Survey finds tight budgets, furloughs and an aging workforce contribute to shortage
State governments are facing critical IT personnel shortages, according to a recent report by the National Association of State Chief Information Officers. And many of the causes that NASCIO identified are similar to measures being proposed for the federal workforce.
"State layoffs, furloughs, hiring freezes and lack of salary increases [have] exacerbated this situation," wrote Chad Grant, NASCIO policy analyst and author of the study, "State IT Workforce: Under Pressure - A National Survey of the States." The other major contributor, a substantial number of state employees at or nearing retirement age, could also affect the federal workforce.
Forty states, the District of Columbia and one territory responded to the Web-based survey, which was completed in November. The survey benchmarked data from NASCIO's 2007 survey on the same subject, "State IT Workforce: Here Today, Gone Tomorrow?" and found that although the issue is more pressing today, the worst may be yet to come, because many older workers have held off on retiring due to the down economy.

Nearly two-thirds of respondents anticipate having to reduce staff and, consistent with the 2007 survey, nearly a quarter of state CIOs predict that between 21 and 30 percent of state IT employees will be eligible for retirement in the next five years. Twenty-nine percent anticipate that between 31 and 50 percent of their IT employees will be eligible for retirement in the same time period.
An aging workforce and tight budgets are only part of the problem, however. In a survey by the International Information System Security Certification Consortium, or ISC-Squared, many respondents blamed a shortage of IT security personnel on a limited talent pool. Nearly half said that current information security certification programs, which are increasingly required in both government and the private sector, are inadequate and do not address the needed skills.
"There are not enough people to go around," Philip Reitinger, deputy undersecretary at the Homeland Security Department's National Protection and Programs Directorate said in November. "And getting them is really hard."
The greatest challenges, however, are hiring freezes and elimination of vacant positions. The average anticipated staff reduction was 10 percent, with the lowest reported at 2 percent and the highest 20 percent. And the federal workforce is facing similar pressures. Already a two-year salary freeze is in place. Meanwhile, various bills propose measures such as 10-day furloughs for federal employees or reducing the overall size of the workforce by 10 percent. Others propose increasing the existing salary freeze to three years or more.

Canada and India are working toward shared services models with co-operative code bases. This reduces cost and standardizes without a rigidly identical view. In the private sector, we see this in something like Salesforce, where one changes the skin, and even the visible field titles although the underpinning code is common. In the case of India, at the Federal level, there is a shared consultancy core to the states. Canada is using more of a services core approach, in their case going through the consolidation struggle, first with the internet issues. Significant cost savings if applied at state, county, city, and village level could result, and, at the same time extend the workforce. Many of the existing systems, to my knowledge, live in old spaces not suited to cloud, that require specialized hardware - locking in higher cost. If pursued in a cloud approach, reuse aspects could be quite something. The politics would be hard, not so much between the IT professionals as between the user base, fearing change.

The goal is to make it more challenging before the next British Open at St. Andrews in 2015.

November 29, 2012 An eight month investigation into phone hacking and other abuses by British newspapers has concluded that the industry needs a powerful new watchdog with some legal powers to wield carrots and sticks. Judge Brian Leveson, who led the inquiry, says the watchdog would be independent and insists that it "cannot reasonably or fairly be be characterized as statutory regulation of the press." But Prime Minister David Cameron, who commissioned the investigation, voiced doubts about that, saying "I think it would be a dereliction of our duty in this House of Commons that has stood up for freedom and for free press year after year, century after century, to cross a Rubicon of legislating about the press without thinking about it very carefully, first." Cameron's stance angered victims of tabloid hacking. Said one "I think he's gone back on his word and I feel betrayed."

Re: Internet very slow in response to i3f Solved
If you want to want to try to resolve the wifi issue you may want to try the following. No guarantee that it'll fix things, but the suggestions have helped some users with connection issues.
Add these OpenDNS settings in Network preferences (make a note of the number that is currently in your settings in case you want to revert):
http://use.opendns.com/#mac and then test.
Some on here don't advocate using OpenDNS, many others do. I use them myself. More info on OpenDNS:

Was on the phone with support last night and in going over everything I have done up to this point. First having cable company check the service which was ok. Buying a new wireless router(didnt help). Talking with support.
Support said it could be both Optical Drive and Processor. Also not happy about the dust particles behind the screen. Computer is about 60 days old and first Apple/Mac product I have ever had issues with.

