Two people are facing criminal charges after Social Services says two children were living in a home that was filthy and unsafe.
An investigation began in February after a four-year-old boy had needle pokes on his chest believed to have been caused when he was playing with a syringe at his home.
According to court documents the the four-year-old boy and his six-year-old brother were living at 1430 Torun Road in Stevens Point. The boys' mother, Kayla Clark, 26 lived at trailer #106. The boys' father, Scott Jones lived at trailer #108. Investigators say neither home had running water, and a toilet did not work at one of the homes.
The family would reportedly go to a relative's nearby home to get water.
The youngest child told investigators his mother and another man, Harold Drewa, Jr. 34, would go into the bathroom and inject themselves with medicine. It was later determined the two were injecting, Suboxone, a medicine used for maintenance treatment of opioid dependence.
The boy also said he had been left home alone with just his six-year-old brother and their dog.
Investigators say inside trailer #106 were syringes, dog feces, drug paraphernalia, and pill bottles.
Harold Drewa appeared in Portage County Court Monday for an initial appearance. He pleaded not guilty to two counts of child neglect and one count of possession of drug paraphernalia. He remains in custody.
Kayla Clark also appeared in court on the same charges. They'll both return to court on May 19.
The boys' father Scott Jones was charged last month. He's currently in custody in Waushara County.
The boys were taken into protective custody.

These days future scarification artists can apprentice with someone like Bear, but most current practitioners are self-taught. Steve Joyner of Obscurities Precision Piercing in Dallas has been cutting for almost as long as Bear has and sees quite a bit of Houston traffic. He began by experimenting. "I started doing it on a trial-and-error basis on friends, to be quite honest," he says. "Later I started going to medical courses to learn more about the skin. I was just putting two and two together."
There are no specific regulations on scarification, although Texas requires practitioners to work in a licensed tattoo studio (which seems strange to Joyner, as tattooing and scarification are hardly similar). Joyner, who is working with the state health department to write piercing regulations, would like to see tougher rules and mandatory training to prevent just anyone from wielding a scalpel (though not as stringent as some states, which outlaw the practice).
"I can cut you very deeply, very quickly with a scalpel," he points out.
Twenty-seven-year-old Robert-Michael possesses a constant, subtle smile, like he knows something that he's not going to tell you. Teasing your attention, he communicates in low rumbles that render his words easy to miss. He wears baggy fatigue pants, and his blond dreads (definitely not his natural color, but he's not trying to hide that) sprout haphazardly over his agreeable face, which is accented by 16 piercings in his eyebrows, nose, lips and ears. Bold black tribal tattoos transverse his back, arms and chest. Fascinated with body art at a young age, Robert scarred his own arm when he was 13 and exchanged brandings with a friend at 16. On his left forearm is a work of Bear's, a pattern of lines and arrows derived from traditional South African designs. Rugged yet smooth to the touch, the pattern has faded in the year since it was first cut. "I don't scar well; I'm white," he says with a grin.
With scarification, the darker you are, the better you'll form scars and keloids. (Note the brandings sported by some black fraternity men.) So it makes sense that scarification is more prominent in cultures closer to the equator, where people tend to be melanin-rich, defeating the visibility of tattoos.
Why, then, would the light-skinned bother getting scarred? The answer, Robert says, lies as much in the process of scarification as in the outcome, in the sense that this is a test in transcending pain. It is somewhere in the moment before your flesh senses the cold blade descending, when the whole of you centers on that one place and when your body does what it naturally does: heals.
"People are using their own body for design," Joyner says of those who prefer scarification over tattoos. "They're not putting pigmentation in their skin. It's so much more permanent. It is their body, their flesh."
Or as Robert attempts to articulate: "It's pretty much bringing outside something that's already there."
Don't assume that the scarred are depressed. Unlike those with depression or victims of sexual abuse who sometimes cut themselves, people who undergo the bloody scarification process are not necessarily driven by a self-destructive force.
"When people see it they think you must be suicidal or depressed, but it's not. It's a natural thing for me," says Renee Angelica, whose recent dotted-line cutting encircling her right arm is still scabbing over. With her shaved head and glittery eyelashes reminiscent of a pixie, Renee says she was pleasantly surprised that the process didn't hurt much. She's planning more dotted lines -- around her arms, her ankles, maybe her chest -- to acquire that sewn-back-together look $agrave; la The Nightmare Before Christmas.
She's adding to her body, not hurting it, she says. When endorphins rush into the bloodstream at the first incision, the feeling of being cut is even considered therapeutic. It's what Bear calls intense, what Robert calls centering. And it's what Colby looks for to calm him through tough times. While he waits at Atomic Tattoo, his silly grin betrays his glee at the thought of getting cut, as mirthful as a kid who has finally laid eyes on Disneyland after months of obsessive anticipation.
For a while now Colby has been mulling over his new addition: the Japanese character for "air." Scarification, after all, is not something you jump into on a whim. "Everyone who has it done is prepared, because it's not an art form that can be taken off," Robert says. "You can't just half-ass something like this."
Colby is ready-set-go ready, his eyes flickering, his face taut.
"It puts you through another perspective, opens you up," Colby says.
"Opening up is a cool thing," Robert adds.
"Basically it puts your body in a state of shock. It puts you in a state of mind. It's better than drugs," Colby says.
"Which is why we don't do drugs anymore," Robert confesses.
For all the scalpels, blood and pain (though "pain is all in your head," Robert insists), scarification begins unceremoniously at the copying machine. In a small, bland room at Atomic Tattoo, Robert is enlarging "air" from Essential Kanji: 2,000 Basic Japanese Characters and holding it to the empty space on Colby's right arm beneath "three" and above his elbow. When they find the best size, Robert runs the page through a carbon-copy machine to create a stencil.


