The Air Force is in the process of transforming its force to meet today's new and emerging threats. Its "Future Total Force" concept is intended to maximize future capabilities by integrating its active, National Guard, and reserve components to a greater degree. While the Air Force was making force structure decisions and developing its 20-year plan, the Air National Guard embarked on its own "Vanguard" transformation initiative to ensure its role and relevance in the new Air Force. This report discusses (1) the processes and events that surrounded the Air Force's development of its 20-year force structure plan, including the involvement of key stakeholders and the development of the Guard's Vanguard initiative, and (2) the extent to which the Air Force is utilizing key results-oriented management tools to guide its effort to identify new missions for the Air National Guard and integrate active and Guard forces as part of its Future Total Force effort.
The Air Force used an iterative process to develop its 20-year force structure plan with periodic review and oversight by senior-level Department of Defense (DOD) and Air Force officials; however, stakeholders have different views on the extent to which the Air Force sought and addressed input from process participants. The plan included a reduction in the legacy fighter fleet--residing largely within the Air National Guard--and the acquisition of new aircraft such as the F/A-22 and the Joint Strike Fighter. In late 2004, a departmentwide shift in funding priorities reduced the number of F/A-22 aircraft to be acquired and resulted in changes to the Air Force's plan. Perspectives on how well this process worked vary depending on the role and level of involvement of each organization. For example, Air Force Air Staff officials viewed the process as fully participatory and noted that the Air National Guard Bureau and the Air Force's major commands had direct representation on the force structure development team. In contrast, Air National Guard officials expressed concerns about their ability to influence decisions and 7 of the 10 adjutants general whom GAO contacted believed that they did not have sufficient opportunity to influence the decisions. Because documentation of the proceedings of key meetings was limited, GAO was unable to evaluate the extent to which stakeholders influenced the process. During the same period, the Air National Guard began a separate effort--the Vanguard Engagement Strategy--to solicit input from the states on future roles and missions for the Guard and to prepare its units to respond to anticipated force structure reductions. The Air Force has taken steps to identify new missions for the Air National Guard and test ways to integrate the active, Guard, and reserve components as part of its Future Total Force transformation, but it has not fully developed a management framework to guide its efforts or a plan to evaluate its progress. In December 2004, the Air Force announced initiatives for six states to test its transformation concepts. In March 2005, the Air Force established a new directorate to guide implementation of the Future Total Force concept. The new directorate has taken steps to identify new missions and implement new constructs to integrate components. As GAO has previously reported, organizations undergoing transformation increase their likelihood of success if they adopt a results-oriented management framework to guide their efforts. Although the directorate has drafted a strategic plan that directorate officials said includes such tools, as of November 2005, the plan had not been approved and there is no requirement that it be used to guide implementation efforts. Moreover, while the Air Force has some metrics to use in evaluating its test initiatives, it has not developed a comprehensive evaluation plan to measure results. By moving ahead to implement the Future Total Force concept without such a framework and evaluation plan, the Air Force may be unable to successfully transform its culture, evaluate initiatives and program results, determine the most cost effective mix of active and reserve forces, and ensure transparency of the implementation process.
Recommendations for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: The Air Force Future Total Force Directorate has developed a strategic plan to guide the implementation of the Future Total Force transformation process which contains many of the key management tools we described in our report.
Recommendation: To establish a results-oriented management framework that can be used to guide the implementation of the Future Total Force transformation process, measure effectiveness and overall results, and clearly communicate plans for implementing and evaluating the concept to all key stakeholders and decision makers within the Air Force and DOD, the Secretary of Defense should direct the Secretary of the Air Force to require the Future Total Force Directorate to fully develop a comprehensive, results-oriented management framework to guide the Future Total Force transformation effort and measure overall results. Specifically, the management framework should include a strategic plan that contains, but is not limited to long-term goals and objectives, strategies to be used to accomplish goals, performance goals, performance criteria for measuring progress, and evaluation and corrective action plans.
Agency Affected: Department of Defense
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: In response to our recommendation, the Air Force accelerated finalizing its Future Total Force Strategic Plan and approved the plan on December 16, 2005.
Recommendation: To establish a results-oriented management framework that can be used to guide the implementation of the Future Total Force transformation process, measure effectiveness and overall results, and clearly communicate plans for implementing and evaluating the concept to all key stakeholders and decision makers within the Air Force and DOD, the Secretary of Defense should direct the Secretary of the Air Force to set a specific time frame to accelerate the approval of the Future Total Force Directorate's strategic plan.
Agency Affected: Department of Defense
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: In response to GAO's recommendation, the Air Force has taken two actions. In June 2006, it published Air Force Policy Directive 90-10 which established the policy for implementing initiatives integrating the Regular Air Force and the Air Reserve Components of the Air Force as part of the Total Force Integration concept (the new name of the Future Total Force). The policy directive directed the major commands to develop metrics for evaluating whether integration initiatives are creating the desired effects. Subsequently, in May 2007, the Air Force issued Air Force Instruction 90-1001, which outlines responsibilities for Total Force Integration. The instruction codifies the development of metrics and reinforces the Defense Readiness Reporting System (DRRS) requirement to provide measures of a unit's capability to be reported a minimum of every 30 days. In addition, the Air Force instruction also tasked the units to track, at a minimum, crew ratios, dwell times, absorption rates, utilization rates, operational tempo, personnel tempo, quality of life indicators, and training success rates. These non-DRRS indicators are to be captured by the units and forwarded to their respective major commands and/or the National Guard Bureau for inclusion in the Total Force Integration Tracking Tool database. Additionally, the Air Force intends to continue to fine-tune the measures collected on integration initiatives as new initiatives are developed. GAO believes that these steps respond to the intent of our recommendation.
Recommendation: Further, to establish a clear understanding of the approach and mechanisms to be used to evaluate the Future Total Force initiatives to test new organizational constructs, the Secretary of Defense should direct the Secretary of the Air Force to establish a stand-alone, comprehensive, and clearly articulated plan for evaluating the Future Total Force test initiatives to measure results, identify and apply lessons learned, and build on current efforts to increase the transparency of the process for Air Force and DOD decision makers and outside organizations.

