Book News for Tuesday, June 27, 2006Posted by Brockman, June 27, 2006 10:20 am 3 Comments Filed under: Book News.
- Big news for Harry Potter fans! J. K. Rowling has revealed that two characters will die in the next and final volume in the gazillion-selling series — but she coyly refuses to say which two.
Why, that Scottish minx! It's as though she's trying to build some kind of anticipation in her readership without spoiling the suspense. Pure marketing genius!
- James Shapiro won Britain's most lucrative nonfiction award, the Samuel Johnson Prize, for his book A Year in the Life of William Shakespeare: 1599. The prize is worth 30,000 pounds, or $55,000 U.S.
- Only Oprah could bring Harper Lee out of literary seclusion.
- The Supreme Court shot down an attempt by A. A. Milne's granddaughter (backed by Disney) to retrieve the rights to Winnie-the-Pooh from its longtime licensee and revert them to Disney. One can hope this means the beginning of the end of all those annoying straight-to-video Pooh flicks... though one probably shouldn't hope for too much.
- On the newly redesigned Slate, Stanley Crouch takes a look at Edgar Rice Burroughs; his most famous creation, Tarzan; and The Tarzan Collection, just out on DVD.
Not one of the six films in The Tarzan Collection is very good, but the unit of adventures reveals much about our naive conception of "purity" as it arrives in popular culture, where "something wild" always offers an answer to the problems and dilemmas that attend modern living.
- Nathaniel Hawthorne and his wife are finally together again after more than a century apart. Hollywood is already casting Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock to play their remains in the upcoming film.
- More from Slate: Meghan O'Rourke, whom our own Alexis loves dearly, takes a look at Linda Hirshman's Get to Work: A Manifesto for Women of the World, which admonishes women for staying home with the kids.
What has riled everyone up isn't just Hirshman's message that only in the work force will women find fulfillment. It's that Hirshman attacked the sacred cow of the motherhood debate: the notion that it's a good thing liberated women are allowed to choose whether to work or stay at home — an intellectual paradigm Hirshman dubbed "choice feminism."
And if you're thinking O'Rourke is about to tear Hirshman a new one, think again:
It's when Hirshman is at her most radical — when she sets aside the language of personal fulfillment in favor of injunctions about the collective good — that she is at her most valuable. I would never write this book, but I'm glad somebody did.
Yowza! Sounds like someone needs to lock Hirshman in a room with To Hell with All That author Caitlin Flanagan and let them duke it out. Hey, speaking of whom...
- Did anyone else happen to notice that today's Review-a-Day from the Atlantic Monthly was written by former guest blogger Caitlin Flanagan? Just wonderin'.
- The Jamaicans are coming! The Jamaicans are coming!
- Monica Ali, author of Brick Lane and Alentejo Blue, writes about her writing process in the Washington Post:
How do you write? It's a question that comes up often; not one that I have seriously attempted to answer before. Sometimes "On a laptop" seems to suffice. That I rarely get beyond such superficialities is, perhaps, a reflection of my feeling that I don't need to know how I write.
She goes on to quote Nabokov: ""My characters are galley slaves." Which, Dave informs me, is my new official job title. He also muttered something I didn't quite catch — sounded like "Gor," maybe. I'll have to ask him about that later.

