Federal Real Property Management
Chairman Horn, Chairman Franks, and members of the subcommittees, my name is G. Martin Wagner. I am the Associate Administrator for Governmentwide Policy, General Services Administration (GSA). The Office of Governmentwide Policy (OGP) is one of four major activities within GSA, the others being the Public Buildings Service, the Federal Supply Service, and the Federal Technology Service. GSA created OGP to establish a central point for sound policy development, research, 'sharing best practices, and consensus building across the full range of Government administrative support activities.
With me here today is Mr. Robert Peck, the Commissioner of the Public Buildings Service, and Mr. David Bibb, the Deputy Associate Administrator for Real Property.
Under Mr. Bibb's direction, the Office of Real Property explores and develops asset management policy concepts. Its objective is to improve the policies and processes with which Federal agencies acquire, use, and dispose of the property interests they need to conduct their missions.
The Government presently owns or leases approximately 3.2 billion square feet of building space, as well as millions of acres of both improved and unimproved land. The attached charts illustrate this 3.2 billion square foot building area, which is our sphere of influence under the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act of 1949, as amended (Property Act).
We are pleased to appear before you today to highlight some of GSA's views concerning the present state of Federal real property management.
Prevailing La : The Property Act is the centerpiece in the body of law that governs the acquisition, use, and disposal of most classes of Federal real property. This law has served the Nation well for the past 50 years, but it has never been significantly revised.
Certain elements of the Property Act restrict the Government's ability to adapt some "best practices" that have become commercial standards. The law is especially ill suited to the current national objectives of downsizing, streamlining, and creating a Government that works better and costs less.
Present State of the Federal Inventory: The Federal real property inventory is enormous, globally distributed and aging. Its utility is diminished by properties that are in poor condition, functionally obsolete, environmentally flawed, or otherwise mismatched to current requirements of the missions it is supposed to support.
In many of its reports addressing real property issues in recent years, the General Accounting Office (GAO) has observed that Federal agencies are generally reluctant to relinquish unneeded or marginally productive properties because of the lack of any genuine incentive to do so. Where GSA has been asked to respond to such issues in these reports, we have emphasized our concurrence with GAO's views.
We also concur with a statement by the National Research Council in its 1998 report entitled Stewardship of Federal Facilities, A Proactive Strategy for Managing the Nation's Public Assets, that "Federal agency program managers, the GAO, and research organizations have all reported that the funding allocated for the repair and maintenance of federal facilities is insufficient." Among its findings, the report also asserts that government processes and practices are generally not structured to provide for effective accountability for the stewardship of federal facilities and that management, budgeting, and financial processes create disincentives and institutional barriers to cost-effective facilities management and maintenance practices.
Discoveries and Interim Measures: GSA has noted the findings of the National Research Council, the General Accounting Office, and other bodies that have studied contemporary Federal property management issues. We have remained mindful of their common themes and compared them with the product of our own examination of the effects of prevailing law and regulations. We have also made some important discoveries in the course of collaborations with other Federal agencies, prominent private sector entities, and our counterparts in both domestic and foreign governments.
From our studies and contacts we were able to identify certain measures that could be undertaken in the short term to stimulate more enthusiasm for good asset management within the Federal community.
We established the Federal Real Property Council to provide an interagency forum for all land holding agencies to air their views and thus properly influence Governmentwide real property policy formulation.
In collaboration with the Federal land holding agencies, we developed and published a set of Asset Management Principles intended to serve as touchstones for the measurement of the quality of Federal real property decision-making.
Among other studies, we conducted two of special mention.
One was on Governmentwide Real Property Information Sharing (GRPIS). This was an inquiry to determine the best means of sharing real property information among agencies within a community for purposes of promoting economy and operational efficiencies.
The other is referred to as the Governmentwide Real Property Disposal Review-, it involved an evaluation of the effectiveness of current policies in the present Government downsizing environment.
We also established a Real Property Information Clearinghouse to provide electronically accessible information on real estate data, organizational structures, and commentaries by real estate professionals on policy and procedures topics.
We have revitalized the Foundation Information for Real Property Management (FIRM) database, which is a computerized tool provided to Federal agencies for use in managing their real property.
Finally, we established a GSA Achievement Award for Real Property Innovation, which is given annually to recognize especially meritorious practices that have been developed in the Federal community.
The foregoing projects were possible within current legislative authorities. They have enjoyed a gratifying degree of popularity and praise, and we will continue to refine them and look for further opportunities to institute practical enhancements to Federal real property management processes.
We believe, however, that in order for the Government to improve its stewardship of real property assets, certain statutory barriers must be removed, and certain authorities must be modernized to meet the challenges of today's commercial realities.
Legislative Solutions: The Property Act requires that whenever a Federal agency finds that its real property portfolio and mission requirements are mismatched, the agency must either adapt to the detected shortcomings or relinquish affected property as excess, and then obtain appropriations for the acquisition of replacement facilities. As reported by the National Research Council, many agencies are unable to obtain sufficient funding for their real property capital and maintenance needs.
We suggest that the interests of the Government would be better served if the agency were able to restore and optimize the mission support role of particular real property by putting it to use through a number of new tools and by establishing new incentives to encourage sound asset management.
We envision special authorities which would permit agencies to dispose of property (1) by exchange, both within and without the Federal community, to obtain other property better suited to their mission support needs; (2) by outleasing temporarily underutilized portions of property on a short-term basis; (3) by allowing agencies to retain proceeds from property sales and outleases; and (4) in judiciously selected cases, by allowing agencies a special long-term outleasing authority to engage in public/private partnership arrangements that can be shown to provide extraordinary support to Federal mission purposes.
Consideration received by an agency would be acceptable in the form of money, services, or a mix of those values. Non-monetary consideration could be in the form of any blend of protection, maintenance, managerial, restorative, developmental, or other valuable services. These forms of consideration should optimize the role of the affected asset in supporting the mission to which it is related.
If these innovative authorities are enacted into law, we believe that monetary revenues accruing to an agency as a result should be used to improve the balance of its real property portfolio or to meet other non-recurring needs. Further provisions should be included to require--
(1) that advance notices be provided to interested committees of the Congress in cases that exceed a specified value threshold; and
(2) that any proposal to use these special authorities must take place in relation to asset management planning that is linked to the strategic planning periodically required under the Government Performance and Results Act of 1993.
Given these controlling specifications, we are convinced that the envisioned special authorities would be a boon to Federal landholding agencies. Over time, they would help bring about a condition where agency real property portfolios would be characterized by a high ratio of well performing properties excellently aligned with mission needs. Properties of poor functional quality will have been either culled from Federal inventories or restored to optimum performance.
Chairman Horn, Chairman Franks, this concludes my prepared statement. I will be pleased to answer any questions you or the members of the subcommittees may have.

