The importance of CYP2B6 in drug metabolism and detoxification has been firmly established through a plethora of studies in the past decade. Although it was regarded historically as a minor enzyme with insignificant roles in pharmacology and toxicology, increasing evidence demonstrated that the relative contribution of CYP2B6 to hepatic P450 content and xenobiotics metabolism is much higher than previously estimated. The dramatic individual variability in hepatic CYP2B6 expression is closely associated with the variable systemic exposure and therapeutic response to a growing list of drugs that are CYP2B6 substrates. The long-term objective of this ongoing project continues to be elucidating the molecular mechanisms governing transcriptional regulation of human hepatic CYP2B6. Results from prior funding period clearly established human (h) PXR and CAR as the major transcription factors capable of regulating CYP2B6 induction by many drugs. However, significant interindividual variations of CYP2B6 induction cannot be explained entirely by the simplified PXR/CAR-based induction model. Recently, several studies including our own data indicated that expression of CYP2B6 gene can be influenced by liver-enriched transcriptional factors (LETFs) such as hepatic nuclear factor 4? and CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein alpha. In this proposed application, we hypothesize that specific interaction between PXR/CAR and LETFs can contribute significantly to the differential induction of hepatic CYP2B6 among individuals. We plan to test this central hypothesis by the following specific aims:
Aim #1. Characterize the association between CYP2B6 induction and the expression of LETFs;
Aim #2. Determine the mechanism(s) underlying the interplay between PXR/CAR and LETFs;
and Aim #3. Define the interaction between polymorphism(s) in CYP2B6 promoter and PXR/CAR activation. The outcomes are expected to provide novel information on the regulation of CYP2B6 induction among individuals, and to bridge the knowledge gap between CYP2B6 genetic variation and nuclear receptor-mediated induction, which may coordinately contribute to the large individual variability of CYP2B6 expression and drug response.
The proposed studies aim to provide fundamental and novel information on the regulation of CYP2B6 induction through specific interactions between PXR/CAR and liver-enriched transcription factors. The outcome from these studies is also expected to fill the knowledge gap between CYP2B6 genetic variation and nuclear receptor-mediated induction. Such information is important from both a basic pharmacological and clinical standpoint, and it will ultimately allow more accurate prediction of metabolic-associated therapeutic benefit vs. risk for drugs that are CYP2B6 substrates.

Autodesk, SQL Server 2008, and Spatial Data
Download this episode
We recently sat down with Peter Rieks, who is the product manager for Autodesk's Geospatial products. Autodesk is a global ISV known for design technology, allowing their customers to visualize, simulate, and analyze designs. While you may know them by their flagship product, AutoCAD, they provide leadership in manufacturing, media and entertainment, and architecture/engineering/construction markets. It's fascinating to find out how they have created a constructive platform to utilize spatial data in an open environment that impacts how people design buildings, roads, and physical infrastructure. Autodesk's main theme is "See it Before it's Real," and you'll glimpse how they are delivering that vision, and the impact of SQL Server 2008 in this market.

Oh wow, that was really interesting.. especially towards the end, the real world demos illustrated amazing functionality.
my limit of knowledge in GIS is a course back in high school, maybe i am missing something, but i don't see anything "new" and "cool" from then (~10 years) in this demo...
it is a cool field, but it seems more data-limited than anything else

MaxBounty - Weekly Payments
I just received an email from MaxBounty that they are starting Weekly Payments, effective this week, 5/2/2011. Minimum payment thresholds still apply.
Here is the email from MaxBounty
Not long ago, we reached out to all of our publishers to conduct a survey on their thoughts and concerns relating to MaxBounty and performance marketing through CPA networks in general. One of the most common responses from all publishers, both large and small, was that they'd like to see MaxBounty offer weekly payments.
MaxBounty launched in 2004 with the goal of being the first network created by affiliates specifically to provide a higher level of service to affiliates. Since our launch 7 years ago, we've always made the needs of our affiliates our top priority. We were among the first to move to net15 payments, provide sub-ID tracking, provide direct deposit payments, provide PayPal payments, provide an API, and offer weekly payments to our higher volume publishers.
Today, we continue to make affiliates our top priority by introducing weekly payments for all affiliates, regardless of their volume. This change to weeklies for everyone takes effect immediately, and the first round of weekly payments will go out later this week. Please do note that while weeklies are now available for all publishers, there are still a few small eligibility requirements (including meeting our minimum payment threshold and being setup for electronic payments). Your affiliate manager will have full details.
Thank you for your continued business with MaxBounty. We look forward to continuing to introduce changes that improve your work as an affiliate.

