http://www.timesdispatch.com/rtd/new...234823/215065/Three people were taken to hospitals during the weekend after an 11-year-old Augusta County boy lost control of his speeding family car.
Just after midnight Saturday, the car driven by the boy skidded across an oncoming lane of traffic on Thoroughfare Road north of Waynesboro and crashed into a concrete culvert, according to Virginia State Police. The northbound car was traveling about 5 miles faster than the speed limit, police said. The boy was wearing a seat belt.
Beside the boy in the front seat was his father, 31-year-old Michael Powell, who was listed in fair condition yesterday at the University of Virginia Medical Center. Also in the front seat was Kelly Scott, 30, who was airlifted to U.Va. with spinal fractures. She, too, was listed in fair condition. Another boy, 7, was treated at Augusta Medical Center; another man suffered minor injuries.
Now what the hell was his 11 yr. son doing driving the family car. I want to know why. I'm glad he was wearing a seat belt but tell me more. He has really injured Kelly Scott with spinal fractures.

Jason Kids Only Conditioner Extra Gentle -- 8 fl oz
Great conditioner for my daughter.
It makes my daughter's hair shine and leaves it much easier for her to comb, without that gunky feeling a lot of conditioners make.
December 30, 2012
Does not do a thing for my kids hair
I usually don't write reviews, but I have to say this is the worse conditioner I have ever used. I got it for my kids who have very curly hair and I could put a handful of conditioner in their hair and it did nothing to condition it. I ended up using my conditioner for them instead. Huge waste of money!!!
December 29, 2012
Love this conditioner
This smells wonderful and works nicely in both my daughters' hair!
January 4, 2011
Yeah, not so much...
I generally like Jason's products, but this one not so much. You have to use a LOT of product to condition - which means a LOT of rinsing. Not fun with a 2-year old. Still looking for a good, natural kids conditioner.
August 7, 2010
good purchase
Bought this because of swim lessons for my 4 year old. The product is nice and thick and helps with the pool chemical damage.

In fight over intelligence IT system, Army prioritizes access to data
The Army says hard-won lessons on the battlefield have taught it that stovepiped IT systems have no place in the business of intelligence collection and sharing. It also acknowledges that enforcing a single set of common standards comes with some tradeoffs.

Johnny Hunt, the superintendent of the Public Schools of Robeson County, is an easy mark, perched as he is atop a school system with 44 schools, 2,700 employees, 24,000 students and — in an ideal world — twice that many parents, but certainly a few less.
Hunt carries a big stick, one that he wields in trying to improve the educational opportunities in Robeson County, not an easy assignment in a place where education hasn't always been prized. He probably makes at least one enemy with every decision he makes, and he makes a lot of decisions every day, thousands a year — many of which are heavy.
He is well-paid as he deserves to be: His salary, $185,000 a year following a recent raise, is about seven times the average wage in Robeson County.
So we know there were groans last week when the Robeson County Board of Education bumped Hunt's pay by $10,000 a year while extending his contract by three years, a decision that came in a 6 to 3 vote. Hunt would have preferred that the vote had been unanimous, but our understanding is that the three no votes were not necessarily a protest of the job the superintendent is doing, but were symbolic — a nod to Robeson County's economic rut, and a concern that the message would not be well-received by the people, including those who vote for the school board.
While Hunt is paid well, he isn't overpaid, at least when compared with superintendents of similarly sized counties. According to the North Carolina School Boards Association the superintendent of New Hanover County, where there are about 24,300 students, makes $200,000 a year, the superintendent of Alamance Count, 22,400 students, makes $201,000 a year, and the superintendent of Moore County, which has half as many students at 12,528 students, makes $172,000.
That's comparing apples with apples, which falls short of the whole story. Hunt leads a district in a tri-racial community in one of the poorest county's in the state, one without the riches to prop up education, and in a county with a history of an undereducated population. These things complicate Hunt's task.
But there have been measurable improvements in test scores and a surge in the local graduation rate. Additionally, Hunt and school board members have managed to maneuver the system without the drama that has burdened previous administrations.
All this weighs in favor of Hunt actually being underpaid — although we don't expect to hear him complaining.
Our thinking would be different had the school board, at the same meeting during which Hunt's new contract was announced, not also decided to hire back more than 40 teacher's assistants who were idled during the last school year because of cuts in state funding. To have given the superintendent a raise while leaving classrooms short-staffed would have been a mammoth-sized PR blunder, and raised questions about the board's priorities.
As it is, there really isn't much to complain about, although we know some will.

