Experiencing sexual or relationship violence can be an overwhelming and isolating experience. Sexual assault and relationship violence are traumatic experiences that can interrupt your life at home, work, and school. It can sometimes affect your relationships with friends and family. Many victims try to cope and manage their feelings on their own, which is a common response to dealing with such a painful and frightening experience.
At Saint Louis University, we want you to know that you are not alone. We are here to support and encourage you regardless of where you are in your process. Whether your experience is long past or a recent event, we are here to provide help, support, and resources. We also value and protect your confidentiality throughout the process.
What Should I Do?
You have several options to consider as you move forward. You can choose to do any one - or none - of the following:
- Have a confidential consultation with a caring professional;
- Make an official report;
- Receive medical attention;
- Pursue housing and safety options; and/or
- Ongoing therapy with a qualified, sensitive, and professional counselor.
When it comes to counseling, there is no one-size-fits-all approach. Instead, we strive to respect where you are and what you are ready to do. Honoring your process is of the utmost importance to us. When you are ready, we are here. While counseling can be scary, it can be helpful in relieving symptoms commonly associated with traumatic experiences. These can include: fear, guilt, shame, nightmares, flashbacks, and others.

As children, they lived a happy life with their father who encouraged them both to practice karate. However, one day a mysterious group breaks into their dojo, killing their father, kidnapping Natsuki, and stealing the black belt which has been passed down in their family for over 200 years.
Several years later, Ayaka is living the humble life of an ordinary high school student in Yokohama. Natsuki, on the other hand, has been trained as a killing machine by the mysterious group that kidnapped her all those years ago. Soon, Natsuki and the group begin to take aim at Ayaka. Out of love for her sister and with the teachings of her father still in her heart, Ayaka decides to do whatever it takes to get Natsuki and their family's black belt back from the clutches of the mysterious group.

One measure would repeal a law that related to teachers' collective bargaining agreements. According to reports, the law ended tenure and removed issues like workload and class size from contract negotiations.
The second referendum was filed to repeal a similar law also dealing with collective bargaining.
The proposed veto referendums were filed with the Idaho election's office on March 18, 2011. A third veto referendum, Proposition 3, was filed after a previously pending third education-related law was signed into effect. The referendums were filed with the Idaho Secretary of State's office around April 8, 2011.[1][2][3]

