I'm 29 years old and a mother of a 3 year old who lives in Ypsilanti Michigan. I didn't get hooked on Harry Potter until after my sister-in-law came over and brought the first two movies. After I decided to sit down and read all 6 books, it took me under 2 weeks to get through all 6 of them, I couldn't put them down.
I started reading fan fiction right after I finished book six. I started off by reading only SS/OFC, then I found a wonderful author who got me hooked on SS/HG, I thank her everyday. It wasn't until recently that I started reading other HG fictions.
I'm currently addicted to any story that involves Hermione Granger and Charlie Weasley, Bill Weasley, Lucius and Remus or all of the above :)
I like fluffy romantic stories with lots of kink :)
After about two years of reading fan fiction, I finally started to write them.I have a variety of stories. Most are on The Granger Enchanted or Adult Fan Fiction.

CrystalHairMedium BrownDry HairCurly HairThick or Coarse HairGot It For My Bday...and I Love Itlove this flat iron perfect for my purse. My husband got it for my bday and it is great for touch ups. it takes a little bit for me to get my hair straight but what can you expect from a little straightener and i have long curly hair. I love it though and it is great on trips :)posted May 17, 2012Link to this post
LizaHairNormal HairColor Treated HairBest MiniI have had this mini iron previously and it went everywhere with me. It fits perfectly in all my purses, and am getting another. (I only need to replace it because my bag wa stolen with it in it!). It's cary case makes this awesome little iron even cuter! (It also makes keeping the cord tidy even easier)posted Nov 25, 2011Link to this post
SabiLondonHairBlackCurly HairThick or Coarse HairIt Didn't Work For MeI'm black/indian and have natural hair that falls in loose spiral curls. I tried this flat iron but it didn't really do anything for me. Sure it "straightened" my hair, but the straightening I received was more similar to if I had used a cheap blow dryer to straighten my hair... My hair poofed back up in about 10 minutes. It also left weird creases in my hair and will not curl. it really doesn't get hot enough to do anything for me, maybe if you have a relaxer or have very fine hair it will be a good alternative to carrying a full size flat iron with you on trips or something. I sent it back after one use.posted Jul 9, 2011Link to this post
DianeHairMedium BrownColor Treated HairGreat For TravelOk it's small and you have to be careful not to get your hair caught outside the plates but for the money it's awesome. I have a CHI for home (and love it) but I am traveling out of the country and can't use the CHI on a converter. This little gem straightened my colored wavy hair just great and did a better job than the CHI on the short hair near my neckline. Get one for travel or the gym!posted Jan 30, 2011Link to this post
BrookeHairBlondeFine or Thin HairRelaxed HairIts Okay.I bought myself this straightner because my friend had it and she said it was amazing. It made my hair straight but it pulled or snagged my hair and i really didnt like it. It made you hair straight i just didnt like that fact that it pulled at my hair.posted Jan 9, 2011Link to this post
JessicaHairPlatinum BlondeCurly HairThick or Coarse HairGreatwell this prouduct is really great its small for bangs and touch-ups. the only thing i dont like is that i have to put very little hair in it or my hair will slide out of the plates and get pulled but thats not a big deal. i've been using this for about 2-3 weeks so i cant say how long it will last.posted Jan 8, 2011Link to this post
MeganCaliforniaAmaazingI couldn't live without this thing! It's really great to throw in your overnight bag, doesn't take up more space than a brush. It works really well on my naturally straight hair to make it look really shiny and healthy. I wouldn't recommend on super curly hair though.posted Apr 28, 2010Link to this post

Caveman will play a small, intimate set to their hometown crowd in the lobby of Ace Hotel New York on Wednesday, October 3 at 5pm for 5 At 5, our ongoing series of live five-song sets by bands we love, in partnership with Bowery Presents and Martin Guitar. Caveman might be the quintessential New York rock band. Four out of five members hail from NYC, and the fifth is from upstate. Their lead guitarist, Jimmy Carbonetti, builds the band's guitars by hand in his East Village shop. Their song "My Time" has jangled inside 6,000 yellow cabs as the backing track of the "I Love New York" ad campaign. Their sound is buoyantly infectious "guitar-based pop songs full of subtlety and space and melodies you can carry around in your head," says NPR. Like a regular lunch pail of cadenced ideas, no less. Those are the New York craniums we know.
5 At 5 is up close and personal, free and open to all.

Exciting! Oregon is the Best!!! We're in Portland, but we go to the coast as often as possible...Such beauty & wonder...
ReplyDelete Oh my goodness. I haven't even mentally unpacked the boxes in your house for you, and you're moving? Wouldn't it be nice if they were also actually still packed? But the good news is that maybe, just maybe, there will be a way to have an IRL meet-up now that you'll be on the same coast, just a couple states and a border away. That would be fun. I could pay you for knitting lessons. =)
Happy moving, and happy finding roots and community and so much joy. The west coast is beautiful, and as much as I miss my midwestern roots and the friends and family who still live there, once the west coast ocean and mountains get into your blood stream it's no going back. Today I saw dozens of eagles - bald eagles and golden eagles. They are all enjoying the salmon who came into fresh waters to spawn and end their lifecycle. It happens every year at this time, and it's a glorious sight. And the tundra and trumpeter swans are here too. I hope you love it in your new home and that you guys get to feast on all the beauty that awaits.

