A slew of weak earnings reports sent investors reeling Friday and pushed all three indexes down nearly 2%, marking the worst day on Wall Street since June.
The S&P 500 lost 1.6%. The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 205 points, or 1.5%. The Nasdaq posted the steepest declines, falling 2.2%.
The day started on a sour note after McDonald's and General Electric reported earnings that fell short of forecasts.
"The high profile earnings have been a disappointment so far," said Frank Davis, head of trading at LEK Securities. "We've now had enough companies reporting that people are looking at overall fundamentals, and the valuations of stocks aren't that attractive."
Still, both the S&P 500 and the Dow eked out gains of 0.3% for the week, while the Nasdaq dropped 1.2%.
The tech sector continued to disappoint Friday, a day after two tech giants, Microsoft and Google, reported results that fell short of expectations.
Microsoft's sales were flat, while Google missed analysts' estimates on both sales and profit when it accidentally reported earnings ahead of schedule. The stock of both companies pulled down the indexes with each dropping more than 1.9%.
So far, 23% of S&P 500 companies have reported quarterly results, according to S&P Capital IQ analysts, who expect third-quarter earnings overall to grow a modest 0.04%. That would be the lowest expected growth rate since the third quarter of 2009.
On the bright side, "trading is orderly. It's not frantic selling," said Douglas DePietro, a managing director for sales and trading at Evercore Partners. Volumes, he noted, remained relatively muted throughout the day. managed
Friday also marks the 25th anniversary of the worst one-day stock plunge in history, known as "Black Monday," when the Dow dropped 22.6%.

Hi, I'm Petra and this is my weight loss/fitness blog.
I used to be on Weight Watchers from January 2011 to October 2012, dropping approximately 45 lbs. I've made the transition from unhealthy and unhappy to athlete and this is my journey to becoming a healthier, happier me. I frequently post about my exercise (mostly running, yoga and lifting), the foods I eat, recipes I liked and my daily struggles. You'll also find the occasional tree hugger post, (travel) photography or anything else I find worth remembering and collecting.
I follow most blogs back that follow me. However, I do stay away from blogs that promote EDs, unhealthy methods of weight loss or negative body image.
Feel free to say hi any time!

Publisher's DescriptionAuthor Bio Stan and Jan Berenstain introduced the first Berenstain Bear books in 1962. Mike Berenstain grew up watching his parents work together to write about and draw these lovable bears. Eventually he started drawing and writing about them too. Though Stan died in 2005, and Jan in 2012, Mike continues to create the delightful Bear adventures from the family home and studio in Pennsylvania, in an area that looks much like the sunny dirt road deep in Bear Country.

Caring for Trafficked Persons: Guidance for Health Providers Facilitator's Guide
Feb 19 2013
Download right click "save as"
For health-care providers, trafficking in persons is best understood as a serious health risk because as with other forms of violence, it is associated with physical and psychological harm. Health providers may come into contact with victims of trafficking at different stages of the trafficking process and at different stages of their recovery. The informed and attentive health-care provider can play an important role in assisting and treating individuals who may have suffered repeated abuse. For health practitioners, diagnosing and treating trafficked persons can pose a range of new challenges related to care provision. In 2012, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) and the Gender Violence & Health Centre of the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine (LSHTM) developed a training package based on the handbook Caring for Trafficked Persons: Guidance for Health Providers. Published in 2009, the handbook combines research, field experience and good practice into a tool for those who provide health services to trafficked persons, whether identified victims or populations which may include unidentified victims or other exploited persons. TheCaring for Trafficked Persons Facilitator's Guide and accompanying materials have been developed for individuals who wish to carry out training to help a concerned health provider understand the phenomenon of human trafficking, recognize some of the associated health problems and consider safe and appropriate approaches to providing health care for trafficked persons. The training is designed for all types and levels of health providers, particularly those actively providing services.

Extended Range Forecast of Atlantic Seasonal Hurricane Activity and Landfall Strike Probability for 2013
From the 4/10 Colorado State Report;
We anticipate that the 2013 Atlantic basin hurricane season will have enhanced activity compared with the 1981-2010 climatology. The tropical Atlantic has anomalously warmed over the past several months, and it appears that the chances of an El Niño event this summer and fall are unlikely. We anticipate an above-average probability for major hurricanes making landfall along the United States coastline and in the Caribbean. Coastal residents are reminded that it only takes one hurricane making landfall to make it an active season for them, and they need to prepare the same for every season, regardless of how much or how little activity is predicted. (as of 10 April 2013)
A monster tornado packing winds as strong as 200 mph roared through the Oklahoma City suburbs Monday, pulverizing block after block of homes, wrecking an elementary school and leaving fires burning out of control.
Crews were frantically searching an estimated 30 square miles of wreckage and only beginning to get a sense of the destruction as night fell. Initial reports from NBC affiliate KFOR said at least four people were killed in the suburb of Moore, including a mother and child, and hospitals reported several dozen injured.

