Had my longest drive to the bushes in the ditch (maybe 30' short of the road) then threw a comet turnover bomb that had to be just over or just to one side, as it ended up about 30' behind the basket in line with it. I was stunned!
Fittingly, I missed the comeback putt for a 4.
But hey, I was able to do something that only a few people have done before--throw past the hole in 2! Wahoo!

The period will be effective until the Center for Volcanology and Geological Hazard Mitigation lifts the warning, the Jakarta Post reported.
The most recent eruption occurred Tuesday and lasted for 20 minutes, local authorities said.
No casualties were reported, and at least 1,700 people from the surrounding area in North Sumatra had been evacuated.
Two other eruptions occurred Monday night, the Post said.
The volcano began erupting in mid-September after being inactive since August 2010, when several people were killed in an explosion.

2010 census missed more than 1.5M minorities
Tuesday - 5/22/2012, 7:29pm EDT
By HOPE YEN
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) - The 2010 census missed more than 1.5 million minorities after struggling to count black Americans, Hispanics, renters and young men, but was mostly accurate, the government said Tuesday.
The Census Bureau released an extensive assessment of its high-stakes, once-a-decade headcount of the U.S. population. Based on a sample survey, the government analysis has been a source of political controversy in the past over whether to "statistically adjust" census results to correct for undercounts, which usually involve minorities who tend to vote Democratic.
The findings show the 2010 census over-counted the total U.S. population by 36,000 people, or 0.01 percent, due mostly to duplicate counts of affluent whites owning multiple homes. That is an improvement from a census over-count of 0.5 percent in 2000.
However, the census missed about 2.1 percent of black Americans and 1.5 percent of Hispanics, together accounting for some 1.5 million people. The percentages are statistically comparable to 2000, despite an aggressive advertising and minority outreach effort in 2010 that pushed total census costs to an unprecedented $15 billion.
Also undercounted were about 5 percent of American Indians living on reservations and nearly 2 percent of minorities who marked themselves as "some other race."
"While the overall coverage of the census was exemplary, the traditional hard-to-count groups, like renters, were counted less well," Census Bureau director Robert Groves said. "Because ethnic and racial minorities disproportionately live in hard-to-count circumstances, they too were undercounted relative to the majority population."
"Our belief is that without our outreach, our numbers would have been much, much worse," he added.
The South, led by the District of Columbia, Texas, Georgia, Virginia, North Carolina and Florida, was more likely to have people who were missed. The Midwest and Northeast as a whole posted small over-counts.
The findings come after more than 100 cities including New York challenged the official 2010 results as too low.
The Census Bureau, which recently rejected New York's request to revise the city's count, says the latest analysis will not affect the government's official U.S. population tally of 308.7 million but it will be used to improve the 2020 count. Nor will the analysis affect how the federal government distributes more than $400 billion to states for roads, schools and social programs.
"We remain deeply troubled by the persistent and disproportionate undercount of our most vulnerable citizens _ people of color, very young children and low-income Americans," said Marc Morial, president of the National Urban League and chairman of the Census Bureau's 2010 Census Advisory Committee. "At a minimum, the census should have the ability to make an adjustment in the official count to ensure that these individuals enjoy the political representation and fiscal resources to which they are entitled."
The Supreme Court ruled in 1999 that federal law barred the use of sample surveys to adjust census results for purposes of allocating House seats; it left the door open to adjustments for other uses such as congressional redistricting or distribution of federal funds. Shortly after taking office in mid-2009, Groves ruled out statistical adjustments in 2010 for redistricting, citing a lack of preparation time.
On Tuesday, the Census Bureau noted how its efforts to count U.S. residents have improved over time. An undercount of the total U.S. population reached as high as 5.4 percent in 1940, the first time the accuracy of a census was formally measured, and then gradually decreased before an over-count was posted in 2000. American blacks are still the most likely to be missed; their undercounts have improved from a high of 8.4 percent in 1940 but at a slower pace than that of whites.
The government takes a census survey every 10 years. The bureau sends census takers and questionnaires to every U.S. household, though not everyone responds. In 2010, the government faced special challenges of counting transient families displaced by widespread mortgage foreclosures, non-English speaking immigrants fearful of enforcement raids and distrustful Americans opposed to government surveys.
Among the findings:
_Renters were undercounted by 1.1 percent, while homeowners were over-counted by 0.6 percent.
_Broken down by age, men 18 to 29 and 30 to 49 were more likely to be missed in 2010 than other age groups, while women 30 to 49 were over-counted; that is a pattern consistent with 2000. Adults 50 and older had over-counts of their population, while some young children ages 4 and under were missed.
_The District of Columbia had the highest shares of people who were missed, at 2.2 percent. West Virginia had the highest over-count of its population, at 1.4 percent.

In 1985, I shot someone.
It happened outside the Rustic Inn, a bar in an unincorporated section of
Moments before the shooting, I had been in a barroom brawl. My friend
Three guys walked in and began staring at us.
I'm not a great brawler, but I'm a good friend, and I couldn't let
It just so happened I had an AK-47 in my trunk that night. Two days earlier, my cousin
As the three guys got to their car, I popped that trunk. I fired 17 rounds, I later discovered. I tell myself I fired to scare them off, not to hit or kill. But one 7.62-mm bullet hit a leg. Another busted a window and went into the wall of a room where two people were lying. I could have killed them both.
I was arrested for several crimes, including attempted murder. I faced 15 to life. I remember hoping, wishing, even praying I would only get six years in prison and do three.
But because my father paid $5,000 for a lawyer, because of a "them or me" argument, a plea deal, and because I'm Caucasian, I got 30 days in the county jail. Thirty days! If I was black and had a public defender, no doubt I'd have been Folsom-bound.
I quit drinking after that. In the 1990s, I was a reporter for the Los Angeles Times covering
They wrote back. They were not forgotten. They appreciated it. Some shouldn't have been in prison. Others, like me, should have.
Never one to analyze my actions too closely, it wasn't until a couple of years ago that it struck me that one reason I wrote those letters was because it could've been me in there. It wasn't that I felt guilty. I was guilty. It could have been me thinking, "I'm gone and forgotten." How good it would have been to get a letter, to get 20 bucks, to get a book that would take me outside the prison walls for 300 pages.
My sobriety lasted years. Then I decided I could handle a beer, a glass or two of red wine, and still stop. Surprise! I couldn't. So, after a few months of drinking, I'd quit again for month or two. This went on for years. I never intended to quit for good. I was just "on the wagon" and looking forward to tumbling off.
But earlier this year, I went on a wretched binge. Two 750s of Smirnoff ruined my balance. I tripped and cracked open the back of my head on the bedroom dresser. Blood spurted onto three walls. My girlfriend was out of town, but my sister, warned by worried friends, came to the house that day. She walked into that horrific scene. She got me to an emergency room. Twelve staples in my head.
That was eight months ago. I quit drinking. Again. But now I no longer say I'm on the wagon. I say, "After a long and storied career, I have retired."
I know I can't drink anymore. I also know that maybe I will.
I bring all this up because those letters I sent to prisons paid off recently. I heard from an inmate, Kevin "Big Cat" Doucette, a legendary shot caller for one of
He's also my friend. I've known him for 17 years. Somehow, Cat heard of my latest, inglorious Smirnoff defeat and sent a letter that inspired me to stay sober more than any AA testimony group session.
After two paragraphs describing life in federal prison, he switched his tone. Here's what he wrote, as he wrote it:
"My dude, you and drinking, yall dont go together at all. ... Anything that you cant control that controls you; that aint tha set, Mike! I've got love for you, so when I speak as I do, know that I mean nothing but good: find you another high in life. A positive one ... try life itself. My Man, we both know that life is to short as it is for us to be twisted on anything, fo real it is."
I keep that letter in my wallet. It reminds me of drinking. It reminds me of prison. It reminds me of two people lying in a room my bullets invaded.

