1 Outbound Calling Superior Productivity & Customer Experience Unite Creating Tomorrow s Contact Center. Today.
2 OUTBOUND CALLING 02 The Customer Revolution: Service & Experience Take to the Forefront Today there s an unstoppable trend in motion. It s a shift of power from companies to customers. And it s accelerating. Technology may be the greatest enabler of this shift. Like Moore s Law, the shift is exponential. Now there are more ways than ever for customers to provide reviews and feedback, express frustrations, and demand exactly what they want. The best companies are evolving to provide not just superior products, but also superior experiences. Providing a superior customer experience is no longer a nice to have, it s a must. Research shows that customers expect to be able to reach a company through multiple channels, including phone, SMS/Text, , chat, and social sites like Facebook and Twitter. 1 Given these growing expectations, many companies are developing new ways to provide improved and proactive customer service. The customer s voice is having a profound effect on how businesses are run. In this fastchanging business environment, dated technology platforms and products are no longer sufficient to effectively compete. This customer revolution is manifested in many areas of technology and business, like the transition from desktop to mobile, the adoption of social media and collaboration tools, and the move to cloud computing. Traditional Predictive Dialing: Causes of Call Latency Voice recognition: call routed and connected only after a voice is detected Call routing and distribution: finding an available agent takes time, hold cues are not tolerated Answering machines, voice mail: techniques designed for legacy tape-based answering machines only add delay in the age of voice mail Predictive Dialing: A Breakthrough for Productivity Back in the 80s and into the 90s, traditional predictive dialing helped boost productivity for the outbound call center. Today it is hard to fathom that before predictive dialing came on the scene, agents talked to customers just 10 to 15 minutes per hour. Predictive dialing ushered in an explosion of productivity. Practically overnight, agents were talking to customers 40 minutes or more per hour. The Elephant in the Outbound Room: Call Latency Soon after the advent of predictive dialing, call latency issues began to develop. Predictive dialing technology takes time to listen and detect a customer on the line before connecting to an agent. Customers learned to recognize these pauses, and answering machines only exasperated latency problems. Today, many consumers recognize and hang up on dead air or that telltale clicking sound. In fact, a recent study found that 49% of consumers surveyed hang up when they hear a delay or pause when answering a call from an unfamiliar phone number. Customers who do stay on the line are likely to ask to be removed from further communications, confront the caller, or get impatient. 2 And, let s not forget the agents. They either hear silence on the other line due to hangups or must deal with unhappy customers at the start of each conversation. This certainly does not lead to optimum effectiveness. Finally, contact centers must pay surcharges for short call durations from hangups.
3 OUTBOUND CALLING 03 Current Situation: Timing is Right for Innovation Traditional predictive dialing s issues, coupled with the shift of power from the company to the customer, make the timing right for outbound dialing innovation. Traditional Predictive Dialing Problems Outdated technology 49 % Percentage of consumers surveyed hang up when they hear a delay or pause when answering a call from an unfamiliar phone number. 2 Major delay between when customer answers and agent connects Customers are likely to hang up Customers who don t hang up ask to be removed from further communications, confront the caller, or feel impatient Negative brand impression created Contact centers pay for short call duration surcharges from hangups Customer Demands Are Increasing Consumers have sophisticated technology in their own hands, and expect sophisticated service Products are becoming commoditized, excellent service is becoming the new differentiator Customers want personalized and flexible customer service experiences Customer loyalty is tenuous at best Poor service threatens profitable revenue streams Because positive customer experiences are so vital to revenue growth and profitability, some companies have returned to preview dialing. These call center executives have chosen to provide consistent positive customer experiences even though they have to sacrifice efficiency. More than 30 years ago, predictive dialing was an important breakthrough. Today it is simply outdated. But there is good news there s a new, better way for outbound.
4 OUTBOUND CALLING 04 A New, Better Way for Outbound: Making a Personal Connection Choosing service quality over operational efficiency, or vice versa, is an unfortunate choice. And now it is unnecessary. Thanks to a new outbound dialing innovation, IT and Call Center executives don t have to choose. Call centers don t have to sacrifice excellent service for productivity. Now they can increase efficiency and improve customer relationships. Now they can have high agent utilization and connect calls at the first hello. incontact s Personal Connection TM * Outbound Solution Connects at The First Hello How Groundbreaking Outbound Solution Works: The Conversation Model Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Dialer calls customers The customer never waits in silence: agent monitors calls that are likely to become conversations while Call Progress Analysis is determining call results Once conversation begins, the agent is dedicated to the customer and other calls are moved to other agents Result: Personal Connection allowed the called to have a more natural and persuasive conversation with the customer without sacrificing the productivity benefits of traditional predictive dialing. *Three patents protect Personal Connection: U.S. Patent No. 7,734,029, U.S. Patent No. 8,184,789, and U.S. Patent No. 8,548,144, other patents pending.
5 OUTBOUND CALLING 05 Personal Connection Outbound Dialer Technology Process 1. Dialing begins and the agent is listening to ringing. 2. When the customer picks up, the agent is connected and listening for the first hello. 3. The outbound dialer technology is actively monitoring both voice channels the customer and the agent s. It knows when each party is engaged. 4. The technology knows when a conversation begins, or does not, because it is listening to both channels. 5. If the agent hears a voice mail message, he or she does not engage in a conversation and the technology disposes the call. Another call s ring is now sent to the agent. No agent action is required for voice mails. 6. If the agent hears a customer voice, a conversation begins. The customer and agent are connected prior to the first hello. With this new solution, improved customer service and relationships can come first. Why? They lead to efficiency, effectiveness, and business success. Contact centers that have considered but not employed proactive outbound customer service due to call latency issues can now make a positive change. We were extremely pleased to convert to Personal Connection Technology. The best feature is the lack of latency in call connection. The dialed party only hears your agent s voice, resulting in fewer hangups. Agents and managers alike are happy. - Cort Walker Director of Operations, Tosh, Inc. Personal Connection Outbound Dialing Benefits Effective: Agents are connected at the first hello, paving the way for better outcomes and higher conversion rates Efficient: Pacing engine algorithm delivers new calls at an optimum pace to maximize efficiency and minimize abandons, resulting in better list penetration and dramatically improved agent productivity Simple: Simple to change and manage outbound calls and campaigns in the cloud Flexible: Able to scale from small to large outbound campaigns User Friendly: Agents can see their call progress in an intuitive visual manner, making for a more natural experience when agents and customers are connected Compliant: Do Not Call List Management and Intelligent Call Suppression dispositions records found in the suppression database; also, users are able to edit lists and make real-time dialing list adjustments
6 OUTBOUND CALLING 06 New Paradigm for Outbound Brings Positive Business Outcomes When contact centers connect naturally with customers, at the first hello, positive results follow. This natural, personal connection clears the way for agents to focus on each individual customer, rather than setting them up for dead air or strained conversations with defensive, frustrated, or confused customers. Now call center agents can focus on what they do best: Creating customer relationships and serving customers unique needs, all while helping meet company goals. When one compares traditional outbound dialing technology to the new Personal Connection solution, the difference is significant. The patented dialing technology means the customer will never again wait in silence. The clear advantages of Personal Connection demonstrate why incontact is confident that it will emerge as the new standard for automated dialing. It s here, it delivers, and it is native to the cloud. Positive Business Outcomes of Personal Connection Stronger personal relationships with customers Maximized agent productivity Improved list penetration Increased customer satisfaction More positive perception of brand and company Stronger brand loyalty Lower customer churn and higher customer retention Reduce customer acquisition costs and increased profitability Increased likelihood for additional purchases Increased likelihood for referrals Increased likelihood for incremental revenue from outbound sales, collections, and referrals
7 OUTBOUND CALLING 07 Making a Change to Achieve Better Outbound Results Making a change to new technology is never easy. But, when business benefits outweigh costs, change can be for the better. Today, many IT and operations professionals are choosing to move various services to the cloud in order to elevate their roles in the enterprise and add more strategic value. Replacing outdated technology like yesterday s predictive dialing products also clears the way for business growth. Giving your outbound call center agents the ability to connect with customers at the first hello, while also maintaining efficiency, can only yield positive results: better customer relationships, improved personalized experiences, stronger loyalty and retention, more customer referrals, improved collections efforts, and incremental revenue. Cloud Contact Center Benefits Customer-driven contact centers continually evolve to improve efficiencies, customer service, and business results. In today s 24x7 world, customers want what they want, when they want it. The best contact centers have innovated services to deliver just that, while keeping things as simple as possible for agents. Agents perform best when they are able to focus on the customer rather than technologies that put a barrier between them and that very customer. incontact strives to provide new solutions to help contact centers create high quality customer experiences. Connecting at the first hello and attaining outstanding outbound calling efficiency with Personal Connection is an example of how we innovate to meet contact center needs. We listen to customers, they influence our innovation cycle, and we are dedicated to an aggressive innovation pace.

