Thread: Introduce yourselves
28th August 2011 11:32 PM #1
Introduce yourselves
I thought I would start this section of Pregnancy Birth and Beyond's forum to provide student midwives a place to share, relieve some stress and gain some support.
Feel free to introduce yourselves. I'd love to hear where you are doing midwifery, what year you are in, where you are doing your clinical experience, where you hope to work when you are finished.

I have been posting on the site for a while, but just recently applied for an accelerated nursing midwife program. I received my first degree in English, so attempting to get a higher degree in this field has been difficult. I originally thought of going through the apprentice route of midwifery, but have decided that I want to be able to work in hospitals as well. So, if all things go well, I will begin my path toward midwifery this fall
Looking forward to meeting others!
18th January 2012 07:09 AM #3
That is wonderful news Mom2many. Midwifery is a wonderful profession - I couldn't think of doing anything else. I hope your application is successful and that you are on your path to being a midwife.

Summit County pipe failure mistaken for explosion
(New Franklin)- Police say the early morning rupture of a high-pressure pipe at a northeast Ohio gas well was mistaken for an explosion and led to the evacuations of hundreds of residents.
Detective Mike Hitchings said the failure of a high-pressure gas line at an Dominion East Ohio well in New Franklin, south of Akron, caused a loud noise that some residents reported as an explosion. The incident was reported just after 6 a.m. Monday on the east side of the city and led authorities to evacuate residents.
There were no injuries and no loss of gas service to customers.
Dominion East Ohio spokeswoman Tracy Oliver said the company is working to determine the cause of the rupture of an 8-inch gas line connecting a compressor station and storage well.

Jake Fox Next Brandon Moss?
.343/1.103 with 10 DBL, 14 HR, and 42 RBI in only 38 games. Combine his Mexican League stats, and he's batting .321/1.042 with 70 R, 26 DBL, 30 HR, and 88 RBI in 95 games in 2014. He's an old man in Double A, but with eye popping stats like that, he needs to be given a look with the Phillies, especially given their anemic offense. Maybe he's a late bloomer just like Brandon Moss...

Sidenote- I don't really think Fox will produce to the magnitude that Moss has given the chance. However, he could be a valuable bench piece given his versatility and powerful bat.

- Bob D said...
Very true. He should get a September call up at the least.
- July 25, 2014 2:44 PM
- Morak99 said...
Yes. The Phillies pharm looks like it's got future bench-types up the spades right now, which is good, because even if they don't become stars, they can contribute. Plus, lets say you have a bunch of replacement level infielders, but lack fungible relivers, you can exchange these roll players to fit needs like that, etc. Sadly I see nary an MLB starter above Clearwater now with Biddle shitting the bed. Maybe Kelly Duggan if he can stay healthy.

Phillies drafting has been quite possibly the worst in past 5-7 years. Their international signings are shit too.

With an 0-5 effort JRoll kicks in next years contract at $11 million.
(if he finishes year on DL he has a $5mil player option or $8mil team option)
I wonder if in August Amaro with work a contract extension for the next 5 years.
That's 2 wins in a row and KK did not let up any first inning runs

Clill Lee's contract is bad in its own right, but now his performance is hurting his trade value too. Phillies aren't getting shit at the trade deadline.

Bastardo is killing trade value. Grand slam last night and now this debacle. Thanks a lot, you bastard.

I wonder if the Phillies will fade out of existence once football season starts and the city forgets the exist, like the good ol' days.

Thanks to Burnett, Lee, and Bastardo for pitching poorly so close to the Trade Deadline. Amaro already sucks at his job, but this makes it worse.

Showing off his surfing prowess, Josh Duhamel grabbed his board and hit the water off the coast of Malibu on Thursday (November 20).
The handsome "Transformer: Revenge of the Fallen" hunk was in good spirits as he splashed in the ocean with a few friends while shutterbugs snapped up photos.
Today the United States men's national team is facing off against Germany in the 2014 World Cup tournament, and many of our favorite stars are taking to Twitter to express their support.
Ashton Kutcher posted a photo of an excused absence note from the US Coach Jurgen Klinsmann with the caption, "To whom it may concern…"
Gathering for a good cause, a host of stunning celebrities turned out for the 2014 amfAR Inspiration Gala in New York City last night (June 10).
"My Humps" hottie Fergie brought her handsome hubby Josh Duhamel along for the evening, looking 'fergalicious' in a Calvin Klein dress and Brian Atwood heels.
Continuing to bask in new daddy-dom, Josh Duhamel took a moment to sit down and talk to Redbook magazine about his new way of life.
Revealing his feelings towards the recent No Kids Policy dealing with paparazzi pictures, Josh Duhamel sat down with HuffPost Live on Friday (April 11) to dish the details.
Stating that he and wife Stacy "Fergie" Ferguson possess a more nuanced view of the policy, Josh said they are "not quite as aggressive about it, as long as they're respectful and keep their distance."
Wishing mommy the best on her big day, Baby Axl Jack Duhamel posed in a cute Instagram photo, holding a sign that says, "Happy Birthday Mommy!!!," held by daddy, Josh Duhamel.
Fergie celebrated her 39th birthday today (March 27), and how better to ring in one more year, than with her man and 7-month-old son?
Working hard to promote a cause dear to his heart, Josh Duhamel released the final episode of his "Rescue Waggin': Tales from the Road" series with PetSmart Charities.
The "Safe Haven" star talked about adopting his own dog, Meatloaf, and the importance of helping dogs find a forever home.
Spending some time together without baby Axl, Fergie and Josh Duhamel went to lunch at the Gaucho Grill in Brentwood, California on Saturday (March 8).
The Black Eyed Peas frontwoman kept her head down in a black patterned top, dark jeans, and brown boots while her handsome hubby joked with photographers.

