***  From Carter Langston, ABC, 1stLT, USA:

 

Hi, Ned.  And “hello” to my friends/colleagues from the sun-kissed sands of Afghanistan.

 

I have a few public affairs jobs to share with the network.  Despite the confusing titles on a few of the jobs, these positions are about engaging key leaders and measuring communication effectiveness.  If I had the confidence that my wife and family wouldn't kill me for being away for another year, I would try to get one of these jobs myself.

Life in Afghanistan: Steak and Lobster night each week is nice, and the Beck's near beer teases the palate.  Late night walks in the cold to the nearest latrine stinks, but the men and women who fight the good fight against terrorism each day deserve every bit of the public affairs support that we're providing. 

 

If the community would be interested, I can provide a link to the “News of the Week from Afghanistan.” Let me know.

***  From Alysa Reich:

 

I just wanted to let you all know that there’s a position opening up here at AUVSI for a Communications Manager. The position is actually mine because I’m leaving at the end of this month to take a job that enables me to work from home full time. My 2+ hour commute and new baby were the deciding factors, but I’m still a little sad to go because it’s a great position and a great organization.

 

If you know of anyone who might be interested in the position please forward this to them and tell them to send their resume to my colleague Brett Davis at davis@auvsi.org. I’m happy to answer any questions about the position and can be reached after I leave AUVSI at alysareich@comcast.net. My last day will be December 23rd.

 

It’s been a pleasure getting to know many of you and I wish you all the best for a happy and healthy holiday season and a successful year ahead.

AUGUSTA, Ga. – A U.S. Marine reservist collecting toys for children was stabbed when he helped stop a suspected shoplifter ineastern Georgia.

Best Buy sales manager Orvin Smith told The Augusta Chronicle that man was seen on surveillance cameras Friday putting alaptop under his jacket at the Augusta store.

When confronted, the man became irate, knocked down an employee, pulled a knife and ran toward the door.   Outside were four Marines collecting toys for the service branch's Toys For Tots” program.
Smith said the Marines stopped the man, but he stabbed one of them, Cpl. Phillip Duggan, in the back. The cut did not appear to be severe.
The suspect was transported to the local hospital with two broken arms, a broken leg, possible broken ribs, assorted lacerations and bruises he obtained when he fell trying to run after stabbing the Marine.

The suspect, whose name was not released, was held until police arrived. The Richmond County Sheriff's office said it is investigating.

Pedro Orozco, 15, right, and Nick Tolomeo, 14, pf Brentsville District High School make adjustments to their robot  Friday at the SeaPerch underwater robotics competition at the Manassas Park Community Center.

Students from area high schools converged on the pool at the Manassas Park Community Center for the SeaPerch Challenge Friday and brought their underwater robots along.

Denyse Carroll, Prince William County regional STEM — or Science Technology Engineering and Math coordinator —  said the SeaPerch program had its origins  as collaboration between the Office of Naval Research, the Society of Naval and Marine Engineers and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

The program is designed to teach the students teamwork, as well as engineering and science, and includes  classroom work on research papers, innovative robot design, note taking and logo design.

“We’re hoping that we’re creating the next set of engineers or inspiring kids to think about a career that might be something they weren’t aware of before,” Carroll said.

In the pool students had to prove their robots’ maneuverability, ability to pick up weighted rings and to work together with other teams in a relay, Carroll said.

This was the fourth year Prince William County students participated in the SeaPerch Challenge and the county has been chosen to host the nationals in 2012, Carroll said.

Jake Dement of Hylton High School, said he enjoyed the challenge

“I’ve never been to one of these before. It’s a great learning experience,” the 15-year-old said.

Brandyn Frazier of Stonewall Jackson High School said he appreciated the teachers helping out with the robotics and learned to work with others.

“I’m learning that teamwork is definitely important in SeaPerch,” the 17-year-old Frazier said. “It’s really hard to build one of these robots. It’s not as easy as it looks.”

“The teachers are really great for helping us do this,” Frazier said. “I’m really thankful that there’s teachers that care about us and that want to do stuff like this for us.”

Stonewall Jackson High School students Jasmine Glover and Carmen Quinteros also learned a lot at the challenge.

“I’ve never done this before. It’s fun. I’m learning a bunch about robots,” the 17-year-old Glover said.

Brian Eichas, an engineering teacher at Osbourn Park High School, said he hoped the exercise taught the students to think.

“The biggest thing is problem solving. We hope they get a better understanding of engineering, and math and science skill specifically,” he said.

Roughly 600 students on 150 teams from Prince William, Manassas and Manassas Park, along with Seton Senior High School, accepted the challenge, Carroll said.