FreeNAS 0.685b released
After a long time and hard work we've released a new beta version of FreeNAS. It includes many new features and hopefully less bugs than the previous version.
You can have a look on the changes here:
Convertion to sysvinit nearly completed
The boot code currently used in FreeNAS has been nearly completely converted into shell scripts. This has been done to use the FreeBSD sysvinit system and to make FreeNAS working more like FreeBSD. This enables us to provide the ability to use the FreeBSD package system without any big code changes. Because of the FreeNAS system architecture this is only possible on the new harddisk installation option that will be provided with 0.685b.

May plastic be under your Christmas tree. And for those of you who have to do the Holiday Shuffle, It'll all be over soon. And tell your drunk uncle to take the missletoe off of his belt buckle. No drinking and driving, and remember to remind the wife that the thing she only does on your birthday and Christmas...well, IT'S CHRISTMAS! See ya next year. Or hopefully at the meeting on Thursday. Never been there at Roosters. Are my kids welcome (is the environment good for baby's)? They're 1 1/2 and 3 1/2. I'd rather not bring them but may have to if I don't want to miss out.

Havelock wrestlers won the close matches against West Craven Tuesday night, and in the end, kept their quest for a Coastal 3A Conference championship alive.
Javar Godette and Ramone Lawson won the final two matches of the night, sending the Rams to a 33-29 victory over the Eagles at Havelock High.
"Pressure doesn't bother them," Havelock coach Tommy Andrews said of Godette and Lawson. "They're both cool-headed. That's just how they wrestle."
The Rams trailed 29-27 with two weight classes remaining. Godette got two takedowns in the third period to defeat Cody Cooke 6-3, putting Havelock on top 30-29 with Lawson's match against Robert Baker at 145 pounds deciding the outcome. Lawson held a 2-1 advantage through the second period and then got an escape and a takedown in the third period to win 5-1, giving the Rams the 33-29 victory.
"That happens a lot where we get down and have to come back where the heart of our lineup lies, right in the center," Andrews said. "We end up having to fight back a lot. That's nothing new to us."
The difference in the match was Havelock's ability to win tight matches — along with Godette and Ramone, John Ellis (160) won 5-4 with an escape in the final 10 seconds of his match — and get pins, with Kevin Garay (152), Kendall Frazier (182), Ben Dixon (195) and Tyler Bullock (220) getting six-point victories.
And that same time, West Craven managed just one pin, that from heavyweight Skyler Furphy.
"Everybody gave us a full six minutes," Andrews said. "Nobody quit. Nobody gave up. We didn't give up pins and we didn't give up tech falls, which was huge considering how close the score was."
The Eagles trailed 27-9 but stormed back in the lower weights, getting a forfeit victory from Tyler Bird (106) and decision victories from Darrin Mewborn (113), Gabe Pierre (120), Daniel Adams (126) and Dillon Maravelous (132) to pull ahead before the final two matches.
"We gave up pins when we shouldn't have and we didn't score bonus points when we had the opportunity," West Craven coach John Honbarrier said. "That's what wrestling's about. You can't give up points and you've got to score points. We lost a close one. I feel like we could have wrestled better."
With the victory, Havelock improves to 3-1 in the conference, a half-game behind leading West Carteret and tied with Swansboro.
The Rams are scheduled to host New Bern in a non-conference match at 6:30 p.m. Friday and participate in the Winter Duals at West Carteret Saturday before hosting White Oak at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday.

Maybe we can start with thinking about Dr. Harris's peaks and valleys. To remind, we may not be able to imagine circumstances that would be the peaks and the valleys but we can at least rate things above or below each other. So with our full capabilities a person imagines the best scenario they can, as well as the worst. Lets say a bird does the same. Clearly our range is much more vast but this suggests that there is a blurred line holding our individual limits of experience. So if scenarios appeared to both the human and the bird, even worse than we both individually imagined, but still falling within our capabilities of mind, then the worst situations for the bird and us would be different but still the most terrible things that could befall us.
What I'm getting to is that the worst possible moments for the bird are synonymous with the worst possible experiences for us (although these situations are very different and much atrocious for us only because we are lucid enough to have the experience), no matter the differences in the ranges between the bird and a human, certain situations are still the worst (or best) for our complexities limits.
How can we designate which conscious beings are more important based upon their range of experience? If it were to evolve later on then it would set the new peaks and valleys with its new insight. This doesn't mean that its previous peaks weren't actually peaks, but that the peaks are evolving harmonious to our complexity and imagination. The moment the being can imagine more its more complicated, and a new limit is set, both more wondrous and horrendous. Right?