Tests and review of the Sigma 150mm F2.8 EX DG OS HSM APO Macro Canon lensWednesday January 18 2012 Lens Review
The Sigma APO MACRO 150mm F2.8 EX DG OS HSM is a large-aperture macro-telephoto lens that integrates Sigma's Optical Stabilizer (OS) system.
This 2010 successor to the APO MACRO 150mm F2.8 EX DG HSM, which came on the market in October 2004, incorporates the latest innovations in optics technology.
Sigma designed a floating focusing system two moving lens element groups to enhance the optical quality down to macro 1:1. Three low-dispersion glass elements were also used to try and correct chromatic aberrations. The OS letters in the name stand for "Optical Stabilization" and help you keeping you from moving when shooting in low light.
And, even if this design is quite heavy and expensive, it performs nicely:
As we have not yet tested the Canon and Nikon 150mm, we will here compare the Sigma 150mm with a Canon 100mm instead. Both lenses are generally used for portrait, macro, and sports photography.
Sigma APO MACRO 150mm F2.8 EX DG OS HSM Canon vs Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro USM mounted on a Canon EOS 1Ds Mark III body:
- Resolution: with a score of 57lp/mm, both lenses are very good. The field map for the two lenses are rigorously identical and display very good sharpness across the entire field. Both attain their best performances at f/5.6. Again, very good lenses.
- No noticeable problems with distorsion and transmission. Note that any real distortion would be surprising - even at an aperture of 2.8, the distortion for this type of lens is always quite low.
- No problems in term of chromatic aberrations.
- Vignetting: Very strong at f/2.8 for the Sigma and significant for the Canon for the same aperture.
Technically, both lenses have both the same good and bad qualities, so users will need to find other criteria to use for choosing between them - specifically, users should refer to the manufacturers' specifications (included in their DxOMark profiles), paying particular attention to price, weight, number of glass elements, and of course the focal length.
The Sigma, at 1099USD, is twice as expensive as Canon (536USD), and it is also twice as heavy (1179g vs. Canon's 600g).
Several factors explain these differences: first of all, the Sigma lens contains 19 glass elements compared to the Canon's 12; second, the Sigma's mechanics are heavier, and it has a tripod stand; and third, although they are the same length (79mm), the Sigma has a much larger diameter (72mm vs. the Canon's 58mm).
Taking into consideration this analysis, our advice is - if you do not absolutely require a 150mm lens, you should opt for the Canon 100mm. You will get the same quality at a much better price, without the inconvenience of greater weight and bulkiness.

Received the replacement Sigma 150mm EX DG OS HSM APO last week. This lens seems to be very sharp at f2.8. I have my own routine for testing new lenses and this one passed easily. The lens is a fine replacement for Sigma's original 150mm f2.8.
With my 5D2 I can hand hold the lens to 1/25th second in flourescent lighting that requires F2.8 at ISO 3200 with -1 stop exposure adjustment. I do not know the lux value of that setting. I think that is EV -1. I do not think the OS is really good for 4 stops as advertised, but it is good for 2 stops for sure under these lighting conditions. That puts it on par with my Canon 300mm f4 L IS lens. I have no scientific evidence, but that's what it seems like to me.
The auto focus with my 5D2 is a little quirky under the very dim conditions described above. By that I mean that it I can not always use the center af point alone. I have not tried this same test with my 7D, which has a better autofocus system than the 5D2.

1/25s, f/2.8, ISO3200 = 2.6 LV
If you have to use -1 EVcomp in camera to get the exposure you want, that means that you are getting the camera to expose shorter (considering just the variation of shutter speed) than its metering wants too, and that otherwise the camera would treat it as a 1.6 LV exposure.
If instead you apply -1 EV in post processing in your raw processor and no EVcomp in camera, that means that you think that the 2.6 LV exposure that the camera chose is too long and, in your opinion, the metering should have treated the scene as a 3.6 LV exposure.

Sigma 150mm F2.8 EX DG OS HSM APO
I received mine by UPS on June 29th. I sent it back to the distributor on July 1st. The OS was not functional and the resolution was horrible. I did ask for a replacement rather than my money back. My fingers are crossed. I really want a macro lens of this focal length, or longer, that has image stabilization and is somewhat weather sealed. Sigma's old 150mm is the lens I used most often with my Canon 5D and 7D cameras. I never used the lens indoors. It was always outside in the elements, so I had to send it in to get dust removed. Now, I am wishing I had kept that lens. Instead, I am hoping that the new model will live up to the quality of the old one.

