Mets turn to Niese looking to gain ground on Nats
Washington's Fister out to prevent New York from getting back into race
Terry Collins is like most other managers in that he preaches taking the season one day, one series at a time, and that if the Mets do that and play the way they're supposed to play, then maybe they can even make something out of staying on the fringes of the National League East race.
It's hard, though, not to look at the slightly bigger picture right now. The Mets are at the beginning of a 10-day stretch in which they will play the NL East-leading Nationals six times. After a win by New York on Tuesday, the second of those games comes Wednesday, when lefty Jon Niese and righty Doug Fister take to the Nationals Park mound.
Considerable success during this week and a half would be a boon to the Mets' confidence, especially in terms of competing within the division. Not being able to seize the opportunity could dash any lingering hope of contention in 2014. The Mets enter Wednesday's contest seven games back of the Nationals after taking the series opener, 6-1.
"You better worry about winning two out of three," Collins said. "[The Nationals are] pretty good. We've got to play them six times in 10 days, so we've got to make the most of it if we're expecting to get back in this race."
Standing in the way of the Mets doing that is Fister. With a 2.68 ERA and a 1.09 WHIP, Fister has been arguably the best starter in Washington's rotation, which is one of the best in the Majors.
His only career start against New York came last August when he spun 6 1/3 innings of one-run ball for Detroit.
In his most recent start, Friday against Philadelphia, Fister limited the Phillies to two runs in seven innings, the fourth straight outing in which he allowed two or fewer runs. One of Philles' runs came on a Marlon Byrd homer.
"I left it over the plate a little bit too much," Fister said afterward. "I was kind of surprised that he took it the other way."
Niese, meanwhile, is fresh off one of the more bizarre outings of his season. He needed just 87 pitches to get through eight-plus innings, but he also gave up five runs (three earned). The two unearned tallies were the result of his own throwing error. The only other significant mistake was an 88-mph fastball he left over the plate that Hunter Pence punished for a two-run triple.
"It was good today to get into that ninth inning and fight through some of that end-of-game fatigue," Niese said Friday.
It was the first time in two months he tossed eight innings.
In three starts since returning from the disabled list, Niese owns a 4.74 ERA and a 1.53 WHIP. Opponents are hitting .325 with a .455 slugging mark off of him.
Mets: Nieuwenhuis hoping fourth time's the charm
With the right-handed Fister on the mound for the Nationals on Wednesday, there's a good chance Kirk Nieuwenhuis will make an appearance in the starting lineup. The Mets plan to find time for Nieuwenhuis, Eric Young Jr. and Chris Young in left field.
For Nieuwenhuis in particular, this season has been the most hectic of his career. Four times, the Mets have shuttled him onto the big league roster from Triple-A Las Vegas. They most recently called him up after Monday's game, designating unproductive veteran Bobby Abreu for assignment.
"The thing is it's such a long season, when you have injuries and stuff like that ... it's going to happen," Nieuwenhuis said. "I don't care who you are. You need to realize teams need a lot of guys."
Nieuwenhuis' pinch-hit single in the eighth inning Tuesday plated Travis d'Arnaud.
Nationals: Lefty Thornton added to 'pen
Lacking a clear-cut power lefty in their bullpen, the Nationals received Matt Thornton from the Yankees on Tuesday after making a waiver claim on the left-handed reliever.
Thornton, 37, comes to Washington after posting a 2.55 ERA and a 1.18 WHIP while striking out 20 and walking six in 24 2/3 innings for New York.
"He gives us another power option out of the bullpen," general manager Mike Rizzo said. "He is a hard thrower. He has had great success against lefties and righties in his career."
The Nationals are Thornton's fourth team in the last 13 months.
Worth noting
• The Nationals placed catcher Wilson Ramos on paternity leave after his wife, Yeli, gave birth to the couple's first child, a girl, on Tuesday. The club doesn't know when Ramos will return, but he can be out for up to three days.
• David Wright has a nice little four-game hit streak to his credit, but he's still batting just .191 (13-for-68) since getting a cortisone shot in his troublesome left shoulder.
• Ryan Zimmerman's rehab for his strained right hamstring began Monday when he ran on a water treadmill. Manager Matt Williams and Rizzo expect Zimmerman to return to the lineup before the end of the regular season.

I assumed that all of the sodium in the pizza was from salt, so I divided 1560.62 by 2300 to get 0.68 t. salt.
What do you think 4 g of salt should be in a unit of volume?
Using table salt as the form of salt, 4 g. is 0.14 oz., or 0.72 t. (0.14/0.196875).
My thinking at the time was that there was very little salt in the toppings and that almost all of it was in the dough.
I wonder if some of the difference in topping color has to do with the processing of the the apples. There could be a marked difference between the amount of citric acid Papa John's uses and how it's used in the topping (whether directly on the apples or just in the mixture) and your use and quantity of lemon juice. If you have any pH strips lying around and get another pie, you could dip the strip for the tip on acidity.

Rollcage and SubCommand / Dangerous Waters are not on the list
From the maybe list, I vote for audiosurf and trackmania.
Book of unwritten tales looks really good! Nice art style and lots of detail, plus I miss a good adventure game
I can't see why it shouldn't exist on linux since it uses the Ogre engine?
I can't think of any games I'd wish for right now, but I'm glad you are doing this Svartalf.
Rollcage and SubCommand / Dangerous Waters are not on the list
From the maybe list, I vote for audiosurf and trackmania.
Civilization III Complete for Linux would be so sweet!
Oh, and a port of Age of Empires III + Addons would be a definite buy for me.
There already exist Mac OS X ports of both games. Does this ever increase the chance of Linux ports?
How's it going with Natural Selection 2?
They are already taking preorders! However they don't have mac or linux under supported operating systems. Which is understandable as they haven't begun porting it yet. It would be really great if the linux client would be ready by the time of the release!
But they seem really open to the idea of a linux/mac client as I pointed out in my post in the previous thread with links
I would love to play Anno on Linux
First I want to thank you, Svartalf, for putting that much effort in linux gaming.
If you need any help with testing or contacting german publishers, don't hesitate to contact me.
What about the Myst saga? Cyan has recently open-sourced Uru so they seem sensible to this kind of business. Also, they need money.
I'd love seeing Atrus on my Fedora box!
Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri (and Alien Crossfire) are on my wishlist (IIRC an AC port existed once, but don't know what happened to it).
PS. Maybe it was already discussed (didn't read the other thread), but Freespace2 engine has already been ported and works perfectly well on linux; you only need to purchase the Windows version from GOG and get the engine from the "Hard Light Productions" site.

