CSC 2140.1, Extended
April 11, 2005; Extended on March 18, 2015
SUBJECT: Management of GSA's Total Web Presence
1. Purpose. The purpose of this order is to:
a. Provide direction and guidance for all GSA Services, Staff Offices, and Regions concerning the presentation of content for and management of GSA's total web presence.
b. Formalize policies, management and organizational structures, guidelines, and procedures necessary to ensure that GSA's total web presence:
(1) Employs consistent best practices;
(2) Is managed and maintained primarily to meet the needs of site visitors;
(3) Provides up-to-date information in the clearest and most direct way possible;
(4) Is a comprehensive vehicle for disseminating GSA public information;
(5) Facilitates GSA online transactions;
(6) Encourages consolidation of web resources and servers;
(7) Adheres to OMB Policies for Federal Agency Public Websites that are applicable to GSA's web presence and complies with other federal web requirements, such as Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act;
(8) Supports and maximizes the capabilities of technology upgrades implemented by OCIO;
(9) Provides content that reflects ongoing additions, deletions, or changes in GSA programs;
(10) Presents content that reflects the agency vision of "One GSA" and is organized around user needs;
(11) Reflects continual improvements in user performance and satisfaction as measured by standard web metrics tools.
Guidelines for GSA Web Sites (attached) is the foundation for decisions relating to GSA's web presence. The Guidelines will continue to be revised over time to accommodate changes in GSA organizations and programs; respond to issues identified in usability testing, surveys, and market research; incorporate new developments in technology and web best practices; and reflect new or revised OMB federal public website policy.
2. Background.
a. In 1999, an independent audit of the GSA websites, commissioned by the Office of the Chief Information Officer (OCIO), recommended redesigning GSA's web presence to be customer-focused and easier to use, eliminating out-of-date and duplicative content, and consolidating a multitude of web servers scattered throughout the agency into a single portal. In June 2000, the Office of the CIO and the Office of Communications began an effort to implement the independent audit recommendations.
b. In 2001, the GSA Administrator asked the Office of Citizen Services and Communications (OCSC) to assess the content, functionality, and management of gsa.gov. This assessment led to the complete restructuring of gsa.gov and the launch of a redesigned site on September 30, 2003. The redesign included migration of eligible off-portal sites wherever feasible. The redesign was accomplished with significant content input from GSA Services, Staff Offices, and Regions and technical input from OCIO. Primary responsibility for management and maintenance of gsa.gov content was assigned to OCSC. OCSC collaborates with and receives technology support from OCIO for the GSA portal.
c. In March 2004, the Office of Inspector General (OIG) issued a Report on the Audit of the GSA.gov Web Portal. It contained two recommendations:
(1) "Develop and implement a GSA Web Presence Policy and supporting governance structure consistent with changes in GSA organizational responsibilities to provide direction and guidance for all GSA Service, Staff, and Regional Offices, incorporating requirements for all GSA web pages to employ consistent best practices."
(2) "Ensure that the new GSA.gov search capabilities are presenting comprehensive and current results that effectively promote GSA's products and services."
d. This GSA order and attachment address the first recommendation. Work to implement the second recommendation had begun before the IG Audit Report was released in March 2004 and was completed in July 2004.
3. Applicability. This order applies to all Services, Staff Offices, Regions, and authorized contractors.
4. Cancellation. CIO 2140.1 is cancelled.
5. Federal Laws and Regulations. This order complies with the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Memorandum 05-04 Subject: Policies for Federal Agency Public Websites (attached). It also meets requirements in OMB Circular A-130, OMB "Guidelines for Ensuring and Maximizing the Quality, Objectivity, Utility, and Integrity of Information Disseminated by Federal Agencies" (67 FR 5365); Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act (29 U.S.C.794d);
Executive Order 13166 "Improving Access to Services for People with Limited English Proficiency"; and other information policy issuances.

