John Polanowicz will replace JudyAnn Bigby as Secretary of Health and Human Services.
"They come to their new positions with the expertise, the talent, the respect and the vision to achieve our bold agenda over the next two years," said Governor Deval Patrick of his four new cabinet secretary appointees. "Time is of the essence, and I have a team of leaders to take on the challenges and seize the opportunities we all know are on the horizon."
Polanowicz currently serves as the President and CEO of St. Elizabeth's Medical Center. Prior to that, the West Point graduate and Stanford MBA served for eight years as the President of Marlborough Hospital.
Dr. Bigby has led the largest agency in state government for the past six years and is universally regarded as a tireless advocate for those who often have no one to advocate for them, according to a release from the governor.
He has served as President of St. Elizabeth's Medical Center in Brighton since 2011, overseeing the largest steward hospital with 272 beds and approximately 2,000 employees.
Glen Shor will replace Jay Gonzalez as Secretary of Administration and Finance. He currently serves as the Executive Director of the Commonwealth Health Insurance Connector Authority, the state's official public health insurance exchange.
Matt Malone will replace Paul Reville as Secretary of Education.
Sheriff Andrea Cabral will replace Marybeth Heffernan as Secretary of Public Safety and Security. In ten years as Suffolk County Sheriff, Cabral has been lauded for reforming prisoner reentry programs and modernizing the county's correctional facilities.
The transition will take place next month as the Patrick-Murray Administration prepares for the beginning of the 2013-2014 legislative session.

Even as a child, Chris Medina was "magnetic."
"He had a way of making people feel at ease," said his mother, Gloria Medina. "That's what draws people to him—his mild, calm demeanor."
Perhaps it was that quiet conviction and sensitivity in his that attracted fans from around the world, she said. As he spoke of his love and commitment to and his role as caretaker, many wondered what they would do in his position.
Though the footage shows a calm and cool Chris, he has his moments, Medina said.
"He gets depressed, he gets down," she said. "This is not a rosy situation.
"This is part of the healing process of a Traumatic Brain Injury. ...This guy has nothing but patience—where does he get it from?"
As the Idol audience fell for Chris, many wondered how a young man could demonstrate such strength of character. Although ecstatic at the rapidly growing Facebook fanpage for Chris (he's up to 147,000 fans), when the attention turned to Medina, she balked.
"Everyone asked me, 'How did you raise such a son?'" Medina said. "I didn't do anything special. I was just a single mom ... who dedicated her life to raising her kids—just like any other mother would."
Fans initially responded to the love story, but as time passes, many begin to wonder about Chris on a personal level—Chris as a child, how he matured. Medina decided to create a page where she could relay anecdotes about his childhood, with photos and personal reflection—a page All About Chris Medina. It was there that she gushed with pride on the one-year anniversary of his appearance on Idol.
Thank You all for putting up with all my posts about my son...And Thank You all for understanding that I am truly, truly just a proud mother....
"I felt pride beyond what you can possibly experience," Medina said, of her son's Idol experience. "As a mother, I'm very proud of who he is as a person."
She admits to struggling with watching him cope with aspects of Juliana's recovery.
"I thought, the night of the accident, that he wouldn't be able to handle it, but he proved me wrong," Medina said.
She fields questions from fans who wonder about his personal life outside of music. Some fans
"Christopher is a very realistic person," Medina said. "He doesn't see tomorrow, he sees today. One day at a time. He doesn't know what tomorrow brings.
"He doesn't want to expect too much, so he's not discouraged."
Medina prays for Juliana's recovery, "for my own selfish reasons.
"I want her to recover, for my son."
Most of the songs on his debut album are about Juliana, according to Chris. Medina worries that fans' feelings about his love story might prevent him from establishing longevity in the music industry, separately from the story.
"I would rather hear, two years down the road, that he's able to bring his music to the U.S., and the Idol story is just a back story," she said.
"Though both things make me proud, I'd rather he be known for his music."
As uncertain as Chris is about his future with Juliana, Medina is also cloudy on the outcome.
Like any mother, Medina said, she is troubled by her son in pain.
"Everyone on this planet looks for love, affection and intimacy," she said. "It hurts me to see him in the position he's in. I'm very proud of him, but it's hard for me to watch."
Her Favorite Song from Album 'What Are Words'
Summer Rain. "I listen to it in the car, and listen to the words. He's singing about how he was able to hold her, just the summer before her accident. I thought 'This is heartbreaking, how they were right before the accident.
"The only thing he has now are the memories."

