FHP arrests Middleburg man in hit-and-run that killed man in wheelchair

The Florida Highway Patrol arrested a Middleburg man Tuesday in connection with a hit-and-run crash last week that killed a man in a wheelchair.
Christopher Michael Hovey Sr., 40, turned himself in to the authorities at the Clay County jail in Green Cove Springs, according to a news release from the FHP. Hovey told authorities he was involved in the Oct. 20 crash that killed Christopher Strickland.
Strickland, 32, was on his way to his house when a 2006 Mitsubishi Lancer struck him at around 10 p.m. while Strickland was crossing North Mimosa Avenue near Sesame Street in Middleburg. Strickland died Friday from his injuries, the news release said.
Hovey's 2006 Mitsubishi Lancer was taken by FHP as evidence, the news release said.
Hovey was charged with failure to remain at a crash involving a death. He was being held at the Clay County jail in lieu of $25,003 bond.

Pentax k 5 vs EM-5
Thanks for sharing your experience. I think that many people are too hung up on sensor size and performance alone. The NEX-7 looks like a great camera, but right now, the only lens that seems to do it justice is the 24mm f/1.8. If that's what you want to use: great. But if you want more, m4/3 is way more mature.
And in the end, like DPR say: the IQ difference between the OM-D and the best of APS-C is so small that it shouldn't be the main concern for choosing between APS-C and m4/3. If you really want a significant step up in IQ, go full frame.
And besides all this, the most important thing is still to make interesting pictures by composition, use of light, contrast, colours etc. That's what makes a photo successful in the end.

I have actually used the Pentax k5 and also the Nikon D7000 and many others. I wanted to have a smaller more portable system but did not want to sacrifice picture quality. I ended up purchasing both this Sony NEX seven and the Olympus OMD. I ended up purchasing the Sony with the kit lens, 18 to 200 and also the Zeiss 24 f1.8. I also have been lucky enough to have all the top micro 4/3 lenses including the Panasonic and Olympus Primes as well as the best zoom lenses. If I pixel Peep, I have to say that the Sony has slight edge in high ISO performance and the pictures look great due to better controlled of depth of field. I can also tell you that the Sony has better picture quality compared to the Pentax and Nikon to my eyes. What goes against the NEX system is limited lens choice. After thinking about this for almost 2 weeks, I decided that I will keep Sony Nex however a recent trip to Abu Dhabi changed my mind. I took the Olympus with the Panasonic 25 mm 1.4 lens and the 12-50 Kit lens.The pictures were nothing short stunning. I feel Olympus omd overall is better than most apsc sensor cameras. This is strictly my opinion.

Potty Training
Hi Mummies,
When is the best time for potty training? You think I can start training Ryden on her potty now that she's 19 months old? Will it cause any anxiety? One time she peed not wearing a diaper and she was so afraid that she cried. Since then I became worried so I stopped training her. How should I potty train correctly?

Coil Overs or 2"drop springs with coil Over Shocks only.
I have a 1955 BelAir 2 door sedan, 350 with a 4 speed. I read somewhere that you could use stock 2" drop springs with a coilover type shock and it would work great, I have also been told that if you buy a coilover shock and spring dont get the small block ones get the ones for a big block because they will hold car up better.
I have a 350 with 4 speed, just installed 500 CPP box, Tilt, Ididit, all new front end rebuild kit with 2 inch drop springs, my headers are Hooker Competition full length and they hang a little low, am not useing any type of drop spindals. I need to install some type of shock and also would like to add a stablizer bar front and back useing stock Control Arms with 2 inch offset contol Arm Cross Shafts. Any information will be appreciated.
I got mine from R&C for my Falcon you can adjust them up to 2" just by loosing two bolts they slide up and down pretty cool but the bolts can be hard to get to
Leroys 55 coil overs
Thanks, and I will check them out.

Sue Stickland
Grow your own carrots and you can choose from mini ones, round ones and ones that aren't even orange. For a bumper crop, just follow Sue Stickland's advice
When the most delicious berries are fresh off your own plants, why bother with the supermarket variety, asks Sue Stickland.
Oriental greens will give you salad well into autumn. Time to get sowing, says Sue Stickland.
Sue Stickland: I grew up eating spinach as a vegetable. These days it is more popular as a salad, and numerous new varieties have been bred to suit the supermarket baby-leaf packs.
Sue Stickland: What do you do with a glut of runner beans? I have already made my quota of chutney and am now foisting bulging bags on the neighbours.
Sue Stickland: Bay trees are expensive to buy, but try producing your own and you will understand why - they are difficult to propagate and slow to grow.
Sue Stickland: Once summer raspberries have delivered their sweet, juicy fruit, you should sort out the bristly tangle of canes.
Sue Stickland: Satisfying the thirst of tomatoes grown in pots or grow bags is quite an art.
Sue Stickland: Time is already running out for summer lettuces. To get good outdoor crops at the end of the season, you need to sow seeds now.
Sue Stickland: Mid-July is when you should thin out the tiny fruits on apple and pear trees.
Sue Stickland: Spring-sown parsley often struggles, but sow now and it's easier to get healthy plants.
Sue Stickland: We always think of carrots as orange, but red, yellow and purple varieties are now easy to find.
Sue Stickland: The beauty of globe artichokes is not just in their silver-grey leaves and dramatic stature, but in their ability to produce an early summer crop.
Sue Stickland: Although the common "pot" marjoram flourishes in my herb bed, I still sow a few seeds of the tender "sweet" marjoram each spring.
Sue Stickland: A deep mulch will also control annual weeds, making hoeing unnecessary.
Sue Stickland: It takes careful planning to accommodate pumpkins and winter squashes in a small garden.
Sue Stickland: Beer traps, pellets, barriers, torch-lit hunts ... none of these slug control methods works on my asparagus bed.
Sue Stickland: Seeds sown in early spring produce an abundance of healthy, succulent leaves, and you can quickly become hooked on their unique flavour.
Sue Stickland: Sunny days in April and May bring open the fruit blossom.
Sue Stickland: Clubroot disease is the curse of established allotment sites and many garden vegetable plots. It can lurk in the soil for years, and each summer will attack the 'greens'.
Sue Stickland: My conscience nags me at this time of year over the multipurpose compost I buy for raising vegetables from seed.
Sue Stickland: I don't blame anybody for not growing ordinary garden peas. The return is small for the amount of ground and time they take up.
Sue Stickland: Although keeping honeybees might be unrealistic, it is comparatively easy to attract solitary wild bees to any garden, and some species are really efficient workers.
Sue Stickland: Dried rosemary is no substitute for sprigs picked from the garden. They can be used like bay leaves in marinades or casseroles, or laid beneath meat or fish in the oven, and their pleasantly pungent flavour will slowly permeate the dish.