GSA's "total web presence" encompasses the gsa.gov portal; its intranet (InSite); GSA non-transactional, external, off-portal Service/Staff Office/Regional sites; and legitimate GSA transactional, off-portal, external sites that cannot be accommodated technologically on the portal at this time. Most of the guidance contained here has already been incorporated in the redesigned gsa.gov. Work on the other components of GSA's total web presence is ongoing, and this guidance should be applied as these other sites are redesigned. For simplicity, all the off-portal sites are collectively referenced throughout this document as "other sites."
1. Vision and scope of GSA's Total Web Presence.
a. The Internet provides GSA with an extraordinary tool for communicating a vast array of information to large and diverse audiences. Significant improvements have been implemented over several years. Independent audits of GSA's websites have recommended a cohesive and integrated web presence and suggested an ongoing commitment to improving GSA's web presence, including these objectives:
(1) Focus on the customers rather than on GSA's internal organizations.
(2) Provide a consistent look and feel that supports the GSA corporate brand.
Provide a consistent navigation system so that visitors know where they are and can retrace their steps if necessary.
(3) Allow for customization and personalization.
(4) Comply with Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act and other federal public website requirements.
(5) Consolidate web servers to ensure server security.
(6) Eliminate duplicative contracts for Web development, design, servers and server management.
b. These objectives were adopted by GSA's leadership and comprise the vision that drove earlier gsa.gov projects. The 2004 GSA IG audit report confirms their validity and relevance to GSA's agency-wide web presence. An additional objective has been added to reflect current best practices:
Use performance measures to monitor success and make continuous improvements
2. Purpose of these guidelines.
a. Just as news releases and executive correspondence have clearance processes, information posted to GSA's public websites must also have a clearance process. This document provides guidelines for GSA to follow when creating new web content or reviewing existing content and creates a framework for the clearance process for content on all public GSA websites.
b. These guidelines are designed to help ensure that the GSA web presence maintains a consistent, easily recognized corporate look and feel, that information on the site is easy to use and understand, and that GSA websites will be among the best government websites and follow practices common to the best-in-class federal websites.
3. Guidance.
a. All GSA Services, Staff Offices, and Regions will comply with this order and the attachment, Guidelines for GSA Websites, with Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Memorandum 05-04 dated December 17, 2004. Subject: Policies for Federal Agency Public Websites (www.whitehouse.gov/omb/memoranda/fy2005/m05-04.pdf)
and other guidance as developed and approved by The Board.
b. All guidance relating to GSA's web presence is provided at http://insite.gsa.gov/portal and is regularly updated. The OMB Policies for Public Websites can be found at www.whitehouse.gov/omb/memoranda/fy2005/m05-04.pdf,
with implementation guidance available at www.webcontent.gov.
4. Roles. The roles are assigned to the organizations and positions identified to ensure effective implementation and management of GSA's Web presence and policy.
a. GSA Web Presence Board of Directors. The GSA Web Presence Board of Directors
(The Board) is an executive-level group that establishes the vision and provides overall guidance and support for GSA's external web presence. The Board is led by the Associate Administrator for Citizen Services and Communications. It includes the following members:
(1) Associate Administrator, Office of Citizen Services and Communications (OCSC)
(2) Chief Information Officer (CIO)
(3) Marketing Council Representative, Federal Supply Service/Federal Technology Service
(4) Marketing Council Representative, Public Buildings Service
(5) Marketing Council Representative for Regional Administrators
(6) Representative, Office of Governmentwide Policy
(7) Representative, Office of Chief People Officer
(8) Representative, Office of Chief Financial Officer
(9) Director, OCSC Editorial Services
b. GSA Web Presence Governing Council. The GSA Web Presence Governing Council (GC) is comprised of the primary portal representatives for OCSC/Editorial Services, CIO, the Services, OGP, and Regions. (The representatives of GSA Services and Regions have the title of "Executive Editor." The representatives of GSA Staff Offices have the title of "Staff Office Editors.") The Governing Council ensures that the enterprise-wide vision of GSA senior management, as conveyed by The Board, is adequately presented on GSA's public websites. As the staff-level governing body for GSA's web presence, the GC deliberates on a continuing basis to address web issues, resolve problems, and make decisions on all major aspects of GSA's web presence. OCSC/Editorial Services provides primary leadership for the GC. While most GC web decisions are made collaboratively, the OCSC Associate Administrator and the OCSC/Editorial Services Division have the ultimate responsibility and authority for overall management and presentation of GSA web content and issues relating to it. Technology issues are addressed in close collaboration with the CIO representatives. Other members may be added as future needs dictate.
c. GSA Web Technology Team. The Web Technology Team provides Inter/Intranet infrastructure to the agency, recommends technology standards, policies, procedures, and guidelines and implements The Board's and GC decisions. The Web Technology Team is responsible for the day-to-day operations of the system of servers that make up a major portion of GSA's web presence. The Web Technology Team is also responsible for maintaining the sites' security, reliability, compliance with Section 508, and other relevant guidelines. The Web Technology Team is made up representatives from the Office of the CIO and OCSC/Editorial Services and other representatives from throughout GSA as needed. The Web Technology Team works closely with other members of the Governing Council.
d. GSA Web Presence Content Developers.
(1) The members of this group are the primary providers of content for all GSA websites. They are the Content Owners—the program experts in the Services, Staff Offices, and Regions who prepare content and convey how they would like it presented on the web. Also in this group are the Content Creators who provide the hands-on expertise to prepare this content for publication on the web. Both Content Owners and Content Creators are represented by an Executive Editor on the Governing Council who conveys web policies and guidance to them. The Executive Editors are also the only ones in the Service, Staff Office, and Regional review process who can submit content to OCSC/Editorial Services for publication on gsa.gov. Executive Editors are required to ensure the accuracy and timeliness of the content they forward to Editorial Services.
(2) More details on the gsa.gov roles and responsibilities of the Executive Editors, Content Owners, Content Creators, Content Reviewers (where applicable), and OCSC/Editorial Services Publishers are provided on http://insite.gsa.gov/portal.
(3) InSite and the off-portal websites may need to specify and designate similar roles and responsibilities.
5. Responsibilities.
a. GSA's primary external web presence is the portal, gsa.gov. It is a comprehensive, agency-wide communications and marketing tool for GSA as an enterprise. It also provides a means for GSA's components to conduct business through Internet-based programs and help GSA achieve its mission. All GSA-approved websites are available to visitors and are linked through the gsa.gov portal whenever appropriate.
b. Using these guidelines, each GSA Service, Staff Office, and Region shall be accountable for its own online content on gsa.gov and on any other approved GSA website. Any entity that creates or "publishes" information for GSA websites takes primary responsibility for its content, organization, accuracy, and adherence to GSA's corporate branding standards and practices.
c. Services, through their Executive Editors should stay informed of web content provided by other Services, especially when they are related through the taxonomy or can reasonably be expected to be read by the same site visitors. These connections can be accomplished on gsa.gov through the use of "cross references." Services that provide competing or similar offerings must be clear in their descriptions about why the visitor would choose one or the other. Services must take care to use different names and descriptions for different programs and services. Customers should not have to figure out which of two similarly named programs has the service or product meeting their needs.
d. GSA OCSC/Editorial Services will work with Staff Offices to develop and publish their web content and assist them in identifying topics appropriate for cross-reference on gsa.gov.
e. There should be no redundant content on gsa.gov.
(1) Duplication arises most frequently with regard to Service and Regional content. In general, the national office takes precedence in presenting comprehensive information about a particular program. Regions should, for the most part, provide information on a program only as it relates specifically to their Region.
(2) Occasionally, there may be limited overlap if a Region requires introductory language to put their program in its proper context or has a compelling reason to replicate the information. Cross-references can be a valuable tool for directing Regional site visitors to the more comprehensive material available on the national program's web pages.
(3) The primary approach for resolving redundant content issues will be communication, collaboration, and negotiation between the Service and Regional Executive Editors. The Executive Editors shall make a good faith effort to be accommodating and reach a compromise acceptable to both. If that is not possible, Editorial Services will make a decision based on web best practices and in the best interest of the overall gsa.gov presentation.
(4) The Web Presence Board of Directors shall be the final arbiter in situations where no other resolution is possible. This step should be taken only as a last result.
6. Content. All web content must relate directly to the mission and activities of GSA.
a. Publishing criteria. When creating new content or reviewing existing content for continued presentation on a GSA website, the Content Owner/Creator responsible for it should consider these factors:
(1) Subject and purpose of the content, ability to promote content to customers.
(2) Audience—Who are they? What do they need?
(3) Coordinate and communicate with all appropriate stakeholders, clearance offices and decision makers.
(4) Coordinate clearances with appropriate Services and Staff Offices within GSA.
(5) Staffing level needed to keep the content fresh and current.
(6) Content presentation in laymens' terms.
(7) Content effectiveness, accuracy, and importance to user.
(8) Adequate point of contact information.
(9) Consistent and accessible organization and format.
(10) Consistent usability message.
(11) Age of content (timeliness and currency).
(12) Conformity with GSA brand.
(13) Consistency with GSA's enterprise message and vision.
(14) Uniqueness of content—Does it already exist elsewhere?
(15) Compatibility with the design and navigation of the gsa.gov portal.
(16) Content titles accessible by common search term.
b. Economy of words. To help web users find information about how to do business with GSA, "less" is generally better than "more":
(1) Keep an entry short.
(2) Put the most important information first.
(3) Use plain language, not bureaucratic jargon. (Guidance is available at http://www.plainlanguage.gov).
(4) Use terminology the audience will recognize rather than internal, agency business-line terms (e.g.—"cars for sale" instead of "Federal asset sales" or "fleet management"). Don't waste space, use "GSA", not internal organization names or acronyms.
(5) Use straightforward topic names whenever possible, not agency-specific namesc. Writing style. Detailed guidance on most components of gsa.gov, including content, is available at http://insite.gsa.gov/portal. Helpful information on writing for the Web can be found at this URL. To ensure consistency of capitalization, spelling, and punctuation, all content should conform to rules in the GSA Editorial Styleguide, available at http://insite.gsa.gov/portal. If the GSA Editorial Styleguide does not provide guidance, consult the AP Style Manual. This guidance is recommended for all GSA websites.
d. Providing contact information.
(1) Agency-level contact information should be available on every web page. Whenever possible, provide both an e-mail address and a phone number for every topic. There is a general assumption that website visitors prefer requesting additional information via e-mail. Organizations should either establish generic e-mail addresses where the public can send comments and questions or direct comments to a specific person and make certain that the contact name remains current. At a minimum there should be a link to "contacts" or "contact us" in the header or footer of each web page.
(2) Organizations must view e-mail addresses published on the Internet as business assets and recognize that there is an opportunity cost to poor responses to customer inquiries. Organizations must see responding to customer inquiries as part of their core business and all reasonable inquiries must be acknowledged and/or answered within a reasonable time frame.
(3) For Regional content, visitors to the site should not need to know the name of the Region that provides the service, hosts the training session, or holds the auction, etc. It should be sufficient for visitors to know that GSA offers the service, training session, auction, etc.
e. Timeliness.
(1) Effective customer service and the credibility of GSA's websites depend on timeliness and currency. Out-of-date information and broken links should be removed or fixed promptly. Web visitors, in particular, expect information to be current. This is especially true for important contract information, announcements of training classes, and application deadlines, but should be a consideration for all website content.
(2) Information must be monitored to ensure it is kept current and accurate. Content shall be reviewed at least every six months for currency. Outdated content shall either be deleted or made current. Historical documents, such as news releases and annual reports, should be cited appropriately.
(3) The date of the most recent review of the content will be noted on each page.
f. Embargo/release. Public release of information must comply with any embargoes. Whenever possible, electronic release should occur simultaneously with the final clearance of the hard copy for publication.
g. Linking practices. Pages on GSA websites may include hypertext links or pointers to information created and maintained by other public and private organizations as well as other GSA organizations. The selection and presentation of these links must follow these requirements:
(1) Purpose. GSA linking practices are designed to:
(a) Inform visitors how links are chosen,
(b) Ensure that links are working,
(c) Avoid unnecessarily duplication of information,
(d) Promote the use of federal government websites in a way that reinforces their credibility and provides visitors as seamless navigation as possible,
(e) Remind visitors that nonfederal websites do not necessarily operate under the same laws, regulations, and policies as federal websites, and
(f) Maximize opportunities for GSA to ask other sites to link to GSA websites, while maintaining clear and fair criteria for deciding which links to use.