Phillips Finishes 3rd Overall as Women's Cross Country Places 2nd at Greensboro Invite
September 27, 2009
GREENSBORO, N.C. - The Pfeiffer University women's cross country team competed Saturday afternoon at the Greensboro Cross Country Invitational at Hagan Stone Park. Pfeiffer finished 2nd to Concord University out of West Virginia in an eight team field, two points ahead of third place St. Augustine's College.
For the day, the Lady Falcons posted four personal record performances, including freshman Lindsey Phillips, who finished first for Pfeiffer was 3rd overall with a time of 19:34. Kaitlyn Mullis second on the team in 11th overall with a personal best 21:09 followed by Magen Abernathy in 13th with a 21:25. "I told Lindsey she needed to start strong - and after the first 400 meters she was leading the race," recounts head coach Scott Nolt.
Freshman Yasmin Ingram from Parkland High School finished fourth on the squad with a 22:38, nearly three minutes faster than her best time from high school. "I think Yasmin surprised herself today with her finish. She is a very talented runner who really stepped up for us today," stated coach Nolt. Pfeiffer's fifth place runner was Chelsea Tysinger, in her first race of the season after a knee injury sidelined her for the first month. Tysinger finished 34th with a time of 24:02. April Hinson finished sixth for Pfeiffer with a personal best time of 24:30.
Post-race, coach Nolt was very pleased. "The girls continued to step up in the face of adversity. I think we have had two girls who haven't been sick or injured in the last two weeks." Pfeiffer had four runners who didn't compete due to injury.
Pfeiffer runs again this Friday October 2nd at McAlpine Creek Park in Charlotte, NC where they will get to compete on the course that will host the Conference Carolinas meet later in October.

They're back.
Many of the residents of the Lincoln City neighborhood in Kinston who left town — and those who moved elsewhere in the city following the 1999 flood — got back together this weekend for the sixth annual Lincoln City Reunion.
"I was born and raised there, and I enjoyed every minute until the big one came," said Joseph Green, who moved to
People gathered at
"You know, it was the kind of place where it was a safe neighborhood — we were very protective of one another," former resident Mildred Brown said. "Back in those days, adults looked out for children, so you didn't want that adult to find out, because that adult would tell your mama, if they didn't spank your little behind themselves."
Brown lived in
"It has been fantastic — there's a guy here today, I haven't seen him since we lived back there," Brown said. "And I went to school with his sister. Every year, you're going to see people you haven't seen, and then you're going to see people you only see at the reunion."
Charlie Moye moved back to the area from
"It's been beautiful. Sometimes you don't see each other from one end of the year to the next," he said. "But tomorrow, we'll get together over at the Holloway place and we'll see a lot of them we haven't seen in quite a few years."
About 4,000 people are expected to attend the reunion this year.

A "friend" of the royal couple told the British paper that Kate announced the date at a family barbecue, The Daily Mail reported Sunday.
"Some of Kate and William's closest pals were at a barbecue hosted by a family friend of the Royals recently," the source said.
"They were all discussing the fact that Kate's baby is due to be born on July 13. Everyone was very excited," the source added.
A July 13 due date puts the royal baby's birth smack dab into the middle of Queen Elizabeth's Coronation Festival, which celebrates 60 years since she was crowned. The festival takes place from July 11 to July 14.
"'We have only said that the Duchess is due in July. Anything further would be speculation," a palace rep said of the report.
While royal representatives have yet confirmed the baby's sex, one report has suggested that William and Kate might be expecting a boy.
A source told People last week that Prince Harry has been telling everyone he's excited about the prospect of a nephew.

Pfeiffer Stumbles at Home Against Francis Marion
April 16, 2014
MISENHEIMER, N.C. – The Francis Marion bats were too much for the Falcons as the Patriots downed Pfeiffer 23-4 on Wednesday at Joe Ferebee Field. With the loss the Falcons fall to 26-19 on the season while the Patriots improve to 23-19.
Francis Marion put Pfeiffer in an early hole in the first as they scored one run off of two hits to take the 1-0 edge.
The Falcons responded however, when Anthony Allende roped a sharp line drive down the right field line bringing home Tyler Summers for the game tying run.
The Patriots reclaimed the lead for good in the third inning, scoring six runs on four hits and two Falcon errors.
Pfeiffer edged one run closer in the bottom of the fourth inning when Kyle Hackney singled through the right side, bringing home Brett Miller from second.
Francis Marion outscored the Falcons 16-2 over the next five innings, en route to their 23-4 victory.
Tyler Lequire was summoned from the pen in the third inning as he gave up six runs, one earned, on four hits. With the outing, Lequire suffers his second loss on the season, falling to 4-2.
Pfeiffer was led offensively by Allende who went 2-for-3 with two RBIs. Allende also pitched two and one-third innings giving up only one run.
Summers continued to swing a hot bat as he went 3-for-5 on the evening with one run scored.
The Falcons return to action Friday, April 18 as they play host to Lenoir-Rhyne Bears. First pitch is set for 3:30 p.m.

MEBANE — If hitting 3s can become contagious for the Eastern Alamance boys' basketball team, the Eagles reached epidemic levels Monday night.
Eastern Alamance bombarded Orange with 13 successful 3-pointers in a 73-52 victory against Orange in the first round of the Class 3-A state playoffs.
The long-range assault started early, with Malcolm Summers knocking down a 3 from the corner on the first possession of the game. It began a stretch where the first eight field goals from Eastern Alamance (23-5) came from behind the arc.
"Malcolm hit the first one and they all just started falling," said Eagles guard Lamont Robinson, who led the way with 24 points.
Summers finished with 10 points, adding another 3 in the early in the fourth quarter. John Lamot also accounted for 10 points and two 3-pointers. Sae'Quahn Rogers, Chris Wright and Joey Lanier each added a 3-pointer.
Robinson made six of his seven attempts from long range — his only miss coming on what he confirmed was a "heat check" moment in the second half.
"We want to keep building on that. That's just one game, we've still got another Wednesday," Robinson said.
Eastern Alamance plays host to Southern Lee in the next round.
If Monday serves as a foundation, Eastern Alamance has a solid building block. While a 21-point victory is impressive in itself, the Eagles led by as many as 39 in the fourth quarter before coach Jay McPherson was able to rest his starters.
"Playing for the next game, so the more people we can put in there and play, the better," McPherson said. "The more we can save our legs, you've gotta feel better about it."
Orange coach Greg Motley said there were some things his team had prepared for — and one obvious surprise.
"We prepared for a whole lot of stuff, but we definitely were not prepared for them to come out shooting the ball like that," Motley said. "So that put a little wrinkle in how we wanted to play."
The Panthers (10-15) tried to use a 2-3 zone defense in the first half, to no avail when Eastern Alamance nailed nine 3s. Orange switched to a man-to-man defense in the second half, with the results were still the same.
"Even when they switched to man later in the game, we called a play and (Robinson) came off the screen and hit one," McPherson said.
Summers, a running back on the football team, said it was easy to draw off the Eagles' loss to Orange in the third round of the state playoffs.
"It did (add) a whole lot of incentive because we lost to them in the playoffs," Summers said. "So it was kind of a pride game."
Keegan Crabtree led Orange with 12 points and Gerrell Satterwhite added 10 points.

