Department of Homeland Security:
Continued Progress Made Improving and Integrating Management Areas, but More Work Remains
GAO-12-1041T: Published: Sep 20, 2012. Publicly Released: Sep 20, 2012.
Additional Materials:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-9627
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
What GAO Found
Since we designated the implementation and transformation of DHS as high risk in 2003, DHS has made progress addressing management challenges and senior department officials have demonstrated commitment and top leadership support for addressing the department's management challenges. However, the department has significant work ahead to achieve positive outcomes in resolving high-risk issues. For example, DHS faces challenges in modernizing its financial systems, implementing acquisition management controls, and improving employee satisfaction survey results, among other things. As DHS continues to mature as an organization, it will be important for the department to continue to strengthen its management functions, since the effectiveness of these functions affects its ability to fulfill its homeland security and other missions.
Why GAO Did This Study
This testimony discusses the Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) efforts to strengthen and integrate its management functions. DHS now has more than 200,000 employees and an annual budget of almost $60 billion, and its transformation is critical to achieving its homeland security and other missions. Since 2003, GAO has designated the implementation and transformation of DHS as high risk because DHS had to combine 22 agencies--several with major management challenges--into one department, and failure to effectively address DHS's management and mission risks could have serious consequences for our national and economic security. This high-risk area includes challenges in strengthening DHS's management functions--financial management, acquisition management, human capital, and information technology (IT)--the effect of those challenges on DHS's mission implementation, and challenges in integrating management functions within and across the department and its components. In November 2000, we published our criteria for removing areas from the high-risk list. This high-risk area includes challenges in strengthening DHS's management functions--financial management, acquisition management, human capital, and information technology (IT)--the effect of those challenges on DHS's mission implementation, and challenges in integrating management functions within and across the department and its components. Specifically, agencies must have (1) a demonstrated strong commitment and top leadership support to address the risks; (2) the capacity (that is, the people and other resources) to resolve the risks; (3) a corrective action plan that identifies the root causes, identifies effective solutions, and provides for substantially completing corrective measures in the near term, including but not limited to steps necessary to implement solutions we recommended; (4) a program instituted to monitor and independently validate the effectiveness and sustainability of corrective measures; and (5) the ability to demonstrate progress in implementing corrective measures. On the basis of our prior work, in a September 2010 letter to DHS, we identified, and DHS agreed to achieve, 31 actions and outcomes that are critical to addressing the challenges within the department's management areas and in integrating those functions across the department to address the high-risk designation. These key actions and outcomes include, among others, obtaining and then sustaining unqualified audit opinions for at least 2 consecutive years on the departmentwide financial statements; validating required acquisition documents in accordance with a department-approved, knowledge-based acquisition process; and demonstrating measurable progress in implementing its IT human capital plan and accomplishing defined outcomes. In January 2011, DHS issued its initial Integrated Strategy for High Risk Management, which included key management initiatives (e.g., financial management controls, IT program governance, and procurement staffing model) to address challenges and the outcomes we identified for each management area. DHS provided updates of its progress in implementing these initiatives in later versions of the strategy--June 2011, December 2011, and June 2012. Achieving and sustaining progress in these management areas would demonstrate the department's ability and ongoing commitment to addressing our five criteria for removing issues from the high-risk list. As requested, this testimony will discuss our observations, based on prior and ongoing work, on DHS's progress in achieving outcomes critical to addressing its high-risk designation for the implementation and transformation of the department.

Boys & Girls Clubs Mission Clubhouse – LEED EBOM Gold
[Go Back]
Originally built in 1928, the Mission Clubhouse is one of Boys & Girls Clubs of San Francisco's nine local chapter locations. The newly renovated 15,000 sq. ft. building is located at 901 Alabama Street in the Mission District, and houses classrooms, arts and crafts rooms, media and game rooms, a teen center, and a multipurpose gymnasium for up to 150 children and teenagers every day.
Boys & Girls Clubs of San Francisco engaged Environmental Building Strategies to determine the facility's energy saving opportunities with a GAP Analysis. Then in conjunction with Nibbi General Contractors, Tom Eliot Fisch Architects, and the dedicated Boys & Girls Clubs staff, EBS helped the Mission Clubhouse achieve LEED Gold certification under the Existing Buildings Operations and Maintenance (EBOM) v2009 rating system.
Out of thousands of Boys & Girls Clubs nationwide, the Mission Clubhouse is one of a number of Clubs leading the way in sustainable building operations and LEED certification. The Club also utilizes the renovated building's sustainable features as educational tools to teach our future generations about renewable energy, waste and recycling, energy efficiency and their importance to our planet.
Notable features include:
- 100% passive (zero mechanical) cooling by means of natural ventilation
- Radiant floor heating
- 25 kW solar photovoltaic array
- 85% less energy usage compared to similar U.S. buildings
- 42% less water usage compared to U.S. baseline
- 62.5% materials recycled annually

LASD parcel tax passing narrowly

As a person without kids how would I know if I live in the district in question? Some kids go to this school, some kids go to that school. I read about kids having to travel accross town when there are schools closer to where they live, make no sense and the poeple asking for the money never spelled out who percisly takes the hit.
on May 4, 2011 at 3:00 pm
If you're a registered voter and you got the ballot in the mail then you're in that district. If you didn't get the ballot then you're not.
If you're in Castro City then you're not in that district.
on May 4, 2011 at 6:40 pm
As of 5pm today, the updated results show that the measure is passing by a mere 0.09 percent. That is one extremely thin margin. Next update at 5pm on Friday. LASD should at least now realize that a lot of people are not pleased with their fiscal performance.
Is time for a Prop 218 ballot petition to try and overturn the existing $597 parcel tax? Ron, I'm ready to sign it.