Sights in Washington, DC
Rock Creek Park
At 1700 acres, Rock Creek is twice the size of New York's Central Park and feels a hell of a lot more wild. You can be out here and feel utterly removed from the city. Even coyotes have settled into the wilderness (they're not dangerous, by the way). Rock Creek Park begins at the Potomac's east bank near Georgetown and extends to and beyond the northern city boundaries. Narrow in its southern stretches, where it hews to the winding course of the waterway it's named for, it broadens into wide, peaceful parklands in Upper Northwest DC. Terrific trails extend the entire length, and the boundaries enclose Civil War forts, dense forest and wildflower-strewn fields. Cell phone…
United States Holocaust Memorial Museum
Both grim summation of human nature and fierce confirmation of basic goodness, the Holocaust Museum is unlike any other museum in Washington, DC. In remembering the millions murdered by the Nazis, it is brutal, direct and impassioned. Visitors are given the identity card of a single Holocaust victim, narrowing the scope of suffering to the individual level while paying thorough, overarching tribute to its powerful subject. Many visitors leave in tears, and few are unmoved. James Ingo Freed designed the extraordinary building in 1993 and its stark facade and steel-and-glass interior echo the death camps themselves.
Apart from the permanent exhibits, the candlelit Hall of…
Washington Monument
Just peaking at 555ft (and 5in), the Washington Monument is the tallest building in the district. It took two phases of construction to complete; note the different hues of the stone. Tickets are free but must be reserved from the kiosk, or you can order them in advance by calling the National Park Service.
National Building Museum
Devoted to architecture and urban design, this under-appreciated museum is appropriately housed in a magnificent 19th-century edifice modeled after the Renaissance-era Palazzo Farnese in Rome. Four stories of ornamented balconies flank the dramatic 316ft-wide atrium, and the gold Corinthian columns rise 75ft high. Rotating exhibits on different aspects of the built environment are hidden in rooms off the atrium.
That elliptical road that circles the expansive park on the south side of the White House? It's imaginatively known as the Ellipse. The park is studded with a random collection of monuments, such as the Zero Milestone (the marker for highway distances all across the country) and the Second Division Memorial. But the more important function of the Ellipse is hosting sporting events, parades and festivals – from lighting the national Christmas tree, to military drill performances to Lance Armstrong's final ride.
National Museum of Women in the Arts
The only American museum exclusively devoted to women's artwork resides in this Renaissance-Revival mansion. Its collection – 2600 works by almost 700 female artists from 28 countries – moves from Renaissance artists such as Lavinia Fontana to 20th-century works by Kahlo, O'Keeffe and Frankenthaler. The permanent collection is largely paintings, and mostly portraits – not as rich a range as one might hope. But special collections are incredibly varied, ranging from Maria Sibylla Merian's natural history engravings to Native American pottery.
Mt Zion United Methodist Church
One of the sites that recall the history of Georgetown's 19th-century free black community, who lived in an area known as Herring Hill is this church, founded in 1816 and DC's oldest black congregation. Its original site, on 27th St NW, was a stop on the Underground Railroad.
Since 1800, this is where the legislative branch of American government – ie Congress – has met to write the country's laws. The lower House of Representatives(435 members) and upper Senate (100) meet respectively in the south and north wings of the building.
A visitor center showcases the exhaustive background of a building that fairly sweats history. If you book in advance (through http://tours.visit thecapitol.gov) you can go on a free tour of the building, which is as daunting as the exterior, if a little cluttered with the busts, statues and personal mementos of generations of Congress members.
To watch Congress in action, US citizens can request visitor passes…
National Air & Space Museum
The Air & Space Museum is the most popular Smithsonian museum; everyone flocks to see the Wright brothers' flyer, Chuck Yeager's Bell X-1, Charles Lindbergh's Spirit of St Louis and the Apollo 11 command module. An IMAX theater, planetarium and ride simulator are all here (adult/child $9/7.50 each). More avionic pieces reside in Virginia at the Steven F Udvar-Hazy Center, an annex to hold this museum's leftovers.
Washington National Cathedral
This Gothic cathedral, as dramatic as its European counterparts, blends both the spiritual and the profane in its architectural treasures. The stained-glass windows are stunning (check out the 'Space Window' with an imbedded lunar rock); you'll need binoculars to spy the Darth Vader gargoyle on the exterior. Specialized tours delve deeper into the esoteric; call or go online for the schedule.
White House
The White House has survived both fire and insults (Jefferson groused that it was 'big enough for two emperors, one Pope and the grand Lama'). Although its facade has changed little since 1924, its interior has seen frequent renovations. Franklin Roosevelt added a pool; Truman gutted the whole place (and simply discarded many of its historical features – today's rooms are thus historical replicas); Jacqueline Kennedy brought back antique furnishings and historic details; Nixon added a bowling alley; Carter installed solar roof panels, which Reagan then removed; Clinton added a jogging track; and George W Bush included a T-ball field. Cars can no longer pass the White…
Library of Congress
To prove to Europeans that America was cultured, John Adams plunked the world's largest library on Capitol Hill. The LOC's motivation is simple: 'universality,' the idea that all knowledge is useful. Stunning in scope and design, the building's baroque interior and neoclassical flourishes are set off by a Main Reading Room that looks like an ant colony constantly harvesting 29 million books. The visitor center and tours of the reading rooms are both located in the Jefferson Building, just behind the Capitol building.
National Museum of Natural History
A favorite of the kids, the Museum of Natural History showcases dinosaur skeletons, an archae- ology/anthropology collection, wonders from the ocean, and unusual gems and minerals, including the 45-carat Hope Diamond.
Vietnam Veterans Memorial
