IT Policy
DOD's Paul Brubaker said agencies must think carefully about how new technologies affect daily operations.
Policies aimed at making IT operations more efficient and effective across government are beginning to have real effect, but federal managers say some hard reckoning is still to come as new processes and more business-oriented thinking take hold.
"The cloud and the [federal] 15-point data plan have been used as excuses not to ask fundamental questions" about new technological capabilities, said Paul Brubaker, director of planning and performance management at the Defense Department. Agency CIOs must think carefully about how they implement those new IT capabilities and how they affect everyday operations, IT workers and, ultimately, their agencies' bottom line, he added.
Panelists at an Association for Federal Information Resources Management event on Nov. 21 agreed that they were in the middle of a fundamental shift in their agencies' business models. Agencies are becoming more service-oriented, business-focused organizations that benefit from new technology approaches such as cloud-based services, mobile computing and strong identity management.
Paul Brubaker: Budget-conscious before it was cool
Feds showcase successful moves to the cloud
Brubaker was joined by Keith Trippie, CIO at the Department of Homeland Security; Timothy McCrosson, senior policy analyst for e-government at the Office of Management and Budget; and Sanjay Sardar, CIO at the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. They agreed that new technologies have forced a fundamental shift in how federal agencies handle IT, but they disagreed on the extent of that shift.
Brubaker said new technology brings changed perceptions about personnel needs and budgeting that might go unnoticed at first but bear consideration.
"What will happen to IT people who have to find new things to do?" Brubaker said in an interview with FCW. "Will they allow a new [agency] business plan that does away with their jobs? Technology is not [only] about technology."
Along with tech-focused policies such as cloud initiatives and the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP), he said, federal agencies need to develop a human capital strategy for dealing with the tech changes.
McCrosson likened the shift in federal IT capabilities and operations to President Barack Obama's rumored wardrobe re-evaluation, in which the president winnowed down his suits to a few colors so as not to waste time on the relatively trivial decision of what to wear. That upfront decision on a small matter "saved more time for big decisions," McCrosson said.
Federal IT managers should be implementing a similar process. Managers should not have to consider what server to buy or which email system to use but should instead be focusing on what service they need to fulfill their agencies' overarching mission. "You want to take the localized decision out of the paradigm," he said.
McCrosson said he agreed with Brubaker that there is a fundamental redirection in federal IT operations and culture, and he pointed to "some bright spots," such as the Department of Veterans Affairs' use of big-data analysis to predict which patients would need additional care. The Agriculture Department is using similar analytics for food inspections, he added.
The tightening federal budget is also affecting how agencies implement policy, Sardar said. "FedRAMP allows us to cut and re-invent" without the usual hassles of having to upgrade aging systems, he said. "It allows us a longer view of our mission."
DHS is "heading to a different IT process," Trippie said, with the cloud and FedRAMP. The department had been struggling with how to handle IT operations across such a large and disparate organization. "There had been bodies strewn on the highway," he said. But in the past four years or so, DHS has embraced cloud capabilities and services.
Trippie said IT policies initially flattened individual agency data silos and allowed them to "consumerize" data that once had been trapped. Ultimately, he said, it might take a generation to work through the new IT environment that recent policy changes have wrought.

Bathroom- tiling floor and walkin shower..use same tile or not
I am building new and trying to figure out what to do with the tiling. We will have a 60 x 36 walkin corner shower. The vanity is espresso with a granite top, see image. Im trying to figure out what color to go with for my tiles and whether or not to go with the same throughout or change it up. We are going with the larger rectangular tile,12x24. What do you think? Feeling overwhelmed...:(
12x24 slate-look (charcoal gray) porcelain tile would look nice. Running Bond pattern.
I would use a much smaller-format version for the shower floor, though--more grout lines=less slippery.
Instead of matching your shower floor tile to your other tile maybe you should consider matching your shower floor to your granite. We used the same granite as our countertop for our shower base. It's an option that may be a little pricier but it has definite advantages. There are no grout lines, no mold or mildew, it is guaranteed (at least ours is) not to leak, it has a low threshold, and installation is faster. Ask your fabricator if he does stone shower pans/basins.
The link below is for the company we used but I am posting it just or basic information.
You can see most of our stone shower pan in the picture below:
Here is a link that might be useful: Stone shower pans
What are the dimensions of your bathroom? If you have a fairly or small large bathroom, keep the scale in mind. You might want to use a straight lay on the floor in a medium tone color, then use the tile in a vertical running bond in the shower. You could add an accent band of small tiles in the colors of your granite running horizontally near the top (gray, cream and black would look nice or use espresso in there somewhere). Too much off-set (i.e., running bond) visually confuses or overwhelms the eye I think, especially in a small space.

