American Federation of Government Employees, Local 1858 and (Union) and United States Department of the Army, Army Aviation and Missile Command, Redstone Arsenal, Alabama (Agency)
[ v56 p1115 ]
56 FLRA No. 198
February 28, 2001
Before the Authority: Donald S. Wasserman, Chairman; Dale Cabaniss and Carol Waller Pope, Members.
I. Statement of the Case
This case is before the Authority on a negotiability appeal filed by the Union under § 7105(a)(2)(E) of the Federal Service Labor-Management Relations Statute (the Statute), and concerns the negotiability of three proposals.
The proposals were offered during negotiations over Agency changes to Army Regulation 690-400, Chapter 4302, Total Army Performance Evaluations System (TAPES). As relevant here, the Agency: (1) changed the formula for determining overall performance ratings; (2) eliminated the process for notifying employees of the number of other employees at the same grade level whose performance was rated at each of the five overall performance levels by various management officials; and (3) revised the "Army values" that are defined in TAPES for application to employees in appraisals.
For the reasons that follow, we find that the proposals are not within the Agency's obligation to bargain. Accordingly, we dismiss the petition for review.
II. Proposal 1
Base System, GS 8 and Below.
Total Army Performance Evaluation System
Success Level 1 (SL 1)--Rated Excellence in 2 or more of non-supervisory responsibilities and success in the remaining.
Success Level 2 (SL 2)--Rated Excellence in 1 of non-supervisory responsibilities and success in the other non- supervisory responsibilities.
Senior System
Applicable to bargaining unit employees in the Senior System.
Total Army Performance Evaluation System
Success Level 1 (SL 1)--Rated Excellence over 50% Objectives.
Success Level 2 (SL 2)--Rated Excellence 25-50% over Objectives. [ [n1] ]
A Positions of the Parties
1. Agency
The Agency argues that Proposal 1 violates its rights to direct employees and assign work because it prohibits the Agency from modifying the formula it will use to evaluate an employee's overall performance rating and, "[i]n essence, [it] establishes a specified rating formula." Statement of Position at 8. The Agency also argues that "[t]he fact that the [U]nion's proposal seeks to maintain a rating formula that once was included as a management initiative does not render the [U]nion's proposal negotiable." Id. at 9.
2. Union
The Union contends that TAPES is a "negotiated item within the Agreement." Petition at 2. The Union also contends that its proposal would reinstate the previous formula for determining overall ratings and that doing so "does not excessively or directly interfere with a management right." Id.
B. Meaning of the Proposal
The parties agree that Proposal 1 would prescribe the formulas for calculating whether an employee's performance warrants an overall summary rating of Success [ v56 p1116 ] Level 1 or Success Level 2 in the Base System and in the Senior System. The parties also agree that the rating formula contained in the TAPES regulation has been revised, and that Proposal 1 would reinstate the pre-revision formula.
C. Analysis and Conclusion
1. Proposal 1 affects management's rights to direct employees and assign work.
Management's rights to direct employees and assign work include the rights to determine the quantity, quality, and timeliness of employees' work products and to establish employees' work priorities. See NAGE, Local R14-52, 45 FLRA 910, 914 (1992) (citation omitted). Proposals that establish particular levels of performance required to achieve a particular summary performance rating affect management's rights to direct employees and assign work. See AFGE, Local 225, 56 FLRA 686, 687-88 (2000).
Proposal 1 would require the Agency to change its current performance rating formulas to the formulas set forth in the proposal. As the proposal would establish the particular levels of performance required to achieve a particular summary performance rating, it affects management's rights to direct employees and assign work. See id. We note, in this connection, that the Union does not dispute the Agency's assertion that Proposal 1 affects management's rights. This also provides a basis for our finding. See AFGE, Local 2031, 56 FLRA 32, 34 (2000).
2. The Union has not demonstrated that Proposal 1 constitutes a procedure or an appropriate arrangement.
The Union states in its petition for review that Proposal 1 "does not excessively or directly interfere with a management right." Petition at 2. Construing the Union's statement as a claim that the proposal constitutes a procedure or appropriate arrangement, we note that the Union provides no arguments or authority to support such a claim. Where a union offers no arguments or authority to support its bare assertion that a particular provision constitutes a procedure or appropriate arrangement, the Authority does not consider that assertion. See AFGE, Local 1302, Council of Prison Locals C-33, 55 FLRA 1078, 1079 (1999). As the Union offers no support for its statement, we reject that statement as a bare assertion and conclude that the Union has not demonstrated that Proposal 1 constitutes a procedure or an appropriate arrangement. [n2]
The Union also asserts that TAPES is a "negotiated item within the Agreement." Petition at 2. To the extent the Union is arguing that Proposal 1 is negotiable because it reflects the formula previously contained in the parties' agreement, the Authority has held that prior bargaining over performance formulas does not render future bargaining mandatory. See AFGE, Local 225, 56 FLRA at 689. Accordingly, the Union's assertion does not provide a basis for concluding that the Agency is required to bargain over Proposal 1.
As Proposal 1 affects management's rights to direct employees and assign work under § 7106(a)(2)(A) and (B) of the Statute, and is not encompassed by § 7106(b)(2) or (3), it is outside the Agency's duty to bargain. Accordingly, we dismiss the petition as to Proposal 1.
III. Proposal 2
To retain the Senior Rater and the Senior Rater Profile. [ [n3] ]
A. Positions of the Parties
1. Agency
As an initial matter, the Agency asserts that the portion of the proposal requiring the Agency to retain "the Senior Rater" should "not be part of this negotiability appeal" under the Authority's Regulations. Statement of Position at 10. In this connection, the Agency contends that the original version of the proposal submitted to the Agency required retention of the "Senior Rater Profile" but not the Senior Rater. The Agency acknowledges that it agreed during the Post-Petition Conference that there was no substantive difference between the revised and the original proposals. However, [ v56 p1117 ] the Agency states that "a more careful look . . . now indicates otherwise." Id.
With regard to the requirement that the Agency retain the Senior Rater Profile, the Agency argues that the proposal "directly impacts on the privacy interests of" employees whose performance ratings are disclosed by the Profile, and that, as a result, the proposal "may violate the Privacy Act, 5 U.S.C. § 552a." Id. at 12. In particular, the Agency asserts that, in some situations, disclosure of the Senior Rater Profile would be tantamount to disclosing individual employees' performance ratings. The Agency offers as examples situations where: (1) a Senior Rater rates only two employees at any particular grade level (an example that the Agency contends is not "uncommon", id.); (2) a group of equally-graded employees is aware that one employee is not performing as well as the rest of the group; and (3) everyone at a particular grade level receives the same rating.
2. Union
The Union asserts that the Senior Rater Profile allows employees to determine how well they are performing relative to their peers and enables them to ask a Senior Rater how they can improve their performance to equal that of their peers. The Union "agrees with the Agency that there needs to be a Senior Rater" because "[t]he system needs these checks and balances to ensure that the performance ratings are done properly." Petition at 2. The Union does not request that the portion of the proposal concerning the Senior Rater Profile be severed from the portion concerning the Senior Rater.
