Hugh Masekela
South African jazz trumpeter Hugh Masekela has a sound that bellows as loudly and proudly as his opinion. Known for his radical and personal outspoken political commentary against apartheid (his "Bring Him Back Home" was an African national anthem during the Free Nelson Mandela movement), his jazz voice is generally less harsh and more radiant in approach and subject matter. Even if you forgo his peppy '60s chart smash "Grazing in the Grass" (and why would you?), his oeuvre is rich with pop-timistic, bright, and brassy tones. He packs a mean wallop when it comes to heavy-duty dance music, as evidenced by 1984's Technobush. One of Masekela's most joyous albums is his most recent, 2012's Jabulani, inspired by the South African wedding traditions of his childhood. No matter the era or voice, there's plenty to love throughout Hugh Masekela's entire catalog.

Great customer service via the chat. There was always someone there to answer my questions promptly and efficiently. Loved designing my own t-shirt on the website, easily shared with my teamates for their approval, and managing a group order was a piece of cake. Shipment was on time and I was kept updated of the delivery status. I loved the little note inside the box that mentioned that if I wasn't satisfied to contact customer service. Overall a great experience. Great job!

very fast professional service.

CustomInk was great! My only complaint would be is that they don't make it very clear on the Canadian website that the prices will be in USD
Steinbach Bible College,

Quality is perfect, logo printed great, and everyone we know is asking us for a t-shirt! We'll just have to order more ;)

Great customer service that goes beyond expectations.
Kingston, ON, Canada
I loved you guys! From the fun commercial, to the website, to the follow up emails wishing our team luck for the season. Who does that?! Awesome companies - that's who! And when people ask who I used and I say "Custom Ink" all I have heard is "Oh I've seen some commercial for that, they seem cool". Correct. So thank you and keep doing what you're doing!
Oshawa, ON, Canada
I have never been disappointed when I've ordered from CustomInk. The service is always so inviting and personal, and the product is of great quality. I really enjoy working with CustomInk employees, I always have a really enjoyable time talking with them on the phone and working with them through e-mail.
Diocese of Mackenzie-Fort Smith,
Yellowknife, NT, Canada
Exceptional customer service in getting a font that wasn't shown on your website. It was just a fluke that I asked about getting "Chiller". Maybe this should be indicated because it made me very happy to know that they could do this. If I had found out after the fact, I would have been very disappointed. Even with adjustments the tee-shirts arrived in advance of the scheduled date. One thing that did irritate me was that they were advertised as Canadian, ended up on a US website and had to pay in US dollars. Tee-shirts actually came from within Canada as per the shipping information. This is the one thing that lowers my experience with this site. Pricing should have been in Canadian dollars.

Paul Brubaker's role in making the Clinger-Cohen Act a reality is one of the highlights of his lengthy career.
When Paul Brubaker went to work at the Defense Department in January, he brought a wealth of experience with him. He has a long track record of work in and out of government. The role that might be its capstone is his time as minority staff director of the Senate Oversight of Government Management Subcommittee, where he spearheaded the creation and passage of the Clinger-Cohen Act.
Now he is DOD's director of planning and performance management on the staff of Deputy Chief Management Officer Elizabeth McGrath.
A look at little-known agency experts who are pushing critical broad-based initiatives, plus other leaders whose influence bears watching.
"What makes Paul unique is the diversity of experience he's had," said Kent Schneider, president and CEO of AFCEA International. "He's one of those guys who really get how government works, which is really important. You can be in this town a long time and not really understand how government works, if you haven't seen it from several perspectives."
Brubaker's career has not taken the typical arc in which someone works for the government for 20 or 30 years and then "retires" to a job in the private sector. Instead, his history weaves between the two worlds and includes a variety of positions in both sectors, including a presidential appointment as deputy CIO/deputy assistant secretary of defense in 1999.
Now he is back at DOD at a time when budgets are tight and spending discipline is at a premium. Brubaker says his hopscotch résumé has been the perfect preparation for the job. And the current interest in cost savings and efficiencies is reminiscent of his early work with the Government Accountability Office, the Clinger-Cohen bill and DOD. It "was kind of the hallmark of my government career before," he said.
Brubaker speaks of "driving cost visibility into the government, driving cost savings into the government" with the familiarity of one who has advocated just that for his entire career. When other officials note the importance of the return on investment, he said, "that ROI mantra is something I've been talking about for 20 years."