LINCOLN – Mike Theroux doesn't have to go too far back in his memory bank to recall the first time he went for a run.
That's because it occurred just six years ago for the 47-year-old Lincoln resident.
"I ran from my house to Lincoln High School and back," he said. "It was about a three-mile run. At the time I was happy I was actually doing it, but it was amazing how much that run took out of me."
Theroux will be running three miles again tomorrow. Only this time, he'll still have 23 more before he reaches his final destination.
WOONSOCKET – The only bidder for a historic building at the center of a thorny dispute between the city and the state preservation authority has a familiar name.
It's state Rep. Lisa Baldelli-Hunt (D-Woonsocket).
CUMBERLAND -- Tracy Fay, owner of Lizzy's Enchanted Creamery, has had her share of ups and downs.
SMITHFIELD – Cumberland High survived injuries to its starting pitcher and catcher on Friday to outlast Smithfield 6-5 in eight innings.
"This was a great team effort," Cumberland coach Paul Murphy admitted. "Our starting pitcher, Hayden Namaka, hurt his hand and left in the third inning. Eric Murray, who had pitched only one inning this season, took over and gave us five good innings. And then our catcher, Matt Billington, got hurt and we replaced him with Matt Bare in the fourth inning."
Doris M. Demers
HUDSON, FL- Demers, Doris M., 80, of Hudson, FL passed away on April 12, 2011.
She is survived by her loving husband whom she was married to for 55 years, Leland S. Demers; sons Kevin Demers & Michael Demers and his wife Jeanette; daughter Sandra Jackson and her husband Gary; grandchildren Tanya, K.C., Kamber, Adam, Nicholas, Kolby; great-grandchildren Timothy & Dylan; sisters Yvette Bosma & Rita Byron. Doris was predeceased by her son Rodney Lewis.
Doris was born in Uxbridge, Mass and moved to FL in 1981.
PROVIDENCE — There were some dramatic changes in the bid picture as the parties vying to buy Landmark Medical Center began making their sales pitches in Superior Court yesterday.
The original pool of contenders for both Landmark and its sister facility, the Rehabilitation Hospital of Rhode Island, was pared down from four to three, as Capella Health Care of Tennessee withdrew.
Irene Hood
WOONSOCKET- Irene (Sjoblom) Hood, 92, of Cumberland Hill Rd, died Sunday, April 10, 2011 in Oakland Grove Health Care Center. She was the wife of the late Earl W. Hood.
Born in Woonsocket, she was the daughter of the late Axel A. and Sophie (Anderson) Sjoblom.
She lived in Woonsocket for most of her life before moving to No. Smithfield in 2000.
Mrs. Hood worked twenty-three years as a Packer for the former Uniroyal Company, Woonsocket, retiring in 1970. She was a member of St. Mark Lutheran Church and the Golden Heart Seniors.
Sister Estelle Lamothe
SAINT-HYACINTHE- Sister Estelle Lamothe of the congregation of the Sisters of Charity of Saint-Hyacinthe passed away on April 13th, 2011 at the age of 88. She was the daughter of Wilfrid Lamothe and Agathe Fortin.
She was born in Providence, R.I on July 11, 1922.
PROVIDENCE — Union firefighters from Woonsocket yesterday lost their bid in Superior Court to block Mayor Leo T. Fontaine from sidelining one of the city's two ladder trucks in a belt-tightening move.
Judge Bennett Gallo said Local 732 of the International Association of Fire Fighters had failed to prove that the reduction in apparatus put firefighters or the general public at an increased risk of danger, as the union had argued.
The problem with Red Sox fans is they don't know how to deal with slow starts. During the Terry Francona Era, their favorite team has never been worse than 28-24 on June 1. That mediocre beginning, which looks downright red-hot compared to this season's 2-9 start, occurred in 2005. Yes, Boston rebounded to make the playoffs that year, bowing to eventual champion Chicago White Sox in the Division Series.

Portland gets: Suns get: Warriors get:
Nash, Childres, Ellis Camby, Miller Batum, Fernandez, Babbit, Williams, cash, draft picks
This is the most likely trade if Portland gets Ellis. The suns want build for the future now, they will trade Nash to for expiring contracts. You're probably like what Childres, the Suns made an error by signing him to a 35 million contract for 5 years that didn't turn out so good for them, so if we take him and they will be happy. The Blazers get a point guard that can run with Ellis and Aldrige and even Wallace ruining the team. If its true that the Warriors want to build around defensive minded guys like Batum this is the perfect trade, he is only like 22 years old. This trade will get us to the finals. We would be better than the Heat, Lakers, Anyone.
What a line up:
PG, Nash
SG, Ellis
SF, Wallace
PF, Aldrige
C, Oden
PG, Mathews, Mills and Armond
SG, BRoy, Mathews
SF, Chilldres
PF, Chris Jhonson, sign Pendegraph
C, Sign veterans
Mathews will not start but in one two years max Nash retires he gets the job as SG and Ellis our PG.
It's a good trade it wont make our bench weak because Mathews can play a Jason Terry role, 30-35 minutes a game.

I don't care how many wins Jim Boeheim has. His head should not appear connected to a non-Jim Boeheim body. These fans can still redeem themselves, however, if ESPN catches one of them in a nose-picking situation.

