The Tennessee Titans hold the tenth pick in the 2013 NFL Draft, and they are expected to select a guard Chance Warmack with that pick. According to Titans beat writer Jim Wyatt, the Titans are hosting Florida International standout safety Jonathan Cyprien today. Cyprien is one of the best safety prospects in this draft class, and he might even be the second-best at the position behind Texas's Kenny Vaccaro. However, Vaccaro isn't even worth taking with the tenth pick in the draft.
So why are the Titans working out Cyprien? The Titans have the ninth pick in the second-round of the draft, so they could cross their fingers and hope that Cyprien falls. That is certainly possible, and that would be great value for him. Greg Cosell is one of the most respected evaluators out there, and he thinks Cyprien has a shot at being the best safety in this class.
Cyprien is a terrific high safety who brings excellent coverage to the field at the back end of the secondary at free safety. The Titans could use a guy like that, but they already have Michael Griffin (he is overrated and not a true free safety, though) locked in at FS. I don't see him going anywhere soon, and the Titans signed talented, underrated veteran George Wilson, as well as top in-the-box safety Bernard Pollard.
So it's interesting to see the Titans are still looking at the safety position, but I doubt they end up going safety and getting a guy like Cyprien in the second round. Cyprien will be off the board in the first somewhere between picks 20 and 32, and he's had visits set up with over ten teams.

OHIO Testing Services | Off Campus ProctoringProctors verify that exams are administered under the proper conditions. Some online classes require the midterm and the final exams be taken at a proctored site.
A proctor is someone who is employed full-time in education. Relatives, employers, co-workers, church leaders or anyone with a personal or business connection to you are NOT approved proctors. There are several proctor sites Ohio University works with listed below. You will still need to complete the proctor form if testing with a college other than Ohio University. If scheduling with an Ohio University campus you only need to contact that campus to schedule your appointment. All testing materials will be forwarded prior to exam date to each regional campus. In order to maintain the highest degree of integrity for Ohio University, we reserve the right to decline any person whom we feel could be a potential conflict of interest as a proctor.
How Proctoring Works
A Few Things You Need to Know About Proctor Sites:
OHIO Testing Services works closely with several off-campus proctoring sites. The list below includes several of the proctoring sites in Ohio often used by OHIO students.
If testing with a college other than Ohio University, you MUST complete the online form for EACH proctored exam.

Isaac Gorni Biography and Poems. This is biographical information on Isaac Gorni, one of the best poets of all time. This biography page also provides a link to poems written by Gorni, as well as, a video biography...if available.
Isaac Gorni (or Isaac ben Abraham haGorni ) was a late thirteenth-century Hebrew lyric poet from Aire-sur-l'Adour in Gascony, then ruled by the English Prince Edward. His surname derives from the Hebrew goren, "threshing floor", the Occitan for which is aire, as in his birthplace. He was widely travelled. In Provence he journeyed through Arles, Aix, Manosque, Carpentras, Apt, and Draguignan. He also went into Languedoc and Catalonia sojourning in Narbonne, Perpignan, and Luz. His habit was to enjoy the hospitality of the local Jewish community in return for entertaining it. He also accompanied himself on the kinnor, which was tied to his shoulder. He was not always successful, and his poems often record the ingratitude he encountered.

My first tattoo :) (Taken with instagram)
Someone asked me what it means.
I think it represents a lot of things in my life. I used to draw suns on my skin all the time when I was younger because I was really into Devendra Banhart so I guess it is kind of showing my admiration of him. I also feel like during that time a lot of things in my life were changing and really got a feeling of who I was and who I want to be. My best friend got it too so I think it is something that will always remind me of her. And I think it will always be there to remind me that I need balance in my life, because sometimes I forget that I need that.

