Feds should expect minor tweaks in Obama's second term
Wednesday - 11/7/2012, 3:05am EST
Federal News Radio's Jason Miller on The Federal Drive
(The story was updated at 8:17 a.m. Nov. 7 to include comments from Don Kettl of the University of Maryland.)
Federal employees can expect only limited changes to the management of their agencies with the re-election of Barack Obama as President of the United States.
Agencies will continue to focus on high-priority, mission-centric goals. They should expect initiatives such as strategic sourcing, cloud computing and reform to the federal hiring process to march down a similar path as they have over the last four years.
The President defeated Gov. Mitt Romney Tuesday with 303 electoral votes to Romney's 206. Florida's 29 electoral votes were still up in the air at the time this article was posted.
The budget will remain the top driving factor in many of the performance initiatives in the second term. Obama is expected to increase the pressure on agencies to apply technology and people to save money.
First, however, the President and Congress must deal with the looming cuts of $1.2 trillion over the next decade, of which $110 billion kicks in Jan. 2 because of sequestration.
The make-up of the Congress is staying relatively the same in the second Obama term, with Democrats remaining in control of the Senate and Republicans in control of the House. But retirements, term limits and a few new lawmakers will alter the leadership of some committees.
There are other budget-related issues such as Bush-era tax cuts and the fiscal 2013 spending bills for every agency, as well as Postal Service reform, comprehensive cybersecurity legislation and the Defense authorization bill, that Obama and lawmakers will have to address.
Despite the budget pressures, the administration's push to improve services to citizens will continue, but the burden of having to do that with less money will remain strong.
Bipartisan opportunity
In his election night speech, Obama called for greater compromise moving forward.
"In the weeks ahead, I also look forward to sitting down with Governor Romney to talk about where we can work together to move this country forward," Obama said.
Some experts say there could be an opportunity for bipartisanship in a second term.
Obama has a chance now to play the role of "senior statesman" to bring the two parties together, said Don Kettl, dean of the School of Public Policy at the University of Maryland, in an interview on The Federal Drive with Tom Temin and Emily Kopp.
Obama could be "the guy who's going to be stepping in and trying to find a way to bring sanity to the big problems that we're facing," Kettl said.
Republicans, then, will have the challenge of not becoming the "party of no," he said.
Dan Blair, president of the National Academy of Public Administration and a former deputy director of the Office of Personnel Management under President George W. Bush's administration, told Federal News Radio in September that "the two most productive years in the Bush administration were the two years after his re-election."
During its second term, the Bush administration added to its management agenda with items such as federal asset management, reducing improper payments and faith- based and community initiatives.
However, Obama acknowledged in his speech that the road to compromise wouldn't come easily.
"By itself, the recognition that we have common hopes and dreams won't end all the gridlock or solve all our problems or substitute for the painstaking work of building consensus and making the difficult compromises needed to move this country forward," he said. "But that common bond is where we must begin. Our economy is recovering. A decade of war is ending. A long campaign is now over."
There is a strong likelihood the Obama administration will expand a handful of its key management initiatives. For instance, the Office of Management and Budget is considering making strategic sourcing mandatory and giving more authority to agency chief information officers.
Additionally, OMB launched 13 cross-agency priority goals with the 2013 budget request, and those likely will receive a strong focus over the next four years.
"Twenty-four major federal agencies have also identified a limited number of two- year agency priority goals in the fiscal 2013 budget, aligned with their strategic goals and objectives," according to OMB's website. "Agency priority goals target areas where agency leaders want to achieve near-term performance acceleration through focused senior leadership attention. The administration has also adopted a limited number of cross-agency priority goals to improve cross-agency coordination and best practice sharing."

The product came on time and looks awesome, better than the picture. The clucth looks so nice that I want to use it to go out. The flat iron works perfect so far, gets hot really fast and stylist the hair right away. I'm inlove with my Chi!!!
Lord knows I have been trying to duplicate my hair to what the hair dresser can do. I cannot not say I can make it as nice as she can, but it is a close second and I am very pleased. I bought the hair dryer too, not sure which makes it easier but pleased to have both.
works excellent! I have super curly hair and the high temps get them straight with in a few strokes. Definitely worth the money
I love the design of this Chi, it gets very hot at is the best straightener I have ever used. The bag is a great bonus for travel and setting the iron on when its hot.

