BRADFORD – The University of Pittsburgh at Bradford is more than the major provider of higher education in a six-county area.
A study shows that the college also boosts the economy.
The study indicates that Pitt-Bradford contributed $67.5 million to the regional economy in 2011.
Dr. Livingston Alexander, president of the college, said Wednesday that the study "confirms our impact on the region's economy."
He discussed the study and other issues Wednesday at a 100-minute forum with area media representatives at the Frame-Westerberg Commons on campus.
JOHNSONBURG – Elk County was burned with another arson case after an early-morning fire torched a residence owned by Albert Lee Abplanalp, age 59, at 208 Church St. in Johnsonburg.
The initial call was placed at 12:58 a.m. as a fire destroyed a single-stall garage, four residential structures, and a vehicle. The residence at 208 Church St. sustained the most damage, as the fire originated in a detached single-stall garage at the property and spread to the main residence situated only a few feet away.
Large amounts of broken glass strewn along a portion of Market Street and near-riot conditions prompted a thorough discussion about events in which the city's open container law is waived.
Councilman Greg Gebauer brought up the matter during Monday's St. Marys City Council meeting, explaining he was summoned to Market Street at 2 a.m. on Saturday, where upon his arrival he witnessed 50-100 people whom he described as "carrying on, staggering around and being loud."
RIDGWAY – Area youth had a chance to spend time in nature and improve their artistic skills with the "Walk, Talk & Print" program offered by ECCOTA over the past few weeks.
Area students from fourth through eighth grade took to the outdoors around the Rails to Trails and Sandy Beach areas in the morning with Lora Zill. Zill teaches writing and critical analysis at Gannon University, and is also a teaching artist with the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts. She is also a faculty member in a program for gifted public school students at Allegheny College.
JOHNSONBURG-- An additional charge of theft by unlawful taking, a misdemeanor of the first degree, has been filed against a Ridgway woman already charged with embezzling insurance monies following a fire at her home.
The affidavit alleges that Nancy Jean Bodien, 36, of 45 Fremont Ave. in Ridgway, took into her possession a laptop computer belonging to the WDDH radio station following her resignation from the station on May 29, 2012.
In a move echoed by surrounding township and municipalities, the City of St. Marys plans to sever its ties with Central Tax Bureau (CENTAX), a tax collection agency, appointed in January 2012 by the Elk County Tax Collection Committee (ECTCC) as the permanent income tax collector agency.
"Since that time we've had nothing but problems with CENTAX," said St. Marys City Manager Dave Greene. "We have not received any reports from them, although we have received money. They continue to be behind on distributing the money to us."
Dual enrollment programs providing high school students the opportunity to earn college credits in the course of a normal school day will be offered by the St. Marys Area High School in the upcoming school year.

My first totem for my garden
This is made of junk I found. The fish is a pitcher and all of the other things are candleholders just glued together. I just happened to find the right colors to kinda match. Thats it! I put a big plate on the bottom to stablize it and covered it up with mulch.
Boy, I don't think I would give those individual pieces a second glance if I saw them--I would just think they were tacky clutter but you have combined them and made them SUPER CUTE . I am sure it is not so easy to pull it all off and make it look so folk-artsy. I am going to have to 'retrain' my definition of what is and is not usuable junk. Great job!
This Totem is such a "happy" piece. you have to smile looking at it. What a great eye you have for putting stuff together that most of us probably wouldn't have looked at seen individually. You are the reason I looked for a fish for my first (cobalt) totem. I still want to find colorful pottery stuff to make a totem with.
Keep creating, and posting photos.
I found a small fish cup, so my copycat totem is smaller. Just finished putting it together last night, guess I need to wait a day or so to put it out - doesn't the geII have to cure or something?
Wish my digital wasn't broken - actually, it isn't broken, but our computer is so old and so full we can't download any pictures - we have ordered a new one. guess then we will find out for sure if the camera works or not.