The Los Angeles Angels had an even better May than April as they continue erasing the demons of 2012 and 2013. Here is the Angels' May progress report.
Building on a Successful April
Coming into last season, the first goal was to get off to a good start. That goal was not met. Going into this season, the initial objective was the same.
This time the team came through.
It wasn't fantastic, but doable. The Angels went 10-10 in their first 20 games, a start that might have given them the division title in 2012. By the end of the month, the team completed its first above-.500 April since 2011.
Signs pointed to a much better season. The offense was rolling. The starting pitching was consistent. The defense was vastly improved. The only blemish was the ninth inning, where the bullpen (Ernesto Frieri) seemed to fall off a cliff.
At one point in May, the Angels were top five in fewest runs allowed in innings one through eight, but allowed the most runs in the ninth.
Even that has changed. All that's really left now is a long winning streak, one that could catapult the Angels forward towards October.
Some Stats for the Month of May
Offense (AL rank in parentheses)
- Batting Average: .255 (8th)
- On Base Percentage: .325 (6th)
- Slugging Percentage: .400 (8th)
- OPS: .724 (6th)
- Runs: 115 (10th)
- Hits: 242 (10th)
- Doubles: 52 (4th)
- Triples: 8 (1st)
- Homeruns: 23 (9th)
- Extra Base Hits: 83 (6th)
- Stolen Bases: 15 (9th)
- Sacrifice Bunts: 5 (7th)
- Sacrifice Flies: 10 (3rd)
- ERA: 3.98 (11th)
- WHIP: 1.22 (3rd)
- SO: 221 (5th)
- Batting Average Against: .232 (2nd)
- Runs Allowed: 264 (5th)
The Return of the Role Players
This is my favorite part. Role players were huge in thrusting the Angels to the top of the AL West from 2004 through 2009. Despite where their minor league system ranks, the Halos have a lot of young players under their control contributing now. The brightest spot might be 2011 First Round pick CJ Cron. Cron hit .301 / .328 / .548 in 11 games after being called up.
Other Angels role players who excelled in May include the following…
Collin Cowgill: .284 / .370 / .346
Grant Green: .361 / .375 / .475
Efren Navarro: .310 / .375 / .483
This one of the key ingredients that goes into a playoff team.
Night and Day
Albert Pujols torched the baseball in April, hitting nine homeruns, seven doubles, driving in 23 RBI, and hitting .279 / .341 / .586.
In May, Albert cooled off a bit, hitting .234 / .293 / .349.
It's a long slump, but the good news is that Pujols gave himself a cushion that allows a bigger window to bring his numbers back up than in the last two seasons, especially 2012.
One positive trend emerging, however, is the number of productive role players stepping up with Josh Hamilton out for 8 weeks. This takes pressure off Pujols and Hamilton to have big years for the Halos to compete.
Personally, I think it's more important for Mike Trout to have a big year. He's the centerpiece now.
Looking Ahead to June
The Angels are playing good, consistent baseball. They've had a steady diet of two and three game winning streaks, mixed with a few two game losing streaks, but not one losing streak of more than three.
People thought going into the season that the Angels weren't going to have the pitching to compete. Their offense would need to slug their way to the playoffs. That was mostly based on what happened in 2013, a different season. There was also much uncertainty going with such a young starting rotation, but that rotation has been one of the team's brightest spots.
The Halos need to keep doing what they're doing. Trout just needs to be Trout. Josh Hamilton is back. Albert Pujols is in a slump, but he'll come out of it. Garrett Richards has been a hidden gem. Joe Smith has bridged a big gap in the bullpen.
This is an overall much better team than the last few seasons.
There is something the Angels still haven't fully remedied: performing against their own division. The A's have had the Angels' number so far this season. The Halos are doing well overall against the other three teams. But they need to get it going against the A's.
The Angels are playing great against the AL Central, AL East, and in interleague play. But they're underperforming against their own division. With that being said, if the Angels play at least .500 ball against their own division, they will be bound for October baseball.
Next up they'll face the Braves. You can grab Angels vs. Braves tickets from Front Row Seats.
Facts and Figures
- The Angels have not come to an agreement with left-hander Sean Newcomb or right-hander Joe Gatto, their two top picks from the 2014 First-Year Player Draft.
- If Angels fans are concerned their team won't catch up to the A's, just know that the both teams have been back and forth for years. One example is September 2012, when the Halos went into Oakland and swept the A's, and then lost 2 out of 3 against the A's a week later at home. Things can change at any time in this game.
- Another example, but a different team, is the 2012 Texas Rangers. The Angels won 7 of the first 10 meetings between the two clubs, and then Texas won 6 of the remaining 9. That's baseball.

The Adventures Of Priscilla Queen Of The Desert
In an effort to escape a life of unappreciation, Mitzi/Tick enlists two other fellow escapees/showgirls to form a travelling show that offers to wow the unsuspecting Aussie Outback inhabitants.
Priscilla is not the heroine of a Rider Haggard adventure but the pink bus in which a trio of female impersonators from Sydney make their eventful, fraught and heavily rouged way across Oz's red desert to a cabaret engagement in Alice Springs. And a wild ride it proves to be, in this tuneful, camp odyssey notable for its performances - including a sensational one from Terence Stamp as transsexual Bernadette-formerly Ralph - and delirious design excess.
Mitzi/Tick (Weaving, both touching and ugly as sin) is an unappreciated artist nursing a secret and in need of a change of scene. He/she organises the remote booking and enlists Felicia/Adam (Pearce binning his Neighbours hearthrob image as the petulant, reckless one) and old friend Bernadette, recently widowed and depressed, to make up the miming "showgirl" act. And so they set off with hearts full of hope to outrage, bewilder, seduce or provoke a variety of outback provincials and aborigines in a string of fantastically frocked mini-dramas.
Writer-director Stephan Elliott's film is not always as funny as it thinks it is, and the mix of musical road comedy with more low-key insights into the cross-dressing life doesn't entirely come off either. Stamp, though, is especially successful, twisting from wistful to hideous to charming, ever sardonic and always ladylike. Those who find men in feathers inherently divine will have a high old time here, and there are enough hilarious cinematic moments for the gob-smacked rest.

Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert (AUS, 1994) Yes I'm thinking the exact same thing as you, how in dingo doo doo did they get Terence Stamp to do this?!. Two drag queens and a transsexual embark on a road trip across the Aussie outback to Alice Springs in order to put on a show. Little do they know that the hotel they are headed for is managed by a woman still married to one of the trio. Well the drag queen still married to the woman knows, he just hasn't told his friends yet. ... More

A person on the underground is experiencing the rare chance to be a 21st-century Victorian caveman. She is doing something we don't value enough, in the contemporary world: she is travelling in a direction we don't prize. She is going down and in. Down under the ground, and down into the self; into the city, into the world, into the streets and also into herself. That, finally, is what the tube does most and does best. It takes us down and in.

Carling Cup woe leaves sour taste in the mouth
The last time Tyneside staged a Carling Cup tie, Mike Ashley partied in the Bigg Market until the wee hours and almost had the freedom of the city.
That game against Barnsley seems like a lifetime ago now but the defeat against Spurs left a sour taste in the mouths of the Geordie nation.
This time around, Ashley's seat was empty and Newcastle United were dumped out of the only competition they had any real shout of winning this season in front of one of the lowest crowds of the decade.
Most of the 20,000 plus crowd had long gone by the time Michael Owen netted his late strike and many of them will be wondering just what the short-term future holds for their side.
With no manager and a team crying out for leadership, Newcastle's players look like they are lacking in belief and looking like a team that don't know where their next win is coming from.
Talk of a saviour intensified tonight with Terry Venables the latest name to be bandied about for dugout duties while Nigerian takeover talk also gathered pace.
Yet just like the loss at West Ham did, the latest defeat merely pointed out that this is all pointing to a long hard winter.