Love the napkin cape!
Nice! One of the 2 shirts in the Fog I was hoping for. Perfect to wear when I have a double shift at work Congrats!
Heh. I like how his costume still looks homemade.
I don't drink coffee, and don't like Anvil..but I want this!
the eyeholes make the costume for sure.
To infinity and beyond!!!
I voted for this! I wish I could get it.
I'm going to wear it and order tea anyway, darn it. Because it's a Walmazan.
Gloves with no fingers begs the question: what does he hope to protect against? If you answered "teething babies", you are correct.
Definitely saves my life in the mornings.
I wish my coffee cups were all dressed like this...
Up, up and awake! Yay!
Another Walmazan for the collection! And a perfect fit for someone who, like me, just watched the movie Super. YAY WALMAZAN!!!
Also, the Watchmen write-up for this is awesome.
I believe his side kick should be the K-Cup or for me really he is K-Cup man...
Batman should take a leaf from Coffee Man's book and begin tucking his cape directly behind his face mask. I dub this the "highwater cape".
I hear there's people who can live for months on a diet of coffee, witty t-shirts and Walmazan.
walmazan wrote:Up, up and awake! Yay!
excellent write up...
Cute! Does he lose his super powers when the coffee's all gone?
The write-up says Watchmen, but the costume makes me think of the comic book Kick-@ss
Whoo-freakin'-hoo! And that's not meant sarcastically or ironically. I looove walmazan's shirts and I'm so glad this got a print, let alone first place! I just bought two.
If I were his sidekick, I would be responsible for putting those stickers over the lid so the precious nectar inside doesn't spill.
Oh! I forgot to mention, it was my 200th woot. ("Hi, my name is tabaddon, and I'm a woot addict.") I'm going to have some red velvet ice cream cake to celebrate. Another fun fact: I'm wearing a uniCONE shirt right now, and on Saturday I'll be wearing a The aVEGers! shirt to ECCC. Thanks, Wences!
Well... now is a good time as any to try out a WS Anvil.
This soooooo needs to be made into a nightshirt! Does shirt.woot ever DO nightshirts?
Yessss!! I wanted this shirt so bad and now all of my wildest dreams have come true. Congrats, Wences. Running to get my wallet...
I think the description was going for Batman, when the illustration is actually Superman. Other than that, Super Cup guy is really cute, and I like the "4.75 plus tax" ending.
Congratulations Wences! I've been waiting to see this one print for a long time!
Tea-drinkers, nothing about this is specifically coffee, carry-out tea comes in the same kind of cup, so I would say it's ambicaffeinish. If that was a word. Another great win for Señor Almazan. :^)
yet another shirt i would buy if there was a size/style that fit me. Boo. Also, I don't like coffee but this design is awesome. I'm sad now.
coolbana wrote:This soooooo needs to be made into a nightshirt! Does shirt.woot ever DO nightshirts?
Whoo hoo! That qualified as my very first quality post! Thanks shirt.woot!
They should probably just go ahead and change the domain to 'shirt.walmazan.com' instead.
Outstanding! Congrats on the print, sir.
Very tempted to start doing this at the coffee shop where I work. It would end up being the Glitter Caffienater. Because the glitter is an unstoppable fact of existence there.
congrats Walmazan! Man you've got an amazing month!!!

I'm with you! Friend bought one of these Anvil shirts. Shrunk 2 inches shorter in the wash, and is excessively wide in the torso. Sorry Shirt.Woot. You lost another customer.
Walmazan, you are so puny!
Congrats Wences!

Portola City Council implements rate increases effective July 1
In a decisive move, Portola's City Council passed Resolution No. 2095 at its July 13 meeting, implementing the city's proposed water and sewer rate increases as of July 1.
The resolution was originally presented May 11. It went through the Proposition 218 process without receiving a majority of protests, and the city held the requisite public hearing.
Although the 218 process was completed successfully, there was enough public protest to cause Mayor Dan Wilson to form the Ad Hoc Committee on Water and Sewer Rates to look further into the study.
Wilson said that, while he believed the rate increases were necessary or the city would face bankruptcy in three – five years, he wanted to know how much of an increase the community thought it could accept, or alternatively, if there was no level of increase the community would support. He thought the ad hoc committee would be able to determine this.
He appointed Mayor Pro Tem Juliana Mark and council member William Weaver to the committee.
Committee meetings, approximately seven of them, were freely attended by a number of community members, many of them former council members.
Mark remarked at the July 13 meeting, "Our intent is to focus on if there is a way to offset the water rate increase. We wanted a stronger understanding of how the numbers were derived."
Prior to leaving on an extended trip to Spain to participate in his daughter's wedding, Mayor Wilson became disillusioned with the committee's actions, as portrayed on its Internet site, and disbanded the committee.
In his absence, Mayor Pro Tem Mark, acting as mayor, reinstituted it at the next meeting. Admitting that the group had gotten off to a slow start and had gotten out of control, she felt that Wilson had misunderstood.
She and Weaver had been constrained by tenets of the Brown Act from speaking to Wilson directly, so much of last Wednesday's meeting consisted of discussion and explanation between the three of them.
Mark felt that they simply had different perspectives that, with sufficient understanding, might end up being in the same place.
Wilson countered that he had disbanded the committee because it had yet to examine the facts.
"Nothing has been evaluated. It looked to me like that wasn't happening and it still looks to me like that isn't happening."
He cited the most recent list of questions delivered to City Manager Leslie Tigan the previous Friday.
—Were you involved in formulating the numbers?
—What was the mindset regarding formulating the numbers?
—Are the numbers inflated and if so, why?
—Do you feel that inflating the numbers is a good idea?
These questions and others like them felt more like an accusation of a criminal act than trying to understand, Wilson argued. He wanted to disband the committee once again, but felt ineffectual.
"I disbanded it once and it's like a starfish," he said.
To do so might make it look like the city did not want to answer the questions, cautioned Mark.
Wilson countered that the questions could always be answered, but that he would prefer those discussions happen in full council.
Mark and Weaver came to agree with him.
Community member Gail Massey thought that discussions with full council and staff present might result in faster answers.
Community member Larry Douglas described at length a mission considerably broader than either Wilson or Mark had envisioned. He summarized, "We are looking for you to be our servants and use our money to your best ability."
Several other members of the community, council member John Larrieu, City Attorney Steve Gross, and City Finance Officer Susan Scarlet all participated in the lengthy discussion.
"The goal is to have pure drinking water for Portola and an ample supply of it," said Larrieu. "We've done due diligence. We've gone through the process. I don't know where else we could go."
In the course of discussion, city staff reiterated that all the numbers were in the budget or included in the appendix of the rate study. The methodology and the answers to the other questions were addressed in the body of the rate study.
Tigan went on to answer each of the questions on the list, naming all the employees, describing their duties and how they kept track of their time on different projects.
After the lengthy question-and-answer period, community member Bob Morton expressed his agreement with the mayor's decision to disband the committee.
"I read the 40-page HDR report and it explains everything that's going on," he said. He felt that the committee was just redoing work that had already been done.
"I'm ready to get on with it," Morton added.
When Wilson asked for input from council members regarding the resolution, Curt McBride finally spoke: "This information has been out there for a long, long time."
After recounting the history, he motioned to accept the resolution instituting the rate hikes.
Wilson made a quick second.
A request for public comment encouraged Larry Douglas, who said, "I think you are our servants and should be listening to us. We're really concerned about your 218 process. You violated the intent of it, although you did it legally. You've done other things the same way."
A roll call vote produced three ayes, with Weaver and Mark dissenting.
By comparison, the labor negotiations with Tigan, regarding her new contract with the city, was anticlimactic.
After a relatively brief closed session, with no action to report, the council went back into open session.
Larrieu motioned to approve the contract. All council members were in agreement.
Gross described the terms of the two-year contract: $82,000 per year for both jobs (as city manager and as city administrative services manager), which is about $10,000 more than Tigan's current compensation.
However, while she serves in dual capacity, she waived compensation she normally would receive as city treasurer and city clerk.
"That comes to $1,800 per year," said Gross, "so the compensation adjustment is roughly $8,500 per year."
Gross described the contract as terminable at will by either party. No severance was provided if Tigan were terminated from the city manager position, but was provided in the event she was terminated without cause from both positions. Under those conditions, she would receive six months' severance pay and three months of health insurance coverage.
Since the city's adopted budget did not incorporate rate increases, now approved, the additional remuneration granted to Tigan will not add to the deficit. The new rates were designed by HDR Engineering specifically to avoid a deficit.

