NEW YORK — A handwritten working manuscript of Bruce Springsteen's 1975 hit "Born to Run" has sold for $197,000 at a New York City auction.
It sold at Sotheby's on Thursday. The pre-sale estimate was $70,000 to $100,000.
Sotheby's says the document had been in the collection of Springsteen's former manager, Mike Appel (uh-PEHL'). It didn't reveal the seller's or buyer's identity.
Sotheby's says most of the lines in this 1974 version are apparently unpublished and unrecorded. However, the manuscript does include "a nearly perfected chorus."
It was written in Long Branch, N.J., in blue ink, on an 8½-by-11-inch sheet of ruled notepaper.

NEW YORK – Chris Hansen enticed NBA leaders and owners with the Seattle group's deep pockets, impressive financial and arena presentation, and desire to bring pro basketball back to the Emerald City.
The Sacramento group also came with a viable financial and arena plan, and billionaire Vivek Ranadive intrigued the league with his vision, which Ranadive called NBA 3.0 – the next phase of the league focusing on technology, globalization and sport as an agent of change.
All very impressive, NBA Commissioner David Stern and Deputy Commissioner concluded on Wednesday after listening to the two groups make their pitch to buy the Kings – Hansen wanting to relocate the team to Seattle and Ranadive trying to keep the team in Sacramento.
BETRAYAL?: Kings owner backs Seattle group
But Stern and Silver, along with a committee comprised of owners or team chairmen, ended a long day with many unresolved issues.
The finish line for the sale of the Kings may not be the finish line at all.
With so much at stake – the sale and potential relocation of an NBA franchise – the NBA might not have a decision on the purchase of the Sacramento Kings by the conclusion of the league's Board of Governors meeting on April 19.
"We have a lot of work that we have to do from a construction timeline, a regulatory timeline, an ownership and capital structure timeline, and all kinds of other things that the committee has asked us to go back with lawyers and just get a lot more data and information," Stern said.
Sale of the team requires 3/4 approval from owners, and relocation requires a majority approval from owners. For now, expansion is not on the table.
PHOTOS: Sacramento rallies to keep Kings
In a contrast of post-presentation news conferences, the Seattle group was subdued and the Sacramento group was fired up.
"The NBA does not want to move a team from one market to another, period. We already know that," said Sacramento Mayor and former NBA player Kevin Johnson, who represented the Sacramento group along with Sen. Darrell Steinberg and financial backers Vivek Ranadive, Mark Mastrov and Ron Burkle.
"They normally move a team from one market to another when the fans don't support it or you can't build a building. That's not the case in Sacramento."
Hansen, who represented the Seattle group along with Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer, Erik and Peter Nordstrom and former NBA players and executive Wally Walker, seemed relieved he made his case. His group already has reached a deal to buy 65% of the team from the Maloof family for a league-record valuation of $525 million
"My confidence is really just from the fact that we've really been working hard on this for two 2½ years and you really have to appreciate that," Hansen said.
No specific detail was given regarding the updated offer to buy the team from Sacramento. But Stern -- who said on March 8 that the Sacramento offer fell way short of what would be needed to be seriously considered by the NBA -- indicated afterward that the offer was sufficient.
When asked if the offer needed to be increased, Stern told reporters, "That is not one of the issues."
The Hansen-Ballmer group has already given the Maloofs a $30 million, nonrefundable deposit, but the question remains how the NBA will see that aspect of the deal and whether it may be decided that it is, in essence, the price of doing business in this potential transaction for the Seattle group. When asked about the deposit, Deputy Commissioner Adam Silver said the deposit came with contingencies.
"We're not going to speak to the specifics," Silver said. "And I tell you, it's two entirely different situations. Again, when the Seattle group put down the down payment, that was a contingent deal based on, of course, the ability to purchase and relocate the team. We're dealing with a different circumstance in terms of potential Sacramento buyers."
When asked directly by reporters after the news conference if the Sacramento group planned on matching Seattle's offer, Ranadive offered no specifics but said only, "We're playing to win."
Stern spelled out the other issues – more financial information is needed, how viable is each side's arena deal, including how quickly those arenas can be built and potential obstacles, including lawsuits and political filibustering which could stall progress and long-term profitability.
"We've never had a situation like this," Stern said. "And the seriousness of purpose to me is really incredible, because they know that there's a lot at stake here for two communities and the NBA."
Seattle made its 90-minute presentation first in front of Stern, Silver, San Antonio Spurs owner Peter Holt, Minnesota Timberwolves owner Glen Taylor, Oklahoma City Thunder owner Clay Bennett, New York Knicks owner Jim Dolan, Washington Wizards owner Ted Leonsis, Indiana Pacers owner Herb Simon, Boston Celtics co-owner Wyc Grousbeck and Toronto Raptors chairman Larry Tanenbaum.
Also on the committee but not present were Utah Jazz CEO Greg Miller, Los Angeles Lakers' Jeanie Buss, Phoenix Suns owner Robert Sarver and Miami Heat owner Micky Arison.
During Seattle's presentation, Hansen outlined the financial terms, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer expressed Seattle's enthusiasm for bringing an NBA team back to the city and Sacramento Kings owner George Maloof Jr. "expressed strong support for moving forward with the deal that they've made with Chris Hansen," Seattle Mayor Mike McGinn said.
Hansen, a Seattle native, met with reporters for nearly five minutes, but declined to divulge many details of his group's presentation.
"We were very well prepared. We're optimistic. The ownership group is very enthusiastic and the NBA's got a tough decision to make," Hansen said. "We're hopeful in an outcome in our favor."
Johnson outlined his three-prong approach: the Sacramento market, both in terms of money and fan support; the deal to build a new downtown arena headed by Burkle; the ownership group fronted by Ranadive and Mastrov.
"We made the case that there's only one fair and right way for this to conclude, and that is with victory for Sacramento and for California," Steinberg said, "and I feel very good about the case we made here this afternoon. I was glad to be part of it."
Despite each side's optimism, Stern repeatedly called it a complex situation, and the NBA will seek clarity. Who knows when a decision will be made?
It may not be at the conclusion of the Board of Governors meeting on April 19, but time is a factor. Stern said if there wasn't a decision by April 19, it shouldn't be much longer after that. He didn't offer a firm timetable.
"We have to plan for a season, so there's a combination of timeline set out in the constitution for making a determination," Silver said. "Then there are also the factors as you point out, not just setting a schedule (but) selling a tickets for next season, sponsorships. The owners are mindful of all of those factors."