(2) Rationale for linking to non-GSA websites. The primary purpose of GSA websites is to provide information about GSA products and services, communicate with constituents, present governmentwide policy, and help GSA accomplish its mission. The goal is to provide as much information on GSA websites as possible without duplicating information authoritatively maintained elsewhere. Sometimes it is appropriate to assist customers and audiences by helping them easily access related non-GSA websites.
(a) Offices shall evaluate the appropriateness (i.e., mission-related, no conflict of interest) and the value of any external links included in the material presented on GSA websites.
(b) External links should be included when they lead to information that will have value for GSA's customers and audiences and prevent GSA from duplicating content maintained by the authoritative source.
(3) Linking policy. Every separate GSA public website must develop and post a clear and comprehensive policy for linking to other websites. This policy must include criteria or guidelines for selecting and maintaining external links. At a minimum, these policies must be available from a "Web Policies and Important Links" page. The gsa.gov linking policy at http://www.gsa.gov/linkingpolicy presents the policy, disclaimers, and link notifications of gsa.gov and can serve as a model for all GSA websites.
(4) Site departure notification. GSA public websites must notify visitors when they are leaving the website for a nonfederal website. Nonfederal websites are any sites not using a .gov, .mil, or .fed.us domain. GSA public websites must not notify visitors when they are leaving the website for another GSA website or for another Federal Government website. GSA sites must notify visitors that a link goes to a nonfederal site using one of the following:
(a) Displaying all nonfederal links in a labeled listing separate from Federal links.
(b) Placing an icon next to the link, http://www.gsa.gov/linkingpolicy.
(c) Describing the site as "a commercial site" or "a nonfederal education site" or "a nonfederal public organization site" etc. in the text immediately accompanying the link, or
(d) Inserting an exit page that displays after the user selects the link. This is the least accepted method of sending the visitor to another site. It may continue to be used if it is currently part of an existing GSA website design. It should not be used on new or redesigned GSA websites.
(5) Disclaimers. GSA public websites must disclaim responsibility for the content and privacy policies used by nonfederal websites. At a minimum, disclaimers must be available from a "Web Policies and Important Links" page. In the interest of seamless government and maintaining the general public's trust, GSA public websites must not disclaim responsibility for the content of other Federal public websites.
(a) Disclaimers for gsa.gov can be found at http://www.gsa.gov/linkingpolicy.
(b) GSA websites must not use disclaimers, including exit notification pages, when linking to other federal agency websites. There is no need to disclaim responsibility for content on another federal website.
(6) Criteria for selecting links from GSA websites. In developing criteria for what links to include, the following should be considered:
(a) The decision to include a link to an external source should be consistent with sound public policy and support the mission of GSA and its programs.
(b) Commercial sites that could be interpreted as implied favoritism or bias relative to other similar commercial sites are not appropriate. If other sites exist which offer similar products, information, or services there must be a link to all sites or none. However, if GSA has a formal relationship with organizations or businesses GSA websites may link to their sites. All participating partners in a business venture with GSA must be treated equally.
(c) Links to sites that pose potential privacy issues because they track or compile individual visitor data are generally not appropriate. In general, links to counters, local weather forecasts, local news, etc. are not appropriate for GSA websites for this reason.
(d) The content on sites to which GSA websites link should be easy for Content Creators to monitor and validate on a regular basis.
Any copyright issues (e.g., a news site with an article about a GSA program) must be thoroughly researched and resolved prior to requesting or implementing a link to the site.
(7) Review of links. All GSA website managers must establish a process and schedule to review external links to make sure they work and remain appropriate. The schedule must be included in the linking policy.
(a) Links should be reviewed for functionality monthly or more frequently to ensure they are not "broken".
(b) Links should be reviewed editorially to ensure value every quarter, at a minimum.
(8) Links in documents and reports. These linking practices apply to URL's in documents and reports published by GSA when they are made available for download from GSA websites. GSA is not responsible for maintaining links contained in documents or reports belonging to another organization that are republished on GSA websites. Links should include a "title" tag when appropriate.
(9) Payment. No payment or reimbursement of any kind shall be accepted in exchange for links on an official GSA website.
h. Collecting information from the public.
(1) Under the Paperwork Reduction Act and OMB regulations, the Office of Management and Budget must approve information collection from the public.
(2) Information collected by software programs for site management must only be used to create summary statistics for such purposes as assessing what information is of most and least interest or identifying problem areas. Privacy Act notices must be used to notify users about what information is collected or stored, why it is being done, and how it is used to comply with the Privacy Act. The GSA homepage, gsa.gov, shall always link to the most current privacy, security, and cookies policies. All GSA sites shall link to the main policies, and if these policies do not cover all of the issues related to a particular site, it is the responsibility of the site owner to supplement existing stated policies with local ones.
(3) The MyGSA function on gsa.gov is an example of data collection that is permitted. MyGSA allows users to voluntarily provide information to create a customized website.
(4) With respect to surveys on the web: A single, general question (such as "Please let us know what you think of the GSA website" or "Please give us your feedback") may be asked without prior approval. The Privacy and Paperwork Reduction Acts require a statement that clearly explains the purpose and use of any survey from the public.
i. Security and appropriate content.
(1) No information that is withheld from the public by statute, or otherwise restricted, may be placed on or linked from a public website. This prohibition includes information that is classified, sensitive but unclassified, for official use only, or protected under privacy laws.
(2) In some instances, there may be a need to place documents/collections that are not officially public (i.e., embargoed publications, collections in development, etc.) in a nonprivate directory for access by a test group or work team. The content reviewer/publisher managing the content website is responsible for determining whether to password-protect the materials to prevent access by unauthorized individuals. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) guidelines for security of websites should be followed at a minimum.
(3) GSA must be increasingly concerned that information posted to our websites could be used against federal personnel and facilities. The categories of information in the following section are either restricted or must not be posted on GSA public websites. This list is not all-inclusive. Content Creators and Reviewers and Publishers should use their judgment for anything not covered by this list.
(4) Content Reviewers/Publishers must ensure that content does not compromise security and follows these restrictions/prohibitions.
j. Required content and prohibitions. GSA's goal is to provide information and service to the public. There is certain content that is required by federal web policy, which can be found in OMB guidance (http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/memoranda/fy2005/m05-04.pdf) and on the Web Content Managers Online Toolkit (http://www.firstgov.gov/webcontent/index.shtml). However, there is some content that is prohibited. Do not post the following information on public Internet websites:
(1) Floor plans or blueprints of federal facilities, electrical, water, or telephone diagrams detailing routes and locations of existing wires or pipes or shafts.
(2) Plans or photos showing emergency generators, tanks with emergency fuel supplies, and any escape routes in the building or compound.
(3) The existence, location, types or specifications of any physical or technical security devices, and/or any missing, broken or failure of any security devices (normally classified).
(4) Continuity of Operations (COOP) Plans.
(5) Backup plans for computer operations.
(6) Classified or sensitive but unclassified material.
(7) Privacy Act information: personal information relating to U.S. citizens, such as Social Security account numbers, dates of birth.
(8) Home address and home or cellular telephone numbers of individuals.
(9) Names, locations, and any other identifying information about family members of federal employees.
(10) Personal medical records.
(11) Any information about personal legal problems.
(12) Internal GSA personnel rules and practices when they refer to specific individuals.
(13) Any information dealing with investigative actions concerning a specific person.
(14) Action on reports of selection boards when it refers to specific individuals.
(15) Labor union representation rights and duties when it refers to specific individuals.
(16) OPM examination/confidential records.
(17) Drug abuse prevention/rehabilitation records.
(18) Software or technical information that could put GSA resources at risk, such as network diagrams or port scanners.
k. Restrictions. GSA Content Reviewers/Publishers must restrict information on the Internet about government personnel, especially individuals serving or traveling overseas in an official capacity. Please note, however, these restrictions do not apply in cases where public release of the information has been authorized. Among the categories of information that should be restricted unless otherwise approved:
(1) Financial records of GSA.
(2) Distribution lists.
(3) Shipping and receiving documents.
(4) Photographs and biographies of GSA individuals, except as approved for public affairs purposes.
(5) Pictures of federal facilities, including, and of particular concern, the display of security countermeasures. Official photographs of federal buildings may be used.
l. Additional resources. GSA website content owners can use research based Web Design and Usability Guidelines (http://usability.gov/pdfs/guidelines.html) and the Federal Web Content Managers Toolkit (http://www.webcontent.gov) to supplement the GSA guidance in this order.
7. Design standards.
a. Good website design is never an end in itself; websites must be functional as well as attractive. The acid test of any website is its utility in delivering information and services to its intended audience, however broadly or narrowly defined.
b. Web design should create trust in how information will be organized and presented. Users should be able to move easily from one section of a GSA website to another and back and still find a consistent organization and presentation of materials. The transition to GSA off-portal websites from and to gsa.gov should be seamless.
c. The web design should take into account that users want to find specific information and are not concerned about or interested in knowing the bureaucratic organization of GSA.
d. Graphics should supplement the text and engage users. Use easy-to-read and meaningful graphics. Graphics should download quickly, as noted above. Test and evaluate all photos and graphics; if they result in slowing access time, remove them and seek another solution. When used, graphics must be accompanied by the appropriate Section 508 compliant alternatives.
8. GSA brands and sub-brands.
a. All GSA websites are required to adhere to the most current GSA branding guidelines. They can be found at http://insite.gsa.gov/portal .
b. All GSA websites shall be hosted on servers using the ".gov" domain. These domains are subject to approval by OCSC/Editorial Services and are implemented through the Office of the CIO. Except in unique circumstances, specifically approved by the GSA Administrator, no GSA website may be hosted exclusively on a non-government domain. Non-government domain names may be registered to prevent site poaching or for customer convenience, but these names shall not be advertised.
c. GSA has two kinds of Internet content sites, informational and e-commerce. E-commerce sites are those that allow customers to conduct business transactions, while informational sites are those that contain information about GSA products, services, programs, policies, offerings, events, and organizations. All GSA informational content sites shall be consolidated into gsa.gov. Approved e-commerce sites may utilize independent technologies as warranted by their business requirements. E-commerce sites shall incorporate GSA's corporate brand (look and feel).
9. Accessibility. GSA websites, like all government websites, must be accessible to persons with disabilities. All Content Owners and Content Creators must review their content to ensure compatibility with the Section 508 standards as they apply to Internet and Internet information and applications. Web pages and functionality of sites should be tested for accessibility via screenreaders and other reader devises (http://section508.gov).
10. Utilities, plug-ins, and downloads.
a. Most users of GSA websites are seeking information and want to find it quickly. They are not looking to be dazzled, only informed.
b. Several widely used and accessible utilities are now commonplace on the World Wide Web and used on websites, notably Adobe Acrobat Reader for accessing formatted PDF and the associated Adobe plug-in for converting PDF to HTML.
c. Determine if any other application or plug-in has genuine program value. Is it worth the resources to create a separate text version? If the plug-in has no real program value, do not use it.
d. Flash, streaming video, and audio are only appropriate under certain circumstances and their use on the GSA portal, gsa.gov must be approved by the Governing Council.
11. Cookies.
a. Particular privacy concerns may arise when web technology can track the activities of users over time and across different websites. The issue here is the involuntary profiling of users and users' browsing habits. GSA site owners are prohibited from involuntary profiling of users. In addition, GSA site owners are prohibited from sharing users' browsing information with non-government third parties.
b. Since cookies have been identified as a technology used in the involuntary profiling of users, federal sites are only allowed to use cookies under these conditions:
(1) A clear and conspicuous notice that cookies are being used,
(2) A compelling need to gather such data on the site,
(3) Appropriate and publicly disclosed privacy safeguards for handling information derived from cookies, and
(4) Personally approved by the GSA Administrator.
c. This policy applies only to "persistent" cookies that are stored in a computer's hard drive. It does not apply to so-called "session" cookies, which are temporarily placed in memory for the duration of a single session between the computer and a website server. Session cookies, which serve essentially as "placeholders" during a website user interaction, disappear or expire when the user leaves the site, and cannot be used to store or track personal information.
12. Exceptions.
a. There are no exceptions for the requirements in the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Memorandum 05-04 dated December 17, 2004.