Severe storms hit Oklahoma City on Saturday, trapping people in cars and knocking out power for thousands after pelting far southwest Oklahoma with hail the size of baseballs.
Power lines block Penn. Ave. just north of 150th in Oklahoma City after a storm moved through the area on Saturday, May 18, 2013. A tornado watch covering much of the state had expired by about 11 p.m., though a severe thunderstorm watch was expected to remain in place south and northeast of the metropolitan area, including Cleveland County, until 3 a.m. More severe weather is possible Sunday afternoon in central and eastern Oklahoma, said John Pike, a spokesman for the National Weather Service, Norman.
The official start of the 2013 Eastern Pacific hurricane season is Wednesday, May 15.
With the season set to get underway, the tropics are already brewing as an area of unsettled weather crosses the eastern Pacific Ocean several hundred miles to the west of Panama.
From the State Farm Press Release:
Weather Conditions Put Kentucky in the Top Ten
Murfreesboro, TN (April 22, 2013)
Wind and hail storms remain some of the most frequent and severe causes of property damage. This year the Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety Research Center conducted the first-ever indoor hailstorm, in an effort to research building products and ways to educate consumers.

A chance for a fresh start
A career politician adroit at taking credit for the labor of others, Reardon stood defiant, unwilling to shoulder blame or responsibility --or even feign humility -- for a crisis of his own creation.
As the late Speaker of the House, Tip O'Neill, said to the White House congressional liaison in 1980, "You guys came in like a bunch of jerks, and I see you're going out the same way."
At his State of the County address, Reardon announced that he would resign at the end of May because of "false and scurrilous accusations" emanating from "groups that oppose" him. Exceptional investigative reporting by The Herald's Scott North and Noah Haglund revealed evidence of online harassment and surveillance of Reardon's political enemies -- a list that extends to those who cooperated in the Washington State Patrol's investigation of Reardon's use of public money.
What, precisely, is false? Reardon merits an opportunity to defend his character and leadership but, like a third-world autocrat, he prefers to isolate, refusing to answer questions. It's an evocative silence.
The erosion of trust in the integrity and leadership of Reardon and his staff was magnified by Snohomish County Prosecuting Attorney Mark Roe's call last week for an independent investigation. It culminated on Wednesday when the County Council passed an emergency ordinance removing the Department of Information Services from Reardon's authority, transferring control to County Auditor Carolyn Weikel.
Many questions still need to be answered, and an investigation is likely. But now there is hope, hope for inspired leadership. The mission must be to restore the people's faith and tap someone with integrity, humility and, yes, wisdom. Citizens and the County Council might consider the mantra of the father of the nuclear Navy, Adm. H.G. Rickover, who always asked, "Why not the best?"
Public service is the highest calling, thankless, noble, and all-consuming. The Reardon era and its attendant cynicism must never diminish that. On Wednesday, before Reardon announced his May resignation, County Councilman Brian Sullivan summarized the feelings of many. "There are thousands of hard working, dedicated county employees who come to work every day and do their best to build and repair roads, protect our citizens, maintain a world-class parks system, and provide a hundred other services to county residents...We all deserve better." Thankfully, at last, we're one step closer.

Battle Pack: Epic Dawn is now in stores, and we've got a couple Sealed Play Secrets to share that'll help you have a blast while blasting your opponents!
FLIP is Hip
Battle Pack: Epic Dawn is loaded with monsters with FLIP Effects or effects that are similar to FLIP Effects. These tend to be extremely powerful and should always be in the back of your mind when you're building your Deck or Dueling. If you suspect that your opponent has a FLIP Effect monster Set, your best bet is to attack it. By attacking your opponent's monster, you force its effect to activate right away. Plus there's always the added incentive of destroying it, giving you the first chance to change the course of the Duel instead of your opponent and depriving them of a monster.
Know Thy Enemy
Unlike regular Dueling, there are only so many possibilities for what cards your opponent might have in Sealed Play. Once you learn all of the cards that are in Battle Pack: Epic Dawn, you'll have a much better grasp on what monsters or Traps your opponent might have at any given time, which gives you an edge in battle. Spells are a little harder to predict. Because they're usually held in the hand, there's less information to go on when you're trying to divine their identity.
Have Fun!
One of the best parts of Sealed Play is getting to play with cards you've never seen before, or cards that you haven't used in a long time. Battle Pack: Epic Dawn is full of cards that are an absolute blast to play with, so try out everything you get!
Pick up Battle Pack: Epic Dawn today and get started on your Sealed-Play adventure!

