What Clarence Thomas' Wife Should Be Saying To Anita HillSierra Black
Clarence Thomas' wife needs a lesson in manners. Instead of asking Anita Hill to apologize for speaking out about sexual harassment during his Supreme Court confirmation hearings 20 years ago, Mrs. Thomas should be writing Professor Hill a thank-you letter.
That's what we do when someone gives us a gift. Anita Hill gave all of us a gift when she risked her career and reputation to make sexual harassment front page news.
Thank you notes have been heading the way of the engraved invitation for awhile now. I'm more likely to shoot someone a friendly e-mail than jot out a written card. I've passed my sloppy manners on to my kids. They are effusive with praise in the moment, but I've never had the patience or organizational skills to sit down with them and write out thank you cards after birthday parties. Even though I know I should.
It's never too late to say Thank You, though, just like it's never to late to say you're sorry. While Mrs. Thomas (hopefully) figures out how to word the apology she clearly owes Professor Hill, she might also consider thanking her.
Here's a nice example of the letters we might all want to write to Dr. Hill now, written by a friend of mine:
Dear Professor Hill,
Reading the NYT piece about Virginia Thomas's recent phone call
reminded me of something I wish I'd done sooner, which is to deeply
thank you for your testimony during Clarence Thomas's confirmation
At the time, I was a sophomore in high school, and the notion of
sexual harassment was largely theoretical to me, but soon after, I
experienced it first-hand, and your courage and conviction gave me the
validation that I needed to know that my experience was not only one
that was shared by many women, but was worth objecting to and working
to stop. I wished then that I could thank you for taking that
difficult path and thereby making mine easier, and I'm sorry I've
waited so long to finally do so.
Your efforts changed my life for the better, and I thank you for it.
I'm a few years younger: Anita Hill's testimony was vaguely on my radar as a 12-year-old kid, but I wasn't quite following political news yet.
By the time sexual harassment mattered to me personally, I'd had the privilege of growing up in a world where everyone knew the term. It was still hard to tell my colleagues at my first job to back off when they teased me with sexual jokes, but it was possible. I knew and they knew that HR would have my back on this one. My heartfelt thanks go out to Anita Hill for that as well.

Small Business Saturday 2012
Posted By Jim On 11/14/2012 @ 7:29 am In Personal Finance | 2 Comments
American Express did it last year and they're bringing it back this year — Small Business Saturday. On November 24th, 2012, spend $25 at a small business and get a $25 statement credit on your American Express card. This year, it'll be on any American Express card and you can use multiple cards to get the statement credit multiple times. I think they make this push because a lot of smaller merchants don't like American Express [3] because of their higher fees but also just for good PR. Their pain is your gain.
As was the case last year, you'll need to register your card(s) but the statement credit appears pretty quick and it's a great way to save $25 at a local business. Enrollment begins November 18th, so you have a few days, and it's limited so be sure to get to their site that day to get in on the deal.
Last year, I took advantage of this deal and ate like a king at a local Pho place.

Dell Entrepreneur Spotlight Series: Freddie Talberg
Topics:Business Entrepreneurship Perspectives
Some of the most compelling businesses today are those formed to exploit a gap in the market. Many a successful enterprise was born by creating something that fills a need, and Freddie Talberg's mapping business, PIE Mapping, is no exception to the rule.
On discovering the lack of maps available for London motorbikers, Talberg's business began as an evening hobby, but rapidly went from strength to strength, and was responsible for helping to keep London moving during the London 2012 Olympics — no mean feat!
In between running his market-leading mapping company, Talberg also finds time to support other entrepreneurs as a member of the Dell U.K. Centre for Entrepreneurs Advisory Council.
I caught up with Talberg to hear his thoughts on the challenges of growing a business.
How did the idea for PIE Mapping come about?
It was only meant to be a part-time project. I had noticed the lack of motorbike maps for London, so started work on the first-ever paper map. From that, I learnt how to create maps, including managing the data to build them, and the project kept growing until I was spending my evenings processing orders.
We soon discovered we had legal protection over our maps, particularly the data, and, most importantly, were able to re-sell it to clients, giving the business a financial proposition. Following a deal with yell.com, we grew our data collection to such an extent that we were commissioned to map the disability parking data in the capital, which led to another contract to map them for all 116 major cities in the U.K. We've continued growing from there.
How is PIE Mapping paving the way for better use of digital transport infrastructures?
When we made those first paper maps, it was pretty radical, as no one had mapped these areas before. The key was recognizing the different requirements certain users had. The U.K.'s A-Z paper maps were just too generic. As websites and portals grew, so too did the need for digital mapping requirements. The tipping point was location data, as that provides so much additional detail.
A few years ago, we were working with Camden council in London to create a London-wide mapping portal, but were struggling to get data from Transport for London (TFL) on its bus stops because of issues with its contractors. Thankfully, because of a push from numerous organizations, including PIE Mapping, for better access, location data is much more freely available for use in creating lots of different applications.
What excites you most about the move toward 'Smart Cities'?
The term "Smart Cities" is really about a huge bucket of capabilities to make urban living more efficient. It means making technology an intrinsic part of our urban lives, and that's something I'm fascinated by, and exciting to be a part of.
What was PIE Mapping's role at the London Olympics?
Ten months before the Opening Ceremony, the mayor of London, Boris Johnson, stated that the city could not afford for London to run out of beer. The Games' organizers had recognized they couldn't afford to be without a plan for keeping London operating during this period, so we were asked to work with TFL to build a journey planner to keep London moving.