text: Greetings unto one and all! Well, "All Hallows Eve" is officially in the books, and like so many autocrats before me, I have a long list to thank, and I might get a little misty eyed here (yeah, right...). First, I would like to thank my co-autocrat, HL Agnarr Thorvaldson. I really couldn't have done this with out your help. Elewys (mka Jane Lusk) get the right hand award from me. She really pitched in and helped out when it was crucial. It's people like Jane that allow autocrats to maintain what little bit of their sanity that they can salvage. Also, Janes cousin Charles, for lending a much needed hand to feast prepaprations. Julianna, Caelin, Morgana, and Christianna (mka the Armsteads) for pitching in, even when there were much more pressing matters at hand. My feasto-crat, Stephen Blackthorne, for a wonderful feast (If I see another deviled egg anytime soon, I think I'm going to die, though... hehehehe). Honestly, the list just goes on and on, and as my brother Ian says, only brass hats are allowed to be long winded... hehehehe Congratulations to Sir Aaron Macgregor, who took first place in the heavy fighting tournament. Also, a big Ansteorran vivot to Lord Jasper, who won most chivalrous fighter in the same tourney. Janes cousin Charles (I hate to keep calling him that, but I don't know his last name yet) took first place in the A&S competition, displaying a beautiful iron cross he made. I would also like to announce my engagement to Christianna Macbeth, which also took place Saturday night. We will be married Oct. 31, 2000, and I expect to see everyone there... Thanks to everyone who attended (especially Larkin... I can't get that tune out of my head now!!!). Overcoming mother natures little toorent Friday night, and all of the other little problems an autocrat can run into, I would say the weekend was quite a success. In Service, Logan Macleod of the Clan Macleod KM Crossrode Keep Squire to Sir Aaron "You said you wanted to be around when I made a mistake...

In recent years we've seen massive leaps forward in entertainment technology. 3D TV is all the rage and the release of the Nintendo 3DS has given us our first, glasses-free, 3D console. But what does this advance in entertainment technology mean for the Visual Effects industry? According to the latest statistics, the industry in India is set to grow at 18.5% a year - in short, it's a great time to be working in VFX and 3D in the Indian subcontinent.
Breaking into the VFX industry – Escape Studios Featured on The Guardian's Latest Careers Q&A
You may remember last month that Lee Danskin and Paul Wilkes were featured on The Guardian's careers blog about the film industry. This month, the topic was 'Breaking into the Visual Effects', and as it's our specialist subject we had no less than three spokespeople on the panel this time.
Live Q&A: Breaking into the visual effects industry
Garreth Gaydon, Lee Danskin and escapee Ben Cantor are going to be joining a live Q&A session on 'How to Break into the Visual Effects Industry' hosted by the Guardian online.