The opposite of DC's white, gleaming marble is this black, low-lying 'V,' an expression of the psychic scar wrought by the Vietnam War. The monument follows a descent deeper into the earth, with the names of the 58,267 dead soldiers – listed in the order in which they died – chiseled into the dark wall. It's a subtle, but profound monument – and all the more surprising as it was designed by 21-year-old undergraduate student Maya Lin in 1981.
Supreme Court
Even nonlaw students are impressed by the highest court in America. Arrive early to watch arguments (periodic Mondays through Wednesdays October to April). You can visit the permanent exhibits and the building's seven-spiral staircase year-round.
National Zoological Park
Home to over 2000 individual animals (400 different species) in natural habitats, this 163-acre zoo is famed for its giant pandas Mei Xiang and Tian Tian. Other highlights include the African lion pride, Asian elephants and dangling orangutans swinging 50ft overhead from steel cables and interconnected towers (the 'O Line').
National Museum of the American Indian
The Museum of the American Indian provides a fine introduction to the indigenous people of the Americas, with an array of costumes, video and audio recordings, and cultural artifacts. Don't miss the regionally specialized menu of Native-inspired dishes at Café Mitsitam on the ground floor.
National Museum of Asian Art
The dangling sculpture Monkeys Grasping for the Moon, an image of a dozen stylized primates fashioned into the word 'monkey' in a like number of languages (including Japanese, Hebrew, braille and Urdu) is perhaps the most impressive piece of introductory art to welcome you to a Smithsonian institution – and a reminder that you have just entered a very special museum. The Arthur M Sackler Gallery (1050 Independence Ave SW) and Freer Gallery of Art (cnr 12 St & Jefferson Dr SW) combine to form the National Museum of Asian Art, one of the most pleasant Smithsonian museums in the capital. Make sure to visit them in tandem.
This is simply a lovely spot in which to while…
National Museum Of American Art & National Portrait Gallery
These inseparable Smithsonian museums are looking brilliant these days, thanks to a multi-million-dollar facelift. They share the 19th-century US Patent Office building, a neoclassical quadrangle that hosted Lincoln's second inaugural ball and a Civil War hospital. Walt Whitman based The Wound-Dresser upon his experiences as a volunteer nurse here ('The hurt and wounded I pacify with soothing hand/I sit by the restless all the dark night…').
The Portrait Gallery's permanent collection contains more than 4000 images of known faces from all walks and eras of life. The presidential portraits are particularly notable. Look for Gilbert Stuart's famous Lansdowne portrait of…
C&O Canal Towpath
There are all kinds of green escapes from Washington's urban jungle, but the C&O is one of the more pleasant, if only because of the unexpected way it leaps out at you. There you are, wandering through the Valley Girl paradise that is Georgetown on a sunny day, and all of a sudden: wooden water wheels, a green canal, shaggy horses, flat-bed barges and a cobbled path running alongside, all so bucolic you expect hobbits to emerge from the bushes with fiddles and ale. The canal, one of the civil engineering feats of the 19th century, runs 185 miles from here to Cumberland, MD, and once brought goods and passengers from the capital to the then-beginning of the American West.…
Union Station
How beautiful is Union Station? Well, even commuters who use it to get to work – people who should loathe the sight of it – say the grand entrance hall, meant to resemble a Roman triumphal arch, never fails to impress. This was the first structure built in accordance with the McMillan plan, the 1901 campaign to revitalize DC's then dead urban core. Union is one of the pinnacles of the beaux arts and city beautiful movements that transformed the American urban landscape in the 20th century. Besides being an architectural gem, Union is also a semi-minimall and serves as Washington's main rail hub. The main hall, known as the Grand Concourse, is patterned after the Roman…
Lincoln Memorial
Anchoring the Mall's west end is the hallowed shrine to Abraham Lincoln, who gazes peacefully across the reflecting pool beneath his neoclassical Doric-columned abode. To the left of Lincoln you can read the words of the Gettysburg Address, and the hall below highlights other great Lincoln-isms; on the steps, Martin Luther King Jr delivered his famed 'I Have a Dream' speech.
Ford's Theatre & Petersen House
On April 14, 1865, John Wilkes Booth, actor and Confederate sympathizer, assassinated Abraham Lincoln, as president and Mrs Lincoln watched Our American Cousin in the Presidential Box of Ford's Theatre. The box remains draped with a period flag to this day. The theater is open during the day to visitors (except during rehearsals or matinee performances), but you'll need to get a (free) ticket with timed entry from the theater box office; you can also reserve a pass from Ticketmaster (202-397-7328; www.ticketmaster.com) – a surcharge may apply. Check out the Lincoln Museum in the basement, which maps out the assassination's details and displays related artifacts.…
Howard University
The Shaw neighborhood is as defined by Howard University as Georgetown is by her titular school. Founded in 1867, this remains the nation's most prestigious traditionally African American institute of higher education. Distinguished alumni include the late Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall (who enrolled after he was turned away from the University of Maryland's then all-white law school), Ralph Bunche, Nobel laureate Toni Morrison and former New York City mayor David Dinkins. Today Howard enrolls around 12,000 students in 18 schools. There are campus tours (202-806-2755) and a friendly Welcome Center (1739 7th St NW). The surrounding streets are largely filled…
Smithsonian American Art Museum
If you only visit one art museum in Washington, DC, make it this one, technically composed of two institutions. There is, simply put, no better collection of American art in the world. Collectively, these museums are known as the Smithsonian American Art Museum. The National Portrait Gallery is, in its way, a portrait of America, seizing and interpreting the nation's visage by displaying her multiple faces throughout the ages. The Museum of American Art, on the other hand, exhibits the beauty and vision of those figures, the external aesthetic of the humanity so eloquently captured in the Portrait Gallery. Both occupy three floors in the 19th-century US Patent Office…