Staff Writer
---- — MANCHESTER —Manchester Essex Regional School officials are taking a look and adjusting policies after a report by an accounting firm found the district's student activity accounts thousands of dollars in the red — and some funds unaccounted for.
The report by Powers and Sullivan LLC, based in Wakefield, was sought to check the district's compliance with a state law regarding how student activity accounts are handled, spent and accounted for, according to the accounting consultants..
Student activity accounts are funded by user fees from sports, fundraising and other means not included as revenues within the school budget.
The firm tested transactions to see if receipts were being processed in line with district procedures, recorded accurately and handled in accordance with state law.
Yet the Manchester Memorial School has three student activity accounts with a total deficit of $5,049, while the middle-high school has student activity accounts with a deficit of $1,472.
In its review of 28 transactions, the firm could not tell where two Manchester Essex Regional High School student activity expenditures totaling $2,951 came from. Scholarships are also considered a student activity, which help offset the costs associated with the participation of at-need students, according to the report.
In the 28 transaction sample, two merit based scholarships were paid from Essex Elementary School and the Manchester Essex Middle High School to student activity funds.
But the accounting firm indicated that scholarships would be considered as gifts for educational purposes under state law. Powers and Sullivan recommended the district record educational scholarships in a separate account, as state law requires for gifts and grants.
Powers and Sullivan also noted that the amounts spent and the actual money leaving the accounts from both elementary schools are not turned over to the director of finance and operations or the district's treasurer in a timely or consistent manner.
The firm recommends reconciliations are completed and reviewed on a monthly basis for review and approval.
The accounting firm noted in the report the district also does not have a consistent practice of maintaining documentation for receipts; there are also no procedures in place at either elementary school to ensure receipts are being deposited in a timely manner.
According to the report, the middle high school deposits are done at least on a weekly basis; the accounting firm recommended the elementary school receipts be deposited at least once a week as well.
"We recommend that the district discontinue reimbursing the student activity checking accounts until adequate supporting documentation has been provided to the director of finance and operations," the report reads.
That finance and operations director, Avi Urbas, said Monday that some policies have already changed while other chanegs are in the works.
The district recently updated their standard operating procedures, and it will be updated again to include recommendations by Powers and Sullivan, Urbas wrote in an email to the Times. The district has not yet identified the reason for the account deficits.
Officials can review each schools accounting remotely with recently installed software, and there have been some instances were accounting practices need to be improved.
"I will be looking into the reasons for these deficits to determine the cause," Urbas wrote. "This could simply be an example of costs being charged to the wrong account, but I will not know for certain until I look into the matter further."
Urbas attributed the unaccounted funds to a likely miscommunication between the accounting firm and the district. Student planners cost $1,775 and the district was reimbursed; it was unaccounted for, he said, because the expense came from a different account and the high school did not have the documentation handy.
The remaining $1,175, for Green Team purchases, was paid back in September, Urbas said, but the purchases came at a time where the district changed its policy by making invoices being reviewed the the School Committee. The transaction occurred before the new procedure was in place.
"It sounds like this may have been a one-time exception," Urbas wrote, adding the inclusion in the report was helpful.
Urbas also noted $257 in interest was used from interest earnings was spent on non administrative costs. He wrote the costs were for approved student activities, but the charges should have been expended from a different account.
The district also plans to move scholarship fundraising from the student activities account to a different account.
The fiscal report covered the period from July 1, 2012 — the start of the current fiscal year — through March 31 of this year.
From the School Committee's perspective, the report was a step in the right direction after the district made some student activity account changes last year.
Committee chairman Linda Crosby said the district was eager to do the financial review after some policies were changed last year, adding the district reached out to have the report completed.
She said the committee never perceived any unaccounted funds or deficits as stolen or fraudulent.
"We thought the report was a positive step," she said Monday. "It was an area we wanted to improve upon, and we have some new goals."

Over the next three months there will be a whole lot of conversation about the draft. I realize there will be numerous FanPosts and FanShots about the topic, but it seems like having a central Draft thread could be useful as well (thanks to Rishi for the suggestion!).
I don't want this to discourage FanPosts and FanShots, and it's entirely possible this will be a useless thread (for which I'll place equal blame on Rischi!). Rather, FanPosts, as always, are more meant to flesh out specific sub-topics in better depth. For example, if you want to go into detailed analysis of 3-4 defensive ends and outside linebackers that's fine. Additionally, I'll obviously have numerous specific threads related to the draft and everything it encompasses (Senior Bowl, Combine, scouting reports, etc.).
When deciding if your thought is worthy of a separate FanPost, just figure out if it's something you can flesh out in a little bit of depth (as opposed to just a few sentences). For example, if you want people to submit their 49ers mock drafts, include your own mock draft. If you are just curious what day the Senior Bowl is (January 24), it might be better in the general thread. I'd say just use your best judgment as to whether a topic is worth posting in a FanPost. And if you really want some clarification, feel free to throw a comment in this thread or email me at email@example.com.
Also, as this thread will involve a million different subtopics, it is essential that people remember to use the Reply function so as not to create confusion. For those who don't know how that works: if you see a comment you want to reply to, just below it on the line with the person's username is a button that says "reply."


text: The Bears other 7th rounder Aaron Brant, an Offensive Lineman from Iowa State, signed his contract today. He was a four year starter with the Cyclones who was mostly a Right Tackle, but did play some guard as a Freshman. He has real good size at 6'7'' and the NFL.com prospect profile describes him as being "athletic" for his size. Seems like a steal for a seventh rounder and cannot be any worse than Metcalf if Tait goes down.

Choosing the right TV can be tough. Finding a decent stand to put it on, and then speakers that make it rock can be downright painful. Evesham's Sound Stage X1 is a nice, refreshingly simple solution to that home theater conundrum. The glossy black stand has the legs to hold some serious screen and enough shelf room for plenty of shiny components. But the real kicker on this item (pun intended) is the built in surround-sound. The stand has nine integrated speakers:
The unit is plug and play, meaning no wires to run or drywall to punch, and it achieves a surround-sound effect by bouncing sound off your walls. True, there are other products out there using this faux-surround strategy, but this is the first one I've seen that hides it so well.
Price: around $600 and available now.

