Follow-Up Postings:
For a couple of days, this has had me puzzled. A dresser is a significantly different piece of furniture from a desk. I can't envision what you have in mind. Assuming the height is correct, 29-30", how are you going to get a kneehole in the middle of the drawer area? |

Just saw a quick commercial. Tomorrow at 8pm, on The Discovery Channel, A new show called Factory Made, will be showing the brewing process. Jim Koch will be in it, maybe the main guest on it. I don't know much about it.
Just set it to record. Thanks for the tip! Thank god for DVR.. I'll be at a Belgian/German bar tomorrow at 8!
Thanks for the reminder!
Got it set to record.... Thanks.
Listing says "Boston Beer". Good lead in for the SGU premier.
Anyone end up watching it? I got off work early and was able to. Pretty lame. I was expecting a whole show on it. It couldn't had been much more than 5 minutes.
I was strongly mislead by the ads for this. Factory Made is similar to the show How It's Made, in that they spend 5 - 10 minutes on a topic, with multiple topics per show. They showed Sam Adam's Boston Lager being made using a decoction mash, etc. Nothing earth shattering and there were a couple eye-rolling moments. One thing I found interesting was the consistency of the spent grain at the end. It looked incredibly dense, their crush must be insane.
I watched thanks to your heads up. Thanks. It was rather lame but so is 99.9999% of all television. It's always cool to see something on brewing so I liked it but too bad it wasn't a full show with some details.

For erasing my H-grade...
Verified Purchase
For erasing my H-grade 0.5mm mechanical pencil lead, the Campus B/HB is the best
eraser I have found--and I've tested about all of the block erasers here on
Jetpens, among others (the Pentel Ain Dust-Gathering was my H-grade champ until
Jetpens got the Campus B/HB back in stock). The Campus B/HB cleans H lead better
than the other erasers, and is less smeary while doing so, making it very easy
and dependable in use. It also rolls its shavings up into a nice big, easily
removed roll.

The Campus 2B beats out...
Verified Purchase
The Campus 2B beats out my usual favorite, the Ain Dust-Gathering, when it comes
to erasing soft lead--it definitely won out when erasing 4B Tombow Monos on
smooth Bristol. It is also very good at gathering its shavings up into a
convenient single thread as you erase.

Verified Purchase
I tested pretty much all the block erasers on JetPens, and this one--the Pentel
Hi-Polymer Ain Dust-Gathering--was the best: better than the Uni Boxy, better
than the Hinodewashi Matomaru-kun, better than the Pilot Foam, better than the
other Pentel erasers, etc, etc, etc. In addition to just obliterating pencil
marks like nothing else, it is pretty good at gathering its shavings into an
easily cleaned up bunch, and although it is fairly soft it even seems to wear
down slower than most of the other erasers here. Just excellent. My full eraser

I've been experimenting...
Verified Purchase
I've been experimenting with many drawing instruments purchased from JetPens for
eight months now, but this is the first review I've written here--the Pro-Use II
has inspired me.
When I found out there was something beyond mechanical pencils--namely drafting pencils--I went about finding out everything I could about them online. I was after one with a thick, solid grip, because I felt that would be easier ergonomically. After much looking around and reading reviews, it became clear that the Platinum Pro-Use II was the only choice. When I received it I was surprised by just how short it is, but I have somewhat small hands, and after a few days of adjusting, it now feels almost like a part of me. The biggest adjustment was actually the balance; the short length makes it forward weighted, which was quite different than what I came to realize was the back-weighting of the long, decades-old (and still in great shape!) Pentel PD345 mechanical pencil I'd been using, which was further backweighted by a larger eraser stuck on the end. But I've found that the forward weighting of the Pro-Use II is the way to go--it inclines toward the drawing board and seems to make lines with almost no effort from me! In fact, from the very first drawing I made with it, I noticed an improvement in my drawing over what I'd been doing previously. I'm sure this is mostly a mental thing...but given the drawing improvement I've noticed since getting it, I can't help viewing this pencil as something almost magical. The construction is cool, lightweight, and as solid as I can imagine is possible, despite the fact that if you want you can unscrew various parts and pare the pencil down to just the tip, grip, and inner lead-holding tube. Aside from that inner tube, which is plastic, the rest of the body seems to be very finely milled aluminum. By unscrewing the end of the pencil, you can remove the pocket clip, although I've left mine on since it prevents the Pro-Use II from rolling away when placed on a flat surface. There is a very tiny eraser under the end cap, which I have not tried using and do not intend to, since I prefer using standalone block erasers. My favorite part of the Pro-Use II is the grip: nice and thick, initially cool to the touch, and knobbed with those lovely gentle undulating ribs that just seem made for fingertips to grasp with easy security--there's absolutely no slipping, sliding, squishing or grating like you may get with just about any other type of pencil grip. The Pro-Use II grip is a marvelous invention that should go down as a landmark in writing instrument design. I'm a comic artist and the Pro-Use II has been my primary, daily drawing instrument for the past six weeks, during which time I've only come to like and admire it more and more. I use Pentel Super Hi-Polymer 0.5 mm H leads in it, which are pretty easy to find just about anywhere, and haven't had a single lead break or jam, despite having clumsily struck the tip of the pencil against the lower lip of my drawing table on numerous occasions. Scans of a few pencil layouts I've done with the Pro-Use II: http://smbhax.com/stuff/121009e17d102p.jpg (approx 16.5" wide) http://smbhax.com/stuff/121010e17d104p.jpg 3 people found this helpful

