New biz: Clayhead Salon + Shoppe
There will be plenty of opportunity to shape up your appearance on Block Island this summer. Perhaps the island will be known as the place to go for nails, massages and hair styles. With one salon and one spa on the island already, another, Clayhead Salon and Shoppe, plans to open by Memorial Day.
Renovations are underway above the post office in the salon space where stylist and colorist Michael-Aaron Capps' shop will occupy the round room with a view that has been vacant for several years.
Capps tells a personal story about what it means to feel good about yourself and how you look. A recent segment that he made for a news program in his native Charlotte, N.C., was based on his mother's experience. During the recent job slump, his mother lost her job as an engineer 12 months shy of her retirement. "It was so painful," Capps said. "A lot of Americans identify themselves through their careers. Their identification is wrapped up in it. I've been on a crusade since then to give people a renewed outlook." The news segment focused on things people can do to get back into the work force.
New Yorker Capps worked out of the Koru Spa on Block Island for several summers. "I developed a lot of relationships here," Capps said. He wants the shop to reflect how he feels about the island. "I've grown passionate about the community. I've developed deep relationships with the people here and I developed Clayhead to show my gratitude and my love for the island. I'm bringing my aesthetic to my Block Island shop from top to bottom," Capps said. "I'm building this place myself. I'm sawing every piece of wood, creating the shampoo room, the display walls, with reclaimed wood and glass."
Before Capps became a hair stylist, he worked as a correspondent on Fox News in his original hometown, Charlotte, N.C. He had studied vocal performance as a youth, and eventually moved on to New York to perform, where he worked in television. While in New York, he got the bug to work in the salon business. "I realized it was something I wanted to do," said Capps. "There is a transformational quality. Someone comes in and you can transform their expectations into a reality. You can change someone's life."
To learn his skills, he began training at the Carsten Institute about 10 years ago, then trained in both the Vidal Sassoon and Redken Experience, as well as L'Oreal Soho.
Clayhead Salon + Shoppe will offer more than just haircuts and styling. Two chairs face the windows with a wide ocean view. Capps calls them his "personal sofa thrones" for pedicures, and he notes that the two copper basins for foot baths are hand made. Then he adds that he has been doing the carpentry for the renovations himself, including the recycled cedar shingles on the sides of the chairs.
Two rooms have been partitioned off for massages. All creams and oils for the massages will be naturally derived, as will the chemicals and polishes for nails. "They are low in the spectrum of chemical content. We use results-based lacquer that has no harmful chemical compounds yet dries efficiently and wears longer than most."
There will also be natural products for sale. Capps will be carrying Aveda hair products, which he said are "ecologically sound."
A display with home decor products for sale is already filling up with large wooden coffee and sugar scoops and colored glass vases made from recycled bottles. Capps says his merchandise line is being developed with the help of summer islander Melissa Hempstead, who owns a shop in Mt. Pleasant, S.C. "Melissa and I are working in tandem to create home decor retail consisting of natural materials. She is helping me to select all of my inventory. I love her cottagey, coastal decor," Capps said. Indeed, the blue, white and silver colors in his shop reflect that look. There was one last thing Capps wanted to show The Block Island Times. In front of the display case with retail items, he has installed a movie screen. "I can have fundraisers or wine and cheese catered events. I have lots of seating for small parties," he said.
Capps said he is looking forward to working with familiar as well as new clients on the island. "It is rewarding when you are able to help somebody attain a positive attitude about themselves through their appearance," he said. "That made me love this industry."
The telephone for Clayhead Salon + Shoppe is already installed. Capps can be reached there at 401-466-2440, or at his email address, email@example.com. For more information, visit www.clayheadsalon.com.