8 OUTBOUND CALLING 08 Why Improving Outbound Matters In a recent survey of 2,029 U.S. adults, 87% said that they would want to be contacted proactively by a company with certain information and updates. The purposes for which they d want to be contacted included notification of fraudulent account activity, appointment setting/reminders, questions regarding an order, account changes, status updates, and offers and specials. And, almost half of these consumers said they would want to be contacted by phone. 2 For more information on best-in-class contact centers, get a personalized benchmark from this contact center assessment. There is a significant opportunity to proactively reach out to customers by phone to provide superior service, enhance relationships, and capture incremental revenue, all while maximizing efficiency and effectiveness. But, if your contact center is using an outdated outbound dialing solution that results in hangups, confused and frustrated customers, and agents starting conversations on the defensive, you re hurting your chances of actually pleasing the customer. Many industries are embracing outbound calling as a targeted marketing strategy. They are using outbound to enhance relationships, create long-term customer loyalty, and increase profitability. In fact, consumers recently reported 2 having had positive incoming call experiences with several business types, including: Outbound Outreach: What Consumers Want 2 Timely and actionable information A personalized and conversational call Provision of information directly relevant to their account A caller who went above and beyond expectations Communication of relevant opportunity or offer that otherwise would have been missed Bank or financial institution Healthcare provider, such as a hospital or clinic Travel company, such as an airline or hotel Retailer Charitable/non-profit fundraising organization
9 OUTBOUND CALLING 09 Proactive Outbound Calling Industry Use Cases: Financial Services/Banking Opportunity: Proactive outbound calling helps financial services organizations enhance customer relationships, sell more services, and acquire new customers. Challenges: Competition for new customer acquisition has intensified, making proactive service a key differentiator Targeted calling lists are becoming more costly Timely and prioritized customer calls are extremely important Personal Connection Solution: Virtually eliminates hangups Increases connections rates Maximizes penetration of targeted lists, improving list Eliminates call pauses Conversations with customers and prospects are natural and positive Prioritizes record handling Enables timely response to new customer inquiries Improves productivity Enhances sales efforts Tightly integrates backend data, which makes more customer information available to agents during calls Streamlines communications Personalizes agent s approach
10 OUTBOUND CALLING 10 Proactive Outbound Calling Industry Use Cases: Healthcare Opportunity: Healthcare organizations can streamline operations, improve patient relationships, and boost business results with proactive outbound calling. Healthcare provider calls may address admissions procedures, appointment reminders, insurance questions, or billing issues. Challenges: Growing legislative oversight and shrinking margins Multiple sources of patient information which lead to compliance issues Personal Connection Solution: Eliminates call pauses, and thus resultant hangups, caused by traditional predictive dialing Empowers healthcare staff to reach more customers the first time a call is made Makes healthcare staff immediately available when patients answer Demonstrates caring and consideration to patients Enables natural and normal conversations Strengthens customer relationships Improves integration of patient data Reduces compliance issues
11 OUTBOUND CALLING 11 Challenges with Outbound Calling: Compliance Frequently changing FCC regulations and complex regulatory requirements make outbound calling compliance a challenge. So much so that some contact centers have not leveraged outbound calling s benefits due to compliance-related costs. incontact understands compliance challenges and risks and has expertise in this area.