the default themes are ugly for both, myBB and SMF - and as I said, the theme will change for final launch (or short after - depends on the issues). But just for testing the conversion the default one is fine enough for now (screenshot is default).
Also just had a little closer look at SMF. Their "plugin system" isn't much different form myBB, except that they have a repository browser that eases installation - but as it seems the addons are just extracted and merged into the main source - which is not what I expected from a real "plugin system". I know it that plugins stay in their own folders (like f.e. themes) and just register for hooks - easier to follow what's installed and easier deletion on file level if things go wrong. Also it does modify source code of core files on some "plugins" which is in my eyes a total no-go.

My comparison of the plugin system was vs systems like phpBB (total hacked crap, often has issues with themes), I had no knowledge of myBB, you are right, they are very similar.
The look and feel theme of SMF is fairly well separated from the general forum code, mods tend to be able to cleanly install and uninstall without issue, some do mod more than others, that is for sure. Security updates are applied from the user control panel, and so are most minor updates I haven't had any mod conflicts from security updates, but I have seen a warning posted once or twice, but the impacted mods where quickly updated..
No server side work needed accept for proper forum, and db backups in case something goes wrong. Installing just about everything stays within the web interface.
My only argument on paper between SMF and myBB would be looking at the community support, portal support, and plugins available and how well maintained they are.
Other than the admin screens having some poor layout choices, SMF has been pain free to manage on the sites I have used it on.