JaylynHairMedium BrownThick or Coarse HairWorks Great But Smells!I bought my Amika in the mall for $109 and it works great, but after a while the plates started to stick together and it had this odor that is disgusting! It did the job very well but the actual product I believe needs improvement.posted May 18, 2011Link to this post
RoseGermanyHairAuburnDry HairCurly HairColor Treated HairFine or Thin HairPerfect Flat IronThis is my second flat iron from Amika and the only reason I had to purchase a new one is that my puppy chewed the cord on my first one right off! I loooove this flat iron. I've used a CHi before and it just seemed to try and frizz my hair after using it. The amika straightens my extremely curly hair with one run through and it makes it glossy and super super shiny. I love it.posted Apr 20, 2011Link to this post
HollyWisconsinHairDark BrownOily HairColor Treated HairFine or Thin HairChemically Treated HairHeard Great Things; DisappointedSo About 2 years ago I bought my first pro Flat Iron (Chi Platinum) got a puppy a yr later; puppy chewed up cord nothing I could do needed to get a new flat iron. Decided to do some research and talked to a few friends, because I have quite a few friends that have Chi and Amika flat irons. Lets just say my friend who had a amika has super thick coarse hair and mine is super thin/oily etc. And it worked awesome for her hair. Well since I already had a Chi I decided to try the Amika. I saw a complete difference i the two products and I wish I would have just went back to the Chi. My amika doesnt warm up as fast. I find my self going over pieces that I already had; just disappointed all together. I've only had this product a few months. Very disappointedposted Apr 12, 2011Link to this post
Nicole N.HairCurly HairNot The BestI actually never planned on buying this product a salesman asctually forced us to buy it about 2 years ago. Now, ( two years later) this product stinks. Whenever i straighten my hair and i heat it it burns and smells awful. I have curly hair and it only lasts about 8 hours. I just ordered the sedu and cannot wait to ry itposted Apr 6, 2011Link to this post
MelissaHairBlackCurly HairThick or Coarse HairBuy Thiis Iron. I Have Curly Frizzy Thick Thick Hair And This Iron Was Amazingok first off i want to thank the guy in the mall for introducing me to this flat iron. now on to the review this iron gave me straight hair which i thought was impossible and curls too! warning if you use it too much you will damage your haiir becuause any heat applied to your hair is not good and if u start to loose your natural curl pattern in your hair that means you using your flat iron toooo much your hair needs a break from time to time. especially if your hair is relaxed . do not over do it with the flat iron every day!! it works great on my natural hair and im in love!!! make sure you set it to the right setting or else you may damage your hair... otherwise its is better than my chi flat iron which stopped working after 3 months btw.. hope this review helpsposted Mar 18, 2011Link to this post
Ashley R.HairAuburnThick or Coarse HairOne Of The BestLet me just say this is definitely one of the best flat ironing tools Ive ever used. I was hesitant to spend the money on it and I read the reviews here on folica and saw that they weren't in the top ten product listing. There were cheaper irons on the list. I watched Youtube and after I saw those reviews I had to buy it. Well I have to say its the best I've used. It straightens hair with One Pass( I'm Carribean, with kinky texture, thick) when sectioned and it bring new life to my human hair extensions which I wear often. It leaves hair with a shine and healthy feel, especially with a little serum.The only reason I gave it a 4 out of 5 is because I haven't used the GHD yet which I know is top of the line.posted Mar 10, 2011Link to this post
MonicaHairMedium BrownCurly HairWow!This product was amazing! I spent so much time looking through reviews and watching youtube videos on straightners for my hair, I wanted to buy a salon flat iron, but I wanted to make sure it was the right one. With my curly, frizzy, uncontrolled hair that was about the only solution I had left. However, shopping at the mall one day, one of those little kiosk people noticed my crazy hair and of course asked to show me something for it. Wow am I thankful now that she did! I bought my first amika straightner, pink of course :) At first I was like yeah it makes it straight just like my old one. In the past six months that I have owned it, my hair looks healthier, less fried, it feels smoother, and it will actually grow. The length of my hair hadnt grown out in over 3 years, it grew yes, but it broke off so much at the bottom from my old straightner that it never looked any longer. Once I found this flat iron my hair is actually long again! All of this was great, but I didnt realize how much I loved this new amika flat iron, unitl last week...when I dropped it off the bathroom counter on accident, and broke the plate out. Angry yes, but it was completely my fault. So for the past few days I have had to use my old wet-to-straight flat iron, and I hate it! My hair is dry, it pulls, and my hair feels so rough. I have to take the iron over each piece 3-4 times, as opposed to the 1 with my amika. And it takes me twice as long, to get a worse look. Not to mention, with my amika I could curl my hair as well, so I would do big pretty curls to change it up...not an option with other straightners. :/ I miss my amika....so I am buying a new one asap! Definitely recommend this flat iron to everyone! Once you use it, you wont be able to go back!posted Mar 6, 2011Link to this post
Denice B.HairDark BrownCurly HairI Love The Amika Flat Iron!This flat iron actually straightens my hair with ease! It only takes a few minutes. A little hot oil treatment, wash and dry and I'm ready for my style. I'm from curly to straight in minutes! I highly recommend this flat iron.posted Feb 9, 2011Link to this post
BasketballloverHairBlondeCurly HairThick or Coarse HairToo Hottt!I really liked this straightener until about 6 months later when one day i decided not to straighten my hair. Before, when i just let my hair air dry it was not frizzy and damaged.. this time it was horrible.. now because of this straightener i have to use products to fix my hair. Now I have a hot tools 1" straightener and it is sooo much better.. I recommend that you do not buy this straightener because it is a waste of money, i have now spent more money on products to fix my hair, I even have scheduled treatments to reduce the frizziness and split ends. I hated this straightenerposted Feb 5, 2011Link to this post
LynneHairMedium BrownDry HairThis Straightener Has Some Dos And Donts.please Read.I was looking for a nice straightener because i had a old crappy conair :( i have read tons of reviews on CHI and Amika because i heard those were the two best out there.I went and bought an Amika because most of the reviews were great! I love this straightener so much andi dont like it for a few things.I love this straightener because i put it on its highest and it makes my hair straight with one streak.It also curls and flips but you have to know how to do it correctly.One thing i didnt like is that when i went to the mall to first try out this product it worked SO well you would think it went for 500 dollars.But when i got my own it didnt move up to the perfect standards like the other one.But dont make this the reason to not get one ,overall this straightener is great.I think that most people will find it great too.Thanks for reading this.I hope it helps (:posted Jan 23, 2011Link to this post