What, I wonder, would an audience of 20-year-olds make of Major Barbara? That is, assuming you could get them to sit still for an evening of continuous unrhymed talk spouted in a context of relatively naturalistic behavior by people dressed in the quaint fashions of 100 years ago. Kids don't go for talk these dayshave Americans ever, really?and they distrust illusions. But Shaw was ahead of them on both counts: His word streams are mined with self-questioning jokes that detonate in huge laughs, destroying every torrent in mid cascade. As for illusion, he reduces it to rubble long before you can start disbelieving it; half of the detonating jokes are based on his awareness that a play is only a simulacrum made of words and structure. Major Barbara contributes famously to the first type of explosion when the Salvationists, receiving Undershaft's huge check, exclaim, "Thank God!" and he replies, "You don't thank me?" It knocks illusion down for good two scenes later when, after one of Undershaft's fiercest tirades, his estranged wife commands, "Andrew, stop making speeches."
Shaw's plays would be mere walls of words if he hadn't carefully inserted such cracks to let in the light of laughter. He also, cunningly, made a point of playing his word game by a strict set of rules: The speeches must represent the characters' opinions and not the author's, but those opinions must be given at white heat, and they must play a role in clarifying the author's own beliefs. Then they must be organized into a valid narrative sequence, and this sequence must equally support a valid musical structure. The opening scene of Barbara, superficially one of Shaw's looser plays, is as elegant as an 18th-century opera ensemble: First a duet for Stephen Undershaft and his mother; next a sextet as his two sisters enter with their prospective husbands; the butler's recitative marks the key change that, with Andrew Undershaft's entrance, turns the sextet into a septet, which modulates back into a sextet, presumably on the subdominant, when Cholly exits to fetch his concertina. His reentry brings it back to the tonic; the septet blazes up full for a while, then fades out as the characters exit one by oneleaving Stephen and his mother alone to reprise the duet theme with which the act opened. Mozart himself couldn't have done it more elegantly, though the particular source of Barbara's musical structure is probably the composer whom Shaw pointedly both quotes and names in the Salvation Army act, Donizetti.
The latter's bifurcated musical personality gives the key to Shaw's paradoxical play. The Donizetti tune that Barbara Undershaft's West Ham Salvation Army band has adapted is the wedding chorus from Lucia di Lammermoorthe story in which the bride, a trapped pawn in the war of two Scottish clans, goes mad and murders the groom. The score is the contradictory essence of the bel canto style: lightly tuneful and floridly decorative, but strongly grounded in the most violent of bloody passions. As is Shaw's drawing-room comedy, in which each of the two drawing-room scenes is followed, like the castle scenes in Donizetti's opera, by a trip to a dangerous outside reality: In lieu of the park where Lucia meets her lover and the wolf-haunted crags of Ravenswood, we get the yard of the West Ham shelter and the Undershaft munitions factory. Like Lucia's brother, Barbara's father is a charming deceiver, who uses false arguments to trick her into switching sides. But Shaw is modern and Donizetti is not: Barbara's lover, as false as her father, has already switched sides too. Andmodern thought being a bottomless pit of ironiesthe other side is the only side. Barbara's dream of a world where the souls of the poor can be saved without taking the devil's blood money is the adolescent dream of a sheltered, idealistic girl. At the end she puts it asidenot to inherit a munitions factory, but to find a new way to save souls.
Like most of Shaw's bigger plays, Major Barbara provoked moral disquiet as well as aesthetic confusion when it premiered in 1905. While the latter has abated, the former seems to run ever deeper. Two world wars, and the rest of the 20th century's towering chronicle of techno-carnage, have soured us on Undershaft's enthusiasm for improved killing machines; and while Shaw made his arms manufacturer an honest merchant who gave value for money, our contemporary Undershafts are chiefly con artists promoting epic boondoggles like the missile shield, in which only retards like Dubya believe. Even the arms dealer's rival, Christianity, for Shaw a misguided but infinitely powerful force, has dwindled in our time, to a mere tool hijacked by bigots for cheesy political purposes.
These thoughts come out because Daniel Sullivan's production, for once in the Roundabout's pockmarked history, is both straightforward and emotionallythough not always verballypellucid. Sullivan takes the play on strictly traditional terms, with no directorial funny business, off angles, or deconstructive interferencenothing like, for instance, the visual tilt of his Broadway Moon for the Misbegotten or the Freudian creeps of his Lincoln Center Ah, Wilderness! Apart from two mild experiments in casting that don't work outHenny Russell as a strangely brusque, tough-minded Sarah, and Zak Orth as a cartoonlike, slightly sissified Stephenthe characterizations are entirely traditional, and often extremely good within the tradition. (Among the minor roles, David Lansbury's Bill Walker, Rick Holmes's Cholly, and Beth Dixon's Mrs. Baines are especially well played.) The most successful of them is also the simplest: Dana Ivey's Lady Britomart. What wonderful body English, as well as vocal English, this great comic actress has. Surely her neck hasn't always moved in this peculiar way, giving her head the effect of a Bunraku puppet expressing displeasure. Bergson would rejoice: Here is his comic theory of mechanism come to life. Ivey's triumph is that of the actor as über-marionette. Watch her turn around in the last act's doorway, when Lady Britomart thinks Billson has called her "explosive," and you'll see a human attain the puppet's higher reality.

