Inside the DoD Reporter's Notebook: DoD's even-more-complicated-than-usual budget request
Federal News Radio's DoD Reporter Jared Serbu offers news tidbits and buzz about the Defense Department.
Military sexual assaults: Impassioned Senate debate but no change in the handling of cases
Even defense hawks are pessimistic about DoD 2015 request for extra funds
The Obama administration says the Defense Department needs an additional $26 billion in excess of next year's Defense spending caps in order to carry out DoD's mission. But even the staunchest defenders of the Pentagon budget on Capitol Hill acknowledge that the extra funding is unlikely to materialize.
Pentagon, Senate lawmakers already at odds over 2015 budget cuts
DoD's cost savings proposals for 2015 and beyond include something for every lawmaker to hate. The process of selling the budget on Capitol Hill officially kicked off Wednesday, and the reception was not exceptionally warm.
Former IRS official refuses to testify at hearing
Former IRS official Lois Lerner refuses to testify at House hearing on tea party targeting
GAO seeks budget hike to restore staffing from rock-bottom levels
The Government Accountability Office is requesting about $525 million for fiscal 2015, an increase of about 4 percent, or $19 million, above current levels. The additional funding would allow the agency to continue staffing up the agency from the nearly rock-bottom levels it hit over the past few years. The additional funding would also allow GAO to make upgrades to its aging IT infrastructure and do long-deferred building upkeep and and maintenance
Biennial budget process will reduce agency waste, increase congressional efficiency
Twenty states currently use biennial budgeting, with great results, says Congressman Reid Ribble. Rep. Ribble's column is part of Federal News Radio's special report, Now or Never: Ideas to Save the Failing Budget Process.
Long-term budget outlook key to fiscal success
Under the current annual budget cycle, the difficult struggle to pass appropriations bills consumes too much valuable time and effort, says Robert Bixby, executive director of The Concord Coalition. Mr. Bixby's column is part of Federal News Radio's special report, Now or Never: Ideas to Save the Failing Budget Process.
Fixing the budget problem starts with accepting the politics behind it
Adopting biennial appropriations and committing to stable funding for capital investments would go a long way towards fixing a broken budget process that is inherently political, says Bryan Clark of the Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments. Mr. Clark's column is part of Federal News Radio's special report, Now or Never: Ideas to Save the Failing Budget Process.
Feds should not shoulder the burden of deficit reduction
Federal employees continue to be Congress' go-to resource for deficit reduction through pay freezes and increases in their retirement contributions, according to Congressman Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.). Van Hollen's column is part of Federal News Radio's special report, Now or Never: Ideas to Save the Failing Budget Process.
Senate bill blocks background-check firms from reviewing own work
The Preventing Conflicts of Interest with Contractors Act would block the Office of Personnel Management from contracting with companies to perform final quality reviews if those same companies are also responsible for conducting initial investigations. OPM Director Katherine Archuleta announced in early February that, going forward, only federal employees would conduct final quality reviews. The new bill writes Archuleta's decision into law. Otherwise it could be reversed by a future OPM director.
The BGOV Defense Summit: The New Pentagon Reality
On this week's Capital Impact show, Admiral James Winnefeld, vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, discusses Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel's inaugural budget with Bloomberg Television's Peter Cook.
February 27, 2014
Will IRS budget pleas be ignored in Congress?
IRS Commissioner John Koskinen told members of the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Financial Services and General Government that budget and staffing reductions are impacting the agency's core missions of customer service and tax collection. The agency projects it will only be able to answer 61 percent of phone calls this year, meaning some 20 million phone calls will go unanswered. Meanwhile, taxpayers attempting to reach IRS offices are facing wait times that stretch past 20 minutes.
Key Senate panel to probe federal pay, morale issues
The Senate subcommittee with oversight of the federal workforce will take up the issue of federal-employee compensation and sinking employee morale. Sen. Jon Tester (D-Mont.), the subcommittee chairman, said at the National Treasury Employees Union's annual legislative conference that the hearing would focus, in part, on making sure federal pay stays competitive with the private sector.
Rep. Graves tries again to increase small business contracting goals
The chairman of the Small Business Committee plans to introduce two bills today. One will increase the governmentwide small business prime contracting goal to 25 percent from 23 percent. The other focuses on contract bundling and data transparency.
DoD ties another round of BRAC to sizable civilian personnel cuts
Defense Department officials said reducing and realigning bases and depots will help them achieve more savings that can be put toward readiness. Acting Defense Deputy Secretary Christine Fox said this round of BRAC would be different than in 2005.
Will there be acquisition reform in 2014?
Jon Etherton, president of Etherton and Associates, Inc., will discuss whether Congress will pass acquisition reform this year.
February 25, 2014
DoD nominees face scrutiny over Pentagon plan to shrink compensation costs
Just a day after Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel proposed reductions in military end-strength and shrinking compensation costs as part of next year's budget plan, a slate of nominees to lead key offices at the Pentagon faced congressional scrutiny.
Congress skeptical about plan to shrink military
Obama administration's plan to shrink US military faces sharp resistance in Congress
DoD's 2015 budget envisions smaller military with less generous benefits
The Pentagon says its spending plan acknowledges defense spending is on a downward trajectory, and reduces force structure in order to balance other priorities such as readiness. If sequestration stays in place, the calculus will change, Defense officials say.

