MPRI Inc. Agrees to Pay $3.2 Million for False LaborCharges on Contract to Support Army in Afghanistan
Printer-friendly versionPDF version
MPRI Inc. has agreed to pay $3.2 million to resolve allegations that it submitted false labor charges on a contract to support the Army in Afghanistan, the Justice Department announced today. MPRI is a Chantilly, Virginia-based company.
"We will not tolerate contractors that bill for work that is not performed," said Assistant Attorney General for the Department of Justice's Civil Division Stuart F. Delery. "The Department of Justice will pursue those who do not comply with the terms of their bargain with the government and restore to the taxpayers the full measure of funds falsely claimed."
The government alleged that MPRI billed for employees who had not worked because they had been granted leave and were out of the country. The alleged false billing occurred between March 2005 and October 2010.
Under its contract with the Army, MPRI was required to provide support to the Army in its efforts to re-design and build from scratch a new Afghan Defense Sector that would establish an Afghan national security system suitable for a modern Western military. Among other things, MPRI was required to provide support for program and financial management, development and implementation of core systems for the Afghan Ministry of Defense and General Staff, intermediate Commands, and sustaining institutions, training in logistics, acquisitions, installation management and intelligence.
"Our job with our partner agencies is to ensure that the government gets what it pays for," said U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Ohio Carter Stewart. "Our office will make every effort to ensure that government contractors submit claims in strict compliance with contract terms and take no liberties in the submission of claims for payment."
The allegations arose from a whistleblower lawsuit filed by Byron Scott Lankford under the False Claims Act, which permits private individuals to bring lawsuits on behalf of the government and to share in the proceeds of any settlement or judgment. MPRI employed Lankford in Afghanistan between 2007 and 2009 as a finance officer and contract support official. Lankford will receive $576,000 as his share of the settlement amount.
The settlement announced today was the result of a coordinated effort by the Justice Department's Civil Division, the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Ohio and an investigative team that included the Defense Criminal Investigative Service and the Defense Contract Audit Agency. The claims settled by this agreement are allegations only, and there has been no determination of liability.

Phoenix, AZ (PRWEB) March 16, 2013
Astro-Clairvoyant Norah Guide with Premium Astrology has been working in the field of spiritual enlightenment since long before the term became one of today's popular buzz words. For decades, Norah Guide has been using her astrological wisdom combined with divination tools and her inner psychic abilities to help men and women all over the globe achieve abundance and prosperity in their lives. For Norah Guide, a reading or report is not simply a churning of birth date information to come up with a symbolic response for one of her client's lives. Norah Guide knows the quest for spiritual enlightenment goes well beyond that, and it is her personal mission to support as many as possible on that path.
As such, Norah Guide has been offering tarot readings on her Google+ page to her readers at no additional cost. Until now, however, Norah has only been providing general readings to the public, with everyone in her Google+ audience getting the same general reading every day. Now, Norah is taking those readings to the next level during Reader's Appreciation Month and is willing to provide each of her Google friends their own personal tarot reading.
Norah Guide affirms that seeking spiritual support in this day and age is a sign of a new awakening on this plane. She contends that the quest for enlightenment that has grown on this planet is just the beginning. This is precisely why Norah Guide has dedicated her Google+ page to discuss significance of symbolism in people's lives through her tarot readings. This year Norah has been taking her Google readers on an in-depth exploration of the tarot.