You should get Landsoul's spreadsheet. It'll let you plug in different gear and see a hypothetical raid-buffed DPS. It also lets you pull in from your armory, so you don't have to do the initial setup by hand.
When I look at your character on the spreadsheet, it shows a raid-buffed DPS of 6487. (Note this is theory crafted and based on a predetermined set of buffs you may or may not have all of.)
The first two obvious problems I can see are 1) you're way over-capped on Hit. That's wasted itemization points that could go to better DPS stats, and 2) you've got an EXP/STA gem in your chest.
Second one first:
First, let's go for the socket bonus using the existing EXP/STA Gem, so it's: EXP/STA, EXP, STR/CRIT for yellow. That bumps you to 6500 DPS.
Let's ditch the EXP/STA, and go with a +10 ALL stats there, EXP, and STR/CRIT: That bumps you to 6525 DPS.
All STR would get you 6510 DPS.
So, best to go for the socket bonus there.
I'm not going to go over the rest of your gemming, but I'll point out that the spreadsheet is great to find out if you're better off, say, nudging your Expertise closer to cap or just adding more STR/CRIT.
Also, if you get a DPS socket bonus, it's usually better to socket your yellows for STR/CRIT, provided you don't have to use any DPS loss gems like */STA ones. Just get the spreadsheet and plug 'em in.
Ok, now that we have a baseline of 6525 from going with the +10 ALL, +10 STR/ +10 CRIT, and +20 EXP in the chest, let's look at trinkets:
Replacing the two +Hit trinkets with two that are relatively easy to get, the Needle-encrusted Scorpion and Banner of Victory bumps you up to 6801 DPS. This will leave you at 162 Hit rating, which is fine since you're a space goat. =)
Other combos using non-raid trinkets:
NEC + Darkmoon Card: Greatness: 6858 DPS
Banner of Victory + DMC: G: 6717 DPS
Anyway, hope this helps. You could probably tweak around your gems a bit more, and try to bring up your Crit a little, but overall you're not too bad off. Just hit some heroics for trinkets and regem the chest. Also, again, note that the "DPS" figures I'm throwing out aren't going to actually reflect in game necessarily, but on the level of higher number being better, the spreadsheet is very good at figuring out gear.
EDIT: Oh, one more thing. Make sure you're not getting rage starved. I've started using IceHUD, which is one of the addons that shows you your rage and health bars on either side of your character. It's nice to have that visual indicator where it's easier to see. Also, GupSlamAlert or Power Auras is very handy for not missing slams.
EDIT 2: Looking more closely at your gemming, you're probably missing out on some socket bonuses there. Do your JC gems count as all colors to activate socket bonuses? If so, take advantage of that.

Last week while I was sitting in the green room of a news station waiting to talk about how to be an emotionally intelligent eater, I had the opportunity to conduct another sneaky food experiment (see my previous one). Actually, this was an observational study. Here's what happened.
Like many green rooms, there was a TV, coffee, and comfortable chairs. A delivery man entered and put down a tray of donuts and left. Within a matter of moments, people began entering the room, one at a time, over the next hour. They were in search of the newly delivered donuts!

Contemporary Bedside Tables
Rest assureddesigners Shawn Henderson and Marie Turner Carson have taken the measure of these nighttime essentials that are crucial for any bedroom
By Laura Regensdorf
"Goatskin is so chic," says Carson of the parchment paneling on this French oak--veneered table. The door, marked with a brass pull, opens to reveal an interior shelf. "I love the hexagonal design--it's unique and practical," she adds. The luxe materials remind Henderson of high French style, "along the lines of Jean-Michel Frank." He'd showcase a gorgeous object on top, "like a carved alabaster lamp." 18" w. x 16" d. x 24" h.; $1,050; dwellstudio.com

After the plating.
The candy is candy coated with Thailand since ancient times already. A pastry blender to make it a realistic color with additions. Realistic model with spin up. After the plating is. A delicious sweet dessert that is popular today. And today it is popular to eat. After the same treatment. Thailand is so sweet. This is a really popular and we have a way to make the candy coating you would suggest I try to eat a dessert at home. Ingredients and how to do the following.
Green beans
Granulated sugar
Coconut milk
Agar powder.
Food coloring (color of your choice. How many colors can be used).
Palette and brush (used for decorative color).
Toothpick (used to plug the wets).
1. Prepared the green beans. Cleaned by peeling away the layers. Then leave it to soak for about 2 hours to clean the green beans are soft.
2. Then steamed green beans, soak the beans are cooked when ripe. Then, the blended thoroughly with the sugar mixture into the blender and mix well. Followed by the coconut milk. Then blend all ingredients are well again.
3. Beans from the water and then blended into the pan and heat it. Stir to mix everything together until it became sticky, then turn off the heat and leave to cool a room (be careful not to dry beans are marketed not just spinning you will not).
4. Then manipulated. As many as you want (but before the spin. Massage the mixture all together again, it would be nice) on a different spin. As you want it to be inserted toothpick. Spin the beans are done. Should be wrapped in a white cloth (a cloth moistened with water. Do not let it dry beans) to wait for decoration.
5. Then you prepare the food coloring additives to decorate the way you want it.
6. Furnished it. It is the process of making jelly, bring water, sugar and agar powder is poured into the pot together. Bring to boil, then the medium to combine everything evenly. Doing so will result in air bubbles rise to the management of gelatin powder scoop out. Dim the lights and light the deal.
7. Then the beans are blended and fully furnished. Gelatin powder in a pot and bring to plating (plating should be about 2-3 times) then just finished decorating it beautifully. The dish is served with dessert.