23 Why then gavest not thou my money unto the bank, that at my coming I might have required mine own with interest?' | 23 Why then didn't you put my money on deposit, so that when I came back, I could have collected it with interest?' |
24 And he said unto them that stood by, `Take from him the pound and give it to him that hath ten pounds.' | 24 "Then he said to those standing by, 'Take his mina away from him and give it to the one who has ten minas.' |
25 (And they said unto him, `Lord, he hath ten pounds!') | 25 " 'Sir,' they said, 'he already has ten!' |
26 `For I say unto you, that unto every one that hath shall be given; and from him that hath not, even that which he hath shall be taken away from him. | 26 "He replied, 'I tell you that to everyone who has, more will be given, but as for the one who has nothing, even what he has will be taken away. |
27 But those mine enemies, who would not that I should reign over them, bring them hither and slay them before me.'" | 27 But those enemies of mine who did not want me to be king over them--bring them here and kill them in front of me.' " |
28 And when Jesus had thus spoken, He went ahead, ascending up to Jerusalem. | 28 After Jesus had said this, he went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem. |
29 And it came to pass, when He had come nigh to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount called the Mount of Olives, He sent two of His disciples, | 29 As he approached Bethphage and Bethany at the hill called the Mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples, saying to them, |
30 saying, "Go ye into the village opposite you, in which at your entering ye shall find a colt tied, whereon yet never man sat. Loose him and bring him hither. | 30 "Go to the village ahead of you, and as you enter it, you will find a colt tied there, which no one has ever ridden. Untie it and bring it here. |
31 And if any man ask you, `Why do ye loose him?' thus shall ye say unto him, `Because the Lord hath need of him.'" | 31 If anyone asks you, 'Why are you untying it?' tell him, 'The Lord needs it.' " |
32 And those who were sent went their way and found even as He had said unto them. | 32 Those who were sent ahead went and found it just as he had told them. |
33 And as they were loosing the colt, the owners thereof said unto them, "Why loose ye the colt?" | 33 As they were untying the colt, its owners asked them, "Why are you untying the colt?" |

Gang leader sentenced to life in prison; three detained in courthouse outburst
CORPUS CHRISTI - U.S. Marshals detained three people after an outburst in federal court that broke out when the leader of a Corpus Christi prison gang was sentenced to life in prison.
Johnny Joe Guerra, 33, pleaded guilty to possessing and dealing 5.6 kilos of methamphetamine, a quantity more than three times higher than the threshold that mandates a minimum of life in prison.
When U.S. District Judge Janis Jack sentenced Guerra to life in prison, despite pleading from Guerra's attorney to give him a lighter sentence, many people in the courtroom began crying loudly and one man stood up and cursed at prosecutors.
The situation escalated as marshals tried to escort the crowd of about 30 people outside the courtroom and detain the man. People rushed outside, shoving each other.
Two women accused of grabbing a marshal and the man who cursed at prosecutors were handcuffed outside the courtroom, and marshals ordered the crowd to leave the courthouse. Marshals spokesman Bo Collins said Thursday afternoon the people have not been charged yet because officials are reviewing courthouse videos.
According to court documents, Guerra was the leader of a prison gang responsible for murders, shootings, robberies and drug trafficking.
His charge in court Thursday was part of an indictment against more than a dozen members of the gang on various charges. The investigation also led to 16 other convictions related to a car-theft ring, drugs and firearms.
Ricky Alejandro, 25, also was sentenced Thursday to more than 18 years in federal prison. He was charged with shooting a man six times in January 2010 outside of a nightclub, assaulting two men in March 2010, breaking into a home and shooting a man, and possessing a gun as a felon.
"I'm very disgusted with myself because I'm better than this. It took this for my eyes to open," he said. "The people who love me is my family."
Anthony Torres, 34, also was sentenced to more than 14 years in federal prison for his involvement in the January shooting and possessing a gun as a felon.
Alejandro and Torres were ordered to pay the $130,000 hospital bill of the man they shot.
A letter from the victim that U.S. Attorney Mike Patterson read in court said that the man was financially ruined by medical bills and his inability to return to work quickly and asked for the maximum sentence.

