Kanye West: The presidential bashing just keeps coming
First it was President Obama, who made headlines with his blunt assessment of Kanye West's boorish behavior at Sunday's MTV Video Music Awards, calling the hip-hop star a "jackass." (Even though there was an orgy of hand-wringing in media circles about whether ABC's Terry Moran should have Twittered the president's off-the-record quip, I always thought the real story was -- what is Obama doing watching the hopelessly tacky VMAs in the first place?)
But now Kanye is in trouble with another Oval Office occupant, former President Jimmy Carter, who, speaking at a town hall meeting at Emory University, called West's behavior "completely uncalled-for" and, showing off a surprisingly dry sense of humor, added that "his punishment was to appear on the new Jay Leno show."
I'm betting that before the week is over, our other living ex-presidents will feel obligated to comment on the controversy in their own special way:
George W. Bush: "Kanye West? Isn't that the guy who wrote 'My Pet Goat?' "
Bill Clinton: "I don't know about Kanye, but I sure would like to have some hush puppies with Amber Rose."
George H. W. Bush: "Never read 'My Pet Goat,' but I think a just punishment for Mr. West would be to read the damn book on 'Oprah' and see if he ever has any street cred afterward."

Mine and my brothers
I've enjoyed the resurgence of the big 3's muscle cars as well. I let my big block Ford go on ebay a few years back, and some of these re-boots have really caught my eye. I'm not a chevy guy, but I think they did a pretty nice job on that Camaro. I think dodge missed by a bit more with the challenger- from a looks standpoint the challenger may be the best of the 3, but putting it on the 300 frame made it too bulky- a full .6 and .5 slower than the mustang and camaro respectively from 0-60. They just left too much speed on the table by settling for an existing platform to bolt the body on.
I'm sure not going to disagree on any of those points. But the speed factor has never been a factor for me. I'd be completely happy owning a 67 Camaro with a 6 banger in it. Yeah, the speed and power are cool, but for me personally totally unnecessary. That's part of why I like the new Mustang because it has a range of options on it, from trim to motor size. They're covering all the bases. Are six cylinders true muscle cars? Nope, but see if you save a lot of money on a 67 Camaro because it only has a six cylinder instead of a 350. I'm at the point where I'd really like to own a vintage muscle car but now with the resurgence a newer model is ending up less expensive and more reliable. I'd lose some on the nostalgia, but the functionality would improve.
While I was in class today, my wife decided to take a drive to check out a replacement for our 1999 Olds Intrigue. After a long test drive and a bit of negotiation, she is on her way home with a 2007 Saab 9-3. I'm really glad that she was able to get this done by herself because this is going to be her primary vehicle. She's very excited about the purchase and I'm happy to be out of the 11 year old car maintenance business.

I am going to get involved in IPSC and I have ordered a Para Ordnance P16-40 limited. I need some advice as to what modifications I should have done to the gun to be competitive in the limited class

Actually, you can probably compete just fine with the gun as is. However, after I shot my P14-45 for a while, I had the gun high-gripped, the front strap checkered, a mag well added, and the front site replaced with a fiber-option version. Next will be a trigger job. But after all that work, the limiting factor is exactly what it was before: me. Ugh.

The first thing you do is get a new mag release. The one the gun comes with is plaastic and will become unreliable very quickly. New front optic front sight and you are ready to go. The sky is the limit basically, just depends on how much money you wish to put in the gun. The next edition for me would be a trigger job, smith and alexnader magwell, and tungsten guide rod to
add a little weight to the muzzle. If you want a bull barrel you can add it later. None of these really need to be done quickly except for the mag release, but out of the box you can go and compete with a para, just get a good gunsmith to go through it to make sure it is reliable. I also have 4 18rd sti tubes for sale for the para 40.

umstud - I can't remember if the Limited version of the P-16 has an ambi safety, but if not, you might consider one for IPSC. Get as many hi-cap mags you can afford for it as well. If you plan to use it strictly as your IPSC gun and don't plan to keep it loaded in the house or carry it, have the grip safety altered so it doesn't work. None of my competition guns grip safeties will work. Every serious shooter I have met has had their grip safety deactivated because it sometimes causes problems. For more info on this discuss it with the better IPSC shooters in your area.
Welcome to the sport, it's a lot of fun.

The really useful things I would do are:
Join a gun club so you can get more practice.
Mag well funnel, I like the Smith & Alexander which may require gunsmithing depending on how good you are with tools.
Lose the plastic mag catch, and replace it with a good metal one, I used an Ed Brown extented catch and it was a drop in part that actually dropped in.
A good trigger job is a must, mine is running around 2.5lbs.
Checkering the front strap is a good modification, but skate board tape is a cheap substitute that works great.
Borrow someones else's gun to try out a flat(or arched) mainspring housing to see which one fits your hand better. I have small hands, and I find that the flat mainspring housing works best for me.
Ambi safties are nice, but I haven't really used mine much. Extended safties are great, and I thinks yours already has one.
Get a good progressive reloading set up, like a dillon 550b, you'll need a lot of ammo.
As many hi-cap mags with extended baseplates as you can afford. I find 4 is minimum, but I get by on six. I'm using the Arrendondo base plates now, but if I were to do it over, I would get the Dawson pads because they are easier to take apart.
Get a couple of different weight recoil springs to see which works best with your gun/load. Then buy extras of which ever weight you settle on.
Don't buy any titianium parts, they're a waste of money.
I don't know anyone who still pins thier grip safties. There are so many different styles available now you'll be able to find one that will work for you if this is a problem.
If you find that you still have money left, let me know, I'll think up some more ways for you to spend it.

I see you are in Miami. You have one of the best IPSC gunsmiths in the world right there. His name is Dave Pruitt and he runs a gunsmithing company called Gun Doc. Call him at 305-477-2777 and then go out and visit. He can show you what the options are and what use they will be to you. Great gunsmith, great shooter and great guy.