Lee, I'm finished. Done, spent. Mentally exhausted. This has utterly drained me emotionally. Initially I wanted to give Ashley the benefit of doubt, even right up till he issued that god-awful press release last week. The way he has dealt with the situation since transfer deadline day has been nothing but disrespectful to us the fans, but I couldn't bring myself to admit that we have been used.
I've been supporting my team since my first Bobby Shinton season when he finished with as many goals as I was years old. 7.
I've witnessed the highs of KK as a player, Beardsleys chip over Jo Corrigan, Gazza eating marbars at the corner, the lazy Waddle step-over, Kenny Wharton sitting on the ball, Mirandina karate-kicking Dave Beasant, Shearers volley against villa, but all these are fading into almost insignificance after the last few weeks. Now, I'm empty. I have nothing left to give.
I think it speaks volumes that we are praying that an unknown consortium for Nigeria will buy us. I hope Mr Ashley sleeps well.
Another tough night and another poor result, against a poor Spurs team with about as much confidence as us!
I have to agree with you Lee, it is looking like a very tough winter ahead, the only signs of hope our this mornings news of El Tel and the Nigerian group. What a state we must be in to see this news as hope!!!
I must admit that I dont mind Venables and think he is a good quality coach, but not sure if might be past his best. He did well for Barcelona and England but some of his more recent work, McClaren's right hand man for example, leave a little to be desired!
But, if he is brought in on a full or part time basis then I for one will be fully behind him, and I hope that the rest of the fans and local press do the same?! This is not the time to complain about the new man coming in, we need someone at the helm in charge of the players to try and get some confidence back and hopefully some results too. There is far too many people shooting themselves in the foot right now, so what we dont need is any complaints if Venables is on the News later holding a Black and White shirt with Number 1 on the back!!!
As for the possible Nigerian takeover, well until something is confirmed then no point commenting, except to say I hope this lot have the interests of the club and fans at heart?!
"....a long hard winter"???? I think you mean the Championship and beyond (or should that be below?).
If we don't have some at least interim regime by Blackburn we are almost certainly heading for ruin.
The number of empty seats where paying customers should have been last night spoke volumes. Let's hope that, very soon, that fact has a detremental effect on Dennis Wise's CV when it's landing on desks outside of NUFC. I can forgive Mike Ashley for ill considered business decisions, I can even forgive him for looking after his gambling buddies. What I can never forgive him for is bringing the sleaze merchants into the club I've supported all my life and all but condemning it to a slow and agonising demise. The current hierarchy have no real interest in the club over and above what it puts into their pockets and it shows. The squad have no real purpose other than collecting their wages, and who can blame them. If you were doing the same job as somebody in another company who was appreciated and paid more by their boss would you perform to your maximum capabilities? I don't think so. We have a shopkeeper in charge. If a shop has no customers and it's products are either sub-standard or past their sell by dates it goes to the wall, irrespective of who's managing it. I suppose that all we've got to hope for is that the product hasn't already been too shop-soiled to be fit for purpose, otherwise we'll be facing a clearance in the January sales and the shutters coming down not long after. You often see signs outside pubs saying "Under New Ownership" or "Under New Management". It's still the same old pub until it's re-furbished. Do we think a new owner that's scraped together all of his available cash to buy the pub can or will afford to complete that refurbishment, or will they just rely on the regulars to still use their local because it's the only pub in town? Your guess is as good as mine.
The point sure was made today in that battle between the two bottom dwellers of the Premiership and us, losing at home... what a fragile state we are in. What if it had been the Premiership, not the league cup? We'd be flat bottom. Chills should be going down Ashley's spine, telling him to "sell, sell" (quote the magpie) before the club loses any more value...
I'm intrigued by the concept of a Nigerian consortium. If they give us a leg up on recruiting up and coming African players, that could make an interesting twist. I hope they come to the table with a full wallet. There is no sense in diving into the Premiership and expect to win without a dramatic investment in the club.
I echo much of the sentiment above. I truly long for some long term board/managerial stability at NUFC. I long for those days when we beat the Reds 5-1 (and deserved the victory) and I long to see my team in the top third and challenging for that top 4/5th place. Bring back KK under Nigerian direction and if we are obliged to keep DW et al (I do hope not !) then have the last say on player outs/ins be with KK.
El Tel would be a good interim and I will give him the benefit of the doubt and support until we get KK back at the helm.
Keep on movin' lads.
Let's get behind the team against Blackburn on Saturday.
Yes, last night was a poor result.
However, it's important for us to look in the direction we intend to head - up.
In Martins, Owen, Duff, Given, N'Zogbia, Geremi, Butt, and others, we have real class.
Cheer them on, don't run them down this Saturday.
Hearing the boos at St James's Park last night was awful.
The only difference between the first comment and mine is that I was there from 1960 and tasted European glory in the Fairs cup, the other highlights of Paul White's toon life and his present emotional condition and mine are exactly spot on. In fact I'm coming down with shingles, brought on no doubt by my recent emotional trauma. Final point ...Steven Taylor is not premiership quality. He alone, like Bramble has cost us more goals and games than any other individual in the team. Total bull's knacker.
Wilsonmagpie- are you for real?
In Geremi and Butt, we have the two most pedestrian midfielders in the league, with no creativity. GeremiâÂÂs corners never beat the first man and Nicky Butts legs are really catching up with him. They both play like 50 year olds.
Duff hasnâÂÂt had a good game since he left Chelsea, refuses to cross, canâÂÂt beat a man and canâÂÂt take a corner either.
NâÂÂZogbia is quite good, but is often played at left back and as a consequence is useless.
Martins and Owen are good for a goal or two, but need supply, Given must have been a murderer in a previous life to deserve what he seeâÂÂs in front of him.
People ask why the London press talk about Toon as clowns. Why is obvious when people on Tyneside seriously view Terry Venables and a bunch of Nigerians as potential saviours. If they take over it will give more than a little amusement to many down south and elsewhere.
If Man City are worth 200 million, then NUFC can only be worth about what Ashley paid in the first place. What is needed is a local buyer at a realistic price and a young manager (like Shearer perhaps).
If Blackburn come to Toon and win on the weekend it will be the signal for far more troubled times than just one long winter.
Well in some stupid way I enjoyed this game more than the one I saw against Hull. In the first half we sat back and defended solidly, the game was drab and dull, the second half we put more of an effort in had some actual chances and on another day we could have ended up winners on the night.
The one thing that lets us down the most is not effort, we put enough of that in every week but basic passing skills and our defensive self destruct button. 3 times in 3 games we've personally contributed goals to the opposition, its cost us premier league points and now an entire cup competition.
We made our lowest attendance for 16 years last night. Our attendance was 20,000. 20 thousand people and what a noise we made at times. It might have been our lowest but it was still an incredible support.
We mustn't give up. We mustn't desert our club. Keep the faith, keep your season tickets and don't rip up your match tickets. Show your pride in being a Newcastle fan, even if our club is in a mess at the moment. I'm not sorry that I'm a Newcastle Fan and look forward to the Blackburn game even if this time I'm not putting my expectations high.
Come on Newcastle!!!!!!
Another fine mess you've left us in ASHLEY,i'm sure Stan&Ollie would'nt make such a big mess as you've left us in.
Dreadful. Midfield bereft of creativity. Two willing forwards bereft of the ball. And as for the defence... why on earth did we sell Faye? Tayls is prone to some dreadful errors and last night was a prime example. Butt, Geremi and Duff don't have it in them any more; the ease with which the latter is shrugged off the ball is embarrassing.
As KK said, we're just not good enough. We need more players - players of genuine quality. No matter how bad Spurs have been recently, look who they could bring off the bench; whereas we had a bunch of also rans.
And for those 'fans' who continue to kick KK when he's down, what do you think of the lack of communication between Hughton and his 'superiors'? That should give you a good idea of how things are being run.
think of it this way... on current form, how many of our current players would get in Wigans team.
If we don't go down this season I'll eat my hat.
Stop playing the same dross... Butt Geremi,Cacapa, Taylor Zog, Duff, put the kids in they can't possibly be worse. between all the afoementioned none can put a cross in.. even from a dead ball!
wilsonmagpie is confused, yes get behind the team but open your eye's man
Hi Lee,
After reading from all the fans i must say that we are all desperate for some good news and i don't think the Nigerians are a good idea either for the toon.
I think we will have either venners or hoddle soon in the dug out, and if the nigerians are serious players why is venners being linked if they are close to the takeover and remember that they said they would look to bring back KK.
Makes no sense to me this farce.
Relegation could be something that could happen and i thought we were close last this year and we will lose Michael Owen and maybe more players and not many will come in if we are not sold.
As i said earlier DESPERATE,DESPERATE,DESPERATE,DESPERATE,DESPERATE.
I need cheering up more and i am unemployed for gods sake.
I can't understand anyone thinking Venables will help us. He is just a football management mercenary, and besides he is another COCKNEY and we have enough of them already. If we are just looking for a temporary appointment until the club is sold, why not persuade our favourite son Shearer to give it a try. It would certainly boost the fans and players, and hopefully this would be reflected in the team's performance and produce a few much needed wins. If it didn't work out, I am sure no one would blame Alan. Definitely worth a gamble
After weds disastor against spurs (wonder if ASHLEY was cheering??? him being a spurs fan)we have to make sure we get behind the lads on saturday against Blackburn, i no they get top whack money but you can see the confidence has gone with some of them, otherwise we are going to get dragged into serious trouble with a relegation battle if we are not already there!!.
Lee, Alan Oliver and John Gibson if you are reading this i think we should start highlighting this more in the local press to get behind the team, we no Ash has got the message and he was just a cockney con man from the start but at the end of the day the black and white shirt is the most important thing and we have to get the confidence back in the majority of players that are pulling it on and start with saturday and let any prospective buyers of the club see why we are the best FANS!!! in the country.
As i am doing this it say venables has knocked us back,(not that i wanted him but to steady the ship so to speak might have been not bad) they are clutching straws trying to get someone what a bunch of CLOWNS!!!! ROLE ON NEW OWNERS!!!!!!!
I honestly thought that last night our luck would change and continue on our never ending search for silverware but obviously i was wrong again and now must look to the FA Cup for our next chance to win something.
Despite everything that has happened off the pitch the team we have are more than good enough to see off teams like Spurs (definetly Hull City), there all professionals and get paid more than enough for what they do, i honestly dont' know where we go from here(even the mackems are higher!!) but defeat to Rovers on saturday could put us in real trouble.
Hi Lee-I must confess I watched the game on telly-well why would I drive 375 miles to see what we saw last night. I have supported Newcastle all my life -it has cost me money,tears,anguish and sorrow-with some good times of sheer joy-What Ashley has done has made me totally sick-I cant stand the thought of him and Wise with their other cronies ever coming near our club again. Some points from last nights game-Taylor and Collochini looked as though they were making it under KK -they seem to have gone to bits since he left-Duff-absolutely useless -I have seen nothing to convince me he is still premiership material-Martins who I like still needs to pass the ball. The midfield -no craft -no skill and consequently-the forwards are starved . KK could see this and how right he was. Somebody please save us.

