Program Evaluation:
An Evaluation Culture and Collaborative Partnerships Help Build Agency Capacity
GAO-03-454: Published: May 2, 2003. Publicly Released: May 2, 2003.

Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Agencies are increasingly asked to demonstrate results, but many programs lack credible performance information and the capacity to rigorously evaluate program results. To assist agency efforts to provide credible information, GAO examined the experiences of five agencies that demonstrated evaluation capacity in their performance reports: the Administration for Children and Families (ACF), the Coast Guard, the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), and the National Science Foundation (NSF).
In the five agencies GAO reviewed, the key elements of evaluation capacity were an evaluation culture--a commitment to self-examination, data quality, analytic expertise, and collaborative partnerships. ACF, NHTSA, and NSF initiated evaluations regularly, through a formal process, while HUD and the Coast Guard conducted them as specific questions arose. Access to credible, reliable, and consistent data was critical to ensure findings were trustworthy. These agencies needed access to expertise in both research methods and subject matter to produce rigorous and objective assessments. Collaborative partnerships leveraged resources and expertise. ACF, HUD, and NHTSA primarily partnered with state and local agencies; the Coast Guard partnered primarily with federal agencies and the private sector. The five agencies used various strategies to develop and improve evaluation: Commitment to learning from evaluation developed to support policy debates and demands for accountability. Some agencies improved administrative systems to improve data quality. Others turned to specialized data collection. All five agencies typically contracted with experts for specialized analyses. Some agencies provided their state partners with technical assistance. These five agencies used creative strategies to leverage resources and obtain useful evaluations. Other agencies could adopt these strategies--with leadership commitment--to develop evaluation capacity, despite possible impediments: constraints on spending, local control over flexible programs, and restrictions on federal information collection. The agencies agreed with our descriptions of their programs and evaluations.

A study like this clearly has to grossly simplify the real-world situation. In reality, the cost of shopping varies greatly depending on whether one drives around town, wanders around a mall, or uses an on-line price comparison search. The reputation of the retailer is also a big factor, and people will pay more in order to buy from either a nearby physical store or a reputable on-line company, since the cost of dealing with problems is significant.
The most interesting outcome of the study is that marketing gimmicks, especially the sort that are very cleverly contrived to deceive customers, don't really increase sales. One of the greatest innovations since the bait-and-switch was Priceline's patented blind auction format. Some very clever people built an entire company around the idea of getting customers to commit to buying a seat on a plane or a room in a hotel without knowing exactly which airline or hotel they were buying it from. The advantage to the buyer was an allegedly lower price. The advantage to the seller was presumably that they could compete strictly on price, regardless of their reputation or level of quality. Most companies would rather not be in a commodity business, but apparently enough airlines and hotels liked the idea. Now that the experiment has run its course, and the concept of a "business model" patent has been thoroughly litigated, the conclusion is that customers would rather know what airline they're flying on and which hotel they're staying in BEFORE they pay for it. Perhaps Priceline could have tried their idea on a group of college students first.
I find it highly problematic that this studies are almost always performed with college students. What group is more rife with spendthrifts than students? Who is more foolish with their money? I am sure that if you ran the same experiment with middle class mothers of three your results would be far different.
There is also the subconscious element of wanting to 'reward' the shop with low prices and 'punish' the shop with higher prices. I think this is how we often justify driving across down to go to a sale even when it is not in our best interests.
I wrote about this on my blog:
This study definitely is an oversimplification but we have to start somewhere small with such experiments. Not seeing the methodology and report we can only speculate the reliability and validity of the findings.
I have two questions:
1) The article states "Sales volumes were virtually the same whichever way prices were presented. The main effect was on the distribution of sales." Was there an option for the shoppers to get a cash payout instead or have I missed something?
If the only option is to spend, it would be irrational to hold virtual money.
2) If this simulation was repeated over-and-over again would the results change once the participants became familiar with the "Computer Game" environment?

