These are presumably the best five high school players in the state, but one of them didn't even make the DNews all state first team in 3A? Logan Stott is a four star on Rivals, ranked #9 in the country at his position, is on the all USA under 19 team, nominated for the Under Armour and the US Army bowls, recruited by every major D1 program and a PAC 12 commit, but he doesn't make the DNews all state first team? If that isn't proof that the all state teams are a joke, nothing could be.

My favorite historical fact is that how power shifts from one to another. Romans ruled, then the British, then the US. I love history because our past helps us predict the future and we can hopefully avoid making some mistakes in the future.
Something in history that I believe isn't true? Well I don't know if you consider this a fact or even history because it was only 50 years ago but I believe that the Soviet Union won the space race. They put the first satellite into orbit, first animal into orbit, first human into orbit, first woman into orbit. The only thing that the US won was first person on the moon. So I guess that's the thing in history that I believe isn't true.

Council considers future of Tomingley water supply
The Narromine council says the water supply in Tomingley will continue to be non potable, even if a local mine development goes ahead with plans to build a pipeline.
- Print page
- Email this
- Permalink
There has been some confusion and concerns about the supply recently, because the council is required to notify health authorities that the water is not fit for consumption.
Mayor Bill McAnally says there has been no change to the status of the water as it has always been non potable.
He says it will likely be the case if Alkane Resources builds a pipeline as part of its Tomingley Gold project.
"With the mine opening up over there and a pipeline going in that will go through Tomingley, there is an opportunity there to access that pipeline but that water will still be non-potable, will still have to go through the filtration and all that," he said.
"So that's what we'll be looking at now.
"The water's good quality and all that, just that it's non potable."
He says the council will consider upgrading water treatment works at Tomingley, if the pipeline is built.
"The cost of doing that, and anything that you put over there if the mine moves out, well the mine won't have that water access to it all the time so we'll still have use the spring water that we've got there.
"So, it does become a problem trying to set up what we would like over that but we will go back and review all that once the mine is going."

Police are reportedly open to the possibility of compensation for the family of Christchurch murder victim Philip Nisbet.
Canterbury police have already admitted they failed in their original investigation into the Christchurch truck driver's death at his Halswell home in May 2009.
Officers initially ruled the 47-year-old had killed himself, but the case was reopened in 2011 after new findings from the coroner and an investigation by Nisbet's sister, Lee-Anne Cartier.
Nisbet's wife, Helen Milner, was found guilty of his murder by the Christchurch High Court in December - four-and-a-half years after his death.
Cartier said today that she had received an apology from police, but still wanted a public apology from the officers who messed up the initial investigation.
''There has been an apology from their bosses, but not from them. It's like mum and dad covering for their kids ... it means nothing. It's not sincere.''
Last month, Cartier told The Press that she planned to sue police for the hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars she had spent trying to find out the truth about her brother's death.
She said today that the issue of costs was ''in the hands of my lawyer'' and she was unable to discuss the matter further at this stage.''At the moment this is going to stay between me and police,'' she said.
Detective Inspector Tom Fitzgerald confirmed discussions had taken place with Nisbet's family over compensation for costs incurred.However, nothing had been resolved yet, he said.
Helen Milner, 50, will be sentenced for Nisbet's murder and attempted murder in the Christchurch High Court on February 20.

Phoenix International Raceway President Bryan R. Sperber announced in November that the track would sponsor UFC bantamweight champion Dominick Cruz during his upcoming title fight expected to take place this summer. Sperber announced that PIR's logo will be visible on Cruz's trunks and on his sponsorship banner that will be posted in the Octagon prior to the start of the fight.
Cruz, who served as Honorary Pace Car Driver for the Nov. 11 AdvoCare 500 at Phoenix International Raceway, will perform the same duties during this weekend's SUBWAY Fresh Fit 500 on March 3.
"We are very excited to be sponsoring Dominick Cruz in his upcoming championship fight to retain the UFC bantamweight title," said Sperber. "We believe this is the first time that a track has sponsored a UFC fighter and the fact that Dominick is both an Arizonan and a NASCAR fan made this a great opportunity for us to support him."
Born and raised in Tucson, Arizona, Cruz, 27, has compiled a 19-1-0 professional record and has ascended to the top of his profession with wins over Demetrius Johnson, Urijah Faber, Scott Jorgensen, Joseph Benavidez and Brian Bowles. Outside of the Octagon, Cruz considers himself a NASCAR fan and has attended races at Phoenix International Raceway.
"I'm excited to have a legendary venue like Phoenix International Raceway in my corner as I prepare for my next fight," said Cruz. "Being from Arizona and being a NASCAR fan, it's going to be an honor to wear the PIR logo on my trunks when I step into the Octagon."
Additional information on race weekend activities is available on Phoenix International Raceway's official website at www.phoenixraceway.com.

