since we did a baseball nursery for ben,
we decided to have that be the theme for his
1st birthday.
the invitation
decorations and details
sign sending people to the backyard
happy birthday banner
it's hard to get a good picture because it was so long!
i alternated pictures of him at each month
and the letters of happy birthday
the food
home plate cake
i set up a concession stand out of
two windows in our porch
the desserts
i made the cake pops, cake and chocolate marshmallows
the cookies are from just-iced on etsy
the ballpark concessions
the cotton candy cones were a big hit...
but the hot dog vendor made the party!
i am one banner
pin the ball on the bat
perfect pitch
(try to throw 4 balls through the hoop)
party favors
bats and assorted balls
his shirt says BEN
and then around the ball says "i am one" & "birthday boy"
i ordered it from my personalized tshirt on etsy
she also made the custom shirts from ben's birth announcement.
it was very rainy all day so i didn't get to decorate the yard as much as i would've liked. but it didn't rain during the party so i'm not complaining!
a couple ideas that i didn't do:
*vases with dirty baseballs and a ribbon around
*play a baseball game and have t-shirts made up
*a scoreboard made to look like the one at wrigley field
*have all the guests sign a baseball

NP Rank:
Wisdom and Strength
There are people possessing of wisdom and there are people possessing of strength; and often these are not the same people.
There are plenty of young guys who have very strong personalities from being in the military or playing football, who don't know very much. And then there are any number of older people who have not much of any kind of strength left, but have a lifetime of wisdom and experience.
In many cases, there is no contact between the two, and that creates a negative outcome. The wisdom is lost and does not reach the doers, while actions that do take place are foolish. A much better outcome is to have wisdom being relevant to the world and to its actions. And this means that the people of action need to always be close to people of wisdom in order to guide their actions toward more informed outcomes.
One error of gerontocratic societies such as China has been that of suppressing the youth. That is no more the rightful stance to take than is silencing the old people: there are plenty of ingenious and innovative things that can come from the youth, and the world benefits from them; and there are also any number of older people who are completely corrupt. More valid than either direction is one in which the old and the young have an ongoing interaction in a mutually respectful framework, with both the old age and the youth recognizing the value in the other and treating each other accordingly. One possesses more wisdom; the other possesses more dynamism, energy and charm. If the energy is adequately informed adequately by wisdom, it takes much better directions than it does if it is not.
This interaction is likely to reduce the risk of groupthink - of people thinking the same with each other to the point that their perspective no longer reflects reality. There are errors that are specific to old people (such as a hidebound embrace of tradition to the exclusion of innovation); and there are errors that are specific to young people (such as failing to recognize what other people have learned through life). One ruinous groupthink we've seen in recent years (though one unrelated to the issue of old age and youth) has been political correctness - a product of cold mean-spirited harpies in academia deciding that they speak for all women without other women having voted for them to do so, from which position they decided it rightful to maliciously attack all women who wouldn't submit to their party line. Both youth and old age, when left to their own devices, develop groupthink; and it is through constant interchange among one another that this problem is reduced.
But for right decisions to be made and put into effect, the person of action has to have the input from the people of wisdom; and this can take place at all levels of society. Some people will be more strong than they are wise, and some people will be more wise than they are strong. Putting the two together will result in more informed action. And that stands to benefit everyone.

Boy Scout Develops YMCA Walking Trail
Henrico Citizen Staff Reports 11/02/10
The YMCA of Greater Richmond recently announced that a walking trail had been established on the Chickahominy Family YMCA property, thanks in part to Boy Scout Jared Appleby. The creation of the trail was the 17-year-old student's Eagle Scout Leadership Service Project and will allow Y members to exercise and enjoy the outdoors.
Before marking the best possible path for the walking trail, Appleby consulted a scoutmaster who works with the Henrico County Department of Recreation and Parks and family members who hiked the Appalachian Trail and researched trail development. In late August, Appleby worked with a team of 24 volunteers with hand tools and a borrowed bush hog to clear land for the trail, which is just shy of one mile in length. Appleby raised all of the funds and donations necessary to complete the trail by meeting with the Varina Ruritan Club and sending letters that secured support from national chains such as Home Depot, Kroger and Martins. Chickahominy Family YMCA officials hope to enhance the trail with exercise stations in the future. |

In Varina, one of the most anticipated events of the season is approaching. The 19th Annual Big Toy Parade will return on Dec 14, offering a "homey," small-town feel that helps elicit holiday spirit among participants and spectators alike.
The parade, which begins at 3 p.m., is sponsored by the Battlefield Ruritans and Henrico County Parks and Recreation and is held in conjunction with the James River Boat Parade. It is led by a grand marshal along Old Osborne Turnpike and ends at the Osborne Boat Landing, where hundreds of community members gather to await nightfall and the arrival of lighted boats, concluding a festive holiday celebration. > Read more.