The racist map of America: Tweets analyzed for offensive keywords reveal the most bigoted parts of the US and which people are the most hated
- The project Geography of Hate was created by cartography students at Humboldt State University
- Students analyzed 150,000 tweets containing hate words sent between June 2012-April 2013
- Researchers looked at usage of 10 slurs in three categories: racist, homophobic and disability
- Use of offensive term n***** was not concentration in any single region, but had pockets of concentration in Iowa and Indiana
Racism, homophobia and general intolerance are not unique to any particular region of the US - that is the conclusion that California college students have reached after mapping out hate speech based on Twitter posts.
Undergraduate students at Humboldt State University analyzed 150,000 geocoded tweets sent out between June 2012 and April 2013 containing 10 pre-selected hate words in three categories: Racism, homophobia and disability.
After processing the data aggregated by the DOLLY Project, the team comprised of three students in Dr Monica Stephens' advance cartography class produced an interactive map as part of The Geography of Hate project.
Mapping bigotry: Undergraduate students at Humboldt State University analyzed 150,000 geocoded tweets containing 10 pre-selected hate words in three categories: Racism, homophobia and disability
Disturbing findings: Researchers discovered 41,306 tweets containing the word 'n*****,' which were not concentrated in any single region of the US
The avoid the pitfall of an algorithm automatically classifying a tweet as negative if it contains a 'hate word,' the organizers of the project relied on students to read the entirety of the message for context before deciding if is tweet is in fact hateful.
Only words unequivocally deemed as 'hate speech' were used in the creation of the map. That way, a phrase like 'dykes on bikes,' for example, was left out of the data used in the project because it referenced a gay pride event in San Francisco.
To produce the map, all tweets containing each 'hate word' were aggregated to the county level and normalized by the total Twitter traffic in each county.
Human touch: Since an algorithm would automatically classify a tweet as negative if it contains a 'hate word,' the organizers of the project had the students to read the entirety of the message before deciding if is hateful
America's true colors: Where there is a larger proportion of negative tweets referencing a particular 'hate word' the region appears red; where the proportion is moderate, the area is shaded a pale blue
Where there is a larger proportion of negative tweets referencing a particular 'hate word' the region appears red on the map; where the proportion is moderate, the word was used less and appears a pale blue on the map.
Areas without shading indicate places that have a lower proportion of negative tweets relative to the national average.
Researchers discovered 41,306 tweets containing the word 'n*****', 95,123 referenced 'homo', among other terms.
Tweets that included the slur 'n*****' used for African-Americans were not concentrated in any single region in the US; instead, there are a number of pockets of concentration, including East Iowa, where 31 users sent out 41 tweets referencing the word, and Fountain, Indiana, where there were 22 tweets containing the slur.
Pockets of hatred: Most of the tweets containing the word 'wetback ' - an offensive term of illegal Mexican immigrants - came from several parts of Texas
Perhaps the most interesting concentration comes for references to 'wetback' - a derogatory term used for illegal Mexican immigrants. Most tweets containing the offensive term came from several parts of Texas, which surprisingly are not even close to the Mexican-American border.
Under the category of racism, besides 'n***** and 'wetback' students also looked at the usage of such slurs as 'chink' and 'gook' refering to Chinese and Korenas, respectively, and 'spick,' which is an offensive term for Hispanics.
The word 'chink' was concentrated in Central Minnesota, where 19 users referenced the slurs in a total of 23 tweets.

What does 20 wins (on a team that didn't win 75), a sub-3.00 ERA, a strikeout an inning, and being named a Cy Young Finalist get you? On the trading block apparently. From @Ken_Rosenthal Sources: #Mets showing little interest in signing Dickey to extension, discussing him in trades, as @Joelsherman1 reported. At first glance, this seems like a foolish move, but evaluating the following: 1) He's been extended at $5M for next season, a bargain (for suitors) if he produces at his 2012 level. 2) He is 38 years old, so an extension would mean you're discussing years well into his 40′s. 3) The Mets appear nowhere near ready to compete in the NL East. 4) He has exactly 2 season with 10 wins or more. 5) He currently pitches in the pitcher-friendly Citi Field If the Mets were to get just about anything under the age of 30 or a couple of good regulars (for their depleted lineup) it's not a bad thought. And a contender in need of a starter (and who isn't) could use a weapon like this to riddle opponents. One note about his age, knuckleballers have pitched well into their 40′s in the past (Perry, Niekro for instance) so even extending for 3 or 4 years beyond this isn't necessarily a bad deal. But I would be hesitant to overpay for someone who might lose the feel for the pitch and vastly underachieve. -Dave (@lhd_on_sports) The post Mets shopping R.A.

Great Bend Fire Department
Historic buildings in downtown Great Bend provide a glimpse into the city's interesting past. Nostalgic and handsome, they stand tall and distinct along the heart of Main Street and surrounding blocks. But building facades can only reveal so much. Local businesswoman Tammy Hammond has taken steps to enhance that glimpse by telling stories through a series of five bronze sculptures that she has collectively titled, "A Lifetime."
St. Mark Lutheran Church in Great Bend is hosting its annual "Roast Beef Dinner" on Sunday, Feb. 24, in the Church Fellowship Hall, 2101 Jackson St. Serving will be from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Dominican Sisters of Peace will show the award-winning motion picture "Doubt" at 6:15 p.m. Friday, Feb. 22, in the auditorium of the Motherhouse, 3600 Broadway Ave. A freewill donation is requested. Refreshments and discussion will follow the movie, which has a run time of 104 minutes.