R. Andre Bell (301) 734-3853
Lyndsay Cole (970) 494-7410
WASHINGTON, June 28, 2011--The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) has prepared a plant pest risk assessment and a draft environmental assessment (EA) to address a request from the Monsanto Company seeking a determination of nonregulated status. The request is for soybeans that have been genetically engineered (GE) to have a modified fatty acid profile and a tolerance to the herbicide glyphosate.
Monsanto's GE soybean, event MON 87705, produces soybean seeds with lower levels of saturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids and higher levels of monounsaturated fatty acid than those found in non-modified soybean seeds. MON 87705 also expresses tolerance to glyphosate, which is the active ingredient in Roundup®.
APHIS' risk assessment indicates that MON 87705 is unlikely to pose a plant pest risk. APHIS is making available for public comment the Monsanto petition, the agency's risk assessment and the draft EA for the proposed determination of nonregulated status.
APHIS has prepared its draft EA to consider the potential environmental effects of a determination of nonregulated status consistent with the Council on Environmental Quality's regulations implementing the National Environmental Policy Act regulations and procedures. This EA has been prepared in order to specifically evaluate the effects on the quality of the human environment that may result from a nonregulated status determination of MON 87705.
MON 87705 is currently under APHIS regulation. Interstate movements, importations and field testing have been conducted under notifications acknowledged by APHIS.
The notice of availability of the risk assessment, draft EA and the petition is published in today's June 28 Federal Register.
Consideration will be given to comments received on or before Aug. 29. You may submit comments by either of the following methods:
• Federal eRulemaking Portal: Go to
www.regulations.gov/#!documentDetail;D=APHIS-2011-0046 to submit or view comments and to view supporting and related materials available electronically.

What Is The Great Hope For The Future Of Cinema?/
Or for that matter, what do you think can really change and move things forward in both the near and distant future? If we could ask five key people what they saw on our various horizons, what would they show us? Who should we ask? One of the great things about being pointed in a direction, is that it is almost a path. Could we have walked down that road when Francis Ford Coppola predicted YouTube in 1991:
It is not easy to just boil down to one specific all the various change that is swarming over us at this point. I see major shifts coming in so many different aspects of cinema: discovery, consideration, value/return, participation, collaboration, transitioning, immersion, and many others. The fact that this far down the road of a connected culture we have not wed social and content together may speak of the resistance to change, but also of the tidal wave that will one day hit us. That all said, I think that all of us -- creators, appreciators, entrepreneurs, & passive audiences members, are going to truly be best served by another aspect all together.
If you ask me, one of the big next changes and TGHFTFOC (see title) is the end of the dominance of the feature film form. Now don't get me wrong: I love feature films more than any other manufactured entity. I have devoted my labor to the creation, enhancement, and appreciation of the form. I just see many trends leading to feature-length linear-narrative passive-engagement work's decreasing relevance, along with many indications that it won't be a bad thing when all participants in both the film industry and culture look at a far widening realm of creation, participation, and consumption.
Perhaps though it is that the end of dominance of the feature film form is a symptom of something even greater. Or maybe it is just another chicken vs. egg paradox. Regardless, the industry and culture are both waking to and adopting a move from a one-off paradigm where each new creative work requires reinventing the wheel and instead embracing both a business model and community focus on an ongoing conversation between the story world initiators and those that engage with it. This abandonment of requiring each new tale to be able to not just stand but forever sprint on its own two feet is not only logical and practical but offers many new opportunities.
I eventually will go in to far greater detail on this (particularly when I can find the time to do so), but want to get this conversation moving forward. I wonder why it is still only the outliers who are in this discussion.
Still for now, we can surely see the benefit of expanding our scripts to include a series of narrative & character extensions. We recognize that each work represents an opportunity for collaborations that we have yet to dream of. We can empower those without traditional access to work with us on building previously neglected connections and launch pads. Our stories and fantasies do not need to begin or end with our renderings but can foster new works and continual creation. We can combat the challenges of living in an era of super-abundance and non-filters by championing greater value in community focus.
The easy way is a path to irrelevance. Temporally manipulative, crowd-based consumptive, audio-visually focused content stopped long ago as being both the art form and entertainment outlet most indicative of our time. The new form is all of that and more. It won't only reflect our era, but lead us into a better world. And it starts with saying good bye to the cultural & economic dominance of antiquated concept.

