"As I've progressed in my career, I've come to appreciate — and really value — the other attributes that define a company's success beyond the P&L: great leadership, long-term financial strength, ethical business practices, evolving business strategies, sound governance, powerful brands, values-based decision-making." - Ursula Burns, Chairman and CEO
When Burns joined Xerox in 1980 as a mechanical engineering summer intern, the company was the leader in the global photocopying market. As she later assumed roles in product development and planning, the company was securing its leadership position in digital document technologies. From 1992 through 2000, Burns, at a pivotal point in the company's history, led several business teams including the company's color business and office network printing business.
In 2000, Burns was named senior vice president, Corporate Strategic Services, heading up manufacturing and supply chain operations. Alongside then-CEO Anne Mulcahy, Burns worked to restructure Xerox through its turnaround to emerge as a leader in color technology and document services. A key factor in the company's turnaround was its research and development of new products and technologies, and at the time Burns was responsible for leading Xerox's global research as well as product development, marketing and delivery. In April 2007, Burns was named president of Xerox, expanding her leadership to also include the company's IT organization, corporate strategy, human resources, corporate marketing and global accounts. At that time, she was also elected a member of the company's Board of Directors.
Burns was named chief executive officer in July 2009 and shortly after, made the largest acquisition in Xerox history, the $6.4 billion purchase of Affiliated Computer Services, catapulting the company's presence in the almost $600 billion business services market and extending the company's reach into diverse areas of business process and IT outsourcing. Xerox is on track to have two-thirds its revenue come from Services by 2017.
On May 20, 2010, Burns became chairman of the company, leading the more than 140,000 people of Xerox who serve clients in more than 180 countries. Building on Xerox's legacy of innovation, they're enabling workplaces — from small businesses to large global enterprises — to simplify the way work gets done so they can focus more on their core business.
Burns earned a bachelor of science degree in mechanical engineering from Polytechnic Institute of NYU and a master of science degree in mechanical engineering from Columbia University.
In addition to the Xerox board, she is a board director of the American Express Corporation, Exxon Mobil Corporation, and Ford Foundation. Burns also provides leadership counsel to community, educational and non-profit organizations including FIRST - (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology), National Academy Foundation, MIT, and the U.S. Olympic Committee, among others. She is a founding board director of Change the Equation, which focuses on improving the U.S.'s education system in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). In March 2010, U.S. President Barack Obama appointed Burns vice chair of the President's Export Council.

Seven nonprofit executives in Orange County pulled down more than $1 million in compensation last year, according to tax returns filed with the IRS.
Six of those seven presided over an O.C. nonprofit hospital. The other is at the helm of its most visible private university – Chapman – but his appearance on this list is a bit of an anomaly, as we'll explain in a minute.
Now, some in the charity-watchdog world are uncomfortable with pay packages of this size in the nonprofit sector.
"We think $1 million is excessive pay for a charity CEO!" said Sandra Miniutti, vice president at Charity Navigator, which keeps an eye on thousands of charities nationwide.
The high-paying nonprofits beg to differ. These executives could make much more money elsewhere, they say, and the skills and expertise they bring to their jobs makes them worth every penny, especially in those complicated, life-or-death hospital positions.
The figures we're citing here include base compensation, bonus and incentive pay, retirement and other deferred compensation, and the value of nontaxable benefits, as reported to Uncle Sam on informational tax returns in 2011 or 2012 (the most recent available).
Here, then, were O.C.'s Big Seven:
• Leading the pack was Deborah Proctor (right), CEO for the St. Joseph Health Care system, who had total compensation of $2.04 million. She leads a system that includes 14 acute-care hospitals in three states, overseeing home health agencies, hospice care, outpatient services and community clinics.
• No. 2 was Peter Bastone (above left), former CEO and president of Mission Hospital Regional Medical Center. His $1.58 million included years' worth of deferred compensation, officials said.
• No. 3 was Barry Arbuckle, CEO of the six-hospital Memorial Health Services Group. He had total comp of $1.55 million.
• No. 4 was Joseph Randolph, executive vice president and chief operating officer for the St. Joseph system, at $1.3 million.
• No. 5 was Richard Afable, then-CEO of Hoag Memorial Hospital Presbyterian, at $1.23 million.
• No. 6 was Kimberly Cripe, CEO of Children's Hospital Orange County, at $1.12 million.
• And No. 7 was James Doti, president of Chapman University, at $1.11 million. This is much higher than usual because it included a $400,000 "special deferred retention payment," granted by Chapman's board five years earlier, to be paid only if Doti remained on the job from 2006 to 2011. Doti agreed to accept it only if he could return it to Chapman in the form of a gift, which he did. More on that in a bit, too.
Nonprofit CEO compensation has become such a hot-button issue that several states – including New York, New Jersey, Florida, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Illinois – have considered regulations placing limits on it, Charity Navigator said.
And in recent years, the IRS has redesigned Form 990 (those informational tax returns that charities must submit to the IRS each year, and that we at The Watchdog love to peruse) to force greater transparency around nonprofit compensation.
So do these folks make a lot, or not? You decide.
Guidestar.org – keeper of highly useful nonprofit data – combed nearly 100,000 tax returns in its most recent nonprofit compensation survey to see who was getting what. It examined 703 large hospitals like the ones in O.C. and found that:

As if losing her peerless blade, Yasutsuna, to sorceress Kuesu Jinguuji wasn't adding enough insult to injury, Himari the Crimson Blade wakes up one morning in a much younger version of her own body - and it's all thanks to the whims of that witch! Though her new form may give her some advantages over the house Lolita, Shizuku, its drawbacks are far more pervasive: Himari no longer wields the sort of power she did in her older form. When old enemies resurface and attack Yuuto, will the all-but-powerless Himari run from what's sure to be a losing battle?

Ron Morton, a member of the NAMI Board of Directors, is a psychologist and director of recovery and resiliency at ValueOptions in Tennessee.
Is it possible to meaningfully discuss general Native American mental health issues?
If you hear a conversation among Indian* people, youre going to hear a lot about spirituality and elders, or maybe praying to spirits for help with mental illness. With some symptoms that the dominant culture might see as hallucinations, we might ask if someone has a relationship with spirits on the other side. We have a language among ourselves related to mental illness that we all understand pretty well although the way each tribe views mental illness is going to vary a little.
The governments method of treating us all as one homogenous group is a view that has evolved over hundreds of years. Its just more expedient to deal with one group that sees things the same way than it is to deal with a number of different groups that may see things differently.
How do these two different viewsthe governments perspective versus the tribalinteract in terms of mental health services?
There is a conflict between self-determination and receiving government assistance. Self-determination implies responsibilityit acknowledges that a group has a right to determine what happens to them, the services they receive and the programs that they participate in.
Theres never enough money to go around to address problems the way the Indian community would like to address them. Casinos only benefit about 5 percent of Native Americans. The other 95 percent are living in pretty abject poverty. There are Indian people freezing to death each year because they cant afford the propane to heat their homes in the colder parts of country. Its hard to buy good, healthy food on a reservation.
What are some of the ways Native American communities would like to address mental illness?
One of the most serious problems is adolescent suicide. The rate is four times higher for Native American youth than it is for the general population.
What were finding is that if we can return young people to their heritage and hook them up with mentors and elders, it makes a difference with how they see themselves and their ability to survive in the world.
There are approaches we use in Indian country that would probably benefit non-Indian populations. Many youngsters are looking for roots, for a connection that gives them a sense of who they are identity-wise. When you dont have something to fill that void it may be filled by something that is more negative. Maybe a youngster needs to know what it means for them to be Irish or Scottish of Italian, for example.
Its not a matter of throwing money or meds at a problem or putting up a clinic. When were talking about health interventions or access to care or funding, all these things fit together when creating solutions, but most communities are using traditional methods of healing to deal with problems. These may include elders, sweat lodges, healing ceremonies or sand painting.
What would be a more culturally competent view of mental illness and mental health care that comes closer to what the majority of Native Americans would want?
Each tribe may see a given mental illness differently. How close the tribe is to an urban center influences how they see bipolar disorder, major depression and schizophrenia.
We have our share of substance abuse, but theres more focus on that problem in Indian country. Were seen as drunk Indians. Thats how people who dont understand us will paint the picture of mental illness in Indian country.
Another stereotype is that Indians are preoccupied with hating people because of our history. We dont have time for that, any more than anyone else does. That doesnt mean the history doesnt impact us. I know people in South Dakota who can tell me the names of all their relatives who died at Wounded Knee. Most Indian people are of the mind that we need to get on with our lives and learn from the pastdont ignore it, but dont get preoccupied by it.
Another thing we have to look at very closely is medicationto see if these treatments are as appropriate with Indian people as they are for non-Indian people. We know were genetically different but we dont know the ways that the medication might affect us because of that genetic difference.
To me, cultural competence means being willing to understand the differences in people. I have seen that on a national level NAMI is embracing in a major way the concept of the differences between communities. When you have a very clear cultural boundary its imperative that the dominant group and the minority group get together and find ways to bridge that gap.
Have things gotten better?
They may have, but there tend to be eras in which the dominant culture is more friendly to Indians, so well see if its a lasting change. More than understanding the differences between cultures, we need to celebrate them. The medical community is going to have to take a position that says they are willing to learn.
The positive changes weve seen in the last few decades have come from a recognition that standard approaches werent working for minority groups or different cultures. So I think that looking for approaches that do work is progress, but theres still a need to recognize traditional modes of healing as being crediblethat what a medicine man does for healing is just as valuable as what a psychiatrist does. I think the services that medicine people provide are very valuable in helping make breakthroughs with folks who dont see any improvement.
Do you have experience with traditional healing methods yourself?
Ive always known I was Indian but I grew up in an urban center, San Jose, Calif. I never really felt I fit in there and I didnt really understand why. Through my own challenges with mental illness and substance abuse, I grew closer to my culture and the healing that it provided. Ive participated in sacred ceremonies throughout the country.
As an Indian and as a veteran, taking responsibility for myself and people around me was very important. Indian people are supposed to help all people who are less fortunate than ourselves, which helped lead me to the mental health field. Up until a couple years ago I was involved with direct services. Now I help develop and administer recovery and resiliency programs in Tennessee.
What are some changes youd like to see happen for Native Americans?
Number one, folks need to understand that stereotypes they have about Indian people dont really exist. I have feathers but I dont wear them. Its a part of my life but not necessarily the entirety of who I am. Most people in our society are constantly surrounded by people who have Indian blood but they dont know that because we dont make it very obvious.
Secondly, in some parts of this country, its really still not a good idea to be Indian. In east Tennessee, people have learned to put being Indian away because of the Trail of Tears. In the 1830s, Indian people were removed and those that were left had to go underground. They stayed underground for a long time and theyre very reluctant even now to talk about being Indian. That may mean acknowledging that they are out there. Every urban community in this country there is a large population of Indian people that not aware of.
We need to create a welcoming environment for Indian people to be Indian.
*The Native American Journalist Association says both Native American and American Indian are acceptable but that native peoples should be able to determine their own names, with tribal designation being the only truly accurate description. In this article, several terms were used by Mr. Morton.

