OMB increasing the tempo of strategic sourcing
Thursday - 12/6/2012, 1:34pm EST
The Office of Management and Budget is setting out a more aggressive series of steps toward mandating the use of strategic sourcing contracts.
Acting OMB Director Jeff Zients sent a memo to agency leaders yesterday codifying the Interagency Strategic Sourcing Leadership Council, expanding their charge to oversee the implementation of these contracts and requiring every agency to name a lead official to oversee strategic sourcing.
"[B]y March 2013, the SSLC shall submit to OMB a set of recommendations for management strategies for specific goods and services — including several IT commodities identified through the PortfolioStat process — that would ensure that the federal government receives the most favorable offer possible," Zients wrote. "Additionally, each of the SSLC agencies shall promote, to the maximum extent practicable, sound strategic sourcing practices within their agencies. For example, each SSLC agency shall establish an internal cross-functional strategic sourcing council to oversee the agency's related activities. These efforts include, but are not limited to, issuing and enforcing mandatory use policies for governmentwide and agencywide strategic sourcing solutions to the extent appropriate, providing acquisition and management data to the General Services Administration and other executive agents in support of the development of new solutions, and tracking spending and savings information for use by OMB, as further directed by the Office of Federal Procurement Policy."
Historic drop in spending
OMB's desire to quicken the pace of strategic sourcing contracts comes as it reports agencies spent $20 billion less on contracting in fiscal 2012, as compared to 2011.
Joe Jordan, the administrator of the Office of Federal Procurement Policy, said in a conference call with reporters Thursday that overall the government spent $513 billion on the acquisition of goods and services, down from $537 billion in 2011, a 4.5 percent decrease.
The reductions occurred across both civilian and Defense Department spending.
The Pentagon spent $360.5 billion in 2012, down from $374 billion last year and a 3.5 percent decrease.

Civilian agencies saw a 7 percent decrease from year to year, spending a total of $152 billion in 2012 as compared to $163 billion in 2011.
"It's not hyperbole to say this is a historic reduction in contract spending," Jordan said. "We decreased by $20 billion over fiscal 2011 levels, which is the largest single dollar decrease in history."
He said agencies met this mark because they focused on reducing spending in the right areas and the right ways, and OFPP gave them the tools to cut in a way that wouldn't impact their mission.
Jordan said agency efforts to reduce contracts for management support services are a good example of this right focus and right cuts.
Management support services reduced
OFPP said agencies reached President Barack Obama's goal of reducing spending on management support services by 15 percent between 2010 and 2012.
Jordan said agencies reduced spending on these types of contracts, which includes everything from professional and management services such as policy review and development services, and personal service contracts to IT support services such as automatic data processing services around development, and acquisition support and back up and security services, by about 16 percent.
In 2012, agencies spent about $33 billion on management support contracts, down from $40 billion in 2010. OFPP focused on these types of contracts because they grew from $10 billion in 2000 to $40 billion a decade later.
"This is through better planning, coordination by finance, program and acquisitions offices, and strengthening internal controls," Jordan said. "We really strengthened the internal controls and made sure certain categories such as IT development, engineering services, etc., we had strong focus on both how can buy smarter and buy less there."
And when it comes to buying smarter and buying less, OFPP believes strategic sourcing will continue to have a big impact.
The SSLC is led by Jordan, and includes seven of the largest agencies by procurement spend, including the departments of Defense, Veterans Affairs and Homeland Security, NASA and GSA, as well as the Army, Navy, Air Force and the Defense Logistics Agency. Zients also said the Small Business Administration is part of the council to ensure small businesses are not unduly impacted by these efforts.
Small business could be impacted
The impact of strategic sourcing on small businesses remains a growing concern. Some experts and vendors say the Federal Strategic Sourcing contract for office supplies are negatively affecting small businesses and costing the government more money.
Sam Bornstein, who is studying strategic sourcing at Kean University in New Jersey, said fast-tracking of strategic sourcing programs using blanket purchase agreements are of concern.
He said OMB's decision to move forward picks only a few winners and too many losers.
Bornstein said the office supplies BPA, which OMB says saved the government more than $140 million last year, is an example of things to come for 15 other product and service areas.
"By limiting contractor participation to only the 15 BPA awarded contractors, these non-winners suffered financial distress and had to layoff a significant number of their employees due to the lost federal sales," Bornstein said of the office supplies BPA. "My concern is for the unintended consequences, which will equate to the cost of economic loss due to the displacement of small businesses and the loss of jobs. I am suggesting a cost benefit analysis be performed to evaluate the economic impact on the U.S. economy and especially the small businesses and their employees, before these programs move forward."
Zients memo follows the September meeting of the President's Management Advisory Board, where he signaled the need to require agencies use the governmentwide and agencywide bulk buying contracts.
The Government Accountability Office also found in October the government is missing out on potentially billions in savings from using strategic sourcing contracts.
"Strategic sourcing was one of the most important initiatives of my time as administrator, and I am pleased to see that OMB is building on our successes to broaden strategic sourcing to more items," said Dan Gordon, the former OFPP administrator and now an associate professor at The George Washington University. "The challenge is not to build a new bureaucracy, but to find ways for agencies to work together more effectively. The U.S. government is the world's biggest customer, but too often it acts more like dozens of medium-sized ones. Strategic sourcing can help change that, by pooling the agencies' purchases of commonly used items."
The SSLC will make recommendations in seven areas to expand the use of strategic sourcing:
- Identify at least five products and/or services for which new governmentwide acquisition vehicles or management approaches should be developed and made mandatory.
- Provide a supporting spend analysis, estimate savings opportunities and define metrics for tracking progress against those five products or services.
- Identify existing contract vehicles and relevant contract renewal dates that could be used to develop transition strategies to the new solutions.
- Identify agencies that should serve as "executive agents" to lead the development of each of these new contract vehicles or approaches.
- Propose plans and management strategies to maximize the use of each strategic sourcing effort.
- Propose vendor management or other strategies that could be used to reduce the variability in the prices paid for similar goods and services, where the development of new governmentwide vehicles may not be immediately feasible.
- Propose other savings strategies that could be implemented, such as adapting existing vehicles to ensure that certain characteristics of strategic sourcing are followed.
GSA will play a key role in implementing the council's recommendations. Zients said the agency will develop contracts for each of the five categories in 2013 and 2014. It also will promote the transparency of prices paid for similar products and services, and make available strategic sourcing best practices.
Industry wants a seat at the council
Roger Waldron, the president of the Coalition for Government Procurement, an industry association, said the council is missing a key ingredient.
"The supplier base, the people who will execute the strategic sourcing, the private sector, should have a seat at the table," Waldron said. "You have these councils with OMB, you have the agencies who are the customers ultimately and then you have the suppliers, and if you eliminate that one leg it's not really strategic sourcing from my perspective. I hope as it moves forward they engage industry. I don't know why industry isn't part of council and participate at that strategic level. In the private sector, one of the best practices is to engage with the supplier base as you move to a strategic sourcing model."
He said he's also concerned about the possible mandatory nature of strategic sourcing and the impact the contracts could have on competition. He said previously when GSA had mandatory contracts, the agency faced lawsuits from the vendors on the mandatory contracts when agencies went outside the required vehicle to buy products or services.
Agencies have until Jan. 15 to name a senior official responsible for their agency's strategic sourcing efforts. This person "will have the authority to coordinate the agency's internal strategic sourcing activities and its participation in governmentwide efforts," Zients said.
Zients said the recent PortfolioStat sessions demonstrated multiple opportunities to consolidate buying around IT commodities, and increased use of shared services.
"Up front, we can make sure any vehicle GSA or another agency creates works for all of those agencies and we really can commit their spend through it," Jordan said. "Instead of what in the past has been a 'if you build it, they will come approach,' we will now ensuring all of the agencies up front are committing their spend to these vehicles and we are setting up contracts everyone wants to use."