Still unclear on shade - part shade
I am trying to figure out what kind of shade I have in my side yard, which faces East but is between two houses. It is shady in the morning as the sun rises behind the house next door. Then about 11 a.m. the sun hits the garden, and as it crosses the sky, the garden gets moving sunlight for about 3 hours, with no part of the area getting the full three hours of sun. Then, it's in shade again. So - am I dealing with part shade? I have read many definitions of shade and I'm still stumped. I don't know what to plant! Thanks!!
I assume it is open to the sky above so I would classify it as part shade. Plants requiring less than full sun may well perform nicely. You have to experiment to find what will prosper and what will languish. Don't worry about trying to define precisely what you have in the way of sun/shade.

I need your help with this...
I am almost finished with this painting but I am stuck on what to do with the top. I need your ideas - should I just paint Welcome, or maybe Home Sweet Home,or what? I purchased this wood at Joann's Fabric but it was a little bigger than I wanted but I thought I could put something at the top. Now that I am looking at it I should have painted it horizontally, it would have looked better. Oh, well, too late now. So, tell me what you suggest.
I showed this to my DH since I always go to him for this type of suggestions on my own projects. He says Home Sweet Home stacked one on top of the other at the top.
I had thought Home Sweet Home also, but was thinking in a curve at the top and didn't think it would fit, so I have to agree with him.
It is just so beautiful, love how you have the scene inside the ring of flowers like that. And of course, I love the pastels shades of it all. Be sure to show us the finished product however you decide to do it, okay?
This is what I really like, a scene inside something. Wonderful job painting this spring looking scene. Love the pink in the clouds and water. Home Sweet Home, Memories Made Here, Love Lives Here, There's No Place Like Home, Faith, Family, Friends, Family Is Everything, Welcome To Our Home, Welcome or a pretty bow painted that comes down the sides a little could work if you didn't want to paint lettering. I'll stop here and can't wait to see what you come up with.
Thanks as always for sharing with us. Punk

Stephen W. Sears has delivered a masterwork in Gettysburg, his single-volume history of the Civil War's greatest campaign. Drawing on original source material, from soldiers' letters to the Official Records of the war, Sears offers dramatic and informed accounts of every aspect of the campaign, from well-hewn portraits of the battle's leaders to detailed analyses of their strategies and tactics. Sears depicts General Meade's remarkable performance in his first week of army command and pinpoints General Lee's responsibility in the agonizing failure of the Confederate army. With characteristic style and insight, Sears brings the epic tale of the battle in Pennsylvania vividly to life.

Better bring your baggage to cabin from your departure airport, rather than checking it in. Getting your baggage later on here takes a looong time & definitely not a good impression for Indonesia.
Security is at the gates, so do whatever shopping you want up front.
Checking in? Depending on your citizenship you'll need up to 150,000rp to pay an "exit tax"
Don't buy water after immigration unless you'll drink before going to your gate. They don't allow it.

dryer vent hole too small
I need to replace my dryer vent. It's an old house and the existing vent is 3"
I found a 3" vent at Home Depot but when I try to fit it into the hole in the foundation it doesn't fit by just a hair or two!
It's like the previous pipe was placed there before the concrete was poured!
I don't have much in the way of tools. Tried chipping away at the opening (which is not perfectly smooth) with a hammer and a heavy file, which broke. In terms of power tools I have only a drill.
After an hour of that I have several lacerated fingers and have made very little progress.
I just need a fraction of an inch or so. Can someone recommend a tool that would do the job better? Just a heavier hammer and proper chisel?
The vent cap is metal and I can't push it very hard from the outside without denting the thing.
Kinda stuck for doing laundry until I fix this.
Help! :)

