CINCINNATI – Peter Stefanski's career day headlined an impressive performance by the Miami men's track and field team at the All-Ohio Championships on Saturday.
The sophomore tied a career-high by clearing 6-11 1/2 to win the high jump, one of nine top-three finishes by the RedHawks on the final day of the meet. That mark is the top height in the Mid-American Conference. Miami finished third in the team standings with 129.5 points, trailing only Akron (205) and Cincinnati (138).
Over on the track, Jahquil Hargrove notched a pair of top-three finishes. The senior crossed the line second in the 400m (46.96) and third in the 200m (21.66) to put up 14 combined points. Hargrove also teamed with Adam Bodrick, Robert Balzano and Skyler Coburn in the 4x400m, which placed third with a time of 3:12.06, adding six more points to Miami's total.
Coburn himself also fared well in the 400m hurdles, taking second with a time of 52.88. Coburn was one of three RedHawks to score in that event, joining freshmen Vinnie Minosky (fifth; 54.49) and Tyler Gittens (sixth; 54.70).
Another strong event on the track was the 800m, which saw Wade Coffin finish second with a time of 1:51.87. Kevin Brown (third; 1:52.27) and Joey Comisford (fifth; 1:54.16) also tacked on points for the Red and White in the event.
"Peter had a great day with a jump that should get him to the NCAA preliminary meet," Miami head coach Warren Mandrell said. "Hargrove's 400m would have qualified for the first round last year and the 4x400 team ran the seventh-fastest time in school history. We had some good things happen for us today. We were competitive across the board. Wade Coffin had a nice PR on the 800 with a good time."
Also scoring on the track on Saturday were Andrew Dusing in the 1500m (sixth; 3:53.92), Dave Wing (fourth; 14:55.13) and Joe Stewart (seventh; 15:20.26) in the 5000m along with Sam Chester in the 100m hurdles (fourth; 14.70).
While Stefanski's performance topped the field competitors, the RedHawks also got points from Matt Gambill with his sixth-place finish in the high jump (6-4 1/4). Sam Spallinger (fourth; 23-0 1/2) and Calen Settles (seventh; 21-8 1/4) put up solid performances in the long jump with Settles also scoring in the triple jump (sixth; 42-2 1/4). After taking fourth in the hammer throw on Friday, Rob Stein placed third in the shot put (55-1 1/2) and seventh in the discus (161-4). Tyler Yee rounded out the scoring with his third-place finish in the javelin (175-7).
The RedHawks are back in action next weekend when they head to the Bluegrass Classic in Lexington, Ky. The meet begins on Friday.

You can pretty much just blow all cds on the first add, second add should die easily with higher stacks. Then 3rd onwards you can blow the add up in melee instantly with the help from your other tank. You never need to reset stacks, you can let the dpsers get the first charge on pull You can be full parry gemmed, i dont really see point in mastery/crit. Full crit makes you too squishy to make up for the +5% ish up in damage.
Prot warrior is so OP in siege adds that you shouldnt have problems if you execute it right. A common mistake i see is the addkiller standing ready for the add, then taunting it and trying to kill it.. I just tell them to stop tanking alltogether if theyre so daft trying to kill the add with zero vengeance
This is 25man, dont know if the add is harder or easier on 10man.

........Good morning!
Good morning, guys. Both are going to be busy days for me today and tomorrow, it is warming up here too -- up to 40F (+4C) -- and we are expecting some freezing rain/ice pellets (more dangerous to walk, you know) and then back to our normal cold on Wednesday.
Fragonard Miranda today.
The carnation peppery, incense-y warmth of Coup de Fouet for me on a cold morning, although warming up already. We have 10+ degrees forecast for next week. Not that I mind, but it's a month too early I fear...
Morning everyone!
I'm still thinking.....
Morning all!
After another night of rain, we now have bright sunshine for the second day in a row; l can't remember the last time that happened. Time to break out the Diorissimo! (vintage EDC)
Rooting for Andy Murray in the Australian Open final right now. l might not get much done today...

So glad all that big freeze has gone now and
I can open windows and let the air in.
My SOTD is Noa by Cacharel. A very easy-to-wear,

Congrats to Larimar! It's cold and raining here in Nebraska and may ice over later if it gets colder, I sure hope not. Happy Sunday to all. I'm going to wear, ummm, let's see, Mitsouko today, after major beauty treatment applications (coloring my hair, foot care, nails, brows, the works).
Hi all,
Congratulations on the big 4000, Larimar ! Love reading each and every one of your posts.
Poor ol Murray lost, but Djokovic was clearly the better man on the night.
I've been wearing Sycomore today.
Good luck tomorrow, Lucas!
Best to everyone.

