Network Procurement
Cedric Sims is a partner at Evermay Consulting Group. He previously served as executive director of the Office of Program Accountability and Risk Management at the Department of Homeland Security and held leadership roles at the Secret Service.
I first encountered the General Services Administration's Networx contract during the contract's award phase, when I was chief of network operations at the Secret Service.
Networx intrigued me. The anticipated pricing was aggressive and competitive with the open market. The government had learned a lot of lessons from FTS 2001, and those lessons seemed to have been applied to Networx. I was also encouraged that the number of required services was lowered from the FTS 2001 levels. Aspects of FTS 2001 were rigid, not unlike a cable TV company that forces you to buy a package of 20 channels when you only want one. Networx offered greater flexibility.
By most measures, Networx was a success in its early days. But that was then. Today's IT chiefs should have a different concern: Can your Networx enterprise adapt to today's service models?
We desire to buy IT in a very different way than we did in 2007, when Networx was awarded. I say "desire" because most of the $1.8 billion federal network enterprise is still managed through contracts that were based on acquisition strategies conceived nearly a decade ago.
The following are some considerations that GSA should address about the adaptability of Networx for today's — and tomorrow's — environment.
1. Network as a service and shared infrastructure. More than ever, government is moving toward infrastructure managed and owned by other entities, and the best IT chiefs are focused on operations and economics. The opportunity to shift capital investment costs to industry or government service centers is vital for IT chiefs who are facing a stark fiscal future. Network as a service (NaaS) and shared infrastructure complement the move to cloud computing in a compelling way. Unconventional acquisition is the enabler for harnessing the promise of NaaS. Is there sufficient flexibility in Networx as an acquisition vehicle to buy through an industry partner while retaining the government-to-government protections offered by GSA? Are there on-ramps and off-ramps that could facilitate novel approaches to network management without penalizing the customer?
2. Security. We cannot fully comprehend the breadth of threats that will need to be addressed in the coming year, yet our mission capabilities must be defended vigorously. According to the Open Security Foundation, 2012 is on track to eclipse the past three years of data breaches in terms of number of incidents and records lost. In a strange arrangement, government gets exactly what is asked for in the Networx acquisition. Networx provides some layers of commercial-grade security, but every other packet of data is brought right to the front door, good and bad. A better partnership is needed so that Networx vendors can be empowered to act on behalf of their customers and intercede at the moment that an attack is visible. Is there a more responsive way that government could shift some of the security risk to industry while working in partnership on the best countermeasures?
3. Ubiquitous mobile. The network is no longer tethered to a desk. Today's wireless is much more robust than cellular handsets, per-minute costs and discounts for pooled access. Mobile is apps. Mobile is data. Mobile has finally arrived as anywhere, anytime access. It is a direct link to the heart of our enterprise networks and must be treated in a tightly integrated fashion. Using Networx as an acquisition vehicle encourages an artificial separation between those converged capabilities. Handheld devices can exceed transmission rates that were once reserved for hard-wired networks. How can mobile access be provisioned seamlessly with a dedicated infrastructure?