There's more stuff for sale on Woot than ever before, so much more that it's silly that you have to click through three screens to buy one thing, and then turn around and click through those same three screens again to buy something else. That's why we're breaking NEW GROUND (and doing what every online store already does)! We're adding a Shopping Cart!
If you're a pro at online shopping, this whole thing will be pretty intuitive, so you might want to skip down to the Quirks section. For those of you that have never used a shopping cart system (all 6 of you), we've got you covered! Check it!
The Basics
Add to Cart Here's how it works: on the main page of any Woot site, you'll click "I Want One" like you always you have, but once you get to the product page, instead of clicking "Buy Now," you'll see a button for "Add to Cart." The same goes for individual items in a Woot Plus sale.
Mini Cart! Hover over this and it'll bring up your Mini Cart, showing the stuff that's currently in your cart and giving you the option to check out. If you're all done shopping or you're worried about missing out on something (more on this down the page!), go ahead. If not, simply navigate away and keep browsing. Just be careful the items in your cart don't sell out or go away while you're not paying attention (again, more on this down the page)!
Change Quantity To take something out of your cart or adjust the quantity on an item, it's easy: click the shopping cart icon in the corner of your screen to go to the main Shopping Cart page. From here you can click "remove" under an item to get rid of it, or select a different amount on the quantity menu off to the side.
This is all well and good, but Woot isn't like every other online store. Likewise, our shopping cart isn't like every other store's shopping cart. Here are some things to keep in mind:
1. Stuff in your cart isn't really yours until you check out. The deal can still sell out or expire (and move to the sad "Stuff You Missed" section of your cart). So if you want to keep the ravenous Woot mob from yanking that item out from underneath you, don't wait too long to finish your order. And if the I WANT ONE button is pulsing, run like hell for the checkout!
2. Real talk: we only ever had that $5 All You Can Ship in a Day promotion going because we didn't have a shopping cart. So now that we have a shopping cart, we're getting rid of it. Standard shipping is now $5 per order — just get all your stuff in one order, and it's basically the same thing.
3. How does this affect Woot-Offs? Well, you'll have to stay on your toes. Stuff is going to sell out and sell out quickly, so you'll want to check out as soon as you can. Yes, that means you'll pay for shipping more than once if you end up buying more than one item, but the truth is we sell stuff at such stupid low prices in the Woot-Off that you're still getting a good deal.
4. We kept the cart pretty simple. That means there's some stuff you can't do: you can't ship to multiple addresses in a single order, you can't use multiple coupon codes on a single purchase, and you can't pay for your stuff with multiple credit cards. However, you can tell us you love us as many times as you want (but starting at even once would SURE BE NICE! *cries*)
At any rate, we think this is a big step forward, and, if our calculations are correct, it should save the average Wooter 37 years over the course of his or her lifetime that he or she would otherwise spend clicking through purchase screens for each individual item you buy*!
Hugs and kisses, Woot
*Calculations based on the assumption that the average Woot user purchases 392 items each day.
all i can say is FINALLLYLYLYLYLYLYLY
Welcome back! Holler if you have questions. We're really excited about this new development!
Mostly a wine Wooter. Liked that I could get multiple deals for $5 shipping during woot-offs but will not be able to with the cart thing so this is disappointing. First the added sales tax, now $5 shipping per order, what's next??
ThunderThighs wrote:Welcome back! Holler if you have questions. We're really excited about this new development!
Oh, woot, no How is this a good thing for us? I get excited about woot-offs because the savings (or even potential savings) on shipping is often the difference between going for an impulse buy or not. I'll still check the daily woot, but this change probably means the end of my compulsive woot-off checking. Well, my boss will be happy.
As one who was not asking for a cart, I will really miss the $5 all day shipping this could reduce my impulse buys, especially during woot offs

Agreed, most of my buys here woot-off or not are impulse buys, and this will almost certainly cost me more or result in me buying less. I often jump on something I see early in the morning that I think will likely sell out, then return later in the day when i have time to check out Woot! Plus sales only because I have unlocked free shipping. While Woot! considers their Woot!-Off prices 'crazy-low' enough to still be a deal, which I feel is debatable, I can't even count the number of times I have seen loyal Wooters use the "Sure Woot! is only $2 cheaper than someone else on the internet, but I already unlocked free shipping" to justify a purchase at more post-mothership takover (less classic Woot! crazy low) high prices.
Let me try one scenario. I buy stuff off of any of the woot plus sites or moofi that hasn't hit the deadline at midnight central, and the multiple items are in the cart. Midnight hits, I see one more new item I want to buy. I throw that in the cart, and I then submit the whole cart/order, and the shipping is $5, right???

Correct. The only midnight deadline now is the sale ending. Once the sale ends, you can no longer buy it, even if it's in your cart. Important thing to remember is that the item is not reserved for you. It's only yours when we get our money - when you've completed the transaction. As far as the woot-off, we know this is a change. The $5 all day shipping was always stated to be a temporary thing. We did that to make up for the fact that we didn't have a cart. You could shop the Plus events first and have them in your cart while shopping the woot-off. Then buy when you find something you want. Just watch that the items in the Plus event don't go out of stock if you have your heart set on them. The other advantage now is that you should see fewer boxes when ordering multiple items (if they'll fit in the same box and they're coming from the same warehouse).