Jennifer's Body is a teen slasher flick in the way Mean Girls is a teen comedy. The description works, but if you really want to get down to brass tacks, these movies are probably more for viewers who remember high school than for viewers who are actually in high school. They're both just so sly with their observations that most probably won't notice the post-modern vibe.
Hell -- we are informed by our protagonist, Anita "Needy" Lesnicky (Amanda Seyfried) -- is a teenage girl. Needy is the unassuming, bespectacled, and usually subservient BFF of Jennifer (Megan Fox), by far the hottest girl in their tiny high school. The two appear to have nothing in common, with Needy modestly shuffling around after Jennifer, who ruthlessly wields her sex-as-a-weapon body to the torture of every boy, and possibly girl, she meets. But, of course, as Needy explains in her voice-over, "Sandbox love never dies."
Their lopsided relationship seems to work, until Jennifer becomes infected with some kind of demonic force, and starts murdering and eating boys, forcing Needy to confront her friend's evil nature -- preexisting and otherwise. What ends up unfolding is a fun comic horror movie with excellent dialogue (which writer Diablo Cody has deftly toned down from the spastic slang of Juno) and some smart subtext about womanhood and sex and friendship and whatever else you'd expect.
This works really well because the movie's horror foundation is pretty solid. So since we're already busy being entertained with an amusing and gory narrative, it's awesome to see a Final Girl who actually gets to have sex with her boyfriend. Cody only subverts the genre after covering all her bases with a good story, and she seems to know her stuff. The only real problem is that even though there's plenty of blood, guts, and general creepiness, nothing in Jennifer's Body is really what you'd call scary. Director Karyn Kusama opts to never show Jennifer actually eviscerating anybody, instead cutting to silhouettes or reaction shots. But on the other hand, there is a ridiculously hot lesbian kiss. So, all in all, it's a worthwhile venture. ~ Cammila Collar, Rovi

Looks like Dodd will retire, too, making Connecticut's seat a somewhat harder pick-up for Republicans as Democrats will find a candidate who's less scandal-ridden. Too bad. I had hoped exposure to Kennedy had imbued him with enough of the "I'm an untouchable legacy whom the nation needs in Washington" feeling that he'd stick around until the bitter end.

Quick _ name the All-Star MVP from last year.
It was Melky Cabrera, who hit a two-run homer for the National League before being replaced midway through the game.
With position players often on the field for only a few innings _ and pitchers making even briefer appearances _ the biggest stars don't have much time to shine individually.
But a few have managed to do so. Here's a rundown of some of the top performances in All-Star history.
CARL HUBBELL, 1934, and PEDRO MARTINEZ, 1999
The All-Star game was only in its second year when Hubbell struck out Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Jimmie Foxx, Al Simmons and Joe Cronin in order. Whiffing those five Hall of Famers was the highlight of Hubbell's three scoreless innings, and 65 years later, Martinez put forth a decent imitation. The Boston right-hander threw two hitless innings, fanning Barry Larkin, Larry Walker, Sammy Sosa, Mark McGwire and Jeff Bagwell _ although only the first four went down in succession.
In the first All-Star game played at Yankee Stadium, Feller came on in the sixth with the bases loaded and one out, trying to protect a 3-1 lead for the American League. He got Arky Vaughan to hit into a double play, then breezed through the last three innings, allowing only one hit.
TED WILLIAMS, 1941 and 1946
Take your pick. In his famous .406 season of `41, Williams gave the AL a 7-5 win with a three-run homer with two out in the bottom of the ninth. Five years later, the Splendid Splinter went 4 for 4 with two homers, four runs and five RBIs. The AL won 12-0.

I hate planes and love trains and married a fisherman who feels the same way. We love exploring new cities on foot and eating all the delicious food. Our favorite places are bookstores, dog parks and divey bars.
We're embarking on a cross-country train trip this winter and we're excited to explore all sorts of places in Canada and the US we've never seen, and to meet some new people (and dogs) along the way.

Nevada: Dirt, Mountains, and the Occasional Casino
... It was first a gold mining town, but when the gold ran out, it was pretty much done for. I enjoyed walking around there, peeking into windows and seeing the belongings left everywhere. In the schoolhouse, there were books still lying around on desks like the kids would be coming back from recess anytime now. I also looked into many different saloons. Obviously, I reenacted a shootout in front of one of them, old west style.
Now began our long trek through the middle of nowhere. ...

... we first went to the Super 8 but then settled for the Motel 6, $58. We fueled up at the flying J down the road and while I was checking the car over I found the serpentine belt was torn. Bugger! So we went to the auto parts place to get a new belt and changed it in the parking lot. Yay all ok!! We then went back to the room and got KFC from next door for dinner. Probably the best KFC I have had, not a drop of grease surprisingly. Off to sleep now after a big day ...