Malchish Kibalchish
Last year at this time, Jess in Ukraine intercepted a bunch of prints from their path to the trash after her Ukrainian school decided to get rid of them. She was kind enough to give me one as a gift during my visit. I chose the one below because of its awesome color and the amazing artistry in the chains and lighting.
I knew it was about the youth army, but could only speculate as to the true story behind the prints. UNTIL NOW. This morning I got an e-mail. Jess in Ukraine was talking to her language teacher and got the whole story behind her collection of salvaged prints!
Here we go:
Malchish Kibalchish was a little Soviet boy like any other. He worked at home with his family. He took joy in his play and worked steadfast through his chores. One day a man on a white horse came into town. He announced that he was forming a people's army to help defeat the German Army. Malchish Kibalchish watched as the town gathered together its fathers, uncles, and elder brothers and sent them off with the man on the white horse.
The seasons wore on and the day came when the man on the white horse returned to Malchish's village. The man was visibly tired and worn but held his head high. His horse's tired gait betrayed the struggles on the front line.
His torn clothes hanging wearily from his shoulders, the man announced that they were doing well but needed more support. He asked for the help of the able elder men of the town. Malchish watched as the man on the white horse led his village's able grandfathers and seniors off to war.
With much of his family off at war, Malchish Kibalchish had taken on a greater role at the household. His hopes of seeing his family's quick return faded when he saw the man return one more time to his village. Now without a horse, the man struggled to walk forward. He brought news of near victory, but pleaded for more help.
Malchish Kibalchish stepped up proudly "Come on young boys. We have been helping everyone at home the whole time our fathers, uncles and grandfathers went off to fight and now it is our time."
Malchish and the young privateers headed off with the man and began their fight on the lines. The Fascists were falling under the renewed spirit of the Soviet army.
This is where his arch enemy comes in. Jess remembered his name as Malchish Spalchish. He was a fat and spoiled son of a fascist. The fascists tell Spalchish that they will give him barrels of candy and soda if he will tell them where Kibalchish has his headquarters.
Spalchish accepts his role as traitor and readily tells them. The Fascists find and capture Kibalchish. They chain him up and torture him, demanding the secrets of the Red Army. Malchish remains stoic in his refusal to speak.
The Germans kill him.
There is a monument and a ship named after Malchish Kibalchish. All of the Young Pioneers go to his monument when they are officially sworn in to salute Malchish Kibalchish, the most loyal and bravest Young Pioneer.
I'll try and get photos of some of the other prints that Jess got her hands on so that we can see more pictures from the story. Special thanks to Jess for the new information!
The Ukraine print is Framed! Darcy helped me choose a pretty sweetly oppressive frame and matting choice for the print I got from Ukraine. Check it out!
I hung it in my cubical. While it won't stay on this wall forever, I thought it might be fun to see what sort of reaction my new print gets from my coworkers.
Ukraine. Part 15.
January 6th, 2009 – Day 9
What an incredible day of sightseeing. At about 9am, Jess, Inna, and I left for Kiev. I wasn't sure what we were going to see first, but I was pleasantly surprised when we showed up at a totally intense monument.
During WWII Ukraine was a common location for intense battles because Poland borders Ukraine to the west. At this point, Ukraine was part of the Soviet Union. After the war a huge monument was erected in honor of the soldiers.
We approached the monument via a long path. Snow bordered the wide stairs. It was extremely cold outside and the wind was relentless. On one side of the path were speakers that played patriot Ukrainian hymns. It was awesome. To get to Rodina Mat ("Mother Motherland" or… "Mother Russia") we traveled through an open concrete structure. On either side of the path were huge statues depicting strong stoic men and women preparing for and engaging in acts of war. Snow had nestled in between the folds of their clothes. Tragically, my camera broke just as we reached the monument. Thankfully Jess agreed to let me use her photos. All the following photos were taken by Jess on a previous trip (hence the lack of snow).
Once through the hall of statues, we reached the main event. There stood the 200ft tall Rodina Mat in all her glory. In her left hand she held a shield and in her right hand she held a sword. She's made out of metal and was total righteous.
After seeing some tanks and helicopters we continued onward. Next up was a memorial for the Holodomor (the starvation plague, more about this later). This particular monument was very beautifully symbolic. A tall white rectangular pillar reached upwards. Around it were four large crosses made from hundred of vertical and horizontal stakes. The stakes pierced through birds that were at different stages of flight.
The next monument in the row was an obelisk in honor of the Unknown Soldier. At the bottom was a metal wreath with a flame burning in its center. After the monuments we went to the historic street in Kiev. The street was a steep cobble stone street that wound up to a church. Along each side of the road were small vendors selling their goods. I bought a few gifts and we worked our way onward.
The final stop on our day tour were two epic churches. St. Sophia and St…. Peters I think?.
Overall, an amazing day in Ukraine.
Let's look at the Ukrainian language. I've learned a handful of words while here:
Dyakayoo – Thank you
Tak – Yes
Nee – No
Perushkey – tasty sweet bread with filling
Marushkah – a bus or shuttle that holds about 15-18 people
Borscht – a really great beet stew
Verenikey – a dumpling, usually sweet
Chi – tea
Smachno – It is delicious
Nahmyah – No one is here
Dva – two
Znovvum Rrrokum – Happy New Year!
The alphabet is pretty unusual. Unlike Chinese, where the characters are so unique from the English language that it's impossible to relate to, the Ukrainians use Cryllic which has an alphabet that, at first glance, looks similar to English. Here are the cryllic letters along with the sounds for each letter bolded. There are 33 letters.
Й-e(not soft)
Ð -rice
I don't really know why there's a letter that's always silent, but I'm cool with it. Anyway, using the alphabet above the proper spelling of Altynivka is:
And the spelling of Kiev is:
Using this, it should really be pronounced Keeve instead of Key-ev.
Here's a beautiful print I got in Kiev with the proper spelling of the city. I really love this print.
Ukraine. Part 14.
January 5th, 2009 – Day 8
This morning Jess and I got up at 4:30am and started our trip back to Kiev. We'll spend most of today traveling. Tonight we stay with Slytvana. Tomorrow we'll explore Kiev and then I depart on Tuesday.
The trip from Altynivka to Kozelets took forever. I have my big roller luggage and OH man was that a terrible idea. Dragging it through the snow has been torturous. The travel went like this. First we walked through the snow for about 30 minutes to get to the train station. There's a 3-4 hour train ride from Altynivka's train station into Kiev. Once in Kiev, we navigated the metro (not fun with a roller suitcase) and then walked for about 10 minutes to get to the marushka (bus). The bus ride is about 90 minutes or so. It dropped us in downtown Kozelets and then we had another 30 minute walk through the snow before reaching the house. Especially hilarious is that each transition requires about 50 stairs. And since Ukraine hasn't discovered ramps yet, my roller suitcase was extra fun.
BUT! Now we're here at Slytvana's and Lord knows it smells good. I'm not sure what Slytvana is cooking for dinner but I'm certain it will be delicious. I think we're just going to hang out here tonight, though I'm not certain. I wouldn't be opposed to this idea, because lugging around this bag has left me rather sore. If Alicia and Dwane visit Jess I will have to tell them to bring backpacks.
So far for this whole visit I have spent 110 of the local hryvnia. That's about eighteen US dollars. Tomorrow I'll spend a lot more because we are going shopping in Kiev. Jess guesses that the local non-city worker earns about 1000 hryvnia a month. That equates to just under two thousand USD a year.
The food was totally good. We started with a green borscht. It had some greens, onions, potatoes, egg, and broth in it. That was followed with a rice dish that tasted a lot like the filling in those stuffed cabbage that I love. Then we had tea and chocolates. That was lunch. Dinner was a crazy crepe like something that was served with a chocolate sauce. Then we had pizza which was far far better than any pizza I've ever made. The pizza was topped with various kielbasas and vegetables. Finally more tea and compote. What a feast!
Check out the Feature today. It talks a bit about the Ukrainian language.
Ukraine. Part 13.
January 4th, 2009 – Day 7
Today was a much needed day of relaxation. I spent much of the morning just hanging out and tending the fire to try and warm the house up. It's now 60 degrees and much more comfortable. In about an hour, the English club will be getting together. I prepared some U.S. trivia questions and Jess has made sugar cookies and more 'brownies.' It should be fun, I really like spending time with the kids here, there's never any pressure to drink and they speak a bit more English than the adults do. Afterwards we may, or may not head to Larissa's for food. Tonight's my final night in Altynivka.
The English party was totally fun. Six kids showed up: Vira, Julia, Julia, Nastia, another Vira, and a little dude who I hadn't met before. They seemed to really enjoy the trivia and did a good job coming up with answers. After they answered my trivia, they asked Jess and I to answer Ukrainian trivia.
Here are a few of the questions they asked, how much do you know about Ukraine?
1. Who's the president of Ukraine? (you might be able to get this, he was in the news something fierce a few years back)
2. What is the biggest holiday in Ukraine?
3. How many oblasts (like provinces) does Ukraine have?
4. What two seas does Ukraine touch?
That night we did indeed head back to Larissa's for a meal. We had borscht and my favorite stuffed cabbage. Oh heavens… that was a freakishly delicious meal. After the meal, Vira gave me the two necklaces that she'd made for my sisters and Larissa gave me a traditional Ukrainian blanket, and a pillow case that was embroidered by her mother. It's beautiful. I was really touched, what a fantastically kind family they are.
Here's the pillow case with embroidery.
I bet you wish you had an… EXTREME EMBROIDERY CLOSE UP!

