Topic: Shade Tolerant
Title: Will Salvia coccinea bloom in shade in Houston?
Answered by: Barbara Medford
QUESTION:I live in Houston and I used your database tool to search for shade plants. I am particularly interested in plants that bloom and support native pollinators. My search returned salvia coccinea. Will this plant flower in shade? One of the spots gets no direct sunlight. Can you recommend any plants that do flower in the shade?
Salvia coccinea (blood sage) is shown on our database as growing in sun (6 or more hours of sun daily), part shade (2 to 6 hours of sun) or shade (less than 2 hours of sun.) Growing and blooming are two different things. Any plant, no matter how shade tolerant, will bloom far better in some sun. The function of the flowers is to produce seeds, in order for the plant to propagate itself. If it cannot do so because of not enough sunlight, it will hardly be worth the space you have given to it. If your shade is that deep, you may have to satisfy yourself with plants like ferns that, while they do not bloom, do provide some color and texture in a shady spot. We will look in our database for plants tolerating shade, and give you some suggestions; however, we can't guarantee blooms, or at least enough blooming to attract the pollinators, who all prefer lots of flowers in an area. We suppose they are picky eaters and want a wide choice.
Shade Tolerant Herbaceous Blooming Plants for the Houston Area:
Coreopsis lanceolata (lanceleaf tickseed) - sun, part shade or shade, attracts butterflies
Lobelia cardinalis (cardinalflower) - sun, part shade or shade, nectar attracts hummingbirds, moths and insects
Phlox divaricata (wild blue phlox) - part shade or shade, flowers attract butterflies
Salvia coccinea (blood sage) - sun, part shade or shade, nectar attracts hummingbirds, bees and butterflies
Shade Tolerant Shrubs for the Houston Area:
Hydrangea quercifolia (oakleaf hydrangea) - shade, but no attraction for wildlife
Malvaviscus arboreus var. drummondii (wax mallow) - part shade or shade, nectar attracts hummingbirds, moths and insects, fruit attracts birds and small mammals
Shade Tolerant Ferns for the Houston Area:
Athyrium filix-femina (common ladyfern)
Osmunda cinnamomea (cinnamon fern)

A life beyond the drum kit
Louis XIV's Mark Maigaard launches a new organization that mixes bands with nonprofits
Q: For those who do not know, please name all the bands for which you've played.
A: First it was Dishwater, though I'll be surprised if anyone remembers it! Next I was in Convoy for several years, then myself, and the guitarists, Brian Karscig and Jason Hill, moved on to do Louis XIV. Most recently I've been playing for fun in a band called Midnight Rivals.
Q: What was the best part about being in a commercially successful band?
A: Definitely getting to do some amazing worldwide tours. I got to play drums almost every night, which is one of my favorite things to do. Not many people get paid to do their favorite thing, so was that a very unique opportunity.
Q: What was the worst?
A: Probably backlash when it did occur. Unfortunately, when you become successful, there will always be a few people that call you sellouts, but our goal was just to make a living and keep doing what we loved, which was making music. Also, hanging out in airports gets old quickly.
Q: Your company makes exclusive band T-shirts: Do you have a favorite band or concert T-shirt?
A: The ones I wear the most are a Death Ray Davies T-shirt and a Rocket From the Crypt hoodie.
Q: What is something people would be surprised to find out about you?
A: Believe it or not, I left college to pursue Louis XIV and went back last year and finished my degree — SDSU alum right here!
Q: What are some of your favorite local bars?
A: Outside of where I work, I love grabbing a beer at The Whistle Stop and Hamilton's for a casual evening. But if I'm going out for dinner too, it's definitely Starlite.