'The Tribe'
Director: Miroslav Slaboshpitsky
Stars: Grigory Fesenko, Yana Novikova
Rating: NR
4 (out of 5) Globes
It's not hyperbole to say the clinical Ukranian nightmare "The Tribe" is unlike any film ever made. It's what they call that misleading, inaccurate term "pure cinema." It has images and sounds but no words, neither printed nor said. The entire cast is deaf, and though they sign language up a storm, none of it is subtitled. (To put things in perspective, even F.W. Murnau's "The Last Laugh," a rare silent film with almost no intertitles, has one intertitle. This has zero.) There are sounds — including some witty plays with off-screen noises, such as ominously approaching footsteps — but some scenes unfold with the barest ambiance. The viewer is thus forced to do actual watching, not to let the mind drift to deciphering dialogue or to let the eyes zero in on words printed on the bottom of the screen. We stare head on, not given an excuse to look away, especially lest we miss one of the film's sudden bursts of unspeakable horror.
Of course, you're still using part of your attention to figure what's going on. Plot in "The Tribe" isn't always decipherable, and on purpose: The film, the debut feature of Miroslav Slaboshpitsky, wants to make us feel lost and out of control, much like (if nowhere near exactly like) its characters and actors. From what we can tell it deals with Sergey (Grigory Fesenko), a young man who shows up at what appears to be a school for the deaf, but may be something else entirely. (There's one adult, who teaches woodshop, but even he seems nefarious.) Whatever it is, Sergey gets caught up with the bad kids, who aren't just normal bad kids. They run a prostitution ring, and are prone to beatings and theft, in addition to their normal bullying duties.