A YES vote means you approve the legislation. A NO vote means you reject the legislation.[5]
The following is the ballot text voters saw for Proposition 1:[6]
|Referendum to approve or reject legislation providing teacher performance pay based on state-mandated test scores, student performance, hard-to-fill positions and leadership.
Referendum to approve or reject S1110; relating to education: revising Idaho Code by adding new section 33-1004I to provide and distribute in fiscal year 2013 state share-based pay for performance bonuses to certificated instructional staff based on a school's median student growth percentiles on state achievement tests and a school's median standardized score on state achievement tests and local share-based pay for performance based on student test scores, graduation rates, dropout rates, percent of graduates attending postsecondary education or entering military service, meeting federal "adequate yearly progress," number of students successfully completing dual credit or advanced placement classes; percent of students in extracurricular activities, class projects, portfolios, successful completion of special student assignments, parental involvement, teacher-assigned grades, and/or student attendance rates, and, in fiscal year 2014 and thereafter, in addition to the aforementioned bonuses, provide incentives for certificated instructional staff in hard-to-fill positions and leadership awards for certificated instructional staff who assume one or more of the following additional duties: instructional staff mentoring, content leadership, lead teacher, peer coaching, content specialist, remedial instructor, curriculum development, assessment development, data analysis, grant writing, special program coordinator, research project, professional development instructor, service on education committees, educational leadership and earning national board certification.
Shall the legislation providing teacher performance pay based on state-mandated test scores, student performance, hard-to-fill positions and leadership be approved?
A YES vote means you approve the legislation. A NO vote means you reject the legislation.[5]
Targeted laws
The following laws were targeted by the three referendum:
- Editor's note: Each law is followed by the formal ballot title in which each of the referendums appeared on the ballot.
- Senate Bill 1108 (Proposition 1) governs collective bargaining rights dealing with teachers in the state.
- Senate Bill 1110 (Proposition 2) relates to teacher merit-pay bonuses.
- Idaho Republicans elected Barry Peterson to lead the campaign for the legislative bills. According to reports, GOP leaders described Peterson as an example of the state's conservative origins. Peterson was a Mountain Home, Idaho hardware store owner. According to Peterson, "We will unitedly work to have a more effective and impactful role in the politics of our state. I see the most important role in our central committee in the state as that of the executive director. I will immediately seek assistance from you, if you have a recommendation, to get the very best on the board."[7]
- The main campaign for the pieces of legislation was Yes! for Idaho Education.
- Governor of Idaho Butch Otter stated that he would personally campaign for the pieces of legislation. According to Otter, when commenting on the referendum efforts: "That's the people's right — that's what being part of a republic is all about. We're going to do our level best to make sure that the correct information gets out." Otter later added: "I hope they fail."
- Former Governor of Florida Jeb Bush endorsed the reform, saying that the pieces of legislation "will be the models for the rest of the country."[8]
- Tom Luna, state superintendent, defended Senate Bill 1108, stating: "We had a system where it was almost impossible to financially reward great teachers and very difficult to deal with ineffective teachers. If you want an education system that truly puts students first, you have to have both."[9]
Campaigning, events and strategies
- At the Idaho Association of Commerce and Industry's annual conference in Twin Falls, the Gov. Otter praised the group for supporting the three Idaho education reform bills, and urged even more support by stating: "The results were the three bills that we finally got through with your help, with your assistance, with your faith, and now they're under attack. So I need that same energy that you helped us with in the Legislature this last session."[10]
- On January 31, 2012 State schools Superintendent Tom Luna defended the laws that the referendums are targeting in front of a joint meeting of the House and Senate education committees. He told lawmakers: "As year, as you know, we passed the most comprehensive education reform in the country. We had to find a way to spend the money we currently had differently."[11]
- The Idaho Education Association (IEA) were the sponsors of the veto referendum filed.[12]
- Idahoans for Responsible Education Reform filed the third referendum.[3]
- The Boise School Board voted to oppose the legislation that was placed on the ballot by veto referendum.[13]
- IEA President Sherri Wood stated about the laws the referendum were trying to repeal: "Basically this so-called reform is nothing more than sending the responsibility to the districts to say we get to cut a whole bunch of things in order to fund technology and a pay-for-performance plan."[12]
The following is a donation that was made towards the campaign against the legislation. The donation was made for signature gathering and petition printing costs, according to reports:[14]
|National Education Association
Other perspectives
- Idaho Secretary of State Ben Ysursa had an alternative perspective on the referendums, without giving his position on the purpose behind them. He stated: "Obviously we have the state Legislature, but we also have the people who have reserved for themselves, legislative power to reject legislation, that's the referendum. That's the people's right to legislate, and that's on equal footing, with the Legislature's right to legislate, and here you go back and forth." Ysursa also stated that he would spend the next year and half before the election educating voters on what a "yes" and "no" vote means for the referendums.[15]
On April 27, 2011, the Idaho Education Association filed a lawsuit in 4th District Court in Ada County against SB 1108, challenging the constitutionality of the bill. According to IEA President Sherri Wood, when commenting on the lawsuit and the ongoing referendum effort, "Because the Legislature, Gov. Otter and State Superintendent (Tom) Luna failed to listen to the voices of Idaho citizens and, in the case of SB 1108 and the trailer bills, overstepped their legal bounds, the IEA supports citizen efforts to place referendums on the ballot challenging the Luna laws. Likewise, we will challenge the constitutionality of SB 1108 and the trailer bills."[16]
On September 30, 2011, a Fourth District Judge Timothy Hansen upheld Senate Bill 1108. Hansen stated in his 18-page ruling that collective bargaining limitation "is both reasonable and necessary to the legitimate purposes furthered by SB 1108. As noted above, one of those purposes is returning decision-making power to local school boards."[17]
According to Gov. Otter, when commenting on the decision and the three veto referendums on the 2012 ballot: "That's welcome news. But we recognize this issue and the fate of Students Come First will remain in the courts — including the court of public opinion. Superintendent Luna and I are confident that Idaho citizens understand what's at stake."[17]
Path to the ballot
Signature requirements
In order for a proposed veto referendum to be placed on the 2012 statewide ballot for Idaho voters to decide, at least 47,432 signatures for each targeted bill must have been collected within 60 days after lawmakers leave for the session. On April 7, 2011, the Idaho Legislature concluded their 2011 state legislative session, meaning any referendum effort hoping to obtain ballot access had until June 1, 2011 to submit the required amount of signatures to county clerks' offices. Once the clerks verified enough signatures, the verified signatures were then returned to the supporters. Supporters then had until June 6, 2011 to submit them to the Idaho Secretary of State.[2][18][19]
On May 20, 2011, it was reported that the referendum effort was close to its goals of collecting signatures. Supporters of the effort fully expected to turn in signatures by the June 1 deadline. According to Tim Hurst, the chief deputy secretary of state, when commenting the exact amount of signatures already collected by the initiative effort: "We're not going to know until the clerks have got everything entered if they've got enough [signatures]. We also know there are a lot of signatures that have not been checked by the clerks yet."[20][21]
Then on May 25, 2011, it was reported that supporters had collected enough signatures to place one of the three measures on the ballot, and were within 800 signatures for the last two proposed ballot referendums.[19]
Signature submission
As the June 1 deadline arrived, in the middle of that day, it was reported that each of the three referendums had enough valid signatures to make the ballot, although those numbers were unofficial. According to reports, the number of validated signatures by county clerks across the state were as follows: 65,088 for SB 1108, 65,252 for SB 1110, and 63,744 for SB 1184.
When contacted by Ballotpedia, the Idaho Secretary of State's office stated that although signatures had not been filed as of 3:30 p.m. MDT, contact was made with the petition organizers, and that signatures would be filed before the close of business.
Signatures were submitted to the Secretary of State's office, reports confirm, as more than 210,000 verified signatures were submitted. Each referendum needed 47,432 valid signatures, which means the more than 72,000 signatures submitted for each measure was well above the requirements. Official ballot placement from the Secretary of State's office was expected shortly after submission of signatures.[22]
Then, on June 13, 2012, the Idaho Secretary of State's office issued official certificates placing the referendums on the November 6, 2012 general election ballot.

