Aw, such a sweet little guy. He looks sad, but I think he might just be comfy, and in his favorite spot to watch the world go by. I think we all need a spot like that.

I am happy as a clam when I am being creative. Writing for this blog, expressing myself through haiku poetry, exploring nature and life through zen eyes, and dabbling in various art mediums, makes my spirit sing.
cute and adorable lil face …. precious
Isn't he though?
Awww … he's adorable! And it looks like he's got a great spot to watch the world go by :)
Sweet little pup. He kind of looks like a Schnauzer, such wonderful dogs with character, as ours was!
He could be day-dreaming, hoping to see a squirrel or bunny romp by! Then he'll be jumping with excitement!
sweet, looks very comfy
Sadness is a perception. I'm sure this little dog have lots of love! ;)
Very sweet!!
Aww! He does look rather forlorn. Hope he is just dozing off.
Beautiful photographs. I am greeting
Aw what a handsome fellow. There's a forlorn look about him. Perhaps he's waiting for his master or some one to let him out doors to take-care-of-business. Great photos. You did a great job capturing emotion as well as a comfortable pooch. :)
he is patiently waiting, for ??, lovely shot margie, MJ
That's a great moment captured with photos, Margie!
What a beautiful post my friend full of expressions :)
I think he is waiting for his owner(s) should be alone at home… These are so lovely photographs dear Margie, I loved so much. Thank you, Love, nia
I notice that the ears are up to take in any special sound the world may be making. What a sweetie. Thanks for sharing.
Great shot of this adorable little dog!
He may just be sleepy in the sun, Dido and Daisy have a spot like that where they doze in between cat watching :-)
Awwww…he does look very comfy and contemplative. So cute!
Nice capture. A sweet and expressive look :)
amen. :)
Awww! For sure Margie, we all need a comfy spot to just "be" and look at the good stuff around us!

Happy Valentine's Day, readers!
Looking for a way to impress your health-conscious date? Want to indulge in the holiday's best offerings while avoiding a food coma? Here's a wine-and-chocolate fix that won't leave you feeling sleepy and ill. These healthy vegan options will leave you with enough energy to party till dawn. XOXO
10-Minute Vegan Chocolate Mousse (from LookbookCookbook)
Silky, creamy, chocolatey, gluten-free, and vegan. Yum. Serves two.
3/4 cup canned coconut milk
1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
1 tablespoon pure maple syrup or agave
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
Shake the can of coconut milk before you open it–coconut milk usually separates somewhat in the can. Mix coconut milk and chocolate chips in a saucepan, and simmer over medium-low heat, stirring to make sure the chocolate chips are melting.
Turn down the heat and add the maple syrup/agave and vanilla extract. Keep stirring until the chocolate is completely melted.
Remove from heat and let cool for a couple of minutes. Pour into two pretty glasses and refrigerate for a few hours until it thickens up.
Antioxidant-Powered Red Wine Smoothie
Boozy and antioxidant? Sign me up! You can use fresh or frozen berries with this recipe. If you use fresh, throw in a handful of ice to get that smoothie consistency, and add a bit more wine to counteract the ice.
1/2 cups red wine
1 cup strawberries
1/2 cup raspberries
1/2 cup blackberries
Agave or honey to taste
and IF YOU'RE FEELING SASSY: a handful of greens
Blend all ingredients together. Taste–is it sweet enough? Too tart? Add more agave or honey. Boozy enough? Splash in more wine. No judgment here.
If you wanted to top with a few shavings of dark chocolate, I think everyone would be cool with that.