Jim Ladd told me once, in a 1995 interview, "Radio in general (is) not run by people who know the music anymore. They try to pick a little narrow slot." He was leaving KLSX/97.1 FM at the time. It was dropping classic rock for talk. Ladd would return to a previous home, KLOS/95.5 FM, and in his last stint there, did 14 years of free-form radio. Then, in October of 2011, he got the word he was out again.
Classic rock purists might say the day Ladd left KLOS was The Day The Music Died. But, to use a cliché that is so true, when one door closed, another opened. One year ago he signed with satellite radio Sirius XM and went on the air there Feb. 13, doing four hours a night from 4 -8 p.m. Pacific time on Deep Tracks Channel 27.
What a difference a year makes. "It has been absolutely wonderful and a great learning experience," he said in a phone interview from a studio high atop the Hollywood hills.
"Even though I have been fighting for free-form all my life, it is more freedom than I have ever had before. I'm exploring a lot more music that is available to me. They put in eight tracks that would never see the light of day on terrestrial radio. I'm finding songs that I was unaware of," he said.
Ladd's show is commercial-free. Subscribers receive a radio to use in the car or at home, or they can listen online. See www.siriusxm.com.
Sirius XM does not break out subscriber counts by shows, but overall it has 23.4 million subscribers. Sirius XM's Gregg Steele oversees rock music programming from his base in Washington, D.C. and said Ladd is "a super dedicated human being, the salt of the earth, and one of the easiest guys to work with." He said the service does a lot of channel cross-promotion to make people aware of the Deep Tracks channel.
Ladd signed a one-year deal. Asked if he will re-sign, he emphatically said "yes."
"A major new push is coming," he said. "We are going to take calls from listeners and get involved in social media. I can't believe I am doing this national show. The technology is amazing. They leave me completely alone to do what I want to do. And if I come across a song that is not in the library, I send them an email and ask if it can be added, and, boom, there it is the next day."
Gene (Bean) Baxter returned to his home in Washington state Nov. 20, doing well after donating a kidney to KROQ/106.7 FM engineer Scott Mason on Nov. 13. Mason is also on the road to recovery and was released from the hospital Nov. 17.
Bean phoned into the Kevin & Bean show to talk about the recovery process and to thank KROQ listeners for their support. He said he hopes to return to the show fulltime Monday (Nov. 26). For sure, he said, "he wants to be back in time for the Miss Double D-cember pageant," the website posted. More information: kroq.cbslocal.com.
You can follow Bean on Twitter at www.twitter.com/clydetombaugh.
CBS-TV cameras had exclusive access to the operation, giving Bean the opportunity to watch the removal of his own kidney on "CBS This Morning."
On the KROQ website, Bean said he "went down the hallway to visit Scott, joking 'I went down to check on my other kidney.' We know how poorly he's looked in recent years. It's unbelievable. The transformation... he looks 10 years younger, smiling, laughing, happy... You guys always make fun of me for being a robot not a unicorn, but I teared up when I saw him. It was emotional to see how great he looked."
Yes, you know the holidays are here when KROQ/106.7 FM selects its Top 10 finalists for Kevin & Bean's Miss Double D-cember 2013 Pageant. It takes place Nov. 30 at the Slidebar in Fullerton. "The winner gets all sorts of prizes... like tickets to Almost Acoustic Christmas, Weenie Roast and April Foolishness, professional photo shoots," the website says.

