2005 Fed 100: A to D
2005 Fed 100: E to L
2005 Fed 100: M to P
2005 Fed 100: Q to Z
Fed 100: Complete list
People often talk about Government, with a capital g, in anthropomorphic terms, as if agency officials and federal employees were nothing but functional nodes in a collective hive mind.
Everyone else, meanwhile, is subject to the whims of this Government, which is why it takes so long for anything to get done. Decisions are delayed or funding is held up, and we all sit around and wait.
Perhaps there is some truth to that. Government work is process-oriented and for a good reason. The work must be done year in and year out, as presidential administrations come and go, and people must be protected from individuals' capriciousness.
Still, the Federal 100 awards are an important reminder that people make a difference.
They dream up innovative uses for technology and turn those ideas into real-life solutions. They resolve political disputes that threaten to derail important programs.
And they improve government rules and regulations, so that the processes serve the interest of the people, instead of the other way around.
That is why the Federal 100 program recognizes people, not systems or programs. In the end, government works because of individuals' efforts.
Similarly, the awards are not given to teams. Winners will often make the case for their team's work, but experience shows that the most successful teams typically draw on individual players' energy and inspiration.
As you flip through the next 20 pages, you will come across a handful of people who have won in previous years. The Federal 100 is not a "people's choice" award, with sentimental favorites winning year after year, nor is it a lifetime achievement award. The fact is, success for some people is a matter of habit.
But you won't find previous Eagle award winners on this year's Federal 100 list. They are ineligible for future Federal 100 awards.
As always, many deserving people were nominated for awards this year, but the field is limited to 100, so tough choices were made. Even so, it is always inspiring to see how much good work is being done in the federal community.

Skip to comments.Sheriff Joe Arpaio: I Spoke with Andrew Breitbart Shortly Before he Died
Posted on 03/04/2012 8:13:32 PM PST by OUTKAST
We need to slam these conservative talk shows this week with this information.
If the pressure is not on them.. They will not let other know.
TAKE A STAND PEOPLE! It is our time
Spread this video!
So were they talking about what?
It would great if Obama were ineligible for the Presidential ballot in several key states.
Shades of the Arkancide.
I would be watching my back if I were Joe.
Yeah this is concerning.
wow. Crazy video!
Very interesting. Thanks for posting it.
Sheriff Joe: "Where's Trump on all of this? Too busy endorsing Romney?"
Just following the script of these traitorous blokes:
watch your back Joe....
Wow. Breitbart was all excited about Joe's presser.
Holy poop. He was going to release the footage that day!!!
And the footage does show him with Dohrn and Ayres back when. Proving Obama is a total liar.
AP Exclusive: Obama's transgender ex-nanny outcast
This has AB written all over it!
How did the ghost of AB get the AP to run that?
This story is old knowledge here on FR, so, Why now?
What has happened recently that would FORCE them to come out with this story at this time?
Yaelle, if AB was going to release the tapes on March 1... Why did his associate say they were being edited for release on Hannity "in a week to ten day?". if AB was ready to "go" with them on 3/1 what is the delay?
If Andrew Breitbart was going to release the film that day, why is the timeframe for release now 7-10 days? What's the delay? Also, if Hannity is involved in the release, then it's probably not very incriminating against the foreigner.
is hannity the only one who has the videos?
i don't think he actually has the videos, bannon said that he would provide hannity with them in 7-10 days. but if fox news is under pressure to not talk negatively about the foreigner, and you have people like o'reilly, van susteren, and huckabee who routinely praise him up, then how damaging can the tapes be? fox news won't even mention the bc issue.
...until newspapers begin to cover the Obama eligibility story in earnest.
Sadly, it probably wasn't about the benefits of asprin on heart disease.
I really hope that Bannon doesn't do the release on Hannity's show because if it breaks on FOX then no one else will carry it. It would be much wiser to release a few snippets at a time on the new BIGS site and get people talking about it and then offer it to CNN/ABC/CBS etc.....get them fighting over the exclusive rights to a huge story and they'll all end up covering it that way.
If it does get released on FOX only and it is nothing particularly damaging, then I will have to reconsider the conspiracy theorists ideas about Brietbart's death!
Thanks OUTKAST.