Someone Asked me – "Did you find the purpose of your life?"
I replied – "Yes Indeed"
He Said – "What is it?"
I replied – "Purpose of my life is to make my every single day a Happy day and make others Happy; Forgive myself for what I done wrong, Forgive others for what they have done wrong; Love myself and Love others; & Purify my Mind and Soul"
There are 2 posts tagged purpose ().
What do you want from your life?
Yesterday I went to a Training Programme on "New Age Marketing" by Prof. Dr. P.K. Ghosh of IIM Ahmedabad conducted by HCCI.
I really liked the way of teaching of these IIM guys they don't teach u but they spark out ideas from your dead grey cells, every time he focused upon our conceptualisation, creative thinking and digging harder.
before that training he sent a thick study material with a case study to go through just like IIM or Harvard or any other B school do, while I was going through that a day before yesterday, I stuck upon a question – "what's your strength and weaknesses", it's true that zillions times we mould and prepare this question for interview according to it's Job Discription.
But if I really have to dig harder and find out my actual SWs then I find it's very tough job although it's all about me, where as when we are asked to find out SWOT of other then we easily jot down many points just like that but when it's about us we just stuck up may be we just don't wanna accept our inner true self.
after that there was question what do u wanna from ur life? answer in long term goal (15 year) and short term (year) well i jot down under health, financial, family, social, personal category still i'm not sure about what i really want from my life…
I mean even if I achieve all the goals, I'm not sure I'll be happy, cause happiness is something that I believe you won't get by accomplishing certain goals, it's okay that when we achieve some mile stones in life we do get some happiness but that happiness is not long lasting, it lasts for few moments one night party then it's over, some hang over do left but again from third day you feel emptiness you feel for achieving something more.
When do we get sense of contentment? when there is no space left and we feel full, full of happiness which lasts forever, I believe we never get that unless we get enlightened which only few people achieves.
I believe we can get that sense of contentment, fulfillment, every lasting happiness…. if we don't run to fill that void inside cause we can never be able to fill it, the more we try the more it'll get deeper.
For the 98% of time we live in our past and future which never exists and we loose our present which is the only real part of our life, all the void and unhappiness arises from past and future but if we live in present moment then our all pain of past and uncertainty of future just go away and that way we can enjoy our life, fill it with ever lasting happiness as long as we live in now.
I think I only want to be happy in life, live in moment now, live my life fully.

Too Personal?
TOO PERSONAL?....The CNN folks are saying that all the snap polls show Obama the winner of tonight's debate. There's nothing too surprising about that, but I'd sure like to know why. I've heard all this stuff so many times before that it's almost impossible for me to have a genuine reaction to either guy, so I can only guess what average viewers were reacting to. Best guess is that they thought McCain was too snarky and took a few too many personal shots. That's not presidential.
UPDATE: For the record, CNN's poll has Obama winning 51%-38%. CBS has Obama winning 39%-25%.