I am a third year student at the University of York studying History and Politics, and for my undergraduate dissertation I am researching the experiences Anglo-Indian migrants in London from 1947-1960. My interest in this subject is close to home, coming from an Anglo-Indian family myself (my Grandfather and his family lived in Calcutta before moving to south London). In particular, I am interested in looking at the Anglo-Indian identity to see what makes it distinct. I think this would be a fantastic opportunity to discover more about a largely unknown part of history and would really appreciate your, and your members, help. I have attached some questions which I would be grateful of you could pass on to your members. I would be thankful for any responses from the Association.
I look forward to any replies. Many thanks, ….. Stephanie Cullen

Dear Mr Payne and Ms Rebeiro,
Many thanks for your kind response to my email. Your help is much appreciated. The questionnaire is attached in addition to a short introductory letter.
I look forward to hearing from you in due course. Should you require any further information please let me know.
Kind regards, Liola Lee
1. Who were your parents/grandparents/great grandparents?
2. Do you know what their occupations were? If yes, what were they?
3. Do you know which of your forbears originally went to India? If yes, who?
4. If the answer was yes to the previous question was there a connection with the British Army or the East India Company? If there was do you know the regiment/rank or in what capacity they worked for the East India Company?
5. Do you know anything about the journey to India of the original emigrant?
6. Do you have access to any original documents ie; letters/journals/diaries that might give some clues to what life was like for these early settlers in India? Alternatively, perhaps stories of these earlier ancestors have been passed down orally.
7. Who was party to the first mixed marriage/cohabitation, and who was it that the original settler married if known?
8. Do you have any idea of the original religion of the Indian woman? Was she Mohammedan, Hindu, Sikh or other? Or, perhaps it was your male ancestor that converted/ 'crossed over'/'went native' to some degree.
9. What does it mean to you to be Anglo-Indian or to have Anglo-Indian roots?
10. Have you always been aware of being Anglo-Indian or having Anglo-Indian ancestry?
11. Did you do your own family history research? ie; compile your family tree yourself OR was the information you know about your ancestors passed down from one generation to the next.
12. Were you ever told stories of an Indian Princess in the family?
13. What did you or your older relatives think about partition and independence?
14. Were there any problems with bureaucracy when coming to Britain following partition and independence? OR at any other time either before or after partition and independence?
15. Do you feel Anglo-Indians are 'the vanishing remnants of a bygone era' as suggested by writer Blair Williams?
16. Do you have any colleagues or friends with Anglo-Indian ancestry that may be prepared to answer these questions? If yes, please can you forward this questionnaire to them for completion.
Dear Sir/Madam/Ms,
My name is Liola Lee. I am writing a book and would appreciate it if you would kindly consider answering a questionnaire that I have compiled to aid my research.
If there are any questions you would rather not answer or do not know the answer to that is fine. Please only answer what you are comfortable with. Any information you provide is much appreciated. My aim is to contribute to a greater understanding of the significance of family narratives of origin, family myths and memories as history with particular emphasis on the Anglo-Indian community. I further hope that my book will, when published act as a springboard into further study by interested parties into this part of Indo-British history therefore adding a third dimension to what is often seen as two dimensional.
If you are able to scan any old photographs/letters/diary entries that you feel may assist me in my research that would be much appreciated.
I am interested in those individuals/families who know about their ancestry and adapted to life in Britain and other parts of the commonwealth and all that might have entailed and how being Anglo-Indian may have affected everyday life if it did at all. I am also interested in those individuals/families which for one reason or another may have hidden their heritage. I am also interested in those who only discovered Anglo-Indian ancestry by accident when researching their family history. What if any are people's thoughts on that? Actor Rupert Penrys-Jones discovered Anglo-Indian roots when making a television programme and was thrilled and excited.
Please forward your response to:
Many thanks for your time and assistance!!