Tornados Stumble at WingateOctober 19, 2013
WINGATE, N.C.- The Brevard College football team fell to the Wingate Bulldogs 43-24 in South Atlantic Conference action at Irwin Belk Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
The Bulldogs (3-3, 2-2 SAC) scored three unanswered touchdowns to start the game before Brevard (2-5, 1-3 SAC) made it 21-7 thanks to a 79-yard touchdown run by Andre Overholt with 8:19 remaining in the opening half.
Brevard's first score came after BC's Jacob McCleery stifled a Wingate drive in the red zone with an interception at the Brevard 19-yard line.
Overholt busted the game-long run on just the second play following the pick. Brevard rushed for 203 yards on the afternoon, and collected 250 yards of total offense.
The Bulldogs, however, halted any BC momentum with a scoring drive just before halftime. Wingate quarterback Robbie Nallenweg found Patick Derenda with a seven-yard touchdown pass with less than a minute remaining in the half.
Wingate brought the 28-7 lead into halftime and struck first after the break with a 31-yard field goal at the 10:29 mark in the 3rd quarter.
The Tornados responded with a touchdown to make it 31-14 on the ensuing drive when freshman quarterback Kevin Herbst found the end zone with a four-yard touchdown rush to cap a 57-yard drive for BC.
Again the Bulldogs answered BC's touchdown with a score of their own, going ahead 37-14 on Josh Covington's one-yard rushing touchdown on their next drive.
The Tornados lost a fumble on the first play from scrimmage following the Covington touchdown, resulting in another trip to the end zone for Wingate. The Bulldogs recovered the fumble on the Brevard 15-yard line and took just two plays to make it 43-14 after a Derenda pulled in another touchdown reception.
Derenda recorded eight catches for 56 yards and a pair of scores as the main target of Nallenweg, who finished 24-for-28 with 273 yards and four passing touchdowns.
The Tornados scored 10 unasnwered points in the 4th quarter, but by that time the Bulldogs had the game out of reach.
Ben Noboa nailed a 27-yard field goal with 11:15 left in the game, and the Tornados scored on their final drive following a turnover for the BC defense.
Brevard's Michael Gruber intercepted a pass from Wingate's Kyle Johnson and returned it 21 yards to the Wingate 31-yard line with just over two minutes remaining in the game.
Brevard's Caleb Stephens, who also took snaps under center for the Tornados, hit Tydrell Wright with a 31-yard touchdown pass on the drive's first play to cut the BC deficit to 43-24.
The Tornados return home on Saturday as they host the Catawba College Indians for this season's Homecoming game. Kickoff from Brevard Memorial Stadium is set for 5 p.m.

WHAT: Hakonechloa macra Aureola is also known as golden Japanese forest grass. Its long leaves move gracefully in the wind, and its coloration is a bright spot in any garden.
Used in multiples, it is a stunning addition to a pathway or front-of-the-border repetitive planting.
SUN OR SHADE: Full sun is necessary to achieve the maximum golden color, but it will tolerate partial shade, where it develops a sharp contrast between the green and yellow coloration.
SIZE: This grass grows to 3 feet in approximately three years.
SEE IT: At the Evergreen Arboretum &Gardens, 145 Alverson Blvd., Everett, or take a virtual tour of the gardens at www.evergreenarboretum.com.

Same situation as always, aireplay-ng -test says injection is working. But it has problems associating with the AP. Also, did you networkmanager work right out the box?
I know.....Ive already wrote how this set works in this thread
But injection DOESNT work.
That means you can crack WEO only if yourr target is connected an no clientless attack.
Also airmon-ng DOESNT recognize chipset - only device.
Same situation as always, aireplay-ng -test says injection is working. But it has problems associating with the AP. Also, did you networkmanager work right out the box?
Are you guys using wpa_supplicant to fake auth not aireplay-ng, if not you should be
from hxxp://aircrack-ng.org/doku.php?id=iwlagn
I have not had any problems with injection at all but have updated the driver and firmware anyway and everything seems a little more stable now.Fake auth doesn't work but there's a workaround: using wpa_supplicant. Deauth seems to be buggy

Get the necessary patch and patch away (there is another but was not needed)Code:tar xjvf compat-wireless-2.6.tar.bz2 cd compat-wireless*

and reboot to be sureCode:make make install make unload echo "options iwlagn swcrypto=1" >> /etc/modprobe.d/options make load
After this step of putting in "sudo patch -p1 < mac80211_2.6.28-rc4-wl_frag+ack_v3.patch"
It ask me for "File to patch:" What do I type??
This is what I get....
l33tstyle@Home:~$ sudo patch -p1 < mac80211_2.6.28-rc4-wl_frag+ack_v3.patch

I get Chipset Unknown and injection doesn't work. I'm in the process of getting the chipset to reconize and then see if that is the problem. This Chipset unknown shows both on BT4 and Ubuntu Intrepid

Seal Beach won't mark its 100th anniversary as a city until 2015, but Terry Quinlan and Libby Applegate will soon be taking residents down memory lane.
They're putting together a lineup of about 20 longtime community members who helped frame the fabric of the quaint beach town. They will present their interviews on the Seal Beach Community Television Station.
Among the 20 who will be featured, according to Appelgate, will be "people who lived here in the '20s and experienced the roaring days."
Included will be Seal Beach airport fans such as Don Stegen, who experienced wild rides over the bean fields in the 1940s, and longtime resident William Taylor, who will tell his story of the 1933 earthquake; plus Alan Harbour of beach umbrella days; Andy Seymour and Ron "Chi' Kredell of lifeguard days in the '60s; Norma Gibbs, the second female mayor of Seal Beach, who will talk about politics in the '70s; and Pat Sullivan, a motorcycle cop who faced challenges working drug problems in the '70s.
Virginia Haley, 94, the mother of the late Jack Haley (of Captain Jack's restaurant in Sunset Beach), shared in her interview some of her first impressions of Seal Beach.
At the time, Seal Beach was the only place that had dancing on Sundays, she said.
"A lot of times we would go to church and then to the dance hall," she said. "I would dance with my brother and we all learned to dance. I remember being very impressed with the marathon dancers who would dance for days and as soon as they fell over, they were disqualified."
Every summer, an orphanage in Los Angeles would bring children on the Red Car and cook hot dogs for them, she recalled.
"I was always afraid to do this, but every kid in Seal Beach would get in line and get a free hot dog and drinks. I probably did it too," she admitted.
Haley and her family moved to Seal Beach from Kansas in 1922 when she was 5 years old.
They drove in a "big, brand new car" - a Model T Ford her parents bought for $400. The five-member family - father Jesse John, mother Cora, Virginia and her siblings Marcile and Wayne - made the "hard trip" across the desert and over mountains.
"My father had special roll-down shades that we rolled down at night while my mother and sister and I would sleep inside the car," she said. "My father and brother would sleep outside in a tent. (There were no motels.) ..."
Another longtime resident, Joyce Ekberg, recalled that the small beach community had just two churches.
"You either went to the Catholic church or you went to the Methodist," she said. "There was but one house on each city block. If the kids got too jovial and boisterous they would call the police. There were only two police officers in town, Jim Marousek, the motorcycle guy, and Lee Howard."
The program will be aired sometime in 2012.