Manchester United midfielder Ryan Giggs has been named the greatest player in the Premier League's 20 years.
The 38-year-old has featured and scored in every season since the inauguration of English football's top tier in 1992.
He has won the Premier League 12 times with United during that duration, scoring 2008's title clincher at Wigan Athletic when he equalled Sir Bobby Charlton's appearance record for the club.
United manager Sir Alex Ferguson was named best manager at the 20-year awards, while Arsenal's Invincibles of 2003/04 took the best team accolade.
Seven United players, including Giggs, featured in an expert panel's best XI over the past two decades.
In tribute to the Welsh midfielder, here's a gallery charting his United career...

My Five ChildrenPosted On Tuesday, August 16, 2011 by Busisiwe |
All the stories I've read have a happy ending.... In 2002 I met my future husband, JB, funny, loving, kind and honest. I fell pregnant in April 2003 at a grand age of 24 - never ever having been on any contraceptive. I was more scared of having disappointed my parents than at actually being pregnant- I loved it - I wanted the baby!!! Naively, we thought all would go well, all we had to do was wait 9 months, and hooray we are parents. Though unprepared, we went on to prepare for the new arrival, attended antenatal clinics and all. But at 20 weeks, while at work, I felt excruciating lower abdominal pains, called the ambulance and was taken to hospital and unfortunately I miscarried. No medical explanation was given, all I got was 'its normal' 'it sometimes happens'... It hurt, but we learnt to accept it and move on. In 2004, we decided to try again, and in February we conceived. Nothing was left to chance; I consulted our GP who referred me to a well known gynae in our city. Alas at 19 week, the same thing happened. I was admitted at a private hospital where I was given a drug to induce labour, a few hours later I gave birth to my baby boy. The hospital had a policy of incinerating still born babies; I never got to bury baby, have a tombstone laid .... I was later told the miscarriage was due to a urinary tract infection. As a woman, I felt like a failure; failing to be a part of the God-given gift of bringing children unto this earth. I cried myself to sleep so many nights, I was disheartened and depressed. Advice on what to do came left right and centre. On the breadth, some blamed me for having done something wrong. My performance at work deteriorated. I began to even blame myself and at one time wondered if life was worth living when all it brought was pain. As you know children are a vital part in a marriage in the African culture. Some of you might understand the insults, the naming, and the scolding that comes from the in-laws when no grandchildren appear in the picture. My husband and I decided to take a break for a while until in January 2006 when I conceived our 3rd child. Our GP was consulted, referred to an ob/gynae, went under a barrage of test and like someone said, felt like a guinea pig, but for a baby I was willing to do anything. All the visits to the doc and test did not reveal anything. Because of the previous history of miscarriage they advised on a Shirodkar stitch which was inserted at 11 weeks. At around 22 weeks I started to gain some weight which I thought was normal baby weight. My gynae checked my BP and it was normal and told me not to worry, just make sure you rest and not exert yourself. At 27 weeks, on a visit to the gynae, he was shocked at how big I was, weighed me and sent me straight to hospital. He got me frightened because he did not explain much. To me, it was like I'm going to hospital for overnight observation and then back home the following day. Urine and blood samples were taken to determine protein levels. This was my first time to hear the word - proteinuria!! The next morning when I weighed in I had gained 3kgs overnight. The doc straight away said we have to operate you NOW to save your life. This is the time I heard of PRE-ECLAMPSIA; the dreaded and deadly disease. It was shocking news, earth shattering to say the least. To make things worse, my husband was working out of town that week, there was nobody to hold my hand. My baby girl Elaine Thandeka Moyo was born 7 October 2006 with a weight of 710g, the smallest preemie to be ever born at Mater Dei Hospital. She was so tiny, her chest was hollow (not fully formed even though I was injected with the drug Surfactant), and little limbs the size of my little finger, fragile. I cried, there was no hope she would survive the night, all hooked up to so many machines. She fought for her dear life. I spent three months at hospital feeding her, changing her trying to bond with her. Her lungs were so underdeveloped she became dependant on oxygen. I lived a life that was purely focused on her, I became like a resident of the hospital. I lived a life that I never knew existed. It taught me patience and resilience. I would get disheartened when one of the other mothers were discharged with their babies. Some came and went, leaving me with my baby Thandeka. Finally on the 3rd of January 2007 we were discharged with a weight of 1,7kgs. I was so excited with taking our baby home and being away from the hospital environment. Not all was rosy at home. Preemies forget to breath sometimes and especially my girl since she spent a lot of time on oxygen. We were in and out of the Pead's rooms for the coming till she succumbed and left us on the 25th of February 2011. I was devasted, my husband more than me. Again we were robbed of the chance of being parents.  