Spending by central government departments through the G-Cloud framework slumped to under £100,000 last month.
Suppliers that were awarded G-Cloud framework accreditation are obliged to provide details of any sales they complete through the framework, which the Government Procurement Service receives monthly.
The latest figures showed spending slumped to just £98,182 in July, compared to £459,730 in June, and £555,187 in April when G-Cloud trading began.
One of the biggest earners last month was Microsoft, which earned a modest £20,586 from the Department of International Development. Apto Solutions was awarded the biggest contract during the month, but that was only £24,570 from the Cabinet Office.
Nevertheless, 75 percent of the spend through G-Cloud was with SMEs, the G-Cloud team said. The government has committed to enabling more small firms to access public contracts.
Since April, £1,276,780-worth of contracts have been awarded through the G-Cloud. The biggest contract so far awarded has been a £251,000 deal signed by cloud services firm Huddle with the Ministry of Justice.
G-Cloud suppliers will be hoping the slump in spending in July is down to the holiday season impacting on business activity, rather than government departments going off cloud-based procurement.
The government launched a CloudStore in February, which saw 257 suppliers signed up to the G-Cloud framework, offering 1,700 cloud services to the public sector, and catalogued within an online portal.
The government has since revealed details of the second iteration of its G-Cloud framework, which will run for 12 months and is worth £100 million.

Tell us a bit about the survey.
We interviewed more than 400 senior insurance executives worldwide, all of whom are responsible for, or involved with, their companies' distribution function. The sample was biased toward large carriers, and included P&C personal lines and small commercial carriers, life insurers and multiline companies.
What, for you, was the most striking finding?
Well let me say first of all that the survey results confirmed and quantified most of what we're being told daily by our clients. But I think we were all a bit surprised at the increasing pace of digitalization. For example, one in four respondents said their organization has a wholly digital sales process, in which they use human interactions only for customers who need advice. But here's the kicker: a further 28 percent plan to be wholly digital in the next three years, and the same number have a similar ambition but expect to take a bit longer. Add them up and you'll see that only 19 percent reject this model.
Are there other results that demonstrate the quickening shift to digital?
The results are pretty consistent. For example, P&C personal lines insurers estimate that today 21 percent of all sales are concluded digitally from end to end–in other words, fully self-service–but they expect the number to rise to 31 percent in three years' time. The numbers for commercial lines are smaller but the growth is the same: 14 percent today, rising to 24 percent. And for life, its 20 percent rising to 26 percent. These are big increases. To achieve them there's going to have to be significant transformation within these organizations.
I believe you also focused on the Internet of Things–is there much interest there on the part of insurance carriers?
There certainly is–45 percent of our respondents believe the IoT's connected devices will be a major driver of revenue growth for insurers. We asked them how they've progressed with the launch or piloting of products and services that utilize these devices, and compared them to the findings of a similar survey carried out last year. The increases are remarkable–from double to almost four-fold. If you look at connected home or building insurance, for example, 17 percent of carriers have already or are about to launch products or services, up from 5 percent, and a further 22 percent are running pilot projects. Auto insurance is obviously the most mature of the sectors, and here we're seeing a total of 43 percent of carriers that either have already launched or are piloting new initiatives.
Are these changes happening across the board?
The shift to digital, and the acceleration of this trend, are universal. But there is a clear distinction between a minority of carriers, whom we call the Digital Transformers, and the rest of the industry, the Digital Followers. The difference is certainly revealed by the numbers–the Transformers are outpacing the Followers on virtually every dimension of digital transformation. But it's also evident in the objectives of the two groups. The Followers tend to invest in digital technology to enhance their current products, processes and customer experiences with the primary aim of improving their efficiency. This is good, but it's not going to give them an advantage over the Transformers, who in addition to efficiency are leveraging digital to become more customer-centric and more innovative–searching for new ways of creating new value for their customers.
In the light of the survey's findings, what are your recommendations for insurers?
We include a number of specific recommendations in our survey report. But two of our over-arching proposals are, firstly, that carriers should make customer-centricity and innovation the cornerstones of their digital transformation. These are indispensable attributes of any future business and operating models. And then secondly, we've seen a hesitancy among many carriers that reveals itself in an ongoing succession of pilot projects but not as much decisive action. We believe insurers must commit to their chosen business and distribution models, and implement the initiatives that will bring these to life. The industry is transforming so rapidly that a wait-and-see approach is no longer the safer option–it's time to seize the moment and commit to future growth.

