Federal Agencies Join on Earth Day to Renew Commitments to the Environment, Childcare
April 22, 1999
Mike Gauldin, Department of the Interior 202/208-6416
April Kaufman, GSA 202/501-1231
Ivonne Cunarro, OPM 202/606-1479
WASHINGTON, DC -- Children of Federal employees helped Administration officials replace a London Plain Sycamore tree on National Park land in the nation's capital today as part of this year's Earth Day activities.
The tree planing ceremony symbolized Federal agencies' commitment to the environment and children. According to GSA Administrator David J. Barram, GSA returns to federal agencies profits from the sales of recycled materials generated by their recycling programs. Many agencies use the recycling proceeds to help families with childcare tuition assistance. Barram said that in fiscal year 1998 alone federal agencies returned nearly $300,000 to directly help families cover childcare costs.
"We are proud to have implemented this fiscally-sensible, community-friendly program that can directly impact so many middle- and lower-income families," Barram said.
The tree planting took place at an interagency Earth Day event hosted by the Department of the Interior, Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), General Services Administration (GSA), Office of Personnel Management (OPM), and the National Park Service in Rawlins Park at 18th and E Streets, NW. The tree was donated by the Department of the Interior's National Park Service.
Federal employees and their children attended the event, which featured exhibits on environmentally oriented products and programs, alternative fuel vehicles, and other activities.
Children from Ross and Stevens Elementary Schools also attended the event. The DC public schools are partnership schools of the Department of the Interior and benefit from some of the recycling programs that Department of the Interior employees participate in, as well as tutoring programs and other employee/student activities.
Additionally, officials from the Department of Transportation and OPM signed a Memorandum of Understanding with GSA that will establish partnerships on GSA's environmental program, Planet GSA. GSA Administrator Barram introduced the program last year on Earth Day, which focuses on four interrelated areas in which GSA has a federal responsibility - "buying green," "building green," "driving green," and "saving green." GSA, the Department of Energy, and EPA signed a similar agreement to work together on Planet GSA in December.
The Department of Transportation is especially proud of its accomplishments in its partnership with GSA on the Drive "Green" initiatives of Planet GSA. The Department of Transportation leases about 7,560 vehicles from GSA. The agency has a total of 505 alternative fuel vehicles and added two electric vehicles to its fleet in fiscal year 1998.
"OPM is happy to join with GSA and the Department of Transportation to reinforce the Clinton Administration's strong commitment to a clean environment," said OPM Deputy Director John Sepulveda. "OPM is adopting a comprehensive program to green the Theodore Roosevelt Building, where we are headquartered in Washington, DC." An environmental coordinator has been named in each office, and OPM is developing a comprehensive action plan to improve and expand waste prevention and recycling programs, implement acquisition planning and environmentally preferable products, develop and promote outreach and training programs, and establish goals for waste prevention, recycling, and affirmative procurement.
Administrator Barram announced fiscal year 1999 goals for Planet GSA, including increasing the total amount recycled and/or diversion rate of office waste in GSA operated buildings to 40%, amending GSA Public Buildings Service documents to require using construction and landscape products and materials with recycled content, acquiring 75% alternative fuel vehicles for GSA activities in selected major metropolitan areas, reducing energy consumption by 18% by the end of fiscal year 1999, and supporting President Clinton's Million Solar Roofs program by constructing 47 solar roof equivalents in fiscal year 1999.
Speakers at the Earth Day event included: David J. Barram, Administrator, GSA; Mortimer L. Downey, Deputy Secretary, Department of Transportation; John Berry, Assistant Secretary, Department of the Interior; Romulo L. Diaz, Jr., Assistant Administrator, EPA; John Sepulveda, Deputy Director, OPM; Fran McPoland, Federal Environmental Executive; and Jackie Robinson, Special Assistant to the Administrator, GSA.
Earlier in the day, GSA honored recipients of the agency's Third Annual Environmental Awards. Winning entries included a program to recycle about 330 tons of office paper collected each year from the White House complex. Due to security requirements, all White House documents are reduced to a cellulose "sand" that renders the fibers too short for traditional recycling into paper. In a unique partnership with Maryland Environmental Service, the material is now being shipped to a composting facility. The disintegrated paper is then combined with leaves and grass and later sold as a high-grade soil supplement product trading under the name of Leafgro. The initiative is a full circle recycling program; Leafgro is being purchased by both the National Park Service for use on White House grounds and the GSA landscape contractors servicing Federal buildings and the White House complex.

The Colours
The white represents the purity of our land base where equality and respect for all life forms exists. The white center of the flag also allows a Band to place their insignia within. The red colour symbolizes our people and signifies the common bond between mankind and all creations by blood. The colour blue symbolizes the universe of which we, as Indigenous Peoples, are a part.
The Arrows
The arrows of the flag represent us, as Indigenous Peoples, determined to seek and achieve more authority through our Indigenous Laws and Governments to govern ourselves. The arrow represents the power within each one of us which must be used to safeguard our homelands and ensure and future for our children.
The number four is a sacred number. It recognizes the four directions, the four divisions of time, the four seasons. The four arrows in the flag represent the four elements of life. (the sun, the water, the land, and the air.)
The Circle
The circle represents the boundaries of our territories. The seasons move in circles and our dances are reflected by a circular shape and follow the path of the sun. We continue to represent ourselves with the circle and practice our ways, so the sacred circle heals and the people will become whole again, building up their Indigenous Laws and Governments.