This library is absolutely fascinating. It appears that the people doing this have gone to a very old and magnificent library, perhaps in Delhi, and have started to scan from one end to the other. Many of the the books are on things like gardening, or are very out of date text books, but all the gazeteers and many of the printed sets of correspondence are on the site.

Gilbert Arenas has provided a spark off the bench since joining the Orlando Magic, bringing some much-needed energy to a second unit bereft of offensive creators. But he hasn't brought that energy in a particularly efficient manner.
Arenas is assisting at a 29.4 percent rate and he's pushing the pace – for that he should be commended. Outside of those traits, however, he's been a bit sloppy thus far. He's shooting just 27.5 percent, the most glaring statistic defining his offensive woes. But his shooting percentage will even out to at least what he was shooting in Washington (39.4 percent, which is at least mediocre).
The bigger issues with Arenas, in my mind, are not related to percentages, but rather to his decision-making. He's not attacking the basket and he's not getting to the free-throw line.
Of his 40 field-goal attempts in his 99 minutes of playing time with the Magic, only nine of those shots have come within ten feet of the basket. And only one shot went in.
To recap, Arenas has shot the ball 40 times in Orlando and made just one lay-up. He's a perimeter player, but you'd like your point guard to at least threaten the rim a little bit. Arenas seems far too comfortable pulling up for mid-range jumpers off the dribble — he's 7-for-22 on such shots — or passing away to his teammates rather than aggressively attacking the paint.
Consequently, he's not getting to the free-throw line. Arenas is 5-for-8 from the free-throw line, but six of those attempts came against Atlanta. He hasn't scored from the charity stripe since that game.
I realize it's been just four games and it's far too early to make any foregone conclusions about Arenas' productivity or his role on this team. He's obviously an immensely talented offensive player. But these are genuine areas of concern for Arenas to improve upon going forward.
His aggressiveness has hardly been a problem – evidenced by his 40 shots in 99 minutes – and it's much-needed for the second unit. You could argue the Magic wouldn't have beaten the Spurs if not for Arenas' proactive play in the second quarter. But he needs to channel some of that aggressiveness toward the rim.

Hi all
Maybe I'm doing something stupid, or don't understand something, but on my simple flight plan this morning I had a 3 turn loiter command. When my plane reached the position, it simply kept on circling, never exiting even after 6+ turns.
Did I do something wrong in my flight plan?
I'm attaching both tlog and waypoint files.
Thanks for any help. I'm flying V2.28.
You do know that there are three types of loiter commands, don't you? 1 - Loiter unlimited, 2 - Loiter x turns, 3 - loiter x time. If you are using the first you will never leave the loiter. Generally that command is used to end a mission, or in conjunction with a conditional command. The other two loiter commands you specify a number of turns you wish to remain in the loiter, or an amount of time...
Hi Doug
Of course :) See my flight plan, it's definately in Loiter Turns command. On the APM Planner the first parameter column turned to "Turns" to confirm this.
It just never moves to the next waypoint and keeps on loitering.
I'm thinking this could be a bug in the APM 2.8?
Can somebody at least confirm that their Loiter Turns is working correctly?
I had the same problem in the beginning. You must tune your APM before that, so it will stay within the loiter radius secten time each turn. After a better tunning it does 0.5 to 1 more circules that it should do. This is relate to the fisrt time it was within the correct radius.
try to increase the requierd radius
Thank you! It makes sense, though it carves a pretty perfect circle no matter what the wind does. I'm using the standard posted Skywalker tuning values.
I'll increase the loiter radius and see if it helps.
Thanks again!
Did a test today. Increased the loiter radius to 100m, it still just keeps on circling indefinately.
I've tested time based loitering, which works perfectly. I'm going to log a bug. Ok, scratch that - I see I'm behind on my version again (2.8)!
I had a problem with LOITER_TURNS today as well. However, it was a little different to yours. In my case, as soon as the command was executed, the quad went haywire and took off from what was a quite controlled auto flight and crashed.
Sorry to hear Simon, hope you can recover soon.
My problem dissappeared as soon as I upgraded to Arduplane 3.4.