TSA dog breeding facility to close
The Transportation Security Administration plans to close its San Antonio facility for the breeding and development of bomb-sniffing dogs early next year, a federal official said.
But plans to shut down operations at TSA's Canine Breeding and Development Center at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland are drawing fire from opponents who say the move will wipe out progress the center has made in selectively breeding high-performing dogs with reduced risks of hip dysplasia and other health problems that can shorten a dog's service life.
It also will result in the loss of more than a dozen local jobs and university research funding in Texas, said Jim Boelens, a retired Army colonel and one of about 150 volunteer "puppy walkers" who have provided foster homes to young dogs before they train for security work at airports and transportation facilities. Since January 2002, when it began in the wake of 9/11, the program has bred more than 500 puppies.
"I'm very concerned that TSA will throw away 10 years of selective breeding for detection dogs," Boelens said.
An official of the Federal Air Marshal Service said the administration is phasing out the breeding program at Lackland, and will purchase dogs through "existing contracts" and "multiple sources," including the Department of Defense. The Defense Department also breeds dogs at Lackland — which has the world's largest training facility for working dogs and handlers — for explosives detection and police patrols.
"This change will be executed in favor of a canine procurement and deployment approach that best manages taxpayer dollars," Kimberley Thompson, assistant supervisory air marshal in charge in Washington, D.C., said in a statement Friday. The center stopped breeding dogs in April, and "will cease to operate in its current form" in early 2013, she said.
TSA dogs purchased from other sources will continue to train at Lackland, Thompson said.
Boelens said he's asked members of Congress to direct TSA to delay the closure until a full study of the issue, including cost-benefit comparisons, can be done. He believes the TSA is mistakenly targeting the dog-breeding program after being criticized by federal authorities as inefficient in other areas. Other agencies such as the Texas Department of Public Safety and U.S. Border Patrol also benefit from getting genetically superior dogs from the breeding program, Boelens said.
"It is a program that is developing and improving greatly," he said. "It provides security to the traveling public."
Boelens said he has statements from geneticists showing that the center has produced three generations of explosives-detection Labrador retrievers and Labrador-vizsla mixes, resulting in higher certification rates among the selectively bred dogs, compared with purchased canines. The University of Texas has had a contract to do behavioral studies to help improve development of the working dogs.
If the center closes, the foster family program no longer will be needed.
The center has a roughly $400,000 annual budget, a pittance compared to TSA's overall budget, Boelens said.
"This is probably one of the most cost-effective programs they have," he said.
Calls to managers of the breeding and development center were not returned Friday.

