About the Healthy Smiles Program
Since 1994, the Healthy Smiles by Direct Relief has provided free dental treatment to 1,800 low-income, uninsured school-age children with severe need. Sponsored by Healthy Smiles, one-day free clinics are hosted by local dentists and Healthy Start programs throughout Santa Barbara County.
This free-clinic event was hosted by Dr. Samuel Burg and was staffed by volunteer dentists and hygienists who provided dental care and education to over 60 children that day.
Receiving services are low-income, uninsured children identified by their schools as needing professional dental care that they would not have been able to receive without the program.
Additionally, children received Dental Packs – toothbrushes, toothpaste and floss – that were donated by multiple healthcare manufacturers to Direct Relief and packed by volunteers at Direct Relief. For some families, event the cost of a toothbrush is too much and children go without. These donated products ensure that children can continue the good oral hygiene practices they learn during their free clinic visitl.
Each year, Direct Relief distributes approximately 1,000 child dental kits and 3,400 family dental kits (each of which serves a family of five) with donated dental supplies, which Direct Relief then allocates to their local partner agencies. These agencies distribute the dental kits to the low-income children and families whom they already serve

The fall 2012 hackNY student hackathon brought in hundreds of students to NYU's Courant Institute for 24 hours of creative collaborative hacking on New York City startups' APIs.
NYC Startups, selected by a student organizing committee, presented their technologies at the beginning of the event, after which students formed groups to work through the night implementing their own ideas for fresh hacks built on top of these APIs.
On Sunday afternoon students presented their projects to an audience including a judging panel featuring members of the NYC startup community, which selected the final winning teams.
Since April 2010, hackNY hosts student hackathons one each semester, as well as the hackNY Fellows program, a structured internship which pairs quantitative and computational students with startups which can demonstrate a strong mentoring environment: a problem for a student to work on, a person to mentor them, and a place for them to work. Startups selected to host a student compensate student Fellows. Students enjoy free housing together and a pedagogical lecture series to introduce them to the ins and outs of joining and founding a startup in NYC.

TOKYO – When Army Maj. Gen. James F. Pasquarette assumed command of U.S. Army Japan (USARJ) July 8, 2015, he immediately took initiative to personally meet the troops under his command as well as key leaders from his host nation partners.
Pasquarette's tour of his area of responsibility began in earnest when he and members of his staff boarded a UH-60 Blackhawk helicopter July 10 from Camp Zama, Japan. Flying hundreds of feet above the congested highways at sometimes at level with Japan's sea of skyscrapers, Pasquarette acquired a bird's eye view of the American and Japanese military installations scattered among the urban jungle.
“We overflew Sagami General Depot, Yokohama North Dock and Hardy Barracks, said Milton Jackson, garrison manager at Camp Zama. “Our new commander now has clearer picture of the facilities, equipment and watercraft managed by the Army, and he can better understand where and how these individual installations interact with one another.”
According to Jackson, the USARJ primary mission comprises the rapid deployment of troops and materiel from one theater to another. As the Army's largest logistical hub in Asia, the command must maintain a streamlined sustainment system capable of moving thousands of tons of supplies and equipment via land and sea.
“Sagami Depot has rolling stock and Yokohama North Dock has watercraft,” said Jackson. “We must overcome the challenges posed by Japan's dense population centers by developing methods that rapidly move and load stock onto our watercraft so that we may better project our presence in the Pacific. Fortunately, our Japanese allies are willing to support us if a major threat or disaster called for a sudden mass movement.”
After a brief stop at Yokota Air Base to meet with Air Force Gen. John L. Dolan, commanding general, U.S. Force Japan, Pasquarette touched down near the heart of Tokyo where members of America's staunchest allies welcomed him with the pomp and circumstance befitting a general.
“On behalf of the JGSDF (Japan Ground Self-Defense Force), welcome to Japan,” said Gen. Kiyofumi Iwata, chief of staff, JGSDF, to Pasquarette after the two commanders sat in a decorative conference room inside Japan's Ministry of Defense. “We look forward to continuing our dialog of bilateral coordination between our two countries as JGSDF pursues its transformation into a dynamic joint defense force.”
The dialog consisted of one-on-one conversations with not only Iwata but also Adm. Katsutoshi Kawano, chief of staff, Japan Self-Defense Force, and Hideshi Tokuchi, vice minister of international affairs, Japan Ministry of Defense. The four men discussed previous achievements, current operations and potential challenges facing their respective commands and presented ideas on how to strengthen interoperability among their forces through combined training exercises and expanded service member exchange programs.
“We currently have several dozen JSDF service members embedded with [U.S. military] units,” said Pasquarette. “I believe extending this program so that our Soldiers can work within the JGSDF will further enhance our partnership.”
Pasquarette also ensured his hosts that the United States Army remains committed to its allies in the Pacific despite looming force reductions and ongoing operations in Europe and the Middle East.
“The Army recently announced that it will cut the number of troops in the active component from 450,000 to about 410,000,” said Pasquarette. “This rebalance of the force has no effect on our strength and readiness in the Pacific. Our alliance is more important than ever. That's why we're keeping our best trained and best equipped Soldiers in Japan and Korea.”
After a two-hour visit that started with with a JSDF band playing “The Star-Spangled Banner” and ended with a warm exchange of plaques and handshakes, Pasquarette and his team boarded a helicopter bound for Camp Zama.
“I have worked extensively throughout the Pacific during my Army career,” said the former armor officer and chief of staff of U.S. Army Pacific. “The JSDF consists of some of the world's most capable and professional men and women in uniform. I look forward to building stronger relationships with them and become a valuable partner in its transformation."