File photo by Mark Zuckerman / NATS INSIDER
The Nats a win today to salvage a series split with the Brewers.
Their lead in the NL East is down to 4 1/2 games, so should the Nationals be worried? Well, much as they'd like to still lead the Braves by 7 or 8 games, they're still in a commanding position heading down the stretch. If the Nats merely go 5-5 the rest of the way, Atlanta would have to go 9-0 just to force a one-game tiebreaker for the division title. Even if the Nats completely fall apart and go 3-7, the Braves would need to go 7-2 to force that extra game. Still seems unlikely.
The Nationals, of course, do need to win a few more games to wrap this thing up, and they'd certainly love to move step closer today with a victory in their series finale against the Brewers (who are trying to hang on in the Wild Card race but still trail the Cardinals by 2 1/2 games for that final postseason berth).
Wisconsin native Jordan Zimmermann is the starter for this Monday matinee. He'll face a former National in Marco Estrada, who in case anyone forgot posted a 7.20 ERA in 15 appearances (all but one out of the bullpen) for Washington in 2008 and 2009 but has since become a legitimate big-league starter for Milwaukee.
I've got today off, possibly my last day off until the Nationals' season ends (whenever that is). Chase Hughes is covering on my behalf, though, so look for his game updates here and the day's other news on the homepage. I'll talk to you all tomorrow from Philadelphia…

The circumstances of Leighton Meester's birth could not have been more different from that of Blair Waldorf, the scheming bad girl she plays on Gossip Girl. Meester was born in Marco Island, Florida, while her mother was serving a federal prison term for marijuana smuggling. Meester makes no judgments about her mother's situation back then. "People change," she says. Experience in local theater in Florida gave Meester a yen for the real thing. When she was ten, she and her mother moved to New York, where she attended the Professional Children's School. Meester modeled before deciding to concentrate on acting, and like many other New York actors, she made her TV debut on Law & Order. At fourteen, Meester moved to Los Angeles, where she attended high school in the 90210 zip code. She did not graduate, however. The peripatetic Meester's high school diploma is from a private school in Hawaii. Her breakout role came in 2004 as the Britney Spears–like singer Justine Chapin on HBO's Entourage. From there, it was on to roles in shows like 8 Simple Rules, CSI Miami, Veronica Mars, and House. Like several of her co-stars, Meester has a side interest in music. She recorded a song for the soundtrack of her film Drive Thru and is releasing her first album in fall 2009. Meester's real-life love interest is actor Sebastian Stan, who plays Carter Baizan on Gossip Girl.

Federal Drive interviews - Sept. 17
Monday - 9/17/2012, 9:19am EDT
Kari Craun — Director, National Geospatial Technical Operations Center, U.S. Geological Survey
The U.S. Geological Survey is constantly updating its maps. It figures locals know the in's and out's of their neighborhoods. So it is trying to harness that data through a new citizen cartographer project. Craun discusses what the agency is doing and how other agencies might learn from them.
Owen Barwell — Managing Director, Global Public Sector, Grant Thornton
It may have come a week late, but the White House has delivered its much-anticipated sequestration report. And the results are about as grim as expected. It says the automatic spending cuts would be "deeply destructive" to national security and civilian agencies. It predicts an 8.2 percent budget cut for civilian agencies. Defense discretionary spending would take an even steeper hit. Barwell is the former acting chief financial officer of the Energy Department.
Jerry Ellig — Senior Research Fellow, Mercatus Center, George Mason University
The Obama White House says it has cut red tape, reduced paperwork for businesses and citizens and required agencies to simplify or get rid of old regulations. But how effective has this been? Part of our special week-long multimedia series "The Obama Impact: Evaluating the Last Four Years." The Federal Drive turns to Jerry Ellig, who was acting director of the Federal Trade Commission's Office of Policy Planning under George W Bush.
Jon Powers — Federal Environmental Executive, White House Council on Environmental Quality
The administration's push to create a more energy efficient government has made the term "green government" almost a household word. Federal agencies are adopting energy sustainability practices not seen in previous administrations. Part of our special week-long multimedia series "The Obama Impact: Evaluating the Last Four Years," we look at how the administration implemented its culture-changing sustainability measures.
Terry Weaver — President, Weaver Consulting, LLC & Accessibility & Government Policy and Procurement Strategist for SSB BART Group
Electronic and Information Technology within every federal agency needs to be accessible to people with disabilities in order to comply with Section 508 of the Americans with Disabilities Act. A recent Justice Department report found only half of the various offices within agencies are making technology accessible in the appropriate way.

