In particular, it is salutary to be reminded of the catastrophic sigh of relief - three quarters of a century ago - with which the British political class shifted its attention from an insoluble tangle over Northern Ireland to a distant quarrel in the Balkans, about which all parties could feel a glow of righteous indignation. It is chilling, too, to be reminded of the confidence that Bonar Law shared with his contemporaries, that the war on which this country had so readily embarked could be contained.
Bonar Law, however, deserves to be remembered for other reasons. As premier, he may have been a mere "sometime" - his 211-day tenure the shortest in recent history. But as a key figure in British politics, he had a profound influence during tumultuous years. He was also a man who aroused strong feelings. Few statesmen have inspired a greater respect and liking, and few more anger and frustration.
He was also one of the most unlikely leaders. Tory politicians in his day were supposed to be roast-beef-eating John-Bull aristocrats. Law could scarcely have been further from this stereotype: the American, log-cabin- to-White House myth comes closer. He was Britain's only Canadian premier. Born in New Brunswick the son of an Ulster-born Presbyterian minister, Law spent his earliest years in a homestead that was little more than a shack.
What lifted him from this unpromising background was the early death of his mother and his adoption by remote Scottish cousins who paid for his education at Glasgow High School, and employed him in the family merchant bank. Though he left school at 16, he attended evening lectures at Glasgow University. As a boy, Abraham Lincoln learnt every verse of Psalm 119 by heart: it was Law's boast that he had read Gibbon's Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire three times before he was old enough to vote.
The Glaswegian bourgeoisie were then (and probably still are) divided into three groups: the Strivers, who travelled to work on the seven o'clock commuter train, the Drivers who did not leave home until after their morning tea, and the Thrivers who rolled into the office after 10. Bonar Law was a lifelong Striver, hardworking, teetotal and regular in his habits. He also "took politics with his porridge" - both in the aspirantly puritanical household of which he was a member, and in the rough-and-tumble of the Glasgow Parliamentary Debating Association, where he was able to develop rhetorical skills.
There was no meteoric rise. In banking, and then as partner in a metal trading firm, he was solidly rather than spectacularly successful. In 1891 he married the daughter of a wealthy manufacturer. His parliamentary career did not begin until 1900, at the age of 42. Although his biographer claims that he made an early impression as a Tariff Reformer (the early 20th-century equivalent of a Eurosceptic), his political life was nearly terminated by a series of disasters. In the 1906 Liberal landslide, he lost his seat to a Labour candidate; three years later, his wife died, leaving him with six children between the ages of four and 15. Thereafter, it was said that he "habitually bore an air of sadness".
He was 51 and out of Parliament: prospects looked grim. In fact, his career as a front-rank politician was about to take off. Despite tragedy and setback, he returned to the House in May 1910. There was now a reckless edge: in the second election of 1910, he gave up a seat to act as standard- bearer for the Tariff Reformers in a constituency in Manchester, home of free trade. He did not win, but - having gained the aura of a Tory hero - was quickly found a seat elsewhere. A sign of his stardom was his involvement in the founding in 1911 of the super-select Other Club, with Winston Churchill and F E Smith. Meanwhile, the young Max Aitken, later Lord Beaverbrook - also a native of New Brunswick, and of Ulster Calvinist stock and newly docked in London - had made his way to Law's dinner table, offering his services as financier, publicist, acolyte and companion. The two became firm friends, to mutual benefit. At the end of 1911, egged on by Aitken, Law allowed his name to go forward for the Tory leadership as a compromise candidate. The two front-runners, Austin Chamberlain and Walter Long, feared a stalemate. Both agreed to stand down and - to his own astonishment and alarm - Law won without a fight.
Few choices could have seemed odder. Some Tory MPs felt uneasy. One commented that the party was "behaving like a gentleman conscious he has married beneath him", while the inimitable Margot Asquith observed to St Loe Strachey that politically Law was "the most sophistical untrue unsound gerry-built quick clever affectionate vulgarian I've ever seen". As usual, she missed the point. What Law offered was a set of honest instincts that fitted precisely the dominant prejudices of his party at the time.