B. Meaning of the Proposal
There is no dispute that, as relevant here, Proposal 2 would require the Agency to retain its practice of preparing and distributing Senior Rater Profiles to all employees. See Statement of Position at 7; Petition at 2 ("[t]he Profile allows the employee to see how well they are doing in relation to his/her peers."). [n4] There is no dispute that, as defined in the TAPES regulation, the Senior Rater Profiles contain employee performance ratings. See Attachment 2 to Statement of Position at Glossary-1 (the Senior Rater Profile is a "profile which shows the number of Ratees at the same grade level (regardless of pay plan) that the Senior Rater rated at each of the five overall performance rating levels for a rating period.").
C. Analysis and Conclusion
The Union did not file a response to the Agency's Statement of Position in this case. Further, unlike the situations with respect to Proposals 1 and 3, there is nothing in the record indicating the Union's position with respect to the Agency's Privacy Act claim.
Section 2424.32 of the Authority's Regulations provides that a party's failure to respond to an argument "will, where appropriate, be deemed a concession to such argument or assertion." The Authority has applied this regulation to find that a union conceded that a proposal affected a management right under § 7106(a) in a case where the record was silent with respect to the union's position on that issue and where the agency's argument was supported by Authority precedent. See Int'l Fed'n of Prof'l and Technical Eng'rs, Local 96, 56 FLRA 1033, 1034-35 (2000).
Like Int'l Fed'n of Prof'l and Technical Eng'rs, Local 96, the Agency's position here is supported by applicable precedent. In this regard, under the framework established by the Authority in United States Dep't of Transp., Fed. Aviation Admin., N.Y. TRACON, Westbury, N.Y., 50 FLRA 338, 345 (1995) (TRACON), an agency asserting a Privacy Act bar to disclosure of information is required to demonstrate: (1) that the information is contained in a "system of records" under the Privacy Act; (2) that disclosure of the information would implicate privacy interests; and (3) the nature and significance of those interests. See also NTEU, 55 FLRA 1174, 1179 (1999). If the agency makes the requisite showings, then the burden shifts to the party asserting that disclosure would not result in a clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy under Exemption 6 to: (1) identify a public interest cognizable under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA); and (2) demonstrate how disclosure of the requested information will serve that public interest. See id. at 1179-80. Once the "respective interests have been articulated," the Authority "balance[s] the privacy interests against the public interest[,]" with the balance weighted in favor of disclosure. TRACON, 50 FLRA at 345, 346.
With regard to the first inquiry under TRACON, the Authority has held that performance ratings of federal employees are contained in a system of records within the meaning of the Privacy Act. See United States Dep't of Transp., Fed. Aviation Admin., New England Region, Bradley Air Traffic Control Tower, Windsor Locks, Conn., 51 FLRA 1054, 1061 (1996) (FAA, New England). Proposal 2 does not require disclosure of name-identified performance ratings. However, even where an employee's name is not identified [ v56 p1118 ] on a requested document, if the identity of the employee is nonetheless apparent, then the employee's privacy interests are affected. See id. See also Carter v. United States Dep't of Commerce, 830 F.2d 388, 391 (D.C. Cir. 1987). Moreover, "what constitutes identifying information . . . must be weighed not only from the viewpoint of the public, but also from the vantage of those who would have been familiar" with those individuals. Dep't of the Air Force v. Rose, 425 U.S. 352, 380 (1976). Accord Alirez v. NLRB, 676 F.2d 423, 427-28 (10th Cir. 1982) (where "[t]he requested documents relate to a few incidents involving about a dozen people[,]" and "[e]ven sanitized," they would enable people "who had specific knowledge of these incidents to identify readily the informant and persons discussed in each document[,]" disclosure was not required).
It is undisputed that Proposal 2 would require that the Senior Rater Profile be "distributed" to all employees. Response at 7. It is also undisputed that the Senior Rater Profile contains employee performance ratings. Accordingly, we conclude that the proposal would require disclosure of name-redacted performance ratings to employees.
The Agency argues that, even though the Senior Rater Profile would not include employees' names, employees would be able to determine which individuals received which ratings in certain situations, including those where: (1) the Senior Rater appraises only two employees at a particular grade; and (2) all employees are given the same appraisal rating. The Agency asserts, in addition, that the first example is not "uncommon." Statement of Position at 11. These assertions are reasonable and not controverted by the Union, which did not respond in any way to the Agency's Privacy Act argument. Accordingly, we find that, in at least some situations, disclosure of the Senior Rater Profile would be tantamount to disclosure of individual employees' performance ratings.
Based on the foregoing, Proposal 2 would require the Agency to disclose information that is contained in a "system of records" under the Privacy Act. Thus, the Agency has satisfied the first inquiry under TRACON, 50 FLRA 338. With regard to the second and third inquiries, the Authority has held that employees have "significant" privacy interests in shielding their individual performance appraisals from public view. Id. Accord FAA, New England, 51 FLRA at 1061. Consistent with this precedent, the Agency has satisfied its burden under TRACON.
The Union has not responded to the Agency's argument, or otherwise articulated a public interest in disclosure. The Authority previously has held that disclosure of employee evaluation material serves the public interest because "the public is served if [an agency] carries out its personnel functions fairly, equitably, and in accordance with laws, rules and regulations." TRACON, 50 FLRA at 347 (citations omitted). In this case, the Union asserts simply that Proposal 2 would permit employees to determine their performance relative to their peers, thereby enabling them to achieve ratings that are on par with those of their peers. The Union does not assert how this would serve a public interest that is cognizable under TRACON. In any event, an interest that is specific to the Union may not be considered in balancing interests under FOIA Exemption 6. See United States Dep't of Defense v. FLRA, 510 U.S. 487, 496 (1994); United States Dep't of Justice v. Reporters Comm. for Freedom of the Press, 489 U.S. 749, 771 (1989). Further, the Authority has held that "the public interest . . . is not enhanced by disclosure that includes the identities of affected employees." NTEU, 55 FLRA at 1180. To the extent that the disclosure required by Proposal 2 would reveal the identities of affected employees in some situations, there is no basis for concluding that disclosure would serve a public interest.
The Union has not met its burden of rebutting the Agency's prima facie case under the analysis set forth in TRACON, 50 FLRA 338. Therefore, the Agency's Privacy Act argument is supported by applicable precedent. In this situation -- where the record is silent with respect to the Union's position on the Privacy Act claim and where the Agency's claim is supported by applicable precedent -- we apply § 2424.32 of the Authority's regulations and find that the Union has conceded that Proposal 2 is inconsistent with the Privacy Act. Accordingly, we dismiss the petition with regard to Proposal 2. [n5] [ v56 p1119 ]
IV. Proposal 3
To delete DA Values and Ethics (in the performance appraisals) in its entirety. [ [n6]

