11 things you probably didn't know were in the National Defense Authorization Act of 2015
May 15th, 2014 | Congress Defense Uncategorized | Posted by Andy Medici
On May 8, the House Armed Services Committee voted on the National Defense Authorization Act of 2015 – about 15 minutes after midnight. The committee voted on hundreds of amendments and debated the legislation for more than 12 hours before finally passing it.
You have probably heard some of the highlights of whats in the bill, but here is a longer list of stuff that made it in that you might not have heard about.
Now remember, the bill still needs to be voted on by the full House and then by the Senate, so there are still changes that can happen. But as of right now, these items are in the legislation.
1. An extension of a spending cap on contract services through fiscal 2015 – which prevents the Defense Department from cutting civilian employees and transferring the work to contractors, according to amendment sponsor Rep. Colleen Hanabusa, R-Hawaii. The NDAA caps spending on contract services at fiscal 2010 levels.
2. Another provision forces DoD to eliminate any unauthorized personal services and contracts for any inherently governmental functions and reduce the spending on contractors for work close to being inherently governmental to "the maximum extent practicable."
3. A prohibition on DoD changing what can be sold in base exchanges and commissaries. Many lawmakers have proposed cuts to the commissary budget while others have pushed to limit sales of various items.
4 A rule requiring DoD to determine which of its workforces – military, civilian or contractor – would be most cost-effective when determining work assignments for non-critical mission areas.
5. The extension of a pilot program that allows whistleblowers to appeal cases from the Merit Systems Protection Board to any circuit court – instead of being restricted to the federal circuit court – for three more years.
6. The Defense Department would be exempt from energy efficiency measures and metering efforts identified in the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007. Currently DoD must reduce energy use in its domestic facilities and encourage energy efficiency efforts.
7. DoD cannot build a biofuel facility without Congressional approval. Some lawmakers are concerned DoD plans to purchase or refurbish a biofuel facility.
8. DoD must report on how much it costs to transport members of Congress on trips outside the United States.
9. A prohibition for DoD against purchasing biofuels except for testing purposes until the price per gallon is the same as traditional fuel. The Navy has been pushing biofuels as an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional fuel.
10. The NDAA reduces the number of enlisted aides that support general officers. Right now they are limited to 300, but the bill would reduce that number to 244.
11. The NDAA was actually renamed the "Howard P. 'Buck' McKeon National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal year 2015″ after the chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, who is stepping down at the end of the year.

Defense civilians get TSP Roth option today
June 25th, 2012 | Pay & Benefits | Posted by Stephen Losey
The Thrift Savings Plan's new Roth option opened up to civilian Defense Department employees today, the Air Force said.
Defense civilians can now elect to contribute all or parts of their TSP savings to the Roth option on an after-tax basis. The Air Force said that elections made on or before June 30 will be effective July 1, and will be reflected on employees' July 20 leave and earnings statement.
Under the Roth option, participants pay taxes when they make contributions into the TSP. Those contributions then grow over time, and are not taxed when they are withdrawn years later. This differs from the standard TSP plan, in which participants make their contributions tax-free and pay their taxes when the money is withdrawn. The plan is expected to primarily benefit military service members — who usually have lower tax rates during their service years — and select groups of civilian federal employees, such as judges. Most civilians would not benefit from the Roth option.
Agency automatic and matching contributions will be deposited as regular TSP contributions, which are tax-deferred.
The Defense Finance and Accounting Service's effort to roll out the Roth option has been complicated by the multiple, balkanized pay and personnel systems its customer agencies use. Marine Corps service members got the Roth option in June, and all other uniformed service members are expected to get it in October.

Were you demoted during NSPS transition?
February 22nd, 2012 | Pay & Benefits | Posted by Stephen Losey
Are you a Defense Department employee who was transferred into, and then out of, the now-defunct National Security Personnel System? Were you placed into a General Schedule grade that was lower than your original grade, or did your new GS grade not take into account a promotion you received under NSPS?
Federal Times would like to hear from you. E-mail me at firstname.lastname@example.com to talk. If you'd like to talk anonymously, that's fine.