Agencies, colleges share top recruiting tips in tight budget times
Thursday - 9/13/2012, 5:30am EDT
Audio story on Federal Drive, produced by Mike O'Connell
Seventy-five percent of federal chief human capital officers responding to a new Federal News Radio survey said tighter budgets have impacted their ability to recruit new employees.
Of the 12 CHCOs and deputy CHCOs who took the survey, two said budget constraints have impacted their agency's recruiting to a "great extent," five said the impact has been "moderate," and two said the impact has been "limited."
"We are no longer able to recruit new employees in a timely manner to effect a smooth transition of knowledge," one CHCO wrote. "We use the salary lapse to fill other needs, often leaving positions vacant longer, which adversely affects those who must carry a heavier workload and reduces productivity/performance of the mission."
That problem is only exacerbated by the growing number of federal employees choosing to retire. According to statistics from the Office of Personnel Management, 82,837 federal employees retired in 2011. That's up from 76,864 in 2010.
Federal recruiters are looking to the nation's colleges and universities to boost their staffs, but finding the best candidates can be a challenge. Agency recruiters and college advisers tell Federal News Radio there are certain cost-effective and innovative techniques that work better than others when it comes to recruiting the next generation of federal employees.
Tim McManus, Partnership for Public Service
Tim McManus, vice president for education and outreach at the Partnership for Public Service, said the government needs to place a priority on reaching out to college students and recent graduates to fill its vacant positions.
"The federal workforce is older than the workforce at large," he said. "That's reason number one to bring those folks in."
According to the Congressional Budget Office, the average age of a federal employee is 45 compared with 41 in the private sector.
A younger generation of recruits also brings innovation, creativity and new ways of thinking to the federal process, McManus said.
"Clearly, our government has a lot of challenges," McManus said. "We have to bring in differing views."
Establishing a two-way relationship
Although many students and recent graduates may be interested in working for the federal government, the path to the civil service can still be daunting, according to college advisers who spoke with Federal News Radio.
They say it's important for recruiters to foster a two-way relationship with a school's advising staff to help ease students into the federal workforce.
Asked how closely their organizations worked with colleges and universities to recruit new employees, seven of the 12 CHCOs surveyed said the organizations did so to "a great extent." One said "a moderate extent" and four said to "a limited extent."
Jennifer Carignan, a career adviser for American University's School of Public Affairs, said members of American's career advising staff want to work with federal recruiters any way they can, whether through on-campus events or posting job and internship opportunities for students to see.
Jennifer Carignan, career adviser, American University
"One of the biggest challenges, not only for students but also for professionals in career services, is that federal agencies are oftentimes very large, they have recruiters in different offices or different departments, so it can be difficult sometimes to navigate bureaucracy," she said. "To the extent possible that recruiters are able to reach out to us and let us know that they're there and they're interested in our students, we're very interested in working with them."
At American, job fairs and similar events that offer one-on-one interactions with federal employees can be among the most valuable opportunities for students seeking a career in the federal service, Carignan said.
"Oftentimes that personal touch of actually being able to talk to a person and ask about what they do on a daily basis and what the culture of their organization is like, it's those interactions that oftentimes make a big difference in whether a student actually applies for a position," she said.
Christine Cruzvergara, associate director for employer relations and career development at George Mason University in Fairfax, Va., said her school was interested in linking up with federal recruiters.
"Honestly, we'd love to develop some of those relationships," she said. "We'd love to develop some new relationships with some other agencies that are also highly sought after by our students like the NIH, even stronger relationships with the State Department, for example, DoD, things like that."
Every fall, Georgetown University hosts Government Week, which offers a concentrated group of programs focused on pursuing a federal career.
"Having an employer partner with us and offering a workshop on how to write a federal resume or doing a panel where they bring in an alum to talk about 'This is what I did when I was an undergraduate here. This is what I'm doing now,'" said Tara Duprey, assistant director of external relations at Georgetown's Cawley Career Education Center. "Those kinds of touchpoints are really powerful and more and more employers are beginning to see beyond only the information session, rather making it a multi-pronged approach when they're doing an information session."
Agencies that engage with students on campus facilitate the employment process, said Sara Fishering, the education coordinator at the University of Maryland's National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism (START).
"I know that the [National Security Agency] is reaching out on the University of Maryland campus more and more and that's great," she said. "That means, as a staff member, I can talk to their recruiters and HR people directly and ask them 'How can I help my students stand out when you're looking at all of these hundreds of applications?'"
Government and colleges working together
START is a DHS Center of Excellence that conducts research on the causes of terrorism, focusing on the behavioral and social sciences. Its headquarters is based at UMD, but it has offices all over the country and internationally. The UMD program offers a minor in global terrorism studies and an online graduate certificate in terrorism analysis.
Sarah Fishering, education coordinator, National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism, UMD
"We also have a career development program, which is funded by a grant from the Department of Homeland Security," Fishering said. "This year, we have students with a language focus. In the past, we have done programs that are more simply based in undergraduate terrorism analysis training. We also have a huge internship program where we have between 40 and 60 undergraduate and master degree level students working directly with us on our research projects here at the University of Maryland."
During the summer, the internship program has students working all over the country and, during the fall and spring, the students tend to be from the Washington area. "They work with our researchers in teams on the projects that the researchers are conducting," Fishering said. "We have students working on the Global Terrorism Database, which is one of our larger products."
At UMD, START recently hosted a panel of experts from private organizations and the public sector to talk to students about where they thought the Homeland Security industry was headed.
"We had a networking event right afterwards where students had the opportunity to follow up and have more kind of in-depth conversations with the panelists," said Fishering.
"They don't just leave here with skills they learn in the internship program, they leave here with a bigger network, with other transferable skills," Fishering said. "We go over their resumes, things like that, so that when they transfer into the workforce they have a smoother transition."
Reaching students where they live
Some agencies are going even further in how they recruit on campuses. The Department of Defense employs a multifaceted approach to hiring new recruits for its civilian staff, including a mix of brick-and-mortar strategies and social media.
Through its Student Training and Academic Recruitment (STAR) program, DoD hires students part-time to help them recruit their peers on campus.
"We found that peer-to-peer recruiting is very successful in letting students know there are civilian career opportunities at the Department of Defense," said Carin Otero, chief of strategic recruitment programs at the Defense Civilian Personnel Advisory Service (DCPAS).
STAR students put in about 20 hours a week for DoD while going to school full-time. "We typically hire them when they're a rising junior and they're getting into thinking about their career field," Otero said. "It is our hope that they'll consider a career with the Department of Defense when they graduate."
DoD currently partners with five universities on the STAR program: Michigan Technological University; the University of Puerto Rico at Mayaguez; Tennessee State University; the Rochester Institute of Technology's National Technical Institute for the Deaf and the University of Maryland's Baltimore campus.
While budgets may be tight, Sheila Reid Dent, the technical director for HR operations and advisory services at DCPAS, said her agency is still hiring.
"Even in a year that we're not hiring new bodies, we still had our attrition hiring," Dent said. "Last year, we still hired 80,000 new-hire civilians at DoD and the year before it was 100,000. So, we still have a significant level of hiring going on even with reduced budgets and projected further reductions."
While DoD branched out into virtual career fairs to recruit new employees, many college students are telling recruiters they prefer the old way of doing things.
"They like meeting recruiters, looking them in the eyes and having some dialogue with a real person," Dent said. "It validates that having multiple modes of recruiting are really important, and that is the future of identifying our future workforce."
In addition to social media and career fairs, DoD recruiters reach out via their website, GoDefense.com and toll-free number 1-888-DOD-4USA.
"We don't think there's one successful way to recruit, but we want to employ as many diverse and exciting strategies that we can to attract candidates," Dent said.
Pathways to the civil service
In July, the Office of Personnel Management implemented its new Pathways Programs as a way to streamline the hiring of college students and recent graduates. The initiative is made up of three elements: an internship program, a recent graduate program and the Presidential Management Fellows Program.
The system was established after OPM found that students were struggling to compete in a system that was very experience-based.
Twelve chief human capital officers responded to a recent Federal News Radio survey about how important internship programs are to recruiting. [Click on chart to enlarge.] |
"We didn't want to lose sight of the fact that with education and a great dose of potential, we would have some excellent employees that we could bring on board," Angela Bailey, OPM's associate director of employee services, said.
Federal News Radio asked CHCOs about the importance of internships and programs such as Pathways in helping to recruit college students and recent college grads. Half of those surveyed said those types of programs were "very important," while the other half was equally divided between "somewhat important," "not at all" important and "it's not clear."
"Since the program just began, we do not have much data on its impact on recruitment to this point," one CHCO commented in the survey. "The old program was important for the recruiting of college students."
Selling a career in public service
Ultimately, whether through campus visits, internships, social media or interviews, the federal recruiter must impart to potential new hires the advantages of choosing a job in the civil service over on in the private sector.
"One is upward mobility," Cruzvergara said. "A lot about the federal government is structured in a way that really encourages advancement, professional development, growth of skills and new responsibilities, so that's a huge benefit to going into the federal government is just how structured and organized they are for that upward mobility and trajectory."
Christine Cruzvergara, University Career Services, GMU
In addition, many of the jobs in the federal government are "ladder positions," in which employees know when they're hired within a few years they'll be able to move up a couple of rungs on the job ladder. "Within a five-year period, you may have increased your responsibilities and salary quite significantly," Cruzvergara said.
"There's also a lot of stability in the federal government," Cruzvergara said. "And the benefits are absolutely phenomenal in terms of retirement, in terms of health care benefits, ... when you talk about work-life balance and flexibility. Teleworking has become a big thing for the federal government and with the new millennial generation that's graduating and going into the workforce, that's something a lot of them have said is very important to them is that balance and work-life flexibility, and that is something that the civil service really does provide."
Another appealing factor for many graduates is the federal service's "larger mission," Cruzvergara said.
"To know that you're part of that bigger mission and that you're serving the country and giving back in a bigger way is also a benefit of the civil service," she said.
(More results of Federal News Radio's exclusive survey with chief human capital officers will be released later this month.)