The Book of Genesis does not mention Moses but in the middle 3 books Moses as the main protagonist and prophet is referred to in third person. In Deuteronomy however Moses speaks in first person mainly. Why the switch?

Technically, Deuteronomy is written in third person.
So, to sum up, Deuteronomy is technically written in third person, but it seems like first person because it records Moses' last words.
Deutoronomy or Debarim (The Words) is, what Moses spoke to Israel towards the end of their travels through the wildernis and deserts of Arabia, and it were his final words to them before he died and before they entered the land.
So much of it is direct speech it would have been unnatural, had he spoken of himself in third person after all these (almost 40 years). Moses - I believe - was not in danger anymore that he would transgress by exalting himself the way it had happened when he and Aaron had exalted themselves before Israel at Meriba.

KANSAS CITY, MO -- The Texas A&M football team may be undergoing change with Mike Sherman and his staff taking over in Aggieland, but players Travis Schneider, Devon Gregg, and Jordan Pugh are getting the word out that 2008 will be far from a transition season for the Maroon & White.
The trio started their 'smash mouth' football campaign with the Big XII football media that was gathered in Kansas City on Monday.
Schneider, who is the lone returning offensive lineman, said that while the team has a new offensive and defensive scheme to learn, they are turning back the clock.
"It's going to be like it use to be, it's going to be smash mouth. We're going to get after people. It's not going to be any more of this soft stuff," stated Schneider.
Like the A&M offense, the Aggie defense will return 6 starters and senior defensive back Devon Gregg feels like the unit will be more aggressive, with the D-Line setting the tone.
Defensive back Jordan Pugh echoes Gregg's thoughts and says there's a lot of excitement on campus and it's not just in the locker room.
"Every body's excited throughout campus, every body's asking about the season, the coach, it's fun, you're just ready, it's exciting," exclaims Pugh!
Texas A&M kicks off the 2008 season and the Mike Sherman era on August 30th against Arkansas State with a 6 p.m. kick-off at Kyle Field.

A farmer whose skull was crushed in a fall from the third storey of his home was due to undergo surgery to receive a titanium replacement, made using a 3D printer.
Doctors in Xian, in Shaanxi province, used the latest technology to print out a custom-made implant that will be inserted under the skin of the man, surnamed Hu, and attached to the bones of the 46-year-old's skull.
If successful, the titanium mesh will restore the natural shape of the farmer's skull.
The news comes just days after doctors in Beijing were able to insert a 3D-printed vertebra in a 12-year-old cancer patient's spine.
The child's vertebra had been assailed by a tumour, and the replacement part is made of a material that would allow new bone to grow into it.
Doctors at Peking University Hospital took five hours on the surgery – the first such procedure in the world.
While 3D-printed organs are not yet commonly used, there have been previous cases of patients being implanted with 3D-printed jaws, hips and even a pelvis.
Similar to inkjet printers, the 3D printers work by squirting material in a layer based on a particular pattern. But unlike the common household printer, 3D ones continue laying down further layers of material until a physical object is formed.
A recent report cited by The Guardian said that medical 3D-printed organs and tissues would drive growth in the market for 3D printers over the next decade.
Analysts from Britain-based research firm IDTechEx said the dental and medical market for 3D printers could expand by 365 per cent to US$867 million by 2025 – even before bio-printing (using live cells) becomes commercially and scientifically feasible.
Currently 3D printers are widely used in the car industry, printing prototypes and car parts, The Guardian report said.

However, where the pitch or accommodation occupancy allows it, you can now make a booking for up to 30 adults and 30 children on one pitch.
To book multiple pitches or accommodation, use the 'Special requests' box on the booking page to ask to be sited together. Complete the booking form for the first booking (you can add a password and save your card so that we remember your details). Then click "Make another booking like this" at the top of the confirmation page to make the next booking.
Large groups: check the listing page for any group restrictions set out in the terms and section titled 'Please note'.
Large tents/caravans: check the restrictions on unit dimensions to ensure your unit is suitable for the space you will be provided with.