The agency is making strides in developing and deploying border technologies but still has some weaknesses.
"The role that might be its capstone is his time as minority staff director of the Senate Oversight of Government Management Subcommittee, where he spearheaded the creation and passage of the Clinger-Cohen Act."
The Clinger-Cohen Act was premised on the GAO/IBM theory that an "enterprise architecture" must be in place before an organization's IT systems will become effective and efficient.
No one in the academic IT-research community, however, has ever been able to demonstrate empirically (using data from multiple firms) that an "enterprise architecture" is always necessary - or even useful - for the development of effective and efficient IT systems.
The GAO, after having successfully lobbied for the passage of the Clinger-Cohen Act in 1996, has never presented anything but the sketchiest of anecdotal evidence - e.g., a quote from one (!) private-sector CIO interviewed in 1994 - to support its endlessly repeated claim (repeated in literally hundreds of subsequent GAO reports) that enterprise architectures are important and necessary.
On the other hand, the building of "enterprise architectures" has been extremely profitable for a number of major defense contractors, including (ironically enough) IBM itself, which (along with certain corporate partners) collected over 400 million dollars between 2001 and 2005 building an "enterprise architecture" for the DOD, only to see the resulting product rejected by the GAO in 2005 as being "incomplete, inconsistent, and not integrated."
I fear Mr. Brubaker has been part of the problem - not the solution - for the DOD in the past, and that his efforts in the Office of the Deputy Chief Management Officer at DOD will do nothing to make that office any more productive than it has been over the last five years.