NHL Playoff Capsules
ST. LOUIS (AP) — Alexander Steen scored at 26 seconds of the third overtime to give the St. Louis Blues a 4-3 victory over the defending Stanley Cup champion Chicago Blackhawks in Game 1 of their first-round playoff series on Thursday night.
Steen beat Corey Crawford off a pair of short passes from Steve Ott and David Backes to cap the longest overtime game in franchise history.
Ryan Miller blanked the Blackhawks after Patrick Kane scored on a breakaway to put Chicago up 3-2 late in the first period and Jaden Schwartz tied it with 1:45 to go in regulation.
Both teams face a short turnaround with Game 2 Saturday afternoon.
The Blues' previous longest overtime game was a 4-3 loss at Detroit in 1984 that extended 37 minutes, 7 seven seconds. The home record for a playoff overtime game was 33:49 extra time in a 5-4 win over Chicago on April 20, 1989.
St. Louis had to kill off delay-of-game penalties for shooting the puck into the stands in the first two overtimes. The Blackhawks killed a holding penalty in the second overtime.
Jonathan Toews, like Kane back from a lengthy injury absence, had two assists for Chicago.
Schwartz, Vladimir Tarasenko and Adam Cracknell all scored their first playoff goal for the Blues.
Ryan Miller allowed three goals on just seven shots in the first with defensemen Johnny Oduya and Brent Seabrook also scoring for Chicago.
DENVER (AP) — Paul Stastny scored 7:27 into overtime after tying the game with 13.4 seconds remaining in regulation, lifting Colorado over Minnesota in the opener of the Western Conference quarterfinals.
Gabriel Landeskog, Ryan O'Reilly and Jamie McGinn also added goals for Colorado in Patrick Roy's postseason debut behind the bench.
The Hall of Fame goaltender led the Avalanche to two Stanley Cup titles as a player.
Erik Haula, Charlie Coyle, Ryan Suter and Kyle Brodziak scored for the Wild.
Game 2 is Saturday.
Stastny beat Ilya Bryzgalov with a close-in wrist shot in overtime, the same type of play Stastny used to tie the game in regulation.
Roy made a bold move with 3:01 remaining, pulling Semyon Varlamov for an extra skater. Erik Johnson saved a potential empty-net goal with over a minute left as he raced down the ice and slapped away the puck just before it crossed the goal line.
Moments later, Stastny beat Bryzgalov with a shot over his shoulder — the capacity crowd erupted.
NEW YORK (AP) — Brad Richards and Derek Stepan scored power-play goals 47 seconds apart in the third period, and New York beat Philadelphia in the playoff opener to stretch its home-winning streak over the rival Flyers to nine games.
The teams were locked in a 1-1 tie when Jason Akeson — playing in just his third career NHL game — was given a double high-sticking penalty for clipping Rangers forward Carl Hagelin with 7:35 remaining.
New York quickly took advantage.
Richards gave the Rangers their first lead of the night when a rebound of Martin St. Louis' shot came to him, and he fired it in from the right circle, punctuating the moment with an emphatic fist pump at 8:22.

