Henrico's Top Teachers – Lynne Norris
Deep Run H.S., Center for Information Technology
Years spent in the corporate world convinced Lynne Norris that what she really wanted to do wasn't crunching numbers or clawing her way through middle management.
"I had said for a number of years that if I could do anything and money wasn't an object, I would go teach high school," she recalls.
Eventually, though, she dropped the financial condition.
"I quit my job, went to get my teacher certification and haven't looked back," she says.
The decision was an easy one for Norris, who is in her third year as department chair of Deep Run High School's Center for Information Technology, which draws students from throughout the county. As a parent of two teenage sons herself – and as someone who found motivation from her high school teachers – there was little question where Norris wanted to be.
Deep Run's program engages students in cutting-edge technology, helping to prepare them for college and careers in the field or as engineers, among other paths. The program counts 100 students among its ranks, and Norris says each one demonstrates skills and knowledge that impress her each day.
"I tell my students that in many ways they're much smarter than I am, because they grew up with this [technology] and I didn't. It's part of who they are – they just take off and run with it."
Norris requires each of her tenth-graders to become the class's "consultant of the week" once, a role that asks them to become an expert on a new technology topic, then teach the class about it.
"Some of the topics they come up with are just amazing," she says.
She also created a senior "Capstone" course that exposes students to four topics (information technology management, database design, network security or game design), during its first nine weeks, then allows them to choose one, study it in depth and write a research paper about the topic.
Norris fully involves herself not only in the center and her classes, but the students and the school community as a whole.
"Students enter her classroom eager to learn in a professional atmosphere where they are given up-to-date opportunities to discover, research and learn about the latest advancements in technology," a colleague wrote in a nomination letter. "She serves on several committees, always volunteers for tickets sales, attends school events, speaks before community groups about the center and mentors new teachers in the center. She is also the advisor to the Computer Club and mentors girls in information technology. She must have a cape somewhere in her wardrobe."
To Norris, her students make the job enjoyable and rewarding. They also keep her honest. "Being real with the students is really important, because they know when you're not," she says. "Putting it out there when I make a mistake, or if I don't know an answer, I think they respect that. And because of those things they trust me.
"I love these kids and I tell them that regularly. I don't have to care about these kids, but I really do. I care how they're doing in all of their other classes and activities. They're really willing to open up and do lots of things when they realize that people really do care."

CCC seeks donations for food pantry
Citizen Staff Reports 11/12/2014
Commonwealth Catholic Charities is in desperate need of food donations for its community food pantry that serves the region's low-income families, according to officials with the Henrico-based nonprofit.
After moving into its new location this past summer, the agency has dedicated a larger space for the pantry but the shelves are practically empty.
"As we head into the holidays and the weather turns colder, the need for food becomes even more critical, but unfortunately our cupboards are nearly bare," said Jay Brown, the agency's director for the division of housing services. "Donations of food will allow us help provide." > Read more.

