- Don't complain about lack of options. You've got to pick a few when you do multiple choice. Those are the breaks.
- Feel free to suggest poll ideas if you're feeling creative. I'd strongly suggest reading the past polls first.
- This whole thing is wildly inaccurate. Rounding errors, ballot stuffers, dynamic IPs, firewalls. If you're using these numbers to do anything important, you're insane.

If one is responding to this poll, by definition the last thing one has read is something online, right? Or did Slashdot finally launch that vote-by-post card feature I requested in '98?

Actually, I'm beating up a nerd and having him write what I tell him. And the most brilliant part is that I don't even know how to read.
(please save me)
I am unable to understand why any sane man would spend reading time on anything but technical manuals.
Well, considering how many people enjoy books, and considering how almost all people enjoy fictional stories in some form, and therefore should be able to at least understand how some may enjoy written fiction, there is only one conclusion: very few men are sane..

As I read the results now, nearly 2/3 of those polled clicked something other than "Something Online" (or "Print is dead").
I know people are into multitasking today, but I never realized so many people would read a poll question on Slashdot, then go read a novel, and then come back and click the button to respond to the poll.
I'd like to see more research into this area -- perhaps polls asking questions like "What is the last thing you thought about?" or "What was the last thing you moved your mouse over?"
Eventually, we can move to the truly puzzling poll questions, like "Are you lying in your response to this poll? Yes or No."
As of this post... (Score:5, Funny)
About 63% of voters are either confused or lying...

No, this was a very sensible poll. We all know that the large majority of the people here never read the articles, so I guess that we all want to know what they did read (if anything) before responding.
It's either that, or all those comments saying RTFA are meant to be humorous.

By the highfield hotel on 29 February 2012
My name is Colin Stevens. I am proud to be the Founder & CEO of Better Bathrooms.
Starting out of my bedroom some 13 years ago I had a grand vision to disrupt the entire bathroom industry, an industry that was more focused on the convenience of the retailer, rather than the customer. We began by cutting out the middlemen and going directly to the source to reduce selling prices. By carrying over £10,000,000 worth of stock at any one time, it enabled us to offer a next day delivery service across the entire UK.
13 years later, we are the most decorated bathroom retailer in the UK with 25 awards (you can see on our awards page) in the last 2 years. Together, we have come a long way in proving we are "better" than all other bathroom retailers. We now have over 350 staff, and with our own internal transport system covering most of the UK, we offer a 2 man home delivery service* to a downstairs room of your choice.
We have never been just an online retailer. You can see the quality of our products in any of our showrooms across the UK, which are open until 10pm
weekdays, so you can pop down outside of normal working hours. To support the showrooms, we also have an award winning website that can
take your orders 24 hours a day.
It is my promise that you, the customer, will be treated with respect, courtesy, honesty and integrity.
Our main goal is to provide better prices and a better service, so if you feel we have failed in this then I would love to hear from you.
If we have failed you, I/we promise to put things right, but equally, I would also love good feedback. One of the most rewarding parts
of my day is saying well done to my hard working team!
Our 'crazy goal' as a company is to be recommended by everyone, but without hearing your feedback, good or bad, we can never
improve and never achieve this. You don't get anywhere in life without listening and understanding, the more feedback we get
the better our company will become! If you would like to contact me directly to let us know how we are performing, please email
me directly email@example.com
*Please see our delivery page for full 2 man delivery details
"It is my promise that you, the customer, will be treated with respect, courtesy, honesty and integrity."

