3 takeways from HealthCare.gov IT hearing; First task order for continuous monitoring is out
Friday - 11/15/2013, 5:20pm EST
"Inside the Reporter's Notebook," is a biweekly dispatch of news and information you may have missed or that slipped through the cracks at conferences, hearings and the like.
This is neither a column nor commentary — it's news tidbits, strongly sourced buzz and other items of interest that have happened or are happening in the federal IT and acquisition communities.
As always, I encourage you to submit ideas, suggestions, and, of course, news to me at email@example.com.
A few takeaways from the Oversight and Government Reform hearing on the IT and procurement breakdowns of HealthCare.gov:
- Congressional staff need to do a better job of understanding how federal
cybersecurity works. The pressure on Henry Chao, the deputy chief
information officer at the Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services, and
Frank Baitman, the CIO for the Department of Health and Human Services as
to why did or didn't they sign the authority to operate was misplaced.
The CIO of any agency should not have the final sign-off of a system's authority to operate. It should be the business owner because they have to make the decision on how much risk to accept.
So in the case of HealthCare.gov, the fact that CMS Administrator Marilyn Tavenner signed off on the ATO and accepted the risk-wrong or right-was the correct process. It's a shame there aren't more staff members on Capitol Hill who understand, or at least were interested in finding out the proper process.
At the same time, it was also unfortunate that federal CIO Steve VanRoekel or Baitman didn't speak up about what is the correct process and educate the lawmakers.
- Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-S.C.) wasn't picking on federal chief technology
officer Todd Park when he asked him where he was for the last 184 weeks
during the development of the HealthCare.gov portal. That's a fair question for
both Park and the administration.
Park has a long history in working on healthcare programs and should've been involved from the beginning.
But what Gowdy missed an opportunity to ask Park was what was his role during the early days of the HealthCare.gov development?
Someone should have jogged the short-term memory of lawmakers to remember that Park was the HHS chief technology officer up from August 2009 to March 2012, when the White House named his as the federal CTO.
The Affordable Care Act became law in March 2010 so Park was the HHS CTO for two years while CMS and HHS developed architecture and plans for the portal. History shows most of the mistakes made on large IT projects go back to the how the agency defines the requirements.
Shouldn't Park have been a major force in the requirements development?
Shouldn't Park have pushed for technologies such as cloud and the use of agile development to ensure the site worked?
The problems of HealthCare.gov, without a doubt, aren't one person's fault. It was a breakdown of processes and procedures. But there were things Park and others could've done to limit the inevitable problems.
- Karen Evans, the former OMB administrator for e-government and IT, didn't pull any punches during her
testimony after the first panel, which most people missed.
Evans, who may have served for a Republican President, but is purple through and through when it comes to good government management and doing the right thing, told the committee, the policy decisions drove the procurement, workflow and business processes.
"For example, one policy decision that is causing problems with HealthCare.gov was whether the system had to verify the identity of an individual before allowing the user to browse the marketplace. That is a policy decision, not a technical decision," Evans said in her written testimony. "Technology can actually do whatever is required. The policy decision that drove the technical implementation created a bottleneck at the front end. I do not want to speculate on why this identity verification option was selected. But the generally accepted procedure and best practice for decisions on implementation requirements is to list each possible viable option along with the advantages and disadvantages of each."
Evans' tenure at OMB included several high profile technology failures, including the FBI's $170 million Virtual Case File debacle. She pointed out the differences in how she handled it and how this administration handled HealthCare.gov.
"In my management oversight role, I began meeting weekly with the department CIO, the bureau CIO, the program management staff, and the contractors — all in the same room — so that I could understand the project and raise policy issues to White House senior officials as necessary. This 'integrated project team' developed an agreed upon project plan to correct the deficiencies and move forward," she said.
This begs the question, where were VanRoekel and Park-and their predecessors Vivek Kundra and Aneesh Chopra — during this entire process?
Evans made it clear that if she was the federal CIO, she would have been more hands-on because it was her boss' top priority.
No one really knows much about what role VanRoekel or Park played in oversight, but one thing is clear from the hearing, the buck stopped somewhere else and not with them.
A gency Web managers are starting to see some real trend analysis across their website as well as across the entire government.
The General Services Administration's digital analytics program is surveying more than 3,000 federal websites to better understand when citizens are visiting and how often.
Gwynne Kostin, GSA's director of the Digital Services Innovation Center, said under the analytics program GSA puts code across all federal websites to measure usage. To be clear, the government doesn't know who is coming to the websites, just what time of day, from which geographic region and through what kind of device-mobile or desktop.
"We found, for example, on Christmas Day last year, a large number of people accessed federal sites through their mobile devices," Kostin said during a panel discussion sponsored by Xerox on Federal News Radio. "We also can compare our traffic trends with other industries. We get about 20 percent of all our traffic today from mobile devices."
The digital analytics program is one of the more interesting parts of the Digital Government Strategy, released 18 months ago.
It's been 10 months since the Office of Management and GSA mentioned the digital analytics program. At the time, Kostin and OMB deputy administrator for e-government and IT Lisa Schlosser both said at separate events the tool would help agencies understand how better to serve citizens.
The Agriculture Department has been using Web analytics for about a year. It even has a person assigned to examining the data and identifying how USDA could better improve the delivery and distribution of information, said Amanda Nguyen, director of Web communications at the agency.
"We have a better idea of when there are dead zones and people don't open messages," she said at the same panel discussion. "We either resend or avoid those times."
That's exactly the type of information the government needs to meet the goals of better customer service, which the last two administrations have made a priority.
T he first task order under the continuous diagnostics and monitoring blanket purchase agreement came out earlier this week.
The Homeland Security Department and GSA issued the request for quote to the 17 contract holders on Nov. 13, according to a DHS official.
The official said task order is for tools and sensors only, no services, to be provided to federal civilian agencies. Vendors have until Nov. 22 to respond.
Requests to both DHS and GSA for a copy of the RFQ were denied. A GSA spokeswoman said by email, "Because we are now in the middle of an active procurement, GSA and DHS will not be able to comment on the details of the RFQ until after an award is made."
Of course if that was really the case, why is FedBizOpps.gov a public site? Agencies post dozens and dozens of solicitations so vendors can read and respond and aren't considered procurement sensitive.
This continuous diagnostics and monitoring task order is another example of in a long list of illogical decisions by GSA not to be transparent. It shows a capricious approach to living up to the transparency goals of the administration. GSA refuses to let anyone but schedule contract holder see RFQs or draft RFQs listed on GSA Advantage. They withheld public release of the email-as-a-service RFQ and of the infrastructure-as-a-service task order as two most recent examples. There are dozens of others ones.
And to say it's because it's an active procurement is not a valid excuse.
GSA promotes transparency through vendor pricing and in October 2012 listed transparency as a key tenet of its open government plan.
But they aren't transparent when it comes to these RFQs.
I've talked to senior officials at GSA about this. Mary Davie, the assistant commissioner in the Office of Integrated Technology Services and Anne Rung , the chief acquisition officer, both agreed that making these task orders public makes sense. But after more than three years of asking for this policy to change, I've gotten no progress.
T he Digital Accountability and Transparency Act received a positive budget score from the Congressional Budget Office on Nov. 13, and now is ready for the next step.
Industry sources confirmed the House will vote on the DATA Act on Monday.
CBO found that the DATA Act would cost $395 million to implement between 2014 and 2018, mostly for collecting and reporting financial data. But, CBO said, any net increase in spending would not be significant and enacting the bill would not affect revenues.
The budget office said changing financial management systems and standardizing data would cost agencies $2 million to $3 million each for a total of $285 million over the five year period.
The Senate's version of the DATA Act passed the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee on Nov. 6, but it has not yet moved to the full Senate for a vote.
CBO also issued a budget score for the Federal IT Acquisition Reform Act (FITARA).
It found FITARA would cost agencies $145 million between 2014 and 2018 to implement, and again would not have any significant increase in spending by the government.
The biggest cost would come from the expanded roles of agency CIOs and their need to hire additional staff. CBO said that would cost $50 million over five years.
The House passed FITARA as part of the Defense Authorization bill in June.
The Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee continues to research and look at the issues raised under FITARA.
Another busy week next week, starting on Monday when you can check out our own Tom Temin broadcasting live at the National Contract Management Association government conference in Washington. Beyond Tom, Shay Assad, the Defense Department's director of pricing; Air Force Maj. Gen. Wendy Masiello, the deputy assistant secretary for contracting; and Jeffrey Birch, acting director of the Federal Acquisition Institute; are scheduled to speak. NextGov's Prime conference takes place Wednesday and Thursday in Washington. Leigh Heyman, director of new media technologies at the White House, and Kate Randal, insider threat analyst at the FBI, are among those scheduled to speak. Then on Friday, AFCEA D.C. hosts the Mobile Technologies Symposium. Speakers include Jennifer Carter, the Defense Information System's component acquisition executive, and John Wilcox, director communications systems and CIO for the Special Operations Command.

