Clemson bound for Gator Bowl; Nebraska likely foe
Tigers schedule 4 p.m. Wednesday press conference
Published: Tuesday, December 2, 2008 at 7:09 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, December 2, 2008 at 8:46 p.m.
CLEMSON Clemsons strong fan support and the hiring of Dabo Swinney have earned the Tigers something that seemed impossible a month ago a sunny New Years Day in Florida.
Gator Bowl officials are expected to extend an invitation as early as Wednesday for Clemson to face off against Nebraska in the Jan. 1 bowl.
The game is set for a 1 p.m. kickoff on CBS at Jacksonville Municipal Stadium.
Clemson has scheduled a 4 p.m. Wednesday press conference to announce its bowl destination.
The Florida Times-Union, a Jacksonville, Fla., newspaper, reported that bowl president Rick Catlett and selection committee chairperson Kelly Madden left Jacksonville for Greenville on Tuesday afternoon, and that an invitation was forthcoming shortly.
Catlett did not return messages left at the Gator Bowl offices, but told the Times-Union, Were going to get a very good game, and eventually I think well get the game we wanted. We might not be able to announce both teams before Sunday, but its going to be an absolutely wonderful game.
Nebraskas invitation will be delayed until Sunday because the Big 12 will not release teams for non-BCS bowls until after Saturdays Big 12 title game between Oklahoma and Missouri.
The ACCs non-BCS bowls dropped like dominoes Tuesday; the Chick-fil-A Bowl is expected to invite hometown Georgia Tech, freeing up the Gator and Champs Sports Bowls (which pick directly behind it in the ACCs order) to take their preferred teams.
Clemson and Nebraska havent played since the 1982 Orange Bowl, a game Clemson won 22-15 to claim its only national title. This will mark Clemsons ninth Gator Bowl appearance, a record, while Nebraska has never played in the Gator Bowl.
Clemson was reportedly battling Florida State for the Gator Bowl slot, and FSU owns a 41-27 head-to-head win and a better record (8-4 vs. 7-5).
Clemson beat the Seminoles thanks to a stronger travel record, and the fact that its fans would spend several days in Jacksonvilles hotels, restaurants and bars, while Florida State fans were more likely to make a short drive into town on game day and then go home.
Florida State would also be making its third Jacksonville appearance in 15 months; the Seminoles played neutral-site games there against Alabama in 2007 and Colorado this fall. They have averaged more than 70,000 fans in their six appearances, but only 40,000 showed up to watch FSU-Colorado.
The Seminoles also lost three of their last five games, including a 45-15 defeat to Florida.
The Seminoles are expected to accept a bid to play Wisconsin in Orlandos Champs Sports Bowl, the Orlando Sentinel reported.
All I know is were going to have to make a selection on Sunday, Florida Citrus Sports Executive Director Steve Hogan told the Sentinel. Wisconsin-Florida State would be a great game.
Clemson hasnt played in Jacksonville since Jan. 1, 2001, when it dropped a 41-20 decision to Virginia Tech, finishing a 9-3 2000 season.
The Tigers won four of their last five games under Swinney, who was hired as the school's head coach Monday. And Jacksonville is a six-hour drive from the Upstate, meaning plenty of fans excited about his first game as the Tigers new leader could flood down I-95 to watch.
Swinney and the Tigers also have a strong recruiting presence in Northern Florida. Clemson signed tailback Jamie Harper, linebacker Daniel Andrews, cornerback Xavier Brewer and safeties Rashard Hall and Carlton Lewis from the Jacksonville area in February.

My personal opinion is that business should pay absolutely no tax whatsoever. All tax should happen when people extract money from a business. Taxing business is just taxing investors, pay and conditions of employees, or shareholders.
You left 'customers' out of the list. Many taxes are simply passed onto customers as a cost of doing business. Of course, you're exactly right, and I've said this for a long time. A corporation can only transfer money to individuals in the form of salary (taxed) or dividends (also taxed); taxing corporate income is a form of double taxation and at the end of the day is little more than a hidden backdoor tax on individuals.

You missed his point. His point was that something will always be prohibited and they'll just move into selling that instead. It doesn't have to be drugs.