Top Hedge Funds surge past $900 billion Mark for first time, powered by Millennium, DE Shaw, Icahn and Gotham
July 22nd, 2014 | ||
The latest Top U.S. Equity Hedge Fund list has been released, revealing that the top 100 hedge funds now manage $908 billion in assets. Overall, the assets of the top funds have increased by nearly $33 billion, or 4%, year-to-date. The rise in assets YTD can largely be attributed to the seventeen hedge funds on the Top 100 Equity Hedge Fund list that have seen their equity assets increase by more than $1 billion. Leading the equity asset surge are Millennium Management (+$5.4B), D.E. Shaw & Co (+$4.4B), Icahn Associates (+$2.5B) and Gotham Asset Management (+$2.4B). Several notable value and event-driven focused equity funds were among the top gainers, including Corvex Management, Fir Tree Partners and Third Point Management. Not surprisingly, multi-strategy and long/short equity styled funds are again the dominating strategies on the top 100 hedge fund list, overseeing 23% and 15% in equity assets, respectively. Value-focused hedge funds are responsible for managing 12% of the list's assets, while Growth/GARP and Quant funds account for 13% and 10%. Regionally, Manhattan maintained its place as the center of the hedge fund universe with the greatest amount of hedge fund equity assets under management (~53%). The other major hedge fund hubs represented on the list include the Greenwich/Fairfield County area, Boston, Chicago, and San Francisco..

Atashi is the main character in the books Chii reads. Atashi, though its name is never said, is the pink bunny who represents Chii. These "mysterious" books Chii reads called "A City with No People" were actually written by Chitose Hibiya, who is referred as Chii's "mother". When Chii reads these books, she feels pain in her "heart", In which case, Freya tells Chii these stories are of her past and present times.
In book 4 of the manga, Hideki notices that these books are actually telling the story of him and Chii. At first Hideki thought these were just drastic picture books, but as he reads them he learns a lot about Chii and the mystery of her.
Atashi speaks in a very simple way, like a child, and all she does is looks around the empty city, peaking through the windows, looking for the "someone just for me". She refers the persocoms as "them", but if you notice Atashi is the only one different, meaning Chii is different from the other persocoms.

On-the-fly protection.
A water and wind-resistant jacket or thermo-regulating vest for cool, windy days? Actually, the Pearl Izumi Men's Elite Barrier Convertible Jacket is both, quickly converting from a protective shell to a heat-retaining vest in a matter of seconds with its zip-off sleeves. Its Elite Barrier shell blocks the breeze, while shedding light showers and road mist. Direct-Vent panels improve ventilation when you're hammering up steep grades and increasing your cadence on fast training rides.
Highly visible after dark, the convertible jacket's 360-degree reflectivity keeps you safe when you're riding at dawn and dusk. Its full-length draft flap seals out rogue gusts and sustained breezes from chilling your core. Other key features include a drawstring adjustable hem for a dialed fit, as well as zippered hand pockets for holding riding accessories and other items.

- Global and local mechanisms sustain axonal proteostasis of transmembrane proteins
Víctor Hugo Cornejo, Alejandro Luarte and Andrés Couve
Version of Record online: 27 MAR 2017 | DOI: 10.1111/tra.12472
Axonal proteostasis of membrane proteins is a complex phenomenon that involves post-Golgi vesicular transport (solid turquoise arrow and green membrane proteins), local translation/processing/trafficking (solid turquoise arrow and red membrane proteins), supply from supporting cells (dashed turquoise arrow and turquoise membrane proteins) and timely degradation (solid orange arrow). Although some of these mechanisms need further evidence or are currently somewhat speculative, the axon may be considered a system in which global and local phenomena interact to sustain function.
- C9orf72: At the intersection of lysosome cell biology and neurodegenerative disease
Joseph Amick and Shawn M. Ferguson
Version of Record online: 23 MAR 2017 | DOI: 10.1111/tra.12477
3 distinct mechanisms that have been proposed to explain how hexanucleotide repeat expansion within the C9orf72 gene causes neurodegeneration. (1) RNAs transcribed from the hexanucleotide repeat expansion form nuclear foci, which may trap key proteins involved in RNA processing. (2) Dipeptide repeat proteins produced by repeat associated non-AUG (RAN) translation form aggregates that may impair the function of membraneless organelles such as nucleoli and stress granules. Dipeptide repeat proteins may also disrupt transport through nuclear pores. (3) The repeat expansion also suppresses expression of the endogenous C9orf72 protein. Based on recent knockout studies, loss of C9orf72 is predicted to impair lysosome function This review focuses on recent progress toward elucidating lysosome-related functions for C9orf72.