Visit Adult Locals
They've added live webcams for premium members but to clarify, it's performers from a cam site not other members of Adult Locals online. The search feature does not allow you to search by zip code or postal code but the advanced options for paid subscriber at least let's you narrow it down to individual cities. Preview access is extremely limited but a quick perusal of the first ten pages of member descriptions as is available to non-paying members yields suspect results as far as whether the profiles listed are genuine. Therefore, the score remains noticeably low.
AdultLocals.com is the little engine that thinks it can, but it can't, at least not yet, get over the hill. The concept is great albeit not necessarily original. It is supposed to offer the chance to meet people who want sex only encounters living near you. Unfortunately the numbers just aren't there to make the odds high enough for grabbing real action. The site advertises over 100,000 members, but when one searches individual categories it's not obvious from where the total number comes, granted I didn't check all the countries listed. Maybe they were all hiding east of Guam or in Timbuktu?
You can search the members personals before plunking down a membership fee, which is a worthwhile plan to determine subscriber levels in your area. Isn't it ironic (a la Alanis M) that despite specifically advertising that it will get you sex in your local area, the search engine does not have a zip/postal code feature? If you're living in a metropolitan city, it's kind of important to know how many miles someone might be from your home. Another issue with the search are the categories gay, lesbian and bisexual, certainly not because they're offensive but merely because they don't appear to change the results whatsoever. You can't simply search under a sexual orientation, you have to include the gender that you are seeking and lo and behold the same list appears whether you are "a man looking for a woman" or "a man looking for a lesbian woman" or "a man looking for a bisexual woman." It reeks of cheap to include non-working, decorative features on a site, which is unfortunate on a small service that gives almost nothing away for free.
There are no quick contact features like chat or instant messaging available as far. You have to sign up to "flirt" with fellow members, although you can send a message through the in-house email system. Until you join the premium ranks you can't read any messages received, but you can see the profile of the person who sent you the message at least.
At a pretty standard cost of $24.95, unless I found a member very much to my liking before joining and was feeling very sure that said member was likely to reciprocate (since no free contact makes it difficult to know), I might be tempted to go to a larger competitor.
Visit Adult Locals since you never know where you might get lucky.
* Please include a pro and a con about the site. Balance is essential in making a comment worthwhile. Scores without comments will be deleted.
* Watch out for ratings of zero and 100. In our opinion, there is no such thing as a site that is absolutely perfect or completely worthless.

LOS ANGELES -- We've all heard the jokes about Taylor Swift and her boy troubles, but one Hollywood dad wants the singer to stay away from his son.
Taylor Swift has reportedly had her eye on Michael J. Fox's son, Sam Fox, but the protective Dad doesn't want his boy on any future country tunes.

Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler and his girlfriend checked themselves into rehab this afternoon.
The two went to Las Encinas Hospital Drug Rehabilitation Clinic, which is the same place where Dr. Drew treats his patients from Celebrity Rehab on VH1.
This isn't the first time the rocker has gone to rehab for drug problems. In a previous interview he said, "Of course, I did way too many drugs. I sunk to my knees and lost everything."
Steven actually looks pretty good for doing dugs for so long. It is hard to believe that he is 60 years old.
It's a good time for Steven to clean up. Since his daughter Liv Tyler is getting divorced, he should probably try and spend more Grandpa time with little Milo instead of spending time doing whatever brought him to rehab.

Here's a deep philosophical concept to ponder: Mean people suck.
But are you going to let them stop you from getting fit?
I'm talking about the problem many overweight women have with going to a gym. They feel incredibly self-conscious in health clubs that appear to be overstocked with glistening, physically perfect specimens of manhood and womankind. They sense they're being watched, judged, and deemed unworthy. They simply can't relax and just work out.
If that describes you, I completely understand your fear. But I also believe that most gyms are much less hostile than you might think.
If you're self-conscious about joining a health club, here are some strategies that could help–and the most important is choosing the right facility in the first place.
Know what you're getting into
Investigate thoroughly before joining any club. Every gym has its own personality, and I recommend that anyone seeking membership check out at least three or four facilities before making a decision. (For one thing, this will allow you to get a better price: you can find out which gyms are having the best specials, then play them against each other to encourage your sales rep to sweeten the deal.)
On the day or days you'll be checking out the gyms, wear something that makes you feel confident: that blouse everyone says is a great color for you, your favorite jeans, those shoes that make you feel like a million bucks.
Visit gyms during the time of day you're most likely to work out: the crowd at 6 a.m. will probably be very different from the after-work bunch.
If you're especially susceptible to sales pressure, take a friend along for moral support. And rehearse your lines before you go: "I'll be making a decision within a few weeks, but today I just want to learn as much as possible about your facility."
Walk around each gym with an open mind. What kind of people do you see? What age groups? What's their fitness level? A gym whose members come in all ages, shapes, and sizes is likely to be a more laid-back place than one that caters to elite athletes.
How does the gym feel? Yes, I know you're intimidated just being there, but try to pick up on the vibe. Are the people at the front desk warm and friendly? Are employees smiling? Do the customers look like people you could get to know?
What kinds of classes are offered? Are they primarily for ninjas, or is there a range for people of all ages and fitness levels?
What kinds of qualifications do the trainers have? This is a tricky topic because many gyms will hire just about any warm body, send her on a weekend course, and call her a trainer. The best gyms will have at least a few trainers with credentials from NSCA, ACSM, NASM, or ACE, to name a few of the best certifying organizations.
And while you're gym shopping, don't forget the good old YMCA. Its facilities are often among the friendliest, most inclusive health clubs around.
Put your best foot forward
Let's say you've summoned your courage and begun a gym membership. The first couple of visits will be the most difficult, until you learn your way around and start to feel like you belong.
If you need some new gym togs, this is a great time to shop. It's amazing how a few new tops and bottoms can get you psyched up.
Don't forget to put on some confidence too. You know the saying "fake it till you make it"? It's great advice here. You'll be nervous inside, but work on walking tall and reminding yourself that you have a right to be there.
It may feel like people are staring—and sure, it's possible that your new gym has a jerk or two among its members. But the most likely scenario is that the majority of people aren't paying you a whole lot of attention. It's also likely that others there have noticed you're new and are silently cheering you on. Honestly.
In order to ease into your membership, talk to the staff about the least busy times at the club. Those might be the most comfy times for you to work out until you gain confidence.
Don't be afraid to ask the staff to demonstrate how the machines work. And consider hiring a trainer for at least a few sessions so that you can get accustomed to the major pieces of equipment.
Think about joining a group class right away. After a session or two, you'll start making friends and feeling more at home in the club.
Challenge your self-talk
Joining a gym may have been a major step outside your comfort zone. Of course, that's where all the possibilities for growth are!
When you find yourself jumping back on your hamster wheel of negative thoughts, try to catch yourself and recognize that they're just, well, thoughts. You know—stuff like "That guy is staring at me. He probably doesn't think I belong here. I shouldn't have worn these tights—they make my butt look big. That size 2 woman looks really snooty . . ."
In fact, you don't really know what's going on in other people's heads. And even if you did, would it matter? Maybe the snooty-looking buff woman in the corner had a really horrible day. Maybe the guy who looked at you was thinking about how much you remind him of his cousin. And even if your tights do make your butt look big, who cares? Do you really think anyone is going to remember that for more than two seconds?
Your thoughts aren't reality. And you can talk back to them. Keep reminding yourself that yes, you do belong there. Combat negative thoughts by remembering every small victory: the day you added five minutes on the elliptical trainer or 10 pounds on the leg press; that tired but proud feeling you had after spin class last week; the fact that you've joined a gym at all.
If you're willing to take the risk of joining a good health club, I guarantee you're going to believe it was worth it. A few months from now, you can be the friendly face welcoming a shy new member to your favorite gym.