Cleveland Foundation Announces April Gift
(CLEVELAND) -The Cleveland Foundation announced Wednesday that its April centennial gift to the community – Cleveland Foundation Day at Cleveland Metroparks Zoo – celebrates the special role the foundation, through its donors, has played in the creation and longevity of Cleveland Metroparks.
On Saturday, Apr. 26, Cleveland Metroparks Zoo, including The RainForest, will be open for free admission from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
It's the first free weekend day for all visitors to Cleveland Metroparks Zoo in nearly 20 years.
In honor of the foundation's centennial, Cleveland Metroparks, Cleveland Metroparks Zoo, and the Cleveland Zoological Society are joining forces to develop special family programming throughout Cleveland Foundation Day at Cleveland Metroparks Zoo.
Since Earth Day is in April, the programming will focus on sustainability and conservation and their impact on wildlife and wild places through fun, interactive activities for families.
"Cleveland Metroparks was established, in part, as a result of one of the first studies the foundation commissioned back in 1919.
Today, it's impossible to imagine our community without Cleveland Metroparks and the Zoo," said Robert E. Eckardt, executive vice president of the Cleveland Foundation.
"We want to help make sure Greater Clevelanders enjoy the great nationally-renowned assets available right in our own backyards, which is why we're opening the gates to the Zoo for this rare free day opportunity for Northeast Ohio families."

Area of interest
My lab focuses on actin-based cell motility. Actin-based motility is a key component in many cellular processes relevant to clinical problems such as cancer metastasis, birth defects and compromised immune function. We are using both molecule-based and unbiased genetic/proteomic approaches to understand the fundamental problem of cell migration and other aspects of actin-based motility. We utilize the techniques of high-resolution live cell microscopy, biochemistry, gene silencing/disruption and other molecular manipulations to uncover some of the underlying mechanisms of cell motility.
Most of our effort is focused on the role that Coronins play in cell migration and other actin-based processes. Coronins are a highly conserved family of F-actin binding proteins containing both WD40 repeats and potential Arp2/3 binding sites. In Dictyostelium, these proteins are strongly localized to the leading edge of migrating cells. Together, these observations led us to hypothesize that Coronins coordinate signal transduction and actin dynamics at the leading edge of migrating cells. While some information is known about the yeast and Dictyostelium homologues of these proteins, they have been poorly studied in mammalian systems. To study these proteins, we use cell biological, biochemical and molecular approaches. We have begun generating and characterizing reagents to study the mammalian Coronins including GFP-tagged expression constructs and polyclonal antibodies to selected family members. Major structural features such as the WD40 repeats and putative Arp2/3 binding site will be mutated and the effect on localization/function analyzed. To identify interacting proteins, two-hybrid approaches and biochemical purification of Coronin-containing complexes are being developed. In addition, overexpression, RNAi-mediated knockdown and dominant-negative approaches will be utilized to determine Coronin's role in cell motility.

Sydney coach John Longmire will ask Harry Cunningham and Jake Lloyd to step into the gap left by star AFL midfielder Dan Hannebery.
Scans on Monday revealed the All-Australian had damaged the ligaments in front of his right ankle during Saturday afternoon's four-point win over Port Adelaide, ruling him out for up to a month.
"He's a got a slight syndesmosis injury in his ankle, which means he'll probably miss about four weeks," Longmire said.
"It could be either side of that though, so it could be a shorter time frame than that, or at worst it could be a little bit longer."
While the injury won't require surgery, Longmire said Hannebery's ligaments would need to fully heal before he could return to the field.
"He'll be non-weight bearing for the next 10 days and hopefully it's OK after that," he added.
"We have to wait and see, but at the moment it's four weeks."
That would mean Hannebery misses matches against Richmond, GWS, West Coast and Carlton before returning in time for the club's blockbuster with Hawthorn on July 26.
Longmire said after a quiet start to the season, Hannebery had been one of the club's key weapons.
"He's out now, and we're fortunate we've been blooding some extra midfielders through that area," he said.
"Cunningham and Lloyd and players like that... they just get more responsibility.
Second-year Cunningham and rookie Lloyd have impressed without being prolific ball-winners for the Swans.
Lloyd is yet to play in a losing side for the Swans after making his debut at the beginning of their eight-game winning streak against Fremantle.
Their first opportunity to impress Longmire will come on Friday night against the Tigers.
Despite their lacklustre form, Longmire said he wasn't taking four points for granted against the 15th-placed side.
"Things can change pretty quickly in AFL football... their best footy is a pretty good brand of footy," he said.

Trent Reznor adds Robin Finck to Nine Inch Nails lineup
Listen to Nine Inch Nails on iHeartRadio
The latest incarnation of Trent Reznor's Nine Inch Nails is back to a six-man lineup. The group was briefly down to five members last week after bassist Eric Avery stepped away, but on Friday Reznor announced that longtime Nine Inch Nails associate Robin Finck has returned.
The guitarist has worked with the band periodically since 1994, last joining them onstage for their 2009 tour. Reznor says adding Finck makes Nine Inch Nails "incredibly powerful and versatile." He says they're "deep in the rehearsal process" for their upcoming outing, which starts July 26th at the Fuji Rock Festival in Japan.