Erin N. Kobetz, Ph.D., M.P.H.
Associate Professor of Epidemiology & Public Health
Description of Research
Dr. Erin Kobetz is the Associate Director for Disparities and Community Outreach at Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center, the Director of Sylvester's Jay Weiss Institute for Health Equity, and co-Leader of Sylvester's Cancer Prevention, Control, & Survivorship Program. Dr. Kobetz is also Program Director for Community Engagement at the Miami Clinical and Translational Science Institute (CTSI).
Dr. Kobetz has substantial experience with disparities-focused research, and has been involved in multiple translational research initiatives to understand and address health disparities in cervical and colorectal cancer outcomes. In 2004, Dr. Kobetz established Patnè en Aksyon (Partners in Action), a campus-community partnership between SCCC and key community-based organizations in Little Haiti, the predominately Haitian neighborhood in Miami, Florida. This partnership utilizes Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR) methods and has become Sylvester's model for community engagement. The Jay Weiss Institute, which Dr. Kobetz leads, now supports a number of campus-community partnerships, or Community Advisory Groups (CAGs), throughout the Miami metropolitan area. Such partnerships were conceived in the spirit of Community-based Participatory Research (CBPR) and facilitate meaningful collaboration between University investigators and community stakeholders in addressing issues of health disparity.
Dr. Kobetz is the PI for the South Florida Center for Reducing Cancer Disparities, also known as SUCCESS, awarded in 2010 from The National Cancer Institute. Now in its last year, this project focuses on cervical cancer, a topic of significant health concern for three communities served by SUCCESS: Little Haiti, Hialeah, and South Dade. Like other predominately minority, low-income neighborhoods across the United States, these communities contribute to excess cervical cancer incidence and mortality, largely due to lack of access to routine Pap smear screening and timely follow up for detected abnormalities. SUCCESS aims to address this disparity. For the past three years, we have been engaged in a community trial comparing two innovative modalities for disease prevention: navigation to Pap smear screening at local Federally-Qualified Health Centers (FQHC) vs. home-based self-sampling for Human Papillomavirus (HPV), the principal cause of cervical cancer. In both arms, Community Health Workers (CHWs) play a critical role in intervention delivery. However, preliminary data indicate that CHW involvement may matter less than the method of screening itself. Screening uptake is significantly higher among women randomized to self-sampling in all three communities, likely given the ease of use and participant preference for home-based screening, which circumvents structural and cultural barriers to care.
Dr. Kobetz obtained a NIH R01 grant this year to explore this issue, and will formally test the significance of CHW participation by comparing self-sampling provided by a CHW with self-sampling provided by mail. Cervical cancer disproportionately affects racial/ethnic minorities, recent immigrants, and low-income women. Consistent with the tenets of CBPR, the focus of this effort reflects community input and is grounded in community members' preferences for health and disease prevention. Dr. Erin Kobetz is the Associate Director for Disparities and Community Outreach at Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center, Director of the Jay Weiss Institute for Health Equity, Program Director for Community Engagement at the Miami Clinical and Translational Science Institute, and co-Leader of the Cancer Prevention, Control, & Survivorship Program.
- Co-chair of the Cervical Cancer Free Florida. This initiative is led by the University of Miami Sylvester Cancer and Moffitt Cancer Center and will develop the necessary infrastructure to support patient-centered translational inquiry to eliminate cervical cancer disparity throughout the state.

- 2013 Recipient, Health Choice Network, Jessie Trice Hero Award for unwavering commitment to improving the lives of underserved and minority populations in South Florida.

Ain't Louie Fest
Whitewater canoeing does not attract the large and consolidated following of its stepchild, kayaking. Since the advent of plastic kayaks more than 30 years ago canoes have been consigned to permanent minority status, with the noteworthy exception of 10 days each March on the whitewater that flows off the Cumberland Plateau around Lenoir City, Tennessee. For those glorious few days in the wet Appalachian spring, open-boaters reclaim their place atop the paddling hierarchy, and if any kayaker feels bold enough to question this old-world order, Michael "Louie" Lewis will happily, and emphatically, set him or her straight.

