The federal government should aspire to promote a prosperous future for the nation through the strategic use of federal IT by driving efficiency across government, spurring innovation, protecting and defending U.S. resources and more effectively bringing services to citizens, according to Federal CIO Steven VanRoekel.
VanRoekel sounded a familiar refrain, stressing the need to "do more with less" at a breakfast organized by the Armed Forces Communications and Electronics Association's Bethesda chapter, held Feb. 24.
The government also needs to focus on meeting the needs of the changing world. With that comes the prevalence of social media and the mobile revolution, both of which are transforming how the government is delivering its services to citizens, VanRoekel said.
Despite tighter budgets and cutbacks in the past three years, the nation has innovated more than in the last decade, VanRoekel said, and there are many ways to do more with less. TechStat reviews, data center consolidation and FedRamp can help maximizing return on investment on federal IT, as well as using IT as a strategic asset.
Other high-priority areas for 2012 include: Shared First: Launch government wide portfolio reviews and implement contract vehicles for cloud and commodity IT services.
Future First: Issue guidance to support modular approaches in acquisition and development.
Return on investment: Accelerate Office of Management and Budget-led TechStat reviews and expand the TechStat model to the bureau level.
People: Recruit skilled personnel through the presidential Tech Fellows Program and establish new standards for the IT Program Manager career track.
Cyber: Invest $769 million to support operations in the national cybersecurity division at the Homeland Security Department and continue Cyberstat reviews.