Problem Description: I set Access Connections so that the system tray icon would show and the toolbar would not when I first installed the program months ago. It had worked fine until a few weeks ago when I invoked TVSU and installed an update for Access Connections. Since then when I attempt to invoke the main Access Connections dialog by left-clicking on the system tray icon and selecting Launch Access Connections, an install dialog appears, runs through the install process, then asks to restart. The symptom also appears if I enable the Access Connections Toolbar by right-clicking on the Windows taskbar, pointing to Toolbars, and selecting Access Connections. This symptom is persistent even after reboot.
Attempts to correct:
1) Attempted reinstall from installer found on the web. No change.
2) Uninstalled and reinstalled. Upon first reboot, the same install dialog, that's in the Problem Description, appears and the system is restarted automatically. This presumably happens because, by default, the Access Connections Toolbar is added to the Windows taskbar on install.
yes, I have seen such situaiton in the past.
Here is what you could test:
- uninstall Access Connection using Add/Remove programs
- go to registry and make sure, that there is no such registry key as: HKLM\Software\Lenovo\Access Connection
In case there is such key, please delete the whole "Access Conneciton" string
- go to %Program Files%\ThinkPad\ and make sure, that there is no "ConnectUtilities". If yes, then completely delete it.
- go to %ProgramFiles%\InstallShield Installation Information\ and open one after another all the folders, that you can see here and make sure, that none of then belongs to Access Connection. If there is such, delete the whole folder
NOTE: you can detect, that that particular installation package belongs to Access Connection by opening the "Setup.ini" and there is the description of the product
Please make the steps, that I described above in the exact order, as I wrote it. Don't start with the last or change th order, as this will screw up the AC installation/uninstall.
this ususally happens, when there is still one, or more .dll files, that could not be registered propperly, or the WIndows installer was confused , or has a problem.
Let me know your results.
What if I wish to preserve the profiles?
Can I still back them up? and how do I restore the profiles after reinstallation?
in this case if you want to save your profiles, then BEFORE you perform the steps, that I described in previous update, do following:
- go to registry and save/Export following registry key with all the subkeys
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Lenovo\Access Connections\Locations
Everything, that you can see under the above mentioned key are your profiles. So save them and once Access Connection will work agaain, just import this keys back.
Let me know, how it will work fo you.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Lenovo\Access Connections doesn't seem to exist, but HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Lenovo\Access Connections does. There isn't a folder/key with the name Locations though.
I apologize. I forgot to mention this and it may or may not make a difference, but I'm running the x64 version of the Win7RC.
02-02-2010 03:06 PM - edited 02-02-2010 03:06 PM
If you are using x64 Os, then my locaiton iwll not be there , as you have noticed
do it then follwing way:
Start registry and pres CTRL+F and type there the full name of one of your location profiles.
This should find the corect reg path.
Sorry I don't have any Win7 next to me, where I could test.
It didn't work. I still have the same symptoms after the reinstall.
These were the steps taken:
ok so in this situation it looks, like this is not a pure AC issue. There might be something wrong with the installer, or it might be also just an issue of AV where it blockt the registration of some components.
Have you tried to install also some other application? Just to test, if that one will not make any issues?
Try to start debugview and try to reproduce the situation. You might find there something usefull, or paste the part with AC to this forum. I would like to see it.
And is there any output in Event log about this situaiton?

The dollar traded near a five-year high against the yen on Thursday, a day after the Federal Reserve announced its long-awaited first cut in its bond-buying program.
Following the Federal Reserve's decision to taper its bond buys, the dollar rose against the euro before reversing, with the euro now higher.
The dollar drifted higher on Tuesday, trading in narrow ranges, as investors continued to adjust positions ahead of this week's key decision on bond-buying by the Fed.
The euro edged higher against the dollar on Monday after two days of losses, lifted by euro zone data showing business activity picked up, while uncertainty over the Federal Reserve's economic stimulus program kept investors wary of the greenback.
The dollar dropped from five-year highs against the yen Friday as investors reduced bets on the greenback amid caution ahead of a U.S. Federal Reserve policy meeting next week that may herald a wind-down of its massive stimulus measures.
The dollar firmed across the board on Thursday, helped by an upbeat U.S retail sales report that suggested the recovery of the world's largest economy is on a stable footing.
The euro rose for a seventh straight session against the dollar on Wednesday, driven by a combination of higher money market rates and a growing belief that the European Central Bank will keep interest rates low for some time but not cut them.
The euro stayed well-bid on Tuesday, scaling a fresh five-year high on the yen and a six-week peak against the dollar as expectations for further stimulus from the European Central Bank continued to fade.
Commodities trader Dennis Gartman shares his top trades to close out the year.
The euro raced to a near six-week high against the dollar and scaled a fresh five-year peak versus the yen on Monday after strong U.S. payrolls data boosted risk appetite.
The dollar rallied against the yen after stronger-than-expected jobs data stoked expectations the Fed may start reducing bond buying sooner than expected.
Michael Sneyd, FX analyst at BNP Paribas, says the dollar is strong against "risky currencies" such as the aussie and Canadian dollar.
The euro rose to a five-week high against the dollar on Thursday after the European Central Bank left a key interest rate unchanged and its president Mario Draghi downplayed deflation risks.
The dollar rose against the yen and the euro on Wednesday.
The yen rose against the dollar and the euro on Tuesday, rebounding from losses as falling stock markets worldwide prompted safe-haven demand for the Japanese currency.
The dollar climbed to a more than six-month high against the yen on Monday on speculation the Bank of Japan may expand its already massive economic stimulus.
The euro traded near a five-year peak against the yen and a one-month high against the dollar.
The yen clawed back lost ground against the euro and dollar in Asia on Thursday after touching fresh lows against both, on track for one of its worst monthly performance this year.
The euro rose near a one-month high against the dollar and a four-year high against the yen.
The dollar dropped broadly on Tuesday, as lower U.S. Treasury debt yields drove investors to trim bullish bets.