Berkeley Research Group's Government Contracts Advisory Services (GCAS) practice keeps its clients up to date on the latest regulatory developments affecting the government contracts industry. This edition of the GovCon Research Report summarizes the critical regulatory and compliance issues contractors face in the third calendar quarter of 2012. The issues are summarized by the following key subject-matter areas:
By Sajeev Malaveetil and Andrew Stowe
On August 24, 2012, DCAA issued a Memorandum for Regional Directors (MRD) 12-PSP-022(R), "Assisting Contracting Officers in Establishing the Negotiation Objective for Significant DoD Service Contracts." This MRD provides guidance for implementing Section 808 of the 2012 National Defense Authorization Act (Public Law 112-81). Section 808 requires contracting officers to use Contractor FY 2010 indirect and direct labor rates as their negotiation objective for noncompetitive and noncommercial service contracts (including task and delivery orders) greater than $10 million awarded in FY 2012 and 2013. The MRD references a June 2012 Defense Procurement and Acquisition Policy (DPAP) class deviation implementing the Act and requiring that any FY 2012 or 2013 awarded contract, task, or delivery order issued for providing continuing services, non-commercial items, or non-competitively awarded products or services must have the written permission of the Secretary of the Military Department or Head of the Defense Agency in order to exceed FY 2010 indirect rates or direct labor rates. Such approval must be issued prior to contract award or order issuance.
In its MRD, the DCAA clarified that auditors should not view the directive as a rate cap or audit basis for questioning proposed rates. In addition, the MRD instructs auditors to be alert for accounting changes, subsequent to FY 2010, that may impact the use of FY 2010 actual rates, and instructs auditors to make rate information comparable, if practical.
Despite these considerations, several critical concerns continue to exist with the Department of Defense's negotiation objectives as imposed by the 2012 Defense Authorization Act.
First, the Act fails to recognize or give consideration to the fact that a decrease in base of contracts, as the result of likely budget cuts and a potential sequester, can and will result in an increase in a Contractor's indirect rates.
Imposing requirements to negotiate lower rates to a historical benchmark would necessitate that a Contractor either: (1) Engage in layoffs or pursue other actions necessary to proportionally reduce costs to bring FY 2012 and 2013 rates in line with the decreased business base; or (2) Require a Contractor to absorb a reduced recovery of costs to maintain its organizational capabilities (i.e., non-recovery of otherwise allocable indirect expenses).
The Act also fails to address that in many market segments direct labor costs and associated fringes have inherent escalations that are necessary to hire and retain qualified personnel. Forcing a Contractor to cut salary costs, benefits, or both to maintain historical rates would adversely impact a Contractor's ability to maintain competitive wages. This results in a potential for a substandard Contractor work force and decreased efficiencies on Federal services contracts.
Finally, the Act provides no provision or redress for Contractors who have established Forward Pricing Rate Agreements (FPRAs) or Forward Pricing Rate Recommendations (FPRRs) with the Government, which may have factored in cost escalations or a reduction in business base. It would appear that the DoD has been asked to ignore FPRAs and FPRRs for FY 2012 and 2013 and has been advised to attempt negotiating new contract-specific rates, to the extent that the previously accepted/requested rates are higher than 2010 rates, and regardless of whether the higher rates are a reflection of estimated escalation in costs or an anticipated reduction in base.
It is recommended that Contractors consider these factors when preparing service contract proposals, forward pricing rate proposals, and proposals for direct labor rates.
To assist in negotiations, it is also recommended that Contractors prepare, in advance, justification of any FY 2012 and 2013 rates above FY 2010 rates.
Finally, Contractors should take particular note of the applicability of the Section 808 of the Defense Authorization Act to ensure that contracting officers and the DCAA do not attempt to apply or otherwise enforce the requirements of the Act on all of its contracts or, in the case of indirect rates, in the negotiation of company-wide rates. Contractors should ensure that contracts, task orders, or delivery orders to which the provisions of the Act do not apply are not subject to requirements of the Act. Contracts exempt from Section 808 include non-DoD contracts, competitive contracts, contracts for commercial items, contracts for goods, and contracts under the $10-million threshold.
Several proposed, interim, and final revisions to the Federal Acquisition Regulation have been made in the past quarter. We list select updates and a brief explanation of their potential impact below. The appendix to the report contains a complete listing of all changes this quarter.
Price Analysis Techniques (Proposed Rule)
This rule proposes to eliminate all but one adequate price competition method in determining price reasonableness at FAR 15.404-1(b)(2)(i). Under the proposed rule, only two or more responsible offerors, competing independently, submit[ing] priced offers satisfy[ing] the Government's expressed requirements (FAR 15.403-1(c)(1)(i)) will be a basis for determining adequate price competition and, thus, a fair and reasonable price under FAR 15.404-1(b)(2)(i).
This eliminates another key provision for determining adequate price competition—FAR 15.403-1(c)(1)(ii), as it relates to price analysis. FAR 15.403-1(c)(1)(ii) defines adequate price competition as existing with only one offer, when there was a reasonable expectation based on market research or other assessment, that two or more responsible offerors, competing independently, would submit priced offers. As a point of comparison, the DFARS issued restrictions on adequate price competition for single-source awards at DFARS 215.371 for Defense Contractors, but it still allows for cost or price analysis to support a single-source offer as having adequate price competition. Also, unlike the FAR provision, the DFARS provision has both an executive override provision and an exemption for several areas of procurement, such as support of contingency, humanitarian or peacekeeping operations, or to facilitate defense against or recovery from nuclear, biological, chemical, or radiological attack.
This proposed rule attempts to establish a new definition for FAR 15.403-1(c)(1)-Adequate price competition. The new rule will apply to all agencies and will increase the burden on the contractor for other price analysis techniques under FAR 15.404-1(b)(2) to establish fair and reasonable pricing.
Changes to Time-and-Materials and Labor-Hour Contracts and Orders (Proposed Rule)
This proposed rule provides contracting officers with additional guidance addressing requirements for raising the ceiling price or otherwise changing the scope of a time-and-materials (T&M) or labor-hour (LH) contract. The rule applies to both commercial and non-commercial T&M and LH contracts and task orders under those contracts. The rule requires that changes in the general scope of a contract or order should be justified as non-competitive new work.
The language makes a distinction between the procedures to be followed in justifying and documenting a change to a contract versus a change to an order issued under a contract. Specifically, changes to the scope or ceiling price of contracts must follow the procedures set forth at FAR 6.303 which essentially require a sole-source justification for the scope or ceiling price change. Separately, for Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) orders under contracts, FAR 8.405-6 governs the justification and documentation requirements; and for multiple award task order contracts FAR 16.505(b)(2) governs the justification and documentation requirements. Regardless, the justification requirement is one of a single-source, non-competitive procurement. This restricts contracting officers from changing contracts and orders based only upon a Determinations and Findings (D&F) and forces them to address the non-competitive nature of the procurement change in scope or price ceiling. If finalized, the requirement will likely make it more difficult to issue significant scope or price ceiling changes without resorting to competitive procedures.
Reporting Executive Compensation and First-Tier Subcontract Awards (Final Rule)
This final rule has some changes from the interim rule but retains most of its basic tenets. The interim rule required that Contractors report:
The final rule changes of note include:
For contractors, this means that a process must be put in place to monitor and document whether the contractor is exempted from reporting total executive compensation as a result of the 80/25 test or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. For those not exempt, the top five executives' total compensation must be reported at http://www.ccr.gov by the end of the month following contract award and annually thereafter.
Additionally, a subcontracting oversight process must be put in place to:
There was minimal DFARS activity during the last quarter, with only two proposed and five final rules in total. Only one final rule was of significant note.
Reporting of Government Furnished Property (Final Rule)
The rule implements a requirement for the Contractor to report all serialized Government-furnished property in DoD's Item Unique Identification (IUID) Registry system beginning after December 31, 2013. At this date, the Contractor must also report Contractor receipt of non-serially managed items, unless tracked as an individual item. There are several types of property exempt from the requirement, including:
The rule also sets forth a number of data elements that the Contractor should have in their property management system.
The following is a summary of several key Memoranda for Regional Directors (MRDs) issued by the DCAA during the calendar quarter.
Audit Guidance – Denial of Access to Records Due to Contractor Assertion of Attorney-Work-Product Doctrine or Attorney-Client Privilege: 12-PPS-018(R) – July 25, 2012
Informs auditors that the DCAA Contract Audit Manual (CAM) section 1-504.4g has been updated to include procedures for when a Contractor asserts attorney-client privilege or attorney-work-product doctrine during the audit process. According to 1-504.4g, the assertion of attorney-client privilege or attorney-work-product doctrine is a condition that qualifies as an access to records problem, when a specific record is needed within these areas. It provides that:
This memo is particularly troubling in that it effectively requires the Contractor to keep two sets of records for privileged information—one set that is privileged and another set for DCAA that is redacted or edited in some manner to preserve privilege.
Also troubling is that the Contractor "must show a communication between client and counsel that was intended to be and was in fact kept confidential and was made for the purpose of obtaining legal advice." Such communications may be privileged in and of themselves, and their production could be a waiver of the privilege.
In light of this DCAA MRD, Contractors should remain diligent and work closely with their internal or external legal counsel to maintain and restrict DCAA access to truly privileged or work-product doctrine information. It can be expected that the DCAA will push harder for such information and will likely follow Denial of Access to Records procedures if privilege is claimed and no non-privileged records are produced in support of the cost.
Audit Guidance on Access to Contractor Internal Audit Reports: 12-PPS-019(R) – August 14, 2012
This MRD provides direction for requesting and monitoring requests for Contractors' Internal Audit Reports. The guidance is a result of recommendations from the U.S. Government Accountability Office report "Actions Needed to Improve DCAA's Access To and Use of Defense Company Internal Audit Reports." It recognizes that DCAA cannot have unlimited access to Internal Audit Reports but is limited to materials "relevant to its audit responsibilities."
The guidance requires that the DCAA Contract Audit Coordinator (CAC) offices and Field Audit Offices (FAOs) at major Contractor locations establish a process and a central point of contact to obtain and monitor DCAA's access to and use of Internal Audit reports. This process will include a request tracking mechanism and the Contractor's disposition of requests.
If access to Internal Audit Reports is denied by the contractor, Denial of Access to Records procedures will be implemented. Should these procedures fail to convince the Contractor to turn over Internal Audit Reports, Regional Directors should review the matter and determine if a subpoena should be requested in accordance with DCAA Regulations No. 5500.5, Subpoenas of Contractor Records, dated October 10, 2006.
This audit guidance is of particular concern to the contracting community. The DCAA has, for years, requested Internal Audit Reports from Contractors. Some Contractors provide them, while others do not.In some cases, the Contractors who do not provide them are also challenged on the cost of their
Internal Audit Departments, as the government ostensibly does not receive a benefit from this cost without access to the Internal Audit Reports.
Those Contractors who do provide access to Internal Audit Reports typically find that DCAA's requests are expansive and delve into areas that have no relation to the controls governing government contract costs.
This audit guidance will serve to further bolster DCAA's attempts to review Internal Audit Reports (including those with little to no bearing upon controls over government contract costs), under the threat of Denial of Access to Records and DCAA subpoena authority.
Audit Guidance on the One Audit Approach – When FAOs Incorporate Audit Procedures Performed by Other FAOs without an Assist Audit Report: 12-PAS-020(R) – August 8, 2012
This MRD provides guidance on using the One Audit Approach (OAA). It provides that FAOs should consider using the OAA as the preferred method on ALL assignments where a portion of the audit needs to be performed by another office (excluding subcontractor assist portions of audits).
Several DCAA Audit Programs have been updated during the last quarter including:
OFPP Policy Letter 11-01, Performance of Inherently Governmental and Critical Functions (Final Policy Letter)
The policy letter provides additional guidance on managing the performance of inherently governmental and critical functions by:

The summaries do not constitute legal advice and should not be construed as such. Readers should consult with their legal counsel to determine applicable legal requirements in a specific fact situation.
False Claims Act
Randall L. Little and Joel F. Arnold v. Shell Exploration and Production Company, Shell Deepwater Development Systems, Inc., and Shell Offshore Inc., Fifth Circuit, 11-20320, July 31, 2012
The case addresses the issue of whether a federal employee, whose job is to investigate fraud, is exempt from taking qui tam actions under the False Claims Act (FCA).
In 2006, relators Little and Arnold filed two qui tam suits against Shell, alleging the company defrauded the Department of the Interior of $19 million. Both relators were auditors for the Department of the Interior's Minerals Management Service (MMS) agency, which has since been eliminated. The facts forming the basis of the relators' suits were discovered during audits performed by the relators and reported to their mutual supervisor as part of their job requirements.
In March 2007, the Government decided not to intervene in the cases. The cases were transferred to the Southern District of Texas, where they were consolidated per the parties' request. In April 2011, the district court granted summary judgment to Shell on the basis that the suit was prohibited by two provisions of the FCA: (1) a provision under the heading "Actions by private persons," describing who may bring a civil action on behalf of the United States Government; and (2) the public disclosure bar.
During appeal at the Fifth Circuit, Shell and the U.S. Government argued that Federal Government employees were not "private persons." They also argued that allowing federal employees to be relators would be in conflict with ethical standards for Government employees, which prohibit the use of nonpublic Government information to further private interests, as well as the criminal conflict-of-interest statute. The Appellees also argued that the information provided by Little and Arnold did not pass the public-disclosure provisions of the FCA.
The Fifth Circuit found that there was no basis to except Government employees from serving as qui tam relators in a FCA action and that the text of the FCA supports the relators' standing. The court also found that the district court used a broad conception of the public disclosure bar and remanded the district court to reconsider the public disclosure issue.
In issuing a concurring opinion, Circuit Judge Emilio M. Garza expanded on the conflict-of-interest concerns. Judge Garza noted that federal auditors are held to even a higher standard than other Government employees, as they are required to follow Generally Accepted Government Auditing Standards (GAGAS) ("The Yellow Book"), which requires Government auditors be "free both in fact and appearance from personal, external and organizational impediments to their independence." Judge Garza acknowledged that the Fifth Circuit ruling related to the FCA implicates the mandates of GAGAS as well as the aforementioned conflict-of-interest concerns. However, Judge Garza went on to note that, as judges the courts are charged with interpreting statutes, and that the fact that the FCA, as written by Congress, gives no notice of the conflict of interest principles is a matter of political concern.
U.S. ex rel. Nyle J. Hooper v. Lockheed Martin Corporation., Ninth Circuit No. 11-55278, August 2, 2012
This case addresses the issue of whether knowingly underbidding a cost-type contract can result in a violation of the FCA.
This qui tam appeal case involves a cost plus award fee Air Force contract for software and hardware used to support space launch operations under the Range Standardization and Automation (RSA) IIA program.
The Government awarded the RSA IIA contract to Lockheed on a "best value" basis with recognition that there were risks of potential cost growth, but concluded that the risk potential was acceptable. In making its award, the Government concluded that a fair and reasonable price was obtained, without reliance on certified cost or pricing data.
Though Lockheed's Best and Final Offer (BAFO) for the RSA IIA Request for Proposal (RFP) was for $432.7 million, the company was ultimately paid more than $900 million under the resulting contract.
The relator, Nyle J. Hooper, served as a Senior Project Engineer on the RSA IIA program prior to being involuntarily terminated in July of 2002. In his original suit, Hooper alleged that Lockheed Martin violated the FCA by knowingly underbidding the contract, failing to perform all required tests or otherwise improperly conducting required tests, and including undisclosed freeware in software deliverables that did not convey all intellectual property rights. In addition, Hooper alleged that he was wrongfully terminated as retaliation for FCA protected activity.
In its ruling, the Ninth Circuit reversed the District Court's prior decision, which granted Lockheed's motion for summary judgment. The Circuit Court concluded that "false estimates, defined to include fraudulent underbidding in which the bid is not what the defendant actually intends to charge, can be a source of liability under the FCA, assuming that the other elements of an FCA claim ... are met."
In its ruling, the Circuit Court remanded the district court's dismissal of Hooper's claim that Lockheed violated the FCA by knowingly underbidding the contract. The Circuit Court determined that FCA liability may be based on false estimates.
Federal Supply Schedule Contracts
GTSI Corporation v. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and General Services Administration (CBCA 2718, 2719), September 14, 2012
Seeking recovery of termination costs related to an unexercised option of a delivery order issued under its IT-70 GSA Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) contract, and with uncertainty over the appropriate jurisdiction, GTSI submitted identical termination claims to both the EEOC and the GSA. The EEOC denied the claim, citing the GSA, as the agency that awarded the FSS contract, as the appropriate agency to handle the claim, while the GSA remained silent on the claim.
GTSI filed two separate appeals at the Civilian Board of Contract Appeals (CBCA) –one on the EEOC decision and another on the GSA's lack of decision. The Board consolidated the two appeals for purposes of issuing a decision as to which agency would be the appropriate respondent to the claim. Citing the action of the ordering agency—by refusing to exercise an option—as the basis for the dispute, the Board ruled that the EEOC was the appropriate respondent for the claim and granted the GSA's motion to dismiss its case. The ruling provides some clarity to the language at FAR 8.406-6, regarding the appropriate jurisdiction for disputes related to FSS contract delivery orders as it pertains to performance issues related to the delivery order.
Recovery of Consultant and Legal Costs – Claims
Tip Top Construction, Inc. v. Patrick R. Donahoe, Post Master General, U.S. Court of Appeals, Federal Circuit (2011-1509), September 19, 2012
In Tip Top Construction, Inc.'s appeal of an April 1, 2011, Postal Service Board of Contract Appeals (PSCBA) decision denying part of an equitable adjustment claim, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit granted recovery of consultant and legal costs incurred "for the genuine purpose of materially furthering the negotiation process" of the claim.
In its April 2011 decision, the PSBCA ruled Tip Top was not entitled to recover consultant and legal costs incurred, as the costs "had nothing to do with performance of the changed work or genuine contract administration and were solely directed at trying to convince the contracting officer to accept [Tip Top's] figure for the change and maximizing [Tip Top's] monetary recovery." In its appeal, Tip Top argued that the consultant and legal costs incurred for negotiating the price of the change order are recoverable as contract administration costs.
In deciding the case, the Federal Circuit made a distinction between costs incurred in connection with the administration of a contract and costs incurred in connection with the prosecution of a Contract Disputes Act (CDA) claim, the former being recoverable, but the latter not. The court concluded that costs incurred in negotiating an equitable adjustment claim are contract administration costs and, as such, "should be allowable since this negotiation process benefits the Government, regardless of whether a settlement is finally reached or whether litigation eventually occurs because the availability of the process increases the likelihood of settlement without litigation."
The Federal Circuit held that, if a contractor incurred a cost for the purpose of furthering the negotiation process of a claim, the cost should be treated as contract administration costs and would be allowable under FAR 31.205–33 even if a CDA claim is later submitted after negotiations fail. By way of contrast, the court held that if a contractor's purpose for incurring a cost is to promote the prosecution of a CDA claim against the Government, the cost would be unallowable under FAR 31.205–33.

