STEUBENVILLE - According to senior Zach Hamm, the Linsly boys' and girls' swim teams had a little extra motivation to win team titles at the Ohio Valley Athletic Conference Swimming Championships at Steubenville Big Red's Natatorium.
Longtime swim coach Bill Brubaker was honored before the meet and it was announced that Brubaker's name would now bestow the championship meet.
''That was unexpected that they were going to name the meet in honor of him, and we said 'we're getting it for him. This is for Brubaker,' '' said Hamm, who won four golds as the Cadets ran away with the Class 3A-1A boys and girls team titles and scored the most points on the afternoon with 394.

It's full steam ahead for Wheeling Park's Katlyn Curnes during the 100-meter breastroke on Saturday.
Linsly's Zach Hamm gives it all he's got in the 100-meter backstroke.
Steubenville Catholic Central was second in the boys' competition with 46 points.
The Linsly girls totaled 173 points, 66 more than second-place Barnesville.
The Parkersburg South boys won the Class 4A-5A team championship with 337 points, besting second-place Morgantown's 255.
The Mohigans girls grabbed the Class 4A-5A team trophy with 342 points ahead of Wheeling Park's 255.
''You can accomplish everything individually, but when it comes to the team and everyone steps up and does what they do, we all win and we all accomplish something as a team and that's a much better feeling,'' said Hamm, who won the 100 fly in pool-record 54.89.
He also touched the wall first in the 100 back in 57.46 and teamed with Drew Bastian, Chris Reardon and Reese Boyd to win the 200 medley relay in 1:46.22 and partnered with Bastian, Reardon and Cameron Thompson to capture the 200 free relay in a meet record 1:33.87.
There were a few surprises, one of which came from Brooke sophomore Jessie Wayne after winning the 500 free in 5:49.27.
''I was swimming against great competition like Bekah Shephard, Emiliee Heilman, Emily Lederman and Hannah Cebula, so, yes, I did surprise myself,'' Wayne admitted after swimming the last four 50s the best in 35.39, 35.08, 34.67 and 33.98.
''I had it set in my mind what my goal was, to hold a certain pace,'' she said. ''My goal is definitely to try to win. After about the 350 maker, I kind of saw that I was in the lead, but I wasn't entirely sure.
''This has set my standards higher than what I had expected. It definitely opened my eyes a little bit.''
Wheeling Park's Cecelia Jebbia was also a four-time winner. She won the 200 free (2:01.46), 100 free (55.90) and partnered with Heilman, Katlyn Curnes and Cristin Dolan to win the 200 medley relay in 1:58.81, which set a pool and meet record, and the 400 free relay comfortably in 3:56.24.
''This meet really helps us as we get ready for regionals and states,'' said Jebbia, a junior, who was favored in her individual events.
''It's really nerve-racking and it's a lot of pressure, but I really do think it helps me to win my races. It really pushes me. I kind of like it.
''I think it (being the top seed) helps me swim better. I like the pressure of it. I get very nervous, but I think that little bit of adrenaline rush really helps me.''
Parkersburg South coach Steve Lutz, like Brubaker, also took a bath in the pool after winning the team title.
''We're very happy,'' he said. ''This is the first time our boys have won the conference. We're swimming fast before regionals and states, so that's a good thing.
''We're swimming very well. We're in a good situation in relays and individuals showing a lot of depth.
''We really enjoy swimming in this meet with teams from Ohio that we don't see very often. This is the largest conference in the country, it's quite an honor and privilege to swim in that conference and then to be able to win it, is a huge thrill. It's fantastic.''
The day, though, belonged to Linsly.
The Cadets won half of the 22 events, finished 1-2 in the boys 50 free and did not finish in the top five in five races.
''It takes a lot of work and takes a lot of dedication on their part, coming in over Christman vacation, when a lot of people are home,'' Brubaker said.
Since the Cadets do not participate in the state meet, the OVAC meet culminates their team season.
''This is the meet for most of our kids,'' he said. ''We're taking a group of them (eight boys, four girls) over to the Eastern Interscholastic Swimming Championships over in Philadelphia, but those are on qualifying times.
''For the rest of the team, this is it. We have a dual meet Tuesday with Edison, then their season is over.''
Linsly senior Cameron Thompson won the 200 free comfortably in 1:50.31.
Cadets sophomore Zoe Scarpone won the 200 IM in 2:14.82 and the 100 fly in 1:02.12.
Scarpone teamed with Samantha Schaal, Eve Scarpone and Brie Weimer to win the 200 free rfelay in 1:49.94.
Bastian, a sophomore, had the first surprise of the day when he beat Barnesville senior Chris Baker in the 200 IM in 2:05.31. Baker came back to win the 500 free in 5:06.88, .05 seconds ahead of Reese, a freshman.
John Marshall junior Jade Worrell grabbed the 50 free in 26.12.
Linsly finished 1-2 in the 50 free with sophomore Liam McNeil (23.29) and sophomore Reardon (23.77).
St. Clairsville's Michael Eaton touched the wall first in the 100 free in 49.62 and the 100 breaststroke in a pool and meet record 59.90.
Morgantown's Ileana Ille won the 100 back in 1:04.26.
Curnes, a Wheeling Park junior, won the 100 breaststroke in 1:09.49, eclipsing the meet record of 1:09.93 set by Weir High grad Kelsey Ferguson in 2010.
Linsly finished the meet by coming from behind to win the 400 free relay. Reese, Marc Gittings, McNeil and Thompson finished in 3:35.72.