When is My Power Coming Back On??
Another Storm and Another Round of Outtages
But now CPS Energy lets customers know
how long they'll sit in the dark
2600 homes lost power Wednesday night
as a storm swept through San Antonio.
And the only thing that people wanted to know
was: when are the lights coming back on?
CPS Energy's John Moreno says customers
can now sign up for a new alert information
"So the system would notify you automatically
via one of those contacts points that
you have on your account now that your
address has no service at this time,"
says Moreno.
He says the system will also approximate
how long power will be out so that you
can make other plans.
"We'll tell you what caused and we'll
also tell you as close as we can
what is the restoration time."
Moreno says when power goes out, a troubleshooter
is sent to the site to fx it. If he can't a
crew is also sent.
"The troubleshooter arrives on the scene
and does a quick survey and fixes it
and if he can't do it on his own,
he'll for the appropriate resources."

C. George Deukmejian, 27th Attorney General
In 1980, he launched a pilot program to test the capabilities of latent print cold search technology (Automated Latent Print System "ALPS") - a computerized system used to identify criminal suspects by comparing fingerprints. He also successfully argued cases before the California Supreme Court to uphold the "use-a-gun go to prison" and death penalty laws. Following his tenure as Attorney General, he was elected Governor.

Topic: The green gas cloud
I am sitting in a hotel lobby when the infamous cc gas kicked in. I swear I am surrounded by a green fog. It is too funny since I am in the lobby at the only computer and a conference group just got out and had to walk by. You should have seen their faces because it is so obvious it is me.
Hotel $50
Pizza dinner $10
Look on hotel guests face as they walk through cc fart cloud: priceless
Sometimes you just need to find the humor or you would have to crawl into the hole.

According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, race is the most common motivating factor in hate crime offending reported
to the police (61 percent), followed by religion (14 percent), sexual orientation (13 percent), ethnicity (11 percent), and
victim disability (1 percent). In racially motivated offenses, 60 percent targeted blacks and 30 percent targeted whites.
One study classified hate crime offenders into four categories that differ with respect to the psychological and situational
factors that lead to hate crime offending. [2] This typology is widely used by law enforcement for training officers in the investigation and identification of hate crime.
Thrill-seeking. Motivated by the desire for excitement.
Defensive. Commit hate crimes to protect their neighborhood from perceived outsiders.
Retaliatory. Acting in response to a hate crime — either real or perceived.
Mission. So strongly committed to bigotry that they make hate a career.

The panga ride to Little Corn was smooth sailing over pristine blue-green water. We couldn't believe the tiny spot of paradise as we jumped off the boat onto the white sand. No cars, motorbikes, engines, only sounds of water lapping onto the shore and chattering voices of the Caribbean. We followed Jefferson, the Alaskan fisherman/hunter who spends a couple months of the year as a fishing guide on Little Corn, down the sandy path through palms and jungle to the other side of the island. A twenty minute walk later we found ourselves at Carlito's, Sunrise Paradise. We immediately fell in love. Our green palm-roofed bungalow looked directly onto the turquoise sea, and the constant breeze made for delightful weather.
The staff at Carlito's became quick friends. Brenda, with her adorably naughty one-and-a-half-year-old, Julisa. Tamara, the darling, silly Little Corn teen.
Erwin the maintenance boy who wore a constant smile. Pablito, the wonderful flamboyant chef who loved having heart-to-hearts with me and Brendan, his new confidants and Carlito, the man himself, the king of Little Corn!
The Group became like family and a month later we were still spending our days relaxing in hammocks, snorkeling, swimming, playing dominoes, being true beach bums. Carlito's bungalow operation was beginning to look like a commune. Our one neighbor, Leo, had been there for a year-and-a-half selling handmade jewelery from coconuts. Gregor, a real Scott, who honestly missed Haggis, stayed at least six weeks. And then there was the Swedish invasion.
The island was hopping with an astounding number of Swedes, a country that must be full of kind, fun loving, easy going people. Sophie, Ana, Ana and Jonas were friends from the start. They too were struggling to move on. In fact Ana and Jonas got all the way to the airport at Big Corn, sent luggage through security (which wasn't much) and right before the plane took on passengers realized they couldn't possibly leave! They rushed to the front counter to retrieve their luggage explaining to the clerk that they had forgotten something very important on Little Corn and surprised us all with their completely irrational return.
The inexorable peace and beauty, friendly locals and dear friends this incredible island supported made it nearly impossible to leave. We're not sure we'll ever find another place quite like it.

Excellent for indoor and outdoor wear

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

The Best!
By YolyO
from Princeton, NJ
I've been buying these slippers for my husband for years. He's very hard on them, so I get him a new pair every year. He has problems with planter fasciitis and these are the only ones that he loves. Comfy doesn't begin to describe them!

Not what I expected
By CB
from VA
With a name like "walk on air" I thought these slippers would work for my husband who has foot issues. The slippers are hard/stiff and are not soft/cushy like I would expect from the name. I will be returning them.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Sorry, not this time.
By Ngtrunner
from Lithia Springs, GA
I purchased this product because I needed a good comfortable house shoe. This isn't it. The shoe runs a full size small. I returned it for a larger size and was sent the exact same size I returned. I finally got the correct size so I could actually wear the shoe. It is extremely stiff. So much so that you can't just slide your feet into them and go. Disappointed. You guys usually sell great stuff but Sorry, not this time.