Samsung Galaxy S III 4G Android Phone, Blue 16GB (AT&T)

Recent User Reviews
"Excellent phone, some pretty bad cons though"
- 4.0/5,
Pros - excellent screen display, perfect for multi-tasking, great processor speeds
Cons - Cheap battery & dies to quick, can't send video & music via MMS
I love my Samsung Galaxy S3! When I first got it fresh out the box from AT&T I couldn't stop playing with it! After about a week after I purchased it I noticed the battery life sucks! I listen to music on it for maybe 2 hours a day & play games for also 2 hours a day, along with my texting (maybe 20-30 text a day) & calls (around 1-1&half hours a day) I would wake up at 6:30am with a full battery & around 2-3pm my phone would beep letting me know there's only 15% battery life. I charged it back up & it would be back at 15% by7-8pm, so I looked on Amazon for a new battery, I have an Otter Box for my phone, which are excellent by the way (never have to worry about scratching or break your phone, NEVER! ) so i looked a& there's not a lot of choice's on standard battery, there's a good selection of extended batteries with back covers included but my Otter Box wouldn't fit so I was stuck getting a standard battery. I came across the only extended standard battery out right now, it has 2850mah, so I ordered it. When it came I was sceptical because there was no name brand, just a gold wrapping with 2850mah on it. I replaced my old battery with the new one & it came half charged which was a plus! With my new battery I can get up at 6:30am & won't hear my phone beep until 6-7pm! The battery is excellent for the Galaxy S3 also works with the Galaxy S2! A big problem I incountered was sending MMS' s, I can't send videos or music to anyone! Which sucks! BIG TIME! I tried everything possible to fix this problem, I even tried send a 3 second video STILL DON'T WORK! There's apps that will fix it, for a price of course! Other then the standard battery sucking and not being able to send videos & music via MMS, it a dam good phone, love the screen display & being able to multi-task, I can listen to music all while browsing the internet even with 3-5 pages going and its still super fast, doesn't slow down, freeze or piss you off, LOL. Over all I'd have to say the Samsung Galaxy S3 is a excellent phone & best phone for it's era! It's also better then the I-Phone 5 (To me anyway)

WATCH: Shakira releases 'La La La' video featuring Gerard Pique & son Milan
Listen to Shakira on iHeartRadio
Shakira has enlisted her two favorite soccer stars for her new video for "La La La." It's the track she recorded in celebration of the World Cup coming to Brazil. Her boyfriend Spanish soccer pro Gerard Pique and their young son Milan are both featured in the clip.
The song is a collaboration between Shakira, the World Food Programme and Activia in support of their joint program to provide school meals to needy children around the world.
In the video, the Colombian superstar is shown dancing in the sand alongside some wild animals, as Gerard belts out her tune with some other soccer stars. Sixteen-month-old Milan is seen standing beside his mother and kicking a soccer ball in the direction of a sitting elephant.
The video arrives weeks ahead of the World Cup in Rio starting on June 12th.

As you know, we, the Sharpie folk, have been kicking off our new Start with Sharpie campaign and we have seen some amazing things rolling in from our biggest Sharpie enthusiasts– including our own fabulous Newell employees.
We challenged our amazing Newell family to share what they are starting with Sharpie and now we are taking the opportunity to feature one of these internal Sharpie rock stars and what they (or in this case their daughter) has started with Sharpie.
Myra Lee, Director of Marketing Communications for sister brand, LENOX Industrial Products & Services in East Longmeadow, Massachusetts, submitted this adorable photo of her 11-year-old daughter, Paige, who took creative liberties when writing her name on her new bag with Sharpie markers.
It's amazing how something as simple as labeling your stuff can turn into an outlet for self-expression!
Now that you have seen what some of us are starting with Sharpie…what are you gonna start?

Kenya Moore flaunts new romance on social media
It's always hard to tell whether or not Kenya Moore is telling the truth or pulling a publicity stunt, but it seems the beauty queen may have finally found love.
"The Real Housewives of Atlanta" star posted some snapshots on social media that suggest she's crazy in love with a mystery man.
Of course, she didn't share her new man's name, but he did gush about their special time together in the posts.
"That moment when you think about closing your eyes or getting hot grits… #tobeinlove #tobesafe #toletyourguarddown #toforgive #toloveunconditionally #topickyourbattles #tobeprotected #toletshitgo #tofightfair #tobecommitted," she wrote along with the first picture," she wrote.
"Love is a choice, to trust is a choice. You choose your fate. You can't let other people and the past dictate how you treat others. #timetoheal."
She posted another snapshot of her man checking out her website.
"LOL I'm his motivation #obsessed have a blessed day #behappy #stophating #myfamily note to all the haters: I'm unbothered find someone else to hate stalk."
Let's hope this isn't the married man she's rumored to be dating!

On the Shelf
The Open Book Book, and Other NewsBy Dan Piepenbring
- James Wolcott on the scourge of nineties nostalgia: "Mostly a white people's pastime, nostalgia used to be a pining for an idealized yesteryear, for a prelapsarian world tinted in sepia … the Internet and cable TV have colonized the hive mind and set up carnival pavilions. Now every delight is obtainable and on display at an arcade that never closes … This anxious, ravenous speedup of nostalgia—getting wistful over goodies that never went away—is more than a reflection of the overall acceleration of digital culture, a pathetic sign of our determination to dote on every last shiny souvenir of our prolonged adolescence, and an indictment of our gutless refusal to face the rotten future like Stoic philosophers."
- With the Open Book project, two professors held "experimental book workshops … to help define what the classic book—and the new book—could be." Now there's the Open Book book, "an amalgam of essays on and artwork made from books. 'Not all of these books are made from and with paper-based books … We purposely sought book-like work for the Open Book exhibition that transcended paper media.'"
- What does a minute feel like? Sixty seconds. What does sixty seconds feel like? A minute. "I was a lab rat in a performance-art piece on the High Line. The artist, an Argentinian named David Lamelas, arranged forty-odd people—friends, tourists, commuters, passersby—shoulder to shoulder, like an extra-long police lineup. 'The time is now six-thirty-five,' he announced, looking at his phone. Starting at one end of the queue, we were each supposed to wait for what we estimated to be one minute and then call out the time."
- In the UK, a new edition of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory has a remarkably creepy cover. "It features a cover photograph of a young girl in make-up and marabou feathers, perched on her mother's knee with the blank-eyed expression of a doll."
- Eighteen months ago, Steven Soderbergh retired from filmmaking. Now he's made The Knick, a grisly TV drama series about a hospital in the earliest days of the twentieth century: It's "a gritty glimpse of Gilded Age New York … The first ten minutes of the premiere are among the most gruesome I've seen this year, as [the doctors] attempt an emergency C-section on a woman with placenta previa, an operation they have already failed at twelve times before."