Flight crews and air marshals say Middle Eastern men are staking out airports, probing security measures and conducting test runs aboard airplanes for a terrorist attack.
At least two midflight incidents have involved numerous men of Middle Eastern descent behaving in what one pilot called "stereotypical" behavior of an organized attempt to attack a plane.
"No doubt these are dry runs for a terrorist attack," an air marshal said.
Pilots and air marshals who asked to remain anonymous told The Washington Times that surveillance by terrorists is rampant, using different probing methods.
"It's happening, and it's a sad state of affairs," a pilot said.
A June 29 incident aboard Northwest Airlines Flight 327 from Detroit to Los Angeles is similar to a Feb. 15 incident on American Airlines Flight 1732 from San Juan, Puerto Rico, to New York's John F. Kennedy Airport.
The Northwest flight involved 14 Syrian men and the American Airlines flight involved six men of Middle Eastern descent.
"I've never been in a situation where I have felt that afraid," said Annie Jacobsen, a business and finance feature writer for the online magazine Women's Wall Street who was aboard the Northwest flight.
The men were seated throughout the plane pretending to be strangers. Once airborne, they began congregating in groups of two or three, stood nearly the entire flight, and consecutively filed in and out of bathrooms at different intervals, raising concern among passengers and flight attendants, Mrs. Jacobsen said.
One man took a McDonald's bag into the bathroom, then passed it off to another passenger upon returning to his seat. When the pilot announced the plane was cleared for landing and to fasten seat belts, seven men jumped up in unison and went to different bathrooms.
Her account was confirmed by David Adams, spokesman for the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's Federal Air Marshal Service (FAMS), who said officers were on board and checked the bathrooms several times during the flight, but nothing was found.
"The FAMS never broke their cover, but monitored" the activity, Mr. Adams said. "Given the facts, they had no legal basis to take an enforcement action. But there was enough of a suspicious nature for the FAMS, passengers and crew to take notice."
A January FBI memo says suicide terrorists are plotting to hijack trans-Atlantic planes by smuggling "ready-to-build" bomb kits past airport security, and later assembling the explosives in aircraft bathrooms.
On many overseas flights, airlines have issued rules prohibiting loitering near the lavatory.
"After seeing 14 Middle Eastern men board separately (six together and eight individually) and then act as a group, watching their unusual glances, observing their bizarre bathroom activities, watching them congregate in small groups, knowing that the flight attendants and the pilots were seriously concerned and now knowing that federal air marshals were on board, I was officially terrified," Mrs. Jacobsen said.

I do not know what it is, but I can guess.
Nuzlocke is a site that has a web comic called "Pokemon Hard Mode." The guy plays through the game with some pretty strict rules...Google Nuzlocke Pokemon Hard Mode and it'll pretty much outline what the rules are for hard mode.
I assume the Nuzlocke Challenge is playing the game in the manner it is played in the comic strip.

