Authors and WebsitesThe Bolt stories of PenNameSmith
- Recommended by Macgyver644200
- Symphosis: A series of stories set after the conclusion of the movie, giving a brief overview of what happens next.
- Pairings: BoltXMittens
- The author touches on a variety of topics that the movie didn't fully resolve (Bolt adjusting to normal life, what happens to the show, etc) and does it very well, with a bunch of original ideas thrown in as well. The characters stick to their canon personalities and the author's very good at keeping the story interesting all throughout. Humor, action, and heartwarming moments galore, I was never bored with the stories and was sad to see that the author had stopped writing Bolt fanfics. Give it a whirl.
- Recomended by Alyssa Macki
- He writes some of the best, not just Disney but stories Period, His best are "Rapunzel Goes Home" and "Roused". He resolves problems the characters have at the ends of their stories that most people brush off. It lets me look into the facts he brings up and discover them for myself. And I can not forget "Merida Comes". It really brings in how characters, even if they're not real, can influence us immensely. An author who can do that deserves much more, but this is the best I can do.
- Recommended by CMR Rosa and Eric W
- Synopsis: When Kelsey and her six year old cousin Emma gets sucked into the tv, it was only the beginning of their great Disney adventure. Even after they got out, a year later they went back in, and the stakes would only get bigger.
- Comments: This is a awesome crossover, everyone was in character and the original characters are well written. It's also not afraid to get meta or self referencing in the story, as while Kelsey and her family might know some of the stories, Jack Sparrow at least knows they're in a disney world, and can reference that quite often. While it can drag in places where the Myth Arc is sidetracked by the smaller Story Arc around it, but overall it's an engaging read.
- This is actually a series of 3 fics.
- Status: Books 1&2 complete. Book 3 in progress.
- Recommended by CMR Rosa
- Synopsis: Two sisters were planning to watch movies, but instead they accidentally fell into the world of Disney. They will meet friends and foes along the way. Will their friends help them get home? Or will they be stuck there for all eternity? One way to find out. Warning it may contain a few spoilers for those who didn't see the movies. Outtakes ready to go!
- Comments: This is a great Disney crossover, all the character were in character and the original characters are well written
- It has its own tropes page, here.
- Recommended by CMR Rosa
- Synopsis: The sisters thought that their Disneyland adventure ended. But darkness is coming to Disney. Thirteen villains are coming together to take over, a king disappears, and Kailey was kidnapped. If you think that's bad, Kelsey's friend was babysitting that day, and he discovered the girls' secret. Can Kelsey rescue them on time? Or will the villains rise and get revenge on the heroes?
- Recommended by CMR Rosa
- Status: Ongoing
- 'Synopsis'': This is a three-way crossover between Tangled, Brave, and How to Train your Dragon. The day before Hiccup's final dragon training test, Astrid never finds him in the woods. He suits up, packs up, and heads for the sky. Across the ocean, princess Merida runs away, wishing for anything in the world to change her fate. A hop, a skip, and a boat ride away, Rapunzel with her magic hair just can't wait to be finally free.
- Comments: This is a awesome crossover with Three Popular Movies.
- It has its own tropes page, here.
- Recommended by Autumn
- Synopsis: Our favorite characters and a few newcomers navigate intrigue and war sixteen years before the Disney film, revealing the source of Frollo's doom, Clopin's rise to power, Phoebus' fame, and Quasimodo's resilience.
- Recommended by Rookiez78
- Synopsis: "Fairytales, across different times and places."
- Recommended by 411314, Eric W
- Synopsis: The Disney Princesses regularly meet with each other, their love interests regularly meet each other as well. Much parody ensues, while some Reconstruction happens as well. the first volume is told through Tiana's eyes as she is newly introduced. A second volume from Rapunzel's POV is currently in the works.
- Recommended by Patworx
- Synopsis: "Jafar rises from the grave as he's summoned by Ursula to a meeting of the fallen villains. Can these villains be united under one leader, or will their selfish goals, differing philosophies, and all around hatred for one another ruin them all?"
- Recommended by Munchable
- Synopsis: When a dark power begins to move against the Disney Multiverse, its inhabitants must discover the truth of what they truly are and where they fit in the vast scheme of existence. First book of a planned series. (Atlantis: The Last Empire and The Hunchback of Notre Dame current worlds. IN PROGRESS.)
- Comments: This is a very professionally written, masterful work. It should be read by more people, and I recommend it to all.
- Recommended by Zelda Hearts 1337.