The Eye of the World: The Graphic Novel, Volume 1
|Written by James and Stephan on Oct 31, 2011 | 6 comments | Forum Discussion
|Filed under: 2011, Adaptations, Chase Conley, Dynamite, Epic Fantasy, Male Protaganist, Reviews, Robert Jordan, Series, Suspense, Tor, World Building
When the graphic novel adaption of New Spring, the prequel to the epic Wheel of Time series, was released on January 18th, it was well received here at the Ranting Dragon. Having loved that, we're even more thrilled to be able to review the first volume of The Eye of the World Graphic Novel, the comic adaption of the first novel in The Wheel of Time series.
An aesthetic beauty
This absolutely stunning hardcover does The Eye of the World justice. The characters shown on the front—Rand, Mat and Perrin—are only part of a full scene that can be fully viewed when you unfold the dust-jacket and see Nynaeve, Egwene, Tam, Moiraine, Thom and Lan as well. It's a truly amazing piece of art—one worthy of framing on any wall. Underneath the dust jacket, you'll find a relief of the Wheel of Time symbol—the Wheel and the serpent biting its own tail—which is a very nice touch.
Doing the novel justice
We opened the book with very high hopes, and we weren't disappointed. This first volume in The Eye of the World Graphic Novel opens with the Ravens prologue found in the young adult version of The Eye of the World and not released in the adult version, which was a very nice surprise. With the additional prologue, as well as an introduction to The Wheel of Time series from Robert Jordan himself—written before his death—new readers to the series won't feel as lost as they might have starting The Eye of the World novel.
Absolutely no scene, no matter how inconsequential, is left out, from Mat and Rand taking the caskets of wine into the basement of the Inn, to seeing a raven that appears to be spying on them and Moiraine subsequently showing up, to the attack on Rand and Tam's farm—where Narg, the talking trolloc, makes an appearance. Even Moiraine's telling of Manetheren's history was given due attention. In the grand scheme of things, this scene plays such a minor role; yet it is a fan favorite, and one of our favorite scenes in the entire series. This part actually works out rather well in the comic, and Robert Jordan would likely have appreciated how true to the original story this graphic novel remains, not leaving any bit out, no matter how hard to translate the images may have been.
A small warning!
One thing for fans of The Wheel of Time to keep in mind before reading the graphic novel, however, is that this is the first time that the characters have ever been drawn to be mass-marketed in the twenty-one years since The Eye of the World was first released. Unfortunately, some of these drawings might not live up to the pictures in your head. However, they are drawn consistently, and an exquisite amount of detail is rendered in these pages, so we might as well cut the artist, Chase Conley, some slack, especially considering that he had the absolute approval of The Jordan Estate.
Obviously, we had our preferences as well. For example, Thom looks like a fragile and grumpy hippie. We have always pictured him with longer hair, and while his attitude seems completely spot on, the drawings just don't match up with how we pictured him for so many years. The style in which Moiraine is drawn provided a big problem for us as well. She doesn't seem to embody the Aes Sedai presence that she so clearly possesses in the novels. Her height, while accurate, was depicted in such a way that made her seem small and submissive, contrary to the novels. Some of her facial expressions were so very unlike Moiraine and a tad demeaning to the character. Tam, on the other hand, was absolutely amazingly drawn. He seemed very well-represented—the perfect image of a grizzled war veteran who has now settled down to life as a shepherd.
An improvement upon New Spring
Unlike the art of New Spring, which was for the most part lively and colorful, The Eye of the World is dark, perfectly capturing the atmosphere of the story. Some minor details were missing for die-hard fans like myself, such as the heron marks on Rand's sword when it's first introduced, even though it's discussed later on. That doesn't diminish the masterful skill with which this story was drawn onto the pages, however. This is further enhanced by the fact that the same artists worked on the entire graphic novel. Where New Spring had characters that were drawn in a different style every other chapter, the art in The Eye of the World provides us with continuity and consistency.
Epic bonus materials
The bonus materials at the end of this volume are simply amazing. Chase Conley's sketchbook features a lot of characters that we won't see for another volume or two—if not longer—but the initial sketches being included here further increases the anticipation for future volumes. It is definitely hard to pick out a favorite from the twenty-six character sketches, but it was impressive to see how many were included. The second part of the bonus materials—the cover gallery—is also absolutely stunning. You get to view every cover that was released for the individual issues, and they're all impressive. These images don't come directly from the story, but are nonetheless stunning – just take a look at the example on the right.
Why should you read this novel?
Overall, The Eye of the World Graphic Novel absolutely did the first part of the book justice. The characters are literally brought to life right in front of you, and the script doesn't detract from Jordan's marvelous storytelling. This comic comes together perfectly, from the surprising prologue to the marvelous cut-off at the end, complete with cliffhanger. This comic adaption of The Wheel of Time is a great addition to the collection of any fan of the series, as well as a decent starting point for those that wish to start the series in a lighter way. We definitely cannot wait for the next volume, which is coming in June 2012.

On to this fabulous new set, à la modes You are Unrepeatable. Seriously, how fabulous is this girl? I love her! I stamped the image on a piece of X-Press It card stock. I colored the image with Copics and I paper pieced her shirt.
I used the gorgeous new Razzle Berry and Blue Raspberry card stock along with some prints from My Mind's Eye Lime Twist paper. I used a number of fabulous Die-namics on this card. Die-namics Hearts a Plenty, Die-namics Stacking Stars and Die-namics Musical Notes. On the inside of the card I used the new Die-namics First Place Ribbon Award for the sentiment.
Be sure to check out all the eye candy from the Design Team on Kim's blog.

Who? Played Ponch on NBC's ''ChiPs,'' which ''Surreal Life'''s narrator helpfully explains was ''one of the highest-rated shows of the '70s''
Career high point People magazine named him one of the 10 sexiest bachelors of 1979.
Downfall Two years later, he left ''ChiPs'' in a salary dispute, and pretty much disappeared. By the early '90s, he resurfaced on a Mexican soap opera, despite his inability to speak Spanish.
Surreal moments Adjusts his signature hair helmet with a single tug. Forms a close bond with Vanilla Ice. Takes the only nice bedroom in the house. Feels bad and gives it to Tammy Faye.
Surreal quote ''It was better than being buried alive,'' Estrada says of his telenovela career.
Trishelle says ''Love him, but he worried too much about me. He was concerned about my drinking.''

This new online format enables authors to include sound and film files and photomedia within their articles, enlarging the journal's scope into fields of historical documentation, such as cinema or music history, previously limited by print publishing.
This online form of East Asian History is a collaboration between The Australian Centre on China in the World at the Australian National University and the Leiden University Institute of Area Studies at Leiden University in The Netherlands, and is jointly edited by Remco Breuker (Leiden) and Benjamin Penny (ANU). The editorial board comprises three scholars from each university: Geremie R. Barmé (ANU), Katarzyna Cwiertka (Leiden), Roald Maliangkay (ANU), Ivo Smits (Leiden), Tessa Morris-Suzuki (ANU) and Barend ter Haar (Leiden).
East Asian History was published in print from 1991 to 2008 (issues 1-36), and was edited by Geremie R. Barmé (to 2007), and Benjamin Penny (from 2007). The journal's predecessor, Papers on Far Eastern History, was published by The Australian National University's Research School of Pacific and Asian Studies from 1970 to 1990. When Papers on Far Eastern History became East Asian History the new journal employed an original and striking format that the new online version of the journal has adapted and developed in the new medium.
East Asian History will be published twice each year. Articles published in the journal are submitted to double-blind peer review unless otherwise stated. Final selection of papers is at the discretion of the editors.