Today's Know Nothing Party wears it proudly
Some people don't like it when I say things like that. But in the 1850s the name was meant ironically; today's version flaunts know-nothingism like a banner. For today's Republicans, to whom true conservatism is as foreign as whatever it is Sarah Palin sees from her porch, proscribing knowledge is an organizing principle. To see what I mean, let's have an edifying look at several examples.
Wyoming's governor has asked President Obama not to explore the environmental impact of burning coal. Congressional Republicans kiboshed funds to study gun violence. Texas Republicans banned any mention of rising sea levels from assessments of climate change; cut the words right out of a report. North Carolina Republicans made it illegal to use sea level predictions in developing coastal management policies. A Republican congressman on the House Science Committee (!) calls science "lies from the pit of Hell." Included in the Texas Republican party platform (Texas: it's columnist gold) is this memorable statement: "We oppose the teaching of Higher Order Thinking Skills, critical thinking skills and similar programs ... which focus on behavior modification and have the purpose of challenging the student's fixed beliefs and undermining parental authority." Imagine that: challenging students' "fixed" beliefs by teaching them to think, exposing them to stuff their parents didn't!
"What a snob," said Rick Santorum of Obama's plans to help kids get education beyond high school. Sarah Palin mocks educated people for a living. (Full disclosure: she crossed a line with me when she derided fruit fly research, in which discipline I did my honors research project in college.) When Jon Huntsman warned Republicans not to become the anti-science party, he was ejected from presidential candidacy faster than Mitt Romney's money hied to the Cayman Islands. Last November, Congressional Republicans squelched a nonpartisan report from the Congressional Research Service that found no correlation between top tax rates and economic growth.
There's more: A Republican congressman is introducing legislation banning the Census Bureau from collecting demographic and economic data, despite their critical importance to both public and private agencies. House Republicans have managed to restrain the National Science Foundation from doing social science research; and one of them (a Texan!) has proposed subjecting all research to Congressional approval, as opposed to scientific peer review. Bye-bye small government, hello Politburo!
Everyone tends to ignore, let's call them, inconvenient truths. But there's only one political party methodically preventing them from being known, while characterizing intellectualism and quality education as some sort of fey elitism. From their propagandists of the airwaves to their elected officials, hiding the truth and making up falsehoods (reeducation camps! birth certificates! jihadists in the White House!) isn't the occasional outlier, it's the factory setting. Plan A: suffocate unwelcome information at birth; Plan B: block new facts from conception. In what way is this conservatism? How do thoughtful conservatives rationalize associating with a party that aggressively expurgates knowledge? If it bothers them, why aren't they saying so? These aren't made-up accusations; they're visible to the naked eye. Where's the outrage? Or embarrassment.
Throughout the country, public education is under attack by Republican legislatures (some calling it "mind control"), cutting funding, seeking to give religious beliefs equal time in science classes. (Fun project: Search "4th grade science quiz dinosaur." Then define "mind control.") The charter schools movement threatens to become a Trojan horse for public funding of retrogressive or religious education (happily, the Louisiana Supreme Court just declared Bobby Jindal's plan unconstitutional), producing kids deliberately taught not to think. (Texas out-bagged that cat.) It's as if Republicans have concluded that informed people will no longer vote for them.
And here's the irony: neither recognizing nor acknowledging it, today's Know Nothing Party counts on liberals to save them from themselves. Because it sure won't be products of their redaction-based education, or people they've blocked from knowing stuff, who discover a cure for cancer, who solve our energy problems, negotiate a treaty, or make the next technological leap. As long as there are liberals who value education and respect science, today's Republicans can indulge their culture of censorship and denial, while the rest of us strive to secure the future for everyone, against the tide, facing facts.