Defense employee raps in Pizza Hut Super Bowl ad
February 3rd, 2012 | Defense | Posted by Stephen Losey
Keep an eye on the Super Bowl ads this Sunday, feds, because you might see one of your own. The Washington Post reports that David Johnson, a switchboard operator at the Defense Department, will be rapping about the joys of Pizza Hut pies in the company's 30-second spot.
Johnson won Pizza Hut's Top This! contest with a rap he wrote. Pizza Hut then flew him first-class to Santa Monica to record it over a track built from samples of the company's old "makin' it great!" jingle. I think my favorite line is, "It's not about the Benjamins/Just ten George Washingtons" — which one do you like?
And here's a short "making of" video showing Johnson recording in the studio and on the soundstage filming the ad.

Taps for the National Security Personnel System
December 28th, 2011 | Defense OPM | Posted by Sean Reilly
As of this Sunday, the National Security Personnel System is officially defunct.
In a Federal Register notice published today, the Office of Personnel Management and the Defense Department report that they are repealing the regulations accompanying the controversial pay-for-performance system effective Jan. 1. The repeal is basically just housekeeping; the 2010 National Defense Authorization Act ended the legal authority for the NSPS and declared that any existing regs would be toast by the beginning of 2012.
Should anyone need a refresher on what the very long-running flap was about, incidentally, this Federal Times article offers a good recap.

DoD launches IT exchange program
July 8th, 2011 | Uncategorized | Posted by Nicole Johnson
The Defense Department has launched its Information Technology Exchange Program to share IT civilian employees with the private sector.
The personnel assignments will range from three months to a year and focus on sharing best practices and expertise on cloud and mobile computing, infrastructure management and cybersecurity, according to a July 1 announcement.
Private sector participants will work with the chief information officer, Joint Staff, U.S. Cyber Command, the National Security Agency and other departments. Workers must be US citizens, be equivalent to a grade level 11, and lending organizations will pay the salaries of their workers. Secrete clearance is required, but top secret is preferred.
Interested companies should send an email with their name, company, email address and phone number to email@example.com. Federal Times would like to hear from potential applicants. Please contact Nicole Johnson at 703-750-8145 or email@example.com
DoD cancels plans to move DISA to U.S. Cyber Command
July 8th, 2011 | Uncategorized | Posted by Nicole Johnson
The Defense Information Systems Agency will not move to U.S. Cyber Command, following concerns of major policy, operational and practical challenges, former Defense Secretary Robert Gates said in an undated memo.
After reviewing the Cost Assessment and Program Evaluation Gates said he recognizes that shifting DISA to U.S. Cyber Command is no longer "a viable approach."
As part of Gates' push to eliminate billions in spending, he directed Chief Information Officer Teri Takai to shutter the Pentagon's Networks and Information Integration by Sept. 30.
The portion of NII responsible for major automated information system acquisition oversight and command and control will transfer to Office of the Under Secretary of Acquisition, Technology and Logistics. The move will create a smaller but strengthened CIO office that has a strong relationship with DISA and Cyber Command, Gates said.