BRISBANE, Australia, Jan. 3 (UPI) -- Top-seeded Roger Federer dropped just two games Friday in posting a quarterfinal win at the Brisbane International tennis tournament.
Federer raced past Marinko Matosevic 6-1, 6-1 in 57 minutes. Matosevic managed three break chances but Federer saved them all en route to taking nearly three-quarters of the points on serve.
Federer had nine aces and took 21-of-25 points when his first serve was good.
No. 2-seeded Kei Nishikori came away a 6-4, 5-7, 6-2 winner over Marin Cilic. Both players had 15 break chances but Nishikori allowed Cilic to win only one while finishing off three himself.
Also in the quarterfinals, eighth-seeded Jeremy Chardy topped Samuel Groth 7-5, 6-4 and Australian tennis hero Lleyton Hewitt took out qualifier Marius Copil 6-4, 6-2.
Federer goes against Chardy in the semifinals Saturday in their first career meeting. Hewitt takes on Nishikori, a player he beat in four sets in an early round at the 2011 Wimbledon Championships in their only previous match.

Jaden Schwartz scores in sixth straight; Blues top Wild
ST. PAUL, Minn. — The short-handed St. Louis Blues found a way to win. That is something the Minnesota Wild have struggled to do.
Jaden Schwartz scored for the sixth straight game and St. Louis hung on to beat Minnesota 2-1 on Tuesday night.
T.J. Oshie also had a goal for St. Louis, which is 5-0-2 in its past seven road games. The Blues are 8-1-2 in their last 11 overall.
Alexander Steen and David Backes, two of St. Louis' top scorers, were out with upper-body injuries, and the Blues then lost Chris Stewart in the first period when he was hit in the face by a shot from Jason Pominville.
"Our lineup is what it is right now and we've just got to find a way," Blues coach Ken Hitchcock said. "Nobody is feeling sorry for us. We've got to find ways to get points, and this is good."
Ryan Suter scored in the closing seconds for the Wild, who have lost a franchise-record six straight games in regulation, and are 5-12-1 in their past 18.
They have gone 10 straight games without a win in regulation, leading to speculation regarding coach Mike Yeo's job status.
"When things go bad, usually you have to hit the bottom before you can start going, and we're as close to the bottom as we can get," Suter said.
St. Louis, 13-0-1 against the Central Division, hadn't allowed a goal to the Wild for 212 minutes, 52 seconds before Suter scored with 8.3 seconds left in the game. The Blues are 5-0-2 in their last seven games against Minnesota, outscoring the Wild 22-8.
Brian Elliott (10-1-2), who made 24 saves, went 6-0-1 with a 1.67 goals-against average in December. His teammates blocked 24 shots.
"It just speaks of the commitment we have of winning games like this, when you're on the road and it's three tough ones in a row," Elliott said.
St. Louis beat Chicago 6-5 in a shootout at home on Saturday and won 3-2 in overtime at Dallas on Sunday.
Minnesota had allowed 24 goals in its previous five games — 11 in its last two — and much of Monday's practice surrounded defensive-zone coverage.
Yeo switched up the defensive pairings with Suter and Jared Spurgeon playing together, and Jonas Brodin teaming up with Marco Scandella. Suter and Brodin have been the team's top defensive pair for most of the season.
The switch seemed to work early as Minnesota limited the Blues to seven first-period shots, none that were difficult for goalie Josh Harding to handle.
"That's the only way in this league you can win, to play good defense for the full 60 minutes," captain Mikko Koivu said. "I thought we did that pretty good, but then two chances they capitalize, and that's pretty much the end of story."
Oshie gave the Blues a 1-0 lead at 6:49 of the second period.
Mikael Granlund turned the puck over as he tried to come out of the Minnesota end, and Schwartz snapped a quick backhanded pass to Oshie, who was behind two Wild defenders. Oshie, a Minnesota native, deked Harding and tucked the puck into the net.
"We expected a great effort from them, and I think we got that," Oshie said. "The first period they really took it to us, and we got saved by our goalie. After that, we started to get pucks behind them, and that led to our offense."
Schwartz made it 2-0 a little more than nine minutes later when his wrist shot from low in the right circle was partially stopped by Harding, but the puck trickled across the line. Schwartz has 11 points in eight games.
"I'm getting some bounces right now for sure," Schwartz said. "I'm just trying to do my job, and producing is part of it."
Minnesota, which has the second-fewest goals per game in the NHL (2.19) and the fewest in the Western Conference, was on the power play for most of the period's final two minutes. The Wild failed to generate a shot and were loudly booed off the ice when the period expired.
The Wild had another power play early in the third, but Schwartz had the best scoring chance when he got behind two defenders and was stopped by Harding.
"It feels a little bit like Groundhog Day right now. The difference is that every game has been a different story," Yeo said. "We had a good start. Our first was good against a team we knew was going to defend hard and play well, and then unfortunately we broke."
NOTES: St. Louis is 12-1-5 in one-goal games this season. Minnesota 12-4-5. … Blues D Kevin Shattenkirk had a six-game point streak snapped. … This is the eighth consecutive year and 10th time in team history the Wild played at home on New Year's Eve.