Peter Layde, M.D., M. Sc., professor of emergency medicine, associate chair for global and public health, and co-director of the Injury Research Center, has been named the first Ombudsman of The Medical College of Wisconsin. The role of an Ombuds is to serve as a confidential, impartial and informal resource for faculty, staff physicians, postdoctoral fellows and staff with whom to voice concerns. The Ombuds also provides information on institutional policies and practices, assists in examining alternatives and solutions and identifies proper resources to help resolve situations.
Dr. Layde joined the Medical College faculty in 1993 as a professor in the department of family and community medicine and the Health Policy Institute. An accomplished researcher, he has more than 25 years of experience conducting epidemiological research, primarily in the area of injury control and has authored more than 160 papers. Prior to joining the Medical College, Dr. Layde was Director of the Division of Chronic Disease Control at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, and Chair of the Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics at the Marshfield Clinic.
Dr. Layde is a long-standing educator at the Medical College, and directs courses in epidemiology, injury research and prevention, and health policy. He is a member of the American College of Epidemiology, the American College of Preventive Medicine, and the American Epidemiological Society.
John R. Raymond, Sr., MD, CEO and President of the Medical College, believes the newly formed Office of the Ombuds fills a critical need with regard to transparency, confidentiality, cultural sensitivity and organizational stewardship.
"Our ongoing commitment to collaboration, cooperation and the highest standards of education, research and care will be strengthened considerably by the addition of a dedicated Ombuds position," said Dr. Raymond.
"I am excited that under Dr. Layde's leadership, he will work to ensure our faculty and staff have the tools they need to achieve their goals within a supportive environment."
Dr. Layde will continue his current work in global and public health at the Medical College. His appointment is effective October 15, 2011.

Hi Guys, slight printer problem. I have an HP F4580, (which works perfectly), but fancied an upgrade. So I bought an HP 4500. I've installed this onto my PC. The idea was to install the HP F4580 onto the wife's PC. The software loaded OK, but the new hardware wizard pops up and just kind of flickers on the screen. For ages.I've left it doing this for four hours and no joy. Seems the PC doesn't recognise the printer. The PC in question runs Windows XP. Please advise. the wife's giving me grief. Needs the printer for course work asap!

Sometimes, these things can be picky about whether you install the software first, or plug in the hardware first, or plug in the hardware at a specific time during the installation. Are you sure you're getting it right? (e.g. if you plugged the printer in before installing the software, you might want to try installing the software before plugging it in). It's a small chance...

Thanks Ian. I followed the prompts and plugged in usb when told to do so. Basically did what I was instructed to do. I'll try uninstalling the software then plugging printer in first.I'll let you know how I get on. Thanks again. Tobi

Section D.4 - Private Sector Cost Estimate 7/12/2006 Department of Health and Human Services National Institutes of Health Competitive Sourcing Guidebook Section D.4 – Streamlined Competition Private Sector Cost Estimate Section D.4 - Private Sector Cost Estimate 7/12/2006 NATIONAL INSTITUTES OF HEALTH .......................................................................... 1 COMPETITIVE SOURCING GUIDEBOOK..................................................................... 1 SECTION D: THE STREAMLINED COMPETITION ..................................................... 1 D.4.