Clarifying Misinformation Regarding Your Personal Injury Claim
A personal injuries lawyer can help you with all the complex legal matters involved in litigating a car accident personal injury case. There are a lot of misinformation regarding personal injury claims that you should be aware of. Some of this misinformation includes;
- You might not collect huge amounts of money! Insurance companies have very skilled lawyers who do nothing all day except mitigating the damages down as much as possible. The award of multi-million pound damages you may have seen on TV, or on the Internet, are extremely rare and only for the most serious cases. The bulk of the multi-million pound pay-outs are for future financial losses incurred, for example, if you can no longer work then you could claim for your wages you would have received but for the accident, or if you need permanent care or support, then you could claim for future medical care. If you are a young person, then this could amount to a serious amount of money. A good, honest personal injury lawyer will maximise the award you are entitled to.
- Damages relating to non-financial heads are limited in many jurisdictions. Just because you have experienced some pain and suffering, doesn't necessarily mean that you will be awarded damages. Of course, the more extreme the damage to you, the better chance you will have of being awarded damages. If you have been permanently scarred by fire in the accident, for example, the pain and suffering is extreme and therefore you will be in a better position to be awarded damages for non-economic reasons.
- It is not always true that holding out for a better offer is the best thing to do! There are lots of reasons why this is true. The most important thing to do when negotiating your car accident personal injury claim is to speak with a professional personal injury lawyer as soon as possible. A personal injury professional will be able to advise you on what they consider a "good" settlement amount, based upon years of experience on these matters.

Four Different Lady Falcons Net Goals as Women's Soccer Defeats Mount Olive 4-1
October 12, 2010
MISENHEIMER, NC Pfeiffer University scored four unanswered goals en route to a 4-1 win over Mount Olive College in Conference Carolinas womens soccer action on Tuesday afternoon at N.E. Lefko Field. Four different Lady Falcons registered strikes as the hosts improve to 7-5 overall, 4-2 in league play. The loss dips the Trojans to 5-7-1, 2-4.
A scoreless and quiet first half ended when both teams found the back of the net within 17 seconds of each other in the 33rd minute. Mount Olives Sarah Porter (Havelock, NC) put home her sixth of the year unassisted, taking a loose ball in all the way and sneaking her shot just inside the right post.
On the ensuing kickoff, Lady Falcon senior Megan Reaves (Mims, FL) sent a long cross over to Jessica Moulton (Huntingtown, MD) who quickly evened the contest at one with her first of the year. Pfeiffer grabbed the 2-1 halftime advantage as Moulton assisted on Mariah Martinezs (League City, TX) second of the season. After Moulton sent the pass ahead, Trojan keeper Lyndsey McIntyre (Leesburg, VA) came out charging against Martinez as both slid with Martinez getting enough of the ball directing it into the empty net.
Lindsay Godwin (Raleigh, NC) put Pfeiffer up a pair scoring her second on the year with an assist to Reaves in the 48th minute. After Reaves header was turned away by second-half keeper Meagan Robeson (Jacksonville, NC), Godwin collected the rebound and put home the shot. Freshman Joi Chrishon (Fayetteville, NC) netted her first career collegiate goal in the 75th minute as Alyssa Wombwell (Grand Blanc, MI) sent a long pass to Martinez who slid a cross over to Chrishon for the games final goal.
Winning four of their last five contests, Pfeiffer will look to continue the streak on Saturday hosting Converse. Saturday marks senior day for six Lady Falcons in the 2:00 p.m. match against the Valkyries.