Auxes, Busses and Sends, Oh my!
In another lifetime I was doing tech support for a company that made hardware interfaces for recording software. I quickly learned on the job that I wasn't really tech supporting our products, but rather I was explaining the Windows OS a lot or some other company's DAW.
It was in the conversations with folks on how to get their DAW to point to our drivers that the folks would take advantage of the situation. "Hey, man while I got you here", they'd start. And, this is never a comforting lead-in for a tech support person, by the way. A couple of these conversations led to, "can you tell me what an aux is and what a send is?" It made me pause in my tracks and realize that if you've never sat in front of a mixer and dealt with the hardware world – how would you know what to make of these things in the software world?
Don't get me wrong. I had the hardest time with the concept of "send/return" on my first mixer. The first band I was in had a very patient musician (friend) that tried to get this into my thick head for some time. I understand how hard the concepts of inserts, sends, busses and auxes can be. Let's dumb them down to their simplest meanings. This is really made necessary by my limited capacities. So, humor me.
Effect Families
Before we move on to the boring (errr riveting) topics at hand let's talk about "effect families" so that we're all on the same page. More times than not, effects fit into 1 of 3 families: gain-oriented, time-oriented and modulation-oriented effects. Gain effects are those that can add gain such as filters, eq, compression, limiting, distortions, tape emulations and some that come with the clever name of "gain." Time effects are those that play with time such as delays and reverbs. Modulation effects are the fun ones like chorus, phaser, tremolo, rotary and flanger. But, seriously, who uses flangers anyway?!?! I mean, in the last twenty years, who uses it? There are pitch-oriented effects, utility effects, but for our purposes – let's stick to these three families. And, let's never speak of flangers again.
An insert is something that you (wait for it) insert into your signal path. All of audio is about a "signal path" – where is that sound going to or coming from?
If you think of audio as water, most times, it's makes it easier in your mind to think through. All of what we are discussing is plumbing. Inserts are interesting because it gives you the ability to effect 100% of the audio on a channel with something. Since it is going to effect 100% of the signal (let's say this is a vocal track) we should be careful about what kind of effects are on inserts. 9 times out of 10 – this is a gain-oriented device or effect. Why? Because what is the use of 50% of the vocal being compressed or de-essed? What is the use of eqing 25% of the vocal? You intend to eq the vocal – so 100% it is. Same goes for you auto-tuners out there – insert it.
Busses and Auxes are similar. But, we use the term "bus" a few different ways in recording. All in all though, when we bus, you can just think of it as the name implies. We put some sound on the bus and send it off. Bussing, in recording world, can mean routing (like a bus route) or, often, it means to sum together several sources into one spot. This is where the aux comes in.An aux is an auxiliary channel ( an extra channel) on the mixer that a bunch of channels can be bussed to. So, you can bus your sound to the aux channel.
Side note A: "Bus" is a verb and a noun. You can bus (divert) audio to a bus (auxiliary channel). I like to "bus to an aux" so that my little, little mind can keep track of these concepts.
Side note B: to clear your head on "tracks" and "channels" think of that reel to reel machine and a real mixer. Tracks are on the tape (or hard drive) and channels are on the mixer.
Often times when someone talks about a bus, they mean a sub group of channels that gets combined so you have one fader that control all of them. This makes it easier in your head to keep track of everything. Let's say we have 10 channels of drums, 4 guitar channels, 4 of vocals and 3 of synths. To make everything easier, you could make bus/aux 1 for drums, bus/aux 2 for guitars, bus/aux 3 for vocals and bus/aux 4 for synths. Now, we are down to just 4 faders controlling the mix after you've got every channel about where you want them in your mix. Plus, we can use just one eq and compressor for all of our drums. We'd insert an eq and compressor on bus 2. In your DAW, you make sure you have 4 busses or aux channels (depending on what your DAW calls them) and set your individual channel outputs to the appropriate bus. After you've done your 21 channels of tweaking, you can then get down to thinking of them as four groups of sounds and not constantly bounce around amongst 21 individual channels. Then you are down to, "hey, the drums need to be louder than the guitars", and this makes life easier.
Sends are cool. Sends were the ones in school that got good grades and, yet, instigated a shaving cream fight. With sends, you can divert off some of your signal to go do something else.
So, in plumbing terms you've just created a y-joint, but with valves to control how much gets sent away from the main pipe. This is where we get time and modulation effects involved. We are going to put a reverb, say, on an aux channel. We insert the reverb on an aux channel, say, to sit and wait for someone to get bussed over. Make sense? So, on my vocal track that needs a little fairy dusting, I tell my send that it is going on "Bus 6." Then, with the send knob I choose how much of this channel I wish to bleed over to where that reverb is sitting. The input on this Aux channel that I labeled "reverb" is going to be set to "Bus 6."
This is the beauty of the send – we "send" some of the audio over on a bus to an aux channel. Why some? Because, again, this is a time when you may mean to only put 25% of the vocal track into a reverb and not 100% of it. This is how we retain a present vocal sound and still have it sound like it is in a cathedral at the same time. Secrets of the pros, my friends; secrets of the pros.
This is also how we squeeze more out of our CPU. Any time I want to use some reverb I simply tell a send on any channel to go out on Bus 6 and I get to share one reverb amongst several tracks. If you inserted a reverb on 12 channels that needed some reverb, you'll hit the wall faster than if 12 channels shared that same reverb.
Side note C: I'm not going to bother with what "returns" are as we are only dealing with DAWs here and not analog mixers.
Quick review:
- We insert an effect on our channel or aux channel.
- We bus some audio (with a send) to an aux if we want to effect our channel.
- OR – we bus 100% of a channel's output (no "send") to an aux to act as a fader for a group of channels.
- On individual channels, time and modulation tracks are usually "sent" to and gain effects are inserted.
Channels, Auxes and Master Channels
Now the only thing to keep track of (to keep yourself out of trouble) is to think about where everything is going. Not, "well, in this economy and given the government's inability to react quickly to market forces", type of 'where we are going'. I mean you need to think about where your audio is coming from and going to. Again, all of this is plumbing. It's easy to see how this is plumbing when you connect cables on your stereo system (do people still have those?) where you do "audio out" to "audio in." Rather, in a DAW, you need to pay attention to each channel's in and out part of the channel strip.
If you need to set up a group or bus like we do with 10 channels of drums (from hats, toms, overheads, etc) then you set each of these outputs to the same bus (call it Bus 2). Ah! But, make sure to go over to that aux channel and set it's input to that same bus – Bus 2.
What you've done when you told the output of your hi-hat channel to be Bus 2 is that it is no longer going right to the master output. So how does it get to the master output, you ask? Why, Bus 2's output is….(drum roll please)…Master Out, 1-2 (whatever your DAW calls it).
If you pay attention to what the input is on your channel, you'll hear sound coming into that channel. If you mind where that output for the channel is going, you'll know if it went to an aux channel or the master channel. If you need to get your guitar sound into some reverb, go tell that send where it is going.
If your head is still spinning, I am sorry. The way all of this is made easiest to understand is if you were forced at gunpoint to hook this stuff up in an analog setting. This is where you'd actually see the cables (pipes in our metaphor) taking sounds in and out – to and fro. But, I'll tell you; it's only at gunpoint that I would ever go back to that world.