On many matters, he was a reactionary in the sense that he had no policy except to react negatively to the initiatives of the other side. On women's suffrage, for example, he deemed it to be beneath the dignity of the Conservative Party to have any view at all. Ireland, however, was the exception. Law once told Austin Chamberlain that until the First World War, "he cared intensely for only two things: Tariff Reform and Ulster; all the rest were only part of the game." On Ulster, his father's native land, he argued, with a consistent, blocking fervour, that no Home Rule settlement was permissible unless an election was held first. To Liberals, he came across as a dangerous bigot; to his followers, as indomitable. His style was bantam-weight: neat, incisive, quickly back on his feet, and - in the words of a grudging admirer - with "the great virtue of being very unacceptable to his opponents in the House of Commons".
He also had the notable virtue - or political skill, depending on your degree of cynicism - of not arousing jealousy when the competition got intense. He gave an appearance of modesty, diffidence, even selflessness, which may or may not have belied the reality. The 1911 leadership contest provides one illustration of this aspect to his personality. The War provides others. Thus, after a crisis in 1916 produced the first Coalition, Law accepted without complaint the Colonial Secretaryship, a post a more vainglorious leader of his party would have found insultingly minor. A few months later, dissatisfaction with the conduct of the war caused a new paralysis, and the King asked Law to form a Government. Another kind of leader would have gone for it: Law remained listless, and the opportunity (if such it was) passed. "I was not at all sure," he explained, "that I was equal to such a position at such a time."
His decision was no doubt the right one. At any rate, it enabled him - as Leader of the House, Chancellor of the Exchequer and deputy Prime Minister - to become the second most important member of the new Lloyd George Government.
These were glorious times for Bonar Law, as the War was brought to a triumphant conclusion. They were his zenith. But they were terrible times as well. Within five months in 1917, Law lost two of his sons, one barely out of school. His eldest, a pilot, was shot down in France during the battle of Passchendaele. The author gives a heartrending account of how, accompanied by Beaverbrook, Bonar Law crossed the Channel and asked to see an aircraft of the type his son had flown. He then lowered himself into the cockpit of a small, battle-scarred plane and sat silent and alone for two hours. After each personal disaster, he appeared at first inconsolable. Then he simply carried on. Only when the war ended did he let his feelings show. Lloyd George wrote: "He just reads and smokes and works." During the post-Armistice celebrations, he wept as he told a friend, "This is what the victory means to me - time for a moment to mourn my dead."
Eventually the toll proved too great. "Bonar Law ought to take a drink," Lloyd George remarked. "...Failing drink, the only remedy for Bonar is a wife." He took neither, and in March 1921 physical exhaustion caused him to resign all his offices, though he remained an MP. It should have been the end: but he could not keep himself from the fray, particularly in the search for a lasting settlement over Ulster. When in the following year the Tories decided to pull the rug from under Lloyd George, Bonar Law seemed the obvious successor: a sombre, unflappable, politically sound, safe pair of hands. Law was reluctant, but he allowed his will to be broken by the flattery of younger men, with agenda of their own.
It was a dreadful error. There was an initial success: Law led his party into a landmark general election that signalled the recovery of the Conservatives as an independent force, and the permanent demise of the Liberals. Then cancer of the throat took hold. The new premier attended the wedding of the Duke of York and Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon in April 1923. The following month - having lost the ability to speak above a hoarse whisper - Law resigned. His last political act was to steer the succession away from Curzon, whom he and many others expected to take over, and towards Stanley Baldwin. He died in October. The Labour leader, Ramsay MacDonald, observed that he wrung from the opposition "a strange mysterious sympathy".