Hello all. Huitieme Art Ambre Ceruleen
Have I told you about the scent of jasmine? Have I spoken about the smell of the sea? The earth is scented. And I perfume myself to enhance what I am. That's why I can not wear a perfume that bothers me. Perfuming is an instinctive wisdom. And like all art, it requires some knowledge of yourself..."
Clarice Lispector ( 1920-1977) - Perfumes da Terra / Earth Perfumes
I'm sampling my new Maja edt. Rubegon posted it on the freebie thread and I claimed it. It's so pleasant! A light, floral, spicy, soapy, fougere that warms on the skin and has decent longevity for one little spray. I don't know the old Maja so I have no complaint whatsoever about this one, except that I now want the black paper wrapped round soaps and the paper box of powder, too. We're going to see an exhibit at the museum by a glass artist named Chihuly. I'm really looking forward to it.
Congratulations, Larimar!
I really need to explore more of the Huitieme Art line. I have small samples somewhere. Fell madly in love with Fareb and just used my last few drops.

Hey, drinking buddies, Jon, Larimar, yesterday our daughter gave us a 12-year-old bottle of Glenfiddich single-malt scotch. I guess she tuned in to my occasional remark about my needing to better explore the joys of alcohol. She did a little research and fumbled through the liquor store in order to come up with this surprise for our 34 wedding anniversary yesterday. Will open it later today and toast L's 4,000 posts.
Hi all! It's HOT here today!

SotA - Apuldre by Molton Brown (from a sample)
Firstly, to Twolf - I wasn't on forum yesterday, just saw your most kind offer of samples, appreciate it very much. It's so very sweet of you... put a smile in my day. I have new address, and will pm it. Thanks.
Today I'm wearing the last of a sample of Arabian Oud Black Musk Essence oil. Perfumed Court called it rich, skanky and awesome. I'm here to tell you that description doesn't cover it.
It's thick, black and tarry. Words like raw, big and raunchy are often used to describe ones like this. But there's another reality behind this one. Its primal power reminds me of something very specific. I used to race sled dogs, and the myth about wolf cross dogs looking up to and needing an alpha leader is true. As the dog musher you have to be that for them, or you won't be able to get the type of respect which will make them willing to go the extra mile for you when you ask it of them. The Jack London stories and Robert Service poems are overstating it a bit (or a lot ), but that is a factor nonetheless.
Black Musk Essence is the type of fragrance that would elicit that respect from them - large, primal, powerful, exuding not just authority but that particular visceral authority that doesn't involve words, only smell. This is the smell of an alpha presence. Perhaps this has pheromones in it, but it isn't a sexual one per se, encompassing also primal authority. I didn't find it skanky, though I don't find cumin skanky either, so I might not be a good determiner of that.
I wish I'd had this when I was a teen-age girl trying to get my lead dog to see things my way, that he really needed to ford the overflow instead of balking. If I'd been wearing this fragrance, when I went up and grabbed his harness to lead him through, he would have just melted in submission.
Quarry - very happy anniversary to you!

RHM, the Chihuly exhibit was so lovely! I watched a tv special about his work a couple of weeks ago, and I thought his work was so interesting. I wish they'd done the exhibit here in our botanical gardens, although it would have been too chilly, maybe, but would have made better sense for all of the aquatic looking things. There was one room with a huge installation done just for this exhibit that was breathtaking!
Quarry, Happy Anniversary to you and Mr. Q.!! <3
I'm testing Oliver Durbano Heliotrope from a sample ... adore it! It went straight to the lust list ...
Notes: Elemi incense, oliban, ginger, red mandarin, angelica, red pepper, saffron, magnolia, nagarmotha, heliotrope, myrrh, cedar wood, sandalwood, musk, ambergris, benzoin
lilybelle, the art museum here in Wichita has two Chihuly works ... gorgeous! I like it too.
Happy anniversary mr and mrs Q!