FREDONIA, N.Y. -- New York Army National Guard Sgt. Pamela Daigle (left) gives Nicole Joiner (right) a ticket for a free disaster and emergency response starter kit during a session of New York Governor Andrew Cuomo's Citizen Preparedness Corps Training Program at the State University of New York at Fredonia here on April 24, 2014. New York National Guard troops gave disaster and emergency training to about 200 people who attended the event. The program is designed to give citizens the knowledge and tools to prepare for emergencies and disasters, respond accordingly, and recover as quickly as possible to pre-disaster conditions. New York National Guard troops, working with experts from the Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services, Office of Fire Prevention and Control, and local emergency management personnel will conduct future training sessions with the goal of teaching approximately 100,000 New Yorkers during 2014. Each starter kit contains a first-aid kit, face mask, pocket radio with batteries, food bars, emergency blanket and other key items to help citizens in the immediate aftermath of a disaster. Joiner is a resident of Dunkirk, N.Y. and Daigle, of Granville, N.Y. belongs to the 427th Brigade Support Battalion.

Living history group educates and enlightens
By Dave Palmer
LOS ANGELES — To honor the contributions of American Indians and Alaska Natives the Los Angeles District headquarters was host to a one-hour program on Nov. 21. Chief of Security and Law Enforcement Sgt. Maj. Jeffrey Koontz welcomed a living history group and read a National American Indian Heritage Month letter signed by Secretary of the Army John McHugh, Chief of Staff Gen. Raymond T. Odierno and Sgt. Maj. of the Army Raymond F. Chandler III that begins, "We are honored
to recognize the outstanding contributions American Indians have made to our Nation and our Army."
Koontz then introduced key-note speaker Edward Nunez from the group “Journeys to the Past.” He was accompanied by his son Jackson Tahuka, daughter-in-law Morning Dove and grandson Clinton whose tribal name is Turtle. California is home to
more than 100 Tribal Nations and that rich culture is the primary focus of their presentation.
In a key history lesson of the day, Nunez explained the family name his son is now using.
"He (Nunez's father) had left home at 16, joined the Army and served in the Philippines during WWII. When he got out of the military he found it very difficult to find a job, even though he was a veteran," said Nunez. "He adopted a Spanish surname, Nunes, which he later changed to Nunez."
Whether the name change made the difference or not, Nunez's father did land a job with Alcoa in Vernon, Calif., where he worked for 45 years. His father didn't share the name change story with the family until recently. At 90-years old, according to Nunez, he didn't want his living history to end.
Jackson and many of the younger family members are reverting to the family name, Tahuka. At 65, Nunez, has decided that it would be far too much paperwork to change effectively... including his own military record.
Nunez, a Seminole, is married to Jacque, an Acjachemen of southern California. Jackson performed in hand-made regalia representative of both parents' heritage. He played the flute and sang a traditional song accompanied by a gourd instrument common to this region. His wife then joined him for a performance of the "Prairie Chicken Dance" which has its origins in the Blackfoot Nation. Jackson described it as a "courting dance" that worked, proudly showing his wedding band.
The Journeys to the Past program enables the Tahuka-Nunez family to share their proud culture, "Just as importantly, we hope it inspires others to discover their own heritage," added Nunez.

