I just want to focus on that. So there are number of steps that you will need to take in order to set up this effect. So I'd like to go through those steps one-by-one. The first thing I need to do is select the light that is going to be casting the Participating Media, and I am going to add a Physical Light shader to it.
So here I have the directionalLight selected, and I have the Attribute Editor open to the directionalLightShape 1 tab, and I will scroll down to the Light Shader section and under Custom Shaders, I am going to click on little checker box here and under mental ray, switch over to MentalRay Lights and click on physical_light. Now, by default, when I click on the color channel that controls the intensity of the physical_light Shader, this is set to, if I look at the value, I can set this HSV so that Hue, Saturation and Value.
So I can see the value is set to 1000. That's a bit strong for a directionalLight. That value works very well for point lights and spot lights, but for directionalLight, it's very strong. So I am going to set this down to 20. This is also going to take care of things like the shadows, and so on and so forth. So I have the light set up. The next thing I need to do is create the volume, the volume that creates the sort of dusty effect that the beams of light are going to stream through.
To do this, I am going to create a polygon cube. So Create > Polygon Primitives > Cube. It's going to ask me to drag it on the grid. So I am creating my Polygon Cube. I am going to use the Scale tool. I just want to basically scale this up so it encompasses the entire room. Switch to a Side view and press 4 to switch to wireframe, and I can easily see what's going on here, and I am just roughly positioning this area.
Switch to a Top view, just to take a look and scale it. I am zooming out, and now I can see that this volume is encompassing the entire room. Then I switch back to the renderCam camera and press 5 to switch back to Shaded view. The next thing I need to do is make sure that my cube is not casting any shadows, so that the light cast by the directionalLight is not being blocked by this cube. So I am going to select the cube and open this Attribute Editor to the pCubeShape 1 tab and turn off Casts Shadows, and I might as well go ahead and turn off Receive Shadows as well.
Now I am going to go into the Hypershade window, and I am going to create a special shader to apply to this cube. In the mental ray section, under Materials, I am going to scroll over to the bottom here, and you will find the transmat material. So I am going to create this transmat material, select the cube in the Outliner, and I am going to right-click over the material in the Hypershade and do Assign Material To Selection.
So that assigns this material. If I switch to the Perspective view, you will see that the cube has now turned red. This is just indicating that the transmat material has been applied to the cube. So, the next thing I am going to do is apply the Volumetric effect to the Shader. To do that, I will select transmat1 Shader in the Work Area of the hypershade, and I will do Graph > Input and Output Connections. So we can see that I have the transmat1SG node here.
This is the Shading Group node. This is the node that acts as an intermediate between the shader, the transmat shader, and the geometry that it's applied to. I am going to select this transmat1SG node, SG stands for Shading Group, and open this Attribute Editor. I will make sure I am on the transmat1SG tab, and I am going to scroll down, I am at the top of the attributes here, I will scroll down to the Custom Shader section and click on the checker box next to Volume Shader.
This will pull up the Create Render Node window again. Under here, under mental ray, I am going to select Volumetric Materials and click on the parti_volume button. This applies the shader. You can see in the Hypershade, if I scroll out here, that I have the transmat1 node, connected to transmat1SG, and I have parti_volume also connected to transmat1SG. Now, I am going to switch to the renderCam camera, and I will close the Hypershade so we can see what's going on here, and I am going to create a test render, and see how it looks so far from the renderCam.