Great video, except for all the giggling! My God, the second that blonde boots starts masturbating (w or w/out glass dildo) anyone who really loves eating pussy would shut up, and be immediately aroused. Only when they had their tongues in pussys and started the ass licking, did they finally shut up (didn't look like they really liked licking ass). If you're hungry for a beautiful woman, my tongue would be so far in either hole, it would come out their mouths. Loved jerking off to it, but I'm just sayin' ? Real lesbians?

Under the command of Col. William Travis, 189 Texan soldiers bravely defended this fort for 13 days before finally succumbing to Santa Anna's massive Mexican army in early 1836. The chapel and the Long Barrack are all that remain of the fort. Saved from civilian apathy by the Daughters of the Republic of Texas, the mission is now a museum containing relics from the era.

Mufflers & Exhaust Components at 1A Auto
What is a Muffler and where is it Located?
A muffler is a key part of your vehicle's exhaust system and is usually located underneath the vehicle towards the rear. It is mounted to the undercarriage of the automobile with a hanger bracket and clamp. Milton and Marshall Reeves, brothers from Columbus, IN, were granted the patent for a modern automotive exhaust muffler back in 1897. For an idea over a century old, the basic idea of a muffler has changed very little.
Your exhaust is responsible for keeping the thousands of explosions taking place inside your car or truck's engine from deafening you and everyone around you. It does this by routing the sound pressure your engine creates when it's busy turning fuel into forward motion through a muffler which in turn minimizes the noise. In a standard automotive muffler, the inside of the canister is designed with a series of chambers lined with insulation and tubes consisting of numerous perforations, or baffles. The pressure waves produced by the activity of the engine, in addition to the exhaust gases, enter into the muffler and are bounced around, creating reflected sound waves of a roughly equal nature that move in opposite directions. When the waves interfere with one another, they cancel each other out by the time they exit the muffler, thus reducing the sound that comes from the engine.
Automobile exhaust systems are also responsible for keeping all the nasty byproducts of internal combustion moving out the back of the vehicle and into the atmosphere, through the muffler and then the tailpipe. This keeps the exhaust gases from building up in the passenger compartment, which is a good thing considering the lack of breathable air in car exhaust.
Because the engine's exhaust gasses and sound pressure waves share the same complicated and restrictive pathway through the chambers of the muffler, unavoidable backpressure is created. If the vehicle is not tuned for it, backpressure can actually decreases the performance of an engine. It is for this reason that performance mufflers exist. They most commonly have a straight-through design that reduces backpressure. However, with an increase in power usually comes an increase in exhaust sound from the engine so there is certainly a trade-off when it comes to automotive mufflers.
When do I Need a Replacement Muffler?
The obvious answer to this question is "when people shudder upon hearing the terrifying noise that heralds your arrival, wherever you go." As typical automotive mufflers are under the vehicle and exposed to all manner of corrosive salt or road grime while driving, rust is one of the main reasons for needing to replace the muffler on your car or truck. Exhaust gases can escape through a rust-hole, making for a loud commute or less than ideal atmospheric conditions. Welds can crack, rocks can dent and salts can corrode. Any of these unfortunate situations can call for a replacement muffler.
Because of its location, it's usually "out of sight, out of mind" when it comes to mufflers. Buck that notion and have a look under your vehicle from time to time to check on the condition of your muffler. If it has rotted out and looks like it's about to fall off, it's time to replace it.
Need a Muffler Replacement?
Having a working exhaust muffler on your vehicle is extremely important. If it is not in good shape, not only will you experience a loss in the reduction of engine noise, but a muffler that is in poor condition may keep a car or truck from passing state-required smog tests. If your vehicle is in need of a muffler replacement, then you have come to the right place. At 1A Auto, shopping for a replacement muffler is easy - we're here to help you select the right one for your vehicle! We carry a large selection of aftermarket mufflers and other exhaust system components like exhaust pipes, tail pipes, and much more. Call our customer service toll free at 888-844-3393 if you have any questions about our aftermarket mufflers, warranty, compatibility, or to purchase, or you can buy online. If your car or truck's muffler is loud, noisy, rusted out, or missing, replace it now with a great fitting aftermarket muffler from 1A Auto!