I have to admit that I stole that line from Cyko9, it's genius. Also, I feel like I've unintentionally started a theme week of translucent figures--so I'm gonna just roll with it! Transparent figures 'till Christmas, yeah!

When I was perhaps four or five years younger than the kids shown here, my favorite television program was "The Man from U.N.C.L.E." For my viewers who either were not yet born in the mid-1960s or were too young to remember it, the popular but campy program ran for about four seasons and centered around a supersecret spy organization, whose nemesis was a diabolical international conspiracy known as THRUSH. The main characters were Napoleon Solo and Illya Kuryakin, played respectively by Robert Vaughn and David McCallum. This was at the height of the Cold War, and the superpowers were duly represented in the organization by Messrs. Solo and Kuryakin, the former being American and the latter Russian. Even at age 13, however, I always wondered how a Russian superspy managed to acquire a distinctly Scottish accent, but that question was never answered during the show's run, and besides, I never really cared what kind of accent Mr. Kuryakin had. If McCallum's character had been, say, a blond Mexican habitually speaking with a pronounced Japanese accent, that would have been even more implausible, but even with that, "The Man from U.N.C.L.E." would still have been the #1 staple in my Friday-evening TV lineup.
Solo was my favorite character, partly because I envied his charm, efficiency, and savoir faire, and partly because he always attracted the pretty girls and got to kiss one about once every two minutes or so. Naturally, I envied him for that, too. I wanted desperately to be like Mr. Solo, but never quite managed to duplicate his accomplishments, which seemed to come so naturally to him but definitely were not my own forte. To be quite honest about it, I have always been rather awkward socially, and in fact never kissed a girl until I was in college.
I thought of Mr. Solo as I was postprocessing this photograph, taken near the conclusion of Basha High School's performance of "The Musical Comedy Murders of 1940." Having attended the dress rehearsal three nights earlier, I knew this scene was coming and was ready for it, which was fortunate because it was actually very brief and not nearly as passionate as it appears to be. The play's hero, Eddie McCuen, is a wannabe comic who manages to save the day and get the girl, Nikki Crandall, who has been working covertly as a naval intelligence agent. The kids did a great job with the production, although with regard to this particular scene, I can't honestly say that I believe it would have done Mr. Solo proud. That was certainly no fault of the actors, but this was, after all, a high-school production, and the sensibilities of the school administration and other powers-that-be had to be taken into account in arranging the scene. But man, I wish I could have done this in one (or both) of the two stage productions in which I have participated! (It occurs to me as I compose these lines that Mr. Solo may have launched his own career as a super-smoocher during a high-school theatrical performance such as this one. That idea has even more plausibility because Solo was a fictional character, which presumably means we are at liberty to create our own details about his early life. But regardless of whether Napoleon Solo did any kissing as part of his high school thespian career, Nick, for his part, should feel greatly encouraged. He is an exceptionally talented actor, and down the road, I think we will be hearing more about him.)
I don't regard this as one of my better photos from this event, but if I were a betting man, I'd postulate that it will be well received by the participants in the play, as well as their classmates who witnessed the scene and expressed their approval with whoops, cheers, and catcalls.
