... phone coverage after a 30 minute white knuckle drive. Our plan was to stay in Vermont though our iMap advised us that this involved a ferry crossing...the other option was a 6 hour trip that we were not up to.
There were no ferries running at this time so we stayed in the port town in the first hotel we passed that had a vacancy sign and we rolled into bed.

Business owners happy about Trinity move
Send this to a friend
Retailers, hoteliers and pretty much everyone else with a business on U.S. 280 are in a partying mood tonight.
Trinity Medical Center today won a drawn-out legal battle over its planned relocation from Montclair Road to the unfinished HealthSouth Corp. (NYSE: HLS) digital hospital.
The win is huge for the area's economy, as I've previously written. The business park Cahaba Center, anchored by Trinity, is expected to employ 5,500 people, creating more than 9,000 jobs in the area and $405 million in additional annual earnings in the region, according to a Trinity release.
Denny Barrow, a principal of restaurant Mooyah in the Colonnade, said he was ecstatic about the news. The promise of Trinity's coming was what pulled him to the area, and he said that decision is about to pay off.
"I think it's going to energize the 280 corridor and particularly the Colonnade," he said.
Considering that much of the area is already developed, Barrow said he wouldn't be surprised if area property values rocketed 20 to 30 percent.
"I think there are a lot of businesses that have waited with great anticipation for Trinity and the number of people it's going to bring," he said.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
Newington Schools are amazing, and M.K is one of them. This is the first school that is offering "Academy of Biomedical Sciences" for kids. They invested allot of money to build a Lab and special classrooms for kids . The teachers are great, very easy to talk to, and helpfull in any way. Its great that kids with strengthes in math /science, or just beeing interested in Biomedical field get the early experience, of what direction they want to in the future. As the time comes to go to College, i think they will know for sure what they want to do , where most kids are clueless at that point, confused, and to earlie to decide what to do. Its much more requared from this class than the other middle school classes, the school days are longer, and more homework. Any hard work pays off at the end.
My son was diagnosed with pdd adhd just noticed on iep that it said special learning disability and not autism h now in fifth grade having trouble with no services and stubborn teachers who don't want to listen.
Along with these other reviews, I too think MKMS is a good environment But some times there is bullying even though the school has a NO BULLYING policy. I highly suggest this school! :)
I am in the seventh grade, and i have been in kellogg sence 5th. The staff and teachers are kind and friendly, they are more than willing to help out. The school is clean and enviormently friendly. Students, as far as i know, are well behaved. A safe and "clean"(no swearing, bullying,etc) school. If you are debating on putting your child in kellogg, I strongly suggest you do. The school offers so many extra programs. Between challenging academic programs, strong parent interaction(PAC), chorus, band, sports, and plays. I am looking forward to the rest of the year, and 8th grade.
MKMS is a great school and everyone is just sooo nice! im gonna be sooo sad when i havew to leave!
So far im in sixth grade and i love MKMS. The drama productions are awsome and the teachers are soo friendly. I can never ask for a better schoool!!
This is my last year here and I love this skool all the techers are just sooo amazing
This year is my child's second year at MKMS and so far the experience has been a positive one. The principal and teaching staff have been very approachable and any questions or concerns I've had have been handled in a very prompt and caring manner.
well, MKMS is one of the best school there is to this whole world. I feel like im right at the school where i haveto because everyone is just so friendly , the teachers and teh students. They have all been very nice. Furthmore, the way they teach is really sophisticated and i think it really works around with kids and teacher because we are all learning every day.
I am a girl who used to go to MKMS. MKMS has children that learn what they should be learning in a higher grade. This school has an art room with a wheel and has saws to make objects out of wood. MKMS has many things that other schools don't have.
I am not a parent but i do attend this school. Our school does offer alot of activitys and help. for example we have many homework clubs to help people who have trouble is all subjects. we also have so many cool and interesting teachers who help your children alot. we also have many other clubs including chorus, band, drama, and sports. are school is also very safe, for example we installed cameras and ID activited locks on all doors leading into our school.

