NASA OIG Final Report: NASA's Information Technology Governance
NASA Inspector General Paul K. Martin today released a report recommending a series of significant changes to improve NASA's information technology (IT) governance and how it plans, purchases, deploys, and secures its IT resources across the Agency.
NASA spends more than $1.5 billion annually on a portfolio of IT assets that includes approximately 550 information systems used to control spacecraft, collect and process scientific data, provide security for its IT infrastructure, and enable NASA personnel to collaborate with colleagues around the world. Accordingly, IT is intrinsic to the Agency's ability to accomplish its mission. However, for over two decades NASA has struggled to implement an effective IT governance approach that appropriately aligns authority and responsibility between Headquarters management and the Agency's Centers and Mission Directorates.
In the review released today, the Office of Inspector General (OIG) found that the decentralized nature of NASA's operations and its longstanding culture of autonomy hinder the Agency's ability to implement effective IT governance. Specifically, the Agency's Chief Information Officer (CIO) has limited visibility and control over a majority of the Agency's IT investments, operates in an organizational structure that marginalizes the authority of the position, and cannot enforce security measures across NASA's computer networks. Moreover, the current IT governance structure is overly complex and does not function effectively. As a result, Agency managers tend to rely on informal relationships rather than formalized business processes when making IT-related decisions.
While other Federal agencies are moving toward a centralized IT structure under which a senior manager has ultimate decision authority over IT budgets and resources, NASA continues to operate under a decentralized model that relegates decision making about critical IT issues to numerous individuals across the Agency, leaving such decisions outside the purview of the NASA CIO. As a result, NASA's current IT governance model weakens accountability and does not ensure that IT assets across the Agency are cost effective and secure.
For example, of the $1.46 billion allocated for IT in fiscal year (FY) 2012, the Agency CIO had direct control of $159 million or only 11 percent, the Centers had direct control of $393 million or 27 percent, and the Mission Directorates controlled the remaining $912 million or 62 percent. An anecdote recounted to us during our review illustrates the CIO's limited visibility and control of NASA's overall IT spending. According to the Agency CIO, although planned IT expenditures for FY 2010 were $1.6 billion, the Agency actually spent $2 billion. However, the CIO was unaware of the $400 million in additional spending until the Mission Directorates reported actual expenditures to her office in response to a data call. This lack of visibility over IT purchasing limits the ability of the Agency CIO to consolidate IT expenditures to realize cost savings and drive improvements in the delivery of IT services.
To overcome the barriers that have resulted in the inefficient and ineffective management of NASA's IT assets and operations, the OIG recommended that NASA overhaul its IT governance structure to centralize IT functions and establish the Agency CIO as the top management official responsible for NASA's entire IT portfolio. Among our recommendations were that the Administrator realign and consolidate all IT governance activities and reporting within CIO's office; ensure the CIO has adequate visibility into mission related IT assets and activities; establish a monetary threshold that captures the majority of IT expenditures and require the CIO to approve expenditures above that threshold; and reevaluate the resources of the CIO's office to ensure it has the appropriate number and types of personnel.
NASA concurred or partially concurred with our recommendations and proposed a series of corrective actions to improve IT governance at the Agency.
The full report can be found on the OIG's website at http://oig.nasa.gov/ under "Reading Room" or at the following link: http://oig.nasa.gov/audits/reports/FY13/IG-13-015.pdf

A minor account must be joint with a parent or legal guardian.
A minor account is no different than any other account at Star One, with the exception that the account must be joint with a parent or legal guardian. The minor has access to his or her accounts, but must display a valid ID when visiting a branch in order to transact.
The minor and joint owner control the account.
If the minor is 13 years of age or older, a checking account and Visa Debit card is permissible.
A transfer or gift to minor account is an irrevocable trust for the benefit of a minor. The dividends earned are reported under the minor's social security number. The custodian, who opens the account, controls it and can make withdrawals, and is solely responsible for explaining withdrawals to the Internal Revenue Service, if audited. (All withdrawals must be for the benefit of the minor.)
If the minor is in the field of membership, i.e., lives, works, or attends school in Santa Clara County, Alameda County, Merced County, Monterey County, San Benito County, San Joaquin County, San Mateo County, Santa Cruz County, and Stanislaus County, California, the Transfers to Minors account may be established based on the minor's eligibility.
If the minor does not live, work or attend school in one of the eligible counties, an immediate family member who is currently a member may sponsor and establish the Transfers to Minors Account.
This sponsor could be the custodian or the successor custodian on the account but is not required to act in this capacity. A named successor custodian is not required to be a member of the Credit Union. The California Probate Code states that only one person may serve as custodian at a time. In addition, only one successor custodian may serve at a time.
The custodian controls the account until the minor is of adult age. In California, persons eighteen (18) years of age are considered adults.
When the minor reaches adult age, the account can be converted into a regular savings account. A new membership application must be completed and signed by the minor when converting the account. When this happens, the minor must present proof of their date of birth (e.g. driver's license, birth certificate or passport). The custodian's signature is required when the account is converted or closed when the minor reaches age 18.
Some state Departments of Motor Vehicles (DMV or DOT) issue identification cards. In California, an ID can be issued to a minor and is valid for six years. Star One Credit Union recognizes these ID cards as a valid form of identification. To apply for a California ID card, you will need to do the following:
ID cards are available to most who do not have a driver's license.
There are important differences between Accounts for Minors and Uniform Transfers (Gift) to Minor Accounts. It is important that you understand them before you open an account.
|Accounts for Minors
|Uniform Transfers (Gift) to Minor Accounts
|Joint ownership
|Irrevocable trust
|Must be joint with parent or legal guardian
|Requires a custodian
|Valid ID for minor recommended*
|No ID required for Minor
|Must be able to write own name (for withdrawals)
|Minor has no access to account
|Checking accounts allowed
|Checking accounts allowed
|If the minor is 13 years of age or older, a checking account and Visa Debit card is permissible
|Can only be opened for minors under the age of 18
*Valid Identification is required for all transactions at Branches including the Issuance of ATM or Visa Check Card and check orders bearing the minor's name.