So we can see the light coming in here, but I am not seeing any effect of the Volumetric Material, and this is a common mistake. This is a mistake I actually make almost every time I do this. So I am kind of glad that it's happening here. This is something that can drive you crazy very quickly. Let me minimize this, and I'll show you what's going on. If I go into the Render Settings, there is a very sneaky little setting that you have to remember to turn on; otherwise, the effect won't work. And this is a kind of thing that will definitely drive you crazy. I am going to switch to the Features tab in the Render Settings window, and I am going to scroll down to Extra Features right here, and there is an Auto Volume setting.
If this is not turned on, then no matter what you do in the Maya scene, you will never see that effect. So make sure that this is turned on now, and I will minimize this and create another test render. Now, we can see the effect is starting to appear in our render. Now, I have the Quality Preset set to Preview. So this is why you can see that the quality of the geometry in this scene is quite low. Now, I am just doing that to save a little bit of time when I am creating the render, because right now I am just interested in tuning the effect, so I can see how this is going to look.
But you can see how the light is coming through here. The bars here in the skylight are creating some detail in the Volumetric and same with the legs of the chairs. So this already starts to look pretty nice. A couple of things that I'd like to do to improve the look of this effect. I mean, for one thing, we have a dark sky casting lights in here, which looks a little bit strange. So I can very easily change that effect. I am going to select the renderCam camera, and just as a quick way to fix that, switch to the renderCamShape, and here in the Environment, I am going to set the Background Color to White.
This will end up looking like a black- and-white image, because I don't have any Shaders applied to the objects in the scene. That's fine. And you get the basic idea of how this is going to look. So that starts to look a little bit more natural. This effect is quite expensive, meaning that it's going to add an awful lot to render time. So you want to be careful in how you use it. If I start to add things like Global Illumination and Final Gather, and Complex Textures, and increase the Render Quality, I am going to very quickly increase my render time to something that's going to be difficult to work with.
So, you want to be careful how you use this effect, and there are strategies for optimizing the way this effect can be applied, especially strategies for compositing just the rays of light separately from the rest of the objects in the scene. That's usually the best way to go when using this effect, rather than trying to apply everything in a single render, which can turn into a very difficult scene to work with. The other setting that I'd like to show, if I select the Cube here, and I am going to click on the parti_volume1 tab that's connected to transmat, and there is a number of settings here that effect the way that light looks.
As you increase the Extinction setting, that will start to turn off the effect sooner. So higher values are basically say, the light coming through the medium becomes extinct sooner. So it doesn't reach quite as far. You can also adjust the color of the medium. The Scatter setting has a large effect on overall brightness. The value, as you can see right here, is very low. So this is an extremely sensitive setting. You set this to HSV and start to adjust the value that's going to change the brightness of the effect.
And there are number of other settings in here which are going to relate to the look of the effect. Some of these actually get quite complex, and there is a lot of physics involved in how they work. So you will want to consult the mental ray manual that's in the documentation for more information on how these settings work, but they do get quite technical. But that's basic overview of how to set up the effect and add it to a scene.