A hard-hitting probe carried out by the Audit Office into multi-million pound deals said the HIHE did not sufficiently challenge poor work and left itself open to major losses.
Officials noted that the 2011 cancellation of contracts with Red Sky construction - worth an annual £7m - followed a series of investigations dating back to the mid 1990s.
"Based on our findings, and in the absence of concrete evidence to the contrary, we can only conclude that, for many years, there has been a very significant risk to value for money in response maintenance expenditure," the report said.
"Indeed, the weaknesses in assessment, reporting and management oversight of contracts, particularly at a high level within NIHE, left the organisation exposed to impropriety and fraud.
"While poor contractor performance had been evident to NIHE management for many years, the Audit Office found that the actions necessary to strengthen the contract management regime were not taken."
The report looked at the handling of £200m worth of contacts between 2006 and 2011.
It criticised the reporting of serious concerns within the NIHE - and said that only two of the 22 ongoing investigations into suspected fraud during 2010-11 had been raised formally with the Comptroller and Auditor General.
The office also claimed there is a perception that whistle-blowers did not always receive the protection required, making a series of recommendation on how this can be improved.
Meanwhile it found that senior management was resistant to negative internal audits and suppressed a critical report on the disposal of land.
Kieran Donnelly, Comptroller and Auditor General, said: "Over the five years to 2011, the Housing Executive has spent more than £200 million on response maintenance. My review found serious weaknesses in the management of the contracts governing this expenditure.
"However, I welcome the Housing Executive's acceptance of the recommendations contained in my report and its introduction of wide-ranging changes to deliver improvements.
"These are essential if tenants are to receive a quality service and taxpayers are to receive value for money.

Avid Media Composer 7/6.5/6/5.5 won't read MXF files- Solution
Summary: A quick tutorial teaches you how to convert MXF files for Avid MC, so that you can import MXF into Avid Media Composer 7/6.5/6/5.5 flawlessly.
I have some wonderful footage in MXF format. What I wanna know is how can I handle these MXF clips in Avid Media Composer. So I have scoured the internet, tried everything I could find. And I have a decent solution- converting MXF to Avid Media Composer native supported format DNxHD. mov.
MXF files are often produced by high-end cameras and camcorders, like Sony XDCAM, Panasonic P2, and Canon XF300/XF305, C300 to store video, audio, and programmed data. However, MXF as a container format, still can not be natively or directly supported by many professional video editing programs including Avid Media Composer. The uncompressed HD format delivers superior image quality, but data rates and file sizes can stop a workflow dead in its tracks. As I mentioned above, a best solution to importing MXF to Avid MC is to transcode MXF files to Avid.
Overall, Brorsoft MXF Converter for Mac is just one of the best Avid MXF Converter for you to transcode MXF files for Avid smooth editing on Mac (Mountain Lion, Mavericks included). The program is capable of converting Canon XF as well as Sony XDCAM and Panasonic P2 MXF to DNxHD, MPEG-2, Apple ProRes, AIC, etc on Mac OS X for smoothly importing and editing in various non-linear editing systems (NLE), including Avid Media Composer 5.5/6.0/6.5/7, Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, iMovie and more. If you're using a Windows PC, please turn to its equivalent Windows version - MXF Converter. Now take a look at the brief guide below.
Transcode MXF videos to Avid MC for smoothly editing
Before starting MXF file conversion, connect your camcorder to iMac with USB 2.0 cable or use card reader to transfer the .mxf files to Apple hard drive disk. Please keep the whole MXF file structure to HDD, because MXF systems produce split-file A/V (that is, the video and audio stored in separate files).
1. Add MXF files to this top MXF to NDxHD Converter
Launch Brorsoft MXF Converter for Mac, and click the "Add Files" button to load .mxf videos for converting.
2. Choose DNxHD .mov for Avid Media Composer
Click on the "Format" bar and choose Avid Media Composer->Avid DNxHD(*.mov) as the target format.
PS: You also can click "Settings" to set video frame rate, video size and Video Bitrate as you want.
3. Converting MXF to Avid Media Composer

Spela Bratun's comments mirror what professionals in the adventure travel sector are noting: More people are taking sporting travel breaks. By better publicising their opportunities for niche sports, adventure sports, and extreme sports, countries such as Slovenia are attracting new visitors. Having worked in Croatia before it developed, its potential was clear. I can only recommend tourist boards look to social media to promote themselves to the adventure sports fraternity. Our readers don't pick up brochures, they click through pages.