I gave SMF and it's converter 3 times a try, and it crashed three times after around 30% and is because of it's structure hard to understand and debug. So we sticked with myBB where the conversion runs smoothly and was easily extendable to add missing features. And extending was really needed, because all converters for forums I found so far (including SMF and phpBB) only convert the basics like users, forums, threads, pms and posts, but no subscriptions, buddies, profile settings, user titles and so on - so I had to write some additional converter modules which was pretty straight forward for myBB where the converter was already modular. Also the overall structure of myBB is pretty close to vB so that links from external sites to us should still work (up to a certain degree).

As much as I trust your judgement and leadership with XBMC, you've been led astray with respect to MyBB. Decisions based on ideology not needs hurts your own OSS project. I think XBMC needs to re-think this forum migration.

It might be the biggest reason for some, but it is far from the only reason. Other forum software costs money, for example. The one we use right now requires a license to be renewed again and again.
Don't let this thread fool you; this has been discussed for a looong time and every possible point has been brought up. We are at a point where we are not discussing if we are moving to a new forum software. We are, period.

Things are going well - da-anda has been doing great work getting the convertor scripts up and running and actually converting useful stuff across to the new system.
The forums will likely be taken down sometime in the next 24 hours and when they're back up again (hopefully not long!) they'll be all new and shiny

Hi there
Alot of problems on your new website using an iPhone. When I zoom at the top of the page u have text overlap.
Also u have problems with the post meassage in portrait and landscape modes as there is alot of overlap there making it very hard to type which I am tryin to do now.
I would test your website on a iPhone as its impossible to use and your old site was fine.
Also when the page is still loading and you scroll to the bottem of the page it keeps reverting to the bottem and u can not read anything untill the page stops loading never did this on the old site u could still read a certin location on the site as its loading now u can not.
Great look to the new site I like it apart from them bugs.

Just a note....the zd1211 is a zydas chipset not an Atheros chipset. But, what you described for your patching process is the same one I used that worked pretty well for me.
BUT, the process is detailed...isn't it?
Some zydas USB units work well and some don't also....so one recommendation is to download and burn the wifimay-0.4 CD and use their very simple but effective zydas patch with their ISO. That way you can check and make sure your zydas does injection....without wondering if the BT2 patching process was done correctly or not.
Then come back to BT2 after you have confirmed a valid zydas usb and play with the process....turn PC off and reboot, turn the PC off, change the usb plug in position then reboot...and so on. I found some sensitivity to that sort of thing initially.
Let me know if you need more help.

What I Did This Summer: Create theatre posters
"What I Did This Summer" follows a number of University of South Carolina students this summer as they work, travel, and explore the world. Many of them are blogging about their adventures. This is the sixth story in the series.
Twice a week this summer, Ben Kiehl walks across campus and into Longstreet Theatre with his sketchbook firmly clutched under his arm.
That sketchbook, which has the status of an NFL playbook, contains the promotional art for Theatre South Carolina's upcoming main stage season. The art will appear in theatre brochures and, a few weeks before each show, will be printed onto posters and strategically placed on campus and around the city.
In other words, everyone will see it.
A senior majoring in art with a focus on graphic design, Kiehl was recommended for the internship by art professor Marius Valdes and selected through a competitive process.
Translating sketches into digital art
"This is the second year we have chosen a student to create the main stage art," said Kevin Bush, marketing director for the Department of Theatre and Dance. "And this is the first year we've had a student—senior art major Linda Fung from Lexington—create art for the upcoming Lab Theatre productions."
The first play of the main stage season, Kiehl said, has been the most difficult to illustrate.
"Coming up with a really good idea or really good illustration was hardest for Our Country is Good," said Kiehl, who is from Prosperity. "It's an award-winning play by Timberlake Wertenbaker about a group of British convicts exiled to Australia in the 18th century. It's a great play, but it's been challenging figuring out how to create one clear image to portray what goes on in it."
Naturally, the first step was to read the play.
"Kevin and I began meeting two days a week to bounce ideas off each other, and then we picked the best ideas," Kiehl said. He creates a sketch based on those ideas and then the two refine it.
Kevin Bush
"Having well-crafted, striking imagery helps to make each show stand out in the very full marketplace of cultural offerings in town, and we always hope that going the extra mile with our marketing imagery will result in bigger audiences," Bush said.
"Kevin also wants to show the quality of the department and the plays," Kiehl said. "Hopefully the posters will show that artistic excellence."

Columbus Short Fails To Show Up For Court, Warrant Raised
Former "Scandal" star Columbus Short is facing more legal trouble after missing another court date.
According to TMZ.com, Short failed to show up for a scheduled hearing in his domestic violence case on Wednesday. Since Columbus already has a warrant out for his arrest, the judge in the case was left with no choice but to raise the bond on the warrant from $40,000 to a half-million.
The original warrant was issued last month and since then he's been vacationing on the Caribbean island of Barbados.