I'm curious in seeing at the end of the draft how people selected players, decided if they were going to go young, etc. i'll post more on this much later, but I find this very interesting.

I'm curious in seeing at the end of the draft how people selected players, decided if they were going to go young, etc. i'll post more on this much later, but I find this very interesting.
Alright let's hear it fellas, the draft is over.
I basically just decided "ok, I want to go for a older vet here" or "ok, I want to go for a young guy here."
Oh man. Maybe I got a little to into this. Or I have too much time on a plane.
I wanted to build a foundation of young players that were complemented by older vets. I decided to make my first few selections young players to build around. In the later rounds, I looked for vets.
I went for defense, inside game, and youth
I basicly assigned weighted numberical values to each player through an Excel macro and created two "Indexes". One for Overall value and one for "Win Now" which is how i did my picks dependant upon need. I kind of created my own formula and appllied it to the draft. Here's the top of the board.
Attachment 3916
I went BPA with my first pick (Dirk)
Then the 2 things i know i needed were a defensive minded Center and a well rounded Guard. I got both (Rose and Divac)
I then wanted a young wing player to grow with Dirk so i think on my list i had Darius Miles or Quentin Richardson and i chose Q-Rich. Then i wanted a defensive/3-pt making SF so Rick Fox seemed an obvious choice.
Bench wise i went relatively young guys with room for improvement (Bender and Lewis) and then i wanted someone to run my 2nd unit effectively so i went with veteran PG Charlie Ward.
I went bpa for my first pick then mostly age/potential.
Well guys I had no idea what I was doing but my draft came out kinda strong. I'm thinking about having my 2nd pick coming off the bench (Jason Terry) and running hopefully a OKC Thunder type of game with Franchise, Cliff and Terry. Hopefully the draft won't turn out to be the most fun I will have...
Glad to see Andre Miller on your list!
I went into the draft with the mindset of drafting under 25 year old players with solid stats and good potential. That didn't work out to well as we got later into the draft and my picks were already late in the round. So alot of the guys i was going after got picked up. I was trying to draft young balanced with potential. Just didn't work out for me. BallSoHard had the right idea (and alot of free time,LOL). I'm sure he got the best overall value in the draft.
BallSoHard, that's weak Excel logic. WEAK!!! Haha
Up to 7 rounds there was one team with a higher win now index than me but I took the overall value category. The team that had the highest win now also is like -20mill Over the salary cap and I have a million to spare. My goal was to let the first two or three picks almost pick themselves on my board then decide if I should try and win now or build. I happened to get a young enough core to contend for awhile (I hope). I also had trades secured and due to the initial trading fiasco I have to ensure I had around 10 million left in the cap for my trades to go through. There were a lot of "reaches" and very good picks (Stockton and Malone) later in the draft. I think Stockton and Malone were top 10 win now players that fell in the 4th and 2nd.
I just picked people at random ;)
Oh I know, Your team rating shows that. Kidding =p
I put all of my focus on the 8th round pick and trusted lady luck to deliver 11 other players.
I wanted McCarty bad.
Tray, who's hating on my spreadsheet now?

Fukushima City has 290.000 citizens and the Japanese government probably thinks that it is to big to evacuate.
– This Is Outrageous: Japanese Government Killing Its Own People In Fukushima (Video)
Fukushima City has to be evacuated NOW!
The Japanese people are used as guinea pigs:
– AND NOW: Japanese Government Sets 100 Millisieverts As New Lifetime Standard
… these are not "dosimeters" but "glass badges" that passively collect radiation information. It won't help these children or their parents to avoid high-radiation areas and spots, it won't tell them how much radiation they will have been exposed unless they are sent in to a company to interpret the data.
Nuclear scientist Leuren Moret has high-level insider information. Listen to the entire interview:
– Children in Fukushima to be given regular cancer tests (Telegraph, July 26, 2011):
Children living in the nuclear-hit Fukushima region of Japan are to undergo regular cancer tests for the rest of their lives.
Fukushima prefectural government plans to carry out regular ultrasound examinations on all residents who were 18 years old or under when the nuclear crisis broke out on March 11.
The tests, designed to spot early symptoms of thyroid cancer, will be conducted every two years until the age of 20 and then every five years, according to Japanese news reports.
An estimated 360,000 young residents will be entitled to the free medical tests, which will start operating from October this year, with further in-depth urine and blood testing taking places if any abnormalities are discovered.
News of the lifelong testing follows growing concern surrounding the potential health impact of the still stricken Fukushima nuclear power plant on residents in surrounding regions.
Following the March 11 earthquake and tsunami, the power plant has leaked radiation into the surrounding soil, air and sea, prompting evacuation of the immediate area and a string of food scares relating to local produce.
Fears over radiation have spread to food, and the government has announced plans to stem a growing scare relating to cows that were fed radiation-contaminated hay by buying up and burning all tainted beef.
Nearly 3,000 cattle feared to have been contaminated with radioactive caesium have been shipped nationwide and are suspected of being sold to supermarkets and restaurants across the country.
Tokyo Electric Power Company, operators of the damaged power plant, are expected to face picking up the bill for the new plan to buy and burn all tainted beef, with estimated costs expected to run to £15.7 million (two billion yen).
The authorities in Fukushima also this week mobilised close to 4,000 people – mostly residents – to help clean up areas to speed up the decontamination process across the region.
Thousands of residents are helping to haul mud and debris from streets and gutters as well as weeding in a bid to assist with the clean up process in areas where high radiation levels have been recorded.

It's Strax, not Starx. You got it right 1 out of 3 times.
Here we are, almost a week later, and we are still discussing the final moments of the Seventh Season of Doctor Who. The BBC has helped with clips and reposts of those final moments. Now they have posted "Strax's Field Repor"t. Join in on the conversation here or on Mania's review of "The Name of the Doctor".
"It appears the Doctor has kept one of his many faces from view..." Strax reveals more...
The 50th Anniversary Special airs Saturday November 23, 2013.
"Still not round enough..."
HA! Strax is such a hilarious character. He's an alien version of Tackleberry from the Police Academy movies.