Top federal IT stories of 2013 provide few surprises
Friday - 12/20/2013, 5:59pm EST
It always amazes me when I'm researching a story and find one that I wrote over the summer or the spring and have no recollection of ever having done that piece. It reminds me of how fast things move in the federal community and that I'm getting old.
Without a doubt, 2013 ranks as high on the list of interesting and newsworthy years among the last 16 I've covered in the federal community. We saw a government shutdown, a major administration program fall on its face and a host of smaller, but just as important developments from mobile to big data to the first attempt at IT and acquisition reform in a decade that will continue the government's evolution.
I asked more than a dozen current and former federal officials for their top choices of IT and acquisition stories for 2013. The following is a list compiled based on all their answers.
- HealthCare.gov - Without a doubt the management and technology failings of
the Affordable Care
Act portal received the most comments and votes from my panel of experts. Not
surprising, given the fact it
was the Obama administration's main legislative accomplishment over the last five
years and how much
attention it received across the country.
At the same time, many agency chief information officers, IT and acquisition experts say it also spurred better, more substantive discussions around IT and procurement reform. One agency official said HealthCare.gov demonstrated the importance of "getting IT right" as a major success factor for policy initiatives, and reinforcing what happens when you take technology implementation for granted. Just this week President Barack Obama met with private sector CEOs to discuss the challenges around IT and procurement. The White House's statement on the meeting: "The President made clear his continued focus on improving the way we deliver technology to maximize innovation, efficiency and customer service, and encouraged the CEOs to continue to share their ideas on how to do so."
Pay attention here, this is a precursor to the steps the administration and Congress plan to take in the coming months, especially now that the Federal IT Acquisition Reform Act (FITARA) didn't make it in the final version of the Defense authorization bill, passed by the Senate Thursday. Several sources say the most recent CIO Council meeting featured a long discussion on where the administration needs to go with IT and procurement reform.
- Leaks by Edward Snowden - Easily the second most mentioned story of 2013. And
my experts say this is
broader than just information leaks, but encompasses the entire debate over the
National Security Agency's
use of technology and the renewed focus on stopping or limiting the damage from
insider threats.
One executive said the government is actively fortifying its insider threat protections as a result of Snowden- related leaks. The President received recommendations earlier this week from a committee of experts detailing 46 recommendations to improve the privacy and civil liberties of signal intelligence collection. These changes also will impact the federal contractor community, especially in the wake of the shootings and tragedy at the Navy Yard.
The idea of contractor support and security clearances have come under more scrutiny and will continue into 2014, many experts say. In fact, the Defense Department announced earlier this week at the Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee hearing on protecting federal facilities that it's testing a new continuous monitoring approach to security clearances.
Stephen Lewis, the DoD's deputy director for Personnel, Industrial and Physical Security Policy in the Directorate of Security Policy and Oversight in the Office of Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence, told committee members that the Pentagon established a "pilot on continuous evaluation, which is going to look at — do queries, automated queries of public and DOD records, to look for issues of concern."
Additionally, several experts have said contractors are suffering from the Snowden-effect worldwide as foreign countries are hesitant to do business with them because of the NSA's intrusions and capabilities. One former federal executive said, "The combination of anti-contractor rhetoric generated by the actions of these individuals and a widely acknowledged need to review the entire security clearance process, has led to a series of studies and analyses that could either lead to smart, thoughtful change or could adversely affect how companies are allowed support the government in the future. In either case the government's ability to respond to national security threats could be hampered by an inability to access key skills in a timely manner."
- Shutdown and ongoing budget debate - The impact on IT and acquisition was
clear from the beginning.
Agencies had to delay major projects and contracts. For example, the General
Services Administration
delayed solicitation responses to the huge OASIS multiple award contract for
professional services. The
Defense Intelligence Agency pushed back the $6 billion E-SITE contract industry
day, which delayed the
release of the request for proposals. Even the IRS had to delay tax season, in
part, so it could update systems
with new requirements from Congress. And a recent survey from Market Connections,
Inc. and Lohfeld
Consulting Group, Inc. found 31 percent of vendors say they saw their revenue
decline by more than 10
percent in 2013 because of sequestration and the shutdown, while 30 percent said
their revenue decrease by
less than 10 percent.
Associated with the budget crunch is the government's move to lowest-price, technically acceptable procurements, which also is wreaking havoc on the vendor community. Additionally, the IT passback from the Office of Management Budget, which usually comes right around Thanksgiving, is delayed until after Jan. 1, according to multiple government sources. This cuts down the time agencies have to prepare to implement the new IT and acquisition policies. With Congress passing a topline budget for the next two years, makes planning a little easier, some of the federal executives say they are hopeful for some stability in their budget situations. A New Year's resolution from Congress, maybe?
- Mobility - Several CIOs and executives mentioned the progress agencies made in
not only moving away
from the traditional BlackBerry devices, but implementing the Digital Government
Strategy, using Application
Programming Interfaces (APIs) and taking advantage of virtualization to improve
how citizens consume
services through smartphones and tablet computers.
- Lack of progress on cybersecurity from Congress - This is a story that
actually started in 2012, but the
situation got no better this year. One CIO said lawmakers' inability to find
common ground led to the White
House's cyber executive order. It was one of the few positive outcomes because of
the lack of action by the
Hill. At the same time, the administration worked most of the year to get agencies
set up to implement
continuous diagnostics and mitigation (CDM) as part of its move to dynamic and
away from static
cybersecurity. That will make 2014 a big year for cyber improvements. One CIO said
agencies "need better
ways to stay ahead of the bad guys and more training in because we are losing the
battle." The most obvious
examples of those battle wounds are the attacks and cyber problem at the Energy
and Veterans Affairs
departments that came to light this year.
- Changing roles of CIOs - This could easily be tied to the HealthCare.gov and
FITARA conversation. But a
couple of executives made interesting points around the move by OMB to give CIOs
oversight over commodity
IT and the increased need for collaboration to around issues such as open
government, PortfolioStat 2.0 and
the second term management agenda. In fact, OMB earlier this year created
a new CXO Collaboration Team to help break down any artificial barriers. Add
to that the mandate to
seriously consider shared services, especially around financial management, and
the move to the cloud, CIOs'
role will continue to evolve. As an aside to the changing role of the CIO, the
poor reaction by the White House
to the HealthCare.gov debacle and not providing political cover for the Health and
Human Services and
Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services CIOs and, what one source called the
"defenestration" of former
DHS CIO Richard Spires, didn't sit well with many senior technology

