Thanks for the post Steve. BTW, some of the challenges discussed from the GAO audit have been discussions at the Federal Lean-Agile Group (FLAG) and the Inter-Agency SDLC Seminars.
My 2 cents on the challenges:
- Contracting: Don't do a contract for a single project; or even if it is a single project/program, chunk it up and handle it via a single award BPA with incentives and task orders. Look for past performance and a contract approach akin to the way the Empire State Building was awarded. read Leading Lean Software Development by the Poppendieck's if you don't know this story.
- Auditing needs to move more towards assessments. Look for common characteristics "compliance" and not process compliance which is what most audits do. The approach to take here is the characteristics Alistair Cockburn describes in his Crystal suite (particular Crystal Clear); also see Becoming Agile by Smith & Sidky.
- Traditional artifact and status reviews are under control of the individual agencies; if they aren't working, change them. If they are working, keep them. Allow each project to determine what works and doesn't work for themselves. Determine this via Retrospectives and the follow-up actions from them.
I have one nit-pick: I hate the term "Best Practices"; I think most of the signatories of the Manifesto would probably hate it as well as the Manifesto starts with "We are uncovering better ways of developing
software by doing it and helping others do it." So even they recognize new practices, techniques and perhaps even the values and principles may evolve.
GovLoop just released its new report on government tech trends in 2012. See how agile fits in here: http://www.govloop.com/profiles/blogs/new-govloop-report-2012-gover...
Steve shares 7 tips for scaling up Agile: http://www.govloop.com/profiles/blogs/7-tips-on-scaling-agile
Is your contract as agile as your project?
As agencies embrace agile or modular development project and acquisition professionals must collaborate more effectively than ever before.
For your collaboration to yield the right results, you need to understand how modular or agile contracting works—in particular, what contracting approaches will set your project on the path to success.
Find out what works by joining contracting expert Linda Rodden's Webinar titled "Modular Contracting -- Procuring the Agile Way." A former Contracting Officer at GSA and the Department of Energy, Linda will share insights on what works to deliver your projects successfully, raise the performance of your project's contracts and sidestep the risks of taking what will likely be non-traditional approaches.