Marriage is a revelation; or, better said, a series of revelations. And a Christ-Follower, whether married or single, is greatly helped when they discover how much our spiritual union with Christ is like a good marriage. As a matter of fact, Paul the apostle encouraged his readers to make the connection and to ponder it when he said that the "object lesson" of marriage is "a profound mystery (Eph. 5:32a)." Let's consider the mystery.When love captures two hearts they both find out soon that there is much to discover. … [Read more...]

Jones School Leadership
Monday, January 25, 2010 – The Rice MBA Full-Time program at the Jones Graduate School of Business was ranked 4th in the world in the category 'Top for Finance,' according to the 2010 Financial
Times Global MBA ranking released on January 25th. The school was recognized as 21st among U.S. business schools and 44th globally. Both rankings are higher than in previous years and move Rice into first place in Texas and in the Southwest. The national placement represents an all-time high for Rice . The publication lists the top 100 full-time MBA programs worldwide, 55 of which are based in the US. The rankings are based on data collected from alumni three years post graduation and from the business school. Key metrics include alumni salaries and career development, the diversity and international reach of the MBA programs, and the research capacity of the school. The Financial
Times ranking is an appropriate indicator of alumni success and reflects the trajectory of graduates' careers. It also mirrors the contribution of faculty research. Other top indicators for the Jones School:

Consumers are bombarded with a myriad of rumors on the upcoming iPhone 7 as Apple reportedly tries to innovate and take another leap of success for their next iPhone.
Buyers may expect a brand new iPhone 7 is set to launch this year that will exceed their predictions.
A new rumor claimed that the details about the new Apple smartphone already leaked. According to GizChina, Chinese supplier Foxconn is a bit delicate when it comes to handling classified details for their clients. So it is not surprising if this leaked detail of the new iPhone will be true.
But what makes this rumor more interesting than the other rumors last year is that the leaked details about the iPhone 7 consists of a new design and a number of new features that might keep Apple ahead of the pack.
Lethal combination
Leaked images of the new iPhone found on GizChina show a very peculiar design that combines some features of the current iPhone 6S with styles from the previous iPhone 5S. This would be a bit of a shock to everyone given that when it comes to improving something, you never go back to the old styles. But according to the rumors, this new iPhone will give you a bolder look "with 2.5D glass from panel, and flat metal sides with a 3.5mm headphone jack in the base of the phone and single speaker."
The leaked design is generally a traditional iPhone but rumors have speculated that this new iPhone will have be thinner compared to the previous generations, including the already thin iPhone 6S, with a surprising 3000 mAh+ battery with up to 256GB memory.
Wireless Charging Dock
It is inevitable that Apple is going into the same direction as Samsung with the company rumored to be making a wireless charging dock is not surprising. Speculations regarding the iPhone 7 include a possibility of a wireless charging dock that could make or break Apple if they would ever compete with their rivals.
What are your thoughts on the rumored iPhone 7? Share it on the comments section below.

Federal policymakers have supported many extraneous missions for the Department of Defense aside from the basic and constitutional requirement to defend the nation. The result is that America's military budget has become very bloated. The United States would be better off taking a wait-and-see approach to distant threats, while letting friendly nations bear more of the costs of their own defense, as we discuss in a related essay.
There will always be disorder in various places around the globe, but that doesn't mean that all foreign problems are a threat to America. We should retain the ability to participate in multilateral efforts to mitigate humanitarian disasters, but we should not mistake such efforts as something relevant to our defense.
By avoiding the occupation of failing states and limiting our commitments to defend healthy ones, we could plan for fewer wars. By shedding extraneous missions, we can cut our force structure, which means reducing the number of U.S. military personnel and the related costs for weapons, vehicles, and operations. The resulting U.S. military force would be more elite, less strained, and less expensive.
This essay describes 19 proposals that would reduce U.S. military spending by $1.2 trillion over the next 10 years, or about 18 percent of projected military spending in the administration's budget.1 By 2020, the savings would be about $150 billion annually. Although those are substantial reductions, the estimates are conservative. In several cases, we likely erred on the side of undercounting savings. Also, a strategy of restraint could allow greater savings. We have not, for example, included cuts to the National Guard, the reserves, or our air and sea lift capabilities.
Some readers may wonder why we have not gone further, given that even steeper cuts would still leave the United States with a large margin of superiority over all rivals. The cuts we suggest are an initial harvest of restraint, and don't preclude further reductions. It would be prudent to first adopt changes like those we suggest, and then see if the political leadership is capable of adhering to a restrained defense strategy.
The table summarizes our proposed spending cuts. The text and endnotes provide readers with the information needed to understand how we arrived at our estimates.2 Although the proposals fit within an overall strategic rationale, most of them could also stand alone as individual savings proposals.

