Political Activism Takes Center Stage With The NEA -- Phyllis Schlafly July 21, 2004 column.
To no one's surprise, the annual National Education Association convention voted six-to-one (7,390 to 1,153), to endorse John Kerry for President.
The head of the NEA, Reg Weaver, opened the annual convention in July in Washington, DC with a call for public school teachers and employees to mobilize to defeat President Bush this fall. He said the union's political activism "takes center stage," and he predicted that "our 2.7 million members can be the X-factor in this election."
For the 2004 political campaign, the NEA will "partner" with the leftwing organizations MoveOn.org, ACORN (Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now), and the pro-Democratic Campaign for America's Future in order to achieve "the largest mobilization for education ever." Through a nationwide political strategy called "house parties" to be held on September 22, these activists will plan political rallies, register voters, meet with congressional candidates, and organize a get-out-the-vote program to cover teachers and parents.
John Kerry was to have been the convention's headline speaker, but he stood them up, choosing that very day to announce his choice of John Edwards as his running mate. The delegates were more than pleased with his replacement, Hillary Clinton, who was introduced as "one of our closest allies; she's so close, in fact, that she needs no further introduction."
Hillary brought the delegates to their feet with what the NEA's official newspaper called her "sharp wit," such as, "We are one day closer to the end of the Bush-Cheney Administration." Actually, she was just a warmup for a showing of Michael Moore's anti-Bush movie, "Fahrenheit 9/11," right after her speech.
The NEA's lobbying goals for next year's Congress include federal funding for public school child care, early childhood programs that are school-based, before- and after-school programs, big spending for school counselors, and school-based health care for children.
The NEA's non-education-related lobbying goals include funding for the National Endowment for the Arts, national health care, reparations to African Americans, statehood for the District of Columbia, taxpayer funding of federal elections, and a national holiday for Cesar Chavez. The NEA's foreign policy goals include ratification of the United Nations treaties on the Rights of the Child and on Discrimination against Women.
The NEA's feminist lobbying goals include "reproductive freedom without governmental intervention" (but, of course, with tax funding), affirmative action, assigning women to military combat, and the Equal Rights Amendment. The NEA's gay goals include a federal statute prohibiting employment discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation, income tax benefits for domestic partners, and hate crimes legislation.
The NEA opposes all varieties of school choice, tuition tax credits, vouchers, parental option or "choice" in education programs, designating English as our official language, and any possible action that might impinge on the secularists' notion of "separation of church and state."
The NEA again made its animosity against homeschoolers loud and clear. The resolution against homeschooling demanded that all instruction be given by teachers licensed by the state education licensure agency, and that the curriculum be approved by the state department of education. The NEA also took the position that homeschooled students should not be allowed to participate in any extracurricular activities in public schools (even though their parents pay the same school taxes that public school students' parents pay). Obviously, homeschooling is the only thing the powerful and wealthy NEA union fears.
The convention opened with an invocation by the president of the National Council of Urban Education Associations. A few delegates complained that his message sounded suspiciously like a reading from the Democratic Party platform.
Washington D.C. Mayor Anthony Williams was not on hand to welcome the delegates to the nation's capital because he supports school vouchers, a politically incorrect position for NEA speakers. The delegates were welcomed instead by U.S. Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton, who used her time at the podium to pitch for her legislation to give congressional representation to the District of Columbia.
The speakers voiced the usual complaints about a stingy Congress not appropriating enough money for education. In fact, federal spending on Title I (for low-income schools) has increased 51% from $8.8 billion in the Clinton administration to $13.3 billion this year.