Reframe The Sentences Using Pronouns
An object pronoun takes the place of the object of a sentence. Me, us, you, him, her, it and them are all object pronouns.
Object pronouns usually appear near the middle or the end of the sentence (after the verb) and tell what or who is receiving the action in the sentence.
Read the following example sentences. Here, each object pronoun is underlined.
|1. I would like sing with Jason.
I would like sing with him.
('Him' takes the place of "Jason")
|2. Matthew asked Stella to go to the picnic.
Matthew asked her to go to the picnic.
('Her' takes the place of "Stella")
|3. We can't go to the store because the store is closed.
We can't go to the store because it is closed.
('It' takes the place of "the store")
|4. Minnie played along with the other members in band practice.
Minnie played along with them in band practice.
('Them' takes the place of "the other members")
|5. Mr.Tacky told Kylie and me about his field trip.
Mr.Tacky told us about his field trip.
('Us' takes the place of "Kylie and me")
First and Second Person Object Pronouns
First and second person object pronouns ('Me' and 'You') are not often used as replacement words since they specifically describe or address a point of view.
1. The dogs barked at me for knocking on the door.
- 'Me' cannot be replaced since it is a first person object pronoun and refers specifically to the person speaking.
- 'You' cannot be replaced since it is a second person object pronoun and refers specifically to the person being spoken to.

How bond works
Bond is determined not by the seriousness of the crime but rather the likelihood that the defendant will appear in court to face those charges.
If the bond is posted either by the suspect or a third party on their behalf and they fail to appear, the amount is forfeited to the state.

Insideop's 1000th Post Dual Texan Mock
I have been wanting to do a Texan Mock for awhile now and have been compiling a list of players in the various rounds, mostly from WalterFootball.com. Since this is my 1000th post I thought I'd go ahead and do a dual mock of who I would like to see the Texans draft and who I think they're more likely to draft. Some rounds they may be the same for both mocks. So, go ahead and fire away!
The way I would like it to go mock.
Rd1-Earl Thomas, FS No, I'm not a horns fan, but from everything I've seen/read he will be a great FS. Problem is, I don't think he falls this far.
Rd2-Ben Tate, RB I haven't watched Tate any this past season and would prefer Gerhart, who I did see in a few games, and either one would probably be a good pick. I don't think either one will last to the 3rd round where the Texans pick at 81.
Rd3-Linval Joseph, DT Big strong DT(6'4" 328 lbs). Good for tying up 2 O-linemen and stuffing the run.
Rd4-Myron Lewis, CB/FS Heard the Texans were showing interest in him (may have had him in for workout?). Seems to have similar measurables as Bennett and Molden.
Rd5-Barry Church, SS This is probably too early for Church but I don't think he will be there in the 6th. Would provide good depth behind Pollard and be a solid ST's player.
Rd6-Ben Burney, CB Fast (4.38 in the 40). More depth at CB.
Rd6-Kevin Matthews, OC Bruce Matthews' son and an Aggie. Had a good Pro Day. Can play OG or OC. Would probably end up on PS for development. Don't think Kubes will pass him up!
Rd7-Simoni Lawrence, OLB More depth at OLB and ST's player.
The way I think it will go mock
Rd1-Ryan Mathews, RB This is who a lot of mocks have us taking, and with Smithiak saying they want an impact player in the 1st, it could be a RB. The only snag could come if SD covets him more and moves ahead of us.
Rd2-Brandon Ghee, CB Not sure the Texans like Ghee but he had the size I think they like. They could pick from any of a boatload of CB's in this round or they could go another route like FS with Burnett. Just depends on who they rate higher.
Rd3-Linval Joseph, DT Same as my other mock. Just not sure if he will be there for the Texans this late. If not, they could go with Torrell Troup who is a little smaller(314 lbs).
Rd4-Robert Johnson, FS Moving up the boards fast and may not be here for the Texans, but if he is, I think they take him. Has a workout scheduled with them I think.
Rd5-Shaun Lauvao, OG The Texans may go another route here like OLB or SS, but I think they may start looking at O-line in this range. Lauvao has good size and quickness (top 10 O-lineman at Combine in 3 cone drill and 20 yd shuttle). Plus he was among the top in the BP with 33.
Rd6-Ben Burney, CB Same as other mock. More depth at CB.
Rd6-Stevenson Sylvester, OLB More depth at OLB and ST's.
Rd7-Shelley Smith, OG Had a good Combine and would be more depth at OG. Could develop on PS. He's from Colorado St. so Kubes probably has the inside scoop on him.
Well there it is. Sorry it was such a long post. Hope you enjoyed!

