Utah officials including Gov. Gary Herbert are mulling a draft plan to save sage grouse and keep them off the endangered species list.
A working group appointed by the governor spent the past several months developing draft recommendations that would protect 12 populations of the declining bird around the state, largely through a four-mile buffer or "avoidance zone" around breeding grounds and a limit of 5 percent surface-disturbing activities per 640-acre section. Now the administration is shopping it around to counties for comment and deciding whether to adopt or alter it.
Is it enough to thwart a threatened federal intervention that could shut down new mineral extraction and other developments on public lands? The reviews are mixed, but many observers consider the working group's suggestions an important start.
"The state is willing to invest in 70 to 90 percent of their sage grouse and have pretty meaningful restrictions," said Joan Degiorgio, northern Rockies regional director for The Nature Conservancy and the conservation community's representative on the panel. "That's pretty good, and it's a lot more than we're doing now."
Degiorgio, though, shares others' disappointment that the group largely wrote off the Uinta Basin's remaining birds in the face of intense energy development. It was a trade-off that industry and local and state officials extracted for preserving other parts of Utah where birds have a firmer footing.
The Wild Utah Project analyzed the map of 9.1 million acres roughly 17 percent of the state that the team recommended for 12 management zones and found it protected just 63 percent of existing grouse habitat. Those areas hold the healthiest populations, though, and therefore encompass the vast majority of birds. Team members said it made sense to focus the effort on where it can do the most good.
"They are definitely leaving out a big chunk," Degiorgio said, "but they're looking at the numbers."
The surface-disturbance restrictions would apply only to new development.
"I think it's too little [protection]," Wild Utah Project Executive Director Jim Catlin said, "especially because it doesn't include anything in the Uinta Basin. There are important areas of the Book Cliffs that should be protected."
Protecting the remote Book Cliffs of southern Uinta County would put grouse conservation on a collision course with oil and gas and potential tar sands and oil shale mining something development interests wouldn't concede during the working group's meetings.
"We looked at it as a trade-off, frankly," Utah SITLA (School & Institutional Trust Lands Administration) Director Kevin Carter said. "It was a balance between trying to save every bird versus trying to save enough birds to maintain a healthy population and still allow energy development in an area that's been recognized as an energy development zone."
Trust lands, which the state develops to help fund schools, make up 600,000 of the total acres in the proposed management zones where a 5 percent disturbance restriction would apply. Carter said that's too much, and he has asked the governor to shrink some of the zones.
But SITLA agreed to restrictions on about 100,000 acres around south-central Utah's Parker Mountain, where the birds are 4,000 strong on lands that the state otherwise could sell for residential development in the future. That was the trade-off for allowing more energy development on SITLA lands in the Uinta Basin and Book Cliffs, Carter said.
Uinta County Commissioner Mike McKee, another working group member, pointed out that his county's Diamond Mountain grouse population is protected by the plan.
As for the rest of the basin, where oil and gas rigs already have fragmented bird habitat: "If we give those birds an immense amount of funds it's not even assured that they will survive," McKee said. "We get the best bang for the buck in being able to take the funds that are available and enhance the areas where we really have an opportunity to give the birds lift."
Scientists believe human alteration of the sagebrush plains across 11 states has eliminated about half of the sage grouse population since Europeans arrived in North America. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service estimates the birds have declined by 30 percent probably to fewer than a half million just since the 1980s.
The Utah Division of Wildlife Resources said the state's sage grouse population estimated at 22,000 this year has declined by at least 1 percent a year since worse losses leveled off in the 1970s.
Bob Budd, a Wyoming rancher who led that state's sage grouse planning efforts, helped Utah's group formulate its draft. He said he believes Utah has the makings of a plan that will save birds and satisfy the Fish and Wildlife Service, just as his state's plan did.
If it doesn't? "You'd just be in absolute gridlock," he said, with economic development shutting down. That's why the state is eager to create a meaningful plan.
"If the Service lists the species," he said, "there are states Utah among them that suddenly don't have any control."
The Fish and Wildlife Service is waiting on the governor's final draft before saying whether it can endorse it as a good alternative to listing the bird for federal protection. Larry Crist, the agency's director for Utah, said he would need more information about habitat losses from previous developments, and how another 5 percent loss would compound the birds' troubles.
"We would want to understand what the existing development is and how it affects the overall cap," he said.
He added, though, that "they did a pretty good job designating the [conservation] areas."
The state is under some pressure to adopt a plan soon, before federal land managers update their plans with more stringent restrictions of their own.

Brand and Product Management
The goal of the Brand and Product Management concentration is to prepare you for positions in brand and product management across a broad array of industries. Positions associated with brand and product management typically include P/L responsibilities for a product or product line along with a strong advocacy role for the long-term success of the brand. Opportunities for brand management expertise continue to expand as a growing number of companies and industries recognize that their brands are often the most valuable asset that the company creates, markets and manages. While pioneered within the consumer packaged goods industry, brand and product management has become a critical component of almost every company's competitive strategy.