- Synopsis: Years ago... There were so many wonderful Characters that walked among us. But one day, a Character ended up killing a human child. They didn't mean it. Honest. Beloved heroes suddenly were monsters; threats that needed to be stopped. Soon, Characters were fugitives. That's when some people began began S.A.F.E. But it might not last much longer. (in-progress- currently dead)
- Comments: A Darker and Edgier Disney fic, kinda like Who Framed Roger Rabbit? in some aspects, Epic Mickey in a few others. Throw in dozens of characters from Disney, a handful from various video games, a pinch of Anime,some more from Western Animation, and toss them into a fugitive-hiding, underground railroad of sorts and this is it. Give it a whirl, and you might actually like it.
- Recommended by fruitstripegum
- Synopsis: Adella, Ariel's sister, is in need of a cure to her malady and Ariel finds an herbalist who can help. But this herbalist has a dark secret that could spell trouble for them all...
- Recommended by whispurrs
- Synopsis:The author's version of the past history of Helga Sinclair and Lyle Rourke from Atlantis. Story one in a trilogy.
- Comments:A dark fic which is deep, unsettling, tragic witty and brilliant in turns with everyone in character whilst they're expanded, I would also recommend the two sequels, which explore the relationship in further depth.
- Recommended by fruitstripegum
- Synopsis: Malcho finally escapes from his volcanic prison, but before he has a chance to exact his revenge on Agrabah, fate intervenes and he finds himself befriended to a most unlikely companion. Just how much can one meeting change a person?
- Recommended by Alyssa Macki
- Synopsis: Aurora was living in a lie, kept in a small forest, loving people who were not her parents. Sounds a lot like Rapunzel's story, yes? Aurora's return didn't go as smoothly as Rapunzel's, but Rapunzel can help. The story of some princesses lying in bed, whining about how awful their lives are. OR. What it takes to fix a broken a princess. The redemption of the Princess Aurora and Princess Rapunzel and their families. Not your grandmother's princess story!
- Recommended by Lustheron
- Synopsis: Sixteen years ago, a wicked fairy condemned the Princess Aurora to die. A few days ago, defeated by Prince Philip and the Good Fairies, the wicked fairy Maleficent was confined to the dungeons of King Stefan's castle to await her own death sentence.
- Recommended by Much Ado About Nonny
- Synopsis: High school AU webcomic. Mother Gothel and Claude Frollo got married; Rapunzel and Quasimodo grew up as homeschooled siblings. The story follows their exploits when they return to a public high school, with many other classic Disney storylines cleverly worked into the background along the way.
- Now has its own trope page.
- Recommended by: Lalalei2001
- Synposis: When a vengeful villain attempts to turn Disneyland's 50th Anniversary from the Disney Family's greatest triumph to their greatest defeat, it's up to Mickey Mouse to set things right and save his many friends from a fate worse than death!
- Comments: This fic is amazing, especially if you're a Disney fan. 70 plus years of Disney's history are woven into the fic, from parks and attractions to characters. Mickey Mouse being the main hero is really neat, and it was written before Epic Mickey came out. It's an emotional read, especially at the very end. Mickey really has to earn his happy ending, but he does, and it's amazing.
- It also has its own trope page.
- Recommended by Mondegreen
- Sypnosis: The first Christmas Ashton Bunny spends in L.A. promises to be one he won't soon forget: Mickey Mouse, the star of the Disney Studios and a long-time friend of Ashton's father, Bugs Bunny, wants to try another collaboration between their teams. But the last attempt proved to be disastrous, and after learning of the intense rivalry between the Looney Tunes and the Disney Core, Ashton is worried his father's plans will fall through. When things do take a turn for the worst, Bugs and Mickey are faced with the dilemma of finding an alternative to their idea. It's not an easy task, especially when their own Studios are refusing to help them fund their project any longer. The two families have to come up with a solution before the deadline. But how can Bugs Bunny and Mickey Mouse have their teams cooperate, when they've refused to do so for decades? While they try to find a solution to their problem, Ashton learns the secret history behind the friendship between Animation's two iconic Toons, and what makes it so special. Now all that's left to do is for Bugs and Mickey to find their Christmas Miracle.
- Comments: Though the writing may vary somewhat and there are some heavy bits of exposition, this is still the only fanfiction I've read that not only puts Mickey Mouse and Bugs Bunny in a story together, but shows a very dynamic (and heartwarming) relationship between the two characters. The story has a boatload of references to the history of Disney and Warner Brothers animation, and it's a very detailed take on how these Toons could operate if they were actually drawn-up actors in real life. It's imperfect, but it's still a great tribute to classic Disney and Looney Tunes cartoons, and a wonderful depiction of how their characters would've interacted.