Gettin' piggy with it at Henricus
Photo by Roger Walk for the Henrico Citizen 11/24/2013
Henricus Historical Park has a new, messy guest. Eleanor, a rare five-month-old Tamworth pig, was donated this month to the Chesterfield park by the Chesterfield County Farm Bureau as part of an effort to enhance the living history museum's partnership with the Virginia Foundation for Agriculture in the Classroom. Eleanor and her livestock pig and goat neighbors at the park will be a special attraction for the schoolchildren and others who visit the Henricus Historical Park. Eventually, she will triple from her current 150-pound weight and grow to about two feet tall. > Read more.

GREEN: Twitter Gitmo
Is social-media site being used to silence conservatives?
Twitter was buzzing April 29 over news that conservative Chris Loesch was having a hard time keeping his account online. The music producer and composer's account was suspended and reinstated three times in 24 hours. Site administrators worked to stay ahead of an apparent campaign by leftist users to trigger automatic algorithms to kick him offline by reporting him as a spammer.
Mr. Loesch believes the spam-reporting campaign was sparked by comments he made in defense of his wife, conservative radio host, CNN contributor and Breitbart editor Dana Loesch. "It was business as usual for her I suppose," he told The Washington Times. "Veiled threats, rape and murder comments, the typical liberal misogynist slag. Being the chivalrous and testosterone filled being I am requires me to protect the woman I love and call out the haters for being the 'anonymous internet tough guys' they are. … Needless to say they don't like being called out and struck back by reporting me as a spammer or worse."
He was notified of his suspension via an email from Twitter claiming it was due to multiple unsolicited mentions to other users. "You will need to change your behavior to continue using Twitter," the email admonished. But Mr. Loesch was unwilling to even tacitly agree to his assumed guilt. "I never threatened anyone and am careful about being concise with what I write especially in public," Mr. Loesch explained to us. "They were going to make me sign this note that said one more infraction and I would be permanently banned. I wasn't going to do that so I wrote emails to some of their people."
Mr. Loesch was reinstated for the third time on April 30. His case was surely helped by the rallying of support of fellow conservatives sending tweets using the hashtag (a twitter-specific identifier that groups tweets) #FreeChrisLoesch and #FreeChrisLoeschAgain after his subsequent suspensions. Countless tweets and retweets resulted in the tags quickly becoming the top two trending topics worldwide on the social-media network. As attention to his case increased, more conservative users came forward sharing experiences of having been suspended after tweeting about their political views.
If Twitter is indeed using an algorithm that allows user accounts to be reactively suspended according to malicious whims, that presents a serious shortcoming to using the site, regardless of politics. Confirming that conservatives are being targeted, or even that Mr. Loesch was under siege, is difficult as Twitter is notorious for stonewalling and did not respond to multiple requests for comment. An administrator did acknowledge a coordinated block to Mr. Loesch, however.
As conservatives gather more evidence and liberals screech about paranoia, Twitter's ongoing silence on whether users can be arbitrarily shut down by a self-policing system is not the best response for individuals wondering if all tweets are treated equally.