COLUMBIA COUNTY, Fla. - Two teens were transported to the hospital after the four-wheeler they were riding crashed in Columbia County Sunday night.
According to the Florida Highway Patrol, around 8 p.m. three girls were riding on a four-wheeler, heading north on Northwest Crawford Court in White Springs.
15-year-old Julia Flannagan was driving the four-wheeler and pulled the wheel too hard to the left in an attempt to avoid a collision with the unknown vehicle, traveling south on Northwest Crawford Court.
The four-wheeler traveled into the ditch and Flannagan and passenger, 14-year-old Lindsey Fullard were ejected from the four-wheeler.
11-year-old Kirsten Thomas was also on board the four-wheeler.
Both the Flannagan and Fullard were transported to Shands UF at Gainesville for precautionary measures due to complaints of numbness, according to FHP. Troopers report the girls were in serious condition.
FHP said none of the girls were wearing seatbelts or helmets on the four-wheeler.

SEATTLE -- Washington women's tennis was left out of the NCAA Tournament with the announcement of the field on Tuesday. The Dawgs (13-9) were very much a bubble team, but were snubbed by the NCAA committee. Washington was ranked 42nd in the most recent ITA poll, which was the highest ranking of any team not selected.
"It is very disappointing," said head coach Jill Hultquist. "I think not playing a conference team championships hurt us because we didn't have a chance to pick up those extra wins at the end of the year."
"Some of the ranked teams that we have beaten have struggled recently and fallen in the polls. When I look at our season, I think our worst loss was at Utah and they were a ranked team playing on their home court at altitude. I am proud of our girls; we just didn't have the best luck the way things went."
The NCAA snub came on the heels of a historic feat from the Washington women at the Pac-12 Championships. Freshman Grace Ysidora and sophomore Natali Coronel became the first Husky women to win a conference title of any kind.
The Husky doubles team captured the Invitational Pac-12 title, winning four matches in the three days. Previously, four Washington doubles teams had made the final of the Invitational final, but Ysidora and Coronel captured the program's first-ever conference title.
"Getting better in doubles was a goal of mine at the beginning of the season," said Hultquist. "It's funny because when I put Grace and Natali together I wasn't sure about it because they are both so quiet. They worked really hard and have really grown to where they have such great chemistry."
The youth of the UW doubles team is a theme that goes throughout the team. The Dawgs have just one junior in Andjela Nemcevic, otherwise it a team of only freshmen and sophomores. This means that a team on the verge of an NCAA berth in 2013 will be back with all of its parts for a run in 2014.
The Dawgs showed tremendous depth in 2013 with two players splitting time at No. 1 singles, but being particularly strong towards the middle and the back of their lineup. Julija Lukac led the Huskies in wins during dual matches with a 15-7 record playing mostly at No. 4.
"They injury to Capucine Gregoire hurt us, but Natali and Riko Shimizu have really stepped up to solidify our team," said Hultquist.
Shimizu also teamed with Elianne Doulas-Miron to form the Dawgs No. 1 doubles team through the dual season. Yet another young pairing of a freshman and sophomore earned a national ranking in doubles that at the last poll was No. 60 in the nation.
"When I talked to the team, they were disappointed to not get selected to the tournament," said Hultquist. "More than anything, though, I think they are excited to get back to work for next season."

