GAO Not Kind To CMS's HealthCare.gov. Price Tag Now Tops $840 Million
Posted by: thepinetree on 07/31/2014 11:23 PM
Washington, DC... The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) undertook the development of Healthcare.gov and its related systems without effective planning or oversight practices, despite facing a number of challenges that increased both the level of risk and the need for effective oversight. CMS officials explained that the task of developing a first-of-its-kind federal marketplace was a complex effort with compressed time frames. To be expedient, CMS issued task orders to develop the federally facilitated marketplace (FFM) and federal data services hub (data hub) systems when key technical requirements were unknown, including the number and composition of states to be supported and, importantly, the number of potential enrollees. CMS used cost-reimbursement contracts, which created additional risk because CMS is required to pay the contractor's allowable costs regardless of whether the system is completed. CMS program staff also adopted an incremental information technology development approach that was new to CMS. Further, CMS did not develop a required acquisition strategy to identify risks and document mitigation strategies and did not use available information, such as quality assurance plans, to monitor performance and inform oversight....

Ebbetts Pass, Ca...Welcome to Ebbetts Pass Sporting Goods report on fishing and what's working at all our favorite spots along the Highway 4 corridor -- Come and fish our Highway 4 corridor. With the exception of Spicer Reservoir. all of our lakes, rivers and streams are at normal levels. Don.t miss the opportunity to fish our beautiful scenic highway and enjoy camping along your favorite stream or lake. We look forward to seeing you soon. As of now we have fires in our area and smoke free. We have been experiencing a complete crash of our fishing license computer system. It has hit all of California and will not be up and running at our store until they get the system up and running. No idea when this will happen. You can go on line with our Department Of Fish and Wildlife website. Follow the directions and this will let you purchase your license. You can also go to our website and go to fishing resources and click the tab Take Me Fishing. When the tab opens click on the Fishing tab and look for the Get A License tab in upper right hand corner then click on this tab and it will walk you through the steps to purchase a fishing license on line. Sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused, but it was not our fault. Fishing on the Highway 4 corridor has been good fishing. With our rivers experiencing lower than normal water levels, people should try their hand at fly fishing. Stop by our store on how to benefit from low water levels either from a fly rod or a spinning rod. It is not only fun but challenging to fool a trout with a fly....

Yosemite El Portal Fire Evening Update. 3,545 Acres, 34% Contained, 864 Personnel
Posted by: thepinetree on 07/29/2014 10:05 PM
Yosemite, CA...Today's effort on the El Portal fire resulted in an improved percentage of containment on the southern portion of the fire as well as some steady improvement upon the lower western and easter flanks of the fire. Fire officials do remain concerned over the fire's growth on the north and northeast sections of the fire perimeter as efforts continue to address problem spots along these areas. Steep, rugged terrain continues to challenge the efforts of firefighters but progress is being made. The weather forecast calls for continued high temperatures reaching as high as 100 degrees near El Portal. These patterns will continue as a high pressure over the region remains stationary. Thunderstorm activity, if any, is predicted to stay to the east of the fire. Fire activity is expected to continue through evening particularly in the north and northeast sections of the fire as a result of poor overnight relative humidity recovery...

It's hard to lose such a loveable, cuddly friend. He was a beauty, too. I'm so sorry for the loss of this pet/friend/family member.
My Loki, who is almost 2, looks a lot like him. When my 19 yo pure black Medieval died a little over a year ago, I thought I would wait a year before getting another kitty. I lasted a week, then brought Loki and his foster brother home. I'm not suggesting you go out and get another kitty. They are not replaceable. I'm just suggesting you keep your heart and yourself open. I'll keep you in my heart.

I am so sorry to hear about your sweet cat. He was beautiful and sounds like he was a sweetheart. My two kitties love to lay on patterns when I'm cutting them out too and help me. Hopefully another sweet kitty will come into your live in the future.