Benmont's Debut Solo Album Coming February 18 - Los Angeles Album Release Shows on February 20 and 21
Blue Note Records will release the debut solo album from Benmont Tench, You Should Be So Lucky, on February 18, 2014. Produced by legendary producer Glyn Johns, the album was recorded to tape at Sunset Sound in Los Angeles and features Benmont handling lead vocals, piano and organs, joined by a team of collaborators including a core band of Don Was, Ethan Johns, Blake Mills and Jeremy Stacey and contributions by Ryan Adams, Gillian Welch & David Rawlings,Joel Jerome, Tom Petty and Ringo Starr.
RollingStone.com has premiered the lead track "Blonde Girl, Blue Dress" today, click here to listen. You Should Be So Lucky is available for pre-order at Amazon.com in both CD and 2-LP 180-gram vinyl formats.
The vinyl edition was mastered from the original analog tapes and includes two extra tracks not available on the CD and digital versions of the album.
You Should Be So Lucky is a dynamic and distinguished album of songs written almost entirely by Benmont over the course of his thirty-seven year career not only as keyboardist and founding member of Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers, but as a first call musician for artists from Johnny Cash and Bob Dylan to The Rolling Stones and Elvis Costello; from the Jayhawks and Ryan Adams to Fiona Apple and John Prine. The only non-originals are covers of the traditional "Corrina, Corrina" and the Bob Dylan track "Duquesne Whistle" from 2012's Tempest.
Benmont had always intended on making his own album, but the project gained momentum when Glyn Johns encouraged him to begin recording. Says Benmont about Johns: "Glyn is one of the greatest producers & engineers in the story of rock & roll. Hell, he was present at the creation. He has excellent taste, and he brooks no nonsense. He tells you exactly what he thinks, and he backs it up. I love him to death."
With Johns on board to produce, Benmont was thrilled when many of the musicians he most admires, many of which also happen to be friends, jumped at the chance to participate in the sessions. Don Was, who besides playing on the album, signed the artist as the President of Blue Note Records, describes the artist thusly: "Benmont is the most enigmatic, mystical and delightful musician I know. He never plays the same notes twice yet the notes he plays are always perfect and loaded with soul. His artistry is utterly uncategorizable....musicians from all walks of life hold him in the highest esteem and love to play with him. His presence on a session or stage elevates everyone's performance to new heights."
Benmont will celebrate the release of the album with two intimate shows at Largo in Los Angeles on February 20 and 21. Tickets will go on sale to the general public this Friday, December 20 at 11am PT.
February 20 Show Tickets will be available here.
February 21 Show Tickets will be available here.
A limited number of tickets for these shows will be made available to members of the Highway Companions Club via a special presale at 10am PT on Friday, December 20. Members will receive instructions via email next week on how to participate in the presale. Presale tickets will be limited to two tickets per member and will be available on a first come first serve basis once the presale begins. Presale ticket supplies are very limited. The presale will end at 10pm on Saturday December 21, although it is expected that the HCC Allotment will sell out quickly.