The Power of a Positive Attitude
This guest post is by Autism Speaks staffer Kerry Magro. Kerry, an adult who has autism, is a graduate student at Seton Hall University, and is actively involved with our college program. Autism Speaks U is an initiative designed to support college students in their awareness, advocacy and fundraising efforts.
One of the greatest lessons I ever learned in college was the ability to lead through, "The Power of a Positive Attitude." When I was growing up it was always difficult for me to commit to things, always hard for me to get to that next level. A big part of that was based on my attitude. I didn't know it back then but I was blind from how my attitude was leading the direction of my life. I struggled so much back when I was a kid it was always tough for me to focus on what was needed to overcome those obstacles.
College did change me though. It made me understand the need to take my attitude that indeed dramatically changed in high school to another level again. This happened when I started to realize there's a solution to everything. Indeed, some of these solutions are ever changing as our society evolves and gains more knowledge but like what my mom would always tell me, "there are no problems, just solutions." This helped me tremendously. Whether it was was getting accommodations for classes or even finding a way for an individual with autism such as myself to get a masters degree in strategic communication, the solution was there for me to find.
For all those reading what I hope you take from this is that even though there is a great deal of uncertainty out there involving autism that you understand we must continue to push positivity in everything we do. There are answers out there to help our loved ones succeed, autistic or not. Getting down on ourselves will help no one in our pursuits for a better tomorrow. Our community is in desperate need of this. I know this might be harder for some but for those individuals I ask that you make an effort to lose yourself in your passions to make a difference for yourself and the lives of others.
Tell yourself, there are ways to improve my life. There are ways to help my loved ones. Make these your mantra. We spend so much time sometimes saying what we don't have, what services we can't find, what diagnosis's we can't get, that we don't appreciate what we have today. Mahatma Gandhi said, "Be the change you want to see in the world." Live your life with no more problems but instead strive to find the solutions. And if you can, do it with a smile. It can make a world of difference. It did for me.

Were you one of the 49 million people on the internet who watched that "Gangnam Style" video from the South Korean rapper PSY and wondered what the hell was going on? Max Fisher at The Atlantic has an excellent explainer about the "subversive message" of the video today.
The song is a satire of Seoul's tony "Gangnam" neighborhood, the epicenter of the country's maxed-out-credit-card-fueled materialism, according to Fisher. Most interesting is the interpretation of the lyrics:
This skewering of the Gangnam life can be easy to miss for non-Korean. Psy boasts that he's a real man who drinks a whole cup of coffee in one gulp, for example, insisting he wants a women who drinks coffee. "I think some of you may be wondering why he's making such a big deal out of coffee, but it's not your ordinary coffee," U.S.-based Korean blogger Jea Kim wrote at her site, My Dear Korea... "In Korea, there's a joke poking fun at women who eat 2,000-won (about $2) ramen for lunch and then spend 6,000 won on Starbucks coffee." They're called Doenjangnyeo, or "soybean paste women" for their propensity to crimp on essentials so they can over-spend on conspicuous luxuries, of which coffee is, believe it or not, one of the most common.
Check out the whole explainer here. And if you still can't get enough Gangnam, a new remix featuring K-pop starlet Hyuna was released on August 14th.

In the end, Steve Klassen and Robert Calvert stood like blood brothers in the hallway outside Mammoth Lakes Town Council Chambers, joined by their commitment to medical marijuana.
Both had won licenses to open cooperatives in Mammoth, courtesy of the Mammoth Lakes Planning Commission, which on Wednesday voted to award them the licenses, turning down a bid by Dagmar Zila of the Range of Light Wellness Center.
It was a short but convivial tête-a-tête, with hand shaking and a mutual pledge to help each other in the myriad issues facing them as Mammoth moves into the medical marijuana age.
Last Sunday, our good friend Erick Sugimura defied the wind and started running with the family dog, Tang, on the Downtown bike trail, but after a quarter mile a tree broke off and hit the ground about 40 yards away. ŌĆ£Seriously,ŌĆØ he Facebooked, ŌĆ£it was probably 20-30 feet tall and six to eight feet in diameter!ŌĆØ ThereŌĆÖs a term for that: ŌĆ£Red Fir Roulette,ŌĆØ and you can ask Bob Solima about it. He saw plenty of action like that as longtime winter caretaker at Reds Meadow. ...
Caught between the Great Basin to the east and Mojave Desert to the south, halfway between Southern and Northern California, backed by some of the highest mountains on the continent, Mammoth is a study in convergences and contrasts.
Its weather is no exception. High mountains do make their own weather to some extent, or block, mitigate or amplify whatŌĆÖs already out there.
Add the fact that Mammoth is almost precisely on the forecasting boundary between Northern and Southern California.
The California Department of Fish and Game will meet in November to vote on a controversial measure that some say will impact private fish stocking operations throughout the Eastern Sierra.
Specifically, the measure would require any entity in the state that stocks its waters from a private or state-run fishery to pay for an environmental study to ensure the fish do not interfere with, or cause harm to, one of 87 species under concern.
While the DFG says Eastern Sierra operations will not be impacted, local fish farmers aren't convinced.
As if Jack Copeland doesnŌĆÖt have enough to do on Mammoth Mountain.
In an effort to more effectively train and retain its employees, Mammoth Mountain Ski Area (MMSA) has instituted a new management development initiative, headed by Copeland, the director of human resources at the ski hill.
The program is designed to identify employees with management aptitude and ambition and then properly teach them the fundamentals of leadership and management.
This new initiative will help to mentor, coach and track performance of new managers to help them improve.
In a national park loaded with unusual and fascinating sights, people camping in Yosemite earlier this month saw an unusual sight in the form of ... Oprah Winfrey?!?!?
In the park in early October to film two shows based on her experiences in the park, the media megastar and her friend spent two days and one night in and around Yosemite Valley, according to Donna Sisson, the branch chief for public involvement and outreach.
The shows are scheduled for Friday, Oct. 29 and Monday, Nov. 1.
As pot busts go, the Tuesday arrest of Mammoth resident James Carlson was over the top.
The bust was by Mono County sheriff deputies assigned to the Mono Narcotics Enforcement Team (MONET), according to a press release from the sheriff's office. One deputy as wearing in street clothes. The other deputy was wearing sweater over his uniform and a portion of his duty gun belt. Yet another, a specialist from the California Drug Enforcement Section, were traveling in an unmarked MONET vehicle on Frontage Road in Mammoth.
Following All Hallows Eve, trick-or-treaters trickle into the dentistŌĆÖs office to trade in their loot. At times, ŌĆ£weŌĆÖve seen great reluctance,ŌĆØ said local dentist Byron Sansom.
ŌĆ£Last year, a child came in with two bags. He said, ŌĆśyou can have this bag, but you canŌĆÖt have the other one,ŌĆÖŌĆØ referring to his personal stash.
Dr. Sansom transforms trick-or-treat with his second annual ŌĆścash for candyŌĆÖ event that captures the hearts of local kids, their parents, and military personnel. This year, he joins forces with a newly formed movement to focus on the troops who call Mono County home.
Workers at Mammoth Mountain Ski Area began making snow Monday night after temperatures dipped well into the 20s ŌĆō cold enough to start.
The snowmaking operation was still underway Tuesday afternoon on Broadway, with temperatures steady at 36 degrees and calm winds.
Snowmaking is possible only when the outside temperature is below 42.8 degrees F (six degrees C). On Monday night, the temperature at Main Lodge hovered in the mid- to low 30s for most of night, hitting its nadir at 29 degrees.
FDA Issues Consumer Safety Alert: HylandŌĆÖs Teething Tablets may pose a risk to children The U.S. Food and Drug Administration today is warning consumers that HylandŌĆÖs Teething Tablets may pose a risk to children, according to an FDA release forwarded by Mono County Public Health Officer Richard Johnson.
The FDA recommends that consumers not use this product and dispose of any in their possession. The manufacturer is issuing a recall of this product.
Yosemite National Park on Monday afternoon re-opened the Tioga Road after snow and icy conditions closed Tioga Pass on Saturday, according to Yosemite National Park's road information hotline.
The road is the popular east-west crossing of the Sierra Nevada through the park.
The Mammoth Town Council is now officially girding for a loss in the $30 million ongoing ŌĆ£Hot CreekŌĆØ airport litigation.
Based on the comments and questions made at a Sacramento hearing by a panel of judges, the Town Council concluded Wednesday that there is a significant risk that the trial court verdict will be upheld. A decision is expected within 90 days.
In preparation for a potential negative ruling, the Council is exploring options, town officials said in a press release Thursday afternoon. Among them are:
It was blustery. It was tempestuous. Sunday's windstorm also was dangerous, as a Fresno truck driver and his female passenger found out when they blown right off the road.
The accident happened as the man's tractor-trailer was northbound on U.S. 395 near Mammoth Yosemite Airport. According to reports from the California Highway Patrol in Bishop, the accident happened Sunday at about 11 p.m.
A strong gust of wind blew the empty truck-and-trailer combination onto its right side and onto the right shoulder.