Hertz and Pelavin: "Imam Mohammed's perseverant struggle to guide his followers in traditional and open-minded Sunni practice garnered worldwide respect not just from Muslims but from people of all creeds."
Contact Kate Bigam202.387.2800 | firstname.lastname@example.com
WASHINGTON, D.C., SEPT. 10 – In response to the death of Imam W.D. Mohammed, former leader of the Nation of Islam, Judith Hertz, co-Chair of the Commission on Interreligious Affairs of Reform Judaism and Mark Pelavin, Director of the Commission on Interreligious Affairs, issued the following statement:
Today we mourn the loss of Imam Warith Deen Mohammed, a powerful advocate for peace and unity amongst all races and religions. Following the death of his father in 1975, Imam Mohammed took over as leader of the Nation of Islam, then known as a racial supremacy organization that adhered to ideas of black separatism. Under Imam Mohammed's leadership, however, many of the organization's followers instead refocused their efforts on Islam's teachings of racial tolerance, striving to promote understanding and harmony.
In 1995, the Union for Reform Judaism and the National Council of Mosques convened in Glencoe, IL, for one of the first major Muslim-Jewish dialogues in the country. Imam Mohammed, a keynote speaker, spoke alongside Rabbi Alexander Schindler, former President of the URJ, and the two became fast friends, publicly dialoguing about the need for Muslims and Jews to work together.
Imam Mohammed's perseverant struggle to guide his followers in traditional and open-minded Sunni practice garnered worldwide respect not just from Muslims but from people of all creeds.
With admiration and esteem, we remember Imam Mohammed's devotion to pursuing racial and spiritual harmony. May his memory be a blessing, and may we, as a nation, continue to make progress toward the ideals to which he dedicated so much of his life.
The Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism is the Washington office of the Union for Reform Judaism, whose more than 900 congregations across North America encompass 1.5 million Reform Jews, and the Central Conference of American Rabbis, whose membership includes more than 1800 Reform rabbis.