AFGE takes its ball, goes home
March 15th, 2011 | Unions | Posted by Stephen Losey
UPDATE BELOW: Citing alleged "union busting" activities at a Nebraska Air Force base, the American Federation of Government Employees said Tuesday it is pulling out of Defense Department talks to design a new performance appraisal system.
AFGE objects to Offutt Air Force Base's refusal to allow registered nurse Julie Sheehan to attend the design team meetings in Washington. AFGE said the base's refusal is retaliation for her successful organizing and collective bargaining efforts. Sheehan is vice president of AFGE Local 1486 at Offutt.
AFGE said Sheehan attended an initial labor-management meeting in Los Angeles last September, and attended the first round of meetings in Washington last month. But AFGE said Offutt is refusing to let Sheehan attend further meetings. AFGE said the base's supervisors have accused Sheehan of poor performance and placed her on a performance improvement plan — which they called "trumped-up charges" — though they said she has consistently received top performance ratings.
"They are targeting this employee to discourage union membership," said Don Hale, president of AFGE's Defense Conference. "This is nothing less than union busting, and we won't stand for it. We are pulling out of the design team, and the Air Force Command and DoD's senior leaders can explain it to Congress."
Hale said AFGE will return to the personnel system discussions — which also aim to design new hiring flexibilities and work-force incentives such as bonuses — if Offutt allows Sheehan to participate and drops its claims of poor performance.
Offutt spokespeople were unavailable for comment.
UPDATE: The Pentagon issued this statement Wednesday morning regarding AFGE's pullout:
The Department of Defense recognizes and respects the right of the union leadership to select the bargaining unit representatives they believe are best suited to serve on the design teams for the National Defense Authorization Act 2010 personnel initiatives. Unfortunately, a significant workload requirement precluded management from releasing one of the selected individuals. We have provided the union leadership the opportunity to select an alternate for this very important initiative. This option is strongly encouraged in view of the workload considerations of the previously selected individual.
The NDAA 2010 personnel initiatives present the Department with both a tremendous challenge and opportunity. In crafting the new authorities, our goal has always been to assure broad based participation. AFGE is one of several unions participating in the design and development process. As we proceed, we will continue efforts to assure the union perspective is fully considered.
Contract confusion
September 27th, 2010 | Defense General Services Administration NASA | Posted by Sean Reilly
A little fuzzy on the distinctions between various types of federal contracts?
Don't feel bad, because some federal contracting officers are, too, according to a Federal Register notice published today.
In a jointly filed proposed rule, the Defense Department, NASA and the General Services Administration indicate that they are trying to correct the mistaken impression among contracting officers "governmentwide" that the fixed labor rates in time-and-materials/labor-hour contracts make them "fixed-price type contracts."
In fact, as the Government Accountability Office reported last year, time and materials contracts are considered high-risk because the contractor's profit hinges on the number of hours worked.

Bulk of BTA workforce comes from contractors
September 14th, 2010 | Defense Government reform | Posted by Sean Reilly
Almost two-thirds of the workforce at the Business Transformation Agency, a Pentagon shop slated for the chopping block, is made up of contract employees, according to figures obtained by Federal Times under the Freedom of Information Act.
Of 1,124 workers, 725 are contractors, 375 are civilian and 24 are military personnel, the figures show. In announcing his decision to close BTA within the next year, Defense Secretary Robert Gates said last month that the agency employed "approximately 360 people." Gates was apparently referring only to government civilian employees.
Federal Times filed the FOIA request after repeated attempts to obtain the workforce information from Gates' office went unanswered. So far, no response from a Pentagon spokeswoman this afternoon on the contractor ratio.
Although BTA was created several years ago to modernize DoD's business practices, Gates said at the Aug. 9 news conference that its focus had shifted more "to day-to-day oversight of individual acquisition programs, a function that can be performed by a number of other organizations."

There's a very happy retired French teacher and tennis coach in California today. Her name is Jane Roberts. In 2002, after the Bush administration blocked $34 million Congress had approved for the United States contribution to the United Nations Population Fund, known commonly as Unfpa, she co-founded 34 Million Friends, a group trying to fill the gap $1 at a time. She wrote a book on women and human welfare, as well.
On Friday, President Obama pledged to restore that money while also signing an order reversing another move by the Bush administration that banned American government aid for family-planning organizations that, in part, promoted or conducted abortions.
I spoke with Ms. Roberts last fall about population, women and human welfare and got in touch again after the news out of the White House. Her statement reacting to Mr. Obama's action is below. You can also hear Odetta singing a song crafted from a poem Ms. Roberts wrote about family planning, maternal welfare and human progress. Here's a short video in which Ms. Roberts describes her campaign.