James Bond films, this is where a spy is dressed in appropriate gear for, e.g., parachuting, scuba diving or jetpacking, which he is doing to infiltrate a party. Once on the ground, he unzips his clothes to reveal an immaculate tuxedo underneath. Based on a true story! It should be noted that accomplishing this Trope requires a particular type of SCUBA outfit, known appropriately as a "dry-suit" as opposed to the more familiar "wet-suit." Dry-suit use requires additional training and certification to properly use. A Sub-Trope of Dressed in Layers.

Inventor 2013 part file attached.
I am trying to get the rectangle pattern to form 8 blades of the same shape and height across the barrel.A picture shows how the height is lost within the barrel..The only blade which is the same height is the 2 outside blades
Is the rectangle the right tool to produce the result?
This same question has come up here several times in the past - is it a class assignment?
A search should turn up the solution. As I recall there is a bit of a trick.
No it is not a classroom assignment just something i want to learn to do.
JD,no luck with the search.Do you remeber the trick?
Would anyone know how to create this rectangle pattern please?
I have made some progress.Should the blades be equal distances between each other...sketch shows different distances even though the 2 outside blades are same

Lead Paint
Take precautions when removing lead paint.
Print OptionsClose
E-mail This Page to Your Friendsx
A link to %this page% was e-mailed
Because of health concerns, lead based paint was taken off the market in 1978. If your house was built after that, you should have no lead paint worries. But if your home is older, like the house in Cape Charles, Virginia, you'll have to take some precautions when rehabbing or scraping away layers of paint.
The most common places to find lead paint problems are around windows and doors. If the paint is chipping it could pose a health hazard, especially to young children who could ingest the paint chips. If the paint is not chipping and in good condition, it doesn't pose a threat, so, leave it alone. But repainting or remodeling can send lead dust airborne creating a dangerous situation.
Still, if you live in an older home, there's no need to panic over your paint:
- A reputable laboratory can test your paint to see if it contains lead. Check with housing authorities in your area for recommendations.
- Call in a "lead trained" contractor for removal if your paint tests positive and appears to be chipping or peeling.
- Investigate before you renovate. If you're not planning to strip the old paint you should at least know what type of paint you'll be covering up.
Painting over lead-based paint won't change its potential for being a health hazard. But it will minimize exposure.

In past presidential cycles, the idea of fixing the tax code by charging everyone the same rate has caught on like wildfire, only to die out later. This Presidential election season, candidates Herman Cain Rick Perry, and Newt Gingrich are promoting flat tax plans. We'll look at this concept…why it remains popular…and why it hasn't yet become law.

My name is Annie and I'm a sad little girl. My previous owner became really sick and was hospitalized. That meant she unfortunately was too sick to care for me. I loved her very much but she wanted me to have the family that I deserved. So she called WHARF and knew they would help me find an amazing family just like she was. I am a really calm and loyal dog. I am really laid back and just want to cuddle up next to you. If you want to meet my pretty face please inquire! I am spayed, vaccinated, dewormed, and tattooed.
Age : 9 months
Greetings! The name is Bruno. My previous owner loved me very much or so I thought she did. I was surrendered to WHARF because of living circumstances. I am a very lovable boy and will always greet you with tail wags and puppy dog kisses. I love to snuggle and be around people. Just to be around people makes me the happiest dog on the earth. I know my basic commands and do pretty well on a leash. I am a little overweight or big boned is what I like to say. If you want to take me on a jog sometime feel free. I am great with cats, dogs and kids. Playing and going on adventures are kind of my thing. Want to be an adventurer with me? I am neutured, vaccinated, dewormed, and tattooed.
Age : 5 years
Congo. That's my name. I came here with my shelter mates from Mexico and want to find a warm, safe home of my own. I am 3 years old and my foster mamas say I am stunning, with my brindle fur and handsome face mask! They say I'm a timid kind of guy, but I just take my time getting to know and love you! Even so, I am a very gentle dog who would love to find a home with another strong, calm dog to guide me and teach me even more as my confidence builds. My new ma or pa should be calm, gentle and patient too, as I will need time to learn all about them. My best buddy is Mitch...he lets me follow him and play with him and teaches me so much! So, a brother dog would help me come out of my shell even more! I love getting pets and scratches behind the ears and love a good back rub! When I first came here, I had never seen snow before, but believe it or not, I love the snow!! Nothing makes me happier than bounding thru the snow at full speed and bouncing all around, hoping someone will chase me! They say I'm a high energy guy...so, if you have a fenced yard with some space for me to cut loose, I will be the happiest dog in the land!! One playbow, and off I go! In the house, I love my soft bed and chew stuffies and will sometimes carry them around everywhere! I am a good boy in my crate and am getting real good at the house training part! I don't know any tricks yet, but I know I will learn some soon! I'm just so busy running and jumping and loving my chew toys right now! I can't wait to meet you and hear all about this place called a furever home