Ghosts Revisited: Sebald and the Idea of RemembranceGoethe-Institut Los Angeles (5750 Wilshire Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90036) Map it Free
Please join us Tuesday, April 1st, 2014 at 7:30 pm for a lecture by curator Michael EB Detto about the project, Sebald and the Image of Destruction, artists' talk, and opening reception.
Please RSVP by March 28th via +1 323 5253388 or firstname.lastname@example.com
The exhibit "Ghosts Revisited" is on view during the Goethe-Institut's business hours and events. For more information please visit:
Cultural memory is collective memory, and the artist plays a part in it. Today's notions of history and memory may be flawed and disputed, but they are especially problematic for the individual that has experienced tragedy.
The notion of "victims' silence" following tragic events has often been the subject of discussion, and is frequently linked to suffering. Should victims decide to speak about their experiences, they are likely to relive past suffering, often making it unbearable.
German writer W. G. Sebald, whose books became landmark works in the realm of esthetics and its link to memory, served as an inspiration for the exhibition entitled "Ghosts."
The exhibition includes works by Aragna Ker, Denise A. Scott., Ken Gonzales-Day, Prumsodun Ok and Michael Detto.
Curated by artists Michael EB Detto and Sayon Syprasoeuth, the exhibition focuses on the topic of memory as a central theme in exploring the roles of artists as storytellers, researchers, and/or social advocates.
As part of the exhibition, Several artists were invited to present and talk their work in Santa Monica last winter.
At the Goethe-Institut, "Ghosts Revisited" offers the chance to "revisit" these works with a lecture by curator Michael EB Detto on his project "Sebald and the Image of Destruction," as well as the opportunity to discuss the works with the artists themselves.
About the curators:
Michael EB Detto, and Sayon Syprasoeuth are artists living in Los Angeles and Irvine, California respectively. This is their first curatorial exhibition together.
Michael EB Detto was born in West Berlin and grew up in
Berlin, northern Germany and in the Black Forest.
As a child, his passion for reading introduced him to illustrated books of fairy tales and comics that initiated a passion for books, images and how they interact. Later, he had two encounters with pictures that will haunt him forever: a magazine full of color reproductions of paintings by Hieronymus Bosch, and black-and-white photographs of the Holocaust.
The main themes of his work are disaster and memory, aging and death. He views photography as a fundamentally romantic art form. In 1984, Michael Detto began studying Humanities at the University of Hamburg for five years.
His area of study included the Romantic Period, Philology, and Art History with an emphasis on the Italian Renaissance (Giorgione, Bellini and Raphael).
The focus of Detto's research was devoted to the way Dante's work was reflected in Italian art (and conversely how Dante's imagery anticipated time management in moving pictures); or how banderoles act in illuminated manuscripts and altar pieces.
Various travels to museums in Italy, Spain, France, Scandinavia, the United States, Poland, Hungary, and Russia were an integral part of Detto's studies in Art History.
He recently had a solo show of his work at Meta-House Cambodian-German Cultural Art Center, in Phnom Penh, Cambodia.
Sayon Syprasoeuth is an interdisciplinary artist, focusing on his personal experience as a refugee from Cambodia.
He grew up in Thai refugee camps, and immigrated to the United States at the age of 10.
His work addresses issues of the past and present- triggered by memories of war and trauma, beliefs, spiritual dimensions, and life in the contemporary United States.
His work has been shown in Cambodia, China, Berlin, and throughout the United States. He received his BFA from CSULB in 2003 and MFA from Claremont Graduate University (CGU) in 2007. Since 2008, he has been a Coordinator for Global Hybrid; an arts exchange between artists in Cambodia, Korea, and the United States.
He is currently an arts advisor for Applied Social Research Institute of Cambodia (ASRIC) a not-for-profit organization devoted to restoring, distributing, and implementing procedural justice for Cambodian-American victims and survivors of the Khmer Rouge.
Vernissage: Tuesday April 1st, 2014 from 7:30 - 9:30 pm
$1 validated parking (for events only) on weekdays after 6:00 pm and all day on weekends in the Wilshire Courtyard West underground garage-P1.- http://www.goethe.de/ins/us/los/ver/en12513180v.htm