UK Games Industry in Need of Help
We were all delighted for our friends at Double Negative on Sunday, as they scooped an Oscar for their VFX work on Inception, and the whole country was feeling a touch of national pride as Brits dominated the 'big' awards. No matter what your thoughts on the future of British film, it was certainly a good day to be a part of the UK film industry.
VFX wins at the BAFTAs
I don't think anyone was too surprised by last night's BAFTAs. Personally, I was really pleased to see Inception win the Special Visual Effects award. With the hardware becoming more powerful, the software more sophisticated and the work ever more creative, as an industry the bar is set incredibly high, and it's always great to see how people are constantly pushing the boundaries of what's possible. It's even more impressive when you consider who else was nominated.
Are cheap mobile games a risk to the industry?
According to Nintendo's president, low priced mobile phone games are one of the biggest risks for the games industry as they are giving the impression that all games should be cheap. Last night I had a fantastic gaming session with my son, not on a Wii, PS3 or xbox but on my iPhone and it cost me 59 pence. The success of the Wii is something that Sony also encouraged with eye toy, casual gaming that is fun and accessible for all kinds of people not just hardcore gamers. It strikes me as a little naive to think that the app generation is the biggest threat to the games industry. Though, the cost of a ds game is huge and takes a child ages to save up their pocket money
The iPhone has opened the Market to small developers, provided a fantastic opportunity for people to break into games and because it is so easy to use, has opened up the world of videogames to a whole cross section of society. My children and I get just as much fun from an iPhone game as well as a ds for a fraction of the price. Epic has produced an amazing looking game for only a few pounds and created a version of their awesome engine specifically to embrace this exciting platform. The biggest threat to the games industry is the CEOs not listening to gamers - they should be encouraging development every where creating internships and fostering talent.
The makers of angry birds have opened an academy, not bad for a little throw away game. Come on Nintendo Sony and Microsoft, get your act together! Speaking of internships one of our games students Chris Chorley is doing a six month internship at veemee. You also only have to look at the success of Portal to see that Valves approach to internships pays huge rewards.

Portrait of an escapee: How Nick Illingworth Became TD at MPC
When Nik Illingworth came to an Open Day last year, he was brimming with CG enthusiasm. He knew that he wanted a career in VFX but didn't really know how he was going to make it happen. After studying for 12 weeks with us, Nik was up and running. He finished his course, was offered his first job at Frametore and accepted it, then a short while later he decided to come back to us for 6 weeks of final professional training. He's now Effects Technical Director at MPC and still has the same love for the industry that he started off with. Nik's is one of many stories of CG enthusiasts who come to study with us and that's why we wanted to share his case study with you - getting a career in VFX off the ground really is easier than you think.
Has the boxed game had its day?
Last week's high profile launch of Halo: Reach, and the stories of gamers camping outside retailers' doors, tell me that game launches have become just like movie premieres and create just as much excitement as the launch of new Apple gadgets.