No. 809,951 filed Mar. 24, 1969, now abandoned.
This invention relates to polymeric compositions exhibiting thermochromism and articles made therefrom.
It has previously been proposed, in U.S. Pat. No. 3,236,651, granted Feb. 22, 1966 to A. M. Marks, et al, to provide thermoplastic polymers which exhibit color changes on exposure to light or on heating. These polymers, for example copolymers of vinyl alcohol and vinyl acetate, have incorporated a transition metal halide, for example cupric chloride or bromide, and a fugitive ligand, for example water. The changes in the color of the exemplary composition are attributed to changes in the environment of the copper ion resulting from the gain 'or loss of water as a ligand. The color of such a material is, however, sensitive also to the humidity of the atmosphere surrounding the polymeric material. It appears that if the atmosphere is very dry the color will change only very slowly to that corresponding to the water-containing state of the metal ions environment.
The materials suggested suffer additionally from the disadvantage that they lack form stability at high tem perature, which limits the temperature of the color transition (and hence the usefulness of the materials) to within a ran 'e below the softening point, or crystalline melting pr ll where appropriate, of the polymer used. Further, the metal halides are incorporated into the polymers by evaporating the solvent from a solution of the halide and the polymer. Such a procedure limits the materials which can be employed as well as the shapes into which the composition can be formed.
In the manufacture and use of heat-recoverable articles, it is frequently desirable or even essential to have a readily available indication of the temperature of the article. Heat recoverable articles are articles which have been deformed from an original dimensional state in which they are stable to heat to a deformed dimensional state in which they are unstable to heat, returning, when heated, to their original stable state. One example of such an article is a heat-shrinkable tube which will remain at a certain diameter until heated to or above a certain temperature, its recovery temperature, when it will shrinkThe use of such a tube for encapsulation, corrosion protection, electrical insulation or decoration is obvious. Materials and processes suitable for the manufacture of heat-recoverable articles are given, for example, in U.S. Pat. No. 2,027,962 granted Jan. 14, 1936 to L. M. Currie, U.S. Pat. No. 3,086,242 granted Apr. 23, 1963 to P. M. Cook, et al, U.S. Pat. No. 3,243,21 l granted Mar. 29, 1966 and U.S. Pat. No. 3,297,819 granted Jan. 10, 1967 to J. D. Wetmore, the disclosures of all of which are incorporated herein by reference.
Frequently, heat-recoverable articles are used in proximity to heat-sensitive articles, for example printed circuit boards, and it is necessary to ensure that the temperature of the recoverable article does not exceed a certain maximum. In other circumstances, recovery is carried out in adverse conditions where it may be difficult to ascertain whether a sufficiently high temperature has been reached. For example, the heat recoverable article may be a sleeve having a fusible lining which is to be recovered over a pipe joint in a trench, the lining being designed to aid in sealing the joint. If the sleeve is not heated sufficiently, the lining may not flow sufiiciently to achieve the seal.
More recently, heat-recoverable articles have been used as toys and other non-utilitarian goods in which the interest of a child or adult is gained or held by the change in shape of the article on heating. in such a case, it may be desirable to give a. warning of the temperature reached by the article.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the invention to provide polymeric thermochromic materials capable of being formed into articles to which may be imparted the property of heat recoverability. It is a further object of the invention to provide materials from which may be made a toy, especially a heat-recoverable toy, having enhanced interest and improved safety. It is another object of the invention to provide heat-recoverable articles showing thermochromism. It is a further object of the invention to provide a simple temperature indicator. Other objects will become apparent from the following description.
The present invention accordingly provides a heat recoverable article formed from a thermochromic composition comprising a polymer having an inorganic compound uniformly dispersed therein.
Examples of thermochromic inorganic compounds are given in an article by Jesse l-l. Day entitled Thermochrornism of Inorganic Compounds" in Chemical Reviews, 68, 649 (1968) the disclosure of which article is incorporated herein by reference. In Table W of that article there is given a list of inorganic compounds together with the temperature at which each changes color. The following examples form an extract from that table, but it is to be understood that the scope of this invention is not limited to this extract or the table.
The article makes it clear that the temperature of color change (the transition temperature) depends on the environment and the rate of heating, and the environment of the compound also influences the rate of the return of the cold color on cooling. It is a matter of routine experiment following the guidelines of the article to ascertain the transition temperature of a particular salt in a given polymer composition. It is also a matter of routine experiment to determine the appropriate salt for incorporation into a given polymer, or, where a particular color change or transition temperature is desired, the appropriate polymer for a given salt.
Best results (visually) are achieved when the thermochromic compound can be dispersed homogeneously in the polymer by, for example, the use of a solvent common to the polymer and the compound or by blending the compound into the polymer on a mill. Although thermochromic articles can be made if the inorganic compound is only partially dispersed, normally transparent or translucent polymers are rendered opaque by the particles. Of course, any means of incorporating the thermochromic compound into the polymer, including mixing the two materials in liquid or powder form, may be employed.
After incorporating appropriate thermochromic compounds into a polymer, the composition can be shaped and rendered heat-recoverable by normal methods. For example, polyethylene into which has been blended cobalt stearate can be extruded into a tube, crosslinked by radiation, and expanded to form a heat-shrinkable tube which on heating to cause recovery changes from pink to blue, returning to its original pink color on cooling.
Any of the polymers normally used in the manufacture of heat-recoverable articles may be employed in the present invention. There may be mentioned, for example, polyolefines, e.g., polyethylene, copolymers of ethylene with ethylenically unsaturated monomers, e.g., ethylene/ethyl acrylate, ethylene/vinyl acetate copolymers, polyvinyl chloride, elastomers, silicones, polytetrafluoroethylene, polyurethanes and ionomers, crosslinked where necessary or desired, either by radiation or chemical means. It will be appreciated that those materials which can be rendered heatrecoverable below their softening point, for example polyvinyl chloride, need not but may be crosslinked where for example it is desired to reduce the risk of damage to the article by overheating. Further, the use of crosslinked materials enables thermochromic materials to be incorporated which have transition temperatures above the softening or crystalline melting temperature of the polymer. For example, it may be necessary in some instances to continue heating a recoverable sleeve for some time after recovery has taken place to ensure, for example, that a meltable layer inside the sleeve has been raised to its melting temperature.
The use of a crosslinked polymer in combination with a thermochromic material having a transition temperamochromic material having a transition temperature.
slightly below the maximum safe temperature of the substrate, so that an operator can readily see that further heat should not be applied to the article or the part of the article whose color has changed.
In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the heatrecoverable article is a toy which changes color at or about the recovery temperature. There have recently been developed a number of toys and games which utilize the property of heat recoverability. For example, an article is molded or otherwise formed into the shape of an animal, real or imaginary, a human, or a monster, the material is crosslinked (if necessary) and distorted into a configuration which conceals the nature of the article from which it was formed, for example by compressing into a plaque or block. The article can then be heated to cause it to recover to its original configuration, and the recovery process proves to be a source of considerable excitement and interest to children and many adults. This interest can be considerably enhanced by using the present invention to cause the arti cle to change its color during the heating process, returning to its original color, but not of course its original shape, on cooling. The color change can also be used as a safety device, since if necessary the child can be warned not to touch the article while it shows its hot color. By constructing articles having a non-constant cross-section, a variety of shades can be achieved during the heating and cooling processes, the thinner portions heating and cooling more rapidly. The thermochromic article may thus be of interest as a toy even without the property of heat-recovery. By incorporating suitable pigments, either in all or part only of the article, different colors can be achieved with the same thennochromic additive. It is also within the scope of the invention to use two or more different thermochromic compounds, either in the same or different parts of the article. The compounds may have the same or different transition temperatures, whereby a variety of efiects, both useful and aesthetic, may be achieved by the present invention.