Enjoy our round-up of ten mobile phone related news stories you may have missed including the announcement of two new Acer smartphones, news on the Huawei Ascend W1′s release and NVIDIA's Tegra 4i processor.
1. Acer Liquid E1 and Liquid Z2 Announced
Acer will show off a pair of new smartphones at Mobile World Congress. The Liquid Z2 is an entry-level phone with a 3.5-inch screen and a dual-core 1GHz processor, a chip also shared by the Liquid E1. The E1 ups the screen size with a 4.5-inch display, plus they both run Android 4.1 Jelly Bean. Prices will range between £85 and £200 when they go on sale in the UK later this year.
2. Ubuntu for Mobile Test Version Out Now
Ubuntu for Mobile is one of the new smartphone operating systems expected to be released later this year, but if you're a developer or a keen amateur fan of the Linux OS, you can download and install the Touch Developer Preview from Canonical. You'll need to own a Galaxy Nexus or a Nexus 4 for it to work, and obviously it'll be at your own risk as it's still a very early build.
3. Sony Xperia Z to Get Android Update Soon After Launch
The Sony Xperia Z is all set to go on sale with Android 4.1 Jelly Bean installed, but a rumour suggests Sony has an update to Android 4.2 all ready to go, and that it could arrive just a short time after launch. Sony has been notoriously lax concerning Android updates in the past, so this would be a welcome change. The company has yet to provide any official notification though.
4. Archos to Bring Smartphone Range Out Soon
Archos, a company better known for tablets and music players, is rumoured to be releasing a series of Android smartphones. Three have been leaked, the Archos 35 Carbon, the Archos 48 Platinum and the Archos 52 Platinum. Of the three, the 52 Platinum is the biggest with a 5.2-inch screen, while the 48 Platinum is a Galaxy S III-alike with a quad-core chip and a 4.8-inch touchscreen. The 35 Carbon is the basic model with a single-core 1GHz chip and a 3.5-inch screen.
5. Fujitsu Releases First Android Phone for Sale Outside Japan
Fujitsu has teamed up with Orange France to release its first phone outside of Japan, but instead of it being a top-of-the-range model, it's the Stylistic S01 - an Android phone aimed at older users. The Android OS has been modified to make it easier to use, the icons have been made larger, and clever features such as an auto-leveling volume have been added. The phone has a 4-inch screen, an 8 megapixel camera and a 1.4GHz processor. It'll be on display at Mobile World Congress and goes on sale in June.
6. O2 to Launch Huawei Ascend W1
O2 has announced it will be stocking the Huawei Ascend W1 smartphone, which runs Windows Phone 8, later on this year. It'll be available in pink and blue, but the network has yet to provide a final release date – although late March is a possibility – or any idea of price. It's unlikely to be expensive though, as it has a 1.2GHz dual-core processor, 512MB of RAM and a 5 megapixel camera.
7. Asus Memo Pad Smart 10 Demoed in Promo Video
Asus has released a video showing the Memo Pad Smart 10 tablet, which has recently been announced at an event in Thailand. The screen measures 10.1-inches and it's powered by 1.2GHz Tegra 3 chip, 1GB of RAM, plus it has 16GB of memory. The price is expected to be $299 in the US, which converts over to £195, making it very competitively priced for a quad-core Android Jelly Bean tablet.
8. NVIDIA Outs the Tegra 4i Processor
The Tegra 4 was released at CES 2013 and now, NVIDIA has announced a second version of the chip named the Tegra 4i. It's still a quad-core processor, but instead of using ARM Cortex A15 architecture, it uses the ARM Cortex A9 R4, but it integrates the i500 4G LTE modem. It's designed for smartphones only, while the Tegra 4 is for tablets as well as phones. Expect hardware using the chip until the end of the year.
9. Samsung Galaxy Star Coming Soon?
A new Galaxy smartphone under the name of the Star is being rumoured, but it's a long way from the Galaxy S III. Like Samsung's Star series of old, the Galaxy Star is an entry-level phone with a 3-inch screen, a 2 megapixel camera, 4GB of storage and Android 4.1 Jelly Bean.
10. Nokia Releases the DT-910 Wireless Charging Platform
Both the Nokia Lumia 920 and Lumia 820 can be wirelessly charged, which is a convenient feature on its own, but the new DL-910 wireless charging stand also includes NFC to further enhance the experience. Once connected and provided your phone has a special app installed, your Lumia shows a home screen with a clock, calendar and weather information, plus any upcoming appointments.

VH1 Divas 2009–New Girls In Town
There is a new group of diva's in town–and they are young, energetic, and ready to rock.
Jennifer Hudson, Miley Cyrus, Jordin Sparks, Kelly Clarkson were among the inductees at the "VH1 Diva's" concert that aired last night from the Brooklyn Academy of Music.
Hosted by Paula Abdul, who opened with an overture of her best songs, was remembered for her great dancing ability and not so much her singing. Abdul was very funny when she poked fun at Ellen DeGeneres, who is replacing her on "American Idol." Abdul donned a suit, tennis shoes, and a short blond wig, and then danced around the stage.
Jennifer Hudson sang with Stevie Wonder–her childhood hero–may have had the biggest "diva moment." Leona Lewis and Cyndi Lauper sand a duet to "True Colors," which I would like a copy of as soon as it comes out.
All in all it was a really great night. Honoring female artists–thank goodness Kanye was not there. There was a group of missing Divas–Mary J. Blige, Carrie Underwood, Beyonce, Taylor Swift…I wonder if this was on purpose; giving the other Diva's a chance to have their moment.

I think most people who are a bit sceptical about AGW on this side of the pond are the sort of people who don't buy any of the other crazy bullshit lumped with it here. Perhaps in the US where doubts about AGW are commonly held by middle-american church-goers and conservatives it might stack up.