Today is the first day of the fall. My appetite is bigger than ever. I'm not pregnant or anything, just to clarify. The fall air always inspired me to cook and eat well. I'm sure many people out there are feeling the same. Since I don't have to pick up my daughter from school around lunch time anymore, I've been making my lunch home more. I'm alone at the house and it is the best time to come up with something fun and easy to cook in peace and quiet.
My lunch is usually made of something left over in the fridge. Today I made this baked pasta. I happen to have a small batch of quinoa and brown rice pasta that I didn't know what to do with for a while. I'm not gluten intolerant but I eat gluten free stuff often. Just because I live in Seattle? Maybe? They are just very available and fun to try out. I must say I'm not a huge fun of gluten free pasta. The texture and tastes are still a bit off. But I don't mind them eating baked because it seems to be more forgiving with the texture.
I bought this small cast iron pan that I thought I'd be using a lot more. I liked the idea of using this pan all the time. But cleaning this thing isn't simple. Maybe as I use it more, I'll get used to it.
Anyway, using this pan to cook just for me seemed like a fun idea. When I see this pan, it reminds me of baked eggs. I eat eggs every day and I like to eat them raw sometimes. I have 5 grown chickens. Sadly I don't get to eat my chickens' eggs every day. They are not laying much lately. I guess they are molting because of the change of the season. The thought of butchering them instead of almost keeping as pets cross my mind all the time. But I'm not a real farmer and the kids name our chickens. Hence the family insists on keeping them even if they never lay eggs. Luckily I had 3 of our eggs still in the fridge from the last week.
This is a super easy dish to make for one or two people and it kinda made my day special. Warm and cozy feeling was all around. Have a happy fall cooking everyone!!

I am a software developer with a CS background. While my background in CS has armed me with the techniques, algorithms and tools to do my job; creating useful software for a real business requires a greater knowledge of both the problem domain and effective working practices than of the latest and greatest algorithms. I'm very much into learning things from the ground up. I think that learning assembly language and C has made me a much better programmer.

Oak Park and River Forest police to crack down on impaired drivers
By Devin Rose
Oak Park and River Forest police will be on the lookout for motorists driving under the influence or not wearing seatbelts in the coming weeks.
The enforcement period for the "Drive Sober of Get Pulled Over" and "Click It or Ticket" campaigns runs from Dec. 19 through Jan. 1, according to releases from both departments.
Between midnight and 3 a.m., the highest percentage of drivers are operating vehicles under the influence and the lowest percentage are wearing seatbelts, according to data from the Illinois Department of Transportation and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
Police are encouraging residents to plan ahead by designating a sober driver, make sure passengers are buckled up and report impaired drivers to law enforcement.

I think I figured out how someone can get out of trouble if they are stopped during the times stated in the article. If you are pulled over and think you might be impaired b/c your seat belt is around your fore head acting as a sweat band just set the hands on your watch to 4:00AM and tell the police authority that they can't stop you since they are one hour past the designated time. I usually charge $125.00 per hour to represent youts in Maybrook but b/c it is the holidays the price is $155.00

The staff clearly take pride in their work and are courteous and eager to accommodate any of your needs. Special mention must go to the housekeeping staff who were unobtrusive but efficient. I eagerly anticipate my next stay.