Microsoft releases software to fix bug, repair systems; other cyber weapons could have exploited same flaw-experts; Experts say other cyber weapons may soon be discovered
June 5, 2012 11:26 by Reuters
Microsoft Corp warned that a bug in Windows allowed PCs across theMiddle East to become infected with the Flame virus and released a software fix to fight the espionage tool that surfaced last week.
Security experts said they were both surprised and impressed by the approach that the attackers had used, which was to disguise Flame as a legitimate program built by Microsoft.
"I woke up to this news and I couldn't believe it. I had to ask, 'Am I reading this right?'" said Roel Schouwenberg of Russian security firm Kaspersky Lab, one of the researchers who helped discover the Flame virus.
Experts described the method as "elegant" and they believed it had likely been used to deliver other cyber weapons yet to be identified.
"It would be logical to assume that they would have used it somewhere else at the same time, Mikko Hypponen, chief research officer for security software maker F-Secure.
If other types of cyber weapons were indeed delivered to victim PCs using the same approach as Flame, then they will likely be exposed very quickly now that Microsoft has identified the problem, said Adam Meyers, director of intelligence for security firm CrowdStrike.
Cyber weapons that bear the fake Microsoft code will either stop working or lose some of their camouflage, said Ryan Smith, chief research scientist with security firm Accuvant.
A spokeswoman for Microsoft declined to comment on whether other viruses had exploited the same flaw in Windows or if the company's security team was looking for similar bugs in the operating system.
Flame's code included what is known as a digital certificate, which falsely identified it as a piece of software from Microsoft.
The creators of the virus obtained that certificate by manipulating a component of the Windows operating system known as terminal services licensing, or TS licensing, that is designed to authorize business customers to use advanced features of Windows.
A bug in TS licensing allowed the hackers to use it to create fake certificates that identified Flame as being from Microsoft, Mike Reavey, a senior director with Microsoft's Security Response Center, said in a blog post.
He feared that other hackers might be able to copy the technique to launch more widespread attacks with other types of viruses, Reavey said.
"We continue to investigate this issue and will take any appropriate actions to help protect customers," Reavey said in the blog post.
News of the Flame virus, which surfaced a week ago, generated headlines around the world as researchers said that technical evidence suggests it was built on behalf of the same nation or nations that commissioned the Stuxnet worm that attacked Iran's nuclear program in 2010. Researchers are still gathering information about the virus.

instrAction develops and manufactures instrAction® phases, highly selective resins for chromatography. The technology allows for immobilization of small molecules as well as substances with high molecular weight on a polymer network coated on different porous backbone materials.
"In order to exploit the full value of this exciting new protein purification technology and to convince customers from pharma process development and production, it is important to provide convincing data sets from feasibility studies," states Stefan Müllner, CEO of Protagen.
Protagen, which also specializes in in vitro diagnostics, has raised a total €10 million ($13.9 million) in two financing rounds, the second one closing in September. On February 7, instrAction announced it expanded an alliance formed in July with Novasep beyond nonchiral chromatography to include the purification of taxanes.