Customer Raves & Reviews
Very Pleased
I used a personal photo to create Thank You cards for our wedding celebration. I admit I was a bit concerned ordering from an on-line site. However, the finished product exceeded my expectations. The only criticism I have is that I wish the photo was a bit larger on the front of the card. Not sure if I could have made it larger or not but I personally would have wanted it to take up more space on the front.
High quality
Highly recommend this company. After weeks of research I found Magnetstreet by accident and never looked back! They have by far the most customizable options on the market. Very high quality, well priced, efficient and great customer service! Loved this product so much I am using them for my wedding invitations.
Beautiful and unique
I actually used this magnets as part of my wedding invitations!! They were different and everyone loved them! I am having a cherry or pink blossom themed wedding so I changed the colours to pink and brown. Beautiful, classy and unique! I love it!
beautiful card!
I was a little nervous about ordering online but when they were delivered I was very satisfied! The quality is great and they were very good with the timing of everything. This company is wonderful in the fact they even ship you free samples so you can get an idea of everything before actually ordering what you want. My fiance and I just love this design because it is feminine for me but not too girly for him.
Perfect save the date magnet!
I loved the way my save the date magnets turned out. I was able to personalize them just right to our colors of the wedding and everything. Everyone I gave them to loved them too!

Justen and his girlfriend went to the ASPCA Adoption Center with a specific dog in mind. But the moment they saw Muppet, everything changed. Justen shared their Happy Tail with us:
When we went to the ASPCA Adoption Center, Muppet was not who we planned to take home. We were ready to sign off on another dog, but as we headed toward the elevator, something miraculous happened. I looked over to a fenced area and saw Muppet. Even though he was a senior dog with health issues, he looked so energetic and happy. I thought, "Look, even though he has a heart condition, he has such energy and life." That was enough for me. I went downstairs with a new mindset, and soon, Muppet was the newest addition to our family. We renamed him Beethoven and have fallen in love with him. He has a lust for life that makes us so happy!

