U.S. President Joe Biden hoped to present a firm international response to Yemen's Houthi attacks on Red Sea shipping by launching a new maritime force, but a week after its launch many allies don't want to be associated with it, publicly, or at all. The
Pentagon says the force is a defensive coalition of more than 20 nations to ensure billions of dollars' worth of commerce can flow freely through a vital shipping chokepoint in Red Sea waters off Yemen. But nearly half of those countries have so far not come forward to acknowledge their contributions or allowed the U.S....

TUESDAY, Oct. 7, 2014 (HealthDay News) -- Every American over the age of 45 should be screened for both type 2 diabetes and prediabetes, a U.S. task force has recommended. "For
people with abnormal blood sugar, changes in their lifestyle, such as eating healthier and exercising more often, can help prevent or delay the onset of type 2 diabetes. The best way to do that is to participate in a program that supports these behaviors.

If an executive order from the president couldn’t get the job done, then the Obama administration might have to resort to other means when it comes to making illegal aliens feel at home in America. Since there are no greater issues facing the country right now, the Obama-appointed Task Force on 21st
Century Policing recommends severing ties between Homeland Security and local law enforcement authorities. “The U.S. Department of Homeland Security should terminate the use of state and local criminal justice system…to enforce civil immigration laws against civil and nonserious criminal offenders,” says the task force report.

The Justice Department should limit the types of cases it brings and more nonviolent criminals should be steered toward probation and away from prison, according to task force recommendations designed to cut the federal inmate count and save more than $5 billion. [...] The recommendations from the Charles Colson Task Force on
Federal Corrections provide concrete steps prosecutors, judges, prison officials and policymakers can take to reduce prison overcrowding and ease spending on a corrections system that's swelled in the last three decades as a result of harsh mandatory minimum sentences imposed on drug criminals. ...

ST. PAUL — (AP) State legislators are working on ways to better identify Minnesota residents who drive without auto insurance. Motorists
don't have to show proof of insurance when renewing a vehicle's registration. People who drive without insurance can lose their licenses and be fined about $300. The state has a law mandating insurance but doesn't have a meaningful verification system, said Sen. Susan Kent, who heads the uninsured motorist task force that is expected to come up with recommendations by Feb. 1. The committee has explored options ranging from increasing fines to seizing license plates of uninsured drivers. "There's...

De Blasio is shamelessly giving his wife a patronage job to raise her profile for a possible run for Brooklyn borough president. “This is political. I wish de Blasio would stop doing this,” said Democrat Councilman Robert Holden. “Let her win the Brooklyn borough presidency on her own merits.” McCray’s Task Force on Racial Inclusion and Equity is separate and apart...

VP Pence's abilities and experience are political, not managerial. FEMA

So Pence and the FEMA head should hire the best talent available in America to carry out the task force assignments. Possibly hire someone like Tim Cook to oversee everything. He would take a leave of absence from Apple to do this. Seasoned, experienced teams should be hired in at least these two vital areas. These teams should probably be hired intact from companies such as Apple, Microsoft and 3M. 1. Supply chain/manufacturing team to manage production/procurement...