I'm so, so sorry to hear about Minor. He looked just like my kitty Leon. I'd imagine they had similar personalities, so I know just what you are missing. I know it's hard - hugs to you! Know that it does get better, though it takes time to remember the good times.

Copac prints high-quality cartons with the HP Indigo WS6600 Digital Press
"HP Indigo's color matching
system is so good, we have
no problem printing a few
thousand cartons, knowing
that in the end we're going to
print a million using offset."
— Tom McRae,
Vice president of sales and marketing
Copac Global Packaging, Inc.
Copac needed to quickly deliver strategic/short runs of labels and folding cartons that matched the print quality of offset, at a lower cost.
Thanks to the speed and flexibility of the
HP Indigo WS6600 Digital Press
, along with the optional Inline Priming unit, Copac can deliver a wide range of applications, including premium carton packaging and finished product samples.
Copac used the HP Indigo WS6600 Digital Press's optional Inline Priming unit to print folding cartons for The Olde Mecklenburg Brewery in just a few days—a turnaround that would have been nearly impossible without HP Indigo technology.
Labels for The Olde Mecklenburg Brewery's seasonal Yule Bock were also produced by Copac on its HP Indigo WS6600 Digital Press.
Copac now produces finished product sales samples that match the output from its offset production line.

glitter mic -
scarterstudios, Lynchburg, VA
I bought this item for a photo booth that my photography studio offers. I was a little disappointed when I received it, the mic was misshapen and glitter extended past the mic part and onto the handle. I think it'll be a great addition to the pictures and it was worth the cost but the other items I received were of better quality.

eta: dammit someone beat me to it so ill post a picture from the gala
Do you know when it will be broadcast?
thanks marikat
hey i just want to know did anyone else vote for tessa and scott in the new poll??
Thanks to you rainbow, I did
Me too......although it was a tough decision between them and Patrick.
Addicted to FSU
I voted for them too. Patrick got a number of accolades last year. T&S deserve some especially because of all her troubles and their grit.
Tessa and Scott. For coming back the way they did, for Tessa especially. Such determination. Like she says, they have the titles, it would've been easier to retire and leave it at that, no one would've criticized them for it. But they chose to continue and she went through another surgery just to come back.
It's just a quick shot, but isn't Tessa the one on the bicycle?
Addicted to FSU
When is CBC airing it? I saw something advertised last weekend which was showing skating fans etc and it was supposed to air in March?
rainbowkisses, thanks for the link. I voted and just in time as the poll ends in a few hours (I think I'm reading it right).
V&M have just upped their games so much this season. Not only in the programs they've chosen but also their skating is better than it's ever been.

The original owner of this house had the Up/Down stairs insulated between the floors because he didnt use the upstairs at all (to save on heat) so this works quite well for sound barrier Attachment 89675

About the Collection
During his twenty years of experienced with the largest cosmetic houses, Dimitri James learned that the money the cosmetic houses spend does not go into the product, but rather it seems to go everywhere but the product: ad campaigns, department store counter space, Park Avenue offices, and, most of all, packaging. Frustrated by his findings, and inspired to offer customers something different, Dimitri James launched Skinn Cosmetics in 2002. His focus was to create a collection of quality products that help the consumer, rather than inexpensive formulas packaged in fancy and expensive packages that cost the consumer.
The Skinn Cosmetic collection contains treatment and color products loaded with anti-aging properties that meet the highest professional and esthetician standards, offered only through televised home shopping, the internet and exclusive, privately owned spas throughout North America.
About the Guest
Founder and CEO of Skinn Cosmetics, Dimitri James has been a Hollywood make-up artist, aesthetician, and cosmetologist for 25 years. He's worked for some of the biggest names in cosmetics, and has manufactured and sold his own cosmetics for 14 years. He created the Skinn Cosmetics collection in 2002, because he felt his customers needed a line of skincare and cosmetics that solved their problems. He invented Skinn Cosmetics, and purchased his own factory so he can manage and control the quality of the line at every step.
His focus is to offer a line of color and skincare products featuring cutting-edge and anti-aging properties, that are concentrated and undiluted by water as a filler, like many of the large cosmetic brands.
"I love creating state of the art products and offering them to my customers at a reasonable price so that every woman who wants to look her best can afford to. My gift is that I can look at a woman and know how she should repackage herself to look her best."-Dimitri James
Founded by noted Hollywood makeup artist Dimitri James, Skinn Cosmetics aims to provide only the finest ingredients and compounds for affordable prices. The best part is, you can find these unique products for impressive prices at ShopHQ. Regardless of your skin type or beauty needs, you'll find an impressive array of quality products from the Skinn Cosmetics line. In addition to a host of top shelf skin care products, try out unique skin care products, cosmetics and beauty accessories. Skinn Cosmetics provides a total beauty arsenal.