Together they make up one of the most elite groups in sports: those who have reached No. 1 in the Official World Golf Ranking. Amazingly, only 15 players have done it since the list debuted in 1986. Some of them, such as Tiger Woods, Greg Norman and Nick Faldo, enjoyed extended stays at the top. Others, like Ian Woosnam and Tom Lehman, had shorter tenures. While every player teaches us something unique about achieving golf excellence, they all share certain traits -- a No. 1 DNA, if you will -- and most notably a work ethic that would make a coal miner blush. The Top 100 Teachers reveal what the greatest players of the last 25 years can teach you, so you can become the No. 1 golfer in your world.
Video: watch lessons from the former No. 1s
Weeks at No. 1: 16 (1992)
By Paul Marchand, Shadow Hawk G.C., Richmond, Tex.
What Made Him No. 1
Couples's run to No. 1 in 1992 actually began in 1989 with one of the biggest disappointments of his career. Fred dropped a singles match on the final hole to Christy O'Connor Jr. in that year's Ryder Cup, a loss that helped Europe retain the Cup. As U.S. Captain Ray Floyd consoled the young rookie, Fred asked, "How do I get on the next Ryder Cup team?" His motivation led to the best three-year stretch of his career, culminating in the U.S. victory in the 1991 Ryder Cup at Kiawah, his No. 1 ranking in March of 1992 and his Masters win soon afterward.
His No. 1 Legacy
In all the years I've known Fred (we've been friends since our playing days at the University of Houston), he has never tried to copy another player or change the feel and mechanics he developed as a kid. His swing is his own, which is one reason it held up so well under pressure. Watching him is a lesson in the art of "letting go." Fred never gets caught up by what's happening around him. He plays like a boy in a park, content and simultaneously oblivious to the pangs of pressure felt by his competitors. His image will endure for the apparent ease with which he played a difficult game.
The No. 1 Thing You Can Learn
Copy Couples's looseness. Check your grip and arms. Are they tight, or are they loose and whippy? Then rotate freely back and through while letting the clubhead swing and, as crazy as this sounds, try not to care where the ball goes. Also, stay in the moment. Once Fred hits a shot, he forgets about it. Rounds are played one shot at a time, and the more you "quiet" your mind after a shot, the more likely your outcomes will add up to a good score. If you feel yourself starting to fret over swings, take a moment and picture Fred in his prime, the boy in the park playing without a care.
Weeks at No. 1: 331 (1986-1998)
By Mike Davis, Walters Golf Academy, Las Vegas, Nev.
What Made Him No. 1
Greg Norman's passion and work ethic were second to none -- even by today's standards. He was a gym rat before anyone heard of Tiger Woods, and he logged more range time than two Vijay Singhs. The payoff was staggering physical strength and an unwavering belief in himself. He was cocky (that hat -- really, Greg?), but when you back it up with more than 90 wins, you can wear a pirate hat and an eye patch if you want.
His No. 1 Legacy
Norman never received the credit he deserved for being No. 1 for so long. When Tiger romped at the 1997 Masters -- the year after Norman blew a 6-shot lead to Nick Faldo in the final round -- everyone became so intoxicated with Woods that Greg's run sort of faded away. He was arguably the best driver of all time -- hard swing, high ball flight, little curve and eye-popping power -- and he had a knack for making putts under pressure. Norman was personable with his fans, the press, and officials. I'd love to see more of today's players copy his larger-than-life personality. Part of Norman's legacy is also his lack of majors. He should have won more, most notably the 1986 PGA Championship (he finished second to Bob Tway's miracle bunker hole out) and the 1987 Masters (second to Larry Mize's miracle pitch). As tough as those and other losses were, Greg has never played the victim or griped about his misfortune. He played the game -- and took the losses -- like a man.
The No. 1 Thing
You Can Learn
Norman's "Great White Shark" persona is a lesson for anyone who wants to go low. Like the ocean predator, you pick your targets, then attack with total focus and without reservation. Watch video of young Norman hitting his driver -- he powers through the ball with such force that the shaft rebounds off his back. Full commitment, not an ounce of doubt.
Weeks at No. 1: 11 (as of 8/15/2011)
By Pat Goss, Northwestern University, Evanston, Ill.
What Made Him No. 1
I first worked with Luke Donald as his college coach at Northwestern University. The way he manipulates his irons is a lost art. However, his No. 1 gift is his rhythm and balance. Most players find this perfect pace with practice. Luke is lucky -- it's part of his DNA.
His No. 1 Legacy
No matter how long Luke stays atop the World Golf Ranking, he'll go down as a throwback golfer who succeeded in the modern era. In a powerobsessed age, Donald reached No. 1 without ever cracking the top 150 in driving distance.
The No. 1 Thing You Can Learn
Luke will tell you that an improved short game is the fastest route to low scores. The trick is how you improve. Luke challenges himself at practice by creating tough, uncomfortable conditions that require patience and thought. He'll hit pitches from sidehill lies or bunker shots to ridiculously tight pins. This kind of variety elevates your learning curve in ways that hitting 50 balls from one spot never could.
Weeks at No. 1: 18 (2011)
By Ed Ibarguen, Duke University G.C., Durham, N.C.
What Made Him No. 1
Simply put, Martin Kaymer does everything well. There isn't a stat category in which he lags, which is scary for a golfer his age. His secret is a fluid motion based on solid mechanics. Once he starts his swing or stroke, Kaymer stays centered over the ball while maintaining a consistent spine angle. Anyone who does this will hit the ball well consistently.
His No. 1 Legacy
At 27, Kaymer is the second-youngest player (Tiger was 21) to hit No. 1. His true legacy, however, will be supplanting Bernhard Langer as the face of German golf.
The No. 1 Thing You Can Learn
Add Kaymer's rhythm and fluidity to your swing by keeping your upper and lower body more connected -- don't allow one to outpace the other. Overusing your arms or legs produces herky-jerky movements and inconsistent shots. Feel like the weight of your lower body is propelling your upper body and the club through the ball.

