Tangherlini sought details of GSA IG's investigation tactics
Friday - 9/14/2012, 5:28am EDT
Dan Tangherlini is trying to get to the bottom of what exactly happened during an investigation of the General Services Administration's SmartPay conference.
Federal News Radio first reported what some would say are aggressive tactics used by the agency's inspector general during a review of GSA's spending at the 2012 SmartPay conference in Nashville last month. An IG auditor knocked on the door of the GSA official in charge, David Shea, after 11 p.m. and allegedly read him his Miranda rights. There are two different versions of what happened after the knock on the door.
Tangherlini, the acting administrator of GSA, said he sought out more information about the tactics used by the IG office at the early August conference.
Dan Tangherlini, acting administrator, GSA
"I've talked to both the IG and I've talked to David Shea about the issue that was raised. In both cases, you heard the IG talk [Wednesday] at the hearing where he said he wouldn't comment on managerial decisions and he wouldn't second guess how I do my job. I'm going to have the same level of respect for him," Tangherlini said in an interview with Federal News Radio. "In talking to David Shea about what happened and the outcome, the fact is a very high-level investigation was done of the conference and what they found was none of the abuses, absolutely none of them, were proven to be true. In many ways, he stood a very difficult test, and like many GSA employees do every day, they have a high level of oversight and expectation and they meet it."
Additionally, the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee also asked GSA IG Brian Miller about the approach his investigator used during the analysis during a pre-hearing call last week.
Tangherlini and Miller testified Wednesday about the steps GSA is taking to reform its culture and organization in the wake of the Western Regions Conference scandal that came to light last April.
Tangherlini offered no details on his conversation with Miller or Shea and skirted the question about the impact on the morale of a GSA employee being put into a situation of having a law enforcement officer bang on his door late at night.
"As federal employees, we always will have a higher bar of oversight," Tangherlini said. "I think, actually, if you look at the actions when I got there on day one, I've been working very closely in partnership with the IG, Brian Miller and his team, to make clear there should be no daylight between us and the IG in trying to get to the same end and the same goal, and that is delivering the best and highest quality of services at the most efficient price. We will find our way through that. We have to recognize, we have to step way back and say, 'We have a shared goal here - protecting taxpayer resources and making sure we deliver high quality services.' We will do what we can to see that through."
CIO changes
Tangherlini offered more details on the organizational changes coming from his top-to-bottom review.
GSA will consolidate the three chief information officer offices — headquarters, Public Buildings Service and the Federal Acquisition Service — into one led by Casey Coleman, the headquarters CIO.
"I'm going to ask the CIO organization themselves to give me some ideas for how they think they could structure themselves to be more effective," he said. "I really want to make sure we leverage the full scale of those organizational resources and solve the agencywide problems. Even in the PBS there is an issue of cohesiveness within the PBS CIO structure. The fact we have 11 different building management systems rather than one integrated system — that means we are spending 11 times as much as we need to on buying the system. We are spending more money than we need to on maintaining the system and we don't have the kind of consistency we need to deliver a higher quality program. That's really what the benefit of IT is and we haven't fully realized it."
He said the reforms will give Coleman the authority and the accountability to deliver IT results.
The other major change is consolidating human resources functions in the Chief People Office (CPO).
Tangherlini said the HR functions were more disparate than the CIO's organization.
"The issue was not only did we have people who worked for our CPO out in the field, we also had parallel or shadow CPO functions in the field, and in some cases several layers of it," he said. "What we are saying is, we need to focus the human capital activity on not just processing the paperwork, which we haven't been doing as efficiently and as well as we can and certainly not as transparently as we should have. What we want to do is take that group of folks, streamline those basic processes and really turn them loose on the more complicated processes of human capital planning and really working on developing training plans for employees, the real meat and interesting stuff in the human capital field."
The third major change Tangherlini announced is the reduction of fees GSA charges for using its schedules or providing acquisition services.
Tangherlini said GSA will remove the 1.25 percent surcharge fee on the Strategic Sourcing contracts, taking it down to 0.75 percent. He said Mary Davie, the acting FAS Commissioner, will lead a working group to determine how to reduce the other fees.
"She's supposed to come back to me in a couple of weeks with a plan and a strategy," Tangherlini said. "From there, I'll have a better sense of the timeline. What we are really trying to do is send a signal today both to our vendors and agency community that we get it, we hear them and we are committed to making changes."
He added vendors likely will not be included in the working group, but their input will be solicited at the proper time.