In the year 79 A.D. a mountain named Vesuvius, in southwestern Italy, literally blew its top, burying the Roman cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum. At the time of the eruption, Pompeii was a thriving commercial port at the mouth of the Sarno River. It was a destination for wealthy Roman citizens who often vacationed there, being a city of considerable size with numerous attractions such as its own amphitheater, complete with gladiatorial school.

This didnt really belong in the Experts forum, so I moved it here.
I have a feeling you may be using the wrong Linux distribution. Playing games was not what BackTrack was designed for.
And out of a perverse sense of curiosity I just tried installing pokerth (Texas Holdem - my chosen form of poker) and kpoker-kde3 on BackTrack 4 Final and both work fine. Try one of those, or maybe try a distribution more suited to general use/game playing like Ubuntu.

Well, I guess we don't need a hospital. Noel Desmond says so.
You know what, I am so tired of going to Gainesville for a chest X-ray or a lot of things we could get right here. It costs me $30 for gas. And it's a $35 co-pay from my insurance, plus lunch for my daughter, who has to take me on her day off. It's the same mileage to Crystal River or Williston.

BEWARE OF federal dollars that come with strings attached. They can get expensive. And bind.
That seems to be the message from some local school officials, who publicly fretted last week about a new, merit-based pay plan for teachers in the Savannah-Chatham County public school system that will be implemented next year.
See Also
Three years ago, the district agreed to be one of 26 school districts across Georgia that would be part of President Obama's Race to the Top school improvement effort. Then-Gov. Sonny Perdue applauded Georgia's selection as one of eight states that made the president's cut, in part because it meant Georgia would get an additional $400 million over four years from the feds. Several school superintendents practically did cartwheels as well.
In theory, Race to the Top is designed to encourage states to become more creative in improving their public schools. But in practice, it has created a mess, at least in Georgia.
Just before the start of the current school year, the federal Department of Education threatened to withhold nearly $10 million earmarked for Georgia because of problems the state had been having over its teacher-evaluation plans. That move was unprecedented.
John Barge, Georgia's superintendent of schools, explained over the summer that the state needed another year to come up with a plan, citing negative feedback from educators across the state.
It's unclear if Thomas Lockamy, superintendent of Savannah-Chatham County schools, had been whispering into Mr. Barge's ear at that time. However, judging from his comments last week, he's no fan of what the Obama administration is pushing. That's disturbing, given what he and the school board are trying to accomplish here.
"I see a lot of troubled waters ahead of us," Dr. Lockamy said. "There are a lot of issues that are yet to be resolved at the state level and local level."
A huge concern is creating incentives that could be counter-productive. For example, some teachers will be evaluated and paid based on how their students do on standardized tests. Those who teach subjects not covered on tests will be evaluated based on student outcomes, which is more subjective.
The fear is that this change could trigger a mad dash of teachers scrambling for jobs that promise the biggest paychecks. Let's hope that's not the case. The best teachers don't enter this profession to get rich.
Still, teachers have bills to pay, too. It would be a shame to see good teachers leave positions where they are most needed and make the biggest difference. That's not how education reform is supposed to work.
That doesn't mean that merit pay is a dirty word. All workers should be compensated according to their performance, not simply for showing up for work.
But, as is often the case with many changes, the devil is in the details — which apparently are being worked out in Atlanta.
Let's hope the strings that came with the $400 million from Washington don't end up choking Savannah-Chatham's public schools.

Amanda - from Shelbyville, KY
Buttercream icing is made with either a combination of butter and vegetable shortening or shortening alone, and confectioners' sugar. It stays soft and creamy, so it is used to ice cakes. It is also used for making cake decorations and borders. It can be flavored with extracts and other flavorings, too.
Royal icing is made with a combination of meringue powder, water and confectioners' sugar. This smooth, hard-drying icing is perfect for making decorations that last. It is also useful as a "cement" to fasten decorations together. Royal icing is edible, but it is hard and candy-like when dried. It should not be used for icing cakes.

US Tells Americans to Get Out of Yemen
(NEWSER) – American concern about the threat of an al-Qaeda attack is only intensifying. The State Department today ordered all non-essential government employees to leave Yemen, and it urged all American citizens there to do the same, reports Reuters. The development comes after news reports revealed that one of the key pieces of intelligence prompting all this concern were intercepted messages between al-Qaeda chief Ayman al-Zawahri and the leader of Yemen affiliate al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, Nasser al-Wuhayshi. Other developments:
- Drone strike: A suspected American drone strike killed four members of al-Qaeda traveling in a car in central Yemen overnight, reports the BBC.

text: Sarah Hyland is in Australia with the much of the cast of Modern Family for some episodes to be filmed there. While at a party to celebrate the filming Sarah Hyland was groped by a fan (pointing at him in the above photo) who was arrested. The incident happened just outside as Sarah was making her way into the venue. She Tweeted that she was inappropriately touched. What happened was a fan asked her for a photo and when she stood next to him he grabbed her breast. Sarah screamed at him and security stepped in and held the man until police arrived. Police arrested the man and are investigating the 29 year old man for indecent assault. It sucks that the guy was an a-hole because red carpet lines are about the only time you are ever going to see a celebrity and get to take your photo with them. Now that a fan got out of line what are the chances Sarah does any red carpet interaction again. Maybe it makes others less willing to do it in the future too.

Reading Level: Grades 5 - 8
Truth can be much stranger than fiction and fiction based on truth can make a great story. Inspired by the life of Ivan Mishukov, Ivan Andreovich is a five-year-old boy who was orphaned in post-Soviet Russia, left on the streets to fend for himself, and adopted by a pack of wild dogs.
Life for street children is a battle to survive. Hunger, cold, roving gangs of both adults and older children make survival tenuous. Ivan finds his place with a family of dogs. Ivan and the dogs share what food they have and provide warmth and protection for each other. But more than that, the dogs love Ivan as he loves them. Ivan becomes more and more like his dog family. While humans can be uncaring or cruel, it is the dogs who show the most "humanity."
Ultimately, Ivan Andreovich , like the real Ivan, is rescued.