1. Cut the nuclear weapons arsenal.
The nuclear weapons arsenal should be cut to 500 deployed warheads. This would include a 50 percent cut in the number of delivery platforms, and would include elimination of the bomber leg of the nuclear triad and consolidation of nuclear laboratory and testing facilities.3 Our proposals would cut $66 billion from the Department of Defense (DoD) budget and $21 billion from the Department of Energy (DoE) budget over 10 years.4
This proposal would retain six ballistic nuclear missile-carrying submarines (SSBNs), which would allow for at least four ballistic missile submarines to be deployed at any one time, saving $3 billion over 10 years.5 These platforms, which were designed to carry as many as 192 warheads, will deter any leader foolish enough to contemplate a strike on the United States. To make doubly sure, we would retain 150 Minuteman III Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles in the continental United States. We would also forego the purchase of Trident II missiles for the SSBNs and upgrades to nuclear cruise missiles and shelve plans to deploy nuclear weapons on the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter. Because a smaller arsenal requires less support, we would consolidate nuclear weapons production and testing facilities, which fall under DoE's purview.
2. Reduce the size of the Army.
A reduction in the number of active-duty Army personnel from the current legislated end strength of 547,400 to 360,000 would save $220 billion over 10 years. This figure draws on a Congressional Budget Office (CBO) calculation that estimated the costs of expanding the Army by 65,000 personnel.6 We assume that our savings would be about two and a half times the value of the CBO estimate.
3. Reduce the size of the Marine Corps.
Reducing the size of the Marine Corps from 202,000 to 145,000 would save about $67 billion over 10 years. We would phase in these personnel reductions over 10 years. The estimated savings were obtained by modifying the CBO projections for the Army.
4. Reduce Marine Corps expeditionary strike groups.
A reduction in the number of Marine Corps expeditionary strike groups from 10 to 6 would save $7 billion over 10 years. These reductions are consistent with cuts in Marine Corps' personnel cited above. This proposal would decommission four Amphibious Assault Ships, four Amphibious Transport Dock Ships, and at least two Dock Landing Ships, while eliminating associated air wings. These cuts are justified because the likelihood of the Marines attacking a well-defended coast from the sea without support from carrier air power is remote. And the speed to deployment gained by having Marines sea-based is rarely worth its cost. By reducing the number of expeditionary strike groups to 6, $2.4 billion would be saved in operation and maintenance (O&M) costs over 10 years. Associated naval personnel cuts would save $4.6 billion.
5. Build and operate fewer aircraft carriers and naval aircraft.
Reducing the number of operational aircraft carriers (CVNs) from 12 to 8 would save $40 billion over 10 years. Current Navy plans call for 12 carriers by 2020.7 This proposal would continue production of the new Ford Class CVN 78, which will be deployed in 2015.8 Canceling procurement of CVN 79 and all future Ford Class CVNs would save $16 billion over 10 years (approximately $7 billion for CVN 79 and $9 billion for CVN 80). Decommissioning the Nimitz, Eisenhower, and Vinson would save at least $5 billion over 10 years in reduced O&M costs, including associated air wings. These savings would be partly offset by the decommissioning costs of about $1 billion per vessel.9 Another $12 billion would be saved in foregone procurement of 60 F-35 Joint Strike Fighters.10 Associated reductions in personnel would save $10 billion.
6. Build and operate fewer tactical submarines.
Reducing the number of tactical submarines would save $32 billion over 10 years. Current plans show the number of fast-attack submarines (SSNs) declining to 40 ships by 2028.11 The Navy can reach 40 in 2020, eight years earlier, by slowing the rate of procurement from two to one new vessel per year. Thus, instead of spending $5.8 billion per year, we could spend $2.9 billion per year, saving $29 billion in procurement and $1 billion in O&M costs over 10 years. Decommissioning the four active guided missile submarines (SSGN) would save at least $500 million in O&M over 10 years, but we estimate that these savings would be offset in the short term by the costs to dispose of the vessels. Savings from reductions in personnel onboard tactical submarines would be $2 billion.
7. Build and operate fewer destroyers.
We would save $34 billion over 10 years by reducing the number of destroyers (DDGs) that the Navy buys and operates. This reduction is accomplished by maintaining the number of DDG-51s at the current level of 62. The Navy has already proposed stopping production of the DDG-1000 at 3, and instead plans to buy 8 Flight IIA version DDG-51s and as many as 8 Flight III version DDG-51s by 2020 at an average cost of about $2 billion.12 We would allow production of the three DDG-1000s to proceed but build no additional DDG-51s, and, where possible, reallocate funds already authorized. Avoiding production of 16 DDG-51s would save at least $30 billion, plus $1 billion in associated O&M costs and $1 billion from reductions in personnel.13
8. Terminate the Littoral Combat Ship (LCS).
The Navy should halt the LCS program and consider developing a less expensive class of frigates or corvettes.14 Current LCS costs are roughly three times initial estimates. The high costs undermine the idea—always questionable—that the LCS could take on particularly risky missions. Cost has also undercut the LCS's modularity, where commanders could select a mission module, a package of software and equipment that can be swapped in and out to tailor each LCS to a mission. There are three such modules: mine warfare, anti-submarine warfare, and surface warfare. Presumably because of cost constraints, the Navy is building only about as many modules as ships, limiting flexibility.
Besides the 4 LCSs already (or nearly) completed, the Navy plans to build about 24 in the next 10 years, at an average cost of $620 million each.15 Forgoing these vessels would thus save $14.9 billion over the next 10 years, plus $3.1 billion in associated O&M costs. While researching alternative platforms, the Navy can refurbish 14 Perry class frigates at a cost of roughly $100 million each.16 These ships, along with destroyers, could perform the LCS's missions. After subtracting the costs of refurbishing and retaining the frigates and the additional personnel costs they require, net savings would be $14 billion over 10 years.17
9. Build and operate fewer Air Force fighters.
The Air Force should eliminate six strike wing equivalents, netting $89 billion in savings over 10 years. The drawdown would be accomplished by accelerating the retirement of aging airframes, especially F-15s and F-16s, and purchasing 301 fewer F-35s than currently programmed.18 The estimated cost per new aircraft is $200 million, which translates into $60 billion in reduced procurement expenses, plus $29 billion in reduced personnel and O&M expenses.
10. Terminate the Expeditionary Fighting Vehicle.