Private Sector Cost Estimate NIH refers to the estimated contract price for performing an activity with a private sector source as the Private Sector Cost Estimate or Market Research. Not all agencies use this term. The Private Sector Cost Estimate (Market Research) documents the cost for all elements that contribute to the final estimate of the contract price. In streamlined studies, the Private Sector Cost Estimate represents the expected private sector cost in the cost comparison. The Streamlined Competition process uses the Private Sector Cost Estimate to evaluate the likelihood that a private sector offeror would be able to perform the work for less than the in-house organization's cost to do the work in-house. If it the total cost of private sector performance is less than the total cost of Government performance (using A-76 costing rules), then the Government converts the work from in-house personnel and resources to the private sector. D.4.1 Policy D.4.1.1 OMB Circular No.A-76 The following are specific sections of Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-76 (revised) associated with developing Private Sector Cost Estimates. These sections are mandatory, and the COMPARE Analyst must follow them when developing the Agency Cost Estimate for a Streamlined Competition. If you are unfamiliar with the terms used in this Section, please refer to Section A, Competitive Sourcing Overview, and to the rest of this chapter, which covers the requirements in more detail. ATTACHMENT B, SECTION C.1.B: COST OF PRIVATE SECTOR/PUBLIC REIMBURSABLE PERFORMANCE. An agency shall determine an estimated contract price for performing the activity with a private sector source, using documented market research or soliciting cost proposals in accordance with the FAR. An agency may also determine an estimated cost for performing the activity with a public reimbursable source by calculating (or requesting that a public reimbursable source calculate) SLCF Lines 1a, 2a, 3a (limited to awarded contracts), 4a, and 6a. An agency shall enter and certify an estimated contract price or public reimbursable cost on SLCF Line 7 in accordance with Attachment C for a minimum of three performance periods. ATTACHMENT B, SECTION C.1.D: COST ESTIMATE FIREWALLS. An agency shall ensure that the individual(s) preparing the agency cost estimate and the individual(s) preparing the private sector/public reimbursable cost estimate shall be different, and shall not share information concerning their respective estimates. NIH PP&Guidebook D.4-1 DRAFT Section D.4 - Private Sector Cost Estimate 7/12/2006 D.4.1.2 NIH Policy NIH uses documented market research to develop the estimated contract price. Who certifies the private cost – CART or CO (CART does now but will that change moving forward)? Any additional firewalls such as between PSCE and PWS or prelim planning? Small business sources required or suggested? D.4.2 Roles and Responsibilities Certifying Official: The Certifying Official will make the certification of the Estimated Cost of Private Sector or Public Reimbursable Performance on Line 7 of the Streamlined Competition Form. This individual will be different from the Agency Tender Official (ATO), who certifies the Agency Cost Estimate. The Certifying Official should be 1) be independent of the Agency Cost Estimate, 2) approve the methodology to be used for development of the private sector cost, 3) develop or review the Private Sector Cost Estimate, 4) certify the Private Sector Cost Estimate and retain control until the cost comparison, and 5) be present at the cost comparison to sign the cost comparison form. Currently, NIH assigns this role to a CART representative who does not have knowledge of the MEO or Agency Cost Estimate. Contracting Officer: The Contracting Officer is the agent of the Government with the authority to enter into, administer, and terminate contracts and make related determinations and findings. The Contracting Officer is the only individual authorized to bind the Government to a contract. The Contracting Officer is the individual responsible for monitoring the contractual side of the competition, which includes developing and issuing the formal solicitation. Private Sector Cost Estimate Team: The group, including the Contracting Officer, Subject Matter Expert (SME), developers, and Certifying Official, who is responsible for preparing and certifying the Private Sector Cost Estimate. Subject Matter Expert: A Subject Matter Expert (SME) reviews the Market Research and compares it to the RD to ensure that it is correct and meets the requirements in the RD. The SME will work with the Certifying Official and the Contracting Officer to resolve any issues or concerns. Developers: The developers are technical, contracting, or cost estimating experts who support the development of a Private Sector Cost Estimate. They may be consultants or government employees. D.4.3 Procedures The Private Sector Cost Estimate documents the cost for all elements that contribute to the final contract price. The Streamlined Competition process uses the Private Sector Cost Estimate to evaluate the likelihood that a private sector offeror would be able to perform the work for less than the in-house organization's cost to do the work. If it the NIH PP&Guidebook D.4-2 DRAFT Section D.4 - Private Sector Cost Estimate 7/12/2006 total cost of private sector performance is less than the total cost of Government performance (using A-76 costing rules), then the Government converts the work from in- house personnel and resources to the private sector. We will first clarify some common misconceptions about the Private Sector Cost Estimate: • The Private Sector Cost Estimate does not represent a specific organization. • The Private Sector Cost Estimate does not use COMPARE. • It does not produce an organizational structure. NIH uses documented market research to develop the Private Sector Cost Estimate, as is required in the Circular. Beyond this specification, however, the Circular does not require a specific methodology or format for the Private Sector Cost Estimate. However, all Private Sector Cost Estimates should follow certain basic principles: • Work included in the RD, no more and no less, should support the estimate. • The estimate should be a reasonable valuation of the work, not purposely high or low. • Developers should develop the estimate from an offeror's point of view, rather than the Government's point of view. • The estimate should anticipate contractor flexibility and allowing the service provider to manage the work for greater efficiency and economy. Two major factors determine the amount of Private Sector Cost Estimate for a personnel-only competition: • Level of effort (The number of labor hours required to perform the work) • Labor rates (The hourly rates, including salary, benefits, overhead, and profit, that a private sector firm would charge the government) D.4.3.1 Level of Effort Determination The level of effort (in labor hours) can be determined in two ways. The labor hours can be determined using historical data and calculations from the in-house organization, or estimated based upon the requirements. Other estimating methodologies, such as parametric cost estimates, appear rarely in A-76 studies, but the developers may choose to use such methods if necessary. Each of the two common methodologies has advantages and disadvantages, and both can produce accurate and objective Private Sector Cost Estimates. Historical Data Method Historical hours required to perform the work are a relatively straightforward method to determine the level of effort needed for a Private Sector Cost Estimate. In this method, developers determine the labor hours required for the work by multiplying the existing government and contractor FTE by the number