JON CARDINELLI reports that a thrilling 28-25 victory for the Hurricanes in Wellington has left the door open for the Stormers to top the Super Rugby league.
A controversial try awarded four minutes into injury time allowed the Hurricanes to snatch a late win and keep their own play-off prospects alive in the process. This result is a bad one for the Bulls, Sharks and Reds, who are all chasing a qualifying spot, but it is a very favourable one for the Stormers.
The Cape side simply need to beat the Rebels in Cape Town on Saturday to win the league and secure a home semi-final. This would result in the Stormers' first ever top-of-the-table finish, and put them into a position to play a possible final at Newlands.
The Chiefs certainly blew an opportunity in Friday's encounter at the Cake Tin. It was clear that a bonus-point win was what they were after, as five log points would have secured top spot.
A simple win would also have given them a chance to finish in pole position. The Stormers haven't scored a bonus-point win this season, but if the Chiefs had won narrowly in Wellington, the Cape side would need to win big in their own final league match. Perhaps the Chiefs should have secured the win before being so ambitious.
But special mention must go to the Hurricanes for their role in a result that has turned the tournament on its head. They were once again inconsistent in this crunch match, and flyhalf Beauden Barrett missed four kicks at goal. To be fair, they were the better side on the day, and as the final call indicated, the 50/50 calls also went their way.
There was minimal kicking in this contest as both teams went in search of a bonus-point win. The Chiefs started well, but then battled to live with Hurricanes at the breakdown. Indeed they were fortunate to be ahead in the final minutes, and if they had won they would have pointed to a crucial score right before half-time as well as Aaron Cruden's intercept try in the 58th minute as game-winning plays.
But in defeat, it can be said that the eight points the Chiefs banked right before half-time were scored when Hurricanes prop Ben May was off the park. The tighthead was sin-binned for a reckless tackle on Sonny Bill Williams, and the Chiefs made the Hurricanes pay to the tune of eight points.
The intercept try allowed the Chiefs to take the lead at a crucial stage of the game, and credit must go to Cruden for reading the play and latching on to the pass by Barrett. It was a seven-pointer against the run of play, but it highlighted the Chiefs' threat from the turnover.
Aside from his goal-kicking and that unfortunate pass, Barrett had an absolute blinder at flyhalf. His decision making was excellent and the Chiefs' defence was guilty of giving him too much room to run and create opportunities for team-mates running a supporting line.
For the Chiefs, Williams was superb, breaking tackles and delivering some inspired offloads. But unfortunately for the visitors, Williams failed to link up with his team-mates after making many a break, and as a result the Chiefs failed to finish some great attacking surges.
The Hurricanes are a young side, but they showed terrific character as the clock wound down. The Chiefs should have put them away during this period, but poor ball security at the breakdown and some woeful tactical kicking allowed the hosts to take control.
It was all the Chiefs could do to hang on, conceding penalty after penalty at the breakdown. The Hurricanes eventually got over the line with the clock on 84 minutes, Dane Coles showing some incredible strength to finish.
Referee Jonathan Kaplan referred the decision to the TMO as the 25 000 screaming fans anticipated a fairytale finish for their Hurricanes team. Tawera-Kerr Barlow looked to have pulled off a heroic tackle on Coles, although it seemed inconclusive whether Kerr-Barlow had got his arm under the ball or if Coles had indeed got the ball down on to the tryline.
The TMO decided it was the latter, and that decision has had some far reaching ramifications. It's now likely that the Stormers will beat the Rebels on Saturday and top the league, but the Sharks and Bulls will need to win big in their respective clashes to guarantee a spot in the play-offs.
For the Hurricanes, they have kept their hopes alive with an outstanding win over the Chiefs, and no doubt they will be cheering the Sharks and Bulls' opponents on Saturday.