Released by FDA: 11/16/06. Posted by FDA: 11/20/06
James L. Gaskill, PharmD
The Division of Drug Marketing, Advertising, and Communications (DDMAC) of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has reviewed a professional sales aid (238110) for Seroquel® (quetiapine fumarate) tablets (Seroquel) submitted by AstraZeneca under cover of Form FDA 2253. This piece is false or misleading because it minimizes the risk of hyperglycemia and diabetes mellitus and fails to communicate important information regarding neuroleptic malignant syndrome, tardive dyskinesia, and the bolded cataracts precaution. Thus, the promotional material misbrands the drug in violation of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act), 21 U.S.C. §§ 352(a) & 321(n). Cf. 21 CFR 202.1(e)(6)(i). The promotional material raises significant public health and safety concerns through its minimization of the risks associated with Seroquel.
According to its FDA-approved product labeling (PI), Seroquel is indicated for the treatment of acute manic episodes associated with bipolar I disorder, as either monotherapy or adjunct therapy to lithium or divalproex and for the treatment of schizophrenia.
The PI includes important warnings and precautions. It states (in pertinent part):
Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome (NMS)
A potentially fatal symptom complex sometimes referred to as Neuroleptic Malignant Syndrome (NMS) has been reported in association with administration of antipsychotic drugs, including SEROQUEL. Rare cases of NMS have been reported with SEROQUEL. Clinical manifestations of NMS are hyperpyrexia, muscle rigidity, altered mental status, and evidence of autonomic instability (irregular pulse or blood pressure, tachycardia, diaphoresis, and cardiac dysrhythmia). Additional signs may include elevated creatine phosphokinase, myoglobinuria (rhabdomyolysis), and acute renal failure.
The diagnostic evaluation of patients with this syndrome is complicated. In arriving at a diagnosis, it is important to exclude cases where the clinical presentation includes both serious medical illness (e.g., pneumonia, systemic infection, etc.) and untreated or inadequately treated extrapyramidal signs and symptoms (EPS). Other important considerations in the differential diagnosis include central anticholinergic toxicity, heat stroke, drug fever, and primary central nervous system (CNS) pathology.
The management of NMS should include: 1) immediate discontinuation of antipsychotic drugs and other drugs not essential to concurrent therapy; 2) intensive symptomatic treatment and medical monitoring; and 3) treatment of any concomitant serious medical problems for which specific treatments are available. There is no general agreement about specific pharmacological treatment regimens for NMS.
If a patient requires antipsychotic drug treatment after recovery from NMS, the potential reintroduction of drug therapy should be carefully considered. The patient should be carefully monitored since recurrences of NMS have been reported.
Tardive Dyskinesia
The risk of developing tardive dyskinesia and the likelihood that it will become irreversible are believed to increase as the duration of treatment and the total cumulative dose of antipsychotic drugs administered to the patient increase. However, the syndrome can develop, although much less commonly, after relatively brief treatment periods at low doses.
There is no known treatment for established cases of tardive dyskinesia, although the syndrome may remit, partially or completely, if antipsychotic treatment is withdrawn. Antipsychotic treatment, itself, however, may suppress (or partially suppress) the signs and symptoms of the syndrome and thereby may possibly mask the underlying process. The effect that symptomatic suppression has upon the long-term course of the syndrome is unknown.
Given these considerations, SEROQUEL should be prescribed in a manner that is most likely to minimize the occurrence of tardive dyskinesia. Chronic antipsychotic treatment should generally be reserved for patients who appear to suffer from a chronic illness that (1) is known to respond to antipsychotic drugs, and (2) for whom alternative, equally effective, but potentially less harmful treatments are not available or appropriate. In patients who do require chronic treatment, the smallest dose and the shortest duration of treatment producing a satisfactory clinical response should be sought. The need for continued treatment should be reassessed periodically.
If signs and symptoms of tardive dyskinesia appear in a patient on SEROQUEL, drug discontinuation should be considered. However, some patients may require treatment with SEROQUEL despite the presence of the syndrome.
Hyperglycemia and Diabetes Mellitus
Patients with an established diagnosis of diabetes mellitus who are started on atypical antipsychotics should be monitored regularly for worsening of glucose control. Patients with risk factors for diabetes mellitus (eg, obesity, family history of diabetes) who are starting treatment with atypical antipsychotics should undergo fasting blood glucose testing at the beginning of treatment and periodically during treatment. Any patient treated with atypical antipsychotics should be monitored for symptoms of hyperglycemia including polydipsia, polyuria, polyphagia, and weakness. Patients who develop symptoms of hyperglycemia during treatment with atypical antipsychotics should undergo fasting blood glucose testing. In some cases, hyperglycemia has resolved when the atypical antipsychotic was discontinued; however, some patients required continuation of anti-diabetic treatment despite discontinuation of the suspect drug.
Orthostatic Hypotension
After reviewing the available data pertaining to the use of atypical antipsychotic medications and diabetes mellitus adverse events, FDA asked all manufacturers of atypical antipsychotics to include a warning in their PI regarding this risk on September 11, 2003. FDA believes that the safe use of Seroquel can be enhanced by informing prescribers and patients about these events and increased attention to the signs and symptoms of diabetes mellitus may lead to earlier detection and appropriate treatment and thus reduce the risk for the most serious outcomes. The PI including the hyperglycemia and diabetes mellitus warning for Seroquel was approved on January 12, 2004.
Misleading Presentation
Page two of the professional sales aid starts with a prominent header, which states "Diabetes Information," and then presents the following five bullets:
The first two bullets contain information from the Warning in Seroquel's PI regarding Hyperglycemia and Diabetes Mellitus concerning the observed hyperglycemic events and the areas of uncertainty about the glucose abnormality findings. While the agency acknowledges that it has not been established whether Seroquel causes diabetes, you fail to include information regarding the increased risk of treatment-emergent hyperglycemia-related adverse events in patients treated with atypical antipsychotics. The increased risk may be due to confounding factors and is not completely understood, but a warning about it was recently added to Seroquel's PI to enhance the safe use of Seroquel and protect public health. Because your bullets about the relationship between the use of Seroquel and hyperglycemia leave out this information, the bullets are misleading and undermine the warning.
Furthermore, the fourth bullet claims that the percentage of diabetes or diabetes-related events in post-marketing reports is "very rare (<0.01 %) with Seroquel." In light of the voluntary nature of post-marketing adverse event reporting by healthcare professionals and patients, it is infeasible to obtain an accurate percentage of all diabetes or diabetes-related adverse events associated with Seroquel based upon these reports. Therefore, quantifying post-marketing adverse events in this manner is misleading.
Omission of Material Facts
Promotional materials are misleading if they fail to reveal facts that are material in light of the representations made or with respect to consequences that may result from the use of the drug as recommended or suggested in the materials. Specifically, the professional sales aid fails to include relevant risk information about the Warnings and Precautions that it presents. While the professional sales aid states that "Prescribing should be consistent with the need to minimize the risk of tardive dyskinesia," it fails to reveal that the risk of developing the condition and the likelihood that it will become irreversible are believed to increase as the duration of treatment and the total cumulative dose of antipsychotic drugs administered increase. The sales aid also fails to mention that the syndrome may partially or completely remit if antipsychotic treatment is withdrawn. Additionally, the professional sales aid states that "A rare condition referred to as neuroleptic malignant syndrome has been reported with this class of medications, including SEROQUEL." This statement is misleading in that it fails to reveal that NMS is a potentially fatal symptom complex associated with the administration of Seroquel. Furthermore, the professional sales aid fails to convey the important information from the PI regarding the clinical manifestations of NMS and that management of NMS should include immediate discontinuation of antipsychotic drugs.
The professional sales aid states that "Precautions include the risk of seizures, orthostatic hypotension, and cataract development." This statement is misleading because it omits material facts from the PI about these risks. In particular, it fails to mention important information from the bolded cataracts precaution recommending that physicians examine all patients at initiation of Seroquel treatment or shortly thereafter, and at six month intervals during chronic treatment, to detect cataract formation.
Conclusion and Requested Action
For the reasons discussed above, the professional sales aid misbrands Seroquel in violation of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act), 21 U.S.C. §§ 352(a) & 321(n). Cf. 21 CFR 202.1(e)(6)(i).
DDMAC requests that AstraZeneca immediately cease the dissemination of violative promotional materials for Seroquel such as those described above. Please submit a written response to this letter on or before November 30, 2006, stating whether you intend to comply with this request, listing all violative promotional materials for Seroquel the same as or similar to those described above, and explaining your plan for discontinuing use of such materials. Please direct your response to me at the Food and Drug Administration, Center for Drug Evaluation and Research, Division of Drug Marketing, Advertising, and Communications, 5901-B Ammendale Road, Beltsville, MD 20705-1266, or facsimile at 301-796-9878. In all future correspondence regarding this matter, please refer to MACMIS # 14670 in addition to the NDA number. We remind you that only written communications are considered official. If you choose to revise your promotional materials, DDMAC is willing to assist you with your revised materials by commenting on your revisions before you use them in promotion.
The violations discussed in this letter do not necessarily constitute an exhaustive list. It is your responsibility to ensure that your promotional materials for Seroquel comply with each applicable requirement of the Act and FDA implementing regulations.
Failure to correct the violations discussed above may result in FDA
regulatory action, including seizure or injunction, without further notice.

