Is there anyway to fix this?

A large number of federal programs are plagued with duplication, fragmentation and overlap, draining the government tens of billions of taxpayers' dollars every year, according to the Government Accountability Office.
A new 426-page report follows up on a similar document GAO released in 2011 and outlines 51 newly-identified areas of duplication, overlap and fragmentation across government and recommends 130 actions. The areas include IT, transportation, job training, homelessness prevention and disaster response efforts, among others.
"Whether carrying out similar missions or funding similar projects, everything the government is doing once it is likely doing twice or three times and often not very well," Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.) said in his Feb. 28 testimony before the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.

OMB outlines progress on eliminating government waste
Among the examples of duplicative efforts were 53 programs run by four separate agencies to help entrepreneurs with economic development, as well as nearly $80 billion funneled into more than 7,200 IT investments.
While the Office of Management and Budget provides direction on how agencies can report on their IT investments, the guidance doesn't ensure comprehensive reporting or aid the identification of duplicative investments.
GAO found that the departments of Homeland Security, Defense and Energy need to address potentially duplicative IT investments to avoid investing in unnecessary systems. Although all three agencies have processes to identify duplicative investments, GAO found that 37 of 810 investments were potentially duplicative at DOD and Energy.
These investments account for about $1.2 billion in IT spending for 2007 through 2012 for DOD and Energy. While the watchdog didn't find any potentially duplicative investments at DHS, officials there have independently pinpointed several duplicative investments and systems. The department plans to consolidate systems within these investments by 2014 to save $41 million.
Officials from the three agencies provided various explanations for the potential duplication, including decentralized governance within the department and a lack of control over certain facilities. Certain investments are also misclassified by function, which complicates agency's work in identifying duplicative investments.
Asked by the committee what causes the overall problem with duplication, Comptroller General and GAO head Gene Dodaro cited a lack of oversight and processes that would give insight into which programs work effectively. Coburn, on the other hand, singled out Congress as the main culprit, saying duplication was created by career politicians "seeking to slap short-term fixes on problems in order to claim credit at home and recognition in Washington."
Office of Management and Budget Controller Danny Werfel wrote on the OMBlog that almost 80 percent of the issues GAO raised in 2011 had been addressed, either fully or partially. But Congress, on the other hand, had tackled less than 40 percent of GAO's recommendations, he said.
"No matter how difficult it may be to cut this waste, the administration is committed to getting the job done," Werfel commented.

As experts warned of the "dire" threats posed by outdated federal technology, lawmakers grilled top feds, debated workforce issues and inched closer to backing a $3.1 billion fix-it fund.
The agency is making strides in developing and deploying border technologies but still has some weaknesses.
Every five years or so, another blue-ribbon commission issues pretty much the same report- just by cutting duplication, you could take a big chunk out of deficit. It'll never happen until we get 535 people in congress worried more about doing their job than getting reelected, and a POTUS that has the guts to stand up to congress and pentagon and say 'no more studies- Just Do It!'
Geez, all these $ billions wasted and they want to freeze my salary and change my retirements benefits to save the government money...
At present, there are two mutually incompatible concepts at work here - well, aside from the obvious "democrat" and "republican". "Competition" and "Consolidation" just don't play well together, and our contracting law is written to promote the former at the mostly unintended fettering of the latter. Creating "Open Standards", which is a "governmental" function, help create a viable solution space, but one that business inherently opposes. Follow the money.
This problem would be hard enough without the political aspect. With the political aspect, it is probably impossible. Still, it is all executive branch, and therefore the buck stops with the administration. An exhaustive review of programs/offices and there associated objectives and resources would reveal a lot. However, with a congress that is more concerned with bringing home bacon than governing the country efficientlyl and effectively, good luck.
Amazing that it takes a study to realize the overlapping. It's all about job security, budget justification and plain human nature. Good luck in changing the status quo.

Bosnia and Herzegovina was once part of the former nation of Yugoslavia until 1992. The now independent country has emerged to become one of Europe's most prized travel destinations since ending its tumultuous civil war in 1995. Tourists who visit this intriguing nation have the opportunity to explore medieval villages, grand palatial estates, and vibrant cities. Bosnia and Herzegovina hotel deals offer a more budget-friendly way to travel.
The capital city of Sarajevo has managed to rebuild itself after being nearly obliterated during the civil war. Some of the salvaged buildings and monuments within the city date back to the Middle Ages and the days of the Ottoman Empire. The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, which prompted the official beginning of World War I in 1914, occurred on Sarajevo's famous Latin Bridge. An eternal flame lit within the city commemorates the end of World War II. The Avaz Twist Tower is one of the most unique local landmarks. Some of the venues used when Sarajevo hosted the 1984 Winter Olympics are still in existence and serve as special reminders of the glorious event. A detailed tour guide book can provide further information on the city's best sites. Sarajevo is also a great place to find discount Bosnia and Herzegovina hotels.
Banja Luka is one of the country's most picturesque cities. The enchanting Vrbas River flows past Kastel Fortress and other important historical structures. The promenade along Godspodska Street is one of the best locations in the city to find bargain prices on collectibles. Many people come to the Cathedral of Christ the Saviour to attend religious services and to admire the structure's pristine design. Banja Luka also boasts some of the finest Bosnia and Herzegovina hotel packages.
Visitors who have the desire to explore the nation's vast outdoor spaces can discover numerous hiking trails situated in some of the most impressive wilderness areas. Most of these outdoor retreats can be explored at any given time, although some may require visitors to make reservations for a permit in advance. Mount Prenji is part of the Dinaric Alps and is often considered to be one of the top hiking and climbing spots in the country. The area around Balkana Lake is another popular place to explore. It is even feasible to discover a cheap Bosnia and Herzegovina hotel deal near some of these areas.
Cheap hotel deals in Bosnia and Herzegovina featured on Expedia offer terrific rates on hotel rooms all throughout the country. Many of the premier hotels in Bosnia and Herzegovina are central to the nation's most exciting sites and attractions.