In-story purchases
Nighty Night'). It's his favourite because it's an engaging app, and just right for 2-3 year olds. In the story, it's night time and most of the village is in darkness - apart, that is, from the farmhouse, which is still blazing with light. The reader is invited to 'go' to each light in the farmhouse, say goodnight to the animals found there and turn off the light. Once the light is turned off, there's no going back. Sure, you can return to the barn, the dog's kennel and so on, but they've gone to sleep and there's nothing at all you can do about it. It's a simple scenario, that helps with prediction, naming animals, and the simple and repetitive night time rituals of saying goodnight and turning off the light. So in this way it does what good picture books tend to do, in supporting language, helping children to make predictions and making connections to firsthand experience. What might the app add then? Well first off, even though, it's made for sharing, the child can look at it independently and still hear the story being told - a small gain admittedly, but nonetheless a difference from a print book. Then there is the important fact that it is user-driven. This happens in two ways: firstly, the animals and insects won't go to sleep unless you switch off (tap) the light and secondly, the order in which this is done is entirely up to the reader - so it's not unilinear, the child dictates the reading path. Because this is an app for young children, these features are simple and easy to see, but imagine if they were scaled-up and you begin to glimpse the future of digital fiction. Rather like a videogame, you are in 'Nighty Night' because you change the story environment as you go along. And then, of course, there's the upgrade I started with. I really enjoyed the surprise Dylan felt when he suddenly discovered that, overnight, more animals had moved into the farmhouse! The potential for a story that has add-ons is quite something. Of course, the same business model as in-game purchases is lurking behind the scenes - but I want to keep that in proportion. The app plus add-ons, is cheaper than most good quality picture books for this age-group.

Does Your Business Need an App?
The mobile revolution can hardly be ignored. By the end of this year, over 40% of Americans will own a smart phone. Consumers are using their phones to research travel, check email, hunt for deals and buy all sorts of goods and services.
A recent blog post by LoyaltyOne (loyalty marketing agency out of Canada) detailed 5 mobile trends to watch, and while the message is geared towards marketers, it is a valuable one for business leaders as well.
The time to sit on the sidelines of the mobile technology explosion is over. It is time to get with your marketing director and product manager and discuss how the migration to mobile will affect your business.
This could be an amazing opportunity to outfox your competition. How could an innovative and useful mobile app streamline your customer service or add value to your customers? What stage of the buying process would your customers like to access on the go?
Do you have a mobile site or app for your business? If so, what has been the impact?

Family adventure and activity holidays - it's a world of extreme adventure!
France is a vast country of diverse landscapes, and as one of Europe's largest offers adrenaline addicts an unsurpassed range of outdoor action. It is bounded by two major mountain ranges and two large bodies of water and then there's everything in between. The French Alps in the south east are home to some of the world's largest ski resorts and Europe's acclaimed outdoor capital, Chamonix. And Chamonix is located at the foot of Mont Blanc, the highest mountain in Western Europe. The Pyrenees in the south also offer some good skiing and snowboarding along with a host of other mountain activities including, mountain biking, hiking, climbing and via ferrata.
As well as the Alps and Pyrenees France has other mountainous regions and most are worth visiting in their own right. But France, being so big offers so much without even getting near the mountains. Areas such as Brittany or the Canal du Midi are great for family cycling holidays. The beautiful Loire valley is also a popular spot for cyclists and canoeists. River bugs will also enjoy the open waterways around Bordeaux and surf fans, the pounding Atlantic waves along the same coastline.

We've talked a lot at NMR about the YouTube gaming phenomenon. Gamers and gaming related content represent one of the fastest growing and most popular genres on YouTube. Minecraft alone represents the second most searched for topic on the site, and that game only accounts for a fraction of the views being racked up by gaming creators. Pewdiepie, the most subscribed man on YouTube, is a gamer specializing in Let's Plays. However, despite the increased attention and an influx of advertiser interest, gamers and Let's Players are still among the least understood content creators on YouTube. After all, no discussion of Pewdiepie or any other gamer is complete until someone says "So people just watch them play video games?"
A new documentary is aiming to change that. Let's Play is seeking funding to produce a first of its kind documentary about the let's play community. Aside from being a lucrative content vertical, Let's Players also represent an expansive online community. Years-long friendships and relationships have been formed with this singular and largely unexplored YouTube subculture. Documentaries like 2012's excelled Please Subscribe took viewers inside the world of professional content creators, but gamers often exist in a separate space. They have their own communities, their own networks, and their own conventions all of which have only been lightly covered by the media.
Creator Stephen Arthur cites the recent wave of insider gaming documentaries as his primary inspiration. He is seeking $13,750 for equipment, travel, and admission to conventions like PAX. You can watch some initial interview footage and read more about the project HERE.