DURHAM — Duke forward Ryan Kelly will be out indefinitely with an injured right foot, the school announced Wednesday night.
"We feel very badly for Ryan," Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski said in a statement from the school's athletics department. "He is playing the best basketball of his career and this is a tough setback for him."
Krzyzewski said the team is optimistic about the potential for Kelly's return. No timetable has been set. He was injured during the first half of Tuesday night's 68-40 victory against visiting Clemson.
The top-ranked Blue Devils (15-0) face No. 20 North Carolina State in Saturday afternoon's game in Raleigh, which is the senior's hometown.
Duke is 39-1 in Kelly's career when he scores in double figures and 9-0 when he leads the team in scoring. He has 854 career points.
Kelly, who's the Blue Devils' third-leading scorer with 13.5 points per game and second-best rebounder at 5.4 per outing, wasn't made available to reporters following the Clemson game. He's shooting 52.1 percent (25-for-48) on 3-pointers.
Junior forward Josh Hairston started the second half in Kelly's spot against Clemson.
Krzyzewski said after Tuesday night's game that he wasn't sure the sequence in which Kelly was injured. An assistant coach alerted Krzyzewski that Kelly was ailing after the forward re-entered the game for the final possession of the first half.
"That's when I found out about it so something must have happened in the last couple minutes of the first half," Krzyzewski said.
Last March, Kelly missed Duke's three postseason games with foot injury and the Blue Devils went 1-2 in those outings.
Point guard Quinn Cook scored 20 of his 27 points in the second half while Kelly was watching.
Some of the scoring slack by Kelly's anticipated injury likely will be distributed differently. Cook's output wasn't a result of Kelly's absence, Duke forward Mason Plumlee said.
"Everything (Cook scored) was within what we're doing," Plumlee said.
In the meantime, Duke has demonstrated other strengths, giving a defensive display against Clemson.
"We're a better shooting team than we've shown," Tigers coach Brad Brownell said. "Some of this is Duke's defense. Duke's defense doesn't give you a lot of rhythm and open 3s."
Kelly had outscored Clemson by 12-10 in the first half. But his role as the other post defender along with Plumlee might be an overlooked aspect for the Blue Devils, who've liked their defense throughout the season.
"It was just so difficult to score," Krzyzewski said after the Clemson game. "Thank goodness, our defense was a little better than theirs."

GENERIC NAME: naproxen
BRAND NAME: Anaprox, Naprelan, Naprosyn, Aleve, Mediproxen
DRUG CLASS AND MECHANISM: Naproxen belongs to a class of drugs called nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Other members of this class include ibuprofen (Motrin), indomethacin (Indocin), nabumetone (Relafen) and several others. These drugs are used for the management of mild to moderate pain, fever, and inflammation. They work by reducing the levels of prostaglandins, chemicals that are responsible for pain, fever, and inflammation. Naproxen blocks the enzyme that makes prostaglandins (cyclooxygenase), resulting in lower concentrations of prostaglandins. As a consequence, inflammation, pain and fever are reduced. Naproxen was approved by the FDA in December 1991.
PRESCRIBED FOR: Naproxen is used for the treatment of mild to moderate pain, inflammation, and fever. It also is used for treating rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, or ankylosing spondylitis as well as dysmenorrheal (painful menstrual periods).

Cruise for Gold Qualifier—Ken Hargrove
Congratulations to Ken Hargrove from Austin, Texas, on qualifying for the Cruise for Gold trip! Here's what he had to say about qualifying for the cruise…
"When I experienced the health benefits of MonaVie Active for myself, I was not only hooked but excited to share the products with others. MonaVie creates state-of-the-art products that do what they are intended to do, which allows distributors to share with confidence.
"I am just one person in a very well organized and incredible system. My sponsors, Doug and Pattie McGuinn, are just amazing; and, my team is the fastest-growing team in Texas. They are leaders who have come to realize that leaders are readers, and it is paying huge dividends.
"I believe that I will have a worldwide organization that will bless people financially and, more importantly, spiritually and nutritionally. This organization will give me the opportunity to travel all over the world and develop deep and long-lasting friendships. Going on the cruise is just an example. It has been 24 years since my last cruise, and I doubt that I would be taking a cruise in the near future if it were not for this opportunity.
"Do something every day and zero in on your goal. Counsel daily, read daily, help your downline rank advance, attend all functions, and work. There is no secret to it. I qualified for the cruise by increasing my daily activity and focusing on bringing in quality distributors.
"The most important thing a distributor can do for his or her business is to realize you fail your way to success. This business is about working as smart as you can, which means following the proven system and continually asking yourself, 'If I had to do it all over again, what would I do differently?' Sometimes it's nothing; for me, it's, 'Ah…won't do that again!' or 'Should have done that and will do that next time.' It also means understanding the nature of planting seeds and the process that the seeds go through.
"Reach out and meet people at their needs. They have to want it more than their upline wants it for them; but, they have to know that you're willing to do whatever it takes to lock arms and win.
"On the cruise, I'm looking forward to getting some rest, sun (in January!), food, and the opportunity to learn from the best leadership in the industry!"