All hope was not lost. I found strength in the word of God, my family and especially my husband. In 2008 we decided to try again. Again at 20 weeks symptoms of pre-eclampsia started to creep in. My gynae had earlier prescribed Methyldopa a drug to control BP. On a visit to the doc my BP reading was 160/120!!! I had a splitting headache that just wouldn't go away even after taking the prescribed medication. I went into a seizure. My husband and young sister witnessed the whole episode. They say I was convulsing and frothing in the mouth, my husband actually shed tears (a sight I've never seen)! I do not know much of what happened in the next two days as I was unconscious and in ICU. My first question when I came to was "Where's my baby?â€Â Pre-eclampsia had struck again taking my 4th child, my daughter! I lost two days of my life, as I do not remember anything from the time of the seizure to the day I came to. I could not see my visitors due to temporary blindness – fortunately I can now see though short-sighted, and walking once it gets dark is a feat and have no balance. My right leg was paralysed, but with the help of physiotherapy I can now walk. What is more frustrating to deal with is the loss of memory and reduction recollection speed. I told myself no more! I went on the pill as advised by my gynae. Candida became an issue. Every three week to a month I was the doctor's complaining of thrush. My GP explained that pills were a contributory factor in that they added glucose which aided in multiplying the Candida and advised that I change my contraceptive. All the other options were thrown for various reasons, so he suggested we stop and try for a baby again. My husband refused point black fearing for my life. As a woman, my motherly cravings were running riot considering I was now 31 years old. I managed to convince my husband though he was skeptical. So in late January 2010 I conceived. All precautions were taken, the visit to the doc bi weekly, BP drugs prescribed, supplements as well. But alas at 21 weeks on the 16th of June 2010 I was operated AGAIN to save my life. My blood pressure was at 174/140! My baby girl was gone – I was left holding nothing AGAIN!!!! Emotionally damaged, physically damaged – I see the scars of the 3 operations everyday and they are a painful reminder. Who to blame – me, the doctors, God, who?? Who to turn to for help? I do not know. Is there hope for someone like me? Several women die every day because of preeclampsia. I am very fortunate to be alive and well... I shed tears for the loss, lack of care from our health officials, lack of education on the disease. I thank my husband. The word of God says, 'No weapons fashioned against us shall prosper ', and I think – when will my day be??? |
From one mom to another
Posted On Thursday, August 25, 2011 by Amanda I am so sorry for your losses. I too have lost a baby to this unexplained PE. I can't imagine how you are feeling but after reading your story a piece of scripture came to mind. "He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds." Psalm 147:3 I am adding you to my prayer list. Amanda |
thank you

Zo….Ya gotta find a pic of Chase walking around the clubhouse in his *high-waters*! Heard it was hilarious!
I'm secure enough in my sexuality to say- "Dead Sexy!!!".
I almost didn't recognize Jayson Werth with his new shorter hair….they all looked maahvelous!
Unfortunately for everybody (but fortunately for Chase) I'm not sure such photos of Utley exist.
Very cool! Can't wait to see the team photo!
Hey would you mind stating which blog platform you're working with?
I'm planning to start my own blog in the near future but I'm having a tough time making a decision between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal.
The reason I ask is because your design seems different then
most blogs and I'm looking for something completely unique.
P.S Apologies for getting off-topic but I had to ask!

Asperger's Syndrome Diagnosis
Patient Comments
An interdisciplinary team is generally required for a comprehensive clinical assessment. This comprehensive evaluation should include a psychological assessment (including, at a minimum, intellectual and adaptive functioning), a communication evaluation (particularly focused on nonverbal forms of communication), and a neurological, psychiatric, and medical evaluation. Intellectual (IQ) testing may be of specific help, since verbal IQ scores are often significantly higher than performance IQ scores for children with Asperger's syndrome.