Brett Ratner Accepts GLAAD Award: 'I Learned a Valuable Lesson' (Exclusive Video)
The director, who resigned from producing the Oscars after being caught using a gay slur, told an audience in New York that he "has love in [his] heart" as he accepted the Ally Award.
Brett Ratner stood on the stage and ran down the list of things he was called in the fall of 2011.
"Homophobe. Bigot. Gay-basher. Ignorant frat boy. Fat, Jewish pig," the Rush Hour director rattled off. "I was called all of these names when I foolishly used a gay slur in a misguided attempt to be funny during an interview. Do I believe what I was called to be true? Aside from the Jewish and fat part? No, absolutely not. But I learned a valuable lesson: A word can matter, whether it's said with malice or a joke."
STORY: 'Smash,' 'Amazing Race' Win GLAAD Awards
Ratner was on the stage at the GLAAD awards in Manhattan a year and a half after he used the word "fag" in a question-and-answer-session for his film, Tower Heist. Outrage quickly built, and he resigned from producing the 2012 Oscars soon after. Ever since, he has worked to rehab his image, including making several PSAs for GLAAD.
He was given the Ally Award on Saturday night and told the audience he had learned a valuable lesson.
"Being insulted for using the word cannot compare to the experience of any young gay man or woman who has been the target of offensive slurs or derogatory comments," Ratner said in his brief speech.
Prior to the ceremony, GLAAD president Herndon Graddick, who later joined Ratner onstage, praised the director for the work he has done.
"He's gone further than anyone I've ever seen at showing how he really feels about the LGBT community," Graddick told The Hollywood Reporter. "He was really committed to make a difference, not just with us but with GLSEN; he held a fundraiser at his home to elect the first lesbian mayor of New York [Christine Quinn]. I believe he was never a homophobe, and I value all of his contributions and consider him a friend."