Athens Named a Second Team All-American by Synapse Sports
May 23, 2012
MISENHEIMER, N.C. - Pfeiffer University women's lacrosse standout Katherine Athens has been named a second-team All American by Synapse Sports announced on Wednesday. Athens has also been named to the IWLCA's All-Region South team and Conference Carolinas' first-team. Athens set a new school-record for caused turnovers in a season with 41 while tying the mark in a game at seven. A complete list of Player's of the Year and All-American teams are below.
Goalie of the Year - Kelly Fucillo, Le Moyne
Fucillo was a rock all season for Le Moyne, ranking second in the nation in save percentage at 52.8% despite facing one of the toughest schedules in the nation. She added the top GAA in the country at just over 7 goals a game and ranked second on the team in ground balls.
Defender of the Year - Courtney Bianculli, Rollins
Bianculli helped the Tars to the top seed in the South Region and a No. 4 ranking in scoring defense while ranking in the top-12 nationally in caused turnovers and ground balls.
Midfielder of the Year - Brittany Brigandi, Le Moyne
Brigandi had the Dolphins at the top of the league all season long, leading Le Moyne in points and goals while ranking second in draw controls and ground balls. The Dolphins faced a top-ten schedule and still led the nation in scoring defense. The Northeast-10 Player of the Year averaged more than four points a game on a balanced squad that had four 50-point scorers on the season.
Attacker of the Year - Jackie Sileo, C. W. Post
Sileo led the nation in scoring, averaging more than seven points a game, and led her Pioneers to the NCAA title with a record-setting performance in the tournament. She was as adept at scoring as she was at setting up her teammates, showing her versatility in the final weekend with a flurry of goals in the title game, a day after she demonstrated her ability to lead the team by setting up her teammates.
Rookie of the Year - Samantha McCarrick, Limestone
McCarrick was an excellent addition for the Saints in 2012, ranking second on the team in scoring while ranking fourth in draw controls. The Conference Carolinas Rookie of the Year, McCarrick added phenomenal depth for Limestone throughout the season and helped them advance to the NCAA tournament.
Unsung Hero of the Year - Katie Rotan, C. W. Post
Rotan played a key role for the Pioneers throughout the season, adding depth in the attack and gaining key possessions for them off the draw. She could score when C. W. Post needed a goal, and she ranked second on the team in ground balls as well as draw controls.
Coach of the Year - Dennis Short, Rollins
Short was able to lead the Tars into the NCAA tournament for the first time in school history, earning the No. 1 seed in the south along the way. Rollins defeated five ranked teams on the season and ranked second in the nation in scoring margin nationally.

The Callan Periodic Table of Investment Returns is a popular topic, but it was never in the wiki. Thanks to a suggestion by Peter Foley, this has been fixed.
Wiki article link: Callan periodic table of investment returns
I got stuck in one area: Callan refers to this table as consisting of eight asset classes, but I count nine entries. Can someone please break this down?

Facebook: 'Overreaction or Overstep'?
Most people these days are connected to a social media outlet in one form or other. Facebook is the most predominant and renowned social media service and thus holds a large archive of members. That being said, those who use it obviously know that their data, and personal information is out there for the public, Facebook and ultimately any government agency who asks them for their caches to see. We all know this, but that is not what people are angry about right now.
Facebook has been reported to have conducted a study in which it analyzed over 700,000 of its users timelines to see how negative posts can affect other user posts. They claim that they want to see how negativity on Facebook may affect its user base and are only doing it to improve their service. However, aside from their official statements, this has sent people into an anxious panic. Do you think they are justified?

Additionally you can also read Facebook's editor's thoughts on the whole subject HERE.
Do you think that people's worries are warranted? Do you think that the simple nature of putting your information online makes it forfeit to anyone who sees it? Many of these experiments need individuals to remain unaware that they are being subjected to it, does that makes this right? Facebook can see our posts regardless, should we care that they analyze them for negative terms? Or anything for that matter?
I'd like to know what you think about this whole issue. But I want to you to put this issue into the larger framework of internet privacy. Do you think that such a thing can can exist? Or that it even should exist?

A Year of Thankfulness
Years ago, I found a set of books called "Simple Abundance". It is one of those daily inspirational books that gives you a sometimes overly-cheery page to read and ponder every day. While this sunshine-y book has long since been relegated to a storage box somewhere, the concept, and its accompanying "Journal of Gratitude" made a lasting impression on me.
As we approach yet another Thanksgiving, it is natural to reflect on what this past year has brought to our lives. What things are you expressing gratitude towards? I ask that you start a list, as the Journal of Gratitude suggests, and pay attention. This can be just a few items per day and start with the easy ones such as health, family, a job, a home.
Better yet, when your Thanksgiving guests arrive, let them know you'll be asking them to think of an example for which they are thankful. Provide slips of paper for your guests to write down one item (or more) and then anonymously place these in a bowl to read before you enjoy your Thanksgiving feast.
It's a simple gesture that will have you all thinking about the richness of good company, abundant food and a thankful spirit. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving everyone!

Tomorrow is the day we honor America.
But do we really? Oh, we'll put out our flags, perhaps set off some fireworks and maybe even do something patriotic. But do we really honor our country and its government? We wonder sometimes.
Too often, we hear grousing about the government as though it's something to be despised and reduced or eliminated. Many politicians even campaign against government, all the while trying to become a part of it.
We call folks who work in the private sector employees, but somehow those who serve us in government are labeled "bureaucrats," with all the negative image that conjures up.
The most vitriolic comments we hear usually are directed at the federal government. State and local governments often get into the act, even though part of their operations usually are financed from pass through tax money from the taxes we send to Washington.
We're not part of those negative comments. For the most part, we are proud of our country and its government.
We're thankful for the many things the federal government does to make our lives better. You may have your own list; here is some of ours:
• Protecting us from our enemies, both foreign and domestic.
• Keeping our air clear and our water safe to drink.
• Assuring that we are paid a minimum wage for our labor.
• Regulating in many ways the factors that contribute to personal safety, whether in the work place, or in our daily lives.
• Providing the safety net for our old age that we call Social Security.
• Protecting the rights of all, even though they may be of a different color or come from a different culture than our own.
We could go on and on. But you get the point.
Happy Birthday to America and its government. We'll fly our flag proudly.