These were the words of Barney Davis at his sentencing hearing in a Chattanooga, Tennessee, federal court on February 27 after being found guilty of soring horses. Last night our friends at the Humane Society of the United States released horrific undercover footage showing horses being whipped, kicked, shocked in the face, burned with caustic chemicals, and violently cracked across the head and legs with heavy wooden sticks. These are just a few of the barbaric training methods used in the walking horse industry.
What Is Soring?
Soring is a training technique that is even worse than it sounds. Painful chemicals and other devices are used to cause such agony to a horse's front limbs that any contact with the ground makes the horse quickly jerk up his or her leg. Soring is done to elicit "the big lick," a high-stepping gait prized and rewarded at horse shows. And it gets worse. To hide their cruelty, trainers also do what they euphemistically call "stewarding"—beating and inflicting even greater pain to the horses so they don't react poorly during inspection. This brutality, as captured in HSUS' footage, masks the fact that trainers are soring the animals. It sounds impossible that this practice continues, even when showing sore horses is banned by the Horse Protection Act (HPA). This practice is violent and abusive—and we will not tolerate it.
What Is the USDA Doing about It?
Last year, U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) inspectors had the resources to attend just 62 of approximately 700 walking horse shows nationwide. In addition, although the USDA promised in March to release rules that would take an important step toward enforcing the ban of these unethical and cruel practices, they have failed to do so.
While the USDA drags its feet, the 2012 walking horse season is well under way. It's time to finally take the power out of the hands of criminals! Contact your legislators today and urge them to speak out against soring and demand improvements to the 40-year-old Horse Protection Act.
Join the ASPCA Advocacy Brigade to use your voice to help these under-protected animals.
Why? Do we REALLY need to be cheaply entertained so badly?
Truly disgusting and reprehensible that anyone would even consider doing this to a helpless creature. Walking horse shows should be banned, and anyone who commits this practice should be prosecuted and receive a stiff punishment.
For reasons like these I feel the industries that exploit animals for uneccesary entertainment shouldn't be allowed to do so. Humans are supposedly superior; better. Yet we can't manage to find ways to amuse ourselves with havin animals in circuses & in poodle hair styling contests. It's ridiculous. The cruelty of human beings as a species, is greater than any other...&if you ask me, were actually the least humane species of all. Were blessed with the faculties and abilities to be better than that, but our arrogance & ignorance overrides. It saddens me; I'm ashamed
This is a horrible way to treat or attempet to train,Shame on anyone who is to try this they should never see the light of day.
I firmly believe people that do this kind of thing should be locked up forever. We need to start geting tough on these animal cruelty laws and show offenders we mean what we say and put an end to this. I am really tired of seeing things like this. You can pray for people like this, but that doesn't mean action shouldn't be taken. Enough. It needs to end.
I am not surprised. MAN seems to destroy all the beauty in their path on this planet, for pleasure and/or profit.
It makes me sick that creating so much pain for horses is what makes them do the high stepping. I am so sick of people that are evil. When will they stop hurting animals.
It's ridiculous that the organizations sponsoring these events won't police themselves of the few bad seeds that make the entire industry seem corrupt. These animals have the ability to supply the sought after high stepping gaits, raised tails beautifully positioned heads, etc. for our enjoyment without these cruel tricks. Shame on Lazy and Cruel trainers for not spending the time it takes and trying to show animals that simply are not suited for the show ring.
Although, we should oppose additional legislation and more USDA inspectors, it won't help unless the USDA begins to teach the show sponsoring organizations to police themselves.
What makes us the masters over another living creature.....the shame we should feel for letting this abuse happen. Do we really need to see these gentle animals doing things against their nature. Appreciate them as they are and treat them with respect.
Soooo why are you angry at the people who do this again? The USDA should have stricter rules and ENFORCE them if you really want to see changes. The same thing can be said about people who breed dogs and have puppy mills. They're going to keep on doing it as long as it's allowed. It makes people money and people want money.