Brand and product management jobs often entail running multi-million dollar product businesses and hence provide excellent opportunities for those interested in general business and entrepreneurship. As brand management skills have become critical in the more central marketing strategy efforts of many leading organizations, brand management is increasingly a route to CEO positions. Graduates of the program have also leveraged their brand management skills into account management positions with advertising and communication consulting firms.
Hands-on experiences complement, extend and continually refine classroom curriculum. Texas MBAs have an array of opportunities to experience hands-on learning, some of which are listed below:
Student organizations open the doors to relationships, leadership development, professional growth, increased understanding and just plain fun. Below are some student organizations you may wish to consider as you look to tailor your Texas MBA experience.

I got a question from a reader recently that I thought would make a good post. My number one question I get asked about is my shoes so I thought this would interest quite a few of you out there!
Kristie asks:
First off, I'm a huge fan of your blog and love shoes as much as you. I noticed how you often get your costly ones on sale. I have yet to own my first pair of Louboutins and would love any advice on how to score a great pair on sale (or great shoes on sale in general!)
Thanks Kristie! It's true, I do buy most of my designer shoes on sale and I do so by stalking them! haha! :) Now, I want to be totally upfront here that when I say "sale" it's usually the first markdown which is around 30% off so when buying shoes with original prices of $800-$900, their sale price is still around $500-$600. On occasion I can find them at 50% off the original price but those are few and far between. I admit, it's not cheap but finding them on sale is worth it to me. For those of you looking for a true bargain, I don't have any good tips other than check Nordstrom Rack and you might get lucky. :) With that said, here are some tips on how to score designer shoes on sale.
#1 Befriend a sales associate in the shoe department:
Nordstrom is a great place to form a relationship with a sales associate and this is where I'm going to base my tips from as I buy the majority of my shoes from Nordstrom. They are so great about the customer relationship and keeping track of what you like, what size you are and basically what you want to buy. How do you start such a relationship? When you go shopping for shoes and an associate is helping you out with shoes, tell them what you are interested in and if there is any sales on this certain brand, please call me. Ask for their card and remember their name. This is important! Because the next time you come in to buy shoes and you ask for them, they will know that you are a repeat customer and will continue going to them to buy your shoes. It's a win-win situation as you continue buying shoes from them and then you get the advantage of knowing when new shoes come in or when your favorite brands go on sale. Once they get to know you, they will just start calling you to come in and pre-sale even before the sale starts so you get an even bigger advantage of picking out the shoes you want before the public even begins to attack them! As someone with small feet, this is a huge advantage for me as usually by the time I hit a sale, all the 5's are gone and am stuck scrounging through the "size 6 and under rack" hoping to find a 5.
#2: Know when the sales are going to start
Once you start seeing notices about sales, call up the department stores and ask when their designer shoe sale will start. (That is, if you are not already working with a sales associate. If you have a sales associate that you work with, they will call you and tell you that it's coming). If you have a specific designer that you like that have their own stores (Prada, Miu Miu, Gucci) call them up too. Usually designer shoe sales are at the end of each season and it starts a little bit later than their normal sales. Each department store has a different start date but most of them are within one week of each other. If it is close enough (usually 1-2 weeks before) ask if you can pre-sale shoes. Most of the time they will say yes. My favorite time for sales shoes is around Christmas time. That's when almost all of the fall shoes get marked down and you can find a ton of shoes on sale at all the major department stores. I often plan my trips to New York right around this sale time so I can hit Saks and Bergdorf's amazing shoe sales.
#3: STALK your shoes
Usually by the end of the season I already know which shoes I have my eye on. If the store does not have it in my size I ask my sales associate to look for it in different stores. If they don't have it, I call up another department store and have them look for them. I also check the online stores very diligently. Online, I buy a lot of my shoes from barneys.com, neimanmarcus.com, net-a-porter.com and saks.com, something that I have found is to shop online at night because a lot of times, they will put things on sale and then announce it the next day. So you know how sometimes you click on the email in the morning about the huge sale and it's already all picked over? It's because all the night shoppers already got all the good stuff! This method is hard unless you want to check every dang night (which I do sometimes if I am dying for a certain pair of shoes). On that note though, make sure that you sign up for their mailing list so you do know when they go on sale. Don't forget to check the designer's site too! gucci.com, jimmychoo.com and ysl.com always have end of season sales too.
#4: The Purse Forum
I am a member of The Purse Forum but do not post often. However, their "Deals & Steals" section is amazing as all the members on there are die hard sale shoppers that post up fantastic deals that they spot or any knowledge of sales going on. I've found quite a few pairs of sales shoes based on tips from the members of The Purse Forum.