T O P I C R E V I E WMrSpace86Is sending Chris Hadfield a letter to the Canadian Space Agency the best way to get his autograph? Any specific instructions? Thanks and please let me know!eurospaceEither CSA or NASA's Astronaut Office in Houston.jmandellI have thoroughly enjoyed everything Commander Hadfield has done in orbit, and I was wondering when/how I might go about obtaining his signature. I'm want to get a picture signed (and possibly have it personalized) for one of my teachers for a end of year gift.Do I email a request, or send a letter? Thanks for the help — JustinDaugherty54You have to watch his music video from the ISS, singing the "ground control to Major Tom" song (Space Oddity). The man has a pretty decent voice!eurospaceJustin - contacting the Canadian Space Agency has always worked for me as far as Chris Hadfield is concerned. They take their time, but sure are very reliable (gee - you even get a receipt for having sent in a request).jmandellI sent them an email yesterday, and they replied today saying that the request has been sent to the appropriate places. They also said that it could take 6 to 12 months, due the busy schedule of post flight stuff.Hart SastrowardoyoSent a request to Hadfield the day he landed, got a printed letter also saying "due to logistics constraints, you should note that it may take up to 6 to 12 months before you receive a response."What's the market value of a Diane Hughes preprinted note from the CSA? eurospaceThe market value of Diana Hughes autograph depends on whether that intern follows through with her dream of flying into space one time. Then, in 25 years time, you can up your meager Gannett retirement benefits by selling it as "early vintage autograph." Hart SastrowardoyoConsidering my pension has long been frozen, I will retrieve the memo from my recycling can, as it will be worth more than any money I get from my employer....Hart SastrowardoyoGot an ISP from Chris Hadfield today. He must be cleaning out his desk.jmandellI just received the two autographs I requested! They arrived almost exactly 1 month after I requested them. I am very impressed by the CSA's operation. Shuttle EndeavourDoes Chris Hadfield still accept autograph requests through the CSA. If so, who do I e-mail?RonpurI sent an email here:email@example.com received a reply shortly saying thanks for your interest, and it could take 6 to 12 months to process my request.Shuttle EndeavourOk. Thanks. I tried the email listed a few weeks ago but never got a reply.RonpurJust a little over a month later, I received my autographed photo. Personalized to me, saying "Pursue your dreams".Yep, Chris is great!Daugherty54I just mailed an 8x10 to the Canadian Space Agency. This is the first time I had to fill out a customs form and pay for a "package" at a cost of $7.35. Is this normal now?Hart SastrowardoyoFor what it is worth, I've mailed 5x7s and return envelopes to outside the US and never had to fill out a customs form. By the same token, requests which included those 5x7s (or 8x10s if they had them) never had customs forms attached.cycleroadieI think it comes down to weight. I recently sent some calendars to Canada, when it was a single calendar, it was light enough not to be an issue. Did you enclose return mailing supplies, etc? If so might have made it too heavy.SpaceyInMNI requested Mr. Hadfield's autograph via e-mail to the CSA on 12-31-13. I received a very polite, professional reply on 01-10-14 that my request had been received and that an autographed photo had been sent. I received the photo in the mail today. It's a very nice photo on thick card stock, and I couldn't be more pleased with the whole experience.JBoeI wanted to try the email out and share that it's by far the best thing and the "thank you for your interest" card made it special. So on 27 January 2014 I sent an email to the email address in this topic and the following is a timeline for what it's worth. Initial email sent and email reply that my request was received on 27 January 2014Received a direct email from Astronauts, Life Science and Space Medicine on 30 January 2014Received package on 07 February 2014 (approximately 12 days from request to receipt) I know that if you want to receive autographs of NASA astronauts they have to be on the active roles, but this is not the case in that they forwarded my request to COL Hadfield and Julie Payette. Although, I didn't ask for the autographs of other retired CSA astronauts.Dave_JohnsonJust curious for those who have requested Chris' autograph by email - did you send a general request to the email address, or was your request specifically written to Chris, similar to the way that it would be done by regular mail directly to him?JBoeI sent an email to the Canadian Space Agency (see above). I'm not sure if they can personalize the photo, but you'll get an autograph of him.jiffyq58I got a personalized WSS photo from the CSA for my son. It just takes longer if you want it personalized.JBoeThanks for the tip! I'll have to reach back out to them.RowlandAfter two letters, one to NASA and one to CSA, an email to the CSA and an email to Chris Hadfield, I have received a message from his agent saying that he no longer accepts any requests for autographs and any requests received will be turned down in order to be fair to all his fans. Oh well. You win some you loose some.