Cache River Wetlands Center

Cypress, IL 62923
Open: Wed - Sun; 9AM - 4PM. Closed Mon/Tues
When storms pushed Norseman Lief Ericsson westward to the North American continent 1,000 years ago, many of the cypress trees of today's Cache River State Natural Area were just saplings. By the time Christopher Columbus landed in the Western Hemisphere 500 years later, they had grown into ancient trees that towered above even more ancient blackwater swamps.
Cache River State Natural Area is situated in southernmost Illinois within a floodplain carved long ago by glacial floodwater of the Ohio River. When the Ohio River adopted its present course, it left the Cache River to meander across rich and vast wetlands. Among the outstanding natural features found within the area today are massive cypress trees whose flared bases, called buttresses, exceed 40 feet circumference. Many are more than 1,000 years old, including one that has earned the title of state champion bald cypress because of its huge trunk girth, towering height and heavily branched canopy.
Despite intensive efforts to convert land along the Cache River to cropland, the land that today makes up the Cache River State Natural Area has managed to hold onto some of the highest quality aquatic and terrestrial natural communities remaining in Illinois. Wetlands within this area are so important to migratory waterfowl and shorebirds that in 1996 the RAMSAR Convention collectively designated them a Wetland of International Importance, only the 19th wetland in the United States to receive the distinction.
It is within southern Illinois that north meets south and east meets west. With its diversity of soils, bedrock and landforms, the Cache River Valley contains four distinct ecological regions. Its hodgepodge of ecological factors has resulted in a collage of natural communities, each with its own unique assemblage of physical attributes, plants and animals.
Not surprisingly, people have rallied to protect the Cache River watershed. The National Park Service has designated two National Natural Landmarks within its borders - Bottomland Swamp and Heron Pond. The Illinois Department of Natural Resources has identified three Nature Preserves here - Section 8 Woods, Heron Pond-Wildcat Bluff and Little Black Slough - and registered 10,367 acres of the area's 14,791 acres in the Land and Water Reserve Program. These designations assure that the site management will emphasize restoration and preservation of the area's natural characteristics.
Totaling 14,791 acres in Johnson, Massac and Pulaski counties, Cache River State Natural Area is composed of three distinct management units - Little Black Slough, Lower Cache River Swamps and Glass Hill.
The Little Black Slough Unit surrounds the Upper Cache River north of the West Eden Road. Nestled deep within the shadowy bottomland forests of this unit lies Heron Pond, a shallow wetland dominated by cypress and tupelo trees. A boardwalk winds its way into the secluded depths of this forested swamp, providing visitors a chance to step back in time and observe wetland and aquatic ecosystems that have remained relatively undisturbed for thousands of years. During the growing season, massive gray-brown cypress trunks arise from a floating carpet of brilliant emerald duckweed. These living pillars of wood extend high over the swamp before disappearing into a shadow-filled canopy. Here, seldom-seen but often-heard bird-voiced tree frogs haunt the leafy branches of tall cypress trees, their melodious calls considered by many to be the most beautiful of all the frog voices. Above and below the waters surface, birds, mammals, reptiles, amphibians and insects interact in a symphony of survival.
Overlooking the swamps are the low ridges of the Lesser Shawnee Hills. At the base of these hills, bottomland hardwood forests dominated by overcup oak, pin oak, cherrybark oak and sweetgum give way to red oak, white oak and shagbark hickory. Barrens occur on the highest ridge tops where soils are thin and bedrock is exposed. These sites are dominated by small post oak and blackjack oak trees scattered about open expanses of land dominated by grasses and forbs more commonly encountered on dry prairies.
South of the West Eden Road, the Lower Cache River Swamps spread across a broad, flat floodplain between the towns of Karnak and Ullin. The swamps are a mosaic of permanent, deep, open water interrupted here and there by thick-buttressed cypress trees that were old hundreds of years ago. Younger, even-aged stands of cypress and tupelo trees and thickets of buttonbush occur in areas of shallow water. Visitors can experience this lost world while paddling a canoe through 6 miles of trails that meander through rivers, swamps and ponds in a portion of the Lower Cache River known as Buttomland Swamp.
The Glass Hill Management Unit
occurs about 3 miles north of Bottomland Swamp near the town of Cypress. An outstanding example of a rare landform called a sandstone knob occurs on this site. All around and on top of this inaccessible knob is relatively undisturbed upland forest dominated by chinquapin oak, red oak, white oak, shagbark hickory and pignut hickory.
The wild places found in Cache River State Natural Area provides food, cover and water for an incredible diversity of plant and animal species, more than 100 of which have been listed as endangered or threatened by the State of Illinois.
If swamps are the Cache Rivers signature natural community, then birds are its signature species. Observant birders can expect to see bald eagles, red-tailed hawks, great horned owls, barred owls, great blue herons, great egrets, little blue herons, green herons, least bitterns, wood ducks, mallards, snow geese, sora rails, woodcock, quail, mourning doves, red-headed woodpeckers, pileated woodpeckers, prothonotary warblers, black vultures and turkey vultures. Seasonal migrations bring multitudes of waterfowl and shorebirds to the area, as well as the occasional osprey, golden eagle and black tern.
Mammals often encountered include white-tailed deer, squirrels, raccoons, beavers, gray foxes, red foxes, opossums, skunks and mink. Lucky visitors might catch a glimpse of river otters, bobcats or tiny Indiana bats.
Bird-voiced tree frogs, southern leopard frogs, spring peepers, western chorus frogs, bullfrogs and American toads are among the more vocal of the areas amphibian inhabitants. Other well-known residents of Cache environs are the cottonmouth, copperhead and timber rattlesnake. While the bite from these venomous species is dangerous, as long as visitors are both cautious and observant, they have little to fear from these reclusive, non-aggressive creatures.
Swimming under or on the tea-colored waters of the Cache are numerous fish, amphibians and reptiles. Channel catfish, crappie, bass and bluegill are prized by area fishermen. Less sought after but true swamp fish include the bowfin, needlenose gar, grass pickerel and yellow bullhead catfish. Pygmy sunfish and cypress minnows are two state-endangered fish found only in wetlands dominated by forested swamps.
Barkhausen-Cache River Wetlands Center | Wetlands Center Fact Sheet
The Wetlands Center was completed in November 2004 and is a high-quality destination point that fosters natural resources appreciation and education, while interpreting the unique natural and cultural history of the Cache River Wetlands. Located south of Whitehill on Illinois Route 37, the center is named for Henry N. Barkhausen, who served as Director for the Illinois Department of Conservation from 1970-73, and for 18 years served as Secretary of the Citizens Committee to Save the Cache River. He worked to encourage government agencies, organizations and residents to protect and restore the natural character of the Cache Wetlands. The Wetlands Center hours and days of operation are Wednesday thru Sunday, 9 a.m. - 4 p.m.
Canoe Trail | Canoe Fact Sheet | Canoe Trail Map | Cache Canoe Trail Video
The Lower Cache River Trail offers paddlers a quality canoe experience, 3 to 6 miles in length, through magnificent cypress-tupelo swamp. The highlight of the trail is Illinois largest, and therefore state champion, bald cypress tree. Like many trees within the Cache River State Natural Area, it is more than 1,000 years old.
Canoeists can begin at the Lower Cache River access area or at a private boat launch ($1 fee) south of Perks. Car shuttles are not necessary. The trail is marked with international canoe symbols and arrows and/or yellow stripes on trees. Canoe maps and fact sheets are available at the site headquarters or wetlands center.
While canoeing the Lower Cache is enjoyable, paddlers should be aware that the Upper Cache River is difficult if not impossible to canoe. Severe bank erosion, which is responsible for trees tipping over and creating log jams, makes canoe portages very frequent.
Bike Trail
The Tunnel Hill State bicycle trail travels through 8 miles of the Cache River State Natural Area terminating at the Henry Barkhausen-Cache River Wetlands/Visitor Center, 2 1/2 miles east of Karnak, Illinois near Rago and IL Rt 37.
From the bicycle trail you can access the hiking trail heads of Heron Pond and Big Cypress access, where you can view a cypress-tupelo swamp and see 1,000 year old trees. At the Barkhausen Wetlands Center, visitors can tour the interpretative exhibits and watch a 12 minute audio visual film on the Cache River wetlands.
Hiking Trails | Hiking Fact Sheet
| Hiking Trails Map
More than 18 miles of designated foot trails exists within Cache River State Natural Area. Other than Little Black Slough Trail and Tupelo Trail which are considered moderate in difficulty, the trails are easy to walk. A 5-mile segment of the 45-mile-long Tunnel Hill State Trail passes through the region, providing expanded opportunities for hikers and cyclists. Paralleling the Karnak-Belknap Road on its northern side, the Tunnel Hill Trail links Little Black Slough, the Lower Cache unit and the Henry N. Barkhausen Cache River Wetlands Center. Trail length is based on round trip distances.