Petter Solberg insists he was not to blame for the suspension damage that ended his chances of winning Ford's final rally as a factory World Rally team.
The Norwegian broke the left-front suspension on his Ford Fiesta RC WRC on the second stage of the Rally of Spain on Friday morning.
There was initially speculation that Solberg had hit the same rock that caused his retirement in Spain a year ago, but Solberg said he fell victim to the stage surface being washed away by heavy rain.
Thierry Neuville had already damaged his Citroen at the same spot.
"Neuville hit it first and he was out, but he wasn't there slowing anybody down," said Solberg.
"There was a hole on the line and as the cars went through the hole was getting bigger and bigger.
"With the rain, the road had been washed away and the car was being pulled into this line. The [impact] broke one bolt and we were out.
"Chris [Patterson, co-driver] went back and stood near the place to tell everybody else to keep out. If he hadn't done this, for sure, they would all have been in there."
The incident was Solberg's second crash on a fast left-hand corner in as many WRC events.
"I don't know what to say," he said. "It's just so bad."

Whenever you need reliable video motion detection for indoor or outdoor use, the Bosch IVMD 1.0, incorporated in Bosch IP Network Video products, is the system of choice. IVMD 1.0 is an intelligent digital video motion detector that uses advanced video content analysis to reliably detect moving objects, while suppressing unwanted alarms from spurious sources in the image. The algorithm intelligently adapts to changing lighting and environmental conditions such as rain, snow and leaves blowing in the wind. IVMD 1.0 can easily be configured to select the required sensitive areas of the image, the minimum object size and the motion direction that triggers an alarm, so that it only detects the important moving objects in a scene. Configuration is done by the Configuration Manager with its intuitive plug-in that provides all the necessary tools, including a 3D-grid for camera calibration.
A graphical display allows the sensitive area, size, speed and perspective for objects, and movement direction to be simply superimposed on the image.Once movement has been detected, the object is outlined in yellow on the display and motion is tracked on the monitor. If an object and its motion match the conditions defined for one of the 16 detector fields, it creates an alarm and switches the outlines to red. The alarm condition can be signaled by means of a standard relay output on the unit or created by an alarm connection to stream video to a receiver. Alarms can also be transmitted to a video management system, like Bosch VMS, to start extended alarm scenarios.

- Detects, tracks and stores motion objects
- Automatic self-adaptation to changing environmental conditions

President Morsy discussed with Saudi officials Egypt-Saudi bridge project
Mohamed Farid , CAIRO, Jan 22
President Moahmed Morsy held talks with Saudi officials on a project to construct a bridge linking Egypt and Saudi Arabia, said presidential spokesman Yasser Ali on Tuesday.
The Saudi officials accepted in principle the project, planned to be
built over the Red Sea, as the Saudi and Egyptian leaders have a political will to execute the project, Ali said.
During the talks, Morsy tackled the obstacles facing the Saudi
investors in Egypt and proposed solutions for them, he added.
Morsy chaired on Monday Egypt's delegation to the third Arab Economic and Social Development Summit. He handed over the summit's rotating presidency to Saudi King Abdullah bin Abdel-Aziz.

Newcastle United have agreed terms with Lee Bowyer for a four-year contract.
Sir Bobby Robson and chairman Freddy Shepherd flew south to meet Bowyer face-to-face after days of speculation.
Bowyer, who is now away on holiday, will undergo a medical on his return and then complete the formalities of the move.
"Freddy Shepherd and Sir Bobby Robson met with the player yesterday to finalise matters," said a club spokesman. "They are confident that Lee will be an asset to Newcastle United.
"The club is moving forward to a new era with confidence as it continues to build on its recent successes in the transfer market, developing a talented array of players within its squad."
Bowyer's arrival on a £30,000-a-week contract has been the topic of much discussion among fans since it emerged that United were leading the race for his signature.
His controversial past has led to some criticism, but both Robson and Shepherd have considered all the implications of the move and are confident that they have done good business.
Arsenal and Chelsea were also linked with the former Leeds player, as were Aston Villa with Bowyer's former boss David O'Leary now in charge of the club.
Bowyer, however, will miss a large part of United's Champions League campaign as a result of the six-match ban for stamping on Malaga midfielder Gerardo last season.
Bolton defender Anthony Barness has signed a new two-year contract at the Reebok Stadium.
The 30-year-old's current deal was due to run out in the summer but with Premiership status assured manager Sam Allardyce wasted no time in tying the former Charlton player down.
Barness made a total of 25 league appearances last term and is the first of a host of out-of-contract Bolton players to pledge his future to the club.

Office of Research on Women's Health (ORWH)
The Specialized Centers of Research (SCOR) on Sex Differences program is an innovative interdisciplinary research program focusing on sex differences and major medical conditions affecting women. The SCOR program supports established scientists conducting research at centers across the country that integrates basic, clinical, and translational research approaches to incorporating a sex and gender focus.
Eleven SCOR awards are co-funded by ORWH and the National Institute on Aging, National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases, the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, the National Institute of Diabetes, Digestive and Kidney Diseases, the National Institute on Drug Abuse, the National Institute of Mental Health, and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
SCORs are selected on the basis of having at least three highly integrated, synergistic research projects that explore an important issue related to sex/gender health differences through interdisciplinary approaches. ORWH monitors progress in advancing sex differences research across the centers and coordinates the inter-SCOR interactions. The co-funding NIH institutes manage SCOR program-related needs.
- NIH Office of Research on Women's Health Selects Third Round of Specialized Centers of Research on Sex Differences
- SCOR Projects and Themes, FY 2012 - FY 2016

I downloaded this plugin to my live site on the web; however it refuses to activate. I saw a previous query on this site regarding activation issues. However, it does not provide a solution for my issue.
I previously installed the plugin on my local hosted development site and it worked beautifully.
Just to be clear, I'm referring to the latest version of both the plugin and WordPress, as at time of writing.
Eager for a solution.

INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION (AP) -- The crew of shuttle Discovery can start getting ready to come home.
The Discovery astronauts have finished their final chores at the international space station, including testing the 33-foot robotic arm on the new Japanese science lab. Shuttle commander Mark Kelly marveled at the low number of problems they've had -- all of them minor.
The new robotic arm will be used to handle outdoor science experiments once the final section of the lab -- a porch -- is launched next year.
The doors between Discovery and the space station will be closed tomorrow, with the shuttle undocking Wednesday. It's scheduled to land in Florida Saturday.

My real name is Mark and I live in Montana.
I'm the manager/primary instructor at a Taekwondo School. I'm a 2nd Dan in TKD (probably testing for 3rd next year some time), a 2nd Kyu in Jundokan Karate, and have also dabbled in Muay Thai kickboxing, Krav Maga, Brazilian Jujitsu, and, most recently, a bit over a year of Aikido.
I've been into computer games since The Red Baron and The Ancient Art of War on my parent's old floppy-booted 80x86 and have been into them ever since - though my interest has waned considerably in the last couple years. Now I play a couple hours of Halo Reach a week and that's about it.
I got into RPGs in 7th grade after being introduced to the grade's "super nerds" while they were playing MechWarrior in the cafeteria. I played a couple sessions of 2e AD&D and was instantly hooked. During the summer, the old DM moved away and, in spite of having only played an RPG twice, I took on the role of full-time DM, which I held until I went to college.
I have a degree in Computer Science that I got six years ago and haven't really used yet, though I'm working on getting a start-up gaming company going with some of my friends to make a game I've designed. Our first game is going to be a MOO2-style online 4x game since I love turn based strategy space-conquest games and the genre is practically dead.
While I was at college, I wrote a (dark) fantasy novel, then spent the next couple years trying to get it published before giving up. I wrote half a scifi novel based off of a GURPs game we played before hitting writer's block and dropping it as well. Since then I've written fragments of half-a-dozen novels that never really get beyond a few chapters.
I came to ENWorld when 4e was announced since they seemed to have more 4e info than anywhere else. I then started up writing a story hour of the 3.5 game I was running and, a few months ago, noticed the "Living Worlds" section of the forum... and now I have 2.75 PCs and am running 2 adventures...
As a final note, I just finished writing and posting the final session of my story hour an hour ago. Amazing how happy and sad it is at the same time to have something you've committed that much time to be essentially over.

Real name is Cory. I'm 45 and have been gaming since 78 or so when a new friend introduced me to D&D. Have played some of every edition of D&D.
Took my time getting a computer science degree, (15 years, tho I did take an 8 year break in the middle) and currently work as a Network Engineer for a cable company (I work on/with the routers/switches that keep the internet working).
Been coming to ENWorld since before it was ENWorld--found it when rumors of 3rd edition started flying around and it was a good source of what was 'coming' Actually got me back into RPG's (don't know if it was ENWorld per se, or just the newness of 3rd edition).
Am a big fan of Board games( current fav. Bloodbowl, but have played many, many others--battletech, SFB, catan, dominion, Adv. Civ to name a few), computer games (Baldur's gate is my favorite there..tho the original Pool of Radiance series was good too, WoW, Civ, etc), rpgs (D&D, champs, M&M, etc) and anything internet related
I'm on the computer way, way too much--my job requires it, and there are times when there isn't much to do but surf. Heck, I even set my computer up in the living room so I could watch TV and surf/play while watching TV as well.
I've wanted to get into a PbP game for a while, just was reluctant to jump in. Finally did so this year, and have enjoyed it so far (Iron Sky has put together a great story/challenge).
I play dwarves almost exclusively in any game I play (Warhammer, D&D, Bloodbowl, Arcanum...if there is a dwarf option, I'm going to pick it 95% of the time).