Several studies have demonstrated EFTs efficacy for depression. I performed one study with healthcare workers, and measured their depression levels before and after a brief EFT workshop. Not only did their depressive symptoms improve significantly; they were still better when followed up 3 months later. Yet it's important to focus on the emotional experiences that underlie depression, rather than tapping generally on the feeling of depression itself. You can see how to find those specific events in some of the free tutorials I wrote. The EFT Mini-Manual is also free, and will get you started. To go further on your EFT journey, take an EFT workshop, book a session with one of our certified practitioners, and read one of the EFT books available at our bookstore.

First Beta Launch
Here we go then. After months of working in the few crumbs of spare-time that we could scrape up we've finally done it and launched UX Magazine. We're pleased with a lot of it but also know that a lot of work still needs to be done; a lot.
First off, we're trying to remain XHTML strict and are avoiding hacks best we can but IE still misbehaves here and there. Annoying, yes, but the site works well enough to be released into the general population. There are certainly some bugs in other browsers here and there. Ah, the joys of web-development.
Secondly, We have a list of stuff to do before we can be certain that this site is truly user friendly. The tool tips on the Link Pool and the Feeds aren't quite there yet. We need to make the preview text of articles clearer and some features are just plain missing.
Last but not least, we're not happy. We never are. Never ever. We look at things and go "bah!"—out loud, numerous times a day. We just had to stop being so bloody picky and launch the damn thing. But that doesn't mean we're not going to fix these things. So while we're excited about launching the site, we'll probably never be 100% happy with it, and that's the way it should be.
In the meantime, please comment (right here) on things you love, hate, are puzzled by. We've probably missed shed loads of important stuff so help us make UX Magazine what you want it to be.
UPDATE (19/12/05): We've applied a nasty hack and "fixed" some IE bug which just won't go away otherwise. This is just band-aid but it will have to do for now. We're also killing off the tool tips we had as we were getting too many issues with them. Shame because they were damn pretty.
UPDATE (20/12/05): Latest changes include a lot of stuff noticed by our visitors (thank you very much).
- We removed the email link from all our commenter's. Now only a web link will be applied, if entered. (noticed by Alex Casanova)
- Fixed the home page a bit, still needs work though. Added the TextPattern credits (question asked by Roshambo)
- Changed the tabindex on the comment forms. Now it works as it should. (thanks Greg)
- The last update info in the SnapShot box on the Home page, now displays the actual last update time, including the comments.
- And last but not least, it seems Del.icio.us is back up, so now you can also see our Link Pool list on the home Page.
UPDATE (20/12/05) Part Deux: Got some new tabs done as the older ones where accused of being, well, rather crap. You can check out their dark chromed goodness by look at the top bar; ooh, shiny… CMD fixed some CSS stuff I broke while hacking away to get IE to bloody work. He also added a smooooth "back to top" at the bottom of every article. We're working on a better way of integrating that into the design.
UPDATE (21/12/05): We've merged the search and tabs and fixed some issues in the process. With Christmas approaching fast, we're scrambling to fix as much as possible before we're all off for the holidays. IE unfortunately still misbehaves. The feedback and exposure we've been getting has been tremendous, which kind of freaks me out because there's still so much to do. It's 4am, I'm going to bed. Thanks for dropping by.
UPDATE (23/12/05): We've been very busy trying to get most of your comments into our layout. All of your remarks, complaints and praises have been very helpful. So to keep this note short, here's what we've done so far:
- We've cleaned up our CSS. If anyone tries to validate it, they will get an error. It's an ugly hack we've added, but will get rid of it shortly.
- We added more informative page titles.
- We finalized the "tab" & "search" design.
- We removed the horizontal scroll bar. The full fix will come when we get around to restructuring the whole site… Should be right after Xmas holidays.
UPDATE (23/12/05) Part Deux: Just got around to changing the descriptive text on all articles. The excerpt is now properly displayed.
Also please forgive us if you've been receiving one-too-many RSS updates on our articles. We've been fidgeting with the Feed a bit… until we get things sorted.
Add new comment
Well, it just seems that our initial launch not only has been delayed by a week (we were supposed to have launched on Dec 11th) but it also has been plagued by third party outages.
Del.icio.us has been playing up on us throughout the past week, and while they seemed to have everything under control on Friday, they have plunged this morning. Read more about their server hiccups here .
On our part, we're doing the best we can to get UX Magazine rolling, but it seems it'll take a bit longer than expected before we remove the BETA tag. Please don't hesitate to write in your thoughts, ideas and any bugs you find (surely you will)...
Feel free to contact us directly at info(at)uxmag.com or post directly using the comment form. We're expecting to hear form you…
Good luck getting ahead with your project. We'll certainly miss Projectneo, but I have a feeling, UXMag is going to be something that will really fill some gaps on the web today! All the best of luck!
The site looks excellent, stil no bugs but I'm on a pc cause my mac's hard drive died on me. I will test it on some browsers on a mac and post any bugs that I'll found. One thing only. I don't quite like the fact that the articles are so close on the left edge of the browser, from my point of view it needs a bit more space, but that's just me.
Anyways, I just love the site, but I'll miss the blue colour of projectneo. Awesome stuff, keep up the good work.
Best wishes,
Open in new window? Why i have to check this everytime? I think you must turn it to default.
KALEV: It should keep your preferences in a cookie. As for the anchor attribute "target", in XHTML 1.0 Strict it is obsolete, so we use a custom script for all our external links, you get to decide if you want a new window. You can read more here .