Re: "The jury reached its decision in just three days"
You seem to imagine that the competitor analysis slides with the iPhone were the only design work done on the Galaxy S. Obviously it was only a part of the design process and it's a perfectly normal thing to do.
Secondly there are plenty of instances in that slide deck that don't end up with the Galaxy aping the iPhone. The notification system for instance. It just says to make the colour a more distinctive one. It doesn't move from the top bar to the icons like on an iPhone.
In other cases it's just a comparison like the size of font on a field where the iPhone had a more legible size so they recommend making the equivalent field also a legible size. What are they infringing there?
It's not a smoking gun, it's just business reality.

Facebook updates iOS app, still poking around for mobile dollars
Just updated to the new one on the wife's Galaxy S Bods and it was dogshit but since I'm used to the old iOS one this didn't shock exactly.
It is much better
Anyone who's seen my posts here about the previous iOS app will know that I regarded it as the buggiest, slowest piece of dog-egg that I've ever used. It is MUCH better now in the bits they've updated. However, they haven't updated it all. The Messages functionality is still pretty much unusable. I suspect that a lot of the other less-used parts of the app are still in need of a re-code too.
Overall, a B+.

Re: Tyranny of the do-gooders

Re: VAT
I mentioned that in my reply to myself but it's worth noting that VAT is charged on most goods. If consumers increase their expenditure on alcohol then presumably it will replace some of their spending on other goods. Unless those goods were zero-rated like basic food or kids clothes or one of the reduced rate goods then it makes no difference to UK coffers.
Re: Not a tax
I forgot to mention the extra VAT goes to the gov't although if they anticipate lower sales then it should all come out in the wash.
Not a tax
Whatever else this is, it is not a tax. It simply inreases the retail price that must be charged for alcohol. The money stays with the retailer, although a proportion will also be lost by the retailer due to increased wastage. (Noone will buy any damaged or short-dated stock of items priced at or near the minimum as it cannot be reduced by law to shift it. The customer will have no incentive to buy the less desirable stock so will buy the pristine stock instead. Hence it must simply be binned. No possibility of markdown for any reason will cause quite significant wastage.)
Back to the main point, I'm somewhat ashamed to be a Sheefield Uni grad with the amount of crap they put out about alcohol. I hope they all man up and accept responsibility when the meths deaths start.

PICTURES: Western Bulldogs visit Bendigo
IF Matthew Scarlett has his way, Jake Stringer will stay in the Western Bulldogs' backline.
The champion Geelong full-back is a defensive coach with the Western Bulldogs and has been working closely with Stringer.
After making his name with the Bendigo Pioneers as a forward and midfielder, Stringer played as a power forward for his first 15 games at AFL level.
But the past three matches Stringer has been moved to defence.
"It's been different for me, but I don't mind it,'' Stringer said in Bendigo on Tuesday.
"Matty Scarlett has been trying to get me down back for a quite a while… he reckons I'd make a good backman.
"We've been a bit short in defence, so that's where I've been needed.
"It's been a big challenge, but playing down back on some big experienced blokes will help me learn a few tricks for when I play forward as well."
Stringer has played on James Podisadly, Paul Chapman, Jake Carlisle, Chris Dawes and James Frawley in the past three weeks.
He said working closely with Scarlett had improved his defensive game.
"I do my video edits with Matthew and then we'll work on things out on the field,'' Stringer said.
"He's been awesome for me. I'm very lucky to have him helping me.
"Cam Mooney helps out the forwards and he's been great for me as well.
"Cam wants me back in the forward line, but Scarlo reckons I'm better off down back."
Stringer and team-mate Stewart Crameri were in Bendigo on Tuesday as part of the Bulldogs' Community Day.
They visited primary schools and spoke at an AFL Central Victoria forum for teenagers who have dropped out of football in the past 12 months.
In his first season with the Bulldogs since crossing from Essendon, Crameri is coming off a four-goal performance in Saturday night's win over Melbourne.
"My form has been a bit up and down,'' the Maryborough product said.
"I'm really enjoying being part of the Bulldogs.
"The coaches and players have been great to me.
"Jake (Stringer) and I have our lockers next to each other, so we've been getting on really well."
Crameri is the number one ticket holder at his home club Maryborough and he returned to the club a fortnight ago to watch the Magpies play Strathfieldsaye.
"It was great to get back to my home club and get involved with the locals,'' he said.
"It was good to watch Maryborough play again.
"The club is on the right track and I reckon you'll seem them win a few games in the second of the year."