That's about it! I've been using these methods for the past 3 years (other than The Purse Forum, I just found that) so I'd say that they work pretty well!
I love fall shoes. I'm not much of a strappy shoe girl, I don't like to show my toes too much so I'm a fan of pumps and peep toes. Here are a few pairs of shoes that I have my eye on. I might have to report back at the end of the season and see if I am able to get any of these on sale!
One thing to note is that sales usually only apply to the "trendy" shoes of the season. If you are looking for the classics that the designers carry throughout each season, it is pretty much impossible to find them on sale. My thinking is that if they are classics, then they are worth the splurge and you will be able to get many years wear out of them.
Kristie, I hope this helps and have fun shopping for shoes! :)
Side note: if you come upon a site that sells Louboutins for cheap, please do not email me asking me if this is a reputable site. Please read #3 above for the sites that I buy from. I am not the expert on these sites but I can tell you that I'd rather be safe and buy from a reputable retailer than some site that "looks" legit but sells designer brands for amazingly low prices.

First thank you for your sweet words and hugs :) I'm so glad your dad and fmaily got through that and that's he's better now.ReplyDelete
Great post! Oh and make sure you check out www.theoutnet.com they've got some Loubies in a 5 at 50-60% off right now :)
What great advice! I am totally checking out Purse Forum right now :)ReplyDelete
this is really great advice! I shop for my shoes pretty much the same way! Thanks for sharing :)ReplyDelete
love the first pair all your wish list!!!ReplyDelete
Hi Tiffany!ReplyDelete
Love your blog! Too fabulous...
Anyway, I know you've been to Vegas, and was wondering if you have any advice. On where to go, what to see, etc. Any suggestions for clubs?
What's a must do in vegas? Besides gambling of course...
Please leave a comment on my blog when you have time! Thanks a bunch!
Great advice. It applies to anything you're looking for, really. Since starting to write the Francis blog, I've seen that you have to check websites every day because weird sales come and go all the time. Like one day things are 25% off, the next they are full price, then the following week they are 40% off. So stalking is very important!ReplyDelete
Any advice on how to learn to part with $600 for one pair of shoes?? :P I'm thinking I'm going to go after a nice handbag instead first, and maybe then I'll find it worth it to get some shoes to go with it... (Or if I could EVER learn to drive in heels.)ReplyDeleteReplies
As someone who's been wearing heels most of my life, and now my freshman college daughter who's been wearing them since about 8th grade we have a lot of experience with wearing/living daily lives in heels.Delete
I'm not sure about others but you should NEVER drive with really high heels, it's dangerous. The heel can easily get trapped on a floor mat, the carpet, etc. due to the angle of the heel when driving.
It is best to keep a pair of flats or slippers in the car for driving.
fabulous advise! :) you always have such cute shoes!ReplyDelete
Great info! I am dying to go to Nordstrom's Rack. I haven't been there forever... :(ReplyDelete
Also, those pink leopard shoes are awesome!
Thanks for sharing all of your ah-mazing tips to finding designer shoes! Your collection above is awesome!ReplyDelete
Thanks for the advice! I'm not sure yet which shoes i'm stalking. Time to get a headstart on it!ReplyDelete
I saw a similar pair of miu mius on the outnet today....hurry on over!!! xoReplyDelete
i love it - this is a great post!!ReplyDelete
plus i love your wishlist of shoes...i want those YSL sandals too...
Great post!ReplyDelete
I second the Nordstrom idea. I have had several great shoes buys. One time before the half yearly sale the sales person I know showed me a preview of the images that had in an employee leaf sheet.
I was able to preorder them so I got them a couple days before the sale even started.
Another time I was shopping for a pair of shoes and the sales person said they would be going on sale in a couple weeks and was able to give me the sale price if I paid up front and she had them shipped to me a couple days before the sale started. Effortless shopping.
Oh, Marni is having 50% off their shoes through their online store too!ReplyDelete
great tips! my size always go out fast even before they go on sale so I sometimes end up paying full price for shoes that I really love.ReplyDelete
Isn't Nordies the best!!! As are you! =)ReplyDelete
Super advice lady! One of these days those elusive Loubies will be mine. : )ReplyDelete
Nice fall picks!ReplyDelete
Oh, and fab advice! Thanks!
Hello, I absolutely adore your site and I just had to leave a note for you to say so !ReplyDelete
Your posts are interesting, creative and original, and your pictures are great too.
Perfection !