MALDEN — Small talk is part of Jim Duggan's job as a taxi driver and he considers himself a natural at it, so after several minutes of silence while he drove two backpack-toting young men from the MBTA station here to Cambridge on the morning of April 14, he decided to engage them in light conversation.
They told him they were from Chechnya.
"Great day tomorrow for a marathon. You guys going?" he said he asked the passengers, whose backpacks were nearly left in his trunk at the end of the ride. The younger man, wearing a white baseball cap responded, "Ah, Boston Marathon."
Suddenly, the older customer, wearing a black baseball cap, cut the younger one off, yelling angrily at him in a foreign language, his outburst startling Duggan.
Duggan said he has described the encounter to two US Department of Homeland Security agents who showed up at his house last weekend, telling them how those customers told him to stop abruptly just several blocks from their stated destination, Norfolk Street, after his attempt at small talk and how he almost drove away with two heavy backpacks the men had placed in his trunk.
Duggan said he contacted the FBI last Friday after he realized that he may have provided transportation for Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 19, who allegedly planted the lethal bombs that exploded on Marathon Day. They lived on Norfolk Street in Cambridge and allegedly carried the two bombs they detonated in backpacks.
After calling the FBI, said Duggan, he received a call from the Homeland Security agents, who interviewed him for nearly an hour in his backyard in Malden.
Duggan said he called Malden police after talking with the federal authorities.
Malden Police Chief Kevin Molis confirmed Thursday that Duggan contacted his department and said a Malden detective who is part of a joint FBI task force spoke with Duggan and forwarded his report to the FBI.
"I can't speak about the nature of the investigation because federal authorities are completely handling it," Molis said.
The Department of Homeland Security and FBI did not respond to requests for comment Thursday.
Duggan says he is certain that the two men he picked up are the same ones he viewed in the FBI's widely circulated surveillance video of the suspects, which he did not see for several days. On Thursday, he grew emotional when he spoke of how they screamed and banged on the side of his taxi as he started driving away before they had removed their backpacks from the trunk.
"They certainly wanted to get my attention, because they slammed their hands repeatedly on the back: Bang, bang, bang!" he said.
Duggan said he realized he had forgotten about the bags, so he stopped, popped his trunk and got out.
"They were angry at me, so I tell them, 'Excuse me, I'm a human being. I made a mistake, and I'm sorry.' "
Duggan said that when he opened the trunk and lifted the dark backpack the older man had carried, he was shocked by its weight.
"It was as full as it could be, and it was very heavy, so heavy that I had to brace myself and try to lift it again," said Duggan, estimating that the bag weighed more than 20 pounds but less than 50.
The older man started screaming again and snatched the backpack from Duggan.
"I told him to relax, that I was just trying to help," Duggan said.
Duggan said he remarked to the older customer, "You know what, that is the most packed backpack I've ever picked up. I don't know what you got in there, but, hey, have a nice day."
The interaction with those customers remained on Duggan's mind for several days.
"I kept remembering that kid in the white polo cap. During the ride I asked him where he got the cap, and he said the Wrentham Mall."
Duggan said he woke up last Friday at 2:30 a.m. for work. He had fallen asleep with the television on, and as he sat up and stretched on his bed, he saw a news account about the suspects. He heard the reporter mention Norfolk Street.
"And that's when I knew," Duggan said.Brian Ballou can be reached at email@example.com. Follow him on Twitter @GlobeBallou.

Florida requires permits for wildlife possession, exhibition and sale.
Commercial and private facilities must have permits for many types of native and nonnative animals - including potentially dangerous animals, such as Florida black bears and Florida panthers. These facilities include zoos, circuses, alligator farms, pet shops, tropical fish farms and individuals who own a class I, II or III animal (see wildlife categories).
Florida has nearly 1,300 native species of fish and wildlife. It also has become home to nearly 300 species of nonnative fish and wildlife. Florida's subtropical climate is ideal for many foreign species to survive. If these species escape or are released, they can easily become established here.
The FWC enforces the statutes and regulations governing Florida's wildlife industry.
FWC officers routinely conduct inspections to ensure humane treatment and sanitary conditions are in place for the animals, and cage and security requirements are adhered to for public safety. The FWC's regulations, relative to cage sizes, safety and humane treatment, are among the most stringent in the nation.

I gave four out of five because the mesh isn't going to last.