BELMONT – Whenever Tyshawn Good's career at Belmont Abbey College ends, he'll be one of the school's all-time leading scorers.
But Good wants to be remembered for more as the Crusaders open the 2013 Conference Carolinas tournament Monday night at 7 p.m. at home against rival Queens.
"I want to be a conference champion," said Good, whose team finished fourth in the regular season race but could take the league's tournament title with wins on Monday, Thursday and Saturday. "One of the goals I set with the other seniors before the season started was to win 20 games and win the conference. Right now, those goals are still the same.
"I feel that as long as we give all that we have, we can look back and realize we gave our best effort on the floor."
As they begin the tournament, Good and his teammates are one win shy of the school's first 20-win season since 2009; The Abbey is 19-9 entering Monday's tournament game.
Good has powered a high-scoring offense with a record single-season scoring total and scoring average and 770 and 27.5, respectively.
And his 27.5 scoring average makes Good the nation's leading men's basketball scorer. (Only Massachusetts-Lowell women's player Bianca Simmons averages more – at 28.2 per game – among all men's and women's players at NCAA, NAIA and NJCAA schools.)
Good's high-scoring has helped the Crusaders as a team have reach triple figures in scoring five times this season – or one off the school's record of triple-figure scoring games of six set in 1955-56.
"I just go out and play hard and those numbers just come," Good said. "I try to score at times and I want to share the ball and let other players get good looks, too. My teammates make it easy for me. They know I like the ball in transition. They have confidence in me and I have confidence in them."
For Good, the ability to score in bunches seems natural.
A native of Jamaica, N.Y., Good could've attended perennial high school powers like Christ the King or St. Mary's. But his parents chose to enroll him in Darlington School in Rome, Ga.
"My family thought the boarding school was the best thing for me," Good said. "It was four long years in Georgia in Rome, but it got me away from the distractions of New York and helped with my academics."
At Darlington, Good was among the state's most prolific scorers and set school records for single-season (778 points) and career scoring (2,022) before he graduated in 2009.
He also did so at a time when the state of Georgia was producing several talented players.
That year's Mr. Basketball was eventual Georgia Tech standout and current NBA standout Derrick Favors of the Utah Jazz. Among those joining Good on the all-state team were current N.C. State standouts Lorenzo Brown and Richard Howell, current Kentucky standout Ryan Harrow and current Georgia Tech standouts Mfon Udofia, Kammeon Holsey and Brandon Reed.
Coming to Belmont Abbey, Good went from an offense geared solely to his talents to one designed to take advantage of all of his teammates' talents.
Current Crusaders' coach Stephen Miss, like many coaches in the past 50 years, uses legendary coach John Wooden's "UCLA cuts" offensive scheme. Miss learned the offense working as an assistant under former UCLA assistant and head coach Jim Harrick when Harrick was at the University of Georgia. And it's the same offense another former Harrick assistant (Mark Gottfried) uses at N.C. State.
"It was a major transition for me," said Good, who wasn't the primary option on Belmont Abbey teams that featured eventual 1,000-point scorers Richard Barbee, Kyle Phillips and Chad Patus in his first two seasons. "I wasn't really used to playing offense. My coach in high school would just get me the ball and say, 'Go score!'
"So when I came here, it was more structured and the stress is on being more efficient. I've learned so many new things and have added things to my game. I've become more of a team player and learned how to score within the system. I think it's made me play smarter."
It's also led Good to dream the biggest of basketball dreams.
"I want to give it my best shot to play in the NBA," said Good, who is set to receive his sports management degree from Belmont Abbey in May. "I really feel I have the tools and the drive to play in the NBA. And that's what I'm going to do. Pursue my dreams and keep that dream alive.
"I'm hoping to get invited to (NBA) workouts or summer league. I think being close to Charlotte will be an outlet to opportunities for me."