"Supporting the military makes the nation powerful.
Not supporting the military makes the nation weak."
Sun Tzu's The Art of War 3:4:3-4
Today's Lesson: Sun Tzu's seven keys to understanding the two opposing skill sets of competition and production.
In the last several decades, the term "strategy" has been increasingly associated with planning and management control. The problem is that this confuses internal production with external competition. Production and competition are complementary opposite skill sets. Sun Tzu described the productive half of this dynamic as the "nation" and the competitive half as the "army." He warns that there is a tremendous danger in not clearly separating these two very different and yet complementary methodologies. In recent decades our focus of production has greatly overshadowed our understanding of competition. And, as the principles of complementary opposites requires, this imbalance creates a shift in the environment. Two centuries of advances in production have led to both the atrophy of competitive skills and the worldwide spread of production knowledge. At this point, we have diminishing returns from improving production, so the key advantages are shifting back to the competition side of the equation.
Production and competition work together. Our opportunity is understanding when to use which set of skills. Our productive skills make the most of the resources that we control, but our competitive skills extend our span of control into new areas with...
Every day, more competitors discover the strategic agility of Sun Tzu.
There are hundreds of books written about "strategy." The work here is different. It teaches skills you can use daily on a personal level. The skills we offer are based on The Art of War by Sun Tzu. Its methods of "strategic agility" allow you to make better decisions more quickly about any of the choices that your job, profession, and life offer you every day.
A few easy steps to begin learning about Sun Tzu's competitive methods
As Sun Tzu said, competition is complex. People are usually surprised by how many profitable ideas his approach to competition offers for today's people. We offer a simple road map for to get you started. The goal is to give you a big picture overview.
Read more about first steps.
A system of success that has survived 2,500 years.
Throughout history, people have rediscovered these success principles through trial and error. They are described in similar ways in different competitive arenas from sports to politics. Sun Tzu's approach is universal. Read more about how it works.
Competition, conflict, and comparison: the unique perspective of Sun Tzu's science
Competition is a comparison of positions where a choice must be made. Conflict is the result of poor choices. Sun Tzu teaches us how to build up the strength of our position, but conflict always weakens our position. Sun Tzu's strategy is to identify the key points of comparison in a competitive situation. This understanding allows us to make the right decisions. Read more about competition as comparison.
Is globalization creating a more competitive society that we are unprepared to face?
Back when we could plan on staying with the same organizations for a lifetime, we didn't have to decide about our competitive position every day. That world is gone forever. Read more about why today's world requires Sun Tzu's thinking.
Strategy and tactics: how Sun Tzu defines the difference
Are you a warrior making decisions or a worker following orders?
Warriors see every task as a personal challenge. Workers put themselves at the mercy of others. Warriors get what they deserve. Workers get what they are given. Read more about today's working warriors.
Nine uncommon skills: the special abilities gained from studying Sun Tzu.
Successful people are not gifted from birth. They are ordinary people who developed a very specific set of skills. Success requires a least a little skill in nine different areas. Read more about these nine skills.
Absolute clarity: distilling The Art of War into a Warrior's Play Book.
Sun Tzu's Art of War Play Book is the culmination of over a decade of work. It breaks down Sun Tzu's verses into a series of step-by-step warrior's rules. It was developed over the years by the Institute's multiple award-winning author and founder, Gary Gagliardi. Read more about the Play Book.
Opening eyes: keys to unlocking the secrets to Art of War strategy
Sun Tzu's book is one of the most valuable works in human history. It is also one of the most difficult to understand. Much of Sun Tzu's writing is based on concepts in traditional Chinese science and philosophy with which modern readers are unfamiliar. Read more about the keys to Sun Tzu.
Is The Art of War the most mistranslated book in history?
No book written in the conceptual ancient Chinese can be completely translated into English prose. The original Chinese has more in common with mathematical formulas than sentences. Read more about translation problems here.

When doctors want to monitor someone's brain activity, they generally use either functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) or positron emission tomography (PET). One subjects the patient to strong magnetic fields, while the other involves radiation exposure. Scientists at Washington University in St. Louis, however, have recently had success using diffuse optical tomography (DOT). Although it may look kind of extreme, it basically just involves shining LEDs into the subject's head. Read More
Fluorescent lights aren't on the top of many people's favorites list.

Director Lee Chang-dong could well have cut 30 minutes out of the story, but Jeon's performance is powerful enough to keep Secret Sunshine from drowning in an ocean of tears.
Jeon received the Best Actress at Cannes for her wrenching performance. She's the first Korean to receive an acting award at this Festival.
Director Lee Chang-dong's soulful, affecting film is as quiet as a tomb and has a disturbing, critical underside that's hard to shake off.