A century in the making: Girl Scouts to celebrate 100 years
Sorry boys, 2012 is "The Year of the Girl."
To commemorate its 100th anniversary, Girl Scouts USA has launched a national campaign to promote leadership among girls, highlighting gender inequities and charting a plan to trample the barriers girls face.
While the campaign is new, the emphasis on female leadership is quite old. Girl Scout history shows the organization has long been progressive when it comes to women's rights and societal issues.
"Girl Scouting started at a time when girls were pretty much confined to their homes," said Sue Stewart, CEO for Girl Scouts of Gulfcoast Florida. "It was considered radical for girls to go explore outside."
Although the earliest badges focused largely on homemaking skills, Girl Scouts founder Juliette Gordon Low also exposed girls to traditionally male interests, introducing badges in aviation and circuitry in 1913.
Today, 2.3 million girls participate in Girl Scouts nationwide, with more than 10,000 Girl Scouts active in Southwest Florida. Although they may not do much primitive camping, today's Girl Scouts explore hundreds of interests, ranging from computer science to adventure sports and environmental health.
"The basic premise is the same: We help girls to become better women. We teach leadership, self confidence, teamwork and other skills," said Marti Shuster, a lifetime Girl Scout who has spent nearly half a century in scouting as a girl and as an adult volunteer. "The only thing that has really changed are the badges that the girls can earn. We don't have a laundress badge anymore, but we have badges on computers and business."
When Gordon Low held her first meeting of the U.S. Girl Guides in Savannah, Ga., on March 12, 1912, she knew she was starting a movement which would reach much farther than the 18 girls in her living room. She reportedly called her cousin, saying, "Come right over. I've got something for the girls of Savannah, and all America and all the world, and we're going to start it tonight!"
By 1920, the movement had grown to 70,000, and by the end of the 1930s, there were more than 200,000 registered Girl Scouts.
In Southwest Florida, the first Collier County troop formed in 1927. Lee County's first Girl Scout troop dates back to 1921.
Local Girl Scouts will celebrate their history this Saturday with a 100th anniversary event at Fleischmann Park in Naples, showcasing "Girl Scouts: Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow." The event will feature nods to the past with Girl Scout skills and traditions, as well as current initiatives like the Forever Green recycling project.
Shuster will be there, modeling an authentic 1920s khaki uniform with a skirt and long sleeves made of heavy cotton material.
"Uniforms are a lot more comfortable now," she noted.
Like the uniforms, Girl Scout programming also has evolved through the generations. During the Great Depression, Girl Scouts led community relief efforts, with clothing and food drives and canning programs. In the 1940s, Girl Scouts aided the war effort by collecting fat and scrap metal.
In the era of racial segregation, Girl Scouts went on record supporting civil rights, launching a nationwide initiative to overcome prejudice in the 1960s. On Nov. 14, 1969, more than 100 Girl Scouts were invited to be special guests of NASA at the launch of Apollo 12.
The 1970s and '80s brought initiatives focusing on global issues such as nutrition, health, literacy and use of natural resources.
Today, girls face new challenges with the information age and the proliferation of social media, Stewart said. Newer badges focus on cyber safety and bullying. A recent Girl Scout conference featured the topic of human trafficking.
"It's taking the same caring and consideration and kindness but focusing on new world issues," Stewart said.
Girl Scouts USA now has its own Research Institute, which recently found preteen girls are maturing faster than previous generations mentally and physically, but not emotionally, which makes safe havens like scouting all the more significant, Stewart said.
"Being involved in a group just for girls is so important," agreed Amanda Jacob, the council's director of volunteer management. "Girls will speak up more when they're with girls. They like to lead in a group of girls."
While some take those leadership skills to the business or political arena — like former Girl Scouts Katie Couric and Sandra Day O'Connor — many pour their leadership right back into the organization which nurtured it.
"I went from a shy little kid to becoming a leader," said Shuster, who has held an array of positions from Day Camp director to cookie coordinator to National Delegate. "The activities and experience I've had both as a girl and as an adult in Girl Scouts have been absolutely phenomenal."
Jones credits a Girl Scout leader for inspiring her interest in first aid. She became the first female volunteer firefighter in East Amherst, N.Y., and was awarded the Red Cross' highest honor, the Clara Barton Award.
One pitfall of her training was she always fretted about safety when taking her troop of 42 girls camping, which they did often.
"We went camping 286 times," Jones recalled. "Why I know it was that many times is because I hated it the first time, and I hated it the last time."
Marsha Alleman, another lifetime Girl Scout, says her fondest memories come from Girl Scout camping trips.
"Back then you had to dig your own latrine," she recalled. "It was primitive camping. That's what made it so much more fun."
Shuster, Jones and Alleman are part of a team, along with Charlene Woolfe, which has spent the last decade cataloguing and recording Girl Scout history in Southwest Florida as the Gulfcoast council celebrates its 50th anniversary simultaneously with the parent organization's centennial.
The group has created a history book and collected artifacts for a new museum at council headquarters in Sarasota.
After 53 years of scouting, Alleman claims she loves Girl Scouts so much, "I bleed green!"
"It has truly made me the person I am today," she said. "Once a girl learns she can do something and do it well and share with others, it opens up the world to her."