ItŌĆÖs one thing to find a fly in the ointment. ItŌĆÖs quite another when that fly hits you up for $95,000, which is what happened Wednesday night, when the Mammoth Lakes Town Council found aforesaid fly sitting right in the middle of its airport runway.
Sky West, the United Airlines subsidiary that is to fly daily to and from Mammoth and San Francisco starting in December, hit up the town with a surprise demand for two pricey pieces of ground equipment, catching the council, Town Manager Rob Clark and Airport Director Bill Manning off guard.

Sports safety: not just for the home stretch
(NewsUSA) - You know that your child should wear safety equipment for the big game. But do you practice equal vigilance at your child's practice? If you don't, you're not alone. According to Safe Kids USA, 33 percent of parents take more safety precautions for games, even though 62 percent of organized sports-related injuries happen at practice.
There's no doubt that sports benefit kids. In fact, the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that every child participate in sports or another activity that promotes physical activity. So what can parents do to make practices safer? Here are some tips:
* Make sure your child is healthy enough to play sports in the first place. Children should receive sports physicals before signing up for any sport.
* Make sure that practice facilities are safe. For example, ask your school to make the gymnasium less slippery. Some companies are actually designing floor cleaners that increase slip-resistance. For example, Traction-Pak from PAK-IT (www.pakit.com) cleans and polishes floors while also creating a non-slip surface.
As slips and falls are a major cause of injury in schools, cleaning hallways and cafeteria, as well as gyms, with a slip-resistant floor cleaner is an easy way to improve overall safety.
* Make sure kids wear the proper safety equipment for their sport. Equipment should fit well and look well maintained. And children should wear the same equipment for practice as they do at games.
* Don't allow your child to overtrain. In the past, child athletes played different sports each season. Now, children face pressure to choose one sport and play it all year, leading to overuse and repetitive-motion injuries, such as pitcher's elbow. Encourage children to try different sports and, if they only want to play one, have them try different positions.
* Keep kids fueled. Overexertion and dehydration also pose problems on the practice field. Provide healthy snacks, and make sure that kids drink enough water. In hot weather, coaches should give children frequent breaks.

The Global White Lion Protection Trust (WLT)
A leader in community-based conservation.
The White Lion Trust is a registered NPO/Public Benefit Organisation, situated in a Protected Area of nearly 4,400 acres of endemic bushveld, acquired by the White Lion Trust, where 3 prides of White Lions have been integrated with wild golden lions and reintroduced to their natural system in a carefully-phased scientific reintroduction program. Since commercial trophy hunting of lions takes place on our borders, this Protected Area is electrified with hi-spec predator-proof fencing to provide a safe environment for the critically endangered White Lions to roam freely in their ancestral heritage lands. Founded in 2002 by Linda Tucker, after nearly 10 years of intensive research on both the cultural and conservation importance of the unique White Lions in this region, the White Lion Trust has a strong track record over 2 decades of creating mutual benefits for Lions, Land, and People.
The White lions
A global heritage, which occurred in one place only on earth.
Endemic to the Timbavati and Kruger regions at the epicentre of the UNESCO-declared Kruger-to-Canyons Biosphere (K2C), the White Lions are a genetic rarity of Panthera leo. Their conservation significance within this wildlife ecosystem is matched by their iconic cultural value in local Tsonga and Sepedi communities, supported by other indigenous authorities around the globe. Today, however, after 6 decades of forcible removals from their endemic habitat, most White Lions are held captive in zoos and circuses worldwide. They may be commercially hunted in their wild habitat, and worse: speed-bred to be killed as victims of the notorious 'Canned Hunting' industry. Tragically, there are 100s of White Lions in captivity; but less than 13 in the wilds of their endemic habitat.
Our Mission
Creating a LionHearted World for Lions, Land and People
Over 2 decades, the White Lion Trust has implemented a multi-level strategy, which celebrates culture, advances social learning, uplifts the local living economy, and revives the biodiversity and dignity of human life and wildlife. This Lionhearted Leadership Model is inspiring 'revival beyond mere survival': restoring health and prosperity to the human world, and abundance to the natural kingdom. By saving the White Lions – supreme indicators of Natural Order – we are saving the whole of nature, including ourselves.

