Treasury tackles IT reviews in a new way
Thursday - 8/16/2012, 5:16am EDT
This story is Part 2 of Federal News Radio's special report Inside TechStat.
The Treasury Department is bucking the trend in how agencies are using the TechStat review process.
Treasury didn't apply TechStat to an IT program in trouble. Instead, it used the tool to improve systems already in good condition — it's three procurement databases.
Treasury Chief Information Officer Robyn East said each of the systems works fine on its own, but they don't work together. She said without that integration it's harder for Treasury to get a complete view of what it's buying.

East decided to apply the TechStat review process to figure out how best to merge the systems. By bringing the CIO, chief acquisition officer (CAO) and other stakeholders together in the analysis session, East said Treasury took the first important step.
After TechStat, East said it was clear consolidating the three systems in the short term wasn't possible. But plenty of opportunities were available to work on other pieces of the puzzle.
"Out of that came some initiatives that will take us forward, that focus on standardizing the data we use, having some standard definitions of procurement data across the those systems, and starting to bring data together out of those various systems so that we can have a more strategic use of the data for decision- making around procurement," East said in an exclusive interview with Federal News Radio. "We have started an enterprise data management program and it's very focused on a more strategic use of data for executive decision making. We have interest in not just procurement data that we can gather from across the department and use strategically, but we are building into a warehouse-like environment other types of data."
She said the warehouse started with human resources data as the foundation and Treasury wants to add financial information too.
Realizing unexpected benefits
Treasury's experience and application of TechStat is much different than most agencies. Many departments use TechStat to bring IT programs back from the brink of failure.
But as agencies get more comfortable using TechStat to improve systems, new and unexpected benefits are becoming more apparent.
"Technology has this amazing ability to lever up in other areas," said Steven VanRoekel, the federal CIO. "It produces efficiencies, productivities and better service to your constituents, customers and employees. In many cases what we are trying to do with TechStat is find savings."
VanRoekel said the Homeland Security Department recently took an immigration system through a second review session and found it could increase the timeline of modules by realizing actual savings.
"They actually had a few citizen-facing components up and running that weren't planned for the next few years," he said. "They could take these components that were probably years away, and lots of risk and lots of dollars away, and when they were delivered the technology would probably be relatively out of date, and bring them forward. TechStat was the way we had an evidence-based, face-to-face discussion about this stuff and was able to redefine it and develop it in a more agile, modular way. It will end up saving money in the out years."
Speeding up change
Treasury, like DHS, used TechStat to initiate change at a quicker rate.
The CIO and CAO offices are leading several of the initiatives. The working groups, created by TechStat, first developed a data dictionary to make sure the agency was using the same procurement terms in a common way.
Paul Sforza, a senior advisor to the Treasury CIO, works on the procurement effort with the CAO's office. He said the working groups also offered a second set of short-term recommendations to improve data management.
"Anyone who is a procurement professional across the enterprise should have a place they could go to to communicate requirements, to collaborate on documents and procurement documents," he said. "Those three investments essentially work toward providing that portal, that business intelligence platform and the movement of the data from the procurement systems into that environment."
East said despite the fact that budget and culture challenges are holding back the consolidation of their three procurement systems, the current efforts are following the right path.
For instance, Sforza said, TechStat brought the CIO and CAO offices closer together so when it's time to merge the three systems, it will be easier.
"Having worked side-by-side for several months on an issue that honestly was a tough issue for the procurement office, the opportunities they have or the issues they deal with are very real," he said. "So having a partner on the IT side who can help them articulate the issue and the value, but also come up with a path forward on how do you begin addressing these issues, I think it really helped in solidifying the relationship between the two organizations."
Additionally, Sforza said the timing was finally right to go down the path of merging procurement systems. He said Treasury tried previously, but the effort fell short.
"There is a bit of a perfect storm in that funding is getting more and more restricted. There is a desire to have more active governance, more involvement between business and IT in looking at where it's spending its money," he said. "So the combination of those things, I think, is enabling the decision making to occur where in the past it might have been more difficult."
Highlighting solutions
DHS' Customs and Border Protection directorate also found the environment ripe for TechStat. CBP put its decade-old Automated Commercial Environment (ACE) program through TechStat in 2010.
"One of the things TechStat does is put you up in lights so people want to see now that you are up in lights, how you will respond," said Linda Jacksta, the executive director of the Cargo Systems Program Office and co-program manager of ACE. "We were able to respond well and through that process, and I think that bodes well for the commitment of CBP and the department."
Jacksta said TechStat showed CBP is committed to fixing ACE over the long term. In fact, she said DHS CIO Richard Spires recently moved ACE to yellow from red on the IT Dashboard in light of its improvements over the last two years.
She added CBP uses TechStat as a management tool to get a fair and unbiased review of the programs' progress from all sides.
Steven VanRoekel, federal chief information officer
"TechStat gives you a healthy opportunity to be objective about where you really stand with the program and what you really need to do to turn it around," Jacksta said. "It can be helpful rather than hurtful. You get out of it what you put into it, so if you go in to it with the right frame of reference and you can be objective about how your program is really fairing and seek counsel of those around you who may have differing opinions, you will fare well."
One criticism of TechStat is it's still a CIO-run tool. But VanRoekel said if CIOs are not receiving cooperation from other parts of the agency, he will step in.
"I've told CIOs in government or other people in government across the communities to make the next one with me and we can make sure that gets conveyed that if the right people are not showing up, let's use my convening power to make that happen," VanRoekel said. "I've had it happen a couple of times. It's been a good way of ensuring accountability on this stuff."
Earlier this year, OMB introduced the next phase of TechStat, called PortfolioStat. VanRoekel said PortfolioStat expands the reviews to analyze agency investments across an entire business function, not just IT.