When the character Maverick from the movie Top Gun exclaimed, "I feel the need, the need for speed", you'd be forgiven for mistaking it for a sound bite from a CIO discussing their transactional databases. Whether it's a financial organization predicting share prices, a bank knowing whether it can approve a loan or a marketing organisation reaching consumers with a compelling promotional offer, the need to access, store, process and analyze data as quickly as possible is an imperative for any business looking to gain a competitive edge. Hence when in 2011, SAP announced their new in-memory platform HANA for enterprise applications everyone took note as they coined the advantage of real-time analytics. SAP HANA promised to not just make databases dramatically faster like traditional business warehouse accelerator systems but instead speed up the front end, enabling companies to run arbitrary, complex queries on billions of records in a matter of seconds as opposed to hours. The vendors of old legacy traditional databases were facing a major challenge, most notably the king of them all...Oracle.
The Birth and Emergence of Big Data
Back in the days of mainframe, you'd find the application and transactional data of reporting databases physically stored in the same system. This was due to applications, operating systems and databases being designed to maximize their hardware resources, which consequently meant you couldn't process transactions and process report simultaneously. The bottleneck here was cost, in that if you wanted to scale you needed another mainframe.
After the advent of client servers where applications could run on a centralized database server via multiple and cost effective servers, scalability was achieved by simply adding additional application servers. Regardless, of this a new bottleneck was quickly established with systems relying on a single database server and requests from ever increasing application servers that ended up causing I/O stagnation. This problem became exasperated with OLTP (online transaction processing), where report creation required the system to concurrently read multiple tables in the database. Added to this servers and processors kept getting faster while disks (despite the emergence of SSD) were quickly becoming the bottleneck to automated processes that were producing large amounts of data that concurrently resulted in more report requests.
The net effect was a downward spiral where the increase of users requiring an increase of reports from the databases meant an increase in huge amounts of data being requested from disks that simply weren't up to the job. When you then factored in the data proliferation of external users caused by the Internet and pressure inducing laws such as Sarbanes-Oxley, the demand to analyze even more data even quicker has reached fever point. With data and user volumes increasing by a factor of thousands compared to the I/O capability of databases, the transaction-based industry faced a challenge that required a dramatic shift and change. Cue the 2011 emergence of SAP's HANA.
Real-Time In Memory Platform Presents a Groundbreaking Approach
One of the major advantages of SAP HANA's ability to run in real time is that it offers a non-requirement for data redundancy as it's built to run as a single database. With clusters of affordable and scalable servers, transactional and analytical data are run on the same database, hence eliminating different types of databases for different application needs. Oracle on the other hand has built an empire on exactly the opposite.
Oracle has thrived on a model where generally companies start with a simple database that's utilized for checking sales orders and ensuring product delivery to customers but as the business grows they need more databases with different and more demanding functions. Functions such as managing customer relationships, complex reporting and analysis drives a need for new databases that are separate from the actual business requiring data to be moved from one system to another. Eventually you have a sprawl of databases as existing ones are unable to handle the workloads making it almost impossible to track data movements yet alone attain real time updates. So while the Oracle marketing machine is also pitching the benefits of in-memory via its Exalytics appliance and in-memory database, TimesTen, Oracle are certainly in no rush to break this traditional model of database sprawl and the money-spinning licenses that come with it.
Looking closely at the Oracle Exalytics / TimesTen package, despite the hype, it merely is just an add-on product meaning that an end user will still need a license for the transactional database, another license for the data warehouse database and yet another license for TimesTen for Oracle Exalytics.
Moreover, the Oracle bolt-on approach serves to sell more of their hardware commodity and in some ways perversely justify their acquisition of SUN Microsystems, all at the expense of the customer. Due to the Exalytics approach continuing the traditional requirement for transactional data to be duplicated from the application to the warehouse and once again to Exalytics, the end user not only ends up with three copies of the data, they also have to have three levels of storage and servers. In contrast SAP HANA is designed to be a single database that runs both transactional applications and Business Warehouse deployments. Not only does SAP HANA's one copy of data replace the two or three required for Oracle it also eliminates the need for materialized views, redundant aggregates and indexes leaving a significantly reduced data footprint.
Comparing HANA to Oracle's TimesTen and Exalytics
As expected Oracle have already initiated their FUD team with bogus claims and untruths against HANA as well as even pushing their TimesTen as a like for like comparison. Where this is hugely flawed is that they fail to acknowledge or admit that SAP HANA is a completely groundbreaking design as opposed to a bolt-on approach. With SAP HANA data is completely managed and accessed in RAM consequently doing away with the requirement of MOLAP, multiple indexes and other tuning features that Oracle pride themselves on.
Furthermore, despite the Oracle FUD, SAP HANA does indeed handle both unstructured and structured data, as well as utilise parallel queries for scaling out across server nodes. In this instance Oracle are trying hard to create the most confusion and subsequently detract the market from realizing that the TimesTen with Exalytics package still can't scale out beyond the 1TB RAM limit unlike SAP HANA where each container can store up to 500TB of data all executable at high speed.
With an aggressive TCO and ROI model compared to a traditional Oracle deployment, SAP HANA also proves a lot more cost effective. With pricing based on an incremental of 64GB RAM and the total amount of data held in memory, licenses are fully inclusive of production and test/development requirements as well as the necessary tools.
SAP HANA's Embracing of VMware
Furthermore with Oracle's belligerent stance towards VMware and the cost savings it brings to end users, SAP on the other hand has embraced it. The recent announcement that SAP HANA is supporting VMware vSphere will provide them a vast competitive advantdge, as it will enable customers to provision instances of SAP HANA in minutes as VM templates, as well as gain benefits such as Dynamic Resource Scheduling and vSphere vMotion. By virtualizing SAP HANA with VMware, end users can quickly have several smaller HANA instances all sharing a single physical server leading to better utilization of existing resources. With the promise of certified preconfigured and optimised converged infrastructures such as the Vblock around the corner, SAP HANA appliances could be shipped with vSphere 5 and SAP HANA pre-installed within days, enabling rapid deployment for businesses.
The Business Benefits of Real-Time
With business and transactions being done in real time, SAP HANA ensures that the data and the analytics that come with them are also in real time. The process of manually polling data from multiple systems and sorting them through are inadequate in a time when businesses are facing unpredictable economic conditions and volatile demand and complex supply chains. The need is for real time metrics that are aligned to supply and demand where a retailers' shelves can accurately and immediately be stocked eliminating unnecessary inventory costs, lost sales opportunities and failed product launches. Being able to instantly analyze data at any level of granularity enables a business to quickly respond to these market insights and take decisive actions such as transferring inventory between distribution centers based on expected sales or altering the prices of promotions based on customer demand. Instead of waiting for processes that take hours, days or even weeks, SAP HANA's real time capabilities enable businesses to react in real time to incidents.
Ultimately SAP HANA is a revolutionary step forward that will empower organizations to focus more on the business and less on the infrastructure that supports them. With the promise of new applications being built by SAP to support real time decision making as well being able to run existing applications, SAP HANA presents the opportunity to not only transform a business but also the underlying technology that supports it.