St. Clare of Assisi (1193-1253) was born of a noble family, twelve years after the birth of her famous townsman St. Francis, who had a major influence on her life. At the age of eighteen, Clare left home secretly and, with Francis' help, arranged to reside in a Benedictine convent. Her family's attempts to persuade her to return home were unsuccessful, and eventually she was joined by her sister (St. Agnes) and later by her widowed mother.
St. Francis established the three of them as the nucleus of a religious community for women and drew up a "way of life" for them, thus establishing the Order which became known as the "Poor Clares." In 1215 Pope Innocent III granted the Order the "privilege of property": permission to live wholly on alms, without any personal or communal property or revenue whatever. (This was a privilege Clare later had to defend against good-intentioned Church officials worried about the community's well-being.)
Clare was known as a great contemplative, and she provided able leadership for her community for some forty years. In spite of her own austere lifestyle, she urged others not to overdo their acts of penance, for "our bodies are not made of brass."
Clare had a deep spiritual friendship with St. Francis, whom she outlived by twenty-seven years. On her deathbed, Clare was heard to say to herself, "Go forth in peace, for you have followed the good road. Go forth without fear, for He Who created you has made you holy, has always protected you, and loves you as a mother. Blessed be You, my God, for having created me."

Appy preview: Twins aim to defend title06/18/2013 11:30 AM ET
By Bob Sutton / Special to MLB.com
After a brief hiatus, the Elizabethton Twins are back in a familiar role -- reigning champions.
Ray Smith has been Elizabethton's manager since 1987, directing the team to eight Appy League titles. Until last September, the Twins had been without a championship since 2008, a three-year gap that marked their longest drought since the 1990s.
The league begins its 68-game schedule Thursday night, and president Lee Landers said he intends to visit all 10 teams in the first 10 days of the season. He'll start at Elizabethton on Opening Night and visit 2012 runner-up Burlington Royals the day after.
Burlington's pursuit of a title -- after coming within an out of securing the crown last year before an extra-inning loss to Elizabethton -- will include an overhauled roster.
"I've replayed it a thousand times, and I would do a thousand different things," said manager Tommy Shields, who enters his second season with Burlington this year. "You have to move on."
The Royals welcome 19-year-old outfielder Desmond Henry, a 2011 fourth-round pick of the Rangers who was acquired in the trade for Tommy Hottovy, and catcher Chad Johnson, Kansas City's fifth-rounder last year.
Prospects descend on Bristol: The Bristol White Sox made a managerial change prior to the season as Mike Gellinger begins his first stint in Bristol. Three days before Opening Night, Bristol GM Mahlon Luttrell had yet to meet the new skipper.
"That's not unusual -- I never met Pete Rose Jr. until he got here," Luttrell said. "We've had email exchanges going back and forth. I feel like I know him."
Rose was the manager the past two seasons, but he's directing the Great Falls Voyagers of the Pioneer League this year. Bobby Magallanes was originally tabbed as Bristol's manager this season, but the White Sox decided to use him in other roles.
Gellinger will arrive from mini-camp in Arizona with the organization's top three selections from this year's Draft on the roster: shortstop Tim Anderson, right-hander Tyler Danish and center fielder Jacob May.
This comes on the heels of 2012 first-rounder Courtney Hawkins, currently patrolling the outfield for Class A Advanced Winston-Salem, playing parts of last season in Bristol. Luttrell said these assignments provide a good vibe around the club.
"We're thinking we're doing something right here," Luttrell said.
Look who's in charge: Concerns about the status of Kingsport seem to have faded with the New York Mets taking over operations of the club. The Tennessee city has been home to a Mets farm team every year since 1980 with the exception of 1983.
"A Major League club has some more resources to get things done sometimes," Landers said. "I think it was a win-win for everybody."
Other Appalachian League teams under direct operation of the parent team are the Danville Braves and Greeneville Astros.
Tinkering with the playoffs: The league has altered its four-team playoff set-up, preventing division rivals from meeting in the championship series. Landers said a proposal was made to have the division winners meet the runners-up from the same division in the semifinals.
"It was brought up by the Burlington club," Landers said, citing the uncertainty about where the championship series would begin. "We'll see how long it goes. It was brought up because you didn't know who [or where] you were going to play."
Under the new format, home-field advantage in the Finals will alternate each year. This season, Game 1 will be hosted by the West Division winner and move to the East Division site for Game 2 and, if necessary, Game 3.
Previously regular-season division winners met the runners-up from the opposite division in the opening round.
Last things last: Here's a look at some significant lasts around the Appalachian League.
Last season's championship: Elizabethton over Burlington in three games

The Converge Solver exports out additional quantitative information into various "*.out" files. The information contained within these .out files can be very useful in visualizing along with the fluid domain in EnSight, to quantify against other extracted values in EnSight, qualitative comparison, or just to easily visualize versus time in EnSight.
This very small/short routine was developed to work on the spray.out file which contains information regarding the spray computed by the solver (injection pressure, injected mass, spray penetration, etc). The routine reads the .out file, along with the user specified engine RPM (to calculate time in seconds), and places all of the values from the .out file into EnSight Queries.
The User Defined Tool should appear as :
The user simply needs to specify the Converge .out file, along with the Engine RPM, so that the routine can correctly tie the query with time.
Once executed, you should see a number of additional queries within EnSight. The name of the Query is taken from the .out file, along with the units. Each query is associated with "Time" in seconds, and should therefore play correctly and appropriately within EnSight, as well as synchronizing with the timesteps of the main dataset.
The resulting Queries can easily be plotted with the Right Mouse Button, or drag/drop onto current plotters. Query-on-query operations can also be performed to further inspect rate of change, comparisons (differences between queries).
You can download the current User Defined Tool here. Once downloaded, unzip the file, and place the contents into your .ensight100/extensions/user_defined/Tools/ directory, and restart EnSight.