Great looking chairs, but a bit rocky
Ellen from League City, TX– Verified Buyer
Love the look and comfort of these chairs! The finish is a dark cherry color, more brown than red which works fine with my kitchen cabinet finish. My rating is 4 stars for style, but would be 3 stars for quality of construction. Both chairs rock a bit, one is worse than the other with one leg about 1/2" shorter than the other 3 legs. The chairs are light-weight; easy for children to move about.
Gorgeous Chairs!
Army Girl from Sierra Vista, AZ– Verified Buyer
This chair is really nice. It is a deep, dark wood that matches the other furniture in my home. The microsuede on the chair is great quality. The chairs are really comfortable; I find that I spend hours doing work now at the counter, and never once do I need to reposition myself.
Quality but very dark.
Jill from Lawrenceville, GA– Verified Buyer
I purchased these chairs to match an existing expresso set. I've had to retask them to my kitchen bar as they are so dark they appear black next to my other furniture. Good quality and easy to assemble.
Nice looking stool, great price.
S from PA– Verified Buyer
These stools look great. Very good quality and sturdy. Look more expensive than they are. Very easy to assemble; it took about an hour. I would note that the cloth on the seat is darker than it appears in the pictures. The description describes it as "mocha" which is pretty accurate.
Jeanne from Glenside, PA– Verified Buyer
Very nice. Looks perfect in my new kitchen which is on the small side. Wish the chair s were a little wider. But overal nice and easy to assemble
Very nice looking for price
Luisa from Croton Falls, NY– Verified Buyer
Happy with how they look. Not the best made and bit hard to put together..one broke a bit when husband put together. But they are pretty and withstand stains of kids pretty well. Overall I am happy.
Look great but not real comfortable
Douglas Thomas from Bloomington, IL– Verified Buyer
These chairs look great, the finish is nice, the chair seems very sturdy but the seat pad isnt real comfortable. I wouldnt want to sit in these for a long period of time.
great price
jane goodale from kenosha, wi– Verified Buyer
matched the rest of my dining set perfectly and the price was really resonable. [...] i would recommand it in the future
Love them!
aquablue94 from Indianapolis, IN
I would like to have been able to order these with swivel seats, but I like them better than the barstools I had before.
Excellent value
Debra from Palm Coast, FL– Verified Buyer
Looks exactly as pictured and easy to assemble.

Canada's Alexandre Bilodeau makes retirement official
Mar 21, 2014, 9:16 AM EDT
Alexandre Bilodeau, the first freestyle skier to win multiple Olympic gold medals, will ski competitively for the last time on Friday.
The Canadian Freesyle Ski Association confirmed Bilodeau's statements from during and before the Sochi Olympics that he will retire after this World Cup season, which ends in La Plagne, France, on Friday, according to the Canadian Press.
Bilodeau, 26, has said it's been his plan since 2010 to retire after the 2013-14 season.
He exits as one of Canada's greatest Olympians. He won the nation's first gold at a Canada-hosted Olympics at Vancouver 2010, after Canadians were shut out of golds at Montreal 1976 and Calgary 1988.
Bilodeau successfully defended his title in Sochi, relegating countryman and two-time reigning World Cup champion Mikael Kingsbury to silver last month. Bilodeau is 31 World Cup points behind Kingsbury for this year's title going into the final event.
Bilodeau has said he wants to focus on his accounting career once finished with skiing.
Other great Canadian Olympians include four-time gold medalist hockey players Hayley Wickenheiser, Jayna Hefford and Caroline Ouellette, speed skaters Cindy Klassen and Clara Hughes (six medals each, though two of Hughes' were in cycling) and short track speed skaters Marc Gagnon (five medals) and Charles Hamelin (four medals).
Perhaps the most notable Canadian Summer Olympian is Donovan Bailey, who won double gold in 1996 in the 100m and 4x100m relay.