About Me
Michael DeWilde is Director of the Business Ethics Center at the Seidman College of Business and an Associate Professor of Philosophy at Grand Valley State University. He is a regular speaker at conferences, the recipient of a major grant from the Kellogg Foundation, and winner of a 2007 Pew "Teaching Excellence" award. Prof. DeWilde teaches the MBA Business Ethics course, Ethics, Theories of Human Nature, Eastern Philosophy, and the Community Working Classics seminar, which received the 2002 national award for "Excellence and Innovation in Philosophy Programs" from the American Philosophical Association. His latest article, published in the July 2010 issue of Philosophical Practice, is titled "Art, Aristotle, and Ambiguity: Notes from an Accidental Consultant." In November of 2010 he was a keynote speaker at Northwestern University's Brady Center for Ethics and Civic Life, and in October of 2010 an invited speaker at Grand Valley's inaugural TEDx conference on Sustainability. In February of 2011 he delivered a series of talks on applied ethics at the University of Pondicherry in southern India. He has a chapter on the importance of introspection for developing leaders in the forthcoming book Social Responsibility, Entrepreneurship and the Common Good to be published by Pelgrave Press, and is also now a Research Affiliate professor with the ESC Rennes School of Business, Rennes, France. For many years he has taught meditation out of his home, and has consulted with West Michigan businesses as an executive coach. His work has been featured in the Grand Rapids Press, the New York Times and Inc. Magazine, among other places. He holds degrees from Harvard University and Grand Valley State University.
What I Do
My consulting work is an extension of my teaching, which brings together work in ethics, organizational and evolutionary psychology, literature, management theory and leadership development. I have been hired to foster culture change in businesses, to help young professionals develop, to clarify how stated values and observable behaviors might go together, and to write. As it was portrayed in the rather unfortunate and badly edited 2006 NY Times article (no fault of the Padnoses or the managers there, who were also misrepresented) my work might well appear elitist, a regrettably fair conclusion from that piece. It is, though, in fact, anything but. I am wholly interested in how people and organizations actually work, and what works for them as they seek to change to suit their own definition of "better," not my definition. My approach is pragmatic and draws on what will help, not what will offer only theoretical explanations. The same writer who wrote the Times article wrote a much better and more representative piece later in Inc. magazine on the Koeze Co., a company I also consulted with for a period of time. Since "communication" and "conflict-aversion" are the two issues I am asked to address more than any others, it seems important here to acknowledge that both take time, patience, humor and perseverance to improve. A good consultant, I've come to think, is someone who listens relentlessly and carefully, not least in an attempt to take his own advice.

Digital Literacy Training
Much more information has been posted about this:
- Overview of the 3 major points from FCC Commission Genachowski
- More information on the digital literacy corps (and how libraries fit in)
Part of the National Broadband Plan was not only the increase in broadband adoption rates, but the creation of the Digital Literacy Corps. Libraries – in particular, public libraries – have been serving in this role for over a decade. The Federal Communications Commission, however, has now formalized it as part of the "Connect to Compete" project.
This is a non-profit initiative that includes both the public and private sectors. Companies like Best Buy and Microsoft are partners, as are libraries.
Chairman Genachowski's proposal would enable thousands of more libraries to host in-person,
basic digital literacy training programs.
At least some of the resources to help libraries fulfill this vision will be from the Institute for Museum and Library Services, so keep watch!

Stanford University is providing three of its courses to anyone at no charge. Not just any courses, but three of the most popular courses:
Classes start October 10th, so there is still time to sign up.
- What's required of you as a student? Readings, assignments, quizzes, an exam and at least 12 hours per week devoted to the course.
- What is different between you and the Stanford student who paid tuition? You will not get "one-on-one interaction with the professor, the full content of the lectures – or a Stanford degree."
"Technology Training in Libraries"
Sarah Houghton-Jan – known as the Librarian in Black — has penned what looks like a very helpful book — Technology Training in Libraries. From her blog:
Technology Training in Libraries covers technology training for libraries…with an approach that works for both staff and customers. I cover different types of tech training: how to create a basic technology training program, technology petting zoos, peer training, lunchtime brown bags, online learning, and face-to-face learning. I talk about documentation, class websites, marketing, and success measures. I cover tips for trainers too: organizing courses, creating class materials, pacing classes, engaging difficult learners, and working with library management and unions. I also include a humongous list of recommended resources on anything and everything related to tech training — from tutorials to sample lesson plans, from how-to videos to sample library tech competencies lists.
Sounds like a very practical book and well worth purchasing! $55 from Neal-Schuman.
Video: Secure Websites in Plain English
Common Craft has done it again — explaining a technical topic in a simple, non-threatening way. If you have patrons that don't understand how to know when they should enter their credit card information and when it is a scam, have them watch this 3-minute video.
If you are interested in how these videos are made, TechSoup held an online webinar in November 2009 with Lee LeFever who, with his wife Sachi, develop and create these videos. It's very interesting to watch and to see how long it actually takes to create something that seems so "simple." The recording is freely available, as are the videos — for library use.
Webinars from MaintainIT Cookbooks
If you haven't yet seen the two cookbooks put out by MaintainIT, you should take a look. In addition to these resources, they have started a series of free, monthly, 30-minute webinars on topics pulled from the cookbooks.
The first was today, April 16th — Notes from a Laptop Circulation Program. It is archived, so you can see it anytime. The next is May 21st and its on Wireless Acceptable Use Policies.