Bingo. I just stocked up on the Sistema, and had second thoughts and bought another pair of gloves that day last week, batteries, etc. In the end, even though it was all cheap, I put in 10 orders and 10 boxes. This would have helped last week. It's really quite simple, as simple as,....
Yeah, this is pretty much the nail in the coffin of the Woot-Off, as every item has effectively become $5 more expensive.
TomDavidson wrote:Yeah, this is pretty much the nail in the coffin of the Woot-Off, as every item has effectively become $5 more expensive.
You'll just have to buy 3 of each item to offset the shipping costs. EVERYBODY WINS!!
I'm not a power buyer, so this probably won't affect me much. I will still miss the $5 all day shipping because I was hoping that one day I would actually manage to take advantage of it. Woot Off or not, I've never managed to find more than one thing I want (to pay for) in a single day. Making me put it all in one shopping cart to get the $5 shipping just makes it all the more difficult. Oh well, it should make the people who have been campaigning for this change very happy.
This change will definitely be convenient, most of the time. It will, however, keep me from playing the Woot-Off game. With all of the free shipping offers available at other sites, I can only justify paying $5 by spreading it over more than one item. So, yeah, thanks for preventing all of those future impulse purchases I would've made.
I'm being denied at checkout, which has never happened before. Possibly a bug? Edit: Apparently my bank thought somebody was making fraudulent purchases with my account. It's resolved now and my order went through; not Woot's fault.
I've rarely purchased more than one item daily from woot, and when I have, its usually during a woot-off. So I guess I don't love it, but whatever. In general a good add, I suppose, but hardly revolutionary. You should tell amazon about this discovery. They could probably use something like this.
I was curious how this affects international ShirtWooters. Will we be able to order multiple shirts while only paying shipping once, or is it still $5 per shirt?
moonbrush wrote:I was curious how this affects international ShirtWooters. Will we be able to order multiple shirts while only paying shipping once, or is it still $5 per shirt?
I think it's $5 for everything in the cart if it's still available when you "check out".
I have some ideas that could take the sting of this away for us frequent wooters. First, free shipping coupons! I used to get $5 coupons pretty frequently from woot!, but I haven't seen any since the redesign. A small act of goodwill would go a long way for those of us who feel as though we are being fastened by an inclined plane attached helically to a conical surface. Second, maybe some sort of paid membership program for PRIMEary woot users who purchase frequently and would appreciate free or hastened shipping might be a good idea. I certainly purchase more than the, say ~16 orders a year, that would be needed to break even by avoiding a $5 shipping charge on each order. Maybe there is even some sort of online shopping monolith that Woot! could look to for inspiration, affiliation, or dare I say partnership in such a venture...
No change for shirts. Still free in the US for standard shipping. International shipping is $5 per shirt. (PS: I'm double checking this, just to be sure.)
oh a cart a cart a cart... i heart you muchly Woot!! big kisses and hugs with lotsa boobage (if you're into that sorta thing)
Agtreed, everything after your first purchase is now $5 more exensive. So much for the impulse Woot Monkey buys
I don't care if you have the shopping cart or not; I WANT THE $5 ALLDAY SHIPPING
Ouch... this hurts... I'd buy the wine offering while I'm driving to work, and then have the evening at home to sift through the offers for "free ship" stuff I might buy. Now that's gone. Big suck. This is just another change that takes away from what makes Woot woot. With so many Woot stores, I expect that soon Woot will become simply a "Clearance" tab on the Amazon site And moofi? Is it included in the shopping cart... Eh?
I don't think I'll be purchasing as much now, and may not even bother with woot off's. I think this "shopping cart" will kill bandoleers of carrots (if its not already dead). If woot wants to consolidate shipping great, I like less boxes on my porch. So we the customers are helping woot cut cost and we are paying more for it. (consolidate shipping to fewer boxes and pay less to ship, charge shipping once per order which generates more revenue per wooter or lose less depending on who's point of view it is.) This is brilliant!!! I'm pretty sure we are seeing corporate group think at its finest! College business or marketing students out there may find this a good case study of consumer sentiment. Thats my two cents.
ThunderThighs wrote:The other advantage now is that you should see fewer boxes when ordering multiple items (if they'll fit in the same box and they're coming from the same warehouse).
Doesn't this mean that the cost to woot to ship will probably be lower? I would think that $5 all you could ship would be more beneficial to woot with the shopping cart then it was without. The cart and the cheap shipping doesn't HAVE to be mutually exclusive. We wantz our cake, and we wanna eat it too! [Good work on the cart, it seems really easy to use. I like it]
You can hand me a skunk and call it a rose, but please and I mean PLEASE don't expect me to believe it actually IS a rose. This is like the four items I ordered at Christmas time on other sites. All four were cancelled due to "error," "item no longer available" (whatever that is).
This reminds me of Netflix telling their customers you don't really want movies shipped to your house. We always intended to be streaming company so it will be fine.