The Expeditionary Fighting Vehicle is 14 years behind schedule and 160 percent over budget.19 It serves an archaic mission—amphibious assault on a hostile shore. The last time such an amphibious assault occurred was the Inchon Landing in September 1950. In the highly unlikely event that the United States again employs Marines in this way, existing platforms, including the Assault Amphibious Vehicle 7A, will suffice. This proposal would save the approximately $11 billion needed to complete the program and purchase 573 vehicles.20
11. Terminate the V-22 Osprey.
The Marine Corps should stop V-22 Osprey production and save the $23 billion estimated cost for the rest of the procurement.21 The V-22's cost is extraordinarily high relative to alternatives.22 It lacks reliability and lift. Its relatively small size means that other aircraft will have to bring supplies such as heavy weapons to the Marines it transports, but no supply aircraft can fly as far and as fast, meaning that either V-22s will drop Marines off in places where they cannot be equipped to fight, or more likely, it will not be used at full range, undermining a primary argument for its procurement.23 Proven rotary-wing aircraft, such as the MH-60 and the CH-53, should handle this mission. After subtracting the cost of procuring and operating alternative platforms for troop and material transport, total savings for the elimination of the V-22 program equal $15 billion over 10 years.
12. Realign the missile defense program.
The administration's FY 2011 budget requested $9.9 billion for missile defense, which is similar to spending levels in recent years. Our proposal would save about $60 billion over 10 years by shifting missile defense funding from procurement to research and development and canceling components with excessive cost overruns.24 Assuming that DoD currently plans to spend an average of $9 billion annually, reducing spending to about $3 billion annually would save at least $60 billion over 10 years.25
13. Cut the Pentagon's civilian workforce.
A smaller military requires fewer civilian support personnel. And, as discussed below in the section on overhead, the Pentagon has excessive administrative apparatus even for its current broad missions. Accordingly, we would reduce the Pentagon civilian workforce by nearly a third, with most of the cuts coming through attrition.26 The civilian workforce will total 789,000 in FY2011 and cost $77 billion. Reducing the civilian payroll by 30 percent over 10 years would save about $105 billion. This estimate mirrors reductions in personnel between 1991 and 2001, when civilian manpower was reduced by roughly 34 percent and total civilian compensation declined by just over 24 percent.27
14. Reform military compensation.28
Currently, some components of military compensation, including tax advantages and housing allowances, are not included in the pay raise calculations that are pegged to changes in the civilian sector.29 We propose including these benefits when pay raises are calculated, phasing the reform in as forces are withdrawn from Afghanistan and Iraq. That would save $55 billion over 10 years.
Premiums for DoD's health care system, TRICARE, have not risen in 10 years.30 Lower premiums encourage military retirees earning full-time civilian salaries to choose TRICARE even though health coverage is available through their employer. According to a June 2009 CBO report, reform of TRICARE could save more than $60 billion over 10 years.31 Such changes are more reasonable under a restraint strategy because that strategy would greatly reduce the burden on military personnel.
15. Reform maintenance and supply systems.
According to the CBO, reform of DoD maintenance and supply systems would save $13 billion over 10 years.32 Reforms would include consolidating DoD retailing, changing DoD's depot pricing structure for equipment repairs, and easing restrictions on contracting for depot maintenance.
16. Cut military construction and housing.
The cuts discussed here would allow reductions in the buildings needed to accommodate DoD personnel and thus in the military construction and family housing budget. The budget for these activities has been over $25 billion in recent years, although the administration sees spending falling to $14 billion by 2015. We propose cutting projected spending by 20 percent, or about $30 billion over 10 years.33
17. Reform command, support, and infrastructure.
About 40 percent of DoD's budget goes toward overhead, including rents, depreciation of equipment, facilities maintenance, utilities, headquarters staff, information technology, and other defense-wide support programs.34 The Defense Business Board, a DoD advisory group, recently noted that this overhead ratio is at an historic high, reflecting rapid growth in Pentagon management costs in recent decades.35 As part of an effort to shift $100 billion from swollen overhead costs to force structure over the next decade, the secretary of Defense recently suggested closing Joint Forces Command and several other small DoD organizations, hiring fewer contractors, and reducing staff in the Office of the Secretary of Defense.36
Those are welcome initiatives, but the savings should be used to reduce the deficit, rather than going into other programs. Furthermore, deeper cuts are warranted. The size of DoD under a strategy of restraint would need even less administrative support. We could, for example, eliminate or consolidate the geographic Combatant Commands. Because some of these savings are reflected in the cuts to civilian personnel and intelligence counted elsewhere, we follow DoD and estimate that cuts to overhead could save an average of $10 billion per year or about $100 billion over 10 years.
18. Reduce intelligence spending.
In 2009, then director of National Intelligence Dennis Blair stated that the U.S. intelligence budget was $75 billion. That included $45 billion for the National Intelligence Program and $30 billion for the Military Intelligence Program.37 That amount is greatly expanded from the $27 billion spent on intelligence in 1998.38 In turn, the 1998 intelligence budget exceeded the 1980 intelligence budget by almost 80 percent in real terms.39 This rapid growth is excessive given the historically mild threats we face.
Redundancy in intelligence analysis can be useful by producing competing perspectives and thoroughness, but the explosion in intelligence spending has spawned organizational confusion and excessive overlap.40 The Central Intelligence Agency, for example, is now carrying out paramilitary activities that should be the exclusive province of Special Operational Forces.41 Under our strategy of restraint, there would be even a larger excess in intelligence spending as a result of there being fewer enemies and military missions. Thus, we propose to cut 15 percent from the intelligence budget. Assuming that intelligence spending would otherwise remain at $75 billion annually, a 15 percent cut would save about $112 billion over 10 years. Roughly 20 percent of total intelligence spending falls outside of the "defense" function in the federal budget, about $22 billion of these savings would come from other sections of the budget.42
19. Reduce research, development, testing, and evaluation.
In coming years, DoD plans to spend a about $73 billion annuallyon research, development, testing, and evaluation. Policymakers should reduce total RDT&E spending by 10 percent annually, which would generate about $73 billion in savings over 10 years. The reduced spending levels would still greatly exceed what would be required to maintain the U.S. military's quantitative and qualitative superiority over other nations for the foreseeable future.