Thank you for sharing them all and best wishes... Happy September

Spiritual deliverance and restored confidence
In Psalm 77 we have spiritual deliverance and restored confidence. He cried with his voice to God, and God gave ear to him. To cry with the voice is more than to have a wish. A cry is the expression of weakness, dependence, recourse had to God, the reference of the soul to God, even of uprightness of heart. In the day of trouble, it was not merely complaint, irritation, anger; but "I sought the Lord," Adonai, not Jehovah. His first thought was whether the Lord would cast off for ever (v. 7-9); for here he, as often remarked in the Psalms, is going through the process which led to the statements of the first verses.* In verse 10 he judges himself in the thought, and remembered those years in which the power of Jehovah, the covenant God of Israel, the Most High of the fathers, was displayed (compare the remark, verse 5). The way of God is always and necessarily according to His own most blessed and holy nature, and understood in the secret place in which He makes known His thoughts to those in communion with Him. His way is according to that place, in which He judges His people according to His present relationship with them. (Hence the place of the interpreter, one among a thousand). The ways of God are the application of the divine principles of His holy nature, owned as placing Himself in relationship with His people, according to which principles that relationship must be maintained. That is His sanctuary. There is where He is approached. Thence He deals with His people, not merely in outward guidance, but as making good in His majesty the principles of His nature (so far as revealed) in the hidden man of the heart.** He deals in the holy place of His nature and majesty with us in the truth of our state our real, moral, inward state. He does not deviate from these ways, nor compromise the majesty they make good. But they (though according to His nature) are carried out in a revealed relationship. They make good His nature and majesty in it, but never infringe it. Man in relationship with Him must suit himself to it, must walk in his inward state with Him in it; but God, if He deals according to it, purifies him for it, shows the evil, hides pride from man in order to bless him, but makes good His own majesty. Hence the heart in the evil turns back to that which formed the relationship in redemption (v. 14-18).
{*This, if noticed, makes many psalms easy to understand, which would otherwise be difficult; because sorrow and distress follow after the confidence, but it is really what the spirit passed through in reaching it.}
{**This supposes, of course, truth in the inward parts, conversion.}
God's ways -- in the sanctuary and in the sea
Israel or the godly remnant is not in the enjoyment here of covenant blessings, but, when distressed, looks back by faith to a time which recalls the power of Him who cannot change. The comfort of the soul is, that God's way is in the sanctuary, according to the nature and ways of God Himself, so far as He is revealed. If I look out to judge as man, His way is in the sea I cannot trace it; His footsteps are not known, for who can follow out Him who disposes of all things with a thought? We do know God's own nature and character in relation to us by faith, and can reckon on it, as to all He does, as faithful and unchangeable; but we cannot know and judge His ways in themselves. Hence the unbeliever is discontented and will blame God; the believer is happy, because he has the key to all, in what the God is whom he knows, and on whose ordering of all things he can count. It must be according to what God is. He does not order all things contrary to what He is; but He is for us and therefore orders all things for us makes all things work together for good. He leads His people like sheep. In Psalm 73 the tried one learned the end of his outward enemies, who prospered while he was chastened. Here he learns the ways of God with himself.
But this psalm is practically both interesting and instructive. The soul away from the enjoyment of divine blessing, is awakened by grace to cry to God, the sense of the loss of these blessings pressing upon it. He seeks the Lord, and this presses the trouble, as it ever does, on him; he feels where he is, his soul refused comfort; but the thought of God is a source of trouble, for if faith is awakened, conscience is too, which mingled with the loss of blessing, and the spirit overwhelmed; his soul is kept in wakeful consciousness of where he is. He thinks of bright days of old when the "candle of the Lord shone upon" him. Had God given him up, forgotten to be gracious and shut up His lovingkindness in displeasure? Can he think that God has given him up, and he one of His people! This brought God Himself into his mind. How could it be all over with him? It was his own infirmity; and he turns back to the years of the right hand of the Most High. He remembers Jehovah's works. In reaching Jehovah with his own humbled spirit, he reached One who was for His people ever and who had wrought for them and redeemed them of old. He, their God, became the source of his thoughts, not his own state towards Him. Then His being their God made it so dreadful. Then he can think and judge rightly of His ways too. They are in the sea not to be tracked by man's foot, but in the sanctuary always according to His nature and character, and accomplishing His purposes in good.Synopsis by John Darby

Hank Williams Jr. headlining Nashville's 'New Year's Eve Bash'
Listen to Hank Williams Jr. on iHeartRadio
Hank Williams Jr. is doing something he used to avoid - performing on New Year's Eve.
The country great is headlining Nashville's "2013 Music City New Year's Eve Bash on Broadway" Tuesday night.
For many years Williams wouldn't perform on the holiday, since New Year's Day is the anniversary of his father's death. Country legend Hank Williams Sr. died on January 1st, 1953, when his son was just three years old.
Hank Jr. tells Nashville's "Tennessean" New Year's "used to be a real special thing," but now "it's been quite a few years." The singer adds that he'll really deliver on stage. He says fans are often surprised by his high-energy show. But he explains that can give each show his all, because he's cut back on performing and isn't "worn out" from playing over 150 concerts a year. Williams says he's put in his time "living in a bus," and "it ain't gonna happen" again. He now typically plays only about 25 shows a year.
