Signing on for acquisition was career's key leap of faith

By Mike Mountford, Indy Star

In my opinion, "big breaks" are a result of hard work and well-calculated risk-taking. I'm a hard worker. In high school, I focused on studying, expecting to attend the "best" university -- Georgetown. I also applied to Notre Dame, but with the assumption I'd never attend. Read More...

There is another difference, an invisible difference, that is the cause of lost or inconsistent reception and a new Federal Communications Commission (FCC) translator program.

It's the digital TV signal. Read More...

Free Laptops for our Military Families

Technology ... it has helped me survive this deployment!

When Hubby is not on "the road" and has his normal routine on base in the sand-box we regularly IM and chat via our web-cameras. There is just something about that 'good-night kiss', that "How was your day, honey?" conversation that ends my day on a very positive note! Hubby gets up extra early and I stay awake a little past my normal bedtime so that we can have face-to-face time together.

Alternatively, I can tell when Hubby is travelling because... well, he's not on the other end of my computer come 11pm. That next day I am a little more stressed, a little more ill-at-ease. It has made such an impact on me. He is on the other side of the world and still such an amazing piece of my life. (I'd say in many ways the ability to communicate with him like this has had a very positive-impact on our marriage.) Read More...

Laptops For Flat-Tops Laptop Contest

Soldiers in war-zones don’t always have that convenience and some can’t afford laptops , which can be a great window of communication with family members while “Down range”. Read More...

LapTops For FlatTops

I have two siblings who joined the Air Force, and a brother-in-law in the Army. I live in a country where others fight wars and conflicts that keep my family safe. My husband unknowingly got on the train on September 11th and entered NYC that fateful day.

I am grateful for the men and women serving in the armed forces. What better way to celebrate Good Friday, than to celebrate the GOOD these people do for all of us?

Military Wives Go the Extra Distance Imagine one of those serving was your Husband or your Wife. And how grateful you would be for email to communicate!