Earlier this year, the ASPCA assisted in a three-state dog fighting bust alongside the FBI, Missouri Highway Patrol and several other agencies.
When we found these dogs, many were doomed to live their whole lives tethered by heavy chains—and on the day of the raid, many were left outside to suffer through a blizzard.
Today, after months under the care of our behaviorists, veterinarians and tireless responders, dogs rescued from this raid are thriving. In fact, some have already headed to rescue for adoption! Still others remain in our care.
We wanted to show you some of these dogs' happy faces and thank you for helping us make their rescue possible. We couldn't have taken on this massive operation without your help!
Slideshow: Amazing Transformation of Dog Fighting Victims
I have an Am Staff & a pitbulls. These are the most loyal breed of dogs that anyone could own. It is not the animals fault that humans are ignorant to the fact that no matter what the breed is it is the2 legged animals that need training. Dogs are dependent on their owners and anyone who is cruel enough to fight this animal should actually be placed in an inhuman situation and be made to live the way they treat their animals. It is difficult to go to the humane societies and see that most of the dogs that are caged are of the bully breeds. There needs to be some way to get the education to the breeders and the area police departments that individuals breeding or selling and purchasing these animals need to have home inspections and back ground checks before they are allowed to have these dogs. There should also be a law that mandates that any one who purchases a bully breed have these animals spayed or neutered before they are 6months of age. Owning a dog and being an responsible owner are 2 very different meanings . Dog fighting is a horrid crime and the time these individuals get is not enough for what they place these helpless animals through. Maybe judges should think about placing these individuals in cages and treat them the same way these dogs are treated....starved...made as bait dogs....helpless ....and defenseless to the cruelty that these dogs go through for WHAT.....a few extra dollars they make to buy drugs.....what a shameful individuals these persons are
That is remarkable. I love this ending. These dogs are so lovable and adorable. Thanks for all you all do, in saving all the pets you can. I read the comments on euthanization. I personally believe that it is not humane to euthanize a healthy living animal. However, I had three dogs euthanized this year along. It broke my heart dearly. These dogs needed expensive medical help that I could not give them. Also, the recovery rate was not great. This is an issue that needs long extensive research and observing to come to some sane and humane policies and procedures regarding this.
The ASPCA doesn't kill animals in their NYC Facility. They have them killed at the NYACC. Henry Burgh, the founder of the ASPCA, must be rolling over in his grave! As for PETA - they kill puppies & kittens in their vans and dump the bodies in shopping mall dumpsters. I didn't read this on Facebook. I read it in a book by Nathan Winograd, titled "Redemption". The book is about making shelters "no kill".
that is a word that makes me soooooo mad (dog fighting) dont it make you mad i adopted 4 dogs from here amber,banksy,fudgie,hershey and soon ceaser so ill get many blessings from up above i love animals and seeing an animal get beat or abused just makes me sick and i just want to adopt them all but i dont have that much money to care for them so with the 4 little angels i got is just enouf for me so if you see a stray animal pick it up hug it and bring it in and care for it train it love it and dont you dare smack hit kick or any thing to abuse it or i will hunt you down and hurt you so bad you will not be able to talk for a month so care and dont forget (theres no exuse for animal abuse)!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Congratulations to all those who helped these dogs!
I'm always so pleased when I hear good news like this dogs are wonderful animals and shouls be treated with love and respect thank you for what you are doing Marilyn B.
False information about rescue groups- including PETA and ASPCA- are being circulated by Nathan Winograd and his no kill shelter propaganda. This guy is actually a shill for breeders- before you stop donating to groups that do so much to rescue animals, find out the truth. Don't be so lazy that you actually believe the crap posted on the internet.