PS: I would like to ask all our commenter's to also include their Browser (name & version) and OS they're viewing the site with. It'll help us out a lot.
I noticed that the email field in the comment form on this page reads "required but won't be displayed," yet everyone's email addresses are being displayed. Any chance on fixing that?
I have to add my kudos here. Can't wait to see the copy cats that are sure to come.
Andrew Chai: Thanks Andrew, it's been a long time since ProjectNeo!
Mike D: You can spread the word, but we still are in Beta and have much work to do… We're still sorting things out. But any support would be appreciated.
Roshambo: Yes. UX Magazine is running on TextPattern 4.0.2.
Alex Casanova: hm… it shouldn't be displayed. Will Fix it ASAP. Thanks for noticing.
Greg, Miko: Thanks fellas. It means a lot to us.
Good luck guys, really good work. I am sure all the css galleries will include it.
Contstantine great surname ;-) by the way.
Firefox 1.5
Windows XP
Very nice. I really like the way columns are positioned when u resize. I use the "open link in new tab" on Firefox for every link i click so i am not using the "Open in new window" option. It is a cool option u have there anyway :) . Is projectneo never coming back ?
Firefox 1.5
XP Pro
Stamati: In essence ProjectNeo never went away. UX Magazine is the evolution of what once was ProjectNeo. It's only natural to move on…
ProjectNeo has been upgraded to something more than just a design related community site. At least that's the way I see it.
But you never know what can happen in the future ;)
Lovely layout and look. Love to have you share some of your textpattern secrets, but maybe that's just too cheeky.
Good luck. I'm staying tuned
Verry nice! I bet this site could become very popular very soon. I hope your servers can cope with the popularity better than del.icio.us or Typepad.
I don't know if this has been brought up before, but to first-time visitors, there is (as in my case, but I figured it out) some confusion with the little icons on article blocks on the homepage. The green "+" looks like it's meant to add something… the "X" looks like it's supposed to close something, the "="... well… I don't know.
I think the design is well-done and extremely appealing, but being a UX site, I would have expected more clear icons, as the "+" and "X" boxes are already substantiated GUI elements to many users.
And not to be nit-picky (seriously, I love the work you've all done) but the tooltip hover on the linkpool can be downright confusing. Hovering over a link obscures 'exactly' the link below it, which makes it feel like hovering on that item actually 'changed' another item. In this case, I would recommend off-setting that tooltip so it only slightly obscures, but still reveals the items around it.
Again, I hate to be critical on this, but I thought I'd pass along my thoughts.
Great work, guys.
My first post was on a laptop running Windows XP with a 1024×768 screen resolution, not I am on Mac OS X with Safari and the site rocks… Excellent work.
This is the new projectneo, UX Mag rocks!
My best,
Thanks for all the great feedback. This is very much an open beta so we're really appreciating all the info you're sending our way. Still lot's to do…
Jay Jones: You're spot on about the icons. We've been discussing this for a while and I think we're going to switch them to something far clearer like: D for design, T for technology, etc… We might also find space for a little legend somewhere. Well spotted.
Also, tooltips are gone, dead, blamo. We just haven't gotten round to it. Basically, we're thinking of replacing the whole sidebar (links+feeds) with a tabbed element which can show much more info, so no need for tooltips. Once again, good call.
No need to be sorry. The site is still under construction in front of everyone, we're still undecided about many things—we want criticism! (Well, not too much.)
Hope someday I would be able to design like this.
Waiting for your production version!
Ollanta Humala
Good luck for this very interesting project. But the Internet Explorer/Win 5.0, 5.5, 6.0 and Opera below 7.6 doesn't supporting the CSS Layout very well ( just the Homepage ). By the way nice design!
Heiko: Thanks. We're working on the site working on the current standards compliant browsers + IE6. We'll apply work-arounds for older browsers when we're satisfied with the structure (which we're not currently).
Alex I will promote your OnlineMagazine on my weblog, because I do like the idea of it!
Great to see so many Greek names under such a beautiful and well crafted publication. Soz for been a chauvinist :)
Horizontal scroll in Firefox 1.5; both on Windows and Linux. Might be an extension, though I doubt it since I only have Adblock and Web Developer installed.
veracon: I saw the scrollbar also. It had nothing to do with the FF extensions. Just a refinement in our CSS swapping script. It should work ok now.
Beautiful Site, I really like it.
The layout however, seriously breaks in Firefox 1.5/Win using anything smaller than 1034×947. The front page degrades nicely regardless, but the article pages certainly do not.
That's a weird size to design to in general, and being that even though I use a 21 inch monitor, I browse the web at 1024×768, it may warrant some attention.
As I said before, wonderful looking site!
Just heard about your new website via friend. The site looks good and seems to have started to create a viral buzz. Good luck, it should take off quickly!
Well done and well crafted so far. I did not expect anything less from u guys :)
Keep the creative (or coding ) flow running.
Looking good. I would suggest updating the TITLE tags throughout the site, especially on the Article pages – makes bookmarking an article difficult.
Thanks for the comments. We're working on fixing many of the dynamic scaling bugs as well as adding titles today. We've spent a lot of time reorganising our CSS files and cleaning up the content which should make bug-fixing much easier.
If you bump the font-size up just once or twice the site becomes unreadable. Are you sizing everything in ems? Any absolute positioning? Something is not allowing the layout to be very flexible upon resize..
Looks even better now!
"Open in new Window?" box takes its own line. I'm not sure if that's what you meant by removing the horizontal bar.
Happy Holidays!
Merry Christmas and happy holidays.
Just to point out that I am on windows with firefox and the resolution is 1024×768 and the little illustration of the author and the most artive articles etc are now below here and not on the right side as it is with IE.