Cashner Sails Against the Wind
My wife and I went to the I-Cub game tonight with friends. Free general admission for a donation to an organization that provides those in need with the "basic essentials." We got in for a can of shaving cream, a couple bars of soap, a toothbrush and a disposable razor.
It was a beautiful night with a breeze whipping out of the south @ 20-25 mph. A misty spray from the grounds crew hosing down the infield carried all the way to our seats behind the Iowa bullpen down the third baseline. My buddy and I agreed that a slugfest was in store.
I was surprised when Andrew Cashner came out and started throwing long toss. He was supposed to start tomorrow with an extra day of rest as a result of the team's off day earlier in the week. I didn't have a notebook or a pen or anything to make notes with plus I felt sorry for anybody having to pitch in the hitter-friendly conditions.
Well, Iowa won 1-0 in the Madduxian time of 1:52, the team's 11th win in 12 tries! The game proceeded so briskly that an extended intermission was required before the post-game fireworks show could launch - it wasn't dark enough yet!
Cashner retired the first 13 hitters he faced. He left after seven innings, 95 pitches, no walks, seven strikeouts and one hit batsman. He's now won all three of his Triple A starts and sports a glittering ERA of 0.95.
His fastball was at the knees or lower all night and clocking in the mid-90's.
Why did he pitch tonight? Maybe Oneri Fleita can answer that one. I thought I saw him on the field walking toward the team's clubhouse after the game ended. No doubt he was on his way to filing a glowing report on what he'd just seen in Des Moines.
I've seen headshots of Cashner before and watched him throw a couple of innings on TV in spring training. But in person he reminded me some of Jeff Weaver - blonde and lanky; hard-throwing.
In the managerial department the Iowa skipper ran the team out of a possible insurance run that wasn't needed after all when he wheeled Matt Camp around third with one out in the bottom of the 8th to try and score on Jim Adduci's single to center. Camp was out before he could even consider whether or not to slide. Adduci, by the way, made the play of the game when he leaped at the wall to snag a blast with the tying run on base and two outs in the top of the 7th. He also fielded the first hit off Cashner in the 5th when it came off the wall in left-center and held the hitter to a single. Those were the only two hard hit balls by either team all night.
Now I can go to a couple of graduation parties tomorrow afternoon instead of the ballpark. I may have just come from one tonight.
Re: Cashner Sails Against the Wind
Thanks for the notes, Mike W!
Great report, MW.
If Cashner is going to the big leagues then where does he end up? Bullpen is still the biggest need for the team, as they have 6 starters already and Gorzo didn't break anything in his hand. Would Zambrano destroy the city Godzilla style if Cashner took Gorz's spot in the rotation and Z stayed in the pen?
I realize that they are keeping Cashner on the SP track, so I don't know how they could call up their 7th starter when the bullpen is still shit. I thought Jackson was going to come up to the bullpen, but maybe the Howry signing changes that? Is Jackson still working out of the pen in Iowa?
Great news on the game you were able to watch - but I don't see where they can put him now if they call him up.
Re: Cashner Sails Against the Wind
Wow - I think at this point it's safe to say Cashner is exceeding every Cubs Fan's expectations.
Re: Cashner Sails Against the Wind
Thanks MW for the eye-witness report...
Looking at the box score, Darwin Barney continues to hit and Brian Schiltter has 4 saves. Any thoughts on these two and their progress?
Re: Cashner Sails Against the Wind
Fun fact...cubs are 5-0 when Starlin Castro bats 2nd...so if Castro bats 2nd and Silva pitches
Add the 5 mph to Silva's pitches if Koyie Hill catches...
Albert vs. LaRussa
LaRussa calls for a steal with 2 outs and Albert up and Ludwick gets thrown out to end the inning.
Albert flipped his bat and helmet in disgust, then knocked over two trays of gum in the home dugout. La Russa yelled "that's enough," and after a few moments added "I (expletive) know how to manage."
Re: Albert vs. LaRussa
Am I the only one whose mind reels at the phrase "trays of gum?"
Re: Cashner Sails Against the Wind
Thanks Mike!
I am on the fence on what to do with Cashner. In the long-run, he needs to be a starter. At this pace, he should start 2011 in the rotation. He is still relatively new to starting in his career, and I hate to take him out of that groove because of our dire bullpen need in the majors.
I guess is all depends on what direction the big league club is headed: If we are contending, we probably need to bring him up for the 'Pen. If not, we leave him in Iowa for now, and probably start him if we trade away starting pitching ahead of the deadline, which if we are out of it we absolutely should be doing. IF this club can't win the division, Lilly (with permission) and Silva should be on the block, with Cashner filling a rotation slot.

Look Ma, no ARam...
CarrieMuskat: #cubs sun lineup 2b riot, ss castro, 1b lee, cf byrd, lf sori, rf nady, 3b baker, dh soto, c hill
whats not to hate (Castro in the 2 hole?...obviously in a lineup kind of way)
Re: Cashner Sails Against the Wind
I have a bad feeling we're going to have a Homer Howry sighting today. Hope the Koyie 5 mph effect leads to a Silva complete game.
Re: Cashner Sails Against the Wind
Is Howry carrying the pink backpack?
Re: Cashner Sails Against the Wind
Lima time is officially over.
Jose Lima-Lime dies of a heart attack...37 years old. yow.
Re: Cashner Sails Against the Wind
Holy shit. Pretty rare for a 37 year old to have a heart attack...
Re: Cashner Sails Against the Wind
yeah...he was in LA last night for an on-field sideshow thing for the dodgers.
hope it wasn't "party-related"...either way, wow...37.
Re: Cashner Sails Against the Wind
I feel terrible for Ms. Lima and the twins.

Re: Cashner Sails Against the Wind
Grabow in to be a loogy vs Hamilton...
Another failure.
Where's Lou's DOGHOUSE?
And Howry is warming up...
Maybe the threat of Howry will straighten out Grabow?
Not in Chicago, watching on Gamecast
Did Silva get hurt?
Re: Cashner Sails Against the Wind
nope...pulled with 0 on to get a lefty in vs. hamilton.
i don't understand why grabes was picked over russell...or why he was pitching to cruz.
...or why he's working the next inning.

Re: Cashner Sails Against the Wind
grabow leaves after blooper hit and a walk... Typical.
howdy howry. one can hope but it looks bleak
Re: Cashner Sails Against the Wind
welcome to the cubs howry...your new cubs career is 2 minutes old and you've given up a run.
...at least it's not earned...sigh.
Re: Cashner Sails Against the Wind
Grabow has appeared in 21 games now with an ERA of almost 9.00, at what point does the cost he is incurring to the team out-weigh any benefit the team gets from a Grabow who has "worked things out" for the remainder of the year?
Re: Cashner Sails Against the Wind
the problem is his stuff is still good...he's just getting consistantly crapped on.
like aram, he'll probably right the ship eventually...unlike aram, righting the ship is reverting to a slightly-above-average inning-guy.
Re: Cashner Sails Against the Wind
They should just let Marshall and Gorz pitch innings 6-8 on alternate days. Fuck the rest of the bullpen. Fuck em right in the ear.