Todt wants licences for team bosses
|By Michele Lostia and Jonathan Noble
|Tuesday, February 9th 2010, 11:34 GMT
FIA president Jean Todt is to continue his push to introduce licences for team managers in Formula 1 in the wake of the Renault race-fix scandal.
With former Renault boss Flavio Briatore and engineering director Pat Symonds having overturned bans from the sport in the French courts, a decision that remains subject to an FIA appeal, Todt has said action will be taken as a response to the matter.
Speaking to Gazzetta dello Sport about the subject, Todt said: "The Court of Grande Instance ruled we were wrong over the form, not the substance.
"There was an indisputable fact and there was proof - so much so that there was just a single vote against at the World Council. I will propose that the team managers, too, will have a licence."
Todt has also made it clear that he intends to stand for only one term as FIA president - after claiming that predecessor Max Mosley went on for too long.
"He's a friend," said Todt of Mosley. "But also as an enemy he did a super job for safety: nobody has died in F1 since [Ayrton] Senna, and [Felipe] Massa is back to racing.
"Everyone has his own style: 16 years at the helm are too many, it's crazy. No, I'm doing a single mandate; otherwise I wouldn't have time to do other things anymore."

Love is in the air! (hopefully :))
A little about me: I work in the mortgage industry,and I love to travel. Recently it's been a little tough meeting new people, so I thought I'd give online dating a try. I have a pretty demanding job, but outside of it, I really enjoy spending time with friends, going to concerts and outdoor events like the Hollywood Bowl,as well as movies. I try to take a trip outside of the country every year, and this year I have been to Cancun, Mexico and Costa Rica. I am passionate about life, traveling, trying and finding new things and enjoying the simple pleasures of life. I am grateful for my wonderful family and great friends who always support me. I'm hoping to find someone who is sincere, kind, affectionate, intelligent,educated, family oriented, has good morals, has a stable job, and hopefully enjoys traveling and fun outdoor activities. I know that I am not perfect, so while I have a strong sense of who I am, I also have a strong desire to improve and grow. I hope to never stop learning and growing, and I think you can learn from every person who crosses your path :)

Ford isn't the only one having recall trouble with its crossovers this week. Honda has just announced a voluntary recall for its 2012 CR-V, as well as the 2013 Acura ILX, to correct an issue with their front door latches. According to Honda, operating the front driver or passenger inner door handle and the door locks simultaneously could disengage the handle's release cable, which in turn may result in the door not latching when closed or popping open when the door locks are used.