The proportion of thermochromic compound in the composition will be determined, inter alia, by the intensity of color change effect desired, the inherent intensity of the colors exhibited by the compound in its different states, the translucency and thickness of the polymer. Up to 10 percent, based on the weight of the polymer, of the thermochromic compound, will normally be sufficient, but greater or lesser quantities may of course be employed. For small articles which should be transparent or at least translucent, l to 2 percent of compound is normally sufficient.
An especially suitable composition for use in the present invention comprises an ionomer containing cobaltous ions. Examples of ionomers suitable for use in this aspect of the invention are those described in US. Pat. No. 3,264,272 granted Aug. 22, 1966 to R. W. Rees, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference. These materials are typically copolymers of a-olefms and ethylenically unsaturated acids, some of the acid groups of which copolymers have been neutralized by metal ions. Other suitable ionomers are those described in US. Pat. No. 3,322,734 granted May 30, 1967 to R. W. Rees, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference. These materials are typically copolymers of a-olefinically unsaturated materials (other than a-olefins) and ethylenically unsaturated acids, some acid groups having been neutralized by metal ions.
It is to be understood that the cobaltous ions referred to above are present in addition to the ions present in the polymer to neutralize some of the acid groups. In general, the cobalt compounds suitable for use in the invention are those which will react with the free carboxylic acid group to give a by-product which can be removed from the polymer under the conditions of mixing the polymer and the cobalt salt. For example, the salts of divalent cobalt with nitric, acetic and hydrohalic acids, as well as cobaltous hydroxide, are suitable, these acids and water being volatile at the temperature of blending on a mill, i.e., C. On the other hand,
cobaltous sulphate and cobalt hydrogen phosphate have not proved suitable, either because they do not react with the (relatively weak) acid groups of the polymer, because the free acid resulting from any reaction is insufficiently volatile to escape from the polymer, or through a combination of these two effects. In any case, it is a matter of simple experiment to determine the suitability of a particular cobalt compound.
A second group of cobalt compounds comprises those which are miscible with the polymer not by virtue of the presence of a soluble or reactive cobalt cation but because of the nature of the anion. Examples of such materials are the cobaltous salts of fatty acids, especially long chain fatty acids, for example cobalt stearate.
The effect of the metal ions in the copolymer matrix is to make the room temperature properties of the material more closely allied to a crosslinked polymer than non crosslinked thermoplastic material. On raising the temperature of the ionomer, it becomes more like a thermoplastic material, although its viscosity is higher than that of the parent copolymer, and is melt fabricable. Once, however, all the acid groups are neutralized, no further improvement in either room temperature or melt properties is obtained by adding further metal ions, and the material becomes considerably less tractable in the melt, and it is therefore desirable for the purposes of the present invention to maintain at least a small proportion of free acid groups in the molecule.
The present invention also provides a crosslinked ionomer containing cobaltous ions, and heat recoverable articles formed of such an ionomer. Crosslinking may be achieved either by chemical means or by irradiation. In general, crosslinking methods known to be suitable for crosslinking polyethylene and polymers of ethylenically unsaturated monomers are suitable for crosslinking the cobalt-containing ionomers of the present invention.
The concentration of cobalt ion in the ionomer will depend on the intensity of color change required. As stated above, the quantity of metal ions in the composition should not exceed that sufficient to neutralize all the acid groups. This quantity will exceed the quantity calculated on the basis of stoichiometry so that, in general, it may be assumed that the total metal ion content of the polymer will be at most about the stoichiometric equivalent of the acid groups. The physical properties of the polymer, other than its color, depend more on the degree of neutralization of the acid groups than the identity of the metal ions. In general, about 1 to 2 percent (by weight of the polymer) of a hydrated cobaltous salt, e.g., CoCl '6H O, may be added to a commercially available ionomer to give a clearly visible color change with temperature. The color of the polymer is influenced also by the identity of the ion (other than cobalt) which neutralizes some of the acid groups. The color may also be changed by the addition of suitable pigments.
The cobaltous compound may be incorporated into the ionomer by any conventional method, especially those described in the above-mentioned Rees patents. As stated therein, milling the compound into the polymer at a temperature within the 150 to 200 C range is especially suitable. Further details of suitable methods are given in U.S. Pat. No. 3,404,134, granted Oct.
l, 1968, to R. W. Rees, the disclosure of which is incorporated by reference herein.
The following numbered examples illustrate the invention:
EXAMPLES Example 1 Approximately 2 grams of cobalt stearate, a purple crystalline solid, were milled into grams of DYNH,
a low density polyethylene, melt index 2, density 0.918, on a rubber mill at 150 C. The stearate turned blue as it was incorporated into the hot polyethylene to give a uniform translucent product which turned light purple on cooling. The material was pressed into slabs of thickness 0.15 cm and irradiated to a dose of 20 megorads. The irradiated slabs were stretched on heating to 150 C, and held extended until cold. The extended slab was again heated, upon which it shrank to its original length. The color of the slab changed from light purple to dark blue on heating, reverting to light green on cooling. On heating again, the slab returned to dark blue, returning to light green on cooling. Example 2 Similar results were obtained when an ethylene/vinyl acetate copolymer was used' instead of polyethylene. The copolymer was DQDE 1868, a general purpose injection molding copolymer, melt index 2.5. Comparisons A and B Attempts were made to incorporate hydrated cobaltous chloride and acetate into polyethylene and an ethylene/vinyl acetate copolymer. These materials re mained in particulate form, and a uniform blend could not be obtained. These comparisons indicate that the polymer and salt must be compatible to be suitable for use in the invention. Example 3 100 grams of Texin 480, a thermoplastic polyurethane formed from a hydroxyl-terminated polyester, methylene-p-phenylene diisocyanate and a diol, were blended on a mill at C with 2 grams of cobalt acetate. The resulting product was uniformly transparent, indicating complete compatibility changing from pale pink when cold to light blue when heated to 200 C. It is contemplated that this material may be crosslinked and rendered heat-recoverable by the method described in co-pending application Ser. No. 502,623 in the name of Edward C. Stivers, and commonly assigned with this application, the disclosure of which is incorporated by reference herein (and to which British Pat. No. 1,133,436 corresponds). Comparison C Example 3 was repeated using cobalt stearate instead of cobalt acetate. A dark brown, non-uniform, incompletely mixed material resulted, again illustrating the need for compatibility. It is believed that the highly polar nature of the Texin polyurethane causes solution of the acetate, but not of the longer-chained stearate, ion. This behavior is in conformity with that of the nonpolar polyethylene, which is miscible with the stearate but not the acetate. Examples 4 to 17 In these examples, various cobalt salts were milled into samples of an ionomer manufactured by Messrs. E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Company and sold under their trade mark Surlyn A. The materials used were Surlyn A 1560, an ethylene/unsaturated carboxylic acid copolymer partially neutralized with sodium ions,
described by the manufacturers as suitable for injection molding, and Surlyn A 1800, a similar. copolymer partially neutralized with zinc ions, described by the manufacturers as suitable for wire and cable insulation. In