Dear Editor,
Dear Editor,
It is likely safe to assume many reading this headline already know what it signifies. This year K-State celebrates its 150th year as a land-grant institution. There are a multitude of celebrations and events planned over the year to commemorate this "birthday." If you are interested in events coming up simply visit k-state.edu/150/ on the web for details. So what do these 150 years mean to the state of Kansas. And not just Kansas since there is a land-grant presence in every state in the union.
DODGE CITY - The Great Bend High School boys' and girls' bowling teams took home Western Athletic Conference titles after winning the conference tournament on Thursday afternoon.

March 15-21, 2015, marks the 10th anniversary of the nationally commemorated Sunshine Week in which open government proponents throughout our nation point with pride at transparency breakthroughs, but are equally alarmed about setbacks to the people's right to know what their government is up to.
column discusses how soil acidity changes as producers have managed it for crop production since Kansas was settled. We will focus on were soil pH started, how converting the land to crop production changed pH, and the role of evolving cultural practices. It may be helpful to refer to the previous two columns.
News that more than 40 countries have banned poultry imports from Minnesota after a lethal strain of avian influenza was confirmed in a turkey flock there has now been compounded by news of confirmed cases in Missouri and Arkansas turkeys.
Since the approval of the Community Orchard, I have been spending time researching and planning how to start the process. We decided on a date to get our young trees into the ground, so to celebrate, I thought I would share with you ten rules for planting trees. Our plant date for the orchard is Saturday, April 11, at 1 p.m. if you are interested in helping get this community project started. You can call the Extension office at 620-793-1910 for more information. We hope to see you there!

Linux in the Real World
Although the layout system is running WfW and typesetting is running Linux, the file transfer is completely transparent to both departments, just like printing. This is made possible by Samba.
In the most basic sense, everything in the office uses TCP/IP as the underlying protocol. Windows for Workgroups speaks SMB (Session Message Block protocol), a protocol which uses TCP/IP. In order for Linux to speak SMB, we run Samba. Samba is a free implementation of the SMB protocol for Unix. It was developed by Andrew Tridgell in 1992 in an attempt to mount disk space from a Sun to a PC running Pathworks. [See Linux Journal Issue 7 for an account of Samba's development—ED] The Linux filesystem appears as network drives to WfW.
So Samba is used to seamlessly transfer the PostScript files from the WfW system to the Linux machine that drives the AGFA imagesetter. This is essentially a camera with a laser instead of a lens; it uses the laser to expose a large sheet of photographic film. There is one sheet of film for each black and white page and four sheets of film for each color page. This film is what is mailed to the printing company.
Once a magazine is finished, the files are archived on an Iomega Zip drive via Samba. The Zip drive is a removable 100 MB magnetic disk drive, much like a monster floppy, which is connected through a SCSI interface to the same Linux workstation that connects to the imagesetter. It connects to any SCSI-2 controller and acts like any other SCSI device. It is slightly slower than a typical hard drive but faster than some old MFM/RLL drives.
The ZIP disks are mounted on the Linux system like any other Linux filesystem. Linux views the new drive as a mounted partition of an existing drive. It can then be added to the Windows for Workgroups system, where the ZIP drive is seen as another network drive.
Besides Linux Journal, SSC publishes a series of books and references, primarily on Linux and Unix. Most of these products are done using troff and/or groff. The exceptions are the LDP (Linux Documentation Project) books, which are done in LaTeX, and the Internet Public Access Guide, which was done in Quark Express.
Again, we produce film directly at SSC to ship to the printer. One of the more interesting recent innovations was the ability to produce spot color separations using groff. This came about when we were updating the Korn Shell Reference. This card is in four colors. Besides the additional cost of having the printer produce the separations it was going to be very hard to proof a multi-color card if only black and white output was available.
Work on the part of Arnold Robbins and SSC staff produced an easy way to write the color changes directly in the groff source. With two targets in the Makefile, one for printing the color output and one for producing the color-separated film, we were able to accomplish the desired task. These changes require groff and won't work with troff, since they are done by including raw PostScript commands in the groff source.
Many people may be asking why we continue to produce products using what many consider outdated tools. For those who really use the Unix environment, groff offers some advantages. For example, many of our recent products have been written by authors located far away from our Seattle offices. By using groff, we can send small ASCII files and use tools like diff to only send changes between locations. It also means we don't need multiple copies of expensive layout programs to accomplish the task.
Our office manager uses QuickBooks to do our accounting. Why? Because it was available and inexpensive. She uses DOSemu on her Linux workstation for this task, allowing her to quickly switch back and forth between QuickBooks and, for example, her e-mail. In the future we hope to convert this task over to some software that runs on Linux, but for the moment, this offers a reasonable solution.
We have much planned for Linux in the future. For example, we currently do credit card verification off-line. We hope to write the necessary software to do this directly from a Linux system. We also hope that Progress will be ported to Linux. If this doesn't happen we will probably re-write our database system using a database that runs on Linux.
In conclusion, no, we don't use Linux for everything. But we come pretty close. Linux has proven inexpensive, easily expandable and reliable. For those who thought we didn't use Linux to produce the magazine, now you know. With all but one of our employees sitting at a Linux console every day, I think we practice what we preach rather well.