text: Find used cars in Illinois with CarsDirect.com. Although it ranks 25th, the median state in terms of land mass, Illinois ranks fifth in the list of most populous U.S. states. Most of the reason for that is the mammoth Chicagoland area around the top urban center of Chicago that, as the state's primary city, has more than two million residents in its city limits and over nine million people in its metro area. The "Windy City" enjoys a unique place in American lore, and now hosts large sports franchises such as the Chicago Cubs, who play in the nation's second oldest major league stadium in Wrigley Field, and the Chicago White Sox—Chicago is also home to the NFL's Chicago Bears and other big name sports teams. As a "hub city," Chicago connects the Mississippi river with the Great Lakes watershed, and its prime location, along with other elements like migration patterns in the twentieth century, contributed to making Chicago its own regional mega-city, second only to New York in the east and Los Angeles in the west. All of the traffic through Chicago and other parts of Illinois adds up to a lot of cars on the road across the state and in the vast area of Chicagoland, where many used car dealers offer their wares to state residents and others from neighboring regions. CarsDirect can help shoppers find the models they are looking for across the state of Illinois or beyond. Take a look at the site's online data tools and pricing info for getting your next car or truck in Chicago or elsewhere in Illinois.

The Wikipedia article I linked to doesn't say if you don't think Jesus is historical you're an idiot, in fact I didn't see any place that said that. The article I linked gives detailed information on the argument and evidence for Jesus being historical.
As a skeptic, all I conclude is that those who study the issue think Jesus is historical. I don't feel justified in judging the issue myself nor do I feel any need to. I do think it is interesting what those studying the issue have to say about it. I'm not seeing any reason to suggest that this field should be treated differently than any other scholarly field regarding its general consensus. To me, I would want to see some reasons why they would be giving out an insufficient or false answer to the question of Jesus being historical before I would be ready to dismiss their work.
New information arises and scholarly consensus does change, but that is also something for me I think requires some evidence.

Indeed! Maybe Parson just casted his first spell... Unknowingly ... and to his disadvantage...
If I remember correctly, the other spells also had pretty funny incantation, "Benny Hill" would make perfect sense as a spell to compel a pursuit.

I am only interested in lossless files, e.g. WMA or FLAC (i.e. mp3 not allowed) and I am not interested in Apple solutions.
It must be possible. What are the options? A few solutions I have found are
1) Use a music player like a Latte Espresso mp3 player that uses a FM transceiver so the FM car radio picks it up.
2) Use a car tuner with DLNA and plug the music player into a front aux jack.
Anybody make either of these work?
Is there another way to accomplish this?

