The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) plays a key role in overseeing federal information technology (IT) investments. The Clinger-Cohen Act, among other things, requires OMB to establish processes to analyze, track, and evaluate the risks and results of major capital investments in information systems made by agencies and to report to Congress on the net program performance benefits achieved as a result of these investments. OMB has developed several processes to help carry out its role. For example, OMB began using a Management Watch List several years ago as a means of identifying poorly planned projects based on its evaluation of agencies' funding justifications for major projects, known as exhibit 300s. In addition, in August 2005, OMB established a process for agencies to identify high risk projects and to report on those that are performing poorly. GAO testified last year on the Management Watch List and high risk projects, and on GAO's recommendations to improve these processes. GAO was asked to (1) provide an update on the Management Watch List and high risk projects and (2) identify OMB's efforts to improve the identification and oversight of these projects. In preparing this testimony, GAO summarized its previous reports on initiatives for improving the management of federal IT investments. GAO also analyzed current Management Watch List and high risk project information.
OMB and federal agencies have identified approximately 227 IT projects--totaling at least $10.4 billion in expenditures for fiscal year 2008--as being poorly planned (on the Management Watch List), poorly performing (on the High Risk List with performance shortfalls), or both. OMB has taken steps to improve the identification and oversight of the Management Watch List and High Risk projects by addressing recommendations previously made by GAO, however, additional efforts are needed to more effectively perform these activities. Specifically, GAO previously recommended that OMB take action to improve the accuracy and reliability of exhibit 300s and consistent application of the high risk projects criteria, and perform governmentwide tracking and analysis of Management Watch List and high risk project information. In response to these recommendations, OMB, for example, started publicly releasing aggregate lists of Management Watch List and high risk projects by agency in September 2006 and has been updating them since then on a quarterly basis. However, OMB does not publish the reasons for placing projects on the Management Watch List, nor does it specifically identify why high risk projects are poorly performing. Providing this information would allow OMB and others to better analyze the reasons projects are poorly planned and performing, take corrective actions, and track these projects on a governmentwide basis. Such information would also help to highlight progress made by agencies or projects, identify management issues that transcend individual agencies, and highlight the root causes of governmentwide issues and trends. Until OMB makes further improvements in the identification and oversight of poorly planned and poorly performing IT projects, potentially billions in taxpayer dollars are at risk of being wasted.

Vertically? At around 18 or 20.
Horizontally? That's a toughie.
Adults stop growing at the ends but keep growing in the middle.
So we never really stop growing. We just change direction.
For men between 18 and 20 (roughly) and for women between 16 and 18 (roughly)
people do not stop growing, but they start growing so slowly in age 20
It really depends on the person. I know a girl that stopped growing when she was 19, but I (a guy) stopped growing when I was 13.
Well... That's a good question considering the fact that some females' butt never stops growing. So I'm going to say until death.
It depends i am 14 and i have basically stopped growing i am 4,9 extreemly short for my age and my doc says i 've stopped growing, it basically depends on when you started puberty :)
For women, ages 16 to 20. For men, 20 to 25.
around 1-100 yrs old depending on how many peaches you have consumed
18 to 19 yrs...
WOMEN:Most women stop growing in height once they have finished puberty. At this time they are around 16 to 17 years. It usually stops after two to three years of going through the menstrual cycle. MEN: There is no specific age which men stop growing since some stop growing at the age of nineteen and others can extend up to twenty years. This growth depends on hormones that a person possesses since hormones play a major role in the growth of a person. -FOUND ON INTERNET-
Girls stop growing around the time they get their period. Men stop growing around their mid 20s.
I think it's probably from 18-20 were people stop growing.
For men 18 to19 and for women 16 to 18
The brain reaches its full senses at age 25 or 26, and the body physically stops growing in puberty with a girl 16 and a boy about 18. There are different kind of developments! There's mental, and physical. I've learned through driver's end that we only fully grow our ability to process risk as well as make good decisions and keep a wise, adult-like mentality in our twenties. Our body finishes the process of puberty under twenty. So, to be fully grown, I'd say it would be about our thirties.
Full development varies on the individual's gender, race, and such. but on average in the US the male body at around 18-21 and a female at around 16-18. as for brain development the frontal lobe (judgment) is one of the last parts of the brain to develop and it finishes developing at around 25.... part of the reason insurance companies charge a lot more for people below that age.
The human body grows steadily from birth, and by the late teens the skeletal system has fully formed. Although you're unlikely to grow any taller after the age of 20, scientists have recently discovered that some bones never stop growing as you age
Usually about the age of 22. However, your hands, feet, jaw, nose, ears etc may continue to grow at a much slower rate that in puberty. I grew 2 shoe sizes (from size 9 to 11) when I was 31 years old!
when you feel bad and down. ;0