There are so many methods employed in viewing a website, from personal computers to cell phones; I make sure all my sites comply to the latest technologies to be ready at your finger tips, any time you need it to be.
I'm here when you need me, not when it's convinient for me. I can be reached by phone, sms, mms, instant message, email, and a multitude of social networks. Get in touch with me anytime, any day, for any reason.
All sites I design/develop/host are fully maintained by me. I am local to my data center and can be there within 5 minutes walking if necessary. You can rest assured that I take pride in the servers I build. If I'm not happy with it, it doesn't go live.
Let's face it, today is an age where everybody is online and 'surfing the net'. Couple that with all the new handheld devices, like PDA's, smartphones, tablets, and even game systems; companies cannot afford to not be at the forefront of technology. Websites are easier to maintain, less expensive than print, and easier to get noticed. 1.6+ billion people daily view web pages from all over the world, don't you think it's time to get a slice of that pie? I work closely with my clients to design beautiful, modern & responsive websites and web applications.
I adhere to the strictist of coding standards and highly comment everything I write in case my clients decide to go elsewhere. If I don't know what does what, how would anyone else?
Each of my machines contain multiple multi-core Xeon processors, with a ton of Ram, and a ton disk space. I run the latest Ubuntu Server operating system, so rest assured that stability and performance are priority.
With over 14 years of development, programming, design, and over 22 years of electronics/server/desktop management experience rest assured that you will be well taken care of.