New York rap veteran Lil Kim has announced that she will be featured on Dr. Dre's long-awaited Detox album which is set to drop this fall.
Kim also said she has begun work on a follow-up to 2005's The Naked Truth.
"I am working on my album," said Lil Kim. "I'm gonna be dropping some singles soon. I'm not concentrated on dropping an album so soon, but I will be dropping singles. I'm doing a collaboration right now in the studio with Keri Hilson. I'm so excited! This is for her album though. So you might be hearing that song really soon. Shout out to Polow. I love you Polow. 'Cause he did the track, Polow Da Don. I'm gonna be working with a lot of great people on my album. Timbaland is someone I'm really close with. I'm on Dr. Dre's Detox album. I'm really excited about that one." (Hip Hop DX)
Earlier this month, Dre blamed working on other artists' projects for delaying Detox.
"It hasn't been a consistent thing with me," Dre revealed in an interview. "I'd be working on it, stop, do a couple of other albums, like for example, I was working on the record and had to stop and work with Eminem for like five or six months, get back in to it and in-between there's been Game and 50 and some of the artists like that I had to stop and work on. So it's been taking a long time but it hasn't been continuous work on that project so that's one of the reasons why it's been taking a long time but I'm in it right now, I feel it right now. Before this year, I felt I was doing it more out of obligation but right now, as in the end of last year, I really feel it. It's coming out of me and it's coming out of my heart and it'll definitely be out this year — I'm just trying to give everybody what they want and not give them this new word I came up with, it's called 'anticippointment.'" (All Hip Hop)
In June, Dr. Dre said he was hoping to drop his album in the fall.
"Absolutely, I'm leaving this event and heading right to the studio," Dre said from the 23rd ASCAP Awards when asked about a Detox release. "I'm getting it cracking and trying to put it out by the end of the fall. I'm trying to give everyone what they've been waiting for and make sure they're not disappointed. This it, that's all I'm doing. [The leaked 'Under Pressure' was] absolutely not [real.] I didn't get a chance to finish the record, the vocals are real rough, it's not blended right and there's not even a hook on the song. It's not done, the music's not done, it's just one of those things we have to deal with today in this business because of technology and all of that. It's real easy for somebody to steal your sh*t so what can you do?" (Hard Knock TV)
Radio personality DJ Skee recently spoke with SOHH and talked about the buzz behind Detox.
"Well according to Scott [Storch] and a a bunch of other people, it's close to being done," Skee told SOHH. "But Scott's kinda jumping it, just because they have a few more records left probably means they gotta record a couple hundred more just to make Dre happy. Dre is the ultimate perfectionist and he should be, you know, he hasn't released his own solo album in years and it seems like he doesn't have to make any more money or do anything else but because of the Beats by Dre [headphones], it kinda put him back in the national mainstream limelight and I think where hip-hop is at today, by him actually having records that he's happy with, I think it might realistically have a chance of coming out later this year, we'll see. I wouldn't be surprised if it came out this year. I wouldn't be surprised if it 'didn't' [laughs], but at the same time I actually think it is realistic but with Beats by Dre and all these other [ventures], it's almost pushing him, like, people are ready and people have been ready but now it's even on another level. I just can't wait to hear what his album is gonna sound like in all those headphones, too…" (SOHH)

Undergraduate Courses at Bangor University
Biology covers both the unity and diversity of living organisms. You will be able to develop interests in plant and animal science and receive a thorough grounding in cell and molecular biology, as well as access modules as diverse as marine ecology and medical genetics.
Evolutionary, ecological and environmental aspects are strongly emphasised and there is opportunity to follow applied aspects of biology and to learn about fundamental biological processes and mechanisms. Extensive use is made of the exceptional range of local terrestrial and aquatic habitats during field courses and practical classes. We are unusual among British Universities in having our own botanical gardens with various habitats for biological studies. We are also part of the Environment Centre Wales which is a partnership venture between Bangor University and the Natural Environment Research Council's Centre for Ecology & Hydrology (CEH).
You will receive training that covers the biology of plants and animals – from their molecular biology to their function in natural communities. We provide a diversity of laboratory and field biology experience, enabling you to acquire transferable skills (data analysis, group work, writing and presentational skills, IT skills). Biologists are able to choose from a variety of modules across the School making it possible to specialise in different aspects of Biology depending on individual preferences. Possibilities range from plant diversity and ecosystem functioning through to whole-organism studies down to molecules and cells, with consideration of animal/plant form and function. We also offer modules on human health and disease and enable students to undertake field work.
Please see the Master in Biology page for information on the 4 year MBiol course.
Biologists pursue a range of careers from being environmental consultants to working in research and development, the health service and further education.
For more on studying degree courses see our Study at Bangor section.
Students on this Biology course are required to take 120 credits each year made up of lectures, practicals and interactive exercises, as well as field trips and tutorials in years 1 and 2. The final year includes an Integrated Research Project, supervised by a staff member on a subject of interest. Modules become more specialised as the degree progresses and the number of compulsory modules varies between years. Assessment is by a mixture of formal examination and continuous assessment. Welsh medium modules are also available.
The number of credits is given in brackets after the name of each module. Some modules will include lectures, practicals and interactive exercises. Students taking the Biology degree have a wide choice of optional modules.
Please see the Master in Biology page for information on the 4 year MBiol course.
The first year is a general year for all of our biology related degrees, which will introduce three broad and very important aspects of modern biology. Students are required to take four compulsory lecture modules, one module in key skills and one practical module. In addition there are tutorials with individual members of staff.
Compulsory modules:
Organismal Diversity (20): The module will present an overview of basic classification, form and function of the major groups of living organisms.
Ecology & Evolution (20): Ecology is about understanding the dynamic changes in individuals, populations, communities and ecosystems in relation to each other and the physical environment, and understanding their evolutionary processes.
Cellular and Molecular Biology (20): This module will cover the chemistry of life, the molecular basis of inheritance and important aspects of cell biology, such as structure and function.
Biology Practical Module (20): Students will undertake a range of practicals from molecular and cell biology, through to animal function and ecology. Field work is included. The practicals will coincide with the appropriate subject area in the lecture modules.
Introduction to Microbiology (10): The module will introduce students to prokaryotic and eukaryotic micro-organisms by outlining their characteristics and structures.
Research Skills (20): The module is aimed at developing a range of skills commonly used by natural scientists, including basic mathematical manipulation, data interpretation, and presentation, experimental design and statistical analysis, IT skills and effective use of the literature.
Tutorials (degree specific) (10): Tutorials will be held by individual members of staff to groups of 6-7 students and involve discussions that are degree specific. Tutorials will develop communication skills.
In the second year you will extend and deepen your understanding of biology by specialising in animal and plant diversity and function, and learning about the importance of molecular and cellular processes. There are four compulsory modules incorporating both lectures and practicals. You can choose 40 credits of optional modules.
Compulsory modules:
Optional modules:
Choose 40 credits from:
Year 3
The third year includes a major project that may be experimental or take the form of a Literature Review, which is supervised by a member of staff on a subject to suit your interests. Students take 60 to 80 credits of optional modules.