In the third and final week of the "All-Star Circuit", the Texas Vs. Nation game has built a fantastic reputation of adding quality players, especially unique small schoolers, to the roster. This year, potential defensive small schoolers like Rufus Johnson, Craig WIlkins, and Vernon Kearney have a chance to make a major impact on their draft stock with a big week.
See those small schoolers, plus more well known prospects with a lot to prove like Ray Ray Armstrong, Jonathan Stewart, and Phillip Steward.
Notes by Eric Galko and Alex Brown of Optimum Scouting
Defensive Linemem
1. John Youboty, DE, Temple
One of the more talented non-BCS defensive lineman, Youboty has flashed on film as a potential NFL draft pick since his sophomore year. However, for the past two seasons, Youboty has been extremely inconsistent as both a pass rusher and his read-react in the run game. With fantastic NFL upside thanks to his bend, quickness off the snap, and transitions laterally, Youboty could work his way into a draftable grade with a big week here.
2. Rufus Johnson, DE, Tarleton State
Probably the most physically impressive specimen at the Lone Star Conference festival, Rufus Johnson really looks the part of an NFL caliber, 4-3 defensive end. Along with possessing plus size, length, and muscle definition throughout, Johnson also sports a quick, explosive first step, a non-stop motor, and excellent closing speed to finish plays in the backfield. While his leg drive and balance serve well for a power-speed combination at the Division II level, Johnson still remains very raw from a technique standpoint. He lacks a go-to move, doesn't always read and react instinctively to the play, and can be influenced up the field or down the line of scrimmage by the blocker. A size-speed prospect with plus physical tools to develop, Johnson is a must-sign, priority free agent that all NFL teams should take a closer look at.
3. Marquis Jackson, DE, Portland State
The one time highly viewed high school prospect, Jackson went from likely BCS-level prospect to Texas Southern, and eventually ending up at Portland State this year. Despite all of the off-the-field and transfer concerns, the 6'3, 250+ end talent has produced when on the field in college, and this week will go a long way in determining if his transfer/character issues are worth the risk.
4. Meshak Williams, DE/OLB, Kansas State
Clearly lacking in plus height or length, Meshak Williams certainly meets the "tweener" criteria but may have a place in the NFL as a rotational end or 3-4 outside linebacker. Flashing pass rush variety and the ability to incorporate multiple hand techniques in rushing the passer, Williams should stand out as one of the more polished pass rushers, despite all his limitations. It'll be crucial for Williams to also be able to hold the point of attack and set the edge in team drills, as those are two of my primary concerns with his next level projection. I'm not sure where Williams fits in the NFL game, but I have a feeling that he'll stick in the league, whether drafted or undrafted.
5. David King, DE, Oklahoma
Not much of a pass rusher, David King makes his money as a stack and shed, 5-technique type of defensive end. Oklahoma incorporated more four-man fronts in 2012 than in years past, but nevertheless, King used his heavy hands to direct the point of attack and work to the football. He'll never be an exceptional player at the next level, but I firmly believe King will be a valued rotational lineman early and possibly a starter later in his career. King's draft value sits in the 5th round range and could go up or down depending on workout numbers.
1. Jonathan Stewart, Texas A&M
One of my "sleeper" prospects entering the year, Stewart more than looks the part, with an excellent size-speed combination at the Mike linebacker position. Stewart runs very well for his size, flashes quick diagnosing skills and normally takes correct read steps to flow, but too often in 2012 has shied away from attacking downhill and meeting ball carriers in the hole. Much more active and instinctive in the Aggies 2011 3-4 defensive scheme, Stewart hasn't been the same in 2012 playing behind a four-man front. While he doesn't excel in defeating one-on-one blocks with uncovered guards, Stewart appears more comfortable reading the offense with only three defensive linemen in front of him. I'd expect Stewart to test well and be selected in the 4th round, but 2012 has definitely been a down year for the senior prospect.
2. Craig Wilkins, Old Dominion
After bulking up a bit more this year to be built like a more true linebacker, the smooth athlete Wilkins has developed into an adequate coverage linebacker with range to move outside the tackle box and playing wide enough to finish tackles in traffic. The leader on his defense at ODU, he still needs a big week here to add to his (already draftable for us) grade.
3. Phillip Steward, Houston
Putting up fantastic tackle numbers in college and possessing solid inside/weakside linebacker size, Steward will be head to the Texas vs. Nation game after a brief (yet solid) late invite to the Senior Bowl. Well-built, physical yet quick laterally, Steward could prove to be one of the best linebackers this week.
4. Danny Mason, Texas A&M Commerce
I really like Mason's physical makeup, as he's a long cut, tall and athletic 6'3, 235; Mason appears capable of adding 5-10 pounds with no problem whatsoever, being lean through his arms and legs. Possessing sideline-to-sideline range with good chase speed and instinctive feel for the game, Mason's skill set is suited for the Will backer position in a 4-3 defense. Playing a 3-4 outside linebacker position, Mason appeared out of position when asked to set the edge versus direct run flow. He needs space to operate, and even excels in zone coverage, reading and reacting to multiple routes in his hook-to-curl zone. Overall a solid outing for an athletic backer could earn a late round pick and roster spot.
5. Nick Clancy, Boston College
Attempting to follow the Boston College pipeline of lienbackers to the NFL, Clancy has been very productive over his career, but isn't the talent of Luke Kuechly or Mark Herzlich before him. Still, he finishes tackles in the box, and if he can show separation ability from blocks this week, he could earn himself a solid PFA grade this week.
Defensive Backs
1. Vernon Kearney, S, Lane
As you'll see with most of this list, Kearney adds another small schooler to the roster. Kearney has great length, explosion upfield, and the ability to adjust vertically quickly with great short-area hip fluidity. While some teams may consider him at cornerback, he may be best fit in the Cover 2 safety role. Regardless, he has the athleticism, length, and coverage ability to be a later round draft pick, maybe higher with a good week here.
2. Ray Ray Armstrong, S, Miami (FL)
After (unfairly) being forced out of Miami, the NCAA, and even the NAIA this year due to a minor infraction at Miami, Armstrong has been out of football all year long. Coming into the year, many (including myself) thought he had a chance at the 2nd round, maybe even higher if he impressed. But after moving to the NAIA Faulkner, staying in shape and active with their football team, Armstrong may have a coming-out party and get back on NFL radars.
3. Rontez Miles, S, California PA
A Division II stud safety since his junior year, Miles even considered declaring as a junior before returning for final season and continuing to impress. The aggressive and rangy Miles, he closes on the ball with some of the best safeties this year, and also flashes the ability to transition in shorter and mid-range zone coverages. Unsure if he's a true free safety for the next level thanks to his lack of great deep coverage range and this ability to thrive upfield as a safety, he should use this week to prove his D2 success can translate to top competition.
4. Daxton Swanson, CB, Sam Houston State
Quick to read and react to route developments, Daxton Swanson showcases plus anticipation and driving footwork to click, close and break up passes underneath. Sinking his hips into a low pedal, holding a wide enough base and gaining ideal depth with each step, Swanson is able to quickly break on the throw or flip his hips to turn and run. Not appearing to have elite speed and having a penchant for looking back in at the quarterback, Swanson does have his fair share of struggles versus double-move patterns. Swanson should have a good week of one-on-one's and more than hold his own in press drills.
5. Dustin Harris, CB, Texas A&M
Specializing as a returner and steadily improving as a cover-three corner, Dustin Harris possesses fluid hips and good turn and run ability. Fast and coordinated to look back inside for the football while maintaining coverage, Harris shows more than enough balance and long speed to protect the deep third. What Harris needs to show this week, is sharper v-cuts and driving angles to the throw in the short-to-intermediate game, as well as lower pad height in his pedal.

