The end game comes into focus on another powerful episode of FX's "Justified" (9 p.m., cable channel 43).
Neal McDonough gives another strong performance as the carpetbagger Quarles, who's generally just starting to lose it the more he's stuck in Harlan. His ultimate boss back in Detroit is finally introduced -- a familiar face who last went evil on FX's "Sons of Anarchy."

UPDATE: At least one competitor will be selling food at Sunday's Muttfest 2012 in Memorial Park at 24th Avenue and Washington Street. Nonna's Kitchenette, a New Jersey outfit that focuses on Italian food, contacted Muttfest organizers Wednesday.

It's official today: AGN Media Publisher Les Simpson announced at a press conference this morning that this year's July 4th Fireworks Festival would, indeed, feature the return of fireworks.
Acknowledging that last year's laser show was the best of a bad, drought-fueled situation, Simpson said that Oklahoma-based Western Enterprises would provide a pyrotechnics show choreographed to music performed live by the Amarillo Symphony.
Mayor Paul Harpole said the city will still enforce an "absolute ban" on fireworks inside city limits.

There's no doubt what's made TNT's revival of "Dallas" (8 p.m., cable channel 42) work so well -- its incorporation of its legacy characters, particularly J.R. and Bobby.
Oh, who are we kidding? It's mostly J.R.
Tonight's episode, though, is the first that really tests the rest of the cast. Larry Hagman's J.R. only appears in one brief scene, talking on the telephone and not even interacting in person with another cast member. It's probably due to his health woes while filming this season.

More gymnastics and track and field events dominate tonight's NBC coverage of the Olympics (7 p.m., cable channel 5), but TV fans also will get a bonus: A preview of the network's anticipated drama "Revolution" will air sometime during the night.
I don't know when, exactly, and I can't tell you too much about the show. I haven't watched the premiere episode yet and my plan to do so this morning was foiled by the fact that NBC has pulled all of its fall screeners from its press site.

Last week's spectacular season finale of TNT's "Dallas" leaves me with a great void in my Wednesday-night viewing.
The CW's "Oh Sit!" (7 p.m., cable channel 11) will not fill it, sad to say.
As promising as the game show is from its title alone, I just don't see myself getting the same pleasure out of a bunch of goons playing an extreme version of musical chairs.

Amarillo native John Rich is back on TV as one of the mentors of The CW's new singing competition "The Next" (8 p.m., cable channel 11).
Rich, who first found fame as a member of Lonestar before forming the duo Big & Rich, joins Joe Jonas, Nelly and Gloria Estefan for the series. The mentors will travel to six cities (first up, Orlando, Fla., with Dallas to come), spend 72 hours with their singers, all of whom have found some measure of success locally or regionally but haven't taken the next step.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

A convicted burglar has admitted to 11 recent residential break-ins in west Nashville, said police.
Matthew Vitalis, 26, admitted to break-ins beginning in early March on Pennywell Drive, Russleo Drive, Davidson Drive, Cross Creek Road, Park Lane, Castleman Drive, Lindawood Drive, Wallace Lane and three on Trimble Road.
Vitalis, who had been staying at the Comfort Inn on White Bridge Place, became a person of interest after officers recovered a backpack that Vitalis left behind at a home March 29 on Davidson Drive.
Vitalis was arrested last week on two outstanding probation violations.
Police said while he was in jail, officers received confirmation that a fingerprint lifted from the April 5 Pennywell Drive break-in belonged to Vitalis.
Vitalis later admitted to the 11 burglaries saying he broke into the homes, primarily through windows, to support a drug habit.
Vitalis, who remains jailed, was charged Thursday with the Pennywell Drive burglary. Warrants charging Vitalis with the remaining 10 break-ins were issued against him Monday morning.