According to the experts, it is Pinterest Challenge time again!
Yeah, I wrote about my pillow dyeing experiment the other week. BUT! Then I saw a tutorial for
dying dyeing and pinned it, thinking I would give it another try. See, I was a little disappointed with the saturation of my pillow.
It looked like this:
When I wanted it to look like this:
My pillow was not bright and bold, it was pale. And it didn't have that two tone effect with the dark blue and light blue.
So I found this tutorial just after my pillow-dyeing attempt. There were 2 big differences here – it says to let your fabric soak in dye for 2-3 hours, where I had just soaked my pillow for 45 minutes. It also says specifically to use the powder dye, and I had used the liquid dye. Here's what the result of the tutorial is supposed to look like:
So I hit up the Hobby Lobby once again, bought the powder dye in teal, same color as before. Then I dumped the entire package of dye into about 1 gallon of hot water. This is not per instructions and is way more than you are supposed to use – it is supposed to be one package in 3 gallons of water. This is my third attempt to dye something and I'd never been satisfied with the saturation, I thought I would go crazy and see what happened if I over-dyed (once before I tried to make a blue tank top black, but it ended up gray). I added a half cup of salt to the dye too. Oh look, the directions also say to pre-dissolve the powder in 2 cups of water. Why do they print these directions so tiny? I did stir it up a bit with a paint stick before dipping my pillowcase in.
I let most of the pillowcase soak in the dye for about an hour. Then I pulled part of the pillowcase out so only the lowest part was soaking in the dye for another hour. At the end of 2 hours I rinsed it a bit and then threw the pillowcase in the washing machine because it was taking soooo long to rinse all that dye out. I'm lazy.
Nope, I still didn't get that 2 tone look. Not even close. I don't know why it got blotchy like it did, maybe because I didn't make more of an effort to fully dissolve the dye powder. And you would never know that the bottom third soaked an hour longer than the middle third.
It did get the smeary part at the edge. Like tie dye. I thought tie dye was cool once. In 6th grade.
Here it is chilling on the windowseat. I'm not sure how I feel about it yet – is it better than attempt #1? Worse? Or just a different look?
(Hey Susie, if you're reading this, Ahmed said "that's a cool pillow". So it has received one dude vote.)

House been feeling drafty lately? Or is it your energy bill that's giving you the chills? There's never been a better time to replace windows and insulation and seal your attic air. Minnesota homeowners can get up to $4,000 in rebates for making these energy-efficient home improvements through a new program called Project ReEnergize.
The Minnesota Department of Commerce allocated $2.5 million from its federal stimulus money for the program, which began Oct.1 and is administered by the Builders Association of Minnesota.
What qualifies?
Homeowners can get up to $4,000 in rebates with attic air sealing and up to $2,500 in rebates without attic air sealing. Here's a list of improvements eligible for the rebates, taken from the Project ReEnergize Web site:
|Energy Efficiency Measures Eligible For Rebate
|Maximum Rebate per Household
|Replacement Energy Star window without attic air sealing
|$250 per window
|Replacement Energy Star window with attic air sealing
|$300 per window
|Advanced air sealing of attic
|Attic insulation
|Exterior wall insulation
|Replacing orphaned atmospherically vented water heater
Bargain-hunting Star Tribune columnist Kara McGuire delineated on her blog the program requirements better than I could reinvent:
- Home must be owner-occupied and constructed prior to the year 2000.
- Must work with a Project ReEnergize qualified contractor, licensed by the state of Minnesota.
- Only work completed after October 1, 2009 is eligible for rebates.
- Rebate eligible energy efficient projects must be completed before rebate application can be submitted.
- Age of Housing Constructed prior to 2000.
- Square Footage 3,000 square feet or less; not including basements, garages or crawlspaces.
- Home must be owner occupied and homeowner must have permission to alter building shell.
- There are no household income limits. Only properties meeting the square footage limit are eligible for rebates.
Project ReEnergize rebates can be received on top of current federal tax credits (up to $3,500 for similar improvements) and energy company incentives for increasing energy efficiency.
Don't try to save more money by doing it yourself. Projects must be completed by a Project ReEnergize qualified contractor.