Athletic footwear should be fitted to hold the foot in the position that's most natural to the movement involved. Athletic shoes protect your feet from stresses encountered in a given sport and to give the player more traction. The differences in design and variations in material, weight, lacing characteristics, and other factors among athletic shoes are meant to protect the areas of the feet that encounter the most stress.
Well-fitted athletic shoes need to be comfortable, yet well-constructed and appropriate for a given activity. A good fit will mitigate blisters and other skin irritations.
Sports-specific athletic shoes are a good investment for serious athletes, though perhaps a less critical consideration for non-athletes. Don't wear any sport or other shoes beyond their useful life.
A running shoe is built to take impact, while a tennis shoe is made to give relatively more support, and permit sudden stops and turns. Cross training shoes are fine for a general athletic shoe, such as for physical education classes or health club exercising, such as on stair machines and weight-lifting because they provide more lateral support and less flexibility than running shoes. They also tend to be heavier than running shoes, but most people don't need light, flexible shoes for cross-training. If a child is involved more heavily in any single sport, he or she should wear shoes specifically designed for that sport.
Our practice recommends sturdy, properly fitted athletic shoes of proper width with leather or canvas uppers, soles that are flexible (but only at the ball of the foot), cushioning, arch supports, and room for your toes. Try a well-cushioned sock for reinforcement, preferably one with acrylic fiber content so that some perspiration moisture is "wicked" away.
Athletic shoes need to be replaced after one year, whether or not they are worn, and after a certain amount of repetitive load is placed on them and wears them down. The American Academy of Podiatric Sports Medicine advises replacing running or walking shoes after 300 to 500 miles of wear, and replacing aerobic, basketball, and tennis shoes after 45 to 60 hours of wear. Athletic shoes should also be replaced if they show signs of unevenness when placed on a flat surface, display noticeable creasing, and/or when the heel counter breaks down.

Women involved in estate planning with their husbands and extended family members may find themselves with a unique view in the process. While a man might make more money in his lifetime than his wife, she will likely outlive him. And, while the husband might earn the larger portion of household income, his wife is more likely to decide how to spend it on a day-to-day basis. How does it all turn out when it is time to pass on assets?
As husbands and wives age, they should look out for each other in estate planning. Indeed, because women tend to outlive their spouses, they sometimes have the final say in estate planning. The law incorporates married couples in this process automatically. For example, if the husband dies without writing a will, assets the couple acquires during marriage then become the property of his widow. However, the best way to anticipate specific wishes in a family is to write an estate plan.
It's natural to have concerns about the well being of loved ones when it comes to estate planning. That's why this process can be used to address some of life's toughest questions such as:
- How are marital assets passed on after death?
- How will the children receive assets?
- How do I ensure that health care needs are met if we are unable to care for ourselves?
- Is our estate subject to taxation?
- Will I have enough to live in a single household after retirement?
What should be included in an estate plan that can incorporate the needs of women, wives and widows?
Living trust
As the name suggests, a living trust is a document that is effective during a person's lifetime. Unlike a will, a living trust outlines how an estate is managed if the grantor (the person writing the trust) is unable to make decisions for herself.
Beneficiary designations
Retirement accounts come with beneficiary designations, which answer the question of who will receive the funds when the account holder dies. Beneficiary designations can change at the wishes of the account holder, and should be reviewed every few years. The designation of an account can also be written into a will and estate plan.
Accommodating a woman's life expectancy and familial wishes into an estate plan is crucial in marriage and beyond.

Afghan father who named son as Donald Trump hoping to go to U.S.
KABUL – An Afghan father who named his son as Donald Trump is now hoping that President Donald Trump would allow him and his children to move to U.S. because he may face some repercussion in his country for his decision.
Many Afghan commentators on social media speculated that Sayed Assadullah Pooya may have named his son after U.S. President to win an American nationality or permanent stay in the U.S.
The rosy-cheeked toddler's father who comes from a rich family and who claimed to be a fan of U.S. President Donald Trump is facing criticism from his own family members for naming his son as Donald Trump.
Sayed Assadullah Pooya claimed that he and his wife have been facing "vulgar and insulting" comments attacking their choice of name for their third child. The family has now shifted to a Kabul apartment and is gaining popularity in the world media.
According to a report some Facebook users have gone as far as threatening to kill Sayed for giving his son an "infidel name," while others have accused him of endangering the boy's life. There are even suggestions Sayed is using the son to get asylum in the United States — a charge Asyed vehemently denies.
Sayed Assadullah Pooya who lives in a heavily Shiite area of Kabul has complained that he has been under constant threat. "When I go out of the house I feel intimidated," he was quoted as saying. The Afghan Donald was born in the central province of Daikundi a few months before the 2016 U.S. presidential election, on the farm where Sayed's parents and grandparents grew almonds, wheat and corn.
Sayed was inspired to call his son Donald Trump after reading the Persian-language versions of the businessman's books, including "How to Get Rich," which he borrowed from the library.
"I did a lot of research about him, and that motivated me to choose his name for my son," he explained. He hopes his son will "be as successful," adding that photos of the older Trump already make his younger namesake "happy."
While Sayed is worried about his family's safety, particularly Donald's, he remains stubbornly unrepentant. "It's likely … that he will be harassed or beaten by his classmates," he said matter-of-fact is that "I won't reconsider (his name). To hell with the other people."

pray for our pup, please
June 6, 2007 at 3:46 pm 2 comments
Please pray for our pup. Maybelle is sick. Took her to the vet this morning. They think that her digestive system is still pretty immature. So, she's having issues with diarreah. She's on meds to stop the problem now. But, we're definitely concerned. Send prayers up on her behalf please. ( I took the day off to stay home with her and take care of her.)
Entry filed under: critters.