Schwartz, with Deepti Choubey, Nuclear Security Spending: Assessing Costs, Examining Priorities (Washington: Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, 2009); and Sustainable Defense Task Force, "Debts, Deficits, and Defense: A Way Forward," June 1, 2010, pp. 14–15, www.comw.org/pda/fulltext/1006SDTFreport.pdf.
5 There are no plans for building additional SSBNs over the next 10 years, therefore we capture no savings from procurement. We assume that the reductions would come gradually, thus we do not claim operational cost savings from all eight submarines for each of the 10 years. Over 10 years, cutting eight SSBNs (from the Navy's planned 14 to 6) would save $2.2 billion in operations and maintenance costs, and $1.8 billion in associated personnel costs. We estimate that the costs to decommission the eight vessels will not exceed $1 billion, resulting in net savings of $3 billion.
6 Congressional Budget Office, "Budget Options: Volume 2," August 2009, p. 7. Our estimates of savings from Army and Marine Corps reductions are conservative. Given trends in the cost of compensation, DoD projections for manpower costs in the Army and Marine Corps during 2011–2015 are unrealistic.

12 U.S. Navy plans include procurement of 8 Flight IIA DDG-51s from FY2011 through FY2015. Between FY2016 and FY2031, the Navy plans to procure 24 Flight III DDG-51s. For general background on this program, see Ronald O'Rourke, "Navy DDG-51 and DDG-1000 Destroyer Programs: Background and Issues for Congress," Congressional Research Service Report RL32109, June 14, 2010.
13 Because some destroyers procured during the 10-year period will not be in service during that period, O&M and personnel savings are calculated only for the ships presumed to be in service through 2020, according to U.S. Navy projections.

15 This figure includes an estimated cost of $70 million per ship for modules. On LCS's cost, see Congressional Budget Office, "An Analysis of the Navy's Fiscal Year 2011 Shipbuilding Plan," pp. 14, 19–20. For further information, see Ronald O'Rourke, "Navy Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) Program: Background, Issues, and Options for Congress," Congressional Research Service Report RL33741, June 10, 2010. For the Navy's estimate that modules will cost $50–70 million on average, see J. Michael Gilmore and Eric J. Labs, "The Navy's 2008 Shipbuilding Plan and Key Ship Programs," Statement before the Subcommittee on Seapower and Expeditionary Forces, Committee on Armed Services, July 24, 2007.
16 Current Navy plans call for retiring the 30 remaining Oliver Hazard Perry Class frigates by 2020. On the approximate cost of refurbishment, see "News Release: Pakistan – Refurbishment of Oliver Hazard Perry Class Frigate," Defense Security Cooperation Agency, February 19, 2010.
17 The typical ship's complement for a frigate is approximately 200, whereas the LCS is projected to deploy with fewer than 80 sailors. Net savings from foregoing construction of the LCSs and the refurbishment of the frigates total $15.5 billion, minus $1.3 billion in net additional personnel costs associated with the Perrys.

22 Program costs grew from an initial estimate of $24 million ($46 million in 2008 dollars) per aircraft when the contract was first awarded in 1986, to its current per unit cost of more than $110 million.
23 On these points, see, e.g., Michael J. Sullivan, director of acquisition and sourcing management, Government Accountability Office, "V-22 Osprey Aircraft: Assessments Needed to Address Operational and Cost Concerns to Define Future Investments," Testimony Before the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, June 23, 2009.
24 Secretary Gates canceled plans to purchase the airborne-laser, a program already eight years behind schedule, and $4 billion over budget, but cuts could be made in other programs as well. On the airborne laser, see Dan Vergano, "'Star Wars' Meets Reality? Military Testing Laser Weapons," USA Today, May 14, 2010.
25 The Congressional Budget Office finds that canceling programs including the Far-Term Sea-Based Terminal Defense, Sensor Development, Missile Defense Space Experimentation Center, and Special Programs would save $11.25 billion over the next 5 years, and $40.09 billion over the next 10 years. See CBO, "Budget Options, Volume 2," p. 21. Our plans here include continued funding for the Patriot and AEGIS missile defense systems, which are funded primarily by the Army and Navy, respectively. They should bear the full cost of the programs.
26 The Government Accountability Office estimated in 2009 that more than 50 percent of DoD's civilian workforce is eligible to retire in the next few years. Government Accountability Office, "Human Capital: Opportunities Exist to Build on Recent Progress to Strengthen DOD's Civilian Human Capital Strategic Plan," GAO-09-235, February 2009, p. 1.
27 The civilian workforce in the Department of Defense declined from 1,044,000 in 1991 to 687,000 in 2001. See National Defense Budget Estimates for FY 2011 (2011 Green Book), Table 7-5, "Department of Defense Manpower," p. 217. During that same period, civilian payroll (TOA) in constant 2011 dollars fell from $78.4 billion to $59.4 billion. See 2011 Green Book, Table 6-2, "Department of Defense TOA by Category," pp. 70–71.

4 Min Read
(Reuters) - For two years in a row, the final nine holes at the Greenbrier Classic have cost Webb Simpson dearly and the American is hoping for a case of 'third time lucky' at this week's edition in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia.
In 2011, Simpson was one ahead of the chasing pack after reaching the turn in the final round but he slid backwards to finish in a tie for ninth, two strokes out of a playoff for the title eventually won by American Scott Stallings.
Twelve months ago, Simpson again squandered a one-shot lead on the back nine as he closed with a 73 to wind up joint seventh.
"That's the difference," the former U.S. Open champion told reporters on Wednesday while preparing for Thursday's opening round at The Greenbrier's Old White Course. "Any time a player wins, they're playing quality golf for 72 holes.
"You can't really afford a bad nine when you win. I think it's just me continuing to keep playing well, and hopefully I'm in that position on Sunday where I do have a chance to win."
Simpson has not tasted victory on the PGA Tour since claiming his first major title at last year's U.S. Open but he has come close this season, posting four top-10s in 16 starts on the U.S. circuit.
His best finish was a playoff loss at the RBC Heritage in April while he has displayed good form in his last two events, placing joint 32nd in difficult scoring conditions at the U.S. Open and tying for fifth at the Travelers Championship.
"I played well there (at the Travelers), and I really played well at the U.S. Open," said Simpson, a three-times champion on the PGA Tour. "I just didn't score the ball well so I'm looking forward to playing. I love this spot."
Simpson was delighted to have been grouped with good friend and fellow American Bill Haas for the first two rounds at The Greenbrier, both players having competed for Wake Forest University during their college days.
"I can't say enough nice things about Bill Haas," said the 27-year-old Simpson. "When I got out on tour in 2008, there was nobody nicer in terms of giving me advice, helping me out, whatever I needed.
"You want to see your buddies play well but, at the end of the day, you want to beat them. He's one of the few that actually roots for me."
Haas will be seeking his sixth victory on the PGA Tour, and his second in as many weeks after winning the AT&T National at Congressional by three shots on Sunday.
Fellow American Ted Potter Jr. will be defending his title this week, having triumphed last year in his rookie season after beating compatriot Troy Kelly in a playoff.
Though he has not won on the circuit since then, Potter has been encouraged by the much more consistent form he has shown on the 2013 PGA Tour.
"It's definitely gotten better," said Potter, who had missed five consecutive cuts before his win at last year's Greenbrier Classic. "The biggest goal I had at the beginning of the year was playing more consistent and ... I've played a lot better.
"I'm not finishing 60th at the events where I made the cut. At least I got some top-30s and one top-10 and some top-25s this year. I'm definitely pleased how the year's gone."
American world number six Phil Mickelson, seeking a 42nd career victory on the PGA Tour, heads a strong field this week which also includes 10th-ranked South African Louis Oosthuizen and 17th-ranked American Bubba Watson.