Ukraine. Part 12.
January 3rd, 2009 – Skiing
We skied out for about an hour and a half across flat beautiful landscapes.
I don't know how this happened.
Anatoliy led us across these vast landscapes to a giant birch tree forest. Anatoliy continuously encouraged us. As we walked through the forest, a horse drawn cart passed us in the other direction. Shortly thereafter we reached our destination: a little alcove in the woods where a wooden hut had been built. The people with the horse must have been using a fire because the burning embers remained.
Jess, Me, Anatoliy
What luck! Here we were in this most picturesque of places and there was a fire waiting for us. We warmed ourselves and then cooked some meat and bread that Jess had smartly packed. We dined and then, after a short snow ball fight, we started our return.
Warming up.
On the way back, the sun was setting over the vast landscape. It was beautiful. As we concluded our trip, the Moon and Venus were shining brightly above us.
After we got back and ate more food, we went to Larissa's place for showers. SHOWERS YES! Volodimir installed a pretty luxurious shower in their foyer. This isn't as strange as it sounds. The houses in Ukraine are all very small, presumably because small houses are a heck of a lot easier to heat. Had the family not put the shower in the foyer it would have had to have gone in the kitchen, dining room, or a bedroom. And the shower was separated from the rest of the foyer with tapestries. Anyway, the shower has a stereo, water jets, and hot water. Volodimir apparently had to install a pump in the well and a hot water heater in order to get this luxury. And I assure you, it was luxurious. After the shower, we had tea and chocolates. All was well.
Unfortunately, when we got back to the house it was freezing. I tried to start the fire and was terribly unsuccessful (it's much harder than one would expect). After struggling to keep it lit for over an hour Jess came in and worked her magic. The delay however resulted in a frigid 47 degree night of sleeping. That was decidedly my worst night of sleeping. So frigid!! Still though, between the pig, the cross country skiing, and the shower, the day was top notch. Even a 47 degree night couldn't put a damper on the day.
Special thanks to Anatoliy for this post's photographs. Awesome!
Ukraine. Part 11.
January 2nd, 2009 – Death of a Pig. Part II.
After the pig had been killed, Volodimir and the man dragged the pig to a more accessible area. There was surprisingly little blood. Apparently all the blood goes directly into the chest cavity. With the pig moved and laying stomach down, we went inside for a quick breakfast. Afterwards, the man returned outside and Volodimir and I followed. Volodimir filled a container with Benzene and then lit it. He used it as a torch. He went over the pig's body with the flame and a knife to get rid of all the hair.
At this point my never-get-dry feet had been reduced to icicles in the 14 degree cold so I politely excused myself. Jess tells me that the next step is to raise the pig onto a platform and cut open the pig. They carefully remove all the organs and the skin/fat which is cooked into that crunchy treat called 'salo.' Every part of the pig is used with the exception of the eyes and snout. Many of the body parts that aren't considered meat outright go into sausage and kielbasas.
When I got back to the house I took a nap and then we embarked on the next adventure of the day. Anatoliy, the peace corps dude, was going to take us cross country skiing. It took Jess and I WAY too much time to retrieve the cross country skis that were waiting for us at the school. But eventually we found ourselves with two sets of skis and we walked to Anatoliy's place.
After a quick snack we made our way outside. It had warmed to a comfortable 16 degrees and was perfect for skiing. The sky was clear and as we zipped along, I saw some of the most beautiful landscapes of the whole trip.
Anatolli at the start of our epic cross country skiing adventure
Tragically, my camera died at this point in the trip. Anatoliy and Jess took pictures however. Hopefully I'll be able to snag those pictures by tomorrow. If I can… oh man. Get ready for intensity.