I think that makes sense. They paid for a quality pen, and they'll stick with it to see how far it'll take them. Jansen, Wilson, League, Howell, etc. could have been solid, but it hasn't worked out like they hoped. Mattingly's doing the only thing you can do, which is keep throwing them out there looking for something to take shape. They can still bring new in, but it's not like there are lots of great options that are any more solid than what they've got. They may not want to pay much more than they're already paying, or give up much either.
To win it all, everything has to come together in a season, and at the right time. It's nice when Sept. comes along, and it's just baseball. No more everyone's a GM making round-the-clock fantasy deals or managing the farm. It comes down to just rooting for the team we got.

.30 cent test for pancreatic, lung and ovarian cancersSubmitted by doctor011 on Sat, 02/09/2013 - 01:24
http://youtu.be/r55a0FapF2M WOW!!!! Andraka's sensor costs $3.00 and 10 tests can be performed per strip, taking 5 minutes each. The method is 168 times faster, 26,667 times less expensive, and 400 times more sensitive than ELISA, and 25% to 50% more accurate than the CA10-9 test.[6]

This is basically for pancreatic cancer? It would be wonderful if it can be altered to detect other types also.
Ovarian cancer is sneaky.. it has a lot of symptoms that mimic normal body feeling.. tired legs? upset stomach? bloated? and that whole time when your doctor is poo-pooing your complaints you are being wrapped in a strangle hold of death.
My sister had a huge palpable tumor in her abdomen that was passed on as a harmless lyphoma. By the time her abdomen was so swollen with fluid she could barely breath and her Kaiser doctor decided a CA-125 could be "authorized" her level came back in the range of 1400+ range.. normal is less than 35.
Even after they did horrific surgery and chemo her levels never went down below 1000 because of course the cancer had become metastatic. through out the surgery site and beyond. She died bravely just a year after being improperly diagnosed.
Doctors don't like to do the CA-125 marker test... ooo too much risk of possible false positives!!! Women have weird physiology and those blood tests are expensive!! not to mention following up a possible false positive with something like a T-V ultrasound.. ooo those pesky women. Because I'm a close relative of an ovarian cancer non-survivor I can get the Ca-125 without much fuss. My doctor is a woman and maybe that helps. I argued this many times with the male doctors I worked with and each time it came back to the possibility of false positives. They paid little attention to my telling them she would have endured a dozen false positives in exchange for her life. She was 40 years old. Happily my levels are in the 9-10 levels.
This remarkable boy's study is amazing.. I hope he does follow up with adjusting it for other cancer forms then I will really cheer!