Internet Librarian 2007
If you haven't found it yet, most of the presentations from the 2007 Internet Librarian conference are now available. There were a number of presenters from Texas:
- Karen Coombs, University of Houston Libraries — co-presented AJAX for Libraries & Screencasting & E-Learning on a Shoestring
- Michelle Boule, University of Houston Libraries — co-presented Academic Library 2.0 & Screencasting & E-Learning on a Shoestring
- Bennett Ponsford and Christina Hoffman Gola, Texas A&M University Libraries — co-presented Inspiration for Your Library Redesign
- Bruce Krajewski, Texas Woman's University — co-presented Strategic Approaches to the New Academic Library
- Mary Ann Bell, Sam Houston State University –Here Today . . . Here To Stay? The Future of Blogs
If I missed someone, my apologies — let me know!
Don't stop with just these – there were a number of great presentations this year. Take a few minutes to check them out!
Technology Competencies and Training
The latest issue of Library Technology Reports 43:2 (March/April 2007) was written by Sarah Houghton-Jan, the LibrarianInBlack. Titled Technology Competencies and Training for Libraries:
"This work," summarizes Houghton-Jan, "is an attempt to fill the gap in knowledge about documenting technology competencies with overall guiding principles, examples of successful projects, and project-management guidelines for those embarking upon such a project in their libraries."
I haven't yet seen it, but it sounds like it is definitely worth a look!
Ten Tips for Technology Training
Rachel Singer Gordon and Michael Stephens wrote an article for the May 2006 issue of Computers in Libraries called "Ten Tips for Technology Training." (Sorry — there is a fee for this one.) For those of you who have been doing this for some time, there are no surprises here — just good reminders:
- Carry multiple version of your training documents
- Use real-world examples
- Create an online community around your training
- Use A/V and hands-on tools
- Create with PowerPoint
- Promote classes using Flickr
- Keep up to date
- Rehearse, but be flexible in the class
- Play with and use Web 2.0 tools, e.g., IM, blogs, wikis, feeds
- Enjoy it
Good ideas that support the theories of adult education. Interaction . . . make it practical . . . interaction . . . give me materials I can use after the course . . . interaction . . . keep up with new tools . . . interaction . . . have fun!

It hardly ever does for me. 360revolution also has a great built in USB explorer. I usually use a plain old 360 usb explorer outside of modio though.
You need to make sure your USB Device has been configured. If you haven't do the following: Go to System Settings. Go to Memory Units. Select your USB Device and then configure it to your desire. If that's not the problem, then do these next steps: On your PC, go to the USB Device Folder. Now click "Tools" on the Tool Strip. Click "Folder and Search Options". Then click on the "View" tab. Under "Hidden Files and Folders", select "Show hidden files, folders and drives". Click "OK". An Xbox 360 Folder should appear, you can now try and open it in Modio. If it doesn't work in Modio, you can download USBxTAF Explorer and alternatively use that.
http://www.mediafire.com/?jd2zdjmdt1n bro just use this usb explorer its called usbxtafgui youtube for tutorial or another link.
I have the same problem and tried that. it says i need permissioin from and adminm to see any profiles on modio. i'm like a begginner at all this stuff, but how do i be admin, in have Windows 7.

Kudos to County Board for protecting elephants
- June 12, 2012 03:36 PM (GMT)
Members of the Dane County Board took the time to learn how elephants used in circuses are trained and handled and about the conditions they are forced to endure.
The board deserves praise for adding Dane County to the large and fast-growing list of U.S. communities and countries around the world that have banned the use of elephants in circuses.
No one who takes the time to look into the use of elephants in circuses can have any doubt about the cruelty involved in training them or great suffering these animals are forced to endure.