Is there a standard model for market impact? I am interested in the case of high-volume equities sold in the US, during market hours, but would be interested in any pointers.
There is a family of models that is so commonly used among practitioners that it can be almost regarded as standard. For a survey, check out Rob Almgren's entry in the Encyclopedia of Quantitative Finance. Check out also Barra, Axioma and Northfield's handbooks. In general, the impact term per unit traded currency is of the form
$$MI \propto \sigma_n \cdot \text{(participation rate)}^\beta$$
where the exponent is somewhere between 1/2 and 1, depending on the model being used, and the participation rate is the percentage of total volume of the trade, during the trading interval itself. When including the total MI in optimization, the models commonly used are the "3/2" model and the "5/3" model, in which the costs are proportional to (dollar value being traded for asset i)^{3/2, 5/3}. Since the term is not quadratic (and not solvable by a quadratic optimizer) some people approximate it by a linear term plus a quadratic one, or by a piece-wise linear convex function.
I don't believe that there is a "standard" model (per say); in fact, there are many considerations around market impact models, so you would need to be more specific. At the most basic level, you might define market as $P_{first fill} - P_{last fill}$ once your order in actually in the order book (e.g. not including other costs like "opportunity cost"). This doesn't take into account any other trades that may be taking place at the same time or other events that might be impacting the price beyond your order. It doesn't doesn't help you to forecast market impact on an impending order (which would require some knowledge of time of day, volume, volatility, etc.).
That being said, I would certainly recommend reading "Optimal Trading Strategies" (Kissell, Glantz 2003) which gives a good overview (in addition to covering other transaction cost subjects).

COMMON BRAND NAME(S): Pletal
Medications similar to cilostazol have caused serious (possibly fatal) problems in people with a certain type of heart disease (congestive heart failure). Therefore, do not use cilostazol if you have congestive heart failure.
Cilostazol is used to improve the symptoms of a certain blood flow problem in the legs (intermittent claudication). Cilostazol can decrease the muscle pain/cramps that occur during exercise/walking. Claudication pain is caused by too little oxygen getting to the muscles. Cilostazol can increase blood flow and the amount of oxygen that gets to the muscles.
Cilostazol is an antiplatelet drug and a vasodilator. It works by stopping blood cells called platelets from sticking together and prevents them from forming harmful clots. It also widens blood vessels in the legs. Cilostazol helps the blood to move more easily and keeps blood flowing smoothly in your body.
Read the Patient Information Leaflet if available from your pharmacist before you start taking cilostazol and each time you get a refill. If you have any questions, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
Take this medication by mouth without food as directed by your doctor, usually twice daily, at least 30 minutes before or 2 hours after breakfast and dinner. The dosage is based on your medical condition, response to treatment, and other medications you may be taking. Be sure to tell your doctor and pharmacist about all the products you use (including prescription drugs, nonprescription drugs, and herbal products).
Use this medication regularly to get the most benefit from it. Remember to use it at the same times each day.
Your symptoms may improve in 2-4 weeks, but it may take up to 12 weeks before you get the full benefit of this drug.
Tell your doctor if your condition persists or worsens.
Headache, diarrhea, runny nose, and dizziness may occur. If any of these effects persist or worsen, tell your doctor or pharmacist promptly.
Remember that your doctor has prescribed this medication because he or she has judged that the benefit to you is greater than the risk of side effects. Many people using this medication do not have serious side effects.
Tell your doctor right away if you have any serious side effects, including: fast/pounding/irregular heartbeat, swelling hands/feet, easy bruising/bleeding, black/bloody stools, vomit that looks like coffee grounds, signs of infection (such as fever, persistent sore throat).
Get medical help right away if you have any very serious side effects, including: chest/jaw/left arm pain, fainting, vision changes, weakness on one side of the body, slurred speech, confusion.
A very serious allergic reaction to this drug is rare. However, get medical help right away if you notice any symptoms of a serious allergic reaction, including: rash, itching/swelling (especially of the face/tongue/throat), severe dizziness, trouble breathing.
This is not a complete list of possible side effects. If you notice other effects not listed above, contact your doctor or pharmacist.
In the US -
Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088.
In Canada - Call your doctor for medical advice about side effects. You may report side effects to Health Canada at 1-866-234-2345.

To lower the chance of getting cut, bruised, or injured, use caution with sharp objects like razors and nail cutters, and avoid activities such as contact sports.
This medicine may cause stomach bleeding. Daily use of alcohol while using this medicine may increase your risk for stomach bleeding. Limit alcoholic beverages. Ask your doctor or pharmacist about how much alcohol you may safely drink.
Before having surgery, tell your doctor or dentist about all the products you use (including prescription drugs, nonprescription drugs, and herbal products).
Older adults may be more sensitive to the side effects of this drug, especially swelling of the hands/feet (fluid retention).
During pregnancy, this medication should be used only when clearly needed. Discuss the risks and benefits with your doctor.
It is unknown if this medication passes into breast milk. Consult your doctor before breast-feeding.
Drug interactions may change how your medications work or increase your risk for serious side effects. This document does not contain all possible drug interactions. Keep a list of all the products you use (including prescription/nonprescription drugs and herbal products) and share it with your doctor and pharmacist.