The Season 12 of American Idol has been beset with controversies, more dramas and intrigues as the Idol finale draws near.
With barely two weeks before the final show on May 15, American Idol 2013 is still being hounded with rumors and news leaving their millions of devoted viewers disappointed more than putting smiles on their faces. From its steady drop of ratings until hitting its all-time low, to keeping least talented contestants and a search for a new judge mid-season.
American Idol is reportedly on the brink of showing its last season this year. But if Idol continues to entertain America and the whole world for Season 13, here are the top things producers ought to keep and eventually improve on to address rating concerns on American Idol.
1. Ryan Seacrest: He is no doubt the core element of the show that makes America's most popular reality TV show a big hit. His wit, combined with good looks and his effortless ability to keep Idol a fun show to watch are just some of the "Ryan-ism" Idol has to consider before making a radical move - - such as replacing him. Never mind that he is America's highest-paid television host, he obviously deserves it. Never mind that Ryan spends more time in the mirror making sure his hair gets done perfectly before air, Ryan is made for the show as much as American Idol is made for him. Ryan creates intrigues and drama just by way he connects one segment after another. No one can do what Ryan does... but Ryan.
2. The Element of Drama. Nothing could be more satisfying from a viewer's point of view than having that feeling that he or she contributes to the development and success of a talent. One way or another, an Idol follower would have that strong feeling that his vote has been a part of the success of a winning idol, even the Top 5 (or Top 10) Finalists.
3. Leave the Brand Alone. From music to stage design and gimmicks that represent American idol. If there's something that need to be changed, it could be the judges, which brings us to number four.
4. New Judges. Randy Jackson has been great and the head judge has no reason to go - - only if he wants to (out of sheer boredom or he just wants to explore new things). American Idol also needs the sensivitiy and sexiness of Aussie Idol Judge, Keith Urban. Idol producers may want to keep him too. Nothing could be sexier than a man who admits to crying when seeing his wife on a red carpet, looking gorgeous while he is away from Nicole Kidman for weeks and only to see her on a live television show. What Idol doesn't want is a Nicki Minaj who tries too hard to be "annoying" just to shine on the judge panel. And a Mariah Carey who is just using the show to propel herself to greatness. Admit it, Mariah no longer has what she had years ago. This could be her "twilight years" as an artist and she must have thought that Idol could help her revive her career. Not if you only know "dahling" when you give your take on an Idol contestant!
5. Keep Looking for Idols. In other words, Season 12 of American Idol can't be the last of American Idol. America needs Season 13 admidst economic, political and violent-related issues that hit the country. The Idol winners who have made their mark in the industry and those who have yet to make a name for themselves, as well as those talents yet undiscovered make what America really is - - the land of hope and American dream in its good sense is kept alive with shows like American Idol.

If you are in the US and you are using a mobile device like a cell phone, a smart phone or a tablet and you make a lot of calls or surf the internet a lot using your mobile device then you most probably are signed up to one of the 4 biggest cellular network carriers available in the country today. While the services of these companies are generally good; there is one issue that a lot of people have with all 4 of them, and that is in terms of cost.Studies show that a lot of people in the US actually pay more for their cellular phone bills every month than they do with other necessities like food and water, which makes it no surprise that a lot of people want to save as much money as possible on these bills.
One of the best networks that you will want to switch to from the big 4 telecommunications companies in the US is Ting, and there are a lot of reasons why you should.
One of the main reasons for this is the fact that Ting is undoubtedly significantly more affordable than other companies. With Ting, you will usually need to pay only half the amount that you would with other companies without losing too much functionality from your mobile phone, if anything at all. This is due to the fact that Ting only charges you with what amounts of data, minutes of calls or number of SMSs that you have sent. Other companies usually charge you a fixed rate for a fixed number of minutes, messages as well as data which you usually do not get to use. With some people, the switch to Ting has given them even more savings, especially for those who can considered to be power users.
Another reason why you will want to switch to Ting is the fact that there service has great network coverage. With other low-cost networks, you would have had to put up with the sever lack of network coverage in certain cases, which can render your mobile device unusable. Ting on the other hand, has partnered with Verizon as well as Sprint; 2 of the largest networks in the US which should provide you with great services while at the same time not compromising on the price of the plan.
Due to how complex mobile communications can be, it cannot be avoided that there may be network or device problems and incompatibilities from time to time that requires support from the network and in terms of support, Ting does not disappoint. The network has support staff in standby to help you with your network issues and should be very helpful in solving your network-related problems right away, allowing you to easily get back to using Ting's great services at the shortest possible time.
If you want to learn more, read up on the latest Ting reviews for you to know if the network has indeed maintained its promise of great services at much more affordable prices.