Film Will Seemingly Shoot Ahead Of Video Game Adaptation 'Uncharted' The first time David O. Russell teamed up with Mark Wahlberg, it was on the outstanding "Three Kings," but their follow-up was something of a mixed bag: "I Heart Huckabees" divided critics, and was mostly ignored by audiences. But Wahlberg was brilliant in it, and their third collaboration, "The Fighter," was far more successful, picking up Oscar nominations and a hefty box office take, and the two seemed to be a good team. Unfortunately, their next mooted film was the video game adaptation "Uncharted" which, while we have faith that Russell would turn out something more int...Read More »
Just before the end of last year, there was a little bit of an update on the Phillip Noyce front.

Lat year Nick Cassavetes ("The Notebook") was circling the project—then known as "Peaceable Kingdom" or "Elephant Orphanage"—but he bailed acrimoniously in what resulted in an ugly lawsuit.

Smtp server
Ok so I have solved the issue myself..
Just wanted to share how I did it.
Seems if you follow the tutorial, "Perfect ISPCONFIG Ubuntu Setp" everything gets installed including smtp server.
Right next setup your DNS servers with and A Name record to point to your Ubuntu Server with ISPConfig.
smtp.yourdomain.com ... .to point to your server IP.
*** Always remember that DNS changes might take some time to resolve accross the WWW, so be patient"
Once you can ping smtp.yourdomain.com .... and it shows that its pointing to your server... you know it game on !
Also make sure that the IP is for the correct server ie. your ubuntu server.
Now just setup your email client (Outlook, Macmail etc ) to use and Autenticated smtp server for sending mails, and your set.
Thanks Falco for some awesome tutorials...

Incense sticks have been used since the times of Ancient Egyptians. Incense sticks burn completely to ashes, leaving an aroma. The mixture of an oil based resin and powdered raw materials is mixed using a binding agent. This is coated around a bamboo stick or a sandalwood stick for additional fragrance. These incense sticks burn directly once lit up. Artistic incense stick holders are available and are essential to hold the sticks and to catch the falling ash.
Agarwood, cedar, sandalwood are some of the woods which are powdered for including in the raw materials. Coriander, harmala, juniper, nutmeg are the seeds and fruits included. Then a variety of resins and gums, leaves, roots and rhizomes that also make up the raw materials. Essential oils like patchouli, cedar, sandalwood, jasmine, rose and ylang-ylang are used.

