Speaking at a town hall in Racine, Wisconsin, Obama called for sending a "civilian expeditionary force" to Afghanistan and Iraq to help overburdened military troops build infrastructure. His remarks were first reported by The Associated Press.

"So what Im trying to say is, dont put all the burden on the military. Make sure that weve got a civilian expeditionary force," said the president, adding that the civilian force would build schools, bridges and roads in regions cleared by the military as safe.

Obama last December renounced the possibility committing the US to a lengthy "nation-building" project. "I reject this course because it sets goals that are beyond what can be achieved at a reasonable cost, and what we need to achieve to secure our interests," he said in a speech at New York’s West Point Academy.

Department of Defense Directive 1404.10, dated January 23, 2009, set up a "Civilian Expeditionary Workforce" that would "be organized, trained, cleared, equipped, and ready to deploy in support of combat operations by the military; contingencies; emergency operations; humanitarian missions; disaster relief; restoration of order; drug interdiction; and stability operations."

Now do you see why he wants illegal aliens here making new ‘citizens’ as fast as they can? The anti-baby brainwashing of the last several decades has backfired on the warmongers.

Which of the following would be a good way to organize many sets of data in the same workbook? (Select the best answer.) (Points: 5)
Put several columns between each set of data.
Put several rows between each set of data.
Use the Sort feature each time you want to find a set of data.
I think- Put each set of data in its own worksheet.

3. A student has been working on a project that involves adjusting the size of rows and columns. Which software program or programs could the student have been using? (Select the best answer.) (Points: 5)
Word
I think- Excel
Either Word or Excel
GIMP

I know i got this one right.^

1. A column chart

2. Put each set of data in its own worksheet. The worksheet will launch faster and changes will recalculate faster.

3. Excel is the only one with columns and rows.

4. Slide Sorter

5. Scan e-mail attachments for viruses.
__Pay attention to check boxes when registering at Web sites.
__Report spam to your e-mail provider.

If you reply to spam messages saying you’re not interested, then that verified to the spammer that they contacted a valid E mail address.

If you put an obvious misspelling in your e-mail address when posting it publicly, then this prevents people whom you want to contact you from being able to contact you.

First I want to say that I am helping you with your homework BECAUSE YOU TRIED to do it first. I just hate it when kids expect their homework to be done for them here. You will go much further in your life than those kids. At least you tried. they don’t. Thank you for that!

Actually I would say that #5 should be
scan e-mail attachments for viruses
pay attention to check boxes
report the spam.

e-mail addresses should never be posted publically but when you go to sites that require you to register with e-mail, most send a verification e-mail before you can use the site. For this reason, I have a "dummy" e-mail set up on a free e-mail site which is NOT the normal e-mail site that I pay for and use as my primary e-mail. That way, I can still access the verification e-mail but that is the site that takes all the spam hits and my primary e-mail stays 99% completely spam free.

If you want it to be kinda dreamy, like a newspaper you’d see in a coma, try: The Portland Daily Dream, The Cloud Courier, The Portland Evening Star.

Good luck with the book report . . . and I hope she lives!

Currently, your local school has four separate computer labs, each with 20 computers. The following classes are taught in each lab:

Microsoft Office Applications

Computer Programming

Networking Security

Networking Concepts

Internet Fundamentals

Web Page Design

Digital Video Editing

Database Connectivity

Web Graphics and Multimedia

If the school wins the grant, the principal will be responsible for determining which lab is upgraded. She has asked the instructors who teach in the labs to develop a presentation that consists of the following:

Type of computer systems desired

Application software desired

Operating system desired

Peripherals desired

Type of network connections and transmission media needed

Security factors to consider

Estimated budget for the upgrade

Objective
To develop a presentation and paper that itemizes the equipment needed for a computer lab upgrade. The presentation should also persuade the user that the upgrade is necessary.

Process
The following lists the steps that should be followed to accomplish the objective.

Determine the specifications of the computer systems desired and the type of network system you wish to put into place.
Research additional equipment needed as well. This includes peripherals such as printers, keyboards, mice, microphones, scanners, digital cameras, and so on.
Identify how and in what class each piece of equipment will be used.

Resources
Be creative, insightful, and curious as you explore the Web. Suggested resources include the following:

PowerPoint Presentation:

Use a template or a design you created on each slide for consistency.
Include your name as a footer.
Begin with a title slide with your name and role.

Include slide transitions in this presentation. Use one kind of transition and apply it to the whole presentation.
Include slide animations in this presentation. Again a consistent animation applied to all slides is appropriate.
Use the spell checker to correct any misspellings.
Summary Slide listing links to pertinent web sites used in this search. Place this at the end of the presentation.

You kidding right? theres no way anyone here is actually going to do all that work for you….

That’s confusing. Oh yeah, wrong section.

For the first time, Pentagon planners in 2010 will include climate change among the security threats identified in the Quadrennial Defense Review, the Congress-mandated report that updates Pentagon priorities every four years.

The reference to climate change follows the establishment in October of a new Center for the Study of Climate Change at the Central Intelligence Agency."

"The American people expect the military to plan for the worst," says retired Vice Adm. Lee Gunn, a 35-year Navy veteran now serving as president of the American Security Project. "It’s that sort of mindset, I think, that has convinced, in my view, the vast majority of military leaders that climate change is a real threat and that the military plays an important role in confronting it."

"Retired Air Marshal A.K. Singh, a former commander in India’s air force, foresees mass migrations across national borders, with militaries soon becoming involved."
http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=121352495&ft=1&f=1004

What are your thoughts on this?

There have been military boards set up to analyze the threat.

http://securityandclimate.cna.org/mab/

It’s good to know it’s officially considered a threat now.

I’d do something like this– est. time to complete templates= 20 hour (or whatever) X $80.00/ hour = $1600 + training (100)= 1700 + mileage = $1850.

Then I’d discount the hourly rate for the more templates you create so you get the payment you were wanting.

In this project, I applied my mechanical knowledge to support, monitor, assess and audit the technical points of suppliers. FACED WITH the complex block point, I was able to actively search FOR the solution FROM a technical point of VIEW, then make a decision rapidly which can meet the time and cost requirements. Meanwhile, I synthesized my mathematical and mechanical knowledge to make a template for assisting calculations. THIS can HELP SAVE time WHEN evaluating dimension reports, not only for myself but also for other project R&D Engineers. FINALLY, I cooperated with other engineers effectively, which ENABLED the project team to conduct the entire job smoothly and successfully.