The fabrication process for a long-range surface plasmon polariton hydrogen sensor is presented. The device, referred to as the cladded membrane waveguide, features a 5 μm wide and 20 nm thick gold stripe embedded in a 160 nm free standing Cytop membrane. Broadside excitation and output are achieved with integrated grating couplers. Hydrogen sensitivity is provided by an overlaid 5 nm thick palladium patch, which acts as a transduction medium. The device is fabricated by integrating several process techniques including blind through-wafer alignment, optical photolithography, overlaid electron beam lithography, metal lift-off, and through-substrate silicon wet etching. Fabricated results are presented along with a detailed discussion. The devices are characterized optically via a cutback measurement with the measured waveguide attenuation being consistent with simulated values.
2" title="Defect-mediated transport and electronic irradiation effect in individual domains of CVD-grown monolayer MoS2" />
The authors study the electrical transport properties of atomically thin individual crystalline grains of MoS2 with four-probe scanning tunneling microscopy. The monolayer MoS2 domains are synthesized by chemical vapor deposition on SiO2/Si substrate. Temperature dependent measurements on conductance and mobility show that transport is dominated by an electron charge trapping and thermal release process with very low carrier density and mobility. The effects of electronic irradiation are examined by exposing the film to electron beam in the scanning electron microscope in an ultrahigh vacuum environment. The irradiation process is found to significantly affect the mobility and the carrier density of the material, with the conductance showing a peculiar time-dependent relaxation behavior. It is suggested that the presence of defects in active MoS2 layer and dielectric layer create charge trapping sites, and a multiple trapping and thermal release process dictates the transport and mobility characteristics. The electron beam irradiation promotes the formation of defects and impact the electrical properties of MoS2. Our study reveals the important roles of defects and the electron beam irradiation effects in the electronic properties of atomic layers of MoS2.
The most direct definition of a patterning process' resolution is the smallest half-pitch feature that is capable of transferring onto the substrate. Here, the authors demonstrate that thermal scanning probe lithography (t-SPL) is capable of fabricating dense line patterns in silicon and metal lift-off features at sub-20 nm feature size. The dense silicon lines were written at a half pitch of 18.3 nm to a depth of 5 nm into a 9 nm polyphthalaldehyde thermal imaging layer by t-SPL. For processing, the authors used a three-layer stack comprising an evaporated SiO2 hardmask, which is just 2–3 nm thick. The hardmask is used to amplify the pattern into a 50 nm thick polymeric transfer layer. The transfer layer subsequently serves as an etch mask for transfer into silicon to a depth of ≈65 nm. The line edge roughness (3σ) was evaluated to be less than 3 nm both in the transfer layer and in silicon. The authors also demonstrate that a similar three-layer stack can be used for metal lift-off of high resolution patterns. A device application is demonstrated by fabricating 50 nm half pitch dense nickel contacts to an InAs nanowire.
Networks of neurons cultured on-chip can provide insights into both normal and disease-state brain function. The ability to guide neuronal growth in specific, artificially designed patterns allows us to study how brain function follows form. Primary cortical cells cultured on nanograting scaffolds, in particular astrocytes, showed highly ordered regions of dendritic outgrowth. Usually, materials suitable for nanopatterning have a stiffness far above that of the extracellular matrix. In this paper, the authors studied two materials with large differences in stiffness, polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and silicon. Our results show that both nanopatterned silicon and PDMS guide the outgrowth of astrocytes in cortical cell culture, but the growth of the astrocyte is affected by the stiffness of the substrate, as revealed by differences in the cell soma size and the organization of the outgrowth.
Molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) two-dimensional nanostructures have been actively explored for ultrasmall transistors beyond graphene. The current prevailing methods for producing MoS2 devices involve multiple wet chemistry steps, which not only are time consuming, but may also unfavorably affect material quality and impair device performance through the chemical processes. Here, the authors report the first dry-transferred pristine MoS2 field-effect transistors (FETs) without any post-transfer lithographical and chemical processes, by using a facile, completely dry transfer technique with high throughput and high precision in alignment. The authors also show that the device performance can be greatly boosted by thermal annealing. Combining the dry-transfer technique with thermal annealing, the authors achieve MoS2 FETs with mobility up to 76 cm2/(V s) and on/off ratios exceeding 107. The authors further show how continued annealing cycles improve the MoS2 devices' conductance, mobility, on/off ratio, transconductance, threshold voltage, and contact quality.