Hamilton Food & Drink Fest 2015
At the Hamilton Food & Drink Fest in April there was an impressive showing from local restaurateurs who brought a vast array of culinary offerings to Hamilton, and there were also many drink options to try! The Twisted Lemon Restaurant was on the cooking demo stage creating classic cocktails with their twist when I arrived.
At the fest I met Matthew Kershaw, a French-trained chef who apprenticed in Europe and trained in Toronto at the Royal York Hotel. He and his partner Erin Dunham have opened six restaurants in the last five years with their restaurant group, The Other Bird. At the fest they were offering Crispy Goat + Chèvre, and Pork + Shrimp Dumpling samples - delectable!
Selec The Other Bird Restaurant Group
Kershaw said each of their restaurants are small and different. Their most recent to open, Except for Kenneth (Kenneth is Matthew's dad) in Hamilton, serves up Central American and Guatemalan inspired food such as ceviches and tacos. Two Black Sheep nearby is an oyster bar which sells the most oysters per seat in Ontario. Rapscallion Rogue Eatery, also in Hamilton, is mostly about meat. With a nose to tail menu and no particular influence, it regularly changes offering a variety of dishes to experience which has included foie gras, veal tongue 'n' cheek, frogs legs, pig's head, and chicken feet. Their first restaurant was The Alex in Burlington, open evenings for fine dining, specializing in small plates and share plates.
Earth To Table: Bread Bar
The Earth to Table: Bread Bar located on Locke Street in Hamilton (they have a second location in Guelph) brought house-made bread with an herbed ricotta spread, also delectable! Speaking with Graham Pelley, Executive Chef (on the right), he explained that all breads and sauces are made with quality ingredients including produce grown in Flamborough at their 50 acre Start-Up Farm sublet from FarmStart. The "Earth to Table" book written by Bettina Schormann and Jeff Crump, both chefs and founders of the restaurant, is about eating locally which means seasonally, and this is their concept of food.
It was great chatting with Nina Ruelens, Executive Chef of the 4th Course Bistro at Copetown Woods Golf Club after trying one of her famous crab cakes - so good. Ruelens told me the restaurant is open even during the off-season. Nickel Brook Brewing Co. was there with a fantastic assortment of beers including their Bolshevik Bastard Imperial Stout, good brew! Select Wines & Spirits had an impressive selection of wines to taste, some awesome values with the Mionetto MO Prosecco at $17.95 retail and Faustian VII Tempranillo at $12.95 retail.
Select Wines & Spirits
Later in the month at the Oakville Wine Enthusiasts Club (OWEC) Trialto Wine Group presented wines from Spain, France, and Italy. The last wine poured was produced with one of my favourite grapes, Nebbiolo.
Trialto Wine Agency
From the Borgogno winery in Piedmont, Italy, this wine was named very curiously as "NO NAME" for the fact that there was a kerfuffle in 2005 regarding regulations over the style of the wine in the bottle which did not allow the famous Barolo producer to name it "Barolo" or be labeled DOCG. In a quiet protest Borgogno declassified this very enjoyable mid-weight wine produced with fruit from three single vineyards located in the district of Barolo, the same crus that their Barolo comes from, and has ever since labeled it Langhe Nebbiolo DOC. This wine makes me think back to my visit to this winery several years ago now and the Barolo wines I brought back with me including their Barolo Chinato di Borgogno (Barolo wine with an herbal infusion, good with chocolate), a special wine which is long gone!

Compared to other cosmetic dentistry treatments, tooth bonding is one of the most conservative and personalized treatment options. Bonding is the process of applying tooth-colored composite resin to your tooth to improve its color, size, shape, and overall appearance. Because the resin is custom-tinted to match your tooth structure and can be bonded securely to any area of your tooth, bonding can be used for a number of different cosmetic and restorative reasons.
Dealing with tooth discoloration
When your teeth develop stains, the best option is often professional teeth-whitening. However, when tooth discoloration occurs underneath your tooth's semi-translucent enamel, teeth-whitening may not be the best option. Instead, your dentist may suggest bonding to correct the stubborn discoloration and brighten your smile once again.
Repairing worn/damaged tooth structure
Tooth wear and damage are more common than they should be, but you have several options for repairing the damage, depending on the nature and extent of it. In many cases, tooth bonding can serve as a good alternative to more extensive treatments, like dental crowns, for restoring your tooth structure and correcting your bite's balance.
Treating cavities discreetly
One of the more common uses for tooth-colored composite resin is to create biocompatible, lifelike tooth fillings to discreetly treat mild and moderate cavities. Unlike the metal that older fillings are made of, tooth-colored resin fillings blend in discreetly with the natural appearance of your tooth. They also protect teeth better by creating a durable seal to prevent oral bacteria from re-entering the cavity and leading to further tooth infection.
Find Out if Tooth Bonding Can Help You
If your tooth can use a cosmetic touchup but you want to keep your treatment simple and non-invasive, then find out if tooth bonding is your best option! To learn more, schedule an appointment by calling the Sunny Smiles dental office nearest you in El Paso, TX, today! We have offices in the East, Northeast, and Westside of El Paso, and happily welcome patients from all nearby communities, including Chaparral, Canutillo, Vinton, and Sunland Park, New Mexico.