Do You Have A Spring Cleaning Routine?
Our routine is pretty simple. When the Spring Cleaning bug comes over us, we crank up the music, open the windows, and let the games begin! While we don't have a rigid, bullet-pointed list, we definitely don't stop until we conquer our main cleaning and organizing goals.
Once we have chosen the best time to embark on a pretty intense clean for the season, the key for us is to find a good soundtrack, and to ensure that we have lunch or snacks on-hand. We often will get on such a tear that we don't have the time or inclination to stop, so an easy to grab sandwich comes in handy. One small ritual we have is to light s few fragrant candles when we start, so that by the time we're done cleaning the aroma has permeated the air.
For purposes of our routine break-down, let's presume that the house is already tidy, and that we're simply getting down to the nitty-gritty. We've already done the dishes, hung up the clothes on the chair, and filed the random bills that have piled up. Now we're going deep.
Since we usually cover the whole house at once, we start with a thorough dusting of all of the surfaces. We love our swiffer duster, and make sure to get every top shelf, the insides of empty vases, the tops of books — all of the dust-accumulating spots we may not always cover, normally.
Our next step is to strip the bed and put them in the wash. Once the bed is bare, it's time to rotate the mattress, which gives us the opportunity to vacuum thoroughly under the bed — dust bunnies are made much worse with a dog that sheds a lot!
Once we've vacuumed under the bed and put the mattress back on we continue vacuuming the rest of the house. For our super intense clean, we really get the baseboards, move any furniture that we can, and get all the cracks and crevices. We also do the floors of closets (which usually requires moving shoes and things out first), blinds, and window sills.
We'd like to say that we move very efficiently on to our next task, which is the cleaning the remaining floors. But if you really want to know the behind-the-scenes routine, we usually get sidetracked at this point sorting our shoes. (See closet cleaning above.) We rationalize the delay of the "cleaning" portion of the day because decluttering is just as important a step in our routine. Once we're done with the shoes, we often continue with our clothing. Once we've covered these two, we're ready to get back to business.
At this point we'll sweep and mop all of the hard flooring in the house. We're motivated by the fresh smell of Murphy's Oil Soap, so that keeps us going strong. This usually leads us into the bathroom, where we do an intense clean of the toilet, sink, and shower. The whole room should be shining before we're out of it.
Next comes windows. If possible, we often tackle the outsides of the windows, as well as really getting down on the sills. Since this brings us outside, we often end up sweeping the patio and tidying our outdoor area. No intense yard work, though — that's for another day.
This is when we start to wind down, at which point we will often pare down our knick knacks, straighten and adjust art on the walls, and get caught in the occasional micro-clean (computer keyboard, for instance!).
For a grand finish, we usually run the vacuum once more to catch any dust that has settled in the process. We'll re-make the bed, Febreeze any reasonably fabric-y thing in the house, twirl around in the middle of the room like a caricature of a 50s housewife, and collapse in the nearest cozy spot to revel in the cleanliness!
Our Spring Cleaning routine even makes us feel rejuvenated just talking about it. What rituals do you have for your home? Any tips or hints to make the process even more rewarding?