Consult the arena seating chart and choose one of the following seating sections and price points:
From the vantage point of an overstuffed sofa, bowlers can comfortably watch as their team members and opponents compete inside Eastway Bowl. In addition to luxurious seating arrangements, each of its 32 lanes features a ceiling-mounted 32-inch LCD monitor and a coffee table that can cradle specialties from the Eastway Sports Lounge and Grille. Visitors can dine lane-side on breaded cod fillet or jumbo hot dogs, or peruse menus in the lounge. Seven high-definition television screens surround the dining area, broadcasting highly anticipated sports games and television coverage of children chasing sugar-cereal mascots.
All manner of monsters prowl the halls of the Sioux Falls Jaycees Haunted House. Sadistic clowns smile from shadowed corners, herding visitors into a blood-spattered room where a ghoul in a straitjacket waits. Strobe lights and fog convince the senses that they've entered an otherworldly dimension or a very dusty camera, concealing the ghastly robotics and props lurking around each bend—such as a leering, demonic child named Hex. Though the attraction seeks to terrify, its ultimate goal is far more altruistic: ticket profits go to the Sioux Falls Jaycees, a community-service group whose volunteers don masks and gallons of fake blood to staff the entire house.
When the Skyforce joined the Continental Basketball Association in 1989, it became the city of Sioux Falls's first-ever professional-sports organization. It wasn't until 1994 that the Skyforce truly established itself as a powerhouse, earning its first playoff berth to set off a string of six consecutive postseason appearances—highlighted by a CBA championship in 1995–96.
Over the next decade, the Skyforce remained a perennial playoff contender, including during a brief stint as part of the International Basketball League in 2001. The team won its second CBA title in 2005–06, then promptly stuffed its trophies and the entire Sioux Falls Arena into a carry-on suitcase for a move to the NBA Developmental League. Since the switch, the Skyforce has helped launch the careers of a dozen NBA players, bringing the organization's total to more than 40.
Swiss army knives are famed for the many vital tools hidden in the nooks and crannies of their surprisingly small exterior; Star Performance Complex takes a similar approach to educating kids in fitness. Their instructors offer swimming, gymnastics, tae kwon do, and dance lessons to tykes who enjoy competitive athleticism. They also provide day and night care that combines structured activity with open play in their fun gyms, which feature not only gymnastics equipment but inflatable play houses. Other teachers focus on team sports, training kids to work together in softball, soccer, and cheer. All of this – excepting the swim lessons – takes place in their single, colorful facility full of squeaky hardwood, soft mats, and all the equipment a kids needs to build a strong body.

The president of the United States will release a binder full of new gun-control executive orders on Wednesday. Instead of standing alone, bearing full responsibility for the imperial actions he is about to take, President Obama will surround himself with an audience of kids who wrote to him after the Newtown, Conn., school massacre. This is the most cynical in Beltway theatrical staging — a feckless attempt to invoke "For the Children" immunity by hiding behind them.
What has happened to the deliberative process in this country? Public debate in Washington has deteriorated into Sesame Street sing-a-longs. We are already inundated with logical fallacies: argumentum ad populum (it's popular, therefore it's true); argumentum ad nauseam (if you repeat it often enough, it'll become truth); argumentum ad hominem (sabotage the person, sabotage the truth); and argumentum ad verecundiam (if my favorite authority says it's true, it's true).
To that list we can now add "argumentum ad filium": If politicians appeal to the children, it's unassailably good and true. The Obama White House has shamelessly employed this kiddie human shield strategy at every turn to blunt substantive criticism and dissent.
During the legislative battle that rammed the federal health care takeover through Capitol Hill and down our throats, President Obama and the Democrats piled up youth props around them like bunker sandbags. Nancy Pelosi wore babies like Wonder Woman bracelets, one on each arm, to deflect troublesome questions about costs and constitutional concerns.
Obamacare stage managers paraded 11-year-old Marcelas Owens of Washington state in front of the cameras to make the case for the half-trillion-dollar tax hike plan.
The boy's "qualifications"? Owens' mother, Tiffany, had died of pulmonary hypertension at the age of 27.
A single mother of three, she lost her job as a fast-food manager and lost her insurance. She received emergency care and treatment throughout her illness, but died in 2007.
As I noted at the time, Washington state already offered a plethora of existing government assistance programs to laid-off and unemployed workers like Marcelas' mom.
For some reason, unexplained by the family or its zealous exploiters, she didn't bother to enroll. Moreover, she died nine months after she reportedly lost her health insurance. By the time she lost her coverage through her employer, she was apparently already in dire health straits.
It's not clear that additional doctor visits in the subsequent months would have prevented her death. Continued...
Nor did Obamacare do anything to address very real flaws with our employer-sponsored health care system.
Young Marcelas admitted he didn't understand health insurance reform and didn't "think it's anyone's fault" that his mom died.
No matter. Big government-by-anecdote doesn't need the anecdotes to be true or the solutions to do anything effective to solve our problems.
The intellectual infantilization of politics and public policy is nothing new, of course.
The Clintons engaged in one of the most notorious examples of poster child abuse involving an ailing 7-year-old girl named Jennifer Bush.
Her mother, Kathleen, wrote to the White House about the agonizing decision to "choose between purchasing groceries for the week to feed your family or buying needed medications for your chronically ill child."
Her gall bladder, appendix and fragments of her intestines had been removed in a desperate attempt to diagnose her mystery sickness.
Coached by her overbearing mother, Jennifer gave the Clintons a lucky silver dollar "to bring you good luck so everyone can have good insurance." She dutifully told the press: "I pray every night that I can get better — and that everyone can have insurance."
Hillary trotted the family all over Capitol Hill for photo ops and press conferences on behalf of her health insurance mandate proposals.
Two hundred hospital visits, $2 million in medical bills later and two years after Hillary propped her up, doctors discovered that the only thing wrong with little Jennifer was that her mother had been starving and exploiting her while splurging on trips, motorcycles and home remodeling. Continued...
Bush was sentenced to five years in prison on two counts of aggravated child abuse and welfare fraud.
From health care to gun control, the left has perfected this fallacious art of prop-a-palooza — the well-being of the children and national discourse be damned.
Political vultures in Washington refuse to do the one thing that might actually benefit the children they recklessly use and abuse as fodder: Grow up.