- Pairing: Mulan x Shang
- Synopsis: Mulan is an honored guest at a celebration, but she still needs a little family help to see it through. Her dress is deadly, the cricket gets loose, and she's framed for a crime she didn't commit. I think it's going well, don't you?

"I would never be so arrogant to think that someone should model their life after me.

So I prefer the term 'possibility model' to 'role model.'" —Laverne Cox --------- People like her made it increasingly difficult to deny who I was anymore.

Feminism is about equality for EVERYONE. It is NOT a movement to replace the patriarchy with matriarchy. The fact that people have reservations about supporting feminism is extremely sad to me -especially in this day & age.

Senate panel to urge anti-terror law changes
OTTAWA – A Senate committee is poised to recommend that controversial anti-terror provisions be extended for three years, but with new safeguards attached, The Canadian Press has learned.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
OTTAWA – A Senate committee is poised to recommend that controversial anti-terror provisions be extended for three years, but with new safeguards attached, The Canadian Press has learned.
A special Senate panel will call on the government Thursday to renew the two elements of the Anti-Terrorism Act as long as they are retooled to take into account concerns about civil liberties.
The issue has threatened to drive a wedge in the Liberal party, which plans to vote against extending key provisions on preventive arrests and investigative hearings, due to expire as early as March 1.
The recommendation of the panel, chaired by a Liberal, comes on the heels of party leader Stéphane Dion's decree that caucus members oppose renewal of the measures.
Separate Commons and Senate committees have been reviewing the Anti-Terrorism Act, passed following the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on the United States.
The Senate committee was created in December 2004 to undertake a comprehensive review of the provisions and operation of the law.
The Anti-Terrorism Act allows the government to brand individuals and organizations as terrorists, imposing stiff penalties against anyone who participates in their activities or assists members of the groups.
The law also gives police the power to make preventive arrests of those suspected of planning a terrorist attack. And it requires anyone with information relevant to the investigation of a terrorist act to appear before a judge.
It is unclear what sort of safeguards the senators will recommend to make these two provisions more palatable to those concerned they infringe basic liberties.
Committee members were tight-lipped about the unanimous report, which is based on testimony from dozens of witnesses. But they said it takes an even-handed approach to the question of securing Canada.
"We do acknowledge that there is a threat. We do believe that we need to be careful," said Liberal Senator Mobina Jaffer. ``Security's important, but we need to balance it."
Liberal Senator David Smith, chairman of the committee, echoed her assessment.
"We've tried to look at everything so that it's in balance."
Jaffer noted the panel undertook a broad-based examination. "Our report is more than the Anti-Terrorism Act. We've looked at all of the legislation around terrorism."
The report will address the use of security certificates to arrest and deport terrorism suspects, Canada's planned no-fly list for airlines, and regulation of charities aimed at preventing extremists from abusing them.
"The surprising issue is that we're all from very different walks of life, and we've come up with a consensus report. We worked very, very hard to understand the issue," Jaffer said.
"I feel we've come a long way from the time when we were very worried – Sept. 11 – to a stage when we're saying in Canada, we're a country of the Charter (of Rights) and we need to look at a balance."
Two provisions of the Anti-Terrorism Act, one dealing with the definition of terrorism, the other addressing security of information, have been struck down by courts in Ontario.
The government has been awaiting the parliamentary reports before taking any steps to redraft those elements.
In addition, the Supreme Court of Canada will hand down a decision Friday on the constitutionality of security certificates. The certificate process predates the anti-terror law but, for some critics, it has come to symbolize excesses of the post-9-11 fight against extremism.