Although she was an Oscar-nominated songwriter, Dory Previn was better known for ballads that spoke to wounded souls. A gifted lyricist, she mined her traumatic childhood and later mental illness to write confessional songs that found an audience — and helped her heal.
In one song, "Beware of Young Girls," she expressed her outrage over being left in the late 1960s by her husband and songwriting partner, Andre Previn, for actress Mia Farrow:
Beware of young girls
Too often they crave to cry
At a wedding and dance on a grave
Soon after her marriage broke up, Dory Previn had a breakdown. Institutionalized for several months, she "started writing, to get some order out of chaos," she later said. She emerged with a sheaf of lyrics that marked the start of her solo singing-songwriting career.
Previn died Tuesday at her home in Southfield, Mass., according to her husband, Joby Baker. She was 86.
While a junior lyricist at MGM, she met Andre Previn and they collaborated throughout the 1960s. They received Academy Award nominations for "Faraway Part of Town," sung by Judy Garland in "Pepe," and for "Second Chance" from "Two for the Seesaw."
As their marriage unraveled, the couple did some of their most popular work writing songs for 1967's "Valley of the Dolls," a soundtrack that spent six months on the charts.
Her final Oscar nomination came for "Come Saturday Morning," a melancholy number co-written with composer Fred Karlin for "The Sterile Cuckoo," a 1969 film with Liza Minnelli.
By then, Dory Previn was largely through with Hollywood, although she won an Emmy in 1983 for co-writing music for the television movie "Two of a Kind" starring George Burns and Robby Benson.
During her hospital stay, she had written candidly of her abusive father and observed what it was like to have a nervous breakdown. When the searingly personal songs were hard to sell, Previn recorded "On My Way to Where," the first of six albums she released in the 1970s.
The "amazingly revealing song collection has brought her out of the shadows — the shadow of her husband as well as the shadows of her mind," The Times review said when the album was released.
A follow-up album, "Mythical Kings and Iguanas," sold well, and another, "Reflections in a Mud Puddle," made it onto critics' "best of" lists in 1972.
"What I've tried to do," Previn said in 1971 in Time magazine, "is bring the madness out in the open. Keep it under wraps, and it erupts into wars and violence."
She was born Dorothy Langan on Oct. 22, 1925, in New Jersey and grew up in Woodbridge, N.J. Her father, Michael Langan, was a raging depressive who refused to acknowledge his paternity.
When Dory was about 10, he barricaded her, along with her mother and infant sister, in the family's dining room for more than four months. In the song "I Ain't His Child," Previn asks:
Anybody I might
Have missed
Would you care to state
That I exist
I ain't quite sure
What it is
I did
To make him swear
That I ain't
His kid
A frustrated musician, her father pushed Dory to perform. She was singing in saloons by age 11 and after graduating from high school studied drama in New York.
She was presenting her own songs in small venues when a club manager told her, "Your performance is not so hot — but your material is good," and then sent samples to MGM producer Arthur Freed, Previn told The Times in 1968.
A reluctant performer, Previn knew her "tiny voice" was limited but good enough to "communicate the ideas of her songs," she once said.
At MGM, she started out writing lyrics as Dory Langdon and switched to Dory Previn after marrying the composer in 1959.
Her lyrics for the "Theme From Valley of the Dolls" were more personal than most people knew, she told People magazine in 1977. Written when she was "taking a lot of pills," she started the song by writing:
Gotta get off, gonna get
Have to get off from this ride
Gotta get hold, gonna get
Need to get hold of my pride
Often praised for their craftsmanship and humor, her songs "were too close to the nerve to gain mass public acceptance," the magazine said.
She went on to write two autobiographies; the play "Mary C. Brown and the Hollywood Sign," which closed in 1972 after a week of previews at the Shubert Theatre; and the script and music for the 1973 TV movie "The Third Girl From the Left."
Dory once again collaborated with Andre on "The Magic Number," a work for orchestra and voice that premiered in 1997 in New York. The two had become friendly after his then-wife asked Dory to be the godmother of their child, Dory told the New York Times in 1997.
Living in a folk-art filled home in the Hollywood Hills in 1977, Previn had essentially given up songwriting when she proclaimed to People: "I've had it with angst. I'm now into hope."
In addition to Baker, a painter she met in the 1970s and married in 1984, Previn is survived by three stepchildren and six stepgrandchildren.

By Jeff Fox
The nation's challenges are not unprecedented but Washington's political capacity to deal with even the routine business of governing is a cause for great concern, said this year's winner of an award named for President Harry Truman.
"This situation is worse than anything I've seen in a long career in Washington," Alice M. Rivlin, former vice chair of the Federal Reserve, said Tuesday during a luncheon in Kansas City in which she was given the Truman Medal for Economic Policy.
She spoke warmly of Truman and drew parallels to President Obama, and she walked through America's economic and political history. Specifically, she said, the nation's separation of powers and two-party system require debate and compromise – a process she said has entirely broken down.
"I'm afraid we're in for a period of lurching from crisis to crisis, which is totally unnecessary," she said.
Rivlin, 82, served in the Lyndon Johnson administration in the 1960s and in 1975 became the first director of the Congressional Budget Office. She was deputy director and then director of the Office of Management and Budget under President Bill Clinton and then was named to the Federal Reserve. She is the fifth recipient of the Truman Medal, which is given every other year, in part to recognize that the Council of Economic Advisors, which serves each president, came into being in 1946, when Truman was in office.
Rivlin said there are striking similarities between Truman and Obama. Both faced intense partisan opposition, both worked hard and were essentially optimistic about America, and both saw themselves as Washington outsiders.
"Both presidents have been vilified by the press and the other party, and both have been called socialists – whatever that means," she said.
Truman, she pointed out, "embraced the unfinished business of (Franklin Roosevelt's) New Deal with enthusiasm" and that included national health insurance, which never came to pass and which Truman considered a bitter failure.
"The result of that failure was decades of building a patchwork of a system" that the country has now, she said. The Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare, is "a much more free-market plan than Harry Truman's," she said.
Truman left office low in the polls but is today highly regarded, and the country looks back on that time as prosperous and promising. So, Rivlin asked, should we take comfort in Truman's experience, or is the country so deeply divided that it cannot survive without significant political changes?
"I don't know," she said, "but I'm worried."
By any measure, she said, Americans are more prosperous now than in Truman's time, when America was emerging from a decade and a half of depression and war. There was, she reminded the audience, a very real fear that the country would go right back into a depression once the war ended.
"The memories of those hardships were fresh," she said.
Contrast that with today's slow economic growth, the demographic challenges of an aging population, public anger at government aid for large banks but not for Main Street, and a general sense that the country has become less prosperous, she said.
Still, she said, major issues are solvable. She gave the example of Social Security.
"It isn't badly broken, and it needs to be put back on a solid foundation," she said.
But there are obstacles, as evidenced by the current government shutdown. The country has an intentional separation of powers, federalism makes implementation of things such as the Affordable Care Act far more complicated, and the two political parties have moved away from the middle, she said.
"But most important, 'compromise' has become a dirty word," she said.
The Truman Medal is given by four groups: the Harry S. Truman Library Institute (a private, non-profit partner of the Truman Library), the Missouri Council on Economic Education, the Economic Club of Kansas City, and the Henry W. Bloch School of Management at the University of Missouri-Kansas City.