As he returned with a plate full of salad, I asked Will about Livelyhood. "It's mainly about how work is changing these days," he explained. "I travel around and talk to people about how they make their living. About six years ago someone asked me what I'd like to be doing in five years, and I said, 'Well, you know, I'd kind of like to be a cross between Hunter Thompson and Charles Kuralt.' And that's kind of what this is."
"But you don't get to carry guns, or bags full of drugs," Debbie lamented.
"Well, I have to go through a lot of airports," explained Will.

Region: West Portal
"Hunter wouldn't care," she teased.
"Oh," I said, "I thought you were talking about Kuralt."
Just then, three plates of meat arrived (two bunned) and I dug into one serious bacon cheeseburger. Will and Debbie talked about some of the choices they've made, like staying in the Bay Area in favor of a quality of life as opposed to running off to L.A. like almost every other comic they've known. "It's the same thing in L.A.," Will explained. "They always seem miserable. Because they have to go on the road to survive. Which is fine, because you learn a lot on the road. Of course sometimes you can learn the wrong things too. Say you work a cheap-ass room, where all they need is dick jokes. Well, if you do dick jokes, you're gonna make 'em laugh -- but you're not learning anything."
"No," interjected Debbie. "You're doing your job, and surviving, and hopefully you're not getting stabbed on the way out."
"I did a week in Tennessee. A month ago," recalled Will. "And they're not dumb. They're not any dumber than anywhere else. But their focus is family and church. They don't care about The New York Times. They don't think it affects them. And they may be right, I don't know. But I'm doing political stuff. And they just hate it. So the last night of the gig I thought I would insult them. I went onstage and I said, 'Nashville, Tennessee. You guys love Jesus, and you love Nascar. And if Jesus drove Nascar and was sponsored by Hooters you'd never leave the fuckin' house.' Huge roar. They loved me. They didn't care, they knew it was true, they knew I was making fun of them. They caught it on both levels of the thing. But I finally reached them, you know?"
Still, being a national comedian based in San Francisco, it seems, brings its own set of challenges. "There was a time when there were over 12 comedy clubs in the Bay Area," said Will. "And you could actually stay home, most of the year at least, and work all the clubs and just be able to drive home at night."
"And look at the history of comedy in this town," added Debbie, "with the hungry i and the Purple Onion and Lenny Bruce and Woody Allen. And people now are like, 'Yeah? So? And?'"
"We used to have a club called the Holy City Zoo," remembered Will.
"It was on Clement Street which is now, you know, like Hong Kong West," said Debbie. "And we wanted to save it because that's where Robin Williams started, Ellen DeGeneres, Paula Poundstone, Bobcat. Everybody who was anybody. But it was like throwing money into a big hole in the ground."
Still, with the approach of the new millennium comes a slight ray of hope for the local comedy prognosis. With Will and Debbie's support, the San Francisco tradition is returning to North Beach with a weekly night of comedy at the Lost and Found Saloon. And if you remembered to bring your pens to the polls this week, we just might have a stand-up comedian sitting behind the mayor's desk next term.
Oh, sorry. I mean a real one.

IBM is ready to ship the fastest microprocessor
IBM announced that new zEnterprise systems, powered by the world's fastest microprocessor, will start shipping September 10. The systems are offered in five configurations, M15, M32, M49, M66, and M80, that differ by the number of available processor cores and supported memory size. In the maximum configuration, the top model M80 can accommodate 96 processor cores, or 24 z196 CPUs, and support up to 3 TB of memory. Not all processor cores are used for customer applications. For instance, in the M80 system with 96 processor cores, only 80 of them can be configured by customer, while 2 cores are reserved as spares and 14 cores are used as system assist processors.
Internally the z196 CPU core is a superscalar processor with out-of-order instruction execution, that can execute up to 5 instructions per cycle. The z196 CPU packs four cores, integrates memory controller, GX I/O bus, and two coprocessors on a chip. Each co-processor is shared by two cores, and includes special instructions to handle data encryption and compression. Each z196 core runs at 5.2 GHz, and has its own dedicated L1 and L2 caches. Total size of the L1 cache is 192 KB per core , and it allocates 64 KB for instructions and 128 KB for data caching. The size of dedicated L2 cache is 1.5 MB per core. The microprocessor integrates two 12 MB L3 caches, or 24 MB in total. The L3 cache is shared by all 4 cores. The CPU is manufactured using 0.045 micron CMOS 12s technology, that makes the most of silicon-on insulator (SOI) and 13-layer copper interconnect technologies. Each processor has 1.4 billion transistors.
The z196 microprocessor is packaged differently from consumer x86 processors. IBM uses Multi-Chip Module (MCM) technique to pack 6 processors and two Storage Control (SC) chips on a single module. Some processors in the module may have the forth core disabled, therefore the total number of cores per MCM varies from 20 to 24. Each SC chip contains huge 96 MB level 4 cache, thus the MCM module has 192 MB L4 cache shared by all cores. The size of MCM module is 3.78" x 3.78", or 96mm x 96mm. The MCM has 7356 LGA-type connectors, and is housed in a so-called "book". Besides the MCM, the book includes from 60 GB to 960 GB of memory, DCA power supplies and I/O connectors. One zEnterprise system can have from 1 to 4 of such books. To cool down the book, zEnterprise system uses air cooling, but IBM also offers water cooling as an option.