"LEGACY COLLECTION" WOOD FLOORING Full Lifetime Structural Integrity Warranty Structural Integrity means that G.E. Shnier's brands of wood flooring products will remain free from defective milling and grading for as long as the original purchaser owns the house. Hardwood flooring, being a natural product, will continue to expand and contract through normal heating and non-heating seasons. Properly installed solid hardwood floors may consequently experience some minor separation between boards at different times during the year. If minor separations do occur, they are not covered by this warranty. The relative humidity of the home should be maintained at a constant 35-60% throughout the year. Full Finish Wear Layer Warranty The manufacturer warrants, to the original purchaser, that its prefinished surface layer will not wear through or separate from the wood for a full 25 years from date of purchase, when used under normal residential traffic conditions. Warranty Protection Means... If a portion of your floor should fail with respect to any of the provisions of these warranties, the manufacturer, at it's sole option, to the original purchaser, for as long as you own your home, and within the warranty time limits as outlined elsewhere in this warranty summary, will repair, refinish or replace such portion with the same product or another product of equal value. In the unlikely event the manufacturer is unable to correct the failure after a reasonable number of attempts, they will refund, if requested, the purchase price for that portion of the floor that fails. To file a claim, first contact the retailer where the purchase was made. If the retailer is unable to satisfy the claim, contact the manufacturer by letter to G.E. Shnier Co, 50 Kenview Blvd., Brampton, Ontario L6T 5S8 Attn: Warranty Claims Department. Claims must be filed within the warranty coverage period and information verifying date of purchase will be requested. The manufacturer reserves the right to have a designated representative inspect the floor and possibly take samples for technical analysis. Warranty Exclusions The manufacturer's warranties do not cover indentations, scratches or damages cause by negligence, liquid spills, moisture, erosion, pets, insects, spiked heel shoes, pebbles, sand, or other abrasives, failure to follow instructions, improper maintenance, wet mopping, insufficient protection, misuse or improper alterations of the original product. Normal exposure to sunlight will cause subtle changes in the shading of any hardwood floor as the floor ages. Area rugs should be moved occasionally as they block sunlight and may give the appearance of discoloring under the rug. This is not a product defect. The use of matching putty during an installation should be considered a usual and common practice to fill small defects in the finished floor. Due to the natural character and variation in wood, up to 5% of each carton of material may contain natural or milling defects which need to be cut out, filled, or installed in a less noticeable location such as a closet or near a perimeter wall. If material with visible or obvious defects, incorrect colour or unsatisfactory grade is installed, neither labour or material will be covered under this warranty. Responsibility for final inspection and approval rests with the installer and/or homeowner. This writing is the complete and exclusive statement of the warranty, and is in lieu of all other express and/or statutory warranties. The manufacturer assumes no liability for incidental or consequential damages. However, some provinces or states do not allow the exclusion of limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so this exclusion may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights that may vary from one location to another. The sole remedy provided herein is the repair, refinish, or replacement of defective products. No warranties apply to any product or products designated as seconds, economy grade, rustic or nonstandard items. Any product or products so designated are sold "as is". G.E. Shnier Co, 50 Kenview Blvd., Brampton, Ontario L6T 5S8 Ph: 905-789-3755 Fax: 905-789-3760 Nov. 2005 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR LEGACY COLLECTION General Rules: • ¾" solid wood flooring is intended for installation on or above grade only. For installation below grade, special precautions must be taken including an assessment of the humidity level, seasonal variations in humidity, and moisture testing of the subfloor. Your hardwood flooring dealer can best offer you advice in this area. Also, do not install over radiant heat installed within concrete floors. • Your flooring should be delivered at least 72 hours prior to installation. Heating and air conditioning should be on so that the flooring can acclimate to the conditions under which it will remain after installation. Relative humidity should fall within a range of 35% - 60% at 20°C. • Moisture content of the subfloor and the hardwood flooring should be measured. If the difference in moisture content of the hardwood flooring and the subfloor is more than 2%, installation should not proceed until the two are within 2% of each other. • Hardwood flooring requires ½" – ¾" expansion space around the perimeter of the floor and at all vertical obstructions within the room. This space is covered by baseboard and quarter round after installation. • Hardwood flooring should be installed at right angles to the floor joists. If this is not possible, subfloor should be built up to a thickness of 1" for proper support and nail holding. • High spots on subfloor should be sanded down and re-nailing should be done to eliminate any squeaks or loose boards. • Because of the natural variation in hardwood flooring, it is important to work out of 3 or 4 different boxes at a time to ensure a proper blend of shading. Close attention should be paid to date codes or "batches" as identified on the carton label, to ensure proper mixing or how it may affect layout of the floor. • Proper nail spacing is one nail every 8"-10" with at least 2 nails in every board. Every board should be nailed so that there is a nail within the last three inches of both ends of the board. • 2" nails should be used for machine nailing of this product. • The following tools are needed: Tape measure, broom, chalk line, hammer, nail set, pry bar, circular saw, miter saw or table saw, and power nailer and mallet. • Final inspection rests with the installer. No labour charges or collateral expenses will be covered if the product is not suitable to the consumer. Installation: • Ensure subfloor is clean with no high spots or loose boards. • From the starting wall, measure out a distance at each corner equal to the board width of the board plus ¾". Snap a chalk line between the two points as a guide for the first row. • Lay the first row with the tongue pointing out into the room. Pre-drill and face nail this first row ¾" from the edge of the board closest to the wall, along the chalk line, maintaining the ¾" expansion space. Predrill along the tongue and edge nail the boards at a 45 degree angle through the tongue along this first row. Sink the nails with a nail punch. Fill holes not covered by mouldings with matching putty. • Subsequent rows can now be placed and nailed using the 45 degree nailing through the tongue only. The power nailer can be used as soon as space from the wall allows. Typically, the first few rows will need to be done by hand. Also, the last few rows will need to be hand nailed. • When fitting the last row, be sure to rip the boards if necessary to maintain the ½" – ¾" expansion space. Nov. 2005 TROPICAL WALNUT INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Factory Finished 3/4" Solid plank IMPORTANT: PROCEED WITH A VISUAL INSPECTION OF THE STRIPS BEFORE INSTALLATION. ONCE