Djupvika Bay
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Djupvika is a bay between Botnneset Peninsula and Djupvikneset Peninsula in the southwest part of Lutzow-Holm Bay. It was mapped by Norwegian cartographers from air photos taken by the Lars Christensen Expedition, 1936–37, and named Djupvika (the deep bay) because of its deep indentation of the coast.[1]

The first PDGA approved disc golf baskets were invented 35 years ago by DGA. It's an informal name for disc pole hole. The other names used to describe it are hole, target, bucket, chains and pole. They are made of a chain holder attached to the top of the pole. When a thrown flying disc drops into the basket or hole after hitting through the chains, it is said that the hole is complete.
The portable ones are used in schools, communities and camps whereas the permanent ones are used in golf courses. Most of the portable baskets weigh less and without the use of bolts, they snap together very well. They comprise of steel frames and sliding links. Some of their key features are:
- They are Zinc plated.
- They have a sturdy steel frame and a trapper's basket.
Before getting any basket you should check out if it is PDGA approved or not for a long run.

This is not exactly a traditional Thai restaurant—the chicken and duck are made out of soy, one entrée is named "Three Musketeers," and the tiny 30-seat dining room is fashioned to look like the inside of a swimming pool, covered floor to ceiling in circular white tiles and basking in a lime-green glow. The flavors, however, are as bright and intense as the real thing: tender eggplant in a spicy basil sauce; papaya salad nipped with a chili-lime vinaigrette; rich noodles swimming in green, red and yellow curries. It's all good, cheap and meat-free. Just beware the desserts: They're vegan, and they taste like it.

History is the study of the past. Through it, we strive to learn why events happened, how people experienced them, and how they reshaped the societies in which they lived. We come to know ourselves by discovering in history the way in which the past shaped us, and how it created the present in which we live. To thrive in an ever more complex world, Cornell University students need to understand the diversity of human experience and how it has changed over time. Only then, we believe, will they be able to understand others or themselves.