Windows 7-somebody accessed my personal stuff off my laptop ???
My soon to be ex-wife, on my new Dell inspirion said I left my E-MAIL open and ...
Anyways I could swear I shutdown and at minimum closed it shut so it went into sleep mode. She would have done this at least an hour after I closed down. My user account is PASSWORD protected. I thought if it sleeps and you open it back up it goes to user login or does it depend what program you left open ?
What if I was correct that I did shutdown completely, what is the possibility of somebody getting into my account by bypassing the password or circumventing my administrator priviliges ? or am I wrong that an open program will stay open until whenever ?
I am really pissed.
Water under the bridge now but I'd still like to know, especially if she took it to some pro.

Shawne Merriman was a stud for the San Diego Chargers when he came into the league.
Ever since he got injured OR ever since he got caught using steroids, he has never been the same player. People still like to argue whether his decline was because of the injury or the steroids, but that decline was fast.
The Buffalo Bills have released him today. He will be looking to resurrect his career with some other team that runs a 3-4 defense. Don't even think that the San Diego Chargers will look in his direction though.
Where does he end up?
Coach Ron Rivera says Panthers not interested at this time in bringing in former Chargers LB Shawne Merriman, who was released by Bills.

Small businesses are increasingly finding it necessary to their upgrade PCs, websites and other IT infrastructure — even if they're performing well — just to stay competitive with their bigger rivals and to comply with increasing government regulation.
"We compete against Staples, Office Depot, Office Max and Quill," says Wendy Pike, owner and president of Twist Office Products, a Chicago-based independent supplier of office products. "Our customers expect the shopping experience on our website to equal that of these big competitors. Obviously, we do not have the capital to invest in our technology that these companies have. [So] we have worked on our front-end and back-end web store capabilities."
Small businesses also have to upgrade PC and IT systems periodically to remain compliant with data privacy and other regulations, often presenting a budget challenge.
So these companies usually review their IT needs annually, with most upgrading their hardware every three to five years.
"An aggressive business will replace workstations every three years, but a four-year rotation is sustainable," says Mark Shipman, president of CLEAR, an Anaheim, Calif.-based IT consulting company specializing in small business.
"When a business waits until computers break to replace them, they risk much more downtime to employees during that time," Shipman explains. "They also miss out on any technology benefits in newer technology."
But hardware upgrades increasingly have more to do with external factors than major advances in technology.
"I think hardware development has actually slowed in the last few years," says Tim Singleton, owner of Strive Technology Consulting, a Boulder, Colo.-based IT consultancy that provides support for small businesses in the Boulder/Denver area.
"CPU's are not actually getting faster anymore," he explains. "They are merely able to process more at the same speed. Windows is requiring ever more amounts of memory just to run properly, but the price of memory has come down commensurately. The same can be said for hard drives. Everyone is generating more data, but hard drives are getting bigger at the same pace."
End of software support
Most small companies are satisfied with their IT systems and are reluctant to change what works. But the choice is not always theirs.
"This quarter, we are seeing small businesses realize that Microsoft is ending support for Windows XP, Server 2003 and Exchange 2003 in April," says CLEAR's Singleton. "This is driving many companies to start the upgrade for those resources now."
Some, however, don't have to worry about upgrading their hardware because they've already moved to the cloud, an Internet-based operating system that is managed by a third party.
"Two years ago, we upgraded our operating system to be cloud-based," says Twist's Pike. "Having our provider host our operating system on their server in the cloud has given us higher reliability and speed."
Alex Brown, chief executive officer at 10th Magnitude, a Chicago-based provider of advanced cloud solutions based on the Microsoft Azure platform, also believes that the use of cloud providers allows companies to take advantage of low-cost IT solutions.
"We outsource most of our IT to various cloud providers, and we look for ease of use and simple administration," he says. "Since we ourselves are IT experts, a better example may be our clients, who outsource their custom IT software needs to us. They are looking for hassle-free maintenance, quick support, and security in addition to simple administration and ease of use."
Other factors
Some of the pressure to upgrade is coming from the company's own employees, who increasing want to work remotely and use their own devices, or BYOD.
"What they really need to worry about is how to deal with users' demands for desktops, laptops, tablets, smartphones, etc.," says Singleton. "We have a wonderful opportunity for mobility and freedom; everyone wants to be able to work from everywhere. That availability is great, but making a company's documents and resources [accessible on] different platforms and devices is the tricky part to tackle. That is what is so much different now than three years ago."
CLEAR's Shipman believes that these requirements drive up "costs to play," and adding an essential process leads to compliance issues.
"Just accepting credit cards exposes small businesses to expensive yearly security audits," he says. "These costs often force small business to outsource their IT requirements."
Compliance regulations, e-discovery and other technology standards also force companies to adapt, often with substantial expense.
"The small business community is largely unaware of the compliance goliath they are actually subject to," cautions Shipman. "I don't think this will change much until owners start to hear about others' pain in this area. In many cases, the technology required to maintain compliance in many cases will double IT costs for these businesses."
10th Magnitude's Brown recommends using the cloud to reduce costs.
"The shift of IT to the cloud has made that task easier, since it has allowed small business IT to rethink staff roles and realign that function with the specific, revenue-oriented needs of the business," he says.
When outsourcing IT staff, small businesses should always consider nondisclosure agreements and review vendor companies carefully.
"Most [outsourcing] companies offer a nondisclosure agreement and pre-employment screening as a show of best effort to put an owner at ease," says Shipman. "Periodic training on these policies and procedures needs to be happening and documented. An outsourcer should be able to open up their office and show documented evidence that these things are happening."Tags: Business Management,Technology