In times of crisis people always look for inspirational leaders. What makes for inspiration is subjective, but there is one common element when speaking about leaders who inspire: they have a strong leadership presence.
By presence we mean "earned authority." That is, people follow your leadership because you are a proven quantity, whose credibility rests on your having gotten things done. Every leader must aspire to demonstrate presence in order to inspire; this is a theme explored in a new book, 12 Steps to Power Presence: How Leaders Assert their Authority to Lead.

Think of yourself as a bottle of Gatorade®. Why? Because when sales of the neon-colored beverage went flat last year, Gatorade's marketing team rebranded the drink by touting it as a health-oriented, before, during and after sports drink. Although the ingredients are probably the same, the pitch changed.
It's a great strategy to mimic if you're looking for a new job or seeking investors to support an entrepreneurial venture, especially if you've been demoralized by losing a corporate job.
"Remember, you are not a job title," said Diane DiResta, a speaking strategist and author of Knockout Presentations. "You have to look at yourself as a package of skills and strengths."
It's become a classic business mantra: you learn more from your failures than from your successes. But what if that idea is all wrong? Alex Bogusky, co-chairman of Crispin Porter + Bogusky, believes it is--and recent MIT research showing that we learn more from success backs him up.
Picnik's Jonathan Sposato helped orchestrate one of the Seattle tech community's highest profile M&A deals of the year when he sold the online photo editing service to Google. The feat was even more impressive given that it marked the second time that the 43-year-old Internet entrepreneur had sold a company to the search giant. And Sposato did it all without taking a dime of venture capital.
So, how did he pull it off? Sposato offered his thoughts on bootstrapping as well as his tips for selling companies in a talk at Seattle Lunch 2.0 last Friday. We were there, taking notes and shooting video. Here are some of the highlights, including Sposato telling the crowd that he and co-founders Mike Harrington and Darrin Massena didn't take venture capital money because they were "greedy."
With the market for early-stage capital beginning to bounce back, I'm once again fielding calls from entrepreneurs wanting to know how much of their company to give away to investors to raise the money they need to launch their businesses or take them to the next level.
Unfortunately, there's no easy answer to this question. An established business with sales, profits and cash flow may sell for five to 10 times earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. But it's a lot harder to put a price tag on an early-stage venture that consists of a business plan, a web site and the founder's hopes and dreams. As a result, negotiations between start-ups and prospective investors often turn into angry arm-wrestling matches that end with both sides walking away empty-handed.
You may find this hard to believe, but there's some evidence that venture capital is facing the same kinds of threats that the big music labels found themselves struggling with just a few years ago.
It seems that VC's, and the things they bring to entrepreneurs, just aren't as important as they once were. And there is new competition making it harder to build and run a successful VC firm.
Who's raising the alarm about the future of venture? Well, it seems, the venture capitalists themselves.
How should a government promote entrepreneurship? This column argues that providing support programs for targeted sectors or companies is akin to "picking winners ex ante." A far better approach is to encourage competition in the financial sector that facilitates experimentation in the real economy. Governments should forget about picking winners and focus on picking the right system.
Dave Waldman, CEO and Founder of Los Angeles-based Bccthis, a startup looking to add additional functionality and private messaging into both corporate emails and Twitter messages. Bccthis just announced a version of their product which plugs into Gmail. Dave discusses how and why he and his co-founders--both previously executives at Twistbox--decided to start their own startup, specifically outside of the mobile industry, and a bit about the product.
DURHAM, N.C. - Hardly a day goes by when I don't have a rookie entrepreneur ask for advice on raising money from VCs.
They usually have a fancy-looking business plan with detailed spreadsheets showing how their company will be worth billions by capturing just 1 percent of a market. All they need is some financing, and they'll take the world by storm.
My advice is always the same: ditch the business plan, and buy a lottery ticket. Your odds are better, and you'll suffer less stress.

Patagonia black swim suit bottoms - the BEST! Great everyday full coverage suit that stays on. I wore them at my summer camp and never felt too exposed around the kids, so I could wear these bottoms every day, and they did well swimming, running, jumping, diving, wakeboarding, etc. for the whole summer! Would recommend them to everyone!!!
I always wear this suit while snorkeling, cliff jumping, and playing beach volleyball. It fits great and never stretches out giving you a snug fit day after day. I would recommend getting a bigger size if you are on the line because it does run small for that athletic fit. I am normally a medium top and bottom but had to get a large for both. (5'5'', 133 lbs)
Love these! I got the bottoms to go with a patterned Patagonia top for next spring/summer and could not be more pleased! Patagonia clearance in the off season? BRING IT! I ordered a medium (I'm usually a 6 or 8) and they fit a little snug but will be perfect once the loosen up in the water.