On this hilarious board! Less than $80 worth of shares traded. You probably get off on watching paint dry.
ah the Phillies.
shouldnt they also be the Yanks rivals as we eliminated them last year.
Second choice Nationals but they were the Expose
You guys disapoint me!!! But, CY, you were closer...you just have to drive 300 miles due east on the old PA turnpike to the city of brotherly love! :) What other fan could hate the Mets that much?
I would like to guess the Pirates,they used to great teams 70s and 80s
im guessing their from the Sunshine State.
Muck the Fets! Thefly, you should be starting to figure out what team I route for...the worst team in the history of the game...well, atleast three years ago, anyway! :)
even though im from queens and about 5 min from Citifield i must disagree with the 3 yrs for the Mets comment.
more like 24 yrs (LOL), hell might as well even count 86 when the did win, which was on a fluke.
Wow, I don't know what I would have done tonight without this entertainment. Two posts, one minute apart that provide absolutely no value to anyone that breathes and has an IQ over 100. You've out done yourself, Ski...
Bashing a .0002 stock is like ball bustin' a Clippers fan about how pathetic their team has been for the last 20 years! (or a Mets fan, the last three) Of course, without your clever little posse jokes, you'd probably be no match for a yahoo board that features a stock with a share price around .0010, so you better stick around.
But, your act...yawn...yeah, it really is that tired...
Now almost $700 worth of stock traded. Is that posse sore?
It is amusing how you were laying low the days where we traded 100 million plus last week. Just calling a spade a spade...you remind me of a Mets fan. When it's going good, you are there to tell the world about it, but when you're in the cellar...nobody hears a peep.

I received a call from a Mark Davis with the company who told me about the position and the benefits. He further asked which shift I wanted and said that he would set up an appointment with Debbie with Quest Diagnostics located on 499 E Hampden Avenue, Suite #130 for Wednesday, August 1, 2012 but I was responsible for the $89.00 fee to run the background check. Mark Davis told me that the background check would take 3 days to come in and I would be provided with a copy of it. Mr. Davis requested that I go to Wal-Mart and to send the money via Money Gram so that I could get in to the training class starting August 7, 2012.
Mr. Davis changed his mind and requested that I purchase a Money Pack to make a same day payment because it would be faster. After I gave Mr. Davis the money numbers: 3149-0728-4319-51 he allegedly made preparations for the background check. As of todays date I have heard nothing from Mr. Davis even though I have left 2 voice mails for him to give me a return call. It would be appreciated if you could give me any suggestions on what I can do to remedy this situation or as to how I can be of assistance to make sure that this type of scam doesnt happen to anyone else I would gratefully appreciate your input. I am concerned because I gave Mark Davis my date of birth, my address, and full name which could mean I could be a potential victim of not only a scam but identity theft.

Definition of dumdum in English:
(also dumdum bullet)
A kind of soft-nosed bullet that expands on impact and inflicts laceration.
Example sentences
- The bullet often breaks into tiny pieces after penetration, ripping up muscle and nerve and causing multiple internal injuries, much like the internationally banned dumdum bullet.
- They used bullets that are called dumdum bullets, and when they hit, whatever they hit, there are fragments everywhere, and they shot at the cameramen.
- Bullets cause injury by transferring their energy into the body tissues; the design of the bullet influences this process, with hollow nosed or dumdum bullets being designed to maximise energy transfer.
Late 19th century: from Dum Dum, name of a town and arsenal in eastern India where such bullets were first produced.

Middle Eastern martime traditions explored in Exeter University's dhow exhibitionBreaking News
tags: Middle East, Archaeology News Network, Ships, Exeter University, dhows
The maritime traditions of people living and travelling on the major sea routes of the western Indian Ocean are being explored in a first-of-its-kind exhibition at Exeter University, which will even feature a traditiontally constructed dhow, which has been made specially for the exhibition by artist Paul Riley in a workshop on the River Dart.
In the past wooden boats particular to the Red Sea, Arabian-Persian Gulf and western Indian Ocean played a significant role along its busy waterways. The boats are known in English as dhows, though it is not a term used by the people of the region. Dhows carried people as passengers, slaves and pilgrims, as well as transporting cargoes, from timber and goats to pepper and incense. They were used in fishing the ocean's rich waters and in diving for its legendary pearls.
These distinctive and graceful boats are the focus of the exhibition and an academic conference which takes place at the same time. This is the first time that an exhibition dedicated to the history and significance of the dhow has been held in this country. It brings together a wealth of material culture and images relating to shows and the dhow trade, including full size vessels, as well as a range of hitherto unseen dhow models, photographs and artefacts related to dhow construction and life aboard....