I take alot of pride in what I do, so should you. There really is nothing like being able to take a step back from something you build and being proud of it. I'll work closely with you to make sure you get what you expect, and reach the base you want to reach. Everything I design and develop is mobile and desktop friendly, and will exceed your expectations.
Couple that with 15 years of experience in this ever-evolving internet and you've got yourself a someone who is proud to take pride in what he does.
Staying up to date with the latest technologies is no easy feat. Years of study, mistake making, and learning how to fix said mistakes have kept me learning new methods and technologies as they emerge. The web especially changes almost exponentially as a result I learn new tricks, methods, and technologies on a daily basis.
Just like with life, nobody is perfect, and although we can strive to achieve perfection it is impossible. I will never say I am the best at anything, and it is because of the ever-evolving technologies that I can make this claim, as well, as have the guts to say it.
My servers are built by me, and I trust myself to know my equipment. Top that off with the fact that I am available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and live at my datacenter. I have over 14 years of development experience as well as over 22 years of electronics and computer system experience, and although I may not know everything, I am proud to admit that fact, and am always willing to learn new tricks. =)
Since I use cPanel and CentOS alot now a days, I want to make sure that I have a handy place I can keep and search for anything I might need for configuring or managing the servers. Without any further ado, I present you the most comprehensive list of cPanel Stuff, I have ever seen ;) Configurations and Services They Are Tied To CPanel Configuration File: cpanel.config Path: /var/cpanel/cpanel.config Service: cpanel Apache Default Port: 80 Configuration File: httpd.conf Path: /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf Or /usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf Service: ...
These are the step that I took to create a SVN server using CentOS 7, while attaching drives as repositories instead of creating a monstrous system drive and importing everything there. If you follow to a "T", you too can have the play-ground I have =) I will lay out my exact steps, including creating the virtual machine I used for this. If you are currently using a VM or dedicated machine then you can skip those steps. I imagine this would work on CentOS 5 and up, but don't quote me on that. 1. Create VirtualBox Virtual Machine a. Have a CentOS ISO ...
Been awhile since I've posted anything... holy moly has it! So, as I am sure most of you are aware, I am a programmer/developer by heart and soul, so it was only a matter of time before I started (finally) getting into doing some tweaking for Android devices. As a result, I have made up a set of "tweaks" for my Note 3 that have it running creamy smooth like buttah ;) It all started with my Galaxy S4 actually, but since i don't have that beast anymore, I did it for my Note 3. What does it do Kev? Vacuum's SQLite every 4 days Zip-Aligns all User Data APK's every 3 days (if you ...
Post revisions This is a weakness of WordPress. On this site there are over 30,000 revisions for the 14,000 posts. That makes the table bigger and it's slower to search in it. WordPress users realized this three years ago. Tip #1 We backed up the the wp_posts table and then used a simple MySQL command to remove old post revisions. This decreased the table size from 400MB to 120MB: DELETE FROM `wp_posts` WHERE post_type = 'revision' AND post_date NOT LIKE '2012-%' Long-term solution There are WordPress plugins which can limit the number of revisions per post. We think that the WordPress ...
Need a good way to resize your uploaded image? While keeping the height/width ratio? Why would you need to do this? Well, like most of you, I did not need to keep full sized images that I upload on page, and needed a good way to create thumbnails, and resize the originals down to a more manageable, more web friendly size. This will do the trick... no words of caution, no instructions, just code... use it how you like :) <?php function ResizeImage($inputFile, $filepath, $ext, $maxWidth, $maxHeight){ /* Get some details about the image */ $srcDetails = ...
I found myself needing a really simple way to pull in my sites menu, but also wanted the ability to have some placeholders for the links as well. The following code should be created as a snippet, and called un-cached [[!YOUR_SNIPPET_NAME]] What's it do? Well, simply put it generates a navigation block, and throws all your ModX site page links into a hierarchal un-ordered list of link items. As well, as generates a bunch of dynamic placeholders in case you have a need for them. Note: the snippet needs to be called, prior to placing any placeholders in your content. How Do I Use ...
UPDATE 2.0!!! Wow, just realized it's been awhile since i posted anything... well kiddies, time for some new code. Although I have grown up loveing, carressing, and mutilating Visual Basic, I have decided to take a stab at some C# since most of my projects lately have comes across in the form of PHP. While I do love VB still, I am starting to fall hard for some C# sexyness (<- spelling). I have a VB version of what I am about to post as well, and though the language structure is different, there really aren't very many differences between the 2. I thought I may get some sort of ...
Since I am currently running into this issue right now as I type this, I though I would share my experiences with moving a ModX Revolution site from one server to another. It is not an easy task, but can be accomplished rather easily. The first thing you will need to do is to verify that your new server has PHP and MySQL installed, along with the PDO drivers. Next step is to search through your current database and change any physical paths it may contain to point to your new directory structure on the new server. Once you have this done you are ready to do a mysqldump, if you have ...
I have become quite the ModX lover lately, I use it to run my site, as well as a great number of client websites and find that it is extremely speedy, easy to use (from my perspective), and easy to teach. There are a few things I don't like about it, but this post is not about that (well... at least not all of them :)). This post is about SEO and URL Friendliness. Now ModX has a great built-in way to allow us to have friendly URLs for our content resources, however, by default all HTML content pages are given the .html extension. While this normally is not a big deal, I am a bit of a ...
Well kiddies time for another installment into my mind. :) Today I am going to tell you how I managed to install Windows 2008 R2 Server on a virtual machine on my Ubuntu Server. Being a developer jack-of-all-trades I needed to have a very stable environment for some of the sites I develop, but still allow myself to develop for Microsoft. Yes, I went the ways of Linux... infinately more stable as a server environment than windows is ;) You too can still have and develop for windows even if you have a Linux box. It's not that hard to do, but it's also not that easy, there were times ...