Brett Eldredge, Blackberry Smoke, and Robert Randolph are some of the other artists slated to perform at the event. The "2013 Music City New Year's Eve Bash on Broadway" will also include a "Music Note Drop" - Nashville's equivalent of the crystal ball in New York's Times Square - and a fireworks display.

Kathleen Turco Named GSA's Chief Financial Officer
August 5, 2002
Contact: Deborah K. Ruiz (202) 501-1231
WASHINGTON - GSA Administrator Stephen A. Perry today named Kathleen M. Turco as the agency's Chief Financial Officer.
"Kathleen brings to GSA extensive experience in strategic planning as well as experience in the public sector," said Administrator Perry. "She will be a key player on the GSA executive team."
As the agency's CFO, Ms. Turco will serve as the agency's principal adviser on all matters related to financial management. She will also serve on the agency-wide Executive Committee and play an instrumental role in GSA's strategic management and performance measurement process.
Additionally, Ms. Turco will direct agency budget and financial activities and oversee the development and use of financial management systems within GSA. GSA's CFO manages financial operations that include billions of dollars in Federal purchases and an annual budget of $19 billion. The size and complexity of the GSA operation rivals that of most large corporations.
Most recently, Ms. Turco served as Director of Financial Policy, Planning and Programs Modernization & Information Technology Services at the Internal Revenue Service. She directed the financial and budget policy and planning for IRS' business systems modernization and information services operations and maintenance.

Securing the Internet: Larry Peterson -- Blue sky thinking
Patrolling the edges, rethinking the core, Princeton researchers envision a more secure Internet
Larry Peterson is chairman of the computer science department and a force behind the Global Environment for Network Innovation, aka GENI, a National Science Foundation-backed effort to build a test-bed Internet—one that parallels the actual Internet but which researchers can use to run all sorts of experiments.
"The research community has lots of potential solutions to our vast array of security problems, but currently we have no way to investigate and validate those solutions," Peterson said. "GENI will enable us to figure out what works and what doesn't."
GENI is often referred to as a "clean-slate" attempt to redesign the Internet from the ground up. Peterson said that while GENI may indeed lead to a wholesale reshaping of the Internet, it might also lead to more incremental changes.
"It is an extreme position to believe that we are going to replace the entire Internet," he said. On the other hand, Peterson noted, the Internet itself is a model for its own reinvention. "Thirty years ago the Internet was the crazy clean-slate idea on the block and telecommunications was the entrenched system," he said.
Peterson likes to say that this is computer science's opportunity to do fundamental research in a way that has never before been possible. The GENI testing ground is to computer scientists what a particle accelerator is to physicists or a space telescope is to astrophysicists.
"This is our moon shot," Peterson told The Chronicle of Higher Education in 2007. "It's the computer field's version of the International Space Station. It's our chance to do big science."
Most important, as Peterson sees it, GENI would give the research community a chance to profoundly influence the future of the Internet. He points out that if the Internet continues on its current trajectory, industry will dominate all important decisions about its future. "If industry continues to chart the course of the Internet we won't ever be able to have a national debate on privacy and security," said Peterson.
Peterson argues that a blue-sky project like GENI is essential because we can't do deeply innovative research on the Internet; experimentation would jeopardize the stability on which existing commerce and other business depend.
Thus, he argues, researchers need a separate test bed where they can safely try wild new ideas.
So far the Internet has proved to be exceedingly innovative "at the edges"—for example, giving the raw material for an inventive 19-year-old to bring the billion-dollar music industry to its knees with the invention of Napster. Peterson sees GENI as the means to train innovative thinking on—instead of peripheral applications—the technological core of the Internet.
GENI will allow researchers to experiment with new approaches to specific aspects of the Internet; it also will allow them to play with new technologies that may ultimately supplant the network of networks that currently serves as the Internet's nervous system with something we can scarcely yet imagine—say, an entirely wireless infrastructure or one that operates chiefly on optics.
Above all, Peterson—like his GENI compatriot Jennifer Rexford—firmly believes that the best way to address security is through the network. "We can't wait for all personal computers to become more secure," he said. "The network needs to be able to quarantine compromised machines so that we can limit their collateral damage."

Rolling Stones reschedule Australian tour
Listen to The Rolling Stones on iHeartRadio
The Rolling Stones are making good on their promise to return to Australia later this year.
The band has unveiled their new itinerary, which starts at the Adelaide Oval on October 25th. The rock legends have also added a second show in Perth, as well as a date in Hunter Valley. They'll also visit Melbourne, Macedon Ranges, and Sydney as well as Auckland, New Zealand.
The Stones were originally scheduled to perform "down under" this spring, but cancelled the trek when Mick Jagger's girlfriend, fashion designer L'Wren Scott, died just days before the tour was to begin.