The proposed revision to New Albany's comprehensive plan was unveiled at Monday night's meeting of the Board of Aldermen and it's a lot to take in.
We've only begun studying the document. It will be available in the next few days online at ucda-newalbany.com.
As with any document that attempts to encompass areas as diverse as roads and land use to community facilities and community preservation, it skips through lots of important topics with just a sentence or two. But there are many meaty tidbits that deserve a close look by citizens before the final document is approved, probably in a couple of months.
The board set a public community meeting for 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 24, in the Magnolia Civic Center for representatives of Slaughter & Associates, urban planners, to go through the highlights and get comments and questions from citizens.
Two things struck us during the brief session Monday, one positive and one not so encouraging. Sam Russell, planning manager at the consulting company, said the development of the Tanglefoot Trail Rails-to-Trails project has the potential to be as important to the city's economy as opening a new manufacturing plant. We couldn't agree more.
But he also predicted that New Albany will see only slow growth, perhaps 20 housing units a year, for the foreseeable future, even if the planned Toyota plant opens. To us, it is important that the city focus on things that can positively impact that number.
We don't know how many people will turn out in the busy Thanksgiving holiday week for the public meeting, but we urge you to do so.
Comprehensive planning is the key to getting community development right. And holding elected officials accountable for following through on the plan, once adopted, is important.
That only happens when we all show an active interest in our future.

BATON ROUGE, La.-- At the Hotel Indigo in downtown Baton Rouge, they are prepping for a potential Super Bowl onslaught.
'We are approaching capacity,' said Margaret Chappuis, the hotel's director of sales. 'We have some rooms left on that Sunday and Saturday night -- but it is filling up.'
With New Orleans hosting the Super Bowl just 80 miles away, Baton rouge is looking to take advantage of geography. Tourism officials there are advertising their 10,000 area hotel rooms to football fans in the potential cities that could field a Super Bowl-bound team.
'We will go into those markets encouraging, inviting those individuals that if they can't get to New Orleans -- by accessibility or affordability or availability -- that Baton Rouge is an alternative,' said Paul Arrigo, president of 'Visit Baton Rouge.'
The hospitality industry in the state capital hopes the Super Bowl brings them a 90 percent hotel occupancy rate, on what would otherwise be a quiet weekend. Beyond just providing a place to stay, though, Baton Rouge is pushing its own attractions, including casinos, and they are putting together their own Super Bowl fan experience.
Workers are currently building a stage in Town Square to host musical acts in the days leading up the game. The city is also highlighting the three carnival parades that will roll there that weekend.
'So, we've got a New Orleans experience already,' Arrigo said, 'and we've got the aouth Louisiana lagniappe that we like to share with our visitors.'
It's lagniappe they hope to turn into into dollars by the time the Lombardi trophy is awarded. For more information, click here.

In your pom.xml file, do something like the following:
You must have a SCM portion in your pom.xml so the plugin knows where to find your code and comments:
If your source control server requires authentication before the user is able to browse the repository you'll need to add some configuration parameters:
Other configuration parameters can be found here.
Important note: In a multi-module project, the artifact of the module must match the folder name of the SCM. Ie: if you have a foo-model module it must be located at /foo-model from the urlBase of your SCM repository.
Gotcha: If a rename command is issued in the source control repository, the links in the changelog will more than likely be broken.

"You know what, Taylor Swift? You stay away from Michael J Fox's son," Fey said of Sam Fox, 23, who was this year's Mr. Golden Globe.
Vulture caught up with Michael J. Fox at a party and asked him how he'd feel if Sam and Taylor started dating.
"I don't keep up with it at all," Fox said. "Taylor Swift writes songs about everybody she goes out with, right? What a way to build a career."
Fox said that he wouldn't recognize Swift if Sam brought her home for dinner, but he might catch on if she wrote a break up song about him.
"'Sam, You Piece of Shit.' Oh … that was the girl you brought home!"

Woven or Brick Designs
Another great pattern is the "running bond" or brick pattern. Here, the first course starts with a full tile and the next row start with half a tile. This pattern looks best with rectangular tiles, but is often done with square tiles as well. Slightly more complex is the woven or herringbone pattern.
With hundreds of sizes, colors and materials to choose from, adding kitchen floor tile to your project can set your remodel above the average. Keep in mind that you can also combine some of these styles to create a totally unique look. If a rug pattern with a compass rose medallion in the center pleases you, go for it!

There is nothing like building a business with something that is given freely by nature, but Janet Andrews in Orange Park Acres and Kelly Yrarrazaval in Santa Ana are also giving back to the bee community.
The beekeeping partners at Backyard Bees rescue bees across the county and find them new homes.
"We keep up to 70 hives in the county," said Andrews, explaining that they keep bees in private gardens, at the Great Park in Irvine and on the rooftop of the Fairmont Hotel in Newport Beach.
Click here to watch a video about their backyard bee business.
Andrews started beekeeping 10 years ago when she found a hive in the roof of her home.
"I called an old-time beekeeper to rescue the bees, but when he pulled out these gorgeous honeycombs, I was hooked," Andrews said.
The beekeeper came back with a bee box and Andrews got her start. Yrarrazaval began in a similar way, with bees taking up residence in her fence.
"I didn't know what I wanted to do with them, but I knew I didn't want to kill them," Yrarrazaval said.
She called Andrews for help, and the two became beekeeping friends.
Seventy hives hold a lot of honey, so a business was born. It's a win-win for the bees and beekeepers.
"We rescue bees from unwanted places, relocate them into gorgeous gardens, then we harvest the honey and beeswax," Andrews said. "It helps support setting up more hives."
And while some make judgments about what kinds of bees are worth saving, Andrews says any bee that pollinates flowers and makes honey is worth keeping.
Africanized bees, for example, can be aggressive. But Andrews says all bees can get grumpy now and then. She has never encountered Africanized bees in Orange County and doesn't worry about them.
She's too busy making lotions and lip glosses that started as a hobby.
"You read all these books about bees, and they always have recipes in there," Andrews said. She started mixing a bit of this and that.