Does anyone know how to display a different CSS class for the last list_item returned from wp_list_pages? I want to style the last list item differently from all the others. Any ideas?
Does anyone know how to display a different CSS class for the last list_item returned from wp_list_pages? I want to style the last list item differently from all the others. Any ideas?
While its specific to specific page ID # and not generic to the last item in the list, if your list of pages is static you can do it this way.
wp_list_pages assigns classes to every list item it generates, like this:
<li class="page_item page-item-55">
page_item is generic, page-item-55 is specific.
55 is the post id of that item. So if your last page is ID#55, you can add css like this:
li.page-item-55 { [put CSS stuff for last page here] }
if you change the last page to a different last page at some point, you will have to change your CSS.
Use the browser's View Source to find the class assigned to your last li item.
I actually wanted a dynamic way to do this, where pages can be added without having to change the CSS and I figured out a way to do it.
I wanted a | separator between my li links and I used the :first-child pseudo class in my CSS in order to keep a | from showing up after the last list-item. Works like a charm!
CSS3 offers the following solution:
li:last-child {
⋮ declarations
Unfortunately Opera 9.5 is the only browser that has full support on this pseudo class. IE doesn't support it at all, Firefox 1.0, 1.5 & 2.0 does but is buggy. Don't know if 3.0 has full support. Safari 1.3, 2.0 & 3.0 also have buggy support.
But hey you can try it. The worst thing that could happen is that people will actually see you styled your last list element differently.
I think you might run into problems with :first-child in IE6.
I know an extra separator at the beginning of your Page lists isn't that big a deal, but if you want a cross-browser solution then you can use Page Lists Plus to dynamically add a class of "first_item" to the first item in your Page lists.
- Tim
Isn't it sad that we still have to be considerate of an 8 year old browser like IE6? Unfortunately 23% of the visitors on the websites I run still use IE6. I even had some hits from IE4.0 last week!!
If you put the
:first-child and
:last-child at the bottom of your external stylesheet it won't give you any problems in IE6. If it stops rendering at those lines doesn't doesn't matter because there's nothing after it.