Some products that may interact with this drug include: "blood thinners" (such as heparin, warfarin), certain other antiplatelet drugs (such as dipyridamole, ticlopidine), tipranavir.
This medication is sometimes used together with other drugs that may increase your risk of bleeding. Examples are certain antiplatelet drugs (such as aspirin, clopidogrel). Follow your doctor's instructions carefully and continue your medications as directed. Tell your doctor if you notice unusual bleeding. Consult your doctor or pharmacist for more details.
Check all prescription and nonprescription medicine labels carefully since many medications contain pain relievers/fever reducers (aspirin, NSAIDs such as ibuprofen/naproxen) which can increase the risk of bleeding/antiplatelet effect when used with cilostazol. However, if your doctor has directed you to take low-dose aspirin to prevent heart attack or stroke (usually at dosages of 81-325 milligrams a day), you should continue taking the aspirin unless your doctor instructs you otherwise. Ask your doctor or pharmacist for more details.
If overdose is suspected, contact a poison control center or emergency room immediately. US residents can call their local poison control center at 1-800-222-1222. Canada residents can call a provincial poison control center. Symptoms of overdose may include: severe headache, very fast/irregular heartbeat, severe dizziness.
Do not share this medication with others.
Talk with your doctor about an exercise program to improve walking and decrease pain.

As an alumnus and past trustee, I have scanned many a Scene publication. This latest issue, which I finally finished reading from cover to cover, is the best ever — not just as an alumni magazine, but also as an absorbing, interesting and, yes, artful work.
Many thanks to you and your staff. The only problem is to match or better the next one.
— Chet Daniels '56
As a Willamette alumna from Alaska (living back in Alaska now), I was happy to read "The ABC's of Alaska" in the briefs section of the spring issue. I am hoping there will be a follow-up article about the work the MAT candidates and instructors do while they are here working with rural schools. Please let us know about their progress and results.
— Courtney Everard '00
So that's what it comes down to. The life and career of a 27-year Willamette faculty member summarized in four inches of 6-point type on page 51 of The Scene. No photograph, no remembrances from former students, no eulogy from contemporaries or University leadership.
Stanley Butler taught music theory, music history and music appreciation to hundreds of Willamette students over his career.... I studied piano with [him], although I was not a music major. I corresponded with him until his death. I attended one of his retirement recitals billed as his last, although it wasn't.
Stanley Butler toiled in a fringe of the Willamette environment. Most students in the College of Liberal Arts did not take classes from him. He was not as well known as Daniel Schultze, Ted Shay, Paul Trueblood, Ivan Lovell, Buzz Yocum or Chester Luther. But he had important and lasting impacts on many students. He shaped lives through music. He helped students achieve objectives, both at Willamette and, with lessons learned, later in life. He should be remembered for the role he played in combining academic rigor and musical precision with the maturing lives of the young men and women whom he instructed. His work affected not only the formative and adult lives of his many students, but also future generations through his legacy and memory.
Stanley Butler merits pause and reflection as one of Willamette University's prized faculty members.
— Marvin F. Case '65
Editor's Note: The Scene is often the first word alumni receive that a beloved faculty member has passed, meaning tributes such as this come in only after publication. So we will create a section of the online version of the magazine for readers to share remembrances and reflections, and will include photos of faculty from their tenure at the University as they are available.
Several readers, incluing Diane (McKenney) Mulholland '70 and Joseph Harvey '54, wrote in response to the "103-yearold Recalls Birth of Star Trees" article in the fall issue of The Scene, asking for an address to contact Margaret Ringnalda. She would be delighted to receive your letters. Someone will contact you directly with her address.
I greatly enjoyed the story "103-year-old Recalls Birth of Star Trees" in the fall 2007 issue, but there is a mistake in the box at the bottom of the page. The Coast Redwood (Sequoia sempervirens) is the tallest tree in the world. The Giant Sequioia (Sequoiadendron giganteum) is the world's largest tree by volume. Just a quick note from someone who studies tree rings for a living.
— Evan Larson '02
The chemistry faculty wanted to let you know that Natalie Muren '06, who was acknowledge in the fall Scene for her National Science Foundation Award, was actually a chemistry major, not biology.
— Karen Holman, associate professor of chemistry