Tutorial Center -
Information for Students
"One-on-one tutoring sounds expensive, but not at City College! I was surprised when I was told that the tutoring service is free. I was even more surprised when I found out the diversity of the courses tutored.. The casual environment, together with the opportunity to find a group of students to study with, and the genuine interest of the tutors in helping us, have encouraged me to visit the LAC quite often." Yousef Kazerooni, French tutee
What is Tutoring?
Tutoring is a one-on-one personal academic support system. Tutors share their knowledge of their subject matter. They work to provide an active learning experience for their students by explaining difficult concepts and providing examples for exploration. Tutors encourage, motivate, inspire, and enable students to develop confidence in their academic abilities. The goal of tutoring is to enable students to become independent and fearless lifelong learners eager to explore learning and create lives that will inspire others.
Tutors assist students in their weekly assignments and study techniques, and are available on a drop-in basis at scheduled hours. The following areas provide free tutoring.
What subjects does the LAC tutor?
Business, Technology and Science Tutoring
The Business and Science Areas offer tutoring and study tables for students enrolled in accounting, anatomy, architecture, biology, chemistry, economics, physics, physiology and statistics classes.
Foreign Language Tutoring
The Foreign Language Area offers tutoring and study tables for students enrolled in Chinese, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Mandarin, Russian, and Spanish classes.
Social Science Tutoring
The Social Science areas offer tutoring in subjects such as history, music, philosophy, political science, psychology and sociology.
Mathematics and Engineering Tutoring
The Math and Engineering Tutoring Area (META) offers tutoring and study tables for students enrolled in most math classes and a number of engineering classes.
What are the benefits of tutoring?
Working with a fellow student can be a real treat. It helps to hear course material explained from a point of view different from the instructor. Your tutor can provide you with valuable feedback on how to approach the course and the material.
What should I bring to my tutoring sessions?
Your tutor will be able to assist you in the most effective manner when you bring your textbook, class notes, assignment details, questions, and your work to date.
What happens during a tutoring session?
Your tutor will ask you what you need, and how you have approached the subject so far. He or she will involve you in a discussion of the course material. Tutor do not simply provide you with the correct answers. Tutors are trained to help you find your own correct answers. They assist you with basic reading/writing/math skills necessary for success in your college course. Your tutor will also help you with note taking and test taking skills, and tips on how to study your particular subject. Tutors help you understand how you learn best.
Who are the tutors?
LAC tutors are City College students who generally earned a grade of "A" in the course and have been trained to use a supportive approach to tutoring. They are students who are concerned about their fellow students and who are interested in helping others learn the subjects they enjoy themselves.
How can I get tutoring?
Drop by the LAC in the Rosenberg Library, Room 207. Go to the Tutorial Center Counter and ask about tutoring in your subject. You will learn about the drop-in tutoring schedule and how to access tutoring in the area of the LAC that focuses on your subject.
Show your CCSF Photo ID Card to the Tutorial Counter staff. (If you don't have one, go to the Cashier's Office in Smith Hall 118. They will provide you with one quickly and easily.)
You will be asked to complete a short LAC registration form that includes a faculty referral the first time you visit each semester. This process adds you into LERN 1000-Supervised Tutoring, a non-credit course that does not appear on your official transcripts. You will be shown how to login on our computers and where to go for tutoring in your subject matter. Tutoring schedules are mostly completed approximately the second week of the semester.
Is there special tutoring for students with disabilities?
City College of San Francisco is committed to ensuring equal access and reasonable accommodations and assistance for people with disabilities.
The LAC offers tutorial services for all students, but we do not offer special services to any students.
If you are a student with a disability and require special accommodations, please contact the Disabled Students Programs and Services (DSPS).
Is there a limit to the amount of tutoring I can receive?
The LAC provides free tutoring for City College students in over 30 different subjects. Any student may be limited, at the discretion of the LAC Coordinator, in the number of times and the amount of time the student may spend with a tutor each week or each day for two reasons:
1. There are other students waiting to be seen.
2. The student is relying too heavily on a tutor to carry him/her through the class.
Instructors expect their students to do their own work; too much dependence on the tutor calls into question how much work students are actually capable of doing on their own.
What if I need tutoring help when the LAC is closed?
All CCSF students can access live online tutoring in many academic subjects through NetTutor's trained tutors. NetTutor tutors are available for live sessions, to answer submitted questions, and to review papers 24 hours a day, any day of the week. Online tutoring services can be accessed anywhere.

CHICAGO — Joe Neglia was a retired government intelligence worker with Parkinson's disease when he suddenly developed what he calls a gambling habit from hell.
Don't miss these Health stories
More women opting for preventive mastectomy - but should they be?
Rates of women who are opting for preventive mastectomies, such as Angeline Jolie, have increased by an estimated 50 percent in recent years, experts say. But many doctors are puzzled because the operation doesn't carry a 100 percent guarantee, it's major surgery -- and women have other options, from a once-a-day pill to careful monitoring.