A Hashbrown Breakfast Casserole is perfect when you need to feed a crowd first thing in the morning. Eggs, sausage and hashbrowns are layered in a casserole dish, topped with cheese and baked to a gooey golden brown.
Serve with a fresh fruit salad (or fruit kabobs for easy serving) and keep the coffee coming (or mimosas)! The day will start off right with this delicious, no-fuss breakfast casserole.
Hashbrowns I use shredded but any hash browns will work in this recipe, or even leftover home fries or roasted potatoes!
Sausage The sky's the limit for this recipe. Use cooked (or smoked) sausage of any kind. Swap it out for turkey sausage, ham, bacon or even leftover ground beef from last night's tacos!
Veggies I add peppers to this casserole but add whatever veggies you have on hand. Mushrooms (cook them first so they don't get watery), asparagus or even steamed broccoli are great.
This recipe is very forgiving, and you can alter according to your preference or what you have on hand. It will accommodate leftover meats, veggies and cheeses of all kinds. Just chop or shred and toss them into the mix.
How to Make Breakfast Casserole
Frozen hash browns make this breakfast casserole is super easy to whip up.
- Spread thawed shredded hash browns in the bottom of a casserole pan.
- Add in cheese, meat and vegetables.
- Pour egg and milk mixture on top (per recipe below).
To Bake or Make Ahead
Cook it now or refrigerate overnight At this point you can either bake the casserole and serve or you can cover and refrigerate overnight and bake in the morning.
Bake Now Simply pour the egg mixture overtop and bake. Unlike a strata or french toast type recipe, you do not need to wait as there is no bread to soak up the mixture. So just make and bake.
Bake Later Cover the mixture tightly and refrigerate up to 48 hours. Remove from the fridge at least 30 minutes before baking (while preheating the oven).
How Long to Bake
This bakes at 350°F for 55-65 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. If you've let it sit overnight, it may need a few extra minutes if it's still quite chilled from the fridge.
What About the Leftovers?
Just like egg muffins, leftovers are perfect for busy weekday mornings.
Fridge They'll keep in the fridge for 3-4 days. Reheat in the microwave or the oven.
Freezer Can you freeze breakfast casserole? Yes, you sure can! This will last in the freezer up to four months. Wrap individual and store in freezer bags. Defrost in the fridge overnight and reheat in the microwave or the oven

Matthew Bourne's Swan Lake will be shown on television 3-D. Ahead of its showing The Times talked to the choreographer. Here are some of the questions he was asked:
Where would you be without Swan Lake?
It's the thing that opened up everything else to me. The irony is that this is the only version that a lot of young people have seen and they think that it's odd to have women as swans.
Did Black Swan give dancers a bad rep?
In ways I don't think it was stereotypical enough! Because it was all very heterosexual, the gay aspect of dance seemed to be completely not there at all. Dance is more popular than it's been for many years, and Black Swan has a lot to do with that.
As an autograph hunter in your teens, who was your best "get"?
Fred Astaire was my idol and I met him many times, to the point where he waved at me from a car once. It feels like so long ago now. People are a bit shocked when I say that I've met Charlie Chaplin — it feels like something from history.
Have you met any of those stars since?
I've had lunch at Barbra Streisand's house, a pool party at Liz Taylor's house. With Babs it was just me and her, but the Liz one was a family party. Liz wasn't someone who really listened. She held court — you could say stuff but I'm not sure it would go in. Certainly not now anyway.
What's next?
We're doing The Nutcracker at Sadler's this Christmas. For our 25th anniversary next year we have a lot of plans — revivals and a new piece at the end of the year.

Meet Selma Elsiddig Adam, an outstanding member of the Class of 2014.
Selma grew up in Sudan where going to college was a day dream that she believed would never come true, especially for a girl who wants to major in Computer Engineering. Selma writes that when she was 13 years she would sneak around and take one of the books her sister brought home up to the roof, and sit for hours, reading them and trying to understand why the contents were so difficult to understand: and it was not until her that first introduced her to codes.
Leaving Sudan to come to the United States for the sake of a better education wasn't easy; and it was made even more difficult by those who made Selma feel as if she was not welcome. Selma remembers the time when she was on her way to visit UC Berkeley when an old, homeless man threw leftover food at her and shouted "You do not belong here; go back to where you came from." It wasn't the first time that Selma was victimized by such hate speech; however, she was so mad this particular day that she went home and started to cry as she wanted to go back to her country. Having given the incident some additional thought, she decided that these kinds of challenges made her stronger and more determined to reach her goal of getting an education
Selma is well on her way to accomplishing her goal. She will graduate Spring 2014 with a 3.86 grade point average from College of Alameda with an AS degree in Mathematics. She has been accepted at UC Berkeley, UC Irvine, UC Davis, San Francisco State, San Jose State and CSU East Bay. Once she decides where she will transfer she will pursue a BS degree in Software Engineering. Selma is the recipient of several scholarships and recently was awarded the Loretta Hernandez Scholarship. When asked about her accomplishments, Selma responds "I am proud that I came this far in achieving my goals, and I will not quit now. I value education, for it is the only chance I have, and that is why no one who has lived an easy life will understand what it is like to make your way to the top with the only chance you have: education."
Selma lives in Oakland and she and her friend are using technology in hopes of making people in Oakland aware of the situations happening around them and how it affects them and their children by giving them access to the information that has posted on the website that they are building. The project's goal is to inform people about the violence and encourage them to help us hold meetings and committees to take actions to stop the violence. Selma indicated that "being a part of this project taught me how to be responsible for my community and help others, and with this project, I will strengthen my skills and help my community at the same time."