Past and Present
The areas natural resources have always been important to people living in the Cache River valley. Native Americans found the region rich in wildlife and relied on their expertise in fishing, hunting and trapping for food, hides and furs. The first European settlers arrived in 1803, and, finding the soil too wet to farm, concentrated their efforts on timber harvesting. By 1870, several saw mills were processing timber for lumber, railroads ties, boxes and charcoal. Large-scale drainage and land-clearing efforts began in the early 1900s, eventually bringing thousands of acres of bottomland under cultivation. The State of Illinois acquired the first parcel of Cache River State Natural Area in 1970, following cooperation among private, governmental and commercial groups to conserve this unique natural resource.
Today, a cooperative effort called the Cache River Wetlands Joint Venture Partnership is working to protect and restore a 60,000-acre wetland corridor along 50 miles of the Cache River. Partners include the Illinois Department of Natural Resources, Cypress Creek National Wildlife Refuge, The Nature Conservancy, Natural Resource Conservation Service and Ducks Unlimited, with support from the Citizens Committee to Save the Cache River and Friends of Cache River. The focus is to repair natural ecosystems and provide hunting, fishing, hiking, canoeing and other recreational opportunities, which will promote economic development and tourism.
Scientific and educational use of the area is allowed by permit, issued by the Department of Natural Resources. For information about the permit, hunting and fishing regulations or the site in general, contact Cache River State Natural Area, 930 Sunflower Lane, Belknap, IL 62908, or phone (618) 634-9678, or the Henry Barkhausen Cache River Wetlands Center, 8885 State Route 37 South, Cypress, IL 62923, phone (618) 657-2064.