Bill turns up heat on agency use of strategic sourcing
Tuesday - 7/16/2013, 12:21pm EDT
The No Labels Caucus will introduce a bill this week to apply more pressure on agencies to use strategic sourcing.
The bill is one of nine that the caucus of Democrats and Republicans is scheduled to release, in an effort to make the government more efficient and effective.
The No Labels Caucus, which calls itself a problem-solver rising above the partisan fray, will hold a press conference Thursday in Washington to unveil the assorted legislative proposals.
The strategic sourcing legislation is starting to gain support. At the Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee's hearing Monday, Cristina Chaplain, the Government Accountability Office's director of acquisition and sourcing management, said there are several things Congress could do to encourage agencies to buy more efficiently. Her suggestions mirror the No Labels bill in many ways. Chaplain said oversight and hearings may apply the most direct pressure, but legislation could have its role too.
"There could be legislation that actually requires the government to set governmentwide goals for strategic sourcing. There are none right now," Chaplain said Monday at the hearing. "The goals could be tailored by agencies as well. There also could be goals separated not just in terms of how much we should strategically source, but what savings we hope to get. From there, you could break things down in terms of what should be done at the agency levels. Should they have accountable officials? What should their responsibilities be? That's something you can ask the executive agencies to do."
Draft bill sets goals
An early draft of the legislation obtained by Federal News Radio would require President Barack Obama to establish a goal of saving no less than $10 billion a year based on $100 billion of federal spending in 2014 and 2015. In the out years, the bill sets a goal of saving no less than $7.5 billion based on $150 billion in spending in 2016 and 2017.
The bill calls on each agency to establish a specific goal for savings that would equal the governmentwide target. Additionally, the proposal calls for guidance from the Office of Management and Budget to address data collection, savings metrics and criteria, and procedures to hold agencies accountable for meeting the goals.
Sources say that after receiving comments from other lawmakers and industries, the No Labels Caucus changed the bill that will be introduced this week. The updated version of the bill better defines the strategic sourcing principles agencies should follow, including giving more attention to small businesses — a major concern of industry. The bill also changes the goals and gives OMB more oversight into the implementation.
The bill and recent hearings stem from two recent GAO reports that found agencies are leaving billions of dollars in savings on the table. Four of the largest agencies (the departments of Defense, Energy, Homeland Security and Veterans Affairs), accounting for 80 percent of the federal procurement spend, used strategic sourcing for only about 5 percent, or $25.8 billion, of their total spend. GAO found the industry average is 4 percent to 15 percent.
When asked about the No Labels bill, a spokesperson for the committee said by email, "Chairman [Tom] Carper (D-Del.) believes that the government can do much better to promote strategic sourcing and save taxpayers money in the long run, as he expressed during today's hearing. Moving forward, he will continue to work with his Senate and House colleagues and the administration to find a solution to improve on the efficiency of government purchasing, and ensure the taxpayers are getting the best services for their dollars."
Little success over the years
Senators highlighted the lack of progress by the government to save money and buy smarter as compared to Fortune 500 companies. Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) said agencies have been trying to get their arms around strategic sourcing since the 1980s with little to no success.
"It's about information, it's about data and it's about accountability. But let me throw another word out there — incentives. Why does business do it? Because business has to make a profit. Every business manager undergoing strategic purchasing doesn't necessarily have that profit motive, but they are being driven by the profit motive because their manager is telling them their budget has been cut by 10 percent," he said. "So that'd be the question I have for you. How can we instill an incentive into the government bureaucracy to actually start accomplishing some of this stuff, which truthfully should have been accomplished and implemented decades ago?"

We encourage you to consider a public affairs internship during your undergraduate career. There are countless opportunities related to government, politics, law, human rights, international relations and more that will allow you to deepen your understanding of politics. Internships also allow you to get involved in the political process, explore potential career choices, and gain professional skills, work experience and contacts. Internships can be part of a program or you can create your own internship opportunity.
A great place to begin your search for an internship is through the Career Development Center's information on finding and securing an internship. The CDC can help guide you to an internship that is right for you.
The Political Science Majors' Newsletter will also pass on information on any new internsthips that are announced. The department does not endorse any of these, and we urge you to find out as much as you can about any program before applying. In addition, some study abroad programs include internship opportunities.
The Political Science Department offers a spring internship program in state and local politics. This one credit course combines six hours a week with local hosts such as the Union County Court House, the Red Cross, and local government offices, and in-class time to help you get a full understanding of how local politics functions. The course, while run in the Spring, has an application process that takes place in the Fall term. For more information contact Professor Atiya Stokes-Brown.
The University is proud to participate in the Pennsylvania State Legislative Fellowship Program. Bucknell can nominate up to one junior or senior per term to participate in this program which gives you hands on experience in Harrisburg. This one semester commitment is a fabulous opportunity for gaining real world experience, contacts and to participate in government. For more information contact Professor Atiya Stokes-Brown.
Internships can provide invaluable and rewarding experience, but not all are eligible for academic credit. The decision on whether to award credit for internships is made by the Dean of Arts and Sciences, and not at the department level. The process is outlined on the Career Development Center's "Internship Credit FAQs" site. Students interested in earning academic credit for an internship should consult with the department chair beforehand.