Panel Discussions - Monday, July 01, 2013
Citizen Security Joins the Post-2015 Development Agenda
Much has been learned from the experiences of both countries and international development partners working to achieve the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) that were declared in 2000. In particular, country experience has revealed the importance of citizen security for achieving sustainable development, underscoring the importance of including armed violence prevention and reduction in the post-2015 MDGs framework.
In an effort to highlight perspectives on ways to reduce and prevent armed violence, IPI and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) co-hosted a policy forum on July 1st, in conjunction with UNDP's Annual Meeting on Strengthening the Rule of Law in Crisis-Affected and Fragile Situations.
Luis Ramirez began the discussion by sharing his experiences as Special Adviser to the Attorney General of Guatemala. Guatemala, which went through thirty years of civil war, began its transformation towards democracy in 1995 after a peace agreement was established between the government and guerilla fighters.
Speaking with the aid of a translator, Mr. Ramirez said that the contributions of the international community and political will caused a decreased in violent crimes in the country during the last few years. He provided four variables which he believed helped to bring the numbers down: political will of institutions such as the police and judiciary; management of the institutions; the development of IT systems; and lastly, the working methodology of the institutions.
Iman El Hussien, Program Analyst, UNDP's Bureau for Crisis Prevention and Recovery (BCPR), presented the case study of Sudan, making the connections to insecurity and development. She explained that the region of Sudan faces significant security and political challenges and in the local context, different dynamics are at play.
"The presence of armed groups and high levels of arms continues in communities in larger conflicts, in addition to other challenges that face certain groups in the community, like women [and] children, and therefore sexual violence becomes a reality of everyday to some of the communities and recruitment of child soldiers is the only source of living to certain households," Ms. El Hussein said.
She noted, "It is important to know that these local challenges are also related to macro-level conflict dynamics, like the regional influx of arms. They are both fed into each other."
In Darfur, Ms. El Hussein explained, poverty levels are among some of the highest in the country with almost two thirds of the population falling below the poverty line.
She argued that the complexity of the conflict and insecurity in Sudan requires responses at all levels in order to address immediate security challenges, providing four main practices to address the issue: fostering a political will at the macro-level; developing strategy and policy making at the national level; addressing the reasons why people resort to carrying arms; and focusing on improving service delivery of government institutions.
She contended that a major lesson drawn from Sudan is that it is important to know the different responses that are effective, depending on the local context of each community.
Discussing some of the paradoxes often faced when working on security and justice was Petter Bauck, Senior Adviser at the Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation, who shared some of his personal experience working in countries of conflict.
Mr. Bauck said, "We experience again and again that people turn to violence and armed struggle to end occupation, oppression, injustice and marginalization, often when other means have proven useless. Is all violence, therefore, to be condemned?"
Taking the example of Nepal, he asked, "Would the transformation process ongoing in Nepal been possible without ten years of armed struggle from the Maoist against the Nepal Royal army?"
"I say this to make us aware that sometimes human conclude that use of violence is necessary to change the political, social and economic context in a way more conducive for sustainable and inclusive development," he argued. "We're in need of a thorough understanding of the reasons and forces behind the conflicts and who are the connectors to work with and spoilers to neutralize or change."
Sheelagh Stewart, Director of Governance and Rule of Law Group at UNDP's BCPR, provided concluding remarks, reiterating some of the points made by the previous speakers.
"It's very important to ask communities why they are arming themselves," Ms. Stewart said. She asserted that taking on a holistic approach is important, not one that relies only on rules and laws, but on an approach of asking communities what they need to feel safe.
"Violence and conflict hold back development. According to the World Bank, no low-income country affected by conflict or high-level of violence has met a single MDG," she noted.
One billion people live in poverty, Ms. Stewart explained, principally because they live in parts of the world affected by chronic violence and chronic insecurity. She described it as the development challenge of our time.
"So as a way forward, we consider the ongoing post-2015 discussions as a great opportunity to agree at the highest level," she concluded, "that security, armed violence and development are interlinked and that there is a need to include a goal specifically targeting the reduction of violence."

Initially known as Sweet Vengeance, guitarist/vocalist Chris Astley, guitarist Kristian Havard, drummer Dennis Gasser and bassist Paul Mackenzie created enough of a stir through their live performances that the English branch of Roadrunner Records took notice and signed the group in January 1989.