As to the US violating its agreements, I note that you haven't provided any contemporary examples to back up your position. I will have to take that as your admission that you don't have any which is an argument in my favor.
Either back up your position with a contemporary US example or concede.
I gave you one. South Vietnam. Do you really think that saying "back it up or concede" proves your POV? Want two more? We have abandoned the Iraqi Government and the Sunni tribes that allied themselves with us. We're in the process of abandoning those Afganis that allied themselves with us. The people who have fought with us in those places are screwed. A lucky few will get asylum and become American citizens, the rest will be marginalized if they're lucky and lined up against a wall if they're not.
This is not pointed out at as a criticism of my country, for I am a proponent of realpolitik. At the end of the day so is the majority of the American body politic. You could recognize this fact if you stopped waving the flag long enough to read what I've written. This isn't a game, it's the real world, and America's word is only good as long as the American electorate is willing to back it up. Both our enemies and our allies are cognizant of that fact.

I'm sure there wouldn't be any consequences (to themselves) whether the spying is classified or not
If Senator Wyden actually believed that these programs were undermining civil liberties he could read them into the Congressional record with no consequences whatsoever to his person or position. He'd undoubtedly lose access to classified information going forward but he could not be held accountable for the breech thereof.
The thing is, and nobody here wants to hear this, all of the people "in the know" about these programs seem to agree that they're necessary. Even those Senators and Representatives whose political leanings suggest they wouldn't support these programs (Wyden, Pelosi, et. al) haven't outright condemned them. Neither has the sitting President, who may you recall railed these practices as a candidate, then reversed himself once he had the nomination and was presumably read into (Presidential candidates the same briefings as the sitting President) these programs. Some people "in the know" have nibbled around the edges, suggesting reforms and more oversight, but none have condemned the practices in question or tried to change them.
At the end of the day, under our system of government, you delegate decisions such as these to your elected representatives. If you don't agree with their judgment vote their asses out of office. If you can't convince enough people to vote with you on these issues then that's your starting point. Remember, soap box, ballot box, jury box, ammo box, in that order. Step #1 isn't even complete, unless you think Slashdot is representative of the entire American body politic.

I said that the US honors its agreements.
And you're wrong. I'm sorry but the US is no different than any other democratic nation in this regard. Public opinion will always limit the options available to American policymakers. We abandoned South Vietnam to an adversary that didn't have the ability to vaporize American cities, simply because of the body politic was tired of the war.
If you'd stop waving the flag for a few moments you could fully absorb what I'm telling you. I did not say that we would definitely not march for the Baltic States. I merely question that it would be as automatic as it would be if say Great Britain, Canada, or Germany were attacked by an outside force. You really think the American public would get behind a war for the Baltic States? You're talking the theory of power, I'm talking reality, the United States is a democracy, and you'd have to sell the people and legislature on the concept.
We are the head of a political and military alliance.
There is no "head" of NATO as such. It operates on consensus. No consensus, no response. As a practical matter, there's not very much the United States could actually do for the Baltic States without involvement by the Western European powers, so now we're talking about the body politic in other democratic countries, countries which are even more risk adverse than the United States. It's easy to man the ramparts as an American, we haven't fought a real war on our soil in over 150 years.
If members of the alliance can be struck without a response from the US then that diminishes our credibility.
You're proceeding from the assumption that the body politic gives a shit about American credibility.
That is one of the reasons Putin's actions were so unbelievably stupid. The US is interested in pulling out of Europe entirely. We want to focus more on east Asia. If Putin had simply kept it in his pants a bit longer, we'd have left and he could work slowly to gain goals.
Of course, claiming territory is only a small part of what he wants. He also needs to bolster his domestic political position. And for that he needed to get the Russians all stirred up with patriotic furvor. And so far apparently the Russians hate America more now than they did during the Cold War. So well done Putin.
No offense, but you don't know as much about Russia or Vladimir Putin as you think you do. In fairness, neither do our policymakers, not in the Executive or in the Congress. Start with this article and branch out from there.
And no, we're not going to meet them in open combat.
I agree that it's unlikely but never say never. If nothing else there is plenty of room for miscalculation. People in the know, who watch both Moscow and Western Europe seem to think it's possible: "Carl Bildt, the former Swedish foreign minister, said a war between Russia and the west was now quite conceivable."
In any case, this whole conversation started because I question your assumption that American policy treats all members of NATO equally. It might appear that way on paper but you've yet to convince me that the American body politic would march for the Baltic States (or the new members in the Balkens, for that matter) as readily as it would march for Western Europe. I'm a student of geopolitics, recognize the dangers in not upholding our treaty commitments, and even I'm not certain that I would be willing to march for them. I'm not sure how old you are but I'm old enough to remember when nuclear weapons were aimed at me; that's a sobering thought that tempers my blind enthusiasm with a healthy dose of reality.