of annual productive hours for each employee type. The number of annual productive hours varies: A government FTE, in accordance with OMB Circular A-76, works 1,776 productive hours in a single year. A contractor FTE typically has productive hours between 1,880 and 1,960 hours per year. NIH PP&Guidebook D.4-3 DRAFT Section D.4 - Private Sector Cost Estimate 7/12/2006 Example 1: The study includes 10 Federal employees and 2 contract employees. The contractor says that his employees work 1,900 productive hours per year. The calculations would be as follows: 10 (Govt. FTE) * 1,776 (hrs per year) + 2 (contract FTE) * 1,900 (hrs per year = 21,560 productive hours per year This example assumes that the 12 employees included all perform the same function, such as accounting technicians. However, a more complex calculation would be required if there were varied levels of function required or different functions required, as shown below. Example 2: The study includes administrative support and accounting. In this case, the developers would divide the historical hours between the two functions. Assume that two Federal employees are administrative assistants and eight Federals are accounting related support. 2 * 1,776 = 3,552 administrative support hours 8 * 1,776 = 14,208 accounting support hours The calculation for any specific study will differ from the above, and the complexity of the calculation will vary depending on the number of functions and variation of Federal or contract employees included. In its simplest and most commonly used form, the historical data method does not consider savings or possible efficiencies. It also does not have a direct tie to the Requirements Document (RD) or workload. Because of this, it is less likely to reflect the proposals expected from private sector offerors accurately, since they would only have the RD requirements to use to prepare their offers. Developers commonly use this method when detailed workload information is unavailable or unlikely to provide an accurate cost estimate for the requirements. The use of this method is also dependent on the presentation of information. The historical work effort data would need to be in the RD or another document provided to both the MEO Team and the Private Sector Cost Estimate team. If contract work is in the study, then the developers must also include levels of effort within the contract in order to use this method. Estimating Method The estimating method begins with work requirements described in the RD. Developers evaluate each task in the RD and determine an average time to perform the individual task (including any travel or work coordination necessary). The developers base these estimates on industry standard practices wherever possible. For example, the developers would use the GSA maintenance guide or R.S. Means for equipment repairs and building preventive maintenance. For functions where industry standards are not available, estimates should be based on past study information (if available) or technical estimates based on experience and analytical thought. When necessary, developers may perform a sample time study to assist with estimated times for particular tasks. This process is more directly tied to the actual requirements and documented workload stated in the RD than the historical level of effort method, since the estimate includes NIH PP&Guidebook D.4-4 DRAFT Section D.4 - Private Sector Cost Estimate 7/12/2006 only the work in the RD. The objective, in developing these average task times, is to determine a reasonable level of effort that a contractor would propose, based upon the statements included in the RD. In contracting terms, this estimate should fall in the middle of the competitive range of offerors, and not to the high or low end. Because the estimates are based solely on RD descriptions of work and associated workload, if the requirements or workload information are inaccurate, the level of effort estimated will also be inaccurate. Developers commonly employ this method when the RD is detailed and task-based, includes accurate and complete workload counts, and when they are able to estimate work levels of effort accurately. It is particularly appropriate when industry standards are available. When developers use the estimating method, they should cross-reference the estimates back to the RD and any other sources that they used for development. Example: Requirement Workload Estimated Time Source Indictor per Task (include # and description) 5.1.1 Develop web pages # of web pages 8 hours each Technical Estimate 5.3.2 Maintain Cathodic # of systems 1.460 hrs each RS Means G4095- Protection Systems 110 After developing level of effort estimates for each work requirement in the RD, developers add up the total of hours required for each task type. This method is not designed to produce a Full Time Equivalent (FTE) count, but is instead designed to produce labor hours that, when multiplied by appropriate labor rates, produce an overall cost for the work. However, developers may calculate an FTE count as a crosscheck to ensure that their estimates are reasonable. For instance, if the study included the work of 10 employees and the estimating method indicates a requirement for 50 employees, the developers must re-evaluate the estimating process for errors. The developers should also identify duplicated or combined work. For example, if travel is required for the work in the RD, the travel may be in the estimate of the time required for each task or the RD Team may have included a separate requirement indicating the estimated number of trips that will be required. The developers should evaluate the RD with such possible work overlaps in mind, and should request clarification (from the Contracting Officer, who will likely ask the RD Team to answer the question) to ensure that no work requirements are duplicated or overlooked. The developers should document any assumptions that they make in the estimate itself. In some cases, task times may be difficult to estimate for individual tasks, but developers may be able to develop estimates for combined tasks. In this case, the estimate should state that it encompasses task a, task b, and task f. Another item to include in the estimate is management or supervision required to accomplish the work under study. The supervisory level of effort should arise from the size of the overall requirement, the diversity of the work, the level of quality required, the NIH PP&Guidebook D.4-5 DRAFT Section D.4 - Private Sector Cost Estimate 7/12/2006 degree of hazard, mission criticality, and the number of geographic locations. Most single-location settings will require a ratio of one supervisor to 12 to 15 employees. Management can be full or partial FTEs. D.4.3.2 Determining Labor Rates using Market Research Market research determines the availability of commercial entities that can perform the work in the RD. The research includes the type of business (e.g., a woman-owned business), the size of the business, and its proximity to the work described in the RD. Several existing contract sources may provide useful information. These include contracts that already support the in-house staff, other organizations within or outside of NIH (preferably within the same geographic location), General Services Administration (GSA) Federal Supply Schedules (www.gsaadvantage.gov), and other Government- wide sources, such as FedSource (www.fedsource.gov/ ). If these sources do not yield results, then the developers should conduct local market surveys. Another source of labor rate information is Department of Labor Wage (DOL) Determinations for work subject to the Service Contract Act, which are available at www.wdol.gov. The Contracting Officer should assist the developers in obtaining contract