Dan received a special award yesterday and I wanted to brag a little:) The paragraph on the award says:
Daniel D. Blodgett is presented the SUPERIOR CIVILIAN SERVICE AWARD for outstanding achievement while serving as an Operations Research Analyst, Data Science Division, United States Army Dugway Proving Ground, from September 2010 to December 2011. Mr. Blodgett instituted a new analytical methodology for the Department of Homeland Security biological detector test conducted at the West Desert Test Center, Dugway, Utah. This method utilized a Bayesian framework saving the customer hundreds of thousands of dollars by implementing efficient test methodologies, incorporating stopping points during testing so as to not test more than what was necessary, and providing same day analysis for making quick decisions. His efforts resulted in a $3M follow-on test for the Center. Mr. Blodgett's outstanding contributions and professionalism reflect great credit upon him, the United States Army Test and Evaluation Command, and the Department of the Army.

all of this from a brother who regulates grated-cheese consumption by his cutest sister! wowza! good job bro. such a smartie.
Wow! That's impressive! Is Danny single-handedly bringing down the national deficit and saving our country from attack? Seems like it.
Wow, very impressive. The government needs more people like him and we wouldn't have so many problems. Enough with the award and how much of those million dollars saved did they give to such a stellar dude?
I haven't checked this in a while...but Jason and I were both super impressed. Super Civilian. I am picturing Danny in super human costume with underwear on the outside. But he would have to wear some sort of nerdy something to signify his smartness (not that he's a nerd), like maybe a pocket protector and a few fancy pens...just ideas.