* Dave George will have a column today on new offensive coordinator Bill Lazor and how his unit is progressing. Lazor met with the media after practice and among the things he stressed was how he wants QB Ryan Tannehill to practice under game situations."The quarterback's got to play at game speed and that's the first thing that we're trying to do with Ryan from the very beginning," Lazor said.

Does Dolphins' Mike Pouncey still have a framed Aaron Hernandez jersey in his living room?
- 3:10 pm Tuesday, May 20th, 2014 by Andrew Abramson
Friends forever?
We know that Dolphins center Mike Pouncey was close friends in college with Aaron Hernandez, his University of Florida teammate.
Pouncey and his twin brother, Steelers center Maurkice, even posed for photos last summer in "Free Hernandez" hats.
So is Pouncey still such a big Hernandez fan that he has a framed Patriots jersey in his house?
Miko Grimes, the wife of Dolphins cornerback Brent Grimes, posted this photo on Instagram today.
Miami Dolphins pick up option on Mike Pouncey through 2015
- 4:23 pm Tuesday, April 29th, 2014 by Andrew Abramson
Dolphins center Mike Pouncey is coming off his best season on the field, but his most tumultuous off the field.
The team is sticking with him.
The Dolphins on Tuesday extended Pouncey's contract through 2015. He made his first trip to the Pro Bowl last season but also was cited in an NFL investigation for locker room bullying and was subpoenaed in connection with the Aaron Hernandez murder trial.
Pouncey and Hernandez were college teammates at Florida and are close friends.
Team officials have repeatedly praised Pouncey while cutting ties with offensive linemen Richie Incognito and John Jerry, who also were cited in the league investigation.
Pouncey is among the first batch of players eligible for the fifth-year option. The rookie wage scale — which was adopted in 2011, when Pouncey was drafted 15th overall — requires all draft picks to sign four-year contracts. But teams hold an option for a fifth year for players drafted in the first round.
New Dolphins lineman Shelley Smith: I'm fine on left or right side (Google Glass video)
- 12:33 pm Tuesday, April 1st, 2014 by Andrew Abramson
You can excuse Shelley Smith for holding his introductory press conference more than two weeks after he signed with Miami.
He had an important engagement to attend to — his own wedding.
It's been a whirlwind couple of weeks for Smith who missed his own rehearsal dinner while he was finalizing his deal with Miami.
His new wife, Lindsey, is likely OK with it. Smith signed a two-year $5.5 million ($1.5 million guaranteed) deal.
Smith, speaking to the media for the first time on Tuesday, said he's still not sure if he will play on the left or right side. He said he's played both in the past and is equally OK on either side.
Cutting Jonathan Martin could open up potential lawsuit for Dolphins
- 8:09 pm Monday, February 17th, 2014 by Andrew Abramson
Bringing Jonathan Martin back to Miami might be the Dolphins' best legal move.
Since Martin left the Dolphins in October, the prevailing logic has been that Miami would either cut him or attempt to trade him for a late-round draft pick (Martin was a 2012 second-round draft choice).