Find the dirty.
I went for a walk the other day with friends. Turns out, Ohio has cool parks! Yay.
I used to spend a lot of time in the woods, so it was sort of blast from the past. Except … there was just … something …
About halfway through our walk, I figured out why it felt a bit different: no birds!
The birds leave Ohio in late fall/winter as it gets fucking cold. Ah-ha!
If I could write on a tree (and I can, so maybe I will), I would write: Some days I write words no one will read but you.
And then! Many people would read those words. Maybe they would feel special. Or they would roll their eyes. Or they would pull out their blade and etch "QUEEF".

Has anyone noticed how much more stable the first run Star Destroyers are compared to the second run Destroyers? It takes a little effort for me to flip the first runs. But I can't seem to get the second run to come back left.
Has anyone noticed how much more stable the first run Star Destroyers are compared to the second run Destroyers? It takes a little effort for me to flip the first runs. But I can't seem to get the second run to come back left.
Eric Gallusser
Yeah, most of the first runs were over weight and illeagl. Be sure to weigh them. Some were upward of 180g.
"...a glass can only spill what it contains..."
I traded Keith my first run star destroyer at FDGO and he lost it this past weekend. The guy called me yesterday (it had my name and number on the back) and I sent a pm to Keith so he could get it back. I bought a new one and love it. I couldn't throw the first run one backhand or forehand. Weird. Maybe it's the custom dye that makes it fly.
Jason Van Over
The star destroyer is amazing. i threw it like my normal throw and it added a good 60 feet to my throw. this thing is amazing and i love it.
Adam Cummings
Yeah its added at least 60 to my throw if not more........
However its still a hard disc to learn. I have to constantly remind myself every time I throw it that it dosent require me to throw any harder than any other disc I carry.
When you think extra distance, the first thing that comes to mind is throw harder. Not true with this disc. My XL is the longest disc I carried until I got the Destroyer. I dont have to throw the destroyer any harder than the XL and I gain 60+ ft?
My first run Destroyer tipped the scales at 190G when I used the digi's at work. I sold it to a big arm for a NICE profit. My next Destroyer came in saying 168 and actually weighs 169 and I can finally throw it. It still doesn't fit in my grip right so I'm back to the Wraith and Tee-Rex.
So who says that there illegal? The pdga did not say anything about them being illegal. I cannot part with mine. I'm not exactly sure how much it weighs but it is definetly heavier than 175g.
SOME of the first runs were molded to heavy 178g to 180g is the MAX that was released. They are only legal to 176g. If yours weighs more than than 176g you can send it back to Innova and they should replace it.
"...a glass can only spill what it contains..."
Question is who in there right mind is going to call someone out on this matter. Mine says 175g and I cant tell any significant weight difference from other discs around that weight. However 5g isnt something the human hand can tell a difference in.
What im saying is that no one in there right mind is going to carry a scale with them just call someone out on this. So how exactly does anyone prove these to be Illegal? Or do you just throw a ban on all of these discs. Sounds to me like Innova made one big mistake. I cant see how this ever got out the doors. Someone obviously wasn't doing there job to well or they have some malfunctioning equipment. Either way it's Innova's fault!!!!!
Plus im not going to package up a disc I use regularly and send it to Innova. Than I'd have to wait for weeks for a new one to be sent back. Sounds like Innova is wanting the impossible, or at least in my mind.
I say screw it and throw Discraft!!!!!!!
It's only 1 of 3 Innova discs I throw so poop on it if it is Illegal!!!!!
Not to mention how many people own or have use to scales that read grams?
Certain events have weigh ins where you weigh ALL of your discs before you play. As a TD I recieved a sheet that has a list of ALL legal discs and their weight that they are legal to. I have scales that messure in grams. DLG does too. So does any Post Office.
I think it would be VERY unlikely for anyone to EVER get called on this but if they did...they would incure strokes to their score.
Discraft has released discs that weigh more than their legal weight. They do it ALL the time. They just don't bother being humble enough to make a public announcement about it. They have gotten so inconsistant in their weighing process that they don't even tell you the weight anymore...they give you a weight range (172-175). But in all honesty ALL disc companys have this problem due to the fact that it's hard to get an accurate weight when you're mass producing something.