Evaluation of Nelfinavir and Chemoradiation for Pancreatic Cancer

- How to Read a Study Record
This study is designed to evaluate if nelfinavir works as a radiation sensitizer in combination with gemcitabine (a chemotherapy). We are also looking to establish the maximum dose of gemcitabine that is tolerated with the nelfinavir and radiation therapy, so the dose of gemcitabine is increased based on how previous trial participants tolerated their dose of gemcitabine.
Condition | Intervention | Phase |
Pancreatic Neoplasms |
Drug: Nelfinavir Drug: Gemcitabine |

Study Type: | Interventional |
Study Design: | Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment Masking: Open Label Primary Purpose: Treatment |
Official Title: | A Phase I/II Trial of the HIV Protease Inhibitor Nelfinavir and Concurrent Radiation and Chemotherapy in Patients With Locally Advanced Pancreatic Cancer |
- Dose limiting toxicities [ Time Frame: Six weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]Evaluating adverse events and their association to the treatment to determine the recommended phase II dose of gemcitabine.
- Surgical resection rate [ Time Frame: 8 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]Evaluate the number of subjects who are now surgically resectable and then correlate the pathological outcomes with treatment (i.e., tumor cell kill).

Experimental: phase 1/2
An escalating study of gemcitabine when combined with 1250 mg of nelfinavir twice daily. Dose of gemcitabine is increased for new subjects based on the experiences and tolerance of prior subjects. When the maximum tolerated dose is identified, a recommended phase 2 dose will be assigned and further subjects will receive that dose.
Drug: Nelfinavir
1250 mg twice daily
Other Name: Viracept
Drug: Gemcitabine
Escalating doses of gemcitabine during concurrent radiation and nelfinavir therapy.
Other Name: Gemzar
Detailed Description:
This trial utilizes gemcitabine (a chemotherapy agent commonly used for pancreatic cancer) and nelfinavir (an anti-retroviral agent FDA-approved for use in HIV+ patients) in addition to radiation therapy for treatment of borderline resectable pancreatic cancer. The trial seeks to determine the maximum tolerated dose of gemcitabine when administered concurrently with radiation therapy and 1250 mg nelfinavir twice daily.
The gemcitabine and radiation is standard; the dose of gemcitabine does vary nationally and internationally as to what the 'best dose' is. Administered weekly, doses can range from 400 mg/m2 to 1000 mg/m2. Thus, this is why the proposed clinical trial escalates the gemcitabine.
The gemcitabine will be administered weekly during radiation therapy for a total of 6 cycles. After completion of radiation therapy, the subjects will be evaluated by the surgeons for resectability. This ends the active portion of the clinical trial; the subjects will be followed for long-term progression free survival and for overall survival.
Primary endpoints for this trial are identifying the maximum tolerated dose of gemcitabine when administered concurrently with nelfinavir and radiation therapy (the phase I portion of this study) and the rate of resectability (typically, utilizing gemcitabine plus radiation therapy will convert up to 30% of patients from borderline resectable to resectable) for the phase II portion of the study.
Interim analyses and stopping rules are in place if an effect size is not observed in the therapeutic group compared to published reports of response to standard chemoradiation for borderline resectable cases.

