Aug. 19, 2007 - U.S. Northern Command officials are closely monitoring Hurricane Dean's progress and continue to respond to requests for Defense Department support in preparation for landfall.  At 11 a.m. Eastern Time today, the Category 4 storm was heading toward the Caribbean island of Jamaica with maximum sustained winds of 145 mph. It's expected to make landfall on Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula early Tuesday.

 

NORTHCOM has deployed the following personnel to support the federal response:

 

-- The Region X defense coordinating officer and six-person defense coordinating element has deployed to Louisiana at the request of the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

 

-- The Region VI DCO and six-person DCE deployed to Texas at FEMA's request prior to landfall of Tropical Storm Erin remains on-site.

 

-- A 17-person team from Standing Joint Forces Headquarters North is deployed to Texas to support the Region VI DCO and Army North.

 

-- An eight-person global patient management team from U.S. Transportation Command will help coordinate aeromedical evacuation efforts, if needed.

 

-- A joint interagency air-ground coordination team from Air Force Northern deployed at FEMA's request to assist FEMA and the Texas Emergency Operations Center and to help with aeromedical evacuation and search and rescue efforts, if needed.

 

-- The Region II DCO and DCE deployed to the Caribbean on Aug. 15, where they are supporting an advance FEMA emergency response team in Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands.

 

Should active-duty forces be requested to respond, the regional DCOs will provide their command and control and will facilitate requests for any additional Defense Department support through NORTHCOM.

 

Senior NORTHCOM officials said they are coordinating with FEMA, the Department of Homeland Security and the National Guard to ensure full situational awareness and appropriate response posture to Hurricane Dean.

 

NORTHCOM supports primary response agencies, as directed, as part of a comprehensive national response to manage consequences of natural or man-made disasters. The command also conducts operations to deter, prevent, and defeat threats and aggression aimed at the United States, its territories, and interests.

WOW!  I could have been Dean of Admissions at MIT!  

Oli is the girl who does the office.

 

She comes in every Thursdays, and gets paid twenty-five dollars.

 

She was telling me today (this morning actually) how her boy-friend Dean bashed her up on Saturday.

 

Oli's 10-year old daughter, Julian, had gone to Oli's sister' place for the week-end, and Oli took some clothes there on Saturday. Anyway, on her way back to her flat, Dean, got hold of her and started beating her right there on the road.

He stomped on her (he was wearing work boots), and dragged her to the house.

 

She showed me the bruises on the skin. She did not go to the hospital, but with the help of one of the women from her church (LDS), she reported the matter to the authorities, and just when she finished telling me of the incident, she got a call from the friend telling her that Dean was apprehended last night and is now in the station cell! WOW!

 

But Oli is scared that he will come after her when he's released. Apparently this is not the first time he's beaten her up. She's reported the matter four time, and four times she cancelled, because she 'always feels sorry for him'!

 

I do not know what would make a hard-working woman such as Oli put up with a bully like Dean! For that is what he is. A bully. Oli is shorter than me (I'm five-foot-three), and according to her, Dean is tall and skinny.

 

Bully! Bully! Bully! Shame on him!

 

But now I'm scared that Oli might do something stupid like visit him at the police station.

 

I hope that she stays strong!