INSTALLED, THE STRIPS ARE CONSIDERED ACCEPTED BY THE INSTALLER AND THE OWNER. PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE PROCEEDING WITH THE INSTALLATION OWNER / INSTALLER RESPONSIBILITY Hardwood flooring is a beautiful and unique product of nature, which is characterized by distinctive variations in grain and color. These natural variations in color and grain are not flaws, but are a part of the natural beauty and uniqueness of hardwood flooring. These inherent variations should be expected and serve to enhance the natural beauty and enduring charm. This floor is manufactured in accordance with accepted industry standards, which permit a defect tolerance not to exceed 5%. The defects may be of a manufacturing or natural type . • The installer assumes all responsibility for final inspection of product quality. This inspection of the whole flooring should be done before installation. Carefully examine the flooring is color, finish and quality before installing it. Use reasonable selectivity and hold out or cut off pieces with glaring defects whatever the cause. If the flooring is not acceptable, contact your dealer immediately. • Before beginning installation of any hardwood flooring product, the installer must determine that the environment of the job site and the condition and type of the subfloor involved are acceptable, insuring that it meets or exceeds all requirements which are stipulated in the installation instructions which follow. The supplier declines any responsibility for job failure resulting from or associated with inappropriate or improperly prepared subfloor or job site environment deficiencies. • Prior to installation, the installer/owner has final inspection responsibility as to grade, manufacture and factory finish. The installer must use reasonable selectivity and hold out or cut off pieces with deficiencies. • The use of stain, filler or putty stick for the correction of defects during installation should be accepted as normal procedure. • Should an individual piece be doubtful as to grade, manufacture or factory finish, the installer should not use the piece. • When a hardwood flooring is ordered, a 5 - 10% allowance factor, depending on layout, must be added to the actual square footage amount needed. (Diagonal installations may require more.) • Please note that this floors must be installed in environments of 40% to 55% relative humidity to prevent possible damage not covered by warranty. Installation of a humidifier or dehumidifier may be necessary. The floor is designed to perform in an environmentally controlled structure. Warranty exclusions are, but not limited to, surface checking resulting from low humidity, mildew or discoloration resulting from extreme sub-floor moisture. "IF YOU INSTALL THE FLOOR YOU ACCEPT THE FLOOR" JOB SITE INSPECTION & ACCLIMATION • In a new construction, hardwood flooring should be one of the last items installed. All work involving water or moisture (plumbing, acoustical ceilings, dry wall taping, etc.) should be completed prior to wood flooring being installed. Heating and air systems should be fully operating maintaining a consistent room temperature at 16oC to 27oC (60-80o F) and a constant relative humidity of 40 to 55%. • Flooring should not be delivered until the building has been closed in and cement work, plastering, painting and other materials are completely dry. Concrete and plaster should be cured and at least 60 to 90 days old. Check basements and underfloor crawl space to be sure that they are dry and well ventilated to avoid damage caused by moisture. • For proper acclimation, flooring should be at the job site at least 72 hours prior to installation or as long as necessary to meet minimum installation requirements for moisture content. Acclimation within a closed or sealed carton may not be adequate due to lack of air movement, especially in dryer climates. Please take appropriate measures to ensure proper acclimation, which may entail removal of outer plastic wrapping or opening of cartons and peeling back of interior plastic wrapping if packaged in this manor. (Do not open the ends of cartons only, as this can lead to tapered ends of individual flooring strips or planks.) • Handle with care. Do not stand on ends. Store the flooring in a dry place being sure to provide at least a four-inch air space under and around cartons. • Do not store directly on concrete or near outside walls. Cartons should be placed in the installation area. • The installation site should have consistent room temperature at 16oC to 27oC (60-80o F) and a constant relative humidity of 40 to 55% for a minimum of 5 days prior to installation. • Note: The moisture content of the subfloor and wood flooring should be checked by an appropriate method. There sould be no more than 4% (2% on planks 5" and wider) moisture content difference between properly acclimated wood flooring and subflooring materials, taking into consideration normal living conditions and equilibrium moisture content (EMC). IMPORTANT: 3/4" Solid Flooring are for on or above grade installation only 3/4" Solid Flooring can not be installed over radiant heat DOWN INSTA REQUIRED TOOLS AND ACCESSORIES Hand Tools • Power Nailer • Tape Measure • Mallet • Circular Saw • Miter or Table Saw • Pry Bar • Moisture Meter • Broom • Chalk Line and Chalk • Hammer • Safety Equipment (Goggles & Mask) • Utility Knife • Nail Punch 3/4" Fasterners • Power Nailer #445 Pneumatic, #45 manual 2" cleat nail • Primatch Pneumatic Floor Nailer Model P210 with 2" Power Cleat • Primatech Manual Nailer Model H300 or H330 with 2" Power Cleat • Stanley-Bostich Pnematic Floor Nailer M3-FN with 2" Power Cleat • Porta-Nailer 402 manual with 2" cleat nail Note: Use only a flooring nailer that engages the top profile over the tongue at the appropriate angle. Make sure that the flooring nailer is flat against the board to prevent top edge damage. The plate in contact with the floor must be smooth and free from nicks or scratches. We also suggest the use of adaptors to prevent damage to the edges. Two existing, commonly used adapters are: • Powernail's "Big Foot" must be used on their 45 and 445 nailers. • Stanley's "M-3 Foot Kit" must be used with the M-3 nailer. Important: Set air compressor to 80 PSI (or follow manufacturer's suggested PSI setting). Adjust the air pressure to insure proper setting of nails. If tongue damage occurs, lower the air pressure. Cracked or broken tongues can cause squeaking floors. Harder species of wood flooring are more brittle and require the use of cleats are recommended. Minor occasional noises in fastened floors are normal and not covered by our warranty. Important: If you need to remove a side nail, do not pull straight up from the tongue. This will damage the surface of the board. Instead, pull out the nail from the tongue at the front of the board with all pressure from the hammer head directed into the subfloor. For 9/16'' (14 mm) or 5/8'' (15,5 mm), we recommends use of a; Powernail model 200 or 250 with 1-1/2" cleats or the High Pro AS-400 with 1-1/4" staple . These nailers have proved to be superior to any other nailer in the market. Use appropriate adapter for nailer. The use of any 3/4" nailer with 1/2" adapter plates is not recommended. In certain situations, these floors can be installed using a 100% urethane adhesive. Note: Use only a flooring nailer that engages the top profile over the tongue at the appropriate angle. Make sure that the flooring nailer is flat against the board to prevent top edge damage. The plate in contact with the floor must be smooth and free from nicks or scratches. We also suggest the use of adaptors to prevent damage to the edges. Two existing, commonly used adapters are: • Powernail's "Big Foot" must be used on their 45 and 445 nailers. • Stanley's "M-3 Foot Kit" must be used with the M-3 nailer.