Above: 2015 STARS Club Golf Classic. Sign up here.
Make a difference for the UIS Prairie Stars Athletics
Thank you so much for your interest in building a competitive and respected NCAA Division II program at UIS. On this page, you can read about athletic funds, including scholarships, and use Donate buttons to make a gift to each fund.
STARS Club Golf Classic
This must mean it's warming up outside: UIS Prairie Stars Athletics has scheduled the STARS Club Golf Classic for Monday, May 4, 2015, at Piper Glen Golf Course. The shot gun start is at 12 p.m., and lunch, golf and dinner is included with your registration. Here's the official sign up form. Learn more about sponsorship opportunities.
Pave the Way Fund
We invite you now to join us and become part of history as together we strive to return Prairie Star Soccer to prominence. Now that the Aydin Gonulsen scholarship has been endowed, our game plan is to raise additional funds to turf Kiwanis Stadium. We have created the Pave the Way Fund to recognize the past tradition and to assist in returning the program to prominence…brick by brick.
Other Giving Opportunities
You might also be interested in the STARS (Boosters) Club and creating a Prairie Stars Athletic Sponsorship.
Athletics Unrestricted Support
UIS Athletics Unrestricted Fund
General Athletic Scholarships
When giving to scholarship funds, your $25, $50, $100 will go into the account you choose, and that money will either go straight to the next student who gets the award (if the scholarship is current use) or into the endowed scholarship fund to add to every future award.
Rising Stars Athletic Scholarships
The fund for these scholarships includes all the money that generous supporters of UIS Athletics designate for scholarships without indicating a particular sport or scholarship fund. This means UIS Athletics is able to disperse the money where most needed to meet the financial needs of excellent student-athletes or to attract outstanding prospects to the program. As a consequence, gifts to this flexible and powerful fund are always welcome.
Ron Gibbs Athletic Scholarship
Ron Gibbs had been a Springfield resident since 1930. Before his death in 1985, Mr. Gibbs had a 50-year officiating career comprised of football and basketball games at every level. These included events with the IHSA, NIT, and NCAA as well as 15 Super Bowl games. The Ron Gibbs Athletic Scholarship was established by the Gibbs family to honor the memory of Ron and his wife, Josephine who died in 1992. Applicants for this scholarship must be student-athletes with a minimum GPA of 3.0 and a genuine interest in sports officiating.
Aydin Gonulsen Scholarship
This scholarship, for soccer athletes, honors former soccer coach Aydin Gonulsen, who began coaching soccer at UIS (then Sangamon State University) in 1977. In his first game as coach, the SSU Prairie Stars beat Bradley University 4-2. The sport continued to thrive and in 1986 the SSU Prairie Stars won their first NAIA national championship. Gonulsen went on to win National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics Men's Soccer Championships with UIS in 1986, 1988 and 1993. His 1986 team competed in the World College Championships, where UIS beat NCAA Division I champion UCLA. Thanks to the generous contributions of many past players, fans, friends, and alumni, the awards from this endowed scholarship will be matched 1:1 for the next ten years through the recently completed Access Illinois Scholarship Initiative.
Howard C. and Lynda Y. Humphrey Scholarship
Tireless and passionate supporters of UIS, Howard and Lynda Humphrey have made indelible contributions to the university, both through their generous gifts and their volunteer service. Howard, a graduate of the University of Illinois, served as Chairman of the Board, CEO and president of the Franklin Life Insurance Company. After he retired, Howard played a vital role in his community through his leadership in several businesses and civic organizations. He was also a member of the Board of Directors of the University of Illinois Foundation and founder of the UIS Development Advisory Board. Now deceased and greatly missed, he was recognized in 2002 with the Distinguished Service Award from the University of Illinois Alumni Association. Lynda Humphrey continues her commitment to UIS, especially through the family's endowed scholarships for global experience, legal studies (in memory of daughter Lee Humphrey Dodd), and this scholarship for student-athletes. The Howard C. and Lynda Y. Humphrey Scholarship was established in 2002 to provide student-athletes with funds to assist in their academic endeavors while participating in the athletic programs at UIS. The general student population is considered upon lack of a suitable student-athlete.
Lorber Family Scholarship Fund: AN ACCESS ILLINOIS Matched Fund
Jeff and Sandy Lorber came to Springfield in 2012, when Jeff began his work at UIS as Vice Chancellor for Development and at the University of Illinois Foundation as Senior Vice President. The Lorbers are providing a scholarship for UIS student-athletes because they believe athletics help round out the complete student experience both for students who compete and for students who support the Prairie Stars teams.
Jack Marantz Scholarship Fund: An ACCESS ILLINOIS Matched Fund
When the Marantz family sought to commemorate the life of former WWII marine and CEO of the Bank of Springfield, Jack Marantz, they decided upon an avenue that would perpetuate two of his driving passions: sports and education. The senior Marantz, who considered himself to have been an at-risk student in high school, strongly believed that sports help students stay out of trouble. The Jack Marantz Memorial Scholarship was established by Jack Marantz's son, Tom, to encourage and support UIS student-athletes. This endowed scholarship qualifies for the Access Illinois Match Program. Scholarships produced by the endowed fund will be matched for the next ten years.
Marsaglia Scholarship Fund: An ACCESS ILLINOIS Matched Fund
Donated by Frank Marsaglia, Head Men's Golf Coach at UIS, this scholarship is for undergraduate athletes with financial need. Because it qualifies for the Access Illinois match, the scholarship will have twice the impact for each year of Mr. Marsaglia's pledge.
Paul O'Shea Athletic Scholarship Fund: An ACCESS ILLINOIS Matched Fund
Unrestricted support for undergraduate athletes with financial need. You can add to Mr. O'Shea's generous gift in any amount using the Donate button above.
Mallory Pate Memorial Scholarship Access Illinois Fund: An ACCESS ILLINOIS Matched Fund
Unrestricted support for undergraduate athletes with financial need. Created by UIS Athletic Director Kim Pate and her husband Rick in honor of Rick's father, Mallory, this scholarship and others for athletes help to recruit excellent athletes and build great teams.
Bill and Nancy Simpson Endowed Athletic Scholarship: An ACCESS ILLINOIS Matched Fund
Bill and Nancy Simpson have been generous with their time and commitment to UIS, with Bill having served on the UIS Development Advisor Board and Nancy actively involved in support of UIS. Their gifts to UIS have provided support for the Sangamon Auditorium, the Office of the Chancellor, and Athletics. Because they have served on the boards of a variety of organizations and institutions, they appreciate UIS' need for unrestricted funds which allow leaders on campus to decide how best to use funds. This scholarship is an example. They created the scholarship for any undergraduate athlete with financial need regardless of sport. Because the fund is endowed, the Match Program will match the amount of the scholarship 1:1 for the next TEN years. Thank you!
Staley Family Athletic Scholarship: An ACCESS ILLINOIS Matched Fund
Unrestricted for undergraduate athletes with financial need. The Staley Family has had an athletic scholarship for several years. To qualify for the match program, they increased the amount of their gift, which will now be doubled in its impact. Thank you!
Guerry L. Suggs and Jo A. Alessandrini Athletic Scholarship: An ACCESS ILLINOIS Matched Fund
Guerry Suggs and Jo Alessandrini have been good friends to UIS. Guerry and his first wife, Michelle (deceased) funded the Michelle M. and Guerry L. Suggs WUIS Performing Arts Studio. Now Guerry and Jo have provided a generous scholarship for undergraduate athletes with financial need. Currently being funded under a five-year pledge, the resulting scholarship will qualify for the Access Illinois 1:1 match which will double the impact of the scholarship for ten years.
Turanchik Scholarship: An ACCESS ILLINOIS Matched Fund
This scholarship is for an undergraduate student-athlete with financial need. The scholarship will be matched through the Access Illinois Scholarship Initiative. The donor, George Turanchik, is the father of UIS' former goalkeeper, Jack Turanchik. It's always so nice to have support from students' parents. Thank you!
Unes Family Athletic Scholarship: An ACCESS ILLINOIS Matched Fund
This scholarship is for an undergraduate student-athlete with financial need. The scholarship will be matched through the Access Illinois Scholarship Initiative. This is another scholarship donated in honor of a former student, this time Adam Unes, a member of the Prairie Stars baseball team who received the UIS Coach's Award in 2012. Thank you, Mr. and Mrs. Unes, for this scholarship.
Manny Velasco Scholarship
Manny Velasco, who retired this year, was tennis coach at UIS since 1980. Well known throughout Springfield for his generosity and support for the sport of tennis, Manny has been an integral part of the success of Prairie Star Athletics and the development of UIS student-athletes. Manny has rightfully become known as the "dean" of the UIS coaching staff. With the support of his many former student-athletes and other friends and admirers, this scholarship is now endowed, and because it qualifies for an Access Illinois Scholarship match, the award from the scholarship will be matched for the next ten years. Cheers to all who donated to make this happen in time!