Local Do's and Taboos
Customs of the Country
Welcoming and helpful, porteños are a pleasure to travel among. They have more in common with, say, Spanish or Italians, than other Latin Americans. However, although cultural differences between here and North America are small, they're still palpable.
Porteños are usually fashionably late for all social events—don't be offended if someone keeps you waiting over half an hour for a lunch or dinner date. However, tardiness is frowned upon in the business world.
Political correctness isn't a valued trait, and just about everything and everyone—except mothers—is a target for playful mockery. Locals are often disparaging about their country's shortcomings, but Argentina-bashing is a privilege reserved for Argentineans.
Sadly, the attitudes of many porteños toward foreigners vary greatly according to origin and race. White Europeans and North Americans are held in far greater esteem than, say, Peruvians or Bolivians. Racist reactions—anything from insults or name-calling to giving short shrift—to Asian, black, or Native American people are, unfortunately, not unusual. Although there's little you can do about this in day-to-day dealings, Argentina does have an antidiscrimination body, Institución Nacional contra la Discriminación, la Xenofobia y el Racismo (INADI; www.inadi.gov.ar) that you can contact if you're the victim of serious discrimination.
Porteños have no qualms about getting physical, and the way they greet each other reflects this. One kiss on the right cheek is the customary greeting between both male and female friends. Women also greet strangers in this way, although men—especially older men—often shake hands the first time they meet someone. Other than that, handshaking is seen as very cold and formal.
When you arrive at a party it's normal to kiss and greet absolutely everyone in the room (or, if you're in a restaurant, everyone at your table). When you leave, you say good-bye to everyone and repeat the performance.
Porteños only use the formal "you" form, usted, with people much older than them or in very formal situations, and the casual greeting ¡Hola! often replaces buen día, buenas tardes, and buenas noches. In small towns formal greetings and the use of usted are much more widespread.
You can dress pretty much as you like: skimpy clothing causes no offense. Argentine men almost always allow women to go through doors and board buses and elevators first, often with exaggerated ceremony. Far from finding this sexist, local women take it as a god-given right. Frustratingly, there's no rule about standing on one side of escalators to allow people to pass you.
Despite bus drivers' best efforts, locals are reluctant to move to the back of buses. Pregnant women, the elderly, and those with disabilities have priority on the front seats of city buses; offer them your seat if these are taken.
Children and adults selling pens, notepads, or sheets of stickers are regular fixtures on urban public transport. Some children also hand out tiny greeting cards in exchange for coins. The standard procedure is to accept the merchandise or cards as the vendor moves up the carriage, then either return the item (saying no, gracias) or give them money when they return.
Most porteños are hardened jaywalkers, but given how reckless local driving can be, you'd do well to cross at corners, wait for pedestrian lights, and even then keep a close eye on nearby cars.
Out on the Town
A firm nod of the head or raised eyebrow usually gets waiters' attention; "disculpa" (excuse me) also does the trick. You can ask your waiter for la cuenta (the check) or make a signing gesture in the air from afar.
Alcohol—especially wine and beer—is a big part of life in Argentina. Local women generally drink less than their foreign counterparts, but there are no taboos about this. Social events usually end in general tipsiness rather than all-out drunkenness, which is seen as a rather tasteless foreign habit.
Smoking is very common in Argentina, but antismoking legislation introduced in Buenos Aires in 2006 has banned smoking in all but the largest cafés and restaurants (which must have extractor fans and designated smoking areas). Smoking is prohibited on public transport, in government offices, in banks, and in cinemas.
Public displays of affection between heterosexual couples attract little attention in most parts of the country; beyond downtown Buenos Aires, same-sex couples may attract hostile reactions.
All locals tend to make an effort to look nice—though not necessarily formal—for dinner out. Older couples get very dressed up for the theater; younger women usually put on high heels and makeup for clubbing.
If you're invited to someone's home for dinner, a bottle of good Argentine wine is the best gift to take to the hosts.
Argentina's official language is Spanish, known locally as castellano (rather than español). It differs from other varieties of Spanish in its use of vos (instead of tú) for the informal "you" form. Locals readily understand the use of tú but you blend in more with vos. You conjugate it by simply replacing the "r" of the infinitive with "s" and placing the stress (and accent) on the last syllable; thus the vos form of caminar (to walk) is "vos caminás", and of decir (to say) is "vos decís." The verb ser (to be) is irregular: "vos sos" (you are) is the local equivalent of "tú eres."
There are also lots of small vocabulary differences, especially for everyday things like food. Porteño intonation is rather singsong, and sounds more like Italian than Mexican or peninsular Spanish. And, like Italians, porteños supplement their words with lots and lots of gesturing. Another porteño peculiarity is pronouncing the letters "y" and "ll" as a "sh" sound.
In hotels, restaurants, and shops that cater to visitors, many people speak at least some basic English; in less touristy places, English-speaking staff are rarer. Attempts to speak Spanish are usually appreciated. Basic courtesies like buen día (good morning) or buenas tardes (good afternoon), and por favor (please) and gracias (thank you) are a good place to start. Even if your language skills are basic and phrasebook bound, locals generally make an effort to understand you.
Buenos Aires' official tourism body runs a free, 24-hour tourist assistant hotline with English-speaking operators, 0800/999-2838.