are common, and along with peripheral vascular disease, can result in damage to lower extremities (e.g., ulcers, infections) that necessitates amputations. Infection rates are higher, as are periodontal disease rates. Women with type 1 diabetes who become pregnant may see a worsening of any existing eye or kidney damage, and they are at increased risk of spontaneous abortion, preterm delivery, and birth defects.
The financial cost of type 1 diabetes is high. People with this disease are more likely to experience work disability, and they make greater than average use of health care services. A 1988 paper estimated treatment cost for a patient through age 40 at $40,000 (LaPorte et al., 1995). Health expenses and office visits for diabetics exceed those of nondiabetics.7 For example, the estimated annual cost of physician visits for a diabetic was nearly twice that for a nondiabetic ($1,045 versus $554). Costs of prescriptions and medical supplies are over five times as expensive for diabetics as for nondiabetics ($1,056 versus $201). Increased costs in overall health expenses also affect diabetics far more than nondiabetics ($11,157 versus $2,604 annually) (Javitt and Chiang, 1995).
Allergic disorders—including asthma, rhinitis, and dermatitis—are the sixth most common chronic disease in the United States. Together, they result in $18 billion in health care costs annually (AAAAI, 2000). For this report the committee focused on asthma.
A serious allergic disease, asthma was estimated to have affected 14.6 million adults in 2000 (CDC, 2001b) and about 4 million children in 1998 (CDC, 2001a). The prevalence rates of self-reported asthma appear to have increased overall by 74 percent between 1980 and 1994 (Mannino et al., 1998). For children age 0 to 4 years, rates increased by 159 percent during this period (from 22.0 per 1,000 to 57.4 per 1,000). Increases in asthma prevalence were seen in all race, sex, age, and regional groups. The reasons for the increasing prevalence are unclear, although changes in environmental or behavioral factors are considered likely (IOM, 2000).
Symptoms of asthma include shortness of breath, coughing, wheezing, and chest tightness. Some people experience these symptoms only occasionally, but in the most severe cases, symptoms are continuous. Even when the general level of disease is mild or moderate, individual episodes can be severe and may require hospital or emergency department care. Without proper treatment, severe episodes can be life-threatening. Management of the disease includes limiting exposure to environmental triggers (e.g., allergens, tobacco smoke, exercise, viral infections) and appropriate use of medications in response to the underlying level of symptoms and any acute changes. Daily use of medications may be

hey hows it goin?