Thermage in Knoxville
If you've thought about facelifts in the past, but have been put off by the idea of surgery, then you might want to ask specialists in Knoxville about Thermage. Thermage is a non-invasive treatment using radiofrequency technology to stimulate the growth of collagen. Collagen is what gives the skin volume, and what is lost due to aging.
Doctors in Knoxville can use Thermage to safely tighten skin under your chin, neck or jawline, as well as lift eyelids and smooth wrinkles. Thermage can also correct acne scarring. This is a slow and gradual process of rebuilding collagen, taking up to 4 months, which makes it not ideal for everyone. But for those who don't want a rapid and jarring shift, this might be your best bet. Contact an expert in Knoxville to find out more about it, and to see if it is right for you.

Great card
This magnet card served as both an invitation and a "keep-the-date". I wrapped it around sparkly gift-tissue paper everyone loved it. i must warn you tho, *** this invitation is heavier than the regular envelopes and it takes $.60 (one forever stamp + one twenty cent stamp) to mail it out within the US***. overall i was very pleased!!!! oh and the picture is not HD but it looks great.
Very cute design
I was so excited when I finally got these in the mail to see the final product. They were absolutely adorable. It was very easy making the changes to the template and adding the photos. When I had questions they were very quick to respond. I would definitely recommend magnetDtreet.

Meet a Specialist: Dr. Greg Whitman
Otoneurologist Gregory T. Whitman, M.D., a balance specialist, brings more than 15 years of experience in the diagnosis of dizziness, and gait and balance disorders to his practice at Mass. Eye and Ear's Balance and Vestibular Center at Braintree Rehabilitation Hospital in Braintree, Mass.
Dr. Whitman, who attended medical school at the University of Connecticut and completed his residency at Boston City Hospital and Tufts, returns to the New England area from the University of California at Irvine, where he served on the full-time faculty and directed the education programs in the Department of Neurology.
"It's going to take a while to acclimate to the winters again," says Dr. Whitman jokingly, "but I'm really excited to be in New England again and to have joined Mass. Eye and Ear's Balance and Vestibular Center. I know that this is one of the best places to put my education and training to use; I'm looking forward to treating the patients who need my help most."
Because the sense of balance involves a number of systems in the body, diagnosing the cause of balance disorders and dizziness can be a complex task. Dr. Whitman's combination of training and experience -- subspecialty training and experience in otoneurology, in addition to experience in general and geriatric neurology-- makes him particularly well-suited to help patients experiencing dizziness.
Dr. Whitman is board certified in neurology, having completed a two-year fellowship in otoneurology at the University of California, Los Angeles.
Mass. Eye and Ear's Balance and Vestibular Center at Braintree Rehabilitation Hospital uses both clinical expertise and the most advanced computerized technology to provide complete evaluation, diagnosis and treatment for dizziness and balance disorders. The Balance and Vestibular Center is located at the Braintree Rehabilitation Hospital at 250 Pond Street, Braintree, MA 02184.

According to an eyewitness, Hall's pickup truck ran into a stump, completely uprooting it and flipping the truck, then hitting another stump before wrapping around a tree.
A neighbor called 911 and Mississippi Highway Patrol and the Union County Sheriff's department responded to the scene.
Hall had received several injuries, including a severe cut on his arm. He was airlifted to a hospital in Memphis, Tenn.