Apple produces the single most popular smartphone and tablet lines: the iPhone and iPad. Accordingly, apps for the iOS platform bring in large amounts of revenue. In 2013, customers spent more than $10 billion on the iTunes App Store, including both paid apps themselves and paid in-app purchases. [Source]
To date, app developers have earned $15 billion through the App Store. The amount of money saved by using mobile technology or earned by attracting business with a mobile app is above and beyond this direct figure. Working with seasoned iPhone and iPad app development companies can give you a competitive advantage. Zco's portfolio includes dozens of iOS apps, from simple event guides to complex secure cloud data access software.

The Barton Reading & Spelling System aims to improve the spelling, reading, and writing skills of children, teenagers, and adults with dyslexia and other learning disabilities. It consists of ten levels, each with tutor training DVDs, complete lesson plans, and color-coded tiles.
The Barton Tiles app is designed to save tutors using the Barton Reading & Spelling System at least 10 minutes each session. Words and tiles are pre-loaded for each lesson, and there's no cumbersome tile cleanup. Student tracking functionality stores contact information, notes, current level and lesson, and even a photo of each student.
Messaging between users is a critical part of the mobile experience, and all too often, it's vulnerable to interception by hackers, network sniffers, and data miners. Piecemeal solutions exist, but few attempt to integrate multiple forms of secure communication into one app.
GiGi ensures security for messages, whether they are texts, pictures, videos, or emails. A single secure username provides access to one-to-one or group multimedia conversations. A visual dashboard simplifies navigation, and randomly generated PINs protect the user from using codes that are easy to guess. Automatic deletion of sent and received messages after pre-set time periods keeps communication history away from prying eyes.
The people at Zco are true professionals, and I would highly recommend anyone looking for a software developer to take a close look at what they have to offer.

Zack was one of about 150 Jack Russell Terriers and Shiba Inus we rescued from a Michigan puppy mill earlier this year. After rescue, he needed surgery on his eyes—but he also needed extensive behavior help.
ASPCA behavior expert Kristen Collins was at the rescue to help remove dogs from the property, and she noticed Zack right away. He shook violently as he crouched in terror, his eyes wide. When Collins approached his enclosure, he bolted for the broken crate that was his only shelter from the elements.
"He looked like the most fearful dog on the property," Collins remembers. She knew Zack's best hope was intensive treatment at our Rehab Center for puppy mill and hoarding survivors.
When Zack arrived at the Rehab Center, his behavior was no different than the first time Collins saw him quake with fear at her approach. He cowered in the back of his space, ears flat and body low. And yet—after a few days, though he remained skeptical about human touch, Zack began to tentatively wag his tail at the sight of familiar people.
Today, Zack has been adopted and is part of a loving family. We wanted to show you the amazing progress Zack made during his time with us—please watch his video below.
We also wanted to thank those of you who have given to the ASPCA. Zack's recovery wouldn't be possible without you. If you haven't given recently, you can do so here to help other animals like Zack. Thank you!
God bless you all for the work you do for these preciouse animals, i have 6 rescue animals myself and they are my world i love them so much. These video's really break my heart i do not understand why humans would do this to god's gift's:(
God Bless you all..
I adopted a puppy mill mama about 3 months ago... she was VERY similar...She was almost 9 ( had her 9th birthday since then :) ) She shook & was terrified of people, would sleep in her own mess, wouldn't walk on a leash, & cowered at anyone who even looked at her! NOW, after just almost 3 months she is almost a fully happy dog, & she's spoiled rotten ;) ... she is still wary of new people, but follows me like a shadow! I never realized how horrifying it must be for the poor breeder dogs at puppy mills!!! I suggest EVERYONE adopts these angels in need, if you do, after a little patience & love, you will have a best friend for life!!!!
Thank you & God Bless you for all that you do to help these dog's !
Keep up the great work that you people do.I give to all animal causes when I'm able and let others give to the other charities.No dog at this time,but definitely would only adopt rescues and shelter dogs.Great work !!
Awesome resuce of all the puppy mill dogs. I am so glad you save them all and helped poor Zach. I am happy he is in a loving home. Keep up the good work. God Bless you all and all the animals you help.
This is why I support the ASPCA. What a wonderful Organization.
Yay Zack! And another Yay for the ASPCA volunteers who helped him. This is SUCH important and valuable work. It's about who we are as humans.
We've rescued our wonderful dog, I made the mistake of buying a dog from a pet store.....HUGE mistake, we spent so much money on her and in the end had to put her down because of the inbreeding she had issues that couldn't be fixed. We were heartbroken.. We now have a great dog. DON'T GO TO PUPPY STORES!!!! no matter what they say, they lie.