As many of you may have noticed, I haven't been around DA much in the last couple of months. That "real life" thing has been demanding my time - family, business, and whatnot. Darn that whatnot!!! So the way things have gone this is probably my "year end update".
For those who've been featuring my art off-site at places like Facebook, PLEASE be sure to do the following. First, if you're hosting the art elsewhere be sure to include the full credits list that I've included here. There are a number of talented and generous folks out there sharing their art assets for free. All they ask in exchange is that credit. It's part of my "contract" with them, so please be sure to include any/all relevant credits.
Second, if you'd like to host the work off site, please ask me first. Let me know where you'd like to host it and which pieces. I'm usually fine with folks doing this, but asking permission is both the safest and most courteous option. Thanks for your help on both these points… and thanks for supporting my work!
I just turned in the cover art for the first two Star Trek: Seekers books. I'm not sure when I can roll out the imagery here? The books will be released next July and August. I'm hoping to be able to display the work in public before that time, but I'll need to double check with the publisher on timing. Meanwhile I can tell you that cover 1 features the USS Sagittarius with modeling support from Mark Azevedo and Fabio Passaro. Cover 2 continues the story with the USS Endeavour and uses model support from Georg Angelakis and David Metlesits. Both books are now available for pre-order in print and Kindle editions from Amazon (sans cover preview at this point):
SEEKERS 1: www.amazon.com/Star-Trek-Seeke…
SEEKERS 2: www.amazon.com/Star-Trek-Seeke…
I think my next cover job may be for the e-book sequel, of sorts, to "To Kindle the Unknown" (www.amazon.com/Kindle-Denham-B…). Stay tuned for more details as I get 'em. But for now it looks like a clean, fairly stressless slide into the holidays. With luck I'll be here more often in the coming months.
'Til next time, Happy Holidays and I leave you with… well, the true reason that the Internet was created - so that we could all share in videos of a cat in a shark suit riding on Roomba with duckling accessory and dog dressed as hammerhead. In my world that can also double as the true meaning of Christmas: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Of2HU3…

Thanks for sharing your work with us, shame UK Amazon doesnt show the art work!!
Im staying tuned to your channel
Runemaster says, "SO...a cat, a dog and a duck walk into a bar..."
I laughed so hard at the video, I almost had an asthma attack. Of course, Runemaster's comment didn't help.
Can't wait for the books in print. I don't have anything to read the digital stuff on. But, I am hoping to be able to buy print versions of all of the books mentioned in this journal post.
I just have to say "cat on a roomba" to my wife and she breaks into giggle fits now
Well sir - have a great 2014 and a brilliant Christmas
Wow, that cat looks a lot like mine! (See my current avatar, and the pic in my gallery labeled "Prowlin' ".) I doubt that I could ever get mine stuffed into a shark suit, of course.
Is it just me, or do the cat and dog both look like they're plotting revenge against you? "Sure, film us like this now, but just you wait and see how we're getting back at you later..." Come to think of it, cats always have that look.
They do seem to have an oddly calculated agenda behind their eyes, don't they.
Not to mention the duckling.... surely the true puppet-master of the trio!

Should I be 100 percent 6.5 weeks post c section?
I am close to 7 weeks post partum and had my baby via c-section. I am still extremely tired, weak, and very achy (like the flu). I saw my OB a few weeks ago and I think he thinks I am a wimp. I have been into my primary care Dr. and she did some blood work and said that it doesn't look like I have an infection (thank heavens). . I am also still spotting every day. Has anyone else had this problem?

You have a newborn and you had major surgery, AND on top of that for the last 9 months you have been host to a growing organism who helped himself to your nutritional reserves. I would be surprised if you didn't feel tired, weak and achy. I had 2 by c/s and 1 vbac. Although I tried to put on a happy brave face, I remember being tired and in pain and overwhelmed for a LONG time. By comparison I jumped up and was back to normal within a few days after my vaginal baby. C/s takes a lot of out of you. It's major abdominal surgery.posted 06/28/2012 by haleysmom1

This movie should have been here from the moment I saw it, but for some reason that I couldn't express at the time, I left it off the list completely. I have now seen this movie over 5 times and for the first 4 viewings, it still teetered on the edge between being my all-time favorite and moving down completely in rank to the Nearly Perfect.
The reason is that there are two drifter characters in it that bothered me the first couple of times, and I think it was just their performances rather than the material that did it. I can now say that I have accepted them in some way and it no longer detracts from an otherwise very special movie. The movie hits so many emotional buttons for me, more with each viewing. The last time I watched it, the last 40 minutes was through the blur of tears. There is also a scene, that for any musician who appreciates the visual and audio synergy, will absolutely blow you away.
The Men Who Stare at Goats
Sometimes I wish that I didn't read the book before watching the movie. I know that everyone says that the book is usually better than the movie, but it doesn't bother me when a movie can't fit an entire book into a 2 hour movie as long as it honors the spirit of the book and attempts to do it proudly. In this case, I wonder whether it would have mattered.
When a movie cherry-picks the way this one did and removes most of the characters in favor of some odd romp through the desert, I begin to take offense at the fact that the producers have no respect for either the original work or the audience. What is even more hard to take is that when I enjoy previous works from the producers of the movie, Clooney in particular, I let my guard down. Sure, he was Batman in the worst of all Batman movies, but it wasn't him calling the shots. Here he has no excuse. To me, he fell in love with a single character and that is what the story ultimately was written about.
If they honored the book, the audience would have been both amused and repulsed at the same time at the notion of how a simple and innocent idea can be so horribly perverted. Instead, we got on goofy quirk after another. I'd write more but suffice it to say that it is really a shame to let such good original journalism go to waste.