When it comes to IoT in the enterprise, namely the commercial building and hospitality markets, a benefit not getting the attention it deserves is energy efficiency, and IoT's direct impact on a cleaner, greener environment when installed in smart buildings. Until now clean technology was offered piecemeal and led with point solutions that require significant systems integration to orchestrate and deploy. There didn't exist a 'top down' approach that can manage and monitor the way a Smart Building actually breathes - immediately flagging overheating in a closet or over cooling in unoccupied ho...

Mobile messaging has been a popular communication channel for more than 20 years. Finnish engineer Matti Makkonen invented the idea for SMS (Short Message Service) in 1984, making his vision a reality on December 3, 1992 by sending the first message ("Happy Christmas") from a PC to a cell phone. Since then, the technology has evolved immensely, from both a technology standpoint, and in our everyday uses for it. Originally used for person-to-person (P2P) communication, i.e., Sally sends a text message to Betty – mobile messaging now offers tremendous value to businesses for customer and empl...

Hi out there! Is anyone having bed time issues? How do you get your LO's to bed? We have a routine but he stalls every night. He comes out of his room and just 'hangs out.' He doesn't end up falling asleep sometimes until 10pm. Thanks....
Anyone Having Hard Time Putting LO to Bed?

ODD is doing this some nights also. As PP said, it is the nap. On days we have no nap bedtime is earlier. It is not that she is difficult to put to sleep, it is the time mostly. If she does take a nap and then is up late, she likes to come out of her room. I don't fight her on it, I just simply tell her to go back to her room and that she can lay in bed and read a book or something, but because Sissy is sleeping she has to stay in her room and be quiet. Every so often she will come out again, but she gets the same answer of back to her room with a goodnight and I love you. She is so funny that once she is ready for bed she will turn off her own light and go to sleep (usually 9:30 or 10)

My 2 cents keep going w the naps its a phase. Sleep begets sleep!!!!! I am a true believer in the more sleep the better. We just got out of the phase this week. Back to going to bed at 8pm up at 7am and a 1.5-2 hour nap.....
I agree about keeping the nap! If your LO is taking it willingly, then he needs the sleep. JMO.
Maybe I'm reading between the lines and making a poor assumption, but if you're letting him come and hang out - that's the real problem. I mean, there are plenty of times that I stay up later than I should because there is something more amusing going on instead!
Don't give him a choice. Draw a line in the sand and lovingly enforce the bedtime routine you have.
Things are beautiful if you love them. ~ Jean Anouilh
Okey dokey! I think I will keep his nap for now. Even if he doesn't nap, we still have the same issues at night for some reason. And thanks for pointing out the 'hanging out' thing. I just get tired of directing him back to bed so often that I tend to ignore him and he'll just kind of hover near me or sit on the floor and watch what we're doing.
We've tried the 'I'll be back to check on you in 2 minutes' and that worked for a while. I think we should go back to that. If you have any other ideas, feel free to post. Thanks so much!
NewSouthMom recommended Sleepless in America a while back--and I got it (used for like $5) and am in the middle of reading it. It is really good. It basically says that a lot of the behaviors that we loathe in our kids can be traced back to being sleep deprived. 3 year old kids need about 12 hours a day, everyday, and at consistent times. We have to create situations that promote sleep, respect sleep, and allow sleep--for our whole families. We've been implimenting some of the things they recommend in the book and it has been helping a lot on all fronts--making bed time and wake up time easier. We still have a ways to go, but I see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Sarah: born 9-25-09 @ 39 wks via C-section.
So, we've tried to keep putting him to bed. He's getting better at staying in his room because we don't let him 'hang out.' But now he tells us that he doesn't want to sleep in his room. He wants to sleep somewhere else. He fell asleep on the carpet tonight after crying. That was about close to 9:30pm.... (sigh).
Thanks for the book recommendation, sixswansflying. I just requested it from the library!
Hey, cool -- I'm glad to see my recommendation was helpful! I read the kindle version for $8 and it was WELL worth it. It really does have useful suggestions, and definitely keeping the nap is one of them.
I know it will help you. Poor little guy falling asleep on the carpet after a big cry! There are efforts you can make to help him feel safe and relaxed in his sleep "nest" and hopefully you can find out what things are making him feel scared about sleeping in his own room. The book will have good suggestions that truly do work (like making sure our little ones get plenty of exercise during the day and ways to make them feel more relaxed all day long rather than build up tension that comes out at bedtime).
My dear, happy girl was born in mid-August 2009. I've been married many years and am definitely an "older mom."