Athletics Coaching Staff
< Back to Coaches page
Bruce Rasmussen
Director of Athletics
A member of the highly esteemed NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Committee, Bruce Rasmussen enters his 21st year as athletic director, and 35th overall at Creighton University.
During Rasmussen's tenure, Creighton has risen to prominence with its success on and off the field, impressive facilities and record-breaking fundraising efforts.
For evidence, look no further than four recent projects that continue to change the area athletics' scene. The Wayne and Eileen Ryan Athletic Center and D.J. Sokol Arena opened in 2009 and immediately gave Creighton's women's basketball and volleyball teams a top-notch facility to call home. East of the Ryan Athletic Center is Creighton's new student recreation center that was named the Rasmussen Center in his honor and stands as one of the centerpieces on the Creighton campus. It is located near the Championship Center, which opened in June 2014 and is considered one of the best of its kind. Last but not least is the completion of TD Ameritrade Park Omaha, home to Bluejay baseball and the College World Series, which opened in 2011 to rave reviews.
Those projects add to an overhaul in the school's athletic facilities over the past decade, which has also seen Creighton begin play at three of the finest facilities nationwide -- Michael G. Morrison, S.J., Stadium (soccer) and CenturyLink Center Omaha (men's basketball) and TD Ameritrade Park Omaha (baseball)
Rasmussen also helped lead the charge for one of the biggest moves in school history when the school accepted an invitation into the BIG EAST Conference in March of 2013.
Since Rasmussen assumed the role of athletics director, Creighton has won 30 regular-season and 36 conference tournament titles, which have helped lead to 69 postseason appearances. The Bluejays remain the only school in the 108-year history of the Missouri Valley Conference to make 16 straight men's basketball postseasons, and have made the NCAA Tournament in men's soccer in 21 of the past 22 years. The Creighton softball team has made six NCAA Tournament appearances in the last 12 years.
Creighton was also recognized with the MVC All-Academic Award in seven of its final nine seasons in the league, including a record 3.37 GPA in the spring of 2012 by student-athletes.
A member of the College World Series of Omaha, Inc., Executive Committee, Rasmussen continues to play a vital role in Creighton and the city of Omaha remaining as host of the College World Series. He was one of six individuals on the CWS Oversight Committee that helped decide the location for the new downtown TD Ameritrade Park Omaha, which will help keep the CWS in Omaha for another 25 years. With Creighton serving as host, the CWS has welcomed more than 300,000 fans in each of the last nine years.
Rasmussen was one of four regional winners from the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics (NACDA) to take home a 2004 GeneralSports TURF Systems AD of the Year Award, and in 2010 was again honored with an Under Armour AD of the Year award by the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics. In 2008, he was inducted into the Omaha Sports Hall of Fame.
Creighton's reputation as one of the nation's top academic institutions is reflected in the success the Bluejay student-athletes have had in the classroom during Rasmussen's service as athletics director. Creighton's baseball, men's basketball, women's basketball, women's golf, volleyball, men's and women's cross country, women's soccer and men's and women's tennis teams all have received national awards for their academic success. Bluejay student-athletes have owned GPAs of 3.30 or above in 16 straight semesters entering the fall of 2014.
Creighton's primary annual athletics fundraising events are the Bluejay Bash and the Bluejay Jamboree. Under Rasmussen's leadership, each of these events continues to raise record-breaking funds for Creighton athletics. Most notably, the 2013 Jamboree generated more than $400,000 through its gourmet dinner, raffle and auction.
Rasmussen accepted the associate athletics director position in 1992 after a 12-year run as the winningest coach in Creighton women's basketball history (196-147), culminating in the program's historic 1991-92 season.
The 1992 Western Athletic Conference Coach of the Year, Rasmussen led the 1991-92 Bluejay women to a program-record 28 wins (28-4), the WAC regular-season and tournament championships and a first-round NCAA Tournament victory in the program's first-ever trip to the "Big Dance." With that 28-4 record in 1991-92, Rasmussen completed his college coaching career with a 196-147 record, good for a .571 winning percentage.
After serving as associate athletics director for two years, 1992-94, Rasmussen was named athletics director on Aug. 1, 1994.
A native of Webster City, Iowa, Rasmussen and his wife, Jill, have five children: Megan (29), David (27), John (23), Katie (19) and Grace (16).