The article said that they have yet to release all the source code of SplashTop, if I understand correctly. How come they haven't released it yet on a CD or something, which you get when you buy the motherboard? Doesn't GPL state that you have to distribute the source code with the compiled code?
Maybe I'm missing something here.

SaraHairLight BrownCurly HairIt Was Okive had this flat iron for like 3 years and it hasnt stopped working once. it makes your hair smooth, but it also kills your hair and gives you tons of dead ends. i have the chi too but it recently stopped working so i had to go back to my old straightener. i used it once and it completely straightened my hair but just after one use my hair was dead. i stopped using it until i can get a better straightener to replace my chi. it works, it makes ur hair dead, but it works!posted Aug 21, 2011Link to this post
MeganHairBlackNormal HairAt First Was Goodwhen i first got it i loved it but after a few months it stopped working completelyposted May 18, 2011Link to this post
LindaHairDark BrownCurly HairColor Treated HairThis Is My Favorite Iron!I am very surprised when I read these reviews. This is the third one that I am ordering of this pruduct. Yes, it creaks and yes it may only last one year but it is by far, the best one I've purchased. Infact, I just bought another Hot Tools iron that is more expensive and I am getting ready to return it so that I can purchase this one again. Love the price for the results too!posted May 12, 2011Link to this post
PamelaHairBlackNormal HairFine or Thin HairWasn't What I Expected...This was my first straightner, however, I expected more. The iron doesn't glide, and it pulls my hair (it hurts!). Also, it makes this weird creaking noise like a rusted door. It gets annoying because when I get ready for school, the loud noise wakes my family up. But it straightens my hair just fine, and the results are pretty amazing.posted Mar 16, 2011Link to this post
HannahHairBlondeOily HairCurly HairThick or Coarse HairThe Worst Flat Iron...ever!i have been through many a flat iron. many many brands. this was the worst. it didn't glide at all, and it left terrible creases to my thick long blonde healthy hair (that never creased before unless it was MY fault) it gave me split ends, and the hair all clumped together and stuck there. it got frizzy and didnt get rid of curls, only flattened them. greaaaat..... the smell coming from it was terrible, the heat settings were just plain effed up, and it was just an overall terrible product!posted Mar 11, 2011Link to this post
NicoleCanadaHairBlackColor Treated HairThick or Coarse HairRelaxed HairGreat ProductI used this for the first time today. I have thick, long hair , I'm half black, half indian. I had just washed and blow dried my hair, so it was really big and frizzy. The flat iron worked absolutely great. It flattened my hair and when I reached the ends and turned the iron up it curled the ends too. Love this product and I highly recommend it. My hair is now smooth like I just left the salon.posted Feb 27, 2011Link to this post
ErinLong Island, NyHairMedium BrownCurly HairThick or Coarse HairNot So Badi have very thick and curly hair and i bought this for my first straightener. at first it smells a little weird but thats only because of the coating that is on it, just like every other straightener. this straightener overall is a very very good. and i was surprised it worked so well for what i paid for. the only bad part was that it broke but that was after i was using it daily for a year.posted Dec 13, 2010Link to this post
Marina F.HairNormal HairThick or Coarse HairRelaxed HairBest Flat Iron I Have Ever Used !I looked at all the reviews before I bought it and decided to try it. I'm glad that I did because when i use this flat iron, I get salon results ! my hair is silky, smooth , and flowy . I love this , it is a MUST HAVE !posted Dec 8, 2010Link to this post
SofiaNorth CarolinaHairDark BrownNormal HairIt Has Lasted 3 Years!I have had this straightener for 3 years now and it still works! I take good care of all of my things, so it has lasted me through 2 moves. Theres something that came loose on the inside, so you hear something move on the inside of it, but it still gets the job done! I don't have really thick and unmanageable hair, my hair just gets really wavy so it straightens my hair easily. I love it, and I definitely love the price! Now I'm looking for a smaller one since I cut off almost all of my hair!posted Oct 28, 2010Link to this post
LydiaAmazingThis flat iron is amazing! I have pretty curly hair that is very thick and I can straighten my whole head in about 15 minutes. I'm sure that if you go out and spend $100+, then you could get something much better, but for the price, it cannot be beat!posted Jun 28, 2010Link to this post

2013 NBA Draft Profiles: Allen Crabbe
Today's featured draft profile will be on the University of Cal's 3-point specialist, Allen Crabbe. Arguably the best pure shooter in this year's class, the 2013 PAC-12 Player of The Year is best known for his seemingly unlimited range and easy-going attitude on the court. At 6'6 with good length, he has the frame of a prototypical shooting guard, and possesses a solid skill-set that could fill a need on just about any team in the NBA. Labeled as a late first round pick when he initially declared, it appears that an impressive performance at the pre-draft combine has upped Crabbe's value, as some mocks have him going in the teens. The Knicks will be bringing in another group of possible picks for workouts on Monday, and Crabbe will be one of the prospects in attendance.
Birthday: 4/4/92 – Projected NBA Position: Shooting Guard – Class: Junior – Ht: 6-6 – Wt: 197 – Hometown: Los Angeles, CA
2012-13 Per Game Averages: 18.4 Points – 2.6 Assists – 6.1 Rebounds – 45.9 FG% – 34.8 3P% – 81.3 FT%