Friday September 27, 1996
Judging from the crime scene, what we have here is a double case of arrested development.
Gabriela (Angela Jones), the heroine of Reb Braddock's freely hemorrhaging "Curdled," has a thing about murder. She's not a "freak," we're told frequently. But just the thought of mass murder, serial killing and untidy dismemberment make her feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
She's felt this way since her childhood in Colombia and, fortunately, now lives in Miami, where she can go to work for a firm that specializes in cleaning up murder scenes, and thereby indulge her fetish.
Which, if I'm not mistaken, is what the filmmaker's are about as well. Braddock and co-writer John Maass--with the able assistance of executive producer Quentin Tarantino--have created a story in which they get to revel in bloodshed, slopping it about until we can virtually feel the texture of whatever syrup they're using. Strawberry? That we have time to wonder says something about the rest of the story.
There's a mass murderer afoot among the moneyed of Miami, one who preys on older, richer women and then stabs them multiple times before lopping off their heads with a samurai sword. Played by William Baldwin, this cutlery-happy fellow likes to watch his ventilated victims crawl across the floor, and through their own gore, before administering his coup de gra^ce. The filmmakers seem to like it, too. In fact, they seem, well, obsessed.
"Curdled" starts out all right, with Joseph Julian Gonzalez's hot music percolating, the quite plausible streets of 1977 Colombia steaming and a gunshot and a body falling out a window. People immediately crowd around it. I don't know about you, but I think if I heard shots fired, my impulse wouldn't be to run toward the gunfire. But they do, and then they run down the street, as if to chase the assailant, who by all indications is still upstairs.
Like the movie, these people know no fear, or logic either. Take Baldwin's wide-roaming killer Paul Guell (ghoul?): Would a bartender cutting up members of such a small circle of people not be the first suspect? This is a comedy, ostensibly. "That's about the sickest thing I've ever seen" Paul says, after surreptitiously watching Gabriela do a dance of death around his latest victim's taped outline. Little else is either funny or easy to stomach. It has a frat house sensibility, a Showdown at the Gross-Out Corral kind of attitude that will probably leave you cold. Or very, very excited.
Curdled, 1996. R, for violence and gore, and for brief language. A Band Apart and Tinderbox Films production, released by Miramax. Director Reb Braddock. Producers John Maass, Raul Puig. Screenplay Maass, Braddock. Cinematographer Steven Bernstein. Editor Mallory Gottlieb. Costumes Beverly Nelson Safier. Music Joseph Julian Gonzalez. Production design Sherman Williams. Running time: 1 hour, 35 minutes. Angela Jones as Gabriela. William Baldwin as Paul Guell. Bruce Ramsay as Eduardo. Lois Chiles as Katrina Brandt.Copyright © 2015, Los Angeles Times

Mozilla Planning Imminent Fennec Release
There's no doubting that Firefox is a heavyweight among Open Source applications, or that innovation has been its strong suit. What has been doubted, however, is when it will finally light up the mobile world.
That doubt can be put to rest, it would seem. According to the BBC, Mozilla's Jay Sullivan has announced that Fennec — Firefox's mobile incarnation — is at the starting gate and could be in the hands of users before the ball drops. The release, a year and a half in the making, will only be available to those with a Nokia N900 for the moment, though Android and Windows Mobile versions are in the works. iPhone owners won't be so lucky — Apple's stranglehold on the device's applications means no Fennec, at least for now.
A number of features will be available, including the obligatory tabbed browsing, as well as the Awesome Bar, one-touch bookmarking, and a variety of zoom/scroll/navigational options. One feature of note is the ability to sync Fennec with its big brother — users will have the ability to pass what is open on their desktop to their mobile. Extension support will also be available, though according to Sullivan, the difference between mobile phones and desktop systems means they will take on their own flavor.
Though a specific date was not given, Sullivan told the BBC that as long as no "show stoppers" — usually referred to as "blockers" — were found, the release would be out before the year is.
Justin Ryan is a Contributing Editor for Linux Journal.
Maemo does it now
The Maemo platform that runs on the Nokia Nxx0 already has Fennec with Weave support - you still need a regular browser to set it set-up first. I like that you can run your own weave server to sync with.
Um, what about the most popular smart phone on the market besides iPhone? - the blackberry. It isn't getting shafted by another application is it?
It seems to be going downhill
I'm glad Firefox is catching up with mobile, but it's a dog on Linux and there are a lot of flash player problems with multiple tabs. I also wish they'd work on existing problems as well.
OSS' Nature
That's the nature of Open Source: always forge ahead, always add more and more features. Rarely will you find someone who prefers fixing bugs in existing open source code.
How bizarre. I guess you
How bizarre. I guess you don't use open source. I get thousands of bug fixes a month whereas with proprietary it takes 6 months or a year to fix a single bug. Methinks you know not of what you speak, but don't let that stop you spouting ignorant rubbish.