But if the Dolphins cannot find a willing trade partner, cutting him could be a dangerous legal maneuver.
Martin is set to earn a base salary of $825,000 in 2014 and $1.04 million in 2015, according to overthecap.com.
Ft. Lauderdale-based employment attorney William Amlong said Martin could sue the Dolphins if they cut him.
"Cutting him would be idiocy because then you do have a lot of great potential for litigation," Amlong said.
Mike Pouncey fined $100 for FBI subpoena; Jonathan Martin fined $1 million for being a wuss; see Miami Dolphins fine book
- 8:50 am Monday, February 17th, 2014 by Andrew Abramson
Here's something you don't get to see everyday. Thanks to the Ted Wells report, we get an actual page from the Dolphins' unofficial fine book.
A kangaroo court is nothing new in sports, but we don't often get to see it. Apparently right tackle Tyson Clabo had more than $30,000 stashed in his locker from these fines that players planned to use for a vacation.
The fines range from $50 for Clabo having grey hair, $150 for Dallas Thomas' stinky dreads and $100 for Mike Pouncey when he was subpoenaed by the FBI in connection with the Aaron Hernandez murder case (seems [More]
Jonathan Martin's camp to meet with Dolphins at NFL Combine
- 2:03 pm Saturday, February 15th, 2014 by Andrew Abramson
While Jonathan Martin's future with the Dolphins is uncertain, his agent said that the Martin camp will be meeting with Dolphins officials at the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis next week.
"We're going to meet with the Dolphins at the Combine and see what their plans are," agent Kenny Zuckerman told the Palm Beach Post. "Right now they have his property, they have his rights."
There's a lot of speculation that the Dolphins will either cut Martin or try to trade him. An NFL investigation found that Martin was repeatedly harassed by teammates Richie Incognito, Mike Pouncey and John Jerry. While the [More]
Will Dolphins' Mike Pouncey face a suspension from Wells report?
- 7:00 pm Friday, February 14th, 2014 by Andrew Abramson
Richie Incognito and Jonathan Martin are the big names in the Ted Wells report.
But the most important question for the Dolphins is whether center Mike Pouncey will face any ramifications?
The Wells report found that Incognito was the ring leader in locker room harassment but that he had two willing followers in Pouncey and guard John Jerry.
Incognito is an unrestricted free agent and there's no way the Dolphins bring him back. Jerry is also a free agent. Because Miami needs a new right tackle, left tackle and left guard, it might have made sense for the Dolphins to re-sign Pouncey for some stability. But he's an average guard at best, and the report could be reason enough for Miami to part ways with Jerry.
Pouncey, however, is a Pro Bowl center. He was already embroiled in the Aaron Hernandez murder case, first by wearing the "Free Herandez" hat, and secondly (and much more importantly) by being subpoenaed in Massachusetts, reportedly over questions of Hernandez and gun trafficking.
If Incognito was suspended eight games for his role in the bullying scandal, what about Pouncey? Will the NFL want to make an example out of everyone involved in this embarrassing mess? In addition to harassment, Pouncey was accused in the report of lying to investigators.