Montrealers have always had a fondness for Jean Paul Gaultier, and he apparently for us, having accepted a proposal from the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts to mount a quasi-retrospective exhibition. The show, The Fashion World of Jean Paul Gaultier: From the Catwalk to the Sidewalk, is a celebration of the designer's humanism and embrace of beauty in all its guises.
It's difficult enough for aspiring filmmakers to get attention crafting works in their mother tongue. But Montreal natives Jamie Elman and Eli Batalion chose to up the ante by creating a web series in Yiddish, albeit with English subtitles. However, lest anyone get the impression that their YidLife Crisis series is some sort of homage to such Yiddish literature luminaries like Sholem Alecheim or Isaac Bashevis Singer, be warned that this web series is anything but. The boys are more steeped in the tradition of Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld, Woody Allen and Jackie Mason. Which is to say that the humour is rooted in much irreverence, but with a Yiddish twist.

I've had the EZPZ plugin on for a few versions of wordpress because it seems to be the only plugin capable of sending an archived version of the site to dropbox. Unfortunately it is plagued with problems:
-Support: I've posted questions to the author's 'support' section (comments at the bottom of the EZPZ backup page) and it just remained "awaiting moderation" and eventually just disappeared.
-After a few weeks it stopped sending backups to dropbox at all, but i didn't receive a specific warning, just noticed that the "backup complete" emails stopped arriving
-The DB backups were empty, just 16 lines of comments and nothing more!!!
-Eventually fails completely and results in a "No Results Found" page when using EZPZ admin
This could be a great plugin if these huge failures are addressed, but until then I'll look elsewhere.