Highest Rate of Internships in the Nation
Clarkson's commitment to real-world education translates into graduates prepared for real-world challenges.
It also means a commitment to providing professional experiences for our students — through coops, internships, design & build teams and faculty-mentored research. That means students can apply classroom learning to hands-on challenges, test drive careers and companies, and develop professional networks — all before they leave campus.
It is also why Clarkson is ranked #1 in the nation for internship experience by U.S. News and World Report 2013.
Eighty-six percent of Clarkson students complete internships and co-ops before graduating. That's more than double the internship rate of other national universities (30 percent).
These professional experiences are a step on the pathway to launching a successful career, making Clarkson's number-1 ranking more than a statistic. It is an achievement that has helped the University post another impressive number: a 95 percent placement rate.
Clarkson's Career Center stays on top of developing career trends and emerging fields, and works with each student to find the professional experience that fits best.
But it is our students who deserve the credit for making Clarkson the national leader in professional experiences. Their outstanding on-the-job performance has built Clarkson's reputation with industry leaders and employers. Meet some of these students:
Ellen Heenan '13
|George Calvey '13
Mechanical Engineering and Physics
George had three internships, all with General Electric. Most recently, he worked with CT detectors—the sensors that help create x-ray imagery used by medical staff to help diagnose and treat patients. He says he worked on a prototype detector and helped integrate data from a few design teams and even smoothed out a few kinks in the production process.

Ringo Starr joins Paul McCartney for Grammy performance
[PHOTOS: Best and Worst Dressed on the Red Carpet]
Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr are back together -- for a song. Despite earlier denials, the two surviving Beatles did share the stage at Sunday's Grammy Awards ceremony on CBS.
[PHOTOS: 2014 Grammy Awards Highlights]
But they didn't play a Beatles song. Ringo was behind the drum kit for McCartney's performance of his new song "Queenie Eye."
Ringo also performed on his own. He delivered a rendition of "Photograph" as he made his Grammy Awards performance debut, after Black Sabbath stumbled through their introduction. The Beatles also received numerous references and honors throughout the night, even when McCartney took the stage with Dave Grohl, Krist Novoselic and Pat Smear to accept an award for their collaboration "Cut Me Some Slack."

McCartney also got the nod for Best Music Film for his Live Kisses. McCartney and Starr are slated to team up again for the upcoming special The Night That Changed America: A Grammy Salute To The Beatles, which will air on CBS on February 9th.
The 56th annual Grammy Awards were presented in a ceremony in Los Angeles, and aired on CBS Sunday night.

Former USC president pledges $1 million gift for Bernardin chair, gardens
By Jeff Stensland, firstname.lastname@example.com, 803-777-3686 Former USC President John M. Palms and his wife Norma pledged a $1 million gift to the University of South Carolina, with more than half going to the Joseph Cardinal Bernardin Chair in Ethical, Moral and Religious Studies. The donation also will help fund a refurbishing of the gardens adjoining the president's house on the Horseshoe.
Palms, who served as USC's president from 1991-2002, announced the donation Friday during a ceremony renaming the Graduate Research Science Center in his honor. He said Bernardin played an important role in his personal and spiritual life. "He was an extraordinary man who meant a lot me through the years," Palms said.
Palms first met Bernardin while he was a student at The Citadel and Bernardin was with the Diocese of Charleston. The two stayed in touch and Bernardin later counseled Palms before his marriage, baptized one of his children and even consulted with Palms, a nuclear physicist, on the issue of nuclear deterrence.
Bernardin was born in Columbia and attended USC. He later became a prominent leader in the Roman Catholic Church and served as Archbishop of Chicago from 1982 until his death in 1996. He was an advocate for service, social concern and education. USC's College of Arts and Sciences established a lecture series in his name in 1999.
During their 11 years at USC, the Palms' were known to entertain in the gardens behind the president's house and hosted functions for students, faculty and visiting dignitaries. Palms said the portion going to refurbish and maintain the gardens could total $400,000.

text: XX/XY opens with just the kind of primal sexual scene its title suggests. On a New York subway, a man (Mark Ruffalo) and a woman (Maya Stange) spot each other, as the film freeze-frames over telling, split-second glances of mutual interest. Later, when they meet unexpectedly at a party, a more direct flirtation seems destined to take them to the bedroom. Then the environment, a drunken party at Sarah Lawrence College in 1993, takes over where biology leaves off. Casting dating tradition aside, Stange suggests that her friend Kathleen Robertson be a part of what follows, but the unsatisfactory outcome of the proceedings reveals that Stange is motivated more by playfulness and the permissiveness around her than by deep-seated desire. While the trio never quite produces the dizzying peaks it might have anticipated, what follows is less predictable still. Stange and Ruffalo pair up, but they keep Robertson circling around, almost as if their thwarted threesome has been redirected into the kind of drawn-out drama of friendship and passion that only really makes sense until the world's demands kick in. First-time writer-director Austin Chick even uses the kind of falling-in-love montage usually reserved for giddy couples, but elsewhere, he keeps the direction low-key, providing just enough dialogue to get the job done, and letting the situation's joy and hurt speak for themselves. The hurt quickly overwhelms the joy, and later casts a shadow over XX/XY's talkier second half, which takes place in the present day, when all three players unexpectedly reunite. The 10-year bracket has convention going for it, but the film suggests other motives. Wearing a Dennis Miller smirk and facial hair that might have been grown simply out of whimsy, and unable to answer a question without sarcasm or misdirection, Ruffalo's character may be the first unflattering look back at Generation X; his inability to decide what he wants takes its toll on those around him, then on himself. Though initially off-putting, Chick's distanced direction pays off as XX/XY goes along. The first act's Bret Easton Ellis-lite indulgences give way to a second act in which words take the place of actions, but do little to dull the ache of unrequited desire, lost opportunities, and thoughtless indulgence. XX/XY features a grim moralism that its flashes of humor only underscore, but the cast and characters invest Chick's tug of truth and consequences with the authenticity of an accidentally observed moment. Chick opens on a world with no strings attached, then pulls back to show that the strings stretch to infinity.