- Report questioning salt guidelines riles heart experts
- CDC: 2012 was deadliest year for West Nile in US
- What stresses moms most? Themselves, survey says
- More women opting for preventive mastectomy - but should they be?
After losing thousands of dollars playing slot machines near his California home several times a day for nearly two years, Neglia stumbled across an Internet report linking a popular Parkinson's drug he used with compulsive gambling.
"I thought, 'Oh my God, this must be it,"' he said. Three days after stopping the drug, Mirapex, "all desire to gamble just went away completely. I felt like I had my brain back."
A Mayo Clinic study published Monday in July's Archives of Neurology describes 11 other Parkinson's patients who developed the unusual problem while taking Mirapex or similar drugs between 2002 and 2004. Doctors have since identified 14 additional Mayo patients with the problem, said lead author Dr. M. Leann Dodd, a Mayo psychiatrist.
"It's certainly enough for us to be cautious as we are using it," Dodd said. "We wouldn't want them to have some kind of financial ruin or difficulties that could be prevented."
Compulsive gambling, sex and shopping
Dr. Leo Verhagen, a Parkinson's specialist at Chicago's Rush University Medical Center who was not involved in the study, says he and some colleagues all have a few patients who developed compulsive gambling while taking Mirapex, a drug that relieves tremors and stiffness. The behavior usually disappears when the drug dose is lowered, Verhagen said. He praised the Mayo article for raising awareness for doctors and patients.
Neglia, 54, now living in Millersville, Md., was not treated at Mayo or involved in the study. He said the problem is underreported "because of the embarrassment factor" and is one of several patients suing manufacturer Boehringer-Ingelheim Pharmaceuticals Inc., accusing the company of failing to adequately warn patients about the potential side effects.
California attorney Daniel Kodam, who filed the lawsuit last year, said he's spoken with more than 200 Mirapex patients who developed compulsive behaviors, including excessive gambling, sex and shopping. He is seeking to have the complaint certified as a nationwide class-action lawsuit. A similar suit has been filed in Canada, Kodam said.
Neglia said he has contacted the Food and Drug Administration but that the agency has failed to act on numerous adverse reaction reports about Mirapex. An FDA spokeswoman said the agency is examining the reports to determine if there's any connection to the drug but declined to say how many it has received.
Katherine King O'Connor, a spokeswoman for the Ridgefield, Conn.-based Boehringer-Ingelheim Pharmaceuticals, said there's no scientific evidence that Mirapex causes the problem. Still, the company revised Mirapex's package insert earlier this year to include compulsive behavior among potential side effects after receiving "rare" reports — all after the drug was approved for U.S. use in 1997, O'Connor said.
'Like a light switch being turned off'
Mirapex was among top-selling Parkinson's drugs last year, with more than $200 million in U.S. sales, according to IMS Health, a pharmaceutical information and consulting firm.
Mirapex, or pramipexole, reduces tremors and the slow, stiff movements that are a hallmark of Parkinson's disease. It belongs to a class of drugs that mimic the effects of dopamine, a brain chemical that controls movement and is deficient in Parkinson's disease.
Mirapex targets dopamine receptors in a brain region associated with emotions that include pleasure and reward-seeking behavior, Dodd said. It can also cause extreme sudden sleepiness.
It is sometimes used alone or with the mainstay Parkinson's drug, levodopa.
Though a few of the Mayo patients took related drugs, Dodd said most used Mirapex. They included a 68-year-old man who lost more than $200,000 at casinos over six months and a 41-year-old computer programmer who became "consumed" with Internet gambling, losing $5,000 within a few months.
Dodd said Mayo doctors now ask patients using the drugs if they have suddenly taken up gambling. Affected patients are usually switched to different drugs or doses, and the result is often dramatic, "like a light switch being turned off when they stopped the drug," she said.

Post by Stefan of Tokyo Whisky Hub.
Suntory has just announced they will be releasing a special Hibiki 21yo on December 4th. It will come in two versions, but the whisky inside will be the same. One will be an "Arita-yaki" (有田焼, lit. "Arita ware"), which refers to a type of Japanese porcelain made in the town of Arita in Kyushu, also known as "Imari" (after the port in Saga from which the porcelain was exported in the 17th and 18th century) - that's the one on the left in the picture below. The other will be a "Kutani-yaki" (九谷焼, "Kutani ware"), a style of porcelain first produced in the village of Kutani in the Kaga domain (now roughly corresponding to Ishikawa prefecture).