I'm in the bathroom, door locked, staring at the mirror, stripped down to the heart-covered boxers my wife, Kathy, gave me for Valentine's Day. As I hold the 0.5 cc syringe, I'm humming Neil Young's "The Needle and the Damage Done"—a bit of black humor to pump up enough courage to jab the hypodermic into my abdomen.
My syringe is tipped with a hollow 31-gauge needle that's not significantly bigger than a mosquito's proboscis, so it's not the stick, exactly, that I fear. (Well, maybe a little.) What scares me is the syringe's contents: human chorionic gonadotropin, or hCG. It's not an illegal steroid, nor is it growth hormone or testosterone, but it could still get me thrown out of baseball or the NFL. It is a natural glycopeptide hormone made in the placenta of a pregnant woman, extracted from her urine, and purified into the Pregnyl—made by pharmaceutical giant Merck—loaded into my syringe.
That's correct: What I'm about to shoot up came from pee.
Why? You're right to ask. As a drug, hCG is used as a fertility treatment. Since I'm blessed with three beautiful children already, I'm in no need of a sperm booster. Rather, the shot of hCG is to jumpstart my testes to produce more testosterone. The fact is, my T gas tank is nearing E.
A simple blood test a month ago revealed that my total testosterone was low, at 244 nanograms per deciliter (ng/dl); normal is 300 to 1,000, though some doctors prefer it to be above 350. A second test—considered more telling because it measures "free" testosterone, the type that binds with receptors all over the body and makes important stuff happen—was very low, at 45 picograms per milliliter.
"Forty-five is about the level of a boy just beginning puberty," says Florence Comite, M.D., an endocrinologist who practices in New York City. Dr. Comite adds that for optimal functioning, free testosterone should be between 150 and 250 pg/ml. Her statement hits me like a kick in the balls. Testosterone is what makes men men. It's the fuel for muscle mass, bone density, and body hair. It plays a supporting role in every major organ system, from your arteries to your brain.
Starting in his late 30s or early 40s, a man's testosterone level begins to wane; research has shown that it drops by 1 to 2 percent a year after age 40. At that gradual rate, most men don't notice the decline until they hit their 50s, when symptoms such as reduced energy, loss of libido, and weaker erections start to appear, says Dr. Comite, the author of Keep It Up: The Power of Precision Medicine to Conquer Low T and Revitalize Your Life (check out the book here). The medical term is "hypogonadotropic hypogonadism," but it's also been described as "andropause" or even "male menopause."
Me? Low T? Emasculated at age 52? It can't be. I'm still relatively young and in better shape than many of my peers. While my libido may have dipped since my randier fraternity days, it's still strong. But I am doughier all around; I can't bench-press 280 anymore; long runs have become runwalks. Most important, I've learned that low T is linked to diabetes and heart disease, both of which run in my family.