Surface analytical investigation on organometal triiodide perovskiteView Description Hide Description
In a little over a year, there has been an unexpected breakthrough and rapid evolution of highly efficient solid-state hybrid solar cells based on organometal trihalide perovskite materials. This technology has the potential to produce solar cells with the very highest efficiencies while retaining the very lowest cost. The authors have measured the electronic density of states of CH3NH3PbI3 using ultraviolet photoemission spectroscopy (UPS), inverse photoemission spectroscopy (IPES), and x-ray photoemission spectroscopy (XPS). The valence band maximum and conduction band minimum positions are obtained from the UPS and IPES spectra, respectively, by linear extrapolation of the leading edges. The authors investigate the Au/perovskite and C60/perovskite interfaces by UPS and XPS. An interface dipole of 0.1 eV is observed at Au/perovskite interface. The energy levels of perovskite shift upward by ca.0.4 eV with Au coverage of 64 Å upon it, resulting in band bending, hence a built-in field in perovskite that encourages hole transport to the interface. The XPS results show a strong initial shift of core levels to lower binding energy in the perovskite, which indicates that electrons transfer from the perovskite film to fullerene molecules. Further deposition of fullerene forms C60 solid, accompanied by the reduction of the electron transfer. The strongest electron transfer happened at 1/4 monolayer of fullerene.f
Hole trap distribution on 2 MeV electron irradiated high-k dielectricsView Description Hide Description
The effects of 2 MeV electron irradiation on the electrical properties of high-k dielectric based metal–insulator–semiconductor capacitors have been studied. Samples consist of 5.9 nm-thick films of aluminum oxide and hafnium oxide deposited by atomic layer deposition on silicon substrates. Deep-level transient spectroscopy (DLTS) and admittance measurements reveal that electron irradiation modifies the defect density of both surface states at the dielectric–semiconductor interface and border traps existing inside the dielectric. The experimental results indicate that irradiation has a double effect. The incident electrons transfer their energy and generate additional surface states, leading to a degradation of the interface. On the other hand, irradiation generates electron–hole pairs inside the dielectric. Some of the holes are trapped by border traps located inside the dielectric at locations close to the interface. As a result, border traps capturing holes are neutralized and become inactive after irradiation. Moreover, interface state profiles, as measured by DLTS, are affected by the presence of border traps and yield overestimated interface state densities. Admittance spectroscopy is used to distinguish among border traps and interface traps. A detailed study of the conductance signal as a function of voltage, temperature and frequency for samples with different irradiation doses (nonirradiated, 2.5, 25, and 250 Mrad) is presented here. The influence of the irradiation dose has been analyzed in order to compare the defect distribution before and after irradiation.f
Artifacts related to tip asymmetry in high-resolution atomic force microscopy and scanning tunneling microscopy measurements of graphitic surfacesView Description Hide Description
The effect of tip asymmetry on atomic-resolution scanning tunneling microscopy and atomic force microscopy measurements of graphitic surfaces has been investigated via numerical simulations. Employing a three-dimensional, crystalline, metallic tip apex and a two-layer thick graphene sample as a model system, basic calculations of the tip–sample interaction have revealed a significant effect of tip asymmetry on obtained results, including artificial modulation of site-specific chemical interaction forces and spatial distortion of observed features. Related artifacts are shown to be enhanced for tips with low lateral stiffness values. Our results emphasize that potentially erroneous interpretations of atomic-scale surface properties via imaging and spectroscopy measurements can be caused or enhanced by tip asymmetry.f
Conductive-AFM topography and current maps simulator for the study of polycrystalline high-k dielectricsView Description Hide Description
In this work, a simulator of conductive atomic force microscopy (C-AFM) was developed to reproduce topography and current maps. In order to test the results, the authors used the simulator to investigate the influence of the C-AFM tip on topography measurements of polycrystalline high-k dielectrics, and compared the results with experimental data. The results show that this tool can produce topography images with the same morphological characteristics as the experimental samples under study. Additionally, the current at each location of the dielectric stack was calculated. The quantum mechanical transmission coefficient and tunneling current were obtained from the band diagram by applying the Airy wavefunction approach. Good agreement between experimental and simulation results indicates that the tool can be very useful for evaluating how the experimental parameters influence C-AFM measurements.f
Thickness modulation effects of Al2O3 capping layers on device performance for the top-gate thin-film transistors using solution-processed poly(4-vinyl phenol)/Zn-Sn-O gate stacksView Description Hide Description
Solution-processed Zn-Sn-O (ZTO) top-gate thin-film transistors with Al2O3/poly(4-vinyl phenol) (PVP) double-layered gate insulators (GI) were fabricated and characterized. ZTO active channel was formed by spin-coating method and activated at a temperature as low as 350 °C. The chemical damages for the PVP films, which were induced during the photolithography-based patterning process were effectively suppressed by the introduction of Al2O3 capping layer. This capping layer also played an important role in improving the drain current hysteretic behaviors caused by intrinsic properties of the PVP film by modulating the capacitance coupling in the double-layered GI. The carrier mobility, subthreshold swing, and on/off ratio were obtained as approximately 5.13 cm2V−1s−1, 0.36 V/dec, 7.03 × 106, respectively, with hysteresis-free characteristics when the thickness values of Al2O3 capping and PVP GI layers were designed to be 90 and 220 nm, respectively.f
Comparison of crystalline-silicon/amorphous-silicon interface prepared by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition and catalytic chemical vapor depositionView Description Hide Description
The properties of the interface between crystalline silicon (c-Si) and amorphous silicon (a-Si) were studied for two deposition methods of a-Si. One is the conventional plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) and the other is catalytic chemical vapor deposition (Cat-CVD), often called hot-wire CVD. Surface recombination velocity (SRV) and atomic scale fine structure at the a-Si/c-Si interface were particularly studied. It is found that the a-Si/c-Si interface is very sharp for Cat-CVD a-Si and the width of transition-layer from c-Si to a-Si is less than 0.6 nm, which is three times smaller than for PECVD a-Si. It is also found that the SRV for Cat-CVD a-Si is about 1/3 of that for PECVD, and that the SRV appears to depend on the effective area of the interface which increases due to increase of surface roughness caused by plasma damage.f

Big Bang Theory's funny girl, Kaley Cuoco, may have taken Hollywood by such a big surprise for being the luckiest woman the Man of Steel star would take under his cape. But Henry Cavill's new girlfriend may also be taking so much pressure for getting too much attention after news broke out that she is the new Lois Lane in Superman's heart.
Barely three weeks after the 'Man of Steel' had broken records in the box office in June 2013, Henry and Kaley were reported dating, and a trip to the supermarket on Wednesday, July 3, with their hands locked just officially confirmed that they are indeed Hollywood's new hot couple. Kaley has received more attention than she has ever had, even with her great performance in comedy series Big Bang Theory.
Search has been up about BBT's Johnny Galecki's ex-girflriend and more want to know the top things about Kaley.
Amidst skyrocketing attention Kaley has been getting since hooking with the Man of Steel, Kaley was spotted Wednesday stepping out in three different ensembles in just one day.
While she kept her beige hat in all three different occasions, The Daily Mail noted that Henry's new Lois Lane sported three different looks: from a long-sleeved printed flowing black and white top to another black-and-white striped sleeveless to a pink tank top.
Wednesday's morning for Kaley was the hot-pink vest, teaming it up with a navy riding trousers. She was then spotted riding her horse before ditching her vest and putting on a looser black-and-whote vest then headed to get an icy Starbucks drink from Studio City. It was a busy day for Kaley as she was reported to take one of her three pitbulls to the vet after riding one of her four horses and having some refreshments. This time, Kaley changed into a leopard-print sleeved shirt.
No official statement have been released from both camps, but the pictures of them taking a hike early this week and was published on People.com speak louder than words.
"They were both single and started dating recently," a source told People magazine on Monday, July 1, 2013.
Henry has been a fan of Big Bang Theory and was reported to have always wanted to date Kaley. The two are represented by the same publicity firm, Viewpoint Inc., based in Beverly Hills.