The Bad & the Ugly
HACKETTSTOWN, NJ — There aren't many bright spots in either the overall economy or a housing market that's expected to be down again in 2008, but the kitchen and bath industry "is likely to remain in relatively good shape compared to other segments of the construction industry."
That's the word from the National Kitchen & Bath Association, which last month issued its annual Kitchen/Bath Industry Outlook, containing two distinctly different forecasts for 2008 – an optimistic, or "soft landing," and a pessimistic, or "hard landing."
In general, the kitchen and bath market will continue in 2008 to be supported by a strong foundation for resiliency, if not growth, according to Ed Pell, manager of market research for the Hackettstown, NJ-based NKBA.
"Remodeling is still strong, making up the bulk of the market," Pell observes. "Dipping home values and prices act as a spur to kitchen and bath remodeling, since consumers trying to sell [tend to] improve their homes in the hope of attracting buyers, and homeowners staying put improve their homes for an enhanced lifestyle and increased home value."
Pell also points out that, in terms of demographics, the trailing edge of the baby boom generation is still at prime remodeling age, while echo boomers are beginning to form households. In addition, he notes that "cocooning" – the phenomenon that has people retreating into their homes – remains a major market factor and is likely to intensify as the economy worsens, spurring the desire for a better kitchen and bathroom.
"Kitchen and bath products and design options have more visibility than ever, thanks to the media and the Internet – and that visibility fuels consumer desire," Pell explains. "And helping drive bath remodeling, especially, is the continuing decline of one-income households, which cause two [or more] people to have to share a bathroom at the same time."
'Soft' or 'Hard' Landings
With home values falling, home equity withdrawal declining, mortgage delinquencies on the rise, housing starts down and consumer confidence shaky at best, it will almost certainly be a down year for the kitchen and bath industry, the NKBA forecast predicts.
How steep the decline will be, however, remains up in the air.
If inflation remains low, if increases in the unemployment rate remain modest and if the ripple effect of the mortgage crisis remains relatively contained, remodeling should see only a minor disruption – and the total kitchen and bath market should see only a small downturn, according to the NKBA.
Under this "soft landing" scenario, the NKBA sees housing starts holding at the National Association of Home Builders' forecasted 1.081-million-unit mark, with 796,000 single-family starts and 285,000 multi-family starts.
According to Pell, that would mean 1.081 million kitchens in new construction for 2008, a drop of more than 20% from 2007, with total kitchen spending by builders at about $22.7 billion, down 25%. Under that scenario, remodeled kitchens would slump just 2%, to 7.4 million units, while kitchen remodeling spending would total $87.6 billion, down about 9% from last year.
That would peg the total kitchen market, in a soft landing, at 8.5 million kitchens, down 5% year-over-year, at a total expenditure of $110.3 billion, a 13% decline.
The "soft landing" bathroom scenario sees baths in new construction down 21%, to 3.3 million units, with new construction bath spending by builders down 27%, to about $16.9 billion. Remodeled baths would be up roughly 2%, to just under 11.1 million units, although remodeled bath spending would dip 4% to about $67.4 billion.
The total bath market, under that scenario, would amount to 14.3 million baths, down 4% from 2007, with spending in the $84.3 billion range, about a 10% drop.
A "hard landing" presents an entirely different set of circum-stances – and far different results.
Under that pessimistic scenario, the NKBA sees housing starts slumping to below 1.1 million units, compounded by a serious national recession. In this projection, there would be 1.050 million new construction kitchens, a 23% drop, with spending on those kitchens by builders down 28%, to $22.1 billion. New construction baths would be down 21%, to 3.25 million units, with spending at $16.9 billion, a 27% drop.
A hard landing, according to the NKBA, would also mean that kitchen remodeling would decline 5%, to 7.2 million kitchens, while bath remodeling would be down 4%, to 10.4 million units. Kitchen remodeling spending, under those circumstances, would dip 12%, to $84.7 billion, while bath remodeling spending would slip 8% to $64.9 billion, according to the NKBA.
A hard landing scenario would put the total kitchen market at 8.2 million units, down 8% from last year, with total kitchen expenditures at $106.7 billion. Total baths would reach almost 13.7 million units, down nearly 9%, and total bath spending would drop 12% to $81.8 billion.
Results from 2007
How did the kitchen and bath market perform in 2007?
New construction figures were horrendous. New construction kitchens declined by 26%, to 1.36 million units, with spending by builders on those units at $30.4 billion, down 29%, according to the NKBA. In similar fashion, new construction bathrooms fell 21% last year from 2006 levels, to 4.12 million units at a direct builder investment of $23.1 billion, a 17% drop. There were 1.3 million master baths, 2.3 million other full baths and 531,000 powder rooms in new construction last year, according to the NKBA.
It was a different story for kitchen and bath remodeling.
According to NKBA, consumers continued to remodel their kitchens in large numbers, and remodeling jobs increased 1.7% over 2006 levels, to almost 7.6 million units.
However, spending on kitchen remodeling dropped 24% from the previous year, to $96.2 billion, the trade association reports.
"Consumers seemed to spend less across the board," Pell says.
NKBA statistics reveal that luxury jobs were down 40% and luxury spending ($50,000 or more) was down 46%. In 2006, 7% of total kitchen remodeling jobs were in the luxury category, but last year just 4% were. Median jobs ($20,000-$49,999) were down 33% and median spending was down 30%. Just under 10% of the total number of jobs were in the median price bracket last year, compared to 14% in 2006.
By contrast, fundamental jobs (under $20,000) were up 12%, and fundamental spending was up 10%. Jobs in the fundamental bracket made up 86% of all jobs last year, compared to 79% of all jobs in 2006.
"It appears the kitchen remodeling market shifted lower in price and that consumers pulled in their spending, opting for less lavish jobs," Pell says.
Although there was some indication that consumers pulled back slightly on bath remodeling spending, 2007 was a very good year for bath remodeling. Jobs increased 5% to nearly 10.9 million units, and bath remodeling spending was up 3.9% to $70.2 billion, NKBA said.
The number of luxury bath remodels (on which more than $20,000 was spent) dipped about 10% to just under 557,000 units last year, but spending on luxury jobs jumped 36% over 2006 levels to $30.2 billion.
Median bath remodeling jobs in 2007 (priced between $5,000-$19,999) dipped 3.9% from the year before, to just under 2.5 million units. Spending on median bath remodeling was up about 13% over 2006 levels to approximately $23.5 billion.
Last year saw a 10% increase in fundamental bath remodeling jobs (under $5,000) to over 7.8 million units. Spending on those jobs, however, dipped 33% from 2006 levels to just under $16.5 billion.
The number of master bathrooms remodeled last year was up 5% to just under 5.4 million units. There were 3.8 million other full baths remodeled in 2007, down about 1% from 2006, and about 1.7 million powder rooms remodeled, up 24% from the year before.
Other findings in the NKBA's forecast were as follows:
- The number of consumers who claimed to have designed their kitchen remodeling jobs themselves increased from 74% in 2006 to nearly 80% in 2007. "How much of this number is real do-it-yourself design work is open to question," Pell states. "It's also unknown how many jobs were strict replacement jobs, in which new product went into space occupied by existing product and there was no actual redesign."
- Do-it-yourself installation activity remains high. Some 48% of last year's kitchen remodeling households reported that all of the installation was performed by the consumer or family members, up 3% from 2006 levels. In all, three out of every four kitchen remodeling jobs had some or all of the installation performed by amateurs, while 52% had some or all performed by professionals, according to the NKBA.
- Interestingly, satisfaction levels with the finished kitchen product increased in 2007. Some 97% of 2007 kitchen remodeling households say they are somewhat or extremely satisfied with their resulting project, up from 95% in 2006. Just 1% declared themselves somewhat or extremely dissatisfied, down from nearly 3% who were dissatisfied in 2006.
- Some 81% of consumers who remodeled a bathroom in 2007 claimed to have designed the project themselves, down from 87% who did so in 2006. To what extent this represents real do-it-yourself design work, as opposed to memory revised by desire, is open to question. It might also be noted that many bath remodeling jobs were mostly replacement jobs, with new product plugged in where old product once was.
- Consumers said that some 53% of jobs were installed entirely by themselves or family members in 2007, down from 59% last year.
- Satisfaction with finished bathroom projects was stratospheric. Some 97% of bath remodeling customers said they were somewhat or extremely satisfied with the results, while less than 1% said they were somewhat or extremely dissatisfied.

text: It began over 35 years ago, it was another beautiful day at the beach…and then I saw another broken sandal littering the very beach I was enjoying. It gave me and idea, why not make a better sandal, one that would last a long time and be so comfortable. So the process began, I researched and developed until the formula was just right. The final product was Rainbow sandals, quality sandals that are second to none. Rainbow sandals are created by hand using especially formulated glue to keep the layers together and the straps in place (no more broken sandals littering our beaches). I personally formulated the various densities of sponge rubber with "memory" to mold to each individual's feet, (very comfortable). It's the reputation of this comfort and durability that has passed on from customer to customer; word of mouth and proof of product is how we've grown. Our sandals connect with our customers and their lifestyles. We love hearing stories from people about the comfort they enjoy and the countless miles they've walked in our sandals. All our customers say "I love my Rainbow Sandals." We hope that you will too. Jay R. Longley, Jr. President\Founder (read more)