Do you have a passion, but aren't sure how to start? Do you have days where you feel alone? Days when you think about the past a little too much? Days when you think about the future a little too much? Have you had people tell you you're too young, or too old to know what you're doing?
Ya me too! You are not alone! Thats the real secret isn't it. There are times that we get inside of our own heads and start to feel as though we are the only ones who have these and other thoughts. The only ones who wonder if the place we are at now is where we are suppose to be. Should we be doing something else, are we not doing enough in general with our lives? Do all the other apartments really look like Pinterest tell us they look? Absolutely not!!
The way to get out of this mindset of feeling alone is to realize that the mindset is a lie! If you are feeling this way more days than you aren't, here's the sure fire way to crush it. Talk to other people. Ask them how they're really feeling, and do an act of service expecting nothing in return. The secret to crush the lie that you are alone in your life is to have a real conversation, because I'm pretty sure in the other person's mind they are also alone sometimes. Get out of your own head and you'll start to realized that the "you're all by yourself" lie is just that, a lie!
There is always an excuse not to, but get involved somewhere. Yes, there will be groups you will try that won't work, but you'll be trying. That's half the battle. No one wants to feel alone, even the other people out there who look intimidating. Open up a dialogue and those same intimidating people you'll find are also thinking they're the only ones who feel alone.
These days we spend to much of our time having ourselves in mind. What makes the difference is when we stop thinking about ourselves. Imagine a world where we all stopped thinking about ourselves and thought of those around us. How fulfilled we would be!
We would be so much more inclusive, because there would be no other choice. If we think about how we can help others that is how we stop feeling that we are by ourselves. Eventually you will look around and you will be with a group of people focusing on someone else, and you'll realize you really never were alone. I challenge you to do something small every day this week that helps another person, or ask someone a real question about themselves. At the end of the week you will feel more connected to people than last week!
Then at the end of the week thin about how you felt over that week. Did you feel alone? Probably not! We can all learn more about how to support each other, but it only takes one small act to realize how not alone you are!
The Most Important Lessons I've learned Since I was 20!

For instance, in 2019, the Gulf of Mexico observed new oil discoveries by key companies such as Shell, Chevron, Repsol, and Equinor. Shell has been successful in deep-water well-exploration projects. The new exploration project is expected to produce more than 900,000 barrels of oil by 2020. The increasing energy demand will subsequently accelerate deep-sea exploration, which, in turn, will aid the expansion of the market.
The oil & gas industry is expected to account for the lion's share in the world's primary energy supply by 2050. The increasing utilization of unmanned underwater vehicles in the oil and gas industry can have an outstanding effect on the market in the forthcoming years. Moreover, the increasing commercial applications such as seafloor mapping or seabed imaging and pipeline disruption study in the sea environment will foster healthy unmanned underwater vehicles market growth.

Asia Pacific is expected to experience a significant growth rate during the forecast period. The growth is attributed to the increasing investments in the defense sector from several countries such as India, China, Japan, South Korea, and others.

Note: This year the Globe Guilders Fashion Show is honoring Peggy Matthews as a beacon of fashion and a longtime supporter of The Old Globe. Fashion informed most of Matthews's life, 17 years of which she spent as Midwest Editor at Mademoiselle magazine, based in Chicago. As part of her responsibilities, she traveled across America to stage fashion events. She mingled with iconic couturiers and also enthusiastically worked with student fashion organizations. After she retired, she and her husband Bob moved to San Diego, where she was persuaded to accept the position of Regional Promotions Director for the Broadway department store. She was a consummate volunteer, managing publicity for a myriad of organizations here in San Diego. With her background deeply imbedded in fashion, the fact that Matthews gave generous monetary gifts to the Globe Guilders and The Old Globe costume department surprises no one. Hats off to Peggy!

Q: regEx duplicate character class var regEx = /[24680]d*[24680]/
for this regEx variable I was wondering what does it actually mean for this to have double [24680]. I know d means digits from 0 to 9 to clarify that this sin't just one single number and the * is a quantifier that means if it runs zero or more times in a given string... But why is it necessary to put it twice?