Man injured in runaway RV in Epping back in hospital
Gregory Rollins remained hospitalized Friday at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston after he was injured when the RV he was sleeping in began rolling down a hill in Epping last Saturday. (Courtesy WBZ-TV)
"That doesn't bother me," Gregory Rollins said, referring to the thought of once again driving the RV that took him on a wild ride down a hill while he was asleep in the master bedroom.
Rollins was rushed to Exeter Hospital with injuries that included a lesion on his spleen immediately following last Saturday's incident at the MX 101 race track at New England Dragway. He was released from Exeter Hospital Wednesday, but said he still didn't feel right.
Rollins went home and sought additional care at a local hospital after he started "seeing things," he said. Rollins said he was sent to Brigham and Women's Hospital for further treatment.
Meanwhile, Rollins still can't shake the image of the RV flying more than 200 yards downhill with no driver at the wheel while he was stuck in the bed.
Rollins was alone in the 1997 Winnebago Adventurer owned by his friend and woke up as he was being tossed around after it began rolling when the brakes apparently let go. He began yelling for the driver to slow down, but quickly realized there was no driver after the motor home sailed over a jump and eventually dropped 12 feet onto the middle of the race track used for dirt bike races.
At 64, he's certainly had his share of life experiences, but said his ride in the runaway RV is one he won't soon forget.

ATK Awarded $46.5 M Ammunition Contract
- ATK Commercial Training Ammunition to be Used by U.S. Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps and Coast Guard
- Contract Adds to ATK's Portfolio of Specialized Ammunition Products for Military Use
The rounds are ideal for training purposes because they reduce the risk of personal injury and collateral damage during training exercises for military operations in urban terrain and close quarters battle. The frangible ammunition is designed to disintegrate into small fragments on impact, minimizing over-penetration and ricochet hazards. The polymer-compound round produces limited splash back, which vastly decreases ricochets.

"This contract is a great example of how ATK is taking its industry-leading products and technologies into multiple markets," said Ron Johnson, President of ATK's Security and Sporting group. "ATK frangible training ammunition has been recognized as the best in the business by law enforcement agencies, and we're proud that it will help prepare U.S. military personnel as well. Our team continues to work closely with customers like the Navy to provide the right product technology for their needs."

Basically, it's going to be a concept song. The story is that Octavia is alone during Hearth's Warming Eve due to her continuously practicing. Fortunately, the Mane Six visit her and celebrate. I want to make the mood of the first part to be sad and to portray Octavia's loneliness while the second part is more happy and cheerful.

SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, CA—The Landing Resort & Spa will open its doors here in December 2013.
Offering 88 guestrooms with fireplaces and private decks, amenities at the resort include a new Greek and California cuisine restaurant, a full-service spa and a conference center.
Jim and Nancy Demetriades own the property. Nancy Demetriades, an interior designer, created the look of the hotel. According to her, she used the stone on the outside of the building, gas lights and select traditional pieces in the room to achieve the feeling that the hotel had been there for years. The designer noted that she also used modern pieces to marry modern with traditional.
All rooms feature contemporary, European-style furnishings, wood floors, marble bathrooms, custom-made headboards and stonework, as well as 55-in. wall-mounted televisions, in-room Keurig coffee service, pillow top beds, premium down pillows and comforters, heated bathroom floors, heated toilet seats, waterfall showers and private decks, most with a Lake Tahoe view. Select suites also offer aromatherapy, heat therapy, music therapy, light therapy, steam showers, heated towel racks and thermo masseur tubs in the guest bath.
Warmth and light are key design features throughout the resort: all rooms have fireplaces; the lobby has an oversized stone-faced fireplace; outdoor fire pits on a lakeside patio outside the new Jimmy's Restaurant serve as a gathering spot for guests; and the resort is lit with gas lamps.
Additional resort amenities include a backlit onyx-walled bar, outdoor pool and hot tub, a fitness center with steam showers and a lake-view meeting room and boardroom.
Complimentary amenities include valet service, business center, high-speed WiFi and internet connections. Seasonal amenities include complimentary bicycles and free ski storage, ski valet and boot warmers.
Jimmy's Restaurant, constructed and opening with the hotel, serves wood-fired Greek seafood and locally sourced California cuisine.
The Landing's full-service spa and hair salon offers customized spa treatments using organic and natural botanicals, including sports-specific treatments. The spa also includes a sauna, steam room, special couple's room and Spa Sanctuary serving a selection of detoxifying teas.