Back away from the pom-poms, slowly... While the "cart" concept is okay, it just doesn't hold water when discussing "Woot-Offs." When a company offers a myriad of different sales throughout the day, it oughta also offer some sort of savings on shipping...that is, if it expects folks to continue to buy throughout the day. So, either, a), this hasn't been "thunk through" as well as it should have been, or, b), Woot now considers itself such an irresistible Internet juggernaut that people will come running no matter what the cost. Woot, you done forgot a basic premise of marketing: don't forget who brought you to the dance. FYI: I've ordered more than 50 Woots since February...and many of those were "ohh, what the hell - the grandkids would like that, and shipping's free" buys that wouldn't have happened had I not already unlocked free shipping. As the JCPenney fiasco underscores, a company alienates its core audience at its own peril...
I do see one problem though: What if I want to keep all of my plus items in my cart that I want, until payday: Then hey look, it's Thursday and this thing I actually want to buy on regular woot is for sale now and will be sold out by tomorrow: How do I purchase the single item without having to add it to my cart and remove the other items? I think if you are going to add the cart system, there should be both a "Buy It Now" and an "Add to Cart" button.
Most of my purchases from Woot are impulse buys during woot-offs and the only reason I buy some of those are to take advantage of the unlocked free shipping. The only benefit for a shopping cart is the woot plus events...not a woot off. The woot off is going back to being 5 dollars shipping for every item you buy and you cant use the cart during the woot off because you cant purchase anything after the item is sold out. This is a HUGE step backwards by woot/amazon and I think it may end my purchases on Woot. To me this just feels like a greedy move.
Bye Bye woot-off nick nacks, it has been fun. I'll still look out for some good deals, but no more adding cheap little things for my kids...impulse buys.
I remember woot when it was cool...
Any time I'd see something I really like I'd see if there was anything else I was remotely interested in to consider purchasing to take advantage of the $5 all you can ship. Sure am glad I don't have to do that anymore, now I can just buy 1 item once in a while and be done.
I personally like the new shipping policy. I welcome anything designed to save me money.
...but the truth is we USED TO sell stuff at such stupid low prices in the Woot-Off...
Way back when, woot offs were $5 shipping per order, too, so I guess effectively we're going back to the old days. For the woot marketing folk: from a psychological standpoint the $5 all day shipping deal really felt like a deal in my mind. I felt like I was much more inclined to buy multiple items during the day. Even though I effectively can get the same thing by loading up different items into my cart and checking out just the one time, the fact that you're taking back the $5 shipping psychologically feels like something is being taken away from us and as a result, we're going to wind up paying a lot more in shipping costs if we choose to buy multiple items from woot. It may not necessarily be true, but that's the psychological effect, and it may very well result in lower sale volumes, which may in turn necessitate higher prices. Another recommendation to keep in mind, given that your parent company, Amazon, offers free shipping to it's Prime members and to folks ordering more that $25 worth of merchandise at one time, you're going to need to make sure that your prices (including shipping) are still more attractive than Amazon. We've had quite a number of Woots where the Woot price was the same as or even higher than the Amazon price. So, especially for woot-offs, most of us will be looking for prices at least $5 less than Amazon. If they aren't, it makes more financial sense to buy at Amazon, instead, just to save on shipping.
How are you seeing this as "designed to save me money"? Clearly I am missing something here and I'd love to understand.
The first post in this thread sure is a lot of words just to say "we'd like less people to purchase Woot-off items."
After some more thought I would be less against this if you changed the woot plus change times to coincide with the regular daily deal changeovers. I can see finding something at 6 am on a daily and purchasing because I was concerned about sell out potential, then a few hours later the woot plus changes occur and now I am upset because something new came up that I would have bought if I had unlocked free shipping and if it is something I really wanted I would have to pay another $5 the same day

Eric - Yo bro, I'm so stoned.
Dave - Same dude. Wanna do Kush ups?
Eric - Yea bro. Let's do it.

Attendees include Bill Correll, Charlie Rowan, Margie Harrison Buchannan, Tom Slough, Hugh Luckett, Ames Smith,...

Consider opportunity to pull your head out of Canonical and Shuttlewroth propaganda shit(because it is) and think rationally for yourself. There is no such thing as "healthy competition" between opensource projects. There is only competition in reaching the set goal, between projects own "as-is" and "as-planned" that is, but the projects benefit ONLY if their goals do substantially differ. They are fighting with themselves in reaching the goal, not with others.
For example, Razor-Qt profited from KDE and was never seen as "competition". Now it joined with LXDE and it also was never seen as competition.
Hell, even BSD profited from Linux opensource driver development by porting. Nothing by rewriting or fighting over community. Competition between opensource projects is actually very harmful.
Which healthy competition profit do you mean by mentioning "OpenOffice/LibreOffice" ?? Any proof (except worthless taskbar ofc) ? OpenOffice must be burrowed and resources should be used within LibreOffice, or he should completely change its goals to start being profitable instead of damaging behavior.
For closed source projects, them being completely different world, yes, competition MAY bring improvements in theory, but in practice it brings half-finished projects, with very short support cycle, that are quickly made obsolete by next on-purpose incompatible versions, so that customers upgrade, as in "paying again". It drains money, reassures bad quality over timescale, as well as lots of versions. This is exactly why opensource development is better and is next evolution step. If you call this "healthy competition", no further questions for you.
Oh, of course he has the evidence. You check the article and report back. Its called wasted resources.
Second, yes, we would be a LOT better if we had ONE player, browser etc - but UNIQUE in goals. Could be 100 players with own unique approaches. But not 2 display servers targeting same goal, or two Office Suits targeting same goals. Read above - WASTE. And to add spice, its not an end solution, its a display server, its to be built upon. Having several toolkits damages the development rate exactly the same (yes, I am talking about Qt vs GTK useless battle).
The best solution was to fork Wayland and mod it, then report any changes back. In case they are needed at all. That's how stuff is done.
Gnome is destroyed thanks to Miguel and co. They abadoned user wishes, they shut the doors, then Canonical had to do something, since they never ever support or package KDE properly for unknown reasons. So they have built their own Gnome and called it Unity. Ofc it WAS different from existing DEs, so it was not met with criticism of fragmentation (except from Gnome), but with criticism of instability (Canonical's unique constant "feature"). Unity is by far not "polished, modern, productive, feature rich (you gotta be kidding me right???)" - Unity is simple and consistent in looks on all possible platforms; and thats where it ends. I worked exclusively with Unity 3-4 months, at first it was very nice, but finally it became very very limited. I got bored. Installed KDE. What a breeze. Canonical thinks now same way with migration to Qt. But this will hardly ever make Unity "feature rich".