Amia Chair
by Steelcase
At A Glance:
The Amia Chair isn't necessarily glamorous, but it's incredibly effective. It has all the comfort you'd expect from a $1200 chair like the Embody, but you can buy it at half the cost. No bells and whistles, just real comfort, real support, and real simple design.
What's To Like:
The Amia Chair is a triumph of the free market. It strips away all the things you don't really need from the most high-end office chairs, but it keeps all their comfort, freedom of movement, support, and color. It's lean, and it has kept only the essentials. And because of that, it's half the price. Like it for the simple design, like it for the back supporting LiveLumbar system, like it for the comfort of the seat and back; love it for the price.
What's Not to Like:
We say simple design, but others might say unsophisticated design. The Amia Chair doesn't do anything new or exciting with the office chair form. But trust us, it's got a great personality.
The Bottom Line:
The Amia Chair is genteel in the cubicle and a freak (world beater?) in the comfort and ergonomics department.
- Seat angle: Passive
Automatically adjusts for reclining
- Seat height: Adjustable
Pneumatic control provides a full range of height
- Lumbar: Standard
Allows fine-tuning for lumbar support
- Tilt limiter: 2-stage
Slightly reclined or fully reclined tilt settings with adjustable tension
- Seat depth: Adjustable
Slides forward and backward to accomodate people of different heights
- Arm depth: Adjustable
Makes it easier to get closer to your desk
- Arm pivot: Yes
Puts armrests at just the angle you need them
- Overall depth: 21.75" to 24.75"
- Overall width: 26.625"
- Overall height: 37.25" to 42.5"
Steelcase has done it again: the Amia chair bests all previous competitors by being the most ergonomic, well-designed, supportive midrange task chair out there. Of course it comes complete with all the seating advances that have made ergonomics a household word: adjustable seat depth, a flexing front edge to relieve stress and pressure on the backs of your legs, armrests that can be adjusted in four directions, convergent design on the back and base creating a comfort pocket in the seat.
The Amia Chair is a gently curved, extremely comfortable task chair with a clean, modern design. Most buyers love the look of the chair, and all love the feel of it. The back and seat have plenty of give, mixed with serious support for your spine.
The lumbar region in particular is targeted and relieved by the Amia Chair's unique LiveLumbar support system, which comes standard. LiveLumbar, a network of closely connected but largely independent flexors in the back of the chair, works by responding to even the smallest movements and adjustments made by the seated person.
The comfort, the support ... it's all right there in the name. For those who don't know, "Amia" is Italian for "Excellent office chair with unparalleled lumbar support and a rewarding, deceptively simple design." Starting at $569.
But the biggest feature of the Steelcase Amia is also the most invisible. It's called LiveLumbar, and it's a series of flexors ranging up and down the back of the chair, all of which flex and contour to your shape and movement while supporting and easing the strain on your lower back. Lumbar refers to the lowermost part of your back, often referred to as the small of the back or the lumbar curve.
Consisting of five vertebrae that curve in towards the body, the lumbar area of the back can really be strained as you sit. But not with the Amia chair. LiveLumbar is the essential feature of every Steelcase chair, and addressing the stress and pain of long hours of sitting is at the top of Steelcase's priorities.
Steelcase also pioneered the LiveLumbar system as a way of bringing the comfort and support of high-end ergonomic chairs to regular folks, the ones who need it most. With a starting price of $509, well below the range of most high-tech chairs, the highly adaptive, absurdly comfortable, unfailingly supportive Amia chair is well worth it.
Amia is designed for serious sitting, long days at work or the home office that can really damage your back, legs and shoulders (and especially your lumbar region). Amia takes care of all of them with its revolutionary and ingenious LiveLumbar technology. You may not see it, but you'll definitely feel it - and that's what really matters.
Buy Amia today. Your back will love you.