Punter Brandon Fields, cornerback Brent Grimes, center Mike Pouncey and defensive end Cameron Wake were named to the Pro Bowl on Friday evening.
Fields, in his seventh season, will be making his first trip to the game, which will be on Jan. 26 in Honolulu.
Grimes, in his first season with Miami and seventh overall, is making his second Pro Bowl Trip, matching his accomplishment in 2011. He is tied for the team lead with four interceptions.
Pouncey, in his third season, all with Miami, also will be making his first Pro Bowl trip.

Acid Reflux Natural Treatment
More options for treatment of GERD or Natural Treatment methods
Apart from the type of methods explained earlier there are some powerful and effectively proved methods available which are also natural and free of side effects in treating Acid Reflux condition.
Few of them are explained as follows;
Recreate a healthy lifestyle that includes eating healthy food, quit smoking ,exercises etc. Please note smoking can aggravate the condition of GERD as it further relaxes the LES muscles thus causing leakage of acidic juices from the stomach to the esophagus.
Watch what you wear i.e. wear loose clothing's as tight fitting clothes can put extra pressure on the stomach to release the juices towards the esophagus.
Control your body weight- An overweight person puts more pressure on the stomach and causes irritation and acid reflux.
Control stress
A lot has been already told about stress and it's unhealthy consequences. Stress can also make you prone to GERD. In this case when we are in stress our body tries to protect us by pumping more blood to our muscles to fight stress related fatigue and provide extra energy to fight a possible attack.
However, this leads to decrease in the blood that is pumped for digestion. As a result the secretion of digestive enzymes slows down thereby slowing down the passage of food to various digestive tracts. This results in heartburn or acid reflux attack or gastro esophageal reflux disease. Heartburn is the pain felt in the centre of the chest cavity caused by the flow of the acid back from the stomach to the esophagus.
Can you see how important it is to control stress and reduce it for preventing and treating Acid reflux attack?
Lets find out more about controlling GERd;
Exercise exercise exercise. exercise at least 4 times a week will boost up your energy levels and also enable you to sleep well.
Meditation helps in relaxing our mind body and soul. few minutes of deep breathing, yoga are few of the ways to achieve relaxation in an excellent way.
Join laughter club-another enjoyable way to keep stress at bay.
Create an organized routine. Take the help of near and dear ones and create list as per priority of the things you need to do in a day.
Eat right and well-
Following good and healthy eating habit plays a significant role in avoiding heartburn. This means we need to watch what we eat and also how we eat.
Following pointers can help in achieving this goal-
Have six small meals. Generally we eat 3 meals a day but fill our stomach so much that the contents get forced to reach back the esophagus. Eating small meals will help the stomach to relax and the LES to tighten itself properly to avoid the reflux.
Have a gap of at least 2 to 3 hours between your meals and the time you lie down. because if you lie down right after having food ,the acids working for the digestion of the food in the stomach may easily flow back to the esophagus causing heartburn. Also avoid snacking before sleeping.
Maintain a list of food that you find difficult to digest and may aggravate the symptoms of GERD. when you eat remember those drinks and food that may trigger heartburn in you and avoid them.
Eat candies; Sucking candies enhances the production of saliva which in turn neutralizes the effect of acid. Keep in mind though not to consume the mint based ones as they may stimulate the acid reflux.
Tips to sleep well-
Heartburn may happen even when you least expect it that is during sleep, if conscious efforts are not taken to follow these tips to avoid the flowing back off the acid from stomach to the esophagus;
Place a foam wedge under your torso or increase the height of the head of the bed by 6 inches will help to maintain the gravity towards the stomach thus prevent the flow of acid backwards to the esophagus.
Read for learning how to use acupressure effectively as a natural treatment method for treating acid reflux condition. Were you aware how deeply connected asthma is to acid reflux. Sore throat is also caused by Acid Reflux, learn some natural remedies to keep it away. Also read other sources on becoming GERD free by natural means. Acid Reflux during pregnancy should be treated carefully to avoid complications. There are various recipes and diets and acid reflux medicines available. You also need to take precautions from getting an Acid Reflux rebound. Do you know that Apple Cider Vinegar is used to cure Acid Reflux naturally.

Today some of my students had to write a letter to the president persuading that they should be the next president. When I noticed one of the little boys not writing a thing I asked him why he hadn't started. He responded with, "I don't want to be president. No one listens to me, there is too much paperwork, and I want to be a TEACHER." So I responded with, "Well you know being a teacher is kind of like being a president. You have to lead a classroom." He just looked at me and said, "But teaching is SOOO easy, you don't have to do anything…" That's when another little boy, who was listening in on the conversation, said to us, "You know, teachers have paperwork and they do a lot of things." (finally a young one that understands! Haha) and then the first little boy said, "Well I don't want to do this. Why do I have to do this? What if the city hears of my letter and makes me major? I don't want to be mayor!!" (Trying to contain my laughter) I said, "Good news, only I will be reading this letter so you don't need to be worrying about that." He then looked at me and claimed, "Yeah but I just don't want to do this." I responded by saying that everyday I do things that I don't want to do because I know I have to do them. He looked back at me and said, "Nope. You do anything and everything you want to do all the time." Oh how wrong he is! Lol somehow I got him to write something down…he wants to be president because he can play sports, good at reading and can eat. I mean, he did the assignment, right?

Major water users and regulators in Nebraska would have to come together to develop a water-management plan for each of the state's river basins, under a proposal in the Legislature.
The bill by Sen. Steve Lathrop would require local and state approval of the plans, which would include input from both surface- and groundwater users. If the goals outlined in the plans aren't met in 30 years, the Department of Natural Resources would take over basin management.
Lathrop will present his measure to a legislative committee on Tuesday.
Dean Edson, executive director of the Nebraska Association of Resources Districts, says the proposed requirements aren't feasible because the state doesn't have enough water to protect the rights of all surface-water users.