Seattle • Richard Sherman and Bobby Wagner stood face to face, screaming at each other in celebration, counting up all the turnovers the Seattle Seahawks accumulated.
There were plenty, along with a franchise record for points in a 58-0 rout of the inept Arizona Cardinals on Sunday.
Sherman and Wagner each had two interceptions, part of the eight turnovers forced by the Seahawks. Marshawn Lynch had three touchdown runs and Seattle (8-5) kept firm grasp on the final NFC wild-card spot. It also kept alive slim chances of catching San Francisco in the NFC West.
The Seahawks also picked up their first division victory of the season and gave coach Pete Carroll his first eight-win season in three years with the Seahawks.
Leon Washington's 3-yard run with 2:32 left pushed the Seahawks past the old record of 56 points scored against Buffalo in 1977. The eight takeaways were their second most, equaling a 1998 achievement.
Lynch ran for 128 yards on 11 carries and scored on runs of 20, 4 and 33 yards. His last score on the first drive of the second half tied his career high for TD runs in a game and was the capper to his afternoon. Lynch's backup, Robert Turbin, also topped the century mark with 108 yards.
Rookie quarterback Russell Wilson wasn't asked to do much, completing 7 of 13 for 148 yards and one touchdown. But unlike last week in Chicago, the Seahawks didn't need any heroics from Wilson.
In fact, Wilson got to be a spectator for the last 25 minutes while Matt Flynn finally got his first regular-season action in a Seahawks uniform.
The Seahawks scored nearly every way possible, turning their first home game in about a month into a rout that will only increase debate in Phoenix whether Ken Whisenhunt will be back as Cardinals coach.
It was an effortless performance by the Cardinals (4-9), who have lost nine straight, the longest slide for the franchise since 1944. It was the worst shutout loss in Cardinals history and their first time being shut out since losing 38-0 to the Seahawks in 2003. The Cardinals gained just 143 yards and almost as many turnovers as first downs (10).
Larry Fitzgerald had one reception and that didn't come until the fourth quarter. John Skelton made numerous ill-advised throws into coverage and was intercepted four times.
Arizona actually started well, with Skelton completing his first three passes. When Skelton finally threw in the direction of Fitzgerald the day quickly spiraled out of control. Skelton's pass found Fitzgerald's hands, but was wrestled free by K.J. Wright, tipped from hitting the ground by Walter Thurmond and into Wagner's hands.
Wagner's return set up the first of Steven Hauschka's three field goals. The Seahawks then went 85 yards in 11 plays capped by Lynch sprinting around the edge for a 20-yard TD.
Wilson later hit Anthony McCoy for 67 yards to set up Lynch's 4-yard TD.
Skelton was stripped by Chris Clemons and fell on the loose ball for the second Arizona turnover. Skelton threw into triple coverage to Fitzgerald and Sherman caught the poor throw, returning it 19 yards for a touchdown.
Patrick Peterson muffed a punt deep in his zone, the ball was batted around and eventually tipped to Malcolm Smith, who recovered in the end zone for a 31-0 lead.
And finally, Peterson was hit from behind and fumbled on a punt return late in the first half. Wilson hit Zach Miller for a 24-yard TD with 6 seconds left in the second quarter.
About the only bit of fight shown by the Cardinals came late in the third quarter during a pushing and shoving match that resulted in Daryn Colledge getting a personal foul for unnecessary roughness. By that point, the Seahawks led 51-0.

Post-Rose Bowl Locker Room Lowdown: CB Terrence Brown
Stanford's post-game locker room was a happy, satisfied one to be sure. Players were already reflecting back on the Cardinal's memorable path to Pasadena. We caught up with redshirt junior cornerback Terrence Brown (#6), one of the young guys we have enjoyed seeing develop into a true champion over the course of four glorious years of Stanford Football. Brown played ball at nearby Orange Lutheran and had many friends and family members watching his team emerge victorious at the 2013 Rose Bowl!

Three wise men, or three wise-guy business partners angling for a way to cash in on an iconic brand?
Mark Walter: The money guy. He's got the gold.
Stan Kasten: The brains of the operation. If not toting the frankincense, then it's his baseball common sense.
Magic Johnson: Puts a happy face on everything, generates good will, opens doors and greets everyone coming through. He doesn't need great quantities of myrrh. He's already the maker of mirth.
This Chavez Ravine trio who pooled their funds, friends and fame to rescue the Dodgers from a bankruptcy for a reported $2.1 billion earlier this year and then spent even more in roster moves and stadium renovations have already succeeded in becoming our picks for the 2012 Los Angeles News Group Sports Persons of the Year.
"Really? Wow, thank you, for Mark and Stan, we're blown away by this and very excited," Johnson said this week when told of the decision.
This wasn't so clear-cut when you consider all that happened this past 12 months.
The Kings' Stanley Cup run coached up by late-comer Darryl Sutter and net-minded by the irrepressible Jonathan Quick provided two solid candidates for this honor, not to mention contributions by the dental-challenged team captain Dustin Brown.
The Angels' American League Rookie of the Year and MVP runner-up Mike Trout didn't have to fish for compliments.
UCLA football coach Jim Mora, or senior running back and all-time rushing leader Johnathan Franklin planted their flag to claim city bragging rights, squashing a USC squad that had all the star power and preseason glory it couldn't handle.
There was so much So Cal girl power that stepped up in 2012, it could have created a category all to itself based only on gold-medal collecting from the London Summer Olympics. Sprinters Allyson Felix and Carmelita Jeter, beach volleyball legends Misty May-Treanor and Kerry Walsh Jennings and tennis star Serena Williams, who also won two majors, led this effort.
So it is with some distinction that Walter, Kasten and Johnson emerge as three stars combined into one who best fits the definition of the person, or persons, who generated the most news in Southern California this last year - good, bad or to be determined.
Whatever the financial equation produces for Southern California sports fans, with a new local TV rights deal hanging in the balance, it goes back to the elaborate news conference in April at Dodger Stadium, one where Vin Scully introduced the Guggenheim Baseball Management team as "the group that will bring the Dodgers higher than the Sistine Chapel."
Walter introduced himself, then quietly stepped aside and watched Johnson and Kasten work the room for immediate approval.
Johnson, who deposited $50 million of his own money into this ownership, declared it a "new day in Dodgertown," trying to erase the aftertaste of the Frank McCourt ownership.
Kasten, who built the Atlanta Braves' foundation for their NL dominance in the 1980 s and '90 s, said the team's goal was to "win now - we're not going to wait two years. We're in a market where fans expect to contend now."
Walter, whose background is in the insurance industry, was likened by Johnson to Lakers owner Dr. Jerry Buss: "He'll put money into the team and stay out of the way. He wants to win."
Then they took off their ceremonial L.A. caps and went to work.
After a trade-deadline deal to bring high-priced shortstop Hanley Ramirez to L.A. from Miami, Kasten pulled off one of the greatest waiver-wire transactions in league history in late August, bringing stars Adrian Gonzalez, Carl Crawford and Josh Beckett from Boston - and all their financial baggage - for a late wild-card run that didn't materialize.
Their investment in talent also went global, demonstrated in the surprising signings of Cuban outfielder Yasiel Puig (seven years, $42 million) and South Korean pitcher Hyun-Jin Ryu (six years, $36 million, on top of a $25 million negotiation fee).
It was capped off last week when the team handed former AL Cy Young Award winner and 2012 Angels late-season rental Zack Greinke received a six-year deal that with incentives could result in a $158 million payoff, making him the game's highest-paid right-hander.
To be unveiled next month are plans already under way for an upgraded Dodger Stadium, with a wider concourse area, new scoreboards, a new sound system and better cell phone towers, expected to be finished - no fooling - by Opening Day on April 1 at home against the World Series champion San Francisco Giants.
All that, plus bringing back the Cool-A-Coo ice cream sandwich while lowering the parking fees, speaks to an ownership team that appears set on resurrecting a Major League Baseball franchise that hasn't worn a crown in 25 years.
"When I'm out in the community, the reception has been phenomenal, and I don't think we've really done anything yet - there are no results to show (in a championship)," Kasten said. "But we carry the name 'Dodgers' and that's an extraordinary thing that I've never experienced. It's such a wonderful thing to be part of. It's been a blast."
Johnson agreed his sense that things are going in the right direction is also based on conversations with fans.
"I feel like the impact we've had has been tremendous, getting the fans to understand we want to win and we're going to put ourselves in position to do that," he said. "Dodger pride is coming back. We have a vision for what we want this team to look like and we're all on board, executing that game plan."
Scully said this week that when he was growing up in the streets of New York, "we always wound up an argument with the statement - 'Put your money where your mouth is.' They have done just that. They want to win and they want it now. It surely will be exciting to see the results of their labors.
"This new ownership has not only revitalized the organization but their overall enthusiasm has uplifted the feelings of the fans and the city itself.
"Before they are finished, I truly feel they will make a wonderful partnership with the city in overall improvements, to make it an even greater place than it is today."
We could make a case that Johnson all by himself would be a reasonable choice as the Sports Person of the Year for 2012. A documentary ESPN produced last March about how AIDS is viewed 20 years after he announced his retirement from the Lakers because of the HIV virus was a sobering reminder that there is no real cure. Yet Johnson thrives with medication, working out and a business work ethic that mirrors his playing days. He's also visual and vocal from a TV standpoint, being part of the ABC/ESPN NBA studio - and never without an opinion on how the Lakers are faring under new coaches and players.
Instead, pairing him for this award with Walter and Kasten creates something much bigger.
"The reason we work well together is there are no egos involved," Johnson said. "We all just want what's best."
Kasten repeated that "none of us would be here without the other two. And I'm low man on this totem pole. I talked to Mark almost daily about the big issues, the budgets and the costs, and Earvin is there spreading his particular cache across all the departments, bringing credibility in anything we do. It's a cool blending."
Former Dodgers general manager Fred Claire, who worked both under the ownership of Peter O'Malley and then the Fox Group between 1987-98, says there is no question that the new ownership group "has shown it is going to do everything in its power to make the Dodgers a winning team and to enhance the fan experience at Dodger Stadium.
"Mark Walter said it best when he termed the Dodgers a 'treasure' that you hold on to forever. Magic understands the fans and what the fans want to see and feel. And Stan Kasten knows the inside and outside of the business of baseball.
"Bottom line, the Dodgers are relevant again."
No disrespect to Ned Colletti, but wouldn't Claire love to be back in that GM chair again with this ownership team?
"Considering my final payroll in 1998 was $47,970,000 - 12 th in the majors - I would say yes," Claire added.
"Besides, who wouldn't want to be a teammate of Magic?"