There has been a dramatic increase in the amount of narrative work published by Chicana and Latina authors in the past 5 to 10 years. Nonetheless, there has been little attempt to catalog this material. This reference provides convenient access to all forms of narrative written by Chicana and Latina authors from the early 1940s through 2002. In doing so, it helps users locate these works and surveys the growth of this vast body of literature.
The volume cites more than 2,750 short stories, novels, novel excerpts, and autobiographies written by some 600 Mexican American, Puerto Rican, Cuban American, Dominican American, and Nuyorican women authors. These citations are grouped in five indexes: an author/title index, title/author index, anthology index, novel index, and autobiography index. Short annotations are provided for the anthologies, novels, and autobiographies. Thus the user who knows the title of a work can discover the author, the other works the author has written, and the anthologies in which the author's shorter pieces have been reprinted, along with information about particular works.

Hi: 9° Lo:2°
By Beth Sharp Thursday 01 May 2014 Updated: 01/05 22:32
A HANBURY medical student needs £3,000 to help provide desperate medical care for sick newborn babies and children in Uganda.
Eleanor Johns, who is in her third year at Brighton and Sussex Medical School, has volunteered to fly to East Africa in August to spend over a month at Mulago Hospital in Kampala.
The money raised will pay for the 22-year-old's flights, hostel, immunisations and visa. So far she has managed to collect £900 and is appealing to Standard readers to help her find the rest.
During her time at the hospital Eleanor will be spending three weeks working with pregnant women in the department of obstetrics and three weeks working with children and new-born babies in paediatric medicine.
She will also be participating in an outreach programme with Alive Medical Centre in Namuwongo slums for people affected by HIV and AIDs.
While in Uganda, Eleanor will be writing a blog about her experiences to keep her sponsors updated on the work she will be doing there.
Eleanor said she was heading to Uganda because she was really passionate and interested in global health.
"I am a bit nervous but I have volunteered in Kenya and Malawi on a non-medical basis before.
"I volunteered at a school and helped mentally disabled children in Kenya and when I was there I fell in love with East Africa, it was really beautiful.
"As a white female you have to be careful and sensible - for instance you don't go out on your own at night.
"But, because we are in the main city and we have supervisors, I'm not too worried.
"We have everything in place for our own safety - you have to go through lots of protocols at the university.
"I am hoping to help wherever I can and I also hope to learn from medical professionals and patients at Mulago.
"This trip will be a vital step towards one day being able to work for non-governmental organisations such as UNICEF or MSF, all over the world, in areas where medical care is so vital - something which I am incredibly passionate about.
"I'm really looking forward to it, I can't wait."

Danielle Anne Brisebois (born June 28, 1969) is an American producer, singer-songwriter and former actress. She is most recognized for her role as Stephanie Mills on the sitcoms All in the Family and its spin-off Archie Bunker's Place (for which she was nominated for a Golden Globe Award), as well as playing Molly in the original Broadway production of the musical Annie.
In the 1990s she recorded two solo albums, Arrive All Over You and Portable Life, and was a member of the New Radicals and contributed to writing the songs for the album Maybe You've Been Brainwashed Too. She is a successful songwriter, collaborating on such hits as Natasha Bedingfield's "Unwritten", and "Pocketful of Sunshine".
Brisebois was born in Brooklyn, New York on June 28, 1969. She began her career as a child actress appearing in her first movie, The Premonition (1976), at the age of seven. In 1977, she appeared in an episode of Kojak and began starring in the original Broadway cast of Annie as the youngest of the orphans, Molly. (Jay-Z later sampled a clip of Brisebois from Annie for his song "Hard Knock Life (Ghetto Anthem)"). In the late 1970s, she joined the cast of All in the Family later also starring in its spin-off Archie Bunker's Place in the early 1980s. She was nominated for six Young Artist Awards from 1980 to 1984, winning two; in 1981 as Best Young Actress in a TV Special for Mom, the Wolfman and Me and in 1982 as Best Young Actress in a Television Series for Archie Bunker's Place. In 1982 she was also nominated for a Golden Globe as Best Supporting Actress in a Series, Mini-Series or Motion Picture Made for TV, again for Archie Bunker's Place.[1]
Brisebois appeared in several episodes of Battle of the Network Stars and Circus of the Stars in the early 1980s and played the daughter of William Devane's character on Knots Landing in the series' fifth season. In the late 1980s, she had several single-episode appearances in various TV series, including Hotel; Mr. Belvedere; Murder, She Wrote; Tales from the Darkside; and Days of our Lives. In 2005, she ranked number 50 of VH1's 100 Greatest Kid Stars.[2]
Brisebois began her career as a recording artist in the early 1990s by providing backing vocals on Intoxifornication, the 1992 album by rock singer Gregg Alexander; this marked the beginning of a long-standing collaboration with Alexander, who co-wrote, produced and sang on her first solo album Arrive All Over You in 1994. Despite a disappointing commercial performance in U.S, the album became a minor hit in Europe, Arrive All Over You performed well critically and continues to maintain a cult following. Mackenzie Wilson of Allmusic described the album as "an earnest and impressive effort ... [that] went largely unnoticed during the reign of gangsta rap and grunge" and compared it favourably to Alanis Morissette's Jagged Little Pill.[3] Her cover of "Gimme Little Sign" was a minor hit in Europe.
In 1998, Brisebois became a member of Alexander's New Radicals group, who scored their greatest successes with the hit single "You Get What You Give" and the million-selling album Maybe You've Been Brainwashed Too. She provided distinctive female vocals to the group's sound on tracks such as "Mother We Just Can't Get Enough" and "Jehovah Made This Whole Joint For You". Alexander quickly disbanded the group in 1999, but went on to produce and co-write Brisebois' second solo album, Portable Life, which was originally scheduled to be released on October 26, 1999. Promotional copies of the album and the single "I've Had It" were distributed, reviews appeared in the press and an "I've Had It" video was even shot, but for unknown reasons RCA Records cancelled the release at the last minute. The album was delayed until September 30, 2008, when it was released as a digital download via iTunes and Amazon.com. A compilation album of Arrive All Over You-era tracks, entitled Just Missed the Train, was later released through Sony BMG on September 26, 2006.[citation needed]
Brisebois has written and produced numerous songs for various other artists, including Carly Smithson, Clay Aiken, Kelly Clarkson, Sophie Ellis-Bextor, Paula Abdul and Kylie Minogue. She co-wrote Natasha Bedingfield's Top 10 hits "Unwritten" and "Pocketful of Sunshine", and Donna Summer's comeback hit "Stamp Your Feet". In November 2008, she reunited with Alexander, former New Radicals guitarist Rusty Anderson and producer Rick Nowels as The Not So Silent Majority. She sang lead vocals on their song "Obama Rock", supporting the election of Barack Obama. In 2009, she also had two songs on Leona Lewis' album Echo including "Alive" and "Let It Rain". Later that year, Danielle won big at the BMI Awards, both in the US and UK, with "Pocketful of Sunshine" including two of the top awards, the Robert S. Musel award for Song of the Year and the College Song of the Year, as well as a third award for Film and Television for "Unwritten".
In 2012, Brisebois co-write the Halestorm's song "Here's To Us", which was featured on the season finale of Glee. Her recent credits also include co-writing the song "Forward" with Gregg Alexander, Nick Lashley and Fred Golding for President Obama's re-election campaign. She also co-wrote songs for John Carney's (writer, director of Oscar and eight Tony award winning Once) the 2014 feature film Begin Again starring Mark Ruffalo, Keira Knightley, Adam Levine, Hailee Steinfeld and James Corden.
Brisebois is married to producer/songwriter and guitar player Nick Lashley She has twin daughters Charlotte and Lola Lashley, born in December 2013.