Remember James your my long lost brother!
Why not look at some job adds to see the skills they require then go away , look at the courses and see which one is a fit. You'll need to gain the relevant knowledge, no one will employ you on the basis of a qualifcation alone. Also you may need to start off below system admin.
One of the problems is not the interview process but the selection process. I have seen some good people fall by the wayside because it is standard company / school / college policy to ask for certain things. Sometimes Certs are a way of getting your foot in the door or simply letting you shine out. If the schools is looking for 6 candidates to take to interview (and they expect 1 or 2 to pull out or not turn up) then how do you shine out from the 40+ applicants they have had?
The thing that always hampers me in these is either the degree thing or not being a qualified teacher. I know that long term I will need a degree to progress down certain lines ... but it is not the be all and end all of things. Other Certs ... I had a chat recently with someone (and now regretting not taking their offer) who asked me about Certs ... I told them that if they wanted me to learn about implementing a specific technology I would do, I would take 3 months to get up to the required standard, during which I would also be asking the advice of others who are doing it already, and learning from experience. My two greatest assets are to be able to learn quickly, and to have a fantastic network of professionals who can give help and advice.
If you can prove you can learn quickly, adapt, plan and communicate then that will do wonders for you ... but you have to learn to shine ... either through Certs or a wonderful CV (or both).

Use this as a demonstration or as a hands-on activity for students.
Radioactive atoms emitting beta particles will change into the element which is one atomic number higher, but they will have the same atomic mass as before.
In this exercise, a zip-close plastic bag represents the nucleus of an atom and holds representation for protons and neutrons. If the atom is stable, zip the bag closed. If atom is radioactive, bag is left open to emit ionizing radiation (alpha particles, beta particles and/or gamma rays).
Activity Materials:
Preparing the Marshmallows
Note: If you keep the marshmallows in a cool, dry place or place a packet of silica gel into the zipper-type plastic bag with your marshmallows, your "atoms" will last for several years.
Suggestion – make the protons PINK – because Pink Protons are Positive.
Put in plastic bags, i.e., 7 neutrons (yellow) and 7 protons (pink) = nitrogen.
1) How many positively charged marshmallows (protons) are in the bag? (Do not count the one whose positive sign is partially covered by the mini-marshmallow!) This is the atomic number of the atom.
2) What element is represented by this model?
3) How many neutral particles are in the bag? (You do count the particle where positive and negative charges cancel each other out!)
4) What is the atomic mass of this atom? (Each large marshmallow equals 1 atomic mass unit, regardless of charge.)
5) After Step 7: What is the atomic number of the atom now?
6) After Step 7: What element does the atomic model represent now?
7) After Step 7: What is the atomic mass of the atom now?

Acquisition Workforce:
Federal Agencies Obtain Training to Meet Requirements, but Have Limited Insight into Costs and Benefits of Training Investment

What GAO Found
The Office of Federal Procurement Policy (OFPP) sets standards and policies for the federal acquisition workforce, and has established certification requirements, including minimal training, for the three main acquisition roles--contracting staff, Contracting Officer's Representatives, and Program/Project Managers--to promote the development of government-wide core acquisition competencies and facilitate mobility across agencies. DOD follows separate certification standards. The Federal Acquisition Institute (FAI), which is responsible for fostering and promoting the training and development of the acquisition workforce, works closely with OFPP and has initiatives underway to improve the collection and management of training information, including cost data and course evaluations; streamline communication of acquisition training guidance; and coordinate efforts to leverage acquisition workforce training resources throughout the government.
To support efforts for the acquisition workforce to attain and maintain federal certification requirements, most agencies (17 of 23) provide the majority of their acquisition training using external sources--vendors, FAI, the Defense Acquisition University, or other agencies. The Departments of Homeland Security (DHS), the Treasury, and Veterans Affairs (VA) operate their own permanent centers with dedicated resources that train the agency's acquisition workforce. Education reported using a different approach to providing acquisition training--it gets most of its training from other government entities. Federal agencies face similar challenges in providing training to their acquisition workforce. The top challenges reported by agencies in obtaining training for their acquisition workforce involved having sufficient resources. Twenty of 23 agencies identified obtaining adequate funding and 19 of 23 identified obtaining sufficient staff to manage training as challenging. In addition, almost half of the agencies reported that the fundamental step of identifying the acquisition workforce is a challenge especially when members of the workforce are involved in acquisitions as a secondary and not primary duty.
The training cost data that agencies collect is not comparable and agencies have limited information on the benefits of their acquisition workforce training investments. Although almost all agencies provided some cost data in response to GAO's questionnaire and subsequent data call, the agencies' cost data did not allow for government-wide assessment of their training investment. To date, FAI's efforts to collect training cost data has also met with limited success. Cost data collected in 2012 by GAO and FAI included different cost components-- such as facilities, travel, and instructors--which do not allow for government-wide analysis. Having comparable training cost data are important to inform FAI efforts to establish government-wide contracts for training. As for determining benefits of training, 7 of 23 federal agencies reported having no metrics, not even basic endof- course evaluations. Without basic data, agencies do not have insight into the benefits of their acquisition workforce training efforts.
Why GAO Did This Study
The acquisition workforce manages and oversees billions of dollars in acquisition programs and contracts to help federal agencies get what they need, at the right time, and at a reasonable price; therefore, it is important that agencies provide adequate training to this workforce. In this review, GAO identified (1) the role of OFPP and the FAI in assisting agencies in meeting certification requirements; (2) agencies' approaches to providing training; and (3) the extent to which agencies collect information on the costs and benefits of their acquisition training. To determine OFPP and the FAI roles, GAO analyzed relevant legislation. GAO obtained information from 23 federal agencies on their training approaches through a questionnaire, and selected 4 agencies--the Departments of Education and the Treasury, DHS, and VA--to provide illustrative examples. GAO used its questionnaire and a subsequent data call to obtain information on how agencies collect information on the costs and benefits of their training.
What GAO Recommends
GAO recommends that OFPP help ensure that agencies collect and report comparable cost data and assess the benefits of acquisition training by (1) providing further guidance on the cost data agencies are to report annually, and (2) requiring agencies to analyze course evaluations, at a minimum, to help assess the benefits of training investments. OFPP concurred with the recommendations and indicated it has started to take actions to provide additional guidance.