WILLMAR — Nearly nine out of 10 parents who participated in a survey by the Kandiyohi County Drug-Free Communities Coalition believe it's risky for underage youths to consume alcohol, use tobacco, use marijuana or misuse prescription drugs.
The survey also showed strong support for public policy measures such as tobacco-free parks, beaches and multi-unit housing.

Q&A: Paul Davis on Horror/Comedy FrightFest Premiere, "THE BODY"
For many, Halloween is a night to be anyone they want. For The Man, it's an occasion to be exactly who he is and receive otherwise untypical praise for it. That's exactly how Paul Davis' latest short, THE BODY plays out. World Premiering as part of the acclaimed Film4 FrightFest in London, the film stars GAME OF THRONES' Alfie Allen as a black-suited murderer transporting a corpse out in the open, where most assume it's an elaborate contribution to All Hallow's activities. An evening of horror and humor (of the gallows sort) ensues. Fango spoke with Davis (BEWARE THE MOON: REMEMBERING AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON) as he begins to carry THE BODY through its festival life.Read more »

The seat covers arrived and they fit well, however the bottom seat cushions covered access to my power seat controls. I emailed a picture to customer support showing one cover installed and the other seat detail. They designed a second pair of seat covers with the cut out access to the seat controls.

In a country blessed with many horticultural treasures, Lachenalias or Cape Hyacinth hold a place of their own. Because of their excellent garden potential, breeders have been hard at work and have produced some stunning hybrids.
They may be short in stature, their flowers grows on spikes about 25cm high, but they more than make up for this with their vividly coloured blooms, making them ideal subjects for pots, borders or pathways. An added bonus is that the blooms are long lasting – often up to five weeks.
The soil where they are planted should be well-drained, preferably on the sandy side, with plenty of compost added. Place the bulbs just a few centimeters under ground level, quite close together.
Water is the single most important aspect of having success with Lachenalias. They should be watered every 4 days, with a sprinkler for 40 minutes.
Lachenalias also make excellent pot plants. Here, their unusual, but striking foliage can be appreciated to the full. They should be planted close together and look their best in shallow containers. The soil should be light, airy and friable. Keep the bulbs in a semi-shaded position until they come into flower.
They can be moved inside or to any focal point where their gorgeous beauty can be fully appreciated. Once again water is crucial. Soil in pots dries out quickly so water them every 2 days and every day in hot weather.

Worth every penny
This app is the best Disneyland app ever. Not only for checking on how busy the park is, but on pretty accurate wait times on the rides. It also has a "lounge" where you can see many live pictures of things in the park and conversation with other very nice Disney lovers. Which comes in handy because I live so far away and get to the parks that often. I truly love this app.
Waiting in line is magical with Mousewait
Aloha, I have enjoyed Mousewait because the app and the people using it give me accurate wait times for lines. I can assess what is the most time convenient and see what lies ahead because of this app. I also have liked that it tells you the % or capacity in each park.
Great Companion
No trip to Disneyland is complete without at least scanning the current wait times of all of the attractions. It really does help you overcome the crowds that would otherwise make your pleasant visit into the another excuse to camp out at the Ice Cream Parlor and regret ordering that Mint Sundae that just cost you 600 calories of pure bliss.

Review of the Ocean DVD: Clown Fish of the Tropical Ocean
The real Nemo
Amazing that the characters and relationships among fish can be so diverse! Another beautiful film by Tony and Liz with incredible underwater footage by Klemens Gann. I work in marine science as a biologist and I must say that the quality of this work is truly exceptional. A must have!
Simon, marine biologist
Review of the Ocean DVD: Clown Fish of the Tropical Ocean
The life of a clown fish
Very nice and relaxing scenes of clown fish (anemone fish). This DVD is shows very good clips from the real life and behavior of these amazing marine animals. It is a wonderful dive at home in the living room. The beauty of the underwater world in the form of clown fish creates a calm and relaxed atmosphere for more than an hour. Top DVD, here is not only the price fair - but also the qualityin HD! With a good conscience I can recommend the DVD with my best intensions!