California Solar Initiative
Solar Saving
Installing a solar generating system at home can help you save on your electric bill and reduce your carbon footprint. Learn more about what type of solar system best meets your needs; then find a contractor and bask in the savings.
Photovoltaic (PV) Incentives
Use photovoltaic technology to harness the power of the sun to generate your own electricity and you may qualify for California Solar Initiative rebates on the equipment and installation. You'll also be eligible for Net Energy Metering, which gives you credit for the electricity generated by your solar system. It's easier than you think to get started, and once your system is installed you'll receive a rebate and bill credits that may make you wonder why you didn't "go solar" sooner.Photovoltaic (PV) Incentives Learn More
Please note: at this time, there are no incentives or rebates available.
In most cases, if rebates for installing a qualifying solar photovoltaic (PV) system on your home are available, they will be based on the expected performance of your new equipment. Rebates are paid in "steps," which means that as more solar systems are purchased and installed, the amount of available rebate dollars decreases, so apply early to maximize your savings.
If you are an SCE customer with an unobstructed south- or southwest-facing roof, your home may be a good candidate for a solar generating system. Making your home as energy efficient as possible before you go solar is an essential first step.
Choosing a qualified, licensed solar contractor is key to getting the most productive solar energy system for your home. Typically, the solar contractor will apply for the CSI rebate and Net Energy Metering on your behalf, and arrange for your system to be interconnected to the grid.
Your rebate amount will depend on how much electricity your new system is expected to generate and the CSI "step" level at the time you apply. Rebates decline over time, so the earlier you apply, the more you may be eligible to receive.

What is a Naturally Sensitive Person?
Have you been called "too shy" or "too sensitive"? Were you often told to "toughen up"? Are you deeply moved by the arts or music? Is alone time essential to you? Are you creative or intuitive? Emotional, caring, empathic? Do you have vivid dreams? Do you possess a keen imagination? Are you easily overwhelmed by sounds, sights, crowds?
If you answered "Yes" to some of these questions, you are probably a Naturally (or Highly) Sensitive Person!
Welcome! You are not alone... or broken... and there is nothing "wrong" with you. As much as 15-20% of our population is just like you and I, according to Elaine Aron, Ph.D., author of the groundbreaking best-seller "The Highly Sensitive Person."
The purpose of this group is to assist your self-discovery process as a Naturally Sensitive People, which can lead you to:
- View you temperament as a strength, not a weakness? · Re-frame your past and heal old wounds? · Stop hiding your sensitivity? · A new comfort with yourself? · Being authentically confident? · A better understanding of each of your sensitivities? · New clarity on your dreams, values and purpose? · Greater levels of emotional, spiritual, physical and financial health and fulfillment?

The IRB has ended referee Steve Walsh's two-year Test exile and the Kiwi will call the Wales vs South Africa game in November.
The New Zealander was suspended from international rugby after turning up drunk to a conference of leading southern hemisphere referees in Sydney in 2008.
A year later, Walsh was stood down by the New Zealand Rugby Union. He revived his career in Australia.
However, the IRB on Thursday announced he would be in charge for Wales' match against South Africa, followed by Scotland's match against Samoa.
Nigel Owens will referee the Boks' first tour match against Ireland. Stu Dickinson will officiate the Scotland vs SA fixture and George Clancy will take control of the England vs SA Test at Twickenham.

July 4, 2014
Meriwether Sheriff Chuck Smith reported that on Tuesday at about 6 a.m., approximately 45 officers and four K-9 units, representing various law enforcement agencies including Troup County and Harris County, simultaneously converged on two homes on Kodiak Lane and a home on Keepsake Lane in Greenville and carried out multiple search warrants regarding the distribution of methamphetamine.
Patrick Lanail Bray, 24, of Greenville, a wanted fugitive, was located at a resident on Keepsake Lane. He was wanted on the charges of kidnapping out of Troup County and armed robbery out of Greenville according to reports.
According to Det. Chris Pritchett with the LaGrange Police, Bray was wanted on a May 2013 incident in which he allegedly got into a domestic dispute with his girlfriend on Revis Street, stole her cellphone and pulled her out of a vehicle into a backyard. She was able to get away and he followed her for a while before he left the scene. He was wanted for charges of kidnapping and simple battery under a family violence offense and theft.
Bray has been on the run for two years and the U.S. Marshals tracked him down at the location. Bray was located in the back bedroom lying in a bed and was allegedly in possession of a loaded .45 caliber semi-automatic handgun and a clear bag containing crack cocaine.
He is being held in the Meriwether County Jail and facing charges of possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, possession of crack cocaine with intent to distribute and is being held outstanding warrants through Troup County and Greenville according to reports.
Christopher Brent Jackson, 38, his wife Tiffany L. Jackson, 30, and his brother Harlan O. Jackson, all of Greenville were arrested during the investigation on charges of trafficking methamphetamine. The three are currently being held in the Meriwether County Jail without bond.
Additional arrests are pending of those involved in the distribution and trafficking in large quantities of methamphetamines.
Investigators seized approximately seven kilograms, or three pounds of methamphetamine, estimating to a street value of $420,000; additional U.S. currency; 17 motor vehicles, motorcycles, four-wheelers and are in the process of seizing the two houses and parcels of land they are located on.
The case has been an eight month collaborative investigation between Meriwether County Sheriff's Office, the Greenville Police Department Narcotics Task Force and DEA, Harris County Sheriff's Office and Troup County Sheriff's Office.
The execution of warrants and arrests started in the early morning hours Tuesday July 1 and was completed around 9 p.m. that same day reports stated.
"I am very proud of all these law enforcement officers that were involved. We were able to run these three separate operations simultaneously, safely and with great success," Meriwether County Sheriff Smith said. "Getting one kilo of meth off the streets is great, but to get seven kilo's off the street and the drug dealers in one operation is outstanding."
Agencies involved in this operation included Meriwether County narcotics unit, patrol deputies, K-9 units and investigators, narcotics task force, Federal Drug Enforcement Agency, DEA's Clandestine lab teams, U.S. Marshals Southeast Regional Fugitive Task Force, Troup County Sheriff's Office Narcotics Unit and K-9 unit, Harris County Sheriff's Office Deputies and K-9 Units, and the Georgia Department of Corrections K-9 unit.
Sheriff James Woodruff stated:
"This case is a great example of agencies using their resources working together to continue to fight against illegal drugs and other crimes."