The design of the Steelcase Amia chair was motivated by several goals: Simplicity, comfort, support, adaptability, durability, and value. Amia can proudly claim to have accomplished all of them. The Amia Chair is meant to be an everyday relief from the stress and unhealthy postures of eight hour days at the office; days that can take an often unseen toll on your back, shoulders, spine, neck and thighs. The LiveLumbar technology within the chair, one of the most important ergonomic innovations Steelcase has pioneered, takes the responsibility of keeping your lower back supported as seriously as the rest of the chair works to keep you comfortable. Beyond simple comfort and support, this is also an extremely adjustable and adaptable chair. It can be adjusted to fit any user, and the four-way adjusting armrest is the cool and quirky cherry on top of a truly fine office chair.
- Simplicity - "There is a difference between simple and simplistic."
The designers at Steelcase had a clear idea of what type of chair the Amia would be. They wanted strong, clear lines, hidden working parts instead of the more common and showy extroverted bells and whistles favored by other furniture makers, and a look inspired by none other than the VW Bug. The Amia chair accomplished this by keeping all of its ergonomic design hidden from view, either within the seat back - where the LiveLumbar system resides - or in the seat itself, where cooling technology is deployed to keep users from getting overheated. Because of the focus on simplicity within the technological design, the aesthetic design was freed up, and was able to form a unified whole rather than just a few striking parts. Amia has a back slightly narrower than usual, which frees up the shoulders and arms, as well as a rounded, slightly contoured seat. The back and seat dovetail at a wide angle, creating plenty of room to shift and get comfortable, while also continuing to support the back. Available in several colors, the Amia is as personal as the car it was designed to recall.
- Comfort
The number one priority for people who use office chairs is comfort. That's understandable; nowadays the average American worker is sitting at a desk or in front of a computer for up to ten hours a day, both at work and at home. And who wants to be uncomfortable ten hours a day? Fortunately the Amia chair is designed to relieve stress and pressure, provide excellent comfort in the seat, and support the arms. And it's not just your physical self that will work better in more comfortable positions; studies have shown that increased comfort and support at work can lead to increased brain function in the form of alertness, focus, and even productivity. Sitting in an Amia Chair is the right decision if you want to be comfortable, and being comfortable is the right decision if you want to significantly improve your day-to-day experience at work.
- Support
The Steelcase Amia chair is known first and foremost for its LiveLumbar technology, resident in the backing of the chair. A series of flexors and pads ranging across the width of the seat back, LiveLumbar does an unparalleled job of supporting and easing your lumbar region. How does it work? Well, the flexors not only support, they move and adapt to your body. That means when you recline, lean, tilt, or sit awkwardly, Amia adapts to that and keeps your back healthy. But while they flex for movement, they also hold firm for prolonged sitting. Conforming to the curve of your lower spine and correcting for awkward posture, the Amia LiveLumbar system can't be beat as far as the benefit to your back goes. And it isn't the only feature that lends support. The seat pan of the chair is strong enough to hold your weight comfortably, but also soft and rounded enough to take pressure off your legs and posterior, improving circulation and lessening or removing undue stress on your legs. The armrests are so adjustable, going four ways, that it's easy to always have the appropriately supportive arm support you need when working, no matter what position you're in.
- Adaptability
The Amia chair is highly adjustable. Even the LiveLumbar system can be moved up and down the back of the chair according to taste! Other movable parts include:
- Adjustable Seat Depth -- People don't fit neatly into average body sizes. Leg and torso lengths can vary independent of a person's overall height. Amia's adjustable seat depth accommodates different body shapes for long-term comfort. It also works to actually keep your legs comfortable while you're sitting. It takes pressure off your thighs, which increases circulation, and it has advanced cooling technology to make sure you don't sweat or get overheated in the chair.
- Back Tension -- Adjust the amount of resistance - or "push back" - to your preference to help maintain your back's natural curve. Amia conforms to your specifications.
- Height, Depth, Width, and Pivot Arms -- Arms telescope in and out, move forward and back, pivot and adjust up and down so you can find a natural position that comfortably supports the wrists, forearms, shoulders and neck.
- Durability
The Steelcase Amia chair can handle up to 300 lbs, and is backed by the Steelcase 10 year warranty. Assuming you keep the Amia for 10 years (and it may be much longer after you sit in this comfortable, ergonomic, adjustable chair), that's a cost of just 14 cents a day for the base model. Can you afford not to buy Amia?
In the end, the Amia Chair has a very strong case as the best ergonomic office chair on the market. It's very comfortable (again, the number one concern of office workers), it supports all types of bodies in all types of healthful ways, it can be adjusted to exacting specifications and therefore personalized, it's durable and has a great warranty, and it's just plain stylish and well-designed. What more can you ask of an office chair than that it give you everything you need, and nothing you don't? Smart Furniture is proud to offer the Steelcase Amia Chair to our customers.
Amia was created in the Steelcase Design Studio in collaboration with Thomas Overthun of IDEO.

Read the story behind the Amia Chair's design
The Amia Chair is insta-ergonomic technology that has my back. I can honestly say that I have never been happier about a chair switch in my Smart Furniture career -- now, I have only had three switches so far, but I'm trying to magnify the fact that this is by far my favorite. I did a little pre-switch research and discovered that the design for the Amia has roots in the old version of the Volkswagen Bug and a nearly-empty glass of cognac. Don't drink and drive is what comes to mind next after hearing that, but fortunately I'm at no risk there.
I find those ideas very off-the-wall for a chair, but at the same time, I am happy to sit on an idea like that. It reminds me to think outside the boundary or the expected norm. Read more...