text: I've been having some problems with backtrack r3 after burning the iso file with persistance to my 16 gigabyte sandisk usb. When I boot it up and start x, it's all fine, until i get to the part where it shuts down. I type in 'poweroff' and it starts powering off like normal, but instead of saying "you can now remove the bootable medium", or something like that, it says something like "I/O error on sector " and then some number i don't know. it repeats that message alot of times, each time with a different number, then cuts straight to powering off. The next time i turn it on, i boot everything like normal, and its all fine until it gets to the part where I'm supposed to type 'startx'. It starts saying something like "deleted inode refrenced " and then another one of those seemingly random numbers. I'm using a computer made in 2007 called the HP Pavillion a6807c PC. I apologize if i'm missing anything blatantly obvious, but I've done this about 7 times with the same result each time and I'm just a impatient eleven year old kid. Thanks in advance

About the Artist
Elisa Sheehan
I run a graphic design studio, lis design, and am also a fine art painter, but when I was expecting my first child, I was inspired to create some artwork for her nursery. While I pondered what to create for her, one meaning of her name sparked an idea. The name Quinn means "wise" so the idea of creating an owl character was a natural fit. I tapped into my inner child and thought: what do children aspire to do? Join the circus? Fly a plane? Swim with Dolphins? You bet! We all want to have adventures in life, but probably none are more vivid and creative than those of a child. I tried to capture that sense of wonder about how the world works and how adventure unfolds in these pieces. I know that as a child I would have wanted to be that ballerina on top of that elephant!

Lecture to focus on conspiracy theories, denialism
Psychologist Dr. Seth C. Kalichman will discuss why people believe in conspiracy theories and deny documented historical events and societal issues, in a public lecture Monday, Nov. 2, at the University of South Carolina.
Kalichman, a graduate of the university and a professor at the University of Connecticut, will speak from 3:30 – 5 p.m. in Room 209 of Davis College. (Please note that the lecture site has been changed.) The event is open and free to the public.
His talk, "AIDS, 9/11, and The Holocaust: The Psychology of Conspiracy Theories and Denialism," is based on his new book, written for a popular audience, titled "Denying AIDS: Conspiracy Theories, Pseudoscience and Human Tragedy."
In 1990, the year Kalichman graduated from the university's doctoral program in clinical-community psychology, he began researching AIDS, which sparked his interest in AIDS denialism and its similarity to other well-documented forms of denial, including the Holocaust.
"The prevalence of AIDS denialism on the Internet poses a threat to public health, and research shows that these beliefs are associated with poorer health outcomes," said Kalichman. "AIDS conspiracy theories underlie AIDS denialism, which is best understood as a mental-health problem with public-health ramifications."
Kalichman is the director of the Southeast HIV/AIDS Research & Evaluation (SHARE) Project. He is editor of AIDS and Behavior, a leading journal on AIDS. His research focuses on social and behavioral aspects of AIDS and has funding and support by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, the National Institutes of Health and the Centers for Disease Control. He has written five books and donates all royalties to purchase HIV treatments in Africa. He was honored by the American Psychological Association with an early career award for his research and professional contributions.
While at the university, Kalichman will receive the department of psychology's distinguished alumnus award. For more information about the Nov. 2 lecture, call Dr. Abe Wandersman at 803-777-7671.
'... The Psychology of Conspiracy Theories and Denialism'
- What: Lecture on why people believe in conspiracy theories and deny documented historical events and societal issues
- Who: Dr. Seth C. Kalichman, professor at the University of Connecticut and director of the Southeast HIV/AIDS Research & Evaluation (SHARE) Project
- When: 3:30 - 5 p.m. Monday, Nov. 2