My name is Delta and I was transfered down from the Saskatchewan SPCA where I sat in there for months with no one having hte slightest interest in me. Well that is not true people came in and wanted to only adopt me for an outside dog or guard dog. That is not how I want to live, let alone be a guard dog. There isn't a mean bone in my body. I am great with other dogs, and by that I mean even if they are growling I lick them right in the face. I am playful, smart, I love water and I love to play fetch. I am fully house and kennel trained and I know my basics, I am good on and off the leash and I am good with kids too. I would prefer a home without cats, since I like to play with everything this even means cats but it is not always a good play. I do have some previous damage to my back leg but since the injury was so old there was nothing they could do. Sometimes I jsut get a bit sore on my leg after I play too much but nothing a bit of bed rest can't fix. I am ready for my new home and can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you. I am spayed, vaccinated, de-wormed and micro-chipped. Come and adopt me!

My name is Devin. I am a stunning young lad. I was found scrounging for food near the Saskatchewan reserve. They said it looked like I had escaped from somewhere. They don't have a lot of information on me but one thing they do know is that I'm the sweetest most loving guy. I am glorious with other dogs, cats and I've never really been around little humans. I am super friendly and always have time for hugs and kisses. I am kennel trained and I pull just a little on the leash. I enjoy going hiking and on adventures. I have the biggest heart and it has a couple more spaces to fill. Are you wanting to complete my heart? I am neutered, vaccinated, dewormed, and tattooed.

My name is Fennec and I am one special boy that really needs your help. I was a sled dog, I know pretty crazy because I have little to no fur but yes I lived in the snow. I started training for a sled when I was just a pup, but the thing with that is we are only alive to work, well atleast at the one I was raised on. Our day usually consists of waking up on our chains that are connected to dog house, getting geared up to the sleds, working all day, returning to our dog houses and then eating and going to bed. We didn't really get to live like dogs are supposed to. Some of the dogs really enjoyed it but I hated it. So one day I decided to break off my chain and escape the life I didn't enjoy. I ran free for quite awhile until I was finally trapped by some dog rescuers. I was pretty feral by this time not that I was very well socialized before but running wild made it worse. I was then transported to Edmonton where I was placed with WHARF to start my rehab. I am doing okay in my foster home but everything scares me as I have actually only ever been in a home for about a week out of my two year life. I am scared of people, cats, loud noises, pretty much everything that a dog is supposed to enjoy. My foster mom is very calm and patient with me and helping me work through all of my fears, which is a lot. I have no agression in me at all I am just scared, I am actually super sweet and they are really hoping that I will be able to trust people again. I mostly get through my day by following the other dogs around, I am learning the most from them. I follow them outside, back in the house, I walk like a gem on the leash but only if they are with me, I honestly just don't understand how to be a pet.......yet. My foster home makes sure that I always have a dog with me as they are helping me be confident and brave. I go to work with her everyday and just lay under her chair, getting pets, eating treats and trying to get accustomed to other people and new surroundings. I am ready for my new home but it will have to be a special one. I want a very quiet soft home with another dog and a human that will love me and be patient with me. I have had a very hard life and just need to grow with someone, I can learn to love and be someonescompanion but it will just take some time. I am a really good boy and am house and am house and kennel trained, I ride perfectly in the vehicle and with time I will learn my basic commands. Those I am just to scared to do. I may cower and hide behind something when you come and meet me but please just take some time to get to know me. I really want to try this whole pet thing out and I deserve to know what its like to be a dog. I am neutered, vaccinated, de-wormed and tattooed. Come meet me but make sure you have a while to spend with me.