Mouth ulcers are sores or open lesions in the mouth.
See also: Canker sores
Oral ulcer; Stomatitis - ulcerative; Ulcer - mouth
Mouth ulcers are caused by many disorders. These include:
The skin lesion of histoplasmosis may also appear as a mouth ulcer.
Symptoms vary and depend on the specific cause of the mouth ulcer. In general, symptoms may include:
A health care provider or dentist usually diagnoses the type of mouth ulcer, based on its appearance and location. Blood tests or a biopsy of the ulcer may be needed to confirm the cause.
The goal of treatment is to relieve symptoms. The cause, if known, should be treated.
Gentle, thorough oral hygiene may relieve some of the symptoms. Topical (rubbed on) antihistamines, antacids, corticosteroids, or other soothing preparations may be recommended for applying directly to the ulcer.
Avoid hot or spicy foods, which often increase the pain of mouth ulcers.
The outcome varies depending on the cause of the ulcer. Many mouth ulcers are harmless and heal without treatment.
There are types of cancer, however, that may first appear as a mouth ulcer that does not heal. See: Squamous cell carcinoma
Call for an appointment with your health care provider if your mouth ulcers don't go away after 3 weeks. Call for an appointment with your health care provider if mouth ulcers return frequently, or if new symptoms develop.
Good oral hygiene may help prevent some types of mouth ulcers, as well as some complications from mouth ulcers. Good oral hygiene includes brushing the teeth at least twice per day, flossing at least daily, and getting regular professional dental cleanings and examinations.

Grande Finale Ultra Holding Hair Spray
GaileCailf.HairBlondeFine or Thin HairChemically Treated Hair1/2 GoodBeen using this Hairspray for a long time and the reason that it is so reasonable--is
that it cloggs up and you only have use of maybe 1/2 of can.
I tried cleaning it in hot water, using alcohol swabs, etc. Doesn't work.
It is a shame as it is a good product, but we are paying double for it.

Ruth P.HairAuburnColor Treated HairFine or Thin HairGrand Finale ! Alot To Like,there Is A ProblemI have been using this product for years.Nothing holds hair in place like Grande Finale.I love this product.Now for the problem,Just about always the nozzle clogs,and you can't empty the can.Yes, I have tried to clear/ clean the nozzle.Some times I throw out a lot of product .Still,nothing holds like Grand Finale,so I keep buying.posted Jul 25, 2012Link to this post
TraceyThis Really Holds.I spray once a day and it lasts even through brushing. I began using this years ago at my salon. While it is now marketed as a spray for groomers, I love it. Much better then the products that cost 4x as much at the salon and do not last til you walk out the door.posted Mar 31, 2010Link to this post
Jackie SmithSt.louis MoGrande Finale Hairsprayyour so call grande finale hairspray does not hold up very well at all & going to have to switch to a different brand that will do what the company says it will do. does not hold up well in huminty at all & hair will frizz-if you put on too much will look like you have a soaked plaster hair- can't & i repeat you can not restyle your hair after you have sprayed it at alllll. if you use half the can at once will hold but then when you have 1/4 can left it will get stuck & you can't not spray anymore out of it so you just throw it away & go by new. i'm tired of products that aren't any good & wasteing my money. so i'm off to wal-mart to buy a better product & can return if it doesn't do as the company claims it does!!!!! watch out girls it does not work!!!!!!posted Aug 29, 2009Link to this post
Lis MorganSalt Lake City, UtahGrand Finale HairsprayI used to use Grand Finale Hairspray many years ago. It was my favorite hairspray, then the formula must have changed, because it started to stink, so I started to use a different brand. Resently I purchased a can of Grand Finale and I love it, but it still stinks. Is there something you can do to make it smell pleasant?posted Apr 21, 2007Link to this post
C. PrestonKYA Wonderful Day....I have used Grand Finale hair spray for aleast the last 3 years. My hair stylest got me to try it and i love it.. You can actually curl your hair and spray it and it will hold all day and it doesnt take much so it lasts forever. It doesnt make your hair fill like it has a whole can of hairspray on it... You can even brush your hair out and redo it and spray it again and it doesnt leave your hair white looking. If you need to go some where in a hurry just brush and spray and youre ready. Its a wonderful product... I will continue to use Grand Finale.....posted Jan 13, 2007Link to this post
R. P.WashingtonGrande Finale HairsprayWorks really good, and holds pretty well. Wont really say its as windproof good as it say but it works. The only thing that really bugs me is that it stinks for awhile, so i just turn on my fan in the bathroom when i use it and it seem to do the trick. ill saying in general not bad for the money, but im still looking for something better.posted Mar 13, 2006Link to this post

pc-updatemanager is the command line equivalent to Update Manager. It can be used to apply system updates and to perform an operating system upgrade. It can also be used to update packages, providing a command line equivalent to the "Package Updates" tab of Package Manager.
If you type pc-updatemanager, it will show its available options:
/usr/local/bin/pc-updatemanager - Usage ---- branches - List available system branches chbranch <tag> - Change to new system branch check - Check for system updates install <tag>,<tag2> - Install system updates pkgcheck - Check for updates to packages
pkgupdate - Install packages updatesUpgrading Packages
To determine if newer versions of packages are available, type the following command as the superuser.
pc-updatemanager pkgcheck Updating repository catalogue Upgrades have been requested for the following 253 packages: list of packages snipped The upgrade will require 70 MB more space 439 MB to be downloaded To start the upgrade run "/usr/local/bin/pc-updatemanager pkgupdate"
In this example, newer versions are available for 253 packages. The list of package names was snipped from the sample output. If no updates were available, the output would have instead said "All packages are up to date!".
If updates are available, you can install them with this command:
pc-updatemanager pkgupdate Updating repository catalogue snip download output
While the output has been snipped from this example, the update process will download the latest versions of the packages which need updating, displaying the download progress for each file.
Applying System Updates
To determine if any system updates are available, type the following command as the superuser:
pc-updatemanager check The following updates are available: ------------------------------------
Follow the instructions to install the update:
Upgrading the Operating System
NOTE: before performing an operating system upgrade, read the caveats listed here. Be sure to backup your important data to another system or external device before starting the upgrade.
Downloading Master Files...The upgrade will then proceed as usual and you will be prompted when the system is ready to reboot.