Re: Home Run Howry

Re: Cashner Sails Against the Wind
is it just me or was this rangers cubs series some good watchin?
Re: Cashner Sails Against the Wind
I kinda like this Castro kid. Seems like whenever the opposing pitcher tries to fool him with breaking stuff down and away -- I guess they all think he's Shawon Dunston -- he just lays off the pitch. And when they don't go out far enough he reaches out and belts it to right field. Lots of times for fouls but that's okay.
I haven't seen him pull the ball at all yet but I have not seen him a lot of his ABs. So I wonder if he's vulnerable to some inside stuff. But even if he is that's harder to pull off as a pitcher and easier to make a mistake on.
The Rangers broadcasters this weekend had this discussion:
playbyplay guy: "He's had 5 strikeouts in 45 at bats. 20 year olds aren't supposed to be able to do that."
color guy: "20 year olds aren't supposed to be in the major leagues."
He's now got 6 strikeouts in 60 at bats. Not sure how many PAs.
Apparently he hasn't received the manual yet on how to be a true Cubs rookie.
It'll be interesting to see where he is two months from now as the scouts and teams try to fish for weaknesses.
In the meantime, I like him in the 2 hole until/if they figure him out.
Re: Cashner Sails Against the Wind
He pulled the ball some in Spring Training. He's not Theriot at the plate--he's got much quicker hands and seems to have the ability to adjust with them very easily to pitches up, down, in and out, and he takes a pretty aggressive swing every now and then. At some point pitchers will try busting him up and in with fastballs. I think that if he can lay off the ball out of the zone, he might cash in some of the ones in the zone for a few doubles and maybe a homerun--but probably more top spin liners to left. I'm very encouraged by Castro at the plate as well.
Re: Cashner Sails Against the Wind
It's becoming a little more obvious now why the Deter Jeter comparisons started getting thrown around late last year. He's got excellent bat control and a quick bat. Pitchers haven't really tried hammering him with high heat, but I imagine he'll just hit line drives to right when they do.
Re: Cashner Sails Against the Wind
Clearly he had some jitters in his first few games, but he's making plays now and making things happen defensively. With the bat, I don't think we'll know what he's really made of until he has a rough patch and we can see what kind of adjustments he makes. I agree with what you all are saying, though... he has a nice swing and fast hands. I think as long as he keeps his head screwed on he'll be alright.