Gah! AT, please, please, please stop with the abuse of the editorial "we".
It really annoys the hell out of us, and we find it disconcerting to boot.
We are newlyweds and will be married a year in July~ I am some what of a clean freak so I already had our spring cleaning list ready!
Here was our this year:
Ditto Peper
Alas, yes I *do* have a spring cleaning routine. I decide that I really do need to clean everything, air out the rooms, wash the windows, wipe down baseboards, reorganize closets and all of those tasks I don't do on a regular basis. I set an approximate date to do the work. At the beginning of the week, all heck breaks loose at work, so I delay the job for another week. The next week my trick knee acts up, so I defer the work to the next week to give it time to heal. That week, a co-worker working on a tough project needs my help and this help expands into all of my space time, so I delay the cleaning for yet another week. The next week, my best friend has some serious life drama so I am on call to do telephone counseling around the clock - I start vacuuming the living room, rotate the rug and right after I move the sofa to vacuum behind it, my friend calls in distress (there goes the afternoon and evening). After the call, I collapse on the sofa (which is in the middle of the room at this point) worn out by the marathon call and delay cleaning to the next week. The next week, I trip over the sofa in the dark (I never moved it back because I hadn't vacuumed behind it yet) on the way to the kitchen for a late night snack and can't clean because I broke a toe (or have a serious, painfully bruised shin or some other malady) so the date gets moved into the next week. And so it goes.... It suddenly becomes autumn, I move the sofa back without vacuuming behind it and I dream of actually doing spring cleaning next year...
I don't "spring clean". I do most of the tidying, floor scrubbing, general stuff week to week, with some parts about once a month. If I see dust, I dust. If I don't notice that there's dust, it waits until I do. I try to keep things pretty tolerable all the time, but I don't go nuts over it. Probably once a year of so, I move all the little knick-knacks off their shelves and dust thoroughly, because that's a pain, but since mostly nobody handles the things, the dust isn't too noticible!
I do a wardrobe inspection/overhaul in the fall and in the late spring, usually. I take everything (and I do mean EVERYTHING) out of the closet and put it on the bed. I look at every item and decide if I wear it and like it (back to the closet) or like it but don't wear it (closet or Goodwill bag -- it's ok to have some things just to make you smile, even if you don't wear them!), or don't much like it any more (definitely Goodwill bag.) I mend what needs mending or discard it. I hang short sleeved shirts together by color, ditto long sleeves, ditto vests, etc. (The color order doesn't last the re-hanging after a few launderings, but it's nice for a while! Plus it lets me see where there are gaps in my wardrobe after thinning it out, for shopping purposes.)
At Christmas time I do the same basic thing with decorations, getting rid of the ones I don't love any more to make room for new things.
There is usually a point in my year for everything to have a decision made, and I do it then -- I guess clean "mindfully" throughout the year which makes a mad burst of cleaning at some specific moment unnecessary -- which is important since I would never have enough time for eveything at once anyhow!
@KWorld - Thank you for letting me know I'm not alone!!! :)
@KWorld, it sounds like you need a motivational phone call! I have one friend that I IM and setup a time to call. Then we get on the phone and both work on projects. I can clean like crazy while I'm on the phone with her and still catch up. And then when one or both of us has killed the batteries on her phone, we hang up and enjoy our completed tasks. It's fantastic. Otherwise I'd never manage to finish everything anything.

"He talks, he says all this, but you know what: He doesn't want the fight," Pacquiao firmly told Yahoo! Sports in an exclusive interview. "I want the fight. I'm the one who has wanted this fight all along."
Manny Pacquiao has wanted a fight with Floyd Mayweather dating all the way back to Floyd's days in "retirement." Then, last month, Manny mysteriously refused to sign the contract that would have booked the match he's wanted for years. Now we know why:
From Kevin Iole:
"He offered me $40 million, and no pay-per-view [money]," Pacquiao said, breaking into a laugh. "No pay-per-view. Can you believe that? What would he say if I offered him $50 million – not $40 million, $50 million – and said 'No pay-per-view. Take this money and be happy, but no pay-per-view.' He wouldn't do it, either."
The fight, if it ever happens, would pit the two best fighters and the two biggest draws in the sport against one another. It would likely generate more than $160 million in pay-per-view revenue in the U.S. alone.
"I told him, 'OK, 50-50 [with the money] and I'll agree to everything else,' " Pacquiao said. "I told him I would agree to all of the other things he was demanding. Everything. Even the blood testing he wanted, I would do it. But it had to be 50-50."
Pacquiao said he told Koncz to offer Mayweather a guarantee of $50 million with the rest of the revenue being split, with 55 percent going to the winner and 45 percent going to the loser.
One of the many unfortunate problems, and likely the deal-crusher, is that Floyd Mayweather believes he's the sole reason a Mayweather vs. Pacquiao match-up would gain so much attention. He thinks he deserves more money.
Why won't Floyd split the purse 50/50? Why won't Floyd agree to give more money to the winner?