Eminem is Not Going for The Riddler Role in Next 'Batman'
By Daniel Gates | 3:12 pm, September 3rd, 2010
Eminem owns the charts again, but does the 8 Mile star want to return to movie theaters… as a legendary villain?
According to the National Enquirer, the rapper has asked his team to get him a shot at The Riddler in the next Batman sequel.
"Producers are piqued at the prospect of a Rappin' Riddler," claims the tab, which mentions that actors like Joseph Gordon-Levitt are also in the running.
The Gordon-Levitt rumor is one Gossip Cop has heard before, but has Eminem actually expressed interest in taking on Christian Bale's Caped Crusader?
It's "not true," his rep tells Gossip Cop.
Looks like some more "shady" reporting from the Enquirer.

here it is. A lot happened these past few weeks, none cooler than the QP me and a few friends downed in one fucking day, before 10:00pm. now im in school again at UCF. You'd think it would be easy to find stoners in college, but apparently whenever im out, they all go inside. Just one of those things i suppose. By the way, its a bad idea to chug cheap vodka. I found that out inside of a george apt., incidently, the same place I disappeared to for a week and a half. Reminds me, my parents are some strange people. Prior to my trip to george's, i had talked to my parents like once since moving to O Tizzle. And then after i leave my place for a while they want to get in touch with me, and since they couldn't, the natural thing to do is to file a missing persons report, right? well, thats what they almost did (they were one day away from filing it when i called them). Now to the present, i am here in front of my compooper typing, wishing in my head that somehow a magical bag of mary would show up outside my door. If there is anyone out there who would take pity on me and deliver me a bag, i would seriously consider paying in blood, sperm, or greenbacks.

Question: Are you as I stumped as I am about what makes the NCIS Red Team unique? In last week's episode of NCIS: LA, there was a moment when they were trying to tell a Mexican gunman to put his weapon down and none of them could speak Spanish. Which is odd given they are suppose to be a very mobile unit that goes anywhere, you would think they would be well versed in multiple languages. I was under the impression they were going to be NCIS' version of Seal Team Six. As for casting, the only one of the team that made an impression on me was the Aussie agent Claire Keats (Gillian Alexy). I still think Kelli Giddish would have been a better choice for the lead.

Recap: Brazil vs. Chile
Belo Horizonte, Brazil (SportsNetwork.com) - Brazil survived a major scare in the round of 16 on Saturday at the World Cup as the team topped Chile, 3-2, in penalty kicks after the two sides finished in a 1-1 draw after 120 minutes at the Estadio Mineiro.
David Luiz put Brazil in front 18 minutes into the game, but Chile leveled the contest through Alexis Sanchez in the 32nd.
Chile nearly won the game at the death when substitute Mauricio Pinilla fired a shot off the crossbar in the 120th minute, but the match was ultimately decided from the penalty spot.
Brazil goalkeeper Julio Cesar saved Chile's first two attempts, but La Roja stayed in the shootout until the fifth round, when Neymar scored for Brazil and Gonzalo Jara's attempt struck the post for Chile, sending the hosts to the quarterfinals.
The Selecao will now face Colombia in the quarterfinals on July 4 after Jose Pekerman's team downed Uruguay, 2-0, in the round of 16 on Saturday.
Brazil head coach Luiz Felipe Scolari voiced his concern about facing Chile prior to the match, and his fears were warranted as La Roja pushed his team to the brink over the course of 120 minutes.
"We knew when the draw was made we were going to be in for a tough time. They're a very organized team with a good tactical system and fine players. Every credit to Chile but this penalty shootout win says a lot about us and about our desire to progress," Scolari said. "The players can have a break now and, as they recover, we'll have a look at how we won, go through all the tricky situations we were in and a whole lot of other details. The idea is to build on this. When you win like this you come out stronger. We're going to tell them that so they can appreciate what they've done."
A corner kick in the 18th minute led to Brazil opening the scoring as Neymar's cross was flicked on to the back post by Thiago Silva for Luiz to turn home from close range for his first international goal.
But Chile struck back 14 minutes later when Eduardo Vargas cut out a pass deep in Brazil's end and pulled a ball back for Sanchez to fire home with a low shot.
Neymar had a header deflected just wide and Dani Alves forced a nice save from Chile goalkeeper Claudio Bravo on a dipping effort from 30 yards.
Hulk thought he had given Brazil the lead in the 55th minute when he brought a ball down inside the area and sliced it inside the left post, only for referee Howard Webb to waive the goal off because he felt Hulk settled the ball with his arm.
Chile had a good bit of possession in the second half and put together a nice move in the 64th when a one-two between Mauricio Isla and Arturo Vidal set up a first-time shot for Charles Aranguiz that tested Cesar.
The hosts had a few chances in the last 15 minutes to win the match as Jo failed to redirect a dangerous cross from Hulk into the net from a few yards out, while Neymar sent a header straight at Bravo from a dangerous position.
Hulk then forced Bravo to make a diving stop with seven minutes to play after the forward danced past two defenders to get into a good position.
Brazil was asking most of the questions in extra time, but Chile nearly stole the match in the dying moments when Pinilla smashed a shot off the crossbar from the top of the box that surely had Brazilian hearts skipping a beat.
Cesar came up big in the shootout for Brazil by saving the first two attempts, from Pinilla and Sanchez, but the hosts failed to take advantage as Willian missed the target and Hulk had his shot saved by the legs of Bravo.
The shootout was tied 2-2 entering the final round, and Neymar came up big on his attempt by sending Bravo the wrong way, while Jara's effort struck the inside of the right post and caromed out, allowing Brazil to breathe a huge sigh of relief.
"I'm not happy. We gave everything we had and we were up against a whole stadium, against the hosts and we didn't go through. Our players made history and they did their country proud," Chile coach Jorge Sampaoli said. "We had possession of the ball, we put in a lot of effort, we took more risks and we fought till the end. If that shot hadn't hit the bar, then everything might have been different. But it wasn't. I hope that the pain that we're feeling right now becomes something else in the future. With time we'll look at it differently and we'll come to appreciate what this team has done."