Customary international law refers to international obligations arising from established state practice, as opposed to obligations arising from formal written international treaties. According to Article 38(1)(b) of the ICJ Statute, customary international law is one of the sources of international law. Customary international law can be established by showing (1) state practice and (2) opinio juris.
Put another way, "customary international law" results from a general and consistent practice of states that they follow from a sense of legal obligation.

From the creators of South Park, Trey Parker and Matt Stone, comes an outrageous sequel to 2014's South Park: The Stick of Truth.
Buddies are an important part of South Park: The Fractured But Whole. They are your combat party, they move the story along as you do your silent protagonist thing, and they help you explore the environment. Buddies were also an important part of The Stick of Truth, but Ubisoft San Francisco is working to expand their roles for the sequel in a number of ways. "We wanted to get more of the buddies voices and their powers in there," says senior producer Jason Schroeder.
The simplest way that the buddy's role is being increased is in sheer numbers. This time around, there are 12 buddies, as opposed to Stick's six. We don't know the full list of buddies yet, but we do know Scott Malkinson as Captain Diabetes, Kyle as The Human Kite, Stan as Toolshed, Cartman as The Coon, Craig as Super Craig, Tweak as Wonder Tweak, and Jimmy as Fast Pass will all be buddies in the game. We've seen other heroes in assorted cutscenes, but these are ones we know will appear in your party, help you fight and navigate the environment, and be defined as buddies.
Each buddy has a power, which you can activate in certain locations in order to find hidden items, or complete sidequests. When you come across one of these locations, as long as you have completed the requirements for adding a particular buddy to your party, they will come calling as you need them without the need to rifle through menus or try out different buddies on different interactive elements. "We're trying to get it a little more in the natural exploration. A lot of the stuff that was the most compelling in Stick tended to be just the things you could do by yourself," Schroeder says. In Fractured, the team wants the buddies to be more active and present throughout.

NEW YORK, N.Y. – ABC is cutting its aging "Dancing With the Stars" back to two hours and one night next season, creating a slot for a new drama series based on the Marvel Comics world that's aimed at expanding the network's audience, its programming chief said Tuesday.
Condensing the celebrity dancing contest on Monday night "opens up Tuesday for a pretty aggressive play," said Paul Lee, ABC Entertainment Group president, whose network became the third of the major broadcasters to announce its 2013-14 schedule. The network's entire Tuesday lineup for the fall is made up of new series.
"Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.," from hit-maker Joss Whedon of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and "The Avengers" films, will help broaden the audience for ABC, which is the network leader among young adult women, Lee said. The comic-book based series presumably will attract some younger men to the network. "Dancing With the Stars" is big with older women.
The celebrity dancing contest, although still a ratings winner for ABC in its 16th season, has seen its overall audience decline and grow older, an issue for networks that get higher commercial ad rates for younger viewers.
Asked about how he felt putting "S.H.I.E.L.D." on at 8 p.m. EDT Tuesday against TV's top-rated drama, "NCIS" on CBS, Lee said the ABC drama will draw a different audience and has a built-in fan base from the Marvel franchise.
Among the other new dramas are "Once Upon a Time in Wonderland," a spinoff from the fairy tale series "Once Upon a Time," and the Stephen Spielberg-produced "Lucky 7," about a group of gas station employees who win the lottery.
Lee also touted the network's new comedies, especially "Super Fun Night," written by and starring "Bridesmaids" breakout star Rebel Wilson as a single young attorney, and "The Goldbergs," about a geeky preteen growing up in the 1980s who puts his family's antics on videotape.
ABC is introducing a total of 14 new shows next season, following other networks that also have hefty freshman programming slates: Fox said Monday it's adding 11 new shows and is making its largest financial investment ever, and NBC said it would introduce 17 new series.
ABC will take a less traditional approach to scheduling, Lee said, breaking some of its series into two sets of 12 episodes with a break between them to avoid airing repeats. The gap will be filled by limited-run shows, including dramas, he said.
His competitors also plan to make use of "event series," the new label for the once popular genre known as the miniseries. Fox said this week its plans include a limited-run return for "24" and the thriller "Wayward Pines" from filmmaker M. Night Shyamalan ("The Sixth Sense").
Other new ABC dramas include "Betrayal," about a photographer and her husband with political aspirations, with James Cromwell in the cast; "Killer Women," a Texas Rangers drama focused on a female ranger; "Mind Games," with Steve Zahn and Christian Slater as problem-solvers for hire; and "Resurrection," starring Omar Epps, about a small town where the dead return to life.
The new comedies include sitcom "Back in the Game," about a single mom and her estranged dad, played by James Caan; the singles sitcom "Mixology" and "Trophy Wife," starring Malin Akerman as a newlywed who gets a husband (Bradley Whitford) and three stepchildren.
Also on tap for next season is "The Quest," a reality series from producers whose credits include "The Lord of the Rings" and "The Amazing Race," and the special "Toy Story of Terror," which puts the characters from "Toy Story" on a scary road trip. Original cast members Tom Hanks and Tim Allen are among the voice actors.
The network's cancelled series are "Body of Proof," "Malibu Country" and "Happy Endings," which Lee called a favourite but which failed to draw ratings.
The network is bringing back 10 current series including "Once Upon a Time," "Modern Family," "Scandal," "Grey's Anatomy," "Castle" and "Nashville." Moves are afoot for "Last Man Standing" and "The Neighbors," which will air on Friday.