Hanging into brick ?
I want to hang a large mirror over my fireplace. I have French cleats rated up to 200lbs. I think I am using one on each side of the mirror bc the mirror is wide (71 inches). The mirror is heavy, maybe 70lbs. I can lift it (and I'm kind of a weakling) but it is heavy. I figure the 200 lb cleat rating is over kill. I'm fine with that ;-)
I've been reading the best way to do this but I'm getting conflicting info. If I use an anchor does it go into the brick or the mortar? I'm worried the mortar would crumble but it seems around here people suggest that over the brick. And is an anchor the best way to go about this?
I'm PROBABLY going to hire out because I don't want to screw this up but I do want to know the proper way to do this before someone comes to my house.
I see lots of photos with tvs and mirrors hung on brick. Is this a bad idea structural wise? No earth quakes near me but I don't want it to fall-ever.
Thanks in advance.
Ok - the mirror is 70 lbs / 2 hangers - that's only 35 lbs a hanger.
If the mortar is solid it really doesn't matter if it's in the brick or mortar.
I think plastic screw anchors would be enough. You can go to any big box store and see the load rating on the boxes of anchors.
There is no structural problem with hanging something like this on a brick wall.
Thank you. I don't have a hammer drill. Is it something I can do with a regular drill? I bought the Tap Con masonry fasteners today. I had read recommendations for them on previous GW threads. They came with a bit. Should I invest in a hammer drill? Will my regular drill work? I'm back to thinking I might tackle this myself. If I need to buy a hammer drill, I probably can hire a handy man instead for a similar price.....but then I wouldn't own a hammer drill. Decisions decisions.
Thanks everyone. Hung it today. Did it myself. I used my drill, into the brick. The anchor just felt more secure in the brick. When my husband came home and was helping me lift it, he asked me if I used his hammer drill. Apparently we own one. I wish I knew that this morning! My arms are still sore from drilling. For anyone reading this in the future, if you have a hammer drill it will be a heck of a lot easier. It's doable otherwise but a pain in the butt!

The constant turnover of students at colleges and universities presents an ongoing challenge to campus bus operators to create awareness of their services among potential riders.
A report by the Transit Cooperative Research Program called Transit Systems in College and University Communities found that more than 9 of 10 schools (92 percent) advertise their transportation program during orientation events for new students (see chart).
In addition, more than four-fifths advertise their bus program through brochures and/or on the school's website. About three of five schools (59 percent) promote bus services to non-students — faculty and staff — using employee orientation materials.
The survey included responses from more than 40 colleges and universities, some of which use transportation management associations (TMAs), multi-institution task forces that coordinate and adminster transportation demand management programs. It was discovered, however, that TMAs were the least common transit advertising technique.
More than four of five campuses (83 percent) reported posting transit system maps or schedules on their websites. Slightly more than one in 10 (11 percent) use bus wraps to help advertise the school's bus program.
Students at the university's "Startup Shell," a collaborative space and technology incubator, may compete in business competitions for potential investor grants from Uber. The partnership will also include mentoring opportunities and the creation of an "innovation council," which will include students, faculty and staff, for crowdsourcing and development.
Matt Carpenter has more than 15 years of experience in the transit industry, including the past eight as CEO of Strathcona County Transit in the Edmonton area. He has a master's degree in urban planning from the University of Michigan, where he studied from 2001 to 2003.
Executive Order 8 addresses Illinois' fiscal crisis by recommending that state agencies require employees, whenever possible, to take public transportation or carpool when traveling. The state hopes this action will reduce travel reimbursements in gas money.
The university recently issued an RFQ and is evaluating potential locations. Four of its new buses are powered by CNG, and the school says it sees a benefit to converting more of its vehicles to alternative fuels.
In his new role, Jerry Rineer works with Villanova students who have mobility issues, providing support for them as they make their way across the 254-acre campus. The private university, which has a total enrollment of about 10,700, has a large fleet of vans and other vehicles to serve its students.

The Passenger Vessel Association (PVA) & the U.S. Coast Guard sign policy agreement regarding Coast Guard approval of fire protection for newly constructed high-speed vessels.
This agreement is critical to the U.S. shipbuilding industry to ensure delivery of Coast Guard-approved high-speed passenger vessels.
The product of a chartered working group of experienced PVA member industry experts and Coast Guard policy specialists, the agreement details guidelines for pre-approved design criteria including seating arrangements and space dimensions. This solution allows boat builders to meet the standards of fire safety while facilitating the building of lightweight high-speed aluminum vessels, currently in strong demand.
"This agreement ensures high fire protection standards for the safety of passengers and vessels but also provides a pathway for vessel designers, builders, and owners to obtain Coast Guard approval of their building plans," said 2012 PVA President Paul Belforti. "It returns confidence to the market in that vessels of this type can now be constructed cost effectively."
The revisions to Coast Guard Navigation and Vessel Inspection Circular (NVIC) 9-97-1 were produced utilizing research advances in fire modeling from the designs of working vessels to most accurately test dimensions and configurations with performance-based engineering analysis.