Will Space Mountain be featured?
Remember when we thought the 1952 project that Brad Bird and Damon Lindelof was actually the next Star Wars film? Well we know that rumor has been put to rest. Disney has officially announced that the project Brad Bird and Damon Lindelof were calling 1952 will now be known as Tomorrowland. Here is Disney's official press release. It is very short.
Disney's 1952 Officially Titled Tomorrowland
The Walt Disney Studios has announced that its live-action release previously known as 1952 will be titled Tomorrowland. The film will be released domestically on December 19, 2014. George Clooney (The Descendants) is set to star.
Tomorrowland is written by Damon Lindelof and Brad Bird from a concept by Lindelof and Jeff Jensen. Lindelof (Star Trek, Lost, Prometheus) will produce and Bird (The Incredibles, Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol) will produce and direct.
Is Tomorrowland the place where they release the story details for this movie?
He should've made numbers his new thing with 1906 and 1952 been 2 films he has on his plate
I frankly don't care about the title, tell me it's a Brad Bird film and I'm there
I know it's way too early, they haven't given out any plot whatsoever, but the two titles 1952 and Tomorrowland makes me think of a Captain Proton scenario. A scifi adventure with a 50s view
This could be a dieselpunk type story. Where they have advanced technology but with a early fifties design aesthetic; like robots, flying cars, space travel, etc.
I love the fact you felt the need to put (The decenendants) after Clooney's name, as noone knows who the hell this guy is...
I think you mean The Descendants. The Decenderants hasn't been made yet
Yeah FerretJohn and redvector I could go for something like that. One of my favorite films and criminally underrated is Sky Captain, love that specific genre

Phoronix: Tweaking KDE's KWin For Linux Gaming Performance
After looking recently at the impact on performance and power consumption of various Linux desktop environments running under Ubuntu 12.04 (Unity, Unity 2D, GNOME Shell, KDE, Xfce, LXDE, and Openbox), there were requests by many Phoronix readers to look at the impact of KDE on 3D gaming. KDE's KWin compositing window manager offers several options that can be easily changed that have a direct result on the Linux system's performance for full-screen OpenGL games.
interesting, i'm surprised suspended effects was generally slower than xrender. things like this really confuse me sometimes.
I believe xrender is mixed CPU/GPU, so that's why it performs better. Also, only most primitive effects work in xrender - you can forget about all fancy stuff like blur.
After recent remodelling of rendering in KWin, only "used" effects are actually rendered. Thanks to this, fulscreen applications actually run like there were no effects at all. Mind that more work is being done in order to deliver ever higher frame-rates in plasma desktop. As to why simple window managers are so light on CPU: they use only simplest of object to draw interfaces. If you take a look, you'll see that everything is built using rectangles and text. I'd love to use a hardware accelerated KDE window engine that uses such simple figures to draw interfaces. The combination would be killing all competition. I guess I'll have to write it myself someday.
What does it matter is it uses CPU? When in fullscreen, the window manager is idle. It consumes 0% CPU. So why the different results?
I'm 90% sure xrender is CPU only - KDE defaults to xrender when the GPU isn't functioning properly. I'm almost positive I have got xrender to operate with no functioning drivers, but I may be mistaken, hence my confusion.
I don't think KDE needs the simplified graphics because it isn't focused on performance, but your idea would propose a good new DE. Perhaps that's the route XFCE should take - XFCE claims to be lightweight (which it isn't) but instead maybe it could be the maximum performance DE. Being lightweight like LXDE isn't always the best thing, because it lacks things like hardware acceleration; being lightweight just means that a very crappy computer can handle it. XFCE isn't light enough to work on the really crappy hardware but lacks the features of heavier DEs, so maybe it could focus purely on making modern machines run as fast as possible.
XRender is GPU accelerated on most drivers.
From the xorg wiki (http://www.x.org/wiki/vmware/vmware3D):
So, xrender is GPU accelerated if there is a GPU to accelerate it, and as I've said before, is usually used when OpenGL is not an option.Originally Posted by Xorg Wiki;
Also jw but has the KDE in these tests been the one that's still using opengl 1.x? Because if so, I wonder if that has an affect on performance?
XRender is not accelerated on the VMware driver, but you won't be using that for gaming, will you?
XRender only accelerated 2D operation, and is vastly easier to implement than OpenGL, that's why it's used for compositing when OpenGL is not available on a given driver.

No green thumbs required: Gardeners and wannabees are welcome at Dawn Gardens
Alicia KnadlerIndian Valley Editor
A free compost workshop begins the organic gardening season Saturday, June 4, at the Dawn Gardens in Indian Falls, where a new crop of summer interns is as busy as the bees.
Master Composter Bob Boschee will lead the workshop and show people using hands-on techniques how easy it is to build a good compost pile.
He will also share his expertise with wormier methods, for those who are interested
Nearby farmers' markets Quincy Certified Farmers' Market Dawn Institute Produce Stand
Indian Falls Road, Indian Falls
Saturdays beginning in July
8 a.m. - noon
New Dawn interns include Andrew Culler and Beth Wacks, both most recently from the Bay Area.
Originally from Georgia, Culler wants to learn more about farming, and is enjoying the peaceful interlude at the Dawn, where he can escape distractions and refocus his energy on the future.
Out of all the small farms in Northern California he visited, he liked Dawn Gardens the best.
Dawn horticulturalist Manuel Boehmer inspires him with his experience and knowledge about sustainable living and gardening.
Wacks is originally from Baltimore, Md.
She interned at a small farm on the coast last year that was twice the size of the Dawn, with goats and chickens.
She enjoys learning about sustainable agriculture and is pleased with the mission of the Dawn Institute, which includes an educational aspect for community benefit.
Plumas County is an interesting place for Wacks, because there are so many different and exciting ideas happening for such a small place.
She plans to return to Maryland and participate in or start an urban farm or community garden.
Returning to the Dawn this year is intern Kari O'Riley, who is excited to be sharing her love of sustainable agriculture with school children and residents.
In Greenville public and charter schools, O'Riley is teaching students in second through sixth grade about sustainable gardening.
And every Wednesday through the summer, she will work with kids in the new Green Thumb Club.
Kids are welcome to have fun together and enjoy a variety of gardening activities, singing songs and making healthy snacks while learning more about their connection to food.
The club will meet from 10:30 a.m. - 3:30 p.m. each Wednesday at the Indian Valley Community Center on Highway 89 in Greenville, across from Sierra Sunrise Coffee House and Deli.
O'Riley will also host several open garden times where all residents are welcome to come and enjoy learning gardening together.
She will have some activities organized, and some activities will address whatever needs to be done in the garden that day.
O'Riley will post dates and times at the community center when she has figured out the schedule. For more information, call her at (805) 320-5279.
Produce now appearing
Dawn Gardens supplies fresh organic herbs, vegetables and fruits to Evergreen Market and Quincy Natural Foods, as well as to chefs at Pangaea Cafe and Pub and Longboards Bar and Grill.
Residents are welcome to shop for produce right at the garden each Saturday beginning in July, from 8 a.m. - noon.