Scotland and The North
... for one night. We moved on the next morning and stopped in Matlock Bath for lunch. This town is referred to as the sea side resort town that's not by the ocean. It was full of fish and chip places, an aquarium and amusement arcades. being the middle of winter, it was empty. We pushed south to Stratford-upon-Avon that night. This is the town were Shakespeare was born and it was obvious. All the street names were themed. The town was very fake old, with ...
Highland Coos and Loch Ness Monsters!
... late that night to go on a ghost hunt in the currently unoccupied side of the building where we weren't staying, which is believed to be haunted by a ghost named Professor Binns. Binns allegedly has a foot fetish and tickles the feet of sleeping backpackers, causing them all to believe they dreamed it until they all work out they all dreamed the same thing... We made our way up the stairs, all suitably freaked out and edgy and (yep) holding hands. ...

Oh well this must be a Scottish take on the dish. Then the prawn omelette finally come out sitting on top of about 5 kilos of chips and peas. Now I love peas and chips, ahh **** it lets just eat up. After that we headed back to the Inn and having a quite night prior to the drive to Glasgow ...

We visited where I was born screaming and kicking into this world (Nairn Hospital) and the varous places I lived up to 7. The first place was a pre-fabricated house which was no longer there. The old place had had a wire time fence around it ...
Neolithic Orkneys - Graham's Perspective
... the Orkneys, including Skara Brae. Once again there was a large but almost empty car park, as we had just missed Andy and his tourist bus. The centre is beautifully built from the flat slates, so feels in keeping with the place.
The tour starts with a four minute movie telling us what little we know about the inhabitants of this settlement so recently uncovered (a hundred years or so) by a savage storm. What was most interesting is that the settlement used to sit further from ...

TFA does not mention anything about security, but, I was wondering how exactly they would take care of this.
It's been going on in Africa for quite a while. It sounds like they are just investing more in owning the full process so they can make more profit from what is already going on and will surely be growing. The cell phone companies in much of Africa have essentially become the banks for many people, and of course the vast majority of phones you will find there are Nokia phones.
I was in a meeting last friday with a guy from a communications lab at the University of Central Florida. He is working on distance learning with smart phones. I think we may be doing a test study with them in Kenya next year. We were primarily focused on the education software part of it, but much of the discussion also dealt with microloans and transferring of funds via this method. We would like what we do to be self sustaining. It's really some very exciting stuff I think, but I may be a bit biased.
Not directly related to the article - but they are using Android as their primary platform. I'm stoked about that too because I think Android is going to be huge down the road.
GSM only authenticates one way, not both, so it is almost ideal setup for man in the middle attacks. One of the presentations at last year's CCC, the 25C3 [events.ccc.de] covered this, but you can find plenty of older and newer material on it elsewhere.
Any GSM phone-based payment system has some big challenges. GPRS could be better, since you can then run something behind SSL or SSH. However, even then, when it comes to money, the designers must design the system on the assumption that the network is insecure, perhaps even the endpoints.
No amount of careful planning will ever replace dumb luck.