What, if anything, did he achieve? Adams claims for him the recovery of the Conservative Party, and it is certainly arguable that during his decade as leader he helped to save it from its worst contradictions, and to ensure that it was the Liberals who were destroyed by the rise of Labour. As much as any other British politician, Law can also be credited with the retention of protestant Northern Ireland in the United Kingdom. Yet it was in the nature of his paradoxical style - lonely, yet interwoven with the fabric of his team - that the consequences of his actions are hard to unravel. All politicians who want to be appreciated by posterity should keep diaries: Law left scant papers, which makes his contribution the harder to unweave. It also means that this book is almost exclusively a political study. Adams does his best on the Law family, but there is really very little to go on.
Nevertheless, the evidence gleaned from a range of sources has enabled the author to write a fascinating as well as definitive work, and to provide a convincing portrait of a substantial character. "All great men are humbugs," Bonar Law once remarked to Clemenceau, no doubt thinking of some of his own brash and flash contemporaries. Bonar Law was a Conservative in the old-fashioned sense, without an ounce of ideology. He defended, and did not create. He was not great. But, as Professor Adams shows, he was not a humbug either.

The puzzle is this. Manufacturing industry in the US is far more productive than anywhere else in the world. It turns out more goods per worker-hour than even the other industrial titans like Germany and Japan. Thus British workers in industry produce only about two-thirds as much as their American equivalents and even German workers only three-quarters as much.
For much of the past 40 years, productivity in other nations has grown faster than in the US, so there has been some catch-up. But at the current rates of growth it would take up to 60 years for Britain to catch up with US productivity levels and up to 50 years for Germany to match them. Why is America's lead so dominant?
Of course, there are some obvious potential explanations. The principal candidates are investment in capital equipment, since more of it and newer machinery based on the most advanced technology should provide an obvious advantage; a more highly skilled workforce that is innately more efficient; and higher expenditure on research and development. Together, these go part way towards accounting for America's overwhelming productivity lead.
A recent working paper from the National Institute of Economic and Social Research* explores just how far they go by comparing productivity levels between the US, UK and Germany, industry by industry, and considering the level of capital employed, R&D spending and skill levels in each case.
The international comparison turns out to vary quite widely by industry. In the UK the best relative productivity performance is delivered by rubber and plastics, which almost matches the US. But instrument engineering, electrical engineering, chemicals and motor vehicles achieve only half the American output per employee. In Germany mechanical engineering and wood products actually do slightly better than their American equivalents and rubber and plastics, clothing and metal products do almost as well.
The researchers, Geoff Mason and Mary O'Mahony, look at the three candidate explanations industry by industry, and find them lacking. For example, the amount of physical capital per worker is unquestionably higher in the US than in Britain, but investment in Germany has grown at a much faster pace than in the US, so it does not lag nearly so far behind.
In fact, Germany has the newest machinery, embodying the most recent technology, while the age of the machines in use in the US and UK is comparable. And the pattern of high levels of capital or newer machinery does not correspond well to the pattern of productivity by industry.
The role of R&D fares better as a solution to the productivity puzzle. According to the most recent figures - and they are not without their measurement problems - the US has an overwhelming advantage in accumulated spending on R&D. In the industries where Germany had a lead in R&D, like metals and mechanical engineering, its productivity is close to US levels. Britain has particularly low R&D in the car industry, perhaps reflecting the fact that foreign-owned multinationals carry out most of this spending in their home country.
However, the role of skills is a less useful explanation. Both the US and UK have a higher proportion of workers with low skills, and although America has more workers with a very high skill level than either of the other two countries, Germany has an overwhelming lead in craft and intermediate skills.
All in all, the paper concludes that these three factors leave a large part of the productivity gap between the US and the others unaccounted for. In only four industries - computers, cars, instrument engineering and transport equipment - do the conventional explanations actually explain the difference.