The National Institute of Standards and Technology has identified 65 forensic science challenges in the cloud, and is working to build a roadmap to overcoming them.
Peter Azzopardi's insight:
"One of the big differences is that, in the traditional forensics, law enforcement will go in and physically seize that hardware and be able to have full control over it. In the cloud, that's just not the case. Everything is remote," Herman said.
There have been some big happenings in the cloud space recently, and we're embarking on a series of articles which look at where those developments...
Peter Azzopardi's insight:
Simply building the system revealed dozens of all new possibilities that someday, someone will be able to incorporate into their business, ....
Legacy systems management software and tools are woefully inept at providing visibility into cloud applications and services. Here's why we need new methods.
Peter Azzopardi's insight:
Prior to the emergence of cloud computing, IT's management responsibilities didn't extend much beyond the walls of the enterprise, or for larger organizations, the periphery of their corporate area network.
Six reasons why cloud computing will transform the way banks serve clients – and the five hurdles to overcome
By providing near-unlimited hardware and software resources on an off-the-peg, pay-as-you-go basis over the internet, cloud computing drives down costs, enables innovation and creates the flexibility to respond to change.
Peter Azzopardi's insight:
..... In a recent policy paper, the EC's European Cloud Partnership spelt out the need to tackle issues around data, privacy security and legal differences across national boundaries.

"DevOps" is one of those tech industry buzz words that is mentioned everywhere but is often misunderstood. The term seems to have lost its true meaning and if you asked ten different industry professionals to define it, you would get ten different answers. Although a precise definition is still elusive, bobsguide provides greater insight into DevOps and how Cloud Computing is helping to accelerate its influence in the tech industry.
Peter Azzopardi's insight:
Although the definition of DevOps may not be certain, one thing is clear, DevOps can be described as being about more than just automating virtual server deployment and configuration.

Will OpenStack really dominate the cloud computing scene in the future?
Peter Azzopardi's insight:
OpenStack has grown and developed over the past four years, to the point where it is now garnering serious attention from IT executives and developers around the world.
The generally accepted definition of cloud computing comes from the US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), which says it should enable convenient, on-demand access to a shared pool of computing resources - like networks, servers, storage, applications and services.
Peter Azzopardi's insight:
As well as lower costs, business agility, flexibility and ease of use are still the main attractions for using the cloud. European Commission research, which questioned almost 500 companies, showed that over 80 per cent of those who were already using the cloud, saw a reduction in IT costs of between 10 and 20 per cent. 12 per cent saw an impressive 30 per cent or more reduction.

IT insiders have been touting the potential benefits of public, private and hybrid clouds for years, but since the sector is often prone to exaggeration, IT managers would be wise to read up on the subject before investing resources into cutting-edge tech.
Peter Azzopardi's insight:
It is clear that the purported cloud computing benefits are real, and the only real question left for IT managers is how to best adopt their own.
Small and midsized businesses say cloud is key to customer service, expansion, finds survey by Oxford Economics for Windstream.
Peter Azzopardi's insight:
Thirty-six percent said cloud was responsible for pushing control of IT out to line-of-business users today; in two years, 53% expected that would be the case.
This cloud retrospective aims to give a high-level view of cloud's history and question what that means beyond 2014
Peter Azzopardi's insight:

Comments about Cycle Aware Cycleaware Hotrod MTB Handlebar Led:
When I was a kid I used to bike into town to see friends a lot, and it was always enjoyable. I didn't always look forward to the ride back though - about an hour of unlit highway and cars speeding by. Since this light was on sale I thought I'd pick one up for the odd time I'm doing that sort of thing.
The idea of sticking the lights out the end of your bar is sound; it being the widest part of your profile already, extending lights beyond that makes you look appear closer to drivers, making them more likely to give you space. If a car hits the light-bar it may snap off (instead of spinning you around) but probably would depend how tight you're holding on.
There's a plastic "C"-ring around the middle section, which surrounds a sort of ramp - once you insert the bar, turn it counter-clockwise to tighten it in place.
Its design is well thought out, but take note that you need at minimum a 20mm opening in your bar-end for this to fit. CycleAware apparently didn't consider this, because there is nothing about size in their promotional materials, packaging, or website, which is why the rating. My aluminum OE bars only have about a 17.5mm opening, so I was unable to this as designed.