This week they are upping their acquisition payments to an even $1.5 billion or so.
Intuit to buy Electronic Clearing House for $142M
Mountain View-based Intuit and Camarillo-based Electronic Clearing House Inc. (NASDAQ:ECHO) said Intuit will pay $18.75 per share in cash in exchange for each share of Echo common stock. That's about 15 percent above Echo's closing price Thursday of $15. Echo provides end-to-end payment processing products, including check and bank card processing as well as check verification, collection, and guarantee services and automatic clearing house capabilities.
Whether or not Intuit makes a splash in online banking services, we continue to believe Intuit's stock price will follow a seasonal pattern. If anything, the acquisitions will give traders an extra excuse to sell in the short term.

Posted July 06, 2012 on AP on Fox
DENVER - OCTOBER 03: Goaltender Roberto Luongo #1 of the Vancouver Canucks defends the goal against the Colorado Avalanche during NHL action at the Pepsi Center on October 3, 2009 in Denver, Colorado. Luongo had 24 saves while giving up three goals as the Avalanche defeated the Canucks 3-0. (Photo by Doug Pensinger/Getty Images)
Star goalie Roberto Luongo said Friday night in a radio interview that he expects to leave the Vancouver Canucks, and could even end up with the rival Chicago Blackhawks. Luongo was originally scheduled to be on Vancouver's 99.3 the Fox to talk about the World Series of Poker. However, the discussion shifted to hockey and where he might play next season following the Canucks' decision to sign backup goalie Cory Schneider to a three-year, $12 million deal. ''I think it's really time to move on,'' Luongo said. ''I don't think either one of us ... either I demanded a trade or (Canucks general manager Mike Gillis) suggested a trade. It was a mutual understanding that it was time for Cory to take over.'' He was asked about the possibility of going to Chicago. ''That's a good question,'' Luongo said. ''I think there's a lot of cities that are great to play in, and Chicago's definitely one of them. But you have to realize that it works both ways. There's not only me involved in this de...

Tips for state survey?
0 I am going on my second year in LTC - although I experienced a survery last year, I am still nervous for our upcoming one. Any tips from experienced nurses?
A few questions I have -
When giving eye drops, what do you do with the cap? Also, how do you recap it regarding which hand is clean VS dirty -
Do we need to wear gloves with nasal sprays/inhalers?
I am going to try and put together a "Tip List" for use in my facility and for later posting on here.
Thanks!:heartbeatLast edit by ashLPN9 on Sep 2, '12

Can I marry him? I love the tattoos and look of dismay on his face.
I used to think he was a thug given all of his tats. Turns out that the guy is a really nice person with great values. Just happens to have a lot of tats. I like him He made me re-evaluate my bias against tats. No longer look at them as uniformly damning. BTW, the guy has crazy athletic ability. HE IS the future of NFL quarterbacking. Fast, able to run, good arm. That is the NFL quarterback of the 2010-2020 decade.
AOL, and I've been with you for years, has always been way too "star struck" for me. When a big motion picture or TV name doesn't do something you consider newsworthy, you pick a minor name to feature. Half the time I don't even recognize the name, so I really don't care that much. I even complained about this once, but of course I received no answer. This list is really kind of silly, but I think you know that, and expect negative responses if only to see if people are paying attention.
if those were the top 10 picks of the biggest or greatest events on TV in 2013. um' maybe we should throw away our tv sets? or... at least can someone fire the person that thought this 10 line up were the stories anyone cares about? not 1 of those things was interesting, the only 1 on that list i even saw was the superbowl blackout, and that was not really a big deal.
At least gef the right person from Duck Dynasty in your photos.
Sons of Anarchy season finale.
I stopped watching that show after season 3. It got to "emo" for me.
Say's the moron that spent 3 years watching a show and didn't realize it was a DRAMA tell me what scripted highly rated show isn't a drama????
Does AOL have 12 year olds picking these things? C'mon guys!
Here's another performance that was trending big time on Twitter when it happenedhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YaJ3FLqCEQk
I didn't even watch breaking bad and I know that was one of the most talked about shows of the year!
no Breaking Bad??? Who made this idiotic list
I'd like to have my say on other issues but HP won't allow it unless I join facebook which I refuse to join. HP doesn't want views that don't fit their agenda. Boycott this stupid site.