- Routes and mechanisms of post-endosomal cholesterol trafficking: A story that never ends (pages 209–217)
Jie Luo, Luyi Jiang, Hongyuan Yang and Bao-Liang Song
Version of Record online: 21 MAR 2017 | DOI: 10.1111/tra.12471
Post-endosomal cholesterol transport in a mammalian cell. Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) particles are taken up via LDL receptor (LDLR)-mediated endocytosis and delivered from early endosome (EE) to late endosome (LE)/lysosome (LY), during which LDL cholesteryl esters are hydrolyzed by acid lipase (AL) to release free cholesterol. Liberated cholesterol then exits LE/LY and moves to other organelles including the plasma membrane (PM), endoplasmic reticulum (ER), peroxisome (PERO), Golgi and mitochondria. These trafficking processes may involve nonvesicular transport at membrane contact sites formed by 2 closely apposed organelles. Upon reaching one membrane, cholesterol can be further delivered to another one, for example, the PM-to-ER retrograde cholesterol transport.
- HIV infection is influenced by dynamin at three independent points in the viral life cycle
Anupriya Aggarwal, Tina L. Hitchen, Lars Ootes, Samantha McAllery, Andrew Wong, Khanh Nguyen, Adam McCluskey, Phillip J. Robinson and Stuart G. Turville
Accepted manuscript online: 21 MAR 2017 01:45AM EST | DOI: 10.1111/tra.12481
The concept that HIV endocytosis is the rate limiting step for HIV fusion in primary resting and activated CD4 T cell subsets has become controversial. Although dynamin plays a key role in endocytosis, modulation of its activity has led to both supportive and contradictory evidence for its role in HIV fusion. Through chemical dissection of dynamin action in the HIV life cycle of primary resting and activated CD4 T cells, we reveal that dynamin plays a role at three discrete stages: cell cycle related HIV transcription, the HIV fusion site and the HIV fusion reaction.

"Can I Have It All?" is the Wrong Question
When I speak to groups of young women and men, more and more frequently the question I get isn't "Can I have it all?" it's "Should I have kids at all?"

Why do women themselves say that women "Can't Have it All?" We say it because, as one mother told me, the phrase resonates as being "Shockingly, earthshakingly true."

Fair opportunity, set-aside rules clash
The Federal Acquisition Regulation that governs all procurement purchases includes rules on small-business contracting that apparently contradict each other. But experts say the contradiction might be more of a legal distinction than a threat to the current system of awarding contracts.
The Defense Department's inspector general uncovered the problem and described it in a report released May 6.
In FAR Part 19, a provision known as the Rule of Two requires agencies to give small businesses an advantage over other companies if there are at least two small companies that can offer reasonable bids. Last year, the Government Accountability Office said the rule applies to task and delivery orders in addition to full contracts.
However, FAR Part 16 requires contracting officers to give all companies a fair opportunity to be considered for each task or delivery order under multiple-award contracts.
DOD's IG found the apparently conflicting language when it audited the Navy's SeaPort Enhanced indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity contracts. The auditors said SeaPort-e's manager failed to adequately compete task orders when he allowed work to be set aside for small businesses.
Navy Department officials intend to broach the subject with regulators. The Navy will ask for clarification from the Defense Acquisition Regulations and the Federal Acquisition Regulations councils on whether the FAR should be updated to allow small-business set-asides for task orders on IDIQ contracts.
Congress clearly supports small-business set-asides, and lawmakers have put task and delivery orders, which agencies use to expedite many purchases, on par with contracts in the fiscal 2009 National Defense Authorization Act, said Robert Burton, former deputy administrator of the Office of Federal Procurement Policy and now a partner at Venable law firm.
With agencies funneling more than half their spending through such arrangements, lawmakers decided the larger task orders need more regulation, but they still support the small-business set-aside policy, Burton said.

Seasoned government managers are hopeful about an innovation effort backed by the president, but they see pitfalls and the possibility of duplication.
Early self-reporting suggests that 81 percent of agencies are on track to electronically manage email records.
The head of the Defense Innovation Unit Experimental says his goal is to drive culture change in the DOD's acquisition and innovation processes rather than make DIUx the acquisition arm of the DOD.
A plan to reorganize DHS' cybersecurity directorate that stalled in Congress last year is still on the agency's agenda.
Without confirmed subcabinet officials, President Donald Trump's executive order calling for a federal government reorganization will be managed by agency chiefs and career executives.
As promised, a budget blueprint from the Trump administration prioritizes military and homeland security spending, and pays for increases with dramatic cuts to civilian agencies.
The good folks at DoD IG merely restated a debate that began immediately after the Delex decision was issued. It's nothing new or nothing "uncovered" by the DoD IG! Hopefully, now that they have published this report there can be some action by Congress to resolve this issue.