This will damage the surface of the board. Instead, pull out the nail from the tongue at the front of the board with all pressure from the hammer head directed into the subfloor. SUBFLOOR PREPARATION Approved Subfloor Types: 1. APA approved 5/8" minimum thickness, preferred 3/4" or thicker exterior plywood. 2. 3/4" (23/32") OSB on 16" center floor joists properly nailed. 3. Concrete slab with additional approved wood sleepers and screed system. (See NWFA's guidelines) 4. Wood floors (if installed at proper angle only). 5. Resilient tile and sheet vinyl if installed over an above mentioned and approved subfloor. NOTE: When installing approved plywood, refer to specific manufacturer's instructions. Subfloors must be: CLEAN - Scraped or sanded, swept, free of wax, grease, paint, oil and other debris SMOOTH/FLAT - Within 1/8" on 6'. Sand high areas or joints, fill low areas. STRUCTURALLY SOUND - Nail or screw any loose areas that squeak. Replace any damaged subflooring or underlayments. DRY - An 8 to 10% moisture content is ideal and must never exceed 13% prior to installation of wood flooring. Remember: All moisture testing must be before wood has been acclimated 72 hours and job site requirements met. Wood Substrates: Test the moisture of the wood substrate using a calibrated moisture meter approved for testing wood moisture according to the meter manufacturer. The reading should not exceed 13%, or read more than a 4% difference than moisture content of products being installed. (maximum 2% for planks 5" and wider) Concrete Slabs (regardless of existing floor covering): Must have a minimum of 3/4" plywood installed as a screed/sleeper system with a minimum of 6 mil polyfilm vapor barrier secured to the slab. All concrete subfloors must be tested for moisture content prior to installation of the hardwood flooring. The moisture content of the concrete subfloor must not exceed 3 lbs./100 sq. ft emissions. Below are methods to test if moisture is present in the concrete subfloor: 1) Use an approved calibrated concrete Moisture Meter as a preliminary measurement for moisture such as: Delmhorst Moisture Meter Model G Tramex Concrete Encounter. Follow manufacturer's specific calibration requirements. 2) Perform a polyfilm Test. Tape down 2' x 2' polyfilm squares (a clear garbage bag or plastic drop cloth will do) in several places on the floor. Wait 24-48 hours, and then check for the appearance of condensation on the inside of the bag or plastic for a darkening on the concrete subfloor. Either occurrence signals the likely presence of excess moisture, requiring a mandatory Calcium Chloride Test. Once you have determined the moisture content, a test must be performed to determine the moisture and alkalinity emissions through the concrete slab. • Perform a Calcium Chloride test according to the manufacturer's instructions. The maximum acceptable reading is 3-lbs. /24 hours/1000 sq. ft for moisture emissions. • Perform a pH Test according to the manufacturer's instructions. A pH reading of 6-9 on a pH number scale of 1-14 is acceptable. If the test results exceed this number the concrete slab should be sealed with appropriate sealers to correct those emissions as per the manufacturer's recommendations. Installation on Plywood and Wood Substrates: Do not install over particleboard. Subfloor should be constructed of 5/8" or thicker plywood when installing directly over minimum 2 x 10 floor joists 16" on center. Plywood sheets should be laid with grained outer plies at right angles to joists; adjacent rows staggered four feet and nailed every 6" along each joist with 7D or larger nails. When installing directly over old wood or strip floor, sand any high spots, re-nail old floor to eliminate squeaks or loose boards, and install new planks at right angle (perpendicular) to the old floor, or over lay old floor with 1/4" plywood underlayment. Leave a 1/8" gap at the edges and nail with 7D or larger nails every 6" at the edges and every 12" in both directions and through the interior of each sheet of plywood. The moisture content of the wood or plywood should not exceed 13%. Subfloor - Floated: PREFERRED: Subfloor system: 2 layers 1/2" (15/32", 11.9mm) CDX plywood subfloor/underlayment, (Exposure 1) 4' x 8' sheets. MINIMUM Subfloor system: 2 layers 3/8" (10mm) CDX Plywood subfloor/underlayment (Exposure 1) 4' x 8' sheets. Place first plywood layer with edges parallel to wall, without fastening. Plywood should be placed with 1/8" gaps between sheets. Lay second layer perpendicular or at 45 degree angle to first. Plywood should be placed with 1/8" gaps between sheets. 3/4" minimum expansion space at all vertical obstructions and wall lines. Staple, screw, or nail second layer to first layer on 12" grid pattern. Please note: Vapour barrier must be installed under the subfloor. JOB SITE PREPARATION Acclimate product for 72 hours prior to installation. Verify subfloor is level to within 3/16" in 10', and structurally sound. Repair as needed. Undercut door casings. Remove any existing wall base, shoe molding, quarter round and doorway thresholds. Cover the clean surface, wall to wall, with 15 lb. asphalt saturated felt paper, butting the edges together. Use of felt paper is optional and will not prevent squeaks or any other noise reduction. Step 1: ESTABLISH A STARTING POINT • Before beginning the actual installation, provide proper layout of flooring by distributing short and long lengths equally over the areas where the flooring is to be installed. Remember: Flooring is to be installed at right angles to the floor joists and if possible, in the longest dimension of the room. • Work out of several cartons at a time to insure proper color mixture. • Align the first row of planks to be sure you have a good straight line from one side of the room to the other. Snap a chalk line at the desired distance from the wall to help align the planks. The end joints of plank or strip flooring should be staggered to achieve the best appearance in the finished floor. (Minimum 6") Important: Leave at least 3/4" for expansion at all vertical surface or at least what will be covered by the baseboard and quarter round trim. Step 2: INSTALLING THE FLOOR • NOTE: Always end glue wide width (4" or more) planks with a PVA wood glue. • Striking the edge of a board with a mallet will fracture the new aluminum oxide finishes. Always tap the tongue or use a tapping block. • Align the first piece on the chalk line. The groove side and end will be facing the starting wall. Pre drill holes and drive 7D or 8D finish nails or screw type flooring nails into the face of the board every 12", approximately 1/2" - 3/4" from the edge closest to the starting wall and within 2"- 3" from the ends and in the darker grain of the wood. • Edge nail the plank by driving the same type nails at a 50o angle through the tongue of the first piece, spacing the nails every 8" - 10" and within 2" - 3" from the ends. This process should be repeated for each piece in the entire first row. Upon completion of the first row, go back and sink the face nails with a nail punch. If it appears that the holes will not be covered by the wall base or quarter round trim, fill the holes with Floor Putty, which blends with your pre-stained floor. • NOTE: Typically the first few rows must be edge nailed by hand rather than with a nailing machine due to a vertical wall obstruction. When clearance allows, a nailing machine, which drive 2" fasteners with an appropriate mallet, can be used to simplify and speed up the nailing process. • Install each succeeding row of planks by edge nailing the tongue side every 8" - 10" and within 2" - 3" from board ends. Be attentive to staggering the ends of the boards at least 6" in adjacent rows to avoid clustering end joints. Upon reaching the last row to be installed, the planks should be ripped to allow a 3/4" expansion space. The last rows must be fastened by nailing approximately 1/2" - 3/4" from the back edge of the board every 12". The same process of counter sinking the face nails and applying Flooring Putty should be repeated (as above on starting wall). • When the installation is complete, make sure that the expansion space is covered with the appropriate molding such as, base board and 1/4 round. COMPLETING THE JOB – ALL INSTALLATION • Clean the floor with Hardwood Floor Cleaner. Please ensure that any adhesive on the finish is cleaned before leaving. Dried or cured adhesive cannot be removed. • Install transition pieces. • Inspect final floor for nicks or minor gaps and fill with appropriate color wood putty. • Use plywood or hardboard when moving heavy appliances or furniture across floor. CARE GUIDE Your floor will add warmth and beauty to your home for many years to come. Following a few simple maintenance steps, will help protect your investment and keep your floor like new. CLEANING • Use a damp cloth to blot up spills and spots as soon as they happen. For tough spots such as oil, paint, markers, lipstick, ink, tar or cigarette marks, use acetone/nail polish remover then wipe with a damp cloth. Always avoid allowing liquids to stand on your floor. • Regularly vacuum, (using the hard floor attachment not the beater bar), dust mop or sweep the floor to prevent sand or abrasive dust from accumulating and scratching the finish. • Periodically clean the floor with approved hardwood floor cleaner, which are specially formulated for the finish. • Do not use oil based, wax, polish, or strong ammoniated or abrasive cleaners, steel wool or scouring powder to clean the floor. • Do not wash or wet-mop the floor with soap, water, oil soap detergent or any other liquid cleaning material. This could cause swelling warping, delaminating and joint-line separation, and void the warranty. • DO NOT use any type of polisher. PROTECTING • Use quality area rugs and doormats by outdoor entrance areas to prevent dirt, sand, grit and other substances such as oil, asphalt or driveway sealer from being tracked onto your floor. • Sweep, dust or vacuum the floor regularly to prevent accumulation of dirt or grit that can scratch or dull the floor finish. • Use floor protectors and wide bearing leg bases/rollers to minimize indentations and scratches from heavy objects. As a rule of thumb, the heavier the object, the wider the floor protector should be. • Do not use rubber or foam backed plastic mats as they may discolour the floor. To prevent slippage use an approved vinyl rug underlayment. • Maintain a normal indoor relative humidity level between 40% and 55% throughout the year, to minimize the natural expansion and contraction of wood. Failure to provide adequate relative humidity in the home by the use of a humidifier or a dehumidifier will void the warranty. • Avoid gouges or cuts in your floor from sharp objects. While your floor is one of the most wear resistant floors on the market, sharp or pointed objects can nevertheless damage it. • Don't walk on your floor with stiletto-style heels, spiked golf shoes or cleats; they may cause indentations in your floor. • Rearrange area rugs and furniture periodically so the floor ages evenly. UV sunlight will soften or darken the tone of different species of hardwood to varying degrees • Use a dolly when moving heavy furniture or appliances. But first, put down a sheet of quarter inch plywood or Masonite to protect the floor. Never try to slide or roll heavy objects across the floor. • Keep pet's nails trimmed, or consider "booties" available at pet stores.