Data, Methods & Taxonomies
The Charcoal Quantification Tool (CharTool): A Suite of Open-source Tools for Quantifying Charcoal Fragments and Sediment Properties in Archaeological and Paleoecological Analysis
Grant Snitker Department of Crop and Soil Sciences, College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences, University of Georgia, Athens, USA.
Keywords: Archaeology, Paleoecology, Charcoal Analysis, Image Analysis, ImageJ, R
Sedimentary charcoal analysis is increasingly used in archaeological and paleoecological research to examine human-environmental relationships at multiple scales. The recent availability of low-cost digital microscopes and imaging software has resulted in the rapid adoption of digital image analysis in charcoal studies. However, most published studies include only minimal accounts of software configurations or utilize proprietary image analysis programs, thus hindering replication, standardization, and comparability of charcoal analyses across the field. In an effort to encourage replicable methods and a culture of open science, this paper presents the Charcoal Quantification Tool (CharTool), a free, open-source suite of charcoal and sediment quantification tools designed for use with ImageJ. CharTool blends standard methods in visual and digital charcoal analysis to increase the analyst's participation in identifying and measuring charcoal metrics. Each CharTool module is described and demonstrated in a vignette using sedimentary charcoal collected from the Son Servera study area, Mallorca, Spain. A suggested workflow, user-guide, scripted analyses for processing outputs, and download instructions are included as supplementary materials to this article.

Hi! Could someone please upload this new version of zoo tycoon I know it was just release October 31st and I can't find it anywhere.
I would like to give this game a go but all the other torrents are for the console releases which I assume will not only entail quite a bit of work on my behalf, but will also control much less easily than the version currently on Steam.
Please learn to search before posting and do not create duplicate threads for material already requested here.

28/07/2015 17/02/2017 Rugby Shirt Watch
England Rugby League BLK 2015/16 Home Shirt
The landscape of kit suppliers within English rugby league is shifting. A year ago, ISC's dominance of the market looked virtually untouchable, main supplier to the RFL and in partnership with eight Super League clubs, too. But behind the scenes, changes were afoot… Firstly, two of the domestic games biggest hitters – Wigan and arch rivals St Helens – severed ties with ISC and the RFL followed suit soon after, announcing a new four-year partnership with BLK.
BLK is no stranger to rugby league, having outfitted the NZ Kiwis and several NRL teams, and it also has a substantial presence in union, too. The England shirt is the Aussie brand's first foray into Northern Hemisphere rugby league, however… no pressure, then! Let's dive in…
The shirt itself is of course predominantly white, but where's the cross of St George? Using the cross as a big design feature in England shirts for some time, but here it's nowhere to be seen, though we do get some red trim.It's perhaps not that surprising, as the 2014 ISC shirt included a cross motif in a very subtle way, but we were hoping that would be a temporary break from what has become tradition for the purposes of the World Cup.
Without the prominent use of the cross, it perhaps takes away some of the uniqueness that past England RL shirts possessed. Sometimes it has featured too heavily, but at least this gave a clear differentiation between the national outfits of the 13 and 15 man disciplines.
The aforementioned trim details on this shirt are one of its big plus points, with the neck detail a particular favourite of ours also. Too many collarless shirts are boring and uninventive, BLK have been anything but here, although the red would have looked even better had it continued around the whole circumference, as is the current BLK collar style.
It would be nice if the RFL could ditch their current England crest in favour of a traditional coat of arms, although this seems unlikely and is a real shame as all three main front of shirt components in the same colour would be a touch that only perfectionists could dream of.
Switch to the reverse of the shirt and here we find a small essay… purists, you may wish to avert your eyes. Look, we get the need for sponsors in RL Internationally and for England to keep hold of Gillette for all these years should be commended, but is there any real need to carry a list of all the latest gizmo's that make up a wet-shave razor? It's a bit overkill.
While it's an unavoidable part of the modern game and commonplace on club jerseys, we're not thrilled about the creep of sponsor-overload into an international shirt. For example, we still wish the Kingston Press Cider logo wasn't obscuring the nice red trim on the sleeve, and if it has to, can it be on both sides so the shirt doesn't look so unbalanced?
That said, the kit designers rarely get any kind of say in this kind of thing, so we shouldn't hold it against them – it's a matter for the RFL, not BLK!
Here at RSW we always like it when kit makers put thoughtful, subtle little details into a shirt, and it's worth pointing out the easily-missed 'Wall Of White' slogan embossed into the lower back – it's a nice, understated touch.
So have BLK continued where ISC left off? Well in some ways, yes, and others no. While it continues the move towards restrained simplicity of ISC's final England offering, part of us wishes they hadn't! We still really like the shirt, but we're hoping the prominent St George's cross returns next year.
SHIT/GOOD RATING: Good… but we hope it's bolder next year