For the past four months in Libya, rebel forces made up of civilians and army defectors have been waging battles against Muammar Qaddafi's armed forces, holding their own and sometimes advancing with the assistance of NATO air strikes. Scrambling to arm themselves against mercenaries and a professional army, rebels have been making use of everything they can — from using captured weapons and munitions to rigging anti-aircraft guns and aircraft rocket launchers to the backs of civilian pickup trucks. Collected here are recent images of some of this weaponry used by the Libyan rebels. [34 photos]

Guest Article: BC – Before Cancellara

@wiscot is at it again. He is the Velominati historian and I'm always pleased when more of his writing arrives at the bunker. Luckily for all of us, cycling has a long history, most of which we are unaware of. This was not taught at school. Any article that includes the words Spartacus and Hour Record in the first paragraph already has my attention. Read on. Continue reading

As usual there are the two schools of thought when looking back at the Bengals 17-10 win over Kansas City.
The first one is that they got the win and that the offense was able to get things going in the second half.
Vovici Online Survey Software
The other one is that they still have a long way to go if they are going to do anything in the playoffs.
Both schools of thought are valid. It was a game that resembled the ones against the Browns and Lions — ugly most of the time but still a win.
Depending on what happens in the early games on Sunday, the Bengals could still be playing for the third seed when they face the Jets. Plus when looking back at 2005, when they lost three straight heading into the postseason, the Bengals want to go into the playoffs with momentum.
So after reviewing the tape, here are the grades from Sunday:
On the two touchdown drives, Carson Palmer was 11 of 12 for 99 yards and was able to spread the ball to his receivers. The second-quarter interception was hung up in the air too long, but they did try to take their shots downfield at times.
Cedric Benson set a team record with his sixth 100-yard game of the season, getting 99 of his 133 yards in the second half. Larry Johnson's hopes of running wild on his former team did not work as planned (four carries, 11 yards). A holding call on Jeremi Johnson during the second quarter stalled a drive in Chiefs territory.
Chad Ochocinco atoned for stepping on the back end zone line in the second quarter with a falling catch in the fourth for the winning touchdown, marking his fourth straight game with a TD. Laveranues Coles (three catches, 43 yards) also came up big on the two scoring drives while Andre Caldwell at times was used as a deep receiver.
Dan Coats had one catch for seven yards but J.P. Foschi had a costly drop in the first half.
There was one sack given up when Wallace Gilberry got leverage on Bobbie Williams. There were two false start penalties (Dennis Roland and Andrew Whitworth) with both of them on first down.
Not much in the way of generating a pass rush. The only player who stood out was Michael Johnson, who had a sack, tackle for loss and pass breakup.
Dhani Jones led the Bengals with eight tackles, but he was beat by a couple steps on Tim Castille's touchdown in the fourth quarter.
An inconsistent game from Morgan Trent, but Leon Hall came up big with his sixth interception of the season to preserve the win.
The Chiefs brought plenty of pressure on punts and Kevin Huber did have one partially blocked. Shayne Graham added another field goal.
With the funeral of Chris Henry, a holiday week and a two-game losing streak it was going to be a stressful week. Marvin Lewis did strike the right balance in getting his team ready and they were able to respond in the second half.

Volunteers have played a critical role in hospitals for centuries, compassionately supplementing the services that staff provides to their patients, their families and guests. Volunteers also play an important role in patient satisfaction, adding a special dimension of personal service and care. Volunteering can be a source of pride, enjoyment and challenge.
Because the safety our employees, patients and other volunteers is a priority, a criminal background check is required (paid for by hospital). This requires a social security number.

MIAMI (CBS4) – Miami-Dade Police are searching for answers Thursday evening after an anonymous call led them to two dead bodies in a home.
The call came in regarding a check in the welfare call of the people in the home. Once officers arrived, they discovered the two bodies.
"Once our officers did come inside and discovered the two bodies, they exited and we're currently awaiting a warrant so they can go inside and further investigate," said Detective Robin Pinkard.
Miami-Dade Police have not released any other details, but are calling the case a double homicide.

Friendly staff, but not the "Jellystone" camping we are used to. We stayed over a holiday weekend and there were no activities for the kids. We like to camp in Sept and Oct and at each Jellystone campground we've stayed at they always have activities throughout the weekend. Sites had no privacy, they were one on top of the other. We're used to have a semi-private location with some trees in between each site. The grounds were really pretty and the fall is a great time to visit. Another thing is that they call the park - Jellystone Campground - Cooperstown, but they are really 1/2 hour away. To me that's a little misleading. We had to travel a 1/2 hour to and from Cooperstown each day. We were under the impression that they were located right outside and perhaps a 10 minute ride at most. Price was very low, but perhaps because there were no activities going on. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We are not "Jellystone" folks; we are retired and prefer peace and quiet to Yogi and Boo-Boo visiting. BUT...it was off season and the price was right, so we stayed. We were pleasantly surprised: beautiful sites, excellent facilities, and not crowded. The sign on the bath house said being renovated, so there was some issue there, but when finished it will be lovely: new paneling, cedar on the ceiling, bright metal on the stall sides. Showers were large, had hot water and comfortable. There were some issues so be aware: many, many speed bumps in the park to slow folks down, and they are sharp and create a real thump. The sites we were on were grass and not level. It took a bit of doing, but we got there. The walk to the bath houses is uphill and no paved path, so not ADA compliant. Same for the pool: it is big with lots of chairs and tables, but no easy path to it. Coming in and out of the campground are some tight turns that might be an issue for larger rigs or long trailers. Finally, although they have some nice cabins, they put camping sites right in front; I would suspect in very busy times you would have NO view of the lake, just someone's RV. We would stay again in the off season, but definitely pass on this when crawling with lots of kids, noise, and crowds. We camped here in a Motorhome.