Defense Base Act Insurance:
Review Needed of Cost and Implementation Issues
GAO-05-280R: Published: Apr 29, 2005. Publicly Released: Apr 29, 2005.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-4587
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Since the Iraq conflict began in March 2003, the Departments of Defense (DOD) and State, the U.S. Agency for International Development, and other federal agencies have issued contracts to perform reconstruction activities in Iraq. The large number of contractors working amid continued violence has raised concerns over the use of contractors to support U.S. military and civilian operations overseas, including the cost of workers' compensation insurance provided to contractor employees in Iraq under the Defense Base Act (DBA). We have received requests from over 100 members of Congress asking us to review a number of Iraq-related issues, including issues associated with DBA insurance. Because of the level of interest in issues dealing with Iraq, the Comptroller General initiated this review under his statutory authority. The objectives of our review were to identify the cost to the U.S. government of insurance coverage purchased under DBA and to assess the act's implementation. DBA provides disability and medical benefits for contractors' and subcontractors' employees injured on the job and death benefits to survivors when those employees are killed.
We are limited at this time in what we can conclude about the cost of DBA insurance. Recent investigations by several states into a number of insurance companies and brokers during the course of our review raise questions over the reliability of information that we obtained from the insurance industry, a primary source of data in our review. Additionally, we found that it is difficult to aggregate reliable data on the cost of DBA insurance due in part to the large number of contractors and the multiple levels of subcontractors performing work in Iraq. Lacking reliable aggregate data, we were unable to calculate the total cost of DBA insurance to the government or the impact of DBA insurance costs on reconstruction activities in Iraq. This report explains DBA requirements; discusses DBA insurance rates, which are higher for DOD than for other agencies; identifies challenges and concerns that federal agencies face when implementing DBA; and suggests that Congress consider requiring that the Director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) determine, in coordination with DOD, the Departments of Labor and State, and the U.S. Agency for International Development, what actions should be taken to address issues that came to light during our review.
Matter for Congressional Consideration
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: Congress passed Section 1042 in the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2006, which was signed by the President on January 6, 2006, as Public Law No: 109-163. Section 1042 directs the Secretary of Defense, in coordination with the Director of the Office of Management and Budget and appropriate officials of the Departments of Labor and State and the U.S. Agency for International Development to review current and future needs, options and risks associated with DBA insurance, including identifying cost effective options for acquiring DBA insurance, developing methods for coordinating data collection efforts among agencies and contractors, and taking actions to address difficulties in the administration of DBA. When implemented, this coordination effort should help to address cost and implementation challenges agencies face in applying DBA in Iraq. DOD officials in June 2006 said that activity on the mandate was just getting underway.
Matter: To ensure that DBA cost and implementation issues are adequately addressed, Congress may wish to consider requiring the Director of OMB to determine, in coordination with DOD, the Departments of Labor and State, and the U.S. Agency for International Development, current and future needs, options, and risks associated with DBA insurance. The agencies involved in this coordinated effort should identify actions, including any necessary legislative changes, to address the following issues: (1) identifying cost-effective options for acquiring DBA insurance; (2) developing methods for coordinating data collection efforts among agencies and contractors on the cost of insurance and other relevant information to make informed decisions; (3) facilitating consistent, collective, and collaborative application of DBA across agencies by (a) developing and disseminating guidance on when and to whom DBA applies, and (b) improving communication within and among agencies about the implementation of DBA and associated difficulties through such means as an informal network, interagency working groups, conferences, forums, or Web sites; and (4) identifying actions to address difficulties with administering DBA, such as (a) identifying potential means to address enforcement challenges, (b) collecting data from contractor employees to facilitate claims processing, and (c) collecting and reporting to Labor information on contractors performing overseas and whether they have DBA insurance.

Hi all, I'm a new WordPress user, and this is my first post in these forums.
Before I ask my question, I just want to say how impressed I am by the software and the community support for it in plug-ins and themes. Thank you everyone for making this incredible tool.
I've installed WordPress on my site in the standard directory (ie. http://mysite.com/wordpress), and spent the past week developing and publishing content.
I want to make the WordPress post page (ie http://mysite.com/wordpress) the page everyone first sees when they visit my domain (ie http://mysite.com).
What's the best way to do this...?
I'd like to avoid reinstalling WordPress in the root directory, if that's possible, because I'm concerned I'll have to redo all my content.
Thanks in advance for your advice.

Hi there,
I'm currently building a gaming site that only revolves around Rockstar Games, therefore it's a fan site.
I'm currently looking for a way to either make a custom page template to make like a information page for each individual game quite similar to what like IGN and GameSpot have, I don't think there's a plugin for such thing, so I am looking into making my own template.
Any help would be appreciated.

The absence of Celtic players from the four-man short-list, which includes Hibs striker Leigh Griffiths, Motherwell forward Michael Higdon, Inverness midfielder Andrew Shinnie and Aberdeen frontman Niall McGinn, has not gone down well at Parkhead.
Hoops boss Neil Lennon described the outcome of the vote as "abysmal" while Celtic defender Charlie Mulgrew, who won it last year, called it baffling, even though seven Hoops players received nominations from their fellow professionals with midfielder Victor Wanyama up for the young player award.
Kilmarnock boss Kenny Shiels stoked the furore when asked about Lennon's complaints, saying: "Celtic make a song and dance about everything, don't they? Paranoid FC."
Stevenson, ahead of Saturday's Clydesdale Bank Premier League clash with St Mirren at Easter Road, where one point will keep the Buddies safe from relegation at the expense of Dundee, insists he keeps an open mind when casting his vote.
"I'm sure I did vote for a Celtic player," he said. "I think I voted Wanyama and Higdon - you get two choices - and I'm sure I voted Wanyama for young player.
"If a Hearts player was a stand-out I would have no problem voting for him.
"It would be hard for me to vote for a Hearts player but he is a professional player and you wouldn't vote against him because he is a Hearts player.
"It was hard to pick a Celtic player because there are a lot of them that good, it is hard to single any of them out.
"But you can see why Leigh has been voted. He has stood out head and shoulders above the rest of us, him and Ben Williams. I'm sure Ben has the chance of being in the team of the year."