After starting April winless in four games, the Braves had a chance to finish it atop the National League East.
They'll have to wait, though, after a 9-3 loss on Monday dropped them one-half game behind the upstart Washington Nationals, who were idle.
As downtrodden as the Phillies seem to be so far this season, some things never change. The Braves want to take over first place? They will have to go through the five-time defending division champions, who visit Atlanta for the next three days, their first trip to Turner Field since knocking the Braves out of the postseason last Sept. 26-28.
The Braves spent the last four games of April getting more than they wanted from the Pirates, who came into the wrap-around series with the lowest-scoring offense in the major leagues by 18 runs.
The Pirates scored a season-high nine Monday to split the series 2-2 and break up a streak of five straight series victories by the Braves since their season-opening sweep by New York. James McDonald outpitched Mike Minor, who gave up a season-high seven runs in 6 1/3 innings.
"(McDonald) kept them in the game and their offense came alive," said Braves center fielder Michael Bourn, who went 1-for-5 and got thrown out in a controversial play at second. "They hit the ball well tonight. There are going to be games like this sometimes."
The Pirates, who were averaging a majors'-worst 2.33 runs per game, snapped a streak of 21 games with five or fewer runs, the longest such streak to open a season since the Brewers did it for 31 straight in 1972.
"They're not a bad team, I'm telling you," Bourn said. "Any team that can pitch, they're always going to be in the game. And they have one of the better pitching staffs in the National League to me."
The Braves managed only seven earned runs in 23 innings in four games against the Pirates starters, while striking out 27 times. The Braves struck out 10 times in 7 2/3 innings against McDonald.
Eric Hinske was a rare bright spot for the Braves, going 4-for-4, with a double and an RBI, in his second start of the year in right field after Jason Heyward sat out with a sore oblique. Four hits matched a career-high for Hinske, who last did it July 4, 2004 with the Blue Jays.
For the Braves, Minor was not the sharp and confident young pitcher he'd been in his previous three starts, all Braves wins. He gave up as many runs his first four innings on Monday – four – as he had in those previous three games combined.
"His command got a little bit erratic there and for me he couldn't get any of his stuff over the plate," Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez said. "He had to come back over the plate and they capitalized on that. But he's been so good; he's allowed to have one of these outings."
The pitch he'll remember most is a first-pitch mistake to Pedro Alvarez, his former Vanderbilt teammate, who homered for the third time in a week to put the Pirates up 4-2.
Alvarez figured to be the only real home-run threat in the Pirates' lineup – he has five homers, while the rest of the Pirates have seven. But Yamaico Navarro didn't let it stop him from taking Minor over the left field wall for a two-run shot in the sixth and only the third home run of his career.
"They showed if I don't make good pitches what happens to them," said Minor, now 2-2 with a 4.68 ERA. "And tonight I really didn't have any command of any pitches."
The night had started well for the Braves, though it was with mixed emotions. Freddie Freeman ambushed McDonald with a two-run home run on the first pitch he saw in the first inning, his fourth of the year. It might have been good for three runs had Bourn not been called out at second base on a steal attempt, when it appeared his left leg was in safely.
The normally agreeable Bourn immediately reacted, arguing with second base umpire Kerwin Danley, before Gonzalez came out to act as a buffer. The run-in was the Braves' second in as many days with this umpiring crew after Tim Hudson and Doug Eddings exchanged words Sunday afternoon, though both Bourn and Gonzalez said it never got close to an ejection.
"I wasn't cussing at him or anything like that," Bourn said. "I wasn't using any foul language. I know when I'm safe and when I'm out. If I'm out, I'm not going to make an argument about it, I'll take it. But three of the calls this year, I've been safe. I just want it to be right."

Bourn is a stand up guy and a class act. We'll bounce back, gotta down the evil Phillies

Can someone please tell Fredi to stop saying "Bourny"? Such an unnecessary nickname.