This confirms previous research, and there has been no shortage of speculation among economists about what might then account for the gap. The difficulty of measuring "true" innovation and the organisation of production (mass production versus craft-based techniques) have been two favourites. The management consultancy firm McKinsey has favoured the notion that the regulatory and competitive environment is decisive, with early and extensive deregulation the source of the US advantage.
Mr Mason and Ms O'Mahony put forward an alternative based on NIESR comparisons of individual plants in various industries in the three countries. These strongly suggest that the key is the importance of economies of scale.
For example, in biscuit manufacture doubled output boosted productivity by around 16 per cent. More than half of the US output was produced in plants that ran at least some production lines uninterrupted for a week or longer. Only a quarter of the British plants did this, while the German biscuit industry was geared towards the production of expensive biscuits in small batches.
In precision engineering, all of the US productivity advantage was down to bigger batch sizes. The aggregate figures simply do not include any measure of the scale of production, which is why they overlook this explanation.
This result has some profound implications. Not least, it confirms the growing importance in modern economics of the phenomenon of increasing returns to scale - or the fact that bigger is better. This was a commonplace in the profession in the 1950s, and went out of favour because it was too hard to express mathematically in formal economic models. It is now enjoying a new lease of life thanks to the importance of increasing returns in high-technology industries like biotech and computing - and to the fact that economists are better at maths than they used to be.
Some economists started concentrating on the implications of a world in which increasing returns are all-pervasive about a decade ago, but it is a safe bet that almost all new developments in economic theory will be based on this world view.
And it could change the conventional wisdom dramatically. To take just one example, acknowledging the importance of economies of scale in industry tilts the cost-benefit analysis of Economic and Monetary Union in Europe decisively in favour of the single currency. For many people have assumed that the potential economic costs caused by the loss of the ability to devalue the currency are on a par with the somewhat nebulous benefits of "completing" the single European market.
But what if creating a single economy bigger in size than the US could lead to a 20 or 30 per cent gain in productivity levels? That is the possibility held out by this solution to the productivity puzzle.

I have often mentioned a well-written letter from the heart is a great gift for almost any wife. This is not limited to those whose love language is words of affirmation; most women will feel deeply loved by a Christmas Love Letter.
The goal is to tell her how wonderful you think she is. Thank her for the ways she has blessed you this year, and admire her for the things she has done for others. Give her credit for making an effort even when the results may have fallen short of what she wanted. Tell her she is the only one for you, and being with her is better than any gift she could buy. Tell her you are looking forward to another year with her and to growing old together. Tell her she deserves better from you, and you're working on it.
Unless you have a great sex life and she's very much into it, I'd avoid the topic or make one passing reference. You want to praise and thank her, not challenge, or hint at what she could do better. Make it all about how great you think she is.
If you've never done this, try it. Spend some serious time on it; don't just bang it out in one sitting. Unless you have great penmanship, I'd suggest you print it out. A page is great, much longer is too much, and half a page is too short. Give it to her when she'll have time to read it and cry a bit. Leave it on her pillow, or if you live alone put it by the coffee so she'll see it in the morning. An unsealed envelope with her name handwritten on the front is a nice touch.

Where I stayed
I was awakened early in the morning by the sounds of strong winds. When I looked outside the window, it didn't look windy at all. The dorms were on the roof top of the hostel and as I walked out onto the roof, the sky was filled with Hot Air balloons. It was simply a stunning sight! I sat on the roof top and watched the hundreds of balloons above me and listened to the sound of hot air taking them up higher. What an awesome way to start the day.
The Cappadocia region was once home to several active volcanoes which erupted over 10 million years ago
We walked out to the Open Air museum and marveled at the strange lunar like landscape along the way. When we got to the open air museum, it was filled with tourists and stalls selling souvenirs. This museum is said to contain the finest of the rock cut churches, with beautiful wall paintings with bright colors. Most of the churches are from the 10th, 11th and 12th centuries.
The next day we headed out to one of the underground cities called Mazi. We went with Sean, a guy working at the hostel and the owners 9 year old son and his friend. We had packed a lunch so we had a little picnic before going underground!