They're not a real band, but I think you get the idea.
The biggest change in 2012 for me was the rise of Bandcamp and Soundcloud. Sure, I still bought plenty of music from Amazon or Google, but an increasing amount of the stuff I picked up came from the individual himself. I mean, why would I expect the Fez soundtrack to occupy a spot in Amazon's mp3 store? Thanks to Bandcamp, I can just pick it up almost directly from the artist.
2012 also marked the year that genre walls were officially smashed for me. I think the only stuff I can't really tolerate is noise metal. Just about everything else can penetrate my cold, black heart and move me to sing and dance.
I certainly never would have guessed that I'd be listening to so much hip hop and R&B back when I started this blog in 2008. It was all punk, rock, and ska, but now I cast a much wider net.
Top Artists of 2012
1. The Beatles (409)
This has been a mainstay of every list since the catalog re-release back in 2009. There's not really much more to say about how incredible this band is so I'll instead comment on the fact that I listened to them ~1,100 fewer times this year than last. I really spread out my music time this year…
2. The Weeknd (333)
I can't remember what month it was when I discovered the trio of mixtapes just waiting for me online, but I will say that The Weeknd opened my eyes to R&B in a way I would have thought impossible. Without him I guarantee you that Frank Ocean would not be on this list. Everything about his music is simultaneously sleazy and sexy and so wrong it almost feels right. "High For This", "Wicked Games", and "House of Balloons/Glass Table Girls" are all stunners.
3. Sambomaster (サンボマスター) (326)
Another mainstay ever since my Japan trip. My understanding of the lyrics approaches zero, but I feel like I understand everything Takeshi Yamaguchi is trying to say with that heartfelt, almost mournful, sandpapery voice. As cheesy as it sounds, it speaks to my soul, man.
4. Frank Ocean (270)
Think about this: I didn't get channel ORANGE until November. Everybody's talking about this record, I know, but allow me to say that Ocean penned and crooned the best album of the year. Nothing tops this in 2012, guys. Nothing.
5. Jonathan Coulton (269)
Some people would have you believe that Coulton is a novelty singer best enjoyed in small doses. Some people are wrong. Coulton's earlier work may lean on a geeky, nerdy motif, but, like I said last year, Artificial Heart really takes him to a new level.
6. Disasterpiece (240)
I listened to a lot of game sountracks this year thanks to the ubiquity and ease of Bandcamp. Disasterpiece's moody, quasi-ambient work on Fez proved spooky, lonely, and mournful while also igniting that spark for adventure. It's all synth-y, but the notes never feel quite right, which is pretty much what Fez is all about.
7. Yoko Kanno (202)
I bet you're thinking that this is all Cowboy Bebop music. You'd be wrong. Kanno's work on the jazz tunes in Kids on the Slope opened my eyes to a genre I'd ignored for most of my life. That medley in the culture festival? Pure. Magic.
8. George & Jonathan (184)
One of their tunes was the theme to Polygon's podcast, The Besties, and the album, Beautiful Lifestyle, struck just the right balance of playful and fun without getting obnoxious.
9. Regina Spektor (152)
I fell for What We Saw from the Cheap Seats as hard as a person could for an album. "All the Rowboats", "Firewood", and "How" are all so stunningly beautiful that I want to be listening to them right now…In fact, I think I'll go put them on.
10. Rodrigo y Gabriela (151)
The first entry that confuses me about being on this list. I still dig their stuff, but I don't really remember listening to it that much this year.
11. The Civil Wars (136)
I'm really worried about the state of this band now that they've canceled their tours. What will I do without Joy Williams' beautiful voice? I hope they figure it out.
12. Kanye West (129)
The current king of hip hop, as far as I'm concerned. Yeezy goes big. Even though I haven't loved his collab stuff as much as My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, I can't help but come back to this guy time and time again.
13. Fall Out Boy (126)
So few bands know how to craft a tune as instantly catchy as these guys. Too bad they broke up.
14. Eirik Suhrke (119)
You may be wondering who this guy is. He did the music for Spelunky, a genius take on the Mega Drive soundchip that gives me that extra push to hit retry on the off chance that I get that sweet sax tune in the Ice Caves.
15. Tsunku (つんく♂) (114)
If I had properly tagged my Rhythm Heaven Fever music earlier in the year this number would be much higher. Academically I understand why other people might not love all the music in Rhythm Heaven, but in my heart I can't understand why any awesome person would hate it.
16. Childish Gambino (113)
Part of that hip hop kick this year. Donald Glover is pretty awesome.
17. Nintendo (98)
You know what? I think that this 98 is supposed to be added to the Tsunku tally above. Hear that, Tsunku? You should be 7th.
17. Jim Guthrie (98)
The composer to the Superbrothers soundtrack knows how to make a sweet groove. Seriously, go check it out.
19. OK Go (97)
"Needing/Getting" will always be a favorite of mine because I'm a hopeless romantic (emphasis on hopeless).
20. Jasper Byrne (95)
The Lone Survivor soundtrack is responsible for this play count. It was equal parts creepy and beautiful and I couldn't stay away last winter/spring.
21. Alex Cuba (91)
Man, that afro is cool, isn't it? There's a clarity and richness to his voice that soothes me and makes me feel funky.
22. Hannibal Buress (88)
Is your name really Hannibal? These plays are thanks to two of my favorite stand-up albums that I got this year. That Buress dude is pretty funny, y'all.
22. Ana Tijoux (88)
Saw her live this year. That was awesome. Her ability to spit rhymes in Spanish is mind boggling to me.
24. Juan Luis Guerra (85)
I wonder what percentage of these come from "Niagara en bicicleta"? (Answer: ~26%)
25. Kendrick Lamar (84)
I picked up good kid, m.A.A.d city at the same time (or close to it) as channel ORANGE and figured that it would definitely win, play-wise. Didn't quite go like that, but trust that Kendrick Lamar's rhymes are equally awesome. Definitely check out that disc.
Top 10 Tracks of 2012
1. The Weeknd – "House of Balloons/Glass Table Girls" (23)
It all sounds so drug-addled and sexy, but in a dirty way. This was the first track I heard by The Weeknd and the rest is history.
2. Juan Luis Guerra – "El Niagara en bicicleta" (22)
Quite possibly my favorite song ever? I honestly have no idea how it didn't make the list last year.
3. George & Jonathan – "Little Marcus" (21)
The aforementioned former theme to The Besties. It doesn't overstay its welcome and it's super pleasant. A great little tune.
4. Carla Morrison – "Compartir" (20)
I would have expected "Una salida" to have this spot, but this is also a fantastic love song by a beautiful vocalist. Carla Morrison has this sweet, delicate voice that just breaks your heart while you listen to her. I absolutely love her and this song.
4. Neon Indian – "Polish Girl" (20)
I think I own two Neon Indian songs, but this chillwave track puts me in a spaced out place where I can't not love it. Put a gun to my head and I wouldn't be able to describe what makes this song so special, but I think it really does speak for itself.
6. Regina Spektor – "Small Town Moon" (19)
It probably ended up with the most plays by virtue of being the first track on her new album, but "Small Town Moon" is no slouch. It perfectly sets the mood for a thoughtful, beautiful album.
6. George & Jonathan – "Street Monsters" (19)
There's really no good explanation for how this track got up here. It's funky and it's quick and I guess it got lucky compared to the rest of the album.
6. Frank Ocean – "Bad Religion", "Pilot Jones", & "Pyramids" (19)
And the list closes out with my three favorite tracks from channel ORANGE. All three of these are perfect in their own way. Be it the soulful poetry of "Bad Religion", the simple hook of "Pilot Jones", or that sexy electrofunk of the first half of the epic "Pyramids", they all land so unbelievably perfectly on my ears that I'm shocked they're not higher up on the list.
French cinema, everyone! (Photo courtesy Screened.com)
Went on a date with an art student so I thought it would be most fitting to see a weird, French art flick. It…did not disappoint.
Holy Motors – There is no real way to summarize every weird thing that happens in this movie, but it's about a man who gets in a limousine every day and shows up in makeup and costumes in various places, acts out a scene, and then leaves. You got a little bit of everything, but my favorite was the scene where he killed a man, started to make the man look like him, and then that dead man killed him and assumed his role. That's the kind of movie this was. It was…odd.
Breaking Bad – How great is this show's table setting? Chekhov's Ricin, check. Putting Mike out of commission, check. Setting up the Tio meetings, check. Ted Beneke and his trip-prone rug, check. I didn't even notice until later that the pistol ended up pointing at the lily of the valley in the penultimate episode. Brilliant stuff. Now I need to watch the first half of season 5 somehow.
The Amazing Race – Definitely did not expect the Beekmans to win. So hooked on this show. Can't wait for the next race in Jan/Feb or whenever it returns.
New Girl – I thought the cranberry in the ear bit was hilarious! Not sure that I'm digging the character that they've got Olivia Munn playing, but…it's Olivia Munn. I can forgive it.
The Mindy Project – I love when Mindy gets people like Ellie Kemper to show up and really play against type. She was really funny in this episode.
Let's see…I listened to Channel Orange probably every night last week, but maybe you're all getting sick of Frank Ocean (I don't know how) so I'm gonna go with Kendrick Lamar's "Bitch Don't Kill My Vibe" off of good kid, m.A.A.d city
Man, I love that opening (also the chorus)
"I am a sinner who's probably gonna sin again
Lord forgive me, Lord forgive me
Things I don't understand
Sometimes I need to be alone"
It's also got a nice, old school type backing track.
A Confederacy of Dunces – Ignatius' treatise on the factory workers bordered on offensive, but I think that's supposed to be the point. Still not quite sure where the book is going, but I'm also not that deep into it, I guess. It's interesting.
The Revolution Was Televised – Pushed through the last few chapters until around 0200 on Saturday. Loved it. If you have any interest in tv and how it's hit its golden age, this is a great, relatively breezy read.
Video Games
XCOM: Enemy Unknown – Still kind of sore about having to start a new game, but I always dig this game. Gotta record a bunch of episodes this week to cover Christmas.
FTL – Actually got fairly far with the Mantis ship. I'm rather proud of myself for that.
999: Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors – Has kind of a Saw/survival horror vibe to it. So far the mysteries are coming in fast and hard and I think I made a questionable decision in abandoning Akane/June, but I think that I need to keep an eye on Snake and Seven and I wanted to check out the Ninth Man (although they didn't really let me). Very intriguing story, but this is a visual novel, folks, so if you want to try it be prepared to read and only occasionally solve puzzles.
Don't blink. Blink and you're dead. (Picture courtesy Rich Ford)
I got to share my favorite episode of Doctor Who with Min today. I'd forgotten how eerie and excellent that episode was. I mean, I literally shouted out loud in fear when one of the angels popped into view. Freaky stuff. Love that ep.
Not this week.
Breaking Bad – I don't know why I had such a long gap before where I wasn't watching this, but these past few episodes have been brilliant. Walter White is absolutely fascinating in his almost impotent villainy. I love how addicted he is to power and how much pride he has. Just brilliant stuff.
The Amazing Race – Up to the finale on the current season and that's been pretty exciting. I'm glad the twins didn't get eliminated as they're the funniest. On the S1 DVDs things are getting interesting. Team Guido is hilariously evil. It's awesome.
Parks and Recreation – Episodes revolving around Jerry are usually pretty awesome and this one did not disappoint. Tammy 2's ridiculous brand of evil sluttiness was gross AND hilarious. Not an easy bar to hit.
The Mindy Project – It seems like every week I'm saying, "The net critics don't like this, but I find it funny." Copy-paste that here.
New Girl – Another one that all the internet hated, but I thought was hilarious. The bathtub crashing through the ceiling and the Remy three-way callbacks? Brilliant.
Doctor Who – Started Min off with "Blink", but then I took him back to "Rose" to show a more typical episode. It's still mostly introducing stuff, but I think his interest in piqued.
Happy Endings – Man did Rob Corddry get away with saying some filthy things on network tv. Also the Penny thing was fairly predictable from her. Alex continues to be hilarious as always.
Glee – A week where I didn't want to just turn off the show for being aggressively stupid? Wow! That first Rachel number was stunningly good.
The League – Odd pacing and dropping of plot points make me think that there are big things afoot for the finale. Totally dug the lucha libre bit.