Send Minor down to AAA. Allowing 6 runs to a team that scores six runs in a week is unacceptable.

There weren't very many positives you could take from this one. Pretty bad all the way around.

We are going to easily sweep the Phillies in this next 3 game series. They don't have Chase Utley and Ryan Howard. Look how many runs they can score without them? Not too many! We can at least get 5 runs a game, so Philly is going to be in trouble! Their hitters are no match against our pitching rotation. I love this pitching rotation we have! It reminds me of the Glavine, Smoltz, and Maddux trio!

McCann in the middle of this line-up is killing the offense. If he has to play he should hit 7 or 8. Right now, he is the Braves 2nd best catcher.

Fact: Pitching is without question – the name of the game – the most important element in having a winning team.
Fact: In the 6 or 7 years since Leo left as Pitching Coach — of all the Starting Pitchers that the Braves have had in these 6 or 7 years – almost
May 1st, 2012
9:21 am
Almost every Starting Pitcher in the large number of Starters that the Braves have had in the 6 or 7 years since Leo left as Pitching Coach – almost EVERY ONE OF THESE has ended up being injured.
The REASON that all the writers ignore this IS:
_____ (a) – We do not think that Pitching is important; (or)
_____ (b) – With all the Pitching talent the we have, even if all of these are injured and
and we end up wasting the opportunity to be competetive for years to come,
we will evetually develop some additonal pithing talent. (or)
_____ (c) – We do not agree with the fact that most pitchers, after seirious injurey, do not
come back to being effective. (or)
_____ (d) – We are under orders to ignore this and not make an issue of it.

McCann hasn't had a hit in what seems like a week, and down to .230 for the season. Something wrong with him we're not hearing about? If he's going to remain in the everyday lineup, he needs to be moved significantly down in the order until he gets hot again. Heyward has been batting north of .300 from the #7 spot with no protection but Pastornicky. Batting order should look like this…
May 1st, 2012
11:46 am
bringing in Durbin to let in 3 More Runs was not an improvement… FG !
Mcann will beak out soon enough, he always does.. he's durable and a road warrior these othe Younger guys look up to… stop Bashing Mc'Cann !!!!
Freeman hit well, Hinske, and Bourn only got a bad break.. it happens… Don't change the Game-plan over one Loss.
May 1st, 2012
1:03 pm
@ just sayin', I actually don't mind that lineup order. I think Heyward needs to be moved up and I like him and Freeman back to back. Doubt it will happen, though.
May 1st, 2012

The Pirates had help. It's name was Fredi Gonazalez. Who will Fredi help next. SOS, leave pitcher in way past their expiration while managing by 100 pitch loser rule.