Our local guide gave us each a big torch and we headed into the caves. It was so cool in there, we could see our own breath. I'm glad we brought our jackets even though it was so hot outside. We walked through the stables and the numerous rooms carved in the rock. He showed us the opening to the outside which was protected by a huge stone wheel that locked the cave. We then climbed through small openings to the next level. Some of them were a bit scary as we had to climb up a long tunnel with foot steps on the side of the tunnel and we were scared of slipping. I don't know how people could live in these caves for such long periods of darkness. Certainly not my cup of tea!

A maxi skirt is not only a timeless piece but also a very comfy and cozy one, especially for cold weather. How to dress up with a maxi for winter? First of all, consider the type of maxi that you need. Larger curves look great in a flowy skirt, and if you are thin, you...

Come to Hidden Content for all your DIY needs
You've probably never seen a plumber carrying a torque wrench, because the torque wrench that's used isn't a big, honkin' wrench like your mechanic uses. That would be like using a bulldozer to plant a tulip. The torque wrench in question is a small, T-handle device that you can almost hide in your palm. Proper tool for the job and all, you know.
It's a really good idea to use a torque wrench, not just so that the coupling gets tight enough, but also so that it's not overtightened. Overtightening these clamps can actually damage the rubber coupling and cause it to fail sooner.
It would be nice if the high-and-mighty "professional plumbers and electricians" on here would actually offer advice instead of constantly harping that only a card-carrying union pipefitter is qualified to do this sort of work.
And yes, I was a licensed plumber once. And yes, I did use a torque wrench on these fittings. And no, I wasn't union, so I guess there is no possible way in the world I can know what I'm talking about, so you'd better just ignore this whole post.

If someone wants to use one .... go for it .... nobody is saying not to.
Btw .... how often do you have to calibrate the T handled wrench?
"" an ounce of perception -- a pound of obscure "
- Rush
One advantage of hiring a licensed, bonded professional is that when they screw up, they have insurance to cover it and are legally obligated to make it right.
When you screw up, well, your own insurance *might* cover your stupidity.
It's always a good idea to consider the advice given, and if it seems like more than you are confident handling or you don't understand the advice, by all means call a professional.
I do own a no hub torque wrench. Use it every time to finish No-Hub couplings. Had no idea that the bands were intentionally color coded. Maybe I "need" more tools. Now I'm justified. LOL
I kinda agree with the dude but I also don't know a handful of plumbers that I'd trust to work on my plumbing. And the consumers don't even know enough to know better but still give them work all the time.
And I bet that price is list and he didn't actually pay that much for them. I'm a Liscenced Plumber and I would buy and use their tool if the job specs called for it. And the inspector will check for leaks but not usually the torque. However an Independent Inspector say on a gov't job or some engineered big commercial or industrial piping job may test it or at least ask to see your tools. And then you better have them or some extra time in the job. 'Cause that does happen. So I say the guy has a very valid point. However no one has yet mentioned that the wye had been cut down to fit in the cut out. Code violation Shhh they'll never know. It'll be fine no need to file a do not ocupy order or anything.
Okay...I'll take back what I said about no one needing a torque wrench for the clamps on a Fernco. Instead, I'll say that I don't need one. Then again, I've been doing things mechanical for about 45 years. I know enough not to use a 1/2 drive ratchet or breaker-bar to tighten a Fernco clamp, but would use a 1/4" drive ratchet. It's easy this way to feel the end-result pressure because it's an appropriate tool for the job at hand. Admittedly, a newbie DIYer may not know which tool is appropriate and may not have a feel for what is adequate pressure and what is too much or too little. For these folks...a dedicated little torque wrench is probably just the ticket.