Recommendations for Executive Action
Status: Open
Comments: In providing comments on this report, the agency concurred with this recommendation but has not yet taken actions necessary to implement it. However, in its August 2013 letter to the Congress, the Office of Managment and Budget stated that its Office of Federal Procurement Policy (OFPP) plans to work with Federal Acquisition Institute (FAI) and the agencies to determine the total training investment. As we reported, agencies did not collect cost data that is comparable, and FAI had also received limited cost data from the agencies in prior data calls. OFPP requested cost information from agencies in their FY2014 Acquisition Human Capital Plans (AHCP); however, the request was only for cost data on courses developed or provided by contractors. We will continue to follow-up on whether the costs of training develped or provided by federal employees is gathered in the future as well.
Recommendation: To help ensure that agencies collect and report comparable cost data and perform a minimal assessment of the benefits of their acquisition training investments to aid in the coordination and evaluation of the use of resources government-wide, the Director of the Office of Management and Budget should direct the Administrator of the Office of Federal Procurement Policy, in consultation with the Director of the Federal Acquisition Institute, to provide further guidance, including definitions, on the types of costs that agencies should include in their Acquisition Human Capital Plan submission to help determine total training investment.
Agency Affected: Executive Office of the President: Office of Management and Budget
Status: Open
Comments: In providing comments on this report, the agency concurred with this recommendation but has not yet taken actions necessary to implement it. However, in its August 2013 letter to the Congress, Office of Management and Budget (OMB) stated that its Office of Federal Procurement Policy (OFPP) is implementing modules in the Federal Acquisition Institute Training Application Systems (FAITAS), the system which is used by most agencies to register for much of the acquisition workforce training taken, that will require participants to complete an evaluation of each course. OMB also plans to require all agencies to use FAITAS to offer, track, and evaluate acquisition courses. OMB 9/3/13 Memorandum on Increasing Efficiencies in Acquisition Workforce Training did not discuss or require agencies to collect or analyze training evaluations. We will continue to follow-up to see when the collection of evaluation information is required, whether evaluation modules are implemented in FAITAs, and the results of the data collection, and how OFPP will ensure that agencies use the information.
Recommendation: To help ensure that agencies collect and report comparable cost data and perform a minimal assessment of the benefits of their acquisition training investments to aid in the coordination and evaluation of the use of resources government-wide, the Director of the Office of Management and Budget should direct the Administrator of the Office of Federal Procurement Policy, in consultation with the Director of the Federal Acquisition Institute, to require all agencies, at a minimum, to collect and analyze participant evaluations of all acquisition workforce training as a first step to help assess the effectiveness of their training investment.