HELP!! My First Time Growing Attempt & the Rose Canes Look Dead!
Although I'm a total novice to growing roses, and if truth be told I'm on this site to "find out answers about growing Cecile Brunner roses as well as the Zepherine Drouhin. I planted 3 of each last year, and they all took hold rapidly and grew many feet of canes. The Cecile Brunner even produced blooms; one produced about a dozen beautiful little "perfect" pink roses! And they were so heavily scented! Just from those few blooms!
My searching today though, in desperation I might add too, is that I have NO SIGNS OF LIFE on ANY of my 3 Cecile Brunners, PLUS their canes are do dark and really THORNY. And only one of my Zephirines have 'come to life" ~ the others look so dormant.
My question today is "am I not being patient enough?" Our growing season here in Vermont is short, and although we did have a mild winter, as winters go around here (which I was thankful for having just planted them in June last year) I'm worried I need to do something or they're not going to come back. Especially too because one of the Zephirines has been growing rapidly and has ALOT of leaves already, which all remaining 5 plants look dark and dormant.
Thank you in advance for any advice you can share.
Most appreciative,
Beth in Vermont
I'm sorry to say, but it sounds like they are dead. The thorniness of the canes means nothing, but the darkness does. If you cut into them, you will see brown instead of a green rim with a white center.
But check the bases of the plants, you may have some good growth there. If you do, cut away all the dead stuff.
I wish I could tell you why the one Zephirine is doing well and the others didn't. Was the ground different there? Was it moister or drier in that spot during the winter? Did it have more protection from extra mulch or a building? You'll have to figure it out.
When the forsythias bloom is when it is time to trim roses and they really start to grow at the point so you know for next year.
I do hope you don't give up on roses. And next time post onthe regular or antique rose forum, you'll get way more responses and quickly too: )

Under Armour Men's Explorit Board Shorts 6 6
Loves them! Bought these for my dad, he ended up ditching all his other swim trunks and wore these most of the vacation because of their comfort. Now we purchased the blue pair as well. Wont be disappointed when buying these trunks! January 17, 2015
Love them I needed a new pair of swim shorts to replace my old Nike swim shorts. I go into the sauna for an hour after every gym workout. So the shorts need to be durable. I decided to spend a bit more on these shorts because I know UA makes a great product. So far so good! Yesterday I was relaxing in the sauna after a workout and a gym buddy complimented me on them. He was interested in how nice they looked. I suggest the ocean blue! It is my favorite color. October 22, 2014
This product was ok I used these for a long distance obstacle race through mud and water and lots of rocks. they held up well, but they are not for the athletically big butt like what I have. I felt the crotch area was too tight, and wished there were more room. Not sure i'll wear them again, but they were decent enough to last the race. July 8, 2014
AWESOME Beach Shorts They are very comfortable as well as maintain their orginal color throughout salt, sand, sun, surf and detergent!!!! June 24, 2014

Looking for a reliable tree nursery in TN
I am looking for a reliable tree nursery in TN that will ship. I would like to get some redbuds to plant on my hillside. We had to pretty well clean off 50 feet up the hillside after a terrible storm took out a huge tree and it took out everything else. I don't want any 60 foot trees close to the house again (it just missed the house!) and something colorful would be nice to look at.
I would love to put a sugar maple out there, but it would be too close and it gets too big.
I would not consider buying redbuds sight-unseen. Redbuds are notorious for having poor form (sharp branching angles that cause the tree to break apart after a few years). The only way I would buy redbuds (except maybe for seedlings that I planed on carefully pruning to establish a good form), is to carefully examine every one for good branching characteristics. Redbuds are pretty but they tend to be poor quality trees if not carefully monitored and pruned.
Premium nurseries (aka expensive) will often have high quality redbuds. If you choose this tree, I would recommend spending the extra money and getting higher quality trees or starting with seedlings and carefully managing their growth for the first 5 to 10 years.
Once you have branches at the level you want, you can use plant tie tape for support below the branches and branch spreaders to increase the branching angles. If caught early enough, branch angle can be changed. Redbuds have weak easily split wood, so increase the angle gradually. Another tool that you might use is pantyhose tied low on the branch (close to the trunk). This would be easier on the branch than string or rope.