Borders chain failure is tied partly to how we read and buy books now
Look for follow-up news about a liquidation sale, independent bookseller, rescheduled Borders event or jobless former workers.
Find a news item or ad involving any type of product sold at Borders -- books, videos, newspapers, magazines.
Is there coverage of another industry also affected by competitive missteps and changes in technology or consumer habits?
"We've helped drive Borders out of business," an investment site blogger says boldly. Therese Poletti, a senior columnist for MarketWatch, last week acknowledged flipping through books at one of the chain's stores, then ordering the items at a discount from Amazon. "Admit it: You've done it," she posted. "The more brazen of us will even order cheaper books while still in the store, via smart phone -- at least those of us who still want actual, physical, page-turning books."
That last point -- the impact of e-books on Borders' shutdown announcement last week because it couldn't find a buyer -- is widely cited as a key reason for the national chain's failure to emerge from bankruptcy reorganization after closing more than 600 stores this year. The remaining 399 now are holding clearance sales of merchandise and fixtures so creditors recover part of what they're owed. The shutdown is "another nail in the coffin of the old-fashioned . . . book business as the world zooms toward an ever-more-digital model," culture writer Rachel Syme commented on NPR.
Obituary-style coverage cited missteps by managers who didn't position Borders to compete effectively online or as electronic books became nearly as popular as their paper cousins. "The company treated the Internet like a passing trend rather than a transformative phenomenon," says Rick Newman, chief business correspondent for U.S. News magazine. "The company outsourced its web operation to Amazon -- which obviously became a tough competitor -- waiting until 2008 to develop a meaningful web strategy of its own."
Blogger says: "Imagine a wood-paneled library and warm leather chair, but with its bookshelves bare and only a Kindle to tap. . . . This is a future I don't want to envision." -- Therese Poletti, MarketWatch.com
Consultant says: "Borders forgot how to be a bookstore and wanted to become a cafe experience center, entertainment retailer and -- at the end -- a flea market for over-priced toys and candy. What got lost were the books" -- Ryan Mathews, founder of Black Monk Consulting in Eastpointe, Mich.
Business columnist says: "Borders soon will be another monument to missed business opportunity and to changing times that are making the world safer for an Apple and lot less so for a Borders." -- Daniel Howes, The Detroit News

County moves to improve safety of Patriot Parkway
Published: Wednesday, May 21, 2008 at 3:51 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, May 21, 2008 at 3:51 p.m.
TUSCALOOSA | In an effort to prevent another resident from being struck by a vehicle near Hillcrest High School, the Tuscaloosa County Commission today unanimously approved the installation of traffic calming and pedestrian warning devices along Patriot Parkway.
The countys Department of Engineering is authorized to install painted crosswalks and four-way stop signs at Patriot Parkways intersections with Remington Parkway and Hillcrest Drive.
Commissioner Bobby Miller, who requested the measures, said the traffic patterns also will be monitored to determine whether speed tables, which also were approved with the same vote, should be placed along Patriot Parkway.
The Tuscaloosa County Sheriffs Office also is working to determine what speed limit should be posted outside the 25 mph school zone, Miller said.
The commissions move is the result of the accident involving Hillcrest Middle School student Alex Walker, who was struck by a vehicle last week on Patriot Parkway.
This was a fluke accident, Miller said. But whether it was a fluke accident or not, my concern is making sure it wont happen again.
Walker, 13, was struck by a car after school on May 16 as he was crossing Patriot Parkway near Hillcrest High School while walking to his home in the Hillcrest Meadows subdivision.
He sustained a broken pelvis and two skull fractures as a result, said his mother, Susan Walker.
Hes improving and hes doing much better, the 42-year-old mother said. Hes improving as he should. Its slow and hell be out the rest of the school year, but hes doing really well considering how bad it couldve been.
Were really fortunate it wasnt worse.
Susan Walker and Hillcrest High School Principal Jeff Hyche said they were pleased that Miller and the County Commission responded as quickly as it did to address an ongoing concern, but each said more needs to be done to ensure pedestrian safety.
The mother said she had hoped the county would go ahead with the speed tables, but county officials said they were worried teenage drivers would use them as launching ramps. The principal said he would like to see sidewalks installed along Patriot Parkway for not only walkers but bicyclists, as well.
Hyche has worked at the school for 18 years while Susan Walker and her family have lived in Hillcrest Meadows for more than a decade. They both told of close calls between drivers and people but said Alex Walkers injuries came from the only pedestrian-vehicle collision that they know of.
I would say it was an accident waiting to happen and were just fortunate in that it wasnt worse, Hyche said. I dont think this is the complete answer, but its certainly a good start.