AMR, the parent company of American Airlines, and AMR Eagle Holding Corporation announced Tuesday that it filed voluntary petitions for Chapter 11 reorganization in U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York.
In a press release, the company said the move is to achieve a cost and debt structure that is industry competitive and thereby assure its long-term viability and ability to continue delivering a world-class travel experience for its customers.
The airline flies out of three gates at . It has a total of seven daily arrivals and seven daily departures from Chicago and Dallas, according to Bradley's website.
AMR's Board of Directors determined that a Chapter 11 reorganization is in the best interest of the Company and its stakeholders, the release said. Just as with the Company's major airline competitors in recent years, the Chapter 11 process enables American Airlines and American Eagle to continue conducting normal business operations while they restructure their debt, costs and other obligations.
American Airlines and American Eagle are operating normal flight schedules today, and their reservations, customer service, AAdvantage® program, Admirals Clubs and all other operations are conducting business as usual.
"This was a difficult decision, but it is the necessary and right path for us to take – and take now – to become a more efficient, financially stronger, and competitive airline," Thomas W. Horton, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President of AMR and American Airlines, said in a statement.

Learn about repeating code for a determined number of times using loops. Part 2 of 3.
In this video, we will take a look at using For loops to run a code block a specific number of times. You will see three different demonstrations of using For loops. In part two, we'll examine using loops to iterate through objects returned by a .NET framework method as well as iterating through an array. We'll also look at the For Each statement. We'll also compare the For Loop with the For Each loop and discuss when to one over the other. In part three, we'll look at ways to jump around to different sections of code. The key concepts are break, goto, and continue, and you'll see examples of each of these in action.

Attorney Cal Potter Seeks to Help Las Vegas Cold Case Unit Get the Word Out
PR Log
- Dec 09, 2012 - Las Vegas, Nevada --
Vegas Cold Cases-Closed but not Forgotten
The Las Vegas Police Department classifies cold cases as those involving a disappearance, murder (
), or suspicious death that have not been actively investigated for more than one year. This could be due to a lack of evidence or because the case has officially been closed. Although they are cold cases, they are not forgotten by the Las Vegas Police Department. In all, the department has more than 1,000 cold cases on the books, and information from the public is still encouraged on any of them.
Cold cases can fall into one of three different categories. They could unresolved, in which case there are no known suspects. They could also be unresolved cases that have strong suspects but not the hard evidence needed to make an arrest. Cases could also be cold because the identity of the victim is unknown.
The oldest cold case on the books here in Vegas dates back to 1943. There are also dozens that have taken place during this millennia. All of them share one common attribute-a victim that never obtained justice.
The Las Vegas Police Department encourages citizens to browse through the cold case files listed on their website, in an effort to obtain the missing links whenever possible. Those who have information that could lead to an arrest are encouraged to contact the department at 702-828-COLD (2653).
Vegas Cold Case Unit Devoted to Missing Persons
In addition to unsolved murders, Las Vegas police also have a cold case unit devoted solely to finding missing persons from the area. Unlike the cold case crimes unit, cases here only have to be at least 60 days old before they reach the desk of detective Dan Holley, who was appointed in 2010 to take charge of this unit.
In all, there are more than 600 cases being investigated by the department. Detective Holley is the only investigator in this department, with a goal to maintain the most current information possible on individuals on the Las Vegas missing persons' list.
The 600+ cases being reviewed by Detective Holley only include missing adults. According to Holley, children's cases never become "cold". They are continuously being worked on, even after a child has reached adulthood.
The Las Vegas Police Department believes they could just be the only department in the country to have both a criminal cold case unit and a missing person cold case unit. Meanwhile, Detective Holley's work seems endless, as he constantly updates information into the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System or NamUs.
It seems Vegas is a hotspot for missing persons, as many come here on vacation and fail to return home to loved ones. In all, the Las Vegas Police Department reports there are around 1,000 cases of missing people in the local area each and every month.
Cal Potter can be reached at his office if you need help with your criminal defense case here in Las Vegas.

Don't Starve is currently in closed Early Access beta.
The focus is to have the player collect as many resources as possible to create weapons and items. The player is given a allotted amount of time before nightfall to build a campfire so the player may be safe from the darkness. The player will also require nourishment in order to survive.
"I will conquer it all with the power of my MIND!"
Wilson is the only playable character that has the ability to grow a beard. Which also makes him the only player to create the Meat Effigy.
"Things are so much prettier when they burn!"
Willow is the second playable character. Her ability is she is able to start a fire in complete darkness. Which can either be beneficial or dangerous. She is also immune to fire damage and take less damage from eating monster meat.
The axe is made from one twig and one flint. The axe is use to chop down trees to obtain wood. The Luxury axe is lasts 4x longer.
The pickaxe is made from 2 twigs and 2 flints. The pickaxe is used for mining stones. Stones obtain rocks, flint, and gold. The Opulent Pickaxe lasts 4x longer.
The shovel is made with 2 twigs and 2 flints. The Shovel is also used to digging up plants, such as Berry bushes, and logs from the ground. The Regal Shovel lasts 4x longer.
The pitchfork is made with 2 twigs and 2 flints. The pitchfork is used to "pick up" the terrain. After picking up the terrain, the player can place it anywhere they want.
The hammer is made with 3 twigs, 3 rocks, and 2 strings. The Hammer is used to break down structures to receive some of resources it cost to make the structure, back.
The razor is made with 2 twigs and 2 flints. The Razor is used by Wilson to shave his beard.
The campfire is made with 3 cut grass and 2 logs. The Campfire is used to cook food and provide light during the night. Once the fire goes out, the campfire disappears. The Campfire can set fire to nearby trees, tall grass, etc., if not placed carefully.