5 of 5 people found the following review helpful
Documentary or mockumentary?,
This review is from: Spellbound [DVD] [2003] (DVD)
For the first ten minutes of Spellbound you could be forgiven for assuming that this is another sarcastic slice of American life from Christopher Guest - some of the characters featured in the opening scenes could so easily have been plucked from 'Best in Show'. But as the laughter subsides, you realise that this truly is a very watchable documentary and a great insight into what is an important part of American society for thousands of kids (and their scary parents) - the national Spelling Bee.
The documentary follows eight kids from very different social and economic backgrounds as they prepare for, and then compete in the Bee. The dedication and determination shown by the competitors is extraordinary, whilst the pressure they are put under during the actual contest makes you wonder whether it is all worth it.
All in all, this is a very enjoyable documentary which reveals a snapshot of American life rarely touched upon and little known about in the UK.

The Carol City Cartel, made up of Rick Ross, Torch & Gunplay, is ready to feed off the success Ross provided with his Def Jam debut, Port of Miami. Their single, Where You From?, featuring Poe Boy Entertainment label mate and fellow Floridian, Brisco, sounds like a track that was left off the former mentioned album.

Woman, 64, offers burly thief a fierce fight for her purse
Toker, 64, a native of Argentinian who became a U.S. citizen in 1998, said she didn't think of the possible danger to herself when she tussled with the robber over her purse. Afterwards, her two adult daughters, she said, weren't happy about what she did, telling her that the man could have had a knife or a gun, and no purse was worth her life.
The robbery happened about 10:40 am. Thursday. Toker, who is separated from her husband and whose only income is her monthly $475 Social Security check, was walking to the Currier Institute of Art, her woven brown bag accented with a large bow in a dark brown and white giraffe pattern tucked under one arm. In her other hand, she carried a paper tote containing all her personal and financial papers.
The robber took off running with her purse and Toker ran right after him. She caught up to him in a nearby alley where he had stopped and was rummaging through her purse. He had her purple wallet, one she bought for herself on her birthday 10 years ago, and was tearing through it.
He shoved her to the ground, but Toker still kept trying to get her property back. The purse, she said, contained her life: the cell phone with all the numbers of her children and friends; a wallet with her daughters' photographs; the $2 lucky bill she had carried for years; and very little money because, she explained, she really doesn't have any.
Toker recovered her pocketbook, which also contained her eyeglasses, and her cell phone, which was undamaged in the incident. The wallet is torn, but still useable, although she would like to get a new one.
He had short dark hair, was clean-shaven and wore a red T-shirt, black shorts and light-colored tennis shoes.