From the comments here, it looks like the author of this rant may not even be a legitimate developer, and the issues he's having don't even appear to be real problems. Michael: In the world of "journalism" there is this thing called fact checking and verifying sources. I know you are desparate for ad revenue from any story you can think of, but remember that people won't come back to the site if all you do is post sensationalist garbage from random Internet trolls.
So much headache, so many bad words, all stemming from a display server that is over 25 years old.
Jump on the wayland train, make it the best it can be, and go for it!
What Michael isn't realizing is that Phoronix's credibility plummets towards zero with each article he posts lately. Most people already don't consider anything reported by Phoronix as being worth reading.
This whole "article" is totally nonsense, it's simply spreading FUD. I don't see any "valid points" there. How could have Phoronix posted something like that?
I don't understand this article -_-
It ends with:
While it's complaining about XCB all the time but still ending that his new desktop is blazing fast.. So, do i just need to ignore his complaints and conclude that XCB improve performance?The reason I am soooo pissed is because I have been writing a new Qt Desktop Environment for the last 1-1/2 years and Qt devs broke it by removing the QX11 API's. And my new desktop is blazzzzzzing rubber melting FAST!!!!
I'm just confused.. If someone would care clearing this up..?
@ the Michael bashers..
Please guys, show a little more respect! He's doing an awesome job with those news articles! Remember, he's doing it all alone! Oke, not every article is of good quality, but in general i'm happy with the news that he posts. So please, give him a bit more credits for the work he's doing.

Michael, there are 2 vulgar words in this article. Please don't publish such rants.
This is one of the dumbest articles I've ever seen on phoronix, and that's saying something.

NBA Game Summary - Phoenix at Oklahoma City (Friday, February 8th) Final Score: Oklahoma City 127, Phoenix 96 Oklahoma City, OK (Sports Network) - Kevin Durant had 21 points, six rebounds and four assists in the Oklahoma City Thunder's 127-96 rout of the Phoenix Suns. Russell Westbrook added 17 points and six assists for the Thunder, who have won three straight games since going 3-4 over their previous seven. "We were just more aggressive," Westbrook said. "I think our crowd has a lot to do with it. I think as a team we're getting better. When teams get closer to the All-Star Break they tend to relax. I think we just want to pick it up." Thabo Sefolosha netted 18 points, Kendrick Perkins tallied 17 points and nine rebounds and Kevin Martin poured in 16 in the triumph. Michael Beasley finished with 25 points and seven boards for Phoenix, which has dropped six of its last eight contests. Oklahoma City led 55-50 at the break, but pulled away midway through the third with an elongated 21-0 run. Serge Ibaka had seven of his nine points during the surge, which was capped on Westbrook's steal and transition layup for an 81-55 spread with 3:25 left in the period. The Thunder took a 91-70 advantage into the fourth and led by as many as 32 in the final frame. "This is no reason to hang our heads," Phoenix coach Lindsey Hunter said. "They have played in the Finals and they know what it's like, and a lot of our guys don't. This will be a positive teaching tool for us. It's something to learn from and something to never forget." The hosts headed into the second with a 33-27 edge. Game Notes Oklahoma City outscored Phoenix 36-20 in the third ... Oklahoma City shot 57.5 percent (50-of-87) from the field ... The Thunder scored 29 points off 17 Phoenix turnovers. 02/09 00:34:01 ET Powered by The Sports Network. |

Hello Everybody!
As promised I have finally completed my 1st bio. It's still a little rough but I will edit whatever needs to be as the need arises. All the artwork was hand drawn and colored by me. I changed his name to fit his abilities So without further ado...
Basic Information
Name:Umare Mako
Nickname: The Sky Sage
Gender: Male
Age: 12
Clan: N/A
Personality: Umare has a carefree personality which often lands him in trouble with his tutors at the Academy. Umare would much rather daydream under the sky than endure rigid ninja training. He is very warm and friendly to strangers and prefers to end conflicts with his words before his fists. When in battle, Umare appears somewhat shy and hesitant which his opponents often mistake as weakness. But when his blood reaches a boil Umare becomes as violent and destructive as a raging storm earning him the nickname "The Sky Sage" Umare's favorite pastimes include cloud gazing, playing shougi, and playing the jabisen(3 string Japanese guitar)
Village Info.
Village of Birth: Amegakure
Village of Alliance: Kumogakure
Rank//Chakra Info.
Ninja Rank: Chunin
Specialty: N/A
Elements: Wind-Needs Training
Your ninjutsu:
Background Info.
After treating his wounds, Tsunade and her teammates decided to leave the boy near the ruins of the orphanage believing that someone would come to care for him eventually. As they made their way back to Kahonagakure, Juraiyah noticed that Umare had been following them for 3 days. Orochimaru opted to kill the boy as he would only burden them, but Tsunade had a better idea. She had noticed a travelling band of Mountain Monks from Kumogakure and convinced them to take the boy with them as he was an orphan. The kindhearted monks saw no reason to decline her offer and thus Umare was left in their care.
- When Umare arrived in Kumogakure, he quickly realized how much of an outsider he was. The villagers viewed Amegakure as a cursed village and they feared having an Amegakure shinobi in their home would bring the war to their front doorstep. The monks, however, recognized Umare's potential and thus enlisted him into the Ninja Academy. At the age of 8 he excelled much slower than any other student due to his laid back and often dismissive attitude.