T-Mobile is one of the largest mobile networks in Poland, providing a full range of telecommunication services to both private and institutional customers. The T-Mobile network offers mobile and fixed line telephone and Internet services in subscription, pre-paid and "mix" systems.
Polska Telefonia Cyfrowa S.A. (PTC) is the operator of the T-Mobile network in Poland. PTC was established in 1995 as a limited liability company. On August 1, 2011, PTC was transformed into a joint-stock company. The first co-founder (and currently sole owner) of PTC is the Deutsche Telekom (DT) Group – a global telecommunications company that owns T-Mobile and T-Systems, among others. DT provides services to approximately 200 million customers across 50 countries. In 1996, Polska Telefonia Cyfrowa commenced its commercial activity under the name of Era GSM and, subsequently, Era. It quickly became one of the largest telecommunication companies in Poland. On June 5, 2011, PTC introduced Poland to the international brand, T-Mobile, which replaced the previous brand – Era. Thanks to this, PTC customers joined a family of approximately 128 million customers throughout the world who use the services of the T-Mobile network. PTC was the first Polish operator to launch GPRS packet data transfer, present UMTS technology and video calls using a mobile telephone, as well as to make available the new HSDPA and HSPA+ technologies allowing the use of wireless broadband data transfer, among many other things. Currently, the operator provides services to approximately 15 million customers and its network covers nearly 100% of Poland's territory and its inhabitants.
PTC offers two categories of services: T-Mobile – covering subscription offers for private and business customers; and Pre-paid T-Mobile – a pre-paid service in the T-Mobile and Heyah networks. The company's offer also includes voice and non-voice services, such as wireless Internet access and multi-media services. For business customers T-Mobile provides comprehensive solutions in the areas of communications, data transfer and specialized applications. T-Mobile also offers mobile Internet access service: blueconnect. This service uses HSPA+ Dual Carrier, HSPA+, HSPA, UMTS, EDGE, GPRS or WLAN technologies allowing immediate wireless access to the Internet, corporate resources, and e-mail from any location for a fixed monthly charge or under the pre-paid system. Blueconnect mobile Internet can be used nationwide in Poland - and even abroad – via international roaming. In 2003, PTC launched a widespread HotSpot network offering WLAN-based wireless Internet access. In March 2005, PTC introduced the BlackBerry® service, which is a popular solution in wireless communication throughout the world. Thanks to being a part of the international Deutsche Telekom Group, PTC can offer its customers the most popular mobile phones, such as iPhone 4S, as well as modern technologies. In 2012, Poland became one of the first DT Group countries where T-Mobile customers could enjoy mobile payments using the NFC technology.
Apart from mobile services, PTC also offers fixed-line services based on the company's own network infrastructure. The "Home Tariff" and "Company Tariff" services, introduced in 2006, were the first fixed-line solutions to combine the benefits of both fixed-line and mobile telephones. Another fixed-line offer, which was implemented using the PTC infrastructure, is the "Fixed-line Number" – a unique solution that allows a mobile and fixed-line number to share a single SIM card. T-Mobile customers can also use fixed-line services based on the infrastructure of traditional operators. Customers can transfer or subscribe to new fixed-line telephone services – "Home Telephone" and "Business Line", as well as broadband fixed-line Internet – "Home Internet".
PTC employs approximately 5,200 people and is rated one of the best employers in the Polish market. It has won numerous competitions, such as Leader in HR Management, organized by the Institute of Labour and Social Studies. The Company has also received a number of prestigious awards for its implemented HR policies, such as: Reliable Employer 2008 and Top Employer three years in a row: in 2010, 2011 and 2012. The company is nationwide one of the best-known sponsors of major cultural, sports, educational, and charity initiatives. Some of the most important PTC projects include the "T-Mobile New Horizons" film festival, sponsorship of top-class football matches – "T-Mobile Ekstraklasa", and the "Together for others" social programme. The company has received numerous awards and prizes for their sponsorship activities.

Vive La Pants Libre!... French Women Now Legally Able To Wear Pants
It's from La Parisian so pardon my brutal translation. It appears the law banning women from wearing pants was enacted during the French Fevolution.
"Par opposition aux aristocrates, les révolutionnaires avaient revendiqué le port du pantalon, comme les femmes, ce qui leur avait été interdit."
I think this translates kinda sorta as the French Revolutionaries found the wearing of pants to have been inspired by the decadent aristocracy to which they were opposed and so banned em.