The torch is made with 2 cut grass and one twig. The torch is held in hand and slowly loses its percentage. Once it hits %0, the fire goes out. The torch is used to create a small light that allows you travel during the night.
The mine hat is created with a straw hat, 1 fireflies, and 1 gold nugget. A miner hat provide a light similar to the torch. But, unlike the torch, the miner hat can be worn, so the hands are free to use tools. Once the miner hat is depleted, it becomes a regular straw hat again.
The pumpkin lantern is crafted using 1 pumpkin and 1 fireflies. The lantern can be placed to provide light to an area. The lantern will work for a period of time before falling apart. The lantern can also be smashed to release the fireflies inside.
Using the Crock pot, one can craft more powerful foods. Some recipes include:
Crafting traps is very useful to find excellent sources of food in the early game. The basic trap, which captures bunnies can be baited to increase success. Carrots and Berries are excellent sources of bait in the early game. Alternatively, one can place the trap by the rabbit hole, and once the rabbit has gone inside, one can dig the rabbit out of the hole into the trap. However, this technique is not recommended and should only be used if no bait is readily available.

Subpart AIntroduction to this Part
§102-192.5What does this part cover?
This part prescribes policy and requirements for the effective, economical, and secure management of incoming, internal, and outgoing mail in Federal agencies.
§102-192.10What authority governs this part?
This part is governed by Section 2 of Public Law 94-575, the Federal Records Management Amendments of 1976 (44 U.S.C. 2901-2904), as amended, that requires the Administrator of General Services to provide guidance and assistance to Federal agencies on records management and defines the processing of mail by Federal agencies as a records management activity.
§102-192.15How are I, you, me, we, and us used in this part?
In this part, I, me, and you (in its singular sense) refer to agency mail managers and/or facility mail managers. The context makes it clear which usage is intended in each case. We, us, and you (in its plural sense) refer to your Federal agency.
§102-192.20How are must and should used in this part?
In this part
(a) Must identifies steps that Federal agencies are required to take; and
(b) Should identifies steps that the General Services Administration (GSA) recommends.
Note to 102-192.20: In their internal policy statements, agencies may require steps that GSA recommends. However, agencies may not change required steps into non-mandatory recommendations.
§102-192.25Does this part apply to me?
Yes, this part applies to you if you work in mail management in a Federal agency, as defined in 102-192.35.
§102-192.30What types of mail does this part apply to?
(a) This part applies to all materials that might pass through a Federal mail processing center, including
(2) Materials carried by agency personnel, contractors, the United States Postal Service (USPS), and all other carriers of such items.
(b) This part does not apply to shipments of parts or supplies from a materiel distribution center (a material distribution center is a warehouse that maintains and distributes an inventory of parts and supplies).
§102-192.35What definitions apply to this part?
The following definitions apply to this part:
Accountable mail means any mail for which the service provider and the mail center must maintain a record that shows where the mail piece is at any given time and when and where it was delivered; examples include USPS registered mail and all expedited mail (see definition below).
Agency mail manager means the person who manages the overall mail communications program of a Federal agency.
Class of mail means one of the five categories of domestic mail as defined by the United States Postal Service (USPS) in the Domestic Mail Manual, (C100 through C600.1.z). These are:
(1) Express mail.
(2) First class (includes priority mail).
(3) Periodicals.
(4) Standard mail (e.g., bulk marketing mail).
(5) Package services.
Commingling means combining outgoing mail from one facility or agency with outgoing mail from at least one other source.
Commercial payment processes means mechanisms for paying for USPS postage that are essentially the same as those used by private sector mailers. This means paying for postage before the postage is used (which the U.S. Treasury has determined is appropriate for USPS postage). For meter or permit mail, this also means sending money to the USPS via Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) transactions to commercial banks designated by the USPS as their financial agents. For stamps and other USPS services, this means paying the USPS directly via cash, charge card, debit card, and money order, depending on the specific service being purchased.
Expedited mail means mail designated for delivery more quickly than the USPSs normal delivery times (which vary by class of mail). Examples of expedited mail include USPS Express Mail and overnight and two-day delivery by other service providers.
Facility mail manager means the person responsible for mail in a specific Federal facility. There may be many facility mail managers within a Federal agency.
Federal agency (or agency), as defined in 44 U.S.C. 2901(14), means
(2) Any wholly owned Government corporation as defined in 31 U.S.C. 9101;
(3) Any independent establishment in the executive branch as defined in 5 U.S.C. 104; and
(4) Any establishment in the legislative branch, except the Senate, the House of Representatives, the Architect of the Capitol, and all activities under the direction of the Architect of the Capitol.
Federal facility (or facility) means any office building, installation, base, etc., where Federal agency employees work; this includes any facility where the Federal government pays postage expenses even though few or no Federal employees are involved in processing the mail.
Incoming mail means any mail that comes into a facility delivered by any service provider, such as the USPS, United Parcel Service (UPS), FedEx, or DHL.
Internal mail means mail generated within a Federal facility that is delivered within that facility or to a nearby facility of the same agency, so long as it is delivered by agency personnel or a dedicated agency contractor.
Large agency means a Federal agency whose total payments to all mail service providers exceed $1 million per fiscal year.
Mail means the types of mail described in 102-192.30.
Mail center means an organization and/or place, within or associated with a Federal facility, where incoming and/or outgoing Federal mail is processed.
Mail costs means direct or allocated expenses for postage and all other mail costs (e.g., payments to service providers, mail center personnel costs, mail center overhead, etc.).
Mail piece design means laying out and printing items to be mailed so that they can be processed efficiently and effectively by automated mail-processing equipment.
Official Mail Accounting System (OMAS) means the U.S. Postal Services government-specific system used to track postage used by many Federal agencies.
Outgoing mail means mail generated within a Federal facility that is going outside that facility and is delivered by a service provider.
Personal mail means incoming or outgoing mail that is not related to official business of the Federal government.
Postage means money due or paid to any service provider for the delivery of mail.
Presort means a mail preparation process used to receive a discounted mailing rate by sorting mail according to USPS standards.