Documents published last year by WikiLeaks obtained from the US intelligence contractor Stratfor, show that in 2011 Jared Cohen, then (as he is now) Director of Google Ideas, was off running secret missions to the edge of Iran in Azerbaijan. In these internal emails, Fred Burton, Stratfor's Vice President for Intelligence and a former senior State Department official, describes Google as follows:
"Google is getting WH [White House] and State Dept support and air cover. In reality they are doing things the CIA cannot do…[Cohen] is going to get himself kidnapped or killed. Might be the best thing to happen to expose Google's covert role in foaming up-risings, to be blunt. The US Gov't can then disavow knowledge and Google is left holding the shit-bag"
In further internal communication, Burton subsequently clarifies his sources on Cohen's activities as Marty Lev, Google's director of security and safety and… Eric Schmidt.
WikiLeaks cables also reveal that previously Cohen, when working for the State Department, was in Afghanistan trying to convince the four major Afghan mobile phone companies to move their antennas onto US military bases. In Lebanon he covertly worked to establish, on behalf of the State Department, an anti-Hezbollah Shia think tank. And in London? He was offering Bollywood film executives funds to insert anti-extremist content into Bollywood films and promising to connect them to related networks in Hollywood. That is the Director of Google Ideas. Cohen is effectively Google's director of regime change. He is the State Department channeling Silicon Valley.

The county's district attorney, a fifty-seven-year-old woman with feathered Charlie's Angels hair named Lynda K. Russell, arrived an hour later. Russell, who moonlighted locally as a country singer, told Henderson and Boatright that they had two options. They could face felony charges for "money laundering" and "child endangerment," in which case they would go to jail and their children would be handed over to foster care. Or they could sign over their cash to the city of Tenaha, and get back on the road. "No criminal charges shall be filed," a waiver she drafted read, "and our children shall not be turned over to CPS," or Child Protective Services.
"Where are we?" Boatright remembers thinking. "Is this some kind of foreign country, where they're selling people's kids off?" Holding her sixteen-month-old on her hip, she broke down in tears.
Later, she learned that cash-for-freedom deals had become a point of pride for Tenaha, and that versions of the tactic were used across the country. "Be safe and keep up the good work," the city marshal wrote to Washington, following a raft of complaints from out-of-town drivers who claimed that they had been stopped in Tenaha and stripped of cash, valuables, and, in at least one case, an infant child, without clear evidence of contraband."—Sarah Stillman: The Use and Abuse of Civil Forfeiture : The New Yorker (via iamdanw)
SM: Couriers do not necessarily know each other or you directly and Feral Trade constitutes a chance to become part of a permanently expanding network. What"s interesting though, is the contingent nature of the network itself. During their brief meetings, couriers get to know each other while swapping their roles, shifting from the receiver of the object to its giver. Yet, the only thing they have in common might be exactly the transiting object, positioned in between the two of them. Are the dynamics of these odd encounters something you are interested in?
KR: The network is more like permanently drifting than expanding.
Couriers come and go, some take on frequent and huge loads, others are intermittent, but the network has settled in at its own scale. It flies in the face of for example facebook's proposition that social networks can just scale up indefinitely.
I thought about it recently as a normal courier system, like DHL, but
without any actual infrastructure. So no wages, uniforms, fleet, schedules, forms to fill out (other than the online courier report which is entirely voluntary and subjective), warehouses, scripts or protocols, aside from normal social ones. When two couriers meet on a street corner to hand over a travelling product, all you are left with is the social transaction. Which despite being the essence of the whole process is essentially out of the trader's field of vision and control.
I'd also like to point out it's fundamentally different to drug running networks! – everyone seems to want to flag that comparison up – which are primarily coercive and hierarchical. When you have a peer network and it's your own friends, colleagues, neighbours, bosses etc doing the running, it's impossible to structure in that degree of exploitation."—What's new with Kate Rich and Feral Trade