That is, until he has the misfortune to witness a murder in the alley behind Jolly's Deli -- and worse, to be seen witnessing it. With all of his nine lives suddenly at risk, Joe's got no choice but to get to the bottom of the heinous crime -- because his mouse-hunting days are over for good unless he can help bring a killer to justice.

At a Glance
Why Get Tested?
The hormone receptor test determines if a breast cancer tumor is positive for estrogen and progesterone receptors, helping to guide treatment and determine prognosis
When to Get Tested?
When you have been diagnosed with invasive breast cancer or when your cancer has recurred
Sample Required?
A sample of breast cancer tissue obtained during a biopsy or a tumor removed surgically during a lumpectomy or mastectomy
Test Preparation Needed?
Your health practitioner may have you discontinue taking hormones for a time period before your sample is collected.
The Test Sample
What is being tested?
Receptors are specialized proteins on the surface of or within cells that recognize and bind to other substances. The binding typically has a specific effect on the cells. Many, but not all, breast cancer cells have receptors that bind to the hormones estrogen and progesterone. Breast cancer tumors with estrogen receptors (ER) and progesterone receptors (PR) depend on the hormones to grow and divide. ER and PR testing of breast tumor tissue determines if one or both types of receptors are present.
Knowing if a tumor depends on hormones to grow helps a health practitioner determine a person's risk of breast cancer recurrence and whether it can be treated with hormone therapy to block estrogen and progesterone. About two-thirds of breast cancer tissues are positive for both ER and PR.
In 2010, the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) and the College of American Pathologists (CAP) jointly published guidelines that recommend that all tumors from individuals with newly diagnosed invasive breast cancer be evaluated for estrogen and progesterone receptors. The guidelines also state that all recurrent breast cancers should be tested and that the option of testing should be provided for patients who have non-invasive breast cancer.
How is the sample collected for testing?
A sample of breast cancer tissue is obtained by doing a fine needle aspiration, needle biopsy, or surgical biopsy, or a tumor is removed surgically during a lumpectomy or mastectomy.
NOTE: If undergoing medical tests makes you or someone you care for anxious, embarrassed, or even difficult to manage, you might consider reading one or more of the following articles: Coping with Test Pain, Discomfort, and Anxiety, Tips on Blood Testing, Tips to Help Children through Their Medical Tests, and Tips to Help the Elderly through Their Medical Tests.
Another article, Follow That Sample, provides a glimpse at the collection and processing of a blood sample and throat culture.
Is any test preparation needed to ensure the quality of the sample?
Your health practitioner may have you discontinue taking hormones for a time period before your sample is collected.

Customer Raves & Reviews
Love the customer service and quality!
I can't say enough positive things. The templates and ease of customization got me hooked. It's probably by far the best online service out there. But it was Cynthia from customer service that really sold me. She was so helpful to get the added customization done and shipped so quickly since I had waited to the last minute to do the programs. I would definitely refer Magnet Street to everyone!

Chris -- 2011-03-08
There are quite a few terms for "low-fat milk," and a number of them look like they might form a sort of eggcornish "complex": skim/skimmed/slim/slimmed/trim/trimmed milk. Skim/skimmed milk is well documented and probably the "acorn" here if there is one, but I've never had the energy to try and disentangle them.
"Skimp milk," however, clearly looks like an eggcornish derivation of "skim milk." Skimmed milk does skimp on the fat compared to whole milk.
There are only about a half dozen hits that seem authentic; the puns probably double that number. Examples:
I drink whole milk too. I find that drinking skimp
milk doesn't fool your appetite—it'll just demand
three times as much in revenge for being short
"If you feel like having almonds for breakfast, go for it," says Gibbs. "They're cardio-protective and provide energy for hours." He also wants women to drink a glass of skimp milk for a dash of calcium.
I was raised on skimp milk…and every now and then Id get treated to real milk! (whole milk!!) when I went to someone elses house or something.
http://www.skratchlounge.com/lofiversio … t2125.html
I like it! Using it is skimping on the fat, as you say. In the past at least, it was also a way to skimp on the food budget. And the connotations of "cheesiness" and miserliness fit for me— I always felt like I wasn't getting full nutritional value when I was given that kind of watery stuff as if it were milk.
*If the human mind were simple enough for us to understand,
we would be too simple-minded to understand it* .
An instant classic and, like the best of them, it's been sitting under our noses for years – well spotted. Many years ago I worked, very briefly, in a piggery and I believe the piggery-owner was paid to accept skimmed milk which was considered a waste product at that time. But peering at dawn at a lake of milk glittering with bronze powder from the wings of drowned moths remains a visual peak experience which I'd almost forgotten – thanks for reminding me, Pat.
Skim milk (by FDA legal terms, I think) is not called that anymore. It's nonfat milk… Not as easily eggcornable! :-)
Feeling quite combobulated.