Program level means a subsidiary part of a Federal agency that generates a significant quantity of outgoing mail (significant in this context is relative to the overall size of the agencys mail budget; half of a small annual mail budget may not be significant in a small agency, whereas one-tenth or less might be significant in a large agency). The term program level may apply to an agency organizational entity, program, or project.
Program level mail manager is the person at the program level responsible for mail policy implementation, operations, and financial management; the program level counterpart of the agency mail manager.
Service provider means any agency or company that delivers mail. Some examples of service providers are USPS, UPS, FedEx, DHL, courier services, the Military Postal Service Agency, the Department of States Diplomatic Pouch and Mail Division, and other Federal agencies providing mail services.
Special services means those mail services that require extra payment over basic postage; e.g., certified mail, business reply mail, registered mail, merchandise return service, certificates of mailing, return receipts, and delivery confirmation.
Unauthorized use of agency postage means the use of penalty or commercial mail stamps, meter impressions, or other postage indicia for personal or unofficial use.
Worksharing means ways of processing outgoing mail that qualify for reduced postage rates; examples include presorting, bar coding, consolidating, and commingling.
§102-192.40Where can we obtain more information about the classes of mail?
You can learn more about mail classes in the Domestic Mail Manual (DMM). The DMM is available online at http://pe.usps.gov/default.asp or you can order a copy from the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office, P.O. Box 371954, Pittsburgh, PA 15250-7954.
§102-192.45How can we request a deviation from these requirements, and who can approve it?
See §§102-2.60 through 102-2.110 of this chapter to request a deviation from the requirements of this part. The authority rests with the Administrator of General Services and those to whom the Administrator has delegated such authority.
Subpart BFinancial Requirements for All Agencies
§102-192.50What payment processes are we required to use?
All payments to the United States Postal Service or authorized service providers must be made using commercial payment processes.
(a) Agencies may no longer use the Intergovernmental Payment and Collection Payment (IPAC) process associated with the Official Mail Accounting System (OMAS), except where GSA has approved a temporary deviation for a specific agency, office, or component.
(b) Any deviation related to the requirements of this section that has not reached its expiration date on the effective date of this rule will continue in effect until it expires.
(c) Any new deviation request, or any request to extend an existing deviation, must include a plan for the agency to implement an accountable system for postage, as discussed in 102-192.65.
(d) GSA provides detailed guidance on commercial payment processes and accountability on its web site, www.gsa.gov/mailpolicy.
§102-192.55Why must we use these commercial payment processes?
Federal agencies are required to use commercial payment processes because commercial payment requires obligation of the money before the postage is used (by contrast, use of the OMAS system allows the postage use and the obligation of funds to occur almost entirely independently of each other). Requiring the program level manager who generates the mail to obligate the money before the postage is used makes it much more likely that the same program level manager will be accountable for the money, thereby encouraging good judgment in using postage.
§102-192.60How do we implement these commercial payment processes?
Guidance on implementing a compliant payment process is in the GSA Policy Advisory, Guidelines for Federal Agencies On Converting to Commercial Payment Systems for Postage, which can be found at www.gsa.gov/mailpolicy.
§102-192.65What features must our finance systems have to keep track of mail costs?
All agencies must have an accountable system for making postage payments; that is, a system that allocates postage expenses at the program level within the agency and then makes program level managers accountable for obligating and tracking those expenses. The agency will have to determine the appropriate program level for this requirement, because the level at which it is cost-beneficial differs widely. The agencys finance system(s) should track all mail costs separately to the program level or below, and should
(a) Show allocations and expenses for postage and all other mail costs (e.g., payments to service providers, mail center personnel costs, mail center overhead, etc.) separate from all other administrative expenses;
(b) Allow mail centers to establish systems to charge their customers for mail costs; and
(c) Identify and charge mail costs that are part of printing contracts to the program level.
Note to 102-192.65: To better accomplish these goals listed in this section, you should maintain separate accounts with the USPS and all other service providers for mail, as defined by this Part. Shipment of non-mail items should be arranged and paid for through other accounts. This will make it possible for your annual mail management report to reflect only amounts paid for mail, as defined in 102-192.35.
Subpart CSecurity Requirements for All Agencies
§102-192.70What security policies and plans must we have?
(a) You must have a written mail security policy that applies throughout the agency.
(b) You also must have a written mail security plan for each facility that processes mail, regardless of the facilitys mail volume.
(c) If a contract that is in place on August 25, 2008 does not fully meet the requirements of this section, the contract must be modified to meet the requirement for a security plan within one year of August 25, 2008, unless the contract will expire prior to that date.
(d) The scope and level of detail of each facility mail security plan should be commensurate with the size and responsibilities of each facility. For small facilities, you may provide a general, standardized plan that is used in many similar locations. For larger locations, you must develop a plan that is specifically tailored to the threats and risks at your location. Agencies are free to determine for themselves which facilities are smaller and which are larger for the purposes of this section, so long as the basic requirement for a security plan is met at every facility.
(e) All mail facility managers should report annually the status of their facility mail security plans to agency headquarters. At a minimum, this report should assure that the facility mail security plan complies with the requirements of this part, including annual review by a subject matter expert and regular rehearsal of responses to various emergency situations by facility personnel.
(f) An outside security professional who has expertise in mail center security should review the agencys mail security plan annually. Review of facility mail security plans can be accomplished by outside subject matter experts such as agency security personnel. If these experts are not available within your agency, seek assistance from the Postal Inspection Service or other Federal authorities.
§102-192.75Why must we have written security policies and plans?