Transfer Credits and College Credits for Experience
Propelling your education forward
Feeling like you're going backward can be frustrating, especially when it comes to your education. Whether you've already taken college classes, or you've been working in a job that's given you hands-on training that parallels college coursework, you should be able to use your eligible prior learning to your advantage. That's why Minnesota School of Business & Globe University offer credit for eligible prior learning in a variety of ways.
- Work experience — Professional, on-the-job experience may apply either to a specific course if it meets that criteria or as elective credits. It may be occupational or managerial, and you could have attained it in any place from the office to the military. You just need the right documentation — which may include letters from your supervisor, performance reports, job assignment descriptions or other alternatives.
- Transfer credit* or prior learning credit — This may encompass undergraduate courses or learning that you've successfully completed for credit at another institution that covers equivalent content to one of our courses. We review any and all documentation of potential sources — licensing, CLEP tests, DANTES tests, AP tests, military — to see what qualifies based on the American Council on Education's standards. This also includes advanced standing (PR) or advanced placement courses completed at the high school level.
- Military service — A military transcript can be brought in to see if it matches undergraduate courses and figure out if they are eligible, based on the American Council on Education recommendations. You can request transcripts from the Sailor/Marine American Council on Education Registry Transcript (SMART), the Army American Council on Education Registry Transcript Service (AARTS), the Community College of the Air Force (CCAF), and the U.S. Coast Guard Institute (CGI).
Don't worry if you're overwhelmed or confused about (a) what training, coursework or licensures may qualify; and/or (b) what you need to bring in to get the credits you've earned. Our academic department will be happy to talk you through everything and figure all of that out.
Articulation agreements
In addition to staff members who review documentation to assess qualifying credits for prior learning, Minnesota School of Business & Globe University also have direct articulation agreements with:
- Concordia University, St. Paul
- Brown College — Minneapolis, Minnesota
- Waldorf College — Forest City, Iowa
- ITT Technical Institute — Eden Prairie, Minnesota
- Kaplan
- Colorado Technical University
- Capella University, Minneapolis, Minnesota
- St. Mary's University of Minnesota
Articulation agreements indicate that a student can take credits earned at GU/MSB and be eligible for credits at one of the institutions listed above. Please contact an academic services staff member for program specific information.
Ready to get started?
We want to do everything we can to not only set you up for success in your career, but to make sure your educational experience is useful and efficient. Contact an admissions representative today or call 1-877-655-7676 to learn more about how the work you've already done could put you that much closer to earning your degree.
*Credit transfer is always at the discretion of the receiving institution. For more information about transfer credit eligibility, please visit: www.msbcollege.edu.

I did not find the catering and event industry. It found me. After 17 years in the catering business, I have learned that events should be more than the bread, the wine , and the circus. They should invoke emotion, create memories, and inspire. They should be created with the same passion and dedication an artist devotes to their masterpiece. I enjoy great food, a good drink, and talented entertainment; but creating an experience that brings great pleasure to others is what I love. Bay Area Wedding Catering at its best.
As a chef in the Bay Area, I am fortunate enough to have access to some of the highest quality produce in the world. Cooking has been the centerpiece of my life since I was little – whether my mom had me in the kitchen making chicken and dumplings or outside on the grill with my pops making some drunken chicken. Nothing compares to the everyday grind of being in the catering world – working alongside some of the best and most passionate chefs I've ever had the pleasure of being around. From our hearts to your palette: bon appétit. Bay area wedding catering

Community and forum dedicated to the books and films of the J.R.R. Tolkien series
Naw, I think he had to settle for just a pointy beard. :elfwink:Hey about Tuor....if he was counted amongst the elves did he grow pointy ears or what??
Túor weds Idril the daughter of Turgon King of Gondolin; and 'it is supposed' (not stated) that he as an unique exception receives the Elvish limited 'immortality': an exception either way
"...it must be assumed that no alteration of their fundamental kind could be effected by the Valar even in one case: the cases of Lúthien (and Túor) and the position of their descendants was a direct act of God."
Hey about Tuor....if he was counted amongst the elves did he grow pointy ears or what??
LAS(1)- *lasse leaf: Q lasse, N lhass; Q lasselanta leaf-fall, autumn, N lhasbelin (*lassekwelene), cf. Q Narqelion [KWEL]. Lhasgalen Greenleaf, Gnome name of Laurelin. (Some think this is related to the next and * lasse 'ear' . The Quendian ears were more pointed and leaf. shaped than [?human].)
I picture a fairly human figure, not a kind of 'fairy' rabbit as some of my British reviewers seem to fancy: fattish in the stomach, shortish in the leg. A round, jovial face; ears only slightly pointed and 'elvish'; hair short and curling (brown).
Well I put Tom Bombadil for that one at the quiz because I didn't have a clue, but I don't suppose you can count him as a "man".
Of course Elros is a man! He accepted the Gift of Men.....that makes you a MAN!!! And Elros was a great and long lived man!
In this account, only Elros was granted a peculiar longevity, and it is said here that he and his brother Elrond were not differently endowed in the physical potential of life, but that since Elros elected to remain among the kindred of Men he retained the chief characteristic of Men as opposed to the Quendi: the "seeking else-whither," as the Eldar called it, the "weariness" or desire to depart from the world. It is further expounded that the increase in the Númenórean span was brought about by assimilation of their mode of life to that of the Eldar: though they were expressly warned that they had not become Eldar, but remained mortal Men, and had been granted only an extension of the period of their vigour of mind and body
In Valedhelgwath's Historical Quiz IV, he asked, "41) Which Man was said to have had the longest lifespan?" Along with my answers I sent him the following:
: I have always assumed Elros was the most long lived, but finally found the text in UT Part Two, Section III, Paragraph I.
On a similar note, how old was the Witch-king of Angmar when he was no longer considered a man or was he never of Mankind? Did his ring also extend his mortal life? He invaded Arnor in 1409 TA and was defeated at Farnost in 1975 TA, which makes him older than 566 years. And then of course he wasn't de-crowned until 3018 TA, but of course by then he was a wraith. Has anyone ever considered this or am I ploughing virgin ground here? Should I post this question in the Forum, before or after your quiz deadline, or am I showing my ignorance again?
To which Valedhelgwath replied:
: That's a very good point, Grondy. I went with what I read in that section you mentioned in UT, but you have a valid point with the witchking. The Nazgul were said to have first appeared in SA2251 (and by Nazgul, I am assuming wraith rather than a man with a ring). As Sauron took the 9 rings in SA1697 it is possible the witchking was quite old before he became a wraith (potentially 500 years plus whatever he was when he was given the ring.)
What is likely, however, is that the Mouth of Sauron has lived longer as a man (as opposed to wraith) than either the witchking or Elros. If anyone gives me this latter as an answer I won't mark them wrong for it. As for the forum, I don't really mind if you raise this question now. It's only one question and could raise an interesting debate
To which I replied:
: Okay. So the Witch-king could have been 554 plus years old and I just chose the wrong M-e age, but had the right idea. And you are probably right about the Mouth of Sauron being older, but if even he can't remember who he is, how will we ever know?
Today I finally got around to posting the above. Does anyone else have any ideas or comments they would like to add to this discussion?