A little-known element of the economic recovery bill can help address our urgent need to expand broadband service.
A little-known element of the economic recovery bill can help
address our urgent need to expand broadband service.
I JUST SPENT HALF a day on the Organization for Economic Cooperation and
Development website (OECD). Specifically, I was looking at the
nearly 50 charts and graphs showing comparisons among countries on all
things broadband, from total subscribers to percentage of fiber connections.
I was researching a little-known component of the American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act: the Broadband Technology Opportunities Program (BTOP).
The program provides for $7.2 billion in grants and loans for broadband
initiatives, to meet the information needs of people throughout the country,
especially in rural areas. In Ed Market Lookout,
the new online information service from T.H.E. Journal publisher 1105 Media,
broadband business planning consultant Alice Taylor writes that up to 10,000
grants will be awarded-- at least one in every state-- and "educational institutions
and their vendor partners are in a front-of-the-pack position to benefit
from the initiative. Schools, libraries, colleges, and community centers are
singled out in the legislation as potentially prime receivers of 'broadband
education, awareness, training, access, equipment, and support' to enable
them to 'facilitate greater use of broadband services' in their communities."
The grant program is being administered by the National Telecommunications
and Information Administration within the Department of
Commerce, and the Rural Utilities Service within the Department
of Agriculture. However, education is also at the table, according
to Jenelle Leonard, director of school support and technology
programs at the Department of Education, who says that the
DOE is represented at weekly BTOP meetings among commerce,
agriculture, and other interested agencies.
How great is our need for expanding broadband throughout the
country? According to the OECD, as of June 2008, the US
ranks 19th worldwide with 25 broadband subscribers
per 100 inhabitants; Denmark leads with 36.7
subscribers per 100 inhabitants. We are 14th in
advertised download speed, behind such technology
juggernauts as Portugal, which sits in eighth
place. It isn't because we're cheaper:
We rank 13th in average subscription price.
Rural areas-- and urban and suburban as
well-- are crying out for broadband. And with
the growth of technology use in education,
and the increasing demand for digital content in
general and bandwidth-eating applications like movie
clips and other rich media, schools will need even
more bandwidth-- and they need it now. The BTOP
can't be implemented soon enough.

Kia Motors America (KMA) is launching a new performance sub-brand called "Red Zone," that kicks off with a performance variant of the 2014 Soul that goes on sale in the first quarter next year. The car is an extrapolation of the the company's Track'ster concept previously unveiled at the 2012 Chicago Auto Show.
"The Soul has always appealed to those who choose to express their individuality through their vehicle, and special editions have been a part of the lineup since the first-generation Soul went on sale in 2009," said Michael Sprague, executive vice president, marketing & communications, KMA. "The Red Zone Soul underscores that independent spirit and brings to life many styling features from our wild Track'ster concept."
As with all previous special-edition Souls, the "Red Zone" will be offered in limited quanities. Just 2,000 examples will be available.

---- — Elmore staff thanked
TO THE EDITOR: I am writing to express our gratitude to Elmore SPCA's staff for their generosity and support for the Animal Science Veterinary Assistant Program at Champlain Valley Educational Services, CV-TEC.
Elmore staff provided a great opportunity for the ASVA students to learn at their facility with hands-on experience. It is the knowledge and kindness of their staff that made our time there a positive educational experience.
We look forward to maintaining a working relationship with Elmore's SPCA in the future. Their time spent with us is greatly appreciated.
Any reader that is considering giving an animal a lifelong, loving home, please go see the staff at Elmore SPCA. They will guide you in choosing the perfect pet for your home.