All Federal mail programs must identify, prioritize, and coordinate the protection of all mail processing facilities in order to prevent, deter, and mitigate the effects of deliberate efforts to destroy, incapacitate, or exploit the mail center or the national mail infrastructure. Homeland Security Presidential Directive HSPD-7 requires all agencies to protect key resources from terrorist attacks, and this is spelled out in the Postal and Shipping Sector Plan, which is part of the National Infrastructure Protection Plan (NIPP) prescribed by HSPD-7. All Federal mail centers are key resources under that plan. Details on the Postal and Shipping Sector Plan are not publicly available. Federal employees needing access to the plan should contact the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) at email@example.com.
§102-192.80How do we develop written security policies and plans?
Agency mail managers must coordinate with their agency security service and/or the Federal Protective Service to develop agency mail security policies and plans. The Federal Protective Service has, working with the Interagency Security Committee which it chairs, developed standards for building construction and management, including standards for mail centers. At a minimum, the agency mail security plan must address the following topics
(a) Risk assessment;
(b) Plan to protect staff and all other occupants of agency facilities from hazards that might be delivered in the mail;
(c) Operating procedures;
(d) Plan to provide a visible mail screening operation;
(e) Training mail center personnel;
(f) Testing and rehearsing responses to various emergency situations by agency personnel;
(g) Managing threats;
(h) Communications plan;
(i) Occupant Emergency Plan (OEP);
(j) Continuity of Operations Plan (COOP); and
(k) Annual reviews.
Note to 102-192.80: The agency mail manager and facility manager(s) need not prepare all of these plans themselves. They should participate actively in the development and implementation of each of these elements, but other parts of the agency or outside security professionals should take the lead in their respective areas of expertise.
Subpart DReporting Requirements
§102-192.85Who must report to GSA annually?
Large agencies (all agencies that spend in excess of $1 million each fiscal year in total payments to mail service providers) must provide a Mail Management Report to GSA by January 15th of each year. If your agency is a cabinet-level or independent agency, the agency mail manager must compile all offices (or components) and submit one report for the department or agency as a whole (e.g., the Department of Defense or the Department of Health and Human Services).
§102-192.90What must we include in our annual mail management report to GSA?
Your annual report must
(a) Identify your agency mail manager; in addition you must promptly report the name of the agency mail manager whenever there is a change of the person serving in this role.
(b) State the total amounts paid to each service provider during the previous fiscal year:
(1) These amounts should include only amounts paid for mail; not amounts paid to any service provider to ship parts and supplies from a materiel distribution center (see the definition of mail in 102-192.30).
(2) These amounts should include all postage costs associated with mailing printed materials, regardless of whether the printing is accomplished by the agency or a contractor, and regardless of how the postage expense is paid (e.g., GSAs Federal Acquisition Service (FAS) produces a publication called Marketips,' which provides information about supplies and services available through GSA sources. GSA should include the postage that it uses to mail Marketips in the amounts that it reports, even though a printing company actually prints and mails the publication);
(c) Report actual results for the performance measures in use at the agency and facility levels;
(d) Describe your agencys accomplishments and plans to improve the economy and efficiency of mail operations in the current and future years;
(e) Identify how many Federal employees and contractors work in your agencys mail operations nationwide, and the number that have achieved industry certifications (e.g., Certified Mail and Distributions Systems Manager, Executive Mail Center Manager, Mailpiece Quality Control Specialist, Certified Mail Manager);
(f) Describe your agencys approach to ensuring that program level officials are accountable for postage; and
(g) Verify that a competent expert has reviewed your agency security policies and the mail security plan for each facility within the past year, or explain what steps your agency has taken in this regard.
Note to 102-192.90: GSA is launching a long-term initiative to improve the usefulness of data collected through the annual mail management reports. The reports for each succeeding fiscal year will require an incrementally broader set of data, working towards measures that will give agency management a much clearer picture of the efficiency and effectiveness of their mail programs. The additional data will eventually require agencies to track cost per piece for all outgoing Federal mail.
§102-192.95Why does GSA require annual mail management reports?
GSA requires annual agency mail management reports to
(a) Ensure that Federal agencies have the policies, procedures, and data to manage their mail operations efficiently and effectively;
(b) Ensure that appropriate security measures are in place; and
(c) Allow GSA to fulfill its responsibilities under the Federal Records Act, especially with regards to sharing best practices, training, standards, and guidelines.
§102-192.100How do we submit our annual mail management report to GSA?
If your agency is a large agency, as defined in 102-192.35, you must submit annual reports using the GSA web-based Electronic Performance Support Tool (EPST). Agency mail managers and other authorized users will receive training from GSA on how to use the EPST.
§102-192.105When must we submit our annual mail management report to GSA?
Beginning with the report covering Fiscal Year 2009, your annual report will be due on January 15th of each year for the previous fiscal year.
Subpart EPerformance Measurement Requirements
§102-192.110At what level(s) in our agency must we have performance measures?
You must have performance measures for mail operations at the agency level and in all facilities and for all program levels that spend more than $1 million per year on postage. GSA provides a list of suggested performance measures, as part of the format for the annual report. You may also find these measures on GSAs web site, at www.gsa.gov/mailpolicy.
§102-192.115Why must we use performance measures?
Performance measures gauge the success of your mail management plans and processes by comparing performance over time and among organizations. Performance measures
(a) Help define goals and objectives;
(b) Enhance resource allocation; and
(c) Provide accountability.
Subpart FAgency Mail Manager Requirements
§102-192.120Must we have an agency mail manager?
Yes, every Federal agency as defined in 102-192.35 must have an agency mail manager. Agencies that are not large agencies as defined in 102-192.35 may not need a full-time person in this position.
Note to 102-192.120: GSA will post the names and official contact information for all large agency mail managers on its web site located at www.gsa.gov/mailpolicy.
§102-192.125What is the appropriate managerial level for an agency mail manager?
The agency mail manager should be at a managerial level that enables him or her to speak for the agency and fulfill the requirements of Subparts B, C, D, E, and F of this part. GSA recommends professional mail certification for agency mail managers.
§102-192.130What are your general responsibilities as an agency mail manager?