Great park for families with kids. Always activities going on for them. Pool was huge and clean. Although we were in a tent we camped on a RV site so we could be right on the lake. The tent sites are up on the hill with none having lake front. Fishing for the kids was awesome, the lake is the best stocked lake I have ever seen! Wi-Fi did work at our site. It was a little crowded though and got noisy at night and nothing was done to quiet it. Long walk to the main office, playground, and arcade from most of the sites. We camped here in a Tent.

Stayed here while visiting the Baseball Hall of Fame. Usually love the Jellystone CG's. However, this one is not on par. The lake is poorly maintained and very unappealing with the amount of debris in it. We were surprised at how many permanent campers there were. The trash pick up at your site is great, but if you don't want to sit at the arcade, you will not be able to use the Wi-Fi. The staff was a mixed group. Some nice and some indifferent. Will skip this CG the next time around. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Pretty, quiet campground that makes a good base for seeing Cooperstown and the surrounding area. It is very relaxing here, and if we are in the area again, this is where we will stay. There are only four 50A sites so if you want 50A, probably best to make a reservation. Verizon air-card doesn't work very well at the site and their wi-fi doesn't work at all the the site. But both work great outside of the arcade where they have tables and comfortable chairs. Many activities are available and the employees were very nice and helpful. Trash is picked up at your site twice a day. We camped here in a Motorhome.

This is a great campground to experience with children. There were many planned activities, hayrides,visits with Yogi and Boo Boo, a clean pool, arcade, boat and bike rentals. It was clean and private. Staff was very pleasant and helpful. We arrived after 11 pm and were guided in to our site by the security guard. This park was not crowded and sites were reasonably spaced. It's a great place for families! We camped here in a Motorhome.

We stayed here for July 4th weekend. We were very disappointed since it was a Jellystone Park. The employees were mostly very rude and had a I don't want to work type of attitude. They enforced none of the rules. Some of the sites had 2 to 3 tents per site. They had asked some people to leave due to the fact they were cutting down trees with axes and never enforced it. Some people were fixing cars on the campsites & washing dirty dishes in the road. The lake was very dirty. I found this campground to be very trashy. We will not return. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

I don't know about the past, but this was a fabulous park for us on our recent visit. You will pay for amenities, but this place had it all. With young children, it's sometimes hard to keep them busy at a campground. At Jellystone Park, there are constant planned activities, as well as a nice game room, miniature golf, boat rentals, and a store that has all your needs. The bathrooms were always spotless, it appeared to me that they cleaned them at least 4 times a day. Having your trash picked up on site was also a nice perk, as well as the visits from Yogi and friends. My 3 year old son LOVES these parks (we also stayed at the one in St. Louis). The staff was pleasant and helpful. Can't say enough good things about it. We camped here in a Motorhome.

My wife and I joined her mom and three other couples that we invited to camp along with us at Jellystone Campground at Crystal Lake in Garrattsville, NY over the week of the 4th of July holiday. We had camped there a couple of times over the past few years and really enjoyed the campgrounds. The kids loved it then and it was a no brainer to go back. Now I do not know if we will ever go back. It is under new management and not nearly as well run as in the past. Granted, there had been some severe rains and flooding in the week leading up to our trip, so I will not mention the logistical problems that that created, but we found it inexcusable that the bathrooms were filthy, out of toilet paper a number of times, and, in one really terrible example, both toilets in the men's room were plugged and about to overflow. We would notify the office when supplies were low, and in one laughable example, after telling them that both bathrooms were out of toilet paper, they sent a staff member with one roll. The place is seriously understaffed. I think that one girl was assigned to clean all of the bathrooms and shower buildings on the grounds the whole week. The activity staff didn't seem very friendly, actually ignoring me as I waved to a couple of them one morning. The snackbar and campstore/office closed early nearly every day that we were there, one time as early as 6:30pm. When the snackbar was open, it was out of paper products a couple of times. Tiles around the pool were cracked and falling off, leaving jagged edged pieces around the pool area and in the pool. The dumpsters at the park were full and overflowing by Sunday (our second day there) and did not get emptied until Thursday. Now, I understand that the holiday was Tuesday, but, come on, we made our reservations for the holiday week back in the fall and I am sure that most of the people there had reserved their site long ago. Management knew they were going to have a full campground, it was no surprise to anyone. Why not make special arrangements to ensure that dumpsters get emptied? We do not have need for the dumping station, but I heard from some campers that it was full and overflowing by Sunday also. I personally know of two campers who pulled out early, before the holiday, due to the conditions. Trailer Life gave this campground a very high rating last year, and I trust that rating. Hopefully they will look closely at it this year before rating it again. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

Issues I encountered: 1) Was promised one RV unit and was switched to another less-desirable RV when I arrived. 2) Made family wait an hour for checkin. 3) Woke family up at 8AM one morning when filling propane tanks. Noise lasted close to 20 minutes. 4) Overheard staff complaining about guests. 5) Tried to rent bikes 20 minutes for my kids before closing (7PM during summer!) and was told in a very nasty way to come back the next day even though place was very empty. 6) Advertise all kinds of activities but when you are here, you have to use them when they make them available. Many weren't open more then an hour one day per week. 7) Management not accommodating at all, and have bad attitude. Much more concerned with rules then with guests. Was verbally abused by a staff member in front of family! 8) I will never return to this place nor would I recommend it to anyone. We camped here in a Motorhome.