Chillicothe-based author Donald Ray Pollock garnered an impressive array of reviews when his debut collection of short stories, Knockemstiff, was published back in March. Everyone from The New York Times to Chuck Palahniuk praised the book's dark humor and its unblinkingly genuine portrait of what it's like to live in a decaying, debaucherous Midwestern town. Yes, Pollock grew up in the true-life Knockemstiff, Ohio.
Now you can add a stop at Bookworm, Michael Silverblatt's revered KCRW radio show. Pollock's appearance is a rarity for a first-time author — long an oasis for incisive conversations, Silverblatt prefers to interview writers with a track record so that he can employ his wicked analytical skills, which often reveal previously undected or rarely discussed trends in an author's work. To put it in simpler terms: dude is smart.
In other Pollock news, he will be taking part in the second annual Books by the Banks at the Duke Energy Center on Nov. 1.

The Kentucky B.A.S.S. Federation Nation Message Board is meant for the discussion of topics related to fishing. Please refrain from any discussion, topics, or language that might be viewed by some as offensive.
Barren is a great place for the Southern divisional. The team(from Ky) that makes it will probably be the only ones that have ever seen the lake. Maybe a couple from Tenn. but that would be all. At the time off the year we are holding the SD, any lake could be high or low. That all depends on mother nature. Ky/Barkley was 11' high somewhere around that time this year, so when your having a tournament that time of year,,,its anyones guess as of the water conditions. With that beig said: I do think that the directors should make sure that the the first qualifier of the year be at Barren and be just before the SD. This would only make sense. If you had it the weekend before, the state team could already be there and the winners of the qualifier(if they are not on the team) could help out before they leave for home. Make the right moves and the State of Ky should be able to work together and win the Southern Divisional in their home state. Just my 2 cents, but it makes sense!!!!!! Heath

McDermott Will & Emery has announced associate bonuses for the first time since overhauling its bonus structure in February.
The US firm amended its associate bonus structure earlier this year to be in line with partner bonuses. The scheme is now set on a calendar year instead of the traditional October time table.
McDermott associates will receive a portion of their annual bonuses in December and the remaining amount in January.
Associates in the class of 2006 and 2007 will receive a bonus advance of $10,000 while 2004 and 2005 associates will get a $15,000 bonus and $20,000 for all other associates.
London-based McDermott partner, Scott Megregian, said: "From an accounting perspective it made sense to change when we give associates bonuses. So associates have not had to wait for 15 months for their next bonus we have decided to stagger it and give them a portion of the bonus in December."
Megregian added that as of January next year all bonuses firm wide will be provided on a calendar year basis with no advances earlier in the year.

JANUARY 10, 2013—New York City morning newscasts today showed the ferry Seastreak Wall Street under tow away from Manhattan's Pier 11 following the hard docking incident yesterday in which a total of 74 passengers were injured.
Meantime, the NTSB investigation of the incident continues. Something that is sure to come under scrutiny is what role, if any, in the accident may have been played by last year's conversion of the vessel from waterjet to propeller propulsion (see earlier story).
The vessel was launched in 2003 and is the third of four sister vessels built by Gladding-Hearn Shipbuilding, Somerset, MA.
As we reported last August, the original propulsion package was chosen with emphasis on speed for the Atlantic Highlands to Manhattan service, delivering speeds in excess of 38 knots and four-engine redundancy, with four Cummins KTA50 main engines, each producing 1,424 kW powering four KaMeWa A50 water jets.
Over time, the operating costs of the four-engine drivetrain, changes to the vessels' schedules and the age of the main machinery led the operator to request an investigation by designer Incat Crowther into repowering options.
That led to the selection of a pair of MTU 16V4000M53 engines and, taking into account the operating profile of the vessel, it was deemed that Servogear controllable pitch propellers would offer a significant fuel savings at the vessel's 32 knot operating speed.
Incat Crowther provided a comprehensive design service, preparing detailed drawings and documentation including revised Coast Guard submissions. Following a competitive tender process, the contract to perform the modification was awarded to Midship Marine of Louisiana.
Investigators will likely be looking at whether any of the hardware or involved in the extensive conversion suffered a failure and at whether changes to the vessel's handling characteristics after the repower were in any way involved.