|AP NewsBreak: Red Sox vs. AL West Coast team possible for Tokyo opener
|Written by Admin
|Wednesday, 01 August 2007 13:33
The Red Sox, with ace pitcher Daisuke Matsuzaka, could start the 2008 season at the Tokyo Dome, the No. 2 official of the players' association said Wednesday. The Los Angeles Angels and Oakland Athletics are the most likely opponent, with the Seattle Mariners also a possibility, several people familiar with the discussions said.
``It's going to be exciting,'' Boston third baseman Mike Lowell said. ``We've got some marquee names that are going to bring a lot of attention over there. So in that sense it's great, but I don't think guys are too happy to go 22 hours on a plane to play games that count. It's not the game itself. It's the aftereffects.''
The Chicago Cubs and the New York Mets started the 2000 season with a two-game series in Tokyo, and the New York Yankees and Tampa Bay Devil Rays opened the 2004 season with two games in Japan. A 2003 series between Seattle and Oakland at the Tokyo Dome was scrapped because of the threat of war in Iraq.
Gene Orza, the union's chief operating officer, said that players did not want to disrupt spring training, making exhibition games in Beijing unlikely next year. Major League Baseball has been hoping to stage preseason games at the stadium that will be used for next year's Olympics.
``Going to Beijing would be nice, and we're going to still try to work through that, but I just don't think it fits in with the concept of spring training,'' Orza said. ``The two are at odds with each other given the routine that spring training represents.''
Officials from Yomiuri, which hosts the games in Japan, are to meet with baseball officials in New York on Friday.
``I have only briefly spoken with the Red Sox players, so I don't know what their view on the matter is. But the Red Sox are a logical choice given Matsuzaka,'' Orza said.
If the Red Sox open in Japan, that likely would be followed by a series on the West Coast against the same club they play in Tokyo.
``Any comment would be premature,'' Red Sox president Larry Lucchino said.
While veterans such as the Yankees' Mike Mussina squawked about past Japan trips, younger players were thrilled.
``We're excited about it.'' Oakland closer Huston Street said. ``I've talked to most of the guys about it, and they all think it's a good thing. It just recently came to our attention, and I know the league has some decisions to make, but if we get chosen we'd love to be a part of it.''
Lowell said the distance was the problem for him.
``I know we want to get the game globalized and all that,'' he said, ``but from a player standpoint East Coast-West Coast is tough enough, and going to the other end of the world is another thing.''
Paul Archey, a senior vice president of Major League Baseball International, cautioned that talks were ongoing.
``We're still working through the process on both events,'' he said. ``Nothing has been decided either way.''
Players postponed the deadline for management to present a draft schedule from June 30 to Aug. 15. Because many teams open against division rivals, having Boston play an AL West team poses difficulties.
``Whenever you try and force a series in a specific place, it's not just the two teams involved that are impacted, it's going to have a domino or ripple effect throughout the schedule,'' said Katy Feeney, baseball's vice president in charge of scheduling. ``You try to minimize it. You do what you can do.''
A's president Mike Crowley said his team hadn't had any discussions yet but would be interested in going to Japan.
``We certainly are in favor of expanding the game internationally,'' he said. ``I think you have to play games internationally to do that.''
AP Sports Writer Howard Ulman in Boston and AP freelance writer Rick Eymer in Oakland, Calif., contributed to this report.