Crystalline CuO and Cu2O nanowires with an average diameter of about 10 nm and lengths of several tens of microns were successfully synthesized, depending on synthesis conditions, using precursor Cu(OH)2 nanowires as templates. The crystallinity, purity, morphology, and structural features of the as-prepared nanowires were characterized by powder x-ray diffraction, selected-area electron diffraction, and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. The results showed that the precursor polycrystalline Cu(OH)2 nanowires served as both reactants for the growth of CuO and Cu2O nanowires, and as templates controlling the size and shape of the resulting nanowires.

Beginners' "Stereo", as the title's connotations might suggest, takes a few cues from the '80s. Big, watery snares are the most noticeable, with cheeky synths and schlocky strings adding to the effect. It's very much a modern song, though — the arpeggiation, distorted bassline, and vocal chops are straight out of radio pop-house. It's a laid-back tune as ready for blasting from a Camaro system as from Spotify, and that timelessness is a wonderful thing.

Paige Calico's "The Hard Way" is pristinely loopy Americana, a gorgeous arrangement warped just a touch by a layer of sand and dirt. Calico sings dreamily over lolling guitar and choral backdrop, a touch of chamber pop influencing the song's hazy make. Given that it's a song about the strength and enigmatic nature of love, its semi-lucid atmosphere fits it like a glove.
Chris Ingalls: Judging from the deadened delivery, GAIKA is seemingly numbed by what's happening to his city. The brutality and violence is palpable in the track, with music stabs and samples that seem to bring to life the unrest. Musically, it's diverse yet danceable (although the starts and stops create the requisite drama). Yet another reason why, when looking for new voices in hip-hop, you need to cross the pond. [7/10]
Chris Ingalls: Daveed Diggs has rightfully established himself as an eclectic powerhouse thanks to his Grammy- and Tony-winning performance in Hamilton, and returning to his experimental hip-hop outfit Clipping. is a reassuring sign that he's not content resting on his laurels. From their upcoming album Splendor and Misery, "Baby Don't Sleep" is full of restless sonic experiments like static, distortion and myriad sound effects, but it's Diggs' rapid-fire rhymes that tie the whole thing together. For anyone who thinks hip-hop is getting stale, listen to this refreshing revelation. [8/10]
Chris Ingalls: NAO's "R&B on helium" pipes serve this song well, creating an atmosphere of (perhaps) misleading innocence. Her voice mixes nicely with the unique dynamics of the music, which comes in sparsely during the verses and crashes in, anthemically, during the powerful choruses. The spacey keyboard solo before the final chorus is a fun, retro treat, as is the little funky keyboard/guitar coda. [8/10]

I see there's not a lot of support happening, so just thought I'd share this tip. To remove comments on the mobile version, look for the 'comments.php' file in the theme folder. Then remove the PHP code leaving the header and footer intact.
ie. remove these two lines:
if (__FILE__ == $_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME']) { die(); }
Disclaimer: I'm not a programmer, but it seems to work! Let me know if you have any further tips.

Island Information
Location and TerrainPrince Edward Island is in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, off the Atlantic Coast of the Canadian mainland. One of the four Atlantic Provinces, this crescent shaped Island is separated from the mainland by the Northumberland Strait. The Island is located at 46 degrees latitude, -63 degrees longitude.
Prince Edward Island is the smallest of the Canadian provinces. Its total land mass is 5,656 sq. km (2184 sq. mi). The Island is only 224 km (139 miles) long and between 6 km and 64 km (four and 40 miles) wide.
Its terrain can be characterized as gently rolling hills. White sandy beaches are predominant along the northern shores while red sandstone cliffs edge its southern exposure. Rich red soil makes the Island an ideal place for mixed farming. The redness of the soil is due to its high iron-oxide (rust) content.
Many rivers, bays and estuaries indent the 1107 km (688 miles) of the coastline. Many small islands lie off the shores of PEI. The Province has many lakes and rivers, most of which are quite small. Approximately 55 percent of the population lives in rural areas. (Source: Department of Fisheries, Aquaculture and Rural Development 2009 Rural Action Plan)
Prince Edward Island covers a land mass of 5,656 square kilometres (2,184 square miles). Its highest point of land is 152 metres (499 feet) above sea level at Springton in Queens County.