My impression of the OP is that it is doing very well with following up and learning. So I feel it deserves to be told that Simon of the Playa, Roberto Robbisano and H.G. Crosby is/are the same person -- namely Simon.Savannah wrote:...if someone ... is who they say they are.
Not that there is anything wrong with that -- it is one of his art forms.
Although I have zero interest in that kinky stuff, I do agree that ePlaya is a suitable forum for explicit topics. If we cannot talk about it, who can?
Of course, new ePlayans ought to establish themselves among us before turning the volume all the way up. Common sense and courtesy.
Carry on.

There are some TV shows with everlasting appeal.
And 50 years after it first aired on TV, Thunderbirds is still going strong.
Whatever your age, you'll have your own Thunderbirds memories...from the visible string on the early shows, Blue Peter showing us how to create our own Tracy Island when the real thing sold out pre-Christmas 1991 or even the new CGI versions.
So to celebrate, here are eight things you (probably) didn't know about Thunderbirds...
• Fenella Fielding was Gerry Anderson's first choice for the voice of Lady Penelope. In the end, the role went to his then wife, Sylvia.
• Thunderbirds and Gerry Anderson's other puppet series were credited to AP Films. The initials stood for the surnames of Anderson and his former partner, cameraman Arthur Provis, who had collaborated with him on several earlier series.
• Thunderbirds was preceded by similar science fiction adventures Stingray and Fireball XL5, and by Anderson's cowboy puppet series Four Feather Falls.
• Thunderbirds was shot on cinema-quality 35mm colour film, four years before ITV transferred from black-and-white. The far-sighted investment guaranteed the show an after-life in repeats for decades to come.
• Gerry Anderson said the character of Thunderbird 5 captain John Tracy was exiled permanently to outer space because the puppet was "too ugly".
• The puppet stages used in filming were only one-fifth the size of those used in live-action productions, with the puppets themselves being made up of more than 30 individual components.
• Before its UK debut, Thunderbirds was distributed to 30 other countries including the US, Canada, Australia and Japan.
• In 2015 Thunderbirds Are Go brought the original, and now computer generated characters back to our screens.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. – The Yale gymnastics team opened the 2012 season with a bang, finishing first out of four teams at a quad meet at Springfield College. The Bulldogs won with a score of 189.475. SCSU, Brockport and Springfield followed with scores of 188.825, 186.475 and 184.55, respectively. Yale's score beat last year's season-high of 187.45 and is the highest the team has scored at a season opener in recent memory.
The Bulldog freshmen made an immediate impact. Joyce Li finished first in the all-around with a score of 38.05 and first on beam with a 9.7. Li was also in the top five on both vault and floor. Morgan Traina took second in the all-around with a 37.8 in addition to a fourth-place finish on vault with a 9.525 and a third-place finish on beam with a 9.65. Traina also tied for second on the uneven bars with junior teammate Lindsay Andsager. Both gymnasts scored a 9.775. Finally, Brianna Chrisman competed two events in her college debut and tied for fifth on bars with a 9.5.
Senior captain Mia Yabut made her all-around debut with a score of 36.275. Yabut placed seventh on bars with a score of 9.425. Additionally, junior Tara Feld placed fifth on beam with a 9.55 and first on floor with a 9.775. Fellow junior Stephanie Goldstein was second on floor with a 9.75. Sophomore Nicole Tay tried for sixth on the event with a 9.65 despite battling sickness during the past week of training.
"We're all really excited because even though we had ups and downs, overall we came out on top today. We'll definitely be going up from here," said Yabut. "Keeping our numbers up and staying consistent is our goal going into our dual meet with Penn. Our bars were stronger than I've ever seen, and floor looked really good. We're also hoping that the few girls who are sick or injured can help us out on beam next week and that we can add more difficulty on vault going into next weekend."
The Bulldogs resume competition Saturday, Jan. 28 at 1:00 p.m. against Penn at Yale's John J. Lee Amphitheater. The meet will serve as both the home and the Ivy opener for the Bulldogs.