Albert81 says:
England will never have a realy good Rugby league kit till they ditch the logo & get a proper Rugby League crest I sugest something like Queensland Maroons have crest wise till then all England Rugby league kits will ever be are billbords.
Phil McCracken says:
yep, even as an Aussie here it needs a better crest on it ! I know its the flag but it does sort of cheapen it a bit
Daniel (@dotpols) says:
Agree with all the others here – the England RL logo just looks so amateur…
As for the jersey itself, the design is kinda tacky even though it's simple. The make appears poor and the areas where the lines are just look ill conceived – nothing meets and it just makes it look like the design of a non licensed video game.

Christina's Dress is an original design by TAV Creations based on retro/pin-up style lines.
The fitted bodice and circular skirt flatter most figures and the full straps allow the bride to feel secure in a regular bra.
The scrunched portrait collar adds an element of luxury and elegance, while being removable to allow for that extra freedom and versatility for later on during the festivities, or an option for future wearability. The lace appliqué detailing connects the collar to the dress in a subtle and discrete blending.

Autism is a severe developmental disorder that begins at birth or within the first two-and-a-half years of life. Most autistic children look like other kids and are perfectly normal in appearance, but do spend their time engaged in puzzling and disturbing behaviors which are markedly different from those of typical children. Less severe cases on the spectrum may be diagnosed with Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) or with Asperger's Syndrome; these children usually typically have normal speech and might even be intellectually gifted, but they have one or more many "autistic" social and behavioral problems.
People used to think autism was irreversible. The good news is that there are now a wide range variety of treatments that can be very helpful. A good starting point for choosing one is to look at the parent ratings of interventions, which presents the responses of more than 25,000 parents, showing the effectiveness. See the Treatment Ratings for Autism.
Challenging behaviors continue to top the list of concerns for families and teachers of persons with ASD. Although we have made impressive gains in helping reduce these problem behaviors, obstacles remain. This talk will cover new insights into these obstacles and how families and others can overcome them and effectively help persons with even the most severe behavioral challenges. The presenter will describe how advances in positive psychology can help caregivers be more effective in their efforts to help those with ASD and how to help themselves lead happier and less stressful lives.
Optimistic Parenting: Hope and Help for Individuals with Challenging Behavior – Presented by V. Mark Durand, Ph.D.
For many years autism was rare – occurring in just five children out of per 10,000 live births. However, since the early 1990's, the rate of autism has increased dramatically around the world, with figures as high as 60 per 10,000. Boys outnumber girls four to one. The US Federal Centers for Disease Control estimates that as many as 1 in 68 children will be diagnosed with an ASD.
What Is the Longer-Term Outlook?
Age at intervention has a direct impact on outcome–typically, the earlier a child is treated, the better the prognosis will be. In recent years there has been a marked increase in the percentage of children who can attend school in a typical classroom and go on to live semi-independently in community settings. However, the majority of autistic persons remain impaired to some degree in their ability to communicate and socialize.