James Russell elected free agency.
based on what SF has been doing every other year lately, getting access to the postseason playoffs seems to be what's important. bring on dat short series!
that said, skipping the sudden death 1-game WC would be nice from here on out.
I know what you are saying, but I feel compelled to point out that there's no such thing as luck, curses, etc. The Cubs this year have as good as a chance as the Pirates to move on to the next round. If the Cubs proceed to the next round or not tomorrow, it will not be because of luck, but because one team outlasted the other. When/if the Cubs are lucky enough to make it to the league series, that's where they may find their biggest challenge. The Dodgers have a good, deep pitching staff.
debuting the new format 1 game "sudden death" WC matchup at yankee stadium does a perfect job of showing the intense emotion and drama this game can be.
that said, i'm ready to not see yankee stadium or hear fans at yankee stadium for another 5 and 1/2 months. at least i don't have to sit through the braves with their "tommy hawk chawp" this postseason.
i'd like to know why the mlb.tv internet radio feed of the game (which is always delayed by a few seconds at best) is almost a minute faster than the ESPN cable TV coverage. wtf?
i dont know what order they'll be in, but i pretty much expect fowler/schwarb/rizzo/bryant/montero/castro/lastella/arrieta. any change at all (aside from the first 4 guys) wouldn't shock me, though. coghlan is still a wildcard in the lineup equation...plus joe could always march d.ross out there with very slow arrieta pitching.
Yup. Have to agree. Baseball, like golf, certainly has that psych component for the player. There is no real reason why a fielding position should affect a batting average. The Cubs are 106 years over due for a little luck. Don't you guys think so? Maybe the rookies can bring some dumb luck on.
probably stacking capable lefties vs cole while keeping the "hot" castro in the game. fwiw, he's 1-6 lifetime with 0 bb/k vs cole (double).
i chalk bryant's issues at the plate while playing OF up to coincidence so far.
I will call your dead horse, "Trigger".
In one game, when anything is possble, I am glad that Joe Maddon is our Manager.
He knows the stats better than all of us. It would seem, IF La Stella gets the start at 3B, it will be only up to the point that they were to get the lead (crosses fingers). From everything I have read, the game will be managed like a hoops game: offense/defense. So expect La Stella to be out of the game by the 5th. This team is incredibly deep which is so surprising. We never woulda thunk it.
i don't know what their roster plans are, but j.herrera is out there practicing with the team.
i can't imagine him making any roster, though. dude had 4 PA the entire month of sept. him being a good dude to be around while keeping the clubhouse loose seems to be his main role at this point.
I know it's my own personal dead horse to beat --but Bryant has been a lousy hitter when playing the OF this year. Given that it's his first playoff game, I really hope they keep him in his natural position and don't mess with his routine.
Lousy as in 8-for-45 with one XBH and no HR. Small sample and all that -- but why take the chance?
hard to tell what's up given they'll probably want to stack as many good lefties into the lineup as possible.
castro being a bit hot doesn't help things. if he was still cool they'd probably stick la stella at 2nd and call it a day.
Madden won't announce lineups but Stella is practicing at 3rd and Bryant in LF today. I'd rather see Bryant at 3rd but I guess Stella has been hotter than Coghlan.
/edit. Though I guess they could be practicing this with the idea Stella would come in as a PH then double switch him to 3rd base and Bryant to LF. Hope that's the plan instead
I really like the sound of that idea about expanding the AFL to ten teams. Each org. gets to field more players.
They should do that anyway, regardless of Adv. Instructs.
Dallas Beeler, Corey Black, David Garner, Pierce Johnson, Steve Perakslis, James Pugliese, Duane Underwood Jr, and Rob Zastryzny threw early-morning bullpen side-sessions at Riverview yesterday.
Underwood threw last, and received specific one-on-one instruction from pitching coach Mike Mason.
HAGSAG: There are only five advanced instructs squads left, and presently the only "co-op" team operating is the Angels/Cubs.
The league was originally established as a "parallel" league to the AFL (a sort of "junior AFL"), for players too advanced for traditional ("basic") instructs but who were unable to get placed on AFL rosters due to AFL player-limits.

I have oily, sensitive and flaky scalp. I knew I'd buy this definitely again at the first use. I LOVE everything about this shampoo;amazing suds, pleasant scent of spearmint which is subtle and surprisingly gentle yet squeaky clean. 민감한 지성두피에 비듬도 가끔 생기는 편인데요. 아이허브에서 여러 브랜드의 유해성분 없는 샴푸를 골라 써봤는데 지오바니 골든윗 처럼 안전하면서도 거품이 부드럽고 샴푸가 스무스하게 잘 될 뿐만 아니라 세정력도 우수한 샴푸는 처음입니다. 은은한 스피아민트향 기분 좋구요. 비듬도 사라졌어요. 재구매 100%.

This shampoo really cleans good. It smells great and leaves your scalp tingling. I've been using it for a couple of months and now my husband is using it too. Normally, he stays far away from my shampoos.


text: I am 14 weeks pregnancy and I was planning on getting flu shot this week. Unfortunately I had to rush my husband to the doctor last night as he had 102 fever and flu like symptons. The doctor tested him for the flu and it came back negative however the doctor is saying that the tests tend to not be accurate and he believes he has the flu so he prescibed him tamiflu for the week. Being that I do not have my shot yet and I am at high risk of getting this virus, my obgyn thinks at this point if he does has the flu I'm already infected and she recommended I go on tami flu to take precautions. I've read mixed reviews about the medicine but after researching I think there are more pros than cons. I just wanted to hear if anyone has taken it before during pregnancy and would appreciate your thoughts/advice!! Thanks!

2. Employ social media strategically
Social media can be extremely effective in generating positive word-of-mouth buzz, but it must be done thoughtfully. Simply tweeting and posting status updates to Facebook isn't going to influence patients.
Hospitals must engage in meaningful conversations online in order to drive patients to their organization or a particular service line.
UK HealthCare, which has more than 19,000 Twitter followers, successfully accomplished this with the Runners Clinic. In August 2011, the organization retweeted a tweet from University of Kentucky mentioning the clinic.
Retweeting and responding to tweets mentioning your organization and its service lines is an effective way of letting followers know that other people think your hospital is pretty great, too.
Comments are moderated. Please be patient.