Beautiful card
I love the way this card came out. I love the paper and the quality of printing. I printed in black and white so I don't know if color would look the same. Very excited!!!
Quality Products!!
I have ordered everything for my wedding from magnet street, from save the date cards, invites, table settings to the thank you cards and have loved each and every item I have recieved!! They are extremely affordable and yet the quality of every product is so great, you would think we paid double than what we did. I was originally hesitant to order online but when we recieved our save the date magnets, we knew we could trust that everything we ordered would be perfect. Another amazing aspect of the site is that everything is so customizable that I genuinely felt my invites and stationary were unique and something no one had seen before. I didnt think the wedding stationary was very important but was so impressed by the compliments I recieved from my friends and family. I would absolutely recommend this and any other product from magnet street!!

I feel it is critical to the agency to take this time and review our programs, hear from our customers and staff and gather important information that will guide the agencys strategic initiatives form the next few years. I want to ensure that IWD is serving all of its customers in the most efficient and proactive way possible, indicated Director Elisabeth Buck.
Iowa Workforce Development provides essential services that touch the lives of nearly every Iowan or business at some point. Be it assistance with finding employment or employees, ensuring that our workforce has a safe environment, assisting individuals and companies with unemployment or workers compensation related issues, or utilizing our wealth of workforce data to assist individuals and businesses with their decisions.
The IowaJobs.org Web site was recently enhanced to become the primary source for companies to post their current openings. The recent enhancements include the opportunity to scrape jobs off of companies and post all of the positions on IowaJobs.org, completely automating the process for Iowa employers and increasing the number of available positions in one location for Iowa jobseekers.
A recent product developed by the department is the Workforce Skills Assessment. Designed to identify the types of potential vacancies occurring within an organization now and in the future and the skill sets needed to fill those vacancies, it will be a valuable tool for the state to utilize in meeting the workforce challenges in the near future.
Our next step is to take the program statewide. We certainly expect to see differences across the state, and plan to have a report ready in early 2008, stated Director Buck.

House panel targets DoD acquisition reform, but will that be enough?
Wednesday - 11/6/2013, 2:29pm EST
The House Armed Services Committee is taking another crack at defense acquisition reform.
Committee chairman Buck McKeon (R-Calif.) recently tasked Vice Chairman Mac Thornberry (R-Texas) to head up a new panel looking at ways to reform the defense acquisition process.
"While this Committee has led successful efforts to improve the way the Department acquires items and services, there are still significant challenges facing the defense acquisition system," McKeon said in a release. "We cannot afford a costly and ineffective acquisition system, particularly when faced with devastating impacts of repeated budget cuts and sequestration."
The announcement came as experts on defense acquisition gave the committee some guidance on how to proceed. One of the witnesses was Dov Zakheim, former undersecretary of Defense (comptroller) and now a senior adviser at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. He says a new approach to defense acquisition reform has the potential for new results and the old approach won't work this time around either.
"The way that we've been trying to do it, which is essentially focusing on specific issues with legislation, addressing them or process improvements is just not the way to go," Zakheim told In Depth with Francis Rose. "It clearly hasn't worked."
Real reform starts with educating the acquisition workforce
When Zakheim first came to Washington in 1975 to testify before the Senate Committee on Government Affairs, that body conducted a series of hearings, one of which was on acquisition reform.
"Here we are well over 35 years later still grappling with the same problem," he said. "I believe the fundamental issue revolves around personnel. If you don't have an educated consumer, you're just not going to buy the right things."
At the time of those earlier hearings, DoD's focus on acquisition was in purchasing goods, while today's focus has shifted more to acquiring services. Zakheim said this change has made it more imperative for the Pentagon to hire the right acquisition personnel.
"When you talk about goods, clearly our people by definition are simply not up to speed with the state of the art," he said. "There's nothing on the civilian side that requires them to get any kind of technical re-certification.They could go to Defense Acquisition University and maybe take an online course, but that's not the same thing as getting up to speed with aeronautical engineering or computer science or IT or physics or whatever."
At the same time, a lack of knowledge on the hardware side means DoD acquisition personnel rely too heavily on services contractors for guidance.
"It's not so much knowledge of the substance, but it is knowledge of how to manage these kinds of contracts," Zakheim said. "How to write them up. How to oversee them. How to ensure that there's accountability for those who do oversee them."
These are very similar to the problems Zakehim encountered when he was on the Commission on Wartime Contracting in Iraq and Afghanistan.
"What I found was that people rely far too heavily on services contractors — even for managing that," he said. "So, you get tangled up in all kinds of questions like: 'What is inherently governmental and should contractors be potentially advising program managers to go in one direction as opposed to another?' ... So, again, the educational part is different in the sense that you need a different kind of education, but you still need the education."
Other agencies can learn from DoD's successes
Bill Greenwalt, a visting fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, also testified before the House Armed Services Committee about how the Homeland Security Department could apply some of the lessons learned from the Pentagon regarding acquisitions.
He said in a Pentagon Solutions interview recently that DoD is good at bringing in contractors and commercial solutions to leverage the lessons learned in that marketplace — for instance, research and development in the technology industry.
Greenwalt told the committee the shift to Lowest Price, Technically Acceptable is a bad idea.
"LPTA kind of assumes that the government knows the requirement and outlines that requirement and the bidders respond to it and whoever has the lowest price wins," he said. "But, there are other things out there that the government doesn't know best, the government doesn't know everything and there's a need for best-value solutions and best-value contracting and I think LPTA has overtaken best value and that's something of a concern."
Greenwalt says sequestration and the Budget Control Act offer an opportunity for the government and oversight agencies to refocus on the bottom line and to implement acquisition reform goals of the mid-1990s tailored to any new circumstances.