Brad Paisley, Carrie Underwood deny copyright infringement allegations
Listen to Brad Paisley on iHeartRadio | Listen to Carrie Underwood on iHeartRadio
Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood are standing up against accusations that they stole their 2011 hit "Remind Me."
RadarOnline.com says lawyers for the country stars have filed documents denying "any wrongful conduct, omissions, infringement or any other activities alleged" by songwriter Amy Bowen.
Bowen, who's also known as Lizza Connor, filed a copyright infringement suit over the song last May claiming "Remind Me" has the same melody and unique phrases that are in a song she wrote and copyrighted six years ago. She says she performed her song in public several times in 2008, including a songwriting workshop with Nashville songwriters Chris DuBois and Kelley Lovelace. DuBois and Lovelace share songwriting credits with Paisley on "Remind Me."
Bowen is seeking damages of more than ten-million dollars. Paisley and Underwood's suit is asking a judge to dismiss the case.
Meanwhile, DuBois has filed his own countersuit against Bowen, accusing her of breach of contract. He claims that before entering the songwriting workshop she signed a consent form that prohibits participants from filing copyright infringement suits pertaining to any songs they brought in with them.

The third leading cause of death in the United State is stroke and heart disease, and statistics are showing us that this rate is increasing with obesity affecting a large percentage of the population in this country. Cardiovascular or heart disease involves a complex interaction between a number of factors including diet, genetics, blood pressure, exercise, cholesterol levels and mental health. As plaque is formed on the inside of the arteries, it creates a narrowing. As a result of the narrowing of the arteries, blood flow is impeded and other problems such as inflammation and creation of blood clots can occur. If the blood clot breaks loose and is transported to the the brain or heart, a stroke or heart attack may result.
There is established protocol developed by the medical community to deal with these issues. However, nature has given us a natural substance that is a fibrinolytic enzyme that destroys clots and prevents the formation of clots. The Nattokinase benefits is that it acts as a natural clot buster thus preventing heart attacks and strokes.
The history of Nattokinase is very interesting. Japanese tradition holds that natto was first produced during the Jomon period or in 1083 when a famous samurai, Yoshiie Minamoto was fighting in a battle campaign in northern Japan with his army. While boiling soybeans for the horses to eat, they were attacked by the enemy. He quickly gathered and packed the beans, but was unable to open the straw baskets until a few days later after the battle. As a result the beans fermented, but the hungry men ate them anyway and enjoyed the new taste. It was noticed by the samurai warriors that this food increased their strength and endurance. As a result, they also fed it to their horses.
In Japan for over one thousand years, natto, a fermented food, has been a folk remedy for heart and cardio-vascular disease. It is well established fact that the Japanese people have the lowest rate of heart disease in the world, and attribute this to their diet.
The natto is produced by boiling soybeans and adding Bacillus natto, thus producing the nattokinase enzyme. A researcher, Dr. Hiroyuki Sumi employed at the Chicago University Medical School in 1980, was looking for a a natural product to dissolve blood clots.
Over 173 natural foods were tested by Dr. Sumi in the research center. But while eating lunch one day, he placed a small portion of natto onto artificial thrombus. The result was outstanding. After eighteen hours, the thrombus was completely dissolved. He found that the sticky part or threads exhibited a blood clot dissolving activity. He named his new discovery Nattokinase, and believed in the significance of his research for healthy cardiac activity. We can only wonder if Dr. Sumi was familiar with the Japanese folklore pertaining to natto.
This ancient medicinal food is a challenge to the pharmaceutical best medicines for blood-clot removal. In recent years, Nattokinase has attracted popularity throughout the world. Many believe that Japan has a high longevity rate due to the high consumption of natto by the populace. If you have a cardiac condition, check with your health care provider to determine if nattokinase would be beneficial for your condition.

FoxNewsLatino.com -- the next Fox Nation?
Blog ››› ››› KARL FRISCH
Back in March of last year, while promoting its newly launched website TheFoxNation.com, Fox News ran advertisements telling viewers that it was "time to say 'no' to biased media and 'yes' to fair play and free speech."
In the year plus since the website's launch it has proven each and every day that it has no intention of "fair play" and has, if anything, emulated the very essence of "biased media."
Now, according to a Reuters report, Fox News is preparing to launch a new website targeting the Latino audience, FoxNewsLatino.com.
Interestingly, the public relations surrounding the conservative network's latest online endeavor seems eerily similar to the spin offered surrounding the launch of TheFoxNation.com. Check out these comments from Michael Clemente, Fox News' senior vice president of news editorial:
Clemente said he sees little risk that a Latino audience would avoid a website backed by Fox News because of the cable TV network's conservative pundits, whose views on issues like immigration can be at odds with the Latino community.
"I don't think there'll be conflict," he said. "We will do what we always do on the news side which is to be very fair and balanced on all sides of the issue in our reporting."
Notice that Clemente said FoxNewsLatino.com will be "fair and balanced." That's very similar to the language Fox News senior vice president Joel Cheatwood used in advance of launching TheFoxNation.com:
"I don't think this is going to be limited to die-hard Fox News fans," Cheatwood says. When registration begins in two months, users will be asked to abide by "core principles of tolerance, open debate, civil discourse and fair and balanced coverage of the news," with insulting comments deleted.
So, I'm guessing it is only a matter of time until FoxNewsLatino.com serves as a platform for the immigrant bashing personalities that so regularly pepper the network's airwaves? Or perhaps they've hired Bill O'Reilly's buddy Lou Dobbs as the website's first editor?
At this point I wouldn't put anything past them.