Planning, performance measures put DHS on solid financial footing
Monday - 9/17/2012, 11:50am EDT
Agency of the Month
Peggy Sherry, the chief financial officer at the Department of Homeland Security, and Ed Johnson, the CFO at FEMA, are this week's guests on Agency of the Month.
The Homeland Security Department knew the good budget times wouldn't last. The agency received a 7 percent-to-8 percent year-over-year increase since it came existence in 2003.
Peggy Sherry, the DHS CFO, said the agency started planning for the change in spending well before the actual cuts came.
"One of the things we've done is to do very strong base budget reviews in each of the components," Sherry said Tuesday, during an exclusive interview on In Depth with Francis Rose as part of Federal News Radio's Agency of the Month series. "During a time when you have 7-to-8 percent increases in your overall timeline, sometimes it's really difficult to do those base budget reviews because you really are being more responsive [to your immediate needs]. But what we have done over the last couple of years is really to have each of the components to go in and to really take a look at what is it they are spending their money on."
Full bios for Peggy Sherry and Ed Johnson.
Sherry said each of the agencies mapped those programs against the DHS strategy missions and decided which projects are among their highest priorities and how they are performing against their metrics.
She credited Secretary Janet Napolitano's 43 efficiency initiatives in getting DHS to take on a new discipline.
"You really do question when you go spend something and initiate a new project, is this really the best way you could do it? Is this the most effective, the most efficient way?" Sherry said.
Trickle down theory
Ed Johnson, FEMA's CFO, said this type of approach has filtered down to the components.
"We have something called program budget reviews. These are not just high level discussions," he said. "Every program comes in front of the leadership, the deputy administrator and the chief of staff, and talks about every contract they have in place, how their discretionary money is being used, what are their investments in IT. It's all put on table to ensure priorities."
Johnson said FEMA has reduced non-disaster response travel by 40 percent over the last year already based on the efficiency reviews, reduced its real estate footprint and saved $8 million to $10 million.
"There are very few stones that are unturned in terms of taking from the department down and reporting up to the department on those efficiencies," he said.
Sherry and Johnson said the focus on performance metrics and program accountability is making the expected budget crunch easier to deal with.
Sherry said DHS reviews programs to ensure they are meeting their mission goals on a quarterly basis.
The reviews include the deputy secretary, the performance improvement officer and every CXO and program office that has a stake in the outcome of the program.
"We review performance metrics, ask if they are still relevant and whether the program is meeting the objectives laid out," she said. "We really do have a cross component conversation about the program and its goals."
FEMA takes the review sessions one level down. It created FEMAStat to evaluate program performance based on the objectives. It identifies barriers and helps the agency decide on what actions to take to reduce barriers. It also holds individuals accountable for implementation.
Johnson said FEMAStat challenges assumptions and asks hard questions as part of the effort to better meet mission goals.
"We have one now we are planning for next year, which is disaster estimating. We have a lot of tools within FEMA and across government that we are leveraging to determine how should we estimate the potential costs and actual costs of disasters," he said. "We see some opportunities to enhance that without replicating tools that already are in existence. We will add that to our FEMAStat review for this upcoming year collaboratively not only inside FEMA, but looking outside of FEMA to gain that insight to build a better process of anticipated costs and build that into the budget."
Financial books audited
DHS and FEMA are able to take advantage of the performance metrics and find efficiencies because for the first time ever, the agency received a qualified financial audit opinion.
Sherry said DHS has fixed 33 weaknesses, including 18 of which were consider material weaknesses, in their financial systems. From 2004 to 2010, those weaknesses kept DHS from getting a qualified audit opinion. Last year was the first time the agency received an auditors review.
She said auditing its property remains a weakness for DHS, especially for large organizations such as the Coast Guard and Customs and Border Protection.
As DHS closes its books for fiscal 2012, Sherry is hopeful that if they don't get an unqualified opinion this year they will achieve it next year.
"Years ago, an audit was just the CFO's problem and it was not considered the agency's responsibility," Johnson said. "Now it comes from the department and the component leadership that we have to be auditable. We have to make sure we are in lock step with the department. We have our own action plans and are being proactive, but now it's a 12-month effort and the department sends out management action plans and we are tracking it."
He said DHS headquarters holds a monthly meeting and faces independent assessments by external auditors to prepare for the year end effort.
It's all about the systems
One of DHS' biggest challenges around financial management has been whether to consolidate 13 key accounting systems. It has tried twice in the past and failed with Emerge and TASC.
Now Sherry said the focus is on modernizing systems and business processes.
"One of the things financial systems bring to you is automated internal controls and the ability to have sustainable success," she said. "In an environment where you have decreasing top lines, it's really important that you invest all of your dollars where you will get the best return on investment."
Sherry said with all these disparate systems, DHS can't get a complete view of what's it's spending and when.
"What DHS has been investing much of its time developing business intelligence tools. We are looking at how to do data standardization, standardization of business processes in such a way that I don't need one accounting system in the department to get that one enterprise view," she said. "We are also focusing on those systems that need to get modernized and we are working closely with the components to do that."
FEMA was one of several components that needed to improve systems.
Johnson said FEMA upgraded its operating system to Linux and implemented an updated Oracle database.
"This gave us a stable system that we are no longer fearful of crashing at one time. Now we can work on the initiatives to build our environment better to deal with our financial management needs. That includes a gap analysis, which we are working with the department on. Everyone focuses on the tool first and thinks it's the panacea. What we found out is there's multiple dimensions to this and you have to look at your business processes and see if they are aligned properly, are they built the right way and will the system support it."
Listen to Federal News Radio's interviews with other DHS officials earlier this month, including:
- Rafael Borras, undersecretary for management, DHS
- Catherine Emerson, CHCO, DHS, and Vice Adm. Manson Brown, deputy commandant for mission support, Coast Guard