Damn, you're right. Googling "nonvat milk" yielded nothing relevant, but I did get one hit for "nunfat milk"! But it's pretty clear from the context that it's just a misspelling rather than an eggcorn: "... mum says stead of cuttin down milk u can switch to 1% or nunfat milk… thats wat i did.. an u can mix 2% milk an nunfat milk til u get use to it an then u dont mis 2% no more."
I'll toast to that!

Trusting the electronics
Electronics for complex systems
Today's vehicles are equipped with increasingly complex systems, for example when it comes to safety, steering, braking and suspension. Radars, cameras and other sensors are connected in intricate systems to help prevent accidents or otherwise assist the driver. The drawback is that there are more things that can break. That's why Volvo Group is working on technologies that can predict malfunctions before they cause problems.
Hostile environment
A vehicle is in many ways a bad place for sensitive electronic systems. There is always a risk that moisture, temperature shifts, dirt or interference will cause a problem, such as a short circuit. It is of course important that the damage of such faults is limited and that it doesn't impede the vehicle's overall performance or causes a dangerous situation. For the most part, in today's vehicles, a warning light warns the driver of the problem and the system falls back on mechanical options. This is an example of a so called graceful degradation, meaning that the system continues to operate, but at a reduced level of service.
System wide analysis
In a traditional system the diagnostics is somewhat "short sighted", the individual component may report a problem, but it can't analyse the system as a whole. Therefore a single faulty condition may cause several reported failures in the affected components, but the system misses to combine these and detect the actual problem. At Volvo Group we are working to develop diagnostic technologies that can handle increasingly complex electronic systems.
However, understanding failures on system level is only part of the future system analysis. The best
thing is of course to avoid failures all together. So, instead of diagnosing problems, the system will make a prognosis on when failures are likely to occur. This approach of prognostics, rather than diagnostics, makes it theoretically possible to avoid or at least drastically reduce unplanned stops in the future, and it can also include mechanical, pneumatic and hydraulic systems.
Safety through system models
Volvo Group is also working with system models, used to evaluate the timing properties of different features. Many systems in a vehicle are time-critical or time-dependant and the effects of improper timing can cause unwanted situations.
By building models it is possible to analyse results in a controlled environment, for example if the brakes are working within a specific time span after the pedal has been pushed down, or that the air bags are released within a certain time span after the vehicle has discovered a collision.
Current collaborations
Volvo Group is working with AUTOSAR (AUTomotive Open System ARchitecture), a standardised software architecture developed in collaboration with other automobile manufacturers, suppliers and tool developers. By creating a standard for electronics we can ensure cost efficiency and that quality control is the same internationally, but it is also a key to manage the growing electronics complexity.
Beside the AUTOSAR project, Volvo Group is also working towards the ISO26262 standard. The ISO26262 will be released in 2011, followed by a heavy vehicles update in 2014-2015.

We use the latest fiber laser technology to engrave our tags. Many pet tag manufacturers use lower power CO2 laser engravers that do not actually engrave the metal but rather mark or laser bond on the metal. This type of laser marking does leave a clean dark mark but will eventually be illegible as the metal from the tag wears down. We at dogIDs use a high power fiber laser to engrave our tags which actually vaporizes and removes the metal so it is actually engraving instead of marking or laser bonding. This allows us to engrave deeply into the metal with pristine detail and a nice contrasting engrave color...Excellent looks with a true engrave that will NEVER wear off of your dog's tag. Engraving guaranteed for life...PERIOD!Learn more about our free engraving
At dogIDs, our mission is to support and improve the health and safety of furry friends across the world, and give them the unconditional love that they provide us on a daily basis. Each day, we focus on providing high quality, personalized dog products and helpful blog posts to help you and your pet.Learn More

The great war epic of Western literature, translated by acclaimed classicist Robert Fagles
Dating to the ninth century B.C., Homer's timeless poem still vividly conveys the horror and heroism of men and gods wrestling with towering emotions and battling amidst devastation and destruction, as it moves inexorably to the wrenching, tragic conclusion of the Trojan War. Renowned classicist Bernard Knox observes in his superb introduction that although the violence of the Iliad is grim and relentless, it coexists with both images of civilized life and a poignant yearning for peace.
Combining the skills of a poet and scholar, Robert Fagles, winner of the PEN/Ralph Manheim Medal for Translation and a 1996 Academy Award in Literature from the American Academy of Arts and Letters, brings the energy of contemporary language to this enduring heroic epic. He maintains the drive and metric music of Homer's poetry, and evokes the impact and nuance of the Iliad's mesmerizing repeated phrases in what Peter Levi calls "an astonishing performance."