Almost opaque dark brown with small beige head that quickly dissipates to a lace. Roasted malt smells with chocolate and toffee. The taste is more of dark fruit, with some coffee and a finish with some sourness alongside the expected sweet-bitter taste. A little fizzy. Overall it was a fairly mediocre interpretation of the style, and somewhat disappointing considering HH's excellent Pale Ale.

Great colour. Deep black tea with a tan head. The aroma is pretty thin but a definite hit of Creosote. Taste is rather watery but with a similar Creosote bite and some sort of coffee and licorice mix. There's also a weird sourness as well and this makes it hard to pinpoint what's going on. Quite carbonated and a bit spritzy. Not a bad beer but pretty expensive in Oz compared to say a James Squire Porter which is much better and about $7/6 pack cheaper. I could have bought Meantime porter for the same price and got a much better beer.

This pours dark brown with a reasonable beige head which drops away quickly.
A bit of malty dark chocolate on the nose.
Not impressed on the palate. A bit of chocolate but it is thin, bitter and astringent.
The carbonation is way to high for what I like in a porter.

3.55/5 rDev +16.8%
A: looked rich...appearance could have past as a stout except was a little too brown. couldnt see through, nice & heavy look, with an attractive 1 finger creamy & creamy coloured head. Head retention no good but fair lacing.
S: Coffee upfront, also some cocoa, Roasted malts, caramel, charcoal, dark chocolate & a fraction fruity...very smooth full aroma.
T: Dark Chocolate & some sour dark fruits, also some lolly bubblegum hints. Iron taste sensations (like blood). Roasted burnt notes, not as much coffee in taste compared to smell, & overall the taste lacked the aroma sadly. Had some bitterness but not overpowering...left some licorice on the palate, some nicotine sensations & like I have chewed on some wood.
M: A little watery, very carbonated, but did leave some coating across the palate.
D: This wasn't that bad, I could definately get a top up again, just didn't seem totally true to the porter style.

Dark chocolate brown in color it has a non exsitent head with no lacing.
Roast, burnt, chocolate malt...all the hallmarks of an English Porter. A little subdued yet enticing enough.
Palate mimics the aroma with chocolate and toasty grain flavours dominating. Some sweetness gives way to some toasty burnt bitterness.
Whilst the flavours are good the palate feels a little thin on the ground and is not helped by an overly carbonated mouthfeel. I am sure this helps accentuate the roasted bitterness but doesn't help the overall balance of the beer.
Not a bad drop, but better English Porters out there.

2.75/5 rDev -9.5%
Appearance - Black, 1 finger of beige head, average retention.
Smell - Pretty weak. Not much of the usual roasty malt odour.
Taste - The roasted malts are there, but this lacks the sweet chocolate taste of the best Australian porters. This also has an unpleasant taste in the background that is hard to describe.
Mouthfeel - A little thin for a porter.
Drinkability - Below average.
Overall - There are quite a few great Australian porters (the best of the lot being the amazing original Colonial Gully Washer Winter Ale). Sadly, this isn't one of them.

Dark caramel tan with a thin head. Unremarkable. Nose is very expressive and lifted with strong milk chocolate notes (maybe coco as well?); shows good intensity. Palate doesn't quite translate. Dry style, perhaps lacking some body, with hints of darker malts. Competent but lacks some excitement. A touch too much fizz.

This beer is dark teak in colour with not much light penetration. The head is foamy and off white and grey in colour.
There is a smell thta is hard to pinpoint maybe a bit of licorice in there.It was a bit of an in between smell , didnt know whether I liked it or not. The label claims that East Golding Hops are used so could it be this.
The flavour was a disappointment. I really wanted to like this , as it is a local brew but I couldnt help but think of Medallion Cough Medicine from my childhood.
Overall it was a let down , but I will try 1 more and see if it can vary

A - Very dark brown colour with a few centimetres of beige head that falls away quite quickly.
S - Roasted malt and bitter dark chocolate backed by some fruity esters.
T - WTF? Quite a sour bite up front backed up by some roasty chocolate notes. Now the sourness isn't that bar, just unexpected, but I don't think it's what the brewer was aiming for. If it was well then congrats and maybe mention it on the bottle.
M - Somewhat spritzy carbonation with a medium mouthfeel.
D - Alright but nothing special. Better porters out there.