Aviva Premiership: Bath remain in third place with hard-fought win
Last Updated: 22/02/14 6:28pm
Bath grabbed a bonus-point victory to cement their third place in the Aviva Premiership after Wasps pushed them all the way in a roller coaster of a game.
The visitors' strong, inventive running posed huge problems for a sluggish home defence throughout but Bath had enough firepower themselves to see off the challenge and come through as 32-25 winners.
Right wing Anthony Watson grabbed two tries and others went to Nick Abendanon and Kyle Eastmond. Fly-half Tom Heathcote kicked two penalties and three conversions.
Wasps' tries were scored by wing Will Helu, number eight Nathan Hughes and full-back Elliot Daly, with fly-half Joe Carlisle kicking the rest of their points.
They had to be content with a losing bonus point as they continue to scrap for a top six finish in the hope of qualifying for a revamped European competition next year.
The visitors handed Bath an easy scoring opportunity from the kick-off when Kearnan Myall misjudged his leap and Heathcote kicked a penalty when Ashley Johnson offended at the breakdown.
Wasps quickly threatened themselves as Helu's arcing run from the right gave James Haskell a sniff of the line and hooker Tom Lindsay was then held up under the posts. But Francois Louw twice won turnovers to put his side back on the front foot.
Heathcote missed with a fifth-minute penalty attempt from 40 metres and Myall stopped Ollie Devoto just metres short of the try-line to earn a scrum put-in.
But Hughes knocked on at the base and Bath took full advantage from the scrum as Eastmond drew two defenders for Watson to spin out of James Short's tackle and score in the corner.
While Heathcote was wide with the conversion, Carlisle's accurate boot made certain of two penalties at the other end to leave Wasps just two points adrift at 8-6 after 22 minutes.
It was fair reward for some strong ball-carrying, cleverly prompted by Carlisle, but indiscipline at the breakdown continued to hurt them and Heathcote soon edged Bath further ahead.
Back came Wasps with a bullocking run by Johnson but Charlie Davies flung a loose pass to Watson who raced 70 metres for an intercept score, converted by Heathcote.
Wasps responded with a try in the corner by Hughes, converted by Carlisle, but again they fluffed the restart and Abendanon scored in the corner from a clever round-the-corner pass by Leroy Houston. Heathcote converted to make the score 25-13 at half-time.
For much of the second half Wasps threatened to run Bath off their feet, first creating a try in the corner for Helu, converted by Carlisle.
Bath were rocking, but suddenly they broke out of defence with chip over the top by Heathcote which was carried on by Peter Stringer and Devoto for Eastmond to finish off at the other end for a spectacular bonus-point try.
The fly-half's conversion gave Bath a little breathing space at 32-20 but back came Wasps with a Daly try to stay within a score.
Bath tried to regain control of the game but it was a nervy last few minutes for the capacity Recreation Ground crowd.

