December 12th, 2014 CEO California Drought and the Super Storm Approaching

By David Stillwell
This week in the news there has been much discussion about the super storm approaching the Northern Coast of California. The coastal areas are expected to receive upwards of eight inches of rain while inland valley regions are expecting three to five inches of rain. Winds are also expected to be fierce with gusts between 60-80 miles per hour. If the wind speed is sustained, this will put this storm on par with a level 1 hurricane.
With the state in extreme drought conditions, the water is desperately needed. The problem is that dry land mixed with massive amounts of rain are likely to produce landslides. The environmental damage from this storm could be severe.

By David Stillwell
In an article in TIME by Mark Thompson, the details of the USS Ponce activities in the Persian Gulf emerge. In what is a first for the Navy and the US Military, an energy based weapon was successfully tested and in the process the face of war and national defence changed.
Growing up, laser weapons were a thing of comic books, and special effects from movies such as Star Wars. Today, the US Navy has stepped forward where others have not traveled and unleashed a new weapon that may make fighter jets obsolete.

Oops! The Skeletons have Fallen Out of Elizabeth Lauten’s Closet
December 5th, 2014 CEO 
By Debbie Edwards
He who points a finger at another has four pointing back at himself. Fingers are bad enough, but imagine dealing with the entire body. Once those skeletons fall out of the proverbial closet, the bones are tough to gather, and tougher to put back.
Former GOP Staffer Elizabeth Lauten can attest to this first hand. Certainly, everyone has read her tweet directed towards the Obama girls that was spurred on by what seemed to her as their lack of interest during the White House’s annual turkey pardoning. She chastised the girls, saying that should “show a little class and respect the part that (they) play” as First Daughters. She further chided them to dress like they deserve respect, not as if they were at a sports bar.
Speaking of sports bars……..

#Ferguson – When the Medicine Kills the Patient Rather than Cures the Disease

By David Stillwell
The death of Michael Brown seems to have become a focal point for many things, including the civil unrest. Does this have to be about blacks vs. whites? No, not really. Despite the premise that Michael’s death was racially motivated there seems to be more there about which people are not willing to talk.
What about how we live as people? Each a member of the family, that family a member of the community. It stands to reason then that how each of us lives our lives impacts the community in which we live. If you want to live in a better community, become better citizens. Yeah, easier said than done, but the premise is still there.