[ whispers no you people should've forgotten about me by now omfg but yes hello friend <3 ]
And he tried, he honestly tried to keep his tongue from sharpening and the venom from dripping.
"No," came the defeated,
exhausted tone as he slumped ever so slightly.
"I would rather keep this to myself."
Raising an eyebrow, he remained still for a while—
Before understanding the other would not speak of it.
"Fine with me, my friend."
A warm smile was given, a light shrug of the shoulders before he gave the other's neck a light rub.
He leaned into the touch and his eyes slipped close.
He remained wound up like a tense coil, however. There was simply too much bubbling beneath his skin.
"I know," he replied evenly, "-but I cannot help it. Every word sinks in like a barb"
Licking his lips once, he looked to the side for a second, though his hands never left the other's neck, lightly massaging the skin for a second.
"Sounds fair enough to me."
Glancing up with a faint smile, he studied the other's face.
"No chance to tell me of it, either?"
"Touched as I may be, I do not need your help in protecting my own pride."
"Of course, didn't mean to offend you. You know this…"
He sighed, closing his eyes for a second before resting a hand to the other's hair, very lightly playing with the hair at the base of his neck.
"I'm afraid I am not the best company at the moment," he said in a low tone.
Twirling his Hat once, he finally places it down on the table.
"I notice that, do tell. Who needs to have a good beating for getting you in this foul mood, hm?"
"You seem to have missed the door you were looking for, I am accepting no visitors —"
An overly dramatic sigh escaped his lips.
"Do you absolutely need my intelligence to balance out your stupidity?
Or so help me I will fill your body with holes."
"Ooohhh… And here I thought I was welcome!"
A cheerful grin, a cheeky glint in his eyes.
"Shall I then take my leave once more, oh Loki, my tricky friend!"
Though Belle wasn't an expert on elevators, she looked at all the buttons curiously. There were too many, and some in different colors - and Belle had no idea what some of these buttons were supposed to do.
After examining them for a minute, she found the button to close the door, and it slid closed with quite some noise, making Belle jump a little before she pushed the button to descend towards the caves.
As the elevator set in motion, some more loud creaking noises could be heard and Belle looked around suspiciously, feeling a little uncomfortable.
"For an elevator that has been checked, it makes quite a few unhealthy noises," she remarked.
Stirring for a second, the man glanced around the elevator, narrowing his eyes and slowly shaking his head. "No…" he commented, looking back to Belle. "I don't think it's supposed to make that noise… Are you certain Rumplestiltskin checked this thing?"
Giving a huff, he closed his eyes for a second before shrugging his nervousity down. It would do them no good.
"Nevertheless… It's going down."
She smiled at his frown, so adorable even if he would hate to be called as such, so worried about having offended her with his speech about the other girls being too girly, especially now that she was clearly hiding because already upset… And he had came looking for her. That was worth the world for her. "You are making more sense than the usual…" she reassured him, her smile growing a little wider at his compliment. "Thank you."
What was he saying? She had nothing brilliant, she was crying over a guy that had left her almost ten years before, it was ridiculous and there was nothing wonderful in it. But he spoke with so much determination about how great she was, that he made her feel better, even just a little. "I think you are wrong… but thank you for saying it anyway," she murmured, because there was only one man she was interested in, the same man she had worn that stupid dress and made her hair pretty for, the one that was now hugging her telling her that one day she'd find love. With someone else. Hardly. "I'll never understand why you… and Grace too, have always been so nice to me… from the beginning. But I don't know what I'd do without you, Jefferson." She tried to smile, even with the tears that were still threatening to spill again. "You always make me happy."
She looked away at his question, for how much she could with his hands cupping her cheeks, "I think you already know the real story, actually. You hate him a little too much. I can tell. Everyone else thinks he simply broke up with him, apart from Grace. How much did she tell you?"
"More sense even. Dear lord, i'm losing my touch!" he exclaimed, eyes wide as he stared down at her before finally winking once to show he was merely jesting with her. It was a relief to hear that he had helped her. One way or another. That was all he wished for, after all. To see the smile back upon her face. Dear Goddess, Jefferson… If you like her so much, why don't you just kiss the girl and show her how much you love her? How hard can it possibly be?
Well… Harder than he thought…
"Wrong? You cannot possibly be serious, knowing me. I am never wrong!" he scolded her, pinching her nose once before giving a light smile. "I have been nice to you because I like you. You are… Like a brilliant sun, shining down and—" he cut himself off, clearing his throat and lowering his eyes for a second. "I mean… Right. I.. You always tend to make me happy too. You n eed to give me your secret to that." he spoke quickly, glancing back at her with a huge smile before frowning a bit. He had heard the story. Had he heard the correct story? Were there some things he had missed? Remaining silent for a long while, he finally settled his gaze upon her, lips curving up for a second. "Was I so obvious?" he finally spoke before folding his arms over his chest.
"She told me… Quite a lot. But I want to hear it from your point of view now, Em.." he finally spoke softly; giving her a look. "…. And I want you to know. He made the gravest mistake ever. By letting go of you."

This new version of VLC brings :It's free and open source and in the App Store here. You can watch a video hands-on below:
- Runs on the iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS, and the recent iPod touches
- You can now delete files from the application, without having to go through iTunes
- Many more extensions are being recognized.
- Much faster decoding thanks to assembly optimizations
Via: App Store | News Archive | Tags: Apple, iPhone, ipod touch, video, ipad
I have been messing around with an Android app "VLC stream and convert" lately. It gives me the ability to stream video files to my phone over 3g, which is great for anyone with a video collection too large for a phones capacity. Not sure if there is an apple counterpart, but definitely something to check out.
Not sure if there would be other benefits for you, but VLC plays just about everything. It's my preferred media player on Linux - despite mplayer also being damned good.
FINALLY...Apple must lag behind i am starting to get frustrated all my other friends have that and more and All i can do with my iPhone is dumb apps....well how is battery time and multitasking with VLC??
I have used the VLC media player for quite sometime, and find it drains as much as the Youtube app. It really is a hassle to use VLC on IOS though. I would definitely suggest trying out DISH Network's Remote Access app. I am an employee for them, and I have been using it to stream all of my DVR recordings and live TV. Super easy to set up and the app is free. Definitely check it out.

There are those casual days when you don't wanna wear a sportcoat, but you feel to naked just wearing a shirt. A great alternative is the Valstarino blouson by Italian brand Valstar. The design is somewhat similar to a varsity jacket, but it feels more sophisticated and wearable.
There loads of different designs that you can choose from, you can even customize your own Valstarino blouson using their website. In my opinion you should go with something subtle, brown is always a great choice.