One steps forward to question Frazee-Vergas School District
About half a dozen people showed up for the open forum at Frazee-Vergas School District, but only one asked questions.
Mary Lepisto asked multiple questions of the board Monday evening, from why the open forum wasn't sent out on Instant Alert (didn't think about that) to why money is being spent to fund televisions in the school.

Planting broad-leaf Marginals in situ in Zone 6
I have an area on my property that is naturally wetland. It may be up to 8" of water in a really rainy spring but is usually wet mud to an inch or so of water most of the time. There are also a few deep spots, or spots I could digger deeper if I want standing (but stagnant) water 6-12" deep. I'm in zone 6A. The area varies from almost full sun to partial shade.
I'd like to add some marginal plants, I also am planting the traditional moist perennials but would like to try some of the more broader leafy "freshy" plants. There is some a fair amount of Arrow Arum (Peltandra virginica) growing there already. What I'd like to try is Golden Club (Orontium aquaticum) and Hardy Thalia (Thalia dealbata).
I'm not sure how well these will do and how deep they should be planted. The frost line for ground is 2 or 3 feet in this area but water never freezes that deep. I would think a pond wouldn't freeze more than 4 or 5 inches. The wetlands might be somewhere in between. If I put something with the top 6" down, I don't know if it would freeze that deep or not.
Any tips on how successful I'll be or how deep to plant these?
Most of the web site I find talk more about planting in artificial ponds. Both plants are supposed to be hard to zone 6 or 5 but I don't know if that's only if they are in running water.

Man convicted for molesting girls more than 20 years ago
MOORHEAD - A Clay County District Court jury has found 54-year-old Rodney Russell Trudeau guilty of sexually abusing twin girls more than 20 years ago.
The jury returned guilty verdicts on two counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct at about 1:25 p.m. today.
During closing arguments of the trial, defense attorney Joe Parise told the jury that afer so much time, the memories of the women, now in their 30s, could not be relied upon.

What do I care, in the dreams and the languor of spring, That my songs do not show me at all? For they are a fragrance, and I am a flint and a fire, I am an answer, they are only a call.
But what do I care, for love will be over so soon, Let my heart have its say and my mind stand idly by, For my mind is proud and strong enough to be silent, It is my heart that makes my songs, not I.

Compamia Miami Lounge Chair with Cushion
Great Chairs for around the firepit
Stegar from Palm Springs, CA– Verified Buyer
Love our new chairs. We got them in white. Wish we'd done the cushions with them (we thought we had). The site is a bit confusing. You can find the Miami Lounge Chair, and the Miami Lounge Chair with Cushion. HOWEVER, you still have to select the cushion when ordering under the Miami Lounge Chair WITH Cushion. Just a reminder. Now I have to find cushions that fit, as I'm having a hard time ordering just the cushions.
Fantastic Chairs
Jaon from Brockville, ON– Verified Buyer
We purchased two of these to compliment our sun room furniture. They are durable, wide and comfortable. They will be easy to clean and have a nice look to them. Should I need any more I would not hesitate to buy them again.

Video management and delivery has become increasingly challenging due to the diversity of solutions, mobile devices, platforms and video formats. As a result, companies are often required to piece together multiple solutions and vendors to get what they need.
In his session at 15th Cloud Expo, Ralf Jacob, Chief Revenue Officer at Verizon Digital Media Services, addresses the challenges of streaming live and on-demand adaptive video to multiple platforms and devices by moving the workflow from hardware-dependent infrastructure to software and cloud-based infrastructure. He will demonstrate how Verizon Digital Media Services eliminates complexity instead of managing it, with a simpler, more scalable approach that significantly reduces costs:
- How to eliminate the high capex associated with offering content online by doing away with hardware costs.
- Specific implementations and benefits of cloud-based solutions
- Tips for monetizing content through server-side ad integration to allow for flexibility and customization
Speaker Bio:
Ralf Jacob has more than 19 years of technical and executive management experience. He was appointed Chief Revenue Officer for Verizon Digital Media Services after they acquired his company, upLynk in 2013, where he was President and CEO. upLynk provided a unique, single-format encoding and streaming service, complete with live-linear dynamic ad insertion, that still powers the ABC/Disney WATCH apps, among others.