NOVA 2007-2008 College Catalog
INSTRUCTIONAL PROGRAMS -- Developmental Studies
If you are coming to the College without some high school courses or prerequisites needed for admission to a curriculum or if you wish to upgrade your skills, the developmental studies program may be the place for you to begin your course of study at NVCC.
Once you are accepted by the College (see "Administrative Information" section), you may take developmental courses until you are ready to go into the program of your choice. Developmental courses are offered at all campuses of the College. These courses (numbered 1 through 9) are available in English composition, spelling, English as a Second Language, reading, and mathematics (arithmetic through trigonometry).
Counselors will help you determine the areas in which your skills and knowledge are below college entry level. In some cases you must complete your developmental courses before enrolling in certain courses or being admitted to a curriculum. In other cases, you can take college level courses along with developmental courses. The approval of a counselor or faculty advisor in the curriculum will be required.
Developmental courses carry credits, but the credits do not apply toward graduation and are not counted in your grade point average.
A wide variety of instructional methods and materials are used at the College for developmental courses. In some courses there is a choice of either the classroom type of lecture/discussion or individualized (programmed) instruction in which you can work at your own rate of learning. Some developmental courses are offered through the Extended Learning Institute. If you have any questions, please check with a counselor or faculty advisor.

A convicted felon who only had three months left behind bars broke out of the Monroe prison Wednesday night, launching an all-out manhunt.
As of Thursday, Brandon Musto, 37, has not been found. But during their search, authorities arrested a McClearly man who allegedly helped him escape.
Authorities believeMusto broke out of the Monroe Correctional Complex sometime between 5 p.m. and 10 p.m. Wednesday night by climbing a barbed wire fence.
Guards noticed he was missing when they took a head count in his minimum security unit.
Musto was convicted of vehicular assault in Thurston County in 2011. He began his prison sentence in September 2011 and was scheduled to be released in February 2013. His criminal history also includes a prior escape charge.
Prison officials said they may know where Musto is headed, but would not say where to prevent tipping him off.
Musto is described as:
--white male, 5-foot 8-inches tall, 180 pounds
--dark hair, brown eyes
--tattoos on his right arm & left wrist
--last seen wearing brown khakis, brown jacket, white undershirt
He should be considered dangerous. Anyone who sees him is advised to call 911.
The 59-year-old McClearly man accused of helping the felon escape was arrested at 4 a.m. Thursday in the area of McConkey Road.
Grays Harbor CountySheriff's deputies said they impounded a vehicle, but there was no sign of Musto.
The prison unit from which Musto escaped houses about 450 offenders.

Roasted Coffee: Peru FTO Junin - Trujillano Microlot & Ethiopia Illubabor Baaroo
November 13,2014
The picture above represents only a tiny amount of hand coffee mills that are here at Sweet Maria's along with small hand cranked coffee roasting devices from around the world. This weeks roasted coffee offerings also come from two different parts of the world and compliment each other perfectly. Keep in mind that if you are not a Ongoing Subscription - Bi-Weekly Roasted Coffee Pairing subscriber, you should place an order for these coffees sooner than later. They usually sell out with the quickness!
Peru FTO Junin - Trujillano Microlot City+
This coffee is a perfect example of what a creamy bodied coffee has to offer. It lays on your tongue like milk chocolate or melted ice cream. There is also lots of sweet honey and cocoa with a snappy apple acidity at in the finish. A City+ roast showcases this coffee perfectly and I would not recommend roasting this coffee any lighter.
Ethiopia Illubabor Baaroo City+
A very gentle coffee with everything you would want from a Western Ethiopian coffee. There is a lot of kola nut in the fragrance and taste that peeks out immediately. Expect some floral notes, and sweet stone fruits, cacao nibs and caramel. The body registers in the middle and clears with citrus-like acidity.
In addition to these coffee offerings above, there are two different blends for your espresso machine. Although you can run any coffee through any espresso machine, these two blends are specifically intended for espresso. The roasting approach is a little different and was intended to pull the acidity level down a touch. Please don't misunderstand me, there is still nice acidity levels here. The difference is with brew time and grind particle size. Mellowing out the acidity in an intended espresso roast could show as a flat or baked with a pour over extraction. Think of it as the difference...