Rams Fall in Conference Game at Kean
Kean University - 18, Farmingdale State - 3
Union, N.J. - Sophomore Anthony Bertucci (Edison, N.J.) netted a team-high four goals as the Kean University men's lacrosse team defeated Farmingdale State, 18-3, Wednesday evening at Kean Alumni Stadium.
With the win the Cougars improved to 9-5 overall and 2-2 in the Skyline Conference. The loss drops the Rams to 2-8 on the season and 0-3 in conference play.
Both teams battled early, trading goals in the first period. Farmingdale took their only lead of the match with what would end up being their last goal of the evening. Freshman Joey Stroessenreuther (Bethpage, N.Y.) put the Rams up 3-2 off an assist from freshman Eddie Rifice (Babylon, N.Y.). The Cougars scored the final two goals of the first period to tie things up and take the lead for good. Senior Dennis Novello (Freehold, N.J.) knotted the score at three off an assist from junior Chris DeCarlo (Sandy, Utah). Bertucci put KU up for good with just 1:30 remaining in the first period off an assist by Brian MacConnell (West Islip, N.Y.).
The Cougars would then go on to score the final 14 goals of the match, recording six in the second period, and four a piece in the final two frames.
The Rams will return to action on Saturday, April 19th in the final home game of the regular season against Skyline opponent Mount Saint Vincent at 1:00 p.m. The game will feature senior day for Joe Meola, Jay Berndt, James Vaz, Nate Larrea and Michael Butler, Jr.

Polish playwright Slawomir Mrozek buried in Krakow
WARSAW, Poland (AP) — Dissident playwright Slawomir Mrozek, considered by many to be one of Poland's greatest writers for the stage, was buried during a state ceremony on Tuesday.
People waited in the rain in the southern historic city of Krakow, where Mrozek's career began, to sign a condolence book. Then a hearse drawn by two black horses took the metal urn to its resting place at St. Peter and Paul church. The funeral Mass was conducted by Archbishop Stanislaw Dziwisz, who served as a personal secretary of the late Pope John Paul II.
President Bronislaw Komorowski posthumously awarded Mrozek the Grand Cross of the Order of Poland's Rebirth, in recognition of his contribution to Poland's culture.
"We are bidding farewell to a master of wise grotesque that was filled with deep thought," Culture Minister Bogdan Zdrojewski said during the service, which was attended by other government officials and Mrozek's publishers from Poland and abroad.
Poland completed its transformation from a communist to a democratic country in 1989. Long before then, Mrozek made his name with surrealistic, satirical plays, notably the 1964 "Tango," which slyly ridiculed communism.
He also made pointed but skeptical observations about human nature. That convoluted form protected Mrozek from censorship and allowed for his works to be staged in Poland.
Some critics say that "Tango" is a contemporary "Hamlet" in which the son revolts against the values of his parents. It also shows how unscrupulous, brutal force seizes power at a time of clashes between different systems of values.
"Tango" and some of his other plays, including one-act pieces such as "Striptease" and "Out at Sea," were staged in London and Off Broadway, and were ranked along with the works of French dramatist Eugene Ionesco. Both deal with the individual sense of freedom and with a group's power of manipulation.
Born in 1930 in Borzecin, near Krakow, Mrozek tried studying art and architecture but did finish his studies. Instead, he became a cartoonist and a reporter, but soon switched to writing short stories and plays, gaining critical acclaim, especially with "Tango."
A communist party member at first, he was stripped of his passport after criticizing Poland's participation in the 1968 Soviet-led invasion of Czechoslovakia to crush its Prague Spring reforms. He remained in France, where he was at the time.
Mrozek also lived in Italy, Mexico and the United States before returning to Poland for a few years in 1996.
He died on Aug. 15 in Nice, France, where he had moved in 2008.
He is survived by his second wife, Susana Osorio-Mrozek.

Community involvement is vital to all students, whether they have special needs or not.
Students at the Reddix Center are exploring different ways to be connected in and out of school by partnering with businesses to build employment skills, and by volunteering with meals on wheels.
"This is a great way to promote public awareness of individuals with special needs and their capabilities to give back," said Principal Robin Fields. "As well as working at these various sites helps them to develop their independence. It keeps them connected with people and themselves."

What is Succession Planning & How Does It Impact My Agency?
OPM's succession management plan is a fundamental component of our overall human capital planning priority. It supports our workforce planning by providing direction for managing critical leadership development resources and helps ensure the best use of those resources to achieve organizational goals and objectives. It also provides a mechanism for assuring continuity of leadership by creating a methodical process to identify leadership needs and to develop plans to meet those needs. The plan also supports the identification of highly talented individuals who have exceptional talent and performance and should be identified and advanced based on merit. Our succession management plan supports overall employee development. Employees are often hired knowing that they will require continued training to meet the needs of their jobs, and succession management helps justify the cost of training devoted to leadership development.
Problem: Baby Boomers are and will be retiring at record rates which equates to a loss of a large percentage of our Federal Leadership workforce. So, the question is - How do we keep the talent pool filled with innovative, creative, forward-thinking and dynamic individuals given under these
The Solution: A succession plan begins with a thorough understanding of the structure of functions the organization needs to reach strategic goals which includes agency mission. Positions that fill the organizational design can then be determined. Once the positions are clarified, then the determination about critical positions can be assessed. Important to this concept is that strategic succession planning is not about talents the organization needs now; rather, it is projecting the talent, knowledge, skills and competencies needed for the future of an agency/organization. With this fundamental premise, it becomes clearer that the purpose of a leadership development program is not just to ensure that that students graduate, but also to fill leadership positions. Measures of success for a leadership program should not be limited to the number of graduates, enthusiasm of participants, or even the learning level of participants. The reason for sustaining leadership development is to put highly qualified people into critical positions. The measure of effectiveness is how many leadership positions are filled due to the organization's leadership development strategy. The target does not, necessarily, need to be 100 percent of positions filled by program graduates. STAY CURRENT: (What are other organizations doing in this area?) A leadership development program should be included in the broader strategy to fill critical positions. Leadership development projected output needs to work in concert with recruitment planning for filling different levels of leadership positions. Looking at trends which describe new sources executive management, and first-level supervisory incumbents could be useful. Determining how these trends should and can be adjusted helps guide a strategy for succession management planning. OPM's last completed Succession Planning Study (from 2010) reviewed all Leadership positions to determine their succession planning risk level. This was done by senior leadership and the HR department taking a fresh look at who internally could fill leadership positions with a liklihood of turnover; and if candidates did not exist, external pools had to be identified to full the positions. As a result of the analysis and research, all OPM's leadership positions received either a moderate or low succession risk level -- no positions are currently at a succession planning high risk level. FIND OPPORTUNITIES & RESOURCES:The way in which positions are filled can also play a vital role in change management and culture transition. If an organization's culture is described as stagnant, safe, and lacking creativity, a strategic decision to consider may be to fill more leadership roles from outside the organization rather than from inside progression. If an organization's leadership is perceived to be highly effective, motivational, thriving and customer focused, then the strategic decision may be to promote from within. Both recruiting and development strategies would be developed to compliment the desired organizational culture. First, accelerate development of candidates ready to move into leadership positions. Second, retain people in the leadership positions until candidates are considered ready to compete for those positions. Third, recruit individuals with technical and management experience to move immediately into the leadership positions. Fourth, reorganize functions and positions to meet the mission with the talent from the first three options. DISCOVER HELPFUL TOOLS & RESOURCES:The Corporate Leadership Council developed a Workforce Planning Support Toolkit that agencies may find helpful in managing furture talent needs as well as addressing succession management plans. For additional information see: Corporate Leadership Council Succession Planning.If it is projected that there is insufficient availability of talent to fill all the positions needed to meet the mission, and the mission will not change, then reorganizing positions may be needed. The span of control and number of reporting levels may need to be adjusted to meet the mission with available leadership talent. These concepts are are detailed in OPM'S informative manual written by OPM's Human Capital Assessment Team: A Guide to the Strategic Leadership Succession Management Model.
Other resources on OPM's website include an outline of the Succession Planning Process and Effective Succession Strategies.
TIPS & TOOLS: There are some very good resources available on the web that might be useful. Check out the free Management Library for a plethora of information and tips on this topic including a succession planning toolkit: Succession Planning. The Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) is also a great resource for succession planning and other HR-related information.