Official Silent Hill Novel (In Progress)
Though he'd been forced to spend another four precious bullets on a dog on the way, Harry somehow managed to make it to Midwich Elementary in one piece. He burst open the front doors, inching into the lobby with a flashlight in one hand and a readied pistol in the other. He heard nothing in the darkened building but the soft shaking of his own hands. No signs of any monsters for now. Those heavy wooden doors seemed more than sturdy enough to keep the dogs from breaking in."Cheryl?" He yelled into the darkness. His echoed voice was the only reply. "Cheryl, where are you?"

text: Seeing Stars : Ruth Rabinowitz believes. She believes that her daughter, Bethany, is a terrific little actress, so they have come to Hollywood, where dreams come true. Ruth's husband and Bethany's father, who thinks their quest for stardom is delusional, has been left behind in Seattle. Joining Bethany Rabinowitz in Hollywood's often toxic waters are fellow child actors Quinn Reilly, who has been cast adrift by his family and excels only on Hollywood sets; beautiful Allison Addison, who is misled by her powerful need for love; and Laurel Buehl, who brings a desperate secret to LA that makes the stakes impossibly high. As talent managers, agents, coaches, directors, and teachers nurture - and feed on - their ambitions, stars will be made, hearts will be broken, children will grow up, and dreams will both be realized and die.

Cakes Fit for a King: King Cake is the pastry du jour as Carnival, the Mardi Gras celebration, gets underway. Bakeries in New Orleans are churning out the sugary confections that have some sort of trinket, usually a small plastic baby, hidden inside their delicious crumb. The reveler lucky enough to bite into the small doll is bound by tradition to host the Carnival party the next year. So if you're planning to enjoy one of these pastries in the near future, be careful: you may have your cake and have to make the next one, too.

Preview app and scroll wheels
My solution to the problem was to download "JustLooking 3.2", a free Mac Image Viewer. In the Preferences you can choose to make the mouse wheel "Move to next or previous image". Now I can open just 1 image in a directory, then use the scroll wheel to move to the next/previous images in that directory. This is just like the functionality of IrfanView for Windows (I switched to Mac and will never look back!).

The Holidays In Viral Video
by Mallory Russell on Dec 30, 2:00 PM
2013 turned out to be a banner year for video content marketing. Never before have we seen so many branded videos reach 20 million, 30 million, 40 million and 50 million views. And never before have videos reached those levels of viewership so quickly. The rate and consistency of viewership in 2013 shows how brands have not only embraced the medium, but also how they have a firm grasp of how to engage audiences.

Harnessing Cloud Flexibility For B2b Engagement
by Herb Mitschele on Dec 26, 12:20 PM
It was said that 2013 would be the "Year of the Cloud," with an increase in the number of companies adopting B2C cloud computing strategies for video and other creative content. And we've seen that prediction hold true. The most successful and innovative media companies and corporations are taking advantage of the cloud's flexible nature for storing and sharing creative content, pushing content to traditional and mobile online platforms, harnessing online data points to track behavioral trends and real-time analytics, and tracking endless amounts of social media conversation statistics.

It's Time To Stop Casually Throwing Around The Word 'Viral'
by Rob Kurfehs on Dec 23, 2:13 PM
As brand and agency folk, it's easy for us to get all doe-eyed at the prospect of that next campaign spreading like wildfire and getting a billion YouTube views. We all have that underlying urge to attain our 15 minutes of Internet fame. We all want to tap into the mysterious power that animals, babies, and Asian pop sensations seem to naturally possess. But we're missing the point.

Getting Started In Video Production
by Danny Groner on Dec 20, 1:45 PM
As the Web has wholeheartedly embraced video for both content and advertising, more small-business owners are looking to make their mark here. But that can be easier said than done for some, particularly those who have limited to no experience working with video. Many will opt to hire video editors or video platforms to run that side of their campaigns, while others will choose to keep these efforts in-house. The former can be pricey, depending on the situation. For those looking to keep the budget down a bit, learning these digital skills yourself can be the best option.