About McLaren Vale
McLaren Vale is home to the oldest Australian vineyard, with grapes planted in 1838. It's a coastal area with the Indian Ocean bordering the west, which contributes a cooling factor that prevents the grapes from getting too hot. In all, the climate is a perfect one for the vines.
Notable FactsIn McLaren Vale, there are vines as far as the eye can see. As in other parts of Australia, Shiraz and Grenache are the most-planted grapes of the region. While red rules, whites are able to hold their own here too. With the warm yet reasonable Mediterranean climate, white grapes like Chardonnay, Semillon and even some Sauvignon Blanc grow well. The wines are round and smooth and the producers in the region are excellent.
About Australia
Like the United States, which is about the same size, Australia's winemaking regions are huddled into one or two pockets of the country. The state of South Australia, which produces about 60% of the country's wine, also has the most wineries and sub-regions, including McLaren Vale, Clare Valley, Coonawarra and Barossa Valley. New South Wales is home to the Hunter Valley, while the smaller, southern state of Victoria is best known for theYarra Valley. Head way west to the very large state of Western Australia and you'll find the tiny region of Margaret River at the southern tip.

Yeah, that pretty much is just looking at A listers right there isn't it? I do wonder sometimes if we are looking at people who will be A listers in a decade or if they will turn out to be someone like Brandon Davis. They only pop up when the lights turn on at the end of the party and then scurry for darkness as quickly as they can. What about the Smith kids? They have both tried acting and singing, but will they ever do anything a decade from now that we will remember artistically or will they just pop up into our lives when they are bored and flush with cash and try and make a splash. You know that some of these tweeners will be around a decade or two from now, but it would be more interesting to see what happens to these tweeners who don't make it. They will probably be the ones who will have the more interesting tabloid headlines. The official line for the breakup is their busy schedules. Ahh, they learn young how to spin.

I do this so as not to waste too much time just playing on the internet. I can just get lost in the many interesting places on the internet if I do not time myself. When the timer goes off, the roaming stops. I use the internet for book research, so turning it off is not an option, nor is eliminating the visual as the visual makes all the difference in my research, but that does not give me license to just wander around doing nothing of any import for hours on end.
So I use a timer. It works for me. Maybe it will work for you too.

This is WONDERFUL! A small step for our whole Family! I would say its a home run!
Thanks for sharing such a wonderful story! Tracey is a wonderful role model for the fight against this dreaded disease.
Wow - that is awesome! You are an amazing person, Tracey! It's wonderful how so many people here have found ways to raise awareness of this cancer - makes me feel humble - and very proud to be part of this group.
The only "sport" my mom and I played was Scrabble - so maybe I should start a Scrabble tournament to benefit cc?
Joyce M
Absolutely, Joyce. That is a great idea. Nice to hear from you. You are always missed on this board.
I often think about how this wonderful foundation was started out of such tragic circumstances. I am amazed that Stacy's family had the foresight to put this together to help others suffering. It has made such a difference. And here is this wonderful woman, doing her best to honor her lost loved ones by raising money going in part to this foundation. The gifts of these people to the rest of the cc community are mindblowing. Just think about how far the foundation has come since it was first formed. It is gifts and hard work exemplified by Tracey that helps allow cc to have a more visable profile and have a presence at conferences that help spread the word and possibilities of research.
From a seed a tree grows.
I wish I had known about this tournament sooner. I live only an hour from wilkes-barre, pa. Hopefully next year.

Are Cleveland's minorities getting a fair shot?
(Cleveland) - With new development projects popping up all over downtown Cleveland, one local activist is troubled by what he feels is the low number of minorities being employed on construction sites.
Norm Edwards of the Black Contractors Group & the American Center for Economic Equality charges that minorities account for just 2% of the construction workforce in the city.
He tells Newsradio WTAM 1100 that minorities are routinely screened out when applying for construction jobs at union halls.
Edwards says site managers often claim a large number of minorities fail to qualify for such positions, but he contends that's not true.
Edwards believes one of the reasons why Cleveland's unemployment rate remains high is because construction workers from outside the city are getting most of the jobs.
Edwards blames Cleveland Mayor Frank Jackson for not doing more to create opportunities for minority construction workers as downtown continues to experience a major building boom.