Many features in your Nokia Lumia phone increase the demand on battery power and reduce the battery life time. For example if the signal strength of the mobile network varies much in your area, your phone must scan for the available network repeatedly. This increases the demand on battery power.
You can set your phone to automatically save power when the battery charge level is low. To check the battery status, and switch battery saver mode on, go to Settings > battery saver. Windows Phone 8: To choose when you want battery saver mode to be activated, switch Battery saver toggle to On and tap advanced.
Note: When Battery Saver is on, your phone will no longer: automatically receive email and calendar updates, update some Live Tiles and allow apps to run in the background.
If you are listening to music or otherwise using your phone, but do not want to make or receive calls, switch airplane (flight) mode on under the Settings menu.
To save battery power, note the following:
Background apps
The screen
Use network connections selectively
Anything else I need to know?
The instructions to save power on your Lumia phone presented on this video (English) from Nokia Care.
If the battery drains faster even there is no active feature or applications, try to switch off the power and then switch back on. The battery may also be worn out and needs to be replacing with a new one.
Use the following guidelines to increase your battery life time:
Make sure your phone is running the latest software. For downloads and assistance, go to your local Nokia website's support page.
If the battery loses the power fast even though there is no features consuming the power, the battery may be wearing out and you need to replace it with a new one.
If the battery keeps draining fast, the battery may be wearing out and require replacing.

Marc-Andre Fleury stopped 15 shots for the win, while Evgeni Malkin and Pascal Dupuis had two assists apiece.
Andy Greene scored a short-handed goal for the Devils. Martin Brodeur was sharp through two periods, stopping 17 of 19 shots, but allowed three goals in the third as the Penguins turned a one-goal game into a rout.

This was the first meeting between the teams this season. Boston won all six matchups last season, outscoring the Maple Leafs 36-10.

The Coyotes have gotten back to their stay-at-home style that helped them reach the Western Conference finals last season.
Smith was there to turn away anything that reached the net for his 20th career shutout, first this season.

Pros :
- Backup Battery
- Good FM reception
- Large Display ( Just the right brightness )
- Sleep Mode can be set at 90 , 60 , 30 and 15 mins
Cons :
- No digital audio tuning , turn a knob to tune
All in all an amazing buy , will order another one for the second bedroom.
This is a very good radio. The sound quality and loudness is excellent. Reception is clear.
The build quality is generally good. Only the switch to set the alarm mode to off/radio/buzzer feels to be a bit flimsy. Otherwise, it feels solid.
The display is sufficiently bright and displays the time/date/sleeper time information.
The only drawback i can point about this radio is that the FM/AM tuning is done manually through a knob. This makes tuning to the right frequency a bit cumbersome. It doesn't display the frequency on the LED screen either. It is thoroughly old-school, i.e. there is a red bar which moves showing the frequency.
It would have been nice if there was an auto-seek functionality.
Nevertheless, it is still a very good product. Does everything it says it does.
This is an elegant piece of clock radio which I bought based on my experience in the US.
However, I found the following issues with it.
1. This model does not support 12-Hour format which I prefer. It shows time only in 24-Hour format.
2. Battery back is really lousy. Of course, I knew it will not display the time during a power cut, but just keep the internal clock running. However, thanks to very frequent power cuts in our area recently, within a day the tiny little battery got drained out and set time got lost multiple times. I would imagine that providing a 9V battery is more reliable!!!
3. Another funny issue I see is, the FM radio comes on randomly on its own even though I've switched OFF the alarms and stuff. A couple of times, I thought my 5 year old son was fiddling with it!!!
Now I understand why I should go to the store to check the product first, before buying on flipkart. The product is made of cheap plastic. The speakers are bad. The tuning a pain.
The supplied batteries don't work. Avoid this product
I finally got myself an alarm clock after a lot of research on the internet, but there aren't a lot of options for which one to buy. I bought sony one just because of the brand name and nothing else.
Pros: Easy to setup.
Back-up cell is included in the packing itself.(only for storing the date and time)
Bright yellow LED display.
Good radio reception and a loud speaker volume.
Cons: Alarm Volume is too low.
Works only in 24 hours format.
Analog Radio tuning.
No back-up battery if the AC power goes out.
In Bangalore power can go out at anytime, so cant totally rely on the alarm to go off on time.
Its an ideal product for people who live an indo-american life, for me a strict no no. At this price point sony should at-least give a USB port so that it can play your favorite song as an alarm, it will be blissful to get up to your favorite song playing up in the morning.
Now, i have to put up my cell phone as the back-up alarm.
Verdict: The product is outdated. Buy it only if you really wanna buy it and use it as a show piece or just a normal digital table clock.