Over the following 20 years since their inception, the men's team has been represented by at least one member of the team to the NAIA nationals for 20 years, and the women have been represented nationally for at least 15 years. The Tracy Tennis Scholarship has been established to build upon the Prairie Stars' winning tradition by allowing UIS coaches to pursue some of the top tennis high school athletes in the state.

Michael Rowe PhD
Associate Professor of Psychiatry; Co-Director, Program for Recovery and Community Health; Principal Investigator, CMHC Citizenship Project
Biographical Info
My research interests and training have been influenced by my work running social service organizations and of being a writer prior to becoming a medical sociologist. While en route to a Ph.D. with a focus of ethnography and "qualitative" interviewing, my combined experience running agencies, writing, and engaging in research helped me land a job as Director of the Connecticut Mental Health Center's mental health outreach team through its participation in a national research demonstration project to evaluate services for people with mental illnesses who are homeless. Through this project I studied the encounters of people who are homeless and outreach workers as social and identity encounters that take place at the social, physical, and economic margins of society. Having recognized, along with its strengths, the limitations of outreach work—that helping people find housing does not, in itself, lead to their community integration or full community membership, I developed a theoretical framework of citizenship. I then applied this framework to several research projects, most recently development of an individual outcome measure of citizenship. In addition, personal experience of a family member's illness led me to write about, and conduct research on, patient-doctor relationships, high technology medicine, and medical error.