Transcript of interview with Lord McAlpine on BBC Radio 4's The World at One.
Becky Milligan: Do you think the BBC should have called you before they put the report out on Newsnight?
Lord McAlpine: Of course they should have called me and I would have told them what they learnt later on.
BM: And what was that?
LMc: That it was complete rubbish and that I'd only ever been to Wrexham once in my life. They could have saved themselves a lot of agonising and money, actually, if they'd made that telephone call.
BM: And you would have answered the question?
LMc: Of course I would have done. I don't have any problem saying that I'm not involved in it.
BM: Did you think of ringing the BBC yourself?
LMc: I was in a state of total shock. I couldn't understand. I was in southern Italy, I don't have television, I don't get newspapers, we don't have the internet.
To suddenly find I was mixed up in all this and I didn't know what Newsnight were going to say. It really was a horrendous shock.
BM: Did you have any idea what was being said on Twitter, or on the internet, or the rumours circling around?
LMc: No, I really didn't. I mean, I had all this before with Scallywag, that sort of thing, but you know that was 20 odd years ago.
What really shattered me was when all of a sudden this has spread all over the world. It's a bit frightening when you suddenly find the depth of knowledge about this, err, this libel.
BM: When you say you were shocked at first, did you also feel anger, and what did you think you could do?
LMc: Well I felt very angry but the whole point about anger it gets in your bones, it rots, it rots your life and so I try to put anger on one side.
And I really don't have a great deal of anger. I've looked for compensation from the BBC but I'm conscious that this is the licence payer who's going to pay this - not the people who made the programme, not the people who authorised the programme, not the people who told the lie in the first place.
BM: And what about your family? Because you have children.
LMc: Grandchildren I've got
BM: And your wife, grandchildren, friends.
LMc: Yeah. My family are...I was very lucky I've got a fine wife who was very, erm, good about this whole thing and very helpful in dealing with it.
BM: But she must have been upset.
LMc: Of course she was upset, she was furious. But you know I have a big family most of whom are engaged in business or charitable undertakings or whole range of things. They're well known. This was as damaging to them as it was to me.
BM: What was the point at which you decided that you were going to come public in a way, that you were actually going to issue a statement, because up till then, you hadn't spoken about it. This was still innuendo and rumour.
LMc: Yes, events sort of pre-empted the thing and I had hoped not to need to issue a statement, but it became quite obvious by the scale of the accusations, the sheer number of accusations, something had to be done.
Then newspapers began to think more sensibly about this - and came up with the fact that this was total mistaken identity.
BM: Yes, because the Guardian newspaper then reported it.
LMc: Yes
BM: ...that morning
LMc: That was very influential in in changing the tone. Boris' article was extraordinary.
BM: And then of course, the man, the victim, who was in the film on Newsnight, Steve, Steven Messham, he released his statement saying this was actually mistaken identity and the man who he thought was you was not in fact you. What did you think then? Did you hear that?
LMc: This was beyond my comprehension. I was very grateful that he said this. I actually have deep sympathy with him.
He's obviously a man who has suffered a lot in his life. I've been blessed in my life. I've been very lucky. But he's had a terrible time. But it wasn't me.
BM: It is extraordinary - do you have any idea how that could have happened? I mean it seems an extraordinary story.
LMc: It is an extraordinary story and probably more of it will slowly trickle out, over the years, I've no doubt. We'll find things out. People will say things.
BM: But you don't have any idea at this point of time?
LMc: Well I have my own ideas, but I'm not about to sort of air them because I strongly feel people ought to be damn sure about something before they air it.
BM: And let me talk about your reputation.
LMc: Yes.
BM: How much damage do you think there's done and can this ever be repaired?
LMc: No it can't be repaired. It can be repaired to a point. But there is a British proverb which is insidious and awful where people say "there's no smoke without a fire", you know, "he appears to be innocent, but..."
BM: I have to say, someone said that to me about this story.
LMc: Yeah
BM: And they weren't connected with the media or anything -
LMc: No
BM: and they just said, well "there's no smoke without a fire" and I said, "well, actually there is." But it's very difficult isn't it?
LMc: It's very difficult and so this is the legacy that sadly the BBC have left me with.
BM: And you don't think you'll ever be able to recover completely?
LMc: Well look, I'm 70 years old, I've got a very dicky heart. And, so I don't want to die. Not for another 20 years at least, but I don't see it going away completely. I think in the light of the arrangements that I can make, my lawyer will make, anyone who does bring it up is going to be very, very foolish.
BM: And if we return briefly back to Steven Messham. He's made a comment that he would, he sincerely apologises and that he would like to meet you and that he would hope...
LMc: I don't want to meet him, thank you. I see what he feels like but I just don't want to go there again. I want to get this over. I want to get it cleared up. And, I just don't want to go there.
BM: And if we look at it now, and if you get these settlements, how will you feel? Will it make you feel better? A sense of relief?
LMc: Look I've ... I will feel better not from settlements, but from my wife, my family, my friends. The people I don't even know who've written to me. That's what makes you feel better. The settlement will just be a warning – don't go there.
BM: There were these allegations in a magazine called Scallywag, a while back. Do you wish you'd dealt with them then? Or why didn't you?
LMc: Well they were dealt with – Scallywag went bankrupt, they stopped. Then in the investigation in to these homes in Wales, the Judge took out an injunction to stop people naming people whose names were raised in the course of evidence, err, at that time, some of the press reporting said there were, there was dark figures, there were rumours, counter-rumours.
Nobody knows where these rumours came from. You know, they've called for, that there was a cover up. But you can't have a cover up where there was no crime. And so, there was rumour and counter-rumour but it wasn't anyone you could get your hands on.
You couldn't really do very much for it. And it wasn't by any manner or means persistent. It was spasmodic. It would pop out of the woodwork, but it never had the same impact as suddenly finding it on the BBC. Because strangely enough, all over the world, people believe the BBC to be one, or possibly the only, honest voice.
BM: In your statement you said that you'd be willing to meet all the people who were involved in the inquiries that have been set up by the government.
LMc: Yes
BM: Have you met them, or are you planning to meet them and the police?
LMc: Well, we've made some offers, but nobody seems very interested in meeting me at the moment.
BM: Really?
LMc: In terms of official functions and functionaries. I think the truth is they're awfully busy with this inquiry.
BM: So, they didn't want you to come along and help.
LMc: Not at the moment, no, but I reiterate that, I'd be happy to talk to any official body that wants to talk to me. But I think in the light of the victim having said that he'd got the wrong the man, the BBC having said they've got the wrong man, the Guardian saying they've got the wrong man, I think that's a good spectrum of support. I doubt if anyone wants to waste time chatting with me.
BM: In an article in the Telegraph, Boris Johnson, the London Mayor, Conservative, said to call someone a paedophile is to "consign them to the lowest circle of hell - and while they're still alive".
Is that where you've been?
LMc: Absolutely. I think it describes pretty much what happened to me in the first few days of this event ... it gets in to your bones. It gets into, it makes you angry. And that's extremely bad for you to be angry. And it gets into your soul. You just think there's something wrong with the world.
BM: Did it feel like you were in a different, something, that you're not really yourself? I mean that this was happening to someone else?
LMc: Yes, that's one of impressions I had at that time. This is happening to somebody else. This ... I'm just hearing this stuff. It's not really me. I didn't recognise myself at any of this.
BM: And, are you beginning to see what has happened. Is the reality of it sinking in?
LMc: Yes, it's beginning to sink in. But even now, when we go away and I go to bed for the night and I go to sleep. I wake up in the morning and I'll still wonder about this thing. It'll still be on my mind.
It becomes part of your conversation. It becomes part of your life. I don't want to be too dramatic about the thing, but Boris got it right. There is nothing as bad as this that you can do to people.
BM: I think it's being accused of being a paedophile.
LMc: Yes. Because they are quite rightly figures of public hatred. And suddenly to find yourself a figure of public hatred unjustifiably is terrifying.Reuse content