My name is Fifa and I was picked up by bylaw as a stray. They think I was tied up outside all by myself and not treated very well as I am scared of most things. I am scared of men, cower at fast movements and sometimes submissive pee when there are loud noises. I am a very special girl that needs help building my confidence up and also being exposed to things that dogs are supposed to do like play, walking on the leash and just getting general pets and snuggles. I don't think I have ever done these things before because I am terrified of them all. I have bonded really well to my foster home because she is really nice to me and is trying to help mne actually be a dog. I am having fun in my temporary home and am really good with the other dogs and cats, they try to play with me and teach me things but it is taking a while for me to get used to it. Mostly so far I just run and hide behind my foster mom but I really want to get involved with the otehr dogs, it looks like a lot of fun. If you have time to spend with me and help me out I would love for you to come and meet me. I am spayed, vaccianted, de-wormed and tattooed. I am available to right family so please consider me!

Hi! My name is Gemma! I spent most of my life in a shelter in Mexico and some very nice people told me there may be a chance I could have a home of my very own if I came with them! So I did!! I'm about 6 years old and think I'm very pretty, don't you? My foster mamas think I have some Heeler features in me or some Cattle Dog and maybe even something called a Corgi? I just call me a Mexican Special! I absolutely love to play fetch with my favourite ball and tug of war with a tug toy! I love going for walks even though I am still learning leash manners. I like to be the top dog and have all the attention because I'm so smart and pretty! A home where I'm the only dog would be great, as I am still learning how to behave better around other dogs. I don't think I've met a cat yet, so not too sure how that would go. I'm a very sensitive lady and listen really well! My new mom or dad should love to spend time with me and be a strong leader for me so that I can be even a better dog! I want to please my people and love to learn! I love to cuddle and snuggle on the couch with my people! Or to curl up on my doggie bed near you with my favourite chew toy would be like heaven for me! I am really good at 'sit' but not so good at the 'stay' part, yet! My house manners are getting better everyday and I am getting crate trained too! Why wouldn't you love me?
Age : 6 years
Howdy, my name is Herman. I was found roaming the road lost and afraid. They tried to find my previous owners but they didn't want me. I love to snuggle and be around people so much. I don't understand why they didn't want me. I am a really great boy and love to be outside. I do need some work on my manners and kennel training but I learn fast I promise. I also CAN NOT go with cats, we just don't see eye to eye. I can be a really good companion. I am just looking for my furever home and someone to love me just as much as I can love you. Will You? I am neutuered, vaccianted, dewormed, and tattooed.
Age : 8 years
I'm Lilac and I came all the way from Saskatchewan where I was rescued off a reserve and then WHARF took me in. I am a pretty lucky girl to have been rescued before winter, it is hard enough scrounging for food in the summer let alone the winter and I have a nice warm home to sleep in. I am a really sweet girl and I get along great with everything, cats, dogs and people of all ages. I am good on the leash and will be good off leash once I get to know you. I am house and kennel trained and am learning my basics really quickly. I am spayed, vaccinated, de-wormed and tattooed. Please come and adopt me!!!
Age : 2 years
I'm Mitch and I'm as handsome and charming as they get! I think there may be some hound dog in me somewhere or a little ridgeback! But, I'm just so sweet! I am about 3.5 years old and I came from the same place as Gemma, Badger and Congo in Mexico. Like them, I've spent most of my life in a shelter. But all I really want is a soft bed and some loves and pets and a tasty treat once in a while. I'm a very cuddly guy who just wants to be near his person. I don't run and jump as much as my buddy, Congo as I am moving a little slower these days. But, I love a good chew toy and lap to cuddle with! My foster mamas have been teaching me some agility jumps and something called 'weaves'? I'm not very good yet but I'm having so much fun learning! I am good with other dogs and I love my buddy Congo! He follows me everywhere and I try to teach him everything I know! I am very good with my house manners and crate training has been easy for me to learn! I love to go for walks and am learning proper leash manners. It is much colder here than where I come from so I am loving my new parka! I have not met any cats yet, so I can't tell you what I think about them. If you want a loving, cuddly, handsome, low energy, smart and gentle dog, then I'm your guy!