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. – The NAU swimming & diving team won three of six events vs. Arizona State and defeated the Sun Devils, 57-49, in a mixed relay dual with the Arizona State men's swimming team on Saturday in Wall Aquatic Center. Hosting Arizona State for the first time since 2003, the Lumberjacks earned their first win over the Sun Devils in program history before both teams volunteered for a clinic with youth swimmers immediately following the meet.
"I'm a bit surprised but I'm really proud of our girls and their effort," said NAU head coach Andy Johns. "It was great to start the meet out with a win in the 200 medley relay since that's a regular event for us, and our backstrokers and breaststrokers were just great. We had tremendous times that were better than we've done so far which is great for us leading into the season."
The Lumberjack quarter of freshman Alex Huff, junior Jordan Burnes, sophomore Alexis Juergens, and freshman Ellie Morrissey touched first in the 200 medley relay in 1:59.47 to narrowly out touch ASU's top finisher and another NAU squad to open the meet with a win. ASU came back with a win from Tristin Baxter in the 300 freestyle, the only individual race of the day, as she touched just before NAU junior Emma Lowther.
Huff, senior Fi Connell, and junior Rachel Palmer won the second relay race with a winning time of 3:15.21 in the 300 backstroke relay followed by an NAU win by more than five seconds in the 300 breaststroke relay in 3:48.73 from junior Stirling Smith, freshman Monica Pruett, and Burnes. The Sun Devils would come back to win the remaining events, the 300 butterfly relay and 400 free relay, but NAU had a squad place second in both of those races to earn points and finish off the win.
Both the NAU women and the ASU men and women worked for more than an hour following the meet with a large group of local swimmers, instructing them in form and technique and demonstrating the qualities that could make them future collegiate swimmers as well.
"It's fun to get to know the ASU swimmers and work with all the youth swimmers," said NAU junior Andrea Derflinger. "Seeing the excitement the kids have reminds me of why I love swimming and it's great to be able to give back to the community."
The Lumberjacks begin the traditional dual meet portion of their season next week with a dual at noon next Saturday at New Mexico.

Color me skeptical, but on the surface, this prediction seems hopelessly optimistic: according to the Consumer Electronics Association, Super Bowl XLIII is expected to drive the purchase of some 2.6 million HDTVs.
Buying an HDTV? Specifically for the Super Bowl? In a horrendous economy? Yeah, that was my reaction, too.
But maybe this is just a case of damn lies and statistics. A figure of 2.6 million HDTVs sounds like quite a bit, but according to the U.S. census, there were 217.8 million U.S. adults aged 18 and over in 2003 (oddly enough, the most recent figures for this particular breakdown I found on the U.S. Census Web site). That works out to just 1.1 percent of Americans buying an HDTV for the big game — probably less, given that the U.S. population has expanded since then.
"Even in this tough economy HDTV growth has remained strong and steady," said Jason Oxman, CEA senior vice president of industry affairs, in a statement. "Since the early days of HD, sporting events have lead the way in high-def broadcasts. Sixty percent of consumers said the Super Bowl is one of their favorite sports to watch in HD. It is no surprise that most Americans would not think of hosting a Super Bowl party without watching the game in HD."
The CEA expects that more than 34.5 million DTVs will ship in 2009.
I'll assume that anyone who buys a new HDTV specifically for the Super Bowl fall within the top 1.1 percent of the country in terms of wealth: you know, like the bankers who were paid millions in bonuses by failed, taxpayer-funded, bailed-out banks, in order to avoid losing their most talented employees. So if by chance you take a drive out to the Hamptons today and spy a few shiny new 72-inchers through the window, knock on the door and invite yourself in. You've earned it.

Mustang II springs
After installing my heihts front end according to directions, I had to cut 1.5 coils off the lightest duty springs to get the lower control arms level. All looks ok so far, but my shocks only have about 1.5" more travel til bottoming. The car only weighs 2700 lbs. Any thoughts?
Willy Carquest and napa have shock books that have the sizes and travel listed.(borrow it over the weekend cause ther are thousands of diff ones) Measure your eye to eye lenght at ride height and go from there(mark your old shock with a magic marker before you remove it ).Just try to get at least a 6 inch travel shock for the front .I try for about a 8 inch travel for the rear. I use gas shocks in the front and regulars in the rear with the cars we build.After you cut the coils did you let it sit or drive it for a week or so cause it will settle more. good luck
in order to get the lower arms level?
I ran into the same problem about ten yrs ago with a must. 2 frt that I installed in a 48 ford. I never did find a short enough shock to have sufficient shock travel. I ended up cutting the centers out of upper hats and building extended shock mounts. Was a real hassel and never was completely happy with results. The next car I built using must.2 (41 Merc) I had the crossmember designed as low as possible and only had to trim 1/2 coil off of 4 cyl. springs. - worked and rode perfect. Can only suggest you contact Heidts and see what they have to say - would be interested in what they have to say. Good luck
Yes everything that goes out of the shop ends up with cut coils.Its the last thing we do with the car completely done(i allways error on the high side cause they settle) I also use 4 wheel scales and a spring rater to figure out what rate spring to start with.(some times i may go through 2-3 sets of springs and a couple sway bars to get it just right)With the shock book you will find a correct shock now a days with out cutting. Some of the shorty shocks made for the lowered import truck crowd work pretty well also(tripped over that by acciedent)
Tinhunter & Phat Thanks, that eases my mind. Heidts basically told me the same thing. I'm having to cut 1.5 coils off the 4 cyl springs
to get to level. I will try to get it just above level to allow for that settling. I can get a little more out of the shocks by removing the shock snubbing rubber, but I'm sure that not a good idea.
Thanks Brad for the info.I have a 70's Trans Am column.
Willy i do suggest only cutting 1/2 coil at a time. Do the shocks last. Post back if yah need more help.Rule of thumb the 4 cyl springs are soft but work ok when cut(the rate goes up as you cut them shorter)If you start with V8 springs and have to cut them much the rate gets rather high(600-900 lbs)
Good luck Bud
Phat, thanks, I sneak up on it when I install.

Trust for the Journey
In this third installment of our Lenten sermon series we encounter one of the best-loved psalms in The Psalter. Psalm 121 begins with the famous words: "I lift up my eyes to the hills…" and reminds us that we can count on God for care and protections. Our message today asks us to think about how this psalm speaks to us in terms of our journey along the Christian Way. It is a difficult journey with many challenges that call us to do things we would not ordinarily choose to do…We must make unselfish choices…We will be inconvenienced…Our comfortable lives will be disrupted. The Good News is that God is there with us, caring for us and helping us with the challenge. Now the question is: Do you really believe that the Lord will keep you from this time on and forevermore? Join us this Lent as we journey to the cross and beyond.

Jets QB Mark Sanchez landed a jab at his old college coach, Pete Carroll, after notching his first career playoff victory on Saturday.
Sanchez, a USC product whom Carroll criticized for deciding to jump to the NFL early last year, turned the tables on his old coach, who is currently in talks to depart USC and become the head coach of the Seahawks.
Said a smiling Sanchez:
"I just wanted everybody to know I completely disagree with his decision. Statistics show that it's not a good choice."
The QB quickly added that he was being playful:
"No I'm just kidding. I talked to coach a bunch, I told him I was gonna hammer him about it, but I wish him the best whatever happens, whether he stays in school or not."
Carroll, who would later note that he was having a friendly disagreement with Sanchez, said last January that the QB was making a mistake by leaving as an underclassman.
"The facts are so strong against this decision," Carroll said. "After analyzing all the information, the truth is there — he should've stayed for another year." -- Sean Leahy

text: Posted January 2, 2013 http://legalinsurrection.com/2013/01/group-claims-hacked-subscriber-database-of-ny-newspaper-which-published-gun-permit-map/ The Lower Hudson Journal News, a Gannett newspaper, caused controversy when it published a map of names and addresses of gun permit holders, and announced that it planned to do so again. The plan for further publication may be in doubt as a neighboring county just announced it was denying the Journal News access to its gun permit database. In protest, bloggers posted the home addresses and telephone numbers of Journal News editors and staff. Also cirulating was the personal and family contact information for the Chairwoman of Gannett. The Journal News has hired armed guards for its offices, according to Politico, because of threats. This privacy war has just escalated dramatically, as a group of self-described "2nd Amendment supporters" claims it has downloaded and posted on the web what it describes as the "user" database of the Journal News. Twitter users claim the list is being widely circulated. Although the links are easily available, I'm not including links to any of the websites containing the alleged database for the same reason I did not provide the personal information sent to me about Gannett's Chairwoman. Bit of irony with the hiring of armed guards from people doing the same things they did to gun owners. I'm sure they received some threats and protection warranted, but still no less ironic. 1 person likes this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Are CIO-Led Organizations Endangered?
State and local governments are questioning the need for large, centralized, costly IT departments.
Washington state's new $300 million data center, located just off the Interstate 5 exit to the Capitol in Olympia, rises like a classic government building: stately and imposing, its exterior lined in cut limestone. Inside, the building looks to the future with four enormous, 12,500-square-foot halls, ready to house banks of servers that will store and process the state's burgeoning data needs. There's just one problem. The state needs only a fraction of the room that's available.
The original plans for the center date back to the 1990s when the solution to growing data demands was to keep buying more servers. Another factor driving its construction: state government's desire to consolidate as much of its computing needs as possible into one physical location, bringing economies of scale. That model called for server farms, which require large buildings with special flooring, cooling systems and room for lots of computers. But while the state continued working on its plan to build a data center, technology changed. Virtualization, which involves sophisticated software that can turn a single server into multiple versions of itself, slowed the demand for more hardware. More recently, cloud computing -- information stored on the Web, where it's accessible from any computer, anytime -- has accelerated the information outsourcing process, reducing further the need to purchase more hardware, build more data networks and add more IT personnel.
To make matters worse for Washington, the data center is coming online at a time when the state's coffers are running on empty. Whatever happens to the data center -- and lots of questions are being asked about what to do with it -- it's becoming clear that the traditional business model for IT in government is shifting. Critics believe the recession has exposed flaws in the long-held notion that government needs to own and maintain most if not all of its computing needs. It's just too costly, they say, especially when less expensive solutions are available for cash-strapped governments.
"It's hard to stop doing things when you started doing them for a good reason," says Edward Lazowska, the Bill & Melinda Gates chair in Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Washington, and a longtime adviser to the state's IT agency. "But it's essential you rethink the need. The recession is driving this."
Washington state isn't the only government to be buffeted by technological change and large budget problems. Most every other state and jurisdiction is facing similar issues. In Corpus Christi, Texas, a budget shortfall compelled the city to lop $2 million off its $17 million annual IT budget. That forced Mike Armstrong, the city's CIO, to eliminate nine positions from his staff of 105 employees.
But unlike states, cities can be more nimble in terms of changing direction. Armstrong foresaw the virtualization revolution and quickly downsized his data center by 25 percent. He's testing the waters for outsourcing, which includes cloud computing, and hopes to "keep moving ahead" while shrinking the need for expensive personnel. Will it work? Perhaps, but it will be tricky. The city's administration complains about IT cost, "but they want the higher level of service that it brings," says Armstrong. "Sometimes I feel like we're supposed to be magicians."
Back in Washington, home to Microsoft and a host of other high-tech firms, frustration with how the state is dealing with its IT dilemma is growing. Lazowska calls the state's new data center "a monument to the old ways of doing things." He would like to see the state put more of an emphasis on outsourcing or sharing services with a third party. "No government organization," he says, "can afford to continue to be in businesses that someone else can conduct with equal or better efficiency."
That view is shared by Washington state Rep. Reuven Carlyle, who has a background in software and mobile technology markets. In January, the legislator, a longtime critic of the state's data center plan, put language into a supplemental budget bill that bars the state from spending money related to data center computing until it figures out how it will use the unneeded space. Carlyle figures the state will need only 10 percent of the center's space and would like to see the rest of the site used by local governments and universities. "We have excess capacity here," he says. "We have to be creative in how we use that space for the maximum return on investment."
While Carlyle wants the state to adopt more shared services and cloud computing initiatives to get more bang for its buck, he says the problem is bigger than learning how to adopt new technologies. Like every other state, Washington owns and runs most of its IT infrastructure, including networks, routers, and of course servers that store and process information used by dozens of agencies. "But too much of our technology dollar is stolen by the back-end, data-hosting and utility functions," he argues. "Not enough goes toward front applications that really impact citizens."
In fact, the state is beginning to take steps in this direction. Gov. Christine Gregoire proposed the creation of a new agency that would merge and privatize some of the state's basic IT functions. The move would, in effect, decentralize the state's IT operations, putting "back-office" services (like storage and networking) into the new agency, while the Office of Financial Management would continue to handle policy, budget, forecasting and labor relations.
Another state unhappy with the direction its IT services are headed is also looking to decentralize some of the functions that have been long considered a key feature of any government technology agency. Texas, facing a massive $15 billion to $27 billion budget deficit, is considering a plan to abolish the Department of Information Resources (DIR), replace it with a smaller department, and perhaps most critically, transfer some of the powers of IT procurement to the Comptroller of Public Accounts.
A scathing report last year by the state's Sunset Advisory Commission heavily criticized how the DIR handled some major contracts, most prominently an $863 million outsourcing contract with IBM to run the state's data centers. To counter the DIR's weaknesses in managing and enforcing outsourcing contracts, the commission recommended changes in the agency's management structure as well as increased reporting and accountability to the Legislature.
The problem with large-scale outsourcing isn't limited to Texas, of course. State and local governments have a mixed record when it comes to management and oversight of large IT contracts.
But the fact that critics inside and outside of state government in Austin are calling for the DIR to be abolished and replaced by a smaller agency with less authority, speaks to the turmoil that has come to the world of government IT. The idea that one agency can manage all the IT contracts, operate all the networks and data systems and drive innovation at the same time, may be starting to look passé. The soup-to-nuts government technology agency is a legacy of another era, based on adding more technology for a growing government. That is no longer the case today.
"The reason the public sector struggles so ferociously in technology is because it doesn't put the business process on the table first," says Carlyle. "We have to fundamentally change the incentives and expectations so that we move away from the idea that buying a new box is going to solve the problem."
If government IT departments must embrace change, so too must the CIOs who run these agencies. Twenty-eight new governors took office in January, which created significant turnover for CIOs. Whether they're new or staying on, their roles and responsibilities could begin to transform in 2011. With what is happening in Texas, Washington and elsewhere, there's a hint of diminished expectations in the air.
In Michigan, one of the states hit first and hardest by the recession, former Gov. Jennifer Granholm began reorganizing government operations in January 2010. She combined IT with management and budget and named then-CIO Ken Theis to head up the new department. With an IT specialist overseeing the budget, many saw this as the triumph of technology and innovation over finance. But newly elected Gov. Rick Snyder thinks otherwise. He put a veteran budget man, John Nixon, in charge of the Department of Technology, Management and Budget. In tight times, financial expertise often trumps IT savvy.
John Miri, a former senior-level IT official in state government and now an IT consultant, believes the state CIO position is still critical and will remain so. But if states begin to separate purchasing and back-office functions from IT services and development, as some appear to be doing, the CIO position becomes one that is largely manager of services. And that, he points out, "is a loss of responsibility."
In order to survive, CIOs will have to change. This is not a new argument. For years, critics of public-sector IT leadership have said that CIOs need to get out of the proverbial boiler room and replace some of their technological mindset with business savvy. That may be starting to happen, according to Darrell West, vice president and director of Governance Studies and founding director of the Center for Technology Innovation at the Brookings Institution. He sees elected officials increasingly looking to CIOs to provide guidance on how to reorganize government, deliver services and improve the functions of government. "The holders of that position," he says, "are going to gain a lot of power and influence in the coming years."
That's an important issue because never before have state and local governments been under so much pressure to quickly streamline and adapt to a new fiscal reality. Technology can help organizations adjust to new business models. West points to the speed with which the federal government is embracing cloud computing, along with some state agencies and local governments. What they are finding is that the cost-savings are piling up without reducing the quality of services. But in order for a state or local government to embrace the full benefits of a new technology, it takes someone to manage the necessary change who is both a technocrat and management guru.
"The CIO role is going to become more important because the technologies that are most transformative are those that combine technology with organizational change," West says. "If you just use technology with the same organizational structures, you are not going to get the benefits."

Modus, Sallinger create Cornerturne bedroom
October 17, 2009,
Modus Furniture International has teamed up with furniture designer Scott Sallinger in hopes of literally cornering the market with a new line of bedroom furniture.
Sallinger, who has a background in historical home renovations, architectural woodworking and building custom furniture to accommodate unusual room sizes, and Modus have introduced Cornerturne, a modular bedroom furniture system designed to maximize the use of corner space.
While it is starting with the bedroom set, Modus is looking at adding additional products in the line, with a customizable system featuring storage for every room in the home. The designs include pull-out shelves, glass doors and expandable clothes rods.
"The designs that Scott brings to market offer the consumer great looks coupled with clever and generous storage options," said Jon Lannertone, national sales manager for Modus.
As an example, Lannertone points to Sallinger's corner bed grouping, which includes nightstands. "The bed features an incredible 32 cubic feet of storage in the headboard — about half the space that you would normally find in a hall closet. In addition, the bed offers additional storage thanks to drawers on the underside of the bed," he said.
"Storage and utility seem to be two stories that retailers want to be able to tell their consumers at the store level," Lannertone added. "This grouping certainly will give them a compelling story to tell."
Pricing at press time was being finalized.

I haven't got a chance to shoot it after picking it up today. I plan to shoot it this weekend to cycle some of the Hornady 124gr XTPs pictured. I've gotten it pretty well set up so far. I've got 4 13rd mags and a Galco IWB holster which I can't even use to its full potential yet since I don't have my CCP yet. I tried out the holster and my wife couldn't tell I was carrying even with shorts and a t-shirt. I'll probably order another holster tonight to use for open carry for the time being. Without further dudes, here's the best picture I got tonight after arriving home.
Enjoy your new .357...

You'll love it. The G32 is my favorite non-1911 gun.
Treat me good, I'll treat you better. Treat me bad, I'll treat you worse.
Please include a range report-I am seriously considering a G32-even bought some high cap mags just in case-She's a beauty. Congrats

Well, I don't exactly have a range report since the targets amounted to soda and water cans since the guy I work with had a spot to shoot, but this gun is amazing. Not a single FTF or FTE and the recoil is very manageable. I guess I'm one of the few that like the factory sights. I shot his Para .45 and both felt to have very light recoil with the .357 being a bit sharper. Follow up shots were very easy. I can't even imagine how soft the compensated model must be. Much recommended, get it!

Falklands, South Georgia and Antarctica: Explorers and Kings
-Explore the world's seventh continent on the Antarctic Peninsula by ship, Zodiac and on foot.
-Learn about Antarctica's unique geology, history and wildlife with an expert team of lecturers.
-See the incredible wildlife of South Georgia, often referred to as 'the Galapagos of the South'. This includes more than 30 species of breeding birds, including four species of Penguin.
-Follow in the footsteps of Sir Ernest Shackleton's perilous voyages on South Georgia and pause for a moment at his graveside.
-Explore the quaint, British town of Port Stanley in the Falkland Islands.
-On board lecturers and educational presentations from Polar Specialists.
Day 1: Ushuaia, Argentina
Your gateway for this expedition is Ushuaia, Argentina. Nestled within the Tierra del Fuego archipelago, Ushuaia offers you a small-town feel but has many shops, museums, cafes and restaurants to enjoy before your voyage. If you're feeling adventurous, the nearby national park and Martial Glacier offer plenty of hiking and outdoor activities. Hotel Overnight included.
Day 2: Embarkation Day
As we embark, the anticipation and excitement grows. Trade your land legs for sea legs, meet and greet your fellow travelers and get acquainted with your ship. As every Antarctic adventure presents new opportunities and experiences, Embarkation day is just as exciting for your Expedition Team as it is for you. They're onboard to ensure your comfort and safety, as well as help make your wildlife dreams come true.
Day 3: At Sea
There are many activities to keep you engaged while we're at sea. Learn to identify seabirds that glide alongside the ship or attend illustrated presentations by your Expedition Team. You will be prepped on procedures for your Zodiac cruises and shore landings as well as be given instructions for getting the most out of your upcoming kayaking opportunities.
Days 4 -5: Falkland Islands (Isla Malvinas)
Upon arrival in this archipelago your cameras will get their first real workout capturing the abundant wildlife and rugged feel of these remote islands. The Falkland archipelago contains two main islands - East and West, which we will explore by Zodiac excursions and daily landings.
One landing that will surely stick out in your memory is at Port Stanley. This unique British outpost has a ramshackle charm to it. The largest settlement in the Falklands, you'll spend your day here visiting churches, museums, wandering around town and perhaps mingling with locals at a typical British pub.
In terms of wildlife, the archipelago is home to a variety of penguin species, including Magellanic, Gentoo and Rockhopper. If lucky, you may spot King Penguins here as well! We can also expect to see Black-browed Albatross and many other bird species around the islands, including an opportunity to see the two endemic species; Cobb's Wren and the Falklands flightless steamer duck. Your team of lecturers and specialists will be sure to educate you on the local flora and fauna so that you get the most of a memorable time in the Falklands.
Days 6 - 7: At Sea
Sailing south, we'll enter Antarctic waters by crossing the invisible biological boundary unique to Antarctica – the Antarctic Convergence. Encircling the continent, cold, northward-flowing Antarctic waters meet and mix with the warmer waters of the Indian, Pacific and Atlantic Oceans, creating the abundance of krill and microscopic marine life that attracts whales and other species to this part of the world. Ship staff will be sure to keep you posted when we cross this invisible, yet important line.
Days 8 - 10: South Georgia
This remote outpost has long been a centre for exploratory expeditions and commercial exploitation. Many of these original inhabitants arrived to the island to hunt whales and elephant seals. Populations were once decimated, but thankfully populations have rebounded and whaling and sealing ceases to exist today. You will see many remnants of these past activities; including several whaling stations and other abandoned outposts.
One significant and historic site that will be of interest is the grave of the great explorer, Sir Ernest Shackleton. You can visit his grave at the settlement of Grytviken, which is also home to an old whaling station, the museum and a small gift shop and church and a research station of approximately 20 scientists and support personnel.
While South Georgia's history is an important attraction to the islands, it is the wildlife on South Georgia that you and your shipmates will likely find the most captivating. Often referred to as the Galapagos of the Poles, South Georgia contains an exceptional quantity of wildlife. Each landing you make on South Georgia will open your eyes to a new wonder of wildlife. One day you may see rookeries with thousands of King Penguins waddling on the beach. Another day could take us to a beach with jousting elephant or fur seal beachmasters fighting to retain their harems.The grasses, mountains and beaches of South Georgia all play an important role in the breeding and survival of different species, something that your Expedition Team will be pleased to tell you about during your excursions on this impressive and unique island.
Days 11 - 12: At Sea
Say goodbye to the king penguins, as your next destination is Antarctica! Your days at sea are filled with seminars from your Expedition Team, who will prepare you for the wildlife that will be greeting you upon your arrival in Antarctica. In between presentations, spend time chatting with your shipmates over a drink at the bar.
Days 13 - 16: South Shetland Islands and Antarctic Peninsula
The most common reaction to arriving at the white continent is a sense of reverence and awe. The experience is hard to put into words, as few places are as untouched, unique and enduring as Antarctica. You will discover that Antarctica is a land of extremes. At one moment you'll be overcome with a feeling of complete desolation and silence, at the next moment you'll be inspired by nature as a calving glacier crashes into the brilliant blue sea or a penguin comes waddling by to inspect your footwear.
Guided hikes with the Expedition Team will have you trekking up a glacier, visiting a research station, or consorting with penguin colonies. Chinstrap, Gentoo and Adélie penguins are found here, along with Fur, Weddell, Crabeater and Leopard Seals. Curious whales, such as Minkes, are often attracted to Zodiacs as well, giving you a chance to get within reaching distance of these majestic animals. Each day and each landing will present a new collection of creatures to entertain you and keep your camera shutter busy.
As exciting as the Zodiac excursions and landings are, perhaps you'll treat yourself to an extra special Antarctic experience by partaking in a kayaking excursion.
Days 17 - 18: Crossing the Drake
After more than two weeks of endless wildlife encounters, your journey home begins. Crossing the Drake Passage is your unofficial rite of passage, which will complete your Antarctic adventure.
Enjoy some final moments mingling with your fellow travelers. The noisy, busy, populated world awaits your return, so savor the silence of the sea as long as you can.
Day 19: Disembark in Ushuaia, Argentina
After breakfast aboard the ship, it is time to part ways and say goodbye to your Expedition Team. We will transfer you to the airport for your homeward flight.

To get into my office here at the Sean Adams University of Business Management Development Leadership (SAUBMDL), I have to scan a badge. This might seem annoying, but here's the thing: you know who doesn't have badges? Wolves! That's who! And so as long as I have to scan a badge to get in, I can rest assured that there's no need to worry about bloodthirsty wolves in the office. It makes me feel safe.
Now, when you're starting your own business, you've got to consider how many bloodthirsty wolves do you want around. Was your answer anything other than zero? Then you're not fit to run a business. GET OUT! GET OUT OF HERE RIGHT NOW! For the rest of you, though, we here at Sean University would like to offer you some advice on designing the perfect badge for your business.
The front of the badge will identify employees coming into the building:
A lot of amateur badges will just have one picture, but employees don't look exactly the same every day. Which is why your business's badge should have at least four pictures, covering the following contingencies...
A) what the employee looks like usually
B) what the employee will look like on Casual Friday
C) what the employee will look like if he grows a mustache (you never know when a mustache will strike your business)
D) what it will look like if your employee dies (Note: This should be a computer-generated photo. If it isn't that means you're paying a dead-guy. If an employee starts to look like this, immediately report him to HR.)
With these four pictures, your security guards will have no problem identifying your employees. Under that is the standard stuff:
E) what other people call the employee
F) what you call the employee
G) the barcode to the scanner machine (because for some reason it's not allowed to have it tattooed on each employee's forehead! People these days! They get so worked up about petty things.)
That's all the stuff you need for your employees to get in the door. But what about once they're in the office? Sure the front of the badge will help people learn each other's names. But how do you help employees understand their standing in the company or how they should interact with each other? That's where the back of the badge comes in:
Here you'll find each employee's vital stats:
H) This is everyone the employee is higher than in the company. If you don't see your face here, feel free to delegate however much work you want onto him as long as…
I) his intelligence is low enough that he won't realize you're taking advantage of him. Here, our employee is about as smart as a dog or a bonsai tree. So, you're probably okay to throw anything his way. Still, he might get angry, in which case, you'll need to know if he can…
J) beat you up with his karate moves. This employee is particularly dangerous because, on top of the standard chop and kick, he knows the fireball. Of course, when entering a deadly fight with someone, it's also important to know…
K) what they have to live for in this world. Here, the employee only has his two cats, which can spell trouble if you try to take him on.
This is a good template to follow, but obviously more can be added. What would you put on your company's badge, students?
Just me? Or second image broken?
Master00Sniper wrote:Just me? Or second image broken?
It was broken, thanks! Should be fixed now.
I make sure to only keep thirsty wolves, not bloodthirsty wolves around. Then, as long as there are plenty of bowls of water, everything's a-ok!
Jason Toon wrote:It was broken, thanks! Should be fixed now.
What is this, some kind of second rate blog on a site that sells cheap crap and vacuums?
There was much talk about the badge itself, but little about how it should be worn.
With pride? Like Swag? From a Lanyard? From a clip? Hidden under one's jacket? Displayed at all times, even if you must have two?
Oh, and since I have a very strict "no martial arts" policy in my newly-forming company, I would have the badge list the "Laws of Power" (as listed by Robert Greene) that the employee would be most likely to follow, as well as the laws that they would be most likely to violate.
This, of course, would have to be determined by early pre-screening and psychological profiling, but is well worth the effort. It would have to be numerals only, or some fun symbolic posturing that only CEO-level individuals are allowed to learn when they attain the position. If they attain the position.
You forgot to add the time in which it would take you, once bitten, to turn into a zombie. Very Important!!!
No bloodthirsty wolves. OK
We have 'Fierce Fang' and 'El Diablo' protecting us. They would rip your arm off (if they could reach it. Chihuahuas aren't very tall). They DO have the 'Yap of Death'. Mostly effective.
Badges? We don't need no steenkin badges. My mom won't let anybody down into the basement unless she knows them. And you don't want to mess with her. She has the 'Voice of Sarcasm' that can blister paint at thirty paces (that was NOT a good day).
dabomb276 wrote:You forgot to add the time in which it would take you, once bitten, to turn into a zombie. Very Important!!!
Good idea, but I'm not sure how you'd figure it out. Perhaps you should only hire twins, or rather, one twin, and you can turn the other twin into a zombie to get the accurate answer.
Hmm....it's possible the zombie might turn out to be the better worker, so you should also keep them around.
If you hire a zombie, wouldn't the "normal" picture and the "dead" picture look the same?
I'm no doctor, but I think that would probably depend on blood pressure and heart rate which fluctuates far too much to print on a badge.
You could implant some kind of monitoring device that transmits to a LED readout on the badge, but that sounds like more trouble than it's worth.
vigothe6th wrote:You could implant some kind of monitoring device that transmits to a LED readout on the badge, but that sounds like more trouble than it's worth.
You say that now, but you'll probably regret it as you're trying to determine if you have time to run through the hallway jumping over the freshly infected former co-workers.
Quiz for the employees so you know how long post bite you have to deny them building access
nobody messes with me and my cats.