6 x 9 | 188 pp.
With McDonalds in Moscow and Disneyland in Paris and Tokyo, American popular culture is spreading around the globe. Regional, national, and ethnic cultures are being powerfully affected by competition from American values and American popular forms. This literate and lively study explores the spread of American culture into international cinema as reflected by the collision and partial merger of two important styles of filmmaking: the Hollywood style of stars, genres, and action, and the European art film style of ambiguity, authorial commentary, and borrowings from other arts.
Peter Lev departs from the traditional approach of national cinema histories and discusses some of the blends, overlaps, and hegemonies that are typical of the world film industry of recent years. In Part One, he gives a historical and theoretical overview of what he terms the "Euro-American art film," which is characterized by prominent use of the English language, a European art film director, cast and crew from at least two countries, and a stylistic mixing of European art film and American entertainment.
The second part of Lev's study examines in detail five examples of the Euro-American art film: Contempt (1963), Blow-Up (1966), The Canterbury Tales (1972), Paris, Texas (1983), and The Last Emperor (1987). These case studies reveal that the European art film has had a strong influence on world cinema and that many Euro-American films are truly cultural blends rather than abject takeovers by Hollywood cinema.
Peter Lev is an associate professor of mass communication at Towson State University.

Is Taylor Swift Taking Another Jab At Harry Styles?
T-Swift playfully references the One Direction star in her upcoming music video.
Looks like Taylor Swift is trying to have the last laugh.
Months after their bitter breakup, the country songstress isn't letting ex Harry Styles forget about their former romance.
While filming the music video for her next single "22," T-Swift takes a few digs at the One Direction star, mocking everything from his wardrobe to their memorable moments as a couple.
"Leaving LA now after the best day with my friends. Almost forgot it was a video shoot. Can't wait for you guys to see it," she tweeted.
For the video, the 22-year-old sported a loose-fitted sweater, skinny jeans, ankle boots and an olive beanie — an ensemble quite similar to the 1D sensation's signature look.
And for those familiar with the song, the message isn't lost.
"It feels like a perfect night to dress up like hipsters... And make fun of our exes," she sings in the opening verse of "22".
Taking the references one step further, Swift even parodied the moment where she and Styles recreated the Dirty Dancing at the start of their relationship in December. The pair were photographed carrying out the classic move from the 1987 film during 1D's after-party following their Madison Square Garden concert in New York City.This isn't the first time Swift has publicly acknowledged the split. At the NRJ Music Awards, Swift performed her hit "We Are Never Ever (Getting Back Together) with Styles and his bandmates in attendance. Then, at the Grammy Awards, viewers couldn't help but pick up on her adopted British accent while opening the show.
Tell us what you think: Is Taylor taking things overboard, or is it fair game? Sound off in the comments, below.