Still having weird temps 09/18/2008
This review is from: Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 Yorkfield Quad-Core 2.83 GHz LGA 775 95W BX80569Q9550 Desktop Processor
It's an awesome processor, no doubt. If you can get reliable temperature readings, it would be fantastic
This was my second Q9550. Today's temps after install were 21C, 31C, 56C, 56C. I cleaned the CPU and Heat Sink, reseated it, fired 'er up again, same temps. Ran a sensor calibration on Real Temp, found 0 movement in cores 2 and 3. Just to be certain i put my dual core back in and found no problems with my installation method.
RMAd for refund today, hoping to find something more reliable.

Targeting Nominal Income in a Dynamic Model
The author analyzes the choice of monetary policy rule in a perfect-foresight-planning model. Maximizing agents plan their lifetime consumption decisions in the face of two rigidities. First, households hold money to aid trade. Second, today's price level is inherited from past contracting decisions so that changes in nominal aggregate demand fall on output in the short run. Given these rigidities, the central bank can set real balances in the short run and the author compares two mu = percent rules. His theoretical results suggest that the choice between fixed-money-growth and fixed-nominal-income-growth rules is an empirical assessment that depends on the distribution of shocks to the economy.

text: Brandon Callies Band was formed in Greenville, Texas in 2007 by the band's singer/songwriter, Brandon Callies. The band recorded their first EP "Unique Normalities" and began playing shows in the Dallas area. After a few years of performing in Dallas, Brandon relocated the band to Austin, Texas where they recorded their debut full length album "The Gunner" in 2011. The album was met with good reviews which led to more regional and high profile shows. In 2013, the band was signed to Hand Drawn Records, and they released a new EP entitled "Life Is Still Good." The EP is a reflection of finding beauty in the pain and inspiration in what seems to be hopeless situations. In early 2015, the band recorded a live album entitled "Be Quiet! We're Recording," which really showcases the band's ability to perform. At the end of 2015, Brandon Callies Band released their full length studio album entitled "There's A Killer Down In Texas." After months of support on their new album, the band changed it's moniker to Brandon Callies & the American Revival.

Book DescriptionProblem-solving is an art central to understanding and ability in mathematics. With this series of books, the authors have provided a selection of worked examples, problems with complete solutions and test papers designed to be used with or instead of standard textbooks on algebra. For the convenience of the reader, a key explaining how the present books may be used in conjunction with some of the major textbooks is included. Each volume is divided into sections that begin with some notes on notation and prerequisites.