"Outstanding in every way"
I own this book and have been intending to read it for years. When I found it available on Audible, I knew that I would finally "read" it, and began listening to it. It was one of the first Audible books I purchased.
Being somewhat ignorant on the subjects dealt with in this book, I had to listen to the first hour about four times before it made sense to me, but I am so happy that I did. The rest of it was a piece of cake - very delicious. Who would have thought Homer would be so descriptive, funny, endearing and enlightening? I guess that is why this work has endured for so long.
I soon learned that the narrator makes or breaks an audio book, and Derek Jacobi is absolutely unbeatable as a narrator. I could listen to him all day. His characterizations are suburb. He made me laugh and cry. I will definitely listen to this one again and again.
This work is nothing short of magnificent. Superb translation and wonderful reading of the very poetic font of Western Civilization. Derek Jacobi's narration of the great battle scenes send chills down the spine. Leaves no doubt that the Iliad was made to be heard not read. I can't imagine anyone not being thrilled with this recording.
The team is perfect. Fagles was the man, and the narrators do a great job. But, when I bought the book, it said "unabridged" and it still does, in my library. On the site, it now says Abridged. Would have been nice to know.
Audible customer service is such, that "why bother?" comes to mind.
"Errgh--why would you abridge THE ILIAD?!"
Errgh--why would you abridge THE ILIAD?! Especially when Derek Jacobi is reading it. He's awesome. But then, so is Homer.
Both. It's beautiful.
"Jacobi Makes It Work"
Derek Jacobi demonstrates how a book should be read. He maintains a consistent voice for each and every character in the Iliad.
From the hard, cold martial air of Achilles to the languid sensuality of Paris to the twisted, biting sarcasm of Thersites, he makes the characters come alive on the strength of his voice.
This is exactly how a 3000 year old blind poet should sound on your iPod.
"Wish McKellen had read it"
I have always loved Jacobi as an actor, but he cannot (or does not) top McKellen's reading of the Odyssey -- an impossible act to follow.
As for this Iliad, Fagles' translation is just as good as everyone says. True poetry. Jacobi's reading is adequate, but not as thoughtful or subtle as I'd expect of him. I'm guessing this was done in one take with very little or no research. Probably rushed. He lays on his unique brand of drama thick in places it does not really belong at all, and seemed to be faking his way through this reading in other ways too. I can make no sense at all of the random snippets read by Maria Tucci. Was there any thought behind that? I don't think so. Probably those were passages Jacobi had mangled the first go-round; and, having no way to get him back to the studio, they brought Tucci to the rescue. She does a good enough job, but I found it distracting listening to her -- mainly b/c I spent too much time wondering why the hell we needed a new narrator all of a sudden.
Harsh review, I know, but really: when dealing with a text as great as this one the publishers should have taken more care to rise to the occasion. They fell short, so this "only" warrants four stars. Could have, and should have, been a slam-dunk five.
"Missing parts of the story"
I read this book for a class earlier in the year and really enjoyed the parts about the hero Diomedes. I was extremely disappointed when the parts I enjoyed the most were skipped.
"Huge pieces not included"
Important parts were skipped over and not even mentioned in the short summaries. Because of this the listener loses key aspects of the characters makeup and thus, misses great opportunities to interpret and understand seemingly simple dialogue and actions.
"Great Translation and Narration"
I truly enjoyed this experience with The Iliad more than my previous couple of attempts at it (only one of which I got all of the way through.) This translation is so much more engaging than the previous ones which tried too hard to force a poetic meter to the story. Listening on audio with a skilled reader like Derek Jacobi was a real pleasure. The excitement of the story came through so well. Try this version of The Iliad.
"One disappointment only..."
My only complaint is that the "next" function does not actually take me to the next book. I am a teacher, and would like to play the audio for my class who is reading from the textbook. The textbook only has certains books from the Iliad, but I can't find them on the audio, so it was a completely wasted purchase for me.
There are no listener reviews for this title yet.