Pegasus Bridge: June 6, 1944

It's been more than a month since Waynesboro residents voted on projects as part of a bond referendum. Monday night, the city council took steps to validate the referendum after a legal SNAFU stalled the projects.
"At least ten days prior to an election, notice of the election shall be published in the local newspaper," says Chris Kulp, city council's referendum counsel. "For whatever reason, that did not get published."
Waynesboro City Council thought the vote went smoothly, but now residents are upset. They say some people weren't aware of the referendum.
"People are apathetic and they don't vote," says councilman Frank Lucente. "Eleven thousand voters, and only 3,200 of them turned up. The fire station passed by 300. I think a lot of the people who didn't vote probably were against the fire station, but they didn't vote."
Lucente and other council members learned they have a choice to make: pass the referendum with votes, validate the election, or hold another referendum vote. If they chose to pass the election, Kulp says they'd need a super majority.
"If a 4/5 vote at any time is obtained, you don't have to go through the referendum process," says Kulp. "If you go through the referendum process, then a simple majority is all that is required."
Four out of five nods of approval was hard to get before the referendum, though Lucente says that probably won't be a problem this time around.
"Some of the projects passed, some of them failed. So it was a compromise decision. So nobody really had it right on the council," says Lucente, who's ready to set his sights on the projects down the road. "I work for the voters, and the voters voted for this. So I'm going to do what the voters want me to do."
The city council has scheduled a public hearing for Monday, January 14, for issuing bonds to the fire substation project, library improvement project, and the stormwater management improvements. They plan to vote after receiving the community's feedback.

With or Without Bashir, Sudan's Status Quo Unsustainable
On June 16, students at the University of Khartoum, the capital of Sudan, began protesting against austerity measures enacted by the government of President Omar al-Bashir. Now staging near-daily protests, the students, along with their fellow demonstrators, are calling for the fall of Bashir, who took power in a 1989 coup, and his National Congress Party (NCP). Sudanese security forces have responded forcefully to the protests, drawing international concern. Observers inside and outside Sudan, meanwhile, wonder whether the protests might force Bashir to step down. Whether or not Bashir endures these protests, their intensity demonstrates the unsustainability of the political and economic status quo in Sudan.
Sudan's economic woes, a major driver of the protests, stem largely from the loss of South Sudan, which gained independence in July 2011. South Sudan produces approximately 75 percent of the oil once controlled by Sudan, but the pipeline and port infrastructure connecting the oil fields to the international market remains in Khartoum's hands. Negotiations between the two states have failed to resolve their differences over the transit fees that Sudan wants to charge South Sudan for using its pipeline. In January, after Sudan began seizing some of South Sudan's oil as payment, South Sudan halted its oil production. Lacking the transit fees it had expected to collect, the government in Khartoum faces a budgetary deficit of $2.4 billion. ...

A little about me...
Fun loving, spirited lady looking for a partner in crime. I believe in Mother Nature and Peter Pan. I favor moving objects...tennis balls, bicycles, swings, sailboats...or any kind of boat for that matter. I'm an old school romantic and believe in faith, family and friends. For me there is nothing that a good laugh, a day on the water or a night out dancing can't cure.
About the one I'm looking for...
The person who captures my interest will share my adventurous spirit. He is intelligent, self confident, has a high degree of integrity and somewhat traditional values. He enjoys football sundays, the NY Times, and just about anything live...sports, music, theater . Kids and dogs a plus.
I'd just like to add...
I think the key ingredients to a good relationship are communication, respect, and having fun together.