By working through the books, the student will gain a deeper understanding of the fundamental concepts involved, and practice in the formulation, and so solution, of other problems. Books later in the series cover material at a more advanced level than the earlier titles, although each is, within its own limits, self-contained.

Marge, I live just east of Houston, TX. As I mentioned, I do have two
irises that grow and bloom here. I also have other iris plants that I
believe are TB but although they grow they haven't bloomed as yet and
I have had them for several years. Maybe I am like your "south of the
border" friends whose irises don't do well. I don't think it has to
do with my soil as I grow anything in the Amaryllis family, daylilies
and other common flowering plants. It does get hot here. Today it is
near 100 and we desperately need rain.
I look at the pictures you and other growers show and I just about die
wishing I could grow them. Thanks for your reply.

Woodside is looking to replace our Town Manager with someone just like the current Town Manager, Susan George.
With very little in sales tax revenues, Susan manages to run a balanced budget, with no debt and, in fact, a full one year of cash reserves on our balance sheet. Importantly, we have very little political drama and zero scandal... just the way we like it.
If our friends in neighboring cities and towns need proof that the selection of your City Manager is absolutely paramount, the feedback for this current search should be it.

Makes 4 Appetizer Servings
Sake-Pickled Salmon
1 tablespoon pickling spices
1 tablespoon Szechwan peppercorns
4 star anise pods
2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger
1 cup rice vinegar
1/2 cup sake
1/4 cup sugar
1-1/2 tablespoons kosher salt
1/2 cup thinly sliced red onion
12 ounces salmon fillets, skin
and pin bones removed, cut into 1-inch cubes
Wasabi Crème Fraîche
1/2 cup crème fraîche or sour cream
1 tablespoon wasabi powder
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Herb Salad
Leaves from 1/2 bunch flat-leaf (Italian) parsley
Leaves from 1/2 bunch tarragon
1/2 bunch fresh chervil, stemmed
1 bunch fresh chives, cut into 1-inch lengths
Scallop shells and rock salt for serving (optional)
Seaweed for garnish (optional)
To make the pickled salmon: Tie the pickling spices, peppercorns, star anise, and ginger into a cheesecloth square. Put the spice sachet in a medium saucepan and add the rice vinegar, sake, sugar, and salt. Bring the liquid to a boil. Add the onion, reduce heat, and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove and discard the sachet.
Put the salmon cubes in a small bowl. Pour the pickling liquid and onions over the salmon, making sure that it is covered by the liquid. If not, use a smaller bowl or add a little water to cover. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to 10 hours. Stir gently once or twice to make sure that the fish is evenly covered with the liquid.
To make the crème fraîche: Stir all the ingredients together in a small bowl. Set aside, or cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days.
To make the salad: Toss all the herbs together in a small bowl. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
To serve, remove the salmon from its pickling liquid with a slotted spoon and drain on a kitchen towel. Place equal portions of salmon in each of 4 martini glasses, or alternatively, into scallop shells that are nestled into a bed of rock salt. Top with a dollop of the wasabi crème fraîche, then with some of the herb salad. Drape with a little seaweed, if using.
Fish with a firm texture and a moderate-to-high fat content are best for pickling. Try this recipe with mackerel, cod, herring, or tuna. Sour cream easily replaces crème fraîche, and any combination of herbs may be used in the salad. Arugula would also be fine.