As one who has been directly involved in selling DirecWay satellite internet products, sold competitive Enterprise Satellite internet products, has a background in financial analysis and business information reporting.... and studied HNS for over 4 years, I've come to the conclusion that the end might be near for DirecWay satellite internet in the U.S. Bear with me now......this ownership stuff gets a bit convoluted....keep in mind, this in no way affects DirecTV customers.
Last December DirecTV Group (Part of News Corporation - a Rupert Murdock company) which is the parent of HNS (Hughes Network Systems)-which, in turn owns DirecWay, decided to sell 50% of the operation to Sky Terra, which is owned by Apollo Management Group, a New York based private investment company with holdings in chemical, furniture and real estate companies in addition to it's Satellite holdings. DirectTV Group cited the main reason for the sale of HNS/DirecWay was to focus on the core satellite TV business, DirecTV. DirecTV Group will treat the 50% they retain as an investment on their books and hand over the day to day management of the operations of HNS/DirecWay to Sky Terra-a VERY important revelation.
In the report they speak of one potential event after another that could easily undermine the inferred plans to continue to operate HNS?as if to tell the investing world, new plans are on the horizon. The point of this opinion piece is to put DirecWay consumer and even commercial internet customers on notice.......seriously consider a change while the "gettin's good". As soon as they contractually can, I believe Sky Terra will put the assets of HNS to work in profitable niches like vsat commercial applications, sell Ku bandwidth to the highest bidder and try to get in on the balance of Homeland Security business still out there. Up to the present time DirecWay has been poorly directed and a complete financial disaster - just ask Rupert Murdock! If you work for HNS and don't have your resume' on the street.......you might want to start typing!
If WildBlue and the others in the Ka Band internet business are remotely successful it will bring this to fruition even faster. Why? Sky Terra has control of a Ka band satellite under construction for launch in 2007(SpaceWay 3) - too far out for DirecWay/Sky Terra to have any impact on the market. They have the rights to another DirecWay Ka band satellite which is still on the drawing boards and I believe they are betting they can sell both of them for a handsome profit to one of the four active major Ka players: Telesat, WildBlue, SES Americom or EchoStar. This could be a very interesting year for the satellite internet business.

'A Stark Loss for American Journalism'
Reporter and Author William Greider Dies at Age 83
By Jessica Corbett, staff writer for Common Dreams
I spoke to Bill often as he was preparing to
write this book (published in 1992) on grass
roots movements. In particular, we talked about
the evolution of grassroots environmentalism.
He was one of the best journalists I ever met.
-Will Collette
William "Bill" Greider, a veteran journalist and author who spent decades reporting on politics and economics for national media outlets, died Wednesday at his home in Washington, D.C. at the age of 83.
Born on Aug. 6, 1936 to Harold and Gladys, Greider was raised in Wyoming, Ohio and graduated from Princeton in 1958. He died from complications of congestive heart failure, according to his son Cameron.
In addition to Cameron, Greider is survived by his wife Linda, his daughter Katharine, his sister Nancy, and four grandchildren.
A longtime national affairs correspondent for The Nation, Greider also spent 17 years at Rolling Stone and 15 years at The Washington Post. He was a correspondent for six Frontline documentaries on PBS and authored several books. During his tenure at The Nation, Greider was a frequently featured writer on Common Dreams.
Greider's editors, fellow reporters, and readers have turned to social media since his death on Christmas Day to recognize his contributions to journalism and highlight some of his most celebrated pieces of writing.