The Rosemont (Ill.) Convention Center and the Riggers and Decorators unions have signed an agreement designed to cut exhibitors' costs by about 10 percent. The unions agreed to reduce the hours during which workers are paid overtime, and will now allow exhibitors to do more work themselves within their own booths.
The Riggers and Decorators are the two smallest unions of the five that have jurisdiction in the Chicago area. Currently, Rosemont is not negotiating with the other unions. Nevertheless, "we're happy to get some relief," says James A. Freeman, executive director, Rosemont Convention Center. "Obviously, Chicago labor is an area of concern. Even though the largest trades are not involved, we feel it's a good step, and we hope we will keep progressing."
Freeman added that all savings made by Rosemont Exhibition Services, the center's general contractor, will be passed on to exhibitors. In the past, Chicago unions have charged that when they made concessions, savings were pocketed by general contractors and not passed on to exhibitors.

Today's post is really special because I have 2 different looks to present you and I hope you like them.
I'm crazy about jeans but it's always so difficult to find the ones which fit perfectly on you. I found mine in JBrand Stocking Jean line. They have an amazing quality pairing of nylon with denim which makes them so comfortable and versatile you can almost sleep with them on :)
Completely effortless, they are an easy style piece to add to your look, day or night. They hug your body and flatter your curves making you feel sexy and confident. I love them!
It was so easy for me to make a combination and I just needed a plain v neck t-shirt, my favourite shoes and a leather jacket. What do you think?

Fern Mallis (Executive Director of the CFDA from 1991-2001) asked me to be on a panel with Lori Goldstein to discuss trends at WJA.
Fern is credited with starting New York Fashion Week and has now launched her own line.
Lori has styled with photographer Steven Meisel for almost 16 years at Italian Vogue and has worked with every great photographer. She was the first stylist to use my work on the cover of Italian Vogue in 1999. She also used my work for a world wide advertorial placement for Estee Lauder with Carolyn Murphy in 2000. She is currently working on a book that will show a retrospective of her work, so you will all get to see it.
They are both very impressive women who have impacted and contributed to Fashion dramatically.

Deseret News
SALT LAKE CITY — Leave it to a proud, determined old pro like Earl Watson to show the Utah Jazz how to go in and give a great effort, making the most of a frustrating situation despite no possible chance of winning the game.
Watson came into Wednesday night's game against Oklahoma City in the second half, with the Jazz staring at a discouraging deficit that reached 32 points in the third quarter.
But he showed why he's lasted a dozen years in the NBA by battling his very best every moment he was on the court, refusing to back down against younger and quicker point guards Russell Westbrook and Reggie Jackson in the Thunder's eventual 110-87 victory.
"He's a pro," Jazz coach Tyrone Corbin said of Watson. "He's been a pro the whole time he's been here.
"He pushed the ball down the floor; he did a great job of getting the guys in their sets, cutting hard and attacking the rim."
Watson finished with nine points, six assists, two rebounds and a steal in his highly productive and impressive 19 minutes on the floor.
And though his playing time is often much less than that, the veteran point guard doesn't grumble or let himself get too disheartened by his situation.
"I was just coming in and trying to help my team, help them to become better," he said. "And it's all about the play. I love to play the game, so I just took advantage of it.
"That's the hard part," he said of his sometimes scarce opportunities to get on the court, "it is a challenge. But at the same time, the love for the game exceeds being frustrated or the talent, so you just go out there and you love the game. You just fall in love with the game and just play as hard as possible."
PLAYER OF THE GAME: Kendrick Perkins didn't score a single point, and he had more fouls (4) and turnovers (4) than he did rebounds (3), yet Oklahoma City coach Scott Brooks said the 6-foot-10 center might've been his team's most valuable player for his interior defensive effort in Wednesday night's 110-87 victory over the Jazz.
After all, Jazz big men Al Jefferson and Paul Millsap were a combined 5-of-18 from the field and had just 15 points and 14 rebounds between them on Wednesday after going off for a combined 41 points and 17 rebounds in Utah's 15-point victory over the Thunder a month ago in Salt Lake City.
"I thought their bigs really did a good job of setting the tone for their team in Utah," Brooks told the Daily Oklahoman newspaper. "And I thought our bigs did a great job (in Wednesday's rematch). Perk if you had to give a game ball, you'd give it to him.
"He was a big impact throughout the game, not only on his man but anchoring our defense and not allowing any easy points in the paint in that first three quarters."
THE HURT LOCKER (ROOM): The Jazz have been plagued by a rash of injuries to key personnel during the past couple of months, and it seems like when one player is healthy enough to come back from an injury, another one goes down.
Starting point guard Mo Williams missed 32 games from late December until early March with a thumb injury that required surgery. And in recent weeks, shooting guard Gordon Hayward sat out 10 games from late January to mid February with a sprained shoulder; Al Jefferson missed three games earlier this month with a sprained ankle, and Paul Millsap missed four of Utah's last eight games with ankle and knee problems.
Point guard Jamaal Tinsley, who started 27 games during Williams' prolonged absence, has missed Utah's last two games due to illness.