Marty's US RV Set to Reopen as Camping World
August 12, 2013 by RVBusiness Comments Off on Marty's US RV Set to Reopen as Camping World
Since June, Monsour "Marty" Hanoud has been wrapping up a 42-year run in the retail world of recreational vehicles — the past 22 of which were dedicated to owning and operating Marty's US RV in Berkley, Mass.
The Taunton Daily Gazette reported that Hanoud, 66, sold the business to Marcus Lemonis, chairman and CEO of Camping World Inc. and Good Sam Enterprises LLC. The store has been closed since then for extensive renovations.
Camping World, which bills itself as the nations' largest RV retailer, is a subsidiary of Good Sam Enterprises, an organization for RV owners that offers roadside assistance, technical tips, extended warranties and other services. The 39-year-old Lemonis, who also hosts a weekly reality show on CNBC called "The Profit," said he's known Hanoud for well over a decade.
"He's created a pretty amazing legacy in the RV industry. He's a real pioneer," Lemonis said.
Hanoud said Lemonis made an offer in 2004 to buy his business. "But business was great, and my daughter said 'No, I want to run daddy's business,'" Hanoud said.
Danielle Hanoud, who was in college at the time, along with brother Marc went on to help her father run the business.
Now that her dad is stepping aside she's been named general manager of what either will be called Camping World of Boston or Camping World of Berkley, the latter of which she strongly favors.

I would like to use a lexan film 0.007" as bottom/top sheet for my kiteboard as here in Mexico seems impossible to find Durasurf or PBT and I have try to work with PETG but it is to heavy at 0.020" (which is as thinnest that I can get here) and I found that PETG (lost its flexibility after the resin is cure it tends to break if you bend it)
And lexan is an interesting material for its high impact strength, its transparency, anti-UV treatment and the possibility of applying killer graphics.
But I can seem to find way to make a successfully bond. I'm using a pneumatic press at 80psi (kind like a snowboard) using epoxy + fiberglass and I try to flame treatment this film with a flame torch but nothing (maybe I'm doing it wrong)
with PETG I have success doing it this flame treatment by hand but I'm sure there is a better way to do it, right?
I hear something about chemical Etching but don't know how its done or if it works on Lexan
the main reason I want to work with a strong material is because I want to hit rails and kickers whit it.
other options I have in my country is to use
Polyester film 0.005"
PVC film 0.010"
PET film 0.008"
does anybody can help me a Little anything would be great

Hollie Greig alleged in 2000 that she was the victim of a paedophile gang in Aberdeen. Her mother Anne was forcibly sectioned within days of the allegations being made. Hollie was awarded £13,500 from the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority in spite of the fact that no-one was ever charged with any crime. THIS IS A SINGLE-ISSUE, HUMANITARIAN CAMPAIGN WITH NO CONNECTION TO ANY OTHER CAUSES.
Thursday, November 17, 2011
Compare And Contrast
I would remind everyone that Hollie received a payment of £13,500 from the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority in spite of the fact that no-one was ever charged with any crime. I am well aware that the standard of proof required to justify a compensation payment is less than that to secure a criminal conviction, however, what can be established beyond reasonable doubt is that no investigation worthy of the name was carried out by Grampian Police following Hollie's allegations.
The so-called "investigation" consisted of one interview each with two members of Hollie's family.
The other alleged abusers were not interviewed due to the fact that their names did not appear on police records and the police could not establish any links between them.
The other persons whom Hollie named as victims were not interviewed.
To the best of my knowledge, no attempt was made to gather forensic evidence.
There were no searches made of any of the properties where abuse was alleged to have taken place.
No attempt was made to have Hollie questioned by a doctor or a psychiatrist.