Four months ago, the curtain appeared to be closing on an eatery that had taken center stage in downtown Gastonia's former Webb Theater.
Desperate to see the abandoned building given new life in 2010, the city had lent restaurateur Nick LaVecchia $700,000 in federal funds to revamp its historic movie hall into Nick's Steak and Taphouse. The lease-to-own agreement called for him to pay the money back over 10 years. But less than two years in, he was already more than $20,000 behind in scheduled payments.
The revelation came at a time when negative headlines for a variety of reasons had hurt the LaVecchia family's reputation. Several of Nick LaVecchia's restaurants in the area were failing, and onlookers expected a similar outcome here on South Street.
Some groups that had already scheduled holiday parties at Nick's decided to cancel, out of fear that the business would close by December.
On Monday, however, seated in a booth in his restaurant, LaVecchia unveiled a check for nearly $26,000. Upon handing it over to the city Tuesday, the payment brought him up to speed on what he owes Gastonia to date.
"I decided to knock it all out," he said.
LaVecchia attributes the struggles at Nick's in part to bad publicity. Insufficient management was also to blame because LaVecchia says he was stretched too thin with several different restaurant ventures between Charlotte and Kings Mountain.
Though the loss of his other restaurants has been regrettable, it is allowing him to focus on making his sole remaining business a success, he said. He foresees no other hurdles in making timely payments to the city, and believes even those who have doubted the controversial lease-to-own deal will come to see it as a benefit for Gastonia.
"We had a rocky start," he said. "But the restaurant has never operated better than it's operating right now."
Rent to own
LaVecchia and his family were behind successful restaurant and retail ventures in Charlotte and downtown Belmont. His reputation for kick-starting trendy new places to eat prompted the city to place its faith in him and strike the deal on the Webb Theater.
Though it once teemed with life, the space had been empty and neglected for years, and city leaders were eager to see it overhauled. To make it happen, they gave LaVecchia a $700,000 start-up-allowance, which he bolstered by investing much of his own money into the redevelopment.
The city's offering came from three federal sources: a $492,800 U.S. Housing and Urban Development loan, $108,000 in stimulus money and a $99,200 grant. LaVecchia's monthly lease payments amount to $6,875 per month, or $82,500 per year, and will total $825,000 by 2021.
The city will hold the title on the building until LaVecchia pays in full, but he is also paying $3,600 a year in lieu of property taxes.
LaVecchia began making the lease payments when the restaurant opened in May 2011. And the dynamic renovation was celebrated. LaVecchia's team renovated 5,000 square feet of space, incorporating modern amenities while retaining many of the theater's most historic features.
The dining area looks onto an open kitchen. Classic movies are shown every day on a giant projector screen, while high-definition televisions surround the bar.
But in October, the city acknowledged that LaVecchia was $20,000 behind in his lease payments, and more than $7,000 in arrears on utility bills.
Public relations plummet
The trouble emerged after LaVecchia's father and two sisters became immersed in complex legal scrapes beginning in June 2011. The three were embroiled in disputes with two former business associates that led to ill will in Belmont. The discontent resulted in assault charges being filed against LaVecchia family members over the course of many months.
JAX Backstreet Tavern, a Belmont bar and restaurant LaVecchia had opened, also became associated with unrest. Noise complaints and fights involving patrons became a regular occurrence. Shortly after one such fight Sept. 16, a man who had been drinking at the bar was hit and killed by a train a few hundred yards away. Police blamed it in part on him being intoxicated.
A bartender who had served the man was later charged with serving alcohol to an intoxicated person. LaVecchia's wife, who managed JAX, was also initially charged because she was the supervisor on duty that night.
LaVecchia said publicity surrounding all those incidents hurt his reputation. He has since closed JAX and sold it to a new owner, who is expected to reopen it under a new name in March.
At the same time, LaVecchia's other restaurants were going under. Last year, he closed both LaVecchia Seafood Grille and NIX Burgers and Brew in Charlotte, as well as Battleground Steakhouse in Kings Mountain.
Last summer, LaVecchia sold his 49 percent interest in Old Stone Steakhouse, the first restaurant he had opened in downtown Belmont.
Restaurant doors shuttered
LaVecchia scribbled notes on a pad of paper Monday while outlining the reasons each of his other restaurants failed.
LaVecchia's Seafood Grille blazed a trail of success when it opened in uptown Charlotte in 1997, at one point earning LaVecchia an award for Restaurateur of the Year. That prompted him to open NIX Burgers and Brew nearby in 2008.
"I was somewhat of a pioneer there," he said.
But by then, LaVecchia had turned his attention to also opening other restaurants. A combination of bad management and competition from the exploding restaurant scene in Charlotte prompted him to close both eateries, he said.
Battleground Steakhouse in Kings Mountain, which opened in 2011, was also crippled by bad management, as well as negative publicity about his family, LaVecchia said.
"The articles start coming out, and it's like 'crickets,'" he said of the sudden silence in business. "Rather than weathering another storm, I just licked my wounds and sold it."
His decision to recently sell JAX in Belmont was also hard, but his time in the town had run its course, LaVecchia said.
"It was kind of bittersweet because it was a good business," he said. "If I could do it all again, I would have just opened LaVecchia's (Seafood Grille) and stuck with that."
LaVecchia said Nick's Steak and Taphouse now has his undivided attention.
"I'm just relieved overall, because I can now focus on one restaurant and put all my energy into it," he said. "I've got a lot of pressure off of me, there's no doubt."
Focus on Gastonia
Gastonia City Manager Ed Munn updated City Council members this month regarding the outlook of Nick's Steak and Taphouse. Munn said he has spoken with LaVecchia at length since October, and believes the potential for long-term success is still real.
"We're pleased," he said of receiving the check for $25,904 on Tuesday. "It shows Nick is committed to his business here in Gastonia and we're excited about it."
LaVecchia recently hired a new chef at the downtown restaurant. While he's had the same general manager there for a year now, LaVecchia said he now oversees the business more directly.
"Since November, when I took over here, we're doing very well," he said. "Under my leadership, our sales have increased 30 percent, and it's only just begun."
Several new promotions have been introduced to coax that growth. The lunch and dinner menus at Nick's have been revamped to add new seafood dishes, burgers and sandwiches. The private dining room upstairs was renovated and has seen more bookings.
Patrons are now entitled to unlimited, half-price entrees during their entire birthday month. Every Monday, one table of two to four people is chosen at random to receive their entire meal free. Visitors can get a three-course dinner for $13.99 every night this month.
Carriage rides through downtown will be offered as part of a Valentine's Day package next month. LaVecchia is planning on implementing a valet parking service, and accepting dinner reservations to cater to people who hate first-come, first serve uncertainty.
"It's easier not to take reservations, but I've got to set myself apart from everything near Cox Road," he said.
LaVecchia knows the criticism about the city's deal with him only increased after his debts became known last fall. But he is paying thousands of dollars for utilities and payments in lieu of property taxes – revenue the city wasn't getting when the Webb Theater was empty.
Now that he is settled up and current on his lease payments to the city, he foresees a smoother road ahead.
"It's not easy to revitalize a downtown area like this. It takes people willing to make some gambles," said LaVecchia, defending Gastonia's deal. "It was certainly a gamble for me to do this in the first place. But I think the city has been really smart."