Asthma and allergies
2000 edition of book featured on this webpage
Pg 5-6
Jeremy Christopher was eight years old when I first heard about his asthma
problem in 1995. He is the son of Dr. Cheryl Brown-Christopher, a medical
doctor. Jeremy had suffered from severe allergies and asthma for three to
four years. By the end of March 1995, he had developed extreme discomfort
from a severely congested upper respiratory tract. He was constantly
coughing as a complication of his asthma, and he had severe shortness of
breath. He was on two different medications (Benadryl and Albuterol inhaler
-- Figure 9), which caused drowsiness. They made him uncommunicative and
withdrawn from group activity in class. As a result, his school grades
were poor.
Dr. Brown-Christopher obtained the book, Your Body's Many Cries for Water,
and, after reading its chapter on allergies and asthma, she contacted me to
discuss her son's problem. We came to the conclusion that Jeremy should
stop the intake of all manufactured beverages and substitute them with
about six to eight cups of plain water a day. He should drink two cups of
water [one half hour] before each meal and before exercise. He should also
consume on half teaspoon of [sea] salt a day [just put it on food or take a
lick to offset its loss in the increased urine produced by the added 10
full cups of water. This is a rough ratio of water and salt intake per day
-- a half teaspoon of salt for every 10 cups of water. Salt intake is
critical for asthma prevention.
The result in Dr. Brown-Christopher's own works: " Within three to fourr
days he showed dramatic improvement; he no longer had severe and excessive
mucus production, his coughing had virtually stopped, and his sneezing and
other allergy symptoms were totally gone . . . Therefore we discontinued
his Benadryl and Albuterol and continued his hydration ... Not only have
his symptoms cleared subjectively, but in terms of objective finding, his
peak flow volumes have been with normal range (this means the lungs are
aerated normally ).... His constant medicatgion-induced drowsiness has
disappeared and as a result he is more alert, and his school grades have
improved." Jer
The interview begins at
Here is little bit of it. Formatting a bit haywire -- oh, well. It goes on
for several short pages.
Oh, my gosh. This is such a simple answer. How did you discover that water
was the answer, the universal solution?
I discovered it in a peculiar situation. One late night I was called to see
someone who was doubled up in agony of peptic ulcer disease. He had no
medication and wanted some from me. I didnt have any so I just gave him two
glasses of water and within three minutes his pain diminished and within
eight minutes it disappeared completely.
Just from two glasses of water?
Yes. Thats all it takes, two or three glasses of water will remove any
severe pain.
Should it be warm water?
No, ordinary tap water will do. Any water will do. What I gave him was a
little more than one pint of water. I virtually gave him two glasses of water.
Youre supposed to drink, what is it, half your weight?
There is a formula, but basically you need about two quarts of water as a
minimum because you produce about a quart and a half of urine a day under
ideal circumstances when youre getting rid of your toxic waste. Youre
losing about a quart of water in breathing. Every time you breathe out you
lose water. You know the winter steam in front of your nose?
Thats water thats leaving your body every time you breathe out. When you
have wet clothing and you hang them out to dry, if there is wind they dry
very quickly. Now imagine the lung tissue being confronted with the wind of
breathing in and out. It dries up very quickly unless there is water from
the base to replace that water. Under these circumstances, if you dont
drink enough water, the lung is going to become dry. The tiny membranes
that normally pick up oxygen and give up carbon dioxide, very delicate
membranes, would quickly become brittle unless water gets to them. The only
alternative is to shut down the breathing process so that the lung tissue
doesnt dry up. This process of shutting down the breathing process they
call asthma.
Now, give an asthmatic water and let it circulate and reach the lungs from
its circulation and you can try to dry it as much as you want, but it wont
get dry because youre constantly replacing the water. That is why water is
the best asthma medication there is.
Weve heard people throughout the years have all kinds of homeopathic cures,
but no one ever said water was the answer.
Im a research scientist. Ive researched dehydration at the molecular level
for the past 20 years. Ive presented my findings at more conferences,
international conferences and published in major journals. When I
discovered that the solution to most of the pain and disease conditions of
our society is not a money-maker so no one is interested in it, then I
decided to go public and take my information to the public. Thats why Ive
written my book.