This guy does great work. I dropped off my jeep to get the flexplate changed out and while he was in there, he noticed that the front of my torque convertor was busted! Ended up getting a new convertor the next day and have everything done that night. The jeep ran and drove great. I would definitely recommend him and will definitely take more work to him in the future. |

Man I knew if I read long enough......
Kodiak450r--Here's my situation. I bought my kid a 98 wrangler tj with the 2.5 4 cylinder engine and an automatic trans. It has about 108,000 miles on it and now the engine sounds like it has a box of marbles in the lower end. I know the engine needs to be majorly gone over ( and maybe needs to be replaced) The block doesnt leak anything but it does burn about a quart+of oil a week. I am tired of hearing that i have a "sissy,underpowered,baby 4 banger" and I do not want to change it to a 765 h.p. mega rock crawling, wall climbing, all things dirt, monster jeep. I simply want a reliable vehicle that my kid can have some fun with and be able to rely on it starting and running properly.
Now the question: Your prices for engine overhaul seem too good to be true. Can you give me an estimate as to what it may cost to rebuild the current engine? Install a new Long Block? I have a reasonable budget to work with.I live in Madison Heights and could drive it over for you to look at and hear it run. And I am not in such a hurry as to need it right away. Take your time if you do the work--i won't need it overnite. Thanks for hearing me out. I look forward to hearing from you.And I would love to be raving about your services in the future. Thanks, winters98tj |

Some homeowners may be forced out. Others may be able to rebuild, better. But one thing's for sure: Things are going to change in Union Beach, New Jersey.
The NFIP paid a Staten Island homeowner $10,000 for flood damage to her first floor. Now they say the space was a basement — and they want their money back.
As Hurricane Katrina taught in New Orleans, the road home after a hurricane is not a simple path.
In a first for the New Jersey recovery effort, FEMA has provided a trailer to a New Jersey family on land they already own.
Sand dunes saved some houses from Sandy's storm surge. But some beachfront homeowners still won't sign off on raising the dunes.
Homes flooded by Sandy are showing up in real estate listings at a steep discount — but it's buyer beware.
New Jersey authorities have sued a fledgling non-profit raising money for Hurricane Sandy victims, charging that the self-styled charity is making questionable claims and suspicious money transfers.
New Jersey Governor Chris Christie was quick to embrace FEMA's new flood plain maps. But not everyone feels the same way.
Communities on Long Island's south shore are facing a new problem: with the protective barrier island damaged, tides flood their streets every day.
Four months after Hurricane Sandy, it's not just the beach communities in New Jersey to Long Island that are still in rough shape. Parts of Manhattan are also far from recovering.
Was the Long Island Power Company at fault for the Breezy Point conflagration sparked during Hurricane Sandy? Some homeowners say yes — and they'll see LIPA in court.
Boaters on the Jersey Shore this summer risk collisions with everything up to and including the kitchen sink.
New York City's Staten Island shore took a beating from Sandy. Now, homeowners there say they're ready to admit defeat.
Big dunes saved some neighborhoods in New Jersey and New York from the worst of Sandy's wrath. Does that mean we should build more dunes?
FEMA's new flood maps for New York are coming out, and the new boundaries extend over more properties.