Kefa: sensei, you want me 2 turn into water??O.O........i'll try..... turn me back 2 normal
*kefa stands straight closing his eyes and putting his hands together, kefa focuses on his water chakra thinking of how 2 make his body liquid, kefa releases his chakra to surround his whole body in the inside then he makes the water chakra flow through his body reaching every part easily, then kefa fuses the water chakra with his body(now everypart of his whole body is fused with water chakra). Kefa then uses nature manipulation to make his water chakra into water, since his body is fused with his water chakra his body starts turning into water, kefa starts to melt, turning into water; he melts from his feet up to his head, Kefa is now in water form on the ground*

- Installation
Tile must be installed over a suitable substrate to insure a proper installation. Glass tile should be installed over a clean, sound, and flat surface, free of contaminates including curing compounds. Substrate should be free of cracks. If used in a wet area you must waterproof. See manufacturer's recommendation on a membrane for crack and water protection that is compatible with the setting material you are using. Glass is reflective therefore any inconsistencies in the substrate will result in a poor installation. For pools and fountains we recommend installing a mortar bed according to TCA P601-98. EXPANSION AND CONTROL JOINTS PER TCA EJ171-05 Expansion joints should be installed at all "changes in plane" in the tile work and where tile abuts restraining surfaces, therefore silicone caulking sealant must be installed in all corner joints in place of grout.INSTALLATION
- To avoid affecting the color of glass tile, White modified thin-set such as Bostik Glass Mate is highly is recommended for all installations.
- Apply thin-set using a trowel as recommended by the manufacturer.
- Apply as much adhesive as can be covered within 10-15 minutes.
- Grout joint should be a minimum of 1/16" and not butt set.
- The trowel size you can use is a 9" Trowel - 1/16" square notch.
- Grout joints should be packed full and free of voids and pits.
- Clean excess grout as the work progresses before it has hardens completely.
- Acids should never be used for cleaning grout haze.
- Use a damp sponge for the final cleaning and to smooth out the grout joints.
- It is recommended to use non-sanded grout.
- It is recommended to use grout release, then grout the tile, then use a sealant to the tile such as our MP90
The recommended cutting method is to use a wet saw with a diamond blade that is specifically for cutting glass. Edges can be sanded smooth after cutting.
- It is recommended to use grout release, then grout the tile, then use a sealant to the tile such as our MP90

For just a moment, former Denver Broncos standout Austin "Goose" Gonsoulin didn't think about the open-heart surgery he underwent a few weeks ago or the cancer that has spread through his body.
For a brief instant, the American Football League All Star almost felt like a safety again, transported back to a time when he used to make interceptions like this.
The 74-year-old Gonsoulin had just caught a flash across his television screen: Denver cornerback Chris Harris stepping in front of a pass and racing down the sideline for a 98-yard touchdown.
"I remember exactly what that feels like," said Gonsoulin, who's known around the Mile High City as an "Original Bronco" after being acquired in a trade before the team's first season in 1960. "Such a great feeling when you're in the open like that."
These days, Gonsoulin feels pretty good, even with all his health concerns.
Just last month, he had a heart attack that led to quadruple bypass surgery.
That was on top of this: Nearly a year ago he went in for an exam and there, all over the X-ray, was the return of his cancer. Only this time it appeared in his ribs, collar bone and shoulders. It was near his knees, back and hips. It showed up along his legs and arms, too.
"I lit up like a Christmas tree," he said.
"But I'm still here."
And enjoying the simple pleasures like watching his beloved Broncos.
"That Peyton Manning is pretty good, huh?" Gonsoulin said.
Around the league
49ers • San Francisco defensive tackle Ricky Jean Francois has been preparing all week to start in place of All-Pro Justin Smith on the NFL's second-ranked defense.
Bears • Linebacker Brian Urlacher will miss his third straight game because of a hamstring injury on Sunday.
Browns • Mohamed Massaquoi, Jordan Cameron and Tashaun Gipson will not travel with Cleveland to Denver.