Sticky Password FREE 220.127.116.119
Sticky Password FREE is a password manager that can help you with keeping your countersigns safe and, at the same time, have easy access to them. Apart from passwords the application can also store bookmarks, identity details and secure memos.
Support for web browser add-ons
In order to make everything easy to use, the developer includes the possibility to integrate the application into all popular web browsers (Firefox, Opera, Safari, Google Chrome, Maxthon and Internet Explorer ), as well as less popular ones, through the "caption button."
This is practically an add-on that sits in the top right corner of the web browser and besides offering quick access to stored entries it is also responsible for detecting form fields and capturing the credentials for adding them to the database.
Store your credentials
Working with the program is pretty easy because the moment you punch in the user name and password to log into a web account Sticky Password prompts you to store the credentials. The moment you need to log in again it fills the required fields automatically. This happens regardless of the web browser you use, as long as the "caption button" is installed.
Portable mode and master password
Sticky Password can be used as a portable application, which can be carried on a removable device. Thus, you have access to all log-in credentials, bookmarks and identities on the go. Access to the data can be protected through a master password, which is evaluated on the spot in terms of strength.
Bottom line
However, this being the free version, there are some limitations, and these apply to the amount of entries that can be stored in the database. The maximum number of accounts it can hold is 15 while identities are restricted to only one. For most average users this should be quite enough, though. The trial for the full application is available here.

Girls Learn About Engineering At Rockwell Collins
CEDAR RAPIDS, IA (CBS 2/FOX 28)--Rockwell Collins hosted some very excited eighth graders today.
As part of National Engineers Week more than 90 girls from corridor schools came to learn about engineering as well as participate in a hands-on activity.
Not only is it National Engineering Week, it's also Rockwell Collins 13th annual Introduce a Girl to Engineering day, which is an opportunity for young girls to learn they can do anything.
It's never too early to start considering a career path.
"We're basically learning about possible fields in engineering and what engineers do and how women can be engineers, said eighth grader Elizabeth Mcdermott.
This is Rockwell Collins way of introducing these girls from Linn and Johnson County schools to the engineering.
"One of my teachers invited me to come and my dad's an engineer, said another eighth grader Ally Eipert.
"I kind of just wanted to see what engineers did, said eighth grader Callie Neighbor, and everyone in this room got a chance to experience just that by building "helping hands, a prosthetic hand that will go to people around the world who can't afford to buy one.
The girls learned that engineering is not just about making things from pieces its also about helping improve someone's life."
"Which is kind of cool because it gives you perspective. Not everyone is as lucky as us to have access to medical equipment, Mcdermott said.
Its an experience that can lead to something bigger.
Just ask Sarah Mihm, six years ago she was here building a helping hand.
Now she's here as a Rockwell Collins intern.
"It's so inspiring knowing that this really did help me become what I am today, said Mihm.
Proving that some in this room might one day be engineers.
The 90 eighth graders who showed up today got to work with female engineers.
They were also given a tour of Rockwell Collins.