the best reviews
their picks
what to buy
Tablets emerged into the mainstream in 2010 with the launch of the original iPad, and the market has since become flooded with dozens of these portable devices. Buyers today face a confusing landscape with tablet computer choices segmented by operating system (Apple iOS, Android and Windows) and size.
Tablet computers take two main forms -- convertible tablets and slates. Convertible tablets look like regular laptops, but the screen either swivels 360 degrees to transform the computer into a touch-screen tablet or detaches completely. Almost all convertible tablets, such as the Dell Inspiron i3147 (Est. $400), run the Windows 8 operating system. For more information on these types of tablet computers, see our report on laptop computers.
Slates, on the other hand, get rid of the physical keyboard in favor of a virtual touch-screen keyboard. Slates are lighter than convertible tablets, but the touch-screen keyboard can make typing long documents a chore.
Tablet buyers have several decisions to make to find the right tablet for their needs.
Three operating systems dominate the tablet marketplace:
iOS: The Apple iPad line -- including the new Apple iPad Air 2 (Est. $500 and up) and iPad mini 3 (Est. $300 and up) -- run Apple's iOS operating system, the same one used by the iPhone line. It provides a seamless user experience, albeit one that's less customizable than what's possible under Android or Windows. The iTunes store still offers the largest library of apps, and that advantage is even more pronounced when it comes to apps optimized to run on a tablet's larger (compared to a smartphone) screen.
Android: While the tablet landscape is segmented by operating system, Android tablets are segmented further still. That's because Android is a more open operating system, with manufacturers able to modify it to a great degree to fit their devices and to add (or subtract) features. Google Play still trails Apple's iTunes in terms of the sheer number of available apps, but the gap is small, and except for some specialized apps, it's getting tougher and tougher to find a mainstream or even offbeat app that doesn't come in flavors that run on both Apple and Android devices. However, many Android apps are optimized to look their best on smartphones and smaller tablets. While these apps will mostly work just fine on a larger tablet, they won't look quite as sharp or won't display full screen.
Android comes in lots of different flavors. Android 5.0 (code named Lollipop) is the latest version at the time of this report and reviews say it is the most polished version of the OS to date, with a more intuitive and attractive interface and improved performance. As is the norm with Android, roll out is slow and staged, with only a handful of devices -- including only some just-released tablets -- getting it initially, and with some slated to never receive the update at all. For now, the vast majority of tablets still use Android 4.4, code named KitKat. That's not necessarily a bad thing, as KitKat itself is considered stable and easy to use. Some cheap Android tablets still use Android 4.1, commonly known as Jelly Bean. Google has put together a history of Android page that explains the different versions of Android in more detail.
Very few tablets actually run the "stock" version of Android. Instead, manufacturers will put their own spin on things with different interfaces and functionalities -- though most are relatively minor.
Some manufacturers will take things further -- a lot further, in fact, to the point where the underlying Android operating system is barely recognizable. These "forked" versions of Android are created to give a manufacturer's devices unique features or restrictions not found elsewhere. Many "kids" tablets run a forked version of Android to create a child-safe "walled-garden" to play in, preventing -- in theory -- any exposure to parts of the Internet that parents deem to be undesirable. Amazon's Fire tablets also run a forked version of Android, in this case to create a more seamless user experience, albeit one tied tightly to Amazon's content products. Forked Android tablets can't access Google Play for app downloads. Instead, users must depend on independent App stores set up by the manufacturers.
Windows: Windows tablets also come in multiple versions. Windows RT was developed to run on the lower-powered processors found in Android and Apple slates. They can't run standard Windows applications -- only Windows Store apps -- and the selection pales compared to what's available under Apple or Android, though many Microsoft products, including a version of Office, are offered. Currently, the Microsoft Surface 2 (Est. $450 and up) is the only Windows RT tablet available.
Slates that run the full Windows 8.1 operating system are also available. These run more powerful processors, the Intel Atom or better, and can run Windows Store apps as well as any program that runs under Windows. That makes Windows tablets a good choice where productivity is important -- though any real productivity will also demand budgeting a little extra for an accessory keyboard.
Slate tablets come in a host of screen sizes, from around 7 inches to more than 20 inches. They can be broken down by size, with those that are roughly 9 inches or more considered large tablets, and those below that considered small. The very largest tablets are intended for use on a coffee table or conference table for collaborative work or play. More commonly, tablets in the 9-to 12-inch range are ideally sized for consuming media, such as high-definition movies, while sitting on a sofa or in an easy chair. Smaller tablets are usually less expensive than their large-screen counterparts and are perfectly sized to be used when held in one hand -- more comfortable for reading in bed, and more practical for strap-hanging commuters.
So which tablet is best for you? To help answer that question, we look at the best available advice from expert reviewers such as CNET, PCMag.com, Laptop Magazine and many more. We then cross-check those reviews with feedback from tablet users. To find the best choices, we rate tablets in important categories including performance, ease of use and features to find the ones most likely to please and to determine which models more often disappoint. The result is our Best Reviewed recommendations, along with some other tablets that are very much worth considering.

#10 Men's Lacrosse Rallies in Fourth, Holds On Late for 8-7 Win over Florida Southern
March 17, 2013
JACKSONVILLE, F.L. - Four fourth quarter goals allowed 10th-ranked Pfeiffer University to pull out an 8-7 victory over Florida Southern in non-conference men's lacrosse action on Saturday afternoon. The Falcons improve to 7-1 overall while sending the mocs to 3-4.
Down 5-4 heading into the final 15 minutes, the Falcons would reel off the first four goals of the period and hold off a Florida Southern comeback to hang on for the win. Elliot Gilbert tied things up 22 seconds into the fourth while Kory Lutes scored his second and third goals, one man-up, to help give Pfeiffer its final lead of the day. Steven Tilmon would also contribute in the four-goal run as well. Florida Southern made things interesting with goals by Chris Murphy and Stephen Boyle just 12 seconds apart with under two minutes to play.
A full box score can be found at the above link. Pfeiffer gets back to action on Wednesday night traveling to Queens for a Conference Carolinas matchup beginning at 7:00 p.m.