Mountain Biking in Moab, Utah
By Drew Gilligan
Twenty years ago Moab was a decaying mining town in the Utah desert and its streets were as empty as its failing uranium mines. Today the town booms with adventure seeking tourists from around the world.
Moab lies deep in Utah's Canyon Country and getting there can be time consuming, but the journey is well rewarded. The nearest major airports are in Salt Lake City, Utah or Denver, Colorado and they are 236 and 355 miles away respectiively. Shuttle services are offered from Salt Lake, but the area has so much scenery you will want to explore it in your own car. Whether you come from Salt Lake or Denver it's recommended you drive US 128 to get into town.
The Heart of Canyon Country
US 128 takes a traveler from bland high desert scrub brush on I-70 deep into heart of Canyon Country. You follow the Colorado River as it meanders through the towering sandstone cliffs and mesas of the Professor Valley . Some moments you feel as if you are transported the actual Biblical wilderness from which Moab takes its name and can imagine stumbling upon an ancient city like Petra at any moment.
Moab may have several national parks and the Colorado River, but the town earned it fame as America 's mountain bike mecca. When bicyclists discovered an old ATV trail near a garbage dump over twenty years ago the town changed from a mining economy to a tourist economy. The town bustles with tourist friendly businesses from art galleries to coffee shops for a traveler to enjoy after a great ride.
The Rides
The Slickrock Trail
The Slickrock Trail with its constant mix of steep climbs, steep drops, half-pipes and ledges will challenge most riders as they glide over the slickrock. Contrary to the name, slickrock is not actually slick rock! Your bike tires grip this rock as well as pavement and that allows you to travel as great speeds with great control. The trail is marked with a white stripe so you can find your way through red desert wilderness.
Klondike Bluffs
An easier ride that still has a leg-cranking climb and blindingly fast descent without the technical challenges of slickrock. I've ridden this trail with several first timers and they all found it very rewarding. This out and back ride goes up to the border with Arches National Park and passes great scenery and dinosaur tracks petrified in the slickrock. Locating the tracks requires looking for a rock circle some concerned people put around them.
Porcupine Rim
Porcupine Rim could be the second most famous ride in Moab and it could easily be its best. I recommend riding it with a car to shuttle from town to the start because it saves you fifteen miles of road riding and eliminates some of the climb. From the start Porcupine Rim is a four-mile climb and an enjoyably technical eleven-mile descent. Views from the rim can be so spectacular they are disorientating. Atop the plateau you have clear vistas into the pristine desert that looks much the same as it did thousands of years earlier when the Anaszi roamed the area.
The final descent of the ride you stand on begins four hundred feet about the Colorado River . The mighty river looks like a green ribbon where its life giving waters awaken the sleeping desert vegetation. This final descent is often too technical for most mortals and I would recommend walking down several gnarly spots.
After the Ride
The Utah desert can reach sweltering temperatures in midday and I recommend beginning your riding early and end before noon , however, this does not mean that you hibernate like desert rat for the day. I recommend a post ride brew, burger, and billiards at Eddie McStiff's. They serve real beer with real alcohol and you usually don't have to get entangled in Utah 's complex liquor laws if you order food. It's pretty easy to listen to the sign on the wall and get "McStiffed" on their fine brews, but you still have some driving to do.
Bikes: Hauling a bike all the way out into the Utah desert is not always easy. Luckily, Moab has plenty of bike shops to help you out, however, I recommend Poison Spider at 497 North Main Street . They rent great rides at reasonable prices and even give you a free water bottle. The helpful folks at the shop have helped me with some free repairs and even looked the other way when I've brought back bikes in bad shape.
The Slickrock Trail is located in the state run Sand Flats Recreation area and for a $8.00 fee you can camp at one of its one hundred-five improved campsites.
Spring and fall are probably the best time to visit Moab because miss summer heat and winters still get chilly. A great time to visit is around Halloween as the world famous Moab Fat Tire Festival gets underway with night rides, parties, and contests. Learn more at moabfattirefest.com.
BLM campsites line US 128 and have a $10 use fee, however, these sites are often full in the high season.
I just wanted to say that I love the article, Mountain Biking in Moab, Utah. I have always wanted to go there being from Denver and I definitely think I'm going to take a trip this spring as recommended. I love the fact a bike shop was recommended as not to haul your bike and other things to do other than making it a trip just about mountain biking, but so many other things to do as well. Thanks for posting the article!!!

The Benoist project we're building to recreate the 100th anniversary of the first scheduled airplane airline flight by Tony Jannus uses a six-cylinder two-cycle 75hp Roberts engine.
We know of only seven in the world and there are none to be purchased. This is one of two 4-cylinder 50hp Roberts engines I found and acquired.
We were able to borrow a six-cylinder engine from Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome that Cole Palen had acquired years ago to reverse-engineer. It had been in a crash and the case had been welded in several places.
Here's a view of the back end with the gears for the single magneto, water pump and rotary valve induction tube.
The 75hp six-cylinder engine has two more cylinders (12 ½ hp per cylinder) than the 50hp four-cylinder and uses two of the same carburetors.
Here's a rough cylinder liner casting on the left. The one on the right has been machined and the top partially cut out to check for proper thickness. It was actually too thin in one spot and the casting pattern had to be adjusted to compensate. Any bad parts and pieces can be melted back into the pot and used in a future attempt.
Here are steps from left to right in casting and machining the cast iron pistons.
Here are six connecting rods for one engine. The big end connects to the crankshaft with two bolts and another curved piece and the little end connects to a piston with a piston pin. Each assembly will go up and down in the cast iron cylinder liner twenty times a second!.
Here are lower crankcase halves. They were easier to make than the upper halves and were made first. The one on the right is from the borrowed original engine and the one on the left is newly made. The square tab at the lower left of each is where the magneto bolts on.
Here, the crankshaft is set up on a lathe for final machining. This started life as a 900 lb. solid billet. After much whittling down, and two sessions of annealing, it will end up weighing about 48 lbs.!
So what do you think of the progress so far?!

Boxer - Below The Belt
Over the past few weeks, MusicRadar has seared eyeballs across the globe by exposing the worst album cover art in the worlds of heavy metal, hip-hop and those involving serious misuses of the noble art of drawing stuff.
Now we ramp it up a notch further by taking a peek at the bold and not-so-beautiful.
Yup, we're talkin' nudity. And lots of it.
Through the decades, the naked body has graced a multitude of album covers, and in many cases, the results have been gloriorious, wondrous sights to behold.
These ones, however, are anything but - or should we say 'butt'? No. No, we shouldn't.
No, these egregious images are horrid, mystifying and just plain stupid, the likes of which would make even Michelangelo (an unabashed rooter of all things nekkid) throw down his paintbrush and run for the hills.
Not that we should have to mention this, but the following non-objets d'art are definitely NSFW. That's N!S!F!W! So grab your laptop, head for the nearest broom closet and take it all in... if you dare. Us? We're off for a lie-down.