Faculty Writing Retreat
Faculty Writing Retreat
The Faculty Writing Retreat offers you the opportunity to commit to a day of writing surrounded by your colleagues who will have made the same commitment as you. Published research – and our own experience from previous St. John's Faculty Writing Initiative writing retreats we've held – tells us the positive energy of being around faculty peers who are also writing (and struggling to write) helps faculty get substantial work done, even in one day.
As to the schedule for the retreat, you will arrive and begin writing. We are certain there will be much writing advice to be shared during lunch, which will be served at 12:30pm. We hope you will be able to join us. Please remember that participation is limited; to register go to http://campusguides.stjohns.edu/ctlevents. If you have any questions, email Anne Geller (firstname.lastname@example.com) or Maura Flannery (firstname.lastname@example.com).
If you would like to learn more about writing retreats or you are interested in research about faculty writing productivity, go to the CTL Forum Writing Page at http://stjohns.campusguides.com/aecontent.php?pid=71651&sid=589816.
If you have any questions please contact the CTL at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Friday, August 22
10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Van der Walt has matured into one of the brightest loose-forward prospects in Bloemfontein.
The 103kg, 1.94m flank is strong and elusive with ball in hand, and often gives his team the momentum to break the opposition's defensive lines.
Van der Walt struggled to adapt to a tight game in his first season with the union, but after putting in some hard work, he became the incumbent No 7 for the Free State U21 side this season, and was equally suitable for a tight or loose game.
Van der Walt started his schoolboy career at pivot and was only selected as a flank once he started high school at Adelaide Gymnasium in the Eastern Cape. The 20-year-old says that backline experience enabled him to develop into an attacking flank.
'It has definitely helped my offensive game,' he says. 'I like stepping and running into spaces. I also have good handling skills, so my biggest strength is to have possession. But I'm also a good defender.'
Van der Walt earned provincial colours in 2006 and 2007 for EP's Academy and Craven Week sides respectively. However, bigger opportunities at the Cheetahs and the chance to study Human Resource Management part time at Free State University, saw him decide to continue his career in Bloemfontein.
From there, he travelled to Argentina with the Baby Boks provisional U20 World Cup squad in 2009, but was left out of the final squad that reached the semi-finals in Japan.
Van der Walt has Currie Cup and Super 14 ambitions and Free State U21 coach Pine Pienaar believes the flank can achieve those goals in the near future.
'Philip is in the same mould as Juan Smith, as he is a strong ball-carrier and provides an extra lineout option,' he says. 'I think he will get an opportunity in the Currie Cup within the next two seasons. Hopefully with that experience, he can become a top-class loose forward. He's definitely one to look out for in the future.'
The Cheetahs already have formidable loose forwards, with Smith and Frans Viljoen having a monopoly on the No 7 jersey, but Van der Walt says this will inspire him to work even harder.
'There is a lot of competition for that position, but that motivates me. Guys like Juan and Frans are impact players, while I'm more of an attacking flank. As a young player, hopefully I can bring something different to the team when I do get the opportunity.'