LSU's Nike Pro Combat Uniforms Harken Back To The Late '50s For Inspiration
Published October 21, 2011
ONE AND DONE: Univ. of Michigan AD Dave Brandon said that the plan "to create a new road jersey" that would be worn only for last week's game against Michigan State "launched soon after the Spartans unveiled their special uniforms on Sept. 13." Brandon said that he called adidas, "discussed Nike's plan for MSU, and the apparel company got to work immediately to produce the Michigan road jersey." He "wanted the jerseys to be close to what the Wolverines wore" against Notre Dame earlier in the season during the first night game at Michigan Stadium. Brandon said, "It's not a marketing and merchandise strategy. It was to fire up the team as far as our own competitive edge." He added that Michigan "does not plan to become Oregon, wearing a number of different uniform combinations during the season." Brandon: "As far as I was concerned, this was a one-off thing. If our merchandising partners think there's a market and adidas wants to market the jerseys … that wasn't really the strategy" (DETROIT NEWS, 10/21).

The outside rear brake pad (the one not operated by the cylinder) is not releasing and wearing against the disc. I imagine that the guide pins are probably jammed with dirt as they were tight to release when I changed the pads. Is it easy to get these pins out and clean/replace any parts? Is there any special set-up procedure after replacement? And have you a break down diagram of the rear brake caliper.