Hello all the basketball fans!
The Euroleague Women is back in action after almost three weeks of break. Tomorrow many teams will make the first step to be in the Final 8. I am very curious how many underdogs will surprise the higher ranked teams. And I am hoping that one of them will be ZVVZ USK Prague.
I feel that this year we have a great team with a lot of potential and more importantly with a lot of heart. I believe that my teammates will fight till the last minute to get the win against Wisla Can-Pack Krakow.
I never had the chance to play in Wisla Can-Pack's gym. But what I've heard and what I've seen on tapes has showed me what a great atmosphere the Wisla fans can create. I know that sometimes they can seem to be a little bit over the board and uncontrollable but thanks to them Wisla Can-Pack can really take advantage of the home court. On the other hand all this support can be stressing for some players but with Wisla having such an experience team I am sure they know how to handle the pressure. I hope everybody in the gym will be able to enjoy the great atmosphere and let the better (and maybe luckier) team win ;)
I don't know if you've heard from somewhere but I got hurt about 2 weeks agoL Not just a bruise, not just a twisted ankle, not just an open cut. During the Czech league game I landed wrong on my left foot and I tore the ligaments in my left ankle. I knew immediately something was wrong because I know my body by now and I know how it behaves. Luckily we have a very great group of doctors who are taking care of our team and I got immediate medical attention. After a couple examinations I was ready to undergo surgery.
It is never easy to realize that you got hurt and it is even harder to hear the bad news that this year's season is over for you. I cannot step on the left foot for 5 more weeks and quite honestly I cannot imagine how I will make it. But one thing I know for sure. This gives me time for myself - time to think, to get better, and to get stronger on so many different levels.
Life is always full of opportunities and I hope I will be able to use this one for the best.

I just ran three miles to get a Starbucks non fat, no foam, triple shot latte with room for cream for my co-worker who was injured while saving a beached whale from certain death. I gave up my place in line at the grocery store to a woman who was carrying twins and had four young children in tow, ages 1-8. She did not say thank you, but I know she appreciated my help by the look in her desperate eyes. I helped an elderly man who was stuck by getting behind his car and pushing until he could gain traction. He said he owed me his life. I then went on to find the engagement ring the frantic twenty year old bride to be misplaced by dropping it in the shower of the gym locker room. She offered a reward, but I refused because I feel it is reward enough to help others. Before going to bed, I heard a strange sound coming from the parking lot just outside my one bedroom apartment building. It was a woman being assaulted by a drunken man. I called the police and immediately went out and put myself between the terrified woman and her would be assailant. After filing a report and bringing the rattled woman into my home for hot cocoa and a warm blanket, I slept like a baby until the middle of the night, when I was awakened by the fire alarm of my apartment building. The apartment next to mine was ablaze, so I immediately ran in to save the cats of the lady who lives there and has no other relatives. After two hours of sleep, I came in to work to find that all of my files had been corrupted and the project I have been working on for 6 months has been completely destroyed. I had planned to back it up today. I could really use a vacation. :-)

I could so use a vacation. I believe the last vacation I had was to Hershey Park in the summer of 1999. It was miserably hot 100+ degrees, with my three toddlers and 8 months pregnant with number four. OMG, what a trip. I am now the single mother of five sons, and it has not been an easy job. A getaway would be Grrreat!!

BEGIN:VCALENDAR VERSION:2.0 PRODID:AU Events Calendar CALSCALE:GREGORIAN X_WR-TIMEZONE:America/New_York BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART:20131010T123000Z DTEND:20131010T023000Z SUMMARY:National Depression Screening Day - Raise Awareness. Give Hope DESCRIPTION:
The Counseling & Testing Center is celebrating the National Depression Screening Day (NDSD) on Thursday, October 10, 2013. Depression, anxiety, related mood disorders cannot be seen on an x-ray. Yet mental illness is painful, and the stigma associated with it often prevents many from seeking help. We want to bring down the barriers of stigma through education and community involvement. We know that there is hope and that connectedness is a powerful medicine.
Whether for depression or another mental health issue, a screening will help you to better understand your state of mind and whether it might be in your interest to seek further help. We'll be offering free and confidential screenings from 12:30-2:30pm at the Leadership Lab, (next to Student Life @ the Campus Center). Also, you can take a free, anonymous, self-assessment for depression, anxiety, and more, without even leaving their dorm room or apartment, anytime, by visiting our online screening portal: http://www.mentalhealthscreening.org/screening/andrews
In addition to completing a screening online on in person, you can become involved in these activities we have planned. Look for them in front of the Campus Center from 12:30-2:30pm:
There will be many ways to become involved. Come, show your support, and raise awareness about depression. There is hope!
To learn more about depression and how to prevent suicide, visit http://www.helpguide.org/topics/depression
If you are concerned about yourself or about someone else, we're here to help. Give us a call 269-471-3470.LOCATION:Campus Center UID:30364_1 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR

- Got A Question?
People take great pride in the appearance of their automobiles.
Whether they are personal vehicles or fleet cars, vans and trucks, looks most certainly matter.
Individuals value clean, polished paint and shiny rims and tires, but there is more to cleanliness than a vehicle's exterior.
Imagine yourself as a carwash customer who carved out a couple of hours on a sunny Saturday afternoon.
You cruise through the in-bay automatic and proceed to dry your vehicle with a clean microfiber cloth before putting on the final detailing touches of tire shine, chrome polish and vinyl trim protectant.
In wanting to give your vehicle's interior the same treatment, you clean the windows, wipe down the dashboard, doors and center console and then attempt to vacuum the seats and carpeting.
Whereas the water pressure and the concentration of cleaning chemicals that helped provide a mirror-like shine on the shell of your vehicle were of merit, the performance of the vacuum is subpar at best.
As a loyal patron of this establishment, you would likely be disappointed — possibly even upset — that you are unable to complete the clean because the vacuum at your disposal is unable to pick up the debris you wish to remove.
Moreover, this less-than-powerful vacuum is noisy, malodorous and, stemming from a lack of exhaust filtration, is blowing soil particulates onto your just-cleaned vehicle.
It is not a stretch to assume that any customer with such an experience — regardless of how regal your establishment might be — would seek an alternative location the next time he or she chooses to clean their motor vehicle.
A great customer experience is contingent on a collection of minor details, each of which adds to or deducts from one's satisfaction; clean, aesthetically pleasing and properly functioning vacuums are minutiae that truly matter.
Just like a domestic vacuum or the one used to ensure a debris-free lobby in your place of business, the orifice on the vacuum head has a great deal of influence on overall performance.
Determining the ideal sized opening and shape of the nozzle is a delicate balancing act of give and take.
Most units come equipped with a particular nozzle because it has been tested and will provide a marriage between a large enough opening to capture coins, straw wrappers, paper clips, bobby pins and myriad other objects of refuse while delivering enough airflow to successfully remove the aforementioned garbage.
The shape and size of the vacuum port can change the characteristics of the vacuum cleaner.
For instance, reducing the size of the opening will increase the amount of airflow, which is measured in cubic feet per minute (CFM), but will naturally decrease the volume capacity of the unit.
In this case, smaller and often heavier debris like pebbles and stones would be more easily vacuumed away, but the user would be limited in the amount of dirt he or she could remove with one pass or the size of the rocks and stones that could be picked up.
According to Johnny Eyer of Mr. Nozzle Inc., this phenomenon can be demonstrated with a common garden hose — and you've likely experienced it firsthand.
"If you have a garden hose and want to fill up a bucket of water the fastest, you would want to do that without the water nozzle," exclaimed Eyer. "People use water nozzles to increase the pressure, and the way that is achieved is by reducing the size of the opening. The nozzle will not have a substantial influence on airflow unless the opening was drastically changed to a larger or smaller diameter from the port on the vacuum."
While CFM can be tweaked by retrofitting new vacuum heads, the effort is fruitless if your units are delivering poor airflow from the start.
A common culprit of poor suction is an overfilled collection tank.
Most vacuum manufacturers and cleaning consultants recommend emptying a vacuum bag or collection tank when it is half to three-quarters full.
Some might think of this as a waste of time and resources but, keeping the receptacle from becoming too full allows air to circulate through the collection area and helps the unit maintain optimum CFM.
Plus, not overburdening the unit by forcing it to work harder than that for which it was intended will keep it running better for longer.
As a business owner or operator, you are cognizant that profit puts food on the table and money keeps the wheels spinning.
And, because happy customers spend more, it is your duty to provide your customers with what they want and ensure their satisfaction to the best of your human ability.
One way carwash proprietors are squeezing a few additional cents out of their patrons is by purchasing and installing multiuse vacuum units that go beyond dry particulate soil removal.
By swapping out your traditional vacuum-only units with newer versions that offer extraction, odor control and more, you exponentially increase the likelihood of customers remaining at your location and pumping quarters or tokens into the machines.
Naturally, this will increase your profits while simultaneously securing satisfied repeat customers.
"The more uses a customer has at the vacuum station, the longer amount of time they're going to spend there," quipped Eyer. "This leads to more money."
Of course, one should never overlook the importance of clean equipment as it relates to use encouragement.
If a carwash patron wants to complete the clean and tidy up their vehicle's interior after washing, polishing and/or waxing the exterior, they are far more likely to do so at your location if your equipment is clean and inviting.
As such, it behooves you and your employees to consistently monitor vacuuming stations and empty trash receptacles and vacuum canisters before they overflow. Also, wipe down units before they become visibly soiled and ensure all hoses, nozzles, buttons, levers, doohickeys and other thingamajigs are in good repair.
A vehicle is not fully clean unless the interior matches the radiance of the paint, rims, tires and trim.
By limiting your available options to traditional vacuums that offer no add-on services or by harboring old units that frustrate with their insufficient suction, you are driving customers away and diminishing your profitability.
But, for the savvy owners and operators who understand the importance of clean, aesthetically pleasing and high-tech vacuums that do more than a patron might initially expect, vacuums can be a source of immense profit.
Remember, revenue is not only about how much someone spends today; rather, it is measured in your successful enticement for them to continually come back to your location and fulfill their carwashing and detailing needs.
And, while every facet of your operation has some influence on repeat business, vacuums are a like the top right-hand corner piece of the puzzle that ties the larger picture together.