LeBron James scored 22 points, Chris Bosh had 18 and the Miami Heat took a 2-0 lead in its Eastern Conference semifinal series by beating the Brooklyn Nets, 94-82, on Thursday night at Miami.
Dwyane Wade had 14 points and Ray Allen scored 13 for the Heat, which tied a franchise record with its eighth straight playoff victory.
For the second consecutive game, Miami had five players in double figures.
"That's what our team is all about," James said. "We don't really care who scores."
Deron Williams was 0 for 9 from the field, the worst shooting night of his career. Mirza Teletovic set a Nets playoff record with six three-pointers, on his way to a 20-point night off the bench.
The Nets led by one point at the half and trailed by two after three quarters before the Heat pulled away with a 25-15 edge in the final period.
"That one hurt," Nets Coach Jason Kidd said. "We were right there. We gave ourselves, on the road, an opportunity against the world champs. We let the game slip away."
Game 3 is Saturday night in Brooklyn.
at San Antonio 114, Portland 97: Kawhi Leonard scored 20 points, Tony Parker had 16 points and 10 assists, and the Spurs took a 2-0 lead in the Western Conference semifinals.
Manu Ginobili scored 16 points and Tiago Splitter had 10 points and 10 rebounds in the Spurs' second convincing victory to open the best-of-seven series.
Nicolas Batum scored 21 points for Portland. Damian Lillard had 19 points and LaMarcus Aldridge added 16 points and 10 rebounds, but Portland again struggled to score against San Antonio's suffocating defense.
The Trail Blazers host Game 3 on Saturday night.
Portland found a snake in its locker room before the game and seemed rattled in the first half before finding its footing in the fourth quarter.
A baby rattlesnake, estimated at about 3 to 4 feet, was discovered in the team's locker room at the AT&T Center about two hours before the game.
It was found by reserve forward Thomas Robinson, who recoiled a few feet after seeing the snake when he moved a bag from his locker.

Select one of the above questions to find out it's answer.
Fluorocarbon is made from Hydrogen, Carbon, and Fluoride. This combination of elements creates the molecule known as PVDF, or Poly-Vinyl-i-Dene-Fluoride.
No. Just because the product says 100% fluorocarbon does not mean it is just like any other on the market. Only Seaguar makes fluorocarbon lines and leaders from beginning to end without any outside companies involved. The difference of quality varies from brand to brand.
Nylon is a less expensive material and easier to extrude (produce).
Braided line seems to have a growing trend of uses and applications. From top-water to drop-shot applications, braid definitely has its benefits with respect to sensitivity, castability and less stretch. We recommend using braid with a short fluorocarbon top-shot leader. Combine Seaguar Kanzen, Smackdown, or Threadlock braid with the matching diameter of any Seaguar fluorocarbon leader and you'll get the benefits of premium quality fishing line and leader.
Since Seaguar is known throughout the world as the premium Fluorocarbon creator, they decided to focus their leading edge technology towards producing superior braided lines to fill the needs of anglers that prefer braid for specific fishing applications. By combining Seaguar braid and Seaguar fluorocarbon, you'll have the best of both worlds.
Freshwater Kanzen & Saltwater Kanzen
Freshwater Smackdown & Saltwater Smackdown
Seaguar is the only company that makes their own resins for each line and leader from beginning to end.
There are a few fluorocarbons that are more expensive. Seaguar costs a little bit more because the resins and extrusion process are all of the highest quality and the latest technology and are manufactured ONLY for lines and leaders. We cannot speak for the competition.
b. Double Structure Technology - Our TATSU line, Blue Label (FC) and Fluoro Premier leaders, and Grand Max, and Grand Max FX tippets are all Double Structure, a Seaguar exclusive process that injects two different molten resins through a special die. The resins are extruded as one solid piece. The harder, inside resin contributes to the Tensile Strength, while the softer, outside resin creates greater Knot Strength.
c. Price - Leaders and Tippets are more difficult to produce because of double structure and the resins involved, therefore line is less expensive and leader/tippets cost more.
d. Resins - Since Seaguar is the only fluorocarbon brand in the world that makes its own resins, different exclusive resins are used for all of our products. The resins in our line are different than the resins in our leaders.
Double Structure is the combining of two distinct 100% fluorocarbon resins into one solid piece. The exterior resin is soft and contributes to higher knot strength, while the interior resin is hard and contributes to higher tensile strength. A Seaguar Exclusive. Seaguar's Double Structure products are: TATSU, Fluoro Premier, Blue Label, Grand Max, and Grand Max FX
No, being that it is a solid piece and not layered or coated, it cannot separate.
Yes, all Seaguar lines are soft enough to be used on any reel for any type of fishing.