I've got this
WCHAR fileName[1];
as a returned value from a function (it's a sys 32 function so I am not able to change the returned type). I need to make fileName to be null terminated so I am trying to append '\0' to it, but nothing seems to work.
Once I get a null terminated WCHAR I will need to pass it to another sys 32 function so I need it to stay as WCHAR.
Could anyone give me any suggestion please?
Thanks a lot for all your help. Looks like my problem has to do with more than missing a null terminated string.
//This works:
WCHAR szPath1[50] = L"\\Invalid2.txt.txt";
dwResult = FbwfCommitFile(szDrive, pPath1); //Successful
//This does not:
std::wstring l_fn(L"\\");
//Because Cache_detail->fileName is \Invalid2.txt.txt and I need two
l_fn += L""; //To ensure null terminated
fprintf(output, "l_fn.c_str: %ls\n", l_fn.c_str()); //Prints "\\Invalid2.txt.txt"
iCommitErr = FbwfCommitFile(L"C:", (WCHAR*)l_fn.c_str()); //Unsuccessful
//Then when I do a comparison on these two they are unequal.
int iCompareResult = l_fn.compare(pPath1); // returns -1
So I need to figure out how these two ended up to be different.
Thanks a lot!

The body of 10-year-old Jade Morris was found in a Nevada desert on Thursday, according to family members.
The discovery was made by a man walking his dog near an unfinished housing development in the northern stretches of the Las Vegas Valley, Las Vegas Metro Police said.
Family members told the Black and Missing Foundation that they visually identified the remains for police, who have not yet released a statement positively identifying the body.
"We are heartbroken today. It has been confirmed by family members that the body of ... Jade Morris has been found. We pray for her family," Natalie Wilson, co-founder of the organization, told The Huffington Post.
Wilson said the family wasn't told the cause of death.
Jade was last seen Friday by family members, when she got into a red, 2007 four-door Saab with her father's fiancee, 50-year-old Brenda Stokes, also known as Brenda Wilson. Jade's father was out of town at the time.
"Jade went shopping with [Stokes] at about 4:50 p.m., but by 9 p.m. they had not returned," Morris' godmother, Ni'cola Mitchell, told HuffPost on Wednesday.
When Stokes failed to return with Jade, the little girl's mother contacted police and reported her missing. The girl's mother then learned Stokes had been arrested at the Bellagio casino, following a violent altercation with another woman.
According to the Las Vegas Police Department, Stokes was arrested at about 10 p.m. Friday, accused of slashing the face of friend and co-worker Joyce Rhone, 44, several times with "an edged blade." Rhone was admitted to Sunrise Hospital and Medical Center with deep lacerations to her face, police said.
"Hell, yeah," Stokes told investigators, according to a police report obtained by the Las Vegas Review Journal. "I would have whooped that ass. I would have killed her. I should have killed her."
Stokes was charged with battery with a deadly weapon, battery with use of a deadly weapon with substantial bodily harm and mayhem.
Jade Morris' father interrupted Stokes first court appearance Wednesday, shouting "Where's my baby at?" A Las Vegas Justice Court bailiff ushered him out of the court proceeding.
Stokes was held at the Clark County jail. She has not been charged in connection with Jade's death.

Authorities in Nevada are trying to locate Jade Morris, a 10-year-old girl who was allegedly in the care of a woman who was arrested for stabbing a co-worker at a Las Vegas casino.

Jade Morris is described as an African American female, 5'0" and about 70 pounds with black hair and a medium complexion. Her hair was in two ponytails and she was last seen wearing blue jeans, a blue shirt and a long brown jacket. The Black and Missing Foundation is assisting the family of Jade Morris. The organization is urging anyone with information concerning Morris' whereabouts to contact Las Vegas police at 702-828-3111 or 702-828-2907 or confidentially via their website.

Meat Loaf
Meat Loaf with Creamy Onion Gravy
"This is a culmination of all the meat loaves I've ever eaten," says Andrew Curren, chef-partner of 24 Diner in Austin. "My mom always made a good meat loaf—it never had the tomato goo on top of it. Then I tasted a meat loaf that had cheese in it; that was a good idea. In Italy, I was introduced to soffritto and realized the importance of cooking with carrots, onion, celery." Curren serves the meat loaf with creamy gravy, which is also excellent on lunchtime meat loaf sandwiches.