Chocolate Habs ripening -- Thanks Ottawapepper!
The many weeks of waiting for my little pods to start changing from green to brown is over! They say good things come to those who wait, and I can't think of a better example of this being true than habaneros!
A special thanks to Ottawapepper for donating the seeds to me (in 2009!!). After a long hiatus from growing stuff, I planted one chocolate hab seed this year. It sprouted and took off -- a100% germination rate! :)
Needless to say it's very exciting to watch the pods changing. My mouth is already watering.
LOL johnpo,
You threw me with the title of your post... I was scratching my head thinking when was the last time I shared Chocolate Hab seeds??? 2009 eh, I didn't keep good records back then.
Nice to hear you had 100% germination starting one seed ;-)
The plant / pod look great. Let us know how it tastes.
ps. Thanks for the shout out, much appreciated.
I ate the first dozen pods to come off the plant... They were absolutely stunning. So much flavor compared to the store-bought orangies that are everywhere. Bright and crisp flavor, and the peppers have much thicker walls.
Here's a link to a time-lapse movie of one of the pods ripening. The middle 40 seconds is the part where the pod is full size but stays green seemingly for ever (it took about 3 weeks, maybe even closer to 4 for that 40 seconds to elapse).
Here is a link that might be useful: Pod ripening - time lapse
As for sunlight, the plant has been getting... (glurnk! Should I admit this??)... purely fluorescent lighting from an Aerogarden! I can't recommend the Aerogarden after all the trouble I've had with it, but I have to admit I'm very surprised at how well the pepper plant has done. All the other plants in it are dead, but the pepper plant has extended as much over the top of the light hood as there is space between the hood and the base, which is considerable.
As with all the peppers I've grown indoors, I have to hand-pollinate to get any pods, and the success rate is tear-jerkingly low, but indoor growing is my only option.

Our room was very loud. We were unable to sleep. Beds were rock hard. Our bathroom lights would not stay on and the shower head sprayed everywhere. Our front door was hard to open it kept sticking we called maintenance he couldn't even fix it. The castle inn could be beautiful if the rooms were upgraded. He also had hardly any tv channels and mist of them were fuzzy

Our experience with the hotel was not bad. I really appreciated the hot tub after a long day on my feet. I did not appreciate the terribly uncomfortable bed in our room; one bed was ok, the other was as hard as the floor. For that specific reason I'd be hesitant to return to this hotel when we come back.

Over the past six months, we've discussed the problems that plague Prada's handbag business (and, therefore, its business at large) on a number of occasions. Chiefly among them are the brand's reliance on saffiano leather, which is not really a luxury material, and the lack of diversity in its bag mix.
Prada Handbags and Purses
Last week, I spoke with Chavie Lieber of Racked about Prada's current profit woes, much of which are tied to the recent underperformance of the leather goods that make up roughly 40% of Prada's business. Lieber also talked to PB contributor Pattie Rechtman, luxury shoppers and industry analysts, and we all more or less agreed: Prada needs to do something about its handbag offerings.
Here's Selena Gomez, flying out of Paris via Charles de Gaulle Airport after attending the Louis Vuitton show on the final day of Paris Fashion Week. She's wisely chosen a black calf leather Prada Saffiano Double Zip Executive Tote for her international travel needs.
Here's actress/rock star progeny Lily Collins, arriving at LAX with one of her minders, carrying a muted grey Prada Saffiano Cuir Tote that matches her highly inconspicuous giant grey wool hat and grey suede coat. This particular model is new for Fall 2014, and it appears it's currently only available for purchase from Prada's website.
As of late, financial news for Prada hasn't been great. According to Fashionista, the brand's overall growth was just 1% in early 2014, which is well below what investors would generally hope for in a luxury sector that's seen sustained expansion overall in recent seasons.
Prada's handbags tend to be overwhelmingly staid; the brand has positioned itself, season after season, as the source for work-appropriate power bags for women with corner offices (or corner office aspirations), and although Miuccia allows for an artistic departure here and there, whimsy is usually not her stock in trade.
In spite of the fact that I'm generally willing to give Miuccia Prada the benefit of the doubt on almost anything (those ill-advised, open-toe Miu Miu cowboy boots from a couple of seasons ago are a notable exception), I wasn't really feeling most of Prada's Fall 2014 runway bags.
Here's Kerry Washington, attending a private party in LA with a Prada Face Mural Shoulder Bag, which was one of the most eye-catching pieces from the brand's Spring 2014 collection. The line has long since sold out, but it was so popular that Prada is doing some more girl clutches and things for the upcoming season, like this close-up version: the Napa Zip Girl Clutch, which is currently available at Bergdorf Goodman for $1,195.
Here's actress Famke Janssen, coming out of a fancy pet supply store in NYC with her adorable senior pup, Licorice. Her bag is a mint blue Prada Saffiano Gardener's Tote, which is extremely similar to the Prada Executive Tote we saw Taylor Swift carrying recently.
Our by-the-minute Taylor Swift bag coverage continues this week (of course). If you haven't been following along, Taylor is now shamelessly baiting New York paps on a daily basis with great bags, shoes and clothes. (OR, she's just trying to live her life as stylishly as possible, and an army of paps just happen to be following along.) If you know anything about pap life, you probably know that shots of celebs with nice bags or otherwise recognizable clothing sell well, for reasons you can probably guess.