The reboot problem is resolved. Those who had it (for months) are waiting for TSI to provide some sort of financial compensation (as they have stated they would).
I just don't get it... how hard is it to negotiate a credit from Bell? i guess pulling teeth is easier...
Hi Martin,So... It has been another month... Where are we at? We were promised some sort of compensation once the issue was resolved. It has been resolved for a while now.
I think Teksavvy is trying to sweep it under the rug, now that the complaining has stopped from users with this problem.
I got the update to firmware 22.214.171.124R8-wh somewhere before August 1st,and it's been stable since then (currently August 13th).
I've used several of the cellpipe firmware at my place, 126.96.36.199EF-STINGER, 188.8.131.52EF-ISAM, 22.214.171.124R3WH (the rebooting one), and now the 22.214.171.124R8-wh.I've never lost sync on any of them that I've noticed.
If you have firmware 18.104.22.168R3WH you should enter your login into the modem and reboot it. It should then update to 188.8.131.52R8WH at which point the issue appears to be fixed.
In any case I plugged in my extra 188.8.131.52EF-STINGER modem today. We'll see how long it takes to get switched over to 220.127.116.11R8.

Even more revealing...and color for deedles
secondhalfOctober 3, 2012
hi everyone....I can't resist putting more pics of the progress because I know when it seemed my cabs would NEVER arrive and then certainly never be installed, it made me feel better to see progress on GW.
Deedles- the color is Dove White by a semi-custom company Grabill. They are beautifully made and both the delivery company and the installer volunteered comments about their quality. They were less expensive than Brookhaven.
I can't put multiple pics from my iPad (well, maybe one CAN, but I don't know how...) so I will post a couple - hope that's ok.

I just found this page in the forum. Forgive me for my bad manners. I brewed my first batch about 3 weeks ago. Did some reading( How to Brew) beforehand but all the reading in the world can't REALLY prepare you for your first brew. Of course I brewed and racked and then started second guessing many things I had done....and Google lead me to you. What a great area for information and help. I now read all the days posts before I go to bed each night.
I have a co-worker that has been brewing for many years now. He has a Octoberfest at his house every fall to try his 4-5 new beers. I asked him to make a few kegs for my wedding reception last December so the guests could enjoy his awesome homebrews. He agreed, and I helped him on brew day and have been hooked ever since.
I still haven't tried my finishet product yet, the anticipation is killing me! Planning my next batch right now.
Welcome! Sorry to inform you, but it's all downhill from here. Once you start, you can't stop. I just love the fact that it's an adiction that won't hurt anyone.
Welcome to brewing
Primary: Curvaceous AK, Ruinatious Wheat
Yes, it's can be a consuming hobby! I recently took a keg to a wedding rehearsal party. What a blast enjoying your labors and sharing the good brew.

Apple seeks trial over DoJ price fixing allegationsApple on Wednesday rose to challenge the U.S. Department of Justice's lawsuit over alleged ebook price fixing, asking for a trial at the first hearing in Manhattan federal court since the DoJ's filing last week.
A lawyer for Apple said that the Cupertino, Calif., company wants to defend itself in court against allegations that it colluded with five major book publishers to fix the price of ebooks provided through the iBookstore, reports Reuters.
Standing by Apple in its pursuit of a separate trial are publishing houses Macmillan, a unit of Verlagsgruppe Georg von Holtzbrinck GmbH, and Penguin Group, which is owned by Pearson.
"Our basic view is that we would like the case to be decided on the merits," said Apple lawyer Daniel Floyd to U.S. District Judge Denise Cote. "We believe that this is not an appropriate case against us and we would like to validate that."
The three remaining publishers that decided not to fight the accusations, News Corp's HarperCollins Publishers Inc, CBS Corp's Simon & Schuster Inc and Lagardere SCA subsidiary Hachette Book Group, settled out of court. Fifteen states and the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico were reportedly in settlement talks with the three publishers.
Shepard Goldfein, a lawyer for HarperCollins, told the court that if all 50 states were to settle, it could impact a class action suit from consumers. The company is apparently hedging its bets and attempting to avoid any additional fallout from the multiple lawsuits.
"There could be something left of the class, or nothing left of the class," Goldfein said.
With the settlement, Apple can no longer practice its "most favored nations" policy that has allowed publishers to name the price of ebooks in return for not selling the products to other resellers like Amazon. The internet sales giant will likely revert back to its original wholesale model, which allows it to set the prices of ebooks at below-cost prices to lure customers.
Hachette and HarperCollins agreed to pay $51 million in restitutions to a group of U.S. states for consumers who bought ebooks under Apple's scrutinized sales model. Simon and Schuster is also looking to enter the settlement a company lawyer said. It is unclear what plans the states have for settlement the money.
The allegations of price fixing are also being studied by the European Commission, and the government body announced that it had received settlement proposals from Apple, Simon & Schuster, Harper Collins, Hachette Livre and Macmillan.