I have a Samsung 256 GByte SSD and under Windows I see many times the laptop is simply doing nothing, this happens under Linux too. I still wonder what the laptop is doing in these cases. The SSD can transfer upto 500MByte/s. Are there artificial slow downs? Is a program halting the computer for a while? I understand many little files have to be loaded during bootup. But the SSD light is not active so the SSD is simply waiting for the laptop. A faster CPU does not matter I think.
At average it takes 13 seconds to boot up fully to desktop from cold boot with automatic login. (After using Samsung magician and little overprovisioning...) But after this when the desktop shows up the observed behaviour is seen.

When I was talking about 5-10 seconds I had not tested sessionk yet. It has also gotten better with every kde release and I think I'm at 3-6 seconds now with 4.10, but it still is a noticeable time I have to wait compared to any other desktop environment.

We are the only political party in which all members have an equal say in determining our policies through policy ballots.
For almost 31 years from 1977 to 2008, we had Democrats Senators in the Australian Parliament and representatives in the South Australian, Tasmanian, NSW, Western Australian and ACT parliaments and often held the balance of power, which one of our best known founders, Don Chipp, referred to as a "balance of reason," using our influence to deliver fair outcomes in legislation. We are working to reclaim that position. Read more.

McGrady to leave Rockets, waiting on trade
By Adrian Wojnarowski
Tracy McGrady(notes) and the Houston Rockets have reached a mutual decision that allows him to leave the team while the two sides try to facilitate a trade, likely ending the former All-Star guard's tenure with the franchise, an NBA source said Monday.
McGrady's representatives spoke with team officials earlier in the day after Rockets coach Rick Adelman made it clear last week he had no plans to increase the guard's minutes. McGrady then returned to Houston with Adelman's blessing before the Rockets' games in New Jersey and Cleveland.
McGrady had averaged just under eight minutes in six appearances after missing the first 23 games of the season while recovering from microfracture surgery on his left knee. Sources say McGrady plans to return to Chicago by the end of the week and work out with trainer Tim Grover.
Yahoo! Sports first reported Monday morning that McGrady was expected to leave the team.
A source with knowledge of Monday's talks said the Rockets would have allowed McGrady to stay, but the guard thought he'd be too much of a distraction to the team.
McGrady is making a league-high $23 million in the final year of his contract, and won't be easy to trade given his large salary and how little teams have seen him play this season. Rival teams say the Rockets are willing to take back long-term money for the right trade with McGrady, but no deal appears imminent. Talks could pick up closer to the trade deadline in February when cost-cutting franchises may be more attracted to McGrady's expiring contract.
McGrady told Yahoo! Sports' Marc Spears last week that he's confident he won't disappoint anyone who trades for him.
"I will tell you what … if anything were to happen, whoever [trades for him] is going to get a hell of a player," McGrady said. "A hungry one, too."
Key point I think is that they are wiling to take back long term contracts for TMac. I'd be willing to trade Maggette, AB and Bell for TMac and Landry. We lose AB, who has been solid, but nothing really special, since being here, but Maggette long contract is gone and Bell is an expirer anyway. Tmac expires, but Landry is very solid and may well fit in well. That allows for alot of money to be available for getting a couple of very good players