For Film Studios, Content Is No Longer King
by Shahid Khan on Dec 18, 4:53 PM
Traditionally, with a new year on the horizon, the major U.S. movie studios renew their passion for winning Oscars. As 2014 dawns, Warner Bros. is gung-ho over "Gravity," for example, while Universal is pinning its hopes on Ron Howard's "Rush." But those two studios have much more than film content on their minds these days. For 2014 will also mark the first full year when Warner and Universal are totally under the control of those who have been focused on distribution, not production. While production is obviously key to having great content to distribute, these days, the message from Time ...

Millennials Watch Digital Video, Still Hard To Reach With Ads
by Daisy Whitney on Dec 17, 3:00 PM
Young people are more digitally savvy right? They watch more video, play more games and spend more time in front of their screens, don't they? By and large, the answer is yes. And while logic would dictate that reaching them via digital venues is a slam-dunk, that's not actually the case. Millennials might watch more videos, but they are also more distracted while watching, meaning marketers have to work harder when it comes to brand recall and persuasion, according to a recent study from ad platform YuMe and IPG Media Lab.

Indianapolis, IN - The Indiana State Police Department is responsible for issuing licenses to carry a handgun to citizens of Indiana that request a license. The Department is required to issue or deny the request - stating the denial cause - within 60 days from the time an application is submitted. Efforts to meet the time frame requirement have not been met due to a significant rise in the number of requests for handgun licenses. This is attributable to the number of shootings across the country, coupled with national news stories debating more restrictive gun laws.
Historically, applications received for a license to carry a handgun averaged around 5,200 per month, but increased dramatically toward the end of 2012. January of 2013 resulted in more than 23,000 application requests being submitted to the state police. The level of demand has marginally decreased in the months that followed, falling to just over 6,500 new license requests in June. However, the overall monthly increase has led to a substantial backlog in applications, pushing processing time to more than 110 days.
The Chamber will host Scot Goskowicz, a business counselor from the Fort Wayne Small Business Development Center, on July 17.

SBDC offers assistance with marketing demographics, funding options, business and succession planning, growing ideas, setting goals, identifying resources, pursuing opportunities, and overcoming challenges in your business.

The Chamber Membership Committee, under the direction of Rachel Cruz (Wabash County REMC), was pleased to announce its new Chamber Ambassadors Program at the June 12 Business Before Hours. Five members were inducted as ambassadors, who will serve as the personal connectors between members and the Chamber Board of Directors.
On Feb. 6, the Beauchamp & McSpadden Board of Directors named W. Parker Beauchamp as the company's new president. Parker is a fourth- generation family member of the Wabash-head quartered insurance firm. The business was founded in 1872, and was purchased in 1927 by Parker's great- grandfather, Ward Beauchamp. Ward's son, Bob Beauchamp, Sr., joined his father at work in 1938, followed by Bob's eldest son, Robert W. Beauchamp, in 1963.

Barr managing director Neil Paviour-Smith has been reflecting
carefully on events of the past few days and believes some
lessons have been learned from the Credit Sails agreement
announced on Tuesday.
Details of a deal under which the Dunedin City Council will
spend $750,000 a year to subsidise greater community use of
the Forsyth Barr Stadium have been confirmed.
How would you like to walk your dog, graze your sheep, or
stroll across the roof of Forsyth Barr Stadium?
Horses, clowns and heavy machinery were let loose as Forsyth
Barr Stadium in Dunedin was transformed into an indoor rodeo
arena for the first time yesterday.
Dunedin could face multimillion-dollar competition from New
Zealand's largest cities if it opts for a new events fund to
lure more big acts to Forsyth Barr Stadium.
Dunedin City Council staff have some reading to do after a
late rush of public suggestions on ways to make the most of
Forsyth Barr Stadium.
More than 400 people have had their say on the future use of
Forsyth Barr Stadium as a deadline for public input
There were tackles, kicks, tries and goals on the Forsyth
Barr Stadium pitch yesterday afternoon, but not a paid
athlete in sight.
Business owners in Dunedin have been floored by the idea of a
new targeted rate for the hospitality sector to help rescue
Forsyth Barr Stadium from its financial hole.
Ratepayers could be asked to reach into their pockets again,
or the city's bars and restaurants could be slapped with a
new targeted rate, as the Dunedin City Council grapples with
a $3.2 million loss from Forsyth Barr Stadium.