Analysis: Clippers' fans imagining possibilities
One minute it's Doc Rivers. Then, it's Doc Rivers, Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce.
And just when you're finished digesting that, it's Chris Paul and Dwight Howard, texting back and forth about teaming up.
So far this NBA offseason, the Clippers have been the subject of rumor after rumor, some more plausible than others.
Today's batch, like most, only makes sense on the surface.
In addition to being the setting for one out of every three heist movies released, Boston has also been a city unwilling to bottom out because of a remarkable run of sports successes. The Red Sox, the Patriots, the Bruins and the Celtics have all won rings in the past decade.
Understandably, the city, and more importantly, ownership now expects winners. In the Celtics case, one more run at a title was probably two years ago. Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce are both still effective players, but they're not as consistent as they were.
With their stars aging, some people involved with the Celtics want to strip the roster for parts and re-build. Others, though, aren't so convinced.
That back-and-forth haggling has Rivers seeming unsure about his future with the Celtics. Trouble is he has three years and $21 million left on his contract. If Rivers walks and takes another job, you'd think someone would have to match that money.
Let's assume the money isn't an issue for Rivers and he resigns. Then of course the Clippers would want Rivers as their coach – only a handful of teams in the NBA wouldn't view him as an upgrade.
Now for the next layer of the Celtics-Clippers rumor. First, the Clippers would have to trade for Garnett. That probably means sending at least DeAndre Jordan to the Celtics. Maybe the asking price is even higher with Boston asking for Eric Bledsoe and/or draft picks.
That's a lot to give up for a 37-year-old big man with creaky bones and joints.
Pierce is even more complicated because of the nearly $17 million he's set to make. That number makes him almost untradeable, but Pierce's deal is only partially guaranteed. The Celtics could buy him out or trade him for spare parts to a team that's willing to buy him out. If that happened, then he'd become a free agent and then the Clippers could pounce.
A ton of things would have to go right for the Clippers to become Celtics West. That doesn't mean the Clippers' front office isn't interested. It just means that it's tricky.
The team had been working on scenarios that could possibly lure Howard down the hall at Staples Center, and in theory, it makes sense.
The Clippers offer all the perks of Los Angeles without the shadows of Wilt, Kareem and Shaq. Blake Griffin, Chris Paul and Howard would be the best fitting big three in the NBA, immediately making the Clippers title favorites.
The Clippers can't offer Howard the maximum without gutting their current roster – something they'd probably be willing to do. But in getting rid of Jordan, Caron Butler, Bledsoe or whoever, the Clippers couldn't take money back. They would have to ship those players to teams under the cap and only take back draft choices or players who wouldn't affect the salary cap.
The Clippers could hypothetically do a sign-and-trade with the Lakers, but for that deal to work, Griffin would likely have to be involved. That's not happening for a bunch of reasons.
Are there chances that the Clippers could acquire Garnett and/or Pierce and hire Rivers as their coach? Sure. Could the Clippers possibly lure Howard across town? Yeah, they could.
But until significant steps are made in either direction, both scenarios are merely possibilities. And possibilities don't win titles.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sir Mungo Malagrowther is a fictional character in Walter Scott's 1822 The Fortunes of Nigel. He is a courtier soured by misfortune, and who would have everyone be as discontented as himself.
In 1826 Scott wrote the Letters of Malachi Malagrowther to attack British government proposals to reform the issue of banknotes by private banks, adopting the transparent persona of a purported descendent of Sir Mungo.[1] His campaign led to Scottish banks continuing to print their own banknotes.