Daniela is a great guide and took us to places we would never have found by ourselves. Really good tour and highly recomended
Excellent tour! Daniella was a brilliant guide. She was very friendly and informative. This tour is great value - we didn't expect so much food. Do yourself a favour and do this tour at the start of your stay in Rome so you can go back to the places you visit.
Guide was very good. This was one of the best parts of our stay in Rome. Highly recommended.
Wonderful tour! One of our favorites!!! Great tastings and wonderful tour guide! Would definitely do this one again!
Excellent tour
Fabulous tour. Had an absolutely wonderful day. Lots of amazing food, and gained a real insight into some of Rome's lesser known history.
Informative tour guide combined knowledge of history, culture, and food expertise to provide an enjoyable and delicious experience.
So informative And so much beautiful food!! Flavorio? (Our guide) was fantastic!! Thank you
So much fun going through those three areas. The guide was very friendly, and the tour was very informative. We will never forget this amazing experience.
Awesome tour! Our tour guide was great. She was very knowledgeable and sweet. We sampled considerably more food than expected and all the food was excellent.
Brilliant! Well worth it, and loads of bits of history too.
This tour was amazing, the knowledge and professionalism is outstanding. I would highly recommend this tour
Beautiful experience. We sampled great food and met some great people.
Our guide Francesca was wonderful. She loves what she does and loves the city of Rome. Because of the holiday we visited a non-Kosher restaurant in the old Jewish quarter (Ghetto) but the food was very good and it was most enjoyable. The Pizza, the Pasta, the buffalo mozzarella and the Gelato were great. The entire tour went beyond our fondest expectations. Please give Francesca and your group our thanks.
This tour was amazing!

Australian Open '14 Set Up For Fun Weekend Finish
Two-time champion Greg Chalmers has awakened (again) and leads heading into Australian Open weekend play. Martin Blake has the full story and details on lurkers McIlroy, Spieth, Scott, et. al. There are 16 players within five shots of the lead.
Speaking of Spieth, the first round leader didn't sound too thrilled to have his ball stepped on for the third timet his year, prompting a drop into a bad lie. Mark Hayes with his story.
Two of Chalmers' closest pursuers are Todd Sinnott and Geoff Drakeford, Aussies who hit it a mile. Mike Clayton has tracked their progress and tells us about the two bombers who will be chasing the shorter-hitting Chalmers.
While the course isn't nearly as compelling as the sandbelt golf we saw last week, the leaderboard and diverse set of characters should help. As should the Open Championship qualifying, which gives three spots to the leading players not already exempt into The Open. You can follow that thanks to the official website's use of Open logos next to those already exempt.
Golf Channel shows the weekend rounds live starting at 8 pm. ET.
**Chalmers nearly made a hole-in-one for the ages during round two.

Funny old joke.
On January 1st of 2013, this girl's phone was stolen. Thanks to the Apple cloud, she receives all the thief's photos in her stream. Apparently, he takes a lot of selfies…so she decided to reenact some of them throughout the year.
I am not into girls who have tattoos all over their bodies, but this girl looks pretty.
After three surgeries and three years of treatment this girl has a perfect smile.
All you need are makeup and photoshop.
This Chinese girl walked out of the terrible crash completely unharmed.

Bandit brandishing knife holds up Lakeport market
LACONIA — Police continue to investigate an armed robbery that occurred at the P&P Market on Elm Street Sunday afternoon.
Police said that at 3:57 p.m. a while male with a light brown goatee entered the store wielding a 10-inch fixed-blade knife. He demanded and received an undisclosed amount of money.
Police released three photos of the man to the media yesterday that were obtained from the video surveillance cameras in the market.
The bandit is described as wearing a brown hooded-sweatshirt with a red T-shirt underneath, a black coat, blue jeans, and white sneakers. Police said he is about 35-years-old.
Anyone with any information is asked to call the Laconia Police at 524-5252 or the Greater Laconia Crime Line at 524-1717.