Finding: Strategic C4ISR requires high bandwidth to support today's net-centric warfare. Deployed forces are dependent upon bandwidth to disseminate large data and imagery files, conduct VTC's and collaborative planning with command personnel around the globe, and receive real-time intelligence information on the battlefield. Recent OEF/OIF/GWOT operations in the Central Region that were enabled by exponential increases in conventional bandwidth clearly demonstrated the value and feasibility of net-centric operations, but greater flexible response in providing bandwidth across all echelons of the GIG, especially at the tactical level, are needed in support of GWOT's current and probable missions.
Current Military Satellite (MILSAT) constellation does not have the capability to provide sufficient bandwidth to support strategic C4ISR requirements. MILSAT only provided approximately 20% of the C4ISR bandwidth required in support of OEF/OIF/GWOT missions. The remaining 80% had to be acquired from commercial sources."—

But the basic facts are plain enough. As well as five British prisons and the tags attached to over 8,000 English and Welsh offenders, Serco sees to two immigration removal centres, at Colnbrook near Heathrow, and Yarl's Wood in Bedfordshire. You'll also see its logo on the Docklands Light Railway and Woolwich ferry, and is a partner in both Liverpool's Merseyrail network, and the Northern Rail franchise, which sees to trains that run in a huge area between the North Midlands and English-Scottish border.
Serco runs school inspections in parts of England, speed cameras all over the UK, and the National Nuclear Laboratory, based at the Sellafield site in Cumbria. It also holds the contracts for the management of the UK's ballistic missile early warning system on the Yorkshire moors, the running of the Manchester Aquatics Centre, and London's "Boris bikes".
As evidenced by the story of how it handled out-of-hours care in Cornwall, it is also an increasingly big player in a health service that is being privatised at speed, in the face of surprisingly little public opposition: among its array of NHS contracts is a new role seeing to "community health services" in Suffolk, which involves 1,030 employees. The company is also set to bid for an even bigger healthcare contract in Cambridgeshire and Peterborough: the NHS's single-biggest privatisation – or, if you prefer, "outsourcing" – to date, which could be worth over £1bn.
But even this is only a fraction of the story. Among their scores of roles across the planet, Serco is responsible for air traffic control in the United Arab Emirates, parking-meter services in Chicago, driving tests in Ontario, and an immigration detention centre on Christmas Island, run on behalf of those well-known friends of overseas visitors the Australian government."—Serco: the company that is running Britain
Whose future, and in whose name? I'm thinking about Joel Dinerstein's writings on 'techno-fundamentalism' and 'technology as White mythology' here, certainly. But also about that particularly futuristy tic of aspirational weirdness. As in, what we want out of the future is not that it's better or more comfortable or less ecologically destructive or more equitable or more just. What we want out of the future is that it's weird, please let it be weird. Where does this come from? Is it a particularly classed, gendered, even racinated (?) thing?
Does aspirational weirdness assume the same kind of techtopianism as Clarke, where all the inequalities and injustices of today will somehow get vectorised and smoothed over? Or is it that these struggles frankly not on the radar for folks who aspire to—long for—weirdness? And now I'm wondering, how do you arrive at a praxical synthesis of weirdness and social justice? (Because undoubtedly, there's something enticing and seductive about «weirdness» for me too.) I want to emphasise the praxical, because it's all too easy to arrive at something that feels fresh, directional, transformative, but never manages to transcend the realm of aesthetics, especially with regards to ethnifuturisms."—aspirational weirdness
It reminds me of the "bike to work" movement. That is also portrayed as white, but in my city more than half of the people on bike are not white. I was once talking to a white activist who was photographing "bike commuters" and had only pictures of white people with the occasional "black professional" I asked her why she didn't photograph the delivery people, construction workers etc. … ie. the black and Hispanic and Asian people… and she mumbled something about trying to "improve the image of biking" then admitted that she didn't really see them as part of the "green movement" since they "probably have no choice" –