I just got a phone call thanking me for participating in the conference call from E-Food Safety. Also asked for my E-Mail adress if I would like to give it. PRETTY IMPRESSIVE!! I am also a customer of Cinnergen,Cinnechol, and the Immune Boost bars Mike
Their first product is tattoo ink afaik. You need a name that incorporates these very different product lines. I don't know if I'd want a face cream from the people who make tattoo ink? How about a company that kills nematodes? lol The more general the name the better. I don't think it matters what products they may sell now, it has more to do with the direction of the company and future products. I hope they get that since the name is a big deal and could make or break new investors.
Martin said the ink / his company will be a subsidiary, just like the other subsidiaries efsf has. That alone is why they need to change the name. The name should either reflect the focus and direction of the company or the products they offer now and will in the future.If you ask me I'd keep it as general as possible to be sure every product they have is covered. Right now you have cholesterol, nematodes and tattoo ink. That could be biotech but it isn't nutraceuticals or health care products. I'd go with a biotech or a holding company name, which efsf says they are. I think I'd go with a holding company name with brand names under it, just like Sears Holding. There are plenty out there, I'm just not that smart. lol
I got one too, what a change!
Interesting, saw the # pop up on my cell and did not answer while working. Did a reverse look up, it is a company called Incomm Conferencing. I will assume they are the company that probably hosted there conference call and then they do investor relations relating to that. Glad to see they are using a company that will keep them in touch with us all. Will hve to answer next time they call.

I want sex, but he can't seem to help me orgasm. Why won't it work anymore (it used to)?
Comments (8)
How long has it been since you had a baby? Did you have any physical problems from birth? Or, maybe your hormones are out of whack.
A different position might also help.
J: Nov 2002; E: Dec 2004; Z: April 2007
I have a 3 1/2 month old. It was a fairly easy birth.
It took me a while to get my drive back to where it used to be. And even now (DD is 16 mos old) is still not quite the same.
Can you orgasm on your own? If not, perhaps, like PP said, it's hormone related. Maybe you could speak to your OB/ GYN about it. I've heard of estrogen or testerone treatments helping women before.
Good luck. HTH.
......a ray of sarcastic sunshine every single day.
I know we're all married, but like Jenn said maybe u can orgasm on your own first. I mean there's nothing wrong with it. Trying on your own and then having your dh touch u the same way may help.
Trying new positions would be fun too. Make it a date night with hubby. Have the candles, some wine, a naughty movie and your favorite sex music.
Hey it will come back to ya!!
Good luck!!
I don't belive in "helping" yourself. I used to orgasm but it just doesn't work anymore. My husband would have to use oral, but is almost always worked. I have plenty of drive just no body reaction. hmm...
I'd see your doc. Your hormones are still probably all over the place plus even though sex is how babies are created, sometimes it seems very naughty or impure when you have a newborn. Especially when BF, the body tries to protect itself by getting pg too soon, it took me about a good year to get back to "normal".
Try reading some naughty novels and do some fantasizing, whatever "gets you in the mood". Try not to get distracted when you're DTD and focus on the sexiness and pleasure of it. Concentrate as hard as you can on building up to your O while DTD. IMO vibrators help alot during an O issue and having your partner be in charge of it makes it more of a "couples activity" and more intimate.
"You gotta stop wearing your wishbone where your backbone oughtta be"
"Rudeness is the weak person's imitation of strength"
Thanks for the input. I think I just have to wait it out.
I guess what I was getting at was, is the issue emotional/ psychological/ mental or is it physical? When I asked if you could orgasm on your own, if the answer was no, then maybe it's physical, like hormones. If you could orgasm on your own, but no longer with DH, maybe there's some subconscious issue at play.
......a ray of sarcastic sunshine every single day.