Whisk all ingredients together except for the veal stock, set aside for later use and add the veal stock right before service
To start, heat the butter in a stock pot and add carrots, onions and celery. Cook the mixture until slightly caramelized and then add the chorizo, garlic and thyme. Once there, add the chicken stock and simmer until the stock is reduced by half. Season with salt and pepper to taste, set aside for later use.
Marinate the chicken overnight in rosemary citrus marinade. Next, grill the chicken until thoroughly cooked. Add the White Bean Cassoulet to the serving dish and top with the chicken. Once there, top with the Lemon Herb Sauce and garnish with the parsley. Enjoy!

Center for a New American Security
last updated: May 22, 2013
Please note: IPS Right Web neither represents nor endorses any of the individuals or groups profiled on this site.
Established in 2007, the Center for a New American Security (CNAS) is widely considered one of the Barack Obama administration's key outside think tanks on national security and defense policy, particularly with respect to counterinsurgency strategy (COIN). Described by the Los Angeles Times as "a haven for hawkish Democrats,"[1] CNAS calls itself an "independent and nonpartisan research institution" that aims to engage "policymakers, experts, and the public with innovative fact-based research, ideas, and analysis to shape and elevate the national security debate."[2]
CNAS' leading role in Obama-era policy-making was highlighted when in 2009 when the organization's cofounders—Michele Flournoy and Kurt Campbell—as well as several other CNAS scholars were tapped to serve in the administration.[3] Flournoy became the undersecretary of defense for policy, the same post held by the controversial neoconservative figure Douglas Feith during the first George W. Bush administration. Campbell was tapped to serve as the State Department's lead Asia expert.[4]
Several CNAS principals were also named to the Defense Policy Board,[5] the in-house Pentagon advisory board which, under the leadership of former chair Richard Perle, played a role in promoting an expansive "war on terror" during the Bush administration.[6]
Flournoy, who also served as a foreign policy surrogate for Barack Obama's 2012 presidential campaign, was floated as a possible candidate for secretary of defense in the second Obama administration amid efforts by "pro-Israel" activists to scuttle the nomination of former Sen. Chuck Hagel (R-NE). Writing for The New Republic, blogger Molly Redden—who called CNAS "a pipeline for the young and talented individuals who now populate the lower ranks of the Department of Defense"—described Flournoy as "the name that conservatives have floated as an alternative" to Hagel, although Redden argued that this was more out of neoconservative opposition to Hagel than support for Flournoy.[7]
A largely centrist think tank with liberal-hawk tendencies,[8] CNAS' leadership has included a range of Democratic and Republican leaders over the years, as well as several high-profile corporate leaders and policy wonks. As of early 2013, CNAS' president was Richard Fontaine, a State Department veteran, former National Security Council staffer, and a past adviser to Sen. John McCain (R-AZ).[9] Fontaine's predecessor was John Nagl, whom the Inter Press Service described as "a poster boy for COIN enthusiasts, including influential neoconservatives who featured Nagl at the March kick-off of their newest think tank, the Foreign Policy Initiative (FPI)."[10]
Also as of 2013, CNAS' board of directors—led by former Clinton Secretary of the Navy Richard Danzig—included former Clinton Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, former Bush Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage, former Lockheed executive and Center for Security Policy adviser Norman Augustine, and Mitt Romney adviser Mitchell Reiss, among others.[11] In addition to representatives from corporations like Boeing and JPMorgan, CNAS' board of advisers has included well-known liberal hawks like Anne-Marie Slaughter and Michael O'Hanlon, as well as notable neoconservatives like Paula Dobrianksy.[12]
Among its activities, the organization hosts conferences, publishes blogs, and runs dozens of projects devoted to U.S. security interests in various countries, as well as on security issues related to defense spending, climate change, and the Internet, among many others. These have included a "National Security Leaders Forum," which serves as "a platform for senior civilian and military leaders to address the Washington policy community and media on the most important national security issues of the day"; "war games" like the 2008 game "Clout and Climate Change," described as a "future scenario exercise to explore the national security implications of global climate change"; and a "Next Generation National Security Leaders Program," which aims to "gather future national security leaders to participate in a series of frank and open discussions on the foreign policy challenges of today and tomorrow."[13]
CNAS blogs include the "Natural Security Blog" on the intersection of security environmental issues, as well as "Abu Muqawama," a widely read blog on counterinsurgency run by CNAS scholar Andrew Exum. A retired U.S. army soldier who served in Iraq and Afghanistan—and a former fellow at the hawkish, "pro-Israel" Washington Institute for Near East Policy—Exum is considered a preeminent scholar on contemporary counterinsurgency strategy, though his work has been criticized as overly enthusiastic about it.[14] CNAS also maintains "Flashpoints," a blog devoted to chronicling developments in the South China Sea. Well-known CNAS fellows Thomas Ricks and Marc Lynch are bloggers for Foreign Policy magazine.[15]
On Military Intervention
CNAS' policy publications tend to take a technocratic, problem-solving approach to U.S. wars overseas. As blogger Daniel Luban has written, CNAS "did not make its name with outspoken denunciations of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan; it made its name with pragmatic recommendations for how to wage the wars more effectively," developing in particular "a niche as the think-tank of choice for proponents of counterinsurgency."[16]