Javier Colon Speaks on The Voice Victoryby Free Britney at . Comments
Even though Javier Colon won The Voice Wednesday night, it still hasn't completely sunk in yet. The 34-year-old says he's still in disbelief.
"I was 100 percent in my mind, I was ready and prepared for Carson to say, 'The winner of The Voice is Dia Frampton," he tells Celebuzz.
"I was going to be okay with that because I absolutely love Dia ... She is amazing and deserved a win as much as we all did. We all have the same dreams and are trying to succeed in a very hard business."
"But in that moment, when he announced my name, it was unexpected. I am very, very thankful to those who voted for me. It was so close."
Below are a few excerpts from Celebuzz's talk with Javier:
On Adam Levine's reaction off the air: "He was emotional about me and my situation. He genuinely wanted me to win so badly. It wasn't that he wanted his team to beat the others, it was because he wanted me to succeed."
"To see him get emotional meant a lot to me because it reaffirmed the fact that he really cares. We're going to be friends for a very long time."On Justin Bieber's last-minute support: "Adam had played basketball with Justin at one point and knew his manager Scooter Braun, so they both tweeted out to their millions of followers to vote for me."
"Not sure if it was Adam's connection to Justin or what, but he decided to put his support behind me, and it really meant a lot."
On his upcoming album: "I'm hellbent on making sure this album is the real me that I've always wanted to have a chance to be, that unfortunately with my last label I wasn't able to do. I want these songs to move people and that mean something to me - and hopefully mean something to those who listen to the album."
"It will have a soulful vibe but it'll still be more pop than R&B."
On his family's response to the win: "I don't think my daughters fully understand what this means for me and our family, but they were really excited."
"After the show, my oldest daughter, who is 3 1/2, ran up to me on the stage to give me a big hug. She said, 'Daddy, we saw you win on TV!' It was sweet."

javier deserve to win,you know i give credit to Adam for his hard work,and that hard work reveiled from javier's result cos javier have the quality and he is a star.vow to you all jealous minded.go team adam victorious.
Who still buys CD's???? Javier's an amazing sing!! And so is Dia, but its a game show! The real winner will be who gets the first Grammy!!!
I was expecting Dia and want her to win then Carson said Javier and i applauded with joy....so you you guys do the math..lol.
These comments are dumb. He won because he is good. Blake pushed for everyone to vote for Dia constantly. Adam not so much for Javier, just be happy for the man. He has two little girls and a wife.
It's so sad how many people are acting. Javier had a great voice and so did dia. Why put one contestant down because yours didn't win. It was a great show with lots of competition. Just because javier didn't have most downloads on itune. There was voting on nbc and by telephone!!j
Javier has an undeniably beautiful voice. But, the reality is that I wouldn't buy his CD. And, I'm not alone in that. He doesn't have that quality that makes people buy his music (or else his previous record deals would have made him a star). I will buy Dia Frampton's CD. And Xenia's CD. They should have let the voting rely upon fans of the show, because in the end that is who is going to buy music. The first warning should have been that Dia moved more sales on iTunes than Javier. That is people speaking in the clearest way. The world is full of people with great voices. That's not the only thing you need to sell music. You need to have star quality. Javier is not a star. Dia will be.
Adam cheated... If the voice coaches going to continue like this "The Voice" is not going to last long.
Javier won because he is an amazing singer and deserved the title, not because Adam asked friends to support him. You guys need to stop hating, the competition was tough, who even cares about that bieber crap? Adam did a great job as a coach and you can tell, because Javier won. Get over yourselves and whatever problems you have, Javier deserved to win. Team Adam all the way!!
Is Justin Bieber going to tweet when it comes to selling his album?