Different Advantages Of Riding A Beach Cruiser Bike
Riding a bicycle has a lot of benefits, especially when it comes to your overall health and wellness. Most of the time, when you think of riding beach cruisers , you think back to being a child again. Did you know that adults can actually have a great time riding a bike, while still reaping some great health benefits? Here you will find some valuable benefits of bike riding. Riding a bike is a great form of exercise. It is a cardio exercise, which means it is great for heart health. If you are looking for a bike to ride for exercise, you may want to get a bike that has several different speeds. This will allow you to change the intensity of your riding as you get used to it.
Cardio exercise is also a great way to lose weight, which means that bike riding can promote weight loss. As your body starts to get older, you may notice that your joints begin to be stiff. When you have joint pain, the last thing you will want to do is ride a bike, or is it? Did you know that riding a bike is one of the best ways for you to exercise when you have joint pain? It doesn't put as much stress on your joints, meaning it is less painful than other methods of exercise. You will also find that bike riding works out your leg muscles. If you have muscle strength issues, or you just want to have tighter muscles in your legs, cycling is a great idea. If you want to gain more endurance, you should ride on a flat surface and increase your speed over time.
You should always remember to do your stretching before you get on your bike, or you could pull a muscle. Finally, you will find that bicycling helps you to have better balance and coordination. To stay steady on a bike, you really have to work on your balance. The more you ride, the better balanced you will become. This helps to strengthen the muscles in your core, which can help you to avoid lower back pain and other concerns that come along with weakened core muscles. As you can see, riding a bike really has a lot of health benefits. If you are looking for an activity that will prove to be beneficial to your health, you will definitely want to consider buying a bicycle.

Comments about Cinelli Carbon Handlebar Tape:
I really wanted to like this grip tape. However, the install wasn't exactly easy. When pulling off the backing, half of the adhesive came with it, thus leaving your hands sticky as I wrapped the bars. After a few rides it has moved in one spot as well to leave a small gap in the wrap. Perhaps my package was left somewhere to get hot and that is the cause of the adhesive issue.

Comments about Cinelli Carbon Handlebar Tape:
I have these on my Cinneli Unica frame with Zipp service Course CSL handlebars. The carbon texture looks great and matches all my other carbon fiber components and they have a great soft feel. They aren't very tacky so they can be a little slippery when wet but I always wear gloves so it's not a problem!

Advising Guidelines
Below are some frequently asked questions, as well as the advising guidelines and submission cap policy that you should review prior to submitting your paper or requesting advising help.
- Who are the EWC Advising and the Paper Submission services for?
These services are for only for currently registered UMUC students; you will need to provide your Student (Empl) ID number to verify your status.
- How soon can I expect to receive feedback?
Writing advisors usually respond within 48 hours. However, during unusually busy periods, the response time may be longer. Please plan accordingly to ensure that your paper can be reviewed. Read about the paper submission cap.
Working with a Writing Advisor
Have realistic expectations prior to submitting an assignment or scheduling an advising appointment.
- Allow at least 48 hours for turn-around on drafts submitted to writing advisors for feedback.
If your paper is due tomorrow, then you should plan to work with a writing advisor on your next paper. It's too late to seek help this time. When you receive a draft back from a writing advisor, you will have to do additional work to complete the final draft.
- Expect appropriate kinds of help.
Think of writing advisors as coaches rather than auto mechanics. Advisors are trained to help you perform better as a writer—not to correct problems in a paper for you.
- Be clear and complete in describing your assignment.
Clearly explaining your assignment will help you to write a better paper. It will also enable the writing advisor to work smart. If you have a printed copy of your assignment, copy or cut-and-paste it into your Request for Writing Help.
- Explain what you need help with.
Writing advisors can suggest improvements for you to make in your paper, but they are not permitted to rewrite, edit, or proofread for you. Because some writers have difficulty recognizing problem areas in their writing, advisors might model editing of a small section of a paper. But they will leave it to you to edit the rest of your draft yourself by following their model.
- PLEASE NOTE: In accordance with UMUC Policy 150.25-Academic Dishonesty and Plagiarism, EWC staff will report any suspected plagiarism or other academic dishonesty to the faculty member teaching the course.
A Note About the EWC Paper Submission Cap
Because of staffing limitations, we can only accept a certain number of requests per day. If you are unable to submit your paper, then we have hit that daily cap. This time around, please consult the many writing resources available to you in our Student Resources section.
Please understand that as the EWC experiences unprecedented growth, we are doing our best to ensure that we maintain the quality of our advice. We appreciate your understanding and support. If you or your professor has any questions about this policy, please e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.