A set of December 2012 reports marking the one-year anniversary of the U.S. withdrawal from Iraq illustrated these tendencies. One of the reports, entitled "Iraq in Hindsight" and authored by Emma Sky, criticized numerous aspects of the war's execution and assessed that the Iraq war had "left over 100,000 Iraqis dead, enabled the resurgence of Iran and tarnished the reputation of U.S. democracy promotion." Yet rather than warning against future such incursions, the report concluded simply that U.S. policymakers should "internalize these lessons … when intervening elsewhere in the future."[17] A contemporaneous CNAS report advocated increasing bilateral U.S.-Iraqi security ties while also warning Iraq's government against crossing a number of "red lines" regarding its domestic and regional politics.[18]
On the other hand, CNAS scholars have also warned against military intervention in Iran or Syria.
In a February 2012 report on Syria, for example, Marc Lynch warned that while the United States should apply firm diplomatic pressure against the Assad regime, armed intervention would only exacerbate the conflict. "Military intervention will allow Americans to feel they are doing something," he wrote. "But unleashing even more violence without a realistic prospect of changing the regime's behavior or improving security is neither just nor wise." Lynch also counseled against providing arms to Syria's opposition, warning that it could prolong the conflict and lead to an eventual full-scale intervention.[19]
Similarly, a June 2012 report cautioned U.S. policymakers against limiting their diplomatic options with Iran. "All options, including preventive military action, should remain on the table, but policymakers should recognize that the potential risks and costs associated with using force are high," its authors wrote. "Military action should remain a last resort, which should be contemplated only by the United States and only under stringent conditions"—namely, only if "Iran appears poised to weaponize its nuclear capability," which it suggests is not currently the case. The report also cautioned against drawing diplomatic "red lines"—especially regarding Iran's domestic uranium enrichment—and also cautioned against a unilateral Israeli strike on Iran's nuclear facilities, warning it would only have the effect of "increasing the risks to Israeli security and regional stability."[20]
A May 2013 report by Colin Kahl, Raj Pattani, and Jacob Stokes built on this work, concluding that while "The commitment to use all instruments of national power, including the possible use of force, to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons should remain firm … this preference for prevention should not be used as an excuse to avoid thinking through the requirements for effective containment." The report argued that because Iran could likely develop a nuclear arsenal even if the United States and its allies tried to stop it, Washington should develop a strategy for containing and deterring that includes options in addition to the use of force. The authors recommended promoting political reform in the Gulf region, bolstering regional missile defense capabilities, adopting a "no-first-use" pledge and encouraging Israel to do the same, ramping up counterterrorism operations, and explicitly disavowing regime change as a goal of U.S. engagement with Iran in the event of a crisis. They wrote that the goals of U.S. policy should be deterrence of "Iranian nuclear use and aggression," defense of U.S. national interests, disruption of Iran's "destabilizing activities," de-escalation of regional crises, and denuclearization of the Gulf.[21]
The Inter Press Service linked the report to an emerging elite consensus toward "calling for more emphasis on the diplomatic track" with respect to U.S.-Iranian relations. Alongside the CNAS report, Jim Lobe observed, "recent reports by blue-ribbon task forces of The Iran Project, the Atlantic Council, the Carnegie Endowment, and the Center for the National Interest have shown a developing elite consensus in favor of greater U.S. flexibility at the negotiating table."[22]
Neoconservative Connections
Despite the think tank's generally more cautious view with respect to Iran and Syria, leading CNAS figures have worked on neoconservative-led advocacy campaigns and helped produce studies promoting U.S. military intervention.
CNAS drew attention in early 2009, for example, when its president, John Nagl, participated in a conference hosted by an advocacy group founded by William Kristol and Robert Kagan called the Foreign Policy Initiative, which is viewed by some observers as a successor to the Project for the New American Century.[23] The March 2009 conference, titled "Afghanistan: Planning for Success," was striking for its support for President Obama, who had recently announced plans to send 21,000 new troops to Afghanistan. A bipartisan group of officials and policy wonks—including Sen. John McCain (R-AZ), Robert and Frederick Kagan, Rep. Jane Harman (D-CA), and Nagl— praised Obama's escalation policy.[24]
During his speech, Nagl argued that the new troops were "merely a down payment on the vastly expanded force needed to protect all 30 million Afghan people." Offering bipartisan cover for the work of neoconservative groups like FPI, Nagl said, "There used to be a bipartisan consensus in this country on foreign policy, in particular when we have our sons and daughters at war. And I am hopeful that events like this will contribute to that."[25]
Commenting on CNAS's role in Washington discourse on security policy, Kelley Beaucar Vlahos wrote in The American Conservative, "COIN today is the realm of CNAS, as if Frederick Kagan and AEI had never existed. But it won't do to deny the family resemblance, says retired Army Col. Douglas Macgregor: 'You will hear the same things at the Center for a New American Security as you will at the American Enterprise Institute. Nation-building at gunpoint, democracy at gunpoint. What's the difference?'"[26]
Another commentator, Andrew Bacevich, a generally conservative scholar who was a vocal critic of neoconservative influence in the George W. Bush administration, also finds similarities between CNAS and groups like AEI. Wrote Vladhos, "Adherents of the old neoconservative vision and these new security policymakers all 'drank the Kool-Aid,' said Boston University Professor Andrew Bacevich. … Both groups, he added, see war as 'a perpetual condition,' employing massive firepower and boots on the ground, draining 'billions, if not trillions of dollars,' in pursuit of goals based on skewed assumptions about American interests abroad."[27]