President Barack Obama spoke to the press on Nov. 14 about launch problems with HealthCare.gov and the larger challenges of federal IT procurement.
President Barack Obama told reporters that he was not kept up to date on pre-launch problems with the HealthCare.gov website in the run-up to the Oct. 1 open enrollment date.
"I was not informed directly that the website would not be working as — the way it was supposed to," Obama said in a Nov. 14 press conference. "You know, I'm accused of a lot of things, but I don't think I'm stupid enough to go around saying, this is going to be like shopping on Amazon or Travelocity, a week before the website opens, if I thought that it wasn't going to work."
Obama took aim at the federal IT procurement system as one of the culprits for the deeply flawed website launch. He noted that while his campaign could freely build whatever technology suited its needs, the situation is different in federal IT. "If you're doing it at the federal government level, you're going through 40 pages of specs and this and that and the other, and there are all kinds of laws involved, and it makes it more difficult. It's part of the reason why, chronically, federal IT programs are over budget, behind schedule," Obama said.
As Obama's "tech surge" team, headed by former administration official Jeff Zients and assisted by federal CTO Todd Park, looks to put HealthCare.gov on stable footing, some in government are looking to future IT reforms.
Richard Spires on the HealthCare.gov rollout: What should we learn?
"I think the way we implement technology, the speed at which technology moves, often times it's challenging to drive innovation in the context of cycles that take six to nine months, a year or more to implement technology, and by the time you get the procurement done, the technology will change," federal CIO Steve VanRoekel told reporters after a speech in October. "But procurement's not the only thing. It takes great governance, great management, an eye toward cybersecurity -- all of these things have to come into concert."
And according to two top former federal IT officials, the government already has many of the tools and strategies it needs to drive success in complex, long -term IT projects.
Part of the problem with HealthCare.gov goes back to the planning stages, before contractors were even hired, said former Bush administration IT official Karen Evans. The requirements of the 2010 health care law and its accompanying regulations have an impact on how the HealthCare.gov website was designed and scoped. Evans, who served for six years in the Office of Management and Budget, said the problems with HealthCare.gov are emblematic of a flawed governance structure.
"IT projects are particularly good at highlighting management failings because they require coordination between many different parts of an organization," she said in a Nov. 13 hearing of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. "If the agency CIO is not actively at the management table, participating in those decisions and, more importantly, explaining the ramifications of the policy decisions they are making, then projects get off-track and ultimately fail."
IT projects are particularly good at highlighting management failings.
-- Karen Evans
Richard Spires, the former CIO of the Department of Homeland Security [and an occasional FCW contributor], testified at the same hearing. He said the rollout of HealthCare.gov demonstrates "fundamental weaknesses in the program management processes" and an incorrect balance between the business and IT organizations at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, which was responsible for building the.
Spires told legislators that integrated testing should have been completed six months before launch, with three months of end-to-end testing, and a pilot phase or beta period in which a select user group could have discovered further bugs in the system, giving developers time to make corrections.
While Spires recommended passing legislation to give agency CIOs clear lines of authority and visibility into projects and to establish government-wide centers for sharing best practices, most of the reforms he suggests could be adopted into the business of IT procurement and development under current law.
The stakes are high, Spires noted, not simply to avoid public embarrassments like the launch of a buggy, untested website, but because IT is going to be increasingly important to the efficient delivery of government services in an era of technological change and constrained federal budgets.
"Our government, if it more effectively manages IT, can harness its transformational capability, significantly improving government's effectiveness and efficiency," Spires said.

The new $7.5 billion SETI acquisition program aims to rapidly contract innovative technologies and solutions across the Defense Department.
The Department of Commerce is revising its confidentiality agreement for statistical data survey respondents to reflect the fact that the Department of Homeland Security could see some of that data if it is captured by the Einstein system.
In a Feb. 17 memo, Defense Secretary Jim Mattis told senior leadership to establish teams to look for duplication across the armed services in business operations, including in IT and cybersecurity.
State election officials had more questions than answers after a Department of Homeland Security presentation on the designation of election systems as critical U.S. infrastructure.
The government desperately needs younger talent to replace an aging workforce, and experts say that a freeze on hiring doesn't help.
The Department of Veterans Affairs will test an internally developed scheduling module at primary care sites nationwide to see if it's ready to service the entire agency.
I'll loose little sleep over this. The president is responsible for not just the HealthCare.gov website mess but because of his lack of honesty ("I was not informed directly that the website would not be working as — the way it was supposed to,") has now caused additional light on the IT procurement process/policies. We all know now that his statements are questionable. "DIRECTLY" will no doubt be that he knew of the mess, but did not receive the information DIRECTLY from HHS. Ah right! As noted in other remarks posted, after several years and committees later, nothing changes and nothing will change in the next three years. This Administration is damaged and a lame duck! So, we will continue with the current policies and processes for another three years - at least. There is no one that can carry the water, and if we do find someone, where will he/she carry it!
Whatever comes out of this predictable mess, another central committee oversight process that further dilutes IT authority and program manager accountability will only slow things down further and not improve outcomes. CIOs often lack the program management skills and their authority is further ambiguated by U.S.C. 22202.
Clinger Cohen Act tried to fix this, but the rice bowls and waste fed a strong lobby that refused change. The IT Acquisition Advisory Council (IT-AAC) was stood up in 2008, believing that there was sufficient critical mass and national security threat as noted in the landmark 09 Def Science Board rpt. Hopefully, we have the perfect storm to move the discussion towards action. We don't need any more studies by FFRDCs who are vested in the status quo. FITARA will also fall short if we leave the system to its own devices. Bring back National Performance Review that will hold up bonuses and fire non-performers.
Our nation is bleeding badly..... who is ready to be part of the solution and put country first (not the $). I am having a hard time finding a handful.