Josh Taylor cemented his New Bern legacy with one final moment — a state championship.
The senior shattered nearly every school record — touchdowns (130), wins (41), total yards (11,296), passing yards (7,987) and rushing yards (3,309).
And when his team needed him the most, Taylor delivered.
He pioneered the Bears 80 yards in less than four minutes, setting up Jachin Watkins touchdown run with 26 seconds remaining in New Bern's 39-38 win over Porter Ridge in the 4-A state championship game in Chapel Hill.
"Just having the state championship at the end of my career is the cherry on top of a good career," Taylor said. "I've enjoyed playing at New Bern and playing with all of my brothers around me."
Taylor's efficient passing, elusive running ability, poise under pressure and leadership has earned him the 2012 Sun Journal Co-Player of the Year honor.
New Bern finished 15-0, and won the Mideastern Conference for the third year in a row.
"I'm not one to take all the credit," Taylor said. "A lot of credit goes to the coaches, the offensive linemen, the defense for allowing us to win games and it's a team effort every year.
"My stats might stick out, but they get a lot of credit."
Taylor completed 142-of-230 passes on the season for 2,300 yards and 25 touchdowns. He also made opponents pay with his legs.
He rushed for 1,159 yards and 17 touchdowns.
"I just had to play within myself," he said. "I tried to do less this year because I had so many great players around me. I did whatever it took.
"That's what makes us so dynamic. It's hard to stop just one thing. A lot of people try to stop our option and then we'd throw the ball a lot."
Taylor made his first start as New Bern's quarterback as a freshman — in a 24-14 loss at Ashley High School in Wilmington on Oct. 23, 2009.
The past three years, the Bears made it as far as the Eastern Regional Finals.
After two previous losses in the state semifinals, Taylor willed his team over the hurdle with a 23-6 win over Scotland County.
The following week, Taylor was named the Most Valuable Player of the state championship game.
"I can't really describe it," Taylor said. "I don't think it's completely sunk in yet. I probably won't realize how big this is until I've grown up a little bit."
On the way to the state finals, Taylor ran for 202 yards against Pine Forest in the first round of the playoffs. In the second round, against Hoggard, Taylor scampered for 230 yards. He ran for 114 yards against Scotland County in the state semifinal game.
"I think I just ran better this year," he said. "I was a little more physical and I don't think people saw that unless they were playing against me."
Just like former NFL quarterback John Elway, Taylor's final game, at least in high school, ends with a championship.
He also had his memorable "Drive."
Trailing Porter Ridge, 38-33, Taylor made plays with his legs, connected with wide receivers Bra'lon Cherry and Chandler Powell, and marched his squad to the title.
"I think people are going to be talking about that for a while," Taylor said. "I've already had people come up to me and refer it as 'The Drive.'
"It's pretty fitting considering it was the game-winning drive. We persevered. We worked hard and made big plays. It was the perfect drive."
Now what's next for Taylor?
The 5-foot-11, 175-pound quarterback is hoping to play football in college.
While he doesn't have any formal offers yet, he's been in contact with William & Mary, The Citadel and Appalachian State. Recently, N.C. State inquired about Taylor walking on.
"I definitely feel like I belong," Taylor said. "I think my height is killing me and there is no film of me playing any other position. Things will work out if I keep working hard."