Harnitchek: Audit readiness, contract award-time top priorities
Supporting the equipment drawdown in Afghanistan, achieving audit readiness, and decreasing the time it takes to award contracts are among the Defense Logistics Agency's top priorities in 2014, DLA Director Navy Vice Adm. Mark Harnitchek said during a Director's Call Feb. 12.
Discussing operations in Afghanistan, Harnitchek noted that DLA Disposition Services cut up 130 million pounds of equipment at operating bases throughout the country in the last quarter of 2013. And the mission is expected to vastly increase this year, he added.
"Our strategy is to have so much capacity there that no matter what comes our way, we'll be able to swallow it whole. … We don't want to be holding up the effort," Harnitchek said.
The agency is disposing of material at customers' locations to limit convoys and the amount of time warfighters are subject to enemy action.
"Everything that we destroy in place is a convoy that doesn't take place, and it's less Soldiers out there in the battle space," he said.
Harnitchek summed up the agency's 2013 accomplishments by noting that material availability is over 90 percent for most supply chains, and backorders are down by 18 percent. Backorders are down a total of 33 percent since 2012. Inventory management has also improved, with the agency going from $14 billion in inventory down to $10 billion.
"Just ponder that for a minute: Our wholesale performance is better than it's ever been; we have fewer backorders than we've ever had; and we're doing it with about $4 billion less in inventory. Think about that; that's really impressive," he said.
In 2014, the agency must focus on decreasing the time it takes to award contracts, he continued. The timespan for large contracts is currently as high as 500 days, but Harnitchek is setting a goal of 270 days or less. Small purchases, such as those made with government purchase cards, currently take several months, but should take no more than a couple of weeks.
DLA will also work with the new Defense Health Agency to decrease the amount of money DoD spends on health care for service members, families and retirees by $2 billion to $3 billion in fiscal 2014.
"I think there are huge opportunities to continue world-class health care but to do it for a whole lot less money," the director said.
Harnitchek stressed that every employee in DLA has a part in the agency's goal of achieving audit readiness by the end of 2015. Regardless of a person's position or rank, everyone should ensure processes are well documented and be aware of and follow policies and rules, he added.
The director also announced that employees will get the chance to rate their job satisfaction this spring with a new DLA Culture Survey that is confidential and voluntary. The agency has traditionally scored well in categories such as work-life balance and telework. The previous survey, conducted in 2012, revealed that employees were less satisfied with performance and recognition, and that employees wanted more opportunity for employee empowerment.
After encouraging employees to participate in the survey, Harnitchek said all employees should feel empowered.
"I want you to go out there and do things. Nobody knows this stuff like you do; you know what's wrong with things; you know what needs to be fixed, so take a crack at fixing it. Ask yourself that question, 'If I'm not going to do this, who's going to do it?'" he said.