Budget Committee endorses Gilford Fire Department plan as proposed
GILFORD — In a nearly 180-degree turnaround from last year's discussions, the Budget Committee last week endorsed without much comment the recommended Fire Department budget for 2014 of $1,682,083.
The total proposed budget is $21,491 or 1.3 percent higher than last year, most of which is reflected by a 3-percent raise for staff and the replacement of some protective clothing for firefighters that Chief Steve Carrier said is replaced every seven years.
The operations portion of the proposed 2014 budget is down about 3.3 percent or $6,300. Carrier said he had reconfigured his call roster to try and keep overtime down. Overtime represents about 16 percent of the wage line.
Carrier said he didn't anticipate any major equipment purchases except the purchase of a new ambulance that is part of the town's overall Capital Improvement Program budget and will appear as a separate warrant article. The ambulance is expected to cost $205,000 — all of which will come from the ambulance revenue account except $59,000 that is in an old capital reserve ambulance account.
He is also asking for a "rehab" of Engine 2. Carrier said he wanted to stay away from the work "refurbishment" because the "rehab" is not a complete overhaul but is painting the truck, adding an updated light bar, and possibly replacing the radiator.
Carrier noted the Engine 4 — the subject of so much controversy during last year's budget-building cycle — is operating well and can be used as the first attack engine for the month that Engine 2 is being rehabilitated.
The Budget Committee also recommended about $50,000 worth of work on the Fire Station. The request includes the second floor carpet, window replacements, and the complete replacement of the three bay doors on the ground level behind the station that were used by the Public Works Department when it was located there.
Carrier said efforts in the past to replace individual panels on the bay doors have been expensive and he's not sure if any replacement panels are still available.
He said that along with the new roof, he hopes the repairs will be more energy efficient.
The Budget Committee also approved without any comment a Police Department budget that includes the addition of an 18th officer. The total recommended amount is $2,434,959.
Selectman Gus Benavides said the last police officer position added to the ranks was in 2003, when the department added a School Resource Officer.
In order to allay any confusion, Benavides, who is the selectman's representative to the committee, reminded the Budget Committee that two years ago selectmen had recommended reducing the number of officers from 17 to 16 but the Budget Committee had overruled them and added back the money for the position.

Standoff with suicidal man ends at 3:30 a.m.
GILFORD — After a four-hour armed standoff, law enforcement officials were able to convince an armed Cherry Valley Road man to give his handgun to police and be taken to the hospital for an evaluation.
Police said the incident began Saturday at 11:25 p.m. when the man called Gilford Police and told them he was suicidal.
Local police, along with members of the Belknap County Special Operations Group, responded while troopers from the New Hampshire State Police closed Cherry Valley Road.
The standoff took place in the Cherry Valley Condominiums at 663 Cherry Valley Road. Sgt. Christopher Jacques said the police had a plan for evacuating some of the surrounding units but police were able to make contact with him via telephone so there was no evacuation.
"It was a combination of physical entry and speaking with the individual," Jacques said, describing how police took the man into custody.
Jacques said there was a child in the apartment with the distressed man. He said the child was older than six but was still young enough to be considered a child. The child was uninjured.
At 3:30 a.m. the man allowed an officer into the apartment and he was taken to Lakes Region General Hospital for evaluation. Jacques said no criminal charges had been filed.