Very good point well made.ReplyDelete
My understanding was that the practice of witch-hunting ceased in Scotland way back in 1727.
Odd too that you are not even a witch!
I wonder when our 18th century legal apparatchik's will eventually see the light that the rest of us can see in the 21st century?
Even the kangaroos are objecting to the guilt by association!
I was paid criminal injuries compensation too, no police investigation, just persecution from police and CPS and courts like Robert has had. Talk about shoot the messenger, the victim is treated like a criminal and the perpetrators get off scott free, its a travesty of injustice rather than justice. There must be someone very big being protected at the highest levels and indeed evidence will prove it.ReplyDelete
Robert, Hollie and Anne, you are in my thoughts daily and included in my prayers, may those responsible for all the wrongs you have suffered and continue to suffer, face the roth of our creator and saviour, they have sold their very souls. God bless you all and protect you all, with love. xxxReplyDelete

Regarding the statement that people werent questioned because the police say there were no "links" between those suspected of the crime{s} by this ridiculous criteria if you are, say, a seasoned bank robber, and you should unwittingly rob a bank whilst in the company of, say, someone who has been convicted of being drunk and disorderly a few times then as there is no discernable and obvious link between the 2 people {the robber + the drunk} does the drunk not get questioned even though he is named + shamed by a competeant witness {H Greig} and the case not get investigated? This reasoning is totally flawed and no responsible police force or officer would dream of saying or acting on such a ridiculous theory. And no reponsible officer would order a bed mattress to be taken from an abode if it is suspected there is DNA evidence on it which would tie someone to a crime of the nature we have here. How sickening that we - the public - have to pay these liars and cheats wages week in week out when it is so obvious a peoper investigation is needed by honest people.ReplyDelete
robert my wife we met you in stokeReplyDelete
was apart of child abuse in care remember the sisters of nazzereth house in aberdeen and glasgow same problem we was shut up no compensation and the people involved let off scot free
robert keep up the good work justice will be done as long as you stick with it god bless you hollie deserves justice
It concerns me that, apart from the serious failures in relation to crimes commmitted against Hollie Greig that the Police have never investigated appropriately, she is unlikely she is the only one to have been a victim of these perpetrators. I doubt very much that she is an isolated case.ReplyDelete
This paedophile activity tends to be part of a group of sickos who are all involved in the abuse.
It is probable that Hollie is one of a number of children who have been subjected to appalling crimes. What action have the Police taken to investigate the wider picture and paedophile group activity in relation to this?
It is apparent that the Police would rather act to cover up the crimes and protect the perpetrators, than investigate to bring the people responsible to court. In so doing, they have targetted Robert as he poses a threat to their perversion of the course of justice.
It is reminiscent of the child abuse in the North Wales care homes. This was covered up for decades. Those that tried to expose the horrendous acts of abuse lost their jobs. In the cases in North Wales, many of the perpetrators were prominent people, cabinet members, politicians, businessmen, and also in the Police. Is Hollie's case similar to these?
The stench of Police malfeasance, Misconduct in Public Office and criminal cover up is overwhelming.
Fascinating legal developments over the past few days with Lord Carloway's Review of Scotland's medieval(il) Justice System, which seeks to start to change the the legal unfairness, measured against all other decent society's Judicial Systems.ReplyDelete
Especially with reference to the unfairness with respect to corroboration of evidence, which is relevant in this case.
Somewhat odd that Kenny McAskill's response to the proposed changes to corroboration was that, 'We did not want this...'.
Who is the 'We'?
Is this the bold Ken talking on behalf of the Scottish People again or just the Law Society of Scotland/Crown Office?
The second revelation was regarding the Adrian Prout murder of his wife disclosure on the family farm.
The relevance being that the police obtained the break-through evidence, after years of denial by the perpetrator of the crime, by lie-detector examination, which Mr Prout failed and then confessed-All.
It would seem that this would afford the Crown a speedy remedy in this case, were they to substantiate the veracity of their witnesses by allowing them to take a lie-detector examination.
Afterall, If they are all bona fide, they will enthusiastically welcome the offer to prove-it.
This will also have the benefit of saving the tax-payer a fortune on a largely wasteful exercise in vindictiveness.

After adjusting bclock to 120MHz, OC 3.1GHz - Debian Whezzy Testing with Linux kernel 3.2 refuses to boot from SATA HDD - can't wait for root device, no /dev/disk/by-uuid/... etc. When i boot other GNU/Linux system from USB, it boots, works ok, however SATA is not visible. I have also Windows Vista, boots fine, works stable. Anything higher than 5% (105MHz bclk) makes GNU/Linux blind for SATA, . SATA mode in BIOS (IDE, AHCI, RAID) doesn't matter. So, do you have some ideas how to make it work with Debian?

A laser can be used to destroy genital warts.
Laser surgery may be done in a doctor's office or clinic, a hospital, or an outpatient surgery centre. Local or general anesthetic may be used depending on the number of warts to be removed or the size of the area to be treated.
For women, abnormal cervical cell changes caused by HPV will be treated differently than genital warts caused by HPV. Your doctor may recommend certain types of surgery, such as laser surgery. For more information about surgical methods to treat abnormal cell changes, see the topic Abnormal Pap Test.
Recovery time depends on the location and number of warts removed. Healing usually occurs within 2 to 4 weeks.
For men and women who have had laser surgery, call your doctor if you have any of the following:
Avoid sexual intercourse until the treated area heals and the soreness is gone (usually 1 to 3 weeks, depending on the size of the area treated).
Laser surgery may be done when:
In studies, laser surgery removed warts in about 40 out of 100 people. But warts may return after surgery.1
Laser surgery is a safe treatment for pregnant women.
Laser surgery may cause any of the following:
Doctors usually use laser surgery for genital warts after other treatments have failed. Laser surgery for the treatment of genital warts is more expensive than many other treatment methods.
There are concerns that laser treatment may increase the risk of having warts return by destroying the local immune system, allowing inactive viruses to become active.
Laser surgery requires specialized training and equipment. Some experts believe that the skill of the doctor performing the laser surgery affects surgical success. People thinking about laser surgery for genital warts should ask the doctor how many times he or she has done this procedure and about his or her success rate.
Warts that are difficult to treat may be managed by adding other treatments, such as fluorouracil. Genital warts may be treated with fluorouracil before or after laser surgery.
An advantage of laser surgery is that adjacent and deep tissue is not damaged during laser treatment.
Treating genital warts may not cure a human papillomavirus (HPV) infection. The virus may remain in the body in an inactive state after warts are removed. A person treated for genital warts may still be able to spread the infection. Condoms may help reduce the risk of HPV infection.
The benefits and effectiveness of each type of treatment need to be compared with the side effects and cost. Discuss this with your doctor.