information; typically, agencies will not release information to anyone other than a Contracting Officer. In the online GSA Library, which is accessible via GSA Advantage web site, Federal Supply Schedule listings describe various categories of goods and services. Most of the rates useful for Private Sector Cost Estimates appear in the "services" category. By clicking on a supply schedule number, developers can download a list of all companies that provide services under that particular category. GSA Advantage lists each contractor's catalog. Not all companies list their prices online, however. Every GSA catalog is different, since the individual companies develop them. Developers should look for companies that provide services in the same geographic area as the work under study, and that provide personnel who would be qualified to perform the work. Developers will find sources that include labor category descriptions easier to use, because then it is easier to match a category to the tasks required. The descriptions will also allow developers to ensure that the type and level of personnel truly matches the work; the criteria for any given position often vary between companies. The goal of the market research is to find suitable sources for all of the requirements in the RD. A single skill set may be able to complete the requirements of one, while another may require many skill sets. The market research complexity will vary depending on the number of skills required and how common contracts for the function are. A study that requires five skill sets -- such as graphic artist, photographer, audiovisual equipment operator, technical writer, and conference scheduler -- will require more research than a study that only requires two types -- such as a graphic artist and a photographer. Studies that include unrelated job functions also increase the complexity of the research. In these cases, developers may need to use a combination of sources and then assume that any contract would require either prime and NIH PP&Guidebook D.4-6 DRAFT Section D.4 - Private Sector Cost Estimate 7/12/2006 subcontractors, or a contractor team to meet the requirements. This leads to increased complexity in determining the appropriate contract rates. A contract source is useful only if developers can determine labor rates from it. For example, if the contract is a fixed-price lump sum for a large body of work, it will be almost impossible to use the fixed-price amount for the estimate. The price is for a specified amount of work that is probably not equal to the amount of work included in the study that the developers must estimate. The key is to obtain the common denominator of the fully burdened labor rate to apply to the level of effort in hours. Once developers identify contract sources that provide hourly rates and which can perform the work defined by the RD, they will select the most appropriate sources. The developers will determine appropriateness based upon the contractors' available labor categories, qualifications, labor rates, and places of service. When choosing sources, there are advantages and disadvantages to each. Existing contract sources may provide the most accurate rates, but the necessary labor rate information may be difficult or time-consuming to obtain. Market surveys are also time- consuming and the information may not be as reliable as existing contracts, because they are not a binding statement of costs. GSA's rates are a fairly accurate prediction of cost and a relatively easy method to obtain information. There are so many contracts under the GSA schedules, though, that it may be difficult for developers to narrow down the available information to that which is comparable to the work under study. Department of Labor (DOL) Wage Determinations, as published under the Service Contract Act (SCA), are a reasonable source, but they cover only non-professional job functions and the rates require additional calculations (discussed in more detail below). In addition, Service Contract Act rates are typically well below average commercial rates in high-cost metropolitan areas such as Washington, D.C. Developers should, therefore, use Service Contract Act rates with caution and use them as a minimum, rather than a midpoint labor rate. From the appropriate sources that they select, the developers then choose the best sources, basing their decisions on the similarity of the position description (where available) and skill sets to the RD tasks . In other words, developers base their selections on the requirements described in the RD, rather than from any independent knowledge that they may have of the functions under study. When documenting the market research, the developers should provide, at a minimum, a list of the contracts that were available, which contract they used, the source of the information, information on the company, the period of the contract that provided the information, and the categories and labor rates used. There is no formal requirement for the number of sources developers must obtain through market research; however, more sources will normally present a more accurate market picture. Use of only one source is acceptable when a company already performs the work under study for a reasonable price, or when suitable sources are difficult to find. Wherever possible, however, developers should use at least five separate sources for each labor category. If developers are unable to locate five sources, they should document the sources they used and why potential contracts were unsuitable for the Private Sector Cost Estimate. NIH PP&Guidebook D.4-7 DRAFT Section D.4 - Private Sector Cost Estimate 7/12/2006 Once the developers have completed their research, they calculate average labor rates from the sources that best fit the requirements in the RD. They then apply these rates to the level of effort (labor hours) that they have previously determined. In some cases (see below), the developers must further modify the rates before applying them. D.4.3.3 Calculating Labor Costs Burdened Labor Rates Once developers obtain contract labor rates via their market research, they must determine if the rates are fully burdened (or loaded) rates or not. "Burdened" means the hourly rate includes the total cost charged by the contractor for the hours worked. Typically, these rates include base pay to the employee, fringe benefits (such as leave, holiday pay, and insurance), Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA) contributions, worker's compensation, overhead, and profit. Rates obtained from GSA schedules are normally fully burdened rates and need no further modification. Rates obtained from existing contract sources may or may not already be loaded. If the rates are not loaded, then the developers must determine how much to add to the basic pay rates to take fringe benefits, taxes, overhead, and profit into account. These factors are typically available in the contract information. If developers use Wage Determinations as a rate source, then they must also adjust the rates, first with a cost factor provided in the Wage Determination itself. This factor is the "health and welfare hourly cost factor." The Wage Determination will also specify the number of required holiday/leave paid hours, but the developers must estimate and add other factors, such as overhead and profit. Locality adjustments If labor rates are for a different geographic location than the work location required, the developers must adjust the rates with a locality factor. These can be determined multiple ways depending on the localities. Two possible options are the Office of Personnel Management wage adjustments (available from http://www.opm.gov/oca/). By comparing the Federal wage adjustments for two areas, the developers can determine an approximately