I'm Joe. I'm a physics grad student in Cambridge (the MA one, not the UK one), but I'm from Australia (as is my wife - my son was born here, but we probably wont leave him behind when we go).
I've been playing D&D since 2nd Ed, with a number of really bad Dragonlance campaigns when I was in highschool.
My first D&D experience was probably Pools of Radiance on my C64, and the first D&D novel I read was (I'm a little embarrased to admit) Spellfire.

Late reply time~
Arrrrrr *shakes fist*With that avatar, I have no problem believing you are an internet predator...
But nah, seriously, it's just Admiral Kizaru from the One Piece manga. My friend told me that he reminded him of me, so I was motivated to catch up on my One Piece, and sure enough, Kizaru's face at least looks like an older and skinnier version of mine, so I've been using his face as my avatar ever since.

My real name's Joe. (It is not Charles.) I'm originally from northern Ontario, but I've lived in Montreal for 8 years now. This is my favourite beer. We should go out for a beer sometime. (Sometime after Christmas, that is.)
I got into roleplaying because when I was a kid, my Dad brought home a computer from work, and it had a bunch of freeware games on it including this one. I showed it to a friend of mine who said, "Dwarves? Hobbits? This is just like Dungeons & Dragons!" So I started talking about how cool Dungeons & Dragons sounded, and my parents clued in and bought me the Red Box.

Hello everyone.
My name is Shaun, from Vancouver, BC Canada. I am 30 now, and have been playing D&D for 20 years way back in the 1e days. Good old times. Lol. Yes Elf was a class. *Shifty eyes*. I have a 10 year old daughter and am engaged now. Plan to get married this upcoming May. I'm not much of a drinker, kinda put those days behind me now.
I mainly play D&D 4e these days. Generally play about two to three times a week. Mainly LFR stuff. Though I also play Exalted on an online chat. Been playing Chat based Exalted for over ten years now.
I am a miniature enthusiast. I play Warmachine/Hordes, Warhammer Fantasy and Dungeon and Dragon Miniatures (when the skirmish game was still around that is). I own well over 10,000 D&D Minis and probably another 2,000-3,000 or so various pewter miniatures. I am also a world champion level Dungeon & Dragon Miniature player having qualified and played in 4 World Championships held at GenCon. Placing as high as 9th in the world. Sadly I couldn't get a little closer heh. I enjoy the tactics of the game and will use them to the best of my knowledge.
Currently I am in a low of my life. I am currently fighting a disease in my eyes that is slowly causing me to go blind. I have had 5 surgeries in my right eye and 1 in my left eye. They are not as fun as they sound heh. My last surgery was last Thursday morning. Cause of this, I have been off work for roughly 2 years now and haven't driven in roughly 3 years. Though hopefully with this last surgery and some long healing time I can get back to the real world. Please no pity parties *eyes everyone*. It's just something that happens.
Before all that blindy stuff. I was the supervisor to a Canada Custom Sufferance warehouse. Was in good shape. Enjoyed going to the gym, and spent years doing Kickboxing.
Hmm I think that's everything for now. It was nice to meet you all, and good idea to start this up Mal.

When prostate cancer is detected through a screening test and no symptoms are present, logic would say the disease is probably insignificant and the patient can avoid aggressive treatment. Yet statistics tell a different story: 1 in 6 of these men will have higher-risk disease, according to a University of Rochester study published in Frontiers in Oncology.
A new medical imaging technology – dubbed multispectral photoacoustic imaging – has demonstrated that it can successfully identify healthy vs. cancerous prostate tissue and could represent a less invasive and more accurate way to screen for the disease.