We reported a few days ago that the Cleveland Browns will not use the franchise tag on running back Peyton Hillis, but will try to re-sign him to a multi-year deal.
ESPN's Adam Schefter has confirmed that Hillis will indeed not be franchised.
Schefter also mentioned that Hillis thought about retiring during this past season and joining the CIA. Right now though, it's not clear if he ever pursued a career with the CIA.
At the end of the season, Hillis told some coaches that he was thinking about retiring, but now it seems like he wants to keep playing.
Browns general manager Tom Herkert told ESPN's Josina Anderson that they're willing to re-sign Hillis as long as it would be a reasonable contract.
"If we can work something out with Peyton (Hillis) we will," Heckert told ESPN. "Did he have some rough patches during the season? Yes. Were there stretches where things were blown out of proportion? Yes. Honestly, I feel like a lot of that was blown up in the media. Now, of course things will still come down to the money, but we'll just have to wait and see."Follow PFZ on Twitter @ProFootballZone

Political Watch 10/1/15
• Gov. Jerry Brown signed a bill on Sept. 22, which will give local governments more economic development tools to help improve struggling communities. SB 107 will help cities and counties streamline efforts to enhance affordable housing in areas that need it the most.
"These important new measures enacted today will help boost economic development in some of our most disadvantaged and deserving communities," Brown said.
SB 107, by the Committee on Budget and Fiscal Review, includes provisions that will streamline the current redevelopment agency dissolution process, enhance affordable housing by providing increased statewide funding and improved transparency, and expand the type of loans for which cities and counties can seek reimbursement.
The bill is a response to the state's dissolution of Redevelopment Agencies (RDAs). In order to protect funding for core public services at the local level, the Legislature approved the dissolution of the state's 400 plus RDAs as part of the 2011 Budget Act.
• On Sept. 24, Rep. Lois Capps (D-Santa Barbara) announced that UCSB was awarded, for the first time, a $524,847 grant from the U.S. Department of Education's Developing Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSI) Program.
The HSI grant will expand educational opportunities and improve graduation rates among Hispanic students. The grant will also be used to provide direct services to students that enhance academic offerings, program quality, and institutional stability on campus.
"I am pleased to share this great news as we continue to celebrate UCSB's rich diversity and growing student population," Capps said in a statement. "This grant will go a long way in expanding opportunities for students as they enter and succeed in higher education."
UCSB Executive Vice Chancellor David Marshall said, "This grant from the U.S. Department of Education recognizes the unique opportunities that we can offer to our students. It will help us to support all of our students, to ensure their educational success, and to advance our commitment to excellence and diversity."
"This grant will create tremendous opportunities for all of our students," said Carl Gutiérrez-Jones, interim dean of undergraduate education at UCSB. "With a significant focus on helping first-year students transition successfully to university level academics, this grant will help ensure that California's best and brightest continue on to be leaders in whatever fields they choose."

Brian Silver is named VP, ad platforms in the Americas.
Yahoo hired Brian Silver as VP, ad platforms in the Americas, a job with oversight of the company's Right Media ad exchange. He replaces Ramsey McGrory, who left Yahoo three months ago to become Clearspring's CEO.
Silver takes charge at a busy time for Yahoo's ad platform strategy. The company is preparing to block DSPs and other vendors from using Right Media to buy its remnant ads on behalf of multiple clients - requiring those clients to obtain their own direct seats. And its big ad network deal with AOL and Microsoft has required a considerable development effort to achieve interoperability, a process that's still underway. Both are seen as moves to prop up prices and reinforce Yahoo's Fortune 500 sales ethos.
Silver is a veteran of agencies and ad networks, having served as CEO of Travora Media, previously Travel Ad Network. Before that he held operational roles at NetCash and search agency Didit.
He'll report to Joel Jones, Yahoo's VP of ad marketplaces in the Americas. Jones also oversees Yahoo Network Plus and the company's pricing and yield management functions.
Part of his challenge is to help Right Media scale up its support for real-time bidding. The biggest criticism leveled against Yahoo on the sell-side is that it has failed to innovate around bidding technologies quickly enough, and by resting on its laurels has allowed display ad upstarts like AppNexus and Google ADX to steal large publisher and ad network customers. In November, ad network CPX switched its roughly 2 billion daily ad impressions from Right Media to AppNexus.
In a recent interview with ClickZ, Jones said Right Media still serves between 9 billion and 10 billion daily impressions on its most active days. That's flat compared with October 2010, the last time it disclosed ad serving numbers to ClickZ.
Until March 2012, Zach Rodgers was managing editor of ClickZ's award-winning coverage of news and trends in digital marketing. He reported on the rise of web companies, data markets, ad technologies, and government Internet policy, among other subjects.