As many of you know, earlier this week, the ASPCA joined local authorities to remove more than 40 dogs, including Chihuahuas and blood hounds, from a large, substandard breeding facility—also referred to as a puppy mill—in Nancy, Kentucky. Many of the dogs have untreated medical conditions, and are being cared for by a team of veterinarians and responders at a temporary facility, set up by the ASPCA and the Kentucky Humane Society, in Louisville.
The dogs are safe now. With temperatures dropping rapidly across the country, it was just in time. These dogs will never again suffer in extreme cold without access to food or shelter. They'll never be stacked in tiny cages. And they'll never be forced to breed.
Right now, the ASPCA is providing shelter, veterinary care, healthy food and much-needed attention and affection to the rescued dogs. Our work is far from over.
Please take a moment to watch and share our video. You'll see some of the dogs we rescued, as well as the conditions these dogs were forced to endure.
Stay tuned to aspca.org/blog for more news to come. Follow the conversation on Twitter using hashtag #MillsBreedMisery. If now is a good time for you to give, please consider making a gift to the ASPCA.
Please prosecute the offenders to the max! Help get stricter laws passed, implemented and enforced for animal cruelty. The sick people, who are guilty, need a lesson that will be painful to their pocket books and conscious.
That is the whole problem. They are not being prosecuted. A slap on the hand a small fine. Then they keep on making money torturing these animals.
Lori, in an email I received from the ASPCA, it was stated the owner got a slap on the wrist i.e., probation, I believe the term was 6 months but I could be wrong on the length.
That's EXACTLY what needs to be done - tougher legislation. That this is even allowed on such a massive scale in our "civilized" country is one of our most uncivilized "sweep it under the rug" tragedies!
Many blessings to all who work to make animals' lives better. We are their only voice. ♥ So I am using my voice to post this repeatedly, until it somehow falls into the hands of someone who has the authority and the courage to help us put an end to puppy and kittens mills. PUPPY MILLS ARE GLUTTING THE SYSTEM
We will euthanize 10,000 pets today at our animal shelters and city Animal Care & Control facilities. We will euthanize 10,000 pets tomorrow too, and most every day. Unless our lawmakers enact regulations on the production of puppy and kitten mills, this pet overpopulation crisis is doomed to increase. This is costing our government millions of dollars, which are OUR TAX DOLLARS! And they are being spent to KILL PETS that the PUPPY MILLS ARE PRODUCING. What is wrong with this picture? The USDA has NEGLECTED to regulate this mill production, to the point that our country is about to explode with dead and suffering animals. Surely, our government must know that this has to stop! I will never understand how the USDA has any business having pets under the same regulations, (or the lack thereof), as poultry, slaughter hogs and beef cattle producers...WE DO NOT EAT DOGS AND CATS IN THIS COUNTRY, they are pets! Our government must stop allowing them to be mass produced like they were food animals! And the conditions that we accept as "USDA approved" for these animals to live in, consist of a lifetime of horrific neglect and deprivation! These pets don't even go to slaughter when they are old enough and fattened up. They live their entire lives in a cage, often left out in all kinds of weather, with little or no veterinary care. The female's' life is spent carrying, nursing, or grieving her lost babies, until she is bred yet again. Then about twice a year, the male shares her cage until mating is complete. Then he is returned to languish in his own fIlthy cage until it is time to breed again. This only ends for them when they die, or become "no longer good for breeding" I don't know what, if any regulation exists for their "disposal". But the numbers of dead and decaying animal carcasses that are strewn throughout the property of far too many of these mills, speak volumes. Unfortunately, the financial influence of the Agriculture business has managed to supersede the horrific conditions of the animals, the pet overpopulation crisis, even the glutting of our own systems! IF YOU SHOP AT A PET STORE THAT SELLS PETS, YOU ARE SUPPORTING THIS HORRIFIC CRUELTY!
WE THE PEOPLE, MUST RISE UP AND DEMAND THAT OUR GOVERNMENT ENACT LAWS TO END THIS INSANITY! I guarantee you, if the beef producers were churning out millions of pounds of beef in a year, and we only ate half of it, and the other half had to be "disposed of" at great expense to the government, you can bet the USDA would be slapping some major restrictions on beef production. So why don't they see that we are euthanizing over four million pets a year, and the puppy and kitten mills are "producing" a majority of them? IS OUR GOVERNMENT REALLY SO "OWNED" BY THE PUPPY MILL/AG INDUSTRY, THAT THEY BETRAY THEIR CONSTITUENTS, WASTE OUR TAX DOLLARS AND GLUT THEIR OWN SYSTEM? We must find a way to rid our world of this horrific business of abuse and neglect! OUR GOVERNMENT MUST TAKE ACTION TODAY!
Thank you for your informative and NEEDED message. I have been fostering dogs for the past 3 years and have seen the ravages of animals bred until their teeth are literally falling out. I picked up a matted little angel yesterday that will probably have to have more then 10 teeth extracted, surgery for cherry-eye and a coat that will need time and good nutrition to come back. YOUR MESSAGE NEEDS TO REACH EVERY VOTING MEMBER OF THIS COUNTRY AND AROUND THE GLOBE. WE ARE THEIR VOICE!
Yours is a very articulate piece that I hope you are forwarding to Congress & the H.R. Education is also key, starting with kids in elementary school on how to properly care for their animals. The money that is spent cleaning up this problem in all communities could be better spent on education if only people weren't so short-sighted. Well said!!!
Thank you for eloquently explaining how way behind the government is catching up on how puppy mills both exploit animals, and good people, as our tax dollars are being spent to kill pets that puppy mills and backyard breeders produce.
Please write a letter to the editors of the big newspapers, as it is very convincing. Thank you again
give me a break, the dogs in this video looked well cared for, fat and healthy. any dog would be scared of strangers grabbing them and hauling them off. before I continue, I am NOT a breeder, either private or commercial. I am 69 years old. I have bought my pets in the past 40 years from breeders, not breeders who show, but breeders that raise nice quality companion pets. I have never had a bad dog, health wise, or with a poor temperment.
dogs are disposed of???? honey, you DO NOT KNOW WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT!!! the dogs that are "disposed of" as you put it are the offspring of private families intact dogs, allowed to breed the neighbors dog, or whatever female he can find. the pounds are full of lab/collie, lab/shepherd, shepherd/collie, beagle/hound, hound/lab, etc., etc., etc., etc., etc.!! you will not find yorkies, toy poodles, shih tzu, maltese etc. at the humane society. unless an owner gave up the dog for a reason, then there is a waiting line for that dog. the dogs that are "disposed of" are the medium to large mix breed shedding dogs and of course pit bull. not everyone wants a large shedding mix, some like myself have allergies. the only dumb dog I ever owned was from a show home in virginia, the dog was weird, no other way to say it. never bought from ashow breeder again, to inbred. I have had shih tzu, bichon, and many small toy mix breeds over my lifetime, all non-shedding. always had two, so they would have company if I went out.
WE THE PEOPLE, MUST RISE UP AND DEMAND THAT OUR GOVERNMENT stay the hell out of our business. if you want to complain about something, try the fact that we are now going to send chickens to china for processing, then send them back here, won't that be interesting, wonder how many will become sick from those birds. by the way, when I was on the farm (horse farm) I had free roaming chickens, my rooster lived to 13 years old, bet you didn't know chickens live to 10-12 year average, if we didn't BUTCHER them.
"PUPPY MILLS ARE GLUTTING THE SYSTEM", ignorant statement, thank God for licensed commercial breeders, I could not of had a dog if I needed to depend on the humane society for a pet. as I said before, you will not find small breed dogs in any number at the humane society. perhaps you want a lab/ beagle mix, I DO NOT. there are to many irresponsible dog owner (especially the farmers) who will not spend a dime to nueter there animals, let them run and breed at will. the resulting large mix breed litters of 10 to 15 puppies end up in the pound.
the financial influence of the Agriculture business has managed to supersede the horrific conditions of the animals, the pet overpopulation crisis. they are worried you will start on there cows and pigs next, so they fight you. I think we should start on there pigs especially, pigs are more intelligent than dogs, cleaner than dogs, and they don't eat there own poop. but they are treated so cruely in this country, it makes the worst breeder seem like heaven in comparison. bet you do not give a crap as you stuff your face with bacon at breakfast.
just saying, carol