I own an apartment building. I thought it would be a great investment, and to be honest, I didn't think it would be all that much work. Boy was I wrong. Between dealing with tenants who never pay their rent on time, and all of the maintenance requests I get, this job is much harder than I ever would have imagined. Fortunately, the maintenance man I hired is one of the most hard working men I have ever met in my life. He is always on top of everything and my tenants really appreciate the effort he puts in.
When I was first rehabbing the building, I thought I would help cut costs by using generic appliances in most of the apartments. For the most part this turned out to be a smart decision, with the exception of one thing. The garbage disposals. It seems as if one of them is breaking every other day. This is why me and my maintenance guy decided to replace all of the garbage disposals with Badger 5 garbage disposal models. This is the best decision we've ever made because ever since the change, I haven't had one complaint of a broken disposal.

DoD carries weight of governmentwide small business goal
As the biggest spender in the federal government, the Defense Department has the greatest potential to award contracts to small businesses.

According to FPDS-NG, Department of the Army awarded $1,595,848,958 in simplified acquisitions during FY12. $808,390,465 of this was awarded to "Other Than Small Business" based on the Contracting Officers Business Size Selection. $164,344,369 was awarded without competition Orders placed against Basic Ordering Agreements (BOA) total $1,241,500 $34,957,400 was awarded against Indefinite Delivery Contracts (IDC) Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) Calls accounted for $391,018,715 in awards Nearly $600 million of the $808M awarded to "Other Than Small Business" never really saw the light of day from a competitive perspective. If the Army Contracting Command can create an opportunity for the "rule of two" to be applied to these and similar Simplified Acquisition buys, that would go a long way to creating additional opportunities for small and disadvantaged business concerns to do business with Army, and foster growth via past performance and increased relationships within the small government contractor industrial base. The American Small Business Coalition is willing to lend a supportive hand to the Army in achieving the goal cited by Ms. Williams, and to small businesses who want to know more about pursuing simplified acquisition opportunities.Guy Timberlake The American Small Business Coalition www.theasbc.org33665{ "Agree":"1","Funny":"1","Insightful":"1","Disagree":"-1","Offensive":"-1","Troll":"-1" }0DoD ContractsNorman's Motherare primarily awarded to the good old boy companies led by retired military officers.