Endoscopy Technician Certification, Degree and Training Programs
Endoscopy technicians assist licensed physicians and nurses with treating patients who have gastrointestinal disorders. Aspiring endoscopy technicians may receive a certificate or associate's degree as preparation to work in the field.
Essential Information
No schools offer degree programs specifically in the field of endoscopy or gastrointestinal medicine; however, a handful of schools offer certificate programs that prepare students to work as endoscopy technicians. Many aspiring endoscopy technicians enroll in on-the-job training programs at health care facilities. Others might consider enrolling in associate's degree programs that offers courses in endoscopy, such as the Associate of Science in Surgical Technology.
- Program Levels for Endoscopy Technicians: Certificates, associate's degrees.
- Prerequisites: A high school diploma or GED is required. Other requirements vary by program but include college placement tests, CPR certification, proof of certain immunizations, passing a background check, a satisfactory GPA or prerequisite coursework.
- Other Requirements: Lab training and field work.
- Program Length: One to two years.
- Online Availability: There may be online courses available.
Endoscopic Technician Certificate
As of 2014, endoscopic technician certificate programs are only found at a few schools around the county. These programs are typically about 24 credits, or one year, in length and include a combination of classroom learning, labs and hands-on clinical training. Some programs are specifically designed to help students meet the educational requirements for professional certifications.
Most programs require students to be at least 17 years old and have a high school diploma or GED. Additional admission requirements vary by school but may include taking college placement tests, having current CPR certification, passing a background check, taking a TB test or submitting a current immunization record.
These 1-year programs typically require students to complete 8-10 courses specific to the skills needed to work as endoscopic technicians. Some programs may require students to complete general courses in psychology, math or English before beginning core courses. Common course topics covered in an endoscopic technician certificate program include:
- Human anatomy and physiology
- Perioperative services
- Perioperative microbiology
- Endoscopic basic theory
- Working with surgical teams
- Endoscopic technician practice
Associate of Science in Surgical Technology
In a surgical technology associate's degree program, students can gain a background in allied health, medical technology and endoscopy procedures. Most 2-year degree programs in surgical technology are offered through community colleges. They consist of clinical rotations and classroom lectures as well as laboratory components. Certification is an option for surgical technologists.
One must have a high school diploma and a strong grade point average in order to enroll in an associate's degree program in surgical technology with courses on endoscopy technology. Some schools also include courses in anatomy, physiology and medical terminology as prerequisites as opposed to part of the core curriculum.
Programs provide students with the training and skills necessary to set up and tear down operating rooms, keep equipment sterile and provide general assistance to surgical teams. These same skills can be used by aspiring endoscopy technicians who are interested in performing these tasks for an endoscopy team. Students enrolled in surgical technology degree programs are often exposed to several specialties of the field, including neurosurgery, urology and endoscopy.
A typical associate's degree program in surgical technology is comprised of classroom lectures, laboratory lessons and clinical rotations. Many such programs are offered on the site of medical facilities, putting students in the field in surgical suites and endoscopy suites. Some specific courses might include:
- Introduction to surgical technology
- Human anatomy and physiology
- Microbiology and infection control
- Surgical procedures
- Surgical pharmacology
- Clinical rotation
Certification Options
Certification is not a requirement for endoscopy technicians, however, voluntary certification is available from the Society of Gastroenterology Nurses and Associates (SGNA), the Certification Board for Sterile Processing and Distribution (CBSPD) and the International Association of Healthcare Central Service Material Management (IAHCSMM). While SGNA and IAHCSMM offer generalized certifications, the CBSPD offers five levels of certification, including a Flexible Endoscope Reprocessor Certification. To earn credentials from these organizations, endoscopy technicians must pass examinations.
After completing this program, surgical technologists can gain certification through two national organizations. The National Board of Surgical Technology and Surgical Assisting offers the Certified Surgical Technologist credential, and the National Center for Competency Testing awards the Tech in Surgery-Certified designation. Certification typically requires completing an approved education program and passing an exam. Continuing education is also required to maintain the certifications.
Employment Outlook and Salary Info
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics does not report direct data for the position of endoscopy technician, but it did report that surgical technologists in general held 98,450 positions in May 2014. These individuals worked mostly in hospitals, physicians' offices and outpatient care centers across the country. They earned a mean annual salary of $45,010 in 2014.