GSA Announces Plan to Modernize Schedules
June 7, 2012
Effort will save millions, reduce waste and streamline the schedule process.
WASHINGTON – Today, The U.S. General Services Administration outlined the next step in a cost-cutting business model for its Multiple Award Schedules that will save millions of taxpayer dollars and reduce inefficiencies. Under this new plan, GSA will stop adding new contractors for outdated products such as typewriters, photographic equipment, trophies and commemorative or promotional items. Directing scarce acquisition resources away from the more than 8,000 obsolete contracts -- which each cost at least $3,000 per year to administer -- will streamline the schedule process and save more than $24 million a year.
"By stopping the proliferation of low performance contracts and cutting products or services that are no longer mission-critical to the government, GSA will reduce waste and save millions of taxpayer dollars annually," said Dan Tangherlini, Acting Administrator. "This helps us streamline the way we do business, save taxpayer dollars, and ensure the most efficient delivery of services to our customer agencies."
The Multiple Award Schedules leverage the purchasing power of the federal government to provide discounted products and services to government through thousands of contracts with private companies. GSA projects that more than 50 percent of the contracts awarded in 2011 will have low or no sales.
In recent years, the number of companies trying to get onto GSA's Multiple Award Schedules has roughly doubled and the number of modifications to existing contracts has tripled. Managing these contracts from the private sector requires significant investment in administrative and contracting resources. A demand-based model for Multiple Award Schedules will save millions of taxpayer dollars annually by phasing out outdated products and services, and eliminating contract agreements that have low or no performance. GSA will also be looking at more than 19,000 contracts with private sector firms to determine which industries are over saturated and where duplication has created a crowded and confusing market.
"When contracting officers are bogged down managing thousands of contracts with little to no sales, they can't focus on adding innovative solutions to the schedules, improving pricing, and simplifying the buying experience for our customers. Modernizing the schedules will change that," said Steve Kempf, Commissioner of the GSA Federal Acquisition Service.
GSA is strongly committed to working with small businesses to deliver services to the federal government and this plan to modernize the Multiple Award Schedules program will only impact low and no performance contract agreements. The MAS program routinely exceeds the governmentwide small business contracting goal of 23 percent. Specifically, more than 70 percent of all MAS vendors are small businesses and approximately 34 percent of all dollars spent on the MAS go to small businesses.

As the federal government's workplace solutions provider, the U.S. General Services Administration works to foster an effective, sustainable and transparent government for the American people. GSA's expertise in government workplace solutions include:
• Effective management of government assets including more than 9,600 government-owned or leased buildings and 215,000 vehicles in the federal fleet, and preservation of historic federal properties;
• Leveraging the government's buying power through responsible acquisition of products and services making up approximately 14 percent of the government's total procurement dollars;
• Providing innovative technology solutions to enhance government efficiency and increase citizen engagement; and,
• Promoting responsible use of federal resources through development of governmentwide policies ranging from federal travel to property and management practices.

Nebula is a distributed system, fed by honeypots, that automates the generation of IDS signatures to detect and identify attacks. The goals for the next three months are to improve nebula so that the quality of generated signatures gets better. Also, more and different types of sensors should be able to contribute to a distributed signature generation setup. All in all, there are three work packages:
Primary Mentor: Felix Leder
Secondary Mentor: Jamie Riden
Student: Tillmann Werner
WP1: Nebula's clustering algorithm is one of the two critical components (the other important one is the signature generation engine). In the current implementation, clusters are built following a relatively easy strategy. In particular, cluster density is not considered. The classifiaction results can be improved by replacing the clustering algorithm with a density aware alternative. Another improvement would be to save classification states to files so that the nebula daemon can be interrupted in its execution (expectedly or unexpectedly) and resume from the latest state after a restart.
WP2: Sources that want to submit data to a nebula daemon must implement a proprietary protocol which was designed especially for secure and efficient attack submissions. To date, a submission module exists for honeytrap only. A command line client is available for manual submission of files. In this work packages, a libnebula C library will be developed for easy integration of nebula client functionality into other applications (e.g., nepenthes, snort).
WP3: Intrusion detection systems such as snort can also be used to submit detected attacks to nebula. Although this might at first seem pointless, it is not: Classical intrusion detection signatures often trigger on very simple features. Nebula could be used to generate more complex signatures for the corresponding attacks - not to be used for detection, but for a better understanding of an attack's properties. Signatures computed by nebula extract structural commonalities and are thus very helpful for understanding an attack class's anatomy. In work package 3, a snort plugin will be written based on the library developed in WP2. Snort is the best application around for UDP and TCP stream reassembly which is necessary to reconstruct complete attack strings prior to submission to nebula. As it might perform better to unlink intrusion detection from stream reassembly, a different application will be implemented based on libnids and libnebula. It might even be possible to let this application interact with snort.
Besides these three working package, several experiments with nebula's signature generation engine will be performed and some minor improvements will be added, e.g., a more sophisticated feature selection strategies that could result in even better signatures (the current strategy is a greedy algorithm).
Each work package will be assigned one month of development. The official timeline provides a bit less than that for coding because of administrative work before and after the development phase. The following milestones are set:
2009-05-15 - Starting to code
2009-06-15 - WP1 due
2009-07-15 - WP2 due
2009-08-15 - WP3 due
One project mentored by the Honeynet Project during GSoC aims at improving nebula, an automated intrusion signature generator. There are two critical components in the signature generator: A clustering engine that groups similar attacks into classes, and a signature assembler that extracts common features and selects some of them for the actual signature.