The State Legislature meets at the Kansas State Capitol in Topeka.
Bleeding Kansas
The Kansas Territory was created out of the Kansas-Nebraska Act in 1854. In several of the provisions of the act, the law allowed the settlers of the newly-created territory to determine, by vote, whether Kansas, once statehood was achieved, would be entered as either a free state or a slave state. The act created a rush of both abolitionist Northern and pro-slavery Southern immigrants to the territory, hoping that strength through numbers would place Kansas in their camp. Animosities between the newly-arrived sides quickly turned into open violence and guerrilla warfare, giving name to this period known as Bleeding Kansas.
The Bogus Legislature
During Kansas' first elections for a territorial government on March 30, 1855, nearly 5,000 Missouri "Border Ruffians" led by federal Senator David Rice Atchison and his followers, crossed the territorial border to stuff ballot boxes with votes for pro-slavery candidates. Using their overwhelming numbers, the Missouri Border Ruffians elected 37 out of 38 candidates for the Territorial Legislature. Free-Staters immediately called foul, naming the new Kansas Territorial Legislature, the "Bogus Legislature." Upon convening in Pawnee and shortly later at the Shawnee Methodist Mission, the Legislature began crafting over a thousand pages of laws aimed at making Kansas a slave state.
The Four Constitutions and the Battle for Legitimacy
In response to the illegitimacy of the Bogus Legislature, Free-Staters convened their own unauthorized shadow legislature and territorial government in Topeka, crafting their own Topeka Constitution in late 1855. While the document was debated and submitted to a vote to the territory, it was never accepted by the federal government as it considered the Free-State body illegitimate and in rebellion. The pro-slavery Legislature's response to the Free-Staters and growing violence was the writing of the Lecompton Constitution in 1857. Due to an electoral boycott by abolitionist groups and the questions regarding the validity of the Legislature itself, it never officially became law.
While the Lecompton Constitution was debated, new elections for the Territorial Legislature in 1857 gave the Free-Staters a majority government, caused in part by a boycott by pro-slavery groups. With this new mandate, the Legislature convened to write the Leavenworth Constitution, a radically progressive document for the Victorian era in its wording of rights for women and African-Americans. The constitution was adopted in 1858, though it too suffered the same fate as previous documents when the U.S. Congress refused to ratify it.
Following the Leavenworth Constitution's defeat, the Legislature again crafted a new document the following year, dubbed the Wyandotte Constitution. A compromise of sorts, it outlawed slavery in the territory, while removing progressive sections on |Native Americans, women and blacks. The Legislature successfully passed the document, and submitted it to public referendum. It was passed by the Kansas electorate on October 4, [[1859.
Statehood and the American Civil War
Following long debates in both the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate, on January 29, 1861, President James Buchanan authorized Kansas to become the 34th state of United States. It had entered into the Union as a free state. Only six days later, the Confederate States of America formed between seven Southern states that had seceded from the United States in the previous two months.
Article 2 of the Kansas Constitution establishes when the Legislature is to be in session. Section 8 of Article 2 states that the Legislature is to convene on the second Monday of January of each year. Section 8 also limits the length of regular sessions in even-numbered years to ninety calendar days, but it allows these sessions to be extended by a two-thirds affirmative vote of both houses. In 2010, this kind of extension occurred, moving the session's adjournment date from March 30th to May 28th.
Bills may be pre-filed between sessions in odd years and sessions in even years for consideration during the following sessions.[1]
- See also: Dates of 2011 state legislative sessions
In 2011, the Legislature will be in session from January 10 through late May.
- See also: Dates of 2010 state legislative sessions
In 2010, the Legislature's regular session was scheduled to last from January 11th to March 30th. However, the session was extended, and it did not adjourn until May 28th.[2]
Elections for the office of Kansas House of Representatives were held in Kansas on November 2, 2010.
Legislature pay cut
Kansas House members voted Feb. 9, 2010, to cut their pay and the salaries of other top elected and appointed officials by 5 percent to help balance the state's fiscal year 2010 budget.[3] State Rep. Melvin Neufeld, R-Ingalls, proposed the cuts in an amendment to legislation ratifying cuts made last year by Kansas Gov. Mark Parkinson, a Democrat.
Neufeld estimated the measure to cut the pay of all elected state officials, judges, cabinet secretaries and appointed state officials by 5 percent would save the state $1.5 million by the end of the current fiscal year June 30. Revenue estimates prepared in early February by the Kansas Legislative Research Department showed that declining revenues would likely leave a negative balance of $39 million in the 2010 budget. The pay cut became effective March 11, 2010.
- See also: Comparison of state legislative salaries
As of 2010, members of the Kansas legislature are paid $88.66/day. Additionally, legislators receive $116/day per diem tied to the federal rate.[4]
The $88.66/day that Kansas legislators are paid as of 2010 is an increase over the $88.40 they were paid during legislative sessions in 2007. Per diem has increased from $99/day in 2007 to $116/day in 2010.[5]
When sworn in
Kansas legislators assume office the second Monday of January after their election.
The Kansas Senate is the upper house of the Kansas Legislature. It is composed of 40 Senators representing an equal amount of districts, each with a population of at least 67,210 inhabitants.[6] Members of the Senate are elected to a four year term without term limits.
Like other upper houses of state and territorial legislatures and the federal U.S. Senate, the Senate is reserved with special functions such as confirming or rejecting gubernatorial appointments to executive departments, the state cabinet, commissions and boards.
Leadership of the Senate
The President of the Senate presides over the body, appointing members to all of the Senate's committees and joint committees, and may create other committees and subcommittees if desired. Unlike other states, the Lieutenant Governor of Kansas does not preside over the Senate. Since a 1972 amendment to the Kansas Constitution, the Lieutenant Governor's duties have been severed from the legislative branch, and is active in other areas of the Kansas state government such as commissions on military affairs and health insurance. In the Senate President's absence, the President Pro Tempore presides.

Like the Kansas Senate, he Kansas House of Representatives does not have term limits.
Leadership of the House
The Speaker of the House presides over the House of Representatives. The Speaker is elected by the majority party caucus followed by confirmation of the full House through the passage of a House Resolution. In addition to presiding over the body, the Speaker is also its chief leadership position, and controls the flow of legislation and committee assignments. Other House leaders, such as the majority and minority leaders, are elected by their respective party caucuses relative to their party's strength in the chamber.