Jetty is a project at the Eclipse Foundation.
|Jetty Powered:
private support for your internal/customer projects ... custom extensions and distributions ... versioned snapshots for indefinite support ... scalability guidance for your apps and Ajax/Comet projects ... development services from 1 day to full product delivery
What is Jetty's classloading architecture?
Class loading in a web container is slightly more complex than a normal java application.
The normal configuration is for each web context (web application or war file) is given it's own classloader, which has the system classloader as it's parent. Such a classloader hierarchy is normal in Java, however the servlet specification complicates the hierarchy by requiring that:
- Classes contained within
WEB-INF/classeshave priority over classes on the parent class loader. This is the opposite of the normal behaviour of a java 2 class loader.
- System classes such as java.lang.String may not be replaced by classes in
WEB-INF/classes. Unfortunately the specification does not clearly state what classes are "System" classes and it is unclear if all javax classes should be treated as System classes.
- Server implementation classes should be hidden from the web application and should not be available in any class loader. Unfortunately the specification does not state what is a Server class and it is unclear if common libraries like the xerces parser should be treated as Implementation classes.
How to configure classloading
Jetty provides configuration options to control all three of these options. The method
org.mortbay.jetty.webapp.WebAppContext.setParentLoaderPriority(boolean) allows the normal java 2 behaviour to be used and all classes will be loaded from the system classpath if possible. This is very useful if the libraries that a web application uses are having problems loading classes that are both in a web application and on the system classpath.
The methods
org.mortbay.jetty.webapp.WebAppContext.setSystemClasses(String[]) and
org.mortbay.jetty.webapp.WebAppContext.setServerClasses(String[]) may be called to allow fine control over what classes can be seen or overridden by a web application.
- SystemClasses cannot be overridden by webapp context classloaders. The defaults are; {"java.","javax.servlet.","javax.xml.","org.mortbay.","org.xml.","org.w3c.", "org.apache.commons.logging.", "org.apache.log4j."}
- ServerClasses (on the container classpath) cannot be seen by webapp context classloaders but can be overridden by the webapp. The defaults are: { "-org.mortbay.naming.","-org.mortbay.util.","org.mortbay.", "org.slf4j."};
Absolute classname can be passed, names ending with . are treated as packages names and names starting with - are treated as negative matches and must be listed before any enclosing packages.
Adding extra classpaths to Jetty
At startup, the jetty runtime will automatically load all jars from the top level $jetty.home/lib, along with certain subdirectories such as $jetty.home/lib/management/, $jetty.home/lib/naming/ etc, which are named explicity in the start.config file contained in the start.jar. In addition, it will recursively load all jars from $jetty.home/lib/ext. So, to add extra jars to jetty, you can simply create a file hierarchy as deep as you wish within $jetty.home/lib/ext to contain these jars. Of course, you can always change this default behaviour by creating your own start.config file and using that instead. Otherwise, you can use one of the methods below.
Using jetty.class.path System property
If you want to add a couple of class directories or jars to jetty, but you can't put them in $jetty.home/lib/ext/ for some reason, or you don't want to create a custom start.config file, you can simply use the System property
-Djetty.class.path on the runline instead. Here's how it would look:
Using the extraClasspath() method on WebAppContext
If you need to add some jars or classes that for some reason are not in $jetty.home/lib nor inside your webapp's WEB-INF/lib or WEB-INF/classes, you can add them directly to your webapp:
Using a custom WebAppClassLoader
Finally, if none of the other alternatives already described meet your needs, you can always provide a custom classloader for your webapp. It is recommended, but not required, that your custom loader subclasses org.mortbay.jetty.webapp.WebAppClassLoader. You configure the classloader for the webapp like so:

At a Glance
Why Get Tested?
To evaluate your body's current level of iron
When to Get Tested?
When your doctor suspects that you may have too little or too much iron in your system
Sample Required?
A blood sample drawn from a vein in your arm
Test Preparation Needed?
Your doctor may request that you fast for 12 hours prior to some iron tests; in this case, only water is permitted.
The Test Sample
What is being tested?
Iron is an essential nutrient to maintain life. It is needed in small quantities to help form normal red blood cells (RBCs) and is a critical part of hemoglobin, the protein in RBCs that binds oxygen in the lungs and releases it as blood circulates to other parts of the body.
Iron tests are ordered to evaluate the amount of iron in the body by measuring several substances in the blood. These tests are often ordered at the same time, where together, the results are considered in establishing the diagnosis and/or monitoring iron deficiency or iron overload.
- Serum iron measures the level of iron in the liquid portion of the blood.
- TIBC (total iron-binding capacity) measures all of the proteins in the blood that are available to bind with iron, including transferrin.
- UIBC (unsaturated iron-binding capacity) measures the portion of transferrin that has not yet been saturated. UIBC also reflects transferrin levels.
- Transferrin saturation is a calculation that reflects the percentage of transferrin that is saturated with iron.
- Serum ferritin reflects the amount of stored iron in the body.
Low iron levels can lead to anemia, causing decreased production of RBCs that are microcytic and hypochromic. Conversely, large quantities of iron can be toxic to the body. This occurs when too much iron is absorbed over time, leading to the accumulation of iron compounds in tissues, particularly the liver, heart, and pancreas.
Iron is normally absorbed from food and transported throughout the body by binding to transferrin, a protein produced by the liver. About 70% of the iron transported is incorporated into the production of red blood cell hemoglobin. The remainder is stored in the tissues as ferritin or hemosiderin, with additional small amounts used to produce other proteins such as myoglobin and some enzymes.
Iron deficiency may be seen with insufficient intake, inadequate absorption, or increased nutrient requirements as seen during pregnancy or with acute or chronic blood loss. Acute iron overload may often occur with excess ingestion of iron tablets, especially in children. Chronic iron overload may be due to excessive iron intake, hereditary hemochromatosis, multiple blood transfusions, and a few other conditions.
How is the sample collected for testing?
A blood sample is drawn by needle from a vein in the arm.
NOTE: If undergoing medical tests makes you or someone you care for anxious, embarrassed, or even difficult to manage, you might consider reading one or more of the following articles: Coping with Test Pain, Discomfort, and Anxiety, Tips on Blood Testing, Tips to Help Children through Their Medical Tests, and Tips to Help the Elderly through Their Medical Tests.
Another article, Follow That Sample, provides a glimpse at the collection and processing of a blood sample and throat culture.
Is any test preparation needed to ensure the quality of the sample?
Fasting for 12 hours before sample collection may be required. In this case, only water is permitted.