Rain barrel: mosquito control
I have two rain barrels that are connected. Should I be concerned about insects breeding in them. I had thought about buying the mosquito dunks that can be used in ponds and bird baths.
Mosquito Dunks
as long as you have screens over the openings (tight mesh like window screen), and the water never fills up near the mesh (permitting access to the water through the mesh) it should be fine. if no mosquito can fly in, it can't breed. if a moquito does manage to lay eggs in the water, the resulting offspring shouldn't be able to fly out.
Mosquitoes can go down the gutters and down spout. They can lay eggs in a bottle cap of water.
I use the dunks in my pond. Fish can not eat the eggs and mosquitoes fast enough. I use them in my rain barrels also. But in a pinch I have put vegetable oil on a rag and suspended it in the rain barrels. It smothers the eggs and mosquitoes.
I also use the BackYard spray.
We are in an area that has lots of mosquitoes. A lot of lakes and ponds and swimming pools. Horse troughs, goats etc. That have to have water for drinking.
Tell me more about the veggie oil on the rag and how and why it works. I have two rain barrels, one is graywater and alas both have overflowed enough to have gone through the mesh & yes mosquitos have increased because of it. I want to get right with my graywater barrels and not breek skeeters!
Thanks for all the tips you can provide to this rain barrel and graywater newbie!

John Wall's absence has not helped Washington's struggles.credit: washingtonpost.com It's still early in the NBA season, yet far enough in where every team should have at least one win. Well, unless you're the Washington Wizards. So far, the team is 0-11, making them the worst team in the league. A lot of people didn't think they would be much of a threat in the East. But they also weren't supposed to be this awful. Rookie Bradley Beal is taking it just as hard as anyone. Via The Washington Post: "We just lost. Everybody hates losing. You just see the guys faces, it's like depression. We haven't won a game yet," Beal said. "We still have [71] more games. It's still a long season. We still have our opportunity to get over .500. Right now, it's our goal we have to shoot for, is to probably get into the playoffs. We're going to make it. I have faith in this team. I have confidence in us. I think we're more than capable of doing it, with the assets that we have. As long as guys keep buying in and never give up, we'll be fine." Yikes. To be fair, the team has been without it's best player and former number one overall pick, John Wall, due to injury. Additionally, big man Nene has only played in two games, and has only played limited minutes in those two games. Bradley Beal has struggled as much as anyone, shooting only 33% from the field. This team isn't stacked, but they're talented enough when healthy that they shouldn't be historically awful. The question now is this: Who will be the team to give the Wizards their first win? -Mark Evans, Assistant Manager/Editor of Content Follow us on Twitter The post Bradley Beal On Team's Struggles: "It's Like Depression" appeared first on Pass The Pill.

Contest Takes SXSW Experience Outside of Austin
Spring Break is upon us, and the destination of choice for geeks to take their annual spring sojourn is the South by Southwest Interactive Festival in Austin. Not all those who wish to go will get the expense approved and instead will end up stuck sifting through a barrage of blog posts and event hashtags in order to get their SXSW fix. Showing some compassion for those techs left out in the cold, technology assessment company TrueAbility is launching a skills contest aimed at bringing the competition and prizes often found in the exhibit booths in Austin, to Linux administrators anywhere.
Appropriate with it's Texas theme, the Linux Showdown is a five-day event that pits online challengers against each other and SXSW attendees with the goal of solving a simulated server administration crisis. The top five finishers each day will win a Raspberry Pi, and the top 15 finishers each day will be invited to compete in an online final on March 14 to win a MacBook Air, 256G SSD Drive, or Pivos Android Media server for first, second and third place, respectively.
Event organizers say that each contestant is limited to 20 minutes to solve the problem successfully, and that competitors will be ranked by their score and completion times. For anyone wishing they could be there, this seems like a good way to enjoy a bit of SXSW from the comfort of your home or office.
The Linux Showdown opens today, and runs through March 12. To sign-up or for more information, visit the Linux Showdown page at trueability.com/linuxshowdown