ELON — Wet and no doubt weary from what he had witnessed, Elon University coach Jason Swepson found the descriptive terms as quickly as Wofford's Eric Breitenstein had found running lanes.
"We got manhandled, let's be honest," Swepson said in opening Saturday's postgame remarks. "It was a good, old-fashioned, butt-kicking. We got outcoached. We got outplayed. We got out-everythinged."
It added up to a bulldozing of historic proportions.
With Breitenstein steamrolling to a Southern Conference single-game record 321 rushing yards, Wofford systematically pulverized Elon 49-24 at rainy Rhodes Stadium.
The Terriers, ranked No. 6 in the Football Championship Subdivision, broke off big touchdown runs on their first two offensive plays of the game and proceeded to pound out 500 yards on the ground, an Elon all-time worst for rushing yards allowed.
Breitenstein burst into wide-open space on his first touch. Swiveling his head left and right as if he couldn't believe the room available, it grew to be a 90-yard scoring rumble that vaulted Wofford ahead 14-3 with less than five minutes elapsed.
By the end, 26 carries later, the burly 225-pound fullback had become the third player in Southern Conference history to author a 300-yard rushing performance.
And it seemed as if Breitenstein might finish with 309 yards and thus fall just shy of the league's 313-yard milestone set five years ago by former Appalachian State star quarterback Armanti Edwards.
But after sitting out a fourth-quarter series, Wofford coach Mike Ayers reinserted Breitenstein with 2:51 remaining. He gained 3 yards and then 9 yards and, record attained, exited to the Terriers sideline.
"Coach Ayers came up and said, 'You're 4 yards away from a SoCon single-game record. What do you want to do? Do you want to go in or do you think you're done?' " Breitenstein said. "I was like, 'Well, I'd like to have it.' So he said, 'All right. You're back in for the next series. Whatever you need to get it.' Then he said, 'Just don't get hurt.' "
Coming off a confidence-building scare of Georgia Southern last week, Elon defensive lineman Tony Thompson and linebacker Odell Benton disappointedly identified assignment breakdowns — failed gap responsibilities — as technical issues that plagued the Phoenix (2-3 overall, 0-2 conference) here Saturday.
Meanwhile, Wofford (4-0, 2-0), rested from its open date on the schedule, looked crisp in cranking out machine-like efficiency with its tricky triple-option offense, which entered as the top-rated rushing attack in the FCS.
"When they're dialed in, it's tough to stop," Thompson said. "We weren't as physical as we should have been, and they just had us.
"The triple option, if somebody's not in the right place at the right time, there's going to be a big play. If you're not playing your man or you're one step too slow, they'll break you off."
Turnovers backed Elon into a tough position, too.
On the fourth play of the game, penetrating Wofford linebacker Alvin Scioneaux stuck Elon's Karl Bostick, who fumbled. The Terriers recovered and immediately cashed in with Donovan Johnson's 32-yard touchdown scamper on their ensuing snap.
Elon receiver Aaron Mellette generated significant production (13 catches, 177 yards, two scores), but he lost a second-quarter fumble on a crunching hit.
Wofford quickly converted that into a 21-3 lead on Brian Kass' 16-yard touchdown pass to tight end Michael Harpe.
"We can't give them the ball back like that," Mellette said. "You don't want to turn the ball over at all. And you really don't want to turn the ball over on your side of the 50(-yard line), give them an even shorter field."
Wofford fooled Elon and went up 28-10 when Breitenstein, untouched, took a misdirection pitchout 19 yards and reached the end zone with 37.2 seconds left in the first half.
That had to be deflating moment for the Phoenix, which had scored 1:32 earlier on 7-yard pass to Mellette to cap smoothly executed drive by quarterback Thomas Wilson.
"I thought we played good enough on offense and special teams to give us a chance to get the game to the fourth quarter," Swepson said. "Obviously, the defense struggled all day long."
Mellette's second touchdown catch was an improbable one. Wilson's pass pinballed off the hands of Elon receiver Jeremy Peterson and a Wofford defensive back, the ball wobbling more with each deflection, before Mellette grabbed it for a 15-yard score.
Less than four minutes later, Adam Shreiner's 43-yard field goal trimmed Elon's deficit to 35-21 late in the third quarter.
Touchdown runs of 2 and 39 yards from Kass, the Wofford quarterback, erased any remaining doubt.
"We gave up, obviously, way too many big plays," Benton said. "I think we were just thinking too much. That kind of cut the edge off of our physical play.
"We were prepared for whatever they threw at us. They didn't run anything different that we didn't practice all week. We were just overanxious and we just got beat."
-- EXTRA POINTS ...:Breitenstein has shredded Elon for 538 rushing yards and six touchdowns in these teams' last two meetings. He rumbled for 217 yards and four touchdowns last year against the Phoenix. ... Even in minting the Southern Conference single-game record, Breitenstein ended up just short of Wofford's school record. Former quarterback Shawn Graves set that mark with 323 rushing yards against Lenoir-Rhyne in 1990, when the Terriers were in Division II. ... Early in the second quarter, Thompson pounced on a fumble and Benton intercepted a pass in the end zone as Elon's defense delivered stops on back-to-back Wofford drives inside the Phoenix's 10-yard line. ... Elon's Wilson finished 31 of 47 passing for 322 yards. ... Shreiner booted three field goals, increasing the Elon kicker's streak to eight straight without a miss. ... Elon plays at Appalachian State next weekend.