The Parents Guide for Vegas Vacation can be found here.
When Clark 'Sparky' Griswold (Chevy Chase) gets a substantial bonus at work for the approval of his long-life food preservative, he decides to take his whole family -- wife Ellen (Beverly D'Angelo), son Rusty (Ethan Embry), and daughter Audrey (Marisol Nichols) -- to 'Fantastic Las Vegas' where Clark intends to renew his wedding vows with Ellen. While in Vegas, they cross paths with Cousin Eddie (Randy Quaid) and his family, who are now living on an old bomb-testing site in the desert just north of Vegas. While Clark tries his luck in the casinos, Ellen catches the eye of Vegas entertainer Wayne Newton, Audrey takes up cage dancing with Cousin Vicki (Shae D'lyn), and Rusty fakes an ID and becomes a high roller. After losing all of the family savings at the blackjack tables, Clark finally learns the meaning of 'family'.
Vegas Vacation is the fourth movie in the Griswold series, preceded by National Lampoon's Vacation (1983), National Lampoon's European Vacation (1985), and National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation (1989). The series is based on a short story, 'Vacation '58', by American screenwriter John Hughes that appeared in National Lampoon Magazine.
No, although it may seem that way when Clark talks about how he and Ellen used to wrap them in blankets and roll them back and forth on the bed. However, when Ellen chooses the numbers to play Keno, she chooses the kids' birthdays. Audrey was born on the 7th and Rusty on the 16th, so they can't be twins.
...the opening credits roll? 'Good Vibrations' sung by The Beach Boys
...Ellen and Clark go to the bathroom in the airplane? 'Garota De Ipanema' performed by
Stan Getz and Antonio Carlos Jobim
...the Griswolds are driving down the strip? 'Born To Be Alive' sung by Patrick Hernandez
...Roy and the tiger are spinning on the giant disco ball? 'Bless Us All] by Jerry Bilik
...Clark sees Christie Brinkley in the red Ferrari? 'Holiday Road' sung by Lindsey Buckingham
...Wayne Newton and Ellen sing together? 'Loving You' written by Minnie Riperton and Dick Rudolph
...Audrey is riding in the back of a truck with Vicki? 'Hey Girl' performed by Frosted
...Audrey climbs on the sign to dance? 'Ready to Go' performed by Republica
...Rusty wins his first car and again when he gets a massage? 'Ain't That A Kick In The Head'
sung by Dean Martin
...Clark gets money from the ATM? 'All Along the Watchtower' performed by Marc Ferrari
and Paul Taylor in Jimi Hendrix style
...Audrey is dancing in the cage? 'My Love' sung by Kellee
Clark steals a Viva Vegas Tour bus and drives to Shenandoah to get Ellen away from Wayne Newton. They then pull Rusty from his high roller suite and retrieve Audrey from her cage. With the Griswold family back together again but out of money, they decide to use their last $2.00 to try and win some back by playing a game of Keno. While Ellen chooses the numbers, Clark talks with the man seated next to them. Lonely Mr Ellis (Sid Caesar) wants nothing more than a family, so Clark invites him to be a part of the Griswold family for the night, and Ellis gratefully accepts. The Keno caller begins to call out the winning numbers, but the Griswolds get only one of the 10 numbers. However, Ellis gets them all, winning the game. Suddenly, Ellis keels over, dropping his Keno card on the floor. Rusty goes for help, but Ellis revives long enough to whisper 'Take the card' in Clark's ear before he passes out again. Just as the medics arrive to carry him away on a stretcher, Ellis winks at Clark. Clark retrieves the fallen Keno card and, with the windfall, decides the time is right for him and Ellen to repeat their vows. In the final scene, Clark gives Eddie $5,000, and Rusty points out the four cars a Dodge Viper, a Ford Aspire, a Ford Mustang, and a Hummer H1 that he won. Each of the Griswolds take a car, and they head back to Chicago.
There are five. Vegas Vacation was preceded by National Lampoon's Vacation (1983), National Lampoon's European Vacation (1985), National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation (1989) and Vegas Vacation (1997), and followed by the 14-minute video short Hotel Hell Vacation (2010). A sixth Christmas Vacation 2: Cousin Eddie's Island Adventure (2003) aired on NBC but only features Randy Quaid as Cousin Eddie. In 2015, a seventh installment, a sequel/reboot, Vacation, was released, continuing the series' canon with an adult Rusty taking his family to Walley World before the park closes forever.
Screenwriter John Hughes used to write for National Lampoon magazine and penned Vacation, European Vacation, and Christmas Vacation while working there. Thus, they have the "National Lampoon" monikor. The screenplay for Vegas Vacation wasn't written by Hughes (it was written by Elisa Bell), so the "National Lampoon" headline was dropped.