(LifeScript Health News) Men with erectile dysfunction (ED) are 80% more likely to develop heart disease, according to a new study by the Mayo Clinic. Researchers also found that men age 40 to 49 with ED are twice as likely to develop heart disease than men without dysfunction.
The cause is unknown, but researchers theorize that both conditions may share an underlying problem: The build-up of plaque that blocks heart arteries may also be plugging the penile arteries. The ED–heart disease link was also found in men in their 50s, 60s and 70s.
The findings suggest there is a "window of curability" in which heart disease can be treated. ED could be an indicator of increased risk of coronary disease.
Similar conclusions were found in two earlier studies.

'Special relationship': Oracle bags UK.gov contract renewal
Database giant Oracle has bagged a renewed contract to supply its technology to Whitehall in a deal that the Cabinet Office claimed would save £75m for taxpayers by 2015. The California multinational is one of the biggest provider's to government, Francis Maude's department said when announcing the agreement this morning. It …
so what happened
To the promise from Cameron that smaller businesses will have the opportunity to bid for contracts for government departments?
Are the tender rules so written that only big business can tick all the boxes?
Easy to exclude the 'little people' by moving the goal posts.
Re: so what happened
Um, not sure which small businesses you would mean here. There are smaller players but the trouble is the big boys have a habit of buying them up once they get to a certain size. I'm not sure you'll find a viable small company that supplies enterprise database software anyway, there are some in the applications and collaboration arena who compete quite successfully with MS and Oracle.
The other thing is that you quite often need to get applications accredited to common criteria standards, and small companies can't afford that. When your department says all IT products must be evaluated to EAL 4, regardless of appropriateness, well...
Trouble with the big boys and applications is that they market leaders and turn them into also rans.
It will be interesting to see how the new model affects those departments with universal licences which give unlimited usage for database and middleware products.
Re: so what happened?
But Oracle is a smaller business as far as the Government is concerned.
April 1st already?
"Today's deal will mean that the government acts as a single, intelligent client, ... "
Govt is an intelligent client? This made my day.

Every year, the glittering lights and unique experience of Broadway lures Hollywood actors to the East Coast; some are veterans of the stage and others are making their Broadway debut. Bryan Cranston (Breaking Bad), James Franco (This is the End) and Chris O'Dowd (Bridesmaids) all made their Broadway debuts earlier this year, with O'Dowd receiving a Tony nomination for Of Mice and Men and Cranston winning a Tony for All The Way. Neil Patrick Harris (How I Met Your Mother), who hadn't been on Broadway since his 2004 run in Assassins, scored his first Tony nomination and win for Hedwig and the Angry Inch this summer.
The Broadway lineup for the end of the year hosts a number of Hollywood actors making their Broadway debuts, and they are joined by an illustrious group of Broadway vets returning to the stage.

Rupert Grint, best known for playing Ron Weasley in the Harry Potter series, will be making his Broadway stage debut in the comedy It's Only A Play.
Rupert Grint's Broadway Debut
In Terrence McNally's play, Grint will play prodigy director Frank Finger, who is bringing to life a script by a fragile-nerved writer in need of some positive reviews played by Matthew Broderick, reported Entertainment Weekly. A lot rests on Frank's ability to put together a performance for opening night that will launch the struggling writer back into critical success.
Nathan Lane is joining forces on stage once again with Broderick – with whom he starred in The Producers – as his character's best friend. Will and Grace actress Megan Mullally is playing the play's producer, Stockard Channing will play the leading lady, and Homeland's F. Murray Abraham will act as a notorious critic. Micah Stock, »

New York - It goes without saying that Broadway actors are rarely able to reprise their roles in the movie versions of stage musicals they've starred in. For every Anthony Rapp in "Rent," Rita Moreno in "West Side Story" or Nathan Lane and Matthew Broderick in "The Producers" there are countless other films that didn't even consider actors who played the same role on the stage. Usually it's just too risky for Hollywood execs to fund a musical without some old fashioned movie starpower on board (it's still considered a risky proposition). Don't tell that to Clint Eastwood, however. The Academy Award-winning director of "Million Dollar Baby" and "Unforgiven" did the unthinkable with his movie adaptation of the Tony Award-winning smash "Jersey Boys": he cast actors who'd previously played their roles in the stage musical in the movie. Well, three out of the four leads, at least. "Jersey" features John Lloyd Young, »