"MAGNIFICENT MALAGA" Top 5 Page for this destination Málaga by LoriPori
Málaga Travel Guide: 943 reviews and 2,501 photos
January 29, 2006
When Carmen and Stace suggested we see Malaga for the day, we said we had already been there. We had taken the train two years ago and spent the afternoon in Malaga. Well, Carmen checked out our pages and declared that we had not "REALLY" seen Malaga. And she was absolutely right.
MALAGA is the major coastal city inAndalucia. The Moors occupied Malaga until the mid 15th century. It grew to become one of the foremost merchant centers in the entire Iberian Peninsula.
An absolute must see is the Alcazaba , a fortress dating back to 1065. Also worth visiting is the nearby castle Gibralfaro which was rebuilt by the Moors. It offers superb views from the Parador de Gibralfaro. You can see the Plaza de Toros, Malaga Harbour and the Cathedral very clearly from up there.
Pablo Picasso is Malaga's famous son and there are several galleries displaying his work, including the 16th century Museum of Fine Arts, adjacent to the Cathedral. Unfortunately we did not get the chance to see the Picasso Museum. As it was Sunday, and admission was free, there was a huge line-up to get in.
Remember, Malaga is always closed for the Siesta period, as is the custom through most of Spain.
Update - January 27, 2008
Today is my 60th birthday and I had the best day. Hans and I took the train to Malaga and was met by Carmen (Carmela71 ) Stace (Beach_dog) Sandra (Salsagirl) and Isa (Belsaita ) at the train station. Our first stop was to the Castillo de Gibralfaro, then it was on to the Alcazaba de Malaga and then out for dinner at La Casona. Had a wonderful traditional Spanish meal. After that we visited the Picasso Museum which is free on Sundays. All in all a wonderful day. Thanks to you my friends, especially the lovely basket of flowers.
Update - February 23, 2011
Hans and I, along with Bajondillo friends Gino and Fina, took the train to Malaga to spend the day there. We first strolled around the main shopping area, then went to the Tourist Information Center. We visited Catedral de Malaga and the Museo de Malaga. Our last stop was to the amazing Market, with all its fresh fish and fruits & vegetables. We bought some olives, fresh bread rolls and sliced ham, to make sandwiches. We had a picnic at the Marina. All in all a great and fun day.
Update - February 17, 2014
Hans and I took the train to Malaga as we were to meet up with our dear friend Jane and spend the afternoon with her. She met us at the exit of Malaga Centro Alameda. From there we headed for the Malaga Market where I bought some fresh rolls and slices of Ham. We went to the Botanical Gardens where we had a picnic and then strolled through this lovely park. We spent some time there and then Jane led us back to the train station. Thanks j for a lovely afternoon.
There are different theories as to the origins of CASTILLO DE GIBRALFARO and it could date back to the Phoenician -Carthaginian period, but the 'coracha' ( a walled passage which links the castle with the Alcazaba as a form of protection ) was built during the reign of Yusef I in the 14th century. The castle used to contain a mosque, but visitors today can still see several wells, bread ovens and the old powder factory, which is now an information centre.
From the Parador de Gibralfaro, you will have beautiful views over the ruins, the city and the sea.
- Pros:Lots to see and do - great restaurants & Tapas Bars
- In a nutshell:Amazing cultural center - Picasso Museum - Museum de Malaga

AEG Lawyer Revises Testimony Related to Michael Jackson 'This Is It' Tour Contract
By Associated Press, Los Angeles
A corporate lawyer for concert giant AEG Live LLC on Tuesday revised his testimony and said the tour director of Michael Jackson's ill-fated "This Is It" concerts had a signed contract.
AEG Live General Counsel Shawn Trell told jurors that he had forgotten that Kenny Ortega was working under a signed contract.
He told the panel on Monday that Ortega was working under an agreement reached through a series of emails, not a formalized contract.
Ortega's contract was not shown to jurors. The choreographer and director might testify later in the civil trial.
Trell testified as a witness for AEG Live and is considered the most knowledgeable person on numerous issues, including contracts and Jackson's health. He said he was reminded of Ortega's contract by AEG trial lawyers on Monday night.
Jackson's mother has sued AEG, claiming it was negligent in hiring Conrad Murray, the doctor who was later convicted of involuntary manslaughter in the death of Jackson.
Katherine Jackson claims AEG failed to properly investigate Murray before hiring him to serve as her son's tour physician, and that the company missed or ignored red flags about the singer's health before his death.
AEG denies it hired Murray, or bears any responsibility for the singer's death.
Attorney Brian Panish, who represents Katherine Jackson, on Monday compared Ortega's emails to messages between the promoter and the singer's personal physician laying out how he would be compensated.
Trell has said the situations of Ortega and Conrad Murray were not similar, and the emails to Murray did not demonstrate an employment relationship — a key element of the case.
Trell was the second AEG executive to testify in the trial, which is entering its fourth week. AEG attorneys have yet to question him.
He also testified that the company obtained an insurance policy that covered the possible cancellation of some of the "This Is It" shows after a physician evaluated the singer.
Trell testified that five days before Jackson's death, top AEG executives were informed the singer was in poor health. By that point, Ortega had sent executives an email titled "Trouble at the front" detailing Jackson's problems.
"There are strong signs of paranoia, anxiety, and obsessive-like behavior," Ortega wrote to AEG Live CEO Randy Phillips. Jackson's symptoms were reminiscent of behavior that led to the cancellation of an HBO concert earlier in the decade, Ortega wrote.

Discussion in 'Former Pro Player Talk' started by 90's Clay, Aug 22, 2012.
NatF is pretty cool about stuff.
Does this clay-courter make anyone's top 10?
FYI, the ATP didn't exist for the first 5 years of the open era, and then, only as a players union and a computer ranking system, not a circuit. The two main pro circuits were the Grand Prix and the WCT. The international circuit was administered by the ILTF. The ATP Tour started in 1990. Connors and others won many important non-ATP events in their careers, many of which the current ATP doesn't keep track of. For example, I've read sources that have Lendl, Rosewall and Gonzalez winning more than 130 titles, each. In addition to all of that, the ATP website is notoriously unreliable and incomplete, especially data that predates its existence.
Well, I have had the privilege of seeing him play, live, several times in his prime. In my view, he is about as talented as anyone. His return game, second only to Agassi's in my opinion, is testament to that.
Brett69, In open era Connors won about 150 titles. ATP did not count many of them.
NatF, I'm glad I finally can agree. But you and I and all others should try to avoid the word "silly". I concede it's sometimes difficult to do so...
Limpin, I agree.