This IS NOT A SMALL BUSINESS FRIENDLY PLAN. Competition works and please give us the opportunity to present our OPEN COMPETITION Federal Strategic Sourcing Initiative Procurement Solution - Our Strategic Sourcing procurement plan gives visible cost savings in a competitive environment We call this procurement solution: The 21st Century Open Competition Federal Strategic Sourcing Initiative also know as OCFSSI Our procurement solution is only a foundation base to work from and should be changed, tweaked and enhanced via an open inclusive democratic process. Please allow experts to analyze and compute savings vs DOD / GSA'S current non-competitive procurement solution Below is a summary of our 21st Century Procurement Solution : On an annual basis each company that holds a DOD / GSA Schedule Contract should be allowed to bid on each item / service in given schedule so the government can obtain the lowest cost / highest quality per bidder. The winning BPA DOD / GSA vendors should be rewarded with 5% of the total sales and the non-winning BPA vendors obtain 95% of total sales. Via DOD / GSA software automation and/or manpower the non-winning BPA vendors cannot upload given item(s) to DoD / GSAadvantage.gov or offer given item to the government unless they can provide a lower price or match the winning vendor item prices. Hence, reward the winning bidder with 5% total sales of a particular item/ schedule but allow other non-BPA-competitors to offer a lower or same price entailing 95% of total sales. This can be accomplished via 2 different procurement solutions See a) and b) below : a) If DOD / GSA has the automated software and manpower sophistication, hence DOD / GSA can reward given winning BPA Vendor with 5% total sales of given item (not total schedule) and non-BPA vendors 95% total item sales. This would incur more savings for the government and simultaneously give all vendors greater opportunities via competition. Again, this depends on DOD / GSA'S capabilities. b) If DOD / GSA does not possess automated software and/or abilities to reward BPAs per item hence during the interim DOD / GSA would reward given winning BPA Vendors 5% total sales of given schedule and give non-BPA Vendors 95% total schedule sales. Simultaneously and during this interim DOD / GSA would develop software so all DOD / GSA vendors at a predictable future date can make bids per item vs per schedule. This per item bid option would save the government an incredible amount of taxpayer dollars. c) Above option a and option b procurement solutions saves the taxpayers substantially more money vs the current DOD / GSA FSSI non-competitive procurement solution. Please allow experts to crunch the numbers, hence comparing our 21st Century procurement solution vs DOD / GSA'S current non-competitive FSSI procurement solution. d) Again our open competition solution does not require addition taxpayer dollars. DOD / GSA'S current FSSI procurement solution potentially denies 18,000 companies from selling to the federal government., hence leaving only 10 or 15 companies per schedule selling items to Uncle Sam. Via Economics 101 past experiences a handful of companies vs 10,000s of vendors will eventually create oligopolies & monopolies. I would like to present more 21st Century Competitive Solutions vs DOD / GSA'S current FSSI Again, our Open Competition DOD / GSA procurement solution does not require taxpayer dollars. Our open competition procurement solution is funded via putting all nonessential DOD / GSA projects on hold or lay off given DOD / GSA employees or increase or maintain current DOD / GSA vendor schedule fees. No additional taxpayer dollars are required for this project. I strongly believe DOD / GSA should modify existing software to control buyers rather than eliminating competition via the current DOD / GSA FSSI procurement program. If buyer breaks protocol hence buyer would be disciplined. This software project can be done without additional funding. DOD / GSA, DoD & NASA can prioritize this software project via existing employed Software Engineers. It takes the will and priority to make this happen. Also, if DOD / GSA claims it does not have available software engineers to complete this non-funded task hence, DOD / GSA can put all nonessential DOD / GSA projects on hold or lay off given DOD / GSA employees or increase or maintain current DOD / GSA vendor schedule fees. No additional taxpayer dollars are required for this project. From what I can see there are some really big holes in the procurement process. 1) Via this GAO report http://www.gao.gov/products/GAO-12-705T most purchases were made outside of DOD / GSA procurement web site www.DoD / GSAadvantage.gov. ; A solution to this problem would be take away the buyers PHYSICAL credit card and store the credit card information online via www.DoD / GSAadvantage.gov ; This also protects the credit card # and information from possibly being compromised. Again this software project can be done with no additional funding. Amazon.com is a perfect example if you want to see how this works. I know the government is not a company but I am certain DOD / GSA has great software engineers to accomplish this task via a top priority and no additional funding software project. For open market purchases buyer currently utilize fbo.gov and/or other existing procurement sites. The same projects can be accomplished via these sites. 2) An independent software company should be allowed to screen scrape information from DoD / GSAadvantage.gov to prove selected FSSI Vendors "DO NOT" offer the lowest prices/ best quality. 3) Via Vendor uploads develop back end software to monitor and reject over-priced items. Example a box of paper should not sell more than $50 hence boxes of paper selling for more than $50 would be red flagged hence denying this item upload to DoD / GSAadvantage.gov. DOD / GSA software engineers would need to create software to utilize statistical databases. Top-notch software companies may be required to assist DOD / GSA software engineers. 4) I believe various government buyers have different volume purchase requirements. FSSI is not a one size fits all solution. Example many government buyers have less than a $3,000 requirement. Internet purchasing may be more advantageous for this type of purchase. Example open competition via DoD / GSAadvantage.gov 5) DOD / GSA claims its employees are overworked and can no longer handle additional and/or existing vendors. All existing employee manual operations should be analyzed via DOD / GSAs Software Engineers to automate current manual human labor. It may be possible to handle unlimited vendors and buyers once this project is completed. Each new additional DOD / GSA Human assignment should be analyzed by software engineers for possible automation. Again this can be a non-funded project as explained above. 6) I strongly believe an independent software company should be given the opportunity to present additional 21st Century solutions hence enhancing our 21st Century ALL AMERICAN Open Competition Federal Strategic Sourcing Initiative also know as OCFSSI. 7) Reduce the number of schedule solicitations. Currently DOD / GSA claims it costs $3,000 per year, per contract to maintain each contract and numerous DOD / GSA employees. There are 40 solicitations (DOD / GSA and VA). The solicitations should be consolidated down to a handful with a goal of a single solicitation (contractors could then choose to consolidate their contracts or maintain separate contracts depending on their business models). The current structure of the schedules often forces companies to submit multiple offers for multiple contracts when a single contract would be more efficient. Consolidating solicitations allows companies to efficiently and effectively consolidate contracts rather than having multiple contracts across schedules and business lines. This approach would provide the opportunity for contractors and DOD / GSA to reduce costs associated with seeking, obtaining and managing multiple schedule contracts. It is an opportunity to leverage contractor and DOD / GSA resources through a more efficient structure. Consolidating schedules would lead to a more efficient and effective platform for market research by customer agencies. Also all human manual work should be analyzed via DOD / GSA software engineers for automation and efficiency. 8) Congress needs to investigate if DOD / GSA's software is awash in horrible spaghetti software code making it virtually impossible to make necessary modifications to move this agency into the 21st century. Hiring competent small business software companies would be the logical choice to fix this problem. Again, Our Open Competition DOD / GSA procurement solution does not require taxpayer dollars. Our open competition procurement solution is funded via putting all nonessential DOD / GSA projects on hold or lay off given DOD / GSA employees or increase or maintain current DOD / GSA vendor schedule fees. No additional taxpayer dollars are required for this project. 9) It is this writer's belief FSSI is nothing similar to Corporate volume purchasing. Example lets take Walmart. They currently have 66,000 vendors and counting each day. FSSI eliminates virtually all competition with possible oligopoly price fixing. Keep in mind all vendor prices are available via DoD / GSAadvantage.gov Giving very few companies exclusive selling rights via a long term contract and eliminating competition is not the answer. Why have 1,000s of existing DOD / GSA software programs go to waste monitoring a few vendors. DOD / GSA needs to enhance existing software to truly and easily maintain a vigorous open competitive market via existing web sites (DoD / GSAadvantage.gov and other existing procurement sites). Programmatically controlling the buyer via software is the 21st solution. Thank you very much for reading and compiling this logical and open competition procurement solution called The 21st Century Open Competition Federal Strategic Sourcing Initiative also know as OCFSSI. I still believe in open competition and American Free Enterprise will always prevail over oligopolies and monopolies. I strongly believe our 21st Century Open Competition Procurement Solution is superior to the current DOD / GSA FSSI procurement solution. I am certain the American people would agree with me.33733{ "Agree":"1","Funny":"1","Insightful":"1","Disagree":"-1","Offensive":"-1","Troll":"-1" }0small businesswoodrobudaas always you guys rock.... So the following statement should not be construed as politically incorrect but since the issue I'm about to name is currently before the Surpremes, it should be mentioned very explicitly. I desire feedback even from the editorial staff. Is not this move toward small business a new corporate entitlement program? Is not this move to facilitate small business not a quota system? Finally, (and perhaps the most "radically") is not this move toward small business not an affirmative action program? I know how these questions sound but this tilt (years in the making now) is so dramatic that it will force a whole new economic model for many companies (large and mid-sized certainly). This may seem as though it's a cynical response to FrankJr but it really isn't. These changes are a redefinition of who can be successful. I don't necessarily believe it's all bad but I'm not so naieve as to believe it's good either. What's most disturbing is the notion that the government can force changes to their suppliers and expect that there are not consequences for driving down costs. How am I wrong?38245{ "Agree":"1","Funny":"1","Insightful":"1","Disagree":"-1","Offensive":"-1","Troll":"-1" }0