GSA Names Smith to Head New England Region
September 24, 2001
Contact: Deborah K. Ruiz, (202) 501-1231
WASHINGTON, DC - Administrator Stephen A. Perry of the U.S. General Services Administration today announced his selection of Massachusetts native Dennis R. Smith as the Regional Administrator for GSA's New England Region. His new position becomes effective September 24, 2001.
"We are truly fortunate to have the opportunity to appoint Dennis to this post," Mr. Perry said. "His extensive experience in local, state and federal government, topped off by his most recent post overseeing Massachusetts' state buildings, makes him a perfect choice to lead GSA's New England regional office."
Mr. Smith has experience in local, state, and federal government, having served as a teacher and selectman in Middleboro, Mass. He worked for former state senator Ned Kirby and, most recently, served the Weld-Cellucci-Swift administrations as Superintendent of the Bureau of State Buildings, a position he's held since 1993. He was appointed to the U.S. Metric Board during the Carter administration and also served as director of the Boston Regional office for the U.S. Department of Education during former President Bush's administration.
"I am honored to have been selected by Administrator Perry to head Region 1 and am eager to begin work to achieve his goals. Working with the excellent team already in place, I plan to focus on how we accomplish our core mission and ensure that associates are results-orientated and continually look for opportunities to improve service," Mr. Smith said.
"As a former GSA customer, from 1989-93, I know how committed Boston GSA is to serving its client agencies. I look forward to leading the Boston team as it continues to strive to accomplish the GSA mission in the most efficient and effective manner. My goal is to have the Boston office known to all as the best in the nation," Mr. Smith said.
Headquartered in Boston, Mass., the New England Region has a real estate portfolio that includes 89 government-owned buildings and leased space in 248 commercial buildings as well as 25 border station facilities, and 19 U.S. postal facilities. As the Regional Administrator, Mr. Smith will direct a GSA workforce of approximately 288 associates in Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, Vermont, Maine, and New Hampshire and oversee an annual operating budget of about $183 million.
Mr. Smith holds an undergraduate degree in education from University of Massachusetts-Lowell and a graduate degree in secondary education from Suffolk University in Boston. Mr. Smith is currently active in Plymouth, Mass., where he resides with his wife, June, as a member of the Plymouth Antiquarian Society, the Plymouth Republican Town Committee, and Christ Episcopal Church. He has three adult children.
GSA is a centralized federal procurement and property management agency created by Congress to improve government efficiency and help federal agencies better serve the public. It acquires, on behalf of federal agencies, office space, equipment, telecommunications, information technology, supplies and services. GSA, comprised of 14,000 associates, provides services and solutions for the office operations of over 1 million federal workers located in 8,300 government -owned and leased buildings in 1,600 U.S. communities.

Andrew Malcolm keeps it classy
Blog ››› ››› JAMISON FOSER
Los Angeles Times reporter/former Bush flak Andrew Malcolm continues his sneering treatment of the Obama administration with his first mention of President Obama in today's post:
The notorious and formerly funny movie director Woody Allen is apparently frustrated with the cumbersome operations of American democracy too.
The one-time-father-now-husband-of-his-daughter tells the Spanish-language magazine La Vanguardia that the United States' Democratic Smoker-in-Chief could accomplish a whole lot more from his White House if he didn't have so many disorderly, annoying people objecting, distracting and criticizing him all the time.
Malcolm's post, it should be noted, had absolutely nothing to do with smoking.
It's one thing to criticize the president or his administration for the things they do and say; that's obviously fair game. But Malcolm's treatment of Obama and, particularly, Vice President BIden is nothing more than childish name-calling, completely lacking in substance or reason. The only thing more odd than the LA Times' sanctioning this petty little sniping would be if any of Malcolm's readers find his tedious taunts amusing.
(Oh, also: Woody Allen was never the father of his current wife. That's just a lie.)

The City of Lafayette contracts with VDCI to conduct surveillance of adult mosquito populations and to provide limited adult mosquito control when predetermined disease and annoyance levels have been surpassed. The goal is to provide the greatest level of control of pest and disease vector mosquito populations while maintaining a balanced use of cultural, biological, and least-toxic chemical procedures that are environmentally compatible and economically feasible.
Culex mosquitoes increase in number as temperatures rise. Human infection of West Nile Virus (WNV) can occur without symptoms. It can also cause mild to sever illness including fever, extreme fatigue, as well as head and body aches. In extreme cases WNV may result in chronic disability, tremors, vision loss, paralysis or even result in death.
Boulder County Public Health and City of Lafayette officials urge residents to remember the 4Ds:1. Use DEET-enhanced insect repellent2. DRESS in long sleeves and pants.3. Avoid the outdoors from DUSK to DAWN4. DRAIN standing water outside your home

Dash Cluster question
I think I have a unique question that I havent been able to find anything on so far. I had to replace my dash cluster on my 97 528i why you ask, in Virginia to get a state inspection all accessory lights especially airbag light must come on and go off well mine wouldnt come on at all so believe it or not my car fell inspection. I took out the cluster to see if it was a burned out bulb long story short I dropped it and damaged the gas empty/full gauge so I decided I needed to buy another one. I purchased one from ebay with close to the mileage I currently have maybe 7k difference. When I installed it all of the accessory lights lit up and would not go off some lights I didnt even knew existed. But the airbag light did light up on this one but also stayed on like the rest even the temperature gauge go right into the red when all the lights come on and stay there. So this is were my problem is getting the lights to reset. Ive own this car for 5 years and have never had but my service light come on so Im wondering why would all of them come on now are they stored up codes from my car or was something that happen because this cluster is from a different car and could have it been stored in memory from other car it came from. The accesory yard I bought it from sent along with the cluster the LCM which I had to read up on. I didnt change that only the cluster so if someone could give me some direction what I need to do the knowledge would be greatly appreciated.