Great place to stay when you want to shop....the malls across the street with a lot of restaurants to choose from and with beautiful weather our whole stay 70 degrees in November that was a plus for the kids......will stay again on our next trip...
The hotel staff was very nice and helpful. The room was excellent and clean. There was a mini fridge and couch. They have a small pool and some workout equipment. This place is perfect for someone travleing on business. There is also a big mall and lots of restaurant choices just a parking lot away. My gym was in the mall as well. I enjoyed my stay. I would recommend this hotel to people going to that area.
Great location and accomodations. Staff friendly. Brand new lobby. Not a 4 or 5 star based upon my check-in experience and cleanliness of room. Found hair in the shower upon inspection and as a Gold Elite Marriott member, was not asked for room preference. Was placed in a handi-cap room without being asked. As someone who is 5'11', the showerhead was at the level of my shoulders. I would book here again, but would proactively ask about the room they are placing me in.
This hotel is in a great location.... Rooms were very nice and the beds were very comfortable. The free breakfast is an extra plus....The mall and the movies is right across the street... We would stay there again
I stayed at Courtyard Dulles Town Center during Hurricane Sandy. Although the weather was terrible, the stay was very enjoyable. I found the staff very friendly and extremely accomodating. Both the room and the common areas were very clean and comfortable. It was also an excellent location with many restaurants and shopping close by. I will definitely stay at this hotel again and would recommend it to others!
We recently stayed at this Courtyard. It has a nice updated entry way. Ive been in way too many outdated 'standard' Courtyards. Nice sitting area, Bistro. Nice quite room, quick, convenient location. (Nordstrom, Cheesecake Factory, lots of restaurants across street) Nice gym facility. Rooms are clean, nice hot water pressure. Would stay here again. Great value. No gratis breakfast for status members.
I recently stayed at Courtyard Dulles Town Center.Hotel is in a very nice place. Across street is a mall and several resteraunts. New lobby has added quality to place. Nice clean room and friendly staff. I will stay here everytime I am in the area.

At a barbershop in New York, a beautician named Heavenly Cross slides a razor blade through a head of disembodied black hair. Sometimes her clients want to be Beyoncé, other times Rihanna, and sometimes they want the hair from "that Mary J. Blige video."
Across the globe, an Indian woman makes her way along the southern banks of the Sri Swami Pushkarini River in Andhra Pradesh, to the gilded temple of Tirupati. Once inside, a barber wets the woman's hair before weaving it into a braid. He places a band on either side of the braid, then slides a razor across her scalp.
Within hours, the hair that was an offering to the gods will be shipped to the port city of Chennai, where it will be auctioned to a Chinese export company. Once in China, the hair will be sorted, washed and packaged before being loaded into shipping containers bound for the shelves of discount beauty shops in the United States, where under names like "Bohemian Curl," "Hollywood Wave" and "Sea Breeze," Heavenly Cross will buy it and weave her clients into who they want to be.
So goes the global supply chain for human hair, a market that is growing at an astonishing rate of 40 percent annually.
Great Lengths Hair Extensions, one of the largest human hair venders in the industry, reports a 70 percent increase over the past five years. According to a report by the Professional Beauty Association, the past two years have seen a 28.5 percent rise in the number of U.S. salons that offer hair extensions.
The boom has been fueled by two major influences: celebrity culture and a wave of new technology for applying the extensions.
While American women once hid the fact that they outsourced their fuller hair styles, a new generation of female starlets — including Jessica Simpson, Brittany Spears and Fergie — openly admit to wearing other women's hair. Now the long-held celebrity secret of human hair extensions — in which tresses of imported locks are sewn, beaded or glued onto the follicles of hair beside the scalp — is out in the open.
"People talk about having extensions now," said Genevieve Houle, manager of Barbie's Hair World in New York's Queens borough. "It used to be a personal thing, like asking someone what bra size they wear. Now people say to each other, 'Where do you get your hair?' It's not taboo anymore."
Easier application
The effect of the extensions is to increase fullness and length. Women with short or thin hair can suddenly have hairstyles they never dreamed of. The added hair looks healthy for an average of four months before it dries out from lack of nutrients, which are replenished when hair is growing.
Until recently, real human hair was too expensive for many women who wanted extensions. They had to settle for cheaper synthetic hair. In both cases, the hair was sewn together in tracks and then attached to the client's head. But a new technique called "strand application" has made extensions look better and last longer.
With strand application, small bits of keratin, a protein naturally found in healthy hair, are fused to the client's existing hair, several strands at a time. The extensions look and feel just like natural hair and stay in place for anywhere from four to six months before the hair dries out.
Upscale salons have long offered human hair processed in Europe, which is pricier. And those salons still charge a premium for extensions. Alexander Maud, stylist at Mizu Salon in Boston, says he charges from $2,500 to $4,000 for a full head of extensions.
But now less pricey salons are offering human extensions using the old weave technique with packages of human hair sourced from Asia, which are much cheaper. Discount beauty supply stores market full heads of "100% Indian Hair" for $60.
Who's paying
With the market for human hair growing so quickly, some worry that the boom may have a hidden human toll.
"We don't really know how all this hair is being taken," said Susie Smith, chief executive of Hollywood Hair Extensions, a salon and distribution company. "We have heard small bits and pieces about people being attacked for their hair or selling it to feed their families, but we're not really talking about it."
While there is a huge profit to be made on Indian locks, there is no monetary compensation for the Indian women who donate their hair to temples as an act of faith. Many women have no idea they are part of an expanding industry that crosses several international borders and is nearly impossible to regulate.
According to trade figures released by the United Nations, between 2009 and 2011, China tripled its imports of Indian hair, from 800 pounds a year to 2.4 million pounds.
Smith believes that if consumers knew where the hair was coming from, they would have second thoughts about purchasing extensions.
"I rarely get a client who asks, 'Whose hair am I wearing?' " Smith said. "They think about it like they are buying an expensive leather purse and not asking, 'What cow did it come from?' "