Twitter users can now add products to their Amazon shopping carts by replying to tweets with Amazon links with the hashtag #AmazonCart.
Online retailer Amazon has revealed #AmazonCart, a feature that allows you to add items to your Amazon shopping cart via Twitter.
In order to use the functionality, consumers must link their Twitter and Amazon accounts by editing their Amazon social settings. Then, when consumers see tweets containing Amazon product links with goods they would like to purchase, they can reply to the tweets with the hashtag #AmazonCart to save those items to their carts to purchase later.
As has always been the case, customers can review or edit their carts at any time on Amazon.com, but they will now also receive reply tweets from @MyAmazon describing the status of their #AmazonCart requests. That includes whether the item was successfully added to a cart, whether the item is out of stock, or how customers can finish checking out later, Amazon says.
Amazon also notes most content on Twitter is public, so #AmazonCart replies will be visible to whomever a Twitter user replied to, as well as to those viewing the conversation or the user's timeline unless the Twitter account is set to private.

Who's in Charge Here?
Read Judges 17:1 through 18:31; Luke 4:31 through 5:11
The teenage girl had invited several friends to a party at her house while her parents were out of town. The night started out smoothly, but, within a couple of hours, her friends—and several uninvited guests—became unruly and the house became strewn with trash and broken items as the teenagers did whatever they wanted. The girl had to call the police to come and restore order.
In those days Israel had no king; everyone did as they saw fit (Judges 17:6).
Israel knew the consequences of not having a king or any authority figure. The people sinned greatly against God, and everyone acted in their own selfish interests. How terrifying it must have been to live in such a society! Only when people have rules and authority to guide their lives can they enjoy peace and real freedom.
Those who ignore the teachings and instructions of God's Word and seek to do what they want to do instead will not have peace. God is King, and everyone must bow and submit to His authority to have a joyous and abundant life.
Prayer Suggestion: Heavenly Father, have complete control of my life.

|NARCAP staff do participate in media offerings like television, radio, podcasts, etc. NARCAP participation is
dependant on how seriously the production company is taking the subject. NARCAP reports and studies are
not entertainment. They represent years of work by dedicated researchers at their own expense in time and

to protect them and the flying public.
Please do not contact NARCAP to gain participation in programs that engage in speculation regarding
extraterrestrial visitation and/or UFO as alien spacecraft. We do not know what UAP are and do not support
any claim regarding incursions into the Earth domain by nonhuman intelligences. Some cases are provocative
in this regard but there are many cases that may represent poorly documented natural phenomena and a lot
more work has to be done to sort through the data. The principle interest of NARCAP.org, at this time, is in
safety factors.
Pilots rely on NARCAP to maintain confidentiality and to make it clear to the world that UAP encounters are
not entertainment. NARCAP focus remains upon documenting phenomena that cause safety-related
incidents. Science is taking a much closer look at UAP in general and the safety ramifications arising from
aviation encounters with them, specifically, and we hope our work will be a helpful contribution to that inquiry.