WALLA WALLA, Wash. -- For the second time this season, a Whitman College senior from Walla Walla has been named Northwest Conference men's basketball Player of the Week.
Matt Kelly, a 6-foot-2 guard, scored 52 points and grabbed nine rebounds as Whitman split a pair of games at last week's White City Rose Classic in York, Penn. Kelly, who made nine of 18 three-point shots in the two games, also handed out four assists and collected four steals.
Erik Kofler, a 6-foot-8 center from Walla Walla, earned NWC Player of the Week honors in late November. Both Kelly and Kofler are graduates of Walla Walla High School. Kelly played his first two college seasons at Walla Walla Community College.
Kelly poured in 33 points, his career-high total at Whitman, in one of last week's games. That is the highest single-game point total posted by a NWC player thus far this season.
On Monday of this week, Kelly scored 21 points as Whitman improved to 5-4 on the season with a 78-74 victory at Pennsylvania's Swarthmore College. Kelly is averaging 19.6 points per game, which is tops in the NWC. He is shooting 49 percent from the floor and averaging 5.1 rebounds per game.
A year ago, Kelly led Whitman in scoring at 16.2 points per game, which ranked him fifth in the NWC. He earned All-NWC Honorable Mention recognition at season's end.
Whitman resumes NWC play this weekend with a pair of home games in Sherwood Center. The Missionaries, 1-1
in conference, host Lewis & Clark on Friday and Willamette on Saturday. Both games start at 8 p.m.

You might think that Justin Verlander owns the Detroit Tigers' single-game strikeout record. Or if not Verlander, then Denny McLain or Jack Morris or Mickey Lolich or Hal Newhouser. You know, one of the guys in the franchise's Pantheon.
Well, before Friday night you would have been right. Before Friday night, Mickey Lolich owned the franchise record for strikeouts in one game, with 16. Oh, and he did that twice within the space of a few weeks in 1969. Impressive!
And then along comes Anibal Sánchez. Friday night, in just his 17th start as a Tiger, Sánchez struck out 17 Braves. Oh, and he did that in only eight innings. Impressive!
Sánchez was pulled after throwing 121 pitches, thus missing a shot at the all-time record for strikeouts in a nine-inning game (20). Considering that 121 pitches is a considerable number and the Tigers were winning 10 to nothing, there was little to be gained from another inning of work.
As I said, impressive. But now that we've exited the Steroid Era, we seem to have entered Era K. And so we can expect to see more strikeout records fall this season. And next season, and every season thereafter until Major League Baseball and the Major League Baseball Players' Association decides that enough is enough and the fielders should get involved once in a while, too.

Three weeks after a Genesee County jury handed down a guilty verdict in the Daniel and Alisha Hall trial, the Halls have been sentenced to prison.
Jurors found Daniel Hall guilty of sexually abusing his six-month-old baby daughter, and his wife Alisha was convicted of taking pictures of the acts. The pair were found guilty on all charges against them, including first-degree criminal sexual conduct.
Now Daniel Hall will spend the rest of his life in prison and his wife was sentenced to 25 years.
In late October, Daniel Hall admitted to posing in sexual positions with his daughter, and his wife, Alisha, was accused of taking those photographs. However, Daniel testified he forced her to take the pictures.
During the investigation earlier this year, Mount Morris Police Chief Keith Becker says not only did investigators find more than a dozen images of Daniel Hall engaged in sexual acts with his own child, they also reportedly retrieved 5,000 to 8,000 pornographic images of other children. They aren't sure if the Halls took the pictures or simply downloaded them.
In a past court hearing, Daniel's attorney told Genesee District Judge Christopher Odette that Daniel believes he is a "prophet of God." He said Daniel believes he is in jail for religious purposes.

the 3.8 in my camaro now is dbw the 3.8 im installing is dbc what all do i have to do to convert it to dbw? can i just swap the throttle body? or should i just keep the dbc if so what do i do with the plugs that were in the dbw throttle body? there is also a small black round "thing" bolted to the intake that has a plug from the harness it also has vacume lines running to the fuel rail, what is this becouse on the other 3.8 it has one similar with no plug from harness just another vacume line so if im going to be able to swap throttle bodies can/should i swap these "things" too please help im not very wise about new model computer controlled engines all advise greatly appreciated thank you
Fuel pressure regulator or EGR valve is probably what you are seeing. Computer and everything is gonna be different from a dbc to dbw. I suggest you sell that L67 3800 and get something you can use. Just being honest. Check out the forum at 3800pro dot com.
See if you can get a service manual that covers both versions. Is one the Supercharged version? The last thing you want is to have the engine to go WOT.Bob
I have the 99 3.8 and the 2000 supercharged 3.8. both are complete with wiring harness. since the car was originally dbw, should I convert the engine to dbw or should I convert the car to dbc? either way how or what all do I have to convert over I kno im going to have to reprogram the computer but im lost on the rest. thanks

CATEGORIES Drama, RumorMonger, Newsstand, Remakes and Sequels, Movies, CinematicalDon't think you'll be washing that Twilight out of your hair by 2012! There's already a rumor going around about a big screen adaptation of the Twilight novella The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner in the works at Summit. What's Playing is reporting that an insider emailed, "It goes without saying Summit want to continue this franchise... Tanner is the one they're looking at post-Breaking Dawn... It's too early to talk casting, and everything we're hearing is just speculation or off a wish list, but I don't believe they plan on using the original actress, Jodelle Ferland, for the spin-off film. It's all about numbers and names -- you guys know that." WP passes this info on with a caveat that this tipster is "a first-time scooper" and to think of this as only a rumor but admits "it's too good not to print." Hey, we think so too!
In case you're not up on your Twilight tidbits, Tanner put in an appearance in Eclipse as a baby vamp who was supposed to be part of Victoria's army. Instead of fighting the Cullens, she was killed off in a most painful way by Jane (Dakota Fanning). Since this is a saga, you can read more -- way more -- about Bree at the Twilight wiki.
Interestingly enough, the names that the tipster threw out as part of the wish list for Bree were Chloe Moretz (Let Me In) and Dakota's little sister, Elle. Sounds like a little bit of wishful thinking as far as Moretz goes, since she seems to prefer big guns and gory bits instead of twee teens, but then again, this is all just speculation. (The photo above is Ferland as Bree Tanner inEclipse.)
Twilight author Stephenie Meyer's book The Host is also being adapted for film. Deadline New York's Mike Fleming reported in March that producer Steve Schwartz told him they were hoping to shoot the sci-fi film "in early 2011." Casting and pre-production began in April.
Have you read Bree Tanner? Do you think it would make a good Twilight spin-off? Does Meyer have more in store?