Table games revenue drops at Erie casino
Table games revenue at Presque Isle Downs & Casino dropped by 12 percent in March compared with the same month in 2013.
The play on 46 table games at the Summit Township casino produced more than $1.1 million in gross revenue, down from $1.3 million in March 2013.
Pennsylvania's 12 casinos, though, saw an overall revenue increase of 1 percent. And the $67.9 million in revenue was the highest since table games were introduced in July 2010, the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board reported.
The dollar figure eclipsed the previous high of $67.4 million, set in March 2013, the board said.
Statewide, the 1,101 table games generated $9.8 million in tax revenue.
The percentage revenue increase was more modest when comparing just the 11 casinos that were open in March 2013. That gain was 0.08 percent.
Richard McGarvey, a spokesman for the gaming board, has said table games revenue can fluctuate, depending on how well gamblers do at blackjack, roulette, craps and other games.
Jeff Favre, Presque Isle Downs' general manager, said the casino had more winners, or paid out more in winnings in March, compared with one year ago.
"And overall, I'm not really all that disappointed with the final results. We believe we're getting things moving in the right direction here. I'm starting to feel more comfortable with what we've done and what needs to be done to move the property in the right direction," he said.
Favre said he hasn't put many changes into place yet since taking over Feb. 2 but plans to start doing so soon.
The casino proposes to add a variety of new table games to replace some existing ones, pending gaming board approval, he said. It also plans to add progressive jackpots to some new and existing table games, if the board approves, he said.
With a progressive game, gamblers can place a side bet for a chance to win a larger payout. The jackpots grow larger if no one wins over a longer period of time, but they are smaller if someone has hit a recent jackpot.
Presque Isle Downs' table games and slot-machine revenue has slumped over the past two years because of competition from Ohio casinos, though this year's severe weather also contributed to declines, according to casino officials.
One of the competitors is Horseshoe Casino Cleveland, which opened in May 2012. That downtown Cleveland casino's table games revenue in March was $9.5 million from the play on 119 games, according to the Ohio Casino Control Commission.
In March, the local share of revenue from table games at Presque Isle Downs was $22,971, raising the total to $1,316,062 since the casino started offering the games in July 2010. The money is being used for local economic-development projects.

A week and a half ago cash-poor A123 Systems, recipient of $279 million-plus in federal money and millions more from the State of Michigan, announced it would access $39 million via a stock sale to institutional investors and the release of other cash after meeting requirements related to its existing reserves.
It has been downhill ever since – all the way down to its all-time low of 75 cents per share price Tuesday (and 69 cents Thursday morning). It may be too much for even these masters of the press release cycle to overcome by creating good news out of thin air.
This story has been updated at the end.
Seems like every time stimulus recipient battery-maker A123 Systems suffers bad news or a stock price hit, its leaders miraculously produce great news via press release that temporarily bumps shares higher.
The latest example came yesterday, when A123 announced a "technological breakthrough" called Nanophosphate EXT that officials claim would reduce or eliminate the need for cooling systems for overheating batteries, and lower the cost of electric vehicle batteries by $600. This followed news that A123 plans to hire 400 employees (125 were laid off in November) in the coming months, thanks to new contracts it has won. Apparently Wall Street was unjustifiably non-skeptical, as heavily subsidized A123 saw its stock price shoot up from $1.04 to $1.58 yesterday. A123 was given $249.1 million in stimulus funds to help launch two battery-manufacturing plants in Michigan, and also received grants and tax credits from the state that could total more than $135 million.
As taxpayer-backed electric car battery-maker A123 Systems reported a $125 million 1st quarter loss this week and its stock price dipped to near its 52-week low, the executives that were just awarded big raises and parachutes look like they want to cash in and sell the company.
Officials with the Massachusetts-based manufacturer, which received a $249.1 million grant from the Department of Energy but this week said the ability for the company to continue is a "going concern," also announced they retained an outside adviser for "evaluation of strategic alternatives." Translation: they're looking to sell. If they are successful, A123 President David Vieau and his colleagues stand to reap a windfall even after they laid off 125 factory workers ("Green jobs") in November.
Fisker Automotive has implied that the Texas owner of one of its Karma models committed "fraud" or "malicious intent" in blaming the luxury electric vehicle for his garage fire last week, after he had to rescue his wife, mother and child from flames that spread quickly to his house.
The company's claim could be a fatal public relations move, as the chief investigator in Fort Bend County Fire Marshal's Office, Robert Baker, has also blamed the fire on the Karma. Fisker, recipient of $193 million (out of a $529 million total guarantee) loan backed by taxpayers via the Department of Energy, has suffered a series of publicity blunders including two recalls, a Karma breakdown at Consumer Reports' test facility, a SEC investigation of its primary venture capital raisers, layoffs, and a cutoff of its loan by DOE.
Why are taxpayers forced to underwrite a loan for the producer of a $107,000 toy vehicle for the wealthy, the majority of which is assembled at a European auto plant?
Two weeks ago Republican Sens. Charles Grassley of Iowa and John Thune of South Dakota asked Energy Secretary Steven Chu those and some other pointed questions about his department's decisions, in granting a $529 million taxpayer loan guarantee to Fisker Automotive, a luxury electric car manufacturer.
The Obama Administration has over-stimulated the electric vehicle battery market, as companies inspired by the flow of federal stimulus support don't have enough customers for their products.
The government promise of a coming electric car (and truck) revolution, thanks to moves such as President George W. Bush's signature to approve a $7,500-per-electric-vehicle tax credit and Congress's passage of the Recovery Act, instigated a buildup of capacity and inventory for batteries. Now putrid EV sales – including the newly introduced Ford Focus electric – have put their battery makers in peril, according to the Detroit Free Press.
Despite a new report out of the United Kingdom that says the future of the business is bleak without government subsidies, a three-year-old unprofitable electric truck company that received $32 million in U.S. taxpayer stimulus plans to raise more money via an initial public offering.
NLPC Associate Fellow Paul Chesser was a guest Monday on The Willis Report on the Fox Business Network. Here's a transcript:
First Solar, the beneficiary of at least $3 billion in Department of Energy loan guarantees, paid its former CEO $32 million over two years as he stewarded its stock price from $143 to below $100. Today it sells for less than $21-per-share, hitting a 52-week low last week, and yesterday the company announced it would slash global payroll by 2,000 workers in Malaysia, Europe and the U.S.
Just as the Department of Energy gave A123 Systems a vote of confidence by extending a deadline until 2014 to spend down its $249 million stimulus grant, the deeply troubled electric vehicle supplier experienced another setback.
One of their batteries caused an explosion.