Not bad, but VERY clunky.
BR for the win.
The only commandments we need are:
1. Be friendly with others.
2. Treat women respectfully
3. Don't be a dick!
I think that about gets it.
If you actually must have a list to remind you not to lie, steal, and kill, then you may have a dangerous psychological problem. Social and cultural knowledge-as well as accent is innate. We automatically learn it growing up. No list is ever necessary. "Don't be a dick" pretty much covers everything, doesn't it.
@John Cook
Not everyone is that smart. Sometimes you have to define the term "dick."
When I was teaching high school, some of the other teachers wold pass out a long list of rules for their classroom. I never saw the need and would tell the students that I only had one rule. Treat each other as ladies and gentlemen. Enough said. I rarely had a problem.

Over the past several months an aggressive Rapala ad campaign touted "Evasive Action Coming," so we knew something big was on the way from fishing's equivalent to Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory.
Then, during this year's Bassmaster Classic, the curtain was lifted, revealing a family of four new baits that feature a lip design unlike anything we'd ever seen.
Might as well have been an Everlasting Gobstopper. The anglers at the Classic went cuckoo like kids in a candy store with everyone trying to get a look, wondering when they'd get their first taste.
Mike Iaconelli reveals the Scatter Rap Crank
The name? The Scatter Rap, aptly named for its zig-zagging, hunting and deflective action, which mimics the flight response of wounded or spooked baitfish.
The Scatter Rap family is comprised of the Scatter Rap Crank , Scatter Rap Shad, Scatter Rap Minnow and Scatter Rap Countdown. This group is united by a unique lip design that's drastically different than common round- and square-bill designs. From what we're told, besides amazing action tolerances inherent in this new lip design, anglers will discover an unprecedented level of user-definable crankbait action, depending on the speed of retrieve.
Rapala pro, Ott Defoe dotes on the new Scatter Rap series
Ott's Thoughts
We talked with Bass Elite pro Ott DeFoe at the recent 2013 Bassmaster Classic and he gave NAFC a sneak peak at the baits, which he said were getting bit during pre-fishing on Grand Lake, Oklahoma.
He says the first time he saw the baits he was a bit skeptical and had a lot of questions, like how they were going to act in the water? But he became a quick convert with the first cast on Florida's Bienville Plantation this past January.
"The fish were in shallow water over grass that made fishing most cranks impossible," says DeFoe.
"But the Scatter Rap Crank stayed grass-free and behaved liked it was deflecting off cover, even though there wasn't any. It drove the fish nuts. That's when I learned that these baits were going to be very, very effective," he explains.
He sees the baits as a new go-to tool for probing areas where most cranks would get their trebles gummed up, like over and around grasses and wood.
Pre-Bassmaster Classic DeFoe unveils his secret weapon
Knock On Wood
DeFoe—like a lot of other bass anglers across the globe—has long had a love affair with the tight wobble of Shad Raps, especially for cold-water bass. Only problem is, Shad Raps have never been very fishable around heavy wood and cover. For bass over rock and mid-basin depths, sure, but not in the gnarly alleys where square bills reign supreme.
The Scatter Rap Shad allows you to produce that hunting action without hitting anything by simply varying your retrieve speed from slow to fast.
"Now, with the advent of the Shatter Rap Shad and its wide lip, I can slither it through wood and it deflects like your wouldn't believe. The bass just don't know what to do. They're not used to seeing a tight-wobbling bait in the wood," he continues.
Instant Classic
Featuring Rapala's classic balsa minnow profile, the Rapala Scatter Rap Minnow perfectly imitates a baitfish fleeing from attack.
Over the course of the four days allotted for pre-fishing Oklahoma's Grand Lake prior to the Classic, he probed shallow and deep water, catching a number of fish running the new Scatter Rap Shad and Scatter Rap Crank at the 6- to 8-foot running depth.
"I threw Dark Brown Crawdad, Demon, and Blue Back Herring colored Cranks and Shads during prefishing," the Rapala pro explains. "But the fish I marked moved deeper by the time the tournament started, so I went back to my deeper baits."
Still, he is convinced Scatter Raps are destined for some big wins in 2013, especially where shallow-water bites enter the picture.
"Anything you can do to eke out a little advantage here or there on Sabine River can be big," he says. "I think the Scatter Raps are definitely going to get some abuse."
Same goes for the upcoming BASS Elite event on the Mississippi River in La Crosse, Wisconsin.
"I cannot wait to put 'em in front of green and brown bass at the same time. The smallies are going to tear 'em apart," he says.
Here is Al Lindner's take on the new Scatter Rap Minnow
How To Scatter Rap
The two-turntables-and-microphone of DeFoe's newest rap routine involves 8- to 12-pound fluoro, a 6.4:1 geared baitcasting reel and a medium-heavy action rod with a soft tip.
"I like fluoro for crankin' because of its sensitivity and ability to get the bait to run deeper when needed," he says.
Anglers should also note that he'll up his line selection to 15-pound fluoro for fishing heavier cover without any fear of hurting the action of the new baits. But anglers also need to remember that with any of the Scatter Raps—speed is the number one variable in the fish-catching equation.
"Keep an eye on water temperature. As a general rule, slow down in cooler water and speed up as the water warms. A faster retrieve will give you a wider and more erratic sweep," he explains.
Looking forward to upcoming spawn and post-spawn conditions throughout the country, he is excited to put more hours on the baits.
"Although I know the Crank and Shad are going to catch a lot of fish, I think the Scatter Rap Minnow has the makings of a champ, especially fished in clear water around structure," he says in conclusion.
By simply varying your retrieve speed from slow to fast, you can get the Scatter Rap Countdown to kick out and hunt to the side.
As for the Scatter Rap Countdown, DeFoe urges anglers to think out of the box a little bit, and fish it like a bladebait or jig—rather than a jerkbait—especially in cold- or deep-water situations.
No matter how you slice it—whether it's through wood, grass, or over rock, and open water—sounds like the Scatter Rap is poised to score big in 2013.