Nathan Lane never turns off his sense of humor, one of many reasons that he is this year's recipient of the Peter Ustinov Comedy Award at the Banff World Media Festival. "I'm always thrilled when anyone wants to give me an award," Lane says. "Although I somehow think there's been a horrible mistake."
Lane, who began his career as a stand-up comedian but has since worked in TV, film and theater, has a longstanding passion for life on the stage. Musicals and plays, such as "The Odd Couple," have given the Tony Award winner an opportunity to play deeper, grittier characters as he has on CBS' "The Good Wife."
"It's reminded people that I do more than comedy," Lane says. "No one's offering me anything of that kind of depth or complexity in film … which is certainly one of the reasons I love the theater so much. »

Rocky Winter Garden Theatre, NYC
Turning successful motion pictures into Broadway musicals has become the norm in recent years. Whether the iconic 1976 Sylvester Stallone film, Rocky, was a movie that cried out for a musical adaptation is open to question. But, Rocky has arrived on Broadway and, somewhat like its title character, the musical has a bit of a bumpy road but is triumphant in the end. Rocky, of course, tells the story of the small time, well meaning Philadelphia boxer, Rocky Balboa, his romance with meek girl friend Adrian, and his improbable chance to fight for the heavyweight championship.
Some top Broadway professionals have brought Rocky to the stage. The book is written by Stallone along with Thomas Meehan, the three time Tony Award winner, who wrote Annie, The Producers, and Hairspray, and many more Broadway musicals. The score comes from lyricist Lynn Ahrens and composer Stephen Flaherty, who »

Fort A.P. Hill gets new leaders
More than 100 people came out to celebrate the changing leadership at Fort A.P. Hill near Bowling Green in an emotional ceremony that honored outgoing service members and their families.
The Change of Command and Change of Responsibility ceremonies Friday in Beaverdam Field marked the end of Lt. Col. Peter Dargle's and Command Sgt. Maj. Keith Whitcomb's tenure at the installation as they ceremonially passed on their duties to Lt. Col. David Meyer and Command Sgt. Maj. Weiquan Ho, respectively.
The Fort Lee 392nd Army Band performed at the ceremony, which was narrated by Jay Poirier, director of plans, training and mobilization at the fort.
Both Dargle and Meyer delivered short speeches thanking colleagues and families for their continued support.
Dargle also issued a challenge, of sorts, to the incoming command by requesting their dedication in completing "the tasks we have so passionately worked for" and not to back down from challenges.
In addition to formally finishing out their duties, the Dargle and Whitcomb families received red rose bouquets in full bloom to commemorate their relationship with the fort. The Meyer and Ho families received bouquets of yellow rosebuds to signify their new relationships, which Poirier said "will bloom in time."
Additional remarks were given by Maj. Gen. Jeffrey Buchanan, commanding general of the joint force headquarters in the national capital region, and Davis Tindoll Jr., Atlantic regional director of installation management command for the U.S. Army.
Dargle and his family will move to Fort Riley, Kan., where he will operate as the executive officer of the Fourth Brigade Combat Team for the First Infantry Division.
Whitcomb will move on to Fort Leavenworth, Kan., where he will work as an instructor.
Distinguished civilian guests in attendance included Davis Tindoll Jr., Atlantic region director Port Royal Mayor Nancy Long, Bill Hession, chairman of the Fredericksburg Military Affairs Council, and various officials from the town of Bowling Green and Caroline, Essex and Spotsylvania counties.
Fort A.P. Hill, one of the largest U.S. Army installations on the East Coast, is a regional training center for service members. In a fort pamphlet from 1995, it coined its own motto: "Where America sharpens its combat edge."
In his remarks, Maj. Gen. Buchanan called out those duties as a reason why Fort A.P. Hill remains more important than ever.
"The strength of this nation is our army; the strength of this army is our soldiers; the strength of the soldiers are our families," Buchanan said, "and that's what makes us 'Army Strong.'"