National Death Index
The National Death Index (NDI) was implemented in 1982 to facilitate retrospective and prospective studies in medical and health research by reducing the time, expense, and effort involved in ascertaining information about deaths, either for an entire study population or just for those subjects who could not be contacted. The NDI is a national, computerized index of death record information compiled from computer files submitted to the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) by each state's vital statistics office. The NDI contains records on virtually all deaths in the United States since 1979. About 2.4 million death records are added to the file each year.
A researcher or investigator desiring access to NDI data must submit an official application form. (The NDI is not accessible to organizations or the general public for legal, administrative, or genealogy purposes.) Once the application is approved, the investigator is instructed to submit a computer file containing identifying information on each study subject. This file is to be prepared in a specified format and then mailed to NCHS on diskette or CD-ROM. Investigators are strongly encouraged to compile as many of the NDI data items as possible: first and last name, middle initial, father's surname, Social Security number, date of birth, state of birth, state of residence, sex, race, marital status, and age at death (if known). NCHS searches this information against records in the NDI database and sends the investigator a report showing which records generated one or more possible matches with NDI records. The NDI also provides the state of death and the death certificate number for each possible match. It is the investigator's responsibility to assess the match results and to determine which are true matches based on the data items that agree or disagree. The investigator may then contact state vital statistics offices for copies of the relevant death certificates to confirm the matches or obtain information such as the cause of death.
Beginning in 1997, the NCHS obtained authorization from each state vital statistics office to enhance the NDI service by also releasing the cause of death codes for close matches. This new service is called NDI Plus. The codes are derived from the World Health Organization's International Classification of Diseases for both the underlying and multiple causes of death.
The NDI has been used for a variety of studies, including occupational health studies where workers exposed to hazardous chemicals or low-level radiation are tracked over time. It has been used for tracking participants in cohort studies of health problems and clinical trials of new treatments; for tracking subjects of cancer registries to determine outcomes; and for the U.S. National Longitudinal Mortality Study, where a sample of over 2 million persons drawn from Census Bureau surveys are tracked over time.