Office of Labor-Management Standards

Mr. Randy Robbins, Business Manager
Boilermakers AFL-CIO Lodge 502
16621 110th Ave., East
Puyallup. WA 98374-9503
LM File Number: 514-787
Case Number: ||||||||||
Dear Mr. Robbins:
This office has recently completed an audit of Boilermakers Lodge 502 under the Compliance Audit Program (CAP) to determine your organization's compliance with the provisions of the Labor-Management Reporting and Disclosure Act of 1959 (LMRDA). As discussed during the exit interview with you on February 22, 2010, the following problems were disclosed during the CAP. The matters listed below are not an exhaustive list of all possible problem areas since the audit conducted was limited in scope.
Recordkeeping Violations
Title II of the LMRDA establishes certain reporting and recordkeeping requirements. Section 206 requires, among other things, that labor organizations maintain adequate records for at least five years by which each receipt and disbursement of funds, as well as all account balances, can be verified, explained, and clarified. As a general rule, labor organizations must maintain all records used or received in the course of union business.
For disbursements, this includes not only original bills, invoices, receipts, vouchers, and applicable resolutions, but also documentation showing the nature of the union business requiring the disbursement, the goods or services received, and the identity of the recipient of the goods or service. In most instances, this documentation requirement can be satisfied with a sufficiently descriptive expense receipt or invoice. If an expense receipt is not sufficiently descriptive, a union officer or employee should write a note on it providing the additional information. For money it receives, the labor organization must keep at least one record showing the date, amount, purpose, and source of that money. The labor organization must also retain bank records for all accounts.
The audit of the Boilermakers Lodge 502's 2009 records revealed the following recordkeeping violations:
1. Credit Card Expenses
Lodge 502 did not retain adequate documentation for credit card expenses incurred by Randy Robbins and || ||||||||| totaling at least $8509. For example purchases for gasoline, lodging, airfare, auto maintenance, and miscellaneous on-line purchases were not supported with a receipt.
As previously noted above, labor organizations must retain original receipts, bills, and vouchers for all disbursements. The president and treasurer (or corresponding principal officers) of your union, who are required to sign your union's LM report, are responsible for properly maintaining union records.
2. Meal Expenses
Boilermakers Lodge 502 did not require officers to submit itemized receipts for meal expenses totaling at least $2729. The union must maintain itemized receipts provided by restaurants to officers and employees. These itemized receipts are necessary to determine if such disbursements are for union business purposes and to sufficiently fulfill the recordkeeping requirement of LMRDA Section 206.
Boilermakers Lodge 502 records of meal expenses did not always include written explanations of union business conducted or the names and titles of the persons incurring the restaurant charges. For example, 58 out of 64 meal receipts did not list the union business conducted or names of the attendees incurring the expense. Union records of meal expenses must include written explanations of the union business conducted and the full names and titles of all persons who incurred the restaurant charges. Also, the records retained must identify the names of the restaurants where the officers or employees incurred meal expenses.
Based on your assurance that Boilermakers Lodge 502 will retain adequate documentation in the future, OLMS will take no further enforcement action at this time regarding the above violations.
I want to extend my personal appreciation to Boilermakers Lodge 502 for the cooperation and courtesy extended during this compliance audit. I strongly recommend that you make sure this letter and the compliance assistance information provided to you are passed on to future officers. If we can provide any additional assistance, please do not hesitate to call.

A History of Greece to the Death of Alexander the Great - part 23
A History of Greece to the Death of Alexander the Great, Vol 1 by John Bagnell Bury (1861-1927) audiobook J.B. Bury wrote his "History of Greece" before World War I, but it was such a good overview of classical Greek history that the third edition was still being used as a college textbook in the late 1960?s. In the newer editions, a co-author rewrote the material dealing with the early centuries where there have been new archeological developments, but the later chapters and Bury's framework were retained essentially unchanged. Bury writes in a lucid, easily understood style that entertains as it educates. The book covers artistic and literary development, as well as politics and war, and its field of view includes western Asia Minor, the Agean archipelago, and "Greater Greece" (Sicily and Southern Italy).