Young children often put small objects, such as marbles, pins, or coins, in their mouths. These objects may then be swallowed. Although this can be frightening, it's not always cause for concern. Most often, the object will pass through your child's system without harm. But a foreign object may become stuck in the esophagus (food tube) or trachea (windpipe). In that case, your child needs prompt medical care.
Contact your child's doctor if you think your child has swallowed a nonfood object. Don't try to remove the object yourself. This may cause more harm. Seek emergency help if your child:
Has trouble breathing, speaking, or swallowing.
Is spitting up saliva or vomiting.
Has chest pain, stomach pain, or pain when swallowing.
A doctor will ask about the swallowed object and perform a physical exam.
X-rays may be taken to help locate the object, although this depends on your child's symptoms and what the object was.
In some cases, a test called a barium swallow or cat scan (CT) may be used. This might be done if you are not sure, but suspect an object was swallowed and it does not show up on plain X-ray. In a barium swallow, your child drinks a thick liquid and X-rays are then taken. CT scanning is a special X-ray test and may be used if your doctor suspects an abscess has formed or if there is concern about rupture of the digestive tract. This helps your doctor see objects that may not show up on other tests.
Treatment will depend on the type of object and where it's located. Your doctor may suggest one of the following measures:
Watchful waiting: A smooth object that has not gotten stuck may pass on its own in 24 hours.
Esophagoscopy: To remove an object and check for any damage, an esophagoscope (a lighted, telescope-like tube) may be used. The instrument is put down into the esophagus through the mouth. Your child will be given medication so he or she "sleeps" through the procedure.
Call your child's doctor or return to the ER if your child:
Is nauseated or vomits.
Has stomach pain or bloody stools.

On Sunday, Washington, D.C. had that rarest of rare things--a legitimate snowfall. It's fairly common to wander around this city and snap photos of the buildings and monuments, but the opportunity to do so with a nice coating of snow on the ground is rare.
So, as the snow was winding down, my wife and I hurried out and began snapping some shots before it all melted away. I think D.C. is a gorgeous city, but it takes on a completely different character in the snow. I've attached some of the shots I took here--hope you enjoy them.
Our condo building, in the middle of the snowstorm:
The White House, from Lafayette Park:
St. John's Church, across from the White House on 16th St. It's a very old church, many of the presidents have worshipped here:
One of my favorite shots.
Another one of the White House:
Statue in front of the Treasury Building:
Lamp posts at the gates to the White House:
The World War II Memorial, with the Lincoln memorial in the background. (Sorry, no American Idol contestants today...)
...more to come.

Fox Covers Up Romney's Support For Ryan's Medicare Plan
Blog ››› ››› MELODY JOHNSON
Fox did its best to cover up the fact that Mitt Romney has endorsed the radical Medicare plan put forward by his running mate Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI).
Fox & Friends co-host Steve Doocy claimed that "Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan are not running on the Ryan plan. They're running on the Mitt Romney plan." Guest host Eric Bolling said he's "not sure what the Romney plan is," and Fox Business host Stuart Varney similarly said "I'm not entirely sure in detail what the Romney plan is."*
Fox's attempt to distance Romney from Ryan's plan echoes the Romney campaign's own talking points. Romney's campaign has said that "Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan have different views on some policy areas -- like Medicare."
It's not surprising that Fox and Romney would distance themselves from Ryan's plan. Ryan's plan would end Medicare as we know it by transforming it into a voucher system, a move that would hurt the program's elderly recipients.
The fact of the matter is that Romney has embraced Ryan's plan. According to Romney's own campaign website, his Medicare plan "almost precisely mirrors" Ryan's. Furthermore, Romney has repeatedly praised Ryan's plan, which ends Medicare and hurts the program's elderly recipients.

Asthma - control drugsInhaled corticosteroids; Long-acting beta-agonists; Leukotriene modifiers; Cromolyn
Control drugs for asthma are drugs you take to control your asthma symptoms. You must take them every day for them to work. You and your doctor can make a plan for the drugs that work for you. This plan will include when you should take them. It will also include how much you should take.
You may need to take these drugs for at least a month before you start to feel better.
Take them even when you feel okay. Take enough with you when you travel. Plan ahead. Make sure you do not run out.
Most people with asthma use an inhaler to take their medicines.
What are the main types of inhalers?
Metered-dose inhaler (MDI)
MDI with a spacer
Dry powder inhaler
All of the above
Can children use inhalers?
Which of the following statements about spacers is NOT true?
They come in different shapes and sizes
Spacers help you breathe in your medicine slowly and more completely
You should always use a spacer with a dry powder inhaler
Inhaled steroids are usually the first choice for what type of asthma treatment?
Quick relief
Long-term control
Are inhaled steroids safe for children?
It's a good idea to do this after using your MDI.
Rinse your mouth
Take a nap
Get a new inhaler
Your MDI needs regular cleaning.
Is there a way to know when I'll need to refill my control medicine?
How should I store my MDI?
Keep it in a cold room
Keep it as warm as you can
At room temperature
Inhaled Corticosteroids
Inhaled corticosteroids help keep your airways from swelling up. This helps keep your asthma symptoms away.
Inhaled steroids are used with a metered dose inhaler (MDI) and spacer.
You should use an inhaled steroid every day, even if you do not have symptoms.
After you use it, rinse your mouth with water, gargle, and spit out.
If your child cannot use an inhaler, your doctor will give you a drug to use with a nebulizer. This machine can turn liquid medicine into a spray. This lets your child breathe the medicine in.
Long-acting Beta-agonist Inhalers
These medicines can help keep your asthma symptoms away. They relax the muscles of your airways.
Normally, you use these medicines only when you are using an inhaled steroid drug and you still have symptoms. Do not take these long-acting medicines alone.
Use this medicine every day, even if you do not have symptoms.
Combination Therapy
Your doctor may ask you to take both a steroid drug and a long-acting beta-agonist drug.
It may be easier to use an inhaler that has both drugs in them.
Leukotriene Modifiers
These medicines are used to prevent asthma symptoms. They come in tablet or pill form.
Cromolyn is a medicine that may prevent asthma symptoms. It can be used in a nebulizer, so it may be easy for young children to take. It is also available as an aerosol.

Florida Georgia Line Talk Rihanna & Backstage Rituals at the 2014 iHeartRadio Country Festival
Listen to Florida Georgia Line on iHeartRadio
Florida Georgia Line have already made a hit song with Nelly ... but there's another pop/hip-hop artist they wouldn't mind working with: Rihanna.
They guys have revealed before that they would love to collaborate with Rihanna on "The Boxer Show" ... and since they've been back in the studio, the guys were asked if they got to turn their wish into a reality while at the iHeartRadio Country Festival in Austin, Texas.
"I don't think we've necessarily found a song yet, but if one comes across, [and] we write one that seems like something she may be interested [in], maybe reach out. But we got a little something up our sleeve here coming up, hopefully in the next couple weeks. It's kind of a dream come true."
What could it be?!
The duo also revealed their pre-show ritual before they hit the stage. "We do an 'In with the good, out with the bad,' then a prayer, and then there is usually some Fireball involved with that ritual."
The guys also said they are already working on their next record!
"We're excited, we got a bunch of cool songs we've been writing, and some outside stuff as well. It feels good to get back in the studio, and kind of bring some songs alive."