Seriously, now trying socks for DS
Younger DS lives in NYC and says his feet are usually cold. So I have been meaning to knit him some socks, something I have never done, and just got out the LionBrand Magic Stripes yarn tonight. I am making the sock pattern on the back of the label and find to get gauge that I need to use size 1 needles. Wish me luck. The one time I tried anothr sock pattern, it came out huge. It was not hard to knit, just did not turn out the right size.
Have your menfolk or you who have cold feet found that woolen hand knit socks help keep the feet warm?
Sheila, the one pair of socks I made for my husband also came out a bit too large. But he loves them for sleeping in. I've made several pair for a sister-in-law who swears that they are the warmest socks she's ever had. She works outside and wears them to work in quite often. She calls them her toasty socks.
Sheila, you bet wool socks are warm! And your DS will love them! I knitted 1 pair for DH and am working on another for him. I won't let him wear them to work, because he wears holes in them, but at night he will put them on here at home for a few hours. He loves them. I have 4 pair of my own, with one of a pair missing at the moment. One of those pair is made with alpaca, and is the warmest socks I've ever found. I can only wear them when I am freezing!
Oh yes. I heart my handknit wool socks. I would never ever knit them on size 2s again, but I love them. If you use a toe-up pattern, it's easier to get them the right size, I think, 'cause they're easier to try on that way.
I knit some for a friend, and didn't have him around, but he had roughly the same size feet as one of my brothers, so I made my brother try them on. You can ALWAYS block them bigger, but you can't block them smaller.

Well, he laughed at the Magic Stripe I was using (with navy, medium blue, brown and flecks of ecru) so I ripped out the half I had made and am now making little bootie socks for expected grandson with the yarn. It seems everything for little boys is shown in brown or denim these days, so these socks will work fine for him. I made a round of eyelet holes at the bottom of the ribbing to be able to use ties on the socks so they will stay on.
I also had bought some black finer, fingering wool yarn, so I will try that yarn for a pair for DS which he will learn to love, I hope. Solid black will be properly professional looking, and as he has a law internship next semester, he will get more use from the plain black since he will have to dress for work every day.
If it's not sock yarn, you should reinforce the heel/toe with thread. It'll make them last longer.
The only thing my place of employment DOESNT get upset about is my socks. For some reason, I'm allowed to have mismatching socks or socks that don't match my outfit at all - that show, mind you - but I'm not allowed to put spikes in my hair on a temporary basis for Halloween. You could probably get away with making him funkier socks.
~ Kit
ironkit-good suggestion re: using yarn designed specifically for socks. One other thing I do when knitting socks is to cast on using a slightly larger needle. ie: when knitting with a size 2 needles, I cast on with a size 4 and then switch back to 2's. It seems to eliminate some of the stress on the yarn when putting them on da feet.
The variety of sock yarns available is mind boggling. Don't you just want all of them??

Multinational professional services giant, Ernst & Young launched their newly named brand, EY, earlier this month with an accompanying fresh new look. A re-brand is always an exciting time for any brand. Unfortunately for EY though, who deal heavily in due diligence and corporate advice, is that this exciting time has been dampened by the criticism and giggles around the new name. What looks to be a fact that was unknown to Ernst & Young, EY! is also the name of a gay Spanish soft porn magazine, known for its spreads of naked male models in, lets say compromising positions. What probably seemed like an easy re-naming project – EY has been used as shorthand for Ernst & Young for decades – has turned into a balls up.

According to designer Hans Hulsbosch who created the brand for Woolworths' hardware retail chain, Masters, the name was chosen because it stands for strength, intelligence and artistry. They wanted the name to be simple, strong and contemporary, one that would appeal to both genders. If that was the intent then something has been lost in the execution.
Sporting teams all over the world must contend with the balance of club brand vs personal brand when the decision is made to sign up a superstar. Players that are so well-known and successful can end up being as big, if not bigger than the team they play for. Think Michael Jordan, Babe Ruth and David Beckham. And who could blame these sporting teams for playing up the fact they have this superstar playing for their team? However if it's not managed well, it can have devastating results if that superstar decides to leave at the end of a contract and play for another club.

One of the most important things in a brand is remembrance. If a brand cannot be remembered it won't be consumed as much as it is wished.

In an article last week in the Age (9th July), actor Colin Friels was interviewed about his up and coming role in an independent theatre production Moving Parts, written by advertising creative David Nobay.

IKEA's latest campaign, "Make Small Space Big", uses the idea of 'living dollhouse' to demonstrate that with cleverly designed products, there is the potential to maximize each square meter in a small home.