count me in! 3 total just like b4. but i am better at fb then db so i will again need help. thanks!!! ebta too please
Welcome Melodie, I will add you to the roll call on page 1.
I just keep a box in the spare bedroom and as I collect things I need for the cruise (eg: toiletries, fish extender gifts etc) I pop them in there until it's time to pack.
I tried and failed miserably to recreate the coconut shrimp with sweet chilli sauce at home the other night......we need to get them again & that fab curry!
We will definitely be doing JVD this time!!!
I still can't forget all that bloody food Lee ordered in Palo.
You are going to fit in really well with us Holly........we are all obsessed!
Welcome, I will add you to the roll call.
I've added you.
I'm interested in the WBTA. I'm disneydee27 and DW Christy.
Tim and Kerrie aswell ...... it keeps getting better all the time : )
Wow!!! Wow!!! WOW!!!!!!!!
With so many wonderful people onboard, how could a DCL-addict resist????? AND would LOVE to do another WBTA so, Claire sweetie, could you please add Richard and I to the Roll Call???
Looking forward to meeting friends - old & new...
Oh. My. Bring it on!!!!
Missus Wobbley!!!! How fab'lous...
Hello Tim! Sadly Richard & I won't be on the Fantasy Inaugural BUT I shall look forward to seeing you both on this VERY exciting cruise!!!
Sign us up!
Liz, Bobby (DH), and Autumn (age 6 now, but will turn 8 during the 2013 WBTA cruise)
That would kill two birds with one stone ... Venice and WBTA in one wonderful cruise
Hi Melodie .... great to see you on board so to speak .... what about Dave and Amy? I think Kimberly is interested too
That is true .... plus we can go there for a short break any time ... the flights are often cheaper than a train to London. But the thought of leaving or approaching Venice on the Disney Magic ... well that would be epic and sublime rolled into one.
Sarah and Tony!!! I do declare... And there's a Mark & Mandy rumour too!!!
Woooo hoooo Karen as well ... DIS UK will take over the ship!
You got the Jimmy Choos ... result! Worth Stevie missing Palo then I would say. I am still amazed that you made it to Palo that night. I was such a lightweight lobster! ( and we won't talk about Tony )
Page 11 already for a cruise that might not even exist ... how amazing is that
We don't have so much a Disney bits box, before the last WBTA we ended up with entire drawer under the bed!!! But I think we used every single thing that we squirrelled away.
I was supposed to be starting my tax return this evening, but my concentration kept wandering back to fb and here!
It is so nice that so many familiar names (having to learn everyone's disNames all over again!) are back chatting once again.
As for DCL..... If you think back to when people were desperately waiting for their cabin assignments last time, dcl didn't come up with the goods until people had started to give up hope!!!
Lynne- I think we will need a weekly recap if the pages keep whiz zing by this quickly!!!!
Annemarie x
Count us in! Please add us Claire
Hmmm, I need to find out about the Champagne Girls.....
Wooooohoooo indeed!!!!
Patience is a virtue!
Of course Mandy and I will be there!
Evelyn, as soon as I read that I remembered that I had 2 sets of friends on that plane.
Cruising Disney. 'nuf said.
Are you Sue Powell in real life, too?
Okay - I just got off the phone with DCL. I didn't mention this thing called the DISboards - she did. She said they do read it - and are amused, but also amazed at how much we get right before we "officially" are told. Very nice chat with a CM - and you know that is not always the case.
Expect several weeks before the 2013 Magic & Wonder dates and itineraries are released. They are still training/educating the CMs, as it is a bit complicated - I think Mary's hit it on the head with the varying cruise schedules.
As far as Venice, I am piecing together information I gather from here and there.
And expect great new destinations in the future with Disney - far away places - maybe not in 2013, but they are coming. Keep filling up those piggy banks!
Separate names with a comma.

Emotionally stunted, melancholy thirty-somethings struggling with adult responsibilities, knocking around a salubrious-looking part of London... hold up, this is a British film about relationships! Middle class setting aside, writer/director Col Spector's debut is a charming and polished comedy-drama which goes for home truths rather than flowery fakery, starring Green Wing-er Stephen Mangan as the unromantic lead who can't decide exactly which bit of the grass is greener.
When the weight of proposal-expectation weighs too heavily, David (Mangan) gets the itch and ends his three-year relationship with Lisa (Lynch) to be with another woman. Except happy endings only happen in the movies, and David's new woman has a new man of her own. But as a few heart-to-hearts reveal, things aren't plain sailing for David's friends either. Be they single, or well and truly married, it seems everyone is struggling with that thing called love.
Someone Else is the top end of indie filmmaking, with a polished script and even shinier cinematography from Trevor Forrest, but it's low-key enough not to verge onto Richard Curtis territory. Mangan's lead is an easygoing neurotic, selfish yet empathic by turns, although not deep enough to make the film's conclusion (complete with Take That cover song) moving as opposed to just end-tying. Short, funny and bittersweet, just like some relationships are meant to be.
Someone Else is out in the UK on 7 September 2007.