2016 BMW 6 Series Review
A key player in the luxury midsize sport market, BMW's 2016 6 Series returns as a 2-door Coupe or Convertible or a 4-door Gran Coupe. According to most reviewers, current 6 Series trims are not as nimble or as roomy as the folks at BMW would like you to believe. But that should change, thanks to a number of handling and performance upgrades anticipated for 2016.
The 6 Series comes in two trims, the 640i and 650i. Both versions feature standard rear-wheel drive (RWD), while available 640i X and 650i X variations offer full-time intelligent all-wheel drive (AWD). Both the current 6 Series Coupe and its Grand Coupe stablemate offer 13.0 cubic feet of trunk space; 6 Series Convertibles boast a surprisingly roomy 12.3 cubic feet of trunk capacity with the top up and 10.6 cubic feet when the top is down and stowed in its storage compartment. Changes to the 2016 6 Series include a serious drop in curb weight (about 500 pounds), achieved as a result of added carbon fiber trim pieces and large amounts of aluminum, titanium, and magnesium incorporated into the frame and body components. Less overhang beyond the front and rear axles trims weight as well, and brings greater nimbleness and fuel efficiency. A wider stance should also bolster the 6 Series' agility over rough roads and through hairpin turns. The 6 Series 4-door Gran Coupe is slated to become a few inches longer than the current version's 197.1-inch overall length. Hopefully, this will afford rear-seat occupants a tad more legroom. It's also a rumored that all 6 series variants will feature a more aerodynamic profile, part of BMW's ongoing efforts to match Porsche's legendary 911. Perhaps the most intriguing 2016 upgrade, however, is an anticipated boost in engine power. The 640i and 640i X are expected to pack a 3.0-liter turbocharged inline 6-cylinder (I6) powerplant that puts out 35 ponies over the current version's 315 hp. Look for an 8-speed shiftable automatic transmission with standard paddle shifters and launch control. The 650i and 650i X are again expected to pack a 4.4-liter turbocharged V8, which, for the 2016 model year, is slated to boast an extra 30 hp over the current version's 445 hp. The 8-speed shiftable automatic will come standard here as well. Torque figures and mileage estimates for 2016 are unavailable as of this writing; torque is expected to jump at least marginally, and fuel economy should see more significant improvement due to the anticipated weight loss and profile enhancements. The 2016 6 Series lineup will doubtless include all the usual luxury features, such as alloy wheels, a sport-tuned exhaust, leather upholstery, heated power-adjustable front seats, memory for driver settings, dual-zone automatic climate control, cruise control, telescoping tilt-wheel steering, and genuine interior wood trim. The Coupe and Gran Coupe trim levels are slated to return with a standard power sunroof, while the Convertible will again sport an individually heated glass rear window. It's also been hinted that the 6 Series could receive some brand-new ConnectedDrive-bundled electronic features, including a 3D surround camera system and a remote control parking feature. Other (returning) technology includes BMW Online WiFi capability, Bluetooth-interfaced smartphone apps, a 10.2-inch infotainment display, GPS navigation, and, in the 640i editions, a CD/MP3 player with 9 speakers, satellite radio, HD Radio, and an auxiliary audio input. The 650i adds a 16-speaker Harman Kardon premium sound system, upgraded leather upholstery, and additional power accessories. Optional equipment for the 2016 6 Series lineup is slated to include a number of packages with features like upgraded and upsized wheels, a heated sport steering wheel, variable-ratio steering, and a super-premium 16-speaker Bang & Olufsen audio system. Standard safety equipment aboard all 2016 6 Series trims includes 4-wheel antilock brakes (ABS), traction and stability control, front side-mounted airbags with head-protection chambers, rear head curtain airbags, daytime running lights, front fog/driving lights, turn-signal-integrated mirrors, and adaptive headlights. BMW's Remote Services emergency telematics will also return, along with pre- and post-collision safety systems. The Convertible will feature a rollover-sensing pop-up roll bar. Optional safety equipment includes adaptive cruise control, forward collision-mitigation braking, a blind-spot monitor, and lane-departure warnings, all of which come with the Driver Assistance Plus package.
The 6-series is BMW's most exclusive offering, embodying the spirit of elegant grand touring in a most modern fashion. As a coupe or convertible, the 6-series is available with either a 315-hp 3.0-liter inline-six (640i) or 445-hp 4.4-liter V-8 (650i); both engines mate to an eight-speed automatic. Rear-wheel drive is standard, while all-wheel drive is available for all-weather ability. There is also an M Sport package with even more upscale interior and exterior accents for extra bling.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- A union asked Ohio and federal labor officials on Wednesday to investigate whether a company violated federal wage and hour laws when it shuttered its coal mine to host a campaign event for Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney.
Murray Energy Corp. said it closed its mine in eastern Ohio for one shift during the Aug. 14 event to ensure the site's security. Coal workers were not paid while the Century Mine in Beallsville was closed.
A Secret Service spokesman on Wednesday said it did not request the mine's closure during Romney's visit.
Service Employees International Union, District 1199, has taken issue comments the company's chief financial officer made to a West Virginia radio station following the campaign event.
Robert Moore, who also is the company's executive vice president, told WWVA in a recent interview that managers "communicated to our workforce that the attendance at the Romney event was mandatory but no one was forced to attend the event."
The station asked Moore why the company didn't pay the coal workers.
"As a private employer, it was our decision," Moore said. "And we made the decision not to pay the people for the day."
Moore said repeatedly in the interview that workers weren't required to go to the political rally, which the Pepper Pike-based company emphasized in a written statement on Wednesday.
"All participation was, and always has been, completely voluntary," the statement said. "Additionally, we do not pay employees who voluntarily attend political events."
The company did not respond to email requests seeking additional information, including the number of employees affected by the closure and the hours the mine was closed.

I like seeing people who've obviously had maybe one or two classes try and show submissions on girls to impress them. They obviously do it wrong, but with girls you basically just have to squeeze anything hard enough and it makes them cry.
When the only tool you have is a hammer, every problem begins to resemble a nail.
I'm a teacher and I do a grappling class after school for a few of the kids, one of them who does some stupid kung fu told me he thinks Bruce lee would beat CroCop in a fight!
He's come out with other assorted noncence too.
Hahaha I've had that!
Sorry, in reply to mr mcveigh!
if you think its easy stop now
no one achieved anything by doing nothing
never argue with a fool
if fighting is a pursuit rooted in pain, you will find the best teachers have often absorbed the most punishment themselves......and remained standing
A kid turned up for his first class with "Cage Fighter" tattoo'd on his forearm and "MMA" tattoo'd on his neck. he'd never trained before!
Has since moved to another local club because his mum said I was too strict with him (He's 18). He has also got the same tattoo as Brock Lesnar on his back.
I kinda miss the mongo.