Case in point - I have an acquaintance/friend who is the husband of my wife's college roommate. Guy teaches high school English and history ..and is the football coach. He pumps iron every single day. Can currently bench about 420, IIRC. One day his wife asks him to install a new showerhead. Pretty simple job or should have been. However, Steve has pretty much zero experience in the mechanical arenas of life (other than changing weights on his muscle-building apparatus) and has lost all concept of his actual strength. Give it all ya got is about the only way he goes at things. Well he managed to twist the shower arm completely out of the wall with nothing but his bare hands .... while attempting to change out that showerhead. Didnt know which way to turn it to unthread the critter, chose the wrong way and just gave it his all. And did he ever. Had to call in a plumber and a tile guy to put things back together again .and it werent cheap neither. This, unfortunately, is only one example in a long list of Steves DIY talents and lack of finesse costing them substantial monies.
So in conclusion . Yes, there apparently is a need for these torque wrenches even on simple jobs. But not everyone will need one. I think thats a fair statement.
PS- Don't ask Steve to tighten the screws on your eyeglasses.

We may have lost focus on the original post. The fitting in question is in the garage, at about the lowest possible point. If the coupling isn't properly tightened with the proper torque wrench, so what? If it leaks, it's not going to do any more damage than it already has, which isn't much. Simply put, it's hard to damage concrete with a little drip. And if it REALLY leaks, it'll just run down the driveway to the curb on down the street to the storm drain and out to the creek where it'll kill a couple of fish and cause an ecological disaster of Noahic proportions.
Nevertheless, the advice is good and may help some other reader.
It is an unsanitary nuisance. My torque wrench is set at 60 inch# It cost me $36 I will not name the manufacturer cause I'm notgetting paid to endorse it LOL. The budget brand was $32. It was not that big an investment. Yes, I could use a nut driver and it prolly wouldn't leak. Some one prolly took off the band to clear the drain.

Battery keeps dying
I have a 1986 Ford LTD Crown Victoria and
my battery keeps dying. I done brought 2
new batteries and they both died in my car
after maybe a hour or hour in a half of
driving. I haven't yet replaced starter or
altenator but I preformed an altenator test
with both new batteries and it showed my
altenator was still good. When it die tho,
before it goes completely dead, I hear a
rapid clicking noise coming from a circular
mount with plugs in it near where my
battery is hooked up at; like almost right
above it, over to the side a little. What is that
and does it have somthing to do with my
battery not keeping a charge?

Tuface Idibia AKA 2baba has always recorded many firsts in his music career.
He has just added one more feather to his hat.
Tuface is currently being hosted at the Campari house in Milan, Italy.
The big deal about this?
The singer and multiple award winning singer is an ambassador for Campari.
The big deal is this: Tuface is the first and only African to be so decorated in over 220 years.
This automatically adds him to an elitist list of international celebrities who have been invited to the home of Campari.
Read Also: Eminem and Drake in fresh fight?
Part of the tour includes a tour of the Campari museum and brewing a personal Campari cocktails.
The invite was finally topped with a lavish lunch at the summer home of the company's founder Gaspare Campari.
Two generations of Camparis lived at the expansive property, which housed the first ever Campari bar.
The building also houses the massive Campari global headquarters with corporate offices, a multi-purpose venue, first-class museum, and an academy.
Other celebrities that became Campari's ambassadors includes Eva Mendez, Penelope Cruz, Salma Hayek, Milla Jovovich, Benicio Del Toro, Eva Green and Kate Hudson.
They alone have been invited to the plush estate or participated in signature Campari activities since the drink was first brewed in 1860.

Tuface says this latest accomplishment marks his continuing relationship with EU where he bagged his first MTV awards in Portugal 11 years ago.
Tuface attended a workshop and other landmark sites in Milan.
The Music star went his friend and manager Efe Omorogbe.
Also on the trip is Campari Head of Marketing Abayomi Ajao and public relations expert, Ayeni Adekunle.
Tuface is currently a Judge on 'The Voice'.
The South African music talent show is sponsored by telecoms giant Airtel.