I know everyone has been waiting with baited breath (and what exactly is baited breath? What does one possibly bait breath with? Oxygen?) for an update from Christina and Cordy's little sister.
Well, the bad news is that we discovered the flaw in using zombies as an induction method. Zombies shamble. They take a long time to get where they're going. And so did this pregnancy. Christina went into labor at about 7:00 p.m. on Saturday night, and it wasn't until 4:00 p.m. on Sunday that little Miranda was brought into this world.
Miranda was 8 lbs. 6.9 oz. at birth, and 21.5″ in length, just beating out her older sister in both dimensions. (Cordy was 8 lbs 4 oz and 20.5″ in length). Cordy does, however, retain the title of "child with the biggest noggin around". Miranda also decided to split the differences in the gene pool with her older sister, and inherited my hair and skin tone, instead of Christina's.
Christina did need to have an epidural, but not until 12 hours of labor. However, this enabled Christina to successfully have a VBAC.
She'll have more to tell everyone in a day or two, once we get back from the hospital. We just wanted to get a quick update out there.

This has been quite successful each of the last two years, and I hope it gets people to ballgames they want to attend, and help for those who have extras.

This is for the series vs. the Astros, April 9-11, the Reds, April 13-15, and the Padres, April 16-17. If you are looking/selling for future homestands, please wait till that diary is posted.
I'll start -- I have the following tickets available (NOTE: THIS IS AN UPDATED LIST):
April 16 -- two bleachers, $30 each
If you'd like any (or all!) of those, use the link on the right sidebar to email me.
UPDATE [2007-3-30 11:44:48 by Al]: I will soon post (or add to this diary) ticket exchanges for the April 20-25 homestand.
UPDATE [2007-4-13 20:23:17 by Al]: I now have two more bleachers for Sunday 4/15, $30 each, if anyone's interested. - *** these tickets have now been sold. However, the two for Monday listed above are still available.

Bramley school extension opened
1:30pm Tuesday 7th January 2014 in News By Helen Morton, Senior Reporter
PARENTS, pupils, staff and councillors celebrated as a £1.67million extension was officially opened at Bramley Church of England Primary School.
The extension, which includes five new classrooms and an extension to the existing assembly hall, has been built to accommodate a rising local population. The school is expanding by 105 pupil places.
Building work has been ongoing at the school, in Bramley Lane, for the last six months.
Councillor Peter Edgar, Hampshire County Council's executive member for education, said: "The investment we have made to transform and expand this school will ensure that the local need for school places in the coming years can be met easily."
Across the county, the council is investing £165million in providing 8,000 additional primary school places.
Cllr Edgar said: "Our objective is to deliver quality education locally, that is to say, near to where children live and where parents want them to go to school.
"The quality of accommodation at this school is excellent. We are enormously grateful for the valuable contribution made by the school community."
Cllr Edgar, accompanied by Cllr Keith Chapman, executive member for culture and recreation, interim headteacher Lyn Downes, and other guests, made a speech praising the quality and spirit of the school before officially cutting the ribbon to mark the opening.
Guests, who also included The Reverend Arthur Botham, Area Dean of Basingstoke, were then given a guided tour.
Nicky Parker, chair of governors at the school, said: "My thanks to the construction team for creating such a great space for us.
"We are rightly very proud of our new facilities. I am also very grateful to the local authority for funding and supporting us with this project, and to parents for their patience during the build."

No doubt about it, that this may be the biggest fight since Mayweather-De La Hoya, and I was optimistic about this fight at the beginning but now, I'm not too sold on this fight breaking boxings all time PPV record. For one, it being showcased on Showtime and two, the build up on All Access doesen't seem to match what HBO's 24/7 did then. IMHO, All Access has been a good little piece to watch leading up to 9/14, but is it me, or does it not even come close to matching the Magic of Mayweather-De La Hoya lead up on 24/7? Two guys who generally had bad blood between one another that even shows to this day, with Mayweather's father stepping down from training Oscar for the fight, to Mayweather jr. whole bravado being able to connect just as much, if not even more than the cash cow and the fact that it was I think the FIRST show to give an in depth look at fighters lives and training camp and sort of gave boxing it's first reality series and new look. It was as if the stars and planets all aligned to make it as big as it was... And here we are now, new show, same format, Floyd being Floyd, and Canelo though he poses a great threat in this fight and has the looks to be a star, his aura doesn't outshine Mayweather's and he's still learning English to appeal to the U.S.A. audience. It just all seems to me, something that I've seen before in a fighter being built against Floyd. Now if something dramatic were to happen in this fight that would warrant a rematch, then I wouldn't even argue with the rematch doing numbers bigger than Mayweather-De La Hoya. It would be HUGE double time.
What do u guys on here think?
I also feel if maybe the Garcia-Matthysse had a show or piece behind it to better Promote it than just the fact that it's happening as a co feature, then I think that would help boost the numbers a bit more than it already has, with the "Hate em or Love em" attitude of Angel Garcia's real talk. So far I've hed crickets over there.

I think it will crack two million. The common fan is interested and the hardcore fans are there. I think the CBS beef with Time Warner is hurting possible sales. But we will see. ESPN keeps showing commercials for The One. It may not break the record but it will be highly successful. Showtime will gets its money back. Plus, the undercard is no joke. I would pay to see Danny and Lucas fight any day of the week. It is a great card all around so who knows but I know Vegas is buzzing like a bee. 13 more days!