We partner with the people of the Middle East to build a peaceful and prosperous future. Our programs have directly contributed to improvements in infrastructure, health, education, governance, and economic growth.
Today, we see in the Middle East a region of great hope and opportunity but also one facing daunting challenges, including:
Youth bulge: nearly two-thirds of the population is under age 30
Unemployment: highest rate of youth unemployment in the world, with 24 percent of young people out of work
Gender equality: just 26 percent of women in the Middle East participate in the workforce, compared with 54 percent elsewhere
USAID offers tools that can help the people of the Middle East meet some of these challenges, develop opportunities, and increase the ability for all to participate more fully in the political and economic life of their societies.
USAID's assistance not only delivers on America's values; it constitutes an investment in the safety, security, and prosperity of this critically important region. USAID's development experience allows us to address the parallel needs that fueled the Arab Spring: people's desire to seek new opportunities, to participate in decisions that affect their lives, and to work in economies and be part of societies that are free of corruption.
In Tunisia, Libya, Egypt and Yemen, we are seizing the new openings available to partner with these countries. USAID is helping to strengthen governmental institutions to ensure that they can address economic grievances and provide for the legitimate needs of their citizens. USAID also is embracing new and varied local partners in civil society and the private sector. For example, in Egypt since the revolution, 40 percent of USAID grant recipients are new partners for USAID.
USAID's priorities in the Middle East are to:
Enhance participatory democracy and improve transparency and accountability
Expand inclusive economic growth
Engage civil society, youth, and women
Increase employment and education opportunities to give youth job skills and roles in society
Support a comprehensive peace in the Middle East
Advance U.S. initiatives related to Global Health, Feed the Future, and Global Climate Change
Legacy of support: We played a historic role in the Middle East, helping eradicate malaria in Jordan and playing a key role in the restoration and reopening the Suez Canal in Egypt.
Building peace: A USAID-supported women's group reached 23,000 Libyans with an outreach campaign that promoted reconciliation and unity.
Enhancing opportunities: The United States has funded the construction and rehabilitation of schools and health clinics over the past year for Palestinians in an area of critical need in the West Bank, where U.S. efforts were possible only with the cooperation of Israeli and Palestinian officials, working together.
Supporting democracy: In Yemen, USAID trained journalists, men and women, in interpreting government policy and crafting articles that effectively explain how policies impact targeted audiences, thus enhancing the role of media in good governance and promotion of civic participation.
Investing in youth: USAID's higher education scholarship program in Lebanon provides full, four-year scholarships to meritorious, economically disadvantaged Lebanese public school graduates to study at top Lebanese universities.

Maties clinched their second Varsity Cup title with a 11-6 win over Pukke in a scrappy final in Stellenbosch.
The defending champions struggled to get going in the first half, but some smart work at the breakdown and solid defence in the second stanza saw Chean Roux's men hang on to claim their second title in two years.
The game was far from the showpiece the 18 000 strong at the Danie Craven Stadium had hoped for, but in the end the Maties fans were the ones singing after 80 minutes.
In a tight and disjointed first half it was Pukke who got off to a good start and took the lead in only the second minute through a Cecil Dumond penalty. The visitors were playing some good percentage rugby albeit without much penetration.
It was only a matter of time until the hosts found their rhythm and after a good period of sustained pressure, Maties launched an attack from a scrum deep in Pukke's half. The ball went quickly through the hands before reaching Morné Jooste out on the wing who stumbled before finishing in the corner for the only try of the game.
While Pukke looked good at lineout time, it was at the breakdown where their hard work was undone as the Maties' forwards dominated the tackle point.
The difference between the two sides was the speed at which Stellenbosch were able to attack, which was down to the efficient work of their loose trio and the crisp distribution of scrumhalf Donald Stevens.
Pukke were still enjoying the bulk of the possession but had little to show for it as Maties' defence stood strong. With time running out in the half a good kick and chase led to an attacking scrum for Pukke deep in Maties territory.
From the scrum the visitors managed to set up an overlap on the left, but fullback Willem Barnard butchered the chance to give his side the lead and Maties went into the break with a slim advantage.
The game started to open up in the second half, but as the ball was given more air, the error count began to mount on both sides and Pukke finally regained the lead through the boot of Dumond in the 49th minute.
Stellenbosch edged in front again through a cheeky drop goal from flyhalf Johan Sadie. The score seemed to reinvigorate the defending champions and they extended their lead just three minutes later through a Stevens penalty.
Maties' forwards were beginning to stamp their authority on the game, but in most instances their hard work was undone by some sloppy handling.
With less then 10 minutes left in the game Pukke threw everything they had left at the hosts, but Roux's men were up to the challenge as they kept the visitors at bay to hold on for the win.
In the curtain-raiser Armentum of Shimlas beat Dromedaris of the University of Johannesburg 30-16 in the Koshuis final.