Midwest Living Review
A Talley Burger is a local institution in the resort community of Lewiston, and deservedly so. It's a good little cheeseburger, clocking in at a recession-friendly price of $3.50. Fried potato wedges with ranch dressing will cost you an additional $2.95, but they're worth it. Beer arrives in the can, and instead of plates, you'll get Styrofoam dishes and plastic dishware. Nothing fancy, but summertime-tasty. We'd come back for the food alone, but it's worth noting that a big part of the Talley Burger's appeal is the venue in which it's served. On summer nights, Talley's Log Cabin Bar (the name is no joke; think Lincoln Logs) feels like a real neighborhood party. Big crowds gather on a shady outdoor patio; inside, you'll find a classic juke box, Tiger baseball memorabilia and multiple large-screen television sets. The mood is casual and friendly, with ponytailed waitresses in T-shirts and jeans who never forget to say "hon" as they whip out one burger after another to the hungry throngs.

Injury sidelines Cassell Jr.
Good thing UConn has depth in the backcourt.
UConn added to the basketball program's impressive list of NBA Draft choices on Thursday night.
Shabazz Napier became the 19th first round selection from UConn while DeAndre Daniels went in the second round.
Charlotte picked Napier at No. 24 and then traded him to the Miami Heat who gave up the 26th pick and two second round choices. Toronto took Daniels in the second round at No. 37.
It is the eighth time that at least two Huskies have been picked in the same draft.
Napier attended the draft, which was held at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, N.Y. Daniels watched with his family in Connecticut.
"My mind right now is twirling...," Napier told reporters during his press conference. "I'm just super happy right now."
Napier will join a Heat team that includes former UConn standout Ray Allen.
Daniels, who left UConn after his junior year, also was thrilled about being drafted. He worked out for Toronto during the pre-draft process.
"This is a dream come true," Daniels said. "This is what I always wanted to do as a little kid. I'm just excited right now. .. When I heard my name called, I started crying and hugged my family."
Daniels and Napier spoke on the phone tonight.
"We're going to keep working," Daniels said. "We're going to go out and prove people wrong. We both have chips on our shoulders."
Napier was the last player left in the Green Room when his name was called. He told ESPN that he was the best point guard in the draft.
Five other point guards were selected before Napier on Thursday.
"I wouldn't be Shabazz Napier if I wouldn't have said that," Napier said. "I believe it, and I'm going to prove it."
UConn enters today's game sitting in fifth place in the American Athletic Conference.Tulsa (7-0) and SMU (7-1) are pulling away from the pack.
UConn has had issues putting teams away this season. It happened again on Thursday.
UConn begins an important two-game homestand tonight with an American Athletic Conference game against Central Florida.
After its latest damaging loss, UConn faces a long, hard road to qualify for the NCAA tournament.
UConn didn't lose its seventh game last season until March 8.The Huskies (9-6) are trying to avoid suffering their seventh defeat tonight at Stanford.
UConn suffered a major letdown against Tulsa on Tuesday night. Almost nothing went right for the Huskies, who were simply out-played and out-worked for the first time in recent weeks.
Remember when UConn's big conference games used to be against Syracuse and Georgetown?
UConn is heating up at the right time.The Huskies scored an important 62-56 victory over Cincinnati today before a sold-out XL Center crowd of 15,564.
It's too early in the season to place today's game in the must win category.
UConn is one of four American Athletic Conference teams still without a conference win heading into tonight's game against South Florida at the Sun Dome.
UConn worked out at the University of Tampa's beautiful Bob Martinez Athletics Center on Monday.