Although the Department of Homeland Security has made progress in protecting its IT operations from electronic harm, federal auditors said in a new report that DHS still lags in some key cybersecurity practices and technologies, including incident detection and analysis, identity management and contingency planning.
The report, issued Nov. 21 by the department's Office of Inspector General (OIG), showed a mixed bag of results in the implementing and maintaining uniform, effective electronic security measures.
For example, the OIG said that while DHS has adopted an effective new process to track its mission essential systems, which are vital to ensuring the continuity of essential operations during an emergency, it doesn't have a central repository to track and monitor information systems that reside in the public cloud.
It also said that while DHS's training office provides components with access to more than 4,000 IT training courses via Microsoft SharePoint, the department has not established or provided enterprise-wide training requirements for privileged users.
Praise and condemnation for the mixed performance fell along party lines on Capitol Hill.
Tom Coburn of Oklahoma, ranking Republican on the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, said the report's findings show "major gaps" in DHS cybersecurity "that would be obvious to a 13-year-old with a laptop. DHS doesn't use strong authentication. It relies on antiquated software that's full of holes. Its components don't report security incidents when they should. They don't keep track of weaknesses when they're found and they don't fix them in time to make a difference."
Coburn said DHS should be held to the same cybersecurity standards as private sector critical infrastructure companies.
"The fact is, the federal government's classified and unclassified networks are dangerously insecure, putting at risk not only U.S. national security, but the nation's critical infrastructure and vast amounts of our citizen's personally identifiable information."
The committee's Democratic chairman, Tom Carper of Delaware, emphasized the the flip side of the report, noting DHS's "considerable progress" in implementing Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA) protections.
The report credited the department's efforts to address cybersecurity priorities under FISMA mandates, including implementing trusted Internet connections, continuous monitoring and strong authentication. However, even with those efforts, the report said, the agency still has significant holes in its information security plan.
DHS systems, OIG said, are being operated without authority to operate, plans of action and milestones aren't being created for all known security weaknesses and baseline security configuration settings aren't being implemented for all systems. Incident detection and analysis, specialized training, account and identity management and contingency planning also need improvement, it said. DHS still needs to consolidate all of its external connections and complete implementation of personal identity verification compliant logical access on its information systems and networks, the report concluded.
DHS has subsequently taken five steps recommended by the OIG to bolster its cyber defenses. For instance, the OIG recommended that DHS establish, implement and maintain baseline configuration on all workstations and servers in the department. DHS told the OIG that in fiscal 2013, 11 of 12 components used the approved baseline configuration settings. It said it will increase the rigor of configuration management in 2014 by expanding relevant scorecard metrics to include devices beyond Windows platforms. DHS said its fiscal 2014 Information Security Scorecard will employ continuous monitoring data feeds. The OIG also recommended DHS ensure all operational information systems have current authorization to operate, a recommendation with which DHS concurred.