Today is Janruary 22nd and yesterday after a 2 day trial and error with the ER, I lost my baby on Janruary 21st at 2:30pm at 12 weeks.
They call it a blighted Ovum, like somehow that term is goin to make it all better to cope with, like somehow that is going to make the grieving process better. Someohow I believe my mind has shut down to protect myself from feeling the emotions I knwo I am not capable of handling right now. I want to cry and scream and lie down and just sit still hoping that might bring my baby back. I wanna hold onto my children but find that the hardest task of all.
I want to reach out to my partner but I feel like somehow I am defective and useless for not being able to keep this child. I fear that after this loss he doesn't want me anymore, even though in the back of my mind I know this is all such garbage, but my mind won't let me grasp that idea, not just yet.
I am so saddened by this sudden loss, and so hurt by the sypathetic glares. I want to take the time off work, but it does nto make sense to me, keep busy block the thought is how I feel, although I am not sure that is the best decision. It is mine for now though.
I want to ask to be held every moment of the day and told I lvoe you...It's okay...we will make it through. I want another child so badly but my fear of intimacy, I am afraid, will get the better of me. Will I ever want to be touched again in that way, or will this sit too harshly in my mind?
I am sure things will be okay eventually, that is was logic tells me, but my heart jsut breaks a little more with every passing moment of my day.

Mr. Gordon's issues were resolved. As he stated, there are no black out dates for our Flat Rate condo requests. Members can book a condo anywhere and anytime there is availability.
We are committed to our members and because of the misunderstandings surrounding his first experience; Mr. Gordon was given a complimentary stay at the beautiful Wyndham Royal Vista condominium in Pompano Beach. He renewed each year after that.
From time to time there are miscommunications with our 20,000 members. We try very hard to resolve them in a fair and amicable manner. We have done that for 25 years and will continue to do so. Our mission is to offer complete travel services and unique travel opportunities for prices not available to the public.

By Army Staff Sgt. Andrew T. Alfano; 82nd Airborne Division Public AffairsSeptember 24, 2010
FORT BRAGG, NC -- In a rare opportunity to meet with foreign military leaders, the XVIII Airborne Corps and the 82nd Airborne Division received distinguished visitors from Jordan at Fort Bragg on Sept. 22 and 23.
The visit's major themes were Army Force Generation; soldier, non-commissioned officers and officer education; collection, analysis and integration of lessons learned; Special Operations; Army organization, equipment and capabilities; combat and pre-deployment training and operation of combat training centers and Soldier and Family support programs.
"This was time well spent for our military and our nation," said Maj. Gen. Jim L. Huggins, 82nd Airborne Division commander. "The Jordanians are important allies in our war on terror. They are stepping up to the plate in Afghanistan."
Among the visitors were Lt. Gen. Mashal M. Al-Zaben, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and Brig. Gen. Mohammed Salem Jaradat, both from Jordan.
During the visit to Fort Bragg the Jordanians visited with the leaders from the XVIII Airborne Corps, United States Army Special Operations Command and the 82nd Abn. Div. Following an exchange of gifts, the visit to Fort Bragg culminated in a live fire demonstration by Battery C, 3rd Battalion, 27th Field Artillery Regiment, 18th Fires Brigade, 82nd Airborne Division.
"It was a great privilege to demonstrate our capabilities to these important leaders," said Sgt. Michael O'Toole, a High Mobility Artillery Rocket System gunner from Battery C, 3rd Bn., 27th FAR.
In addition to visiting Fort Bragg, Al-Zaben was scheduled to visit the Headquarters, Department of the Army, U.S. Army Combined Arms Center, Fort Leavenworth, Kansas; U.S. Army Maneuver Center of Excellence, Fort Benning, Georgia; and the National Training Center, Fort Irwin, Calif.