Don't be a Waldo; make yourself be seen
Periodically I go to Central Contracting Registration to check the numbers; as of Aug. 17, there were 600,349 registered companies. That's more than a few looking to do business with the government.
But what does this mean to you…and to the other 600,348 companies?
If yours is one of the companies that has a solid pipeline and enough business in hand, that may not be of interest to you. For the rest though, here's what it can mean:
Where's Waldo?
The popular children's book series, Where's Waldo, places a tall guy with glasses and a red and white striped shirt and cap and blue slacks in a various scenes where he totally blends in. The object is to find Waldo in the picture. It is not easy.
So let's go back to the 600,349 companies registered at CCR, and remove, say, the top 5,000 (they represent the companies that own major contracts, sell well from GSA, or are active sub-contractors). These are the companies that make decent money in the government market. And although it doesn't seem like a huge percentage, I think it is accurate to say that the top 5,000 contactors in the federal market account for more than 75 percent of the business. That leaves 595,349 companies, a sizeable crowd by most standards.
So what does this mean for you?
For openers, you don't want to be lost in the crowd. The point of Where's Waldo is to make a game out of finding him in some chaotic scene. The point of becoming a government contractor is to stand out in a crowd, and win some business as a result.
However, you might be surprised at how many companies end up as faceless Waldos, lost in the crowd, always wondering what is the magic formula for getting business, and where can I find it? For those lost in the crowd, here is part of the formula:
Succinctly say who you are and what you do.
Now, who do you say it to, and where?
There are a variety of venues in which you need to share this information, and it should start with your company's website. This is where you control the entire editorial process, the content. It is the place that has to become the hub of activity for your company. It must be clearly stated here exactly what you do, how you are different from the competition, and why the government should hire you.
This is all about your ability, not your economic status, so do not lead with 8(a), Hub Zone or any of the company business status information. Lead with your ability.
Once that is clearly stated, you need to attract visitors to your website. Think of it as the hub of a wheel and your activities as the spokes.
Because this is a relationship-driven market, networking is essential.
Networking in the right venues – including associations, breakfast briefings and trade shows – is important, but selecting the right one is critical. Ask around and observe which venues your peers show up in. Selecting the right association can go a long way to helping you meet the right people. The bigger ones for the government market include TechAmerica, AFCEA, the Professional Services Council, ACT/IAC, ASBC and others.
A tip for live networking: make certain your business card states clearly who you are and what you do. Avoid the vacuous tag lines that mean nothing. Make it easy for people to read your web address and your email address – don't use a type size that requires a microscope.
The next spokes on the wheel are Web 2.0 tools and social networking. For those of you not on LinkedIn, get a grip and join this excellent tool for keeping in touch with all those you meet on a professional basis.
Other spokes could include a blog (not as hard to do as many think), video (rapidly growing in popularity for many businesses), webinars (an excellent tool for getting information in the hands of people who care), Twitter (growing), podcasts (think of them as audio white papers), white papers (yes, they still work) and more.
All that a construction contractor needs to get started is at GCExperts.com. For those that want to really get going fast, we provide an Advanced Federal Construction Business Acceleration Training Workshop that concludes with turning in real bids on real contracts. The key is to start building out a circle of influence by working on it every day. The BidTrakker.com system enables any construction contractor to view the entire federal construction spending by the day in less than 5 minutes. It is an essential tool for contractors and a must have technology of the Professional.
Excellent advice and very well stated. I work for a government agency as a small business specialist, and am always appalled of the lack of information and how difficul it is to find information on some websites. After CCR the individual website is the first place we look to find information about a company. The name, address and technical information should be visible within 30 seconds of viewing the website, otherwise, we move on to the next web address.
It is absolutely necessary to have a "value add" statement. Practice that value add statement when you network and make those relationships positive by contributing!
Great advice, Mark (as usual!). I would probably add that, from an internal perspective, is it is equally important to know what you don't do. Too many companies chase everything that moves and/or communicate to government buyers and potential teammates that they can do everything. Not much of a differentiator, spreads resources to thin, and is an indicator of an unwillingness on the part of management to "say no."
Have been a SCORE counselor for over a decade, trying to assist small companies as they try to enter the Government contracting environment. Have been trying to get this message across, but I compete with the Small business Administration. Their "Selling to the Government" free seminars advise these companies to register. End of seminar! I receive requests that read "I registered more than a year ago and have received no contracts. Why not? " or "Why do I need to do any more? Registration will get me in the door". I have a small SCORE client who has spent six months registering, obtaining certificate (when most Federal solicitations permit self-certification) and they really believe that their marketing effort is complete. They have made that statement in their business plan. When I asked them to define just what it is that they are prepared to deliver, the answer was "consulting services". That is one of the boxes on the registration application. Now they can take a vacation while they wait for the contracts to roll in.