Shadow Figures: A Portrait of Life on Texas Death Row
Following the approval of a Texas law that speeds up the appeals process for condemned inmates, the state carried out 24 executions in the first half of 1997, breaking its own record of 20 in the entire year of 1935. When this article originally appeared on the MoJo Wire that year, Robert Wallace West was the next man slated for lethal injection. He was executed the day this article ran. What follows is an unprecedented look into life on the Row.
The majority live out their time in individual cells, 5 feet by 9 feet, equipped with a 6-foot bunk, a steel sink, and a toilet. There's no air conditioning. There is no exercise equipment on the Row. The men clean their own cells. They are issued clean pants and a shirt every three days, and underwear, socks, and a towel every day. Showers, a 10-minute daily ritual, are taken alone.
Those who choose to can work a regular four-hour shift at the garment factory or at a handful of other jobs; some are barbers or Death Row porters, who help serve food to men in lockdown. They are moved to the H wings, where most of them live in double cells, 10 feet by 9 feet, with another man. When a prisoner's execution date arrives, however, he has to leave the work program and move to a higher security Administrative Segregation wing until five days after his stay of execution, if he has received such a stay.
Many men talked about their initial fears in facing Death Row. Once they were convicted and sentenced to die, most believed they would be executed right away. Almost no one anticipates the months or years of waiting, or how living on the Row will change them.
Prisoners spend their time watching TV, reading, writing, listening to the radio, sleeping, and constantly talking. The noise is nonstop -- running conversations, gossip, storytelling, jokes and jive, yells at one another or at shows playing on the TV sets. Guys who aren't restricted "piddle," or make crafts that they sell to pay for stamps, extra food from the commissary, and other items.
The garment factory is the crown jewel of Texas's Death Row. It started as an experiment in 1981 and remains the only prison program in the nation where the entire work force is under a death sentence. Work Capable prisoners are given certain measures of autonomy. The work program is a useful management tool, offering incentives for good behavior that don't otherwise exist for the condemned. The program is controversial among the prisoners, however, and many see it as divisive. Through the years, the privileges given to those who work have helped to create a kind of class system on the Row.
Members of the public who even think about these men generally remember them as they were portrayed when they were caught, or at trial. The death sentence in essence pronounces these men incapable of change, irredeemable, and unfit to live. Once convicted, they become shadow figures, their images frozen in a media frame. But no one is truly suspended in time.
Many of the condemned change dramatically while they are there, some for the better, some for the worse. Other than family and friends of these men, the one group intensely aware of how they change on the Row is family members of their victims. This is another way in which the survivors' lives become unintentionally yet inextricably bound with the condemned, as the survivors track the months and years "their" inmates spend on the Row.
A number of the condemned learn more about themselves while waiting to die than they did in all the years they were free. As one prisoner said, "All we have to talk about is our past," and many spend countless hours trying to make sense of what brought them to Death Row.
Because the conviction and appeals processes appear to be random and arbitrary, and because the men on the Row typically don't have solid information about their cases, explanations infused with superstition about the order of executions have evolved.
Many men believe the Death Row number assigned each prisoner indicates execution order -- the lower the number, the more likely you are to get killed. A variation on this is that when someone with a number near yours gets a date, you soon will, too. The truth is that, since men with low numbers have been there the longest, some anecdotal evidence supports this theory. But judges don't set execution dates by prison numbers. There are also stories of guards having parties before or during executions, and of body parts being sold by the system to medical researchers after executions.
The stories and beliefs are inadvertently supported by the ritualistic way in which the system carries out executions. Every step leading to the final injection is followed, even when the authorities know a court stay is about to be issued -- or has been issued -- to halt the execution.
Thirty-six hours before the appointed time, the man is moved with a few personal effects, like toiletries and writing paper, to the Death Watch cell for observation. He's told to write his will.
The "execution summary" is filled out by the warden at Ellis and then passed along to the warden at the Walls prison, where the death chamber is located.
The prisoner is asked what he wants for a final meal, what color outfit he wishes to wear, and who should be on a final visiting list. An inventory of his property is taken, and he is asked to whom it, as well as any money in his prison account, should be distributed. He is also asked if he wishes to donate his body to the prison medical facility in Galveston or if next of kin will claim the body. The poorest, and the men without family, are buried in the Joe Byrd cemetery, their graves marked only by a simple white cross inscribed with their prison number.
Twenty-four hours before the scheduled execution, the condemned man is taken in shackles to the Walls in a prison van by secret route. Before 1976, execution in Texas was by electric chair, and, until 1995, the killings took place after midnight.
Every movement the prisoner makes in his final hours is observed and logged in excruciating detail by officers, first every 30 minutes, then in 15-minute intervals. At this time the prisoner is entitled to longer visits, and is allowed to call family members and speak to his lawyer. Many men take a shower, brush their teeth, and put on clean clothes before they're taken to the gurney.
Death Row offers society the illusion of finality in the service of justice. It is the "end of the line," yet the ripple effects of each execution reach out and move through us silently, like sound waves. A man takes a life, and we demand that, under specific circumstances, his life be sacrificed in return. When all the legal and political arguments are pushed aside, it seems so basic -- a clean trade. We crave simplicity in executing justice. But there is nothing simple about what we have created in the ritual of executing men.