What if we knew what tomorrow would bring?
Would we fix it? Could we?
Born into the lap of luxury, sixteen-year-old Tamara Goodwin has never had to look to tomorrow, until the abrupt death of her father leaves her and her mother a mountain of debt and forces them to move in with Tamara's peculiar aunt and uncle in a tiny countryside village. Lonely and bored, Tamara's only diversion is a traveling library. There she finds a large leather-bound book with a gold clasp and padlock. Intrigued, she pries the lock open, and what she finds inside takes her breath away.
Tamara sees entries written in her handwriting and dated for the next day, and when they happen exactly as recorded, she realizes she may have found the solution to her problems. But Tamara soon learns that some pages are better left unturned and that, try as she might, she can't interfere with fate.

Past Travellers' Ratings & Comments
Holy Guacamole
Glenys - Australia, 3 June, 2014
As I have now done six tours with Geckos, and have been especially happy with all of them, I will no doubt be looking to do some more. I like the style, and being a lone traveller there's that very comfortable feeling of security mixed with leisure and freedom, and I'm always quick to recommend Geckos to any like minded people I meet.

Nathan - Australia, 12 June, 2014

The Wallabies have beaten the Lions 16-15 to set up a series decider in Sydney.
Lions fullback Leigh Halfpenny missed a 51 metre penalty with the last kick of the game to win the Lions the series.
A week ago the heartbreak belonged to Australian fans when Kurtley Beale slipped and missed with a penalty kick to win the first Test. The Lions won 23-21.
This Saturday the roles were reversed and the Lions, trailing 16-15 won a penalty with seven seconds to go. They kept the ball alive and won another penalty from 41 metres. Halfpenny, on form the most accurate goalkicker in world rugby, has a radar that rarely misses from 45 metres in. But 50 metres is just a metre too long for the brilliant kicker.
We saw that in Auckland in 2011 when his 50 metre attempt to win Wales the semi-final against France dipped under the cross bar and we saw it again in Melbourne.
The Lions were the better side throughout and were especially strong at the breakdown and the decision to leave out veteran George Smith seemed to have cost the Wallabies the series.
However, Australia produced their most effective period of play after 75 minutes and for the first time in the game retained possession for 10-plus phases. It had the necessary effect and a converted try put them ahead in a match they never looked like winning.
Wallabies – Try: Adam Ashley-Cooper. Conversion: Christian Lealiifano. Penalties: Christian Lealiifano (3).
British & Irish Lions – Penalties: Leigh Halfpenny (4).

Bring energy, money and sensible shoes, and step out from your Paris hotel into an enchanting cradle of culture, romance and cool.
Paris' attractions range from the soaring landmarks of the Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomphe and Notre Dame to its subterranean catacombs and Père Lachaise cemetery, from the vast Louvre and Orsay museums to the lush Tuileries and Luxembourg gardens. These are just some of the riches that entice travellers to book a stay at a Paris hotel and visit the world's most popular city break destination.
Stay in our Paris accommodation near the Left Bank ("Rive Gauche"') to soak up the Parisian ambiance ambling through the area's bohemian backstreets, sampling pastries in pavement cafes and picking up souvenirs in artisan shops. For eye-wateringly expensive boutiques, head to the Champs-Elysées, Boulevard Haussmann and Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré. Those seeking vintage goods, antiques and bric-a-brac need to leave early from their Paris hotels to explore the sprawling flea market ("Puces") of Saint-Ouen.
Not just the "City of Light," but of sound and taste too. Come sunset, it's the turn of traditional bars, chic clubs, mellow jazz cafés and saucy cabaret venues–along with the world's best gastronomy–before visitors return bewitched to our Paris hotels.