Uncorked Ventures Blog
It's a Wasteland and I Don't Mean New Jersey
One of the things that I love about Uncorked Ventures is being able to work with my brother in law. It makes the good times that much more fun and the rough patches a bit easier to handle. One of the other positives, is that we see humor in much of what we do with Uncorked Ventures. While we take our responsibility to find quality wines seriously, we don't have to be serious all the time to do just that.
On a recent trip to Sonoma we were told by a winery owner that the wine being produced in Sonoma is a wasteland outside of some of the wines we've already worked with and presumably theirs. In any case, that's become something of a catch phrase around the office of late.
I thought of it for our Wine Blog Wednesday feature because I wanted to feature a New Jersey wine blog (in honor of their state perhaps joining the 20th century and allowing outside wine shipments…seriously who do you trust more with your economy, Pennsylvania or California?) that I thought spoke our language. Some education, a small amount of tasting notes and some humor thrown in. It was more difficult than I imagined until I found South Jersey Wine and Dine. I'll admit, I haven't spent a lot of time in Jersey outside of a football game or two, a couple of layovers at Newark and a cloudy afternoon in Jersey City so the restaurant reviews aren't a great help….they do come with some great photographs and wine pairing suggestions though-so the blog is well worth the read. Back in the depths I even found a nice compliment for an old stand by, Keenan and their Merlot let alone a mention for our friends over at Alpha Omega who famously survived a day of "hard" labor by Matt and I. We couldn't agree more, Jean and Henrik are producing some truly memorable wines in a unique style for a winery situated directly on Highway 29.
Overall I just love the concept, review restaurants which allow you to bring your own wine and therefore avoid restaurants and their 300% markup. Great idea!
5 Wine Topics I'm Sick of Talking About, but Stand No Chance of Going Away
5) Spanish wines are the next big thing. No wait, Portugese wines are the next big thing. Wait, Italian wines are the next big thing. New Zealand. South Africa. Argentina. Chile. Etc Etc. The wine industry is growing world wide, here is hoping that regions everywhere improve the quality and the value of their offerings while keeping some sort of local character to their wines.
4) Robert Parker and his retirement from current California vintages. The first scores from Antonio Galloni are out and they are, not surprisingly, more of the same. Did anyone really expect a dramatic departure from Wine Advocate which has become the most trusted name in wine reviews?
3) The Other 46. I'm still wondering exactly how New York has weaseled its way into a grouping with California, Oregon and Washington. Despite several great examples to the contrary, I just haven't seen the consistent quality from New York state yet-at least on the level produced consistently on the west coast. Great wines are being produced to be sure, but overall is the quality comparable? Can we just admit that great wine can be made anywhere and move on? New Mexico makes a great sparkeling wine lineup. Arizona is trying. Michigan is working hard. Virginia might be the best hope for the east coast. Texas and Texans love their own and the region outside of Austin is surprisingly temperate. 40 years ago Pinot Noir in Oregon sounded like a stupid idea, haven't we learned anything? The wine industry is incredibly adaptable and more quality wine regions are a good thing, let's let them all develop without trying to compare them all the time.
2) Cork versus artificial cork versus screw tops. I get it. Honestly I do. Artifiical cork doesn't spoil any bottles, but it might not age as well and it definitely removes some of the romance from wine. Screw tops are easily and much more efficient for restaurants, bartenders love them as it saves at least 45 seconds per opening. For a busy restaurant in a major city, that could save you thousands of dollars per year. I think everyone in the industry knows all of this already-what's the point in continuing the discussion if you don't stand a chance of changing anyone's mind? By the way, those natural cork ads as you enter wine country across the world talking about the environment seem like a winning proposition for an industry dependent on wine sales at $50 and above, exactly the market where people get really environmentally conscious.
1) Low alcohol content wines are better than high alcohol content wines. Heck, I've got to hand it to the French wine industry, they've turned the entire conversation on its head. No longer does it matter if a wine is balanced, or if you can tell the alcohol level in a wine. All that matters is that legally mandated alcohol level on the front of the bottle. For an industry that has fought so vehemently against scores, it's a little odd don't you think? I'm sick of the conversation because we're missing the point. Warmer climates are going to produce higher alcohol wines. That's just a fact. What isn't a fact though is that all higher alcohol wines are out of balance. I could line up 10 wines we've shipped over the past two years that hit 14% or higher in alcohol and you'd have no idea because they are well made and the alcohol content is completely in balance with the fruit in the wine.
My Favorite Wines, Winemakers and Wineries of 2011
10) B Cellars: I'll admit it. I love Napa. It's part the ambiance. It's part tradition. It's part nostalgia. It's mostly the incredible wine, both the consistently great Cab's produced everywhere in the valley, but also the innovative smaller wineries that you haven't heard of yet. We shipped Blend 24 by B Cellars, partly because we loved the wine, but also partly because they're willing to experiment and grow one of the best Sangiovese crops in California.
9) Anything from Los Olivos (the other side of Santa Barbara). Dragonette. Tensley. Stolpman. Blair Fox (more on him/them later). Beckmen. Kaena. The list goes on and one, with all the offerings priced incredibly fairly given the quality. If I had one day to taste with a group of friends, Los Olivos might be the stop considering there are 30 tasting rooms within walking distance of each other.
8) Kamen: I'm going to date myself here a bit, but Karate Kid is one of my favorite movies of all time. Yes, I am about the perfect age, but meeting the guy who wrote the screenplay was one of life's little thrills. Robert Kamen might write screenplays for a living, but his Kamen wine label might be the best Cabernet produced in Sonoma. If you're anything like my wife, you might not be as thrilled to meet the guy who did the screenplay for Karate Kid, but might be more interested in a Walk in the Clouds!
7) Blair Fox: Certainly one of the coolest winemakers on the block. We haven't shipped one of his Syrah's…..yet. Tierra Alta Vineyard is my personal favorite.
6) Copain: Lower alcohol has a home in California wine. You just need perfect vineyard locations and a willing winemaker to make it happen consistently. Welcome to Copain where we will vouch for literally any wine they make from their entry level Tous Ensambles, to their vineyard designate wines which truly shine.
5) Andrew Will: Bordeaux has already found its way to Washington, most wine drinkers simply haven't discovered it yet. These are restrained wines considering their vineyard sources and are clear crowd pleasers whenever they are opened.
4) JC Cellars: Multiple wines rated in the mid 90's and priced at around $40 will get you a lot of attention. Think Tensley 3 years ago, before the massive hype and waiting list.
3) Woodward Canyon: Great high end Cab's. A great entry level second label. There isa lot to like here on a number of different levels. If you want to try your first Washington wine, this is a place to start.
2) Sojourn: We love fleshy Pinot's. If I want a Pinot to break apart in my mouth, I'll buy something from Oregon. Winemaker Erich Bradley crafts quality Cab and Pinot all in a Burgundian style.
1) Anything made by Mike Smith. We're guilty of liking the exclusive and getting the heads up about Mike's label from Maybach didn't hurt either. High quality Cab's from some of the top vineyard sources in the state. All of the wines made by Mike show a level of sophistication not often seen at their prices. Parker said to get on the list before he left town and we couldn't agree more. It doesn't hurt that we like Mike quite a lot, he also helped us to find one of the great hole in the wall Mexican food restaurants in all of Napa.
Happy New Year
As another year winds down, Matt and I want to wish all of our customers and readers a very Happy New Year!
We've enjoyed the ride this far and while 2012 will certainly bring its own set of challenges and obscales, we're incredibly happy with Uncorked Ventures and the quality wines we're sourcing on a regular basis for our customers. We appreciate your business and are looking forward to the new year!
Lot 18 Goes International
Lot 18 has certainly been the talk of the wine world for some time on a number of different levels. While I don't choose to talk about competitors in this space often, we have divergent enough business models that I don't see the harm mentioning them here. Additionally, I think it is important to point out that while at Uncorked Ventures we're shipping almost all 90+ point wine, that's tough to do when you're selling them by the tens of palates like Lot 18 is…..
In any case, the wine world was literally stunned a few months ago when Lot 18 accepted 30M in venture capital funds. Everyone wondered what the plan was given that sizable financial investment. Theories were espoused including Lot 18 beginning to craft its own wine to buying wineries directly. Frankly, none of them seemed likely.
Word comes today that Lot 18 has purchased a Paris based ecommerce company called Vinobest. It's the start of a global expansion for the brand.
I can see the attraction to going international, in fact exporting wine is on the Uncorked Ventures to-do list for 2012-2013, but a true international expansion poses a whole different set of challenges. The bottom line, I wish them nothing but the best and having another wine company who is acting more on quality than on discounts only helps us at Uncorked Ventures.