Remy stuns Villa with late goal
Loic Remy ended Newcastle's barren run with a dramatic injury-time winner as Aston Villa finally succumbed at St James' Park.
The striker claimed his 12th goal of the season in injury time of a game the Magpies should have had wrapped up long before. It clinched a first victory since January 18 and ended a run of five successive home defeats.
Remy and strike-partner Papiss Cisse had earlier wasted glorious opportunities to put Alan Pardew's men ahead in a game which rarely hit the heights, but the former's late contribution proved enough to seal a 1-0 win.
Villa gave as good as they got for long periods, but looked to be fortunate not to concede an 81st-minute penalty when the ball appeared to strike defender Leandro Bacuna's arm inside the box.
Newcastle went into the game having lost each of their last five fixtures in all competitions at St James' and with the club moving to deny that Pardew's job was on the line if he did not remedy that situation today.
The initial signs were positive as a team strengthened significantly by the return of Fabricio Coloccini and Cheick Tiote from injury and Remy from suspension set about their task in determined fashion.
Remy forced a second-minute save from Brad Guzan with a well-struck effort and Cisse almost embarrassed the American eight minutes later with a drilled effort which he spilled, fortunately at the feet of team-mate Nathan Baker.
Scroll through this weekend's best images from the world of soccer.
However, the wheels then rather came off for the Magpies as Villa found their feet and started to hit their hosts on the counter with the pace of Gabriel Agbonlahor a particular threat.
Midfielder Karim El Ahmadi had already fired across the face of goal twice when Agbonlahor forced a 19th-minute save from Tim Krul after Ashley Westwood had set him up, and he blasted a long-range effort inches over the crossbar seconds later.
Pardew, who had signaled his intention to play two strikers for the remainder of the season in his programme notes, swiftly abandoned the system in favor of a 4-5-1 formation, and while that helped to stem the tide, it did little to improve Newcastle's creativity.
Remy saw a 44th-minute free-kick just wide, but Cisse really should have scored in first half-injury time after being picked out by the Frenchman in front of goal, but his shot was too high.
Villa's efforts to deny the home side time and space proved effective and the Magpies became increasingly frustrated as they struggled to find any cohesion.
They did, however, with 53 minutes gone when Remy flicked Moussa Sissoko's pass into the path of Yoan Gouffran, whose right-foot shot flew just wide.
FOX Soccer's Blog offers unique coverage of the world game. Join us.
But with neither side able to retain possession for more than a handful of rudimentary passes, chances were few and far between.
However, left-back Paul Dummett when desperately close when he curled a 20-yard shot just over with 63 minutes gone, and Gouffran volleyed high and wide two minutes later with Newcastle pressing.
Tiote fired tamely at Guzan and Sissoko scuffed harmlessly wide as the home, then Remy forced a diving save from Guzan with a well-struck effort 10 minutes from time.
The home side were furious not to be awarded a penalty seconds later after the ball appeared to strike Bacuna's arm.
The Magpies should have snatched victory when substitute Luuk de Jong robbed Ron Vlaar on the goal-line and squared for Remy, who contrived to hit the upright.
But the France international redeemed himself two minutes into stoppage time when he spun inside the box to thump home left-foot volley past the helpless Guzan.

Let's face it. This is like a UFC paperview. Rockstar Games v.s PETA.
It worked in RDR because of it's time period. But this is set in modern times, killing bears or dogs in modern times isn't the best thing for a video game.
"Perfect" has 7 letters. So does "meeeeee" Coincidence? I think not.

Yeah, now listen to that beat. Now that's a kickin' glissando!
Its not like they'll do anything besides complain about it for like a day and then stop because they will see that no one cares what PETA says.

"Take these acid rounds, they are good against living things." -Barry from RE
It's OK to kill people in brutal ways, but not animals?
Hell, I had a funner time killing people in RDR than I did killing animals and it'll be the same for this game.
It also seems kind of silly to completely change a game or stop making it just because a group doesn't like the abuse of animals.
has killing dogs been confirmed? I bet they will be like kids in Fable II.

Hunting is hunting. It's not like you are out killing kids, you are hunting. And a wolf is a breed of canine. So every hunting game to date should be attacked by the PETA.
Lol, whats next? Why are there so many troll topics, and terrible ones at that. Lol....
i don't need to stick my head up a cows ass to know that it stinks in there - blutoblutarskyX
PETA can go suck a lemon. And FYI they're one to talk.. they kill more animals than any single person or organization (at least in the US). How many dogs do they euthanize every year? I don't know the statistics off the top of my head but you'd be appalled if you read it.
And I'd have to be in that "it's ok kill people but not animals?" camp. At the end of the day it's all just code.. it's pixels and polygons and none of it mean anything. Whether you're putting a bullet into an innocent bystander or into a bear, it shouldn't matter. It's a game.
Lol, PETA commit acts of domestic terrorism and disruption. If anything I hope R* goes balls to the wall and gives us some missions where we get to smear their hypocrisy in their faces, they've already let us do it to so many other fictional-groups inspired by real ones.