Today is a big day, because we are going to completely finish up the Hiragana portion of the Lessons and we are going to talk about certain kinds of modifier kana that you can add to alter the sounds of certain kana. Once this is completed, I plan to move on to Katakana.
When we finish Katakana. I will then be teaching you how to translate your own name into Japanese. We are getting closer and closer to learning deeper into the Japanese Language. I know this is a bit tedious, but understanding these will make everything so much easier later on. It was around this tiem in my lessons that I started to understand what I was always seeing. In my head I could now look at Japanese and know what the character was. Before, it just used to be a scribble. I'm sure you are going to get that same feeling soon, and it's pretty exciting.
I hope you enjoy!
Seems as if I added a lot looking at this list, but it's mostly the modifiers and we will be covering those in a bit. Once you understand the modifiers it all makes sense. First;y, let's finish up the writing Hiragana lessons with the R-Base characters.
As you can see, the Ru and Ro are pretty similar in appearance. The best was I can help you to remember the difference. Just remember that the Ro is not the one with the circle at the end.
That's it, you have now completed the Hiragana class. There are 46 base kana in hiragana, but that is hardly enough to make up a whole language and sounds. Next we are going to cover some certain modifiers.
There are times when in Japanese the same character appears but will have a different sounds. The first example is called a Dakuten (sometimes referred to as a "ten ten"). They are easy to spot since they look like little quotation marks next to the hiragana. Adding this to the Ka character would now make it pronounced as Ga. These changes follow a specific pattern.
With Dakuten Added:
Another modifying mark that is similar to the Dakuten is call the Handakuten (sometimes referred to as a "maru" or "circle"). Unlike the Dakuten where the sound in the syllable can vary. This mark will always mean the character starts with a P sound.
The Handakuten isn't as widely used as the Dakuten. It is only used with the H Base kana to make them P Base, as seen in the image example below.
With Handakuten Added:
There are times when Kana are added to words in order to alter the way a word is pronounced. There are seen as small Hiragana written directly after a regular sized one. You can see an example of one in the chibi drawing at the top of the lessons where I wrote "がんばって" (ganbatte). The phrase means "Keep it up!". You may notice that the T is written as repeating. There is a reason for that, and we are going to cover that next.
The small つ (tsu) kana is a popular one you are going to be seeing quite a bit of in Japanese writing. When writing this, it means that you are to extend the consonant of whatever character comes after it. In the case of "がんばって" (ganbatte), the て (te) comes directly after the small つ (tsu).
Another example would be to look to the Japanese word for "school".
In the word "gakkou", you ca see that the small つ (tsu) is followed by the こ (ko) kana. That tells you the extend the K sound. See, this one is easy enough.
English | Romaji | Kana |
Keep it up | ganbatte | がんばって |
school | gakkou | がっこう |
husband | otto | おっと |
one minute | ippun | いっぷん |
Just don't be fooled to think that every time you see a consonant repeated when reading the romaji of Japanese that there is a small つ (tsu) involved. The word for woman in Japanese is おんな (onna). This is just made up of a o-n-na hiragana. You are only going to have to be aware of this when you see the N consonant repeat. That's because of the that rouge ん (n) hiragana.
To fill out in on something funny. You might have heard of the series Gintama. It's written ぎんたま(gintama). If you were to remove the dakuten from the ぎ(gi). The word would now be きんたま (kintama). Now, while literally that now means "golden ball". Kintama is also the word for "testicles". lol When Luffy was trapped in the jail of Amazon Lily, many had never seen a man before. He was standing before them naked, and they asked him what was in the sack between his legs. With confidence, Luffy announced that's his "family jewels" (kintama), but they thought he meant "golden balls". That's why Margaret was after Luffy's kintama, and why he was so passionate to keep them right where they were.
These modifiers are not seen as often as the small つ (tsu), but they will appear. They are just more complicated, but written basically the same way. They are smaller versions that are written after a regular kana.
You will notice that all these modifiers really do are replace the regular vowel base added to the pronunciation with it's self. How き (ki) added with a small や (ya) afterit becomes a きゃ (kya). This is one example. You can see all the variants in the use of these modifiers in the chart above.
The exception being with the し (shi) and ち (chi). In this case, the only thing you will replace is the vowel at the end. You will see something similar with the じ (ji), but it's basically the same thing as the shi with a dakuten,
English | Romaji | Kana |
hospitality | kyakuzuki | きゃくずき |
luxury | shashi | しゃし |
bathing | nyuuyoku | にゅうよく |
youth | jakunen | じゃくねん |
This was a pretty complicated lesson, but once we get all these writing lessons out the of the way. We can start handling deeper lessons.

You have no idea what your are talking about. Those in power have a strong incentive to have their wrongdoing concealed, including through use of such noble motives as calling information "Top Secret".
America was founded on principles of freedom and openness, and adherence to high moral standards and the rule of law.
American government has become arrogant, and has lost the support of its people. Something as obscene as a 10% congressional approval rating would give rise to rioting and violent revolution in many countries of the world, but not in America where Americans live in fear of their government and still feel they have much to lose in America, the world's largest and most punitive prison colony in history.
Arrogant people in government and the military remind me of the arrogant people of the holy crusades centuries ago. They convince themselves that they have moral authority, and then proceed to carry out the most immoral of acts.
You are far from the only person in this blog who has served their country in a military, not to mention other very serious capacities, and you are demonstrably not someone who has held high military rank or other posts high enough from which perch you could easily observe the disturbing ranges of morality/immorality and honesty/dishonesty which those in leadership positions reflect in the modern world.
As for your declaration that Snowden and Manning are "whores", I would suggest that the true whores are in America's congress, deftly lying to the American people, and selling them out to special interests which fund their campaigns, and resulting perks and privileges of their undeserved elected positions. Further, while I find your judgement weak, and likely making you one capable of errors of thinking under pressure, I would not hesitate to share a foxhole with either of these men, who are demonstrably among the bravest and most self-sacrificing Americans in modern history.

Kuala Lumpur - Two trainee pilots have been reported missing after their two-seater aircraft was believed to have crashed in a jungle in Malaysia's north-eastern state of Terengganu, news reports said Thursday.
The two trainees, ages 20 and 21, from a private aviation school had taken off in a Diamon 40 MAHA aircraft late Wednesday before losing contact with the control tower minutes later, the official Bernama news agency said.
Police along with search and rescue officers have been deployed to scour three areas where the missing aircraft was believed to have crashed, said Zamri Shamsuddin, state capital police chief.
"The search and rescue teams were sent to the three areas, based on sightings by the villagers who spotted the aircraft flying low," Zamri was quoted as saying by Bernama. (dpa)

I created a custom grid but in my layouts, any of the bubble with numbers and letters appears -_-
Can someone help me?
Thx in advance!
Check to make sure that they're not on a layer frozen in current viewport. If they're not try the annotive scale button on the bottom of the screen next to the scale (default settings have it just above the command line on the right). I had this problem with roomnames for the longest time and it fixed the problem.
To much simple....
Thanks a lot!

Nice sale, definitely picking up Superb Villain Veigar.
The Skin Sale Checklist (Post Update for 7/16/2012) Originally Created by Shingo Monster. Edited and Modified by Coreporeal. PLEASE TAKE NOTICE: This post has been created to inform potential skin buyers of the possibility of recently released skins that may be featured in an upcoming sale. Newly released skins may go on sale as early as three months after public release; however, this is all subject to change. With the exception of Limited-Edition and Legendary-status skins, every skin released before Feb. 1st has received a sale prior to the latest skin sale announcement, or has been placed in the "unofficial" skin sale Blacklist. The next sale may contain at least 1 skin from the list below. ■ Feb. 01: Major Ziggs (975 RP), Mad Scientist Ziggs (975 RP), Scarlett Hammer Poppy (975 RP). ■ Feb. 08: Headhunter Master Yi (975 RP). ■ Feb. 10: Iron Solari Leona (975 RP). ■ Feb. 14: Abyssal Nautilus (975 RP), Subterranean Nautilus (975 RP), Heartseeker Vayne (975 RP). ■ Feb. 20: Dark Crystal Ryze (975 RP). ■ Feb. 29: Royal Guard Fiora (975 RP), Nightraven Fiora (975 RP), Bladecraft Orianna (975 RP). ■ Mar. 02: Vandal Gragas (975 RP). ■ Mar. 05: Battlecast Urgot (975 RP). ■ Mar. 20: Bittersweet Lulu (975 RP), Wicked Lulu (975 RP). ■ Mar. 23: Jurassic Kog'Maw (975 RP). ■ Apr. 01: Fisherman Fizz (975 RP). ■ Apr. 02: Mafia Graves (975 RP). ■ Apr. 06: Battle Bunny Riven (975 RP). ■ Apr. 18: Blood Knight Hecarim (975 RP), Reaper Hecarim (975 RP), Warlord Shen (975 RP). All skins not listed here have been placed on sale before, are currently on sale now or have just been announced to be going on sale in a couple of days. The only exceptions to these rules are either Limited-Edition or Legendary-status skins. "Blacklisted" skins are still eligible for skin sales. With this in mind, it is advisable that you don't buy these skins unless you really want them NOW. (If that's the case, don't complain if you bought it and it happens to go on sale shortly afterwards). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Riot's "Unofficial" Skin Sale Blacklist Section created by Coreporeal These are the only skins that have been absent from any sales since their introduction during Season 1. Skins to be considered to be "blacklisted" have been released to the public for more than six months, and as of yet have not been featured on a sale. The reason for this is, as of yet, unknown. Listed from the oldest to the most recent. ■ Aug. 1st, 2011: Full Metal Pantheon (975 RP). ■ Nov. 1st, 2011: Boneclaw Shyvana (975 RP). ■ Nov. 15th, 2011: Atlantean Fizz (975 RP). ■ Dec. 29th, 2011: Prototype Viktor (975 RP). ■ Jan. 10th, 2012: Dragonblade Talon (975 RP), Guqin Sona (975 RP), Jade Dragon Wukong (975 RP), Dragon Fist Lee Sin (975 RP). ■ Jan. 17th, 2012: Sabertusk Sejuani (975 RP), Darkrider Sejuani (975 RP).

Rack of Lamb with Warm Apple & Lentil Salad
This Recipe Is:
Mustard and rosemary complement rich lamb and earthy lentils in this elegant meal. Don't let rack of lamb intimidate you. It is simple to prepare.
Prep: 10 minutes | Cook: 30 minutes | Total Time: 40 minutes
2 tablespoons
coarse dry breadcrumbs, preferably whole-wheat
1 1/2 teaspoons
extra-virgin olive oil, divided
1 teaspoon
chopped fresh rosemary, divided
3/4 teaspoon
kosher salt, divided
1/4 teaspoon
freshly ground pepper, divided
rack of lamb, Frenched and trimmed (1 1/2-pounds)
3 teaspoons
Dijon mustard, divided
shallots, finely chopped
1 15-ounce can
lentils, rinsed (approximately 1 1/3 cups)
Granny Smith apple, finely chopped
2 stalks
celery with leaves, finely chopped
3/4 cup
reduced-sodium chicken broth or water
2 teaspoons
sherry vinegar or cider vinegar
- Preheat oven to 450°F.
- Mix breadcrumbs, 1/2 teaspoon oil, 1/2 teaspoon rosemary, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl. Heat the remaining 1 teaspoon oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add lamb, meat-side down, and sear until browned, about 1 1/2 minutes. Turn it over and spread 2 teaspoons mustard over the meat. Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture over the mustard. Transfer the pan to the oven and roast until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center registers 140°F for medium-rare, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer the lamb to a plate and tent with foil to keep warm.
- Return the pan to medium-high heat (be careful: the handle will still be hot). Add shallots, the remaining rosemary, salt and pepper; cook, stirring constantly, until starting to soften, about 1 minute. Stir in lentils, apple, celery, broth (or water), vinegar and the remaining mustard. Cook at a lively simmer, stirring occasionally, until slightly reduced and the celery and apple begin to soften, about 4 minutes. Cut the lamb into 8 chops and serve over the lentils.

WJAC 6 News - Search Results
Man shot by troopers along I-80 now in jail
Reported By: Gary Sinderson
Written By: Marc Stempka
SNOW SHOE TOWNSHIP, Pa. -- The man shot by state troopers after a two-county chase was placed behind bars in the Centre County Correctional Facility.
State police said Friday that Gary Alan Randall, 54, has been charged for allegedly leading police on a chase Thursday from Clearfield to Centre counties before his vehicle was stopped by police.
Police said troopers shot Randall in the arm after the chase because they believed he may have been reaching for a weapon after he got out of his vehicle.
Investigators said Randall was shot near the Snow Shoe rest area along eastbound Interstate 80 in Snow Shoe Township, Centre County.
Randall was charged with six counts of recklessly endangering another person, resisting arrest, fleeing or attempting to elude police, receiving stolen property and other traffic violations, police said.
He was released from UPMC Altoona after receiving treatment for his gunshot wound and placed in prison on $100,000 bail.
Police said Randall led them on the chase from near Clearfield, Clearfield County, into Centre County, between 7 and 7:30 a.m.
Police said a trooper in Clearfield County attempted to stop Randall, who was believed to be in a stolen vehicle.
The chase continued to the area of mile marker 146 where Randalls vehicle was stopped by stop-sticks, police said. He then got out of his vehicle but refused troopers commands to show his hands, which were inside his clothing.
Police said Randall made a furtive move, giving troopers the impression he may have had a weapon. At that time, two troopers fired at him.
Police said after being shot, Randall started to run away. At that time troopers had to subdue him with a Taser.
No troopers were injured during the incident, police said.
Police said Randall made statements to investigating troopers that he wanted the officers to think he had a gun so they would shoot and kill him.
No weapons were found on Randall or in his vehicle, police said.
6 News reporter Gary Sinderson confirmed a search warrant was filed in regard to this incident in Centre County.
The troopers involved in the shooting were placed on administrative duty pending the outcome of the investigation, police said.

We're planning a bath remodel and want to do Silestone slabs on the shower walls (no more grout lines to clean--yay!). Currently we have tile with a recessed niche in the shower. We'd like to keep the niche and are wondering if it can be done with Silestone slab walls. Ideally, we'd like the recessed niche to be lined with the same Silestone as the walls. If that can't be done, we'd pick a tile to line the recessed niche. I've searched online but didn't find any photos of a recessed niche lined with Silestone. If you have a Silestone or Caesarstone shower with a recessed niche, please post a photo. Thanks! |