OMB directs agencies to stop most discretionary bonuses under sequestration
Thursday - 2/28/2013, 7:55am EST
Federal employees will no longer receive discretionary cash awards unless the agency is required under law to do so under new guidance issued by the Office of Management and Budget late Wednesday.
With no solution to stop cuts from sequestration in sight, OMB is instructing agencies to take specific steps to achieve the $85 billion in reduced spending by Sept. 30.
Discretionary bonuses is one of three areas OMB Controller Danny Werfel highlighted where agencies should place "increased scrutiny." The other two areas are the hiring of new employees and new training, conferences or travel.
"In light of the reduced budgetary resources available due to sequestration, expending funds on these activities at this time would in many circumstances not be the most effective way to protect agency mission to the extent practicable," Werfel wrote to agency and department heads. "Therefore, agency leadership should review processes and controls around these activities and ensure that these activities are conducted only to the extent they are the most cost-effective way to maintain critical agency mission operations under sequestration."
The four-page memo is the fourth sequestration-related guidance from OMB over the last six months. The difference is this one gives agencies more concrete instructions on how to handle everything from personnel to contracts to communications with employee unions and employees.
OMB estimates that the effective percentage reductions are approximately 9 percent for nondefense programs and 13 percent for Defense programs over the next seven months.
Sequestration volleyball continues
President Barack Obama said Wednesday night at the Business Council dinner that during the first month of sequestration few businesses will feel the full impact of the cuts. But, he warned, the reduced spending would take its toll on all parts of the economy.
"[I]f you look right now at what our economy needs, taking $85 billion out of it over the next six months — indiscriminately, arbitrarily, without a strategy behind it — that's not a smart thing to do if we're serious about making sure that America grows and that our middle class is thriving and there are ladders of opportunity into the middle class," Obama said.
Speaker of the House John Boehner (R-Ohio) said yesterday on CBS News that the White House and the Senate must pass "a credible plan" to replace the sequester.
The Senate will vote Thursday on a bill, S. 388, the American Family Economic Protection Act of 2013, that would end the sequester in 2013, raise taxes and among other things split $55 billion in cuts evenly among Defense and civilian agencies over a longer time frame.
Obama and lawmakers from both sides of the aisle will meet Friday to discuss how to avoid a government shutdown on March 27, when the current continuing resolution expires.
House to vote on new CR
That March 27 deadline now looms large to both Congress and the White House as a real deadline to find a compromise.
Republicans are planning for a vote next week on a bill to fund the day-to-day operations of the government through the Sept. 30 end of the 2013 fiscal year, while keeping in place the new $85 billion in cuts.
Until the two sides can come to an agreement, OMB wants agencies to make tangible progress toward the top-line reductions.
"Planning efforts should be done with sufficient detail and clarity to determine the specific actions that will be taken to operate under the lower level of budgetary resources required by sequestration," Werfel wrote. "[A]gency heads must also ensure that their agencies have risk management strategies and internal controls in place that provide heightened scrutiny of certain types of activities funded from sequestered accounts."
He said among the steps agencies should take is to determine which contracts or grants they plan to cancel, re-scope or delay.
"Program, acquisition, financial/budget management, information technology and legal personnel should work together to make determinations regarding contracts in light of sequestration," Werfel wrote. "As a general matter, agencies should only enter into new contracts or exercise options when they support high-priority initiatives or where failure to do so would expose the government to significantly greater costs in the future."
OMB also highlights the option of terminating contracts for convenience if funds are no longer available in fiscal 2013 and no other options exist to reduce costs.
Werfel said when it comes to employees, agencies should add some specifics to the furlough plan, including who would need to take time off, how many days they would need to take, when furlough notices will be issued and the implementation of furloughs.
"In some cases, agencies may not be able to ascertain all of this information prior to March 1," he said. "However, agencies should continue to engage in intense and thorough planning activities to determine all specific actions that will be taken as soon as practicable."

After holding Waterford on their first possession, Southern took over at the Wildcats 48 yard line to begin their second possession. Tyler Barton would add his first score of the night on a 14 yard touchdown run with 4:52 remaining in the first quarter. Trenton Deem added the extra point kick to give Southern the 13-0 lead.
Waterford was ago forced to punt on their next drive, but the Tornadoes were unable to score on the resulting possession. Southern turned the ball over on downs inside the Waterford 15 yard line. After another Waterford punt Southern took possession at their own 34 yard line.

The Wildcats advanced to the Southern 23 yard line, before throwing an interception by Southern's Colten Walters on a third down play from the Southern 28 yard line.
Neither team would score in the remainder of the third quarter.
Barton added his third touchdown of the night on a 34 yard run with 8:40 remaining in the game.
After a Waterford punt, Southern's junior varsity players took to the field for the final drive.
Jaylen Blanks ran the ball consistently on the drive, taking the ball to the end zone on three separate occasions, with each being called back on penalties.
While it cannot be confirmed officially, it was announced at the conclusion of the contest that Southern is headed for the postseason for the first time in school history.