Snow Hill — Greene County is gearing up for "Q" on the Creek, a new fundraiser for the sixth annual N.C. Sweet Potato Festival which will be held Oct. 24-26.
The barbecue cook-off will be combined with Greene's Got Talent, as well as additional entertainment on Saturday.
The events will happen at the Elaney Wood Heritage Farmers Market and county athletic complex starting with the delivery of 14 pigs at 7 a.m. and cooking by 14 teams from Greene and surrounding counties beginning at 7:30 a.m.
Judging will be conducted at 4:30 p.m. by certified judges of the N.C. Pork Council, and plates will start being sold around 6 p.m. with entertainment to follow by Nell Cannon and Alan Ginn.
Trudy B. Hardy, the Greene County Chamber of Commerce director and co-chairwoman of the Sweet Potato Festival executive committee, said the number of teams is twice as many as she expected.
"The whole community," she said, "— we're extremely excited we've had this many pigs."
Stephen Rouse, a member of the Chamber board and committee, said he believes the cook-off will be a good start for the success of future festivals.
"It kind of surprised me," he said. "We didn't think we'd have that many teams. But we're glad to have them."
The local grocery store, Food Pride, is donating a pig for the plates and supplying the remainder for the cook-off.
The entry fee for the cook-off is $50 per team. The N.C. Sweet Potato Festival is offering $250 for first place, $150 for second place, $50 for third place and a fourth-place trophy for presentation. For applications, email email@example.com or call 252-747-8090. Applications are also available for download at ncsweetpotatofestival.com.
With the county's finances in turmoil and deficits from last year's festival totaling more than $20,000, Hardy wrote the county manager's office in May saying the Chamber wanted to set up an executive committee to organize this year's festival.
"This committee hasn't had a lot of time to put things together," she said, "but we have worked very hard to make sure we have a festival this year."
Hardy said people were telling her they want to have a festival this year, so she is "being mindful" of how much money is being spent.
"Our goal," she said, "is we're not going to walk away and not be able to pay for the festival."
Two citizens have donated funds to pay for the bands on Friday and Saturday night at the festival.
County Coordinator Misty Chase said the county will be donating this year in-kind contributions of rent and utilities for the festival, and the past unpaid bills of $3,269 have been paid.
Past festivals cost the county about $15,000, except for last year, which cost as much as $6,000, Chase said. Last year, the county didn't have name bands.
The talent contest was the idea of Cannon, who is not on the festival committee.
"(Cannon) took it on as a project," Hardy said. "It's a way to promote our talent... That's one thing Greene County has a lot of is talent."
On Thursday, five individuals and groups participated in the Greene's Got Talent audition. All five will perform at the "Q" where two finalists will be selected to perform at the Sweet Potato Festival.
"This is the first time we've done this," Kim Barrow, committee co-chairwoman with Hardy, said about the talent show. "So, we're pleased we've got five to participate."
While tables will be set up inside the market building for eating, it's recommended visitors bring lawn chairs as the events will take place outdoors at the recreation complex.
Barbecue plates will be sold at $10 for adults and $5 for senior citizens, and children younger than 12 can eat free.
Tickets are available at the Chamber office, 215 N. Greene St.; Greene Street Spa; Harper's Landscaping; Beaman's restaurant; Greene County Cooperative Extension; and the town halls of Snow Hill, Hookerton and Walstonburg.
"We certainly do hope," Hardy said, "the citizens from around the Greene County area will support this event to help raise money for the festival. This gives us an opportunity to highlight and to promote our Greene County pork."
For information, call the Greene County Chamber of Commerce at 252-747-8090.
Margaret Fisher can be reached at 252-559-1082 or firstname.lastname@example.com. Follow her on Twitter @MargaretFishr.

Love love love!!!
I was so impressed with my save the dates I blindly ordered my wedding invitations (after 7 appointments with local vendors). The ladies from MagnetStreet called me twice to ensure I knew what I was ordering and to explain my color choices. When I received my invitations I actually squealed. They were beyond what I had imagined!! I am obsessed!! <3
beautiful work
Ordering invitations for my son's wedding on line was suprisingly extremely easy. I actually made an error in choosing the colors for the invitation and the response card and was called immediately to rectify. I could not be more pleased with the outcome.
LOVED my
I absolutely, positively love my invitations (as well as the RSVP and accommodation cards I got to go with them). I personalized them to fit my wedding colors, a process that was super easy (and fun!). I could not have been more thrilled with the results. Thank you, Magnet Street!
Highly Satisfied
Couldn't have asked for more with these invitations. The printing is very clean and the colors vibrant. Thank you!!
Great quality!
I used black, red, and white for my colors. The combination look great! The paper quality was very nice. I am very pleased!

One of the really bad effects of an economy experiencing a downturn such as the one we are in today, are the choices many people have to make with their money. Unfortunately, in order to survive, lots of people who are good stewards of their churches and charity in general, cease to make contributions, though their concern for others has not ceased.
The really worthy causes charitable organizations attempt to address have not disappeared just because the economy has gotten bad, just the contrary, in many cases the problems and needs have increased. It is only the donations that make helping others possible have disappeared to a large degree.
As each citizen of Union County realigns his or her budget to better accommodate an ever changing economy, the right thing to do is continue to set aside a few dollars to share with those who were less fortunate before and who remains the same today.
As layoffs occur involving young and old alike, many of whom have never faced unemployment, it can seem like the end of the world to those affected. It is with our gifts of money or food that can make a major difference in the physical and mental survival of our neighbors.
With the unselfish assistance of the people of Union County, our neighbors will weather this economic storm much better than those elsewhere. We are incapable of sharing with everyone, on every front, but we can make sure that those with whom we have living and worked over the years, continue to belong to the Union County family.
Should you want to continue your unselfish contributions to help others or want to begin, a good place to start would be to call the folks at the United Way of Northeast or any of the many local churches in the area, where you will find information to direct you to the organizations who need your help now.
Every thoughtful gift of money or food will make a difference, if not immediately, but if only to help charitable organizations hold out as long as they can while the times continue to change for all of us. Stimulus and bailout packages from the federal government will take a very long time to reach individuals in Union County, so it is up to us to take care of our own.