Former Buchtel wide receiver Corey Smith will now be playing top-level college football closer to home.
A little more than a week before next Wednesday's national signing day, Smith flipped his commitment from Mississippi State to Ohio Stat today.
Smith starred on the 2010 Buchtel team that was the state runner-up in Division III in 2010. That season, Smith caught 52 passes for more than 1,100 yards and 16 touchdowns.
He had to attend East Mississippi Community College to get his academics in order. For EMCC this season, Smith had 51 receptions for 733 yards and nine touchdowns.To read more or comment...
COLUMBUS: Ohio State has announced that two players will no longer play for the Buckeyes, one because of injury and another who wishes to play closer to his home in Colorado.
Sophomore linebacker Conner Crowell, from Waldorf, Md., has decided to give up football. He has had two surgeries while at Ohio State for an injury that occurred while he was in high school. Ohio State medical staff had not cleared him to play.
Freshman offensive lineman Joey O'Connor, from Windsor, Colo., requested a transfer to play closer to home. He was redshirted last fall as the Buckeyes went 12-0 under first-year coach Urban Meyer.To read more or comment...
COLUMBUS: Ohio State coach Thad Matta has agreed to a revised contract which will give him a 10 percent increase to more than $3.2 million annually and includes academic bonuses and more stringent wording about NCAA violations.
With years he had already earned through job performance, the five-time Big Ten champion coach will be under contract through July 2019.To read more or comment...
Rivals.com released its final top 100 college football recruits, and the list features seven commits.
No. 26 Mike Mitchell, LB, 6'4, 216 pounds
No. 35 Jalin Marshall, Ath, 5'11, 196 pounds
No. 39 Cameron Burrows, DB, 6'0, 203 pounds
No. 47 Joe Bosa, DE, 6'5, 270 pounds
No. 84 Ezekiel Elliott, RB, 6'0, 198 pounds
No. 89 Eli Apple, DB, 6'0, 185 pounds
No. 90 Evan Lisle, OL, 6'6, 265 pounds
Rivals rates Mitchell as a five-star prospect. The others are all considered four-star players.
Whiles most of the players in the top 100 are committed, there are 17 who haven't picked a school. Ohio State is after Georgia safety Vonn Bell, who visited the school on Jan. 11. The Buckeyes are battling Alabama and Tennessee for Bell.
Burrows, Lisle and Marshall are the only three Ohio players in the top 100.To read more or comment...
COLUMBUS: Michigan State coach Tom Izzo knows that to stop Deshaun Thomas is the surest way to stop No. 11 Ohio State.
"Thomas is shooting the lights out. He's been really effective," Izzo said during preparations for his 18th-ranked Spartans' home game against the Buckeyes on Saturday night. "We've got to contain Thomas."
The thing is, no one really has been able to do that all season.
The 6-foot-7 junior leads the Big Ten in scoring (by more than two full points) at 20.3 points a game. He hasn't been held below 14 points all season, and he's been between 16 and 24 points in each of his last 10 games.
What's more, he actually likes it when opposing teams key on him, double-team him or throw some junk defense at him.To read more or comment...
Before Chip Kelly was even introduced as head coach of the Philadelphia Eagles, Ohio State was after two of his commits at Oregon.
According to Brad Bournival of ESPN's BuckeyeNation, twin brothers Tyree and Tyrell Robinson will be visiting Columbus next week. Both were offered scholarships by Ohio State despite being committed to Oregon.
But as Tyree Robinson told Rivals.com that Notre Dame and Southern California are the two schools "I really have in mind right now, but there will be others."To read more or comment...
Following a 56-53 win over previously undefeated Michigan on Sunday, Ohio State has moved up to 11th in the latest Associated Press men's basketball poll.
The Buckeyes were 15th in last week's poll. Michigan fell from second to fifth but still received a single first place vote.
Ohio State plays at Michigan State on Saturday at 6 p.m. The game airs on ESPN.To read more or comment...
COLUMBUS: Urban Meyer says one of the mantras for his second Ohio State team will be "truth."
He's certainly not sparing his Buckeyes his perception of it when it comes to whether they can compete with the likes of national champion Alabama next season.
"For me to say we have to get there next year, that's like me talking about we have to go fly to the moon," he said Friday. "We're nowhere near even having that conversation."
Despite a 12-0 record and a No. 3 ranking in the Associated Press poll after a bowl-less season, Meyer made it clear he does not believe his team is remotely close to even discussing competing with the nation's elite teams.
"Truth means exactly (that); you have a good season, and there's a lot of conversation about things that really shouldn't be discussed because it's not true," he said, referring to extremely early predictions that figure the Buckeyes to be among the top handful of teams in the nation in 2013. "For example, are you guys going to (contend for the national title) next year? No, probably not, unless we get a lot better — like, a lot better."To read more or comment...
COLUMBUS: Ohio State says running back Jordan Hall has been granted a medical redshirt after missing most of the 2012 season due to foot and knee injuries.
Hall carried the ball in just three games last season as a senior, totaling 40 attempts for 218 yards and a touchdown. He missed the start of the season after cutting his foot in the summer and the end after partially tearing a knee ligament.To read more or comment...

Showbiz Sandbox 333: Predicting The Biggest Box Office Flops of 2016
August 31, 2016
Much has been made about the decline in box office this summer, with franchise sequels underperforming and certain pricey movies failing to attract an audience. Kevin Lincoln, a senior editor at New York Magazine and Vulture, takes a look at this summer's biggest flops and predicts which mega-budget releases might suffer a similar fate as we round out the year.
In China it might be more difficult to know which movies are box office disappointments or crowd favorites since online and mobile ticketing companies have been offering hefty subsidies to cinemagoers in their heated battle for market share. This means the gross of any release is almost always higher than what moviegoers actually paid to see it.
We'll also dip back into audience figures from the recently completed Summer Olympics in Rio. This time however we have some data about viewership in Europe, Canada and elsewhere. To nobody's surprise, more people streamed coverage online than ever before.
Of course we also cover the week's top entertainment news including how Netflix international subscribers will soon outnumber those in the United States, a changing of the guard at Twentieth Century Fox gets expedited and the late Prince's home and music studio is set to become a museum.

Powerful earthquake generates tsunami off coast of Chile
(Santiago) -- Chilean officials say at least five people are dead after a magnitude 8.2 earthquake struck off the country's coast. The quake has prompted a tsunami warning for Chile's coastline which will remain in effect for at least another six hours. The earthquake struck about 60 miles northwest of the mining town of Iquique. The town is currently under military control after more than 300 prisoners escaped from a jail following the earthquake. Emergency officials in Chile say there are reports of landslides partially blocking some highways and roads.
People there have been asked to evacuate the entire coast because of the tsunami warning. Early reports say wave activity measured over six feet. The tsunami could be destructive along the coasts near the quake's epicenter and could also threaten more distant coasts. Four years ago, a magnitude 8.8 quake triggered a tsunami that hit several coastal towns in central and southern Chile. That disaster killed over 500 people.

Just in case the Atlanta Falcons scenario wasn't grim enough, FoxSports' NFL Insider Jay Glazer is reporting the team fears wide receiver Julio Jones will miss the remainder of the season with a right foot injury. Jones caught eight passes for 99 yards in Monday's loss to the Jets, but he sat out briefly in the second half and was seen hobbling out of the x-ray room. Jones leads the NFL with 41 receptions and all wide receivers with 580 receiving yards.
Fantasy Analysis:
Glazer reports the initial exam revealed a season-ending injury, but Jones will go for a second opinion on Wednesday. The worst case scenario would be crushing for a 1-4 team hoping to rally after their bye week . The Falcons are currently without injured running back Steven Jackson and wide receiver Roddy White remains limited with an ankle and new hamstring injury. Harry Douglas ' fantasy value would shoot up into WR3 range by default. Matt Ryan 's would not.