John Tierney on discovering the virtues of a wandering mind
Here is an excerpt from an article written by John Tierney for The New York Times (June 28, 2010). To read the complete article, please click here.* * *
At long last, the doodling daydreamer is getting some respect.
In the past, daydreaming was often considered a failure of mental discipline, or worse. Freud labeled it infantile and neurotic. Psychology textbooks warned it could lead to psychosis. Neuroscientists complained that the rogue bursts of activity on brain scans kept interfering with their studies of more important mental functions.
But now that researchers have been analyzing those stray thoughts, they've found daydreaming to be remarkably common — and often quite useful. A wandering mind can protect you from immediate perils and keep you on course toward long-term goals. Sometimes daydreaming is counterproductive, but sometimes it fosters creativity and helps you solve problems.
Consider, for instance, these three words: eye, gown, basket. Can you think of another word that relates to all three? If not, don't worry for now. By the time we get back to discussing the scientific significance of this puzzle, the answer might occur to you through the "incubation effect" as your mind wanders from the text of this article — and, yes, your mind is probably going to wander, no matter how brilliant the rest of this column is.
Mind wandering, as psychologists define it, is a subcategory of daydreaming, which is the broad term for all stray thoughts and fantasies, including those moments you deliberately set aside to imagine yourself winning the lottery or accepting the Nobel. But when you're trying to accomplish one thing and lapse into "task-unrelated thoughts," that's mind wandering.
During waking hours, people's minds seem to wander about 30 percent of the time, according to estimates by psychologists who have interrupted people throughout the day to ask what they're thinking. If you're driving down a straight, empty highway, your mind might be wandering three-quarters of the time, according to two of the leading researchers, Jonathan Schooler and Jonathan Smallwood of the University of California, Santa Barbara.
"People assume mind wandering is a bad thing, but if we couldn't do it during a boring task, life would be horrible," Dr. Smallwood says. "Imagine if you couldn't escape mentally from a traffic jam."
You'd be stuck contemplating the mass of idling cars, a mental exercise that is much less pleasant than dreaming about a beach and much less useful than mulling what to do once you get off the road. There's an evolutionary advantage to the brain's system of mind wandering, says Eric Klinger, a psychologist at the University of Minnesota and one of the pioneers of the field.
"While a person is occupied with one task, this system keeps the individual's larger agenda fresher in mind," Dr. Klinger writes in the Handbook of Imagination and Mental Stimulation. [Click here.] "It thus serves as a kind of reminder mechanism, thereby increasing the likelihood that the other goal pursuits will remain intact and not get lost in the shuffle of pursuing many goals."

John Tierney, whose column appears Tuesdays and Saturdays on the Op-Ed page, has been with The New York Times since 1990. He wrote about New York in "The Big City" column, which ran from 1994 to 2002, first in The New York Times Magazine and then twice a week in The Times's Metro Section. From 2002 until 2005, except for a stint in 2003 in the Baghdad bureau, he was a correspondent in the Washington bureau, and wrote the weekly "Political Points" column during the 2004 presidential campaign.

The year is 2011: John McCain is president, the war on terror slogs on, and the mainstream media officially refer to suicide bombings as "homicide bombings." Meanwhile, back in the 'hood, Williamsburg's last surviving bodega has been declared an American Apparel outlet by eminent domain, a New York magazine cover line asks "When Did Staten Island Get So Cool?," and hipster Jimmy Burns, hottie hero of the indie-media scene, has just landed a corporate news gig vlogging live from the trenches of interminably occupied Iraq. Such are the witty, well-laid premises of Anthony Lappé and Dan Goldman's Shooting War (smithmag.us/shootingwar), an "online graphic novel" now heading into its fourth more or less weekly chapter. And if those premises haven't quite congealed yet into a narrative of novelesque grandeur, that's OK. There's time yet, and besides, the pleasures of Shooting War may ultimately derive not so much from the graphic novel as from that overhyped form's underrated bastard brother: the comic strip.
Ever since comic-book theorist-artist Scott McCloud discovered and extolled the "infinite canvas" of the web page, comic geeks have been waiting for the Internet to revolutionize the medium. And quietly, it has, though not always in the ways aesthetes might expect. Principally the Web's effect has been not so much to explode the traditional comics page as to open up the form to outsiders and amateurs. But Lappé, a lefty print and broadcast polemicist, and Goldman, co-author of the political graphic novel Everyman, are indie professionals, and their innovation, so far, lies elsewhere. Sure, the Web's a great democratizer, but it's an excellent serializer too, and the light-handed but searing political satire of Shooting War is taking the Sunday comic strip places it could never have gone before. Grab the RSS feed now, and go there with it.