Let's March!
Developing motor skills, physical fitness, and fun through marching
Marching also encourages and promotes physical fitness. "Because it's an exaggerated movement, it uses more of the child's own weight than does walking, which means it promotes muscular strength, one of the five health-related fitness factors," Pica says. "And if it's a lively bout of marching (lasting for several minutes), it can also promote cardiovascular endurance, another of the fitness factors."
Marching Activities
Pica suggests practicing marching in place, then challenging your child to see how high he can lift his knees and swing his arms. "While marching, turn in one direction and then the other," she says. "Pretend to play a musical instrument typically found in a marching band, like a slide trombone, or cymbals. And, of course, you can put on a recording of a march, or break out the pots and pans and hold a parade around the house or yard. It doesn't matter if it's only a two-person parade!"
Clark offers these five activities:
- Make your own marching streamers. Let your child help you glue two paper plates together so they are sturdy. Cut a hole out of the center, creating a doughnut shape. Let your child glue or tape ribbon, crepe paper, or strips of paper to the paper plate. Your toddler can wave the streamer as he or she marches.
- Play some Sousa marches or other loud music. Have your child march around the room. When the music stops, your child "freezes" in place. When the music begins again, your child continues marching.
- Here's a great way for parents to relax while toddlers march. Simply sit in a chair and tell your toddler, "Can you march to the refrigerator?" After they reach the refrigerator say, "Now I'd like to see you march to the TV room and touch the green chair." Your child marches all over the house while you get a few minutes to rest your feet!
- Try going outside and marching around the neighborhood. Your toddler exerts extra effort and might just take a nap. While you're outside, incorporate some learning activities. Say something like, "Let's walk to the mailbox." "Now let's march to the blue car." "Time to walk to the street light." Continue to alternate walking and marching, which helps your child develop listening skills.
- Find an area that has some space to move. Play a game of follow-the-leader, where you march and your child follows you. Try marching with your hands on your head, march while crouching down low and march sideways. Then let your child be the leader.

DoD calls off annual procurement conference
Tuesday - 5/1/2012, 8:37pm EDT
The invitation-only DoD Procurement Conference and Training Symposium was to have taken place in Orlando, Fla. Between May 21 and May 24. A notice posted on a department website said officials had decided they needed more time to better align the training programs with DoD acquisition policy. It wasn't immediately clear whether recent backlash against agency-sponsored conferences in the wake of the General Services Administration scandal played a role in the decision.
An industry source who had planned to participate in the conference said attendees weren't notified of the cancellation by DoD, but rather by the Orlando hotels where they had booked rooms. Participants were told they would not be charged for conference fees or hotel rooms, but would be on the hook for any airfare they had already booked.
"We were all stunned by the news and how we were first alerted," the attendee said.
The DoD notice indicated that officials expect to reschedule the conference for later this year.
DoD's director of Defense pricing and director of Defense procurement and acquisition policy, which organized the conference, originally expected 1,600 attendees from government and industry. Topics were to include affordability and cost growth control, productivity and innovation, competition, negotiations, small business participation, and services acquisition policies related to DoD's Better Buying Power initiative.

WAUSAU, Wis. (WSAU-Woodchucks) -- The Wisconsin Woodchucks three-run eighth inning rally would lead them to victory over the Battle Creek Bombers 7-6.
Fourth of July action began with play resumed from a June 5th rain out, where the game was suspended in the top of the second inning with the Woodchucks leading the Bombers 2-0.
The Bombers tied up the game in that inning. Joe Serrano scored from third base after John Clay Reeves' throwing error trying to throw out a runner at second base. Daniel Cucjen scored later in the inning on a single to right field from Bombers' teammate Cam Gibson to even up the game at two.
The Woodchucks regained the lead in the bottom of the fourth after a Joey Rodriguez would hit a fly ball deep enough to allow Reeves to score on the play and give the Woodchucks a 3-2 lead. A four-run fifth inning allowed the Bombers to regain the lead back from the Woodchucks. After the third straight single to begin the inning from Matt Fears, Matthew Goodson came into score to even the score at three. A double by Rouric Bridgewater would bring home Gibson on the play to regain the lead. Another double by Kade Scivique brought in Bridgewater to give the Bombers a 6-3 advantage.
A home run by Woodchucks' third baseman Josh Goossen-Brown would cut the Bombers deficit to two.
The Woodchucks rallied and took the lead back after a three-run eighth inning. After two singles to lead off the inning, Austin Diemer would pinch hit for Goossen-Brown looking to sacrifice the runners over. After a wild pitch advanced both runners into scoring position, Diemer would hit a two-run triple down the right field line. Reeves would drive in Diemer in the very next at-bat to give the Woodchucks a 7-6 advantage which would be the difference in the game.