The Cloudy Status of a "Profits Interest" Holder as an LLC Member▪ Written by Andy Immerman
Cumulus Radio Corp. v. Olson, U.S. Dist. Ct., C.D. Ill., March 10, 2015 The existence of federal jurisdiction in this case turned on whether an individual who held an unvested profits interest in a limited liability company ("LLC"), and whom the LLC considered a partner for tax purposes, was a "member" of the LLC under Delaware law. The case illustrates some of the confusion commonly surrounding the nature of LLCs, LLC membership, and "profits interests." Defendant Alpha at first admitted being a Delaware "corporation," which, if true, would have given the court diversity jurisdiction. [...]Read more

At this CrossFit Invictus Training Camp, longtime Olympic-weightlifting coach Mike Burgener works with one athlete who is not reaching full hip extension and is therefore being pulled forward by the bar. Coach Burgener explains the height of the bar is often less important than the speed with which an athlete can pull under it.
If athletes "lose connection" between the time of hip explosion and getting under bar, Burgener… Continue Reading

The snatch is one of two exercises in the sport of weightlifting. It involves lifting a barbell from the floor up and over your head in one motion. Many hours are spent in the gym practicing the snatch, trying to get as close to perfection as possible. Because the movement is so quick, there is little room for error. The… Continue Reading

Doug Chapman, coach to 2012 Reebok CrossFit Games second-place finisher Julie Foucher, doesn't talk about a shrug or an elbow pull when he teaches the snatch.
"The reason is I have your mind going in too many flippin' places," explains the owner of HyperFit USA/CrossFit Ann Arbor.

Chad Vaughn breaks down the "simplest" of the three Olympic lifts.
In comparison to the snatch and clean, the jerk is theoretically the simplest of the three lifts.
For the jerk, as in the snatch and clean, certain parts of the body have to move out of the way of the bar so it can travel up straight. In other words, these parts have to move around the bar. In the jerk, of course, the head is the only… Continue Reading

Comments Thread For: Jhonny Gonzalez Plans To Celebrate Birthday With Big Win
If theres an upside to dueling cards in Las Vegas on September 15, its that a fighter such as Jhonny Gonzalez benefits from the additional exposure that will come with a showcase appearance on a major premium American network.
The free swinging featherweight titlist is slated for the co-feature slot on the Showtime card headlined by Saul Canelo Alvarez in a 154 lb. title defense against Josesito Lopez. In the chief support, Gonzalez faces Daniel Ponce de Leon. Many believe that not only will it steal the show, but also prove to outshine the middleweight title fight between Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. and Sergio Martinez which headlines a rival show in town that same evening.

Jewel of a garden find in Devon UK
If you are planning on going to the west country in the UK, you must see the Winsford Walled Garden. http://www.winsfordwalledgarden.co.uk/
Winsford is only a short 1/2 hour drive from RHS Rosemoor.
We have just returned from visiting many gardens in Summerset, Devon, Cornwall and one of the most enjoyable stops was to Winsford. Michael and his family have done a remarkable job building a 21 century garden within the structural back drop of a 19 century Victorian walled garden. The plant collection is remarkable with many unusual species arranged in a pleasant manner that you can get ideas for your own garden.
If you find yourself with a Victorian glass house to restore, ask Michael for advice, as he has become an expert at practical DIY restoration of the teak houses in the garden.
The garden I enjoyed the most in Devon was Marwood Hill near Barnstaple. http://www.marwoodhillgarden.co.uk/gallery2/main.php