Thief Trophy Guide
Welcome to PlayStation LifeStyle's trophy guide for Thief! This is a fairly simple yet time consuming Platinum. There are only 38 trophies in the game but there are a ton of collectibles to find. In addition to finding things, multiple playthroughs will be required to get this Plat. The A.I. in this game isn't very good, but that can be used to your advantage when sneaking around on your Master difficulty play-through. As long as you're in the shadows, you're basically invisible. Just make sure to keep some distance from the guards if they are looking directly at you. It also seems like they have no peripheral vision, so stay crouched, quiet and in the dark and you'll make it through this game pretty easily on Master difficulty. If you miss any trophies, don't worry, there's free roam after you've completed the game and all of the missions will be re-playable. The only missable trophy is More Heist Less Speed.
Spoiler Warning: There are spoilers in this guide. If you are trying to avoid spoilers, it's recommended that you complete the game before reading any further.
Man of Steal - Platinum
- The True Master Thief.
Follow this guide!
Obsessive Compulsive - Bronze
- Steal all loot and collectibles in a single chapter.
Loot is all of the shiny objects that you pick up as you play through the game. Loot can be a fork, spoon, letter opener, flask etc. Anything that you pick up and are given gold for is considered loot. This trophy is easiest completed on the first mission. The mission itself is short and there are only 60 items to pick up. Press up on the D-Pad and select Player Progression to check out how many you've collected during any mission.
Sleight of Hand - Bronze
- Pick 100 pockets in a single playthrough.
To pickpocket guards, you'll have to sneak up on them and hold Square to steal their pouches. Not every guard will carry a pouch, so be on the lookout and steal from any guard that has one. You can view your progress of how many you've stolen by pressing up on the D-Pad and going in the Overall statistics page under Player Progression.
Quickly Pick a Lucky Lock - Bronze
- Pick a lock with masterful speed.
This can be done on any lock you find throughout the game. When you find a lock, save the game manually before picking it. After you've done that, press Square to pick the lock. Find where you'll need to press R2 on each of the circles. When you know the L3 placement, reload your save and quickly pick the lock. If you fail, you can just reload your checkpoint until you get it.
Something to Prove - Gold
- Finish the game with a custom difficulty of 700 points or more.
You'll need to select "Start A New Game" at the Main Menu and then select "Custom" for the difficulty setting. Next, you'll be given a set of modifiers that you can turn on or off. Each one is assigned a set amount of points. You'll have to turn on modifiers until you reach over 700 points. There are a few options here you can turn on that will make it so that you earn an additional 3 trophies upon completing this difficulty. Set the difficulty to "Master" for the Hard Times trophy. Turn on "No Kills Or Knockouts" for the Moral Victory trophy. Turn on "No Focus" for the Clear Headed trophy. Next, make sure to not enable "Chapter Saves Only". With this off you'll be able to save your game as you play. With the aforementioned modifiers turned on, select whatever other modifiers you'd like. Just make sure to get your total over 700 points.
Master difficulty is not that difficult at all. Enemies are a little more aware and you'll take more damage. Stick to the shadows and stay crouched. The AI isn't that smart, even on Master, so if you are in the shadows, you're safe. Just stay directly out of their sight. Try to keep as many water arrows on you as possible. Shooting out torches will really help you get through the game. There are also many hidden passages or alternate routes in missions. So be on the look out for those as they will make some missions a lot easier by allowing you to bypass enemies. One other thing to do is save your game frequently as you are making your way through missions. This is basically like having as many checkpoints as you want and being able to use them when you want.
You'll be required to knock a guard out during the prologue. This will not count against your no knockout run. As for the boss fight in chapter 7, there are 2 valves you'll need to turn to open the door. After the 2 valves go to the door and pick the lock. Once the lock is picked, go out the door to finish the fight avoiding a kill of the boss.
Dark Archer – Bronze
- Complete 10 optional Thieving Challenges.
See the trophy Legend in Leather for more details.
Legend in Leather - Gold
- Complete 25 optional Thieving Challenges.
Thieving Challenges are optional objectives that can be completed during story and client missions. The objectives vary from mission to mission and will sometimes contradict each other, which will require you to play the missions multiple times. Press up on the D-Pad and go to the Statistics page under Player Progression to view how many you have completed and what you need to do to complete them.
Mint Condition - Bronze
- Finish 3 consecutive missions without taking damage.
This trophy isn't too difficult at all. If you are patient and stay hidden in the shadows, it will be no problem. Stealthily take out enemies or just sneak past em. Make sure to save your game as you progress. If you take any damage, you can reload your latest save file.
Focus on the Tasks at Hand - Bronze
- Pick a pocket and a lock using the focus ability.
Press Triangle to enter focus mode. Enter focus mode just before you start to pick a lock and just before you pickpocket someone.
Moral Victory - Gold
- Finish the game without a single kill or knockout.
See the trophy Something to Prove for more details.
One Step Ahead - Bronze
- Disarm ten trap mechanisms.
In order to disarm traps you will need to buy the wire cutters from a vendor. There is a vendor in the same area you meet Basso. When you find a trap you'll need to use Focus to highlight the wire leading from the trap to the control box. The wire will glow blue. When you reach the control box open it and cut the wires. You'll definitely get this by progressing through the game and searching for collectibles.
Clear Headed - Silver
- Reach the final chapter without using the focus ability.
See the trophy Something to Prove for more details.
Hard Times - Silver
- Finish the game on Master difficulty.
See the trophy Something to Prove for more details.
Modesty Denied - Silver
- Score an epic 5,000,000 or more in a Challenge Map.
Challenge mode is available at the Main Menu. This is easiest earned on "House of Blossoms" and the game type "Chain Gang". All you need to do is collect loot. Once you collect a piece of loot you'll have 60 seconds to pick up more. Every piece of loot gained will restart the timer back to 60 seconds and increase your multiplier. Run through the level collecting all of the loot and take out any enemies you come across. Killing enemies will lower your score but you'll earn more than enough points by collecting all of the loot that it won't matter. Collecting everything should get you to around 2,300,000 to 2,600,00 points. When you have collected everything, head to the green glowing door to end the mission. The multiplier will get you over 5,000,000 points after the mission.
Child of the Shadows - Bronze
- Finish a single chapter without alerting anyone.
See the trophy Something to Prove for more details.
Hail of Glass - Bronze
- Shoot a bottle in mid-air with an arrow.
What you'll need to do here is throw a bottle straight up into the air and shoot it. If you don't have a bottle that can be found easily. They are quite common. You'll want to do this in an outside area. You will only have about a second to shoot the bottle before it comes down. Make sure to save before doing this so that if you fail you can reload your save file.
- Equip your arrows.
- Equip the bottle.
- Manually save the game.
- Throw the bottle straight up into the air.
- As soon as the bottle is thrown, hold R2.
- When you have the shot lined up release R2 to shoot an arrow.
Health Hazard - Silver
- Kill or knockout 10 people using the environment.
There are a few ways you can kill someone using the environment in Thief. You can shoot explosive barrels with a Fire Arrow or Explosive Arrow, shoot oil slicks that are on the ground with a Fire Arrow, and shoot hanging boxes with arrows to set free and crushing the enemy below. The objects you can use will glow blue in Focus mode.
Alternately, there is a very easy way to unlock this trophy in chapter 3. Once you are inside the House of Blossoms, head east. You'll eventually come to the basement. Drop down from behind the opium machine that the prostitute was standing in front of. Once you are below it, disarm the control box. After that, go to the front of the machine and pull the lever. This will knock out all of the enemies in the brothel and the trophy will pop.
Priceless - Bronze
- Complete a collectible set.
See the trophy What's Yours is Mine for more details.
What's Yours is Mine - Silver
- Complete all collectible sets.
There are 82 collectibles across the missions and city. If you miss any collectible during a mission you can replay it, even after you've completed the game. Pressing up on the D-Pad during a mission and going to the Statistics page under Player Progression will tell you how many you've collected. Some of the collectibles require certain equipment in order to obtain them so make sure you are constantly stocking up on equipment. Make sure you buy the razor, wire cutters and screwdriver as soon as you can. Those will be needed to reach some collectibles.