But the paradox concerning technological development, is that the more advance technologies become, the further we may distance ourselves from it. There are two problematics associated with it: firstly machine became abstract knowledge, what presents to the workers is an interface of control, the know-how is reduced to pressing a button, feeding machine with raw materials; secondly the mechanisation of all artisan skills, create a tendency of diskilling among workers, since automation replaces man's position as a technical individual. Industrialisation amplifies this effect. On one hand, the concretization of technical objects as technical individuals joins hand in hand with abstractions of labour and knowledges, a button or a control panel hided away large amount of practical knowledge and social relations. On the other hand, the exchange between labour and capital bring labours in the the endless circle of capital reproduction. This is what Simondon understands as proletarianisation and alienation through his reading of Marx, that somehow bypasses the question of properties. Be careful here, I am not suggesting that one should avoid abstraction and reduction; not at all, abstraction and reductions are necessary in many aspects, but the question is rather what kind of reductions and abstractions: one that favours individuation or one that produces disindividuation. For example, one can drive a car by knowing its speed, its limit, and one who dives by only knowing pressing which button, in both case we are dealing with different kind of abstractions. Today, Google and Facebook are doing the latter, we are used to press buttons, satisfy ourselves with the speed and convenience, without really understanding the problematics behind interfaces and its crowdsourcing algorithms.

Drones are loci of power. When we consider a drone, usually what we think of is warfare, surveillance, or some combination of both. Warfare and surveillance are both ways in which power is exercised, and historically that power has been characterized as state power, though with the rise of corporations and NGOs that's no longer reliably the case. But drones kill, and drones watch, and there's power in that, and I can think of very few things to write about more interesting than power (or the absence of it).
I think most of us are writing about power most of the time. Regardless of what we're actually trying to discuss or what stories we're trying to tell."—So what the hell is with all the drones, anyway?
What separates the apparently conviction-lacking students of the first anecdote from the militantly radicalized students of the third? Both were given a healthy dose of leftist criticism, yet the Weathermen ended up declaring war while the moviegoers were beguiled by neoliberal propaganda. Why were Mark Stern's students were so taken in by Waiting for Superman? If his students were convinced of school reform's fundamental injustice, why were they still moved by the film?
In his reflections on the incident, Stern rejects the hypothesis that his students cynically parroted what they were taught without accepting it to get a good grade as well as the even more cynical possibility that they embraced the criticism of neoliberalism only to absolve themselves of the guilt of benefiting from it. Rather, Stern concludes that the students crying in the theater were crying for help. They were not moved by the film's heroes; they saw through them and cried instead out of hopeless despair and longing for a true utopian vision."—Beyond Belief - The New Inquiry

This isn't a relationship, but the drone stayed the night after fucking me, humming in the air right over my bed as I slept, and it was there when I woke up. I asked it what it wanted and it drifted toward the kitchen, so I made us some eggs which of course only I could eat.
It was something about the way it was looking at me. I just started yelling, throwing things.
Fighting with a drone is like fucking a drone in reverse. It's all me. The drone just dodges, occasionally catches projectiles at an angle that bounces them back at me, and this might amount to throwing. All drones carry two AGM-114 Hellfire missiles, neatly resized as needed, because all drones are collections of every assumption we've ever made about them, but a drone has never fired a missile at anyone they were fucking.
This is no-stakes fighting. I'm not even sure what I'm yelling about. After a while the drone drifts out the window. I cry and scream for it to call me. I order a pizza and spend the rest of the day in bed.
Here's what you're going to do. You're not going to ask too many questions. You're just going to let it happen. You'll never know whose eyes are behind the blank no-eyes that see everything. There might not be any anymore; drones regularly display what we perceive as autonomy. In all our concepts of droneness there is hardly ever a human being on the other end. So there's really no one to direct the questions to."—

"There are two reasons why we frighten people," says Schumacher, popping a chocolate biscuit into her mouth. "The first thing is that we're a feminist, female group with no men connected to it, and the second is that we don't have leaders.

The Northwest is the birthplace of SCA and since our first volunteers arrived at Grand Teton and Olympic National Parks in 1957, the region has remained one of SCA's most vibrant and vital.
Locally-developed initiatives addressing area-specific needs include our SCA's NPS Academy workforce development program with the National Park Service, the SCA-AmeriCorps Salmon-Challis National Forest Training Center, and Base-to-Basecamp initiative for dependents of military families at Joint Base Lewis-McChord. Our SCA Seattle program provides hundreds of under-served city youth with connections to nature and pathways to careers. And the nearby parks and forests – Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie, Olympic, Mount Rainier, North Cascades – all boast substantial numbers of SCA alumni on their staffs, a testament to the caliber of our members and the commitment of our area partners.

2013 Youth Outcomes:
- 565 youth served in the Northwest Region
- 141,548 total hours served