A 30-year career in information technology has taught DOE's CIO valuable lessons
DOE security upgrades could better protect data
A career man
Tom Pyke was no neophyte when he became the Energy Department's chief information officer in November 2005, and his experience — more than 30 years' worth — propelled him to a fast start.
Pyke left the Commerce Department to become DOE's CIO. When he arrived, he immediately began implementing a security upgrade plan, visiting the department's far-flung national laboratories, and meeting with individuals and groups whose information technology talents are essential to DOE.
The CIO's job is to help an organization make the best use of IT to advance its mission, he said. "The mission is exciting."
Pyke centers his leadership style on the people who work for him. He looks for ways to inspire and motivate them to give their best efforts. Every organization has unique group dynamics, he said, and part of a leader's duty is to understand those dynamics.
"The challenge here has been to find just the right touch," he said.
Pyke started his government work early, just out of high school. He took a summer job writing a computer manual for the National Bureau of Standards, which is now the National Institute of Standards and Technology. After earning a degree in electrical engineering, he returned to the government. Pyke was the first CIO at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration before moving to Commerce's headquarters as CIO.
"When I started, I didn't intend to stay in the government long term," he said. "I found the experience was very fulfilling. Every step of my career, I feel I'm doing something worthwhile."
Pyke's first mentor was his father, an electrical engineer who served in the Air Force and then in civil service.
"He was a patriot, and I'm a patriot," Pyke said. "From my dad, I learned to appreciate the value of hard work."
Pyke met another significant mentor when he was working at the National Bureau of Standards, where he was director of the Center for Computer Systems Engineering and later director of the Center for Programming Science and Technology.
At the programming center, Pyke worked with Ruth Davis. He said Davis passed on to him the value of balancing calm flexibility and forcefulness, to go with the flow when possible and speak up strongly when needed, he said.
Pyke said he has also learned management techniques from DOE Secretary Samuel Bodman. The two worked together at Commerce when Bodman was the department's deputy secretary.
"He helped me appreciate ways of working with people" and to take full advantage of the expertise available on staff, Pyke said.
Alan Balutis, director of North American Public Sector Consulting at Cisco Systems' Internet Business Solutions Group, worked with Pyke when Balutis was Commerce's deputy CIO.
"He's got a first-rate mind, he's an extremely bright guy," Balutis said. "He's very optimistic and upbeat. It was a real loss to the department to have him go after all these years, but you can tell in the new position he's really having a great time."
Pyke likes to share his passion for science and technology. He was director of a program called Global Learning and Observations to Benefit the Environment. In that role, he led an interagency team in creating an environmental science and education program that reaches children in 109 countries.
"I've had a lot of different experiences," he said.
Getting to know DOE's employees has occupied much of his time as the department's new CIO. Commerce was a large agency, but DOE is much larger, he said.
"Most of our people are out in the field," many at the labs, he said. Traveling to meet employees is important, he added. "You learn what's really happening."
Pyke said he brings a strong sense of the agency's mission to his role. He said he believes IT is a means to an end and not an end itself. If IT doesn't improve an agency's ability to pursue its mission, it is not serving its purpose, he said.
"I look at IT as being a bunch of us in competition for the best supporting actor award," he said.
Work history: Pyke began his government career at the National Bureau of Standards, now the National Institute of Standards and Technology, where he served as director of the Center for Computer Systems Engineering and later as director of the Center for Programming Science and Technology. He became the first CIO at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and later moved to the Commerce Department headquarters to become CIO.
Education: He has a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering from the Carnegie Institute of Technology, which is part of Carnegie Mellon University. He earned a master's degree in engineering from the University of Pennsylvania.
Recommended reading: "The World Is Flat" by Thomas Friedman.
Family: He has two sons; one is a climate researcher at the Environmental Protection Agency and the other is a law student at the University of Virginia. He also has a granddaughter.
Lesson learned: Pyke's father, an electrical engineer, was a lifelong government employee, first in the Air Force, then in the civil service. "From my dad, I learned to appreciate the value of hard work," Pyke said.

Tulips and daffodils take over my front yard (pics)
I have been waiting for the early tulips in the front yard that are planted in front of the daffodil display to get into gear blooming. Finially got some good pictures. The daffs have put out the spring show and now with the tulips, it just has so much color.
The left side of my front yard.
Front view.
Here you can see that I have daylilies planted in front.
Another view.
And my favorite view of the tulip section.
The tuliups and daffs in the pictures are all newly planted last fall. I am planning on them coming back LOL! I plant zinnias later for summer color.
Rita, simply beautiful! So bright and colorful. Must make you smile every time you see it.
I have been considering adding spring bulbs to some of my gardens, but I hesitate because I hate the look of the dying foliage. Do you plan to leave the foliage as recommended? Or will your daylilies cover it as they grow?
We have have many rainey days here but lots of sunny ones also :-))
What I do is snap off the seed head part of the stalk on the daffs every few days and or cut (at the very top) off the dying spent flowers. In that mixed daff collection pictured wave after wave of flowers opens. As some finish, others start. So deadheading keeps the mixture looking good even now and they started weeks and weeks ago. In fact they started the very, very beginning of April.
Here is how they look now with the last wave flowering and I have cut off all the spent blooms leaving the flower stalk.
Here you can see the daylily folliage running in front of the tulips. It should make the tulip folliage much less noticable. Again, as soon as the tulips drop their flower pedals, I will snap off the very top of the stem which has the seed head.
I just leave folliage, don't much worry about it. I find it's gone on it's own soon enough and there is always something else going on in the garden to look at.
In the two belgium block mini terraces running accross which is were the daffs are, I plan to plant zinnias for summer long color. I will use seedlings and just plant them between the daffodil folliage. I am sure there will be some lang time there between when the daff flowers are all gone and I get my zinnia seedlings in. I haven't even startted the seeds yet as it has been too cold. But I have been growing zinnias in that front section for the past two years. This was before I put in the belgium block mini terraces late last summer. That then allowed me to plant the area in bulbs last fall as planned.