Oyster Bay Town Councilman Salvatore R. Mosca said that "when the 18-year old pool was being prepared for opening, a major break occurred in the main feeder line. Parks Department personnel drained some the pool water in order to make the necessary repairs. "When the pool was opened on June 19, personnel became aware that water was still being lost and consequently, pool temperatures were lowered because of the need to replenish the water supply each day. On Monday evening, July 19," Mosca continued, "a drain valve, which was thought to be completely closed, required an additional two rotations with a special wrench to completely shut it off. Another leak was also discovered in the piping near the kiddie pool which feeds two water sprayers and this has now been completely shut off." One week after the leaks had been located and repaired, pool temperature readings are stable at 78-80 degrees and are expected to remain in this range, depending on weather conditions for the remainder of the swimming season.

NATO says the majority of attacks by Afghan security forces against coalition troops are driven primarily by personal grievances rather than an infiltration by insurgents.
"Some 10 percent we know are related to the insurgency," Brig. Gen. Gunter Katz, a spokesman for the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force, said late Friday.
The news follows word that U.S. Marine Gen. John Allen, commander of NATO troops in Afghanistan, ordered all troops in the country to carry loaded weapons around the clock following a spate of attacks by people wearing Afghan security uniforms, a U.S. official with direct knowledge of the order told CNN.
Allen's order, made in recent days, was divulged amid two more so-called green-on-blue or insider attacks Friday.
There have been a record 31 such attacks this year that have resulted in the deaths of 39 NATO service members, according to a report Friday on NATO's official online video channel.
The British Ministry of Defence, meanwhile, said Saturday that a British soldier was killed "by enemy action" Friday while on sentry duty in Helmand province in the south.
The death was not related to a green-on-blue attack, said Maj. Martyn Crighton, an ISAF spokesman. He did not release details about the attack or the nationality of the service member killed.
Troops in Afghan combat situations have always been armed, while only security forces have been regularly armed at the headquarters bases.
Under Allen's order, troops regardless of their tasks will now carry loaded weapons, said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity.
While Katz did not comment on Allen's order, he said ISAF was taking steps to mitigate such attacks.