Article I agencies administer a variety of programs; they include the Governor's Office, Comptroller's office, Office of the Attorney General and a number of other agencies, boards and commissions.
The review team created 64 separate expenditure indices for Article I agencies, most of them using population as a workload measure. Some, however, employed more specific measures. For example, the State Office of Risk Management Worker's Compensation Payments index was calculated in terms of the cost per state worker covered.
Total expenditures for programs in Article I agencies rose from $1.2 billion in fiscal 1990 to $2.2 billion in 2002, an increase of 84 percent. In real (1990) dollars, the total rose to $1.6 billion, a 33 percent increase. Fiscal 2002 Article I spending amounted to 4.03 percent of all expenditures used to calculate the statewide index.
The Article I expenditure index rose to 3.99 during the fiscal 1990-2002 period, representing a 299 percent increase in expenditures per workload unit.
The largest individual Article I indices for fiscal 2002 were:• 138.05, for the Texas Public Finance Authority's "All Other" expenditure index (all spending other than interest payments, salaries and wages and the authority's Master Lease Purchase Program). Total expenditures rose from $67,000 in fiscal 1990 to $16 million in 2002. Real expenditures increased to $11.6 million over the period. Most of this increase occurred in fiscal 2002, due to a $13 million expenditure for building improvements. Also contributing to the index's growth was the authority's expanded use of financial and accounting services, legal services, and fees for other professional services beginning in fiscal 1993. This index accounted for just 0.74 percent of Article I expenditures in 2002.
• 42.43, for Texas Historical Commission grant expenditures. Total spending in this area rose from $167,000 in fiscal 1990 to $23.3 million in 2002. Real expenditures increased to $17.3 million during this period; real expenditures per 10,000 Texas residents rose by 8,167 percent. Most of this increase began in fiscal 2001, due to new spending associated with a Courthouse Preservation Initiative authorized by the 1999 Legislature. This index accounted for 1.1 percent of Article I expenditures in 2002.
• 24.99, for major IT-related expenditures of the Department of Information Resources. Total expenditures for this index rose from $135,000 in fiscal 1990 to $74.4 million in 2002; real expenditures rose to $31.9 million over the period.
Since DIR makes purchases on behalf of other state agencies, vendor payments were used as the workload measure; the number of these payments rose by 842 percent during this period. Real expenditures per vendor payment rose by 2,399 percent. This index accounted for 3.4 percent of Article I spending in fiscal 2002.
• 23.43, for grant expenditures of the Commission on State Emergency Communications. Total expenditures rose from $2.5 million in fiscal 1995 to $34.1 million in 2002 (1995 expenditures representing the first full year of data reported to the state's accounting system). Real expenditures per 10,000 Texans rose by 890.6 percent between fiscal 1995 and 2002, with the bulk of the increase occurring between fiscal 2000 and 2002, due to a requirement by the 1999 Legislature that both the emergency service and wireless service fees be deposited in the Treasury. Before, telephone companies remitted emergency service fees to regional councils of government; wireless service fees were remitted to the agency but not deposited in the Treasury. This index accounted for 1.6 percent of all Article I expenditures in fiscal 2002.
The index accounting for the largest share of 2002 Article I expenditures was the state's contribution to state employee insurance, at $390.8 million or 18 percent of all Article I spending. Its index was 2.24, representing a 124 percent increase in real expenditures per employee receiving insurance payments through ERS from 1990 to 2002.
The second-largest share belonged to the Office of the Attorney General's child support enforcement program administration, with $235.1 million or 10.8 percent of all Article I spending. Its index was 1.42, representing a 42 percent increase in real administration expenditures per child served from 1990 to 2002.