text: While it is good to see UT3 on both Mac and Linux, and most likely I will buy it when it is available, and when I have the money to spare, the whole attitude from Epic toward the Linux delay leaves much to be desired... However, the single fact that ti is coming, and now there's some sort of "evidence" is indeed good news (for Linux gaming at large). I no longer like very much shooter games, but I'm sure I'll get a few hours of fun with this title (I know I like the game, I've played it on the PS3 already). Hopefully Epic will keep statistics on both, in-game OS tracking and client downloads statistics.

Woodlawn High School was on lockdown Thursday as a result of an incident that happened before school started. Birmingham City Schools Director of Communications, Michaelle Chapman, says a fight erupted between two boys. One of them pulled a gun. The student then put the gun in another student' backpack. When that student picked up the bag, she noticed that it was unusually heavy. The student took the back to a school resource officer, who searched it and found the gun. The gun is described as a .22 caliber handgun that had one bullet in the chamber. The students involved in the fight have been arrested by Birmingham Police. The students are suspended pending a hearing. Additional security is being provided at Woodlawn for the remainder of the day.

Giovanni (サカキ Sakaki) | |
200px | |
General | |
Age: |
Unknown |
Gender: | Male |
Hometown: | Viridian City |
Region: | Kanto |
Family: | Silver (son) |
Class: | Pokémon Trainer, Team Rocket Leader |
First Appearance: |
Pokémon Adventures |
Giovanni is the founder and leader of Team Rocket as well as being the Viridian Gym Leader in the Red, Blue and Green Chapter of Pokémon Adventures. He is also the father of Silver.
Aside from being known as both Leader of Team Rocket and a Gym, he was known for being the first person to discover that Rhydon could evolve .
Giovanni was born in the Viridian Forest, like certain individuals, though he is not seen to possess any unique abilities.
When he gained the title of the eighth Gym Leader in Kanto, Giovanni was given the nickname "Giovanni of the Land" due to his specialty in using Ground-type Pokémon, with exceptions of his Beedrill and Cloyster.
In his youth, Giovanni wrote a book on the research of Ground-type Pokémon called Mysteries of the Earth that is currently in Blue's possession. The book contains detailed information on Ground-type Pokémon not known by anyone else.
As the leader of Team Rocket as well as the eighth Gym Leader in Kanto, Giovanni is considered one of the strongest trainers in the manga series. He was able to quickly gain the upperhand against his battle against Red, due to being far more experienced as a trainer, and was only defeated by Red's quick-thinking strategies, though Red claimed that Giovanni's evil heart was what led to his defeat.
He is a lot crueler and more ruthless than his anime and game counterparts, as shown when he commanded his Cloyster to slay two helpless Magmar by breaking them in half. He does not care in the slightest bit in manipulating innocent Pokémon that were subjected to his own experiments, viewing them as mere weapons. When he was defeated for the first time, Red states that his views on Pokémon led to his downfall. When Blue chases after him, Blue tells him about his reputation of 'Giovanni of the Land. Giovanni smirks and asks Blue the importance of his own reputation.
One of his commanders, Sabrina, stated the Giovanni is a charismatic leader, allowing most of his subordinates to stay loyal to him to the very end.
Despite his ruthless personality, the FireRed & LeafGreen Arc humanizes Giovanni. The main reason why he wanted to capture Deoxys was not mainly on revenge, but to locate his missing son who was kidnapped by another of the Pokedex Holders' archenemies. While his commanders believe that he only wanted to utilize his son as the heir to Team Rocket's empire, Giovanni actually wanted to reunite with his son before his death.
Another example of Giovanni's caring side is when he aided Yellow in fighting Lance, though this is likely due to Team Rocket's plans being interfered in by the Elite Four.
He is identical in appearance to his game counterpart.
Red, Blue and Green Chapter
Red first encounters Giovanni at the Pewter Museum, who pretends to be an amateur fossil hunter and archaeologist. They come across two berserk Magmar destroying the Museum, and after Red defeats them, Giovanni hands him an Old Amber as a reward.
As Red leaves, Giovanni laughs spitefully that a mere child like him could defeat Team Rocket. As the Magmar reform and attempt to kill Giovanni, he has his Cloyster kill them by freezing them and shattering their ice form. It is here that Giovanni's true agenda is revealed, to investigate Red and find out how he defeated his subordinates Lt. Surge and Koga. Musing on how Red did not finish off the Magmar himself, Giovanni concludes that Red will not be a serious threat.
Later, Giovanni assigns his executives, Lt. Surge, Sabrina and Koga, to fuse the three legendary birds (Articuno, Zapdos and Moltres) as a compensation for the 'Mewtwo Project' which results in Mewtwo's escape and Blaine's defection. He assigns them to capture Professor Oak As Red travels to the Viridian City gym to find out what happened to its missing leader, Giovanni comes forth, revealing himself to be both the Gym Leader and the leader of Team Rocket.
He challenges Red to a battle, stating that he will join Team Rocket should he lose. Although Giovanni quickly gains the upper hand as he was a far more experienced trainer, he was finally defeated by a Thunderbolt attack and disappears.
Yellow Chapter
During the battle taking place at Cerise Island, Giovanni observes the fight between Yellow and the leader of the Elite Four, Lance. He reveals that he freed Red from Lorelei's ice prison, promptly giving him the Evolutionary Stones found at the bottom of Vermilion Bay, allowing Red's Eevee to evolve. As Giovanni fights Lance, he destroys the protective shield that was giving Yellow such a hard time fighting back.
However, as the fight seemingly sways to Giovanni's favor, Lance states that Cerise Island is an amplification device for the gym badges, and with Giovanni's Earth Badge, he can summon the giant bird. Giovanni then retreats, leaving Yellow to do battle with Lance. As Yellow emerges victorious in combat, he tells his executives to return to their gyms, telling them that now is not a good time to identify themselves as Team Rocket.
Gold and Silver Chapter
During the Pokémon League's Gym Leader Exhibition Match, it was revealed that during Giovanni's time as the Viridian Gym Leader, he wrote a manual on how to raise ground Pokémon called "Secret Earth Arts". It contained all of his knowledge as an expert of ground Pokémon. Blue discovered this book in the Viridian Gym after he took over as it's gym leader. He believed he need to master all its secrets as the new Viridian Gym Leader, so he used it to train his Rhydon for his battle against his master Chuck.
Fire Red and Leaf Green Chapter
Giovanni emerges as the head of Team Rocket on Birth Island, where he attempts to wake Deoxys from its slumber. He then sends his new subordinates The Three Beasts to distract Red, Blue and Green while he makes preparations for Deoxys. Later, when Deoxys returns to Birth Island to recuperate from its conflict with Red, Giovanni appears before it, and promptly captures it in its weakened state. Giovanni later appears at Trainer Tower, where he is confronted by the Pokédex Holders and Mewtwo. Mewtwo reveals to Giovanni that it holds a grudge against him for creating him to be used for destruction, but Giovanni merely traps it within a special armour called M2Bind. He then leaves their company in order to search for his son. When Giovanni uses Deoxys to discern that Silver is in Viridian City, he sends Sird and Orm to find Silver, while he deals with Red and Mewtwo.
Giovanni, seeking payback in their previous battle, proclaims that he will fight Red alone. He then summons Deoxys to fight against Red's Mewtwo, with the battle swinging in Red's favour. However, Giovanni is suffering from a disease, and is taken by Orm to recuperate. When Giovanni finally meets Silver, his son expresses contempt that his father is associated with a criminal organisation. However, before Giovanni can stop Silver from leaving, Carr betrays Giovanni, attempting to plunge the airship into the Viridian Gym. As the impending disaster looms, Red tells Deoxys to conjure up a black hole, which promptly rescues Silver and Giovanni from the airship.
However, when they emerge from the black hole, Giovanni and Silver find themselves in a flaming chamber, contrary to Red's expectations. Giovanni puts Silver's life ahead of his own, holding him away from the flames; commenting how much Silver has grown up since he was a child. As Blue intervenes with his Rhydon, Silver refuses to acknowledge Giovanni as his father. Blue teaches him that he was once a lot like Silver, and that he should accept Giovanni as his father. Silver does so, crying over Giovanni's unconscious body. He orders his Ursaring to take Giovanni back to his base, in order to recuperate from his injuries.HeartGold and SoulSilver Chapter
Giovanni's whereabouts are unknown, and his son Silver is searching for him.
He reappeares later in chapter.
Giovanni specializes in ground type Pokémon, but has been known to use other types.
- Giovanni is the only evil team leader who remains active in the manga after his defeat.
- However, Pryce of Neo Team Rocket are trapped in the Distortion World and the Time Vortex.
- Also, Giovanni stated that he is slowly dying from an unnamed disease.
- Giovanni ironically shares the same blood type and birth month as his archnemesis, Red, which is 'O' and 'August'.