Every year, for two very long months, millions of people are going through symptoms of withdrawal. The cause? Its the off-season, and all the stars of the English Premier League (EPL) are on bloody holiday.
The football on display in the EPL is a thrilling cocktail of drama, physicality and skills on a very lucrative stage. But when the football goes on hiatus, us fans only have the off-field drama to keep us entertained. This usually comes in the form of transfers, as it is during this period that clubs are permitted to buy, trade and sell their players. Its also an opportunity for football clubs to handle affairs of other sorts – like branding, for one. Everton Football Club recently unveiled a significant redesign to its club crest, and it did not go down well. Read the rest of this entry »

The Marco Polo Hongkong Hotel has opened the ultra-modern Cucina, which occupies the sixth-floor space once filled by North American grill Gripps (which has ceased to be) and Japanese restaurant Nishimura (which is now across the corridor from Cucina).
The new restaurant seats 250 people in a dining room that features floor-to-ceiling windows and an alfresco area that has stunning views of the harbour and Hong Kong Island. It took Super Potato, a company celebrated for its hospitality designs, two years to renovate the large space, which includes two main kitchens and six open kitchenettes that specialise in, among other things, fish, wok-fried dishes and dessert.
The Cucina team is headed by Massimo Gavina, previously of the DiVino group. South African Graeme Ritchie is in charge of the western kitchen while Au Yeung Cheung-kei (formerly of Fook Lam Moon and Yee Tung Heen at the Excelsior) is at the helm on the Chinese side. The international menu includes dishes of roast suckling pig (HK$168), steamed fresh Boston blue mussels (below right; HK$165), sauteed diced beef tenderloin with asparagus and wasabi (HK$128) and pan-fried and stir-fried Chinese-style garoupa (market price).
Cucina is at 6/F, Marco Polo Hongkong Hotel, Harbour City, Tsim Sha Tsui, tel: 2113 0808; www.cucinahk.com.

The potential therapeutic role of statins in central nervous system autoimmune disorders

3-Hydroxy-3-methyglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase inhibitors, 'statins' are widely used oral cholesterol-lowering drugs. Statins competitively inhibit HMG-CoA reductase, the enzyme that catalyzes conversion of HMG-CoA to L-mevalonate, a key intermediate in cholesterol synthesis. Certain metabolites of mevalonate are also involved in posttranslational modification of specific proteins involved in cell proliferation and differentiation. Thus, statins have important biologic effects that may be independent of their cholesterol-reducing properties. Recent studies indicate that statins have antiinflammatory and neuroprotective properties which may be beneficial in the treatment of multiple sclerosis as well as other central nervous system (CNS) neurodegenerative diseases. This article will outline current experimental evidence that may suggest potential clinical benefits for patients with CNS autoimmune disorders. Ultimately, clinical trials will have to determine the safety and efficacy of statins in this patient population.

Red Sox lineup: Dustin Pedroia scratched from series finale at Yankees with wrist injury
|04.13.14 at 6:48 pm ET
A Red Sox team that is already without two of its everyday players — right fielder Shane Victorino and third baseman Will Middlebrooks — will also be without second baseman Dustin Pedroia for the series finale against the Yankees in the Bronx. Pedroia was originally in the lineup, but when he went to hit prior to Sunday's game, persistent soreness first encountered when he got wiped out on a double play pivot against the Brewers last weekend worsened, resulting in the decision to take him out of the lineup. He'll be sent to Boston for an exam on Monday morning.
"He's had increased symptoms of soreness in his left wrist," Sox manager John Farrell told reporters in New York. "He went down to hit early today, and the soreness continues to persist and gain in intensity, so he's going to be heading back to Boston as well to get a workup first thing in the morning."
Pedroia, who was 6-for-10 in the first two games of the year, has struggled to a .156/.156/.222 line in 10 subsequent games, and 3-for-27 since the Brewers series.
"There's probably a direct correlation to what we've seen at the plate," Farrell told reporters of the relationship between Pedroia's injury and struggles. "There hasn't been an event over the past couple of days that has brought this onset even further. It's more just everyday play that the soreness increases. It's got to be checked out. Until we have some results of imaging of any kind, that's the best I can tell you."
With Pedroia out, Jonathan Herrera is at second base and batting ninth. Pedroia had been scheduled to lead off; in his absence, Grady Sizemore will do the honors.

Positive Thought of the Day
The positive thought of the day on the radio station I was listening to on my way to work this morning was Abe Lincoln's quote:
"We can complain because rose bushes have thorns, or rejoice because thorn bushes have roses."
I've always loved that quote. Sending positive thoughts to everyone. Please stay safe and weather aware if you are in an area that could be hit by the current storms. Another wave of storms is expected to pass through our area this afternoon, but we didn't have any major damage from the one's yesterday.
I tried to save a few blooms from my thorn bushes before the storms got too bad (I'm sure anyone passing by thought I was crazy out fighting the wind and rain to cut flowers, but I've been waiting all winter for these first blooms) :
Kentucky Rose,
That's Blossomtime...first bloom on a replacement I just planted a couple of weeks ago. My original made it through our hard winter with some dieback, but still had plenty of green cane. For some reason, the canes just started withering and died a couple of weeks ago along with a few others that had initially overwintered. I really love this rose, so I picked up a new one and potted up the original in case it decides to make a comeback.
Here are a couple of pics of her opening up still on the bush where you can see her darker reverse better:
