Review by New Favoriteon 2/27/2014I started out buying pre filled carts and let me tell you what a waste of money!!! I just got the juice in today and refilled my first cart and man what a difference!!! Hard hitting, super satisfying, and great taste. The 36mg is what you want when you really need a fix. I can tell already I will not be sucking on this thing like a baby on a bottle when I need my nicotine because the WOW E-Juice delivers boy. Excellent delivery time, tons of vapor, strong but non numbing throat hit. Super bang for the buck. -

Review by Jaybirdon 2/17/2013This is the first and will b the last flavor i get hands dwn! I ordered 30mls of this for myself and got 30 of traditional menthol nobacco for my wife. My wow juice has a superior menthol flavor with that intense throat hit u expect from a top shelf menthol cig like (newps or cowboys). The traditional is def my wifes go to vape cuz of the spearminty after taste. I need that WOW factor which this delivers. Case and point every person that trys this has the exact same reaction its priceless the eyes pop out and they hold their chest. Lol. I love it!! I just received my DAV 1300 extra large and w it set on 4.8. Look out it will knock u down. Love this e-juice and already converted six people at work and workin on mom and dad to come to the vaping world. They cant believe how great it works. Thank u V4L u saved my life and my wifes and daughters health as well.

Rating Outright amazing
Review by Martyon 12/26/2012I highly recommend this one to the menthol smokers out there. The flavor is a never-fail for me, and I've ordered a second bottle. Heavy vapor, great throat hit, and overall success. The menthol is perfect, whereas it will be smooth and crisp but not overpowering. Tobacco undertones are just enough to hit that sweet spot. Great job! -

Rating Best of the best
Review by Adam Abramowitzon 3/15/2011For sure the best of all flavors offered. I switched from analog cigs after 15 plus years of bank breaking unhealthy puffing. The only problem with Traditional Menthol Wow is the lack of inventory for the juice. In the past it was rare to have any shortage of the primary bests. Over the last month I have had to settle for second or third even 4th choice. Hopefully Vapor4Life will catch up as I am a loyal customer & will pay for quality. Hoping not to have to shop. -

Rating couldn't be better
Review by Zachary Handleyon 11/17/2010This liquid is perfect. I smoked menthol for 6 years and this is by far the best substitute for menthol analogs I have ever come across. most of the menthol liquids have a sort of wet tobacco taste to me and this was perfect. a smooth cooling mint with almost a hint of coffee aftertaste. The vapor production is AMAZING, and the liquid itself is nice and thin, great for DIY filling of blank cartomizers, NO WAITING FOR THE LIQUID TO SOAK DOWN!!! I would recommended this to anyone who enjoys the flavor of mint or menthol. -
Rating Awesome juice!
Review by Evanon 10/12/2010The 8 years I spent smoking, I was a menthol lover. I've tried the various menthol e-juice flavors but none compare to the Traditional Menthol. The flavor is so rich and leaves such a relieving throat hit. Mix this juice with some WoWVapor blank carts and enjoy some thick warm vapor. -
Rating Yum
Review by Matthew Troxellon 10/5/2010I have mixed this juice with Wow Coffee Juice. What a great cocktail! I am a former menthol "smoker" and the combination of the coffe and menthol juice is out of this world. The initial inhale is menthol and the exhale allows you to tast the coffee. Highly recommended!!

Jeremy Brevard/US PresswireJames Franklin is off to a strong start in trying to change Vanderbilt's image within the SEC.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- James Franklin isn't apologizing, not in the least bit.
He's not celebrating, either.
It took him all of one season to steer Vanderbilt to only its fifth bowl appearance in school history, and that was on the heels of back-to-back 2-10 seasons.
And since his arrival in Nashville in December of 2010, he hasn't been shy when it comes to stirring the pot, or perhaps better stated from the Vanderbilt side of things, making sure the days of treating the Commodores as a second-class citizen in the SEC were never coming back … ever.
Those were Franklin's words last October after he and Georgia defensive coordinator Todd Grantham went nose-to-nose on the field following the Bulldogs' hard-fought 33-28 victory over the Commodores.
Both coaches felt like they were sticking up for their players.
In Franklin's mind, it was about time somebody stuck up for the Commodores -- period.
"Everything I do is calculated, but that's also who I am. I'm a fighter," Franklin said. "You're talking about a blue-collar guy who's worked his way up the ladder for everything he's got. I understand that respect and all those things are earned. I do. But what I noticed right when I got here, and I don't think people meant it, was that people talked down to us.
"It was almost as if, 'This is where you're supposed to be. You've always been there. How dare you try to improve your place? This is where you're supposed to be?' I think people were used to being able to put Vanderbilt in the "W" column before the season started, and how dare we try to fight back?"
Franklin was fighting back the moment he took what many consider to be one of the hardest jobs in all of college football. He still bristles when he hears about the supposed ceiling on Vanderbilt football and is so focused on making Vanderbilt a destination stop for top recruits that he frowns on his players even mentioning that they grew up a fan of somebody other than the Commodores.
"Between what we've done on the field and what we've done in recruiting, our pool has changed," said Franklin, who signed the highest-rated class in Vanderbilt history this past February.
"The first year we got here, there were only certain kids willing to listen to us. Then after this first season and what we did on the field, there were a lot more kids interested. Now, it's on a whole different level.
"We've taken steps, but we still have a long ways to go."
Franklin is hell-bent to get there, and he doesn't mind stepping on a few toes along the way.
[+] Enlarge
Grant Halverson/Getty ImagesRB Zac Stacy is one Commodore who has embraced the attitude of coach James Franklin.
Franklin also has a renewed commitment, really an unprecedented commitment, from the Vanderbilt administration to make football a priority at one of America's most prestigious universities.
Already, renovations are underway at the McGugin Center that will include a new locker room, team meeting rooms and a 140-seat theatre-style classroom. Vanderbilt Stadium is also being spruced up and will get new playing turf as well as a JumboTron.
And by 2014, a new indoor practice facility will be in place on campus.
Franklin had all of these improvements written into his new contract, which was announced last December.
And speaking of commitment, Franklin's new deal, according to sources, is paying him right around $2.5 million per year.
So the head football coach at Vanderbilt is making more than the head football coach at Tennessee. Derek Dooley is set to earn just over $2 million in 2012.
"The important thing is that the commitment is in place here, and everybody is on board," Franklin said.
There's also an energy and a charisma surrounding the program that Franklin has worked tirelessly to create. The Vanderbilt players say they feed off Franklin's intensity and the way he's gone to bat for them.
"Any man who will fight for you like that, you're going to give your all to have his back, especially when he's willing to put himself in the crosshairs for the team," senior cornerback Trey Wilson said. "We can look to that and say, 'That's somebody I can go out there and give my all for.'"
Don't expect much to change during Franklin's second tour through the league.
"People might get upset or frustrated or taken aback, but I'm like, 'We're just doing what everybody else in this league has been doing for a long time. You just don't expect it from us,'" Franklin said. "A lot of it's my personality, but it's magnified because people aren't used to that at Vanderbilt."
They're also not used to the Commodores taking the SEC's big boys to the wire, either. Their losses to Georgia, Arkansas, Florida and Tennessee last season were by a combined 19 points, and the loss to the Vols came in overtime.
"That's the next step, making sure we finish those games," Wilson said. "Going to a bowl was just one of our goals, so there's no complacency. We have the underdog mentality. Nobody wants to give us the respect we feel like we deserve, so we go out there and do whatever we have to do to take it."
That lack of respect was never more apparent than the Tennessee game last season. Following the Vols' 27-21 overtime win in Knoxville, a video surfaced of Dooley telling his players while they celebrated in the locker room, "The one thing Tennessee always does is kick the (expletive) out of Vanderbilt."
At the time, Franklin said it was a wound that he would leave open and wouldn't heal any time soon.
Well, it's obvious that it still hasn't healed, although Franklin warns that placing too much importance on one game in the SEC is foolish.
"There are situations that happen that are personal," Franklin conceded. "I really don't want it to be personal, because what happens is that your team and your coaches can sense that this game is more important than another, and the most important game for us is the next game on the schedule.
"Now, do things happen that get your juices flowing and make it a little personal? Yes. We don't talk about those things a whole lot, but it's more symbolic that our team understands that we're not going to let other people define who and what we're going to be."

iTunes 10 Essential Training takes an in-depth look into the popular music and media hub from Apple. Author Garrick Chow demonstrates how to perform the core functions in iTunes: playing, purchasing, sharing, and streaming content. The course also covers specialized features such as setting parental controls, syncing with iPods, subscribing to podcasts, listening to Internet radio, using the Genius feature, the Ping social network, and much more. Exercise files are included with the course.
Occasionally, you'll come across an album of music in which the artist creates a seamless transition between individual tracks on the CD. Some examples that come to mind are the second half of Abbey Road by the Beatles, in which one song flows directly into the next, or on their Sgt. Sergeant Pepper album where "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" transitions directly into the song "With a little help from my friends." Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon and Green Day's American Idiot albums are also examples of albums containing songs that flow from one to another. In any case there used to be an issue with earlier versions of iTunes and older models of iPods, that there would be a small gap of silence between tracks, so even if the artist intended for the tracks to go from one to the next with no break in between, the limited technology would still introduce one.
Now that hasn't been a problem for a while since a feature called gapless playback was introduced back in iTunes 7, and all iPods after the fifth generation of iPods support gapless playback as well. But still it's useful to know that you have the ability in iTunes to manually join tracks together into what amounts to a single file. That ensures that no gap will be between the tracks regardless of what device is playing them. Another benefit of joining tracks together is to make sure they always play together even if you're shuffling songs on random, or if you are a classical music listener you might want to make sure certain movements are always played together and in order.
Now to join tracks together, you have to join them from a CD. You can't just pick two songs in your iTunes library and join them. Now as an example, I have inserted an album by the Jellybricks called Kinky Boot Beast, and let me play you the end of one of these songs to show you how it transitions into the next one. (Music Playing) So, that was a seamless transition between those two tracks.
It went right from that thrumming guitar sound at the end of Track 12, right into the snare drum opening of Track 13. And I want to make sure these tracks stay together, because maybe the artist or even I as a listener feel that they really belong together when listening. Maybe they are considered two halves of a larger piece or something like that. All I have to do is select those two songs by holding down Shift and clicking them both. Now obviously this will only work with contiguous songs on the CD. I can't select say Track 1 and Track 7 and try to join those together. So I am going to select Tracks 12 and 13 and with them selected I am going to go to the Advanced menu and choose Join CD Tracks.
Now these both songs are now bracketed together and you will only see one checkbox for both of them. I am going to Command+Click that checkbox to deselect everything, if you are on Windows, it would be a Ctrl+Click, and I'm only doing this because I just would import these joined tracks for this example. So I am just going to select that one checkbox for the joined tracks. So with that selected, I am going to click Import CD. Now we already have a copy of this album in iTunes so iTunes knows this and is asking me do you want to replace these existing songs? I am going to choose Don't Replace. That will essentially give me a copy of the individual songs plus the joined version. And now you can see it's importing "Who is God/Wasted Hours," the two individual songs.
And it's done. So I will go over to my music library, and here in library, there is. Notice that this title "Who is God - Wasted Hours" and you can see the duration is 7 minutes 20 seconds, which is the combination of tracks 12 and 13 together. And I will go ahead and play that and I'll find that transition in here somewhere. (Music playing) So there it is. A seamless transition. So that's a way to make sure two songs that were meant to play together, stay together.
Now of course the issue here is that you have now combined these two songs together, so if you really did just want to listen to the second song, you would have to manually jump to the middle of this joined track. Of course, another option is to create a copy of that song by itself, so I may try -- it didn't replace the existing individual versions of those songs. Now you might think that would defeat the purpose of joining the tracks in the first place, if your purpose was to make sure the track doesn't come up on its own if you're shuffling songs. But what you can do is select that individual song, choose Get Info by right clicking on it, and under the Options tab, you can check Skip when shuffling, and you can see mine is already checked.
Now I can do the same for the first part of that which is, "Who is God," Track 12 there. I will choose Skip when shuffling, click OK, and that way the individual versions of the songs will never appear when I shuffle my songs. Only the joined version will be available for shuffle. But I can always choose to manually play the individual versions of either of those tracks if I want to. So, that's how we join CD tracks. Now you may just want to go back and select your CD again, choose those two tracks, and under the Advanced menu, unjoin them. Now that's not really necessary, but I just wanted to make sure you knew that command was in there.
So that's how we join CD tracks and again just bear in mind that this only works with contiguous tracks you ripping off a CD.

Officials question ND Oil Patch census numbers
MINOT -- Population growth immediately following a natural disaster isn't typical. So Minot's growth following the 2011 Souris River flood is not only atypical, but local officials suspect the growth rate has been faster than the 1.8 percent increase estimated by the U.S. Census Bureau.

Wednesday 30th March, 2011
by Roséline
. . . with plans to spend the summer in nothing but fluttery summer dresses and billowy pleated skirts the colour of champagne, instantly fell head over heels for the washed silk charmeuse dresses and pretty pencil skirts of this recent collection by edelweiss by sarah, infused with pure 1940's hollywood glamour and a wonderfully modern approach to vintage style, every piece is perfect for a day at the office and a date afterward . . .

Here's what I came up with from reading the OP and also some of the really good posts be GLP'ers..... The OP will never (WILL, so, not yet) go back To Bayou Corne. He is a deputy of some type, and his superiors have information but won't share it with the outside world or even the Assumption Parrish residents. There are members of those "in the know" who found a workaround to avoid censoring that is taking place from WITHIN Bayou Corne/Assumption Parrish - in other words, info can get IN but it's being censored before it can get OUT. This must be the reason for the confusing/cryptical writing. By not combining certain words or phrases, OP is getting around the internet censor programs that prevent data from being leaked OUT of the area. Pretty smart move. OP is apparently getting help from others in this endeavor. OP says things will get worse with the situation there. Assumption Parrish is his home, but soon he won't be able to go back there. Others danced around the meaning but OP tried to hint that we needed to COMBINE two thoughts - BAYOU, and CORN (Corne). Opposite to RICE. So, Bayou Corne. OP says the kids can't go back to where there won't be something to go back to. Not good. OP stated that Isaac had nothing to do with this issue but later stated that the hurricane may in fact end up complicating things. This is not the primary danger however, but can make it worse. But OP also stated Isaac can't come where there is no HOME (Bayou Corne, OP's home). So this might mean something is very, very imminent. OP's home (Bayou Corne) is his heart and his heart is about to burst and he KNOWS it. This might mean that OP has direct knowledge of a catastrophic failure of the Butane dome that can't be stopped. OP repeatedly says WILL happen and HOME will not be there. I think this is what OP means. Changing the face of the nation means the coastline/borders of the land mass of the U.S. will be changed drastically - this is in line with the science of what is possible with the butane dome if it pops. This is frightening. OP said he and others were exhausted. I would imagine all emergency personell in the area are under close surveillance and it might be that OP and others who are attempting to warn/inform are doing so on their "off-shift" time. OP says in last post that Isaac is coming, and they didn't expect that, meaning it's a SECONDARY issue, not the main one. OP also says the locals are not being kept from leaving and that they are unaware of the "TRUE" danger and severity of the problem. But the censors are in place nevertheless in case some info is leaked. OP is saying that only those close to the actual working dynamics of the problem are fully aware of what is really going on. OP seems to also say that they want the "recipe" or the truth to get out because the RESTAURANT (government officials) are corrupt, I can only assume that OP means that keeping something this important from the locals first and the state/nation second is immoral and corrupt. My theory anyway. OP stated they had made their last post, I gather from this that the peices of what OP wanted to be known have been guessed by one or many of us. I have peiced together this theory from my own judgements of what OP stated and the assessment of other GLP'ers. At the end, OP states "By You, Korn" in relation to the song Twisted Transistor as the OP stated. Twisted Transistor, the song title, probably means some official bandwidth is scrambled/encoded. OP's last sentence ended with "Bayou Corne". [/quote] Yep I think your more or less spot on. [/quote] me too. [/quote] sounds like a hit to me, nice job. now add in the after effect of the boom. [/quote]
Original Message
Let the reader understand: I will never go back to Blue BAYOU, there will be no place for the Children to play soon. May as well eat RICE dogs from RICE Dog 7.
I am DEPUTY Dawg. Boss says can't say much, BIG BOSSES won't tell anyone THE TRUTH. But good people always find a workaround. Avoid the censors, no need for a V-chip here.
Please think hard about this. Remember things MUST get worse before they get better. I'm always at HOME when I make ASSUMPTIONS, but sooner or later you can NEVER go home again.
Much love people. And pray always.

GREENWOOD VILLAGE, Colo., Jan. 22, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Xtensible Solutions, LLC (www.xtensible.net), a leading provider of enterprise integration and information management services for utilities worldwide and subsidiary of Doble Engineering Company, today announced that they will be working with Oracle to develop an Industry Data Warehouse and Analytics Solution to address the increasing demands of utility real-time analytics. Utilities around the globe have been investing in real-time operational technologies to position themselves for the challenges of service enhancement, reliability and operational efficiency. While some utilities are focused on smart metering infrastructure, others are looking beyond metering and their basic capabilities to gain strategic value from grid and other customer technologies that stream data from a variety of devices. Indeed, smart grid and connected infrastructure challenges have spurred a worldwide demand for understanding how advanced analytics and "Big Data" technologies can help solve utility business problems in the areas of:
- Meter data analytics/usage and consumption analytics
- Customer management analytics
- Strategic asset management analytics
- Operational decision support analytics
- Smart grid integrated networks management analytics
- Enterprise performance management analytics
It is with this market demand in view that Xtensible and Oracle are working together to develop an advanced analytics and Big Data solution utilizing Oracle technology and infrastructure. Similar to what Oracle has accomplished in other industries with their Industry Data Model offering, this joint effort is targeting development of an Oracle Utility Data Model (OUDM) solution that includes a logical data model, prebuilt physical data models, intra-model ETLs, connectors, reports, star schemas, OLAP cubes, and data mining models for selected utility core businesses. The solution will be developed using Xtensible Solutions' MD3i Framework and will be built on core Oracle technologies within Oracle Business Intelligence and Oracle Data Warehouse portfolios.
The OUDM solution will be based on the leading utility industry model standard, the IEC Common Information Model (CIM), and will draw on information definitions from other relevant standards approved by the Smart Grid Interoperability Panel (SGIP). Such a solution can greatly reduce the time of implementation and the total cost of ownership as utilities continue to get strategic value from their information assets.
Brad Williams, Vice President of Oracle Utilities Industry Strategy, noted, "Oracle is committed to the utilities industry, and the company is uniquely qualified to help organizations manage Big Data challenges. Oracle is delighted to be working with Xtensible Solutions to develop a utility standards-based analytics data model founded on proven Oracle technologies, which can enable utilities worldwide to drive value from smart grid investments."
Terry Saxton, Vice President, Xtensible and Co-Chair of the CIM Users Group (CIMug), which is one of the UCA International Users Group (UCAIug) communities, believes that "a utility data model based on CIM standards provides utilities with the foundation for achieving information interoperability across their enterprise, whether it involves information exchanges between IT systems, access to information in data warehouses, or information presented from multiple sources via dashboards and corporate portals." Saxton added, "Without a CIM standards-based utility data model, the user is faced with the need for data conversion between proprietary formats at every step and the attendant risks of data inconsistency and errors."
About Xtensible Solutions
Xtensible Solutions, LLC (www.xtensible.net) is a leading provider of semantic-based integration and information management solutions to the utility industry worldwide. Xtensible is a subsidiary of Doble Engineering Company, a member of the Utility Solutions Group of ESCO Technologies Inc (NYSE: ESE), St. Louis.
Xtensible is a driving force behind the development and implementation of open standards, such as the IEC CIM, and related information exchange standards that have been identified as key to current and future interoperability initiatives for smart grid. With their MD3i Solution and professional service offerings already in use at numerous utility companies worldwide, Xtensible is committed to becoming a strategic partner with utilities in their transformation into the intelligent utilities of the future.

By Carmen Gonzalez The Internet of Things (IoT) is causing data centers to become radically decentralized and atomized within a new paradigm known as "fog computing." To support IoT applications, such as connected cars and smart grids, data centers' core functions will be decentralized out to the network's edges and endpoints (aka "fogs"). As this trend takes hold, Big Data analytics platforms will focus on high-volume log analysis (aka "logs") and rely heavily on cognitive-computing algorithms (aka "cogs") to make sense of it all.

THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED APT Restaurant Review: This Meatpacking District bar was once the best kept non-secret in town. Today, it's one of the best places to sip a cocktail. That is, if you can find it. There's no sign and only the press of a buzzer gets you in the door. But once inside, cocktail in hand, get cozy with the rest of the young-ish and hip folks who crowd the room. The bartenders here are topnotch, spinning bottles in the air and mixing up potent punches. APT is a perfectly apt spot to impress dates or out-of-town family and friends. The tiny kitchen serves up small plates. |

Police chaseSubmitted by WD (not verified) on Thu, 04/29/2010 - 6:36am.
My condolences are with the officer's family, however, there are so many innocent bystanders every year killed by police chases. Do the police care, NO. If they did they would stop the chases. But when it's one of they're own, it's a different story. The defendent did not kill the officer. He is in no way responsible for the officer's death. The chase could have been called off and then the officer would still be alive today. Also, did the defendent throw the box in the road that the officer swerved to avoid? NO. I believe the person at the Wilmington Police Dept. who authorized the chase should be on trial for the officer's death, not the defendant! »

Released: 1973
Rating: PG
A fairly tame, fairly lame blaxploitation footnote, starring drop-dead gorgeous Tamara Dobson and her improbable wardrobe.
After blowing up a $30 million field of opium poppies in Turkey, government agent Cleopatra Jones (Tamara Dobson) returns to the US when her pet charity, a drug rehabilitation center in Los Angeles, is raided by the police and one of its residents busted for heroin possession. The raid was
actually engineered by lesbian drug-lord Mommy (Shelley Winters), owner of the destroyed poppy fields, in order to bring Cleo back and kill her.
Mommy has additional troubles from one of her distributors, Doodlebug (Antonio Fargas), a renegade who breaks with her organization to go solo. Mommy's thugs, when they're not trying (and failing) to kill Cleo, manage to wipe out Doodlebug and his bodyguards; however Doodlebug's girlfriend
escapes. Cleo tracks down the girlfriend, but the two are immediately captured by a traitorous cop--the one who planted the heroin in the halfway house--and delivered to Mommy in a junkyard. Just as the pair are about to be dropped into a car-crusher, Cleo's friends arrive and save them. The
criminals are killed or captured and Cleo throws Mommy to her death.
Thoroughly routine in execution, the film features weak fights and a by-the-numbers car chase. If it weren't for the obscenity and racial epithets ("Oh you sweet pickaninny," Mommy spouts on first meeting Cleo face-to-face), the relatively lightweight film could almost be a 1970s
movie-of-the-week. Shelley Winters lends the film a slight degree of campy charm with her shrieking, shrewish portrayal of Mommy (her lesbianism a matter of innocuous allusions and a pinch on the butt), in a cast bolstered by dependable character actors (Dan Frazer, Esther Rolle, Bernie Casey),
chief among them the ever-enjoyable blaxploitation favorite Antonio Fargas.
Drug-dealing Doodlebug's oh-so-proper white British chauffeur ("Very good, sir. Will there be anything else, Mr. Doodlebug?") is indicative of the film's lowbrow mindset. Cleo herself, a sort of cross between James Bond and a Vegas showgirl, is first seen stepping out of a helicopter into the
Turkish heat, wearing a hooded cape and furs. Later costumes are equally outrageous, offering a bit of unintentional humor when Mommy's hitmen, trailing a virtually neon-clad Cleo off the plane, manage to lose her in a tiny gray crowd.
Tamara Dobson was one of several contenders to Pam Grier's crown as queen of blaxploitation. A fashion model who previously played small roles in FUZZ and COME BACK CHARLESTON BLUE (both 1972), she had her 15 minutes of fame with CLEOPATRA JONES and its sequel, working only infrequently
thereafter. Co-writer, co-producer Max Julien, who originated the concept of Cleo, had acted for director Richard Rush in a number of pictures for AIP and elsewhere (PSYCH-OUT, SAVAGE SEVEN, GETTING STRAIGHT), as well as in the proto-blaxploitation UPTIGHT (1968) for Jules Dassin. But his lasting
claim to fame would forever be as the pimp Goldie in THE MACK (1973). (Violence, profanity.)

Results-Oriented Government:
Practices That Can Help Enhance and Sustain Collaboration among Federal Agencies
GAO-06-15: Published: Oct 21, 2005. Publicly Released: Oct 21, 2005.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-6543
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
The federal government faces a series of challenges in the 21st century that will be difficult, if not impossible, for any single agency to address alone. Many issues cut across more than one agency and their actions are not well coordinated. Moreover, agencies face a range of barriers when they attempt to work collaboratively. This report identifies key practices that can help enhance and sustain agency collaboration. GAO also considered how the Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA) and the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) address collaboration among agencies. To illustrate these practices, we selected the Healthy People, wildland fire management, and Departments of Veterans Affairs and Defense's health resource sharing collaborations.
Collaboration can be broadly defined as any joint activity that is intended to produce more public value than could be produced when the organizations act alone. Agencies can enhance and sustain their collaborative efforts by engaging in the eight practices identified below. Running throughout these practices are a number of factors such as leadership, trust, and organizational culture that are necessary elements for a collaborative working relationship: define and articulate a common outcome; establish mutually reinforcing or joint strategies; identify and address needs by leveraging resources; agree on roles and responsibilities; establish compatible policies, procedures, and other means to operate across agency boundaries; develop mechanisms to monitor, evaluate, and report on results; reinforce agency accountability for collaborative efforts through agency plans and reports; and reinforce individual accountability for collaborative efforts through performance management systems. GAO has previously reported that GPRA, with its focus on strategic planning, the development of long-term goals, and accountability for results, provides a framework Congress, OMB, and executive branch agencies can use to consider the appropriate mix of long-term strategic goals and strategies needed to identify and address issues that cut across agency boundaries. In addition, to provide a broader perspective on the federal government's goals and strategies to address issues that cut across agencies, we previously recommended that (1) OMB develop a governmentwide performance plan as required by GPRA and (2) Congress consider amending GPRA to require a governmentwide strategic plan. OMB, through the President's Management Agenda (PMA), has emphasized improving government performance through governmentwide and agency-specific initiatives. One of these focuses specifically on improving coordination, but only between the Departments of Veterans Affairs and Defense for health programs and systems. However, many other areas that cut across agency boundaries would benefit from greater OMB focus and attention, including information sharing for homeland security, which GAO recently designated as a high-risk area. OMB has also used its Program Assessment Rating Tool (PART) diagnostic tool to determine, among other things, whether individual programs duplicate other efforts and if agencies coordinate and collaborate effectively with related programs. The PART tool provides general guidance for assessing effective program coordination and collaboration, but does not discuss practices for enhancing and sustaining collaboration, such as those described and illustrated in this report.
Recommendation for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: During 2007, consistent with our recommendation, OMB took several actions to improve coordination and collaboration across federal agency lines. First, OMB established two new coordination initiatives for the President's Management Agenda--federal credit and health quality information. In addition, OMB and relevant federal agencies issued a joint strategic plan to improve the safety of imported products.
Recommendation: The Director of OMB should continue to encourage interagency collaboration by focusing attention on additional areas in need of greater collaboration to achieve common outcomes and promoting the collaboration practices identified in this report. Options for doing this could involve: expanding the PMA initiatives and standards to include either an additional governmentwide initiative focused on improving collaboration across federal agencies or additional agency initiatives focused on specific areas in need of improved collaboration; expanding the standards for the PMA's strategic management of human capital initiative to reflect the need for agencies to hold individuals accountable, through their performance management systems, for coordinating and collaborating within and across organizational boundaries in order to help the agencies achieve their mission, goals, and outcomes; and supplementing the PART guidance on interagency coordination with information about the collaboration practices in this report.

Experiments indicate that the radiating near zone of a compressional circular transducer directly coupled to a homogeneous and isotropic solid has the following structures: there are geometrical zones where one can distinguish a plane compressional wave and toroidal waves, both compressional and shear, radiated by the transducer rim. As we have shown previously, the modern diffraction theory allows to describe these explicitly. It also gives explicit asymptotic description of waves present in the transition zones. A lot of work has been done by other authors in calculating the fields obtained as the result of a plane wave incident on a plane crack. Here, we present calculations which have been carried out in the framework of Geometrical Elastodynamics and pertain to scattering of toroidal waves by an infinite plane crack. We demonstrate that when the incident wave is toroidal shear there are gaps in the portion of the crack which at a given moment in time contribute to the scattered compressional waves. Using the uniform Keller's GTD our results may be extended to modeling diffraction of the toroidal waves by elliptic cracks and included in the code for high-frequency simulation of ultrasonic scattering in such cracks situated in the vicinity of a compressional circular transducer, currently under development at our Center.

Dubai: Ugly scenes erupted at the end of Al Shabab's 2-0 Etisalat Pro League victory over Al Wasl in Al Mamzar on Thursday night, resulting in the evacuation of player's wives and girlfriends from the stadium by police and players, including Diego Maradona, who mounted the stands from the pitch to help his partner Veronica.

Ugly scenes erupt after Dubai football match
Crowd trouble erupts between players' families and rival fans
- By Ashley M. Hammond, Staff Reporter
- Published: 23:14 March 29, 2012

- Veronica Ojeda (front left), the partner of Maradona (behind her), covers her eyes as WAGs being taken to safety away form the stadium after the crowd trouble in the stands during the Shabab v Al Wasl game on Thursday, March 29, 2012. Shabab won two nil.
Ciel, a Brazilian striker, who set up and then scored in the 2-0 win was the subject of much fury by Argentinean supporters from Diego Maradona's entourage, which included Maradona's partner Veronica and Al Wasl player Juan Mercier's other half. This reaction in turn sparked fury from Al Shabab supporters defending the Brazilian after countless insults were exchanged.
In the rush to get wives and girlfriends out of the stadium and into the safety of their cars – for fear of trouble - Juan Mercier's partner tripped and fell down the stairs before Mercier himself ran to her aide. Maradona was beside Mercier to assist his own partner to safety.
Al Wasl coach Diego Maradona said: "Some people are cowards. They only attack women and have no courage to confront men. This is the first time I am upset with the fans. If they are angry with me they should know that I did it [climbed the stands] for my wife because someone was calling her names. They shouldn't be angry with me they should be angry with the people who did this. They are cowards, not real fans.
"I accept defeat but I am not happy with what happened against the fans tonight. Any fans upset by this should know that I was only there to defend my wife and I am only against the people who were directly insulting my wife."
Paulo Bonamigo coach of Al Shabab said of the incident: "I didn't see anything. By the time that that was happening we were already down the tunnel. I don't think it had anything to do with our players. So it wasn't a problem with us. I have no comment. If there is anything to comment about this we will regroup, discuss and make a statement only after knowing all the facts. But as of now we didn't see anything."

From: Gerassimo Tselentis <g_tselentis@wo...> - 2003-03-31 17:36:05
Hi Thanks for the reply. I'm gonna allow myself to ask you something, which does concern graphics (I think). My laptop's CPU runs very hot (up to 50C when the fan kicks in). I addressed this to the ACPI list already, but I wanted to ask whether the fact that my agp chipset isn't supported has something to do with this? I've got Gkrellm running and when I scroll a webpage or document using the scroll pad, the CPU is fine. But when I scroll with my mouse (click n' hold vertical scrollbar), my CPU is being drained. It shows up to 70% usage just for scrolling. My understanding is that when scrolling with a mouse wheel or scroll pad, it is done a page at a time, but with the mouse it is 'continuous' or finer which requires more graphics updating. So, repeating my question, does the fact that my agp chipset isn't detected anything to do with this? Thanks, G. Tselentis |