Wonderful ideas
TO THE EDITOR: I recently have read and heard of the wonderful ideas about improving our City of Plattsburgh's economy and its appearance from our Mayor Jim Calnon.
If only he was the president of our great country: USA.
Beautiful alternatives
TO THE EDITOR: There has never been any harassment from any prayer participant, nor any flyers "thrown" at anyone going into Planned Parenthood.
No obscenities have ever been directed at anyone. The people are praying for the mother and baby out of love and concern, offering support and life-giving alternatives.
The obscenities mentioned are usually directed at those of us praying. Never would any of these individuals praying utter an obscenity or show meanness to anyone entering or leaving.
Maybe PP finds it difficult to understand the concern we feel for these women entering those doors of death? We want to save the life of a child but also save the mother from the lifelong pain of regret after choosing to abort her child. The stories post-abortive women share are available in the following books: "Unplanned," by Johnson; "40 Days for Life," by Bereit; and "Recall Abortion," by Morena. When the hearts and minds of these women tell them that this decision was wrong, it haunts them the rest of their lives.
Entire families suffer when a child's life is killed through abortion. Grief has no boundaries.
"Project Rachel" and "Rachel's Vineyard" are two programs that are available to help post-abortive women.
The sidewalk counselor mentioned simply touched the man's shoulder to help him realize that this baby, his child, was already developing in the womb of his girlfriend and that she very much wanted their child. Why was no one there supporting her right to choose life while he was forcing her to abort their child?
We will continue to be present because women are changing their minds. Do not let death be the "choice" we hand mothers. We can do much better than that.
Love offers beautiful alternatives.
Reverse mortgages
TO THE EDITOR: This Letter to the Editor, which is not in the realm of my usual writings, would probably have reached more readers if I had been a TV actor, but here are my feelings relative to the barrage of TV advertisements for reverse mortgages.
They are financially dangerous to anyone that does not fully understand the ramifications of such a loan until it is too late.
Offering your life's biggest investment without first understanding the terms, or not seeking legal advice, could be the biggest mistake of your life.
This letter is especially aimed at those in need of financial help or facing retirement without adequate funds or investments, who believes that this type of loan is their salvation.
Most all these advertisements for the loans are performed by actors or names and faces that will be recognized by the viewers due to the staged performance of that individual from previous exposure.
There are many people who ridicule Wikipedia, but if you want a clear understanding of how a reverse mortgage works, and the pitfalls that one might incur, visit the website: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse_mortgage. It could make a big difference in your retirement or needs.
Remember it is always best to seek advice from a lawyer, banker or investment broker first.
And to make it clear to the readers, I have no interest in or need the benefits so advertised on TV other than my desire to alert many of the public that might let their guard down while searching for a better future.
Pet Walk fundraiser
TO THE EDITOR: This year, the week of May 5 to 11 marks both Be Kind to Animals Week and National Pet Week.
These events both recognize and celebrate the life-saving and other services provided by animal shelters such as our local Adirondack Humane Society.
To help celebrate these events, AHS will host our 15th-annual Pet Walk from noon to 3 p.m. Sunday, May 4, at the Melissa L. Penfield Park, 139 Boynton Ave., Plattsburgh.
This is our major fundraising event of the year, and all proceeds from this event support our shelter and its ongoing services and programs.
This year, we will feature music, refreshments, local vendors, dog contests, a dog painting party, storytelling from Gordie Little and demonstrations from the Search & Rescue K9 unit.
The Adirondack Humane Society invites members of the Plattsburgh community to participate in Pet Walk 2014, talk with the staff and meet the many animals we have available for adoption at the shelter, located at 134 Idaho Ave. You can view our animals up for adoption at www.petfinder.com.
The AHS serves the community in numerous ways: assisting people in adopting a new animal companion, returning lost animals to their human families, offering programs to promote responsible pet ownership, providing financial assistance for spay and neuter of pets, to name only a few.
Since we opened in August 1998, more than 5,600 animals have found loving homes, and AHS has been financially supportive in spaying/neutering of more than 3,400 animals.
So, if possible, please participate and support Pet Walk 2014. Visit us and discover other ways that you can help our area's many animals in need.
For more information on Pet Walk or Adirondack Humane Society, please call us at 561-7297.

Literacy crucial
TO THE EDITOR: Literacy Volunteers of Essex/Franklin Counties would like to thank the Lake Placid Rotary Club and its Literacy Committee for hosting another successful Trivia Night on April 1 at the Comfort Inn in Lake Placid.
This fun-filled and friendly event brought more than 150 people together to raise much-needed funds for local literacy projects.
Team Learned Lukers, led by Bob Hanna, claimed first place, followed by the Literacy Bombers, led by Cheryl Schiller. After a tough tiebreaker, third place was awarded to team Maple Madness, led by Sybil Quayle.
Literacy Volunteers is a charitable organization that enables people over the age of 16 to achieve personal goals through student-centered literacy tutoring.
Literacy Volunteers and the adult learners we support benefit directly from the funds raised by the Rotary Club.
Literacy is crucial to building strong communities. Without literacy, adults must follow others, wait for answers and hope for opportunities.
Literacy leads — to employment, independence and opportunities. It is the foundation of education, and when adults read, their children read. When families read, our communities become more active and stronger.
Support from the Rotary Club ensures that our adult literacy programs continue to changes lives of residents in the Tri-Lakes region. We would not be able to deliver our effective and proven programs without their help.