Chilliwack BC
Comment: Great gloves . Perfect fit.
Took 2 weeks to arrive.....so much for 1-5 day free delivery

Gary W. Brodnax
Nashville, TN
Comment: Really happy with purchase. Gloves fit well and were shipped fast. Air flow is great and they don't bother me at all on 90 degree days.
Comment: It's one hundred degrees and the gloves live up to the promise. Very happy.

Grant C

Comment: Half of what they get at the dealer. Better too. Fast shipping, always as advertised. Great company.
Senior Ninja
Bakersfield, Kahlifornia
Comment: I ordered these a few months back and am very pleased with the form and function of the gloves. They offered a good amount of wind and debris protection while keeping my hands relatively cool. Velcro seems adequate and the fit is good if you follow the size chart. I like the small tab near the wrist to help slip the glove on. I do wish the cuff went up the wrist a bit more but they are not an armor or winter glove. Good quality glove at a reasonable price.
Comment: I received these very quickly as ordered. They fit well and are very comfortable even in hot weather. 90-95 degrees here in Colorado Springs for a few days. I would recommend them.
Daniel Williams
Colorado Springs, Colorado
Comment: Very pleased with these gloves. I have worn them in 100 degree temperatures the last month and my hands were well ventilated. I had to stretch them out a bit but they now are a great fit. Tour Master provides good products at great prices and Jafrum is the best place to get them.
Cypress TX
Comment: The size chart is great.Did what it said.Order a large .The fit is perfect .They are made great vent like they say.Took a long tripod a hot day.My hands did not sweat Boy and i sweat alot .
Comment: I thought these gloves were pretty solid and would be good for cooler weather but as soon as we had a hot day and I started riding, the wind starting coming through. They fit well and I like the fact that they do not crowd the sleeve of my jacket. I wish they had put just a bit of gel in select spots like the palm as I get a numb left hand from vibration sometimes. However the fit is great.
Charles Pedley
Fonthill, ON
Comment: Nice summer gloves. These gloves fit well and are vented for summer. Down here most ppl say it is summer all year long. They lasted 9 months.
Mark P.
Ft. Lauderdale, Fl
Comment: I always like to ride with gloves even when it is 115 degrees like it was in Las Vegas today. These are phenomenal. Were a little small at first but I "sweated" into them and the fit nice and snug. Gives protection, grip and just enough padding. Normally wear a L or XL. Ordered XL. Might had even moved up to XXL but XL are fine. Only bummer is I lost on going down the highway when I was rushing to keep up with a group and couldn't get them on in time... Will definitely order another pair.
Christopher Dixon
Cincinnati OH
Comment: Most excellent! Needed a pair of gloves that would let my hands breathe in the summer Arizona heat...and these do. They look good too.
I have already recommended them to another friend who rides...
David Jon Devoucoux
Green Valley, Arizona
Comment: Well made and the fit is right on.

MSU's White claims Conerly Trophy
Two years ago, Chris White was a lightly recruited linebacker who garnered just two scholarship offers from Football Bowl Subdivision programs before deciding to play for Mississippi State.
It's become pretty obvious the Bulldogs hit the jackpot.
White won the Cellular South Conerly Trophy on Tuesday night, an honor given to Mississippi's top college football player. The other finalists were Jackson State quarterback Casey Therriault and Southern Miss quarterback Austin Davis. (December 1, 2010, Page 7)