accurate adjustment for private sector rates. For example, a company in Cleveland, Ohio provides a skill set (accounting, for example) that applies to a function under study in Washington, DC. The company charges $25 per hour (loaded rate) for the work in Cleveland. In order to determine an equivalent rate in Washington, DC, the developers look up the locality adjustments for the two cities, provided below: City Locality Adjustment Cleveland OH 15.41% Washington DC 17.50% From this, they determine that an appropriate adjustment is to increase the Cleveland pay rate by 1.81% to $25.45 per hour. The developers may correctly suspect that this adjustment is too low to reflect the true private sector differences in costs between the two areas. NIH PP&Guidebook D.4-8 DRAFT Section D.4 - Private Sector Cost Estimate 7/12/2006 A second method of determining appropriate adjustments is to use a cost of living comparison. Numerous cost of living calculators are available on the Internet, and developers should take care to check several before settling on an accurate assessment. One of the better options is www.salary.com. Information there comes from extensive salary surveys provided by people using the services of the site. (However, be aware that self-reported income may be artificially inflated.) From Salary.com, an entry level accounting position has the following pay in the two areas: City Locality Adjustment Cleveland OH $41,339 Washington DC $43,348 This gives a 4.86% adjustment factor, so the developers determine that a more appropriate increase is to $26.21. Clearly, it is much more beneficial and accurate to use rates that apply to the area where the studied functions are, rather than attempting to make a locality adjustment. However, in some cases it may become necessary to adjust rates. Labor Costs After the developers complete any needed adjustments to the labor rates, they multiply the labor hours by the loaded labor rate for each level and type of position included in the estimate. The total personnel cost in the Private Sector Cost Estimate is the sum of all such costs. Other Costs If the Government will not provide materials or supplies, then the Private Sector Cost Estimate needs to include an estimate for these costs. Typically, however, NIH furnishes materials for its studies and this calculation is not necessary. Inflation The Private Sector Estimate should provide a cost figure for each period of performance. In order to determine the appropriate inflation, the periods of performance are needed. These should be the same as what the Agency Cost Estimate uses and decided by the Contracting Officer. All costs are inflated through the first period of performance unless labor rates were used that were based upon the first period of performance. For example, if the first period of performance was in 2010, and rates taken from contract sources were current in 2010, then inflation is not necessary. However, if the rates from the contract sources were for 2009, the developers will inflate them one year to reflect costs in 2010 accurately. The developers inflate costs for the subsequent periods of performance according to Service Contract Act (SCA) rules. Developers cannot inflate costs for tasks subject to the Service Contract Act in the option years because the minimum wage rates will be set by the Service Contract Act Wage Determination instead of a standard inflation factor. The Service Contract Act may apply to all, some, or none of the work in a study. NIH PP&Guidebook D.4-9 DRAFT Section D.4 - Private Sector Cost Estimate 7/12/2006 The easiest way to determine if the work is subject to the Service Contract Act is to determine whether the work is professional or non-professional in the private sector. "Professional" corresponds to personnel exempt from the Service Contract Act and "non-professional" corresponds to personnel who are non-exempt. The Service Contract Act rules are more complex than this in some cases; if there are any questions, ask for the advice of the Contracting Officer. OMB bases the factors for inflation calculations upon the Federal Pay Raise Assumptions and publishes them for Circular No.A-76 cost comparisons regularly. These factors also appear in the Agency Cost Estimate. This ensures an equitable comparison of costs. OMB updates the inflation factors on an annual basis and publishes them in the Federal register and on its web site. Contract Administration COMPARE automatically computes contract administration costs and adds them to the Private Sector Cost Estimate at the time of the cost comparison. The developers should not add contract administration costs to the Private Sector Cost Estimate. For more information about contract administration costs, please see the Agency Cost Estimate Section of the guidebook. Approval Once the Certifying Official reviews and approves the Private Sector cost Estimate, the Private Sector Cost Estimate Team seals it and submits it to the Contracting Officer, where it will remain sealed until the cost comparison. D.4.4 Reviewing the Cost Estimate The Private Sector Cost Estimate Team will review the complete Private Sector Cost Estimate. Below is a list of things that the Private Sector Cost Estimate Team should review before finalizing the Estimate. Performance Period Dates: Ensure that the performance period dates match the dates provided by the Contracting Officer exactly. Level of Effort: Evaluate the accuracy of the level of effort assigned to the work. Whether the developers use the historical method or estimating method (described above), the labor hours should reflect a level of effort, including efficiencies and savings, that a reasonable private sector offeror could propose. Verify that the level of effort tracks to the RD wherever possible, and that projections from historical levels reflect available efficiencies and savings. Labor Rates: Asses the accuracy of labor rates used in the Private Sector Cost Estimate. Verify that Contractors identified in the Market Research can actually perform the work in the RD. Also verify that the labor rates are not too high; contractors often use personnel with less experience (and hence lower pay) than Federal employees with comparable skill sets may have. Verify that the rates accurately account for locality and other factors. NIH PP&Guidebook D.4-10 DRAFT Section D.4 - Private Sector Cost Estimate 7/12/2006 Materials and Supplies: Review the supporting documentation to ensure that all materials and supplies that will be necessary are included. Also, ensure that no Government-furnished materials and supplies are included in the Private Sector Cost Estimate. Arithmetic: Check to ensure that the calculations are correct and complete. D.4.5 Potential Pitfalls Do not break the firewall required between the private sector and the agency cost estimates. If the firewall is broken, the integrity of the competition is at risk. Do not produce an estimate that is unreasonable for the requirements included in the study. Compare against known benchmarks whenever possible. D.4.6 Lessons Learned/Best Practices The Certifying Official should be involved from the start of the development process, and should understand the estimate in detail in order to avoid any last-minute problems. To ensure that the estimate is reasonable, the Private Sector Cost Estimate Team should include individuals who are not under study. Individuals reviewing the costs should use the work identified in the RD as the baseline for work requirements and not their individual perceptions of the work. Maintain tight control of cost estimate documents. Only the certifying Agency Official and other developers of the estimate should have access. Maintain access controls via password protection of electronic files. NIH PP&Guidebook D.4-11 DRAFT