SW Terwilliger Boulevard Sewer Project
Construction Delayed Until 2016
May 2, 2014
Environmental Services will construct 6,800-feet of eight-inch gravity sewer in Terwilliger Boulevard from SW Powers Court to Highway 43. The new sewer will connect to the 30-inch Tryon Interceptor sewer, which carries sewage to the Tryon Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant inLake Oswego. This improvement toPortland's wastewater collection system will help protect water quality, public health, and the environment.
After feedback from the public, neighbors, Multnomah County, City of Lake Oswego, many stakeholders, and extensive traffic management research, Environmental Services has decided to delay the project until the Sellwood Bridge Project, and other nearby projects, are complete. Construction of the SW Terwilliger Boulevard Sewer Project will not begin until sometime in 2016.
In the meantime, Environmental Services will continue to maintain the Powers Court Pump Station per the agreement with Dunthorpe-Riverdale Sewer District as needed.
Go to www.portlandoregon.gov/bes/swterwilliger. To receive email updates for this project, send an email to Debbie Caselton at firstname.lastname@example.com with "Terwilliger" in the subject line.
SW Terwilliger Blvd Sewer Project Update: October 18, 2013

Port Natal School's 1st XV won all 22 of their matches in 2009.
The White Knights scored 726 points with only 116 scored against them (an average score of 33-5 per game).
Their season started early with the Damelin Rugby Night Series (previously known as the McCarthy Night Series). Port Natal have won the tournament eight times in its 10-year existence.
In the final of the 2009 series, Port Natal beat a very motivated George Campbell School of Technology side 13-12.
The 1st XV had an unbeaten season, seeing off sides like Sand du Plessis (Bloemfontein), Potch Boys' High, Grenswag and Bergsig (Rustenburg). All of these schools have two or three times as many boys to chose from than Port Natal.
Port Natal was opened in 1941 and is the only Afrikaans medium school in Central Durban. Learners start their career at the school in Grade 1 and have the luxury of staying at one campus until Grade 12. They currently have around 400 learners from Grade 8-12 with the split between boys and girls being approximately 50-50.
However, Port Natal still manages to field six rugby teams on any given Saturday (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, U15 and U14).
Mr Price has been the proud sponsor of the 1st XV since 2006.
Port Natal representative team selections:
KwaZulu-Natal Academy A: -Riaan Basson.
Natal AVS (Afrikaans schools team): Waldo Preston, Christian Pozyn, Jaco Oosthuizen, Marcell Coetzee, Wynand Bezuidenhout, Marno Vorster, Ruan Allerston, Nathan Mather, Corne vd Westhuyizen and Anrich Rosslee.

Could cutting service contracts avert sequestration furloughs?
Monday - 2/11/2013, 5:00pm EST
As federal agencies intensify their planning for the across-the-board budget cuts slated to hit the government in March, much of the discussion has settled on the likelihood of federal employees being furloughed.
But one contracting expert said making trims to service-contract spending could garner as much as 70 percent to 90 percent of the savings required by the budget cuts, known as sequestration.
In an analysis prepared for the American Federation of Government Employees, Charles Tiefer, a professor at the University of Baltimore Law School and a former member of the Commission on Wartime Contracting in Iraq and Afghanistan, said that agency managers have a number of tools at their disposal to legally scale back service-contract spending.
"Contractors say that their contracts are untouchable, sacrosanct, you can't make savings out of them," Tiefer said during a conference call to discuss his analysis. "It is not impossible, it is not a breach, there are not penalties for the government to scale these back."
Doing so, he said, would be "far better for the government's operations than furloughing essential, sometimes indispensable, federal employees."
Service-contract spending accounts about $300 billion of the government's total contract spending.
Federal managers have options to legally scale back service-contract spending, according to Tiefer's analysis.
- Pause task orders of indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity contracts. If an agency has already awarded the minimum number of task orders for an ID/IQ contract, then it has "complete discretion" to reduce the number of task orders it places, essentially pausing the contract, Tiefer wrote.
Much of the government's IT contract spending is done through task orders, so "even a very limited reduction in the upward trend in the purchasing of IT task orders would produce significant savings," Tiefer stated.
- Partial terminations, deductive-change orders. Agencies can also partially terminate contracts, according to Tiefer, so long as the cancellations don't exceed 20 percent of the work scope. "For example, an agency may have a contract for weekly janitorial services," Tiefer's analysis stated. "A manager may partially terminate that contract for convenience so that services need be rendered only in two of every three weeks, effectively terminating one-third of that contract."
Similarly, agencies can make even smaller trims — less than 10 percent of the work scope — known as deductive-change orders to contract spending.
- Bilateral modifications. Finally, agencies can reduce contract spending by renegotiating contract terms with their contractors. "Although skeptics may doubt that this process occurs fully consensually, they do have, in the end, contractors' agreement, even if only grudging," Tiefer wrote. "Historically, many reductions in payments to service contractors have occurred through such modifications ... Rather than be subjected to entirely involuntary partial terminations for convenience or deductive change orders, most service contractors would voluntarily consent to bilateral modifications for reductions, particularly if they can help to plan new arrangements for performance of their service contracts."
In all cases, contractors and agency managers should work together, Tiefer said, even when agencies possess "absolute discretion" to reduce spending, he said.
Lawsuits between contractors and agencies are not to anyone's benefit and, by working together, contractors can provide input about how to move forward on a reduced contract, Tiefer said.
Industry group decries 'us vs. them' mentality
Industry groups criticized Tiefer's analysis. Achieving 70 percent to 90 percent of the sequester cuts by cutting contracting "would cripple the government and devastate the economy," said Alan Chvotkin, vice president and counsel of the Professional Services Council, an industry group.
Agencies should make strategic decisions "about what work needs to be accomplished" to meet their missions, Chvotkin said in a statement.
Already, some agencies have taken some of the steps outlined in Tiefer's analysis, Chvotkin said, and contractors are feeling the effects.
"It is no wiser to take savings exclusively from the federal workforce than it is to take the savings exclusively from contractors," Chvotkin said. "This petty "us v. them" debate must end. Right now, both federal and contractor employees are feeling and will continue to feel the fiscal pinch. We must work together to help the government find the savings required."
It's not the first time AFGE and PSC have sparred over the impact of sequestration.
AFGE has condemned the sequestration guidance released by the Office of Management and Budget for focusing too much on squeezing savings from the federal workforce instead of contractors. But PSC said the union has ignored thousands of contractor jobs already lost because of threat of sequestration.