Subpart HProgram Level Mail Responsibilities
§102-192.145Which program levels should have a mail manager?
Every program level within a Federal agency that generates a significant quantity of outgoing mail should have its own mail manager. Each agency must decide which programs will have a full-time or part-time mail manager. In making this determination, the agency should consider the total volume of outgoing mail that is put into the mail stream by the program itself or by printers, presort contractors, or others on the programs behalf.
§102-192.150What are your general responsibilities as a program level mail manager?
Your responsibilities at the program level include
(a) Working closely with the agency mail manager and mail center managers who handle significant quantities of mail or print functions for your program, as well as mail technical experts;
(b) Ensuring that your program complies with all applicable mail policies and procedures, including this part;
(c) Coordinating with your program personnel to minimize postage and associated printing expenses through improved mail piece design, electronic transmission of data in lieu of mail, and other appropriate measures;

Note (2) to 102-192.155(l) and 102-192.155(m): Mailing costs associated with filing travel vouchers, and the payment of Government sponsored travel card billings, are considered to be incidental expenses covered by the travelers per diem allowance, as provided for in the Federal Travel Regulation (41 CFR 300-3.1).

Nearly 100 workers at Ventra Belvidere LLC walked off the job Wednesday to protest lack of progress on a labor deal.
The workers are represented by United Auto Workers Local 1268, which represents most workers at the Chrysler Group LLC and several of its suppliers. Ventra Belvidere LLC is owned by Flex-N-Gate of Urbana, a $3 billion supplier to all of the major automakers.
Ventra is the last UAW represented supplier to the Chrysler Group LLC Belvidere plant to not have reached a labor agreement and the two sides have suspended talks. Ironically, UAW Local 1268 still hasn't finalized a local labor deal with Chrysler. Workers there have been working under terms of the old deal since September, 2011. Dozens of Chrysler workers joined Ventra employees in the demonstration.
UAW officials said workers and the union also are upset about working conditions at the Belvidere plant as well as other Flex-N-Gate non-union operations.
Ventra supplies the front and rear fascias for the Dodge Dart, Jeep Compass and Jeep Patriot. A fascia essentially is a plastic bumper. The walkout wasn't expected to slow production at the Chrysler plant.

Wesley Johnson was a First Team All-American this year for the Syracuse Orangemen after transferring from Iowa State follwing his sophomore year. Johnson is in a crowded group with Aminu, Ed Davis, and Patrick Patterson for spots in the top ten.
Strengths: Johnson is one of the most complete players in this draft. He has the frame of an NBA small forward. He can take smaller players in the post and step outside and punish defenders who give him too much space. This year he shot better than 40 percent from three, giving him the edge over Aminu in that category. He played in the Big East, largely considered this years toughest basketball conference. His rebounding was also impressive and he was a threat to get 20 and 10 every night.
Weaknesses: He suffered a wrist injury, and despite a phenomenal NCAA Tournament teams will take a look at it. Additionally, he puts the ball on the floor ok, but it could use improvement. His defense is pretty much an unknown considering that Syracuse spent their time in a zone. He is an decent passer, but again this aspect of his game could use improvement.
NBA Comparison: Rudy Gay

When I returned home and tried to log on to facebook, I got a message saying Access Denied. I responded to the message and have heard nothing from FaceBook despite several attempts to find out what is wrong. Does anybody have any idea why they have denied access? Help please.

Re: access denied on facebook
My understanding is that it has to do with FaceBook's certificate authenticity. I have 3 different browsers on this laptop, and when one gets Access Denied, so do the others. Yet on my Gateway laptop, everything is hunky dory! Both use Windows 7 btw. So apparently, there really is no clear answer, and I would address the issue with the FaceBook Developers.
Mon, 01/30/2012 - 10:45pm#10
Re: access denied on facebook
It seems many making the assumption that Facebook is doing the blocking, even to the point of "kmh's" obnoxious reference. But... Isn't it the browser that's flagging the website? I mean, we know Facebook is working, but the browser blocks it for some reason, so shouldn't we be looking at the browser's help pages? I think I can guess why Fbook help pages aren't any help - they may not see a problem like IE does... I could be wrong, but...

I keep having a similar issue. I find if you go to the start button in windows and type RUN in the search box, click on that and type in ipconfig /flushdns it helps. It's not a permanent fix, but it's helped me gain access to Facebook again.

Re: access denied on facebook
There is a way to open facebook in a secure wifi system like this which doesnt allow people to open facebook and/or youtube. So whenever you see something like that, try to put "s" after "http", e.g. https://www.facebook.com/ . i hope that it will be helpful to you.

Re: access denied on facebook
I already have the "s" in my facebook address: "https". I tried taking it off. Nothing works. I first had this problem 2 weeks ago. Eventually, it just let me in. I have had no more problems until today. I was on facebook, things started loading slowly, so I refreshed it, and this is when the problem began. Any help?