I, like other reviewers, was concerned about the high temerature (475 degrees. I roasted a 4 pound pork loin at 475 for 1/2 hour and lowered temperature to 350 to finish. Total cooking time was 45 minutes. I liberally salted and peppered aall sides and also sprinkled dried rosemary on top and added a few onion slices. The roast was fantastic, lightly browed on the outside and tender and juicy inside with good flavor. Roasted to 145 degrees and let it sit about 15 minutes while I made the vinaigrette. Temperature carried over to about 158 degrees.
The vinaigrette had way to much balsamic vinegar. Could not taste any garlic. Next time, I'll start with about 1/2 of what the recipe calls for and adjust it up if necessary. I'll also cut the adjusted vinairette recipe in half. It made quite a bit. I will try it again as i do beleive it enhanced the flavor of the roast, just a bit overpowering for our taste (family of 4.
Also, I'd check the garlic at 30 minutes as mine was done. At 60 minutes, we would have had garlic charcoal.
I will definately prepare another (and another ... boneless port loin with this recipe. -

I tweaked the recipe a little (as I am prone to do, I was very liberal with the extra virgin olive oil when roasting the garlic. I put the garlic in for 45 min then pulled it out and let it sit. I turned down the oven to 375 for the pork. I used salt and pepper on the pork then made a paste of onion powder, garlic salt, dried lavender and more olive oil. I poured the paste on the pork and let it cook for a little over an hour until the temp was right. When making the vinaigrette, I used less balsamic per the posts here and I added the leftover extra virgin olive oil that the garlic roasted in, this added an additional depth of garlic flavor. I also used dried parsley since I didn't have any fresh. All in all the pork came out moist and flavorful.. perfectly cooked and the vinaigrette was so tasty I had to pull out bread to soak in it. I got rave reviews from everyone.
This recipe was a disaster and a disappointment!! The garlic burned and my new roasting pan scorched! I suggest using a lower temperature than 475 degrees to bake the pork or substitute with a pork tenderloin.
While roasting the garlic (make sure you use enough olive oil or the garlic will get burnt and unusable it made my entire townhouse smell like an Italian restaurant. It only got better when I put the pork tenderloin in. Seeing as it was only my husband and myself, I only got about a 1 pound tenderloin, so I didn't cook it as long. First, though, I seared it off in a pan on each side, then put it in the oven to finish. It was great and my husband loved it! Can't wait to make sandwiches for lunch tomorrow!!! Thanks Giada!
I turned the heat down to 375 and cooked the roast a little longer. I decreased the balsamic by about half and wished I hadn't. The dressing just didn't have much flavor. It probably needed more salt. Booring, sorry Giada.
This recipe was delicious and extremely easy to prepare. Pork was moist and tasty (I patted a rather thick crust of kosher salt and pepper into it before cooking. Although some of the garlic burned and I was unable to use it, the viniagrette still tasted flavorful and well-balanced.
Too much balsamic. Didn't taste garlic but feeling it and even the taste of the olive oil was not good. Barely touched it. And at a high temp the pork got a tad dry/tough. I hardly take the time to do any reviews but this was bad enough I had to.
I made the vinaigrettel for loin chops that I just seasoned and grilled and enjoyed it. I agree with the reviews that the balsamic was a bit overpowering. I would just reduce the amount by a bit. Other than that, it was easy, elegant and delicious.

This was so good. The pork was very good and so easy to make. I thought the vinaigrette was really good. The garlic, balsalmic vinegar and olive oil tasted very good together. I made this meal for my husband and some family members and a few people didn't like the vinaigrette just because they don't really like balsalmic vinegar. But most of us really liked the vinaigrette and I thought it tasted sooo good on the pork. I just made a gravy for those that didn't like the vinaigrette. I made this with Giada's recipe for cheesy mashed potatoes which went with the pork very well, I thought.

Glassdoor is your free inside look at Kroger reviews and ratings — including employee satisfaction and approval rating for Kroger CEO David B. Dillon. All reviews posted anonymously by Kroger employees.
Former Employee – worked at Kroger part-time for more than 3 years
Pros – Flexible hours, great co-wokers, union benefits, raise every 6 months, job is protected by the union, so it's fairly difficult to get fired.
Cons – Poor management, crazy work hours, working holidays, union conflicts between managers and employees. There's a lot of favoritism toward certain employees, especially the ones who were relatives or friends of the managers. Due to the union it's almost impossible to get fired, so if they no longer wanted you, they will just cut your hours down to one 4 hour day a week until you just quit. Another downfall to the union was that a lot of employees were extremely lazy as a result because they knew they wouldn't lose their job for doing absolutely nothing, so that would mean the good workers would have to work twice as hard.
Advice to Senior Management – Stop with the favoritism and start rewarding the employees who really deserve it.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend
