AP | Younger vets still struggling to find jobs despite improvements
The unemployment rate for veterans between 18 and 24 exceeded 20 percent last year. It was also in double digits for those 25-34. The unemployment rate for both age groups was higher than for their non-veteran peers and much higher than the national average. The job problems for younger vets have continued despite a wide range of private and public efforts. Comment: Significant gains in veteran's employment are more likely if the overall economy improves.
New York Times | Chinese Army Unit is seen tied to Hacking Against U.S.
In recent years the Chinese attacks have grown significantly, security researchers say, detecting more than 140 intrusions since 2006. Officials at the Chinese embassy in Washington again insisted that their government does not engage in computer hacking.
Richmond Times | Op-Ed | With spending & no budget, Washington is adrift
Welcome to the world of 21st century defense cuts, in which horrendously managed budget reductions are hamstringing our military's mission-readiness. Having served in the U.S. military, I'm concerned that it's only going to get worse. Comment: Tim Nank is the Virginia field director for Concerned Veterans for America

In case you didn't know...A Must Read!!
I am confident that I don't know anyone who would want to help George Soros so I am forwarding this info! Checked Snopes and Truth or Fiction......both verify the donations.
The "Harley Owners Group", the biggest motorcycle club in America, maybe even the world, hasn't found any members that have Progressive Insurance since the word got out about Progressives communist affiliations. Just being associated with George Soros should bring chills up your back. Oh, you don't know who George Soros is? He finances the Obama progressive affiliations.
Progressive Insurance....Who are they? You've seen and probably smiled at the clever Progressive Insurance TV commercials. Well, as Paul Harvey would say, "You're about to learn the rest of the story".
PROGRESSIVE AUTO INSURANCE
You know their TV commercials, the ones featuring the ditsy actress all dressed in white. What you might not know is that the Chairman of Progressive is Peter Lewis, one of the major funders of leftist causes in America.
Between 2001 and 2003, Lewis funneled $15 million to the ACLU, the group most responsible for destroying what's left of Americas Judeo-Christian heritage.
Lewis also gave $12.5 million to MoveOn.org
His funding for these groups was conditional on matching contributions from George Soros, the America-hating socialist who is the chief financier of the Obama political machine.
Lewis made a fortune as a result of capitalism, but now finances a progressive movement that threatens to destroy the American free enterprise system that is targeting television shows on Fox News. Peter Lewis is making a fortune off of conservative Americans (who buy his auto insurance) that he then applies to dismantle the very system that made him wealthy. He's banking on no one finding out who he is, so STOP buying Progressive Insurance and pass this information on to all your friends. Chairman Lewis' gift helps the ACLU promote their anti-Christmas agenda such as:
§ Removing nativity scenes from public property
§ Banning songs such as Silent Night from schools
§ Refusing to allow students to write about the Christian aspect of Christmas in school projects
§ Renaming Christmas break Winter break
§ Refusing to allow a city sponsored Christmas parade to be called a Christmas parade
§ Not allowing a Christmas tree in a public school
§ Renaming a Christmas tree displayed on public property a Holiday tree In addition to their war on Christmas, the ACLU uses gifts like that from Chairman Lewis to:
§ Sue states to force them to legalize homosexual marriage
§ Force libraries to remove porn filters from their computers
§ Sue the Boy Scouts to force them to accept homosexuals as scout leaders
§ Help legalize child pornography
§ Legalize live sex acts in bars in Oregon
§ Protect the North American Man Boy Love Association whose motto is "sex by eight or it is too late"
§ Censor student led prayer at graduation
§ Remove "under God" from the Pledge of Allegiance
§ Remove "In God We Trust" on our currency

All of a sudden I don't care for their "funny commercials".

Hole under the door lock "THIS IS AN IMPORTANT READ!"
p.s. Snopes verifies the thrust of this article is true, although they go on to question the description of certain follow-up techniques purportedly used by robbers after the initial break-in. Bottom line: Read the article and be aware.
Hole Under Door Lock
Wednesday, I approached my truck from the passenger side to place
my computer bag (aka my man purse) in the front passenger seat.
As I reached to open the door I noticed there was a hole right
under my door handle.
My first thought was, "someone has shot my truck !"
I began to think about it and inspect it a little closer and
the "light" slowly began to come on.
I phoned my friend who owns a body shop and asked if he had any
vehicles with damage to the doors that looked like a bullet hole.
"Yes, I see it all the time. Thieves have a punch and place it
right under the door handle, knock a hole through, reach in and
unlock it, just as if they have a key. No alarms, broken glass,
or anything."
I then placed a call to my insurance agent and explained it to
him. I was puzzled that they left my GPS and all other belongings.
Here is where it gets scary !
"Oh no, he said, they want the break-in to be so subtle that you
don't even realize it. They look at your GPS to see where "home"
is. Or check your address from Insurance and Registration in your glove box. Now, they know what you drive, go to your home, and if your
vehicle isn't there they assume you aren't and break into your home."
He said they will even leave a purse or wallet and only take one
or two credit cards. By the time you realize there has been a
theft, they may have already had a couple of days or more to
use them.
(I didn't realize my situation for two full days!)
They even give you the courtesy of re-locking your doors for you.
Periodically, walk around your car, especially after you park
in a shopping center or other large parking area.
Report thefts immediately....your bank w/missing check numbers,
your credit card agencies, police, and insurance companies, etc.
Below is picture of what the hole looks like.
Hole Under Door Lock
One would have to look pretty darn close to notice a hole like that. If the hole was on the passenger side I would never see.

Had to share this one. Female golden Lab with a little Downs Syndrome boy
who has likely never seen a dog up close before.
The dog is so gentle & keeps trying to engage the child. What a beautiful
animal! If you only see one e-mail this week - hope this is the one.