Respectful Insolence
Tag archives for fresh cell therapy
Many are the forms of quackery to which autistic children are subjected to. It's amazing just how many dubious and dangerous treatments (dubbed "biomedical treatments" or "autism biomed") parents will try in an effort to "recover" their children. Perhaps the most shocking of this quackery that I've recently covered is something called "miracle mineral solution"…

Cupcakes are Olivia's favorite food, and they're sure to be your child's favorite, too. We've added a few of Olivia's features to make these red velvet cupcakes pretty in pink!
Watch Olivia weekdays @ 1:30 PM ET on Nick Jr.
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line 24 muffin cups with paper liners.
Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt in a medium bowl. Beat the butter and the sugar in another bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition until well blended.
Combine the buttermilk and the food coloring in a measuring cup. Add the flour mixture to the butter and egg mixture, alternating with the buttermilk, starting and ending with the flour mixture. Combine the vinegar and the baking soda in a small bowl and immediately stir into the batter until well blended.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups. Bake until golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 12 to 17 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack and cool completely.
Meanwhile, melt the pink candy melts in a medium bowl until smooth, about 45 seconds. Spoon into a resealable bag. Place the ears and nose template on a sheet pan topped with a piece of wax paper. Snip a very small corner from the bag with the melted chocolate. Pipe outlines of the ears and nose and fill in with more chocolate. Repeat to make 24 sets of ears and 24 noses. Reheat the chocolate if it becomes too thick. Place the chocolate pieces into the refrigerator until set, about 5 minutes.
Tint the vanilla frosting a light pink with the red food coloring. Remove 1/3 cup of the frosting and tint it a darker pink with the red food coloring. Spoon the darker pink frosting into a resealable bag. Spread the light pink frosting on top of the cupcakes and make smooth.
Peel the chocolate pieces from the wax paper and insert the ears into the sides of the cupcakes. Add the nose in the center. Snip a very small corner from the bag with the darker pink frosting and pipe outlines on the ears and the nose and pipe the mouth on top of the cupcakes. Pipe the chocolate frosting for the nostrils and the eyes.

added to your basket.
Golden Bamboo
Phyllostachys vivax f. aureocaulis, Golden Chinese Timber BambooWonderfully statuesque, the graceful stems of this Golden Bamboo will create a superb architectural focal point in your garden.

Heucherella 'Trailing Collection'
A cross between Heuchera and Tiarella, these trailing hardy perennials look fabulous billowing out of hanging baskets, window boxes and patio containers, where the broad-lobed, evergreen leaves provide all-year-round interest!

Vigorous and easy to grow, Heucherella 'Trailing Collection' also makes a fantastic groundcover plant for sun or part shade. Height: 25cm (10"). Spread: 60cm (24").

Lamium 'Mega Purple'
Dead-nettleCustomer Rating
The glistening silvery foliage of Lamium 'Mega Purple' contrasts beautifully its mauve, open mouthed blooms.

Sarracenia species 'New Hybrids Mixed'
Pitcher PlantSeemingly innocent, the leaves of the pitcher plant have evolved into water-filled funnels that hide a sinister purpose. These intriguing carnivorous plants devour insects to improve their diet and counter poor nitrogen levels in the soils of their natural habitats. Lured by the promise of sweet nectar-like secretions on the lip of each pitcher, their victims are met by a slippery footing and tumble to a watery death deep within each funnel. Endlessly fascinating, Sarracenia species 'New Hybrids Mixed' make a captivating talking point for the greenhouse, conservatory or a windowsill indoors. Plants will be mature enough to catch insects after 2 - 3 years. Height: 30cm (12"). Spread: 20cm (8"). More info

Issue positions
On his official campaign site Kerkman lists her views on a number of issues, including:[2]
- Building Wisconsin's Economy – "We need to continue to grow our economy and help businesses have the opportunity to create jobs. I supported legislation to give local governments the tools they need to attract and retain companies in Wisconsin."
- Seniors – "I voted for legislation that would eliminate taxes on pension income making it more affordable to stay in Wisconsin."
- Education – "I have made it my mission to visit the great schools in my district over the past eight years. This has given me the knowledge to fight to continue our commitment for funding K-12 education at a record level of $12.3 billion over the next two years."
- Health Care – "I believe access to affordable health care is critical to the residents of Wisconsin. I've worked to ensure that eligibility and benefits for Medical Assistance, Badger-Care and SeniorCare are protected."
- Taxes – "I continue to work to hold the line on tax increases. I supported the continuation of the property tax freeze on local governments. Levy increases are limited to 3.86% or net new growth."
Kerkman did not provide answers to the 2008 Political Courage Test. The test provides voters with how a candidate would vote on the issues if elected.[3]

I recently ask my friend Patrick, a pro-life activist who is also an atheist to write a commentary about why he is pro-life. I think sometimes Christians might not understand that many non-religious people hold the pro-life position and hold it passionately.
I thought this would be a great way for people who hold these views as part of their faith to understand why someone without a faith would hold the same views.
I have included a link to Patrick's blog and I expect everyone who decides to comment or talk to him to do so with the upmost love and respect. The courage it takes for Patrick to be an active pro-lifer is way more than most Christians can understand.


text: Although outboard engines and PWCs may come to mind first when one hears the name Yamaha, this company also has a boat-building division that's dedicated to one thing: building jet-powered runabouts. In fact, Yamaha is the best-selling brand of jet-boat in the country. A dozen boats up to 24' make up the Yamaha line, with a mix of runabout and watersports-oriented models. At the 2013 Miami International Boat Show Yamaha won an NMMA Innovation Award for the development of their Thrust Directional Enhancement feature, which improves control at slow speeds; used boat buyers should be aware that in some older jet boat models wandering at slow speeds was regularly an issue, which this new feature addresses. And although these are jet boats, Yamaha encourages boaters to compare them against prop-driven runabouts. Reduced draft and the elimination of propeller dangers are the most obvious advantages, but in many cases, the Yamaha jet boats are also less expensive than comparable propeller-drive runabouts.

She won't quit until Afro is schooled in the brutal lessons he dealt those who stood in his way.