El Quemaito hotel is located about 10 km south of Barahona, on a cliff overlooking the sea. The hotel territory is not very large but very beautifully organized and maintained. There is a small swimming pool and plenty of space for chaises longues.
The hotel is located in a very scarcely populated area, so you can be sure you will not be disturbed by any signs of human presence outside the hotel. Beaches are scarce and pebbly in this part of the country, the nearest beach being about 5 minute drive away (we were told that it's about 10-15 minute walk but we never felt like trying).
There are no restaurants or other attractions within walking distance, but the owners offer delicious dinners made of fresh local products (ask for fish! :)
The hotel is owned and managed by a very nice Swiss couple, who only speak German and Spanish, so be prepared to some communication problems if you don't speak any of these languages. But I must say that the owners really did their best to understand and be understood, so that there were no real disappointments caused by the language barrier.
The room was quite comfortable, furniture and bathroom fixtures not luxury or brand new but in good working order.
Please note that there is no cell phone reception anywhere to the south of Barahona.

These are shortcuts to your favorite social networking and bookmark sites. Add this story to your Facebook page, del.icio.us, DiggIt, and many others!
In September, personal income increased $48.1 billion, or 0.4%, and disposable personal income increased $43 billion, or 0.4%, according to the United States Bureau of Economic Analysis. Personal consumption expenditures increased $87.9 billion, or 0.8%. In August, personal income increased $17.8 billion, or 0.1%, DPI increased $15.1 billion, or 0.1%, and PCE increased $59.9 billion, or 0.5%, based on revised estimates, the bureau announced. Real DPI— DPI adjusted to remove price changes— decreased less than 0.1% in September compared with a decrease of 0.3% in August, it stated. Real PCE— PCE adjusted to remove price changes— increased 0.4% in September compared with an increase of 0.1% in August. Purchases of durable goods increased 1.3% compared with an increase of 1.5% in the month earlier. Purchases of nondurable goods increased 0.5% versus an increase of 0.4% month over month. And purchases of services increased 0.2% compared to a 0.2% August decrease, BEA noted. —mike duff Tags: • Housewares • Cookware & Bakeware • Vacuum Cleaners/Electric Cleaning • Health & Personal Care • Home Décor • Home Environment • Small Electrics • Organization & Cleaning • Tabletop • Gadgets & Kitchen Tools • Retail • |