By Italo Calvino "Utterly magical," says Conroy about this 1972 novel by the late Italian author. "I first read Calvino's Baron in the Trees, and it utterly worked for me. Then I read this, and I think it's one of the greatest books I've ever read. Marco Polo has traveled to the realms of China to get to the court of Beijing. He is speaking to the emperor, trying to describe places to someone who has never seen and will never see them. He begins making up cities and stories. I thought the book was poetry: It has a looking-glass feel, a fun-house feel. I could not get enough of it. If you travel with Calvino's work any distance, if you just go with it, when you're done, you feel like you've been living inside a poem."

Scott, not being a downer for the "Meetup" with Wayne, but this guys linkedin profile says he has been running this LinkedIn consulting business since 2001 - a making these presentation since 2001 -- do I want to pay $60 to hear someone who is that lackadaisical about accurate presentation of facts (LinkedIn didn't exist until 2003 - and even if he were a founder, it was founded in 2002...) --- sorry, but I just can't get into this one...
why yes, yes it is. +20 to perception.
Scott I attended the Linkedin meeting Friday. I tried changing my Linkedin name as suggested but can't see where it can be edited. When I hit edit it is my contact info but not the change the name. Do you or anyone have instructions on how to do this.
Hello Scott, thank you for joining the group. I look forward to meeting you on next week and sharing some great info on SEO and internet marketing!
Hey- saw you on one of the writers groups. I'm new to this whole meet-up thing. How does it work? Do a lot of people show up?
Hey, Scott! Nice to see you here :)
It is an actual card, no an ecard. No biggie.
Hi Scott, will plan to come if at all possible. Looking forward to it.

Fabulous w 1 Flaw
By Priestess
from San Francisco, CA
About Me Trendy/Stylish Dresser
Best Uses
Comments about LASER CUT FAUX LEATHER DRESS BLACK:
I love unique & beautiful clothing. This dress is both. Made in plether with a vintage 50's fit. The cut outs on the skirt make it lightly provocative. I loved it. So did my boyfriend. One flaw! The cut outs rubbed my hose and created snags for about 4 inches. NOTE: I wore a black leather corset from Dark Garden OVER the dress. So this may have pushed the fabric closer to my legs than the designer envisioned. I am wanting to try it with a slip or petticoat that pushes it out without hiding the cut outs.
Beyond Adorable!

About Me Classic Dresser
Purchased for company Christmas party. This dress could not match my personality better....classy but edgy. It was very comfortable, hit right at the knee as it should have. Only issue I had was I have a larger bust so my chest was definitely tight in the top. Otherwise, loved it!! Received compliments all night on how pretty and unique my dress was.

Or was it House leadership, as Delegate Doug Skaff, D-Kanawha, ventured?
Skaff said many Democrats fear loss of the majority if Speaker Rick Thompson, D-Wayne, stays in control.
"Members are concerned that they need protection going into this session," Skaff told Rivard. "If they continue the status quo, they fear not returning in two years."
That's a more accurate diagnosis.
West Virginians want better results than they are getting - in the economy, in job creation, in income, in public schools, in highways and on other fronts.
The House, under Thompson, has passed important changes in tax policy, but in other respects has failed to make needed changes. The House Education Committee, which Thompson controls, has been where education reform goes to die.
House members choose their speaker. They'll sort this out.
But West Virginians have already voted, and they seem in a hurry for change.