Be available to others, willing to share personal
insights and counsel. In these settings, certain conversations may affect
and even alter others' lives and choices in remarkable, unimaginable ways.
That was the overarching theme of an inaugural address by Loren E.
Swartzendruber on Saturday, Mar. 27, at Eastern Mennonite University.
Dr. Swartzendruber was officially installed as EMU president during
ceremonies held in the spacious University Commons and attended by some
900 people. Rosalind Andreas, chair of Mennonite Education Agency (MEA),
and Sheryl K. Wyse, chair of the EMU board of trustees, led the
investiture charge.
As part of the installation, Andreas and Wyse gave Swartzendruber a
presidential medallion and a stole designed from fabric from around the
world - symbolizing EMU welcoming students from all lands and cultures.
The garment fashioned by Barbara Fast of EMU's art faculty and local
costume designer Judy Bomberger.
Swartzendruber took office as EMU's eighth president on Jan. 1, 2004,
succeeding Joseph L. Lapp, who served from 1987 to 2003.
The celebrative program included greetings from EMU faculty and a student,
a litany written by Dr. Jay B. Landis, professor of English, and the
singing of the university hymn, "Christ of the Mountain," written by poet
Jean Janzen of Fresno, Calif., to music composed by Shirley Bustos of
Valparaiso, Ind.
In his address, Swartzendruber cited a report that "fully half of what a
college student learns during his or her four years of study is learned
outside the classroom." The point, he said, is that "students learn a
great deal from their interactions with professors 'over coffee' outside
the classroom. They also learn from their conversations with each other,
in the cafeteria and in residence halls.
"Even a cursory understanding of our culture reminds us that learning to
state oneÇs opinion succinctly, practicing good listening skills, engaging
others in debate, all with civility, is a skill desperately needed," the
president declared. "I call these 'sacred conversations.'
"I invite us to reflect on the sacred conversations of our lives and to
invest time in such activities, knowing that a conversation which is truly
profound and sacred may not be revealed as such until many years later,"
Swartzendruber told the audience.
"We cannot 'plan' for sacred conversations; we can only live in the
moment, understanding that every interaction between professor and
student, between co-workers in the office, between mentor and mentee,
between parent and young adult, inhabits sacred space."
Several weeks earlier, Swartzendruber had invited faculty and staff to
contribute stories that illustrated a sacred conversation that shaped
their lives in some way.
One current faculty member remembered a comment by Dr. G. Irvin Lehman,
retired professor of Old Testament, in a seminary class. Dr. Lehman
suddenly paused in the middle of class, a common habit of his, and said,
"He who throws mud, loses ground."
"It wasn't so much 'conversation' as it was a nugget of truth, putting
into just a few words a wise expression that stayed with that student
through years of service as a church leader," the president noted.
Another current faculty member reflected on a conversation in a parking
lot outside the classroom with a Greek professor following a field trip to
the deep recesses of an archival library. Her professor said, "Some day I
see you teaching New Testament Greek," and that became "sacred" years
later when it became a reality.
Swartzendruber recounted a sacred conversation he had in the fall of 1972
after a pastor in the Evangelical Free Church tradition had shared many
times with him about leaving pharmacy school to prepare for pastoral
"After several months of reading more theology and church history, I
realized that for the first time in my intellectual life I had found a
passion," Swartzendruber said. "But now I had a dilemma – to follow the
path of some mentors to the Evangelical Free seminary or to return to the
church of my roots."
Swartzendruber talked with Edward B. Stoltzfus, then pastor of First
Mennonite Church in Iowa City, Iowa.
"I have a vivid memory of being in his office; he reached over to his
massive set of books - which in itself impressed me - pulled off a small
monograph, 'The Recovery of the Anabaptist Vision,' gave it to me and said
something like, 'I think you and your wife Pat should read this before you
make a decision concerning which seminary to attend.'"
Swartzendruber graduated from Eastern Mennonite Seminary in 1979 with a
master of divinity degree. He went on to pastor Salford Mennonite Church,
before taking a position as associate secretary with the former Mennonite
Board of Education. He then became president of Hesston College, a
two-year sister Mennonite school in Hesston, Kan., where he served 10
"Not only did those sacred conversations profoundly shape the direction of
my life vocationally, they often come to mind when I am given the
opportunity to converse with students or fellow faculty and staff," the
president said. "An invitation to meet with a student or a group of
students can hardly be refused if one believes there is always the
potential for a conversation that helps to clarify direction, to provide
encouragement, to offer a listening ear.
"Eastern Mennonite University has been and will be a location for many
sacred conversations," Swartzendruber said. "Because every graduate of
this institution has one or more stories to tell, we are establishing a
location on our web site for those stories to be shared more broadly.
"We who are privileged to serve at EMU on behalf of the Mennonite Church
do so with a keen awareness that this is a sacred and awesome
responsibility," he said. "We are called to serve faithfully, with joy and
in partnership with parents, congregations, and the larger community. We
invite your prayers, your support, your wisdom, and your advocacy as we
continue our journey together."
As symbols of their support, Myron S. Augsburger, president of EMU from
1965 to 1980, gave Swartzendruber a sculpture of Menno Simons, for whom
the Mennonite Church is named, made by his artist-spouse Esther K.
Augsburger. Joseph L. Lapp, EMU president from 1987 to 2003, gave the new
president a framed set of coins and currency, and Beryl H. Brubaker,
interim president in 2003, presented Swartzendruber with an art piece
created by Barbara Fast, associate professor of art at EMU.
A week packed with public events surrounding the inauguration included an
evening of improvisational comedy by "CPR," an EMU orchestra concert and
an inaugural concert with the EMU Chamber Singers and Bach Festival
Orchestra and guest soloists including baritone Tony Brown of Hesston
College and a "Twilight on the Plaza" international fair. A golf
tournament sought to raise money for the Loren and Pat Swartzendruber
student scholarship fund.
Freeman J. Miller, a bishop/overseer of Mennonite congregations in
Philadelphia, Pa., and 1975 Eastern Mennonite Seminary graduate, spoke at
an inaugural worship service Sunday, Mar. 28. Miller focused on "Kingdom
Priorities in Higher Education," declaring that "the pearl of great price,
the gospel of Jesus Christ, must be at the heart of all that is said and
done at EMU, bringing our lives into the purposes of God in the World."