Desparately need your help before I fire my designer
Help, I'm pulling my hair out. My designer and I are at war over where to put the kitchen prayer shrine. Originally I thought it would be as a nook over the stove, but I am being told that isn't the best place to put it. If anyone would be so kind as to post and photos they have of their prayer shrines so I can show my designer it would be most appreciated.
Forgive my ignorance, but what is involved in a "prayer shrine"? What types of items are placed in it, how is it used (yes, I know, for praying, but how is it used for praying), etc.?
Depending on your answer, it may or may not explain your KD's recommendation.
Can you use the same studwall technique most of us use to make a range niche to put one in the kitchen table corner of the room? Add a lip to increase the depth.
What do you put into the shrine?
Here's a perfect kitchen accessory for her shrine, courtesy of palimpsest, on an older thread.
Kitchen prayer shrines do actually exist, so it's not a terribly funny or successful joke, eh.
Here is a link that might be useful: Buddhist kitchen shrines, contents
I totally understand your predicament, the placement of the prayer shrine was a very heated topic when we redid our kitchen. Go with your gut on this and fire the designer, you can always find another with a more compatible view to yours on the placement of the shrine. I would share the photo of our shrine, but it is such an important and personal decision that you should really not be influenced by the current fashion or what others are doing.
Yes, marcolo alluded to the necessity to check the local building codes for shrine placement requirements, sorry I did not mention this. There may be many stipulations that would dictate the size, depth, placement and shape of the shrine - check with your local building inspector or municipality to make sure you are in compliance.
Springeroz is right.
A bathtub is necessary.
In the Northeast corner of the yard, facing east, bury the bathtub on end, 1/2 way up. Put a figurine of your favorite Disney character in there and worship daily, at dawn.
Jesus and Mary in the bathtubs are not PC anymore.
I spent a lot of time, money and effort on my shrine (which, BTW, is over the range and there is *nothing* wrong with putting one there) and when my in laws were at my house last weekend, they didn't even mention it! And my shrine is MUCH nicer than that wreck they call a shrine. Then, this morning, my SIL came over and didn't even mention my new shrine! I could just smack her!!!!! I mean, I had a shrine way before she did, in fact, I introduced her to the whole concept of shrines and then she has the nerve to come to my house and not even say that she likes my new shrine!!!!!! Who could not love it, it's the PERFECT shrine, in fact, it's the ONE TRUE SHRINE, it's white, inset, has soapstone and there is not ONE INCH of shiny brass on it. I am so mad at her I could just spit and I don't think I can even enjoy my shrine now, she has ruined it for me.
Thanks for all your kind reply you have all been a real inspiration to me and have given me a lot of new ideas to contemplate. However, I've gotten into yet another fight with my designer about this renovation, but fear not I shall start a new thread and leave these ideas for the next person who is going through such an ordeal.

What is this Pumpkin?
Edymnion(7a)January 10, 2012
Bought this at a grocery store as a "decorative" pumpkin along with a jarrahdale. I just now finished making the last pies out of the jarr, so its getting near time to chop this one up as well.
I am wondering just what exactly it is though. Has anyone seen this before that could ID it for me off the top of their heads? I'm planning on saving seeds from it, see if they'll grow true or not this year.

A mechanic fixes a truck carrying Muslims attempting to flee the capital, after it broke down and French troops had to step in to protect it from a crowd of hostile Christian residents, in the Gobongo neighborhood of Bangui, Central African Republic, Friday, Dec. 27, 2013. In recent days, passenger vehicles carrying fleeing Muslims toward the northern edge of town have repeatedly come under attack by anti-balaka militiamen, with some passengers executed and others robbed. Military escorts shuttled nationals of Chad and Cameroon to the airport Friday to board evacuation flights, as French troops stepped in to help Muslims fleeing north by road make it safely through hostile areas.

LRS, comments on the following please, they are Luke's words. It has to do with what Jesus said to his prospective disciples in order for them to join him. Please read carefully and see if you share my interpretation, namely, that Jesus is exhorting these men to "hate his father and mother, his wife and children, his brothers and sistersyes, even his own lifehe cannot be my disciple".
Here it is, LRS, black on white, Luke 14:25-35, all references are there, straight from the Gospels, did not add, substract, or change a single word. Am I bad for repeating Luke's very words?
How to Hate Your Wife (Luke 14:25-35)
Study By: Bob Deffinbaugh
From the Series: Luke: The Gospel of the Gentiles
25 Large crowds were traveling with Jesus, and turning to them he said: 26 If anyone comes to me and does not hate his father and mother, his wife and children, his brothers and sistersyes, even his own lifehe cannot be my disciple. 27 And anyone who does not carry his cross and follow me cannot be my disciple.
28 Suppose251 one of you wants to build a tower. Will he not first sit down and estimate the cost to see if he has enough money to complete it? 29 For if he lays the foundation and is not able to finish it, everyone who sees it will ridicule him, 30 saying,This fellow began to build and was not able to finish. 31 Or suppose a king is about to go to war against another king. Will he not first sit down and consider whether he is able with ten thousand men to oppose the one coming against him with twenty thousand? 32 If he is not able, he will send a delegation while the other is still a long way off and will ask for terms of peace.
33 In the same way,252 any of you who does not give up everything he has cannot be my disciple. 34 Salt is good,253 but if it loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? 35 It is fit neither for the soil nor for the manure pile; it is thrown out.He who has ears to hear, let him hear.
Let's have it,LRS, and please try to avoid name-calling, try to avoid saying I have the truth, as all I've done is just cut-and-paste, which I rarely do, but you always want proof...try to avoid profanity most of all, we are talking Holy Scriptures here now.