Lorient completes daunting route for Volvo Ocean Race 2014-15
by Volvo Ocean Race Media on 8 Apr 2013
Official route of the Volvo Ocean Race 2014-15 Volvo Ocean Race©
The French city of Lorient will return as the penultimate stopover in the Volvo Ocean Race for the 12th edition in 2014-15, completing a route that will test the world's best professional sailors to the limit in a race around the world lasting almost nine months and 40,000 nautical miles.
The Race will start on October 4, 2014, day of the first In-Port Race in Alicante, and finish with a final In-Port Race on June 27, 2015 in Gothenburg, the Swedish home of Volvo.
The total course distance will be 39,895 nautical miles – the equivalent to 45,910 miles or 73,886 kilometres – and will see the sailors tackle an extra Southern Ocean leg between Recife in Brazil and Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates in their brand new Volvo Ocean 65 boats.
Race CEO Knut Frostad said: 'We have a route which we are sure will appeal to every serious offshore sailor, full of super-fast, challenging conditions. The Southern Ocean leg from Recife to Abu Dhabi is the most diverse ever presented in the Race and will contribute to what could turn out to be the toughest Race in our 40-year history.'
Lorient will be the penultimate Host Port along the route and will come immediately after Lisbon, as it did in the last edition, and before the grand finale, which this time will be in Gothenburg.
The full route will see the teams sail their One Design boats from the Race's home in Alicante, Spain to Recife on the north east tip of Brazil over 3,421 nm. From there, the teams will sail the longest leg of the race, making their first dive into the Southern Ocean on their way to Abu Dhabi (9,707 nautical miles) before heading to Sanya in China (4,670 nm).
As in the last race, the boats will sail from Sanya to Auckland, New Zealand (5,264 nm). From the City of Sails they will leave for Itajaí in Brazil (6,776 nm) before going north to Newport, Rhode Island in the United States (5,010 nm). The teams will then cross the Atlantic to Lisbon (2,800 nm) and stop in Lorient (647 nm) before the final run to the finish around the British Isles to Gothenburg (1,600 nm).
Lorient, the Breton city on the west coast of France, hosted the Race for the first time in 2011-12 and provided an incredible spectacle for fans. French team Groupama sailed into Lorient as winners of the penultimate leg from Lisbon and had another emotional success in the In-Port Race.
The team skippered by Franck Cammas went on to seal their debut victory in the Volvo Ocean Race at the finish line in Galway.
'Lorient is France's sailing capital and the response we had during the last Race was phenomenal,' said Race CEO Frostad. 'It will be a real pleasure to come back to this stunning part of the world, where the people are so knowledgeable about the sport and the whole set-up suits the Race so perfectly. Lorient will be a real highlight on the route.'
Frostad described the route as 'an immense challenge' for sailors.
'The leg from Recife to Abu Dhabi will be one of the most interesting, diverse and difficult ever sailed in this Race,' Frostad said. 'There then follows an incredibly challenging section of the race on the way around Cape Horn before a long overdue visit to Newport and a trip back across the Atlantic to a fantastic three-stop European finish.
'From brand new ports like Recife to now familiar stops such as Abu Dhabi, Sanya, Itajaí, Lisbon and Lorient, and classic sailing cities such as Auckland and Newport, this route gives just about the perfect mix of old and new. Add to that the start in Alicante and a mid-summer finish in Gothenburg, my only regret is that I'm not sailing the route myself.'

Costume Information

|Puyo Puyo!
In the end, this costume worked out pretty well, the jacket was comfortable enough I forgot I was wearing it until halfway home on the train.
I was surprised a few people recognised me, though I think there are more pictures of people posing with my plush puyos than there are of me wearing the costume.
Favourite bit: Either the claw or the bag, having a bag as part of a costume is incredibly useful, and the claw was fun.
I was pretty happy with the way the wig turned out, given it was my first attempt at styling a wig. (I got told off for not wearing a wig cap though.)
One day, I hope to reprise this as part of a group, or make a new Puyo Pop costume, but that's another plan for another time.
Now to search for a photo to upload.