Review of the Ocean DVD: Clown Fish of the Tropical Ocean
Nemo and Friends at Home
Actually I bought this DVD for my children because of the clown fish or Nemo, but then I found myself sitting banned in front of the television. This film is very nice with quiet music and fantastic images of clownfish. Wonderful various anemonefish swim here in their natural environment. Nemo the clown fish attracts through its vibrant orange coloration and many more marine animals like turtles, colorful fish, shrimps and impressive variety of anemones are assembled on this wonderful DVD.
The HD quality is excellent and the image is sharp and crisp.
An underwater adventure for the whole family.
Peter, underwater photographer
Review of the Ocean DVD: Clown Fish of the Tropical Ocean
You just have to love Nemo and this DVD with the real Clown Fish is simply beautiful. I didn't know that there are so many species of anemone fish and so many colorful anemones where the clown fish live in. The DVD is vsery relaxing and offers an extra film with "Nemo's friends" including turtles, shrimps and many more beautiful marine animals. A fantastic Underwater DVD, thanks a lot.

Review of the Ocean DVD: Clown Fish of the Tropical Ocean
What a wonderful Underwater DVD of the Clown Fish living in the Ocean. Originally bought for my children I realized that I enjoyed this Ocean DVD as well and by now play it many times as it helps me to relax and entertains me at the same time. The images are crystal clear and the underwater scenery look peaceful. Thanks a lot for this fantastic DVD.
Adriane, Netherlands
Review of the Ocean DVD: Clown Fish of the Tropical Ocean

Review of the Ocean DVD: Clown Fish of the Tropical Ocean

Regina, Switzerland
Review of the Ocean DVD: Clown Fish of the Tropical Ocean
This is the best Ocean DVD I have as of now in my great Underwater DVD collection. I will have to buy some more of your Ocean DVD and hope that the quality is the same. As for now thank you already very much and I will purchase more in the future.
Tom, Belgium
Review of the Ocean DVD: Clown Fish of the Tropical Ocean
I purchased the DVD through Amazon.com because my two year old grandson likes fish. The DVD production is beautiful with bright colors and soft music. It is ideal for playing on a computer just before nap time. The photography is very settling and peaceful. I would imagine this type of DVD would be great for many uses with children and older insomniacs such as in nursing homes. it is nice to have it run on the TV for everybody. It is well worth its price for what it accomplishes.
Review of the Ocean DVD: Clown Fish of the Tropical Ocean
It's amazing how Clown fish swim about in those Anenomes, and they are poison to most fish. Amazing. Brilliant video Bravo!.

Review of the Ocean DVD: Clown Fish of the Tropical Ocean

Review of the Ocean DVD: Clown Fish of the Tropical Ocean
Dazzling while restful,
Fine resolution and brilliant colors. This is an enjoyable and mesmerizing DVD. Love the music. Excellent photographic subjects.
This dvd is delightful...I really like it. I can't help but think of Nemo when I watch the clown fish. They seem to have so much fun swimming in and out of the sea anemones. The turtles in it are so graceful and seem so at peace. This is a great dvd to put on loop and let it go through the whole day. You can choose between sea sounds and music. I prefer the soothing music that I can listen to throughout the house.
My opinion is that this DVD is not just for kids as some people have mentioned in reviews. While I can see how they'd like it - especially with Nemo and all, anyone who loves watching fish, etc will love this video. Swimming creatures are so calming and yes, mesmerizing to people like me, who need the peacefulness of watching this kind of video. The photography, as usual, is absolutely beautiful and well done. So colorful, and the music is excellent as well. I too, prefer that to the sounds of the sea.
All in all, another 5 star DVD! Keep up the good work!

I worked at BNY Mellon as an intern (more than a year)
9-5 hours, convenient location, friendly people. Other employees on the whole were not idiots, but not Ivy League either. General morale especially regarding compensation was very low.
Compensation, general attitude. Same boring bank operations work as everywhere else, but 2/3 the comp, getting things done is constantly an uphill battle, took my Managing Director level supervisor over a year and a half to even begin to convert me from an intern to a full time employee.