Code Pink closes the Senate CIA hearing for John Brennan. Yep, it is we Conservatives who recognizes the free speech rights (uninterrupted) of the hearing itself.
Code Pink seems to disagree with Obama's current drone attacks in terrorists. Fox News reports that 83% of all Americans, of which 65% of all Democrats, agree with Bush/Obama's use of drones in the attack roll.
I like the drone program as it does not endanger American service men and women like a human raid like what on during the Usama bin Laden raid. I know we had our best people on that raid but there were risks.

January Declared Second-Warmest in 35 Years
By Jeanna Bryner | LiveScience.com
[paragraph 6]
January heat follows right on the heels of the warmest year on record in the contiguous United States, stretching back to the 1880s, a record that NOAA scientists announced last month.
Now, I wonder why Live Science did not report this? Why not?? Because it does not support their Global Warming agenda!!!

Defiant as ever, the state that gave rise to Sarah Palin is bucking the mainstream yet again: While global temperatures surge hotter and the ice-cap crumbles, the nations icebox is getting even icier.
That may not be news to Alaskans coping with another round of 50-below during the coldest winter in two decades, or to the mariners locked out of the Bering Sea this spring by record ice growth.

Nor will Live Science report this; But if you read the last paragraph it says they only started to keep records ..... 44 years ago. So it may well be the coldest day ever in New Delhi.
New Delhi suffers coldest day in 44 years

New Delhi (AFP) Jan 3, 2013
New Delhi has suffered its coldest day in 44 years amid a cold snap across northern India, the local weather office said on Thursday.
The maximum day temperature on Wednesday reached just 9.8 degrees Celsius (49.6 degrees Fahrenheit), the lowest since the winter of 1969 when records first began, an official in the local meteorological department told AFP, with a minimum of 4.8 Celsius.

Even the NSIDC [University of Colorado at Boulder, CO] even admits in their report that something ain't right!!! Oh, the NSIDC is also a proponent of MAN-MADE Global Warming!!!
.....Antarctic sea ice remained extensive due to an unusual northward excursion of ice in the Weddell Sea. December of 2012 saw Northern Hemisphere snow cover at a record high extent, while January 2013 is the sixth-highest snow cover extent on record since 1967.

The U.S. has been sending F-16s and tanks and various armaments to Egypt since 1975, its biggest "client" after Israel. How many times has Egypt attacked Israel with its planes and tanks since then?

I'm confused
dottyinduncan(z8b coastal BC)August 24, 2013
I bought a bud bloomer, Flamingo last spring. It was an incredible orange/red colour. After a few weeks, the colour disappeared and it was a happy green colour all summer. A couple of weeks ago, it began to bloom a pretty mauve. I don't understand the colours. And, when does it get a haircut? I am in the Pacific NW and we get quite a rainy winter but mild.
Dotty - trust you got the info you needed on the Northwest Gardening forum. if not, post back :-))

As the summer draws to a close, the anticipation of a new school year gains momentum as children, parents, teachers, and communities prepare for the official first day.
Much like the preparation that one undergoes in buying new school supplies, materials, and clothing, we must also ensure that we (as parents, caregivers, and educators) work to prepare children for the new school year by openly talking about the possible challenges that one may face.

DEFINITION of 'Pure Risk'
A category of risk in which loss is the only possible outcome; there is no beneficial result. Pure risk is related to events that are beyond the risk-taker's control and, therefore, a person cannot consciously take on pure risk.
This is the opposite of speculative risk.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Pure Risk'
For example, the possibility that a person's house will be destroyed due to a natural disaster is pure risk. In this example, it is unlikely that there would be any potential benefit to this risk.
There are products that can be purchased to mitigate pure risk. For example, home insurance can be used to protect homeowners from the risk that their homes will be destroyed.
Other examples of pure risk events include premature death, identity theft and career-ending disabilities.