Evercore Partners With VTB Capital for Russian Transactions
Evercore Partners Inc., the advisory firm founded by former U.S. Deputy Treasury Secretary Roger Altman, said it reached an agreement with VTB Capital Plc to develop deals between Russia and North America.
The alliance will allow the firms to "develop joint business opportunities for cross-border transactions and other projects involving Russian and North American companies, funds, government agencies, individuals and assets," the Moscow-based investment-banking arm of Russia's second-biggest lender said in an e-mailed statement today.
Evercore has expanded outside the U.S. through acquisitions and partnerships. Last year, the company purchased Lexicon Partners Ltd., a London-based advisory firm. Evercore paid $20 million in 2010 for a 50 percent stake in G5 Advisors, a Sao Paulo-based investment-banking boutique founded by Corrado Varoli, a former partner at Goldman Sachs Group Inc.
"As our clients become increasingly global, it is imperative to be able to serve their needs in important markets throughout the world," Ralph Schlosstein, 61, chief executive officer of New York-based Evercore, said in the statement. "This alliance is another step in the globalization of our firm."
Announced deals involving targets, sellers or acquirers in Russia climbed to $98.5 billion so far this year, compared with $67.8 billion for all of 2011, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Global transaction volume stands at $1.76 trillion this year, compared with $2.35 trillion for 2011.
Severstal Deal
Evercore advised OAO Severstal, the Russian steelmaker controlled by billionaire Alexei Mordashov, last year on its sale of three U.S. plants to Renco Group Inc. That was its only Russia deal in 2011, Bloomberg data show.
VTB Capital is continuing to build its international franchise outside of Russia and the former Soviet Union, Riccardo Orcel, deputy CEO of VTB Group, said in the statement. The Russian bank signed an agreement with Brazil's Banco BTG Pactual SA in June to boost financial ties with Latin America.
The bank, which was the leading organizer of Russian debt and equity sales last year, is closing in on other international partnerships, Orcel said in an e-mailed response to questions. "Asia is our next priority."
VTB Capital is ranked 15th in Russian mergers and acquisitions this year, up from 42nd last year, Bloomberg data show.

Cohen & Tate with Eric Red Live
In the 1980s and '90s, Eric Red was hands down the best writer/director of horror and thriller fare. He's the man behind Near Dark, also known as the best vampire movie ever made, period. Among his less well-known films is Cohen & Tate, a 1989 kidnapping thriller starring Roy Scheider and Adam Baldwin. The film follows two antagonistic hit men sent to assassinate a young boy, the witness to a mob murder. They manage to kidnap the boy, killing his family in the process. As the tension between the two assassins escalates, things get more and more out of control, with the hit men trying to kill each other as well as the boy and anyone who gets in their way.
Filmed right here in Houston, it's a fairly obscure but excellent violent character piece and one of the best action flicks we've ever seen. Red hosts today's Cohen & Tate with Eric Red Live, a rare 35mm print screening of the film. A few lucky fans will also get free Blu-ray copies of the film; Red is enthusiastically supporting the release. ''The best thing about the Blu-ray coming out now is it introduces the film to new viewers,'' Red said by e-mail. ''The release timing is good because contemporary audiences have a more tough-minded sensibility than their counterparts did when the film came out and will probably be more receptive and in tune to the edgy characters and story.''

Dealer called me post sale - need advice
So long story short, I traded in my Charger for a ram. When I went to buy the car, I didnt have the charger but the dealer was desperate for a sale so they said they would give me a sight unseen trade in value. I bought the ram and traded the charger about a week later.
The charger is in excellent condition, about 60k miles on it. I had aftermarket HIDs in there and took them out when I traded in the car. I didnt replace the bulbs bc I figured the parts dept could spend 2 dollars and just put new bulbs in.
My salesman just called me today saying that there are 'tons' of things wrong with the car and that his manager is really upset because the car is unsellable. He didnt say much, but said the front grill was loose, no headlight bulbs, non factory lugnuts etc. These are all things that they can replace easily with minimal cost, and at no point did I lie about the condition of the car. Its 100% drivable and has never been in an accident. He said his manager wants to call me because he is very unhappy and walks to talk (originially he wanted me to come down but I said no).
The sale is final, they own that car and I own my truck. They paid off my loan to USAA. Do they have any recourse here other than just bitching at me? Can they legally change anythign in our agreement, such as price of the car, my new loan, my future warranties etc? I know he wants me to come down and pay for this stuff but I dont really see the point. We had a deal, they took the car, it shouldnt be my problem...let me know what to tell the manager when he calls me.