OpenStreetMap Now in 3D
Users and programmers can now call up three-dimensional landscape models, map data and comprehensive metadata via the OpenStreetMap (OSM) project. The first phase is constructing an open standard-based 3D Geodata Infrastructure (GDI-3D) for entire Germany.
Under the leadership of the cartography research group in the Department of Geography at the University of Bonn, Germany, OSM 3D developers have collected a mass of data from sources such as the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) of the German space agency DLR and made them available through free Geographic Information Systems (GIS) gateways such as the Web 3D Service (OGC W3DS, available as PDF). The server provides the prepared files as 3D topographic maps over the Web to clients that convert them to digital elevation models.
As Professor Alexander Zipf relates to Linux Magazine, "The visualization of the OSM data in 3D occurs in a web viewer (XNavigator) specially made to display W3DS data and was developed in Java. Unlike the server side rendered views typically seen in WebMapServices, a fully interactive and free client side navigation is possible with the streamed data. Because all data is transfered to and rendered in the client, an adequate Internet connection and a current, powerful computer with a graphics card is required."
According to Zipf, the motivation behind the project is to promote user-generated geographical data, improve 3D services and, above all, boost availability of free geodata structures. The interoperable platform should allow 3D modeling of regions as well as cities. Zipf provides an example of five-meter topographic models rendered with textured buildings imported from CityGML with over 6 million buildings in Heidelberg, making it so far the largest 3D city model.

Alan Balutis is senior director and distinguished fellow in Cisco Systems' Internet Business Solutions Group.
Firms such as Gartner and Forrester Research used to describe the evolution of the CIO position as a four-stage process. First came the CIO as director of information management, responsible for back-room IT operations. Next came the CIO as an adjunct of the chief financial officer, who would be the first to recognize how IT could be used to cut costs and reduce staff. Third came the CIO as a peer of the CFO and the line-of-business manager.
Finally came the CIO as the CEO for transformation, using technology to change the way the organization did business. The Clinger-Cohen Act of 1996, which created the CIO position in the federal government, gave that office responsibility for business process re-engineering (along with a number of other responsibilities) to ensure that the CIO would be able to bring about transformation and apply technology to business and management processes.
Unfortunately, many CIOs remain mired in stages one and two. But perhaps there is a silver lining to the current tight budget environment.
Federal CIO Steven VanRoekel said as much during a recent presentation sponsored by the Bethesda, Md., chapter of AFCEA International. He said his office has been trying to focus on how to take the money saved by closing data centers, improving IT management and moving programs to cheaper cloud computing and invest it in new initiatives that deliver better government services.
In a panel discussion after the speech, CIOs from a couple of major departments echoed the upside of doing more with less. Richard Spires, CIO at the Homeland Security Department, said DHS' CIO Council agreed to reduce IT infrastructure spending by 10 percent and put the money into more business and mission-oriented investments. Robert Carey, deputy CIO at the Defense Department, said DOD officials had taken a less structured approach to cutting costs but shared the overall goal of squeezing savings from existing projects so they could invest in new initiatives.
Carey's boss, DOD CIO Teri Takai, speaking at the American Council for Technology/Industry Advisory Council's Excellence.gov awards luncheon in March, reinforced that idea. As agencies prepare for shrinking budgets, technology will be a key component of keeping critical operations running smoothly. But technology won't be enough, she argued. "There must be serious innovation that solves problems in different ways than in the past," Takai said.
So might such innovation be a silver lining in the coming fiscal clouds? I participated in a roundtable discussion on what has been dubbed "decremental budgeting" — that is, the process by which agency officials manage under increasingly reduced budgets. It made me recall my days guiding the management and budget office at the Commerce Department, which has the smallest budget of the Cabinet-level agencies.
Annual budget pressures drove us to continuously innovate. Commerce got rid of seven payroll systems and seven separate personnel systems and cut its processing costs more than half by entering into a cross-servicing agreement with the Agriculture Department's National Finance Center in the early 1980s. We were the first Cabinet-level agency to do so. Commerce also proposed the idea — and ran the initial pilot tests — of using a credit card for small government purchases.
I could go on, but the point should be clear. Budget pressures can be a source of innovation and could allow CIOs to leapfrog into more influential roles at their agencies. It will be interesting to see who takes advantage of the opportunity.