Sofia Vergara relieved she was replaced in The Paperboy
The Modern Family star was originally cast as the leading lady in Lee Daniels' 2012 film, but she had to bow out due to scheduling conflicts and Kidman was drafted in.
Now the Latina beauty admits she wasn't right for the part of sex-crazed Charlotte, who urinates on Zac Efron's character after he is stung by a jelly fish.
Vergara tells Us Weekly magazine, "It was a fun role. I was so glad that I didn't have to pee in anyone's face, though. I was glad it was not me. For (Kidman), that's nothing. For me, it would have been three weeks of stress. 'How am I going to pee in there?'"
However, the actress insists she would love to tackle a drama in the future, adding, "I have no limitations and I believe in directors directing and if they see something - for example Paperboy, when I auditioned three times with Lee Daniels the director and he said, 'Yeah, you can do the role.' I was like, 'OK, if you say I can do the role, I'll do it.' If I do auditions and the director thinks I can do it, then I'll do it."

An update from Chris:
Right now, it's 2:02 a.m. Monday. In a few hours we head back to Dallas to spend the rest of our winter breaks celebrating the holidays with our families. But, when I initially signed up for an Alternative Breaks trip, I didn't realize that I would leave with yet another family.
Cheesy, I know, but during this AB trip to Austin, I gained 10 siblings, all from diverse backgrounds and majors. I became their surrogate little brother, and both fortunately and unfortunately I was constantly reminded of it. But as I sit here with tears dripping down my cheeks, I sure am going to miss this place.
Upon arrival, our AB group noticed the absence of an AB'er named "Joel" who was listed on the welcome poster. We double-checked the roster of our onsite members and found out Joel lived in the basement of our imagination. Throughout the trip we witnessed the actions of Joel through his supernatural acts. With every gust of wind, we could hear the echo of Joel. With every mysterious slamming of a door inside our residence, we wondered, "Was that Joel?" While we were watching The Notebook on the third day as a bonding activity, the TV went blank, fuzzy, and loud. We concluded, it must've been Joel acting out. But in the end, we realized we had to continue our service in the spirit of Joel.
Every day, I woke up to the smell of a hearty breakfast cooked by none other than Calla, Gabriella and/or Paul (it takes a collaborative effort to cook for an army of 11). Pancakes, sausage, eggs, and cereal graced every inch of our table as we sustainably created and improvised meals. We were on the worksite by 9:30 every morning and left around 4 every afternoon. The nonprofit organization we served, Blackland Community Development Corporation (BCDC), focuses on the enhancement of a community for low-income families.
What is interesting about this initiative is that the BCDC Board of Directors live in the community as well. We get to go home, but the directors live in the community they serve in. Their personal lives and their philanthropy are in direct correspondence with their actions. We as SMU students received an exclusive tour from the director, Chris. We were able to meet several of the residents and immediately got to see that they could use our assistance. Even among activists you don't find that connection; this group is serving for the right reasons. As Chris gave us our tour he was waving to the people driving down the street; it was great to see that the bond he had with the residents wasn't superficial.
Overall, I had such an awesome time with Alternate Breaks. Through this invaluable volunteer opportunity I've learned not only the value of service but also what it means to have compassion for others who are less fortunate. On a personal level, I've also had the privilege of being around some of the most lovable people I've met in my life who I can proudly call my family at SMU.

Lou DiBella says he was "weirdly at peace" during the thrilling 12th round of last Saturday's middleweight championship fight between Sergio Martinez and Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. in Las Vegas. Martinez dominated the first 11 rounds, then was hurt and knocked down early in the 12th and looked as if he might be stopped.
DiBella, Martinez's promoter, should have been horrified watching his star on the verge of losing a fight he easily had won. But DiBella insists he was not on the verge of a breakdown as Martinez battled back on wobbly legs to survive the round and recapture the WBC middleweight championship at the Thomas & Mack Center. A replay of the fight will be shown on HBO at 9:30 Saturday night. If you watch one round of boxing all year, watch the 12th.
"I wasn't dying," DiBella said this week. "I was very in the moment. I was watching Sergio and thinking how proud I was to be his promoter. He didn't hug and hold. He got up, half out of it, and started slugging away and throwing bombs, continuing to fight like he was fighting for his life and his career. That was inspiring."
Martinez's victory means there's another lucrative pay day ahead for him and DiBella Entertainment, the New York-based promotional company that continues to hold its own against the giants of the boxing industry, Golden Boy Promotions and Top Rank.
Perhaps part of the reason DiBella actually could enjoy the finish of Martinez-Chavez is after a dozen years in the business, he has developed a track record that goes beyond one fight or even one fighter. Along with establishing Broadway Boxing as a well-known brand on the East Coast, Martinez is the latest of a number of champions DiBella has groomed. They include Jermain Taylor, the late Leavander Johnson, Andre Berto, Randall Bailey and Paulie Malignaggi.
"We've been able to stay in business at a time where the business is really dominated by the guys that have [Manny] Pacquiao and [Floyd] Mayweather," DiBella said. "We're like the little engine that could. We're just always chugging along."
Martinez and Chavez appear headed for a rematch, though Chavez faces disciplinary action from the Nevada State Athletic Commission after a post-fight drug test came up positive for marijuana. Martinez also will need time to heal after breaking a bone in his hand and suffering a knee injury that could require surgery.
It's all part of the ups and downs and uncertainties of a business DiBella has been at the forefront of since serving as the head of programming for HBO Sports. From fighters who did not reach their potential to fighters jumping to another promotional company, DiBella has learned to live with the disappointments of being a promoter as much as the successes.
"Saturday night was a great success," DiBella said of the Martinez-Chavez fight. "Sergio's going to be a money maker for fights to come. But I still have to keep looking for the next young guy to come and take care of all the other guys I have under contract and make sure they get their opportunities. It's not an easy business. But it's the one I've chosen."
DiBella Entertainment, along with East Coast promoters Star Boxing and Gary Shaw Productions, are putting on a tripleheader next Saturday at the MGM Grand at Foxwoods. Edwin "La Bomba" Rodriguez (21-0, 14 KOs) of Worcester, Mass., will headline against Jason Escalera (13-0-1, 12 KOs) of Union City, N.J. HBO's Boxing After Dark will televise. Tickets remain on sale.
Fans are encouraged to attend Monday's press conference to announce the Dec. 1 WBA super middleweight title fight between Puerto Rican superstar Miguel Cotto and champion Austin Trout of Las Cruces, N.M. The fight is set for Madison Square Garden. The press conference will be at El Museo del Barrio on Fifth Ave. at East 104th Street, with doors opening at 11:30 a.m. Showtime will televise the bout. Tickets go on sale Tuesday.

