If it isn’t there’s no telling what kinds of mistakes can be made and the legacy for the family who is left with these types of problems can be very painful and expensive. ...

Even in the last five years changes in technology mean that we can go online to news sites like PBS Newshour or NPR, use Ustream live video, or catch up with what’s happening in the world using Twitter or other social media apps.  And it all becomes so very personal since we can use these tools at almost any time and place we choose through the use of mobile devices.   ... Tue, 08 Nov 2011 15:22:00 PST http://www.ksps.org/blog/one-last-thing/ I, like millions of other people, was so very sad upon hearing about the death of Steve Jobs. I’ve been an Apple devotee for many years … appreciative of not only the unique ability of Apple products to rise to the top of the tech world’s best, but also a love of what I perceive to be some of the most unique, clean and most creative design of Apple products. All the products as well as the branding came under the watch of Steve Jobs. ...

So I’ve been playing catch up on what’s news in Spokane these days; who’s who on the city council … mayor … police chief, sheriff and any number of other subjects including elections and such.  For the past few weeks we’ve been inundated with political ads and advertising pro and con on different initiatives on the upcoming ballot.

As we all know, the United States “officially” bans women from combat while the reality is that they already serve on the front lines alongside men. The ban is somewhat ridiculous since while women are not officially assigned to units which are likely to see combat, they can be “attached" to them and fight alongside men. ...