The build quality is superb, all metal, and the unit has an elegant, understated design. For web browsing, email, watching videos, light photo editing (cropping, red-eye removal, and the like), and typical office tasks (word processing, spreadsheets, and presentations), the Intel Core i3 processor in my first model (the CT14-A0) is far faster than I expected it to be. I love the clear, bright display and the high resolution, as too many (and even more expensive) ultrabooks offer only the generic low-end 1366 x 768 resolution.
The keyboard is a joy to type on and I'm finding that I like the slightly larger beveled keys far more than the traditional island-style keys on my Sony laptop. I noticed a bit of keyboard flex, but I'm a heavy typer and have experienced some degree of flex on every laptop/notebook I've ever used; the keyboard is still top-notch as far as I am concerned. Because of the types of computing tasks I do, I typically use a Bluetooth mouse with laptops/notebooks more than I do the trackpad, but I think that I can get used to this trackpad; by the way, there is a recommended driver update for the trackpad on Vizio's site.
There is a full-sized (not micro) HDMI port for connecting sound and video to a large monitor or TV. (An HDMI cable is, of course, not included.)
Sound quality was better than I expected, although a disclaimer is in order: I don't typically listen to music while working, and I'm no audiophile.Read more ›
HISTORY. I've been using "ultra portables" since long before they were fashionable ...and I keep them a long, long time before I move on ...I've always had other, larger laptops too, but for schlepping, "light" has been my _first_ consideration since the days I hauled a Compaq CRT-style suitcase computer around to client offices). And my first ultraportable was the venerable HP Omnibook 300 back in Windows 3.1 days (and an OB425, OB430, and OB530: I was a fan). Next was the diminutive Toshiba VHS-box-size miniture (sorry, I don't recall the model anymore ...it was a netbook, of sorts, well before the word "netbook" was coined), and I kept the Tosh' almost through to the Acer 12.1 inch that the Vizio is - finally!! - replacing. So this ain't my first rodeo lol.
PRIORITIES. In the old days, my main priority was always weight: I was always willing to pay more for less (weight, that is). Weight is still important, but now I accept light weight as a given, and so focus more on the user-to-hardware interface. IOW, I place a lot of importance on 1) the display, 2) the keyboard, and 3) the mouse/trackpad. Almost of equal importance to the display, is cost these days ...and I have to balance what I might think I wouldn't settle for less of, with what I can actually afford: I've become frugal in my dotage.
DISPLAY. I am not aware of a better display in this size. At any price point. The IPS technology means it has excellent off-axis viewabilty (so I don't have to twist the laptop around to show my wife something I want her to see when we're in bed).Read more ›
Which one do I prefer to use?
XPS for work.
Alienware and Gateway for gaming
Casual Browsing --> Vizio 14".
Very light - It feels lighter then the air.
Solid - Build quality surpasses the air.
Rubberized bottom - You know that feeling when you put cold Macbook air metal on your thighs, well I hate that feeling. Vizio really got it right. The bottom is rubber coated.
Screen - If i'm not mistaken the screen is an IPS and is 1600 x 900. Looks better then the air.
No backlight keyboard... It makes it very hard to use at night.
Track Pad is nearly unusable. - Even with the new firmware... I like a mouse anyways but seriously...? It is soo bad...
I'd get this laptop over a Air. Simply because it's less expensive by $300-$400 and it seriously is one of the best laptops I've ever used.
-Beautiful looks! Inside and outside. Somehow the color and the texture was chosen with aesthetics in mind.
-The trackpad is sensetive to light touch. I prefer touch-clicking rather than tapping the button. 2-finger scroll works pretty well for webpages.
-BLAZING FAST ! Boot time : 20 sec to reach login screen. After login, 5sec to fully load the desktop with startup apps, bluetooth connection to speakers, wifi etc . Shutdown time - 10sec. I believe this is possible because of the solid state hard drive.
-No bloatwares! In my opinion , bloatwares are utter garbage and a waste of resource. For every preinstalled program, there are 10 free open source programs out there.
-Vizio has done a fairly classy job with there own logos, startup screens etc.
-The trackpad does not respond well at times. It has completely frozen on a 2 occasions. That doesnt bother me too much. The way around this problem is a quick sleep-wake or several taps and clicks.. Its still a glitch
-I miss the Alternate Menu (Right-cick menu) key thats usually near the Right Ctrl key.
-The edges around the palm are kinda sharp and might bother you after long hours of use.
-The 128GB size of the hard drive might come and bite you one day. I have been used to a 500gb HDD for a long time. I'm already figuring out ways to put the old laptop up as a file server.
This laptop is probably the best value-for-money in the ultrabook category. I bet the prices will creep up slowly.

I bled a little. It is brown. I know that this can be normal and I also know that it can lead to m/c. If you've had this and had a successful pregnancy, I'd love to hear from you! Trying to stay positive!

I had spotting for basically the whole first trimester with my son. Like, every day. It was, as you say, brown, and in very small quantities, but it was every frikkin day and it freaked me out! I had 2 early USs, one at 6 weeks and one at 8 weeks, and no source for the bleeding was ever found...strong HB, cervix long and closed, etc.
I did find out later that his placenta was rather low; borderline previa until it moved up later in the pregnancy. I think maybe this, and having a very sensitive cervix, contributed.
I only had a very short period of spotting this time (implantation, I think); thought it was my period, actually.
Are you having a dating US? Seeing that little HB can be very reassuring. :)

I am looking to generate some random token in Java for my temporary password which should contain all the alpha numeric characters and special characters. So, I have implemented it as:
SecureRandom random = new SecureRandom();
String str=new BigInteger(500, random).toString(32);
Now my boss wants me to find a library or so to generate more better secure token containing special characters and so.... How can I do it in java?? Please help