Oliver Red
My name is Oliver Red and I am one handsome fella. I'm a little skinny but I will be back to my stunning self in no time. My home for the last month has been on a oil rig north of Whitecourt. The oil rig crew have been fantastic. They fed and cared for me daily. They don't know where I came from but I just wandered onto the well site. The crew was about the move off site because they were done there and sadly no one could take me home with them. I didn't want them to leave at all so I chased after one of the really nice ladies truck. I didn't want to be alone again. She ended up stopping because she couldn't leave me there. And that's how I became a member of WHARF. I have a lot of great qualities. Would you like to hear them? I am a very smart dog and love learning new things every day. I love people so much and couldn't imagine a life without a family. I get along amazing with all other animals. I am super playful and love to play with toys. I love long walks and going on adventures. I am amazing on leash and am house trained. I almost forgot there's one teensie weensie flaw that I have. I really enjoy jumping fences and talking my self for a leisurely stroll in the neighbourhood. So I definitely need a fairly high fence. That's minor though right? I'm really amazing and if you want to see for yourself just come and meet me! I am neutered, vaccinated, dewormed, and tattooed.
Age : 1 years
I'm Opal and I just came into care from a reserve in Saskatchewan. I was rescued off there as they are trying to save as many dogs as possible before it gets to cold. I was sent to WHARF and I love it here so far as they are helping me get a family. I'm not sure what to expect because I am pretty sure I have never had a family before. I am loving it indoors curled up on my bed, fresh water and lots of food. It is a change from living outside and I never want to go back to that. IO am great with all dogs and cats and little kids. My personality has not fully come out yet as I am still not settled in but so far everything is great. I am now spayed, vaccinated, de-wormed and tattooed and can't wait to meet my new family. Come and meet me!
Age : 2.5 years
My name is Roxane. I am one friendly happy little girl. I don't really know what happened or where my family went but I'm now a member of WHARF. Bylaw found me frolicking in the grass off of hwy 43. I was super duper excited to have people around me again when I was picked up. I sure do love attention. But lets get down to business. I am not excellent on the leash but I am working up to that. I do know my basic manners like sit and stay. I am stupendous with other dogs, cats and kids. Walks are where its at, there my favourite. I may be little but I have lots of energy. Exploring and adventures are also quite awesome. Maybe that's why I was found on the roads. Whoops. Anyways, I would really like to meet some new friends. Possibly get a new family out of it! I am spayed, vaccinated, dewormed, and tattooed.
Age :9 months
I'm Rusty and probably the cutest boy around. I have the sweetest face and funny ears and a perfect personality to go with this. I came in as a stray but you would never have thought as to how friendly I am. I love everyone and everything. I will be good with cats, kids and all other dogs. I am house and kennel trained, getting better on the leash and I am learning my basics and manners too. I am neutered, vaccinated, de-wormed and tattooed. Please come and adopt me!

Based on the memoir of Wadad Makdisi Cortas, A World I Loved premiered last summer as part of the Brighton Festival. Cortas' daughter, Mariam C. Said, and Redgrave adapted the work for the stage. It is presented Nov. 28-29 at 8 PM in the Miller Theatre.
Cortas' memoir details the changing physical, social and political landscape of Lebanon, as the country struggles under Western influence, civil wars and religious upheaval. She died in 1979. Said published the memoir in 2009.
Redgrave (Long Day's Journey Into Night, Driving Miss Daisy) is part of a cast that also features Cortas' granddaughter, Najla Said, as well as Nadim Sawalha, musicians Steven Bentley-Klein (violin), Sary Khalife (cello), Sofya Melikyan (piano) and the Spence Middle School Chorus.
It is billed as a "rich performance combining music, storytelling, choral singing and video projections."
"The work tells an important story about one of the most complex issues of our time from a very personal perspective," Public Theater artistic director Oskar Eustis said in an earlier statement. "This beautiful piece brings to life a world we all can love, one where art, education and music are essential bridges between communities, and where the desire for peace is given vibrant, human shape."
For tickets phone (212) 854-7799, or visit millertheatre.com. The Miller Theatre at Columbia University is located at 2960 Broadway at 116th Street.