Harun Yahya's Atlas of Creation, which has provoked an enormous response from all over the world, was the subject of a report in the June 2007 issue of Antiquity, a widely known archaeological journal, which enjoys a wide scholarly and academic readership. Martin Carver, the editor of Antiquity, which is printed in Britain and has subscribers all over the world and is also found in numerous university libraries, says in his editorial:
And in November 2006 the creationist cause acquired a new ally when the Turkish Muslim intellectual Harun Yahya launched his Atlas de la Création. This 770 page lavishly illustrated tome (promised as the first of seven) used 'living fossils' to prove that God directly created the world with all its species and blamed Darwin for everything from Nazism to terrorism. In February this year ... copies of the Atlas were mailed to thousands of French schools.
Yahya has a gratifyingly post-modern view of archaeology; it shows that nothing much has changed and life on the Savannah was ... similar to everywhere else today.
The way that evolutionist scientists have been unable to respond to the Atlas of Creation, which has come as an earthquake in Europe especially since 2007, leaves them in a helpless and despairing position. Carver notes this state of affairs in his editorial, and continues with a passage taken from Harun Yahya's book A Historical Lie: the Stone Age:
2008-10-02 00:36:00
"In the supposed period described by evolutionists as the Stone Age, people worshipped, listened to the message preached by the envoys sent to them, constructed buildings, cooked food in their kitchens, chatted with their families, visited their neighbours, had tailors sew clothes for them, were treated by doctors, took an interest in music, painted, made statues and in short lived perfectly normal lives. As the archaeological findings show, there have been changes in technology and accumulated knowledge over the course of history, but human beings have always lived as human beings." (Harun Yahya, A Historical Lie: the Stone Age)... Yahya is even happy to cite a 40.000 year old flute as proof that man did not evolve from something more primitive...

SAN BERNARDINO - The British national accused of flying to the United States to have sex with an underage Highland girl pleaded guilty this week to one count of lewd acts with a child.
Adam James Michael Robinson, 21, was in the San Bernardino Superior Courthouse Tuesday for a pre-preliminary hearing when he changed his plea and agreed to a deal with the court.
Robinson originally pleaded not guilty to six counts lewd ans lascivious acts with a child, according to court records. The remaining counts will be dismissed at Robinson's sentencing, which is scheduled for May 7.
Robinson, who lives 37 miles south of London, England, traveled to the U.S. on Dec. 15, the day of the first alleged sexual encounter, according to Redlands police.
Officials believe Robinson had at least six encounters with the girl over two days - four times on Dec. 15 and twice on Dec. 23, according to the criminal complaint.
The girl's parents learned about the relationship and took her to the sheriff's Highland station where they filed a report.
It was unclear how the girl's parents learned about the relationship.
Robinson met the girl online and established a relationship with the her over the course of a year, authorities said. He was arrested Dec. 27 at a Redlands motel.

How does your garden grow?
By: Frenche' Brewer, firstname.lastname@example.com, 803-777-3691
USC rising junior Scott Harriford IV is literally planting the seeds of a business that may soon make him a household name.
Harriford's big idea -- in a word -- is hydroponics. It's the process of growing plants without soil.
"The major advantage of hydroponics is the short grow cycles. Unlike traditional farming methods, hydroponics gives the plants light and nutrients on a specific schedule that ensures a proper crop," Harriford IV says.
Harriford IV, who is majoring in hospitality, retail and sport management, first learned about this hundreds-years-old process as a high school student at Heathwood Hall in Columbia, when he researched it for his senior project.
As the idea for a business germinated, Harriford IV studied sustainable farming, the closest thing to hydroponics, at CityRoots, an urban farm in Columbia, to learn about agriculture.
So convinced that hydroponics is the next big thing in urban farming, that Harriford IV, convinced his father, and namesake, Chip Harriford III to join him in launching Jah Roots, which means "God's Roots" in Jamaican parlance.
"There's a growing movement for people to buy locally because there's a belief that buying locally will make it taste better because if doesn't come from two countries away," Harriford III says.
Hydroponics allows farmers to plant twice as many plants compared to traditional farmers. Plants can grow organically without chemicals, herbicides or pesticides.
Harriford III says many people have tried to commercialize the hydroponics process but failed because they had a flawed business model. But Jah Roots won't make those mistakes.
"They ended up spending a lot of money on bricks and mortar and high tech equipment rather than choosing the obvious, which is that you do this on spaces that nobody wants -- spaces that have been abandoned, spaces that have been left to fall apart," Harriford III says.
"Let me give you an example…in a 4-by-4-foot square, I can grow 63 heads of lettuce in 30 days. If I grow leaf lettuce rather than a head of lettuce, and if I clip the leaves and bag it, I don't have to replant that lettuce, so I can harvest that same lettuce for six, seven, eight, nine, 12 months."
Harriford III says hydroponics is a tried and true process in some well-known places.
"They have tomato plants at Epcot Center that are 15 years old. Epcot's been doing it 30 years, and NASA uses hydroponics in space to provide for the astronauts."
Harriford IV plans to turn his business into the state's newest tourism, educational and retail business. The company has signed on with The SmartState Center of Excellence in Tourism and Economic Development in the USC/Columbia Technology Incubator, as its first business promoting agri-tourism.
"We're creating an urban interactive hydroponic botanical garden and farm that will allow visitors to see high quality hydroponically grown produce, flowers, plants and fish. The goal of the tourism center will be to educate youth about the future of farming and sustainability, Harriford IV says.