The Vandals contained Roxana's 6-foot-8 center and made runs every time the Shells crept toward taking a lead during a 63-51 home win on Tuesday.
Sophomore Hunter Reine came into the game averaging 20 points and 15 rebounds, and while he scored 23 points for Roxana on Tuesday, he wasn't a big factor on defense, grabbing just nine rebounds.
"Holding him down on the boards might have been more important than holding him down on points," said Vandalia coach Kevin Jackson.
ST. ELMO – Under the direction of first-year coach Matt Belusko, the Ramsey Junior High eighth-grade boys basketball team advanced to the Class 2A State Tournament by defeating Okaw Valley, 39-35, in overtime Thursday night.
"Ramsey doesn't necessarily have the rich tradition in winning," Belusko said. "I told them, 'Just because we have a certain name on the front of our uniform doesn't mean anything. There's nothing that says we can't come out and do great things.'"
Five of eight Vandalia wrestlers qualified for the individual state tournament in front of a home crowd on Saturday at the Illinois High School Association Individual Sectional Tournament.
Senior Justin Hill (125) and junior Levi Ulmer (171) each won sectional championships, and senior John Vosholler (140), junior Daniel Edwards (152) and freshman C.J. Runkel (135) each placed third in his weight classes to advance.
Check back throughout the morning and afternoon to get results from the wrestling sectional tournament being held at Vandalia Community High School today. Action is slated to begin at 10 a.m. with the finals starting around 2 p.m.
You can also get highlights through the Leader-Union Sports Facebook page by clicking here.
10:20 a.m. Freshman Tyler Dagen won his opening match in the consolation bracket by fall at 1:21.
ST. ELMO -- Under the direction of first-year coach Matt Belusko, the Ramsey Junior High eighth-grade boys basketball team advanced to the Class 2A State Tournament by defeating Okaw Valley, 39-35, in overtime Thursday night.
The Rams (15-7) will meet Normal Metcalf Junior High (17-8) on Saturday at Mt. Pulaski Grade School (see map below) at 1 p.m. The state championship game is next Thursday.
Ramsey eighth-graders win regional
The Ramsey Junior High eighth-grade boys basketball team defeated Altamont, 35-27, on Tuesday to win a regional championship.
On Monday, the top-seeded Rams defeated Beecher City, 39-16. Ramsey had a first-round bye.
The Rams will face either Findlay Okaw Valley or Oblong at St. Elmo on Thursday at 6 p.m. in a sectional battle.
The Vandalia eighth-graders also had a first-round bye, but the Vandals lost to Pana, 29-27, on Monday.
The Brownstown High School girls basketball team lost in its first-round regional tournament game to Dieterich, 58-53, on Monday to end its season with a 12-12 record.
A .500 record is a disappointing finish for a team that before the season had aspirations of, at the very least, playing in a regional championship game.
That would have been challenging, considering the state-ranked Cowden-Herrick/Beecher City co-op would have been the next opponent for the Lady Bombers had they defeated the Movin' Maroons.
The South Central High School girls basketball was unable to play all its regular-season games due to cancellations, but a shortened season did not stop the Lady Cougars from winning their first-round regional tournament game at Red Hill on Monday.
Facing Midland Trail Conference rival Clay City, South Central got 12 points from senior Ashley Pollard in a 37-30 win, despite not having practiced in eight days.
The Lady Cougars advanced to play MTC regular-season champion North Clay on Wednesday at 8 p.m.
Brownstown celebrates seniors with big win against Ramsey
Brownstown honored its seniors before Monday's game against Ramsey and followed up the celebration with its best offensive output of the season in a dominating 82-53 win against Ramsey.
Senior Bryce Mason had a season-high 28 points, and fellow senior Zach Rigdon added 15.
Despite the lopsided outcome, the Bombers and Rams were tied at 16 after the first period.

ThirtyTwo just wrapped an epic trip to New Zealand. Ten days of skating, eating, drinking and playing soccer. Oh yeah and we snowboarded a little bit. We started in Auckland and then flew down to Wanaka and rode Snowpark and Cardrona but while we were there a 50-year storm dumped on both islands and essentially shut the whole country down. At first it didn't seem like a big deal when we strolled the streets of Queenstown in 8 inches of snow, as we have all been in that type of weather before, but when we started to understand just how rare an occasion it really was for snow to blanket the low elevation so thoroughly we decided to improvise. Surprisingly the resorts shut down because of too much snow but we ended up sessioning the local skatepark with some Queenstown locals while the city tried to sort itself out. We also snuck in skate sessions at lots of the local parks on both islands and got a good after hour session in at the indoor resort Snowplanet. Our NZ connect Ryan hooked us up real good and was super patient with our Stienlager fueled crew of indecisiveness. As well the New Zealand locals are always extremely hospitable and were quick to oblige us with all request and helped us to deplete the countryside of lamb shanks and sadats. Maximum Respect.Read More