This demo shows how to implement a communication channel for use with Real-Time Workshop® and your own custom target support package.
This communication channel enables the exchange of data between different processes. This supports capabilities such as processor-in-the-loop (PIL) simulation that require exchange of data between the Simulink® software environment (running on your host machine) and deployed code (running on target hardware).
You will learn about the rtIOStream interface and how it provides a generic communication channel that you can implement in the form of target connectivity drivers for a range of different connection types. This demo explains how to use the default implementation via TCP/IP.
You will learn how two entities, Station A and Station B, can use the rtIOStream interface to set up a communication channel and exchange data. For the purposes of this demo, both Station A and Station B are configured within the same process on your desktop computer.
You will learn how to use the target connectivity drivers to support an on-target PIL simulation. For on-target simulation, Station A and Station B represent the target and host computers that exchange data via the communication channel. On the host side, the target connectivity driver is implemented as a shared library that is loaded and called from within MATLAB®. On the target side, the driver must be source code or a library that is linked into the application that runs on the target.
Additionally, this demo explains the steps required to:
The file rtiostream_tcpip.c implements both client-side and server-side TCP/IP communication; a startup parameter is used to configure the driver to operate in either client or server mode. You may use this source file as a starting point for a custom implementation. Note that, in general, each side of the communication channel requires only one of the server or client implementations; if the client and server drivers will run on different architectures, it may be convenient to place the driver code for each architecture in a separate source file.
The header file rtiostream.h contains prototypes for the functions rtIOStreamOpen, rtIOStreamSend, rtIOStreamRecv, and rtIOStreamClose. It must always be included (using #include ) by any custom implementation.
You can execute the following commands to find and view the files:
% Location of TCP/IP driver source code rtiostreamtcpip_dir=fullfile(matlabroot,'rtw','c','src','rtiostream',... 'rtiostreamtcpip'); % View rtiostream_tcpip.c edit(fullfile(rtiostreamtcpip_dir,'rtiostream_tcpip.c')); % View rtiostream.h edit(fullfile(matlabroot,'rtw','c','src','rtiostream.h'));
To access the target connectivity drivers from MATLAB, they must be compiled to a shared library. The shared library must be located on your system path. A shared library for the default TCP/IP drivers is located in matlabroot/bin/$ARCH path (where $ARCH is your system architecture, e.g., win64)
You can execute the following commands to find the appropriate files:
% The shared library filename extension and location depends on your % operating system. sharedLibExt=system_dependent('GetSharedLibExt'); if ispc prefix = ''; else prefix='libmw'; end % Shared library for both Station A and Station B libTcpip = [prefix 'rtiostreamtcpip' sharedLibExt]; disp(['Shared library for both Station A and Station B is: ' libTcpip '.'])
Shared library for both Station A and Station B is: rtiostreamtcpip.dll.
If you are implementing a custom target connectivity driver, it is helpful to be able to test it from within MATLAB. The following example shows how to load the default TCP/IP target connectivity drivers and use them for data exchange between Station A and Station B.
To access the drivers you can use the MEX-file rtiostream_wrapper. This MEX-file allows you to load the shared library and access the rtIOStream functions to open and close an rtIOStream channel and send and receive data.
In the example code shown below, both Station A and Station B are running on the host computer. Station A is configured as a TCP/IP server and Station B as a TCP/IP client. For host to target communication, the host is typically configured as a TCP/IP client and the target as a TCP/IP server.
% Choose a port number for TCP if usejava('jvm') % Find a free port tempSocket = java.net.ServerSocket(0); port = num2str(tempSocket.getLocalPort); tempSocket.close; else % Resort to a hard-coded port port = '14646'; end % Open the Station A rtIOStream as a TCP/IP server stationA = rtiostream_wrapper(libTcpip,'open',... '-client', '0',... '-blocking', '0',... '-port',port); % If the communication channel was successfully opened, the return value is a % handle to the connection; a return value of -1 indicates an error. assert(stationA~=(-1)) % Test for expected return value % Open the Station B rtIOStream as a TCP/IP client stationB = rtiostream_wrapper(libTcpip,'open',... '-client','1',... '-blocking', '0',... '-port',port,... '-hostname','localhost'); % If the communication channel was successfully opened, the return value is a % handle to the connection; a return value of -1 indicates an error. assert(stationB~=(-1)) % Test for expected return value
The target connectivity drivers are designed to send a stream of data in 8-bit bytes. For processors that are not byte-addressable, the data is sent in the smallest addressable word size.
You can execute the following commands to send and receive the data:
% Send Some Data from Station B to Station A msgOut = uint8('Station A, this is Station B. Are you there? OVER'); [retVal sizeSent] = rtiostream_wrapper(libTcpip,... 'send',... stationB,... msgOut,... length(msgOut)); assert(retVal==0); % A return value of zero indicates success assert(sizeSent==length(msgOut)); % Check that all bytes in the message were sent % Allow time to ensure data transmission is complete pause(0.2) % Receive data on the Station A [retVal msgRecvd sizeRecvd] = rtiostream_wrapper(libTcpip,... 'recv',... stationA,... 100); assert(retVal==0); % A return value of zero indicates success assert(sizeRecvd==sizeSent); % Check that all bytes in the message were received % Display the received data disp(['The received data is:' char(msgRecvd)])
The received data is:Station A, this is Station B. Are you there? OVER
You can execute the following commnads to send a response back to Station B:
% Send data from Station A to Station B msgOut = uint8('Station B, this is Station A. Yes, I''m here! OVER.'); [retVal sizeSent] = rtiostream_wrapper(libTcpip,... 'send',... stationA,... msgOut,... length(msgOut)); % Allow time to ensure data transmission is complete pause(0.2) % Receive data on Station B [retVal msgRecvd sizeRecvd] = rtiostream_wrapper(libTcpip,... 'recv',... stationB,... 100); % Display the received data disp(char(msgRecvd))
Station B, this is Station A. Yes, I'm here! OVER.
Finally, you can execute the following commands to close the connection and unload the shared libraries:
% Close rtIOStream on the Station B retVal = rtiostream_wrapper(libTcpip,'close',stationB); assert(retVal==0); % A return value of zero indicates no error % Close rtIOStream on the Station A retVal = rtiostream_wrapper(libTcpip,'close',stationA); assert(retVal==0) % A return value of zero indicates no error % Unload the shared library rtiostream_wrapper(libTcpip, 'unloadlibrary');
You can use the supplied host-side driver for serial communications as an alternative to the drivers for TCP/IP. You can configure the serial driver using a similar approach to the TCP/IP driver. For example, to open a serial rtiostream channel, on COM8, enter the command:
stationA = rtiostream_wrapper('rtiostreamserial.dll','open','-port','COM8')
The syntax for the 'send', 'recv', 'close', and 'unload' operations is the same as for the TCP/IP driver. Note that the serial driver is only available on the Windows platform.
If your target has an Ethernet connection and you have a TCP/IP stack available, follow these steps:
Note that the default host-side driver used by PIL mode is configured as a TCP/IP client; this means that your target-side driver need only be configured to operate as a TCP/IP server.
If you need to use a communications channel that is not already supported on the host side, you will have to write drivers for both host and target. In this case you can still use the rtiostream_wrapper MEX-file for testing your rtIOStream drivers.
You can implement the target connectivity drivers using many different communication channels. For example, you may need to implement host-target communications via a special serial connection. In this case you must provide drivers for both the host and target.
On the host side, you can test the drivers using the rtiostream_wrapper MEX-file. Note that if your driver includes diagnostic output using the printf command, these must be replaced with the mexPrintf command if the shared library is being loaded by rtiostream_wrapper.
When you have a working host-side device driver, you must make it available within the Simulink software environment. For PIL simulation, you can do this by registering the shared host-side shared library via the sl_customization command.

INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. — Nevada Highway Patrol Trooper Chuck Allen will square off in November against Tim Kuzanek in the race to become Washoe County's next sheriff.
Allen, 53, easily earned the most votes in Tuesday's primary election, according to unofficial results from Washoe County, with 22,084 votes, accounting for 46.08 percent.
"I'm very excited, appreciative and somewhat overwhelmed at the support I received (Tuesday) night," Allen said Wednesday. "My No. 1 goal is to reach out and speak to as many voters as possible over the next 5 months. I feel like I've established a good rapport with the community as a spokesperson for (NHP) the past 10-plus years, but I know I need to have more face-to-face time with all the voters in Washoe County."
Kuzanek, 47, who is the current Washoe County undersheriff, earned 13,325 votes (27.80 percent).
"I'm happy that we had so much support, and I'm so appreciative of the thousands who voted to me … I plan to work every day trying to garner as much support and earn as much public trust as I can," Kuzanek said Wednesday. "I plan to continue to attending Bonanza meetings, CAB meetings … and as many other social events and various functions as possible so I can get my fingers on the pulse of what's happening in Incline Village."
The two will vie for the seat being vacated by Sheriff Mike Haley, who is not seeking a third term.
"Incline Village residents should vote for me because I have served in the Sheriff's Office for over 20 years, I have worked in every part of this county, and I understand the law enforcement concerns of Incline Village," Kuzanek said in a previous interview. "I have that experience and I believe I'm the right candidate to get the job done."
Allen, meanwhile, said his 24-year career with NHP sets him up well.
"As a visible, approachable and caring individual, I believe bringing new perspectives and a community-oriented policing vision are what allow me to be the best choice for your next sheriff," he told the Bonanza in April.
In all, 47,927 votes were counted for sheriff in Tuesday's primary. Jim Lopey finished third in the five-person race, with 7,334 votes, while David Butko and James Beltron finished fourth and fifth, respectively.
Across Washoe County, 24,638 residents voted in Tuesday's primary, according to statistics provided by the registrar of voters. Further, 22,841 residents voted early.
Also, 3,488 people voted via absentee ballot. In all, 50,960 votes were tallied for Tuesday's primary, accounting for 23.43 percent of the county's 217,521 registered voters.
In all, 27,587 registered Republicans voted in the 2014 primary, as opposed to 16,967 Democrats.

Federal Drive interviews - Oct. 12, 2012
Friday - 10/12/2012, 9:39am EDT
Dr. David Wineland — Physicist, NIST
Research into very tiny particles has resulted in a very big prize for a federal scientist. David Wineland gained worldwide renown in quantum mechanics. His most recent work has upended some major theories, and he's won the Nobel prize.
Diane Sullivan — Lead Sustainability Planner, National Capital Planning Commission
You may want to take a good look the next time you're on Independence Avenue by the National Mall. Those hulking federal buildings to the South may not be there much longer. The General Services Administration is considering redeveloping L'Enfant Plaza. That means the Energy Department complex, FAA buildings, General Services Administration offices and the old Cotton Annex could go.
Rebecca Spitzgo — Associate Administrator, Bureau of Clinician Recruitment and Services, HHS
Getting the right doctor to go where he or she is needed most is no easy task. Recruiting is expensive and it takes time.Yet many communities remain shorthanded in healthcare. So, Rebecca Spitzgo came up with a solution. She's an HHS Innovation award winner.
Chris O'Connors — SARSAT program director, NOAA
NOAA satellites are famous for helping predict the weather. But a whole fleet of them help save lives, too. In fact, this month NOAA is celebrating 30 years of a program that involves a fleet of a dozen satellites and international cooperation. O'Connors is the program director for NOAA's Search and Rescue Satellite-Aided Tracking System, or SARSAT.
Ed Zurndorfer — Registered Employee Benefit Consultant
We apologize in advance is this messes up your plans for the weekend, but this is your reminder that Monday is the deadline to file an amended 2011 tax return. And if you performed a Roth IRA conversion, Monday is also your last day to change it back. Why would you want to do that?
DoD Report
The Pentagon is paying aerospace giant Boeing $2 billion to keep doing what it's doing with C-17 transport planes. The follow-on contract will run for five years. The Chicago-based company supplies forecasting, purchasing and material management for the hulking aircraft. The performance-based logistics program began 24 years ago. At that time, there were 42 planes. Now there are six times as many. Boeing says it has lowered costs through economies of scale. The C-17 carries large equipment and supplies to troops. Performance-based logistics contracts let the Pentagon pay for a certain level of readiness rather than for a specific number of spare parts. (Sacramento Bee)
The government's watchdog in Afghanistan is warning troops: their lives may be at risk because of contract fraud. The military has hired local contractors to install and inspect culvert denial systems, which block insurgents' access to main roads. The special inspector general for Afghanistan reconstruction says many of those systems don't exist. Others that were installed weren't done correctly. The special IG says troops aren't as safe as the military thinks. Insurgents can plant improvised explosive devices along those roads. (Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction)
Cybersecurity Update
The Defense Department's worst cyber fears are coming true. Secretary Leon Panetta told of escalating and damaging cyber attacks against Middle East oil and gas companies. He warns the state-sponsored attacks could start hitting critical infrastructure in the United States. Panetta spoke in New York. He described how a virus called Shamoon attacked computers of the Saudi state oil company in August. It forced Aramco to replace 30,000 machines. Panetta says, this is a pre-9/11 moment, and that the attackers are plotting. He didn't tie the Aramco attacks to Iran. But, he says, Iran, Russia and China are all bad actors in cyberspace. (Federal News Radio)
The White House says you don't have to be a tech whiz to put cybersecurity on your priority list. Andy Ozment in the White House cybersecurity coordinator office says more budget folks are getting the message. The Obama administration is trying to get agencies to join in three governmentwide projects: One entails using the H-S-P-D-twelve smart identification cards. The second is the Trusted Internet Connections Initiative. And the last is continuous monitoring of computer networks. The White House outlined those goals in its fiscal 2013 budget request to Congress, something all federal financial folks scrutinize. (Federal News Radio)