ADECA administers funding for two energy assistance programs - the state Weatherization Assistance Program and the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP).
The Alabama Weatherization Assistance Program is funded through a grant from the U. S. Department of Energy. ADECA contracts with local community action agencies and the Central Alabama Regional Planning and Development Commission to deliver weatherization assistance to low-income households in all 67 counties across the state.
The mission is to reduce energy costs for low-income households, particularly for the elderly, people with disabilities and families with children, by improving the energy efficiency of their homes while ensuring their health and safety. In order to receive assistance, the applicant's income must not exceed 200% of the federally established poverty level. (Information on the poverty level can be found on the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services website.)
Alabama weatherization assistance typically includes mitigating outside air infiltration into the conditioned space of the home, installing attic, wall and floor insulation, sealing duct work, performing HVAC system tune-ups and repairs, repairing leaky and/or faulty windows and doors and replacing incandescent light bulbs with highly efficient compact fluorescent light bulbs. Health and safety checks are also performed on the home.

The Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program is funded through a grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. ADECA contracts with community action agencies and local nonprofit agencies to deliver LIHEAP to low-income households throughout the state.
The objectives of LIHEAP are to help low-income families meet the costs of home energy, defined as heating and cooling of residences, and to increase their energy self-sufficiency and reduce their vulnerability resulting from energy needs.
The target population is low-income households, especially those with the lowest incomes and the highest home energy costs or needs in relation to income, taking into account family size. Additional targets are low-income households with members who are especially vulnerable, including the elderly, persons with disabilities and young children. In order to receive assistance, the applicant's household income must not exceed 150% of the federally established poverty level. (Information on the poverty level can be found on the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services website.)
Additional Information:
Many agencies that receive grant funding through ADECA's energy assistance programs are members of the Community Action Association of Alabama. Find out which local agency serves your agency by clicking here.

DUE WEST, S.C. – The No. 9 Georgia College men's tennis team (9-4) grabbed their second-straight win, grounding the Flying Fleet of Erskine College (2-11) in an 8-1 drubbing Friday.

I posted my 25th waymark today — Jefferson Cemetery, Blacklick, Ohio (WM24NE). Seems rather appropriate that my 25th waymark would be a cemetery 🙂
I read on a fellow waymarker's blog the other day that waymarking is like eating potato chips — you can't stop with just one (or even a few!) I've come to realize the truth of that statement!