Me and my significant other have been together for almost 4 years.
We both are against Religion and denounce the existence of some divine plan. However, his family is of a jewish background.
He recently took a college course at georgetown, focusing on religious history.
He's starting to really enjoy reading the Torah, and joined a 'cultural' jewish movement group at his college that hosts luncheons preaching about jewish history and its importance ect.
And he's also stated that he really likes his jewish background and wants to participate.
We've had arguments over how outrageously stupid I think this is, and I told him he is dumbing himself down.
He responds by saying "What is wrong with Judaism? Judaism has always been the religion that has been targeted of violence not creating it. What is wrong with wanting to be involved with the Culture? So what if I want to do yakimpoor, shabbat, passover ect.? Religion, especially Judaism, isn't as bad as some people make it out to be".
I've never been a debater, and I'm not well versed in the torah either. But what I do know, is that I despise religion greatly, because of so many reasons that you guys probably know better than me.
What types of arguments can I present to him? Any scenario's showing how Judaism is no different then any other religion? Any verbal ammunition to be able to debate with him and possibly convince him would be much help.
EDIT: I know this isn't a relationship counseling forum, mainly just looking for good arguments and points.

Video: House committee fires first shot in IT reform revolution
Tuesday - 1/22/2013, 11:10am EST
The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee is kicking off its effort to cut billions of dollars in information technology spending with a full-committee hearing later today.
"Information technology is at the heart of every federal agency or program's ability to function successfully," said Committee Chairman Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif), in a release. "We've built an IT infrastructure that is bloated, inefficient and actually makes it more difficult for the government to serve its citizens."
According to an OGR spokesman, government IT spending has increased from $46 billion in 2001 to $80 billion in 2012, with an estimated $20 billion in taxpayer money being wasted annually to program failures and cost overruns.
"Federal #IT spending decisions are often not based on performance results: managers say 47% goes to maintain obsolete/deficient IT resources," said Issa, in a Twitter post this morning.
Issa posted a discussion draft of the IT reform legislation online.
As a lead-up to today's hearing, the committee released a video [see below] entitled "Why Federal Government Needs an IT Revolution."
The video uses back office support systems as an example of one area where waste and duplication can be targeted to cut costs.
"In their fiscal year 2011 submissions, agencies reported 622 separate investments totaling $2.4 billion in human resource management systems and 580 investments totaling $2.7 billion in financial management systems," the OGR spokesman said.
Federal News Radio Executive Editor Jason Miller will be covering today's hearing. Check back later for his report.

Mononucleosis is an infectious disease that is associated with fever, fatigue, and swollen lymph glands.
Mononucleosis is caused by the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). Found mainly in saliva and mucus, EBV is passed from person to person by intimate behavior, such as kissing.
Risk Factors
Many people get EBV during their lifetime. Factors that increase the likelihood that EBV will develop into mononucleosis include:
- Contracting EBV after age 10
- Lowered immune resistance due to other illness, stress, or fatigue
- Living in close quarters with a large number of people, such as in a college dormitory
One episode of mononucleosis usually produces permanent immunity.
Signs of mononucleosis usually begin 4-7 weeks after you were exposed to the virus. The initial symptoms may be a sense of general weakness that lasts about one week. This is followed by symptoms that may include:
- High fever
- Severe sore throat/swollen tonsils
- Swelling of the lymph nodes
- Fatigue
- Loss of appetite
- Muscle aches
- Enlargement of the spleen or liver
- Mild jaundice
Your doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. Diagnosis is based on:
- Symptoms, which can differ according to age; young children may be difficult to diagnose
Four primary symptoms:
- Fever
- Swollen lymph nodes
- Sore throat
- Fatigue
Two primary tests:
- Blood tests and mono spot tests
- Throat culture—to check for strep throat , which can resemble mononucleosis and also complicate mononucleosis
There is no treatment to cure mononucleosis or to shorten the length of the illness. It usually runs its course in 4-6 weeks, although the fatigue may last longer.
During the first few weeks after diagnosis, you should avoid contact sports. Inflammation of the spleen from mononucleosis puts you at high risk of splenic rupture. This can require surgery. In rare cases, it can be fatal.
Treatment includes:
Relief of Symptoms
Symptoms can be eased by:
- Taking nonprescription pain relievers to lessen aches and pains and control fever
- Note : Aspirin is not recommended for children with a current or recent viral infection. Check with your doctor before giving your child aspirin.
- Gargling with warm, salty water to relieve sore throat
Steroids are sometimes used if the swelling in the throat is interfering with breathing. They can also be used if a complication involving low platelet counts or anemia occurs.
Follow these comfort measures:
- Get plenty of rest and fluids
- Do not lift anything heavy or exercise for at least several weeks after recovery to decrease the risk of rupturing an enlarged spleen
- Avoid contact or collision sports while you have symptoms or an enlarged spleen
Most people contract the EBV virus sometime during their lives. Prevention is geared toward decreasing the likelihood that EBV will develop into mononucleosis. This can be done by:
- Avoiding intimate contact, especially kissing, with anyone who has active mononucleosis
- Eating a healthful diet
- Avoiding excess stress
- Getting enough rest