migya make the ring fall on ya |
No way they give up Landry in that trade man.
I really like the idea, for nothing more than getting some serious contracts off our books. I dont like the idea of Beans going though...........who the F would be our center!? cuz it wont be Landry and he isnt right for it either. Maggette, Bell and Radmanovic straight up. |
I reckon the Rockets would give Landry for Maggette and AB, they'd be insane not to. I don't think AB is that great, very good yes, but not great. I'd rather see the team really look for a Center in another trade or through free agency because AB is not that special at all. The point here is to shed salary and that is done with getting rid of Maggette's long contract and would complete a very good overhaul of getting rid of the three worst contracts on the team, in Crawford, SJack and Maggette. Don't think the Rockets would go for Radman, though I'd do that trade for sure, get rid of two long contracts, as Radman's is also migya make the ring fall on ya |

That's a good idea any way to unload Maggs contract, all though he has played well the last couple games minus the Celtics game. Am not sure if his status needs to be evaluated because of his surprising play, oh never mind I would send him along with Rad, but the Rockets want more. Not sure Beans is the answer either since they have Yao Ming. Rockets want young talent in return for T-Mac and that Fat expiring, AR is out of the question and that's who they probably want. |
I'm with Bigs here. The Rockets won't include Landry in such a deal. He's been the sixth man of the year so far, and one of their key guys, and he's doing so at a pretty low salary. No way they get rid of him. In that case, they'd be better just by letting T-Mac's contract run out. Also, I don't think they'd be interested in Reggrette. What for?. They already have Battier and Ariza playing in the wings, two guys that are already better than Corey, what's the point of trading for a big contract that's gonna be a backup for them? |
Well, the only reason I thought they might go for Maggette...............si cuz they need someone who can score the ball! I mean who do they have right now who they can consistently rely on to score?..............atleast if they havnt realised what we know about Maggettes chemistry/flo killing offensive traits, he can still score the ball...........he will always do that and as such, would be an interesting player to teams that have a bunch of streaky shooters and no-one that they can depend on right now, like Houston. Anyway, there GM aint stupid..............so it isnt going to happen and if it did, they would DEMAND young talent and not haggered old stuck in their ways prima donas for TMac's expiring deal. |
migs, I dont get it.
First you say they would be INSANE to turn down that trade, but on the other you say AB is not that great and Maggs has a terrible contract that we need to get rid of. So why would they trade one of the more productive and young PF's in the league for a guy that is not great and a terrible contract? Kinda sounds like they would be insane to actually MAKE the trade. _____________________________________________________
http://WWW.GOLDENSTATEWARRIORS-RT.COM |
they have absolutely no reason to trade him unless its for something they really want. Or, just let his HUGE contract expire and go shopping in the summer
Yao's career may be over, so getting AB would be a nice replacement for him. The Rockets need talent and though they have been doing real well so far this season, thay are not very talented and seem to be getting the most out of all the players they have right now migya make the ring fall on ya |
Landry has been good, but he is no real difference maker and is the sort of player that would be real good next to a superstar or couple of allstars. He produces sort of like how Marion used to and in short minutes too, as I've seen. As for the Rockets already having good SFs, well Ariza and Battier are good, but not special, neither is Maggette for that matter, but as Bigs pointed out, Maggette is a very good scorer and much more so than the mentioned two currently on the Rockets. Battier is what he is, a good defender that hits threes, but he doesn't do much outside of that. Ariza is getting the most out of his talent and I for one am surprised he is playing as good as he is as he is a role player. Getting Maggette would be filling a need of scoring and either him or Ariza can be the SG ofcourse migya make the ring fall on ya |
The rockets are not that talented and with Yao injured and his career possibly over, they need players like AB and Maggette, much moreso than the Warriors do. AB is not that great at all, to me, but he is better than any big the Rockets currently have outside of Scola and even then, he looks like a better rebounder and defender than Scola. I've covered why Maggette would be good for them in one of the two above posts I just made. The Rockets are doing well, that they are, but they do need talent and might have to replace Yao real quick, as he might not be back and if he does come back, he might not be the same again migya make the ring fall on ya |
Well, my point is that they're doing pretty well right now, showing no need to add such a financial burden to their short term future. I mean, I could see this trade happening if they were one player away from being a contender, but why mess with their salary cap when they won't improve that much? |

Well that's a good point it does hinge on Yao's injury and how the Rockets feel he will come back. So they can take a the bait, I know it was a season ending injury, but if Yao is shedule to come back, Beans will be too expensive to be a back-up. So it does depend on the Yao factor, do you know whether for sure it might be career ending ? Also if we get rid of Beans the warriors need a solid replacement, am not a huge fan of the guy but he is solid enough with his hustle, and want that replaced. |
Even if Yao came back, the Rockets could use Andris at the PF spot. I think that really is his ideal position. He is a really good rebounder, but he does not block shots or keep opposing Cs out of the scoring column. |
Andris came into the league listed as a PF 'til the Warriors moved him to the C. You're correct Always, PF is his ideal position. Don't hate yourself in the morning... sleep 'til noon.