Comments On Sep 18, 2013:Good quality helmet. All the materials feel good and solid, but there is not much ventiliation in the brow or back (air escape). It WILL get hot in the summer time. I'm using it in the Fall and will probably really like it more in the Winter, but it seems to stay put, and feels great. The front visor is flat in the mid part so I mounted my GoPro upside down underneath the visor. Positioned the visor up all the way and still have very good line of sight. I can still see the red led on the GoPro to make sure it is recording. Raced twice (hare scrambles) and it hasn't come off yet. Video shows my head seems to stay stable with not much flex in the visor. I would recommend for entry level, but if you are looking for more ventilation, you may want to look at the next price point up.

Model Curriculum » Home
English Language Arts (K-12) » ELA Home
Grade 6 Overview
View unit yearlong overview here
The recursive nature of English Language Arts instruction demands that standards be addressed at many levels and in many units throughout a grade level. Students will need to learn a strategy or skill, for example, and apply it in varying circumstances and within varying levels of text complexity. There are ELA standards that demand much more instructional and practice time than a six-week unit affords. Sometimes the skill is applied orally and then in writing, but there are many ways that students acquire skills. The standards will have SLOs written to address the level and expectation that students should meet. In addition, each grade level will have standards that are repeated in every unit; however, the standards will not be assessed at every six week interval. In the classroom, formative assessments should validate a teacher's knowledge of how students are progressing on a much more frequent basis.
In Grade 6, Units are being developed that focus on Literature and Narrative Writing or on Informational Text and Expository Writing.
Please note that the document shows the progression of the complexity of a standard from one grade level to the next through the use of bold type.