News in Brief
GOP Sens. Orrin Hatch of Utah and Chuck Grassley of Iowa charge that the developers of the HealthCare.gov website inside the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services "ignored countless red flags" in the run-up to the Oct. 1, 2013, launch of open enrollment under the 2010 health care law.
In a report issued June 19, the GOP lawmakers argue that a lack of coordinated project management inside CMS or a vendor acting as general contractor led to the failure of key components of the site. According to the report, contractors and IT personnel inside CMS, "were aware for months of gaping holes in testing, critical security concerns, and failures under the most modest simulations."
The report aggregates pre-launch reports and other government and contractor documents that have been obtained and previously made available by congressional committees, but it provides a useful timeline of the events leading up to the Oct. 1 launch, efforts by vendors and officials to explain the failures, and a current price tag for HealthCare.gov-related IT expenditures. The federal government obligated $834 million on IT contracts related to HealthCare.gov and other IT through February 2014, according to the answers supplied by Health and Human Services Secretary Sylvia Mathews Burwell.
The fiscal 2015 budget request from the Obama administration includes $200 million for IT that supports the health care law, including new development and operations and maintenance for the system.
With the FedRAMP deadline in the rearview mirror, the National Institute of Standards and Technology's Cloud Computing Program is turning to industry and government alike to tackle the biggest cloud-related issues government-wide.
The cloud working groups will address requirements NIST laid out in its "U.S. Government Cloud Computing Technology Roadmap 1.0" in 2011.The NCCP has identified three target areas on which to focus: cloud services, federated community cloud, and interoperability and portability.
The Interoperability and Portability for Cloud Computing working group aims to demystify the issues behind interoperability and portability needed for cloud computing, and also what connections exist between the two.
The second group will look at the roadmap's Requirement 5, "Frameworks to support seamless implementation of federated community cloud environments." This group will define the term "federated cloud" and develop a path to its implementation.
The third group will work with the NIST Cloud Computing Reference Architecture to establish consistent categories of cloud services to help customers get a better understanding of the service and hardware they're purchasing.
NIST is hosting a teleconference June 25 to kick start the effort, and will be discussing group goals, member roles and responsibilities, meeting schedules and deadlines for those interested in any of the working groups.
ManTech International and URS Federal have lost their second bid to unseat DynCorp International from the State Department's $165 million Vanguard 2.2.3 contract, Washington Technology reports.
DynCorp now has won the contract twice. ManTech and URS protested after the first award in July 2013, which led State to pull back the award and re-open the bidding.
State uses the contract to support its IT modernization and consolidation program.
GCN reports that Los Alamos National Laboratory has installed a new high-performance computer system, dubbed Wolf, that will be used for unclassified research. Initial science research projects to use Wolf include climate, materials and astrophysics modeling.

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.

"The problem today is that many business processes are supported by code that's written specifically for those processes. If the process changes, it can be time-consuming and expensive to rewire the application. To address that, Microsoft over time plans to introduce new workflow tools and model-driven programming capabilities for its [application] suites."
Most analyses of Microsoft's prospects in the enterprise-applications space have focused almost exclusively on the company's dalliance last year with SAP, and on its current focus on offering those applications to small and medium-sized businesses. And, to be sure, the revelation of the merger discussions does open up lots of room for fantasizing about what-ifs--could the intensely strong cultures of each company be integrated, could the combined company define a clear and consistent set of value propositions to customers, would customers look elsewhere out of concern that the New Microsoft was too big and too powerful? At the same time, there's no question that for all of its recent growth in the applications space, Microsoft's current product roster limits the company's reach into the lucrative sector of global corporations.