Katrina vanden Heuvel, editorial director and publisher of The Nation, wrote on Twitter that Greider understood "something all too rare in this 24-7 media world. The process of reimagining democracy requires not only real respect for the people, deep reporting, historical insight, but also patience."
Among Greider's most famous articles was "The Education of David Stockman," which was published in The Atlantic in 1981. The critical essay about President Ronald Reagan's budget director and Reaganomics earned Greider a George Polk Award and later appeared in one of his books.
In a pair of tweets, John Nichols, fellow national affairs correspondent for The Nation, called Greider "a friend and comrade and occasional co-conspirator."
"He taught me so see politics not as a game but high-stakes struggle for power in which the Democrats, sadly, yielded far too much ground to an increasingly right-wing Republican Party," wrote Nichols.
"Born in the year of Franklin Delano Roosevelt's greatest electoral triumph, William Greider was in many senses the last New Dealer," Nichols continued. "His death, at age 83, represents a stark loss for American journalism. And for those of us who knew his great generosity of spirit and intellect."
Eric Etheridge, who edited Greider's column for Rolling Stone in the early 1990s, shared a story about the journalist's persistence in a series of tweets Thursday.
In a 2015 column for The Nation that subsequently appeared on Common Dreams, Greider wrote that the country was facing a stark choice between an ascendant Donald Trump in the Republican Party and the promise presented by Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) during the early months of his first presidential run.
It was September of that year when Greider asked readers to consider which of the two politicians—though, at the time, he thought neither was likely to win—the United States would follow:
We can only speculate on what might happen next. One party or the other might split apart. Independent formations could appear on the left or right and try to overturn one established party or the other. The center, given its advantages, might hang on to control of government, but it isn't holding on to the people.
We may wish for reason in high places—that powerful financial and corporate interests recognize the dangers and accede to real reform and economic revival for the broad populace. Don't count on it. We cannot assume the powerful will yield their advantages without a fight. Nor should we expect that the future will necessarily be progressive.
History suggests that crusty old political parties in powerful nations have a hard time acknowledging that they have to change or die. Politicians should read a little history—American history—and get over their illusions.
This is what the politicians should ponder for 2016, even if they don't yet have the nerve to talk about it.
In an obituary published Friday, Payday Report founder Mike Elk described Greider as his "mentor" and wrote that "upon hearing the news that he died, I cried so hard. I owe my career to Bill—he was a hero of mine, who gave me the confidence to push on with low pay in a media world that so often pushes blue-collar kids like me out."
"I first got to know him as a young 22-year-old labor reporter, when I had the incredible fortune to have a desk just a few feet away from Greider's office, who was in his 70s and still writing regularly for The Nation," Elk explained.
"He was folksy, down-to-earth, swore a lot, and was funny as all hell. He was an old school journalist from the pre-internet era when journalists actually sat down and took time to talk to regular people."
Elk wrote of his mentor that "a student of the populist movement, he saw the liberal elite's discourse as being a barrier to the ability of social movements to achieve change. He encouraged me to ignore the D.C. media types and focus on calling out how the elites talked down to workers."
As Greider once told Elk, "That's journalism, people are gonna talk shit on you no matter what you say so why not just to tell the truth."