The yield on the U.S. ten-year treasury dipped below 1.40% this morning, the lowest in recorded history. Why does money continue to flow into this perceived "safe haven?" Is America really financially stronger than the rest of the world or are we bankrupt? To illustrate, allow me to introduce, "The Satirical World of Bob."
Bob was an articulate, charismatic guy with a decent paying job. He did, however, possess a penchant for the good life and was motivated enough to do whatever it took to achieve it. When his first credit card application arrived in the mail - along with the normal circulars and other advertisements - he quickly grabbed a pen, filled it out and sent it in. Within two weeks, Bob had received his first plastic money machine. Machine I say, because in Bob's mind, a credit card was like creating money out of thin air. Shortly thereafter, he had acquired 3 additional cards. After an extended shopping spree, Bob was the proud owner of a new state-of-the-art boat complete with all the requisite fishing gear, a few HD-TV's, computers, various kitchen appliances, and whatever else he desired. Without much effort at all, his cards were soon maxed out. What did Bob do? Why, he got more credit cards, that's what. In fact, in a few months, Bob had 24 credit cards, each at their limit, putting him exactly $1,200,000 in the red. With an annual income of only $75,000, his debt-to-income ratio was a staggering.....well let's just say he was having trouble paying the minimum payment. What did Bob do? More credit cards? No! Bob figured he needed more income so he went job hunting.
Bob had always been an avid news buff and enjoyed a good political debate from time to time. In fact, this congenial chap always fancied himself as the consummate soft-hearted, social minded sort. To him, the government seemed like a perfect fit for his spending proclivities. After all, he felt the massive federal debt was as necessary as mother's milk is to a newborn babe. He also fancied the way the government could print new money without anything to back it up anytime it so desired. To him, deficits were just a normal part of life.
Before we return to our story, let's exit our "Satirical World of Bob" and focus on a most pressing matter. FACT: The U.S. government is bankrupt! Yes, bankrupt. Skeptical? Ok, I'll provide some facts and you decide.
The government has an "official" debt of $15.8 trillion and mounting. But wait, there's more. This doesn't include the liability from Social Security and Medicare. When you factor these in, the amount according to some, exceeds $120 trillion. With U.S. Federal tax revenue of just over $2.3 trillion, that puts our debt-to-income ratio somewhere around 5,082%. Now let me ask you. If you, as an individual, entered your local bank and asked for a loan with a similar debt-to-income ratio, what do you think the loan officer would say? Would they give you the loan? Now let's return to Bob.
Bob ultimately found employment in Congress where he became one of the biggest spenders on the hill. He was re-elected several times by his constituents as they especially liked how Bob could "bring home the bacon." In fact, Bob became rather wealthy in the process. From his vantage, there was no problem. Besides, as long as the boat remained afloat, everything was fine. However, when the children and grandchildren of his constituents became adults, their tax rate exceeded 75% and lost the desire to work hard since they could only keep about 25 cents of every dollar they earned.
Are we bankrupt? You decide.

Entrepreneur Dan needed a new other design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 23 designs submitted by 8 freelance designers.
I need a line drawing showing the movement of the jaw. See sample in the description. It will be printed in a book and used for presentations.
I'm working on a book with a chiropractor and we need a few technical
graphics. This may lead to additional work for the winner. The first
one shows the movement of the jaw. Go to http://www.drgerardo.com/axis_of_rotation.jpg . This is the
graphic we have now. It shows how the jaw's axis of movement is
located in between the atlas and axis. Show how the arc of the swing of the
mandible (lower jaw) will eminate from this point when opening or
I want you to take the concept of the sample graphic
( http://www.drgerardo.com/axis_of_rotation.jpg ) and come up
with your own version in a black and white line drawing. I'm open to
some gray scale shading, but keep it simple. It will be printed in
b&w. The existing graphic is too complex. The primary audience is the
general public, with some doctors also looking at it..
A complicated / busy drawing.

The exception is the City of Monticello, which is expected to keep the tax rate the same as in prior years. With an increase in property values in Monticello, this could translate into a roughly four percent increase in the amount of tax collected.
A Truth in Taxation hearing will be required for the City of Monticello before the new tax rates are finalized. The Monticello City Council was expected to address the issue at the June 23 Council meeting, which was held after the press deadline.
The issue is complex because of a change in the assessed value of some properties. The value of centrally assessed properties, including oil and gas fields, dropped by $60 million in the past year.
An increase in the value of locally assessed properties in Monticello and Blanding, including homes and businesses, means local homeowners will carry an increasing portion of the total tax burden.
San Juan County Clerk Norman Johnson says the deadline to set the tax rates is June 26.