Back in the day, they were called senior projects.
More recently, high school seniors in the Everett School District were required to complete a "culminating exhibition" to graduate.
Students picked a topic, did some research and made a presentation, judged by a teacher and a panel of community volunteers.
This year, that's changed. Students still do research. But some of the topics they explore are how to apply for scholarships, what jobs they'd like to be hired for, and which technical school, community college or university they'd like to enroll in.
The goal now is for students to select a project that will better prepare them for what happens after graduation and to think about educational, career and financial goals from one to five years after leaving high school.
There are mock job interviews and tips on how to make a good impression.
Students still do a presentation, but they video tape it, edit it, and then post it online so that it can be reviewed, not only by their teacher but fellow classmates.
Instead of being asked to write a journal about their topic, they create a blog.
"It is more directly tied to their future than just taking on a project," said Jennifer Chambers, who is teaching what in high school shorthand is called the CE course at Everett High School.
In the past, the purpose of the project was to see what it's like to set goals, come up with a plan, and meet those goals, she said. "It was a great process, but the project didn't focus on anything that had to be tied to their future."
When school board members visited schools, students often told them, "We need to change this," said board member Carol Andrews.
Students are now asked to produce resumes and practice filling out job applications. They are coached and get comments from their teachers throughout the semester, not just at the end of the course, said Jo Anne Buiteweb, a curriculum specialist.
Students learn how to present themselves in the best professional manner, she said."It's more useful than a great big project that takes up a lot of time."
Everett High School senior Delaney Goetz said that with her interest in joining a college or university rowing team as a coxswain, she had begun to plan for what happens after high school even before she took the CE course.
But she said the course has helped further those plans. On her blog, she's included links to a web page by Mary Whipple, an Olympic gold medalist coxswain, as well as information from a number of other rowing sources.
"When I started the class … I had already done my college research," she said. "The one thing it did help was in filling out scholarship applications." The class only required students to fill out one application," she said. "Several of us have been trying to do it once a week."
She said also learned some new digital skills. "I've had to do presentations many times in school, but not video tape it, edit it and post it online," she said.
Goetz said she thinks her classmates have found the course helpful, too. "When you come home from school and do homework, you don't have two hours to fill out a college application," she said. "It's nice to get that done in class and be able to ask your teacher questions."
Debbie Long, a real estate agent who lives in Mill Creek, said that difference between what students are doing now and what her son and daughter previously were asked to do in their Jackson High School CE classes can be summed up in two words: "Night and day," she said.
In the past, a student could ask to do their project on how to bake a loaf of bread and get it approved, she said. "That had no application for a child's life or what they would be doing their whole life," she said.
Long was one of the business professionals who recently volunteered to conduct mock job interviews at Everett High School.
The old way didn't include interview and business skills, she said. "It was just ridiculous. This is more applicable for students.
"I feel the changes are huge," she said. "I'm just thrilled with it moving forward."

My 11-month old little boy showing an attitude
Hi All, I have an 11-month old son who used to be a happy bub until recently when he started 'showing some attitude.' Every time adults greet him or touches him, he would hit them in the face with his little fist or slap them or scratch them. I usually tell the people that it's because he just woke up or he's sleepy, but I have noticed that he does it almost all the time now. I am going paranoid that maybe my husband and I are spoiling him? Is this a phase that would pass or is there a way to make an 11-month old understand that what he's doing is not good? I just say no, and he'd stop for a while but then he'd start slapping me in the face as well.

Hi Xamismum,
My guess is that your son has realized that he gets a reaction from you and/or the person he's hitting when he does this and he will likely continue to do it unless he realizes that it hurts and he should NOT do it.
We have another thread that addresses this challenge and offers suggestions on how to stop the behavior. You can find it here.
Please post back and let us know if the information is helpful, and if not, we will try to offer more suggestions. But you definitely need to stop the behavior rather than letting it continue.
Warm regards,

Thanks Kate! I've read the suggestions on the other thread and your advice there is actually what I have been doing with my son. When I pretend to be crying, he would put his face on my face or my shoulder and I would see that he is remorseful but when a new person comes and he is not in the mood, he'd do the hitting again. He seems to forget really quick.
30th July 2012 11:29 PM #4
I'm glad one of the suggestions worked for you. I would persevere with this.
Try and keep calm when he gives a little hit and explain that it hurts and he cannot do this. As his comprehension of language gets better with time this will work more and more effectively. It's also important to be consistent with little ones (e.g. act the same way whenever he does this). Lots of toddlers do go through this stage and I am sure it will pass for you and your son too.
Best wishes,
30th July 2012 11:36 PM #5
I've just read in another post that your son is around different languages at home. I have worked for a number of years as an Audiologist (hearing and balance clinician) and during this time some of the children I saw in the clinic showed some behaviour issues. In some, though certainly not all, cases this was because the child had first lived in one country and then moved to another with a different language and so was confused and frustrated about what was expected of them. Some of the children who heard two languages at home would take longer to settle down in the clinic although, with time, both their behaviour and language skills became consistent. I am just wondering if, in your son's case, he is experiencing confusion/frustration/inconsistencies and this is why he is behaving like he is. Of course, this may just be a coincidence. As I say, many children develop well in bilingual settings but sometimes it takes some settling into.
Best wishes,

Preparing For Mines
Is your son or daughter a creative thinker who enjoys math and science? A person who likes to solve everyday problems? Likes to design and build things? Cares about the environment? Wants to find answers to our country's energy challenges? Or maybe wants to be a doctor, lawyer or teacher? Engineers and scientists are in demand, and Mines is a prestigious university with a reputation for excellence around the world.
Mines students are bright, focused and hard-working. They are motivated by challenges and like to use innovation and creativity to address those challenges. If this sounds like your student, encourage preparation for a Mines education. It's a great path to a successful career and rewarding life.
High School Requirements
What's involved in preparing for a Mines education? Challenging courses in math and science, in particular trigonometry, pre-calculus and chemistry — and if possible, calculus and physics as well.
While math and science are key classes for admission to Mines, courses in English and the liberal arts are just as important. We look for students with communication skills and a strong overall academic record.
Standardized tests also help us during the admissions process. Encourage your son or daughter to take the ACT or SAT twice—once as a junior and once in the fall semester of senior year. We anticipate seeing a senior level test score with the application.
Extracurricular Activities
Students won't be penalized if they are not involved in extracurricular activities, but if they have outside-the-classroom interests, awards or honors, we want to see these on the application. Mines students work hard, but they also make time for social activities and community service. And it's the quality, not the quantity that counts with us.
For more information on the admissions process, high school courses such as AP/IB, and the admissions timeline, review our Checklist and Admissions pages.