Do you like discount shopping? I know you do and I know you will be amazed at what you can find on the Internet. There are many retailers and each day their number is growing that's why it would be easier for you to find anything you need for a big discount price. It's as simple as you hear: you stay in comfort of your own home and make purchases adding that you save time and a lot of money.
I'm sure that you have your List of Purchases that should be 'completed' at the end of the year but you just don't have enough time for this. Time problem is the first barrier that you should pass but there is another problem that is also common for all of us.
Money problem! All of our salary is spent on everyday needs and sometimes we don't even have money for friends' birthdays.
Discount internet shopping will partially solve the time and money problems. I don't think discount shopping is the great 'formula' for all of your problems but I can assure you that you will spend more time with your friends or on watching the TV or whatever you like than anytime before. You should simply put together all the hours spent on driving to mall, hours spent in lines etc. Which is your result 5, 10 hours a month or even more? You should do something with that!
Maybe you think that discount shopping mean low quality or at least lower than in major retail stores. Than you should know that there is no difference between items bought on discount and those bought in a retail store. You buy on discount only because you buy directly from manufacturer instead of the wholesaler. Discount shopping means smart shopping not low quality.

What major stressors face the remotely piloted aircraft (RPA) community, and what are the resulting implications (if any) for personnel management and career field planning?
How might a deployment-to-dwell concept be applied to the RPA force?
The demand for the Air Force's remotely piloted aircraft (RPAs) has exploded in the past few years. Even though the Air Force has increased its number of RPA units, it has been unable to keep up with this demand. This problem is exacerbated by an inability to fill the ranks of RPA units. The result is that RPA personnel work inordinately long hours, and the RPA mission is more demanding in terms of flying time than the typical traditionally manned aircraft mission. Air Force Special Operations Command leadership recognized the need to address RPA workforce issues and asked RAND Project AIR FORCE to identify issues potentially affecting the RPA force and recommend ways to mitigate them. Researchers conducted focus groups with RPA personnel, finding that while crews view their missions as important, they feel stressed due to heavy workloads, undermanning, shiftwork, lack of training, and undesirable base locations. About one-third of those in the groups showed signs of burnout, a feeling that typically occurs after prolonged periods of stress. Researchers recommend reducing personnel stress by reducing workload and instituting a "combat-to-dwell" policy that allows personnel time to attend to family and administrative needs and mitigates combat exposure.
Crews view their missions as important and feel a strong sense of camaraderie, including positive attitudes toward colleagues and working in a supportive team setting. On the negative side, crews feel stressed and regard their stress as greater than that of other career fields. About one-third of those in the groups showed signs of burnout. The most frequently mentioned concerns were related to lack of manning and overtasking. Another frequently mentioned area of dissatisfaction was shiftwork. Some concerns were also expressed about training; although most personnel felt that they were adequately trained, they felt that more training would allow them to offer more support. RPA units' locations — Cannon, Creech, and Holloman Air Force Bases — were generally seen as undesirable, and available facilities and services were seen as lacking, largely because of the schedules the crews had to follow.
Reduce the workload on remotely piloted aircraft (RPA) personnel. This can be done in several ways: lowering CAP requirements temporarily to allow manning to catch up to demand; manning the career field at 100; and raising crew-to-CAP ratios.
Establish a combat-to-dwell policy for RPA personnel. Institute a combat-to-dwell ratio for RPA personnel to mitigate negative effects of combat exposure, high OPTEMPO, and shift work and provide time for training and families.
Find ways to attract and retain RPA personnel. The Air Force must continue to offer accession initiatives and offer bonuses and incentive pay, It must also ensure that there are clear, attainable, and rewarding paths to job growth and explore adding new RPA base locations.
Continue to improve the RPA human factors environment, such as climate control, ergonomic design, and equipment upgrades.
Use metrics to continuously evaluate the health of the RPA community.
The research reported here was commissioned by the Air Force Special Operations Command (AFSOC) and conducted by the Manpower, Personnel, and Training Program within RAND Project AIR FORCE.

Zalgiris inks playmaker Westermann
May 30, 2016 by Euroleague.net Print
Zalgiris Kaunas announced the signing of point guard Leo Westermann to a one-year deal with a team option for the 2017-18 season. Westermann (1.96 meters, 23 years old) arrives from French powerhouse Limoges CSP, where he averaged 10.1 points on 88.9% free throw shooting and 4.3 assists in 10 Turkish Airlines Euroleague games last season. Westermann also played the 2015-16 Eurocup with Limoges and averaged 8.4 points on 41.4% three-point shooting and 4.1 assists in eight games. Despite his young age, Westermann brings four seasons of Euroleague experience: two with Partizan Belgrade of Serbia and two more with Limoges. He has also played for Centre Federal du Basket-ball and Asvel Lyon Villeurbanne of his native France. He helped Partizan win the Serbian League and the Adriatic League titles in 2013 and lifted the French League trophy with Limoges in 2015. Westermann is a member of the French national team, which he helped win the bronze medal at EuroBasket 2015.

The methylation status of the target promoter sequences of p15(INK4B) (p15) and O-6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) genes was studied by methylation-specific PCR in 10 adult patients with de novo B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (B-NHL). The aberrant hypermethylation of the p15 gene was more frequent (50%) compared to the hypermethylation of the MGMT gene (30%), and was detected in different types of B-NHL in both genes. Hypermethylation of the MGMT gene occurred exclusively in association with the hypermethylation of the p15 gene. All lymphoma patients with hypermethylation of the p15 and/or MGMT genes had a higher clinical stage of the disease (IV - V). We show the association of anemia and/or thrombocytopenia with the hypermethylation of the p15 gene, ascribing the p15 gene as a potential prognostic marker in B-NHL. Comethylation of MGMT with the p15 gene represents a novel finding and presents both genes as candidates for future studies of the hypermethylation profiles of B-N...HL.