Casa Marbella is great in so many ways! My husband and I came and stayed in a two bedroom suite with another couple and we could not have asked for anything more. Very nice, modern and clean rooms. The entire staff is friendly and will help in any way you need. Jim and Stephanie were also very friendly and personable. They set up activities for us and made our entire stay very enjoyable. Great views and just a short walk from everything you need. We will be coming back in the future because we loved it so much. They have the best rates in town and you couldn't ask for more.

Mari11(z5a Toronto)May 14, 2012
I have good ever-bearing raspberry plants (3 young plants in a pot)which I'd like to trade for variegated hostas, red currant plants, edible rhubarb, peony (or offer me other perennials!)
Only local exchange,please.
I am very interested in your ever bearing raspberries. I do have raspberries, but not the ever brearing kind.
For exchange, I can offer : a huge lovage plant( Levisticum officinale ),
a couple of baby Rose of Sharon plants( Hibiscus syriacus ) in lilac color, also Rose of Sharon seeds ( white, lilac, pink), blue fescue grass (Festuca glauca )lily of the valley ( Convallaria majalis)
Or else, I have several sedums and hens and chicks.
Please let me know if any of these interest you.

Bethany Maxwell Poems
Jumping Horses
As you step into the arena, Your heart rushes, Horse following close behind, Giving you steady nudges.
The dagger slips through the skin You know that you will win Oh sweet red rum The blood drips to the ground
A Pearls Worth
Silver pearls fall down her skin She knows she must do it for she can't stay strong For all she has to do is count to ten She knows he's always wrong
The love For a Nephew
(His smile wide his teeth shining as he stood with the bright guitar in his hand.) As he lays in the casket some month later
A Moment
She walks through the rain, the pain locked behind her cold eyes She sees the lights of the houses, those Christmas lights, She sees her home, no lights, no tree, it is dark and still The rain falls on her long white hair, her white gown flowing tears stream from her eyes
To Fade Away
I want to melt away into nothing, To be a simple molecule of air, Floating in and out of people' lives, Without them even knowing.
Stone Angel
You are the reason for my pain, You are the reason I stand in the rain. I wouldn't be here by choice,
As I sit and wait
As I sit and wait time is all I have to save For in life all I am is a slave To those who search for death
Listen to the vines with the thorns For they are the tricksters Listen to their wisdom
A Single Candle/Death Herself
A single flame lights her face The face of death A single candle holds her fears The fears of death
Behind Her Eyes
The pain she felt was behind her eyes The eyes that were once the clear blue skys Her face is clouded and dark You can tell sorrow has left it's mark.
Dead Boys Poem
The child sits and weeps, How could this be all that matters, Why did this have to hurt so deep, How could this be life?

Bethany is a talented young writer who is capable of penning a masterpiece
of poetry and short prose. This is saying a lot because few are as capable
as she is in this regard. That is her quality. But the thing which gives her
a special place of recognition is how she has defined herself by her works.
Her definition, is by topic. Her topic is 'Life, in the Company of Death.'
She, is a philosopher on this. And on this, she has much to say. A topic
most grim and displeasing to many; it is to her a musical drama that
ingnites all our senses and inflames our heart and preserves our soul for
a better place that leaves all our fears behind and our love streched into

Jumping Horses
As you step into the arena,
Your heart rushes,
Horse following close behind,
Giving you steady nudges.
You mount yourself slowly into the English saddle
You move toward the jump.
Faster, faster.
Your feet ready in the stirrups
In jumping position,
As you grow closer to the jump
You are overcome by a weird sensation,
A sensation of happiness, nervousness, and excitement
As you post you feel the heart rate of the horse.
You are both one.
Faster, and faster still,
You feel as if you where flying,
Your horse raises its front legs,
You are ...

Generally I love Rimmel but I think this is one to avoid. Something in it is a little rough around the eye area (even if you don't have sensitive eyes) and it does take a couple of go-rounds to get everything off. I think Garnier does one that's better and just as cheap.

I bought this remover to try it and.... it does not work! It's just like water you have to scrub in order for even SOME of it to come off. DONT waste your money on this buy the Neutrogena one!

I love rimmel products but this one did not work for me. It claims to remove all eye makeup, including waterproof makeup, but I had a hard time taking off my waterproof mascara. The formula seems gentle enough but it doesn't do the job. Will resort back to oil-based formula.