But the point people often overlook about Microsoft is that whatever the company "is" at any one moment in time isn't at all like what the company will be two or three years down the road. A few years ago, it had no ERP-type products; today, it's got sales of half a billion dollars and a pretty steep growth rate. A few years ago, it had only a smattering of vertical-market expertise in-house; today, it has hundreds of employees with domain expertise in specialized sectors. A few years ago, Microsoft lacked the underlying tools to attempt such a move; today, it has .Net and other development and integration technologies that give it at least a chance to convince large customers that it has the capabilities to scale with them. A few years ago, businesses of all sizes looked at Microsoft in precisely the way Microsoft defined itself: a platforms company that also happened to have a lock on the desktop-apps market; today, they see it as a serious applications player that in all likelihood will become much more serious.
So I don't think the issue is really whether Microsoft will continue its march into the enterprise application space--that deal was sealed a couple of years ago. Rather, the question is how--will it reopen discussions with SAP? Will it be the white knight for PeopleSoft, and counter Oracle's bid with an offer PeopleSoft's board and shareholders can't refuse? Will it continue to buy smaller players to complement its existing fleet--for example, last week two suppliers of enterprise apps for the retail sector with combined revenue of $340 million joined forces as JDA Software Group acquired QRS Corp. for more than $100 million. Or will Microsoft extend its shopping list outside of the software field and look to acquire a services company with deep industry expertise, such as Accenture ?
If this is a subject you'd like to know more about, here are some additional sources: our own Windows Tech Center, which includes links to all of John Foley's outstanding Microsoft coverage plus our Windows Enterprise Newsletter and our Windows Weblog; or TechWeb's Enterprise Apps Pipeline, featuring an InformationWeek story with a quote from SAP CEO Henning Kagermann saying he wouldn't be concerned even if Oracle succeeded in its bid to acquire PeopleSoft: "Honestly, if they were to become a really strong No. 2, then I could be concerned, but that is not the case"; or a recent New York Times interview with Kagermann where he leaves the door open to future discussions with Microsoft or even a rambling but occasionally interesting analysis from the Wharton Business School that has one professor concluding--quite bizarrely, some would say--that a benefit to SAP in being acquired by Microsoft would be that such a deal would "drive down some technology that SAP has to the consumer level, which is a market to which SAP simply cannot get access."
Think about it: R3 on the Xbox. Will wonders never cease?

5 Free Things to Do in New Orleans
Absorb art
Take a stroll through the Arts District along Julia Street. The bustling neighborhood is home to scores of galleries, as well as world-class museums. Don't miss LeMieux Galleries Inc., The Contemporary Arts Center, Arthur Roger Gallery, Jean Bragg, Heriad-Cimino Gallery, and Ariod Ante Contemporary Crafts Gallery.
Listen to live music
Check out the French Quarter Festival, the South's largest free music festival, held every April. Jazz, gospel, blues, classical, and Cajun acts perform on 15 stages for about 500,000 visitors. Street vendors offer regional food and drink specialties. And it all wraps up with a spectacular fireworks display!
Board a boat
Ride the Canal Street Ferry across the Mississippi. The ferry traverses the river's natural crescent to historic Algiers Point on the West Bank. When you get to Algiers Point, you'll find a 19th century residential neighborhood that survived Hurricane Katrina intact. Here you can stroll the Jazz Walk of Fame along the levee, or take a self-guided walking tour.
Wander through sculptures
Let the kids play hide and seek in the Sydney and Walda Besthoff Sculpture Garden in City Park. More than 50 contemporary sculptures populate the park, which occupies five acres next to the New Orleans Museum of Art. The collection includes works by Henry Moore, Barbara Hepworth, Arnoldo Pomodoro, Lynn Chadwick, George Rickey, Louise Bourgeois, Fernando Botero, Siah Armajani, and Sandro Chia. A free guide is available through your cell phone.
Get your groove on
Go dancing on Frenchman Street at night. Many clubs have no cover charge, and it's not quite as touristy as Bourbon Street. Some of the best clubs include the Apple Barrel, The Blue Nile Nightclub, The Maison, d.b.a., and Check Point Charlie's, which also includes a Laundromat (in case you get very sweaty!).