Cookware you secretly use as dishware?
- 33 Comments
- Follow
While I was heating up the last of the leftover meatballs for lunch today, I was wondering if anyone else uses what was made for cookware as dishware, as I do sometimes. (But, of course, you'd never do this in front of others!)
And I'm not talking about just eating right out of the pan you've cooked in (oh, the crimes we sometimes commit when alone in the kitchen).
Some time ago a round 2-qt. clear Pyrex lidded glass casserole came into my possession. While it's great for a number of uses, it's also become my go-to pasta bowl. Yup, vermicelli and meatballs, ravioli, portions of baked ziti or lasagna warmed up from another pan, whatever, if I'm eating pasta alone it goes into the Pyrex. Rather inelegant, but it works! It's also my go-to bowl for assembling a composed salad, such as a cobb or shrimp louie.
At the same time, I've got this 'I wouldn't want anyone to see me eating from it' thing going on.
So do you have a piece of cookware you regularly use as dishware, too? Go ahead, let it all out, confess just like you were on Oprah. Inquiring minds want to know! :)
I actually don't own any glasses or cups so if the water bottle I use all the time is somewhere else then I just drink out of a small stainless steel mixing bowl. I also carry stuff in my teeth - spoons, forks, occasionally tongs - by their ends when I move around the kitchen. I also turn my head sideways when I get confused.
The family dog influenced me a lot, is what i'm trying to say.

When I was single I tended to cook, serve and eat out of my Pyrex 2 and 4 cup measures.

I have one of those clear casseroles too!!
Perfect for pasta. Popcorn. Salad. Stuff.Not quite the same:
Red and black melamine rice bowls: milk, water, soup. Anything and everything gets eaten out of the bowls, and the lids are for any sauce, and small serving of anything.0 -
I have an old-style all-clad stainless "cassoulet" pan, about 10 inches wide and 3 inches high, with loop handles, curved sides and a flat lid. I use it for stir-fries, as a small braising pan, etc. I also use it as a salad bowl and a pasta serving bowl, among other things. It's my go-to pan for almost everything.

I don't use it as dishware. When I do it, it's just eating out of the pan. It's not bad manners, as long as you're standing over the sink. It would be rude if you were eating with someone else and expected them to stand over the sink, too.