A Super Bowl ad provides an impressive platform from which to create and build your brand. Stories are an integral component of this process.
Super Bowl broadcasters and advertisers love stories. The broadcasters love Cinderella teams and bench players who come through at a critical moment to help their team win the big game. Marketers and advertisers spend big bucks on Super Bowl ads due to their high visibility and massive reach. And the most effective of these ads reach out and grabs viewers' attention by building a story around their brand. Competing with viewing parties, food, drink, and the call of nature, these high-priced media buys try to win our hearts and our pocketbooks in 30 seconds or less.
Over its 45-year history, the Super Bowl has acted as a wonderful branding platform. Apple cemented the brand image of the new Macintosh computer with its groundbreaking 1984 Super Bowl ad.
But there have been many other Super Bowl ads that created lasting impressions, from Coke's touching "Mean Joe Green" commercial in 1979 to last year's amusing Snickers ad featuring Betty White.
The one thing these memorable advertisements had in common was that they all used a story to create viewer involvement and convey a strong brand image. For Apple, the image was as a brave innovator, for Coke, it was as a brand with an emotional connection, and for Snickers, it was as an enabler of energetic fun.
5 Ways to Build Brands With Stories
Stories are at the core of strong branding because they help break through message overload and grab our attention. In large part this is attributable to the story-telling factors that we've listened to since we were children. Here are five story-related elements that are critical to brands.
5 Ways to Keep Your Brand's Story Alive
To build your brand and its story once you've made the investment in a Super Bowl ad, here are five options to consider. To be most effective, it's useful to use multiple platforms to reinforce your brand message.
6 Story-Related Brand Metrics
As with any advertising strategy, it's critical to measure your results. One of the advantages of the major media spend involved is that Super Bowl ads attract a lot of interest in terms of post-game viewing online and in the media. That said, you must determine your metrics as part of building your strategy and ensure that they track your progress. Here are six metrics to consider.
A Super Bowl ad provides an impressive platform from which to create and build your brand. Stories are an integral component of this process. Stories can be useful for positioning your product since they enhance its presence and provide emotional attachment and consistency.
How do you feel about using stories to build brands? Please include your ideas and suggestions in the comment section below.
Happy marketing,

Name this plant
This plant was given to us at a wedding a year ago and was just a sprout. We were told it was a mum.
My fiancé and I have grown to love growing housr plants in put apt. We have a boxwood on the deck, an elephant bush, lucky bamboo, a Chinese evergreen, and a philodendron.
We both feel this is definitely not a mum, and don't know the best way to care for it.
Smish, I agree with Pelargonium about Kalanchoes being short-day plants.
Do you summer plants outdoors?
I don't bother with short days inside..chance of forgetting.
Instead, my Kals remain outside until first frost. Since days shorten until winter approaches, most Kals bloom from late Feb until July.
IMO, most Kals bloom, given short days or not, However,
K. blossfeldiana requires short days before flowering.
Pelargonium. Did you choose your screen name because you love/grow Pels? Toni
Hey i wanted to update on this plant. Yes toni, we summer outdoors on a deck. It grew huge, so huge over the summer. We are wintering it in a WNW window(best we have). If it doesn't thrive in this light, we have some lights we can supplement with. Night temps are random here lately. 3 or 4 nights a week below freezing, 3 or 4 nights in the 50s....... bi-polar weather!!
We are giving the long night treatment a try, Started last night, with a 14 hour night.
Will update with blooms, I am curious to see exactly how long it takes from the start of long nights till full bloom!
First, I'd like to make a correction regarding my above comment.
Certain Kalanchoes are short day plants, but not all. Sorry about that.
However, Smish, your Kalanchoe, 'which is gorgeous,' looks like blossfeldiana, so short days are needed.
But, Kals aren't as fussy about exact daylight time, as Poinsetta. And in some cases, Amaryllis and Thanksgiving Cactus.
I think my Kalancho, 'below pic,' is blossfeldiana..I don't do anything special other than keep outside until first, and sometimes second frost. If the garage light is turned on at night, it doesn't effect flowering.
Hey, your bi-polar zone 7 sounds like our bi-polar zone 5. Amazing!
Good luck, Toni