U.S. Postal Service:
Postal and Telecommunications Sector Representation in International Organizations
GGD-99-6BR: Published: Oct 29, 1998. Publicly Released: Oct 29, 1998.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-4232
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO provided information on U.S. representation in two international organizations: (1) the Universal Postal Union (UPU); and (2) the International Telecommunications Union (ITU).
GAO noted that: (1) differences in the roles of government agencies in U.S. international policy development for the postal and telecommunications sectors were related to the agencies' roles and responsibilities as defined under the law; (2) some agencies had specific, legally defined postal or telecommunications responsibilities, while others had legally defined responsibilities that were not sector specific; (3) other involved government agencies did not have issue or sector-specific responsibilities; (4) in addition, the roles of private-sector participants in policy development differed between the two sectors; (5) in the telecommunications sector, in which private-sector participants are regulated by the Federal Communications Commission, participation in the U.S. international policy development was more formal; (6) in the postal sector, private-delivery companies are not regulated, and private-sector participation was more informal; (7) differences in legal requirements also contributed to differences in the formalization of the processes used to develop U.S. policies for international postal and telecommunications issues; (8) under the Federal Advisory Committee Act, the advisory committee was required to meet certain statutory requirements and documentation; (9) the process for developing U.S. policy for international postal issues was more informal, and generally involved holding ad hoc briefings with interested parties; (10) in the telecommunications sector, private service providers have been included as part of the U.S. delegations to both the supreme and permanent bodies, but this was not the case in the postal sector; (11) delegations to both the UPU and ITU supreme bodies generally included a head of delegation, deputy head(s), and members, but they differed in composition; (12) both international organizations have grappled with adapting their organizations' structures to the evolving competitive postal and telecommunications environments, which have seen rapid changes in the roles of public and private-service providers; (13) in the postal sector, the distinction between public- and private-service providers is becoming more blurred as several foreign postal administrations have recently acquired or developed partnerships with private delivery companies; and (14) the UPU is reviewing its organizational structure and is to consider proposals at the next UPU Congress that include a consultative status for international nongovernmental organizations.

Head of FBI's DC office announces retirement
Thursday - 10/18/2012, 1:12pm EDT
By ERIC TUCKER
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) - The head of the FBI's Washington field office is retiring after two years in that job and 25 years with the bureau.
James McJunkin told colleagues about his decision in an email Thursday.
The former Pennsylvania state trooper rose through the ranks of the FBI while developing an expertise in counterterrorism investigations. As assistant director of the counterterrorism division, McJunkin oversaw investigations into terrorism cases, violent crime and government corruption.
McJunkin joined the FBI as a special agent in 1987 and served in the San Antonio, Atlanta and Washington offices.

Jeffrey Zients joined the Obama administration in 2009 as deputy director for management and chief performance officer at OMB.
Jeffrey Zients, a former acting director of the Office of Management and Budget, is rejoining President Barack Obama's economic team as director of the National Economic Council. He will replace Gene Sperling, who has been in the post since 2011 and plans to leave at the end of this year.
Zients jointed the administration in 2009 as deputy director for management and chief performance officer at OMB. He is best known in the federal IT community for his plan to reform the way government acquires and uses technology, launched in conjunction with then-CIO Vivek Kundra. Among other things, the plan instituted the federal "cloud first" policy and launched TechStat, the precursor to the PortfolioStat reviews that grade the performance of federal agency and component CIOs.
As head of the National Economic Council, Zients will be charged with coordinating economic advice from various sources to the president, and tracking the implementation of economic policy. The post does not require confirmation by the Senate.
"Jeff has a sterling reputation as a business leader, and he earned the admiration and respect of everyone he worked with during his four years in leadership positions at the Office of Management and Budget," Obama said in a statement.
Before joining the administration, Zients was CEO and chairman of the Advisory Board Company and chairman of the Corporate Executive Board, two business consulting firms founded by entrepreneur David Bradley. He also served stints at consultancies Mercer and Bain.
Zients left the administration when current OMB Director Sylvia Mathews Burwell was confirmed in April of this year. Since then, he was worked as managing director of Portfolio Logic Management, a Washington, D.C., health care investment firm he founded.

Britney Spears Debuts New 'Femme Fatale' Album Cover
Spears tweeted the photo, which clearly resembles her 'Hold It Against Me' single cover. The album will officially drop on March 15.
"I've poured my heart and soul into this album over the last 2 years. I've put everything I have into it. This album is for you, my fans, who have always supported me and have stuck by me every step of the way! I love you all!" she wrote on Twitter. "Sexy and Strong. Dangerous yet mysterious. Cool yet confident!"
A few months ago, producer Sean Garrett told PopEater that he was busy working with Spears on the new album. Although he didn't dish all the juicy details, he said it's "going to be a hot ass album."
Spears "considers it to be her best album to date, true to where she is now personally and professionally," the press release continued.

Girl has drug rehab and lawyer fees to pay off. She will do what she always does, lip sync her way through each track, digitizing her voice to cover the fact she never was that good of a singer to begin with. Christina came up the same time and has had a more successful career.