Umberto Robina is a character in Grand Theft Auto series who appears as a main character in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories. Umberto is the leader of the Cubans gang in both Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories.
Early Life
Umberto was born in Cuba to Alberto Robina. At some point in his life, Umberto became the leader of\founded the Los Cabrones (later will be known as "the Cubans"), and later moved to Vice City, Florida, United States.
In 1984, as the leader of Cubans (Also known as Los Cabrones), he sends Victor Vance on missions to wipe out his most hated gang, The Cholos, which replaced the controversial Haitians in Vice City (The Haitians were removed from the game due to public backlash). Like his appearance in Vice City, Umberto is obsessed about how much "cojones" (referring to both the courage and the actual testicle size) his comrades usually have. Victor saves Umberto's father, Alberto Robina, from the Cholos in one of Robina's missions. Umberto, along with Phil Cassidy and two Cuban men, help Lance and Vic defend their businesses from assaults by the Mendez Brothers' henchmen in one of the last missions of the game. It is the only time that Umberto actually does "dirty work".
In Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, Umberto Robina is still the leader of the Cubans in Vice City two years later, who has been involved in a long-term Vice City turf war with Haitians. He is an extremely macho man who wants to wage full scale war with the Haitians, however, he has never been personally implicated in a crime and his bravery has been questioned within Cuban circles. He is good friends with Tommy Vercetti and treats him as an equal. His quote on it: "Tommy, to us, you're Cuban". It is unknown what happens to Umberto in the end, but it is likely that the Cubans are allied with the Vercetti Gang because of Tommy's work for Umberto.

The application of information technology to healthcare promises significant benefits, particularly with regard to innovations in improving both clinical and administrative processes. However, to date, few studies have been devoted to understanding the process of implementing a hospital's clinical and business systems and the drivers of success. In this article, we describe a major HIT implementation undertaken by The Christ Hospital (TCH). Specifically, we report on TCH's efforts to separate from a well-established, multi-facility healthcare delivery network and move toward providing world-class patient care on its own. Here, we examine how different stakeholder perspectives, rather than causing conflict, were capitalized on via a collaboration-intensive process. These stakeholders included administrators, physicians, nurses, and other hospital staff, as well as external vendors and TCH's consulting partner. This project is unique due to the speed and spirit of collaboration with which it was accomplished. Our findings have a number of generalizable lessons for practice and implications for research.

MARK KEOHANE, in his weekly Business Day newspaper column, says Richie McCaw has earned the right to lift the Webb Ellis Cup.
McCaw was asked, 48 hours before the World Cup semi-final against Australia, who the better player was: 'David Pocock or yourself?'
McCaw said: 'We'll see after 80 minutes on Sunday.'
There was no sarcasm in his answer. It was the confirmation of the challenge of a (younger) player who has been the form opensider of the World Cup tournament.
Pocock was immense against SA, legally or illegally.
All brilliant opensiders operate on the fine line of public opinion and referee interpretation. McCaw has been the master for the last decade. Australia's George Smith was brilliant and, if his knees last, Heinrich Brüssow will make a similar impression.
Former Bok captain Corne Krige was often quoted as saying the Test played within a Test between two specialist opensiders is far removed from anything the public sees on TV or at the ground. McCaw versus Pocock was huge. This was the grand master against the next generation of specialist ball-winning scavenger. At least it was sold as such in the week.
But that would be too simple.
As All Blacks coach Graham Henry pointed out: an opensider will always be the beneficiary of how good the loose trio is and also the dominance of his tight five. In this regard it wasn't McCaw versus Pocock, it was the All Blacks versus the Wallabies and the result was more emphatic than a handbag grab-and-run. This was a full-on assault; a legal beating in which the All Blacks smashed the Wallabies in the collision and at the gainline.
I hate the term 'the modern game', so I'll refer to it as the game played in 2011 where there is so much influence in referee interpretation and not always that much faith in the principle and application of the law.
What is not about interpretation, however, is who wins the gainline battle. That is where the game has become so much like rugby league. Win the physical dominance of who takes the ball in, and who makes that one metre in the tackle, and you have momentum that is so unlike the game of 10 years ago.
Back then it was about creating mismatches and having a fullback run at a prop. It was about more numbers on attack, and the laws at the breakdown forced a fight for the ball that ensured teams committed numbers to the breakdown.
Not any more.
The game played in 2011 allows teams to have rugby- league type defence. Mismatches are rare because most props look like centres and some even have more skill.
This was a game won with gain-line dominance. The Boks' game (against Australia in the quarterfinal) was a game lost in that area.
Lineout statistics, field position and possession dominance have little bearing if the gainline collisions are lost.
Wales will attest to that. Sure, they were heroic and magnificent in playing 14 against 15 in a World Cup semi-final for 63 minutes but when you go 25 phases with the ball, don't break a tackle, and can't get an extra metre, then the credit has to go to the men dominating the collisions. France did that, even though they showed no such enthusiasm with the ball.
The All Blacks were so different in class and in ambition. Their defence was matched by an opening 20 minutes as good as you will see in a World Cup semi-final.
The All Blacks were brutal at every collision, and McCaw was either first with the tackle or the first man in support. He was colossal. I've tried, but there isn't a superlative to do his performance justice. He has been functioning on desire, ambition and one leg at this tournament. The foot injury that kept him out of most of Super Rugby will require a further operation after the final. He has been imposing as a leader and as an ambassador for the game.
I often say we begrudge New Zealand more than we dislike McCaw because he isn't one of ours. This is a guy who has won 90 of his 102 Tests, and 45 of them have been against Australia and SA . You had to be at Eden Park to appreciate his contribution fully.
Likewise his humility a minute from full time. To understand that one must remember the taunt directed at McCaw in the 2003 World Cup semi-final by Wallabies scrumhalf George Gregan as the All Blacks turned over the ball with a minute to go and the game lost. 'Four more years,' said Gregan.
With a minute to go at Eden Park on Sunday evening, referee Craig Joubert called a scrum, the crowd counted down the minute and the big screen focused on a McCaw and Wallabies scrumhalf Will Genia.
The New Zealand crowd chanted: 'Four more years … four more years …'
'What did he (Genia) say to you?' asked a journalist at the press conference. 'He said well done and I said thanks.'
No taunts of 'four more years'.
'It's important we enjoy the win, get our feet back on the ground and respect the challenge of the French,' added McCaw, whose most famous quote at this World Cup has been: 'Every player has a World Cup moment … I've had two.'
New Zealand deserves this World Cup win and Richie McCaw deserves the appropriate World Cup moment.
He has earned it.