Water Fight Recorded: Friday, March 7, 2014
Senior Fellow Randy T. Simmons, co-editor of Aquanomics, looks at the battles over water in the western United States. Thirsty citizens of growing cities, farmers, factories and environmentalists are in a fight for a natural resource that is priced arbitrarily. Its value is determined not by the free market, but by bureaucrats. Outdated government reclamation projects and water policies have put residents of the Golden State at the mercy of the weather, and of government's mandatory regulations.

Real Cowboy A woman walks into a bar, sits down and orders a drink. Next to her sits a man wearing a cowboy hat, western shirt, cowboy boots, and jeans with a big silver rodeo buckle. The woman looks at him and asks, "Are you a real cowboy?" He replies that he's spent most of his life bustin' broncos, mending fences and rounding up cattle so, yes, you can say he is a real cowboy.

Our product inventors worked hard in the labs, experimenting with all sorts of different flavors before they landed on this seductive honey lip balm. Recently, they revisited the formula, mixing it by hand on lower temperatures to make it softer and more flavorful. Honey Trap is filled with toning sweet orange and cooling peppermint to soothe dry, chapped lips. Rich honey moisturizes and melted white chocolate is part of that delectable flavor. After all that chocolate tasting and kissing we did in the name of innovation, we think Honey Trap can certainly be considered our most delicious lip balm to date. It's a hard life we have here at LUSH.
- Honey Trap is a best seller: We suggest you get a pot and find out why!
- Preservative-free: Does not contain any water or infusions so we're able to make it preservative-free!
- Soothing oat infusion: Oat milk calms and protects the sensitive skin on your lips.

Specificity / Sensitivity
Phospho-EGF Receptor (Thr669) (D2F1) Rabbit mAb detects endogenous levels of EGFR protein only when phosphorylated at Thr669. While the literature refers to this residue as Thr669, it is Thr693 of human EGFR (UniProt sequence P00533) and corresponds to Thr695 of mouse EGFR or Thr694 of rat EGFR.
Species Reactivity: Human Species predicted to react based on 100% sequence homology: Mouse, RatSource / Purification
Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic phosphopeptide corresponding to residues surrounding Thr693 of human EGFR protein.
The epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor is a transmembrane tyrosine kinase that belongs to the HER/ErbB protein family. Ligand binding results in receptor dimerization, autophosphorylation, activation of downstream signaling, internalization, and lysosomal degradation (1,2). Phosphorylation of EGF receptor (EGFR) at Tyr845 in the kinase domain is implicated in stabilizing the activation loop, maintaining the active state enzyme, and providing a binding surface for substrate proteins (3,4). c-Src is involved in phosphorylation of EGFR at Tyr845 (5). The SH2 domain of PLCγ binds at phospho-Tyr992, resulting in activation of PLCγ-mediated downstream signaling (6). Phosphorylation of EGFR at Tyr1045 creates a major docking site for the adaptor protein c-Cbl, leading to receptor ubiquitination and degradation following EGFR activation (7,8). The GRB2 adaptor protein binds activated EGFR at phospho-Tyr1068 (9). A pair of phosphorylated EGFR residues (Tyr1148 and Tyr1173) provide a docking site for the Shc scaffold protein, with both sites involved in MAP kinase signaling activation (2). Phosphorylation of EGFR at specific serine and threonine residues attenuates EGFR kinase activity. EGFR carboxy-terminal residues Ser1046 and Ser1047 are phosphorylated by CaM kinase II; mutation of either of these serines results in upregulated EGFR tyrosine autophosphorylation (10).
Thr669 (equivalent to Thr693 of human EGFR) is phosphorylated by p38 MAP kinase following EGF stimulation (11). Phosphorylation of EGFR at Thr669 may be involved in regulation of ligand induced receptor internalization through interaction with specific downstream EGFR tyrosine kinase substrates (11).

Isn't there a saying don't kick a man when he is down... in any case Mesa is much better than AMD's catalyst especially on my laptop's radeon 4200.
Case in point I can play wine games without artifacts which isn't possible with the proprietary driver. Performance is good enough for many classes of games. FPS games being the main exception. For the most part games don't require high frame rates. If it looked like warmed over pond scum at high frame rates what would be the point.

Updated clinical guidelines developed for patients age 18 and older with symptoms of low back pain or radiculopathy aim to increase conservative approaches, such as physical activity, as first-line treatment for this population.
The recommendations call for subjective pain rating; functional status; patient history, including notation of presence or absence of "red flags" and psychosocial indicators; assessment of prior treatment and response; employment status; and clinician's objective assessment. The guidelines also propose reducing unnecessary imaging unless "red flag" indicators exist, placing an emphasis on patient education and conservative home self-care, and returning "early" to work or activities. Additionally, they report that there is evidence that exercise therapy is effective for chronic back pain.
Evidence supporting the recommendations, the benefits/harms of implementing the guideline recommendations, and information about the guideline developers also is available.
Read the guidance from the Institute for Clinical Systems Improvement at the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality's National Guideline Clearinghouse.