Hidden Agenda - Bronze
- Discover 15 secret areas.
See the trophy Finders Keepers for more details.
Finders Keepers - Silver
- Discover all secret areas.
Secret areas are a couple of different things. They are vents that you'll need to go through, windows that you need to climb through, or even secret rooms behind walls. There are a total of 73 hidden areas. When you find one you'll hear mysterious type music for a few seconds. You'll hear the sound even if you've already been there. Almost all of the secret areas are tied to loot and or collectibles, as they are hidden in the secret areas. So if you're collecting those you are also unlocking secret areas. Unfortunately, the only way to know how many you've gotten, is to to buy the mobile phone companion Thief app. The secret areas are located in The City and in chapters 2 through 8. Rope Darts are used to reach a lot of secret areas so make sure you are stocking up on those frequently. There are no hidden areas in chapter 1.
- Chapter 2 – 7 Hidden Areas
- Chapter 3 – 5 Hidden Areas
- Chapter 4 - 4 Hidden Areas
- Chapter 5 - 5 Hidden Areas
- Chapter 6 – 5 Hidden Areas
- Chapter 7 – 4 Hidden Areas
- Chapter 8 – 2 Hidden Areas
- The City – 41 Hidden Areas
Cache Dispenser - Gold
- Use 40,000 gold.
All you need to do to earn this trophy is to spend money. It's all accumulative, so you don't have to spend 40,000 gold at once. You'll earn 30,000 gold for collecting all of the collectibles and you'll earn well over 10,000 gold while playing through the game. Just keep spending it at merchants.
Working Overtime - Silver
- Complete all Client Jobs in the City.
There are only six Client Jobs to be completed for this trophy; three jobs from Vittori and three jobs from Ector. You'll meet Vittori in Chapter 3. Ector is met by accepting and completing missions from Basso (one of the missions will be to meet him). You won't be able to complete all six missions until you've completed Chapter 6 of the main story.
Dastardly Deeds - Gold
- Complete all Basso Jobs in the City.
You'll meet Basso just after Chapter 1. As soon as you meet him you can talk to him and he will give you missions to complete. He will have lists of missions so select them all at once. There are 25 total to complete throughout the game. You won't be able to complete them all until you have completed Chapter 6.
All That Glitters - Bronze
- Steal 5 collectibles.
See the trophy Obsessive Compulsive for more details.
Old Habits Die Hard - Bronze
- Find all the secret stashes in Moira.
This trophy is earned during Chapter 5. There are hidden loot areas that are all located in the beginning of the mission in the men's and female ward. There are no enemies here so you can run through the level collecting everything. I'll be honest here, I don't know what loot is considered regular loot or a secret stash. Just collect everything in the 2 wards until you earn this trophy. Look for vents and reachable ledges. Those 2 things almost always lead to loot.
Two-Faced - Bronze
- Uncover Lyegrove's secret.
This trophy is earned in Chapter 1. You'll need to find 2 masks hidden inside the jewelry store. One is behind a painting in a safe down in the cellar, the lock combo is 739. The second mask will be in the showroom with in a drawer. The objective marker will point you toward this one.
The Drop - Bronze
- Finish the Prologue.
This trophy is story related.

- Finish Chapter Seven.

The Dawn's Light - Bronze
- Finish Chapter Eight.
This trophy is story related.
More Heist Less Speed - Silver
- Finish the game in 15 hours or more.
This trophy shouldn't cause you too many problems. Searching for collectibles and completing all of the side missions should give you more than 15 hours by the time you finish the game. One thing you need to know is that chapter 7 is a point of no return. Once you finish chapter 7, you'll automatically begin the final chapter. To be safe, it's good to be around 14 hours when you start chapter 7. If you are not close to 15 hours, you can sit in the shadows and let the game clock continue to run.