The Stones will resume their "14 On Fire" tour next month. The group has a six-week trek set with stops scheduled throughout Europe. They'll also play a show in Israel in June.

A cold Pacific storm passed quietly through the Southland region Thursday, landing its biggest punch with snow in the high mountain areas. | PHOTOS
There could be additional showers during the day, but it should be mostly moderate in nature, according to ACCU-Weather expert senior meteorologist Ken Clark.
"It will be spotty," he added. "It won't be much."
Rain late Wednesday night resulted in .25 inch at the Long Beach Airport, according to Clark, adding there was .08 inch at Los Angeles International Airport,.45 inch at John Wayne Airport in Orange County, and .35 inch in Fullerton.
The greatest amount of rain was in southern Orange County, and in extreme eastern Los Angeles County, including Pomona, east San Gabriel, Azusa and the Inland Empire, which had three quarters of an inch.
However, in Huntington Beach, the police reported some flooding on northbound Pacific Coast Highway. The road was closed this morning at Warner Avenue, near the Bolsa Chica wetlands, because of some flooding due to a combination of high tide and the overnight rains, according to Huntington Beach police.
The area frequently floods during rains.
Clark said overnight temperatures dipped into the 50s.
"It's not that cold of a storm," Clark added. "The 50s, that's normal for this time of the year."
However, the storm's snow fall was described as brisk, especially at Big Bear above 6,000 feet.
"It's snowing pretty good," Clark said.

Ex-Escort Won't Sell Tix to Birth After All
(NEWSER) – An aspiring model and former escort in Britain says she won't be selling tickets to her baby's birth after all, and has decided to quit smoking and drinking—all because she found out she was having a girl, not a boy.
Josie Cunningham, dubbed "Britain's most hated woman," now says she's "ashamed" of her plans to offer tickets to the birth at around $66,000 a pop and charge Skype viewers $330 to watch via livestream, reports the Daily Mirror.
At least four people had paid an apparently reduced price of $15,000 each per ticket, according to the Daily News.

I was at the drug store with LO, he was in his stroller, and I got a bunch of things.
My shopping basket became too heavy so I put the milk in the stroller. When it came time to check out LO (little one) was screaming and I became flustered.
I paid for all of my items, and forgot the milk.
When leaving, and undercover security guard followed me out and told me I was under arrest.
He escorted me to the back security room in the store. Once there he began to fill out paper work and explained that he would be calling the police. I had to stay in that room for nearly 3 hours with LO. I was in tears almost the entire time.
I even had to nurse poor LO (little one) in that room, and I felt like the worst mother ever.
The security guard would barely let me speak, let alone explain that I just forgot. Why would I pay for all the small expensive items and steal the cheap heavy one. He wouldn't let me use the washroom. I peed my pants sitting in his chair. He told me not to nurse LO, i told him to fuck off, and fed my baby. He would not let me have my cell phone to awnser the many worried calls and texts from my husband.
When he finally called the police, they came in and told me to give me back my cell phone. They looked up my record, saw that it was clean and of course let me go. The police man said that he has 3 kids, and had forgotten items in his stroller. It was obvious that I just forgot. He told me to pay for my milk and get my baby home.
I am know banned for life from the drug store 5 minutes from my house. I was there 3 or 4 times a week. It was the most terrible experience I've had with LO.
For debate : Should stores have a zero tolerance for shoplifting, or should it be treated case by case?
Should the security guard have reminded me to pay for the milk, or waited until I left to pursue me?
Was I treated fairly?

Good Afternoon, Chairman Putnam, Vice-Chairman Miller, and members of the subcommittee. I am M.J. Jameson, Associate Administrator for the General Services Administration's (GSA's) Office of Citizen Services and Communications. Thank you for inviting me to testify at today's hearing on: "Electronic Government: A Progress Report on the Successes and Challenges of Government-wide Information Technology Solutions."
I am here to discuss USA Services, the E-Government initiative assigned to GSA's Office of Citizen Services and Communications. I would like to say at the outset that we appreciate the strong support this subcommittee and full Committee Chairman Tom Davis have shown for USA Services. It is also important to acknowledge the encouragement and guidance we have received from the Office of Management and Budget and our own Administrator of General Services, Stephen A. Perry.
President Bush articulated his plan to harness Internet technology on behalf of citizens in his February 2002 budget request to Congress. The idea of using Internet technology to make government more citizen centric has been fully embraced by Administrator Perry. This concept is part of the President's Management Agenda, an aggressive government reform strategy designed by the Administration. In his Management Agenda, the President promised to use the Internet "to empower citizens, allowing them to request customized information from Washington when they need it, not just when Washington wants to give it to them. True reform involves not just giving people information, but giving citizens the freedom to act upon it."