I LOVE this makeup remover! I can't even tell you how many bottles I have gone through. I have been using it for a while now and I just love it so much. It makes my eye area feel soft and refreshed. I don't have to spend more than a minute or two taking off my eye makeup when using this, it works fast. I love it =]

I have been searching for a HG eyemakeup remover that would remove waterproof makeup but not leave a greasy film. Many of the oil free formulas left a greasy oily feeling even though they are oil free. (What good is that?!).
I wanted to try the Waterproof Sexy Curves Rimmel mascara for my pin straight lashes and next to it was the remover. (BOGO50 at CVS) The mascara is ok but the "Gentle Eye Make Up Remover" is AWESOME! It removed a ton of eyemakup and the waterproof mascara. It did not leave a greasy film or sting my eyes. I am tempted to go out and buy a couple of more bottles in case they stop making it.

Did not remove waterproof mascara AT ALL. I kept scraping and swiping at my eye with the cotton ball and finally realized it just wasn't going to work. I get better results with baby oil, vaseline, or EVOO.

This is a great eye makeup remover for these reasons: Very inexpensive, not oily at all (watery consistency), it works to remove waterproof mascara, it can take off halloween makeup, and it is a huge bottle that it would definitely last you a long time.

I'm very worried because I bought this a year ago at Target in SF. Now my bottle is almost finished and there is no Rimmel brand in department stores here in the Philippines! I love how this removes my eye make-up so conveniently --- also works great on stay on lipsticks. I bet this is like those expensive Lancome make-up removers. Next time I go to SF I'll buy a bunch of this.

I love this make-up remover. I've tried many high-end and drug store makeup remover, and so far, this is still my favorite. As a matter of fact, I am on my third bottle now.
I love how this remover doesn't have the "2 layer" seperations and yet it can still remove waterproof mascara and gel eyeliners. I love how this doesn't sting my eyes at all and it doesn't leave any residue on my skin. Love love love this make-up remover!

I am on my 3rd bottle. This is a great value for a drugstore nonoily waterproof remover. I got this free with any Rimmel mascara purchase at CVS. They also have great sales on this regularly so its a great value. I find myself not needing those oily dual phases removers anymore, with one sweep of this it removes all my waterproof mascara and gel longwearing eyeliners. Its gentle like water with no stinging or residue afterwards.

to / from Ukraine
A few hundred meters from the fortress in Soroca there is a border crossing to / from Ukraine over the Nistru river over a floating platform.
We wanted to cross as the nicest views over the fortress are from the other side of the river, but lack of visa meant we couldn't. Next time, maybe….

to Orheiul Vechi
From Soroca we wannted to see the archaeological complex of Orheiul Vechi, a landmark for Moldova and a craddle of civilisations. the objectiuve being close to the town of Orhei, we were advised to take the Chisinau bus and stop in Orhei.
There are several buses a day leaving for Chisinau, and in the morning they leave from Soroca almost every hour starting 8 a.m. you can buy tickets until town of Orhei. A little less than 2 hours for 35 lei.
As our destination - the archaeological complex of Orheiul Vechi (aka between the villages of Trebujeni and Butuceni) which is about 25 km far from the town of Orhei, we had to find some transport. The easiest and fastest way is to look for some cars & drivers waiting in the bus station in Orhei. If you don't manage to find any, just ask around among the vendors at their kiosks, our ride was 20 minutes and 150 lei (30 romanian lei, 10 euros), but I'm sure a little bargain wouldn't have offended anyone..

by bus from Chisinau
From Chisinau there are several small buses to Soroca every day, staring from early morning to mid afternoon. The journey takes 2h 45 minutes through a nice landscape and costs 50 lei (10 Romanian lei, 3 Euros).
Buses to north of Chisinau, Soroca included, do not leave from the Central Bus Station in Chisinau any longer. They leave from another bus station outside the city centre (10 minutes walk from downtown) called "Gara de Nord" (locals will be able to show you the way, just after crossing a bridge).
The bus station in Soroca is within 500m from downtown, but you can always take a rutiera (minibus).

Capitol Visitor Center:
Update on Status of Project's Schedule and Cost as of September 21, 2006
GAO-06-1058T: Published: Sep 21, 2006. Publicly Released: Sep 21, 2006.

Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
This testimony's aim is to assist the Senate Committee on Appropriations, Subcommittee on the Legislative Branch in monitoring progress on the Capitol Visitor Center (CVC) project. Our remarks will focus on (1) the Architect of the Capitol's (AOC) progress in achieving selected project milestones and in managing the project's schedule since the Subcommittee's August 2, 2006, hearing on the project; (2) our assessment of the project's currently scheduled completion date; and (3) an update on the project's expected cost at completion and funding situation. As part of this discussion, we will address a number of key challenges and risks that continue to face the project, as well as actions we believe that AOC will need to take to meet its currently scheduled completion date. This testimony is based on our review of schedules and financial reports for the CVC project and related records maintained by the AOC and its construction management contractor, Gilbane Building Company; our observations on the progress of work at the CVC construction site; and our discussions with the CVC team (AOC and its major CVC contractors), AOC's Chief Fire Marshal, and representatives from the U.S. Capitol Police. We also reviewed AOC's construction management contractor's periodic schedule assessments, potential change order log, and daily reports on the progress of interior wall and floor stonework. We retained a mechanical consulting engineering firm (Kincaid/Bryant) to help us assess the CVC team's progress in completing the project's heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) system. In addition, we reviewed the contract modifications made to date and the estimates of cost increases provided by AOC and its construction management contractor, including their estimates of the costs related to delays, and their preliminary cost estimates for recent changes to the CVC's fire protection and security systems. Our assessment was somewhat constrained because the CVC team is still analyzing the impact on the project's schedule and cost of the recently identified changes required for certain components of the fire protection and security systems. The team expects to have firmer schedule and cost information around mid-October, at which time we may have to revise our estimates if this later information differs significantly from the current information.
Since the Subcommittee's August 2 CVC hearing, the CVC team has continued to move the project's construction forward, but the project's overall targeted completion date has slipped significantly. The schedule for the project's most critical activity--the fire protection system--has slipped about 4 months, bringing the new targeted overall completion date to mid-September 2007, and other important activities have also been significantly delayed. Unlike the previous CVC schedule, the new schedule (1) does not allow any time to address problems that may arise or to prepare for operations after a certificate of occupancy has been issued; (2) assumes that AOC will be able to bring exhibits into the CVC before a certificate of occupancy has been issued; and (3) provides for opening the CVC and the House and Senate expansion spaces at the same time. It is not yet clear to us whether the need for time to prepare for operations or for a certificate of occupancy to receive the exhibits will affect the facility's opening date, but these factors should not delay the completion of construction. During the past month, work on the project has progressed in a number of areas. For example, the sequence 2 contractor expects to have dehumidified air in the exhibit gallery by around mid-October. In addition, critical interior floor stone installation has continued, together with other interior and exterior construction work. Almost all of the interior wall stone for the CVC itself (excluding the East Front and the tunnels) is now installed. A number of problems have developed in connection with the CVC's fire protection system, which is the principal cause of the completion date's slippage and continues to be the single greatest source of risk to meeting the project's new scheduled completion dates. Although the CVC team has worked closely with AOC's Chief Fire Marshal and has made substantial progress in resolving issues, the resolution, along with necessary changes to certain security system-related components, has resulted in a need for significant additional work. The CVC team based its mid-September 2007 project completion date on its preliminary estimate of the time needed to do this additional work. Although the team believes that the time it added to the schedule should be sufficient, it will not make a definitive determination until it completes its analysis of the required changes, which it expects to do by mid-October. Several other activities important to the CVC's completion, such as the HVAC system's installation and East Front work, have been delayed since the Subcommittee's last CVC hearing--an outcome anticipated by our assessment of the CVC team's performance against the indicators of progress that we and the Subcommittee have been tracking. For example, during the last 7 weeks, the sequence 2 contractor did not meet its overall target for interior floor stone installation and continued to experience delays in installing wall stone in the East Front. In addition, the sequence 2 contractor met only 2 of the 17 milestones that we have been tracking for this hearing. The project continues to face risks and uncertainties, such as getting its complex building systems to function together as well as separately and trade stacking.
Recommendation for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: AOC developed an action plan as recommended by GAO. AOC had taken the following actions in response to GAO recommendations: (1) AOC weekly schedule meetings and monthly schedule reports focus on key critical and near critical activities. (2) AOC has accelerated critical activities by working overtime or adding workers. (3)AOC has used the request for information (RFI) process to identify critical problems, issues, questions, and concerns. Critical RFIs are reviewed in weekly meetings. Risks are reviewed in monthly risk management meetings. (4) AOC has weekly meetings with the Fire Marshal and US Capitol Police to discuss and resolve critical issues. AOC Capitol Power plant personnel routinely attend the weekly mechanical, electrical, and plumbing meetings. (5) AOC reviews critical discretionary changes and the project schedule with the Capitol Preservation Commission at their weekly meetings.
Recommendation: Given the magnitude of the recent schedule slippages and the consequences of the risks that have materialized, the time it has taken the team to identify and resolve problems, the team's performance relative to the indicators of progress that we and the Subcommittee have been tracking, and the risks and uncertainties that continue to face the project, we are convinced that the team will not be able to meet the new schedule or any schedule with completion dates close to mid-September 2007 unless it quickly and substantively changes its execution of the project and schedule. The Architect of the Capitol should promptly develop an action plan setting forth specific steps that AOC and the CVC team will take to enhance AOC's execution of the schedule and project. Types of actions the team should consider are as follows: (1) make more visible, aggressive, and focused efforts to manage activities in the project's critical and key near-critical paths according to the schedule, making sure that priority activities receive priority attention; (2) see that sufficient effort is applied to meet important dates, and taking into account that any consideration of acceleration should balance its impact on the schedule against its prospective cost, the CVC team may wish to consider including the use of targeted acceleration when it is justified and will save time without adversely affecting worker safety, work quality, or facility functionality or causing trade stacking; (3) ensure that mechanisms are in place to identify and quickly resolve problems, issues, risks, questions, and concerns raised by construction contractors or others; provide needed design guidance and instructions; and respond to submittals effectively and quickly, including closely monitoring the turnaround time for architectural support from this point forward; (4) continuously ensure the effective operation of mechanisms put in place to coordinate work among the many contractors and subcontractors constructing the building and to coordinate with AOC's Chief Fire Marshal, U.S. Capitol Police, and the Capitol Power Plant; and (5) continue to see that requests for discretionary changes to the project's scope or design are promptly brought to the attention of the Capitol Preservation Commission, along with the impact of such requested changes on the project's schedule. AOC agreed that additional actions are needed to improve the extent to which the CVC team meets its scheduled dates and said that it would identify and take such actions. To help put the CVC team in a better position to meet the project's scheduled completion date, after considering the actions we have identified, the Architect of the Capitol should promptly provide the Capitol Preservation Commission, the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations, and the Senate Committee on Rules and Administration and the Committee on House Administration with a plan setting forth the actions it and the CVC team will take to enhance their execution of the project and its schedule--particularly to accomplish all of the critical work that needs to get done in the next 3 to 4 months. AOC should submit the plan as soon as possible, but no later than mid-October 2006. Congress can then use this plan to hold AOC accountable for managing the project and to work closely with AOC to ensure that the schedule implications of all proposed scope or design changes are quickly determined and considered by all appropriate stakeholders before final decisions on the proposed changes are made.