Harvesting Lupine Seeds
happygardener_2006June 19, 2011
My lovely lupines bloosoms are just about gone, and the seeds pods are furry and green.
I would like to harvest them, but was hoping I could just cut off the pod stem and put them in a cool dark place till they are ready to pop.
The plants are huge and I'd like to cut them back. I know from Maine friends that can be a no no. The ones I want to cut are volunteers that are growing in the patio cracks and in the way. When I think how I pamper the ones in the garden beds and them find their cousins growing in the cracks. I will sprinkle the dried seeds directly on the mulch this fall.
Thanks from a PFA, can't wait to be in Maine for the 4th!!

Medicare and the Healthcare Exchanges
If you're on Medicare you don't need (or want) the healthcare exchanges under ACA (commonly called Obamacare), unless you don't have the 40 quarters necessary for free Part A (hospitalization). The FAQ column below wastes too many words explaining the same thing different ways, but basically:
� If you know anyone who is currently paying for Part A, they can get an exchange insurance policy but,
� It will not be as comprehensive as Medicare,
� It will cost more, and
� Nothing has been decided yet about whether those who drop Medicare and go into the exchanges in error, will be charged the usual 10%/per year penalty for the time they were not covered by Medicare
NY Times October 11, 2013
Q & A: Medicare and the Insurance Exchanges
(Excerpt) Shirley Mierzejewski was "very upset" when she found out her Medicare health insurance premiums will nearly double next year. "I cannot afford that, I cannot," said Ms. Mierzejewski, 77, who lives in Euclid, Ohio, and works part time as a receptionist at a local college. She has a private Medicare Advantage policy from Anthem, which provides drug and medical coverage.
"So I started thinking about the marketplaces," she said, referring to the online insurance exchanges created by the Affordable Care Act. "Maybe I could find something cheaper there."
But after attending a Medicare meeting this month at the Euclid Senior Center, she learned that the plans available on the exchanges are not intended for most people with health insurance -- and that includes those with Medicare.

Nature Schools
President Obama's newly unveiled budget is making political waves…he's pushing for publicly funded "preschool for all," paid for with a new tax on cigarettes. Here in New Hampshire, there's been a different kind of preschool push…toward teaching kids outside. So-called nature preschools and forest kindergartens may sound like more fun than foundational, but this approach to early learning is gaining popularity for teaching the basics, while getting kids away from screens into the wilderness.

Graco SnugRide Click Connect Infant Car Seat Base
About the ManufacturerMoms who know choose Graco. In 1942, Russell Gray and Robert Cone formed Graco Metal Products, in Philadelphia, PA. Through hard work and creative designs they created the world's first wind-up infant swing, the Graco Swyngomatic. They knew they had a hit on their hands but no one predicted that Graco would sell but millions of Swyngomatics in the coming years, becoming one of the world's leading manufacturers of juvenile products in the process.
From then on, whatever category it entered, Graco set the standard: the firm's Pack N' Play Portable Playards, designed by Nate Saint, the son of the Swyngomatic's inventor, was introduced in 1987, and achieved the same kind of success as Graco's wind-up swings. The Pack N' Play is now found in millions of homes across North America. Graco raised the bar further when it introduced the Travel System, the first product that allowed you to quickly click a car seat into and out of a stroller, making life easier for mom and dad by allowing them to move a sleeping infant from house to automobile to stroller without waking the little one up.
Today, Graco continues its tradition of innovation, with products like the aluminum-framed Quattro Tour stroller and the Pack 'n Play SPORT which is the perfect choice for families who enjoy outdoor fun. In 1998, Graco proudly acquired Century Car Seats, combining two of the most respected brand names in baby products, and leading to innovative products like the TurboBooster youth booster car seat.
Today, Graco is a Newell Rubbermaid company, with 1500 associates worldwide. While a half-century has brought many changes to Graco, the dedication and commitment to designing and manufacturing top-quality products that inspire parents and babies alike.

Onion root maggots
Hello to the allium experts from a novice. I planted leeks in my garden plot at a communty garden last year and although they grew very well, most were infested with what I found out to be onion root maggots. I planted garlic this fall, (in a separate raised bed) and I'm concerned about the garlic getting infested. Anyone have any good non-chemical ways to deal with this pest? I've cleaned out the beds and left no infested leeks. However, since this is a community garden plot there are many beds around that I'm sure have not been cleaned and may contain onions (both wild and cultivated) that probably contain this pest. Since it's a fly as an adult it can travel a fair distance to infect new crops. Any help would be appreciated, as I'm planning to also grow leeks again this spring and would prefer them to be maggot-free!
Root maggots of both alliums & brassicas are well controlled w/ beneficial nematodes. Application is usually when the soil hits 50F+ . I have found a 90%+ success rate and an application usually lasts 2 years.
Floating row covers are often recommended, but except for short term crops like radish or turnips I have not done well w/ them.