The broad objective was – and remains – championing citizen-centered government that will result in major improvements in the Federal Government's value to the citizen. USA Services is helping to make this a reality by supporting many objectives of the President's program to strengthen E-Government.
The Mission
The mission of USA Services is to present citizens with a single "front door" to government, allowing them to receive accurate, timely, and consistent answers and information. USA Services also helps other E-Gov initiatives and Federal agencies better respond to citizen inquiries.
USA Services is managed by the GSA Office of Citizen Services and Communications, established in June 2002 to streamline and modernize access to government information and services. USA Services was built from the following operational units that now reside within OCSC: FirstGov.gov, the National Contact Center (better known as 1-800-FED-INFO), and the Pueblo, Colorado, publication distribution facility. This structure allows citizens to access government more efficiently, effectively, and more easily than ever before. It also permits entry through the citizen's channel of choice: the Internet, telephone, e-mail, or publications. With USA Services, we are answering the President's challenge to help citizens find information and obtain services organized according to their needs, and not according to the divisions created by the government's organizational chart.
Citizens in search of information can log on to FirstGov.gov, where they are linked to and able to search more than 24 million Federal and state government pages that offer easy-to-understand information and services 24 hours a day, seven days a week. This year, we expect to top 190 million page views.
With FirstGov.gov, we also have the capacity to help those who need assistance with difficult questions. For example, citizens can send us an E-mail by clicking on an Uncle Sam icon, and we respond within two business days. This year we project that we will respond to more than 150,000 emails, which is more than twice the amount received last year.
We also serve citizens through more traditional means, such as 1-800-FED-INFO, the National Contact Center, where we answer telephone questions from citizens on behalf of all Federal agencies. During FY03, citizens called 1-800-FED-INFO nearly two million times. This fiscal year, we anticipate more than 2.5 million calls. We answer questions such as, "How do I get a passport?" And, "Where can I apply for Federal grants and benefits?" And, "How do I apply for a Federal job?"
The third communications channel is the Publications Center. "Pueblo, Colorado 81009" is one of the best known addresses in the country. Pueblo is a one-stop shopping center for Federal consumer publications. Whether citizens order publications by mail, phone, or on-line, their orders are filled at the Pueblo distribution facility. Since the beginning of the print program in the early 1970s, we have distributed over 336 million publications to citizens. Three of the most popular publications are: Making a Will; Losing Weight; and the Consumer Action Handbook.
USA Services – Assisting Federal Agencies
Mr. Chairman, the USA Services initiative also supports the President's directive to ignite a culture change in government – one that shifts the focus away from agency needs and more toward citizen needs.
As the lead in this effort, GSA is looking after citizen interests by helping our fellow agencies in two ways: First, when an agency gets a phone call or E-mail that should go to another agency, we take care of the misdirected communication.
Citizens often don't know which agency to call or E-mail with their questions or problems. When they reach the wrong agency, we can either give them the information, or – if the question is more complex – direct them to the right office.
USA Services currently has 14 agencies signed up to send us these misdirected calls and E-mails. Our goal is 20 partners by the end of FY 2004. Ultimately, we would like to have the entire government on board. This is a free service for the agencies, as it is a part of OCSC's core mission to help Federal agencies better serve the public.
In some cases, agencies come to us for an even higher level of support. USA Services personnel can respond to citizens' frequently asked questions with information that's been cleared through agency experts. We call this our Tier 1 service. This not only helps the citizen, it helps the agencies as well by saving time and money, and by allowing agency personnel to concentrate on their core missions. This is a reimbursable service that we provide to six agencies. Our goal is 10 Tier One partners by the end of FY 2004 and 15 by the end of FY 2005.
FirstGov.Gov – The Flagship
Mr. Chairman, I'd like to say a bit more about FirstGov.gov, the cornerstone of USA Services. In the simplest terms, FirstGov has taught us that it makes a lot more sense to go online than to waste time standing in line when working with government. It swaps red tape for a red carpet.
FirstGov helps citizens navigate through the bureaucracy without having to know organizational structure, program names or the acronyms of government agencies. It provides citizens, businesses, Federal employees, government organizations and the media with an easy, one-stop place to find government services and information.
In the past, citizen interaction with Federal agencies and state and local governments could be hit-or-miss. A mail or phone inquiry might mean the letter writer or the phone caller would be passed from office to office. There was no guarantee that the citizen's question would be answered, a frustrating and time-consuming exercise for all. With FirstGov that is no longer the case.