After repairning damage caused by 2nd fire, Pitman's ready to reopen on Thurs.
LACONIA — Pitman's Freight Room, a live entertainment venue that has apparently been targeted on two separate occasions by a firebug, will reopen this weekend with live shows scheduled for Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
Owner Dick Mitchell said yesterday that he replaced about 30-feet of wall on the outside of the building on New Salem Street and 15-feet of wall on the inside. He said they heating and air conditioning system were replaced as well.
"It's a real pain in the butt," Mitchell said yesterday referring to the fires. "It's like someone standing on your fingers when you're trying to get up."
He said he can't be angry at the person or people who have set the fires because he doesn't know who they are.
"Both of our fires were set the same night as the dumpsters at (nearby) Hector's (restaurant)," he said.
"I just wished they'd go away or get caught," he said, noting that security cameras and new smoke alarms have been installed and are working.
There have been two suspicious fires at Pitman's and both appear to have been set it the exact same place. The first was September 28 and the second was on October 30. These are two of some recent suspicious fires in the same area since September 22 when a three-alarm blaze gutted an industrial complex on the corner of Fair and Court Streets.
Firefighters were able to extinguish both of them and both of them caused most of the damage to the exterior of the building.
He said autumn is one of the best times of year for the Freight Room. He said the winter keeps people inside and in the summer, people often go to the Weirs, so the fall and spring are some of their busiest times.
Mitchell said there is a real desire and need for a live entertainment venue in downtown Laconia like Pitman's, which also serves as an occasional incubator for local talent looking for exposure.
"I know it's not a new idea, but it's one we like for downtown Laconia," he said.

Some states have difficulty managing the influx of money
States don't have the money to manage the money they're supposed to be managing.
And that is worrying state officials around the country. They know the Obama administration will provide intense oversight of their use of stimulus dollars, and call them on the carpet if they can't account for how they spend the money. At the same time, the administration is pushing the stimulus money out the door as quickly as possible, adding extra pressure to the states.
States need to build Web sites to show how they're spending federal stimulus money. Pennsylvania is one state that has already done so at: http://www.recovery.pa.gov/portal/server.pt/community/recovery_pa_gov/5994.
Special features:
President Barack Obama's vision of unprecedented transparency in tracking the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act's $787 billion has wide appeal. But state officials aren't sure how much reporting is realistic.
"There is no question that it's a daunting task for states, and there are a lot of questions still to be answered," said Scott Pattison, executive director of the National Association of State Budget Officers.
State officials also are trying to identify funding in the recovery act that will help them meet their reporting responsibilities, especially for gathering and transmitting information on details such as subcontracts and job creation.
"There would certainly be additional costs to states," said Vern Jones, Alaska's chief procurement officer and president of the National Association of State Procurement Officers. "How states might pay for any additional costs is still unknown."
To fully achieve the president's vision, states likely need to reconfigure their reporting systems that are expected to handle nearly $300 billion of the stimulus funds. The hodgepodge of state systems will need to conform to common requirements to report contracts, subcontracts, subgrants, job creation and other data, according to state and federal officials and other experts.
Those are especially intimidating tasks for at least two reasons. The White House has a goal of spending the stimulus money quickly to create the most jobs, and the recovery act doesn't offer explicit funding to states to reach an unprecedented level of transparency.
"Do the states need help? Definitely they do," said Craig Jennings, federal fiscal policy director at OMB Watch, a nonprofit watchdog group. "If Obama really wants to move this forward, he will have to provide resources and advice. It will take a lot of work."
Meanwhile, state officials are moving to centralize their communications on economic stimulus spending to improve reporting and accountability. As of March 30, all but three of the 50 states have created Web sites highlighting their economic stimulus funding. Those 47 states are now linked from a map on Recovery.gov. But appearances can be misleading.
The patchwork of state Web sites shows some of the primary difficulties in tracking stimulus funding.
A quick tour of the state Web sites reveals a jumble of information rather than a cohesive approach. Some overachieving states offer numerous links and charts and others present detailed spending data. However, many give just a brief overview.
"For states to put up a Web site is not a big deal," Jennings said. "But putting up a reporting infrastructure is a big deal. It is not just computer systems but also changing how the states do business."
Some governors are already realizing they might need assistance. "Some of the implemented work will exceed our bandwidth, so we are looking at the possibility of contracting out for accounting, compliance and legal advice," said Evan Dreyer, a spokesman for Gov. Bill Ritter of Colorado.