Published in Company Comment on 23 August 2012
What you need to know about the mining group's top executives.
Management can make all the difference to a company's success and thus its share price.
The best companies are those run by talented and experienced leaders with strong vested interests in the success of the business, held in check by a board with sound financial and business acumen. Some of the worst investments to hold are those run by executives collecting fat rewards as the underlying business goes to pot.
In this series, I'm assessing the boardrooms of companies within the FTSE 100 (UKX). I hope to separate the management teams that are worth following from those that are not. Today I am looking at Xstrata (LSE: XTA), the mining group subject to an agreed bid from Glencore (LSE: GLEN).
Here are the key directors:
Sir John Bond rose through the ranks to become CEO at HSBC (LSE: HSBA) (NYSE: HBC.US) in 1993 and chairman from 1998 until 2006. That was a time of rapid expansion by the bank, including its disastrous foray into US sub-prime lending.
He was then chairman of Vodafone (LSE: VOD) (NYSE: VOD.US) in 2006, departing in 2011 soon after the Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan criticised the company's 'disastrous' acquisition record.
He became chairman of Xstrata in May 2011, replacing Willy Strothotte who was also chairman of Glencore. His appointment was seen as guaranteeing that Xstrata shareholders would get fair value if 34% shareholder Glencore made an approach.
In the event, Xstrata's largest independent shareholder is holding out for better terms than were accepted by the board, and Sir John is the prospective chairman of the combined group.
Mick Davis became CEO when Xstrata floated in 2002, having previously been CFO of Billiton. He was an architect of its merger with BHP (LSE: BLT) but left when he did not get the top job. He then built up Xstrata through a series of acquisitions, making unsuccessful tilts at Anglo-American (LSE: AAL) and the now struggling Lonmin (LSE: LMI).
The FTSE's highest-paid director in 2011, Mr Davis has been criticised for the planned retention payments which Xstrata would pay top management under its deal with Glencore, which initially were not at all performance related.
Trevor Reid became finance director in 2002 and was the FTSE's highest-paid FD in 2009. His background is in banking and corporate finance, presumably more appropriate for Xstrata's deal-making than for counting beans.
Santiago Zaldumbide, who runs Xstrata zinc, was formerly with Rio Tinto (LSE: RIO), Repsol and Banesto.
Xstrata's nine non-execs include three Glencore representatives, meaning that the chairman hold the balance of power between the independent non-execs and the Xstrata/Glencore camp.
I analyse management teams from five different angles. Here's my assessment:
Overall Xstrata scores 12 out of 25, an equally poor result to Glencore's. A highly acquisitive growth strategy has arguably benefited management more than investors.
I've collated all my FTSE 100 boardroom verdicts on this summary page. I hope it helps with your research.
Let me finish by adding that legendary investor Warren Buffett has always looked for impressive management teams when pinpointing which shares to buy. So I think it's important to tell you that the billionaire stock-picker has acquired a substantial stake in a prominent FTSE 100 company.
A special free report from The Motley Fool -- "The One UK Share Warren Buffett Loves" -- explains Mr Buffett's purchase and investing logic in full.
Mr Buffett, don't forget, rarely invests outside his native United States, which to my mind makes this British blue chip -- and its management -- all the more attractive. So why not download the report today? It's totally free and comes with no further obligation.

The Army will remain capable through its planned drawdown of 80,000 soldiers and at least eight brigade combat teams, its chief of staff said.
Gen. Raymond T. Odierno told reporters during a Pentagon news briefing Jan. 27 that he is comfortable with the cut in end strength because it reflects changing national security needs, and will be spread over six years.
"An Army of 490,000 in 2017 will be fundamentally different and more capable than the Army of 482,000 that we had in 2001," he said, noting that today's troops are combat-seasoned from 10 years of war.
The drop from the current 570,000 soldiers is planned as part of the Defense Department's long-term budget process, and in coordination with President Barack Obama's 10-year military strategy released earlier this month.
After five years of growing the Army to meet combat needs in Iraq and Afghanistan, Odierno said "the time is strategically right" to reduce end strength, especially since the strategy does not call for planning for large-scale ground wars.
"This will be done in a responsible and controlled manner," he told reporters. "[Army] Secretary [John] McHugh and I are committed to walking down this hill at the ready, rather than running our nation's Army off a cliff."
Odierno called the process leading up to the strategy and budget proposal "unprecedented" in its collaboration with the services. The Army's "Number 1" priority of fighting and winning wars is "non-negotiable," he said, "but that's not the only role of the Army," which provides a range of capabilities to joint forces.
Under the proposed budget, the Army would increase funding for special operations, cyber and aviation, while maintaining its reliance on a fully operational reserve, Odierno said. It will maintain readiness across its entire force to avoid "tiered readiness," he said.
The Army will prioritize its presence in the Asia-Pacific region, which is home to seven of the world's 10 largest armies, the he said, and continue to focus on the Middle East, while maintaining only a "small footprint" in Latin America and Africa.
At the same time, the Army will pull two heavy brigade combat teams out of Europe – one in 2013, and the other in 2014 – as part of a drawdown of at least eight brigade combat teams, Odierno said.
The two European-based teams will be replaced with rotating training units, which likely will be battalions and companies, he said.
The change "will benefit all of us," allowing for a better diversification of forces for NATO training, he said.
Adding, "I really see this as a model for how we'll do things in the future."
A focus of the new military strategy is to maintain and build international partnerships for military collaboration, but, Odierno noted, "I still think we're going to have plenty of capacity to lead with boots on the ground."
The Army will save money by eliminating redundancies and trimming its headquarters budget, he said.
Also, Pentagon leaders will discuss with Congress the possibility of two more rounds of the Base Realignment and Closure process, he said, although the Army likely would be less affected because it has undergone heavy BRAC closures already.
The Army must curtail the rate of growth in personnel costs, Odierno said, but is not planning for pay cuts. And, most troop reductions will be done through attrition, he said.
Odierno, who previously headed U.S. Joint Forces Command, rejected suggestions that the Army is being looked at disproportionately for budget savings.
"This is not about winners and losers," Odierno said. "It's about coming up with the right joint force." (AFPS)

WATURBURY, Conn. — A Waterbury man faces charges including animal cruelty after police say he threw an exotic bird at a police officer.
Luis Santana was spotted holding the bird while running on High Street Tuesday night. Police said they'd been called to the scene to break up a fight.
When an officer tried to stop and question him, Santana threw the cockatoo at the officer and ran into some woods.
The 32-year-old was found in a nearby house, after a homeowner reported someone had run into his basement.
Police say the bird, which didn't belong to Santana, wasn't harmed. It didn't talk to police. They tracked down the owner, who retrieved it Wednesday.
Santana was held on charges including animal cruelty, burglary, assaulting a police officer and disorderly conduct. It wasn't clear if he had hired an attorney.