Mr. Chairman, reaction to FirstGov shows citizens appreciate being able to access government on their terms. A partial list of accomplishments includes the following:
o Innovations in American Government Award, the "Oscar" of government, given by the Ford Foundation and the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University in partnership with the Council for Excellence in Government -- May 2003.
o Featured as a model for collaboration in "New Models of Collaboration: A Guide for Managers," a study conducted by the Center for Technology in Government, State University of New York at Albany -- February 2004.
o Selected among EContent 100 by E-Content Magazine – December 2003.
o Rated #1 in Web-Quality & E-Government Readiness in the United Nations "World Public Sector Report 2003 - E-Government at the Crossroads" -- November 2003.
o Rated #1 in Overall Federal e-Government by the Taubman Center for Public Policy at Brown University -- September 2003.
o PC Magazines Top 100 Classic Sites – March 2003.
Mr. Chairman, President George W. Bush has challenged us with an aggressive reform agenda and we at GSA are working to implement programs that will keep us moving forward. USA Services and FirstGov.gov are critical to our efforts.
The Office of Management and Budget has been instrumental in the progress we've achieved so far. This year OMB also directed agencies in the FY05 Passback language and guidance to sign USA Services Working Agreements for our misdirect program and to evaluate our Tier 1 services for citizen inquiries.
I know that I speak for Administrator Perry as well as myself when I say the bottom line is two-fold: the demand for citizen services is headed up, and we in government are actively and aggressively taking advantage of the technology at our disposal. A dramatic change is underway, one that scientists, sociologists and historians may not fully appreciate for decades to come.
I am proud to be part of that change, and again, thank you for the opportunity to testify today.

Spooftooph is designed to automate spoofing or cloning Bluetooth device Name, Class, and Address. Cloning this information effectively allows Bluetooth device to hide in plain site. Bluetooth scanning software will only list one of the devices if more than one device in range shares the same device information when the devices are in Discoverable Mode (specifically the same Address).
Well normally most of us never intend to audit the Bluetooth stack in any organization. But this tool could be interesting to use in an environment where Bluetooth devices have been paired with important hardware.
Attachment 766
Spooftooph presents us the following features:
- Clone and log Bluetooth device information
- Generate a random new Bluetooth profile
- Change Bluetooth profile every X seconds
- Specify device information for Bluetooth interface
- Select device to clone from scan log
Option 1: Continuously scan an area for Bluetooth devices. Make a selection on which device in the list to clone. This option also allows for logging of the scanned devices.
Option 2: Randomly generate and assign valid Bluetooth interface information. The class and address are randomly generated and the name is derived from a list of the top 100 most common names in US and the type of device. For example if the randomly generated class is a phone, SpoofTooph might generate the name Bobs Phone.
Option 3: Specify the name, class, and address a user wishes for the Bluetooth interface to have.
Option 4: Read in the log of previous scans and select a device to clone. Users can also manually add Bluetooth profiles to these log files.
Option 5: Incognito mode. Scan for and clone new devices at user assigned intervals.
A sample command line could be:
# spooftooph -i hci0 -n new_name -a 00:11:22:33:44:55 -c 0x1c010c

If you're looking for a great spear fishing snorkeling package, Omer has the perfect set up for you:
Omer-Sub "Alien" Spear Fishing & Diving Mask:
Did you ever wonder why all the good spear fishermen wear only dark rubber masks? Clear silicone can create reflections on the inside of the lens from surface light distracting the hunters focus on the prey. Real hunters wear black. The Alien is a small internal volume mask specifically designed for spear fishing. The strap adjustment buckles are positioned directly on the skirt, greatly reducing the total weight of the mask and allowing greater hydrodynamics.
The Alien Mask has a double feathered edge silicone rubber mask skirt for a superior seal on the face. The dual tempered safety glass lenses give optical quality view of the environment and your prey. The easy excess nose pocket makes ear equalization a breeze even when wearing gloves. Mask is equipped with a wide split strap for a comfortable fit. The Alien Mask offers a wide field of vision. The mask is available in the classic black silicone, black body version.
Omer Zoom Snorkel
The Zoom snorkel series has been developed, by Omer technicians, specifically for spear fishing and free diving. The shapes of the silicone mouthpiece and the air tube have been ergonomically designed to follow the profile of the spear fisherman's face, to greatly reduce its visibility during the dive. The internal diameter of the tube is 0.8" (20 mm), a specific dimension to optimize the air flow rate. The snorkel keeper is easy to use and is reduced to minimal dimensions to further decrease the visibility. The tube o the Zoom is manufactured in PVC.
Eagle Ray Fins:
The Eagle Ray Free Diving fins feature a synthetic rubber foot-pocket with an excellent quality price relationship. The blades are produced in a low modular polypropylene with a 17?angle between the foot-pocket and blade. It's a powerful fin yet comfortable and easy to use, ideal for beginners as well as skilled divers. Fins are available in 4 sizes from US 8-9 to 12-13 (EUR 40-41 to 46-47). The complete snorkeling set of gear comes in a convenient nylon and clear covered carry case that has a dual zipper slider closure and a side grab handle for ease of transportation.
This product has a limited warranty of 24 months.