Some Inauguration Visitors Feel Misled
Reader Comments
I totally understand how she feels, for I am one of the students too that feels mislead! I have already alerted CNN about this matter and plan to alert more.! This is not right. Everything that they offered was descriped an a way to imply an more enjoyable experience. One worth the $2800. But the experience we recieved was not worth all the money and left almost all the students upset and feeling decieved. There are many students, including myself, that is expected to recall the events to a local newspaper, they expect to see pics and hear things that they could not get from just looking at the news and I have nothing to offer, except what has already been discussed in the news. We were told that we would be able to witiness firsthand the Inauguration and they also called us special guests on National Mall but we did not recieve any special attention, instead we were set free at 3:00 to roam the streets and find National Mall ourselves and fight the crowd for a good spot. We were also told that we would attend a Black Tie Inaugural Gala, and when we get here we are told that our "Gala" is actually a "Gala just for other UPIC students, and Obama would not be attending because he knew nothing about it. We spent $2800+ to be special guest to the Inauguration and attend a Black Tie Inaugural Ball Gala, but we recieved nothing more the the other people that came for the inauguration, maybe less!
It's not fair to be harsh on these "scholars" and "leaders" after all the buttering-up they were given.
The website used weasel phrases like "Witness the Inauguration..." and "View the inaugural parade..." and "The exclusive Black Tie Gala Inaugural Ball...". In none of these descriptions did the website state there was reserved or exclusive access to these events. The kids probably assumed they would be given this access, along with all the other special treatment they were getting.
Live and learn.
"Fool me once, shame on you,
Fool me twice, shame on me!"
Ah, well -- the kiddies learned a hard lesson about "assuming" anything: you can't. It just goes to show what our universities are NOT teaching students about looking at the facts and using some common sense. It also shows the sense of entitlement the current generation possesses, and that they plan to protest their treatment? It would be laughable if it weren't so sad.
Grow up, kids.
Welcome to politics kid! He got your vote and now he's president. This is why they need to raise the voting requirement age. duh. The Al Gore lecture on the now defunct myth of global warming is just adding insult to injury.
If you look at the site it clearly does not promise any of those things. I think this is just a case of someone not looking closely at what they were getting.
Check it out they are doing online enrollment for the 2009 University Presidential Inaugural Conference, hmmmm now what President is getting inaugurated in 2009?
Get used to promises that cannot be kept.

I am a former Memphian transplanted in Kingwood, Texas (home of Josh Pastner) and a skate park was built across the street from the local police substation. Kids love it and behave. How about that idea in Memphis?
There's one in Vancouver, WA on the same property as a police station and a park with a very nice playground. Works well for everyone I'd say.

No pun intended, but I hammered away at the City of Greensboro's $20 million GTA headquarters and maintenance facility from the beginning.
Now the Rhino's John Hammer hammers away, describing last week's dedication as a combination of Saturday Night Live and Monty Python, with Mayor Robbie Perkins as the lead jokester.
If only this were a bad joke. The ultimate irony, of course, is everyone who attended the ceremony to pay homage to the wonderfulness of public transportation arrived by —you guessed it —-automobile.

Water-resistant Emulsion Polymer for Eye Applications
Posted: May 8, 2007
National Starch Personal Care has introduced a film-forming polymer for color cosmetic applications. Dermacryl C (INCI: Acrylates copolymer) is a water-resistant emulsion polymer that offers volumization, enhanced curling, easy application and easy removal in mascara and eyeliner applications.
The ingredient is an acrylic emulsion polymer that delivers improved resistance to wear, reportedly allowing the creation of consumer products that last longer. The primary color cosmetic applications for the polymer will be eye treatments such as mascara and eyeliner; however, the ingredient can be formulated into eye shadows, blushes and more, according to the company.
The polymer is a low-viscosity, high-solid aqueous emulsion polymer that is pre-neutralized and has a low Tg (glass transition temperature), providing a flexible film. The product reportedly is alkyl phenol ethoxylate (APE)-free and preserved with an ingredient that makes it acceptable for use in every market in the world. Due to the polymer's emulsion, it has little impact on formulation viscosity, allowing formulation flexibility. It is said to offer soft, flexible and substantive films that build volume and provide reduced smudging and flaking for longer-lasting wear.
For more information on the product, visit www.personalcarepolymers.com.