Improving information sharing and moving toward information management rather than data management are priority objectives for Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) information technology. Traditionally, information protection included withholding information to better protect it. Tendencies toward withholding and perhaps overclassifying information made for multiple organizational elements throughout the government with their own treasure trove of information that was not available to others. The more information withheld, the more important the organizational element, according to some.
Coordinating evolving operational and technical requirements between government agencies and allied nations was the focus of AFCEA's Transformation TechNet 2006 conference and exposition. Held in Hampton, Virginia, in May, the two-day event's theme was "TEAM Transformation … A Must for International Security." Conference topics addressed the various joint and cooperative efforts underway among government, military, industry and international organizations.
Conversations with computers are usually pretty one-sided: Users may yell obscenities; cursors continue to blink innocuously. But a collaborative effort between the military and industry may one day replace this one-way, futile discourse with systems that understand the user's cognitive state and then respond accordingly. The implications of this capability reach beyond ensuring that warfighters are primed to receive critical information. It could prove to be instrumental to inventing ways of designing new systems and improving military training.
Scientists in the U.S. Navy's Office of Naval Research are developing new virtual reality simulations that address the needs of land-based warriors such as U.S. Marines. These simulations seek to reproduce various motions and scenarios as faithfully as battlefield conditions.
The U.S. Justice Department is facing problems similar to those of the U.S. Defense Department as it tries to enable communications interoperability among civilian public safety organizations. It must ensure that any of thousands of different communications systems can interoperate during times of crisis, but those systems often have been procured independently without any applied standards.
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security is using a bottom-up technique to protect the nation by working with local first responders to develop standards and a way for jurisdictions to communicate with one another. Under the Safecom initiative, the department is helping states develop strategic plans to improve statewide interoperable communications.
Law enforcement agencies are benefiting from mesh network technologies developed originally for military use. Private industry is modifying versions of these types of communications systems to allow police and other public workers to share vital information more quickly and reliably than through cellular communications. The benefits are evident. While cellular communications rely on a central tower to relay messages that can become backlogged in emergency situations, mesh networks avoid this inherent problem by employing multiple routers set up around an area that allow messages to find alternative wireless paths to recipients.
After years of discussion, some military experts still disagree about the next step for the Operationally Responsive Space concept. While many believe the time for study and analysis is over, others say questions remain about the details of the capability's benefits for warfighting. Despite these differences, all agree that the time to move forward is now and that funding remains one of the biggest impediments to progress.
The latest version of a widely used commercial communications standard may soon provide U.S. troops with faster, more efficient networking technologies. Designed to greatly improve data throughput rates, the new rule also offers potentially greater operating ranges than current networks. However, the rule faces several challenges from developers before it can be fully approved.
An experimental technology soon may allow U.S. Air Force F-22 Raptor pilots to use the fighter's radar as a high-bandwidth communications system. This capability would enable F-22s and other platforms to transmit in near real time imagery and other files too large for rapid dissemination by current datalinks. The application could greatly enhance the U.S. Defense Department's network-centric warfare capabilities by turning tactical aircraft into reconnaissance and surveillance platforms.

During his long political career, one of Congressman Maurice Hinchey's signature causes has been protecting the environment. Hinchey spent 14 of his 18 years in the State Assembly as the Chairman of the Environmental Conservation Committee and continued to push for environmental protections in Congress. On the heels of his retirement announcement, our Beth Croughan met with environmental leaders in the Hudson Valley about Hinchey's impact.
POUGHKEEPSIE, N.Y. -- While announcing his plan to retire from Congress, Representative Maurice Hinchey outlined some of his accomplishments. Thursday, he reminds the crowd of his efforts to rid the Hudson River of PCBs. Now, the second phase of the cleanup process is underway.
"That's a very, very positive thing that is being done, after a very strong hard fight to get it done," said the Congressman.
Staff at Sloop Clearwater applaud that fight and Hinchey's help in the Hudson Valley.
"And I think Maurice deserves a lot of the credit for the cleanup and development of this Hudson Valley to being one of the most spectacular places," said Sloop Clearwater Executive Director Jeff Rumpf.
To the environmental group, he's an environmental leader.
The President of Scenic Hudson says he'll be a tough act to follow, calling Hinchey 'a hero of the Hudson.'
"A Congressman in Washington who understands that jobs and the environment go hand in hand. And then fights to bring back resources that can support our great economy here, can support protection of open spaces," explained Ned Sullivan of Scenic Hudson about what the region needs and what Hinchey has done.
In 2007, Hinchey helped establish The Solar Energy Consortium. The non-profit focuses on bringing green jobs to the region. And most recently, Hinchey's focused on fighting fracking.