Childrens Hospital – Madonna episode: meh. Chief episode: better.
NTSF:SD:SUV:: – I don't think they did enough with the found footage conceit, but Alphonse's creepy Christmas song was amazing.
Saturday Night Live – I didn't get past weekend update, but Jamie Foxx was doing his thing ok. He seemed less comfortable that I thought he'd be considering how good he is in other stuff. Maybe live isn't his thing?
Just go listen to more Frank Ocean. Channel Orange is Awesome.
A Confederacy of Dunces – At around the 100 page mark. I feel like I've met all the principals and now it's time to see where this farce is headed.
The Revolution was Televised – Finished the chapters on The Sopranos and The Wire and I'm working on Deadwood. This tv backstory stuff is fascinating and I'm really digging all the analysis.
Sleeping Dogs – I like Wei Shen and I like the undercover cop conceit. It remains to be seen how deep the story gets and if it'll allow for character depth or go the GTA IV route where, regardless of how serious the main guy claims to be, every one else is a cartoon.
The Old Republic – Just got Vette, but we sadly haven't had much interaction at all. Seems like a dropped ball so far, but, then again, my character has only just gotten license to head to Dromund Kaas.
XCOM: Enemy Unknown – A power issue (perhaps related to SLI-ing my cards) caused save file corruption on my main game. I might have to restart and that's heartbreaking. We'll see if the forums come through for me or not.
FTL – I'm getting much better at this game, but I still haven't gotten the hang of Mantis B. Racking up wins with other ships though.
Which is the greater monument: the movie or the…monument? (Photo by MarkusR)
Four score and seven seconds ago I started trying to come up with a clever line to write here. As you can see, I failed.
Lincoln – I've talked to lots of people about this movie and it's one I feel better about recommending the more I think about it. Sure, Lincoln himself may or may not have been as epic a figure as the movie makes him out to be (dude is like a god in this picture), but the political intrigue and heist-like nature of the vote makes for good cinema. Now if only it didn't feel quite so awkward to have all these great white men saving black men…
The Amazing Race – Watched Abby and Ryan get eliminated from their race in Amsterdam. That was brutal to see them so badly screwed over by flight issues, but they were pretty unpleasant, so…Having enemies makes for good reality tv, right? Now what do we have…I also watched the first three episodes of the first season. Holy cow are there plenty of highly unlikeable folks in that…
New Girl – Sure seems like a lot of shows are addressing the late pregnancy thing. I wonder why that's all in the zeitgeist right now…or maybe I'm just of an age where I notice it more?
Parks and Recreation – The sight gag with the balloon Leslie and Ben was brilliant. I really love Eagleton episodes.
The League – Not the most exciting or adventurous episode, but I definitely dug the way the guy in the wheelchair was obsessed with his legs.
Homeland – Didn't see last night's, but the one where they took down the terrorist cell at the cafe had me thinking that the show was playing its hand too early. I can't even imagine what the next three episodes will bring for the show, especially now that they've revealed that the CIA's end goal is to murder Brody once his usefulness is up.
The Mindy Project – I really do think this show is on the upswing. Mindy Kaling is probably the funniest person on screen most of the time and the Morgan and Danny characters are also very funny. The rest of the cast is still growing on me.
Glee – I found myself saying (multiple times, mind you), "This is the dumbest shit I've ever seen" during the past two week's episodes. Guys, "Gangnam Style" is played out and, worse, Marley's got to be some kind of idiot to think that her body is getting bigger in the span of days. It's dumb and it feels like a setup for all those "very special" episodes Ryan Murphy loves to do on Glee.
NTSF:SD:SUV:: – Alan Tudyk, Alison Brie, and Jake Johnson? Fantastic two episodes. I loved 'em.
Childrens Hospital – Wow, I really didn't remember the 28 Days Later amnesia spoof. My memory of this show is apparently very vague.
How I Met Your Mother – I dug the dance sequence in the S7 opener. Glad Netflix finally has it.
Been listening to a lot of Channel Orange. "Bad Religion" is one of my favorite tracks
Frank Ocean's pretty good. Check him out.
The Revolution Was Televised – Alan Sepinwall's book on the way that tv's been changing and evolving has been pretty interesting so far. I'm still in the proto-stages where he talks about the precursor shows and the first real new drama, Oz. Seems very cool.
A Confederacy of Dunces – Ignatius is growing on me. I dig the way that he's sabotaging Levy Pants.
Nintendo Land – Played for hours at Ian/Morghan's place. Hadn't realized that the coop games require Wii Motion Plus, but I forgot my adapters. The other games were super fun though. Definitely a great multi game. Hopefully I get to play some with Eric and Danielle too, but there's always Christmas.
Donkey Kong Country Returns – I don't think it's as good as the old SNES games, but it's got some nostalgic music and I'll keep checking it out.
XCOM: Enemy Unknown – Got back into the recording game. Lots of fun even though my rust caused some terrible performance.
FTL: Faster Than Light – I nearly killed David with laughter over my terrible Mantis B gameplay. Lots of fun.
New Super Mario Bros. U – Acorn Plains was too easy and they sure seem to distribute a ton of item blocks, but I've been having lots of fun playing with Min. We've quickly gotten back into our wii habits. Lots of fun.
Sleeping Dogs – I didn't realize that my files had been corrupted, but that provided about an hour of frustration until I tried that and realized I had to redownload files. So far it seems pretty cool. Can't wait to see how the story develops.
Team Fortress 2 – Got rolled in a few rounds with Lee. Lots of fun, but I was doing pretty poorly.
The Old Republic – Started working on my Sith Warrior because I was thinking the Vette relationship would be neat. Locking quick bars for F2P for non-subscribers is weak, by the way. Bad move, guys.
To the Moon – A quick four hour game/interactive fiction. I was led to believe that it was more incredible than it was, but perhaps that's just in the pre-Walking Dead world of games. The story is good, mind you, and quite funny in places, but it's not going to win any awards or terribly surprise you. Not a terrible way to spend four hours, but I wouldn't expect anything mind-blowing.