I'm trying to parse C-style multi-line comments in my flex (.l) file:
%s ML_COMMENT
<ML_COMMENT>[.\n]+ { }
I'm not returning any token and my grammar (.y) doesn't address comments in any way.
When I run my executable, I get a parse error:
$ ./a.out
Parse error: parse error
$ echo "/* foo */" | ./a.out
Parse error: parse error
(My yyerror function does a printf("Parse error: %s\n"), which is where the first half of the redundant error message comes from).
I can see why the second example fails since the entirety of the input is a comment, and since comments are ignored by the grammar, there are no statements. Thus the input isn't a valid program. But the first part throws a parse error before I even finish the comment.
Also confusing:
$ ./a.out
/* foo */
a = b;
Parse error: parse error
In this case, the comment is closed prior to actual valid input (which, without the comment, parses just fine). The failure actually occurs after parsing "a", not after attempting to parse the assignment "a = b;". If I enter "a" on its own line, it still throws an error.
Given that the error message is a parser error and not a scanner error, is there something crucial I'm missing in my .y file? Or am I doing something wrong in my scanner rules that propagates over to the parser side?
EDIT: Per @Rudi's suggestion, I turned on debugging and found:
$ ./a.out
Starting parse
Entering state 0
Reading a token: /*
Next token is 44 (IDENTIFER)
Shifting token 44 (IDENTIFER), Entering state 4
Reducing via rule 5 (line 130), IDENTIFER -> identifier
state stack now 0
Entering state 5
I turned off debugging and found that
/* foo */ = bar; indeed parses the same as
foo = bar;. I'm using flex 2.5.4; it doesn't give me any warnings about the stateful rules I'm attempting to use.

Watching My Daughter Go Black Mobile
We no longer link to this site.
We no longer link to this site.
Race relations have come a long way in the past few decades, but many white fathers still dread the thought of their daughters fucking a black guy. They don't want to think of it, much less see it, but at Watching My Daughter Go Black Mobile, the dads are literally forced to face their worst fears.
There are 37 videos on WatchingMyDaughterGoBlackMobile and there's a real cutie with a taste for black cock in each of them. The vids also feature a father who doesn't want his little girl getting stuffed with a big, black dick. Unfortunately, the daddies don't have a choice and they find themselves watching as their daughters suck cock and get deep-dicked by a hung, ebony stud.
The scenes are all scripted and there's a little description for each one. Once you stumble upon one that sounds interesting, you can fire it up on your portable device of choice and enjoy the hot interracial action. The flicks look average when viewed on small screens.
They're pretty enthralling, so be sure to be mindful of where you're walking if you decide to take in a movie or two while you're out and about. We wouldn't want you walking in front of a bus because you were too focused on watching a petite, white babe struggle to fit a big, black dick in her little mouth.
There are no pictures here, but there are some on the standard version of the site. Luckily, your membership gives you access to both, so you can check out the images on a computer. Your membership also allows you to access 19 bonus sites and just about all of them are focused on interracial sex. You can check out mobile and standard versions of all the other Dogfart Network sites, including Blacks On Blondes Mobile, Interracial Pickups Mobile and Watching My Mom Go Black Mobile.
Watching My Daughter Go Black Mobile is only updating about once a month and it's a little pricey. It's a relatively small site too, so it definitely has some problems, but its scenes are awesome and often fairly lengthy. And given that almost all the bonuses are also focused on black-on-white porn, a membership to this network could be something you desire.
* Please include a pro and a con about the site. Balance is essential in making a comment worthwhile. Scores without comments will be deleted.
* Watch out for ratings of zero and 100. In our opinion, there is no such thing as a site that is absolutely perfect or completely worthless.

AUBURN, Ala. (AP) -- The Auburn-Mississippi State game has become about getting off to a good start in Southeastern Conference play.
It's one reason why Bulldogs coach Dan Mullen considers last year's victory over the Tigers as so significant personally.
The two teams face each other Saturday night in their mutual SEC opener for the sixth straight year. It's the 10th consecutive time Mississippi State has been the first SEC opponent for Auburn (2-0).
The Bulldogs (1-1) last season picked up Mullen's first win in 13 tries over an SEC West opponent other than Mississippi. He says that was one of his top wins as a head coach.
Mississippi State quarterback Tyler Russell is questionable after sustaining a concussion in the opener against Oklahoma State two weeks ago.

Park is very tight for a big rig. Severe speed bump at entry in the back row is capable of damaging your coach so careful not to make this turn until you check it out. Has considerable deferred maintenance on roadways. Check-in at dealership at receptionist, who also does about 5 or 6 other things to do for the dealership so be prepared to stand in line and then not really friendly. Do not blame her as she has other things to do and phones going off, than mess with us. Also, they need more help in all areas, including cleaning and maintenance throughout this park, particularly at the ridicules $33 a night. - fulltimer 2

Older park meaning that the streets are not adequate for maneuvering large units. Speed bumps approximately 100' apart throughout, one of which was so extreme we cracked our windshield crawling over it. Sites are 7' apart so we couldn't open our much needed awning as there is very little shade. Dumpster was located in the back corner at the end of a dead end street, really inconvenient. Dog park consisted of an open field but was free of soiled spots. Crowded at the time of our stay with mostly oilfield workers and extended stay units of all sizes and condition. Shower and laundry facility was adequate and maintained. Access from the interstate was good with Cabelas across the street. On-site camp host but he wasn't active and was bothered by my complaint about the speed bump. He wasn't available most of the time during our 4 day stay. Dealership provides good full service for most RV makes. We had recall work done at the shop and the attached park was more convenience than intentional. We would not stay here again. - wheels