States are taking different approaches in the degree to which they are centralizing their data reporting and collection, Pattison said.
Centralization might be helpful to states, said Ray Scheppach, executive director of the National Governors Association, in an online seminar March 26. It is best to have a central liaison in each state, he said.
"Agencies are talking to agencies. We're saying: talk to the governors," Scheppach said.
"The administration is trying to walk a line," Jennings said. "They want strong reporting, but they are concerned about burdens to businesses or states."
Data experts are offering their help with the data challenges.
Fixing the situation will take a coordinated approach. The Coalition for an Accountable Recovery, a group that includes OMB Watch and others, recommends a common data template, data-reporting infrastructure, Extensible Markup Language data standards, and guidance on new forms of data for subcontracts and job creation.
Onvia, a private consulting firm based in Seattle that tracks government spending, said it took a decade to develop a data architecture and integrate spending data from 89,000 state and local agencies. They pull the data from public sources such as Web sites, newspapers and the minutes from meetings held by state and local government officials. Onvia recently set up its Recovery.org Web site to report on stimulus spending as a marketing tool.
"It takes a lot of time," said Eric Gillespie, the firm's chief information officer. "We had to build an entire taxonomy for the reporting."
Another project, StimulusWatch.org, posts raw data about the stimulus spending online for thousands of journalists and activists to comb through.
Jerry Brito, senior research fellow at the Mercatus Center at George Mason University who initiated StimulusWatch.org, said a similar format could be applied to actual stimulus projects to empower better citizen auditing. StimulusWatch.org was launched as a wiki in February with a list of possible stimulus projects put together by the U.S. Conference of Mayors. About 2 million people have visited, and 600,000 visitors have voted on the projects.
"We don't need hundreds of auditors if we have crowd-sourcing," Brito said.
The White House expects to turn over Recovery.gov Web site to the Recovery Accountability and Transparency Board by late April or early May.
The board is just getting started in its work and has not yet considered data requirements, according to Chairman Earl Devaney. The board is preparing to take over operation of the Recovery.gov's reporting of how the stimulus money is being spent, and the Office of Management and Budget's second round of reporting guidance is expected to be distributed shortly to federal, state and local officials.
Lawmakers and advocates are urgently echoing Obama's call to deliver comprehensive spending and contracting data at high levels. "I have major concerns about the administration's primary transparency tool, Recovery.gov," Rep. Edolphus Towns (D-N.Y.), chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, wrote to Vice President Joe Biden March 19. "Recovery.gov is currently not a usable database."
Obama might be taking on political risks if he fails to implement major changes in transparency while also distributing the stimulus dollars at record speed. But open-government supporters say the demand for openness is strong and growing.
"Unprecedented levels of spending call for unprecedented transparency," Jennings said.
As state officials scramble to launch a competent reporting system, Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), ranking member on the House oversight committee, has started to question Obama's commitment to openness in Recovery.gov.
"To spend the money first, and figure out transparency later, is disingenuous," said Kurt Bardella, Issa's spokesman.

you wanna be mad at someone about this Iowa commenter? Be mad at Wall Street. Obama's just trying to get us OUT of the mess left by the previous administratino and their deregulation. You can learn alot about this issue by watching the news, but stay off Fox. They'll just feed yor illfounded and misdirected anger.
Hey Iowa, if you have any better ideas that what has already been tried and worked with the new deal during the great depression....why don't you share them? Doing nothing is not an option.
At what point is the price tag too big? Or do you just keep throwing money at it, because you don't want to loose what you have already spent, because that philosophy always works well (NOT). Ditto to California!
It's the same thing we did with the New Deal that jumpstarted us out of the great depression, but things are more complicated now. I saw this one coming, but hoped that the Fed and State IT departments were getting out in front of it. From the sounds of this article, it sounds like years till consistent transparency is reached, but it's still a good goal. Obama needs a Web Standard for these sites, at the very least, so that it is consistent. How to get the data from the backend securely is another matter. Complex stuff, but it's a good step in the right direction and we need to do it anyways.
What a complete fiasco this "stimulus" program is becoming! Why doesn't the federal government just quit spending our money and let the original owners of the money --- hard working Americans --- spend their own dollars? I can tell you I'd have no problem using my own money to stimulate our economy. Why can't government get that?