Instead of providing increasingly expensive one-size-fits-all retirement health benefits that often miss the mark of individual retirees' needs, many companies are attempting to control costs by setting aside an annual allotment of money in health retirement accounts, or HRAs, for individuals and their spouses to put toward purchasing their own supplemental healthcare plans. Those coverage plans include supplemental insurance to cover healthcare services, drugs, or expenses not covered by the government's "original" Medicare program, for which individuals generally become eligible at age 65.
However, with thousands of Medicare supplemental coverage options offered by dozens of private insurers, the selection process can be exhaustingly confusing to seniors. That's where online insurance marketplaces are helping.
Among online insurance marketplaces is Extend Health, the country's largest Medicare supplemental insurance exchange, which is assisting dozens of big employers including Volkswagen Group of America, Ford, GM, Chrysler, Caterpillar, Avon, Lawrence Livermore Labs, Eastman Chemical, FedEx, as well as some unions and municipalities, to simplify the selection process for retirees in choosing their supplemental healthcare coverage.
Extend Health's exchange is powered by web-based decision support tools that allow individuals to compare their coverage choices, while helping employers streamline work and control costs involved with providing retirement benefits.
Extend Health offers about 3,500 plans from 55 insurance carriers. The thousands of different Medicare supplemental options offered by the dozens of private insurers, include drug plans, as well as so called Medigap policies to fill coverage "gaps" and Medicare Advantage plans, which also provide extra coverage and can involve preferred-provider organizations and health maintenance organizations.
Because the health needs of individuals can vary greatly, even from year to year, Extend Health's decision support software helps the retirees during open enrollment season to narrow down the selection of plans based on considerations such as the specific prescription drugs a patient takes, whether an individual has a chronic illness, the types of medical specialists the person needs to see, and whether an individual can afford to bear higher or lower co-pays.
Extend Health's tools help individuals evaluate and compare plans costs and benefits. For employers -- who are Extend's clients -- the exchange helps eliminate the need for benefit department personnel to navigate
coverage offerings with their hundreds, or sometimes thousands, of retirees.

Genre: Adult Contemporary
|Deep Purple
Nino Tempo & April Stevens (born Antonino and Carol LoTempio) are a brother and sister singing act from Niagara Falls, New York. Formed in the early 1960s when Nino Tempo and April Stevens signed as a duo with Atco Records, the group had a string of Billboard hits and earned a Grammy Award as "best rock & roll record of the year" for the single "Deep Purple".
"Deep Purple" is notable for April Stevens' speaking the lyrics in a low, sweet voice during the second half of the song while her brother sings. When the duo first recorded the song as a demo, Tempo forgot the words, and Stevens spoke the lyrics to remind him. The producers thought Stevens' spoken interludes were "cute" and should be included on the finished product, but according to Stevens, her brother was not as easily convinced: "He didn't want anyone talking while he was singing!"

Northeast blizzard: Your stories
Snow cream! Making food with the snow
- Jareen, CNN iReport producer
Heard of snow cream? It's delicious! My mom gave me the recipe since I've never really been in a blizzard before. It's delicious though. Mix milk with sugar until it dissolves then add vanilla extract. Add this mixture over snow or add snow to the mixture. Tastes so good! Can add oreos for extra flavor and yumminess.

Carnival (NYSE: CCL ) (NYSE: CUK ) has launched an "enhancement program" that will total hundreds of millions of dollars. The investments will be directed at boosting the safety of its ships and include modifications that the company says will "enhance emergency power capabilities, introduce new fire safety technology, and improve the level of operating redundancies" throughout Carnival's 24-strong fleet.
The firm will also establish a safety and reliability review board, a five-member body of outside experts that will monitor those aspects of the company's operations.
The initiative comes barely two months after one of Carnival's ships, the Triumph, went adrift in the Gulf of Mexico following an engine fire.

all im looking for is some bball training ideas for anything from ball handling, to rebouning to strength and conditioning, anything an everything will help. thank you very much this will be very helpful.
For conditining, runkillers, for those you run from baseline to free throw line, back, baseline to half court, back, baseline to other free throw line, back, baseline to baseline, and back. those will really help you to improve your conditioning. As for ball handling, the best thing for me is just bounce the basketball as much as you can, play the game as much as you can, that's the only way to get better. Any questions, please email me email@example.com
In Tamago, we play every day all together. The best for training yourself, is to improve your edurance first. After that, by playing a little bit every day, you will improve your basketball. Good luck !
Well, throughout my career the best conditioning I ever did on my own was sprinting up hills. The best is to find a steep incline that goes for about 50 meters. Sprint up, walk down, sprint up, etc. This by far is the best for cardio and building your legs. The goal is to build stamina and recovery time. So in the beginning, walk slowly down the hill after a sprint up, but try and build it to where you can jog back down, hit the bottom, and take off sprinting back up. It will take some time to get there, but once you're there, you will know you are in shape.
The second thing I would do is jump rope. Jumping rope teaches you how to be on your toes, gives you better timing, and builds stamina as well.
For strength I would do pushups every day, again buiding up each day to try and do one or two more each set. I would also do pullups. Second, build your core strength with various abdominal-tightening exercises, but make sure you are performing them correctly. ( look online for these )
Look online also for dribbling drills that you could do on your own ( there is a ton of excercises out there ), and for rebounding too.
Good luck!
Coach Beez
Yo, what up fools?: It's me, " THE MAN " , Zac Ryan. Even though I'm a cartoon character, I can still ball chump! So if you like basketball, then come check me out and read all my comic strips at:

Ok so I need to know if I overreacted for even caring at all. My DH was talking with some of his buddies a while back and they were talking about his junk (men are weird) and one of the buddies wives was in on the conversation. Ok so am I thrilled he was talking about his privates with this chick right there? No, but hey, what are you gonna do. I understand he wasnt trying to have this convo with her, she just happened to be there. Ok so my problem is that today she put something on facebook reguarding that subject and tagged my DH. She publicly let everyone know she knows an intimate detail about my DH. Thats how I feel and Im upset that she posted it with tagging him. My DH isnt upset about it because he doesnt even care who knows about said subject and he will talk and joke about it freely. I feel like its disrespectful to post something about someone elses DH if its a private thing, like about his privates. He is my husband and his privates should be between us, not us and the world.
Am I wrong in feeling this way??
sorry for any spelling or grammar errors**