Taxes: President Obama is dressing up his corporate tax reform plan as a way to boost economic growth. But you don't have to look hard to see this for what it is: a brazenly cynical attempt to boost his re-election chances.
In announcing Obama's tax reform "framework" — which would lower the corporate rate to 28% and close loopholes — Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner tried to depict it as a genuine effort to improve the economy.
"We think there's a compelling economic case" for corporate tax reform, he told Congress last week.
On Wednesday, he added the current system is "bad for economic growth and job creation" and that reform would "make us more competitive and create jobs here at home" and "boost growth."
There's no question we desperately need corporate tax reform. The current code trades a too-high rate of 35% — the OECD average rate is 25% and falling — for a myriad of loopholes that distort business decisions and dampen growth. The resulting tax law is so monstrously complex that businesses spend up to $85 billion a year just to figure out what they owe.
Obama's own recovery board, his debt commission and his jobs council all called for him to fix these problems as a way to boost economic growth.
Obama himself mentioned the need for tax reform "to help our companies compete" in his January 2011 State of the Union speech.
But the half-baked proposal he finally offered this week is nothing more than a political ploy designed to inoculate him against charges of being anti-business.
After all, if Obama truly believed in the "compelling" case for tax reform, why did he wait three years into his term to suddenly make it a priority? Particularly when he knows full well that the chances of a major tax code overhaul eight months before a presidential election are virtually nil.
And if he was serious about reform, Obama would have come up with a better plan than the dog Geithner outlined Wednesday. Among its glaring problems:
It doesn't lower the rate enough to do any good. Even with a federal rate of 28%, corporate taxes would still exceed most OECD countries when you add in state taxes. That's hardly enough to justify killing off loopholes and raising the overall corporate tax burden on U.S. companies.
It continues to play favorites. Geithner complains in one breath that the current code is "fundamentally unfair" because "subsidies flow to certain industries and not others." But in the very next breath he says Obama's plan would favor manufacturers with a special low rate, "advanced manufacturing" with a still lower one, and "green" energy companies with special tax credits.
It would penalize multinationals that keep profits overseas by imposing a new "minimum tax" on foreign earnings, giving U.S. firms a strong incentive to move their operations to more welcoming climes.
Obama is constantly bemoaning cynicism in politics. But his phony tax reform plan shows he's the worst offender.

I worked at Travelocity full-time (More than a year)
Fun place to work. Colleagues are quite friendly and overall pretty easy to get along with.
Office being in SFO and head office being in Texas, sometimes you are not part of the decision making process.

Intelligent and passionate coworkers; a fantastic industry (travel); great community environment; work from home options; travel opportunities; ideal office location; comprehensive benefits package including health, dental, and vision.
Combined work/sick leave; disorganized leadership; high executive turnover; below-market pay; refusal to address compensation issues; hiring and raise freezes; repeated lay-offs contributing to an uncertain work environment; limited or no career advancement path.
Advice to Management
Management needs to settle on a single, unified plan going forward and provide clear pathways for employee advancement. They also need to address the ongoing issue of low compensation, cut back outsourcing, and bring more jobs in-house.

The travel industry is a really fun & interesting place to work. It's nice to spend your day thinking about travel as your product, rather than widgets. The work schedule is flexible, with a good amount of time off (PTO - no sick time.)
Travelocity definitely does not pay competitively with other companies that are as well known in the internet sector. And even though everyone thinks there would be lots of great travel perks & deals working for a big travel company - there are actually very few and none of any significant value.
Advice to Management
Management is over-focused on recognizing and rewarding only those employees who sacrifice everything for their careers - and absolutely loves brown-nosers. Yes, that happens everywhere - but it seems more pronounced at Travelocity. And the company sometimes makes odd choices about strategy, priorities and investments, rather than focusing on the things that will truly drive bottom-line financials.