Jeremy Renner Shot an Arrow Through Our Hearts – The Daily Swoon
As superhero Hawkeye in 'The Avengers,' Jeremy Renner uses his bow and arrow to kick some bad guy butt, but in real life this dreamy dude is shooting arrows into our hearts, Cupid-style.
Jeremy Renner has emerged as an action hero in recent years, with roles in films like 'The Hurt Locker,' 'The Avengers,' 'The Bourne Legacy' and, most recently, 'Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters.' He can run, fight, and save the entire world — and look gorgeous doing so. He's also gotten to share the big screen with lucky leading ladies like Scarlett Johansson and Rachel Weisz. Not too shabby.
Renner studied computer science, criminology, and psychology before he realized that acting was his destiny. His work in the independent psychological thriller 'Dahmer,' in which he played notorious serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer, helped get him his breakout role in 'The Hurt Locker.'
Jeremy also has a generous heart, contributing time as a United Nations Goodwill Peace Ambassador, helping to raise awareness for mine-clearing efforts in Afghanistan. To stay humble, Renner continues to work renovating and restoring old, classic Hollywood homes, something he's been doing since his early days as an actor.

The United Nations' recent report in regard to "killer robots" is an intriguing concept in incongruity.
First of all, establishing rules for warfare is an exercise in futility and is much like asking feuding gang members to play nicely when the gunfire begins.
Earlier this month the United Nations issued a report from its Human Rights Commission, authored by Christof Heyns, that dealt with legal and philosophical issues involved in giving robots lethal powers over humans.
As cited in an Associated Press story, the report's author calls for a worldwide moratorium on the "testing, production, assembly, transfer, acquisition, deployment and use" of killer robots until an international conference can develop rules for their use.
His findings are due to be debated at the Human Rights Council in Geneva on May 29.
According to the report, the United States, Britain, Israel, South Korea and Japan have developed various types of fully or semi-autonomous weapons, which are installed on unmanned aircraft.
In making a distinction from traditional drones, the author states that drones do have human oversight. The killer robots are programmed to make autonomous decisions on the spot without orders from humans.
Heyns' report notes the increasing use of drones, which "enable those who control lethal force not to be physically present when it is deployed, but rather to activate it while sitting behind computers in faraway places, and stay out of the line of fire."
It's interesting that this discussion is being presented in light of a new generation of weapons, the ilk of which was only imagined in old science-fiction movies.
The AP story, in fact, notes that the debate dates back to author Isaac Asimov's first rule for robots in his 1942 story "Runaround:" "A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm."
Other, more recent films come to mind as well, including "2001: A Space Odyssey," where HAL, the computer, attempts to destroy the crew in order to salvage the mission.
If only rules and moratoriums could prevent what is known as "collateral damage" — where humans can be indiscriminately maimed and killed — which we seem to shrug off as a cost of war.
Even as we've reached beyond our imagination of sophisticated weapons, we fail to think outside the box to resolve age-old conflicts.