Without a doubt, tossing topwaters, especially buzzbaits, is a fun way to fish bass, but too many anglers subscribe to the "throw-and-hope" theory. They count on the lure's gurgle and squeak to turn on bass and bring them in. Of course, that can and does happen at times. But to elevate your buzzbaiting from a technique that's always fun to one that's always fun and often productive, requires the firing of substantially more cerebral neurons.

Diabetes complications include nerve damage and poor blood circulation. These problems make the feet vulnerable to skin sores (ulcers) that can worsen quickly and are difficult to treat. Proper diabetes management and careful foot care can help prevent foot ulcers.
When foot ulcers do develop, it's important to get prompt care. A nonhealing ulcer that causes severe damage to tissues and bone may require surgical removal (amputation) of a toe, foot or part of a leg.
Here's what you need to know to keep your feet healthy, and what happens if amputation is necessary.
The best strategy for preventing complications of diabetes — including foot ulcers — is proper diabetes management with a healthy diet, regular exercise, blood sugar monitoring and adherence to a prescribed medication regimen.
Proper foot care will help prevent problems with your feet and ensure prompt medical care when problems occur. Tips for proper foot care include the following:

For Immediate Release
Contact: Mark Genovese, 518.782.9400, ext. 353
SOMERS POINT, NJ, June 1, 2012 – Registered nurses at Shore Medical Center feel like management is pushing them into a corner. The RNs are seeking a fair contract that will allow the hospital to recruit and retain nurses. But hospital officials continue to demand unreasonable givebacks during contract negotiations that would, instead, drive nurses away.
Saying they will not be intimidated, the RNs plan to conduct an informational picket from 1 to 3 p.m. on Saturday, June 9, in front of the hospital on Shore Road in Somers Point, between East New York and Brighton avenues.
Management is insisting on increasing the amount the nurses would have to pay toward their health insurance, yet it's offering wage increases that are inadequate. This means that RNs will end up taking home less each week to support their families. RNs are especially angry because the management negotiation team deliberately left negotiations early during the most recent negotiation session on May 22.
Management's latest health benefits proposal would increase contributions for full-time RNs by 12% this year, 16% next year, and 17% in 2014. For part-timers, increases would be 18% for this year, 24% next year, and 25.5% in 2014. The hospital wants to be able to increase the RNs' co-pays any time it wants – co-pays can easily reach $50 to $75, or higher. The hospital has already increased the employee contribution on non-union hospital employees to $1,000 for out-patient procedures not performed at Shore.
"Such drastic cuts will financially devastate many of us," said Joanne Venice, RN, local bargaining unit president. "We won't be able to afford to work at Shore any longer." Such increased turnover could lead to problems for the hospital, because research has shown that hospitals that are understaffed have a greater chance of complications in patient care and a lower quality of patient outcomes.
The nurses re-affirmed their commitment to each other as strong union members, overwhelmingly voting on May 2 to stay with the Nurses Association.
The New York State Nurses Association is the voice for nursing in the Empire State. With more than 37,000 members, it is New York's largest professional association and union for registered nurses. The association represents registered nurses, and some all-professional bargaining units, in New York and New Jersey. It supports nurses and nursing practice through education, research, legislative advocacy, and collective bargaining.