Telestroke scheme aids stroke patients at north Cumbria's hospitals
Last updated at 13:07, Wednesday, 22 August 2012
More than 600 patients have been given "virtual" advice in a high tech scheme led by north Cumbria hospitals.
Stroke specialists at the Cumberland Infirmary and the West Cumberland Hospital now use video technology so that patients can be seen 24 hours a day.
The Telestroke service – which uses laptop computers to link experts from eight hospitals in the north west – was launched by north Cumbria's hospitals in a scheme involving Cumbria and Lancashire last summer.
It has since helped hundreds of patients, including dozens locally, and many of who have been able to receive potentially life-saving drugs.
It was launched by local specialists to help more stroke victims access special clot-busting drugs – which can dramatically improve the chances of recovery. Until a year ago, this specialist treatment – called thrombolysis – was only available if they took ill in normal office hours.
This was because the Cumberland Infirmary and West Cumberland Hospital, like many other hospitals in areas with fairly low populations, did not have enough specialist consultants to staff the emergency service 24/7.
They came up with the idea of teaming up with other hospitals in Cumbria and Lancashire to launch the pioneering Telestroke service.
A total of 15 stroke consultants are now working to provide out of hours advice – made possible thanks to video links and high-speed broadband technology.
A unit is positioned at the patient's bedside in A&E or the stroke unit. Consultants are then able to have a two-way virtual consultation.
Since its launch last summer, 343 advice calls have taken place. A further 319 Telestroke assessments have been carried out and 131 of them have been thrombolysed.
Almost 100 of these patients were from the Carlisle and Whitehaven hospital sites.
In recognition of the success of the service, Virgin Media Business – which provides all the equipment and IT infrastructure – made a short film which has been distributed to clients and broadcast on the internet. As the lead provider, filming took place at the Cumberland Infirmary with the focus on elderly care consultant Dr Paul Davies, who led the development of the service.
The film also featured Carlisle's Howard Thomas – the first patient to be treated using Telestroke.
Dr Davies, said: "Thrombolysis treatment can only be given to patients within four and a half hours of the onset of their stroke. The sooner treatments can be provided, the better the outcome for patients."
He urged anyone who spots the potential signs of a stroke – facial weakness, arm weakness and speech disturbance – to call 999 immediately.

Recap: Missouri 63, Florida 60
Missouri 63, No. 4 Florida 60: Laurence Bowers tallied 17 points and 10 rebounds as the host Tigers rallied in the second half to avenge a blowout loss last month and remain undefeated at home.Jabari Brown scored 12 points and Phil Pressey finished with 10 assists for Missouri (19-7, 8-5 SEC), which rebounded from a 31-point loss at Florida exactly one month ago and improved to 15-0 at home this season.Mike Rosario had 14 points and Kenny Boynton finished with 11 to pace Florida (21-4, 11-2).The Gators led by as much as 13 points midway through the second half, but the Tigers closed to within one three times before taking their first lead of the game at 59-57 on a three-point play by Pressey with 2:51 remaining. Scottie Wilbekin answered with a step-back 3-pointer with 1:37 left to give Florida a short-lived one-point advantage.Bowers gave Missouri the lead for good on the next possession with a jumper, and the defense forced two missed 3-point attempts over the next two possessions. Keion Bell added a pair of free throws with 3.1 seconds left to stretch the margin to 63-60, and Pressey was able to challenge Rosario as his potential game-tying 3 from the left baseline was long. GAME NOTEBOOK: Missouri outscored Florida in the paint 24-16 after Florida won the battle 48-14 in the first meeting. … The Gators shot 40.7 percent from the floor, only the third time in the last 15 games they failed to hit half of their field goal attempts. … The Tigers improved to 11-1 following a loss under coach Frank Haith and have won four straight home games against ranked opponents.

"The moment of death is a tremendous opportunity, if we understand clearly what is happening and have prepared well for it in life. For at the actual moment of death, the thinking ego-mind dies into the essence, and in this truth, enlightenment takes place." --Sogyal Rinpoche
Many of us have chosen to become members of the Austin Shambhala Meditation Center to support our meditation practice with the help of the community of fellow practitioners on this path. Our rich, nurturing andgenerous sangha has helped us to open our hearts further to the teachings and, over time, these individuals have become our closest friends, most insightful teachers and loving family. Through joyful events like birth, unions and celebrations as well as through the more difficult transitions like sickness, loss and death our sangha is truly a precious jewel for each of us on our path.
In this meeting we will continue the discussion begun last November around working with death, dying and grieving at the center. If you missed the first meeting, please feel free to join us for this one. This meeting will focus more on the creation of specific groups and teams to handle both the practical aspects and the practice aspects surrounding the loss of community members.
Please note that this discussion is for members of the Austin Shambhala Meditation Center only. If you would like information on becoming a member please contact Melinda Rothouse at firstname.lastname@example.com.