Creating a peaceful prayer garden
Patty Bonicatto, of Pequot Lakes, has a flower garden to rival the pictures in magazines. Surrounding her house are bursts of color texture from a variety of plants.
For Patty, creating her garden meant creating a place to pray.
"This is sort of my prayer garden," she said. "I needed a place to sit and relax and pray."
Patty began gardening in 1993, but didn't really take to it until she moved to the area in 1999 and began a transformation of her yard.

Foreign investment hints at life in natural gas
The private sector suggests that one way or another, Obama won't be a headwind for long.
By Jim Cramer, TheStreet
Every time I think that I am being too optimistic about the Marcellus Shale, I get shocked into discovering there is much more natural gas in the play than I thought and much more value than anyone realizes.
This morning's announcement that Mitsui (MITSY) will pay $1.4 billion for a third of Anadarko's (APC) Marcellus' assets is breathtaking both in its surprise value -- another new player with lots of cash coming in -- and its price tag given that Anadarko is not a huge player in the Marcellus.
I just had Range Resources (RRC) on last week, the first and biggest player in Marcellus, and this new valuation makes me think that RRC, which is regarded as overvalued by some analysts because of its premium valuation to the big established Barnett players (thought to be the highest-grade shale deposit, and one that Range and Anadarko have stakes in) is actually cheap.
The astonishing thing about all of this Japanese involvement (Sumitomo's there, too) is how much money is going into the play, with Mitsui's contribution equivalent to what it put into the gigantic Sakhalin field in Russia.
Until this announcement I would never put Marcellus on par with that field, which is considered to be the biggest in the world.
One thing's for certain -- if Marcellus, which is in a much more "stable" place than Sakhalin, can get that kind of investment, you can be sure that the Japanese believe that the country is going to go more toward the cleaner fuel than we have now.
There's no way you make this kind of commitment if natural gas is just going to remain the heating fuel (63% of our homes use it) and a sometimes fuel for industry.
Find a new broker and start trading
You would think that it means we are going to embrace natural gas as the "transition" fuel to non-carbon sources.
Here's the problem. The president favors coal as the transition fuel and is adamant about that because he has such high hopes for carbon sequestration. Of course, it's a technology that has never been proven, but his administration has embraced it like no other. That leaves no room for natural gas as an important fuel, and without some sort of incentives for using natural gas as a truck fuel, you have to believe that the U.S. is headed for the ridiculous situation where we will become a huge exporter of natural gas.
I know, it's really amazing. We have a cleaner-burning fuel than oil or coal that we will be exporting because of a president's intransigence. But haven't we seen that same quality with health-care debate? Haven't we realized that with Obama it's his way or the highway, even though the traditional media remains fearful of saying just that?
So we go about the absurdity of setting up what were once liquefied natural gas (LNG) import stations to being LNG export stations, and we stay coal- and oil-based.
How sure am I of this export bent? John Pinkerton, the CEO of Range Resources, suggested that on "Mad Money" last week, pointing out that the vast Alaska natural gas field pipeline project will send natural gas to Asia because we will have a surfeit here. Remember, despite one of the coldest and most endless winters on record with nationwide snowstorms, the price of natural gas hasn't even rallied because of the surfeit ... and we aren't pumping anywhere near what we can pump.
So, Mitsui must know this. It must know that the shale's huge, that it's going to make a profit long term, which therefore includes a projection that the nat gas critic Obama is a one-termer, and that the United States will become an important exporter because it has no place to put all of its natural gas.
The natural gas proponents keep telling me that there is "movement" and that Congress is going to be offering some incentives for trucks to transition from diesel, but that seems farfetched to me given that it is the least in-favor fuel with the president.
But it is heartening to note that the industry is taking a longer-term view and is setting up for the U.S. to be a powerhouse provider of energy, as it was in the 1920s when there were discoveries everywhere and the vision of having to import oil from the Middle East was just a bizarre fantasy.