PITTSBURGH (AP) — One of the majors' best stories only a month ago, the Pittsburgh Pirates are collapsing to the point they might not even be able to avoid shedding a dubious distinction they've carried for almost two decades.
Alfonso Soriano hit a two-run homer in the eighth inning to give the Cubs the go-ahead runs and Chicago completed a three-game sweep of the Pirates with a 4-2 win on Sunday.
Andrew McCutchen homered and Brock Holt had three hits for the Pirates, who have lost seven of nine and continue their freefall out of contention.
Pittsburgh (72-67) peaked at 16 games over .500 this season but now needs to go 9-14 just to avoid extending their North American major professional sports record of consecutive losing seasons to 20.
"We need to play better — that's it," Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said. "I'm not going to get up here and point fingers or this and that or say this... I'm telling you how I feel — we've got to play batter. And that's it. And they know that."
Entering play on Aug. 9, the Pirates were 63-47, held a 2 1/2- game lead for a wild card spot and sat 2 1/2 games behind NL Central-leading Cincinnati.
Pittsburgh has gone 9-20 since, is 11 behind the Reds and in fourth place in the wild card standings. The Pirates' record is closer to the last-place Miami Marlins than it is to the Reds.
Despite it all, Pittsburgh remains within striking distance of a playoff spot.
"We know we're still in it," cleanup hitter Garrett Jones said. "Our confidence is still high."
Chicago is 6-20 on the road since the All-Star break, with five of those wins coming at PNC Park. The Cubs had lost eight consecutive road games before this series.

It was very important for us to find a doctor that we trusted, and we certainly found that with Dr. Bergstrom! She, along with Dr. Glocker and Dr. Grossman are very professional and thorough, yet kind and thoughtful in their approach. They are extremely generous with their time and attention, and we always feel like we get more than we pay for! The doctors and wonderful support staff really go out of their way to help Jazz - we can't thank them enough.

Senators, Karlsson agree to 7-year extension Ottawa, ON (Sports Network) - The Ottawa Senators and defenseman Erik Karlsson have agreed to terms on a seven-year contract extension. The 22-year-old Swede enjoyed a breakout season last year, setting franchise single-season records for assists (59) and points (78), while tying the mark for goals (19). "We are extremely pleased to announce that Erik Karlsson's contract has been extended for seven more years," said Senators owner Eugene Melnyk in a Tuesday statement announcing the deal. "Erik is the type of player and person that embodies an Ottawa Senator, and we are confident that on a personal basis, he will quickly become a role model for many of our young Sens fans and a great contributor to our community. We feel strongly that this long-term commitment will be great for both sides. As one of the cornerstones of our franchise, Erik will be a large part of the future success that Senators fans can look forward to." Ottawa's first-round pick in 2008, Karlsson has totaled 37 goals and 149 points with a minus-19 rating in 216 contests over his three-year NHL career. Karlsson is one of three finalists for the Norris Trophy as the league's top defenseman, along with former Senator and current Boston captain Zdeno Chara. Shea Weber of Nashville completes the trifecta. 06/19 18:31:05 ET |

Coping With Tragedy
Updated: Monday, December 17 2012, 03:56 PM EST
Mountains school systems are working with parents and teachers to try and help them cope with the concerns and sadness following the Sandy Hook Elementary tragedy.
The Buncombe Crisis Management Team spent much of Friday planning for Monday, December 17th, when they will be in the elementary schools helping young children who may have many questions. The school system reached out to parents by phone message and on the internet. They advise parents to keep young children away from the news. But if they do see it, acknowledge the sadness.
It's also important to understand the tragedy may bring up other traumatic events in a child's life. Counselors advise keep the conversations open and say the grieving process should be acknowledged and shared.
Here are some helpful strategies for parents to use in talking with their children.