State Education Commissioner John King(Photo: Peter Carr/The Journal News)Buy Photo
ALBANY – Education Commissioner John King will step down as the state's top-ranking education official for a job in President Barack Obama's administration.
King said Wednesday he will leave the state Education Department to become senior adviser to U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan. His resignation takes effect at the end of the year.
"I'm humbled and honored to have the chance to work with President Obama and Secretary Duncan," King said. "Their extraordinary leadership is helping students all across the nation get better prepared for college and careers. I'm excited to become part of that team."
King, 39, has been commissioner since May 2011, when he was appointed by the state Board of Regents and became the first African-American to serve as the state's education chief.
He oversaw the state's rollout of Common Core, serving as a prominent backer of the more-stringent education standards. New York's implementation of the standards drew widespread criticism from parents, teachers and students, who took to forums statewide to loudly voice their displeasure — often with King sitting on stage.
King also clashed with the state's teachers union, which called for his removal in April while criticizing him for the state's testing procedures and "failure to listen to classroom teachers." He helmed the Education Department as it implemented an updated teacher-evaluation system, which included greater reliance on student test scores.
"We hope he has learned from his stormy tenure in New York state and look forward to working collaboratively and productively with the Regents to improve public education going forward," the New York State United Teachers union wrote Wednesday.
His tenure drew praise from supporters of Common Core, which is being implemented in more than 40 states and is touted by advocates as a way to make students more ready for college and careers. StudentsFirstNY, an education group that supports Common Core and charter schools, said King leaves an "extraordinary legacy."
"John King showed that if you raise standards in a smart way, students will rise to the challenge," StudentsFirstNY executive director Jenny Sedlis said. "It's no wonder he's been tapped for a national post. New York's loss is the nation's gain."
Senate Education Committee Chairman John Flanagan, R-Suffolk County, called King an "extraordinarily talented and bright and passionate individual." Flanagan said King's consistently even temperament often was mistaken for a lack of conviction, which Flanagan said is "completely wrong."
"I think he was absolutely, overwhelmingly focused on children and their well-being, including minority kids in particular," Flanagan said. "Did we always agree? Absolutely not, but he was always a gentleman, professional in every respect and aspect."
Regents Chancellor Merryl Tisch said the board will create a search committee next week to find King's successor. She praised King for being a "remarkable leader in a time of true reform."
"We will ensure a smooth and efficient transition," Tisch said. "We have a strong leadership team in place at the (Education) Department."

The airplane graveyard that 3 families call home is the subject of a stunning photo series.

What happens to airplanes after they're no longer fit to roam the skies?
Decommissioned planes are often stripped and sold for parts, with the remains finding a new home in what is sometimes referred to as an "airplane boneyard" or "graveyard." Around the world, these graveyards exist; they're made up of large, empty lots and tons of scrap metal.

Photojournalist Taylor Weidman recently stopped by a graveyard in Bangkok, Thailand.
In the city's Ramkhamhaeng neighborhood sits a lot peppered with parts from jets and commercial liners. What's most interesting, however, aren't the planes, but rather the people who live among the wreckage.

Life in the graveyard is about as bare-bones as it gets.
The three families living in the lot seem to get by with little more than the shelter created by the hull of a 747, mats, and makeshift curtains. For money, several collect recycling, and as the International Business Times reports, "they occasionally supplement their income by charging tourists and photographers 100 Baht (about £1.80 or $2.77) to look around their homes."

Weidman's photos shine a light on the luxuries we so often take for granted in life; namely, the ability to travel.
Seeing vehicles once used to jet people around the world for business, pleasure, and everything in between used in a much more fundamental way — as the basic shelters needed for survival — is its own form of forced perspective. It also highlights the creativity of those living in the lot; being able to transform airplanes into places to call home is no small feat.

Most of all, Weidman's photos tell a story about the importance of empathy.
The families in the Ramkhamhaeng lot are human, just like you and me. Like all of us, they're doing their best to survive.

This stunning collection of photos brings just a brief glimpse of what it's like to step into their shoes; something we should all strive to do more often.