so I'm bored and I have two weeks until I can get to the brew shop.
Having animals I always have wet cob running around some where and have decided to try making ale with it.
I have not hops, I do have.
1qt sugar
2qt wet cob
5gal water
1 packet redstar champagne yeast
I put the water on to boil and added the sugar when it was warm enough to stir in but not boiling then added the wet cob, covered and waited for a simmer.
Simmered for 60 min and ladled (keeping as much of the wet cob as I could out) into a sanitated carboy in cold water to let cool.
I then put 1/4cup sugar and 2cups water into a pot and warmed enough to to dissolve the sugar, let cool to 100deg and pitched the yeast.
I let the wart cool to 105deg and added the starter and an air lock.
Now we wait.
Three things:
1) What is wet cob? SWMBO (who owned horses for a long time) has never heard of it and a google search gives me ambiguous results. I'm going to venture a guess that none of it is malted.
2) You don't have malt (I'm assuming) or hops... so this is definitely not a beer. 'Hooch' is a bit more fitting.
3) 100 degrees may be too hot for your yeast. There's a good possibility you're not going to see any fermentation due to the fact that you've killed them.
ya, somebody better clear this up
*EDIT* - subbed
It is not certain that everything is uncertain.Primary:BCS CloneSecondary:Oud bruin (2), Raspberry melomel Bottled: Oktoberfest, Imperial PunkinKegged: Wild Ale, Dark Mild
Gallons to date 2012: 47
A little weird? You got that right. Add a bag of sugar to the pot, wring out your wet dog into it, then thermal shock your carboy before cooking your sugar starter yeast in hot warts...all for your ale made with champagne yeast and no malt or hops.
We're gonna need some clarification here.
"Cob is corn, oats, pellets (like alfalfa pellets) and other grains. Dry cob is just that, wet cob has molasses added to it."-from some other person.
Interesting. If I didn't know it was horse food I would wonder if it wasn't too bad. Let us know.how it is.
I'm glad to see that We have an open mind.
wet-cob is allot like sweet feed without all the forage added, its rolled grains and molasses.
SWMBO may not have feed sweet feed or wet-cob, maybe used only alfalfa.
Not all that has malt is beer, not all that is beer has malt. (or hops)
Red Star recommends the temp for champagne west starter to be 100-105 deg Fahrenheit, read the package. I am sure of this due to the fact that it is fermenting as I type.
"I dunno, his previous posts indicate he's been looking for other brewing info."
Please do not accuse me of bootlegging distilled spirits ever again.
I hope this clears the water.
Oh I'm not trying to put it down... I'm actually curious as to how it turns out... but I'm going to have to be a bit of a "definition nazi" here
Beer is classified as an alcoholic beverage consisting of malt, hops, yeast and water. It can include other ingredients (except in Germany) but if you're missing one of those four ingredients, it isn't beer.
Well next time I should have hops and malt so maybe I will try something like:
1gal water
1/4cup golden malt extract
1/4cup cob
1/4 oz yet to be determined hops
BTW it seems that around here wet-cob is just rolled corn, barley, oats, wheat and molasses, if it has alfalfa pellets in it they call it sweet feed.
In Missouri it was all called wet-cob. editnote I see alot of hulls in this stuff so this ma not go over well)
I don't know maybe this will be called horse feed swill ale, I can always add a hop pellet and some golden malt to appease the Nazi regime.

Clermont's front-row woes worsen
ESPNscrum Staff
December 12, 2011
David Zirakashvili is out for two months © Getty Images
Clermont Auvergne are on the verge of an injury crisis in the front-row following the news that David Zirakashvili has fractured his arm.
The Georgian prop limped from the field in the 37th minute against the Leicester Tigers and scans have revealed that he has fractured the radius in his forearm. He will undergo the surgeon's knife this week and is expected to be out for two months. Clermont are already without French international Thomas Domingo for the rest of the season and Lionel Faure was ruled out of the clash with the Tigers due to a thigh injury.
Following Martin Scelzo's departure to Agen at the end of last season, Clermont are left with four fit props: Vincent Debaty, Danie Kotze and youngsters Clement Ric and Raphael Chaume.
However, Clermont's backs are firing and Wales fullback Lee Byrne is hoping to draw on previous experience against the Tigers at Welford Road this weekend. "It's going to be a tough trip and we need to recover well. They are a quality, well drilled team and they showed that when they scored their first try against us," said Byrne. "We are happy with the win and to feel disappointed about not scoring four tries against Leicester means we have to be doing something right. Winning was the key thing for us and it means there is all to play for next week.
"The spirit here at Clermont is excellent and the fans are fantastic. Playing in Wales I heard stories that the French don't take the Heineken Cup seriously. But being at Clermont I now know how seriously they take it and how much they want to win it. The ambition here is great and, hopefully, we will be pushing for that and the Top 14."

Comments about Pyle® PT598AS 5.1 Channel Digital Home Theater AM/FM Receiver Surround Sound Package, 350 W:
I've had this system on almost constantly since I got and it has performed flawlessly. It has plenty of volume, including solid bass via the nice sized subwoofer. It came with speaker mounts and a ton of speaker wire. If I had any complaints they would be. 1) That the main power switch doesn't work with the remote. 2) It doesn't have an "MP3" thumb drive or "SD card" input. But that can be easily gotten around because it does have "3" aux and "1" DVD input. Overall I'd say it's a very good value for the dollar. I wouldn't hesitate recommending it to someone