This park is not in good shape. The roads, a combination of dirt, mud when it rains, and asphalt, are in bad shape and very narrow. The turns are sharp particularly for bigger rigs. The concrete pads are the narrowest I ever seen. Most of the residents are permanent types that look like they have been there a long time. The $33 nightly fee is way over priced, more so for the people that are using the park to get service gone on their rigs at the dealer that owns the park. Seems a $10 nightly fee would be appropriate for travelers getting service done. There is a huge Cabella's directly across the street and they have a sign there pointing to "RV parking". If you need a stop over I recommend Cabella's. Save the $33 for nicer parks. - Recon4

JC Penney Backs Out of Promise to Help Families of Workers Who Died in Factory Firecarolyncastiglia
You may recall that one week ago, clothing retailer JC Penney got the blogosphere all riled up with their printed tee for girls reading, "I'm too pretty to do homework so my brother has to do it for me." Chances are that t-shirt, which has since been pulled from stock, was made in Bangladesh, where in December 2010 "a tragic and preventable fire at a factory claimed the lives of 30 workers" who spent their days making clothes for seven American companies: Abercrombie & Fitch, GAP Inc. (parent company of Gap, Banana Republic and Old Navy), Target, Carters Inc. (owner of the brands Carters and Osh Kosh B'Gosh), the Phillips-Van Heusen Corporation (who make Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger), the VF Corporation (manufactures of The North Face and Wrangler and Lee jeans) and JC Penney, according to Change.org.
In January, all seven companies agreed to compensate the families of the workers who died in the fire — "a fire that could have been averted had the factory adhered to rigorous safety standards" — thanks to the efforts of Change.org members and the International Labor Rights Forum. Now, Change.org reports, JC Penney "has gone back on its promise to help — its team has walked away from the negotiating table."
According to Change.org, "The only reason JC Penney is walking away from negotiations now is that they think no one will notice. They got their good press by promising to help, and now they're breaking their word, free and clear. It's imperative that we show them — and the other six companies still negotiating — that if they don't follow through on their promise to fairly compensate the victims' families and improve their fire safety, there will be consequences."
This story hits home with me because I have purchased many clothing items for my daughter from both JC Penney and Target, but I don't want to support this kind of mistreatment of laborers abroad. If you care about this issue and want to send JC Penney a message, namely that Americans want affordable clothing for their children that doesn't insult our intelligence or kill foreign workers, sign this Change.org petition today, and spread the word.

May 24, 2016
A Georgia Senate candidate traveled to Valdosta Thursday morning to meet with citizens and answer questions.
Congressman Jack Kingston shook hands, talked about his past and discussed issues he is concerned with, including the state of the agricultural community in southern Georgia, helping small businesses and Moody Air Force Base.
Valdosta elected officials were also on-hand to meet with the congressman. Kingston says he disagrees with the Air Force's plan to get rid of the A-10.
"I've been pushing back on the Air Force's plan to discontinue the A-10 and we argue the case that there is nothing that can replace A-10 for low altitude, close range, and really the biggest advocates for the A-10 are the Marines and the Army," said Kingston.
Early voting begins April 28, with the primary on May 20.

What is the difference between soft toric contact lenses and hard toric contact lenses? How much do hard toric contact lenses monthly cost?
Written answer:
Hard toric contact lenses (normally made of gas permeable material) are at first usually more difficult to get used and adapt to. They move around more on the eye and are less stable. Sometimes however the vision is sharper in these lenses. They do not need to be replaced frequently, and may last you two years or more, so there is no need for a regular replacement scheme, but there is a scheme available to pay for your aftercare and contact lens solution. The choice between these and soft toric lenses will depend on your prescription and shape of your eye. By far the most popular are soft lenses. For the costs involved you need to ask in store.
We recommend you seek professional advice if you are concerned about your eye health:Book an appointment

- Conquering Cancer through the Convergence of Science and Engineering
- Leaders in Science and Engineering: The Women of MIT
- Computation and the Transformation of Practically Everything
- Earth, Air, Ocean and Space: The Future of Exploration
- Brains, Minds and Machines
During the spring of 2011, a series of symposia designed and developed by teams of MIT faculty explored issues and topics of interest to MIT's community of scholars, students, and staff.
Each symposium focused on large, synthetic questions, crossed multiple schools and departments, and undertook to be a significant, watershed moment in the intellectual history of its subject. The six symposia in no way covered the full range of research and activity on campus. Rather, as select examples, they epitomized the crossdisciplinary nature of MIT: economics and finance; integrative cancer research; women's leadership in science and engineering; the age of computation; exploration of earth, air, ocean, and space; and brains, minds, and machines.
We honored our past and imagined the future of MIT, its research, and its people. All symposia in the series were open to the public, taking place in Kresge Auditorium.

I have a single list item I wish to print.
I open the item and print it, but it shows me the item with the list as it appears on the screen. How can I print just the list item without the superfluous information?
Thanks for the feedback.
Hi Swader,
This is Jonis from Microsoft Online SharePoint Support.
There are a number of ways to resolve this, including creating list views. The most efficient way to manipulate data on a list, in order to remove the superficial information and only print the select list item, is by exporting the list to Excel. The following link details how to Export a SharePoint list to a spreadsheet.
If that does not answer your question please let me know as I will continue to monitor this thread for any additional posts or questions.
Thanks Jonis!
Actually I'm trying to re-create an ability which my users had with SharePoint Services 3.0. With that older system, we could open an item full-screen and be able to print it. We could even distinguish the frame so you didn't get the quick launch bar or the top header info on the print out as well. Most often our users would simply print that to PDF.
I was hoping to be able to do that in this version as well. I need an easy way for my users to print a single item; preferably as easy as selecting the item and clicking a print button.
With the single item open, if we could have a single-click export to Word or Excel, it would probably be little bother to then print to PDF or a printer.
Is that something I could do with SharePoint Designer: customize the single item view to export to Word or Excel?
I recommend that you use the print command in Internet Explorer or open the workbook in Excel and use the print features there, as suggested in this article.
If you decide to develop a custom print solution in SharePoint Designer, be aware that Microsoft does not support custom development. Microsoft allows custom development; we just ask that you support any custom solutions you create.
Thanks for your efforts. As I mentioned before, we wish to print a single item, as it appears when you view a single item; without the background of the list. It appears that functionality which existed in SharePoint Services 3.0 no longer exists in this new version.
Again thanks for your efforts, I will try to find some other way to meet my customers' needs.
Hello Jonis, This is not really a friendly way to print al list item. It is to many work and costs time. Is it possible to print an item directly either to email or to OneNote (my version sents a lot of extra unclear data). Please advice. It would help me a lot.
Best Regards Menno v L.
Go to advanced settings and select no for " Launch forms in a dialog? "(which is just an annoying default setting)
Open the list item (requires one field with link to item)
Use browser print tool

Some concealer looks like an orangey smear, no matter how much you blend. Others leave you with creepy white hollows around your eyes. Some slips, is too shiny, or weirdly luminescent. Point being: We don't take a great concealer lightly, and our latest discovery from Laura Mercier avoids all the conventional pitfalls.
For starters, it comes in twelve shades, so finding something that matches exactly isn't a problem. Secondly, it's billed as a product for professional makeup artists and that's probably because the texture is a little funny. It's thick and dry, so you really have to push to squeeze it from the tube, and when you do, the tiniest amount goes a long way. But once you tap it along your dark circles, you get full, opaque coverage that lasts the entire day. It's also blendable enough for stubborn age spots, plus it's spiked with honey, vitamin E and fruit acid—meaning that it leaves you with more than just a pretty face.

Death Threads
by Elizabeth Lynn Casey
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Very good "second in a series'. The combination of sewing and libraries works for me and I enjoyed the story.
Tori Sinclair is a relative "newcomer" to Sweetbriar, SC but as the head librarian and a member of the Sewing Circle, she is making friends quickly. When the husband of another of the sewing circle disappears, leaving behind a blood trail but no other hints, Tori gets to work to find out what happened, and why.
I will be reading more in this series.
Tori Sinclair, the new librarian in Sweet Briar, South Carolina, accompanies her friend Milo to a town event. While he lines up for the funnel cakes, she gets in line for the newspaper where she discovers that there is a story on page three that has the town rather upset. Colby Calhoun has written an article that revises the town's history. When his wife, the owner of the bakery, returns home one evening with Tori accompanying her, it appears that someone disliked him enough to do bodily harm when Colby is missing, and there is a trail of blood. Other threads in the story focus on people in the town, particularly in the sewing circle. I found the mystery in this one to be very predictable. I liked the project going on at the library to get new books in the hands of nursing home residents better than the mystery thread. Some of the recurring characters are likeable; others are irritating. Tori really had no good reason for involving herself in this investigation, but at least she had the sense to call the police chief to deal with it once she had solved it rather than endangering herself. I'm not in a hurry to read the next installment.
AUTHOR: Casey, Elizabeth Lynn
TITLE: Death Threads
Date Read: 07/21/13
GENRE/PUB DATE/PUBLISHER/# OF PGS: Mystery/2010/Berkley Prime Crime/276 pgs
SERIES/STAND ALONE: #2 Southern Sewing Circle
TIME/PLACE: Present, Sweet Briar/SC
CHARACTERS: Tori Sinclair/librarian
FIRST LINES: Tori Sinclair had always prided herself on being a relatively calm person - the kind of woman who kept a cool head & a professional demeanor at all times.
COMMENTS: Local author, Colby Calhoun, does some research on Sweet Briar that alters the town's past and has more than one resident in an uproar. When Colby disappears soon after, a bloody knife left in his bedroom points to murder. A nice little visit to the women of the Sweet Briar sewing circle-- the characters are the emphasis in this cozy series.
Well I will definitely be reading book one. I love the charm that the book portrays in the southern small town.
Tori (the new town librarian) seems to have a knack for being around when things go awry. But lucky for all around her she has a keen mind for solving the mystery.
When local author Colby Calhoun publishes some new facts about the small town (moonshining), people take offense and he disappears. Most citizens are not pleased about the new facts about the town and blame Colby. In the beginning they are not willing to look for him, but Tori won't give up trying to solve the mystery.
Surprisingly the "bunny lady" is the key to everything.
Tori Sinclair,Victoria for the elderly Southern ladies, is still settling in as the town librarian and with the help of the sewing circle she is making Sweet Briar her home. But when a news article upsets the townsfolk, she has a hard time seeing the attitude by these some women who embraced her when she was in trouble turn on one of their own.
The ladies realize their error when the author of the article disappears leaving a bloody trail and their friend is left with no answers and need for support.
This story was so fun, the southern ladies were a hoot, and the mystery had enough twists and turns to make it interesting until the end.

The Southern Sewing Circle mystery series continues.
Yankee librarian Tori Sinclair is basking in the warmth of her new circle of friends from South Carolina's Sweet Briar Ladies Society sewing circle. That is until local author Colby Calhoun reveals an unflattering secret about the town's historic past-and then disappears, leaving a bloody trail behind him. And when Tori begins to see a pattern of the townsfolk's age-old Southern pride standing in the way of justice, she knows it's time to unravel the mystery.