MLB Confidential: Overturn Joyce's blown call?
Question: Should Bud Selig have overturned the result of the Galarraga near-perfect game?
Overturning Galarraga's near-perfect game
Yes: 13%
No: 86%
Not sure: 1%
AL players:
Yes: 14%
No: 84%
Not sure: 2%
NL players:
Yes: 12%
No: 88%
In the biggest slam-dunk of the survey, 86 of 100 said no way. And some said it louder than others. "As a pitcher, it was heartbreaking to see that," one NL starter said. "But the call had to be overturned on the field, not in the front office." A player from the same team -- also a pitcher -- disagreed with his clubmate. "Do it," he answered. "It was a perfect game. Reverse it, so Galarraga can get his credit and Jim Joyce can get his sleep."
After Jim Joyce's blown call at first base cost Detroit Tigers pitcher Armando Galarraga a perfect game, MLB umpires came under harsh scrutiny. To test the current climate of player-umpire relations, ESPN The Magazine grilled 100 MLBers about the boys in blue. Here's what we found:
1. Who are the three best umpires in baseball?
2. Who are the three worst umpires in baseball?
3. Which umpire has the quickest hook?
4. Grade the overall performance of umpires, "A" through "F."
5. Should there be replay on base calls?
6. Should there be replay on fair/foul calls?
7. Should Bud Selig have overturned the result of the Galarraga near-perfect game?