I went to this campground because it got very high ratings in my Frommer's guide book for site privacy and spaciousness. I was very disappointed and found these ratings inaccurate. As another reviewer stated, there was really nothing between sites but a picnic table. We had a lakefront site and although there were very few campers there this weekend, I could see the people who were twenty sites away, so site privacy was pretty much non existent. Had it been a full weekend, we would have only had about five feet between us and our neighbors. I drove around and looked at other sites, and it all seemed the same. The lake - Crystal Lake - is anything but crystal. It was the brownest, smelliest lake I've ever seen. There were dead fish along the shore. You cannot swim there, and for obvious reasons. We took a paddle boat out and you can't even see 1" below the surface. When we asked for directions in the office to any of the nearby attractions, no one could tell us anything - they all seemed to be work campers and not from the area. When we did finally get directions to the Baseball Hall of Fame (30 minutes away) they were wrong. We had to stop at a gas station and get straightened out. They did have a fair amount of activities, but since we didn't have kids with us, we didn't go to them. We did go to a pancake breakfast, which we had signed up ahead of time for, but many showed up without signing up, so they were understaffed and it took 45 minutes to get pancakes for the two of us. I won't be returning. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

We stayed here over Labor Day weekend and it was completely full. We had a lakeside site which was great for the fishers in my family (although they didn't catch anything) and a lovely view. The sites were decent size but there is nothing between you and your neighbor and just a few trees along the lake for shade (our site had none). The sites up on the hill (non lakeside) seemed very close but shadier. Even though we were one of the closest sites to the bathroom, it was an walk up an unpleasantly steep hill to get there. The bathroom needed some work - the sinks were so high my 9 year old could just about wash her hands and two of the four doors to the toilet stalls were so crooked they wouldn't close. But, on the positive side - we had a nice time with the ceramics classes and the hayride. We also enjoyed the talent contest and concert one night. The pool was nice, but at that time it was too cold for most of us. It has a very well stocked store and the check in system was quite smooth. I would stay there again if I needed to be in the area (and not on a holiday weekend) but I wouldn't make a special 3 hour trip just to go there. We camped here in a Tent Trailer.

The sites on the lake were lovely but we ended up in a cramped area away from the lake where everyone was on top of each other. It was difficult to back our TT into the cramped site, but the staff helped us out and were quite pleasant. There were pleny of activities for the children and a decent pool to swim in. This is a nice place but honestly I don't feel it's worth the 10 points/5 diamonds some of the rating guides give it. We camped here in a Travel Trailer.

Causes of climate change
The changes that our planet has undergone throughout its history are a result of natural factors like tiny changes in the Earth's path around the sun, volcanic activity and fluctuations within the climate system. However, humans are having an increasing influence on our climate by burning fossil fuels, cutting down rainforests and farming livestock.
The Greenhouse Effect
As the sun's energy warms up the Earth, our planet radiates some of this heat back out towards space. Certain gases in the atmosphere act like the glass in a greenhouse, allowing the sun's energy in but preventing heat from escaping.
Some greenhouse gases, such as water vapour - the most abundant greenhouse gas - are naturally present in the atmosphere; without them, the Earth's average temperature would be an unbearably cold -18ºC instead of the 15ºC it is today.
However, human activities are releasing enormous amounts of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere and this is enhancing the greenhouse effect.
Feeling the heat
The consensus among the world's leading climate scientists is that there is no doubt the climate system is warming, and that it is extremely likely that emissions of greenhouse gases from human activities are the dominant cause.
The global average temperature has risen by 0.85ºC since the late 19th century and each of the past three decades has been warmer than any preceding decade since records began in 1850. Since the middle of the 20th century concentrations of greenhouse gases have increased, the atmosphere and ocean have warmed, the amounts of snow and ice have diminished and sea level has risen.
Need to keep warming below 2°C
The latest scientific evidence suggests that, if little or no action is taken to reduce global greenhouse gas emissions, by the end of this century global warming is likely to exceed 2°C above the average temperature in 1850-1900 and could be as much as 5°C.
An increase of 2°C compared to the temperature in pre-industrial times is seen by scientists as the threshold beyond which there is a much higher risk that dangerous and possibly catastrophic changes in the global environment will occur. For this reason the international community has recognised the need to keep warming below 2°C.
CO2 emissions rising
The greenhouse gas most commonly produced by human activities is carbon dioxide (CO2). It is responsible for some 64% of man-made global warming. One of the main sources of CO2 in the atmosphere is the combustion of fossil fuels - coal, oil and gas.
Over the past two and a half centuries, our societies have burnt increasing amounts of fossil fuels to power machines, generate electricity, heat buildings and transport people and goods. Since the Industrial Revolution in 1750 the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere has increased by around 40%, and it continues to rise.
Deforestation: a double blow for the climate
Trees help to regulate the climate by taking up CO2 from the atmosphere, and immense amounts of carbon are stored in the world's forests. When forests are cut down, the carbon stored in the trees is released into the atmosphere as CO2, adding to the greenhouse effect. On top of that, when a forest is destroyed, it can no longer absorb CO2 from the atmosphere.
Other greenhouse gases
Other greenhouse gases are emitted in smaller quantities than CO2. However, these all trap heat far more effectively than CO2, and are in some cases thousands of times stronger, making them powerful contributors to global warming.
In addition to CO2, six other gases are controlled by the Kyoto Protocol, the international treaty which sets limitations on greenhouse gas emissions from developed countries. These gases are:
- Methane: The most common greenhouse gas after CO2, methane is responsible for around one-fifth of global warming from human activities. One reason for rising methane emissions is the expansion of livestock farming due to the growing consumption of meat and dairy products. The bacteria that help cattle and sheep digest their food produces methane gas, which the animals belch back into the atmosphere.
- Nitrous oxide: Emission sources include nitrogen fertilisers, the combustion of fossil fuels, and some industrial processes, including nylon production. Nitrous oxide is responsible for around 6% of man-made global warming.
- Fluorinated gases: Certain industrial gases which have been found to deplete the Earth's protective ozone layer account for around 12% of global warming. They are being phased out, but in some cases they are being substituted by so-called fluorinated gases which can be even more powerful greenhouse gases. Four types of fluorinated gases are controlled by the Kyoto Protocol: hydrofluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons, sulphur hexafluoride and (for 2013-2020 only) nitrogen trifluoride. They are used in a variety of industrial applications.