Emeco's 111 Navy Chair: Made From Plastic Coca-Cola Bottles
Emeco, the manufacturer behind the iconic aluminum Navy chair (designed for it's strength and lightness on Naval ships!), has teamed up with the Coca-Cola Company to produce the new 111 Navy Chair. The chair's name is derived from the fact that plastic from approximately 111 soda bottles is used to make the chair. That equates to the potential recycling of three million bottles per year!
Modeled after the original aluminum Emeco Navy Chair (#1006) designed in 1944 for the U.S. Navy, each 111 Navy Chair contains a mix of 60 percent rPET plastic (recycled polyethylene terephthalate plastic) and a special combination of other materials including pigment and glass fiber for strength. According to Coke, "The goal of the 111 Navy project was to alter consumer behavior by illustrating the value of rPET with beautifully designed and everyday products — ultimately encouraging more recycling."
The 111 Navy Chair carries a 5-year structural guarantee. The new 111 Navy Chair is available in six colors: Red, Snow, Flint Gray, Grass Green, Persimmon and Charcoal. Snow, Flint and Red can be used outdoors. The new chair has a distinctive, "velvet" finish that is scratch resistant.
The chair officially launches at the Milan Furniture Fair on April 14 and will be available for purchase from Emeco (with shipments in June) or Design Within Reach in May for $230.

To leverage the efforts of multiple cities pursuing evaluations of LED street lighting products, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has announced plans to form a Municipal Solid-State Street Lighting Consortium. The consortium will collect, analyze, and share technical information and experiences related to LED street lighting demonstrations.
The consortium will provide a forum for entities with similar backgrounds and needs to share information, ask questions, and tap into a large body of knowledge and experience that will help maximize the value of their dollars spent evaluating LED street lighting.
Membership will be open to municipalities, utilities, and energy-efficiency organizations. DOE expects to launch the consortium in September 2009. To learn more, visit the DOE SSL Web site.

(DALLAS) — A Dallas woman has sued a national fitness company, alleging two employees sexually harassed her during personal training sessions.
Jamie Johnson filed a lawsuit against Fitness International LLC, which does business under the name LA Fitness, after the company denied her requests for a full refund after she told them she had been subjected to sexually explicit comments by two personal trainers.
Johnson joined the gym at the end of 2011, and paid for additional personal training sessions. Her attorney, Chase Laws, said her first trainer was great, but things quickly went wrong with her second trainer.
"He started by making inappropriate comments to her," Laws told ABC News. "Not exactly offensive language directed at her, but inappropriate things about his lifestyle, sexual activities, things like that."
At one point, the trainer had Johnson perform certain exercises so he "could 'watch her boobs,'" according to the lawsuit filed in Dallas County Court last month. He told Johnson that he could tell when she'd had a "good workout" because "her nipples would get hard," according to the court filing.
Johnson didn't return to the gym, located in Plano, for a while after that, but when she eventually went back, after receiving psychological counseling, she requested a different trainer. She didn't report the trainer's comments to his supervisor, because she knew the two men were friends, and she didn't feel comfortable speaking about it with him, said Laws. The session with the new trainer, who was randomly assigned to her, subjected her to additional harassing behavior, according to the lawsuit, with this trainer telling her stories of his sexual escapades with his girlfriend.
"Then he asked her to do the same exercise the last guy asked her to do, but she refused, telling him she was uncomfortable doing it," Laws said. "She eventually told him why, and he laughed hysterically about it, so she left again."
The next morning, the lawsuit alleges, Johnson received a text message from the last trainer, asking if she "suffers from hard nipple syndrome."
Shortly after receiving the text, Johnson told the gym administrators about what had happened with the two trainers, and requested a refund of her membership, personal training sessions and extra expenses such as child care, for a total of nearly $2,800. She said her gym gave her a number to call for corporate membership.
"She called the 800-number they gave her, and they told her no, and offered her $400, and that was it," Laws said.
Johnson began taking steps to leave the gym in June 2012, and her membership was eventually canceled on July 15, although she was not given the full refund she requested, so she contacted Laws.
LA Fitness has not responded to requests for comment from ABC News.
The complaint she filed against Fitness International and the two trainers claims the company engaged in deceptive trade practices, and was negligent in hiring and supervising staff, which, Laws said, constituted breach of contract.
Johnson's lawsuit claims she and her husband suffered damages, including loss of out-of-pocket expenses and expenses for psychiatric and psychological care, as well as mental anguish.
"She wants to show employers, specifically LA Fitness, that employees can't treat customers like this, and that if you run a business, you better supervise your employees properly," Laws told ABC. "We haven't gotten any response yet, but she wants to make sure nobody, man, woman, anybody, has to go through what she went through."
